The emergence of the Dragon Worship Cult was both unexpected and reasonable.
As for Altana's news, Isaac's originally unhurried steps were slightly sped up.
In order to allow the people of the Dragon Worship Sect to move in without being too abrupt, he started to "attract investment" before the Natural Green was officially completed.
It is indispensable to ask for your own help first.
Shops selling magic props, shops selling specialties from the Underdark, hotels, taverns...
The consortium took over the first batch of shops.
And through these shops, Natural Green’s reputation as a tax-free place naturally spread immediately.
Before the industry support plan could be further launched, people began to inquire about the selling prices of shops one after another.
Among them, there are naturally people from the Dragon Worship Cult.
They purchased a shop with a secret passage connected to a fortress and opened a second tavern.
In the fortress, dragon-shaped kobold guards have been stationed for a long time. Isaac gave the leader of this guard a new order to check a secret box in the dark room once a day, and if he had a secret order, he would put it directly into it.
Of course, relying entirely on the Dragon Cult has never been Isaac's style.
The intelligence agencies of the coalition were also deployed early.
However, the first person to bring him useful information was from the other side.
"The Golden Skin is an ancient cultural relic unearthed by some adventurers from the Cursed Desert. According to scholars' interpretation, it should be related to the lost Snake Man Empire. It is said to record some secrets of the Snake Man's beliefs.
After investigation, it was found that it has been collected by Viscount Carlin of the Kingdom of Tessel..."
Miranda's secret message.
In addition to reporting on her progress in the Kingdom of Tethyr, the most critical information is the clue to this suspected religious artifact.
In other words, by using her, Isaac doesn't need to worry about whether his purpose will be noticed or peeped by others.
"The faith of the snake people!"
Some information came to Isaac's mind.
The snake people were once an extremely powerful race with more than one empire, but then they suddenly declined. The root cause seemed to be that the gods they believed in no longer responded to their prayers?
There is some relevant information in the inheritance, but Isaac is not sure whether it was because the gods no longer responded to prayers that led to their decline, or whether it was because they declined that the gods no longer responded to prayers.
However, no matter which one it was, or even whether the golden skin was valuable or not, this information gave him some direction.
He has no clues about demons and the like, but he has a direction for snake people, and there are more than one.
It is said that there are snake people in Boltan Jungle. Of course, Isaac does not want to take risks in that kind of place for the time being. The precedent of the black dragon being bound by an oath is just ahead of him.
There are also snake people in the misty swamp, and there are even snake demon priests. This is obviously a good research object.
Not only them, but they are adjacent to the Mist Swamp. His former neighbor in the Black Mist Jungle, the patrolling Naga, should also be a subject worthy of study.
Get the Golden Skin first, and then go back there if necessary.
With a plan in his mind, Isaac looked at the loyal servant kneeling in front of him: "You can bring an elite team of fifty rogues over there.
Tell her that if you can get it peacefully, then take it peacefully, but if the other side doesn't want peace, then just go ahead and do it. In addition, I need more detailed information to find the adventurers she mentioned as much as possible.
Tell her again that the Kelburn family will not appear here again, so that she can move even faster. "
There is already a group of fifty dragon-shaped kobolds over there, so sending an additional group over there to deal with a viscount should be enough.
"Yes, great master!" The loyal servant clasped his fingers and jotted down a few things before quickly accepting the order.
"Bring this to her." Feeling a little pain, Isaac used his claws to draw out a heavy skin bag.
It is obviously impossible to make sheep grow fast and not eat grass.
After all, these are all sponsored by the Northern Business Group.
And the ability shown by Miranda is worthy of his cutting.
The loyal servant soon left.
Isaac continued to train his dragonfly children.
Evolutionary hormones, dragon-fly wisdom, and detection of thoughts.
The combination of the three and his training methods, there are already several dragon flies, and some meanings gradually appear in their superficial thoughts.
This is a manifestation of the gradual improvement of intelligence.
Isaac didn't expect them to have high intelligence in the end, as long as they could lead the group without causing any big trouble when he was away.
Half a month later.
His most loyal servant Ku Li personally led a small team to escort a secret box to him.
"Great master..." The loyal servant was excited to see the green dragon again, but at the same time hesitant.
"If you have something to say, just say it!" How could Isaac not understand his expression.
"Yes. That human being is using her master's gold coins to recruit other humans. Now except for assassinations, we are not allowed to do many things. I suspect she has other purposes." As the first servant of the great master , Ku Li felt that it was necessary for him to tell his master all his observations.
If we don’t recruit humans, how can we use you to talk to humans?
Isaac glared at it angrily. After all, he didn't have any expectations for the kobold's IQ: "If you are asked to cooperate with her, you should cooperate well. Besides, you are a dragonborn, so don't stare at those trivial matters. It's all about the little things. It's your greatest responsibility as a Dragonborn to do such an important and critical task as assassination."
Regardless of it, Isaac opened the secret box.
A golden luster immediately caught his eyes.
It is a folded golden scroll.
At first glance, the material looked like gold, but the dragon's sensitivity to gold told him that it was by no means real gold.
When the claws touch it, it looks like a tough material with some flexibility.
No wonder it is called the Golden Skin.
Compared to his huge claws, the scroll was a bit small. To avoid accidentally damaging anything, Isaac uttered a few syllables in his mouth, and an invisible servant quickly formed in front of him.
The servant quickly spread the scroll in front of him.
As if carved on it, an ancient text, the structure of the text has many similarities with dragon language.
As soon as Isaac knew how to read, he wanted to use his "knowledge of language" to accurately interpret it.
But just as he was about to cast it, something happened in his heart, and the pupils in his eyes dilated a little. In line with the legendary vision, some extremely obscure snake-printed seals on the scroll came into his eyes.
Interpretation-proof prohibition!
I don’t know if it was originally there or if it was added by later generations.
With a spell and a magician-like ability, Isaac pointed at him with a "dispel magic".
In the field of vision, all the snake patterns disappeared.
Only then did he start to "know the language" again.
There were many words similar to Dragon Language, and their meanings were clearly presented before Isaac's eyes.
This is a teaching about the "Great Serpent".
It tells that the world was born from the "snake of the universe". Snakes are the original descendants of the giant snake of the universe. They are the incarnation of life and the sacred manifestation of the great snake.
Through the embrace of the Great Serpent, true wisdom will be gained.
Life is another transformation that will ultimately lead to the embrace of the Serpent of the World.
However, after reading it, there was something strange in Isaac's eyes. No wonder such faith would eventually lose its response.
Behind this teaching, "flying snakes, green dragons, black dragons, Medusas, shadow flies, shadow worms, and all sneaking or crawling reptiles" are all regarded as servants of the "Great Serpent".
Not to mention that the green dragon has always been the child of the great dragon queen, nor that the green dragon is a dragon and has nothing to do with your snake. Let’s just say that flying snakes dare to climb into the green dragon and the black dragon. Front?
"To slander the Green Dragon is to slander the Great Dragon Queen. The Great Dragon Queen has been slandered. As her most beloved child, she must not let this go!"
