It has to be said that Rhett's almost brutal and rough interrogation method against the orcs was indeed quite effective.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, the orc leader quickly and honestly confessed all the information he knew, not daring to hide anything.
When Zuo Si learned that the red dragon that commanded the entire army of monsters was named Wilmes, the expression on his face was as wonderful as it could be.
He could not believe in his dreams that Wilmes, who was separated due to the exhaustion of energy in the portal, would reunite in such a "dramatic" way.
"Why did Wilmes attack Mailatma and its surrounding villages and towns?" Zuo Si continued to ask with some confusion.
Although red dragons are generally greedy and cruel by nature, they are not brainless.
Such a move, in which an army of tens of thousands of monsters were brought to besiege a city and were so crazy as to directly cut off the trade routes and loot all the caravans and travelers in sight along the way, would 100% attract encirclement and suppression from the forces of the good camp.
No matter how much internal strife there is in the Kingdom of Tethyr and how much wars there are between lords, it is still a country after all.
It is also one of the largest kingdoms in terms of land area.
It is definitely not a big problem to put together one or two adventure teams with the ability to slay dragons.
What's more, for the five-colored evil dragons, the biggest enemy is always their own kind from the good camp - the metal dragon.
Those silver and gold dragons would be very happy to unite with their human, dwarf, and elf friends to once and for all eradicate the evil red dragon that poses a huge threat to the surrounding towns.
The orc leader shook his head slightly: "I don't know.
For some reason, Master Wilmes has become particularly irritable and angry since he came back.
Several chiefs had been killed by her before because they failed to perform their duties.
And the death was very miserable, with the entire upper part of the head crushed.
The brain and brain matter inside are gone..."
"Wait! You said the brain and brain matter are gone?"
Zuo Si's expression changed slightly, and he grasped the most crucial part.
"Yes. Many people are saying that after the master came back, he seemed to have developed a habit of eating human brains.
Every few days, there is such an unlucky victim.
Not only that, she didn't seem to like treasure as much as before.
Instead, we were asked to find a human cub about ten years old with black hair and black eyes.
Eh——
You...you have black hair and black eyes!"
The orc leader suddenly raised his head and stared at Zuo Si with his eyes wide open, his face full of excitement and surprise.
"That's right! I am the target that your red dragon master wants to find. But unfortunately, you know too much, and people who know too much usually don't live long."
After saying this, Zuo Si winked at the orc beside him.
Rhett didn't waste any time, he swung the heavy double-edged axe and swept across to behead the man.
Poof! The orc leader's head was chopped off on the spot, flew more than ten meters away, and rolled down the hillside.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud after spurting out a large amount of blood.
As the last enemy fell, there were no living monsters left on the battlefield littered with corpses.
No matter whether it was the cannon fodder goblins who rushed to the front, or the orcs and gnolls who were the main force, they were all caught up and killed by the Shadow Legion, soldiers and Alena.
Only a few fast-running wolves managed to escape.
At the same time, the magical energy and life energy generated after death were also quickly absorbed by Zuo Si.
As a planeswalker's level increases, the area he can cover when absorbing energy becomes wider and wider.
There is no need anymore to have close contact as before in order to absorb all the magic energy and life energy to the maximum extent.
When a large amount of mana was invested in the Planeswalker profession, the profession level was finally raised from LV4 to LV5.
Not only that!
As a "by-product", life energy also broke through the critical point, making Zuo Si feel that several basic attributes of his body had been greatly improved.
To confirm this, he quickly summoned "Legacy" to check his attribute panel.
[Name: Zuo Si (Sos)]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: 8+3 (11)]
[Agility: 11+5 (16)]
【Constitution: 10+6 (16)】
[Perception: 14+3 (17)]
[Intelligence: 17+5 (22)]
【Charm: 11】
[Mana Pool: 173/250]
[Currently effective land card: 1]
[Spark Level: 5]
【Profession】
[Planeswalker - LV5 (Upgrading to the next level requires 10,000 general magic points, or double the magic points of other attributes)]
[Creator (Mimicry Effect)——LV9 (Upgrading to the next level requires 9000 points of general magic or double other types of magic, the upper limit is LV15)]
[Mage (Mimicry Effect)——LV5 (Upgrading to the next level requires 5000 points of general magic power or double other types of magic power, the upper limit is LV17)]
"Huh? My basic strength, physique, and perception attributes increased by 2 points at once? What's going on?"
Zuo Si was completely shocked by this sudden "surprise".
Because the basic attributes represent the most realistic physical condition before all magical equipment is removed and the mage profession is strengthened by absorbing life energy.
His pitiful strength and physical attributes showed from a certain perspective that his body had not yet grown into an adult.
But now, it has suddenly risen to the average level of adults, which is a bit unbelievable.
In comparison, a slight improvement in strength, physique and perception within brackets is completely within a reasonable range.
After all, since entering the desert, Zuo Si has experienced a lot of battles and fights.
Especially for those guys who can cast divine arts, generally speaking, their perception attribute will not be too low, and it should be improved a little bit after accumulation.
As for the extra two points of intelligence, they were provided by the Io stone floating above the head.
Strange! So strange!
Just when Zuo Si was at a loss for words, the orc Rhett beside him finally couldn't help but cautiously asked, "Master, do you know the red dragon named Wilmes?"
"More than just knowing each other. She and I are the closest allies."
Zuo Si raised his head and gave the other person a meaningful look.
From what I heard, the red dragon seemed to be eating the brains of intelligent creatures, while at the same time trying its best to find itself.
He realized that the terrifying creature awakened by the Creator profession must have gone out of control.
You must know that without the constraints of the creator, the awakened creatures will only act according to their instincts.
This means that the strange creature will satisfy its nutritional needs by devouring the consciousness in the gray matter of the brains of intelligent creatures, just like the mind flayer, while constantly enhancing its own psychic power.
"Ally?! You mean... that red dragon is one of ours?" Rhett opened his mouth in shock.
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Zuo Si placed his right index finger on his lips as a gesture to keep quiet.
"Remember, keep this matter secret and don't mention it to anyone. Next, I have to think carefully about how to settle the mess that Wilmes has created."
"Understood! I swear I won't tell anyone about it."
The Orc warrior nodded vigorously and suppressed his curiosity.
He really wanted to know how Zuo Si turned a powerful adult red dragon into an ally, and what happened between the man and the dragon.
But unfortunately, Zuo Si didn't want to explain, so he had to let it go.
Rhett didn't want to be like the corpse lying on the ground, who was silenced because he knew too many secrets that he shouldn't know.
