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?"
"Well! It's time. Go and inform all fleets that any ship that wants to dock at Baldur's Gate or sail out of Baldur's Gate will be charged three times the protection fee. As for the reason, just announce to the outside world that Baldur's Gate is an evil city-state like Luskan. We are standing on the side of justice and imposing trade sanctions on it."
Vanessa nodded and agreed without hesitation, and made up a reason.
"Justice? Trade sanctions?"
Hearing these new terms that he had never heard of before, the corners of Eric's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He really couldn't think of how himself, a pirate, or his colleagues who were almost pirates, could be related to the word "justice".
As for the so-called "trade sanctions", although he knew every word, he couldn't understand anything when they were put together.
Looking at the pirate leader who had been very obedient recently, Vanessa said meaningfully: "No matter what you do, you must first put yourself on the side of justice, and then stand on the moral high ground to accuse your opponent of being evil. This is the most commonly used method in political struggles. If you want to become the king of the Nelanther Islands, you'd better learn a little bit. Otherwise, it will be difficult to hold on to this position."
"Damn it! Looks like I have to hire a teacher for myself." A bitter smile appeared on Eric's face.
You have to know that when he first learned to read and write the common language, it took him almost a whole year.
But for the sake of his future power and status, this guy finally made up his mind. After returning, he sent someone to spend a lot of money to hire a court scholar to teach him how to be a qualified king.
After receiving a positive reply, Eric quickly left the castle and used the latest magic props to send the latest instructions to the captains of the fleets cruising on the sea one by one through magic messages.
Not only that!
He also concentrated the most powerful ships at the junction of the Sword Coast and the Sword Sea, ready to deal with any possible counterattack from Baldur's Gate.
After all, although this port city does not have a very strong professional navy, it can still pull out dozens or even hundreds of merchant ships.
If those foolish dukes wanted to fight a naval battle, Eric would simply sink or capture all the enemy ships.
Use practical actions to announce to all port cities in the surrounding waters that you are the undisputed king of this sea area.
Not long after the pirate leader left, a young man who looked to be about 26 or 27 years old came to Vanessa's room and performed a standard wizard's salute: "Teacher. According to your request, I have completed the establishment of the ruling organization and bureaucratic system of the city under my feet."
"Well done. You are truly the best apprentice I have ever taught." Vanessa praised with satisfaction.
"I'm unworthy of it. I have studied magic for twelve years, but I'm only a level 7 wizard now. But I'm a little curious, why did you and Master Jeffrey suddenly intervene in the affairs of the Nalansel Islands?" the young man asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, it's very simple. Researching advanced magical knowledge and skills requires a lot of money. And controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the most important sea trade route in the southern part of the west coast. If everything goes well, Jeffrey and I won't have to worry about research funds in the future." Vanessa explained half-truthfully.
Although he really wanted to tell his most beloved disciple the truth and invite him to join the organization as a core member.
But considering that the minimum casting level required to transform into a lich is LV11, I have to give up temporarily.
What's more, the other party is still so young and is likely to refuse because of his worldly desires.
But it doesn't matter.
After a few decades, the young and strong body will begin to age slowly, and the whole person will gradually lose energy. At that time, you will be able to feel the various benefits of becoming a lich.
"I see!" The young man nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, I have another piece of news to report to you. It is said that recently, someone has seen a ghost ship in the area where the last naval battle took place."
"Ghost ship?" Vanessa frowned subconsciously.
As a necromancer, he knew very well that most legends about ghost ships in the sea were just stories made up by drunken sailors to scare people.
But apart from these false information, some ghost ships do exist.
Some of them are captains and sailors who are unwilling to die. They are transformed into skeletons or zombies with bodies in places where negative energy gathers. Others are transformed into incorporeal undead creatures such as ghosts and vengeful spirits.
The former is not that bad. Just a few fireballs can be used to sink it, and the ghost ship will naturally disappear.
But if it is the latter, it will become very troublesome.
The reason is simple! When souls attach themselves to the hull, they will use all kinds of things to repair the damaged ship, giving it extremely terrible destructive power.
Some sufficiently powerful banshees can even simulate the Nine-Ring [Banshee's Howl].
With just one roar, a large number of living things around can be killed instantly.
The young man responded with a serious expression: "Yes, it is the ghost ship. I personally went to investigate the area and found negative energy residue. In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, this ghost ship really exists."
"Okay, I get it. Here, this is your reward for completing this mission."
As she spoke, Vanessa threw a few scrolls and a book to her apprentice.
"Thank you so much!"
The young man hurriedly caught it and turned away happily.
Since they can gain contribution points by completing corresponding tasks, and then choose what they need from the reward list to redeem, the apprentices who were sent here are full of enthusiasm.
After all, compared with the situation where the instructor has the final say on what you can learn, this "clearly marked price" change is obviously more in line with the appetite of young people.
Similarly, the liches also found that through this easy-to-understand incentive method, they only needed to pay very little to increase the enthusiasm of their apprentices for work and study.
As a result, they expanded the scope of recruitment, and even some "wild mages" were attracted and unknowingly became peripheral members of the organization.
However, Vanessa did not care too much about the news of the ghost ship.
His most important task at this stage is to make the dukes of Baldur's Gate who publicly humiliated Zuo Si pay a heavy price for it.
The economic blow is just the beginning, and there will be a whole set of combined punches to follow.
Given Vanessa's vengeful character, this revenge will not be complete unless the development potential of Baldur's Gate is completely destroyed.
…
At the same time, far underground in the Mage Tower of Askatra, the capital of Amn.
Thousands of goblins transformed into werewolves were wielding pickaxes, shovels, and hoes, digging caves and tunnels in places that had already been dug by the digging worms.
Three hobgoblins who had also transformed into werewolves kept whipping those who tried to slack off.
After a long period of excavation, an intricate maze structure has been formed underground in Zuo Si's wizard tower.
In some larger areas, a large number of mushrooms and mosses have been planted.
Torches with eternal flames hanging from the ceiling can provide the latter with the small amount of light necessary for its growth.
In addition, they also raise some creatures that are unique to the Underdark - Los beasts, which are actually a kind of cattle that can survive in a dark environment.
The milk of this creature can be made into cheese, the meat can be eaten, and the bones, leather and hair also have their own uses. It is the most commonly raised livestock by various intelligent races in the Underdark.
Through the secret channels provided by the Shadow Thieves, the Mage Tower purchased a batch of them and used the milk they produced as a means of supplementing nutrition and calcium for the goblins.
Especially those goblins who have been artificially screened and have higher obedience, as well as their offspring, can get a cup of fresh milk every day.
After a period of time, it can be clearly seen that the latter's height and body size have become larger than its peers.
They no longer engage in heavy physical labor with a very high casualty rate, but are trained to become warriors to assist the hobgoblins in strictly managing this large goblin community.
Every day, about a dozen goblins with the worst work efficiency are selected, their brains are eaten by strange creatures, and then their bodies are thrown into a deep pit dug by burrowing worms in public, allowing other goblins to watch them being torn to pieces alive.
As for those who died from overwork or accidents, they will be directly resurrected as zombies, controlled by the [Tome of Command over the Undead], and continue to carry out the tasks that they had not completed during their lifetime.
At present, the number of goblin zombies is almost the same as that of goblins.
So there is no need to worry that the latter will riot because they can't stand it.
If they dare to do so, the result will only be a brutal massacre.
More dead goblins will be transformed into low-level zombies, and that's it.
Watching the busy little monsters, Wilmes couldn't help but smile and commented, "I have to admit that when it comes to ruling and exploiting slaves, Soth does have a talent that no one else can match. He always knows how to make the most of the resources at hand, and can continue to create value even after the slaves die."
"No, you are wrong. In the eyes of the master, creatures like goblins, orcs and kobolds are not human at all, so they are treated with a different standard. Strictly speaking, goblins cannot be classified as slaves, but should be classified as livestock and tools." Qiwu corrected through the mental connection.
"tool?"
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.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
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.
