Although many people know that there is an invisible and huge mastermind behind Kalinshan who secretly stirs up disputes and controls everything, they just can't find any substantial evidence.
Any individual or force that tried to follow the clues to investigate the organization either ended up with the investigators mysteriously disappearing or dying, or finding that all the clues had suddenly disappeared.
If it weren't for Zuo Si, an outsider who knew the inside story, who intervened, the Lords of the Symbols would probably continue to control Kalinshan and maintain a delicate balance between the three parties with Shane VII and Ivyklathasagran "Sharp Teeth".
But now, with the death of the legendary dragon king Ivyklathasagran "Sharptooth", and the seven masters of the entire entangled symbol being recruited by Zuo Si and sent to Cyre to carry out infiltration missions, the latter's powerful ability in this regard has once again been given room to play.
Although the red robe wizards of Theil knew about the existence of a secret organization called the Entangled Talisman composed of powerful undead spellcasters, and had carried out a series of cooperation with it, they were not clear about the identity of the real ruler behind it.
The extremely secretive Talisman Masters would never show up easily, but would send their trusted subordinates or middlemen to make contact.
In addition, the long-standing tradition of infighting among the Red Robes of Sel has resulted in each chief having only a partial understanding of the intelligence and information at hand, and the mutual hostility has given the Lord of the Symbols a lot of room for maneuver.
In just a few days, Ragon, Kartak Spierse, Plamon "Frostmark" Rakesk, Sapherakta, Shelesha, Muratl, and Rain completed the first step of the plan - infiltration - in their different identities.
Among them, Shelisha disguised herself as a newly converted vampire, but in fact she directly controlled the vampire family under Demetra Flas.
Rain silently killed a female ring mage instructor through an ambush, and used the nine-ring necromancy magic [Soul Binding] to successfully capture the opponent's soul and torture it.
After getting all the information, he used magic props to transform into the other person's appearance and replace him. Even his closest apprentice didn't notice anything unusual.
Kartak Spierse and Plamon "Frostmark" Rakesk occupied two abandoned castles deep in the wilderness mountains in the south and north of Serre respectively, and then deliberately released news to lure the red-robed wizard to send people to investigate.
After contact is made, some information is deliberately revealed to the other party, causing them to make a wrong judgment and believe that the two powerful legendary liches are members of other spellcaster organizations that lived on this land during the warlord period.
As expected, he was recruited by the two red-robed chiefs and became their secret ally, helper and staff.
Sapherakta disguised himself as a dragon lich trying to break free from the control of the Dragon Cult, signed a contract of mutual assistance with Aznar Sruul, and even received a temporary nest and a large amount of gold and silver treasures as a gift from the other party.
The mind flayer lich Muratl used his racial advantage to win the trust of a senior red robe wizard who was only one step away from the chief, joined the opponent's camp and began to poach talents secretly.
By using his powerful psychic powers to give hints and tamper with memories, he completed the tasks assigned to him by others without them knowing.
As soon as the time comes, we can immediately help this red-robed wizard challenge the existing faction leader.
As for Lagon...
He did not hide his identity at all. He went straight to Sazastan and said that his entanglement symbol had been completely destroyed by Zuo Si, and now he wanted to find a new place to stay.
Since Sazastan did not know the abilities of the planeswalkers and was worried about not having strong enough helpers to centralize power, he agreed without even thinking about it.
The most important thing is that Lagong came alone without any team or forces.
Therefore, Sazastan felt that the other party could not possibly pose a threat to him who had such a huge force and countless subordinates.
What's more, he already has a group of powerful liches under his command. If he can get help from Lagun, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.
In this way, the seven masters of the talismans, like parasites, easily penetrated into the red-robed wizard's body without any effort, and continuously absorbed the opponent's nutrients to strengthen themselves.
They are like the shadows cast by the sun on someone.
As long as Sel and the Red Wizards are still fighting each other, no one will ever notice them.
At this moment, deep in the huge maze-like sewers under the city of Eltaber, the seven Lords of Symbols gathered together.
In the middle of them was a huge binding array made of mithril, and in the center of the array was imprisoned a gigantic demon that was over six meters tall and covered with green scales all over its body.
Judging from the chaotic evil aura it exudes, this demon is only one step away from becoming a secondary abyss lord.
But unfortunately, he was trapped in the material plane and had no way to advance further by killing to plunder souls and spread fear and death.
In fact, this demon was summoned and imprisoned here thousands of years ago, before Cyre became independent.
The complex and winding canals in the city of Eltaber were originally designed to seal the magic circle he created.
But an earthquake a year ago damaged part of the canal, and the seal became weaker over time, so this guy was about to escape.
As luck would have it, the seven Lords of the Symbols discovered the secret deep in the sewers in the center of the canal, and planned to build a secret base there to avoid Sel's ubiquitous magical detection.
When the two sides met, there was no more nonsense and a fierce fight broke out immediately.
Although the demon who almost became a secondary abyss lord was very powerful, the weak seal still suppressed most of his power. As expected, he was imprisoned again and became a "tool" that could be used.
Right now, the demon was staring with his pale yellow eyes, carefully observing this group of legendary undead spellcasters, trying to figure out their identities and intentions.
He knew very well that even without the suppression of the seal, he would not be able to fight against this group of equally dangerous and evil enemies in a head-on battle.
After all, one of the effects of the summoning creature card [Entanglement Symbol] is that when all members are active in the same world, they can ignore distance and all interference and instantly teleport to each other when needed.
At the same time, when the seven Lords of the Symbols gather together, their effective spellcasting level will receive a +3 bonus, and the power of various spells and magic rituals will increase by 20%.
If a Symbol Master successfully controls an area, his spellcasting level will be increased by one level from the current state, and will continue to increase as the controlled area expands.
This means that, taking Ragon as an example, his original total arcane spellcasting level was LV33, and after adding three levels it became LV36, which is the same as Shane VII's spellcasting level.
This is almost one of the ceilings of spellcasting level in the entire continent of Faerun.
Kartak Spierse and Plamon "Frostmark" Rakesk both exceeded LV30 after adding the additional three levels.
Under the suppression of many such legendary wizards, even if the genuine Lord of the Abyss was summoned, he would not be able to gain any advantage.
Therefore, the devil can only hope that these undead creatures are not of one mind, but have their own calculations against each other.
In this way, he can create conflicts through lies, deception and incitement, and then escape when the other side starts fighting.
However, the Lords of the Symbols obviously did not care about the demons' spying and were discussing their next plan among themselves.
The leader, Lagong, said bluntly: "According to the plan of the great master, we need to lurk inside the red robe wizard and gain a certain amount of power.
On the one hand, he investigated the information about the national treasure of Cyre; on the other hand, he recruited more talented wizards and warlocks to serve his master.
In short, before Sazastan starts to provoke a civil war in Ser, we must have enough strength to deal with possible accidents.
Remember, no one except me can reveal their identity. When the situation is critical, you can choose to commit suicide to cover up everything. "
"Don't worry about that, we all know what to do.
There is also the governor of Eltaber Province and Kalaya's biological mother, Dimidra Fres, who seems to be a good development candidate.
I can feel her strong ambition and desire for power hidden behind the false mask.
As long as we can provide this guy with some necessary help, she will become a good chess piece."
Rain stated her goal directly.
经过一番细致的观察和试探，她基本可以确定迪蜜德拉虽然表面上向变化系首席德瑞克斯·莱姆效忠，但实际上却有着自己的如意算盘。
这家伙通过与了月之海沿岸的穆尔玛斯特城最高统治者——“至高之刃”塞法里尔乌姆多尔焚的联姻，扩大了塞尔在当地的租界范围。
她想要利用该城市作为筹码与散提尔堡进行深入合作，增强塞尔在该区域范围内的影响力，进而跟南方临近的普来亚铎行省总督争夺对外贸易的份额。
尤其是在塞尔主动向西海岸帝国投向并承诺不再组建海军，同时割让了位置极其重要的阿劳尔行省之后，就属迪蜜德拉上蹿下跳闹的最欢。
很显然，这位野心勃勃的女人并不甘心止步于总督，而是想要打破红袍法师内部一直以来的惯例，更进一步成为掌握最高权力的首席。
这也就意味着身为幻术系专精的她，必然要跟现任的幻术系首席产生剧烈矛盾。
正所谓牵一发而动全身。
以红袍法师现如今内部错综复杂的关系，不管届时变化系首席德瑞克斯·莱姆作何选择，都必然会引发一系列的混乱。
挑起纷争在趁乱夺取自己想要的东西，正是纠缠符记做擅长的事情。
看到最年轻的符记之主蕾茵如此能干，拉贡顿时满意的点了点头：“可以。
既然你已经找到了合适的目标，那就围绕其展开一系列的行动吧。
艾尔塔柏行省是塞尔最重要政治、经济和文化中心。
如果能拿下这里，我们就能以此为中心不断向南北两个方向进行渗透。
就算内战彻底爆发也可以将其作为一个筹码用来平衡局势。
如果萨扎斯坦一方占据了优势，那么我们就去帮其他首席；
反过来要是其他首席占据优势，我们就让该行省加入萨扎斯坦一方。
唯有双方保持均势一直持续不停地打下去，主人才能从中获取到足够的好处。”
“明白。我保证，一旦塞尔内战全面开启的时候没有几十年绝不会轻易结束，这个国家将在战争中变成人间炼狱。”
在说这番话的时候，蕾茵的眼睛里闪烁着骇人的幽光，配合她提夫林的外表，简直就是从深渊中爬出来的恶魔。
龙巫妖萨普赫拉克塔瞅了一眼位于束缚法阵中央的恶魔，饶有兴致的问：“这家伙怎么处理？”
“别急，我的朋友。它可是一件非常棒的工具，能够帮我们把原本就复杂无比的局势变得更加混乱。”
拉贡眼眶里的两点寒光暴涨，明显是早就规划好了一切。
“巫妖，你想要利用我？”恶魔眯起眼睛开口试探道。
“不，不是利用，而是达成一个我们都能接受的交易。
我想你被囚禁了那么久，肯定无比渴望能够重获自由，不是吗？ 现在我们可以放你自由，但在此之前你必须帮我们杀几个人。”
拉贡不慌不忙的开出了条件。
听到这句话，恶魔瞬间咧开嘴露出了一口锋利的尖牙：“哈哈哈哈！ 阴谋、背叛、杀戮、死亡……
你们的阴险与邪恶还真是令我大开眼界。
不过考虑到这件事情所能带来的愉悦体验，我似乎并没有拒绝的理由。
但还要加上一条，我要那些被杀死人类的灵魂。”
“成交！只要你能捕捉到，他们的灵魂自然可以全部归你所有。”
拉贡连想都没想便答应下来。
原因很简单。
他压根没打算履行承诺放走这只恶魔。
刚好相反！
这位纠缠符记的最高领导人早就算计好了，只要恶魔完成任务，他就立刻通知自己的主人将其捕获，并制作成相应的召唤生物卡牌。
到时候不管对方知道多少秘密都绝对不可能泄露出去。
就这样，一个极度邪恶的不死生物秘密结社跟另外一名同样极度邪恶的恶魔达成了一项交易。
更有趣的是，双方各怀鬼胎谁也没有真正打算老老实实按照条款执行。
没办法，在这个宇宙像魔鬼那样会认真按照契约办事的生物终究是少数。
尤其像恶魔这种混乱阵营的家伙，只要有机会就会尝试着毁约。
所以在对待恶魔的时候最好的办法是直接以绝对的武力镇压，将其当做奴隶一样压榨、使唤、折磨、虐待。
越是这样，恶魔反而越敬畏你，越不敢轻易表现出反抗的一面。
……
与此同时，远在月之海沿岸唯一一座没有受到班恩教会和散提尔堡影响、控制的大型城市，同时也是该地区最开放的港口——森提亚城墙外面。
月之海暴君傅佐尔·彻伯瑞眼下正亲率大军对这座垂涎已久的城市发起全面进攻。
数以万计的兽人、豺狼人、食人魔、巨魔、巨人、地精、野蛮人在人类军官的指挥下，如同潮水般冲击着对方摇摇欲坠的防线。
由于森提亚城原本缺乏强大的军事力量，因此在正面碰撞中节节败退，根本不是散提尔堡的对手。
如果不是有好几位强大的法师坐镇，时不时扔出大范围杀伤和控制类的法术，这会儿估计早就崩溃了。
实际上，森提亚城之所以能在群狼环绕之下的月之海站稳脚跟，全靠“快手”、“寇都里斯”、“马马拉绅”、“拜内尔”和“凯斯普拉丹”几个古老家族缔结了紧密的联盟。
而在这些家族身后无一例外都有强大的法师群体支持。
其中最具代表性的就是拥有LV23施法等级的佛尔金·独眼，LV20的弗拉姆丁纳斯·火指·苏尔多姆，LV17的利利塔·影水，以及绰号为“散射斗篷”的LV18神秘法师。
散提尔堡以前之所以不敢对森提亚城动手，就是因为害怕这些传奇法师和大法师们联手可能带来的毁灭性杀伤。
要知道一名法师的施法等级一旦超过LV15，就意味着他能凭借一人之力干掉一整支军队。
即便当初曼松和傅佐尔·彻伯瑞，也没有把握在顶尖战力的对抗中赢得百分之百的胜利。
但是现在，随着自身实力的提高，以及在横扫巨龙海岸到博德之门广袤土地搜刮来的财富、资源和庞大兵力的支撑下，傅佐尔·彻伯瑞终于发动了这场自己期盼已久的征服战争。
他的目标非常简单，就是靠着压倒性的数量优势去耗光对方的法术，然后再亲率领教会中的精锐发起最后的总攻，一举拿下月之海最后一个不肯臣服于暴政之神班恩的大型城邦。
毕竟再过一段时间，傅佐尔·彻伯瑞就要把手中的神器——暴君节杖还给左思，因此这些怪物炮灰的忠诚根本维持不了多久。
与其到时候闹出叛乱、大规模逃亡的麻烦，还不如现在利用一场战争将其消耗掉。
等战争结束尸体还能被散提尔堡的法师和班恩教会的牧师们用死灵魔法拉起来反复利用。
成功了可以拿下这座窥探已久的城市，失败了也能大幅度消耗对方的实力。
何乐而不为呢？
不得不说，这位月之海暴君着实是打的一手好算盘。
眼下他正站在己方军营的投石车阵地上，看着由左思友情提供的巨型抛石器将上百公斤重的石块利用超长的力臂扔向半空中，再借助重力加速度划过一道优美的弧线，狠狠砸在对方城墙上撕开一个又一个口子，把那些弓箭手瞬间挤压成血肉模糊的碎尸。
不用问也知道，这种恐怖的超级重型抛石器对于敌军士气的打击有多么恐怖。
往往一块石头扔下去，周围二三十米范围内的卫兵都会瞬间陷入恐惧、慌乱和崩溃的情绪中。
即便是碎裂飞溅的小石子，都能瞬间对附近其他人产生可怕的溅射伤害。
好几名站在高处施法的法师就是因为没有注意到这些飞溅的小石子，结果来不及加持足够的防护魔法，身体或是大脑瞬间被击穿，当场死亡。
尽管森提亚城方面也察觉到了重型抛石器所带来的巨大威胁，试图用城墙上架设的抛石器和弩炮进行反击。
可以遗憾的是，他们的工程器械显然太落后了，根本连重型投石器阵地的边都够不到。
至于在高阶法师的帮助下开启传送门发动突袭将其烧掉，更是连想都不要想。
因为散提尔堡最核心、最精锐的力量就布置在这里等着对方过来。
欣赏着远处城墙上卫兵手忙脚乱的样子，傅佐尔·彻伯瑞不由得微微翘起嘴角，用略带玩味的语气评价道：“这些大家伙在攻城战中还真是不得了的利器呢。多亏了索斯，不然想要拿下森提亚城还真不是件容易的事情。”
一旁的席曼蒙深以为然的点了点头：“是啊。
Apart from being inconvenient to transport and assemble, the heavy catapult is perfect in terms of range and lethality.
However, compared to the combination of artillery, airships and dragon knights used by Soth himself, this thing is nothing but discarded garbage.
I believe you must have heard about what happened in the Southern Falling Star Sea recently, right? Only three gunboats carrying dragon knights easily suppressed such a huge sea area.
This incredible phenomenon could only be achieved in the age of Netheril's floating cities."
If I'm not mistaken, those cannons should have been provided by Lantan Island and the Church of Gunde, the God of Craftsmen.
What we should really pay attention to are the epoch-making means of transportation such as airships, and the dragons that are bred somehow and can obey the orders and commands of their riders.
Can you find a way to get the core secrets of these two things?"
"If you want me to die, just tell me directly. There's no need to give me a suicide mission like this."
Ximanmeng rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Not to mention that he had secretly defected to the other side a long time ago, just stealing core secrets could mean death.
Because after stealing the core technology, Zhentil Castle will definitely copy it and build an aerial gunboat and dragon knight army of its own.
By then, anyone who is not blind will be able to see it, and then he will come to settle the score with me.
"Well, since that doesn't work, forget it.
Anyway, there is no respectable force in the area around the Moon Sea that can use such a powerful weapon.
After taking over the city of Centia, the entire Moon Sea will be bathed in the glory of Bane, the great god of tyranny.
The next thing to do is to infiltrate south into Cormanthor and the valley.
If I remember correctly, you seem to be having a lot of fun with the Harpers in the North recently?
Can you tell me about the situation over there?"
Seeing that he had failed to fool the other party, Fu Zol Chebery immediately put on an indifferent attitude and changed the subject.
He had not originally expected that a smart man like Ximanmeng would be easily fooled, but instead he tried it out based on the principle of catching rabbits by robbing straw. If he succeeded, that would be the best, but there was no need to feel disappointed if he was seen through.
"What do you want to know? You should know that in the North today, it is not only our Zhentarim that is taking action. There are also two other forces that obey Soth's orders.
One of them is controlled by Kurremos, who is waiting in the dark for an opportunity to act, constantly instigating those crazy people in the Dragon Cult and some local evil forces to attack the Harpist Alliance.
Under his manipulation, Scar Klaus has had at least two fierce battles with the Harpers' top brass, and the situation is still escalating.
The other group was controlled by Hared III, who gathered a large number of adventurers with Mirabar as the center.
Because this guy had worked as a scribe in Shadowdale for a long time, he was very familiar with the plans and behavior patterns of the Harper Alliance.
By means of inducement, he succeeded in making the Harpist stand against the townspeople and adventurers. The two sides continued to kill each other, and the hatred was spreading to all directions.
Most importantly, a large number of civilians who previously supported the Harpers are now beginning to oppose them because of their own interests.
Even if Elminster and Storm Silverhand were in charge personally, it would be of no avail.
It was obvious that the most powerful enemy of the Zhentarim had fallen into the trap carefully set by Soth.
They are like people who accidentally fall into a swamp. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink.”
Ximanmeng's mouth curled up slightly as he briefly introduced the difficult situation of the Harpists in the North.
If possible, he really wanted to see the expression on Elminster's face after experiencing this series of setbacks, whether he could still remain calm and composed as before.
"You mean... that the Harpers might be driven out of the North?"
Fuzzol Cherbury's eyes sparkled slightly.
Xi Manmeng answered very straightforwardly: "It's not as simple as just being driven out, but we are facing internal division.
Through the huge benefits brought by the trade alliance, Soth successfully changed the thoughts and concepts of the people living in that land and lured out the greed in their hearts.
This means that the Harper Alliance's philosophy of maintaining balance between all things has lost its market share.
They are now forced to make a choice.
Either side with the towns and villages representing civilization, or side with the elves, druids, and rangers representing the wilderness.
And as time goes by, this rift will become bigger and bigger until the conflict within the organization breaks out completely.
I think this may be the biggest difference between you and Soth, and also the reason why Bane prefers him.
What he did was never to simply conquer an area by force, but to subtly change the cognition, values and ways of thinking of countless people.
According to the rules of faith, when countless mortals begin to believe in something, then this thing will form a projection in the outer plane, and eventually make the corresponding god's power become stronger and stronger.
Believe me, there is no one else in the entire continent of Faerun who can do this except Soth.
That's why he dared to say that it was the gods who needed me, not me who needed the gods.
Do you think he built the West Coast empire for so-called power? No, what he is doing is permanently changing and even reshaping the world.
This change and reshaping will bring unparalleled power, a power that all gods desire to obtain."
"Are you suggesting that I learn from him?" Fu Zol Chebery asked back with a frown.
"why not?"
Ximanmeng smiled and shrugged.
"You are all the chosen ones of the God of Tyranny, and you all agree that only by concentrating power can we govern better.
Now that Soth has proven the superiority of his theory, you can copy it and establish an alliance around the Moon Sea with Zhentil Castle as its center.
Then slowly use the power of the Church of Bane to integrate it into an empire.
There is no shame in learning from people who are better than you.
On the contrary, this is the only way to quickly catch up with the opponent at a very low cost.
I have a feeling that with the rapid rise of the West Coast Empire, the era of loose city-states on the continent of Faerun will come to an end.
An unprecedented era of empire will soon arrive.
Whoever can realize this first will gain the first-mover advantage in future competition.”
"Very good advice, I will take it seriously."
Fuzor Chebery said this with a serious face, and then led the elite troops and the mage corps to launch the final general attack.
Because he had seen that under round after round of fierce bombardment from heavy catapults, the walls and gates of Centia finally collapsed under the heavy load.
Although those high-level wizards tried their best to stop the monster army from rushing in, it was obviously too late.
In addition, top combat forces such as the Moon Sea Tyrant and Manshoon's last clone all joined the battle, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Any mages with a bit of common sense cast teleportation magic and chose to evacuate without hesitation.
When all the great wizards disappeared, the ordinary soldiers and officers immediately lost their will to resist and knelt on the ground with their hands raised in surrender.
It didn't take long for the army of Zhentil Keep to capture the entire city.
The next thing to do is to purge the entire ruling class and expel or even destroy those churches that are hostile to the God of Tyranny.
Since he had done this more than once before, Fuzol Cherbury was very familiar with the process and directly uprooted several powerful families.
All male members of the direct lineage were killed, and the rest were reduced to slaves and sold to merchants, and their property was confiscated for military expenses.
After admiring with interest the wonderful scene of the river of blood on the execution ground, Ximanmeng, who did not participate in any battle throughout the whole process, immediately cast a teleportation magic and returned to a cave in the mountains of the north.
As soon as he was teleported here, he heard hysterical shouting and wails of pain and despair coming from the depths.
Driven by curiosity, the head of the Zhentarim's dark intelligence network quickly passed through several intricate tunnels.
As a result, they found the "filial son" Kurremos riding on a captured female silver dragon in the huge cave at the innermost part. He was committing violent acts crazily while performing some evil magic rituals with several other senior members of the Dragon Cult.
Next to the silver dragon, one can clearly see more than thirty dragon eggs that exude an infernal aura and have silver and gold scales on their surface.
"Damn you, Kurremos! I curse you with my soul! You, a mad maniac, will sooner or later pay the price for your evil and cruelty!"
The silver dragon was obviously going crazy from being forced to mate, lay eggs, mate and lay eggs day and night. It lay on the ground dying without even the slightest strength to resist.
She could clearly feel that her vitality and magical power were constantly dissipating during the process of mating and laying eggs.
It won't be long before death is inevitable.
What's more terrifying is that with so many members of the Dragon Cult present, she might not even die in peace and be transformed into a terrifying dracolich.
This kind of ending is absolutely unacceptable to a silver dragon that advocates kindness.
"Curse me?
Pay the price?
Ha ha ha ha!
You are simply wishful thinking!
If you want to blame someone, blame your good sister, Castellanfilian. Why did she bother to meddle in my business and provoke me?
And you are the first step in my revenge against her.
Just watch, I will capture all her friends and relatives one by one, torture and kill them, and then transform them into dragon liches and let you kill each other.
No one can stop me from carrying out my revenge.”
Kurremos roared, opened his mouth and bit the silver dragon's head, pinning it to the ground in an extremely humiliating posture, and quickly conceived under the effect of magic.
When the latter was almost unconscious, he stood up and let the ripened dragon eggs roll out of the latter's body one by one.
When the Dragon Worship Cult members nearby saw this, they immediately stepped forward, picked up the dragon egg and moved it to an open space not far away.
As the organization that has probably conducted the most thorough research on the physiological structure of dragons in the entire continent of Faerun, their accumulation of knowledge and experience in this area is definitely ranked first.
After finishing all this, the masked guy in the lead immediately carefully checked Silver Dragon's body, then walked up to the "filial son" and reported in a low voice: "Great Kurremos, your captive should be unable to hold on any longer.
Not only did the vitality and magical energy disappear in large quantities, but the ovaries that could be used to produce dragon eggs also completely rotted under the influence of magic and could no longer be used.
I suggest that we stop here with our plan to create dragon eggs.
While she is still alive, you can use the magic of controlling the soul in conjunction with our ritual to try to transform her into a dracolich.
If the experiment is successful, we can use this method to force more good-aligned metal dragons to become our allies in the future."
"Okay, you can start preparing the things needed for the ceremony right away."
Kurremos nodded and agreed without hesitation.
The Dragon Worshipping Cult members who received permission were immediately overjoyed, and without saying a word, they drew magic circles, forged life boxes, and prepared potions in the center of the cave.
After watching the "dragon movie" for a long time, Ximanmeng walked straight up to it, stared at the unconscious silver dragon, who was only one step away from death, with a slightly pitying look, and asked calmly: "Could she be a helper summoned by the Harper Alliance?"
A cruel smile appeared on Kuerremos's face and he nodded slightly: "You guessed right.
The Harpers' top brass are planning an operation to eliminate Scarface Klaus and have summoned a gold dragon and a silver dragon as allies.
I ambushed them on the route they had to take.
Among them, the Golden Dragon was killed by me in the battle, and his corpse was made into an undead zombie.
Since the silver dragon is Castellanferian's sister, I did not kill her immediately, but captured her and brought her back."
"You want to torture your enemy in this way and make her feel a pain worse than death?"
Ximamon raised his head and stared at the Purgatory Brass Dragon's eyes, which had been corroded and turned black by the power of hell.
"That's right! Isn't Castellanfillion's ideal to advocate kindness and aspire to become a righteous paladin?
Then I will destroy her ideals and beliefs, let her witness with her own eyes the people close to her die one after another and turn into evil undead spirits, and fall into depravity in extreme anger and pain.
I want to stain her claws with the blood of her family and friends' offspring, and then watch her mental breakdown when she learns the truth.
To torture a person is not only to torture his body, but also his spirit.
This is the most important lesson I have learned from following my master.
Of course, before that we have to get rid of the Harpers' top brass first, leaving them completely leaderless and in disarray."
It was not difficult to judge from the unforgettable tone that Kurremos obviously hated the silver dragon Castellanferian who had caused his immediate death.
After all, that was the biggest stain in his life. He felt ashamed and embarrassed whenever he thought about it and he desperately wanted to erase this dark history.
The only way to erase this dark history is to capture the former enemy and torture him in the most cruel way.
Ximanmeng nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to the busy members of the Dragon Worship Cult, and continued to ask with a smile: "What about these guys? How do you plan to deal with them?"
Kuerremos responded meaningfully: “Is there any need to ask this?
Of course, after using them up, kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
I will not allow someone who knows so many of my secrets to continue living in this world.
What's more, the Dragon Cult is just a pawn in our plan.
Isn't it natural to discard it after using it?"
"Haha, I feel relieved to hear you say that.
Since they were going to launch an attack on the Harpers' top brass, they first needed to remove the most difficult voters.
I will deliberately spread some false information to confuse the public.
In addition, I suggest you say hello to Soth in advance, and it would be best if you could borrow a few strong helpers to ensure that you will not be in a panic when an accident occurs."
Ximanmeng said everything he could think of in one breath.
After all, he had seen how terrifying Elminster and Storm Silverhand, the two chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic, were when they were giving it their all.
If possible, he hoped that he would never have a direct conflict with the other party.
The ideal situation would be that Elminster and Storm Silverhand were deceived by the false news, leaving only the rest who are not the chosen ones.
In this way, he could wait for the Harpists to fight Scar Klaus until both sides were defeated and then take advantage of the situation.
Once the top leaders are wiped out, it will be wishful thinking for the remaining two Magic Goddess elects to reintegrate the disorganized and internally conflicted organization.
By then, the entire power of the Harper Alliance in the North will collapse.
The Zhentarim will no longer have any enemies on this land and can develop however they want as long as they do not cross the red line drawn by Zuo Si.
"Don't worry. For such an important operation, I will naturally inform the master. It just so happens that I am also planning to deliver these dragon eggs to the Mage Tower."
As he spoke, Kulremos immediately cast a spell to open a portal, and disappeared with all the dragon eggs...
