A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

Among the many sons of Telamant, the supreme lord of the City of Shadows, not many actually crossed the threshold and became legendary mages. There were only five in total.

Brenas and Ramolek have the highest spellcasting level, which is LV26.

Next are the twins Mattik and Vatik, both at LV25.

The last remaining one is Desude, with a spellcasting level of LV23.

As for other ghost princes, although their total professional level is quite high and they have all crossed the legendary threshold, due to too many part-time jobs, their single spellcasting level is often not high.

For example, Yada's professional composition is a warrior and a warlock, plus two advanced professions. The combined level of all professions is LV32.

Another example is Corari Bonas, who is not only a warrior and a warlock, but also a LV3 thief.

Therefore, the importance of Brenas to Ghost City is self-evident.

It can even be said that he is one of the few successors chosen and favored by Telamante.

If one day he dies due to an accident, then the successor of Haunted City will only be chosen from the four Haunted Princes: Brenas, Ramolak, Mattik and Vatik.

As for Revalan, the eldest son who was ambitious and wanted to gain more power and was loyal to Shar, he was not included in the investigation at all.

To be precise, from the moment this guy became a voter and a devout believer, he was destined to be excluded from the list of successors.

After all, according to Netherese tradition, the future ruler of Shade City must be the most powerful legendary arcane spellcaster, not a priest who is very susceptible to the influence of the gods.

In this regard, Telamant, as a great arcanist, still has his own insistence.

Therefore, after learning that Brenas had been captured, he immediately sent his men to Ascatla to inquire about the information.

After confirming that his son was kidnapped by Zuo Si, he immediately used diplomatic envoys to get him back through negotiation and payment of ransom.

After all, the current Yinhun City is not ready for a head-on collision with the West Coast Empire, a force with a large population, a huge territory, sufficient financial resources, strong military strength, and many wizards and warlocks.

What's more, as the supreme emperor of the empire, Zuo Si had just completed the feat of killing gods.

In order to show his sincerity, Telamant even asked the envoy to present a secondary artifact created in the Golden Age of Netheril - [Storm Star], and personally performed a series of enhancements to increase its enchantment level from the original + 3 was upgraded to +5.

It is an electric morning star hammer favored by the princes of Shade City, high priests of Shar, and elite military officers.

When someone holds this weapon, it will be instantly enveloped in dazzling arcs from head to toe, but it will not actually harm the holder. Instead, it will give the enemy violent additional lightning damage.

In addition, the holder can also use lightning three times and summon thunder once per day.

Even though the power of this thing is not very good, and even the title of "sub-artifact" is a bit embarrassing, it can be mass-produced if it can't stand up to others.

This is one of the few sub-artifacts that has been clearly recorded in Faerûn that can be manufactured in large quantities, and the number is far beyond most people's imagination.

Yinhun City alone has two dozen...

Yes, you are not mistaken.

It's two dozen instead of two.

However, as an apology, in addition to the most basic functions, the enhanced version of [Storm Star] also permanently adds an eight-ring evocation spell [Lightning Ring].

After this spell is activated, it can give the caster a certain amount of lightning resistance, and at the same time cause continuous damage to all nearby creatures, a bit like an electric shock halo, and will shoot two lightning arrows every few seconds.

It can be seen from this weapon alone that Telamante is definitely spending a lot of money to avoid conflict and redeem his son as soon as possible.

But what he didn't know was that the real Brenas had disappeared long ago.

To be precise, it was made into a summoning creature card by Zuo Si, and then summoned again with the intention of stuffing it back into a spy.

At this moment, he was standing in the laboratory, playing with the [Storm Star] that had just been forcibly shaped into the shape of a long sword with the help of the special ability of the Creator's profession. He asked with interest: "What's going on over there in Yinhun City?" What conditions were imposed?"

Davian replied without thinking: "They claim to be willing to share some research information on the shadow plane, related spells, and experience in using the Shadow Magic Network."

"Haha, it seems that His Highness the Prince of Shadows is worth a lot.

It was surprising that Telamant was willing to give up so many things in exchange.

Especially about the Shadow Plane and the Shadow Weave.

I am afraid that there is no other force in the entire Faerûn continent that has conducted more in-depth research than the City of Shadows. "

There was unabashed ridicule in Zuo Si's tone, and he put down the [Storm Star] sword in his hand.

It has to be said that among the many weapons with extra energy attribute damage, fire, lightning and ice are always the coolest in appearance.

Especially when holding the [Storm Star], the dazzling electric light surrounding the blade and the holder can pretend to be Zeus, the King of Gods.

As for the specific power...

It can only be said that it is far inferior to the lightning breath of the blue head in the dragon form.

For today's Zuo Si, the [Storm Star] sword is a complete plaything. There is no room for use when facing a truly powerful enemy, but it should be quite good for torture.

"Do you need to add some price tag to the negotiation?"

Davian asked in an uncertain tone.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, no need, just leave it like that.

After two days of pretentious bargaining, Brenas and his captured men were released.

I have no plans to start a head-on war with Shadow City for the time being.

So it's better to leave this kind of matter to Ovo.

And do you think that with the attitude shown by Yinhun City at the moment, their expansion direction will be to invade the Northland to the west?

Or invade Cormyr south?

Or go east to fight Fuzor Chambery who conquered the Moon Sea? "

"Hmm - I think Ghost City will first have a conflict with Fuzor Chamberry. Because they are both eager to establish regional hegemony and launch foreign wars to expand the scope of their rule."

Davian touched his chin to make his point.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

When two very aggressive forces come into contact, they will inevitably feel that each other is a huge threat, and fierce confrontation or even war will break out.

In the original history of Faerûn, Fuzor Chamberry once fought a "Battle of Shadow Bane" with the City of Shadows, and at the same time contacted the mortal enemy of Netheril, the Felin Demon Kui, as a ally.

But in the end he was defeated and died due to lack of strength.

The only result was to kill a ghost prince, that's all.

Zhentil Keep was also completely razed to the ground during this time.

Later, the god of tyranny, Bane, resurrected this elector and promoted him to the bishop of the divine domain, which is a certain degree of demigod.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that before the City of Shadows truly begins to expand, it will inevitably destroy Zhentil Castle and the surrounding areas of the Moon Sea controlled by the Benn Church.

Otherwise, just one Zhentarim would be doing things behind his back every now and then, which would be very troublesome to deal with.

After all, there are only so many people who are truly loyal to Yinhun City, and there will only be about a few thousand to ten or twenty thousand people who can survive.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on this small number of manpower to manage hundreds of thousands or even millions of civilians scattered in various towns and villages. The decentralization of functions of small administrative units like villages and towns allows for local autonomy.

And autonomy means that rule does not exist at the grassroots level.

This undoubtedly gives excellent opportunities to many intelligence organizations that are good at infiltration, such as the Zhentarim and the Harper Alliance.

Especially the former, who have no bottom line, can easily create conflicts and riots by inciting hatred or directly using charm control spells.

In addition, the ruling method of Shade City is the same as that of Netheril. They do not regard the people at the bottom as human beings. They obviously prefer slaves to civilians.

Therefore, just suppressing the uprisings and resistances one after another will continue to consume its own strength.

When the time comes, the more land is conquered and the more people live within the control area, the weaker the Haunted City will become.

Even though they have extremely powerful strength and can easily destroy most of the countries in Faerûn, they are like giants with both feet stuck in the quagmire, and they will continue to sink no matter how they struggle.

Therefore, even in order to reduce the pressure of rule, the City of Shadows must eliminate Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim Order and pull out the nail that poses the greatest threat to itself.

Zuo Si undoubtedly knew this very well, so he nodded slightly: "You are right. There will be a battle between Telamante and Fuzor Chamberry.

However, this war will not break out too early in the short term. It will take at least several months or even years.

Both sides will first test each other's strength until one side confirms that it can win.

I imagine Fozol Chambery must be feeling quite sad right now.

After all, he finally conquered the Moon Sea, and before he could complete the integration, a dangerous neighbor suddenly appeared. "

When saying these words, Zuo Si's tone revealed unabashed gloating.

Because if there was no such thing as the return of Ghost City, Fuzor Chambery would definitely take a year or two to integrate all the cities along the Moon Sea into a country.

Then he announced that he was a king or emperor, and then went south to annex the long-coveted rich lands such as Comanso and the Valley.

But now, he had to stop these actions and start to engage in military force, frantically strengthening his military power.

Otherwise, if the City of Shadows realizes that the Tyrant of the Sea of ​​Moon is a soft persimmon, then the Floating City will fly over in minutes and completely level Zhentil Castle.

"Are you planning to support Fuzor Chambery in this war to consume the power of the City of Shadows?" Davian asked in a low voice.

"Of course. But not now, but when they start fighting with real swords and guns."

While talking, Zuo Si carefully took out the new model of shimmering oil that had been tuned for several days on the experimental table from a special jar, raised the wand that had not been used for a long time, and recited the spell he created.

moment!

The shimmering oil in the jar first began to boil, and then was continuously shaped into various shapes under the control of the wand.

When the metal inside was corroded by the glittering oil and gradually formed into a soulless semi-mechanical life form, he suddenly chanted another spell.

In a blink of an eye!

The mechanical life form that had just begun to develop self-awareness quickly collapsed and disintegrated, and was once again decomposed into a mess of parts, soaked in the glistening oil container.

There is no doubt that these two spells were specially created by Zuo Si so that the wizards of the Magic Earth could have an impact on ordinary people's technological creations.

The first spell manipulates, the second destroys and disintegrates.

In this way, no matter how rapidly the social science and technology of ordinary people develops, as long as the bottom layer is still constructed of shimmering oil, wizards will never have to worry about their little magical world being exposed.

As for those new models of shimmering oil, the magic part has been completely removed, leaving only a lot of knowledge about materials, machinery, genes, energy, biomedicine, etc.

Scientists only need to keep trying to extract the information stored in it bit by bit and apply it to all walks of life.

Of course, the inventions and creations they made on this basis will also be recorded and become learning and reference materials for Plantia Floating City and Mirrodin Time and Space New Phyrexia.

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Davian was obviously not interested in these research things, so he quickly bowed and turned to leave.

After his figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, Zuo Si divided the shimmering oil into eleven parts and put them into smaller containers, and then made them into a card to save.

Apparently, he intended to create multiple pools of oil in different places on the planet, rather than just one.

Otherwise, the major powers will inevitably launch wars for their own interests, or even plant mushrooms on each other, leading to the death of a large number of people and the decline of civilization.

This situation is not the result that leftists want to see.

Therefore, the number of Shuoyou pools must be large enough, at least one for each of the most powerful countries.

In this way, we can maintain the progress and prosperity brought about by full competition without worrying about the outbreak of a devastating war.

With this idea in mind, Zuo Si quickly kept the clone in the most secret room in the mage tower, and then transferred his soul and consciousness to the main body of the Doomsday Bunker.

In just a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and slowly walked out of the closed container like a standing cabinet, activating the equipment cards one by one at an extremely fast speed.

In less than ten steps, the originally naked body was fully dressed again, and the whole person stood in the center of the huge circular formation.

When the portal to the upper level was activated, the surrounding walls and ceiling suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The next second...

Zuo Si finally returned to the living room of his house in this world.

Although I haven't been back for a long time, the surrounding furniture, floors and walls are still wiped spotless.

Next to the sofa he used to make, there was a thick stack of wizarding newspapers, bound and arranged neatly according to the date of issue.

"Master, welcome home."

The house elf North appeared immediately, bent down and bowed politely.

"Meow--"

Crookshanks emerged from nowhere and gently nuzzled the owner he had not seen for a long time.

"During my absence, nothing major happened in the magical world, right?"

Zuo Si stretched out his hand to tease the cat and asked casually.

North quickly shook his head and replied: "No. The mysterious man and his followers seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.

Except for some minor disturbances caused by the resurrected wizards, everything was very peaceful.

Oh, by the way, the Ministry of Magic recently resumed the Triwizard Tournament that had been suspended for centuries.

Miss Granger participated in this event as a champion of Hogwarts and won the final victory.

She also demonstrated the enhanced magic she invented in the first event, and was hailed as the second rising star in the magic world after you.

Here is a report from the Daily Prophet for you to read. "

As he spoke, North took out one of the newspapers from the thick pile and offered it with both hands.

Zuo Si took it and flipped through it, and soon discovered the shocking dynamic magic photo on the front page, as well as the large-scale report, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

Because what the photo shows is a scene of a young and beautiful girl beating a fire dragon from this world with her fists and kicks, and beating it until it was seriously injured and vomiting blood.

The sense of power and impact with punches that hit the flesh, and blood on the feet and legs, is just as vivid as the one on the page.

Based on years of combat experience, Zuo Si could basically tell that the unlucky dragon's internal organs must have been severely damaged.

If it is not treated in time, I may not live long.

As for the audience in the stands, they basically kept their mouths wide open with expressions of shock and disbelief. Even the principal, who was emotionless and emotionless, couldn't help but stand up.

If the girl in the photo had her hair dyed black and tied into twin ponytails, and then put on a red jacket and a short skirt and black stockings, she would be another close combat magician, Tohsaka Rin.

You don't need to ask to know that through a period of brutal growth, Hermione has developed a system and characteristics of enhanced magic that suits her.

And it's easy to see from her punches and kicks that she also spent time learning practical fighting skills.

If an ordinary wizard was approached and hit twice without having time to release the armor spell, he would probably be beaten to death directly.

"It seems that Hermione has changed a lot in the past few years since I was gone." Zuo Si put down the newspaper and sighed with a chuckle.

"Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long. I don't think there has been much change. Because Miss Granger comes to stay for a while every holiday. In addition, she also asked me to write to you as soon as I have news about you. she."

While talking, North had already skillfully made tea and poured a cup for his master.

Zuo Si took it, took a sip, put it down on the table next to him, and responded casually: "There is no need to inform you. I will go to Hogwarts to visit her in person later. Before that, I have one more important thing things need to be done.”

"Oh, what is it? Do you need me to help you?"

North asked impatiently with his big eyes.

As a house elf, he has a desire to serve his master and his family.

Especially after being kept free for several years, this desire has not subsided, but has become stronger.

"Haha, I'm sorry, you can't help much with this matter. It's better to stay at home and prepare dinner. Remember to make it more generous. I may bring guests back."

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

Just a second later, he came to a seemingly deserted Gobi Desert.

After roughly confirming his position, he used magic to dig out a small but deep gap in the ground, and then took out a portion of shimmering oil and poured it into it.

After a short time, these shimmering oils seeped deep into the ground and quickly devoured and decomposed everything around them under the control of their true master.

Whether it is yellow sand or red soil without any value, or hard rocks and various minerals buried under the soil, they are disappearing at an extremely fast speed, and are replaced by a huge underground oil lake.

After the expansion reached a certain level, Zuo Si stopped the input and manipulation of energy, and used magic again to create a not very strong earthquake.

Obviously, he was deliberately using this method to lure the government people over so that they could discover the shimmering oil hidden underground.

For most modern countries, detecting geological activities, especially natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, is no longer difficult.

You can even get a warning a few minutes in advance.

It turned out to be as expected.

Not long after the earthquake, a plane flew over the vast Gobi Desert.

Within an hour or so, vehicles carrying people started to come from a distance, kicking up dust.

They obviously couldn't see Zuo Si, who remained invisible, so they immediately took out various instruments to collect data after getting off the car. Some people picked up the broken gravel on the ground and brought it back for more tests.

While everyone was busy doing their duties, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old with wrinkles on his face seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly bent down and inserted the long stick in his hand straight into the crack in the ground.

When he stood up and pulled out the stick, he was shocked to find that the lower half of the stick was completely covered with dark, sticky grease.

Stone...oil? !

The man's face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and then quickly turned into ecstasy, shouting to others around him: "It's oil! We have discovered oil!"

moment!

The whole car was boiling, and they all came over to look at the black viscous liquid on the stick and started arguing.

"What? Oil!"

"How is this possible! We have already conducted geological surveys in this Gobi, and there is no trace of oil at all."

"Maybe it was buried deeper and formed a fault?"

"Normally, oil is accompanied by natural gas? But no natural gas has been detected here? It's really strange."

"Never mind it. Call your superiors first, and then take samples back for testing. If this is really an oil field, then we will have made a great contribution."

In this way, with the cooperation of a group of people, half of them stayed where they were and watched, while the other half drove back.

Since the timeline in this world is still at the end of the twentieth century, battery technology is still relatively backward, and petroleum is still the undisputed king of energy and chemicals.

Whoever controls the most oil will become the world's hegemon.

What's more, for an oil-poor country, if a large oil field with rich reserves can be discovered, its strategic significance can even be directly equated with the national destiny.

So in just about ten minutes, fighter planes flew across the sky again, conducting strict surveillance from high altitudes.

In almost one hour and forty minutes, green trucks carrying organized troops arrived and quickly surrounded and blocked the surrounding areas.

The leading officer directly asked the geological experts staying here: "Are you sure there is really an oil field here?"

"Um - we can't be sure yet. We just found a petroleum-like substance. The real results won't be known until the test results come out." A young man with thick eyes answered cautiously.

"How long will it take?"

The officer continued to ask emotionally.

“It should be soon.

After all, it doesn’t take long to detect chemical composition.

But I have to warn you, the situation here is very weird, not even a slight natural gas leak can be detected, so it is best not to get your hopes too high.

Maybe it's just some unknown substance that looks like petroleum. "

The young man calmly took the vaccine.

Seeing such a big battle, he actually felt a little panicked, fearing that he would end up getting scolded by his superiors if he made a mistake.

Just as the two of them were talking, the Institute of Geology, hundreds of kilometers away, was completely blown up.

Because several gray-haired old professors were watching dumbly as the shimmering oil in the container decomposed the poured reagents and other minerals at an extremely fast speed, and its own volume also increased a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye. .

"This...this is simply unbelievable! What happened?"

An old man rubbed his eyes vigorously and exclaimed.

Another old man next to him smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. Today is really an eye-opener! This is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing in so many years of research. By the way, quickly take out some and test these Whether the oil can still burn.”

Under his command, several younger assistants quickly took a few drops from the container and placed them in another container, and then lit it with an open flame.

moment!

boom!

A hot fireball rose into the sky and almost burned the operator who was not hasty in dodging.

The violent release of energy completely subverted everyone present's understanding of the substance "petroleum".

In a panic, a young female assistant accidentally touched the optical microscope next to her, and the latter fell into the container of sparkling oil with a bang.

Just when she reacted and reached out to fish it out, she suddenly discovered that the entire microscope was quickly eroded by the glittering oil.

However, this time it is not a simple devouring like before, but a reshaping and transformation that cannot be explained by science.

By the time everyone reacted, the optical microscope, which was not worth a few dollars, had completely transformed into another image full of science fiction.

"Oh-my God! Professor...Professor, we seem to have discovered something amazing."

The female assistant only felt that her mouth was dry and her whole body was soaked with sweat.

Of course, this situation didn't just happen to her, everyone else in the research room was in a similar state.

Because Shuoyou is simply like a god-like creation for a world that still uses oil as its main energy source.

It can not only be used as fuel, but also has the property of swallowing and absorbing other substances to increase its own volume.

In other words, whether it is domestic waste, or sand, seawater, and gravel in the desert, all can be converted into energy that can be used efficiently.

In addition, the transformation ability that cannot be explained by science makes people suspect that this thing is the creation of some kind of advanced alien civilization.

Some people think that there really is a super prehistoric civilization on the earth, and Shuoyou is what they left behind.

The institute and its staff were quickly put into quarantine after so many phenomena were discovered that were beyond the scope of understanding.

Even if you make a phone call to ensure your safety, there will always be someone watching over you.

But the interesting thing is that no one complained about it. On the contrary, everyone was more excited and excited than the other.

They knew that they were involved in a major event that would go down in history, and maybe it would appear frequently on TV, newspapers, and even textbooks in the future.

As for Shuoyou, it has been classified as the highest level of confidentiality. Hundreds of kilometers in radius have been listed as a no-access area, for fear that the information will be leaked and other countries will learn about it.

At the same time, the most powerful experts in various fields also received emergency transfer orders, and they all put down their original work and gathered in the desolate Gobi Desert.

It can be predicted that some shocking things will be hatched here before long.

At the same time, Zuo Si also created nine smaller Shuoyou Lakes in other parts of the world.

But for the latter part of the story, he was not so kind as to use the earthquake to notify the local government. He just made a not too conspicuous sign.

As for whether the other party can be found, and whether he can keep it after finding it, that is none of his business.

Anyway, this new type of shimmering oil is definitely a generous return gift for all humans on earth, enough to be worth more than ten times or even dozens of times what Zuo Si got from this world.

As long as the ruling class still has some conscience, the living standards of the people at the bottom will increase exponentially, entering a new round of population explosion.

Especially in the field of genes and medical drugs, almost all diseases can be cured.

After all, the founder of Phyrexia, Yawgmoth, started out as a doctor, and later created many new races through genetic technology.

All this knowledge and technology are stored in Shuoyou, waiting for discovery by those who are destined to do so.

“The history of the world turned from this moment on.

Maybe when I come back next time, this place will definitely look different.

I just don’t know whether it will be a cyberpunk society where capital is rampant, or a slightly better orderly society.

But it doesn’t matter, I don’t plan to interfere too much anyway, I just let them choose and develop freely.

I can accept either outcome. "

Zuo Si ate the ice cream in his hand while walking along the lively and bustling streets.

After achieving the most important goal of the trip, he stopped by a cathedral with a lot of traffic and a bit of history to recharge the impact scepter that had exhausted the power of faith.

Perhaps because he had stayed in Faerun for too long, he missed this familiar living environment very much, and even smelling the exhaust from the car felt particularly sweet.

This is not an exaggeration.

It's because the gasoline of this era generally contains lead, and the taste of lead is sweet.

Coupled with the dragon's sense of smell, which is more sensitive than that of a dog, you can naturally smell the sweet fragrance in the air.

If a normal person always smells a sweet smell in the air, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether it is lead poisoning.

But the nostalgia didn't last long.

After finishing the ice cream in his hand, Zuo Si returned to his usual rational and calm state and teleported directly to the woods near Hogwarts Castle.

Ignoring several couples who were making out around him, he walked straight through the country road and the castle lawn, heading towards the principal's office under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

Although he has disappeared for several years, many senior students still recognized this legendary figure who once caused a storm in Britain and even the entire magical world. They stopped and saluted with shocked faces.

Some students from Slytherin House took the initiative to bow and express their respect.

You don't need to ask to know that although Zuo Si has not shown up in recent years, he is a legend in the entire magic world.

Whether it is the magic stone that can bring people back to life, or the technology that can store spells in scrolls or other items, they have had a profound impact on the magical world.

Not to mention, he publicly humiliated the Dark Lord, who was known as the most powerful one and didn't even dare to mention his name, causing him to completely lose the deterrence he had established through killing and creating terror.

However, Zuo Si did not stay too long on the lawn and corridor. Instead, he learned the correct password through prophecy magic and walked directly into the principal's office through the magic guard. At a glance, he saw a cockroach in his hand and put it in his mouth. Dumbledore.

Obviously, this old man with a white beard is stealing his favorite cockroach candy again.

I have to say, it’s a miracle that I don’t have diabetes at this age when I still have such a sweet tooth.

Of course, it is also possible to have it but be cured later by a magic potion.

"Dear principal, long time no see.

You look good.

do you know?

I've always wondered how you would react if you put two real cockroaches in a pile of cockroaches.

Are you just pretending that nothing happened?

Or retching and retching after spitting it out? "

Zuo Si was the first to say hello in a half-joking tone.

The reason why he used "half" as a joke is because he really had such an idea but did not take any actual action.

"Hahahaha! I think the former is more likely. If you accidentally eat a live cockroach, it would be a good experience and adventure, right?"

Dumbledore threw the cockroach in his mouth and laughed happily.

Zuo Sishen nodded in agreement: "I also think that if this happens, you will most likely pretend that nothing happened. Or I can try it next time."

Upon hearing these words, Dumbledore quickly waved his hand: "Please spare me.

If I do eat live cockroaches, I may never eat a pile of cockroaches again in my life.

For a dying old man, this is a bit too cruel.

By the way, where have you been all these years? Why is there no news at all? "

"I went to a very distant place, far beyond the knowledge of everyone in this world. The main reason I came back this time was to solve a problem that has plagued the magical world for thousands of years, that is, how do wizards survive in an increasingly technologically advanced world? Completely hide yourself from others.”

With that said, Zuo Si took out the last portion of Shuoyou and placed it on the old man's desk.

"This is……"

Dumbledore stared at the viscous dark liquid in the transparent container, a look of extreme surprise on his wrinkled face.

"You should have heard of oil as an energy source in the ordinary world, right?" Zuo Si asked very simply.

"Yes, I have heard of it. In order to compete for these black liquids, they even fought."

Dumbledore had obviously been paying attention to the development of science and technology in the ordinary world, and quickly responded in the affirmative.

“Now that you know about oil, it’s a lot easier to explain.

The thing in front of me is called shimmering oil, which can be used as fuel like oil, can also strengthen itself by decomposing and absorbing other substances, and can also be controlled by magic spells.

In other words, it's super-enhanced oil combined with magic.

With this thing, the world of ordinary people is equivalent to having access to nearly unlimited energy, and they can easily overcome technical problems caused by substandard materials.

The wizard can directly influence and change all technological products developed on the basis of shimmering oil through magic spells.

This way, wizards can continue to hide themselves and feel safe.

The world of ordinary people can continue to make great strides forward, and even go beyond the earth to start an era of space colonization. "

Zuo Si listed all the advantages of Shuoyou in one breath.

As for potential pitfalls and flaws…

He simply omitted them all.

"Shuoyou?"

Dumbledore carefully opened the lid of the container, raised his wand and cast several spells in succession, trying to figure out the ingredients.

But unfortunately, apart from the fact that it can burn, no useful information was obtained.

In the next ten minutes, he made many attempts one after another, including putting magic potions into the oil, throwing some things in for the oil to swallow and decompose, or transforming them.

Finally, when all the things on the desk in the principal's office were thrown away, the old man stopped without finishing his work, stroking his thick white beard and sighed: "What an interesting and incredible creation. Did you create it through alchemy? Just Like the magic stone that can bring people back to life?"

Zuo Si calmly shook his head: "No, it's not entirely alchemy, there are many other things in it.

I hope to use your authority in the International Confederation of Wizards to tell everyone in the wizarding world this news.

Also promotes spells to control Shimmering Oil and destroy Shimmering Oil creations.

In this way, wizards can interfere with and control the technological products in the world of ordinary people.

They no longer need to worry about being exposed.

Because with just one spell, all the oil-shining devices will automatically block the wizard.

In fact, before I came to you, I had already created ten lakes of oil in every corner of the world. "

"Guide and control technology in a magical way? After a few years of silence, are you going to make waves when you show up?"

Dumbledore is obviously aware of the drastic changes that Shimmer Oil is about to bring to the world.

He couldn't even confirm whether the change was good or bad.

But what is certain is that officials and politicians throughout the wizarding world will definitely fall into ecstasy...
