One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 164 The Eye-Opening "Book of the Dead"

The caravan stayed at Myratma for four full days.

It wasn't until Bernard squeezed out all the wealth in the city, and even made those nobles and chambers of commerce owe him a large debt, that he "reluctantly" moved on to the next destination.

If possible, he even hoped that every city he passed along the way would suffer heavy losses from the siege of the monster army like this.

In this way, he can sell high and buy low, and then take the opportunity to repay the interest earned by usury.

It doesn't matter if the debtor family can't pay back the money in the end.

Bernard can also make some additional demands by deferring or reducing part of the debt.

For example, the pricing power of certain commodities, exclusive management rights, etc., so as to gradually control the trade of the city and its surrounding areas to form a monopoly.

For Amn businessmen whose commerce was extremely developed and even showed a tendency to colonize overseas, these operations were like an instinct engraved in their bones.

As long as there is an opportunity, they will rush desperately to grab benefits and wealth.

Of course, for Zuo Si, the more outstanding Bernard's business talent, the more lucrative the trip will be.

He is not a miser like Wilmes who can only see immediate benefits, let alone prevent businessmen from lending money to local nobles and chambers of commerce.

Quite the opposite!

Shifting from pure trade to finance is a more advanced and efficient way to acquire wealth.

This has been confirmed by many developed capitalist countries on the earth.

Although there are huge hidden dangers in it.

But Zuo Si doesn't care.

Anyway, even if there is a thunderstorm, it will be decades or even hundreds of years later.

By then, he would have already left the stage of primitive accumulation of power, and he might be able to obtain wealth from several different worlds directly through the power of sparks.

The biggest difference between a planeswalker and an ordinary spellcaster is that from the moment the spark is ignited, he can freely travel between different planes, crystal walls and universes.

It doesn't even cost anything.

"Your Excellency South, it's going to be dark soon. If there are no accidents, we will spend the night near the ruins of Tesselburgh tonight."

The mercenary captain ran over from the front of the caravan on horseback, and told the itinerary through the window of the carriage.

Ever since Zuo Si realized that he had the power to slay an evil red dragon without a scratch, he and his mercenaries became more respectful.

Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, the team around Zuo Si has grown stronger.

Especially after leaving Myratma, not only Wilmes, the humanoid dragon, joined the team, but Jaheira and Khaled also joined the team.

In addition, there is also a man wearing a half-length breastplate and carrying a [Bow of Strong Arms], constantly vigilantly patrolling around.

No need to ask, this man is the long-range shooter among the LV3 human soldiers of the biological card.

Zuo Si got a new chance to draw cards because he completed the two tasks of "making five creature cards" and "increasing the total number of cards held".

One of them is the biological card soldier of LV3.

As for the original loyal melee soldier, because he absorbed dragon blood, his race changed from human to dragonborn, and his occupation changed from warrior to knight.

Not only did the card level increase from the original LV3 to LV4.

And after paying the mana, dragon blood, dragon scales and +1 flame long sword required for "transfer", his image became a person wearing red dragon full body armor, holding +2 dragon scale shield and +2 A burly man with a long flaming sword.

His height even jumped to an astonishing 2.3 meters, and his two eyes also showed vertical pupils like beasts.

Although usually wearing a fully enclosed helmet makes it difficult to see the face, but whenever the caravan members are stared at by those eyes, they will immediately feel strong anxiety and fear.

"knew."

Zuo Si, who was reading "Book of the Dead" carefully in the carriage, responded absently.

Ever since he got this book that recorded countless advanced necromancer magic and knowledge, he would calm down and study whenever he had time.

Among them, the series of [Rotting Sac Swelling] spells, as well as [Summon the Undead] from the first to fifth rings, or [Enhance the Incorporeal Body] and [Undead Lieutenant] all gave Zuo Si an eye-opening feeling.

The principle of the series of [rot cyst swelling] series of spells is very simple. It is to instantly implant the horrible cysts that often appear on undead creatures into the bodies of living creatures through magical power.

By manipulating cysts, releasing terrible negative energy and various viruses and bacteria to cause continuous damage to the target.

The biggest feature of this series of spells is that they don't require a high casting level.

Only a few second- and third-level spell slots are needed to successfully create quite terrifying effects.

[Undead Call] from the first to fifth rings can allow low-level mages to summon powerful undead creatures to assist them in battle.

This necromancy exclusive spell can summon skeleton warriors from the first ring;

The second ring is upgraded to bear goblin zombie;

The ogre zombie of the third ring is a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change;

As for Sihuan's pterosaur zombie, Wuhuan's mummy, and vampire spawn, no matter which one is a "big killer".

If you don't encounter high-level priests or paladins, you can easily slaughter a group of heavily armed soldiers with just summoned creatures.

Coupled with the inherent characteristics of undead creatures, and the ability to restore vitality during negative energy spells.

It can be said that [Undead Call] is at least one grade stronger than the [Monster Call] series of spells of the same level.

In contrast, although the three-ring magic [enhance the incorporeal body] is a little inferior, it can also greatly strengthen undead creatures such as ghosts and wraiths.

For the current stage, the biggest use is naturally to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the shadow servant Yelinia.

And the last [Undead Lieutenant] is definitely one of the necessary spells for playing the "Sea of ​​Undead" tactics.

Its function is to select a relatively high-level undead creature and promote it to be the commander of the entire undead army.

At that time, the caster only needs to control this commander to complete the indirect control over hundreds or thousands of undead creatures.

In terms of using the spell [Undead Lieutenant], the red-robed mages of Searle's necromantic faction can be said to be experienced.

They will even gather skeletons and zombies for agricultural production, so that their country not only has inexhaustible food, but also sells it for a large amount of money.

Of course, looking at it from another angle, these tireless army of undead farming might not be a kind of "hiding soldiers among the people".

After all, as long as there is a need, they can be pulled to the battlefield as cannon fodder at any time.

There is no doubt that, whether it is spells, magical rituals, or methods of creating and awakening various advanced undead creatures recorded in the "Book of the Dead", they all exude strong evil tendencies without exception.

The casting materials of some of these spells are definitely enough to subvert the three views of normal people.

If you are obsessed with this for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be long before your mind and thinking will be irreversibly distorted, and you will eventually embark on a road of no return.

fortunately!

With the continuous improvement of the planeswalker level, Zuo Si now has more and more means, and he no longer completely relies on necromancy magic.

When the caravan began to stop and camp in place, he closed the Book of the Dead and stepped out of the carriage to enjoy the beautiful scenery at dusk.

Especially the ruins of Tesselburgh that were covered with weeds and vines in the distance.

Just when Zuo Si was about to get closer, Jaheira suddenly walked over from the dense grass: "I went to investigate the ruins of Fort Tessel just now, and found some unusual traces."

"Oh? A robber or a monster?" Zuo Si asked with great interest.

With Wilmes, the red dragon, and the steel golem at his side, he no longer cared much about ordinary bandits and monster tribes.

Because no matter how many these guys come, they will only be slaughtered mercilessly, and there will be no trouble at all.
