The highest peak near the Xingxuan Mountains extends into the sea peninsula. It has been built day and night by dwarves and many monster workers, forming a huge and intricate underground network built inside the mountain.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is the nest that Wilmes built specifically for himself, an urban community that can accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Near the deepest part of the mountain, there is an opening that leads directly to the skylight on the top of the mountain. Below is a lake filled with red-hot magma.
Above the lava lake is a solid black fortress made entirely of steel.
In addition to storing a large amount of gold and silver treasures and precious magic items, this fortress also houses the previous Dragon King, Balagas "Flying Flame".
The young brown dragon Ortagos and the black dragon Oroxes under Wilmes are currently responsible for the security of the steel fortress. Any fool who tries to break in or even get close may be bitten to death and devoured mercilessly. Especially the black dragon, which will corrode the body with acid first, then leave it there until it starts to rot and deteriorate, and then swallow it with a look of enjoyment.
Recently, many goblins and orcs who are clumsy and even confused about their situation have become food for the dragon.
As one of the first dwarf clan leaders to seek refuge in Wilmes, Todak Haudekh is obviously much smarter than those monsters and barbarian chiefs who are ambitious to expand their power and gain greater power.
He knows very well that in serving a terrifying creature like the evil dragon, the most important thing is never to make great achievements, but to ensure that he never makes a mistake.
In this way, the dwarves can continue to grow and develop under the protection of the other party's powerful force.
Even if one day Wilmes is killed by God's chosen ones or adventurers or dragon-slaying warriors, his clan can take the opportunity to drive out other races and monopolize this huge underground city and the amazing property left by the Red Dragon Queen.
.
Of course, as long as Wilmes is alive for one day, Todak Haudeheck will never commit even the slightest act of betrayal.
Because there is no difference between that and seeking death.
At the moment, he is taking his clan members and some other conquered dwarf tribes, and is working hard to throw a large amount of mined iron ore into the lava forge to melt it into molten iron, and then use it to make weapons and armor, and equip those who are...
The monsters and barbarian army that came to take refuge.
Obviously, looking at this posture, we know that Wilmes must be preparing to conquer the entire Star Swirl Mountains, and then invade the vast Wildas Forest in the north, which is ruled by elves.
Todak Haudehek is not too worried about the coming war.
After all, today's elves are no longer the powerful race that controlled the hegemony of the continent during the Crown War thousands of years ago, but a group of marginal races barely surviving in front of the sons of the new era - humans.
Perhaps the elves on Evermeet Island still possess powerful magic and military power.
But those elves who live scattered on the continent of Faerûn usually have only two choices when faced with the overwhelming numerical advantage and fierce attacks of humans.
One is to withdraw to Everjum Island and give up the homeland where he has lived for generations, and the other is to fight to the end and be exterminated, or even more miserable to be reduced to a plaything and a slave.
This kind of thing has happened more than once in the three countries on the south coast of the west coast, Amn, Tethyr and Kalimshan.
Among them, Kalingshan has done the most thorough job. There are no independent elf villages in the wild anymore, and only a small number of elf and half-elf families have been integrated into the city, or simply exist as slaves.
Amn is similar. There are basically no large elves gathering there. Only a few wild elven tribes still live a primitive life of fishing, hunting and semi-nomadic herding in the inaccessible forest.
Only due to the sudden outbreak of civil strife in Tethyr, the policy of encircling and suppressing the elves could not be carried out forever, resulting in the temporary prosperity of the elven kingdom in the Wildas Forest.
Of course, this "prosperity" is only relative.
Todak Haudekh believes that as long as the new Red Dragon Queen and her army of monsters are fully armed, crushing tens of thousands of elves will be as easy as eating and drinking.
As for the Star Swirl Mountains, even Balagas' "Flying Flame" can easily control it, let alone Wilmes who defeated him.
Just when the dwarf leader was imagining a bright future, a huge black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, flapping its wings and bringing up strong airflow. Many dwarves who were working were blown away and couldn't open their eyes.
After a while, the huge Purgatory Red Dragon fell from the sky and landed steadily on the specially built flying platform.
Todak Haudeheck didn't dare to be negligent for even a second, and quickly rushed forward with his short legs and knelt down on the ground.
"Supreme and great queen! Your servants are here to serve."
"Nothing happened while I was away, right?"
Wilmes looked around with two eyes that looked like dark jade.
The dwarf clan leader quickly shook his head: "No! Everything is normal.
Except for those stupid orcs and goblins who still like to run around as always, the other tribes have been placed in designated locations to work according to your instructions.
Moreover, the production of armor and weapons has also begun, and you should soon be able to arm an invincible army.
In addition, when mining the ore veins, we also dug out some gemstones and smelted a small amount of gold and silver nuggets, all of which have been sent to your treasury."
After hearing these words, Wilmes nodded with satisfaction: "You have done a very good job. Now, I authorize you to manage all the dwarf tribes and be responsible for the daily operation of this underground city. Remember, don't let me down.
Don’t let me down if you trust me.”
"Understood! Please rest assured that I will do my best to meet all your requirements."
Todak Haudeheck was instantly ecstatic and immediately made another bowing ceremony.
He was busy making his people work hard to produce and build, just for this moment.
With this authorization, dwarves can achieve a status far superior to other races and receive more resources.
But what Todak Haudekh didn't know was that all his thoughts were read by the strange object this time and informed to Wilmes.
After the latter noticed the inner calculation of this seemingly loyal guy, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth with a meaningful smile, and then turned around and entered the steel fortress exuding scalding heat.
As soon as he stepped through the eerie door, a roar containing anger and unwillingness echoed in the corridor, accompanied by violent impacts and tremors.
You don't need to ask to know that this sound must have been made by Balagas "Flying Flame" who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
Ever since he was seriously injured and imprisoned, he has been in a state of extreme mental instability, and banging his head on the door is a normal operation.
But fortunately, this situation only lasted for a few seconds before it became quiet again.
Wilmes ignored these insignificant noises and walked straight to the deepest dungeon of the Steel Fortress while maintaining his dragon form.
Her appearance immediately aroused the idea of Ashmi, the female moon elf mage.
The latter was obviously relieved and quickly put down what he was doing. He put his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are finally back."
"What, is this guy still as irritable as before?"
Wilmes asked, while looking inside through the iron window of the heavy metal door, and saw that Balagas "Flying Flame" was tightly bound by a huge magic circle and a chain exuding magic runes, constantly slipping from between his teeth.
And spitting out deadly red flames from its mouth.
There is no doubt that the former overlord did not give in, but whenever he got the chance, he wanted to try to melt the steel gate and rush out to regain his freedom.
But unfortunately, due to the constant bleeding, he was too weak, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to break free from the magic chain.
As for the flame breath, which is the best, it can't exert the same power as before.
Ashmi sighed slightly and explained: "You should know that Balagas is not a normal dragon, but has serious mental and psychological diseases.
He sleeps very little, or to be precise, he barely rests at all, as if he has endless energy.
This means that we must always be careful, otherwise once an opportunity or loophole is seized, he may escape from this huge prison.
I suggest you find a way to solve the problem once and for all.
If it doesn’t work, just kill him.”
Wilmes responded with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already obtained something from Soth, which can completely turn this guy into an obedient slave."
"Oh? What is it?"
Ashmi's eyes shone slightly, revealing surprise and curiosity.
She wanted to know what kind of method Zuo Si would use to force a proud, arrogant, ancient red dragon like Balagas, who would never bow his head, to surrender.
"Hehe! You will know it soon. Now, help me strengthen the binding force of the magic circle and the chain to ensure that this guy no longer has the slightest ability to resist."
After that, Wilmes signaled to the jailer to open the cage, then he pushed open the heavy iron door and walked in.
Seeing her huge figure, who was struggling wildly just a second ago, the roaring Balagas immediately became quiet, with strong resentment in his pupils, and asked through gritted teeth: "What do you want to do? Come and kill me?"
”
"Kill you? No, no, no, that would be such a waste. I will turn you into a servant who is loyal to me." Wilmes raised his chin slightly and announced in a condescending tone.
"Hahahaha! Are you daydreaming? Who do you think I am? I am Feiyan! The greatest red dragon in the world! I will never bow to anyone! Let alone become your servant!"
p>
Balagas burst out laughing maniacally.
There is no doubt that although he does not want to die, he is never afraid of death, which can be seen from his wild fighting style.
In other words, almost every red dragon that can live to the age of the ancients has experienced hundreds of battles.
Fighting and death have long become instincts engraved in their bones.
When pushed into a corner, the red dragon never minds hurting both sides or dying together.
This is also the reason why they can become the leaders of the five-color evil dragons.
Even if the golden dragon is slightly superior in overall strength, when it encounters the red dragon of the same age, it will often be killed by the latter to the extreme.
Unfortunately, Balagas was completely unaware of what a gift the other party had prepared for him this time.
Seeing the former dragon king yelling crazily, Wilmes, instead of being angry, couldn't help but smile and sigh: "What a familiar scene.
I remember that when I first met Soth, I was as arrogant as you are now.
But as time goes by, I gradually understand that in the face of truly powerful power, the so-called dignity and pride are not worth mentioning.
Most importantly, do you think I'm asking for your opinion?
No!
I'm just informing you.
It is not up to you to become my servant."
With the last word blurted out, Wilmes slowly took out the jar containing the rare items.
When he saw the tentacle monster inside that had swelled to an astonishing size, Balagas's face suddenly changed, and he screamed in horror: "...Mind Flayer? Get away! Get that thing away from me.
Stay away!"
"Sorry, it's late. It may hurt a little later, please be patient. Trust me, this process won't be long, and the pain is only temporary."
Wilmes grinned with a sinister and evil smile, and copied and pasted exactly what Zuo Si said to him back then.
No hesitation!
She directly broke the jar, roughly pulled the strange object out, and then threw it into the face of Balagas "Flying Flame".
The strange object is no nonsense, waving its thick tentacles to activate psychic powers, opening the opponent's fragile and sensitive nostrils alive, and forcefully squeezing the soft body in.
This process is undoubtedly very painful and terrifying.
So much so that Balagas began to struggle and resist like crazy, trying to burn this terrifying creature that was about to invade his brain to death through his breath of flames.
But unfortunately, Ashmi was already prepared and quickly maximized the binding power of the magic circle and chains, making him lie on the ground unable to move. He could only let out a painful groan from between his teeth.
The two lava-like eyes are full of despair for the upcoming tragic fate.
Because anyone with a little bit of common sense knows what it means to have your brain eaten and replaced by a creature like the Mind Flayer.
That was not physical death in the ordinary sense, nor was it simply the destruction of the brain.
Rather, it is an all-round obliteration from spirit to consciousness, from body to soul.
Although Balagas didn't know exactly what the huge Mind Flayer-like creature in front of him was and how it was created, he could clearly feel the psychic powers emanating from the sticky tentacles.
p>
The closer it is to the cranial cavity, the more susceptible the brain is to interference.
It even clearly sends a certain signal to the body, but it cannot be transmitted at all.
In addition, the torture caused by the fragile nasal mucosa being forcibly stretched open and torn also caused him to tremble violently uncontrollably.
After about several minutes, when the strange object completely entered the connection between the brain and the spine, and inserted its tentacles deeply into the nerve center to complete the control of the body, the struggle of Balagas' "Flying Flame" completely stopped.
p>
"Done?"
The female moon elf mage asked in an uncertain tone.
Wilmes smiled and replied: "Ah! It's done! Let him go! From now on, he will be our most loyal ally and servant."
Ashmi was obviously a little hesitant, and first cautiously let go of the magic circle.
Seeing that Balagas' "Flying Flame" did not rise up to attack, she finally released the magic chains wrapped around her body.
After all the restraints were gone, the ancient red dragon stood up and moved its body a little under the nervous gaze of several pairs of eyes.
Just when everyone around him felt very uneasy, Wilmes suddenly issued a series of orders without warning.
"Lie down!"
"Get down!"
"Roll!"
"Handshake!"
……
In the blink of an eye, Balagas' "Flying Flame", which was exuding a strong aura and intimidation just now, transformed into a husky.
Especially the action of sticking out the tongue is no different from that of a pet dog, and my jaw dropped in shock.
The brown dragon Otagos and the black dragon Oroxes, who had been tortured and abused by Balagas, repeatedly rubbed their eyes with their paws to confirm that they were not hallucinating.
After all, in their impression, the former master was an out-and-out cruel king, and not even the demons in the bottomless abyss could compare with him.
But now, the entire dragon's painting style has become inappropriate, even making people laugh.
"Well - what a good dog!"
Wilmes raised his left front paw and patted Balagas on the head. The action was no different from a human stroking a dog's head.
At this moment, she was extremely lucky that there were no other witnesses around when she did these actions. Otherwise, if she were like Balagas, she would be completely dead in the dragon circle.
Ashmi stared at this scene with wide eyes in shock. After a full minute, she carefully probed: "That mind flayer-like creature just swallowed and replaced his brain?"
"No! The strange object only temporarily severed the connection between the brain and spinal nerves.
Balagos is still alive and can hear and see everything happening around him, but he cannot control his body.
How about it, it’s a great creation and invention, isn’t it?
You must know that this is a gadget that Soth successfully made when he was still an apprentice, but it can make a ferocious ancient red dragon unable to resist.
It's a pity that he only made this one, otherwise we could easily control hundreds of dragons to form a legion.
It’s like a doomsday scene that blocks out the sky and the sun under the influence of Dragon Madness.”
When he said these words, Wilmes showed an expression of expectation and yearning.
As a teenager, she was once influenced by King Killer to join a dragon parade, and was deeply impressed by the destruction that dozens or even hundreds of dragons could cause when they gathered together to attack a town.
p>
If it weren't for those damn pointed-eared elves who secretly hid in the dark and stabbed the dragon with the dragon madness during the war between giants and dragons in ancient times, where would the world of Toril have been ruled by mortals?
You must know that in the eyes of the dragons, the elves who have just arrived in this world are actually no different from humans. They are all like "two-legged sheep".
At that time, the sun elf princes had to offer rare and rare moon elf "human sacrifices" to the "Lord of the Mountains", a powerful advanced dragon, in exchange for short-term peace.
At that time, there were only a few dozen sun elves in the entire Faerûn continent, and there was only one moon elf this time.
Although these guys later succeeded in killing the "Lord of the Mountains" by summoning the power of the ooze god Ghaunadaur through conspiracy and trickery, we can also feel how powerful the dragon was at that time.
So this is why dragons from the evil camp, whether they are red dragons or green dragons, especially like to eat elves.
The hatred between the two races is so deep that it cannot be resolved completely.
Although the elves in Faerûn currently always pretend to be pure, kind, and innocent, and often appear as victims, in fact they have done so many immoral things in the past that they are too numerous to count.<
/p>
Especially things like the Dragon Mad Lock are still causing huge killings, destruction and death.
Thinking of this, Wilmes glanced at Ashmi with a creepy look, and the latter suddenly shivered with fright.
But fortunately, she knew that this month's elf mage was not an elf in the general sense. From the moment he fell into the evil camp, he was no longer protected by the elf gods. Now he should be on her side, so she suppressed
The strong desire for killing and revenge in his heart.
After a brief silence, Wilmes immediately spoke to the strange object again and said: "Allow Balagas to speak."
"As you wish!"
The strange object instantly let go of its control, allowing the ancient red dragon under its control to temporarily gain control of its mouth and throat.
The next second...
Balagas roared angrily: "Damn bastard! What did you do to me? That monster can actually forcibly control my body!"
"Hehehe, didn't I tell you just now?
From now on, you are my most loyal servant.
Remember, the strange thing that got into your brain just now can read your thoughts and memories at any time and cut off your control over any part of your body.
This means that whenever you have the slightest thought that you shouldn’t have, it will instantly sense it and make you unable to do anything.
The only thing you can do now is kneel down and swear allegiance to me, and become a good dog that obeys my orders.
Otherwise you can never hope to regain control of your body.
And my patience is not unlimited.
If you still refuse to bow your head, then I will let it eat your brain and replace it.
It just so happens that Soth also wants a brain-stealing dragon."
The corners of Wilmes' mouth rose sharply, revealing a devilish smile.
I don’t know if it’s because of her purgatory bloodline, but she is increasingly able to feel the happiness and satisfaction that Zuo Si brings to him by threatening, manipulating, and controlling other people’s psychology.
As soon as he heard the three words "brain-stealing dragon", Balagas's heart instantly surged with uncontrollable intense fear.
As an ancient red dragon, he is not as ignorant as ordinary adult dragons. He knows that this kind of creature can be called taboo even among the mind flayers.
Generally speaking, there are two situations of brain-stealing dragons.
One is that the dragon's brain is swallowed up by the mind flayer tadpole and completely replaces it, and the other is that the power of the mind flayer tadpole fails to completely swallow up the dragon's brain, and in turn is swallowed up by the dragon's consciousness, even completing a certain task.
fusion.
No matter which one it is, it means that its life form has undergone fundamental changes.
What's more, the strange object that just entered his skull was so huge that it could 100% swallow up the entire brain and replace it.
So after a fierce ideological struggle, Balagas finally abandoned his dignity and pride as a dragon king, lowered his head to the female red dragon in purgatory in front of him, and slowly uttered a few words from his mouth: "From
From today on, you are my master, and I am your most loyal servant."
"Hahahaha! Very good! Very good!"
Wilmes let out a burst of unbridled laughter, and suddenly spread his wings to radiate his dragon power.
Her action immediately triggered a chain reaction.
Whether it was the young brown dragons and black dragons on the side, or Ashmi and other jailers in the dungeon, they all knelt on the ground to express their surrender to the powerful red dragon queen.
Because they understand that with the gold medal fighter of Balagas "Flying Flame", no dragon in the entire west coast and southern region can compete with it, even those golden dragons and silver dragons who like to stick together are no exception.
p>
After all, these are two powerful dragon kings, and the combined lethality is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
After feeling proud for a while, Wilmes then said to himself: "Baragas, I have an important task for you to handle now.
Immediately fly to the border area of Kalimshan and Tethyr to try the quality of the sons of Baal.
Then turn around and go to the Wildas Forest to awaken the fear of those elves in you.
Never expose the relationship between us, you have to do it all in your own name."
"Understood!"
The ancient red dragon nodded slightly, and then recovered from its injuries under the treatment of several priests. Finally, it flapped its wings and left the depths of the underground through the huge skylight above its head, disappearing into a white cloud.
Although he didn't quite know what the intentions of these orders issued by Wilmes were, he could vaguely sense that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind them.
Especially the name Soth that appeared in his ears several times reminded Balagas a lot.
But unfortunately, he realized it too late, and now there is no chance of a comeback.
……
At the same time, far away in the cold mountains of the North, the brass dragon Kurremos, who is the "brother of filial sons", finally began to implement his plan.
Compared to Wilmes who simply and rudely solves everything through fighting, he obviously has more tricks and is more covert.
In order to cause a conflict between the Harper and Scarlaus, this guy deliberately led two thieves to steal an egg just laid by a silver dragon, and then presented it to the old dragon in exchange for a generous reward.
As everyone knows, the Silver Dragon is the dragon that likes to shake people up and launch righteous gang fights, no one else.
After realizing that his egg fell into Klaus's hands, the silver dragon immediately became extremely furious. He quickly called his friends to summon a golden dragon, a silver dragon and a dozen Harpers members, planning to rush in.
Go to the former's lair to snatch the dragon eggs back.
As a result, the two sides encountered each other and a battle broke out in the narrow valley in the mountains east of Miraba.
Normally speaking, the three dragons plus a dozen experienced Harper members should be a sure winner no matter how you look at it.
Unfortunately, Klaus is not alone, but has a large number of subordinates near the lair.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He directly summoned the fire giant and some other monsters to come to help.
After a while, one of the three metal dragons was killed and two were seriously injured. Only one member of the Harper Alliance escaped alive, and the rest were slaughtered and captured.
Seeing the two metal dragons from the good camp being dragged into the cave, and the dead one being skinned and cramped, an extremely evil smile appeared on Kurremos's face, and he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
: "That's right...that's right...that's it!
If there are alive prisoners, the Harper Alliance and those kind-hearted metal dragons will definitely come to rescue them.
The more people come, the more casualties there will naturally be.
When you fight until both sides are injured, I will take action and kill everyone.
Dear Castellanfillian, will you and your fellow Talons of Justice step in as well?
It would be great if I could turn you into my trophy this time."
"Master...Master, I heard that Elminster is in the Northland now. What if he comes?"
A man dressed as a mage next to him lowered his head and asked cautiously.
There is no doubt that he was frightened by the evil level of the brass dragon with legendary spellcasting ability in front of him.
After all, in the cold Northland, the Harper Alliance can almost be regarded as one of the most powerful and least provoking forces.
Especially the Chosen Goddess of Magic standing behind her, she is simply the nemesis of all arcane spellcasters.
Kurremos glanced at his timid men and responded with a contemptuous smile: "What are you afraid of? Even if Elminster comes, it will be Klaus who has to deal with it. What does it have to do with us? Not to mention you.
How do you know I can't beat him?"
"What I mean is... do you think we should find more allies to help, or support other forces to cause some trouble for the Harpers."
The mage quickly expressed his thoughts.
He doesn't want to be regarded as useless by this cunning and scheming new master, otherwise he will most likely die "accidentally" during a mission like his predecessor.
"Hmm - sounds like a good idea.
Why don't you contact those guys from the Dragon Worship Cult and ask them to find an opportunity to make some noise?
As long as this can be achieved, it doesn't matter if you promise more benefits.
Anyway, I had no intention of fulfilling my promise, let alone that they would survive."
Kurremos touched it with a cold expression.
In terms of deceiving people, he never has any psychological burden.
What's more, the Dragon Worship Sect and Zuo Si still have some grudges.
You can flatter your boss, cause trouble for your enemies, and muddy the waters, killing three birds with one stone. If you don't do it, you'd be sorry for yourself.
"As you wish, my master."
The mage quickly bowed deeply, then cast teleportation magic and disappeared.
As soon as he left, Xi Manmeng, the head of the Zhentarim Dark Intelligence Network, appeared on the back foot and asked in a slightly playful tone: "How is your plan going?"
"Not bad. So far, everything is going well. What, are you in trouble and need my help?" Kurremos asked with a half-smile.
Obviously, since they are both Neutral Evil and Old Yin Bi, they can be said to have the same chemistry and have maintained a good relationship.
Especially in the aspect of intelligence sharing, the Shuoyou mobile terminal has almost achieved the ultimate.
This is also the reason why the Harper fell into the trap and was plotted.
Although they also have a very good intelligence network, they are still far behind their opponents who can communicate in real time.
Xi Manmeng shook his head gently: "No, everything is going well here.
Especially after Zhentil Keep successfully captured Baldur's Gate, my mission was basically completed, and the rest was just a play.
Compared to this matter, I am more concerned about the movements of the Harper Alliance's top leaders.
You must know that they have suffered heavy losses recently and have been in a state of strategic contraction.
Based on my understanding of the Harper Alliance, they must be planning something and need to pay more attention to it."
"Oh? Have you heard anything?" Kurremos narrowed his eyes and asked.
"As far as I know, Elminster, Storm Silverhand and some senior Harpers appeared in Longsaddle Town not long ago, and it seemed to be holding some kind of meeting. But my spies didn't dare to get close, for fear of being recognized.
”
Xi Manmeng first shared his information.
For him, this information itself has no special value, as long as it can achieve the ultimate goal.
What is the current goal of the Zhentarim?
The answer is obvious, that is to use all means to attack the forces of the Harper Alliance.
This is not only in the interest of the organization itself, but also satisfies Zuo Si and Fuzuoer Qianberry.
"Long'an Town? Hubbell Family?"
Kurremos fell into deep thought for a moment.
As a master of intrigues and intrigues, it is naturally impossible for him not to pay attention to the situation in the North.
Although Chang'an Town, with only more than 130 residents, is basically insignificant among the many towns in the North, its trade volume is even more alarmingly low.
But the wizards of the Hubbell family can be said to be famous.
Whether you like them or hate them, it is impossible to ignore this force that possesses amazing magical power.
However, Kurremos has never heard of any relationship between the Hubbell family and the Harper Alliance.
Maybe it was just a coincidence that they appeared in Chang'an Town?
Just passing by?
Just when the "filial son" was puzzled, another portal opened out of thin air, and then Hared III appeared out of thin air and said bluntly: "I know why they appeared in Chang'an Town." "Who are you?"
Kurremos suddenly showed a vigilant expression, and his fingertips shone with the light of arcane magic.
He had never seen Hared III, and he didn't know that this guy had become Zuo Si's special Noble Phantasm for the Harper Alliance. He thought he was a spy sent by other forces.
However, Ximanmeng obviously knew about this, and immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be nervous, this is Hared III, the former scribe of Elminster, but now he has taken refuge with Lord Soth."<
/p>
Hearing these words, Culremos's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise, and he couldn't believe that his master could poach such an important person away from Elminster.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality and greeted with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Hared III. I hope the information you brought can play a key role. After all, the Harper Alliance is a troublesome one.
Enemies, it is not easy to get rid of them."
"No, you are wrong.
In fact, the Harper Alliance is far less powerful than outsiders imagine.
As long as you can find the rules and patterns of their actions, you can easily nip them in the cradle.
No one in the world knows Elminster and his stupid, stubborn way of thinking better than me.
And I will assist you to completely destroy and disintegrate the entire Harper Alliance.
I want that old immortal guy to feel unparalleled pain!
I want him to wail in despair!"
There is no doubt that if there is anyone in the world who hates Elminster the most, it must be Hared III.
After all, there is a saying that goes like this: as much as we hate, we love as deeply.
The more you like a person and admire a person, the stronger the hatred will be when your thoughts are reversed.
Today's Hared III is like a man who has been driven crazy by strong stimulation. All he can think about is how to destroy Elminster.
Xi Manmeng caught this keenly, and immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said: "I think we may need to find a safe place where no one is around to have a good talk."
"I totally agree!"
Kurremus echoed without thinking.
The scheming man obviously noticed the other party's abnormal emotions, and the evil fire in his heart was instantly ignited.
In the eyes of these two old yinbi, Hared III is undoubtedly like a poor guy with distorted mind and cognition. He is the most interesting toy, bar none.
And they also want to find out what Zuo Si did in the first place to turn the clerk of Elminster into what he is now.
"Then come with me! I set up a safe house in Mirabar and recruited many thieves, adventurers and mercenaries to monitor the activities of the Harper Alliance."
After saying that, Hared III turned around and led the way towards the city below the valley.
Since the distance was not far, he did not use teleportation magic or flying magic.
Kurremos and Ximanmeng exchanged a look and quickly followed.
Poor Harid III has not realized that he has been a pawn from the beginning.
Not only can Zuo Si manipulate him at will, but so can Kurremos and Ximanmeng.
In fact, his greatest use has never been to provide any useful advice, let alone how many times he can sabotage the Harper Alliance's operations and how many casualties he has caused.
Rather, it is the psychological and spiritual impact its existence itself has had on Elminster.
If one day Elminster is forced to kill Hared III with his own hands, he will definitely leave a huge wound in his soul that cannot be healed.
This is the evil purpose Zuo Si really wants to achieve...
