There is no doubt that being promoted directly from a small devil to a hellish devil was a huge surprise that could not be described in words for him.
Because when he was cut off from the connection with hell and made into a card, he thought that his strength and appearance would always remain at the level of a little devil, and he could only become stronger by constantly learning and training to gain professional levels.
In fact, he had already made mental preparations for this, and began to tap into the magical power in the devil's blood, becoming a low-level warlock.
But what Usea never expected was that his unfathomable master actually gained some kind of ability similar to that of a devil duke or even a level lord after returning from a trip, and could promote or demote any devil.
Although he was not quite sure where this ability came from, it was certain that the bard named Kels had an inseparable connection with the forces of Hell.
It is very likely that his master has reached some unknown deal with the other party.
As for the content of the transaction, Usea didn't dare to ask unless Zuo Si told him.
But he was undoubtedly excited in his heart to have transformed overnight from a small figure who could only hide behind the scenes and play tricks into a big devil who could easily subvert a city or even a country.
If it were not without permission, this guy would even randomly select a few "lucky ones" from the adventurers and mercenaries in the taverns and inns, lead them to the sewers or the forest outside the city, and test his strength as the most powerful devil in hell.
But now...
Usea thought it would be better to just complete the task assigned by his master first.
In this way, he came straight to the door of the administrative district government office building with a huge amount of food that was enough to destroy the entire agricultural production of Sambia.
After identifying himself to the guard at the door and showing his signet ring, he was immediately taken to the room at the top of the building that was reserved for the six-member council.
However, the moment they stepped over the threshold, two of the six people who were originally sitting on chairs and held the highest power in the country of Amn suddenly stood up as if stimulated, and activated a large number of protective spells without saying a word.
Obviously, they all wore magical equipment with a constant effect similar to [True Seeing].
Therefore, he could see through the terrifying aura of the Hell Demon hidden behind the transformation magic at a glance.
The unusual behavior of two members of the six-member council instantly made the other four people subconsciously aware of the danger, and they quickly stood up and prepared for battle.
Especially the representative of the Shadow Thieves Guild, who simply rolled under the table and entered stealth mode, disappearing without a trace.
There was also a guy dressed as a wizard, who reached out to activate the hidden magic alarm on the table, calling for the masked wizard and guards to come for help.
But before he could take any action, Uthea took the lead and bowed gracefully with one hand on his chest, saying with a smile: "Everyone, please don't be so nervous. I have no ill intentions. I am just following the master's orders to bring you some information and some things."
"Master? You mean... I am Soth's servant?"
A six-member council member dressed as a wizard asked in a tone of great surprise.
Because in his impression, the Hell Demon is not an easy character to deal with. Only the most powerful and top spellcasters can successfully summon and control this terrible hell devil.
"That's right! If I had other intentions, I wouldn't have entered the building in this way."
After saying that, Usea ignored the vigilant and fearful looks of these people, gently placed the box in his hand, the investigation report and the list in his arms on the table, and then slowly retreated to the door of the room.
He could sense that these humans in front of him were extremely afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, so he was very "considerate" and left a distance between them that was enough to give them a sense of security.
But what he couldn't understand was that Zuo Si, as his master, was obviously many times more powerful, dangerous, and evil than himself, but why had the Six-member Council of Am never shown such nervousness?
He could even discuss with his master how to deal with potential enemies like Sambia, and how to divide up the huge profits that could be gained from victory in the trade war.
You know, if it were a demon, he might feel happy and satisfied to see mortals so scared, but for a devil who likes to work "within the system", it is not something to boast about.
After all, the more afraid you are, the more vigilant you are, and the harder it is to be deceived and exploited.
In Usea's opinion, Zuo Si's ability to do this just shows that he is better at disguise than himself and even most of the demons in hell. He can always take advantage of certain weaknesses in human nature to make the other party unconsciously lower their vigilance in order to achieve some ulterior purpose.
As the highest authority in Amn, the Council of Six is undoubtedly quite cautious.
They first used detection magic to repeatedly check the investigation report and the list. After confirming that there were no problems, they carefully picked them up and checked the contents recorded on them.
You won't know the result until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they learned that so many Mind Flayers were lurking in Athkatla, and had secretly infiltrated the political, business and Shadow Thieves Guild circles, controlling more than a dozen adventure teams and mercenary groups.
Especially the six-member council member whose family was invaded. He immediately slammed the table and roared angrily: "Assholes! How dare these damn octopus heads attack me, my son and daughter! I demand that we start a massive cleanup of the entire Athkatra immediately and eradicate them completely."
"Don't be so excited, calm down. Look at this list. They already control too many resources and power. If we use hard measures, it may cause unnecessary panic and turmoil, which is not good for our booming trade." Another member of the six-member council hurriedly dissuaded.
"Calm down? These filthy monsters have their hands in my family! How can I stay calm?"
"Then we can't just brutally purge the entire city. That would cause countless merchants, nobles, and civilians to flee out of fear."
"I agree with this point of view! In any case, we cannot disrupt the current good development of Askatla, but we must protect this business atmosphere."
"How about letting the Shadow Thieves take action? If we disguise the operation of clearing out the Lurkers as a war between guilds, it will cause much less panic."
"Please! What do you think our Shadow Thieves Guild is? Most thieves and assassins can't handle monsters like the Mind Flayer that can control minds and read memories at will. I think it should be left to the Masked Mages Guild."
"Leave it to the masked wizard? Don't be ridiculous! With their current manpower, it's already quite a struggle to suppress the Emerald Society and those daring adventurers."
…
For a moment, the members of the six-member council were arguing because of internal differences of opinion.
As we all know, Amn's wealth and prosperity are built on massive trade.
Especially after Zuo Si's arrival, he first started a series of very profitable trades on the Nelanther Islands, including sugar, salt, fishing, pearl farming, rum, condiment manufacturing and spice planting. Then he funded the opening of a safe route to the Maztec New World. Finally, he brought a large number of cheap industrial products from Earth and planned to monopolize and sell them. Ascatla has become one of the most important commodity distribution centers on the continent of Faerun.
Its prosperity has been raised to an unknown level compared to the past.
Just look at the berths at the dock, which have been renovated and expanded three times, and the densely packed merchant ships anchored near the harbor, and you will know how bustling the Gold Coin City is today.
The fees paid by ships for mooring and landing alone are a considerable figure every day, not to mention the ever-increasing operating and commercial taxes.
The permanent population has also skyrocketed from over 100,000 to over 400,000 now, and it seems to be on par with Port Kalin.
Among them, merchants, nobles and their guards, followers and sailors from all over the world accounted for almost one third.
The rest are bankrupt farmers, beggars, craftsmen, vendors, adventurers, mercenaries, etc. who flocked in from the countryside and other places in search of a chance to change their fate.
For a long time, the city council has been troubled by the sudden population surge, the deterioration of public security caused by the population increase, and the rising land and housing prices in the city.
As a last resort, they had to collect a large amount of tax money to buy land that was originally worthless from civilians and the poor, and began to re-plan the no-man's land of the bridge area, slums and dock shantytowns.
Using cheap cement and bricks purchased from Zuo Si, a large number of four- to five-story buildings were built to accommodate ordinary families who were not very wealthy but could provide labor and create wealth.
Since the price of both purchase and rental is very low, it is deeply loved by the lower class people.
Of course, for a house like this, don't even think about things like running water systems that cost a lot of money.
Generally, a large public water tank is built in an open space downstairs, connected to the river that runs through the city on one side and to the sewer on the other side, with some stones and plant fibers in the middle to filter out impurities.
Although it would be a bit crowded during the peak water usage periods in the morning and evening, for the poor who could not even get clean drinking water before and had to live in leaky sheds, this was one of the few "good policies" of the Amn Empire since its founding.
Even the Church of Ilmater, the god of suffering, which has never been very fond of the government, secretly praised the greedy Council of Six for finally doing something "humane".
Precisely because the current situation in Askatla is so good and the wealth of major families and chambers of commerce is increasing at an unimaginable rate, it would be best not to make any major moves from the perspective of the ruling class.
Otherwise, once this thriving development is interrupted or some negative effects are triggered, the losses will be huge.
It has to be said that the short-sightedness of the merchant class and capital is vividly reflected in these supreme rulers of Am.
It was exactly the same as when they sold all the battleships, shipyards and workers that were losing money instead of making money to Zuo Si.
Looking at the group of humans in front of him who were arguing fiercely about how to eliminate the lurkers without suffering huge losses, Usea, the devil, had a flash of contempt and disdain in his eyes.
Because he knew very well that Amn's current prosperity was built on the escort of the Nelanther Islands fleet.
If one day, Zuo Si ordered that protection for Amn's merchant ships would no longer be provided, or he simply took action himself and indiscriminately intercepted Amn's merchant ships.
Then the country will instantly fall into a huge economic crisis, and in serious cases even the entire ruling system will collapse rapidly in a short period of time.
In fact, as their dual dependence on Zuo Si in military and economic terms grew deeper and deeper, the Six-Man Council had not yet realized that they had been quietly controlled.
Especially with the rise of a number of families headed by Bernard and his father-in-law, the entire Am is rapidly forming a situation where new and old forces coexist.
Among them, the old forces are naturally the old families headed by the six judges, which have long held the highest power.
They firmly control the country's richest lands and previously most profitable business routes and industries, accumulating staggering wealth and power over hundreds of years.
The new forces, like Bernard, have successfully taken sides and gained a lot of opportunities and benefits from Zuo Si's rise. In a short period of time, they have earned huge wealth that is no less than the former like a snowball. They are eyeing the positions that may be vacated in the six-member council.
Although the economic situation is very good, everyone can have their own piece of cake, so the conflicts between them are not sharp.
But if this situation ends one day, the new and old forces will inevitably engage in a life-and-death struggle on this land.
At that time, Zuo Si only needs to provide a little help, and the new faction can easily win and take over the entire country.
The more he thought about it, the more Usea felt that compared with his master's seemingly casual, but actually thorough, obscure and difficult to detect conspiracy, he was still too immature and superficial. He needed to learn more to keep up with his master's thinking and better serve his master.
Finally, after twenty minutes of arguing, the six-member council finally made a decision.
That is, the Masked Mage Guild and the Shadow Thieves would each send out a part of their people to secretly form a few elite teams, and then hire a few elite adventurers to clean up these damn octopus heads in a way that minimizes alerting other people.
As for the Paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart, they were eliminated from the very beginning.
They are totally unsuitable for such covert activities, and they don't even understand what it means to be there at the right time. They like to take everything seriously, and if they are not careful, it will definitely cause a big uproar.
After the representative of the Shadow Thieves Guild left with the order they had just signed, the remaining five people turned their attention to the suitcase on the table.
About three or five seconds later, Selzer Salemquante, who holds the highest position and the most power in the Council, asked, "What's in this box?"
"It's food, enough to destroy the enthusiasm for agricultural production in the whole country of Sambia." Uthea replied with a smile.
"You mean... this is an enormous space magic device?"
Another member's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although space magic equipment such as dimensional bags are not scarce in the continent of Faerun, and are sold in many towns with wizard towers or red wizard concessions, the space inside and the total amount are usually not too large.
At least the Masked Mages Guild is currently unable to produce magical items that can hold tens of millions of tons of food at once like a large warehouse complex.
To be precise, this is no longer a magic item, but more like a small permanent portal connected to a demiplane.
Especially for the Amn merchants who are keen on trading, such a box is definitely no less valuable than any known artifact.
Uthea smiled slightly and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he stepped forward and opened the box in front of everyone.
moment!
The five members of the six-member council present all opened their mouths in shock.
In an enormous sealed space, there were densely packed bags of processed and packaged snow-white flour, husked rice, ground oats and barley, as well as plump soybeans, chickpeas, broad beans, and some golden dried coarse grains that were so ground that it was impossible to tell what kind of crops they were.
Both the variety and quantity have reached a level that is simply unimaginable in the primitive and backward agriculture of the continent of Faerun.
Gulp!
Selzer swallowed subconsciously and asked in a trembling voice: "How much food is here?"
Uthea answered without hesitation: “All together, the total is 40 million tons.
According to the master's calculations, including serfs, the population of Sambia is approximately between 2.5 million and 3 million.
The annual food consumption will not exceed 1.8 million tons.
But here they have enough to last them for more than 20 years.
As long as the food prices in the country are sold at low prices regardless of cost, so that the output is always far lower than the input, those landowners will stop growing food and instead grow other vegetables and fruits or simply raise poultry and livestock.
By that time, if we suddenly stop supplying cheap food, or even start purchasing it at high prices, raising the price of food, the whole of Sambia will fall into unprecedented chaos.
Their economic structure and social order will be completely destroyed. Countless serfs and civilians who cannot survive will rise up in rebellion. Conspirators and ambitious people will use this force to seize towns and villages.
When warlords in various places were plunged into civil war, whether they were merchants or landowners, they would frantically sell off their properties at extremely low prices.
The merchants of Amn can make profits by selling high-priced food while acquiring valuable and potential industries.
After plundering all the wealth accumulated by Sembia over the years in a legal manner, they would support an obedient warlord to defeat other competitors and achieve unification.
When the war was over, everything from land to industry and commerce would be completely controlled by the merchants of Am. Sembia became a country that was independent in name only but had actually become an economic colony.
If they share a little more of the profits, just like a master feeding a dog meat bone, and support a group of local vested interest groups, Amn will be able to firmly control Sembia and use it as a base to expand its influence along the coast of the Fallen Star Sea. "
There is no doubt that the grand blueprint drawn by Usea and the fact that there had never been a large-scale trade war directly targeting a country in the continent of Faerun, deeply shocked the six-member council present.
Having been involved in trading for a long time, these people are well aware of the impact that price fluctuations can have on production.
Especially with a one-time investment of 40 million tons of grain, not to mention Sembia, a country with a population of only 2.5 to 3 million, even the neighboring Kingdom of Cormyr with a population of 13 to 14 million will inevitably be affected.
What is a big deal? What is using one's own capital to hurt others?
How to play a bloodless and cruel capital game? Zuo Si taught these supreme rulers of Amn a lesson with his actual actions.
At this point, no member of the six-member council, including Selzer Salem, doubted that the trade war against arch-rival Sembia would fail.
Of course, there are exceptions like Serge, which is ruled dictatorially by red-robed wizards.
After a long silence, Selzer finally came back to his senses from the shock that could not be described in words. He slowly closed the suitcase on the table and said with emotion: "Mr. Soth really kept his promise and sent us an incomparable surprise so quickly. Please rest assured that we will make good use of the food and ensure that he will not suffer any loss. Finally, please be sure to convey the gratitude of the Six-Man Council."
"You are so polite. The master has always cherished the close cooperation with you all and hopes that this good relationship can be maintained forever." Uthea said politely with a smile.
"It is our honor. In fact, Lord Soth has long been an indispensable member of Askatra and Amn. Perhaps at an appropriate time in the future, we will add a seat, making the six-member council seven, so that he can also participate in the country's decision-making."
Selzer Salem made a big promise straight out of the gate.
Because the huge amount of food in the box and the hell demon in front of him who regarded himself as a servant made him realize that it was time to give Zuo Si more power and status.
After all, now it is no longer that Zuo Si needs Am, but that Am cannot live without him.
Although the meeting between Usia and the six-member council was not very pleasant at the beginning, it turned out to be a happy scene for both the host and the guests in the end.
The latter didn't care at all that the former was a terrible devil, and even shook hands and hugged him, which was really ironic.
Facts have once again proved that profit-seeking businessmen do not care about good or evil, and do not care who they cooperate with, as long as the other party can bring them enough benefits.
…
At the same time, Zuo Si in the Mage Tower is having a conversation with the legendary Elf Magic Archer that will determine the future relationship between the two parties.
After reading the information about Evermeet Island provided by Khelben and the portraits of the two missing elven magic archers, Lantis sighed helplessly and said, "Sorry, I don't think these two people have much to do with me."
"Oh? Why do you say that? I think the second one looks quite similar to you." Zuo Si asked curiously.
Obviously, in his eyes, the facial features and looks of most golden elf men are similar, at least there is no obvious difference just by comparing the portraits.
Lantis quickly shook his head and corrected, "No, no, no, it's completely different.
Notice that the Archer has lines around his eyes that extend back toward the corners, but I have none at all.
Also, his fingers are a bit longer than mine, so the bow-drawing motion must be different.
It seems that I am not a native of this world, but come from another dimension."
"Okay. So what are your plans for the future?"
Zuo Si obviously did not intend to dwell on this issue too much, but took the initiative to change the subject.
"Plans? Well... to be honest, I don't know. Because I have no recollection of what happened in the past. I don't even know when I was captured and controlled by the Mind Flayer. Now I can only take one step at a time."
While saying this, Lantis' eyes revealed helplessness and confusion.
Although he occasionally went out on adventures with the orc Rhett, the pyromancer Alena and the dwarf berserker Kogan when he lived in the Mage Tower, and he would occasionally teach the little werewolves who wanted to become rangers the bow and crossbow shooting skills. On the surface, he seemed to be living a good life, but he was always lonely in his heart.
Because this legendary elf magic archer lacks a clear goal in life and just lives for the sake of living.
Zuo Si was quick to notice this and immediately suggested with interest: "Would you like to be my follower? Like Davian, you can be immortal and travel with me to different time and space, explore those planes you have never seen before, and fight against all kinds of powerful enemies?"
"Follower?"
Lantis raised his head and his eyes sparkled slightly.
He had been witnessing Davidian's drastic changes in recent times, and was completely unable to understand how this loyal and brave warrior could have achieved such a drastic change in such a short period of time.
Especially the surging power of fire element in the dragon form, which made the Elf Magic Archer once believe that this was a lord from the fire element plane.
“Yes, follower.
I have a very special ability that can transform any creature into another state that normal people cannot understand.
In this state, even if you are killed, you will only disappear for a period of time and will be reborn in no time.
And I can also make my followers more powerful by paying some price.
Since you feel overwhelmed and confused about your life and future, how about letting me give it a purpose? At least the situation will definitely not be worse than maintaining the status quo. "
Zuo Si formally issued an invitation with profound meaning.
Because in his opinion, it was such a waste to let a legendary elf magic archer fall into such depravity.
No one knows how old Lantis is this year and how long he can live.
If one day he suddenly died due to exhaustion of life span, it would be a huge loss.
"Give a purpose to life and the future..."
Lantis seemed to be stimulated by something. He lowered his head and stared at his hands, which were calloused from long-term bow drawing. His eyes became very empty.
Perhaps it was because he had been controlled and brainwashed by the Mind Flayer for a long time, or perhaps it was because there were too many missing memories. In short, his mental state looked very strange.
After several minutes, Lantis' pupils finally regained focus, and he responded in a nonchalant tone: "Okay, I agree. Instead of living in a muddle like now, I might as well find some excitement for myself. Anyway, according to what you said, I won't really die."
"Great! Believe me, you won't regret the choice you made today. Now, close your eyes and open your mind. Don't resist."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and unleashed the power of sparks to cover the other party.
The next second...
The dazzling ball of light sealed the legendary Elf Magic Archer and turned it into a biological card.
Following that, he selected some precious materials from his treasure house, transformed the originally ordinary creature cards into followers, and directly upgraded their card levels to the highest.
[Creature Card: Follower - Storm Demon Archer (Wind Element Bloodline)]
[LV11 Blue Card (Upgradable)]
[Card Quality: Unique]
[Effect: Summon the Storm Demon Archer - Lantis (initial level is LV23, the level and strength will continue to increase with fighting and killing, the maximum cap is LV50) to serve you until he is killed.
In human form, he is equipped with +5 High Elf Mail, Dragon Boots, Super Agility Belt, Archer Wristguards, +6 Wind Bow, and has mastered "Thunderstorm Archery" and "Quick Attack Close Combat Mixed Martial Arts (Weapons are limited to daggers and short swords)".
Among them, "Thunderstorm Archery" can not only shoot physical arrows with magical effects, but also shoot lightning beams formed by energy accumulation.
There are two types of lightning bolts.
One is equivalent to the effect of a three-ring magic lightning spell, which can cause huge damage to enemies within a straight line range; the other is equivalent to a six-ring magic chain lightning spell, which can cause group damage to the target and all creatures around it.
The power of this energy arrow is not fixed, but will increase as the level increases.
In addition, you can also use the power of the wind element at will to give yourself the ability to fly at will and accelerate your movement, or even form a wind wall to blow away arrows shot by the enemy.
When Lantis is besieged, he can transform himself into a giant wind element prince, triggering a terrifying thunder and lightning storm with a radius of one kilometer, indiscriminately attacking all targets in the range regardless of friend or foe. He can also summon six wind element elders or more low-level wind elements to help him fight every day.
Likewise, this ability to transform and summon wind elements will become stronger as the level increases.
Initially (LV23), he is the Prince of Wind Element. With each level increase, his size and strength will increase significantly. When he reaches LV29, he will be promoted to the Lord of Wind Element. At LV35, he will become the Prince of Wind Element.
[Using this card requires 150 points of blue mana, or 150 points of general mana]
[When the follower - Storm Demon Archer Lantis dies, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth, and the level will return to the original state for 100 days]
Looking at the dense series of detailed information on the card, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Not bad! It turns out that the power of the Wind Elemental is more suitable for the long-range attack profession such as the Magic Archer.
With the blessing of the power of wind element, any enemy who wants to get close to Lantis will pay a heavy price.
Most importantly, I finally mastered all the knowledge about the Magic Archer..."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si found all the archer creature cards like Huntington and upgraded them in large quantities. He did not stop until all the energy in his mana pool was used up, feeling unsatisfied.
There is no doubt that compared with ordinary long-range shooters, magic shooters obviously have overwhelming advantages in many aspects.
Whether it's enchanted arrows, infused arrows, tracking arrows, rain of arrows, or the ultimate ability, death arrows, they can all pose enough threat to those powerful enemies.
It's a pity that the mana required to upgrade a magic archer is a bit high. In addition, the number of cards currently is really too large, so it will probably take some time to upgrade them all.
Putting away all the cards in his hand, Zuo Si immediately called out "Legacy".
Since I hadn't paid too much attention to those so-called "tasks" for a long time, and the number of card fifty draws had accumulated unintentionally, I now have more than opportunities to draw cards.
In order to see where the previous planeswalkers had been and what interesting assets they had accumulated, he chose to draw without hesitation.
After countless cards finished spinning around the pages of the book, a stack of cards appeared out of thin air in the palm of your hand.
Unlike the previous time when most of the cards were spells or creatures, the types of cards drawn this time were obviously richer.
The different land cards alone account for almost a quarter.
These include Ravnica, Dominaria, Mirrodin, Shenhe, Lorwyn and other planes where planeswalkers often visit.
Of course, if that were all, Zuo Si would not be too surprised.
What really made his scalp tingle was that among these newly drawn cards, there were several [Dragon Engine] and [Sparkling Oil].
You have to know that this thing is a specialty of the Phyrexian time and space. Although its founder and supreme ruler, Yawgmoth, is not a planeswalker, he can be as threatening as the old dragon Nicol Bolas.
Although in the thousands of years of war, the legendary mage Urza had killed the Phyrexian god with a final blow before his death, the entire time and space fell subsequently apart.
But those terrible war machines, especially the famous "Sparkling Oil" that is said to be able to corrode and pollute everything and make all worlds unite as one, can still have a devastating impact on any world.
In addition to being able to transform an entire world of organic matter into half-human, half-mechanical creatures through slow erosion, another major feature of [Sparkling Oil] is that it can limit the transmission power of the Planeswalker's Spark.
It was with this trick that Yawgmoth forced many planeswalkers to surrender and serve him.
But what's interesting is that the former planeswalker apparently also knew the danger of [Sparkling Oil], so he specially marked it with words on the card.
"The oil seems to be alive, with consciousness and life. It is dangerous and fascinating. Although I don't know why I want to collect it, it may come in handy at some critical moment. By the way, this thing works great when used with the [Dragon Engine]."
Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately felt his heart twitch violently. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck! I hope this guy has never used it on Earth. If so, the consequences will be disastrous."
However, since there is no way back, it is useless to worry now.
Moreover, with the degree of mechanization of the earth when he ignited the spark, if the [Spark Oil] were to leak, it would take only a few years for all true humans to be wiped out, and replaced by a new species composed of biological and mechanical creatures.
Of course, this new species may still retain the original human name, but both its body and mind have undergone tremendous changes.
After carefully putting away the two [Sparkling Oil] cards, Zuo Si turned his attention to the other three [Dragon Engines].
Just as the name suggests, this thing is a war weapon made by Phyrexia. It looks like a super giant dragon creature made entirely of metal.
Its size is so huge that in front of the [Dragon Engine], several ancient dragons of Faerun combined seem like insignificant little brothers.
What's even more terrifying is that this super-giant mechanical creature has the ability to repair itself. As long as it is not completely destroyed at once, it can quickly revive with full health after being provided with the corresponding raw materials.
It is said that the destructive power of a [Dragon Engine] is enough to easily destroy a country.
Unless it is a super weapon like a nuclear bomb, it is difficult for ordinary combustion, explosion and impact to cause effective damage to it. At best, it will only cause the body structure to be slightly deformed, and it will return to its original state within just a few seconds.
As for what the previous planeswalker mentioned about the better effect of using it with [Sparkling Oil], it is actually because Sparkling Oil has the ability to repair and upgrade all mechanical structures.
The reason why Phyrexia is so powerful and can threaten countless time and space in the entire multiverse is that their mechanical army is almost invincible as long as they are blessed with sparkling oil.
In order to confirm the specific size of the three [Dragon Engines] in his hand, Zuo Si specially returned to the world where the floating city was located and found an unknown place to activate one of the cards.
The next second...
A giant metal dragon with a body length of more than three thousand meters and as huge as a small mountain appeared out of thin air before their eyes.
The incomparable and stunning size alone was enough to make him gasp.
Its complex internal structure and the huge energy source located in the center of the body that can continuously provide it with power reveal a mechanical beauty that cannot be described in words.
Most importantly, the powerful combat capability of the [Dragon Engine] does not only come from its size, strength and melee ability, but also from the energy breath that spews out of its mouth.
Yes!
This thing has long-range attack capabilities, and its power is terrifying.
"Damn it! If only I could get some knowledge and technology to build a [Dragon Engine]."
Zuo Si made no secret of his desire for Phyrexian technology.
He planned to find a time to bring over a group of high-level talents from the floating city to specifically study the [Dragon-shaped Engine] in front of him to see if he could get something useful from it.
In addition, cards like [Dragon Engine] are not classified as creatures, but rather as treasures and artifacts.
Therefore, you don't need to pay too much mana when summoning, and you can switch between physical objects and cards anytime and anywhere.
Because unlike creatures like golems that require a soul to be stuffed into their creation, the [Dragon Engine] is a simple machine that requires humans to operate it.
Otherwise, it is no different from a car parked on the roadside without a driver. It is just a simple tool.
