After taking care of the two potential "hidden dangers" in one go, Zuo Si returned to his room to make a few more magic cards, and then began to plan for tomorrow night's ritual.

He knew very well that with the danger of the west coast of the Faren Continent, if he did not make adequate preparations for this journey, it was estimated that the entire caravan might suffer heavy losses before it reached the Vortex Mountain Range.

No bandit gang or monster tribe would easily let go of such a large caravan, and if it didn't happen, it would attract greedy and evil dragons.

If it weren't for the card system of the traveling mage, with the current LV9 [Creator] and LV4 [Mage], Zuo Si would definitely not choose to gamble.

The reason is that the risk factor is too high, and the power is too low.

However, now that you have the [Alaina of Flame] companion card, as well as the "meaty" and "hard" [Large Stone Elemental] and the manned [Manticore], even if you encounter an enemy that you can't deal with, there is always no problem in escaping.

Coupled with those few wands, even if it was attacked by a dragon, Zuo Si was sure to kill or repel it.

After all, the life of the Floating City Tower for nearly two years had successfully and permanently changed his mindset.

According to the Necromancer Archmage, Asta, if a mage feels that he cannot defeat the enemy in front of him, it must be something wrong with his thinking and strategy.

Because a truly prepared mage is omnipotent!

Although this statement is suspected of being boastful and arrogant, it also reflects the power of magic and the number of means possessed by the caster.

What Zuo Si has to do is to prepare as many sets of emergency plans as possible before setting off to deal with emergencies that may be encountered during the long journey.

This includes the passage to the kingdom of Tesser, which is in the midst of civil strife, and may encounter wars between lords;

Bandits that may be encountered when crossing the Great Desert of Carlin;

There are many monsters and beasts near the Vortex and Broken Tooth Mountains.

In short, although this section of the road may be about the same distance from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep on the map, the risks are not at all on the same level.

And it is rare to see caravans of size along the way.

Most of them are small traders who are confined to a certain area.

This is also the reason why the great merchants from Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and Amm prefer to take the sea route, even though they know that there are many pirates passing through the Nlanthor Islands.

However, Zuo Si didn't know that just when he was busy with his work, another group of idle "Lao Yinbi" was gathering together, discussing how to add "100 million points" of difficulty and interest to his trip.

……

"Rakesk! Is your portal ready? ”

Located in a secret lair deep underground, Ragon asks another Lich Master, the Master of Talisman.

The latter nodded thoughtlessly: "Of course! Since I received your notification, I have gone to the Karlin Desert as soon as possible to make two portals. But are you sure it's a good thing to give him the Book of the Dead in this way now? ”

Ragon replied meaningfully, "Are you doubting my judgment? …

Although the Book of the Dead contains a lot of powerful and dangerous necromantic magic.

But it's certainly not too much of a problem for a genius like him.

Contrary!

We can use the Book of the Dead to cultivate his interest in necromantic magic.

Make it obsessed with creating those powerful undead creatures and eventually become one of us. ”

"Book of the Dead...... Sounds like a nostalgic feeling. It was also after I got this book that I got to where I am today. Maybe I should arrange for a few descendants to go to that tomb to spice up this treasure hunt. ”

Another pale-skinned, but unusually beautiful woman, stuck out her tongue and licked her seductive red lips, revealing two sharp fangs in her mouth.

You don't have to ask, she is like the Lich, another powerful undead creature - a vampire.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But dear Shelesa, you must understand that participating in this kind of game is not only about placing a few descendants or monsters, but also about providing corresponding prizes. I wonder what you have in store for this young man named Soth? Another lich, the Lord of Symbols, asked in a playful tone.

The female vampire, known as Shelesha, slowly took out a long sword with an evil aura from her pocket, and her hand was still on the table: "I think this vampire long sword should be enough." What do you say, dear Shangra? ”

"Let me take a look. +2 Magic Sword, drain life force for the wielder per hit target, immobilize immunity, charm, paralyzing and negative damage, and increase the strength attribute by two points. Well! Enough indeed. In that case, send two of your descendants into the tomb. ”

The lich named Shangra took up his weapon and examined it, and immediately made arrangements accordingly.

With a wave of his hand, there were suddenly two more vampires in a room in the ancient tomb model on the table, which was full of traps, traps, and monsters.

With the addition of Shelesa, all the Talisman Masters present began to discuss how to make adjustments, remove or add monsters and treasures, in order to make this tomb expedition more challenging.

While they were arguing, the figure of a giant dragon suddenly teleported out of thin air, throwing a leather glove glowing blue directly on the stone table.

Syllable!

Moment!

The lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

As the leader of the [Entanglement Talisman], Ragon was the first to step forward and pick up the gloves and asked in an uncertain tone, "It's done so quickly?" ”

"That's right! At your request, I sealed the wounded old blue dragon in this glove through the most terrifying magical ritual.

On the surface, it can bring many powerful convenience capabilities to the wearer.

But in fact, it is a cursed item, and every time it is used, it has to fight against the old dragon's strong will to survive.

If it fails, then the wearer will permanently lose his constitution.

Until his physical condition became worse and worse, and he finally had to turn himself into a lich to continue his life.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to always win in the resistance of this will, then little by little, the wearer will take away the old dragon's life force, magic, and everything he has. …

And I've hidden the part about the curse, which is impossible for any detection and identification magic to detect.

How, it fits your requirements perfectly, doesn't it? ”

Sapuhrakta gets straight to the point about what the gloves really do.

And in this meeting, which only the "Lord of Symbols" attended, he did not hide his identity anymore, and showed his true face as a "dragon lich".

It was a huge undead creature made of the remains of a giant dragon before its death, with two eye sockets flashing with a red ghostly light, and the negative energy gathered in its abdominal cavity was enough to kill all living creatures in the entire town in an instant.

"Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted. ”

Ragon nodded in satisfaction.

"Tomorrow I will have my men personally deliver this gift to Soth as a token of his gratitude for creating the [Blue Dragon Buster] for us. I just don't know if he will take everything from this old dragon in the end, or if he will be sucked dry by the old dragon and forced to transform himself into a lich. ”

Shangla agreed: "It is precisely because of this uncertainty that the game will seem more real and interesting. Whether you become the master of your own destiny or be played by the cruel fate, let's wait and see. ”

"For the sake of young Soth! To celebrate, we've found another candidate with the potential to become the Master of Talismans! For the future of the Entanglement Talisman! I suggest a small event to celebrate. ”

"Oh? What kind of activities? ”

"Isn't the Guild War in Port Carlin about to begin? Why don't we make it a little more lively. ”

"Sounds like a good idea."

"I think I can raid the Harpists' League stronghold in the docklands."

"Let's just uproot the Harpermen's League and the Santalim Society's power in Port Carlin. I've been bored by their frequent activities lately. ”

……

In the midst of the gossip of the "Lords of Symbols", a terrible plan was born that would plunge the whole of Port Carlin into turmoil.

Since each of them is an extremely powerful undead creature and legendary spellcaster, they don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

Even every living person in the Kalinshan region, from the emperor to the slaves, is regarded as a pawn that can be manipulated and played with by oneself.

This is what [Entanglement Talisman] has been doing for hundreds of years.

They use the huge intelligence network to control almost half of the power of the Carlinshan, deliberately keep the other half of the power out of control, and then enjoy this game in a complex environment.

Temples of paladins, adventurers, and good gods are sometimes encouraged to fight against the nobles, wealthy merchants, and thieves guilds they control.

For those who excel well, the "Masters of Symbols" will also offer corresponding rewards.

Because these "little ones", who know nothing about the truth, add a little fun to their long and almost eternal lives.

Of course, if anyone actually discovers or touches the true secret of the [Entangled Talisman].

Then the "Masters of Symbols" will immediately put on a different face and gather forces to destroy it without mercy.

In the Faeron Continent, there are not many people or organizations that can withstand the combined attacks of several legendary spellcasters.
