Because it first broke the previous rumors that the Spider Queen had fallen.
Secondly, the souls of believers who were originally wandering in the outer planes and even the astral plane finally began to re-enter the kingdom of gods through that crack.
This undoubtedly injected a sedative into the drow society, which was originally in great turmoil.
At least mortals no longer have to worry about their souls falling into the bottomless abyss and becoming playthings of demons after death.
Of course, falling into Rose's hands is not much better. Those unlucky people who have betrayed others and been transformed into spider elves are the best proof of this. But at least it is a little better than falling into the hands of the devil.
Last but not least, this call began to stimulate those priestesses who considered themselves to be pious and loyal to the Spider Queen to begin looking for the path to the goddess's kingdom, accept the test from the goddess, and finally become the chosen champion.
Yes, the Drow word "Yor'thae" means "Lolth's Chosen Ones".
Her sacred servant, a vessel to be exact.
Through the vessel, this goddess can do many unexpected things.
However, this level of recovery obviously cannot help the city of Menzoberranzan, which is already in the midst of division and civil strife.
Because an army suddenly appeared and surrounded this city, which was known as the most powerful dark elf city in the Underdark, and began to launch a fierce attack.
If it were a normal situation, it would be useless even if the enemy had a large number of people or were strong, given the difficulty in attacking and defending the city of Menzoberranzan.
But the problem is that this is not a simple foreign invasion, but a joint effort from both inside and outside.
The Agrachi Dill family teamed up with a lich to open a passage into the city for the invaders.
At present, the coalition forces composed of gray dwarves, ogres, trolls, shadow dragons, etc. have already attacked and captured a large area as a forward base.
The dark elves, led by the Baenre family, resisted with all their might.
Although the Spider Queen has begun to recover, she has not immediately resumed her supply of spells to the priests, so the overall situation does not look optimistic.
Especially Trill Baenre, the highest leader of the Municipal Council, who was currently sitting on the chair that belonged to the matriarch in the family hall with a gloomy face, squinting his eyes and surveying the family members present. After a full minute, he suppressed his rage and asked, "Where is Gonfu? Why hasn't he shown up at this time?"
"I'm sorry, Madam, we don't know either. According to the apprentices in the Mage Tower, he suddenly disappeared a few days ago. No one knows where he went or what he was busy with." Price Banry stepped forward and answered carefully.
As a first-year student at the Warlock Academy who was "only" thirty years old, he originally did not have the authority to participate in family meetings of this level.
The reason why he was standing here was simply because he could occasionally come into contact with Gongfu Baenre, the eldest son and the most powerful man in the family.
Although the arcane magic training school in Menzoberranzan is called the "Warlock Academy", in fact, all the students trained are mages.
The Chief Archmage Gongfu is the undisputed highest authority in this field.
This is also one of the reasons why the Baenre family can dominate and stand firm in the city of Menzoberranzan.
For a long time, Gromph controlled most of the arcane magic in the city, and before succeeding Matron, Trill had a firm control over the Spider Temple, which trained priests.
Even now, the headmistress of the Spider Academy is still Quensel Baenre.
Therefore, the terrifying foundation of the First Family is definitely not comparable to any other family. It even has a huge gap with the second-ranked family. Even after experiencing the disastrous defeat at the Mithril Hall, it is still as stable as a rock.
As long as there are no major problems within the Banrui family, no one can pry this behemoth apart.
But now, as the most important pillar of the family, Gongfu suddenly disappeared at the critical moment. How could this not make Trill feel nervous, uneasy and angry.
Because in her opinion, there are only two situations that could lead to such a situation.
One possibility was that Gonfu no longer took her, his mistress, seriously, and the other was that someone had assassinated the most powerful wizard of the Baenre family and even the entire city of Menzoberranzan.
Either outcome would be disastrous for her and the Banry family.
Although Cui Er had met many great families, he still felt that the current situation was very difficult.
After all, the invaders have already entered the city of Menzoberranzan and are constantly expanding and conquering cities in all directions.
If it weren't for the fact that each family had built very solid fortresses and strongholds in order to deal with internal strife, and if all kinds of magic barriers and traps were not spread all around, the surface cities would have fallen by now.
"You mean no one knows where Gromph is?"
Trill narrowed his eyes at the youngest member of the family present.
Price was obviously frightened and nodded vigorously. "Yes. Even other great wizards don't know where he went. But one thing is that he met with an unknown woman in private a few days ago."
"What do you mean by unidentified?"
Trail obviously smelled a conspiracy.
"According to the description of the people who have seen her, she is clearly a high-ranking priestess but does not belong to any existing family."
Price honestly told us everything he knew.
"So you think that Gromph has betrayed his family, betrayed the goddess, betrayed the city of Menzoberranzan, and even colluded with those enemies?"
While saying this, Trill's whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Because not long ago, the lich of the Agrachi Dill family had defeated and killed two archmages of the city of Menzoberranzan on the front battlefield. That scene seriously undermined the morale of the defenders.
Although the two great wizards were later resurrected by the divine scrolls treasured by their respective families, no one dared to fight the lich head-on.
Trill originally wanted to let Gromfu come forward to deal with this powerful arcane spellcaster, but who would have thought that such an accident would happen at the critical moment.
"I...I don't know."
Price lowered his head and didn't dare to look into the mistress's eyes that were burning with anger.
"Madam, now is not the time to worry about whether Gongfu will rebel. You must immediately unite all the families in Menzoberranzan and stabilize the situation first. As for other things, you can put them aside for now." Nosarol Baenre stepped forward and suggested with a serious face.
As Trier's cousin, he is the mentor of the entire family and has the obligation to ensure that the mistress does not make any wrong decisions under impulse.
"How do the matrons of other families react now?"
Trill asked in a low voice, resisting the urge to vent his anger.
"Several families that were attacked are requesting support from the Municipal Council. The Martial Arts Tower and the Warlock Academy have also assembled and are ready to go into battle at any time."
Another female member of the Banrui family gave the answer without hesitation.
Hearing this answer, Trail slammed the armrest of the chair, stood up and said viciously: "In this case, let's teach these ignorant invaders a lesson.
Don't be afraid! The great Queen God has begun to revive! It won't be long before our priestesses gain the power of divine magic! By then, no enemy will be able to escape!"
Following an order from the matriarch of the First Family, the power of the entire city of Menzoberranzan began to become unprecedentedly united, and soon the mages began to cooperate with the warriors to engage in a life-and-death battle with the invaders in every corner of the city.
Fire, explosions, blood and corpses could be seen almost everywhere.
Since the battles in the Underdark are not like those in the surface world where there are shouts and cries of killing all day long, these brutal battles are carried out in silence.
Only occasionally would it let out a scream or two before being injured or dying.
Especially the shadow dragons soaring in the sky, almost every time they swooped down, they would cause huge casualties to the dark elf warriors in the city of Menzoberranzan.
That horrifying negative energy breath is extremely deadly to any living being.
The gray dwarves advancing in tight formation were also very difficult to deal with. Even the drow had to pay a heavy price to deal with the combination of shields and crossbows.
"Damn it! Where on earth did these guys come from?"
Lirael couldn't help but complain after using fireball to burn a troll to death.
Although she did not want to be involved in the defense of Menzoberranzan, the invaders mistook her for one of the city's dark elves.
Drizzt wielded his two swords with pleasing movements, like dancing, and killed several ogres who were approaching him easily. Without turning his head, he shouted: "Retreat! Don't fight! We can't hold on here for long."
"clear!"
Lirael threw Grease and Web spells at the ground in front of her, then ran towards the next platform without looking back.
What a joke! She didn't want to help these evil followers of Rose to resist the threat from outside, even if she still had the name of Baenre.
Seeing that the drow girl had successfully escaped from the battle, the experienced Drizzt naturally would not continue to fight with her. He directly called for Guenhwyvar's help to deal with the two ogres. Then he jumped onto the bridge with his speed and agility, pulled the magic bow on his back, and with his skillful movements, he pulled it open and shot deadly arrows continuously.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
As a ranger, his archery skills are not as famous as his dual swords, but they are definitely top-notch.
Several ogres and gray dwarves who tried to catch up were shot by arrows, some directly pierced through the eyes causing brain death, while others fell to the ground with a scream.
The others immediately became hesitant upon seeing this, even the brainless ogres and trolls.
After all, even if a troll has infinite regeneration ability, he would not be willing to be hit by a few arrows to stimulate his pain nerves.
And it was this hesitation that gave Trist the opportunity to escape.
He quickly disappeared into the darkness with the big cat Guan Haifa, and when he wanted to chase him again, he could no longer find anyone.
There's nothing we can do about it, since our skin is naturally endowed with a protective color.
You have to know that Zhuoer's ability to hide and sneak in the dark is so good that even African black uncles can only admit defeat.
After about a few minutes, Drizzt and Lirael met in a deserted corner.
Lirael reached out and touched the Black Panther Guanhwyvar's head with a very familiar look, and then asked without even looking up: "Do you know where these enemies come from? Who is supporting them?"
Drizzt smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are putting too much pressure on me. If I had known that Menzoberranzan would be breached, I would have taken you away from here immediately. After all, didn't you successfully hand over the box?"
"Well, yes, I have given the Crescent Blade to the people chosen by the goddess. They should have set out on their journey to find the Spider Queen's kingdom now."
As she spoke, Lirael raised her head and glanced at the Underdark sky above her.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, it is pitch black and there is almost nothing there.
But in her eyes, she saw that the souls of the dead dark elves were leaving the material world in a very strange way.
Apparently, this is the "beacon" that Hester Moran mentioned.
They will point the way for all who wish to find the entrance to Lolth's kingdom.
"Do you think they can succeed?"
Drizzt asked in an uncertain tone.
As one of the very few people in this world who had seen the incarnation of Rose, it was certainly impossible for him not to know how powerful this evil goddess was.
So after learning that Heliste Moran was the person who was going to kill the Spider Queen, he immediately had huge doubts about the success rate of this plan.
In his opinion, even if action is to be taken, it should at least be done by the goddess Eilistraee.
Lirael rolled her eyes in annoyance and responded, "How should I know? But I did hear from Thors before that he didn't think the goddess I believed in could overthrow the Spider Queen's rule."
"Soth..."
Trist whispered the name that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, with a complex look in his eyes.
On the one hand, he was grateful to Zuo Si for allowing him, a dark elf who was not accepted by the surface world, to enter and exit Luskan freely. He also admired the fact that he had managed the West Coast Empire in an orderly, prosperous and strong manner, and had also built a drow city based on the belief in Eilistraee under Dragonspear Castle.
On the other hand, he had heard about the expansion methods of the West Coast Empire and the Trade Alliance. Even his hometown of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale was forced to submit to this behemoth. Countless barbarian tribes either abandoned their traditional customs and settled down to become citizens of the empire, or were ruthlessly exterminated.
Some tribes that refused to surrender could not even obtain indispensable salt and iron products, and could only wander and struggle in the wilderness.
As for raiding caravans and towns as before...
Sorry, in front of the air force centered on airships and dragon knights, these barbarians who have no organization or discipline can't even get close and will be reduced to ashes under the roar of artillery and the breath of dragon knights.
But no matter what, Trist's overall evaluation of Zuo Si is still positive.
Because he had been to many areas ruled by the West Coast Empire, he understood how quickly the income and living standards of most people improved under the rule of the empire.
The most important thing is that Trist knew Zuo Si's history of success, and knew that this planeswalker with many titles and identities had almost never made any wrong decisions, and his judgment was frighteningly accurate.
If the other party said that the Dark Maiden Eilistraee was no match for Rose, then Heliste Moran and her group would most likely be in danger.
…
Elsewhere, far away in the Astral Plane, Helister Moran and her companions have followed a group of dead dark elf souls into the Astral Plane.
At a glance, all that was left here was gray and boring endless void, and the souls were lined up neatly one after another like a straight marching column. It didn't look like they were about to enter the chaotic and evil kingdom of Lolth to receive eternal torture.
Although these souls had empty eyes, kept repeating some simple words, and moved as slowly as zombies, they had been affected by Rose's awakening.
To be precise, it is Rose's divine power that penetrates the endless gray void of the astral realm.
The colorful energy was violently agitated to form one vortex after another. Sometimes they might only exist for a few seconds, and sometimes for several hours, but they would eventually dissipate into brilliant flash showers.
The jagged black and red energy lightning that was several kilometers long cut through the endless void intermittently, tearing the starry sky into pieces in an instant.
Especially every time she heard the word "Yor'thae", Helister Moran's hair would stand on end involuntarily, as if this word had some kind of magical power that could affect her.
There is no doubt that this priestess chosen by Eilistraee is under tremendous psychological and spiritual pressure.
Because just when they entered the astral realm, the companion they had talked to in the tavern before, Sayil, had already died.
At the cost of her own soul, she protected Hellister from the onslaught of power that the reawakened Rose was sending through the astral plane.
You must know that this is not death in the ordinary sense, but the death of the soul that even the gods cannot reverse.
The only purpose was to give Helist a chance to enter Rose's kingdom and complete the task of killing her.
Not only Sayil who has already sacrificed himself, Helist believes that if necessary, her other two companions Uluyala and Filion will make the same choice without hesitation.
The feeling of watching people around you die to protect you is terrible!
Because she was afraid of disappointing these people's sacrifice and trust, and afraid that she would not be able to complete the important mission entrusted by the goddess.
If we fail, all these noble sacrifices will be meaningless.
The pain, guilt and heavy pressure will completely overwhelm her.
If possible, Helist even hoped that it would be Lirael who handed the Crescent Blade to her who would carry out this mission.
At least this drow girl's heart has never been shaken like mine, and she will not be influenced or bewitched by Rose's divine power.
It’s a pity that Eilistraee chose her in the end.
Heliste was not sure whether the goddess did this out of trust in the prophecy or trust in herself.
Just as her mind was full of random thoughts, Uluyala suddenly pointed to the huge whirlpool filled with black and bright green energy in front of her and exclaimed: "Look! What is that?"
Following the direction of the finger, the other two soon noticed this unique vortex and the vortex arms extending outward like the eight legs of a spider.
There is no doubt that the overall feeling of this vortex is like a giant spider standing in the void.
With such an obvious feature, even people who know nothing would understand that it is most likely related to Rose.
What's more, those wandering souls disappeared after entering this vortex and never appeared again.
Everything indicates that the other side of the vortex is the Spider Queen's kingdom.
"I think we've found the entrance."
There was a look of ecstasy in Filion's eyes, but then it was replaced by nervousness and uneasiness.
If you fail, even death may be a luxury.
"Are you ready?"
Helist subconsciously clenched the artifact in her hand, constantly encouraging herself in her heart, telling herself that as long as she killed Rose, all the dark elves would be freed.
"Of course! I've been waiting for this day for all these years!"
"Me too!"
The other two female pastors answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
Unlike Heliste who was constantly struggling and wavering, they were all the Dark Girl's most steadfast followers and had realized their purpose the moment they accepted the mission.
"In that case, let's take action."
赫丽丝特强作镇定的点了下头,随后一头扎进巨大的漩涡之中。
根本没有人注意到,她靠近漩涡的时候非常小心的测过脸没有去开任何一个灵魂的面孔。
当她开始感觉到自己正在被星界能量牵引、撕扯,意识在刹那之间裂成无数碎片的刹那,一个声音再次再耳边响起。
Yor'thae!
……
几乎与此同时,一支小队也刚刚通过另外一个入口进入了罗丝的国度。
他们是魔索布莱城蜘蛛教院的教长——昆赛尔·班瑞,她的外甥——费瑞恩·米兹瑞姆,崔尔主母的魔裔儿子——杰格拉德·班瑞和达妮菲·彦提尔。
感受着周围带有强烈刺鼻味道的空气,以及周围荒凉空洞的景色,身为领导者的昆赛尔明显松了一口气,立马笑着说道:“赞美女神,我们终于成功抵达了这里。”
“是啊,女神庇佑。”
费瑞恩·米兹瑞姆也跟着附和道。
不过他显然注意到了这里的不同寻常,甚至觉得罗丝已经把深坑魔网从无底深渊中剥离了出来。
因为在视线所触及到的范围内,他并没有看到包括像像卓尔死亡与复仇女神——齐雅温纱丽等其他神祇的领域,一眼望去只有蛛后神力所形成的气息。
很显然,这一整个位面已经全部归罗丝所有了。
此时此刻,三人正站在高处俯视着下方起伏不定的岩石平原。
在远处依稀可以看到流淌着酸性物质的河流与湖泊不断向天空喷射着带有强烈刺激性味道的浓烟,巨大深坑和峡谷仿佛伤痕一般割裂了地形,大地上遍布着数不清的洞穴、深坑,以及时不时会喷发出岩浆的火山口。
这个国度中没有任何植被,无论是低矮的灌木和草丛还是幽暗地域中的蕈类,一切的一切都像死一般寂静,就仿佛刚刚经历了一场灭世灾难将所有东西都破坏殆尽。
不过很快,他们就发现了一些有趣的东西,那便是一片片银色的帷幕。
等靠近之后才发现这些帷幕全部都是蜘蛛编制而成的网。
当风吹过的时候还会发出阵阵令人不寒而栗的哀鸣。
昆赛尔走到近前轻轻用手抓起一小块,立刻用充满激动且敬畏的声音说道:“这是歌蛛之网!它代表了罗丝的声音!”
“这些蜘蛛网是女神在召唤她的获选者!”达妮菲眼睛里闪烁着异样的目光补充道。
“的确如此。”
昆赛尔给了对方一个充满警告意味的眼神。
因为在她看来这项荣誉非自己莫属,任何试图想要抢夺这个未知的都会被其毫不留情献祭给伟大的神后。
达妮菲显然并不敢与昆赛尔竞争,因此很快低下头表达了退让与臣服之意。
她不是傻瓜,明白自己无论在能力、牧师等级和信仰虔诚方面都远不如这位班瑞家的高阶女祭司。
如果不出意外的话,昆赛尔对这个位置基本上就是十拿九稳。
穿过大片银色的蜘蛛网,一行人很快便看到了令自己毕生难忘的景象。
那是一望无际的灵魂正在沿着特殊的轨迹朝着某个方向飞去,他们当中既有大量的黑暗精灵,也有混血的半卓尔、魔裔卓尔,甚至还有非常罕见的人类。
这些灵魂仿佛根本没有看到昆赛尔一行人,直接从头顶穿过延伸到视线的尽头。
“真是一条壮观且波涛汹涌的灵魂之河。看来女神即将苏醒并非虚言,而是真的确有其事。”
达妮菲感受着体内正在不断涌动、共鸣的力量下意识攥紧了拳头。
因为伴随着距离罗丝越来越近,她的法术能力开始重新恢复,眼下已经可以正常施展三环以下的神术了。
“是啊!伟大的女神将指引我们前进的道路。来吧,就让我们看看究竟谁才是真正的获选者。”
昆赛尔眯起眼睛露出了赤裸裸毫不掩饰的野心。
一旦她成为获选者就意味着可以回去取代崔尔成为班瑞家族的掌权者,甚至是整个魔索布莱城的主人。
不仅如此!
女神所赐予的荣耀还将让她像当年的老主母一样受到罗丝的眷顾与宠信。
短暂的交谈过后,这支受到蛛后召唤的小队再次踏上了旅途。
他们的目标非常明确,那就是成为第一个到达女神面前并将其彻底唤醒的获选者,然后承载着这份荣耀去帮助罗丝达成她想要达成的目标。
至于在这个过程中所需要付出多少牺牲和代价都无所谓。
或者说,队伍中那几名男性实际上就是昆赛尔为女神准备的祭品。
是的,你没听错。
在这位恶毒的女祭司眼中,无论是她的外甥还是崔尔主母的魔裔儿子都只不过是随时可以牺牲掉的消耗品。
而这也正是黑暗精灵社会男性地位究竟有多低下的最直接证明。
所以许多在这次动乱中成功夺取所在城市权力的男性会对女性赶尽杀绝也就不奇怪了。
性别对立闹到这种程度基本就是你死我活的战争,根本没有一丁点缓和的余地。
与黑暗精灵一比,地球上现代社会中的男女对立压根都算不了什么。
伴随着代表罗丝和代表伊莉丝翠的队伍都进入到国度内,这场母女之间的争斗也终于到了要见分晓的时刻。
当然,另外一名参与者阴谋之神维伦也没闲着。
此时此刻的他正在磨刀霍霍,打算连老妈带妹妹直接一波送走。
为此,他已经暗中做了许多的布置,而超等尤格罗斯魔——因斯拉希斯和他麾下的军队仅仅只是一个开始。
眼下,这位蒙面之王正在自己的国度会见一位极其重要的盟友。
“你确定真的做好准备了吗?”
盗贼之神马斯克注视着对方那双充满憎恨的眼睛质问道。
维伦不加思索的点了点头:“是的,我已经准备好了。只要你愿意帮我这一次,我保证会在事后给予你难以想象的回报。只要我们联手,席文塔姆根本不足为惧。”
“可蛛后怎么办?我可不想对上那个女疯子。”
马斯克脸上浮现出似笑非笑的表情。
作为可能是整个费伦大陆最会算计的几个神明之一,他才不会傻到吃饱了撑的去招惹这位深坑魔网的主宰。
因为罗丝可不是什么理智的神明。
一旦被她记恨上,往往意味着不计代价的报复。
“别担心,我的妹妹会拖住母亲令其无暇他顾。”
维伦直截了当给出保证。
现阶段他要铲除的目标只有一个,那便是席文塔姆这个最大的绊脚石。
与天真的伊莉丝翠不同,他很清楚想要杀死罗丝就必须先除掉席文塔姆。
这位卓尔半神可是拥有包括罗丝的冠军斗士、封臣、变形蛛亲王等一系列称号,完全就是蛛后身边的一条忠犬。
只要他还活着想要干掉罗丝基本就是痴人说梦。
更何况先杀掉席文塔姆维伦就能直接夺取对方的力量让自己变得更加强大,届时说不定能暂时从弱等神力晋升为中等神力,以获得与母亲正面对抗的资本。
这也是为什么他愿意支付巨大的代价换取自己为数不多盟友——马斯克的帮助。
不得不说,这场黑暗精灵神系的内战在关系上实在是有够乱的。
因为罗丝是维伦和伊莉丝翠的母亲,维伦则是席文塔姆的父亲,席文塔姆在被祖母罗丝诱惑控制之前曾经暗恋过自己的姑姑伊莉丝翠……
换而言之这就是一场家族内部的大乱斗。
“好!我答应帮你这一次。”
马斯克在经过了深思熟虑之后果断点头同意了。
因为再怎么说席文塔姆也只是个微弱神力的半神。
而且他并不需要正面作战,只需要等维伦出面吸引其全部注意力后发动一次偷袭,不论成功与否都可以直接撤退。
“那就这么说定了。请放心,我不会忘记这份恩情的。”
眼见通往胜利的最后一块拼图到手,蒙面之王的脸上浮现出了一丝得意的笑容,仿佛已经看到整个黑暗精灵种族的信仰正在向自己招手。
达成协议的两位神祇相视一笑后同时隐没在黑暗之中。
从某种程度上来说,他们俩在神明本质上还真是相当的接近,难怪能结成盟友相互扶持。
相比之下,左思所做的准备就有点“朴实无华”了。
因为他选择直接把自己的子嗣全部召集到一起,给每个人都分配了任务。
毕竟对付荒神、类神力这样的存在,最好的办法就是也出动同样的类神力。
尽管他的子嗣在眼魔大主母、血色女王派斯凯色希丝这样的老牌类神力面前还略显稚嫩,但是骡子是马总得拉出来溜溜。
至于危险……
左思本人倒是不怎么担心。
因为在他的亲自指导下,哪怕是最晚出生的双胞胎也已经点燃火花成为了旅法师。
而旅法师加类神力的自保能力基本上是无解的。
Unless one can limit the power of the planeswalker's spark, or has a special artifact like the Immortal Sun, they can basically come and go as they please.
"Father, please rest assured. If any quasi-divine power, wild gods, or ancient evil creatures really appear, I will be there to hold them back as soon as possible."
A confident smile appeared on the handsome face of the Dark Prince Graya.
As the most obedient and mentally mature of all his descendants, he did not have a rebellious period like the other descendants, and was a good helper to Zuo Si from the very beginning.
And as he got closer to Shar, the goddess of night, his understanding of darkness and nothingness became more and more profound. He looked like a void node flickering in the material world, and he could completely devour a certain space and time with just a thought.
"Be careful, don't be too aggressive."
Zuo Si patted his eldest son's shoulder to show his closeness and encouragement.
He was now very sure that the Black Prince Graya was qualified to join the battlefield of the War of Sparks.
"Father, can we take this opportunity to eat the souls in Rose's kingdom?" the twins asked in unison, blinking their eyes.
"Haha, of course. But don't eat too much, otherwise that woman will hate you for the rest of your life."
Zuo Si imposed some restrictions on Hansel and Gretel in a half-joking tone.
Through simple training, he has basically confirmed that the camp of these two little guys should be neutral evil rather than chaotic evil, so as long as there are benefits, the two will basically be obedient.
"Hehe, that's great."
"I wonder what those evil dark elf souls taste like."
The twins looked at each other and immediately licked their lips with hungry eyes.
However, Zuo Si ignored them and turned his gaze to his eldest daughter, who was the most difficult to discipline, and asked softly, "My dear daughter, you should be able to complete the task I just assigned you, right?"
"Of course, father. With the mysterious blessing, I am not afraid of any opponent."
Anne, who could already be called a girl, lifted her skirt and bowed gracefully. She looked like a real princess and a lady from a noble family. She had lost her previous willfulness and rebelliousness, and seemed like a completely different person.
But Zuo Si knew that it was not because her character and chaotic nature had changed, but that she had temporarily surrendered to the overwhelming power of her "old father", just as even the demons from the bottomless abyss would bow their heads and surrender in front of a strong man.
If one day she gains enough power, she will still escape and resist.
But Zuo Si didn't care about it. Instead, he teased in a slightly joking tone: "Then I look forward to your performance. If you can defeat any wild god or ancient evil creature, I will teach you how to create an immortal evil god."
"real?"
Anne's eyes lit up slightly, and she was obviously moved.
"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you?"
Zuo Si reached out and gently touched his eldest daughter's cheek and hair with a playful smile on his face.
This action obviously reminded Annie of the warm and happy times she and her father had when she was little. The rebellious mood in her heart instantly subsided a lot. At the same time, she put on a very awkward look and said, "Then it's settled."
Then the whole person activated the planeswalker spark and disappeared on the spot.
"Eh——Does this count as awakening the tsundere attribute?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He suddenly realized that every time little Anne's appearance grew older, it seemed that some unknown changes would occur in her personality, just as a person's thoughts and personality would change greatly at different ages. This was obviously not the case with other heirs.
However, since the information currently available is too little, he is not yet sure whether there are any errors in his observations.
Fortunately, Zuo Si did not dwell on this issue for too long. After assigning tasks to his descendants, he immediately began to summon his Titan Legion as a reserve force ready to intervene at any time.
As a cautious person, when he decided to intervene in the war of gods, he would not only prepare one set of response plans, but at least ABCDEFG.
If necessary, he will even summon back the incarnation of Shining Oil in the Warhammer universe.
Although this incarnation does not possess the power of a planeswalker like the original body, it is no less powerful than any divine power.
In this way, without anyone knowing, Zuo Si had gathered enough power to terrify all the gods in Faerun.
Even the newly promoted Orc God Thrall received a secret notice.
Unlike Rose and Eilistraee who used their followers to test and fight from a distance, he preferred to use all his strength to directly settle the matter and not give his opponent any chance to turn the tables.
He couldn't stand a situation where the fighting went on for hundreds or even thousands of years without a clear winner.
