One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization
Chapter 247 The Attitude Of Waterdeep City
Chapter 247 The Attitude of Waterdeep City
Jingle!
Accompanied by the sound of metal weapons colliding, in the training room on the lower level of the mage tower, the dwarf berserk warrior Korgan was exchanging ideas with the tabby hunter Abala.
Because both sides have quite high professional level.
Therefore, whether it is strength, speed, or skill and experience, they are all displayed vividly in the battle.
Sometimes the relationship between two people swinging their weapons too fast will even produce visual afterimages in the air.
The former's fighting style is obviously very wild, and he often abandons defense and pursues injuries in exchange for lives. As a result, many opponents will be frightened by his desperate posture, and the more timid and hesitant he is, the faster he will die.
According to the half-orc Reiter's description, Korgan's highest record was to charge into the goblin horde desperately and violently, killing more than 30 hobgoblins and hundreds of ordinary goblins by himself alone.
When the battle was over, the whole person seemed to be bathed in blood, and the armor was covered with plasma, minced meat, internal organs and intestines.
Many poor guys were chopped alive by the sharp magic axes and turned into corpses of different sizes.
Abala's fighting style is just the opposite. He likes to find the opponent's loopholes in the defense process, and if he doesn't make a move, he will be killed in one blow.
So it is the kind of calm hunter, with two sharp eyes watching every move of the opponent all the time, just like a big cat chasing its prey.
In addition, the weapon is a metal armguard and gauntlet with pure gold added, so the speed of swinging the arm is obviously a little faster than that of Korgan, and it does not suffer a disadvantage in a frontal confrontation.
Especially the sharp metal claws at the front can even tear apart most of the non-magic metal armor as easily as opening a can.
Once close, it is definitely one of the most dangerous enemies.
The wolf coyotes nearby were obviously seeing this kind of high-level fighter competition for the first time, so they all stared wide-eyed and wanted to learn from it to increase their fighting ability.
Among them, the fighting style of Abala the tabby cat is basically no different from their half-human and half-beast form, and it is simply the most ideal learning object.
As the leader of the clan, the werewolf girl Fan Gesi secretly made gestures to herself from time to time, and her pupils shone with excitement.
"Where did you find him? I've never heard of such a race in Faerun." The half-orc Rhett asked in a low voice.
Zuo Si rubbed his chin and replied: "Because Abala is not a native race of the Faerun continent. However, I am a little surprised that his martial arts skills have reached such a level. How about it, what do you think of it?"
"A very good fighter. If I'm not mistaken, it should be very good at using throwing weapons, right?" Rhett quickly gave his evaluation.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Well, yes. Abala is a hunter, so he is also very good at throwing javelins or spears. I built it a weapon that can automatically return to the owner's hand The magic javelin, so that you can take into account both long-range and melee combat."
"Sounds really good. It reminds me of Korgan's throwing axe. There was once an unlucky goblin shaman who was killed by his throwing axe on the head." Reiter said with a smile.
While the two were talking, the discussion between the dwarves and the tabby people finally came to an end.
Korgan's ax was resting on Abra's neck, and Abra's claws were on the dwarf's defenseless throat.
Only a second later, the former was the first to retract the ax and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahaha! It's so enjoyable! Old Korgan likes you, big cat."
"thanks……"
The tabby replied in a slightly blunt Common Tongue.
You don't need to ask to know that it is blessed with the art of smooth speech at the moment, otherwise it would not understand what the other party is saying.
"How do you feel? Are the armguards and gloves easy to use?" Zuo Si asked with great interest.
"Excellent. It fits like a perfect fit on the palm of my hand. Not only does it add protection, but it also makes the claws sharper. If it was in the tribe I live in, such a weapon alone would make the best hunters Allegiance." Abala praised without hesitation.
Hearing what the tabby man said, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied expression: "As long as you like it. Next, I'm going to the Northland. Does anyone want to sign up?"
"Me! Master, I am already a fighter and ranger with a professional level, and I will definitely be able to help you on your journey." Fangers jumped out first.
Zuo Si didn't give an answer right away, but turned his attention to the half-orc Reiter, the dwarf Korgan, and the half-man, half-scorpion Mural who usually trained these little werewolves in combat.
In the end, Mural was the first to speak: "Master, Fangers is indeed a qualified fighter and ranger. Coupled with the bonus of physical fitness after the werewolf transformation, most adventurers with low professional levels are really good." She is not her opponent. If your trip is not particularly dangerous, bringing her to increase your experience and experience is definitely much better than staying in the tower all day."
"Okay, then I'll take you with me. But first, you have to stay in Waterdeep City alone for a few days. I have some things to go to the depths of Lost Leyline City." Zuo Si said, staring into the eyes of the werewolf girl.
"No problem! I promise to obey your orders 100 percent."
Fang Gesi clenched his fists tightly, and he was about to jump up with joy.
After all, as a werewolf, her nature prefers to run in open forests and fields to chase prey.
Although it was safe to stay in the mage tower and the city, and the food and accommodation conditions were guaranteed, the blood of adventure was always running in the girl's veins, as if a voice was always calling in her mind.
"Go and prepare. Take all the weapons and equipment, and we will set off in ten minutes."
Zuo Si smiled and flicked the werewolf girl's forehead lightly.
"Obey!"
Fang Gesi's body expanded rapidly, with thick hair growing from the surface of the skin, and soon turned into a half-human half-wolf appearance. He raised his hair and let out a piercing howl, followed by walking towards his room at the fastest speed rush away.
No need to ask, she knew that her transformation this time was entirely due to her excessive mental state.
"What... what's going on here?"
The tabby man's eyes widened in shock.
It was obviously the first time it had seen a werewolf, or a person infected with lycanthropy, so it didn't understand why a human would suddenly take on the form of a wolf.
"Relax, big cat. Those little guys are all werewolves, a special race that can freely switch between wolf, half-human half-wolf and human forms. They are not like you, they are still human in essence, but they are cursed. , of course it can also be said to be a blessing." Old Kogan explained in a low voice.
Although he himself is chaotic evil, he is both bloodthirsty and brutal, but he is quite friendly and respectful to those powerful fighters.
In particular, most of the tabby people are in the neutral camp, and they don't have any obvious concepts of good and evil, and they are not as prone to violent conflicts of ideas as the good camp.
"A werewolf?"
Abala repeated the word side, a look of interest on the fluffy cat's face.
As a very curious race, once he becomes interested in something, he can't help but want to find out what's going on.
But Zuo Si didn't care about Abala's reaction, but continued to ask several other subordinates: "How about you? Is there anyone else who wants to join me?"
"Me, me, me!"
Pyromancer Alena eagerly shouted to sign up.
Seeing this troublemaker being so active, Zuo Si couldn't help but twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, and asked with a serious expression: "Are you sure? You must know that traveling with me requires abstinence from alcohol."
"No problem. I swear that I will never touch an alcoholic drink until I get to a safe place." Alena swore a promise.
Of course, as a member of the chaotic camp, the credibility of her words is subject to a big question mark.
Because maybe the current statement may be from the heart, but it will definitely regret it before long.
"Count me in."
The half-orc Rhett hesitated for a moment and chose to join.
After all, Ruanrouxiang is the grave of a warrior. He still wants to improve his fighting skills and professional level as much as possible while he is young and his body has not started to decline.
And warriors are not like mages, as long as they stay in the tower and do research, they can improve their perception of the magic net, gain higher spellcasting levels and master more spells.
There is only one way for them to improve their strength, and that is to fight non-stop and fight desperately with powerful enemies or monsters.
Seeing that the two drinking buddies and adventure partners had joined, the dwarf berserker said without hesitation: "Take me too. Old Korgan's ax will help you chop up all enemies who dare to stand in our way. "
"Since that's the case, then the team has been decided. You should go back and prepare quickly, and then we will directly teleport to Waterdeep City."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Si walked straight towards the teleportation room.
Abala, who didn't need to prepare anything at all, followed behind, looking around at the weird creatures, constructs, and magic devices around her.
Since it lived completely in the primitive tropical rainforest before, things like magic are quite strange and inconceivable to it.
Occasionally, he would be taken aback by the mephit that suddenly appeared beside him.
But soon the tabby man discovered that these little ones had no malicious intentions, they were just playing a prank to make fun of themselves, so they couldn't help laughing.
About ten minutes, when everyone arrived at the teleportation room, Zuo Si immediately activated the portal and sent everyone to the basement of his house in Waterdeep City.
After simply greeting the butler and leaving some money for daily expenses, he immediately went to the Black Rod Tower alone to visit Kelben.
About half an hour later, the two sat in the reception room and chatted while drinking tea.
"I heard that half a year ago, near the forest not far from Silvermoon City in the Northland, you used some spiked iron balls that could automatically rotate and track, causing a lot of casualties to the orc army, which directly caused them not to be killed. They were forced to disband on the spot before launching an attack?"
Kelben mentioned this matter with great interest.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Well, that's right. I was testing a new magic weapon at the time, and happened to encounter an army of orcs planning to attack Silvermoon City, so I used it as a waste."
"Can you show me those iron balls that have been blessed with magic?" Kelben was obviously very curious about this.
Because nothing like it or magic has yet appeared in Faerûn.
"No problem, please wait a moment."
Zuo Si quickly reached into the satchel, took out one from the box specially used to hold iron balls, and made it float quietly in mid-air.
As a voter of the goddess of magic, Kyle could have easily seen the arcane aura flashing on the iron ball through his eyes. After a short observation, he immediately exclaimed: "It's incredible. This is what you brought from another world. Is it the magic that came back? Surprisingly, with such a small amount of magic power, such a heavy iron ball can achieve the effect of floating in the air and even flying at high speed."
"Interesting, right?
Best of all, it lasts a long time after a single cast, and it's very, very cheap.
Maybe it won't be of much use in the battle of high-level mages, but a wall of force can easily intercept it.
But it is perfect for dealing with ordinary troops and soldiers who don't understand magic.
Even legendary fighters cannot survive a head-on encounter unscathed. "
Zuo Si introduces the merits of these "Holy Balls of Physics" without any reservations.
Because this thing was not originally used to deal with the caster, so it doesn't matter if the other party knows it.
If someone tries to control these iron balls through spells or magical spells, he will immediately release the confusion spell to make the iron balls fall into a frenzied and uncontrollable state, and make indiscriminate impacts regardless of whether they are friends or foes.
Kelben nodded approvingly and commented: "This kind of magic weapon is indeed very suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies and monsters who don't understand magic. And I also noticed that you have given them constant shrinkage and Repairing spells, no matter how much deformation these iron balls produce after violent impact, they can quickly restore to their original state in a short period of time."
"Yes. The shrinking technique can make the iron ball more convenient to carry, and it can also instantly enlarge and shrink to make it difficult for the enemy to guard against. As for the repairing spells, it is to prevent those spikes and blades from colliding with hard rocks and deforming and breaking .With such weapons, the barbaric, brutal, bloodthirsty orcs will no longer be able to threaten the civilized world."
When saying these words, Zuo Si did not hide her dislike for the race of orcs at all.
Because these green-skinned monsters who only know how to destroy and plunder, but never produce and create, have no meaning or value in his eyes.
Kelben was keenly aware of this, and immediately reminded: "I agree with your views on the orcs, but if you want to massacre the orcs, it is better to be a little more cautious.
Because the orc gods are not weak.
In fact, the unscrupulous massacre of the orc army this time has already angered the leaders of many large orc tribes in the Northland.
Not only did they send the most powerful fighters and hunters to kill you, but they also jointly offered a huge reward.
Now there are many bounty hunters and speculators watching, ready to use your head for bounty. "
"Oh? It sounds very interesting. Can you tell me which orc tribes are offering rewards for me? It would be even better if there is a specific scope of their activities."
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a chilling smile.
For those enemies who want to kill him, he has always had only one way of responding, and that is to ruthlessly kill them all.
"Regarding this, I think those bounty hunters, orc warriors, and hunters should come to you with answers soon." Kelben said with a hint of joking in his tone.
After all, it is no secret that Zuo Si has a strong sense of revenge among the electors of the Goddess of Magic.
What's more, reducing the number of orcs in the Northland is also completely in line with the interests of a series of important towns in the Northland, including Waterdeep City, Silvermoon City, Neverwinter City, and Chang'an Town.
Every once in a while, the Alliance of Lords will come forward to hire adventurers or form a coalition army to wipe out the soaring number of orcs around them, and even churches of many gods will join them.
This is also the reason why the orcs have a very powerful god system behind them, but they are always marginalized and unpopular on the continent of Faerun.
Because in this world, the most powerful human gods suppress the gods believed by the orcs, so the orcs can only live in the harsh forests and wastelands.
If there is any orc god who dares to lower his avatar to try to change the existing pattern, then what awaits him will be a gang fight from medium and strong gods.
Whether it is Tyr, the God of Justice, Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, Irmat, the God of Suffering, Tom, the Loyalty and Courage, Lathander, the Lord of Dawn, or Oghma, the God of Knowledge, Neutral gods like Heim, the God of Guardians, and Tempus, the God of War, will lower the dog heads of the battle incarnations and hammer the orc gods every minute.
Because the actions of the orcs seriously conflict with the teachings and ideas of these gods.
Especially the orc pantheon also has its own god of war.
If they rise up and threaten human dominance, it will inevitably cause Tempus' influence to plummet.
So every time there is a large-scale invasion of orcs, Tempus, his church and believers will definitely actively participate.
Not to mention that the elf gods also have a deep hatred with the orc gods.
Among them, the eyes of the orc god Gruumsh were blinded by the elf god Corellon during the battle.
When elves and orcs meet in the wild, there is a 90% probability that they will fight to the death without even saying a word of nonsense.
It is precisely because the orcs and the pantheons behind them have so many enemies that Zuo Si dared to slaughter them so recklessly without worrying about retaliation.
As long as the incarnation of the gods does not come, even if the chosen ones of the orc god Gruumsh come, he is absolutely confident that he can kill the opponent.
In this way, Zuo Si and Kelben had a brief chat about the situation in the Northland and those evil monsters that could not be killed no matter how hard they tried. What do you think of Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood?"
"Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood?"
Kelben was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something, touched the beard on his chin and asked tentatively: "You don't mean to do something to them, do you?"
"If, notice what I said, if there is a force that defeats the pirates of Luskan in a naval battle, and then attacks and occupies this city, will Waterdeep City intervene?"
Zuo Si chose the tip card with little to no pretense.
Among the many city-states in the Northland, Waterdeep City is undoubtedly the most powerful one.
Therefore, he needs to figure out Waterdeep City's attitude towards this matter before he can decide how far the war will go.
As a voter of the goddess of magic who is only a little younger than Elminster, Kelben has a very close cooperation with the Harper Alliance, and knows that the Nelanther Islands, which have only recently risen, are the work of this young man in front of him.
At the beginning, some high-level Harpers were still worried that those pirates would intensify after being integrated and become a nightmare for all merchant ships on the entire west coast.
However, it was later discovered that under the control of Zuo Si, instead of continuing to plunder merchant ships, the pirates of the Neilansir Islands quickly established a stable ruling structure.
And in the chaotic sea where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong, an unprecedented order has been established.
As long as they pay a certain share of protection fees, merchants can do business with peace of mind, without worrying about being robbed at all.
Even the pirates from Luskan and the Whale Islands in the north wanted to make a fortune, but they were beaten back mercilessly.
All pirates who surrendered and were captured, the captain and the backbone were often executed in public, while those ordinary pirates would be thrown into quarries, mines and other places to serve hard labor.
Gradually, most Harpers let go of their initial vigilance towards this new force, and only established an intelligence-gathering stronghold in the main port city.
Although the large-scale use of the undead as labor has sparked some heated debates, Kelben is generally quite happy with Zuo Si's actions.
Because he thinks order is more important than justice and kindness.
Only by maintaining the most basic order can life and property be guaranteed, and ordinary people can work hard and support themselves and their families.
What's more, the life of the civilians on the Neilanser Islands is not bad, and they have not suffered too severe exploitation and oppression.
After all, the most dangerous and arduous work is done by the undead and hard labor who committed serious crimes.
As for those churches that are extremely disgusted with undead creatures...
Since they have nothing to do with the red-robed wizards of Serre, they naturally have nothing to do with Nelancer Islands.
Sensing that Zuo Si might attack Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood, Kelben's first thought was that Luskan's army captured Lotham Island not long ago.
It's just that due to the pressure of the Northland Lords Alliance, they finally had to spit out the meat that was on their lips.
No way, maybe bullying Wortham Island and Neverwinter with the power of Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood is not a big problem.
But in the face of city-states like Waterdeep City and Silvermoon City that have a large number of high-level mages and even legendary mages and voters, they basically have to bow their heads and admit their cowardice.
So Waterdeep City is far from Neverwinter City, hoping that someone will quickly eradicate Luskan, this evil neighbor.
Kelben said after bowing his head and thinking for a few minutes: "I personally don't mind Luskan changing a ruler.
But the problem is, not all the lords in Waterdeep City agree with me.
So I can't give you any guarantees, I can only say that the chances of Waterdeep City intervening will not be great.
You should be more worried than this about the Zhentarim, which works closely with the Arcane Brotherhood. "
"The Zhentarim cooperates with the Arcane Brotherhood?"
This news made Zuo Si subconsciously frown.
Although this vast network of dark intelligence is currently split, with Cyric's followers and Bane's followers busy vying for dominance, its strength should not be underestimated.
Especially the mage leader Mansong and the church leader and voter Fu Zor Chamberui are not easy to deal with.
"Yes. As far as I know, they have shared information about each other for a long time. In addition, they also have some business contacts with the red-robed wizard."
Kelben told everything he knew about Luskan in one breath.
After all, both of them are now voters of the Goddess of Magic, and the target of the attack is evil. It is only normal to provide some information help.
"Unexpectedly, the water of the Arcane Brotherhood is quite deep. But it doesn't matter. Whether it is the Zhentarim or the red robe wizard, as long as they dare to intervene, I will make them regret their recklessness."
Obviously, Zuo Si didn't take these two famous evil organizations on Faerun continent to heart.
Because the Northland has never been the traditional sphere of influence of the red-robed wizards, their influence here is very small, and they don't have the guts to do things under the noses of the electors of the goddess of magic.
As for the Zhentarim Club, as long as you find a time for Yue Mansong or Xi Manmeng to come out to talk and reach some unknown secret deals, the other party should choose to stand by and watch.
You must know that for these followers of Bane, the most important thing at this stage has always been to fight against the erosion of the Church of Cyric, and prevent the Zhentarim and Zhentil Castle from falling into the hands of the latter.
Even many outsiders can feel the tense atmosphere on both sides.
"Since you have your own plan, I won't say anything more. Remember, you are now the chosen one of the goddess. You don't have to rely on yourself like before. If you are in danger, you can come to me at any time. Me and I His wife, Laila, will be more than happy to help." Kyle urged earnestly.
Due to Zuo Si's criminal record, he was very worried that the young man in front of him would do some crazy actions when he was in danger, such as unreservedly releasing those terrible poisons and plagues in his body.
"Thank you very much. If there is a need, I will. Besides, is there anything else that needs attention?" Zuo Si asked very humbly.
"Actually, I think the most important thing you should seek is the support of Neverwinter. After all, they are at the forefront of fighting against Luskan, and suffer from harassment by pirates." Kelben gave a suggestion without thinking.
"Understood. I will go to Neverwinter City later and have a conversation with Lord Nasir. I hope he will be as wise as the rumors say, and can understand the consequences of eliminating the Arcane Brotherhood and transforming Luskan the benefits of."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Si got up, said goodbye and left the Black Rod Tower.
Standing on the top of the tower and watching his receding back, Kelben suddenly asked without turning his head: "What do you think Sous wants to do? He first integrated the pirates of the Nelanther Islands, followed by It expanded northward to the Colin Islands, then indirectly controlled Baldur's Gate through a naval battle, and now it is targeting Luskan."
"Hmm... I think he wants to monopolize the maritime trade to earn a lot of money. According to the reports of the Harper spies, he has recently been buying all kinds of magic materials at high prices like crazy, and the minimum value is conservatively estimated. Millions of gold coins." Laila slowly walked out of the shadows and guessed in an uncertain tone.
"Purchase magic materials of millions of gold coins? Is Sous starting to study legendary spells?" Kelben was obviously taken aback.
"You ask me? How could I know."
Laila shook her head with a wry smile.
"This young man is very wary of everything around him in his bones, and he will not easily confide his thoughts to anyone.
However, his arcane spellcasting level is indeed quite high, and he is only one step away from becoming a legendary mage.
It seems to make sense if it is to prepare for the study of legendary magic.
Don't forget, the goddess gave him ten Netheril scrolls. "
"Not to mention this, I have forgotten.
If he reads all ten scrolls, there will be an astonishing improvement in the principles of magic, especially spell recognition.
If coupled with a large amount of magical knowledge from other worlds, as an enemy, he is already a pretty formidable opponent. "
Kelben analyzed seriously.
Lila smiled and agreed, "That's right. Soth is already a very powerful and dangerous top spellcaster.
In particular, he has a variety of means, many of which have never appeared in Faerun Continent.
This can often have an unexpected effect in a spell duel.
Even if Mansong or Sazastan came, they didn't necessarily get any bargains. "
"It's a terrifying growth rate. It's exactly the same as Carl Sass, the great genius arcanist who led to the demise of Netheril civilization." Kelben sighed slightly. "By the way, aren't you going to represent the goddess to go to Harua, the country of mages at the southernmost tip of the mainland? How are your preparations?"
"It's almost there. I have learned and transcribed all the new spells bestowed on me by the goddess recently. When the time comes, I just need to hand them over to the local church and meet the elders, and I should be able to easily complete the mission."
Speaking of this, Laila deliberately paused, raised the unique staff in her hand and shook it gently in front of her husband.
"this is……"
Kelben instantly noticed the difference in this staff.
"This is the magic technique brought back by Soth from another world. This staff can not only reduce the consumption of magic power when casting spells, but also allow me to create several more spell slots out of thin air, and at the same time shorten the time by about one-third. Casting speed. How about it, doesn't it sound amazing?"
Saying that, Laila handed over the staff in her hand.
Kelben hurriedly took it over and inspected it carefully, and found that the wood used to make this staff was very special, and some materials with powerful magical powers such as dragon tendons were mixed in the middle.
When the holder starts to cast a spell, the entire staff will strengthen the connection with the magic net in a unique way, so as to achieve the effect of saving magic power and speeding up the casting speed.
After figuring this out, he couldn't help asking immediately, "Are these technologies brought back by Sous from another world?"
Lila nodded without hesitation: "Yes. Not only is the new technology for making staffs, but also a large number of new magics that have been transformed, many of which are low-level spells that can provide convenience for daily life. "
In order to give her husband a clear idea, over the next few minutes, Leila performed a number of spells including cooking, cleaning and restoration.
As a result, this kind of magic that is close to life and has no lethality at all immediately aroused Kelben's strong curiosity.
The husband and wife spent the next few days studying these interesting life magics, and began to imagine how peaceful and comfortable the world could be inventing such magics.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zuo Si.
After leaving the Black Rod Tower, he immediately led the team to the most notorious Skull Harbor in Waterdeep City.
It is notorious because it is clearly under the eyes of Waterdeep City, but it is completely ruled by a group of evil humans and monsters.
Not only did they not abide by the laws of Waterdeep City, but they also bought and sold slaves recklessly, and conflicts and murders were commonplace.
In Skull Harbor, order is something that doesn't exist.
The only thing that can keep the visitor alive is the ability to make other people or monsters afraid.
As for the dark elves, mind flayers, beholders, and gray dwarves, which are very rare on the surface, they are almost flooded here.
Some evil mages living in Waterdeep City would even visit here from time to time to buy some special raw materials, such as the corpses of various creatures or slaves, and bring them back for necromancy magic experiments.
"Damn it! This place gives me the chills."
Seeing a beholder and the slave it controlled just passing by him, the half-orc Rhett couldn't help shivering.
You must know that the moment the other party looked over, he almost swung his ax and chopped it up.
no way!
As a barbarian who is very sensitive to malice, it is inevitable to be nervous in such a hostile place.
In contrast, old Korgan didn't care about this at all, curled his lips and laughed and said: "Relax, buddy. It's not us who should be really nervous, but them. I can guarantee that if conflicts and conflicts really break out Fight, the hidden harbor will be bloodied in a matter of minutes."
"That's right! I'll burn everything up with fire magic."
Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Alaina suddenly released a ball of crimson flames from her palm, immediately raising the alert of many people around.
"Enough! Be honest with me, all of you. We are not here to cause trouble, but to reach the deepest part of the Lost Leyline City as soon as possible."
Zuo Si glared at the pyromancer angrily.
Because he knew that most of the reason why Skull Harbor existed for such a long time was the acquiescence of Helast Black Robe.
Otherwise, the mad mage can completely cut off the passage between here and the bottom layer by changing the structure and terrain of the Leyline Lost City at any time.
As for the lords of Waterdeep City, they didn't do anything because they didn't want to provoke Helast Heipao.
In short, the existence of Skull Harbor is the product of a series of delicate balances and compromises.
But Zuo Si doesn't care who the real owner of Skull Harbor is, nor is he interested in the residents of the underground world and the Thieves Guild.
After paying 300 gold coins, he got a small wooden boat that could float in the underground river, and a map that was so simple that it only had a few lines.
The above marks how to pass the waterway and directly jump over the first few floors of the Leyline Lost City.
Soon, under the leadership of Zuo Si, a group of people boarded the boat and slowly moved deeper along the underground river.
This time, instead of taking the same route as last time, he went in a big circle and directly chose to go ashore on the fifth floor.
Since he still firmly remembered the path he had traveled before, the team arrived at the crystal labyrinth on the sixteenth floor with almost no effort under his leadership.
The monsters and enemies encountered along the way were basically either torn to pieces by a few powerful warriors, or turned into pale corpses stripped of life by the green light shot out by the waving wand.
Obviously, Zuo Si is deliberately using these monsters to practice and become familiar with the Killing Curse, and by the way, testing the magic resistance may weaken it.
When he arrived at the entrance of the sixteenth floor, Erron, who had already been notified, appeared immediately, and bowed deeply with one hand on his chest: "Master, I have arranged everything according to your instructions. Now, as long as With your order, I can immediately use the alchemy potion to put all the githyankis in the entire star port into a coma, even those red dragons."
"How many people are there in the star port right now?" Zuo Si asked casually.
"Not counting the hatching eggs, there are still those underage cubs. There are only about thirty of them. Four of them are mages, two of them are psions, and the rest are basically either warriors or psychic warriors." Elrond 1510 reports.
"What about the magic ship?" Zuo Si continued to ask.
"There is only one, and it is currently docked at the berth of the port. However, the captain is a bit difficult to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with him."
While saying this, Erron showed a troubled expression.
Because in the society of the Githyanki, the captain of the magic ship has a higher rank than the commander of the outpost in front of the material plane, so he has no way to give orders to the other party.
"In this case, let's do it. Remember to give a higher dose of medicine. I don't want any battle to break out and expose the entire plan. As for the captain, I will take care of him personally."
Following Zuo Si's order, Erron immediately took advantage of his position as the supreme commander in the star port to poison everyone "fairly and honestly".
In less than an hour, the entire hollowed-out asteroid was filled with githyanki in a coma, along with their red dragon allies.
As for Zuo Si, he led people directly into the magic ship docked in the star port, stunned everyone including the captain, and made them into summoned creature cards.
After everything settled down, except for the underage children, all the other githyanki became members of the inner ghost and were assigned to Erron's subordinates for dispatch.
At this point, the entire Xingport has completely fallen into the hands of Zuo Si.
After controlling the star port, the first thing he did was to dismantle the magic ship into parts and figure out the magic knowledge and principles contained in it.
You must know that the general material plane creatures want to enter the astral world, and the magic usually used is astral projection.
Simply put, it is to leave the physical body in the material world, and let the conscious mind and soul enter the astral world to explore and travel.
The Githyanki are different.
They use magic ships to travel between the material plane and the astral world directly with their spirit, body and soul.
This also means that the magic ship must have some special powers, which can ensure that even warriors who don't understand magic can do this.
In addition, the power system of the magic ship is also very interesting and can be used in many other places.
After figuring out all this and initially mastering the full set of manufacturing technology of the magic ship, Zuo Si reluctantly reassembled the whole ship by himself and returned it to the captain who has become his own.
"Master, what do you need us to do next?" Erron asked cautiously.
"It's very simple. Instill free thoughts in those children, let them understand how evil and abhorrent their own group is. I have a pamphlet here, and you can follow the above method to turn all the children who grow up in this base into Let it become the kindling that overthrows the existing system.”
With that said, Zuo Si handed over a thin notebook that had been prepared in advance.
"As you wish."
Erron rolled his eyes when he took it, and immediately agreed without thinking.
Although he is a githyanki himself, he is hardly loyal to his kind.
Otherwise, they would not have tried to collude with foreign enemies to seize power.
As for the others, their memories were greatly modified after they became summoned creatures, completely forgetting the training and brainwashing they received as a child.
There is only one purpose in life, and that is to serve Zuo Si who is a planeswalker.
