In the middle of the night, the entire Dark Fort was silent.

This fortified fortress, which may have been built in the era of Netherre, or even more ancient in the age of giants, was built from top to bottom by an unknown black rock, and even after thousands of years, there is still no sign of erosion by wind and sand, and it is an important stronghold of the Santarim Society.

It is probably located in the Sunset Mountains at the junction of the Cormir Kingdom, the Enoch Desert, and West Hartland.

It guards the vital road from Fort Santil to Comanso, to the valley, to Cormyr, and through the green fields to the Porte de Bod's on the west coast of Feren.

If you look at the map, the Dark Keep is like a nail, firmly embedded in a very sensitive location, ensuring that the Santarim will be able to expand its sphere of influence further afield.

This is especially true of the small and medium-sized towns and villages in West Hartland that are relatively independent and easy to conquer.

Since 1312DR, an army of at least eight hundred men has been stationed here to ensure that some action can be taken if needed.

Don't think that 800 is a lot.

Quite the opposite!

This is a decisive force capable of dominating the entire region.

Since West Hartland did not form a unified state, and the strongest Baldur's Gate did not have the ability to reach far inland, most of the towns probably had only a few dozen or even two or three hundred militiamen.

When confronted with the "large" number of well-trained professional soldiers at Santil Fort, they often surrendered before they could start fighting.

It is with the deterrent power of the Dark Ciep that the Santarim Guild directly or indirectly controls many towns and villages, and has engaged in a protracted battle with the Harpists Alliance in this area.

But now, the army stationed here has been completely killed and wounded by the poison and plague, and only a few corpses have been transformed into undead, still guarding the towering gates and walls.

As the lord of the Dark Keep, Simanmon was sitting in his place, his chin crossed with his hands crossed, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Suddenly!

A portal suddenly opened out of thin air, and a man with long blond hair and beard, wearing a black armor and holding a scepter stepped out from the other side.

Moment!

Xi Manmon, who was still sitting motionless in the last second, stood up from his chair the next second, and involuntarily revealed a nervous emotion.

It took more than ten seconds before he couldn't help but say, "You're late, Chamberberry." ”

"Sorry, I had a little trouble to deal with, all inevitably a little late." The man known as Chamberberry replied nonchalantly.

You don't need to ask to know that he is the second-in-command of the Santarin, the chosen person of the god of tyranny Bane and the supreme leader of the church, the tyrant of the Moon Sea, and the feared Fourzor Chamberbery of countless people.

"Damn! Do you know how much risk I had? If the mentor had known that the two of us were in private contact, he would have done so without hesitation. Simon cursed under gritted teeth.

I'm afraid Manson would never have imagined that these two ostensibly contradictory enemies would be in private contact.

But Furzol Chamberbury sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, and then asked without looking up, "How is it that Manson learned that I was planning to take control of the Santarin, how did he react?" ”

"Furious. To be precise, this defeat has taken a serious blow to his self-confidence, and even a state of self-doubt, which is the most vulnerable time. Siman gave his judgment without thinking.

"Oh? Is that young man named Soth really so powerful? Furzol Chamberbury was in a state of interest.

As a voter of the tyrannical god Bane, he has been collecting information and information on the electors of other gods throughout the continent of Faeron.

Among them, Zuo Si, who is the only voter of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, is naturally the top priority.

What's more, it was later reported that she had also become a voter of the goddess of magic.

"It's more than amazing! If you were there, you would have been blown away by the power of South.

Remember the Silver Burst Mode used by Yin Erminster?

In his hands, he could even go one step further, piercing the magical protection on the mentor's body and killing him with just one blow.

And this guy is also immune to time stopping, and holds a powerful artifact of unknown power and ability in his hand.

The most important thing is that he alone is equivalent to an army.

Note that this is not an exaggeration, but a description that could not be more apt.

I don't know what kind of method he used, but he was able to summon and control several dragons in a short period of time, as well as an incomparably powerful monster army such as the Eye Demon.

Even if the teacher joined forces with the chief of those red-robed mages, he didn't take advantage of it in the end, but fell into the disadvantage from the beginning.

As Sos said, it was not us who surrounded him, but he who surrounded us. ”

As he said this, Simon's hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

In order to calm himself down, he quickly grabbed a glass of dark red liquid with a pungent fishy smell from the container next to him, then raised his head and drank it.

The moment he opened his mouth, the sharp canine teeth hidden in his mouth were finally revealed.

There is no doubt that at this moment, Simon is no longer human, but a vampire who has only recently completed his transformation.

Because just a few days ago, he was accidentally poisoned and plagued at the same time, and his whole body was almost killed like those soldiers.

Although he later relied on magic potions to survive, he had a psychological shadow because of this, and he was afraid that this revenge would be continuous, so he secretly transformed himself into a vampire to completely immunize himself against diseases and toxins.

Furzol Chamberberry undoubtedly sensed the fear and jealousy revealed in Simanmeng's eyes, and continued to ask, "Then what is his arcane spell level and divine spell casting level?" ”

"Don't ask me, how do I know. Many of the spells he used were like nothing I'd ever seen before, and it looked highly likely legendary magic. As for the time of battle, like the Nine Rings Great Split, five or six were lost in one go, and four of them were super magic skills without any chanting spells and spell-casting actions - spell instantaneous. Any idea what that means? ”

Siman said what he saw at the time.

Spell Instantaneity requires the use of spell slots that are four rings higher than the current magic level to memorize.

If it's a nine-ring spell, it requires a spell slot memory of at least thirteen rings.

All spell slots starting from the Ten Rings require the Legendary Specialty of [Improving Spell Slots], and they must be selected at least four times to get a Thirteen Rings slot.

Four instantaneous Great Cracks meant taking three more shots on top of that, consuming a total of seven Legendary Specializations.

If you get a feats based on every three levels, it's almost twenty-one legendary arcane spell levels, and counting the previous twenty-one ordinary arcane spell levels, the total is as high as forty-two.

When Simon saw that his teacher had been killed, he immediately fled, and most of them were frightened by this inference.

You must know that this spell level is not even reached by the great arcanists of the Netharel civilization.

Manson also realized this after the resurrection, so the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even began to have self-doubt.

Fuzol Chamberbury's face became a little solemn, and he questioned in a shocked tone: "How is this possible! He still looks so young, one might even say a child. Even if he came from another material plane, and even destroyed a world through the power of the plague, it would never have been possible to reach such heights. ”

"Then I don't know. Maybe Soth has some unknown skill for instantaneous high-level magic, or maybe he's been given an extra gift from the Goddess of Poison and Disease or the Goddess of Magic. But one thing is certain, and that is that he is the most feared of enemies, and he will never be as merciful as the other Goddess of Magic Electors. ”

With that, Simon stretched out his tongue and licked the dark red blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with deep fear.

"I have no doubt about that. Because not long ago, he had just bloodied the whole of Luskan, not only uprooting those pirates, thieves' guilds, and unscrupulous merchants, but also forcibly moving the entire inhabitants of Mingtan Island to Luskan. This kind of behavior, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like the good camp can do it. Furzol Chamberbury touched his chin and analyzed.

Xi Manmeng nodded approvingly: "Only pursuing results and not caring about the process and means is the most distinctive characteristic of South.

In addition, he uses a lot of low-level undead creatures as laborers, completely ignoring the protests of the Church of Good and Neutral Deities.

It is said that a priest in Loshanda, Lord of the Dawn, simply demanded that this act be stopped, and the entire church was completely expelled from the Nellancer Islands.

That's why I advised the teacher not to provoke Soss but to maintain a good relationship with him.

Unfortunately, the teacher was lured by the power of the silver fire, and finally made an unforgivable fatal mistake, which caused a devastating blow to the intelligence network of the Santarin Society in the Northlands.

That's why I chose to work with you. ”

"Humph! Manson would probably never have imagined that his most trusted apprentice would betray him at such a critical time. So tell me, how do you think we should get through this right now? ”

Fourzol Chamberbury's eyes twinkled with a glint called ambition.

After all, when he was a humble low-level pastor of the Bann Church at the beginning of the Santarim Church, he was desperate to overthrow Manson, who had been pressing down on his head.

But it is a pity that Manzon was too cautious and never found the slightest chance after so many years.

But now, that opportunity has finally arrived.

With the failure of Operation Luskan, the entire inner ring of the Santarim Order has become dissatisfied with Manson, believing that he is no longer qualified to continue to lead this vast dark intelligence network.

Similarly, there was a lot of opposition in the Fort of Santil.

Although most of these voices were quickly suppressed, the surging undercurrents did not stop, but instead connected in a more covert way.

Simon lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then quickly said, "The solution to the current dilemma is simple. The first thing to do is to make a settlement with South, and at least to make sure that Santilburg will not be poisoned for any reason. Otherwise, this state of panic will not last long and will completely collapse. Of course, Ethos's character will certainly open his mouth, and we must be prepared to pay a heavy price. ”

"Do you think he would accept our offer of reconciliation after something like this happened?" Furzol Chamberbury raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Why not?" Simon asked meaningfully. "He's a realist through and through. Although he has a strong vindictive spirit that is different from ordinary people, he is also very calm and rational. Especially when it comes to dealing with the expansion of the Shirek church, our position is unanimous. In addition to this, the teacher and his treasures can also be used as bargaining chips on the negotiating table. ”

"What do you mean...... If necessary, he could even sell Manson as a bargaining chip? ”

Furzol Chamberbury instantly understood the other party's thoughts, and a very surprised expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, he finally realized why Manson would trust the dark intelligence network to Simanmon to maintain daily operations.

Although this sinister and cunning man always seems to be very close to Manson, he is a calculating and ruthless guy at heart.

In Simonmon's eyes, everyone around him is a tool that can be manipulated, used, and betrayed, even his own teacher.

It's just that in the past, Manson could give much more than Fourzol Chamberbury, so he would be loyal to the former.

"Everyone in this world has a price.

I have it, you have it, and so do my teachers.

It's just that some people have a higher price tag, and some people have a lower tag.

Since the teacher has become an obstacle to the continued development of the entire organization, why not trade him out to win a strong ally before his price drops?

After all, we all know that the church of Shirek will definitely make a comeback. ”

When he said this, Simon Meng's tone was so calm and calm, and there was no trace of guilt or compulsion at all.

Since abandoning his cult of personality with Manson, he has noticeably become more terrifying, and has a vague potential to become a powerhouse.

Fuzol Chamberbury pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled in agreement, "You're right. But Manson is not easy to deal with, and we have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry, I've got a detailed plan. When the time comes, the inside and outside will definitely be able to solve the teacher once and for all. The most important thing is how to convince Soth of our sincerity and make sure that he doesn't kill him when he shows up. ”

At the thought of facing Zuo Si again, Xi Manmeng was obviously a little uncertain.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, it may not even have a chance to speak, and it will be killed by high-level spells such as [Time Stop] and [Great Split].

"Don't be afraid. This time I'll be with you. Four-Bell Chamberbury made a promise without thinking.

"You?" Simon was momentarily stunned.

He had the impression that the voters of Bane, the god of tyranny, had always been like Manson, known for their caution, and almost never exposed themselves to powerful enemies.

Furzol Chamberbery explained with a smirk: "Because I suddenly discovered that this young man named Soth seemed to have the potential to become a tyrant. If we can draw him away from the Goddess of Magic, then the entire Northlands and the west coast of the Continent of Faren will become our allies. Perhaps we can also take this opportunity to forcibly promote Bane's faith and resurrect the God we serve. ”

There is no doubt that finding tyrants, cultivating tyrants, and becoming the most trusted right and left hands around tyrants has always been the highest standard pursued by the Bane Church.

Every pastor and believer will do everything in their power to find and nurture those around them who have the potential to become tyrants.

At that time, Samast, the Goddess of Magic's elector, was discovered by a priest of Bane to have the potential to become a tyrant, so he followed his side and continued to bewitch him, until he completely fell into madness and founded the Dragon Worship Cult.

Although the pastor lashed out at Fourzol Chamberbury for his apparent conversion to the son of the god of Banne, the two men remained unwavering in their belief in the god of tyranny.

"What? Are you crazy! Schillan was dumbfounded.

"No, I'm not crazy, and I'm more sober than I have ever been. Believe me, if this plan succeeds, then we will have cultivated a tyrant who has never been more powerful than ever, enough to make the whole world tremble. Imagine how powerful and invincible Bane will be after the resurrection? We will all be rewarded in unimaginable ways. ”

Furzol Chamberbery paints a picture of the bright future with an excited voice.

Perhaps in front of other Bene's followers, this set can make the other party willing to pay the price of his life.

But instead of being moved, Siman became extremely vigilant.

Because whenever Fourzol Chamberbery begins to paint a pie, it means that he is secretly planning another ulterior conspiracy.

In the end, the two reluctantly reached a cooperation agreement.

Manson, who was busy consolidating his position, didn't realize that the turmoil at the top of the Santarinist Society was nothing more than a smoke bomb that was deliberately thrown to attract his attention, and the real death was still to come.

……

Meanwhile, with things in Luskan on track, Zosi finally left the city and returned to Am's capital, Askatra.

Since he had thoroughly mastered most of the waters on the West Coast's trade routes, the Council of Six immediately consulted with him for two or three hours, and then finalized a series of military, political, trade, transport, and commercial cooperation.

As a typical business empire, Am's top management has always paid great attention to ensuring the smooth flow of its trade routes.

Otherwise, it would not have cost a lot of money to maintain a large but not very useful navy.

However, when they saw that the last of the pirates of the scale had been completely wiped out, and there was no longer any threat of climate change in the entire sea, they had the idea of selling the fleet to save money.

In any case, as long as they paid a protection fee of 10% of the value of the goods, merchant ships could move freely in important ports and trading hubs such as Luskan, Neverwinter, Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep, Moulin, Zazespor, Myratma, Manon, and Port Carlin, where would they need to maintain any navy.

Wouldn't it be good to sell them all and replace them with merchant ships to make money?

If there is a military need, when the time comes, it will directly spend a sum of money to hire the fleet of the Nelantel Islands.

The short-sightedness of capital and businessmen is perfectly reflected in these guys.

And as a gift for this deal, Ammun will also pack and give away the two dockyards used to build large warships, along with craftsmen.

For this kind of good thing sent to the door, of course Zuo Si will not refuse.

After all, with the annexation of Luskan, his sphere of influence expanded to the Far North, and the area of sea that needed to be maintained almost doubled, and it was time for more warships to be needed.

So after paying some cane sugar, both parties happily reached the deal.

The Council of Six felt that it had taken advantage of itself, not only throwing off the heavy burden, but also returning to the most profitable luxury at the moment - sugar.

And Zuo Si exchanged the white sugar at no cost for the battleship that his forces most urgently needed.

You must know that Am's warship is a standard sail warship, and it is very close to the Karak sailing ship suitable for ocean voyages in structure and shape, otherwise it is not qualified to develop the Aztec continent on the other side of the sea.

In this way, the Council of the Six of Ams completely handed over the authority to decide the safety of its own trade and merchant ships to Zuo Si.

They have been driven into a frenzy by the staggering profits from the Aztec Continent's specialties, and there is an urgent need to build more merchant ships to ensure that they can seize the market as much as possible before other nations and powers discover the routes of the New World.

As for the battleships that not only can't create profits, but also spends money non-stop, how far and how far they roll.

On top of that, warships are very cumbersome to build and maintain, often requiring shipyards to be occupied, slowing down the construction and maintenance of merchant ships.

So after comprehensive consideration, the six-member council made an extremely bold decision.

In their opinion, Zuo Si has long been deeply tied to Am's interests and belongs to 100% of his "own people", so the risk is completely controllable.

When he walked out of the municipal building with this agreement, Vanessa, who was a lich, couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I can't believe that the Council of Six is so short-sighted that it would push it at such a critical moment."

Your Excellency, all the sea trade routes to the west of the entire continent of Faren are now in our hands.

It means not only great wealth, but also the expansion of channel control and political influence.

In fact, we are now an important cornerstone of the stability of cities and countries on the West Coast.

If they get into trouble, they will do everything they can to help.

Because to help us is to help ourselves.

You know, I thought it would take at least ten or twenty years to achieve the strategy I had set out at the beginning.

But who would have thought that it could be done in less than two years. ”

Zuo Si replied disapprehantly: "That's why I've been reminding you to never let too many businessmen meddle in politics."

Because as long as it can make more profits, this group has no bottom line at all.

As soon as the benefits obtained could not satisfy the appetite of these nobles and wealthy merchants, they themselves would fight first.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that Amm will decline in the near future, or even fall into endless civil strife.

By the way, I asked you to send someone to take over the concessions and strongholds left by the red-robed mages, how is it going now? ”

"I've given carte blanche to Habathar Delin.

You know, he's been haunted by the red-robed mage for stealing business by setting up a concession at Baldur's Gate, so he volunteered to take on this task.

If nothing else, magic scrolls, potions, and other items produced within the organization have now replaced the red-robed mages as the main suppliers of magic everywhere.

At the same time, you can also use these channels to acquire a lot of interesting things and materials.

I think Habathar Delin is a good fit for that, so I might as well leave this mess to him in charge. ”

Speaking of this, Vanessa suddenly showed a playful expression.

To some extent, the reason why Habather Delin made up his mind to join the organization was really thanks to the red-robed mage and the Duke of Silver Shield, who brought in the red-robed mage.

"Put the right people in the right jobs, and it seems that you have mastered the essence of management. Let's go, it's time to see what exactly is in Badi's belly. ”

With that, Zuo Si took the lead and walked in the direction of the cemetery.

Since it was completely dark at the moment, the entire cemetery of Ascatla was quiet.

Except for a few people in charge of the night watch, there were hardly any living people in sight.

As with most of the burial sites in Faerun, these vigils and patrols were mainly to prevent anyone from stealing the burial goods in the tombs, or simply stealing the corpses and transforming them into the undead.

According to historical records, several terrorist attacks by necromancers generally began near the cemetery.

Because only here are there enough corpses for its resurrection.

Therefore, the most important duty of the vigil and patrol personnel is to give early warning, to ensure that no matter what happens, the defenders and major temples in the city can be the first to be aware.

However, the situation at the Askatla cemetery is more complicated.

As early as the Shane Dynasty, it was a place where nobles buried themselves and their relatives, and there were many layers built up and down, and there were also anti-tomb traps and magic traps.

It is said that the deepest part of it has long been occupied by the resurrected spirits.

In addition, there was a tradition of burial with slaves at that time, so it was common to encounter undead spirits such as skeletons, zombies, mungeons, ghouls, and demons.

On this point, the guys in the Shadow Thieves Guild who specialize in tomb robbing should have the most say.

Every month, several hapless thieves are surrounded by undead and never come back alive.

Of course, Zuo Si didn't care about the lives of these thieves.

He didn't even pay attention to the men in black who were trying to pry open the door of a tomb not far away, and stood quietly waiting.

After a while, a woman with short black hair and pale skin stepped out of the shadows.

I saw her touch her chest with one hand, bowed deeply, and took the initiative to say, "Please come with me." The hostess has been waiting for a long time. ”

"A vampire derivation?" Vanessa looked at the other with interest.

As an archmage specializing in necromancy, his favorite thing is to study, create, and transform all kinds of undead creatures, and it is naturally impossible not to be curious about vampires, a high-level undead with independent consciousness.

"My name is Veran, and I am a servant of my master." The female vampire took the initiative to report her name carefully.

Because she had already been told when she came, she understood that the person in front of her and the lich were not something she could provoke.

"Interesting. Can you tell me about any changes in your thinking, consciousness, and habits before and after you were transformed into a derivative body? Vanessa continued.

Veran hesitated visibly before replying in a tone that he couldn't even be sure of, "I...... I do not know. But serving the hostess and obeying every order she gave me did give me great satisfaction.

It felt like a moth longing for the light would die in the fire without hesitation.

I used to want to be free, but then I realized that it was just a heavy burden.

Because thinking makes me confused, but I don't need to have any doubts or scruples when I obey orders.

I long to fight, I want to kill, I want blood, but when it's over, I feel so empty. ”

After hearing this, Vanessa nodded with satisfaction: "Very good answer." Thank you, now I have a deeper understanding of vampires. Lead the way now, don't let your hostess wait. ”

"As you wish."

Without saying a word, Veran led the way into a very hidden tomb gate.

After passing through stairs and tunnels covered with cobwebs and a thick layer of dust, the group of three soon came to a very old-looking hall hundreds of meters underground.

Judging from the stone pillars and the floating and diagrams on the walls, this is the tomb of a certain governor of the Shane dynasty.

But now it has been completely transformed into a paradise by the vampires.

As soon as he entered the door, the first thing Zuo Si smelled was the pungent smell of blood.

A little further afield, you will see hordes of vampires sitting next to a huge fountain of blood pools, bathing in blood, drinking plasma and performing acts of debauchery that cannot be described in words.

Since becoming undead, these guys seem to have completely untied their last shackles, showing the desires and dark sides in their hearts without any dead ends.

However, when they saw Zuo Si, especially the daytime star hanging from Zuo Si's waist, they immediately showed panicked expressions, and some of them were so frightened that they fell directly into the pool of blood.

"I really want to have a sun blast here."

Zuo Si gently pressed his hand on the hilt of Daystar's sword, and his body exuded an aura that made the vampires feel uneasy and afraid.

"Forget it. It's too small to dodge, and I don't want to be killed by you. Vanessa exhorted in a half-joking tone.

You must know that the Daylight Star is indistinguishable from the enemy, as long as it is within the attack range of the undead, it will be instantly scorched by sunlight and strong positive energy.

"That's right, it's still important to get down to business."

Zuo Si let go of his grip on the hilt of Daystar's sword and went straight through the room and disappeared into the end of the stairs that led to the vampire queen's secret room belongs.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the vampire present on his back foot breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the men who had just been converted couldn't help but ask, "Who was that young man just now?" Why does when he looks at me, I feel stiff and unable to move? ”

"His name is Soth, and he is the Goddess of Poison and Disease and the Goddess of Magic, and he has just defeated and sealed a Lesser Demon Lord, followed by Manson of the Santarin Order and several red-robed mage chiefs in Luskan. The sword, in particular, once killed more than forty of the queen's descendants in a single battle. If he had just made a move, we would not have survived. So don't provoke him, it's no different from looking for death. ”

Another older female vampire gave a quick answer.

"Damn! Sounds terrible. I really don't understand why the queen would cooperate with such a dangerous person. ”

A vampire who looked like a young man of twenty-six or seventeen couldn't help but whisper a grumble.

But soon he was warned by other vampires.

Because Badi is the supreme queen here, no one can disobey or question her decision.

On the other side, when Zuosi and Vanessa came to the underground secret room, they immediately saw Badi lying on the bed and unable to move.

The reason why she couldn't move was because her lower abdomen had bulged into a huge ball of flesh, more than two meters in diameter.

Not to mention moving, even turning over has become an impossible thing to do.

And if it weren't for the vampire's body being completely supported by negative energy, the strength of the flesh is not known how many grades higher than that of humans, otherwise it would have exploded a long time ago.

"Thank goodness! You're finally here! Badi tilted his head sideways, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Obviously, this huge ball of flesh on her body caused her unimaginable pain and inconvenience.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no good way, she would even want to cut things off with one fell swoop.

"How did this happen?" Zuo Si asked in a slightly curious tone.

He remembered very well that the last time the two met, his lower abdomen was only slightly raised.

Ba Di sighed helplessly: "I don't know. This situation started suddenly after a terrible nightmare three days ago. And it has sucked almost all of my power, and it is still drawing energy from the shadow nets around it to grow itself. ”

"Shadow Net?"

Hearing this word, Zuo Si's heart instantly sounded an alarm bell.

As we all know, there was originally only one magic net in the continent of Faeron, and that was the first goddess of magic born in the battle between the twin goddesses of light and darkness, Shar and Suren.

In other words, the goddess of magic and the magic web were formed by tearing off parts of each of the two goddesses of creation.

As a representative of light and goodness, the goddess of the moon, Suren, was clearly very happy with the birth of this daughter, and soon established a good alliance with her.

The original Goddess of Magic also tended to help the kind mother fight against another evil mother who was always trying to kill her and then return everything to darkness and chaos.

In order to regain his power, Shar secretly built a very secret, but completely controlled shadow web behind the back of the gods.

It is a mutilated replica of the genuine magic web, and due to the negative energy of the main body, it greatly enhances the power of enchantment, necromancy, and illusion magic, but reduces the power of plastic energy, change, and some positive energy spells.

And in some dead magic areas and chaotic magic areas that can't be used by the real magic net, the shadow magic net can operate normally.

By increasing the number of casters to use the Shadow Web, the Goddess of the Night hopes to reduce the number and influence of the Goddess of Magic's followers, eventually reducing her to medium or even weak powers like her sworn enemy, Suren.

In this way, she can easily force the other person to submit, or even kill them once and for all, and become the goddess of magic herself.

When a mage comes into contact with the Shadow Web, he will drift away from the real web.

However, the Shadow Web has a fatal flaw, it is not neutral, but is 100% controlled by Shar.

If you don't get the guidance of the goddess, you will not only cause permanent damage to the brain, but also may be "disconnected" at a critical moment at any time.

Therefore, all conspiracies related to the Shadow Demon Network have Shar's shadow behind them without exception.

"That's right, it's the Shadow Web. I can feel that this thing is getting stronger and stronger. When it comes out of its cocoon, it's time for me to die. So if you still want Irenikas research progress, it's best to move faster. Otherwise, if I die, you won't get anything. ”

As he said this, Badi's face was full of nervousness and anxiety.

She didn't want to die, especially not to fall victim to some great conspiracy.

"Vanessa, what do you think?"

Zuo Si ignored the vampire queen's painless threat, and turned his gaze to his men.

The latter, after pondering for a moment, immediately responded: "I think we should first confirm what this thing is, and then decide what to do with it." If it really involves that goddess, I think it's better to be cautious. ”

"Makes sense."

With an irrepressible curiosity, Zuo Si stepped forward and quickly discovered that in the center of the meat ball, there was a lifeform about thirty centimeters long.

All around it was the negative energy drawn from the shadow net, almost so thick that it existed in the form of a liquid.

"Have you ever tried to cut open your own stomach?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

Ba Di nodded vigorously: "Of course! I've tried to take it out a long time ago. The problem is that even magic weapons and adamantite weapons can be corrupted in a very short period of time when they get closer, and eventually turn into a pile of residues that don't know what they are. ”

As he spoke, Badi gave Veran a look.

The latter immediately understood, and took out a tray from the cabinet next to him and handed it to the other two.

Vanessa picked up one of them and released a detection spell, immediately exclaiming, "How is this possible! These metals were decomposed and eroded by negative energy into another substance that had never been seen before. ”

"It's a trace of divine power!"

Zuo Si gave an answer with a serious expression?

?。

As a traveling mage and a godly elect, his perception of divine power can be said to be far greater than that of all people.

Although the divine power on these residues was very rare, it was hidden from his keen perception.

"Divine power?" Badi's mouth opened wide in shock.

Zuo Si nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's divine power, and it's the kind of divine power that is corrupted and degenerate." It seems that Amanata's disappearance is not so simple, and your blasphemous behavior may be just a trigger. Tell me, have you been dreaming of that black sun again lately? ”

"Yes. I often dream of that black sun, and it's getting more and more real, and I can even feel the amazing heat. Look, this is the burn I left after the last time I touched it in a hallucination. ”

Realizing how bad his situation was, Badi couldn't hide it, and hurriedly leaked the black part of his arm that was burned.

She's a vampire queen with a powerful recovery ability that even trolls can't match.
