Chapter 171 A familiar smell(1/4)
As the incarnations of the two gods left, Zuo Si ordered his followers and summoned creatures to sweep the battlefield and collect all the magic items, scrolls and potions dropped by the enemies after their death.
He himself absorbed all the mana left in the air after the death of Talona Church members, and made several divine magic cards on the spot.
For example, [Silence] is most commonly used for spellcasters, [Deep Darkness] can be used in conjunction with the Shadow Army to launch attacks, [Desecration] can fill an area with negative energy to make undead creatures stronger, and [Desecration] can heal internal organs.
The damaged [Cure Serious Injuries], the [Hidden Camp] that makes your camp undetectable for 24 hours...
In short, the most useful magic spells from the first to the third rings, which are not in the arcane spell casting list, are all made into cards with various attributes at the first time.
Because Zuo Si was not sure when the goddess of poison and disease would suddenly take back the priest level and elect power given to him.
Anyway, he now has enough mana to squander.
As for the fields of the priest profession, I chose [Destruction Field] and [Suffering Field] after careful consideration.
Because Talona's priests only have four areas to choose from.
Among them, the "chaos" and "evil" fields have camp restrictions.
Moreover, most divine spells are aimed at lawful and good camps.
Zuo Si is not one of those ambitious tyrants who either plan all day long to rule the world, or are madmen eager to create chaos and killing.
There is no need to fight with paladins, priests and believers of the Church of Good God all day long.
His main targets of killing are monsters and bandits from the evil and chaotic camp.
Especially the endless goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, orcs, jackals, and undead creatures have long been regarded by Zuo Si as a stable source of mana.
"So...you are now the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease?"
After a long silence, Alena was the first to ask.
"That's right! She not only gave me the unique power of the electorate, but also gave me five priest levels." Zuo Si nodded lightly.
"Is there any hidden danger?" Davian's tone was full of worry.
Because in Faerûn, God means faith and conflict
Anyone who has anything to do with them will inevitably encounter various dangers and troubles.
Zuo Si replied in a not very confident tone: "Probably not. Talona has been targeted by Ilmat, the god of suffering, and it should be impossible for him to be reincarnated again in a short time. As for her church and believers,
If you don’t have the sense to dare to trouble me, then kill them all.”
When saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes showed naked and undisguised coldness.
Anyway, the goddess herself doesn’t care about the life and death of those priests and believers, so why should he care.
This can be seen from the fact that Talona ruthlessly abandoned those high-level priests and left alone tonight.
"Well... I don't think there is any need to make the relationship too tense. After all, you are the chosen one, the only spokesperson appointed by God himself in the material world. Maybe you can try to use Lady Plague's church to make a profit."
Rhett gave a different idea.
Zuo Si glanced at this half-orc with some surprise, who usually gave people a rough image, and immediately praised: "Not bad! I don't see that you are surprisingly wise at critical moments. At some point, the identity of the elector should
It can still play a big role."
"Hey! I also learned this from the slave owners in Calimport. Although they don't like the church of paladins and kind gods, they will also use the power of the latter to maintain order and rule."
Rhett scratched his head in embarrassment.
Obviously, he is not stupid, he just doesn't like to use his brain.
Because a truly stupid guy simply cannot survive for too long in the intrigue and deceitful environment of Calimport.
Just when Zuo Si was about to say something, Ailuolin, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally let out a groan, then slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
The first thing she did after she regained consciousness was to get up from the ground and quickly look around. After about a minute or two, she asked loudly: "What happened while I was unconscious?"
"A lot of things happened. The most important of them is the arrival of the two incarnations of gods." Zuo Si gave the answer straightforwardly.
"The incarnation of the God of Suffering has really arrived? Oh my God! Everything I saw in the dream just now is actually true!"
Ellen opened her mouth wide in surprise, then quickly lowered her head to check the simple amulet hanging around her neck.
As expected, on the surface of the amulet, we could see densely crisscrossed scratches, as well as a little residual divine power on it.
No hesitation!
The young paladin immediately knelt on the ground, kissed the "stigma" on the amulet, and prayed devoutly to Ilmat.
After a full three to five minutes, she cautiously tried again: "Have you really become Talona's elector?"
"Well. Although this is not my own wish, you should understand that I cannot resist the will of a god." Zuo Si spread his hands helplessly.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Ellen continued to ask.
"According to the original plan, we will first follow the caravan back to Ascaltra, help Bernard solve the troubles in the Chamber of Commerce, and then set off for Candlekeep. Don't worry, I have no interest in preaching for the goddess of poison and disease.
There is no sense of identity with her ridiculous teachings."
Zuo Si didn't hide anything and expressed his attitude openly.
Talona's teachings are really too troubling, and they belong to the type that will only make people disgusted no matter how you explain them.
Because this guy emphasizes that negative forces such as death and pain are far greater than survival and joy.
It is required that everyone in the world must have greater respect for the first two.
At the same time, it also directly threatens that the power of disease and plague exists in everyone's body.
If you don't pray fervently and offer all your wealth, Talona will take your life through poison and plague.
I wonder which person with a normal mind and a healthy mind would regard such a greedy and selfish God as his lifelong belief?
Anyway, Zuo Si would rather be an unbeliever and build a wall after death, or sign a contract with the devil in hell and be directly reincarnated as a devil after death, than go to Talona's country.
These words immediately made Ailuolin smile with relief: "I feel relieved when I hear you say that. In addition, you ordered to knock me out before, probably because you wanted to protect me and avoid the fight with the man who can summon the Balor Balrog.
A conflict broke out between evil priests, right?"
I have to say that the paladin is a bit inexplicably cute in terms of not holding grudges.
Even if you do something bad to them, as long as your motive is kind, you will be forgiven immediately if you explain it afterwards.
Appreciating Ailuolin's pure eyes without a trace of dirt, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile: "It's best if you can understand this. My personality determines that I don't like to confront powerful enemies head-on, especially when there is not enough chance of winning.
situation. One last question, after this incident is over, you have almost completed your task and mission, right?"
"Yes. The God of Suffering clearly informed me when I prayed just now that I have completed the trial with flying colors, and also gave me a celestial horse mount."
With that said, Elorin immediately used her spell-like ability, and through complex gestures and spells, summoned a large war horse with wings, as white as snow and full of aura of worship.
This creature is so beautiful, with its eyes shining with wisdom. Compared with ordinary horses, they are two completely different creatures.
Ellen gently stroked the new mount's neck and asked with a smile: "How is it? It's great, isn't it?"
"I match you very well. But what I want to say is, now that your mission has been completed, are you going to embark on the journey back to Calimport?"
After going in circles for a long time, Zuo Si finally came up with a solution.
Because after the God of Suffering appeared, this young paladin lady has lost her only meaning of existence in the team.
In addition, it is very inconvenient to bring a paladin, and it will also make you constrained and unable to use the shadow army and necromancy magic unscrupulously.
So Zuo Si couldn't wait to "send him away".
"Ah? I...I never thought about this problem." Ailuolin was stunned.
Upon seeing this, Zuo Si immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I think you should return to Calim Port and report to the temple chief priest what happened along the way. After all, counting the time, it has been almost a month since you left your hometown. Whether it is the church
Your companions and your family must be very worried."
"What you said seems to make sense..."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Ellen's face.
As a young girl in her early twenties, this is the first time she has left her hometown of Calimport and carried out a mission so far away.
Now that the mission is completed, there is really no reason to continue to follow the caravan and continue heading north.
In the end, under Zuo Silian's coaxing, the young paladin quickly made up his mind to ride on the celestial horse, turned around and flew in the direction of Mylatma.
She planned to board a ship at the port of Mylatma and return directly to the turbulent Port of Calim.
As soon as Ai LuoLin left, Rhett breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I'm finally gone. You know, there is this little girl in the team, I have to be careful not to say bad words even when drinking. Otherwise
