Joyful Dog Tail

Li Wei dared to do this because, based on the knowledge from the Dragon Inheritance, he was certain that Lolth, the deity of the Drow, was not omniscient or omnipotent. He also hadn't heard of any deity being so idle as to constantly monitor every single one of their followers.

Furthermore, he wasn't as reckless as others perceived him to be. Instead, he was genuinely relying on a combination of favorable timing and location.

Firstly, Zelandia was located in a region of the Dark Weave. It was highly probable that it was a Natural Cavern formed by Riotous Wild Magic when the Weave went out of control during the fall of the First Generation Goddess of Magic. Not only was the magic here violent and chaotic, but it also severely interfered with the connection of faith.

This was also why the Drow were very reluctant to be stationed here for rotations. It was like using a Big Brother Mobile Phone from the nineties in a Poor Mountain Gully; trying to contact their superior deity would require finding an open area with a good signal to barely hear a "hello." It was truly a perfect place for backstabbing.

At the same time, Li Wei didn't intend to go too far. All he needed was for the other party to commit an act that appeared to be blasphemy, serving as a minor contingency plan, rather than having them truly betray their deity and completely abandon their faith.

He also believed that this Drow named Dishana understood the consequences of betraying Lolth better than he did. Therefore, even if she acted against her will, she would never dare to let her faith waver significantly.

Because if Lolth discovered her actions, in her rage, whether it was a divine descent or the use of her as a divine power channel to teleport Wax Melting Demons and Spider Drow, her weak and fragile soul would not be able to bear it. At best, her lifespan would be greatly reduced, and her spirit and soul would be damaged. At worst, her soul would be instantly shattered, turning her into an idiot. These two consequences might even be considered light. The most severe outcome was the direct imprisonment of her soul in the Divine Kingdom, where she would face endless torment and despair.

What Li Wei never expected was that he might have overestimated her! Even though he was certain that with their unspoken mutual understanding, Lolth would most likely not notice the commotion here, he couldn't stand this Bitch playing like this, could he?

One must know that if a believer's thoughts become too intense and turbulent, the fluctuations in faith can create ripples. Especially when it's subtly related to oneself, it might truly attract the attention of a deity, like a firefly in the dark!

To be honest, when Li Wei saw this Drow daring to try and comfort herself in broad daylight, he was momentarily stunned. Immediately after, he was greatly alarmed and quickly kicked her to stop her, jolting her back to her senses. At the same time, he prepared to flee at any moment.

If this pervert had truly attracted Lolth's attention, it would have been a death wish. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Li Wei looked at the Drow, who was only left gasping for breath, with disdain. "Stupid Drow, stop testing my dwindling patience and stop challenging my bottom line. Perhaps the elves over there haven't all died yet. To me, supporting you or supporting one of your sisters makes no difference. Alright! Since you've already used your god to wipe your dirty backside, then obediently return to your Gershon City and fight for your Matriarch Position. My people will cooperate with you in secret. If you try any tricks, your Spider Queen will teach you a good lesson for me!"

At this moment, the Gnoll leader Huozi also returned with his men, dragging about ten Drow corpses. He glanced disdainfully at the disheveled and twitching Drow on the ground, then turned his gaze back to Li Wei and reported:

"Master, a total of thirteen Black Skin Rats have all been dealt with! I guarantee with my nose, not a single one was missed. Tiger has also confirmed this repeatedly."

Tiger, standing nearby, nodded solemnly. He knew better than anyone that the survival of all of Zelandia was at stake. Having boarded Li Wei's pirate ship, it was too late to get off now; he could only follow Li Wei to the bitter end.

At least, fortunately, Li Wei was a strong enough backer, and the Red Dragon behind him was an even more appealing patron. Although he didn't know what stage this Red Dragon was at, being able to produce a Half-Dragon Gnoll as powerful as Li Wei, even if not an ancient Red Dragon, it was at least a mature one!

'But this Red Dragon is truly fierce, even capable of laying hands on a Gnoll. Gershon City's Hammer!' the Old Dwarf Tiger thought lewdly yet with utter admiration.

If Li Wei knew the Old Dwarf's thoughts, he would be speechless and indignant, wanting to kill. Heaven knows, although the Half-Dragon Gnoll persona was one of Li Wei's contingency plans, it wasn't originally intended for this occasion.

After all, the Red Dragon persona was quite useful in the Underdark. As the strongest combatant among the Chromatic Dragons, a mere display of form or a flick of a claw could make most opportunistic individuals cry and beg for patronage.

And it could be foreseen that unless the Silver Dragon true form left the Underdark and returned to the surface world, it was best not to reveal itself in the Underdark, which was filled with evil. It would be as glaring as the Morning Star in the night sky, and the best prey and sacrifice for most predators.

Correspondingly, the Red Dragon was his main persona in the Underdark. Now, to deal with the current crisis, he had to mold this persona into a behind-the-scenes BOSS first. But the awkward part was this so-called Half-Dragon Gnoll...

Thinking back, the thought of other creatures looking at him with a perverted, curious gaze gave him a headache. Even though most Red Dragons might have actually done such things and wouldn't care.

Li Wei shook his head. "Good job. Let's pack up."

"Master, these Drow are untrustworthy. Should we just take care of them all?" Huozi, whose eyes were bloodshot from killing, bared his teeth and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"It's fine. She has a small handle in my hand. More importantly, our interests align now. She's not that foolish. If we can have a somewhat cooperative Drow Matriarch in Gershon City in the future, subsequent developments will be much smoother. Tiger, remember to prepare another Steam Bomb for these guests. Place it at the entrance to the Upper City. They will pick it up themselves."

"Yes!" Tiger held his breath and bowed his head.

"Then it's settled."

Li Wei turned back and gave Dishana a "take care of yourself" look, then turned and disappeared into the shadows of the mine.

After Li Wei and his group gradually disappeared, Dishana got up, somewhat unsteadily this time. She unhurriedly tidied her buttons and robe, looked at the spot where Li Wei had vanished, licked her still rosy lower lip, and revealed a delighted smile as if she had spotted a desirable prey.

The confidence and elegance on her face were like a completely different person from the disheveled and desperate drow priestess she was before.

"Miss! What should we do now?" Guard Captain Jiaer seemed somewhat worried that Dishana had been coerced by the other party.

"Are you stupid? Naturally, we cooperate well with our dear new allies. We'll return to Gelsorn tomorrow after getting the Steam Bomb. I can't wait to see the wonderful expressions on my good sisters and Mother's faces. With the entire Zelandia as our backing, if I plan and prepare for a few years and still can't get the Matriarch Position of Jadier, I might as well let our deity turn into a Spider Drow!" Dishana's eyes showed unprecedented confidence and fanaticism.

"What about those three?" Jiaer looked at her three comrades with some hesitation.

Dishana thought for a moment and said, "Let's all take a River Styx Blood Oath."

Those three drow couldn't help but show wry smiles. Although it wasn't an oath to Lolth, the River Styx Blood Oath was still binding for most mortals. Jiaer also joined in the oath.

If anyone else were still present at this moment, they would be astonished at Dishana's attitude. She didn't seem to have fallen into complete despair after blaspheming Lolth.

However, besides Lolth's priests, few people probably knew that Dishana's previous actions were indeed blasphemous. If it were in other pantheons, she would have been utterly annihilated by now if discovered.

But Lolth was an exception. She might be the only unconventional deity in the Material Plane besides those abyssal evil gods. With her divine portfolio of chaos and evil, one could guess her own character by looking at the behavior of the drow who worshipped her.

As a formidable existence who dared to cuckold the main god Corellon when she was the elven goddess consort, after falling into the Underdark and mastering the divine portfolio of chaos, she had, in a sense, become even more frenzied.

There were many drow priests who, in order to please Lolth, deliberately wore Divine Emblems while torturing other creatures or even held more unspeakable blasphemous rituals. As long as their faith was firm enough and they could bring more pleasure and tangible sacrifices to the Goddess, Lolth was, in some aspects, quite neurotic.

It could be said that with such blasphemous acts, Lolth's attitude was somewhat Schrödinger-like. Pursuing it would undoubtedly be thunderous, but if enough price was paid to satisfy the Goddess, it was not impossible to be forgiven.

Therefore, although this matter was tricky, there was still room for maneuver, provided that one could offer benefits sufficient to move the deity.

Although Dishana also feared the Goddess's true wrath, she still believed that the other party would not easily act.

'Hogg was right, their interests are aligned.'

Dishana was not a fool, nor did she have any intention of tearing up the alliance immediately. In fact, as long as their common interests were not broken, she, Dishana, wouldn't mind being a dog under Li Wei.

After feeling the invisible and intangible response of the River Styx triggered by the oath, Dishana revealed a smile full of harvest and led her four lackeys striding towards the direction they came from.

The golden pendant necklace still hung behind her, swaying with her elegant steps, just like a dog's tail wagging with its owner's mood.
