Chapter 449: The Gift of the Craftsman's God of Gunde (10,000 Words Chapter)

Lantan Island is located on the edge of the Sea of Traces, south of the Sea of Swords and north of the Chult Jungle. If you take the boat by sea, you can only get to the NΓ€lancer Islands in about five days.

However, due to the influence of ocean currents and wind directions, as well as the terrifying monsters and monsters in the deep sea area, it has always been in a state of near-isolation.

The people on the continent of Faeron heard the most rumors about Lantan Island, that is, the inhabitants of the island worshipped the god of craftsmen, Gunde, but despised and even hated magic.

The gnomes and human inventors here have used their knowledge and skills to build countless things that are shocking and incomprehensible to the average person in this world.

Complex vehicles with suspension, shock absorbers and replaceable parts are rarely seen anywhere else; agricultural machinery that can be powered by burning coal or wood to drive steam; An alarm device that can make loud noises and sounds when triggered by electric current; It is composed of a large number of gears and hinges to form large and small mechanical self-striking bells; forging hammers and automatic looms driven by water flow; A high-powered telescope capable of observing other objects in the entire crystal wall system; There are also what can be called the most sophisticated system surgical tools in the world; It is said that even the expensive alchemy muskets and cannons were originally invented here.

Because of the turbulent years, Gonder once descended to Lantan Island in the form of a dwarf sage. As a token of gratitude to the locals for sheltering him, he secretly passed on a unique gunpowder recipe.

So the island has a terrifying firepower that will make any intruder feel numb. Once a large fleet of pirates who did not know whether they were alive or dead tried to loot towns and loot their belongings, only to be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish before they could get close to the beach near the coast.

Hot weapons fight cold weapons, unless there is a high-level spellcaster to help, otherwise it is basically as many as you come.

If you walk in the three most important cities of Lantan Island, Sandra, Black Deer City and Anchor, you will even have the feeling of living on earth in the 18th and 19th centuries.

As the ruler of the island, the Church of Gond has always encouraged people to create and invent, and has given the most talented inventors rewards ranging from honor to money.

In particular, the chiming bell, a specialty of the Church, is arguably the most beautiful and accurate timekeeping tool other than magical items, and is loved by nobles, wealthy merchants, and scholars.

Even the mages would not hesitate to drop a lot of gold coins to buy two or three. As a subordinate of Ogma, the god of knowledge, Gonde and his church have always maintained a very good cooperative relationship with Zosi.

The technology and craftsmanship that the latter brought back from other worlds can be said to have benefited this craftsman and the god of craftsmanship a lot.

The number of believers also expanded in Luskan, the Nellancer Islands, Am, and other places. The only regret for Gonde was that he never managed to find a chance to talk to the young Master of the Brigade alone and exchange his views and perspectives in the relevant field.

According to the original plan, he planned to show off various inventions when he left Candlestick and headed north for Baldur's Gate a few years ago

The "Xuanqi Palace" descended to incarnate. But who knew that those dukes didn't know what kind of wind was pumping in their brains, and directly expelled all the priests of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and also forbade Zuo Si to enter the city, causing the entire arrangement to go bankrupt in an instant.

If it weren't for the fact that Gonde's camp was absolutely neutral and had a good temper, he would definitely have let these mortals who had ruined their plans go around without being able to eat and go.

Even so, he issued an order to the churches operating in the area of Baldur's Gate, forbidding them to cooperate with any of the dukes and their vassals.

As a direct result, the four dukes were no longer able to get any help from the church of the god of craftsmen for the next few years, and even the most prosperous shipbuilding industry was shrinking due to the loss of craftsmen.

With Zuo Si reaching a cooperation agreement with the goddess of wealth holding gold, the entire west coast of the Faren Continent instantly ushered in great changes.

At the behest of Gonde, the originally closed island of Lantan became the first founding member of the Trade Alliance, and also ushered in the first permanent direct land route in history.

When the huge airship landed in the clearing, and carried a steady stream of the various resources that the island desperately needed, both dwarf inventors and human inventors boiled.

They scrambled up and asked the Church of Fortune personnel in charge of running it about how the giant flying machine worked, as well as the various technologies used.

If it weren't for the Church of Gond, these people would not have been able to rush up and dismantle the airship.

One crazy guy even tried to poke his head into the giant oil engine to see what was going on, and he was almost crushed into meat sauce.

Thanks to the transformation of the airship, it has long been conscious and intelligent, and it stopped the rotation of this engine in time to avoid a tragedy.

Looking at the eyes around him that glowed with green light and a strong desire for knowledge, the gold-holding priest took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "You people here are really a little too enthusiastic. ”

"Hahahaha! They are all inventors, with more curiosity than ordinary people, and they are also the most valuable treasure on Lan Tan Island. But don't worry, I warned everyone not to mess around. The representative sent by the Church of Gond couldn't help but laugh.

It was easy to see from the familiarity of the conversation that the two had obviously known each other for a long time. In other words, since the goddess of wealth holds gold and the god of craftsmen, Gonde, they have always been close allies, so there is often cooperation between the two churches.

After all, the believers of Gongde are good at inventing and creating, while the believers who hold gold are good at turning these created things into wealth, and the relationship between the two sides is mutually beneficial.

Also closely related to the two gods is the god of travel and exploration, Shan Dakor. The advent of airships has greatly accelerated the speed of population movement, allowing civilians to travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away to countries and cities to appreciate the local scenery, customs, and culture.

This has somewhat expanded the influence of the god of travel and exploration. Since this is the first time that the route has been opened, the residents of the isolated island of Lantan are very interested in the specialties from the distant continent.

In less than two or three days, the cargo of the airship was sold out. With the profits and principal earned, Am's merchants went on a frenzy to purchase all kinds of machinery.

Especially the big and small clocks that can sell for a lot of money, as well as the intricate locks, gears, winches, pumps, automatic fans, and the ejection hook that adventurers and Shadow Thief love.

When it was time to take off and leave, a high-ranking priest of Gonder accompanied him on the journey to Ascatla, holding a beautiful box the size of his palm.

"What's in here?" The Goddess of Fortune priest asked with interest.

"Gifts. A thank you gift from the god of great craftsmen to Lord Soth, a special tool made by his own hands. The priest of Gonde replied with a proud face.

"I see!" The gold-holding priest nodded thoughtfully, not continuing to ask. Because he knew that something like this involving the gods was not something he should inquire about.

In this way, the two spent a few pleasant days together in the luxurious cabin on the upper deck of the airship. After arriving in Ascalla, the capital of Am, the priest of Gonder did not stop for a second, and went straight to the mage tower to pay a visit.

Since Zuo Si himself had been staying in the mage tower for the past two days and watching the development of the situation, he appeared in the meeting room to meet the other party in a few minutes or so.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Soth." The priest of Gunde took the lead in touching his chest with one hand, slightly owing a debt.

Zuo Si returned the salute with a smile: "I'm also glad to meet you, the servant of the God of Craftsmen." I don't know if there is anything important about you running all the way from Lantan Island? ”

"The great Gond has sent down an oracle and ordered me to give you a gift." As he spoke, the priest picked up the beautiful box with both hands and placed it on the table.

It was easy to tell from the sound of the collision that it was made of wood.

Visually, it is almost the size of an adult man's palm, boxy, and weighs at least half a kilogram.

"Gifts? Give me? Zuo Si stared at the box with a surprised expression. The priest nodded slightly, "Yes." The great Gonde also asked me to convey that he is looking forward to seeing you in the near future in the Hall of Mystery at Baldur's Gate. Oh, and by the way, there's also a letter from the Lantan Inventors Association. Many people are so impressed with the airship you build that they would like to invite you to the academy in Sandra City for an academic and technical exchange. Looking at the two things on the table, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Okay, I think I understand what's going on." First of all, I would like to thank the great craftsman god Kang for his gift, and I accepted this gift. However, I am afraid that I will not have much time for academic exchanges. Moreover, the super-large carrier of the airship is not a simple technical product, but incorporates a lot of magical power that is not easy to explain. So even if we communicate, nothing will come of it, so please refuse it for me. ”

"yes, that's a shame." The priest of Gonde had a look of disappointment evident on his face.

He didn't linger long, and after a cup of tea, he quickly got up and took his leave. After the other party left the mage tower and walked away completely, Zuo Si opened the lid of the sealed box and saw two silver metal balls lying in the center of the silk decoration.

However, unlike the smooth surface of the sphere, the two balls are formed by dense very thin silk threads rolled together.

And the wire seems to be alive, constantly moving in some kind of irregular motion.

Out of curiosity, Zuo Si picked up one of them. Moment! A great deal of knowledge about how to use this mass of wire was put into the brain.

Next Second...... Under his control, the wires quickly unfolded and formed the shape of a large-caliber revolver with incredible speed.

Six bullets made of wire are loaded directly into the nest. Without any hesitation! Zuo Si directly picked it up and aimed at the wall not far away that was blessed with a large amount of magic protection, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! With a loud bang, and scattered fires and stone chips, six very visible bullet holes appeared in the walls of the mage tower.

However, the warhead that was supposed to be embedded in it disappeared without a trace.

"Is it a ranged weapon with the equivalent of +5? It's kind of interesting! After briefly checking the gaps in the wall, an expression of interest appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Then he picked up another metal ball and went to the next room dedicated to testing the magic of the powerful plastic energy, first changing it into the shape of a shotgun, rifle, grenade gun and other thermal weapons to test its power.

Even by combining the two spheres into one, they form heavy firepower such as anti-materiel sniper rifles, bazookas, mortars, etc.

Of course, in addition to weapons, these two spheres made of metal wire can also be built into various cold weapons, tools, and some extremely accurate components.

Anyway, as long as the total volume does not exceed the maximum limit of the two metal wire balls, and the user knows the structure and principle of the item, then there is no problem at all.

In addition, the parts that are fired into bullets and cannonballs will return immediately after completing the attack.

In other words, if used as a firearm, it is equivalent to having infinite bullets with enchantment level +5.

The name of these two lumps of wire is called

"Extreme Craftsmanship" is a special artifact created by Gonde using the three priesthoods of craftsmanship, skill, and forging.

As the name suggests, it's not just a weapon, it's a tool, using a special magical metal that's been enhanced with divine powers, and can build almost anything, from human organs to entire brains.

The upper limit is proportional to the knowledge, skill and creativity of the user. In a way, this is what countless scientists on the planet dream of

"Perfect material", whose physical and chemical properties can be adjusted as required. After figuring out the true purpose of these two pieces of metal wire, Zuo Si was like a child who suddenly got a new toy, hiding in the room and constantly making all kinds of attempts.

It took several hours before he stopped and looked at Kozf, the Chaos Demon Dog in the laboratory, which was sealed in different containers, and said in a slightly admiring tone: "It is really worthy of the god of craftsmen, and he can actually create such a magical substance. You know? I'm still having a headache about how to use you better and safer. But now, I suddenly have an idea. ”

"Don't waste your efforts! It's useless! No matter what method you use, you can't really kill me! It's impossible to control me forever! Someday I'll run away! Kozv controlled the mouth sealed in the jar and roared with a fierce voice.

Since the seals of the various parts of the body are relatively close together, it can now be manipulated slightly by means of induction.

But if you want to break the seal, it's just thinking too much.

"Hehe, don't be so confident. Don't forget, you were tied to a rope made by Gonde and couldn't move in the Noisy Tunnel. As he spoke, Zuosi took out the chains that had been used to bind Shirek, also made by Gonde and strengthened by the goddess of magic.

The moment he saw this thing, the eyes of the Chaos Demon Dog in another transparent jar finally revealed intense fear.

There is no doubt that this thing can lock up a god, and naturally it can lock it up. Immediately after that, Zuo Si took out another thing that scared Kozf, and that was the Dog Killer Sword.

"You...... What exactly do you want to do? The Chaos Demon Dog asked in a nervous tone.

"It's easy! I'm going to use the Dogkiller Sword to cut your brain and soul a little. And then use the wires to re-patch and build a brain that is 100% obedient to me. Finally, use the chain to make a strong binding collar, just in case. In this way, you can turn this rebellious vicious dog into an obedient little milk puppy. Well, I have a good idea, right? With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si picked up the Dog Killer Sword and opened the container containing the brain.

The moment the sharp blade pierced into the cortex, Kozv's soul instantly felt indescribable pain and let out a creepy howl.

"Ahhh No! Stop it! Stop it! You damn lunatic! ”

"Okay, don't scream so loudly, you'll freak out the students in class. Isn't it just a little pain, and it's over. Don't worry, my movements are fast, and it will be over in a few days at most. Zuo Si said as he sped up the speed of his hand.

Through repeated attempts, he soon found the place where the brain of this ancient evil creature was responsible for thinking.

Due to the Chaos Dog's near-infinite regenerative abilities, he didn't need to worry about accidentally cutting the wrong place and paralyzing Kozv or dying instantly.

And with his powerful necromantic magic attainments, Zuo Si also figured out the structure and working principle of his brain cell tissue in a very short period of time.

Finally, in one go, all the brain tissue involved in the mind is stripped out and sealed separately, and the missing parts are reconstructed with a metal ball.

This step alone took several days. After all the preparatory work was done, Zuo Si unlocked the seal on his head and stuffed the transformed brain into his skull.

After confirming that there was no problem, he began to concentrate on creating a chain for restraint, which was directly placed around the Chaos Dog Demon's neck in the form of a collar.

The next step is to remove the seals on the body, limbs, tail, etc...... After Kozv was almost completely released, Zuo Si minimized his terrifying magic resistance through the Dog Killer Sword, using dozens of wishing spells and powerful nine-ring transformation magic to work together, transforming it from a grotesque, vicious, huge mastiff with red eyes and a rat's tail into a cute black and white milk dog.

Of course, this is only a change in appearance, and there is no change in its essence and ability.

"Lie down!"

"Get down!"

"Shake hands!"

"Roll in!"

"Uh-oh!"

"Here, take another turn!" …… With a wicked smile on his face, Zuo Si put this freshly baked Chaos Dog Demon to the test.

It is not difficult to see from the password that he does not regard it as a powerful, terrifying, and creepy ancient evil thing at all, but as his own pet.

This move undoubtedly drove Kozv a little mad. It's a pity that this vicious dog is now sealed with part of its brain, consciousness and soul, and it can't do anything at all.

Only to watch the body that should belong to you, under the control of the brain made of wire, flatter its owner like a real dog.

"Ancient evil? An immortal monster that can't be killed? A Chaos Dog Demon that fears the gods? Hahahaha! Zuo Si let out a burst of unbridled laughter, and at the same time rubbed the head of the little milk dog in front of him wildly with his hand.

There is no doubt that the successful control and enslavement of this powerful ancient evil creature filled his heart with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

The only downside, though, is that Kozv's sealed brain, consciousness, and soul can't be too far away from his body, otherwise he will begin to slowly regenerate.

Just as Zuo Si was teasing this soulless puppy, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by pounced on him and gave him a warm hug, his cheeks were pressed together frantically, rubbing, kissing and sniffing his body, and the whole person was trembling slightly because of overexcitement and excitement.

"Yin Shadora? You've merged your three personalities together! Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.

Because such a bold and intimate action would not have been possible with the previous three personalities.

Even the most naughty little witch is mainly seductive at best.

"Hmmm! In addition to the absolutely san, calm personality that has become the mastermind, I am now whole again. And without the restraint of reason and calmness, I also became more enthusiastic and bold. How about it, do you like me like to be like a raging flame now? Yin Shadora raised her head slightly, her face flushed with extreme pleasure, and her whole person was like a blooming rose, exuding an amazing charm that was completely different from before.

In particular, the psychic abilities that emanate from the unconscious will affect the creatures around them all the time.

There is no doubt that if this girl, who is about to fully mature, was in the absolute neutral camp before, then it should be the chaotic neutral camp now.

In particular, the strong individualism and the unrestrained nature of doing whatever you want have been revealed in the few seconds after the meeting.

"No matter what you become, there will always be a place in my heart that belongs to you." Zuo Si raised his hand and brushed the girl's eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, and cheeks, and finally pressed her fingers to her lips.

"But for me, you're all there is to life!" Yin Shaduo suddenly had a very moved expression, followed by opening his mouth and biting his fingertips, his eyes flashing with a gentle and affectionate light like water, as if he was sending out some kind of invitation.

But before she could make the next move, she heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately following the Demon Elf Assassin Field, he broke in directly and shouted in a panicked voice, "Oh no! Not long ago, a fire broke out at the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild. Although Reynolds Bloodhead blocked the scene in time, it is said that many people died......" As soon as she was halfway through the sentence, she noticed Zuo Si sitting on the chair, and Yin Shadora, who was almost hanging on the latter, and the ambiguous movements of the two of them, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.

The atmosphere in the room became very awkward for a while. Zuo Si could even feel that Yin Shadora in his arms was brewing a terrifying murderous aura, planning to directly stir himself up

The intruder of the "good thing" directly erases his consciousness and becomes a waste person who can't even take care of himself.

"Uh-I don't think I'm here at the right time?" Fed, who came back to his senses, subconsciously shuddered, and his eyes revealed a strong fear.

As an ace assassin, she has a very keen sense of murderous intent. Especially for spellcasters like Yin Shadora who have powerful psychic abilities, when they have malice towards someone in their hearts, they often form a kind of mental oppression.

Not to mention a keen assassin, even a relatively dull ordinary person can detect it.

"Soth! Can I do something about her? Yin Shadora asked in an extremely cold and chilly tone.

Almost at the same time, the psychic power she unleashed quickly surged towards the Demon Elf Assassin, causing the latter to sweat as if he had seen some terrifying picture, and then quickly crouched on the ground and curled up in a trembling ball.

There is no doubt that Fidel failed to withstand the momentary psychic invasion and ended up in a terrible hallucination.

Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately slapped the girl's ass hard, and stopped in a half-joking tone: "Don't make trouble." You should know that she's my person, and she's here to report emergencies. Also, you came here from the Floating City, probably just to tell me that you have fused the three personalities back together, right? Yin Shadora, who was suddenly slapped the buttocks, first subconsciously let out a scream, then immediately softened her attitude, took the initiative to offer a kiss, and then blinked playfully and said, "Of course not." Vanessa asked me to let you know, he's almost ready to confirm the location of the other floating cities. The problem is that these floating cities, controlled by high-level undead spellcasters, seem to have formed an alliance. In other words, if we take the initiative to attack, we may have to face several floating cities at once. ”

"It doesn't matter. As for the remaining few Floating Cities, I will send Mutahar Floating City to deal with them later, so you will leave it alone for the time being. Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.

If it had been before, he might have had a headache controlling the massive number of undead creatures in the Floating City. But now, with the oil, the other party is basically the same as the free soldier source sent to the door.

As long as you wait for the diary to carry the oil one by one, it won't be long before these floating cities will become Zuo Si's belongings.

"Are you sure? I remember there's a floating city in it that should have all the information about the creator class you've been wanting to get, right? Yin Shadora asked with wide eyes and surprise.

Zuo Si replied with a smile: "Don't worry, that knowledge should be stored in the library management of the Central Tower, and it won't be easily damaged." And now I have a better way, I don't have to waste so much material to start a war to achieve my goals. Remember, force is always a last resort. If you rely too much on it, you will not only become a lost enemy and create many unnecessary enemies, but you may also fall into a terrible crisis. You know, I expect a lot from you. Promise me to be a smart, obedient girl, okay? If you're good enough, I can prepare a spark for you to become a traveling mage like me. ”

"Of course! As long as it is your wish, I will do my best to make it happen. Yin Shadora took Zuo Si's right hand and kissed it affectionately, and then put it on her soft chest, letting her feel her heart beating fiercely.

"That's good! As long as you don't make any trouble during this time, I'll give you a very, very special reward the next time we meet. As he spoke, Zuo Si gently moved his right hand and slid down, finally landing on the girl's flat lower abdomen.

Yin Shadora understood the meaning almost instantly, her whole face suddenly turned red, her eyes were full of joy and expectation, and she swore and promised: "I swear!" During this time, you will definitely obediently do nothing, just waiting for you to fulfill your promise today. ”

"Awesome! Now go ahead and get busy with you, I still have a lot of things to do in this world. With that, Zuo Si pinched the girl's chin and kissed the other party's lips, and then kicked the troubled girl out of the room.

When the latter passed through the portal and returned to the Floating City, he walked up to the Demon Elf Assassin, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Syllable! With a crisp sound echoing around, Fei De suddenly woke up from the environment, wiped the snot and tears on his face with a very fast movement, and asked in horror: "Hair...... What happened? Why did I suddenly go back in time! ”

"No, you're not going back in time. Instead, he was invaded by psychic abilities and trapped in memories of the past. But I'm curious about what a tragic thing you went through in your childhood to cry so sadly. It's a far cry from the strength and bravery you usually see. Zuo Si stared at the other party's eyes that had been trying to escape with interest.

But Fei De obviously didn't want to answer this, and immediately changed the subject: "Psychic ability? Damn it! That human girl who rode on top of you just now turned out to be a dangerous psychic sorcerer? Who is she? Your lover? Why haven't I seen her in the Mage Tower before? ”

"What, do you want to get to know Yin Shadora?" Zuo Si obviously saw the careful thinking of the Demon Elf Assassin, and asked rhetorically with a smile.

He didn't rush to use his magical powers to read the other person's thoughts or memories in an attempt to figure out what had happened in his childhood.

After all, that's just too boring. With the exception of Mind Flayer and Jace Beleren, who like to rely on their talent to act recklessly, most people who are good at seduction and psychic magic prefer to induce their targets to tell their inner secrets.

"Yin Shadora?" Fei De subconsciously frowned, but soon exclaimed, "Ah! I remember! She's Bernard's sister, and I met a few times two years ago. ”

"Good memory. However, you have to pay attention to the fact that the current Yin Shadora is two completely different people from the previous Yin Shadora. Zuo Si reminded meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Feder blinked inexplicably. Zuo Si touched his chin and explained: "Yin Shadora's mental state is different from ordinary people, and she does not have a fixed personality. She secretly cloned countless pieces of herself while I was away. Then strip out the personality fragments in the brain and stuff them into clones, and strengthen their own power by devouring each other, evolving, and growing. The Yin Shadora you saw just now was a new personality that had been devoured and fused at least dozens of times, and finally condensed, with almost no resemblance to the previous one. That's why, at such a young age, she's been able to gain magical and psychic abilities as powerful as the Mind Flayer's mastermind. ”

"Oh oh my God! This girl is crazy! But what's even more incredible to me is that you can actually handle her? The corners of Feide's mouth, who learned the truth, twitched and complained frantically.

"Because all of Yin Shadora's personalities like me and are attached to me, thinking that I am the only one of her kind in this world. Even if one day I had the idea of killing her. She would also kneel in front of her with joy and wait for death to come. There will be absolutely no resistance. Because Yin Shadora is more afraid of being abandoned by me than death. Zuo Si used very concise language to explain the relationship between himself and Yin Shadora.

That's why he just replied that no matter what the girl becomes, there will be a place for the other party in her heart.

Zuo Si obviously knew very well that the only person who would never betray him in this world, except for the various creatures and followers who were made into cards, was probably Yin Shadora.

Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, may be half counted. The rest is more or less with some interest factors.

As for Hermione, she obviously has a strong sense of independence and self-awareness, and may slowly develop to the stage where you can trust each other in the future, but now it can only be regarded as a relatively close boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to the Magic Earth for a long time.

"Unbelievable! Her feelings for you are so twisted and sick! Fei De couldn't help but shudder, obviously frightened by Yin Shadora's madness.

But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and responded: "You're right, it's very twisted and sick, so I will treat her as well as possible within the scope of allowability, so that she can also feel happiness from it, not just pain and suffering." ”

"Sounds ...... Are you still a good person? Feide's facial features were instantly tangled, and his tone revealed strong doubts.

She didn't need to ask to know that in her impression, a guy like Zuo Si who could make the Shadow Thief, the Masked Mage Guild, and the Amm Council feel fearful should obviously be out-and-out

"Bring the wicked" is right.

"Poof, hahaha! Don't put on a face, I didn't say I'm a good person. Zuo Si was visibly amused by the Demon Elf Assassin's reaction, then pursed the corners of his mouth and explained, "Let's try to empathize with each other. If there is a handsome, handsome, very intelligent and talented young man who suddenly expresses crazy love to you. And express your willingness to do anything for you, even if it is to give your own life. How would you react? ”

"Hmm...... I guess I'll give him a chance. After pondering for a moment, Fidel replied with obvious lack of confidence.

After all, lust is not the preserve of men, and women are no worse in this regard. Just look at the number of establishments dedicated to women in the city of Askatra, as well as the frequent noblewomen, businesswomen, adventurers, and mercenaries who are more in demand than men.

"Look, that's the problem. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as his or her sexual orientation is normal, he or she will often be extremely tolerant when facing the active pursuit of beautiful people of the opposite sex. Even if you know that the other party's emotions are a little distorted and abnormal, you usually won't speak ill of each other. But if you change to an ugly monster, then the situation will be completely reversed. This is determined by the instinct in the body that wants to reproduce. So most of my affection for Yin Shadora comes from this. Coupled with the intimacy that has resulted from long-term relationships, the current state has finally formed. Although occasionally I get angry at some crazy actions she makes, I always choose to forgive as long as I don't touch the bottom line. When he said this, Zuo Si inadvertently showed maturity and reason that were extremely incommensurate with his apparent age.

"Well, I think I understand what you mean." Feder nodded thoughtfully, and kept glancing out of the corner of his eye at the new allegiance in front of him.

"By the way, what did you say about the fire breaking out at the Shadow Thieves Guild headquarters?" Zuo Si decisively ended the previous topic and suddenly asked.

"Damn! You didn't remind me to forget it! It is said that Maiva took a group of men hired from an unknown place to launch a surprise attack in the last hours before dawn. At that time, there happened to be a meeting of many guild leaders who were still loyal to the headquarters. As a result, it was served by the other party. At least seven guild leaders and their lieutenants died, as well as a large number of entourage, bodyguards, and thugs. Reynold Bloodhead was completely furious and vowed to arrest all the murderers with a thousand cuts. He offered a reward of more than 100,000 gold coins. Right now, adventurers, bounty hunters, and mercenaries across Ascatla are in action to make that money. Feder quickly shook out all the information he knew.

Since Zuo Si had previously acquired a number of taverns, inns, and other service establishments in the city, and had also sent shapeshifters to infiltrate, he had his own intelligence network.

Whenever something happens, all kinds of rumors and news will be quickly passed back. In the past, these were collected and sorted out by the little devil who was a demon pet.

However, he has now been promoted to the Hellpurgatory and traveled to Sambia to keep an eye on the food war.

Fei De was obviously very interested in these, so Zuo Si threw the stall to the other party.

"Now that it has been confirmed that Maiva is behind it, why doesn't Reynold Bloodhead directly launch a counterattack, but instead use this roundabout method?" Zuo Si asked casually.

"Because Reynolds Bloodhead, who has suffered huge losses, does not dare to go to war head-on now. He needed time to gather his men and wait for reinforcements. What's more, there are clear rules within the Shadow Thieves that the headquarters cannot casually purge the subordinate guilds without getting evidence of actual betrayal. I think it's time to get in touch with the red-robed mage named Edwin. Otherwise, if he dies in this upheaval, we will lose the most crucial clue. Fei De analyzed with a serious face.

She had apparently not forgotten to take revenge on her previous employer and benefactor, Alan Linville.

"Alright, then listen to you, go meet the red-robed mage Edwin." Zuo Si got up from his chair and shook off his wrinkled clothes that had been crumpled by Yin Shadora.

Transformed into a puppy, Kozv follows his owner's ass like a pet. Soon, the two of them and the dog left the Mage Tower through the secret door of the sewer and went straight to the Bronze Crown Inn in the slums.

Almost at the same time, an underground guild war began in the streets of Ascatla.
