442 Cooperation
In the past month or so in the Netherworld City, Penny can be said to have a relatively intuitive understanding of the power of the Netherworld City, there are more than 30,000 adult Netherlands and more than 1,000 Netherlands as the core force, more than 800 human Arcanists, and nearly 300 high-level Netherspirit wizards, more than 3,000 trained elite soldiers, plus a total of less than 200 priests and temple warriors.
This kind of power can be said to be very strong, because there are only two countries in the whole of Faren with a four-digit number of wizards, of course, after the accident of Seren, the total number of official wizards above Faren exceeds a thousand, and it seems that only Yin Soul City remains.
With this huge number of wizards and advanced arcane technology, the Netherworld has won many wars with the surrounding countries of Heartland in the past, and when it is not the target of public criticism, this power and the harsh environment of the Enoch Desert are enough to ensure its own safety.
However, in the face of the wizarding groups cobbled together by forces with many wizards and advanced arcane technology, such as Harua, Yongju Island, and the Silver Moon Alliance, it is difficult for the wizards of the Shadows to have an absolute advantage, and in a war of this scale, their biggest flaws will be exposed.
The total number of residents of this floating city is only 40,000, and even if all the people are soldiers, the number is far less than the number of the Silver Moon Alliance, and the combat effectiveness of the elite troops is even more incomparable.
With the elite troops led by Leila Silverhand, which Penny had personally experienced, Penny had no doubt that this army of less than 1,000 men would be able to kill several times their number of enemies in a melee battle.
With such an army that is both numerical and elite, and supported by a large number of spellcasters, it is only a matter of time before the city of the Shadow is breached.
Penny has a clear understanding of this, and once the war reaches the stage of desperate attrition, the loss of the Shadow City will enter the countdown.
And during the ten days he spent studying at the Floating Island Ritual Grounds, he had a clearer understanding of the destructive effects that this ritual might have.
This ritual originated from the gap between the planes above the Netherworld City, once the battle in the upper realm began, no matter who won or lost Shar and Mystra, the turmoil of the magic net would inevitably feed back to the location of this ritual, which would make the source power of this area chaotic.
Penny knows what this will cause.
The so-called cataclysm, the first to bear the brunt is probably the Ghost City.
And the source of all this, although it is Shahr's plan, Penny knows very well that if Terramante does not agree, this plan will be difficult to carry out.
The Supreme Prince knew that this plan could lead to the destruction of the Netherworld, but still agreed?
Penny was a little incredulous, he knew very well now that with Teramant Tanshur's reputation in the Netherworld, it would not be difficult to stop this plan, although it might cause a split in the forces within the Netherworld, but it was better than the destruction of the Netherworld.
In this way, Teramant Tanshur did it only because he had other plans.
"Your reasons are so convincing that even I can't help admitting them, dear little friend. Teramant Tanshur walked back to his seat—he walked out to meet Penny, it was a pure gold chair, and although it was extravagant, Penny knew it wasn't comfortable to sit on, but it was relieved to think that Teramant was the Ghost Penny—the Ghost's ass couldn't have been sentient anyway.
"Do you think that the city of the Shadow will be destroyed? Teramant Tanshur let out a sly laugh: "But a lot of times, we have to take some risks, right?"
"The key is to take that risk and first determine if what you might get is worth it. Penny frowned slightly: "I beg your pardon, it seems to me that for a ruler, there are few things more precious than his subjects and territories. ”
"But not for a Grand Arcanist, dear little friend, you are also a wizard. Terramante smiled brighter, "You should know what is most important to a wizard. ”
Penny was silent for a while, for wizards, of course, there are many important things, generally speaking, many people who pursue the arcane path are for that powerful power, and some are looking for the deepest knowledge in the multiverse, but these can only be regarded as important for wizards, not the most important.
Probably the most important thing for a wizard is the ability to read autonomous.
Similar accounts can be found in many of the spell books Penny reads, and quite a few wizards believe that reading and thinking for themselves is the first element in learning magic.
Otherwise, where did the methodology come from?
So is this the supreme prince in front of him, who does not hesitate to risk the destruction of his own kingdom, for this thing?
Penny was incredulous that His Majesty Terramant Tanshur, one of the most powerful arcane spellcasters in Abor Torrell and the last Grand Arcanist Lord of Nessreel, still felt unfree, and if he wasn't free, how could he have the arcane achievements he had now?
"Your Majesty, what do you want?" Penny smiled helplessly, and he had to say that he couldn't figure out what Tyramante had to hide for, but he was sure that Terramant's actions must have a purpose.
However, as soon as he asked the question, he saw Terramante's playful gaze, and Penny's face trembled, and he suddenly realized that he was really stupid to ask such a question.
It's like standing in front of a conspirator who is working on a huge conspiracy and asking what the hell you want to do, and the hell knows it's stupid.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I'm curious. Penny blinked.
"Oh, it's good to be curious, but if you don't have curiosity, you're the walking dead. Teramante Tanshur's tone was lighthearted, and he seemed unimpressed.
"Allow me to change the question, then, Your Majesty Teramant, is there anything I need to do when you come to see me?" asked Penny.
"Yes, and the two issues can be combined into one. The Supreme Prince let out a string of pleasant laughter, and the magnificent armor of the whole body was sonorous, but it was not so harsh in the huge empty room: "I want you to serve me from now on, to achieve my purpose, I don't know what you think?"
"What do I think?" Penny had a strange look on his face, "Your Majesty, I still want to know what exactly you want, so that I can make a decision." ”
"You don't have to think about it, what you want, I know what it is, you do things for me, it's going to be closer to that thing. Teramant Tanshur smiled.
Penny stared in amazement at the mysterious gaze of the High Prince.
"I think Sazastan is crazy. The Supreme Prince sneered and suddenly changed the subject:
"But he's a clever madman who knows how to start planning at this time, kid...... You want the remnants of that ancient thing, and I'll give it to you. ”
The corners of Penny's eyes twitched twice: the High Prince seemed unaware of the existence of the Key to Isil Aaron and had misunderstood his purpose.
Then it's better not to tell him.
Having too much terrifying power can easily arouse the ambitions of others and make plans cumbersome.
Although now it is a clump of branches.
Penny quickly calculates that if this part of Pendrim's body is firmly in his hands, then Sazarstan's plan will definitely not succeed, the question is, can he do it?
It is clear that Sazastan could not have allowed him to do this.
And he already had a hunch that when this war of the Kingdom of God was going on at its peak, Sazastan would inevitably appear.
Can Terramante take on the ancient evil of Sazastan, one of the greatest arcane geniuses of millennia.
What's more, Penny knew that if he took this piece of Pendrim's body, then Sazastan would definitely be able to find him through several other fragments.
This was something Penny could affirm - he had only visualized the scrolls on which the ancient Imaska people had recorded the images of the ancient evils, and they had almost attracted an attack from the minds of the ancient evils.
Such a lesson, of course, Penny will not forget.
"Oh, kid, you're still not satisfied? It's okay, I promise you're going to do whatever you want to do...... Uh, the matter of the good code of mortals. Seeing Penny's silence, Teramant thought he was hesitating, and hurriedly said.
A standard of goodness for mortals?
Penny was a little ridiculous for a while, and now he hangs Penn Diesel, his most commonly used name, on the continent of Ferron, I don't know how many people regard him as a despicable, cruel and ruthless conspirator, but one of the most famous masters of the evil forces in Ferron, His Majesty Teramant Tanshur, thinks that he will also take into account the so-called 'goodness of mortals'?
It seems that the bad things he has done before are far from enough to see in the eyes of these beings.
"You are mistaken, Master Teramante. Penny shook his head: "No matter how good or evil the thing itself is, if I am willing to do it, I will definitely go back and do it, but I still have a small problem, and that is...... Is what you need me to do with His Majesty's ongoing plans?"
"Of course it is. ”
"Is it possible to enter the Upper Realm and the Kingdom of God?" Penny asked after a moment's thought.
"The Upper Realm, the Kingdom of God?" Teramante looked surprised, "You want to look up to the Kingdom of God?"
"Of course, I really hope that one day, I can go to the kingdom of God to see the power of God, no matter who you can. Penny said with a serious expression.
Terramante looked away, seeming to agree with Penny's approach: "Well, you have this opportunity. ”
"Then I'll join. Penny nodded without hesitation.
If you can enter the kingdom of Shar through Teramante's plan, then of course there is a chance to steal the key of Isil Aaron.
"Oh, little friend, you made a wise choice. Teramante laughed, "Although the kingdom of God is not a good place. ”
Wise?
Penny glanced at Telamante covertly, but he didn't think he was doing it wisely, he didn't know what Telamant wanted through this plan.
Which direction will this incident go?
The High Prince appeared in front of the wizard with a thick fog, and Penny suddenly felt that the road ahead was even more uncertain.
The wizard's thoughts of asking a direct question had already been exhausted in the question and answer just now, but he still wanted to know something from Teeramante: "Your Majesty Teramant, what should we do now?"
And so on. Teramante cupped his chin and stared at the body of the Mithor Core, which was also the soul of the Netherworld.
"Wait?" the wizard was stunned.
"Of course you have to wait, whether it's ten days or half a month later, this war will soon be revealed, hey, it seems that there are people in the city who can't wait. Terramante glanced at Penny, "It seems that your presence has caused them unease." ”
"I ...... Uneasy?" Penny's eyebrows were furrowed, what kind of forces in the Netherworld would be uneasy after his identity was revealed?
If it was Brenas, anger was certain, but uneasiness was unlikely.
Looking at Penny's puzzled expression, as soon as Terramante waved his hand, a basin-like thing appeared on the ground, and he said a few incantations, and Penny saw the reflection in the basin blurred......
