Jingle Bell!

With the sound of metal weapons colliding, in the training room on the lower level of the Mage Tower, the dwarven berserker Kogan is engaged in a battle with the spotted cat hunter Abaala.

Since both parties have quite high professional ratings.

So whether it's strength, speed, or skill and experience, it's all vividly displayed in battle.

Sometimes the relationship between the two of them wielding their weapons too quickly can even produce visual afterimages in the air.

The former's fighting style is obviously very wild, and he will often abandon defense in pursuit of life for injury, causing many opponents to be frightened by his lifeless stance, and the more timid and hesitant he is, the faster he will die.

According to the description of the orc Ritter, Kogan's highest record once recklessly opened a rage and rushed into the goblin community, killing more than 30 goblins and hundreds of ordinary goblins by himself.

By the time the battle was over, the whole person seemed to be bathed in blood, and the armor was covered with blood, minced meat, internal organs, and intestines.

Many of the poor creatures were chopped up alive by the sharp magic axe and turned into corpses of various sizes.

Abala's fighting style is the opposite, he likes to look for holes in his opponent's defense, and if he doesn't shoot, he will kill him with a single blow.

So it's the kind of calm hunter that keeps its eyes on its opponent's every move, like a big cat chasing its prey.

In addition, the weapon is a metal arm guard and fist gloves with Adamantite added to it, so the speed of the arm swing is obviously a little faster than Kogan, and it is not a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.

In particular, the sharp metal claws at the front end can tear through most non-magical metal armor as easily as a can.

Once close, it is definitely one of the most dangerous enemies.

The little werewolves who were watching nearby had obviously seen this kind of high-level warrior competition for the first time, so they all widened their eyes and wanted to learn from it to increase their fighting ability.

Among them, the fighting style of the spotted cat man Abala is basically no different from their half-human, half-beast form, which is simply the most ideal learning object.

As the leader of the clan, the werewolf girl Van Gesi secretly gestured twice by herself from time to time, and the child's hole flashed with excitement.

"Where did you find him? I have never heard of such a race on the continent of Faerun. The orc Ritter asked in a whisper.

Zuo Si touched his chin and replied, "Because Abara is not the native race of the Faren Continent. However, I was a little surprised that his martial arts skills had reached this level. How's that, and how do you rate it? ”

"Quite a good fighter. If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty good at throwing weapons, right? Ritter was quick to give his own assessment.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Well, yes." Abara is a hunter, so he is also very good at throwing javelins or spears. I built it a magic javelin that automatically returns to its owner, so it can be both ranged and melee. ”

"Sounds really good. It reminds me of Kogan's throwing axe. There was once an unlucky goblin shaman who was killed on the spot by his axe that struck him in the head. Ritter sighed with a smile.

While the two were talking, the battle between the dwarf and the spotted cat man finally ended.

Kogan's axe was on Abala's neck, and Abala's claws were pressed against the dwarf's unsuspecting throat.

Just a second later, the former was the first to retract the axe and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha! It's so enjoyable! Old Kogan likes you, big. ”

"Thank you......"

The Spotted Cat Man replied in a slightly stiff lingua franca.

You don't need to ask to know that it is blessed with clever words at the moment, otherwise it can't understand what the other party is saying.

"How does it feel? Arm guards and fist gloves are still easy to use, right? Zuo Si asked with interest.

"It was amazing. It fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, which not only adds protection, but also sharpens the claws. If I live in a clan, a weapon like this alone would command the allegiance of the best hunters. Abala praised without hesitation.

Hearing the words of the spotted cat man, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied expression: "It's good if you like it." I'm going to go to the Northlands next, do any of you want to sign up? ”

"Me! Master, I'm already a pro-level warrior and ranger, and I'm sure I'll be able to help you on your journey. Vangus was the first to jump out.

Zuo Si didn't give an immediate reply, but set his eyes on the half-orc Ritter, the dwarf Kogan, and the half-human, half-scorpion Murar who usually trained these little werewolves in battle.

In the end, it was Mural who was the first to speak: "Master, Van Gus is indeed a qualified warrior and ranger. Coupled with the physical fitness bonus after the werewolf transforms, most adventurers with low professional levels are really not her opponents. If your trip isn't particularly dangerous, taking her with you to add a little more experience and experience is definitely much better than staying in the tower all day. ”

"Okay, then take you. But first, you'll have to spend a few days alone in Waterdeep, and I have a few things that need to be taken to the depths of the Leylines Maze. Zuo Si stared at the werewolf girl's eyes and said.

"No problem! I promise to obey your orders 100%. ”

Van Gers clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was about to jump for joy.

After all, as a werewolf, her nature prefers to run in open forests and fields to chase prey.

While it was safe to stay in the Mage Tower and the city, and food and lodging were guaranteed, the blood of adventure was always running through the girl's veins, as if a voice was always calling in her head.

"Go ahead and get ready. Bring all the weapons and equipment, and we'll set off in ten minutes. ”

Zuo Si smiled and flicked lightly on the werewolf girl's head.

"Yes!"

Van Gers's size swelled rapidly, thick hairs growing from the surface of his skin, and soon turned into a half-human, half-wolf appearance, raising his head and letting out a piercing howl, and then rushing towards his room as fast as he could.

You don't need to ask to know that her transformation this time is completely due to her overly excited mental state.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

The Spotted Cat Man's eyes widened in shock.

It was apparently the first time it had seen a werewolf, or rather a person infected with bestiality, so it had no idea why a human would suddenly take on the form of a wolf.

"Relax, big cat. The little ones are werewolves, a special race that can freely switch between wolf, half-human, half-wolf, and human forms. Unlike you, they are still human at heart, but they are cursed, and of course they can be said to be blessed. Old Kogan muttered as he explained.

Despite the fact that he himself is in the chaotic evil camp, bloodthirsty and brutal, he is quite friendly and respectful to those powerful warriors.

In particular, most of the spotted cat people are in the neutral camp, and there is no obvious concept of good and evil, and they are not as prone to violent conceptual conflicts as the good camp.

"Werewolves?"

Abala repeated the word on one side, an expression of interest on the furry cat's face.

As a very curious race, he can't help but want to find out what is going on once he becomes interested in something.

However, Zuo Si didn't care about Abala's reaction, but continued to ask several other subordinates: "What about you?" Is there anyone else who wants to come with me? ”

"Me, me, me!"

Alena, the pyromancer, shouted impatiently and loudly to sign up.

Seeing that this troublemaker was so positive, Zuo Si couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and questioned with a serious expression: "Are you sure?" You know, traveling with me is a ban on alcohol at all times. ”

"No problem. I swear I will never touch an alcoholic drink until I reach a safe place. Alena swore her promises.

Of course, as a person from the chaotic camp, the credibility of her words has to be marked with a big question mark.

Because maybe the current statement may be from the heart, but it will definitely regret it in a short time.

"Count me in."

The half-orc Ritter hesitated for a moment and chose to join.

After all, Gentle Township is the grave of a warrior, and he still wants to improve his fighting skills and professional level as much as possible while he is young and his body has not begun to decline.

Unlike mages, warriors can improve their perception of the magic web by staying in the tower and doing research, gaining a higher spell casting level and mastering more spells.

There's only one way they can improve their strength, and that's to fight non-stop against powerful enemies or monsters.

Seeing that the two drinking friends and adventurers had joined, the dwarven berserker did not hesitate to say, "Take me with you, too." Old Kogan's axe will help you chop in your way any enemy who dares to stand in our way. ”

"In that case, the team is settled. Hurry back and prepare, and we'll teleport directly to Waterdeep. ”

With that, Zuo Si walked straight towards the teleportation room.

Abala didn't need anything to prepare, and followed behind, looking around at the strange creatures, constructs, and magical devices around her.

Having lived entirely in the pristine rainforest, magic was a strange and unbelievable thing to it.

Occasionally, I will be startled by the magic bat that suddenly appears next to me.

But soon the spotted cat people found out that these little dots were not malicious, they were just playing pranks to make themselves happy, and they couldn't help laughing.

After about ten minutes, when everyone arrived at the teleportation room, Zuo Si immediately activated the portal and sent everyone to the basement of his house in Waterdeep.

After simply saying hello to the butler and leaving some money for his daily expenses, he immediately went to the Blackrod Tower alone to visit Kelburn.

About half an hour later, the two sat in the reception room and chatted over tea.

"I heard that half a year ago, near the forest not far from Silvermoon City in the Northlands, you used some spiked iron balls that automatically rotate and track, causing a lot of casualties to the orc army, directly causing them to be forced to disband on the spot before they could attack?"

Kyleburn brought it up with great interest.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Well, that's right. I was testing a new magic weapon, and I happened to encounter an orc army that was planning to attack Silvermoon City, so I put it to use. ”

"Can you show me those magic balls?" Kyleburn was clearly curious.

Because there has been no such thing or magic in Faerun yet.

"No problem, please wait."

Zuo Si quickly reached into his satchel and took one out of the box specially used to hold iron balls, causing it to float quietly in midair.

As a Lady of Magic's chosen one, Kyle could have effortlessly seen the arcane aura flickering on the iron ball through his own eyes, and after a brief observation, he immediately exclaimed, "It's incredible." Is this the magic you brought back from another world? It only took so little magic to make such a heavy iron ball achieve the effect of floating or even flying at high speed. ”

"Interesting, right?

Best of all, a spell lasts for a long time after a spell is cast, and it's very, very cheap.

Maybe it won't be of much use in the battle of high-level mages, but a single wall of force technique can easily intercept it.

But it couldn't be better used against ordinary armies and warriors who didn't know magic.

Even a legendary warrior can't take a head-on hit unscathed. ”

Zuo Si did not have any reservations about the merits of these "holy balls of physics".

Because this thing wasn't meant to be used against the caster, it doesn't matter if the other party knows.

If someone tries to control the orbs through spells or magic, they will immediately cast a Confusion Charm to cause the orbs to fall into a state of frenzy and uncontrollable, striking indiscriminately against friend and foe.

Kyleburne nodded approvingly, "This magic weapon is indeed very suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies and monsters who don't know magic. And I've noticed that you've given them constant shrinkage and repair spells, and no matter how much of the deformation these iron balls have after their violent impact, they can quickly recover in a short period of time. ”

"Yes. Shrinkage makes it easier to carry the orb, and it can also be instantly enlarged and reduced, making it difficult for enemies to defend against. Repair spells, on the other hand, are meant to prevent spikes and blades from deforming and breaking when they hit hard rock. With such weapons, those savage, brutal, bloodthirsty orcs will no longer be able to threaten the civilized world. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si did not hide his dislike for the orc race.

Because these green-skinned monsters who only know how to destroy and plunder, but never produce and create, have no meaning or value in his eyes.

Kelburn was keenly aware of this, and immediately reminded, "I agree with your opinion about orcs, but if you want to kill orcs on a large scale, it is better to be a little cautious.

Because the orc gods are not weak.

In fact, this unscrupulous slaughter of the orc army has already made the leaders of many large orc tribes in the Northland angry.

Not only have they sent their most powerful warriors and hunters ready to take you down, but they've also teamed up to offer huge bounties.

There are a lot of bounty hunters and opportunists out there, ready to trade your head for bounty. ”

"Oh? Sounds like a lot of fun. Can you tell me which orc tribes are bounty me? It would be nice if they had a specific range of activities. ”

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a chilling smile.

For those enemies who want their own lives, there is always only one way for him to respond, and that is to kill them all mercilessly.

"On that note, I think those bounty hunters and orc warriors and hunters should soon come to you with a duke." There was a hint of joking in Kelburn's tone.

After all, it is no secret that Zuo Si has a strong vindictive spirit among the Goddess of Magic voters.

What's more, reducing the number of Orcs in the Northland is also completely in the interests of a series of important towns in the Northlands, including Waterdeep, Silvermoon City, Neverwinter, and Long Saddle Town.

Every once in a while, the Union of Lords will come forward to hire adventurers or form an alliance to wipe out the skyrocketing number of orcs in the vicinity, and even the churches of many gods will join in.

This is also the reason why the orcs obviously have a very powerful god system behind them, but they are always on the edge and unpopular on the continent of Faerun.

Because in this world, the most powerful human gods suppress the gods that the orcs believe in, so the orcs can only survive in the harsh environment of the forest and wasteland.

If any orc god dares to descend his avatar in an attempt to change the existing pattern, then what awaits him will be a group fight from medium and powerful divine powers.

Whether it's Tyr, the god of justice, Mystra, the goddess of magic, Inmat, the god of suffering, Tom, the body of loyalty and courage, and Loshanda, the lord of the dawn, or neutral gods like Ogmar, the god of knowledge, Heim, the god of guards, and Tampas, the god of war, they all descend on the dog's head of the orc gods in battle.

Because what the orcs do is in serious conflict with the teachings and ideas of these gods.

In particular, the orc god system also has its own god of war.

If they rise and threaten human dominance, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in Tampas's influence.

So every time there is a massive invasion by orcs, Tampas, his church, and believers will inevitably actively participate.

Not to mention that the elven gods also have a deep vendetta against the orc gods.

Among them, the eyes of the orc god Geush were blinded by the elven god Ke Ruilong during the battle.

When elves and orcs meet in the wild, there is a 90% chance that they don't even need to say a word of nonsense, and they will just beat you to the death.

It was precisely because the orcs and the gods behind them had so many enemies that Zuo Si dared to slaughter them so unscrupulously without much fear of retaliation.

As long as it is not the incarnation of the gods, even if the elect of the orc lord god Guush comes, he is absolutely confident that he can kill the other party.

In this way, Zuo Si had a brief chat with Kelburn about the situation in the Northlands and the evil monsters that could not be killed no matter how much he killed, and suddenly changed the conversation and asked in a slightly playful tone: "As one of the lords of Waterdeep, what do you think of Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood?" ”

"Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood?"

Kyleburn was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something, touching the beard on his chin and tentatively, "You don't want to do anything to them, do you?" ”

"If, notice what I'm talking about, if there is a force that defeats the pirates of Luskan in a naval battle, and then attacks the city and takes it, will Waterdeep intervene?"

Zuo Si chose the open card with almost no disguise.

Of the many city-states in the Northlands, Waterdeep is undoubtedly the most powerful.

So he needs to figure out Waterdeep's attitude towards this matter before he can decide how far the war will go.

As a Lady of Magic Elect who was only a little younger than Ellerminster, Kelburn worked very closely with the Harpists League, knowing that the recently emerging Nelanthor Islands were the work of the young man in front of him.

At first, some of the Harpist's top brass feared that the pirates would become a nightmare for all merchant ships on the West Coast.

However, it was later discovered that under Zuosi's control, the pirates of the Nälancer Islands had not continued to plunder merchant ships, but had quickly established a stable ruling structure.

And in the chaotic sea of the jungle, an unprecedented order has been established.

As long as they pay a certain share of the protection fee, the merchants can do business with peace of mind without fear of being looted.

Even the pirates of Luskan and the Whalebone Islands in the north wanted to come and make a fortune, but they were beaten back mercilessly.

All pirates who surrendered and were captured, captains and backbones were often executed in public, while ordinary pirates were thrown into quarries, mines, etc. to serve hard labor.

Gradually, most of the harpists let down their initial vigilance against the new force and simply set up a base for gathering intelligence in the major port cities.

Although the large-scale use of undead as laborers has sparked some heated debate, Kelsen is generally quite satisfied with Zuosi's series of actions.

Because he feels that order is more important than justice and goodness.

Only by maintaining the most basic order will life and property be secured, and ordinary people will be able to work and support themselves and their families with peace of mind.

What's more, the civilians of the Nälancer Islands are not bad, and they have not been subjected to too much exploitation and oppression.

After all, the most dangerous and arduous work is carried out by the undead and the hard labor who has committed serious crimes.

As for the churches that are extremely disgusted with the undead......

Since the red-robed wizards of Nassell didn't have a good solution, they naturally couldn't do anything about the Nærancer Islands.

Sensing that Zuosi might be going to take action against Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood, Kelburn's first thought was the recent capture of Lotham Island by Luscan's army.

It's just that due to the pressure of the Northland Lords' Alliance, they finally had to spit out the meat that came to their mouths again.

No way, maybe it's not a big problem to bully Lotham Island and Neverwinter with the power of Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood.

But when facing a city-state like Deep Water City and Silvermoon City, which has a large number of high-level mages and even legendary mages and voters, they basically have to bow their heads and admit it.

So Waterdeep is far from being like Neverwinter, and I wish someone would hurry up and eradicate Luscan, the evil neighbor.

After thinking for a few minutes, Kelburn said, "I don't mind if Luskan had a different ruler.

The problem is that not all of Waterdeep's lords agree with me.

So I can't give you any guarantees, except to say that the chances of Waterdeep intervening are not very high.

More than that, you should be more worried about the Santarin, which works closely with the Arcane Brotherhood. ”

"Santarim will work with the Arcane Brotherhood?"

This news made Zuo Si subconsciously frown.

Although this vast dark intelligence network is currently divided, and the followers of Shirek and Bane are busy fighting for dominance, their strength should not be underestimated.

In particular, Manson, the head of the mages, and Vozol Chamberbery, the head of the church and the elect, were not easy to deal with.

"Yes. As far as I know, they have shared intelligence with each other for a long time. In addition, there are also some business dealings with the red-robed wizards. ”

Kelburn told everything he knew about Luskan in one breath.

After all, both of them are now the electors of the Goddess of Magic, and the target of the attack is evil, so it is only natural to provide some intelligence help.

"I didn't think the water in the Arcane Brotherhood was quite deep. But it doesn't matter. Whether it's the Santarin Society or the red-robed wizards, as long as they dare to intervene, I will make them regret their recklessness. ”

Obviously, Zuo Si didn't take these two evil organizations that were famous on the Faeron Continent to heart.

Because the Northlands have never been the traditional sphere of influence of the red-robed wizards, their influence here is very small, and they don't have the courage to do things under the noses of several Goddess of Magic voters.

As for the Santarin Society, as long as there is a time to ask Mansson or Ximanmeng to come out and talk and reach some secret deals, the other party should choose to stand by and watch.

You must know that the most important thing for these Bane believers at this stage has always been to fight against the erosion of the Shirek Church and prevent the Santarim Church and Santil Fort from falling into the hands of the latter.

The tense atmosphere between the two sides can be felt even by many outsiders.

"Now that you have your own plan, I won't say much. Remember, you are now the chosen people of the Goddess, there is no need to be on your own as before, and you can always come to me if you are in danger. My wife and I came to Lala and were more than happy to help. Kelburn exhorted in earnest.

Between Zuo Si's criminal record, he was very worried that the young man in front of him would do some crazy things when he was in danger, such as unreservedly releasing the terrible poisons and plagues in his body.

"Thank you very much. If there is a need, I will. Is there anything else I should be aware of? Zuo Si asked very humbly.

"Actually, I think the most important thing you should enlist is Neverwinter's support. After all, they were at the forefront of the fight against Luskan and suffered from pirate harassment. Kyleburn gave advice without thinking.

"Understood. I'll take a trip to Neverwinter later and talk to Lord Nasir. Hopefully, he'll be as wise as rumored to be able to understand the benefits of destroying the Arcane Brotherhood and transforming Luscan. ”

With that, Zuo Si got up and said goodbye and left the Black Rod Tower.

Standing at the top of the tower and watching his back fade away, Kelburn suddenly asked without looking back, "What do you think Soth wants to do?" He first consolidated the pirates of the Nälancer Islands, then expanded north to the Korins, then indirectly took control of Baldur's Gate through a naval battle, and now targeted Luskan. ”

"Hmm...... I guess I want to monopolize the maritime trade to make a lot of money. According to the harpist's scout's return, he has recently been buying up all sorts of magical materials at high prices, conservatively estimated to be worth at least millions of gold coins. Laila slowly came out of the shadows, guessing in a tone that wasn't quite sure.

"Buying millions of gold coins of magic materials? Is this time to start preparing for the study of legendary spells? Kyleburn was visibly taken aback.

"You ask me? How could I possibly know. ”

Laila smiled wryly and shook her head.

"This young man is very wary of everything around him, and he will not easily confide his thoughts to anyone.

However, his arcane spell casting level is indeed quite high, and he is only one step away from becoming a legendary mage.

It seems to make sense if it was to prepare for the study of legendary magic.

Don't forget, the goddess gave him ten Netherel scrolls. ”

"I forgot about it.

If he read all ten scrolls, he would have improved dramatically in terms of the principles of magic, especially spell recognition.

Add to that a lot of magical knowledge from other worlds, and if you were an enemy, he would already be a pretty formidable opponent. ”

Kelburn said with a serious face.

Laila smiled and agreed, "That's right. Soth was already a very powerful and dangerous top spellcaster.

In particular, he has a variety of methods, many of which have never appeared in the Faren Continent.

This can often have a surprising effect in spell duels.

Even if Manson or Sazastan came, they didn't necessarily get any bargains. ”

"It's a terrifying growth rate, almost the same as the genius Grand Arcanist Karthas who led to the demise of the Netharel civilization." Kyleburne sighed slightly. "By the way, aren't you going to represent the goddess on a trip to Harua, the southernmost mage country on the continent? How's the preparation? ”

"Almost. I have recently learned and transcribed all the new spells that the Goddess had given me. When the time comes, as long as you hand it over to the local church and meet with the elders, you should be able to accomplish the mission easily. ”

Speaking of this, Laila deliberately paused, raised the chic staff in her hand and shook it gently in front of her husband.

"It's ......"

Kelburn instantly noticed the difference in this staff.

"This is the magic technique that Soth brought back from another world. Not only does this staff reduce the amount of mana used to cast spells, allowing me to generate several more spell slots out of thin air, but it also reduces the cast speed by about a third. How, doesn't that sound amazing? ”

As he spoke, Laila handed over the staff in his hand.

Kelburn hurriedly took it over and examined it closely, and found that the wood used to make this staff was very special, and there were some materials with powerful magical powers, such as dragon tendons, mixed in the middle.

When the wielder begins to cast a spell, the entire staff will strengthen the connection to the web in a unique way, thus saving mana and speeding up the casting process.

After figuring this out, he couldn't help but ask, "All these technologies were brought back by Soth from another world?" ”

Laila nodded without hesitation: "Yes." Not only are there new techniques for making staffs, but there are also a lot of new spells that have been transformed, many of which are low-ring spells that can be used to facilitate everyday life. ”

In order to give her husband a clear idea, over the next few minutes, Lai La demonstrated a number of spells that included cooking, cleaning, and repairing.

As a result, this kind of magic that is close to life and has no lethal power at all suddenly arouses a strong curiosity in Kelburn.

The couple spent the next few days studying these interesting living magics, and began to imagine how peaceful and comfortable the world would be if they could invent them.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zuo Si.

As soon as he left the Blackrod Tower, he led his party to Waterdeep's most notorious skull harbor.

It's notorious because it's under the nose of Waterdeep, but it's completely ruled by a group of evil humans and monsters.

Far from obeying the laws of Waterdeep, they also bought and sold slaves with impunity, and conflict and murder were commonplace.

In Skull Harbor, order is something that does not exist.

The only thing that can save a visitor's life is the strength that makes other people or monsters feel jealous.

As for the Dark Elves, Mind Flayers, Eye Demons, Gray Dwarves, etc., which are very rare on the surface, they are almost flooded here.

Some evil mages who live in Waterdeep even come here every once in a while to buy some special raw materials, such as the corpses of various creatures or slaves, and bring them back to be used for necromantic magic experiments.

"Damn! This place makes me shudder. ”

Looking at the one-eyed demon and the slave it controlled, the orc Ritter couldn't help but shudder.

You must know that the moment the other party saw it, he almost picked up the axe and slashed it.

No way!

As a brute warrior who is very sensitive to malice, it is inevitable that you will be nervous in such a hostile place.

In contrast, old Kogan was completely unimpressed, pouting and sneering, "Relax, man. It's not us who should really be nervous, it's them. I can guarantee that if clashes and battles do break out, this hidden harbor will be bleeding in just a few minutes. ”

"That's right! I'll burn everything up with fire magic. ”

Alena, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, suddenly released a red flame from the palm of her hand, which immediately made many people around raise their vigilance.

"Enough! You all be honest with me. We're not here to get in trouble, but to get to the depths of the Leyline Maze as quickly as possible. ”

Zuo Si glared at the pyromancer angrily.

Because he knew that most of the reason why Skull Harbor had existed for so long was because of the acquiescence of Helast Black Robe.

Otherwise, the mad mage can completely cut off the passage between here and the bottom layer at any time by changing the structure and topography of the leyline maze.

As for the lords of Waterdeep, they didn't want to provoke Hylaste Blackrobe, so they didn't make a move.

In short, the existence of Skull Harbor is the product of a series of delicate balances and compromises.

However, Zuo Si didn't care who the true owner of Skull Harbor was, nor was he interested in the inhabitants of the underworld and the thieves' guilds.

After paying the fee of three hundred gold coins, he was given a small wooden boat that could float in an underground river, and a map that was so rudimentary that it had only a few lines.

It marks how to jump directly through the first few levels of the Leyline Labyrinth through the waterway.

Soon, under the leadership of Zuo Si, the group boarded the boat and slowly marched deeper along the underground dark river.

This time, instead of taking the route of the last time, I went around in a big circle and chose to go ashore directly on the fifth floor.

With the road they had traveled in their minds, the team reached the Crystalline Labyrinth on the sixteenth floor with little effort.

The monsters and enemies encountered along the way were basically either torn to shreds by a few powerful warriors, or stripped of life by the green light emitted by the wielding wand and turned into a pale corpse.

It was clear that Zuo Si was deliberately using these monsters to practice and familiarize himself with the Curse, and by the way, testing his magic resistance might weaken him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the sixteenth floor, Elron, who had already been notified, immediately appeared, touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply: "Master, I have arranged everything according to your instructions. Now, with your command, I can immediately put all the Gisyankees in Starport to sleep with the help of alchemical potions, even the red dragons. ”

"How many people are there in Starport right now?" Zuo Si asked casually.

"Not counting the eggs that are being hatched, and those cubs that have not yet reached adulthood, there are only about thirty people, four of them are mages, two are psychic warlocks, and the rest are basically either warriors or psychic warriors." Elon 1510 reported.

"What about the magic ship?" Zuo Si continued to ask.

"There is only one, which is currently docked at the berth in the port. However, the captain is a bit of a difficult character to deal with, and it won't be easy to get rid of him. ”

As he said this, Elon looked embarrassed.

Because in the Gisyankee society, the captain of the magic ship has a higher rank than the commander of the outpost in front of the material position, so he can't give orders to the other party.

"In that case, let's do it. Remember to take a higher dose, I don't want any fighting to expose the whole plan. As for this captain, I'll take care of him myself. ”

With Zuo Si's order, Elon immediately took advantage of his authority as the supreme commander in the Star Harbor and began to poison everyone "openly".

In less than an hour, the entire hollowed-out asteroid was filled with sleeping Gisyankees, as well as their Red Dragon allies.

As for Zuo Si, he led people directly into the magic ship docked in the starport, knocked everyone unconscious, including the captain, and made it into a summon card.

When the curtain was over, all the Gisyankees, with the exception of the underage children, became part of the inner demons and were assigned to Elron's command.

At this point, the entire Star Harbor can be regarded as completely in the hands of Zuo Si.

After taking control of Starport, the first thing he did was to disassemble the magic ship into parts and figure out the magical knowledge and principles contained in it.

You must know that if ordinary physical plane creatures want to enter the astral plane, the magic they usually use is the astral projection.

To put it simply, it is to leave the physical body in the material world, and let the spiritual body and soul with consciousness enter the astral realm and explore and travel.

But the Kisyankees are different.

They use magic ships to travel between the physical plane and the astral plane directly with spirit, body, and soul.

This also means that the magic ship must have some special powers, which can ensure?

Even warriors who don't know magic can do this.

In addition, the power system of the magic ship is also very interesting and can be used in many other places.

After figuring out all of this and initially mastering the full set of manufacturing techniques of the magic ship, Zuo Sicai reluctantly reassembled the entire ship by himself and handed it back to the captain who had become his own.

"Master, what do you need us to do next?" Elon cautiously asked.

"It's simple. Instill in those children the idea of freedom and make them understand how evil and abhorrent their own race is. I've got a pamphlet here, and you're going to follow the instructions above to turn all the children who grew up in this base into the spark that overthrows the existing system. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si handed over a thin notebook that had been prepared in advance.

"As you wish."

Elon took it, rolled his eyes about twice, and immediately agreed without thinking.

Although he is a Gisyankee himself, he is not very loyal to his own people.

Otherwise, he would not have tried to collude with foreign enemies to complete the seizure of power.

As for the others, after becoming a minion, all of them had their memories drastically altered, completely forgetting the training and brainwashing they received as children.

There is only one purpose in life, and that is to serve Zuo Si, who is a traveling mage.
