"Hahahaha, I knew you would say that. Because your thoughts and motives are always so simple and direct, and you almost never hide them."
Corellon couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.
This is also one of his favorite places about Zuo Si.
Because as long as you are willing to pay, you will definitely get huge rewards from the other party in the future.
Take the elves of Faerûn as an example. Since the restoration of the Kingdom of Cormanthor and the joining of the Trade Alliance, they have successfully reintegrated into the world system and gained the corresponding right to speak.
And there is no longer any need to worry that beautiful and handsome elves will become the targets of slave traders, or be suddenly attacked by monsters, orcs and human racists. The overall population growth rate is very fast, even exceeding the past historical peak.
.
Of course, there are also many potions and sex toys that contribute to this.
In particular, a large number of stockings, underwear, perfumes, and magical drugs that can stimulate instinct and desire, as well as magic drugs that can increase body sensitivity, have greatly increased the frequency of mating among the originally slightly frigid elves, almost reaching several times or even ten times the normal level.
several times.
It has even spawned a large amount of artistic inspiration in this area and created one masterpiece after another that amazes the world.
You must know that in the past, elves' paintings, sculptures and handicrafts mainly pursued the beauty of color, line and overall integration with nature.
But now they are beginning to pursue a realistic style, especially the shaping of the body that has become muscular and layered, somewhat similar to the style of ancient Greek sculptures, but with the unique delicacy and delicacy of elves.
This undoubtedly makes the elven gods who are passionate about art very happy.
Although some old-fashioned people think this is a sign of some kind of degeneration and should be slightly restricted.
But Corellon felt it was completely unnecessary.
Because the release of this kind of instinct and desire has not developed to the level of the Dark Eldar in another universe, and it can also add a BUFF that is beneficial to fertility, it is simply the best gift for the sparsely populated Elf race.
The most important thing is that they no longer need to isolate themselves, and can contact humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, and even former enemies orcs at any time to do business, make friends, or carry out diplomatic activities.
This kind of interaction and competition can be said to be crucial to the promotion of civilization.
No closed civilization can continue for a long time, and it often gradually moves toward self-destruction and demise while remaining stuck in its ways.
In fact, for the elves as a race, Corellon does not blindly protect and pamper them, let alone one or two villages or cities being enslaved, massacred, and destroyed.
What he really cares about is the development and continuation of the race as a whole.
Otherwise, when the elves retreat, they will not sit back and watch as the elves in Kalimshan, Tethyr, Amn and other areas become slaves of humans in large numbers.
To be exact, several Crown Wars and the fall of the dark elves made him very angry, and he wanted to use this method to make the elves of Faerûn remember their lessons and ensure that similar mistakes would not be made again in the future.
"Simple? Direct? Undisguised? I think many people may not agree with your point of view. In their view, I am a big devil who combines insidiousness, cunning, lies, and scheming. They must be careful to guard against it."
Okay." Zuo Si mocked himself in a half-joking tone.
But Corellon smiled and shook his head: "No, that's because they don't understand you.
In fact, you have always been a person with very clear goals.
That is the pursuit of power beyond all else.
And there was never even the slightest bit of confusion from beginning to end.
Those who are against you simply don't understand that there is no need for them to stand in your way.
Because your goals do not conflict with theirs, they can even complement each other to some extent.
Many times a few concessions and gifts can gain your friendship and receive unimaginable huge rewards in the future."
There is no doubt that the Elf Lord is one of the very few people in this universe who truly understands and sees through Zuo Si, apart from the God of Knowledge.
He directly transcended the complex manifestations and saw the essence of things hidden in the deepest place.
Zuo Si stared at the other person's eyes for a long time before slowly responding: "You are right. It's a pity that there are too few people who understand this."
"yes.
There are always too many fools looking for trouble in this world and even the entire universe, so there will be all kinds of conflicts and confrontations, as well as endless wars.
So I want my children to focus more on being happy rather than being a part of it.
But they always disappoint me.
Especially Aroshi (Lolth's former name when she was still a member of the elven pantheon).
I once had unparalleled expectations for her, but in the end she lost herself in the struggle for conspiracy and power and chose betrayal.
Promise me not to kill her no matter what, okay?
No matter what, she is my daughter and wife."
Corellon's tone was filled with deep regret and sadness.
It can be seen that his feelings for the Spider Queen are very deep, so deep that even now he is unwilling to hurt her.
No wonder Rose has been brazenly making small moves, even trying to corrupt young new members of the elven pantheon, and trying to form a coalition to invade Arvandor.
"Please don't worry, even if it's not for your sake, I will let her go for the sake of Abyss Will."
Zuo Si made the promise without thinking.
After all, the identity of the Spider Queen is too special, and she is protected by two beings that are even more terrifying than powerful gods. Killing her is totally not worth the gain.
In contrast, appropriate weakening is the right choice.
After getting the answer he wanted, a look of satisfaction appeared on Corellon's face: "Thank you very much.
I owe you a favor this time, and I will give you a small gift later.
Also, remember not to intervene too early.
I want Eilistraee to have a little longer memory in this incident.
She is too naive and immature, always thinking that she can save the entire dark elf clan with her own power.
But in fact, compared to A Luoshi, her plans are as childish and ridiculous as a three-year-old child."
"clear!"
Zuo Si agreed very simply.
He understood what this Elf Lord meant.
Just as Corellon said, the gap between the Dark Maiden Eilistraee and Rose is too big.
This gap is not just about believers, influence and divine power levels, but also about the understanding of one's own field and camp.
Take the Spider Queen as an example. She has deeply understood that the chaos of the dark elves stems from fear rather than evil.
The pleasure of chaos is to savor the humbleness, cowardice and obedience of ordinary people in front of oneself, to subvert the foundation of all things, and to master every trick that can cause disaster.
And these are things that ordinary dark elves cannot truly understand and appreciate throughout their lives.
Rose loved this ignorance of the believers.
But for ordinary dark elves, chaos means that individuals can gain benefits from it, and it means that they can continuously climb to the peak of power through conspiracy, betrayal, assassination and blood, until they are above everyone else.
Through this subtle influence, this chaotic and evil goddess has already deeply ingrained something into the culture and genes of the dark elves, which cannot be changed overnight.
That's why Eilistraee and Velen were defeated miserably in the Battle of the Spider Queen, losing to their own mothers.
Because they neither understand what true chaos is, nor what true evil is.
This is like the duel between two people described in many books and movies. One person is far superior to the other in terms of realm, and the latter obviously has no chance of winning.
At least in Zuo Si's eyes, the so-called "War of the Spider Queen" was not an adventure or a gamble, but a trap set by Rose.
"See you later."
After saying these words, Corellon's incarnation disappeared instantly.
Zuo Si, on the other hand, watched with great interest the commotion in the Dark Area for a while before turning and leaving.
…
There is no doubt that for the residents of the surface world of Faerûn, the drastic changes taking place in the underground world are even far less noticeable than the end of the civil war between the red-robed mage Ser.
Because after Sazastan declared himself to be a lifelong dictator, he immediately integrated the forces of the two factions and launched a surprise attack on the bordering Mulhorand Empire.
In less than a week, the battle line was pushed directly to the banks of the Rosen River, and countless villages and towns were completely reduced to ruins in the massacre of the undead and construct armies.
The airships and cannons originally prepared for each other were all thrown in, directly dealing a heavy blow to the Mulhorand Empire, which was unprepared and was in the process of transitioning from divine power to secular power.
You must know that since the end of the Theocratic Age, the center of gravity of the Mulhorand Empire has shifted from the north to the south.
The army with the Anho Church as the core is constantly invading Unser, which is in chaos, and is also expanding its influence to the Chesenta area. Many mercenaries in the area have chosen to convert to the God of War and pray for his blessings.
.
Therefore, the main forces of the Mulhorand Empire are concentrated in the south rather than the north.
When Sazastan's army launched a fierce attack, the entire border defense line collapsed instantly, and no effective resistance was formed at all.
Because the elite and tactical command honed in the brutal civil war are simply not comparable to those human soldiers who have neglected training for a long time in peacetime.
In addition, this is a joint land and air battle, which directly upgrades the original two-dimensional plane war to a three-dimensional one. It is not surprising that such a result will occur.
But what other forces in the entire Faerûn continent cannot understand is that the red-robed wizards of Ser actually changed their minds and did not plunder and sell slaves. Instead, they killed all the subjects of the Mulhorand Empire without leaving any trace behind.
Their corpses transformed into undead creatures.
Obviously, Zuo Si deliberately asked Sazastan to do this to reduce the number of followers of the Mulhorandian pantheon and ensure that they could never shake the dominant position of the Faerunian pantheon in this continent.
The tragic massacre instantly triggered collective anger from top to bottom in the Mulhorand Empire.
The ruling group, which was still fighting among themselves and fighting for power, responded immediately and mobilized legions from the southern region to the north as quickly as possible. Many cities also started recruitment plans, and Galedan City even sent a group of mages to help.
In this way, an army of revenge was quickly formed.
For this reason, they even gave up control of the occupied area of Unse, and transferred back more than 10,000 soldiers stationed there, a total of 8,000, leaving only 2,000 to barely guard the city and the fortress.
Unser's rebels also seized this opportunity and began to actively launch attacks to regain the lost territory.
Suddenly, the entire east of the continent was turbulent.
Of course, merchants from the West Coast Empire were inevitably involved in this war.
Sensing business opportunities, they almost immediately appeared in the palaces and mansions of various powerful figures in the Mulhorand Empire, or secretly reached agreements with the rebel leaders in the Unser region.
In short, this high-profile war has firmly attracted the attention of the entire Faerûn continent not long after it broke out.
Regional leaders who were originally worried that Serge would launch aggression against neighboring countries after reunification also breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the Storm Queen Ximbu and the Threiman witches, who had been attacked by the red-robed mage, wished that Sazarstan and the Mulhorand Empire would fight for decades or hundreds of years, and it would be best for both sides to collapse together.
Because in their eyes, the Mulhorand Empire, which practiced slavery and had a strong tendency to expand, was not a good thing.
Just as the two great powers in the East were clashing passionately again, the drow girl Lirael had quietly entered a city that originally believed in the spider goddess Lolth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The reason why I emphasize "once" is because it has now been occupied by rioting male mages and warriors. All the female priests have been killed, leaving only
Some women who also have no power or status are used as tools to vent their anger and desires.
This time, they are no longer mistresses enjoying the service of men, but slaves tied to the rack with chains, shackles and ropes to be ravaged.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Lirael would never have imagined how terrifying it would be when a group that had been suppressed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years suddenly broke out and seized power.
Those men chanted the name of Velen, the dark elf god of conspiracy, frantically venting the anger in their hearts.
Many women who were placed in public were even tortured to death, and the corpses of many matrons and high-level priestesses were also magically made into things similar to pleasure golems.
If I had to use one word to describe the current state of this city, it would be crazy!
The ultimate madness!
"Damn! These guys just make me want to vomit. If Velen is allowed to lead the dark elves, it is better to continue to maintain the status quo."
Lirael resisted the nausea and vomiting in a low voice.
She could not imagine how these men would maintain the gender balance after killing all the women, and how they would reproduce and ensure that they would not perish due to population reduction.
But unfortunately, the drow men who have fallen into madness can no longer care about that much.
They just want to release the accumulated anger and depression in the most destructive way.
As for the consequences and the future, that's not what they want to think about right now.
Velen, the god of conspiracy, is obviously encouraging men to do this, in order to strengthen their own divine power and weaken their mother's control over the entire race.
It can be said that in the entire dark elf pantheon, except for Eilistraee, there is no god who truly considers the future of the entire ethnic group and sincerely hopes that they can live better and better.
But complaints are complaints, and Lirael has not forgotten her mission.
She very carefully used her cloak to cover her feminine features, and at the same time tightened her hood to cover her beautiful face, she crossed the street at a very fast speed and arrived in front of a very dilapidated looking house.
She didn't knock on the door, but cast a low-level detection spell.
moment!
A mysterious symbol appeared out of thin air in the corner of the wall.
Seeing this, Lirael's tense nerves relaxed a little. Then she looked left and right to make sure she was not being followed, and then silently recited a spell.
The next second...
Her petite figure disappeared out of thin air.
In an instant, the whole person appeared in a place that looked like a basement.
Through the drow's unique dark vision, she quickly noticed that the place was densely packed with underage children, girls to be exact.
Each of them looked stunned and terrified, and some were seriously injured or missing arms or legs and became disabled, lying on the ground curled up in a ball, shaking uncontrollably.
The indescribable visual impact almost made Lirael think that she had arrived at the church of Ilmat, the god of suffering in the surface world.
As a drow girl who often travels to the surface world for wandering and adventure, she has visited this benevolent and kind-hearted church of God more than once and donated money to it very generously.
On the one hand, this is because Ilmat's followers do not discriminate against dark elves, nor do they think that dark skin and silver hair represent evil and cruelty, and are willing to talk to them in a friendly manner.
On the other hand, I admire from the bottom of my heart these people who do good deeds selflessly without asking for anything in return.
It was from Priest Ilmat that Lirael learned what true kindness is.
It's just that she doesn't understand why there are so many little girls suddenly in this place that was originally the secret stronghold of the followers of the dark girl Eilistraee.
Many of them are nobles who wear family crests and emblems.
While the drow girl was looking around with a puzzled look, a female priest wearing the Holy Emblem of Eilistraee suddenly walked out from next door.
The moment she saw Lirael, she quickly put down what she was holding and exclaimed: "You...are you the chosen one who the goddess told me in her dream that you would come here?"
"Yes, my name is Lirael, nice to meet you. By the way, what's going on with these girls?"
The drow girl first introduced herself, and then looked around with doubtful eyes.
If she calculated correctly, there were at least forty or fifty underage girls here.
Upon hearing this, the pastor immediately replied with a wry smile: "They are all children who survived the riot before.
Some are nobles and some are commoners.
Although I didn't want to get involved in the beginning.
But seeing them being chased, raped, humiliated, and mistreated by those crazy men, he couldn't help but save them all and bring them back here.
After all, the goddess has taught us to be tolerant, kind, and kind, and to do our best to help the weak.
What's more, they are just a group of children and have not yet been poisoned by the Spider Queen's evil thoughts and teachings.
I think maybe we can guide them to believe in the great dark maiden and become one of us."
"But the problem is...how can you feed them with so many people?
You know, everything is in complete chaos outside now.
It's dangerous to even go out on your own, let alone get food and water.
In addition, letting them hide in this small place for a long time is not an option.
They are people, not animals, and they need privacy and their own space."
Lirael held her forehead and showed a painful expression.
She could understand the other party's desire to save these girls, but she ignored the most important point, which was whether he had such ability.
Because she had been with Zuo Si for a while, she did not have the unrealistic romantic spirit like other believers in Eilistraee, believing that there were always more solutions than difficulties, and that as long as she persisted, things would definitely turn around.
.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in fact, these people are often the first to die when they encounter real danger and suffering.
Because reality is always more cruel and desperate than imagined.
Especially if you do not consider your own abilities when doing good deeds, if you are not careful, you may do bad things with good intentions, or even turn into a terrible disaster.
Based on the situation at hand, if it was just to save a few people or a dozen people, Lirael would never say another nonsense.
But the number of people rescued now obviously exceeds the endurance limit of this secret stronghold and the opponent's ability.
If left unchecked, once food and drinking water are insufficient, not to mention the spread of religious doctrines that lead to conversion, it may trigger their deep-rooted sense of competition and eventually lead to an unusual internecine fight.
Even killing weak girls and feeding on their flesh and blood.
Don't think this is alarmist or a joke.
Rather, it is the result that will inevitably occur when the triggering conditions are met.
Because this is how the mother of the dark elf taught her children since childhood.
Except for those lucky ones like Drizzt who were taken away by their biological father Zaknavan when he was very young and escaped death, basically no one was spared.
In particular, the dark elves have a tradition of attaching more importance to women than men, which leads to the fact that women basically grow up under the eyes of their mistress or older sister and are sent to the Spider Academy to receive priest training.
So some of the girls present may have tasted the blood of slaves or even brothers and sisters.
"I...I never thought about it. I thought your arrival could help me solve these problems..."
The female pastor seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and she suddenly became very nervous, anxious and uneasy.
"Oh my God! I'm not here to solve your trouble. I'm going to Menzoberranzan to complete a very important task. But what do you want me to do now?"
Lirael was obviously a little crazy.
Although strictly speaking, she could have just taken the things and left regardless of the mess.
But the goddess's teachings and inner kindness prevent her from being so cold and rational.
Sometimes she even wonders if she made a mistake in choosing to believe in the Dark Maiden Eilistraee.
If you join the evil camp like Zuo Si, you don't need to worry about these moral choices now.
Because Lirael knew that Zuo Si would never let herself fall into a moral trap, let alone let anyone use moral kidnapping tactics to threaten herself.
"terribly sorry……"
The female pastor lowered her head in shame.
"Forget it, let me figure it out. What about the others?"
Lirael did not continue to blame the other party.
After all, any accusations, curses and complaints are of no use at this point. They cannot solve any problems at all and will only make the situation worse.
She understood this truth a long time ago.
To be precise, it was taught to her by her biological father, the chief mage of Menzoberranzan, Gromph Baenre.
The female priest replied in a slightly helpless tone: "Everyone else has gone out to look for food, drinking water, and medicines related to treatment and regeneration. As you can see, some of these children were seriously injured while fleeing. With my priest level,
It is impossible to perform magic like regenerating severed limbs, so we can only barely save their lives first."
"What? You sent everyone else out at a time like this?"
Lirael was stunned, obviously taken aback by the other party's boldness.
"There is no way. There is only three days' worth of food left here. It has been reduced from two meals to only one meal since the day before yesterday. If we can't find food within three days, we will completely run out of food and starve to death."
After saying that, the female priest glanced at the surrounding drow girls sitting or lying on the ground with pity.
Just as Lirael's brain was thinking about solutions at high speed, a girl wearing a noble badge and looking like a nine-year-old human slowly raised her head and said in a tone full of hatred: "I know where there is food. As long as you
Kill someone for me and I will tell you where the food is stored."
"kill?"
Lirael frowned subconsciously.
Although the Dark Maiden Eilistraee is not the kind of god who taboos killing, she still feels very uncomfortable with this threatening attitude and tone.
"That's right!
As long as you help me kill Kusalel, I will tell you the location of a secret warehouse of the family.
There is enough food to feed everyone for several years, as well as weapons and equipment, magic potions and scrolls."
The girl calmly made the offer.
But as soon as he finished speaking, another older girl next to him immediately stood up and yelled in a sharp voice: "Asshole! Why didn't you tell us earlier if you knew where there was food? Isn't it fun to see us hungry?
"
"That's right! Don't you need to eat?"
Another drow girl stood up and shouted angrily.
"I don't care if you are hungry or not, and I don't care if you live or die. I just want that man to die! As long as I can do this, I am willing to pay any price!"
The eyes of the girl before were flashing with a creepy red light, and the strong hatred that was about to come out even made Lirael, who had seen a lot of the world, feel her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body was chilled.
Fortunately, Lirael quickly regained her composure and asked in an uncertain tone: "Who is Kusalel? What did he do to make you hate her so much?"
"He is my brother, the eldest son of the family. He cut off the head of another brother in front of me. Just because the latter wanted to protect me and hid me somewhere where he could not find me."
While saying this, the girl's eyes shed painful tears.
Obviously, her relationship with her second brother is very good, and it can even be said to be very close to the relationship between a brother and a sister in a family on the surface world.
Although this kind of family affection is very rare among dark elf noble families, it is not impossible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Viconia and one of her brothers once had similar emotions, but it ended tragically with the latter turning into a spider elf.
To be precise, this kind of normal emotion is generally regarded as a symbol of weakness in drow society and is despised, spurned and ridiculed.
"Is your brother a follower of Velen?"
Lirael seemed to realize something, and her eyes began to flash with a sharp light.
"Yes. Although he had been hiding well before, on the day of the riot, he confessed his beliefs personally and started a massacre within the family. If nothing else, he should have become this person by now.
One of the city’s leaders.”
The girl told everything she knew without hiding anything.
"Okay, I agree to your terms. Soon you will see Kusalel's head."
After saying this, Lirael left the secret stronghold without even staying for a second.
After returning to the streets of the city, she quickly activated a magic item and turned it into a spiritual air ball that slowly floated towards the location of the city council. She did not notice at all that there was always a pair of eyes watching her in the dark.
After flying completely far away, this mysterious man walked out from the dark corner, took off his hood to reveal a beautiful and enchanting drow female face, chuckled and sighed: "Go straight to the enemy's base camp?
What an impatient little guy.
No wonder the Dark Maiden has been suppressed and beaten by the Spider Queen for so many years.
She and her constituents, her followers, are too reckless."
"Dear Viconia, what are you going to do?
You must know that although most of the dark elf female priests in this city have been killed, the male mages are still there.
They arranged a lot of magic barriers around the city council.
If you break in rashly, you will definitely be exposed."
Another drow woman appeared from the darkness and directly called the former's name.
"Don't worry, dear Vinal. At times like this, you have to stay calm. We won't have time to take action until this young man is in danger. By the way, all your people should be in place, right?"
As she said that, Viconia turned her head and showed a playful smile.
"Of course! With the power and genetic modification given by His Majesty the Great Soth, they can now equal one to a hundred."
Vinal replied bluntly in the affirmative.
You don't need to ask to know that Viconia and Vinal are the trump cards that Zuo Si placed in the Underdark to prepare for the Spider Queen's war.
After all, they are also dark elves. Like Drizzt and Lirael, they are from Menzoberranzan and are very familiar with it.
Among them, Viconia was born into a noble family and had to flee to the surface world because her family was destroyed in a secret war.
Vinal and her team were recruited by Zuo Si during his last trip to the Underdark. They had been arranged to perform counter-espionage missions in Luskan.
Later, as his strength grew and more and more technologies were acquired, Zuo Si did some genetic modification experiments on these dark elves, mixing some special super gene seeds and implanting them into their bodies, which improved their physical fitness by leaps and bounds.
promote.
Now, in order not to arouse the vigilance of Rose and other dark elf gods, he sent out all these two forces as insurance.
"No, there is no need to fight one for a hundred. You should know very well that the master wants us to keep a low profile, so let your people be as restrained as possible."
Viconia raised the corners of her mouth as a reminder.
Different from the last time she escaped from the Dark Area, this time she is already a great devil priest with a level as high as LV28. Not only has her physique and bloodline been blessed with purgatory transformation, but she can also release the astonishingly powerful hell flame breath at will.
As long as she doesn't encounter the chosen ones or the incarnations of other gods, she can basically walk sideways in the Underdark.
Especially the breath of hell flames is absolutely very deadly to dark elves who are afraid of high temperatures, and can often burn a large area to death at once.
In her opinion, this mission can be called a "return to home in splendor".
She vowed to find the enemies of Menzoberranzan one by one and kill them in the most brutal way.
Of course, the other thing is to protect Lirael's safety and prevent her from falling into the trap woven by the spider goddess Rose.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Vinal rolled her eyes angrily, then turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
This scene made Viconia's red pupils suddenly dilate, revealing a trace of fear in her eyes.
Because she knew that it was not the effect of any magic or spell-like ability, but a pure physical movement speed that was too fast.
Including Vinal, the entire team has acquired such terrifying strength, agility and physical attributes after undergoing transformation.
It is said that a large part of the gene seeds they transplanted came from the imperial army of the human empire in another universe.
These so-called perfect human beings can even wear heavy powered mechas, move at a speed that is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, and clear out all enemies in an area before the opponent can react.
As long as a small group of Imperial Guards guards the main traffic routes, they can block or even repel enemies that are hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times their size.
Although Viconia has not seen the heroic appearance of the Imperial Guard on the battlefield, she can feel the terrifying power from the increased combat effectiveness of Vinal and her team.
If it weren't for the blessing of purgatory and powerful magic, she wasn't even sure if she was a match for the sharp blades in the hands of these masters.
But fortunately, these guys are not enemies, but on the same camp as myself.
Just as Viconia was surprised by the speed and fighting power displayed by Vinal, Lirael had already arrived above the Municipal Assembly and wanted to get closer to a window to peek inside.
But before she could lower the height, a dazzling light flashed instantly, and then several bolts of lightning shot out from the magic lines carved on the railing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no doubt that she triggered a magical barrier specially designed to resist spiritual creatures.
Oops!
Lirael immediately realized that she had made a mistake, a very, very fatal mistake, that is, she had forgotten the existence of those male drow mages.
You must know that generally speaking, the matrons will never allow men to approach this building that symbolizes the highest power in the entire city.
Therefore, the enchantments and enchantments of the Council are usually divine spells rather than arcane spells.
This also means that when all priests are dead, male mages cannot control them.
But the male mages in this city apparently transformed it, converting the original divine magic into arcane magic and allowing it to continue to function.
The drow girl had too little experience in this area, so she did not notice the changes.
But fortunately, she reacted quickly. When she saw the lightning flying over, she immediately returned to her original appearance and activated a protective scroll to form a barrier.
All the magical lightning that was shot was absorbed immediately and did not cause any damage.
But the next second...
Dozens of heavily armed dark elf warriors and mages rushed out from the building, as well as several mind flayers and gray dwarves.
The latter's identity is obviously that of a messenger.
As for why they appear here, it is probably related to some ulterior evil plan of Velen, the God of Conspiracy.
Although this god also hates all races except the dark elves like his mother, he is not as explicit as Rose showed.
In addition to the current special period, it is not worth making a fuss about recruiting the mind flayers and gray dwarves to form a coalition to attack other cities that still believe in the Spider Queen.
"Who are you? Why did you break into the city council?"
The leading drow male narrowed his eyes and asked sternly.
"Which of you is Kusalel?"
Lirael asked bluntly.
She obviously didn't intend to answer any questions, but wanted to confirm the target first.
"A woman? You are a spy sent by other cities to spy on intelligence!"
The male soldier next to him showed a surprised expression.
Because in his opinion, all the dark elf cities in the Underdark should fall into chaos with Rose's silence.
"Stop talking nonsense! Capture her first and then slowly torture her."
The leading man interrupted the former, and grinned with naked and undisguised cruelty and malice.
Not only him, but all the men present had similar reactions.
They obviously hate drow women to the point of being almost obsessive.
In less than half a second, several warriors had already drawn their swords and rushed over, completely blocking Lirael's retreat from different angles.
The mages also began to chant the following words, intending to use control spells to capture the spy alive, and have confirmed the situation in other surrounding cities.
Since the riots were launched, these men who have successfully seized power have basically lost all channels for obtaining information from the outside world.
After all, these diplomatic channels are usually controlled by the top family matrons.
Now that all the matrons have been killed and spent, naturally they don’t know how to get in touch with other cities.
Not only that!
They were also afraid that news of the seizure of power would spread and lead to siege from other cities.
The fear engraved in the bones of these men by the Spider Goddess Lolth cannot be easily eliminated.
