The Bird of Death would track the traces of death.
In short, only a place where a lot of people died would actively attract the Bird of Death. It was not strange for the Bird of Death to appear in Mordor City because a terrible disaster caused great casualties. The total number of missing and dead people was probably close to a thousand. This scale was likely to attract the Bird of Death. If there was a loophole in the plane barrier, it was not strange for the Bird of Death to appear in Mordor City.
But!
It was strange for the Bird of Death to appear here.
First of all, there were no dead people nearby. It was very close to the virgin forest. Even if there was a war, it would not be here. And as far as Søren's current god-level perception was concerned, there were only three people here, and there was no breath of death. It was impossible to attract the Bird of Death, not to mention that the Bird of Death had been watching them.
Ildis seemed to be a little scared by the Bird of Death. He didn't know whether to kill it or not. If he killed it, he might offend the God of Death, but if he didn't kill it, he felt awkward.
After the Bird of Death died, its soul returned directly to the hands of the God of Death.
Because they were creatures created by the God of Death, after the soul returned, the God of Death could see most of the things it saw during its lifetime through the soul of the Bird of Death. (Note: What it saw during the 12-24 hours before its death.)
Was the God of Death really watching them?
Søren felt that it was unlikely.
Although the Avatar Crisis also affected the God of Death, it should not have a great impact on the God of Death. If Søren remembered correctly, the God of Death could choose not to fall into the mortal world, but to fall into the spiritual realm and the shadow plane connected to the mortal world.
"Which God of Death would it be?"
Søren kept up with the witch in front of him, but he kept thinking in his mind. Now it was better to leave first and see what the Goddess of Magic wanted to do.
At present, there were three most powerful Gods of Death.
The first one was the [King of the Dead] – Klemvaux, one of the children of the plane favored by fate. He succeeded as a mortal and inherited the powerful power of the ancient God of Death – Jergal. He became the most powerful god of the God of Death. The second one was the sealed [God of Murder]. He also held a part of the Death Priesthood, but his focus was on the Slaughter Domain evolved from Death. He had been sealed for a long time because of his madness, and it was basically impossible for him to escape now.
The last one was Naruto.
An equally powerful Death God, but an evil existence that was known as the Enemy of Kindness, the Abomination of Life, the Emissary of Darkness, the King of Gloom, and the Reaper of Flesh and Blood.
In addition to these three, there were other gods who held part of the clergy of death, such as the Goddess of Death in the desert, Osiris (the God of Death in the Mohammed Divine System), Urogalan (the God of Death in the Halfling Divine System), and some other gods of death from other races. However, these were all mediocre Gods of Death. Their kingdom was not established in the Underworld, and they only controlled part of the domain of death. These gods were basically negligible because the Death God System did not include them.
"Could it be the King of the Dead?"
Klemvaux was often called the [Lord of the Eternal Sleep]. His doctrine believed that the dead should not be disturbed, and priests were often active all over the world to appease the awakened undead. He was the lover of the current Goddess of Magic when he was a mortal. The two of them became gods at the same time because of the blessing of fate, but after becoming gods, their lovers' identities were broken.
For a long time.
The King of the Dead's attitude towards the Goddess of Magic was very vague because the current Goddess of Magic was not the former Goddess of Magic, but she was also not his lover.
The name Mystra had always been used by the Goddess of Magic, and every Goddess of Magic was actually a composite.
Just like Søren's fusion of divinity and divinity, he could rely on his strong will to eliminate the residual consciousness of the previous god, but at that time, Midnight (the name of the Goddess of Magic when she was a mortal), who became a god as a mortal and relied on a gift, could not do this. Therefore, the current Goddess of Magic was a composite of two consciousnesses. She inherited the memories and thoughts of the mortal period, but also integrated the memories and thoughts of the previous Goddess of Magic.
This was tantamount to a resurrection.
It was a slightly gentler way of resurrection than the Dread Lord. The second Goddess of Magic was also resurrected in this way.
Therefore, after becoming the Goddess of Magic, the relationship between the two lovers became a bit strange.
This was originally nothing.
However, in order to take revenge on them, the [God of Murder] stabbed a knife into their relationship. Before the Dark Sun Lord went completely crazy, he used a conspiracy to completely destroy the relationship between the two of them, making them almost like strangers.
The mortal mind was fragile.
Promoted as a mortal to a god, their mind, spirit, and soul were all changing. These two gods changed more than Søren, and the short memories of the mortal period eventually disappeared in the long river of history.
Then.
The appearance of the Son of Murder, the rise of the Arcane Empire, the destruction of the Arcane Empire, the fall of Father Oak, and so on.
In the long river of time, their relationship was finally diluted a lot.
The two gods seemed to have less and less intersection, and for a long time, the Goddess of Magic only maintained a close relationship with the Lady of Silvermoon.
"The King of the Dead is more likely! But we can't rule out the possibility of Naruto! "
"He seems to have always wanted to destroy the living."
The God of Death, Nairo, was an extremist. He believed that death was the final destination, so he was often called the [Life Hater]. His relationship with the King of the Dead was very bad, and there were also many internal conflicts within the God of Death.
Søren wasn't sure what the appearance of the Bird of Death meant, but he knew that the fall of the Goddess of Magic was definitely not that simple!
…
Dozens of kilometers away.
After making sure that the Bird of Death didn't follow, the witch in front of him finally stopped.
Ildis quickly walked to the side of the witch and said with a bit of flattery, "Your Excellency. Are you done with your business? "
The witch slowly shook her head and said lightly, "No."
"You can call me Midnight. Calling me Your Excellency will cause some trouble. "
Your Excellency was an honorific.
It was usually used to address legendary professions or people of very high status.
Midnight?!
When Søren heard this name, he couldn't help but tremble, and then he became more and more certain of some of his guesses.
Midnight was the name of the Goddess of Magic when she was a mortal, but this name had gradually disappeared in the long river of history. She hadn't used this name for thousands of years, especially after her relationship with the King of the Dead, Klemvaux, deteriorated. This name didn't appear in any ancient books related to her.
Mortals almost knew nothing about this name.
The most important enemy of the Goddess of Magic was the Lady of Night. Her close alliance with the Lady of Silvermoon was more because they had a common enemy.
The Lady of Night secretly created the Shadow Magic Network a long time ago to fight against the Lady of Silvermoon and the Goddess of Magic. The Goddess of Magic regarded the behavior of the Lady of Night as a direct threat to her priesthood, and her close relationship with the Lady of Silvermoon grew day by day. For a long time, the ultimate goal of the Goddess of Magic was to incorporate the Shadow Magic Network of the Lady of Night into her priesthood, even if it meant that she had to sacrifice her last remaining human and good nature and use this to integrate the power of darkness.
This was where the change of the Goddess of Magic began.
In order to achieve her ultimate goal, she abandoned some things and prepared to integrate the Shadow Magic Network. This change also caused her relationship with the King of the Dead to deteriorate, and finally, they almost became strangers.
A somewhat dilapidated town appeared in front of them.
It was already late.
Ildis suggested that they take a rest here, and Søren didn't have any objections. The Witch in front of him also silently nodded.
This was a town that had been burned by war.
The riot of the Lizardmen hadn't been resolved yet, and the guards on the outpost were vigilantly watching everyone. There weren't many guests in the inn, and the owner seemed to be in a state of panic when the three Wizards appeared.
Night fell.
A figure appeared in Søren's room.
Søren, who was lying on the bed, didn't fall asleep. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Witch in front of him, got up, and made an inviting gesture to the table next to him.
"Are you looking for me?"
The Witch's expression was cold. During the day, with Ildis beside her, there were many things that couldn't be said, because this mortal didn't know her identity.
Søren wouldn't appear for no reason.
The Goddess of Magic also didn't believe that he met her by chance, so at this moment, her expression was cold, and there was even a hint of hostility.
Søren met her gaze and said directly, "Yes."
"I'm looking for you."
"And I hope to provide you with some help."
Help?
The Goddess of Magic was a little stunned when she heard this, and then her expression softened a little. She sat at the table next to him and said slowly, "What help?"
A divine radiance appeared.
The Goddess of Magic looked at Søren in front of her and said slowly, "Søren."
"The God of Half-Elves and Rogues."
"A human outside of fate."
"Ascending from a mortal to a deity in just two years' time! Some time ago, you killed the King of Beasts and inherited his [Tracking] divinity. It's not surprising that you can find me, but I'm curious why you want to help me. "
Søren looked a little surprised and said, "You know me?"
As a thoroughly new God, he was a little surprised by the Goddess of Magic's understanding of him.
"Of course."
A playful smile appeared at the corner of the Goddess of Magic's mouth, and she said slowly, "You don't seem to understand the world of Gods! That's right! Your ascension happened just before the Upheaval! You haven't entered the Kingdom of Gods! … "
"The Gods have been watching you silently."
"At the moment you lifted up the throne! They were already watching you! To be honest, your existence makes many Gods feel threatened! … because they think that you are growing too fast! … "
"You're lucky."
"The arrival of this catastrophe has left them with no energy to care about you for the time being. Otherwise, as a new God, you might need to learn to adapt to some rules! … "
Søren was silent.
After a while, he looked up at the Goddess of Magic in front of him, smiled, and said slowly, "Okay. I'm done talking about my business. Maybe we should talk about your business next. "
"For a long time."
"The Goddess of Magic always seems to be unable to escape a fate! Maybe you've already felt it! … "
"Am I right?"
Hearing Søren's words, the Goddess of Magic's face changed instantly!
For a moment.
The atmosphere in the whole room became solemn, as if there was an irresistible huge magic that isolated everything from the material plane.
The first Goddess of Magic, dead.
The second Goddess of Magic, dead.
The third Goddess of Magic, about to die.
This was their fate!
It seemed that every Goddess of Magic could not escape death in the end. They fell more easily than the other Gods.
