magnificent!

huge!

It is filled with supernatural magical powers that are completely different from modern society, but equally developed and convenient!

With the multiple super casting environments constructed by the Core of Mysera, the Elven Magic Labyrinth and other time and space connected by the Planeswalker Land Cards, the capital of the empire on the west coast of the continent of Faerun - Askatla has presented a strange scene similar to the time and space of Ravnica, where magic and technology are highly integrated.

Coupled with a population that has swelled to over 2.4 million, the wealth and power of just one city exceeds that of several countries and regions combined.

In particular, there are hundreds of wizard towers that are scattered around special nodes in the city according to a certain position and order.

Among them, the giant wizard towers are owned by Zuo Si himself or his Arcane Mystic Society and Masked Wizard Guild, while the small and medium-sized ones are owned by the wizard who built them.

But all wizard towers have one thing in common, that is, they are all integrated into a huge magic network system.

Normally, the tower master can do whatever he wants within the scope of permission.

But once entering a wartime state, they will have to obey the command of the main tower as the core of the network and become part of the Athkatla magic defense system.

When necessary, they must be recruited to join the Mage Corps to fight for the Empire.

Of course, the benefit is that you can gain more knowledge, resources, and channels to sell homemade potions, scrolls, and magic items.

Because the Core of Mysera provided nearly unlimited energy, temporary magical items that had flourished during the Netheril era began to once again come into the public eye.

Things that used to require thousands of gold coins can now be made with just a hundred or even a dozen gold coins.

It is not only effective within the city of Athkatla, but can also be used normally in all other large cities of the empire. Even the horse-drawn carriages that were originally the main means of transportation within the city have gradually been replaced by mechanical vehicles powered by magical energy, or aircraft that shuttle quickly in the sky.

As for the water supply, you just need to spend some money to buy a stainless steel valve that can directly connect to the water elemental plane.

Various magic-net-driven fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, radios, and magic mirrors that allow users to watch theater performances remotely at home for a fee were also created by inventors from the Church of Gund, the god of mages and craftsmen.

Moreover, more efficient magic machines replaced the hydraulic forging hammers previously built along the river bank, and large stamping machines, hydraulic presses, and steel-making blast furnaces also appeared in the factories in the industrial zone.

Even the food processing and textile industries have transitioned from handicraft workshops to assembly line processes.

"What a beautiful and vibrant magical city. I still have a strong sense of unreality. I really hope that one day Gellert can see this scene and start this great adventure with me."

Through the window of the Wizard Tower, Dumbledore looked down at the huge flow of people rushing to their workplaces on the city's streets in the early morning and couldn't help but sigh.

They were seen scrambling to buy cheap and nutritious breakfasts and drinks from roadside stalls, talking with colleagues or friends about the bad things in life and work-related matters, and then getting into the crowded rail train driven by magic while cursing.

This is a new type of public transportation system that appeared after the magic maze covered major cities. It currently connects several of the most important areas of the city.

Its emergence is mainly because the spatial span of Askatla has become increasingly larger during its continuous expansion.

Whether transporting people or goods, there is an urgent need for a means of transportation that is both cheap and convenient.

A wizard was inspired by the rail vehicles that transport ore in the mine, and used the complex spell effects that magic mazes could provide to eventually create a train that would automatically run on a specific track.

It is not like the trams on Earth, which are just a simple rectangular empty box with some seats and handles inside. It may tow one or more trailers at the back according to needs. It has no wheels underneath and floats directly above the ground.

As for the track, it is not two iron rails, but a palm-wide magical magnetic pole that can continuously generate a slight upward thrust.

Similarly, magic magnetic poles are installed at the bottom of the carriage.

In this way, as long as the magic lock is used to bless the carriage with the [Feather Fall Technique], the repulsive force generated between the magnetic poles alone is enough to make the fully loaded carriage float.

Then, by opening the channel installed under the car that connects to the wind element plane, a strong airflow can be obtained to generate a stable forward thrust.

Since all magic-related creations are temporary magic items, this thing is very cheap to make and does not require much maintenance.

If Dumbledore had not confirmed that he was in another world, he would even think that this was the streets of London decades ago.

Of course, the civilians of Athkatla have a hundred times better off in terms of food, accommodation and income than the inhuman British colonial empire of the past.

After all, one of the two is that capital controls the country, while the other is that absolute dictatorship controls capital.

Almost all the taxes collected by the entire West Coast Empire, apart from those used to maintain the operation of the bureaucratic system, are invested in infrastructure, education, health and social welfare.

Not only will the royal family not take a single penny from it, but they will also provide additional huge amounts of funds every year, enough to leave other countries far behind, to vigorously cultivate arcane spellcasters and encourage innovation and invention.

The most important thing is that Zuo Si, as the dictator of the empire, provided the country with strong military protection.

Various gods, churches, gangs, thieves guilds, dragons, evil organizations and creatures from other dimensions basically don't dare to cause trouble here.

Otherwise, any behavior that is out of line will be met with the iron fist of tyranny that falls from the sky in a matter of minutes.

According to Dumbledore's current understanding, the West Coast Empire never cares about any laws when fighting such enemies, and will not be bound by rules and regulations.

Once discovered, they will immediately mobilize the forces hidden in the darkness to uproot the opponent.

There will be no trial or involvement of the judicial system during the entire process, and all participants without exception will disappear from the face of the earth, as if they had never existed.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore, who had already drunk the life-extending potion and restored himself to his 40-year-old appearance, could not help but sigh in a low voice: "Well, now I understand why Soth has never had the slightest interest in the power of the wizarding world.

Compared with this powerful magic empire, the wizards' world is so small that it probably cannot satisfy his appetite at all.

What's more, everyone has to admit that he is definitely an excellent ruler, as he was able to develop a country that was originally in the Middle Ages and Renaissance period into its current state in a short period of time.

Although his style of doing things may be a bit autocratic.

But this is understandable.

After all, there are all kinds of dangers in this world, including gods, angels, demons, devils, dragons, etc.

If the ruler is not strong enough, it may lead to serious disastrous consequences..."

There is no doubt that Albus Dumbledore was never a rigid person.

Apart from the very few issues involving bottom lines and principles, he actually has no obvious political inclinations, nor is he as kind and just as many people imagine. Sometimes he even uses extraordinary means to achieve his goals.

Ever since he followed the lich of the Arcane Mystic Society to Athkatra, this old man who once stood at the pinnacle of the magic world has continued to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the continent of Faerun through the rich books in the library, and knows how many terrible crises are hidden under the seemingly peaceful appearance of this world.

What made him even more frightened were the gods, ancient evil creatures and quasi-divine powers that could easily trigger a world-destroying crisis, as well as the endless fighting between gods of different camps.

In such an environment, human life is so fragile that if one is not careful, one will be forced to be involved and become a tragic victim.

So Dumbledore believes that in this situation, no matter whether the ruling method is dictatorship or democracy, the most important thing is to provide maximum protection to ordinary people.

And the West Coast Empire is undoubtedly the best one in this regard.

Just as he was about to turn around and head to the cafeteria next door to have some breakfast, and then review the magic knowledge taught yesterday before class, a young female apprentice with short brown hair suddenly rushed out from the corner of the stairs, quickly took out a red-covered book from her arms and handed it to him with both hands, saying breathlessly: "I... I'm giving it back to you! Thank you so much. Without your help, I might never have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of profound and complex magic knowledge in my life."

"You're welcome, Miss Daisy.

I'm just being generous to others.

After all, these books and notes do not belong to me. I just borrowed them from the library temporarily.

In addition, I must solemnly remind you that as a mage, staying up late for a long time and not getting enough rest is a taboo. "

Dumbledore took the red-covered book and a faint smile appeared on his face.

It has to be said that he is at the most masculine time of his life when his appearance remains around 40 years old.

Whether it is the pair of weathered and wise eyes, the mature aura emanating from his body, or the handsome face, they are enough to have a fatal attraction on young girls who are not well-versed in the world.

The young apprentice named Daisy's heartbeat quickened instantly, and a blush appeared on her face. She quickly touched the dark circles under her eyes caused by staying up late, and responded in a shy tone: "It can't be helped.

After all, for an apprentice like me who comes from a commoner background, learning magic is not an easy thing.

If it were not for the funding provided by His Majesty the Great Emperor, the teaching materials and courses required during Guang's apprenticeship would not be affordable for an ordinary family.

Not to mention the books in the advanced library that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins to read.

So I have to seize every opportunity I can to improve myself.

Only by obtaining a higher spellcasting level and mastering more spells can you have the opportunity to earn more money and go further on this path.

A big shot like you who can freely go in and out of high-end libraries to borrow any book will never understand the difficulties faced by us apprentices who come from common backgrounds.

Of course, I'm not complaining.

After all, if it were in the past, a commoner like me wouldn't even be qualified to come into contact with magic."

After that, Daisy placed one hand on her chest and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

Because she knew very well the value of that book.

If converted into gold coins, even if he sold himself to the slave traders in Sel ten times, it might not be enough.

The girl didn't understand why Dumbledore would help her for free.

Could it be that he is attracted by my young body and beauty?

If this is true, then Daisy would definitely be happy to be the mistress of this mature and handsome middle-aged man.

But the problem is that she has hinted at it several times, but the other party just laughed it off and was not moved at all.

This completely unequal relationship made her feel very uneasy.

After all, the values ​​that mages believe in is that if you want to get something, you have to pay something.

When someone keeps giving you benefits without asking for anything in return, it often means that the price you have to pay in the end may be very huge.

What's more, Dumbledore's identity and origin are too mysterious.

So much so that no one knew who he was, or why he started learning arcane magic at such a young age, and yet he had his own independent room in the Mage Tower, as well as the privilege of entering the highest-level library and borrowing books at will.

Especially the last one, which can only be obtained by those legendary spellcasters called "Masters".

But the other party was obviously not a legendary spellcaster, otherwise there would be no need for him to take basic courses with other apprentices.

However, what Daisy didn't know was that the reason Dumbledore gave her the books was because he was used to being the headmaster of Hogwarts and was accustomed to providing help to the best of his ability to those smart and hardworking apprentices.

As for beauty...

Sorry, I don't like women at all.

Looking at the young girl's uneasy expression, Dumbledore couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so polite, Miss Daisy.

I believe that with your intelligence and hard work, you will be able to go very far on the path of magic.

You have plenty of talent, and I just don't want it to be wasted.

Come on, your future will be bright."

"Thank you. I swear I will never forget this kindness."

Daisy was obviously inspired by these words.

Because her starting point was too low, she couldn't buy all kinds of expensive materials for experiments like the children from rich families, nor borrow and copy those spells that required money to learn, so she was actually very inferior in her heart.

Even when eating, I can only eat free meals and never dare to touch those delicacies that require payment.

In the process of learning magic, rich and poor apprentices are like people from two completely different worlds.

Although there is no difference between them in status and rank.

But at the same intelligence level, rich apprentices will always learn faster and have higher spellcasting levels than poor apprentices.

The latter often needs to put in ten or even dozens of times the effort to barely catch up with the former.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The worst thing to do when learning magic is to rush for success. Come on, let's go get some breakfast together. It's my treat."

Dumbledore took Daisy into the cafeteria and ordered a large number of expensive high-end cakes, biscuits, bread and steaks.

As a person who cannot live without sweet things, he has started to eat sweets crazily as if to take revenge since his body regained its youth. Even if he doesn't eat, he has to stuff two pieces of candy or fresh milk cakes of various flavors into his mouth.

After filling their stomachs, the two came to the place where the class was held and waited with other apprentices for the tower consciousness to descend in the form of a phantom to teach them new magical knowledge.

By the time the morning classes were over, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Since learning magic will cause the brain to consume energy at a faster rate, groups of apprentices would rush to the cafeteria as soon as the get out of class was over, intending to fill their hungry appetites with sumptuous meals.

However, Dumbledore did not go with them today, but left the Wizard Tower alone and went to the administrative district of Askatla.

When passing by the market along the way, he did not forget to stop in and take a look around, selecting merchants from all over the world who gathered here to sell all kinds of strange goods.

Not only the continent of Faerun, but also merchants from the far eastern continent of Karatu, indigenous chiefs from the continent of Maztec, and caravans from the outer planes and other material planes on magic ships are attracted by the prosperous market here.

As long as they abide by laws and order, even demons, devils, mind flayers, beholders, Githyanki, and dragons can rent shops and stalls to do business.

The currencies used in the exchange range from precious metals to souls.

Some businesses that like to play the long game even allow customers to pay in installments, or sell the ownership of their souls and bodies after death.

When he first came to this place, Dumbledore was completely stunned by the scene of demons dancing in disorder.

Especially some extremely evil materials and magical items, which suddenly made him feel that the murderous "Voldemort" Tom Riddle was just a harmless little white rabbit in front of these creatures that truly exuded evil from the bones.

The painful effects of the Cruciatus Curse are simply not on the same level as the torment of souls by necromancers, demons, and devils.

Moreover, using the Cruciatus Curse too much will cause the target to go crazy.

But torturing the soul does not have such side effects and can keep the other person awake.

However, after the initial shock, Dumbledore quickly adapted to the market environment and would come here every once in a while to buy things that interested him.

Although he could get anything he wanted from the warehouse in the Mage Tower at will, he did not use this privilege frequently. Instead, he tried to be self-reliant as much as possible and made money by mixing potions and making magic items with his talent in alchemy.

After all, the debt of favor owed must be repaid.

The old man's strong self-esteem makes him unwilling to accept too much charity.

After a short while, Dumbledore had spent his budget of thousands of gold coins and reluctantly left this huge market full of surprises and shocks.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue shopping, but he has spent all the money he had.

As a top wizard who had never had a strong desire for wealth before, he had never been as eager to get more money as he was now.

Because everything related to magic in the continent of Faerun is ridiculously expensive.

Without sufficient financial support, even conducting some decent experiments and magical research is a luxury.

"Alas - it seems I have to seriously consider that person's proposal."

Standing at the entrance of the market and looking at other high-level wizards and dimensional merchants making huge transactions of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, Dumbledore sighed slightly and tasted the taste of poverty for the first time.

You should know that Amn was originally the most prosperous commercial country in the continent of Faerun, and the output and categories of various commodities topped the entire continent.

Now it is experiencing an explosive growth, like a terrifying behemoth that is madly destroying the basic handicraft industries in the surrounding areas and even further away, completely smashing and destroying them, and then transforming them into cheap raw material production sites and dumping markets through trade treaties.

There is no force in the entire continent of Faerun that can withstand a dimensionality reduction attack of such a scale.

Fortunately, most countries and city-states were still in primitive agricultural and feudal societies, and neither the upper rulers nor the lower-level people realized what this meant.

They are even thankful that various previously expensive commodities are becoming cheaper and cheaper, while large orders for raw materials are also allowing their disposable wealth to continue to grow.

Some vested interest groups that have made huge profits from it continue to boast about how advanced and developed the West Coast Empire is, how fair and just the judicial system is, how high the moral standards of the people are, and how efficient and honest the bureaucracy is. It is a bright beacon that illuminates the entire civilized world and the ideal country in the minds of thinkers and philosophers.

Even the trade alliance, a tool used to expand the influence of the Goddess of Fortune and indirectly control the economies of other countries and regions, was touted as a great initiative that would benefit everyone.

But anyone with a little common sense of modern economics understands that the accumulation and growth of this wealth is seriously uneven.

On the surface, everyone's life is moving in a better direction because of the increase in productivity.

But in reality, the gap between the rich and the poor has not narrowed, but is widening at an unprecedented speed.

Before the establishment of the West Coast Empire, an Amn merchant or noble family with a fortune of one million gold coins was considered high up in the social ladder.

Even the assets of the top three richest people are unlikely to exceed five million gold coins.

But what about now?

They may have been forced to surrender much of their land holdings, but they became more powerful than ever in the business world.

They have so much capital that they can even provide a country with loans lasting several years, and then make huge profits through the other party's mortgaged tax rights, mining rights, etc.

From production to transportation and then to sales, merchants have gradually formed a model of both competition and cooperation in which you have me and I have you.

Of course, they did this not because they did not want to earn higher profits through monopoly, but because they were really scared by Zuo Si's "Enfeoffment Order" and had to reduce their shareholding in a single chamber of commerce as much as possible and adopt a cross-shareholding strategy of casting a wide net.

In this way, although absolute control was lost, the family was also prevented from being targeted due to its huge wealth and influence.

In addition, just because big families cannot own too much land within the West Coast Empire does not mean they cannot own too much land abroad.

For example, the southern part of Sambia, which has been colonized by the Amn economy, the large tracts of reclaimed wasteland in the north, and neighboring countries such as the Vale, Tumis, and Cormyr, can all acquire large manors and castles one after another by spending money, and continue to enjoy the privileges of feudal lords outside.

In Dumbledore's view, these people are actually very similar to the pure-blood families in the wizarding world.

The only difference is that they do not develop the bad habit of arrogance, but are usually more humble and low-key.

However, Dumbledore obviously did not know that the reason why he was treated like this was actually closely related to his identity.

Otherwise, with Bernard's current identity and status, how could he personally show up for a profit of just a few thousand gold coins?

Yes.

The person who made the deal with Dumbledore was none other than Bernard, who decisively made the first round of angel investment in Zuo Si.

As a big businessman who witnessed and participated in all of this, he is already one of the most powerful and influential nobles in the entire Athkatla and even in the West Coast Empire. His wealth is so huge that it is difficult to calculate accurately because it is expanding every moment.

Although his family was sparsely populated due to some special reasons, anyone who knew a little about the situation knew how close the personal relationship between this slightly obese middle-aged man and the emperor of the empire was.

It can even be said that Bernard's every move in the business field represents the will and inclination of the emperor of the empire.

Many families successfully completed their transformation by imitating his investment direction and were not eliminated in this era of drastic changes.

So from the moment Dumbledore arrived at Askatla, Bernard knew who this old man from another world was and how important he was in Zuo Si's mind.

When Dumbledore wanted to make money by selling the potions and magical items he made, he took the initiative to approach them.

The purpose is certainly not to make that little profit.

To be exact, Bernard never thought of making even a penny from Dumbledore, and was even prepared to lose money.

In his eyes, this was a risky gamble, just like investing in Zuo Si back then.

Once you succeed, you will definitely get unimaginable huge rewards.

In order to achieve this goal, the shrewd businessman made many plans in advance, even including an upfront investment of a full million gold coins.

Since he had helped Zuo Si build the Mage Tower, he knew very well how expensive magic was.

The easiest and most direct way to win the favor of an arcane spellcaster is to spend money regardless of the cost.

Fortunately, Bernard now has enough wealth, so he doesn't have to worry about bankruptcy due to the lack of timely returns on large investments.

Just as he was sitting on the sofa in the living room looking through the income and expenditure account books of the past few months, thinking about how to find a breakthrough from Dumbledore, the butler suddenly walked in quickly from outside, bowed very gracefully, and then reported in a low voice: "Sir, Albus Dumbledore, who you specifically told to be careful with, is here. Do you need me to bring him over?"

"What?" Bernard was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted. "Of course! Invite him to the living room immediately. Also, ask the maid to prepare a portion of all the best drinks, and notify the kitchen to cook a sumptuous meal. Remember, you must make sure that the other party feels my sincerity."

"clear."

Hearing the master's order, the butler naturally did not dare to neglect it and immediately asked all the servants in the mansion to get busy.

A few minutes later, Dumbledore walked into the living room with the butler and greeted with a smile: "Good afternoon, dear Mr. Bernard. I hope you won't blame me for visiting you suddenly without prior notice."

"No, of course not. I'm delighted. What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Cocoa? Or an aperitif?"

Bernard was filled with joy, and the word "hospitality" was almost written on his face.

"Give me a cup of coffee, remember to add more sugar and honey, I like the taste sweeter."

Dumbledore chose a drink at random.

This is not only a polite response to the host's hospitality, but also a good way to fill your stomach.

After a while, a cup of strong coffee with a lot of sucrose and honey was brought out.

Without saying a word, he waved his wand to lower the temperature of the scalding coffee to a tolerable level, then he picked it up and took a big sip.

After savoring the bitterness and sweetness on his tongue, Dumbledore put down the cup and said in a very serious tone: "I have thought about your last proposal for a long time, and now I have decided to give it a try."

"Oh? Really?"

Bernard's eyes lit up instantly, his face full of surprise.

"Yes.

Because I realized that what you said is right, wizards do need a lot of money to study and research magic.

Especially when it comes to purchasing those rare and precious spellcasting materials, a few thousand gold coins are not even enough to make up a fraction of them.

To be honest, I never thought that studying magic could be such an expensive thing."

When saying this, Dumbledore's tone was full of helplessness and self-mockery.

He originally thought that with the free books in the great library, he would be able to learn and grasp them easily with his own level of magic.

But the cruel reality slapped him hard in the face.

Because the magic in this world cannot be released by simply learning spells and waving a wand. Instead, one needs to go deep into the ubiquitous magic web and extract energy from it to create complex spell models.

The difficulty of casting spells is many orders of magnitude higher than that of a wizard.

Dumbledore dared to guarantee that, given the group of students at Hogwarts who were naughty all day long and didn't listen carefully in class, nine and a half out of ten would be cruelly eliminated during their apprenticeship period.

And this elimination means death!

He himself had witnessed a careless apprentice accidentally spying on a powerful demon while exploring another dimension without taking proper precautions.

As a result, the apprentice was instantly summoned by the devil and chopped into pieces. The scene was so bloody and cruel that it was suffocating.

What's even more terrifying is that the apprentice's soul has been captured by the devil and is probably now turned into a lowest-level abyss larva.

Therefore, if a wizard wants to gain access to a deeper level of the magic web, he must conduct various dangerous experiments to understand the magic web, control the magic web, and combine it with the magic power in his body.

Trying to achieve this goal solely by relying on theoretical knowledge recorded in books is simply a daydream.

This is why, by using the same method to summon a demon, the archmage can control the opponent and force it to work for him, while the apprentice is often killed directly by the summoned demon.

However, it was precisely this extremely high learning difficulty and danger that made Dumbledore feel unprecedented excitement and challenges.

Compared to the generally comfortable magic world on Earth, this is the place he desires and pursues.

Just as Bernard was about to say something to change the topic to cooperation, a portal suddenly opened in the living room.

The next second...

A lich emitting a bone-chilling chill suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He said directly without any nonsense: "Albus Dumbledore, Lord South wants to meet with you. I wonder if you are free now."

"To see me? Where is he?"

Dumbledore's attention was instantly drawn to it.

Because ever since he came to this world, he has always wanted to talk to Zuo Si face to face, but he has never found an opportunity.

To be precise, the latter never found the time to return to the continent of Faerun.

The lich answered without hesitation: "Lord Soth is currently in another universe. If you agree, I can take you there now."

Hearing this, Dumbledore immediately turned around and gave Bernard an apologetic look: "I'm very sorry, I think we may have to postpone our cooperation a little bit."

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important. You should leave as soon as possible and don't keep His Majesty waiting too long."

The businessman tactfully made a please-come-at-home gesture.

He was undoubtedly very clear that he would never be able to participate in such things, so he was too lazy to even ask about it.

Just like that, the lich that suddenly appeared took Dumbledore with him and activated the inter-dimensional teleportation magic again, and instantly arrived at the ninth level of Baator Hell.

Because only here is there a giant portal leading to the universe where the planet Azeroth is located.

"Where... is this place?!!!"

It was obviously the first time for Dumbledore to come to Hell. He stared with wide eyes at the huge colorful cyberpunk city in the distance and the endless army of devils next to it. He was completely stunned.

Especially since many books recorded that there were terrifying hellish demons that could destroy a country on their own, but now there were so many of them that they could not be counted at all.

"Don't be surprised. They are just a small part of the devil army controlled by Lord Soth. They are heading to the battlefield according to orders. Let's go. Passing through this giant portal will lead to another universe."

After saying that, the lich took out an emblem representing his identity and handed it to the devil guard guarding the portal.

After looking at it, the latter immediately raised his hand to signal for it to pass.

Otherwise, anyone who dares to approach will be immediately attacked mercilessly by them.

After all, there is another universe on the other side of the portal, and many forces want to send people over to investigate and see if they can gain any benefits from it.

When passing through the flickering blue light curtain, the first thing that comes into view is the horrific battlefield that has been going on in Mount Hyjal without stopping.

Whether it was the deafening shouts of killing, or the destructive power of destructive weapons and magic that wiped out thousands of lives in an instant, all of them dealt a severe shock to Dumbledore's spirit and soul.

As a centenarian who had experienced two world wars, he once thought that it was the most cruel, bloody and terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.

But now he knew he was wrong, and very wrong.

Compared with the horrific war in front of us, which has killed more than hundreds of thousands of people in just a few minutes, the two world wars can only be regarded as nursery-level.

Especially those mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the number can definitely be measured in billions.

But even so, neither side showed any intention of making concessions and continued to send troops to consume each other.

No matter how many casualties there are, the gap will be filled in the next second.

"How is it? Is it shocking?"

The lich was obviously very satisfied with the other party's reaction at the moment and asked a meaningful question.

"Is this the war Soth is fighting?"

Dumbledore only felt his mouth dry, his body sweating uncontrollably, and his heartbeat rate was at least twice as high as usual.

Because the scene that the eyes saw was too shocking.

This is a thousand or ten thousand times more exaggerated than the hell described by many religions.

But the lich smiled and shook his head: "No, the war I mentioned before is actually over. This is now just a trivial conflict, far worse than before."

"A small conflict..."

Dumbledore took a breath and suddenly realized that his previous estimate of Zuo Si was too conservative.

But that's why I'm looking forward to this meeting even more.

After all, he had too many questions and puzzles and wanted to get an accurate answer.

The lich did not stay on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal for too long. He quickly cast a teleportation spell and disappeared on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the snow-covered Storm Peaks from the Kalimdor continent.

From a distance, Dumbledore saw Zuo Si in human form and the huge red dragon standing opposite him.

"Ah! Dear Headmaster, please wait a moment. I will soon be able to reach an agreement with Queen Alexstrasza and the Red Dragon Legion she leads."

Zuo Si obviously noticed Dumbledore's arrival and took the initiative to say hello.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Dumbledore quickly waved his wand and cast a magic spell on himself that could resist the cold wind and extremely low temperatures.

After all, he was only wearing a thin robe, which was basically the same as being naked in the cold wind of minus 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Without magical protection, he would freeze to death from hypothermia in just a few minutes.

Alexstrasza was undoubtedly quite curious about Dumbledore's sudden appearance.

Because she simply couldn't understand why Zuo Si would call such a weak human being the principal.

And his attitude was very polite and showed a hint of respect.
