Especially after devouring Ob Nixilis's vitality and vigor, Zuo Si's physical condition seemed to be very close to that of an adult, so some of Alustriel's actions and words became particularly explicit, and he invited him in a suggestive way more than once.
In contrast, the Golden Dragon Queen simply enjoys seeing others in distress, and usually stops at the right point and won't go any further.
If it were any other time, Zuo Si wouldn't mind having a "friendly match" with Alustriel between voters, letting the other party experience his physical fitness which is now stronger than that of the ancient dragons.
Especially the endurance and stamina brought by the terrifying physical attributes.
Unfortunately, he was not in such a mood at all. His mind was full of the research progress of the sparkling oil, the gravel magic he learned from Nahiri, and the incredible life transformation technology of New Phyrexia.
Through in-depth research, Zuo Si has discovered the biggest characteristic of the Phyrexian life form, which is that it has no soul.
Yes!
Although it is a combination of organic and mechanical, the spirit, consciousness, memory and thinking of all the modified creatures of the new Phyrexian force gradually formed in Mirrodin are all given by something contained in the spark oil.
This also explains why Shuoyou can utilize the bone and muscle waste that were torn and cut during the transformation process and reintegrate them together to form a new Phyrexian life.
It also means that the greatest infectious ability of Shuo Oil is not on the physical level, but on the spiritual and conscious level.
And because they have no souls, but are given self-awareness by the Spark Oil after the transformation is completed, all New Phyrexian creations are completely immune to all magic related to soul and mind control.
The most effective spells to deal with them are often magic like Disintegration, which directly decomposes them on a physical level, or pure force field magic.
In some ways, New Phyrexia is closer in nature to the soulless Necrons of the Warhammer world next door than to the "Mechanical Ascension" that many people believe.
To this end, Zuo Si also specially created a powerful magic weapon that can convert mana or spell slots into dissociation rays.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone about his secret trip to Mirrodin to study the Shining Oil.
At least not a single word of it was leaked to Elastro.
…
As the ambient temperature in Luskan began to cool rapidly in autumn, the Northern Lords' Alliance meeting finally came to an end.
This rally, which lasted a whole week and was highly anticipated by the public, ultimately failed to achieve anything.
To be precise, almost every time we get together to reach some consensus, someone will inevitably jump out and bring up old issues.
Then there were accusations and arguments between each other, which eventually turned into name calling, personal attacks, and fists raised in an attempt to physically shut the other person up.
Since the residents of the North are naturally tough, all the representatives and leaders from various places have a certain professional level.
Therefore, compared to convincing people with reason (the li in reason), they prefer to convince people with virtue (the de in martial virtue).
The hot-tempered King of Mithril Hall, Bruno Battlehammer, even challenged a representative of Mirabar to a duel during a meeting. He smashed his opponent's jaw and nose with his hard skull, and then swung his fists and beat the unfortunate guy half to death.
If Alustriel had not used the Wall of Force to separate the two men quickly, the dwarf, whose rage bar had already been filled up, would have beaten the representative of Mirabar to death.
You have to know that in the North, once the word "duel" is involved, it is equivalent to both parties agreeing and signing a "life and death agreement".
During this period, no matter who kills whom, they will not be held legally responsible. Even the Church of the God of Justice, which has extremely strict pursuit of the law, has no objection to this.
Of course, the price of Bruno Warhammer's impulsiveness was that the Mirabar representative solemnly announced the next day that from that moment on, all ships or caravans would be prohibited from passing through their territory to the Mithril Hall, which was to retaliate by adopting the so-called trade blockade strategy.
If it had happened in the past, this blockade would have certainly put the dwarves and deep gnomes, who habitually lived in underground mines, in a predicament of lack of food and daily necessities.
But now...
Bruno was not panicked at all. Instead, he unscrupulously provoked and mocked the Mirabar representatives in the following meeting.
Because he had learned in advance that Silvermoon City and Luskan would soon open an air route.
This also means that he no longer has to care about the faces of those despicable people in Mirabar. When the time comes, he can just take the gems, mithril, fine gold and things made with the dwarves' unique magic runes that he has dug out to Silvermoon City to trade.
Ever since Bruno started the bad example, the language communication that was originally just verbal greetings to the other party's female family was quickly upgraded to physical communication.
At the beginning, people who came to attend the meeting would rush forward to help pull the people who were fighting apart.
But later on, unless they see someone about to be beaten to a disability or death, people will not only not step forward to stop the fight, but will stand aside and applaud, or even bet a small amount of money to cultivate their sentiments.
Such chaos was unbearable for Elastro, the Golden Dragon Queen Veramalandes, Lord Nasir, the Holy Knight Aribeth and others, and they all returned to their respective cities early.
As the nominal organizer, Eric fully implemented the spirit of "ruling by doing nothing" and watched the show the whole time, only making some bland remarks and nonsense after each fight.
If someone forces him to take sides, he will adopt an attitude of not offending anyone, such as "You are all my wings."
There is no doubt that Luskan will become the largest port city, trade center, commodity distribution center and market in the north in the future.
In addition, it also has the most powerful military force, as well as a large magic and professional talent training institution.
As long as we remain neutral and unwavering, the wealth of the entire North will be concentrated here madly to form a scale effect.
Since you can obviously win without doing anything, why bother?
In this way, Eric easily resolved all the temptations and successfully completed his mission.
As a reward, he was given the right to use the bottle containing the Ghost Ship for one day.
"Here, I think you probably have a lot to talk about with your former captain, don't you?"
Zuo Si took out the bottle meaningfully and put it into the other person's hand.
moment!
Eric recognized the face in the bottle, with bared fangs and claws, as if it was going to rush out and tear him to pieces alive, with eyes and features distorted by hatred. He opened his mouth in surprise.
"Ha... Captain Hallett?! How did he become an undead and take control of a ship?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "That's because of what you said after you killed him. You know? His hostility and hatred towards you have reached a point that is enough to twist his soul."
"Ah! I see!"
Eric instantly recalled the heartbreaking words he had said to the corpse. Looking at the soul of Harlett in the bottle, he immediately revealed a sinister expression and sighed in a low voice: "I never thought that we would meet again in this way, dear Captain. Since you care so much about your lover and daughter, I will take you to see them."
After saying that, Eric quickly stood up and said goodbye, turning back to his own mansion in Luskan.
When he got home, he placed the bottle in the most conspicuous place, and then took the mother and daughter, who had already been captured by him, and performed a hearty "action drama" in front of Harlet.
There are so many techniques and tricks that one could make a two-hour short movie.
During this process, it can be clearly seen that the soul in the bottle is going crazy and is desperately hitting the seal that has magic protection.
The banshees opened their mouths wide and let out shrill screams.
But unfortunately, all this has no effect on the glass bottle.
If Hallett had not died and turned into a ghost, he would probably have been so angry that he vomited blood and died.
But Eric obviously intended to kill the person completely.
After taking a bath, he took out his two sons, one of whom was born to Harlet's daughter and the other was born to his lover, and told them the legendary story of Captain "Blood Hand".
What’s even worse is that this bastard actually named both children “Harlett”.
As a result, when Eric returned the bottle the next day, the ghost ship's ability had been greatly enhanced due to negative emotions such as extreme anger and resentment.
"Dear Captain Bloody Hand, when you were alive, you were always snatching other people's most precious things from them. How do you feel now that it's your turn?" Zuo Si asked with a smile, holding up the transparent glass bottle in his hand.
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
Hallett asked loudly, like a madman, with his distorted face pressed against the inner wall of the glass.
Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just think this ending is very interesting, full of a kind of fatalistic karma and black humor."
"Give Eric to me! Let me kill him! Imprison his soul and torture it for ten thousand years! In exchange, I will serve you from now on."
Hallett growled and tried to bargain.
Because in his opinion, since this powerful and insidious young man did not purify himself in the sea, there must be a place where he is needed.
Whether as a human or as a ghost, the most frightening thing is to be of no use.
Since it has value, it can be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations and transactions.
"You think too highly of yourself, and you think too lowly of me.
With the power I have now, if I want to use you, I don't even need your consent.
Finally, thank you for giving me my first pot of start-up capital in this world.
In return, I will graciously allow you to become a loyal servant and serve me forever."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si directly activated the power of sparks, sealing Hallett and the ghost ship he controlled, turning it into a summoned creature card.
As the spark level continued to increase, he no longer needed to make the target lose consciousness or ability to resist when making cards below LV9. This process could be accomplished with just powerful energy suppression.
Just as Zuo Si was about to check the detailed instructions on the card, a petite woman wearing only a tattered robe and with messy long silver hair appeared out of nowhere.
She was none other than the Storm Queen Simbu, who was also chosen by the Goddess of Magic.
Needless to say, this crazy woman with a hot temper directly broke through the defense of the Mage Tower and used the silver fire as a beacon and positioning to forcibly teleport here.
Although it is feasible in theory, the danger level involved is extremely high. If you are not careful, you may get stuck or thrown into an unknown dimension.
Any wizard with a bit of common sense would not do such a risky thing.
However, considering that Xinbu's profession is a warlock and a wizard, the warlock's spellcasting level is as high as LV20, while the wizard and archmage combined are only LV12, so it is not surprising that he did such a thing.
Moreover, her character is also reckless, otherwise she would not be so frightened and feared by the red-robed wizard.
However, the power of Luskan's Mage Tower is not to be underestimated.
After realizing they had been invaded, shrill alarms immediately echoed in the corridors of all levels.
The resident lich who had been made into a card, Akelem Grace, and some other high-level wizards from the Arcane Brotherhood rushed up from downstairs with summoned creatures, undead creatures, and construct golems.
You should know that there are a total of one thousand mages and warlocks gathered in the city of Luskan right now.
There are more than 300 people residing in the Mage Tower alone, including dark elves like Lirael from the Underdark, gray dwarves and other races.
In addition, a remodeled and redesigned defense system was also launched.
In short, in just a few minutes, Xinbu's forced intrusion led to a series of chain reactions.
In the end, it was Zuo Si who stood up and told his men that it was all just a misunderstanding, which finally calmed down the chaotic farce.
After finishing all this, he returned to the room on the top floor and said to the Storm Queen who was sitting on the sofa sipping tea with a slightly helpless tone: "Could you please give me a heads up or go through the main entrance next time you come? After all, it doesn't take much time to send a magic message. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me if you always make surprise attacks like this."
"I'm sorry, I forgot that you always stay in a tower with powerful magical protection. And this time, I really have something urgent to talk to you about."
Xinbu put down the teacup in his hand, reached out and touched the white bear cub's big, furry, round head.
Of course, in this exclusive room there are not only white bear cubs that have become druids' animal companions, but also several underage tiger cubs, brown bears, winter wolves, wargs, leopards, owls, falcons, lynxes, martens and other wild beasts unique to the North.
Because they have been raised as pets for a long time, they look particularly docile and are not as dangerous and deadly as their wild counterparts.
You don’t need to ask to know that this place is actually a typical "Zuo Si Happy House".
Whenever he wants to relax, he pets these furry animals.
Especially after obtaining the druid profession level and various characteristics, by "understanding animals", one can even feel the thoughts, consciousness and emotions of each animal, which is simply the ability that all Furui fans dream of.
"Urgent?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Zuo Si's eyes.
He really couldn't imagine what urgent matter this unkempt Storm Queen had in mind that she wanted to see him for.
Could it be that the Sel controlled by the red wizard has started a large-scale invasion of Agoralon again? "Remember Saranda Oulianm from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, Waukeen?" Xinbu asked bluntly.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Of course. He once invited me to join a team to go to the bottomless abyss to save the goddess of wealth. But since then, there has been no news, and I thought he had given up."
Xinbu corrected him with a smile: "No, Sarangda Oulianmu has not given up, but is actively looking for and inviting those with strong strength. Now, the team has been formed and is about to set off. He entrusted me to ask, are you still willing to join it?"
"Are all the people here? If you don't mind, can you tell me who they are?"
A hint of intense curiosity flashed across Zuo Si's eyes.
There is no way not to be curious!
He really wanted to know what kind of team could break into the triple realm ruled by one of the three giants of the abyss, "Lord of Darkness" Grazzt, and rescue the imprisoned goddess of wealth.
"The team includes a chosen one of the gods of war named Quill, a legendary warrior who has just returned from the astral plane and has a total level of LV32; a legendary purple dragon knight named Bonita and her mount companion. It is said that this person has the royal blood of Cormyr, but for some reason, she has been traveling in other planes for many years and has only recently returned to the material world; a legendary priest named Bert, who comes from the country of the fire-haired lady;
A legendary paladin named Ilsa, who was personally appointed by the god of justice Tyr. If nothing unexpected happens, he may have celestial blood or be an angel or a divine servant in disguise. The last one is a half-blood demon thief who believes in the goddess of wealth Waukeen, named Aphra, and is also the person responsible for leading the way in this mission.
Of course, if you join, you have to include both of us.”
Xinbu gave everyone's information very straightforwardly.
Unlike what Zuo Si expected, except for the Storm Queen, none of these members were so-called "famous people in Faerun".
In other words, except for the half-blood demon thief of unknown origin, the rest either lived in another dimension for a long time or came directly from the kingdom of God.
No wonder in many legendary battles and adventure stories, there are often so-called "unknown" adventurers who defeat powerful evil forces and finally restore peace to everything.
It turns out that the root cause was not that these adventurers were too weak or simply had good luck.
Instead, they have long been sent by the gods behind them to other planes to perform more dangerous tasks, and rarely operate in the material plane, so the world has almost never heard of their heroic deeds.
However, it is not ruled out that God did this on purpose to hide his most elite and powerful believers.
Then, at a certain moment or during an important mission, secretly send it out to give the enemies a huge surprise.
No matter which the real reason is, it means that each god holds a hidden power that has always been unknown.
Zuo Si stroked his chin and thought carefully for a few minutes, then raised his head and asked, "Why do you want me to join? What's the reason?"
"Because you have a special ability to ensure that the magic network exists stably and undisturbed anywhere.
Only if you choose to join the team can I guarantee that you can exert your full strength in a place like the Abyss.
In addition, your strong personal combat capability is also the guarantee for the complete success of this dangerous mission.
not to mention……
Don't you want to see the most chaotic and evil lower plane in the entire multiverse?
不想暂时抛弃世俗的道德与伦理约束，来一场惊险刺激的冒险，尽情杀戮无穷无尽的恶魔吗？ 不想收集那些有趣的恶魔，把它们抓起来制作成你旅法师独有的卡牌吗？ 别欺骗自己，其实你跟我一样，都是那种骨子里带着狂野的疯子。
只不过我表现的更直白，而你却用冷静和理智做了些伪装。”
在说这番话的时候，欣布突然毫无征兆的从沙发上站了起来，仰起头盯着左思的眼睛，嘴角微微上扬浮现出红袍巫师做恶梦时才会看到的癫狂笑容。
毫无疑问，与北地七姐妹和其他魔法女神选民所表现出来的冷静跟克制不同。
她的性格更加张扬，而且完全不在乎别人的看法跟评价，始终我行我素贯彻着属于自己的人生观和价值观。
“那好处呢？冒着这么巨大的风险，财富女神教会承诺支付给我怎样的报酬？”左思面无表情的反问道。
“你听说过【暗影能核】吗？”
欣布重新坐下来，非常随意的把暂满泥土和灰尘的双脚搭在桌子上。
“【暗影能核】？那是什么？某种密瑟拉之核的变体吗？”
左思的语气中带着强烈的好奇。
因为他从来都没有听说过这玩意，更没有在任何书籍或是记载中看到过。
欣布不加思索的回答道：“没错！事实上，这是一个被腐化的密瑟拉之核，属于耐瑟瑞尔时代古老的塞尼德浮空城。
由于被暗影能量侵蚀，它现在呈现出了一种非常特殊的状态，其直径一米五左右的球形中心有一道锯齿形状的裂缝。
大量原始未经过任何加工的原始魔法能量与暗影能量混合在一起，源源不断从内部渗出。
如果没有足够的知识和掌控力，哪怕仅仅只是靠近都会瞬间被狂暴的能量撕碎或是撑爆。
当然，除了危险之外，【暗影能核】最大的作用在于可以供多名施法者从中源源不断的抽取能量。
而且通过这些能量塑造塑造出来的魔法效果，都相当于是在使用阴影魔网施法，对附魔系、死灵系、幻术系法术有额外的增强。
同时完全不必承担真正使用阴影魔网所需要支付的代价跟风险。
除此之外，无论是混乱魔法区域还是死魔法区域，都不会对【暗影能核】的使用者造成任何干扰，同时法术的威力也会变得更强、更难以被抵抗与豁免。
唯一的缺点是，有很低概率，大概在百分之十左右，会因为两种能量相互干扰而出现失控的情况。
通常是触发一个混乱狂野法术效果，不算十分严重。
至于在内核中还隐藏着什么不为人知的东西和秘密，那就不得而知了。
财富女神教会花费极高的代价从一群挖掘者手中买下【暗影能核】，打算作为前往无底深渊时交给队伍中的奥术施法者来使用，以抵消该位面极度混乱且不稳定的能量波动。
不过有你加入的话，这玩意也就没有了用处，正好可以报酬。
如果你同意参加这次营救行动，那么萨朗达·欧连姆会在出发的那一天就把它交给你。
无论最后是否能够救出财富女神渥金，【暗影能核】都将成为属于你的东西。
另外如果一切顺利，那么事成之后女神还会亲自给与小队所有人额外的奖赏。”
“看来我没什么拒绝的理由，不是吗？”
左思明显心动了。
因为别的不说，光是一个【暗影能核】就远远超出了他的心理预期。
要知道密瑟拉之核本身就已经足够稀有且珍贵了，而一个被暗影能量入侵污染的【暗影能核】则无疑更加珍贵且具有研究价值。
最重要的是，这玩意是一个近乎无限的能量源，可以源源不断从魔网与阴影位面中抽取能量。
更何况，左思早就有想要去深渊看看的想法，只是一直没有找到机会而已。
“我就知道你会同意的。
记住，你有半个月的准备时间。
半个月之后我们将通过一扇传送门前往魔鬼聚集的青铜堡垒，从那里出发跨过地狱第一层阿弗纳斯，进入到与之相连接的万深平原。
届时混血恶魔盗贼——阿弗拉将会在那边与我们汇合，并走一条比较隐秘的通道，直接进入三重领域。”
说罢，欣布便直接站起身想要施展传送魔法离开。
但还没等她付诸实际行动，左思就突然开口打断道：“等等！关于伪装和身份怎么解决？”
“别担心，等抵达断域镇之后阿弗拉会为我们解决一切后顾之忧。”
伴随着这句话脱口而出，欣布启动了传送魔法整个人瞬间消失得无影无踪。
看着她那双脏兮兮的靴子在桌子和地毯上留下的印记，左思不由得微微皱起眉头，用只有自己才能听见的声音自言自语道：“把如此重要的事情交给一个来历不明的混血恶魔盗贼来处理？ 究竟是什么给了财富女神教会这样的自信？
还是说这是他们目前唯一能够找到进入三重领域的方法？ 又或者其中有不为人知的秘密交易？ 不好意思！ 把希望寄托在别人身上可不是我的作风。
戴维安！”
左思低声呼唤了焰龙骑士的名字。
后者仅用不到一秒钟，就直接通过魔法传送出现在主人的面前，像往常一样一言不发的单膝跪地听后吩咐。
“你对自己的术士能力运用熟练程度如何了？”左思直截了当的询问道。
“嗯——按照那些巫妖的说法，我已经是个相当不错且危险的施法者了。
尤其是大量可以无限使用的【高等解除魔法】、【高等传送术】、【火球术】、【火墙术】，以及每天七次额外的【延迟爆裂火球】、三次【火焰风暴】，让我能够比普通LV29的术士在面对敌人时拥有更多的选择。
另外，在等级达到LV25、成为进阶之龙的时候，我还获得了无需使用任何超魔技巧就能自动瞬发零到三环法术的额外能力。
不过相比起使用魔法，我还是更喜欢使用剑术，亦或是变身成为巨龙形态贴身肉搏。”
戴维安用尽量简洁的语言把自己这段时间的锻炼成果进行了汇报。
自从结束了与锐齿的战斗后，他就意识到自己在法术对抗方面严重经验不足的缺点，并且找了组织内几名刚刚晋升成为传奇施法者的巫妖，进行了近乎自虐的残酷训练。
同时还借助旅法师赋予随从的能力，通过永久性消耗一张相应的法术牌，学会了好几个传奇魔法。
听到这些回答，左思立刻浮现出满意的表情：“很好！我现在要交付给你一个无比重要的任务，那就是在即将开始的深渊之旅中假扮我。”
“什……什么？！”
戴维安猛地抬起头，满脸都是震惊和难以置信的表情，明显完全无法理解这句话的意思。
毕竟他只是一个随从，怎么可能扮演得了自己的主人，一位拥有火花之力的强大旅法师。
“呵呵，别那么惊讶。我让你来假扮我，自然有这样做的道理。
在接下来的几天时间，你要开始模仿我的行为、动作、思维、施法技巧和说话方式。
至于火花的事情不用太担心。
我刚好从欧尼希兹身上夺取了一个火花，可以通过一些特殊的技术，让你暂时获得跟旅法师相似的能力，并使用这颗火花中所存储的那些卡牌。”
说话的功夫，一颗闪耀着黑红色光芒的火花缓缓从左思的掌心涌出，散发着摄人心神的无尽吸引力。
“那您呢？”戴维安用不是很确定的语气试探道。
左思翘起嘴角意味深长的回答：“我当然是会放一具分身在你的旁边，并在情况危急或是需要的时候才会出手接管一切。
哦，对了，记得带上这个。
它是我在秘罗地最新的研究成果。
可以跨越无限的空间和距离，直接通过意识进行交流和沟通。”
只见左思从手中掏出一张宝物卡牌，紧跟着将其转化为实体。
那是一个看上去有点像是护具一样的金属装置，可以直接套在头盔里边作为内衬，两侧延伸出来的贴片会自动黏在从太阳穴到耳廓后边的位置。
不用问也知道，制造这玩意的技术有一部分是来自于秘罗地时空原本的机械守护者蒙纳坷。
这家伙在造物主卡恩离开之后，便独自前往世界核心的地下秘密制造了大量的魔法机械生物。
其中最著名的莫过于功能多种多样，作用有点类似工蚁、工蜂的“秘耳”。
The greatest feature of this creation is that no matter how far away it is, even across time and space, it can clearly receive the orders given by its master.
There is no doubt that its root technology definitely comes from the ancient Solan civilization.
After dismantling a large number of "Myr", Zuo Si cracked and mastered most of the technologies. He made improvements on this basis and incorporated some of the results he obtained from his research on Shuo Oil.
The result is an interesting device like this.
It is actually divided into two parts, one part is called the control end, and the other part is called the monitored end.
When a person wears the monitored terminal, all his vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste, emotions, and thoughts will be shared intact with the person wearing the controlling terminal.
Not only can the two parties communicate without obstacles in consciousness, but the latter can also take over the former's body when necessary.
With this thing, Zuo Si no longer needs to keep an eye on the team's situation 24 hours a day, nor does he need to keep his consciousness and soul in Furen's clone all the time. Instead, he can do whatever he needs to do.
When encountering trouble, he can directly take over Davidian's body, or activate the clone he carries with him.
If an ordinary person heard that his or her senses, spirit and consciousness were to be shared with another person, and that the other person might take over his or her body at any time, he or she would definitely choose to refuse without hesitation.
But the loyal Davidian apparently didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Without saying a word, he took off his helmet and put it on his head.
Zuo Si put on the control terminal and made some attempts. After confirming that there was no problem, he created a clone out of thin air and disguised it as an inconspicuous decorative brooch on the lining through transformation magic.
If he wanted to transfer his consciousness and soul over, the Flame Dragon Knight only needed to recite a trigger spell and his body would naturally return to its original state.
Of course, it is obviously not an easy task for Davian to deceive everyone.
In the next few days, Zuo Si not only put him through rigorous imitation training, but also created a series of high-level magic equipment and even sub-artifacts.
After all the preparations were completed, he forced the spark into Davian's body through resonance, causing him to burn himself, allowing the latter to gain the same abilities as a planeswalker in a short period of time.
However, the consequence is that the spark will continue to consume energy rapidly over time.
If it is not replenished in time, the spark level will drop by LV1 every time the energy consumption reaches a certain level. When all the energy is exhausted, the spark will be completely extinguished.
According to Zuo Si's inference, the spark of Ob Nixilis can continue to burn for at least a year or even longer.
Therefore, even if I don't replenish it in the middle, it will be more than enough to support me until the end of this adventure.
He also specially made a few low-level land cards from the continent of Faerun and gave them to Davian to use, to ensure that even if he was not there, the team could maintain a stable magic network.
…
While Zuo Si was busy preparing to embark on his adventure to the Abyss, far away in the floating city of Plantia, thousands of players were already excitedly getting ready to go.
Because today is the day when the legendary new world opens.
After the advance warm-up and a lot of so-called background introductions, everyone's interest and appetite were whetted, and they were eager to experience the pleasure of doing whatever they wanted without restraint.
However, in order to prevent players from killing each other and causing excessive internal conflicts and hatred, Vanessa added a rule to the rules, which is to prohibit them from having direct conflicts and killing each other, otherwise they will be severely punished by the floating city.
But players who have only experienced the game for a short time obviously don't care about this.
If you can’t PVP, then you can’t PVE either.
Moreover, with this rule, can players in different camps secretly sign an alliance, sell their own camp's information and intelligence to the other side, and then kill each other's NPCs to improve their records? Less than a day after the rule was issued, many teams have reached similar agreements in private.
Even a series of solutions were proposed for how to distribute the spoils reasonably.
I have to say, these guys have such imagination and they can do anything you can't imagine.
At this moment, teams of all sizes lined up in a row, one after another passed through the portal to the floating city of Mutahal, and then entered the world of A Song of Ice and Fire through the magic crystal tower standing here.
When they appeared in Pentos fully armed, Governor Illyrio's eyes lit up immediately, and he danced with excitement, shouting to the diary disguised as Zuo Si: "Great! This is simply great! With these powerful warriors! I can take the first step in conquering the Free Trade City-State. Dear Soth, you are simply the most precious gift bestowed upon me by the great Phoenix God!"
"You're too polite. But don't be too happy too soon. These powerful mercenaries have big appetites. The best way to drive them to fight is to offer enough bounty." The diary hinted meaningfully.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, the last thing I lack right now is money. And every time we capture a free trade city-state, we can obtain countless wealth from their treasury."
There was a fire of ambition in Illyrio's eyes.
After all, these are more than 10,000 powerful mercenaries who are fully armed and fearless of death!
Among them there are many users of magic and divine arts.
According to the standards of Westeros across the sea, this army is almost entirely composed of knights. Whoever owns such an army can sweep across several other free trade city-states.
After all, the "Second Son Group" which claims to have a large number of people can only barely gather 3,000 people at most at a time, and it is already quite good if it can maintain a few hundred people at ordinary times.
Moreover, it is obvious that the quality of the soldiers cannot be compared with those in front of us.
Looking at the excited expression of the Governor of Pentos, who had been completely fooled by Zuo Si, a hint of gloating appeared in the diary.
Because he knew that from the moment the players entered this world, Illyrio's life began to countdown.
Whether it's Viserys, who pretends to be obedient but actually wants to cut him into pieces, or the player who is only thinking about how to gain more benefits in this world, neither of them will allow someone to always ride on their heads and give orders, and take a large part of the spoils that should have belonged to them.
If Viserys becomes smart enough, learns to use the power of the players, and promises to completely delegate power, then it is not impossible for him to return to Westeros and re-establish the Targaryen dynasty...
