A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

You can even vote in a fair, just, democratic and free election to become a respected councilor or mayor with great power!

Believe me, even in the Seventh Heaven Mountain, which is known as the most kind, it is absolutely impossible to get such an opportunity!

So I suggest that before today’s game begins, let us express our gratitude to Lord Soth with gratitude!

Without him, we would not be able to have such a happy life, let alone gain true freedom!

Of course, let us also express our respect for the enlightened and wise Lord of Hell, His Majesty Asmodeus.

Look!

He also came to the VIP seat of the stadium today and was waving to everyone.

How approachable and kind!

Even if you search the entire universe, there will never be another supreme ruler who is willing to condescend and enjoy the happiness of the people in this way!

I was so moved that I almost cried!

Finally a commercial break!

The Beyond Limits Drug Company, owned by the Succubus Queen Mecanshut, has recently successfully developed a new potion that can greatly increase the sensitivity and endurance of any creature when it comes to enjoying desires.

Remember, I am the commentator you can always trust - Lytle.

Next, please allow me to introduce the contestants of today’s Props Rally around the City one by one.

First up is our perennial champion, Mr. Bagher from the Burning Hell.

As a yugoloth, he has successfully won the championship four times and is by far the most powerful of all the remaining players.

In addition, at his own request, I hereby solemnly warn those in the main material plane not to refer to Jiao Yan as salt and pepper, otherwise our champion will be angry.

Next up is the recently famous Devil Boy and his tiefling girlfriend.

The pair had successfully defeated forty competitors in the first two obstacle races.

The scene was as bloody as a slaughterhouse.

Because of this, they have a high popularity.

Let us look forward to seeing what kind of exciting performance they can give to the audience in today's game..."

Accompanied by the impassioned voice of the fraud demon named Lytle, the largest comprehensive arena in the center of the cyberpunk city on the ninth level of hell suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Millions of spectators are gathering here, shouting various slogans crazily to support the players they bet on.

There are also those who simply come to have fun and enjoy the blood-spewing death scenes during the game.

That kind of terrifying and fanatical atmosphere makes many mortals soar with adrenaline, completely immersed in this strong stimulation and excitement and unable to extricate themselves.

Some even started to stage human-creation exercises on the spot, venting the blood that was about to boil in their bodies.

Others poured pills and potions made of unknown materials into their mouths, twitching and swaying like crazy.

You must know that the scene in front of you is just the situation at the scene!

In addition, there are hundreds of millions of mortals, demons and creatures from other outer planes sitting in homes, restaurants, squares, bars, dance halls and other places, staring at electronic screens and 3D projections.

There is no doubt that as the reputation of cyberpunk cities continues to spread, more and more people begin to flock here as expected, and are deeply attracted by its environment, system and laws that are completely different from other levels of hell. attract.

The most important thing is that it's not dangerous at all!

And you can experience the ultimate indulgence and happiness that cannot be enjoyed in other places. Even the outer plane that is also known as the place where people can linger and forget to leave - the Paradise cannot compare with it.

After all, the latter tend to be kind in general, so many desires that are considered depraved and taboo cannot be satisfied.

But the ninth level of Baator Hell is different!

No matter how depraved or taboo the desire is, as long as you are willing to pay enough money and prove that the other party is "voluntary" through legal means, it will not be considered a crime.

In addition, there is another problem with the Paradise, that is, mortals will gradually lose themselves if they stay there for a long time, and they will not even remember who they are.

Therefore, most rational mortals would not choose to stay in Elysium for a long time.

But this cyberpunk city is different. At most, it will only make mortals become more evil and depraved, but will not change their personality or memory.

Therefore, for many guys from the evil camp, this place is simply a dream paradise.

Soon, with a loud whistle, the prop rally around the city finally started.

Amidst the roar of oil engines, thousands of vehicles with various exaggerated modifications rushed out with a roar.

Before they even drove out of the arena along the runway, dozens of unlucky people were either crushed or torn apart by strange weapons.

In short, the scene of plasma exploding and limbs, internal organs and heads flying around immediately made all the audiences who bought tickets to enjoy the scene.

Especially those who were watching this kind of violent and bloody game for the first time opened their eyes wide, held their breath, and their hearts beat violently at several times the usual speed.

Stimulate!

So exciting!

When a high-level angel from the upper plane saw this scene, he immediately frowned subconsciously, but didn't say much.

Because she knows that these contestants are all voluntary, and there is no forced factor in it.

So even though I was extremely disgusted in my heart, I could only hold my nose and admit it.

As for whether it is really "voluntary" or "voluntary", the devil's law enforcement agencies don't care.

Anyway, it is enough to have the contract certificate issued by the notary public.

To be precise, in the eyes of this high-ranking angel, this place is already much better than other levels of hell, and at least it has the value of being "redeemed."

Therefore, many celestial beings like her have led their men to move in, trying to complete the transformation and redemption of the ninth floor by expanding the ideas and influence of the good camp.

It's just that the idea is very rich, but the reality is very skinny.

Although many angels are doing their best to participate in the election, trying to instill the concept of justice in mortals and those fallen souls.

But there are very few people who are really willing to accept it.

Quite the opposite!

On the contrary, they are full of interest in this kind of evil, violent and bloody competition, or they are keen to indulge and vent their dark desires.

Even some originally kind angels were gradually corrupted by the evil in the hell plane, and some people continued to degenerate into devils.

However, many high-level angels did not flinch.

In their view, this is the price that must be paid for a greater redemption.

The main reason for the fall of those similar ones is that their faith is not strong enough, but they and other angels with strong faith will definitely be able to persevere until the final day of victory.

Feeling the boiling evil and depravity of the entire ninth level, as well as the dark sides emerging from the hearts of the angels from the upper planes, Asmodeus, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had an expression of great satisfaction on his face. .

As the Lord of Hell, he is very aware of the huge benefits this kind of publicity and diffusion can bring to the devils.

Not to mention anything else, the number of souls falling into hell is increasing at an unimaginable speed.

In addition to quantity, any soul that has been deeply corrupted and fallen on the ninth level can also squeeze out several times more sacred energy than the original.

Therefore, in terms of performance evaluation, Zuo Si's KPI completion is several miles ahead of other lords at other levels.

The most important thing is that this is a sustainable development that will snowball and get bigger in the future.

It won't take long for the devil himself to be evenly matched with the abyss demons, even without the help of other lawful forces, or even have a slight advantage.

Just when Asmodeus was considering the specific matters about restarting the bloody battle, a tall and plump lust demon suddenly opened the door of the VIP room and walked in. He asked in a slightly angry tone: "Father, why do you want to give me this gift?" That power of attorney from Soth? What did I do wrong that made you want an outsider to restrain me?"

You don't need to ask to know that the visitor is none other than Gracia, the lord of the sixth level.

Obviously, this hell princess was full of doubts, confusion and resentment towards her father's move.

Because she simply couldn't figure out why Asmodeus had to impose unnecessary restrictions while giving himself such an important position.

"outsider?"

The Lord of Hell glanced at his daughter with a slightly amused look, and then responded condescendingly: "No, you are wrong, my daughter.

Soth is not an outsider, but the prince of hell appointed by me personally.

In his understanding of law and evil, he is far superior to all other demons, including you, and has even won the favor of the entire plane of hell.

See how much benefit he has brought to us since joining Hell?

And look at the impact that the booming development of the Ninth Plane has on the entire universe?

Compared to you, he is actually closer to me.

What's more, I gave him that authorization for your own good.

After all, until now, you have not understood what the politics of hell are all about, and how the courts of lords at various levels operate.

You are just using your identity as my daughter to unscrupulously break all kinds of unwritten rules, and you have already touched the bottom line of many lords.

If this continues, once they unite to attack you, even I will have a hard time keeping you.

So I hope you can learn from Soth and see how he solves these problems and troubles within the rules, while winning the respect and awe of the lords at other levels. "

"What did he do?"

Gracia was keenly aware that there was something in her father's words and immediately began to test him.

Although she successfully placed many sexual demons and snake and scorpion demon spies in Zuo Si's court.

But these spies obviously can't really touch the core area of ​​​​the rule, nor can they find out the real secrets.

Because the inner circle is composed of subordinate level lords such as Zariel, Malkanthet, and Onixiz who have been perfected by Shimmering Oil, rather than the high-level devils who appear to deceive the enemy.

Asmodeus pursed his lips and said meaningfully: "Did you know that there is a pleasure demon named Gramir under Soth?"

"Gramiel? The secretary he appointed?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Gracia's face.

She had obviously heard of this particularly favored female devil, and even knew many rumors about the ambiguity between the two, such as various versions of office PLAY, but she did not know its true origin.

But considering the obvious hint of the Lord of Hell, it would be an absolute fool to regard it as an ordinary pleasure demon.

"Look, this is what I keep telling you.

You thought you had spies and informants around each lord.

But actually nothing is known about their real secret.

A lot of what you know is deliberately leaked to you, or used as smoke bombs to mislead you into making wrong judgments.

So let’s investigate Gramir’s identity carefully.

When you know the truth, you'll understand what Soth is doing.

Remember, although he is not always plotting and eager to gain more power and strength like other devils, it does not mean that he is not dangerous.

In other words, he is the most dangerous and terrifying existence in the whole hell besides me.

When Soth focuses on someone, it means that the person has no room to retreat or escape.

You have much to learn, my dear daughter. "

After saying these words, Asmodeus bent down and kissed the Demon Queen's forehead, then turned into a wisp of flame and disappeared from the place.

Watching her father leave, Gracia's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she immediately waved to the femme fatale behind her who was in charge of intelligence work.

The scorpion demon hurriedly dragged his fat body closer and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty the Queen, do you have any orders?"

"How much information do you know about the pleasure demon secretary next to Soth, especially her identity?" The Hell Princess asked straightforwardly.

"You mean Gramir?

As far as I know, she was born on the fourth plane and seems to be very close to your ally Ms. Fierna.

The only thing that is a little unusual is that as a pleasure demon, she is still a virgin who has never experienced the pleasure of fish and water.

I think this may be the reason why Ms. Fierna sent it to the ninth floor as a gift.

After all, Lord Soth was a mortal before, so he may be a little pickier in this regard, preferring exclusive use rather than sharing.

In addition, Gramir returned to the fourth level as a messenger of the ninth level some time ago.

Although it is not yet certain, there are many signs that indicate that the current tense and confrontational situation on the fourth level is most likely due to her relationship. "

The Snake Devil Intelligence Chief didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly shook off everything he knew in one breath.

"Is it related to Fierna? You mean... Soth is intervening in the power struggle on the fourth level? Even if he is not in hell at all now?"

Gracia opened her mouth in disbelief.

You must know that the power struggle that may break out between the father and daughter on the fourth level has always been the focus of the entire hell.

After all, the devils all know that there is no family affection at all in the face of huge power.

It was only a matter of time before Ms. Ferna and Archduke Bilaire broke out in conflict or even civil war.

Especially the relatively young former, once they mature mentally and taste the taste of power, they will inevitably use their legal status as lords to do something to weaken the power in the hands of the latter, and finally achieve monopoly of power and become a veritable lord, rather than a mere lord. A controlled puppet.

Grand Duke Bilaire also knew this very well, so every once in a while he would find a way to be alone with his daughter in the room, teaching her the skills of pain and pleasure, in order to deepen mutual intimacy and trust.

Of course, everyone understands this so-called "teaching".

So although many big devils, even Gracia herself, want to get involved in order to gain a loyal ally.

But unfortunately, no matter how she incited Fierna to rebel against her father, she ultimately did not get the desired result.

Therefore, Gracia simply could not accept that Zuo Si had completely intensified the conflict on the fourth level by simply using some means to control the situation. All the forces had begun to openly take sides, and a decisive battle was about to break out.

The Snake Devil intelligence chief carefully observed his lord's reaction, and then explained in a low voice: "Sorry, our spies can't find any evidence to prove this.

I also don't understand, if all this is really Lord Soth's plan, then what is his motive.

At least on the surface, Ms. Filna is at an absolute disadvantage in this power struggle.

If there had been no interference from outside forces, Archduke Bilaire would have had a very high chance of winning.

perhaps……

Lord Soss also hides some behind-the-scenes tricks that we don't know about. "

"Damn it! Find out all this right away! Otherwise I will dig out your internal organs and feed them to the little devil!"

Gracia was so angry that she picked up the whip and struck the scorpion demon hard.

The latter didn't even dare to hide, and his head, as plump and huge as a toad, was suddenly torn open with a bloodstain.

It can be seen that this spoiled princess of hell has a bad temper and is very cold and cruel.

The Snake Demon intelligence manager endured the pain and the resentment gushing out of his heart, pretending to be loyal and nodded: "Understood!

Don't worry, I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back.

But do you want to pause for a moment about your offerings and callings to the Order in the physical world?

Otherwise, if I go to the material plane, it will be difficult for me to send the information to you as soon as possible. "

"No! It's business as usual!

It just so happened that I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to observe Soss closely and find out his thoughts and hobbies.

By the way, remember to find me a better body.

Preferably a tiefling with demonic blood. "

After saying that, Gracia raised her head and glanced at the fierce fighting and racing on the big screen, as well as the gods who were attracted, and then turned around and left the VIP seat with elegant steps.

…

About ten hours later, far away in the Amn Empire in the world of Toril, a group of scantily clad young people gathered in a wilderness far away from towns and villages under the cover of night.

They first lit a bonfire, and then used the firelight to start drawing huge and complex magic patterns in the open space according to a book.

On the carriage not far away were five or six kidnapped sacrifices.

Most of them were elves and half-elves living in the forest, and the most conspicuous one was a female half-elf tiefling whose forehead, face and arms were smeared with red blood.

She looked obviously underage, only about 1.45 meters tall, with a pair of curved horns on her forehead and a slender tail behind her butt, but she did not have the iconic wings and reddish skin. , but very white.

If nothing else, this tiefling is obviously not a first-generation hybrid, but a mutant who is separated by who knows how many generations.

Maybe someone among the ancestors had a relationship with a creature from the lower plane, or they may have signed some kind of contract, or they may have received a blessing or a curse, so the bloodline contains this kind of power.

There is a high probability that his parents are no different in appearance from normal elves, humans, and half-elves, but they suddenly gave birth to a child with obvious blood from the lower planes.

This is where most tieflings in Faerûn come from.

Often, these children with obvious demonic or devilish blood are often abandoned by their frightened parents.

The unlucky ones may not survive even a few days before they starve to death and become food for wild beasts.

But there are always lucky ones who survive, or are adopted by individuals and organizations with ulterior motives, and are eventually trained to become thieves, assassins, or join an army of beggars and wander the streets.

The one in front of her clearly belongs to the former, as can be seen from the good development of her body and the well-trained muscles of her thighs and arms.

In particular, the six-pack abs on her belly are very obvious, which is definitely not what ordinary girls of this age can have.

Moreover, the naked back is covered with large and small scars, most of which should be marks of being beaten with a whip.

At this moment, the half-elf tiefling was obviously trying to save himself, desperately trying to cut the rope with a hidden stone.

But unfortunately, the kidnappers paid special attention to her.

Before it could be cut in half, he was discovered by a guard holding a weapon next to him.

The latter didn't even say a word nonsense. He picked up the hilt of the sword and hit her hard on the head. The tiefling rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

When she woke up again, she found that she was tied to a huge wooden shelf.

As for the other prisoners, they were all disemboweled and turned into mutilated corpses.

The pungent smell of blood and the horrific scene immediately caused the tiefling girl to scream harshly.

"Ahhhhh!!!!!! Don't... don't kill me! I can steal and make money! As long as you let me go, I will do anything."

"Hehe! Relax, little guy. Unlike those garbage as sacrifices, you have a more important purpose."

A woman in her thirties, wearing what looked like sexy lingerie, stuck out her tongue and licked the tiefling girl's face, then opened her mouth and forcefully drank a bottle of liquid.

Although the latter struggled desperately to vomit it out, the former stuck his fingers into his throat, causing it to enter his esophagus and stomach before he could vomit.

After just a few seconds, the tiefling girl began to notice an abnormal reaction in her body. She gradually became unbearably hot and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

"Haha, what a cutie. I think the great Gracia will be very satisfied with this body."

As the last word blurted out, the woman directly hugged the tiefling and began to kiss and caress it, causing it to fall into an uncontrollable estrus state.

Seeing this, the other young people also took off their clothes and hugged each other to stage a restricted scene, and they also made bursts of weird syllables in their mouths.

If mages and scholars versed in the language were present, it would be easy to discern that these syllables were actually Infernal.

The content is also very simple, just words to praise the current queen of lust, Gracia.

After a while, a huge shadow appeared in the middle of the huge bonfire.

When the leading woman realized that the great devil she served and believed in had arrived, she immediately stopped all movements, knelt on the ground and held the holy book high above her head.

In contrast, those young people who fell into the trap of desire acted like crazy, engaging in strenuous exercise far beyond the limits of their bodies, until one after another they foamed at the mouth and convulsed to death.

The moment the last unlucky guy died, the black shadow that was almost condensing into substance poured into the tiefling girl's body.

The next second...

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Dazzling fire burst out from her body, forming a pair of huge wings behind her. Then she walked slowly down from the wooden shelf while stepping on the hot flames. She raised her hand and gently touched the cheek of the last surviving believer present and said: " You did a great job! Much better than I expected! As a reward, I will give you a body and appearance that will never age."

The words have not yet been spoken!

A mark with the aura of hell was branded on the woman's forehead.

The crow's feet that had appeared slightly in the corners of her eyes, and her skin that had become dull over time, returned to the state they had when she was seventeen or eighteen in the blink of an eye.

There is no doubt that Gracia, the lord of the sixth level of Baator Hell, successfully descended to the material plane.

Although it is only in the form of possession, it is enough to frighten mortals.

"Great Queen of Desire, noble princess from Baator Hell, thank you for your generous gift. I swear that I will serve you throughout my life until the end of my life."

The woman got down excitedly and kissed each other's insteps and toes.

The reason why she chose a big devil instead of a god as her belief was so that she could stay young forever and not age again, so that she could continue to seduce powerful men with her beauty.

In terms of preserving their beauty and youth, some women are absolutely crazy to a degree that men simply cannot imagine.

For this reason, they even sold their souls, sacrificed their children, killed their husbands and parents, bathed in the blood of innocent girls, and ate the flesh soup of unformed babies.

From the dress and manner of the Gracia believer in front of him, it is easy to tell that he definitely comes from a wealthy businessman or aristocratic family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract so many young people who are keen on indulgence and enjoyment through banquets and dances.

"Very good! I accept your allegiance. Now get up, take me out of this deserted place, and tell me about the current situation of the world on the way."

After saying that, the Hell Princess harvested the souls of the dead around her and walked straight towards the carriage parked not far away.

Although the scent that she inadvertently exuded made sensitive animals like horses very nervous, the woman still found a way to calm the horse's emotions, and then drove straight towards the castle she owned.

As for the corpses left behind by the sacrifices and summoning rituals, the beasts in the forest will naturally help clean them up later.

With Amn's current population density, not to mention throwing dozens or twenty corpses in the wild, even killing people and hiding corpses around the town might not be discovered.

This can be gleaned from the incomplete human skeletons in the sewers.

…

On the other side, Zuo Si obviously didn't know that Gracia had arrived, and was still dealing with various complicated matters in Ximen, building up the bureaucratic governance system bit by bit from scratch.

In addition to internal affairs, he also met with Tumis, a neighboring country in the south separated by the Oslang Mountains, as well as envoys from city-states and countries along the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

It was obvious that Amn's sudden and rapid expansion and its strong strength in the war made them all very nervous.

Therefore, the purpose of sending envoys was to test the situation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was for trade.

After all, huge airships are constantly transporting specialties from the West Coast and the New World to various cities on the Dragon Coast, and anyone who is not blind can see them.

A little smarter businessmen and rulers can smell the smell of money and wealth.

Coupled with the help of the Woking Church as a bridge, Zuo Si signed no less than thirty trade agreements in a very short period of time.

Unlike the local natives who were short-sighted and only saw immediate benefits, he formulated a long-term and grand plan with the help of floating city economic experts.

This plan will use a series of complex and hidden means to turn Faerûn's most elite center of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars into an economic vassal attached to the West Coast Empire.

To put it simply, it is to use it as a source of resources and raw materials, as well as a dumping market for goods, to heavily support comprador regimes like Baldur's Gate Maritime Merchants.

By constantly sucking blood from these places to support the expensive magic education system.

In addition, Zuo Si also hopes to attract more high-quality people to fill the almost empty land.

You must know that the east-west span of Faerûn is more than 5,600 kilometers, and the north-south span is more than 4,000 kilometers.

For comparison, the United States of America on Earth is only 4,500 kilometers long from east to west, and only 2,700 kilometers long from north to south.

Therefore, after the merger of the Amn Empire and the Sharn Empire, excluding Luskan in the far north and the Neransir Islands on the sea, the span from Wan Ting River in the north to Calim Port in the south will be almost 1,677 years old. One hundred kilometers from east to west, two thousand kilometers from east to west.

Calculated, it is almost equivalent to an area less than half of the United States.

The most important thing is that, except for the Kalin Desert in the south, this is almost the warmest, most humid and suitable place for farming and living in the entire Faerûn continent.

But the combined population is less than 20 million.

Carlingshan had the largest population, about seven or eight million after the emancipation of the slaves;

Tethyr is relatively small, with a population of about four million despite enduring a long war;

Amn only has between 3 million and 3.5 million;

The West Hartland region is even more pitiful with a population of only 16.7 million;

The Dragon Coast is even worse, with a population of less than one million, only a mere 800,000.

This is the result of adding together halflings, elves, half-elves, dwarves, dwarves, and half-orcs who are willing to obey management.

If we count the number of humans alone, they may only account for 80% of the total population.

Therefore, Zuo Si urgently needs to increase the population quantity and density within his rule.

Because to cultivate arcane spellcasters in large quantities, you first need to have enough geniuses with high intelligence attributes.

Apart from increasing the total population base, this thing has no good solution at all.

And only with more people can we suppress the endless monsters in the wild, start social reform and magic industrialization, and finally achieve the transcendence of the two magical civilizations of Netheril and Imaskar.

In Zuo Si's view, he needs at least 100 million healthy adult labor force to barely achieve the small target he set.

Staring at the map and population markers hanging in the room, he asked without looking back: "In the first phase of the ten magic academies, which cities do you think are better to open?"

"Hmm... I think Baldur's Gate, Ashkatra, Esmirtalan, Zazespur, Calimport, Suldover, Simon, and Iliaba are all good choices.

In short, it is better to be as close as possible to a city with a dense population and prosperous commerce and trade.

Because on the one hand, there are relatively many educated and intelligent people in such places, and on the other hand, it is convenient to obtain various materials and resources.

I suggest that it would be better to build the academy a little further away from the city, rather than still within the city walls.

Otherwise, if those apprentices accidentally make any big noise, it will be difficult to end it. "

Ovo, the fat house lich who had just arrived from his lair, answered without thinking.

Due to his rich experience in opening magic schools (although they all ended in failure in the end), he was appointed as the chief consultant on magic education, responsible for helping to make suggestions to promote the popularization and development of magic education.

The next step is to compile an easy-to-understand textbook and distribute it to each college as the official designated version.

These rookies are not allowed to have access to any other knowledge until they have completed basic enlightenment education and gained the ability to perform zero-ring magic.

This is mainly done to protect young apprentices from dying too early.

After all, you never know if a teenager suddenly gets the name of a demon and happens to be able to draw a summoning circle, whether he will secretly summon it out of strong curiosity.

"How do you solve this problem, teacher? Although I have many mages under my command, not all of them may have the patience to teach students." Zuo Si touched his chin and continued to ask.

He had been an apprentice for a long time, but he knew very well what an apprentice was in the eyes of those evil archmages.

In the eyes of these guys, apprentices are relatively expensive consumables and free assistants and experimental materials.

So if the lichs from the Arcane Society were allowed to serve as teachers in the academy, Zuo Si was really afraid that out of a hundred apprentices, less than ten would come out alive.

Don’t think this is an exaggeration!

It’s a description that couldn’t be more true!

Even a strict and responsible mentor like Kelben often doesn't have a good solution to various unexpected situations.

Normally, five out of ten apprentices would be considered pretty good if they survived to graduation.

As for the rest, it is basically not that you did not follow the precautions during the experiment and accidentally caused an explosion and ended the game on the spot;

Otherwise, if you don't secretly make some dangerous attempts, such as summoning demons and devils, and forcibly touching the deep magic network, you might even lose your soul when you find out.

“If you don’t mind, I can provide fifty to a hundred descendants to serve as teachers.

Counting your people, each college can be equipped with ten to fifteen instructors first.

It can take about one hundred and fifty apprentices.

After the first batch of apprentices graduates, they can stay in school as assistants and auxiliary tutors to manage and educate the next batch of apprentices.

Oh, by the way, I have compiled some research and spell information about the Netherese era. If you are interested, you can take a look. "

After saying that, Ovo took out several books that exuded strong arcane brilliance from his pocket.

Since his ideal is to restore the glory of Netheril, he is not stingy with knowledge like several other great arcanists, but is very generous.

"Thank you. I just want to learn those ten-ring and eleven-ring spells invented in the Netheril era."

After Zuo Sikai glanced twice, an expression of interest immediately appeared.

Perhaps for other spellcasters, these magics have lost their effect due to changes in the rules. At best, they can only be used as a reference for inventing new legendary spells.

But because the goddess of magic opened the back door at midnight last time, he was really able to release these amazingly powerful spells, and even built a Mythra core with his own hands to build Faerun's version of the floating city.

But Owo didn't know this, and he put on a generous look, smiled and waved his hand: "Hahahaha! You're welcome!

As our cooperation becomes closer, I will give you my collection over the years as a gift little by little.

After all, in this world, you are the only one who has the best chance of recreating or even surpassing the glory of Netheril.

I'm excited to see what the West Coast will look like under your rule.

Also, I heard that you had a spell duel with Larocque in Sere some time ago? "

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "It's not a duel, at best it's just mutual discussion."

"Oh? What's the result?"

Ovo leaned forward slightly, his two swollen eyes bursting with intense curiosity.

He obviously knew that the old man Larok was hiding in the Warlock's Tomb in the mountains north of Baldur's Gate.

However, out of caution, he never contacted the other party, let alone visited him.

The two sides remained separated from each other across the supreme forest and wasteland.

"There is no specific result. Although Larocque said I won, I don't think I won." Zuo Si shrugged and replied.

"That is to say...you are at least on a par with him?"

Owo's tone was filled with shock that could not be concealed.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how the Wizard King in the Netheril era defeated challengers one after another, defending the title of "the strongest".

I also understand that with my own level, I am afraid that I will never be able to defeat the opponent in a one-on-one spell duel in this life.

Because of this, Owo found it hard to believe.

"Let's put it this way. None of us used any magic items, scrolls, or powers other than our own spellcasting levels and abilities. That's why I emphasized that this was just a competition, not a spell duel."

Zuo Si explained with a slightly helpless tone.
