For Zuo Si, finding Isadora has never been a difficult task.
Because the latter has always been unilaterally defenseless against him.
He even created a unique psychic power that allows him to emit mental fluctuations at any time and anywhere that only Zuo Si can receive.
As long as the two people are in the same time and space and plane, Zuo Si can clearly sense the girl's location, as well as her current mental state, thinking and consciousness, and can also send some short messages and summoning commands.
If she wanted, she could also access her memory anytime and anywhere to see what she had done recently, even something as private as taking a bath.
Although Zuo Si had never actually read Isadora's memory, he would occasionally use it to explore the thoughts going on in the girl's mind.
For no other reason than to simply confirm the other person's mental health state so that he or she does not develop in a crazier, more twisted, or more pathological direction.
After all, Isadora is already enough of a headache now.
If you really become a complete "yandere", it will be too late to correct it.
At this moment, in the spell testing ground of the Mage Tower in Askatra, the capital of the commercial empire Amn.
Isadora, who just turned sixteen, had long golden hair as smooth as silk. She wore a black robe with lace patterns and a style like a corset. She waved her hands in a very elegant posture and performed various complex spellcasting movements.
At the same time, she was chanting a variety of different and awkward spells in a strange way that could not be described in words.
In just a few seconds, three-ring fireball and lightning magic shot out from the slender fingertips at the same time, hitting the distant wall with a loud bang and explosion.
Boom!!! Even though most of the destructive force was absorbed by the protective magic, a black spot was still left on the solid rock wall.
There was no doubt that the girl had just completed one of Niv-Mizzet's signature double-focus spells.
To outsiders, it might be just a low-level third-ring magic, but the effect it produces in battle, especially in spell duels, is definitely not as simple as being able to release more than twice the number of magic at the opponent in the same amount of time.
Apart from anything else, just the mixed chanting of the two spells is enough to increase the difficulty of spell identification for most mages and warlocks exponentially.
And not being able to confirm the spell the opponent is casting means being unable to counter it, or cast effective protective magic on oneself.
This is the most fatal thing for a spellcaster.
What's even more terrifying is that dual-focus casting can be used in a variety of combinations.
For example, mixing magic of different types, powers, and levels together.
In this way, you can bypass the opponent's protective magic, or dispel the target's targeted defense while using a certain attack magic.
Since dual focus casting involves casting two spells in an instant, it is difficult for the opponent to react in time.
In addition, since this is not a sequencer invented by Storm Queen Xinbu that stores magic in advance and then releases it all at once, it has unparalleled advantages in flexibility and adaptability.
The most important thing is that it can not only be used in arcane, but also in divine magic, psionic power, sorcery, soul power and all other places that require concentration.
"How about this? I told you this technique isn't difficult at all, right?"
Isadora raised her chin slightly and smiled triumphantly.
Because it took her less than twenty minutes from the time she came into contact with Niv-Mizzet's dual-focus spellcasting technique to the time she successfully applied it in reality.
In other words, he could learn it right away, which was completely different from Zuo Si's previous practice on the Zendikar plane for several hours without making any progress.
The reason is very simple.
Zuo Si's previous guess was correct.
Niv-Mizzet's dual-focus spellcasting technique is essentially using two different consciousnesses to focus on two different magics.
Since the psychic girl in front of him originally had many personalities, it could even be said that new personality fragments were born every day and old personality fragments disappeared, so it was not difficult for her to learn this technique.
If you had only one mouth and two hands, and were unable to perform more casting movements and chant spells, you could completely maintain three, four, five or even more casting concentrations at the same time.
In principle, this is basically the same as when a wizard or warlock lets a magical pet, or a psychic lets a crystal servant complete their spellcasting concentration on their behalf.
However, there are many limitations to letting magical pets or crystal servants maintain concentration on casting spells on behalf of their masters. It is also very troublesome to operate and is easy to be attacked by the enemy.
After figuring this out, Zuo Si held his forehead helplessly and sighed, "Well, it seems that if I want to learn to cast with dual focus, I'm afraid I have to try to split my mind and self-awareness first. In terms of the cost, this is really too high."
"No! There is no need to go to the extent of splitting the mind and the self.
Don't forget that human consciousness is composed of three parts.
The self part includes two parts: subjective consciousness and subconsciousness.
Most people in this world ignore the tremendous power of the subconscious mind, let alone develop it effectively.
If you can utilize the subconscious part of yourself, then you can replace your self-consciousness to a certain extent to maintain the concentration of a spell.
I can help you with that.”
As she spoke, Isadora's eyes lit up slightly, revealing an eager anticipation and excitement.
Because in this process, the two people must open their hearts without reservation to achieve some spiritual resonance, and may even be able to peek into each other's deepest desires and cravings hidden in their subconscious.
"Developing the subconscious mind?"
Zuo Si was slightly stunned.
Although he now has some understanding of psychic abilities, he was still shocked by the girl's madness.
You have to know that the subconscious mind is very important to a person. On a small scale, it is related to the creativity and inspiration of thinking. On a large scale, it affects primitive instincts, impulses and other important psychological factors.
This is also why Zuo Si always kept a distance from psychic powers.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to obtain this powerful power, but psychic powers are really not something that normal people can learn, understand and practice.
Whether it is the psions of humans or other humanoid races, or the mind flayers and Githyanki, who are born with psionic powers, their mental states are extremely crazy and dangerous.
According to modern psychological classification, they should all be classified into the large group of mental patients without exception, and their illnesses are so serious that there is no way to cure them.
Isadora in front of him, and the rational personality that transformed himself into the mind flayer mastermind, are the most intuitive and obvious manifestations.
Maybe some guys with psychic powers look like ordinary people at first glance, but in fact their subconscious, underlying thinking logic and values are completely different.
The above are all experiences that I have summarized bit by bit during the long-term interaction with the girl.
However, Isadora obviously did not realize what Zuo Si was thinking at the moment. She walked up to him, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, dear, I promise there will be no problem with this process. Because I have done hundreds of experiments on myself before."
Hearing this, Zuo Si not only did not feel even a little bit of security, but a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. He stared into the girl's eyes and asked: "How dare you tear your subconscious mind apart? Aren't you afraid of becoming an idiot or a lunatic?"
"Hehe! Don't be afraid! Because I know that even if you become a madman or an idiot, you will not abandon me. From the moment we met a few years ago, we were destined to be together and never separate."
As she spoke, Isadora hugged Zuo Si's neck with all her strength, pressed their cheeks tightly together, and closed her eyes with a look of contentment.
Feeling the soft touch and body temperature of the girl in his arms, Zuo Si couldn't help but raise his hand and gently brush her soft golden hair, and replied softly: "That requires you to be obedient. Remember, don't do this kind of dangerous operation again in the future. I hope you can live well and continue to work for me with your sanity."
"Understood! I'll do whatever you say."
Isadora offered him a kiss and then let out a clear and pleasant laugh.
Since she has passed the voice change period and has better nutrition, she is no longer the immature girl she was when we first met. Instead, she is a mature fruit that exudes an alluring scent.
Especially in the continent of Faerun where the social atmosphere is relatively open, there are many people who get married, have children and become mothers at this age.
But Zuo Si's current mind was focused on how to master the double-focus casting technique, so he did not pay attention to the hints the girl gave him more than once. He quickly began to ask her about the precautions for developing the subconscious mind, and then repeatedly confirmed the possible dangers involved.
Not only that!
He also summoned several warlocks from another secret base that specialized in training half-dragon kobolds to conduct experiments.
After the six half-dragon kobold warlocks showed no signs of abnormality after completing the development, Zuo Si allowed Isadora to do something with him.
The two stayed in the exclusive room on the top floor of the Mage Tower for three days.
When the girl left and used the portal to return to the floating city, the skin on her face and neck turned a light pink, and she exuded an incomparable happiness and satisfaction.
What is known is that she had just completed a deep fusion of mind and subconsciousness with Zuo Si, so she was in a state of extreme excitement.
Those who don't know would think something unspeakable happened...
In comparison, Zuo Si's reaction was closer to reality, with obvious fatigue revealed in his eyes.
That is not physical fatigue, but the information transmitted from the subconscious mind to the subjective consciousness after development.
According to Isadora, this condition will last for about a week, and then it will begin to recover slowly, and it will take a month to be completely healed.
During this time, it is best not to attempt dual focus casting.
Because of being too tired and having an unstable subconscious mind, it is easy to go wrong when trying to maintain concentration in casting a spell.
Moreover, the developed subconscious mind will increase resistance to spells such as mind control, charm, and suggestion.
Although in most cases these spells will be blocked by various divine powers in the body before they can take effect, but it is always better to have resistance than to have no resistance, and who knows if it will come in handy somewhere in the future.
Looking at the deep, dark eye sockets and the ugly pale face in the mirror, Zuo Si laughed and said to himself, "In my current state, I'm estimated that if I go out on the street, I'll probably be mistaken for a drug addict or a pervert who's overindulged.
Fortunately, with my recovery ability, the symptoms will be relieved in a few hours at most.
During this time, I'll take a look at what books and knowledge Nahiri brought back from Ravnica.
I hope Niv-Mizzet's ten thousand years of knowledge won't be too disappointing."
As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a card and instantly restored it to its physical form.
Tens of thousands of books, notes, and scrolls filled up the huge room at an unimaginable speed, leaving only a small space for him to stand.
As for other spaces, they were all filled from the ground to the roof with papers and slates written in various languages and scripts.
Especially stone tablets, which are the oldest record carriers of most civilizations, many of which are as old as 10,000 or 20,000 years old.
Dominarnia was the birthplace of more than one ancient civilization, and many stone tablets recorded spells created by Numenar wizards before the birth of the Thran civilization.
Although most of these spells are incomplete and even lack complete spell structures, they still have very high research value.
After all, this magical civilization created a powerful god like Carona, the Mother of Magic. The elder spells found by Nicol Bolas were most likely created by the hands of the Numenar wizards.
Throughout his long life, Niv-Mizzet has always been very keen on hiring planeswalkers to go to Dominarnia to collect these things.
But now, Zuo Si got it easily through just one transaction, although not all of it.
Just as he opened one of the books and was about to start reading, a petite figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, then bumped into the mountain of heavy books, fell headfirst to the ground, and was quickly buried by the collapsed books. He couldn't help but let out a scream.
"oops!"
But soon, the succubus loli Atona struggled to crawl out from under the sea of books, touching the place on her head that had just been hit and looking pitiful.
Since she was in the relatively safe wizard tower, she did not wear armor. Instead, she wore a beautiful light-colored Gothic-style princess dress, a pair of white over-the-knee stockings on her legs, and a pair of round-toed leather shoes on her feet. She looked both beautiful and cute.
Coupled with the succubus's innate charm, she can easily charm those adolescent boys who come from the slums to learn knowledge and skills.
It is said that a deeply addicted bootlicker has been working hard in the workshop from dawn to dusk and living frugally since he found a job, just to save enough money so that he can invite the goddess of his dreams to the most upscale restaurant in Chengmen District at the end of each month to have a dessert that is enough to cover the monthly expenses of an ordinary family.
And after giving so much, he had never even held the hand of the succubus loli. As long as he could see her once a month, he would get incomparable satisfaction, and then he would devote all his energy to work and work hard to make money.
Most importantly, this is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon.
Even a small number of women were turned lesbian by Atona's amazing charm, and wanted to hug and kiss her as soon as they met her.
As for the nobles and wealthy businessmen's children, who were not in short supply in Askatla, they lined up to pursue this succubus disguised as a human.
In front of the taverns and inns in the area around the Mage Tower, there are luxurious carriages and servants in formal attire parked almost 24 hours a day.
After all, Succubus Loli's external identity is Zuo Si's apprentice and adopted daughter.
Being able to pursue her not only means being able to win the beauty, but also means being able to gain better development space in Amn, and even gain the favor of Zuo Si himself and enter the power center of the entire country.
Driven by both primitive instinct and personal interests, one can imagine how popular Atona is.
Seeing the little guy looking a little embarrassed, Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh and tease: "Why do you come to me instead of teasing and playing with those suitors?"
"I'm here to bring you a letter."
The succubus Loli hurriedly took out an envelope with a red clay stamp from the pocket of her skirt and handed it over.
"Letter? Whose?"
Zuo Si took it and asked.
Because unlike the locals on the continent of Faerun who are accustomed to contacting and communicating through letters, he almost never writes letters and rarely receives letters, but prefers to communicate through magical means.
Almost everyone who knew Zuo Si understood this, so naturally they would not write to him.
Atona answered without hesitation: "It is His Majesty King Shane VII.
According to the courier, this is a diplomatic letter and must be delivered to you in a formal manner.
He also said that the army of the Shane Empire had razed all the towns in Tethyr and would soon be able to begin to exercise effective rule.
This means that you must speed up the unification of the north, then become the ruler of the Empire of Amn as a monarch, and finally complete the marriage and merger of the two empires. "
"Okay, I think I know what's going on."
Zuo Si quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and immediately realized that Shane VII was getting a little impatient and was eager to get his own Planeswalker Spark.
To this end, when his army attacked the cities of Dalauma and Saradas, they even adopted a policy of purge, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let them go, against the local nobles who resisted resolutely.
Several dukes who had held important political positions in the Kingdom of Tethyr were all uprooted without exception, and entire families and even branches were either hanged in large numbers or secretly sold to slave traders from other places.
In short, Sean VII no longer accepted the surrender of the nobles as he did at the beginning and allowed them to retain their titles, property, and houses, but not castles and lands.
It was this policy that led to the resistance of the local nobles of Tethyr being more resolute than expected, and ultimately led to terrible consequences, that is, the legendary demilich tore off his disguise and exposed his evil and brutal nature.
Today's Tesser is basically the same as Kalinshan. The original ruling class has basically suffered a devastating blow in the war, and it will take at least several hundred years for them to make a comeback.
And Zuo Si obviously would not give them a few hundred years to recuperate.
After he obtains the legitimate right to rule, he will let these nobles who are used to being high and mighty experience what it means to strike at a dimensionality reduction level and what it means to root out the problem completely.
"Master, do you want to reply to His Majesty King Sean VII now?"
The succubus Loli asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, there is no need for that. I will go to Tethyr and talk to Shane VII in person.
By the way, please take this letter to Vera in the administrative district office building. She will know how to deal with it.
"As you wish..."
Atona lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed gracefully, then smiled playfully, turned around and skipped away.
Just a few minutes after she left, Zuo Si cleaned up the books in the room, activated the teleportation magic and arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Tethyr - Zazesipo.
Perhaps it was because it had just experienced a war not long ago, or perhaps it was because more than two-thirds of the nobles in the city were purged, this port city looked a little bit depressed.
Except for the patrolling soldiers, most pedestrians on the street looked nervous and frightened.
Of course, they do have reason to be afraid.
毕竟扎泽司泊被攻占之后，几乎每天都在审判、杀人和没收财产。
那些昔日高高在上的公爵、伯爵、男爵，现在就像被关在笼子里的鸡一样，指不定什么时候就会被拉出来砍头。
他们年轻漂亮的夫人和女人则会在当天晚上出现在特殊服务场所，被有钱的商人、军官或是地痞流氓、士兵竞拍买下，作为发泄欲望的工具。
如果是落在商人和军官手里还稍微好一点，起码只是一个人，而且普遍接受过一定程度的教育，下手不会太粗鲁。
但要是换成地痞流氓和士兵，那这些贵族女性将会真正品尝到什么叫做生不如死，甚至有可能根本活不到天亮。
因为他们往往是一群人凑钱进行竞拍，所以竞拍成功后会根据出钱多少的顺序来排队。
没有谁会把这些夫人和小姐当成“人”，仅仅是想要把那些以前高攀不起的女人们按在地上反复的蹂躏，以宣泄内心之中各种阴暗、龌龊的欲望。
另外，因为不是私产而是公共所有，因此每个参与者都不会爱惜这件“工具”，反倒是会变本加厉的去折磨、虐待。
通过这种近乎残忍的方式，夏恩七世不仅成功粉碎了泰瑟尔贵族们在长达几百年时间里好不容易才树立起来的威信，将其一脚狠狠地踩进烂泥里，同时还满足了下层平民和士兵们的欲望，顺手还回收了一波发下去的军饷跟赏赐，简直一举三得。
左思在路过一栋旅店的时候，就看到十几个长满黑色胸毛的大汉，正在对两个长相如同女人一样柔美的贵族少年动手动脚。
后者明显害怕极了，其中年纪稍微大一些的哥哥抓起桌子上用来吃饭的叉子疯狂挥舞，试图保护自己和身后弟弟。
但遗憾的是，双方的人数比例和体型实在是差了太多。
短短几秒钟的功夫，几名大汉就把两个少年控制住，并让其发出了撕心裂肺的哀嚎。
那哀嚎中不仅有痛苦，还有无法用语言形容的屈辱。
如果换成是刚刚穿越过来那会儿，左思或许还会良心发现的帮上一把。
但是现在，他的眼睛里只有淡然和冷漠，装出一副若无其事的样子路过。
因为他很清楚，那两个正在承受痛苦和屈辱的贵族少年并不无辜。
或者说，在这么长时间的内战之中，整个泰瑟尔王国的封建贵族有一个算一个统统都该死。
如果不是他们不断膨胀的野心和欲望，底层平民的生活也不会那么凄惨，甚至大量被捕获卖到卡林衫当奴隶。
既然享受了贵族身份所带来的特权，那就自然要做好有一天为此付出代价的准备。
尤其是在这个从来不讲什么人权，玩的就是家族和连坐制度的野蛮世界，一个人犯错整个家族连带着一起遭殃的情况可太常见了。
可以预见，这种针对整个贵族阶级的清算还会在未来很长一段时间内持续。
穿过相对比较冷清的街道，左思很快便来到了位于城市中心的巨大宫殿。
这里原本是之前泰瑟尔王室的居所之一，但后来搬迁到了泰瑟尔堡。
当内战爆发之后，贵族们将其改造成了商讨政事、调解矛盾的议会。
不过现在，它成为了夏恩帝国皇帝的临时行宫。
五百人的军队和超过两千个不死生物驻扎在此地，任何胆敢闯入的人都将遭到毫不留情的追杀。
但左思显然有太多的办法可以轻而易举避开这一切，径直来到一座相对独立的小庭院。
此时此刻，夏恩七世就站在庭院的中央，与一名身穿华丽长裙、头顶王冠的女性对峙。
后者明显非常愤怒，不仅瞪大了眼睛，而且呼吸也十分急促，半球暴露在外的胸部不停地上下起伏。
但没过多久，她便像斗败了的公鸡一样，一屁股坐在身后的椅子上，咬牙切齿的说道：“你别想我写下任何具有法律效应的让位诏书！你永远都会成为一个侵略者，而不是泰瑟尔的合法统治者！”
“哈哈哈哈！ 你以为我是来向你讨要让位诏书这种毫无意义的无聊玩意？ 别傻了！ 我，夏恩帝国唯一的正统继承者，伟大的皇帝，从一开始就拥有泰瑟尔的合法统治权。
如果非要比一下顺位继承权的高低，我甚至远远排在你的先祖之上。
看看周围其他国家的反应，他们有出面指责我发动战争吗？ 答案显然是否定的！
从法统上来说，我收复卡林衫和泰瑟尔完全是天经地义的事情。”
夏恩七世抿起嘴角露出了嘲弄的表情。
不用问也知道，眼下坐在他面前的这个女人不是别人，正是赞兰达·斯达·莱茵顿，自夏恩帝国崩溃之后独立出来的泰瑟尔王室最后一个直系血脉。
在大多数时候，她都像金丝雀一样处于一种被囚禁的状态。
只不过囚禁者从泰瑟尔本地的大贵族，变成了夏恩七世这个外来者。
就像杰弗里当年说过的一样，名义上的女王赞兰达，其本质就是这场王位争夺战的附属品跟战利品。
不管谁最终统一了泰瑟尔，她都会嫁给对方或是对方的儿子，成为一台拥有高贵血统的生育机器。
但赞兰达显然没有想到，最终统一泰瑟尔的并不是那些本土贵族，而是来自南方复辟的夏恩帝国。
而且对于夏恩七世来说，她不管是政治价值还是美色的价值，都根本不值一提。
想到这，这位女王终于开始意识到了自己的处境有多么糟糕，强忍着恐惧质问道：“你究竟想要怎么样？杀了我吗？还是把我一辈子囚禁起来直至被所有人遗忘？”
“别急，负责处置你的人并不是我，而是他。”
话音未落！
夏恩七世猛然间转过头，冲着刚才穿墙而过的左思招了招手：“你来的刚好，快过来，我有个十分有趣的小礼物送给你。”
“你说的小礼物，该不会就是这位女王陛下吧？”
左思摸着下巴饶有兴致的撇了赞兰达一眼。
夏恩七世意味深长的解释道：“千万别小看她。
赞兰达·斯达·莱茵顿，阿莱曼德四世国王年纪最小的女儿，同时也是唯一在那场大火中存活下来的直系王室成员。
虽然这些年一直都是傀儡，甚至连人身自由都没有。
但在很多平民心目中还是有很强的号召力。
这也是我为什么没有将其杀掉，而是选择了将其带到扎泽司泊软禁。
除了能让你品尝一下征服一名女王的快乐，最重要的是她现在还不能死。
否则原本就十分不稳定的泰瑟尔统治结构会瞬间崩溃。”
“混蛋！你们把我当成了什么？玩物吗？”
遭到羞辱的赞兰达猛然站起身厉声咆哮道。
毕竟她之前虽然是被软禁，但大部分本地贵族都会保持最基本的礼貌，还从未有人胆敢强迫其做出一些不可描述的事情。
因为贵族都知道，女王是属于权力游戏胜利者的奖品。
如果有谁提前采摘了这朵美丽的鲜花，那么将面临整个泰瑟尔所有贵族的群起而攻之。
而这种礼遇也养成了赞兰达高傲的性格。
但遗憾的是，眼下庭院内的两人显然并不吃这一套。
向来没有什么怜香惜玉之心的左思，更是以一种充满冒犯性的动作捏住对方的下巴，轻笑着反问：“难道不是吗？除了作为一个稍微有点收藏价值的玩物，你还有什么其他用途？”
瞬间！
赞兰达被气得涨红了脸，反手就抡起胳膊准备给对方一个响亮的耳光作为回应。
可下一秒……
一阵剧痛伴随着骨骼断裂发出的响声，顿时让她扑通一声跪在地上，抓着已经完全不听使唤的手腕发出惨叫。
“啊啊啊啊！！！！！！你……你居然拧断了我的骨头？”
“有什么问题吗？”
左思似笑非笑的反问。
“我奉劝你最好赶紧搞清楚眼下的状况，然后学会如何做一个会讨主人喜欢的宠物。
不然的话，你的处境会变得越来越糟糕。
尤其是不要把泰瑟尔贵族以前给你的礼遇视作理所当然。
对于他们来说你可能是个无价之宝，但对于我来说你的价值基本跟宠物猫和宠物狗没有任何区别。
如果再继续这样摆出一副女王的臭脾气，或许我会考虑把你嫁给一个丑陋不堪的乞丐，亦或是兽人、食人魔、大地精、熊地精和豺狼人这样的怪物。
想象一下，你究竟是打算整天被臭烘烘从来不洗澡的男性侵犯、蹂躏，最终还不得不为期生育子嗣，只能沉浸在无尽的痛苦与绝望中，还是成为一个会讨主人喜欢的宠物过上相对安稳舒适的生活？
I think the answer is obvious, isn’t it? "
As these words came out of his mouth, Zanlanda's expression finally changed, and his previous anger and grievance were suddenly replaced by deep fear.
She felt an unprecedented deep evil from the other party's black pupils, and she had no doubt that the other party could turn this threat into actual action.
In less than two or three seconds, the Queen of Tethyr quickly wiped away her tears, suppressed the humiliation of having her dignity trampled upon, and slowly lowered her head.
Just when she thought that doing so could earn her a slightly better living environment, Zuo Si suddenly showed a chilling smile on his face, and said in a very playful tone: "It is far from enough to just show obedience.
But considering that you need some time to adapt, let's just leave it like this for today.
After returning, learn how to be a qualified pet that is loved by the owner.
If you don't know what to do, you can consult professionals who have worked in special service places for many years.
Also, remember to make yourself a collar to wear around your neck when you have time.
Pets should be pets, right? "
"You...you are simply a devil!"
Zanlanda's patience had obviously reached its limit. Tears began to well up in her eyes, and she turned around and rushed into the house, bursting into tears.
Zuo Si, who had played the role of a villain, shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Thank you for the compliment! I promise that you will slowly adapt to your new identity under careful training, and you will enjoy it uncontrollably."
Shane VII, who had been standing aside and watching the show for a while, couldn't help but teased in a half-joking tone: "It seems that you like this gift very much, so I feel relieved."
"I wouldn't say I like them, but I just use them as a way to relax and kill time. In comparison, I actually prefer those furry pets."
Zuo Si did not hide his unusual XP at all and spoke directly out his true thoughts.
"You... like furry ones?"
Even though Sean VII had seen many big scenes, he was still almost shocked.
He admitted that he had indeed been quite extravagant when he was the emperor of the Shane Empire and before he became a lich.
He had long lost interest in mortal races like humans, elves, and halflings. Only succubus, water goblins, dryads, young frost giants, and giants from other dimensions could slightly satisfy his increasingly perverted desires.
But the problem is that no matter how he played, Shane VII always adhered to the bottom line of "normal human aesthetics" and never included creatures like half-human, half-beasts into his harem.
Zuo Si asked nonchalantly, "Don't you think those furry creatures feel better to touch and make people feel more physically and mentally happy? Of course, the premise is that the creatures are beautiful enough. For example, the Banmao people."
Shane VII immediately shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I think you and I probably don't have any common topics in this regard.
If you really like this half-human, half-beast form, I can use transformation magic to transform Zanlanda into the appearance you like.
It's just a local deformation, which is not a problem at all for legendary mages like you and me.
Even some genetic modifications can be carried out.
Rather than such trivial matters, I now want to talk to you about how to deal with the Kingdom of Tethyr.
You have to understand that this land has been out of the rule of the Shane Empire for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to restore the recognition of the lower class people for the new rulers."
"Don't worry, I've prepared a plan, you just need to follow it."
As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a notebook that was two fingers thick and filled with tiny handwriting.
King Sean VII took it and glanced at it, then immediately realized the core political intention, and responded thoughtfully: "Are you planning to break up the noble territories that were divided in the past and establish a new administrative system with several important towns as the core?
That’s a good idea!
It can fundamentally change the geographical barriers between people and re-establish a new identity.
But I can only help you get started, the rest is up to you to handle.
Because I no longer want to stay in this world without any novelty.
The endless universe and time and space are calling me."
Hearing this, Zuo Si immediately smiled with understanding, and directly peeled off a planeswalker spark from his body and said, "This is exactly the purpose of my visit this time.
Since most of the previous promises have been fulfilled, I think it is time to fulfill my promise and help you become a planeswalker like me.
Come, fetch your phylactery."
"Now?!"
A terrifying red light suddenly burst out from Shane VII's eyes. Even the body created by legendary magic could not conceal the surging negative energy.
Zuo Si nodded solemnly: "Yes! Because after obtaining the spark, you need some time to adapt, and you also need to learn how to use this power. When you have learned enough to teleport and travel, the things in Furen will probably be mostly solved."
"Wait a moment! I'll get the phylactery."
Shane VII did not hesitate for even a second, and instantly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
He had been thinking about this day day and night, so there was no need for him to hesitate.
