The caravan stayed in Myratma for four full days.

It was not until Bernard had drained all the wealth of the city and even made the nobles and chambers of commerce owe him a huge debt that he "reluctantly" moved towards his next destination.

If possible, he even hoped that every city he passed by along the way would suffer heavy losses from the siege of the monster army like this.

In this way, they can sell high and buy low, and then take the opportunity to lend money at high interest rates to earn interest.

It doesn’t matter if the family that owes the debt can’t pay it back in the end.

Bernard can also make some additional requests by postponing or reducing part of the debt.

For example, the pricing rights and exclusive operating rights of certain commodities, etc., thereby gradually controlling the trade in the city and its surrounding areas to form a monopoly.

For Amn merchants, whose commerce is extremely developed and even have a tendency to colonize overseas, these operations are like an instinct engraved in their bones.

As long as there is an opportunity, they will rush to grab benefits and wealth at all costs.

Of course, for Zuo Si, the more outstanding Bernard's business talent is, the more profit he will make from this journey.

He is not a miser like Wilmes who can only see the immediate benefits, and he will not prevent merchants from lending to local nobles and chambers of commerce.

Quite the opposite!

The shift from pure trade to finance is a more advanced and efficient way to acquire wealth.

This has been confirmed by many developed capitalist countries on Earth.

Although there are huge hidden dangers in it.

But Zuo Si didn't care.

Anyway, even if there is going to be a bombshell, it will be decades or even hundreds of years later.

By that time, he would have long since left the stage of primitive accumulation of power, and might even be able to directly use the power of sparks to acquire wealth from several different worlds.

The biggest difference between a planeswalker and an ordinary spellcaster is that from the moment the spark is ignited, they can freely travel between different planes, crystal walls, and universes.

It doesn't even cost anything.

"Sir Soth, it's getting dark soon. If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to spend the night near the ruins of Castle Texel."

The mercenary captain rode up to the caravan on horseback and announced the itinerary through the carriage window.

Ever since realizing that Zuo Si possessed the power to kill an evil red dragon without any harm, he and his mercenaries had become more respectful.

Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, the team around Zuo Si is growing stronger.

Especially after leaving Myratma, not only did the humanoid dragon Wilmes join the team, but Jahira and Khalid also joined the team.

In addition, there was a man wearing a half-breastplate and carrying the [Bow of Strong Arms] who was constantly and vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

Needless to say, this man is the long-range shooter among the LV3 human soldiers on the biological card.

As Zuo Si had previously completed the two tasks of "making five creature cards" and "increasing the total number of cards held", he got a new opportunity to draw cards.

One of them is the LV3 biological card soldier.

As for the original loyal melee soldier, due to absorbing dragon blood, his race changed from human to dragonborn, and his profession changed from warrior to knight.

Not only does the card level increase from LV3 to LV4.

And after paying the mana, dragon blood, dragon scales and +1 flaming sword required for the "job change", his image changed into a burly man wearing red dragon full body armor, holding a +2 dragon scale shield and a +2 flaming sword.

His height suddenly jumped to an astonishing 2.3 meters, and his eyes also showed vertical pupils like a wild beast.

Although his face was usually unclear because of the fully enclosed helmet he wore, any caravan member who was stared at by those eyes would immediately feel a strong sense of uneasiness and fear.

"knew."

Ever since he got this book containing countless advanced necromancy and knowledge, he would calm down and study it whenever he had free time.

Among them, the [Rotten Cyst Swelling] series of spells, as well as the [Summon Undead] from the first to the fifth ring, or the [Enhance Void Body] and [Undead Lieutenant], all made Zuo Si feel like his eyes were opened.

The principle of the [Swelling Cyst] series of spells is very simple. It is to use magical power to instantly implant the horrible cysts that often appear on undead creatures into the bodies of living creatures.

By manipulating cysts, releasing terrible negative energy and various viruses and bacteria, it causes continuous damage to the target.

The biggest feature of this series of spells is that they do not require a very high casting level.

All it takes is a few second or third level spell slots to successfully create quite a terrifying effect.

[Summoning the Undead] of the first to fifth rings allows low-level mages to summon powerful undead creatures to assist them in battle.

This exclusive necromancy spell can summon skeleton warriors from the first level; the second level is upgraded to bugbear zombies; the third level ogre zombies are a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change;

As for the fourth-ring pterosaur zombie, the fifth-ring mummy, and vampire derivative, each one is a "big killer".

If you don't encounter a high-level priest or paladin, you can easily slaughter a team of fully armed soldiers just by summoning creatures.

Add to that the inherent characteristics of undead creatures and the ability to restore vitality during negative energy spells.

It can be said that [Summon the Undead] is at least one level stronger than the [Summon Monster] series spells of the same level.

In comparison, the third-ring magic [Enhance the Void] is slightly inferior, but it can also greatly strengthen undead creatures such as ghosts and wraiths.

At this stage, the biggest use is naturally to enhance the combat effectiveness of the shadow servant Yelnia.

And the last one, [Undead Lieutenant], is definitely one of the essential spells for playing the “Sea of ​​the Undead” tactics.

Its function is to select a relatively advanced undead creature and promote it to be the commander of the entire undead army.

At that time, the spellcaster only needs to control this commander to indirectly control hundreds of undead creatures.

When it comes to the use of the spell [Undead Lieutenant], the red-robed mages of the Undead faction of Sel are very experienced.

They would even gather skeletons and zombies together for agricultural production, so that their country would not only have more food than it can eat, but could also sell large quantities to other countries for profit.

Of course, if you think about it from another perspective, these tireless undead farming armies are a form of “hiding troops among the people.”

After all, as long as there is a need, they can be pulled to the battlefield and used as cannon fodder at any time.

There is no doubt that no matter the spells, magic rituals, or methods of creating and awakening various advanced undead creatures recorded in the Book of the Dead, they all exude a strong evil tendency.

The materials used to cast some of these spells are definitely enough to subvert the three views of normal people.

If you become obsessed with this for a long time, it won't be long before your mind and thinking are irreversibly distorted, and you'll end up on a path of no return.

fortunately!

As the level of the planeswalker continues to increase, Zuo Si now has more and more methods at his disposal and is no longer completely dependent on necromancy magic.

When the caravan began to stop and set up camp, he closed the Book of the Dead and walked out of the carriage to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the evening.

Especially the ruins of Castle Tessel in the distance, which were overgrown with weeds and vines.

Just as Zuo Si was about to move closer, Jaheira suddenly came over from the dense grass and said, "I just went to investigate the ruins of Castle Tassel and found some unusual traces."

"Oh? Robbers or monsters?" Zuo Si asked with interest.

With the two trump cards of Wilmes, the red dragon and the iron golem, he no longer cares much about ordinary bandits and monster tribes.

Because no matter how many of these guys come, they will be slaughtered mercilessly and will not cause any trouble at all.
