With the arrival of summer and autumn, the climate of Mordor City gradually changed.
At the port, a fishing boat full of seafood returned, and soon a group of laborers who made a living on the dock came to carry it. Buckets of fresh fish were sent to the shore, and there were already many merchants waiting there. Because it was a coastal city, the price of seafood in Mordor City was quite cheap, and the supply was quite large. In Mordor City, the rich class rarely ate seafood. These fresh fish were more supplied to the lower-class civilians and the laborers who migrated to Mordor City to work. Even slaves could often eat fish.
The rich disliked the fishy smell of seafood, and even they couldn't afford spices that could temper the fishy smell.
That thing was sometimes equivalent to gold of the same weight.
"Old Jack!"
A rich businessman approached the fishing boat, looked at it for a while, and said slowly, "send me a batch of fish. Did you catch any sharks this time? Give me one if you did! "
Shark meat was the cheapest.
For some reason, except for a small part of the shark, the other parts were only eaten by the lower class, so the price was naturally the cheapest.
"Yes!"
An old man with a beard nodded and quickly ordered someone to send it over. During this time, many outsiders came to Mordor City, and the consumption of all kinds of food was very high. Because the price of fish had always been very cheap, the sales were very high, so this was the third time they went out to sea this week. The sailors were busy. Taking advantage of today's rest, many of them walked towards the tavern with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Old Jack scolded them, and then said seriously, "Don't gamble!"
"Leave some money to marry a woman. If you lose it all, just wait to be an old bachelor."
Three or five sailors nodded with a smile. Old Jack was a very good person. No one would have thought that he had been a bloody pirate. A stable life and the law of Mordor City had worn away his hostility. He just wanted to make more money while he still had some strength to leave some property for Little Jack. The deputy went to do the next thing. Old Jack walked around the street a few times, and then quietly entered an alley.
A man hidden in the shadows was waiting for him.
"Nothing unusual recently."
Old Jack's expression became serious, and there was even a faint murderous aura. He said in a deep voice, "There is a businessman named Enderi who is a little strange. You can ask the higher-ups to send someone to investigate."
The man in the shadows nodded and picked up a pen to record it. Then, he slowly said, "I understand."
"You can leave now."
Old Jack nodded and turned to walk out of the alley.
There were a group of retired pirates in Mordor City. Most of them were not young or had been injured. After retiring, these people began to live the lives of ordinary people. However, some of the elites were still inextricably linked to the intelligence organization that Soran had secretly set up. These people were Søren's informants. Nothing in the city of Mordor could escape his eyes. Even in other places, there were many people like old Jack who were sent out.
It was still early.
Old Jack stood at the dock and thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Sea Temple.
During this time, the fishing in Mordor City was quite rich. Maybe the blessing of the sea goddess had taken effect. Whether it was out of respect or gratitude to the gods, Old Jack was used to donating to the Sea Temple from time to time. Now the scale of the Sea Temple has expanded a lot. Because of the blessings of the Sea Goddess, the Sea Temple finally tied with the Temple of Wealth. There were many believers at the entrance of the Sea Temple. Old Jack subconsciously looked around before entering.
With informants like them, even the Temple of Wealth and the Sea Temple were within the scope of surveillance.
Because in Mordor City, no power could be out of control. Sir Søren allowed the two churches to develop their faith here, but he would never allow their power to go out of control.
This was a boundary between the gods and the churches.
…
The City Lord's mansion.
After spending nearly a week, Søren finally got the exact information.
The location of the God of the Hunt – Malar!
North of Whiterun City, at the junction of the Elven Forest, near the barren highlands in the north, a territory of the Orcs.
The belief of the God of the Hunt was spread all over the world. Therefore, his church's believers were relatively special and rarely moved in civilized areas. So this time, in order to determine his location, Søren also spent a lot of effort. Originally, he wanted to ask Gloria to use prophecy to locate the location, but the cost of using prophecy to locate a god was too great. In the end, he could only find it slowly, but he didn't expect to determine the specific location of the target so quickly.
The Avatar Crisis was coming.
Many of the more scheming gods hid first, just like the Queen of Spiders, Lolth. No one could determine where she was until now.
Now that the God of the Hunt – Malar had exposed his whereabouts, the plan against him could begin.
The Shadow Plane.
Gloria, who was working in the laboratory, suddenly raised her head, and then a teleportation spell appeared outside. She frowned slightly and said, "What triggered the alarm trap I set?"
A series of spells appeared.
To be on the safe side, Gloria first blessed herself with many spells, and then walked to the edge of the Wizard Tower.
Since this place was an important target of the attack, the two witches had set up a large number of alarm spells nearby to prevent other creatures from the Shadow Plane from running over.
"This! … "
Gloria's footsteps suddenly stopped. She frowned and looked at the site in front of her. She murmured, "Are these the feathers of the Shadow Raven?"
Feathers and blood.
There were obvious traces of battle nearby. The Shadow Raven was a creature they had seen before, a huge raven that lived in this plane.
The combat power of this thing was not much lower than that of the dragon subspecies!
"Dragon Scale?!"
Gloria carefully walked over and reached out to pick up a scale on the ground. It was a light gray scale that was close to translucent. It looked a bit like the scale of a black dragon, but the size of the scale was only the size of a fingernail. It didn't look like it came from a huge adult dragon, but more like a young dragon that had transitioned to its youth.
Gloria was stunned for a moment, and then said with an excited expression, "Is there a young dragon nearby?"
This was the scale of a Shadow Dragon.
It was a kind of dragon that lived in the Shadow Plane. It was an earth-type dragon that was sinister and cunning. It rarely appeared in other worlds, but it would occasionally appear in the Underdark.
There was a lot of blood nearby.
However, there was no corpse of the Shadow Raven, which meant that in the battle that happened not long ago, the dragon didn't have any advantage. Under the siege of an adult dragon, it shouldn't be difficult to kill one or two Shadow Ravens. The only explanation for this situation was that the Shadow Dragon that was besieged by the Shadow Ravens was at most a young dragon.
"No!"
Gloria quickly set up a spell nearby, and then walked toward the teleportation gate. She murmured, "I have to tell Søren about this."
If there was a young dragon nearby, then there was a lot of things that could be done.
Of course, the purpose was not to kill it.
A young dragon didn't have enough wealth, and the wealth of a dragon was accumulated over a long period of time. To deal with such a young dragon, Gloria felt that there was a high possibility that they could subdue or control it.
The blood of a dragon was also a good subject for research!
As a neutral Northern Witch, Gloria didn't mind catching it and releasing some dragon blood from time to time. Maybe it was because she had been with Søren for too long.
Gloria also began to deviate a little bit from the Evil Faction.
…
The discovery of the Northern Witch quickly alarmed Søren and the Fallen Witch.
Capturing an immature shadow dragon wasn't much of a problem for the true form of a god and two legendary witches.
Therefore, Søren quickly decided to settle this matter first.
Dragons had a wide range of activities, but as long as this young Shadow Dragon appeared near the Wizard Tower, Søren could still find it with a little effort. As for the next matter, it was easy to handle.
One of them was the true body of a deity, while the other two were legendary witches.
I'm just asking you if you're scared!
