Chapter 1190 Crisis and Opportunity

"Balance the earth veins? Are you fooling a fool?" The masked king snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know the range of lava activities. My city is not on a volcano, and it is not far from the ground. How could there be magma activities?

You clearly did it on purpose, using magma as a weapon!

It is undeniable that this weapon is extremely powerful for the creatures in the dark area.

But before that, are you sure you can withstand the war of revenge?

Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the protection of Mother Earth. If I launch a war of revenge, she will also be restricted by the Council of Gods and cannot intervene!"

"This is really just a misunderstanding!" This time it was no longer the Earth Bear who spoke, but Gavin who was teleported.

He explained sincerely, "We are exploring a new way to stabilize the earth veins. Passing through your city was completely an accident. We are fixing this error.

Even if you don't show up, the earth veins will be moved within an hour and will no longer pose a threat to your city."

"Ha..." Viren couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect that the road builder was so good at sophistry. Did you plan to change the route before I showed up, or did you decide because of my appearance? Only you know it best.

I still say that, don't treat others as fools, especially don't treat the gods as fools .

Mortals have their own rules, and gods have their own rules.

When you cross the line, it means that others can do the same. "

Gavin put on a teaching look and said: "We were indeed reckless in this matter. Please give us a chance to make up for our mistakes.

We owe you a favor.

As long as it does not violate our core interests, we will help you once.

I believe that Lord Velen has seen Lord Beare's ability in magma.

He can protect your city from the troubles of ground vein fluctuations and have the opportunity to save it from volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. "

If you are wrong, you must admit it, and you must stand at attention when you are beaten.

Guiding the lava ground veins to attack the drow city is indeed a reckless act after they have gained powerful power.

Forgot that these cities have the protection of their own gods.

They will not sit idly by and watch their believers' cities being destroyed so easily.

Unless they are ready to launch a full-scale war of gods and face the full revenge of the other gods.

For ordinary people, the attack from the incarnation of the gods is like a nuclear strike from another world. Even the lowest level incarnation is devastating.

It is not difficult to hear from the words of the Masked Lord that the gods have a convention on this matter.

They are not allowed to easily intervene in the secular war.

Once someone violates this convention, whether it is good or evil, they will be hostile and sanctioned by the gods.

This is the greatest and best protection for this world and its believers.

This can be fully referenced by the turmoil that Gavin and his team had previously stirred up in the territory of the Dark Prince Grazite. In front of a group of demigods and demon incarnations, even those legendary demons with a great reputation are just a group of high-level cannon fodder.

And those ordinary demons can only struggle in pain and become the spoils of the winner.

Mortals are more fragile than those demons.

Since I have now been promoted to a demigod, I naturally have to follow this convention, not for myself, but for my people and believers.

"Not enough, far from enough." The scarlet light in the eyes of the masked lord kept jumping, and his anger was obviously not so easy to calm down.

"What else do you want for compensation?" Gavin asked patiently.

Lion Velen said loudly: "Withdraw from the Mir Forest and hand over Misnoel, and I will forgive your ignorant behavior."

"Don't push it too far." Gavin's expression suddenly turned cold, "We admit that we were wrong first, but it doesn't mean that we can make unlimited concessions.

Since Lord Velen is unwilling to give up, let us talk with war.

Let's see whether we will uproot all your cities first? Or you will kill all our forces in Faerun first!"

He directly summoned the War Plunderer, leaning on the ground with both hands, the Shadow Castle looming behind him, and his left hand lit up with an abnormal blood color.

The Earth Bear silently drilled back into the Earth Stone, and the disturbance from the underground represented his support for Gavin.

Compared with the direct battle with Velen's divine incarnation, the Earth Bear's combat power underground is stronger.

Once the war breaks out, Iskayuer City will definitely bear the brunt and become a thing of the past in a minute.

Gavin and his men had not done anything completely before, they just used the lava of the earth veins to attack it, and did not directly use their divine power to attack.

Although they did not know the existence of the Covenant of the Gods before, they were also a little cautious and wanted to test the power of the lava of the earth veins and the reaction of those drow elves.

"Things haven't come to this point yet." The goddess of wealth, Wakin, came out of Gavin's body again and said, "Once you start a full-scale war, it will only benefit the Spider Queen. I believe she will wake up laughing in her dreams.

Both Misnoel and Iskayuer City are what she wants.

Why don't both sides take a step back and shake hands and make peace based on the conditions previously offered by the road builder?

Although the road builders were wrong first, they did not cause irreparable losses. A small punishment will be enough, not a big one."

"It's the Lady of Fortune!" The Masked Lord nodded to Wakin and said, "For the lady's sake, this matter ends here."

Viren naturally understood the principle of taking advantage of the situation.

He was not ready for a full-scale war with the other party.

The goddess of fortune seemed neutral and fair, but her words were very biased, and she was obviously taking sides.

If a fight really broke out, the other party would definitely stand on the other side instead of himself.

After all, his theft priesthood was originally in conflict with the other party's wealth priesthood.

Mask, the god of thieves, was the only open enemy of the goddess of fortune Wakin. While stealing the power of the Lord of Shadows, he must also bear the hostility from his enemies.

His lion's mouth was a tactical strategy, in order to hide his fundamental purpose-saving the city of Iskayuor, which was in danger.

"Wait..." Gavin spoke again.

The Masked Lord's expression turned cold and he said, "What? Do you want to go back on your word?"

"Sir Velen misunderstood." Gavin took the initiative to put away the War Predator and said with a smile, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, can we sit down and talk about cooperation?"

"Cooperation? What can we cooperate on?" The Masked Lord obviously couldn't keep up with Gavin's way of thinking.

After all, half a minute ago, they were still on the verge of a full-scale war of gods, and how come they turned around and talked about cooperation again?

"Why not?" Gavin showed his character of being able to squeeze oil out of stones to the fullest, "I believe we can reach a consensus on the attitude towards the Spider Queen. No one wants her to become powerful, but her influence in the underground of Calimshan is increasing day by day.

This will not only threaten you, but also us, especially after we start a large-scale development of the Marching Mountains, we will inevitably face her conspiracy and tricks!"

The chaos and evil of those evil gods are also divided into different levels.

Compared to those good gods, the Masked Lord, who is in charge of theft and evil activities on the surface, is indeed an out-and-out evil god.

But compared to the famous Spider Queen, the actions of the Masked Lord are at best petty evil.

And the Masked Lord Velen has made an indelible contribution to the division of the power of the Spider Queen Lolth.

Under the influence of the Spider Queen, most drow elves are in a matriarchal society, led by the matriarchs of the families and a group of female priests to implement harsh rule. Male drow elves cannot become Lolth priests.

This also leads to them being only high-level vassals and having no way to complete class transition.

This naturally leads to dissatisfaction among those male drow elves, and the Masked Lord Velen is one of them.

Under his leadership, those drow elves who are dissatisfied with the Spider Queen gathered together and began to oppose her tyrannical rule.

At the beginning, there were mostly male drow elves, and in the end, many women joined in.

The followers of the Spider Queen believe in the survival of the fittest. The internal struggle is very cruel and bloody. Only a few can climb to high positions, and most of them are stepping stones underfoot.

When they see no hope in life, it is natural for them to join the embrace of the Masked Lord who pursues equal rights for men and women.

In addition, the Masked Lord, like his sister, the Dark Maiden Eilistraee, is also an advocate of the return of the drow elves to the ground.

The only difference is that Eilistraee adopts a relatively gentle means of integration, proving to the races on the ground, especially the elves, that the drow elves are not born evil, and there are kind people among them, eliminating the prejudice of the races on the ground and accepting them again.

The Masked Lord advocates the use of force, believing that as long as the drow elves get rid of internal friction and unite as one, they can rely on their powerful force to regain their own place on the ground.

In particular, the great retreat of the elves emptied countless forests, allowing them to see opportunities.

The drow elves tried to seize Mithnoel for this purpose.

Although they would not have succeeded without Gavin's help - the root of Moandor's god was entrenched there - in the previous life, there was no Lady of Strategy and no Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which had always been entrenched in Mithnoel and corrupted the Mir Forest.

But their voice in Mir Forest will definitely increase significantly, and they will regard it as one of their bases for activities on the ground.

"How are you going to cooperate?" The eyes of the masked lord flickered involuntarily.

He was not surprised that Gavin knew his background.

Many news, which are kept secret for mortals, are almost public for the gods, including his mother, the Spider Queen Rose, who knows all about his little moves behind the scenes.

He can get to this point today, largely because of the connivance of the Spider Queen.

This indulgence does not come from a mother's doting on her son. The Spider Queen does not have such feelings at all.

It is more likely to come from considerations of interests.

Chaos is her greatest source of power. She needs turmoil and chaos, which is also the reason why the drow elves are in serious internal strife.

But those are just small fights. Like the Masked Lord, who tried to lead the male drow elves to overthrow her rule and return to live on the ground, the chaos and turmoil generated in this process will be unprecedented.

Of course, this is just the masked master’s personal speculation.

It's very possible that it's a long way from the truth, and no one can guess the Spider Queen's true thoughts, not even her biological son.

Maybe, she was not doing it for any benefit at all, but simply to satisfy her evil hobbies and to play with her son.

"We can start with preliminary trade exchanges!" Gavin naturally couldn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with the masked lord, and there were still caveats in the cooperation.

"Okay." The Masked Lord nodded readily and agreed, "I will send someone to contact you!"

Velen knew Gavin's thoughts very well, and he just wanted to use his power to contain his mother, the Spider Queen.

The other party is not the first Shen Zhuan to do this, and he is certainly not the last.

And this was his chance to take advantage of it.

Just like when he came, the masked lord Velen left as silently as he came.

When the sun penetrated the darkness again and fell in the city of the earth, he had already returned to the city of Iskayur. He must personally confirm the results of the negotiation just now.

"His Highness is back, I will tell you that His Highness will not give up on us!"

"Welcome Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, the magma no longer melts, your divine power has taken effect."

Seeing the masked lord returning, the masked drow breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. They were really afraid that Velen would abandon them.

If this happens, the only thing they can do is to abandon the city and flee.

The masked lord ignored the drow masked men, but focused on the lava channel in front of him, and his spiritual thoughts spread inside.

Almost immediately, it was confirmed that the other party was not playing tricks. The magma veins had indeed changed their course, at least deviating from this place by more than one kilometer. The divine power belonging to the Earth Bear had been withdrawn from here.

Without the blessing of divine power, the lava itself cannot melt through such a thick layer. After all, this is not an active lava area.

The masked lord then said to the city lord here: "Although I have reached an agreement with the enemy to contain the invasion of magma, the city of Iskayur has been completely exposed to the enemy's sight.

Once the relationship between the two parties deteriorates, they can use the same means to launch an attack here. At that time, I may not have the energy to protect this place.

Therefore, we must prepare early. "

Just like Gavin wouldn't trust the Masked Lord.

Viren will not trust the other party, and acting in secret has always been his ultimate magic weapon to win.

The Silent Black Panther responded respectfully: "I understand. Afterwards, I will contact Lord Masoji, the Blade of Poison, as soon as possible to fully retreat from here and completely abandon this city."

As the exclusive priest of the Masked Lord, he knew Velen’s teachings very clearly, so he naturally hit the mark right away.

"The focus does need to shift, but there is no need to completely abandon this city." The masked lord fully appreciated the other party, "I have reached a trade agreement with the Myth Noel Restarters, and you can try to start trade with them. Come and go.

Now that the city of Iskayur has been exposed to their sight, use it as a bridgehead for trade to see if you can obtain materials from the other party that will allow you to grow and develop. "

"His Highness's methods are indeed extraordinary. Not only can he easily solve our desperate situation, but he can even reach an agreement with the enemy and find opportunities for us to develop." Silent Black Panther praised from the bottom of his heart, "This may be the key to our regaining our importance." Great opportunity to return to life on the ground! ”

"Oh?" The masked master's pupils and hair color had turned blue at some point, revealing a trace of unconcealed exploration, "Are you very familiar with this Mys Noel restarter? "

"Yes, Your Highness." Silent Black Panther replied respectfully, "Our attention to him was before he ascended to godhood.

He originally relied on the power of the divine root that purified Moando to not only integrate the power of humans and natural felines, but even let kobolds and hobgoblins be used for his own purposes.

It took just six months to create an unprecedented path of conquest, and even established cities of different races, mainly kobolds and hobgoblins, in the Giant Plains.

The slogan he put forward was peaceful development and win-win cooperation.

Even those evil races who are willing to follow the legal order he established can join his ranks and live and work in peace and contentment. "

The Silent Black Panther knows Gavin's experience very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that he watched him grow up with his own eyes.

After they failed to compete with him for control of Myth Noel, he was assigned to collect intelligence on the other party to prepare for the future.

It's just that the opponent's development speed is too rapid.

The speed was beyond their imagination, and before they were ready, the other party had already come up with something even more terrifying, making them dare not act rashly.

This time it was even more terrifying. Not only did he directly become a demigod, he even created a new demigod in front of everyone and sent magma to their door. It was completely beyond their ability to resist.

"Peaceful development, win-win cooperation?" The masked master chewed on the meaning of these words, his eyes flashing with unknown meaning and said, "If you have any ideas, just tell me!"

"This..." Silent Black Panther couldn't help but hesitate.

"You can say whatever you want, no matter whether you are right or wrong, I will forgive you." The masked lord saw through the concerns of this senior exclusive priest at a glance.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Silent Black Panther gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, directly revealing his true thoughts, "Can we exchange our freedom of movement on the ground by pledging allegiance to him..."

"Huh?!" Before Silent Black Panther finished speaking, the Masked Lord couldn't help but snort coldly, and a terrifying and cold breath spread out from him.

Silent Black Panther felt that the dark shadows around him seemed to have their own weight, pressing towards him from all directions. (End of this chapter)
