Chapter 312: Innistrad (The author is a sheep, with a high fever of thirty-nine, and there is no way to keep the 10,000 words updated, forgive me)
Jace Beleren is gone, taking Chandra Nala with him by the way.
Of course, before leaving, he also cleaned all the memories of the two female brigade mages about the Eye of Ugin by the way.
Because in this guy's opinion, the less people know about secrets, the better.
He was so ruthless that he even cleaned his own memories, let alone other people's.
In short, the impression left by the first contact with Jace Beleren on Zuo Si is that he is proud and conceited, as if he can see through people's hearts at a glance, but his emotional intelligence is a little scary.
If it weren't for the divine power to stop it, Zuo Si dared to guarantee that the other party would definitely try to directly read and manipulate his own memories, and even directly cleanse everything that happened to the Eye of Ugin like Nissa and Chandra did.
But in any case, with such an ally, there should be no need to worry too much about the Eldrazi's seal being easily lifted for the time being.
In addition, the dragon scroll is still in Zuo Si's hands at the moment, and whoever wants to open the seal must pass him first.
It is clear that Jace Beleren did not give the scroll to Zuosi just as a thank you, but in the hope that he would take the scroll to a strange and distant world to hide.
The companion card, on the other hand, is a form of insurance to ensure that you can be there as soon as the unexpected happens.
In addition, Zoth also obtained the coordinates of the planes of Innistrad and Ravnica from Jace Beleren.
"Where are you going next? Return to Feeron, or head to Innistrad to find Sorin Markov and the lithomandy Nahiri? The journal asked suddenly.
"Innistrad, of course. I don't want to face Nicol Bolas too soon, so I need to find him a few more opponents. Zuo Si didn't even think about it before giving an answer.
Most importantly, as a novice brigade mage, he urgently needs to find a teacher who can give him some guidance and help.
Among the many Ancient Brigade mages, Sorin Markov is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
The vampire had trained Nahiri the Lithomancer herself, and she had an extraordinary skill in creating life.
】
He can even separate half of his spark power and create the archangel Avacyn, which is diametrically opposed to his own negative energy.
You must know that this is not an ordinary angel, but a blazing god close to Faeron, simply a living demigod or a full god.
The people of Innistrad can even chant Avacyn's name and pray to her to gain some kind of powerful magical power to expel and destroy those dark monsters, such as werewolves, vampires, etc., and ultimately maintain the balance of the entire world and avoid the ecological collapse caused by the extinction of the human race.
And this archangel itself is also a firewall, which can prevent the arrival of terrifying creatures like Eldrazi from the dark void.
Although the ability to transform energy is not a difficult task for a traveling mage with a spark, Zuo Si wonders why Sorin Markov, a vampire, did not develop in the realm of blood and death magic, but instead chose the realm of creation and life.
"Then what to do with this elven brigade mage?"
The journal shifted his attention to Nissa.
Ever since she was brainwashed and controlled, she has always maintained a state of glazed gaze and no reaction to everything around her.
You don't have to ask to know that this is all the after-effects of Jace Beleren's memory cleaning.
As a novice travel mage, Nissa's current strength simply can't resist the former's pervasive mind detection and control.
Not to mention a powerful psychic mage like Jace Beleren, even Zuo Si, who is not very good at charm control magic, can easily play with it.
"What else can I do? I had to take her with me to Innistrad. I'm not too comfortable to keep such a big cleverness still on Zendikar. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and unleashed a high-level dissolving spell on Nissa.
Moment!
The Elven Brigade mage suddenly shuddered, and the originally diffused Tong Kong began to refocus, and after about a few seconds, he covered his head and let out a painful moan: "Ah! Damn it! My head hurts! ”
"Here, drink some water, it will make you feel a little better."
Zuo Si casually picked up a cup carved from wood from the table and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Nissa hurriedly took it and raised her head to Gu Dong and drank a lot, then took a deep breath and asked, "What happened?" Why are we here? I can't seem to remember anything. ”
"We've been attacked, and you've been controlled by the enemy's psychic spells, that's why your memories are confused." Zuo Si explained lightly.
"Enemies?"
Nissa's eyes were confused and confused.
Because no matter how much she searched her memory, she couldn't find even a certain amount of relevant information.
And once it touched the part of the last two days, the whole head felt like it was about to explode, and it emitted a sharp pain that words can't describe.
Zuo Si undoubtedly sensed this, and immediately stopped: "Forget it, don't think about it if you can't think of it, otherwise it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to the spirit." But let's talk about what to do next. ”
Nissa's mind was completely messed up at the moment, and she didn't have any ability to think at all, so she could only subconsciously cooperate and nodded: "I'm feeling so tired now, I need to have a good night's rest immediately, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
With that, she took off her coat and cloak, wore only a small waistcoat made of vines of unknown plants and a short skirt that only covered the roots of her thighs, and lay down on the bed in the hotel and fell asleep with a quilt on it.
As for Zuo Si, he took advantage of the time when the elven brigade mage was resting, opened the dragon scroll and combined the knowledge obtained in the eye of Ugin, and began to try to reverse analyze the unique spell system of the spirit dragon Ugin.
After about ten hours, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, Nissa finally woke up from her sleep, feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, and after a long time, she spoke, "I remember, you brought me here to find the secrets of Yin Meili, the god of the sky, Tungstenla, the god of the sea, and Kohi, the god of change. ”
"Oh? Do you remember this? Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Judging by your reaction, you should have gotten the information you wanted, right?" Nissa pursed the corners of her lips and smiled tentatively.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, you guessed it." However, it may make you feel uneasy.
In fact, these three gods are all terrifying dark void creatures whose money has been sealed in Zendikar for thousands of years.
They had devoured and destroyed countless worlds until they were sealed away by three Ancient Brigade mages, whose real names were supposed to be Yin Moku, Tungsten Ramo, and Kokire.
One of them, a Kor Brigade mage from Zendikar, had warned the leaders of the various clans not to attempt to approach the seal.
But later, I don't know how to spread it and it became what it is now, and even gave rise to primitive religious worship. ”
"So the purpose of this trip is to look at the seal? What is its current status? ”
Hearing that her hometown was under terrible threat, Nissa's face suddenly turned serious.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's not good or bad." The good news is that the seal is strong for the time being, and if there is no external destruction, there will not be a mass awakening of the Eldrazi for at least a few hundred years. But the bad news is that the seal is becoming loose by a long-standing unmaintained seal, and this is the Eldrazi larvae I found near the seal. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si handed a card to the other party.
When she saw the above description, Nissa only felt her scalp tingle, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Isn't there any way to kill them?" ”
"Kill the Eldrazi Titans? Sorry, with all due respect, it is absolutely impossible to do this with the power we currently have. So I'm going to go to another plane to find the Ancient Brigade mage who sealed Eldrazi back then, do you want to come along? Zuo Si took the initiative to send out an invitation.
"Of course! How could this kind of thing be without me? ”
Nissa didn't even think about it before she agreed.
After sharing the coordinates of Innistrad's plane, the two directly activated the power of the spark and left Zendikar.
I don't know if it's because my strength is getting stronger and stronger, or if it's easier to teleport across time and space after leaving the universe where the Faren continent is located, anyway, this time Zuo Si was not affected in any way, and appeared on Innistrad safely.
Moment!
The ubiquitous black negative energy and all kinds of distorting forces surrounded him.
"This ...... This is Innistrad? ”
Nissa had a wary look on her face.
Because in the woods not far away, you can vaguely see a few pairs of eyes that flicker red, and occasionally let out a loud wolf howl.
"Yes! It seems that the locals here are very welcoming and want to give us a grand welcome ceremony. ”
There was a hint of ridicule in Zuo Si's tone.
Because these werewolves, who are dominated by animal nature, no matter how many they are, cannot pose any threat to them.
Looking at the blood-colored moon above his head, and the werewolves around him, he directly lost a group charm in the bush where the largest number of werewolves were hidden.
Next Second......
The howls of the wolves were replaced by wails and screams.
You don't need to ask to know that all those werewolves who have been controlled by the charm have already pounced on their companions and started to attack, tearing open their chests and internal organs with sharp teeth and claws.
After doing all this, Zuo Si pointed to the north and said, "Let's go, let's go to the town first to find out the news and see what has happened to Innistrad recently." ”
Obviously hesitant, Kanisha turned to stare at the woods behind her, and asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure, "Are you sure you don't want to clean up all these werewolves?" ”
"There's no need for that. The last thing Innistrad lacks is werewolves and vampires, and it's not easy to kill them all. Vampires, in particular, are the ruling class in this world. ”
As he spoke, Zuosi summoned two horses, mounted one of them himself, and handed the other to Nissa.
If he remembered correctly, Sorin Markov should have been in exile by his own vampire family during this time, and it was not easy to find him.
As for the reason, of course, it is because Sorin created the archangel Avacyn, touching the interests of these vampires.
The vampires, confined to Innistrad's childhood, don't understand what ecological balance is, and if humans really die under their oppression, then vampires will fall into irrational madness because they can't drink enough blood.
In the end, the whole world will collapse and destroy without surprising.
Sorin created an archangel to maintain Innistrad's fragile ecological balance, so that even the weakest humans have the power to protect themselves.
That way, he would be able to explore other planes without worrying about seeing a ruined homeland when he returned.
After galloping north for about forty kilometers on horseback, the two finally saw a town surrounded by a six-meter-high wall.
On the towers of the enclosure walls, huge oil lamps could be faintly seen, as well as guards standing guard with weapons in hand.
Whenever there was any noise around them, they would immediately draw their bows and shoot a rocket to confirm the situation.
Obviously, the extremely harsh living environment makes the human beings here live very nervously every day.
In particular, werewolves who will hunt around at night can be regarded as a disaster for a small town of this size once they blend into the city walls.
Zuo Si didn't mean to hide his whereabouts, and rode straight to the front gate on horseback, took off his hood, and revealed his face.
And this action also made the originally nervous guards relax a little, and immediately shouted at the top of their voices: "Who are you? Why is it in our town in the middle of the night? ”
"My companion and I were adventurers who happened to get lost in the forest and had to find a way to find a place to spend the night. If you allow us in, then we will pay you handsomely. With that, Zuo Si took out a gold brick from his pocket that was not very large, and then cast a magic spell and sent it to several guards.
Moment!
The guards, who were not wealthy, even became short of breath, glaring at each other as if asking what to do.
Finally, the captain took a deep breath and said to his guards: "Get a rope and let me go down and see." If these two people's hair is not very vigorous, then it should not be the werewolf pretending, and we can let them in. ”
"Makes sense!"
"That's it!"
Tempted by the nugget, the captain took great risks and climbed down the wall along a rope and carefully shielded himself with a shield.
After the distance between the two sides was less than three meters, he stopped and ordered straightforwardly: "Take off your cloak and tunics, and I will check your chest, armpits, and toes for a large amount of hair." For wherever there are werewolves, these places are bound to grow luxuriant hair. ”
Just as Nissa, who had no scheming, was about to start undressing, Zuo Si immediately stopped her and quietly cast an illusion spell.
As a result, the captain of the guard quickly saw what he wanted to see, immediately nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the guards behind him: "No problem, they are all normal, open the side door." ”
With the sound of a creaking winch, the small door next to the wall finally opened a crack, and the two entered the town safe and sound.
