Chapter 370: Asmodeus (10,000 Words Subscription Request)

Learn, train, and earn money by taking on a wide variety of commissions and tasks......

The arrival of thousands of players has undoubtedly brought unprecedented vitality to the otherwise somewhat lifeless Floating City of Plantia, and even the taverns that were originally not frequented by many people have gradually become lively.

In particular, those high-level talents who are also from Earth, but know the truth about the "Fourth Natural Calamity" plan, tend to observe some strange behaviors of these guys who have been kept in the dark with a playful mentality.

Several psychologists and sociologists have made it an interesting subject of study.

Because the current state of the players is very similar to the so-called "brain in a vat", there is no way to distinguish between the virtual and the real.

The only difference is that the "brain in a vat" principle uses electrical signals to trick the brain, while the soul is trapped in a virtual world called "Infinity City" by a supernatural force called a psychic ability, and treats the real world as a virtual game world.

Such large-scale social experiments, which may involve violations of laws, human rights, and moral boundaries, are almost impossible to approve by any government or state on the original earth.

Even the most bottomless and frustrated countries in recent history.

But now, not only is it a reality, but it will also increase over time, until the size goes from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and then from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.

Don't think this number sounds exaggerated.

Quite the opposite!

Ten million souls account for less than a third of the number of people who die on Earth in a year.

And with the dawn of the new century, the global population will swell at an incredible rate.

And in less than 30 years, it will reach more than 8 billion, and the annual death toll will be a staggering 60 million.

Even if we exclude the extremely underdeveloped regions such as Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America, ordinary souls who have not received a good education can still screen out at least one million high-quality souls every year.

If the conditions are relaxed a little more, it will not be a problem to increase the number of players to 10 million in a year.

This is also why Zuosi will regard the earth as an inexhaustible and huge pool of talents.

The only limitation is whether the main brain, Isadora, can be powerful enough to connect so many consciousnesses to clones at the same time, and ensure the stability of psionic signal transmission.

For sociologists, such a large-scale introduction of human beings from the earth into the world where the floating city is located in a special way has long been strictly not a simple transformation, but should be regarded as immigration.

Because the player's behavior, thoughts, and consciousness will profoundly affect and even change the core background of the entire civilization.

What's more, their bodies still retain the most basic primitive desires, as well as the ability to reproduce and breed.

It's just a pity that the players are completely unaware of all this.

Some dog men and women from areas with a more open social atmosphere hooked up a few days after they arrived in the floating city, and took advantage of the cover of night to hide in an inconspicuous place such as a garden, and "deeply" discussed the very serious, very serious topic of "the origin of life".

They didn't notice that their every move was being filmed and recorded by the ubiquitous invisible magic eye.

In the beginning, the experts of the Planning and Social Science Group watched the exciting images from different angles, and even brought people from other departments next door to enjoy them.

However, as the number of men and women discussing the origin of life increases, and the frequency of communication increases, they inevitably begin to become numb.

In the end, I lost all interest in this kind of imagery, and simply recorded the names, ethnicities, and ancestries of the two sides that were used to create the characters.

Due to the fact that there were no protection measures at all, more than 30 female players were recruited in just one or two weeks.

When they learned the news of their "pregnancy" after being checked by the priest, they were all stupefied, and they couldn't believe that a virtual game could still get pregnant and give birth.

However, when they heard that they could be rewarded with a full 100 gold coins for giving birth to a child, and that they could be safely left to the childcare center in Floating City to raise without having to take care of their own children, these players quickly calmed down and accepted this "game premise".

After all, they enter the "virtual world" in order to earn rewards and exchange them for "real-world" currency to meet the needs of their daily lives.

Wouldn't it be better if this could be easily achieved by simply having children?

Anyway, it's just a game, and it's not like I'm really pregnant......

As a result, a small group of female players with no bottom line thought that they had found a "loophole" in the rules, and began to slack off on their daily hard study and training, only thinking about making money by relying on their innate advantages as women.

Even some male gamers have expressed strong envy for this, hating only that the damn game doesn't allow you to create characters of the opposite gender.

You must know that 100 gold coins is a lot of money for players who have just entered the floating city.

They complete a variety of tasks on weekdays, and at best they can only get paid for a few copper plates and a silver coin or two.

Some of the tadpoles who contributed even suggested to Vanessa, the daily manager of Floating City, that they should also receive a bonus.

It doesn't take much, half or even a third of pregnant female players can be done.

As a result, the constructs were thrown out one by one from the second floor of the central tower, killing them on the spot to make money by being "stallions".

Thanks to the lawn and shrubs underneath as a buffer, otherwise even if you don't fall seriously, you will have to break your arm and leg.

But even so, it is inevitable that the nose and face will be swollen, and at the same time, it has become the laughing stock of other people after dinner.

However, the direct consequence of this incident is that if a female player wants to make money by having children, she must reach an agreement with a male player to share the spoils, otherwise the latter will refuse to provide her tadpoles.

Once again, it turns out how chaotic and disorderly the player community really is.

They're always going to surprise or scare you when you don't expect it.

Of course, unlike those "scum" who are full of opportunistic tricks, Jack works extremely hard and hard in the process of learning how to become a priest of the Phoenix God.

At this moment, he was standing naked in the magical flame in the center of the temple, emitting an astonishing heat, enduring the intense pain that ordinary people could not bear at all, and he did not have the slightest idea of escaping even though his skin was burned to a charred black color.

Because according to the doctrinal description, Bennu is the god of fire, the god of souls, and the god of eternal life.

To become a true priest, one must first endure the scorching flames and sublimate one's soul in agony, and then one can receive the great blessing of great power and nirvana rebirth.

Especially when the first step is scorched by the magic flames, it will be difficult for players who are dulled to hold on for more than ten seconds.

But Jack had been holding on for ten minutes now.

Just when his endurance was about to reach its limit, a miracle happened.

I saw that the originally charred skin and muscles on my body suddenly cracked open, revealing the new pink skin that had just grown inside.

No doubt!

This is the rebirth of Nirvana, one of the most important symbols of the recognition and blessing of the Phoenix God.

The moment Jack dragged his huge body out of the flames, he suddenly raised his hand and suddenly released a dazzling red fire.

Seeing this scene, Monlia, as the bishop, immediately stepped forward two steps, put on a red robe representing the status of an official priest, and said in a slightly joyful tone: "Congratulations! You are now a servant of the great god Bennu like me. ”

"It's all thanks to your teachings."

Jack humbly bowed his head to the supreme leader of the church in front of him.

Having grown up in a traditional Christian family, he was not averse to such a thing, but was extra religious and fanatical.

Although he no longer remembers what God he believed in, certain habits were preserved and provided a great help in learning the way of a pastor.

"No, it's your piety and persistence that have moved God, and I'm just an insignificant guide. Also, put the mask on, or someone will be going to vomit again. ”

As he spoke, Monlia handed over a metal mask.

Seeing this thing, the corners of Jack's mouth twitched uncontrollably slightly, and he immediately took the mask and used it to cover his face, which can be called "the scene of a serial car accident".

In fact, if he knew that the charisma attribute had such a big impact on his appearance, he would never choose to reduce it to such a miserable level as three points.

What's even more outrageous is that when you wear a fully enclosed helmet or the metal mask in front of you, its charm attribute will skyrocket from three to eight.

However, Jack still chose to put on a mask and walked out of the temple gate as usual, and said hello to his teammates who were waiting at the door.

"Good morning, how's your progress at the Faculty of Nature?"

"Didn't you see how I was dressed today?"

Wu Sheng pointed to the brand-new inlaid leather armor on his body, a long sword and a short sword pinned to his belt, and behind him there was a compound bow and a quiver full of arrows.

There is no doubt that such a complete set of equipment is a reward that can only be obtained after graduating from the corresponding academy.

Wearing it means gaining a true class level of LV1.

"Hahahaha! Well done! I knew you were a natural warrior. As it happens, I have just become a full-fledged pastor, and I expect to receive my graduation kit tomorrow. When the time comes, we will apply to leave the floating city and go out into the outside world. Jack laughed happily.

Wu Sheng nodded with a smile: "No problem, I'll wait for you." By the way, what do you think about the recent uproar? ”

Hearing this question, Jack immediately showed a disdainful expression, and sneered and sarcastically said: "One hundred gold coins may indeed be a huge amount of money for us now."

But don't forget, the player's level increases over time.

The stronger the strength and the higher the rank, the more means of obtaining money and wealth will naturally be.

At that time, you may complete a dangerous mission, collect a few loot from the corpses of the enemy, and easily sell them for hundreds or even thousands of gold coins.

Therefore, at this stage, it is important to lay a good foundation and work hard to improve the professional level.

What's more, it normally takes at least seven or eight months from pregnancy to childbirth, and even if some strange bloodlines can shorten the time to conceive, three or four months is still inevitable.

During this time, I believe that with your strength and my strength, you will definitely be able to earn much more than a hundred gold coins.

Those idiots are completely blinded by this interest in front of them.

In less than a month or two, they will regret the choice they have made. ”

Wu Sheng nodded thoughtfully: "Makes sense."

Oh, by the way, I'll tell you that there are six more people in the School of Nature who graduated with me.

One of them is a druid, and the other five are rangers.

In addition, there are also seventy people on the Warrior Academy who have graduated or are about to graduate, and there are almost twenty in the Thieves Academy.

In short, there seems to be a lot of veterans and killers like you and me.

I've also found that the learning and training time for the spellcasting class is much longer than that of the warrior class.

Does this mean that the potential and combat effectiveness of the former are much higher than those of the latter? ”

"Oh? Wouldn't that be better! Although we are in competition with them to a certain extent, we are also comrades in the same camp. If it's convenient, it's a good idea to reach out to the other teams to see if they can work together. Jack touched his chin and said what he thought.

"Got it. When I'm done with today's task in the cafeteria, I'm going to try to get in touch with each other. ”

With that, Wu Sheng turned around and was about to leave.

But before he could take a few steps, he heard Jack's extremely surprised shout from behind him: "Wait! Can you also cook? ”

"Hey, hey! Of course! I came from a cooking class. ”

Wu Sheng turned around and gave his teammates a confident smile, and then disappeared without a trace through the street at breakneck speed.

"Cooking class? Just kidding! ”

Jack's mouth opened in disbelief.

Because in his impression, the soldiers in charge of cooking in the army are generally far away from the battlefield, and some have not even touched a gun a few times in their service career, how can they have such a fierce combat effectiveness, and even suffer from the problem of murder addiction.

However, considering the extremely complex identities of these "old popsicles" who have been sleeping for three hundred years like themselves, there are basically people from all over the world and different industries, as well as children who are in their teens with terminal illnesses, and a tough fighter who can cook seems to be no big deal.

Thinking of this, Jack immediately shook his head and cleared all those nonsense guesses and thoughts out of his mind, planning to use the last day to go to the training ground to practice his melee skills.

Although a priest does not need to learn to put on and use almost any type of weapon or armor like a warrior, it is necessary to master a weapon.

And the weapon he chose was a "can-opening artifact" weighing more than thirty kilograms - a war hammer.

On Earth, it is impossible for such a heavy cold weapon to be used in actual combat.

Because no human can lift it up and swing it and keep fighting, not even the legendary heroes and macho men.

Typically, a warhammer weighs less than a kilogram.

But in the current world full of magical power, the bodies of many creatures will be strengthened to a certain extent under the effect of magical energy.

In particular, Jack, who fuses the blood of ogres and giants, has a strength attribute of up to twenty points, which is completely equivalent to a small humanoid crane.

Not to mention 30 kilograms, even 50 kilograms or 100 kilograms can be easily picked up.

But considering the long continuous battle, he still chose a relatively conservative weight.

As for the other hand that is free, of course, it chooses to hold a shield to increase its protection.

It didn't take long for Jack to collide with the large corpse-embedded creature in the training ground, which was responsible for actual combat sparring.

Whenever the hammer struck the heavy steel shield, it made a deafening loud noise, causing other Priest Trainee players passing by to stop and watch.

Because the strong impact and sense of power is really shocking.

At the same time, far away on the second floor of the tall tower in the center of the floating city.

Vanessa was looking through hundreds of applications from players who had graduated from the respective academies, and it took a full minute before he raised his head and asked Tyrantiel, who was standing in front of him, "What do you think of this situation?" ”

"Until Lord Soth has found and locked in the location of the new world, I think the best thing to do is to find something to do for them first. For example, let them travel to another continent to participate in our population migration program. ”

After a little thought, Tyrantil quickly came up with a solution.

Because neither Zuo Si nor he expected that there would be so many masters in this group of players who had completed their training and obtained professional levels in less than half a month.

Vanessa immediately shook her head: "No." The main goal of the migration is to control and capture these people alive, so that these guys are afraid that they will not stage a bloody massacre. ”

"So what do you say you should do? It is obviously not possible to continue to leave this group of people in the Floating City, many of them are full of a strong desire to kill in their hearts, and the devil knows what will happen if they hold back for a long time. ”

Tyrantil frowned and pointed out the problem.

The more he learned about these souls from another world, the more he understood that this was a dangerous double-edged sword.

If it is used well, it will naturally make the enemy feel unparalleled despair.

But if you don't use it well, you may eat yourself.

Of course, considering that Zuo Sihe obeys his orders, Isadora always holds the key to the final switch, this danger is still within a controllable range for the time being.

"I remember some time ago, didn't it say that in the south near the mountains, there were signs of a floating city flying? It's better to send these people over for a field investigation first. It's best if you find nature, and if you can't find it, it's good to let them clean up the undead over there and increase their combat experience. ”

Vanessa, after careful consideration, made a bold decision.

Since Zuo Si had previously sent a signal amplifier made of magic, psionic energy, and technology into a synchronous orbit through the legendary magic [Nailed into the Sky], the player's range of movement in this world has expanded to a very surprising extent.

With the floating city as the center, the radius is more than 10,000 kilometers within the coverage area.

And that's not all!

Even five kilometers underground can keep the signal open.

It can even be said that as long as a few more similar magical satellites are launched, it will not be a problem to completely cover the entire planet.

The only downside is that the cost of making this thing is very high, starting at millions of gold for each.

Once it breaks down or is smashed by a meteorite from outer space, there is no possibility of recycling and repairing it, so you can only build a new one and throw it on.

Even if Zuo Si has a big business now, it is impossible to launch several at once to directly cover the entire planet, but to ensure that the player's activities in his sphere of influence are not restricted for the time being.

What's more, the magic satellite is the same as the first generation of giant beast electromagnetic cannons, which is something that is made at any cost when there is a strong demand at present, and there is a lot of room for improvement in both design and technology, and there is no need to make too much at once, just enough for the time being.

Tyrantiel's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea, just to test the stability of the psionic signal by the way." But how do you get them? Do you want to use crowd teleportation magic? ”

"No, you can't use magic, otherwise you can easily catch energy fluctuations if there's a floating city nearby.

Didn't the weapons design and development department come up with a tool called an airship last week?

Let these players ride the experimental One that was just made.

When the time comes, pack up some more supplies to replenish and neutralize the magic plague, and then release a large quest with great rewards. ”

In this way, after the discussion between Vanessa and Tyrantiel, the player's first outing mission was finalized.

You must know that although Zuo Si and the lichs in the organization have captured and cleaned up the large groups of undead creatures gathered in major cities, there will still be scattered small groups of undead wandering in those mountains, jungles and villages.

No one knows whether the mutated bacteria and viruses they carry are still infectious, and it is not known whether some of the undead have evolved self-awareness and intelligence under the baptism of negative energy for a long time.

Especially for players who only have a real class level of LV1, one mistake can lead to total annihilation.

However, Vanessa and Tyrantiel feel that the player's combat effectiveness should not only be based on the class level, but also the various knowledge and professional skills they have mastered while they are alive.

……

On the other hand, Zuo Si, who returned to the Faren Continent, did not know that the "Fourth Natural Calamity" under his command was about to set off for the first mission.

He was now reading the information sent by the little devil while petting the white bear cub lying at his feet, which had grown to the size of a black bear.

Thanks to a series of creature modifications, and thanks to the natural powers of the legendary druid, the little creature is no longer as skinny as he was when he first arrived, but is very robust and fat.

The head is not as slender as an ordinary polar white bear, but as round and cute as a brown bear.

Two of the bear's paws with exaggerated proportions, as well as the metallic claws hidden under the pads, still show that its pedigree is no longer as simple as a simple white bear.

The few baby teeth that have only grown are sharp enough to easily crush even the hardest rocks.

If you take a closer look at the thick hair, you will see that the skin, which should be black, has a metallic sheen, as hard as steel.

With a magnifying glass, you can also see that the seemingly smooth skin is actually made up of fish scales that are tightly spliced together.

You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si has implanted this white bear cub with some "weird" bloodlines with the ability to devour and manipulate metal.

Although there is not much change in appearance, the bones, muscles, blood, and internal organs in the body are actually very different from those of white bears and even mammals.

This guy is holding a ball of cold iron worth tens of thousands of gold coins at the moment, dipping the cream on the plate from time to time, and then putting it in his mouth and nibbling it with relish.

The sound of cracking, clattering metal breaking made the little devil's eyes full of fear.

It had no doubt that the strange bear, which had established a psychic connection with its master, could bite its head and even half of its body in one bite.

"Interesting! Unexpectedly, there were so many hidden people in Ascatla, and even the families of the six council members were infiltrated. These Mind Snatchers are really beyond my expectations. ”

Zuo Si casually left the information he had just finished reading on the table, with a hint of mockery evident in his tone.

You must know that there are more than thirty Mind Flayers, operating under the noses of the Shadow Thieves, the Masked Mage Guild, and the Knights of the Burning Heart, and they have not been detected at all.

Some of them have also set up secret strongholds, trying to convert more companions or even create a new mastermind.

There are also several large merchant groups, some thieves' guilds under the shadow thieves, and more than twenty well-known adventure squads and mercenaries, all of which are secretly controlled by them.

If it continues to develop like this, it is not possible that in a few decades or even hundreds of years, the whole of Amm may fall, just like the Entangled Charm controls Kalinshan.

"Great hosts! Do you think you should do something to wipe out these Mind Flayers? Or send your Mind Flayer to take the Hidden Ones for your own use? The little devil asked with an evil smile on his face.

Zuo Si waved his hand slightly: "No, there is no need for this. Later, pack these materials together and send them to the six-member council, and let them handle it themselves. In contrast, I was more interested in the book and its author. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si picked up "Heroes Intertwined with Light and Darkness Volume II" on the table.

You don't have to ask to know that this thing is the latest work from his former bard teammate, Kers.

But the problem is, there's a lot of content in it that definitely shouldn't be known to a mere mortal like him.

These include threatening the gods with Eldrazi in the Pantheon, a trip to the Dark Regions to bombard Angel Poisoncore and Shar incarnations who became the god of spores, and a detailed battle with Shane VII to take out the Entanglement Talisman and Ivy Korasagran's "Sharp Teeth".

It can even be said that all the big moves that Zuo Si made in Faerun, the other party seems to be able to learn the truth through some channel.

There is something abnormal behind the whole book.

And this feeling was vaguely felt when I read the first book.

The little devil was undoubtedly very aware of this, and immediately reported cautiously: "Master with infinite wisdom, after you mentioned this matter last time, I sent someone to Waterdeep City to investigate this guy named Kers.

It was discovered that he had parted ways with his two former teammates a long time ago.

At present, he lives in the house of a wealthy widow, and he indulges in pleasure every day except writing, and has no sign of contact with anyone or power at all, and it is said that even his personality has changed greatly.

This is obviously very suspicious! ”

"What do you mean...... Could he have been controlled or possessed? Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and guessed.

"That's right! Maybe it's an evil god who is interested in you, a devil duke from the hell of Bato, or a demon lord from the bottomless abyss. Anyway, what is certain is that this is definitely a conspiracy against you! As for these two books, they are actually bait that the other party deliberately puts out to attract your attention. ”

As he said this, a terrifying red light burst out of the little devil's eyes.

Although it is not outstanding in terms of strength, and it can even be said that it is quite weak, it clearly has a lot of experience and an innate talent for analyzing intrigues.

Zuo Si lowered his head and thought about it repeatedly for several minutes, before he stood up suddenly and said in a slightly playful tone: "Since the other party wants to attract my attention, then I might as well come and pay a visit." ”

"What? Are you crazy! This is most likely a trap! The little devil hurriedly dissuaded.

"Traps? So what?

Don't forget, this is the continent of Faeron controlled by His Majesty the God of God, a special main material plane even in the multiverse.

Whether it's the gods, the Devil Duke, or the Abyss Lord hiding behind Kers, I have enough means to deal with it.

At present, the most important thing is to find out the identity and intentions of the other party. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si directly activated the teleportation magic.

Seeing this, the white bear cub who was eating cold iron dipped in cream immediately poured the little cold iron and the cream in the rice bowl into his mouth in one bite, and then hugged his master's calf with extremely skillful movements, and teleported away with him.

Next Second......

A man and a bear appear in the mansion in Waterdeep, startling the maid who is cleaning the basement.

Upon learning of his employer's appearance, the butler Avis Haring immediately ran down from the stairs to report on his work and expenses during this time.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si was not interested in this at all, and directly threw the other party 5,000 gold coins as daily expenses, and refused to take the carriage driven by the servant, and walked straight out of the gate and disappeared into the endless crowd.

However, he did not rush to find Kers, but went to the Black Rod Tower first.

The elective couple of Kylburn and Leila had apparently anticipated Zosi's arrival, so they immediately invited him into the upper meeting room.

As soon as they met, Leila couldn't help but ask, "Is everything in that book true?" Did you really threaten the gods in the Pantheon? Afterwards, he traveled to the Dark Lands to kill a new god and destroy an incarnation of the goddess of the night, Shar? That massive rift in the Supreme Forest to the underworld is your masterpiece? ”

"Hmmm! There may be some discrepancies in the details, but I did it right. Zuo Si admitted very simply.

"The goddess is above! Although I knew that sooner or later I would do something crazy with your powers, that would have gone too far, right? Kelburn exclaimed, holding his forehead.

Because compared to what Zuo Si has done recently, it is really nothing that Samast, who was called a madman, founded the Worship Dragon Sect and bleed the incarnation of the Lord of Dawn, Loshanda.

He couldn't understand why the young man in front of him always looked rational and calm, but the things he could do were more outrageous and exaggerated.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I can't help it." Threatening the gods in the Pantheon is because they want to limit and even seal my ability to travel through time and space, and the Dark Realms are the goddess of the night, Shar, who has calculated on me first, and I have to be forced to fight back, even with Shane VII, the god of suffering, the god of justice, and the god of loyalty and courage. ”

"Hah! So you don't think you're responsible at all, and you haven't done anything wrong? ”

Kelburn was laughed at on the spot.

You must know that in order to find out what was going on with the loud noises and vibrations coming from the Supreme Forest, he sent several elite squads, and suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Santarim Society.

The spies of the Harpists' League died batch after batch.

But the result?

The result was that all of this was nothing more than a trivial aftermath of that divine war in the Fungal Forest.

In other words, all of them died in vain.

"I can't say that I don't have any responsibility at all, but I'm certainly not the main one."

Zuo Siyi made his butt on the sofa and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Just when Kyle was about to say something, Layla on the side immediately stopped him by shaking her head with a very vague movement, and then continued to probe: "Then you came to Waterdeep this time to find out the true identity of Kers and the forces behind him, right?" ”

Zuo Si first took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly, and then nodded with a smile: "You guessed it." I'm pretty sure he's certainly not the same Kers I knew before. As the lords of Waterdeep, I believe the two of you should have noticed this guy a long time ago, right? If you don't mind, can you share the information? ”

"It's okay to share intelligence. But first you have to tell us, what if this guy disguised as Kers is amazing? You don't want to use that powerful artifact again in Waterdeep, do you? ”

There was a hint of nervousness in Lyra's tone.

There's no way not to be nervous!

Through some ancient texts and materials, she had found the information on the scepter that originally belonged to the ancient sun god Amanata, as well as the terrifying power of absorbing the power of faith and transforming it into a divine impact.

This can be glimpsed from the huge sinkhole in the Supreme Forest that leads to the dark realm.

In addition, it may be very difficult for others to gather enough faith power in the continent of Faeron, and they may even annoy other gods and their churches because of this.

But for Zuo Si, who has the ability to travel freely in different time and space, it is even easier than eating and drinking.

Lyra couldn't imagine if the young man in front of her had fought with that ancient evil creature disguised as Kers, and had a direct impact on Waterdeep, this historic city would still exist.

"You're overthinking. I just wanted to find out the identity and purpose of the other party, that's all, and I didn't plan to do it. What's more, I'm not a demon, how could I drag the innocent people of Waterdeep in. ”

Zuo Si didn't even hesitate and gave a promise straightforwardly.

One of his greatest strengths as a brigade mage is that he can always keep the initiative firmly in his own hands.

As long as he doesn't want to fight, he can directly teleport away with the power of sparks.

At that time, any dimensional anchors and space locks will be useless.

"Excellent! I hope you do what you say. ”

Laila, who had received the answer she wanted, breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her head to wink at her husband.

Kelburn neatly threw a sheep's head mark with an evil red light on the table, and asked with a serious face, "I think you should know this, right?" ”

"A devil's mark from Bartow's hell?" Zuo Si picked it up and glanced at it.

"Nope! This is not the mark of an ordinary devil duke or a plane lord, but the mark of Asmodeus, the lord of the nine layers of hell.

Obviously, some of your actions or abilities have piqued his interest, and that's why he deliberately publishes those books to get your attention.

In addition, I also noticed that the house was now filled with an evil aura from Bato's Hell, which was obviously not something that ordinary high-ranking devils could do.

So you'd better be careful and find a way to escape if you notice something is wrong. ”

Kelburn warned with an unprecedented solemnity.

Because whoever it is, even the gods on the high, must be extremely cautious when facing Asmodeus, the lord of hell, or risk falling into the trap he has set in advance.

On top of that, unlike the demon lords of the Abyss, each of whom has a clear origin and origin, no one knows who Asmodeus really is and where he came from.

In some very old rumors, he is described as a powerful divine power that fell to the original hellish plane, or an ancient evil creature that represents some kind of rule and order at the beginning of the multiverse.

And the devil was born from his blood, which was full of evil and filth.

In other texts written by unknown gods or other creatures, Asmodeus is depicted as an angel created by the gods.

Infected with the evil qualities of his mortal enemies in battle with demons, he succeeded in stealing power through cunning stratagem and the observance of contracts by the gods of order, and finally established his own Bato Hell, drawing energy from the souls of fallen mortals.

But whatever the truth, there is no doubt about the power of Asmodeirs.

For thousands of years, he simply commanded his army of demons to fend off a steady stream of demonic attacks.

Moreover, other ambitious Great Devils have never been able to truly threaten the supremacy of this Lord of the Nine Layers of Hell, even if several Layer Lords join forces.

"Asmodeurs ......"

Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and whispered out this name that frightened countless mortals, and instead of feeling the slightest fear, he was full of anticipation for the next meeting.

Because he was too curious about what Asmodeus's true identity was?

Why do the devils chase after themselves?

He even went so far as to get his attention by writing a book?

Just as Zuo Si was about to get up and say goodbye, Kelburn suddenly added again: "I almost forgot to say that the elf you asked me to help investigate last time, Rantis, has already had results.

At present, there are less than twenty legendary archers recorded on Yongju Island.
