"Sunshine?"

Ms. Erastro also glanced at the sky as Dugu Feng learned, and stretched out her hand to feel the real sunshine, and said with a smile: "The sunshine without shadows is indeed the real sunshine!" ”

Dugu Feng couldn't help but smile, it was obvious that what Erasdra said was not the same thing as what she sighed about. However, Dugu Feng didn't mean to explain, he just glanced at the Yin Soul Mage not far away, and then pointed to the Black Forest not far away, and said, "Compared to these orcs and Ferin Demon Kui in the Northland, I don't think the Yin Spirits are our primary enemy. ”

Orcs are not native to the world of Torrell, and like the elves, they are invaders who have migrated from other worlds. It's just that unlike the elves, who first crossed over from the elven god Corellon and then created the elves, the orcs were because a group of dead mages opened a portal to the world where the orcs were, and as a result, a large number of orcs and their gods swarmed into the world of Toriel.

Although it does not have a powerful magical civilization like elves, but with the blessing of strong vitality and reproductive ability, the orcs have long taken root in the Faren Continent, firmly occupying the position of one of the mainstream races in the continent.

The Silvermoon Federation's greatest enemy has always been not Luskan, not Netherworld City, but the Orc Empire entrenched on the spine of the world.

As early as more than 200 years ago, the orc lord god grasped the pulse of the times and began to issue oracles to rectify the orc kingdom, gather the originally divided tribes one by one, and unite under a unified orc king. Today, the orcs of the Northland are no longer the stragglers they once were, but a truly organized and disciplined kingdom.

Over the past 200 years, the Silvermoon Alliance and the Orc Empire have fought countless times, and with their powerful magic and brave warriors, the people of the Northland have repelled the Orcs on several occasions.

It's just that in today's era, the loose alliance of scattered city-states, towns, and tribes has gradually stopped adapting to the development of the times, and there is a huge gap between the power that a loose city-state alliance can gather and the power that a unified kingdom empire can gather. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, the Silver Moon Alliance has been struggling to face the large-scale invasion of orcs.

Erasdra has been lobbying for a unified Northland kingdom, not just because of his own dreams, but also because of the reality of the Orc Empire's aggressive tendencies.

The competition between civilization and the gods makes it necessary for any individual, family, nation, race, and even god in this world to be vigilant against the actions of their opponents at all times, and not to be slack or weak. In this environment of intense competition, the only fate of backwardness and conservatism, whether mortals or gods, is death and fall. Therefore, even if the gods are unwilling to see the continuous progress of mortal civilization, but in the need of competition among the gods, they have to follow the trend of the times under the pressure of competitors, and advance the civilization of the entire continent from the era of loose city-states to the era of mature kingdoms and empires.

Lady Erastro naturally understood these truths, so she shook her head a little helplessly, and said with great regret: "You are right, compared to the Yin Soul City that has just returned to the main material world, the Orc Empire in the north poses a greater threat to us, but, unfortunately, ......"

Erasdra said this, sighing again.

However, Dugufeng understood the unfinished meaning of her words. Mystra, the goddess of magic, and Shar, the goddess of the night, have always been mortal enemies, although ethically speaking, the goddess of the night, Shar is one of the mothers of the goddess of magic. However, in the eternal war between the two goddesses of creation, Shar and Suren, the goddess of the moon, Mystra, the goddess of magic, preferred the latter mother.

And, as the goddess of the night who has always wanted to return the world to the state of silence and darkness at the beginning of its creation, Shar has always been obsessed with reclaiming the essence of magic torn from her, and for this reason, she also deliberately created the Shadow Demon Net, coveting the power of the magic web and the goddess of magic all the time.

Therefore, as gods, the goddess of magic and the goddess of the night are absolute mortal enemies, and the conflict between the two is irreconcilable. And Silver Moon City and Yin Soul City, which are important forces under the command of the two goddesses, are naturally not truly peaceful. Even Erasdra realizes that in a practical sense, the greatest threat to the Silvermoon Alliance is the Orc Empire on the Spine of the World, not the Netherworld City in the Ainook Desert.

This is the conflict between faith and reality, between divine power and royal power, and even Erastro, the daughter of the goddess of magic and the chosen one, cannot avoid this contradiction.

"Erastro, you've taken our guests for too long!"

Just as Erastro sighed slightly, another tall and beautiful lady with the same face and striking silver hair as Erastro walked over.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant topics!"

Erasdra couldn't help but smile and said, "Now, let me introduce a few of my companions behind me!" ”

"Absolutely!"

Dugu Feng smiled slightly: "However, I don't think you need to introduce it, I have heard the name of the seven sisters for a long time!" ”

The silver-haired lady who walked over was tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful, and her deep eyes were not as innocent and idealistic as Erastro, but shone with a shocking light.

Leila Silverhand, one of the seven sisters of the Goddess of Magic and the wife of the Lord of Waterdeep, Calburn Blackstaff, is one of the main leaders of the Harpists League. Together with Dove Silverhand, one of the Seven Sisters, she was raised by the Great Sage Ilminster.

Of the Seven Sisters, Leila* Silverhand was the first to leave the harpist to carve out her own world, and she had a conflict with her eldest sister, Heeron, and nearly died together. Mistra was forced to mediate and empower their constituents so that they would no longer fight over personal grievances.

During one of her adventures, Leila was given the "Crown of Horns", an evil artifact forged by Nesrel's artisan, Trebi, and enchanted by Mirkor. Lyra was affected by it and lost her sanity for 20 years, only to be rescued after the Kelburn* Black Rod shattered the crown of horns. (It is said that during this time Leila gave birth to a daughter, Mora, and it is not known who the father of the child is).

However, compared to the amorous and amorous Lady Erastro like their mother, Leila Silverhand was fiercely loyal to her husband after marrying Kelburn* Black Rod, except for the twenty years she had lost her mind.

Lyra's day-to-day job is to assist her husband in maintaining peace in Waterdeep and other Alliance cities. Her current goal was to wipe out the Santarim Orders in the Northlands and the Shores of the Sword Coast from a long time ago, and to that end, she has made a wide range of friends, from Cormier in the East to Amm in the South, and she has been actively looking for more friends to make her a new partner in the Alliance.

"Aelita, it's been a long time, I remember the last time I went to Baldur's Gate, you were so old!"

Lady Leila * Silverhand greeted Dugu Feng familiarly, Baldur's Gate, as an important neighbor of Waterdeep City, is naturally the main partner of Waterdeep City, although the Silver Shield family is not a believer in the goddess of magic, but it has a close relationship with the Church of the God of Protection, Heim, and is also a member of the justice camp, so Anta * Silver Shield Grand Duke and the Silver Shield family are also the objects of Laila * Silver Hand. The two sides have cooperated many times.

"Yes, it's been a long time, and you still haven't changed a bit, Ms. Lyla!"

Dugu Feng also greeted the lady with a smile, Lady Leila Silverhand is a very patient magic instructor, in the Black Rod Tower of Kelburn, she is patient and very understanding, far more loved by the apprentices than her formidable spouse.

"By the way, Lil is alright! Hope she didn't cause you too much trouble! ”

Dugu Feng is not too strange to Lady Leila* Silverhand, because one of her younger sisters studied magic under this lady.

"No, of course not!"

Leila Silver shook her head slightly, looked at Dugu Feng with a pair of bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Li'er is a very smart and studious child, compared to her young and reckless dwarves, and her awkward and willful classmates, she is much more reassuring!" ”

Waterdeep is an inclusive city, and in the mage tower of Kelburn's Black Staff, in addition to normal humans and elven apprentices, you can also see drow and dwarves who are not mainstream mage apprentices on the surface.

"It's a pity, you have an almost perfect mage talent, if you could have learned from me back then, maybe there will be another great * mage in the realm now!"

Leila Silver looked at Dugu Feng with a little regret, she had also met Aelita when she was a child, even if it was the little girl who had not grown up back then, she was also deeply impressed. Aelita's knowledge of the mage's mindset and the speed at which she absorbed knowledge made Lyra* Silver Hand think that she had met another magical genius like Samast and Annion.

It's just a pity that Dugu Feng refused to follow her advice to study, and instead focused all his energy on the training of the combat position, which made Leila * Silver Hand sigh, feeling that she had missed an outstanding magical genius.

"Magic is good, but I prefer swordsmanship!"

Dugu Feng smiled slightly, just like when he rejected Leila's silver hand, he said the same words. Although it does not reject magic, the "sword" is Dugufeng's instrument of carrying the Tao, as the so-called heart is the way of the metaphysical, and the sword is the instrument of the metaphysical. Dugufeng's path has been decided, for her, whether it is martial arts, fairy ways, or magic, they are all learned in her heart, and they are all inclusive, and only the "sword" is straightforward and comfortable, and she shows the "Dao carrying instrument" she has learned in her chest. Therefore, no matter what she learned, what she showed was swordsmanship, swordsmanship, sword intent and kendo!

Moreover, as the chosen person of the goddess of magic, Leila*Silverhand is equivalent to dangling under the nose of the goddess of magic all the time in front of her, so it is inconvenient to do anything, Dugu Feng does not want to expose his intention to kill the throne so early.
