After successfully rescuing the underage elf girl Guilaser Liaton, Zuo Si now had a qualified guide.
You have to know that Sodanisla is a city built on a huge tree of life.
Therefore, the complexity of the terrain is more troublesome than those cities that have not been designed and planned, where buildings of various sizes are piled together randomly and there are so many narrow alleys that they are like a maze.
In particular, some vines and branches are still alive, and only the forest elves living here can drive them to connect the roads together.
In addition, many houses are hidden among tree trunks, leaves and flowers, and if you don’t look carefully, you may overlook them.
Of course, it is precisely with these advantages that the elves in the city can deal with and resist these invaders who are much stronger than themselves.
Some elven priests and wizards can even manipulate animated plants to form a wall, or cut off the connection between canopy platforms, while using maze locks to prohibit all flight and teleportation capabilities from taking effect in the area, thereby physically isolating themselves from the enemy.
In short, the actual situation in Sodanisilla was much better than the left imagined. Most of the casualties were caused by the surprise attack in the first round.
After these forest elves reacted, the two sides soon started fighting back and forth.
Although the elves were generally the weaker party and were being suppressed, they were not completely powerless to fight back. Several tactical ambushes caused considerable damage to these evil creatures from other worlds.
In particular, the defense system built around the huge temple was impregnable. Demons, golems, beasts and yugoloths organized several fierce attacks, but all ended in failure.
The result was that the two sides confronted each other across a large area of airspace without any roads, with the tree canopy near the north of the city of Sodanisla as the boundary.
The elven warriors, mages, and priests carefully protected the approximately 1,500 civilians who held their ground, while those in the occupied areas of the southern canopy could only fend for themselves.
Most of the prisoners captured by the demons for killing and sacrifice were from the latter.
If there is no interference from outside forces, the elves in the occupied areas will most likely be captured one by one and slaughtered in the next few days, and there will be absolutely no survivors.
After all, high-level demons are always under the effect of true seeing, and neither invisibility magic nor secret doors and passages can deceive their eyes.
But Zuo Si's arrival successfully rescued about six or seven hundred elven women and children hiding in the area.
As for men, most of them voluntarily sacrificed their lives to protect their wives and children.
Including the 1,500 people gathered in the temple, nearly 2,300 civilians eventually escaped.
Don't underestimate this number.
It accounts for one-third of the total population of Sodani.
Yes, you read that right.
The capital of this elven kingdom has only about seven thousand people.
Even including the large and small villages scattered in the Wildas Forest, the total population does not exceed 50,000.
This is almost the largest elven country and ethnic gathering place in the continent of Faerun, except for the Isle of Evermeet.
This shows how serious the impact of the several crown wars was.
You should know that in the most famous "Theater of God" battle at the end of the Third Crown War, 70,000 elven soldiers and 100,000 orc legions controlled by the Arivanda Empire died in just one battle between the two sides.
At that time, the elves could gather an invincible army with a total number of more than 100,000 people, including a large number of mages and priests.
But now, the Elf Kingdom of Sodanisla has only a standing army of one thousand people.
Among them, 600 people were sent out to resist the dark elves pouring out of the Underdark, and there were only about 400 people in the city.
Half of these four hundred men died in the first round of invasion by Erinikas.
There are less than one hundred and forty people stationed in the temple at present, and the rest are on high alert at the entrances to the Queen's bedroom and the interior of the Tree of Life.
Watching the groups of refugees passing through the portal to a safe place, the exhausted elf captain, who had been holding on here for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Zuo Si who was maintaining the portal.
"Thank you very much! Without your help, I'm afraid all the civilians in Sodanisil would have died in this disaster."
"You're welcome. After all, from now on they are my subjects, and I have the obligation to protect them and give them a better life." Zuo Si responded with a smile.
It can be seen that he is in a very good mood at the moment.
Not only because they had obtained more than 2,000 high-quality and long-lived people who possessed a large number of professional skills and knowledge for free, but they also swept the wizard tower that was captured by the Yug'groth demons, and obtained a lot of magical knowledge unique to the elves, secrets from ancient times, and rumors of an interesting artifact.
The name of this artifact is [Ring of Mithreon].
Legend has it that the elven god of puzzles, Mythrin Serret, had his own power declining because he helped the elves weave a large number of puzzles, and finally fell to the level of a demigod.
In order to restore his former glory, he created this artifact to attract more elves to believe in him.
Unfortunately, at the most critical moment of creating the artifact, the beast god Mara, with the help of the thieves god Mask and the storm god Talos, suddenly launched an attack and successfully defeated and sealed the only incarnation of Mythrin Serret in Toril.
Afterwards, this artifact disappeared from everyone's sight, and even there were few legends about it.
According to the elves' records, although this ring is only a semi-finished product, it can double the duration of all protective magic, obtain all the unique abilities of the elven priests of the God of Mystery, increase the wearer's vitality to a certain extent, and cast an additional wizard's protective magic or priest's barrier-like spell every day.
Last but not least, it is immune to all maze effects and can create or destroy a maze every year.
According to the recorder's speculation, this artifact ring is likely hidden in the Sharptooth Forest southeast of Baldur's Gate.
Because that was where the incarnation of Mythrine Serret was last seen.
If he could get this ring, Zuo Si would be able to use the technology and divine power used on it to figure out the real mystery behind the elf maze.
Is the so-called puzzle lock a kind of magic? Or is it a unique ability of this god? Or is it a combination of the two that makes the puzzle lock have such a strong protective power?
Why must the high wizard in charge of making the maze have to sacrifice his life?
Although Zuo Si already had a lot of information about the maze lock, he still didn't dare to try it easily.
After all, those complicated rituals are completely different from the mainstream magic theories today, and there is no explanation or description. The whole text tells you to just follow them.
The elf captain stared at the scene of his compatriots being resettled on the other side of the portal with a complicated expression, and sighed with a wry smile: "Although the kingdom may be destroyed after this disaster, it is a good thing as long as the people can survive. At least our race and culture can continue."
"What are your plans next?"
Zuo Si glanced at the warriors, mages, and priests who had not left and asked in an uncertain tone.
"Of course we will fight to the death. No matter how powerful the Exile is, we cannot sit idly by and watch him desecrate the Tree of Life."
When saying this, the elf captain's tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation or wavering.
This is also one of the biggest differences between elves and humans.
They know where their souls will go after they die, so they are relatively less afraid of death.
Especially when they are over three or four hundred years old and have enough experience and accumulation of knowledge, they tend to take life and death lightly, and instead pay more attention to things like responsibility, honor, and belief.
"In that case, I wish you all the best in the end. Goodbye, I hope we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
Needless to say, Zuo Si had already sentenced all these elves to death in his heart.
Because no one in the world knows better than him how powerful Erinikas is now.
It doesn't take much, just need to absorb one third of the energy of the huge tree of life under his feet, and this madman will become a true quasi-god.
If it reaches half or more, it can transform into a demigod with star-blasting power in a matter of minutes.
This has completely surpassed the limits of what mortals can understand, and it cannot be defeated by numbers, willpower, magic or the like.
Unless there are powerful artifacts or elven gods intervene, the entire army may be wiped out in one encounter.
But the elf captain and his men had obviously made up their minds. They simply ate some food sent from the other side of the portal, and then lay on the ground to recuperate, intending to charge towards the queen's bedroom after their strength and energy were restored.
Just as Zuo Si was about to turn around and leave to go to the other side of Sodanisla to see what Erinikas was doing, he suddenly felt a small hand grabbing the corner of his clothes.
Looking down, it turned out to be Guilaser Liaton.
The elf girl did not go through the portal to a safe place with the other refugees, but followed closely behind them, holding the powerful Moon Blade inherited from her family tightly in her arms.
Maybe it’s the relationship of being suddenly rescued when you are most helpless and desperate;
It is also possible that after witnessing the tragic deaths of parents and family members, they have developed strong negative emotions such as loneliness, helplessness, fear, etc., and subconsciously want to find a strong support.
In short, when she looked at Zuo Si, her eyes clearly revealed deep admiration and attachment.
"Be good, go to the safe place on the other side of the portal first. I have some things to take care of, and I will find you later."
Zuo Si reached out and touched the girl's long copper-red hair to comfort her.
"Can't I come with you?"
Guilaser Liaton raised his head and stared with his big watery eyes.
"No, that's too dangerous for you."
Zuo Si shook his head without hesitation, then forcibly pushed the elf girl in front of an older elf woman, closed the portal and headed straight for the palace and the core entrance to the Tree of Life.
Since his chosen ability included flying in the air, it was easy for him to cross the disconnected tree canopies and successfully reach the most important place in Sodanisla.
As soon as he landed, Erinikas, who was trying to break the last defense, noticed something was wrong. He immediately stopped what he was doing and asked with a wary look on his face, "Why are you here?"
"Relax, don't be so nervous. I am only here at the invitation of the Elf Queen to rescue those elven civilians who pose no threat."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders with a harmless look.
"Rescue the civilians?!"
There was a hint of doubt in Erinikas' eyes, and he obviously didn't quite understand the other party's motive.
Zuo Si smiled and explained, “I have reached an agreement with Ali Star, and these refugees will be subjects of the empire from now on.
In other words, no matter what the final outcome is, the Elf Kingdom in the Wildas Forest will become history.
All elves will live under the rule of the Empire from now on.
Oh, by the way, when rescuing those civilians, I cleaned up some of the summoned alien creatures. I believe you don’t mind, right? "
"You came all this way just to tell me this?"
Erinikas frowned to express his dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, such boring political games and the "trivial matter" of the demise of an elven kingdom were not worth his attention at all.
As for the summoned demons, beastmen, and yugoloths, they were simply cannon fodder used to disrupt the situation. It didn't matter how many of them died.
After completing the raid, these guys had lost their usefulness.
"Of course not. In fact, I just wanted to stop by and see what method you plan to use to absorb the energy from this huge tree of life."
As he spoke, Zuo Si turned his gaze towards the giant insects that were created through magic and divine power.
These beetle-like creatures are each four or five meters long and have a plump oval shape.
There is also a thick straw on the mouth, which can be inserted deeply into the branches to absorb energy.
Needless to say, these insects are the final secret weapon that Erinikas prepared for his deification.
As long as he enters the core of the Tree of Life, he can control these insects to take root at the most critical nodes and continuously extract energy to strengthen themselves, until the quantitative change leads to qualitative change and realizes the leap from mortal to god.
"Now that you've seen it, can you go?"
Erinikas obviously did not welcome Zuo Si to watch from the sidelines.
After all, with such an extremely dangerous guy around him, he didn't dare to maintain concentration on casting spells for a long time, let alone quickly break the last line of defense of the Tree of Life.
You should know that the Elf Queen Alistar is not a powerless vase, but an absolute legendary priest.
Moreover, she is one of the Chosen Ones, and is closely connected to the Tree of Life, making her an absolutely dangerous enemy.
So Erinikas was mentally prepared to break through the last defense and fight with his former lover.
He didn't want to have to distract himself to guard against Zuo Si at this time.
"As you wish, I'll leave right away.
But you'd better move faster.
In two or three days at most, the sons of Bhaal will arrive.
I can tell you very clearly that among them there are people who are very close to the level of quasi-gods.
If we cannot extract enough energy from the Tree of Life by then, you should understand the consequences without me having to explain."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si's figure disappeared instantly, leaving Erinikas standing there alone with a grim face.
As a high-level elven wizard who has studied gods for many years, it is impossible for him not to know what quasi-god means.
Although many scholars, wizards, and creatures from other planes have conducted research on gods and tried to figure out which gods are more powerful and which are relatively weaker, and whether the strength of gods is directly related to the number and influence of their believers, many related books have been published for this purpose, and the content and descriptions can be said to be bizarre.
But there is one standard that most researchers agree on.
That is, only from being a demigod can one be considered a truly complete god.
The quasi-gods before this should be at a stage between gods and mortals.
Rather than being gods, they are closer to a unique kind of god-like power.
But if you think that the quasi-god is a weakling, you are totally wrong.
Many feats that sound incredible to outsiders, such as charging directly into the Abyss and severely injuring the demon prince Demogorgon, are likely to have the participation of quasi-gods.
Otherwise, how could a group of mortal adventurers alone defeat the strongest demon lord and his demon army, whom even the spider goddess Rose dared not confront head-on, on the opponent's home turf?
Moreover, many gods who have come from the mortal stage have actually wandered in the outer planes during the quasi-god period, just to deeply understand the operating rules of this universe and comprehend the relationship between mortals, gods and faith.
The most typical example in Faerun is the journey to deification of Azuth, the god of mages.
Even now, there are still many legends circulating in Hell and the Abyss about him wandering around when he was a quasi-god.
It was precisely because of his quasi-god strength that Azuth was able to successfully defeat and seal the god of prophecy, Savras.
Therefore, for Erinikas, who has not yet been successfully deified, a quasi-god or one close to a quasi-god is already a dangerous enough enemy.
Realizing that the crisis was imminent, he dared not waste even a moment of time and immediately began to concentrate on casting a spell in order to break the seal of the entrance as soon as possible.
Similarly, the Elf Queen Elise inside the Tree of Life was also doing her best to maintain and reinforce the defenses to prevent Erinikas from coming in.
If nothing unexpected happens, this pair of former lovers will need to compete for at least twenty to thirty hours before the winner can be determined.
…
At the same time, in the dark area on the other side.
Aberdare and his group had just escaped from the completely collapsed city of Uster-Nasa, and were now sitting in a relatively safe open space to rest.
Especially Sancho, who had revealed his trump card, had now closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
With him was Ben the Aberdare.
The Son of Bhaal, the most powerful of the two teams, looks very scary at the moment.
Among them, Aberdair, who was infused with too much divine power and divinity by Baal, needless to say, had blood vessels all over his face and neck bulging, emitting a creepy red light, and he kept making incomprehensible mumblings from his throat as if he was having a nightmare.
Sancho's situation was slightly better. He just had a strange glow emanating from his body, and was floating in the air.
In contrast, Imoen's hands were emitting a bone-chilling chill uncontrollably, and both of them had somehow turned into sharp blue claws.
Jaheira asked in an uncertain tone.
Aidalong narrowed his eyes and observed for a few seconds, then quickly responded, “It’s okay.
The three sons of God had their divine power and divinity surged because of the previous killings.
They are currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
When I wake up again, I should gain unimaginable power.
This is a good thing for the upcoming decisive battle.”
"Having accepted Baal's power and divinity to such a great extent, will Aberdair eventually become a vessel for his father's resurrection like Bane's Son of God?"
There was a strong sense of tension and anxiety in Jaheira's voice.
Due to the early resurrection of the God of Tyranny, she has realized what the Son of God means to God, so she is afraid that one day she will wake up and find that Gorion's adopted son has been replaced by Baal, the God of Murder.
Aidalong shook his head solemnly: "Sorry, I'm not sure about this.
After all, anything involving gods often cannot be explained according to common sense.
But the problem is that if he can't become stronger, he will definitely not be able to survive this cruel elimination.
So instead of worrying about this, you should think about how to deal with this powerful enemy, Erinikas."
"Alas - this journey is really becoming more and more difficult."
Jaheira sighed slightly, took out a piece of hard dried meat from his backpack and put it in his mouth to chew in order to replenish the physical strength consumed in the battle.
就在队伍陷入沉默的时候,桑乔最先从那种诡异的状态中恢复过来,缓缓降落到地面之上,很快睁开眼睛醒了过来。
维康尼亚见状立刻上前问道:“怎么样,你现在感觉如何?”
“我……我感觉自己前所未有的好。某种无法用语言形容的强大力量,正在我的血管乃至灵魂中流淌,就仿佛一个念头就能塑造和改变周围的一切。”
说着,桑乔抬起手释放了一个光亮法术。
瞬间!
刺眼的白光直接照亮了周围数公里范围内的通道,并让那些躲藏在阴影中习惯了黑暗的生物发出惨叫,疯狂向远处没有被强光照射到角落逃窜。
“神力法术?!”
维康尼亚只感觉面前一片花白,眼球更是传来了强烈的刺痛,内心之中震惊的无以复加。
因为她亲眼见证了一个神之子,是如何在极短时间内从一个优秀的凡人法师成长为现如今这种无限接近于准神的姿态。
尤其是神力的强大程度与之前简直天差地别。
“没错!就是神力法术。我现在终于可以像导师一样,在法术中注入额外的力量直接击穿目标的魔法抗性跟豁免。”
桑乔迅速解除光亮法术让周围的幽暗地域重新恢复伸手不见五指的黑暗。
力量!
强大的力量! 足以主宰自己命运的力量! 在经历了无数次的被抓捕、献祭、死而复生之后,他第一次感觉自己实现了某种程度的超脱。
最重要的是,此刻脑海中那些凭空多出来的知识和深刻哲学理念,使得男孩明白自己距离成为真正的神只差一步之遥。
而且在魔法领域他也成功跨过了那道门槛,成为一名真正的传奇法师。
“所以——你现在是个准神了?”贾希拉盯着桑乔的眼睛试探道。
“不,我距离成为准神还差那么一点点。
确切的说,我还没有获得神性的火花成为纯粹精神和哲学的形态。
当然,这主要是我自己也没想要是否要迈出这一步。”
在说这番话的时候,桑乔脸上浮现出了纠结的表情。
他可不会忘记自己的导师说过,成为神明虽然可以获得强大的力量,但也同样意味着失去自由意志被信仰所束缚。
更何况就算要封神,他也会先在物质世界建立起教会、感召足够数量的信徒,而不是去继承父亲巴尔的那些歪瓜裂枣。
毕竟神明与信徒中间的关系可是相互影响的。
信徒固然要去传播和践行神明的教义,但反过来神也会在信徒的影响下不可避免的做出一些改变。
所以要是突然封神并直接继承巴尔的信徒,搞不好几年之后巴尔就会在自己的体内复活。
桑乔宁可不要成为神明,也绝对不接受自己成为父亲祭品的结局。
“恭喜。你终于不再是一个棋子,而是有资格上桌成为一名棋手了。”
维康尼亚恢复视力之后第一个单手抚胸,向这个年龄还不到自己一个零头的人类男孩恭恭敬敬鞠了一躬。
身为牧师,她知道从此刻起对方已经跟队伍中的其他人截然不同,踏入了另外一个领域。
“就算成为棋手我可能是最弱的一个吧。”桑乔苦笑着自嘲道。
就在维康尼亚还想要开口说点什么的时候,爱蒙和阿伯戴尔几乎同时从昏迷中醒来。
前者睁开眼睛的刹那先是明显愣了一下,紧跟着手足无措的惊呼:“天呐!我……我现在也可以变身成为杀戮者了。”
“你也做噩梦了吗?”
阿伯戴尔从地上爬起来注视着这位童年时代的玩伴兼小妹妹。
爱蒙轻轻点了下头:“是的。我……我梦见了我们的父亲巴尔,还有已经死去的沙洛佛克。他们说我的身体里还有巨大的潜力没有被挖掘出来。”
“该死!看来我们做了同一个噩梦!”
一想到梦境中发生的事情,阿伯戴尔就不由自主打了个哆嗦。
痛苦!
折磨!
杀戮! 死亡!
他根本不晓得该形容自己在梦境中都干了怎样丧心病狂的事情,只知道醒来的时候内心和灵魂就仿佛被某种邪恶的力量侵蚀了一样,脑海中充满按耐不住的饥渴。
眼见三个巴尔之子都已经醒来,艾达隆立刻开口打断道:“好了,我知道你们刚刚可能经历了很可怕的状况。
但问题是现在已经没有太多的时间闲聊。
根据最新的情报,艾瑞尼卡斯已经攻入索丹尼斯拉。
如果你们不赶快动身追上去,等他汲取完生命之树的力量,再想要阻止一切就来不及了。”
“你说得对。我们必须动身返回地表世界,从艾瑞尼卡斯手上夺回被他窃取的力量和命运。”
阿伯戴尔猛地站起身,从内向外散发着骇人的杀意,就连瞳孔都时不时会闪过一抹红色的光芒。
“来,都靠过来,我用群体传送魔法带你们去最近的地表出口。不过千万小心,那边还有很多黑暗精灵正在发起攻击。”
说罢,艾达隆两只手开始做着复杂的施法动作。
等吟唱咒语的声音结束时,一道白光将所有人笼罩,随后集体原地消失。
仅仅一秒钟之后,他们便出现在一处正在交战的复杂坑道内。
黑皮肤的卓尔和浅色皮肤的森林精灵,正在以小队为单位反复拉锯。
每隔几分钟就会有一个精灵倒在血泊之中变成冰冷的尸体。
由于双方都有大量高阶牧师参战,因此双方都有足够的复活神术可以把尸体拉起来。
为了不给对方复活尸体的机会,一旦杀死目标往往会立刻割下头颅带走。
这样一来,普通的五环复活神术就不能将尸体拉起来,只能使用更高级的神术先修复尸体。
而能使用五环以上的神术,不管在那一边都属于凤毛麟角的高层,根本不可能像复活死者那样大规模的普及。
再加上地表精灵和黑暗精灵之间长达万年的种族仇恨,战斗自然是格外的惨烈,根本没有投降和优待俘虏这一说。
不过突然凭空出现的小队还是让交战双方吃了一惊。
但马上,桑乔等人就用实际行动证明了自己是哪一边的。
他们连一秒钟都没犹豫,直接便对卓尔发起了攻击。
虽然都没有变身成为杀戮者,可光靠这趟幽暗地域之旅积累的经验与职业等级的提升,就已经足以碾压大部分普通黑暗精灵战士。
眨眼功夫便有三五支小队被干净利落的斩杀。
森林精灵见状立刻意识到这是友军,纷纷士气大振竭尽所能的对敌人进行切割、包围,试图全歼这些突然从地下冒出进来袭击神殿和村庄的邪恶表亲。
艾达隆只在最开始的时候释放魔法帮了点小忙,紧跟着便施展传送魔法离开这个是非之地,来到了位于阿斯卡特拉的法师塔。
由于她早就拿到了传送许可,因此直接出现在传送之间。
早已等候在这里多时的构装体魔像立刻开口瓮声瓮气的说道:“下午好,艾达隆女士,欢迎您的到来。主人现在正在上层的休息室,请跟我来吧。”
“带路。”
太古银龙毫不废话的跟在魔像后面,穿过好几条走廊和楼梯抵达了一个满屋子都是动物的房间。
确切地说就是放养了大量毛茸茸动物的“左思快乐屋”。
至于左思本人,目前正坐在沙发上背靠着一头色彩斑斓的猛虎,左手在摸一条全身上下没有一根杂毛的白色冬狼,右手则摸着一头黑豹,脚下还踩着雄狮的肚皮,怀里一对雪貂正在争抢着一块肉排。
除此之外,屋内的桌子、椅子、地毯上都趴满了大大小小的动物,其中不乏性格凶猛、攻击性极强的猛兽。
可此时此刻,这些野兽都像是被驯服的宠物一样,慵懒的待在原地任由饲主抚摸蹂躏,完全没有一丁点想要反抗的意思。
在左思的正前方,还站着一个看上去很年幼的精灵少女。
不得不说,这幅诡异的画面真是刷新了艾达隆的认知。
她完全不敢相信一个在宇宙中都算得上是鼎鼎有名的大魔鬼,居然还会有这样不为人知的一面。
“啊!你来了。麻烦先坐一会儿,我跟这个小姑娘还有几句话没说完。”
左思显然察觉到了太古银龙的到来,面带微笑指着旁边的空椅子做了个请的手势。
“谢谢。”
艾达隆没有推辞,径直走过去把椅子上的猫拿起来,放在膝盖上轻轻的抚摸。
也不知道是不是错觉,伴随着手掌上传来柔软的触感,以及猫咪发出的愉悦叫声,她原本有些忐忑不安的心情居然慢慢平复下来。
Zuo Si ignored the silver dragon secretly petting his pet, and solemnly asked the elf girl standing in front of him: "Gilather Liaton, are you sure you want to take this path? You have to know that some things, once you start, there is no way to turn back."
"I understand! Following you is my only wish in this life."
The girl knelt on one knee and held the Moon Blade in her hands, her face full of determination and seriousness.
"Well, since you insist so much, you will be my second apprentice from today on. But let me be frank, I am very strict with my apprentices."
Zuo Si leaned forward slightly and released a little bit of his aura.
Guilaser Liaton resisted the suffocating feeling and nodded vigorously: "Understood! I swear, I will never let you down. I will do my best to learn and become stronger quickly."
"Very good. Now go eat something, and then find an empty room in the tower to settle down. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you about magic and swordsmanship."
After saying that, Zuo Si reached out and touched the little guy's head.
"Um!"
Seeing that his request was approved, Guilaser Liaton became extremely happy. He bent down and bowed, then ran out holding the Moon Blade.
Not long after she left, Aidalon couldn't help but ask, "Who is this little elf girl? She is qualified to be your apprentice like Sancho!"
"Haha, isn't the last name Leighton enough to remind you of something?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
"Lyaton? Ah! I remember now, they are a branch of the Silver Leaf Family." Aidalon lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized. "So the girl was holding a powerful Moon Blade that had been passed down?"
“That’s right.
She is the only heir to the Moon Blade now.
And I also found that her magical aptitude is quite good. Although she can't be compared with the Son of God like Sancho, she should have great potential.
What's more, in order to quickly integrate the elves into the West Coast Empire, I need a flag, one that can reflect the close relationship between me and the elves.
Taking all of the above into consideration, Guilaser naturally became a good choice. "
Zuo Si did not hide anything and stated his plan openly.
After all, through mind and memory detection spells, he already knew that the elf girl's feelings for him were a mixture of attachment, admiration, and a certain transfer of family affection.
As long as it is trained well and the power of the Moon Blade is fully utilized, it will definitely become a good helper. At the same time, it can also appease the hearts of the Sodanisla refugees, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
"I see."
Aidalon showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and then reported directly: "I have brought your disciple and the rest of the team to the underground tunnel of the Elf Temple, which is only one step away from the surface. If nothing unexpected happens, they have now established contact with the forest elves and will probably be able to set off for Thordannisla soon."
"Well done. The time is about right for the final showdown with Erinikas. I just don't know how far Sancho can go after this battle."
When saying this, Zuo Si's tone clearly revealed a strong sense of expectation.
"Are you trying to cultivate a new God of Murder who is inclined towards you?" Aidalon cautiously probed.
Zuo Si shook his head meaningfully: "No, I am just training Sancho. As for whether he wants to become a god, it depends on his own choice. After all, I can provide more than just the path to becoming a god. There are many other options."
Just when Silver Dragon wanted to continue asking what "other options" meant, Zuo Si suddenly raised his hand and released a ball of power from Baator Hell, pointed at the other party's chest and said: "I think after such a long time of consideration, you should have made up your mind to accept the transformation of this power, right? After all, only by living can you have everything and have a future."
"Yes, I am ready."
Aidalon subconsciously reached into the pocket he carried with him and gently stroked the precious dragon egg that he had spent ten thousand years to obtain.
"Then come with me. This is not the place for purgatory. The dragon might you release will scare my little pets."
As these words came out of his mouth, Zuo Si stood up and drove all the pets into the natural wilderness created by magic next door. He then took the silver dragon and walked straight to the deepest part of the underground of the Mage Tower.
About ten minutes later, an evil and terrifying energy surged out from underground and quickly swept across the entire lower level of the Mage Tower.
When Aidalon appeared in other people's sight again, his iconic long hair had turned from silver to black, and his elf-like fair skin was covered with strange and mysterious black patterns.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the result of purgatory.
Especially the elusive evil aura and the faint light flickering in the black pupils, which made people feel awe and fear involuntarily.
After getting what he wanted, Aidalon did not stay in the Mage Tower for too long. He took the dragon egg directly to the new nest he had chosen to hatch it.
After all, dragon eggs are very delicate.
If there is not a suitable environment and careful care, let alone successful hatching, the eggs may directly become bad eggs or even die.
