Chapter 454 The temptation to become a god(1/4)
The Jindelank City in France is the easternmost point of the Faerûn continent, located to the north of the Purple Dust Plain (also called the Purple Dust Desert). Next to it is the Bright Star Lake that divides the Faerûn continent and the Karatu continent.
It is the same as Muhun in the north, and Serre ruled by the red-robed mage further to the northwest.
At first, Shenfa was just a part of the slaves who destroyed the Yinmasca magical civilization under the leadership of their gods, and then established a huge theocratic empire - Mulhorand.
Another theocratic empire nearby, Unser, was established in almost the same way.
However, with the continuous turmoil, rebellion, and weakness of the two ancient empires, many marginal areas gradually split off and gained independent status.
However, in name, these small border countries are still vassals of the Mulhorand Empire.
But after the end of the Year of Turbulence, Io, the God of Gods, may have felt that it was a bit outrageous for these gods who came from across the plane to rule the mortals in a way similar to the incarnation of saints.
So I took it upon myself to eliminate the barriers that the artillery masters of the Yimaska Empire had set up when fighting the gods.
This barrier prevents them from connecting with the kingdom of the outer plane, and they can only exist in mortal bodies like saints through reincarnation.
The disappearance of the barrier allowed the gods walking on this land to finally return to their true nature, instead of running around with a fragile body. It also ended the thousands-year period of theocratic rule.

Many scholars believe that this marks that the god Io officially accepted them as a member of the gods of Toril.
You must know that in the previous state, the gods of Mulhorand and Unther were incomplete.
This is why they suffered great losses when fighting the orc gods.
Rui, the sun god of Mulhorand, and many Unther gods fell one after another in the "Battle of Orc Gate".
There are more than eight people clearly recorded.
The orc god Gruumsh became famous because of this, becoming the first known god-killer in the country.
You must know that when Mulhorand and Unser joined forces, they had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers.
There is more than one person with great power.
But even so, they still suffered a horrific massacre.
Gruumsh even went on a killing spree when he was outnumbered, killing one god after another like a beast without even being seriously injured.
Although the alliance formed by the two pantheons finally won the "Battle of Orc Gate", the huge losses directly caused the gods of Unther to collapse and almost die.
The main beliefs of its country have also been continuously eroded by the gods of Mulhorand, Bane, the god of tyranny, Mystra, the second-generation goddess of magic, and Tempus, the god of war.

If you transport it along the Rosen River to the Falling Star Sea, you can immediately earn at least twenty times or even thirty times the profit.
So people here are nervous and busy, and all they can think about is how to use the trade between the two continents to make more money and make themselves and their families richer.
But they didn't realize at all that an extremely dangerous person was hiding in Jindrank City.
Right now, he was in a gray brick house, shouting angrily at his followers: "Are you all idiots and idiots?
After spending so long, you can’t even catch a six or seven-year-old child?
How important is it for me to know what is hidden in his body and soul?
Without that thing, I would not have been able to complete the most critical step in that ritual and be promoted from mortal to god!"
"But...but master, that boy is the son of Baal.
And he also awakened part of his divine power and divinity.
You can teleport to any corner of Faerûn in an instant.
Especially recently, he seems to have hidden somewhere that can block the tracking of prophecy magic, making it impossible for us to find the exact location.
The only thing we know is that the last location we saw was Baldur's Gate on the west coast."
A middle-aged bald mage wearing a red robe carefully explained.
It can be seen that he is a typical Serge red robe, with magic tattoos that sparkle with arcane aura densely carved on his head and neck.
Although not all red robes are willing to shave their heads, just to gain more and more powerful magical power.
For example, Edwin did not shave off his hair and beard, but had thick and lush blond hair.
But generally speaking, red-robed mages are pragmatic and are willing to sacrifice a little beauty for power.
This is why in many people’s minds, bald heads and tattoos are always associated with red-robed mage.
In addition, as neighboring countries that are not far away, Thare and Mulhorand are quite close, so it is not strange for them to appear in the French city of Jindrank.
But it is obviously rare to see a room as densely packed as now.
After all, Mulhorand is not one of those weak countries in the west, but an empire with powerful strength, and the number of priests in the church can be said to be quite large.
The red-robed wizards would not be stupid and leave the west side, which is easier to invade, instead of attacking the west, and instead turn around and risk their lives against their former suzerain country.
Their presence in Mulhorand usually has only one purpose.
That is to obtain more slaves, as well as rare and precious spellcasting materials, or to dig out knowledge about the Yinmasca Empire, scrolls and magic items from ancient ruins.
"I don't care!
Send everyone to Baldur's Gate to search for that boy!
In short, I have to bring him back alive before he discovers the secret hidden in his body!
Remember!
It’s not the corpse that wants to live!
If something unexpected happens, I will turn you all into ghouls and zombies!"
The elderly red-robed mage at the head glared at his two green-gleaming eyes and threatened fiercely.

Anyone who has done a little research on necromancy magic can feel the abundant negative energy in his body that is completely different from the living.
You know without asking that this is a guy who has just transformed himself into a lich.
"As you wish, great Velsharon."
All the red-robed mages and other followers present hurriedly knelt down to the old man who exuded a terrifying aura, and then quickly cast teleportation magic and disappeared.
Obviously, this red-robed lich is none other than the most powerful competitor of Sazastan, the chief of the Ser Necromancer Department, and is also regarded as the most dangerous enemy by Halua, the country of mage——
Velsalun.
He once had a relationship with the wind
The violent queen Xinbu and the great sage Yin Erminster of the Valley of Shadows have fought each other more than once, but they were expelled from Ser due to failed political struggles a few centuries ago.
Since then, Velsharon has been dedicated to exploring the Purple Dust Plains, hoping to find the treasures left behind by the Yinmaskar Empire from the endless deserts and ruins.
Including the endless knowledge, powerful artifacts, and methods of making various strange objects cheaply, I plan to one day kill back, kill Sazastan and replace it.
But the interesting part is that he didn't find much what he wanted from the ruins of the Purple Dust Plain. Instead, he discovered a method of becoming a god left by Talos, the god of storms in ancient times.
As long as you follow the above process, a powerful archmage may become a demigod.
Of course, the prerequisite is to obtain permission from the God of Gods, Io.
Velshalon fell into ecstasy almost instantly, and immediately tried to get in touch with Talos, the god of storms, and agreed to become the other party's follower after becoming a god.
I have to say, this is simply as outrageous as a businessman who originally planned to dig up sand to make a little money, but suddenly got lucky and dug up a large oil field.
In fact, becoming a god in Toril's universe is more dramatic than many people imagine, full of chance and surprise.
Do you think that the process of becoming a god is for mortals to accumulate strength bit by bit, seize divine power and divinity through various methods, and then develop followers until they become quasi-gods or even demigods?
Big mistake!
A truly simple and unpretentious god should be like Mystra. One second she was an ordinary shepherdess, and the next second the god Io descended from the sky and asked if she wanted to sign a contract with her to become a magical girl (2)
The goddess of magic).
When she answered yes, she was instantly promoted from a mortal to the most powerful god in the country after Io, and was also the supreme master of the magic network.
The exact same situation happened to Cyric in the Turbulent Years.
This guy just found the Tablet of Destiny, and then gained all the power of the three gods of death.
Therefore, if you want to become a powerful god in this world, you have never relied on hard work, talent, or cunning and cunning plans, but on maximizing the invisible and intangible attribute of luck.
