Alustriel has long understood that since Mystra changed from black eyes to midnight, she can no longer be the supreme lady who knew everything and could do everything.
But this was the first time she was so confused... In the past, even if her choice was not the most perfect, it would definitely not be the most unsuccessful. No matter how bad it was, she could still guarantee her status and power... But now she is in certain situations.
The key nodes were all chosen incorrectly.
If he hadn't been holding on tightly to the bottom line of the good camp, and hadn't made a big mistake with Kelben because he was favored by the gods, Alustriel felt that he might have died worse than Kelben.
It's still early.
After all, what she can do and pull down many more people than Kelben.
She closed her eyes silently, slowly reviewing everything in the past, and evaluating whether their sisters' participation this time could end it all.
If not...what should she do?
And Kui Lu, their most innocent and pitiable little sister... Her two main gods are inseparable from the magic network, but her identity as a drow means that she has never participated in the journey of destiny.
However, Kuilu was the most innocent of their sisters, very much like Eilistraee who gave her life... Alustriel couldn't let go at all.
Her sisters stood quietly beside her, just like in the past, waiting for the wisest of the sisters to make the final decision.
Even if Alustriel led them down the wrong path, they recognized it... In the past 1,000 years, the seven sisters from the North have been able to live as prosperously as they do now in Faerûn, because no matter what they do
Things and directions are all the same.
Even though they have fought each other to death, they know very well that when Heitong recognizes their identity and allows them to become voters together, the only way for the seven sisters to be united is to unite.
When midnight takes over, they can no longer have any conflicts... That person is actually doing things fairly, but in the past, they lived in favoritism.
Kelben's behavior is actually a normal daily life for voters.
Laila leaned gently against a big tree, with an indifferent expression... Although the sisters have suppressed themselves a lot compared to the past, in fact, they still don't have a thorough understanding of reality.
Until this fateful road begins.
After the hints and silent guidance they got from the magic network completely disappeared, even Alustriel, who had always been calm and composed, was a little panicked... This was the first time that they could not see the way forward at all.
Where.
But what could she say?
All of Alustriel's wrong choices stem from Kelben...and all of this is because of her who pulled Kelben to save her sister in the first place!
Why didn't she go by herself? It's not like she couldn't do it!
Laila thought a little sadly... because she wanted her smart and capable sister to see what a good man she had chosen!
I want Alustriel to know that love is not only the passionate kind, but also the steady flow of single-mindedness is a kind of beauty.
I want Alustriel to know that she, Laila, can still be happy even if she doesn’t live like Alustriel and Black Eyes!
Are you happy?
Over the years, Kelben has indeed given her sincere and passionate love and a carefree life... But... no matter who you are, no matter how calm and self-possessed you are, once ambition inspires greed,
From giving up family ties to giving up love, it only took ten years.
What fate!
Laila sneered... However, with the arrogance of their sisters, how could they look down on a man who was not motivated at all and just wanted to enjoy life?
Life is like this, from one river to another... When you have to brave the wind and rain to enter a river that is bigger than before, or even enter the vast ocean, and the boat is capsized by the violent wind and rain, you can only take a gamble.
Accept defeat.
Alustriel finally opened her eyes. She looked at the sisters surrounding her and said calmly: "We can't go to Aglaia. There are three powerful gods there, and the sight of the gods will never be far away.
One wrong word and we are all doomed!
This time, our goal is not to get any benefits from the road of destiny...but to let the sisters participate as much as possible without affecting Xilen!
You must also remember that you can help those who have soul fragments during life and death, but you must not do more.
Just do what you should do as a Mystra electorate, and never jump in for future benefits just because you think someone has a chance of winning!
We are no different from anyone else now! Noumea may have received more accurate revelations than us!
No one can bear the consequences of choosing the wrong person... If other sisters are killed because of your mistake, which of you can bear the consequences?
This time, if we really die, even if we can be resurrected, the price will not be something we can afford!"
Looking at the sisters who nodded seriously, Alustriel lowered his voice softly: "In the past, before the God of Prophecy returned, the revelation I got from the magic network was... when I didn't know where the road ahead was.
At this time, it is best to wait for the unknown ending in Candlekeep.
Therefore, Candlekeep... will be our only chance."
Her sisters nodded solemnly... By this time, of course they all knew that the only one who could use the power of the magic network to deceive a Mystra chosen one was the God of Prophecy.
Whether it was Kelben who was tempted first or not, Savras's actions were vicious enough... Azuth has always been quite generous and friendly to voters like them who have something to do with Black Eyes, otherwise Alustriel wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Will choose to offend his children.
How to put it... Azuth would not hate her for such a trivial matter, but Midnight would probably do something because of Alustriel's lack of loyalty.
Of course Alustriel knew that what she did was shameless, but at that time, Midnight was already a little crazy, and she really didn't dare to provoke him.
But Savras... is not only dealing with Kelben, but also wants to catch them all... Damn guys, as long as there is a chance, they will definitely take revenge!
"I..." Laila hesitated.
"You go too!" Alustriel stared at her and said, "Your husband and your children are all in the prophecy.
You...are in the same crisis as me.
Those two children are still young. If something happens to you, wouldn’t the position of mayor in Luskan have to be replaced?”
"I once asked Linn." Laila replied softly, "He answered very simply... The reason why I was asked to regain Luskan was because of my identity... I used to be the Queen of Luskan, and now I will
The city is in my hands, and it is a matter of course.
If Lord Aglaia had come out to take revenge, he would have simply given up Luskan and let the Toril people deal with it."
"That Lord of Hill is very determined to leave Toril!" Xinbu said with great interest, "It seems that the outside world is already full of vigilance against our world.
Yes, it’s a lesson as big as Tyr’s!”
Laila shook her head: "Xinbu! Don't make trouble!
You should stop saying this. If you offend that person, he will actually send you to Talos to be a slave god, and you will be happy?
What Linn means is that unless my descendants give up their position as mayor of Luskan, there will definitely be left for me, and no one can make Lord Aglaia give in, including the powerful god.
I think... someone with this kind of ability wouldn't want to rob Luskan who has to fight orcs every year.
Anyway, most of the management of daily affairs is done by the tower spirit. Only major matters require my decision-making.
There are only about 30 officials in Luskan, big and small...and they are all under my control.
Defense affairs are all taken over by the Knights of Justice, and the city guards...basically stand guard and point the way on a daily basis."
She finally said calmly: "I would rather my children take over Luskan than Waterdeep.
Danilo is actually pretty good."
Alustriel stared quietly at Laila, whose tone was flat but full of determination: Her sister probably fell into complete regret at this moment... because Kelben dragged her into the dirty water.
Therefore, Laila has made up her mind that once she encounters a life or death crisis, she will go first.
She shook her head gently, not intending to discuss this kind of issue with Laila... If the path of destiny could be replaced, how could it make powerful magic voters like them so helpless?
Besides, no matter how selfish she is, Alustriel will not let her sister die for her.
She will struggle until the end, but she will not give up her reason and bottom line because of fear of death.
Alustriel knows that he is not a good person... but how good can a good person live in Toril?
Dove's husband was indeed a good man, but in the end he died trying to protect others... Dove, who did not want to be involved in the power struggle of the Knights, had to hide and raise her children under the protection of the elves.
Otherwise, there will always be people who want Dove to stand up and say something... No one will say, don't bother Hawkhand's wife, he died for us.
But she won't be as eager for quick success as Kelben... Elminster's life is indeed very good, and she is very envious of it.
But is that coming from envy?
The talent gap is there.
Without the blessing of the goddess of magic, becoming an extraordinary mage was her limit to Alustriel... If she didn't clearly know her upper limit, why didn't she use her close relationship with Mystra to continue walking on the road of magic?
Among the sisters, the one with the most magical talent is Xinbu... However, Xinbu relied too much on the talent of the warlock. After getting together with Elminster, he began to return to the world of magic... It was already too late.
The Magic Network gave them everything, but... it didn't include freedom.
Alustriel looked at the sky quietly: Now, they can only pray that when Mystra appears, they have completed the minimum requirements of the magic network and don't have to jump out to block the goddess's gun.
As for the benefits, Alustriel no longer dares to think about it.
