Hundreds of years ago, this place was built by slaves looted by pirates and became a moderate port town.
There is a small shipyard in the town, a blacksmith shop for making weapons and armor, a carpentry shop for processing and manufacturing wooden boards, several taverns and inns that specialize in serving pirates, and a warehouse responsible for purchasing and storing goods and various spoils.
The rest are small-scale plantations developed by slaves, pirates and their families in the surrounding areas, as well as strongholds built by black market merchants who have business dealings with pirates.
In short, it is not large in scale, and at its busiest time, there are no more than a thousand people.
The sole purpose of its existence is to provide a place for sailors who have been at sea for a long time to go ashore to vent and get drunk.
However, ever since Eric won that decisive naval battle and completely brought the Sword Sea area under his control, this place became the first place officially included in the development plan.
In just over a month, the originally dirty, narrow and dilapidated town was completely demolished.
Instead, there are carefully planned port areas, high-end residential areas, civilian residential areas, warehouse areas, administrative areas, commercial areas, cemeteries, workshops and handicraft areas, etc.
At present, the entire port area has not only built a towering lighthouse with the help of magic, but the plank roads and supporting facilities for docking ships have also been basically completed.
There are also quite a few houses scattered around the residential area, and they are even equipped with running water and sewer systems.
The streets now looked exceptionally clean and tidy, a far cry from the dirty and smelly environment before.
All of this is the result of thousands of tireless undead creatures working as laborers, day and night without sleep, to build the city.
All the skeletons and zombies are basically the pirates who refused to surrender or pretended to surrender and then secretly colluded with each other.
Through necromancy, the lich first killed them and then raised them up again to make up for the serious shortage of labor on the Nelanther Islands.
It is foreseeable that it will not be long before a new port city will rise here.
In addition to building cities, some undead were sent to reclaim wasteland on a large scale and grow food and cash crops.
At present, all islands with fresh water resources basically plant large areas of sugarcane or wheat, rice and some vegetables and fruits according to the climate environment.
Looking from a high place, you can see green sprouts growing in the large and flat fields.
Because the location and climate of the Nelanther Islands are typical tropical, not only is there sunshine and plenty of rain all year round, but the temperature never drops below sixteen degrees Celsius, making it very suitable for growing crops.
If nothing goes wrong, there will be a big harvest in three or four months.
By then, not only will it be able to solve the food problem for the residents on the island, but there will also be surplus that can be used for trade.
Anyone who is not an idiot will realize that the long-standing disorder and chaos in the Nalanther Islands is about to end after seeing this scene.
A new city-state or even a country will gradually rise in this sea area and become a force that cannot be ignored.
Standing on the balcony of the castle halfway up the mountain, Eric looked down at the city that would soon be nominally his own, and asked without turning his head, "How many refugees and slaves were sent over from the port today?"
A middle-aged man who was not dressed like a pirate at all quickly replied, "About 300 refugees from the Kingdom of Tethyr who escaped the war, and more than 100 slaves rescued from illegal slave ships.
Those who knew how to farm and raise livestock were assigned to farms in the countryside.
The rest were kept in the city's workshops to learn skills.
I have to say, those mages are really good.
It is actually possible to produce edible coarse salt by drying it on Coca Island.
Now we just need to transport the crude salt back, and then carry out some further processing to produce high-quality white salt without any impurities or odors.
Seeing this kind of salt, many businessmen placed large orders one after another, and the delivery might even take two or three months.
In addition, the sugar workshop also began to produce a large amount of white sugar, rock sugar and various fruit-flavored hard candies.
Even the residue left over from sugar extraction can be used for fermentation and winemaking.
Currently, half of the merchant ships in the harbor are here for salt, and the other half are here for sugar.
They transported sugarcane, beets, grain, poultry and livestock from the countries around the Shining Sea and Steam Lake in the south, and then took salt and sugar with them when they left, basically forming a stable trade route.
Coupled with the monopoly of the main route from the Sword Sea to the northern Sword Bay and the collection of protection fees from passing merchant ships, the tax alone would become quite considerable.
With your shares in the game, you can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins even if you do nothing for a month.
And that money will grow over time.”
"Good! It seems that I made the right bet, right?" Eric pursed his lips and revealed a smug smile.
Although he lost direct command of the huge pirate fleet after the decisive naval battle, he gained the stable life he had always dreamed of.
There is no need to risk your life on the dangerous sea for a living as before.
As for the betrayed pirate colleague, he had just been brutally purged not long ago, and then Vanessa sent a retired naval officer who was hired to retrain and reorganize the remaining people.
Anyone who shows disobedience during the reorganization and training, or who is dissatisfied and wants to incite rebellion, will be sent to Zuo Si's Mage Tower without exception to receive "influence (brain transformation)" by the magic item.
When they come back, they will become dull and stupid, completely lose the ability to think, and become puppets who obey orders.
Especially chaotic and evil monsters like orcs, ogres, gnolls, bugbears, and tauren, basically no one escapes.
In contrast, the evil and lawful hobgoblins, by offering their loyalty, have transformed themselves into captains or first mates.
Together with the human officers recruited from the Kingdom of Tethyr, the originally chaotic pirates were transformed into a powerful and disciplined navy.
At present, the military power of the newly established regime in the Nelanther Islands is almost entirely in the hands of the liches of the Arcane Mystic Society.
However, the middle-aged man in a formal suit obviously didn't know this, and he quickly forced out a flattering smile and responded: "Of course! All this prosperity and order are thanks to your wise decision. I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the merchants who make a living on this maritime trade route."
Eric sneered and waved his hand: "Stop the boring compliments. Did you find the person I asked you to find?"
"Yes. Based on the clues you provided, we found two targets who are very suitable in age and appearance in Dalauma along the Is River. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the mistress and daughter hidden by Hallett." The middle-aged man reported carefully.
"Very good! Help me get them here. It doesn't matter whether it's kidnapping or deception. Anyway, I want to see them appear in this city within two months. If you can do it, I will appoint you as the mayor of this city. But if you can't do it, then don't show up in front of me again."
While saying this, Eric did not hide his naked desire at all.
Because he wanted to vent all the pressure he had endured when Harlet was bullying him in this extremely twisted and morbid way.
"As you wish!"
Knowing that he could become a powerful person in this emerging city if he could accomplish this task, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a light called ambition.
As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, he could foresee that Eric, who controlled the Nelanther Islands, the Racing Strait and the northern Collin Islands, would sooner or later become the unrivaled overlord of this sea, so he came all the way from the distant southern city of Areven to surrender.
If he could become mayor, he and his family would be able to settle down on the island and become part of the ruling class of this emerging force.
Obtaining a noble title in the future is just around the corner.
After watching the merchant leave the castle, Eric immediately turned around and went to the secret room on the top floor. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Vanessa, the lich.
"Master, with the magic sea chart you made, the fleet has basically controlled the movements of all ships on the west coast of the entire Faerun continent. So far, no merchant ship has escaped our eyes. Do you think we can start the second step of the plan?"
“嗯！也是时候了。去通知所有的舰队，以后凡是想要在博德之门靠港，亦或是从博德之门驶出的船只，一律收取三倍的保护费。至于理由，就对外宣称博德之门是一个跟路斯坎一样的邪恶城邦。我们这是站在正义的一边对其进行贸易制裁。”
瓦内萨直截了当点头答应下来，并随口编造了一个理由。
“正……正义？贸易制裁？”
听到这些闻所未闻的新名词，埃里克嘴角不受控制的抽搐了一下。
他实在想不出，作为海盗出身的自己，还有那些差不多同样是海盗出身的同行，浑身上下有哪点能跟“正义”这两个字沾上边。
至于所谓的“贸易制裁”，虽然每一个字他都认识，但凑在一起就完全听不懂了。
看着这个最近一直都表现十分听话的海盗头子，瓦内萨意味深长的说道：“不管做任何事情，首先要把自己摆在正义的一方，然后站在道德制高点去指责对手是邪恶的。这是政治斗争中最常用的手段。如果你想要成为耐兰瑟尔群岛之王，最好稍微学习一下。不然的话是很难坐稳这个位置的。”
“该死！看来我得给自己请个老师了。”埃里克脸上浮现出一丝苦笑。
要知道当初学习通用语读写的时候，他就用了差不多一整年的功夫。
但为了自己未来的权势和地位，这家伙最终还是下定决心，回去之后就派人花重金请一位宫廷学者，来教自己怎样当一个合格的国王。
在得到肯定的答复之后，埃里克迅速离开城堡，通过最新配备的魔法道具，一个接一个通过魔法短讯，给那些正在大海上游弋的舰队船长送去最新指令。
不仅如此！
他还把战斗力最高的船只集中在剑湾与宝剑海交界处，随时准备应对博德之门方面可能的反击。
毕竟这座港口城市虽然没有什么太强大的专业海军，可商船好歹还是能拉出几十艘乃至上百艘的。
如果那些愚蠢的公爵想要打一场海战，那么埃里克会直接把对方所有的船全部击沉或者俘获。
用实际行动向周边海域所有港口城市宣布，自己才是这片海域当之无愧的王者。
海盗头子刚离开没多久，一名看上去二十六七岁的青年，也来到了瓦内萨的房间，行了一个标准的法师礼：“导师。按照您的要求，我已经完成了对于脚下这座城市统治机构和官僚系统的组建。”
“干得不错。你果然不愧是我教导过所有学途中最出色的学徒。”瓦内萨满意的夸奖道。
“愧不敢当。我学习了整整十二年魔法，可到如今也只是一名LV7级的法师。不过我有点奇怪，您和杰弗里大师为什么突然会插手耐兰瑟尔群岛的事情？”青年一脸疑惑的问。
“呵呵，很简单。研究高深的魔法知识和技艺需要大量金钱。而控制这里，就等于控制了西海岸南部最重要的海上商路。如果一切顺利的话，我和杰弗里以后就没必要为了研究资金而发愁了。”瓦内萨半真半假的解释道。
虽然他很想告诉这个最心爱的弟子真相，然后邀请其加入组织成为核心成员。
但考虑到转化巫妖最低也得达到LV11的施法等级，还是不得不暂时放弃。
更何况，对方还是如此的年轻，极有可能会因为贪恋世俗间的欲望而拒绝。
不过没关系。
等再过个几十年，年轻强壮的身体开始慢慢衰老，整个人渐渐的精力不济，届时就能感受到成为巫妖的种种好处。
“原来如此！”青年若有所思的点了点头。“对了，我还有一个消息要向您报告。据说最近一段时间，有人在上次大海战的区域看到了有幽灵船出没。”
“幽灵船？”瓦内萨下意识皱起眉头。
作为一名死灵法师，他非常清楚大多数海域关于幽灵船的传说，只是那些喝醉水手编出来吓唬人的故事。
但刨除这些虚假的信息，有一些幽灵船却是真实存在的。
他们有的是不甘心死去的船长和水手，在负能量聚集的地方被转化成拥有身体的骷髅或者僵尸，还有的则被转化成幽灵、怨灵之类的虚体不死生物。
前者倒还好，只要几个火球轰上去将其击沉，幽灵船自然也就消失了。
可如果是后者，那就会变得十分麻烦。
原因很简单！ 当灵魂附着在船体上之后，它们会用各种各样的东西来对破损的船只进行修复，使其拥有极为可怕的破坏力。
某些足够强大的女妖，甚至可以模拟出九环的【女妖之嚎】。
一嗓子下来，瞬间就能杀死周围一大片活物。
青年表情严肃的回应道：“没错，就是幽灵船。我亲自去该水域侦查过，发现有负能量残留。也就是说，不出意外的话，这艘幽灵船是真实存在的。”
“好吧，我知道了。给，这是你完成这次任务的奖励。”
说着，瓦内萨将几张卷轴和一本书丢给自己的学徒。
“非常感谢！”
青年赶忙接住，兴高采烈的转身离开。
由于完成相应的任务就能获得贡献度，然后在奖励清单列表中选择自己需要的东西进行兑换，因此那些被派过来的学徒一个个干劲十足。
毕竟跟能学到什么都由导师说了算相比，这种“明码标价”的改变显然更加符合年轻人的胃口。
同样的，巫妖们也发现，通过这种浅显易懂的激励方式，只需要付出很少的东西就能够提高手下学徒工作和学习的积极性。
于是乎，他们纷纷扩大招募范围，甚至一些“野法师”也被吸引过来，不知不觉成为了组织的外围成员。
不过幽灵船的消息并未让瓦内萨太过在意。
他现阶段最重要的任务，就是让公开羞辱过左思的博德之门公爵们为此付出惨痛的代价。
经济打击只是开始，紧跟着后续还有一整套组合拳。
以瓦内萨有仇必报的性格，要是不能彻底摧毁博德之门的发展潜力，那么这场报复就不能算完。
……
与此同时，远在安姆首都阿斯卡特拉法师塔的地下。
整整数千名变成狼人形态的地精，正挥舞着镐头、铲子和锄头，在那些已经被掘地虫挖掘过的地方开凿出洞穴和隧道。
三名同样变身成为狼人的大地精，不断轮起鞭子抽打那些试图偷懒耍滑的家伙。
经过长时间的挖掘，左思这座法师塔的地下已经形成了错综复杂的迷宫结构。
一些面积比较大的地方，已经种植上了大量的蘑菇和苔藓。
挂在头顶天花板上附着了不灭明焰的火把，可以为后者其提供生长所必须的少量光照。
除此之外，还饲养了一些来自幽暗地域特产的生物——洛斯兽，其实也就是一种可以在黑暗环境下生存的牛。
这种生物的奶何以制作成乳酪，肉可以用来吃，骨头、皮革和毛发也都有各自的用处，属于幽暗地域各个智慧种族最普遍饲养的家畜。
通过影贼们提供的秘密渠道，法师塔花钱采购了一批，用它们产出的奶来作为给地精们补充营养和钙质的手段之一。
尤其是那些经过人工筛选服从性比较高的地精，以及他们的后代，每天都可以获得一杯鲜奶。
一段时间下来，可以清晰地看到后者的身高和体型都变得比同类要大出一圈。
他们也不再从事伤亡率非常高的重体力劳动，而是经过训练成为战士，协助大地精对这支规模不小的地精群落进行严格管理。
每天都会有差不多十几个干活效率最差的地精被挑选出来，先由奇物吃掉脑子，然后再把尸体当众扔进掘地虫挖出的深坑，让其他地精看着它们被活生生的撕成碎片。
至于那些劳累过度和意外情况死掉的家伙，则会被直接复活成僵尸，通过【统御亡灵之卷】进行控制，继续从事它们生前没有完成的任务。
目前，地精僵尸的数量已经跟地精相差无几。
所以根本不用担心后者会因为忍受不了而暴动。
如果它们敢这样做，那么结果只会是一场残酷的大屠杀。
更多死掉的地精会被转化成为低级僵尸，仅此而已。
看着这群小怪物忙碌的景象，维尔梅斯不由得笑着评价道：“我得承认，在统治和压榨奴隶方面，索斯的确拥有旁人无法企及的天赋。他永远都知道要怎么最大限度利用手头上的资源，哪怕是在奴隶死后也依旧可以源源不断创造价值。”
“不，你错了。在主人的眼中，地精、兽人和狗头人这样的生物，根本算不上是人，所以才会用另外一条标准来对待它们。地精严格意义上来说并不能归类到奴隶中去，而是应该归类到家畜和工具。”奇物通过心灵连接纠正道。
“工具？”
Wilmes showed a surprised expression on his face.
Qiwu responded without hesitation: "Yes. It is a tool. A living tool.
The owners will not intentionally abuse or torture them, but they will also not have any feelings for them.
This is a precise calculation made in an absolutely rational state.
As for those who couldn't hold on and died, it's like tools that wear out after long-term use and inevitably break down."
"What if there are priests or shamans among them? The goblins have their own pantheon." Wilmes asked with interest.
You have to know that in Faerun, enslaving a certain race for a long time and in large numbers would involve certain risks.
Because their desperate prayers will be heard by God.
God will grant divine powers to those who possess the qualifications of a priest and encourage them to take the lead in the resistance.
But Qiwu said with a tone full of contempt: "Goblin gods? The vigilance and suspicion among them are exactly the same as those of the chaotic goblins. Moreover, the incarnation of the main god Magnubbiye has been killed by adventurers more than once, and he is afraid to leave his territory from the bottom of his heart. I don't think he dares to provoke the master for a mere group of goblins."
"Hahahaha! That's true! Their gods are timid and cowardly and are not to be feared at all." Wilmes laughed and made a naked and undisguised mockery.
Although the level of divine power is one of the important criteria for measuring whether a god is powerful or not.
But the battle between gods is very complicated.
The combat power of many gods with weaker powers is not much less than that of those with stronger powers.
The most typical example is Tiamat and Bahamut, the two dragon gods who are in opposition between good and evil.
They were all weak divine powers, and their influence on the material world was also very weak, but no god of medium or great power dared to boast that they could defeat two dragon gods in a one-on-one duel.
By the same token, although the goblin god Magnubbiye is a powerful being, the strength and ability of his incarnation are really not worth mentioning.
In the continent of Faerun alone, the number of recorded kills exceeded hundreds.
Even many high-level spellcasters and warriors have killed the incarnation of this god.
Many adventurers who defeated or even killed Magnubiye's incarnation may not have realized that they had accidentally destroyed the incarnation of a god, but instead mistook it for a mutated powerful goblin-like creature.
It's simply like losing "God" completely.
Therefore, Magnubiye rarely chooses to incarnate in the material world.
Otherwise, with the current defense capabilities and remaining personnel of the Mage Tower, his incarnations could be killed more than a dozen times in minutes.
It can even be said that among the many incarnations of gods, none is weaker than the goblin gods.
Just when Qiwu was about to say something through the mental connection, a wind demon bat suddenly swooped down from the passage leading to the upper level and said in a very fast tone: "No! It's bad! The dark elf is gone!"
"What? Gone? How is that possible! She was wearing a reinforced slave collar!"
Wilmes suddenly raised his head, and a chilling aura emanated from his whole body.
"That drow not only used a wire saw he got from somewhere to secretly cut off the slave collar on his neck, but he also pretended to deliver food to trick the Mage Tower's surveillance and rushed directly into the sewer leading to Athkatra."
The Wind Demon Bat quickly told everything he knew.
It doesn't want to be killed by the flaming breath of the terrible red dragon in front of it.
"That guy must have relied on his willpower and the magical resistance of his skin to break free from the control of the slavery collar, and then disguised himself as still being controlled and looked for an opportunity to escape."
Qiwu quickly analyzed the whole incident.
Because whether it was the wire saw that could saw through the slave collars, or the time for delivering meals and the escape route, they were all obviously planned in detail and carefully.
Coupled with Athkatla's intricate sewers filled with monsters, it is basically impossible to chase now.
"What do we do now?"
Wilmes asked in an uncertain tone.
She likes cleanliness and doesn't want to go through a smelly tunnel.
Qiwu thought for a moment and quickly responded: "Send a notice to the Shadow Thieves first and ask them to keep an eye on it. The rest can be dealt with after the master returns. After all, he is just an insignificant captive and we don't know what secrets he holds."
However, what the red dragon and the strange creature did not know was that the escaping dark elves were in a panic and fled directly from the base of the wizard tower to the area near the cemetery.
As a result, he was caught by two recently transformed vampires and was sent to their queen as expected.
"A drow from the Underdark? Interesting!"
The corners of Badi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Ever since she occupied the underground of the cemetery as her secret base, she has been quietly replenishing the number of vampires under her command.
Although the more than forty transformed ones had all died under Zuo Si's sword, they are now slowly replenishing.
"Let me go! I order you to let me go!"
The female dark elf shouted at the top of her voice in the language unique to her race.
If it were other surface races, it would not be easy to understand these words.
But Badi himself was an elf, and before he became a vampire he was also a very knowledgeable wizard. Not only did he understand what the other party was saying, he also asked in the same language: "Tell me your name, evil cousin from the underworld."
"What! You...you can understand Dark Elf?"
An expression of shock and surprise appeared on the female drow's face.
You know, she has been on the surface for so long, but this is the first time she has met someone who can understand what she is saying.
"Of course! Your language is not that difficult to learn. Besides, we used the same language 10,000 years ago."
Badi began to circle around the other person with graceful steps, his two red eyes never leaving the carotid artery in his neck.
Unlike the calm and rational Erinikas, she quickly became addicted to the pleasure of bloodthirsty indulgence after becoming a vampire.
The current Badi has long forgotten that he is a spellcaster. When fighting, he prefers to rely on his extremely strong body and spell-like abilities to crush the enemy, and then bite the target's neck and suck all the blood from his body.
The dark elf, who grew up in a very dangerous environment, undoubtedly sensed the hunger that the vampire queen had unintentionally released. His nerves and muscles immediately tensed up, and he cautiously asked, "What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
“Let you go? Hahahaha! Sorry, that’s impossible. I’ve long wanted to taste the blood of the dark elves. What’s the difference in taste from that of the surface elves? But don’t worry, I won’t kill you. On the contrary, I will transform you into my own servant.”
After saying that, Badi suddenly stretched out his right hand at a speed that was almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye and directly grabbed the opponent's neck.
Under the powerful suppression of the Vampire Queen, the poor dark elf had no room to resist at all.
He was easily pressed against the wall, watching helplessly as the two sharp teeth pierced deeply into the carotid artery in his neck.
After a while, she completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
After drinking the blood, Badi quickly revealed an extremely satisfied smile, pointed at the dried corpse on the ground and said, "Go, throw this guy into the blood pool, let her absorb the power and be reborn in a new form."
"As you wish, Queen."
A newborn vampire quickly bent down and bowed, then dragged the dark elf's body towards the base deep in the tomb.
After he was completely gone, another servant whispered, "Master, why did you keep this drow? Her race and skin color are too conspicuous on the surface world. She is not suitable to be one of us."
"Didn't you notice where she escaped from?" Badi asked meaningfully.
The vampire servant lowered his head and thought for a moment, then immediately exclaimed: "It's the wizard tower! She escaped from the wizard tower!"
"That's right! I think this dark elf must know a lot of secrets about the wizard tower and its owner. Even if he doesn't know, it doesn't matter. He can still be used as a bargaining chip. Erinikas is very interested in the chosen ones of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease."
Badi licked the blood remaining on his lips with his tongue, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness deep in the tomb.
…
On the other side, in a vast maze far underground in Waterdeep City.
While the other three members of the adventure team were asleep, Zuo Si secretly led the Dragonborn Knight to find the green dragon's lair on the fifth floor.
Looking at the deep pool formed by the waterfall in front of him, he immediately said without turning his head: "This should be it."
"Here? You mean... the green dragon's lair is underwater!" Davian opened his mouth in surprise.
"Very unexpected, isn't it? According to the Shadow Legion's reconnaissance, there is a very large cave hidden underneath. Green dragons usually live in caves and only emerge from underwater when they go out to look for food. Let's go, we don't have much time, so let's deal with this dragon as soon as possible so that we can finish our work and go back sooner."
Zuo Si jumped directly into the pool and began to dive.
Davian took a deep breath and jumped right after him.
The two dived more than fifty meters in the deep pool and finally saw the entrance directly below the waterfall.
After swimming for a distance along the pitch-black waters, they finally surfaced and entered a huge underground cave.
Through the [Dark Vision] that he had blessed in advance, Zuo Si saw at a glance the huge figure lying on the open space dozens of meters away.
Although in size, the green dragon is not as huge and strong as the red dragon, it is full of the beauty of power.
But their bodies are slender and streamlined, with a single horn standing up above their noses, which looks unusually sharp.
Because it was sleeping, the green dragon didn't seem to be on guard at all, and it was a good time to launch a sneak attack.
But Zuo Si knew very well that the green dragon was almost the most insidious and cunning of the five-colored evil dragons, so he carefully used the [True Wisdom] to observe the surroundings.
You won’t know the result until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
There were as many as six pits around the open space where the green dragon was resting.
In addition, there are two magic alarms that will be triggered as soon as you get close, and a large number of vines that can be transformed into ropes to entangle the enemy with just a little manipulation.
It is obvious that even in the hidden cave under the waterfall, the green dragon in front of him did not forget to be prepared for danger.
But unfortunately, all these arrangements are of no use to Zuo Si now.
Judging from its body length of nearly fourteen meters, the green dragon in front of us should be in its prime, one of the unlucky ones who was captured by the "Mad Wizard" Halaster Black Robe and forcibly imprisoned in the underground maze.
In other words, among all the dragons in the Underworld, no matter whether they are good or evil, none of them are willing.
Without any hesitation!
After confirming that there was no other threat in the cave except the green dragon, Zuo Si directly took out four "Spell Enhancement - Fireball" cards, aimed at the opponent's wings and activated them instantly.
The next second...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The blinding white light instantly illuminated the dark cave as bright as day.
The violent explosion and heat wave instantly enveloped the green dragon.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
The horrific damage caused by the high temperature flames directly woke the green dragon from its sleep, and it let out a scream of pain.
Then he rushed into the water like a madman to try to cool his burning body and scales.
Unfortunately, he ran into the [Force Wall] just halfway through the charge.
Bang! Snap!
Without any buffer, the green dragon's head collided violently with the invisible wall of force. Its slender neck instantly bent to 90 degrees, and then it fell straight to the ground, twitching continuously.
Without asking, you can tell that this was probably because he rushed too hard and broke his neck.
The shadows that had been lying in ambush nearby immediately rushed forward and quickly drained the green dragon's strength through touch, causing its eyes to turn black and it to pass out, completely turning it into a lamb to be slaughtered without any ability to resist.
Without saying anything, Zuo Si drew mana to make it into a Level 6 creature card, then said with a smile, “It’s much easier than I thought.
It seems that defeating and capturing ordinary adult or even middle-aged dragons is not a difficult task for me.
No wonder some people always say that in this vast universe filled with endless planes and crystal walls, only the truly strong can be free.
Rumor has it that some legendary strongmen who are even feared by the Lord of the Abyss can even treat the Succubus Queen Mecanshut's territory "Shendi Lavelle" on the 570th floor of the Abyss as an ordinary brothel, and go there to solve physiological problems when necessary, and then just pull up their pants and leave after solving them. "
"Treating the Succubus Queen's territory as a brothel?" Davian opened his mouth in disbelief.
"That's right! This is the privilege of the strong. One day, we will be able to reach that level. Don't worry, when that day really comes, I will definitely choose to take you with me." Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.
The Dragonborn Knight nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Thank you very much. I really want to see what this place that is said to be able to satisfy all desires looks like."
"Not only you, I am actually quite curious as well. Whether it is Hell, Abyss, Mountain Paradise, or the Mechanical Realm, Paradise, Wasteland of Destruction and Despair, Ether Plane, Astral Realm, or the City of Ten Thousand Doors that is said to connect the entire multiverse - Sigil City, sooner or later we will have to go there." Zuo Si said ambitiously.
He is quite interested in these outer planes with various interesting rules.
But it's too early to talk about this now.
After all, the outer planes are much more dangerous than the material plane.
"By the way, master. Where is the black dragon that you released to carry the treasure? It seems that he never flew back." Davidian suddenly remembered this and asked casually.
"Don't worry, he has stored the treasure in the secret base of the Emerald Society. He is currently lurking near the swamp, trying to find out the locations of other black dragons' nests. When we find a time later, we will go and rob the black dragons living nearby."
While he was talking, Zuo Si found the treasure hidden by the green dragon in the most inconspicuous corner of the dragon's nest.
To be exact, it was just a pile of colorful gems that didn't look very valuable, and a few magic items.
After a simple identification, it was discovered that there was a +3 scimitar - [Forest Blade], which could release [Entanglement] when hitting the enemy, causing the enemy's entire body to be entangled by strong grass and vines and unable to move.
A pair of Druid-specific wristbands that not only increase the perception attribute by two points, but also release [Charm Animal] three times and [Level 3 Summoning Nature's Ally] once a day.
A small box that can produce ten [Godberries] every day.
The fruit produced by this natural magic can not only provide sufficient nutrition and satiety to the eater, but also restore vitality and accelerate wound healing. It is a very good thing.
As for gold and silver currencies, there were basically none.
After all, adventurers are not fools. How could they enter the underground city with a lot of money?
Generally speaking, before they come down, they will either squander all their wealth or leave the money to their families.
After completely draining the green dragon of its marrow, Zuo Si and Davidian returned to the campsite along the same route.
Since it only took an hour and a half, the other three were still asleep.
After simply using magic to clean the water stains on their bodies, they quickly lay down, closed their eyes and began to rest.
After sleeping for eight hours, Zuo Si opened his eyes again and pretended nothing had happened as he continued to follow the team into deeper levels.
He could feel that as he continued to enter deeper levels, the energy emitted by the magic network nodes became more and more astonishing.
If you can get to an area closer to the center, you can 100% create a more powerful land card.
