Accompanied by the vibration and roar of the horses' hooves trampling on the ground, the team formed by the three churches was like a sharp knife, dividing the entire battlefield in less than ten minutes.
Anyone who tried to block their progress would be crushed without mercy.
In particular, the Celestial Horse, which is far superior to ordinary heavy war horses, can even create a spiritual connection with the Paladin similar to that of a wizard, a warlock, a familiar, a druid, or an animal companion. It truly achieves the integration of man and horse, which is not something ordinary cavalry or knights can do with.
Comparable to it.
Coupled with the speed and impact brought by riding, many medium and large enchanted shields were either cracked or directly penetrated by the impact of their spears, and the people behind the shields were nailed to the ground together with them.
Then he was trampled into a pulp by the heavenly horses roaring past.
As for those paladins who lost their long-handled weapons in the battle, they even raised their long swords or two-handed giant swords and used the terrifying [Evil-Slaying Slash] on horseback.
When the acceleration of the sprint and the power of perfection poured into the sword's edge complement each other, often with one strike of the sword, even a heavily armored warrior wearing full plate armor will be split in half instantly.
Witnessed by miracles, these holy warriors representing kindness and law exerted strength several times higher than usual, and completely ignored danger and death.
The priests who followed were not stingy with their magical powers, constantly releasing them to provide treatment, protection and some beneficial blessings.
When they fought their way through the huge crowd, only seventy of the more than one hundred paladins remained.
More than thirty of them, along with their mounts, fell on the charging road and turned into bloody corpses.
More than a third of the others in the team were killed or injured.
But what is unbelievable is that there is no trace of sadness on these people's faces, but smiles of relief.
Because through the golden light falling from the sky, one can vaguely see the souls of those glorious victims. At this moment, they have been directly picked up by the gods and headed to the outer plane to be led by Tyr, the god of justice, Ilmat, the god of suffering, and Loyalty and Courage.
The kingdom established by the god Tom - the Temple of the Three Gods.
The most benevolent angels are singing for them, praising their justice and brave life, and the gods are also shining their recognition and praise on them.
There is no doubt that this is the highest glory that paladin and all believers who pursue goodness and order can imagine.
Not only is it not worth being sad to die in this way, but you should be happy for the deceased.
Of course, the troops loyal to Xia En VII were not idle at the moment. They were raining down arrows, as well as a lot of stones, and stones on the mercenaries, adventurers, thugs and high-level slaves who were truly capable of fighting.
bombs and jars filled with kerosene.
Especially the last one, it will cause huge panic among the enemies every time it explodes in the crowd.
The mage group also used magic missiles, fireballs, greasy spells, spider webs, fireworks, and Ma Youfu's acid arrows to hit the densest crowds on the opposite side, making it impossible to stop enough people to form a dense square block.
Cavalry charge.
Almost at the same time, the city defense army and the Imperial Guard quickly drove the frightened and coerced slaves to a small square nearby and handed them over to the Ilmat priest who was already waiting there.
Since most slaves and poor people in Calimshan are believers of the God of Suffering, when they saw their church, their panicked mood was immediately soothed.
The government doesn't even need anyone to manage it. A dozen Ilmat priests can arrange tens of thousands of slaves.
Because they had too much experience in distributing food, drinking water and medical supplies to slaves and poor people, they easily divided the slaves into small groups of hundreds and selected a person to be temporarily responsible for management.
In this way, we only need to ensure the most basic food and drinking water supply for the slaves, and there will be no big trouble.
All the officials have to do is communicate directly with these Ilmat priests.
It can even be said that with the participation of the Church of the God of Suffering, the government can save a lot of manpower and management costs just in settling slaves and converting them into free people, and it can also reduce the possible suspicion of slaves.
and resistance.
As a large number of slaves who had been kidnapped were rescued, both the city defense troops and the Praetorian Guards loyal to Charles VII, as well as the armed forces from the three churches, all started to loosen their hands and begin to violently suppress the rebels.<
/p>
At this moment, facing this kind of army with strong discipline and incomparable professionalism, as well as the terrifying blessings from gods and religious groups, the loose and non-belonging alliance of nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners suddenly seemed like a fragment.
Sha, we can't organize any decent resistance at all.
After all, they are just a ragtag group, and perhaps they can gain some advantages in small-scale battles by relying on their higher professional levels and better equipment.
But for this kind of war involving tens of thousands of people, the two most fatal flaws were immediately exposed.
The first is that there is no unified command. Those mercenaries, adventurers and thugs hired with money do not have much experience in fighting hundreds or thousands of regular troops.
There was also no cooperation between them. Things like betraying teammates and stabbing people in the back happened no less than twenty times in just a few minutes.
In order to escape, the various intrigues between the mercenary group and the adventure team are simply spectacular.
For example, let the mage and warlock teammates release the greasy spell at the feet of other teams behind them, so that they cannot run fast, and in the end they can only turn around and fight the army desperately;
Another example is when entering an alley, deliberately pushing down barrels and other debris piled next to it, so that people behind can't come in;
Some even went crazy and started attacking each other, no matter how critical the situation was. They killed and wounded more than half of them before the army came over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In short, to implement a principle, I don’t need to be the fastest, I just need to be a little faster than most people.
Especially the selfish nature of adventurers and mercenaries, without a strong commander to restrain them, directly staged a textbook-level rout.
Of course, these are no longer important.
Because from the moment the large-scale rout occurred, this farce was officially over.
Shane VII used blood, death and an unprecedented tough attitude to directly declare to the world who is the supreme ruler of Calimport.
After clearing the streets of the enemies participating in the rebellion, the army immediately began to attack the luxurious homes of nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners.
The male members of their family were dragged out on the street and pronounced guilty and executed, while the women were taken as prisoners and trophies. They were later distributed to officers and soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in battle, and all their property was confiscated.
Not just in the city!
A part of the army also went outside the city to attack the manor castles that mainly relied on slaves to operate. At the same time, they forced all surrounding towns and villages to swear allegiance to the great Emperor Shane VII and accept obedience to the officials he sent. p>
If nothing else goes wrong, within a month or so at most, Calimport and the land and wealth within its radiation range will be completely digested and absorbed, providing sufficient food, weapons and human resources for Shane VII to launch a war to conquer the entire Calimshan.
Guaranteed.
But the undead emperor obviously didn't care much about these trivial matters now. Instead, he stared at the prophecy crystal ball placed in front of him, constantly thinking about the sacred light cast by the three tearing dark clouds. It took a full minute before he smiled.
He sighed and said: "You are indeed right. The gods are interfering in the material world more and more frequently. Such actions like directly casting miracles on the battlefield were almost unimaginable in my time.
”
Zuo Si nodded in agreement: "That's because the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, and the God of Loyalty and Courage have long disliked Calimshan's slavery, and are full of chaos and evil in this land.
Disgusted. Most importantly, Io, the god of turmoil, permanently changed the relationship between divine power and faith in this world. Therefore, bringing Calimshan back to order and tending towards kindness can make these three gods more
It is powerful and can greatly increase its influence."
"Then how do you think we should restrict it? I don't want these churches to start dictating the laws and policies of the empire after they grow stronger." A slightly distressed expression appeared on the face of Shane VII.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that after gaining freedom, hundreds of thousands of huge slave groups will definitely be grateful to these three churches and their gods, and even become extremely devout believers.
By then, if the people turn to Tyr, Ilmat, and Thom in terms of faith, then the direction of public opinion and policies will inevitably change accordingly.
You must know that Sean VII was a typical tyrant who liked to be dictatorial. What he hated most was the interference of church forces in secular rule.
In addition, I do not agree with the thoughts and teachings of these good camp gods.
Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "It's actually very simple! Introduce more beliefs in gods to maintain balance, and at the same time support those churches that already exist but are not very powerful.
For example, the church of Bane, the god of tyranny;
Another example is the church of Helm, the God of Guard;
Or the church of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, the church of the goddess of magic, the church of Azuth, the god of wizards, the church of Chantia, the earth goddess, the church of Gond, the god of craftsmen, and Og, the god of knowledge.
The church of Mar, the church of Tymora, the goddess of luck, the church of Woking, the goddess of wealth...
Anyway, as long as they can maintain their rule and promote social development, agriculture, and industrial and commercial prosperity, they will publicize it and provide their churches with more opportunities to attract believers.
But those gods and their churches that only create turmoil and chaos must be suppressed mercilessly.
At that time, as long as corresponding laws are formulated and a good balance is maintained, the gods and their churches will not become an obstacle, but can become a powerful help.
The so-called politics is to unite as many forces as possible that can be used for oneself, and at the same time attack and eradicate all enemies who are destined to be impossible to win over.
This rule still applies when dealing with the Church of God.
In addition, a series of reward and punishment mechanisms can also be promulgated to forcibly establish a competitive relationship between different churches, creating some minor frictions and confrontations that are not very serious, and ensuring that they can never unite together.
In short, except for a few people who are too crazy and irrational, most of the gods in the world are relatively easy to talk to and usually do not do anything too outrageous."
After hearing these words, Shane VII immediately nodded thoughtfully, and then asked with great interest: "Is this what you did in the Neransir Islands and Luskan?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Absolutely. I am a pragmatist, and I don't care much about the battle between camps and concepts such as good and evil, order and chaos.
Like the Nelanthel Islands, which are very dependent on ship navigation, I built magnificent temples to worship the sea goddess Umberli and the storm god Talos in exchange for them not causing huge storms on the busiest sea routes.
Huge waves and terrifying storms.
Even if there are occasional huge waves and storms, the priests stationed in the temple will give advance notice to avoid unnecessary losses to the greatest extent.
This is why I can control the mysteries of Sword Coast and Sword Sea.
In contrast, Luskan is on the edge of the Far North. Although it also has a huge demand for shipping, it mainly faces the terrible cold in winter.
So I built a magnificent statue for the Winter Goddess Aurel in the largest temple in Luskan, the Winter Hall, to ensure that the temperature every winter can be maintained in a relatively tolerable range, while shortening the ice period.
, so that we can engage in more agricultural and handicraft production activities.
To put it simply, I think gods are no different from mortals to a certain extent. As long as they understand and meet their needs, they can make transactions that are beneficial to both parties.
Of course, the premise is that there must be sufficient strength and capital."
"Understand and meet God's requirements, and then make deals with them..."
An unnoticeable horror flashed across Xia En VII's eyes for an instant, and he also realized what the young man standing in front of him really had towards the gods.
That is not looking up like yourself, but facing the gods directly with an equal attitude.
Otherwise, you would never use the word "transaction", but should use "enshrine" and "give".
But soon, the undead emperor regained his composure and said in a slightly playful tone: "I now believe more and more that after integrating Amn, Calimshan, Tethyr and Baldur's Gate, Siha
After the Trand region, you can build an unprecedented great empire and push it to an unprecedented height."
"Maybe, who knows what will happen in the future."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Davian and Apke walking in from outside.
Behind them were several followers, dragging five huge sacks in. Many of them were stained black and red with blood.
After Apke came in without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground and presented a list with both hands. He reported with joy: "Your Majesty! According to your instructions, I have destroyed all the lairs of the thieves guilds in Calim Port.
, and captured all their main members in one fell swoop. Here are the quantities of various weapons, equipment, potions, magic items, gems and other materials seized. Please take a look."
"Well done!"
Xia En VII took the list and glanced at it, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.
After hundreds of years of development and growth, these thieves' guilds have already become a decisive force in Calimport. They can even compete with the nobles and merchant classes and play a pivotal position in the game of power.
Therefore, the wealth they possess is far more amazing than the outside world imagines.
Some old-fashioned thieves guilds that have existed for two or three hundred years even have millions of gold coins in cash stored in underground treasure houses, which is no less than those powerful dragons that have already made a name for themselves.
After all, Calimport is a "super metropolis" ranked among the entire Faerûn continent, with a permanent population of 200,000.
This does not include the merchants, travelers, adventurers and huge numbers of slaves traveling from north to south.
Many thieves guilds can make a lot of money just by collecting protection fees from merchants, vendors, hotels, taverns, brothels, and theaters.
Not to mention that protection fees can only be regarded as the most insignificant part of the Thieves Guild's numerous incomes.
In addition, they also control theft, robbery, burglary, human trafficking, kidnapping and extortion, various forms of gambling, slave wrestling and narcotics businesses on their territory, and are engaged in various contraband and high-profit commodities.
smuggling.
Due to its long history and long development time, coupled with the prosperous business environment, the Thieves Guild in Calimport is far more playful than the Shadow Thieves of Amn. Even the famous mafia on earth is weak compared to them.
Exploded.
Looking at the seven or eight hundred years of history since the end of the Xia En Dynasty, we will know how rampant and unscrupulous they were during this period.
Of the total of one hundred and seventy emperors, nearly half were killed by assassinations from the Thieves Guild.
More than 340 governors were dismembered alive because they refused the cooperation proposal proposed by the leader of the Thieves Guild, and their heads were hung in the most conspicuous place for public display.
Even the commanders of the city defense army and the imperial guard were brutally killed.
In the craziest era when order collapsed and law was ineffective, some powerful thieves guild leaders could even mobilize an army of tens of thousands of people with a single order.
However, with the rise of the Entangled Talisman, the Thieves Guild was gradually infiltrated and controlled, and they inevitably became playthings in the hands of lich and vampires.
"Your Majesty, I also brought the heads of the leaders of the Thieves Guild. Do you want to take a look?" Apke asked cautiously.
Xia En VII shook his head without thinking: "No, just take it out and find a place to bury it or throw it away. They are not worthy of letting me see it in person."
"Got it."
Apke quickly turned around and winked at his men.
The latter immediately understood and immediately dragged the two bloody sacks out, but there were still three sacks left in place.
Xia En VII obviously noticed this and immediately raised his head and asked: "What are in these three bags?"
Just when Apke was about to give an answer, Davian jumped in and said: "These three bags are filled with people, and they are my gifts to the master."
"People? Gifts?"
Xia En VII was stunned for a moment, then showed a curious expression and quickly turned his gaze to Zuo Si.
Zuo Si was also confused at this moment, and immediately gave the Flame Dragon Knight a gesture to open the bag.
Without saying a word, Davian quickly tore open the sack with his bare hands and terrifying brute force.
In the blink of an eye, three unlucky guys with all their limbs disabled appeared in the center of the palace.
When he saw Zuo Si's face, which was almost unchanged from the dark elf form, Jarlaxle immediately realized that his previous guess was correct. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it! I was raped by Benshaba, the goddess of misfortune.
Is it cursed? How come I still bump into you when I come to the surface!"
"Haha, this only shows that we are destined to be together. But you look really embarrassed now, dear Jarlaxle." Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh and tease.
He really didn't expect that he would receive such a surprise at the end of his trip to Caling Port.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me a good time. Anyway, at this point, I don't expect you to let me live." Jarlaxle urged with a look of death.
But Zuo Si stretched out a finger and shook it gently, and said with a half-smile: "No, no, no, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. I never meant to kill people like you.
, it would be too wasteful to kill them directly.”
"You want me to work for you?"
Jarlaxle raised his head suddenly, his eyes clearly showing a strong desire to survive.
After all, who wants to die if they can still live?
Especially for a dark elf like him who doesn't believe in the spider goddess Rose, who knows how his soul will be tortured if it falls into the hands of this evil goddess.
What's more, he has done too many things like betrayal.
You can pretend to obey first, and then find an opportunity to escape when the other party relaxes their vigilance.
Of course, even without using any spells to detect Jarlaxle's mental activities at the moment, Zuo Si could roughly guess, so he immediately raised the corner of his mouth and responded in a slightly joking tone: "That's right, I
I do want you to work for me. But maybe it’s not the way you understand.”
"What do you mean?"
Jarlaxle frowned subconsciously, suddenly having a bad premonition.
"Before discussing this matter, shouldn't you introduce the person next to me first?" Zuo Si pointed to Entreri next to him.
After all, he had seen the female monk who was a mixture of dark elf and ogre before in Menzoberranzan, but this was the first time he had seen this special-looking human being.
"Master, he is the legendary killer of the Calimport Thieves Guild—Artemis Entreri."
Davian bluntly reported the identity of the killer.
Upon hearing this name, Zuo Si's eyes instantly lit up, and he began to look at the other person up and down with a very strange look. After a while, he asked: "Artemis Entreri, haven't you become independent from Dayet?" Are you a mercenary group? Why do you want to follow Jarlaxle into this muddy water?"
"Because I owe him a favor and I must repay it." Entreri answered in a tone without any emotion.
"That's it."
Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully.
As we all know, except for those low-class ruffians, any truly self-respecting strong person, whether good or evil, will never owe others a favor without repaying it.
Entreri may be vicious and ruthless, but he is also a proud and arrogant guy.
This can be seen from the fact that he wanted to compete with Drizzt more than once.
So if Jarlaxle uses repaying the favor as a bargaining chip, he will definitely be able to recruit this notorious killer.
After thinking about this, Zuo Si gave Davian a wink directly.
The latter immediately raised his sandbag-sized fists and hit the three prisoners on the head twice, knocking them unconscious.
Seeing that the three prisoners had lost consciousness, Zuo Si cast the seven-ring magic [Regeneration] to first grow back Entreri's severed limbs, and then healed the fractures for Jarlaxle and the unknown monk. arms and legs.
After finishing all this, he activated the power of sparks in front of Shane VII and Apke, and directly made a group summoning creature card.
[Biology card: Good gay friends (love and kill each other)]
[LV9 multi-color cards (can be upgraded and can be integrated into special characters. Such as Drizzt Do'Urden and other important members of Dayet's independent mercenary group)]
[Card quality: unique]
[Effect: Summon Jarlaxle Baenre, the founder and leader of the Dayet independent mercenary group, and his closest partners Artemis Entreri and Anya Trukai to serve the planeswalker .
Special ability - fatal attack (if Entreri launches a sneak attack after carefully observing the opponent, there is a very high chance of killing him with one blow, or destroying important organs and nerve centers, causing the target to be paralyzed and unable to move)< /p>
He is equipped with a powerful secondary artifact - the Claw of Charon.
This weapon was made by the ancient Netherese people, who have extremely evil and terrifying self-awareness. Anyone who holds this sword must have a will confrontation with it. If they fail, their souls will be destroyed immediately, and their heads will be destroyed.
The skin and flesh will also be burned away, leaving only a black skeleton.
Of course, if you pass, you can use this powerful and terrifying force to destroy your enemies.
Holding the Claw of Charon allows the user to gain "dark vision" and can temporarily create opaque walls during combat, allowing the sword to emit a strange and unknown black light.
If you like, you can leave a cloud of smoke in the air.
Charon's Claw is regarded as a 4-sharp sword. When it hits a creature, it only needs to create a small wound, which will quickly fester and eventually poison it.
In addition, when close to the area of influence of the Mythra Core, it will also receive a progressive enhancement, giving the holder access to many evil spell-like abilities.
Jarlaxle Baenre (Warrior LV12/Duelist LV6)
Special Ability - Cautious Defense (Jarlaxle, who has an intelligence attribute of up to eighteen points, can use his smart brain to see through the enemy's attack intentions in advance and make predictions based on this. This makes him, who is already very cunning, particularly difficult to
hit)
Special Ability - Precision Attack (When using a one-handed piercing weapon, Jarlaxle can easily attack the enemy's vital points, causing more fatal wounds. However, when using this skill to attack, his off-hand weapon cannot participate

Special ability - Elegance (when not wearing any armor, Jarlaxle will gain incredible reaction speed, thereby greatly improving his dodge ability)
Jarlaxle possesses all the dark elf's natural abilities and innate spell resistance.
In addition to the above, Jarlaxle is also equipped with a large number of magic items, including 3 Rings of Protection, 3 Rings of Resistance, 8 Defense Bracers, Illusion Cape, Elf Boots, an eyepatch that can resist charm spells and mind control, and can release
The fireball necklace and even the hat have functions similar to a dimensional bag...

If any one of the three is killed in battle, then one of the other two will inherit all the basic attributes, professional levels and special abilities of the deceased, and enter a state of irrational and violent killing.
If two of the three are killed, the last person will inherit the basic attributes, professional levels and special abilities of the first two, and completely transform into a violent beast that only knows killing. He will not be able to do so until all the enemies in front of him are dead.
Restore sanity]
[To use this card, you need to pay 35 white and 25 black mana points, or 60 general mana points]
[After all three people are killed, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth for thirty days]
Looking at the detailed instructions on the freshly released card in his palm, Zuo Si couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile on his face, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Are we good friends who love and kill each other? Jarlaxle
, Entreri and Drizzt really fit this theme. It's a pity that Drizzt has attracted the attention of several gods and has a good relationship with me, otherwise this card will inevitably become more perfect.
”
"You...what did you just do?"
Xia En VII's eyes sparkled with strong curiosity that could not be suppressed.
There is no way not to be curious!
Although there are many spells in magic that can directly turn people into disappearance, it was the first time he had seen this kind of card that made three living people into a dazzling magic halo.
Especially on the card, there are vivid photos of Jarlaxle, Entreri and Anya.
As for the series of weird text that kept sliding underneath, although the Undead Emperor couldn't understand it, he guessed that it was about introducing the abilities of the three people.
"Ah! Regarding this matter, it happens to be a topic that I want to talk to you in private. If you don't mind, could you please clear the place first? Because this involves my most core secret." Zuo Si proposed with a smile.
request.
Xia En VII immediately chose to agree without even hesitating.
"No problem! You all go out. Epke, you go out first. I will send someone to deliver the reward to you later."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
The leader of the Thieves Guild and the guards, maids, and servants standing around bowed and saluted, and then walked backwards out of the palace gate.
After the last person crossed the threshold, he turned around and closed the door.
At this moment, only Zuo Si, Xia En VII and Davian were left in the huge palace.
"Can we talk now?"
There was a hint of impatience in the undead emperor's tone.
In fact, when fighting Ivicola Sagram's "Sharp Tooth", he discovered that Zuo Si would often shoot some quick-fire and surprisingly powerful spells from the sleeves of his wide robe, many of which he had never seen before.
Saw it.
Before these spells are released, they are just palm-sized cards.
At first, Shane VII simply regarded it as a special magic storage item. It was not until the lava elemental lord rose from the ground that he realized that this was not a magic storage item, but a kind of magic storage item that he had never seen before.
A brand new magic system that I have never heard of before.
Whenever he thought that there was such a magical power in this world, his originally cold heart seemed to be ignited with a raging fire.
Zuo Si did not speak immediately, but put away the cards in his hand, took out the [Entangle Talisman] that he originally planned to use from the card library, showed it to the other party for a look, and then chose to pay the corresponding fee. Instantly!
A cold and dense black mist appeared out of thin air and spread to all directions at an extremely fast speed.
However, this black mist full of negative energy came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in just a few seconds.
When all the black mist disappeared, a dracolich, a vampire, a mind flayer lich, and four ordinary legendary lichs stood neatly in the center of the hall.
Entangled Talisman?!!!
Xia En VII suddenly stood up from the throne, his face full of shock and disbelief.
But just a second later, a scene that made him even more incomprehensible appeared.
I saw all the talisman masters, including Koragon, kneeling on the ground in the most respectful and humble posture, performing a prostration ceremony, and saying in unison: "Great master, your servants are waiting for your orders.
."
"So...this is your ability? Your biggest secret?"
Xia En VII seemed to understand something, and his two eyes burst out with a terrifying red light symbolizing death.
Since the current body was entirely created through a certain legendary necromantic magic, his essence is still a demi-lich hidden in the body. This kind of energy overflow will only occur when there are violent mood swings. Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. In addition to the common professions in Faerûn, such as mage, priest, mystic, and archmage, I am also a planeswalker. I can freely move between different planes, crystal walls, and even the universe.
Shuttle between.
Unless it is some specific artifact, it is not subject to any form of restriction.
This is also the greatest capital I can use to trade equally with the gods.
On the one hand, I have what they desire;
On the other hand, they can't do anything to me. At least if they can't kill me with one hit, I can teleport to a place they don't know about and have no way to reach at any time.
As for the special profession of planeswalker, you can understand it as an alternative spellcaster who travels in different worlds and collects various knowledge, technologies and resources.
Our power comes from something called a spark.
It only exists in the bodies of a very small number of people, and it is said that only one in every ten million people will be born.
And these people with sleeping sparks will not be aware of this power most of the time, but will spend their lives mediocrely as ordinary people.
But there are a very few lucky ones who will ignite the dormant spark when they encounter danger and severe pain, and become a novice planeswalker."
Speaking of this, Zuo Si paused deliberately and lit up the spark on his chest, instantly emitting a beautiful and mysterious halo.
"This is the spark?!"
Xia En VII's whole body was trembling slightly with excitement and excitement.
Although he didn't know how long he had been dead, he still felt the long-lost throbbing at this moment, as if thousands of worlds were before him.
"Yes, this is the spark."
Zuo Si answered directly in the affirmative, and continued in a deliberately inflammatory and seductive tone: "For any planeswalker, sparks are the most important thing, even more than life and soul. But interesting
The strange thing is that although the spark can only be ignited by the person, it is not bound to the body or even the soul. This means...it can actually be taken away..."
As he blurted out these words, Shane VII instantly burst out with amazing magical energy from his body, even shattering several mirrors and expensive porcelain on the spot.
If those guards, maids and servants are still standing in the hall right now, their souls will be extracted in minutes and then captured into the demilich's soul gem.
Fortunately!
Xia En VII quickly noticed his gaffe, quickly restrained his momentum and tried in an extremely cautious tone: "Why? Why are you telling me this? In other words, what do I need to pay to get a spark from you?" "The reason is simple! I need a trustworthy and powerful ally, and you have been included in the investigation. In fact, I am planning to go to other worlds recently to find a less powerful novice brigade.
Mage, then defeat it and take away the spark in its body."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and stated his intentions openly.
Since he had already made up his mind to assassinate the old dragon Nicol Bolas in the War of the Spark, he had some real helpers instead of Jace Beleren or Liliana who could betray him at any time. "What about the price? What's the price?" Xia En VII clenched his fist nervously.
"The price is that the moment you get the spark and become a planeswalker, you must leave Toril forever and never come back.
Because it is enough for me to have one planeswalker in this plane, and no second one will be allowed to appear.
In addition, the most important thing is that your phylactery must be kept by me.
Of course, this is just to ensure that you will fulfill your promise when I need help.
When you don’t need help, you can still freely explore the endless world and find the knowledge and technology you are interested in."
Zuo Si calmly laid out a series of conditions.
After all, capturing a spark is not an easy task, and the risks he has to take are far greater than directly confronting a god.
Xia En VII lowered his head and fell into deep thought. The flickering light in his eyes revealed the fierce struggle in his heart.
For a lich, handing over the phylactery means completely handing over your life to another person, which is completely unacceptable.
But the power possessed by the planeswalker's spark is also what he dreams of.
When the two are placed on the scale at the same time, the intense mental tearing can simply drive a lich crazy.
But the Undead Emperor is the Undead Emperor after all. After ten minutes of struggle, he finally slowly raised his head and said in a decisive tone: "Deal! But you have to give me some time to conquer Calimshan first.
and Tethyr to restore the glory of the Shane Empire."
"No problem. When the time comes, we will hand over the money and deliver the goods. In addition, I am very honored to be your guide on the journey of becoming a planeswalker."
Saying that, Zuo Si stretched out his right hand.
"I am also honored to be recognized by you and become your closest ally."
