Dead birds will track the traces of death.

To put it simply, only places where a lot of people have died will actively attract the appearance of dead birds. The appearance of a dead bird in the city of Modo is not very strange, because a terrible catastrophe has caused great casualties, and the number of missing and dead people is probably close to a thousand. This scale is likely to attract Deadbirds, and if there is a hole in the plane barrier, it is not surprising that Deadbirds will appear in Modo City.

But!

It's strange that the Death Bird is here in front of me.

First of all, there are no dead people in this area, and it is so close to the primeval forest that it is impossible to put it here even if a war breaks out. Moreover, as far as Sauron's current god-level perception is concerned, there are only three people here, and there is no breath of death, so it is unlikely that it will attract the Death Bird to appear, let alone the Death Bird that has been watching them.

Ildis also seems to be a little weak-hearted by the Death Bird, this thing is not not killed, it is not not killed, it is possible to offend the Grim Reaper if it is killed, and it feels awkward to look at it if it is not killed.

After the death of the Dead Bird, the soul returns directly to the hands of the Grim Reaper.

Because they are creatures created by the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper can see most of what it saw during its lifetime through the soul of the Death Bird after the soul returns. (Note: Things seen within 12-24 hours of life.) ）

Could it really be that the Grim Reaper is watching them?

Sauron felt unlikely.

Although the Sage Havoc also affected the god of death, it should not have a great impact on the god of death, if Sauron is not mistaken, the god of death can choose not to fall into the mortal world, but to fall into the spirit world and the shadow plane connected to the mortal world.

"Which Grim Reaper will it be?"

Sauron's footsteps followed the witch in front of him, but his mind kept thinking, now it's better to leave first, and see what the goddess of magic in front of him wants to do in this form.

There are currently three of the most powerful Grim Reapers.

The first is the [King of the Dead] - Kranvo, one of the sons of the plane favored by fate, who successfully became a god as a mortal. Inheriting the powerful power of the ancient god of death, Jecob, he became the most powerful god of the death god system. The second is the sealed [God of Murder], he also holds a part of the death priesthood, but the focus is still on the killing field evolved from death, he has been sealed for a long time because of his madness, and it is basically impossible to escape now.

The last one is the Grim Reaper-Naraku.

An equally powerful Grim Reaper, but he is known as the Enemy of Good, the Abomination of Life, the Messenger of Darkness, and the King of Gloom. The evil presence of the Flesh Reapers.

In addition to these three, there are other gods who hold part of the priesthood of death, such as the goddess of death in the desert, Osiris (the god of death of Muhamrid), Urogalan (the god of death of the halfling god line), and some other races of death. But these are the unruly gods of death, and their kingdom is not established in the underworld, but only in part of the realm of death. These gods are largely negligible, as the Death Gods do not include them.

"Is it the King of the Dead?"

Cranvo is often referred to as the Lord of Eternal Sleep. His doctrine that the dead should not be disturbed, and pastors are often active around the world to appease the spirits of the awakened undead. He was the lover of the current goddess of magic during his mortal days, and the two of them were consecrated at the same time by the favor of fate. However, after becoming gods, their lovers were shattered.

For a long time.

The King of the Dead has a vague attitude towards the Goddess of Magic, as the current Goddess of Magic is not the previous Goddess of Magic, but she is not his lover either.

The name Mystra has always been used by the goddess of magic, and each goddess of magic is actually a complex.

It was as if Sauron's fused divinity and divinity. He could use his strong will to erase the residual consciousness of the previous gods, but Midnight (the goddess of magic's mortal name) couldn't do that at the time, when he was a mortal god and still relied on the gift. So, the current goddess of magic is a synthesis of two consciousnesses. She inherited the memories and thoughts of her mortal days, but also the memories and thoughts of the previous goddess of magic.

This is a kind of resurrection.

A slightly gentler way to resurrect than the Dreaded Demon God, and the second goddess of magic was resurrected in this situation.

So, after becoming the goddess of magic, the relationship between the two couples became a little strange.

It would have been nothing.

However, in order to get revenge on them, the God of Murder stabbed them in this relationship, and the Lord of the Dark Sun used a conspiracy to completely destroy the relationship between the two lovers before he went completely insane, making them almost strangers.

The mortal mind is fragile.

Promoted to the status of a mortal, the mind, spirit, and soul are all changing, and these two gods have changed more than Sauron, and the short memories of the mortal period have finally disappeared into the long river of history.

Subsequently.

The emergence of the Son of Slaughter, the rise of the Arcane Empire, the destruction of the Arcane Empire, the fall of the Father of the Oak Tree, and more.

After a long period of time, their relationship has finally been diluted a lot.

The two gods seemed to have become less and less asympathetic, and the goddess of magic only maintained a relatively close relationship with Lady Silvermoon for a long time.

"The King of the Dead is more likely! But the possibility of Death-Naraku is not ruled out! ”

"He always seems to want to destroy the living."

The Grim Reaper-Naraku is an extremist who believes that death is the ultimate destination, so he is often referred to as the "Life Hate", he has a poor relationship with the King of the Dead, and there are also many internal struggles within the Grim Reaper.

Sauron wasn't sure what the Death Bird represented, but he knew that the fall of the Goddess of Magic was not that simple!

………………

Tens of kilometers away.

After making sure that the Deathbird hadn't followed, the witch in front of her finally stopped.

Ildis walked quickly to the witch's side and said with some courtesy, "Your Excellency. Are you done? ”

The witch shook her head slowly and said lightly, "No." ”

"You can call me midnight. Your Excellency is a title that can easily cause some trouble. ”

Your Excellency is an honorific title.

It is generally used to refer to a legendary professional, or a person of very noble status.

Midnight?!

Sauron shuddered when he heard the name, and then he became more and more sure of some of his guesses.

Midnight was the name of the goddess of magic in her mortal days, but it has faded into the history of history, and she hasn't used it for thousands of years. Especially after the relationship with the king of the dead, Kranvo, deteriorated, and this name did not appear in any books related to her.

Mortals know almost nothing about the name.

The most important enemy of the Goddess of Magic is the Night Lady, and her close alliance with the Silvermoon Lady is more often due to the fact that they share a common enemy.

The Night Lady secretly created the Shadow Magic Web long ago to fight against the Lady of the Silver Moon and the Goddess of Magic. The Goddess of Magic saw the Night Lady's actions as a direct threat to her priesthood, and her close relationship with Silvermoon grew. For a long time, the ultimate goal of the Goddess of Magic was to incorporate the Night Lady's shadow magical web into her priesthood, even if it meant sacrificing the last remnants of her humanity and good nature in order to merge with that dark force.

This is where the change of the Goddess of Magic begins.

For the sake of her ultimate goal, she threw away a few things and prepared to fuse the shadow net. This change also made her relationship with the King of the Dead worse and worse, and eventually she became almost a stranger.

A somewhat dilapidated town appeared ahead.

By this time, it was not early.

Ildis proposes to rest here now. Sauron didn't have any opinion, and the witch in front of him nodded silently.

It is a war-torn town.

The lizardmen's riot was not resolved, the guards on the sentry post watched everyone vigilantly, there were not many guests in the inn, and the boss seemed a little apprehensive about the appearance of the three wizards.

Night falls.

A figure appeared in Sauron's room.

Sauron, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the witch in front of him, got up, and made an inviting gesture towards the table next to him.

"You're looking for me?"

The witch's expression was cold, and Ildis was by her side during the day. A lot of things can't be said because this mortal doesn't know who she is.

Sauron doesn't show up for nothing.

The goddess of magic wouldn't believe that he had happened to meet her, so her expression was cold at the moment, and there was even a hint of hostility.

Sauron met the other party's gaze and said directly, "Yes." ”

"I'm looking for you."

"And hope to help you a little."

Help?

The goddess of magic was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then his expression softened a little, sat down on the table and chair next to him, and said slowly: "What help?" ”

A divine brilliance emerged.

The goddess of magic looked at Sauron in front of her and said slowly, "Sauron. ”

"The god of half-elves and wanderers."

"Humanity beyond fate."

"In just two years, a mortal has been promoted to godhood! …… Some time ago you killed the King of Predators and inherited his Quest priesthood. It's no surprise that you were able to find me. But I'm curious why are you helping me? ”

Sauron's expression was slightly surprised, "You know me? ”

As a complete new god, he was a little surprised at what the Goddess of Magic knew about herself.

"Of course."

A playful smile appeared on the corner of the Goddess of Magic's mouth, and she said slowly, "You don't seem to understand the world of gods very well!" …… That's right, too! …… You became a god just before the turmoil came! …… I haven't entered the realm of the gods! ……”

"The gods have been silently watching you."

"At the moment when you lift up the throne of God! …… They are already watching you! …… Let's be honest. Your presence has inspired many gods to threaten! …… Because they think you're growing so fast! ……”

"Very lucky."

"The arrival of this catastrophe has left them with no energy to take care of you for a while, otherwise as a new god you will need to learn to adapt to some rules! ……”

Sauron was silent.

After a moment, he raised his head and smiled at the goddess of magic in front of him, and said slowly, "Okay. I'm done talking. Maybe we should talk about you next. ”

"For a long time."

"The goddess of magic always seems to be unable to escape a fate! …… Maybe you've already felt it! ……”

"Right?"

Hearing Sauron's words, the face of the Goddess of Magic changed dramatically!

Time.

The atmosphere in the entire room became solemn, as if there was an irresistible force of magic that kept everything out of the physical plane.

The first goddess of magic, death.

The second goddess of magic, death.

The third goddess of magic, who is dying.

This is their fate!

It seems that every goddess of magic cannot escape death in the end, and they are more likely to fall than other gods.
