Chapter 266: It’s you who are really surrounded(2/4)
No way!
Like most people who suddenly become rich overnight, Eric inevitably fell into the quagmire of desire.
In addition, businessmen who wanted to gain more trade shares kept sending all kinds of beauties to please him, so it was inevitable that he would have an astonishing number of mistresses.
And these so-called twelve are actually just for establishing long-term and stable relationships.
As for those that are just a night of passion, they are not included in the calculation, otherwise it will definitely exceed three digits.
"It's really decadent!"
Hearing these words, Aribes's feelings and evaluation of Eric instantly dropped a lot, and there was even a trace of contempt in her eyes.
As a paladin who symbolizes purity, she has always strictly abided by the doctrines set by Tyr, the god of justice.
Not to mention this chaotic and indulgent private life, even before the official wedding, unmarried couples are not allowed to have any overly intimate behavior.
After all, in the teachings of the God of Justice, overindulgence in the pleasures brought by the body and sensory stimulation often means corruption.

So no matter who you are, if you want to pursue a paladin, you must be mentally prepared for a long-term platonic spiritual love.
During this period, even normal behaviors between ordinary couples, such as holding hands, hugging, and kissing, may be considered rude and offensive.
However, Eric obviously didn't know that he was despised by Aribes. After signing trade treaties with representatives from other towns, he immediately followed Lord Nasir to another empty tent.
"Where are Lord Soth and his fleet at the moment?" Lord Nasir asked straight to the point.
Eric answered without thinking: "At the mouth of this river. According to the original plan, we planned to launch an attack directly from the sea. However, we heard that the Neverwinter coalition forces were here with Luskan's last army.
If there is a confrontation, then send me to work with you to eliminate this threat first."
Lord Nasir nodded thoughtfully: "I see. So, Luskan is currently completely undefended?"
"Of course there are no more armies and soldiers in the ordinary sense, but this does not mean that they have lost all their ability to resist. At least if you want to take down the mage tower controlled by the Arcane Brotherhood, you still need to pay a considerable price."
Eric explained in a sophisticated manner.
In fact, he had no idea how the lichs would attack a magical tower with powerful protective capabilities, let alone Vanessa and Zuo Si's plan.
"That's true. What are your plans next? Continue to move towards Luskan?" Lord Nasir continued to ask.
"That's for sure. Our next phase of the mission is to take over Luskan and liquidate those pirates, criminals, unscrupulous traders and ruffians. But Neverwinter probably won't want to get involved in this matter.
, right?" Eric asked meaningfully.
"Yes, Neverwinter will not be involved in this matter. So we will not get close to Luskan anymore, let alone enter that city full of evil people." Lord Nasir expressed his position clearly.
.
Because if Neverwinter gets involved, a court will be established according to the teachings of the God of Justice, and then more than 780% of the residents of the entire city will be tried in accordance with the procedures.
This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also very easy for those insidious and cunning people to take advantage of.
On the contrary, it was quick and effective to let Zuo Si carry out a large-scale cleaning that cut through the mess with a sharp knife.
Only in this way can Luskan change.
"Then let's say goodbye here. When the matter with Luskan is settled, I will invite you to be my guest, and then we will have a drink together to celebrate the victory."
After saying that, Eric bowed slightly to the other party, then threw all the prisoners to the Neverwinter coalition forces, and took some of the supplies with him and marched towards Luskan in the north.
Although the meeting lasted only a short time, he left a good impression on the leaders of many towns in the North.
At least everyone no longer regards the Nelanthel Islands as a pirate force, but as an object with which they can trade, cooperate and communicate.
At the same time, the huge fleet also completed the last leg of the journey with the help of strong winds, and appeared on the sea level that can be observed by Luskan Lighthouse.
When the guard in charge saw this scene, he immediately rang the bronze bell hanging at the top.
With the low sound echoing over the pier, the city instantly fell into panic.
The merchant ships and pirate ships that had docked around the port were all raising their sails, hoping to escape before they were completely sealed off.
But soon they saw one of the pirate ships being sent directly to the bottom of the sea with a fireball by the lifted mage.
The violent explosion and burning burned more than half of the sailors on the deck alive, while the rest screamed and jumped into the cold water, and eventually froze to death as expected.
You must know that Luskan is very close to the Roof of the World and Icewind Dale on the other side. Even in summer, the water temperature will not exceed ten degrees Celsius.
Although a person will not freeze to death immediately if he falls in, the body temperature will be lost very quickly. If he cannot wait to swim ashore, his hands and feet will be numb and his limbs will be cold and he will sink to the bottom of the sea.
With a vivid negative example, the other ships immediately lowered their sails and anchored, giving up the idea of escape.
With the deterrence of magic, Zuo Si captured all the ships effortlessly.
All ships belonging to Luskan will be confiscated without a word.
Ships from other city-states will be returned to their original owners after investigation and confirmation that they are not selling slaves or narcotics.
For these trivial matters, Zuo Si has always delegated power to his subordinates to take responsibility, and he took the lichs to an independent island located at the mouth of the Mirar River.
Looking at the mage tower that looked like a towering tree, he immediately ordered without looking back: "Let's get started! It's time to make the Arcane Brotherhood history."
"As you wish!"
Vanessa put one hand on her chest and bowed, then started to cast spells together with several other lichs.
After a while, the magic network in the surrounding environment began to tremble violently, followed by a dazzling beam of light that directly hit the closed door.
Boom!!!!!!
After a deafening bang, the door and the surrounding hard stone walls exploded instantly, revealing an entrance to the interior.
Just when Vanessa was about to release the undead army and rush in to step on all the magic mechanisms and traps first, a golden light shot down from the top of the tower.
A core member of the organization was hit on the spot before he could dodge, and his whole body began to disintegrate under the astonishing negative energy.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a pile of lifeless dust.
"Damn it! What kind of spell is this?" Jeffrey's eyes immediately showed strong fear.
He couldn't believe that the Arcane Brotherhood still had such a hidden card.
"Don't panic! There is no need to be afraid! Don't forget, we are all lichs, so what will happen even if we are killed once."
Vanessa quickly blessed herself with a lot of protective spells and gave reassurance to all the core members present.
Instantly!
The lichs who were a little panicked one second quickly regained their composure the next second.
Yes!
So what if the other party kills me?
As long as the life box is kept intact, you can come back even if you die ten thousand times.
As for Zuo Si, he activated two magic cards [Meteorite from the Sky] and [Running Earth] without hesitation.
Just as the lichs were preparing their magic to counterattack, they suddenly saw a red light spot appear in the sky above their heads, and it was crashing down in the direction of the mage tower at an extremely fast speed.
Almost at the same time, the ground began to tremble violently, as if something was about to emerge.
Out of caution, they quickly retreated to the stone bridge behind the island.
Facts have proved that this decision was correct.
Not long after we retreated to the bridge, the small island under the mage tower burst out with red magma, completely submerging the lower area in less than a few seconds.
Many mages and apprentices hiding inside wanted to run to higher places like crazy.
Although the tower has initiated some protective procedures to reduce the damage that may be caused by magma, in the end it was still a drop in the bucket.
However, compared to the magma spewing created by [Running Earth], [meteorites falling from the sky] are the real life-threatening threat.
As the meteorite gets closer and closer to the ground, a huge meteorite with a radius of fifty meters is finally completely exposed to everyone's sight.
Anyone who is not a fool will understand that once this thing really hits it, the mage tower will be destroyed in an instant.
In order to avoid such a result, Akram Grace and the other four tower owners immediately tried their best to release the [Force Wall Technique] and set up a force field protective barrier at the location where it might be hit.
When the meteorite hit the wall of force, a loud noise hundreds of times more violent than before reverberated over the city like thunder.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shock waves and air waves generated by the impact alone leveled all the surrounding buildings to the ground.
The scattered gravel and dust covered the area within hundreds of meters.
After this loud noise, the entire population of Luskan realized that their city and the tower of the Arcane Brotherhood had been attacked like never before.
In the end, the force wall technique successfully blocked the meteorite, but it failed to block the scattered stones.
After the mage tower was continuously hit by several rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms, one of the spires finally collapsed due to severe structural damage.
"Come out! Otherwise I guarantee that the next blow will directly destroy the entire mage tower." Zuo Si threatened unceremoniously.
Because the positive energy spell just now is definitely at the seventh or even eighth level in terms of power. It is simply not something that an organization with no foundation like the Arcane Brotherhood can possess.
He is 100% sure that there must be people from other forces in the mage tower right now.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
