One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 182 What kind of consciousness and enthusiasm is this? (Wan Zi Da Zhang asks for subscription)

Building a large mage tower from scratch was undoubtedly a new experience for Zuo Si.

Similarly, it is also a test of his knowledge reserve and planning ability.

Because building a mage tower is not as simple as making a magic item, nor is it simply a pile of materials and technologies.

Instead, it is necessary to turn rooms with different functions and massive magic protection into a complete and indivisible whole.

In addition, two different ideas were integrated in the design, and its difficulty has far exceeded the limit that most arcane spellcasters can imagine.

In particular, the "energy-absorbing circle" hidden in the interlayer between the outer wall and the inner wall covers almost every corner from the underground part to the above-ground part.

The price of doing this was that after building three underground floors and two aboveground floors, the cost reached an astonishing 400,000 gold coins.

Among them were common building materials worth almost 50,000 gold coins.

For example, the "basalt" stones used in large quantities on the outer layer of the main body of the tower.

Another example is the steel bars and iron plates used as the supporting structure, and the adhesive made of unknown messy things.

After all, even if you use the ability of the creator, you have to build a rough shape first.

The second is the spell-casting materials consumed to bless the tower with a large number of protective spells, about 180,000 gold coins.

This part is mainly to resist the astonishingly powerful high-level evocation spells, as well as the four-ring [Stone Shaping], five-ring [fossil into mud] and other transformation magics.

As for the rest, except for a little salary and food expenses paid to masons and workers, all are spent on the "energy-absorbing circle".

As far as this is concerned, the scrolls, gems, and various rare materials stored before Zuo Si consumed during the construction process, as well as the time and energy invested by himself.

The most important thing is that the part that has been built now is empty and there is nothing inside.

Afterwards, the interior decoration, furniture, display, experimental equipment, binding circle, summoning circle, arcane garden, detection circle, magic traps used to resist intruders...

The total cost of these things is not much worse than the construction of the mage tower itself.

It might even be more expensive.

No wonder most mages can't afford to build a mage tower, so they can only make do with transforming their houses into magic laboratories.

Those who have the ability to build their own mage towers are basically either high-level spellcasters or archmages, or the families behind them are rich and powerful.

With such a terrifying speed of spending money, even Bernard couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

For the first time, the young businessman realized that his family and the Chamber of Commerce he ran were nothing compared to the wealth owned by these powerful mages.

In order not to delay the progress of the project, he even had to take out a large sum of money to pay the part of the profit belonging to Zuo Si in advance.

Looking at this majestic building rising from the ground, which is incompatible with the low and dilapidated houses around, Bernard couldn't help sighing slightly: "I can't believe that such a big tower is almost finished in just over a month. .”

"Completed? No, no, no. Perhaps for ordinary buildings, building the outermost part is barely 80% done. But for the Mage Tower, this is just the beginning. The next internal functional rooms, Storage warehouses and energy storage devices are the key." The dwarf foreman immediately corrected with a smile.

As a senior member of the Stonemasons Association, he has undertaken a lot of work to build mage towers.

So I know very well how troublesome and cumbersome the later work is.

Especially for a large mage tower like this, which occupies a large area, it is estimated that it will not take a year or two, so don't expect to be able to use all the space inside.

Of course, Zuo Si didn't even think about getting it right in one go.

His plan is to set up the frame of a mage tower first, at least there is a place where various dangerous experiments can be carried out, and the rest can be done slowly.

"It sounds terrible. As far as I know, the construction cost of this tower is already close to half a million gold coins?" Bernard asked in an uncertain tone.

The dwarf foreman replied with a sneer: "Half a million? This is just to buy materials, pay salaries and food expenses. I bet that the magic, technology, and piles of magic and technology used by Mr. Sous to speed up construction Gemstones, scrolls, rare metals, etc., are not far from hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins."

"Goddess of Wealth Woking! This is exaggerated! Is this the price of building a large mage tower? It is unbelievable!"

Bernard was completely shocked by the exaggerated consumption, and stared dumbfounded at the figure not far away who was interacting intimately with his sister Isadora.

You must know that he originally thought that the profit he helped make was the reason for Zuo Si to build this tower.

But who knows, that huge sum of money is less than half of the construction cost of the mage tower.

"Hahahaha! There is no way around this. But you have to understand that such a mage tower can be used for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the entire family and future generations can benefit from it. Look at the Masked Mage Guild was established How long has it been, but their wealth accumulation speed is far faster than that of Shadow Thief."

After saying this, the dwarf foreman picked up the salary he deserved, took the other stonemasons who were hired, and walked towards the headquarters of the stonemasons guild.

As for those tenant farmers who took advantage of the slack season to earn some extra money, they also picked up their bags, used the money they earned to buy some daily necessities near the nearest market, and then returned to the manor in groups.

After sending all these people away, Bernard came to Zuo Si to report: "Your Excellency South, the main body of the mage tower has been completed. I should not be able to help you with the rest."

Zuo Si nodded contentedly: "It's okay, I'll take care of the rest by myself.

Some of the alchemy and magic equipment, I have already placed an order with the Masked Mage Guild, and I believe they should be able to deliver them within a few days at most.

In addition, I also need some furniture and daily necessities such as beds, cabinets, bookshelves, tables, chairs, sofas, mirrors, bedding, and pillows. "

"Do you have any special requirements for materials and workmanship? If not, I can directly order a batch from Babette Nasiwa at a relatively low price. His family has this industry."

Bernard quickly came up with a solution.

Because these furniture and daily necessities are to be moved into the mage's tower for use, so he dare not go to the market to buy them casually.

Otherwise, God knows if those things of unknown origin are unclean things like curses.

"Okay. I'm not too particular about furniture and daily necessities. This is a list, please help me purchase together."

With that said, Zuo Si handed over the parchment prepared in advance.

Bernard took it and quickly glanced at it, and immediately responded: "Please give me two weeks, and all these things will be transported into the Mage Tower after two weeks. If you want to move in immediately, please move from my house first." Some furniture make do for a few days."

"No problem, please."

Zuo Si didn't mean to be polite to the other party at all, and accepted the help offered by the businessman openly.

Because with the close cooperative relationship between the two of them now, there is no need to be polite at all.

If anyone dared to rob the ships or caravans of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce without opening their eyes, he would immediately counterattack and drive them all to death with lightning speed.

Bernard is undoubtedly very aware of this, so he said willingly: "It is my honor to serve you. I will go back and inform the butler now, and ask him to arrange for servants to bring some furniture and daily necessities over. Oh, I almost forgot, this is The deed to the Crane Inn, it is yours now."

"Finally got it? How much did you spend?"

A surprised expression appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Because Grokaner, the owner of this hotel, would suddenly raise the price too high every time he was about to close the deal, trying to make more money from the deal.

Unfortunately, this time he obviously met his opponent.

As a leader among Askatera's younger generation of businessmen, Bernard is an out-and-out master in bargaining.

And in order to avenge Grokanner's reneging, he also hired shadow thieves to steal in the Crooked Crane Hotel, so that all the guests who went to the hotel to drink had no sense of security.

After a few weeks, this originally bustling hotel in Chengmen District became completely deserted.

It is estimated that Grokanner couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to make the decision of "tearful sale".

Otherwise, his hotel would become less and less valuable over time.

"Five hundred gold coins. I only paid one tenth of the original price to take down the Crooked Crane Hotel. If you count the cost of hiring shadow thieves before, it is only about 1,200."

The corners of Bernard's mouth rose slightly to reveal a smug smile.

Because in this transaction, he not only got what he wanted at an extremely low price.

At the same time, he taught Grokanner, the boss who was sitting on the ground and raising prices, a harsh lesson.

"Five hundred gold coins? I think that greedy guy is about to cry?"

Zuo Si also let out a gloating laugh.

After all, the price he offered for the first time was quite fair, almost a 50% premium.

But even so, the other party was still not satisfied, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to get more.

It can only be said that he deserved this fate now, and it is not worthy of sympathy at all.

Bernard nodded lightly: "That's right! After handing over the title deed, Grokaner cried very sadly. If there is no accident, he should have no face to stay in Askatra in the future."

"It's really satisfying. After I go to get rid of the lich hiding in the crooked crane hotel tonight, I can start to demolish and rebuild the hotel tomorrow. I believe that our chef, Mr. Welby, is probably already impatient. I want to make a name for myself in Askatla.”

While saying these words, Zuo Si raised his hand and gently stroked Isadora's hair, comforting this girl who was full of attachment to herself.

Although in his company recently, this psion, whose premature awakening ability caused serious mental problems, has become a little more cheerful, and can even establish a good relationship with werewolves of the same age.

But in his heart, he still only regards him as his own kind.

Zuo Si suspects that if they continue to develop like this, their relationship will become very troublesome when they enter puberty in a few years.

But Bernard didn't realize this, and immediately said with a smile: "I can't wait to see how the delicacies from Karatu, the eastern continent, will make those picky nobles full of praise."

He never doubted Welby's handiwork.

Because these days, the halfling chef has been cooking various dishes in different ways every day, and he has already completely conquered everyone's appetite.

In terms of quantity, variety, taste, and color, it can beat the best store in Askatera.

If a little bit of the Eastern Continent Karatu's features are added to the decoration and service, then wealthy nobles and businessmen will definitely flock to it.

After all, the rich in Amn love nothing more than to show off.

And one such store is just able to meet their needs.

At that time, if the price of the dishes is set a little higher, the service will be more considerate, and a little magic effect and membership system will be added to enhance the style, and it will definitely make a lot of money.

And Bernard is not worried at all, who will steal the recipe with jealousy, or try to copy it.

Know that Zuo Si is the chosen one of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease!

This status alone is enough to scare most bad guys into cardiac arrest.

What's more, Bernard also plans to use this store to expand his social circle, get to know more dignitaries, and strive to bring the family and the chamber of commerce into a new stage within a few years.

After a few simple chats like this, the businessman quickly left to deal with these trivial and troublesome things.

After he walked away completely, Isadora asked, "Sous, my big brother is using you, do you know that?"

"Hehe, of course. To be precise, we are using each other. He needs my strength, and I also need his talent and talent in business." Zuo Si responded with a smile.

"Mutual use?"

Isadora frowned subconsciously, obviously not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Because she saw the darkness hidden in the heart of adults too early, the way she thinks about problems is very different from normal people.

"That's right! In this world, the relationship between people is often very complicated, with a lot of interest factors mixed in, and so-called pure love, family affection and friendship rarely appear." Zuo Si explained meaningfully.

Just when Isadora was about to say something, seven mages who all looked quite old walked over from not far away.

The leader is Vanessa, who has transformed into a lich, and his friend Jeffrey.

Obviously, because the release of arcane magic is forbidden in the city of Askatra, they did not directly choose to teleport.

Otherwise, you will be severely warned the first time, and you will face the siege of the masked mage the second time.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you..."

"Your Excellency South, these people are friends of Jeffrey and me. They are all experiencing the same troubles as us now, that is, their lifespan is coming to an end, and they have not found other ways to prolong their lifespan."

Vanessa took the initiative to step forward and gave a brief explanation.

"So you all want to transform into a lich?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Because he never dreamed that he managed to successfully develop a Lich subordinate, but the other party turned around and pulled five "offlines" in one go.

What kind of consciousness and enthusiasm is this?

It's just too outrageous!

Zuo Si didn't know at all how many high-ranking mages in Faerun had no choice but to grow old with strong unwillingness and regret because they lacked the knowledge of transforming liches or vampires, and hadn't learned the nine-ring magic [wishing technique]. end his life.

Moreover, the chance of success in transforming into a Lich is quite low, initially estimated to be no more than 5%.

In other words, on average, only one out of every twenty mages who try to transform themselves into a lich can succeed.

The remaining ones are often because the transformation ritual obtained is not complete enough, or they were directly poisoned to death by poison, or because the craftsmanship of making the phylactery was not up to standard and failed to retain the soul.

"We don't want to die, and we don't want everything that we have gained so hard to dissipate with death. Please don't worry, we know the price we need to pay, and we are also willing to accept such conditions."

An old man with skin like dry bark gave a serious assurance.

Jeffrey also chimed in and said, "Your Excellency Sous, the mages behind me have a spellcasting level of LV13 at least, and they can definitely be your good helpers.

And I talked to Vanessa, and I think the seven immortal liches and high-level mages are already quite a force.

We can create an organization of our own. And you are the worthy leader of the organization. "

"Build an organization?" Zuo Si froze slightly.

Good guy!

He just became the chosen one of the Goddess of Poison and Disease, and then he will be the leader of a spellcaster organization composed of liches?

Could it be that he was so liked by people from the evil camp?

Or did you awaken the talent and potential to become the big boss behind the scenes after time travel?

You must know that the reason why Zuo Si chose to help these dying old mages transform into liches was mainly to find helpers against dangerous enemies like the Zhentarim, the Dragon Cult, the Harper Alliance, and the Entangling Symbol.

I never thought about what kind of organization I wanted to build.

But Vanessa didn't think so, nodded seriously and explained: "Yes, establish an organization.

You see, Geoffrey and I currently control most of the magic power in the two most important port cities on the west coast of the Kingdom of Tethyr.

And they occupy places in the magic circles of important inland cities such as Velen, Dalaumar, and Saladas respectively.

As long as we unite, we can draw huge benefits and various scarce resources from it.

And you can also connect each other's mage towers together to support each other.

If one day you are willing, you can even intervene in the civil war in Tethyr Kingdom..."

The ambitious new lich sketched out a grand plan for Zuo Si.

Due to the relatively weak magic power in the Kingdom of Tethyr, the number of mages and warlocks is quite small, and there is not even a decent academy.

Therefore, the seven liches and high-level spellcasters are already the most powerful force on the surface.

After hearing these words, Zuo Si immediately smiled and shook his head: "It's too early to talk about this, let's help them transform into liches first. I will give you three days to prepare, and after three days you will bring the necessary materials for the ceremony." Come to my mage tower to gather."

"You don't agree with the plan I made?"

Vanessa seemed to have noticed something, and immediately asked cautiously.

"No. Your plan is very well formulated, and the chance of success is very high. But the problem is, I don't have the time and energy to manage these things, and I don't want to be approached by paladins and the church of good gods one day. After all, I I have had enough troubles, and I don't want to add new ones."

Zuo Si expressed his attitude directly.

What he needs is a group of people who can help him solve troubles at critical moments, not people who cause a lot of mess and need to help him wipe his ass.

If according to Vanessa's plan to monopolize the magical power in the Tethyr Kingdom area, or even intervene in the civil war, all kinds of troubles and enemies will definitely be indispensable.

After realizing that she had made a huge mistake, Vanessa immediately adjusted her mentality and asked in a very sincere tone: "Then according to your intention, what kind of goals should our organization set?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Si immediately replied: "It's very simple. The goal of our organization is to collect as much knowledge, spells, gems, magic items, spell-casting materials, and rare magic metals as possible. Gold, mithril, cold iron, etc. Besides these and earning wealth, we do not engage in any political activities, nor do we deal with all the gods and churches."

"Well—this goal sounds pretty good. At least it won't easily conflict with those powerful forces, and won't get involved in trouble." Jeffrey rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"I agree too. This is what a spellcasting organization should pursue."

"Yeah! Vanessa's way is too aggressive, and it will definitely be exposed after a long time."

"But doing these things should cost a lot of money, right? In the end, we still have to find a way to make more money."

"Why don't we join forces to form several chambers of commerce?"

"The Chamber of Commerce? How can the Chamber of Commerce get money quickly by robbing. We find a few dragons to kill, and then loot the treasures in their lairs. With the cooperation of the few of us, even if we encounter old dragons and ancient dragons, we have a good chance of successfully hunting them." .”

"Good idea! It doesn't matter if it fails, anyway, the big deal is to lose the equipment on our bodies and die once. In a few days, we can be reborn next to the phylactery in the form of a lich."

...

What would it be like if a group of non-good and evil mages gathered together?

Just look at the scene in front of you.

In just a few words, they began to discuss how to kill a few giant dragons that had already found out the location of their lair, and then looted all the treasures accumulated by the other party for hundreds of years.

Its ferocity is no worse than the greedy red dragon Wilmes.

Although strictly speaking, sometimes Zuo Si's behavior is not much different from that of the other party.

But the corners of his mouth kept twitching as he listened.

Especially after becoming a lich, there is no need to worry about death at all, so even the most cautious mage on weekdays has become extremely aggressive and daring now.

In the end, Zuo Si couldn't stand it anymore, interrupting their imagination of a "beautiful future".

"Everyone, what you need to consider now is to prepare materials to make a phylactery. Only by successfully transforming yourself into a lich can the above plans be implemented. If anyone accidentally dies during the transformation, or becomes a lich If you become idiots, then only God can save you."

moment!

The lively discussion suddenly became quiet.

Except for Vanessa, who is already a lich, the remaining six people all showed very solemn expressions.

After exchanging glances with each other, they walked into the mage's tower one after another, cast teleportation magic and returned to their residences, and began to prepare everything necessary to transform the lich.

After everyone was gone, Zuo Si said to Vanessa: "Get ready, we are going to kick the door of another Lich's house tonight. If I fail to kill the other party in the first place, then maybe You need to fight against it with spells."

"Another lich?" Vanessa's eyes shone slightly.

"Yes. He's a guy hiding in the basement of a hotel in the City Gate District. We'll act after dark to make sure we get rid of him once and for all."

After saying this, Zuo Si asked Vanessa to prepare the spell, and he took Isadora to the empty room with only one chair on the upper floor, temporarily placed the girl here, and then opened "Inheritance" to view mission Board.

[Create a treasure card (reward a chance to draw a card, completed)]

[Upgrade any profession obtained through mimicry to LV11 (reward two card draw opportunities, completed)]

[Build a magic tower of your own (reward two chances to draw cards, completed)]

[The total number of cards held reaches 100 (a chance to draw a card is rewarded, the current number of cards held: 95)]

[Make an enchantment card by yourself (reward two chances to draw cards)]

[Make five LV7 cards (reward three chances to draw cards, one has been made so far, and four more need to be made)]

[Transform the divine power in the body into another energy that can be completely controlled by sparks (reward a rare unique card)]

With the planeswalker's level reaching LV7, the number of tasks for Zuo Si to get the chance to draw cards has also increased to seven.

Especially the last task seems to imply something.

However, with the current power of sparks, the conversion efficiency of divine power is very low.

Therefore, he didn't have a good solution, he could only grind it little by little.

Since the first three missions have been completed, Zuo Si now has five more chances to draw cards.

Without any hesitation!

He directly and neatly chose to draw.

In the blink of an eye, five new cards appeared in front of him.

The first one is [Magic Card: Make It Echo], an LV5 red card, which can record the last successfully cast spell of any target other than oneself, and then use it within one minute.

With a planeswalker level of LV7, spells below the ninth ring should almost be able to replicate successfully.

To use it costs ten red mana, or ten universal mana.

The second card is [Magic Card: Counterspell], an LV4 blue card that can forcibly interrupt the opponent's spell that is being released.

To use it costs seven blue mana, or seven universal mana.

The third card is [Creature Card: Oran Rido-headed Dragon], an LV7 green card that can summon an extraordinary dragon-like creature with five heads that can grow infinitely in size to fight for the planeswalker.

After the creature is summoned, it initially has forty points of strength, and each effective land card on its body can increase its size by one unit (strength and constitution +3). If the land card can produce green mana, Then the Hydra size adds an additional unit.

The original Olan Rido-headed dragon had thirty points of spell resistance, and an additional five points for each additional unit size.

At the same time, the scale's protection against physical damage, its own vitality and attack power will also increase accordingly.

And after increasing the size of three units, it has the ability to quickly regenerate and increase acid damage when attacking with a head;

After that, for each additional body size unit, the remaining four heads will gain lightning, flame, freezing and poison damage abilities in turn.

When the body size increases to ten units, the Oranli multi-headed dragon is not only completely immune to the above forms of energy attacks, but also evolves the accompanying attribute attacks into a super-wide-range breath.

To use it costs twenty-five green mana, or twenty-five universal mana.

The fourth card is [Magic Card: God of War Possession], an LV6 red card, which allows the planeswalker to gain powerful strength, agility, and physique bonuses in a short period of time, and at the same time gain powerful magic resistance like a high-level warrior. Sex, combat experience and skills in using various weapons. The higher the level of the planeswalker, the more terrifying the melee combat ability obtained, and the duration of each casting level is one minute.

When using it, you need to pay fifteen points of red magic power, or fifteen points of general magic power.

The fifth card is rather strange, it is a type of card that has never been seen before, called [Directional Teleportation - Zendikar].

When this card is used, it needs to pay two hundred general or blue mana in one go.

Moreover, the card itself will not enter the cemetery, but will disappear completely after being used up once.

"Zendikar? The Eldrazi titan?"

Recalling these two familiar names, Zuo Si's face suddenly became extremely serious and dignified.

As long as his brain is not broken, he will not use this card lightly.

the reason is simple!

Zendikar is a metamagic world with so much magical power that it almost overflows. Its amazing energies rush and surge in the air, creating unimaginable spectacular scenery.

But at the same time, it is also an extremely dangerous world, so dangerous that even gods have a high chance of being killed.

The place was invaded by three powerful Eldrazi titans, and even the whole world was once on the brink of destruction.

The so-called Eldrazi are actually a powerful existence similar to Cthulhu, which is almost impossible to be defeated or even killed by mortals.

With the power that Zuo Si currently possesses, even if he encounters a stronger Eldrazi descendant and creation, he will be crushed in minutes.

Compared with Zendikar's nightmare-level survival difficulty, Faerun, who is full of dangers and dies every few days, can be regarded as "peace and tranquility".

Undoubtedly, [Location Teleportation: Zendikar] and [Creature Card: Oran Rido-headed Dragon] are enough to show that the previous owner of "Legacy" must have been to Zendikar.

It's just that when he went, Zendikar was before the Eldrazi invasion or after being sealed, or if he just caught up with the invasion and participated in the earth-shattering battle.

However, Zuo Si, who has no plans to go to Zendikar for the time being, did not delve into it, but turned his attention to the three magic cards.

Among them, with the two cards of [Make It Echo] and [Spell Counter], the winning rate of dealing with the Lich hidden in the underground secret door of the hotel at night will undoubtedly increase a lot.

As for the [God of War Possession] card, its function seems to be somewhat similar to [Tan Sen's Transfiguration], which endows mages with powerful physique, combat experience, and weapon-use skills in a short period of time.

But the advantage is that it will not be the same as the latter. After activation, it will temporarily lose the ability to cast spells and become a pure warrior.

It also lasts up to one minute per planeswalker level.

If it is paired with a powerful magic weapon, it will definitely give the opponent a huge surprise at the critical moment.

In addition, the first three tasks on the taskbar have also been changed to:

[Make five treasure cards (reward two chances to draw cards)]

[Upgrade any occupation obtained through mimicry to LV15 (reward two chances to draw cards)]

[Collect at least five advanced professions and corresponding knowledge related to mages in the current world (reward two chances to draw cards)]

"Advanced occupation... It seems that it's time for me to prepare to leave for Candlekeep. But before that, I have to find a way to get some money. Otherwise, I can't afford to hire those expensive scribes in Candlekeep. "

Zuo Si whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

Because the construction of the mage tower under his feet has almost used up all his savings.

But fortunately, he could rob a Lich after dark, and the property of the other party should not be too shabby.

With her own mage tower, Zuo Si naturally no longer chose to live in Bernard's house, but moved everything here.

In particular, the mutated hound, which was comparable in size to a mastodon, was immediately transported to the bottom floor of the Mage Tower, because Wilmes was in charge of controlling and guarding it himself.

It can be seen from the high protruding belly that it should be born soon.

For the half-dragon bred by this big guy, Zuo Si has quite high expectations.

As for the others, after the housekeeper delivered some furniture and daily necessities, they all got a small room of their own.

Looking at the large and empty area around her, Alena asked in an uncertain tone: "Is this our future home?"

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right. This tower will be officially put into use when the masked mage delivers what I ordered. And the underground part is connected to the sewers extending in all directions in this city. I I plan to raise some goblins and other small monsters that reproduce faster in it as experimental materials."

After all, this was built by him alone, and it really belongs to his own mage tower, which is completely different from using other people's mage tower before.

"Goblin raising?!" Rhett opened his mouth in disbelief.

The half-orc warrior didn't understand at all that ordinary goblins, other than wasting food and adding a little combat experience to novice adventurers, had any other uses.

"Don't underestimate goblins.

Not only are these guys extremely adaptable.

And even if it eats garbage, it can multiply and grow rapidly in a short period of time.

It is very suitable to replace mice and become a better experimental subject.

Most importantly, they are humanoid creatures, very close to humans, elves, and dwarves in physical structure.

Generally speaking, magic and potions that work on goblins can also work on humans. "

Zuo Si meaningfully gave his reasons for raising goblins.

It takes only five years for a goblin to grow from birth to adulthood, and often a litter can give birth to astonishing numbers ranging from six to seven to as many as ten, which is comparable to that of sows.

This process can even be accelerated to less than three months under the influence of magic and hormones.

It is simply the best substitute for experimental mice.

In addition, goblins, small pest-like monsters, are very easy to control. As long as you summon a few hobgoblins or one or two bear goblins, you can firmly control them without worrying about any troubles.

It can also be used as cannon fodder and coolies when necessary, and even corpses after death can be used as materials for necromancy magic.

If you raise some powerful and ferocious monsters in the future, goblins can also be used as feed for feeding.

It is easy to feed, gives birth to many, grows fast, is not easy to get sick, and has many uses...

With so many benefits, why wouldn't you have a brood of goblins?

Rhett was obviously taken aback by Zuo Si's "shocking" remarks, and immediately took two steps back and whispered, "Damn it! I actually start to sympathize with those annoying goblins now. I guess those unlucky ones who were caught here Egg, the days to come will be very miserable."

"Whatever it is, it's just a group of goblins anyway, no one will care about it." Alena shrugged her shoulders with a blank expression.

"No, it's not just as simple as raising a brood of goblins. If the whole plan goes well enough, then we can make copies and even sell the goblins to mages who need them."

Vanessa, who is a lich, obviously sensed Zuo Si's intentions.

After all, for most necromancers, whether it is living experimental materials or dead corpses, it is difficult to ensure sufficient supply.

Especially in areas where slavery is prohibited, you can't just rush into other people's homes, or find a relatively remote small village to kidnap living people, right?

As for how hard it is to find the monster tribe in the wild, the key point is that one might overturn the car.

At this time, the benefits of a large number of goblin breeding are reflected.

In addition, goblins, like dark elves, have no human rights.

Even if it is known to the outside world, no one will take care of it.

Thinking of this, Vanessa subconsciously glanced at the drow not far away who was wearing chain mail and had an improved slavery collar around his neck.

Since the strange object has slowly emptied all the memory and knowledge in her mind, this guy is basically a research material and a human shield specially designed to resist spells.

Zuo Si stroked his chin and added with great interest: "Not only that! I can also let Vangers and her people transform the goblin into a werewolf by spreading lycanthropy, so that they can obtain a power that is not inferior to most human warriors." Physical fitness. In short, goblins are not as useless as people think, they just haven't found a corresponding method."

"Don't you still want to create a group of half-dragons and dragon descendants among the goblins?" Wilmes asked vigilantly.

"Why not?

Bell Torgas is dead anyway, and we can make the most of what he leaves behind.

But don't worry, I won't make too many this time.

After all, goblins are inherently chaotic creatures, completely different from the lawful and obedient kobolds.

Speaking of this, I remembered that it seems that some food should be sent to the kobolds who stayed in the dragon's lair.

Otherwise, after the eggs of the half-dragon kobolds hatch, their food reserves should not last long. "

Zuo Si almost forgot about the kobolds in Bell Torgath's lair due to his busy building the mage tower lately.

Maybe after a while, you can consider building a permanent portal in two places.

Anyway, with the power of the planeswalker spark, it is much easier for him to use teleportation magic than the native mages of Faerun.

In the absence of external interference, only a small amount of energy is required to open and close a portal.

At that time, by using the talent of kobolds who are good at digging holes, as well as goblin coolies and various undead creatures, maybe they can slowly dig through the entire underground of Askatla and create an underground world of their own. It's the same as the "Lyron Lost City" built underground in Waterdeep City.

At that time, no matter whether it is the six-member council or the masked mage, they will all act according to Zuo Si's face, instead of being controlled by others like they are now.

Of course, it's too early to think about this.

Zuo Si's goal in the next stage is to bring enough money to go to Candlekeep to replenish his lack of knowledge at this stage, and take a look at the famous son of Baal, little Emmon, and "adoptive father" Grian.
