The caravan stayed in Myratma for four full days.

It wasn't until Bernard squeezed out all the wealth of the city, and even made those nobles and chambers of commerce owe him a large amount of debt, that he "reluctantly" moved towards the next destination.

If he could, he would even like to see every city he passed through like this to be besieged by an army of monsters and suffer heavy losses.

In this way, you can sell high and buy low, and then take the opportunity to spend the interest earned by the loan sharks.

It doesn't matter if the debtor family can't afford to pay back in the end.

Bernard can also make additional demands by extending or forgiving part of his debt.

For example, the pricing power of certain goods, the exclusive right to operate, etc., so as to slowly control the trade in the city and the surrounding areas to form a monopoly.

For the Amm merchants, who were extremely commercially developed, and even had overseas colonial tendencies, these operations were like instincts engraved in their bones.

As long as there is an opportunity, it will inevitably rush to grab profits and wealth at all costs.

Of course, for Zuosi, the more business-savvy Bernard's business talent became, the more lucrative the trip became.

He was not a miser like Vermes who only saw immediate profits, and he would not stop merchants from lending money to local nobles and chambers of commerce.

Contrary!

Switching from pure trade to finance is a more advanced and efficient way to acquire wealth.

This has been proven by many advanced capitalist countries on the planet.

Although there are huge hidden dangers involved.

But Zuo Si didn't care.

Anyway, even if there is a thunderstorm, it will be decades or even hundreds of years later.

By then, he would have already left the primitive accumulation stage of power, and he might be able to directly use the power of sparks to obtain wealth from several different worlds.

The biggest difference between a traveling mage and a normal spellcaster is that from the moment the spark is lit, he can freely travel between different planes, crystal walls, and universes.

It doesn't even have to pay any price.

"Your Excellency, it is getting dark. If nothing else, we're going to spend the night near the ruins of Fort Tesserl tonight. ”

The captain of the mercenary rode from the front of the caravan and told the itinerary through the window of the carriage.

Ever since he realized that Zuo Si had the power to slay an evil red dragon unscathed, he and his mercenaries had become more and more respectful.

Of course, there is another reason in addition to this, that is, the team around Zuo Si is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially after leaving Myratma, not only the humanoid dragon Vermes joined the team, but Jahira and Khalid also joined the team.

In addition, there is also a man wearing a half-breastplate and carrying a [Bow of Strong Arms] on his back, constantly patrolling the surroundings vigilantly.

You don't have to ask to know that this man is the ranged shooter in the creature card LV3 Human Soldier.

Due to the completion of the two tasks of "making five creature cards" and "increasing the total number of cards in his possession", Zuosi has a new opportunity to draw cards.

One of them is the LV3 creature card Soldier.

As for the original loyal melee soldier, due to the absorption of dragon blood, the race has changed from human to dragonborn, and the profession has also changed from warrior to knight.

Not only has the card level been upgraded from LV3 to LV4.

And after paying the mana, dragon blood, dragon scales, and +1 flame sword required for "class transfer", his image changed to a strong man wearing a red dragon full body armor, holding a +2 dragon scale shield and a +2 flame sword.

The height has jumped to an astonishing two meters three, and the two eyes also show a beast-like vertical child.

Despite the fact that they usually wear fully enclosed helmets that make it difficult to see their faces, the caravan members will immediately feel intense unease and fear whenever they are stared at by those eyes.

"Got it."

Zuo Si, who was sitting in the carriage and carefully flipped through the Book of the Dead, responded absentmindedly.

Ever since he got his hands on this book, which contains countless advanced necromantic magic and knowledge, he will calm down and study whenever he has time.

Among them, the [Swollen Sac] series of spells, as well as the [Summoning the Undead] from one to five rings, or [Enhancing the Void Body] and [Immortal Captain], all made Zuo Si feel an eye-opener.

The principle of the [Swelling Cysts] series of spells is very simple, that is, through the power of magic, the terrifying cysts that often appear on the bodies of undead creatures are instantly implanted into the bodies of living creatures.

By manipulating the cysts, they release terrible negative energy and various viruses and bacteria to inflict continuous damage on the target.

The best feature of this series of spells is that they don't require a high cast level.

It only takes a few two-to-three-ring spell slots to successfully create quite a terrifying effect.

The [Undead Summon] of the first to fifth rings can allow low-level mages to summon powerful undead creatures to assist them in battle.

This necromancy-exclusive spell summons skeleton warriors from the first ring;

The second ring is upgraded to a bear goblin zombie;

The ogre zombies of the third ring are a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change;

As for the pterodactyl zombie of the fourth ring, the murine Yin of the fifth ring, and the vampire derivation, no matter which one is a "big killer".

If you don't encounter a High Priest or Paladin, you can easily slaughter a team of heavily armed soldiers with just a summoned creature.

Add to that the innate nature of the undead, as well as the ability to restore vitality in negative energy spells.

It can be said that [Call of the Dead] is at least one notch stronger than the [Monster Summon] series of spells of the same level.

In contrast, although the Three-Ring Magic [Enhance Void Body] is slightly inferior, it can also greatly strengthen undead creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits.

For this stage, the biggest use is naturally to strengthen the combat power of the shadow servant Yelnya.

And the last [Undead Captain] is definitely one of the spells necessary to play the "Sea of the Undead" tactic.

Its role is to select a relatively high-level undead creature and promote it to the commander of the entire army of the undead.

At that time, the caster only needs to control this commander, and he can complete the indirect domination of thousands of undead creatures who succeed or fail.

In terms of the use of the spell [Undead Captain], the red-robed mages of the Necromantic Faction of Searle can be described as experienced.

They will even concentrate skeletons and zombies for agricultural production, so that their country not only has endless food, but also can sell it in large quantities for profit.

Of course, from another point of view, these tireless undead farming armies are not a kind of "hiding soldiers from the people".

After all, they can be pulled to the battlefield at any time to be used as cannon fodder whenever needed.

There is no doubt that the spells, magic rituals, and methods of creating and awakening various high-level undead creatures recorded in the Book of the Dead all exude strong evil tendencies.

The casting materials of some of these spells are definitely enough to subvert the three views of normal people.

If you are obsessed with this for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be long before your mind and thinking will be irreversibly distorted, and you will eventually embark on a road of no return.

Fortunately!

With the continuous improvement of the level of the traveling mage, Zuo Si currently has more and more means at his disposal, and he has long ceased to rely entirely on necromantic magic.

Yawen Library

When the caravan began to stop and camp in place, he closed the Book of the Dead and stepped out of the carriage to enjoy the beautiful scenery at dusk.

Especially the ruins of Fort Tesser, already overgrown with weeds and vines in the distance.

Just as Zuo Si was about to get closer, Jahira suddenly walked over from the dense grass: "I just went to investigate the ruins of Fort Tesser, and found some unusual traces. ”

"Oh? Robber or monster? Zuo Si asked with interest.

With the Red Dragon and the Iron Golem by his side, he doesn't care much about bandits and monsters in general.

Because no matter how many of these guys come, they will only be slaughtered mercilessly, and they will not be able to make any waves at all.
