Chapter 193: Are You Looking for Me (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asking for Subscription)
The parliament next to the government office building of the "Gold Coin Capital" administrative district.
It is the second most majestic building in the city after the Temple of Wealth, and it is also the place where the forty-two families who control Ascatra compete for interests and discuss foreign policy.
Since the envoys who had just returned from Candlefort a few days ago had brought back the contract that symbolized victory, a special meeting was held today to discuss how to divide up the share of the trade that had been stolen from Baldur's Gate.
Yes, it's a partition.
Those ordinary merchants and civilians could not get any additional benefits from the treaty at all, and at most they could only pick up some leftovers from the big family.
Once again, it has been proven that there is no such thing as a "fair" business environment in the world.
Any business activity that grows to a certain extent will inevitably be unable to escape the influence of politics, and even the two are bound to each other from the beginning.
And Am, the business empire closest to the capitalist system on the planet, is naturally the best of them.
Looking at the trade protection law enacted by it, it is not difficult to see that the essence of this country is to give those families with huge wealth and capital a more relaxed environment for expansion, so that they can form absolute monopolies in one field after another.
As the "hero" and "hero" of this negotiation, Sir Christian was naturally the star of the meeting.
In addition, he had followed Zuo Si's advice before, and when he returned, he made a campaign in advance to let everyone know how much benefit he had won for Am.
Therefore, when this already famous nobleman appeared, everyone stood up and gave warm applause and praise.
After all, he overfulfilled the task assigned by the six-member council, and even after the envoy was attacked by evil forces, he "bravely" continued to advance towards Candle Castle, leaving the Baldur's Gate side in passivity and trouble, and finally had to make huge concessions.
Of course, Sir Chrispien has not forgotten that the reason why he was able to win the power he has from the hands of the Council of Six to the position he is today is all thanks to the help of Zuo Si.
So he did not hesitate to use his position and gave the largest piece of the cake to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce.
In the current Ascatla, there is no nobleman who does not know the relationship between Bernard and Zuosi.
After the "spoils were over", Sir Christian immediately approached Bernard, as well as his friend Babette, the heir of the Naciwar family.
He didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I went to Candlefort to negotiate with Baldur's Gate this time, and it was only up to Sir Soth to survive that terrible attack, and finally completed my mission brilliantly. So I hope that the benefits of this division to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, Sir Souths can get a relatively high share. β
"Don't worry about that, I'll give him all the profits from these trade lanes as they are. Because he also saved my life, and also helped me regain everything I lost. Bernard responded with a smile.
Hearing this, Sir Christian immediately nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you are more intelligent and capable than rumored. I believe that the Roldan Chamber of Commerce will be able to prosper again under your leadership. In a few days, I will have a dinner party at the manor, and you must come to it. There will be many parliamentarians, bureaucrats and important figures in the judiciary. β
"Thank you very much, it's an honor to have you invited."
Bernard bowed politely, his eyes glittering with excitement and excitement.
Because he has just restored the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce, what he lacks most at the moment is the government's connections.
In a country where bribery and bribery have long been the norm and unspoken rule, there is nothing more important than maintaining collusion between government and business.
As a successful young businessman, Bernard knew that the reason why he was not in trouble at the moment was entirely due to the intimidation of the electorate of Zuosi, the goddess of poison and pestilence.
So he is desperate to make up for this shortcoming.
After all, his vicious father, Sir Elrot, had died so hastily that he had not had time to confess the connections that the family had secretly developed over the years.
"Come on, young man. You know, there are countless families in Ascatra who envy you right now. After all, forging a friendship with a powerful deity elect and being protected by the other party is not something that anyone can enjoy. Some guys even jealously say that you must have been kissed by Timoura, the goddess of luck, when you were born. β
After these words of encouragement, Sir Christian turned and left the council.
After he was completely away, Babette couldn't help but whistle and teased, "Man, it looks like you're really going to start getting lucky."
I heard my father mention yesterday that the Council of Six seemed intent on entrusting Sir Christian.
This means that he will soon be granted a range of rights, including trade and diplomacy.
With his support, you should be able to claim the status of a senior councillor in no time.
Don't underestimate that.
With this identity, you can truly gain the respect of other families and not be treated as a junior all the time. β
"Yes! Since I got back to Askatra, I felt like I had suddenly transferred and everything went so smoothly. It seems that I did whatever it took to reach a cooperation agreement with His Excellency South, and it was the most successful investment I have ever made in my life. Bernard sighed slightly.
"By the way, when are you going to have a wedding with my sister, so that the relationship between our two families will become closer through marriage?" Babette asked with interest.
"Wait for Lord Soth to return. Also, I've been dying lately, and I don't have the time or energy to prepare for my wedding. Bernard sighed with a wry smile.
Due to the fact that the brothers and sisters who had fierce competition before died all at once, he now had to support the huge chamber of commerce alone.
Fortunately, the family has always had the habit of cultivating reserve talents, otherwise they would not have expected to recover from the chaos without half a year's effort, let alone any expansion.
Barbett shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then wait a few more months." Anyway, the wedding is just a formality. By the way, I heard that you built a Karatu-style restaurant in the Oriental Continent on the site of the Curved Neck Crane Hotel in the City Gate District? And also offer original and delicious dishes? β
"Hahahaha! That's right. But that shop doesn't belong to me, but to Lord Soth in partnership with a halfling chef. I promise, once you've eaten them, you'll fall in love with them completely. β
At the mention of this, Bernard immediately burst out laughing.
Because this restaurant has only been open for less than five days now, it has already been well received by all the nobles and wealthy merchants.
According to the report of the restaurant operation staff, the VIP members above the second floor have been lined up for a month later.
As for the lobby on the first floor, which only serves relatively cheap dishes, it is also full of seats as long as the door is opened.
Some of the more discerning guests would rather wait for an hour and a half at the door than go to another hotel or tavern to make do with it.
"Damn! So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take me to a big meal. You know, when I was a child, I was fascinated by the mystery, prosperity, wealth and food culture of the Oriental continent. β
With that, Barbett dragged Bernard by the arm, dragged him into his carriage, and then galloped straight towards the city gate.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile, inside a private room at the masked mage's headquarters.
Zelanora was sitting at the dining table, enjoying the food that his subordinates had just ordered from Zuo Si's restaurant, and asked without looking up, "I asked you to investigate the movements of the Entanglement Charm in Askatra, do you have any results?" β
"Yes, master. We have discovered a chamber of commerce and several families that have been covertly controlled by the men of the Lord of Talismans, Shangra. A young man who appeared to be twenty-five or sixteen years old got down on one knee and reported.
"Oh? What have they been up to lately? β
Zeranora uses her slender fingers to open the shell of a lobster, dips it in a secret sauce and puts the tender white meat in her mouth, feeling the deliciousness of the tongue and taste buds.
No doubt.
Ever since she tasted the dishes prepared by Halfling Chef Welby, she was completely overwhelmed by the deliciousness of the food.
Now it's not just about three meals a day, but also about adding some delicate and delicious snacks.
The young man replied cautiously, "According to our observations, the other party must be trying to establish a stable business relationship with Bernard, who is close to South. In addition, not long ago, a mysterious woman came out of their secret stronghold in the Bridge District. β
"Women?"
Zeranora's eyes flashed with a strange color.
"Yes. After tracking her all these days, we found out that she had actually joined the Emerald Society. β
The young man hurriedly told everything he knew.
Zelanora sneered with contempt, "Emerald Society? An attack in the cloudy mountains? It seems that the Entangled Talisman has not given up on the idea of absorbing Soth into the organization. By the way, what have those idiots been doing lately in the Emerald Society? β
"They seem to have the support of the elven mage in the sewers of the Woods Mall district, planning a second ambush on Soth. It is said that this time he almost came out of the nest, and even spent a lot of money to hire a black dragon that nested in the Cherimba swamp. β
"Oh? After a defeat, do they still realize what it means to be a chosen person who is favored by the gods? Zelanora raised an eyebrow in surprise.
You must know that the traces of divine power on Zuo Si's body are so obvious that anyone who has a little attempt in theology should be able to feel it.
She really couldn't imagine how those stinky fish and rotten shrimp of the Jade Association dared to hack such people again and again.
Even if you succeed by luck, aren't you afraid that the goddess of poison and plague will directly send down divine punishment?
"I think Irenikas should have taken some of the elves' unique magic skills as bargaining chips, so those people chose to take risks." The young man replied in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.
As for Joan Irenikas, an outsider with extremely terrifying spell-casting abilities, perhaps the other faction leaders of the Masked Mage Guild don't know about it for the time being, but as a servant of Zeranora, he already knows about it.
It's just that considering that this guy can be used to get rid of the leaders of several other masked mage factions at some point in the future, he didn't make any public announcements.
"Humph! What a greedy and stupid bunch. Zelanora commented with a sneer.
But soon, she changed her words again and ordered to the point: "Send someone to investigate the identity of that woman immediately, as well as her recent movements." I seriously suspect that this guy is a pawn planted by Shanglara, the Lord of Talismans, to make contact with Soth. Joining the Emerald Society is just a cover-up. β
"Don't worry. We've started using prophecy spells to monitor her every move. If there's anything wrong with her, you'll be the first to know. β
With that, the young man stood up and slowly retreated, eventually disappearing into the end of the corridor outside the room door.
When he was completely away, an undead creature with a biting chill from all over his body walked out of the cabinet where he was hiding.
It takes the form of a humanoid skeleton that seems to be encased in a thick layer of snow skin.
The snow and ice make up the skin and muscles, and the jagged chunks of crushed ice are embedded in each finger, forming razor-blade-like claws.
The skull heads above the neck had not a single trace of ice ballast, and a pitch-black flame surrounded the top of their heads like a corona, and from a distance it looked like long flowing black hair.
Any necromancer with sufficient knowledge will have no trouble identifying this as a Winter Ghost that stands at the apex of necromantic creatures, a legendary creature capable of competing with the Barlow Flame Demon.
Only a handful of powerful legendary spellcasters who have mastered the true meaning of necromancy will be able to successfully create a Winter Ghost.
"The host ......"
The Winter Ghost who came out of the cupboard stood respectfully and bowed deeply to Zeranora, who was sitting at the table enjoying her meal.
"I need you on a mission right now."
Zeranora looked up, staring at the two bits of light in the Winter Ghost's eyes.
"No problem. Please state the content of the task. β
Unlike the low-level undead who don't have much self-awareness.
Winter Oni possesses enough intellectual attributes to not only learn one or two languages, but also to make judgments based on commands.
In other words, although they do not retain their memories and personalities, they are actually very similar to lichs and vampires, and they have the ability to think independently.
Zeranora picked up a napkin and wiped the sauce from the corners of her mouth and fingers, and said in a slightly playful tone, "I need you to follow behind Soth and see how he responds to the Emerald Society's ambush." If all goes well, then you don't show up. If he's in trouble, you'll be able to do a little favor. β
"Do you need me to identify myself?"
The voice of the winter ghost seems to come from a large glacier in the far north, and people can't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"No, no. I can't reveal my identity right now, at least not until Soth's position and attitude are confirmed. Also, by the way, help me give this thing to Shod Tarovin. β
As she spoke, Zelanora tossed a delicate little box to the Winter Ghost.
After the latter caught it, he immediately turned around and activated the huge portal that stood in the room, and then disappeared without a trace.
Watching the vortex of energy in the middle of the portal dissipate, Zeranora muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "The Entanglement Talisman, Ivy Korasagran's "Sharp Teeth", and the usurpers who stole the throne of the great Shane. I swear in the name of Sean VII that sooner or later I will take back what is rightfully my own, and make you pay the price, blood and death. β
Obviously, this beautiful Moon Elf mage has long been replaced by the famous "Necromantic Emperor", the last monarch of the Kalinshan Shanchan Dynasty, Shane VII.
That's why, after the turbulent years ended, Zeranora was able to quickly climb the cast level, eventually becoming the top of the Masked Mage's Guild.
For a legendary half-lich with a spell level of LV36, this is nothing more than a restoration of his original strength, not a so-called "genius" as masked mages think.
In fact, the "women's clothing boss" Sean VII, who occupies the body of the moon elf, has long recovered to the extent that he can perform legendary magic.
But in order to better hide his identity in a low-key manner, he did not show it to anyone for the time being.
He knew very well how difficult his nemesis, Ivy Korasagran's "Sharp Teeth", and the Entanglement Talisman that currently controlled the Kalinshan, were to deal with.
Therefore, it is not reckless until you have enough power to defeat both.
Anyway, the elf body that is occupied now can live for at least a few hundred years, and after a few hundred years, it can be transformed into a lich again.
As the most powerful necromantic mage in the Faren Continent, even one of them can be omitted, and Sean VII has already completely defeated death.
Time has no meaning in his eyes.
Similarly, the primeval blue dragon Ivy Korazagran, whom he regarded as his enemy, as well as the lichs and vampires in the Talisman, are also ruthless characters who can stand tall in the long river of time.
So there's no need to be in a hurry, you can plan revenge slowly.
The Necromantic Emperor even wanted to use Zuo Si's chess piece to penetrate the inside of the entanglement talisman and gather as much information as possible about all the talisman masters.
When the time comes, provoke a big battle between the Entangled Talisman and Ivy Korasagran's "Sharp Teeth".
When both sides were defeated, he suddenly appeared again and killed all the enemies in one go, restoring the Shane Dynasty, which had been destroyed for nearly a thousand years.
β¦β¦
Zuo Si, who had just crossed the Troll Mountain far to the north, obviously didn't know that Zelanora, who had always had a good relationship with him, was actually the Necromantic Emperor Shane VII.
Right now, he was sitting in the carriage, looking out the window at the towering troll hills in the distance, and a name came to his mindβLalock, the King of Wizards.
This powerful undead lich from the days of Netharel lives in an unknown place in the mountains, living a boring life in the realm of the undead that he has created.
Unless someone takes the initiative to come to the door to find trouble, he is basically harmless.
As a traverser, Zuo Si really couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of these great arcanists who had witnessed the destruction of their civilization.
Shouldn't most normal people find a way to accumulate strength and then recreate the glory of the Nethril era?
But neither Iorum, who ushered in the golden age of Netheril's civilization, nor Larocle, the king of wizards, seemed to have the slightest interest in this.
Perhaps it was because of the relationship that had been transformed into a lich for too long, which led to its inevitable negative energy, and slowly lost its sense of belonging to the country and race, and finally became indifferent.
It is also possible that they know that with the modification of the rules of magic and the magic net by the second generation of the goddess of magic, it is destined that it is impossible for Faeron to have a magical civilization as strong as Netheriel.
In contrast, the Grand Arcanist, who is also a legacy of the Netharil era, the famous "fat house" Lich Owo of Faeron, and the lord of Nethercity who hid in the shadow plane, Teramant Tanshur, are quite interested in reviving the Nethrel civilization.
The former doesn't act like a lich at all, and even once launched a pursuit of Lyra, the elector of the goddess of magic, trying to use the artifact "Crown of Horns" to turn her into an undead form to be her bride, and almost succeeded in becoming a "minotaur" and giving Kelburn's "black staff" green.
"Soth, what are you thinking so intoxicated about?"
Isadora interrupted Zuosi's thoughts with two large, curious eyes.
Zuo Si smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "It's nothing, I just want to try to figure out what some people think." Sadly, though, I found myself too weak to understand the mindset of those legendary spellcasters. β
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side and do everything I can to help you fulfill your wishes, even if it costs me my life." Isadora said with a serious face.
"Life is precious, and it should never be discarded. Because only those who survive are qualified to talk about the future. If there ever ever been a day, I would have been slain by some more powerful being. Then I want you to escape and survive, and then find a way to get revenge, instead of impulsively sacrificing in vain. Zuo Si gently stroked the girl's long golden hair, and said earnestly.
The more time he spent together, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Isadora's mental state.
Although it seems that it has returned to normal on the surface, in fact, the character in his bones is very stubborn, and once he identifies something or someone, he will never change.
For example, in the eyes of the girl, her eldest brother is an idiot and a waste.
Even if Bernard finally took revenge and reclaimed everything that belonged to him in the most traditional and bloody way of the Ammen, he still looked down on him at all.
even completely ignored that there was such a blood relative.
Every time the siblings met, Isadora would turn a blind eye to Bernard, not even saying a word to the man when he didn't exist.
Just as the girl was about to say something, the carriage suddenly began to slow down and finally came to a complete stop.
David An, who was in charge of driving, opened the door and said straightforwardly: "Master, further on, there is an ambush set by the enemy." If you need to summon helpers, now is the perfect time. β
"Is it finally about to start? I've been excited for a few days. β
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth rose slightly, and without saying a word, he sent a message to his subordinates who had been waiting in the mage tower for many days through the [Text Message Technique].
In about ten minutes or so, he opened a portal to the mage tower on the spot through the connection of the land cards.
Next Second......
Included the little devil who was a demon pet, the orc Ritter, Alaina, the Iron Golem, Vermes, and the strange thing, as well as the super giant mutant hound that had just given birth to a dozen brood cubs, poured out from the other side of the door.
Due to the two [Mystice] levels obtained in Candlekeep, Zuosi's arcane spellcasting level has reached LV7.
So the moment the little devil appeared, he felt the close connection between the two.
He wasn't even sure if the [Spell Sharing] between the owner and the pet would take effect if he used a spell card like [God of War Possession].
If the answer is yes, then it is necessary to equip the little devil with a powerful magic weapon.
"Where is the enemy?"
Alena asked, looking around, her body exuding a belligerent aura.
"Don't worry. The enemy was in ambush on both sides of the road just a few kilometers ahead. When it gets completely dark, it's time for us to rush over and kill. β
Zuo Si gave his entourage a slightly calming look.
Hearing that there were still hours to go, Alena sat on the grass like a deflated ball, and muttered, "Damn! I hate long waits. β
But at this time, no one will pay attention to the teasing of her chaotic camp.
"I heard that there is a black dragon among the enemies this time?" Vermes asked greedily.
"That's right. If you can completely subdue or stun this creature without killing it, you can get a share of the treasure in its lair. β
Zuo Si gave a promise straightforwardly.
He is not the kind of black-hearted capitalist who just lets work and does not give benefits.
In order to motivate Vermes to exert "initiative", the benefits that should be given must be given.
"No problem, leave it to me. It's just a lowly black dragon that I slaughtered with my own hands ten years ago. β
Vermes grinned with a cruel and bloodthirsty grin.
You must know that the five-colored evil dragon does not have as many stinky rules as the metal dragon of the good camp.
Especially the arrogant and brutal Red Dragon, who may be a little more merciful to his own kind.
But when dealing with other evil dragons, he will never hesitate to kill them, and then sweep away the treasures in their lair.
"No, no, no, I don't want a dead black dragon, but a half-dead black dragon. You have to keep it right, or the treasure will be gone. Zuo Si reminded meaningfully.
You don't have to ask to know that this is going to make that black dragon into a creature card as well.
After all, he is going to become a man who collects all the creatures in the Faren Continent, and of course none of the different dragons can be left behind.
"Master, you don't have to worry about that at all. I'll take over the body at a critical moment to make sure that the black dragon doesn't die. β
The strange thing suddenly interjected through the psychic connection.
Hearing this, Vermes's face suddenly became ugly.
Because what she hates most is being forcibly deprived of control of her body.
I can only watch as a bystander, watching my body being manipulated by another consciousness.
However, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about the little rebellion of the red dragon, and pointed to the huge mutant hound that was controlled not far away and asked, "How has this guy been doing recently?" Still so violent and aggressive? β
"Yes. It seems to be in some kind of permanent rage.
As soon as the control becomes slightly weakened, it will immediately begin to attack all creatures in sight until it is torn apart, chewed, and swallowed.
With this frenzied eating, it not only gains incredible regenerative power, but it also keeps getting bigger and bigger. β
The strange thing explained in a tone that didn't show any mood swings.
"Infinite regeneration and growth? Are there any weaknesses? Like being afraid of flames and strong acids like a troll? β
Zuo Si touched his chin with an interested look.
He was really curious about what kind of mysterious space he entered when he lit the spark, which could contain such an astonishing power of the Chaos Factor.
It is estimated that the body of this behemoth has completely lost the genes of "dogs", but has completely mutated into another unknown creature.
What also puzzled Zuo Si was that he had obviously stayed in that space for so long, and even his clothes were contaminated with a large amount of chaos factors.
Why is it that the human body shape has not changed drastically, but only that there has been a regression in age?
Could it be that all this is the effect of the spark of the brigade mage?
The strange thing replied thoughtlessly: "Based on the test results, it doesn't seem to be limited in any way.
Whether it is strong acid, flame, frost, lightning, sonic waves, positive energy, negative energy and other energy attacks, they cannot prevent the rapid regeneration of their wounds.
I haven't tried instantaneous spells, though.
So it's unclear if it's going to be killed by magic like Deathfinger or Killing. β
Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, it looks like it should be a good combat power." When the night starts, try to get it to deal with monsters like trolls. By the way, what about those half-dragon cubs? Is it also as unintelligent as their mothers? β
"Nope. The half-dragon cubs are quite intelligent and only go berserk when they are extremely angry. If nothing else, the next generation will mate with other canines, and a stable group of dragonborn magical creatures will be born. The strange thing hurriedly corrected.
"Sounds like good news."
Knowing that his first attempt to cross and cultivate the "Dragon Dog" was a great success, Zuo Si's brain immediately came alive.
After all, dragons have powerful reproductive abilities that can do something from A to Z.
If you don't make good use of this, how can you be worthy of the dead Bertogas.
After returning home, he will arrange "Dragon Horse", "Totoro", "Dragon Tiger", "Dragon Bear", "Dragon Eagle", "Dragon Lion", "Dragon Elephant" and so on.
Make sure that this prime-aged red dragon has the largest number of descendants in the entire continent of Faeron.
I don't know if the creature that has been crafted into a card still retains the ability to reproduce.
If so, the two white dragons and the Oranli multi-headed dragon can also be used.
Seeing Zuo Si's terrible reaction with his eyes shining, Vermes immediately felt a chill surging from the bottom of his heart, and suddenly couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
She had seen the horrors of the goblins beneath the Mage's Tower, and she knew what a terrible soul was hidden in the body of this boy who looked like he was only ten years old.
Just when Zuo Si was camping in place and patiently waiting for dark, the ambush site a few kilometers away.
The dragon lich Barris Ryath has quietly used the Shadow Legion hidden in the darkness to complete the poisoning mission.
A whole jar of virus, bacteria, and toxin mixture that had been isolated by divine power was put into a cauldron one bite after another, and was devoured by the monsters.
Even the Emerald Society's high-level leaders and apprentices were no exception.
After all, as long as people are not dead, they must eat to supplement their nutrition to maintain their own survival needs.
The five high-level mages even felt that they were in control, so they didn't use toxin detection on the ingredients at all.
It is estimated that in their opinion, they are the ones who take the initiative to attack, and they have the absolute initiative, so they don't need to worry too much at all.
The only ones who aren't affected are probably the undead and the constructs.
Among them, the vampire, who retains the memories and wisdom of his life, is definitely the biggest threat to this ambush.
And Barris Ryath wasn't sure if the mixture of viruses, bacteria, and toxins would be able to work on the black dragon not far away.
Minutes and seconds passed.
When the sun finally set in the west, the surroundings became pitch black, and the sound of horses' hooves finally came from far and near.
It wasn't long before a horse-drawn carriage slowly appeared in the middle of the road.
"Do it!"
A high-ranking mage of the Emerald Society, after confirming that the person sitting in the carriage was Zuo Si himself, immediately sent an attack signal to the others.
Moment!
Another high-level mage who had been waiting for a long time unleashed the eight-ring magic [Dimensional Lock].
Unlike the Four Rings [Dimensional Anchor], which can only last a few minutes, the duration of this spell is calculated according to "days", and the coverage is very amazing.
Basically, once released, it means that no one can escape by teleporting until the winner is decided.
The moment when a barrier shrouded the carriage with a glowing emerald green light.
Several [Advanced Dissolving Magic] fell from the sky!
Immediately followed by fireballs, lightning, strong acid, frost and other direct damage spells flew over the sky, smashing the magic carriage presented by the two Am's six councils on the spot.
But that's not all.
A variety of charm control spells followed.
[Greasy Technique], [Spider Web Technique], [Stinky Cloud Technique], [Ava Black Tentacles], [Binding Dafa], [Order: Shock], [Domination of Humans], [Mentally Handicapped Technique], [Confusion Technique], [Deep Sleep], [Human Immobilization], etc., were smashed down as if they didn't need money.
In order to be able to successfully capture Zuo Si, the high-level leaders of this group of Jade Associations can be said to have made a bloody investment.
As soon as the spell bombardment ended, the vampires immediately controlled the trolls, goblins, bear goblins and other cannon fodder to rush up, surrounding the wreckage of the carriage.
Just as one of the high-ranking mages was expecting to see the half-dead target, a playful voice suddenly came from overhead.
"Are you looking for me?"
I saw that Zuo Si, who was supposed to be sitting in the carriage, was standing above the sky above his head at this moment with the ability of the electorate [Volley].
Obviously, he managed to deceive the enemy in the first round through the card [Real Phantom], which was also the most intense spell bombardment that he had been planning for a long time.
"Not good! Our plans are exposed! Fast! Get him out of the sky! The high-ranking mage at the head turned around and shouted at his companion.
Just as the other high-level mage was about to chant the incantation, Zuo Si suddenly took out a jar filled with unknown dust from his satchel, and then opened the lid and lifted it downward.
Before the former could react, he activated a [Wind Maker] card.
With a strong gust of wind blowing, the dust in the sky was blown in front of the high-ranking mages of the Jade Society.
Immediately following the mage who had just chanted half of the spell, he immediately felt his eyes, throat, nose, and throat itch, and he couldn't keep his spell focused at all.
After only two or three seconds, I couldn't help but start sneezing, tears, and runny nose, and at the same time it became extremely difficult to breathe.
Not only him, but all the people or monsters who accidentally inhaled the dust showed similar reactions.
Some of them were so violent that they couldn't breathe at all, and they fell to the ground and their faces were flushed, and even after drinking several bottles of [Antidote] and [Removal of Disease Elixir] in a row, there was no sign of improvement.
In this state, not to mention chanting spells and casting spells, it is quite difficult to activate even slightly more complex magic items.
"Ahem, ahem...... You...... What have you done to us? For...... Why didn't the agent work? A high-ranking mage finally panicked.
It was only at this moment that he realized what a terrible thing it was to be hostile to the elect of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.
Looking at this group of enemies who fell to the ground and struggled in pain, Zuo Si pretended to be kind and explained: "It's very simple! You guys aren't poisoned at all now. There was no plague or disease as most people think.
Or that it was poisoned before, but the toxin has been depleted and has caused irreversible changes to the body's immune system.
Of course, if you understand what the immune system is.
I just sprinkled the most ordinary pollen.
It's just a trigger, a key to triggering something called an allergic reaction.
This is a stress response that occurs in the body's immune system.
Strictly speaking, it is not a disease at all.
So the potions you drink won't do anything.
At least magic and potions like [Remove Disease] can't cure it.
Isn't it nice to be attacked by your own immune system?
Don't worry!
And that's just the beginning, and the real fun is yet to come.
You know, in order to treat you well, I have prepared several large meals. β
With that, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Syllable!
When the sound echoed in everyone's ears, the mage, who was already suffering from pollen allergies, immediately felt his trachea constrict and spasm violently.
At the same time, it is accompanied by severe symptoms such as uncontrolled severe cough, shortness of breath, dizziness and headache, fever all over the body, and chest tightness.
You don't have to ask to know that these are asthma caused by viruses.
Since it is an attack on the respiratory tract like pollen allergies, the combined power of the two is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The most important thing is that the mages of the Emerald Society had already drunk the [Antidote] and [Disease Removal Elixir] they had brought with them in a panic just now, and now they had no means of treatment when facing the real disease.
Several old mages, who were not very good in the first place, gradually became confused when their brains could not get enough oxygen.
Seeing that there were still two high-level mages who did not give up their struggles and were still trying to use magic items and props, Zuo Si immediately activated the third gift after toxins and viruses without hesitationβbacteria.
Epic fortified mutated diphtheria bacilli.
It is also a bacterium capable of causing alarming damage to the respiratory system and triggering severe inflammation.
Obviously, Zuo Si knew very well what the caster's weaknesses were, which is why he used such a set of combos that targeted the respiratory system.
First destroy the immune system with a small amount of toxins, so that it will inevitably have an allergic reaction to pollen, and by the way, trick the enemy into drinking the [Antidote] and [Disease Removal Elixir] that you carry with you.
Then a two-pronged approach was then used to control the proliferation of the asthma virus and diphtheria bacilli in a short period of time, ensuring that the mage could not chant even a single word of incantation.
And as breathing becomes more and more difficult, the hypoxic brain cannot maintain normal thinking and consciousness at all, and naturally cannot maintain the state of concentration necessary for casting spells.
It is not possible to concentrate even a second of energy to activate magic items, let alone give orders to the undead and constructs.
Unless some high-level mages wear magical items that can instantly transform them into spirits, undead, or constructs.
Otherwise, he will fall into a coma in slow suffocation, and become a lamb to the slaughter.
With his understanding and use of toxins, bacteria, and viruses, Zuo Si easily managed to deal with the five highest-level mages present, as well as a large number of low-level mages and monsters that were affected.
Although there are still a few guys in the distance who try to use fireballs, lightning spells to make long-range attacks.
But unfortunately, their cast level is obviously not high, and even the voter's ability [Protective Energy Damage] failed to penetrate, and was completely absorbed.
