"Apostle No. 70053, the Black Iron team you belong to has intercepted the secret letter of the Zhentarim Society, triggering the plot task - the conspiracy of the Zhentarim Society."
"Apostle No. 70053, since you have come into contact with the main leader of the Silvermoon Alliance—Emily Silverhand, a direct descendant of Elastra during the last alien mission, you are qualified to participate in the mission of the Silvermoon Alliance to build a nation , this task will be incorporated into the large-scale epic plot—Silver Moon Federation.”
Introduction to the Silvermoon Alliance: In 1033 of the Valley Era, Fort Adaba, Fort Felbar, Dead Snow Town, Everlund, Quelva, Silvermoon City and Sundabar and other northern cities concluded a joint treaty to form Formed a city-state alliance with Silvermoon City as the political center, known as the Silvermoon Alliance in history.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Silver Moon Alliance, it was a relatively loose city-state alliance. However, after nearly 500 years of development, the entire alliance has now become a huge thing in the north.
This area once had the ancient elf empire Yerlan centered on the High Forest, and was also ruled by the Santana Dwarves and the Nether Empire of humans.
The territory of the Silvermoon Alliance is larger than all of them, with the endless sea in the west, the Spine of the World in the north, and friendship with the shield dwarves in Icewind Dale. To the south is the High Forest, and to the east is the Great Desert of Anook.
If they pass through the black road in the middle of the Ennook Desert, they will be connected to the most important trade and political center in the northern part of the Faerun Continent—the Sea of Moon region.
The south bank of the Moon Sea is the sun elves of Cormanthor, and the north bank is Zhentil Castle, the headquarters of the Zhentarim Society.
The Silver Moon Alliance connects colonies and city-states that existed in different eras. It implements a policy of racial tolerance. Humans, dwarves, elves, half-elves, halflings, gnomes, and even orc tribes can join them.
In fact, it has a certain competitive relationship with the Zhentarim Society and the Comanthor Elf, and when the Comanthor Elves migrated to the Isle of Evermeeting, it has only one enemy left, and that is the entrant in the moon. The dark organization in the north of the sea—the Zhentalin Society.
Today, the city-states of the Silvermoon Alliance are becoming more and more united. Not only have they formed a lord council headed by the Lord of Silvermoon, Ailaszhuo, but they also plan to further turn the City-State Alliance into a unified country—the Silvermoon Federation.
If the Silvermoon Alliance is already a thorn in the side of the Zhentarim, then when it becomes a federal state, the Zhentarim, which has been a disaster for the mainland for hundreds of years, will face the strong military pressure of this natural enemy.
[Zhentalin Society's conspiracy (task difficulty cannot be calculated): In order to eliminate potential threats in their infancy, Zhentarim Society used their usual tricks. At the Silvermoon Alliance celebration half a month later, they will use the dead soul flower poison to assassinate the members of the lord council headed by Alaszhuo, destroying the mutual trust and covenant among the various city-states of the Silvermoon Alliance, and shattering the alliance's efforts to establish a unified country .
Mission objective: When the apostles perform this mission, they have two options for interaction. One is to join the plot of the Zhentarim and assist in its assassination plans. The second is to join the Silvermoon Alliance camp and destroy the assassination plan of the Zhentarim Society.
Mission rewards: depending on the contribution of the apostles in this mission, the stay time will be increased to one natural month. Once the Black Iron team where the apostle No. 70053 leaves the territory of the Troll's Claw, the countdown will begin immediately.
Important reminder 1: Due to its plot status, apostle No. 70053 cannot join the conspiracy of the Zhentarim Society, and can only perform the second mission objective.
Important Note 2: There may be competing apostle teams in this mission. The team battle between the two sides is in killing mode, and there is a certain chance of dropping the Bloody Rubik's Cube.]
Qin Lun quickly glanced over the task introduction, turned to Mustasha and asked, "Is there a plant called the dead soul flower that grows in the land of death?"
"Dead Soul Flower?!" The highland elf seemed taken aback. "Dead Soul Flower is not a plant. Did you read the Death Soul Flower in the secret letter of the Zhenta Forest? Have you cracked the secret letter?"
"I have read the 'Solo Continental Chronology', and based on the rules you deciphered, you have translated some more words." Qin Lun lied without changing his face.
He didn't know what the "Solo Continent Chronology" was, but he couldn't explain to Mustasha what the apostle mission was. Anyway, it is impossible for the highland elves to let him recite the "Chronology of the Solo Continent", this lie is almost flawless.
"Let me read it again!" Mastacia snatched the secret letter with her hand, and carefully browsed through it again, finding out the deciphering code of the Death Soul Flower from her memory, "That's right, there is indeed a mention of the Death Soul Flower! "
The highland elf looked a little melancholy, and said hesitantly: "The dead soul flower is not a plant, but a crystallization of the soul of the dead. It looks a bit like a flower, so it is called the dead soul flower. This kind of thing can only be found in the cemetery, or in ancient times. Only seen on the battlefield."
"Does this thing have any effect?" Rand asked knowingly to guide Mustasha's thoughts.
"Because the dead soul flower is the condensation of the soul of the dead, it is regarded as an ominous thing by most legal professions. Except for necromancers and liches, almost no one uses this kind of thing." The person who interfaced this time was not Mustasha, but It is Linda, the dragon vein mage.
Her expression was also a little worried, "Death Soul Flower is a kind of alchemy material, which can make many kinds of soul and spiritual medicines, but if it is a dark organization like the Zhentarim, they can only make one thing-Death Soul Flower Poison!"
"If it's the Death Soul Flower Poison, then they are using it to assassinate a certain important person!" Mastacia's face changed, and she exclaimed, "After half a month, it will be the celebration day of the Silver Moon Alliance, don't they want to assassinate Lord of Silvermoon, Alustriel Silverhand?"
Qin Lun and Rand exchanged glances calmly, they only need to be guided here. As the harpist who balances the continent of Faerun, Mustasia will naturally intervene in this epic plot, as long as they follow the trend.
"No, I want to pass the news to the Harpist companions in the Northland as soon as possible!" Mustasia seemed a little excited, and the hand holding the secret letter began to tremble slightly.
"Don't be so nervous, isn't the Zhentarim's attempt to enter the Land of the Dead to find the Death Soul Flower this time already a failure?" Elistin, who had been listening for a long time, interjected and asked.
"No, will the Zhentarim put their eggs in one basket? With their manpower, they will definitely look for dead soul flowers in other places. The ancient battlefield on the mainland is not just a place of death." Mastacia bit lips, shaking his head seriously.
"Is the dead soul flower poison very powerful? Is there any antidote?" Qin Lun asked Linda softly.
"The dead soul flower poison has no antidote, because it is not a poison in essence, but a kind of soul reagent, which has the effect of polluting the soul of the living." Linda said with a wry smile. It will die, but it will lose its wisdom, just like a living dead. And it is colorless and odorless, so it is difficult to prevent in advance. It is said that even the gods can be attacked, and the degree of viciousness is at least the top three among all alchemy poisons."
"Oh..." Qin Lun and Rand looked at each other speechlessly. If this vicious alchemy reagent is really so powerful, even the apostles have to be extremely careful. It cannot be saved by restoring items.
"Filar, this matter has nothing to do with you. After the Troll's Claw is out, you and Elistine can go back to Anker Elf Court directly!" Mustaxia's expression was a little complicated. After this incident, Her original plan had to be dropped first.
"Hehe, things related to the Zhentarim will naturally have to do with me." A cold light flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, and he said with a sneer, "I still have a bill to settle with them!"
The other person on the raft also quickly learned about this matter. Sifford and Butler Mason didn't care. They didn't care about the Silver Moon Alliance in the far north, and this matter was not something they could participate in as ordinary people. .
The blood-piercing trio flickered a little. Secondly, the Silver Moon Alliance was far away in the north, and no matter how it changed, it had nothing to do with their lives. The only thing that couldn't save face was that they and Qin Lun and the others were considered companions who had experienced life and death together at this time, so they couldn't refuse in person.
For the rest of the journey, everyone was a little silent, each thinking about their own concerns. On the contrary, Hill and Rand were a little excited. Rescuing Elistine was due to the affection of Qin Lun, two murderers. Their purpose of entering the world of Toril was only an epic plot.
However, there was another problem before the three apostles. If they can escape the troll's claws, they will be close to the northern border of the Baldur's Gate region. It's just that there are almost thousands of miles between here and the Silver Moon Alliance in the Northland, and the road is full of dangers, half a month may not be in time for the Silver Moon Festival.
"Qin Lun, how long did it take you to travel from Jondal Forest to Baldur's Gate last time? This time the journey is less than one-third of the last time. Do you think we can catch up?" Hill said cautiously on the team channel. asked.
"If there are no moths on the way, the time is almost right. It's just that after we arrive, we still need a certain amount of time to scout the Zhenta Forest lurking in the dark. If this is the case, the time must be too late!" Qin Lun thought for a while and said, " We have to rely on external forces, it would be even better if we could have a long-distance teleportation array or a flying mount instead.”
"Mastasia's Harper Alliance is a big organization, can we think of a way from her?" Rand asked cautiously.
"The Harper Alliance is different from what you imagined. They are more like a group of Robin Hoods fighting alone. Are they at the same level as the Zhentarim in terms of resource integration?" Qin Lun shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, " However, I think the other person might have a way."
"You're talking about that little girl—Linda, the Dragon Vein Mage!" Hill immediately realized.
"Well, the mages in the world of Toril are very rich, and most of them have one or two long-distance communication devices or teleportation circles in their hands." Qin Lun said with a smile, "It's just that we can't mention this matter, otherwise It will arouse her suspicion. I think Mustaxia should bring it up automatically, it depends on whether this little girl has a good impression of the Harper League organization."
