Chapter 284: The Church of the Goddess of Wealth’s request for help(2/4)
Take Mona Hill as an example. There is something like an ovary near the abdominal cavity of her snake-shaped lower body, which is densely covered with hundreds of egg-like oval meat balls.
Zuo Si carefully cut out a few of them with an adamantine scalpel for inspection, and found that they were all already formed embryos.
In other words, if left uninterrupted, these embryos will slowly grow and mature, and will eventually be born as eggs and hatch into a new six-armed snake demon.
This is probably why there are so many six-armed snake demons on the 531st floor of the abyss, Wudra.
Maybe many of Mona Hill’s six-armed snake demon subordinates are her own daughters.
"From disordered evolution to natural reproduction? The diversity and complexity of the abyss really opened my eyes. But in what way does the will of the abyss select the so-called lords? Is it pure strength? Or is it based on the will of the abyss?
To reward the contribution of corrupting kindness and order?" Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered to himself.
At this moment, the strong desire for knowledge flashed in his eyes, and even Mona Hill, the six-armed snake demon lord, felt a sense of fear.
Because Mona Hill knows very well that such mortals are extremely special existences even in the entire multiverse.
As long as you don't die halfway, you will eventually grow into a monster that even demons will respect and fear.
Mordenkainen, who is keen on maintaining the so-called balance of all things and often intervenes in various wars, and Iggwilf, who compiled the "Demon Chronicles" and imprisoned and raped Graz'zt, one of the three giants of the abyss, are among them.
The best.
Even the powerful Demon Dukes and Abyss Lords will give the most basic respect to such mortals when they see them, and regard them as people who can be equal to themselves.
After briefly understanding the basic structure of the abyss lord's body, Zuo Si quickly stopped this frenzied vivisection and allowed it to recover as before under the influence of its powerful regeneration ability.
But just because the dissections have stopped, it doesn’t mean that the cruel research is over.
Quite the opposite!
He became extremely interested in the head of this six-armed snake demon, and directly made a metal tool like a spoon to gouge out one of Mona Hill's eyes alive.
The latter's screams in severe pain almost frightened the little devil who was following him.
This evil creature from the Hell of Baator maintained an expression of fanaticism and admiration throughout.
In the eyes of the little devil, the master's coldness, cruelty and evil have far exceeded the limits of his imagination, and even the big devils cannot compare with him.
The most important thing is that I don’t have the slightest feeling of intolerance or guilt. Instead, I think I am doing the right thing.
And it has a strong premonition that if one day Zuo Si accidentally dies and his soul falls into hell, it is very likely that he will be directly resurrected by Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, into the most powerful devil form, and then he will be like the one who appointed Zao Si
Riel is like a first-level lord, giving him powers that make all devils feel envious and jealous.
Zuo Si didn't pay attention to the delusions in the demon pet's mind at all, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to research.
By observing the six-armed snake demon lord's eyeballs, he found the reason why high-level demons can see through invisibility and various secret doors, and that is the special structure located inside the pupil.
When these guys stare at a certain creature or object, the first thing that appears in their eyes is not a specific image or light, but a strange pattern composed of pure magical energy.
From these patterns, high-level demons can easily distinguish which ones are false phantoms created out of thin air, and which ones are real things.
If he were not afraid of the erosion of the power of the abyss, Zuo Sidu would like to transplant this eye to other creatures to try the effect.
But unfortunately, if you want to do this, you must at least invent a special legendary magic. The cost is too high and the gain is not worth the loss.
Finally, he stuffed the eye back into the bloody eye socket.
In about a few minutes, Mona Hill's regeneration ability repaired the optic nerve, and the eyeballs began to move again.
"Now, let's talk about the Abyss."
Zuo Si put down his scalpel and holy sword, and summoned a ball of water to wash away the mucus accidentally stained on the black dragon leather gloves, as well as a large amount of acidic and corrosive blood.
You must know that dissecting creatures from the lower planes, especially demons whose blood contains poison, is definitely not something that just anyone can do.
Even a high-level mage may be seriously injured or even killed by liquid suddenly splashing out of the body or an exploding organ when dissecting a demon.
This is also why the "Demon Chronicles" compiled by "Witch Queen" Igwilf is notorious, but it is still respected by all mages.
For the first time, this book systematically displays for everyone the shapes, characteristics, spell-like abilities and plane anatomy of more than 240 different demons, as well as more than 10,000 species of animals and plants living in the abyss.
Seventy-six levels of natural ecological environment.
As long as you read this book carefully, you can have a very detailed understanding of its general situation even if you have never been to the abyss or come into contact with demons.
On modern earth, one must be at least a biologist of Darwin's level.
"You want to get the secret of the abyss from me? Stop dreaming!" Mona Hill sneered and refused.
Because for demons, almost every evolution can more or less glimpse into the nature of the abyss.
And these secrets will evolve into various spell-like abilities and powerful external forms during the evolutionary process.
Especially when promoted from high-level demons to secondary lords or even real lords, the essence of the abyss they see and understand will be directly transformed into some kind of chaotic and corrupt power that is comparable to the gods.
Therefore, no demon lord will reveal these secrets that are directly related to his own power.
In the ongoing wars within the abyss, those lords who defeated their opponents and captured them often imprisoned their enemies and tortured them for hundreds or even thousands of years to force them to reveal these secrets.<
/p>
In particular, the Obiris Demon, which was born and ruled the Abyss before the Tanar'ri Demon appeared, received a lot of "care".
It is said that many famous and powerful lords have more than one defeated ancient Obiris demon imprisoned in their dungeons.
As a planeswalker with rich knowledge of planes and demons, Zuo Si certainly knew the importance of the secret of the abyss to the demon lord, so he opened it directly with the vicious magic spell [Crushing Bones] from another world without even a word of nonsense.
Enter torture mode.
After all, even a demon has a limit to its ability to endure pain.
As long as you continue to subject them to physical torture and mental and willpower destruction, sooner or later you will inadvertently say something that you would not say in a sober state.
Of course, it was obvious that Zuo Si alone could not sustain high-intensity torture on Mona Hill 24 hours a day, so after an hour or two, he handed over the job to the consciousness of Mage Tower.
Process.
As for himself, he returned to the upper level of the mage tower and began to analyze and organize the various information and materials collected so far.
In particular, Sarevok, who was officially operating around Baldur's Gate as a mercenary and adventurer, instantly attracted Zuo Si's attention.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this may be because the leader of the Iron Throne Chamber of Commerce is training his adopted son to take charge of his own business.
Moreover, Sarevok's team is not large in size. At best, it can only be regarded as a subordinate armed force funded and controlled by the Iron Throne.

But Zuo Si knew very well that this meant that the son of Baal had begun to cultivate his own power while preparing for the upcoming conspiracies, wars and killings.
In addition, Gillian and his adopted son Aberdare also returned to Candlekeep to settle down and return to a peaceful life without fighting against the world.
But the old mage didn't know that due to the divinity and priesthood of Baal, the God of Murder, no matter how he tried to escape, there was no way to stop his descendants from killing each other.
What's more, there is a mastermind behind the scenes who is secretly promoting all of this.
Of course, in addition to the two protagonists of Baldur's Gate and Candlekeep, there are more Sons of Baal who are awakening in the Kingdom of Tethyr that is in chaos and turmoil in the south.
Some of them have begun to try to strengthen their divinity and power through killing, and a small number have begun to form forces to hunt down their brothers and sisters in order to collect more of the "legacy" left by their father.
Eventually, these inheritances will be concentrated in the hands of a few people as the number of Baal's sons continues to decrease.
As for them, they will enter the finals to compete for the vacant throne.
"The prophecy of Arando the Wise is about to come true. But this time, it will be me who will win the final victory." A frightening red light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
Due to the planeswalker's unparalleled advantage in controlling energy, he can clearly feel that the converted Baal power in his body is boiling, as if calling for something.
And this strong call is exactly the desire for blood, killing and death.
As the number of awakened Sons of Baal increases, the killings among each other become more and more frequent, which will eventually affect or even completely change a person's original character.
This is also the tragedy of becoming a son of God.
Although in the eyes of many mortals, being able to become the son of God is an honor, and at the same time, you can gain powerful power that many ordinary people dream of.
But who knows, the so-called son of God will never be able to escape the influence of his divine parents throughout his life.
With better luck, you may be able to become a demigod or a weak god with the help of the latter.
If you are unlucky, you will directly become a sacrifice for the resurrection of the gods.
After throwing all the collected information into the brazier and burning it, Zuo Si finally found time to study the backup copies of the magic scrolls taken out from the central tower of the floating city.
Although he had collected a lot before, because he was only an apprentice, he had no way of accessing high-level magic.
Especially those top-notch spells invented and created by archmages that are as powerful as legendary magic.
But now, as the Floating City of Plantia has become its private property, these magical knowledge, which are regarded as top secrets, have also completely opened the door.
The first thing Zuo Si studied was not the [Star Meteor] that could destroy a city or even an entire country in one blow, but the [Air Hammer] that he had always been most interested in.
Because according to the classification of Faerûn, invisible and powerful spells like this will undoubtedly be classified into the category of force field magic such as force wall and big hand.
As we all know, force field magic is often the most difficult type to deal with, whether it is attack or defense.
Because they are neither like energy attacks, which can be easily absorbed and deflected by various targeted protective magics, nor are they like physical attacks, which can be blocked by armor, shields and other armors.
A force field is a special form shaped by magical energy. If you have to use something closer to describe it, it is a "shock wave".
However, unlike the shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives, the force field does not propagate diffusely in the air or other media, but will form a stable structure.
But what Zuo Si is obviously not interested in is the noble force field damage of [Air Hammer], but rather its ability to manipulate a series of parameters of air including pressure, pressure, etc. to a certain extent, and then use this as a basis to develop his own
