"A large number of suspicious spellcasters using the Shadow Weave appear in the Eno Oak Desert?
No matter how you look at it, this should be the action of Yinhun City, or one of the twin goddesses living in the shadow plane.
But the question is what is the goal of Haunted City’s return this time?
In the name of reviving Netheril, occupy the entire desert and then go south to invade the Kingdom of Cormyr?
Or will she cause trouble in the Northland and West Heartland regions to take revenge on me for exposing her attempt to release the Nightmare Serpent Dendel's Explosive Star?"
After receiving Ovo's message, Zuo Si returned to his private room in the Mage Tower alone, staring at a high-precision map of Faerûn hanging on the wall, and marked Enoor with Shar's Holy Emblem and the pattern of a floating city.
Gram desert.
Of course, the map he used for his own use did not just mark this one place, but a dense map of continental power with dozens of different colors and patterns interlaced together.
Each force includes a detailed number of members, scope of activities, potential threat level, and the churches and gods who stand behind them.
Among them, those whose territory is painted in red are generally enemies who have already been identified, or who are likely to become enemies in the future.
White represents neutrality and city-states, countries and forces that are too weak to require much attention.
Green represents allies, blue represents potential allies.
Among them, the Northland basically shows a mixture of blue and green colors.
Because they are all members of the trade alliance, they have been completely penetrated and controlled economically.
Even if there are careerists and leaders who want to leave, the businessmen and people below who have already tasted the benefits will never agree.
But like Cyre ruled by red-robed wizards, as well as the Mulhorand Empire, Unther and Chesen Tower are all crimson to symbolize hostility, and the relationships between the various factions within them are also marked one by one.<
/p>
The area south of the west coast where the Sons of Baal are being harassed is also marked in red, and the heads of the five descendants are placed at their current locations.
The Flame Peak of Chult Jungle is even decorated with a huge skull, indicating that there may be a world-ending crisis here.
There is also one in the Lost Desert, which represents another crystal prison that has not yet been found.
A big question mark has been placed around the Moon Sea controlled by Zhentil Castle, indicating that it is temporarily uncertain whether it will be an enemy or a friend in the future.
After all, the ambitious Fuzoul Chamberry is not someone who would succumb to others.
Just take a look at this map and you will immediately have a clear and intuitive overall understanding of the current situation.
Zuo Si basically relies on it to make various judgments, adjustments, and evaluate the threats he may face next.
Of course, now that the stall is too big, he has more than just a map of Faerûn.
There are also analysis charts of political factions and struggles between the Hell Lords of Baator and the Great Devil;
A table showing the distribution of various forces within the huge cyberpunk city and the wealth and resources they control;
A list of the time and space in which the old dragon Nicol Bolas has planted seeds and harvested or prepared to harvest them;
Investigation and analysis of the interest chain behind the upper class of the West Coast Empire and the extent of power these people currently hold;
There are even several reference books jointly compiled by theologians and scholars dedicated to explaining the teachings of the gods and their relationships with each other.
As a person from the age of the information explosion, Zuo Siyuan pays more attention to intelligence and large-scale data collection than the aborigines of this world.
The latter, in particular, has received unprecedented attention.
He even ordered the Masked Mage Guild to set up a separate department to be responsible for this important work, and gave extremely high treatment to those young mages who performed well, allowing them to enter the library to read transcripts, including notes related to the Netherese scrolls.
valuable knowledge.
Because Zuo Si has always believed that sporadic intelligence may be a smoke bomb deliberately released by the enemy to induce him to make wrong judgments, but the compiled big data is absolutely impossible to lie.
No matter how deeply hidden the conspiracies are, they always require preparations in personnel, materials and other aspects.
And these will be changed and reflected in the data.
If not, it only means that the data collection work is not detailed and comprehensive enough.
There is no doubt that Zuo Si has long been mentally prepared for the return of Ghost City and the revenge of the Goddess of Night, and has also formulated some countermeasures.
After all, Shar is well-known for his vengeance and petty nature. Even if there is no good solution for the time being, he will try his best to create something to deliberately disgust people.
So after offending this goddess, don't expect her to swallow her anger or pretend that nothing happened.
The only question is, if the City of Shadows still goes south to invade the Kingdom of Cormyr according to the original script, can this thousand-year-old feudal country, which has been experiencing internal and external troubles, withstand the remnants of Netheril who possess powerful magical power?
As for changing direction and directly invading the Northland...
Sorry.
The Silver Moon Alliance led by Alustriel alone, and Waterdeep currently led by Kelben and Lyra, can teach each other a good lesson.
Tell them what "adults times have changed" means.
The silver fire of the Chosen of the Goddess of Magic has an immediate suppressing effect on most arcane spellcasters, which is completely like cheating.
It’s impossible to defeat them if their spellcasting levels are not much different.
What's more, there is also Ovo, the great arcanist, and a new floating city guarding the area.
Whenever Telamant Tanshur in the City of Shadows has any inappropriate thoughts, he will be severely beaten in minutes.
You must know that when Ovo became famous and became the Grand Arcanist, Telamante was not even born.
Therefore, after a short period of analysis and thinking, Zuo Si came to a conclusion.
That is, the return of Yinhun City should not pose any threat to you.
Even if Shar, the goddess of the night, is behind the scenes, he still has powerful allies such as Ovo, Alustriel, Kelben and Lyla to warn him from the front. No matter what unexpected situation occurs, he will have sufficient preparation time.

So in the end, we only set a not very high threat level for the changes in the Aino Oak Desert.
Just when Zuo Si was planning to turn his attention to the Kalin Desert in the south, and to transform this desolate area created by the war between the sylphs and the efreets into a prosperous plain through the power of magic, an indescribable feeling came.
The throbbing suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.
Following the originally calm planeswalker spark, suddenly began to flash with a dazzling light, as if it had received some kind of summons.
Almost at the same time, a striking spatial coordinate traveling through the dark void appeared in my mind.
"This is...a cross-time and space beacon? No, no, the cross-time and space beacon shouldn't be so weak, it's more like the Firefly Project without upgrades."
Although it was the first time he had such a feeling, Zuo Si quickly confirmed what was going on like lighting a torch in the dark.
As the name suggests, the so-called "cross-time beacon" is the ancient dragon Niv-Mizzet, the ancestor of the Izzet Alliance in Ravnica time and space. After noticing the ambition of Nicol Bolas, based on his subordinate named Ral.
Zarek's planeswalker ability finally made a backup plan.
It was this plan that attracted countless planeswalkers from across the multiverse after the War of the Spark began, and worked together to crush the old dragon's ambition to restore the powerful power of the ancient planeswalkers.
Normally, this beacon should be triggered in Ravnica.
But now it lights up not in Ravnica, but in another time and space.
Moreover, the brightness of the beacon is far from being as bright and dazzling as described by the genuine "cross-time and space beacon", which is enough to illuminate the entire multiverse through space barriers. It can only be regarded as a small torch at best.
If Zuo Si's Planeswalker Spark wasn't at a high enough level, it wouldn't even be enough to feel its existence.
This can be seen from the fact that Xia En VII and the mastermind have not reacted at all until now.
There is no doubt that the ignition of the cross-time beacon means that some serious crisis has occurred in this time and space that even the planeswalkers cannot solve.
As for what it is, it is still unknown.
Because Zuo Si has never been to the time and space where the beacon is located, and there are no cards related to it in the legacy of the previous planeswalker, especially land cards.
This also means that for him, this world is completely black and white.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go over and take a look, the beacon began to flash violently again, as if to indicate how nervous and anxious the person who activated it was feeling at the moment.
"Well, it seems we can't escape this time."
Zuo Si sighed helplessly, and quickly activated the planeswalker's sparks to pass through the dark void and appear directly in the sky above a huge city.
Different from the overall medieval style scene in Faerûn, this city obviously has very developed technology.
At a glance, there are not only a large number of thousands of meters of spiers piercing the sky, but also a large number of flying vehicles in the sky, as well as vehicles and metal structure machinery using unknown power systems on the ground.
Especially the bridges that stand on both sides of the river bank are shaped like two giant mechanical birds with wings extended opposite each other. The arched platforms set up by the two wings form the bridge deck, and all kinds of strange shops are opened on the wings of the birds.
To be continued...
