"Do you really want to go to the Abyss to get involved in this kind of thing?"
As soon as the people of the Goddess of Wealth Church left, the diary started to raise strong doubts.
Because in its view, the risk of this journey is too great, no matter what kind of promises and gifts the other party gives, it is not worth it.
Zuo Si smiled and asked: "Why not?
I bet that not only Sarangda Olium and the Woking Church are involved in this matter, but more than one god is likely to be involved behind it.
Don’t forget, Graz’zt imprisoned a goddess for a long time and slapped all the gods in Faerûn in the face.
Therefore, I believe that the rescue of the Goddess of Wealth is most likely a joint action of several good or neutral gods, including the goddess of magic Midnight herself.
The participation of Storm Queen Xinbu as a voter is the best proof.
Just look at it, this rescue team going to the bottomless abyss is basically either a chosen one or a legendary professional, and behind every one of them there is at least one god."
The diary instantly understood something and said in a very shocked tone: "You mean... Grazite's behavior of imprisoning the goddess of wealth angered many gods?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. Look, under the plans of the gods, it won't be long before Lord Wu An pays a very, very heavy price for his capriciousness and failure to abide by the contract.
So although this operation seems dangerous, the success rate will be very high because of the intervention of the gods."
"That's it! That's why you deliberately chose to delay. You just wanted to see the final composition of the entire team and confirm which gods were involved."
The diary instantly understood the owner's thoughts.
Because in the continent of Faerun, almost none of the mortals who can reach such a powerful level can remain unknown.
As long as you do a little research, you will know whose believers or voters the other party is.
Once you understand their identities, you will naturally know which gods are involved.
"If more than three powerful gods join this operation, then I will choose to join. If not, even if it is recommended by Storm Queen Xinbu, I will refuse without hesitation."
Zuo Si expressed his attitude clearly.
Although he is already one of the many voters of the Goddess of Magic, and is willing to help other voters when they are in danger, this does not include situations involving outsiders.
In Zuo Si's view, the goddess of wealth Wojin and her church are out-and-out outsiders. They have no responsibility, let alone the obligation to take huge risks for each other.
Only if he can get generous rewards and ensure his own safety will he consider joining this exciting adventure.
Of course, there is another consideration, which is to take the opportunity to visit the bottomless abyss, the ultimate plane filled with chaos and evil.
In particular, Graz'zt's famous triple realm is said to have collected the most handsome men and beauties in the Abyss and even the multiverse (because Graz'zt is a two-way plug), and has also established a huge harem.
Shendilavil, established with the succubus queen Malcanthet, has become one of the two most worthy places for mortals to visit in the abyss.
However, considering that it would take a while just to find the right candidate for this rescue operation, Zuo Si did not stupidly stay in the mage tower and wait. Instead, he quickly started and went through the interdimensional portal to the UK.
Inside the shelter.
Before the start of school at Hogwarts, there is one very important thing to do, and that is to transfer the scroll that seals the divine evil, Atropal, to the floating city.
But when he entered the "Doomsday Bunker" with heavy magical protection, he found that the shelf where the scrolls were originally placed was empty, not even a hair.
"North!!!!!!"
Zuo Si didn't hesitate and shouted the name of one of the house elves.
Instantly!
The latter hurriedly ran in from the only open space, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply: "Your distinguished master, do you have any instructions?"
"Where are the scrolls I stored here?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.
"Uh... wasn't it taken away by you?"
The house elf named North asked back with his big innocent eyes.
"I took it away? When?"
Zuo Si frowned subconsciously and immediately realized that the situation seemed a bit bad.
North explained carefully: "Just a few seconds after you put the scroll in and left, you came and took it away again. Calvi (another house elf) was also present at that time."
"I then took away the scroll? I only had a few seconds for my front and back legs?" Zuo Si keenly grasped the two key words.
Because it takes some time to open and close the magic protection of the "Doomsday Bunker".
Whenever he needs to enter or exit, the only entrance will open briefly and then close quickly after leaving.
And these few seconds are the time it takes to close again.
As for the other self mentioned by the house elf, most likely it is a disguise using polyjuice potion or some kind of transformation magic.
In other words, there was a person who very accurately captured the short time difference between the opening and closing of the "Doomsday Bunker", and pretended to be himself and stole the scroll that sealed the divine evil.
But who can do this?
If you want to seize this loophole, you must first have a good understanding of the "Doomsday Bunker".
But Zuo Si has never disclosed the details of this shelter to anyone so far, let alone the extremely sensitive information of opening and closing the entrance.
Just when he was puzzled, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, something that had been ignored for a long time but existed like a bug - a time turner.
You must know that the wizards in this world have developed magic that can travel through time - the time reversal spell.
Although due to the great unknown and danger, further in-depth research was later strictly prohibited, and there are only a few time turners strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. However, time travel is completely feasible in theory.
In particular, Professor Crocker of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic has spent his life studying magic related to time.
Moreover, wizard newspapers in the past have reported many stories, such as a certain person who secretly studied time magic for a witch and accidentally trapped himself at home for five days.
By the time he was rescued, his body had aged so much that it seemed like five centuries had passed.
You know without asking that she must have consumed too much of her lifespan during time travel.
So all this seems to be explained.
Obviously, the thief does not come from the present continuous tense, but from a certain point in time in the future.
As for why the other party knew so much about the structure of the "Doomsday Bunker" and could even take advantage of the short opening and closing time of the entrance to steal the scroll that sealed the divine evil, it is most likely that Zuo Si himself revealed some information to someone close to him in the future.
Information.
And the most likely possibility of this person is Hermione, who was trained as an assistant in this world.
If Hermione is captured by others and controlled by the Imperius Curse, then the other party can figure out the situation in the "Doomsday Bunker" and use time magic or a time turner to go back in time and steal her.
"Damn it! I actually forgot that this world uses magic and props that can travel through time and go back to the past." Zuo Si couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
There is no doubt that the loss of the scroll that sealed the divine evil, Atropal, made him very nervous.
Because this is a divine creature, once its powerful magical power is released, it will be absolutely devastating to the entire world.
And this god considers Shar, the goddess of the night, as his mother.
If it escapes and begins to develop followers among humans, then it is very likely to summon Shar to this world and successfully create an incarnation.
"Master...Master, weren't you the one who took away the scroll?" North's eyes showed a hint of fear and despair.
"That's right! A despicable thief stole it." Zuo Si responded with a gloomy face.
The next second...
North started banging his head against the ground like crazy, screaming hysterically: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! It was North who was too stupid to let the thief steal the master's most important thing! Master, please
Punish me severely, cut off my head and hang it on the wall as a decoration!"
"Quiet! I don't mean to blame you." Zuo Si glared at the house elf angrily.
According to the relationship established between planeswalkers and summoned creatures, normally the latter should be able to distinguish thieves disguised through transformation magic.
But the innate servility of house elves makes them ignore this, and once they see their master, they will immediately show unparalleled obedience.
Through this incident, Zuo Si finally understood that house elves might be good servants, but they could never do a job like guarding.
You need to equip your doomsday bunker with more and stronger guards.
There is no doubt that the loss of the scroll made North very self-blame and depressed. His two big eyes kept crying and he wished he could die immediately.
As for another house elf, after learning about this incident, he secretly punished himself by burning his skin with flames while preparing food and refreshments.
It has to be said that the success of the wizards in transforming and enslaving this species has reached a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.
They even regard being enslaved by their masters as an honor, and gaining freedom as a shame.
To be continued...
