Because when he was about to degenerate into a fertilized egg, the other party used powerful magical powers to pull him out of that unknown space, and also taught him countless knowledge and experiences, which eventually led him to the path of magic.
He fully fulfilled the duties of a qualified "mentor".
But at the same time, Asta also forced Zuo Si to do many things that went against his personal wishes.
For example, dissecting corpses and living people, or being thrown into remote mazes, tombs and wilderness to participate in dangerous and deadly trials.
Some people even maliciously guide them towards the special profession of creator, which cannot cast spells.
Through these almost cruel methods, Asta forced Zuo Si to abandon many of the habits he had developed in modern society, especially the laziness, weakness and kindness in human nature, and subverted his character and behavior patterns.
The most representative of these are strong utilitarianism and pragmatism.
For a while, Zuo Si was deliberately planning to find an opportunity to kill this "mentor".
But in the end, the matter ended in nothing because of the other party's cautious character.
It's clear that Asta has never really trusted anyone but himself.
He truly took the saying "A mage can only rely on himself" to the end.
After deciding to start transforming into a lich, in order to avoid possible troubles and enemies, he secretly ran to the continent of Faerun alone to complete the entire ceremony.
Even Zuo Si, who was fooled, had to admit that Asta was a true and perfect example of a wizard.
Just like that, the two of them maintained a certain degree of mutual vigilance and entered this building which looked like an ordinary house in the slums on the surface, but in fact the interior had long been converted into a magic laboratory. They sat together and talked for about an hour.
During this period, Zuo Si told the other party everything that happened after he left the floating city tower, and how he became the chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.
Because he knew that there was no point in lying to the great necromancer in front of him.
In return, Asta recounted his experience of coming to Amn and choosing to settle in Askatra.
He even did not hide the fact that he had joined the Emerald Society, a secret organization that was fighting against the Masked Mages Guild's monopoly on arcane power.
Since the moment he decided to come to Faerun, the Great Necromancer had given up the idea of going back and planned to integrate into the magic system of the new world.
Because he understood that this apprentice was no longer the same as before. He was no longer the "little guy" who could be manipulated by him, but a chosen one favored by the gods.
Sufficient sincerity must be shown in order to eliminate the dissatisfaction and resentment that have accumulated between the two in the past and finally reach a cooperation agreement.
Yes!
Asta wants to cooperate with Zuo Si on equal terms, to explore and adapt to this world with gods and a larger magical background.
In fact, he had been secretly observing Zuo Si for several days, and today he finally found an opportunity to contact him without alerting other people or forces.
"So your body has been hiding and carrying viruses and bacteria from your original world? And they have mutated under the influence of magic?
Why did it suddenly break out after a year and a half? Why weren't you infected by the viruses and bacteria of the new world?
This is obviously not common sense.
I think there are other reasons.”
Asta frowned and expressed the doubts in his heart.
As a top necromancer, he had conducted in-depth research on the plague, and even used the plague to kill a large nomadic tribe with a total population of over 100,000.
So it is very clear that the limits of mutation that can occur when things like viruses and bacteria are directly exposed to magical energy.
Zuo Si shrugged helplessly: "You ask me, how would I know.
Everything happened so suddenly and so quickly that at first I didn't even realize it was my fault.
By the time they noticed it, the entire floating city was already littered with corpses, with large numbers of corpses affected by negative energy turning into zombies wandering the streets.
I could only get a slight idea of the situation by dissecting the bodies of dead creatures.
The next step is to confirm whether you are still contagious.”
"What about now? What about the viruses and bacteria in your body?" Asta asked with interest.
“My body is like a furnace right now, being injected by the goddess into it with all the viruses, bacteria and toxic substances in this world.
As long as a little bit of divine power is integrated, it can be transformed into pure energy to kill all living things.
If you want to research this, give up the idea as soon as possible.
Because divine power is not any known kind of magical energy, it is more like something born from the fusion of spirit, will, philosophy, belief and rules.
Even just a tiny bit can produce unparalleled power and destructive force.
Besides, I don’t take my own life lightly.”
Zuo Si bluntly put an end to the other party's delusion.
On the one hand, it is too dangerous to do so, and there are not many mortals in the entire Faerun who have conducted research in this area, so for safety reasons it is better to slowly use sparks to transform.
On the other hand, he was fed up with being the other party's guinea pig.
But Asta did not give up and continued to try to seduce him, saying, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? If we can figure out the nature of the power of these gods and what kind of beings they are, we can also become one of the gods."
"Become one of the gods?"
Zuo Si pursed his lips, revealing naked and undisguised contempt.
“Sorry, I’m not interested in becoming a god.
Moreover, you don’t even know what God is, so why do you think you have such qualifications and confidence?
Dear mentor, I am no longer the apprentice who allows myself to be manipulated by you, so I hope you can realize this as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I don't mind using a few deaths to wake you up.
By the way, let me remind you that you should never think that becoming a lich will give you true immortality.
In fact, finding the life box is not as difficult as you might think."
"Is this a threat?" Asta's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
Because when they were in the tower of the floating city, no one had ever dared to speak to him in this tone and attitude.
Zuo Si stood up directly and responded with a sneer, "Threat? No, I'm just advising you to give up your original arrogance.
This world is much more dangerous than you think, and there are countless things that can crush you like a bug.
Of course, if you really want to try, I'm always available.
But once the battle begins, it will end with the death of one of us.
Fighting means killing, fighting means dying, and you taught me that."
As the last word fell, the surrounding environment and air suddenly became tense and depressing.
Especially the Grand Necromancer Asta, he never dreamed that the apprentice who once obeyed him so well seemed to have become a different person after just a few months of not seeing him.
He exudes a strong sense of confidence and a chilling aura of danger.
Most importantly, he had no idea about divine power and the chosen people.
In other words, there are few people in the entire continent of Faerun who truly understand it.
After all, the number of voters is very small.
In addition, most of them are priests, and they don’t even have the courage and guts to study divine power.
It is estimated that only a few legendary wizard voters of the Goddess of Magic have some understanding of this, not to mention the relevant books and research notes.
Even someone like Elminster, who had studied the power of "Silver Fire" in depth and even temporarily kept the power and priesthood of the dead goddess of magic as the First Chosen One during the turbulent years, would not share his research results with anyone.
Therefore, Asta had no idea what kind of power Zuo Si, as a chosen one, would unleash.
He wasn't even sure if he would be reborn next to the life box after his body was destroyed by divine power.
The two of them confronted each other for about three to five minutes, and the Great Necromancer suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha! This is incredible! The apprentice who showed extraordinary obedience in the high tower of the floating city was indeed the disguise you used to protect yourself when you were weak.
Now the unruly and ruthless Soth is his hidden nature.
You know what? When you said you were going to kill me, the look in your eyes and the momentum were impressive.
Congratulations, my dear apprentice, you can finally graduate.
From now on, I will treat you as an equal to my fellow spellcasters."
"Should I feel honored?" Zuo Si asked with a sneer.
"No need. I just want you to understand that in this strange world, you and I come from the same place, so we are natural allies. There is no need to make things unpleasant because of some trivial things in the past."
Asta tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
After all, he came to meet Zuo Si at the risk of being exposed not to make an enemy.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si didn't buy it and immediately shook his head meaningfully: "No. It may be strange to you, but it's not the case for me.
I know more about this world than you can imagine.
So whatever you want from me, you have to pay the price.
As for forming an alliance, forget it.
Because people like you who only believe in yourself are not trustworthy at all."
There is no doubt that Zuo Si's almost indifferent attitude made Asta completely lose the last bit of his sense of superiority. He even became a little angry and said with a cold face: "Are you sure you want to treat me this way? You know, I am the only one who knows your true origins."
"So what? Do you think it can be used as a handle?
Don't be silly! My dear mentor.
There are so many travelers from other dimensions in the continent of Faerun that it is hard to count them.
Elves, orcs, mind flayers, beholders, demons, devils, djinn, rakshasa, elementals, celestials, githyanki, dragons...
Even the God of Knowledge, the God of Justice, the Elf Pantheon, the Orc Pantheon, and the Human Mulan Pantheon all come from other worlds."
Zuo Si opened his arms and taunted the necromancer.
Because he knew very well that under the rules of Faerun's magic network, the once powerful necromancer who was so intimidating could no longer cast all the magic he knew as he did before.
Instead, one must abide by the rules of this world, convert mana into spell slots by contacting the magic network, and then memorize and use them.
If Zuo Si strengthened his power as a planeswalker in this process, then Asta was hit hard by a blow, and both his spellcasting ability and the number of spells he mastered were greatly weakened.
Especially some super-nine-ring spells, they must be re-studied and converted into "legendary magic" form before they can be used.
This process is definitely not something that can be completed in a few months.
Even for a lich that doesn't need sleep or rest, it would take at least six months to three to five years.
In addition, various super magic skills such as "instant spell casting", "delayed spell casting", "silent spell casting", "powerful spell casting" and "extreme spell casting" also require time and energy to learn.
So far, Zuo Si himself has only learned one spell, "spell delay".
Therefore, he was confident that in a head-on battle, with the number of cards he had, he could defeat and kill his former mentor in one go.
What's more, when fighting in Askatla, Zuo Si has the home advantage, that is, he has a permanent spellcasting license, while Asta does not.
Once the house is destroyed and the magic is exposed outdoors, the masked wizard will immediately appear and join the battle.
At that time, it will no longer be a fair one-on-one contest, but a "just fight" between a group of people and one person.
Asta has lived in this city for a long time, so of course he couldn't be unaware of the rule in the City of Gold that prohibits the casting of arcane magic outdoors, so he quickly suppressed his urge to take action.
With the lich's absolutely cold and rational characteristics, he successfully controlled his emotions and directly revealed his trump card: "Don't you want to know where the special space that makes your body degenerate into a child is?"
"Oh? You knew?"
Zuo Si's expression finally showed a hint of emotion.
Because he had always wanted to figure out where he was inexplicably teleported to when he first ignited the spark.
Based on his current knowledge of the multiverse, planes, and crystal walls, he can almost confirm that it is neither the "astral plane" nor the "etheric plane", nor any other known planes and spaces.
"I'm not sure either. But I found some very interesting residues on the clothes you took off. I believe you will be interested. And the viruses and bacteria that suddenly mutated in your body may be closely related to this mysterious substance."
As he spoke, Asta took out a sealed crystal bottle as thick as a finger from his laboratory bench.
On the inner wall of time, one can vaguely see a little gray smoke and a small number of tiny particles emitting dark purple light.
"Is this the remnant you collected from my clothes?"
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be uncertain.
He has discovered that the remaining gray smoke is the "culprit" that caused his body and age to become smaller.
Asta replied with a half-smile: "Yes! I call it the Chaos Factor.
Because these residues can cause irregular and unpredictable random mutations in anything they touch, whether it is a person or an object.
To be honest, it's a miracle that you survived.
I once ordered a slave to inhale a little bit of gas, and his body expanded rapidly in less than a few minutes, turning into a behemoth of several dozen meters.
Not only did its size increase, but its race also underwent a fundamental change, becoming like a wild beast without any intelligence.
Its powerful regenerative ability can restore a destroyed heart or shattered head to its original state.
It took me a lot of effort to kill it.
Of course, this was just one of dozens of experiments.
In addition, some experimental subjects turned into metals, plants, rocks, burning flames, or even suddenly aged and died.
The most interesting one even showed a strange scene where the soul was separated from the body but still alive.
Unfortunately, the amount of these residues is too small to conduct too many experiments.
What you are seeing now is the last remaining copy.”
"What do I need to pay if I want to get it?" Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
There is no doubt that this remnant is of extraordinary significance to him, and it is also the only clue that can solve the doubts in his heart.
"I want the magical knowledge of this world, all the information about the magic network, and all the spells you currently master. In addition to that, you must also provide a list of powerful spellcasters in this world that need extra attention, including their detailed information."
Asta opened his mouth directly and exaggerates.
Zuo Si immediately rejected these requests without hesitation: "You are dreaming! I will never agree to such a completely unequal transaction."
"So you don't want what's in this bottle?" Asta threatened with a chuckle.
"Of course I want it. But the problem is, you overestimate how important this thing is to me. And... I now have a better idea, which is to just rob it."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si suddenly activated a scroll hidden in his wide sleeves.
moment!
Asta was hit by the [Dimension Anchor] and was completely unable to use any means of teleportation.
The next second...
Zuo Si directly activated the four [Advanced Strike Against Undead] cards and four [Scorching Glory (a three-ring divine spell that gathers sacred energy like the sun to burn the target, with higher additional damage to undead creatures)] that were tightly held in his other hand.
Before the Grand Necromancer could react, he was surrounded by dazzling positive energy rays, instantly causing shocking damage to the lich's body filled with negative energy.
You should know that for all spells made into cards, the damage limit is directly linked to the level of the mage, not the mage's professional level.
This means that, given that the current level of the Planeswalker is as high as LV7, the power of any damaging spell will increase exponentially.
Although the [Accidental Technique] was immediately triggered on the latter, a layer of silver reflective energy sphere immediately enveloped Asta.
It's a pity that this fourth-level protective magic [Secondary Spell Invalidation Barrier] that can block first to third-level spell attacks takes effect too slowly.
Through the magic barrier, one can clearly see that the necromancer's lich body has been severely damaged.
Some people's skin and muscles, which originally looked no different from those of normal people, suffered large areas of ulceration, and even the bones inside were broken.
Especially the face, one of the eyeballs in the eye socket was completely blown out, and the other one was connected to the optic nerve and drooped to the side of the nose, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
Without a doubt!
With just one strike, Zuo Si almost killed this powerful necromancer whom he had only looked up to.
In just a few seconds, his entire body was flashing with arcane light that could blind a person's eyes.
Zuo Si did not have the slightest intention of stopping him. Instead, he stood there and let the other party finish all the protection. Then he said expressionlessly, "Last chance. Give me what you have in your hand. Otherwise, I will kill you, then find your life box and destroy it. Don't forget, I am the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease. I can get the information and clues I need by asking the goddess directly."
"Damn it! What spell did you use just now? Why didn't the [Accident Spell] I set up have time to react?" Asta asked gritting his teeth.
As a newly born lich, it was the first time for him to experience being attacked by a positive energy spell that restrained undead creatures.
那种无法用语言形容的痛苦,当场唤醒了内心深处对于死亡的恐惧。
“【高等打击死灵】和【灼热光辉】,两个微不足道的三环魔法。感觉如何?是不是觉得自己距离死亡只差最后一步?”左思嘴角微微上扬。
说实话,对于阿斯塔能够承受四张【高等打击死灵】和【灼热光辉】卡牌的伤害,他也是稍微有点吃惊。
因为正常情况下,大部分巫妖在挨上这一下之后,估计连骨头都得化成灰。
但对方却仅仅只是重伤濒死,竟然还剩下一口气。
八成是某些强大魔法物品抵消了一部分伤害。
当然,这已经对最终结果没有任何影响了。
接下来左思只需要一发【公羊之戒】就能将其直接带走。
“原来如此!你已经掌握了专门针对不死生物的魔法,所以才敢扬言说能干掉我。”
阿斯塔语气中充满了强烈的警惕跟忌惮。
更重要的是,左思的成长速度远远超出了他所能想象的极限。
而且他根本不清楚眼前这个曾经的学徒还掌握着怎样的底牌。
“你教导过我,有准备的法师是不可战胜的。
可能说起来你不会相信,我这些日子为了对付另外一个巫妖,准备了相当多的手段。
谁能想到,今天居然用在了导师你的身上。
不得不说,这还真是命运的安排。
现在请选择吧。
是交出原本属于我的东西,还是今天死在这里,赌一把我能不能在你完成复活前找到命匣。”
左思面带微笑的下达了最后通牒。
从目光和神态不难分辨出,他此刻非常享受这种把昔日高高在上的死灵大法师逼进死角的感觉。
因为对方当初也是这么逼他的。
“我怎么相信你在拿到东西后不会突然翻脸?”阿斯塔死死捏着手中那个瓶子质问。
左思摊了摊手回答道:“你没有选择的余地。
还记得当初你第一次把我丢进一座古墓,让我独自一人在遍布着机关、陷阱和死灵生物的迷宫中找到出口时,都说过些什么吗?
你说强者支配弱者是这个世界永恒不变的真理。
如果不想被支配,那就变得比你更强,然后我就可以反过来支配你。”
阿斯塔瞬间僵住了,用难以置信的口吻说道:“所以你现在是在报复我曾经对你做过的一些?”
“别误会,这不是报复。
说实话,我其实非常感谢你强迫我不断变得冷漠、无情。
不然的话,我恐怕很难活到现在。
所以这不是在报复你,而是在通过这样的方式来感谢你。
让你明白此刻的我变得有多么优秀,就如同你当初期待的那样。
你不是一直在说,希望能有一名学徒能成功杀死你么? 我只不过是在实现你的愿望而已……”
在说这番话的时候,左思手上那枚供养戒指猛然间亮了起来。
眼见左思有要继续动手的意思,阿斯塔立马把手里的瓶子扔出去,然后自己转身便朝房间后面那个用来逃命的秘门跑去。
由于无法施展任何传送魔法,因此他直接启动脚上那双【速度之靴】的力量,整个人快到就如同百米冲刺的世界冠军一样。
但遗憾的是,在他刚刚触碰到秘门开关的刹那,一个由能量构成的羊头从后面狠狠撞了上去。
砰! 死灵法师立刻便感觉到自己的身体像是被攻城锤砸了一下,双脚瞬间离地砸向前方的墙壁。
尽管身上加持了许多防护能量和物理伤害的魔法,但却并没有力场防护法术。
结果就是他当场被公羊之戒打断了颈椎和头骨。
尚未腐烂干涸的血液、脑浆顿时四散飞溅,把墙壁和地面彻底染红。
至于另外一边的左思,轻轻松松释放了一个零环的【法师之手】,稳稳将阿斯塔故意扔到身后的瓶子接住。
等做完这一切,他才漫不经心的评价道:“我亲爱的导师,来到这个世界之后你果然变弱了呢。
没有了可以随意施展的高阶法术;
没有了那些精心制造出来的强大亡灵生物和构装体;
没有了引以为傲的超魔技巧; 就连法师塔都被这简陋的魔法实验室索取代。
最重要的是,你还如此的贪婪,想要像以前那样来压榨我。
既然这样,那就让我来送你上路吧。
毕竟能被自己最优秀的学徒杀死,可是作为导师的至高荣誉呢。”
说完这句话,左思再次掏出了小魔鬼的卡牌,并支付法力值将其召唤出来。
眨眼功夫,这个邪恶的小东西就再次出现。
不过与上一次的“祖安”问候不同,它看起来老实了很多,而且以一种非常卑微的姿态跪在地上。
“我需要你的通神术!”左思毫不客气的说出了要求。
“如您所愿,我伟大、邪恶、冷酷、残忍且无情的主人。”
小魔鬼赶忙从地上爬起来,迅速开始吟唱咒语并做着复杂的施法动作。
没过多久,它的瞳孔就开始扩散,呈现出跟上次一模一样的空洞无神。
“巫妖阿斯塔的命匣在这栋房子里吗?”
有过一次使用【通神术】经验的左思直截了当提出了问题。
“是!”
小魔鬼立马给出肯定答复。
“果然跟我预料中的一样。”
左思忍不住露出玩味的表情。
因为阿斯塔有不信任任何人的习惯,因此他只会把命匣藏在自己能够看到并及时进行保护的地方。
再加上初来乍到,他能选择的位置非常少。
不出意外的话应该就藏在自己的住所内。
得到这个重要的情报后,左思立刻将这个经过改造的魔法实验室分成几个区域,紧跟着借助【通神术】一个一个的排除。
最终他成功将范围缩小到了位于最顶层的阁楼。
随着一个二环法术【侦测密门】,两个三环法术【物品定位术】、【识破隐形】成功被释放。
左思几乎没费什么力气,就在头顶看上去什么都没有的空气中,取下一个透明的密封箱子。
很显然,为了更好的隐藏命匣,阿斯塔不仅在箱子上恒定了【隐形术】,而且还将其摆放在非常容易被忽略的视觉死角。
不过左思并没有选择自己打开这个箱子,而是施展了一个【敲击术】搞定魔法锁,然后对跟在屁股后面的小魔鬼吩咐道:“去,打开它。”
听到这句话,小魔鬼立刻下的从地上跳了起来,大声尖叫道:“主人!我这次可没犯错!你不能让我去送死!那个该死的箱子,一看就知道设置了威力惊人的魔法陷阱。”
不用问也知道,这家伙刚才偷偷释放了一个【侦测魔法】,能够看到盒子上那刺眼的奥术灵光。
“放松,你又不是真的会死掉。”左思不怀好意的笑着安慰道。
“不!不!不!我不想再体会那种糟糕的感觉了。您还是召唤个骷髅或者别的什么干这种危险的活吧。毕竟相比起它们,我还是更有用一些的。”
小魔鬼拼命摇晃着脑袋摆出一副可怜兮兮的模样。
自从意识到自己目前的状态后,它便再也提不起半点反抗的心思,就如同面对那些强大的高级魔鬼时一模一样。
欺软怕硬的性格早已深深刻进了这个邪恶生物的骨子里。
“既然如此,那我就给你一次机会。记住,如果你再敢玩什么小花招,亦或是阳奉阴违,那么我保证会把你扔进装满液态银的罐子里闷死。”
说罢,左思迅速完成《死者之书》上的一环【召唤亡灵】。
只见一个召唤法阵突然凭空出现在地面上。
紧跟着一名手持利刃的人类骷髅战士从里边走了出来。
由于是没有什么智力的低级亡灵,因此它马上便在召唤者的驱使下走向箱子,用斧头掀开了箱子的盖。
瞬间!
一道强大的能量射线直接从盒子里飞出,当中击中骷髅战士的身体。
后者连一秒钟都撑住,整个身体便化作一滩粉末。
六环魔法【解离术】! 左思惊讶的挑起了眉毛。
要知道把这个高级魔法设置成触发陷阱,可不是一件容易的事情。
看来阿斯塔在保护自己命匣方面,的确是下了血本。
而且凡是被【解离术】击中的倒霉蛋,无论是自己还是身上的装备,都会统统在一刹那被彻底分解成粉末。
其惊人的杀伤力和破坏力,尤其是对心理上造成的打击,丝毫不逊于有着“敌我皆哭”之称的九环【大裂解】。
与此同时,一旁的小魔鬼在看到骷髅战士的下场后,立刻被吓得打个哆嗦。
刚才如果不是拼命装可怜,现在变成粉末的就应该是它了。
Just as this evil little thing was secretly rejoicing, Zuo Si summoned a second skeleton warrior again to open the box and took out the life box inside that was emitting dazzling arcane light.
As expected, the moment the life box was taken out, the box instantly burst out with astonishing negative energy.
If the undead creatures were not immune to negative energy, this blow would at least be able to kill or severely injure a giant with strong vitality like a giant.
After successfully obtaining Asta's life box, Zuo Si did not even hesitate and immediately took out a magic adamantium hammer that was powerful enough to destroy it. He then summoned an ogre and ordered him to use the hammer to hit the life box hard.
After a few hits, this little gadget, which was as hard as refined gold, was finally smashed into pieces.
Yes!
The lich's life box is actually not as easy to destroy as others imagine.
Especially in the absence of high-level spellcasters, not only a warrior with immense strength is needed, but also a magic weapon with a hardness comparable to that of refined gold.
For most adventurers, this is a treasure that is hard to come by.
Finally, accompanied by a shrill scream of soul collapse, Asta finally disappeared from this world completely.
The astonishing magical energy bursting out from the life box was all absorbed without exception.
Zuo Si, who had accomplished the feat of “killing his master” himself, looked at the broken life box in his hand and said with a slightly emotional tone: “Farewell, dear mentor.
In fact, it was a mistake for you to step through the portal and come to this world, a huge mistake.
The magic network not only weakens and limits your power, but also makes you extremely uncomfortable with the new way of casting spells.
If it was in the floating city tower, I would be the loser."
Without a doubt!
The reason why Zuo Si was able to successfully kill his teacher was mainly due to the planeswalker's card system, which enabled him to launch a sudden sneak attack without any warning.
It is estimated that Asta never figured out to the end how he could instantly release a large amount of [Advanced Undead Strikes] and [Scorching Glory] with astonishing lethality against undead creatures without chanting any spells or performing any spellcasting.
They might even mistake it for a special ability bestowed by God on the chosen people.
As for making the Archnecromancer into a biological card like the Dragon Lich, it is impossible to do so with Zuo Si's current level of planeswalker.
What's more, Asta has the dignity and pride of a wizard and will never become a puppet controlled by others just to survive.
In fact, it is very, very difficult to force a creature with a strong rebellious spirit and will into a card.
Especially since high-level undead like liches are not susceptible to mind control, and low-level necromancy magic has very limited effect on them, destroying the life box naturally becomes the only option.
After recovering some of the materials from the broken life box, Zuo Si began to search the house for everything of value.
Especially the magic robe, staff, ring, amulet, belt, boots of speed on Asta's body, and the [Scroll of Commanding the Undead] in the scroll box...
You have to know that what he has on him are all high-end stuff, many of which are things Zuo Si has been coveting for a long time.
In addition, the notes and books on the bookshelves and the treasures in the basement were also swept away.
Only those experimental instruments that could not be moved away temporarily were left behind.
Among these notes and books, Zuo Si surprisingly found a spell book made by Asta himself. There were only less than forty magic spells on it, and the highest one was only seven rings.
Needless to say, this once extremely powerful necromancer did not have enough time to convert and copy down all the spells he mastered. He only converted a small part of them.
If he is given another one or two years, it is still unclear who will win.
"Master, what are you going to do with this house?" the little devil asked cautiously.
Zuo Si stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then immediately replied, "Well - just leave it here and don't move it.
Asta had said that he had joined a secret organization of spellcasters called the Emerald Cabal, and I was mildly intrigued by that.
In addition, this magic laboratory is located in the slums, which is also a good base and may come in handy in the future.
By the way, you and the ogre should stay here and guard the place, and don’t let those thieves get close.”
"Understood! I swear I will never let those damn thieves steal anything." The little devil promised solemnly.
“Remember not to let the residents around you discover you. After all, in Amn, ogres and demons are not protected by the law. Once exposed, guards, masked wizards, and paladins of the Burning Heart Knights will soon come to your door.”
Zuo Si issued a warning in a very serious tone.
"Please rest assured, I will use invisibility to hide when necessary, and I will never be discovered. As for that big fool, it is better to let him hide in the basement."
The little devil glanced at the ogre with great contempt.
However, the latter's intelligence was too low and he didn't realize that the other party was scolding him.
After arranging everything, Zuo Si used magic to communicate and asked Davidian and Huntington, who stayed in the house, to be responsible for transporting the spoils.
As for himself, he returned the same way and continued to stay in the Bronze Crown Inn to gather information.
After this successful experience of an unsportsmanlike sneak attack, Zuo Si suddenly realized that the lich was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined.
As long as you are fast enough and release enough lethal spell cards in one breath before the opponent can react, you can successfully "kill" him instantly.
It doesn't give the opponent any chance to activate protective spells or use magic items.
The only problem is that Zuo Si must ensure that he takes the initiative.
Otherwise, once the [Spell Invalidation Barrier] is put on, he may not have any good solution with his current spellcasting level.
In addition, items like [Ring of the Ram] that provide pure force field damage are much more effective than expected in battles between spellcasters.
If used well, it can completely interrupt the opponent's most critical spellcasting, or even push them further away, and then bombard them directly with fireballs.
