"Is the current situation in Tesser, so bad that all the noble lords are vying for and snooping on the throne? If I'm not mistaken, isn't there still a titular queen? Zuo Si touched his chin and asked with interest.

As a country crossed by two large rivers and almost entirely south of the Vortex Mountains are fertile impact plains, the Kingdom of Tesser is definitely outstanding in terms of agricultural and pastoral output.

Even the lowest peasants, as long as they are not looted by monsters and other lords, can fill the stomachs of their entire families through hard farming.

In addition, it is located on two natural harbors close to the tropics, which are close to the tropics, and both the fishing industry and commerce are quite developed.

Since independence from the Shane dynasty, there has been almost no famine.

Its geographical location is superior, it is simply God's appreciation of food.

Normally, a country like this should have a full level of "stability".

Sadly, since the beginning of the Black Ten Days of the Bright Blade (1347DR), the castle of Tesser was razed to the ground by raging flames, and the last king of Tateser, Aleman IV, was killed in the fire, and the whole country fell apart completely.

Intrigues, wars and annexations between noble lords have become the main theme of the last decade or so.

All the families involved in this game have only one goal, and that is to defeat all their rivals and become the new royal family of this country.

As a native, Geoffrey obviously knew more about the situation in the Tesser Kingdom than he did in hearsay, and sneered and explained, "Queen? If you're referring to the little poor one imprisoned in the castle, she is now more of a trophy than the monarch of the country. ”

"Spoils?"

Zuo Si showed a very surprised expression.

He originally thought that this "Her Majesty the Queen" should at least be a puppet.

But who knows, it's even worse than a puppet.

"That's right! Booty! ”

Jeffrey nodded earnestly.

Regardless of which family ultimately won the protracted war, a male heir would be chosen to marry the queen, thus gaining "reasonable and legitimate" rule.

And the children they give birth to will inevitably become the masters of the new dynasty of the entire country.

But none of this has anything to do with mages like you and me.

We are after the power of the arcane, eternal life and endless knowledge.

These worldly rights and grievances, let those stupid nobles fight to the death. ”

"That's right."

Zuo Si agreed, and at the same time took out a notebook full of tips and experiences on making steel golems, flesh golems, various constructs, and undead creatures from his satchel, and handed them to the other party straightforwardly.

He had already learned and mastered all the notes he had found in the upper area of the Tower of the Floating City.

Now translated into the surface lingua franca of the Feron continent, it is taken out for trading, and it is completely with the intention of waste utilization.

However, what is worthless to Zuo Si does not mean that it is also worthless in the eyes of others.

After the old mage Geoffrey got the note, he immediately opened it impatiently and flipped through it.

When he read the knowledge of how to create complex and powerful constructs and undead creatures, his whole body began to tremble with excitement.

After all, the author of this notebook is also the necromancer Ashta.

According to Faeron's casting level, even if he is not a legendary mage, it is not far behind.

After more than ten minutes, Geoffrey finally slowly recovered from his ecstasy, raised his head and said in an extremely sincere tone, "Thank you, South. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have stopped here for the rest of my life. But this notebook opened a new window for me. Now, I have the inspiration to get rid of this aging body. ”

"You don't want to transform yourself into a half-golem, do you?"

Zuo Si saw through the old mage's thoughts almost at a glance.

"Any questions?" Jeffrey asked in a tone of not very certainty.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and explained, "The biggest problem with transforming your body into a half-golem is that the more parts you regenerate, the greater the impact on your brain's intelligence.

I've seen powerful spellcasters who are afraid of death transform into mostly intellectless idiots, or madmen with unquenchable anger at heart.

Trust me, the Half-Golem is not a good choice.

Rather than live in such a humiliating life, it is better to die early.

If you really want to gain eternal life, I personally recommend that you transform into a lich or a vampire. ”

Hearing this, Jeffrey suddenly showed a bitter smile: "If I had the full knowledge of transforming the lich, where would I need to drag it out until now." ”

Zuo Si stepped forward and put it in the old mage's ear and slowly spit out two words: "I have!" ”

Moment!

Jeffrey's face and eyes changed, becoming full of fanaticism and longing, and there was an aura of danger all over his body.

But when he saw the huge steel golem, he immediately felt that his boiling greed was poured a bucket of ice water, and almost instantly regained his composure and sanity, licking his dry lips and tentatively: "What do I need to pay to get this knowledge?" ”

"It's easy! I can help you transform into a lich, but at the price, you must surrender your lifebox to serve me for at least a hundred years. Zuo Si unhurriedly made the conditions.

As a traveling mage, he is extremely sensitive to life and energy.

I can perceive that the life span of this old mage in front of me is about to end, and I am afraid that his time is running out.

It is precisely because of this that the other party is so eager to find a way to escape death.

"Hand over the life box?!"

Jeffrey's heart was beating violently, and his eyes were full of struggle.

For the Lich, the lifebox is a container for their souls.

If you hand over the life box to someone else for safekeeping, it is equivalent to entrusting your life to the other party.

If the wielder has the slightest ill-intentioned intent and destroys the life box, the so-called immortal lich will disappear from the world in an instant and forever.

But the problem is that of all the people Jeffrey knows now, only the boy in front of him, who looks like he is only about ten years old, has clearly stated that he has a full set of rituals to transform the lich.

If you miss this opportunity, it's too late to regret it when you're about to die.

Not many mages are willing to grow old and die like ordinary people.

They hope to have an infinite lifespan, and then explore the infinite planes, obtain precious and rare knowledge through various means, and then transform this knowledge into a force that destroys the world.

Zuo Si noticed the old mage's ambivalence, and immediately said meaningfully: "You still have a few years to go, so you can think about it slowly."

When you think about it, you can always come to Ascatra and get in touch with me through Bernard.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Before I leave Myratma, I'd like to procure a few wands from you, no problem, right? ”

"Absolutely. I'm going to check out the warehouse in the basement level right now to see what wands you can choose from. ”

With that, Jeffrey, who was very confused, touched his chest with one hand and saluted, turned around and walked out of the workshop quickly.

However, Zuo Si apparently noticed that he used the honorific "you" at the last moment.

This also means that in fact, the old mage's subconscious has succumbed.

It's just that I still have a certain amount of luck, and I want to drag on for a while to see if I can meet the good things of pie in the sky.

After Geoffrey was completely far away, Zuo Si took out a blank card and directly turned the huge steel golem into a creature card for his brigade mage class.

At the same time, it is also the only LV6 card on hand.

With his previous slaughter of the monster army, he gained a lot of mana.

Plus Bertogas, a red dragon in his prime, and six members of the Dragon Worship Cult who are not low in casting level.

That's enough to increase the Brigade Mage class from LV5 to LV6.
