Chapter 281: Seizing the Floating City (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



In other words, even if he knew it now, he wouldn't have the mind or energy to care.

The reason was simple. He encountered considerable trouble in the process of retaking the floating city of Plantia.

This trouble only arose when his undead cannon fodder had advanced almost halfway toward the central tower.

On the empty main road, twelve undead spellcasters wearing robes symbolizing the archmage worked together to perform an unknown magic ritual, which resulted in the control of more than 30,000 undead creatures being taken away in an instant.

Not only that, they also cast a magic similar to a large-scale force wall, physically prohibiting all physical creatures including golems from approaching.

Obviously, Zuo Si's guess came true.

The bodies of those dead wizards not only successfully evolved into high-level undead creatures with intelligence, but also mastered the magical powers they had in their lifetime, and formed an alliance to become the supreme rulers of the floating city again.

But unfortunately, the previously incredibly powerful sealing magic has now become an obstacle to seizing the core control area of ​​the central tower.

They must be trying to crack it, so they didn't show up immediately when the liches launched a tentative attack, and only chose to take action after entering the warning range.

From the faces that were rotten to the point of being almost unrecognizable and their clothing, Zuo Si recognized the identities of about half of them.

There is no doubt that these guys are powerful spellcasters whose power is almost the same as that of the Necromancer Asta.

Especially the old man in the light blue robe, he is the supreme leader of the Mage Council of the Floating City of Plantia, known as Isidor, the "King of the Sky".

He invented a series of powerful spells and magic rituals including "Starfall" and "Air Explosion".

Although in this case, without any complicated magic rituals, it is almost impossible for a person to be killed by the plague and then violently resurrected by the erosion of negative energy, and to retain his consciousness, memory and all spellcasting abilities completely.

But even if only a small part remains, it is enough to become a very difficult enemy.

"Sir, I think we have to take action. Otherwise, once those undead spellcasters break into and control the central tower, they may use the powerful force of the floating city to expel us directly." Jeffrey suggested with a serious expression.

"Perhaps we can prepare a magical ritual and launch a preemptive strike against them. Through my observation and detection just now, I have already locked on the locations of seven of them."

As she spoke, the female lich who was skilled in prophecy magic marked a few points on the floating city map.

"If they have wisdom, why can't we try to have some communication and negotiation?"

Vanessa expressed a different opinion, with curiosity and excitement shining in her eyes.

For a necromancer like him, this kind of high-level undead spellcaster formed through natural evolution is undoubtedly an excellent research subject.

In fact, in these days, this guy has collected quite a few types of undead creatures that have never been seen in Faerun.

By studying these special "mutants", Vanessa not only mastered more techniques for utilizing negative energy, but also developed several new methods for creating undead creatures and constructs.

The best proof of this is the zombie giants in the Mage Tower, which are five or six meters tall and are made of a dozen or even dozens of corpses stitched together.

But so far, these powerful weapons have not been deployed on the battlefield.

"Damn it! You are simply crazy! Undead creatures that are eroded by negative energy over a long period of time in their natural state and eventually evolve into sane creatures are fundamentally different from us mages who actively transform into liches through magical rituals.

It is almost impossible for them to retain too many memories and personalities from their previous lives, but instead they slowly form new personalities during the process of evolutionary awakening.

In other words, these undead spellcasters do not have so-called humanity, and cannot even understand the thoughts and logic of living people.

It's simply impossible to communicate and negotiate with such a guy.

And the power they wield is too dangerous and must be completely controlled or destroyed."

This time, Jeffrey stood clearly against his old friend.

By reading the knowledge and magical theories collected in the library of the Mage Tower, he has realized that this world has invented many magics that are comparable to the Nine Rings and even legendary spells.

Although these spells are more difficult to learn and more complicated to cast due to the lack of a magic network, they are not subject to any restrictions.

Therefore, even some guys who can only be considered low-level wizards according to the standards of the continent of Faerun may be able to release high-level magic with astonishing destructive power.

In addition, since the difficulty of learning magic has increased significantly, anyone who can become a wizard or a high-level wizard in this world is, without exception, a true genius with an intelligence attribute of 18 points.

Moreover, once contact occurs, the identity of the outsider will be immediately discovered by the other side, thus losing the possible advantage of launching a surprise attack.

To sum up, Jeffrey did not think it was a good idea to negotiate with the other party, nor did he think that the other party would be willing to give up the capture and control of the floating city.

But Vanessa was no pushover, and she immediately retorted, "How do we know if we don't try? Maybe the Tome of Commanding the Undead can control them.

Don't forget, this necromancy magic artifact has helped us control more than thirty death knights, and four high-level ghosts that can emit sounds similar to the Nine-Ring Magic Banshee's Howl.

Once we control these undead creatures with amazing spellcasting abilities, the power of the organization will immediately rise to a new level."

"It's too risky! Don't forget, our first goal is to capture the floating city, not to study the ecology of the undead." Another lich also stood up and objected.

Although Vanessa is the second-in-command in the organization, they will not easily give in on matters like this that involve the interests of all core members.

Seeing serious internal divisions, the liches finally turned their attention to the organization's supreme leader.

Looking at the light curtain force field outside the window that blocked the way to the central tower, Zuo Si lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Get ready, we will launch a general attack in half an hour.

Only by seizing the central tower of the floating city of Plantia can we have the capital to gain a foothold in this world, and also know the approximate locations of several other floating cities.

This is the highest priority target, and all others will be put on the back burner.

And I am a little worried. Since so many advanced undead creatures with spellcasting abilities and intelligence have appeared in the floating city of Plantia, the same should be true in other floating cities.

If they control those floating cities, they might try to use these weapons to conquer more places, kill all living things they can see, and eventually turn this planet into a world where only the undead exist.

By then, the Plantia floating city will be our fortress and weapon to fight against them."

"Understood."

"Your will is our command."

"I will immediately activate those construct armies."

All of a sudden, all the liches present started to move.

They are not fools and understand that the future described by Zuo Si is not groundless, but has a high probability of happening in the next few years or even decades.

If this world really had no living people and only the dead were left, then its value would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Soon, with the start of the war machine, the previously unexposed armies of constructs and stitched giant zombies were continuously sent to the front line to replace the low-level undead creatures that were almost unable to hold on.

At the same time, the liches also began to cast spells together, pouring magic with large-scale destructive power onto the opponent's head.

Especially those targeted undead spellcasters, who suffered saturation energy attacks almost in the first round.

Three of them didn't even have time to cast protective magic, and their entire bodies were torn into pieces by the raging energy storm.

Since they are not liches and do not have so-called life boxes, once they die, they are really dead and there is no chance of resurrection.

As for those who still had magical items or had cast protective spells in advance, they gathered together in the shortest possible time and used the energy stored in the base wizard tower to barely support a protective barrier.

Just as they were hiding in the protective barrier and seemed to be discussing countermeasures, Zuo Si, who had cast a large number of protective and strengthening spells and used the [God of War Possession] card, descended from the sky with a holy sword shining like the sun, and used his creator's ability on the outer wall of the barrier, destroying its stable supporting structure in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he raised the holy sword high above his head and slashed down fiercely.

The next second...

轰!!!!!!!!!!!!! 无法用语言形容的强光瞬间笼罩了周围上百米范围内的一切。

数以千计的低级亡灵在这些充斥着正能量的光面前被当场净化,变成肉眼无法分辨的微小颗粒与尘埃随风飘散,有些像幽灵这样的不死生物更是连一点存在的痕迹都没留下。

更可怕的是,等白色的光渐渐散去,这块被负能量侵蚀的地面竟然呈现出了难以置信的神圣属性。

几个在刚才正能量爆发中幸存下来的高阶不死生物施法者,踩在地上的双脚和暴露在空气中的皮肤、烂肉和骨骼,都在正能量的剧烈灼烧下被一点一点的分解。

“你是活人?!”

从“天空之王”伊西多尸体上复活的亡灵施法者语气中透露出强烈的震惊。

要知道自从他“醒来”并产生自我意识之后,除了奥术花园内的那些植物之外,就没有在浮空城城内见过任何活着的生物。

“没错,我是活人。虽然这样说有些不太合时宜,但我还是要说一句非常荣幸能够见到您本人,伊西多大师。要知道在很长一段时间,您可都是我最尊敬和仰慕的大法师。尤其是气锤这个法术,让我一直非常的感兴趣。”

说罢,左思单手抚胸行了一个标准的法师礼。

顾名思义,气锤就是通过操控和压缩空气,来达到瞬间给予目标剧烈撞击效果的法术。

而且还根据学习难度和威力的不同,被划分成了好几个档次。

其中威力最大的甚至可以一击撞塌数米厚的城墙,哪怕是巨龙这样的生物挨上一下也不死也得半残。

只可惜,这个法术是伊西多的专属,根本没有传授给其他任何人,哪怕是自己的学徒也不例外。

事实上,按照原本的计划,左思还打算等成功控制中央高塔收复普兰提亚浮空城,就立刻着手搜刮一下那些大法师们的高塔,顺便看看能不能找到一些对方专属的魔法,又或是研究笔记。

最好是能够把所有派系的魔法知识系统性的整理出来,然后作为组织发展壮大的养料。

毕竟这个世界和费伦大陆的魔法是可以相互转化的。

如果那些最威力惊人的最高级魔法转化成功,立刻会多出二三十个可供选择的传奇法术。

“伊西多?这是我生前的名字吗?”不死生物施法者用极其沙哑的声音问道。

很显然,他并没有太多关于自己活着时候的记忆,浑浊的眼睛里透露出疑惑与不解。

左思轻轻点了点头:“是的。您是这座浮空城法师议会的最高领导者,同样也是这个世界最强大的法师之一。

您所创造的星陨,是目前唯一能够在理论上击落并摧毁浮空城的法术。

在瘟疫爆发之前,您几乎站在了这个世界魔法道路的最眼前,是受到无数人尊敬的引路者。

如果可以的话,我真不想跟您成为敌人。”

“你知道这座浮空城里发生了什么,对吗?”

另外一名在在圣剑斩击下侥幸活下来的不死生物施法者有些畏惧的盯着圣剑,同时忍不住追问了一句。

由于记忆的缺失,他们这些突然进化出主观意识和神智,甚至是恢复了零散记忆碎片的高级亡灵生物,都会不由自主想要搞清楚自己的过去。

只可惜,除了少数残留下来潦草且混乱的字条之外,根本没有找到太多有用的信息。

并不是每个人都像左思那样,有经常写日记的习惯,把所有重要的事情和自己的想法都记录在书本上。

因为这在大多数法师看来写日记是一种坏习惯,一旦被敌人发现或是看到,就有可能暴露自身的弱点。

有些法师更是连实验笔记都不做,把所有的内容都记在脑子里,这样一来就没有任何人能够窃取自己的秘密和研究成果。

当然,像后者这么极端的终究只是少数。

“是的,我不仅知道发生了什么,而且也知道伱们几位生前的名字和身份。”

左思的手指轻轻划过圣剑的剑身,感受着皮肤传来的轻微刺痛。

虽然在他的改造下,这柄剑已经不再像卡索弥尔那样仅有圣武士才能使用,但仍旧会排斥邪恶阵营的生物的触碰。

如果触碰者是不死生物,那么在下一秒就被冒出的神圣火焰所吞噬。

好在旅法师的火花能在某种程度上吸收圣剑释放出来灼烧持有者的能量。

所以左思握住剑柄的手仅仅是稍微有些发红,就像是摸到了什么烫的东西一样。

“所以……你是这座浮空城的居民?”伊西多继续试探道。

“我是阿斯塔大法师的学徒。您对这个名字还有印象吗?”

左思明显也对这些在自然环境下进化出自我意识和神智的不死生物施法者很感兴趣,想要搞清楚对方目前的状态。

尤其是他们最重要的灵魂,是否还是原来的那个。

伊西多眉头紧锁的沉思了半天,最后才用略带无奈的语气说道:“这个名字给我一种很熟悉的感觉,但不知道为什么就是想不起来了。能麻烦你告诉我他是谁吗?”

“他跟你们所有人一样,都是浮空城法师议会的高级成员,而且跟您本人还有那么点私人恩怨。不过这些都已经不重要了,因为导师已经死了,是我亲手终结了他的生命,接下来该轮到您了。”

在说这番话的时候,左思突然毫无征兆的启动了圣剑内每天一次的【阳炎爆】。

瞬间!

正能量再次以金色光芒和神圣火焰的形态席卷了周围。

不过这一次在场的不死生物施法者们显然已经了准备,其中三个选择使用变化系魔法直接改变自己的种族,成功避免了正能量对于亡灵致命的伤害。

还有些在释放出类似能量护盾之类的法术,将神圣的正能量火焰挡在外面。

只有一个来不及做出反应,亦或是根本不会类似法术的家伙,发出了痛苦无比的惨叫。

然后在惨叫声中,整个身体轰然爆炸,连带灵魂一起冲这个世界消失了。

“一起动手!杀了他!”

伊西多大喝一声,起手就是瞬发自己最得意的气锤。

左思只觉得自己的胸口像是突然被什么东西重重撞了一下,整个人便不受控制的向后飞去。

在飞行的这不到两三秒钟时间,依稀可以看到另外几名不死生物施法者纷纷以极快的速度释放出自己所能够记忆起的法术,其中有不少都是他以前垂涎过的专属魔法,嘴角微微上扬露出了阴险的笑容。

就在这些铺天盖地的法术即将命中的刹那,另外一柄神器突然释放出一道深蓝色的光幕。

所有打在这道光幕上的法术,都瞬间消失的无影无踪。

还没等对方反应过来发生了什么,左思就反手一挥瞬间将这些法术一个不落的反弹回去。

轰!轰!轰!轰! 伴随着猛烈的爆炸和各种剧烈能量反应,一名不死生物施法者当场被炸得粉身碎骨,下半身和双臂都消失了,只剩下上半身的脑袋跟躯干。

还有一个家伙被自己所释放的奥术弹幕反噬,身体就如同被六管加特林扫射过一样变得千疮百孔。

不过对于不死生物来说,这显然并不是什么太大的问题。

只要对着自己释放几个负能量法术,很快就会恢复如初。

至于被气锤打飞的左思,在半空中翻了个身很快便稳稳落在地上。

不用问也知道,通过刚才的观察和反弹,他已经大概搞清楚了这些法术的基本原理和构造,稍微花点时间就能够通过反向推演得到自己想要的结果。

而且他早就加持了一大堆防护魔法,所以气锤并未造成任何实际伤害。

毫无疑问,这个世界虽然也有法术反制之类的技巧,但却从未出现过把敌人成功释放出的法术反弹回去的例子。

更何况这些由大法师尸体演变来的不死生物施法者,记忆原本就是残缺且碎片化的,因此纷纷露出无比警惕和凝重的表情。

毕竟他们之所以能够控制普兰提亚浮空城的核心区域,靠的就是这些因为不知名原因保留下来的施法能力。

可现在,他们所依仗的法术非但没办法解决掉左眼前的活人,而且会变成对方手中的武器,这无疑带来了相当巨大的心理冲击。

“抱歉,我已经不是以前那个任由你们揉捏的无名小卒了。”左思意味深长的说道。

尽管他也知道,这些家伙根本仅仅只是从尸体复活而来的不死生物,跟议会中那些真正的大法师差得远呢。

但在看到这些曾经只能仰望的存在,此刻在自己眼前表现出不知所措的样子,还是会忍不住会感到一种前所未有的愉悦跟满足。

Isidor undoubtedly sensed Zuo Si's intention, and instantly released astonishing negative energy and arcane magic energy from his body.

Seeing this, several other undead creatures that had not yet lost their ability to cast spells immediately surrounded him and formed a circle, obviously to perform a magical ritual.

"That's right. I am determined to take over the floating city of Plantia. No matter who stands in my way, I will kick them away without hesitation."

Zuo Si did not hide anything and expressed his attitude openly.

As the force wall magic surrounding the central tower was countered by the liches, a large number of constructs and high-level undead armies finally began to show their power, defeating the lords who controlled the low-level undead creatures.

Many mage towers that served as strongholds quickly fell under the fierce attack.

Every time a wizard tower is captured, Vanessa will immediately send people to take over and connect it with her own wizard tower behind it, eventually gaining actual control over an area of ​​the block.

Some lords who had originally submitted to these high-level undead spellcasters even chose to surrender in order to avoid being killed.

It can be said that the situation in the entire floating city has now been reversed.

As long as these last few guys are killed, Zuo Si will become the supreme master here.

As for things like turning the other party into a card, I basically don't even want to think about it.

Because except for vampires and half-ghouls who still retain some characteristics of living people, it is impossible for most intelligent undead to fall into a coma or lose consciousness.

This means that unless the level of the Planeswalker and the Spark forms an absolute crushing advantage over them, there is a high probability that the seal will fail as long as the opponent maintains a strong sense of resistance.

Although arcane magic, divine magic and the special abilities of priests can be used to force the other party to obey temporarily, this kind of resistance from the heart cannot be erased.

This is also why when Zuo Si creates advanced undead creatures, he basically does not give them intelligence, consciousness, and independent thinking ability.

"So we are mortal enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation or negotiation. Very good! In this case, I have nothing to worry about."

After saying that, Isidor suddenly raised the staff inlaid with a giant sapphire in his hand and continuously injected the magical power in his body into it.

Other undead spellcasters also quickly began to chant spells and transfer their magic power over.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling blue beam of light shot out from the top, tearing apart the dark clouds covering the sky above.

Immediately afterwards, a huge magic circle opened in the sky, forming a black hole that was larger than the floating city of Plantia.

The next second...

A comet with a diameter of several kilometers emerged from the other end of the black hole and fell downward at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

The high temperature and heat generated by friction with the air during the fall makes it look like it is wrapped in a layer of red coat.

You don't need to ask to know the name of this spell is Starfall! Among the many spells invented by Isidor, this is the most powerful and destructive magic, which can even cause large-scale climate change.

It is said that when he used this spell for the first time more than a hundred years ago, he directly destroyed a country on the opposite side of the continent that attempted to challenge the Mage Council's rule over the world.

The country's capital was reduced to ashes on the spot by the comet's impact, and not even a ruin was left afterwards. Only a huge deep pit was left there to warn all those who dared to challenge the wizard.

At the same time, the earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions caused by the impact left the entire country devastated in the aftermath.

The dust that was raised covered the sky, causing it to be gray for several years in a row. Not only did the ambient temperature drop rapidly, but crop yields also dropped drastically, and tens of millions of civilians starved to death as a result.

Those who survived were all infected with a terrible cough and eventually died in pain and torture. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably "pneumoconiosis" caused by inhaling too much dust.

To this day, people living on that continent are still struggling to survive in an extremely harsh environment, and civilization has regressed to the primitive tribal era.

Such a terrible disaster, let alone in a world with relatively backward productivity, even in modern regional society, I am afraid that few countries can withstand it.

It was precisely because of witnessing the power of Falling Stars that the Mage Council determined that the spell was enough to threaten the floating city with countless magical protections, and it has been banned from being used at will since then.

But now, it is estimated that all members of the Mage Council have died.

Moreover, Isidor is not the supreme leader of the floating city of Plantia who had a human identity before, but an undead who was resurrected from a corpse. Naturally, he would not care about the terrible consequences of using meteorites.

"Oh - my God! Goddess of Magic! Is this the best and most powerful magic in the world?" Jeffrey opened his mouth and exclaimed like crazy.

As a great wizard who has mastered the Nine-Ring Magic and is on the path to becoming a legend, he already knows the names and effects of several legendary spells through information within the organization and some external rumors.

But among these legendary spells, none of them could make people feel so shocked from the heart like the one before them.

After all, it is not a meteorite with a diameter of several meters, tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, but a comet measured in kilometers.

In Faerun, apart from the elves in ancient times who used a magic ritual to tear the entire continent apart, there are almost no other mortals who can master this super spell that can be called "world destruction".

"Mr. Soth is right! This world is a huge treasure for us! If we can learn all the advanced magic, the Red Robe Mage will be nothing in front of the organization."

Even Tyrantil, who always liked to remain calm and rational, couldn't help but tremble in his voice.

Because the huge benefits brought by occupying the floating city have far exceeded the limits of his imagination.

"Everyone! Please don't be happy too soon! Now we must find a way to stop the comet from falling and destroying this floating city that belongs to us!" Vanessa reminded loudly.

"What do you think of using the force wall technique? We can set up multiple layers of force walls above our floating city to offset the horrific impact of the meteorite impact?"

Another lich quickly gave the solution he could think of.

As we all know, the force wall technique uses magical power to create a transparent wall out of thin air that is invisible to the naked eye.

Theoretically, it is immune to almost all types of damage, except for dispel magic effects and disintegrate.

Therefore, as long as there is enough force wall between the comet and the floating city, it can slow down the speed of its impact and reduce the possible damage.

If the force wall is placed well, it can also cut the comet into several pieces so that it cannot destroy the main body of the floating city.

Jeffrey immediately shook his head vigorously. "No, it won't work. Look at the red outer layer of the comet. Its temperature must be very high. Once it breaks and triggers a large-scale meteor shower, the consequences will be no better than being hit directly."

"Then what do you say we should do? Are we going to try our luck by making a wish?"

"I think even if it's a wishing spell, at best it can only slightly change the angle of impact."

"Can we try to use the Gate to Another World to teleport the comet away? For example, throw it to the astral world or other dimensions?"

"Are you kidding? How can the Gate to Another World contain such a large volume?"

For a moment, the liches were arguing about how to deal with the threat of the comet.

Just when they were thinking over and over and couldn't come up with a good solution, they suddenly noticed that Zuo Si not far away was holding up a red card in his hand.

The moment the card is activated!

The dark clouds in the sky next to it were also torn apart, and an almost identical black hole appeared.

Then a second comet fell from the sky, landing at a completely different angle.

Judging from the angle and trajectory of the latter's fall, it will collide with the second comet halfway.

Such a strange situation not only stunned Vanessa and other liches, but even the undead spellcasters who joined forces to release the meteorite were also stunned.

They couldn't believe it even in their dreams that this super magic that they used as their trump card could be copied and pasted so easily by their opponents.

Just like that, under the gaze of countless eyes, a few minutes later, the two comets collided in mid-air.

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The deafening roar shattered the dark clouds covering the sky for hundreds of kilometers.

The shock wave that spread in all directions alone was enough to cut the nearest mountain in half. A large amount of rubble rolled down from the heights, completely submerging a small town at the foot of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, after the comet shattered, thousands of meteorites left fiery red tracks in the sky like raindrops, and then fell to the ground, igniting all the weeds and trees, quickly forming a vast sea of ​​fire.

Fortunately, there is an energy shield protecting the floating city, and most of the meteorites did not cause any damage.

Those with larger sizes were also bounced away by the angled force walls released by the liches.

"You...what on earth did you do?"

After a long silence, Isidor finally broke the silence.

"you guess!"

Zuo Si instantly revealed a very evil smile.

Apparently, he had just tried out the upgraded [Magic Card: Make It Echo].

This card can record a successfully cast spell on any target other than itself, and then use it within one minute.

When I first got it, it was only at level 5, so at best it could copy spells below the ninth level.

But after upgrading to LV8, you can copy most legendary magic.

This is also the reason why he is not afraid of legendary wizards such as Manshoon and Sazastan using their legendary spells.

Any spell cast in front of the planeswalker may affect himself in the next second.

As the number of cards in hand increases, Zuo Si has more options to use when dealing with enemies.

Just when the enemy has cracked one of the battle strategies through deep thinking, he can immediately come up with several or even dozens of new methods.

Seeing that their strongest trump card, Falling Star, did not cause any damage, this group of undead spellcasters finally began to back off.

However, the floating city currently prohibits all teleportation magic or flying magic. Unless they are also planeswalkers and have the ability to tear through space to go to the dark void, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape.

In desperation, these guys could only continue to work together to try to find an opportunity to defeat Zuo Si.

But unfortunately all these attempts ultimately failed.

Because low-level spells have no effect on Zuo Si at all, high-level spells and magic rituals require instant preparation, and if the time is even a little longer, they will be destroyed by the creator's ability.

Over time, when their magic power was finally drained away bit by bit, these undead spellcasters who were once great wizards finally came to the end of their lives.

As Isidor was purified by the holy sword emitting golden light, the war to determine the ownership of the floating city of Plantia finally came to an end.

Although there are still a large number of low-level undead and lords hiding in some houses, basements and streets, they no longer pose any threat.

With just a little effort to clean up, the city will be completely under control.

Of course, there is one very important thing that must be done before that, which is to remove the barrier set up by the central tower.

For others, this can be quite difficult.

But for Zuo Si, it was nothing more than desperately absorbing the energy that maintained the barrier until the barrier could no longer maintain its stability and finally collapsed.

However, since the energy of the central tower is provided by the heart of the earth vein, it would take him several days.

During this period, the liches took the opportunity to complete the cleanup of the floating city and collected the books and notes in other towers and compiled them into a book.

Since they had learned the language and writing of this world beforehand, they had no difficulty in learning and reading this knowledge.

In just about three to five days, a lot of spells were converted into each other.

Just as Vanessa, Jeffrey and other core members of the organization were excitedly exchanging their views and experiences, the entire floating city suddenly shook violently, and then began to fall straight down from a height of thousands of meters.

At the same time, the magic barrier that prohibited teleportation and flight also disappeared.

Because the speed was so fast, there was even a brief sense of weightlessness around.

Fortunately, it was very short-lived and the falling stopped after just a few seconds.

At this time, the liches had no time to care about their own research. They immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the main entrance of the central tower.

I saw that the original seal had disappeared, and the tightly closed door was opened at some point, revealing a path leading to the inside.

Without any hesitation!

Vanessa was the first to lead the way in.

The moment his foot stepped on the stairs, his whole body was instantly enveloped by a force of energy, and then his eyes blurred and he was teleported to a space that should be deep underground.

A few seconds later, the other liches were teleported over one after another.

Through the faint light around them, they finally saw with their own eyes the energy core of the floating city, a huge prismatic crystal four meters high and one meter wide standing in the middle of the cave.

"Is this the heart of the earth vein?"

Jeffrey walked closer and carefully reached out to touch the surface.

The moment his dry fingers touched the crystal, his whole body immediately broke free from the influence of gravity and floated up from the ground.

Not only that!

The abundant earth magic energy poured into his already dead body like a tide, causing his bones to become severely crystallized in less than a minute.

In order to prevent himself from being blown up, Jeffrey quickly withdrew his hand and took several steps back.

"Don't touch the Earth Core directly with your body. This is a very dangerous and reckless behavior. As I told you, this treasure is directly connected to the Earth Core energy inside the planet, and can even provide the entire floating city with energy far exceeding its needs..."

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Zuo Si slowly walked out from the dark shadows.

At this moment, he was no longer the same as usual, but was emitting dazzling arcane light from his entire body.

Whether it is the cells that constitute the most basic units of the body or the blood flowing in the blood vessels, all of them have been replaced by the purest and most terrifying energy.

Obviously, this is the result of constantly absorbing energy to destroy the barrier these days.

Even as a planeswalker, he couldn't digest so much energy at once, so he could only temporarily use his body as a container.

Because of the existence of sparks, the body of a planeswalker will not crystallize quickly like that of an ordinary person after enduring energy beyond his or her limits.

However, in this state, it is impossible to use any magic or abilities.

"Sir, what are you doing..."

Vanessa undoubtedly noticed something wrong with Zuo Si's body.

"Don't worry, it's just a little trouble. I can just consume the energy or make a magic item and everything will be back to normal." Zuo Si shrugged indifferently.

Judging from his current appearance, which is like that of a descended god, if he returns to the continent of Faerun, he will most likely be mistaken for an incarnation of a god or a saint.

"I see. So how do we control this complex and huge central tower now?"

Vanessa couldn't wait to raise the issue that concerned her most.

Zuo Si smiled and replied, "It's actually very simple! According to the magic agreement set by the original builders of the floating city of Plantia, as long as all of us join this organization called the Mage Council and then vote for a supreme leader, we can immediately gain the highest authority."

"Magic agreement? You mean, this floating city is operated by a set of highly binding clauses?" Jeffrey showed an expression of great surprise.

"Yes. Come on, let me take you to visit this wizard tower and the Supreme Codex stored in the secret room."

As he spoke, Zuo Si activated the teleportation device to teleport everyone from the space where the Earth Vein Heart was located to the middle level of the Mage Tower.

Under his leadership, the liches from Faerun were quickly attracted by the unique magical skills of this world.
