One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 185 Lich's Ambition

With the official operation of the Mage Tower, Zuo Si once again lived the life of an "otaku".

In addition to meeting with Bernard occasionally, receiving some ordered daily necessities and furniture, and by the way, giving him a design drawing of the crooked crane hotel renovation.

The rest of the time is basically not doing experiments, but helping several other old mages who are about to come to the end of their lives to make phylacteries.

You must know that not all arcane spellcasters have enough knowledge and technology to create magic items and strange objects.

Many don't even meet the minimum requirements for crafting a Lich Phylactery.

But now with Zuo Si's help, phylactery making has become easier in no time.

They even only need to release a few corresponding high-level spells on the half-finished phylactery, and they can easily obtain a phylactery of their own.

Then drink the special poison adjusted according to oneself in the ceremony, and complete the whole process with strong willpower and desire to survive.

It can be said that Zuo Si simplifies this originally complicated and cumbersome process to an outrageous level through the powerful ability of the creator.

If it wasn't for the minimum level of LV11 required to become a lich, otherwise it would be impossible to transform successfully. He could even create a lich transformation assembly line to manufacture such undead spellcasters in large quantities.

After the people who completed the transformation ceremony were resurrected from their dead bodies one by one, the seven liches finally gathered together.

Including Zuo Si who is the leader, there are exactly eight people.

At this moment, they are sitting around a stone table in the secret room at the bottom of the tower, discussing the future development plan of the entire organization.

"Everyone. For the common benefit of all of us, I think everyone should share all the scrolls, spells, books, knowledge and technology that you have treasured. After all, Lord Sous has shared the knowledge he brought from another world, Techniques and spells, and there are even two books that record several nine-ring, eight-ring, and seven-ring spells."

Vanessa was the first to come forward with a suggestion.

After all, to get to where we are today, everyone here has some "unique skills" and "hole cards".

If we can come together to learn from each other and learn from each other, then everyone can benefit from it.

Jeffrey immediately nodded and echoed: "Good suggestion, I completely agree. After all, His Excellency South has shared so much valuable knowledge, we can't be too stingy. Later, I will put all the books in the library in my mage tower , Notes, and scroll transcripts will be delivered as soon as they are delivered.”

"Isn't it natural?"

"Me too!"

"And I!"

Several other liches also expressed their approval.

Since they get so much more than what they give, there is no objection at all.

Know that knowledge is not wealth, and the more you share it, the less it will become.

Just the opposite!

It will not become less, and it is possible that because more people learn it, it will slowly extend and create more knowledge.

This is why, every spellcasting organization will try to increase its reserves in this area, and spend a lot of money to hire adventurers, explore those ancient ruins and tombs, and collect all the magic knowledge of ancient times.

Seeing everyone's cooperation, Vanessa immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, then this matter is settled. Next is the second topic, what should our organization be called."

"Your Excellency South, you are the leader. I think you have the most say in this regard." Jeffrey turned his attention to Zuo Si who was sitting on the main seat.

"Name? Hmm...Since our goal is to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and other things related to magic, and we will act in a low-key and secretive way, why not call it [Arcane Society]."

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Si gave a name that he could think of.

In fact, according to his original intention, he didn't even remember the name at all, and just called it an "organization".

It can not only confuse the public, but also make it easier to put shit on the heads of evil organizations like the Santarim Society, Shadow Thieves, and Dragon Worshipers after something goes wrong.

But unfortunately, if an organization does not even have a decent name in Faerun, it is difficult to attract any talents.

"[Arcania Society]? Sounds good. Our organization will be called this name in the future."

Jeffrey was the first to agree.

Immediately after, the others also nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the name.

After getting the name of the organization, Vanessa immediately raised the third topic: "Your Excellency South, what is our current development direction?"

"Direction of development?"

Zuo Si was slightly taken aback, obviously never thinking about this question.

Seeing this, Vanessa immediately explained: "Although the main goal of the organization is to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and things related to magic.

But all of this requires a lot of money, and magic research also requires a lot of valuable materials.

Therefore, we must first find a way to increase income.

I personally think that the first step should be to take the Tethyr Kingdom as the basic base, unite to monopolize the arcane magic in this area, and make the local lords dependent on us, so as to earn a lot of wealth.

In the second step, you can establish strongholds in coastal cities such as Myratma, Zazespor, Mulan, Velen, and Askatla, and actively develop to the area from the Racing Strait to the Narenthel Islands, striving for complete conquest and control Pirates of this sea.

At that time, even if merchant ships are not robbed, they can still obtain huge funds by collecting protection fees.

Moreover, many of the islands in the Neilansel Islands are quite large, and they can be developed to build cities and villages.

In the third step, we use this island as a forward base, and we can go north to compete with the pirates of the Whale Islands for control of the Sword Coast.

After defeating and conquering the Whalebone Islands and completely controlling the northern Sword Coast, we will be able to force the Arcane Brotherhood that controls Luskan, the city of a thousand sails, to cooperate with us.

Then wait for the right moment to strike and defeat the Arcane Brotherhood in one fell swoop, taking all they have.

By that time, the most prosperous trade route on the west coast of the entire Faerun continent will be under our control.

Whether it is Waterdeep, Neverwinter, or Baldur's Gate, which rely entirely on maritime trade for survival, or countries like Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan, which also rely on maritime trade for prosperity, they must submit We pay our taxes, play by the rules we make, and obey our will.

In today's era, whoever controls the ocean is equivalent to controlling those important coastal port cities and trade nodes, and can gain huge wealth and power from them..."

Fuck!

Sea power theory?

Zuo Si was startled instantly.

Although he had already noticed that Vanessa was the only one among all the new liches who showed a strong desire for power.

But it was completely unexpected that the other party could formulate such a grand, huge and highly executable plan.

Because whether it is the pirates of the Nelanthel Islands or the pirates of the Whale Bone Islands, their ability to fight frontally is equivalent to no for a powerful Lich.

The latter can easily blast the former to pieces including people and boats.

What's more, beside Zuo Si, there are currently two people with the ability to control the mind, one is the strange object in Wilmes' mind, and the other is Bernard's younger sister Isadora.

This also means that it is entirely feasible to integrate the originally loose and contradictory pirates by forcibly modifying the memory.

As for the Arcane Brotherhood, it may be the one with the most hips among all the spellcasting organizations in the entire Faerun continent.

The level of spellcasting, including the leader and several tower masters, is not high, and the internal fighting is more serious than that of the red-robed mage. Even the high-level people often die from the daggers from behind.

So Vanessa's idea of ​​killing the Arcane Brotherhood and capturing Luskan, the city of a thousand sails, is not difficult at all to realize.

Anyway, apart from Zuo Si, the Arcane Society is a group of liches, so there is no need to worry about death at all.

As long as a few suicidal sneak attacks are carried out regardless of the cost to get rid of the high-level opponents, the low-level mages and apprentices below will soon collapse.

All that remains is to pick up the pieces and make Luskan's pirates, merchants, and citizens recognize a new ruler.

There is no doubt that the grand blueprint drawn by Vanessa is a huge temptation for everyone present.

Because it doesn't need to collide head-on with those powerful organizations that have gods as their backing, it's basically picking up the weak persimmons, and it can bring huge benefits.

Whether it's pirates or the Arcane Brotherhood, without exception, they all belong to the kind of notorious villains, even if other forces know that someone is going to mess with them, they will only applaud.

With low risk and high return, even Zuo Si felt a little bit excited.

After rubbing his chin and pondering for a long time, he finally raised his head and said: "In principle, I agree to implement the first and second steps, and let the third step go for a while. The environment in the Northland is more complicated. After confirming that the city of Deep Water, Before Silvermoon City and Neverwinter City lead the Lords Alliance attitude, attacking the Arcane Brotherhood and Luskan is not a wise move."

"Understood. Don't worry, I will act as low-key as possible according to your request."

After getting an affirmative answer, Vanessa immediately fell into ecstasy, and at the same time gave a guarantee without hesitation.

Because since he became a lich, he has completely lost all worldly desires, leaving only an endless thirst for power, knowledge and strength.

Power, especially, can fill a strong void within.

The development direction of the organization was established, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

Jeffrey even took the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency South, do you have anything to say about continuing to recruit members?"

Zuo Si straightforwardly stretched out two fingers: "I only have two requests.

First, at this stage all core members must transform themselves into liches, and the phylactery is kept by me. Other than that, all others are peripheral members.

For peripheral members, they cannot know the existence of the organization, but they can improve their status by performing tasks and serving the organization in exchange for corresponding rewards.

When a peripheral member proves his ability and loyalty, he can apply to the organization, and then I will come forward to help him complete the Lich Transformation Ceremony.

In short, for core members, our principle is that there is no option to quit.

But for peripheral members, whether they join the core or opt out is their own freedom. "

Jeffrey nodded thoughtfully: "Understood. That is to say, our apprentices cannot join the core for the time being, but they can act as peripheral members of the organization. Old friends who are not willing to die like this can try to win them in."

"That's right. Everyone, please keep in mind that even though you are all liches, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly."

Zuo Si solemnly issued a warning to several liches.

Because he knew that maybe the newly born Lich would still retain some habits and ways of thinking from his previous life.

But over time, negative energy and undead instincts will gradually dehumanize them. In the end, you only pay attention to the things you are interested in, and don't care about the rest at all.

If slaughtering a city can get what they want, then those liches who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years will definitely do it without hesitation, without considering the consequences at all.

This is most evident in the founder of the Dragon Cult, Sammaster.

When he fought Losander, the Lord of Dawn, the gap in hard power between the two sides had reached an irreparable point.

But even so, the former still did not hesitate to use the last hole card to attack the incarnation of powerful divine power.

In the end, it was only a few drops of blood left behind by God, and he was wiped out in an instant.

Many people think that it is a disgrace for someone like Losander to personally descend into an incarnation but be injured by a mortal, and it can be called "the shame of the gods".

What's even more outrageous is that the blood that flowed out was collected by the priest afterwards as a kind of glory, and displayed in the temple of the Lord of Dawn for the believers to admire.

But think about it from another angle, if you are an ordinary person, do you hope that the patron saint of your faith can come to save yourself from danger at a critical moment, or do you hope that it will be indifferent and let the tragedy happen?

The answer is obviously the former.

Almost everyone longs for a powerful and invincible hero or god to help them when encountering difficulties and dangers.

This is why similar old-fashioned plots can resonate with people again and again.

Zuo Si doesn't care about the grievances between Sammaster and Losander, and doesn't like to make too many comments.

But he didn't want these guys who were transformed into liches with his help to become so crazy one day.

"clear!"

Vanessa took the lead and stood up, together with the other six liches, she put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply to express her obedience.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I hope you can do what you say. Finally, on this special day today, I have another good news to announce to you."

"Oh? What good news?" Jeffrey asked curiously.

Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "I believe you should have heard the rumors about my origin.

Now, what I want to tell you is that a small part of this rumor is true.

I do come from another magical world, and that world does not have any gods, and at the same time developed a floating city and a brilliant magic civilization.

As soon as the time is right, I will open the portal to one of the floating cities occupied by undead creatures and lead you to occupy it. "

"What? A world without gods at all?"

"A floating city full of undead creatures?"

"My God! This is simply a necromancer's paradise!"

"Your Excellency South. When you decide to open the portal, please be sure to take me with you."

...

All of a sudden, all the liches on the scene fell into madness.

Because in the history of Faerun Continent, the floating city of Netheril and the magic lock created by the high elf mage are called two unrepeatable miracles, representing the pinnacle of magic civilization.

When they heard that someone had created the floating city in another world, and it was still an ownerless thing occupied by undead creatures, they immediately wanted to snatch it at all costs.

At that time, whether it is used as a secret base or used as a weapon to enter the war, it will definitely not be comparable to one or two mage towers.

In this way, ending with an exciting news, the first group meeting of the core members of the organization finally came to an end.

Obviously, Zuo Si made these newborn liches full of energy by drawing big cakes.

Right now, they are no longer servants who have to sacrifice their lives just to fulfill the agreement, or because the phylactery is held in the hands of others.

It is a group of partners who burst out with unprecedented work enthusiasm for their own interests, and can enjoy huge dividends from the development and growth of the organization.

After sending these liches away one by one, Zuo Si, who had been busy for several days without taking a breath, took the time to come to the sofa in the lounge, laying on her knees and whimpering. The deformed cat pets the cub, and asks Wilmes with a smile: "How, are you satisfied with the new nest I prepared for you?"

"It's not bad. Except for those mephits and goblins who are a little noisy, everything else is fine. I have almost moved all my treasures in, and the lair near Melatma will be completely abandoned in the future."

As Wilmes answered, he stuffed a slightly burnt steak into his mouth.

A vicious and tyrannical red dragon, her original favorite food was tender young women, especially elves and half-elves.

But now he is forced to change his mouth and can only eat some fish, poultry and livestock meat.

As for roasting until burnt, it was her own request.

Because the red dragon is a dragon with fire attributes, it prefers burnt food in terms of taste.

This is the same reason as the white dragon likes to freeze food before eating, and the black dragon likes to bury the meat to rot and ferment before eating.

"Those goblins who were transformed into werewolves didn't cause any trouble, did they?"

As soon as goblins were mentioned, Zuo Si immediately became interested.

Through experiments, he found that after the goblin was transformed into a werewolf, it maintained a half-beast and half-human form, and its working efficiency was six times that of ordinary goblins, far exceeding the limit of most human labor.

Moreover, maintaining this form and using necromantic magic to pull it up as a low-level zombie after death is much better than ordinary goblin zombies.

Coupled with the advantages of easy feeding, high fertility rate, and short growth cycle...

As long as it can solve the problems caused by its chaotic nature, it is simply the most ideal raw material for coolies and necromancers.

After the hobgoblin werewolf hunting team has searched in the deep mountains these days, they have caught more than 800 goblins, all of which were infected with lycanthropy and turned into werewolves.

Attempts are being made to militarize and obedience train it.

Wilmes shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Trouble? What kind of trouble can a group of goblins cause.

Those hobgoblin werewolves under your command manage them with ease.

But this obedience is only superficial, once the hobgoblin worgen leave, they will mess up again. "

"That is to say, we can only rely on violence and high-pressure methods for the time being..."

Zuo Si stroked her chin and frowned.

But soon, he thought of an idea, and immediately ordered to the wonder in the Red Dragon's mind: "Select the most obedient ones from those goblins, and let them reproduce. As for the other goblins, all castrate and sterilize them. I don't believe that after a few generations of reproduction with this artificial intervention, it will not be possible to cultivate obedient goblins."

Hearing these words, Wilmes opened his mouth wide in shock and was speechless.

Although she knew that Zuo Si was a "ruthless person", she never expected to be so cruel, completely treating goblins as creatures like poultry and livestock.

"As you wish, master." The strange thing immediately responded.

In this way, the future fate of those goblin werewolves who were thrown into the sewer at the bottom of the mage tower was decided by just a few words.

After eating the scorched steak on the plate, Wilmes quickly returned to the lower floor of the Mage Tower under the urging of the strange object.

After probing the thinking and memory of all the goblins, the strange thing quickly selected 20 male goblins and more than a hundred female goblins as samples for artificial intervention experiments.

The other goblins were castrated without exception in less than an hour.

Since they are all werewolves and have strong self-recovery abilities, the castration was also extremely rough, and they didn't even bother to anesthetize them. The creepy screams and wailing echoed in the sewer, scaring away the rats.

Just when Zuo Si was about to take a stroll around Woking shopping mall to relax, an envoy from the council of six came to visit suddenly and presented an invitation letter and a money order of 40,000 gold coins.

He opened the invitation letter face to face and looked at it, and immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Let me go to Candlekeep with the envoys to participate in the peace talks with Baldur's Gate?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The council wants to use your name to frighten those country bumpkins, so as to sign a treaty that is beneficial to Amn. Forty thousand gold coins are paid to you." The messenger replied with a smile on his face. road.

"What about the time? When are you going to leave?" Zuo Si followed up and asked again.

"Three days later. At that time, the envoys will be waiting for you outside the city gate."

After finishing speaking, the envoy rested his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, then turned around and took the carriage back to the administrative area.

Watching the other party gradually disappear at the end of the street, Zuo Si showed a playful smile and whispered: "It's really worthy of the commercial empire Amn, who dares to use such despicable tricks that don't talk about martial ethics. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I And I just plan to go to Candlekeep."

There is no doubt that this negotiation is to resolve the border war that broke out between Baldur's Gate and Amn not long ago.

Or call it "Steel Havoc".

You can tell from the name that this is a local conflict caused by steel trade friction.

Among them, Amn lost almost 4,000 troops, while Baldur's Gate suffered 2,500 casualties, which is a heavy loss.

As for the reason, of course, the Amn merchants who control the iron ore resources of Nasikai are greedy and want to increase the price of steel products in the area around Baldur's Gate through hoarding and monopoly.

As a port city that also started with trade, how could the Baldur's Gate merchant class suffer such a disadvantage, and immediately put on a posture of attacking Naxi Kai to seize the iron ore.

In the end, the two sides fought around this steel-producing town.

But now, because the war is at a stalemate, no one can take advantage of it, so the problem can only be resolved through negotiations.

The idea of ​​the six-person deliberation is very simple, that is to use the name of Zuo Si, the goddess of poison and plague, as the elector of Talona, ​​to intimidate the representatives of Baldur's Gate.

The subtext is that if you don't make any concessions, we will use large-scale indiscriminate attacks such as plagues.

As for why Candlekeep was chosen as the venue for the negotiations, of course Candlekeep is an absolutely neutral place, established by followers of Oghma, the God of Knowledge, and does not belong to the sphere of influence of either side.

Wanting to understand this, Zuo Si immediately began to count the little cash on hand.

Among them were the 70,000 gold coins obtained from selling poison to the Shadow Thief, the remaining 100,000 from the previous construction of the Mage Tower, and more than 60,000 of the funerary objects looted from the catacombs of the Crooked Crane Hotel...

The sum of all these things may be in the early 200,000s.

Perhaps for those who just read books and consult information, such a large sum of money cannot be spent.

But the problem is, Zuo Si rushed to copy all the books and scrolls in the entire Candlekeep from the very beginning.

So this amount of money is far from enough.

"Damn it! Building this mage tower really emptied me. It seems that I can only sell some magic items that are temporarily unused."

After all, he quickly counted out a batch from the inventory and put them into the dimension bag, then took two summoned creatures and went straight to Woking shopping mall.

...

At the same time, in the sewer of the Woking shopping mall, Irenicas was standing in the secret stronghold he had just established, watching the elf woman who had just climbed out of the jar and had a shocking beauty, her eyes burst out at the same time. It shoots out two strong, complex and contradictory emotions of love and hatred.

"I... who am I?" The beautiful elf woman asked with a blank face.

At this moment, she is naked from top to bottom, showing off her graceful figure to the fullest.

"Your name is Alison! You were my former lover." Irenicus said meaningfully.

"Alison? Lover? Why can't I remember anything?" The elf shook her head desperately trying to recover her memory.

But unfortunately, no matter what she did, she couldn't recall even a little bit of content, just like a newborn baby, her past memories were all blank.

Irenicus walked up slowly, cupped the opponent's face with both hands, kissed it directly with extremely aggressive movements, and then pressed the opponent under his body to frantically demand.

After a full ten minutes, when all the strong impulses that could not be suppressed in his heart were vented, he finally returned to his usual rationality and coldness.

As for the woman named Alison on the ground, she has completely turned into a lifeless corpse at this moment.

To be exact, he was strangled to death.

Irenicus didn't even look at the corpse, and directly chanted a spell to release a six-ring [dissociation technique], disintegrating it into a pile of meaningless dust on the spot.

The vampire Badi, who stood aside and watched the show for a long time, couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Why, my dear brother, can't you still forget the elf queen who made us look like this?"

"How could I forget! The harm and pain she caused me, I want a thousand times, ten thousand times revenge. No one can stop my revenge, not even God." Irenicus resolutely Said.

"That's right! Revenge! We're going to set Suodanisla on fire! Kill all those damned elves." Badi roared bloodthirsty.

Obviously, the fire of hatred in the hearts of these two people is burning.

However, compared to Badi who is easily affected by the bloodthirsty nature of vampires, Irenicus seems to be calmer, and asked straightforwardly: "Is there any result from the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

"Of course! The strange siphon phenomenon was actually caused by a mage tower.

Its owner is a guy named Soth, who looks like a ten-year-old human boy.

However, his background is not ordinary. He is not only a chosen one of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, but also a visitor from another world.

What, do you want to get his idea? "

Badi narrowed his eyes and tentatively said.

"Chosen of the gods?"

Irenicus frowned subconsciously when he heard the news.

Since he was sanctioned by members of the elf pantheon not long ago, he is now afraid of creatures like gods and wants to conduct research.

"Do you want me to plan an ambush against South?" Badi asked meaningfully.

Irenicus was obviously hesitating, and nodded slightly after about half a minute: "Of course! But this time we can't do it ourselves in an ambush, let alone expose our existence."

"You mean... to hire the Emerald Association?"

Ba Di immediately understood what was happening, and a chilling smile emerged from the corners of his mouth.

"Yes! Promise some scrolls of knowledge, technology, and magic to the senior members of the Emerald Society. Regardless of success or failure, we can hide in the dark and take the opportunity to collect some information about this electorate."

Irene Carls speaks her mind straightforwardly.

As a powerful mage from outside, he came into contact with this underground organization dedicated to overthrowing the Masked Mage Guild not long after he came to Askatla to establish a stronghold.

Even a large number of alchemy and experimental equipment around were secretly transported by the other party through various channels.

The purpose of the Emerald Association is very simple, that is to win over and unite this amazing mage, find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack to kill the high-level masked mage, and weaken his control over Amn.

Unfortunately, these poor fellows don't know that Joan Irenicus is not interested in overthrowing the Masked Mages Guild's monopoly.

Just using the Emerald Society as a tool that can be used, as if he is also using the Shadow Thief of Amn.

"Understood. I'm going to negotiate with the people of the Emerald Association now, and I believe they will not refuse."

After saying this, Ba Di instantly turned into a bat and flew quickly in the narrow passage, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Watching the vampire leave, Irenicus turned around and glanced behind him at the dozens of huge glass jars taller than a person, and the clone of Elf Queen Alison in the jars. A cruel smile appeared on his face, and he woke up again. one of.

torture!

ill!

vent!

He is satisfying his twisted and sick desires in this way.

Because if you don't, Irenicus will be completely swallowed by the ever-expanding madness in his heart.

...

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't know that he was being targeted again, and he was bargaining with several adventurers who wanted to buy magic weapons and armor in the adventurer's market.

"Fifteen thousand gold coins! This is the lowest price I can give.

Look at the blue scales on this armor, it is made of blue dragon skin, which can help you resist and absorb most of the lightning damage.

Moreover, it is also blessed with a permanent [protection against evil], which allows the wearer to gain more advantages when dealing with enemies of the evil camp. "

Zuo Si flickered with his armor made of green-footed dragon-snake leather in his hand.

yes!

He sold the blue-footed dragon snakeskin armor as blue dragon leather armor.

Anyway, most people have never seen a blue dragon, let alone distinguish the difference between dragon scales and green-footed dragon snake scales.

Plus both have strong lightning resistance, so the chances of being ripped off are low.

Especially when there is not even a spell caster in the customer team.

What's more, in the commercial empire of Amn, almost all businesses are using such propaganda methods.

For example, the owner of the booth next to him is bragging that his weapons and armor are all made by dwarf craftsmen.

But in fact, Zuo Si just saw him buying goods in a blacksmith shop run by humans more than half an hour ago.

"Damn it! Fifteen thousand gold coins are too expensive!"

The man in his thirties with short black hair couldn't help but complain.

But the female companion standing next to him comforted: "But this armor is worth the money, isn't it? Although I am not a leather craftsman, I can tell that it is well-made and has a defense comparable to the strongest half-body armor." Strength. Coupled with the resistance to lightning, it will definitely protect your safety in future adventures."

"Well—well, well, I'll pay."

The man sighed slightly, and reluctantly took out a stack of money orders from the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth Woking from his backpack and handed it to Zuo Si.

Then without saying a word, he took off the metal armor on his body, and put on the blue-footed dragon snake armor that was shining with blue light.

After moving his hands and feet a little, surprise appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "It's unbelievable! This armor doesn't affect the movement of the joints at all."

"Of course! I told you from the very beginning that all the weapons and armor here are out-and-out high-quality products. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and there is a reason why they are expensive."

Zuo Si, who made a fortune, stuffed the money order into her satchel contentedly.

He now finally understands the joy of Elsa, the magic item merchant in Calimport.

Because the armor that was sold just now, except for the skin of the green-footed dragon snake, which is more valuable, which is worth about three thousand gold coins, the rest of the cost can basically be ignored.

In addition, during the production process, with the creator's special ability, it didn't even take five minutes in total.

For those joints that are difficult for other leather craftsmen to handle, Zuo Si only needs to shape the shape a little bit.

And this kind of armor, every time you sell one piece, you can make a net profit of more than 10,000 gold coins, which is faster than getting money from robbery.

The man smiled wryly and nodded: "Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes sense. By the way, besides armor, do you have any good weapon recommendations here?"

"Weapons? It depends on what kind of weapons you are good at. I have two-handed swords, long swords, half-handed swords, one-handed axes, two-handed axes, spears, javelins, war hammers, compound bows..."

Zuo Si pointed to the various weapons displayed on the booth and introduced them one by one.

You don't need to ask to know that all he sells are out-and-out magic weapons.

Among them are the captured trophies, as well as works made by myself in my spare time, just to verify certain magical techniques or brain holes.

"Well, I'm personally good at using long swords. If possible, it's better to have fire or strong acid damage." The man quickly made a request.

"Fire and acid? Are you going to deal with trolls?" Zuo Si asked curiously.

The woman smiled and replied: "That's right. We have received a commission to go to the troll mountain area west of the Viper Forest, and we need a magic weapon that can kill trolls with infinite regeneration ability."

"I see. Then I solemnly recommend this acid fire sword to you. When it hits the enemy, it can not only cause extra strong acid damage, but also has a certain chance to release a meter-long high-temperature tongue of flame. Absolutely Ideal weapon against trolls."

With that said, Zuo Si picked up a long sword with emerald green light from the booth and handed it to the other party.

Without further ado, the man took it and swung it vigorously twice. He immediately sensed the magical power attached to the sword body and hilt, and immediately asked in a very nervous tone, "How much does this sword cost?"

"It's not expensive, it only needs to be the same price as the armor just now."

Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth and showed a smile that made everyone in this adventure team feel creepy.

Hearing the number fifteen thousand, the expression on the man's face instantly froze, and then he carefully put the sword in his hand back into the booth, and said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I can't afford this weapon with the money I have left."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough cash, I can also use gems, books, scrolls and other spoils obtained during the adventure to pay for it."

Zuo Si very generously proposed a solution.

In fact, he has long seen that the adventure team in front of him is quite strong, and they must have valuable spoils.

Otherwise, the average adventure team would not be able to afford expensive magic equipment.

"Oh? Really? I have a book found in the ruins here, let's see how much it is worth."

As he said that, a small dwarf thief next to him took out an ancient book with a badly damaged cover and looked a little old from his backpack.

Zuo Si took it and first cast a three-ring magic [Secret Sight] carefully, and immediately looked at the black and red arcane aura emanating from the book.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely dirty and evil magic book.

Although the concealment is very good, there is nothing to hide in front of [Mysterious Sight].

Opening the content inside, all you see are all kinds of mysterious symbols arranged in a mess, and even after a long time, you will have symptoms of numbness in your hands and feet, dizziness, and nausea.

In the eyes of people who don't understand magic at all, this is a worthless book, and it's even too hard to wipe your ass.

But in Zuo Si's eyes, these messy symbols were rearranged in just a few seconds, forming one terrible sacrifice and summoning ceremony written in Abyssal language one after another, and even recorded the names of some powerful demons.
