"Sos, are you okay?"
Kelben obviously noticed that Zuo Si was in the "Silver Fire Burst" mode, and Elminster usually only uses this mode when encountering danger.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. But what exactly is going on? I don't remember sending a signal for help to anyone."
Zuo Si was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of these chosen ones of the Magic Goddess.
Because he may have had relatively friendly and pleasant exchanges with Kelben and Alustriel, but for other members of the Seven Sisters of the North, such as Storm Silverhand, Dove Hawkhand, Xinbu, etc., he almost never met them.
Never seen it.
But now, these people have actually rushed over, and it seems they are here to help.
"It was my people who found out that Manzon of the Zhentarim and several red-robed chiefs were working together to plot against you, so they prepared to foil their plot. But now it seems that you are handling it well on your own."
As he spoke, Alustriel turned his attention to the body belonging to Manson not far away.
Although he had been somewhat unrecognizable by the lightning energy released by the silver fire, his identity could still be identified based on the remaining mask on his face and the gorget around his neck.
After all, there are not many mages who like to wear masks and gorgets at the same time these days, and Manson is undoubtedly the most famous one among them.
Maybe he cut the throats of many hostile spellcasters behind his back, so he paid great attention to protecting his neck. It is said that he even wore it while sleeping and refused to take it off.
"People from the Harpers Alliance?"
There was a flash of surprise in Zuo Si's eyes, and he instantly realized how powerful the Zhentarim and the Harper Alliance were.
No wonder some people always say that when the Zhentarim gets an important piece of information, the Harpers will immediately get one, and vice versa.
Even the actions that Manson personally planned and participated in were quickly known to Alustriel, the Supreme Mage of Silvermoon City. This shows how superb the Harper's spies are in their disguise and professional skills.
Moreover, Zuo Si seriously suspected that within the two intelligence organizations of the Harpers and the Zhentarim, there should be many profit-seeking double agents, or other unknown forces inside to muddy the waters.
Otherwise, such important information should never be leaked.
Just when Alustriel was about to respond, Storm Queen Xinbu suddenly interrupted: "Okay, you'd better talk about it later when you're done. This is not the time to talk about these things. You have to know how to deal with it.
On Sazastan, there are already five red-robed chiefs here. If we kill them all, Serge will not have the courage or ability to cause trouble for a long time."
When she said these words, Xinbu's eyes began to shine with silver fire, and at the same time, surging magical energy began to gather in her body.
As the most fiery-tempered, craziest, and most awesome member of all the magical electors, the Queen of Aglalon has always had only one attitude towards red-robed wizards, and that is to kill them all without mercy.
Because the red-robed wizard is always planning to invade and annex her country, massacre and enslave the people she rules.
It is said that when he was young, Xinbu was called a "magical barbarian" for a long time.
Unlike other arcane spellcasters who are always careful and careful in their calculations, she has always been a loyal believer in the "doctrine of firepower advantage" and tends to pour countless magic spells on her opponents in a short period of time until they are completely overwhelmed.p>
At the same time, when fighting, she would often fall into madness due to excessive emotions, and she would not even take her own life seriously.
In the end, spurred by this extreme personality and fighting style, the famous "sequencer" magic was invented.
Through these pre-prepared "sequencers", Xinbu can use a certain trigger gesture or syllable to release several spells in one breath in an instant, killing a large number of red-robed wizards in an instant.
Although the Storm Queen has become less violent and angry as she grew older, her hatred for the red-robed wizard has never dissipated.
Especially Sazastan, who has been fighting with each other for hundreds of years, has always been one of the targets she is eager to kill.
"Calm down, Elaslan (Xinbu's real name). Even if you want to take action, you must at least understand Sazastan's intentions first."
Kelben quickly spoke to stop this companion who was sometimes more dangerous than the enemy.
"Hmph! None of these evil red-robed wizards are good people at all. They are always plotting ulterior plots in secret. Especially Sazastan, they have carried out so many small actions against us in recent years and planned several more.
A plan to invade Aglaron?"
As he spoke, Xinbu's eyes began to become more dangerous, and all the red-robed wizards present began to frantically add protective magic to themselves.
Because the latter knows very well that once the Storm Queen starts taking action, she will never stop easily.
By then, whoever has more protective spells on his body will be more likely to survive the stormy spell bombardment.
There is no doubt that this powerful deterrence and awe from the enemy is definitely the result of her tireless slaughter of every red-robed wizard she encountered for decades or even hundreds of years.
In other words, Xinbu is one of the chosen ones of the goddess of magic who is least willing to offend among the many evil forces in Faerûn.
Unlike other voters who are relatively easy to talk to and reasonable, and will not take the initiative easily, she often only does one thing after encountering a red-robed wizard or a member of the Zhentarim, and that is to kill them without any nonsense.
It is precisely because of this attitude of not caring about killing that when the red-robed wizard makes a vow, he will often say that if I break the oath, he will let me go out and meet the Storm Queen.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the red-robed wizards, meeting Xinbu is equal to meeting the God of Death.
Of course, the side effect is that Xinbu's image and folk rumors in many places are not very good.
Some people think that she is moody and a dangerous lunatic;
Some people think that when she is angry, she will turn the unlucky person closest to her into a frog or squirrel, and then trample to death.
However, most of the negative rumors about Xinbu were deliberately fabricated by enemies to tarnish its reputation.
But one thing is true, and that is the madness revealed in Xinbu’s bones.
You must know that before the second-generation magic goddess was killed, there was once a preaching mage who angered Xinbu.
Normally, a preaching mage is also a believer of the goddess of magic, and can even be regarded as a member of the elect.
The first preaching mage was the famous mage god Azuth.
Therefore, unless the other party loses his position as a preaching mage, Xinbu cannot take action against him.
Because this kind of cannibalism has been strictly prohibited by the goddess of magic from the beginning.
But how did Xinbu do it?
Crazy, she immediately began to train an apprentice, and asked the apprentice to challenge the current preaching mage according to the rules after reaching a certain level, and then kill him in a spell duel to replace him.
Yes, she circumvented the rules through indirect means, and then killed the opponent openly.
And this kind of behavior is like a slap in the face of your own goddess, which is an out-and-out act of committing suicide.
The goddess of magic was furious in an instant, and even wanted to take back Xinbu's silver fire and all the elect's abilities as punishment.
But in the end, under the persuasion of other voters, she just said "I won't do it next time" and let it go.
From this incident, it is not difficult to see that Xinbu is actually a lunatic who does not care about the consequences of his actions. As long as his temper rises, it is not impossible to level a city to the ground.
"Are you sure you really want to take action here? The magic network around here has been drained of too much energy in the previous battle. If the fight continues, it will inevitably trigger a terrifying chaotic energy storm. What's more, I'm not here to come.
What’s troublesome is to bring back these guys who bypass the Chief Council and act without permission.”
Seeing that his old rival really wanted to kill him here, Sazastan immediately made his position clear, with the word "coward" written all over his face.
As a typical red-robed chief wizard, he undoubtedly prefers to hide in the dark and engage in intrigues, sneak attacks and assassinations when the enemy is unprepared.
As for the stupid thing like now, directly confronting several Magic Goddess voters, only an idiot would do it.
"So, you are not involved in this conspiracy?" Kelben narrowed his eyes and asked.
Sazastan responded without thinking: "That's right. Because the concessions and strongholds on the west coast of Ferenc have never been under my control, but under the control of Aznar Slur. He is in
Knowing that Soth was releasing plague in the North and causing damage to the orcs, he wanted to obtain this power as a weapon. It happened that Mansong also had a very strong interest in silver fire, so they naturally chose to join forces. Unfortunately, they all underestimated this.
The power and influence possessed by a young man."
Speaking of this, the powerful legendary lich paused deliberately, and then glanced at the dragons, giants, mind flayers, beholders and many other monsters on the island with a slightly playful look.<
/p>
Obviously, with these evil creatures in the eyes of most people in Faerun, he was keenly aware of the difference in thinking and consciousness between Zuo Si and other voters.
Even without using any evil-detection spells, Sazhastan dared to conclude that this young man's camp was definitely not good, but neutral or evil.
"So...are you here to take some red-robed wizards back?" Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked.
"So be it. More importantly, I want to confirm with my own eyes the power you possess. After all, being the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic is not an easy task in Faerun. There are countless people who will try their best to steal or steal from you.
It's to steal the silver fire." Sazastan hinted meaningfully.
"Including you?" Zuo Si asked directly.
Sazastan couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard this: "No, of course not. Because I know better than anyone else the consequences of offending and angering the goddess of magic, so you can rest assured that I am not you.
My enemy, at least not yet. Compared to this, I am very interested in the special magic methods you used before. If you are willing to communicate with me about magic, you can come to Seel to see me at any time."
"Xi Manmeng said similar things to me before, but Mansong did not hesitate to choose to be my enemy when he thought he could succeed. In addition, you think your face is so great that you can do it without any sacrifice."
