When Isaac focuses on one thing, especially something in the field of magic, there are very few things that can stop him.
At least, this operation of using the endless magic source energy of the "dark energy core" to use the "spell storage" for free did not stump him.
It only takes a day or two to get familiar with it, and every day, he will set aside a fixed time to study "enhanced spells" and conceive of "level 10 magic" and "legendary spells", but still, he
The control of the "dark energy core" is still up to standard, enough to meet the etching needs of the "spell storage"!
Then, non-stop, a series of spells were etched on the dragon scales.
However, even though the "Dark Energy Core" saved most of his magic resource investment, the progress of this etching was still not fast.
This is not a problem with the "dark energy core", nor is it a problem with his efficiency in manipulating magic source energy. At least, these are not the main reasons.
The real reason is that this etching itself requires enough time. Calculated in terms of spell level, each time a spell is etched, it takes an average of one hour per level. If the etching is an "enhanced spell"
”, and it will take about an extra hour.
In other words, if what he is etching is a "pseudo-level tenth spell", it will take a full 10 hours to complete each etching!
Such time-consuming, coupled with the fact that Isaac has to invest time every day to study "enhanced spells" and conceive of "level 10 spells" and "legendary spells"...
Imagine the efficiency of this etching!
Fortunately, he has already mastered the ability to prepare spell slots without the need for a spell book. The same is true now. When he prepares spell slots, he also does not need "spell storage".
Therefore, although the etching efficiency is average, every spell Isaac completes with etching is both practical and powerful.
Since there are "enhanced ninth-level spells" such as "Ultimate Disintegration" and "Absolute Freedom", they are also "pseudo-level tenth spells".
There are also "Advanced Dimensional Anchors", "Isaac's Continuous Flashes", and even "Medical Techniques" and "Regeneration Techniques" etched on dragon scales in the form of arcane magic.
More, as time passes day by day.
His research on "strengthening spells" has also yielded results and is being born one after another.
The first is the "Advanced Mind Barrier", which is enhanced with domain source energy to provide greater protection against "breakthrough"!
Then there is the "Advanced Chaos Cloak" aimed at the lawful camp. This enhancement focuses on suppressing lawful creatures, and naturally it is aimed at Baator Hell!
And with the completion of the research on these two "enhanced eighth-level spells", it was already half a month later.
On this day, the unshakable etching time had just ended, but he was not in a hurry to adjust his state to enter the next stage of research. Isaac's figure moved, but he transformed into a human form and walked out of this secret palace.
Outside the secret hall, the first loyal servant was already waiting for him.
As soon as he walked out, the first loyal servant immediately came up to meet him: "Master, there is urgent news from Hell Gate Castle. The Spider Queen has revived, Dragon Shadow City has retreated, and the whip led by Kenil Walker
The Legion has also withdrawn from the battle, and the siege of Menzoberranzan has ended. In addition, there is a secret message from Salion, one of the three six-armed snake demons, and she wants to see you alone."
The Spider Queen revives!
Although it was clear that the first loyal servant's request for an audience meant that something important was bound to happen, Isaac's eyes still shrank slightly.
"It's true."
"Eilistraee and Velen, they still can't defeat Him!"
He had some knowledge behind the Spider Queen's silence.
If he is like this, Eilistraee and Velen cannot be unaware of it.
For a time, he understood that Velen seemed to have the upper hand, and even had the possibility of pushing his mother off the throne.
Therefore, in the material world, Dragon Shadow City once completely suppressed the Spider Queen sect, and was not far away from capturing Menzoberranzan.
But the end result was completely the opposite.
However, Isaac was not surprised by this.
No matter Velen or Eilistraee, who can guarantee that their so-called advantages before are not part of the Spider Queen's calculations?
"Since the silence has ended, I am afraid that He has truly completed the transformation and promotion of powerful divine power!"
"There will be no one in the Drow divine system who can fight against him!"
"The reason for the retreat of Velen Sect is precisely because of this!"
"In this way...it seems that the real decisive battle with Mephistopheles is not far away!"
The Spider Queen's resurrection, and most importantly, her promotion to powerful divine power, will inevitably bring about a series of changes.
Although Isaac has no direct positive relationship with these, he will inevitably be implicated. Especially, he has promised a long time ago that when Kuilu and the others prepare to take action against Mephistopheles, he will
I will personally help you.
If the Spider Queen's resurrection brings forward the decisive battle, he will not only have to be prepared to take action, but he will also have to be wary of the vicious God Queen!
"However, since He has revived and brought about the end of the battle of Menzoberranzan, then Alisa now..."
Alisana got on the magic ship heading to the Pit of the Leyline from Menzoberranzan and temporarily lost its whereabouts. Even his prophecy could not pinpoint the location.
Now that the Spider Queen has revived, and the siege of Menzoberranzan has been lifted, presumably the magic ship has returned as well.
Then Alyssa now...
With this sudden movement in his heart, Isaac asked: "Apart from this, is there any other news?"
The first loyal servant shook his head, he did not receive any other news.
It is difficult to say that this is the news of Alisa's return. It is not urgent information, so there is no urgent news.
Or... it's not impossible, there is still no news about this Al-Al Demon!
Isaac frowned slightly in his heart, and then dismissed the first loyal servant.
"First make sure whether she has returned."
"It would be best if you have already returned."
"Otherwise, it's necessary to put in some effort over there to do a good investigation!"
As soon as the thought flashed, Isaac sent out a "SMS": "Come to me in half a plane."
After a while.
The demiplane of Hellgate Keep.
"His Majesty!"
The person who received the message was naturally none other than the six-armed snake demon Salien.
After paying homage to him, Aiweike nodded slightly and then got straight to the point: "Why do you want to see me alone with this secret message?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to serve you in more ways."
"What others can do, I can do the same."
"As long as you give me this opportunity, even if you leave Hell Gate Castle and put down all the troops, I will have no objection."
Salien's reply was not only unthinking, but also solemn.
She has been thinking about it for a long time and is very mature.
If she doesn't take the initiative, as those in the Hidden Layer continue to integrate, her status will be further marginalized.
She didn't have the confidence to compete with that person under fair circumstances.
After all, not only is her power far superior to hers, she not only has a whole team of six-armed snake demon dark guards under her command, but more importantly, the queen is also the lord of the Hidden Layer!
"Effectiveness!"
Isaac understood what she meant.
He has always been quite indulgent towards the seven giants of the Tanar'ri in Hell Gate Castle.
Except for the formulation of the general direction, which comes from him, everything else is basically controlled by these people under daily circumstances.
But Salien now says that he is willing to give up everything at Hell Gate Castle just to be able to serve him in more ways!
She even said that if others can do it, she can do it too!
Facing the expectant gaze of the six-armed snake demon Ye Ye, Isaac did not respond directly, but said lightly: "What is the situation in Menzoberranzan now? Dragon Cinema, Kenil Walker, and
What will happen if there is Alyssa?"
This seems to be a bit of a comparison.
The six-armed snake demon tried to get the status of his confidant, but he could give it to him, but after a test, it was natural.
It just so happened that at the same time as this test, he could also confirm the news about Alyssa.
"Things are very wrong in Menzoberranzan."
Salien knew it was a test of her.
This test may not affect His Majesty's acceptance of her, but it will probably affect how to use her in the future.
Therefore, without any reservations, Salion said while thinking: "Although Menzoberranzan has always been the center of the Spider Queen's faith, the people who besieged Menzoberranzan this time have no choice but to follow the masked ones.
In addition to the King's Dragon Shadow City, the Flagellant Legion led by Walker, and the gray dwarves of Glextu, there are actually followers of the immortal goddess of vengeance from the drow pantheon who also secretly joined them.
It stands to reason that even if the Spider Queen recovers, it is impossible for this coalition to retreat directly before the final decisive battle begins.
But it happened that both Longying City and the followers of the Immortal Vengeance were the first to retreat.
This even resulted in the Gray Dwarf army being massacred by Menzoberranzan.
There must be something wrong behind this, and it should be related to the Spider Queen, so she revived, and the Masked King and the Immortal Vengeance immediately retreated in fear!"
Something's wrong with the Spider Queen!
This six-armed snake demon is also very sensitive.
Isaac nodded slightly but said nothing, only motioning for her to continue.
Salien then said: "I don't know much about the situation in Dragon Shadow City, but some information points out that they should be rebuilding this underground city among the ruins of Kidd-Nazar."
The general location of Chide-Natsar should be underground in the southernmost part of the Gray Peak Mountains, far away from Hell Gate Castle. However, the spies of Hell Gate Castle have always been wary of Dragon Shadow City, but they still noticed it.
It's time for them to take action.
Rebuilding Chid-Nazar is good news.
The drow dragons in Dragon Shadow City have a tradition that each guardian elder is responsible for a city.
Although this responsibility does not mean that this drow dragon will permanently reside in the city, there is no doubt that the possibility of its appearance in the city is not small.
Although now, the mystery of the drow dragon's transformation is no longer attractive to Isaac, but since he had promised Barrett, this must always be completed.
Of course, during the period of dragon madness, these drow dragons will inevitably shrink back to Dragon Shadow City and disappear into the shadow realm.
Isaac is not in a hurry to do anything now.
"When the Dragon Madness is over, it's not too late to keep Barrett's attention."
This matter is Barrett's most urgent matter, so the old killer should pay more attention to it.
"Walker is a little restless."
"After retreating from Menzoberranzan, he temporarily retreated into Amarinda, but spies have been sent out to find new targets."
"However, he does not dare to disobey Your Majesty's order. This spy is still concentrated in the Northern Dark Region."
In the past, Amarinda was Tanarok's retreat.
But now Amarinda, several of the seven giants have reached out to her.
In addition, in the current Hell Gate Castle, there are also Queen Angelina and General Hewlett.
No matter how ambitious Kenil-Walker is, he will not go insane.
It is normal to find another way out.
"However, there is still no news about Alyssa. If Your Majesty wants to pursue it, I can immediately send people to Menzoberranzan or even to the abyss to investigate."
Obviously, Saleen also had suspicions that the Al-Al Demon might have fallen into the bottomless abyss.
"Trouble!"
Isaac frowned secretly in his heart.
If you really fall into an abyss, it will probably be in the deep pit of the Demon Network.
And with the promotion of the Spider Queen, today's Demon Web Pit is no longer what it used to be.
After pondering for a while in his heart, Isaac still didn't give up directly. Isaac nodded slightly: "I'll leave this matter to you. Let's check first to see if there are any people returning to Menzoberranzan.
For the time being, Itla and Marina will be your right-hand men, and a team of secret agents will also contact you to assist you.
In addition to the news about Alyssa, you also have another mission. I want to know how Mephistopheles reacted after the Spider Queen revived.
For specific circumstances, you can communicate with Itla."
Mephistopheles?
Salien's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
However, since His Majesty asked her to communicate with Itla, she would not ask any more questions.
On the contrary...
She didn't ignore the "temporary" part.
She took the initiative to surrender, and His Majesty also gave her a chance. Whether this is true surrender and whether she is truly capable depends on her performance.
This "temporary" is obviously just waiting to see her performance!
Neither of the two things involved attacking the city, so those who cooperated with her actions were focused on intelligence and assassination.
Marina, the succubus, has been responsible for information about Menzoberranzan.
Since His Majesty asked them to communicate with Mephistopheles about the situation related to Mephistopheles, the soul-slayer Demon Itla has obviously been operating in secret for a long time.
With this movement in his heart, the six-armed snake demon nodded in response: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Isaac then stopped keeping her: "Go."
However, the six-armed snake demon hesitated, but did not retreat directly. Instead...
"Your Majesty, Alyssa and the others are not here. If you need me, I can do it."
