Just like the name suggests, the so-called "Book of Demons" does not refer to a single book, but to all such books produced and written by powerful demons.
These books usually have one thing in common, which is that they record a large number of methods of gaining powerful power by making sacrifices to demons or the Abyss itself.
As long as mortals can't resist the temptation, their souls will be controlled by these powerful demons, and they may even become slaves who obey their orders.
This is how many warlock families come from.
They serve powerful and evil demons as their masters in exchange for the power of darkness, evil, and filth.
Some of the Demonic Books were even written by some not-so-famous Abyss Lords, and even mages could learn some powerful spells from them.
In addition, he can summon various powerful demons to serve or fight for him.
Therefore, even though the "Book of Demons" is considered a taboo in many places and will be immediately destroyed and sealed by the church of the good gods once discovered, it still has a very high value.
Especially the one in Zuo Si's hand, which contains dozens of "blasphemous words" that can have a wide-ranging impact on all life.
This is a language that contains powerful magical power.
Some can cause a strong dizziness effect, some can make those who hear it feel extremely weak, some can paralyze the target for up to ten minutes, and some are so powerful that they can directly kill a creature or even destroy entire groups of undead creatures in an instant.
In addition, "blasphemous words" are very restraining to summoned creatures, and can expel them back to their original plane, preventing them from coming back within at least one day.
"How about it, how much is this book worth?" asked the dwarf thief curiously.
It was obvious that he had no idea what the book was, and he just took it out to have it appraised "for free" with a try-it attitude.
This means that Zuo Si's offer cannot be too low, otherwise the other party may take it back.
But at the same time, the price cannot be too high, otherwise the adventure team will inevitably realize the true value of the "Book of Demons".
So he pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "To be honest, I don't understand what the mysterious symbols in this book mean. But considering that they do contain magical power, I will buy it for one thousand gold coins."
"One thousand gold coins? That sounds like a good deal. What do you think?"
The dwarf thief had obviously accepted the price and immediately turned around to ask for his teammates' opinions.
"I don't think there's any problem. The book is just a burden for us to carry with us anyway." The woman shrugged indifferently.
"Then let's sell it. By the way, take out all the things we collected during our adventures that haven't been sold. I really want this Acid Fire Sword." The man said, staring at the long sword he had just put back.
No warrior can resist the temptation of a good weapon, and he is no exception.
After a while, the five members of the adventure team took out their "treasures" one after another.
Although most of them were worthless junk, Zuo Si still found a few valuable things among them.
For example, a broken but repairable Ioun Stone, and another example is a magical amulet that is suspected to be able to summon a construct - a shield guardian.
In short, this adventure team should have been to many places and experienced many adventurous journeys.
This directly resulted in their spoils being large and messy.
There is even a set of "erotic" armor woven with gold threads, which has basically no defensive power. It should be specially used in bed, and it exudes temptation everywhere.
In the end, Zuo Si accepted those things that he thought could be useful, plus some valuable gems, and handed the Acid Fire Sword to the other party without charging any gold coins.
Because unlike gold on Earth which is the most valuable hard currency, in the magical world, especially in the continent of Faerun, gems are the real valuable hard currency.
Their function is not just decoration, but also a precious material that is indispensable to almost all magic.
Whether casting spells or making magic items, a large amount of gems are required.
Zuo Si was not even sure whether the colorful gems on Earth and the gems containing magical powers on the continent of Faerun were the same kind of material.
But that didn't stop him from hoarding like crazy.
After setting up a stall at the Adventurer's Market for three consecutive days, Zuo Si finally managed to scrape together some money for the trip to Candle Castle.
When the day of departure came, he only brought Davian and Huntington as guards, as well as Isadora, who had become seriously attached to him.
This girl, who had serious psychological problems, would immediately go crazy and look for Zuo Si if she couldn't see him for two or three days.
As for the others, they all stayed behind to look after the house.
After all, this journey was originally carried out with the diplomatic mission. Not only were there armies and masked wizards responsible for escorting them, but the probability of being attacked was also very low, so there was no need to bring so many people.
Moreover, Zuo Si would never dare to take someone like Alena, who only wants the world to be in chaos, to a place like Candle Castle.
Otherwise, if he accidentally set a few bookshelves on fire, he really couldn't afford the compensation.
The half-orc Rhett simply had no interest in places like the library. He would rather stay in Askatla and go to the Copper Crown Inn in the slums every day to have a couple of drinks and gamble a little.
As for the little wolves, they have to learn all kinds of knowledge in the morning and undergo combat training in the afternoon. They are very busy every day and they also have to find time to take care of the warg and winter wolf cubs and cultivate relationships with them. They don't have the time to travel far.
The red dragon Wilmes and the strange creature are responsible for controlling the giant mutant hound, as well as the goblins and werewolves who work day and night under the wizard tower, and the digging worms that are growing bigger and bigger.
As power expands, many places need someone to keep an eye on them.
After everything was arranged, Zuo Si got on the carriage prepared for him by the Amn Six-Man Council.
When passing through the City Gate area, I took a look at the renovation progress of the Crooked Crane Hotel.
After meeting up with the envoys, Sir Crispian, who was in charge of the negotiations, immediately complimented with a smile: "Welcome, respected Sir Soth. Don't worry, you don't need to say a word or do anything on this journey. You just need to show up before the negotiations begin."
"Oh? Just showing up? Then it's a bit too easy to earn these 40,000 gold coins." Zuo Si made a joke.
"Hahahaha! Please believe me, your deterrent power is no less than those powerful legendary wizards, and even better. Especially for a densely populated port city-state like Baldur's Gate that relies on trade, a large-scale plague outbreak can cause it to completely decline. What's more, Baldur's Gate does not have any decent magical power at all."
Sir Crispian laughed and revealed the secret.
The man, who was about forty years old, did not show any sign of taking Baldur's Gate seriously in his tone.
Because the latter is currently just an independent city-state, and at most it can affect surrounding areas such as Belgost and Friendly Arms.
It is still a long way to go before we can bring the entire West Heartland region under our rule and establish a country.
So even though Baldur's Gate gained a certain advantage in the war, it was essentially using the strength of one city to fight against the entire Amn.
Maybe there won't be any big problems in the short term, but once a stalemate occurs and both sides start to consume each other, both the finances and people's hearts will slowly collapse and disintegrate.
As the chosen one of the goddess of poison and plague Talona, Zuo Si will become the catalyst for all this, forcing the Duke of Baldur's Gate and the Merchant Alliance to surrender as soon as possible.
"I see. Let's get going quickly then."
After saying this, Zuo Si led his men back to his own carriage.
Following Sir Crispian's order, the team of fifty people officially set off.
Among them, thirty-five elite cavalrymen were the main defense force.
In addition, there were two accompanying masked wizards, four priests of the guardian god Heim, and a paladin sent by the Knights of the Burning Heart.
As for the rest, they were all servants who served the important members of the diplomatic corps in their daily lives.
Since the delegation was traveling on a main road and the carriage was blessed with a levitation spell, they did not feel any bumps at all.
Sitting in the car, Zuo Si used the time on the road to take out the damaged Ion Stone and carefully repaired it with topaz.
Then he discovered that this thing was actually the legendary [Spell Absorption] Ion Stone, which could absorb targeted spells for the wearer.
This thing is extremely rare and precious, and with the demise of the Netherese civilization, it is now almost impossible to find it on the market.
Only in those ancient ruins and tombs can one occasionally find a few.
There is no doubt that with this Ion Stone, Zuo Si can be sure to make a fortune in the transaction with the adventure team.
After bringing the spell-absorbing Ioun Stone under his control, he quickly turned his attention to the magical amulet that seemed to be able to summon the construct - the Shield Guardian.
Due to its age, the magic runes and some engravings on the surface of the amulet have become blurred to the point of being difficult to recognize.
There are also obvious signs of burning and strong acid corrosion on the surface.
Fortunately, Zuo Si has a creator level of LV11, and can repair it bit by bit through transformation ability.
But even so, it took almost four days.
At this moment, the delegation has left Crimul and officially entered the most dangerous foggy mountain area of this journey.
As the natural border between Amn and its northern neighbors, this is a rugged mountain range that stretches hundreds of kilometers from east to west.
The average altitude is much higher than the Xingxuan Mountains and Broken Tooth Mountains that Zuo Si had visited before.
Most of the cold air currents blowing from the north are blocked by this mountain, creating a warm and farming-friendly climate in Amn.
But at the same time, these mountains with snow on top all year round have also become home to dangerous creatures in cold regions such as white dragons, winter wolves, frost giants, frost worms, and centipede demon insects.
In addition, the cold and hot air currents from the north and south meet here, resulting in the city being shrouded in white fog for almost two-thirds of the year.
This is also the origin of the name of Yunwu Mountain Area.
Thick fog means extremely low visibility, which is very unfavorable for humans who mainly rely on vision to determine whether the surrounding environment is safe.
Many caravans traveling overland were often approached silently by monsters, surrounded and then slaughtered without realizing it.
fortunately!
The two masked wizards who accompanied them this time were both of high level. They cast the [Wind Creation Spell] continuously and blew away all the clouds and mist within a radius of several hundred meters around the campsite.
The soldiers took the trouble to cut down some trees to make a simple fence and dug traps behind the fence.
The mages also set up magic traps.
Although these preparations are basically useless when facing truly powerful and terrifying monsters, at least they can let everyone know that the camp has been attacked.
Jiandan and Sir Crispian had a fairly sumptuous dinner, and then they both returned to their tents to rest.
While everyone else was eating or resting, Zuo Si immediately tried to activate the repaired amulet.
The next second...
A dazzling summoning circle suddenly appeared, followed by a huge construct about four meters tall, with the main part of its body made of steel but its hands made of refined gold, which appeared out of thin air in the center of the tent.
However, perhaps because it is too old, the construct looks rusty and its head seems to have been hit by a warhammer or something, leaving a large dent.
But even so, when it saw the amulet, it still immediately went to Zuo Si to fulfill its duty to protect its master.
Obviously, constructs like the Shield Guardian are different from golems that only obey the orders of their creators. They are bound to the amulet itself.
Whoever holds this amulet will be considered as the master by the former and will obey every order given by the other party.
If the enemy takes the amulet, the shield defender will automatically change allegiance.
In addition, the shield guardian has special magical abilities to protect his master.
For example, half of the damage suffered by the amulet wearer is transferred to the shield guardian to bear;
For example, you can store a magic that is no higher than the fourth level and release it at a critical moment.
Since the shield guardian was designed to protect its master, it will regard this command as the top priority.
It will do its best to block any attack against the amulet holder.
“Useless exquisite carvings and patterns, amazingly fine craftsmanship, and extremely demanding requirements for materials… It seems that this is the work of an elven wizard.”
Zuo Si came to this conclusion after a simple inspection.
Because apart from elves, no other race of wizards would spend time and effort to make a construct used as a meat shield just look pretty.
In order to prevent this very old shield guardian from being scrapped, he quickly took out four first-level magic [Repair Minor Injuries] cards and released them all at once on the construct in front of him.
This spell repairs any damaged construct life force, just as if cure light wounds were cast on a living person.
In the blink of an eye, the shield defender's tattered body recovered to a certain extent.
But that's not all. Zuo Si immediately took out a more advanced three-ring magic card [Repair Severe Injuries] and continued to repair the shield guardian in front of him.
Originally, these magic cards specifically for repairing constructs were prepared for iron golems.
But who knew that the Iron Golem was not used, but the Shield Guardian who appeared out of nowhere got to enjoy it first.
When all such cards were used up, the huge construct finally revealed its true form.
"Soth. It looks so beautiful." Isadora exclaimed slightly with wide eyes.
Just as the girl said, the fully repaired shield guardian not only has a very beautiful streamlined body, but also has a round platinum shield on the outside of each arm, which can be used for defense as well as as a weapon to break the enemy's bones.
The creator was so stupid that he even shaped muscles for the construct like a human sculpture.
But this is just decoration and is actually useless.
His facial features were designed to be exceptionally handsome according to the elves' aesthetic standards, making him look like a hero from a bard's story.
Zuo Si was a little confused. Was the elven wizard building the shield guardian according to the standards of a magic guard or shaping it according to the standards of a work of art?
But one thing is certain, this is definitely the most ornamental of all the structures he has seen so far. Even if it is placed in the living room as a work of art, guests will not recognize it at all.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si also sighed slightly and said, "Yes, it does look very beautiful, but it must be very expensive. The Emperor's Tear gems inlaid in the two eyes alone would probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins. I would rather not have those decorative things and build another one at half or even one-third of the cost."
After saying this, he counter-summoned the Shield Guardian into the amulet, then turned around and put it around the girl's neck.
Isadora opened her mouth in surprise and asked in an uncertain tone, "Give it to me?"
"That's right. If you encounter any danger, summon it at the first time. Remember, psychic powers are not invincible. There are many creatures in this world that are immune to your mind control." Zuo Si stroked the girl's hair and advised.
"Um..."
Isadora blushed and nodded slightly, then immediately opened her arms and hugged Zuo Si's neck tightly, her eyes filled with naked and undisguised joy and attachment.
To her, Zuo Si is the only one of her kind in this world. Only when she is with Zuo Si can she feel safe, comfortable and relaxed.
Soon, as the night grew darker, most of the people in the camp, except those on night watch, had fallen asleep peacefully.
After all, long-distance travel is a very physically demanding activity. If you don't get enough rest, you won't be able to travel well the next day.
However, the envoys did not notice that at this moment, on a mountain not far away, five people wearing magic masks were gathered there, monitoring every move of the camp from a high vantage point through magic.
After a full minute, the leader finally asked, "How do you think the chances of a successful raid are now?"
"Including the two white dragons, I think it's at least 70 percent." Another slightly fat guy next to him answered.
Behind him, there were two white dragons covered with white scales.
However, these two white dragons were obviously not doing this voluntarily, but were controlled by some powerful magic.
Their eyes looked somewhat dull, without any trace of ferocity, cruelty or cunning.
"Not only that! Don't forget, we still have a dozen winter wolves, an ice troll tribe, and a centipede demon worm. In short, let these monsters rush up to test the power of the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease, Talona. If they are too strong, we will retreat. If there is a chance, we will take action again."
Another person who sounded like a woman spoke out her thoughts.
The leader immediately nodded in approval. "That's right. Although Erinikas has agreed to cooperate with the Emerald Society, this does not mean that we have to take too great a risk for him."
After saying that, everyone present gave attack orders to the monsters behind them.
The two white dragons were at the forefront, leaping high from the cliff and swooping down at an extremely fast speed.
Soon after, the winter wolves and ice trolls also started running towards the camp.
The centipede, which looks like an enlarged version of a centipede, drags its body over ten meters long and controls hundreds of legs to charge at an incredible speed.
Although these monsters are not numerous, each one is extremely deadly.
Whether it is the white dragon, one of the overlords of the cold land, or the centipede demon worm that can fight the white dragon on equal terms, they are the terrible enemies that adventurers and caravans are most reluctant to encounter.
Although the Winter Wolves and Ice Trolls seem a little weaker in comparison, they are also undoubted ice killers.
Not long after, the white dragon with the ability to fly arrived in the sky first, swooping down to attack the elite soldiers who were sitting around the campfire and keeping watch.
The latter didn't even notice the danger coming from the sky and was instantly turned into an ice sculpture by the terrifying freezing breath.
Even the bonfire that was originally burning brightly was instantly extinguished by the terrible cold.
"White...White Dragon?!"
A guard at the door of the tent spotted the huge monster in the darkness and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack! Get up! Get up quickly! We are under attack by the white dragon!"
"What? White Dragon!"
"Damn it! Why would a white dragon attack us? We are not a caravan!"
"Idiot! Now is not the time to ask that! Follow me and pick up your weapons and prepare for battle!"
"Mage! Mage! We need magical cover!"
"Pastor! There's a guy here who hasn't frozen to death yet and needs treatment!"
…
For a moment, the entire camp was thrown into chaos.
No one can remain calm when facing the attack of a dragon, even the white dragon, which is known as the weakest and most beast-like.
"Damn it! What's going on? What happened!" Sir Crispian rushed out of the tent and asked loudly.
But before anyone could answer, a huge monster descended from the sky, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and attempted to bite the envoy sent by the Council of Six of Amn in two.
moment!
Intense fear and despair surged from Sir Crispian's heart, and all kinds of memories from the past flashed before his eyes like slides.
Because he knew he was going to die.
As a typical Amn noble and wealthy businessman, Crispian had originally planned to use this mission to gain more political capital as a stepping stone to continue climbing up.
But who could have imagined that all ambitions and dreams would be shattered before reaching Candlekeep.
Just as he closed his eyes and waited for pain and death to come, he suddenly heard the white dragon nearby roar in pain and anger.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a magic arrow with amazing penetrating power that directly pierced the eardrum on the side of the white dragon.
The severe pain forced it to temporarily give up the prey in front of it and turn around to attack Huntington who was holding the [Bow of Strong Arms].
But just as the white dragon leaped into the air as lightly as a cat, a fireball suddenly flew out from a dark corner, directly illuminating the dark night sky.
boom!!!!!!
The violent explosion knocked Bai Long over on the spot, and he fell from a height of more than ten meters, causing severe burns to a large area of his abdomen.
Since it is a dragon with cold attributes, fire magic can often cause amazing extra damage to it.
Before the injured white dragon could get up, a shadow like a tide surged out of the darkness and completed a close contact with it at lightning speed.
Bailong, who was full of energy in the last second, fell straight to the ground in the next second.
If it weren't for the extremely weak breathing, it would have been no different from a corpse.
Obviously, the shadow's negative energy touch took away almost all of its strength, leaving only enough to keep it breathing.
If Zuo Si had not ordered him to stay alive, they would have definitely killed him at the first opportunity.
Of course, things aren't any better now.
Every once in a while a shadow would touch it, ensuring that its lost strength attribute could not be restored at all, and it could only be slaughtered like a fish on a chopping board.
"Sir...Sous?!"
When Sir Crispian, who had escaped death, saw Zuo Si walking out of the darkness, he suddenly felt like he had found a savior. He immediately shook off the guard beside him who was frightened by the dragon's might and ran straight over.
In his opinion, there is nothing safer at such times than staying with a powerful voter.
"Calm down, ser. They are just two stupid white dragons."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised the fireball wand in his hand again and shot a fireball at another white dragon that was wreaking havoc over the camp.
Boom!!!! Like the previous one, the second white dragon fell from a low altitude and hit a huge rock with a bang. Due to the severe shock and compression of its internal organs, a large amount of blood spurted out of its mouth and nostrils on the spot.
The Shadow Legion, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward again, suffering more than thirty casualties, turning the white dragon into a lamb that had no ability to resist and was at the mercy of others.
Obviously, the reason why these two white dragons were solved so easily was that, on the one hand, they were controlled by charm, so they did not use their cunning and hunting instincts at all, but simply used their freezing breath to attack the nearest target.
Even when he saw his fellow soldiers being attacked by fireballs, he did not immediately rush over to look for the caster, or climb to higher altitude to avoid the magical attack, but continued to chase after the group of soldiers who posed no threat to him and killed them crazily.
On the other hand, when terrifying incorporeal creatures like shadows gather in large numbers and launch siege on a target at the same time, the effect they cause is truly terrifying.
Although the power absorbed by a single shadow is insignificant to a creature like a dragon, what about ten, dozens, or hundreds of them together?
Since the Shadow's attacks can ignore vitality and magic resistance, it is best used to deal with giant beasts such as dragons that are huge and have strong vitality.
After all, the larger the body, the more difficult it is to avoid virtual touches from all directions.
As long as Zuo Si is willing to pay a sufficient price, even if the famous Dragon Kings of Faerun come, they will die instantly if they are ambushed without wearing targeted magic items or protective spells.
Without a doubt!
Zuo Si captured two white dragons with an extremely easy and overwhelming manner, which undoubtedly shocked the other members of the diplomatic corps.
Because it was these two white dragons that descended from the sky just now that killed more than a dozen elite soldiers, two priests of the guardian god Heim, the only holy knight and the masked wizard who was still asleep.
Sir Crispian kept sighing in his heart that the elect were worthy of being God's spokesperson on earth.
Even when facing a powerful creature like a dragon that stands at the top of the food chain, it can still win effortlessly.
Just as he was about to step forward to say a few words of thanks and compliments, he suddenly heard a soldier's scream behind him.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!!”
Turning around, I saw a winter wolf as big as a cow, covered with silver-white hair, biting the neck of an unlucky guy and spewing deadly cold air from its mouth.
The latter's neck instantly became as brittle as ice, and his head fell off his neck with a snap, making him deader than dead.
Although the winter wolf's freezing breath is not as wide in range and as powerful as the white dragon's, it is still not something most ordinary people can withstand.
Soon after, more winter wolves slowly walked out of the darkness and surrounded the camp.
Behind them, there are a number of ice trolls with blue-white skin and almost infinite regeneration abilities.
Just as an officer was shouting at the rest of the soldiers to form a formation to resist these monsters, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, the dirt beneath their feet was suddenly blown away by a huge force, and out emerged a giant insect with hundreds of legs that looked like a centipede magnified hundreds of times.
The poor officer was first lifted into the air, then fell heavily. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was swallowed by the bloody mouth of the centipede.
About one or two seconds later, as the dazzling red light and high-temperature flames were released from the body of this huge magical creature, the officers who were not yet dead immediately let out heart-wrenching wails.
The terrifying cry, combined with the centipede's extremely horrifying appearance and huge size, instantly made everyone in the delegation feel their scalps tingle.
If the two white dragons before could be explained by unexpected circumstances, then the current strange scene would make even the dumbest person realize that the delegation had been ambushed in a premeditated manner.
Zuo Si glanced at the monsters that suddenly appeared, and said to Crispian beside him expressionlessly: "Sir, I think we need to re-discuss the compensation that the Council of Six should pay me. You know, the 40,000 gold coins paid before did not include the two white dragons, a centipede demon worm, a group of winter wolves and ice trolls that we had to deal with during the journey."
"Sir Thors, please believe me, the Council of Six of Amn knows nothing about the current crisis. But I promise that when I return, I will explain the situation to the Council and ask them to give me reasonable compensation. In addition, I will also give them a gift as a thank you for saving my life."
Sir Crispian gritted his teeth and tried to win over the only voter in the team who could turn the tide by promising benefits.
Because he understood that no one else could handle so many monsters.
Especially the centipede, which has almost no natural enemies in cold regions.
Because their bodies are not only immune to all forms of cold damage like winter wolves, frost giants, and white dragons.
Moreover, the body can release a terrifyingly high temperature, which is even enough to melt metal.
This is fatal to creatures in extremely cold regions, which are generally afraid of damage from fire.
Any weapon aimed at the centipede may be instantly melted and destroyed by the high temperature it releases.
"Very good. I hope you can keep your word. Now hide behind all the soldiers. I will handle the rest of the battle."
As he said this, Zuo Si gave the Dragonborn Knight Davian a look.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately launched a charge, leaping towards the most difficult centipede demon insect. He raised the blazing flaming sword in his hand and stabbed it into the thick chitin above the giant insect's head with a "puff".
The intense pain instantly drove the monster crazy. An astonishing heat wave gushed out of its body, burning the nearest winter wolves and ice trolls to death on the spot.
Unfortunately, this high temperature, which was enough to kill most creatures, did not cause any harm to Davidian.
After all, as a descendant of the red dragon, he possesses amazing resistance to fire.
In addition, there are armor, helmets, gloves, boots made of red dragon scales, and a dragon scale shield...
It is almost 100% immune to fire damage.
Therefore, Davian was not afraid of the centipede's most deadly weapon - high heat. He put his shield on his back, grasped the protruding spikes on its head with one hand, and used the other hand to stir the weapon vigorously, trying to enlarge the wound and find the giant worm's brain to launch a fatal blow.
Although the centipede does not have a high intelligence, it is not a fool.
Realizing what the tiny human on his head was trying to do, he immediately began twisting his body wildly, trying to shake off the threat.
The man and the insect started a tense and exciting tug-of-war.
The area within a radius of hundreds of meters becomes extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to death or burned to death by the centipede insects.
At the same time, the winter wolves and ice trolls also began to attack the remaining people in the camp.
It's a pity that it was easily controlled by Zuo Si's [Greasy Technique], [Spider Web Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique].
Then he activated the voter's ability and cast a [Epidemic] on each target to weaken their ability to struggle and resist.
Then he added [Curse] to lower their intelligence attribute which was not very high to begin with, instantly turning the winter wolves and ice trolls into idiots and fools.
Finally, the Shadow Legion will take action and turn all these dangerous monsters into captives who can barely breathe like the White Dragon before.
To be honest, with the power Zuo Si currently possesses, dealing with these guys who don't have any powerful spell-like abilities is as easy as eating and drinking.
After confirming that these creatures had fallen into confusion or even complete coma due to insufficient brain nourishment caused by weak respiratory failure, Zuo Si unceremoniously took out a large pile of blank cards and first made the two adult white dragons into LV5 independent creature cards.
Ice Trolls and Winter Wolves were immediately made into mass summon creature cards of the same level.
In order to replenish the consumed mana, he even had to take out the energy storage device he carried with him to refill it.
After doing all this, Zuo Si cast his eyes towards the centipede not far away that was still twisting its body wildly and emitting astonishing heat to the surroundings. He asked without turning his head: "Isadora, can you control this monster?"
“Let me try!”
The girl immediately concentrated her mind and entered a state of focus, activating her powerful psychic powers to invade the centipede's mind.
Since the latter's intelligence level was originally very low, she was able to control the huge insect with almost no effort.
The whole process was fast and silent, fully demonstrating the psion's strange and unpredictable abilities.
You should know that it is almost impossible for mages, warlocks and other spellcasting professions of the same level to successfully control such a huge and tenacious monster through charm control spells.
The Dragonborn Knight Davian discovered that the giant beast he was fighting suddenly stopped resisting. He immediately realized that it was some kind of magic at work and quickly stopped all attacks.
Because he knew that if he continued to attack at this time, the target might break free due to the pain every time he was injured.
“I did it!”
Isadora shouted with surprise on her face.
Since it was the first time she successfully controlled such a huge magical creature, she looked very excited.
"Well done. You really did live up to my expectations." Zuo Si reached out and touched the girl's head and praised her.
Then he used the last blank card in his hand to create a LV6 summoned creature from the centipede.
Obviously, judging from the card level alone, the White Dragon is indeed worthy of being the shame of the real dragon.
His physical strength was actually no match for a centipede worm whose intelligence level was about the same as that of a wild beast.
Based on the experience gained from making so many creature cards, Zuo Si feels that the card level of most adult dragons should be at LV6, old dragons and ancient dragons should be at LV7, and great ancient dragons should be at LV8 to LV9.
But Bailong is an exception.
Except for extremely rare mutants, adults are at best at LV5 level, with the only advantage being "large quantity and enough to satisfy your hunger".
After all, white dragons are the most numerous and are the easiest real dragons to kill, capture, and enslave.
In the Far North, both the Frost Giants and the powerful Orc tribes often target white dragons for hunting.
Some orcs even rely on eating the flesh and drinking the blood of white dragons for a long time to forcibly change their own genes and the genes of their offspring, obtaining the legendary dragon bloodline and being called Frostblood Orcs.
After secretly complaining about Bai Long's shameful history, Zuo Si immediately put on glasses with [Dark Vision] and [Hyperopia Magic] and looked around.
He was a little puzzled as to why the mastermind behind the attack had launched such a big fuss but never showed up.
Is the other party hesitating about something? Or is this attack itself a cover, with other conspiracies and means behind the scenes? Unfortunately, the fog in the Yunwu Mountain Area is too thick.
Zuo Si had no way of penetrating the fog and observing further away, so he could only ask his Shadow Legion to expand the search range.
Especially following the footprints of winter wolves, ice trolls and centipedes to find the enemy's lair.
About twenty minutes later, the shadow assassin Yelinya came back and reported that she had found a cave on the top of a mountain.
All these monsters came from that cave.
But when she arrived, the place was empty, with only a few footprints that looked like those of humans or other humanoid creatures.
