Grey skies, decaying air, and a chilling negative energy in the environment......

When Zuo Si reappeared in the tower of Plantia Floating City through the portal, he immediately felt a strong physical and psychological discomfort.

It was clear that it had become a realm of the undead, and was rejecting him as the only living man.

Through the windows, you can vaguely see that the streets outside are no longer as chaotic as they were when they fled, and the streets are full of low-level zombies and skeletons wandering aimlessly.

Quite the opposite!

With the corpses of those powerful spellcasters being eroded by negative energy and transformed into higher-level undead creatures, the entire floating city has been divided into large and small "territories", each of which is ruled by an undead lord.

Possessing a high level of intelligence, they not only occupy the very valuable mage towers, but also use their magical powers to transform the place into more and more habitable for the dead.

The fog that hangs overhead, completely blocking out the sun, is the best proof of this.

What's even more terrifying is that the mutated viruses and bacteria that accidentally spread at the beginning have not disappeared, but have formed an incredibly long-term symbiotic relationship with these undead creatures.

Some of the large undead creatures formed by the gathering of many corpses even grew stenching rotting cysts.

If anyone accidentally punctures these things, they will be infected by the black and yellowish mucus inside and die quickly in a matter of minutes.

Looking at this apocalyptic scene in front of him, Vanessa, who was a lich, couldn't help but gasp and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Excellency, this floating city was destroyed by you with the plague?"

"Strictly speaking, it's just a serious consequence of an accident. And not only the Floating City of Plantia, but also several other floating cities and the cities and villages of the continent below have almost been completely destroyed under the raging plague." Zuo Si explained helplessly.

"It's unimaginably terrifying and destructive." Jeffrey couldn't help but sigh along.

At this moment, he finally realized why the Imaska Empire, which had such powerful magical skills, would eventually collapse due to the outbreak of the plague, and could only open the interdimensional portal to plunder slaves in another world to supplement its population.

Without God's help, ordinary people are basically powerless to deal with such a crisis.

The mass death of the population under the ravages of the plague will have an unimaginable impact on the entire national and social fabric.

What's more, no matter what kind of magical civilization it is, it must have a huge bottom population as economic support.

Otherwise, the whole society will cease to function, and a series of serious problems will arise, such as extreme scarcity of materials.

In the end, even if those high-level mages survived, they would not be able to complete the reconstruction of civilization.

Because the foundation of civilization is first and foremost man.

If there are no people, what kind of civilization will we talk about, what will we talk about studying the mysteries of magic?

In fact, when Zuo Si fled, there were still some survivors in the floating city of Plantia.

By now, though, they'd be pretty much dead.

Except for the central tower, which is protected by the most powerful magical power, the other ordinary mage towers have been attacked by the undead one after another, turning them into lairs where the lords are entrenched.

Looking into the distance, it is very clear that most of the knights who used to patrol the streets on horses to maintain order are now Skeleton Knights, or more advanced Death Knights.

The magic weapons in their hands have been covered with a dark color under the erosion of negative energy, obviously with a curse effect.

"How many people did this floating city have before it was destroyed?" Vanessa raised a question that was of paramount concern to him.

Zuo Si immediately replied, "About fifteen thousand mages, and more than 100,000 servants, slaves, and dependents. In particular, slaves and some of them who were captured for experimentation

There is no way to count how many creatures there are. The first thing we're going to do is clear this mage tower and then take control of it as a base to move forward."

"No problem. I'll take care of that."

"And me."

The other two lichs immediately took on the task.

It was undoubtedly very attractive for them to explore this otherworldly mage tower and figure out the differences in its internal structure and design concept.

Soon, the two lichs took six steel golems and more than fifty large undead creatures made from corpses and began cleaning up the tower from top to bottom.

Since the gate has been breached, all areas of the tower are filled with the undead who have poured in.

Some of them have developed self-awareness and intelligence, and are trying to transform and control this place as their own territory.

In particular, a high-level mage-turned-undead spellcaster even broke out into a fierce spell confrontation with two lichs.

It took a lot of work for the former to get it done.

The aftermath of the battle destroyed everything in the room, even the precious instruments and research notes on the table.

After dealing with this guy who is suspected of being a "lord", the remaining low-level undead creatures will naturally not be able to make any waves.

Soon they were either destroyed or turned into slaves under the control of the Scroll of the Undead.

When all potential threats were gone, Zuosi activated the defense mechanism of the Mage Tower through the core controller.

Moment!

The entrance that was open one second is resealed the next under the influence of magical power.

At the same time, the top of the tower once again shimmered faintly.

Several dormant cleaning structures woke up to do their duty, dumping the messy limbs and arms of the various rooms, hallways, and stairs into the basement dedicated to cleaning up the garbage, and then attempting to repair the damaged areas.

Since they are not designed for combat, they do not react to intruders in any way.

The rest of the lich took over the library as soon as possible, packing up all the books and notes inside, leaving not even a piece of paper.

After doing all this, Zuo Si created a three-dimensional map of the Floating City out of thin air with the help of illusion magic, and introduced it to all his subordinates, "The Floating City of Plantia is the pinnacle of the magical civilization of this world. Unlike the Floating City of Netheril's time, it is powered not by the ubiquitous web of magic or primordial magical energy, but by the planet beneath our feet itself."

"The planet itself?" Tyrantiel's eyes lit up slightly.

Zuo Si nodded lightly: "That's right, it's the planet itself.

There was once a very powerful mage who was good at earth elemental magic, and when he was exploring the depths of the earth's core, he stumbled upon a crystal with a unique structure like obsidian.

Some of them are the size of a fist, while others are the size of a house.

These gems seem to be very closely related to the magical energy flowing in the leylines, so they are called the "Leyline Hearts".

After a long period of research, the mage found that these stones seemed to be able to continuously draw energy from the leylines, and also gave the wielder the ability to manipulate gravity, so they were also called [Power Stones] or [Gravity Stones].

Since the early batch of [Leyline Hearts] mined was generally not large, in the beginning, mages only used them to make some flying machines, mage towers and magic fortresses that could float in the sky.

It wasn't until one day that a super [Leyline Heart] with a diameter of more than twenty meters was discovered, and the crazy idea of building a floating city was put forward by another high-level mage.

Therefore, the core of every floating city in this world is the giant [Heart of the Leylines] buried under the central tower.

It is both a source of energy for the entire city and a powerful weapon.

Whoever masters it is equivalent to mastering gravity, and can easily lift tens of tons or hundreds of tons of huge stones to a height of thousands of meters, and then throw them down to the designated location.

In the face of this power, all resistance seems so pale and powerless.

With the establishment of the first Floating City, the Mage Council quickly conquered the continent, slaughtering all those who rebelled through brutal suppression.

Under the order they have established, only the caster is the highest level of existence, and the rest are basically either servants or slaves.

Because the power of the Floating City is so amazing, in the next few hundred years, the Mage Council will frantically search for those [Leyline Hearts] that are large enough, and build several other Floating Cities.

Therefore, the first goal of capturing Plantia Floating City is to capture the Central Tower and ensure that the Heart of the Leylines is under our control."

"Can I use flying magic or teleportation magic?" Geoffrey asked in a tone of uncertainty as he stared at the three-dimensional view of the floating city.

Obviously, with the mage tower they were currently on was located on a floating island on the edge of the city, it would obviously be very time-consuming and laborious to kill them all the way.

So it's best to be able to avoid the undead.

But Zuo Si did not hesitate to give a negative answer: "Impossible. Teleportation magic had been completely banned long before the blockade was in effect. Even if I could forcibly tear a gap, I wouldn't be able to ensure the accuracy and stability of the delivery. In the same way, whether it's magic or some other form of flight, as long as your feet don't step on the ground, you will immediately be captured and pulled down by the powerful force of gravity."

"Damn! That's a problem." Jeffrey couldn't help but whisper a complaint.

For mages, not being able to fly and teleport means losing a huge advantage, and they are forced to go toe-to-toe with undead creatures outside who don't know how many.

"From here to the central tower, there are almost sixty mage towers, each of which must be in our hands to ensure safety. It looks like it's going to be a very tough and long battle." Vanessa touched her chin and gave her judgment.

Tyrantiel nodded approvingly, "yes. With teleportation and flying magic completely banned, ensuring that the rear roads are clear is the most basic military common sense. But are the constructs and undead creatures we brought with us enough to sustain this high level of combat exertion?"

"If there really are more than 100,000 undead in the Floating City, and there are at least a thousand spellcasters with self-awareness and wisdom among them, I'm afraid that it will be exhausted by about two-thirds of the way through. However, since this is a floating city, there must be a considerable amount of supplies stored. We can use these materials to make more and more cheap constructs to compensate."

As he said this, Vanessa raised his head and looked at Zuosi.

Because only he knew which buildings were stacked with materials that could be used to make steel golems, stone golems, and clay golems.

However, Zuo Si did not rush to mark the location of the various spellcasting material warehouses on the projected map, but lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, quickly shaping another port city located on the ground far away from the floating city, and then said, "I think it is too dangerous to rashly attack the central tower without figuring out the specific situation of the city at the moment, especially whether there is a subordinate relationship between those undead lords. In contrast, I think it's better to take Hull as a logistical supply point first."

"Is there any value in this city?" Jeffrey asked, puzzled.

"Before the outbreak of the plague, everything destined for the floating city of Plantia passed through this place, and it is arguably one of the most important transportation hubs on the ground. Moreover, since the Central Tower was later closed to the outside world, Hull must have accumulated a lot of supplies, and it was much easier to obtain than the Floating City. Most importantly, I want to see if there are any survivors in this world." Zuo Si patiently explained.

Hull was the place he'd been to the most in the world outside of Floating City.

Especially those ornate and tall stone buildings, as well as many fountains,

The garden and the vines that climb all over the walls give you the feeling of being in a fairytale world.

And I also have a good relationship with some of the locals.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the plague later, Zuo Si would have considered buying a house in the city as his home, and coming to stay for a few weeks every year to relax and relax.

When he couldn't protect himself before, he naturally didn't care about thinking about it, but this time when he came back, of course, he had to go and see what was going on over there.

Are all the people you know dead?

Or did they get away with it?

"But the Floating City has been sealed, and according to you, if your feet don't step on the ground, gravity will immediately capture them, so how can we descend to the ground?" Tyrantiel questioned.

"Hehe, it's very simple, just send a low-level undead to jump off with this device. It simply throws it upwards the moment it hits the ground to ensure that the thing that records the coordinates will not be damaged. When the time comes, I'll be able to tear through a small spatial rift."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a metal disc encrusted with emeralds from his satchel.

Obviously, he had made quite good preparations in advance, and had already thought about how to get to the ground by circumventing the seal's obstruction.

Due to the strong gravitational capture, there is only one end result for magic such as climbing down the rope or levitation, and that is to fall down hard and turn into a puddle of flesh.

As for transforming into weightless spirits and sturdy constructs, they will also be hit by anti-magic rays the moment they jump, and then instantly return to their original form.

So after thinking about it, Zuo Si still thought that it was the safest and safest to use the power of the brigade mage's spark to tear apart the space.

And it's obviously very easy to send a device down with coordinate points.

Soon, under Vanessa's control, an orc zombie without any sanity took on this crucial task.

I saw that it didn't hesitate for even a second, and jumped directly from the edge of the floating island where the mage tower was located, and threw the metal disc in its arms upwards at the moment when its legs were about to make contact with the ground.

Next Second......

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the zombie instantly collided with the ground and fell to pieces, and a large amount of flesh and blood turned into a puddle of flesh and blood on the spot under the effect of several times the normal gravitational acceleration.

Three or five seconds later, the disc also fell from the sky, falling right in the middle of the mixture, and gaining some cushion.

After another ten minutes or so, the gems on the surface of the disc began to shimmer with blinding brightness.

After a while, an unstable portal was opened, and several lichs, including Zuo Si, quickly walked out from the other side.

They ignored the zombies that were trampled underfoot, just recovered the coordinate disk, and blessed themselves with flying magic and headed straight in the direction of the port city of Hull.

Since he didn't know the situation over there, Zuo Si didn't rashly use the teleportation magic.

After almost a day of flying, the towering city walls finally slowly rose from the horizon.

As expected, there was no sign of any living presence on the walls, only a few resurrected corpses wandering aimlessly.

They were still wearing the armor they had worn in their previous lives, but they had been rusted by the rain and humid air, and occasionally let out a creepy low roar.

"Is it true that it has fallen...... I really shouldn't have had any hope for such a densely populated place."

Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly, and directly flew over the city wall into the city.

Similar to the situation of the floating city of Plantia, the streets and alleys here are almost completely occupied by various spirits of the dead who have come back from the dead.

It's just that because the number of mages is relatively small, and the level is not as high as that of Floating City, the overall threat is not too big.

Several Death Knights with hundreds of low-level undead

Creatures try to kill these enemies that invade their territory, only to be overwhelmed by fireballs, lightning, and a variety of other wide-area attack spells that fall from the sky.

Vanessa, who is a necromancer, also captured one of them, intending to bring it back to find some time to study it.

Only then did they open the closed door of one of the warehouses when the battle was over.

Moment!

Mountains of iron ingots, gold bars, various rare magical metals, and a large amount of blood, bones, furs, and gems that can be used as materials for crafting magic items and casting spells immediately appear in sight.

In some cages, you can even see the corpses of dead slaves and various exotic beasts that have been resurrected in the form of undead.

Due to the very large scope of the rule of the floating city of Plantia, with a population of as many as one or two million, and a steady stream of blood sucking from the subordinate city-states and villages, its material consumption and reserves were far from being comparable to those of the small countries of Faerun, which only had a population of a few hundred thousand or even one or two million.

"Unbelievable! How prosperous was the world before it was destroyed by the plague?"

Jeffrey bent down to pick up a few gem types he had never seen before, and an undisguised shock appeared on his face.

Zuo Si replied casually, "Since there is no relationship between the gods, there is no serious division and antagonistic faith in this world like Fei Lun.

There is no messy and meaningless struggle between good and evil.

The mage is the absolute master above all living beings.

Despite their coldness and cruelty, they use their sane minds to constantly improve their techniques and apply magic to all aspects of production.

What's more, the supplies you see are the result of tens of millions of people feeding fifteen thousand mages in a floating city."

"I see. Mages living in such an environment are really happy." Jeffrey's tone revealed intense envy.

There's no way not to envy!

You know, most of the mages in Feren are plagued by materials and funding, even the most powerful legendary mages.

But the mages of Plantia Floating City, who controlled a large area of land and a population of 10 or 20 million, did not have such a problem.

Because no matter what they want, as long as this world has it, there will be countless people who will go forward to get it for it at the first order.

"Happiness? Maybe."

Zuo Si smiled noncommittally, and then said, "But it was precisely because of the lack of the birth of gods that their civilization finally came to an end in a sudden outbreak of plague.

In my opinion, God is a double-edged sword for mortals.

On the one hand, they will continue to spread their ideas, leading to serious cognitive antagonism among the people, and at the same time causing various social problems.

On the other hand, they can stand up and keep the fire alive when civilization is in crisis.

As far as I know, at the end of the Netherel era, when Karthas caused the web to spiral out of control and countless floating cities fell from the sky, the second generation of the goddess of magic once intervened to save the last three floating cities that had not yet fallen to the ground.

If there were gods in this world, it wouldn't be like this now."

The voice has not fallen!

A dark shadow flashed behind the warehouse, and then vanished.

Although the speed of the black shadow was very fast, and its way of movement was very stealthy, it was still keenly captured by the eyes of Zuo Si's many permanent magical visions.

Out of curiosity, he immediately walked through the piles of iron ingots, gold bars, and other supplies to the back where the grain, cured meats, and air-dried dried meat were stored.

It turned out that there were several footprints on the dusty ground that did not look very clear.

The shelves next to it are also missing several bags full of wheat, as well as salt, spices, cured meats and jerky, which are necessary for daily survival.

For a moment, even Vanessa and the other lichs showed surprised expressions.

As we all know, the undead do not need to eat, only live

Talent needs to eat.

There was no doubt that the black shadow just now was not some kind of mutated undead, but a living person.

This means that the city's inhabitants are not completely dead, and a small number of them have escaped hiding from the dead.

Just when Jeffrey wanted to use a detection spell to find out where the person who came to get the food just now came in, Zuo Si had already discovered the secret passage hidden behind the shelves through the [True Perception Technique], and directly opened a jar used to hold the sauce.

As a result, when the lid of the jar was lifted, a narrow tunnel that could only accommodate one thin man was exposed.

Judging from the pitted state of the surface and the height at which people can only crawl on the ground, it can be judged that this was excavated by hand little by little.

Not to mention the undead creatures that are swollen and enlarged, it is very difficult for Zuo Si to crawl over them with his current height and size, and it is difficult to be stuck in those narrowest places.

"Very clever thing to do. Even if those undead creatures find out, they won't be able to go in and find the survivors' hiding places." Vanessa whispered with interest.

"What are you going to do with these survivors? Give them shelter, or will they become residents of the future Floating City?" Jeffrey asked Zuo Si bluntly.

"Well—let's find them and see what happens, anyway. If there are still remnants of living people in this world, it is best to concentrate and protect them, and then slowly multiply and expand around a city."

With that, Zuo Si quickly cast a simple transfiguration technique, transforming from the appearance of a young man into a nimble domestic cat jumping into the opening, quickly navigating through the narrow passage.

As for the accompanying lich, they unleashed an army of undead and constructs, and began to clean up and capture nearby undead creatures around the warehouse, especially those lords who had given birth to wisdom and self-awareness.

Their aim was very simple, to create a large and stable rear, to prepare sufficient soldiers and cannon fodder for the possible resistance and fierce fighting that might be encountered in the recapture of the floating city of Plantia.

As for Zuo Si, who had penetrated into the underground passage, he ran along this narrow passage for about twenty minutes, only to find that the width and height of the tunnel in front of him began to increase, and the entrance and exit were large enough for an adult male to walk upright.

Four heavily armed guards, armed with shields and axes, appeared to be conversing with a boy who appeared to be only about ten years old and carrying a heavy sack.

"Lerp! What do you think? Did you get food?" A bearded man swallowed his saliva and asked impatiently.

Through the dim light, you can vaguely see that this strong man who is nearly two meters tall has deep sunken eye sockets, convex cheekbones, and a wide skeleton with almost no muscles, almost like skin and bones.

Not only him, but several other adult guards were similar, obviously malnutrition caused by long-term lack of food.

"I brought back a bag of wheat, and a few pounds of salt, cured meat, and jerky. It should be enough for everyone to eat two meals."

The boy opened the pocket behind him to show the harvest, and he also kept swallowing saliva.

Seeing that there was food, the four guards' eyes suddenly flashed with green light, as if they would turn into beasts and rush up to snatch it in the next second.

You must know that human beings in a state of extreme hunger have no reason to speak of.

A strong desire to survive and a desire for food will overcome everything, and the morality that usually restricts one's behavior is not even a fart in front of the instincts.

Just when Zuo Si thought that a drama of the dark side of human nature would be staged, the man with the beard at the head suddenly lowered his shield, raised his hand and slapped him in the face without warning.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound and a high swollen cheek, the green light in his eyes quickly receded, replaced by a mixture of sobriety and guilt, and he reached out and touched the boy's head with his bony hand: "I'm sorry, kid, I scared you just now. Bring it back to the camp, add more mushrooms and moss to make porridge, and give a sip to those who are dying of hunger."

"Hmm!"

The boy nodded heavily, picked up the heavy sack, and continued to walk deeper.

After he had walked away completely, the other guard couldn't help but ask, "Captain, why don't you keep some of that food behind?" Even if it's just a piece of jerky or a handful of wheat! We haven't eaten decent food for three whole days, just a bowl of mushroom and moss soup with a pinch of salt every day."

"Shut up! Do you think I don't want to? But the question is, what will the people in the gathering place think if we make this bad start? The world is so difficult right now, and those of us who survive the Last Judgment will have to come together to get through it. Don't forget, there are still a lot of people in the camp who eat less than we do," the bearded man reprimanded sharply.

"Damn! If we continue like this, we won't have to do anything with the undead creatures, and we'll all starve to death."

Another soldier threw his weapon and shield to the side, then bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, then chewed and swallowed frantically to get a little satiety from it.

People who have never been hungry can never imagine how hard it was to burn their stomachs and not be able to exert a little strength in their whole body.

Not to mention eating soil, they will even gnaw their hands and feet when they are so hungry.

Just as the bearded man was about to follow his companion's example and grab a handful of dirt to satisfy his hunger, he suddenly saw a fat and beautiful cat coming out of the depths of the cave.

You don't have to ask to know that this cat is exactly what Zuo Si changed.

Without any hesitation!

The man who was still preparing to eat soil one second threw away the black mud he was holding in his hand the next second, and a foolish smile appeared on his face, while drooling, he approached cautiously, and said something in his mouth: "Little kitten! Cute little kitten! Don't be afraid! Come into my arms! I promise to kill you in the quickest and painless way possible, and then put you in a pot and stew you into a soup with mushrooms."

When the other three guards found out, they also joined the encirclement from other directions.

Due to the extreme lack of food, almost everything that could be eaten around the camp was swept away.

Whether it's rats, once seen as a source of filth and disease, cockroaches that can make women scream, or white maggots that emerge from rotten things, they have all become supreme delicacies.

If anyone can catch a fat mouse, they will immediately get other hot and adoring eyes.

Even the noble ladies and ladies, who were originally unattainable, would lift their skirts and spread their thighs in order to be able to drink a bowl of rat broth.

Rao is Zuo Si has seen a lot of big scenes, and he is still inevitably startled by the eyes of these four refugees, and immediately suddenly accelerated, made sharp turns, drifted, and drilled out of the middle of the four with extremely sensitive movements.

The bearded man was instantly furious, and immediately spread his legs and chased after him, and roared at his companion at the top of his voice, "Disperse! Scatter them all for me and block all the exits! Don't let this cat run away anyway!"

"Don't worry! Today is to chase to the ends of the earth, and I will throw it into the pot if I catch it." Another guard replied viciously.

In this way, chased by several refugees, Zuo Si quickly slipped into the camp located in the deepest part with the help of the cover of darkness.

As expected, this is not a natural cave, but a burial chamber located under the cemetery where the dead are buried.

However, when the plague broke out, some people dragged their families and hid in, and over time this gathering place was formed.

Later, when the undead began to appear in large numbers, they lowered the stone gate and completely sealed the contact with the outside world, so they successfully persevered until now.

As for the tunnels that extend in all directions, most of them were dug by thieves to facilitate the theft of burial goods, and later they were simply remodeled and expanded to connect to the interiors of several warehouses in the upper city.

In order to prevent the undead creatures from following these passages to find and kill everyone, they made the first half of the passage very narrow, and only children under the age of ten could pass through.

In this way, refugees

These children can be allowed to steal some food from time to time and come back to barely survive.

As for drinking water, there is a small fountain in the center of the chamber that connects to the water elemental plane.

This magical device was originally intended to decorate the wealthy to make their tombs look more luxurious.

But now, it's the source of life for the entire gathering place.

The refugees use this water to grow moss and mushrooms in all available spaces.

As for why they were not infected with the plague, the most likely reason is that they were isolated relatively early, and it cannot be ruled out that they have produced some kind of antibody or immunity.

Overall, the two hundred survivors may not be an exception, and there may be other survivors in the other large tombs in the vicinity.

No doubt!

The food that the boy managed to bring back instantly sparked cheers among the refugees.

The hungry filled several cauldrons with water as if they were feasting, and then poured a small amount of wheat into them in a gesture of great reverence, and boiled them on a magical flame that would never be extinguished next to the coffin.

When the pot is boiling, a large amount of shredded mushrooms, turquoise moss, and a little cured meat and jerky are added.

Wait until it has been thoroughly boiled into a sticky paste, then sprinkle it with salt and start distributing it to everyone.

Among them, the children around the age of 10 received the most, a full two spoonfuls.

Because they are the only ones who have the ability to obtain food from the outside world, they will naturally receive preferential treatment.

Although the scene looked a little chaotic, the snatching of more food for the elderly, the sick and the disabled did not happen.

In charge of distributing and maintaining order was a woman in her forties, apparently well educated, and her actions had won the respect and convincing of all.

It's just that I don't know why, Zuo Si always feels that the other party's eyes look a little familiar, but he can be sure that he has never seen them before with his unforgettable memory.

In order to figure this out, he waited for the meal to finish his meal and secretly followed the other party into a very small separate compartment located on the west side of the main burial chamber near the entrance.

In general, places like this are often the places where the burial chamber owner's favorite servants, slaves, and concubines were buried.

Of course, these poor people were not buried in it of their own volition, or even by natural death at all, but were buried alive.

I saw this somewhat familiar looking woman slowly take off her black veil and turban, revealing a face that was six points similar to that of the necromantic archmage Asta.

Varenna!

The name instantly popped up in Zuo Si's mind.

Despite being an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years, Asta has left behind countless descendants.

But Valenna is undoubtedly the most special and the most worrying one for the Necromantic Archmage.

Even every year he would take a few days out to travel to Hull to live with his offspring.

As for the specific reason, no one knows.

However, Zuo Si felt that there were only two possibilities.

One is that Varenna may look very similar to Asta's long-dead wife or first love, so it's an emotional transfer.

The other is that he has done some unknown magical experiments on this offspring of his own, so he needs to observe and draw conclusions every other moment.

Just as Zuo Si was about to get closer to stun the woman, and then do a simple examination, the other party suddenly turned around vigilantly and asked sharply, "Who? Who's hiding there?"

"Your perception is surprisingly acute, Lady Varenna."

Zuo Si walked out of the shadows with an elegant and authentic "catwalk".

"A cat that talks all the time! You know me?" Valenna's eyes widened in shock.

"Of course I know you. You are the most beloved descendant of the necromantic archmage Asta, and the one he cares about the most." Zuo Si pretended to be mysterious and said.

In order to be able to get from each other's mouths

Pulling out some secrets, he was not in a hurry to return to his human form, but kept his cat appearance.

Because a small animal form like this one can lower the vigilance of others to some extent.

Hearing the name "Asta", Varenna stood up abruptly and asked with a happy face, "Were you sent by your great-grandfather to save me?" How is he now? Is there salvation for our world?"

Zuo Si pretended to be sad and lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I have to inform you of the unfortunate news that Master Asta is dead, and like the other mages in the Floating City, he didn't escape. But before he died, he commissioned me to come to you, and said that you had kept something very important for him."

"What? Grandfather Gao is dead! How is this possible! Absolutely impossible!"

The bad news suddenly caused Varena to fall into a breakdown and began to yell hysterically.

You must know that the reason why she has been able to support it until now is that she is looking forward to the omnipotent "ancestor" who will one day be able to degrade herself from the sky.

"Nothing is impossible. What's more, Master Asta's age is already close to the limit of human beings, and his death is predictable."

Zuo Si took advantage of this opportunity to quietly come to the front and released a cloud of colorless and odorless gas at a lightning speed.

When Varenna smelled it, she immediately rolled her eyes and lost consciousness.

Clearly, the cat's petite size had succeeded in lowering her vigilance.

After he succeeded, Zuo Si returned to his human form, picked up the other party and placed him on a simple wooden bed made of a coffin lid next to him, and began to examine him from beginning to end.

As a result, he soon found an area in the woman's mind that had been sealed with necromantic magic.

Judging by the technique and technique, it is 100% Astagan.

As for what exactly is sealed in this area, it is not clear for a while.

Because the brain is so complicated, so complicated that even Zuo Si doesn't dare to try it easily.

Otherwise, if there is any accident, no one will be able to know the secret of the seal inside.
