With the reactivation of the Mythic Lock of Meth Drannor, the entire ruins of the city and the entire surrounding area were once again shrouded in magic protection.
Since this place is originally a powerful magic network node, it is essentially the same as the mad mage Halaster Blackrobe's Leyline Maze. It can continuously extract energy from the magic network to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted spells.
Effect.
One of the most famous and well-known puzzle effects is the city skyline that emits a wonderful arcane light no matter day or night, and the "Seyul Glass" on the windows that can be touched by touch.
Magical creations appear or disappear out of thin air.
This is a transparent material that is as strong as steel and can even be made into weapons, armor and shields.
But the premise is that it can only be used within the range covered by the magic mystery lock.
Once it leaves, it will instantly turn into air and disappear.
In addition, the Magic Mystery Lock also weakens the dimensional barriers in this area, allowing spellcasters and even ordinary people to easily achieve long-distance teleportation and inter-dimensional teleportation.
During the most prosperous period of the Kingdom of Cormanthor a long time ago, a permanent portal was even established leading to the Feywild, the Demiplane of Fear, and the world of Krynn where the story of Dragonlance takes place.
Among them, the "Abarat Folly" portal is connected to a tower on the edge of the Moon Sea, the "Warrior" portal is connected to the Delimbian Kingdom, the "Hall Node" portal is connected to other elven kingdoms, and the "Silver" portal can
Directly to the Kingdom of Erlan, the "Glory" portal leads to the Mir Forest on the border between Tethyr and Kalingshan.
Before the fall of Myth Drannor, a large number of elves lived in this place, and even established countries of various sizes.
To a certain extent, the Kingdom of Cormanthor has been the leader of the entire elven race in Faerûn except Evermeet for a long time.
Moreover, the area covered by the Mystic Lock will always maintain a livable temperature, environment and climate, and will never suffer extreme weather such as severe cold, scorching heat, drought, heavy rain, etc. Even storms and fires will be blocked from the outside.
Normally, creatures that are considered threats, such as dark elves, orcs, dragons, gnolls, and goblins, will instantly trigger the defense mechanism and be forcibly expelled even if they approach.
In addition, people living in the city can also use a password to gain the ability to fly, completely prohibit the magic of a certain school from taking effect, or automatically add various protective magics to designated targets, and directly teleport a person to a designated location.
place……
In short, as probably the largest and most famous magic lock in the Faerûn continent, there is no doubt that the Myth of Drannor is powerful.
Even some gods coveted it and sent incarnations several times to seize control of it.
But now, this mythical lock, which is in a period of decline, has finally returned to the hands of its creator, Silinxi.
Just a moment!
The most powerful mortal mage then drove the fleeing monsters and drow out of the area of ​​influence of Mith Drannor's magical mystique.
And use the power of the Mystery Lock to directly repair the damaged and abandoned buildings in the city, clearing away a large number of weeds, trees and vines, revealing their original majestic appearance.
Especially the mage tower that once belonged to Silinxi himself is still exactly the same as when he left it. Even the elven dragons, pixies and other small magical creatures living in it are still alive and well.
Obviously, the dark army that destroyed everything back then failed to break into this mage tower.
Moreover, inside the city, these elves from Evermeet Island also discovered hundreds of scattered remnants of the Kingdom of Cormanthor.
Among them are elves and half-elves, as well as a dwarf clan of more than a hundred people.
In short, after completely defeating the evil enemy entrenched in this dense forest, the next step for Silinxi is to gather the population, and then recruit some people from Yongju Island to settle down and set up a framework of rule on the spot.
.
Then wait for the cleanup and reconstruction work to be completed, and then find ways to restore the former prosperity and strength of the Kingdom of Cormanthor through trade.
But before that, Silinxi still needs to resurrect those dead warriors.
After all, elves are no better than humans. As long as there are enough women of childbearing age and some men, they can re-raise a large number of young and middle-aged labor force in at most 20 to 30 years.
It often takes decades or even hundreds of years for many of them to give birth to a child, so the value of a qualified warrior is much higher than the cost of using resurrection magic.
According to the conclusion drawn by Zuo Si's research, male elves are actually no different from humans. They can get pregnant with the opposite sex through mating anytime and anywhere.
However, the menstrual cycle of elf women is extremely long. It only comes once every one to two to three years, and the duration is also very short, so it is very easy to miss the best opportunity.
This also results in their extremely low fertility rate.
On the contrary, there are quite a lot of half-elves born from the union of male elves and human females.
At present, there are at least hundreds of thousands in the West Coast Empire alone.
Although not all of them are first-generation half-elves, most of them still have quite obvious elven characteristics.
Zuo Si has always felt that Corellon can select one of these half-elves who believe in him and train him to become a half-elf god.
In this way, the influence of elves in Faerûn will at least rise to a higher level.
It's a pity that this Elf Lord is a child who only recognizes the Elf as himself.
Although there is no discrimination against half-elves, and they are even allowed to go to Evermeet Island to visit their parents and brothers, they have never wanted to include half-elves in their own pantheon for so many years.
In other words, the focus of the entire elf country Arvandor has never been on Toril.
After all, not only is there a god, Io, who is in charge here, but there is also a powerful god like the goddess of magic who is obviously superior to other gods.
So Corellon just sent an avatar to stay in the crystal wall system for a long time to handle various daily affairs, answer the prayers of priests and believers, and cause some trouble for the orc gods.
Although the elves caused many earth-shattering events after coming to Faerûn, the elves and gods kept a low profile most of the time.
There was only one schism during the Crown War and then there was no more movement.
Just when Zuo Si was thinking about the purpose of this powerful god showing his kindness to him, Eilistraee suddenly broke the silence and asked with curious eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression and replied: "It's nothing, I just think Weilun's character shouldn't give up so easily.
If nothing else, he should also instruct the escaped believers to gather together and continue to unite with the forces of Zhentil Castle or Ghost City to try to compete with the elves for control of Cormanthor.
The next multi-party game is the most critical.
In addition, your mother is not a fuel-efficient person, and she might make some big noise at some point.
So regardless of the outcome of this war, Everjum Island won, but restoring the Kingdom of Cormanthor to its former glory still needs the baptism and test of time."
Eilistraee nodded with deep understanding: "You are right.
Compared to the cunning but cowardly brother, the mother is the most terrifying enemy.
I don't know why, but I always feel very nervous and uneasy lately.
Maybe my mother is planning some terrible plan.
If you notice anything please let me know.
In return, I will satisfy your thirst for artifacts, knowledge, and magic as much as possible."
"No problem. If the Spider Queen makes any big moves, I will send the news to you as soon as possible."
Zuo Si agreed without hesitation.
Although this pair of gods, mother and daughter, are both of the chaotic camp, judging from their current experience with each other, Eilistraee, who has a quieter and kinder personality, is obviously more suitable as an ally.
On the one hand, she has a close relationship with the goddess of magic and the elves, and her background is incredible.
To be honest, Zuo Si never quite understood why he didn't seek help from the powerful allies behind him during the Battle of the Spider Queen, but took huge risks to play the conspiracy he was least good at with the powerful Rose.
On the other hand, Rose's extremely chaotic, manic, paranoid, and twisted behavior has violated his bottom line more than once.
This resentful woman's resentment and anger towards the elven pantheon have already reached the sky, and she is basically either looking for trouble with Corellon or on her way to causing trouble.
And it never stops, never gets tired, never forgives, and has absolutely no sense at all.
So Zuo Si has always been very sure that even if the Spider Goddess is not a relentless enemy, she will at least be someone to be wary of like the Night Goddess Shar.
This means that in order to prevent this guy from doing things behind her back, a buffer zone must be built around her.
Eilistraee is the best candidate for this buffer zone.
If necessary, Zuo Si wouldn't even mind including Velen, who had already offended him, as a partner.
Anyway, as long as it can cause trouble and trouble for Rose, someone on his left will secretly help.
Especially when the Spider Queen's war is about to break out, there is absolutely no reason to stay out of it.
You must know that Faerun is one of Zuo Si's most important fundamentals.
He would never allow the power he had finally established to be severely damaged or even completely destroyed because of the actions of some lunatics.
As a person who likes to take the initiative, he will not wait for the other party to get in his way before counterattacking belatedly.
Instead, they will confirm who the potential enemies are in advance as much as possible, and then make a series of corresponding arrangements.
"Thank you. Working with you may be the best decision I have ever made."
