Chapter 5: Infiltrating the Shadow Net!
A civilization is not something that a few people can hold up.
Just like today's Modo City, although it has a lot of cutting-edge alchemy technology, the only thing that can really be popularized is the magic street lamp. But even if it is just a magic street lamp, it needs a group of mid- and low-level wizards to check and maintain it on a regular basis, and as for the golem factory with more high-end alchemy technology, the casters for daily maintenance are more than double digits. Usually, if there is any damage to the golem puppet, these things also need to be carried out by mid- and low-level spellcasters.
It can be said that without these low-level spellcasters, it would be difficult for Golia to have enough time and energy to study.
The same can be said anywhere.
Cutting-edge experiments can also rely on the power of geniuses, but popularization and maintenance require a lot of low-level manpower. The collapse of the magic net means that the difficulty of Sauron's floating city plan has skyrocketed, and the loss of a large number of mid- and low-level wizards will make it quite difficult to maintain the floating city in the future. This is also true in other civilizations, where scientists have discovered a lot of important knowledge, but in the end, it takes countless workers and scholars to advance the overall process of civilization.
The collapse of the magic net is a sign of the end of the Dharma era.
Looking at the long history of the multiverse, most of all the eras that can be called [interstellar civilizations] have been established on the magic web.
Otherwise, the wizard will become a mysterious figure.
Although there are not many wizards in the physical plane today, because of the magic net, traces of wizards can be seen in almost every town. But if there is no magic net in the future, it will be difficult to see the traces of wizards even in big cities.
Click.
Sauron sat in the hall and pondered, he frowned slightly at the moment, and muttered, "The magic net finally collapsed!" In that case, what about my plans for the Floating City? ”
The power of the web is controlled by the goddess of magic.
If he could, Sauron wouldn't want to see the web disappear. Because the era without the Internet is a sad time.
"Where is the Goddess of Magic now?"
"Has there been a fall?"
Sauron glanced up at the window and whispered, "If the Goddess of Magic falls, the new heir will be able to regain the power of the magic web." ”
"The same web will be repaired."
"In the current situation, am I going to execute Plan B or Plan C?"
The fall of the Goddess of Magic was inevitable in its original history.
Although Sauron helped the Goddess of Magic survive the first crisis, he was still unable to prevent the collapse of the web. The only effect is that the goddess of magic is now missing, but not dead.
The collapse of the web was one of the most critical factors in the Sage's Havoc.
So Sauron had a backup plan for a long time, and it was Sauron's plan A that first helped the goddess of magic, and now it seems that Plan A has failed.
Because the web is gone.
As a man who is accustomed to scheming, Sauron certainly doesn't have only one plan, he has two other plans to spare.
For example, Plan B.
In Sauron's original plan, if the Goddess of Magic could not escape the fate of death in the end, then he would turn around and help [Lady Silvermoon] gain the power of the Goddess of Magic. Because Lady Silvermoon herself is one of the creators of the birth of the Goddess of Magic, with her abilities, she can completely replace the Goddess of Magic to repair the network of gods.
Of course.
In addition to this, Sauron had a plan C in his head.
It's a much bolder plan. And it was also something he thought of after he was promoted to medium divine power. Because today's goddess of magic [Midnight] used to be just an ordinary witch, she was made a god because she inherited the power of the goddess of magic. If Sauron has enough cards, he might be able to try to help someone get the priesthood of the Goddess of Magic.
Like Goliath, or the Fallen Witch.
Plan C is very difficult! But it's not impossible!
Anything can happen in a turbulent year, and there are many mortals who have been canonized as gods in the original history, and it is naturally not impossible to take the priesthood of the goddess of magic from the gods. It's just that if Sauron did that, there would be too many enemies to face. After all, this is a priesthood with [powerful divine power].
And.
If you really want to tell the truth, with the power of Goliath or the Fallen Witch. Not enough to master the power of the goddess of magic.
There was only one way for Golia to obtain the magical priesthood, and Sauron would take the power of the priesthood and then transfer it to her, making her a god directly in her mortal form.
"Magic Web."
"Shadow Net."
Sauron frowned and thought as if hesitating, muttering, "I hold the [Shadow] priesthood, and I also have the rank of an Arcanist. ”
"So!"
"Can I try to get or create something like the Shadow Web?"
The real magic net Sauron is unthinkable.
But if it's a shadow net. Sauron felt that there was a slight possibility, because his control over the shadow plane was very powerful.
At the beginning of the creation of the Shadow Net, the Night Lady was confined to the Dark Realm.
The Night Lady is not a pure spellcaster, she is just an ancient deity whose career direction is closer to that of a wanderer. There are many similarities with the current Sauron.
The profession of the Night Lady must be mentioned here.
She is a [Wanderer, Part-time Shadow Warrior, Part-time Assassin, Part-time Warlock, and Part-time Shadow Manipulator]!
And Sauron's current profession is [Wanderer, Part-time Shadow Warrior, Part-time Wizard, Part-time Arcanist]!
Isn't it alike?
That's right!
Both Sauron's and the Nightlady's careers are very similar, and can even be said to be of the same genre.
The biggest difference at the moment is that the Night Lady is a part-time spellcaster in the Warlock department, while Sauron is a part-time spellcaster in the wizard department.
Perhaps Sauron is still far from the Night Lady's abilities.
But what if it's just a small regional magic net?
With the power of the [Shadow] priesthood and relying on the power of the Shadow Plane, will Sauron be able to establish a small regional magic net that will envelop the vicinity of Modor City and the Shadow Plane?
Quite possibly!
The more Sauron thought about it, the more he felt that he was able to do this.
But.
He was missing the most important part of this, which was to acquire a priesthood related to magic, magic webs, and mysteries. He had to obtain such a priesthood realm before he could try to emulate a shadow web himself.
Otherwise, he would not have succeeded!
The existence of the magic network relies on the power of the priesthood, and without magic-related priesthood, Sauron does not even have the basic ability to build a magic network.
