The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Underground in the Elf Song Tavern, the old stronghold of the Knights of the Shield, Duke Belina Strome sat opposite the adventurers again.

Her attitude has changed. The aggressiveness in the reception room on the second floor had faded into a look of tired indifference and resignation.

However, most people present knew very well that a figure like the Duchess would not give in easily.

It turned out that her fate was to be assassinated by a Baal believer, because she was indeed seriously ill and there was no reliable defense force around her.

The emergence of the Tower King's Magic Pact changed Belina's fate. She regained control of her life that was about to be thrown away, and actively prepared to return to the political arena of Baldur's Gate.

Linde showed a very sincere attitude, "Look, Duke Steme, if we intend to harm you, whether it is to damage your health or control your mind, we don't have to be so submissive. You only have one name now. It’s valuable, and if you want to monetize this reputation, you need to find a partner.”

Belina nodded warmly, "That's true. My fellow believer, why don't you introduce yourself."

"Lind."

"This is a very... coincidental name. Have you been to Delinriel? It is said that the owner of that floating city is named De Lin. He is the most powerful follower and disciple of the Tower King."

"I've been there," Linde answered ambiguously. "That city is quite empty. It's mainly inhabited by some spellcasters. There are also travelers and businessmen from different planes, but the permanent population is still very small."

"How lucky you are. Have you ever met City Lord De Lin? I heard that he is a lonely and gloomy old mage. He can resurrect the corpses of a country with a wave of his hand. He masters legendary spells beyond the 9th ring and can easily wipe out the city. In addition, he also controls four true dragons, has a thousand beautiful elven virgins in his wizard tower, and the best halfling cook..."

When chatting about gossip, Belina was very talkative. Linde couldn't figure out whether she was trying to lighten the mood or was really curious about his own life. In short, she described Linde as an arrogant and extravagant magic tyrant. King Zhou would have criticized him when he saw it.

"My friend has seen it. He looks quite young in person, and he doesn't have that many servants. He only has a cat, a dog, and an octopus."

"Really? I really want to see it with my own eyes." Belina did not go into details, and of course she would not connect the Paladin in front of her with the Sky City Lord. "Then Mr. Linde, who are these brave companions of yours?" ?”

Everyone in the adventure team introduced themselves one after another, and the Githyanki monks maintained a cold attitude. When it was Constantine’s turn, Belina raised her hand and said, “You don’t need to say any more.”

Constantine sighed, "Belina, we can start over."

"With whom? With a mind flayer, or with Bodean?" the duchess sneered.

Karak was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "So you know his identity."

The adventurers are also curious about how close the original monarch and Duke Belina were, and even this secret of their wealth was revealed.

"I guessed it. A pillow person cannot hide it forever. At that time, I learned that he was Bodean. I was as happy as if I was kissed by the God of Love. I was sincerely proud, because I am a heroic woman, even if he has changed. Became a brain-eating monster.

"At that time, I was shameless and collected food for him. When the prisoners on death row, evil gangsters, and thieves were eaten by him, I watched them all, but I only felt happy."

Belina's mood was relatively calm when she talked about the past, but when she talked about the part where the mind flayer was eating, she started to retching reflexively. She relied on Occlumency to seal up all the traumatic memories. As long as she did not mention them, it would not affect her daily life.

Linde reminded her: "You can learn Legilimency and pull out that memory."

"I want to, but it's quite difficult. You should also know very well that although we can exchange candlelight for knowledge, not everyone has the talent to become a talent. I am still more interested in politics."

Will said in a depressed tone: "My father said that the invisible blades held by politicians are often more vicious than the visible blades. I didn't understand the true meaning of these words before."

Belina showed a look of pity, "Ravengard must have been kissed by Benshaba. First he went to Eltoril, the city that fell into hell, and then on the way back, he was killed by the Mind Flayer again. Infect."

She looked at Lind, "How do you plan to rescue Ravengard?"

"Constantine's power can help Duke Gao break free from the shackles of his mind. We can choose a good day to confront him face to face."

"Then how do you deal with his iron guards?"

"According to the information from the Iron Hand Clan, these steel toys were made by Gond believers and are connected to the Mind Flayer Mastermind. I am very sure that the Iron Guard can be paralyzed as long as the foundry is destroyed."

Belina nodded, "It seems that you are very organized, so just follow this plan and go ahead. Why do you need my help?"

"I need to resettle the refugees. This city needs a strong order, leaving it alone will lead to a lot of death and injury."

"To tell you the truth, I have a plan, but this kind of thing is not something an adventurer should worry about."

"It is indeed something politicians like you should worry about." Lind narrowed his eyes, "Do you know where I heard your name? A refugee from Livington. In his mouth, you are the Candlegiver Church in Baldur. The main person in charge of the gate, and the Tower King has no priest. Your behavior can be said to be transgressive."

Belina Steme is unflappable.

"You are blaming me, but you still call yourself a member of my church. Don't you think it's contradictory? Mr. Linde, in the final analysis, all actions of people in the world are for profit and value.

"You have to know that the Tower King is tolerant, he is like a mine, and we are diligent dwarves, digging ore, smelting and casting, worshiping the mountain as a god, but the mountain will not respond to us. He is forever silent, towering, and unfathomable.”

[Eternally Silent] Lind's expression was indescribably weird, and he almost rolled his eyes.

Belina said eloquently, "The first four mages who discovered the existence of the Tower King have now become his disciples, but they only took advantage of the King's favor to build their own organization.

"So, why can't we latecomers start anew? Like the four disciples, we are recruiting followers for the king and gathering faith. The organizational structure and efficiency of the church are far more advanced than the so-called secret meeting in the high tower."

[I don’t know what it is called] Linde: “…”

He silently recited, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, we are all family members." After calming down, he forced out a warm smile and asked curiously: "How did you join the church?"

"It's just a group of like-minded partners discussing together. This is a new organization, and it's a time when we are hungry for talents."

Belina's expression was enthusiastic again. Every ambitious politician has such a face, but some people hide it well.

She said sincerely: "The greatest help I can give you is just to join our church."

Linde finally laughed angrily: "After doing this for a long time, you still want us to work for you, right?" (End of Chapter)
