A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"No! It's not as simple as bandits and monsters! I found an altar dedicated to Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and it was obvious that sacrificial activities had been held recently. Judging from the footprints on the ground, there were at least dozens of people."

Jaheira told what she saw.

As a member of the Harper Alliance, she has a considerable understanding of the evil organizations operating along the west coast of Ferenc, or the churches of evil gods.

In particular, Talona Church, which would immediately spread plague as revenge whenever its missionaries were expelled, has always been the target of many Good God Churches and Harpers.

After all, the plague is no ordinary conspiracy. Once it spreads, at least a thousand people will die.

This is why, except for places like Neverwinter where the lord is a follower of Tyr, the god of justice, most other cities dare not easily expel Pastor Talona to preach.

Similarly, when Zuo Si heard the name of the goddess of poison and disease, he immediately recalled the warning from the God of Suffering. His face suddenly became solemn, and he narrowed his eyes and asked: "Why do Talona's followers do this in Tai?" Gathered in the ruins of Seerburg? Did they have a secret stronghold here before, or did they gather suddenly?"

"The altar looks very new. It should have been set up not long ago. Do you know something?" A trace of suspicion flashed in Jaheira's eyes.

"If nothing else happens, these followers of Talona should be here to find me."

Zuo Si didn't try to hide anything and told the truth openly.

Because he was not the only one who knew about this, there was also the paladin lady who believed in Ilmat, the god of suffering.

The latter's honest character of answering all questions would not keep secrets for him.

"Looking for you? Why? Is the Church of the Goddess of Poison and Disease also participating in the fight for that box?"

A series of guesses flashed through Jaheira's mind.

Perhaps because she has been a member of the Harper Alliance for a long time, she has obviously become a bit of a conspiracy theorist.

Zuo Si shook his head gently: "No! Of course not! Didn't I just say that their target is me, not the box. Regarding this matter, you can ask Ailuolin. She should know better than I have more.”

"Aroline?"

Jaheira turned around and glanced at the young girl not far away who was helping distribute food to the slaves, and frowned subconsciously.

From this reaction, it is easy to see that as a druid and harpist, she cannot get along well with the rigid and inflexible paladin.

After all, the Druid's concept of maintaining the balance of all things itself is in irreconcilable conflict with the absolute order pursued by the Paladins.

In addition, the Harpers' unscrupulous approach to fighting evil is also quite unpopular with the paladins.

So along the way, the two of them didn't have much communication at all, and they just barely knew each other's names.

"That's right! When the caravan was just about to leave Calimport, Aerolin conveyed to me the warning from Ilmat, the God of Suffering, saying that Talona and her followers were looking for me."

After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the reactions of Jahira and Khalid and walked straight towards the ruins covered with weeds and vines.

With the werewolf girl's excellent sense of smell and tracking skills, he easily found the location of the altar.

On the wall of the ruins, a purple triangle emblem hung, with three amber tears on the emblem.

no doubt!

This is the holy symbol of Talona, ​​the Faerûn goddess of poison and disease.

She was originally a subordinate god of Baal, the god of murder, just like Lauvita, the goddess of pain and torture.

However, since the death of all three gods of death in the Year of Turmoil, both goddesses have some intention of defecting to Shar, the goddess of the night.

Zuo Si raised his hand and touched the holy symbol lightly, and immediately felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

fortunately!

He reacted quickly enough and retracted his hand instantly.

"Master, are you okay?"

Davian, who had transformed from an elite veteran to a dragonborn knight, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

You don't need to ask to know that this name was chosen by Zuo Si recently in order to distinguish him from the newly summoned long-range shooter Huntington.

As for his original name, it has long been forgotten. I am afraid that only the owner of the "legacy" knows it.

In fact, most creature cards obtained through card drawing, especially intelligent creatures, basically have no names.

It's like when Zuo Si made those orcs, trolls, ogres, half-giants, and snake wizards into biological cards, he didn't care at all what they were called, let alone wasted effort to keep them worthless. memory.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I was just shocked. Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and the Church of Cyric are still pursuing her. It seems that tonight may not be too peaceful." Zuo Si's eyes Shining with a chilling light.

"You mean... there will be a fight?"

The half-orc Rhett, who finally put on the red dragon armor he had dreamed of, gently touched the frost mithril battle ax he had just obtained in his hand, grinning with a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.

Now he is eager to find a powerful opponent to test how powerful his powerful magic equipment is.

“Not necessarily, but I think it’s very likely.

Don’t forget, the caravan wasted four whole days in Mylatma.

It was the third day after we left when Calimport started spreading gossip.

Counting time, those madmen who believe in the dark sun should catch up.

The reason why they didn't take action immediately.

Either because there are no suitable opportunities in the city;

Either they were frightened by the chaotic magic storm I created outside Mailatma City, and they are contacting and waiting for more allies to arrive before taking action together.

No matter which reason it is, it means that this battle will not be easy.

After all, these guys are not ignorant, stupid and ignorant monsters, but human beings with wisdom like us, and maybe a considerable number of priests. "

Zuo Si touched his chin and analyzed meaningfully.

After all, Cyric is also a powerful god.

Although the management of his church is extremely chaotic, there are many factions within it, and poisoning, assassination, and obstruction of each other happen almost every day.

But none of this means that the quality of church members is poor.

Just the opposite!

Almost all of those who survive this extreme "involution" are "talented".

In addition, people in the chaotic evil camp basically have no moral integrity or bottom line, and they do whatever they want to be despicable and insidious.

If you are not careful, you may end up capsizing.

"It doesn't matter!" Alena shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, just burn all the enemies you see."

Zuo Si glared at his entourage and warned directly: "Be careful! Don't set the valuable goods on the carriage on fire. Otherwise, even if you arrive safely in Ascatla, you won't be able to drink. By the way. , your spellcasting level was improved during Mylatma, right?"

"That's right! I am now a LV8 warlock, and I have also learned a fourth-ring spell."

Alena replied in the affirmative with a proud look on her face.

However, Zuo Si did not show any happy expression when he heard the news. Instead, he continued to ask: "Isn't the fourth-ring spell you learned the [Fire Wall Spell]?"

"How did you guess that?"

Alena blinked in surprise.

"You still need to guess?" Zuo Si rolled his eyes directly. "Open your own spell list and take a good look. Except for the first-level [Magic Missile] and the second-level [Invisibility], which one is not the plastic fire magic. Anyone who is not a fool knows that every time you upgrade , there is almost a 90% probability that you will get a new fire spell."

Poof!

Orc Rhett couldn't help laughing.

Alaina herself was completely speechless...
