Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2362: Dual Soul Experiment Originated from Plague
If there were still people here paying attention to the interrogation of the prisoner William, they were only 'Yue Xiaoluo' and 'Yu Luo Fanchen' who was hiding in the crowd and remained silent.

The rest of the Black Rose members had no intention of using their brains to listen to this surely long and boring story.

Speaking of which, usually their family relies on 'Yu Luo Fan Chen' and 'Nan Feng', as well as half of the 'Old Sanda King' to deal with these mundane matters.

Of course, if you mention video recording, they will definitely record it, but they won’t listen carefully or analyze it.

Including Mr. 'Perfect Bald', the patriarch of the Black Rose.

The only thing he would do was to place the live camera and let the 'Xueyun Peak' far away in the sky act as the brain.

On the other side, when Hill saw Yue Xiaoluo appear with the Emerald Book in his hand, he knew that no matter what big move Talona had prepared, it would not work now.

Although the 'Old Fighting King' is more suitable for the Emerald Scripture, she prefers the violent nature of the Dawn Fire that burns all evil.

However, 'Yue Xiaoluo' is a paladin who specializes in dispelling.

After all, this girl would go anywhere as long as she was interested.

And in the fantasy world, where mortals stop, what is more needed is the ability to clear negative buffs rather than powerful healing abilities.

'Yue Xiaoluo' basically only has one or two big bonuses and a few continuous recoveries, but she has learned the power of dispelling more profoundly than anyone else.

The Emerald Codex is essentially a bonus to their own abilities... just like if it were someone else, it would be impossible for them to create such a terrible fire.

Talona might be able to hold on by herself, but the others, not even her strongest voters, will have no chance.

But Hill didn't expect that these two guys would be so unlucky... But there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what the Undead did.

Holy magic cannot be cast with evil thoughts.

Even if the priest may have problems with his character, at least when he is healing, he is not thinking about using healing spells to cheat people, but really wants to save people.

Even though the undead have circumvented the laws in many ways, this basic law related to will still has some imprint.

Even though it seems a bit against principle to use holy magic at will against undead creatures, there is actually a reason: every undead burned to death by holy magic will become a rescued soul fire and will be sent directly into the River Styx.

Moreover, on some level, the undead are not really living beings.

Just like when the undead fight each other, many laws will not react... The elemental bodies controlled by the soul projection are just tools that will reappear immediately after being broken.

But when the undead attack creatures from the fantasy world, some basic principles must still be followed.

Anyway, it’s not like holy magic has no way to kill enemies… The fire of light can’t burn the good camp, but they have hammers in their hands.

Therefore, if you want to play with the undead in a fantasy world, the only way is to feed the captives healing potions... not to mention whether there is anyone willing to spend such a huge price, even if there is, it is not possible to feed them whenever you want.

No matter how powerful the alchemist is, he cannot solve the problem of drug resistance.

Although the Undead had captured prisoners in the past, they were all remnants of the aftermath of the battlefield, and basically it was the end. There would definitely not be so many powerful area damage spells echoing on the battlefield... and it was even less likely that there would be so much holy rain that it was impenetrable.

So, this was the first time Hill had seen such a scene, and it was actually a bit difficult to watch... If it happened a few more times, the Undead would probably never be able to take any more prisoners.

Either you fight to the death or you flee.

Thinking of this, Hill felt a hint of pity when he saw the two thieves who answered every question William asked and even rushed to answer, fearing that they would be beaten again.

Fortunately, he quickly suppressed these unnecessary emotions with his reason.

Those followers of Talona and Bane who have reached the point of being chosen must have stepped on the blood and tears of countless innocent people.

Bane's followers might have come to power by overthrowing certain regimes and assassinating certain religious leaders, but the other one must have attracted Talona's attention by spreading plagues.

Talona has always been selfish. She will not reward her believers unless she gets enough divine power as compensation... Giving away even a little bit of divine power is like asking for her life.

Although there are believers who are rewarded for causing trouble for Lovita... and they can even help the good camp for this, which is the only positive behavior that Talona will recognize, but this is basically only possible for people in specific areas, such as near the parish of the Lord of Suffering.

These two indeed took the most vicious route of harming civilians.

After hearing the last sentence, Hill shook his head helplessly.

This world seems to be controlled by the Tower of Xia without any chance of exploitation, but in fact it is full of holes.

Taking advantage of the fact that the demons in the Tower of Xia have their own agendas and trying every possible way to use the local wizards to cause trouble, these evil forces really did a lot of mixing in there.

The battle at the Tower of Defense alone...except for Talona, ​​Vecna, the Witch Queen, and Bane were all involved.

The reason why Talona noticed the Witch Queen's movements in this world was because of the soul experiments this guy conducted.

In Toril, it was difficult to escape Talona's eyes if disease or plague was used, not to mention that she was always paying close attention to the Witch Queen's movements.

But Hill immediately understood why Demogorgon didn't do anything... Although the soul attributes of this world are abnormal, it is really unlike the character of the two-headed baboon to give up without doing a few experiments personally.

Demogorgon was indeed a little crazy, but not crazy enough to directly put germs into his own body. He couldn't even take the first step, so why would he waste time in a world that was useless to him?
Hill suddenly sat up straight... William's question sounded fine, but if you knew him, you would know that it was definitely not his style.

Hill thought seriously for a while before he was sure that William was trying to figure out why this Talona believer insisted on letting the undead and William open the gas cellar.

And why he had to let Bane followers open the lock.

The unfortunate thief from the Bane family also understood this and was staring at the Talona believer with his dead fish eyes.

He didn't need to consider whether Bane, who asked him to help the Talona followers, was planning to let him do this.

The Zhentarim have long been accustomed to the fact that Bane would send them to their deaths... Of course, those who survived the inevitable death would receive very strong praise from the Lord of Tyranny: that was a benefit enough to offset everything.

The Zhentarim will always hate anyone who gave Bane this reason.

Compared to the Zhentarim who have been through hundreds of battles and have been hunted by countless people, the followers of Talona, ​​who rely entirely on hiding and doing bad things in secret, have no resistance at all.

He no longer cared about the minor issue of whether he would be beaten to death by his angry accomplices or the deceived mages if he said everything.

The Talona believers, who have always cherished their lives, understood for the first time what it meant to live a life worse than death.

If he manages to escape, next time he encounters this group of undead, he will fight to the death and will never be captured again!

Although he knew that his chances of survival were slim, the little thief Talona still had a glimmer of hope, which was why he made his words particularly clear... Although the undead were very deceptive, the god who was interrogating him should be on the side of justice, right?
People with a sense of justice would not harm an honest man like him who has turned from evil to good... but he absolutely cannot be caught being dishonest.

As for what the consequences of selling out one's own god will be, well, as long as one does not return to Toril, Talona's consequence will be the consequence.

He has been in this world for so many years, and he can only rely on his eloquence to make the boss of this settlement willing to study how to silently kill those who are against him, as well as those who come to investigate from the Tower of Xia and may discover some secrets. Isn't it because Talona can only give him three-ring magic!

That thing is fine for bullying mortals.

It is impossible to deceive a mage apprentice, let alone a great mage who is above the seventh ring!
When he thought about how he had worked so hard for so many years to achieve such a small achievement, and it was all burned to ashes by the fire of dawn... In fact, he really considered the factor of Jos!
The most brutal and poisonous hand he left here cannot be burned away even by Jos, the Chosen One of Dawn, who personally releases the Fire of Dawn. Instead, it can help spread the poisonous gas to the entire world!

But when he found out that this world would soon belong to the Styx, the little thief became a little scared.

Frankly speaking, if he died here, Talona would never be able to come and snatch him back from the Styx.

In fact, all the Plague Believers are well aware that their boss is a bully in his own family.

But precisely because of this characteristic of her, as long as they have the ability to spread the plague outside and enhance Talona's reputation, the Plague Goddess will be very generous... Of course, it does not refer to divine power, but sacrifices offered by mortals.

But in order to send away the Plague Goddess, these sacrifices are definitely the best and most valuable things that the local area can offer.

Although the plague believers can only live in corners, they are definitely rich.

The little thief Talona didn't want to go directly to the Styx to be punished while his money was still there... In the world controlled by the Styx, the control over the undead must be stronger.

Although Talona also had an affair with the evil god of hell, she was the evil god of the abyss after all, and the devil would never openly protect the souls of her believers.

Well, it would be best if the person who sent out this poisonous gas that could kill people all over the world was not him.

And it just so happens that there is a man in this world named Lord Bane who really wants to show his terrifying side and make all humans believe that he is the real God of Death.

As for what will happen to the lock-opening Zhentarim, what does that have to do with him?
