A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

As we all know, arcane spellcasters, especially high-level wizards and warlocks, are often the most dangerous in melee situations.

Because when they release high-level magic, they need to continuously extract amazing energy from the surrounding magic network.

If this behavior continues for too long, it may usually result in two most direct and serious consequences.

One is that the extraction speed exceeds the speed at which the energy of the Magic Network can be replenished, causing the Magic Network within a radius of several hundred meters or even several kilometers centered on the battle area to be greatly weakened and become the so-called "weak" over a long period of time. Magic Zone".

Any spells cast within the area will be weakened or fail until it is fully restored to normal.

What's more serious, it may cause the magic network to completely collapse and create a "dead magic area", making all divine and arcane spells unable to work.

As for the other one, the collision and interweaving of a large number of different types of magic caused the rules that maintained the operation of the magic network to be broken, and countless primitive energies fell into an uncontrolled state of chaos, which was the formation of a "crazy magic area".

Although this is not as serious as the previous one in theory, it is definitely the most terrifying nightmare for spell casters.

No one knows what the effects of casting spells in a "wild magic zone" will be.

Perhaps the most trivial zero-level magic can trigger terrifying high-level spells such as time stop, big rupture, meteor burst, delayed burst fireball, etc., and it does not distinguish between friend and foe at all.

If you are not careful, you may kill yourself and your teammates together.

Of course, the lucky ones may "only" change their personality, grow a few more arms, legs, and heads, and change their race from humans to goblins, animals, insects, plants, etc., or the money on them and equipment suddenly disappeared.

Under normal circumstances, when entering a crazy magic area, almost all adventure teams and mercenary organizations will sternly warn the spellcasters in the team to absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not release even a single spell to prevent unpredictable accidents. disaster.

It can be said that except for those crazy mages who have brain problems and are not afraid of death at all, no rational spell caster will start a spell duel in the crazy magic area.

But the problem is that although these clones of Manson in front of them have regained some consciousness, the instinct in their bones to obtain more fragments to make their souls more complete has not weakened, but has become stronger.

So when the nearby magic network was disrupted into a mess, they not only had no intention of stopping, but continued to pour out spells like crazy, trying to kill the last few of themselves.

As a result, when a clone released a certain protective magic, a door to another world suddenly opened, and then an extremely twisted and evil creature that looked like some kind of beholder appeared out of thin air.

The biggest difference between it and ordinary beholders is that in addition to the many stalky eyes extending from the body of the flesh ball, the lower part also has several thick and powerful tentacles, as well as two devil-sharp horns.

The largest main eye is constantly releasing indescribable twisted energy outwards.

This is……

A demonic beholder transformed by the Eldrazi?

No!

wrong!

It should be a demon beholder that has absorbed some of Eldrazi's abilities!

The moment Zuo Si saw this thing, he immediately felt his scalp numb.

There is no doubt that it is 80% the mother of beholders located in the sixth layer of the bottomless abyss - the Thousand-Eyed Abyss. It is also a terrifying existence known as the "Great Matron". Through the war between the will of the abyss and the Eldrazi , a newly created type of beholder.

You must know that this creator of all beholders in the entire multiverse has mated with a series of creatures that are unimaginable to mortals, including demons, Grelei zombies, etc., and has given birth to countless deformed beholders.

Among them, the creator of the Grilai Corpse Demon, Apos, is even the creator of the Yugolos Demon.

As for the yugoloth demon, it can be understood as a neutral evil between the chaotic demon and the lawful demon.

They are greedy and selfish creatures, occupying an absolute dominant position in the "Jiaoyan Hell" plane (Jiaoyan Hell is not part of the Nine Hells, but an independent plane), and are keen on engaging in trade and providing mercenary services. .

Regardless of whether it is a devil or a devil, if it is given enough benefits, the yugoloth will not hesitate to join as a mercenary.

Of course, if their opponents can offer a higher price, they don't mind switching sides instantly on the battlefield, fully demonstrating the distinctive characteristics of the neutral evil camp.

It is said that the Grilai wights are a unique offshoot created from the corpses of yugoloths.

However, Zuo Si has no experience in dealing with yugoloth demons yet, and he doesn't know much about this group of races that can compete with demons and demons to a certain extent.

However, he noticed from this new form of beholder that was inadvertently summoned that the "upgraded bloody battle" he had created by himself was spreading at an unimaginable speed.

Maybe the Great Mistress and her beholder army have reached an agreement with the Three Giants of the Abyss and even the Will of the Abyss itself, and personally joined in this war, which is becoming exponentially more brutal and bloody.

After the twisted beholder appeared, without saying a word, it shot a translucent magic ray from its main eye, instantly hitting a clone of Manson.

But what is surprising is that not only did the latter not suffer any injuries, but the injuries he suffered in the previous battle actually healed.

Before the other clones of Mansung could react to what was happening, his chest suddenly exploded.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the heart, bones, and flesh spurted out instantly, reorganizing in the air at an unimaginable speed, forming a red eyeball the size of an adult male's fist.

Immediately after this eyeball, seven or eight slender tentacles extended from the inside, inserting into the clone's broken chest, eyes, nose, mouth and ears at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Just three to five seconds later, this guy's body and brain were completely twisted by the powerful force into an indescribable mass of flesh.

You can even see his hands and feet extending from the inside of the meat ball, with creepy little eyeballs growing out of the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.

There is no doubt that even for a "weird" like a beholder, such an appearance is too strange and abstract.

What's more, the beholder-like monsters formed from Mansung clones are just deformed individuals created out of thin air by the summoned beholder.

"Damn it! What the hell is that thing?"

Fuzuoer Qianberry couldn't help but shiver, and his face became extremely ugly.

"I think it's better that you don't know."

Zuo Si rarely responded in a very serious tone.

Because he is not sure whether this kind of beholders or demon-like creatures with the ability of Eldraq derivatives to distort other lives is a very small number of cases, or it has begun to spread.

If it is the latter, will it spread to other prime material planes and demiplanes with conjuration magic and rituals to summon demons?

To what extent can their strength reach? Are they equivalent to low-level slave beasts created by the Eldrazi Titans, or are they higher-level phagophages, or are they powerful enough to confront or even kill an abyss lord?

Of course, the terms slave beast, phagocytosis, and king father are actually rough classifications of the various strange creations of the three titans by the ancient planeswalkers. They are neither accurate nor enough to accurately describe the power of these Eldrazi descendants.

Some of these seemingly inconspicuous slave beasts can even cause unimaginable damage to a world.

It is entirely possible for the most powerful monarch to be swallowed and absorbed by a vampire, and turn everything into his own power.

While Zuo Si was talking to Fuzoul Chamberry, the beholder had easily killed six Manson clones and transformed them into twisted and deformed beholder-like creatures.

The last remaining one seemed to be finally no longer under the control of his instincts because he had obtained all the remaining soul fragments, and even his eyes became clear and rational.

Seeing that this "chicken-eating contest" finally came to an end, Zuo Si did not continue to hide in the dark and observe. He immediately activated the instant teleportation spell and directly entered the battlefield from hundreds of meters away. He raised his hand and released a silver fire curtain to kill the person. The magic network that plunged the area into frenzy has been temporarily repaired.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the combination of [Flash Technique], [Flash Cluster], [Flash Explosion] and [Daylight Technique] at lightning speed.

You can tell from the names of these spells. Without exception, they are all plastic magics that can instantly release energy that can blind people's eyes.

Generally speaking, even the lowest level Zero Ring [Flash Technique] is powerful enough to rival the effect of a flash bomb.

Not to mention super bright lights like [Daylight Technique] and [Flash Explosion] that are countless times brighter than the sun at noon.

In short, the white light released the moment the spell took effect completely swallowed up everything around it.

The originally dark night was now illuminated as brightly as if it were in the center of the sun.

The result is no surprise.

Whether it was the summoned demon beholder, the six beholder-like creatures it created with its own abilities, or the last surviving Mansung clone, they were all temporarily lost due to the sudden strong light. Consciousness, memory and judgment.

Zuo Si took the opportunity to activate the power of the planeswalker's spark, directly covering a total of seven beholders in it.

The next second...

Having lost the ability to resist, they were sealed in a blank card.

When the white light dissipated, only Fuzoul Chamberry, Mansong's last clone, and Zuo Si himself stood on the ground littered with corpses were left on the entire battlefield.

[Creature Card: Beholder—Twisted Eye]

[LV9 multiple cards (can be upgraded)]

[Card quality: precious]

[Effect: Summon a "Lord of the Twisted Eye" and six "Servants of the Twisted Eye" with a spellcasting level equivalent to a LV25 Warlock to serve you.

The former is one of the new forms of beholders eventually born from the Great Matron of Beholders through repeated mating with demons mixed with Eldrazi abilities.

Although extremely rare in number, they possess powerful power that surpasses the Eyes of the Nest Mother and the Eyes of the Elders.

This terrifying creature has one main eye and eighteen stalk eyes. In addition to ordinary magic rays such as petrification, dissociation, death, hypnosis, charm, and immobilization, as well as the anti-magic force field provided by the main eye, it can also Fires a special ability called a "distortion ray".

This ability directly invades the target's mental world.

If you don't have an extremely strong will, you will instantly fall into madness, and your soul will begin to twist, until you change from the inside out to become a "servant of the twisted evil eye".

A "Lord of the Distorted Demonic Eye" can emit up to six distortion rays within 24 hours. Depending on the target's strength and professional level, the abilities of the "Servants of the Distorted Demonic Eye" created are also different.

If the opponent is a creature that is good at melee combat, then the "Servant of the Twisted Eye" will take on a form that is better at melee combat;

If you are a spellcaster, you will retain some of your best magic in the form of spell-like abilities.

The "Lord of the Twisted Demonic Eye" can create unlimited "Servants of the Twisted Demonic Eye", but can only establish contact with up to six and achieve 100% absolute control.

Once this number is exceeded, a "Servant of the Twisted Eye" will randomly break away and attack any creature it encounters like crazy.

The "Lord of the Twisted Eye" can understand any language you speak and completely obey every command given until he is killed or the summons is actively cancelled.

However, the "Servant of the Twisted Demonic Eye" cannot communicate directly and can only control indirectly through the former]

[To use this card, you need to pay 25 blue mana points and 20 black mana points, or 45 general mana points]

[When the summoned "Lord of the Twisted Demonic Eye" is killed, the remaining "Servants of the Twisted Demonic Eye" will fall into madness and even kill each other. When the last one dies, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth. Time for sixty days]

"It turns out that the number is extremely rare and the distortion target has to pass consciousness identification. For the time being, the harm should not be great. But this also reminded me that I must pay close attention to the progress of this war."

Zuo Si looked at the detailed instructions on the card and touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

He suddenly began to realize that the war between the Will of the Abyss and the Eldrazi Titans was spreading much faster than expected.

In particular, if the two sides devour each other, learn each other's strengths and then continue to evolve, they will give birth to more powerful demon types to a certain extent.

Even the Great Mistress of Beholders has created new beholders based on this, so naturally there are demons blessed by the will of the abyss, not to mention.

The only good thing is that the two sides are now fighting inextricably, and most of the main forces are concentrated in the third realm, so that the demon lords have no time to carry out their previous evil plans of invading various main material planes.

"You...who are you?"

The last clone of Mansong suddenly came back to consciousness from his dizzy state, and immediately asked with a wary face.

It is not difficult to see from the slightly doubtful eyes that there seems to be a big problem with his memory, so much so that he cannot even recognize the enemy who killed him.

But it’s no wonder.

Originally, less than one-tenth of the souls that passed through the plane passage at the moment of death were broken into countless small parts and poured into hundreds of clones.

It's a miracle that they can still remember who they are and not go crazy after being reunited.

"Why, don't you remember me? I'm one of your best friends."

Zuo Si put away the card, tapped the [Mansong's Skull] hanging on his belt, then took out a robe with a smile and put it on the clone's naked body.

Yes!

You read that right!

Manson's clones were all naked and had been fighting with each other for a long time.

"friend……"

The clone's eyes showed deep confusion, as if he wanted to search his memory for everything about the young man in front of him, but the result was blank.

And I don’t know why, but I always feel an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and closeness when I see that black skull.

Just when he wanted to ask a few questions, Fuzoul Chamberry finally rushed over and asked in a hurried tone: "Where is the terrifying and weird beholder and its creation just now?"

"I have properly dealt with it. Now, you should pay more attention to this former friend. His mental condition seems a bit bad, and he seems to not remember many things." Zuo Si hinted meaningfully.

moment!

Only then did Fuzoul Chamberry remember that there was a clone of Manson beside him, and he immediately pretended to be concerned and asked: "My dear friend, how do you feel now? Do you need me to treat you?"

"Uh - are you my friend too?"

The Manson clone was obviously confused by this enthusiastic attitude, and hurriedly asked in an uncertain tone.

"Great Bane!

You actually don’t even remember me?

We have been friends since we were very young!

And including Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim, it was only under our joint leadership that they became what they are today! "

Fuzoul Chamberry held the right hand of the Manson clone tightly, his eyes full of "true feelings".

Of course, this is not actually a lie.

Because he had really formed a secret alliance with Manson a long time ago, and got rid of the conflicting lords within Zhentil Castle at that time. One controlled the secular power, and the other controlled the religious power, which made the city survive. and an important pivot point for expansion.

"Sorry, I...I really don't remember anything."

Mansung's clone covered his face with a look of pain.

Taking advantage of the moment when his attention was diverted, Zuo Si quietly injected some spiritual essence into the broken soul.

After a while, the poor guy fell asleep in a trance.

With quick hands and quick eyes, Fuzoul Chamberry held him in his arms, grinned and asked: "What do you think is the chance that I can train this clone of Manson into a loyal subordinate?"

“Probably half and half.

You have to understand that he has inherited part of Manson's soul after all, so he will be very talented in plotting conspiracies.

My suggestion is that you'd better keep it a secret in case this guy learns the truth in the future and plans a secret revenge against you.

In addition, the ectoplasm I just injected will replenish the entire soul within the next three days.

There will also be some unpredictable changes in his character by then.

The more caring and considerate you show to him at this time, the closer he will be to you in his mind.

So go for it, I look forward to seeing you grow this clone into a completely different Manzon. "

After saying this, a hint of imperceptible amusement suddenly flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and then he activated the teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace.

As for Fuzor Chambery, after continuously searching several clone hiding places and confirming that nothing had slipped through the net, he returned to his residence in Zhentil Castle, intending to play a good game of "good friends".

But this guy didn't notice at all. There seemed to be something wrong with the comatose Mansonk clone, and he always subconsciously grabbed his hand and hugged his waist...

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zuo Si.

At the moment, he was standing on the ruins-like streets of Zhentil Castle, staring dumbfoundedly at the succubus Loli kneeling in front of him with a woman whose body was stained red with blood.

Moreover, this woman has vaguely established a weak faith connection with herself.

"??????????"

What the hell is this?

Zuo Si was a little confused.

Although after becoming the lord of the ninth level of hell and possessing a unique form of great devil, he can essentially be classified as a quasi-divine power, able to accept the faith and worship of mortals, and bestow corresponding divine arts and magic. strength.

But the problem is that Zuo Si doesn't remember spreading his faith in Faerûn at all, and he has no plans or plans in this regard. He just did a small test with Atona.

But now, the number of his followers has actually increased from one to two.

"Great Lord of Truth, I am a ignorant, foolish and lost lamb, longing for your wise guidance."

Selul knelt on the ground and made a bow, then raised his head and stared at the "great existence" standing in front of him with hopeful eyes.

As a paladin who once worshiped Tyr, the god of justice, she knew very well that creatures that could establish a stable connection with mortals were either gods or some kind of powerful god-like power.

So the petite and cute loli next to her didn't lie.

She might really be able to get an answer that would make her no longer confused and miserable.

"Atona, what did you do to her?"

Zuo Si turned his head and stared at the little succubus in human form, and asked in an uncertain tone.

"I didn't do anything. I just couldn't bear to watch this paladin sister suffer tremendous mental torture, so I gave her some help and advice that I could."

Atona explained with her usual innocent expression on her face.

Due to the connection of faith, it is easy to judge that the succubus loli is not lying, and she really wants to help the other party...

etc!

Paladin? !

Zuo Si suddenly woke up and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Have you fallen?"

"Yes, I have fallen and no longer believe in goodness and order.

Because it cannot give a clear answer to the pain and confusion in my heart.

And I realized that justice could not save the people of Zhentil Castle, let alone those slaves who had clearly experienced suffering but still wanted to use violence to harm others.

I sincerely beg you to help me understand where I went wrong.

Why did my good intentions end up creating a terrible chaos and disaster. "

While saying these words, Seluer's whole body was trembling slightly uncontrollably. One of his hands was tightly holding the holy symbol of Tyr, the God of Justice, and his skin and muscles were not even cut and bleeding. A little bit of relaxation.

"I see, I think I understand what's going on."

Relying on the connection of faith, Zuo Si effortlessly figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

It is nothing more than this idealistic young female paladin who wants to take advantage of the evil to kill each other and use her status as an officer to rescue the oppressed slaves in the city.

Then they distributed food, weapons and armor to them, intending to organize and wait for an opportunity to seize control of Zhentil Castle and completely change the face of this notorious city on the continent of Faerûn.

But Serul made a mistake that all idealists make.

That is to imagine human nature too beautifully, thinking that when slaves regain their freedom, they will definitely be willing to fight side by side with them, dedicating everything and even their lives for a better tomorrow.

But in reality?

When these slaves obtained weapons and armor, they immediately changed from the status of victims to perpetrators, and began to kill, rob, and rape uncontrollably, even children under ten years old.

The entire situation completely spiraled out of control in less than ten minutes.

No one cared about Selul, a paladin, and no one was willing to listen to her leadership and orders, which eventually turned into a horrific riot.

In order to stick to the justice in his heart, Selul could only draw his sword against these slaves, killing a large number of suffering people who were originally meant to be rescued.

In addition, she witnessed the incarnation of Tyr, the god of justice, but did not give her any help or guidance. She finally collapsed completely under the series of questions from the succubus Loli and embarked on the path of depravity.

In fact, at this point, even without Atona, Selul's fall is only a matter of time.

Because this is not a shake of faith in the ordinary sense, but a serious conflict between cognition and cruel reality.

After understanding this, Zuo Si said in a slightly emotional voice: "I think you must be confused, why the slaves who should be helped and rescued in the teachings of the God of Justice suddenly turned into a group of terrible thugs, right? "

"Yes."

Seluer nodded seriously, his eyes flashing with strong expectation.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. You confused the concepts of victims and good people.

Perhaps all perpetrators must be from the evil camp, but not all victims are necessarily kind.

I don't deny that many of them are innocent and kind people, but there are definitely lunatics who have been completely swallowed up by hatred in their hearts during the long-term torture and abuse.

The anger of these people is like a volcano about to erupt. Once they get the weapons, they will not even think about running away. Instead, they are eager to kill those who have hurt them in the most cruel way, rape their wives and daughters in front of their enemies, and Killing their loved ones, friends, pets.

Because most slaves have been forced to suppress their emotions over time, as long as someone steps forward to incite them a little, a terrifying herd effect will soon form.

Even if there are some kind-hearted people who can't bear it, they will be coerced by the group in this situation.

When their hands are forced to be stained with blood and they taste the strong sensory stimulation and pleasure brought by violence, they will inevitably fall in the end.

In fact, human nature often has two sides.

Especially when you fall from good to evil, you often only need to open the shackles of morality and release the desires and beastiality in your heart. "

Zuo Si used very simple and direct language to explain the reason why the other party failed to rescue the slaves this time.

Seluer's face turned extremely pale instantly, and then asked again: "Then what do you think should be done to avoid similar situations from happening?"

Zuo Si replied very simply: "It's very simple.

When such signs are discovered, the leading guys are immediately pulled out from the crowd, then killed in public, and strict discipline is announced.

Then select those people who are willing to follow you from the crowd as lower-level officers to build the simplest command and control system.

In this way, when the reward and punishment mechanism was established, this slave rebel army also had order.

They are no longer a ragtag group of thugs, but an army that can seize power. "

"But...but if I do what you said, wouldn't it violate the principle of lawful good of the paladin from the beginning?" Selul was obviously still a little entangled.

Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head: "Haha, the paladin who advocates justice, kindness and law is certainly worthy of respect.

But with all due respect.

In many cases, the strict requirement that oneself not be stained is like an invisible shackle, firmly restricting them within a very limited range.

If you really want to do something to change the world, don't become a paladin.

Especially like rescuing slaves and leading them to overthrow the existing regime, many actions that tend to be lawful evil must be taken to win victory.

For example, violent suppression of slave leaders who wanted to start a rebellion.

Another example is using strict discipline to train slaves into qualified soldiers and prohibiting them from engaging in anything related to plunder.

If you still don't understand, consider the difference between the Church of Tyr, the god of justice, and the Harpers.

Although in the eyes of many people, they all represent goodness and justice itself.

But in fact, what the former pursues is procedural justice, that is, conviction must be achieved by collecting evidence and conducting a trial.

The advantage of this is that it is not easy to wrongly accuse any good person, but the disadvantage is that it will allow many cunning criminals to go free.

In contrast, the latter pursues outcome justice.

That is, no matter what method is used, as long as the evil people's plans can be made bankrupt and their leader is killed.

For this reason, assassination, poisoning, lying, and using others are all allowed.

The advantage of this approach is that there is no need for a series of cumbersome procedures such as investigation, evidence production, and trial.

As long as it is confirmed that a person deserves to die, immediate action can be taken against him or her.

But the disadvantage is that their approach completely ignores law and order, and can easily cause widespread panic and social unrest, as well as public distrust in the capabilities of law enforcement officials in a certain country and city.

No matter how you polish it, what the Harpers did must be classified as a vicious crime of violence.

And due to the loose decentralized management within the Harper Alliance, the person in charge of each region has extremely high authority.

Many times, they can directly determine a person's life or death based on a piece of information that they don't know whether to rely on or not.

But who can 100% guarantee that among these so-called villains who were killed, not one or two were poor people killed accidentally due to wrong judgment?

Additionally, the Harpers' unscrupulous actions often cause collateral damage.

If you ask those who have been exploited by them about their feelings, you will understand why the Harpers Alliance has done more good things, but is still spurned and disgusted by so many people.

So in my opinion, lawful good is too restrictive and it is difficult to make subversive changes to the existing state.

The chaotic camp is too arbitrary and will keep society in a state of turmoil, without understanding the importance of maintaining order.

Only lawful evil can not only build a stable social order, but also give rulers enough skills and strength to solve various problems and threats. "

"I seem to understand a little bit!"

Selul threw away the blood-stained Holy Emblem in his hand, feeling the violent beating of his heart. After a full minute, he said: "You mean that lawfulness is necessary, but evil is just a means, not Result. When you want to do something you think is right, don’t care whether the behavior in the process is good or evil. As long as the final result meets expectations, it is considered a success.”

"That's right! This is also the reason why most of the upper-level rulers in the entire Faerûn continent are from the lawful evil camp.

Politics is an art of compromise, and it is also the embodiment of the dirtiest and ugliest side of human nature.

A good person in the traditional sense cannot become a qualified player in this game.

Therefore, those excellent rulers who are truly praised by the people actually use evil means to do good things.

They will use all means to suppress dissenting voices, suppress or even kill their political opponents, and promote policies that they believe will bring economic prosperity.

Economic prosperity benefits everyone.

Believe me, for the people, nothing makes them happier than watching their lives get better day by day. "

After saying these words, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers to clean up the large area of ​​dried and hardened blood on the female fallen paladin.

"Thanks for the tip!

Not only did I understand where I went wrong, but I also understood what path I should take in the future.

From today on, I am your most devout believer and take it as my duty to spread your teachings and beliefs.

All rulers should listen to your deafening voice and understand your wise theories. "

Seluer's whole body trembled with excitement, took one of Zuo Si's hands, knelt on the ground and kissed it passionately.

After a while, the faith connection extending from her body became clearer, followed by a group of [evil auras] falling from the sky, and [Dark Blessing] appeared with it.

You don't need to ask to know that this fallen paladin has completely transformed into a dark guard who believes in Zuo Si, which is the opposite of the paladin.

After the fall, most paladins will choose to become Blackguards rather than other professions based on their lawful characteristics.

After all, the higher the level of the paladin before the fall, the stronger the additional abilities he will gain after becoming the Black Guard after the fall.

"Tell me your name, believer."

Zuo Si stared at the second woman who had established a faith connection, feeling dumbfounded in his heart.

He still can't believe that he has unintentionally poached Tyr, the God of Justice.

You must know that every paladin has a soul as precious as gold, whether it is holy or fallen into darkness.

Since the other party took the initiative to come to your door, there was no reason to let him go.

"My full name is Selul Anji."

The woman gave her first and last name without thinking.

Especially when her last name was mentioned, she obviously showed strong resistance.

"Selul Anji?!"

A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Si's face, and he instantly thought of a series of things based on this name.

If I remember correctly, if he hadn't appeared, the fallen paladin in front of me would have led a group of men to rise quickly after Cyric completely destroyed Zhentil Keep, and become the actual control of this devastated city. By.

However, due to being targeted by a pit fiend named Orgus, Seluer Anhui soon fell into the trap carefully laid by the former, and eventually became the black guard who resurrected the god of tyranny, Bane.

For a long time, she was the second-in-command behind Fuzor Chambery. Not only did she have outstanding personal combat capabilities, she was also an excellent commander and lord.

Found a treasure!

After understanding the value of Selu'er, Zuo Si immediately showed a very friendly smile, raised his hand and gently touched the other person's cheek and slender white neck, then whispered in his ear: "Selu'er" Er Anji, your destiny is destined to be extraordinary. Now I give you the power from hell, and I hope you can make good use of it."

As the last word blurted out, a mark unique to Zuo Si was directly imprinted on the soul of the fallen paladin.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of energy from the ninth level of hell was continuously injected into the armor, weapons, body and soul along the fingertips.

In less than half a minute, Seluer's metal armor turned dark black with dark red patterns.

The sword in his hand even showed the flames of hell with evil damage.

As for the physical changes, the changes were relatively minor, with only a complex pattern like a six-pointed star appearing on the invisible back.

After all this was over, Selul slowly opened his eyes, feeling the astonishing power filling his body, and said in an impassioned tone again: "My Lord, please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to you. Your generous gift is a grace that I will never be able to repay in my lifetime. The only thing I can do is to sacrifice myself and become your ambassador in this world.”

"Go ahead and do whatever you want to do and think is right. I look forward to your surprises."

After that, Zuo Si casually summoned a purgatory horse and gave it to his dark guard as a mount.

Seluer stood up and put one hand on his chest and bowed, then got on his horse and ran towards the outside of the city.

She has completely lost interest in the city of Zhentil Castle and plans to travel to other parts of Faerûn to see if she can find a suitable ruler to spread the knowledge and ideas she learned today.

Watching this young woman go away and disappear into the night, Atona came over and asked: "Master, is Selul also your believer like me?"

"Ah! Yes.

But she chose another path.

To be honest, I don’t even know how far she can go, let alone what step she can take.

But it doesn't matter.

Compared to what she could achieve while alive, I am more looking forward to what surprises her soul will bring to hell after death. "

After that, Zuo Si touched Succubus Loli's little head and at the same time sent a retreat signal to Wilmes, who was still keen on robbery.

After the red dragon from purgatory reluctantly came back dragging a box full of treasures, he activated the teleportation magic and collectively returned to the mage tower in Askatra.

But he did not stay too long, and immediately set off for the Hazy Realm, intending to test the mysterious ancient god of death, Yeager...
