A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

The parliament next to the government office building of the "Gold Coin Capital" administrative district.

This is the second most majestic and gorgeous building in the city after the Temple of Woking, the goddess of wealth. It is also the place where the forty-two families that control Ascaltra compete for interests and discuss foreign policies.

Since the envoy who just returned from Candlekeep a few days ago brought back the contract that symbolized victory, a meeting was specially held today to discuss how to divide the trade shares snatched from Baldur's Gate.

Yes, it is partition.

Those ordinary merchants and civilians could not get any additional benefits from the treaty. At most, they could only pick up the leftovers left by the big families.

Facts have once again proved that there is no so-called "fair" business environment in the world.

Any commercial activity that develops and grows to a certain extent will inevitably be unable to escape the influence of politics, and the two are even bound to each other from the beginning.

Amn, the business empire closest to the capitalist system on Earth, is naturally one of the best.

Looking at the trade protection laws it has enacted, it is not difficult to see that the essence of this country is to give families with huge wealth and capital a more relaxed environment for expansion, allowing them to form absolute monopolies in one field after another.

As the "hero" and "hero" of this negotiation, Sir Crispian naturally became the star figure of this meeting.

In addition, he had followed Zuo Si's advice before and built a momentum in advance when he returned to let everyone know how huge benefits he had obtained for Amn.

Therefore, when this already famous nobleman appeared, everyone stood up and gave enthusiastic applause and words of praise.

After all, he overfulfilled the tasks assigned by the six-member Council. Even after the envoy was attacked by evil forces, he "bravely" continued to move towards Candlekeep, causing Baldur's Gate to fall into passiveness and trouble, and finally had to Make huge concessions.

Of course, Sir Crispian has not forgotten that the reason why he was able to gain such power from the six-member council was all thanks to Zuo Si's help.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to use his authority to give the biggest piece of cake to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce.

In the current Ascaltra, there is no noble who does not know the relationship between Bernard and Zuo Si.

After the "Spoils Sharing Conference" ended, Sir Crispian immediately approached Bernard and his friend Babette, the heir of the Nasiva family.

He said without any nonsense, he went straight to the point: "This time I went to Candlekeep to negotiate with Baldur's Gate. It was only thanks to Sir Thos that I was able to survive that terrible attack and finally completed the mission brilliantly. So. I hope Sir Soth can get a relatively high share of the benefits of this division to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce."

"Don't worry about this. I will give him all the profits from these trade routes intact. Because he also saved my life and helped me regain everything I lost." Nader responded with a smile.

After hearing these words, Sir Crispian immediately nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you are smarter and more capable than the rumors say. I believe that the Roldan Chamber of Commerce will prosper again under your leadership. In a few days , I will hold a dinner at the manor, and you must come. There will be many parliamentarians, bureaucrats and important figures in the judicial system present. "

"Thank you very much. It's an honor to have your invitation."

Bernard bowed politely, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Because he had just restored the Chamber of Commerce to normal operations, and what he lacked most at the moment was contacts in the government.

In Amn, a country where giving and asking for bribes has long become a common practice and unspoken rule, there is nothing more important than maintaining collusion between politics and business.

As a successful young businessman, Bernard knew very well that the reason why he did not encounter any trouble at the moment was entirely due to the sufficient deterrence of Zuo Si, the chosen one of the goddess of poison and plague.

So he is eager to make up for this shortcoming.

After all, his evil-minded father, Sir Elrot, died so hastily that he did not have time to reveal the connections that the family had secretly developed over the years.

"Come on, young man. You must know that there are countless families in Askatra who are envious of you. After all, establishing friendship with a powerful elect of the gods and receiving their protection is not something casual. Everyone can enjoy it. Some guys are even jealous and say that you must have been kissed by Tymora, the goddess of luck, when you were born."

After saying these words of encouragement, Sir Crispian turned and left the parliament.

After he was completely gone, Babette couldn't help but whistled and joked: "Man, it seems you are really going to get lucky.

I heard my father mention it yesterday that the Council of Six seems to be planning to entrust Sir Crispian with an important task.

This means that he will soon gain a series of rights including trade and diplomacy.

With his support, you should soon be able to obtain the status of a senior councillor.

Don't underestimate this.

With this identity, you can truly gain the respect of other families and avoid being treated as a junior all the time. "

"Yes! Since I returned to Ascatla, I feel like I have suddenly changed. Everything is so smooth. It seems that I reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Soth at all costs, and it is indeed the best in this life. The most successful investment I have ever made." Bernard sighed slightly.

"By the way, when do you plan to hold a wedding for my sister, so that the relationship between our two families will become closer through marriage?" Babette asked with interest.

"Wait until Mr. Soss comes back. Besides, I've been so busy lately that I don't have the time and energy to prepare for the wedding." Bernard sighed with a wry smile.

Since all the brothers and sisters who had been fiercely competing with each other suddenly died, he now had to support the large chamber of commerce alone.

Fortunately, the family has always had the habit of cultivating and reserving talents. Otherwise, it would not be possible to recover from the chaos without half a year's effort, let alone expansion.

Babette shrugged indifferently: "Then wait a few more months. Anyway, the wedding is just a formality. By the way, I heard that you built an Oriental Continent on the original site of the Crooked Crane Hotel in Chengmen District. A Karatu-style restaurant? And it also provides authentic and delicious dishes?”

"Hahahaha! That's right. But that store does not belong to me, but is opened by Mr. Soth and a halfling chef. I guarantee that you will completely fall in love with them as long as you eat there once."

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Bernard immediately laughed happily.

Because this restaurant has only been open for less than five days, but it has already received unanimous praise from all the nobles and wealthy businessmen.

According to reports from the restaurant operations staff, the reservations for VIP members above the second floor have been delayed for a month.

As for the lobby on the first floor, which only serves relatively cheap dishes, it is always packed as soon as the doors open.

Some guests with picky tastes would rather wait at the door for an hour and a half than go to other hotels or pubs for a meal.

"Damn it! Then what are you waiting for? Take me for a big meal quickly. You know, when I was a child, I had always longed for the eastern continent Karatu described in books, and I was deeply obsessed with the mystery, prosperity, wealth and food culture there. "

After saying that, Babette directly dragged Bernard by the arm, dragged him into his carriage, and then galloped straight towards the city gate.

…

At the same time, in the private room of the masked mage's headquarters.

Zeranora was sitting at the dining table, enjoying the food that her men had just ordered from Zuo Si's restaurant. She asked without raising her head: "I asked you to investigate the movements of the Tangled Talisman in Askatra. There are results." Yet?"

"Yes, Master. We discovered that a chamber of commerce and several families have been secretly controlled by the men of Shangla, the Lord of Talisman." A young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties knelt down on one knee to report.

"Oh? What have they been doing lately?"

Zeranora used her slender fingers to open the shell of a lobster, dipped the white and tender meat into her mouth with the secret sauce, and felt the delicious taste coming from her tongue and taste buds.

no doubt.

Ever since she tasted the dishes cooked by the halfling chef Welby, she has been completely conquered by the deliciousness of these foods.

Nowadays, it is not only necessary to have three main meals a day, but also to add some exquisite and delicious snacks.

The young man replied cautiously: "According to our observations, the other party should be trying to establish a stable business relationship with Bernard, who has a close relationship with Soth. In addition, there was a mysterious woman not long ago. From them Came out of the secret stronghold in the Bridge District."

"woman?"

A strange color flashed in Zeranora's eyes.

"Yes. After these days of tracking, we found that she actually joined the Emerald Society."

The young man quickly told everything he knew.

Zeranora mocked with contempt on her face: "Emerald Society? Attack in the Yunwu Mountains? It seems that the Entangling Talisman has not given up the idea of ​​absorbing Xos into the organization. By the way, what are those idiots of the Emerald Society doing recently? ?”

"They seem to have the support of the elf mage in the sewers of Woking Mall area, and they are planning the second ambush on Soth. It is said that this time they are almost all out, and they even spent a lot of money to hire a man in Cherim. The black dragon that nests in the swamp of Ba.”

"Oh? After experiencing a failure, do they still realize what it means to be a chosen one favored by the gods?" Zeranora raised her eyebrows in surprise.

You must know that the traces of divine power on Zuo Si are so obvious that anyone with a little bit of theological experience should be able to feel it.

She really couldn't figure out how on earth those rotten fish in the Emerald Society dared to attack such people again and again.

Even if he succeeded by luck, wouldn't he be afraid of divine punishment from the goddess of poison and plague?

"I think Irenekas used some of the elves' unique magic skills as bargaining chips, so those few people chose to take risks." The young man responded in an uncertain tone.

As for Joan Irenikas, an outsider with extremely terrifying spellcasting ability, perhaps the other faction leaders of the Masked Mage Guild don't know about it yet, but as a servant of Zenora, he has already known about it.

But considering that this guy could be used to get rid of the leaders of several other masked mage factions at some point in the future, it was not announced to the outside world.

"Humph! What a group of greedy and extremely stupid people." Zeranora commented with a sneer.

But soon, she changed the topic and gave a straightforward order: "Immediately send someone to investigate the identity of that woman and her recent movements. I seriously suspect that this guy is Shangla, the Lord of Talisman, who has arranged to contact Soth. A chess piece. Joining the Emerald Society is just a cover to hide it from others."

"Don't worry. We have started to use prophecy spells to monitor her every move. If there is anything strange about her, you will know it as soon as possible."

After saying this, the young man stood up and slowly backed away, finally disappearing at the end of the corridor outside the room door.

After he was completely gone, an undead creature with a biting chill all over his body came out of the cabinet where he was hiding.

It looks like a humanoid skull wrapped in thick ice and snow skin.

The ice and snow formed complete skin and muscles, and huge uneven ice fragments were embedded in each finger, forming claws that were as sharp as blades.

There is no trace of ice on the skull's head above the neck, and a black flame surrounds the top of the head like a corona. From a distance, it looks like long flowing black hair.

Any necromancer with sufficient knowledge reserves can easily identify that this is a [Winter Ghost] that stands at the top of the necromantic creatures, a legendary creature that can compete with the Balor Balrog.

Only a handful of powerful legendary spellcasters who have mastered the true meaning of necromancy can possibly successfully create a winter ghost.

"Owner……"

The winter ghost who came out of the cabinet stood respectfully and bowed deeply to Zeranora who was sitting at the dining table enjoying the food.

"I need you on a mission now."

Zeranora raised her head and stared at the two flashes of light in Winter Ghost's eyes.

"No problem. Please tell me what the mission is."

Different from those low-level undead with little self-awareness.

Winter Ghost has enough intelligence attributes to not only learn one or two languages, but also to make judgments based on orders.

In other words, although they do not retain the memories and personalities of their lives, they are actually very similar to lichs and vampires, and both have the ability to think independently.

Zeranora picked up the napkin and wiped the sauce on the corners of her mouth and fingers, and said in a slightly playful tone: "I need you to follow Soth to see how he responded to the ambush of the Emerald Society. .If everything goes well, then you don't show up. If he's in trouble, then you help out a little bit."

"Do you need me to identify myself?"

The voice of the winter ghost seemed to come from the great glacier in the far north, which made people feel a chill coming from the bottom of their hearts.

"No, no need. I can't reveal my identity yet, at least not until Soth's position and attitude are confirmed. In addition, by the way, help me give this thing to Shaud Tarowen."

With that said, Zeranora threw a delicate small box to the winter ghost.

After catching it, the latter immediately turned around and activated the huge portal standing in the room, and then disappeared without a trace.

Watching the energy vortex in the middle of the portal gradually dissipate, Zeranora said to herself in a voice that only she could hear: "The Entanglement Talisman, the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicola Sagra, and those who stole The usurper of the great Shah En Throne. I swear in the name of Shah En VII that sooner or later I will take back what belongs to me and make you pay the price, the price of blood and death."

Obviously, this beautiful moon elf mage has long been replaced by the famous "Emperor of the Undead", the last monarch of the Calimshan Shane Dynasty - Shane VII.

This is why, after the end of the Year of Turmoil, Zelanora's spellcasting level rose rapidly, and she eventually became a high-ranking member of the Masked Mage Guild.

For a legendary demilich with a spellcasting level as high as LV36, this is just restoring his original strength, not the so-called "genius" that the masked mages think.

In fact, the "cross-dressing boss" Xia En VII who occupies the body of the moon elf has already recovered to the point where he can cast legendary magic.

But in order to keep a low profile and hide his identity, he has not shown it to anyone for the time being.

He knew very well how difficult it was to deal with his nemesis Ivykla Thagran "Sharp Tooth" and the entangled talisman that currently controlled Calimshan.

Therefore, it will not act rashly until it has enough power to defeat both of them.

Anyway, the elf body currently occupied can live for at least a few hundred years, and it can be transformed into a lich again after a few hundred years.

As the most powerful necromancy specialist mage in Faerûn, even one of them can be omitted. Shane VII has already completely defeated death.

Time has no meaning in his eyes.

Similarly, those ancient blue dragons Ivicola Sagram "Sharp Teeth" whom he regarded as his enemies, as well as the lich and vampires in the Entangling Talisman, are also ruthless characters who can stand in the long river of time.

So there is no need to be too anxious, you can plan your revenge slowly.

The undead emperor even wanted to use Zuo Si's chess piece to penetrate into the entangled talisman and collect as much information as possible on the talisman's master.

When the time is right, he will provoke a war between the Entangling Talisman and the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicola Saglan.

When the two sides fought until both sides were injured, he suddenly appeared and killed all the enemies in one go, restoring the Xia En Dynasty that had been destroyed for nearly a thousand years.

…

Zuo Si, who was far in the north and had just crossed the Troll Mountain, obviously didn't know that Zeranora, who had always had a good relationship with him, was actually the Undead Emperor Xia En VII.

Right now, he was sitting in the carriage, looking at the towering troll hills in the distance through the window, and a name came to his mind - Larok, the King of Wizards.

This powerful undead lich left over from the Netherese era currently lives in an unknown place in the mountains, quietly living a boring life in the kingdom of undead creatures he created with his own hands.

Unless someone comes looking for trouble without opening his eyes, he is basically harmless.

As a time traveler, Zuo Si really couldn't understand what these great arcanists who had witnessed the destruction of their civilization were thinking in their minds.

For most normal people, shouldn't they try to accumulate strength and then restore the glory of the Netheril era?

But neither Iolum, who started the golden age of Netheril civilization, nor Larok, the wizard king, seemed to have the slightest interest in this aspect.

Perhaps because it took too long to transform into a lich, it was inevitably affected by negative energy, slowly lost its sense of belonging to the country and race, and eventually became indifferent.

It is also possible that they know that with the second-generation Magic Goddess's modifications to the magic rules and magic network, it is destined that Faerun will never have a magic civilization as powerful as Netheril.

In comparison, the great arcanist left over from the era of Netheril, the famous "fat house" Lich Ovo in Faerûn, and the city lord of Shadow City who hides in the shadow plane - Telamante Tan Shure, on the other hand, is very interested in reviving Netheril civilization.

The former did not behave like a lich at all, and even once pursued Lyla, the chosen one of the goddess of magic, and tried to use the artifact "Crown of Horns" to transform her into an undead form to become his bride, and almost succeeded in becoming " "Tauren" greened Kelben's "Black Staff".

"Soss, what are you thinking so absorbed in?"

Isadora interrupted Zuo Si's thoughts with two big curious eyes.

Zuo Si smiled and shrugged: "It's nothing, I just want to try to understand some people's thoughts. But unfortunately, I found that I am still too weak to understand the way of thinking of those legendary spellcasters."

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side and do my best to help you fulfill your wish, even at the cost of my life." Isadora said seriously.

"Life is precious, never give it up lightly. Because only those who survive are qualified to talk about the future. If one day, unfortunately, I am killed by some more powerful existence. Then I hope you can escape and survive , and then find ways to get revenge instead of impulsively sacrificing in vain." Zuo Si gently stroked the girl's long golden hair and explained with sincerity.

The longer they spent together, the more he felt that there was a big problem with Isadora's mental state.

Although it seems that he has returned to normal on the surface, in fact, his character is very stubborn. Once he decides on something or someone, he will never change it.

For example, in the eyes of a girl, her eldest brother is an idiot and a waste.

Even though Bernard finally used the most traditional and bloody method of the Amn people to complete his revenge and regain everything that belonged to him, he still looked down upon him at all.

He even completely ignored the fact that he had such a close blood relative.

Every time the brother and sister met, Isadora would turn a blind eye to Bernard, as if this person did not exist at all, let alone say a word to the latter.

Just when the girl was about to say something, the carriage suddenly began to slow down and finally stopped completely.

Davian, who was in charge of driving, opened the door and said bluntly: "Master, further ahead is the ambush site set by the enemy. If you need to summon help, now is the best time."

"Is it finally going to start? I've been looking forward to it and excited for several days."

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth raised slightly, and without saying a word, he sent a message to his subordinates who had been waiting in the mage tower for many days through [SMS].

In about ten minutes, he opened a portal to the mage tower through the connection of the land card on the spot.

The next second...

Including the little devil who is a familiar, the half-orc Rhett, Alena, the steel golem, Wilmes and the strange object, as well as the super giant mutated hound that just gave birth to a litter of more than a dozen dragonborn cubs. A lot of people came out from the other side of the door.

Counting the two [Mystic] levels obtained in Candlekeep, Zuo Si's arcane spellcasting level has reached LV7.

So the moment the little devil appeared, he felt the close connection between the two.

He is not even sure whether the [Spell Sharing] between the master and the familiar will take effect if he uses a spell card like [War God Possession].

If the answer is yes, then it is necessary to equip the little devil with a powerful magic weapon.

"Where is the enemy?"

Alaina asked, looking around, exuding a bellicose air.

"Don't worry. The enemy is ambushing on both sides of the road a few kilometers ahead. When it gets completely dark, it's time for us to rush over and start killing."

Zuo Si gave his follower a calm look.

When she heard that there were still several hours before she could take action, Alena suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. She sat down on the grass without a ladylike image and muttered in a low voice: "Damn it! I hate the long wait."

But at this time, no one would pay attention to her teasing from the chaotic camp.

"I heard that there is a black dragon among the enemies this time?" Wilmes asked greedily.

"That's right. If you can completely subdue or knock this guy out without killing him, then you can share a share of the treasure in his lair."

Zuo Si made his promise straightforwardly.

He is not the kind of black-hearted capitalist who just makes people work without giving any benefits.

In order to encourage Wilmes to exert his "subjective initiative", the benefits that should be given must be given.

"No problem, leave it to me. It's just a lowly black dragon. I killed it myself ten years ago."

Wilmes grinned with a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.

You must know that the five-color evil dragon does not have as many stinky rules as the metal dragon of the good camp.

Especially the arrogant and cruel red dragon may be a little kind to his own kind.

But when dealing with other evil dragons, they will definitely kill them without hesitation, and then sweep away the treasures in their lairs.

"No, no, no, what I want is not a dead black dragon, but a half-dead black dragon. You have to be careful, otherwise the treasure will be gone." Zuo Si reminded meaningfully.

You don't need to ask to know that this is the plan to make the black dragon into a creature card.

After all, he wants to be the man who collects illustrations of all creatures in Faerûn. Of course, not one of the different dragons can be left behind.

"Master, there is absolutely no need for you to worry about this. I will take over the body at the critical moment to ensure that the black dragon does not die."

The strange thing suddenly intervened through the spiritual connection.

Upon hearing this, Wilmes' face suddenly became ugly.

Because what she hates most is being forcibly deprived of control over her body.

I can only be like a bystander, watching my body being controlled by another consciousness.

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about the red dragon's little resistance. He pointed at the giant mutant hound not far away and asked, "How has this guy behaved recently? Is he still so violent and aggressive?"

"Yes. It seemed to be in some kind of permanent rage.

As soon as the control power becomes slightly weaker, it will immediately start to attack all living creatures within sight until it is torn into pieces, chewed and swallowed.

Through this frenzied feeding, it not only acquires incredible regeneration capabilities, but also continues to grow larger and larger. "

Qiwu explained in a tone without any emotion.

"Infinite regeneration and growth? Any weaknesses? Like being afraid of fire and acid like the trolls are?"

Zuo Si touched his chin and showed an interested look.

He was really curious about what kind of mysterious space he entered when he lit the spark, and it could contain such an amazingly powerful chaos factor.

It is estimated that this behemoth's body has completely lost any "dog" genes, and has completely mutated into another unknown creature.

What also puzzled Zuo Si was that he had clearly stayed in that space for so long, and even his clothes were contaminated with a large amount of chaos factors.

Why can humans still maintain their body shape without drastic changes, but only regress in age?

Could it be that all of this is the effect of the planeswalker's spark?

Qiwu answered without thinking: "According to the test results, its ability does not seem to be subject to any restrictions.

No matter whether it is acid, fire, frost, lightning, sound waves, positive energy, negative energy and other energy attacks, they can't prevent the rapid regeneration of its wounds.

But I haven't tried instant death spells.

So it is unclear whether it will be killed by magic such as the finger of death or the killing spell. "

Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, it looks like it should be a good combat force. When the battle starts at night, try to let it deal with monsters such as trolls. By the way, those half-dragon cubs What about the cubs? Are they as unintelligent as their mother?"

"No. Those half-dragon cubs are quite smart, and they only become violent when they are extremely angry. If nothing else happens, the next generation will mate with other dogs, and a stable group of dragon-born magical creatures should be born. ." Qi Wu quickly corrected it.

"Sounds like good news."

Zuo Si's mind immediately came alive when he learned that his first attempt at cross-breeding a "dragon dog" was a great success.

After all, dragons have powerful reproductive abilities that can go from A to Z in the Monster Manual.

If this is not put to good use, how can it be worthy of the dead Bertorgas.

When I get back, I will arrange all the "Dragon Horse", "Totoro", "Dragon Tiger", "Dragon Bear", "Dragon Eagle", "Dragon Lion", "Dragon Elephant", etc.

Ensure that this mature red dragon has the largest number of heirs in Faerûn.

I don’t know if the creatures still retain the ability to reproduce after being turned into cards.

If so, the two white dragons and the Oranli multi-headed dragon can all be used.

Seeing Zuo Si's terrifying reaction with his eyes shining, Wilmes immediately felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

She had seen the miserable situation of the goblins under the Mage Tower, and understood what a terrifying soul was hidden in the body of this boy who looked only ten years old.

Zuo Si camped on the spot and waited patiently for darkness to reach the ambush site a few kilometers away.

The Dracolich Barisriat has quietly completed the poisoning mission using the shadow army hidden in the darkness.

A whole jar of mixture of viruses, bacteria and toxins separated through divine power was put into the cauldron one after another, and was devoured by the monsters.

Even the senior officials and apprentices of the Emerald Society are no exception.

After all, as long as a person is not dead, he must supplement his nutrition through eating to maintain his own survival needs.

The five high-level mages felt that everything was under control, so they did not use detection poison on the food with added ingredients.

It is estimated that in their view, they are the one taking the initiative to attack and have the absolute initiative, so there is no need to worry too much.

The only ones unaffected are probably the undead creatures and constructs.

Among them, the vampires who retain their memories and wisdom during their lifetime are definitely the biggest threat to this ambush.

And Balisriyat was not sure whether the mixture of viruses, bacteria and toxins could have an effect on the black dragon not far away.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the sun finally set in the west, the surrounding environment became dark, and the sound of horse hooves finally came from far and near.

Not long after, a carriage slowly appeared in the middle of the road.

"Do it!"

After confirming that the person sitting in the carriage was Zuo Si himself, a high-level mage from the Emerald Society immediately sent an attack signal to others.

moment!

Another high-level mage who had been waiting for a long time released the eight-ring magic [Dimensional Lock].

Unlike the four-ring [Dimensional Anchor] which only lasts for a few minutes, the duration of this spell is calculated in terms of "days", and its coverage is amazing.

Basically once it is released, it means that no one can escape through teleportation magic until the winner is determined.

The moment a barrier shining with emerald green light enveloped the carriage.

Several [Advanced Dispelling Magic] fell from the sky!

Directly damaging spells such as fireballs, lightning, strong acid, and frost flew over the sky, smashing the magic carriage presented by the six-member Amn Council to pieces on the spot.

But this is not the end.

Various charm control spells followed.

[Grease Technique], [Spider Web Technique], [Stinky Cloud Technique], [Aivar Black Tentacle], [Restraint Technique], [Law: Shock], [Dominate Humanity], [Retarded Mentality Technique], [Confusion Technique], [ [Deep Sleep], [Human Immobilization], etc. were thrown down as if they were free of money.

In order to successfully capture Zuo Si, the senior leaders of the Jade Society spent a lot of money.

The moment the spell bombing ended, the vampires immediately controlled trolls, hobgoblins, bugbears and other cannon fodder to swarm forward, surrounding the carriage wreckage.

Just when one of the high-level mages was looking forward to seeing the half-dead target, a joking voice suddenly came from above.

"Are you looking for me?"

I saw Zuo Si, who was supposed to be sitting in the carriage, now standing in the sky above his head with his elect ability [Walking in the Sky].

Obviously, through the card [True Phantom], he successfully deceived the enemy in the first round, which was also the long-planned and most violent round of spell bombing.

"No! Our plan has been exposed! Quick! Get him down from the sky!" The leading high-level mage turned around and shouted at his companions.

Just when another high-level mage was about to chant a spell, Zuo Si suddenly took out a jar filled with unknown dust from his satchel, then opened the lid and lifted it downwards.

Before the former had time to react, he activated a [Wind Creation] card.

As a strong wind blew by, the dust in the sky was blown in front of the high-level mages of the Emerald Society.

Following the mage who had just chanted half of the spell, he immediately felt that his eyes, throat, nose and throat were extremely itchy, and he was unable to concentrate on casting spells at all.

After just two or three seconds, I couldn't help but start sneezing, crying, and having a runny nose. At the same time, it became extremely difficult to breathe.

Not only him, but all people or monsters who accidentally inhaled the dust showed similar reactions.

Some of them were so severe that they could not breathe at all. They fell to the ground and their faces were red from holding it in. Even if they drank several bottles of [Antidote] and [Disease Removal Potion], there was no sign of improvement.

In this state, not to mention chanting spells and casting spells, even activating slightly more complicated magic items is quite laborious.

"Ahem...you...what did you do to us? Why...why didn't the potion work?" A high-level mage finally panicked.

At this moment, he realized how terrible it was to be an enemy of the chosen people of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease.

Looking at the group of enemies struggling on the ground, Zuo Si pretended to be kind and explained: "It's very simple! You are not poisoned at all now. Nor are you suffering from the plague or disease that most people think.

Or it may be said that you were poisoned before, but the toxin has been exhausted and caused irreversible changes to the body's immune system.

Of course, if you understand what the immune system is.

What I just sprinkled was ordinary pollen.

It's just a trigger, a key to triggering a reaction called anaphylaxis.

This is a stress response that occurs in the body's immune system.

Strictly speaking, it is not a disease at all.

So the potion you drink will not have any effect.

At least magical spells and potions such as [Remove Disease] cannot cure it.

How about it, does it feel bad to be attacked by your own immune system?

Don't worry!

This is just the beginning, the real fun is yet to come.

You know, in order to entertain you well, I have carefully prepared several feasts. "

After saying that, Zuo Si raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

When the sound echoed in everyone's ears, the mage, who was already suffering from hay fever, immediately felt his trachea contract violently and spasm.

At the same time, it is accompanied by severe symptoms such as uncontrolled severe coughing, shortness of breath, dizziness and headache, fever all over the body, and chest tightness.

You don’t need to ask to know that these are asthma caused by viruses.

Since pollen allergy is an attack on the respiratory tract, the combined power of the two is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The most important thing is that the mages of the Emerald Society have just drunk all the [antidote] and [disease removal potion] they carried with them in panic, and now they have no treatment methods when facing real diseases.

Several old mages who were not in good physical condition gradually became confused when their brains were unable to obtain sufficient oxygen.

Seeing that there were still two high-level mages who had not given up their struggle and were still trying to use magic items and props, Zuo Si immediately activated the third gift after toxins and viruses - bacteria without hesitation.

To be precise, it is a mutant diphtheria bacillus that has been enhanced to an epic level.

This is also a bacterium that can wreak alarming damage to the respiratory system and cause severe inflammation.

Obviously, Zuo Si knew very well what the caster's weaknesses were, so he used such a combo attack targeting the respiratory system.

First use a small amount of toxins to destroy the immune system, making it inevitable to cause allergic reactions to pollen, and at the same time trick the enemies into drinking the [antidote] and [disease removal agent] they carry with them.

Then a two-pronged approach was used to control the asthma virus and diphtheria bacilli to multiply in a short period of time using the elect's ability to ensure that the mage could not sing even a single word of the spell.

And as breathing becomes more and more difficult, the oxygen-deprived brain cannot maintain normal thinking and consciousness, and naturally cannot maintain the concentration necessary for casting spells.

He couldn't even concentrate for a second to activate magic items, let alone give orders to the undead and constructs.

Unless some high-level mage wears a magic item that can instantly turn him into a spirit, undead creature or construct.

Otherwise, you can only fall into a coma during slow suffocation and become a lamb at the mercy of others.

Relying on his understanding and use of toxins, bacteria and viruses, Zuo Si easily took down the five highest-level high-level mages present, as well as a large number of low-level mages and monsters that were affected.

Although there are still a few guys in the distance trying to use fireball and lightning for long-range attacks.

But unfortunately, their spellcasting level is obviously not high, and even the elect's ability [Protection from Energy Damage] failed to penetrate and was completely absorbed.
