Because they were old friends, the lord asked directly: "I heard that your magic experiment is still missing some important potions?"
"Ah, yes, my lord. I need 'cloud emulsifier' and 'green dust'." Palace Mage Velandria blurted out. Apparently this was a problem that had troubled her for a long time.
"If I remember correctly, the green dust comes from the mushroom saplings on the Shivering Island?" the lord asked with a smile.
"Mushroom saplings in the fanatical area." Court mage Velandria corrected him almost subconsciously. This also means that she has indeed looked for clues about the required magical materials.
It is said that Mushroom Tree Saplings are all over Shivering Island. Green Dust is a powerful drug that can be extracted from saplings within the Frenzy Zone. Seedlings in dementia areas also produce dangerous black tar, a toxin in both solid and liquid forms that can be collected from trees or hanging branches.
As the realm of annihilation of the mad god Sheogorath, the Trembling Island is divided into two realms: Mania and Dementia, which respectively correspond to the embodiment of the "concept" of madness. Because the God of Madness and the God of Order are two sides of the same body, these two gods take turns controlling the body, resulting in seriousness, solemnity, and lawfulness at one moment, and madness, indulgence, and chaos at the next. In other words, the two sub-domains of fanaticism and dementia can be regarded as the embodiment of the mad god Sheogorath and the god of order Jegallag. These two completely different and conflicting godheads share a realm of annihilation: the Trembling Island, so the Trembling Island has long been divided between fanaticism and dementia.
"Then what is 'cloud emulsifier'?" The housekeeper took the place of the lord and distracted the court mage Velandria's attention and defensiveness.
"Ah, that's the Sea Slug Astral Nodule, another important potion made using a method similar to making Slod soap." The reset vigilance made the court mage Wei Randria did not hide it: "But the sea slugs on the mainland have also completely lost their traces."
Sea slugs are the rarer cousins of slugs. However, the exact relationship between the two is still unknown. Hythrod looks very similar to Throd, except that Hythrod is purple in color and has a pair of tentacles on the top of his head (like a sea hare).
Unlike the rumored androgynous Slod, Hysrod is divided into male and female, although ordinary people cannot tell the difference in appearance and can only distinguish them by their voices. The Hythrodians all speak Tamriel, and in battle chant mysterious incantations in their own language whose meaning no one knows.
Otherwise, the sea slugs are almost identical to their cousins, equally ruthless, equally eager to invade Summerset, and equally clumsy in their movements and powerful in their spells. Hythrod's hometown is not in the Terras Islands, but in an underwater kingdom called "Ul'vor Kus". However, for this kingdom, mainland scholars only know the name. Don't know anything else at all.
In terms of magical abilities, Hythrod is even better than Throd. The difference with Throd is that Hythrod does not often use necromancy, but is keen on some Tamriel people who have never used necromancy. He has seen magic, such as manipulating the mysterious "Abyssal Pearl", a huge pearl-shaped magic sphere. Hythrod can control them to emit arcane aurora, impact enemies or summon the abyssal sea monster Yaghra. : "The Way". They live on the island of Artium in the Summerset Islands. The Psijic order selects its members through "a complex, ritualized method that is incomprehensible to ordinary people." Although the Psijics are reclusive, But their members can be recognized by their unique clothes, hence the more familiar nickname "Grey Cloaks") There is no way to explain the structure of this pearl", making people fall into the mental trap of endless nightmares, or Extremely powerful shadow magic, etc. In addition, in addition to casting spells with both arms, Hythrod can also cast spells with the tentacles on his head.
There is no record of the sea slugs in Tamriel's official history. They seem to have never launched large-scale collective attacks like their "cousin" Throd, but in the eyes of Summerset Island and the Psijics , even if one appears, Hythrod is a terrifying name that surpasses Amor and Slod. The currently known Hythrods are extremely powerful, and have even repeatedly threatened the Psijics' home island of Artaeum.
Some time after 2E 582, a Hythrod named K'Tora and three demons: Clavicus Vile, the demon of power, summoning, wish and bargaining, After reaching an agreement with Nocturnal, Mephala assisted the Three Demon Gods in invading Summerset Island and the Crystal Tower. Although Kutara was finally paralyzed by the Soulless Man using an artifact staff, his influence on Artim was The attack nearly killed the Psijic leader, Ritemaster Lachesis.
At the same time, the Sons of the Sky (Gryphon) Knights captured a female Hythrod named Z'Maja and brought her back to Cloud's Breath City to be imprisoned. However, she was attacked by Z'Maja. Through trickery, through powerful shadow magic, Zemaga knocked down and controlled three of the four Sons of the Sky. Zemaga then took control of the entire Cloud's Rest City, where he intended to release a shadow that would cover the entire Summerset Island. magic. In the end, the Soulless Ones defeated Zemaga with the help of the surviving Sons of the Sky, but all three controlled members died in the battle, and the inheritance of the Sons of the Sky was almost cut off.
According to the court mage Velandria, the mental knots of the sea slugs come from the sea slug neural tree (Sea Sload neural tree).
Has a strong affinity to magical elements. Like all powerful magical species, fragile nerves are their greatest weakness. It's like the powerful Kutara was paralyzed by a soulless man using an artifact staff and died.
Judging from the source material missing important potions from these two experiments, this magical experiment is obviously related to the spirit.
So the question is: "Vellandria, what do you want to do with them?"
"Use them..." The court mage just stood up, and his eyes were filled with strange light: "Come to connect to my domain. First time meeting, Lord Ximu, Baron."
"Hello, Sheogorath." The Lord was not surprised. Memory copies related to it also began to appear out of thin air. Obviously, in the old adventures, it was impossible for the Lord to avoid crossing paths with the Mad God Sheogorath.
"Please forgive me for coming uninvited." The mad god who occupied the consciousness of court mage Velandria looked at the lord with a calm and steady look: "Moreover, please forgive me for being direct: How can I become yours?" goddess?"
"Serve my law, both body and soul." The Lord's answer was straightforward.
The Lord has always believed that there may be only a thin line between genius and madness. The only difference is: one we can understand, the other we cannot.
