Building a large mage tower from scratch was undoubtedly a new experience for Zuo Si.

Similarly, it also tests his knowledge and planning ability. Because building a mage tower is not as simple as crafting a magic item, nor is it simply a collection of materials and technology.

Instead, it is necessary to turn a variety of rooms with different functions and a large number of magical protections into a complete and inseparable whole.

Combined with the fact that it was designed with two different ideas, it was far more difficult than most arcane spellcasters could have imagined.

Especially hidden in the interlayer between the outer and inner walls

The "energy-absorbing circle" can be found in almost every corner from the underground part to the above-ground part. The price of this was that after only three underground floors and two floors above ground, the cost reached a staggering 400,000 gold coins.

This includes almost 50,000 gold coins of ordinary building materials. For example, the outer layer of the main body of the tower is used in large quantities

"Basalt" stones. Another example is the steel bars and iron plates that are used as support structures, and the adhesives made from things that are messy and unknowing.

After all, even if you use the creator's abilities, you have to build a rough shape first. The second is the casting materials consumed by blessing the tower with a large number of protective spells, about 180,000 gold coins.

This part is mainly to resist the powerful high-level plastic energy spells, as well as the transformation magic such as the four-ring [Stone Shaping Technique] and the five-ring [Fossil to Mud].

As for the rest, except for a little paid to the stonemasons, the wages of the workers and the food, all were spent

On the "Energy Absorbing Circle". That's it, not counting the scrolls, gems, and various rare materials that Zuo Si consumed before consuming the construction process, as well as the time and energy he put in.

On top of that, the part that has been built now is empty and there is nothing in it. After that, the interior decoration, furniture, displays, experimental equipment, binding circle, summoning circle, arcane garden, exploration circle, magic trap to fend off intruders...... The cost of all these things added up was not much worse than the construction of the Mage Tower itself.

It's even more expensive. It's no wonder that most mages can't afford to build a mage tower, so they can only convert their houses into magic laboratories to make do with it.

The people who have the ability to build their own mage towers are basically either high-level spellcasters or archmages, or the families behind them are rich and rival the country.

With such a terrifying speed of spending money, even Bernard couldn't help but feel a tingling in his scalp. For the first time, the young merchant realized that his family and the Chamber of Commerce he ran were nothing compared to the wealth possessed by these powerful mages.

In order not to delay the progress of the project, he even had to come up with a large sum of money to pay the part of the profits belonging to Zuo Si in advance.

Looking at this majestic building rising from the ground and incompatible with the low and dilapidated houses around it, Bernard couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I can't believe that after just over a month, such a large tower is almost finished." ”

"Done? No, no, no. Perhaps for an ordinary building, building the outermost part is barely eighty percent. But for the Mage Tower, this is just the beginning. The next step is the internal functional rooms, storage warehouses and energy reserves. The dwarf immediately corrected with a smile.

… As a veteran member of the Masons Guild, he has undertaken a lot of work in the construction of mage towers. Therefore, I know very well how troublesome and cumbersome the later work is.

Especially a large mage tower like this that covers a large area, it is estimated that it will not take a year or two to work, don't expect to be able to make use of all the space inside.

Of course, Zuo Si didn't actually think about doing it in one step. His plan was to put up a shelf for a mage tower first, at least a place where all kinds of dangerous experiments could be conducted, and the rest could be done slowly.

"Sounds horrible. As far as I know, the cost of building this tower is close to 500,000 gold coins, right? Bernard asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.

The dwarf sneered and replied, "Five hundred thousand? It's just buying materials, paying salaries and food. I'm willing to bet that the magic, technology, and piles of gems, scrolls, and rare metals that Lord Soth used to speed up the construction were not far from that of hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins. ”

"The goddess of wealth holds the gold! What an exaggeration! Is this the price of building a large mage tower? It's unbelievable! Bernard was completely shocked by the exaggerated consumption, and was dumbfounded as the figure not far away who was interacting intimately with his sister Yin Shadora.

You must know that he originally thought that the profits he made from helping to earn were the confidence of Zuo Si to build this tower.

But who knows, that huge amount of money is less than half of the cost of building the Mage Tower.

"Hahahaha! There's no way around it. But you have to understand that such a mage tower can be used for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the entire family and future generations can benefit from it. Look at how long the Masked Mage's Guild has only been in existence, but they are accumulating wealth much faster than the Shadow Thieves. With that, the dwarf man took his fair share of the salary, took the other hired stonemasons with him, and walked towards the headquarters of the Masons' Guild.

As for the tenant farmers who took advantage of the slack season to earn some extra money, they also packed their bags and used the money they earned to buy some daily necessities near the nearest market, and then returned to the manor in droves.

After sending all these people away, Bernard came to Zuo Si's side and reported, "Your Excellency Soth, the main body of the Mage Tower has been built. I don't think I can help with the rest. Zuo Si nodded contentedly: "It's okay, I'll take care of the rest by myself." I've already placed an order with the Masked Mage Guild for some of these alchemy and magic equipment, and I'm sure they should be able to deliver it in a few days at most. In addition to this, I also need some furniture and daily necessities such as beds, cabinets, bookshelves, tables, chairs, sofas, mirrors, bedding, pillows, etc. ”

"Do you have any special requirements for materials and craftsmanship? If not, I can order a batch directly from Babette Nasiwa at a relatively low price. His family has an estate in this area. Bernard was quick to come up with a solution.

Since these furniture and household items were to be moved into the mage tower for use, he didn't dare to buy them in the market.

Otherwise, God knows if those things of unknown origin are some kind of unclean stuff like curses.

…

"Yes. I'm not very particular about furniture and daily necessities. This is a list, please help me purchase it together. As he spoke, Zuo Si handed over the parchment that had been prepared in advance.

Bernard took it and quickly glanced at it, and immediately responded, "Please give me two weeks, and in two weeks all this stuff will be transported into the Mage Tower." If you want to move in right away, move some furniture from my house for a few days. ”

"No problem, I'm sorry for you." Zuo Si didn't mean to be polite to the other party at all, and generously accepted the help offered by the businessman.

Because with the current close relationship between the two, there is no need to be polite at all. If anyone dares to rob the ships or caravans of the Rhoerdain Chamber of Commerce without opening their eyes, then he will immediately strike back and wipe them out with a thunderbolt.

Bernard is undoubtedly well aware of this, so he said willingly: "It is my pleasure to serve you. I'll go back now and inform the butler, and ask him to arrange for the servants to bring some furniture and household items. Oh, I almost forgot, this is the title deed to the Crooked Crane Inn, and it's yours now. ”

"Finally taken down? How much did you spend? Zuo Si had a surprised expression on his face. Because every time the innkeeper Grocanner was about to close the deal, he would suddenly sell too high a price and try to make more money from the deal.

Sadly, this time he clearly met an opponent. As one of the best of Askatra's younger generation of businessmen, Bernard is an out-and-out master when it comes to bargaining.

And in revenge for Grocanna's rebellion, he also hired a shadow thief to steal from the Crooked Crane Inn, leaving all the guests who went to stay and drink without the slightest sense of security.

Over the course of a few weeks, the otherwise bustling hotel in the city gate district was completely unattended.

It is estimated that Grocanna should not be able to hold on, so he has to make it

The decision of the "tearful sale". Otherwise, his hotel will become less and less valuable over time.

"Five hundred gold coins. I paid only a tenth of the original price to get the Crook-necked Crane Inn. If you count the cost of hiring a shadow thief before, it is only about 1,200. The corners of Bernard's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Because in this deal, he not only got what he wanted at an extremely low price.

At the same time, it also taught the owner Grocana a hard lesson.

"Five hundred gold coins? I guess that greedy guy is about to cry, right? Zuo Si also let out a gloating laugh.

After all, the price he offered for the first time was quite fair, almost a fifty percent premium.

But even so, the other party is still not satisfied, and wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and get more. Now that he has ended up in this situation, he can only say that he deserves it, and he does not deserve sympathy at all.

Bernard nodded slightly: "That's right! When the title deed was handed over, Grocana cried very sadly. If nothing else, he probably won't have the face to stay in Ascatra in the future. ”

"It's a real delight. I'll get rid of the lich hiding in the Crooked Crane Inn tonight, and I'll be able to start demolishing and rebuilding the inn tomorrow. I believe that our chef, Mr. Welby, is already impatient to make a name for himself in Ascatla. ”… As he said this, Zuo Si raised his hand and gently touched Yin Shadora's hair, comforting the girl who was full of attachment to him.

Although in recent times, with his company, the psychic warlock who has suffered from serious mental problems due to his premature awakening ability has become a little more cheerful, and can even establish a good relationship with the little werewolves of the same age.

But in his heart, he still only thinks of him as his own kind. Zuo Si suspects that if it continues to develop like this, the relationship between the two will become very troublesome when they enter adolescence in a few years.

But Bernard didn't realize this, and immediately said with a smile: "I can't wait to see how those delicious dishes from the Eastern Continent Karatu make those discerning nobles praise." He had no doubts about Welby's craftsmanship from beginning to end.

Because these days, this halfling chef has been making various dishes every day, and he has already completely conquered everyone's appetite.

Whether it is in terms of quantity, variety, taste, and color, it can beat the best stores in Ascatila. If you add a little of the characteristics of Caratu in the Oriental continent to the decoration and service, then the rich aristocrats and wealthy merchants will definitely flock to it.

After all, Am's rich people love nothing more than to show off to others. And one such store is just what they need.

When the time comes, set the price of the dishes a little more expensive, the service is more considerate, and add a little magic effect and membership system to raise the style, you can definitely make a lot of money.

And Bernard wasn't worried about anyone looking red to steal a recipe or try to copy it.

You must know that Zuo Sike is the chosen person of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease! This identity alone is enough to scare most ill-intentioned guys into cardiac arrest.

What's more, Bernard also plans to use this store to expand his social circle, meet more powerful people, and strive to bring the family and the chamber of commerce into a new stage within a few years.

After a few simple small talks, the merchant quickly took his leave and went to attend to these trivial and troublesome matters.

After he had completely walked away, Yin Shadora asked, "Soth, my brother is using you, do you know?" ”

"Hehe, of course. To be exact, we are taking advantage of each other. He needs my strength, and I need his talent and talent for business. Zuo Si responded with a smile.

"Mutual use?" Yin Shadora subconsciously frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Because she saw the darkness hidden in the hearts of adults too early, the way she thinks about problems is very different from that of normal people.

"That's right! In this world, the relationship between people is often very complex, with a large number of interest factors, and the so-called simple love, family affection and friendship rarely appear. Zuo Si explained meaningfully.

Just as Yin Shadora was about to say something, seven mages who looked quite old walked straight from not far away.

At the head of the list are Vanessa, who has been transformed into a lich, and his friend Jeffrey. Obviously, because the release of arcane magic was forbidden in the city of Ascatla, they did not choose to teleport directly.

… Otherwise, the first time you will be severely warned, and the second time you will face a siege by the masked mage.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si immediately asked in a tone that was not very certain: "...... you guys are?"

"Lord Soth, these are my friends with Jeffrey. They are now experiencing the same problem as we do, which is that their life is coming to an end, and they have not found any other way to extend their life. Vanessa took the initiative to step forward and give a brief explanation.

"So you all want to transform into a lich?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise. Because he never dreamed that he had managed to develop a lich subordinate with great difficulty, but the other party turned around and pulled five in one go

Offline. What kind of consciousness and positivity is this? It's just a little outrageous! Zuo Si didn't know at all how many high-level mages in the Faeron Continent had to end their lives in old age with strong unwillingness and regret because they lacked the knowledge to transform lichs or vampires, and they didn't learn the nine-ring magic [wishing technique].

Moreover, the probability of success in transforming the Lich is quite low, and the initial estimate is not more than five percent. In other words, on average, only one out of every twenty mages who try to transform themselves into a lich succeeds.

The rest are often due to incomplete transformation rituals, either poisoned directly by poison, or failed to retain souls because of poor craftsmanship in making life boxes.

"We don't want to die, and we don't want everything we have gained so hard to dissipate with death. Don't worry, we know what it costs and are willing to accept it. An old man with a face with skin like dry tree bark gave a stern reassurance.

Jeffrey also followed suit: "Lord Soth, these mages behind me also have a minimum of LV13 spell casting level, and they can definitely be your good helpers." And I've talked to Vanessa that seven immortal lichs and high-ranking mages are already quite a formidable force. We can build an organization of our own. And you are the leader of your organization. ”

"Build an organization?" Zuo Si was slightly stunned. Boy! He became the chosen of the goddess of poison and disease, and then he became the leader of a spellcaster organization made up of lichs?

Is this how he is liked by the evil camp? Or is it the talent and potential to awaken and become the big boss behind the scenes after crossing over?

You must know that the reason why Zuo Si chose to help these dying old mages transform into lichs is mainly to find helpers to fight against dangerous enemies like the Santarin Society, the Dragon Cult, the Harpist Alliance, and the Entangled Talisman.

I never thought about what organization I was going to build. But Vanessa didn't think so, nodded seriously and explained, "Yes, build an organization. You see, Geoffrey and I now have most of the magical power of the two most important port cities on the west coast of the Tesser. And they occupy a place in the magic circles of important inland cities such as Willen, Dalauma, and Saradas. As long as we join forces, we can absorb huge benefits and all kinds of scarce resources from it. … And you can also connect each other's mage towers together to support each other. If one day you wish, you can even intervene in the civil war in the kingdom of Tessel......" The ambitious newborn lich has laid out the grand blueprint he has laid out for himself.

Due to the relatively weak magical power of the Tesser Kingdom, the number of mages and warlocks is quite scarce, and there is not even a decent academy, so it is all up to the mages in various places to train apprentices themselves.

Therefore, the seven lichs and high-level spellcasters are already the most powerful force on the surface. After hearing this, Zuo Si immediately shook his head with a smile: "It's too early to talk about this, let's help them transform into lichs first." I will give you three days to prepare, and after three days you will come to my Mage Tower with the necessary materials for the ceremony. ”

"You don't agree with my plan?" Vanessa seemed to sense something, and immediately asked cautiously.

"Nope. Your plan is well developed and your chances of success are very high. But the problem is, I don't have the time and energy to manage these things, and I don't want to be approached by the Church of Paladins and Good Deities one day. After all, I've had enough trouble of my own and don't want to add new ones. Zuo Si expressed his attitude bluntly.

What he needs is a group of people who can help him out of trouble at a critical moment, not someone who makes a mess and needs to help wipe his ass.

If you monopolize the magical power in the area of the Tesser's kingdom according to Vanessa's plan, or even intervene in the civil war, all kinds of troubles and enemies will definitely be indispensable.

After realizing that he had made a huge mistake, Vanessa immediately adjusted his mentality and asked in a very sincere tone: "Then according to your meaning, what kind of goal should our organization set up?" After thinking for a while, Zuo Si immediately replied, "It's very simple. The goal of our organization is to collect as much knowledge, spells, gems, magical items, spellcasting materials, and rare magical metals as possible, such as adamantite, mythril, cold iron, and so on. Apart from these and earning wealth, we do not engage in any political activities and do not deal with all the gods and churches. ”

"Well—that sounds like a pretty good goal. At least it won't clash with those powerful forces easily, and it won't get involved in trouble. Jeffrey touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"I agree. That's what a spellcaster organization should pursue. ”

"Yes! Vanessa's set is too rushed, and it will definitely be exposed over time. ”

"But it should cost a lot of money to do these things, right? At the end of the day, you still have to find a way to make more money. ”

"Why don't we join forces and set up a few chambers of commerce?"

"Chamber of Commerce? How can the Chamber of Commerce rob the money quickly. Let's find a few dragons to slaughter and loot the treasures in their lairs. With a few of us joining forces, even if we encounter old dragons and ancient dragons, we have a considerable chance of successfully hunting. ”

"Great idea! Even if you fail, it's nothing, anyway, it's a big deal to lose the equipment on your body and die once. In a few days, we'll be reborn as a lich next to the crate. ”……… What would it be like for a group of mages who are not good or evil to come together?

Just look at the scene in front of you. In just a few words, they began to discuss how to kill a few dragons who had already discovered the location of their nests, and then looted all the treasures that each other had accumulated over hundreds of years.

Its ferocity is no worse than that of the greedy red dragon of Vermes. Although strictly speaking, Zuo Si's sometimes approach is not much different from the other party.

But the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously when he listened. Especially when you become a lich, you don't have to worry about death at all, so even the most cautious mage is now extremely aggressive and bold.

In the end, Zuo Si couldn't stand it and interrupted them

Imagine a "better future".

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you need to think about now is to prepare the materials to make the life box. Only by successfully transforming yourself into a lich can these plans be implemented. If anyone accidentally dies during the conversion process, or becomes an idiot, then only God can save you. "Instantly!

The lively discussion suddenly became quiet. Except for Vanessa, who was already a lich, the remaining six people all showed very solemn expressions.

After exchanging glances, they walked into the mage's tower, cast teleportation magic and returned to their quarters, where they began to prepare everything necessary to transform the lich.

After everyone was gone, Zuo Si said to Vanessa, "Prepare yourself, tonight we are going to kick the door of another lich's house." If I don't get to kill them in the first place, you may need to spell them. ”

"Another lich?" Vanessa's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes. He's a guy hiding under an inn in the City Gate District. We'll act after dark to make sure we can get rid of it once and for all. After saying this, Zuo Si asked Vanessa to prepare the spell, and he took Yin Shadora to the empty room with only one chair on the upper floor, placed the girl here temporarily, and then opened it

Legacy starts looking at the taskbar. [Craft a Treasure Card (Reward 1 Gacha, completed)] [Upgrade any class obtained through Mimic to LV11 (Reward 2 Gacha Attempts, completed)] [Build your own Magic Tower (Reward 2 Gacha Chances, completed)] [Hold a total of 100 Cards (Reward 1 Gacha Chance, currently hold 95 Cards)] [Make an Enchantment Card (Reward 2 Gacha Chances)] [Craft 5 LV7 Cards (Reward 3 Gacha Chances, One has been made so far, and four more need to be made)] [Transform the divine power in the body into another energy that can be fully controlled by the spark (rewarding a unique card of rarity)] As the level of the traveling mage reaches LV7, Zuo Si's quest to get a card draw opportunity has also increased to seven.

The last task, in particular, seems to imply something. However, with the current power of the spark, the conversion efficiency of the energy of divine power is very low.

Therefore, he has no good way, but can only grind little by little. … Since the first three missions have been completed, Zuo Si now has five more card draws.

Without any hesitation! He directly and neatly chose to open the draw. In the blink of an eye, five new cards appear in front of you.

The first is [Magic Card: Make It Echo], a LV5 red card that can record the last successfully released spell on any target other than yourself, and then use it within a minute.

With the LV7 Brigade Mage level, spells below the Nine Rings should almost be successfully copied. To use it, you need to pay 10 red mana, or 10 universal mana.

The second is [Magic Card: Spell Counter], a LV4 blue card that can forcibly interrupt the opponent's spell that is being released.

You need to pay seven blue mana, or seven universal mana. The third is [Creature Card: Orlanri Hydra], a LV7 green card that can summon an extraordinary dragon creature with five heads and an infinite increase in size to fight for the Brigade Mage.

When summoned, the creature initially has 40 Strength stats, and each active land card on it increases its size by one unit (+3 for Strength and Constitution), and if the land card produces green mana, the Dragons are given an additional unit.

The original Oranri Hydra had 30 spell resistance, with an additional 5 for each additional unit size.

At the same time, the scales' protection against physical damage, their own health and attack power will also increase.

And after increasing the size of the unit by three, it gains the ability to quickly regenerate and increase the acid damage when attacking a head; After that, with each additional size unit, the remaining four heads gain Lightning, Fire, Freeze, and Toxin Damage in turn.

When increased in size to 10 units, the Oranri Hydra is not only completely immune to these forms of energy attacks, but also evolves the attached attribute attacks into a large area of spit.

You can use it for twenty-five green mana, or twenty-five generic mana. The fourth card is [Magic Card: God of War Possession], a LV6 red card, which allows the brigade mage to gain strong strength, agility and constitution bonuses in a short period of time, and at the same time, he will also gain strong magic resistance, combat experience and various weapon use skills like a high-level warrior.

The higher the level of the Brigade Mage, the more terrifying the melee combat ability gained, with each cast level lasting one minute.

To use it, you need to pay fifteen red mana, or fifteen universal mana. The fifth, rather strange, is a never-before-seen card type called [Directional Teleportation - Zendikar].

This card costs 200 universal or blue mana in one go. And the card itself doesn't go into the graveyard, but disappears completely once it's used up.

"Zendikar? Eldrazi Titans? Recalling these two familiar names, Zuo Si's face suddenly became extremely serious and solemn.

As long as his brain isn't broken, he won't use this card lightly. The reason is simple! Zendikar is a magical world with so much magical power that it almost overflows, and its astonishing energies rush and surge through the air, creating unimaginably spectacular landscapes.

… But at the same time, it is also an extremely dangerous world, so dangerous that even gods have a high chance of being killed.

The place had been invaded by three powerful Eldrazi Titans, and the entire world was once on the verge of destruction.

The so-called Eldrazi is actually a powerful being like Cthulhu that is almost impossible to defeat or even kill by mortals.

With the power that Zuo Si has now, even if he encounters a powerful point of Eldrazi's descendants and creations, he will be crushed in minutes.

Compared to Zendikar's nightmarish survival difficulty, Feren, who is full of dangers and dies every three or five days, can be counted

"Peace and tranquility". There is no doubt that [Location Teleportation: Zendikar] and [Creature Card: Oranri Hydra] alone are enough to show that

The previous director of "Legacy" must have been to Zendikar. It's just that I don't know if Zendikar was there before the Eldrazi invasion or after he was sealed, or if he was just in time for the invasion to start and participate in the earth-shattering battle.

However, Zuo Si, who had no intention of going to Zendikar for the time being, did not delve into it, but set his sights on the three magic cards.

With the two cards of [Make It Echo] and [Spell Counter] in it, the chance of winning against the lich hidden in the secret door of the hotel at night has undoubtedly increased a lot.

As for the [God of War Possession] card, it seems that the function is a bit similar to [Tamson Transfiguration], which is to give the mage a strong physique, combat experience, and weapon use skills for a short time.

But the good thing is that it won't be the same as the latter, and after activation, it will temporarily lose its ability to cast spells and become a pure warrior.

It also lasts up to one minute per Brigade Mage level. If it is paired with a powerful magic weapon, it can definitely give the opponent a huge surprise at the critical moment.

In addition, the first three tasks in the quest bar have also been changed to: [Craft 5 Treasure Cards (Reward 2 Gacha Chances)] [Upgrade any class obtained through mimicry to LV15 (Reward 2 Gacha Chances)] [Collect at least 5 or more advanced classes related to mages in the current world and corresponding knowledge (Reward 2 Gacha Chances)]

"Advanced Profession...... Looks like it's time for me to get ready to leave for Candlekeep. But before that, we have to find a way to get some money. Otherwise, you can't afford to hire the expensive scribes at Candlefort. Zuo Si whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Because he had almost spent all his savings to build the mage tower at his feet. But fortunately, you can rob a lich after dark, and the other party's property should not be too shabby.

With his own mage tower, Zuo Si naturally no longer chose to live in Bernard's house, but transferred everything over.

In particular, the mutant hound, which was comparable in size to a baby ivory elephant, was transported to the lowest level of the mage tower for the first time, because Vermes was personally responsible for controlling and guarding it.

Judging from the high bulging belly, it won't be long before it should be produced. For the half-dragon bred by this big guy, Zuo Si has quite high expectations.

As for the others, after the housekeeper brought some furniture and household items, they all got a small room of their own.

… Looking at the large area around her that was empty and empty, Alena asked in a tone of uncertainty that "this is our future home?" Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right." By the time the masked mage delivers what I ordered, the tower will be ready for use. And the underground part is connected to the city's sewers, so I'm going to raise some goblins and other small monsters that reproduce faster as experimental materials. "After all, this is a mage tower built by him, and it really belongs to him, and it is completely different from using someone else's mage tower before.

"Raising goblins?!" Ritter's mouth opened wide in disbelief. The orc warrior didn't understand what other use a common goblin could be for anything other than wasting food and adding a little combat experience to novice adventurers.

"Don't underestimate the goblins. Not only are these guys extremely adaptable. And even if you eat garbage, you can quickly multiply and grow in a short period of time. Ideal for replacing mice to become better test subjects. On top of that, they are humanoids, very close in physiology to humans, elves, dwarves. Often, magic and potions that work on goblins can have the same effect on humans. Zuo Si gave a meaningful reason for raising goblins.

It only takes five years for a goblin to reach adulthood, and it often takes a litter to give birth to an astonishing number of as few as six or seven or as many as ten, which is comparable to that of a sow.

This process can even be accelerated by magic and hormones to less than three months. It's simply the best alternative to experimental mice.

In addition, the little monster like a pest is very easy to control, as long as you summon a few big goblins or one or two bear goblins, you can control them firmly, and you don't have to worry about causing any trouble.

It can also be used as cannon fodder and coolies when necessary, and even corpses after death can be used as materials for necromantic magic.

If you raise some powerful and ferocious monsters in the future, goblins can also be fed as fodder. It is easy to feed, has many births, grows quickly, does not get sick easily, and has a variety of uses...... With so many benefits, why wouldn't you have a nest of goblins?

Ritter was apparently left to think

The "shocking" remarks were startled, and he immediately took two steps back and whispered: "Damn! I'm starting to feel a little sympathetic to those pesky goblins now. It is estimated that those unlucky people who are caught here will have a very miserable life in the future. ”

"Whatever, it's just a bunch of goblins anyway, and no one cares." Alena shrugged her shoulders nonchallowedly.

"No, it's not just about raising a nest of goblins. If the whole project goes well enough, then we can make copies and even sell goblins to mages who need them. Vanessa, a lich, was clearly aware of Zuosi's intentions.

After all, for most necromancers, it is difficult to ensure that the supply is sufficient, whether it is a living experimental material or a dead corpse.

Especially in areas where slavery is prohibited, you can't just rush into someone's house, or find a relatively remote village to kidnap the living, right?

… As for how hard it is to go to the wild to find the monster tribe, let's not mention it for the time being, the key is that if you don't do it well, it will overturn.

At this time, the benefits of breeding a large number of goblins are manifested. In addition, goblins, like dark elves, have no human rights in the first place.

Even if it is known to the outside world, no one will care. Thinking of this, Vanessa subconsciously glanced at the drow not far away, who was wearing a suit of chain mail and wearing a modified slavery collar around his neck.

Since the strange thing has slowly emptied all the memories and knowledge in her head, this guy is basically a human flesh shield that specializes in researching materials and resisting spells.

Zuo Si touched his chin and added with interest: "Not only that! I can also get Vangus and her people to transform goblins into werewolves by spreading bestiality, giving them a physical fitness that is not inferior to that of most human warriors. In short, goblins are not as useless as one might think, they just haven't found a way to do it. ”

"You don't want to create a bunch of half-dragons and broodlings among goblins, do you?" Vermes asked with a wary expression.

"Why not? Anyway, Bertogas is dead, and we can make the most of what he left behind. But don't worry, I won't be making too much this time. After all, goblins are naturally chaotic creatures, unlike the orderly and obedient kobolds. Speaking of which, I think it seems like I should send some food to the kobolds who stayed in the dragon's lair. Otherwise, after the eggs of those half-dragon kobolds hatched, their food reserves should not last long. "Due to his recent efforts to build the Mage's Tower, Zuosi has almost forgotten about the kobolds in Bertagath's lair.

Maybe after a while, consider building a permanent portal in both places. Anyway, with the power of the Brigade Mage Spark, he uses teleportation magic much easier than the local mages of Faeron.
