And so the time passed quietly.

The city of Modo is constantly changing, and the mainland is also coming back with not very good news.

Sauron is preparing to travel to the Eastern Realm to find out the girl who accidentally summoned her demon avatar to the material plane last time, that is, the temple that the demon avatar found in the desert area when the accident happened some time ago. Sauron sensed the breath of death in this temple, and if it was really the remains of a temple left behind by a fallen god of death, perhaps he would be able to find the mysteries related to the realm of death. Even if this is not possible, anything that has to do with death is of astonishing value!

Killing and Death.

Long ago, the two were inherently linked, and among the three gods of death there was a god of killing.

But.

Sauron had a little more to attend to before leaving.

………………

South coast, windspear hills.

This land originally belonged to the heirs of the Isabella family, but some time ago, there was a slight accident, and the main members of the family died in the attack of the evil snake people. This led to the fact that the direct bloodline was almost severed, and finally after various reasons, especially the interference of some external forces, the heir of the territory became a woman.

Adele Isabella.

Some forces in the shadows already know who is standing behind this woman, but not many people dare to stand up, because the Lord is a shadow over the south coast, and no one dares to anger him easily.

for he is Sauron.

The city of Modo needs a tentacle that extends into the interior of the continent, and establishing a base in the overseas archipelago does not mean completely abandoning the mainland, and many of the resources that Sauron needs must be obtained from the interior of the continent.

This is not possible in Port Taylor.

Since the rise of Modor City, the role of the Ocean Temple in Modor City has become less and less, and Sauron cannot directly compete with the Ocean Goddess for territory.

The City of Fortune was the lady's own place, and the hand of the city of Mordor could not be stretched too long, which could easily cause the lady's dissatisfaction.

Remove these two places. All that's left is Viper Island, Angry Sand Island, and Shipwreck Bay.

Viper Island is only a transit point in the offshore area, which can basically be ruled out, and Nusha Island is in charge of the eastern trade route, and it is also far from the interior of the mainland. Shipwreck Cove was an option, but it was too mixed with people, with many churches of gods and spirits mixed in it, and Sauron didn't want to cause too much hostility, so he had to abandon it.

Eliminate these places, and there are not many options left.

The Wind Spear Hills have always been within Sauron's layout. Even early on he had already begun to arrange plans for this side.

Adele Isabella is in charge, and it's all from Sauron's arm.

The Wind Spear Hills are not a very large piece of land.

However, there is also a convenient place here, that is, it has direct access to the Northland, and the intelligence organization of Modor City has long been all over here, and a third of the wanderers of the Half-Elf Church have been sent here.

The Wanderer's priesthood is a convenience.

In addition to training pastors, Sauron's church is constantly cultivating more wanderers.

The Sage Holocaust erupts.

The Wind Spear Hills were also within the scope of the impact, but due to the interference of the power of Modo City, the Wind Spear Hills did not receive much influence from the Abyss Demon, at least the loss of population and towns was very small, only a few villages were destroyed.

But!

The biggest problem with the Sage Havoc is more than that.

The weakening of the dimensional barrier is not just for the demons of the bottomless abyss to enter. Creatures from other lower planes are also able to enter the material plane.

Naturally, other people will take care of the general things.

Even the small things that can attract Sauron's attention are just as extraordinary, as a god, if it weren't for a legendary-level event, it wouldn't have been delivered to Sauron's hands at all.

It happened about three days ago!

………………

There is a village on the edge of the Wind Spear Hill, with a population of about 800 people, and because of its remote location, the people are fierce. The village has retired adventurers and its own militia guards.

Even if such a village is attacked by a small group of demons, it can survive on its own.

But!

Just three days ago, it was suddenly discovered that there was no longer a living person in the village, and the whole village was littered with corpses. The weirdest thing is that most of these people committed suicide!

Suicide.

That's right!

That's the problem, and that's why it was delivered to Sauron in the first place.

A little else may need to be mentioned here.

Because of the peculiarities of the soul. Also because of the rules of the multiverse, suicide is not allowed in any church of gods, and even many gods in the good camp consider suicide a serious crime. This is related to the kingdom of the gods, it is impossible to explain it clearly in a few words, but the simple summary is that the souls of people who commit suicide will be affected, and this kind of soul is not good enough, or not enough to enter the kingdom of gods, and many gods even refuse to accept the souls of suicides.

That's it in a nutshell.

There are also specific things like 'redemption', so there is no need to say more here.

- "The soul of the suicidal will go to hell!" ”

This is certainly not a joke.

In fact!

According to the rules of the multiverse, more than ninety percent of people who end their lives by suicide will fall into Batow's hell.

This is why in many evil rituals controlled by the devil, people end their lives by suicide. This is a relatively mysterious soul realm, and it may take Sauron to figure it out after entering the kingdom of God, because the mortal speculation is that the souls of the suicidal cannot meet certain requirements of the kingdom of God.

Of course.

The suicide of a group of people is not the weirdest thing, because some powerful demons can do it as well.

Often these devils return to Bato Hell after harvesting their souls, and the churches of many gods in the material plane are staring at these guys, because pan-faith is a universal thing, and these souls harvested by the devil are believers who belong to the churches of many gods. What really led to the immediate reporting of the matter to Sauron was that the suicides were all smiling and ending their lives with a distorted expression of chilling happiness.

A suicide that makes people look happy!

Sauron immediately attracted attention when he received the news, as there were very few people in his memory who could do so.

One of them is called the Poet of Hell!

………………

Wind spear hills, withered leaf villages.

Sauron's figure appeared near the village that was shrouded in the smell of death and stench. Even before the news was sent to him, the outposts of Mordor City had been monitoring the place. The civilians in the village had been dead for some time, and there was a strong smell of corpses everywhere. But the strange thing is that there are no crows or scavengers to be seen here.

Weird, right?

Crows, vultures, coyotes, and other scavengers like to feed on carcasses, and there are hundreds of carcasses here, but none of them appear, just let them decay over time.

"The devil's tricks!"

Sauron opened his eyes, and a divine light appeared in his eyes, and a blood-red aura shrouded the village in front of him, which was an incomparably evil force.

A power that belongs to the devil!

There is no soul. Even though the Divine Vision Realm had seen the Spirit Realm and the Shadow Plane through the barrier, Sauron had not found any souls.

All that remains here is the decaying corpses.

Not even a single ghost could be seen, and the devil had already harvested all the souls.

"Is it [Praise of Death]?"

Sauron looked down at the corpses at his feet, which still had eerie smiles on them, and in the far center of the village there was a ruined altar, and there were many naked corpses nearby, who had performed a ritual before they died.

A joyous and beautiful ritual that is in fact extremely evil!

"This is? …… Musical instrument! ……”

Sauron's figure fell from mid-air, and he found a recorder on the ground, next to a young man. He was supposed to be playing the recorder before committing suicide.

There were other musical instruments not far away, and perhaps they were having some kind of celebration before it happened.

"Looks like it's the work of the poets of hell!"

As the most powerful troubadour on the material plane, the Hell Poet wields some special and terrifying chanting spells, and was a powerful chant before his fall. He became famous when a large number of believers committed suicide during a certain celebration.

Revelation - Prologue to Hell.

"In Praise of Dusk".

"In Praise of Death".

Among the terrible abilities at the disposal of the poets of hell, there are too many spells that can do this.

"He's back?"

Sauron stood silent, but his expression grew serious.

Ever since Sauron killed the vampire Son, the Poet of Hell has been nowhere to be found. He was no longer visible on the physical plane, and there was no news of him in the Church of the Vampire Son of God. Sauron wasn't sure if he had gone into hiding somewhere on the physical plane, or if he had returned to Batow's Hell.

This dangerous creature has been active in Batow's hell for a long time.

"Looks like he's back."

A hint of murderous intent appeared in Sauron's eyes. The Poet of Hell did a very beautiful job this time, leaving no trace behind. Even if Sauron is a true god, there is no way to find him through other means, the soul harvest here is too clean, if even one soul is left, Sauron can find the traces of the other party.

Hell poets are careful!

He seems to have known that Sauron is in possession of the Tracedown priesthood, and when he is done, he has erased any trace of himself.

Troubadours are just a panacea profession.

However, if he is strong enough to be the Poet of Hell, he is comparable to the Legendary Ranger and the Legendary Wanderer in many basic abilities.

"Huh?"

Sauron frowned suddenly, and with a gesture of his hand, something floated out of the ashes of the campfire in front of him, a black feather, buried in the campfire, as if the flames had not burned it.

"Fallen Angels?!"

Sauron picked up the black feather and looked at it, his expression suddenly playful, and he muttered, "Did you leave it on purpose?" Or was it accidentally forgotten? ”
