Chapter 123: The Plague

In fact, the matter is not complicated, but when a high-ranking descendant of Deep Water City was in conflict with the Netherworld City, he burst out very impolitely and greeted the mother of the Netherworld Prince.

"Are the people of Waterdeep so rude?"

As if he had been touched by the scales, the face of the always polite Yin Prince Brainers suddenly became gloomy, and he looked directly at the perpetrator and the public lord of Waterdeep, Pierguelen, and said in a cold voice: "If this is the attitude of Waterdeep towards allies, I don't think there is any need for us to continue working together. ”

"I don't think Mascar is at fault!"

Pierguelen, the only public lord of Waterdeep and the titular commander of the reinforcements of Waterdeep this time, said in a slightly arrogant manner: "Waterdeep and Netherworld are not allies yet, and although I am personally grateful for your help, your actions in uniting with the Blue King of the Dragon Worship Church are very disturbing. ”

In this siege of Felin Demon Kui, the Netherworld not only mobilized its own army, but also brought a new ally - a dragon lich entrenched in the Supreme Forest, the famous Blue King of the Northlands, a member of the Dragon Lich Church and one of Waterdeep's sworn enemies.

"Your Excellency the Blue King has already broken away from the Dragon Worship Church with our help!"

Brenas, the prince of the Shadows, said coldly: "This is not a reason for you to insult me, if you are not ready to apologize, I will pay it back in my own way......"

"Please!"

Piergalen scoffed, ostensibly unconcerned about the threat of the Netherworld Prince. Although Waterdeep is a tolerant city, the elect and the church of the goddess of magic have a deep influence here, whether it is the Samast of the Dragon Lich Church or the city of the Netherworld, they are the sworn enemies of the Church of the goddess of magic, and it is basically impossible for the two sides to cooperate. And as an open lord, Piergalen is protected by the Black Rod of Calburn and the other Goddess of Magic Electors, and is not afraid of the looming threat of the Shadow Prince.

"Very well, then let's look forward to our future meeting!"

The Yin Prince sneered, glanced at the electors of the goddess of magic who were paying attention to this place, but did not stand up to stop all this, and directly came to open a silver portal and turned to leave!

The departure of the Netherworld Prince represents the break between Netherworld City and Waterdeep City, and also represents the end of this operation in which all forces in the Northland work together to encircle and suppress Ferin Demon Kui.

"Is it really good to break with Yin Soul City directly like this?"

Looking at the Yin Prince who had left with a sneer, Lady Erasdra couldn't help but frown slightly, as the queen of the Silver Moon Federation, she really didn't want to have another rival at this time.

The Silvermoon Federation is always facing the pressure of the Northern Orc Empire, and even if it is an alliance with Netherworld City on the surface, it can at least ease the diplomatic environment of the current Silvermoon Federation.

"Compromise does not bring peace, even a temporary compromise with Netherworld will not bring us any good!"

Kelburn* Black Rod held the staff and said with a deep gaze: "Moreover, the power of the Netherworld City, I think you should have also seen it, the kind of shadow canopy that isolates the power of the magic net is an existence that the goddess will never allow." ”

Kelburn's words suddenly silenced Lady Erastro. Indeed, from a queen's point of view, she does want to ease relations with Netherworld, but as the Chosen and Daughter of the Goddess of Magic, she can't join forces with Shar's top thugs in any way. What's more, this time the incident of Fei Lin Demon Aoi being accidentally liberated was also because of the shadow spell of the Yin Prince, who knows if this is a long-planned conspiracy or just a simple accident?

At any time, believing in the good intentions of an opponent is tantamount to believing in the promise of the devil, which is basically a prelude to sending oneself to hell. Although Erasdra has the naivety of an idealist, she is by no means stupid, and she has experienced countless similar events in her hundreds of years of life, and she will never be naΓ―ve enough to truly believe in the goodwill of the Ghost City.

"The City of Shadows belongs to Shar, and we belong to the Goddess."

And at this moment, the Storm* Silver Hand, who was second only to Xinbu in terms of magic attainments among the Seven Sisters, also spoke, "Allies who are on the same side are more dangerous than enemies who are on the opposite side. I don't know if the Netherworld's joint proposal is a conspiracy, but instead of a vague and vague position, it is better to draw a line from the beginning, and besides, the shadow spell that my Netherworld tore through the wall of Saren has also given me a bad premonition! Perhaps, this time it's Shar's conspiracy again......"

"I understand that the people of Ghost City are not trustworthy!"

Faced with the firmer stance of Kelburn's Black Rod and his sister, Erasdra couldn't help but look up and smile, and said, "Even if we want ordinary allies, we should look for some trustworthy friends!" For example, Aelita ......"

As he spoke, Erasdral turned his gaze to Dugu Feng again: "I think that we must have a lot of common language in the matter of fighting against the evil forces of the wilderness!" ”

"Indeed!"

For Erastro's overture, Dugufeng couldn't help but smile. The break between Yin Soul City and Deep Water City, Dugu Feng is naturally happy to see it, at least, in the entire northern and western lands, after the sudden emergence of the hostile forces of the Silver Moon Federation and Deep Water City, the existence of the Baldur's Gate is naturally more important.

As the two important forces in the Northlands, the influence of Waterdeep City and the Silvermoon Federation is not limited to the Northlands, the Silver Shield family wants to establish a kingdom and establish a kingdom that unites most of West Hartland, and it is indispensable to reach a certain agreement with Waterdeep City and the Silvermoon Federation.

Originally, this was not an easy thing to do. However, now the appearance of Ferin Demon Kwai and Yin Soul City has made the pressure on the unification of the West Hartland region much less.

Among the important forces in the entire Western Soil and the Northlands, because the Silver Shield Family itself has always had a good relationship with the Church of Haim, the Church of the Lord of Crafts, and the Church of the Lord of Dawn, and after Dugu Feng agreed to join the cause of the crusade against the Red Dragon Tyrant, the various Churches of Good Gods with great influence in the Western Soil have decided to support the Silver Shield Family to unify the West Hartland region and establish a kingdom.

Now, with the support of the Elves of Ephrisca, and the possible support of Waterdeep and the Silvermoon Federation, the Silver Shield family can now immediately announce the news of their founding.

It's just that there are always accidents, Dugu Feng and Erasdra have just reached a preliminary consensus on the issue of cooperation between the two sides to fight against the Feilin Demon Kwai and the orc forces that are ravaging the Northland, but a sudden bad news from the Baldur's Gate made her have to stop further talks and exchanges with the Seven Sisters.

"A plague suddenly appeared at Baldur's Gate?"

Hearing this news, Dugu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yes, this is a plague accidentally discovered by a group of wandering adventurers, and it has attracted the attention of the Grand Duke and all the adults!"

The messenger reported to Dugu Feng with a look of happiness and anxiety: "The plague first occurred in the slums, and generally speaking, it takes a long time to be hidden before it can be detected, but we should be grateful to that team of astute adventurers, if they hadn't been helping those poor people in the slums with free treatment, they wouldn't have discovered the plague so quickly......"

"A sudden plague at this time? Looks like someone has already set their sights on our Baldur's Gate! ”

Dugu Feng couldn't help but smile coldly, the plague happened in the winter, this was really funny. At such a sensitive moment, there was a plague suddenly at Baldur's Gate, and no one would have thought that it was just a natural plague.

"Your Excellency also believes that this plague is man-made!"

The messenger continued: "This plague is very strange, no one can tell the original source, all people who have the plague will have a continuous low-grade fever, and then the body will continue to weaken, at first it is like an ordinary cold, but after a long time, it will suddenly become extremely serious, even if it is a magic spell, it cannot be directly eradicated, can only delay the spread of this plague little by little......"

"A plague that can't even be helped? It seems that it is a newly developed disease! ”

Dugu Feng smiled again when he heard this, although this world has a very convenient medical method of divine art, but the development and effect of divine magic come from gods or priests, although the divine magic of priests has an effect on most of the current diseases and toxins, but if it is some new diseases and plagues specially developed, even gods will spend a little time and energy to crack and form a targeted divine effect.

Although the magic is convenient, it is essentially the same as the vaccine of the medicine made by science and technology, there must be a process of studying the principles of disease and plague, and the treatment of magic and the new type of disease and plague are always going on in a war with no end in sight. Otherwise, there would be no god of disease and plague in this world.

"Yes, Lord Duke and all of you suspect that some evil forces hostile to Baldur's Gate are deliberately targeting us, so they have asked the prophets of Candle Castle for help, hoping to find out who is behind this plague, but there is a lot of resistance behind these masters, even the masters of Candle Castle are not sure, they can only guess that this plague may be related to the lich of the Witch's Tomb in the Troll Mountain Range......"

Listening to the messenger's report, Dugu Feng immediately understood the meaning of the message delivered by the Grand Duke of Yindun. The old lich Lavok, hidden in the Troll Mountains, is an old monster from the days of the Nethrel Empire. More than ten years ago, it came to Baldur's Gate because of something, and it brought a lot of natural disasters, so this time, as soon as the plague appeared in Baldur's Gate, everyone immediately suspected it.

"I see! You go and reply to the Grand Duke, and I will rush back to Baldur's Gate as soon as I have dealt with the matter here. ”

Dugu Feng nodded, and replied to the messenger like this. She didn't think that the plague at Baldur's Gate had anything to do with Lawalker, and Dugu Feng had dealt with the old lich who lived in seclusion in the Troll Mountains several times, and knew that he was actually an out-and-out house lich, and he had no interest in anything other than his own research.

Moreover, if there were no accidents, this great lich whose actual strength had almost reached the apex of what the main material realm could contain, should be studying the spells of life and death transformation in another world exchanged from her with all his might, and he didn't have time to pay attention to anything at all.
