Especially for the newborn twins, perhaps as a mortal mother, she had no sense of awe, because Erebus had no way to do anything to them.
But he was full of fear of his father Zuo Si.
After all, the terrifying aura and powerful force that was coming towards him were real.
And the blood connection is constantly reminding them of the terrible price they will pay if they continue to act recklessly.
Therefore, when Zuo Si appeared, the gray-white color and the mist composed of spiritual and soul energy that enveloped the entire Neverwinter City completely quieted down, without any movement at all.
Obviously, like all the naughty kids who got into trouble and were found by their parents, the twins tried to avoid possible punishment by keeping silent.
But the really interesting thing is that they have not revealed their true form and appearance so far, and have been hiding in this barrier-like space from beginning to end.
In other words, this space may be the external manifestation of their essence or some kind of power.
Zuo Si could even feel the omnipresent mental exploration, as well as the naked and undisguised greed and desire for the soul that was like instinct.
"Soth! What is going on? Are they my children and yours?"
Eribes struggled to get up from the bed, looking obviously very weak.
This weakness does not come from the body, but from a deeper weakness of the soul.
Because at the moment she gave birth, her soul was unconsciously absorbed by her newborn twins.
If her real name was not "Dual Soul Vadalia" and she did not possess the "dual soul talent" that most mortals do not have, she would probably be half dead by now.
Looking at his pale-faced lover and chosen one, Zuo Si reached out his hand and gently stroked Eribes' delicate and charming face, smiling and nodding: "Yes, thank you for your hard work. You have successfully given birth to twins for me. As for the next matter, just leave it to me. Now, what you need to do is to have a good sleep and repair your damaged soul."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si's palm suddenly released amazing soul energy from the ninth level of Baator Hell and injected it into Eribes' body.
Just a moment!
The latter will feel a violent impact that cannot be described in words, as if all the neurons in the body, including the brain, are stimulated at this moment and produce an extremely pleasurable pleasure.
As a subconscious first reaction, she clung to the dark lord she served until she lost her mind and consciousness.
As soon as Eribes fell into coma, two female souls, closely connected back to back, emerged from her body.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the origin of her real name "Two-Soul Vadalia".
The side that is turned downwards symbolizes the kindness and justice in his heart, while the side above represents the dark, cold and cruel evil side.
It is precisely because of this dual nature of good and evil that Eribes often falls into pain, entanglement, self-denial and self-doubt.
There is no so-called neutrality or balance in her character. She always slides directly from one end of the scale to the other, either extremely good or extremely evil.
This is also what Zuo Si likes and enjoys the most.
Especially when the two of them were playing some immoral games, Eribes would occasionally be suddenly influenced by his kind side and show reactions such as reluctance, self-blame, and resistance during intimacy, but he could not resist the pleasure brought by his instincts and physiology.
This duality and the active, resistant and struggling sinking are the most fascinating and irresistible.
After all, in addition to the physical and spiritual happiness, Zuo Si, as a big devil, can also appreciate the subtle changes at the soul level.
Especially when kindness and justice are defeated by primitive instinctive physiological desires and one cannot help but shed tears, it always brings different experiences, perceptions and satisfaction about evil.
"Go to sleep—"
Zuo Si cast a soul-soothing spell on Eribes, then sent her directly back to bed.
After finishing all this, he turned around and looked at the white mist floating around, and asked meaningfully: "Aren't you two going to say something?
You have to know that silence is a very bad way to deal with a crisis, only slightly better than pretending to be tough.
Because it not only means admitting that a mistake was made, but also means that one is still hoping for the best and not taking responsibility.”
"Father, I think you should give your brothers and sisters a chance. After all, they are just born and know nothing about many things. Especially the serious consequences of slaughtering an entire city at once."
The Dark Prince Graya took the initiative to plead for the twins.
Obviously, he hoped to make the latter owe him a favor in this way, thereby establishing his prestige and influence as the eldest brother and ensuring that he had an advantage in the competition with his sister, little Anne.
"Haha, in that case, you can discipline these two little guys on my behalf. I want to see how far you, as a brother, can go."
Zuo Si acted as if he was ready to watch a good show.
He has always been aware of his son's little thoughts, and has no intention of interfering in such normal competition among his offspring.
After all, as long as they are not the only child, brothers and sisters are bound to have bumps and bruises in the process of growing up, and sometimes they will even have fierce conflicts over their parents' love and limited resources at home.
But it is especially during times like this that it is best for parents not to get involved easily, let alone take sides or try to protect the younger one.
Not only will this not ease the conflict, but it will also intensify the conflict and even make one party feel wronged and treated unfairly, leading to strong resentment.
At least in Zuo Si's eyes, children from the same family quarreling and fighting with each other are essentially acts of struggling for power in a micro-social structure.
Just as humans are most prone to violent impulses during adolescence and like to use violence to force their peers to be afraid and submit to them.
It comes from the instinct in our genes, and can also be called animality.
This is because human adolescence is just the period when humans have not yet been fully domesticated by society, and physiologically this corresponds to the estrus period when animals begin to become able to reproduce.
Therefore, teenage violence, premature love and school bullying will always be a chronic social disease, and it is not as simple as simply “learning bad things”.
Unless human genes change and completely abandon their past animal nature to evolve into another completely different advanced species, this phenomenon will continue to exist no matter how advanced technology becomes or how perfect the rule of law becomes.
Fortunately, Zuo Si's descendants have been divine from the moment they were born, so they are not affected by the animal nature in their genes like mortals.
But in its place is the permanent shaping of character, thought, and values by the nature of its power.
Because he found that no matter whether it was little Annie or the Dark Prince Graya, the transformation and influence he could bring to them were very limited.
It is more about imparting knowledge and experience than building character.
After realizing this, Zuo Si decided to adopt a laissez-faire strategy, intending to see what these naughty kids could do without his interference.
Anyway, as long as we don't cross the red line, it doesn't matter how many gangs we form in the future.
He is not the kind of parent who lives at the bottom of society and has never tasted power, and always wants to vent his strong desire for control on his children.
Some parents cannot even do the most basic thing of setting a good example themselves, and still expect their children to be 100% obedient like slaves to their masters, calling it "obedience", "filial piety", and "it's all for your own good".
Because they are financially and legally controlled by their parents and cannot be independent at all, the thought of children living in such a family for a long time makes people feel painful and desperate, not to mention having to endure it for more than ten years or even longer.
It is this type of people who are most likely to have serious mental problems and personality and character defects, and in more serious cases, they may even have suicidal tendencies.
In fact, when dealing with Graya, who has a mature mind, Zuo Si never takes a condescending attitude to discipline him, but provides advice from a relatively equal perspective.
As for whether to accept it or not, that is up to the Dark Prince himself.
The most typical example is that he learned through Shuoyou that his son was building a dark empire in another time and space, and had an overly close relationship with the goddess of the night, Shar, but he never interfered.
Because Zuo Si didn't think that the grudge between him and Shar needed to be passed on to his offspring.
Even if Graya and the goddess of night get someone killed in the future, he will just laugh it off.
It is this open-minded attitude that makes the relationship between the two always very harmonious.
The Dark Prince has a heartfelt respect and admiration for Zuo Si, and would even secretly imitate him.
Seeing that his father had given him the authorization, a happy smile suddenly appeared on Graya's face. He stepped forward and said to the twins, "Come out, my dear brother and sister. Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, nothing will happen."
"Why should we trust you?"
There was a clear hint of alarm in the girl's voice.
“Because you don’t have a choice.
Don't ever think about running away, because no matter where you go, your father with the Planeswalker Spark will be able to sense it the first time.
After all, you are not her sister. The essence of her power contains powerful mysterious attributes that can block all means of detection.
Also, before it is completely digested, I must quickly spit out the souls I have eaten and repair them, and then resurrect all the dead people in Neverwinter."
Graya made the request bluntly.
He finally realized that the twins actually had certain differences in personality.
The younger sister is obviously more inclined towards lawfulness, while the younger brother is a little more inclined towards chaos.
Especially when the "disaster" was imminent, there was a very obvious disconnect between the two people's pace.
"But I only ate one! And it was broken into pieces!" the boy complained with gritted teeth.
But even though he complained, he still vomited out the soul fragments in his stomach, and through some unknown means he pieced the shattered soul back together.
This poor mortal obviously did not realize how terrible something was happening to him, and he immediately screamed and ran into his own house and hid.
Seeing that her twin brother had vomited, the girl naturally did not dare to eat alone, and reluctantly vomited out the soul in her stomach as well.
Seeing this, Graya immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, this is a good start.
You must understand that the Father does not forbid you to eat souls.
But you are not allowed to kill mortals and devour their souls at will.
Because that would make you the mortal enemy of the gods of this world.
Now open the barrier and revive all the dead."
After hearing this, the twins fell into a brief silence, as if they were discussing something quietly.
In about half a minute, an astonishing divine power swept across the entire Neverwinter City.
After a while, the souls of the mortals hiding in every corner were dragged out by the huge force and then forced into the bodies that had been dead for a long time.
In a flash!
The dead city came back to life, even the rats in the sewers, the ubiquitous mosquitoes, and the withered plants were no exception.
Obviously, this is not resurrection through arcane or divine magic in the ordinary sense, but the direct manipulation and reversal of the more essential life and death, just like the instant killing of mortals by extraordinary divine power.
But the difference is that the twins master not only the realm of death, but also the spirit and soul.
As the entire Neverwinter City regained its vitality from the dead silence, the gray-white barrier in the sky finally gradually disappeared, and the dazzling golden sunlight once again descended from the sky, bringing light and warmth.
When all the fog dissipated, Zuo Si and Graya saw two little guys who looked almost identical standing on the balcony of Neverwinter Castle.
The girl was wearing a black Gothic Lolita skirt and a wide-brimmed hat of the same color on her head. She had black stockings on her legs and hands, and a pair of black round-toed leather shoes with the Crazy Rabbit logo on her feet. She was carrying an open red umbrella on her shoulder with a slightly eerie skull on top and the handle at the end had an appearance similar to that of a human spine.
She looked to be about four years old, but the makeup on her face gave her a decadent and rebellious look. The gray pupils in her eyes constantly emitted terrifying psychic powers similar to those of the Mind Flayer mastermind. Her long gray hair also leaked out from her wide hat.
The boy next to him was wearing a gorgeous black suit of the same Gothic style, a top hat on his head, a single lens on one of his eyes, and a small silver cane. The black leather boots on his feet and the leather gloves on his hands were dotted with a dozen skulls of different sizes that kept whispering.
Because they are so young and have no gender characteristics, they look almost the same, even their height is the same.
"Is this the form you just decided to give yourself?"
Zuo Si obviously noticed something and asked with a smile.
"Why, you don't like the way we look?"
The girl turned the little red umbrella on her shoulder, and in just a moment she appeared in front of her father, looking up at him with curiosity.
"No, I just think that this image seems a bit too mature for your age."
Zuo Si reached out and pinched his daughter's little face.
“But we like it!”
As soon as these words came out of their mouths, the twins exchanged positions in a way that was completely incomprehensible.
The Dark Prince Graya even showed an expression of disbelief, and didn't quite understand how his younger brother and sister could do this.
You have to know that what they use is neither magic nor divine power, but more like an extraordinary talent that is difficult to explain or describe.
However, the well-informed Zuo Si obviously sensed the mystery and immediately tested him with an uncertain tone: "Are you two essentially the same person with two sides of the same coin?"
"Hehe! As expected of a father, he figured it out right away.
That’s right!
Rather than being twins, we are two consciousnesses born from one life under the influence of our mother.
Because we share a power, share each other's thoughts and memories, and even share each other's lives.
If someone wants to kill us, then killing just one of them will do no good.
The remaining one will resurrect the dead half by splitting itself apart."
As she said this, a smug look appeared on the girl's face.
But she does have reason to be proud.
After all, this extremely difficult-to-kill trait means that twins have stronger survivability and fault tolerance than other siblings.
For example, when dealing with an enemy, you can send one person to fight the enemy first, and then collect intelligence on the enemy and look for weaknesses during the battle, and then send another wave at the end if necessary.
This way, the enemy will let down their guard because only one of the twins is left.
When the final battle comes, they will find that they are not facing one person, but two terrifying opponents who know them well.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si showed an interested expression, and ignored the priests, maids, and bureaucrats who had just come back to life. He smiled and asked, "Have you thought of your names? If not, I can fulfill my father's duty."
"Name us? Then just give us one at random. It's just a code name anyway."
The boy shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"What do you think of Hansel and Gretel? One happens to be a boy's name and the other a girl's name."
Zuo Si gave the twins a choice with almost no effort.
"Hansel and Gretel? That sounds good. I'll call you Gretel then."
The girl quickly chose her name.
"Then I am Hansel."
The boy fiddled with the top hat on his head with a slight smile on his face, obviously quite satisfied with his name.
"I'm glad you like it. Now follow me back to the floating city of Mutahar. On the one hand, I will give you a comprehensive test and examination, and on the other hand, I will select the members of the guard."
Having said that, Zuo Si prepared to take the two away through the connection of the Cave Tree.
But before he could take any action, a planeswalker spark came directly through the dark void.
Before the twins could react to what was happening, Hansel found himself tied up by a strange chain and then forcibly pulled over by the other party.
"Hahahaha! You can't do anything behind my back. The brother is mine and the sister is yours. It's settled."
Along with that extremely familiar voice, little Annie, who had been away from home for a while, finally appeared in everyone's sight.
However, unlike the last time they met, the powerful magical aura surrounding her became more intense and mysterious.
The Dark Prince Graya was completely stunned.
He never dreamed that little Annie would show up in this way, and blatantly want to take away her newborn brother in front of her father.
However, Zuo Si was quite calm about this. He looked at his eldest daughter who had grown up a lot and said in a teasing tone: "It's not easy. You finally remembered to come home. You know, when you ignited the Planeswalker Spark and ran away in front of me, I, an old father, was heartbroken."
"I'm sorry, father. I don't want to do this either, but you're too strict. So I have no choice but to run away and pursue freedom."
Little Annie stuck out her tongue playfully, and her reaction seemed less fearful and gave people a very lively feeling.
"It's okay. Since you've grown up a lot and become more sensible, I won't mind it. But what's the matter with you wanting to kidnap your brother as soon as you come back?"
Zuo Si looked his eldest daughter up and down and asked her questions.
他倒是并不担心小安妮会对翰赛尔不利，只是有点弄不懂这个性格变化莫测的小家伙究竟想要干什么。
“很简单。
除了格雷亚之外，我现在有一个弟弟和一个妹妹。
根据公平的原则，他不能同时独吞两个，必须要分给我一个才公平。
所以弟弟归我、妹妹归他。
这样一来我们就能继续保持势均力敌的状态继续竞争，看谁才有资格成为所有兄弟姐妹中的老大。
不用担心，我会好好教导弟弟的。”
说着，小安妮直接用胳膊搂住了翰赛尔的脖子。
尽管后者想要进行反抗和挣脱，但才刚刚诞生不久的他，怎么可能弄得过已经成为旅法师并获得根源神秘力量加成的姐姐的。
许多手段还没来得及施展出来就被悄无声息的化解。
最后在“长姐”那充满威胁的眼神中果断选择放弃认怂。
眼见自己的双胞胎兄弟那副无奈沮丧的模样，格莉特立刻噗嗤一声笑了出来。
虽然她与前者是一体两面，但都有相对独立的人格，因此非但没有表现出同情，反而幸灾乐祸起来。
毕竟任谁都能感受到，小安妮那变化莫测的性格绝对不可能是个好姐姐。
反倒是稳重成熟的格雷亚看上去会是个好哥哥。
“你把自己的弟弟妹妹当成了什么？玩具吗？居然还要平均分配？”
左思嘴角明显在不受控制的抽搐。
“嘿嘿！当然不是！一般的玩具哪有弟弟妹妹好玩。”
小安妮冲翰赛尔眨了一下眼睛。
后者没好气的翻了个白眼，随后自认倒霉的叹了口气。
没办法。
摊上这个长姐他又能怎么办呢？
“你觉得我会放任你带翰赛尔离开？”
左思眯起眼睛开始释放自己那恐怖的威压。
如果换成是以前，小安妮看到他这幅姿态肯定会吓得立马放弃原本的计划选择老老实实认罚。
但是这一次，女孩并没有被吓倒，反而释放了一个左思从未见过的类神力法术，直接在自己周围布下了严密的法阵。
当他同时发动时间之力、扭曲现实和神速力冲上去抢人的刹那，所有这些法阵突然闪烁着刺眼的光亮，随后便出现了诡异的因果倒置。
明明是左思先动的手、而且速度快出不知道多少倍，可小安妮就是以近乎超慢动作的方式完成了防御和反击。
下一秒……
惊人的斥力将左思强行向后推去，随后还做一道闪电直接从阳台飞了出去，仅用不到一微秒便冲出拖瑞尔星球的大气层进入到晶壁系所在的宇宙。
怎么回事？
刚才发生了什么？ 他在高速飞行的过程中百思不得其解。
不过仅仅一个念头之后，左思整个人就从外太空回到了之前的位置。
但就是这么短的时间，小安妮已经带上翰赛尔逃之夭夭了。
“对不起，父亲，我没能阻止姐姐离开。”
黑暗王子一脸羞愧的低下了头。
因为在刚才短暂的交手过程中，他发现小安妮的力量居然获得了难以想象的巨大增强。
明明是两人同时抵达了根源并制作出相应的地牌，格雷亚完全搞不懂为什么姐姐就能取得极高的管理权限和更强大的神秘加持。
尤其是那种逆转因果律的类神力法术，简直逆天到了极点。
只要提前准备好相应的法术和道具，无论对方的出手速度有多快，小安妮都永远可以后发先至立于不败之地。
“不用自责，这不能怪你，没看就连我都吃了个小亏吗？安妮这次绝对是做了精心的准备，甚至预判了我可能会做出的反应。不得不说，你的姐姐变得越来越厉害了呢。”
说罢，左思开始施展时间回溯寻找长女刚才所使用魔法的痕迹，以便确认她究竟是如何做到逆转因果的。
不过很可惜，小安妮显然非常谨慎，在达成目的的瞬间就通过自己独特的神秘力量把一切都抹去了，只留下一些不知道用什么东西打造而成碎片。
当然，像这种小花招只有第一次使用的时候才能达到出其不意的效果。
如果再来一次，左思肯定不会中招，而是会先摧毁那些有趣的魔法再动手拿下女儿。
“您的意思是……姐姐正在变得越来越成熟、越来越狡猾？”
格雷亚显然抓住了问题的关键。
要知道以前在心智不成熟的情况下，小安妮通常都是不怎么喜欢思考，而是凭借自身强大的力量来击垮对方，说白了就是个超级无敌强化版的“法蛮”，即使用魔法的野蛮人。
可现在当她开始学着思考、学着靠智慧去算计别人的时候，其威胁等级绝对翻了十几倍都不止。
而且也能最大限度发挥出魔法神秘、变化多端的优势特性。
左思微笑着点了下头：“我想是的。你恐怕要开始努力了，不然的话等下次交手的时候输掉的可能性极大。”
“该死！看来我得加快打造黑暗帝国和眷属的速度了。”
黑暗王子忍不住低声咒骂了一句，随后拉起站在旁边一声不吭的妹妹转身离开。
随着双胞胎被逼着强行加入了两个不同的阵营，这场差点酿成惨剧的风波终于逐渐平息下来。
因为左思在临走的时候抹去了整个无冬城除艾瑞贝斯之外所有人关于死亡的记忆。
所以大多数人只是隐隐约约模糊的记得发生了一些不好的事情，仅此而已。
但对于那些关心物质位面的诸神来说，显然是注意到了这对双胞胎的诞生。
只不过两人都没有在费伦大陆滞留太久便跟随哥哥姐姐们前往了其他时空。
另外一边，早就忍受不了天天被绿、头顶长出无尽荒原那么大草原的范斯维克，眼下正在科曼索精灵王国都城——迷斯·卓诺的一家酒馆喝得烂醉如泥。
他此刻并不知道自己名义上的妻子已经生下了双胞胎。
毕竟在艾瑞贝斯肚子大到一定程度后，这位精灵牧师就离开无冬城这个伤心之地，跟随邓布利多和盖勒特·格林德沃一起踏上四处旅行冒险的生活。
理由也非常简单，他终于意识到自己已经被那种可怕的魔法药剂所影响，永久性改变了性取向，再也不可能回到从前那样的平静的生活。
更何况以艾瑞贝斯的性格也不可能原谅自己。
“范斯维克今天的心情似乎不太好？”
坐在不远处痛饮美酒的格林德沃瞥了一眼身边的老相好。
不用问也知道，他之所以会出现在这里是因为左思履行了当初的承诺。
而且从那一头标志性竖起的嚣张发型不难看出，他也恢复了当初在魔法界呼风唤雨时的身体状态。
事实上这位野心勃勃的强大巫师来到费伦大陆已经有一段时间了。
最初的时候跟邓布利多一样，都是在阿斯卡特拉的法师塔内学习了一段时间，直至拥有一定的奥术施法等级后才动身与老相好汇合。
当这对曾经相爱相杀的老情人在另外一个没有人认识、更不需要有任何束缚的世界相遇后，立马就是天雷勾地火又搅合在了一起。
不仅如此！
他们还拉上早已堕落的范斯维克玩三人行，偶尔在路过某些城镇和村庄的时候还会与当地的“同好”一起追求刺激和新鲜感。
尤其是各地爱与美之神教会举办的特殊聚会，差不多只要是遇到就会参加。
范斯维克更是直接改变了信仰，从对正义之神提尔的崇拜转向对爱神的崇拜。
“没什么好担忧的，我知道怎么可以让他变得开心起来。”
邓布利多举起酒杯露出了一个“你懂的”表笑容。
格林德沃瞬间忍不住开始狂笑：“哈哈哈哈！我的天呐！真应该让那些把你当成救世主和神来崇拜的人看看，他们最敬仰的伟大巫师现如今究竟是一副怎样的面孔。亲爱的，你堕落的太快了。”
可邓布利多却不以为意的仰起头喝光了杯子里所有的酒，然后一边示意酒保给自己倒满，一边擦了擦胡子上残留的酒渍回应道：“你忘了，对于那个世界而言，你和我都已经死了。我们现在相当于重获新生，没理由被上辈子的名声和条条框框所束缚，应该尽情的去享受这来之不易的第二次人生。”
“没错！ 关于这一点我不能再赞同了。
看看这个充斥着怪物、神明、魔法、巨龙、强盗、魔鬼、天使、恶魔和异界生物的世界。
还有哪里比它更适合来一场伟大的冒险吗？ 所以我建议敬索斯一杯。
是他帮我们摆脱了束缚，可以实现内心之中一直以来的愿望。”
说着，格林德沃举起了手里的酒杯。
“敬索斯！”
“干杯！”
Dumbledore also took the refilled glass from the bartender and clinked it with the other party, then took a big gulp and turned around to admire the elven bard who was performing hard.
Although the only instrument used for accompaniment is a lute, under the influence of magic, this ballad praising the prosperity of the Kingdom of Cormanthor in the past is still very pleasant to the ears.
The rhythm of the chorus is especially cheerful.
Two dwarf adventurers who came here from nowhere were already dancing arm in arm in the open space.
Their sturdy bodies and short legs kicked up and down at a very high frequency, causing the people around them to either laugh or clap, and the scene looked very lively.
Just as the two wizards at the pinnacle of the magic world were enjoying the atmosphere of the tavern, a man who looked to be around 40 years old, wearing leather armor and carrying a longbow, walked straight up to them, sat down, and threw a gold coin directly to the bartender.
"Please treat these two great wizards to a glass of the best sparkling wine here."
moment!
Dumbledore and Grindelwald then turned their eyes to each other.
Having had quite a lot of adventure experience, they knew very well that such activities as treating people to drinks and chatting up people were basically accompanied by various tasks and troubles.
Of course, considering that they came here for the adventure, they were not very averse to this.
Just the opposite!
They really like such sudden and unexpected events and are eager to get the desired excitement from them.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Dumbledore habitually spoke first to confirm the other party's identity.
"Hello, my name is Codlin, and I'm a forest ranger."
The man took the lead and introduced himself.
However, this general introduction obviously cannot clarify his true identity.
After all, all humans who enter the Forest Kingdom of Cormanthor nowadays are basically either merchants engaged in trade or professions related to nature such as rangers and druids.
As for those farmers who needed to cut down trees to open up wasteland and grow crops, they were not allowed to get close at all because their living habits and ideas were so different from those of the elves.
While the ranger who called himself Codlin was speaking, the bartender had already poured two glasses of sparkling wine and placed them on the bar. Then he turned around and walked to the farthest end of the bar, leaving the guests with a private space for conversation.
Grindelwald was not polite. After finishing the wine in the glass, he immediately began to taste the fruit wine made with the elves' exclusive secret recipe. Without even looking up, he asked, "What do you need help with? You should know that the price of hiring us is not low. And we generally don't accept tasks that are not difficult."
“Hahahaha! As expected of you, you are the Grand Wizard from Askatla, the capital of the West Coast Empire. I do have a very difficult task here. I wonder if you are interested?”
The man stated his purpose straight away.
"Tell us about it. If it meets our expectations and you can afford the payment, we naturally have no reason to refuse."
Grindelwald stroked the mustache on his chin, his eyes revealing strong anticipation.
Because just half a month ago, they had just killed an adult green dragon in the forest and took away all the wealth in the dragon's lair.
That thrilling and dangerous battle made the former leader of the European magic world feel excited.
After all, the dragons of Faerun and the dragons of the magical Earth are two completely different creatures.
The former not only possesses higher intelligence than humans, but can also perform a variety of incredible dragon language spells with a variety of breathing forms. The latter is purely a beast driven by instinct.
Killing a dragon is as easy as eating and drinking for a wizard like Grindelwald.
But fighting an adult dragon from the continent of Faerun is more of an extreme challenge, and one could die if one is not careful.
"Have you heard of the Rongma Grassland? It seems that a very powerful orc tribe has risen there recently.
They almost occupied the most prosperous areas of the entire grassland and were still expanding at a very fast pace.
The top leaders of the elven kingdom of Cormanthor hope to send someone to investigate and find out what their relationship is with Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim.
Of course, the reward will definitely not be small.
Here is a deposit of 5,000 gold coins. After the task is completed, you can get a reward of at least 5,000 gold coins.
If you find out more important information, you can even obtain high-level magic items unique to elves."
After saying this, Codlin took out a bag full of heavy gold coins from his arms and threw it on the table.
Bang! With a heavy muffled sound, a golden glow appeared from the seal on the purse.
Each coin is a standard gold coin minted by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, Waukeen, and can be circulated freely throughout the West Coast Empire and Trade Alliance.
This is the precious metal currency with the best reputation, the highest casting technology, and the most favored by merchants and civilians in the entire continent of Faerun.
Even in the far east continent of Karatu, you can still use it to buy local specialties.
