Just as Zuo Si expected, when the Shane Empire's fleet disguised itself as returning victoriously and launched an attack on Suldofor, an important city that controls the Sea of Light and the Steam Lake, the city was completely unprepared.
A group of politicians who wanted to put on a show even arranged a grand welcome ceremony and went to the dock in person to greet them.
As expected, he was caught red-handed by the soldiers who rushed down from the boat.
The few remaining troops used to maintain public order were no match for the fierce and high-spirited soldiers of the Shane Empire. They were completely defeated in just one charge, and the entire city quickly fell.
General Taro did not even use the magic horn given to him by King Shane VII. He then personally led people to close the city gates, leaving no nobles, wealthy businessmen or slave owners a chance to escape.
After clearing the streets of the last resistance forces, what remains is naturally the much-anticipated house raiding and family extermination.
Since they could get amazing benefits from it, everyone from officers to soldiers were filled with an "enthusiasm" that could not be described in words about this matter.
They first tortured the prisoners to learn about the general situation and political inclinations of the rich in the city from the top leaders of the ruling group, and then went to "visit" each family one by one.
For those merchants who were willing to free their slaves and cooperate with the empire in enforcing the new laws, they could usually save the lives of their entire family and continue to operate their original businesses and industries by handing over half of their property.
But when it comes to nobles, slave owners and top wealthy businessmen who are unwilling to cooperate, there is only one outcome: follow the ancient traditions of the Calishite region and kill all male members of the family without leaving a single one alive. Young and beautiful women are gathered together and will be selected by officers and soldiers based on their military merits afterwards.
However, the best quality ones will almost certainly end up in the pockets of adventurers and mercenaries.
Because Shane VII followed Zuo Si's advice and introduced a large number of adventurers and mercenaries who were originally only able to operate among the civilian population into the military system.
In order to climb up and get the high rewards, these guys often fight extremely hard on the battlefield.
Most guys with a professional level of LV5 or above have basically become officers after several battles, and some have even obtained noble titles.
In addition, the entire Shane Empire is still in its infancy. There is no large ruling class or vested interest group at all, and the upward channel is almost completely open.
For example, General Taro, who was entrusted with an important task, was originally the leader of a well-known elite adventure team in the Calimshan area.
It took less than a month from joining the army to becoming a general with great power.
Although this has a lot to do with his total warrior class level of LV15 and the fact that he once killed a brown dragon.
After all, in a place as dangerous as Faerun, if you don't have some strength, you still want to be a general of the empire? I'm afraid you will die from the enemy's assassination and curse as soon as you take office.
But even so, many capable people who lack channels for advancement still see hope and want to seize this opportunity to change their class and destiny through hard work.
Don't underestimate this.
You have to know that in other places where bloodline and origin are important, if you are not a child of nobility, no matter how high your professional level is, even if you save a city or even a country, at best you will only be awarded an honorary title with more symbolic significance than practical significance and a large bounty.
The nobles would never allow an outsider to enter their circle, let alone allow "lowly" adventurers to get involved and disrupt the balance between them.
The final endings of many heroic stories repeatedly sung by bards can well illustrate this point.
The direct result of Shane VII's incorporation of a large number of adventurers and mercenaries with rich combat experience into the army was that the morale and combat effectiveness of the city defense forces and the royal guards, which had been a bit weak, increased at an incredible speed.
In addition, Zuo Si provided excellent armor and weapons made by industrial assembly lines, as well as modern compound bows and powerful crossbows equipped with pulleys with super long range and penetration, which formed a crushing advantage over the ordinary armies of most countries and cities on the continent of Faerun.
That is why the army of the Shane Empire was able to win war after war.
It took General Taylor only three days to complete the "liquidation" of the ruling group in the city of Suldorfer. At the same time, he screened and recruited the prisoners held in the cabin. The number of troops quickly expanded from 4,000 at the start to 12,000.
He left behind almost one-third of his army to continue maintaining military control over Suldorfer and to attack the estates outside the city that occupied large tracts of land and controlled a large number of slaves.
He led his fleet into the Steam Lake and headed straight for the last two cities of Calimshan in the region - Tumon and Yespek - along the crescent-shaped bay. He wanted to pacify the entire south for Shane VII in one go in order to repay the great emperor for his appreciation and extraordinary promotion.
Of course, all of the above has nothing to do with Zuo Si.
After witnessing the complete fall of the city of Suldorfer with his own eyes, he had clearly realized that there was no suspense in this war anymore.
Unless the ruler of Mingta City, which is controlled by the Zhentarim at the northernmost end of the Aramir Mountains, Anji (LV9 Bane Priest), has a brain storm and thinks he has the ability to kill a legendary demilich with a total arcane spellcasting level of LV36.
Otherwise, this guy should be more worried about whether he would be attacked by Shane VII.
You should know that the area surrounding the Steam Lake was once under the rule of the Shane Empire.
From Inaris in the east to the still-shattered border kingdoms in the south, Shon VII held undisputed claims.
However, in the nearly thousand years since the fall of the Shane Dynasty, most cities have become independent from Calimshan.
Some places have been infiltrated, occupied and controlled by evil forces, such as the Zhentarim and the Church of Bane.
In addition, a large number of ambitious people and wealthy businessmen who attempted to usurp power made the regime in this region extremely fragile, and wars between towns and internal power struggles were frequent.
In a place like the Border Kingdom with a population of just over 10,000, any adventurer with a bit of strength could seize a town or a few villages, then proclaim himself lord or even king and rule for a short period of time.
Compared with the chaotic situation around the Steam Lake, the "West Heartland" area east of Baldur's Gate, which has countless independent villages and towns and numerous monsters, can be regarded as "peaceful and tranquil".
At this moment, Zuo Si was sitting in a tavern in Ankhep, enjoying the most famous oyster feast in the area while waiting for someone to arrive.
This port city is located directly north of Steam Lake, close to the mouth of the Thorn River, and has a population of over 50,000, including slaves.
It was once ruled by an undead king for a long time, but was later overthrown and destroyed by the joint efforts of the current king, Janor Fahaisuo (LV10 thief) and his companions.
In order to consolidate its rule and suppress the original vested interest groups, the latter not only opened up the market and reduced commercial taxes to attract merchants, but also increased land taxes on the nobles.
Right now, two political forces in Ankhep are gradually forming a situation of confrontation with each other. Beneath the calm surface, there are undercurrents, and fierce conflicts may break out at any time.
However, the reason why Zuo Si appeared here was not because he was interested in the local political situation.
Instead, I heard that there was a merchant here named Irmer Barasquero who accidentally obtained a very interesting magic item that allows the holder to create multiple truly permanent physical clones at will, and allow his will to be freely transferred among all the clones.
He himself used this ability to avoid assassination attempts from the enemy three times.
Now, he is willing to sell it to anyone interested for two million gold coins.
Some scholars who have studied history have inferred, based on the description of the ability, that this magic item is very likely to be the legendary [Sgreen's Neck Guard].
Its creator created too many bodies and frequently switched between them, which eventually led to mental disorder and complete madness.
If this speculation is true, Zuo Si must get it at all costs.
Because this is an authentic artifact, not a sub-artifact like the Archmage's Staff.
The real function of [Sgreen's Neck Guard] is to create an avatar with the same strength as the original body.
Take Zuo Si as an example. If he wears this magic item and creates an avatar, the avatar will perfectly inherit almost all professional levels and spell-like abilities.
The only things that may not be inherited are the spark and the power of the planeswalker.
But even so, just based on the current wizard spellcasting level, priest spellcasting level, as well as the power of transforming into a dragon, the breathing ability and the natural warlock spellcasting level, it is already quite powerful.
By then, with some powerful magic equipment and props, you won’t be afraid even when facing those veteran legendary spellcasters.
Moreover, if the clone is injured or even dies, it will not cause any substantial harm to the original body, but only some "insignificant" side effects.
Although consciousness can only descend into one body at a time, it is not like [Simulacrum] which can copy consciousness and memory and act together.
But Zuo Si inevitably developed a strong interest in it.
He really wanted to try whether he could transfer consciousness instantly if he placed his clone in a different plane or even time and space.
If the answer is yes, then he will be able to place one in each world or where it is needed in the future, without having to travel back and forth between different worlds like he does now, which wastes both time and energy.
You can even send a clone to the plane of Mirrodin to study the [Shining Oil] and uncover the mysteries of Phyrexian magical technology.
With this in mind, Zuo Si sat in the tavern for an hour according to the information he bought from the black market for several hundred gold coins, and also ate and drank to his heart's content for an hour.
Until the horrific appetite stunned the chef, the boss, and the surrounding customers, and they began to wonder if his true identity was a dragon or some other monster disguised by magic, a little boy with short gray hair walked in from the door and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Sir, I have a letter for you. The person who gave it to me promised that I would get a reward as long as I deliver the letter to you."
"What reward do you want?"
Zuo Si casually threw an oyster shell into the trash can next to him, then turned around and asked with interest.
The boy glanced at the densely packed plates on the table, as well as the fragrant meat, seafood, bread and fruit on the plates. He swallowed subconsciously and immediately asked cautiously, "Can I sit down and eat something? Just a few pieces of bread and a small bowl of broth will be fine."
"Of course. Give me the letter, and all the food on the table will be yours."
Zuo Si generously waved his hand to signal the boy to eat as much as he wanted, and then with a very obscure gesture he stuffed a few gold coins into the hands of the clever little guy.
When the boy felt the heavy weight of the gold coins and their golden light, he immediately showed a look of great surprise. He quickly hid them in his belt, handed over the letter in his hand, and kept bowing to express his gratitude.
After Zuo Si paid the bill and walked out of the tavern, he sat down on a chair and began to frantically stuff his mouth with delicious food that he could not afford on normal days.
Not only did he eat it himself, but he also took the leftovers outside the pub to share with his companions of similar age.
It is not difficult to tell from their tattered clothes and dirty appearance that they are either homeless children who have lost their parents or children of poor people in the slums.
Many people with ulterior motives would take advantage of the fact that they need money and food to survive and hire them to deliver messages at very low costs.
Since the lives of these children are worthless, no one will care even if they die. If they are caught and tortured by the enemy, no useful information can be obtained from them. Therefore, they are often exploited by people in the evil camp.
There is no doubt that this alone is enough to tell that the businessman Irmer Barasquero is definitely not a good person.
Following the address and code provided in the letter, Zuo Si soon arrived at the door of an inconspicuous-looking house in the city.
After some complicated connections, he finally entered the city sewer through the secret door in the basement of the house and walked blindfolded for about ten minutes.
After the blindfold was taken off, he found himself being taken to another house whose location was unknown.
A slightly fat middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with his fingers.
It goes without saying that he must be Irmer Barasquero.
But it is definitely not the real body, but an avatar created using that artifact.
But even so, this guy looks very nervous.
It was not difficult to tell from the awe and fear that flashed in his eyes that he must have known Zuo Si's identity, so he had no sense of security at all.
He was even more unsure whether these little tricks he had carefully prepared could deceive the powerful chosen one in front of him who was favored by both the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Poison and Disease.
Zuo Si was quick to notice this and immediately smiled and comforted him, "Relax, I'm not a robber, and I won't rob a businessman for no reason. Of course, if someone else is playing tricks in the transaction first or is cheating on you, that's another matter."
"Haha, I haven't lived long enough, how dare I deceive a big shot like you."
Irmer Barasquero managed a forced smile.
“That’s hard to say. After all, as long as the profit is big enough, businessmen will never lack the courage to take risks. Especially a crazy businessman like you who dares to offer two million gold coins for a magic item and wants to use it as a bargaining chip to gamble.” Zuo Si said meaningfully.
Irmer smiled awkwardly and defended himself: "Please believe me, it is really precious and worth the money."
Zuo Si sat on the sofa without making any comment, then said with a half-smile: "Then take out this magic item, or prove its value to me. Otherwise, I will not easily hand over two million gold coins to you."
"You really brought two million gold coins?!"
Hearing this number, Irmer's eyes suddenly showed an extremely greedy light.
In fact, he never thought that he could really sell it at such an outrageous price of two million gold coins. The reason why he set the price so high was to leave room for bargaining.
But now, someone was actually willing to pay two million gold coins, so he was naturally overjoyed.
"Of course! I am very sincere."
As he spoke, Zuo Si opened the suitcase in his hand and poured out the gold coins he had prepared in advance, instantly piling up a "mountain of gold" on the open space in the room.
Gulp!
Seeing so many gold coins for the first time, Irmer swallowed subconsciously and grabbed a handful to examine them carefully.
It turned out that all of them were new types of gold coins issued by the Nelanther Islands and Luskan.
Although these coins have only been in circulation for a short time, they have quickly gained recognition from merchants and ordinary people throughout the North and even the West Coast due to their high gold content (nearly 50%) and incredibly exquisite casting process that cannot be imitated (modern industrial stamping and plating technology).
Some wealthy families would even take out their wealth accumulated over hundreds of years and exchange it all for this new currency, which is more stable in value, easier to preserve, and less likely to rust.
Even the church of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, couldn't help but join in, exchanging batches of ancient gold and silver coins that were very old and oxidized and rusted into this precious metal currency called "Lansel", even if they had to pay a hefty handling fee for it.
Not only that, they also funded and commissioned Zuo Si to mint a batch of exclusive coins printed with the goddess's profile and simple doctrines.
They intend to expand the influence of their goddess in the fields of business and trade in this way.
However, coinage is not an easy task for any city-state or even country on the continent of Faerun.
Irmer couldn't understand how Zuo Si could provide platinum, gold, silver, copper and other currencies worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in a short period of time, and each of them was so exquisite beyond imagination.
Apart from anything else, the source of precious metals used for coinage alone is a big problem.
At least the output of all the mines on the west coast of the entire Faerun continent over a decade combined would not be able to meet this horrific consumption.
But he obviously didn't know that most of the precious metals used to mint these coins did not actually come from Faerun.
Just like the vast amount of food, part of it comes from the earth and the other part comes from the floating city world.
Especially the latter, although there are not many people, but with countless free constructs, undead laborers, Quarish magic mechanical devices, and corpse-smacking creatures created by the necromancy wizard Ludevi, its productivity level and production efficiency are not low at all.
Various mineral veins can be mined at will, without having to consider the possible damage and pollution to the surrounding environment.
In addition, countless supplies were confiscated from warehouses when various towns were recaptured.
Just by melting the metal currencies originally circulated by the Mage Council in the floating city world, it is easy to mint a terrifying amount of currency that is enough to cause prices to soar and the economy to collapse in the entire Faerun continent.
Therefore, Zuo Si really wasn't short of money at all now. Instead, he was a little worried about how to exchange so much useless "money" for scarce supplies needed by himself or the floating city.
Staring at the "gold mountain" so close, Irmer Barasquero quickly estimated the amount in his mind, and soon confirmed that there were really two million gold coins in this pile. He immediately said ecstatically: "I have indeed felt your sincerity.
However, the magic item is not here, but needs to be obtained from another place.
After all, I have been assassinated three times because of it. I believe you should understand my difficulties and why I have to be cautious.
You know, there are many people in Ankhep who want to kill me."
"No problem, lead the way."
Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly.
"Then these gold coins..."
Irmer deliberately dragged out the tone and tested it cautiously.
"Just leave them here as advance payment. Anyway, since I dare to take them out and pile them here, I am naturally not afraid that you will abscond with the money. Otherwise, I guarantee that even if you escape to another dimension, I will be able to find you."
When saying this, Zuo Si's tone was full of warning.
Irmer quickly smiled and said, "I am an honest businessman. How could I do such a despicable thing?"
"Haha, I hope so."
Zuo Si couldn't help but sneer.
Trust the credibility of the merchant? Come on! He would rather believe that a dog can change its habit of eating shit than believe the guarantee given by a merchant.
When its potential value is far greater than the benefits that can be brought by the adventure, businessmen will naturally abide by the contracts and rules honestly and hold the word "credibility" high.
But if, on the other hand, its potential value is far less than the benefits that can be brought by the adventure, then the group of businessmen will abandon the sign of "credibility" without hesitation, and then trample it into the mud, using all kinds of despicable means to plunder huge wealth.
As for the huge sum of two million gold coins, let alone the mere "reputation", many businessmen would probably be happy to accept it even if they were asked to exchange it for the lives of their entire family.
Irmer undoubtedly understood the meaning in Zuo Si's eyes. He did not continue to defend himself, but led the way into the dark sewer.
This time, he did not ask Zuo Si to blindfold himself, but he and his men passed through the complicated tunnel like a maze and entered the previous room through a secret door.
Then, the cunning businessman opened the floor and took off a neck guard that was shining with silver light from a body that looked exactly like himself.
There is no doubt that this hiding method makes full use of the blind spots in the psychology and thinking of most people.
Buyers who come here would never dream that the seller would hide such a precious treasure in a place they pass by.
"Here, this is what I'm selling to you..."
As these words came out of his mouth, Irmer in front of him seemed to lose all his strength immediately. He fell to the ground with his face up and quickly turned into nothingness.
With him was another clone hiding under the floor.
"Oh no! That bastard Irmer wants to take all those gold coins for himself!"
One of the businessman's bodyguards suddenly came to his senses, turned around and rushed into the sewer, trying to return to another house where the gold coins were stored.
"Damn it! I knew this cunning viper wouldn't keep his promise!"
"Hurry! Go back now! It's not that easy to take away two million gold coins!"
"Damn it! When I catch Irmer, I will cut off his tongue!"
After being reminded by the former, the other few people quickly cursed and did the same thing, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Although Zuo Si was not quite sure what exactly happened between Irmer and his men.
But we can also roughly guess that the former probably promised to share the huge fortune of two million gold coins together after the success in exchange for the latter's loyalty during this period, but after getting the money, he decisively chose to run away with the money.
However, he was obviously not interested in this love-hate drama due to unequal distribution of spoils. Instead, he cast his eyes on the neck guard in his hand that emitted a dazzling arcane light.
"What an interesting piece of magical equipment!
Higher Transmutation Arcane Aura?
No, that's not right.
In addition to the arcane aura of transmutation, there are other things hidden.
In addition, this item does not need to be equipped on oneself, it can actually produce its effect by equipping it on any clone.
It is indeed the famous Sgreen Neck Guard."
After inspecting the neck guard, Zuo Si quickly confirmed the abilities that this artifact could bestow upon its wearer.
In addition to perfectly creating physical clones and instantly transferring consciousness, it also allows the consciousness of any clone or the original body to clearly perceive the current status of other clones.
In other words, although it is impossible to control multiple clones at the same time, they can be used to quickly transmit information.
For example, if you leave an avatar in the floating city, if you encounter an important matter that requires a decision, Vanessa, Talantyr or Isadora can call you directly and let your consciousness descend.
Without any hesitation!
Zuo Si quickly took off the [Supreme Amulet] and put it around his neck, then activated his ability to create a physical clone out of thin air.
Then he put the neck guard on the clone's neck, while he continued to wear the [Supreme Amulet].
After finishing all this, he immediately tried to transfer his consciousness back and forth between the two bodies.
It turns out that not only can the power of the planeswalker's spark be copied, but even the power of the chosen people bestowed by the two goddesses can also be transferred with the transfer of consciousness.
This discovery is amazing!
In order to confirm his guess, Zuo Si took the clone back to the Mage Tower in Askatla, dissected the entire clone in an extremely cruel way, and examined it from inside to outside.
He even took the blood sample to the floating city and compared it with his own blood.
Finally got an incredible answer.
The so-called clone is not a clone or something like that, but something like a "template".
It doesn't even have any "genetic genes" itself. It is just a real shell without any "attributes".
Only when consciousness and soul are injected into it, the entire clone will become a "living person" no different from the original body.
During this process, the planeswalker's spark and the chosen abilities bestowed by the two goddesses will also be transferred along with the soul and consciousness.
Even if the main body is destroyed, as long as there is still a clone, then at the moment of physical death, the spirit and soul can be transferred to the next body to continue life.
In addition, Zuo Si also proved through experiments that it is entirely possible to realize the transfer of spirit and soul across dimensions and time and space.
This may be related to the fact that the planeswalker spark itself can be used for cross-time and space teleportation.
Simply put, [Sgreen's Neck Guard] is equivalent to a super-enhanced version of the Stasis Cloning Technique.
The only problem is that all clones share vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and pain.
Especially the last one.
If one clone is seriously injured or even dies, and its spirit and soul are transferred to the next clone, then after the transfer is completed, intense phantom pain will be produced uncontrollably, and the terrible pain caused by the moment of death will be constantly replayed in the mind, and it will take a long time to slowly recover.
If the clone dies again during this process, the phantom pain caused by entering the third body will be super-doubled.
The worst thing is that this kind of pain directly affects the mind and soul. No currently known arcane, divine, or psychic powers can alleviate the pain. Even if you transform into an undead creature, the pain will still be the same, and you can only rely on your tenacious will to endure it.
No wonder there are rumors that the creator of [Sgreen's Neck Guard] eventually went crazy.
If he died several times in a short period of time, the phantom pain that accumulated would definitely torture any normal person to the point of collapse.
Similarly, Zuo Si also understood why Irmer Barasquero was so eager to sell it for money.
This guy has already encountered three assassination attempts, and he must be experiencing phantom pains in many vital parts of his body.
If it happened one or two more times, he might not be able to bear it.
"Soth, are you sure you want to use this thing?"
Isadora, who had been severely spanked before, asked with a worried look on her face.
"What else? I spent two million gold coins to buy it. Besides, I'm not that easy to die. Whoever wants to kill me must be prepared to die, even God."
Zuo Si subconsciously touched his aching chest and responded.
Fortunately, after dissecting his own body, he did not destroy it directly, but used magic to put the ruptured stomach and internal organs back one by one intact.
Otherwise, you will have to endure the extreme pain of death all the time.
After saying that, Zuo Si created five clones in one breath. One of them was going to stay in Faerun, the second was going to be thrown into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, the third was going to Zendikar, the fourth was going to stay in the floating city, and the fifth was going to Mirrodin to study the spark oil.
As for the main body, it is first kept in a dormant state in the deepest part of the Doomsday Bunker on Magic Earth.
The equipment of each clone is also easy to deal with. Just make them all into cards and save them in the sparks.
When transferring soul and spirit, first take off all the equipment and turn them into cards. After the transfer is completed, convert the cards into equipment and put them on.
Just do it!
Since there are permanently open portals connecting Faerun, the floating city and the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, he easily placed three of the clones.
However, when placing the fourth one, the clone in the Zendikar plane, a small accident occurred.
To be exact, Zuo Si was once again caught by the Lithomancer Nahiri.
The reason was exactly the same as last time. His feet landed on the surface of a huge crystal stone towering above the sky.
There's nothing we can do about it! The world of Zendikar is full of these gravel structures that are used to confine and seal the Eldrazi titans.
"Did you come to Zendikar just to visit me?" Nahiri asked with a cynical smile on her face.
"No, I'm just here to house this body."
Zuo Si did not choose to lie, but told the truth.
"This body? Placement?"
Nahiri's eyes flickered with surprise and curiosity.
Because in her thousands of years of life, she had never seen a planeswalker who could have multiple clones while ensuring the normal operation of the spark.
Zuo Si smiled and explained, “I found a divine artifact in a certain time and space.
It can create infinite clones and allow the wearer's will and soul to transfer freely among different clones.
And this transfer even includes the spark of the planeswalker.
In order to facilitate my contact with you in the future and to ensure that the seal of the Eldrazi will not be easily broken, I decided to keep a clone in Zendikar.
Why, don't you welcome me in?"
"Hahahaha! How could that be! I'm so happy that I can't even express it in words.
But you are really lucky to have found such a precious artifact.
It just so happens that I went hunting in other time and space a few days ago, and I have helped you catch two people with potential that have not yet ignited the spark.
Not only that, guess who I was lucky enough to find?"
As she spoke, Nahiri suddenly moved her face very close and winked playfully.
"Who?"
Zuo Si stood up and asked very cooperatively.
Nahiri took the initiative to stretch out her fair right hand and said, "Come, take my hand, and I will take you to see this unexpected surprise now."
"As you wish!"
Zuo Si didn't say anything and just shook the other person's hand.
The next second...
Nahiri instantly activated some unknown magic and teleported him from the crystal to a fortress inside the mountain.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the lair of the Lithomancer.
The huge crystalline stone pillars around and the runes carved on the walls, the ground and the top of the head all flashed with dazzling magical halos without exception.
However, Zuo Si's attention was not on the surrounding environment, but he saw at a glance the three unlucky guys who were bound by the gravel magic in the open space in the middle.
Two of them are anthropomorphic animal characters like those in the movie "Zootopia", one is a raccoon and the other is a monkey.
The third one is a demon with wings, horns and a tail, and it is emitting red flames all over its body.
To be exact, his name is Ob Nixilis.
A tyrant who once ignited the spark and became a planeswalker, but later lost the spark and was trapped on the plane of Zendikar, keen on waging war and conquering one plane after another.
Of course, if he simply lost his spark and became an ordinary demon, then that wouldn't be a big deal.
Interestingly, Ob Nixilis is one of the very few planeswalkers who can reignite his spark after losing it.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the little gift I prepared for you?"
Nahiri's mouth curled up in a grim, cruel expression.
"Of course! I couldn't be more satisfied. Especially Ob Nixilis, I've been looking for him. By the way, the gravel on his body should be able to block the power of the planeswalker's spark, right?"
As Zuo Si spoke, he walked straight towards the tall demon.
As for the two anthropomorphic animals, he didn't care too much about them.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, the raccoons and monkeys should come from a place called "New Capena".
The residents there are basically all these anthropomorphic animal residents, and the environment is a bit like the era when American gangs were rampant.
Nahiri answered bluntly, "Don't worry. In this base, even Sorin and Ugin can't use the power of the Spark to escape. Whatever grudge you have against this demon, you can do whatever you want now."
"I feel relieved to hear you say that."
Zuo Si casually pulled out a silver coin emitting a silver glow from the bag he was carrying.
The moment Ob Nixilis saw this thing, his face changed drastically, and he immediately roared in a voice full of fear: "You...what do you want to do? I don't remember ever meeting you, let alone having any grudge against you!"
"Haha, we do not have any hatred against each other. But is there any necessary connection between hatred and my torturing you?"
Zuo Si's face was filled with a devilish smile.
There was no doubt that the refined silver in his hand could cause unimaginable pain to the demon in front of him, and even cause it to slowly die.
The purpose of his doing so was not to gain some twisted pleasure from it, but simply to stimulate the other party's subconscious desire to survive, thereby prompting him to rekindle the extinguished spark.
In fact, the reason why Ob Nixilis was able to rekindle the spark was closely related to the fact that the Eldrazi titan broke the seal and was about to destroy the entire Zendikar plane.
Many times, a planeswalker ignites his spark when he is in great pain or his life is threatened.
Now that the Odrachi Destroyer is gone, Zuo Si naturally has to use some "special" means.
"Damn it! You're a devil in human skin! Get out! Don't—don't come over here!!!"
Seeing the bottle of refined silver getting closer and closer to his mouth, Ob Nixilis let out a desperate roar.
"Don't say that. If I have to find a synonym to describe it, I think devil is more appropriate. Come on, Onii-chan, open your mouth. Ah——"
With the strength of a dragon, Zuo Si forcibly pried open Ob Nixilis's mouth and poured the entire bottle of refined silver into it.
moment!
The demon screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Although his body was tightly bound by the gravel and could not move, it still twitched violently and uncontrollably.
