"Where did this information come from?"

Owo put down several yellowed books in his hands, his slightly swollen face showing great disbelief.

As a Grand Arcanist in the era of Netheril, he originally thought that after witnessing Karthus's stupidity and madness, nothing in this world could shock him.

But now, the fat house lich suddenly discovered that Zuo Si, an ally he was cooperating with in depth, actually had a kind of madness hidden under his calm and rational appearance.

This kind of madness is completely different from the chaotic camp demons who can do whatever they want and come up with whatever they want.

Instead, by taking advantage of human greed, selfishness, desire, and even lofty ideals, obsessions and other weaknesses, first throw out a bait that no one can refuse.

Then, through a series of careful plans and calculations, both allies and enemies will act according to their own will, and finally achieve one or several jaw-dropping subversive results.

"The source of this information was released by Xi Manmeng, the controller of the Zhentarim's dark intelligence network.

As far as I know, this guy who recently transformed himself into a vampire lord is currently serving both Soth and Fuzor Chambery.

So I speculate that Soth should have deliberately asked him to do this.

As for the purpose, it may be to trick Sazastan, or it may be to try to provoke a civil war among the red-robed mages of Cyre, or it may be to divert the attention of Elminster and the Harper Alliance.

In short, I tend to think that Soth personally created this crisis.

After all, those are the eyes of Talos, the god of storms, which contain powerful divine power that can control natural disasters.

As long as anyone gets it, he can master the power to destroy a country in an instant.

Not to mention that it can also promote mortals to gods.

But what exactly he wants to achieve is still unknown.

Because with the rapid spread of the news, there are too many variables that may arise."

Morissa said everything she could think of.

As the eldest grandniece of the "Immortal", and also the person with the highest level and the strongest ability to cast spells in public among her descendants, she is undoubtedly very aware of the value of the Eye of the Storm.

This thing might bring out some old monsters that have lived for thousands of years.

For example, Larok, the wizard king who lives in the Warlock's Tomb in the Troll Mountains north of Baldur's Gate and the Wandering River, may be interested in this.

"So you think that eye is a bait deliberately released by Soth?"

Owo touched his plump chin with a thoughtful expression.

Morissa nodded slightly: "This is an obvious thing.

Soth is a very special person.

He has never set the goal of becoming an immortal god, but has a higher pursuit.

His unique identity as a planeswalker gives him a huge advantage that even the gods cannot match.

In the world of Toril, this guy is probably the only one who is willing to throw out an artifact like the Eye of the Storm, and then sit by and watch countless people fight for it like a mad dog.

If you are interested in this, we will start the layout in advance.

Otherwise, as more and more people join in, I’m afraid there won’t be any chance to take action.”

"Hahahaha!

No, my dear child, your understanding of Soth is still too superficial.

Believe me, from the moment the Eye of God was thrown to Sazastan as bait, he must have made countless preparations.

No matter whether it is Sazhastan, Velshalon, or anyone else who is interested, they will never have the opportunity to complete the so-called god-conferring ceremony.

Soth will recycle that eye at the right time in a way that leaves everyone speechless.

So don't waste your efforts.

I don’t want to waste my time and energy on this boring fight.”

Owo laughed and shook his head, with even a little sarcasm in his tone.

There is no doubt that his way of thinking is the most unique among all existing great arcanists. Even in the era of Netheril where the stars shine, he can be called "maverick".

This Fat Mansion Lich never even built a magnificent floating city in order to show his power, wealth and authority like other great arcanists. Instead, he chose to build a magic castle made of basalt in the lonely wasteland.

Perhaps it was this crucial choice that made him one of the few Grand Arcanists who did not foresee the destruction of Netheril but survived in the end.

In addition, Ovo maintained his human form for a long time because he absorbed life force through necromancy magic.

Therefore, unlike other lonely lichs, he has a large number of children and descendants, and it is said that the number has reached an astonishing tens of thousands.

Many of them are soulless "living zombies" created through special necromancy magic, and many of them are his or other family members' descendants.

But now, Ovo has given up on the castle that was originally located in the lonely wasteland and gave it to Morissa as a gift, and instead built a residence in the cave under the High Forest.

Since the High Forest is full of dense forests, rivers, grasses and swamps, it is not easy to find the entrance that is obscured by magic.

What's more, anyone approaching the cave entrance must successfully cross the freezing cold water without being able to reach the air.

This is absolutely impossible for most living people.

Therefore, only undead creatures, constructs, elemental creatures, alien creatures, and beings with extraordinary characteristics are eligible to approach the entrance.

In addition, Ovo also has a very bad reputation, that is, like the emperors of the Shane Empire, he likes to capture unicorns that symbolize kindness and purity to conduct evil necromantic magic experiments.

His attainments in this area are even far above that of Shane VII.

"Are you sure?" Morissa asked in an uncertain tone. "You must know that even obtaining the knowledge of mortal gods from Velshalun is very valuable."

"I'm pretty sure.

If the so-called god-conferring ceremony comes at the cost of consuming an eye of god, then it is essentially a process of transformation of divine power and divinity.

The former is the most important, while the latter is just a means and has no universality or reference value.

Besides, I don’t think that an evil and chaotic god like the God of Storms would be so kind as to let mortals take advantage of him for free.

Even if someone succeeds in becoming a god through this method in the end, they will probably only be exploited by Talos."

After saying these words, Owo ignored his eldest grandson and niece and continued to sort out the magic knowledge and materials and classify them according to the difficulty of learning.

As a veteran who has already established several magic academies and personally taught many well-known archmages, he obviously knows that magic learning must be done step by step, and he cannot give those young apprentices too dangerous and explosive knowledge right from the start.

Otherwise, it will trigger a series of disasters, tragedies, and unimaginable serious consequences.

Many magic schools will eventually fail, decline and be destroyed, largely due to the mages' pride, arrogance, stubbornness, and endless thirst for knowledge and power.

Seeing that Ovo was once again immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself, Morissa could only sigh slightly, put one hand on her chest and bowed, then turned around and left the dark underground on foot.

Because the walls of the underground cave are covered with the blood of a creature called a petrified cow.

This thing looks like a naturally formed texture at first glance, but its effect can prevent all teleportation magic from taking effect.

Therefore, Morissa needs to walk out first, and then use teleportation magic to return to her place.

……

Almost at the same time, Elminster, who was active in the Northland, was also in a small wooden house provided by the Harper, with a solemn expression and Lila, Kelben, Storm Silverhand, Simbu, Dove...

The Eagle Hands, as well as some senior Harpers who also reached or were close to the legendary level, intensely discussed the news that Sazastan had obtained the Eye of the Storm.

"Soth really gave that thing to Sazastan? Is he crazy?"

The impulsive Xinbu was the first to lose his temper and slammed the table with his staff, asking angrily.

Because there is no one present who hates the red-robed mage of Ser more than she does, and the country he rules, Aglalon, has been invaded again and again.

If Sazastan really becomes a god and completes the integration of Cyre, which is suffering from internal strife, then Aglalon will undoubtedly become the first victim.

"No, it's not handed over, but they made a deal." Storm Silverhand corrected.

Xinbu rolled his eyes angrily: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference.

Judging from Zuo Si's character who likes to collect artifacts, high-level magic items and knowledge.

When Sazhastan got the eye, he must have paid the same price or even several times more.

This means that he must have lost a lot of trump cards and is in a very fragile and vulnerable state.

In addition, when the red-robed chief who is opposed to Sazastan within Ser hears the news, he will definitely try his best to sabotage it.

The most important thing is that now the Eye of God and the method of conferring gods are in the hands of Sazastan and Vesalun respectively.

Moreover, the two of them are mortal enemies, and there is definitely no possibility of reconciliation and cooperation.

So the situation is not as bad as you think, at least we have enough time."

Storm Silverhand patiently explained to this irritable sister.

Maybe it's because she has lived with Elminster for a long time, or maybe it's because she has been training newcomers for the Harper Alliance for a long time, serving as a technical and psychological mentor. Anyway, she has the calmest character and patience among the seven sisters in the North.

Rarely shows arrogance, anger and impulsiveness.

"I don't quite understand why Soth did this. I remember that when the conflict broke out in Luskan, he and the red-robed mage had a hostile relationship."
