"Mr. Varro, what are you worried about?"

Tang Sen said with a smile: "We are friends who share hardships and sorrows, how can I cheat you?" ”

At this time, the three of them had passed through the portal to Faeron and entered the dark realm.

This is obviously a secret room, the portal is in the middle of the secret room, and the surrounding walls are covered with various strange style murals, and the only door to the outside world is tightly closed, with no gaps opening from the inside.

Tang Sen naturally expected this situation, since he knew that the portal from Seal City to Faeron was in the dark region, in the city of the Drow Elves, then it was very normal for the Drow Elves to hide this portal and not use it easily-

And they can't afford it, Faerun's consumption level and the consumption level of Imprint City are completely different things, and the money for one night in Imprint City is enough to spend a lifetime in Feren.

This portal is at most used by the drow elves as a backhand, so they can escape at any time in times of crisis, or spend a lot of money to go to the city of the mark to hire some powerful beings to solve the siege.

Obviously, the discovery was finally back in Ferron, and the tight string in Varro's heart finally relaxed, and his emotions even broke down a little.

He was not stupid, when Tang Sen's procurement in Seal City became more and more out of control, he had already realized his situation - he became a big fat sheep in the eyes of all living beings in the heavens and all worlds, and from now on, as long as he left Seal City, he would be immediately devoured by countless forces that coveted his wealth.

Damn it! Only Varro knew that his so-called wealth was not even enough to live in the city of Seals for a few days!

He was used as a shield by Townsen!

It is impossible for any normal person not to complain, in Varro's eyes, Tang Sen is obviously completely unrelated to order and kindness, he regrets it incomparably, why did he meet each other in the dark region in the first place, no, he shouldn't have left Waterdeep City, try to write a guide to the dark region!

Seeing that his relief didn't work, Varro still looked so broken that he just wanted to part ways immediately, Tang Sen sighed and said, "Mr. Varro, you calm down and think about it, if I really plan to cheat, there is no need to take you back to Feren again, wouldn't it be more simply to leave you in Seal City?" ”

"I don't know." Varro squirmed his lips and said, "Mr. Tang, I will never understand the purpose of your actions. Leave me alone, now that I've returned to Feren, I can find my way back. ”

"It just so happens that even if I am caught up by those who covet my wealth on the road, it will not affect you rest assured, I will not say anything, this should be regarded as a reward for your life-saving grace."

"Mr. Varro, you misunderstand me too deeply." Tang Sen had a sad expression on his face: "Could it be that in Mr. Varro's heart, my actions are only to maliciously want to harm you into the situation of public criticism?" ”

Varro didn't speak, but his expression was clear.

Think about your own behavior, aren't you?

"Of course not!" "As I said, it's just a fair deal, Mr. Varro buys on my behalf, and I, and I, create a legend for Mr. Varro," said Townsend. ”

"From this day forward, the entire multiverse, whether devils or demons, mortals or gods, will forever remember Mr. Varro's name, isn't that what a writer could only dream of?"

"Not in this way," Varro whispered.

"It's all the same." Tang Sen waved his hand: "The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about those coveting, how can I frame you for no reason." ”

"Don't worry, I've taken care of it all."

"Processing. All right? Varro looked up, confused.

"It's a bit of a cost." Tang Sen sighed: "That artifact, even among all the artifacts I have harvested, is my favorite one—the mask of the God of Deception. ”

"However, it is worth giving up this artifact in order to help Mr. Varro solve these dangers, after all, it is not only about Mr. Varro's safety, but also about my quality." Tang Sen paused for a moment and sighed: "Whether you believe it or not, in fact, I have a very good conscience. ”

"Wait. Mr. Tang, what did you do again? Varro was a little confused, in the later stage of the procurement plan, he was almost completely uninvolved, and he didn't even have contact with the outside world, so he didn't know what Townsend did later, for Varro, he was just pessimistic that he was being targeted by various forces, even if he followed Townsend back to Feren through the portal, he had been thinking about these things in his mind.

I thought that maybe soon, there would be countless people who would catch themselves for those unwarranted riches, and that even Ilminster would not be able to keep himself when the time came.

"Didn't I say that? Solve the trouble on Mr. Varro. Townsend said.

"It's not that easy, is it? I've heard that there are even gods eyeing me," Varro stammered.

"It's not that easy, after all, we have to fool so many people in Seal City, including the eyes and ears of the gods." Tang Sen said: "But as long as you are willing to pay the price, it is not too difficult." ”

It's nothing more than looking for a stand-in that will never be seen, and before the other party is exposed, in full view of everyone, let the stand-in with Varro's identity die.

Of course, there are countless ways for both gods and spellcasters to make the dead speak again, and there is only one place in the entire multiverse that gods can't set foot in, let alone interfere with—the Lady of Pain's cage.

Stand-ins are easy to find, although they can't be used in the Seal City, but the power of money is more powerful than pure force coercion, as long as the number is enough, even if it is to take the initiative to die, there are many people who are willing to do it.

For example, a gambler who has traded souls with the devil and is destined to be tormented after death.

Maybe it's out of guilt, maybe it's because he wants to make the last moment of his life, in short, for him, the consequences of welcoming the Lady of Pain are no more cruel than falling into the hands of the devil, and under this premise, he can not only be in the spotlight, but also be able to leave the last huge amount of money to the people around him who can't spend the last penny, in order to make up for the damage caused by his shameful life, why not?

As for attracting the attention of the Lady of Pain and letting the other person kill herself in full view. It's much simpler than you think.

Calling out Lady Pain's name has the potential to attract Lady Pain, fighting in Seal City has the potential to attract Lady Pain, and praying to Lady Pain faithfully in your heart will attract Lady Pain 100% - this has been confirmed by countless fools and madmen, Lady Pain does not need followers, and anyone who swears to believe in His existence will only be treated more cruelly.

Townsend had preset almost all the ways to guarantee that Lady Pain would appear—perhaps no one would take advantage of something as powerful as Lady Pain in this way, but for Townwass, there was nothing in this world that could not be exploited.

Only the endorsement of the Lady of Pain can convince the witnesses, and there is no way to trace the source.

Of course, there is never a shortage of smart people in this world, and Townsend has no illusions that this can fool everyone, and some people will definitely be skeptical, but this is also what Townsend wants to see.

When the time comes, Lord Varro can reappear in Neverwinter.

"Mr. Varro, you're dead."

"As long as you remember this fact, you won't be in danger anymore," Townsend said. ”

"Huh?" Varro uttered the bewildered words that everyone would have when confronted with this sentence: "I, I'm going to die?" ”

"That's right." Tang Sen said seriously: "The legendary figure who made waves in Seal City and stirred up the sight of the entire multiverse is dead, dead under everyone's gaze, and no one can trace the source, not even a god. ”

If this plan had been carried out somewhere else, it might have been possible to find Town's plan with the help of time, but alas, it was the territory of the Lady of Pain.

"Varro has since become the brightest of the epics of the multiverse." "That is, you, Mr. Varro, from now on, there will be no one more famous than you. ”

"Really?" Varro is a little out of the way, but will it become an epic?

Sounds pretty good? For a writer desperate for fame, this is indeed the fame that Varro hopes to achieve even if he dies.

Is this a blessing in disguise?

But—

Varro opened his mouth and looked at Townese, not knowing what to say, too many emotions were piling up in his mind, making him extremely confused.

Obviously, the other party is obviously using himself as a shield, but why does he seem to have to thank him when he talks about it?

Something feels wrong?

What Varro thinks, Townsend doesn't care much anymore.

It is impossible for this person to escape his control, and as before, Townsend believes that he and Mr. Varro will create many win-win opportunities in the future.

Moreover, at the cost of sacrificing an artifact, Townsend was not just for Varro.

"It should be almost time."

Townsend turned his head to look at the portal.

In an instant, he felt the deceitful divinity in his body begin to grow wildly.

Twice. Fivefold. Ten times.

Townsend had never felt that the increase in power would be so easy, so fast, and the event that was taking place in the Seal City, the "Lord Valor", who was exiled by the Lady of Pain in front of everyone, was frantically increasing Townw's influence in the priesthood of "deception".

It's a lie, but those who believe it include the great merchants of the multiverse, countless legendary professionals, including the surrogate of the gods.

"It worked—"

Tang Sen took a deep breath: "This is the correct way to open the God of Deception." ”

The strongest growth of divinity was finally completed, and Townsend could feel that his deceptive divinity had gone from the initial trace to almost as substance as it had filled his body.

This is almost the result of the efforts of some demigods for countless years that they may not be able to do.

Moreover, the divinity continues to grow, although it has slowed down a lot, but it has not stopped.

Everything that happened in the city of imprints, about the deeds of the richest man in the multiverse, "Lord Valo", is beginning to spread to the entire multiverse through all the witnesses of the city of imprints.

As long as there are still people who know about this and believe the lie, Towne's influence in the "fraudulent" priesthood will become more and more widespread.

"What an unreasonable way to increase the divine power of the gods."

Tang Sen felt some emotion in his heart: "No wonder so many gods are crazy about spreading religion, attracting believers, stirring up trouble in various fields, and then they just need to sit in their own kingdom and wait for the growth of divinity." ”

"But there are good and bad ways to acquire divinity through the priesthood." Townsend habitually reflected: "These powers that come from the priesthood are too susceptible to the influence of the priesthood itself, for example, if my power is strong, then the power of the existing god of deception will naturally become weaker, although the loss of these divinities may not be harmful to him." ”

"However, the gods in the same priesthood are indeed natural enemies, even if they are kind and peaceful gods, in the face of the inexplicable divinity that will pass away if they don't fight back, it is impossible to be indifferent, and they will inevitably end up preventing their opponents from expanding their influence in the priesthood, probably, this is also the root of countless divine wars."

"Only when the priesthood of a realm is completely monopolized, and no other existence can touch it, can it be regarded as truly worry-free."

In Townw's memory, there were not many gods in this world who had the priesthood of deception, and the most powerful of them, known as the god of deception, was probably Ciric.

A chaotic evil deity known as the Dark Sun, possessing powerful divine powers.

I want to continue to improve in this world, and one day I will encounter the sniper of the other party.

"However, if there are too many lice, they will not bite."

Tang Sen just smiled at these future things: "If you want to be my opponent, you have to line up first, after all, there is a vengeful goddess waiting in front of you." ”

"Come one by one. I was invincible. ”

One day, the gods of this world will find that their opponents, at the beginning, are completely above their heads, and they are facing another "Lady of Pain", nay, on a personal level, higher and more desperate than the "Lady of Pain".

Neverwinter, at the moment when it was listed as a territory, was no longer enough to be shaken by the existence of this world.

"It's a pity that we are still a little short of condensing the godhead and becoming a true god."

This step is a leap from mortal to god, and even in the entire history of the multiverse, there are very few people who have crossed this step by relying on their own abilities.

Moreover, the lie about Varro is only an anecdote after all, and it is not a matter of life and death—the merchants will regret the loss of Varro's death, the ill-intentioned will regret the failure of their plans, and the irrelevant will sigh a few words at the wine table, but the impact of this lie on those who hear and believe it is nothing more.

Only the kind of major events that affect life and death, and even the transformation of the world, will affect everything that everyone is closely related to.

"But even that's enough to take the first step."

"Good wine always needs time to age."

"When Lord Varro's name appears in the bard's verses, when the people of the main physical plane begin to tell his story and lament his death, lies become true—"

"I will become a god."

After becoming a god, Townsend now has to find a way to return to Neverwinter.

Obviously, the location of this portal must be in the core of Morsoblay City, and it is heavily guarded by the drow elves, of course, this is not a problem.

Compared to the legendary places like Imprint City or the Astral Plane, Feren is really a small place, and Mosoblay City is famous in Feron, but Tang Sen is very skeptical that even two legendary professionals can be made here.

Tang Sen was not thinking about the danger posed by the drow elves, but how he could completely avoid the attention of the gods.

"If I use the perk, I will indeed be able to return to Neverwinter safely, and there will be absolutely no accidents."

Townsend doesn't lose sight of what he gained in the previous world.

[Disposable feature: invisible clothes.] 】

[You summon a garment that is completely imperceptible, and when you put it on, no being can perceive you by any means, and when you use any supernatural power, or take off the garment, you will never be able to find it. 】

"However, now is not the time to use it."

In Townessen's plan, it should be used for more important things.

"Whether it's Smaug or on your own, you can get to Neverwinter quickly, but it seems a little too ostentatious." Townsend would not underestimate the arrangement that the goddess had made in Faeron, he might be able to change his face and hide his whereabouts, but the gods also have his means.

Perhaps it is not only the believers of the goddess who are looking for themselves in the whole of Faeron, but also the goddess herself who is also perceiving the world with all her might.

"Therefore, you have to keep a low profile as much as possible, so low that even if you encounter a believer in the goddess, you won't be cared about."

"And, get out of the dark as soon as possible."

Townsend rubbed his chin and his eyes fell on Varro's.

"Mr. Varro, the next is probably a difficult journey."

"Huh?" Varro was still immersed in the confusion just now, and did not react.

"For the sake of Mr. Varro's safety, I think Mr. Varro should go to my half-plane and hide first." Tang Sen smiled: "It just so happens that I think Mr. Varro needs a quiet environment to have a good taste of what it feels like to be epic." ”

"Do I need it?" Varro was confused.

"I think it's needed." Townsend cut open the half-plane and stuffed Varo-Ross inside.

Don't worry about Varro going hungry, this half-plane is filled with precious ingredients and wine from the multiverse.

Tang Sen looked at Xue Xue again.

"Do I need to go in too?" Xue Xue took the initiative to speak.

"No, you don't." Townsend shook his head.

"You're a drow elf, at least in Morsoblay City, it's more convenient to have you by your side."

Moreover, the goddess does not seem to know about Xue Xue's existence.

At that time, when He came, it was in Xue Xue's time stop, after all, he did not have a time priesthood, and he naturally had no perception of everything that happened in the stopped time.

"I'm the Drow?" Xue Xue tilted his head.

She had long forgotten about these things.

"You look like a drow elf, although the average drow elf is taller, more gracious, and more open." Tang Sen was a little difficult to describe, and finally just waved his hand and said, "When we leave here, you will be able to see it with your own eyes." ”

"Okay." Xue Xue nodded, revealing a curious expression.

When they were in Seal City, the three of them had met the Drow Elves, but at that time, Tang Sen was busy and didn't have time to talk to Xue Xue about these things, and Xue Xue didn't care about other people's looks or his own looks.

No, maybe she is still curious, but her curiosity has been dispelled by time, and she is still in the stage of slowly finding it back.

"Well, then, it's time to get out of here."

As Townsend closed his eyes, his black hair began to grow rapidly, and faded to a silvery white, and his skin began to turn gray as if the pigment had accumulated.

The ears began to sharpen, and the body was slightly taller, looking thinner and more slender.

When he opened his eyes again, the pupils were light brown.

A drow elf alive.

This is not the power of deceptive divinity, although it is more convenient to use deceptive divinity, but before returning to Neverwinter, Tang Sen still tries his best to avoid the use of divine power.

After all, the gods are too keen to perceive divine powers.

Fortunately, Townsend has no shortage of transformation methods.

"From now on, don't call me Townsend, my name is Tom."

"Tom?" Xue Xue nodded: "The way you look now, it looks strange." ”

"Maybe." Tang Sen looked at Xue Xue's silver-white hair and gray skin, and wanted to complain.

How can anyone say that their race looks strange?

The secret room where the portal was located couldn't stop Tang Sen, and the space of the surgical fruit easily passed through the door, allowing Tang Sen to sense everything in the outside world.

Tang Sen originally thought that there would be a hidden corridor and heavily guarded guards outside, but unexpectedly, it was actually open air.

In a place like the dark region, the open air is naturally just a metaphor, after all, the sky dome here only has rocks and luminous fungi, but this is also surprising enough, such an important teleportation array stands in a small building in the open air, and next to the building, there is even a lake.

Tang Sen's mind moved, and the figures of the two had already appeared next to the lake.

The moss at their feet glowed as they stopped, but the lake in front of them was a mixture of purple and blue—because of the light of the aquatic luminescent plants in the water.

Beautiful.

From afar, the two of them could see most of the city of Morsoblay, and see the buildings that were absolutely beautiful despite their strange styles.

Rather than being arranged on the ground as in a normal city, these buildings are scattered in a patchwork of low-lying areas, towering stone pillars, hanging from the walls of huge caves, and even hollowing out of upside-down stone stalactites.

And in the center of the city, a huge stone pillar could be seen that exuded a magical light, and Townsend squinted his eyes for a moment to confirm that this should not be the core of some dangerous enchantment, but a. Timer.

A magic flame spell acts on the stone pillar, so that the entire people of Mosobrai City can clearly know the time at this moment through the position of those flames on the stone pillar.

"Do you feel anything about this place?"

Tang Sen looked at Xue Xue.

Xue Xue was carefully looking at everything around her, and when she heard Tang Sen's question, she retracted her gaze and shook her head: "I am not impressed at all." ”

"You may have been born, raised, and even studied in this city." Townsend said.

According to Xue Xue's understanding of spells, before she entered the time dragon half-plane, even if she was not a legendary mage, she was also a nine-ring mage, as a drow elf, if she wanted to obtain such high-end knowledge, Mosoblay City was probably the best choice.

Moreover, Xue Xue also has an entanglement with Rose.

"That's too long ago." Xue Xue said: "Time has long washed away these memories to the point that they can never be retrieved, and for me, the initial point of memory is next to that time dragon. ”

"I've been a lich since I was born."

The corners of Tang Sen's mouth twitched slightly.

No wonder Xue Xue is so persistent and clear about the fact that she is a lich, perhaps for her, she is a lich first, and then other races.

"It's okay." Townsend could only say, "Since you don't know much about the city like me, then follow my opportunity." ”

Townsen's gaze roamed the city, eventually stopping at an area.

The architecture there didn't look as fine as the rest of the world, and was obviously much more crowded, and in Townw's experience, it was probably a low-level drow elf and an area where slaves lived.

The number of slaves in the city of Morsoblay was extremely large, even reaching one-third of the city's permanent population.

"Let's go there."

Townsend made a decision.

Xue Xue naturally didn't have any opinions, she just looked in one direction in a daze, and said, "Don Tom, Drow Elf." ”

"Huh?" Townsend also looked over.

I saw a group of people frolicking towards this side.

They are all distinctly drowning elves, with beautiful faces and good bodies peculiar to elves - as for why the body is emphasized, it is because it is too much to see.

Both male and female drows have freed themselves from their shackles and allowed their skin to bathe in the glow of glowing fungi.

"Tom, that's what you just said, maybe it's my race?"

Xue Xue paused: "I think it's a little strange. Why not get dressed? ”

She looked at Townsend seriously: "So-"

"Do I have to do the same?"
