"It seems that I was right. You really have this idea in your heart."
"Rose has gone silent. What ability does Valsaris have to control Mephistopheles?"
"And since she can't really manipulate Mephistopheles..."
"Then the problem comes back."
"Could it be that the purpose of your imprisonment of Hellast, your attack on Waterdeep City, and Mephistopheles's purpose this time is really to assist Valsharis in conquering Waterdeep City?"
"Why don't you let me guess again..."
"Isn't it Mephistopheles who hasn't personally visited Leyline City yet?"
"You think, is it possible that His imprisonment of Halaster may not be very reliable?"
"If Hellast is not imprisoned securely... Do you think it will be possible again? After our rescue, Valsaris was alerted, and when Valsaris hurried here, Hellast
Will it give her a big surprise?"
"In this way... the oath binding on Mephistopheles must be completely lifted, right?"
Isaac's words pricked the priestess's heart more and more each time, especially at the same time, the effect of the "suggestion technique" was constantly deepening and strengthening.
But in the blink of an eye, the spiritual defenses of these two priestesses were completely destroyed...
"Dominate humans!"
The same spell was cast without any signs, after two consecutive spells.
"Varazzo, I leave them to you."
Isaac then retired with success.
In fact, with the strength of his spells, he could control these two drow priestesses with just one look.
The reason why it’s complicated…
This was naturally meant for Kui Lu and the drow girl to hear.
Originally, he was trying to keep Kui Lu away from some troubles, at least to rest for a while.
But now, seeing this happening, I can’t even hide from it...
Then simply make things more complicated and let her think more about it, so as not to lead her followers and support them wherever they go without saying a word!
Kui Lu nodded slightly and thanked him with her eyes.
She knew of course that Isaac had already completed the "Suggestion Technique" and the "Domination Technique". Under these dual effects, it was unexpected that the Spider Queen Priest did not reveal the truth.
But at this time, her mind was a little confused.
In her previous exchanges with Isaac, she had already made several speculations about Halaster's situation.
At this time, combined with Valsaris, and even more combined with Mephistopheles...
In an instant, the current situation is much more complicated than before!
But...Yo
"Whether the final black hand is Mephistopheles, Valsaris, or someone behind her, one thing is undoubtedly that they will threaten Lismaiasa and Deepwater.
city!"
Therefore, it is inevitable to become enemies with them and resolve this incident.
"The focus of the response is just... whether it is possible to provoke internal fighting among them!"
This is exactly the underlying meaning revealed in Isaac's words.
I quickly took time in my mind and made relevant considerations.
Kui Lu then asked: "Tell me, where did Halaster imprisoned for you? How did you imprison him?"
"In the West District." Yodo
"Valsaris ordered us to build three magic stone pillars, and a leader of the Hell Fiends under Mephistopheles led a group of eight-headed ice demons to take action, and we just attracted Hela.
St, and imprisoned him with the power of the magic stone pillar..."
Based on the premise of "suggestion" and the addition of "control", the priestess responded without any struggle.
Three magic stone pillars, it is not easy to directly determine the root cause.
However, the leader of the Hell Fiend...
Being able to add the title of "leader" obviously means that this hell-fiend is anything but ordinary.
However, this is quite normal.
The status of Mephistopheles in Baator Hell can be compared to the status of the Big Three of the Abyss in the Abyss, or at least to the status of Grazite and Orcus in the Abyss.
It's not just that.
Different from the "You disobey me, I disobey you" of the Lord of the Abyss, the hell nobles and big devils in Baator Hell rarely live alone.
Therefore, if we really want to talk about it, the power under Mephistopheles, especially the high-end power, is probably even better than Graz'zt and Orcus.
Even Eltaba, who is obviously inferior to Graz'zt and Orcus, has Lord Balor, the Big Three Demons, a team of six-armed snake demon Dark Guards, and a whole team of Mysteries.
Serves the Tempter Legion.
Just the leader of the Hell Fiends, this is certainly not worth mentioning to Mephistopheles.
At least, it is not worth mentioning for the power that Mephistopheles controls in Baator Hell.
As for the material world...
Different from Kostchichi and Eltaba, this demon king who controls the "Hellfire" is as famous for his magical abilities as Orcus.
It is not impossible for Him to directly call on the Baatezu devil in the material world, or even open the door to hell and call for the arrival of the Baatezu army!
Neither Kui Lu nor Isaac had any doubts about this.
However, considering that the leader of the Hell Fiend appears...
Kui Lu did not despise, let alone ignore, this high-level Baatezu, who must be at the legendary level: "Is this hell fiend also in the West District, guarding Hellast?"
"not at all."
"Valsaris only asked us to interrogate the secrets of Hellast's manipulation of Leymaze. The leader of the Hell Fiend should have returned to Mephistopheles after completing his mission. However, that
The eight-headed ice demons have stayed, and they are all extremely powerful."
The priestess shook her head in denial.
The leader of the Hell Fiends actually left!
This is...somewhat interesting!
Maybe... what Valsaris wants is for her to control the power of Leyline City, not to give Mephistopheles a chance!
This drow mistress doesn't really trust this hell demon!
And Mephistopheles cooperated to recall the Hell Demon, this...
"To create better opportunities for the 'rescue' of Waterdeep City?"
"Furthermore, let Hellast deal with Valsaris in order to avoid the constraints of the 'oath binding' and 'contract'?"
Isaac's mind moved, and this possibility echoed his previous speculation.
but……
"It should be more than just that!"
Since the drow matron is not defenseless against Mephistopheles, this means that she may not take the bait!
Correspondingly, Mephistopheles is the Demon King of Hell, and his calculations may not be so "superficial"!
"Using Halaster and using Waterdeep may be just a superficial appearance to Him!"
"If Valsaris can be eliminated so easily, that would be great."
"But if I miss..."
Isaac's eyes suddenly flashed.
He had a feeling that if he really failed to catch Valsaris, it would mean that Mephistopheles's deeper conspiracy would begin!
Although the Hell Demon King obeys the "oath binding" and "contract", he is much more "trustworthy" than the Abyss Lord.
But, this doesn’t mean they won’t bite back!
In fact, by using the loopholes of "oath binding" and "contract" to carry out backlash, their methods will only be more difficult to guard against than the rebellion of the abyss lords!
"If it's a chain plan, what follows the first link will be..."
"Perhaps, it is necessary to first grasp the specific content of the oath binding that Valsaris made to Him!"
Isaac pondered in his heart.
On the other hand, Kui Lu kept asking questions.
From the specific layout of the Western District, to the power distribution of the Sargus layer, especially the strength of some key connecting places, they even asked about the conspiracy against Waterdeep City and the evil legion currently controlled by Valsharius.
specific situation……
Even though the two priestesses were not clear about many of these situations, as their understanding quickly deepened, both Kui Lu and Nasira's expressions became more solemn.
The power controlled by Valsaris far exceeded their expectations.
Especially Nasira, she is from the "Red Sisters" and has a deep understanding of Valsaris. In addition, Lismaia has now gathered "resistance" people who have escaped from various dungeons.
"Army", and therefore collected more intelligence, but even so, at this time, she still discovered that this was far from the full power of Valsaris, or in other words, not all of Mephistopheles.
strength!
But the two of them kept asking questions deeply.
At the back of the hall, inside the door of the secret passage, the sound of a mechanism activating was heard again.
Naturally, it was Yililin who led the team.
Inevitably, Kui Lu briefly introduced some situations to them and discussed them for a while.
She looked at Isaac: "Ai, tell me, if we continue to carry out the 'rescue' operation, but at the critical moment, we hold back on Valsaris, is it possible that this will lead to a conflict between her and Murphy?"
Infighting in Stoffelis?”
In terms of asking questions, she gradually began to trust Isaac's judgment more.
"It's good to continue the rescue."
"Since there is a possibility of provoking this internal fight, it is also possible to test Hellast."
"However, if my prediction is correct, I'm afraid Valsaris may not need us to keep our hands. Such a drow mistress is not short-sighted..."
"But even so, I'm still more optimistic about Mephistopheles. No matter how many drow masters she has, I'm afraid she won't be able to outnumber this Hell Demon King!"
"Let's continue to act normally and continue to 'cooperate' with the two of them to see who they are..."
Just when he said this, Isaac's heart suddenly moved.
Act normally! Yodo
Cooperate with the performance!
this……
His mind moved, but he thought of something.
According to the priestess's previous explanation, their ambush in the East District was actually just an accident. It was caused by the previous investigation led by Yililin. Therefore, the ambush here was not the main force at all.
Their real target, the real main force, is actually at the entrance connecting the second floor and the middle area, pointing at the adventurer team in Waterdeep City!
This was caused by the assassination operation of the "Red Sisters".
Therefore, if we want to talk about "acting normally" and "cooperating with the performance"...
"Adventurers of Waterdeep!"
With this sudden spiritual awareness in his heart, Isaac was saying exactly what he was saying, with a slight twist in the meaning: "However, since the power in Valsaris's hands is extraordinary, I would rather suggest that we
Slowing down the speed of operations, on the one hand, we are preparing to mobilize more forces, and on the other hand...it is not impossible for those forces who are investigating at the same time as us and are also pointing at Valsaris to cooperate together!
"
Those adventurer teams launched by Dunan?
Kui Lu heard what he meant, although for a while, she still couldn't understand it thoroughly, but...
"Yes, compared to Valsaris, our current strength is indeed a little weaker. If we can join forces with the Waterdeep City Adventurer's Guild, we will undoubtedly help each other!"
Kui Lu nodded.
She naturally knew Dunan's position in the Adventurer's Guild in Waterdeep City. In fact, Dunan's "Yawn Inn" was the most important stronghold of the Adventurer's Guild, and could directly connect to the Lost City of Earth!
Not only that, she also knew that Dunan was one of the masked lords of Waterdeep City.
The adventurer team initiated by Dunan undoubtedly has the prerequisites for joining forces!
Precisely because of this, although she was not able to understand some of Isaac's meaning for a while, she did not reject the alliance itself.
"I know some of the situations of those adventurer teams."
At this time, Nasira raised her hand.
With the appearance of Irilin and the others, and the gathering of many Eilistraee followers, she also let go of the little caution she had in her heart.
Seeing that everyone was watching, Nasira then said: "I came under the order of the prophet. My first task is to ask for help from Waterdeep City. Therefore, I have also been secretly preparing for the adventurers in Waterdeep City for a long time.
I started to pay attention to it.
Judging from the current situation, these adventurer teams should have three cores.
The most elite among them, the one with the fastest advance speed, already approaching the third level, should be an adventure group named 'Drogan and the Sons of Drogan'..."
Drogan and Drogan's son!
Not to mention Kui Lu, who is active in Waterdeep City, and those in the "Dark Maiden Corridor".
Even Isaac was not unfamiliar with the name of this adventure group.
This is an adventure group created by a famous dwarf adventurer named "Drogan".
Or, to say "create" is actually a bit inappropriate.
The greater significance of Drogan is that he is "teaching students"!
His students therefore called themselves "Sons of Drogan".
Then there is the term "Drogan and Drogan's Sons" as an adventure group.
However, this is not the point, at least not right now.
The point is...
Isaac suddenly asked: "Nasira, this is not your first time in Earthline Maze City, right?"
