Chapter 341: The Seven Heroes of Burning Steel, the Spy Eye, and the Imminent War
For Samaste, Levi was particularly impressed.
Even though the Church of Magic has repeatedly banned it, this story of the betrayal of the Goddess of Magic chosen out of love is still widely circulated among the people.
However, for Levi, the most direct impact is the dragon worship church founded by this big man, and the transformation method of the dragon lich in the hands of the church.
In particular, what makes the dragons quite a headache is that these dragon-worshippers are like the pyramid schemers of the Blue Star, they will approach the dragons they know in various ways, on the pretext of providing various free services, and after getting acquainted with each other, they will be full of demagogy:
"Do you know about the Worship of the Dragons?
"Do you want to be a being beyond death?
"Want to gain the power of eternal immortality?
"Then try the Dragon Lich Transformation Ritual!
"Never worry about dying of old age again!"
Of course, this is just a fucking picture of Levi's brain.
But it is undeniable that there are indeed many dragons, especially the five-colored dragons and the white dragon cultists, who have always maintained this kind of relationship, and then secretly deceived and persecuted those young metal dragons together.
But fortunately, Samast died early, otherwise the picture would have been another painting style:
This legendary boss with the Goddess of Magic's Electorate Power Bonus parachuted directly in front of the dragon, and directly forcibly captured you and threw you into a small black house, whether you want to or not, directly turn you into a dragon lich before talking about treatment.
So when Levi heard from Fei She's mouth that this big guy might be resurrected again, he instinctively felt a sense of fear.
In case this guy hears of his Levi's name, sneaks into his lair, and then directly helps him 'die' while he sleeps...
When he woke up, he found himself a 'skeleton dragon'... That's a real joke!
He hasn't even reached adulthood yet, and he hasn't yet experienced the most beautiful and brilliant glory days as a dragon, if he gets rid of this, then it will be really wronged, and I'm afraid that he will want to die by then.
No...
In Corell, death is often just another beginning of life.
If he, an unbeliever, hangs up, his soul will wander to hell or the abyss, and those lower planes, right?
At that time, the memories in the soul will definitely fall even more... Maybe you'll have to go crazy to survive in the cracks between a group of lords and bosses... That's terrible!
Luckily, none of this happened.
From this point of view, Li Weizhen felt that he should be grateful to these harpists, otherwise it was only a matter of time before he was named by this general manager.
It's just that what makes Levi a little puzzled is that with Samaste's toughness, the movement caused this time is compared to the last time... It feels like a little 'little fight'!
This guy became a legend hundreds of years ago, although in the year of the Explosion, he was bewitched by the Bane Priest Agathon NaserΓ© to attempt to kill the 'second spring' Erasdra in his life, and was then reclaimed by the mage god Azus.
But the silver fire was given by the goddess of magic Mystra herself, and if it wasn't for her old man's own hands, how could it be so easy to recover.
The power of the root of the magic silver fire had long been entangled with Samast's soul, otherwise he would have died at the hands of Leila and Kelburn, who had been called by Erasdra and were also voters, and he would not have had the strength to survive until Bane resurrected him as a lich.
And this was also confirmed in the Battle of Haipu for more than fifty years.
According to later rumors, Samast was about to visit the two powerful Elder Green Dragons to prepare for the Dragon-Worshipping doctrine of Amway and the benefits of becoming a dragon lich when he and his retinue were ambushed by the harpist and his allies as they passed through the forest near a small village known as Haup.
But what is puzzling is that in that battle, Samast's number one dragon, Shagrela, and several of the most powerful dragon lichs were not by his side.
More importantly, how did the harpist know his whereabouts? Why did he even know the purpose of his visit to the two ancient dragons?
Although the harpist is a good trick at infiltrating, this is obviously top-secret information that only the most confidant can know.
Therefore, Levi asserted that Samaste's whereabouts at that time were betrayed by 'his own people', and that the betrayer of him was his most trusted good friend, the Bane Pastor Elson, whose true identity was revealed by later generations.
It is easy to analyze from this assertion.
Climbing up to control the power of every organization is the lifelong obsession of every Bann congregation.
At that time, Samast was already on the verge of madness, and in order to take revenge on the goddess of magic and the elect, he had done almost everything to make enemies to the outside world.
This was clearly not in the interest of the Bane pastor.
Although their doctrine is to cause disputes in the world, but everything has been done by you, what is the matter with me? Wouldn't my god directly change to an 'agent', wouldn't I just finish the game? And if I continue to let Mr. Sa continue to fight like this, the Bacheng of the Bailong Sect will be directly removed from the Northland, so there is this drama that was made out by the 'director'.
In this way, the strength of their rival harpist can be greatly eliminated, and secondly, it can also ensure that Samast's power against him will not be shaken too much after his death, and he can even take advantage of the internal strife of the Dragon Worship Sect to take the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
It was just perfect!
In Levi's opinion, since Samast can be killed once by the elect, and still resurrected as a lich after the attack of the mage god Azus, then it seems that it is not a very fantastical thing to be resurrected again after being knocked to death by the god of dawn, Loshanda.
As long as the soul box is immortal, every time you 'kill' it, it will only make his twisted soul stronger.
So Levi felt quite unreal when he heard that Samast died so easily:
"Has any god personally intervened?"
Levi's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked a little gossipy: "Could it be that the goddess of magic took action herself?"
Fischer scratched her bald head: "No... He was beaten to death by a group of metal dragons gathered by the Silvermoon Dragon Mother and his wife, and oh, the harpist also went to the twelve paladins, and my unfilial daughter, and his brother Kevin, Ralph, Anthony, Cecilia, Locarrie, and a man who seemed to be called Angus, snuck over together, and now he is also known as the Seven Masters of Burning Steel in the Northlands..."
Speaking of this, Fei Sher felt a little uncomfortable.
Even Anna and her friends are famous, and he is still just a small battle method leader and think tank director in Zelandia.
"It's... They're fine, are they?"
Levi heard the first half and suddenly said: yes, Samastre is resurrected, and the first ones who won't let them go are Vera and Silverwing, who have the revenge of killing their son.
Just when I heard it, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, what kind of character is Somast?
Well, that's not right, so calculated, they were also in their twenties and thirties at that time, and now... Is Durima in her fifties?
I've slept long enough...
Thinking of this, Levi felt a little depressed, and he seemed to have missed a lot of interesting things.
Fischer was a little surprised: "They're fine, Calvin is watching, but nine of the harpist's paladins died..."
"Okay..."
Levi was relieved when he heard Calvin's name, forty-six years had passed, and he estimated that the number one manager under his command had been promoted to a legend... I don't know if I have found a way to suppress the assimilation of the nezumi faith?
But... Only nine paladins died, and it was solved without even a god coming forward.
I'm afraid this Samaste is a fake, right?
But it has nothing to do with him, even if it's true, this time 'dead', he should be able to live in peace for dozens or hundreds of years.
With or without Samast's Worship of the Dragons, for Levi were two completely different organizations.
After seeing that his boss had lost interest in the Worship Dragon Sect, Fei She continued to report:
The third incident also happened in the same year, Kelburn seems to have sensed the resurgence of the Shadow Thieves Guild in Drawing Water City, and infiltrated the Shadow Thieves Guild through the hand of the masked lady Rosten and obtained the contact list of members, and after a week of slaughter, the Shadow Thieves members either died or fled.
"The following month, we received a report from Kirk the Eye Demon that the remnants of the Shadow Thieves seemed to be preparing to rebuild the guild headquarters in our White City.
After some deployment, Captain Herbert personally led the army to surround and destroy their stronghold, but unfortunately, they seemed to have received the news in advance, set up a portal inside the guild, and some of the high-level leaders escaped by them. β
Levi couldn't help but ask, "Where does the other end of the portal lead?"
For the Shadow Thieves Guild, Levi still has a bad impression.
These guys are almost vampire leeches attached to the city-state, in addition to not doing good things, they do almost all evil, and more importantly, their infiltration and ability to corrupt the city-state's management.
If he was a member of the Shadow Thief, he would definitely send a bewitching poppy-like woman to approach this guy Fisher, and he would definitely be a hit.
And Ephisher, the virtue of not keeping the door on his lips...
The red-robed Faman was directly sweating on his forehead when he saw it from Li Wei's eyes, and hurriedly said loyally:
"Boss, I swear to you, the news of the net closure is definitely not leaked by me, I usually know Zhuo Er well, and I will never touch unknown human women!"
The silver dragon soaring in the air couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the milky white diaphragm also blinked, and he didn't have a good airway:
"Who cares about your private life anymore? β
Fischer couldn't help but bow her head and explained honestly:
"Uh... By the time Herbert and the others arrived, the portal had already been destroyed, but based on Director Iggy's analysis of the wreckage, they must have fled to... Am, yes, Am. β
"Am... Is this a turtle retracting directly into its nest? β
Levi nodded his head and thought for a moment, "In this matter, is doing well, what position is he now?"
Hearing this, Fei She didn't know that this colleague was going to be added to the knighthood... Envy and schadenfreude couldn't help but gloat and replied:
"Kik... Kikhe is still in the 404th squad, third class private. β
"What the hell..."
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but burst into foul language again, where did he not know the strange thing in this eye demon, Bacheng'er was a fish that he had touched for decades while he was sleeping.
Nima, who has been a soldier for forty-six and a half years in Zelandia, a city-state that is in the midst of a rapidly rising demographic dividend, is still fighting in the third-class private army at the bottom...
What a person... No, what a talent!
If it reaches the ears of their Eye Demon fellows who will do everything to seek superiority, Bacheng'er will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and will always be used as a negative teaching material for the dark region.
"This guy... How?" Levi couldn't help but wonder.
"In fact, their 404 squad had already obtained the collective first-class merit in the operation to rescue the half-elf Ellene in the Endless Wilderness, and they were directly promoted to non-commissioned officers by two levels in a row the following year, and Herbert, Ralph, Hogarth, and Hammer, who were on the same team as him, were promoted in this way, but Kik's eye demon..."
Fisher's face became a little strange as he spoke: "Not long after you fell asleep, he cast a summoning circle in the public toilet in the seventh city, according to what he said at the time, he wanted to recruit a fellow clan to come over and do an errand for him, and if the other party didn't agree, feed it... As a result, someone was found in the middle of the spell and panicked, and the teleportation went out of control and blew up the public toilet..."
"Iβ" Levi's gaze became a little frozen...
Recruit a fellow Eye Demon to come and serve as a soldier for him?
He could imagine how devastating and desperate the expressions of the surrounding residents would be when the public toilet exploded.
What the hell is this!
"Because of this vicious public incident, he was reported by at least thousands of people with their real names, and for the sake of Zeellandia's reputation, we were directly sent back to the third class, if it weren't for his original credit in the Endless Wilderness, we would have planned to expel him from the army. β
Fischer spread his hands: "In the next forty years, he occasionally bumped into some events and made some contributions, but he generally couldn't stay too long, so he was picked up for various reasons..."
Hearing this, Levi was a little angry, "Okay, I don't want to do it, do you, Fisher." β
"In. Fischer hung her head and pricked up her ears.
"I intend to set up our own spy network, relying on group slimes is still too passive, and the Cavins rats can only affect the lower levels, I think the structure of the Shadow Thieves Guild is pretty good, everyone prepares at least two identities, matryoshka dolls, we can do it too, but I have always felt that ordinary people are not good at espionage, but Kirk gave me a good idea. β
Levi said, "In this way, you let Kik go to Calvin to report to Calvin in Drawing Water City, summon me more Eye Demons, and then send them to Calvin to wash... Well, accept humanistic care, infuse advanced systems thinking values, train a group of excellent spy eyewitnesses, and strive to make our spy network cover at least the major city-states and organizations in the Northland in the next few decades. β
"Follow your will, and I'll do it later. Fischer replied.
I heard Levi's cold voice continue to sound: "You just tell that guy directly, if it doesn't work well this time, I will stuff him back into the dark region, and let Dishana spread the news that he forced his fellow clan to eat among the Eye Demon Clan, hehe, hehehe." β
"Your will... I'll definitely bring it to him. β
Fei She couldn't help but shrink her neck when she heard this, and secretly swore that she must control her mouth in the future, and she must not offend the boss...
He had the impression that the Eye Demon was a bunch of extremely conceited and arrogant creatures, and if this did spread among his people, he would probably become the public enemy of Corell's All-Eyes Demon...
He swallowed and continued to report:
"The last thing is about Luskan.
"Luskan's gang of pirates seems to have had a coup d'Γ©tat, and now the tower of the Arcane Brotherhood has directly replaced Luskan's original lord's council and stood directly in front of the stage, and they have recently been extremely active in Sword Bay and even near Lunaris Island, and have repeatedly made provocative and tentative moves on Luskan Island, according to the analysis and speculation of Director Eagle and the Mage Corps, we have enough reason to suspect and guard against it, Luscan's Arcane Brotherhood, this year and next year, there is a high probability that it will target Luskan Island...
"Start a war of aggression!"
Levi's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this, and then sneered:
"Is this an attempt to directly monopolize the seaborne trade of the entire Jianwan coast?
"This ambition... It's not small!"
