Amxalan, a desolate town located southeast of Saladux.
It is located at the junction of Mir Forest and Spider Swamp. At a glance, all you can see is the red and weathered bare Gobi Desert, as well as those low and small mud houses randomly located on the hillside.
When the wind blows, the dust mixed with gravel can directly block the sky and the sun, causing people to not be able to see farther places.
Since the land and climate are completely unsuitable for farming, there is basically no agriculture here and there is no way to graze.
Local residents can only make ends meet by relying on a small number of workshops and services such as providing accommodation for passing caravans.
Moreover, extreme drought has also led to scarcity of water resources.
The whole town basically relies on a deep well located in a huge cave to obtain daily water.
Normally, such an extremely precious resource necessary for survival in a special environment will definitely trigger a series of brutal battles.
The person or force that ultimately wins will establish an unshakable dictatorship in Amxalan and make a lot of money by selling water at high prices.
After all, a person may not die without eating for a few days, but he will definitely not survive without drinking water for a few days, and the death process will be very, very painful.
But fortunately, this town did not fight over the only water resource and bloodshed.
The reason is that a monk monastery took over the well and distributed it to everyone in a relatively fair way. At the same time, they also took the initiative to maintain public security and resist the invasion of bandits and monsters.
To be precise, Amxalan was built around this monastery which covers an amazing area.
Although it is within the territory of Kalingshan, it has never been part of the country's administrative system. It is closer to the independent villages and towns that are "self-built" and "autonomous".
The most important thing is that this place is poor and shabby, its geographical location is not important, and it is impossible to pose a so-called threat.
Therefore, no matter when it was ruled by the Entangled Talisman, or during the reign of Shane VII, or the current West Coast Empire, officials and troops were not sent to take over. Instead, the monk monastery was allowed to maintain the status quo.
After all, Amxalan wants no one, no mines, and even the land itself has no value at all. It is surrounded by a river and not a single bush.
Even if Zuo Si were to make the development plan himself, for a small town like this with only a few hundred people, the most he could do would be to move people to relatively fertile land to build villages.
What's more, in the small town monastery in front of you lives a man who may be the strongest monk in the entire Faerûn continent at the moment, and is also the strongest son of Baal - Balthazar.
This is a monk with LV30 professional level, and he has mastered a lot of skills such as [Reverse Resistance], [Shadow Pose], [Moon Yin Style], [Fire Sun Style], [Threading Shock Palm], [Shock
[Dazzling Fist] and other secret techniques that ordinary monks have never even heard of.
Coupled with the powerful will that has directly sealed Baal's power since its awakening, he has never wanted to use it, and he is completely invincible in close combat.
Legendary warriors and even ancient dragons of the same level will be taken away on the spot by a set of stormy combos if they are not careful.
In fact, among the "Five Descendants", the one that Melissa is most afraid of and fears the most is Balthazar, who has no desires and desires and only wants to completely eliminate the other brothers and sisters, and then commit suicide to destroy all the bloodlines of Baal in this world.
If he really does it, it will inevitably greatly weaken the power of the Blood Throne.
Even if Melisan's final plan to become a god succeeds, she will still face a big problem.
At this moment, Balthazar and Melissa were looking at each other across a table on the rooftop of the second floor of the monastery.
Although the former is wrapped in a slightly worn robe, you can still see a large number of sealing symbols tattooed on his bald head.
Especially the mysterious symbol between the eyebrows, even Melissa can vaguely feel a sense of oppression that cannot be described in words.
Obviously, although Balthazar has never used the power of Baal, with the large number of deaths of other sons of Baal, the divine power and divinity in his body have long been accumulated to a critical point.
Now there is only one opportunity, one that stems from his own understanding of killing and death, and he can instantly transform into a true demigod.
This made Melissa, who had just become a demigod, feel like a thorn in her back, and she desperately wanted to find a way to get rid of him.
But because I couldn't figure out Balthazar's trump card, I didn't dare to try it easily.
So this former first elector of Baal thought of a way to kill with a borrowed knife, that is, to encourage Balthazar to deal with several other sons of Baal who are also very powerful.
It would be best if you died in the process.
It doesn't matter even if she succeeds, she can collect enough intelligence through observation and then adopt targeted tactics.
In short, it is Melissa's biggest wish at the moment to have the five descendants start killing each other.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to frequently contact these powerful sons of Baal again and again, revealing each other's plans and ambitions to them.
Unfortunately, the implementation of this plan did not go smoothly.
Especially the abnormal surge of energy not long ago, and the sudden appearance of the passage connecting the Blood Throne above the Son of Baal's head. For the first time, Melissa noticed that the situation seemed to be increasingly out of her control, and she was gradually moving towards
Developing with the trend of violence.
If this continues, all five descendants will sooner or later become quasi-gods or even demigods.
When the time comes, the fight for the Blood Throne will inevitably become more dangerous, and all previous efforts will be wasted if you are not careful.
Thinking of this, Melissa took a deep breath and pretended to be nervous and tried: "How about it, have you thought about it?"
Balthazar nodded calmly: "Yes, I have been preparing for this day a long time ago.
Regardless of whether it is Yagasura or Zhendai, as long as they dare to start a war, I will personally deal with them.
This is both my mission and the meaning of my existence.
Compared with these, I think there are three sons of Baal that need special attention, namely Aberdare, Imoen and Sancho.
Not long ago, they had carved out an independent space of their own in the kingdom of the God of Murder.
Abazig even told me that he could even faintly feel the other person's presence in his own space.
That means that these young sons of Baal are also qualified to compete for the final ownership of the Blood Throne.
What's more, two of them, Sancho and Aberdare, can become veritable quasi-gods as long as they withstand the test."
"You are right, these two young men are indeed potential threats, and they are allies in the same adventure team."
Melissa's eyes were shining with a strange light, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
As the person who holds the souls of all the sons of Baal, it is naturally impossible for her to be ignorant of the fateful battle taking place right now.
Quite the opposite!
Whether it is Aberdare, Sancho, or Irenekas on the other side, she can use her partial control over the Blood Throne to see clearly.
But the problem is that you have to look at it. If you want to intervene, you are just thinking too much.
After all, every son of Baal who awakens and reaches a level close to a quasi-god will be affected by his own divine power and divinity, and directly carve out a small piece of his own kingdom within a kingdom in Baal's kingdom to store his spiritual essence.<
/p>
It is equivalent to a miniature, simplified and castrated version of the kingdom of gods, completely composed of the spirit and will of the sons of Baal.
Perhaps as the true master of the entire country, the God of Murder has the ability to enter, transform and even erase these countries within countries.
But Melissa simply can't do this.
Even if you get even a little closer, you may be immediately and forcefully expelled.
"In short, continue to monitor those threatening targets, and I will fulfill my promise when the time is right. That's the end of today's conversation, madam."
After saying that, Balthazar stood up and showed off his guests.
Seeing that the little trick of sowing discord was once again not seen through, Melissa had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, and disappeared into the rolling yellow sand outside the monastery gate under the leadership of two monks at the door.
Standing on the rooftop on the second floor and looking at the desolate scenery in the town, the powerful monk couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Is the fateful moment finally coming?
So doesn’t my life also enter the final countdown of Tao?
In this case, let all the killing, blood, violence and death end completely in my hands.
Baal's filthy bloodline should not remain in this world.
No matter what sins I commit in the process of achieving this goal, I am willing to bear it on my own."
There is no doubt that Balthazar is the only one among the many sons of Baal who is not evil, but tends to be lawful and good.
If it weren't for the blood of the God of Murder flowing through him, he might have become a powerful and respected master monk, and would always protect this small town standing on a desolate land.
Unfortunately, from the moment Melisan came to his door, his originally peaceful and peaceful life completely ceased to exist.
And in order to suppress the ever-expanding killing power and divinity, Balthazar also mastered a talisman by praying to the moon goddess Suellen, which can suppress the power of sealing Baal.
This is also the reason why every one of the other five descendants is very afraid of him.
By the way, in the crystal wall where the planet Toril is located, the moon goddess Suellen is the true god of light. In the creation myth and legend, she brought the first sun.
In addition, although Su Lun is the goddess of the moon, she does not represent the moon itself.
Just like the Sun God does not represent the sun, it is the result of mortals' wishful thinking and belief.
