One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 211 "Magic Man" Irenicus

Since returning to the Mage Tower, Zuo Si began to improve his strength in an orderly manner according to the plan.

He first spent some time, with the assistance of the Liches, made the corpses of the two beholders into "Death-Eyed Tyrants", and sealed them in the card as creatures that could be summoned at any time.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned the green-footed dragon snake and studied the arcane imprint left by the "crazy mage" Helast Heipao.

In the end, he personally completed the dissection of the aboleth, and found out the strange physiological structure of this ancient creature, as well as their incredible memory inheritance method.

Of course, these are the results obtained by the aboleth himself while conducting the vivisection.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for outsiders to figure out some of the mysteries if they rely solely on dissection, naked eye observation, and magic detection.

Because the reason why aboleths are classified as "abnormal" is because their body structure is very different from other "natural" creatures.

Many organs, especially the brain, which is protected by the hard skull behind the eyes, are not purely composed of nerve cells, but are surrounded by a mass of dark red blood.

If someone tried to remove the brain tissue from the blood, the brain tissue would melt into a viscous pool within seconds.

This is why some powerful mages who wrote the "Book of Strangeness" dissected and studied many aboleths, but they never described the structure and use of the brain in detail.

According to the aboleths' own narration, their brains come from the blood of the ancient evil—Paischessis, which is beyond comprehension by mortals and even gods.

Therefore, no one can figure out what is going on with the brains of the aboleths, why they can accumulate and pass on their memories infinitely until the end of the world or the end of time, even if they themselves are no exception.

In addition, Zuo Si also extracted a large amount of lost history and secrets from the ancient times of the Toril world from the brain of this aboleth, some spell models that may be outdated now but still have learning and reference value, And knowledge of magic and psychic powers.

Finally, there are more than a dozen aboleth cities hidden in the deep sea and even in the "Shimmer Sea" in the Underdark region.

yes!

These ancient races, which are so ancient that even most gods can't match them, are still maintaining the civilization they created, and no matter how many disasters and changes they experience, they will never stop.

"Aboleth is really an incredible creature..."

After reading the experimental notes written by himself these days, Zuo Si couldn't help sighing.

Similarly, he also has a strong interest in those existences beyond the gods - ancient evils.

Because if the power of gods comes from spirit and belief, then the power of ancient evils comes from the chaos and distortion deep in the universe that cannot be described in words.

Of course, just like the huge gap in divine power between the gods, ancient evils are also divided into strengths and weaknesses.

Some can only cause certain threats and troubles to the gods, but some have the terrifying power to easily destroy a world, and even slaughter all the gods in the world.

And the "Blood Queen" Pasches Sith, who created the aboleth, is undoubtedly the best among them.

It is said that some cultists have summoned this terrifying ancient evil in other worlds.

As a result, the latter simply appeared and quickly left, causing the death of hundreds of millions of creatures.

And the whole world will fall into complete madness for a long time in the future. A large number of creatures will be corroded and transformed by the blood unintentionally left behind. It will take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to repair before they can slowly return to normal.

Just when Zuo Si closed the notebook and put it back on the bookshelf, he immediately saw Jeffrey rushing in from the outside, shouting excitedly: "Your Excellency! After days of sleepless research, we finally figured out What happened to the imprint left by the mad mage Helast Black Robe on the blue-footed dragon-colored scales?"

"Oh? Tell me." An expression of interest appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Since he focused his energy on studying the aboleth, he temporarily handed over the green-footed dragon snake to a few liches who were best at rune research.

Jeffrey hurriedly explained: "According to several times of detection and analysis, we found that the mark is actually composed of more than 20 complex runes mixed together. It is a bit like the magic tattoo of the red-robed mage, It’s also a bit like constant magic, or somewhere in between. In short, through this method, some magical effects can be permanently added to the surface of the organism.”

"What about the cost?"

Zuo Si quickly raised the question that he was most concerned about.

Because things like constant magic on creatures are indeed not difficult in Faerun.

The only restrictions are the casting level and the various rare materials that need to be prepared to cast constant magic.

For example, a second-level [Dark Vision] would cost about 5,000 gold coins and materials to stabilize it, and the caster must have at least a casting level of LV10.

As for the constant cost of other high-level spells, there is no need to say much, just one word "expensive".

Of course, in addition to being able to be constant on people, magic can also be constant on some objects, so that it can produce permanent magical effects.

A lot of high-level magic equipment is produced in this way.

In comparison, the magic tattoo technology cost of the red robe wizards is relatively cheap.

And you can have up to three tattoos.

In order to accommodate more and more powerful magic tattoos on their bodies as much as possible, some red-robed mages even shave their hair to increase the skin available for tattooing.

This is why most images of red-robed wizards are bald.

If the "crazy mage" who is a remnant of the Imasca Empire has better technology, then Zuo Si doesn't mind taking it as a reward at all and distributing it to those peripheral members who contributed the most.

I believe that many mages and adventurers will do their best to complete those dangerous tasks for a secret imprint that can release a certain spell infinitely.

Jeffrey pondered for a moment, and immediately responded: "Sorry, we don't know much about these runes for the time being, and we can barely achieve the limited low-level magic spells such as [Invisibility], [Colorful Jet], and [Sleep]. If nothing else, the cost including the casting materials should not exceed a thousand gold coins."

"That is to say, Helast Black Robe should have a complete and cheaper magic constant technology?"

Zuo Si rubbed her chin with a thoughtful expression.

"That's right! I think this should be a unique skill that he summed up bit by bit when he used magical power to build the huge Leyline Lost City.

It may even be a part of the huge magical structure of the lost city of leylines like a mystical lock.

Otherwise, even for a legendary mage, it would definitely be an impossible task to apply magic effects to an area as large as several cities put together. "

Jeffrey expressed his inference enthusiastically.

Compared with his ambitious friend Vanessa, he is obviously a typical scholar mage, and he prefers to study topics of interest in the tower for a long time.

"Interesting... Then let's put the constants of these spells in the exchange. I think many people will be interested in this. By the way, how many peripheral members are there in the organization?" Zuo Si said casually asked a question.

"If you don't count the pirates who are already under control, and the adventurers who are simply hired, the current number of members outside the organization is about 400 people.

Seventy of them are apprentices and disciples we have accepted before, and they constitute the most trustworthy part of the peripheral members.

Then there are some long-term cooperative elite adventure teams, and two mercenary groups with about 80 people.

Finally, there are three succubus, two glabra, and a lizard, who can serve as temporary commanders for some actions and plans.

However, the range of activities is limited to the surrounding areas of the Kingdom of Tethyr, and the area between the Sea of ​​Swords and the Bay of Swords.

Since the uninhabited Colin Islands in the northern part of the Moon Shadow Sea have been captured, all pirate ships coming from the north to the south have been completely blocked.

So whether it is the pirates of the Whalebone Islands or the Luskan pirates controlled by the Arcane Brotherhood, they now regard us as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. "

Jeffrey briefly introduced the situation.

Because many of these peripheral members are directly developed from the core members' original apprentices, collaborators, and private armed forces.

As the leader of the organization, Zuo Si must not be very clear.

yes!

In Faerun Continent, almost every high-level mage has more or less his own personal weapons.

Among them, the high-ranking red-robed wizard who holds the highest power in the country of Searle has dozens to hundreds of legal "private troops", which can also be called "followers".

You must know that these armies are not ordinary soldiers without professional levels, but at least consist of fighters, thieves, mages, warlocks, druids, priests, etc. above level 3.

Some of them accept employment purely for money;

Some of them are themselves or their family members who have been favored by the mages, so they want to repay this kindness;

Some want to get some ways to make themselves stronger from the profound knowledge of high-level mages, or get some powerful magic items and equipment;

Others are in awe and worship of magical power, so they resolutely choose to become a follower.

If it is a mage of the evil camp, his personal armament may also include orcs, hobgoblins, bear goblins, gnolls, trolls, ogres, titans and other monsters, as well as demons and devils summoned from different planes. , and even dragons enslaved by control.

Just look at the Leyline Lost City built by the "crazy mage" Helast Black Robe. As long as a powerful spellcaster has enough time, it is not difficult to build a city or even a country, let alone an army.

After listening to the Lich's report, Zuo Si rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that you have integrated the available human resources well. But remember to be cautious when expanding, I don't want too many Spies and spies from other forces."

"Please don't worry about this. We have always been very cautious when recruiting members, and we will never allow any guy with suspicious identities and behaviors to have access to the core secrets of the organization. In addition, regarding the batch you provided last time For small energy storage devices, I have developed corresponding weapons according to requirements, please take a look."

Saying that, Jeffrey took out a gun-like thing from his arms.

"this is……"

Zuo Si took it and glanced at it twice, showing very different expressions.

Because although this thing looks like the sharpest part of the front end of the spear.

But if you look closely, you can find that it is not solid metal at all, but a cylindrical energy storage device that is about two hands long and about the thickness of a sword hilt is inlaid inside.

Judging from the reserved space of the outer wrapped iron sheet, it should be directly placed on the wooden handle and then fixed.

Jeffrey explained in a slightly smug tone: "This is the weapon I designed. It can not only cause additional lightning damage when the attack hits, but also release arcs to deal damage to enemies within a straight line range tens of meters away. Group killing effect.

According to the test, after such a lightning spear is charged, it can release five long-range attacks in battle.

If they are used together, they can often cause quite astonishing damage to the enemy.

At present, more than 300 pieces have been produced, and they were just delivered to the fleet in the north near Baldur's Gate. I believe we will get feedback soon. "

no doubt!

This so-called lightning spear is actually a small electric energy storage device covered with a shell.

Since it is equipped in batches for elite soldiers, the materials and costs are compressed to the extreme.

At the beginning, it only took Zuo Si a few hours to produce a share that could equip hundreds of people.

And the cost of one is only about fifteen gold coins, and it can be recharged at one time through the connection portal between the Mage Tower and the Air Elemental Plane and the huge wind generator.

The reason why he did this was mainly to provide a cheap and easy-to-operate long-range attack method for the reorganized pirates.

Ensure that even without the support of spellcasters, they are the most powerful sea power on the west coast of Faerun.

As for the artillery...

Sorry, there are more powerful magics available, who wants to play with primitive gunpowder weapons with impressive hit rates.

You must know that even in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, when the guns of naval battleships were fired at a relatively late stage, the hit rate of the two warring parties was only about 5%.

That is to say, after a modern artillery fires twenty-five rounds in a row, only one round is likely to hit the enemy ship.

What's more, gunpowder weapons have extremely strict requirements on the industrial base and logistical support.

Zuo Si is not interested in developing an industrial foundation from scratch, and establishing a school to train a group of talents in mathematics, metallurgy and chemistry.

It is also impossible to use the creator's ability to rub tons of shells and explosives without doing anything all day long.

To sum up, the time cost invested is too high, and the gain outweighs the gain.

On the contrary, some cheap magic devices are directly improved as weapons, which can exert unexpected powerful lethality.

In fact, Zuo Si has provided the pirates with a queen-size bed crossbow arrow that is hollowed out in the middle and stuffed into cans of blazing glue, as a big killer used in sea battles.

Once this giant arrow hits the deck or the side of the ship, it will immediately pierce the blazing glue hidden inside due to the reaction force of the arrow, causing this viscous liquid to come into contact with the air, and then quickly start to burn violently, eventually causing a The wooden sailboat completely turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The effect is somewhat similar to an incendiary bomb.

But what is more difficult than incendiary bombs is that Blazing Glue is an out-and-out alchemical item.

It is impossible to extinguish it by any non-magical means before it is completely burned out.

The problem of hit rate can only be solved by equipping the personnel in charge of operating the bed crossbow and firing with a ring that stores the [Enemy Striking Opportunity].

However, considering that the production cost of Blazing Glue is a bit high, there is this alternative plan.

After all, the current naval battle in Faerun Continent is mainly based on side-to-side battles.

It can strike the enemy with a violent group arc within a range of tens of meters, and the damage it causes is enough to make most sailors and soldiers who are not determined enough to collapse instantly.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Good job. But how do you plan to solve the problem of recharging? After the energy is exhausted, directly replace the gun head and bring it back to the mage tower for rotation?"

"I have prepared two plans.

One set is what you just mentioned for replacement.

The advantage of doing this is that this fleet transformed from pirates can be firmly controlled from the source, so that they can understand who is the real master.

Besides that, I have a backup plan, which is to have a powered ship in the fleet.

Then breed a large number of lightning lizards in the cabin.

These magical beasts, which are about the size of a dog, can emit quite astonishingly powerful lightning from their bodies.

It only takes one or two hours to complete the work of charging hundreds of spears. "

Jeffrey unhurriedly revealed all the plans he had prepared in advance.

Bioelectricity?

Green energy?

Sustainability?

For this outstanding idea, Zuo Si immediately affirmed: "It's great. Just do it boldly according to your idea."

"Thank you very much for your trust and support. Don't worry, I guarantee that the development of new weapons in the future will never disappoint you."

After saying this, Jeffrey bowed deeply with one hand on his chest, then turned and left.

When the Lich was completely gone, Zuo Si stared at the gun in his hand and smiled and muttered to himself: "Has it been equipped for the navy around Baldur's Gate? It seems that those dukes are going to be in bad luck." Woolen cloth."

Just as he was about to extract the stored energy of the Mage Tower to increase the level of [Mystic], he suddenly received a message from [SMS].

The person who sent the text message was none other than Lei Yin, who had completely controlled the Jade Association.

The purpose is also very simple!

That is to meet Irenicus who is hiding in the sewers of the Woking mall area, and see if he can dig out some magical skills unique to elves from him.

Without any hesitation!

Zuo Si checked the equipment and the spells and magic spells prepared this morning, and immediately covered his face with the hood, left the tower alone and rushed to the assembly point at an extremely fast speed.

In about 20 minutes or so, he arrived near the entrance of the shopping mall.

Lei Yin, who had been waiting here for a long time, did not dare to neglect, and immediately bent down and bowed deeply: "Master..."

"How is the situation at the Emerald Association?"

Zuo Si took off his hood and asked a question.

Lei Yin hurriedly replied: "I have completely controlled everything about this organization in Kezula's lair.

And sorted out the list of members scattered all over Amn.

Among them, the gem vein that is secretly controlled can provide at least 500 high-quality gemstones worth no less than 1,000 gold coins a year, and thousands of medium-sized gemstones worth 100 to 500 gold coins. gem.

As for the number of low-level gemstones worth less than one hundred gold coins, there are even more.

It is precisely by relying on the astonishing wealth brought by this vein that the Emerald Association can maintain its own existence and development under the suppression of the Masked Mage Guild.

In addition, I also found that most of the members of the organization are concentrated in the two cities in the south and the Kingdom of Tethyr.

And they are using various methods to infiltrate the upper ruling class. It seems that they intend to secretly seize control of the city, and then drive out the forces of masked mages and shadow thieves. "

"Pay close attention to the development of the situation, but don't bother with them deliberately. Also, hasn't the Lord of Talismans, Shang Gra, contacted you recently?"

Zuo Si raised her head and directly asked the question she was most concerned about.

Compared with little-known organizations like the Emerald Society, the Entanglement Talisman is obviously a serious problem.

Especially after learning that Lagon and other legendary mages wanted to turn themselves into liches like them, the vigilance in Zuo Si's heart was directly raised to the highest level.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark.

The more powerful but low-key organization like Entanglement Talisman, the more careful and vigilant it is.

Lei Yin shook her head lightly: "No. My teacher is not that quick-tempered person.

When he entrusts a certain task to his cronies, there is usually not a year or two without taking the initiative to ask.

In his view, patience is the prerequisite for all plans to go smoothly.

If you are too impatient, it will lead to all kinds of loopholes and problems.

This doesn't fit the entanglement glyph's code of stealth. "

"Unexpectedly, Shang Ge is still a patient person. Since this is the case, then I will stimulate him a little bit. Here, this is an overview of the creator's career. You take it to him and see what he will have Such a reaction."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the "bait" he had prepared for the Entanglement Talisman from his satchel.

Because he knew that when he was targeted by the entanglement symbol, most likely it was due to the powerful ability of the creator profession when he made his own magic items.

So whether it is Shangla or Lagong, after getting this notebook, I will find a way to study and try it.

Not to mention Faerun's unique spellcasting environment all over the magic net, whether it can really succeed as a creator.

Even if the opponent really succeeds, he will lose all spellcasting ability because of it.

After all, they don't need the planeswalker's land card, and they can separate some of their special professions, and then permanently bind them to another world, so as not to conflict with other spellcasting professions in the current world.

To put it simply, the purpose of Zuo Si is to use this notebook to "pit" the opponent.

It is naturally best to successfully abolish one or two lords of symbols.

Being unable to cancel can also take the opportunity to arouse the desire in the opponent's heart for the knowledge and power of magic in other worlds, so as to make some small movements frequently, so that you can take advantage of it.

"As you wish, master."

Lei Yin took the notes with both hands, and carefully put them into the magic pocket she carried with her.

After finishing the short conversation, the two walked down the intricate sewers one after the other.

After a while, I saw the clay golem guarding the gate of the secret base.

Judging from the newness of the clay on the golem, these were made very recently.

In other words, there are already sufficient guards in Irenicus' base.

The clay golem obviously recognized Lei Yin, so it turned around and informed its creator without saying a word.

About three to five minutes later, a man wrapped in some kind of colloidal black hood from his neck to the back of his head came out from the end of the passage where his hands and fingers could not be seen.

He looks very strong, with well-developed muscles that normal mages cannot match. At the same time, the exposed face is densely covered with raised veins from the forehead to around the eyes, extending back to the covered ears and the top of the head.

No need to ask, this is Joan Irenicus, a powerful spellcaster who is crazy enough to want to be a god.

The reason why he had to dress up like this was to cover up the tragedy of being deprived of his elf appearance and essence, especially the iconic pointed ears that had been cut off.

All that remains are two oval magic hearing aids made of brass.

And those raised veins on the face are proof that the body is aging at an unimaginable speed.

Maybe even this face was created by cloning magic and then forced on.

Beneath the false face was a face that was too old to describe in words.

Since it was the first time they met, Zuo Si and Irenicus looked at each other for a full minute, trying to figure out each other's spellcasting level and power.

In the end, Lei Yin was the first to speak and broke the silence.

"According to the agreement, I have brought the person here now. If you have any request or deal, you can propose it in person now."

"I'm glad you kept your promise."

Irenicus forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

For him, this is already a very friendly attitude.

Lei Yin also responded with a friendly smile, then stepped aside and said that she would not participate in the next conversation between the two.

But as long as Zuo Si gives an order, she, as a summoned creature, will turn into a powerful spellcaster to fight for her master in minutes.

Fortunately, Irenicus did not intend to do anything. Instead, like an elegant elf nobleman, he greeted in a very polite tone: "Good afternoon, voters of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease. Although we There may have been a little misunderstanding before, but the fact that you came here today shows that you didn't take it to heart. Isn't it?"

"Don't be too polite. I know who you are, just like you know who I am. Since you want to study divine power, please show some sincerity."

Zuo Si unceremoniously interrupted the other party's intention to get close.

Based on his understanding of Irenicus, it is even deeper than this man's understanding of himself.

Since being deprived of the elf identity and the essence of life by the elf queen Alison and exiled, Irenicus has actually completely become a "madman", which can also be called a "magic man".

In addition to avenging the elves of Suodanisla, all this guy did was to regain his lost elf identity, and then entered the kingdom of the elves and gods-Avand as a god.

As long as this can be done, Irenicus can sacrifice everything, give up everything, and even risk his life and even his soul being assimilated and degraded, and eventually become a part of the God of Slaughter Baal.

Although among the many powerful spellcasters in Faerun seeking to become a god, Irenicus is definitely not the one who is the most prepared and the closest to success, but it is definitely the craziest.

He has no morals, and there is no so-called bottom line.

Coupled with the powerful spellcasting ability and the rational thinking mode developed as a mage for a long time, he is simply a super dangerous element like Sammaster, the founder of the Dragon Cult.

After all, rational lunatics are more terrifying than those who are completely insane.

"Sincerity? What do you want from me?" Irenicus touched his chin and asked with interest.

"It's very simple! I want all the magical knowledge and skills you have at hand. Especially the part about the unique magic of elves and how to build a mythal."

Zuo Si set out the conditions straightforwardly.

Because he knew that the other party would never refuse.

As expected, after pondering for a moment, Irenicus immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes. But in exchange, you have to assist me in researching the mysteries of divine power until there is a result."

"No, no, no, you seem to have misunderstood something. I didn't say that I would allow you to use me as a research object, but would give you another target to study divine power." Zuo Si corrected meaningfully.

Let a madman study himself?

What a joke!

There are two sources of Planeswalker's power in his body - "Spark".

Once this thing is discovered and exposed, it will inevitably attract countless troubles and snoopers.

"Another target?"

Irenicus frowned subconsciously.

Obviously, this is completely different from what he thought.

Zuo Si was keenly aware of this, and explained in a flat tone: "Somewhere in the sewers of Askatra, there is a hidden passage leading to the ancient underground ruins. As far as I know, there is an ancient sun god there The temple of Amana Tower. Inside the temple, there is a saint whose power is extremely weak. I believe that with your understanding of the gods, you should understand the meaning of the saint, right?"

"Every saint is made of fragments of divine power!"

Irenicus didn't even think for a second before saying the correct answer.

After all, the turbulent years had just passed, when gods walked the world as saints, and many ambitious people who wanted to kill gods had collected information on this, and he was no exception.

"That's right! All saints contain at least a small fragment of divine power, which is usually far easier to deal with than battle incarnations. The most important thing is that Amaunata has fallen, so even if you imprison his saint No one cares about getting up to do research, or directly dissecting it on the dissecting table."

When saying these words, Zuo Si's tone reveals a naked and undisguised temptation.

Of course, he would not tell the other party that on the way to the Sun Temple, there is still a large group of beholders that need to be dealt with.

Moreover, among this group of beholders are the eyes of the elders, which are comparable to high-level spellcasters, and the leader of the group that is superior to the eyes of the elders—the blind eyes.

The latter is a powerful existence who blinded his main eye and gave up his anti-magic stance ability, and then became an eye magician by learning the power of arcane magic.

Combined with the beholder's innate talent for terrifying magic, it can be said that the blind eye's spellcasting ability has probably reached the "legendary" level, and it is definitely one of the most difficult enemies to deal with.

When Zuo Si had just completed the Mage Tower, he had already dispatched the Shadow Legion to investigate the huge and complex sewers in the capital of gold coins.

So know the location of these beholder lairs, and their ambitious plans to turn all humans into their worshipers.

In fact, a transaction like this that completely distrusts each other, and even regards the other party as a potential enemy, is a test of intelligence gathering ability and judgment.

Obviously, Irenicus, who has just arrived, has no advantage at all.

After lowering his head and thinking for about two or three minutes, he asked in an uncertain tone, "How do you plan to make this transaction?"

"Naturally, it is a face-to-face transaction. You give me the corresponding books and notes, and I will give you the specific location. Through divination magic, it should be easy to lock the location of the temple." Zuo Si calmly gave a solution .

"Sounds like it's not bad. But it may take a little time to write books including magic locks. I think it's a good choice to trade after two weeks."

You don't need to ask, Irenicus is obviously delaying time on purpose, and wants to find the location of the temple by his own strength.

After all, through the conversation just now, he has collected enough information.

It is completely possible to use the eight-ring prophecy magic [perception location] to detect the temple of Amana Tower hidden in the sewer.

But Zuo Si didn't panic at all, she nodded with a smile and agreed: "No problem. After you have copied all the knowledge and spells, you can contact me through Lei Yin at any time."

"I will."

There was a sly gleam in Irenicus' eyes.

In this way, the first meeting and mutual exploration of the two finally came to an end.

When he returned to the entrance of the sewer, Lei Yin couldn't help but asked immediately: "Master, why did you disclose so much information just now? With his spellcasting level and ability, he will definitely try to find it by himself with prophecy magic."

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Irenicus can just find it.

If I can find it, I lose.

The saint is a special life form composed of divine power, and any prophecy magic has no effect on it.

As for that temple, it not only enshrines a powerful artifact that has been sealed, but its existence itself has long been cursed with a strong hatred.

Even using the most powerful Nine Rings【Wishing Art】, it is impossible to get any useful information.

not to mention……

Irenicus himself is not the only one interested in that temple. "

"So that's it! It seems that I was worrying too much. If you don't have any other orders, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, Lei Yin put one hand on her chest and bowed, then put on her hood and walked out of the sewer entrance, disappearing among the endless crowd in Woking shopping mall.

Just when Zuo Si was about to return to the Mage Tower, he suddenly saw a familiar figure waving to him.

"Zeranora?"

Zuo Si recognized the other party's identity at a glance, and at the same time was puzzled by the appearance of this moon elf who had just climbed up to the top position of the masked mage at the market.

Because the Masked Mage Guild has almost monopolized the arcane magic resources of the entire Amn.

Normally, the "contraband" items sold in the adventurer's market are definitely far inferior to the guild's internal supply channels in terms of quantity and quality.

However, considering the pleasant cooperative relationship between the two before, Zuo Si still stepped forward to follow.

After a while, he left the bustling shopping mall and walked to a relatively secluded alley.

After confirming that there were no people or creatures around, Sean VII stopped, stared at Zuo Si with a slightly strange look, and said meaningfully: "Should I first congratulate you for successfully controlling Amn?" The second largest spellcasting organization—the Emerald Association?"

"Ok?!"

Zuo Si, who was a little careless one second, suddenly became sharp and dangerous in the next second.

But before he had time to ask, Sean VII raised his hand and smiled to stop him: "Okay, don't be nervous, I was just joking.

In fact, I don't have any objections to your control of the Emerald Society.

Just the opposite!

I can even help you cover up and absorb the entire Emerald Association bit by bit, turning it into a semi-independent force that is ostensibly the Masked Mage Guild.

Of course, this depends on your personal wishes. "

"How did you know this? Also, why did you help me?" Zuo Si asked with a puzzled look.

"When you slaughtered those high-level officials of the Emerald Association, one of my subordinates happened to be there and witnessed how you turned their high-level officials into your servants, even including the most outstanding disciple of Lord of Symbols Shangra, Rhine. As for why I want to help you, of course it is to work together to deal with the entanglement symbol."

Sean VII did not hide anything, and expressed his intentions openly.

With a deep understanding of magic beyond ordinary people, he can easily see how many powerful magic spells are blessed on Zuo Si, who is a chosen one.

In front of such a person, lying and cheating are the most stupid behaviors, not one of them.

"To deal with the entanglement symbol together?" Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, followed by a very surprised expression. "The reason? I don't remember any grievances between the masked mage and the entanglement symbol."

Sean VII shook his head slightly: "No, you are wrong. In fact, the battle between us and the entanglement symbol started when they started to infiltrate Amn.

In fact, there is a secret stronghold of the Lord of Runes in Askatla, and they have also successfully controlled several noble chambers of commerce with certain wealth and power.

If you are interested in this, I can make a copy for you later.

At that time, you will know how powerful the secret infiltration ability of the entanglement symbol is. "

"How to cooperate specifically?" Zuo Si continued to probe quietly.

Obviously, he didn't believe a single word of the reason given by Zelanora just now.

But considering that he can attract a foreign aid to deal with the entanglement symbol with him, the truth is actually not that important anymore.

Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future to investigate the other party's true identity and intentions little by little.

Seeing that Zuo Si agreed to his alliance request, Sean VII suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and said to himself: "The first is information sharing.

I need you to provide as detailed a list as possible of the Lord of Runes, abilities, personalities, hobbies, lair locations, and other information.

Secondly, I wish to know which important families they control in the Calimshan region.

In return, I will choose to gather strength at the right time and launch a surprise attack on certain rune masters. "

Hearing these words, Zuo Si immediately put on a look of disdain and sneered, "Gathering strength? Sorry, I don't think the Masked Mage Guild is qualified to head-to-head with the Entangling Talisman."

"Of course the strength of the Masked Mage Guild alone is not enough. But don't worry, I still have enough backup. What's more, let those idiots at the top of the Masked Mage Guild die, and then let us carve up this organization, isn't it? Okay?" Sean VII asked with a half-smile.

"Good is good. But the problem is, I have to know who I'm working with, right?"

Zuo Si kept collecting suspicious signs from the moon elf in front of him through the "Eye of Knowledge".

But unfortunately, except for some relatively advanced magic constants and a large number of magic items, no valuable information can be found at all.

Because the opponent neither used any transformation magic, nor was it an undead creature or strange monster.

"Believe me, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

And my hostility towards the entanglement symbol is not fake at all, you should know this best.

Oh, almost forgot.

Since it's a cooperation, I, the one who takes advantage, always have to pay something.

Here is a "Book of Sandstorm", which records many spells suitable for use in the desert environment. If you are interested, you can read it. "

With the last word blurted out, Sean VII stuffed a book with a black cover into Zuo Si's hands, and then disappeared without a trace with the magic teleportation ring exclusive to the high-level enlightenment mages.
