The temple of the sun G.o.d Lathander was across from the temple of the G.o.d of justice, Tyr. After completing her routine prayers, the young priest Lady Mara found that it was very chaotic outside. To be honest, it really was a wild time, even girls like Lady Mara quickly recovered in a few days. Anyways, Faerûn always had people who were risking their lives. The number of casualties of paladins who fought for justice and good wan't low at all… after all, Faerûn was a world where evil forces were superior. Lady Mara discovered several paladins and fully geared priests who rushed out of the temple of Tyr and were heading towards the City.

In the pub, Claudius stepped on the badly beaten face of a n.o.ble's son. There were weapons lying on the ground, and blood from his nosebleed had smeared on his body. Outside the pub, a group of soldiers were lying on the ground. They had all fainted because they had taken some heavy hits. Claudius also had a bit of a headache, "That was quite easy”. The Crimson Dragon felt like he barely moved, although the warriors of Tyr had not agreed.

"Hey! Big guy! Put down the weapon!" The old warrior took one look at Claudius and shouted out. Even if it was Tyr's warriors, they only used force when they needed to maintain order. In a situation like this, they shouted out of habit — Claudius only fought using hand-to-hand combat [T1] and had drawn no weapons. "Oh, I refuse! I've settled everything with these kids. Did I break the law? Hahaha, I'll admit it. However, I've gotta go now! [T2]" Claudius roared with laughter, then sped upstairs, jumped from the balcony, landed outside the encirclement, and ran away [T3].

[T1] 一双拳头 (Yīshuāng quántóu): "a pair of fists"

[T2] 拒捕跑路 (Jùbǔ pǎo lù): "resist arrest and run"

[T3] 两条长腿 (Liǎng tiáo zhǎng tuǐ): run way with "two long legs"

This sort of ridiculous movement amused Claudius. As a dragon, this was also a novel experience - it wasn't anything special to be beaten by humans [T4], the Silver Dragon had done it twice. However, after turning into a human, this was the first time Claudius had done this and he thought that it was pretty fun. The warriors of Tyr weren't in a rush to chase Claudius, it was just a bar fight. If it wasn't for the fact that the soldiers had also been defeated, this sort of news would never reach the paladins. There was another important reason, the evil from the mines had caused the various temples to greatly increase their vigilance, in case some evil being came to town to cause trouble.

Even though the mines here were a bit pitiful, they still needed to be sealed up. The priests and city officials spent a large sum of money in order to hire some mages and made preparations to seal it. As for whether or not it would succeed, no one knew. No matter how you looked at it, this legendary necromancer's challenge rating had already greatly exceeded most demons and devils, and it had the home advantage. The surface of the mine had been covered with frost, and the temperature had nearly dropped to the freezing point. It was important to note that this place was located in the center of Faerûn, where it's understood that the four seasons are distinct and that the temperature would only fall below zero degrees in winter - right now was autumn.

Claudius did something like this in the past. He knew he couldn't stay in the city anymore, and he also didn't want to ask the dark side of the city to help him hide. He knew his own objectives, he only wanted to find Eliaza. Claudius gambled on the Silver Dragon's sense of justice. "Hehehe, based on common sense, you should be nearby. Eliaza, I'll see exactly how you deal with this. A legendary necromancer… Fighting a cold-type monster as a cold-type dragon will be an uphill battle, will it not? [T5]" Claudius said to himself, feeling giddy inside. When he thought about the Silver Dragon's challenge rating, he wanted to laugh out loud. The Silver Dragon, who had just stepped onto the road of mighty dragons [T6], wasn't a match for the Shadow of the Void and the winterwights. As for the Crimson Dragon, he imagined returning to his Crimson Dragon form, taking a deep breath, and snuffing out the Shadow of the Void and the winterwights [T7].

[T5] 事倍功半 (Shìbèigōngbàn) : "Twice the effort, half the accomplishment"

[T6] 壮年龙之路 (Zhuàng Gián lóng zhī lù): "Strong year dragon's road"

[T7] 灰飞烟灭 (Huīfēiyānmiè): "Extinguish the floating gray smoke", meaning to quickly disappear

Eliaza already knew what had happened in the mines in Zazesspur [T8], which had taken the lives of many promising paladins and priests in nearby cities. Losing these people, who were intended to become the backbone of the temples, was a considerable blow to the cause of the G.o.ds. Eliaza found out through the senior priests and patrons who knew her ident.i.ty. The Silver Dragon's own spells also made her aware of the situation. "Shadow of the Void! Even if you went to the north, you couldn't be confident that you'd find it, why did it appear here? It's not right!" The Silver Dragon understood that she couldn't handle this situation by herself, she needed to rely on her friends…

[T8] This was mistranslated as Zazespo in Chapter 97

First to mind were the senior paladins and priests. Although none of them were legend rank, with the support of the G.o.ds they could at least fight the winterwights. It's just that even at their peak [T9], they would just be hara.s.sing the monsters. Fighting head on was definitely impossible. Eliaza looked at herself. Unless she asked for help from the Cloud Giants, her own combat power wasn't enough to go against the Shadow of the Void and the winterwights. Next, Eliaza started thinking about magic. It would be best if she could convert the mine's cold properties and use it to suppress the combat ability of the undead - and there should be something for this in the temples. However, if there wasn't a legendary warrior to fight, it would still be very difficult. Although Eliaza was already a legend rank mage, she still hadn't entered the legend rank in terms of melee ability. Also, her most powerful attack, her cold breath [T10], was useless against cold-type undead.

[T9] 顶天 (Dǐng tiān): "top of the day"

[T10] 寒冷吐 (Hánlěng tǔ): "cold spit" lol

The Silver Dragon took out a leaf and a small horn and with a bit of regret, rubbed it. The golden leaf spontaneously combusted, and in the smoke, a voice said "Respected lady, in response to your request, I will honor our agreement!" Then, Eliaza blew on the small horn. Fortunately, she was in human form right now. As a dragon, it would be quite impossible to use the horn. The small horn made a very loud noise which shook the entire manor, and a magnificent dragon appeared in front of Eliaza.

In front of Eliaza was a golden light, inside of which was a n.o.ble figure. "Marlborough, I need your help!" said the Silver Dragon. "An evil presence has shrouded Zazesspur. I need you, Marlborough the Golden Dragon. I need the power of your radiant flames – our enemy is the Shadow of the Void."
