The two new cards greatly alleviate the dilemma of the Creator, a special profession that is unable to cast spells.
It also increases the number of cards held to 15.
Excluding auxiliary cards like Mimicry and Mind Library that cannot play a role in battle, there are only eight cards that can actually be used to fight the enemy.
There are three creature cards and five magic cards.
Two of them were made secretly by Zuo Si based on what he had learned in this world and away from everyone.
Of course, in addition to the card system of the Planeswalker profession, he also used the characteristics of the Creator profession to create some magic items, potions and strange objects.
Add to that the magic scrolls that I have saved up on a daily basis, and the goodies stripped from the bodies of the dead after the plague broke out, and theoretically it should be enough.
Just as Zuo Si was considering using his [Refining] ability to draw energy from some less-used magic items to replenish his empty mana pool, the undead creatures wandering on the streets outside the tower suddenly became agitated.
The zombies and skeletons that had originally been attacking the living solely based on their undead instincts suddenly began to roar toward the tower as if stimulated, and began to gather at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As for the zombie, which had the language ability and a certain degree of intelligence as in its previous life, it stared at Zuo Si standing on the windowsill with shining eyes, which made people feel a creepy sense of fear.
In addition, in the shadows of the streets one can vaguely see demons evolved from ghouls, ghosts born from souls, and some other dangerous undead creatures that have not appeared.
There is no doubt that these undead creatures were attracted by the huge noise caused by the creation of the land card just now.
Fortunately, it took less than two months from the outbreak of the plague to the mass death of people.
Therefore, some powerful dead spellcasters, warriors, knights, monsters, and magical creatures have not yet had time to transform into more advanced undead forms.
Otherwise, this place might really become a kingdom of the dead.
"Shit! I knew something was going to happen."
Realizing that these undead creatures were planning to gather together and attack the tower, Zuo Si finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Since he had no control over the tower, he had no way to deal with the undead that were roaring in like a tide.
We can only wait for the tower's passive defense system to activate itself.
Moreover, with the magical energy stored in a wizard tower, it might be possible to release lightning, fireballs, ice cones and positive energy spells to kill large numbers of undead creatures.
But once the energy is exhausted, the remaining undead will break open the sealed entrance and rush in to kill every living thing they encounter.
This scene has happened more than once before to other survivors in the tower.
Therefore, Zuo Si was quite clear about the dangers and difficulties he was facing.
I can't wait any longer.
Otherwise it will be a dead end.
Damn it!
The task that rewards three card drawing opportunities is indeed not so easy to complete.
Just as he was repeatedly thinking and checking whether there were any fatal loopholes in his escape plan, a group of about thirty zombies of different sizes and six ghouls finally rushed to the entrance and triggered the warning runes placed around it.
The next second...
The originally dim top of the tower suddenly released a dazzling blue light.
Before the undead could get close to the sealed door, a series of lightning bolts fell from the sky.
Crash!
Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! The dazzling silver electric light kept jumping between the undead creatures.
The body of every target that was hit would instantly turn black, and then fall uncontrollably on the ground with its back facing the sky, emitting black smoke and a pungent burnt smell.
Just one hit! A ghoul and several zombies were killed.
It was followed by a series of fireballs as big as washbasins.
It kept exploding in places where the undead were most concentrated.
Deafening explosions and scorching flames engulfed everything.
The powerful defensive capabilities of the Mage Tower were fully demonstrated at this moment.
As for Zuo Si, who was standing above watching the show, he took the opportunity to absorb some negative energy emitted by the undead creatures after they were killed, and put it into the mana pool to use as black mana.
At the same time, he destroyed two magic items and refined about thirty points of general mana for emergency use.
Seeing that the undead couldn't break in for a while, he didn't bother to stay there to take advantage of the situation, but immediately ran towards his own room on the east side of the third floor without looking back.
Walking with his short legs through narrow passages and corridors, empty workshops and libraries filled with bookshelves, Zuo Si soon arrived at the dormitory where the apprentices lived.
But he is different from most ordinary apprentices.
His room was not a crowded common room that could only accommodate four beds, two tables and a few chairs, but an independent bedroom located at the innermost part.
When the door was pushed open, the first thing that caught my eye was two undead creatures tied to a rack, assembled from various incomplete corpse parts, riding on a device without wheels and with a structure very similar to a bicycle.
As they pedal non-stop day and night, the transmission chain causes the shaft below to spin wildly, making a buzzing noise.
On the rotating shaft, a large number of copper coils are densely and regularly wound.
Two huge ring magnets are placed outside the coil.
Anyone who has studied junior high school physics can see at a glance that this is a primitive generator with a simple structure.
The copper wire at the end is connected to a cylindrical crystal about half a meter long and about the same thickness as a water cup.
Through the slightly turbid outer wall, you can clearly see the silver electric light flashing inside.
Obviously, the function of this device is to store the electricity generated by the generator in the form of pure energy.
Simply put, it is a product that combines technology and magic.
Except for the cylindrical crystalline storage device which is a magical artifact, the rest of the parts use 100% electromagnetic induction principle.
As for the power source for generating electricity, it is naturally two low-level undead driven by negative energy.
Because in the magical world, there is no such thing as "conservation of energy".
Therefore, you only need to replenish the two undead with a little negative energy every once in a while, and you can output electricity continuously.
Zuo Si even gave this device a very meaningful name - "The Ecstasy of Capitalists".
He dared to guarantee that if the capitalists on Earth saw the undead creatures in the magical world, their first reaction would definitely not be fear, but they would jump up excitedly and shout that this is the labor force I need.
No need to rest! No need to breathe! No need to eat or drink! No need to fall in love or reproduce! No fear of toxic substances!
No need to pay any compensation!
With just a little bit of negative energy, these "little cuties" will produce value continuously like perpetual motion machines.
What is nine-nine-six, zero-zero-seven...
Even slaves have to stand aside in front of undead creatures that can work 24 hours a day without interruption.
By that time, the necromancer who can resurrect corpses and control the undead will definitely be the most popular profession in the world.
Maybe the value of a corpse will surpass that of a living person...
Walking to the cylindrical crystal connected by copper wires, Zuo Si carefully disconnected it with an insulating tool, removed the device that stored electrical energy, and fixed it to the left side of his belt.
In addition to storing the electrical energy generated by the generator, this strange object can also release it in the form of lightning when needed.
Under normal circumstances, it can release thirty bolts of ordinary lightning or one super lightning of amazing power at a target no more than ten meters away.
The former causes stable damage.
The latter is equivalent to releasing all the electricity in one go.
The power depends on the remaining power inside the object.
