A Sneeze Destroyed an Entire Magical Civilization

"According to modern Earth medical research, a healthy human body carries at least 140,000 types of viruses, not to mention even more bacteria.

Now, imagine such a person transmigrating t...

Chapter 181 Agreement (10,000 words long chapter, please subscribe)

Killing his former mentor, the great necromancer Asta, who was in an extremely weak state, was equivalent to a transformation from thought to spirit for Zuo Si.

It is also a farewell to the weak self in the past who was overshadowed by the other party.

Especially when the life box was broken, he suddenly realized that what he obtained was not only Asta's property, but also inherited some of the other party's characteristics.

For example, being cold, cruel and ruthless in dealing with the enemy;

For example, when you cannot get what you want through normal means, the first thought that comes to your mind is robbery.

Obviously, these terrible habits cannot be developed in the relatively peaceful environment of modern society on Earth.

Rather, he was forced to make changes by the Necromancer in order to survive in the floating city's tower.

As the saying goes, unless you are in an extremely dangerous environment, you will never know what the other side hidden in your heart is like.

After getting the residue that Asta called "Chaos Factor", Zuo Si returned to his residence and immediately took a small amount of it to experiment on the large hound raised by Bernard's family.

As a result, in just less than ten seconds, this dog, which was only one meter tall, muscular, ferocious and extremely loyal to its owner, turned into an unknown creature whose size and height were comparable to that of an adult "mastodon".

In particular, the originally soft and beautiful black hair had all fallen out, and was replaced by the hard stratum corneum that grew on the surface of the skin.

The two eyes became extremely hard, like gems embedded in the eye sockets, able to emit a magical ray.

Anyone who is hit will instantly see the most terrifying image in his or her deepest heart, and then run around like a madman and scream loudly.

In addition, the huge mouth full of sharp teeth, the claws as hard and sharp as a dragon, and the tail that can attack the enemy autonomously like a snake and inject deadly toxins due to an unknown mutation. It looks like an ultimate stitched monster no matter how you look at it.

Fortunately, Zuo Si had arranged preventive measures in advance.

If there was no magical object controlling its mind, it would have gone crazy and might have eaten the servant who was responsible for training and feeding it.

Looking at the huge beast standing in the kennel in the backyard, even Wilmes, a red dragon, couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart. He asked in an unbelievable tone: "You...what did you do to this dog?"

"I didn't do anything. I just let it absorb a tiny amount of insignificant matter. It seems that Asta is right. This chaos factor can cause random mutations in anything."

Zuo Si stared at the transparent bottle in his hand that was emitting dark purple light, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Apparently, the fog that caused his body to age backwards, and the unknown space he first arrived at after the spark was ignited, were more mysterious and full of countless mysteries than expected.

Apart from anything else, the fact that this phenomenon can cause organisms to undergo chaotic mutations in an extremely short period of time has enormous research value.

Great for crafting and replenishing a large number of creature cards.

In addition, Zuo Si also realized that the mutation of viruses and bacteria in his body might be related to the "chaos factor".

Maybe even the body has undergone some unknown changes in this process, but we were completely unaware of it before.

"Just a little substance?!"

Wilmes' pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of fear and terror.

Because she was not sure whether this nominal "ally" and actual master beside her would treat her as a test subject.

After all, before this, Zuo Si had used Beltogas's "big treasure" to mass-produce half-dragon ogres.

It is estimated that there are at least dozens of eggs containing red dragon blood in the cave deep in the mountains.

In about two months, nearly a hundred half-dragon kobolds will be born.

In six years at most, these kobolds would enter adolescence, awaken the magical power in their blood, and become powerful half-dragon warlocks.

With the mental connection with the strange object, Zuo Si easily saw through the Red Dragon's thoughts and comforted him with a chuckle, "Don't worry, since you have been performing well recently, I will not include you in this kind of dangerous experiment for the time being."

Hearing this, Wilmes instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Pointing at the violent beast that had been transformed from a hound, he asked, "What are you going to do with it? Are you going to make it into some weird magic summoning prop like you did with those giants, orcs, ogres, and dragon liches?"

"No, I have other plans for it."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a small bottle of milky white translucent mucus from his bag, took out a little bit of it through magic, and then injected it all into the reproductive system of the mutant creature.

When the human-like Wilmes saw this, he raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "You...you plan to use it as a mother to breed a half-dragon?"

"That's right! That's why I specifically picked a female hound just now. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no reproductive isolation between dragons and any other creatures, I can crossbreed the offspring of this giant beast with different kinds of dogs to cultivate a stable dragon hound that has a certain level of intelligence and is loyal to its master. This is my ultimate goal."

Zuo Si did not hide anything and stated his plan openly.

After all, when it comes to reproduction efficiency, male dragons have far greater advantages than female dragons.

The latter takes at least several months to half a year from pregnancy to egg laying.

With this skill, as long as the former is not picky about food, he can make hundreds of female creatures pregnant with his offspring.

If magical power is used to increase the chance of conception, and some races can give birth to several babies in one litter, it may be possible to give birth to an army.

"You are such a lunatic!"

Wilmes looked at Zuo Si with fear in his eyes.

Because she was not sure whether this terrifying human cub, who looked only about ten years old, would force herself to become pregnant in the same way in the future, and then continue to breed various dragon offspring.

Just as the man and the dragon were talking, Bernard came over from a distance with a moon elf wearing a gray robe and long silver hair like a waterfall.

When they saw the huge figure standing in the open space of the kennel and the servant who was frightened unconscious, they immediately showed expressions of extreme shock.

Especially Bernard, the owner, immediately ran over and asked breathlessly: "Sir Soth, what...what happened?"

Zuo Si calmly put away the bottle in his hand and replied with a smile: "Nothing, just some small experiments with your hound."

Gulp!

Bernard, who was just an ordinary person, swallowed subconsciously and felt his scalp tingling.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of magical experiment could make a large hound become as big as a Mastodon.

And its appearance doesn't look like a canine at all.

Those rows of sharp fangs are just like those of a shark. If you get bit by one of them, you'll probably be broken in half.

In contrast, the moon elf dressed as a wizard was quite calm. Not only did he not show any panic, but he looked at the mutated hound with interest and asked, "What did you do to it? Normal transformation magic and bloodline and physiological structure modification cannot achieve this level."

"This is my little secret, which is not convenient to tell. Besides, you are..."

Zuo Si looked the strange visitor up and down.

Judging from his attire, he was obviously a member of a masked wizard organization, and had a mark on his chest that symbolized his status as a senior manager.

Although she was wearing a magical mask that only covered her nose and eyes and blurred her face, it was still confirmed that this female moon elf had a very outstanding appearance.

To be precise, the Moon Elves, a special branch of elves, naturally produce many handsome men and beautiful women.

Especially the iconic fair skin with a few blue spots, paired with silver, blue or black hair, the first impression given is elegance, mystery and arrogance.

However, considering that the elves in Amn were massacred during the period when the region was ruled by the Shane Dynasty, it is still somewhat strange that a moon elf joined the Masked Wizard Organization.

After all, even today, there are still many extremists in Askatla who spread hate speech against the elves in public, and some even think that the entire elf race should be completely exterminated.

"This is Ms. Zelanora, she is here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Council of Six and the Masked Mage." Bernard hurriedly made a brief introduction.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, your Excellency the Elector."

The moon elf named Zelanora placed one hand on her chest and bowed slightly.

This is not only a recognition of Zuo Si's own power, but also a tribute to the goddess of poison and plague.

Zuo Si returned the greeting: "I am glad to see you too, ma'am.

Since you represent the Council of Six and the Guild of Masked Mages, let's skip the boring mutual testing and get straight to the point.

My request is simple, which is to build a magic tower in the urban area of Athkatla.

In return, I allow you to use my name to intimidate competitors and force them to make concessions."

"But there is no precedent for non-Masked Mages Guild members to build a Mage Tower in Askatra. To be exact, even many Masked Mages cannot build their own Mage Tower in this city. Instead, they need to find a vacant lot in other towns or manors."

Zelanola tried to gain more bargaining chips by emphasizing principles.

"Precedents are meant to be broken. If you really can't meet my requirements, I will consider leaving Amn and settling in Baldur's Gate in the north. I believe the dukes of Baldur's Gate would be very happy to let me build a wizard tower in their city, and even provide land and various conveniences for free."

Zuo Si showed his cards without hesitation.

He was well aware of how tense the relationship between Baldur's Gate and Amn was at the moment, and even more aware of the fierce friction between the two sides over trade.

To put it bluntly, if Amn's military strength had not been as weak as ever, the previous border war would not have been so easy to end.

Compared to the disciplined and extremely brave "Flaming Fist Mercenaries" of Baldur's Gate, the former had long been corrupted by shadow thieves, guilds of commerce, pirates, and slave traders with money in prosperous big cities.

Almost all soldiers think about how to make as much money as possible by taking advantage of their positions, and then enjoy fine wine, delicious food, and scantily clad women on the streets. No one really cares about how to win a war.

Therefore, the army of Amn often suffered rapid morale collapse and large-scale rout more than once when encountering powerful enemies or the battles were too bloody and cruel.

Even with the assistance of the Masked Mage Guild, they can only barely hold on to their existing territory.

Only when the big chambers of commerce send their elite troops to explore overseas colonies and earn huge profits through monopoly, will this country unleash its true power.

Seeing that her strategy had failed from the beginning, Zelanora immediately frowned and cautiously asked, "Do you really want to build a wizard tower in the city?"

“That’s right!”

Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative answer.

The two of them stared into each other's eyes for more than ten seconds. Finally, Zelanora chose to compromise and took out a pre-prepared agreement from her bosom: "Here, this is the final condition that the Six-Man Council and the Masked Mages Guild have agreed to after discussion. If you can accept it, please sign it."

Zuo Si took it and glanced at it, and found that the content was very simple, and could be summarized into three points.

The first is that he must nominally join the Masked Wizard, but he does not need to bear any responsibilities or obligations, nor does he have to obey anyone's orders. He only needs to help when facing a massive invasion of monsters such as orcs.

The second was that he was responsible for managing Talona's church in Amn, ensuring that it would not spread the plague, and especially prohibiting it from attacking the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the ruling class.

The third one is even simpler, which is to provide treatment to high-level members of the Six-member Council when they are poisoned or sick.

You should know that in Faerun, not all poisons and diseases can be dealt with by the two divine spells [Neutralize Poison] and [Remove Disease].

Some special toxins and diseases usually require some rare materials to make corresponding antidotes.

Many people died before the antidote was even ready.

But now that we have the voters of the Goddess of Poison and Disease, there is naturally no need for so much trouble.

It can be said that the only troublesome of these conditions is the second one.

After much hesitation, Zuo Si decided to sign his name at the bottom of the agreement and then handed the parchment to the other party.

"Now please tell me where you have allocated the location for me to build the wizard tower? Don't tell me it's in the cemetery. Although I am good at necromancy, I don't want my neighbors to be a bunch of dead people."

Hearing this half-joking remark, Zelanora couldn't help laughing, and then replied in the same humorous language: "Don't worry, the location we assigned to you is still a little far from the cemetery area.

To be precise, it is at the junction of the cemetery area, slums, bridge area and city gate area.

You can use the abundant negative energy in the cemetery to conduct research on necromancy, and you can also occasionally go to the Copper Crown Inn in the slums for a drink.

Moreover, it is very convenient to travel whether by water or by land.

How about this arrangement? Are you satisfied with it?"

Zuo Si nodded in satisfaction: "It sounds good. When can I start working?"

"After you deal with the Talona Church in the city, I will send someone to deliver the land deed and the permit to build the Mage Tower, and then we can officially start construction." Zelanora said meaningfully.

"Okay, I understand."

Zuo Si sighed slightly and quickly ended the negotiation.

After watching the moon elf leave, he immediately turned to Bernard and said, "Start recruiting people now. I need a sufficient number of skilled craftsmen to ensure that the project can be completed in the shortest possible time after obtaining the land deed."

Bernard assured confidently: "No problem. The Stonemason Guild of Askatla has sufficient manpower, and there will be no shortage even if we recruit a hundred stonemasons at once.

As for the ordinary workers, I can transfer some of the tenant farmers from the estate.

It is the slack season for farmers right now, and as long as they are provided with food and accommodation and a small salary, they would be very happy to come to the city to earn some extra money.

But I can't do anything about the magic part."

"I will take care of the magic myself. You just need to build the foundation and the outer layer of the tower first. Here is the design. When the time comes, you can give it to the stonemasons and they will understand it."

After saying this, Zuo Si took out the blueprints he had drawn in the past few days and handed them to the businessman.

It can be seen that he was in a very good mood after obtaining the construction permit for the Mage Tower. Even though he was about to meet with the local priest of the Talona Church, he did not look sad.

Bernard didn't waste any time and immediately left home with the blueprints, starting to work on building this tower that might cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins or even more.

Because he understood that this wizard tower was of great significance to himself and even his family.

When Zuo Si settled down, this young and ambitious businessman had a backer he could rely on.

No matter who it is, if they want to attack the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, they need to consider the revenge from a powerful wizard and the Chosen One of the Goddess of Poison and Plague.

In the future, maybe they could rely on the good cooperative relationship between the two to send their children here to learn magic, and then contribute to the development and growth of the family and the Chamber of Commerce.

Zuo Si didn't care at all about what Bernard thought.

Because he has to solve a problem that he is not willing to face, which is dealing with the Goddess's notorious church.

Arriving at the temple area next to the administrative district, Zuo Si immediately saw the Talona Temple, which had just had its foundation laid and was being built at a leisurely pace.

With the sponsorship of several wealthy businessmen and nobles, as well as the recent surge in donations from believers, the church has apparently raised enough money and plans to take root in the land of Amn.

However, the Lord of the Dawn, Lathander, the Guardian Goddess of Helheim, and the Knights of the Burning Heart, who are composed of holy warriors, who also have temples nearby, are obviously not friendly to the church of the goddess of poison and disease.

If it weren't for the Amn law that stipulated that any god had the right to preach here, they would probably rush up and drive away or kill these bastards who spread the plague on the spot.

Some priests and paladins even loudly told the workers hired to do the work about Talona's "evil deeds", hoping to make them repent and give up building temples for the evil goddess.

Unfortunately, this rhetoric may have some effect in other cities.

But in the profit-driven "Gold Coin Capital" Ascatla, the workers didn't even bother to pay attention and just kept working.

Because the priests of the Talona Church knew how bad their reputation was, they offered double salary to those who were willing to work.

Unless the other party can offer a higher price, it is impossible to have any impact on these "workers" just by talking nonsense.

But the problem is that people in the lawful good and lawful neutral camps will definitely not do things like malicious bidding that undermine market rules.

"Master, do we really have to go over there at this time?" David asked with a serious expression.

After all, judging from the situation, almost all the good and neutral churches of gods in the entire temple area have come.

Even the churches of evil gods like Talos, the god of storms, and Amberlee, the goddess of the sea, sent people to stand aside and watch the fun.

"If I go there now, I'm afraid I'll become the target of public criticism."

The half-orc Rhett also muttered something.

Unless one is a mentally ill lunatic, no one can remain calm when facing so many churches of gods.

"You guys wait here, I'll go over there by myself."

Zuo Si was obviously mentally prepared for this situation.

This is why he has always refused to have any contact with these guys.

To be honest, before Cyric went crazy, if one had to select a list of the most hated gods by mortals among all the gods in Faerun, Talona, the goddess of poison and plague, would definitely be ranked at the top of the list.

After all, spreading the plague indiscriminately is something that is extremely hateful.

If it weren't for the fear of angering this terrible evil goddess, it wouldn't be a big deal if those priests were caught and burned alive.

The moment Zuo Si squeezed through the crowd and took off his hood to reveal a young face, the originally lively scene suddenly fell into silence.

It was as if someone had pressed the mute button.

Whether it was the good god pastor who was using "mouth persuasion" or the members of the evil god church, they all fell silent.

Because compared to the civilians who had no stable source of information, they had already learned through various means that Talona had personally descended to incarnate and selected a mortal as her elect.

In addition, Zuo Si's age and appearance were quite conspicuous, so he was recognized almost immediately.

"Praise the great goddess! The only chosen one appointed by Talona, the son of plague, the destroyer from another world, you are finally willing to come to see us."

An old woman who looked to be in her fifties ran up quickly and led all the pastors and believers present to kneel on the ground, her voice filled with unparalleled excitement.

Although the camp of the Goddess of Poison and Disease itself is chaotic evil, her church is not as chaotic as Cyric's. It has a very strict organization and hierarchical division.

As a voter, Zuo Si was undoubtedly an existence "under one god and above everyone else" in this system.

Even those hostile priests of the good god chose to remain silent at this moment.

If anyone is blind and takes the initiative to find fault at this time, it is basically equivalent to insulting and blaspheming God.

According to the laws of Amn, he could be killed on the spot.

"Are you the highest-ranking person in the Church of Amn?" Zuo Si asked directly.

The old woman nodded quickly. "Yes, Mr. Elect. My name is Yvette, and I am the chief priest of this country's church. Before you showed up, we had always kept a low profile and didn't dare to preach openly, let alone build a grand temple for the goddess. The church is now as powerful as it is now, all thanks to you."

"I need to talk to you alone."

Zuo Si looked into the other person's eyes and spoke in an almost commanding tone.

"No problem! It's my pleasure."

The old woman who called herself Yvette slowly stood up and gestured for a visit, pointing to a house not far away.

Soon, the two walked in one after the other and closed the door.

With a loud bang, there was an uproar at the scene as if the mute button had been pressed.

As a priest and believer of Talona, they were naturally overjoyed when they witnessed Zuo Si, the chosen one who destroyed a world with plague in the legend, as if they had found a backer.

The priests of the kind gods had solemn expressions, as if the end of the world was coming.

A paladin wearing full plate armor took a deep breath and couldn't help complaining to his companions, "Damn it! Sir Kedon, what on earth is wrong with this world? Why does even Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, have her own powerful chosen people?

They can even openly build temples in Athkatla and recruit believers.

If the evil forces continue to expand like this, what is the point of us doing our best to maintain order and justice every day? "

"Calm down, Sir Cassius. Things may not be as bad as you think. Because I heard from the priests of the Church of Ilmat that the incarnation of the God of Suffering also came that night and drove away the incarnation of Talona. According to the information they gave, the young elect does not seem to agree with the teachings of the Poison Lady."

The middle-aged holy warrior called Kaidong patted his friend's shoulder and comforted him.

"The elect do not agree with the God who gave them power?" Sir Cassius widened his eyes in surprise.

Because he was extremely devout and firm in his faith, he could not imagine or understand such a strange situation.

Kaidong smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes! Isn't it wonderful? As far as I know, this elect has been in Athkatla for some time, but has never had any contact with the local church. I guess he came here today because he reached some agreement with the Six-Man Council, so he came to restrict the behavior of the Talona Church."

Sir Cassius nodded thoughtfully: "I see. If that's the case, it might be a good thing for Askatra. At least we don't have to worry too much about a large-scale outbreak of plague or disease."

"Let's go. We still have to rush to Giant Plains to carry out a mission. According to the information provided by Duke Telgar, the situation there seems to be very critical."

"That's true. Let's go to the city gate and meet up with the other brothers and sisters of the Knights."

As they were talking, the two holy warriors quickly mounted their horses and turned to head east.

Not long after they left, Zuo Si walked out of the house and walked away under the gaze of countless eyes, leaving behind Yvette with a unhappy look on her face.

You don't need to ask to know that the conversation between the two of them just now must have been unpleasant.

To be precise, the former used their status as voters to force the latter to accept the demands of the Council of Six that nobles and wealthy businessmen should not be targeted, let alone spread the plague in Amn.

"Master Priest, what did the Elected One say to you?" A younger priest came closer and cautiously asked.

Yvette replied bitterly: "He has set some rules for us. Some of the previous methods can no longer be used in the future. It seems that this elect has no good feelings towards the church and the goddess. I really don't understand why the great mother of plague would choose such a person as the elect."

"No good feelings? This... How is this possible!?"

The young pastor opened his mouth wide, a little bit unable to believe what he heard.

But Yvette ignored him and only sighed in a low voice: "The thoughts of God are indeed beyond the understanding of us mortals. Perhaps this Chosen One has some qualities that we cannot see, so he has won the unreserved favor of the goddess. In short, tell everyone in the church not to try to violate these taboos, otherwise he will kill us all without mercy."

"What about Talona? Will our goddess just let him kill his own believers and followers?" the young priest asked excitedly.

"That's right! In the eyes of the goddess, the status and importance of the chosen ones are far higher than you and me.

Also, never try to guess the thoughts of God from a mortal's perspective.

This was the first warning and also the last.

Don’t forget, since the appearance of this elect, our church has grown exponentially in both influence and number of believers.

This alone is enough to prove that the Great Goddess's judgment is correct."

After saying this, Yvette no longer paid any attention to the distraught young man, walked straight to the other pastors and believers, and began to announce the church's new rules to everyone present.

These "new rules" not only made "their own people" feel unbelievable, but even the kind-hearted members of the Church of Gods who came to cause trouble were shocked and speechless.

Because this is really not in line with the style of Talona, the goddess of poison and plague. Instead, it has a tendency towards evil, lawful or neutral camps.

While everyone was discussing, a woman hiding in a dark corner pursed her lips and revealed a playful smile, muttering in a voice that only she could hear: "You have no respect for the God who gave you power? Soth, you are really an interesting little guy. No wonder you are targeted by those Symbol Masters."

As the last word came out of her mouth, she took off her hood to reveal her thin and delicate elf face. It was Zelanora who had just negotiated with Zuo Si on behalf of the Council of Six and the masked wizard not long ago.

But she was different from the previous moon elf who exuded elegance and beauty.

At this moment, Zelanora looked like a cold and cruel necromancer, with a strong negative energy emanating from his body.

Both eyes also glowed with a chilling red light.

But she didn't stay here for too long and soon disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, Shangela, the Lord of the Symbols, also came to the secret base in Askatla alone.

After the lich finished reading the information he had collected recently, he immediately asked with interest, "Since Soth arrived in Athkatra, he has not contacted the church of Talona, the goddess of poison and plague?"

"Yes, Master. According to the intelligence we have, Soth never prays and never wears the holy symbol in public. He doesn't look like a chosen one at all. Quite the opposite. His every move is more like that of a wizard with little faith or even no faith."

A man in leather armor knelt on the ground and gave an affirmative answer.

Similar to how it operated in Calimshan, the Entangled Talisman in Athkatla indirectly controlled several chambers of commerce and the families behind them through infiltration, threats, and bribery.

Then use the tentacles extended by these people to find out various secrets.

Therefore, they were very clear about the secret agreement reached between the Council of Six, the Masked Wizard and Zuo Si.

"Oh? Then why would such a person become a voter?" Shangela continued to ask, touching his chin.

The man quickly explained, "According to our analysis and the recent propaganda of the Church of Talona, Soth seems to have come from another world and completely destroyed that world with a terrible plague. I think it may be because of this that he is favored by the Mother of Plague. In addition, he is also very good at using poison."

"From another world? No wonder! Then the special abilities he used in making magic items, as well as those completely different design ideas, are most likely magic skills from another world..."

Shangela instantly thought of many things.

Because the powerful magic item created by Zuo Si - [Blue Dragon Nemesis], has already been studied repeatedly by them.

Whether it is the dense rune arrangement that most spellcasters cannot do, or the diamond dust evenly spread throughout every corner of the crystal, it is definitely not any known magic item manufacturing technology in the continent of Faerun.

What's more, Zuo Si's spellcasting level is not high, which is the consensus of all the Lords of Symbols.

But the magic items he created were far beyond his own spellcasting level.

But if these skills come from another world, then everything can be explained.

"Master, what should we do next?" the man asked in an uncertain tone.

"You don't need to do anything. Just continue to collect information about Soth. Also, if it's convenient, you can consider establishing some business dealings with him. I want to see what this alternative voter will do next."

Shangela gave orders to his confidants without any hesitation.

According to the rules set by the organization, no symbol master is allowed to come into contact with the gods' elects or priests.

So no matter how much he wanted to communicate with Zuo Si, he had to be patient now.

At least we can't take any risks before getting Lagong's approval.

"I understand. Please rest assured that I will send back the sorted information every once in a while." The man promised solemnly.

As Zuo Si dealt with the Talona Church in the city according to the agreement, the Six-Man Council and the Masked Mage quickly sent over a land deed with a mage construction permit and a set of suitable suits for senior members of the Masked Mage Guild.

As promised by the other party, the land is located in the middle of the cemetery area, slum area, bridge area and city gate area.

There used to be a small square there, but now it has all been allocated to the Mage Tower.

As for the security situation around here...

It's basically a state of chaos.

After all, it is so close to the slums and the bridge area, and with the activities of a large number of Shadow Thieves Guild members, it would be strange if the situation could be good.

According to civilians living in this area, a number of mysterious guys can be seen sneaking into the cemetery almost every night. Without asking, one knows that they are definitely going to steal funeral objects.

fortunately!

The Mage's Tower is not a place where any thief can sneak in and steal things.

So no matter how bad the security situation was, Zuo Si didn't care.

Because after the Mage Tower is built, he will be the most dangerous person in this area.

If there are any ignorant people who dare to sneak in and steal things, they will be used as guinea pigs for experiments.

In this way, in less than three days, Bernard gathered the construction team.

In order to prevent thugs from causing trouble, Zuo Si also transferred the Iron Golem to maintain order.

With this big guy, the working stonemasons and farmers from the countryside immediately felt an incomparable sense of security.

With the addition of a dozen torches blessed with the [Eternal Flame] for lighting, they can continue working even after nightfall.

With the creator's powerful [Shaping] ability, Zuo Si finished the lower part and the ground part in a short time.

Looking at the tower rising from the ground and the solid outer wall without any gaps, the dwarf craftsman in charge of the project couldn't help but admire: "Sir Soth, your ability to shape matter is really the most powerful among all the spellcasters I have ever seen in my life. Without your help, it would probably take more than a month or two to build it to this level."

"At the current rate, how long will it take to complete everything?"

Zuo Si asked without turning his head as he used his ability to perfectly fuse the piled up rubble together to form an outer wall.

Since his Creator level reached LV11, he felt more and more adept at constructing large magical buildings like the Mage Tower.

As long as there are enough raw materials, a layer of cover can be completed in just a few days.

Of course, the wizard tower is different from an ordinary castle. It also needs to add some other things inside the wall to increase the hardness and resistance to various magical energies.

In this regard, Zuo Si comprehensively referred to the technology of the floating city's tower and the local wizard tower construction technology of Faerun and chose a compromise solution.

You have to know that the floating city of the Aiel people is not the same as the floating city of Netheril.

The latter relies on an alchemical creation called "Misera's Core" to draw energy directly from the magic network to maintain its own huge energy consumption.

But the former dug out something called "Heart of the Earth Veins" from the depths of the earth as the core, connecting the floating city with the energy flowing in the earth veins.

As long as the magical energy of the planet beneath your feet is not exhausted, there will always be endless energy in the floating city, and there is no need to worry about falling down.

Although Zuo Si didn't know whether there were treasures like the "Heart of the Earth" underground in Furen.

But he can fully learn from those efficient energy absorption designs and make his own mage tower have a faster charging speed than ordinary mage towers.

After all, for him, energy means mana, which means a higher career level and more cards.

"About a month. To be honest, it's pretty fast to build a large wizard tower like this within a year."

The dwarf foreman thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.

(End of this chapter)
