"no problem!"
The man Laila called "Mut" was a middle-aged man as fat as a bucket.
Just looking at his body shape and appearance, this obese middle-aged man is obviously extremely bloated and weak.
However, from now on, this long-distance emergency trip can be done with ease and flexibility. What's more, Laila didn't ask anyone else, but gave him the temporary command of the team...
Mutt, a well-known businessman in Waterdeep City, is known as the "money lender".
Of course, this "business identity" and the title of "money lender" are all now.
If it had been more than ten or twenty years earlier, Mutt's other name, the name "The Heartless", would have been equally famous not only in Waterdeep City, but also in Amn, Tethyr, and Calinsay.
Especially since he is not alone, he is part of a team of adventurers with him as the core.
The owner of the Yawning Hotel, although he was not at the legendary level, but he was not much different from the high-level warrior Du Nan, was one of them.
At this time, Dunan was also here.
Both of them are masked lords of Waterdeep City. They have a very close relationship with the Black Staff Tower. They are deeply trusted by Kelben and Lyla. They will naturally not be left behind to reinforce Efraska.
In addition, Mutt also has a former teammate who is also his lover. To be more precise, the lady who is his former lover is Isaac and Barrett. These are not strangers.
Of course it was that one, and the grown-up little Heath was none other than the sweet and fiery singing lady, Mrs. Eileen.
But this time, Ms. Gelong did not join the team here.
It's not that Laila no longer trusts her, or that Songlong is not qualified to join such a team, but... Although the situation in Efraska is extremely urgent, Efraska is not the only one in the world. Ska is important.
On the Amn and Baldur's Gate side, the "Children of Conspiracy" incident, which is directly related to Hiss, is also urgent.
In addition, the team formation this time was not only kept secret enough from the beginning to avoid being noticed by the "Lord of Symbols" and other forces.
The departure this time was even more hasty. It almost meant departure. It was about to leave immediately. Naturally, it was impossible to summon Ms. Song Long, who should still be there in Amn.
Mutt took over the command of Laila naturally, and did not ask further where Laila was going alone.
He just needs to confirm one thing, Laila will never trick them!
Not only Mutt, but everyone here, even the dwarf illusionist who was naturally suspicious, and even the drow elves and half-giants, absolutely trusted this.
"Then it's up to you!"
"If there is an emergency, please call my name as soon as possible!"
They are not hesitant people.
As Laila quickly explained some things, Mutt and others continued to move quickly, and soon disappeared deep into the forest.
And seeing them go away...
"Hope everything goes well!"
There was a rare solemnity in Laila's slightly twinkling eyes.
The High Forest was not a good place for her.
Although she once led the "Nine People" and occupied a place in the Supreme Forest, she also discovered many ancient secrets.
However, the "Nine People" eventually collapsed and even died. What happened next was the darkest experience in her life.
If possible, she hoped that she would set foot in the Supreme Forest again for revenge.
But unfortunately, whether it was the battle between Hell Gate Castle and Erlan, or the war between Efraska and Felin Demon Kui, it was impossible for her to really ignore it.
And whether it's pointing at Hellgate Castle or the Phayling Demon Sunflower...
"Ovo!"
In Laila's eyes, there was an unforgettable hatred, and at the same time, there was also a taboo!
She is very clear about the power and terror of the "Immortal".
In fact, she was sure that the "Immortal" at this time had already known about the changes under the Eno Oak Desert, and then about Efraska.
After all, the Felin Demon Kui is not just the enemy of elves, but also the "Immortal", the mortal enemy of the great arcanist of the ancient magic kingdom. How could Ovo not pay any attention to that side?
And since Owo most likely already knows about Efraska's incident...
Laila was almost certain that at this time, this ancient lich was already secretly waiting for her and Kelben to arrive!
It was precisely for this reason that she kept all her whereabouts secret as much as possible. Even the first batch of activated teams, the most powerful and elite, were all equipped with "anti-detection" and "anti-prophecy" magic equipment. .
However, no matter how thorough the preparations are,...
Putting aside the "Immortal's" magical attainments, no matter how prepared you are, it is impossible to completely hide it from him.
Simply put, whether it is Hellgate Castle or the Flynn Demon Sunflower, if they want to join in such a war, how could the "Immortal" not be aware of it once the fight actually breaks out?
"I'm afraid, he has been looking this way for a long time!"
"even……"
The solemn look in Laila's eyes became deeper and deeper.
The waiting of the "Immortal" would basically be correct. But what bothered her even more than this reality was...
"He and Hellgate Castle..."
"Again, the matter of Efraska..."
The eyes flashed continuously, and the color kept changing.
Some extremely obscure magical auras were stirring in Laila's body.
No matter what, it was necessary for her to meet that person in advance.
Presumably, that person meant the same thing!
Otherwise... Kui Lu has said that war is inevitable, but that one has still not dealt a devastating blow to the Yeerlan coalition until now.
Laila felt that if nothing else happened, this should be the attitude of the person waiting for her!
After a few flashes of inspiration, Laila's figure disappeared into the air.
…
And the other side.
Under the deep tunnel of Hell Gate Castle, a place has just been opened and the shape has been stabilized with magic, barely enough space for the prototype of the hall.
"I see."
"Looking at it this way, Warilmore is not considered insane. He has his own purpose for worshiping Ghaunadaur."
Within the main hall.
Isaac was flipping through some information, combined with some special instruments on the ground, and gradually, some understanding appeared on his face, and he even let out a slight sigh of admiration.
Ghaunadaur, this is the name of the "Ancient Eye".
Ordinary people, if they are not his followers, will definitely be targeted by this demon god if they directly say this name.
However, Isaac is naturally not among them.
Not to mention the constant "Legendary Hidden" effect on him, just because of the nature of the God-Sealed Dragon, he can speak the name of the demon at will without fear of being sensed by it.
Of course, he doesn't care, but others here don't, let alone dare to "blaspheme" like this.
"Valermore has another purpose?"
"What the teacher means, is his purpose also related to here?"
"Can the power of the Ancient Eye also affect the elves' high magic?"
Alyssa's slightly curious voice sounded from one side.
At this time, the Flo Demon army was already a general, and everything that Isaac was interested in, whether it was direct research records or related ritual instruments, as long as it could be transported, basically everything was transported.
Also returning at the same time were Alyssa and Barrett.
As for the demon elves headed by Thalia, and the tanar'ri headed by Marina, especially the succubi, they continue to clean up Port Aven.
After all, that port town has been the base of the Frosin family for many years, and it has considerable material reserves. Since it has been exposed this time, Thalia and the others will naturally clean up all the materials thoroughly, and even transport them again. Come to Hellgate Castle.
As for Marina and the others, they are also staying there...not to mention whether Talia can be completely trusted by them. Most of the demon elves there have just surrendered and have just recognized Thalia as the leader of the family. They Of course, we must continue to maintain sufficient deterrence against that side.
"Don't underestimate Ghaunadaur!"
"Although this Ancient Eye is only a weak divine power now, its ancientness is far beyond our imagination."
Isaac said with a slight nod.
In the underground hall, apart from him and a group of loyal servants, there were only Alyssa and Barrett.
He didn't mind talking a little more and mentioning the cheap students a little bit.
Of course, his "underestimating" statement...
Alyssa and Barrett have no right to underestimate a true god.
Isaac was talking, and they, including all the kobold loyal servants, immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
"Legend has it that the Ancient Eye was once an elemental god in the inner elemental plane. After he walked out of the inner plane and completely degenerated into a god of the chaotic evil camp, the priesthood of the 'mud element' that he held was in line with the ' Chaos' and 'evil' are perfectly combined into 'blasphemy' and 'gooey monster', becoming the racial god of all 'ooze' creatures.
Valermore will worship him because he is seeking his "blasphemous" divine power, trying to overcome the restrictions on the use of the "high energy core" through the relevant "blasphemous rituals", and then regain control of high magic. The power is no longer just a fantasy! "
During the days when he was married to Eilistraee, out of curiosity about Maierita and Eilistrae, Isaac also had a lot of knowledge about the gods related to the dark elves during that period.
At that time, in the main belief of the Irisri dark elves, there was this "Ancient Eye"!
Even the spider queen's predecessor, when she was the queen of the elven god, seduced the evil gods who tried to overthrow the elven god, and there was also this one among them!
And after the formation of the drow pantheon, this one has always been Eilistraee's mortal enemy!
From Eilistraee's side, Isaac is naturally familiar with him.
Legend has it that in the ancient times when Eilistraee had only heard of it, this "Ancient Eye" was not even just a "weak divine power".
Although I don’t know what caused His downgrade, but...
"His antiquity is coupled with his targeted 'blasphemous' power..."
"Valermo, if he is unable to carry out the corruption ritual through the Dark Sky, and tries to use his 'blasphemous power' to replace the original evil of the Dark Sky, and then changes the corruption ritual..."
Isaac's eyes flashed slightly, but he also wanted to praise Valermo.
Although, even he, without actual manipulation, could not be sure that Valermo or other ancestors of the Flosin family would be able to complete the corruption of the "high-energy core" through this research.
But there is no doubt that the correct choice of target, with the blasphemous divine power of Ghaunadaur as its source, this corrupting ritual may not be without the possibility of success.
And once it really succeeds...
"Unsurprisingly, the original 'corruption ritual' is mostly related to the bloodline of the Drazogis family. Therefore, only by being able to complete this ritual, the Drazojis family can control the high-energy core. And then have the ability to perform 'high-level magic'."
"And Valermore's research is precisely to break through this limitation!"
After briefly mentioning Alyssa, Isaac's attention quickly turned to the Frosin family's years of research data.
Although people like Warilmore don't think much of them in his eyes.
However, after all, the Frosin family was inherited from the Erevanda era, especially during the Siluwanad Kingdom era, and also received support from the Drazogis family, so it still has its own heritage.
Among these research materials, there are not only information related to "corruption rituals" and "high magic", but at the same time, there are also records related to "evil rituals" unique to the "Eye of the Ancients" sect...
These information may not have any direct impact on Isaac himself.
However, when he reaches his level, and with his extraordinary intelligence, he often only needs a little new direction, which is enough for him to expand infinitely.
It took quite a while to read through.
Gradually, Isaac's eyes narrowed.
In the soul, from the wheel of heaven that still reflects the "dark sky", the endless burst of bright light of wisdom, and even the original darkness, are constantly penetrating...
"In the final analysis, the reason why the 'High Energy Core' has an essence similar to that of a sacred weapon is that their creation combines the 'High Priest' to call upon the power of the Elf God through rituals, and the 'High Mage' joins forces. Bind part of your own essence to this divine power!"
"And the 'corruption ritual'... this 'corruption' does not point to the 'elven power'!"
If the elves' divine power is corrupted, can the controller of the "high-energy core" be allowed to use evil divine power to cast high magic?
Obviously, this is impossible!
Therefore, it should be more...
"What needs to be corrupted is the essence of those 'high mages' that are bound to the 'elven power'!"
"After completing the corruption of 'them', and then through the consistency between 'them' and the elves' divine power, and then the synchronization with the 'high magic environment', we can continue to perform 'high-like magic'!"
Of course, to put it bluntly, maybe it's simplicity.
However, let’s not talk about the extraordinary nature of the “Elven High Mage”. How difficult it is to corrupt them. What is even more difficult is that “they” are bound to the elves’ divine power!
In Isaac's estimation, such "elven power" is probably not from the "Elf Lord", but at least it must be the "Daughter of the Night Sky" with medium power!
In such a "divine environment", the difficulty of corrupting the extraordinary essence of "Mage Gao" is naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"Get rid of Ghaunadaur first!"
Valermore wanted the Ancient Eye's blasphemous power, but Isaac didn't care.
"With the 'Dark Sky' of the 'original evil'... it is possible to complete the corruption, control this 'high energy core', and then control the lives of these tanar'ri, and at the same time create something similar to the lower level. The evil environment of the plane gives them the ability to further increase the intensity of their demonic nature even if they do not return to the abyss!"
"However, in this case... we have to prepare for the creation of one more 'demi-plane'!"
"also……"
"'Dark Sky' can become the source of corruption. Theoretically, 'Dragon Origin' also has the ability to make similar changes to it!"
Isaac's eyes slowly opened.
In addition to this, in his hand is the "high-energy core" that is about to be obtained.
The "Tekira Stone" that has been sealed, and the "Elf Holy Sword" that is even higher quality, are also essentially similar to the "High Energy Core".
"Use a high-energy core to integrate into the demiplane base of Hell Gate Castle!"
"The Stone of Tekira is the creative core of the Eternal Wheel!"
"If these two can be completed successfully..."
A blazing light shone in Isaac's eyes.
Vaguely, he could gradually see the direction of the creation of the "high-level magic system".
"Well!"
"Is it finally here?"
Just like this, he had a clear understanding and actually constructed the idea of "corruption ritual".
Suddenly, a strange color flashed across Isaac's eyes.
