One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 165: Chasing soldiers are approaching

"No! It's not as simple as robbers and monsters! I found an altar dedicated to Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and it's obvious that sacrificial activities have only been held recently. Judging from the footprints on the ground, there are at least dozens of people."

Jaheira was straightforward about what he had seen.

As a member of the Harper Alliance, she has a considerable understanding of the evil organizations operating along the west coast of Faerun, or the church of evil gods.

Especially the Church of Talona, ​​which would immediately spread the plague as revenge as soon as the missionaries were expelled, has always been the focus of many Churches of Good God and Harpers.

After all, the plague is not an ordinary conspiracy. Once it spreads, at least a thousand people will die.

This is why, except for places like Neverwinter, where the lord is a follower of Tyr, the God of Justice, most other cities dare not easily expel Pastor Talona to preach.

Similarly, when Zuo Si heard the name of the Goddess of Poison and Disease, she immediately recalled the warning from the God of Suffering. The ruins of Fort Tessel gathered? Did they have a secret base here before, or did they gather all of a sudden?"

"The altar looks quite new, it must have been erected not long ago. Do you know something?" Jaheira's eyes flickered with suspicion.

"If nothing else happens, these Talona followers should be looking for me."

Zuo Si didn't try to hide anything, but told the truth openly.

Because he is not the only one who knows about this matter, but also the lady paladin who believes in Irmat, the god of suffering.

The latter's honest character of answering questions will not keep secrets for him.

"Looking for you? Why? Could it be that the Church of the Goddess of Poison and Disease also participated in the fight for that box?"

A series of speculations flashed through Jaheira's mind.

It may be due to her long-term membership in the Harper Alliance, she has clearly begun to tend to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist.

Zuo Si shook her head lightly: "No! Of course not! Didn't I just say that their target is me, not that box. You can ask Eloline about this matter. She should know More than me."

"Eroline?"

Jaheira turned around and glanced at the young girl not far away who was helping to distribute food to the slaves, and subconsciously frowned.

From this reaction, it was not difficult to see that, as a druid and a harpist, she couldn't get along well with a rigid and inflexible paladin.

After all, the druid's idea of ​​maintaining the balance of all things is in irreconcilable conflict with the absolute order pursued by the paladins.

In addition, the harper's unscrupulous approach to fighting evil is also quite unpopular with paladins.

So along the way, the two didn't have much communication at all, they just barely knew each other's name.

"That's right! When the caravan was just about to leave Calimport, Eroline acted like I conveyed the warning from Irmat, the god of suffering, saying that Talona and her followers were looking for me."

After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the reactions of Jaheira and Khalid, and walked straight towards the ruins overgrown with weeds and vines.

With the werewolf girl's excellent sense of smell and tracking skills, he found the location of the altar without any effort.

I saw a purple triangle emblem hanging on the wall of a piece of rubble, and there were three Amber-colored tear stains on the emblem.

no doubt!

This is the holy symbol of Talona, ​​goddess of poison and disease in Faerûn.

She was originally a servant of Baal, the god of murder, like the goddess of pain and torment, Ravita.

However, since the three death gods all fell in the turbulent year, the two female gods have a little intention of defecting to Shar, the goddess of the night.

Zuo Si raised his hand and touched the holy emblem lightly, and immediately felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

fortunately!

He reacted quickly enough to withdraw his hand in an instant.

"Master, are you okay?"

Davidian, who has turned from an elite veteran to a dragon-born knight, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

You don't need to ask to know that this name was chosen by Zuo Si recently, in order to distinguish it from the newly summoned long-range shooter Huntington.

As for his original name, which has long been forgotten, I am afraid that only the owner of the "inheritance" knows it.

In fact, most of the creature cards obtained by drawing cards, especially intelligent creatures, basically have no names.

It's as if Zuo Si made those orcs, trolls, ogres, half-titans, and snake mages into creature cards, and didn't care what the opponents were called, let alone wasted effort to keep them all. memory of value.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just taken aback. Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and the church of Cyric, who is chasing after her, it seems that tonight may not be too peaceful." Zuo Si eyes There was a chilling light in it.

"You mean... there will be a fight?"

The half-orc Rhett, who finally put on the red dragon armor he had dreamed of, gently stroked the Frost Mithril battle ax he had just obtained in his hand, and grinned cruelly and bloodthirsty.

Right now, he was eager to find a powerful opponent to test how powerful his powerful magic equipment was.

"Not necessarily, but I think it's very likely.

Don't forget, the caravan wasted four full days in Myratma.

And it was on the third day after we left that Calimport began to spread the gossip.

Counting the time, those lunatics who believe in the dark sun should also catch up.

The reason why they didn't do it right away.

Either because in the city, no suitable opportunities were found;

Either they are frightened by the chaotic magic storm I created outside the city of Miratma, and they are contacting and waiting for more allies to arrive before they can fight together.

No matter which reason it is, it means that this battle will not be too easy.

After all, these guys are not ignorant, stupid and ignorant monsters, but humans with wisdom like us, and there may be a considerable number of priests. "

Zuo Si touched his chin and analyzed meaningfully.

After all, Cyric is a mighty power

Although the management of his church is extremely chaotic, there are many factions on the top of the mountain, and poisoning, assassination, and dragging each other happen almost every day.

But none of this means that church members are of poor quality.

Just the opposite!

Almost all the guys who survived this extreme "involution" are "talented".

In addition, people in the chaotic and evil camp basically have no integrity or bottom line, they are all despicable and insidious, and they come as they please.

If you're not careful, you might end up capsizing the gutter.

"It doesn't matter!" Alena shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, just burn all the enemies you see to death."

Zuo Si glared at his entourage, and warned directly: "Be careful! Don't set fire to those valuable goods on the carriage. Otherwise, even if you reach Askatla safely, you don't want to drink. Yes Now, your spellcasting level was raised while in Meratma, wasn't it?"

"That's right! I'm a LV8 warlock now, and I also learned a four-ring spell."

Alena gave an affirmative answer with a proud face.

However, Zuo Si didn't show any happy expression when he heard the news. Instead, he continued to ask: "Isn't the four-ring spell you learned is [Fire Wall]?"

"How did you guess that?"

Alena blinked in surprise.

"It's still a guess?" Zuo Si rolled his eyes directly. "Open your own spell list and take a good look. Except for the [Magic Missile] at the first level and the [Invisibility] at the second level, which one is not the fire magic of the evocation system. But anyone who is not a fool knows that every time you upgrade , there is almost a 90% probability that you will get a new fire spell."

Pooh!

The half-orc Rhett couldn't help laughing.

Alena herself was completely speechless...
