Chapter 373: Shining Oil and Dragon Engine (10,000 words long chapter, please subscribe)



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 controlled 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 the 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.

沉默了良久,塞尔泽终于从那种无法用语言形容的震惊中回过神来,缓缓合上摆放在桌子上的皮箱,用颇为感慨的声音说道:“索斯阁下还真是信守承诺,这么快就给我们送来了一份无与伦比的巨大惊喜。请放心,我们会好好利用这些粮食,保证不会让他吃亏。最后,请务必转达六人评议会的感激。”

“您真是太客气了。主人一直非常珍惜与诸位的亲密合作,并且希望这种良好的关系能一直保持下去。”乌瑟亚面带微笑的客气道。

“这是我们的荣幸。事实上,索斯阁下早就已经是阿斯卡特拉和安姆不可或缺的一员。或许在未来某个适当的时机,我们会增加一个席位,让六人评议会变成七人,让他也参与到国家的决策中来。”

塞尔泽·塞勒姆直截了当给出了一个重磅承诺。

因为通过箱子里海量的粮食,还有眼前这个以仆人身份自居的深狱炼魔,都让他意识到是时候给左思更多的权力和地位了。

毕竟眼下已经不再是左思需要安姆,而是安姆离不开对方。

尽管最开始的时候,乌瑟亚与六人评议会的见面并不算太愉快,可到最后居然出现了宾主尽欢的场面。

后者完全不在意前者是个可怕的魔鬼,甚至与其进行握手和拥抱,实在是充满了讽刺意味。

事实再一次证明,唯利是图的商人才不在乎什么善恶,更无所谓跟谁合作,只要对方能给自己带来足够的好处就行。

……

与此同时,法师塔内的左思眼下正在与传奇精灵魔射手进行一场决定双方未来关系的谈话。

刚刚看完由凯尔本提供的永聚岛资料,以及两张失踪精灵魔射手的画像,兰提斯有些无奈的叹了口气说道:“抱歉,我想这两个人应该都跟我没什么太大的关系。”

“哦?为什么这么说?我觉得第二张跟你长得还蛮像的。”左思有些好奇的问。

很显然,在他眼中,大部分金精灵男性的五官跟长相都差不多,至少光从画像对比上看不出太过明显的差异。

兰提斯赶忙摇头纠正道:“不,不,不,完全不同。

请注意,这位魔射手眼睛周围的眼角有向后延伸的纹路,但我却根本没有。

而且他的手指要比我的长一点,所以拉弓的动作肯定也有所不同。

看来我应该不是这个世界的原住民,而是来自于其他位面。”

“好吧。那你未来有什么打算呢?”

左思显然并不打算在这个问题上做过多纠缠,而是主动转移了话题。

“打算?嗯……说实话,我也不知道。因为对于过去发生的事情我一点印象都没有,甚至不知道自己什么时候被夺心魔捕获并控制了,现在只能走一步算一步吧。”

在说这番话的时候,兰提斯眼神中透露出无奈与茫然。

尽管他住在法师塔的时候,偶尔也会跟随半兽人瑞特、烈焰术士阿莱娜和矮人狂战士寇根一起外出冒险,时不时还会教导那些想要成为游侠的小狼人弓弩射击技巧,表面看上去过得还算不错,但内心之中却始终都是孤独的。

因为这位传奇精灵魔射手缺乏一个明确的人生目标,仅仅只是单纯为了活着而活着。

左思敏锐的察觉到了这一点,立刻饶有兴致的提议道:“你愿意来做我的随从吗?就像戴维安那样永生不死,可以与我一起前往各个不同的时空,去探索那些前所未见的位面,跟各种各样强敌交手吗?”

“随从?”

兰提斯抬起头两眼微微放光。

对于戴维安最近一段时间天翻地覆的变化,他可是一直都看在眼里,完全无法理解这个忠诚勇敢的战士,究竟是如何做到在短时间内发生如此天翻地覆的变化。

尤其是巨龙形态下那汹涌澎湃的火元素之力,让精灵魔射手一度认为这是个来自火元素位面的领主。

“是的,随从。

我拥有一种极为特殊的能力,可以将任何生物转化成另外一种正常人无法理解的状态。

在这种状态下,就算是被杀死也仅仅只是消失一段时间,用不了多久便能重获新生。

而且我还可以通过支付一些代价,让自己的随从变得更加强大。

既然你对自己的人生和未来感到不知所措、迷茫,不如就让我来为其赋予一个目标如何? 至少情况肯定不会比维持现状更糟糕。”

左思意味深长的正式发出邀请。

因为在他看来,放任一名传奇精灵魔射手这样子自甘堕落下去实在是太浪费了。

谁也不知道兰提斯今年有多少岁了,究竟还能活多久。

要是有一天他因为寿命耗尽突然死亡,那将是一个巨大的损失。

“为人生和未来赋予一个目标吗……”

兰提斯整个人像是受到了什么刺激一样,低下头盯着自己那双因为长期拉弓而长满老茧的手出神,两只眼睛也变得十分空洞。

也许是长期被夺心魔控制、洗脑的缘故,也有可能是记忆出现了太多的缺失,总之他的精神状态看起来非常奇怪。

足足过了好几分钟,兰提斯的瞳孔才终于恢复聚焦,用一种无所谓的语气回应道:“好,我同意了。与其像现在这样浑浑噩噩的活着,还不如给自己找点刺激。反正按照你的说法,我又不会真的死掉。”

“棒极了!相信我,你不会为自己今天做出的选择而感到后悔。现在,闭上眼睛放开自己的心灵,不要做任何抵抗。”

说着,左思抬起手发动火花的力量笼罩了对方。

下一秒……

刺眼的光团便将传奇精灵魔射手封印起来变成了一张生物卡牌。

紧跟着,他又从自己的宝库挑选出一些珍贵的材料,将原本普通的生物牌转化成随从,并且直接将其卡牌等级提升到最高。

【生物牌:随从——风暴魔射手(风元素血脉)】

【LV11蓝色卡牌(可升级)】

【卡牌品质:唯一】

【效果:召唤风暴魔射手——兰提斯(初始等级为LV23,等级和实力会随着战斗与杀戮而不断提高,最高上限为LV50)为你服务,直到被杀死为止。

他在人类形态下装备有+5高等精灵锁子甲、龙靴、超级敏捷腰带、神射手护腕、+6疾风之弓,并且掌握“雷暴箭术”和“速攻近战综合格斗技巧(武器仅限匕首和短剑)”

其中“雷暴箭术”既能射出加持魔法效果的实体箭矢,也能射出由能量聚集而成的闪电束。

其中闪电束分为两种形态。

一种相当于三环魔法闪电术的效果,可以对直线范围内的敌人造成巨大杀伤; 另外一种则相当于六环魔法连环闪电,能够对目标及其周围所有生物造成群体杀伤。

该能量箭矢的威力并非固定,而是会随着等级的上升而不断提高。

除此之外,还可以随意使用风元素的力量来让自己获得随意飞行的能力和加速移动的效果,甚至是形成风墙来吹散敌人射过来的箭矢。

当兰提斯遭遇围攻的时候,可以将自己转化成为一个体型巨大的风元素王子,引发一场半径为一公里的恐怖雷电风暴,对该范围不分敌我所有的目标进行无差别攻击,每天还能召唤六个风元素长老或是更多低级风元素来帮助自己作战。

同样的,这种变身能力和召唤风元素能力也会随着等级的提升而变强。

最初(LV23)是风元素王子,每提升三级体型和力量都会有明显增加,当达到LV29的时候将会晋升为风元素领主,LV35的时候将会变为风元素亲王】

【使用该卡牌需要支付一百五十点蓝色魔力,或者一百五十点通用魔力】

【当随从——风暴魔射手兰提斯战死后,该卡牌自动进入墓地等待重生,并且等级将回归最初状态,时间为一百天】

看着卡牌上密密麻麻一连串的详细信息,左思立刻露出了满意的笑容:“不错!果然还是风元素裔的力量更适合魔射手这种远程攻击职业。

有了风元素之力的加持,任何想要靠近兰提斯的敌人都必将付出惨痛代价。

最重要的是,我终于掌握了关于魔射手全部的知识……”

伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,左思把之前像汉丁顿这样的射手生物牌全部找出来,对其进行了大批量的升级,一直到耗光法力池里所有能量才意犹未尽的停下来。

毫无疑问,与普通的远程射手比起来,魔射手在很多方面显然都拥有压倒性的优势。

不管是附魔箭、灌法箭、追踪箭、箭雨,还是终极能力死亡箭,都可以对那些强大的敌人造成足够威胁。

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 draws had accumulated unintentionally, I now have more than fifty 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 subsequently fell 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.
