Capítulo 1304: Chapter 1095: The Mad Shrew Queen Ambori
“Are you seriously considering it?” Celene was quite surprised to find Shaer genuinely hesitating.
She originally thought Shaer would scold her!
Unexpectedly, her usually elegant sister, who likes peace and quiet, was actually considering choosing a Quel Senta Mage who is learning how to spar verbally with Ambori to be her Chosen.
“Truly… these are different tis!” Lansendel couldn’t help but sigh with so surprise, “Shaer, have you already started thinking about the future?
Since you’re no longer making the destruction of the world your entire will, those two Chosen from before, especially the one in Anmur, need to be restricted a bit, right?
But you also don’t plan to completely give up the idea of stirring up trouble in Toril. Especially when it cos to big events like the destruction of a country like Anmur, you wouldn’t mind fanning the flas.
And this Nasir truly is quite shrewd and capable, very adept at communicating with the outside world. He can let outsiders know about your changes and also appease that Chosen who wants to destroy everything.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the downfall of Anmur is inevitable.
So, have you reached an agreent with William? The Undead Tribe is indeed going to go all out against Anmur, right?”
“A country like Anmur has no reason to exist.” Shaer said coldly, “After killing off who needs to be killed and destroying what needs to be destroyed, rebuilding a country ruled by a Queen is their best outco.”
“You are deliberately avoiding the topic, this Nasir has a good relationship with Edna… When Edna looks at him, she doesn’t show any signs of tension, clearly she already sees him as a trustworthy person.
Although it might be due to the influence of the Undead Tribe, she indeed trusted that William and thus extended her trust to Shaer’s subordinates.
In the future, Mystra might no longer see the assassins in the dark as enemies… Is this the matter?” Celene leaned forward slightly, asking with a curious expression.
Shaer suddenly sat up, staring coldly at the smiling, provocatively-faced Maiden of the Moon.
The beak of the Golden Peacock opened and closed a few tis, but it eventually gave up on talking to Celene… Lansendel just walked quietly to one side, lying on the ground with a deanor of indifference: “I have to explain sothing to Gendilarei, we’ll talk later.”
So… why did Celene ask?
Hill felt like the barrage in his mind had already gone crazy.
The main reason Shaer would choose Nasir as her Chosen is because of Edna, isn’t it?
She’s practically implying that as long as Edna remains in the position of Goddess of Magic, she, as the Goddess of the Night, will not easily make a move against her.
Yet, how could the always proud Shaer actively seek favor with Edna?
Everyone knows it well.
Even the usually sharp-tongued Lansendel wisely skipped over this point!
Hill couldn’t help but frown, but then thought again, what Celene did seed not that surprising either.
Just because they act amiably doesn’t an they can truly rediscover their so-called sisterly bond.
Maybe there is indeed a little bit of it… but it can’t cover up the hatred accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
Just at a certain mont, due to changes in the external environnt, both sides in conflict tacitly chose to ceasefire, willing to sit at the sa negotiation table, even cooperate and coordinate with each other.
But a ceasefire and re-establishing relations have never been the sa thing.
At least, after maintaining a cold war for a while longer or engaging in nurous minor skirmishes, each will decide whether to take further steps based on the other’s performance.
Even if they still miss the good old days, reconciling so easily, or even transitioning directly to intimacy, seems impossible.
Reality is never a fairy tale, let alone a romantic drama.
So the two of them constantly provoke each other, testing the limits of each other’s tolerance bit by bit.
But from rely ntioning the past at the beginning, to now comnting on current matters, it seems Celene’s patience is not quite enough.
Hill’s eyebrows suddenly lifted… No, it’s because their subordinates are about to formally cooperate.
With the discovery of the Mithril Mine on Snowfall Island, both Shaer and Celene must face a reality: not only do they have to coexist amicably in Agleya, but even their subordinates must start collaborating.
No matter how rich the resources these two Goddesses have in their hands, they can’t just freely give them to their followers… There’s no deity in Toril who would give soone a golden axe just because so human is honest enough.
Even if that human is worshipping her devoutly, she won’t be so inexplicably generous.
Therefore, neither of them would allow their followers to give up ownership of the Mithril Mine.
But this ans that inevitably, their relationship has been fast-tracked.
Previously, people rely felt that their antagonistic relationship might have improved, but with the followers of the Twin Goddesses appearing together on an island, bullying the local Moonshadow People and resisting later plunderers together, it was enough for observers to be flabbergasted.
Even Tyr and Lansendel joining in, along with the Lord of Agleya and the Elves… of course, both the Teraxil Elves and the Descendants of Azuth had no choice but to fade into the background.
Hill understood well the working style of the Undead Tribe. They were accustod to distributing based on contribution, so Edna would certainly get her share.
Even Edna herself understood this.
And though the share might be a bit less, the Black Dragon Brothers and Terry and Tasding would also have their share, as long as they had made an effort. The Undead Tribe always rewarded based on rit.
Although this combination was a bit strange, it did indeed possess enough deterrent power, no matter which side it was on.
Fortunately, Snowfall Island was governed by the Undead Tribe. They wouldn’t care about the chaotic relationships between those temples… even if the handlers of the two grand temples were fighting and rolling on the ground nearby, they could bow down and hand over an agreent for them to sign.
As for the original owner of Snowfall Island… whether the Queen of the Moonshadow Archipelago had a chance would depend on whether the person behind Shantia dared to show face before Shaer and Celene who were sitting together.
Normally, she shouldn’t have, but Toril was sotis beyond the bounds of reason.
Hill, though sowhat insensitive and even a bit slow to these matters, could still figure things out once they happened.
So, even when Shaer, without any expression, rely told Celene not to ddle or talk nonsense, and showed no sign of anger, Hill quietly turned his head and gently ate a bowl of mango ice cream.
After all, Celene’s expression was a little amusing… the Maiden of the Moon, who was both wanting to laugh and unable to suppress her surprise, had her facial muscles slightly distorted.
Celene was quite wary of her sister because she knew Shaer of the past too well… she found it hard to believe that just a romance could turn Shaer into what she was now.
In her impression… Lady Fiery Hair was still the best at matters of love, but no matter how many romances Shuni had, she remained herself.
Even the famously self-sacrificing Midnight and Kranvo didn’t change their nature for each other!
Reining in was not changing, this much the Maiden of the Moon could see clearly.
So, she nearly lay down on her long chair, tilting her head and staring fixedly at Shaer, “My sister, can’t be like this~
Did you accidentally drink the Poison Lady’s tea while out having fun?… Didn’t the old man say anything?”
“Ah!” An ear-piercing scream that tore through the sky interrupted the almost restrained Dark Night Whip forming in Shaer’s hand.
Glad not to head into the water again, Hill gratefully glanced at the grand screen… Ambori had already been provoked into riding a mass of deep green seawater straight toward the Black Rose’s big ship: A bluish-green female figure with clawed hands, elbowed fins, dead pearly fish eyes, and long dark algae hair rose directly from the island’s center. The cloak of millions of pale purple jellyfish behind her fluttered in the breeze, and she tightly gripped a trident, set to smash down on the black-robed Little Loli jumping from the mast.
It looked like an old witch chasing after a poor innocent young girl.
But for so reason, it was the first ti Hill felt a twinge of sympathy for this ugly old witch.
Really… even the occasional few lines Hill heard made life seem so wonderful, why not wear earmuffs?
“What the… So soon?” The ‘Old Age Striking King’ retracted his tablet and shouted, “Rember to guard the hall well, leave no blind spots!
I’ll take a look at the Priest Corps, and I’ll be right back after Liu Liu gets here!
Edna, stay beside Elvia!”
She frowned deeply as she looked around, her chin slightly raised, “Leonard, why are you dawdling? Go to Elvia too!
If anything happens, have Josanie call .”
She glanced at Nasir with aningful eyes.
Nasir nodded slightly: no matter what Edna’s identity was, as long as the Undead Tribe was paying attention to her, as a Follower of the Night, he absolutely wouldn’t let anything happen to this little girl.
However, besides the Half-Elf Mage, trusted him more than this Follower of the Night?
Hadn’t Devis and Luca always perford well too?
Nasir had always been sensitive to people’s hearts, so he truly didn’t feel that these two Junior Mages had any issues.
So… what were the Undead Tribe guarding against?
Could it be soone who could cause the always friendly and sincere Quel Senta Mage to suddenly turn hostile… surely it wasn’t Azuth?
Nasir chuckled and shook his head gently.
Not to ntion, Edna’s suspicion was already very low, even if Edna was a reincarnation of Mystra, that Deity of Mages wouldn’t do anything to her.
Could it be those few remaining retainers?
Or… was it that Tiger Person?
Nasir glanced again at the tiger next to Soma, who looked a lot like him… whether it was genuine accompanint or deliberate surveillance, who knew?
But he had no more ti to think, the battle outside quickly escalated.
The last ti Ambori went this crazy was probably when she discovered Talos had taken over her divine power, right?
