"Master, my body contains the amazing energy of a sun and two fire elemental princes. I probably have the power to confront the gods head-on now."

Along with the familiar voice, the dazzling light on Davian's body finally dimmed, and the originally red dragon scale armor on his body completely turned into a dazzling white.

It feels like suddenly changing from red dragon armor to white dragon armor or silver dragon armor.

But in fact, as long as you know a little about the "Sun Dragon", a species of dragon that lives on the sun, you will know that this white color is the color of the "Sun Dragon" when it reaches the ancient age, representing the most extreme high temperature.

When a sun dragon is just hatched, it is dark red or dark red. As it grows older, the color becomes lighter and lighter. When it reaches adulthood, it is the golden color that many people think of as representing the sun.

But as they enter old age, their golden scales will quickly turn blue and white, eventually losing all color to reveal only the color of pure sunlight.

If there is air or moisture in the surrounding environment, colorful lights like a rainbow will occasionally flash.

Obviously, Davidian is no longer a Flame Dragon Knight, but a Sun Dragon Knight or a Sun Knight.

If nothing unexpected happens, his breath in dragon form will change from the original cone-shaped flame to an atomic breath similar to that of a certain monster, or he may spit out a nuclear fusion fireball that can cover a super range.

Only such a breath can destroy the divine shield and cause enough damage to the god's body.

Moreover, even the Blazing Death Sword, which was forged from red mana and black mana, now had the black mana part inside it completely disappear, and was replaced by white mana that symbolized order.

In other words, the two-color sword of this artifact changed from black and red to red and white.

According to the naming standards of this series of weapons, it should be called [Zhan Ning Sword].

When holding this sword, Davian is not only completely immune to all magical effects produced by red and white mana, but can also cause incredible damage to chaotic camps and negative energy enemies.

Especially for demons and undead, if they are hit by it, they will be instantly evaporated by the power of the sun in the [Zhan Ning Sword].

In addition, he can release any magic related to positive energy and fire attributes at will, without being restricted by spell slots or the number of times it can be used.

If there are intelligent creatures in the time and space who worship the sun, whether this worship is directed at the sun itself or a god with the solar priesthood, Davian can gain powerful divine power from it.

If not, then we can only rely on the power of the sun itself and the quasi-divine power possessed by the two fire elemental princes absorbed into it.

In short, this time Davian definitely received an epic enhancement, and suddenly jumped from the second to last in comprehensive strength among the followers to the first place.

As for the last one...

Without asking, I know that it must be the first follower I obtained in Kalinshan a long time ago - Alena of Flame.

Due to their poor compatibility, Zuo Si made a simple upgrade a few years ago and then chose to let it go, allowing it to join the adventure team to wander around the continent of Faerun and even the outer planes, exploring and causing trouble.

As for the remaining followers, no matter whether it is the recently recruited Son of God - the female version of Sarevok, or the Storm Archer who absorbed the Eye of Talos, or the Archmage Agatha and the Flynn Varis separated from the Shadow Energy Core, they all have a high probability of defeating the Flame Dragon Knight in a one-on-one battle.

But now, Davian has surpassed them and officially gained the power to fight against the gods.

But the price he paid was that Zuo Si, a planeswalker, felt completely hollowed out.

Not only was the energy stored in the mana pool consumed, but the special ability of the spark was also used to absorb the endless veins of the fire elemental plane. He was so exhausted that he could hardly open his eyes.

There is no doubt that this is the side effect of forcibly absorbing the energy of the earth veins.

Fortunately, the level of today's mages is high enough, otherwise the spark would have to fall into dormancy for a period of time.

During this time, most of the planeswalker's abilities are temporarily disabled.

The only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to return to a safe place immediately and have a sleep, allowing the spark to slowly absorb mana from the time and space connected to the land card until it recovered from its weakened state.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si didn’t even ask carefully or check Davian’s status, and responded directly: “Since the upgrade has been completed, let’s leave this place quickly.

Now it's up to you to keep an eye on the remaining Sons of Bhaal.

Especially Aberdare and another guy named Viecon, we must not take them lightly.

I always feel that the Five Races are more like smokescreens put out in the open to attract attention and disrupt the situation. They are the real vessels used by Baal to complete his resurrection.

Also, I might need to take a break for a while.”

"Just rest assured, I will keep a close eye on them. No matter what these sons of Bhaal and the dead god of murder are planning, the ultimate result will only be failure." Davian promised solemnly.

"Haha, you are still as reassuring as always."

A faint smile appeared on Zuo Si's tired face, and he immediately prepared to cast a teleportation magic to return to Faerun.

He was so sleepy that it was difficult for him to keep his mind clear.

At this moment, Zuo Si finally understood why the old dragon Nicol Bolas was so crazy about wanting to regain the power of the ancient planeswalker.

Because compared to the power possessed by the ancient planeswalkers, the new generation of planeswalkers are simply complete waste.

After obtaining the spark given by Urza before his death, the Silver Golem Karn, just to test his power as a planeswalker, instantly created the Ancient Silver Plane with five colored suns, which later became Mirrodin.

But what about the new generation of planeswalkers? Forget about creating a complete space-time. With Zuo Si's current spark level approaching LV30, making a sun would almost tire him to death.

The gap is really too big.

Moreover, ancient planeswalkers often have many means of resurrection. Nicol Bolas himself and his brother Ugin have been resurrected from the dead several times and have not lost their spark.

No matter who it is, after experiencing the powerful spark power of the ancient mages, it would be difficult for them to willingly endure a significant decline in their own strength.

As the saying goes, question the old dragon, understand the old dragon, and become the old dragon...

The more he learned about the nature of the planeswalkers' core power, the more he understood why Nicol Bolas was determined to start the War of the Spark at all costs.

Just as the portal was opened, the leader of the fire lizards who had escaped who knows how far away suddenly came back with his men, rushed up the cylindrical mountain, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Wait! Don't leave yet! You haven't responded to my previous proposal yet."

"Um?"

Zuo Si was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly asked with a smile: "Are you sure you want to pledge allegiance to me? You should know that I am not the fire elemental lords you met before, and once the contract is signed, there will be no possibility of regret or violation."

"Of course! I've thought about it seriously.

You and your powerful servants defeated a Fire Elemental Prince and even devoured all the energy of the Fiery Abyss. You are as powerful as gods.

It is an honor for us Salamanders to be the vassal of such a powerful being.

Under your protection, we will surely be able to multiply and grow, giving birth to more and stronger offspring."

The salamander leader answered in the affirmative without hesitation.

Because he knew that with all the fire element energy around the Fiery Abyss being drained, this place would no longer be suitable for the survival of fire elemental creatures in the short term, and the entire tribe would have to carry out a large-scale migration.

And migration means vulnerability and susceptibility to attack.

If they don't hold on to a thick and strong thigh at this time, the entire tribe will most likely be captured by other lords and become cannon fodder in mutual wars.

Zuo Si keenly sensed the other party's thoughts, and asked with interest, stroking his chin: "How many people are there in your tribe?"

"Three hundred thousand! Our tribe has a population of three hundred thousand, and there are many young ones growing up. We can provide you with at least one hundred and fifty thousand qualified warriors and spellcasters."

The salamander leader quickly reported a number that he thought was pretty good.

As a race where every citizen is a soldier, 300,000 adults are actually equivalent to 300,000 combat units above level 7.

In particular, most Salamanders master innate spells such as Burning Hands, Fireball, and Fire Wall. Therefore, they can not only engage in close combat but also cast spells at a distance. They are quite good soldiers, and their strength is comparable to that of the Barbed Demon among the Devils.

The reason for reporting 150,000 instead of 300,000 was mainly to ensure the population base and survival and reproduction of the tribe, to prevent being wiped out by the enemy in the event of defeat.

"That sounds good. Go back and pack your things now. I'll send someone to sign the contract and take you all to Baator later."

After saying this, Zuo Si left a mark on the soul of the fire lizard leader, and then he and Davian passed through the portal and disappeared without a trace.

Before the legendary fire lizard leader could react to what was happening, another portal opened out of nowhere.

Then a tall and strong Pit Hell Demon came out, holding a contract scroll that was more than a person's thickness. He spread it out in front of him with a amiable smile on his face, pointed to the empty space in the lower right corner and said, "Come on, my dear friend, sign your name and the name of the entire tribe here, and then I can take you to the ninth floor of Baator Hell to enjoy a good life. Believe me, you will like your new home."

"Devil? Contract? Was the strong man who looked like a human just now a big devil in disguise?"

The salamander leader showed an expression of great surprise.

“You mean the great, just, generous, merciful Lord Soth, full of wisdom and grace?

He is of course a great devil, and also the lord of the newly born ninth layer, the crown prince of hell chosen by Asmodeus.

Being accepted by this adult is the greatest blessing in your life.

Okay, stop talking nonsense and sign the contract quickly.

You know, I am very busy. Today I have to rush to negotiate forty-three major deals, each of which involves the ownership of hundreds of thousands or millions of souls.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Lord's sake, I wouldn't bother to care about small orders like yours."

The Hell Demon put on an "I am a successful person" look, not hiding his contempt and disgust at all.

The Salamander leader obviously had no choice but to sign the contract without even reading the terms and conditions carefully, thus selling himself, his entire tribe, and all his descendants.

Not long after, with the help of advanced inter-dimensional teleportation technology, a teleportation channel connecting the Fire Elemental Plane and Baator Hell was opened.

The fire salamanders, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately fled with their families. The temperature in this environment was dropping rapidly. It was so cold that it was less than 300 or 400 degrees Celsius, which was not suitable for their survival at all.

…

At the same time, Zuo Si, who had just returned to the Mage Tower, originally planned to lie down directly in the secret room used to store his clones to hibernate.

But as luck would have it, Ovo suddenly brought back the first batch of mined Kadarin magic stones.

In desperation, he endured the tiredness and fatigue and met the great arcanist of the Netheril era in his room.

"My friend, you don't look well. Did you overexert yourself in satisfying the desires of a certain goddess? Please take care of yourself!"

As soon as they met, Ovo's eyes immediately flashed with a strange light.

After all, he has always suspected that Zuo Si had some unknown PY transaction with the third generation magic goddess Midnight.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to open a back door directly to allow it to touch the deep magic net and cast spells above the ninth level?

Zuo Si held his forehead and responded unhappily, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.

I am not like Elminster, who relies on selling his body and looks to please the goddess.

And do you think doing that kind of thing can make me like this? With my great devil's physical fitness, even if I do it day and night for several years, I won't feel the slightest bit of fatigue. "

"Then how did you get yourself into this state?"

Ovo sat down on the soft sofa and began to pick up the snacks and drinks on the table and pour them into his mouth without any hesitation.

It has to be said that his habit of tasting all kinds of snacks, treats and drinks with different flavors does not make him look like an undead lich. Instead, he looks a bit like a fat otaku in modern society who never leaves his house.

"I overused my powers as a planeswalker, that's all. But it's not a big problem. I should be able to recover after resting for about half a month."

Zuo Si gave a half-true and half-false answer.

He obviously didn't trust Ovo very much, so he would not reveal anything involving core secrets to him.

After all, the great arcanist's ideal is to revive Netheril, so who knows if they will suddenly part ways or even become enemies because of differences in ideas one day.

Fortunately, Ovo has always been quite sensible. When he heard that this involved the ability of the planeswalker, he decisively stopped the test and casually placed the dimensional bag full of Kadarin magic stones and a list on the table.

“Here, take a look, this is the amount that was successfully mined from the first batch.

Although it is not a lot, as the number of miners increases and the collapsed underground tunnels are cleared, the output will definitely increase gradually.

Based on my experience, this should be a bonanza of considerable size.

It can be mined for at least several decades.

A while ago, a group of red-robed mages seemed to have heard the news and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but I found them and killed them all.

After this lesson, things should be quiet in Sel for a while.

Compared to the Red Robe Wizard, the City of Ghosts that could return at any time is a bigger problem.

Because Telramant Tanshuar once returned to the material plane after the other floating cities crashed, and sent people to collect a large amount of knowledge, technology, and undamaged magic items. "

"How was the Kadarin magic stone usually used in the Netheril era?"

Zuo Si glanced at the number on the list and asked without even looking up.

Ovo answered without hesitation: "Generally speaking, the top-level Kadarin magic stones will be sent to the great arcanists of various floating cities to be used to create various powerful artifacts or magical items.

Slightly inferior high-end goods will be auctioned off and the arcanists will bid freely.

Most of these guys will turn magic stones into magic storage devices to deal with emergencies.

Low-level Kadarin magic stones are used to make some trigger-type disposable magic weapons, arrows, armor, etc. for warriors and priests to use. "

"Making weapons, arrows, and armor?"

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

He could hardly believe that the Netheril era was so wasteful that such important strategic materials were given to the warriors for use.

Besides, isn't it a bit too dangerous to add trigger magic to melee weapons? Won't it hurt your own people?

"Hahahaha! Don't be so surprised. In fact, this kind of weapon is much more useful than you think."

Ovo obviously saw what Zuo Si was thinking, and immediately laughed and explained, "We do infuse long-range weapons like arrows with large-scale lethal magic such as fireball.

But for melee weapons, usually only low-level magic such as burning hands, magic missiles, electric claws, cold touch, enfeebling rays, acid arrows, and scorching rays are used.

In this way, when the weapon inlaid with magic stone hits the opponent's shield and armor, it will instantly cause an unexpected spell effect.

Especially for weapons such as chain hammers, maces, and war hammers, multiple low-level magic stones can often be embedded on the contact surface.

In this way, when the target is hit, more than seven or eight first- and second-ring magic effects will be triggered instantly, causing extremely considerable damage.

At that time, many adult dragons were ambushed by teams equipped with magic stone weapons. Some were captured, some were killed.

In the area ruled by the floating city, it is rare for evil dragons to wreak havoc."

"I see!"

Zuo Si instantly understood the Netherese's thinking in using the largest number of low-level Kadarin magic stones.

To sum it up simply, the quality is insufficient but the quantity is sufficient.

Although a magic stone that can only store one ring of magic is insignificant, if seven or eight are used together, even if all of them store magic missiles, they can cause quite amazing damage.

Moreover, these magic storage stones are replaceable.

After use, clean up the broken residues and embed new magic stones into the grooves, highlighting the convenience of plug-and-play.

Aside from the fact that it may be more expensive, there are almost no disadvantages.

However, considering that the price of Kadarin magic stones during the Netheril period was relatively low, those that could store third-level spells were only worth a few hundred gold coins, and those that could store first-level spells were almost the same as scrolls, and could be used even by warriors who knew nothing about magic.

Therefore, any warrior with a little bit of strength should be able to afford it, and it will naturally become popular.

But now the West Coast Empire only has this one mine, so it naturally cannot be wasted like in the Netheril era.

As for the warriors...

Let’s wait until more mineral veins are discovered. At this stage, it’s better to do your own job.

After a short while, he completed the distribution of the first batch of Kadarin magic stones on the list.

I believe that those mages will jump for joy after hearing this news.

After all, how to store spells in a cheaper and more convenient way has always been one of the difficult problems that magic users want to study and overcome.

Something as expensive as a magic storage ring is obviously not something that an ordinary low-level magician can afford.

The same is true for storing spells in gems, which requires a fairly high cost.

Although the cost of copying scrolls is relatively low, it requires long-term training, and a certain amount of magic power must be permanently paid when copying.

If you copy too much, you may even lose a grade.

In contrast, the Kadarin Magic Stone is a third method of storing magic that is between the above two methods.

根据左思的记忆，卡达林魔石其实在费伦大陆的储量并不低，仅仅只是被发现的矿脉太少，所以导致现如今的价格居高不下。

就在他思索这玩意哪些地区的储量可能会比较高的时候，已经扫完了一桌子零食和饮料的奥沃突然把那张浮肿肥大的脸凑了过来，兴致勃勃的询问道：“我听说你最近在研究精灵迷锁？”

“啊，没错，我找到了迷斯瑞恩之戒，弄清楚了精灵迷锁的本质，因此打算在此基础上开发一个属于自己的大型魔法结界。”

左思微微点了下头给出肯定答复。

在分享魔法知识方面，他从来都不是一个吝啬的人，法师塔内图书馆里那些亲笔抄录的藏书就是最好的证明。

不管是从耐瑟瑞尔卷轴上获得的知识，还是精灵高等魔法仪式和迷锁，在里边都有专门的分类与记载。

至于能不能看懂、学了之后用不用的出来，那就是另外一回事了。

反正左思在这方面从来不藏着掖着。

这也是为什么无数高阶法师争着抢着想要加入奥法秘术会，甚至心甘情愿交出转化巫妖后的命匣。

因为这里真有他们无比渴望得到的东西。

“你是想要用魔法迷锁覆盖自己统治的城市乃至整个庞大的帝国？”奥沃继续试探道。

可这一次左思却笑着摇了摇头：“不。虽然我在未来可能会这样做，但那却并不是最初的目的。

事实上在我看来，使用迷锁技术来保护城市和国家太过于浪费了。

它真正的用途应该是以自身为核心，打造一个完全受到自己操控，且足以覆盖周围很大一片范围的控制圈。

在这个范围内，施法者不需要复杂的咒语和手势，只需要一个念头、一个动作、一个触发的音节，就能轻而易举产生想要的结果。

无论是召唤生物、陨石、火雨、雷电风暴，还是驱逐那些心怀不轨的闯入者、让自己刀枪不入水火不侵……

我的最终目标是让整个迷锁与旅法师的火花相结合，打造一个可以跟随我本人移动的绝对领域。

在这个范围内，一切能量和物质都会受到我的控制，哪怕是神明的神力也不例外。

但实现它并不容易，我目前也仅仅只是有了一个基本的概念而已。”

听到这番话，奥沃眼睛里顿时迸射出异样的神采，肥硕的嘴角也跟着微微上扬，张开双臂赞叹道：“以自己为中心创造可以移动的迷锁？

打造一个物质和能量都收到控制绝对领域？ 你的野心和胃口还真是有够大的呢。

不过我喜欢这个创意！ 如果不介意的话，能让我也参与其中吗？”

“当然可以。

事实上我已经把相关的知识和前段时间实验得出的结论，全部写在一本笔记中放在图书馆里了。

你感兴趣的话随时可以去借阅，到时候记得看完还回来就好。

而且我认为某些方面还可以运用到浮空城上。

毕竟有密瑟拉之核这个能量源，很多迷锁大范围的魔法效果实现起来应该会非常容易。

另外，我这里还有一些有趣的远程魔法武器图纸，你可以带回去打造一批，用来防范阴魂城的回归。”

说罢，左思从口袋里掏出一摞诸如魔力重炮一类的设计图和原理说明。

奥沃仅仅看了一眼，立刻就忍不住放声大笑起来。

他仿佛已经看到泰拉曼特·坦舒尔被自己打到灰头土脸狼狈不堪的样子了。

两人结束了交谈之后，左思迅速把次元袋内的魔石留下一部分，其余的全部让手下分发给各魔法学院，自己则迅速躺进密室内陷入休眠状态。

但主体休眠并不意味着投影也会陷入休眠。

恰恰相反。

位于灰鹰世界的投影，此刻正坐在城市繁华街道的一家餐厅内，以十分优雅的仪态吃着女招待端上来的精美食物，偶尔还会向那些朝自己偷来好奇目光的美丽小姐和夫人们报以微笑的回应。

他的这幅做派让坐在桌子对面的魔邓肯相当无语。

后者甚至怀疑，眼前这个家伙就是来自己世界放松度假的，从始至终都让人看不出有甚么阴谋诡计或是见不得光的邪恶计划。

反倒是像那些喜欢招蜂引蝶的吟游诗人，自从抵达灰鹰市后整天往返于各种宴会、舞会。

凭借超高的魅力将周围所有女性挑逗的春心荡漾，但却偏偏又若即若离的不肯再向前迈出哪怕一步。

沉默了良久之后，这位留着强者发型、光秃秃脑袋甚至可以在太阳照射下反射出刺眼强光的传奇法师终于忍不住开口质疑道：“你来到灰鹰究竟想要干什么？”

“我之前不是已经告诉过你，这个投影是莫名其妙被召唤过来的吗？”

左思将一块煎到恰当好处的肉排沾了点酱汁送进嘴里，看上去异常的放松、惬意。

“那你为什么不把这个投影收回去呢？ 知道么，现在整个城市都因为你的到来而变得躁动不已。

如果不是我拦着，已经有很多愤怒的男人想要雇佣杀手或是亲自干掉你了。”

魔邓肯语气中透露出一丝不耐与烦躁。

他简直不敢相信对方竟然在不违反任何法律、不使用自身强大魔法力量的前提下，才几天功夫就让原本还算平静的自由城邦灰鹰变成现在这副样子。

看看周围那些面露红晕陷入恋爱脑的愚蠢女人，再看看她们身边丈夫、父亲和追求者眼睛里迸射出的愤怒与仇恨，就知道左思抵达这里之后都干了什么。

简单总结起来就是肆无忌惮去诱惑城市上层统治阶级家庭中的夫人、小姐。

凭借高达接近六十点的魅力属性和对于欲望、人性弱点的掌控，凡人在这方面根本没有一丁点的抵抗力，很快便彻底沦陷。

虽然到目前为止左思暂时还没有使用物理方式给任何人戴上绿油油的帽子，但这种精神上的出轨已经点燃了男人们内心之中的愤怒与嫉妒之火。

更何况绿帽子这种东西，最可怕的就是处于这种不知道戴没戴上的不确定状态。

它会在精神上不断折磨摧残一个人，让人变得疑神疑鬼，甚至将其活生生逼疯。

反倒是确认戴上了反而心里更踏实，该原谅的原谅、该离婚的离婚。

要是换成别人干这种作死的事情，魔邓肯才懒得管对方死活，甚至会非常乐意欣赏雇佣杀手在某个阴暗角落里把人绑走，然后带到某个不为人知的地下室内，把那些能够制造对强烈痛苦的刑具挨个用上一遍。

可现在，他不仅要去一次又一次警告那些盗贼公会、杀手组织不许轻举妄动，还得想办法安抚通知灰鹰市的贵族和官僚，确保他们不会在失去理智的情况下走向极端。

不然的话要是真动起手来，只会演变成为一场单方面的玩弄和屠杀。

作为大魔鬼的投影，即便失去了所有旅法师的力量，也绝对不可能是区区凡人所能对抗的。

“那就让他们来好了，正好可以打发无聊的时间。反正不过是一场游戏而已，我会保持克制的。”

左思满不在乎的耸了耸肩膀，慢条斯理继续品尝着桌子上颇具特色的本地美食。

“克制？得了吧！那些因为拦路抢劫商队而被赶尽杀绝、就连灵魂都被扔进地狱的匪徒肯定不会这么认为。”

魔邓肯忍不住吐槽了一句。

左思咽下嘴里的肉，抿了一小口略带酸涩的葡萄酒，面带微笑的辩解道：“这可不能怪我。

毕竟他们抢劫就抢劫，为什么还想要干强奸、杀人之类令人不齿的事情？

我最讨厌这种不专业的家伙，简直丢尽了抢劫行业的脸面。

如果每一伙劫匪都像他们一样竭泽而渔，商人的数量必定会变得越来越少，整个行业有怎么能够实现可持续性发展？ 但如果反过来，只要劫匪们每次抢劫都尽可能的不伤人，并且只抢劫商人一半的利润使后者仍旧有利可图，情况自然就会不一样了。

更何况这些强盗被消灭之后，通往灰鹰的道路安全状况明显改善了不少，你应该感谢我才对。”

听到这番话，魔邓肯嘴角不受控制的抽搐了一下：“那支跟随你一起旅行的商队呢？我记得有个年轻的姑娘对你似乎很有好感，临别的时候你还给了她一件价值不菲的礼物。”

“他们早就完成销售和采购离开灰鹰前往下一个目的地了。

至于那个女孩，只不过是我漫长人生中微不足道的过客而已。

She is just a mortal, it is impossible for her to understand my complicated identity, let alone turn the beautiful fantasy in her mind into reality.

Of course, this also applies to those ladies and young ladies who are accustomed to a stable life and yearn for thrills and excitement in their hearts.

After all, distance creates beauty.

People always wishfully believe in and pursue something they think is beautiful.

But when these things really come and become reality, we will start to complain and miss the previous state.

Guess, if one day I suddenly show my devilish form, how many ladies and girls will scream and run away in fear?

How many of those men who are angry, hateful, and want to kill me will be scared to the point of peeing their pants?

Don’t you find this change in mentality and thinking interesting?”

After saying that, Zuo Si put down the cutlery in his hand, picked up the napkin and wiped the oil and sauce stains on the corners of his mouth.

"So you're deliberately playing with people's minds? Enjoying their clown-like reactions?"

Mordenkainen raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing this.

Or maybe his personality determines that he never trusts anyone, even the members who join the Eight Leaves.

Zuo Si casually took out a gold coin from this world and placed it on the table, then stood up and whispered in the other person's ear: "No, dear friend.

What I enjoy is not the clown-like reaction, but the joy, the joy that comes from the heart.

It's like you get endless joy from maintaining balance.

We are all essentially the same people, we just experience pleasure in different ways.”

As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si straightened up and looked around the entire restaurant with a playful look, then walked out and disappeared around the corner of the alley a few seconds later.

Mordenkainen sat at the table, staring at the steaming cup of tea in silence for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. He got up and left after about seven or eight minutes.

However, what he didn't know was that as soon as Zuo Si walked out of the restaurant, he was led by a young thief with short black hair through the most intricate area of ​​the city and arrived at the largest black market located in the sewer.

"Are you sure there's something I want here?"

Zuo Si stared at the young man who seemed to have some elven blood and asked.

The latter nodded without hesitation: "That's right. I bought this top-secret information from an insider for five gold coins. A powerful artifact will appear at the auction today. Now you only need to pay one hundred gold coins, and I can help you get the admission qualification."

"What artifact?"

Zuo Si did not rush to give the money, but continued to ask in a pretentious manner.

But in fact, he had already obtained the information he wanted from the other person's mind through the magic of detecting thoughts and memories.

“It’s the Eye of Vecna! The treasure that the God of Secrets left behind in the mortal world before he became a god.

It is said to grant arcane spellcasters great powers.

Many mages and warlocks desire to obtain this treasure.

So today's auction is bound to be a fierce battle.

I hope you brought enough money, otherwise you will probably be eliminated in the first round of competition."

The boy lowered his voice to deliberately create a strong sense of mystery.

It's a pity that his rhetoric might fool the locals, but it was obviously not of much use to a big devil.

However, Zuo Si had heard about Vic's "three-piece suit" a long time ago.

These included an eye, a hand, and a robe, all of which were said to have been used by Vicnar himself.

Both the eyes and hands require one's original organs to be dug out and replaced in order to function. They are truly evil artifacts.

In comparison, the Robe of Vecna ​​should be the one with the least side effects, but its function is only to provide a little magic resistance and slightly increase the casting speed.

As for the legendary classic scam "Skull of Vecna", only when playing games will there be "warriors" willing to try to chop off their own heads and replace them with their own.

In reality, no one with any sense would dare to use his or her life as a bargaining chip to gamble on a probability of one in ten thousand.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si immediately took out a small bag of gold coins and threw it over, saying, "Go and reserve a seat for me."

The young man quickly caught the purse, opened it and counted the gold coins. He immediately smiled and assured, "Just wait here for a few minutes. I'll go and get you a ticket."

After saying that, he immediately stuffed the purse into his leather armor, then looked around vigilantly. After making sure that no one was watching him, he quickly ran to a shed built far away from the sewer.

Since this is the largest black market in Greyhawk City, the personnel here are quite mixed, and one can even see quite a few humans wearing the holy emblem of "The Old Man" Iuz.

The goods were also varied, including stolen goods as well as the unfortunate people who were kidnapped and sold as slaves.

Just as the locals describe it, everything is sold and bought here, and the laws and rules on the surface have no binding force at all underground.

But the interesting thing is that no matter whether they come to buy or sell, no matter how evil and cruel the visitors are, they will not resort to forceful means here, let alone forceful buying or selling.

Otherwise, the entire black market would never have been able to develop to its current scale.

Just as Zuo Si was admiring the "beautiful scenery" around him, a violent explosion suddenly came from a fork in the sewer behind him.

Boom!!!! After the fire and explosion, a piercing sound came from near the explosion.

"Manab! How many times have I told you not to do those dangerous experiments and inventions in the store! Look at what you have done! Everything in my store is ruined!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem - calm down! Don't get excited! Listen to my explanation! This is actually just a small mistake. Theoretically, its explosion power should not be so great. There must be something wrong."

Accompanied by a violent coughing and quarrel, two short dwarfs, whose height was just above the waist of an adult human male, crawled out of the ruins.

Judging from their body shapes, one of them should be a male and the other a female.

As for why we have to judge by body shape, of course it is because they are covered with a lot of dust and messy debris, and only a human shape can be barely seen.

What's even more outrageous is that despite such a violent explosion, the two dwarfs didn't have any injuries...

(End of this chapter)
