Chapter 903: The confrontation between two goddesses in the air(2/4)
"You want a clear commitment? That's easy! I have a devil's contract here. Just sign it to ensure that you get everything you want afterwards."
With that said, Viconia directly threw a parchment scroll that had been prepared in advance on the table.
She had undoubtedly anticipated how the Chief Archmage would react, and did not give the other party the slightest excuse to delay.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Gonfu's face instantly became serious. He carefully unfolded it and read the small print on it. After confirming the content, he put down the scroll and tried in an uncertain tone: "I just need to remain neutral.
Can you get this without doing anything?"
"Yes. It's easy to do, isn't it? My master is much more generous than you think."
Viconia pursed her lips and showed a half-smiling expression.
"I don't understand, what's your position on this internal fight between the dark elves and the gods?"
Gonfu's tone revealed strong doubts and confusion.
In his opinion, if Zuo Si is on Eilistraee's side, he should allow himself to provide more help or intelligence support to his daughter.
If he was on Rose's side, he should prevent his daughter from approaching Menzoberranzan, or even allow himself to directly imprison Lirael as her father, so that she would not be able to complete her mission.
But Zuo Si chose a seemingly neutral attitude.
It's really hard not to think about this.
"Haha, do you think I am qualified to know this?"
Viconia asked with a sneer.
Although she was considered Zuo Si's confidant to a large extent and had access to many secrets, she did not dare to speculate on her master's intentions.
After all, the alliance between Zuo Si and Eilistraee does not have huge interests as a bond like the goddess of wealth Woking, the natural cycle Talona, the god of knowledge Ogma, and the goddess of magic Midnight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rather than saying that the two are allies, it is more appropriate to say that Zuo Si unilaterally gave Eilistraee assistance.
Especially the huge drow city under Dragonspear Castle, without the full support of the West Coast Empire and the Trade Alliance, even if the Dark Maiden works hard for decades, it may not be possible for hundreds of years to build it.
Not to mention changing their bad image of being evil, twisted, cruel, and bloodthirsty in the minds of surface residents.
Although Eilistraee later taught her her unique swordsmanship in return, the status between the two was always unequal.
Therefore, Viconia is not sure whether Zuo Si really regards Eilistraee as an ally or as a valuable chess piece.
In addition, the relationship between Zuo Si and Rose is also quite confusing.
Although the two sides have had more than one confrontation and conflict before, they also occasionally have transactions and cooperation.
At the level Viconia is at now, she has no ability or qualification to see through the phenomenon and see the essence behind the whole thing.
She has always positioned herself quite accurately, that is, as an executor of the master's will.
Other than that, you don’t need to think too much, let alone have your own ideas.
"Okay, I think I understand what you mean."
Gonfu sighed and signed his name on the contract.
In a blink of an eye!
The parchment burned violently and turned into ashes very quickly.
Both people in the room knew that this powerfully binding devil's contract had come into effect, and there was basically no possibility of going back on it.
In particular, the Chief Archmage knows the identity of Planeswalker Zuo Si and understands that even escaping to other planes is meaningless in front of this person. He will be found soon and pay the price with his soul.
But fortunately, the terms of the contract are not too harsh, and are even a little generous.
Gromph just needs to keep silent and stop interfering in what happens next in Menzoberranzan.
"Great! Here, take this with you. If you encounter any danger, just activate it directly. It can directly teleport you to the ninth level of Baator Hell, or to the mage tower of the West Coast Empire in the surface world, it depends.
It’s up to you to choose.”
After that, Viconia threw a mark that contained powerful magical power.
The Chief Archmage subconsciously took it in his hand and cast a detection spell.
The next second...
The dazzling arcane light from above almost blinded his eyes that were extremely sensitive to light.
powerful!
So powerful!
As a great mage who was only one step away from becoming a legend, Gonfu couldn't believe that someone could add so many powerful magics to a small mark, more than 70% of which he couldn't even identify.
If it were him, he would never give something like this away easily, or even let others see it.
Because magic equipment of this level can make the final difference at critical moments.
But now, the other party actually threw it to me as easily as throwing a gold coin.
Viconia obviously noticed the chief mage's reaction, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised. The master is far more powerful and wealthy than you imagine. As long as you are willing to surrender, he can provide you with everything you desire.
"
"Everything I desire..."
Gonfu stared at the badge in his hand and repeated this sentence in a low voice.
If Viconia had said this before, he might not have taken it seriously.
After all, in his impression, whether they are gods, demon lords or devil dukes, they are all a group of extremely stingy guys who will not easily give benefits to mortals, even if the other person is his most devout believer.
But now after feeling the amazing magical power contained in the emblem in his hand, he began to realize that there might be something different about Zuo Si.
This can also be glimpsed from Viconia's almost luxurious top-notch magic equipment.
Especially the mace in his hand is definitely an evil artifact with an enchantment level of 5 or above.
Just as an agreement was being reached here, in another tavern in Menzoberranzan, a drow priestess dressed as a priest was sitting in the corner, drinking alone.
Although everyone around her showed strong curiosity about her identity, no one dared to approach her easily.
Because the high-ranking priestesses of Lolth are not very good-tempered. Once they offend the opponent, they will be punished with a snake-head whip, or at worst, they will be killed on the spot.
What's more, now everyone in the city knows that the Spider Queen suddenly disappeared for some reason, and the priestesses have become particularly sensitive, violent, and cruel because of this. Many unlucky ones have been hit by the muzzle of the gun and thrown to feed the spiders like slaves.
.
So no one dares to go forward easily to seek death.
Even the male waiter responsible for serving food and wine was extremely careful. Every time he walked up to him with his head lowered and put the things on the plate on the table as quickly as possible, without even daring to look at the other person's face.
.
But no one knew that this priestess did not believe in Rose, but the Dark Maiden Eilistraee.
Her name is Helene Moran, she is exactly what Lirael needs to find, and she is also a chosen one.
But unlike Lirael and Kuilu, who are well-established voters, she used to be the high priestess of the Spider Queen, but later converted to Eilistraee for some reason.
Not only that!
She was also chosen to use an artifact to take advantage of Rose's silence to travel to the other country's country to kill the evil goddess.
It has to be said that such a bold decision not only shocked the entire Dark Maiden Church from top to bottom, but even Heliste Moran herself did not know why the goddess made such an arrangement.
This is as if a country suddenly entrusted the general who surrendered to the enemy with the important task of the national army, and then asked him to lead the troops to destroy his mother country. It is simply outrageous.
From this point alone, we can see that Eilistraee and Rose are indeed mother and daughter. Even the nature of chaos is the same, but the latter has a deeper understanding of chaos.
After all, in terms of qualifications, wisdom, means and abilities, Heliste Moran is far inferior to Kui Lu, the prophet and the undisputed supreme leader of the church.
But when she learned that she was going to face the cold, vicious Spider Queen and kill him with her own hands, a strong sense of mission arose in her heart, as if this was the whole meaning of her life.
But it was also very shaken and struggling.
Because she once spent her whole life serving the Spider God Queen, constantly killing people, and constantly gaining strength and authority.
And it had only been ten days since she abandoned all of this and took refuge with the new goddess.
How can you be sure that this is a real change and that you are following your true heart?
You must know that she was homeless at that time, the city she lived in was destroyed, and everything she knew was gone with the wind.
Helister Moran was very sure that her conversion to Eilistraee was more of an impulsive decision, which could even be called very rash. It was the fear of the vast and unpredictable future that drove her to make such a choice.
.
She was completely unsure whether she could stab the artifact into the heart of Rose and complete the feat of killing the gods after seeing Rose with her own eyes.
There was even a very strong hunger left in her heart.
"Maybe this is why Eilistraee chose me? I can still feel the power and call of Rose..."
Helister Moran whispered in a voice that only she could hear.
Just as she was thinking about the goddess's intention in choosing her, a familiar figure suddenly walked in from outside and walked straight to the table and sat down.
"How about it, has the Crescent Blade arrived?"
Helister Moran raised her head and asked in an uneasy tone.
