With full harvest, Zuo Si returned to the Mage Tower with Wilmes.
Because with Erinikas running away, the secret base in the Holding Gold Mall area has been basically completely abandoned, and it is estimated that it will not be restarted in the future.
Even the portals and passages connecting the demiplanes were completely destroyed in the previous battles, with not even a single residue left.
But just when he had just come back and was about to calm down and study the interesting magical artifact [Erenikas Mask] and the special skills hidden inside it, he was suddenly notified by the consciousness of the tower that there was a person marked as "
"Important" person is currently waiting for me in the reception room.
You don't need to ask to know that this person is none other than Xia En VII who came here to look for allies and cooperation partners.
And it is different from the body of a moon elf woman before.
This powerful demilich doesn't know whether he used any transformation spell or special magic like wishing.
In short, he appears as an elderly Calishite male.
Obviously, this look is what the Undead Emperor Xia En VII looked like before he transformed into a lich.
Especially the crown worn on the head, it is obviously the exclusive item of the emperor of the Shane Dynasty, a huge empire that almost unified the entire west coast of Faerûn.
After successive emperors continuously strengthened it, its dazzling arcane aura is almost the same as an artifact.
You must know that after the "Sharp Tooth" of Ivy Colasagran overthrew the Shane Dynasty, he scraped the earth to find this treasure that was not only priceless, but also highly symbolic.
But unfortunately, she only found one fake in the end.
Although this fake also has a very high enchantment level and collection value, it is still several levels behind the original.
As for the crown currently kept in the Calimport Palace, it is a fake.
To be precise, after the collapse of the Shane Dynasty, the descendants of Shane VII quickly lost their right to rule the entire country and even the capital Calimport under their feet in chaos and turmoil.
In the end, in the conspiracy and massacre again and again, his direct bloodline has long been cut off, leaving only a few illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters who were looked down upon by the society at that time. They survived in anonymity. They were not even nobles and could only be regarded as commoners or
Struggling to survive as a slave.
Therefore, all those later careerists and usurpers did not know that the crown was a fake among fakes.
I thought that what was preserved in the palace was the real symbol of the rule of the Shah En Dynasty that had been passed down for thousands of years. Anyone wearing it was equivalent to obtaining the "legal" inheritance rights and land claims of the ancient empire.
Zuo Si has always been very interested in these lost civilizations and empires in the history of Faerûn, as well as the hidden histories and secrets within them. Therefore, he knew a little about the legendary story about this crown, so he used half a sentence in his first sentence when they met.
He asked in a joking tone: "Are you planning to take back the rule of Calishan and then announce to the public that the emperor of the great Shane Dynasty is back?"
"No, I just hope that when she meets her most powerful enemy, she can recognize who I am at first sight."
When he said these words, Xia En VII's eyes flashed with naked and undisguised anger and hatred.
"Are you going to hunt the "Sharp Tooth" of Ivicola Sagram?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You must know that although Xia En VII has an arcane spell casting level as high as lv36, and a large number of spell casting skills that ordinary mages cannot even imagine, it is still not enough to kill the blue dragon queen that hangs over the southern sky of Faerun.
Far away.
This can be glimpsed from the results of several battles between the two sides in history.
Among them, the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicola Sagram only suffered a certain degree of damage at most, which was far from fatal.
But Xia En VII was seriously injured more than once, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He voluntarily chose to fake death and spent three years transforming into a lich and hiding in hiding.
What's more, after more than a thousand years, Sharptooth has actually included the three countries of Calimshan, Tethyr and Amn into its territory.
Yes!
You heard it right!
This powerful evil dragon controls three entire countries, and openly levies a fixed tithe from the supreme ruler of each country, as well as some other messy additional taxes.
Neither the six-member Council of Amn, nor the titular emperor of Calimshan, nor the nobles of Tethyr who are in the middle of a civil war, dare to refuse any of their requests.
Even the churches of good gods and the holy warriors who claim to be righteous have chosen to remain silent on this matter.
It's not that they don't want to eradicate this huge threat, but it's just that they really can't defeat it.
The most important thing is that "Sharp Tooth" of Ivicola Sagram is not only a legendary dragon king with seventeen age groups (Taikoo is the twelfth age group, Sharp Tooth's effective age group is also based on this)
Five additional levels higher), and also has the spell-casting ability of a lv27 legendary warlock, and even mastered several legendary spells.
It can be said that she has almost reached the physical limit of the dragon race. She is only one step away from the "Dragon of Conferred Gods" to gain immortality and become a demigod.
Xia En VII undoubtedly noticed Zuo Si's reaction, nodded slightly and explained: "You guessed it, I am indeed planning to hunt the culprit who single-handedly ruined the Xia En Dynasty.
Because there is definite news, Sharptooth will leave his hiding place in a few days and go to the palace of Calimport alone to collect the taxes of the past few decades.
I think this is a great opportunity.
And you are the ally I need.
As long as we join forces, this guy won't even have a chance to escape.
And I promise that Sharptooth's body and all her treasures will be yours after the event is completed."
"Do it in Calimport?
Have you ever thought about the horrific damage and killing caused to buildings and civilians by releasing various high-level and even legendary spells with astonishing power in the city?
In addition, what should I do with the entangled talisman?
I don't think they would watch two enemies fight until both were injured without taking advantage.
In addition, Calimshan is also the place with the largest number of followers of Yin Ermat, the god of suffering.
If the battle affects too many innocent civilians, especially children, and a large number of believers beg this god for help, how do you think he will react?
My dear Majesty, times have changed.
Today's Faerûn is no longer like before, and gods rarely interfere directly with mortal activities.
Quite the opposite!
Whether it is the gods, the devils from Baator Hell, or the devils of the Abyss, they are all trying to expand their influence as much as possible.
Coupled with the fact that after the end of the Year of Turbulence, the god Io permanently changed the rules of the game among the gods, I suggest you think twice before you act."
Zuo Si pointed out the core issue very keenly.
Obviously, in his opinion, going to the Calimport Palace to ambush Ivicola Saglan "Sharp Tooth" is simply a bad idea. There are too many external forces that may interfere in the whole process.
.
"You mean... we should change to a more hidden and less detectable ambush location?" Xia En VII frowned subconsciously.
Zuo Si sneered and shook his head: "No, no, no, I think you misunderstood.
This is not a problem that can be solved by changing the ambush location. You must first confirm the attitude of Yin Ermat, the God of Suffering, towards the return of your ancient emperor.
As long as he does not object, then Tyr, the God of Justice, who also has a large church in Calimshan, will naturally not object either.
In this way, there is basically no need to worry about intervention from God.
Next, we need to solve the second problem, which is the Lords of Talisman entrenched in Calimshan.
I believe you should be very aware that under the leadership of Ragon, the power of the Entanglement Talisman has become like a huge spider web, connecting most of the nobles, merchants and thieves guilds in most of Calimshan and even the Kingdom of Tethyr.
To avoid their eyes and ears and quietly end the battle with a dragon king like Ivicola Sagran "Sharp Tooth" is simply a fantasy.
Compared to this, I think we can consider stealing that huge amount of tax money first.
When Sharptooth discovers that the money that should belong to her has been stolen, guess how she will react based on her temper?"
Shane VII touched his chin and thought for a moment, then quickly showed a sinister smile: "With his sharp-toothed temper, he will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Calim Port and vent his anger with blood, destruction and death. This way.
If so, it will no longer be us who need to face her, but the Entangling Talisman."
"That's right! First provoke a war between the enemy and the enemy, and then we hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity.
If Sharptooth wins, then we can work together to destroy the Entangled Talisman first.
It just so happens that my people have recently collected a lot of information about the Lord of Talisman.
Even if we can't really eradicate it, we can still severely damage the entire organization, at least kill Lagon as the leader."
Zuo Si said meaningfully.
Ever since he forged a grudge against the Tangled Talisman, he has been plotting to eradicate this evil organization controlled by undead spellcasters.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to transform Lei Yin into an undead lich and presented him with a phylactery in exchange for Lagon's trust.
