The Seraphs sent by Io not only recovered all the divinity of Baal and his descendants, but also considerately sent Imoen, Aberdare, and Sancho who survived the war of gods back to the material world.
From now on, they no longer have to worry about the influence from their evil god father and can live the life they want.
The Sun Knight Davian became famous in one battle and officially entered the vision of the gods.
In particular, Losander, the Lord of the Dawn, showed great interest in this man who could gain power from mortals' belief and worship of the sun, and even directly transform himself into the sun.
After all, he has always longed to become a complete and powerful sun god like Amaunator, bringing infinite enthusiasm, light, order and hope to all mortals in the entire continent of Faerun.
To some extent, if we ignore the unrealistic idealism in his character and the disastrous consequences brought about by his impulsive behavior, he can definitely be regarded as a typical kind god in the traditional sense.
Moreover, the Lord of Dawn encourages believers to punish evil and promote good and to help others. Its pastors often organize various sports competitions to train the body, keep people positive and optimistic, and inject a strong vitality into the entire society.
It is precisely because of this that although Zuo Si did not like the style of this god and his church who wanted to interfere in everything, he only suppressed them every now and then and did not really expel or ban them.
Whether it is Athkatra, Baldur's Gate, or Calimport in the south, you can see priests, paladins, and believers of Lathander moving around.
Generally speaking, as long as these guys don't interfere with the operation of the political and judicial systems, the West Coast Empire officials will basically not pay any attention.
But if someone gets tired of living and dares to cross the line, or if someone sets up a town ruled by theocracy like Belgost did, don't blame the iron fist of tyranny for falling at any moment.
Zuo Si has always been highly alert, wary of the imperial bureaucracy and judicial system being infiltrated and even controlled by the Church of the Gods.
There is even a secret file on the beliefs, faction leanings, and family situation of every person holding an important position in the country.
If you are not in the lawful camp, you cannot cross the threshold and become a high-ranking bureaucrat.
However, having just finished a great battle, he was obviously not in the mood to care about what the Lord of Dawn would do to Davian. Instead, he went to the kingdom of Talona with the priesthood of death.
Of the three gods of death back then, except for the second generation god of death Melkor, the other two lived in the plane of destruction and despair.
Therefore, Talona and Lovita, who were subordinate gods of Baal, also settled in this plane.
Zuo Si planned to hand over the priesthood of death directly to Talona to fulfill his original promise, and by the way, satisfy this somewhat unsatisfied goddess a little.
However, what he didn't know was that just when he had left the continent of Faerun, the Mage Tower of Askatla was invaded for the first time since its construction.
After noticing Zuo Si's departure, the Ghost Prince, Brenas Tanshul, immediately led his men and followers to sneak into the sewers of the old city under the cover of night.
After discovering a secret door here, this group of guys immediately jumped into the crack of the shadow plane without hesitation and went directly into the interior of the Mage Tower without alarming any defenses.
Yes!
You read that right!
They successfully bypassed the alarms and magic traps set on the outermost layer of this powerful wizard tower.
Due to living in the shadow plane for a long time, there are basically no normal people among the upper echelons of the entire Ghost City.
No matter whether it was to prolong life or to better adapt to the dangerous and harsh environment of the shadow plane, everyone acquired half-shadow characteristics with the help of the Church of Shar, and some even obtained the special advanced profession of "Ghost Mentor".
Coupled with Telramant Tanshul's more than two thousand years of tireless research on the shadow plane, the spellcasters in the City of Ghosts can cast some extremely special spells, travel through the gap between the shadow plane and the material world, and then bypass obstacles and blockages to reach their destination directly.
It is precisely because of this technique, which is not well known to spellcasters in Faerun, that the Ghost Princes have successfully invaded the heavily guarded nests of so many high-level wizards and robbed one legacy after another from the era of Netheril.
It was obvious that Brenas Tanshul wanted to replicate his previous success on Zuo Si's mage tower.
After all, up to now, he has not found any mage tower that can withstand his invasion, not even the famous Sel Red Robe.
Therefore, the Ghost Prince was very confident that he could easily sneak into the treasury inside the Mage Tower and take away at least two or more artifacts.
But what he didn't know was that his and others' every move had been under close surveillance.
As soon as we entered the sewer, the consciousness of the Mage Tower issued a warning.
The mechanical life form that escaped from the Mechanical Realm - the Responsible One, was now idle and feeding food to Zuo Siyang's "little pets". He looked at these furry and very fragile animals with curious eyes, and even reached out to gently stroke the head of a colorful "big cat".
Due to Zuo Si's transformation, he has gained the same sense of touch as the Silver Golem Kahn, so he can feel temperature and softness.
“Ouch—”
The big cat raised its head and growled, rubbed against him twice affectionately, and then continued to eat with its head down.
Perhaps because they have been raised in the Mage Tower since childhood, these beasts, which were supposed to live in forests and mountains, have long lost their wildness.
Not to mention suddenly attacking and hurting people, he is even too lazy to get up and catch small animals when he sees them running around in front of him.
After all, hunting is very tiring, and if the prey resists too fiercely, it may easily cause injury. It is not as comfortable as lying on the ground and waiting to be fed.
What? You mean the dignity of the king of beasts? How much meat is that thing worth?
Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and wait for food to be delivered to your door like this?
Moreover, if you are sick, you can receive divine treatment, and if you are old and unable to move, you will not starve to death.
Perhaps in the eyes of some animal protectionists, captivity is a form of torture and abuse for these wild animals that should be able to run, hunt and release their nature freely in the wild.
But in fact, animals don’t think so much, and they will not refuse to live in a favorable environment without external threats and fill their stomachs every day.
If someone wanted to release Zuo Si's little pets back to nature now, no matter whether it was a tiger, leopard, lion, fat brown bear, black bear, or those huge canines, they would roar without hesitation, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
What a joke! Is it easy to find a long-term stable meal ticket?
He actually wanted to drive me back to the cruel wilderness to fend for myself.
Especially magical creatures such as winter wolves and wargs, whose intelligence is almost the same as that of humans, have long regarded this place as their own nest.
So when the alarm sounded, the winter wolves and wargs almost immediately stopped eating and stood up, with terrifying murderous light flashing in their eyes.
The leading female winter wolf opened her mouth and asked in the common language: "What's going on? What happened? Is there anyone who dares to invade the master's wizard tower?"
"You guys continue to eat. I'm going to deal with those invaders. This is my duty."
As he spoke, the person in charge stood up with a dazzling white light flashing from his eyes, and he took a step with heavy footsteps.
You have to know that since he joined the Mage Tower, he has been doing boring repetitive patrols every day. His only pleasure is to feed these animals and watch them eat voraciously.
If it were in the past, this constructed life form from the mechanical realm would definitely not have any complaints, and would still faithfully perform his duties even if it took hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years.
Because the life in the mechanical realm was designed in this way, representing the absolute order that transcends everything.
In the mechanical realm, there is no promotion mechanism like in Baator and Mount Heaven. The position of all creations is determined from the day they leave the factory.
Unless the superior is killed in battle or in an accident, the subordinate will have no chance of promotion at all.
Moreover, this kind of promotion is not based on performance and achievements like in the Devil's way, nor is it based on how many deeds you have done to punish evil and promote good, or how many people you have saved like in Heaven Hill. It is simply based on the order of leaving the factory.
From the perspective of ordinary mortals, the mechanical realm is by no means a paradise, but a rigid, boring, lifeless and hopeless plane.
There, everything must be done according to the set rules. There is no need for any thoughts or self-awareness, let alone invention or creation. Everything is already included in the ubiquitous order.
不过现在，责成者显然已经受到黑暗虚空力量的影响开始脱离绝对秩序，渐渐有了喜怒哀乐和对于自我的认知。
他想要通过工作来实现和证明自己的价值，想要与法师塔内形形色色的生命进行交流。
带着这样的想法，这个完全由精金打造且坚硬无比的构装体出现在了自己负责防御的通道内。
才短短几秒钟功夫，一个与阴影位面相连接的入口便凭空打开。
紧跟着一名法师和五个战士的组合从里边钻了出来。
当他们看到一个跟普通人类差不多高、两只手各自握着一柄魔法长剑挡在自己面前的时候，所有人脸色都变了。
尤其是接受过耐瑟瑞尔精英教育的法师，几乎立刻就感受到了强烈的威胁。
原因很简单！ 类似魔像这样的构装体，通常来说在材料充足的时候往往都是尽可能往大了做。
因为质量就是力量。
一个两百公斤的铁拳轮起来打上去，跟一个两吨重的铁拳打上去，威力自然不可同日而语。
虽然在普通人看来同样难逃一死，可前者充其量只能打碎几根骨头、尸体整个还是可以保存完好的，但后者却能把尸体砸成肉饼乃至肉酱。
所以费伦大陆的魔像设计理念普遍推崇大就是美、重就是好的思想，外形方面更是百无禁忌。
某些粗心大意法师的作品，甚至能力见到两条胳膊或腿不一样粗。
像这样的构装体，作为耐瑟瑞尔遗民的阴魂城法师肯定不会放在眼里。
但责成者不同，他的外形跟人类相差无几，不管是身上的铠甲开始脸上的表情，都呈现出一种十分精致的样子。
尤其是手中的两柄精金魔法长剑，在魔法视觉下闪烁着刺眼的光芒。
这也就意味着这个构装体并不是那种普通货色，而是更高级的进阶型号。
否则以元素生命的灵魂和智力水平，根本无法做到同时操控两把剑进行作战。
“小心！这个魔像有些奇怪！”
为首的法师赶忙出言提醒队伍中的战士。
不过很可惜，他提醒的太晚了一点。
责成者在确认眼前这些家伙都是敌人之后，一言不发便迈开步子冲了上去。
手持附魔盾牌的战士见状，二话不说便喝下一瓶能大幅度增加力量属性的药剂顶在前边。
身为阴魂城的精锐，他们可不是费伦大路上那些魔法装备和消耗品匮乏的一般冒险者，武器、铠甲和头盔都达到了+2的附魔等级，而且腰带上有专用存放药剂的插槽。
一般平均等级在LV7左右的精英小队，甚至没办法在这些训练有素且身经百战的敌人面前扛过一个回合。
没办法，谁让人家活得久呢。
别看这些战士整体上都维持在三十岁到四十岁的样子，可真实年龄可能要在后边加个零都不止。
之所以没有衰老，完全是因为挂上了幽影模板，寿命长达正常人的十几倍之多。
哪怕是一头猪，拥有长达数百年乃至上千年寿命也差不多能修炼成精了。
更不用提这些这些阴魂城的精英士兵。
只见他们迅速做出反应，以两面盾牌为核心组成了一个专门用来抵挡大型构装体或生物冲击的阵型。
法师则躲在最后边挥舞双手开始吟唱咒语。
下一秒……
他的掌心开始闪烁光芒，紧跟着从指尖射出一道球形的防护力场。
任何对奥术魔法有点了解的人都能立马辨认出，这就是四环塑能系魔法中大名鼎鼎的【弹力法球】。
它最大的特点是可以用力场将目标与外界完全隔绝，既能起到保护的作用，也能困住对方使其动弹不得。
很显然，这位法师施展【弹力法球】的目的是想要困住眼前这个奇怪的魔像，然后为自己争取更多的时间侦测弱点、思考战术。
可就在力场球体即将完成合围的刹那，责成者发动了每天两次的类法术能力——【破法钢魂】。
转瞬之间，力场球就从他的身上转移到了阴魂城法师的身上。
后者当场呆若木鸡，完全不敢相信一个魔像居然还拥有反弹法术的能力。
而且这次反弹直接打乱了他的思维和部署，赶忙掏出卷轴打算启动紧急备用预案。
但还没等激活卷轴，责成者便已经冲到近前，直接对准其中一名持盾的战士挥出了一剑。
瞬间！
所有人只看到寒光一闪，随后这名战士的脑袋便跟身体分家，被颈动脉的巨大血压顶起来滚落到地上。
斩首攻击？！ 另外四名战士脸色勃然大变。
要知道他们仅仅只是获得了幽影体质，并不是真的变成了不死生物。
如果遭到斩首，那百分之百是要死的。
最重要的是这一击直接越过了盾牌，就连盔甲的护颈也没能起到任何防御效果，仿佛柄剑直接穿过了一切物理上的阻碍。
不过责成者显然不会给敌人思考问题的时间，瞬间启动了瞬发的类法术能力【暗示】。
被困在【弹力法球】内的法师瞬间中招，停止了手头上的施法动作站在原地发呆。
紧跟着责成者的眼睛里突然闪过一抹黑色的幽光，另外一名持盾战士便立刻感觉到全身上下虚弱无力，连手里的盾牌都拿不稳了。
还没等反应过来是怎么回事，他便感到胸口一阵刺痛，原来责成者已经用另外一柄剑刺穿铠甲插进了心脏。
在失去意识前的最后一刻，这名战士终于明白原来是自己被某种强大的魔法力量诅咒了。
而释放诅咒的人正是眼前这个处处透着诡异、令人毛骨悚然的构装体魔像。
他张开嘴想要提醒队伍中的同伴，可最终半个字都没能吐露出来，便被精金长剑从中间砍成两半。
没有了盾牌的保护，剩下三名战士在责成者的面前根本毫无反抗之力，轻而易举就被锋利的剑刃撕碎。
附魔等级+2的铠甲根本抵挡不住精金长剑的硬度，往往一下就会被捅个对穿。
另外，这些阴魂城战士手里的武器砍在责成者身上最多只能留下一条印子，所以短短几秒钟便被屠戮一空。
那名中了暗示的法师也在【弹力法球】持续时间结束后遭到斩首。
至此，这支阴魂城小队就全部死在了这条位于地下一层的走廊里。
看着遍地的鲜血与碎尸，责成者缓缓从嘴里吐出几个字。
“闯入者……清理完毕。接下来将前往其他区域提供支援。”
说罢，他便发送了一条让魔蝠前来打扫清理的命令，自己则迈着沉重的步伐往上层走去。
事实上像这样摧枯拉朽般快速结束的战斗，这会儿在整个法师塔内的许多地方正在发生。
布雷纳斯·坦舒尔显然希望通过这种全面入侵来搅乱里边的防守，自己好前往宝库去偷走最有价值的神器与魔法物品。
要是能拿回一套五十章耐瑟瑞尔卷轴，那么他就会瞬间成为阴魂城的英雄，以及父亲眼中最出色、最能干的儿子。
但就像有句话说得好，理想很丰满，但现实却很骨感。
因为在这位阴魂王子从阴影位面跳出的时候，发现的是由艾达隆为首的最强守卫力量早就已经张网以待多时了。
不管是这条活了一万年的太古银龙，还是杀气腾腾的神之子沙洛佛克，又或是自然神侍尼米多娜，以及手持暗影能核的撒伦精怪阿加莎与费林魔葵首领瓦瑞斯……
就没有一个是他能惹得起的。
仅仅一个照面，布雷纳斯·坦舒尔便汗如雨下，敏锐的第六感更是疯狂发出警报。
最要命的是，从阴影位面跳跃进来的刹那，空间便被一股无形的力量彻底封死。
所有召唤传送类的法术统统都不能生效。
现在该怎么办？ 不光是阴魂王子傻了眼，跟随他的副官和亲信也都露出了绝望的眼神。
他们做梦都不敢相信，区区在物质世界的法师塔里，居然隐藏了这么多实力恐怖的怪物。
除掉沙洛佛克这个战士之外，哪怕是最弱的一个，奥术施法等级都达到了LV30以上，而且还是法师和术士双修的那种，其余的更是普遍达到了LV40。
拥有等同于神明般力量的炽天神侍就更不用说了。
此时此刻，布雷纳斯·坦舒尔考虑的已经不是能偷走多少耐瑟瑞尔的神器，而是在考虑如何才能保住自己的命，亦或是死的稍微有尊严一点。
“你是打算直接投降呢，还是打算稍微挣扎一下给我们带来点乐趣呢？”
艾达隆扫了一眼这些不知死活的蠢货，用略带戏谑的语气讽刺道。
She really couldn't understand where this guy in front of her, whose spellcasting level was about LV26, got the courage to take the initiative to provoke Zuo Si.
He was the great devil from the ninth layer of Baator Hell, the most favored elect of three generations of magic goddesses. Just a projection of him could produce an oppressive feeling that could not be described in words.
"What's the difference?"
Brenas Tanshul asked back with a wry smile.
Aida Long responded meaningfully: “There is indeed no difference in the results.
But if you surrender voluntarily, I can consider arranging a slightly more comfortable cell for you.
Because the master said that he would keep your life useful."
"So you're all Soth's men? Serving him?"
Brenas Tanshul opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
In his opinion, it is incredible that so many powerful people who can dominate a region all obey one person.
After all, the many princes of Ghost City, even those with the closest blood relationship, would split into factions and fight endlessly with each other.
What's worse, he has already begun planning how to replace his father and become the new Lord of Ghost City.
Don't these powerful spellcasters have their own wishes and ambitions? Don't they need to conduct esoteric magical research and experiments?
Don’t you need to explore the mysteries of the outer planes and the universe?
Why are they all huddled in this small mage tower...
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Brenas Tanshul would never have believed that Zuo Si had quietly gathered so many powerful people to work for him.
Similarly, he began to doubt whether it was a wrong decision for the City of Ghosts to return from the Shadow Plane.
Judging from the reaction of the Church of Shar, the Goddess of Night clearly intends to use the City of Ghosts to achieve some ulterior motive.
If this leads to a conflict or even a war with the West Coast Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Brenas Tanshuer was not sure whether the contents of the box that his eldest brother gave to his father could really pose a threat to Zuo Si.
If not, Ghost City will probably face unprecedented disaster and destruction.
“That’s right.
Lord Soth is our master, and we will obey every order he gives unconditionally.
And don't even think you can send the information you know back through magic communication.
Because the current Mage Tower has completely cut off all contact with the outside world, even communications within the tower will be 100% intercepted."
Aidalon bluntly shattered the last glimmer of hope of the Ghost Prince.
After fighting against the insidious and cunning dark elves for ten thousand years, how could she not see what tricks the other side was doing in secret?
Especially the deputy, who had already released several communication magics through the super magic technique spell.
"Well, it seems that I have no choice but to surrender."
After realizing that no matter what he did, it was meaningless, Brenas Tanshuer raised his hands decisively and admitted defeat.
For smart people, there is no need to fight a battle like this where the odds are 100 to 100, as it will only cause them to suffer more pain.
Seeing that the Ghost Prince surrendered, the others dropped their weapons, took off their armor, took out all kinds of magic items, scrolls and potions and threw them on the ground.
After a while, they completely disarmed and waited for their fate.
Just as Aidalon was waving his hand and was about to order his men to escort them all to the cell specially for holding spellcasters, he suddenly saw Zuo Si's second apprentice, the elf girl Guilaser Liaton, slowly walking towards the stairs with a head emitting a pungent smell of blood, and then casually threw it to the ground.
moment!
The pupils of the Ghost City people, including Brenas Tanshul, suddenly dilated, as if they could not believe what they saw.
Because the owner of this head is the third person in the entire team, a very powerful mage and warrior.
But now, his head was cut off by an elf girl who looked underage.
Eye-catching blood dripped onto the ground along the Moon Blade.
"How long did it take you to kill this guy?" Sharevok asked with interest.
"Five minutes! It only took me five minutes to finish him off."
Guilaser Liaton quickly gave an exact number.
When Sarevok heard the answer, he immediately laughed happily: "Hahahaha! Good! That's great! You really didn't let me down and passed the actual combat test effortlessly. Now I declare that you are now qualified to become a master in close combat."
"You mean... I can leave the tower and go to the outside world now?"
There was a strange look in the elf girl's eyes.
"Yes. You can now go out into the world and kill whoever you want."
After saying that, Sarovok raised his hand and touched Gulaser's young face which was stained with blood.
The latter raised his mouth for the first time, revealing a chilling, bloodthirsty smile.
…
On the other side, far away in the outer plane, in the kingdom of Talona.
This goddess, who had just obtained the priesthood of death and completed the promotion from medium to great power, was slowly peeling the entire country away from the wasteland of destruction and despair.
Because with the final formation of the theory of natural cycles, she has completely become a god of absolute neutrality.
Therefore, the plane filled with desolation, destruction and despair is no longer suitable for living. Either move to a neutral plane or create one yourself.
Given Talona's personality, she would definitely choose the latter.
This is undoubtedly a huge project that will take at least several months or even years to complete.
The scenery in the country is also beginning to become closer to its original natural state, presenting a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The most important thing is that Talona herself has shed her previous evil, jealous, and vindictive appearance, and now she is completely calm, beautiful, and elegant.
If you don't know, you might think it's the forest goddess Mielikki.
"What do you think of my current image?" Talona asked with a smile.
Zuo Si answered very straightforwardly: "It's beautiful. Especially the black and white color scheme that symbolizes the cycle of life and death, which makes you full of inexplicable mystery and attraction."
"Haha, you're still as talkative as before. How should I reward you?"
As she spoke, Talona stepped closer, bent down, and looked into the eyes of her constituents aggressively.
"I want an extra death domain for a cleric, that's all."
Zuo Si made the request very frankly.
Because this was a plan he had made a long time ago, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards.
"Is it just a death field?"
Talona once again closed the distance between them, almost to the point where their faces were touching and they could feel each other's breath, smell, heartbeat and temperature.
"What else?"
Zuo Si spread his hands.
"I think I can give you more. Come on, close your eyes and leave the rest to me."
As she spoke, Talona first kissed Zuo Si's forehead, then his nose and lips, and then she pressed her whole body against him.
moment!
An astonishing force surged into the latter's body, and in just a few seconds he felt that his basic attributes had once again been greatly improved.
Not only did he gain the Death Domain, but his priest level was also raised from LV15 to LV25, a full ten levels higher.
But at this moment, Zuo Si had no time to check his own condition, but quickly entered a state of waiting for an opportunity under the control of the goddess.
After about seven or eight minutes, some strange sounds were heard in the huge temple, and the whole country was bathed in an atmosphere of excitement, excitement and enjoyment.
No one knows what really happened inside.
Because all the petitioners had been driven out before this.
No one dared to approach easily before being summoned by Talona.
Only a few of the goddess' trusted priests vaguely guessed the truth, but they did not dare to tell anyone else.
When the goddess appeared again a few days later, radiant and radiant, one could clearly see great satisfaction between her brows.
As for Zuo Si, he had already left the country quietly and found a place where no one would disturb him to check his harvest.

Special ability——【Goddess’s favor】
You have just won the affection of a powerful goddess, and can therefore draw upon her strength and even divine powers to a certain extent, acting like a standard combat avatar.
"Give me the authority to borrow divine power and supernatural power at will?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise while wiping the lip marks from his face, neck and chest.
He obviously did not expect that Talona would be so generous after being satisfied, and even made him feel relieved that he had sacrificed his beauty and was not taken advantage of for free.
The overall improvement of attributes and priest level were obviously the result of absorbing the essence of certain goddesses during the intimate interaction.
Including the LV10 mystic, the current priest level has reached LV35.
The mage level has also reached an astonishing LV43.
As for the [Creator], it is the ultimate profession that Zuo Si created by integrating the advantages and specialties of the Creator and the Artificer, and adding the life magic learned from the vampire planeswalker Sorin Markov.
As the name suggests, this is a way to truly create various kinds of life and races like a creator, and even build a civilization from scratch on a barren planet.
As for whether it is a silicon-based or carbon-based creature, a flesh and blood body or a mechanical body, it all depends on your mood.
With the ability of the Creator, he can boldly dismantle the Silver Golem Karn and find all the ancient artifacts that Urza had hidden inside his body one by one.
After browsing his current attribute panel from beginning to end, Zuo Si immediately imitated the long-awaited profession of [True Necromancer], and invested a lot of energy to upgrade it to LV14 in one go.
Thus, his priest spellcasting level increased by another twelve, to LV47;
The mage level also increased by twelve, reaching an astonishing LV55.
Because the advanced profession of [True Necromancer] does not increase both the arcane and divine spellcasting levels at levels 1, 2, 7, and 8, but can only increase one of them.
Therefore, after four levels, the levels of mages and priests can only be increased by two points each.
Looking at the updated character panel, Zuo Si, who had been suffering from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, finally felt relieved.
To be precise, the Sinnoh dual cultivation route that I had set for myself was finally completed at this point.
Although this improvement in professional level is actually nothing nowadays, whether it is for a planeswalker or a hell lord.
It is incomparable to the privileges that the goddess obtains after several days of passion.
But that kind of spiritual and psychological satisfaction made Zuo Si feel inexplicably relieved, as if the heavy burden that had been pressing on his shoulders had been completely lifted.
He did not return to Faerun immediately, but went to the famous "Scorching Hell", intending to make a deal with the capricious Yug'groths.
Just when he had just completed the inter-dimensional teleportation, Shemisaka, the underworld queen of Sigil City at the center of the universe, was furious in her mansion.
"Assholes! How on earth did you lose this batch of priceless goods? Do you know how much these goods are worth? Even if I sell you, it won't be worth even one thousandth of my loss!
Now give me a reason not to kill you! Otherwise I will throw you into the pot one by one to make soup and feed the slaves tonight!"
"Great...Great Queen!
Merciful Queen! Generous Queen! This is really not our fault! It is really because those bandits were too insidious and cunning, secretly ambushing us on the road we had to pass.
Their number is thirty times ours, and they are all very powerful guys.
After just one encounter, more than half of our guards were killed or injured, and we were unable to guarantee the safety of the goods.
I swear, if I hadn't come back to tell you the news, I would have chosen to die in battle rather than be a cowardly deserter."
A fully-armed tiefling knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, his eyes filled with despair and fear.
If someone said to throw him into the pot to make soup and feed it to the slaves, it might just be a joke, or it might be a threat or intimidation.
But Shemisaka can definitely put it into action.
Because there are quite a few unlucky people like this every year, and their death can be said to be extremely tragic.
"Who did it? Who dares to rob my goods?"
Shemisaka grabbed Tifulin by the collar and questioned him harshly.
Due to her extreme anger, she had no power to restrain her strength, and her sharp claws almost cut the latter's trachea, with blood quickly flowing out of the wound.
But Ti Fulin, whose life was in danger, had no time to care about this minor injury, and cried and replied at a very fast speed: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but I really don’t know anything.
Everything happened so fast that I couldn't see the situation clearly.
After killing our people, the other party immediately fled with the truck. The whole process took no more than seven or eight minutes.
I suggest you send out spies to inquire around the streets of Sigil.
There is absolutely no way that so much goods could disappear out of thin air.
If it was a faction in Sigil that did this, they would definitely reveal their true colors when they were selling the stolen goods.”
"You useless idiot! How could I have been so blind to let you take charge of this vital caravan!"
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from him, Shemisaka pushed his men to the ground and kicked them hard.
Such a huge loss made her start to lose her mind, and she immediately issued an urgent mission to the spies lurking in the various factions to investigate where the lost goods were hidden.
If the goods cannot be recovered, the high-level yugoloth will not only lose a large sum of money, but will also be seen as a sign of weakness by other competitors.
At that time, not to mention continuing to sell information, you might even lose your life.
Of course, in line with the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket, she contacted the devil again, hoping to buy some more drugs to save the day, or at least to ensure that the market share would not drop too much.
