Chapter 138: Reunion (Fifth Update)
After more than half an hour, when Zuo Si left the only mage tower in Myratema satisfied, the old mage's face was full of shock, confusion, puzzlement, and disbelief.
Because the boy in front of him, who looked like he was only about ten years old, had just drained the energy reserves of the entire mage tower.
And there was not the slightest leak or abnormal reaction in the whole process, as if nothing had happened.
The old mage couldn't figure out where the other party had gotten all this energy.
You must know that according to the magic theory of the Faren Continent, it is impossible for such a thing as energy to appear out of thin air, let alone disappear out of thin air.
Unless you're making legendary magic items or artifacts, it's almost impossible to drain all of the power of a mage tower.
Those remnants will inevitably manifest themselves in the form of flames, sound waves, negative energy, positive energy, lightning and frost.
But now?
Zuo Si just walked in and stayed for a while, and then the huge reserve energy of the entire mage tower evaporated out of thin air.
Although he has several years of powerful magical items with arcane aura that can blind people's eyes, it is still far from being able to reach the level of legend, or a secondary artifact or an artifact.
So now here's the problem!
Where did the vanished magical energy go?
The old mage, who was sixty or seventy years old and looked gray in his hair and beard, fell into deep thought.
If it weren't for the presence of a paladin from Ilmat, the god of suffering, he would even suspect that Zuo Si in front of him was transformed by "Felin Demon Kui".
Because apart from the "Felin Demon Sunflower", there is no other creature in the Faren Continent that can suck so much energy in such a short period of time so simply and rudely.
Seeing that the old mage looked like he had seen a ghost, Zuo Si immediately pretended to open his mouth and said, "Thank you for your help. Rest assured, we'll take care of the monsters outside the city, as well as their owner, the Red Dragon. ”
"Uh...... You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”
The old mage casually responded absentmindedly.
If he could, he really wanted to ask Zuo Si directly where he had gotten all the reserve energy of his mage tower.
Unfortunately, it's quite taboo for arcane spellcasters to ask each other about each other's secrets.
If you are a close friend or ally, you may be able to ask a little sideways.
But if it is a stranger, doing so often means that the attempt is wrong, and it is light to turn your face on the spot.
If you don't do it, you'll provoke an enemy for yourself.
In this way, the old mage could only watch Zuo Si and his team disappear into the darkness silently.
After a full minute, one of the apprentices cautiously asked, "Mentor, what are we going to do now?" ”
"We don't have to do anything, just wait patiently for the results. Remember, we are mages, and there is no need or obligation to live and die with this city. If Myratma is really destined to be destroyed, then we'll leave at the last minute. ”
With that, the old mage turned and walked into the magic tower behind him, continuing his research as usual.
The assistants and apprentices were obviously relieved to hear that they didn't have to fight with the monsters outside the city, what should they do.
As for the lives of those civilians in the city, what does it have to do with them?
In Faeron, although it cannot be said that there are no mages in the good camp, the vast majority of mages are either ruthless and neutral camps that are not close to people, or they are evil camps that will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
……
On the other side, Zuo Si, who had made a sufficient number of magic cards, left the rest of the team in the city temporarily.
He summoned a manticore through teleportation magic, carried him over the city walls, and landed near the chaotic-looking monster camp.
Due to the use of the [Invisibility Wand] and the special potion that was enough to mask their own scent, neither the gnolls with a keen sense of smell nor the wolves who were good at tracking were aware that an uninvited guest had just passed by them.
After all, in the subconscious of these monsters, the night is their own world.
Humans who don't have dark vision don't dare to leave the city wall at this time, so they don't need to worry about enemies approaching at all.
To be precise, they were more worried about the other races in the camp than the humans shivering in the city.
For example, those gnolls who, once starved, will kill and eat all living things around them;
Trolls with low intelligence who are extremely difficult to kill;
Or the stupid goblin who is always noisy and keeps causing all kinds of trouble.
In short, there are also all kinds of contradictions between monsters of different races.
It's just that there is a red dragon owner pressing on the top of his head now, and he hasn't made any big noise for the time being.
With the advantages of "stealth" and "small size", Zuo Si passed through one monster tribe after another with little effort.
If he encounters a more vigilant guy, he will order the Shadow Legion to attack.
Infuse its body with more negative energy than its body can withstand in an instant, ensuring that it transforms into a cold corpse before it makes any noise.
You must know that if the touch damage of the shadow is reflected in the same number as the game, it is to draw 1 to 6 power attributes from the target's body.
Most medium-sized humanoids, on the other hand, rarely have more than 20 strength stats.
This means that as long as about 10 or so Shadows touch a target at the same time, that target will immediately die due to the Strength stat being reset to zero.
What's more, the touch damage of the High Phantom is even higher than that of the normal Phantom.
The more he learned about the Shadow Creature, the more Zuo Si felt that the Shadow Legion built around the [Shadow Minions] card had a lot to offer.
If used well, it can kill many enemies that seem to be very powerful in an instant, even overlord-level creatures at the top of the food chain like dragons.
Of course, it is not easy to estimate that a single breath of dragon breath can wipe out the entire Shadow Legion.
In addition, this card has another drawback, that is, it is completely ineffective against undead creatures and enemies blessed with the four-ring magic [Anti-Death Enchantment].
But the flaws are not hidden.
As a low-cost LV2 card, it's versatile enough to show.
Approaching the woods along the messy camp, Zuo Si soon saw a giant beast covered in red scales crawling in a cleared clearing.
She was none other than Vermes, who had been separated from the portal earlier.
In front of the dragon, there were two half-elves with dull expressions, obviously controlled by the spell charm.
One of them is male, wearing metal armor and is supposed to be a melee class like a warrior.
The other is a woman, who has stripped off all her clothes at the moment, and is standing there naked, looking like she is about to become food in the mouth of the red dragon.
Since the evil red dragons are a group of carnivores, they especially like to eat the fleshy taste of young women.
So usually, young and beautiful girls fall into their hands, and the end is dozens of times worse than that of men.
Some particularly cruel red dragons will even deliberately chew in their mouths repeatedly, listening to the painful screams and wails of their victims before they die, and think that this is the only way to eat them.
Seeing that a tragedy was about to be staged in front of him, Zuo Si immediately lifted his invisibility, walked out of the darkness directly, and interrupted with a smile: "Long time no see, Vermes." You've made a lot of noise. ”
Moment!
The red dragon, who was still about to enjoy the food one second, stopped the next second, staring at the "little dot" in front of him with wide eyes and an unbelievable gaze.
On that hideous face, surprise and emotion actually appeared, and tears didn't flow out of his eyes.
Because she knew that Zuo Si's appearance meant that she finally didn't have to worry about her brain being eaten by that terrible ......
