One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 103 Chain Reaction

As a god who symbolizes lies, deceit, conspiracy, strife and death, Cyric's believers and followers in Faerun are undoubtedly a group of selfish lunatics who do not achieve their goals by unscrupulous means.

In particular, many of his churches were former believers and pastors of the "Three Gods of Death" who fell during the turbulent years, that is, the god of murder, Baal, the god of death, and the god of tyranny, Bane.

These people are already full of contradictions, and they each have their own small circles.

Let alone coordinating and cooperating with each other, it's lucky that they didn't fight directly.

Members of some sects and organizations even fight each other for leadership.

Murder, frame, frame, annex...

Similar things happen almost every day.

And all this is exactly what Cyric, who admires chaos, hopes to see.

Sometimes, in order to appreciate the wonderful performances of his believers fighting each other, he would even issue completely different or conflicting "revelations" and "oracles" to two high-status priests at the same time.

Then I sat by the side and watched the two sides fight for it.

Finally, some young people who are desperate for power or driven by ambition constitute the current chaotic situation of the Church of Cyric.

So when the Cyric believers in Calimport learned that the elector Malik had lost a sacrifice to the "Lord of Lies", they immediately took action by coincidence.

Among them are members of the Thieves Guild, as well as unscrupulous merchants, adventurers and nobles.

Of course, their purpose is not to help Malik retrieve the item, but to grab the item and sacrifice it to Cyric himself in exchange for more power and benefits.

If possible, it would be best to replace Malik as the new Chosen One.

As Cyric's believers acted in unison, the churches of good gods such as Irmat, the God of Suffering, Tyr, the God of Justice, Heim, the God of Guardians, and Lathander, the Lord of Dawn, who were hostile to them, also immediately became aware of the news.

In addition, the old enemies of the Harper Alliance and the Zhentarim, known as the two "shit-stirring sticks" of Faerun, also inevitably started a new round of open and secret fighting.

All of a sudden, under the cover of night, all kinds of intelligence espionage, news delivery, assassination, and small-scale battles were staged one after another.

As the true behind-the-scenes ruler of the entire Calimshan, [Entanglement Symbol] naturally cannot turn a blind eye to this.

At dawn, a detailed information was sent to "Lord of Talismans" Ragon.

After reading all the contents on the sheepskin, the Lich immediately asked in a playful tone: "What is in that box? It made the people of the Church of Cyric so violent?"

"I don't know. But there is definite news that the thing in that box was fished up by a fisherman from Baldur's Gate Harbor near the mouth of the Chongsa River. Not long after the thing was caught, his wife, children, Relatives and friends all died. Later, one of Malik's men happened to know something, and bought it for a high price."

Albenny Abbe told the truth of all the information he had collected.

"Interesting! Send someone to Baldur's Gate to investigate what is in the box. By the way, find out who owns the box." Lagon ordered without thinking.

Albenny Arbor nodded hastily: "Understood! I'll arrange for people to go to Baldur's Gate right away. Also——I have almost locked the target as to who owns the box."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lagon asked with great interest.

"Yesterday at noon, Sous took his little werewolf out of the city gate and went somewhere in the wild to hold a magic ceremony to control lycanthropy. He didn't return to the hotel until near midnight. Counting the time, his suspicion is quite Big. Most importantly, he has the strength necessary to do it."

Albenny Arbor carefully stated his conjecture.

After arriving in Calimport, Zuo Si's travel routes are often very single, and he almost never wanders around, so it is easy to deduce when and where he is.

And compared with those people or organizations who don't know anything about it, [Entanglement Symbol] is very aware of how dangerous this guy who looks like a ten-year-old boy is.

Among other things, the powerful magic equipment alone is enough to knock many adventure teams who claim to be "experienced" and "powerful" to the ground.

What's more, Zuo Si is also very good at making and using poison.

If he strikes first, the average team will not even have a chance to resist in front of him.

When Lagon heard these words, the two dim lights in his eyes flickered non-stop, and it took a full minute before he said: "If the box is in the hands of Sous, this matter will become more interesting. .Hide the news for now, and wait until the third day after he and the caravan leave Calimport, and then reveal it to those Harpers, Zhentarim and Cyric Church guys."

"As you wish!"

Abenny Abbe bowed deeply with one hand on his chest, then turned around and touched the teleportation rune, and the whole person disappeared without a trace.

...

At the same time, several humans and half-elves also gathered under the statue of the Goddess of Magic in the hidden hiding place of the Harper League branch in Calimport, discussing fiercely about the changes in the Church of Cyric.

One of the male half elves who couldn't tell the age said in a very serious tone: "Everyone! I believe you should be very clear.

Since Cyric became a god, he and his followers have created many terrible disasters, disputes and troubles in just two years.

Especially Malik, a businessman-born elector, used deceit and lies to establish a huge influence in Calimport.

Many illegal smugglers and thieves' guilds have close contacts with him.

They even cooperated with some lords of the Tethyr Kingdom, which was in war in the north, and a few profit-seeking businessmen in Amn, to arrest innocent poor people and civilians, and sell them to Calimshan as slaves.

At the same time, assassination is frequently used to get rid of those righteous people who hinder their expansion of power.

So whatever Malik is plotting, we have to thwart his plot. "

"But how to do it? We don't even know what his lost "goods" are." Another human female questioned.

Although members of the Harper League often use methods such as assassination, they are still an intelligence organization in the final analysis.

Without collecting enough information, if you act rashly, you may fall into a well-planned trap, or be violently retaliated by the enemy.

"Don't worry about that.

I've sent messages to Askatra and the Baldur's Gate branch.

They should be looking into the whole thing soon.

Now, all we have to do is destroy without stopping.

Make sure that whatever they try to do ends up in failure. "

When saying these words, the tone of the male half-elf was full of unquestionable determination.

"What about the Zhentalin Society? They will definitely intervene!"

Yet another senior Harper member who participated in the discussion raised his concerns.

But the half-elf male responded indifferently: "Don't worry! The Zhentarim in Calimport is in a fierce internal strife.

Of their two leaders, one defected to Cyric, and the other continued to serve the dead god of tyranny, Bane.

If nothing else, the guy who served Bane, the dead god of tyranny, should be very happy to cause a little trouble for another competitor.

Also, tell Khalid and Jaheira not to leave Kalimport yet.

We may need their power now. "
