"Master! The young man named Soth has already started making secret weapons for us."
After returning home, the first thing Ebeny Abbo did was to report to the "Lord of Symbols" to whom he was loyal.
After hearing this, the lich Lagon immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Well done!
As long as the product does not disappoint my expectations, I don’t mind giving him a small gift.
Did you know that with the equipment you sent yesterday, our hunting team has successfully surrounded and killed three adult blue dragons, seriously injured and captured an elderly blue dragon alive.
After losing their incredibly powerful Lightning Breath, the threat level of these guys dropped sharply.
There is no need for other Symbol Lords to take action. Just a lich assistant and a few vampires or mummy lords can easily deal with them.
Although these blue dragons are no match for Irykora (Anti-Harmony) Sargeran "Sharptooth", they gave us a good inspiration. "
"Inspiration?"
Ebenee Abbott blinked in confusion.
Although he is one of the few core members in the organization who knows the true identity of the master, he is not the "Lord of the Symbol" after all, and cannot understand the thinking mode of these powerful undead spellcasters.
"Yes, inspiration."
There was a faint light flickering in Ragon's eyes.
"I realized that there was something wrong with the strategy I used to deal with Ivykola (Anti-Harmony) Sargran "Sharp Teeth".
As an ancient blue dragon, her greatest strength lies in her ability to combine her powerful physical strength with her lightning breath and spellcasting abilities, and apply them to complex and ever-changing battles.
Even someone like the last emperor of the Shan dynasty, Shan VII, could not avoid suffering in the end.
If it was just a spell confrontation, I would have enough confidence to suppress Ivyco LS Gran's "Sharp Teeth" by joining forces with another Lord of the Symbols.
Now, if there was an item that could deal with the threat posed by Lightning Breath that wouldn't be easily negated by dispel magic or anti-magic fields, then that would only leave pure physical attacks like bites, claws, wing slaps, and tail sweeps.
And for most spellcasters, nothing is easier to deal with than pure physical attacks.
This is why I took a fancy to this young man.
The energy storage device he made can still absorb and store a large amount of lightning energy even under the influence of the anti-magic field.
Most importantly, we don't have to defeat or kill Ivykola (Anti-Harmony) Sargran "Sharpfang" like Shane VII did.
All we need to do is make sure she can't pose a fatal threat to the core members of the organization.
As for whether Calin Port would be destroyed in her rage, or whether thousands or tens of thousands of people would die, it didn't matter at all.
Remember! The principle of [Entanglement Talisman] is to keep a low profile and keep it secret, so that no one knows of our existence.
To achieve this, anyone except the Master of the Symbol can be sacrificed and abandoned."
Obviously, for the immortal lich, a "small disaster" like this can be restored to its original state in at most ten or twenty years based on the speed of human reconstruction and reproduction.
As long as the [Entanglement Talisman] can continue to hide in the dark and control the entire Kalinshan, then everything will be fine.
"Understood!"
Ebenee Abbot bent down and bowed deeply to his master.
As one of the few true core members of the entire organization, he was very aware of how strict the confidentiality system of the [Entanglement Talisman] was.
Even 99 percent of the controlled members are unaware that they are actually serving a secret society composed of powerful undead spellcasters.
Among them are ancient families that claim to have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
The number of core members like Ebeny Abu who know the truth may not exceed seventy.
In other words, only a few close confidants around the Lord of the Symbol know the name of the organization [Tangled Symbol].
As for the rest of them who don't even know who they are working for, they are simply connected by a huge intelligence network covering the entire Calishite.
Whether they are adventurers, ubiquitous merchants and peddlers, or holy warriors who believe in kindness and order, they often work for the [Tangled Symbol] without knowing it.
It is precisely because of the most stringent and extreme confidentiality system in the entire Faerun that the [Tangled Symbol] was able to grow rapidly in the hundreds of years after the accidental death of the first-generation leader "Dark Riseran".
The guild wars that seemed extremely dangerous to outsiders were actually just "small games" that the "Symbol Lords" used to kill time.
…
After watching his men leave through the secret portal, Lagun took out a mirror that looked like flowing mercury and gently touched it with his dry finger bones.
moment!
The image of the tower workshop appeared on the mirror.
The swaying figure in the middle of the mirror is Zuo Si himself.
At this moment, he has completed the basic structure of a huge energy storage device with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of more than six meters.
I am using the [Transformation] ability to add various materials one by one to maximize its storage energy limit while giving it additional magical abilities and properties.
In just a few minutes, this slightly turbid translucent cylinder began to emit a dazzling arcane light.
Especially the thousands of magic runes that Ragon had never seen before were engraved in a certain pattern near the center through the thick crystal wall, which made this lich who had lived for more than a thousand years feel unbelievable.
Because he had never heard of similar methods and techniques for making magical items.
In the continent of Faerun, apart from weapons and armor, slightly more complex magical items are usually made in one go.
Unless it is later affected by some external factors and mutates, is damaged and needs to be repaired, secondary processing and strengthening often means a very high failure rate, and most spellcasters will try to avoid it.
But today, Zuo Si overturned the lich's cognition with practical actions.
[Creator] This special profession from another magical world opened Ragon's eyes to the use of magical energy.
What was even more incredible was that he realized that when Zuo Si used this power, he did not draw any power from the magic network at all.
Instead, he manipulates the most primitive and chaotic magical energy according to his own needs.
Normally, this ability is only available to a very small number of advanced spellcasting professions, such as the [Archmage], [Cursed Firecaster], etc.
"Does he have some special advanced profession that I don't know about?"
Ragon touched his jawbone with his other hand, his dry skull face without a trace of expression.
Of course, as a lich whose skin and muscles had long since dried and rotted, it was impossible for him to have any facial expressions.
But the two points of light in the eye sockets were flickering violently, revealing the restlessness deep in the owner's soul.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si's entire attention was focused on making the giant energy storage device at the moment, and he didn't realize that he had attracted the attention of the leader of the [Entangled Talisman] organization.
But even if they knew, they probably wouldn't react too much.
After all, the [Entanglement Talisman] is too secretive.
His knowledge of this organization only came from an unexpected encounter in a game.
They are not as familiar with and knowledgeable as they are about famous organizations such as the Harper League, the Zhentarim, the Shadow Thieves of Amn, the Red Wizards, and the Masked Mage.
As for Lagong, the longer he observed him, the more he felt that Zuo Si was a "talent" worth recruiting.
At least when it comes to making and strengthening magic items, he definitely has talent and creativity that others can hardly match.
With his assistance, the lich is confident that he can create an artifact of incredible power.
Of course, Zuo Si was still too immature at the moment and needed a long time to hone his skills.
But it doesn't matter! As a lich, what Lagun lacks the least is patience and time.
He once spent decades or even hundreds of years slowly and in-depth observing the candidates, just to select and train a qualified "Lord of the Symbol".
After confirming Zuo Si's potential, the lich quickly closed the magic mirror and disappeared into the darkness.
