Even Isaac must admit that the power of this drow clan is beyond his expectation.
I'm afraid, even if it's an entanglement talisman, it's nothing more than that.
Moreover, from what Barrett said, this drow clan believes in the "Masked King" Velen.
Although Eilistraee's brother is a god from the evil camp, he has always opposed the Spider Queen's teachings and has been guiding the drow toward unity.
Precisely because of this, this drow dragon clan has an atmosphere of unity that is far different from that of drow society.
This unity…
Isaac even felt that if the Entangling Talisman really fought with them, I'm afraid that in the end, the Entangling Talisman would take the initiative to give in to them.
After all, those talisman masters are not so harmonious!
As Barrett continued to introduce, the kobolds around him couldn't help but change their colors. However, with the great master in front, none of them made any unnecessary noise.
"What does the secret you mentioned have to do with them?"
After Barrett's side, all the eight elders of the Jezlade clan were introduced.
Although Isaac frowned, he finally spoke out.
Barrett described these drow dragons as so powerful, but they were still enthusiastic about the established plan.
From this alone, Isaac knew that he must have other plans, and it was definitely not to fight the drow dragon face to face!
And the starting point... not surprisingly, it is exactly what he mentioned before, the secrets related to the drow.
"As you also know, in recent years, the Spider Queen has been silent repeatedly, and from time to time there has been a phenomenon of being unable to grant magical powers. This not only makes the drow themselves fearful, but also filled with all kinds of doubts internally, along with the darkness. The underground races in the region also began to look at them with covetous eyes..."
The drow have always been full of desire to conquer the outside world, but when problems arise with the Spider Queen, the spider queen priests who rule drow society, especially the matrons, will lose their power from time to time...
This phenomenon is in reverse.
"In the past two years that I have been 'wandering' in the Northern Underdark, I have discovered that not only important drow cities such as Cheed-Nazar and Eredlin, but also underground races including gray dwarves, are encountered from time to time. Due to the invasion, even Menzoberranzan has seen frequent riots, and even most of the riots are happening within them. The matrons have become increasingly unable to suppress this wave..."
"And by comparing the changes in several dungeons at different times, I made some other discoveries."
Barrett has been wandering around the Dark Region for nearly two years, for the purpose of observation, and with his own strength, plus the intelligence network of the Dark Night Sect...
Although it is not said that everything went smoothly, there is no doubt that some of the things he observed were much deeper and more detailed than those of the drow matrons who were working independently.
"I compared the three underground cities, the multiple riots that broke out in the three drow cities of Cheed-Nazar, Eredlin, and Darth Cleans, and I made some discoveries that are connected in series. Some of the powerful drow assassins all have obviously similar fighting styles."
"After observing these people, I discovered that they are from the same force, and are deeply rooted in the darkness of many drow cities."
"When the Spider Queen frequently behaves abnormally, they are beginning to become active."
When Barrett said this, Isaac naturally understood what he was referring to.
These were deeply hidden in many drow cities, but they became active at this time. They clearly had the power to challenge the dominance of the drow matron. And speaking out at this time, except for the drow dragon clans in Dragon Shadow City, how could it be possible? Anyone else?
And if Barrett regards this discovery as the starting point of their planned plan...
There was a hint of contemplation in Isaac's eyes: "What do you mean, sit back and watch them and the Spider Queen Church move towards a full-scale war step by step?"
He used a "sit back and watch."
Just sit back and watch, so that no one will notice it in advance.
Without being noticed in advance, only in this way can we seize the best opportunity to study those drow dragons at the critical moment.
Of course, there is no doubt about the power of the Drow Dragon Clan.
But in the Northern Underdark, those drow city-states that believe in the Spider Queen and are headed by Menzoberranzan are also extremely powerful.
Especially the city of Menzoberranzan. Even though Isaac is active in the southern continent, he still has heard and understood the drow archmage of Menzoberranzan to a considerable extent.
That person's extraordinary attainments in the field of magic are probably comparable to those of Kelben and others.
If the Jezlade clan wants to overthrow the Spider Queen's rule, Menzoberranzan is the most important key, and if Menzoberranzan is to be captured...
Even the drow matron over there will most likely lose most of her power because of the Spider Queen's silence.
But with that great mage, everything is still so easy.
Especially...the viciousness of the Spider Queen. Who can really be sure whether she has truly fallen into silence, or whether she has spread her net and is waiting for someone to jump in?
Those drow dragons are not absolutely sure, and they may not dare to show up in Menzoberranzan.
So, this isn't going to happen too fast.
They chose to launch riots in multiple cities at the same time, and even attracted evil races other than the drow. This should also be a trial.
"That's what I thought, so I have been patiently observing them during this period."
"but……"
Barrett looked at Isaac, and in his dark eyes, some gleaming light flowed out: "After learning about your Majesty's achievements here, I have some other ideas."
"explain!"
"The power of the Jezlade clan itself is not enough to shake the Spider Queen's belief in the overall rule of drow society. It is they who only focus on assassinations and attacks to cause riots, rather than comprehensively conduct an army attack."
"When it comes to large-scale military battlefields, they often mobilize or hire other forces, such as gray dwarves or even orcs, to form armies to truly invade drow cities."
"And if, under your majesty, the Flagellation Legion marches northward into the Northern Dark Territory..."
Barrett's voice stopped.
But the meaning of his words had already been revealed.
Jezlade lacks real military power, and even the followers of the Masked King do not have much of a large army. After all, the true leader of drow society has always been the Spider Queen.
In the absence of military strength in Longying City, if the Flagellation Legion really marches north...
Isaac pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
He naturally understood what Barrett meant.
If the Flagellant Legion were to advance north... I'm afraid those drow dragons would take the initiative to negotiate without him having to contact them.
Isaac could even estimate their rhetoric.
It's nothing more than that the Northern Underdark is in the hands of the Demon Web Empire headed by Menzoberranzan. This time it was the Spider Queen's silence that caused the turmoil.
Once the Spider Queen's silence ends, the Demon Web Empire will inevitably regain its strength.
Take advantage of her illness and kill her.
Everyone joins forces to overthrow all drow cities before the Spider Queen is revived.
Even if Hellgate is strong enough and you are the boss, Menzoberranzan can be yours, and so on!
It must be said that Barrett's consideration is quite appropriate.
On one hand, Barrett can sit back and watch.
On the other hand, he only needs to go out and wait for him to come to him.
Combining these two aspects...
Not to mention that he could pay close attention and legitimately investigate all aspects of Long Cinema without arousing more suspicion from them. After all, they were the ones who came here on their own initiative. How could he not investigate?
more importantly……
Menzoberranzan!
The Masked King and the Spider Queen!
That person is nominally silent, but is it possible that Isaac's relationship with Eilistraee, as well as information about him from other levels, and the transformation, or sublimation, of the Spider Queen... can be interrupted?
What Isaac was pondering and thinking about was more about this.
Of course, after all considerations, once the Spider Queen learns about the Dugas in his hands, he will definitely become her target, and there is nothing wrong with that, but...
Isaac wasn't too arrogant yet, so he stood directly opposite the Spider Queen.
This kind of thing...
"It's better to follow the steps of the Masked King!"
"With Him in front, the Spider Queen will look at Him first even if nothing happens in the end."
"I just don't know..."
He thought briefly in his mind, but then he thought of Eilistraee again.
Viren will attack the Spider Queen at this time, and the impulsive girl will not be left behind.
I just don’t know whether He in the material world will also reach out to the Northern Dark Territory, or whether He will carry out other aspects through Sunflower Dew...
"Um?"
Just as he was thinking about this, a sudden thought came to him, which even made his eyes jump.
He reached out to the material world and saw the dew. Was this... pointing at him?
Is this a premonition that he will play a key role in certain events?
This premonition...
It shouldn’t come from an impulsive girl!
Are they some of His allies in Sylderin?
Or... that lady?
Isaac's eyes twitched as a result of his thoughts, and then he frowned several times.
If these guesses and conjectures are possible...
His mind stirred again, and he had some potential premonitions about his appearance in Hell Gate Castle, and furthermore, about encountering Alisa and Kenil Walker, and about them. At this time, they were also combined, and there were more idea.
Some thought.
Gradually, his expression calmed down.
Having been waiting for his response, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief. He had a feeling that there should be no problem.
"It's a good idea to whip the Legion northward, and it's not abrupt. They have always had a strategy of heading northward."
"I will introduce someone to you later. She can cooperate with you in all your negotiations with the Flagellation Legion."
In Isaac's mind, although he had more ideas about the northward march.
However, he is still not ready to show up in person for the time being.
Whether he was pointing at the drow dragons or Menzoberranzan, he hadn't arrived yet and walked out of the darkness.
There is no need for him to leave now. The Flagellation Legion is powerful and there are many tanar'ri demons. Even if needed, not only the four tanar'ri giants, but also Kenil Walker, who is still imprisoned by him. , and the demon hag, he also had a rough idea in his mind on how to use it.
With such power and so many strong men, we really need to use them all...
Excluding the magical influence of the Spider Queen, Menzoberranzan cannot stop the drow matrons now that they have lost their power.
Barrett nodded in agreement.
However, there were some things that he was not done with yet.
Since Isaac agreed to his plan, it can be foreseen that the contact with Dragon Film City will soon enter the formal stage.
From his long-term observations of those drow assassins, he has vaguely touched on some secrets that have not yet been confirmed. It is time to reveal them and let Isaac make his own judgment.
After all, when it comes to the magic field, his judgment is definitely not as accurate as Isaac's.
"There is one more thing. It is a secret that I have noticed but have never been able to confirm."
Barrett said: "I have been observing those assassins for a long time. From some of them, some of them should be followers of the Masked King, I vaguely heard something that seemed to involve high elven magic. These The drow are suspected to be conducting evil research related to high elven magic."
Do drow study high elven magic?
Isaac's eyes flashed, and his first reaction was naturally to deny the authenticity of this secret.
At least in his theoretical system, the high magic of elves can only be mastered by elves. The drow elves have long been submerged and have been effectively kicked out of the elves. Naturally, it is impossible to master the real high magic of elves.
But then...
His heart suddenly moved again.
There is absolutely no doubt that it is impossible for drow to cast high elven magic.
but……
"Followers of Velen!"
A thoughtful look in his heart gradually appeared in his eyes.
First of all, the "unity" advocated by Velen is related to the humanistic background required for high magic.
Secondly, in Velen’s own words…
Velen is Eilistraee's brother and the son of the Elven Lord. Before he was exiled, he was also one of Sildrin's core gods.
If he knew the true essence of the elves' high magic... Isaac would at least not directly veto it.
Sylderin can create a "high magic system". With this background, if Velen can use divine power to help his followers... Even if this is not truly high magic, some results of similar nature cannot be absolute. Denied!
If this secret is true...
Isaac's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
If this is true, even if its essence is inferior to high magic, Isaac is sure that it should be better than real high magic, even if Valermo's reverse analysis of the "high energy core" has Breakthroughs must be much more meaningful.
Creating a new system is a real demonstration of practical ideas!
If this idea can be absorbed and even integrated into his own magic system...
"It's quite interesting!"
Isaac deliberately hid behind the scenes and took his time to observe everything.
There are some more considerations in my mind.
And the decision was made quickly.
