Ioma Island, the largest and most abundant freshwater resource in the Nerainsel Islands, is also the most suitable island for settlement and farming.

It was built hundreds of years ago by slaves raided by pirates, and became a small port town.

The town has a small ship repair yard, a blacksmith shop for crafting weapons and armor, a carpentry shop for processing and making planks, several taverns and inns for pirates, and warehouses for the purchase and storage of goods and various loot.

The rest consisted of small-scale plantations around the area by slaves, pirates and their families, as well as strongholds built by black marketeers who did business with pirates.

In short, the scale is not large, and there are no more than 1,000 people at the most prosperous time.

The purpose of its existence is simply to give sailors who have been soaking in the sea for a long time a place to go ashore to vent and buy drunk carnivals.

However, since Eric won the decisive naval battle and completely took control of the area around the Sea of Swords, it became the first place to be officially included in the development plan.

In just over a month, the originally dirty, cramped and dilapidated town was demolished.

In its place, there are well-planned port areas, high-end residential areas, civilian residential areas, warehouse areas, administrative areas, commercial areas, cemeteries, workshops and handicraft areas, and so on.

Now, not only has a towering lighthouse been built with the help of magic in the entire port area, but the boardwalks and supporting facilities for docking ships are almost complete.

The residential area is also dotted with houses and even has a running water and sewerage system.

The streets look exceptionally clean and tidy, a world away from the dirty, foul-smelling environment they used to be.

And all of this is the result of thousands of undead creatures who never tire of working day and night as laborers.

All the skeletons and zombies are basically the pirates who refused to surrender before, or pretended to surrender and secretly engaged in conspiracy.

Through necromantic magic, the Lich kills them and then pulls them up to compensate for the severe shortage of labor on the Nlanthor Islands.

It is foreseeable that it will not be long before a new seaport city will rise here.

In addition to building cities, some undead were sent to reclaim wasteland on a large scale and grow food and cash crops.

At present, all islands with fresh water resources are basically planted with large areas of sugarcane, wheat, rice, and some vegetables and fruits according to the climate and environment.

Standing on a high place, you can see that green shoots have grown in the large flat fields.

Due to its location and climate, the Nälancer Islands are typically tropical, with sunny and rainy weather all year round, and temperatures that never drop below 16 degrees Celsius, making them ideal for growing crops.

If nothing else, there will be a bumper harvest in three or four months.

At that time, not only will the food rations of the island's inhabitants be solved, but there will also be a surplus that can be used for trade.

Anyone who isn't an idiot will realize that the long-standing chaos and chaos in the Nellancer Islands is coming to an end. …

A new city-state and even a country will rise in this sea area and become a force to be reckoned with.

Standing on the balcony of the castle halfway up the hill, Eric looked down at the city that would be nominally his own in a short time, and asked without looking back, "How many refugees and slaves have been sent to the port today?" ”

A middle-aged man dressed like a pirate hurriedly replied, "About three hundred refugees from the Tesser Kingdom fleeing the war, and more than a hundred slaves rescued from illegal slave ships.

Among them, those who can farm and raise livestock are assigned to farms in the countryside.

The rest were left behind in the city's workshops to learn the arts.

I have to say, those mages really have two hits.

It was actually on Kokka Island that coarse salt could be eaten.

We now only need to bring back the coarse salt and then go through a few further processing processes to make the fine white salt that is free of any impurities or odors.

Seeing this kind of salt, many merchants have placed a large number of orders, and even wait for two or three months before the delivery can be completed.

In addition, the sugar factory also began to produce a large amount of white sugar, rock sugar and various fruity hard candies.

Even the residues left over from sugar extraction can be used for fermentation and brewing.

At present, half of the merchant ships in the harbor come for salt, and half for sugar.

They brought sugar cane, sugar beets, grain, poultry, and livestock from the countries of the southern Rim of the Shining Sea and the Steam Lake, and then left with them salt and sugar, creating a steady trade route.

Add to that the monopoly of the main route from the Sword Sea to the North Sword Bay, and the collection of protection fees from those passing merchant ships, and the tax alone will become quite substantial.

With the shares you hold in it, you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins even if you don't do anything for a month.

And this money will get more and more over time. ”

"Not bad! Looks like I got the bet right, didn't I? Eric pursed the corners of his mouth into a smug smile.

Although he lost direct command of the vast pirate fleet after the decisive naval battle, he was given the stable life he had always dreamed of.

There is no need to fight for your life on a dangerous sea to make a living, as was the case before.

As for the betrayed pirate companion, who had recently been purged, Vanessa sent a hired retired naval officer to retrain and reorganize the remainder.

Anyone who shows disobedience to orders during the reorganization training, or who is disgruntled and wants to fan a rebellion, will without exception be sent to Zuosi's Mage Tower to receive the "probation (brain modification)" of strange objects.

When they come back, they will all become stupid, completely incapable of thinking, and become obedient puppets.

Especially like orcs, ogres, gnolls, bear goblins, and minotaurs, these chaotic and evil monsters, there is basically no fish that slips through the net.

In contrast, the wicked and orderly goblins have become captains or first mates one by one by offering their loyalty. …

Combined with the human officers recruited from the Tesser Kingdom, the originally chaotic pirates have been transformed into a powerful navy with discipline.

At the moment, the military power of the newly formed regime in the Nélanthel Islands is almost entirely in the hands of the lichs of the Arcane Secret Society.

However, the middle-aged man in the dress obviously didn't know this, and hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile and responded: "Of course! All this prosperity and order is thanks to your wise decision. On behalf of the merchants who made their living on this maritime trade route, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you. ”

Eric sneered and waved his hand, "Excuse yourself from boring compliments." Did the person I asked you to find find found it? ”

"Yes. Based on the clues you provided, we found two targets that match very well in terms of age and appearance, in Dalauma on the banks of the Iss River. If nothing else, they should be the mistresses and daughters hidden by Harlett. The middle-aged man reported cautiously.

"Excellent! Help me get both of them over. It doesn't matter if it's kidnapping or cheating. Anyway, I'm going to see them in the city in two months. If you can do that, I'll appoint you as mayor of the city. But if you can't, then don't appear in front of me again. ”

When he said this, Eric did not hide his naked desire in the slightest.

For he longed to vent all the pressure that Harlet had been under when he rode on his head in the first place, in this extremely twisted and morbid way.

"As you wish!"

Knowing that as long as he does this, he can become a powerful person in this emerging city, and the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a light called ambition.

As a merchant with a keen sense of smell, he could already foresee that Eric, who controlled the Nrainsel Islands, the Racing Strait, and the Korin Islands in the north, would sooner or later become the unrivaled overlord of this sea, so he came from the far south of the city of Arrivan to take refuge.

If he becomes mayor, he and his family will be able to establish themselves on the island and become part of the ruling class of this new force.

Obtaining a title of nobility in the future is simply just around the corner.

Watching the merchant leave the castle, Eric immediately turned to the secret room on the top floor, and bowed deeply to Vanessa, who was a lich, with one hand on his chest.

"Master, with that magical chart you made, the fleet has basically controlled the movement of all ships on the west coast of the entire Faren continent. So far, not a single merchant ship has escaped our eyes. Do you think it's time to start the second step of the plan? ”

"Hmmm! It's also time. Inform all fleets that any ship wishing to dock at or exit Baldur's Gate will be charged three times the conservation fee. As for the reason, it is to declare that Baldur's Gate is an evil city-state like Luskan. We are on the side of justice in imposing trade sanctions on them. ”

Vanessa nodded bluntly in agreement, and casually made up a reason.

"Positive...... Justice? Trade sanctions? ”

Hearing these unheard of new terms, the corners of Eric's mouth twitched uncontrollably. …

He really couldn't think of anything about himself, who was born as a pirate, and those peers who were almost also pirates, could be related to the word "justice".

As for the so-called "trade sanctions", although he knows every word, he can't understand it at all.

Looking at this pirate leader, who has been very obedient recently, Vanessa said meaningfully: "No matter what you do, you must first put yourself on the side of justice, and then stand on the moral high ground to accuse your opponent of evil. This is the most commonly used means of political struggle. If you want to become the king of the Nélanthel Islands, it's best to learn a little. Otherwise, it will be difficult to sit in this position. ”

"Damn! Looks like I'm going to have to get a teacher for myself. A wry smile appeared on Eric's face.

You must know that when he first learned to read and write in the lingua franca, he spent almost a whole year.

But for the sake of his future power and status, this guy finally made up his mind, and after he returned, he sent someone to spend a lot of money to hire a court scholar to teach him how to be a qualified king.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Eric quickly left the castle and sent the latest instructions to the captains of the fleet cruising the seas through the latest magic items, one by one.

And that's not all!

He also concentrated his most combat-ready ships at the junction of Sword Bay and the Sea of Sword, ready for a possible counterattack from Baldur's Gate.

After all, although this port city does not have a very strong professional navy, the merchant ships can still pull dozens or even hundreds.

If those stupid dukes wanted to fight a naval battle, Eric would simply sink or capture all the opposing ships.

Announce to all the port cities in the surrounding waters with practical actions that he is the well-deserved king of this sea area.

Not long after the pirate leader left, a young man who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old also came to Vanessa's room and performed a standard mage salute: "Mentor. In accordance with your request, I have completed the formation of the ruling apparatus and bureaucracy of the city at my feet. ”

"Well done. You are the best of all the schools I have ever taught. Vanessa complimented with satisfaction.

"I'm ashamed. I've been studying magic for twelve years, but I'm still only a level 7 mage. But I'm a little curious, why did you and Master Geoffrey suddenly meddle in the affairs of the Nrainthor Islands? The young man asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, it's simple. The study of advanced magical knowledge and skill requires a lot of money. To control this area is to control the most important maritime trade route in the southern part of the West Coast. If all goes well, Jeffrey and I won't have to worry about research funding in the future. Vanessa explained half-truthfully.

Although he would love to tell this most beloved disciple the truth, and then invite him to join the organization as a core member.

However, considering that the transformation of the Lich must also reach a minimum of lv11 casting level, it still has to be abandoned for the time being.

What's more, the other party is still so young, and it is very likely that he will refuse because of his lust for worldly desires. …

But it doesn't matter.

In a few decades, the young and strong body will begin to slowly age, and the whole person will gradually lose energy, and then you will be able to feel the benefits of being a lich.

"I see!" The young man nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, I have one more piece of news to report to you. It is said that in recent times, someone has seen ghost ships haunting the area of the last sea battle. ”

"Ghost ship?" Vanessa frowned subconsciously.

As a necromancer, he is well aware of the legends about ghost ships in most seas, just stories made up by drunken sailors to scare people.

But to remove the false information, some ghost ships are real.

Some of them are captains and sailors who are unwilling to die, and they are transformed into skeletons or zombies with bodies in places where negative energy gathers, and some are transformed into virtual undead creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits.

The former is fine, as long as a few fireballs blast up and sink it, the ghost ship will naturally disappear.

But if it's the latter, it's going to be a lot of trouble.

The reason is simple!

When the soul attaches itself to the hull of a ship, they use a variety of things to repair the broken ship, giving it terrifying destructive powers.

Some banshees that are strong enough can even simulate the [Banshee's Howl] of the Nine Rings.

With a single voice, it can kill a large area of living creatures around it in an instant.

The young man replied with a serious expression: "That's right, it's the ghost ship. I personally went to the waters to reconnoiter and found that there was negative energy remaining. In other words, if nothing else, the ghost ship is real. ”

"Okay, I see. Yes, this is your reward for completing this mission. ”

With that, Vanessa tossed a few scrolls and a book to his apprentice.

"Thank you very much!"

The young man hurriedly caught it and turned away happily.

Since you can earn contribution points by completing the corresponding tasks, and then choose what you need to redeem in the list of rewards, the apprentices who are sent over are full of energy.

After all, compared with the fact that everything can be learned is decided by the tutor, this change of "clear price" is obviously more in line with the appetite of young people.

Similarly, the Lich found that with this easy-to-understand form of motivation, it only took a small amount of effort to increase the motivation of their apprentices to work and learn.

As a result, they have expanded their recruitment, and even some "wild mages" have been attracted to them, and they have unknowingly become peripheral members of the organization.

However, the news of the ghost ship did not make Vanessa too concerned.

His most important task at this stage is to make the dukes of Baldur's Gate, who have publicly humiliated Zuosi, pay a terrible price for it.

The economic blow is just the beginning, and it will be followed by a whole set of combination punches.

With Vanessa's vengeful character, this revenge cannot be finished if it does not completely destroy the development potential of Baldur's Gate.

……

Meanwhile, far underground in the Ascal Mage Tower, the capital of Am.

Thousands of goblins in werewolf form wield pickaxes, shovels, and hoes to carve out caves and tunnels in places that had already been excavated by the diggers. …

Three goblins who had also turned into werewolves kept whipping those who tried to be lazy and slippery.

After a long period of excavation, an intricate labyrinth structure has formed under the mage tower of Zuosi.

In some larger areas, a large number of mushrooms and mosses have been cultivated.

Torches with an inextinguishable flame attached to the ceiling overhead provide the latter with the small amount of light necessary to grow.

In addition, there are also some creatures from the dark region that specialize in the Loomon, which is actually a kind of cattle that can survive in the dark.

The milk of this creature is made into cheese, the meat can be eaten, and the bones, leather, and hair all have their own uses, and they belong to the most common domestic animals of all intelligent races in the dark regions.

Through the secret channels provided by the Shadow Thieves, the Mage Tower spent money to purchase a batch of milk, which was used as a means of replenishing nutrition and calcium for the goblins.

In particular, goblins who have been manually selected for high obedience, as well as their offspring, can get a cup of fresh milk every day.

Over time, it can be clearly seen that the latter's height and body shape have become a circle larger than their peers.

Instead of doing heavy manual labor with a very high casualty rate, they have been trained to become warriors and assist the goblins in the strict management of this sizable goblin colony.

Every day, a dozen of the least efficient goblins are singled out, their brains eaten by strange creatures, and then their bodies are thrown into the pit dug by the diggers in public, where the other goblins watch them being torn to shreds.

As for those who die from overwork and accidents, they will be directly resurrected as zombies, controlled by the [Scroll of the Undead], and continue to do the tasks they did not complete in their lifetimes.

Currently, the number of goblin zombies is almost the same as that of goblins.

So there is no need to worry that the latter will riot because it can't stand it.

If they dare to do so, then the result will only be a brutal massacre.

More dead goblins will be transformed into low-level zombies, and that's it.

Looking at the busy scene of this group of little monsters, Vermes couldn't help but smile and commented: "I have to admit that when it comes to ruling and oppressing slaves, Soth does have a talent that no one else can match. He always knew how to make the most of the resources at hand, even after the death of a slave, and still create a steady stream of value. ”

"No, you're wrong. In the eyes of their masters, creatures like goblins, orcs, and kobolds are not human beings at all, so they are treated with another standard. Goblins are not strictly classified as slaves, but as domestic animals and tools. The strange thing corrected through a psychic connection.

"Tools?"

Vermes had a look of surprise on his face.

The strange thing replied thoughtlessly, "That's right. It's a tool. A living tool.

The owner does not deliberately abuse or torture them, but they also do not have any feelings for them.

The workload of each goblin is arranged according to the upper limit of its physical strength. …

This is a precise calculation in a state of absolute sanity.

As for those who don't survive to die, it's like tools that wear out after a long period of use, and eventually inevitably break. ”

"What if there are sacrifices or shamans in one of them? Goblins have their own gods. Vermes asked with interest.

It is important to know that in Pheren, there is a certain risk of enslaving a certain race for a long time and in large quantities.

Because their desperate prayers will be heard by God.

And God will give those who have priesthood magic and encourage them to take the lead in rebellion.

But the strange thing said in a tone full of disdain: "Goblin gods? The guards and suspicions within them are just like those of the chaotic goblins. Moreover, the incarnation of the main god Magnubiye, who has been killed by adventurers more than once, is afraid to leave his own territory from the bottom of his heart. I don't think he dared to provoke his master for the sake of a bunch of goblins. ”

"Hahahaha! That's right! Their god was cowardly and cowardly, and there was nothing to fear. Vermes laughed and uttered a naked, undisguised mockery.

Although the level of divine power is one of the important criteria to measure the strength of a god.

But the battle between gods and gods is very complicated.

The combat power of many weak divine powers is not less than that of those powerful divine powers.

One of the most typical examples is Tiamat and Bahamut, the opposing dragon gods of good and evil.

They are all weak gods, and their influence on the material world is also very weak, but none of them have medium or strong divine power to boast that they can win two dragon gods in a one-on-one duel.

In the same way, although the goblin god Magnubiye is a powerful divine power, the strength and ability of his incarnation are really not worth mentioning.

In the Faeron Continent alone, the number of recorded kills exceeded hundreds.

Even many high-level spellcasters and warriors have killed the incarnation of this god at one time.

Many adventurers who defeated or even killed Magnubie's avatar didn't know that they had inadvertently destroyed the avatar of a god, but instead mistook it for a mutated powerful goblin-like creature.

It's like throwing "God" home.

So Magnubier rarely chooses to incarnate in the material world.

Otherwise, with the defense power and the people left behind by the Mage Tower, he could kill his avatar more than a dozen times in a minute.

It can even be said that among the incarnations that many gods have descended, there is no weaker than the goblin gods.

Just as the strange thing was about to say something through the psychic connection, a wind demon bat suddenly swooped down from the passage leading to the upper level, and said in a very fast tone, "No! Oh no! The dark elf is gone! ”

"What? It's gone? How can it be! She's wearing a reinforced slavery collar! ”

Vermes jerked his head up, exuding a chilling aura all over his body.

"Not only did that drow stealthily wear off the slave collar around his neck with a wire saw that he didn't know where he got it. And pretended to deliver food to deceive the mage tower monitor, and rushed directly into the sewers leading to Askatra. ”…

The Wind Demon Bat hurriedly told everything he knew.

It didn't want to be killed by the terrifying red dragon in front of it with a breath of flame.

"That guy must have escaped the slavery collar with willpower and the magic resistance of his skin, and then disguised himself as if he was still under control and looked for an opportunity to escape."

The strange thing quickly analyzed the whole thing.

Because whether it was the wire saw that could cut through the slave collar, the time to deliver the meal, and the route of escape, it was obvious that it was carefully and carefully planned.

Coupled with the intricate and monster-filled sewers of Ascatla, it's basically impossible to chase now.

"What are we going to do now?"

Vermes asked in a tone of uncertainty.

She likes to be clean, but she doesn't want to go through the stinky tunnel.

The strange thing thought for a moment, and quickly responded, "Send a notice to the shadow thief first, and ask them to help keep an eye on it." Let's wait for the rest to come back. Anyway, it's just an insignificant captive, and I don't know any secrets. ”

However, what the red dragon and the strange thing didn't know was that the fleeing dark elves panicked and fled directly from the underground of the mage tower to the area near the cemetery.

As a result, he was caught by two vampires who had only recently transformed, and unsurprisingly sent to their queen.

"A drow from the Shadows? Interesting! ”

The corners of Badi's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Ever since she took over the crypt as a secret stronghold, she has been quietly replenishing her vampire population.

Although the more than forty that had been transformed before had all died under Zuo Si's sword, they were now slowly replenished.

"Let go of me! I command you to let me go! ”

The female dark elves shouted loudly in the language unique to their own race.

If it were another surface race, it would not be easy to understand these words.

An elf in his own right, and a fairly knowledgeable mage before becoming a vampire, Koba Di not only understood what the other party was saying, but also asked in the same language, "Tell me your name, an evil distant relative from the underworld." ”

"What! You...... Can you understand the Dark Elves? ”

A look of shock and surprise appeared on the face of the female drow.

You must know that she has been on the surface for so long, and this is the first time she has met someone who can understand what she is saying.

"Of course! Your language is not that difficult to learn. What's more, 10,000 years ago, we used the same language. ”

Badi began to circle around each other with graceful steps, and his two reddish eyes never left the major artery in his neck.

Unlike the calm and sane Irenikas, she quickly became obsessed with the pleasure of bloodthirsty indulgence after becoming a vampire.

Now Badi has long forgotten that he is a spellcaster, and prefers to crush enemies with his extremely strong body and spell-like abilities when fighting, and then bite down on the neck to suck all the blood from the target's body.

The dark elves, who grew up in a very dangerous environment, undoubtedly noticed the vampire queen's unintentional release, and the nerves and muscles in the whole body immediately tensed, and cautiously probed: "How do you want to let me go?" ”…

"Spare you? Hahahaha! Sorry, that's not possible. I've long wanted to taste the blood of the dark elves, and the taste is different from that of the surface elves. But don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. On the contrary, I will transform you into my own servant. ”

With that, Badi suddenly stretched out his right hand at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, and directly grabbed the other party's neck.

Suppressed by the vampire queen's powerful power, this poor dark elf had no room for resistance at all.

Easily pinned against the wall, watching as the two fangs plunged deep into the arteries in his neck.

Shortly after, she was completely unconscious and fell into a coma.

After drinking the blood, Badi quickly smiled with great satisfaction, pointed to the dry corpse on the ground and said, "Go, throw this guy into the pool of blood, let her draw strength and be reborn in a new attitude." ”

"As you wish, Queen."

A newborn vampire hurriedly bent down and bowed, then dragged the corpse of the dark elf towards the base deep in the tomb.

When he had gone completely, another servant asked in a low voice, "Master, why did you leave this drow behind?" Her race and skin color are too conspicuous in the surface world to be one of us. ”

"Didn't you notice where she escaped from?" Badi asked meaningfully.

The vampire servant lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then immediately exclaimed, "It's that mage tower!" She escaped from the Mage's Tower! ”

"That's right! I think the dark elf must know a lot of secrets about the mage tower and its owner. Even if you don't know, it doesn't matter, you can still use it as a bargaining chip. Irenikas is very interested in the electors of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease. ”

Bardy stuck out her tongue and licked the remaining blood from her lips, then turned and disappeared into the darkness deep in the tomb.

……

On the other side, far away in the vast labyrinth beneath Waterdeep.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other three members of the adventure team were asleep, Zuo Si secretly took the Dragonborn Knight to find the lair of the green dragon on the fifth layer.

Looking at the deep pool formed by the impact of the waterfall in front of him, he immediately said without looking back, "It should be here." ”

"Here? What do you mean...... The green dragon's lair is underwater! Davian's mouth grew in surprise.

"Pretty unexpected, right? According to the Shadow Legion, there is a very large cavern hidden underneath. Green dragons usually live in caves, and only emerge from underwater when they go out to forage. Let's go, we don't have much time, so let's get this dragon done sooner, and we might as well finish and go back sooner. ”

Zuo Si jumped into the pool and began to dive.

Davidian took a deep breath and jumped right behind.

The two of them dived more than 50 meters into the deep pool, and finally saw the entrance directly below the waterfall.

After swimming some distance along the dark waters where they couldn't see their fingers, they surfaced and entered a large underground cavern.

Through the [Dark Vision] blessed in advance, Zuo Si saw at a glance the huge figure lying in the open space dozens of meters away. …

Despite its size, the green dragon is not as large, strong, and full of strength as the red dragon.

But their bodies are slender and streamlined, with a single horn erected above the nose, which looks unusually sharp.

As it was sleeping, the green dragon didn't seem to be defenseless, and it was a good time to sneak attack.

But Zuo Si knew that the green dragon could almost be said to be the most insidious and cunning of the five-colored evil dragons, so he carefully observed the surroundings with the help of [True Knowledge].

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Around the clearing where the green dragon rested, there were as many as six traps alone.

On top of that, there are two magic alerts that trigger whenever you get close, and a large number of vines that can be turned into ropes to entangle enemies with a little control.

Obviously, even in the hidden cave located at the bottom of the waterfall, the green dragon in front of him did not forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

But unfortunately, all these arrangements are of no use to Zuo Si now.

From the body length of nearly fourteen meters, it can be roughly judged that the green dragon in front of him should be in the prime of life, belonging to the kind of unlucky person who was captured by the "mad mage" Helast Black Robe and forcibly imprisoned in the leyline maze.

In other words, none of the dragons in the Leylines Maze, good or evil, are voluntary.

Without any hesitation!

After confirming that there was no second threat in the cave except for the green dragon, Zuo Si directly took out four "Spell Strength - Fireball Technique" cards, aimed at the opponent's wings and activated them instantly.

Next Second......

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The dazzling white light of the fire instantly illuminated the dark cavern as if it were day.

The sound of violent explosions and heat waves enveloped the green dragon in an instant.

"Ahh!!!!!hh

The terrifying damage inflicted by the high-temperature flames directly woke the green dragon from its sleep and let out a miserable scream.

Then, like crazy, he tried to rush into the water to cool his charred body and scales.

It's a pity that he just hit the [Force Wall Technique] halfway through.

Bang!

Click!

Without any buffer, the green dragon's head directly collided violently with the invisible wall of force, and its slender neck instantly folded into ninety degrees, and then fell straight to the ground and twitched non-stop.

You don't need to ask to know that this time eighty percent was because he rushed too hard, and he broke his neck.

The phantom shadows that had been lying in ambush around them immediately swarmed up, and quickly drained the green dragon's power by touching, causing its eyes to turn black and faint, completely turning into a lamb to the slaughter with no ability to resist.

Without saying a word, he extracted mana and made it into a lv6 creature card, and then said with a smile: "It's much easier than I thought."

It seems that defeating and capturing ordinary adult or even prime-age dragons is not a difficult task for me.

No wonder some people always say that in this universe full of endless planes and crystal walls, only the truly strong can be unrestrained.

It is rumored that some legendary powerhouses who are afraid of even the Abyss Lord can even use the Succubus Queen Mecansut's territory on the 570th floor of the Bottomless Abyss "Shendi Lavel" as an ordinary kiln, and if necessary, they will solve their physiological problems, and after solving them, they will directly lift their pants and leave. ”…

"Wander around the Succubus Queen's territory as a kiln?" Davidian's mouth grew in disbelief.

"That's right! This is the privilege of the strong. One day, we will be able to reach that level as well. Don't worry, when that day really comes, I will definitely choose to take you with me. Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.

The Dragonborn Knight nodded with a smile: "Thank you very much." I really wanted to see what it was like to be a place that was said to be able to satisfy all desires. ”

"It's not just you, I'm actually quite curious. Whether it's Hell, the Abyss, the Heavenly Mountain, the Machine Realm, the Elysium Realm, the Wasteland of Destruction and Despair, the Aether Plane, the Astral Plane, or the City of Ten Thousand Gates that connects the entire multiverse, the City of Imprints, we all have to go to it sooner or later. Zuo Si said ambitiously.

He was quite interested in these outer planes, which had all sorts of interesting rules.

But it's too early to talk about that.

After all, the outer plane is much more dangerous than the material plane.

"That's right, master. What about the black dragon that you put back to carry the treasure? He didn't seem to have flown back. Davidian suddenly remembered this and asked casually.

"Don't worry, he's already stored his treasure in the secret base of the Emerald Society. Right now, lurking near the swamp, looking for the nests of other black dragons around. Later, when we find a time, we will go and rob the black dragon who lives nearby. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si found the hidden treasure of the green dragon in the most inconspicuous corner of the dragon's lair.

Just a bunch of variegated gems that don't look very valuable, to be exact, and a few magical items.

After a simple identification, it was found that there is a +3 scimitar - [Forest Blade], which can unleash [Entanglement] when it hits an enemy, making its whole body entangled in strong grass and vines unable to move.

A pair of druid-specific bracers can not only increase two additional perception attributes, but also release [Enchanting Animal] three times a day and one [Level 3 Natural Ally Summoning].

A small box that can make ten [Divine Berries] per day.
