One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 121 "Book of the Dead" (Second update for subscription)

For this, the priest of Irmat, the god of suffering, called it "the powerful evil force that enveloped the land of Calimshan".

For some reason, Zuo Si never felt any killing intent or hostility.

Even if the other party invited him to participate in this so-called "game" with semi-coercive means.

After all, the gap in absolute strength between the two sides is so obvious.

The mastermind behind the scenes was even able to place devils from Baator Hell, mummy lords with no low priest level, and a large number of undead creatures in this huge and complex ancient tomb like toys.

There is no need to say anything about its own strength.

What's more, even seeing Zuo Si use the rogue tactic of "kicking the goal", he did not intervene from the beginning to the end.

Instead, let him use the [Fireball Wand] to bombard and clear one tomb after another.

Scramble all those well-designed puzzles, battles, and easily take all the rewards.

Compare your heart with your heart.

Zuo Si felt that if he was a "dungeon master", he would have to "arrange" to some extent when he saw the "players" making the script that they had so hard to design look like.

For example, in the next room, put a room full of fire elements.

After the closed stone door was opened, they rushed out to fight the "players" justly.

Offended "Dungeon Master" and still want to play the game?

Go dreaming!

"Secret reform" is all light.

It is normal operation to kill one or two "players" as a warning.

The next stage should be the "turning the table" link that the people who eat melons love to see.

But the black hand behind the scenes did not do this.

During the entire exploration process, the only one immune to fire damage was the bone demon.

Moreover, the summoned devil had obviously been arranged for a long time, and it was not added temporarily.

In fact, the reason why Zuo Si chose the goal-kicking tactic was also to test the opponent's bottom line.

But the result is that the other party doesn't have any bottom line at all, and they can do whatever they want.

In short, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand the purpose of the black hand behind the scenes.

However, in line with the principle of not taking what is good, Zuo Si directly waved to the soldier and the half-orc Reiter, and put the other party's gold coins in the sarcophagus into the dimension bag.

On the other hand, he opened the "Book of the Dead" that was placed with the Ion Stone.

moment!

All his attention was deeply attracted by the knowledge, spells, rituals and techniques for making various undead creatures recorded in it.

Although Asta, Zuo Si's former mentor and partner, can be regarded as an archmage with extraordinary accomplishments in the field of necromancy.

But his research notes are still far inferior to the comprehensiveness and systematicness of "Book of the Dead".

Among other things, the ritual of completely transforming liches and vampires alone is enough to attract countless spellcasters who desire to escape death and gain eternal life.

You must know that this kind of knowledge is not available to just anyone, even in Faerun.

Akram Grace, the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood who ruled Luskan, the "city of a thousand sails" in the north, has always wanted to transform himself into an undead lich.

But because he still didn't get all the content of the transformation ceremony, he didn't dare to do it.

After all, the most important thing to transform a lich is to kill oneself, and then store the soul in the "fate box", so as to achieve the purpose of eternal life.

If there is even the slightest mistake in the middle link, it will be a sudden death on the spot, and there will be no chance to do it again.

"[Summon Undead], [Vampire Star], [Ghost Transformation], [Vampire Kiss], [Ghoul Hand], [Resurrect Undead], [Ghost Touch], [Enlighten Undead]... …

Even the [Undead Scourge] of Nine Rings has it.

What exactly does the other party want to do?

Could it be that they want to train me to be a necromancer?

Or is it inducing me to turn myself into an undead form like a lich? "

The more Zuo Si read the content recorded at the back of the book, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because just like the name, "Book of the Dead" is all about things related to necromancy.

For most ordinary arcane spellcasters, especially mages, it is extremely difficult to acquire knowledge.

After getting this book, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on to it. I will directly choose the specialization of the necromancer magic faction, and then go all the way to the dark.

"Those evil forces want to seduce you with the forbidden knowledge in this book!

Irmat, the god of suffering, foresaw this scene, so he gave me such a task and trial.

You should destroy this book immediately, only in this way can the enemy's plot be crushed. "

The paladin Erolin stared at the "Book of the Dead" with a serious expression, her eyes revealing strong vigilance and hostility.

In her opinion, books like this that record a large number of awakening, manufacturing, and summoning undead creatures, as well as various vicious necromancer magic, should not exist in the world at all.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, my attitude towards knowledge, especially necromancy magic knowledge, is completely different from you and the God of Suffering.

Regarding this book, no matter what purpose the other party has, I will not destroy it.

Just the opposite!

I will learn the knowledge and techniques inside and transform them into my own strength.

But transform yourself into undead form...

forget it.

There are many ways to prolong life in this world, among which transforming into undead is the most stupid one.

Although in the eyes of some people, high-level undead creatures like liches and vampires have many advantages, their shortcomings are also very obvious.

Just an eight-ring magic [Yang Yan Blast] can restrain it to death.

What's more, once becoming a necromantic creature means giving up a lot of fun that being a living being would have.

For example, you can taste the unique delicacies from all over the world and even the different planes, enjoy the relaxation and comfort brought by soaking in hot water while taking a bath, and enjoy the beautiful scenery and interesting people you see along the way.

If there are no such things in life, what is the point of living forever? "

Hearing these words, Eloline's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she even couldn't help showing a faint smile.

She suddenly discovered that for a person who knows how to enjoy life and love life.

The temptation to gain a longer lifespan by transforming into an undead form does not seem to be very great.

In addition, Zuo Si still looks so young, at least until the body begins to show obvious signs of aging, such thoughts should not arise.

However, as a paladin, her aversion to necromantic magic and undead creatures has long been engraved in Eroryn's soul.

So subconsciously, she still hopes that Zuo Si can give up studying the contents of "Book of the Dead".

Also, she has a big problem with Zuo Si manipulating and controlling shadow creatures.

It's a pity that there have been three chapters of agreement between the two.

Arline couldn't tell Zuo Si how to behave.

Otherwise, it means that you will be kicked out of the team, and you will not be able to continue to perform the duties and tasks assigned to you by the God of Suffering.

In this way, after another compromise, she decided to temporarily ignore Yelinia, the shadow assassin who appeared briefly in the battle and then disappeared suddenly.

After everyone searched the entire tomb for valuables, they quickly activated the mechanism hidden under the sarcophagus.

A dazzling white light flashed, and they all disappeared from the ancient tomb in an instant, even the huge stone elementals were no exception.

You don't need to ask, you know, it must have been sent away by powerful magic power.
