The ancient sun god Amaunator quickly lost faith after the collapse of Netheril and eventually became a member of the army of corpses in the astral realm.

It’s just that at that time, God’s own power was not directly connected to believers and influence.

Therefore, the great arcanist's attitude towards civilians determines that most gods, except the goddess of magic, will not like them.

But Karsus, a fool, chose the only powerful first-generation magic goddess who was protecting Netheril.

The results speak for themselves.

Although several floating cities survived later, they quickly declined because the Deep Demonic Network was completely closed to mortals, and eventually became part of Faerun's tens of thousands of years of history.

In this respect, it is similar to the demise of the Imasca Empire.

The reasons for the demise of the two ancient magical civilizations can be classified as their own muffled deaths.

Ovo obviously didn't know how low Zuo Si thought of Netheril, whom he was deeply attached to, and continued to himself: "Of course it does matter. If I guess correctly, you and Shaen VII have reached an agreement.

, are planning to completely integrate Wan Ting and even the large area of ​​land south of Dragonspear Castle to Kalingshan to build a huge west coast empire, right?"

"Well! This is no longer a secret in the eyes of many people.

But there is one thing that needs to be corrected, that is, my target is not just half of the west coast of Faerûn.

It also includes areas such as Waterdeep City, Neverwinter City, and the Silver Moon Alliance in the north, covering more than one-fifth of the continent.

And what I want is not just nominal rule, but political, economic, cultural and ideological integration and unification.

I want the world to see what a real country is.

This is not directed at anyone!

What I want to say is that from the moment civilization was established in the world of Toril to the present, whether it is the creator race, giants and dragons, or elves, Netheril, Imaskar, and the Shaan Empire, they

The countries we established are all unqualified garbage in my eyes."

When saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes shone with overwhelming pride and confidence.

Bang bang bang bang——

"Awesome! Such an attitude and momentum!"

Instead of getting angry when someone said his motherland was rubbish, Owo clapped his hands and applauded loudly.

Because he recognized Netheril's achievements and brilliance in magic, rather than the loose and independent political structure.

Especially in the final period of destruction, the internal chaos and confrontation can be said to have completely disappointed this fat house lich.

But soon, Owo suddenly changed the subject and tried with a smile: "If I guess correctly, after the empire is established, you should vigorously promote magic education and cultivate more arcane spellcasters, right?

?"

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes! Since magic is the most powerful force that exists objectively in this world and can be used by mortals, it is crucial to study it in depth.

My plan is to establish a magic academy in every large city, so that all talented people can complete the most basic theoretical education as much as possible.

In addition, magic-related creations and inventions will be encouraged, making arcane spellcasters a vital force in the country.

In short, we must establish a powerful magical civilization that far exceeds Imaskar and Netheril.

Under my rule, this country will be taken to unprecedented heights."

"A very grand blueprint!

I have to admit, your ambition and vision are enough to make any arcane spellcaster feel excited.

If you don't mind, could you let me participate?

You know, I have a lot of ancient knowledge left over from the days of Netheril, and I'm willing to share it.

Don't worry, I won't pose a threat to your rule.

I just hope that some of the excellent culture and traditions of the Netherese era can be reproduced."

Owo expressed the true purpose of his trip in a very genuine tone.

Obviously, as one of the few great arcanists whose mission is to restore the glory of Netheril, what he desires has never been power, let alone the establishment of a country called "Netheril".

Instead, let the culture and heritage of Netheril be reborn on the continent of Faerûn.

As long as he can achieve this goal, he is willing to make any sacrifices, pay any price, and cooperate with anyone worthy of cooperation, even his former enemies.

In fact, Ovo's relationship with the Goddess of Magic, her church, and her chosen people is not good.

They even deliberately induced some talented mages to study ways to get rid of the restrictions of the magic network, as revenge for the second-generation magic goddess to seal the deep magic network.

At the beginning, he was actually full of contempt and disdain for Zuo Si, the chosen god, and thought that he was no different from Elminster and others, they were all the same.

But as time went by, Fat Mansion Lich gradually discovered that Zuo Si was completely different from other voters. He did not obtain his electorate status because of his faith or service to God.

Quite the opposite!

He gained the recognition of the gods through his own thoughts and ideas. The relationship between him and the gods is not that of a superior or a subordinate at all, but that they engage in many cooperations with the same status.

The recent summoning of the Eldrazi Titans in the Abyss directly changed the direction of the bloody battle, and the removal of the powerful god Cyric, who was personally promoted by the god Io, all proved that he has no respect for gods at all.

This attitude with a bit of contempt for the gods made Ovo feel that Zuo Si was simply the perfect successor to the "spiritual core of Netheril".

That’s why I left my lair in the Supreme Forest and traveled all the way south to meet him.

Looking at the expectation revealed in the other person's eyes, Zuo Si touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then quickly responded: "Okay.

I have always welcomed this kind of cooperation.

However, there is one thing that needs special attention.

That is, don't instill in those young people the idea that God is just a more powerful arcanist.

Because it is wrong, and it is so wrong.

God is God, a projection of spirit and belief in the outer plane, and it is also an ultimate philosophical concept.

I believe that the disaster caused by Karsus is enough to prove a lot of things.

Moreover, God exists objectively, just like the magic net.

Denying them will not make arcane spellcasters more powerful, it will only make them arrogant and paranoid.

What's more, I am a chosen one by the Goddess of Magic, and I don't want any future mages taught by the academy to conflict with the church."

Upon hearing this, Owo immediately frowned subconsciously, pondered for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "What about the research on bypassing the restrictions of the Magic Network?"

"In this regard, my attitude is that it doesn't matter.

I believe that today’s magic goddess also has an indifferent idea.

She is not the second-generation magic goddess, nor has she witnessed the terrible disaster with her own eyes. She is not as determined as the second-generation magic goddess to close the deep magic network.

Moreover, it is the innate nature of the goddess of magic to protect and encourage research in magic.

No matter what her original attitude is, she will gradually change her views under the influence of the priesthood.

In addition, as a planeswalker, I have too many ways to bypass the restrictions of the magic network and cast powerful spells that far exceed the ninth level.

Legendary mages can also use legendary spells to release some spells of the past tenth and eleventh levels.

Therefore, the meaning of closing the deep magic network no longer exists."

Zuo Si clearly expressed his position.

To be honest, he quite disdains some of the practices of the second-generation magic goddess Mystra.

Whether it is the deep magic network that has been closed to mortals across the board, or the romantic style of acting, or the large number of voters and lovers that he created when he was idle, and the notorious one who created a lot of weird things.

Preaching Mage Rules.

In contrast, although the current third-generation magic goddess Midnight made some jokes after becoming a god.

But as my understanding of the priesthood becomes deeper and deeper, I have begun to be able to fulfill my responsibilities.

The only problem is that the residual kindness in her mortal nature often makes her feel entangled in some magical research that tends to be evil.

After all, the controller of the Magic Network must be neutral and cannot be mixed with any personal emotions or preferences. This is exactly the same as the God of Death.

So now Midnight and Kelanvor are forcing themselves to remain neutral.

"Can you bypass the magic net?"

Owo's fat and bloated body suddenly stood up from the sofa, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Of course! I am a node connecting different worlds, and I can fill my surroundings with spell-casting environments from other worlds. Moreover, planeswalkers can directly manipulate energy to form spells."

While speaking, Zuo Si raised his hand and cast a very simple spell, activating the stone snake-man statue that was originally placed next to him, and making it twist its body and start cleaning the garbage on the table and the floor.

There is no doubt that this spell did not pass through the magic network, or even draw energy from the surrounding environment.

Ovo was keenly aware of this, and immediately cast corresponding spells to sense changes in the surrounding environment. He soon noticed that the air was densely packed with several kinds of primitive energy that he had never come into contact with before.

Some of them are very violent and difficult to control, while others are very gentle and easy to be shaped into various spells.

After several minutes, he raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone: "As long as you are within a certain range around you, can you use these magical powers from other worlds?"

Zuo Si replied crisply: "That's right.

Some coverage areas are relatively large, and can even affect a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.
