Chapter 308: The Living World - Zendikar (10,000 Words Subscription Requested)
There was no doubt that Zuo Si opened a huge passage to the dark void and attracted the attention of the gods in Faeron.
Because even for a moment, the powerful, chaotic, and distorted mana of the Dark Void terrified them.
Or rather, anything powerful enough to kill a god makes these guys nervous.
This is true of the gods, the weapons and magic that can kill the gods, and the same is true of the ancient evils.
Due to the fact that the gods of Faeron had a habit of convening powerful meetings to resolve major disagreements, endless quarrels and debates soon began in the Pantheon.
Because of the opposition of the Goddess of Magic, the God of Knowledge and their Servants, and allies, and the threat of the Goddess of Poison and Disease to start a divine war, Ciric and Shar tried to push for sanctions and restrictions against Zuosi to be passed.
During this time, the god of justice, Tyr, and his allies chose neutrality.
Because, as Ogma said, Zuo Si did not do anything that was a substantial threat to Faerun, so it is not in line with the procedures and ideals of "justice" to impose sanctions and restrictions just because he has great power.
He simply wanted to know more about this mortal from another plane, and where the power of the other party came from.
During this period, people like Gunde, the god of craftsmen, and Lierla, the goddess of joy, who was performing her priesthood on behalf of the goddess of wealth, were also clearly on the side of opposition.
And Taros, the storm god of the furious gods, is greatly interested in the chaotic power of the Dark Void.
He also believes that if he can bring that power under his control, he will definitely override other powerful divine forces and set off a storm that is enough to destroy the world.
Therefore, instead of wanting to join the ranks of sanctions and restrictions, he felt that he should take the initiative to introduce this force into Faerun.
As a result, it was not surprising that it was collectively opposed by other powerful divine forces.
And the god of war Tampas feels that this ability to travel through time and space at will is simply born for war, and as long as it is used well, it can completely plunge the entire multiverse into a war.
For example, open a passage that directly connects the bottomless abyss and the Heavenly Mountain, so that the original two-sided bloody battle between demons and demons will become a three-way melee battle.
In short, anything that can provoke a war, this god of war of the chaotic camp is more than happy to participate and help.
Of course, for the movements he made and the attention from the gods of Faerun, Zuo Si couldn't care about it at all now.
It was the first time for him to travel a long distance through the Dark Void, and at this moment he was half-kneeling on top of a huge inverted triangular hedron suspended in mid-air, and the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat.
At this moment, not only was a large amount of mana in his mana pool consumed, but even the spark, the source of the mage's power, was much dimmer due to overdraft.
Exhaustion!
Very, very tired!
Since the physique attribute reached an astonishing thirty-three points, this was the first time that Zuo Si felt that his entire person had been completely hollowed out from spirit to body.
Before, even if he didn't sleep for days or even a month, this would not happen.
Because traveling through the Dark Void requires maximum spark power to ensure that you're not affected by the chaos of matter and mana.
If you don't make full preparations in advance, I'm afraid you'll have to die halfway, or just find an unknown time and space to jump out and slow down.
Fortunately!
Zendikar is a world of magical energy that is overflowing.
Right now, he's like a Constructed Golem that has fallen dormant due to lack of energy, frantically sucking in the primordial magical energy in the air around him to charge the sparks and refill the zeroed mana pool.
One minute......
An hour......
After a cycle of sunrise and sunset, Zuo Si finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the cold hedron ground, looking out at the surrounding and distant scenery.
In the next second, he was deeply shocked by the picture he saw.
If the floating city of Plantia is the work of a magical civilization, then the Zendikar plane is a work of nature.
I saw that on the endless surface of the water, thousands of huge stones of different sizes were floating in the air in a staggered manner under the action of primordial magical power, like islands floating in the air.
The island is not only covered with green plants and vines, but also a variety of never-before-seen animals and birds.
Some islands even have rivers and waterfalls cascading down from the edges, falling on other islands, or crashing into the water below, with a deafening rumbling sound.
As for the place below the floating island, it is even more surprising that I don't know whether it is a large lake or an ocean.
Fish that are three to five meters long and larger than a human can be seen everywhere, and from time to time there are huge shadows of more than 30 meters, 50 meters or even hundreds of meters under the water.
You don't have to ask to know that it's all the result of Zendikar's plane's abundant mana.
Supported by the ubiquitous magical energy, all living beings in this world grow extraordinarily large, and their bodies contain unimaginable power.
What's even more terrifying is that even elemental life has become extraordinarily active under its influence.
In the distance, you can even see whirlpools of water rising up to a height of one or two thousand meters raging, absorbing everything that can be captured nearby, and then being torn to pieces alive under the high-speed agitation of the water.
Similarly, there are earth elemental creatures rising from the mountains behind, wandering around aimlessly.
This is Zendikar!
A living world, a world where life is born all the time, a world with enough resources and energy to attract three Eldrazi Titans at once.
Of course, such a world is not without its shortcomings, that is, it is too chaotic, primitive and manic to be suitable for the birth and development of civilization.
To be precise, after the collapse of the ancient empire built by the kor before the arrival of the Eldrazi, there were not even a few decent cities, and the various sapient tribes were kept in the smallest possible tribes and villages.
Because of the abundance of magical energy, everything around you may "live" at any time.
Once the earth comes to life, it will turn into a super giant earth elemental creature that is tens or even hundreds of meters tall;
Once the forest and trees come to life, a large number of large communities such as Treants and Vines will be born;
Once the water comes to life, it will set off a huge wave that will drown the surrounding area, or it will turn into a terrible whirlpool and crush everything;
Once the air and wind come alive, terrible hurricanes and tornadoes will be formed, causing unimaginable horrific damage;
And when the flames come alive, they can cause terrible fires and even lava eruptions.
So the inhabitants of Zendikar simply can't create a stable large gathering place, but are prepared to move whenever they want.
If you can't settle in one place for a long time, you can't develop an agricultural civilization that cultivates, and you can't improve your technology and technology, so you can only rely on hunting, gathering and fishing for a long time to make a living.
Therefore, the indigenous civilization of this world has always remained in a very primitive state.
The only good thing is that the abundance of natural resources can easily provide a lot of food, even if you just hunt, fish and gather.
For them, the real threat and challenge is never disease, hunger or anything like that, but the extremely dangerous and harsh living environment.
Taking a deep breath of the world's energy-filled air with an incredibly high proportion of oxygen, Zuo Si immediately cast several detective prophecy magic.
Although these spells were limited by the influence of the lands, they could only confirm the situation within a few hundred kilometers of the surrounding area, but the result still relaxed his tense nerves a little.
At least to the extent that it is currently detectable, there is no trace of the existence of Eldrazi or its descendants.
"Phewβit looks like the seal hasn't been lifted by Nissa Raven, and Zendikar is safe for now." Zuo Si muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Don't take it lightly! Zendikar is huge! Perhaps the Eldrazi Titans' seals have been broken, and they are wreaking havoc on another continent. The diary couldn't help but remind.
But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly: "Don't worry, before I leave the coordinates in this world, I will personally confirm the status of the seal." β
"What do you mean...... A trip to the Eye of Ugin? The diary tone was intensely surprised.
Because the Eye of Ugin is the key to sealing the Eldrazi, and it is also the place where the Ancient Brigade mages - the spirit dragon Ugin, the vampire Sorin Markov, and the lithomancer Nahiri have set up the strongest defenses.
Whether the seal is well preserved or has been breached, it means that the danger is extremely high.
After all, from the moment he arrived at Zendikar, the enemy he had to face was not just the natives of each plane, but the traveling mage who had the same spark and time-traveling abilities as him.
"There are only two ways to find out if the Eldrazi have been released.
One is to go to the Eye of Ugin to confirm it for yourself, and the other is to find the culprit of the whole thing, the Elven Brigade Mage - Nissa Raven.
I think it's easier to find the Eye of Ugin than to find someone with the ability to time travel in the vast world of Zendikar.
And in the process of searching, I can also collect some creatures and magic from this plane.
Especially the magic crystal that he is stepping on now, it should have been made by the lithomancer Nahiri.
The complex runes on it are the unique dragon magic of the spirit dragon Ugin, which is very valuable for research......"
Zuo Si said as he cast a spell to print all the symbols that had been worn out for thousands of years and displayed them in front of him.
No doubt!
As the ancestor of all dragons in the Tarkir plane, Ugin has lived for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, and his knowledge and magical power have far surpassed that of many gods.
In other words, a dragon brigade mage like him has a very existence beyond the gods.
Therefore, such as [Reading Magic], [Scholar's Touch], [Fluent Language], [Analyzing Spells], etc., which were learned in Faeren, can only obtain some confusing and specious interpretations.
Not to mention these spells, even the Eye of Knowledge given by Ogmar, the god of knowledge, can only be interpreted and recorded literally, and cannot understand its deep meaning and specific function at all.
That's not even the case with a single hedron, let alone the millions, if not millions, of anything like it scattered across the Zendikar plane.
It can even be said that he was able to successfully seal the Eldrazi, and Ugin played a decisive role in it.
Sorin Markov used his ability to control and create life more to awaken the consciousness of the planet beneath his feet, so that it could provide enough energy for the seal to ensure that the three Eldrazi could not escape.
As for the lithomancer Nahiri, she was a miscellaneous at best.
If it weren't for the magical runes that Ugin had carved into the hedrons, the hedron she had worked so hard to carve would be of no use.
"Don't look at it, with your current knowledge and magic level, it's almost impossible to decipher these runes. Instead of wasting time in this kind of place, it's better to act quickly. The journal whispered.
"I don't need to say this, I know it." Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily.
Immediately after, he canceled the maintenance spell, and the whole person took off into the sky in the form of a blue dragon, and began to fly low at a low altitude, looking for villages where the sapient beings might have gathered.
In the world of Zendikar, there are six main sapient races.
Among them, humans and elves (also known as elves) throughout the multiverse are the most numerous and common terrestrial races.
In addition to this, there are merfolk who live in the water and a special subspecies of humans called the "Ko".
The former mermaid is not the traditional form of having the upper body as a human and the lower body as a fish.
Rather, it is a humanoid creature with full legs and blue skin, and can even live on land for a long time away from the ocean.
The latter is basically not much different from humans, with white or gray skin like marble, and is known for its strong physical fitness and ability to climb.
The Kor, who have almost a slight talent for magic, can draw energy from the environment like the lithomancer Nahiri and shape it into a pure energy shield or weapon.
As for the last two, they are goblins who can survive and thrive in any harsh environment, and vampires who have become obsessed with their origins.
As someone who has been wallowing in intrigue for a long time, Zuo Si thinks that the vampire of Zendikar is very likely to be inseparable from Sorin Markov, maybe it is the descendant of this guy himself transformed a long time ago.
With this suspicion, he quickly flew over the mountains, and it was not long before he was far away from the place where there was water.
As they delved deeper into the land, creatures of various shapes and large glowing crystalline horns on their heads gradually came into view.
Known collectively as "Crystal Horns" in this world, they are ferocious beasts that resemble felines.
And the huge glowing horns above the head are the entities formed by the high condensation of the mana of this space-time.
Depending on the size of the horns, the "Crystal Horn" has the power to manipulate magical energy.
In particular, those beastmasters who are more than twenty meters in size can even release powerful positive energy magic.
In the beginning, Zuo Si also wanted to use his dragon form and flying ability to capture a "Crystal Horned Beastmaster" as a minion.
But when I started fighting, I found that these guys were much more difficult to deal with than I imagined.
IQ, in particular, is no worse than that of humans at all, and knows how to use it to their advantage.
And that's not all!
In combat, it can also draw energy from the air around it and the sunlight above its head, constantly strengthening itself and repairing its injuries.
In other words, unless you use a super attack to kill him at once, or wait for the sun to set and fall at night, the Crystal Horn Beastmaster can continue to fight.
"Gan! This guy's combat power and difficulty are about to catch up with Gu Long. No! Wrong! It should be the Primeval Dragon. Ordinary ancient dragons don't have such a strong resilience. Zuo Si said condescendingly as he stared at the fierce beast on the ground.
"Isn't that a matter of course? Zendikar's magical energy is far more abundant than Feren's, and it's not limited in any way, so it's not surprising that stronger magical creatures will be born. It's as if the dragon kings of the low-magic world of Klein are far larger and more magically powerful than the native-born dragons. β
The diary is straightforward about the secrets behind it.
As it describes, the higher the world, the easier it is to give birth to terrifying creatures that are so powerful that they feel suffocated.
Because the surrounding environment is abundant in magical energy and life energy, it will provide an unimaginably huge boost to its growth.
Even if it's the same species, the difference between growing up in a high-magic world and a low-magic world can be quite striking.
The former is like a child who has received adequate nutrition since childhood, and will naturally grow up to be extraordinarily tall, while the latter is like a malnourished child, and will inevitably be much smaller than shorter.
"Well, looks like I'm going to have to do something else."
As he spoke, Zuo Si instantly activated his electorate ability, first injecting the Crystal Horn Beast King with a bunch of terrifying viruses, bacteria, and toxins.
Then [Energy Absorption], [Weakening Ray], [Blindness], [Exhaustion Ray], [Spell Reduction], [Mentally Handicapped], [Weak Energy] and other necromantic magic that can weaken the enemy are a set.
Anyway, the Crystal Horn Beast King does not have the ability to fly, except for the huge crystal horn above his head, which can release some elemental attacks, there is basically no long-range attack means, and he can only watch the enemies above his head complete one complex spell after another, and he is becoming weaker and weaker in the face of these magics.
Eventually, it let out a roar of rage and reluctance.
"Roaring !!!!!!"
Even those who can't understand the language of beasts can feel the indescribable grievance from this roar.
No way, this is the advantage of having air supremacy.
I can fly, but I can't fly, so you can only stay on the ground and be beaten passively, and you can fight and leave if you want, you can't do anything at all.
Whether in the world of science and technology or the world of magic, whoever has air supremacy can occupy the absolute initiative.
After all the spells were thrown, Zuo Si curled the corners of his mouth and showed a sinister smile, regardless of whether the beasts on the ground below could understand what he said, and said in a slightly playful tone: "Don't worry, I won't kill you." On the contrary, I'm here to help you escape the impending disaster. Know that once the seal is broken, three mighty Eldrazi Titans begin to devour the world, even if you don't want to be alone. β
"Roaring !!!!!!"
The Crystal Horned Beast King obviously didn't appreciate it, and the horns formed by the energy crystallization violently threw out a golden spear of light.
But unfortunately, although this thing is called a "light spear", it is not really as fast as light, it is closer to a kind of positive energy aggregate, and its flight speed is two or three times faster than that of ordinary throwing weapons, how can it hit a dragon with flying ability.
Zuo Si, who maintained the form of a blue dragon, directly raised his height slightly, and let the light spear slash underneath, and then fell to the ground behind him with a loud bang.
The place where it was hit by the spear of light immediately exploded, and was repeatedly ravaged by the storm of positive energy.
"Alasβthis kind of thing is really not suitable for me, so it's easier to knock me out."
With that, Zuo Si immediately accelerated and dived down, waving his wings at a lightning speed to make a standard dragon wing flap.
Because the Crystal Horn Beast King was hit by a DBUFF, he didn't have time to react, and his head was instantly slapped and slammed into the ground.
Bang!
Without incident, it lost its balance on the spot, and its massive body rolled on its side and fell to the ground.
Zuo Si took the opportunity to pounce, opened the huge dragon's mouth and spewed out a deadly lightning breath, and the electric crystal horned beast king pulled out violently up and down, allowing the other party to experience the extreme sourness of a strong current passing through his body.
And that's not all!
After the blow was successful, Zuo Si Deli was unforgiving, and the thick tail was swept again, and the Crystal Horned Beast King, who had just struggled to stand up, was taken down again.
Eventually, he pounced on the dragon and pinned it to the ground with its strong and powerful claws.
Although in terms of size, the Crystal Horn Beast King is obviously larger than the old Blue Dragon, normally close hand-to-hand combat should be taken advantage of.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't know how to play any fair duels, so from the very beginning, he added a lot of magic and magic to increase his basic attributes and combat experience.
One of the two sides has been weakened and the other has been strengthened, so Zuo Si is obviously a cut above him in terms of basic attributes.
Coupled with the blessings of a series of protective magics such as [Stone Skin Technique], [High Mage Armor], [Iron Armor Spell], and [Protective Energy Damage], the Crystal Horned Beast King struggled to even bite and claw.
Although it tried its best to draw positive energy from the sunlight above its head to recover itself, Zuo Si sinisterly spread its wings to block the sun overhead.
In the end, the Crystal Horn Beast King lost his ability to resist little by little under multiple tortures, and as a result, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma.
Zuo Si also took the opportunity to return to his human form, took out a blank card, and made it into a summoned creature.
[Creature Card: Beast - Crystal Horn King]
[LV7 White Card (Upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Precious]
[Effect: Summons a Crystal Horn Monarch to serve the Traveling Mage.]
Not only does it have excellent melee combat capabilities, but it can also use its giant crystalline horns to manipulate positive energy to attack its targets, while drawing positive energy from sunlight to heal injuries to its allies (the more subjects you heal, the worse the effect, and vice versa), and strengthen your basic stats (two each for Strength, Agility, and Constitution).
Each time a land card that generates white energy is active, the Crystal Horn King will receive an additional boost (increased healing power, plus one for three basic attributes).
When the enhancement stack reaches forty, the creature will complete a super evolution and become almost undefeatable]
[To use this card, you need to pay 25 white mana, or 25 universal mana]
[When the summoned Crystal Horn King is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard to wait for rebirth for 90 days]
Super Evolution?
Almost unbeatable?
Looking at these two words, Zuo Si touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Because it was the first time he'd seen a card with that description.
Through the battle just now, he had realized that although the Crystal Horned Beastmaster also had flesh and blood, he was essentially a pure positive energy creature.
Therefore, if nothing else, its evolution must be towards the continuous strengthening of positive energy.
Could it be that the final evolutionary form is to become a pure form of highly concentrated energy?
In that case, it is indeed difficult to beat.
Because unless it is neutralized with more powerful negative energy, the injury may not be as fast as the recovery time.
All in all, it's a powerful "nurse" card that makes up for the last shortcoming in the Minion series.
With the addition of the Crystal Horn Monarch, giant beasts such as the Plate Armor Crusher, Earth-Shaking Elephant, and Oranri Hydra are huge, tenacious, and destructive, and can finally go on a rampage with impunity instead of worrying about being dragged down alive by the enemy.
"It's no wonder so many traveling mages love to visit Zendikar, it's full of treasures." Zuo Si fiddled with the card in his hand and muttered to himself.
Just as he was about to set off to continue his search for the village, he suddenly saw a dark shadow suddenly flash in the forest not far away.
Someone?
Zuo Si's blessed eyes instantly penetrated the dense woods, locking on to a sturdy human with a height of more than two meters.
I saw this guy dragging a glowing rope like "Tarzan of the Apes", swinging between the giant trees, and jumped out after a while.
With white hair, gray skin, and rudimentary armor made of unknown animal skin, it was clear that they were the kor of the Zendikar plane.
When he saw the scorched earth left behind by the battle with the Crystal Horn Monarch on the ground, a look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face, and at the same time, his eyes were full of awe.
After all, any Zendikar natives know what it means to be a Diamondhorn King.
Most villages, when they find themselves in their area infested with such giant beasts, will not hesitate to migrate rather than try to drive them away or destroy them.
Not to mention small villages, even those few big cities didn't dare to easily stimulate a crystal-horned beast king.
Otherwise, the consequences are not much different from provoking a giant beast with devastating power like the Earthshaker.
Out of respect for the strong, the Kou man slowly lowered the weapon in his hand and opened his arms in a strange half-squat position.
Obviously, he opened his arms to show that he had no weapons, and squatting to show that he didn't want to attack, both of which are very easy to understand body language.
Zuo Si stroked his chest in an singular number, slightly owed a bow, and returned the salute.
In this way, the two completed the first step of contact without saying a word.
Realizing that the other was not hostile, the two of them took a few steps forward in unison, and did not stop until the distance was reduced to less than two meters.
The Kou people spoke first and uttered some strange syllables, while Zuo Si tried to greet him in a few of his own languages.
As a result, neither of them understood what the other was saying.
In desperation, Zuo Si had no choice but to bless himself with a [Clever Speech Technique] and began to learn a new language with the help of the power of magic.
After about 20 minutes of communication between the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, he basically understood the pronunciation, grammar and most of the vocabulary that is often used in the Kor language.
Finally, under the stunned gaze of the Kor people, he finally said in the Kor language: "Hello, stranger, my name is Soth, if you don't mind, can you take me to the nearest village or city?" β
"You...... Do you speak our language?! The Ko people's mouths grew in shock.
"I just learned it from you." Zuo Si replied with a smile.
"Just now? With me? You're not kidding, are you? The Kor people were clearly a little unconvinced.
After all, in Zendikar, the Kor are a race with a relatively long history, and even built a huge empire that stood tall in the sky, and almost completed the great feat of unifying Zendikar.
So the Kor language is the most complex, rigorous, and grammatically complex of all races, and there is no one.
It takes at least two or three months for the average person to come into contact with the Kor language for the first time.
"Do you think I need to make such a joke?"
Zuo Si pointed to the battlefield around him that had turned into scorched earth and asked.
Moment!
The kor were silent.
Because he knew very well how powerful a person who could defeat or even drive away the Crystal Horn King would be.
There is no need for such a person to lie.
Eventually, the kor people identified it as the work of some kind of mysterious magic, and hurriedly responded, "Well, I apologize to you for my suspicions, strange human powerhouse. If you don't mind, can you tell me where the Crystalhorn Monarch has gone, who originally used this forest as his territory, has gone? It's very important to me and the whole tribe. β
"It was driven far away by me and should never come back."
Zuo Si quickly gave a rather vague answer.
He intends to continue to hide his identity as a Brigade Mage until he meets the first Brigade Mage.
The reason is simple!
Zendikar isn't Ferron, who has never been visited by a traveling mage, there are several traveling mages who have ignited sparks in the country.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to avoid exposure first.
But if you accidentally bump into it, then from the moment you meet, both parties can feel the spark in each other's bodies, so there is no need to hide it at all.
"Driven away? That's great! Thank you. β
The kor people were immediately overjoyed, their faces full of undisguised excitement and gratitude, and they took the initiative to explain, "We have been worried that this Crystal-Horned Beast King will consider the village as part of his territory and launch an attack.
Now I can finally rest easy and don't have to worry about moving farther all day.
You must know that in the past two years, I don't know what happened, but I always feel that the activity of the elements is increasing exponentially, and it is not so easy to find a relatively safe place to settle down.
If you migrate, you'll probably be attacked by those damn vampires in the wild.
Oh, by the way, you can call me Kisha.
As you can see, I'm a warrior and hunter who spends my days patrolling the surrounding beasts and monsters that could pose a threat to the village. β
"If you don't mind, can you take me to your village?" Zuo Si made a request.
The Kor, who called himself Kisha, didn't say a word, and immediately laughed and nodded: "Of course it's no problem." Our village welcomes strong men and warriors like you, and you can even settle in our village if you wish. Let's go, I'm going to tell the elders the good news that the Crystal Horn King has been driven away, so that everyone doesn't have to think about the migration. β
As he spoke, Kisha picked up the weapon on the ground again, and then spread his hands and condensed the energy into a glowing rope through some unknown magic or natural ability, and threw it hard at the treetops high up.
Next Second......
He swung his feet off the ground in the woods.
You don't need to ask to know that this kind of use of ropes to move quickly in the woods and some places with a large drop in the highlands is exactly the housekeeping skill of the Kou people, and it can also be said to be a racial talent.
"Is it similar to the magic of the change system? It's kind of interesting! β
Zuo Si muttered in a low voice, and then blessed himself with flying skills and followed closely behind.
After about half an hour, after crossing two mountains and a huge floating lake in the shape of a bowl, I finally managed to reach an island hundreds of meters above the ground.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, Zuo Si saw a row of wooden walls five or six meters high in front of him.
Because Zendikar's plants and trees are so large and luxuriant, "saplings" that are ten meters tall and more than five adult male waists in diameter are almost everywhere.
Therefore, wood is certainly a more readily available building material than stone.
Taking the Kou village in front of you as an example, almost all of the houses, walls, guard towers, and livestock sheds are made of wood at a glance.
When a Kor, who was standing guard on a tower, saw the two of them, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey! Kisha! Who's that human behind you? The elder said that it was not permissible to take strangers back to the village. β
"Behind me, this is a powerful spellcaster who drove away the Crystal Horn Monarch! He's no stranger! It's the benefactor of our village! Kisha said proudly.
"What? Drove away the Crystal Horn King! The Ko people on the tower raised an octave abruptly.
"That's right! I saw with my own eyes that the place where the Crystalhorn Monarch frequented had completely turned into a scorched earth, and it must have been a fierce battle. Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and inform the elders, we need to have a good celebration tonight. β
With that, Kisha ignored the reactions of his clansmen, and took Zuo Si directly over the wall and into the village.
Yes!
It's climbing over the wall, not the door.
Because there is no door in this village at all, all the kor people have to rely on the magic ability to create energy ropes to enter and exit.
Contrary to the primitive and barren nature that was expected, when he entered it, he realized that although the Zendikar plane did not have a strong civilization, advanced technology, and productivity, the ubiquitous magical power filled everything.
Especially the Kou people, whether they are old people, women or children, can grasp and control some magic power to some extent.
Using these primitive spells, they molded different materials into a variety of shapes, even weaving plant fibers into relatively rough cloth, while also using the fire element to forge ores and metals.
Some of the simple-looking spears, axes, and javelins are actually out-and-out magical items.
In addition to being sharp, the hunting steel fork can also release a strong electric current, which can make a herbivore similar to the size of an African elephant on the earth lose the ability to resist and be slaughtered with a single blow.
What is High Magic World?
That's it!
Even if they don't need to do any learning, the natives of Zendikar can still gain spellcasting abilities as naturally as breathing.
With a little exercise, some elite kor people can shape their energy into shields or weapons.
This is perfectly demonstrated by a group of teenagers who are training in martial arts.
In Faerun, they can at least be classified as LV5 warriors and LV5 warlocks.
In other words, any Kor warrior pulled out is equivalent to a professional with a total level of LV10 in Faeron.
Although the number of spells they master is a little smaller, the types are relatively simple.
Due to the small size of the village, the two soon came to a two-story wooden house.
A little boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old was standing in the courtyard of his house, wielding a machete more than a man high, and in the blink of an eye, he dismembered an unknown animal that weighed almost two or three hundred kilograms, without even staining a drop of blood on his body or hands.
The skillful movements and amazing strength make people feel a strong sense of disobedience, no matter how you look at it.
But when the boy saw Kisha, he immediately threw down the machete in his hand and immediately pounced excitedly: "Daddy! β
"Hahahaha! My good son! How's it going, do you miss me? β
Kisha laughed and lifted the boy high against his strong shoulders.
The boy didn't answer his father's question, but stared at Zuo Si and asked in a slightly curious tone, "Dad, who is this human being?" β
"He's the hero who helped us drive out the Crystal Horn King, and I'm about to take him to the Elders." Kisha replied without thinking.
"Exorcise the Crystal Horn King? Just him? There was a strong suspicion in the boy's eyes.
Because in his inherent cognition, having a strong body and well-developed muscles like his father is a proof of strength.
How could a "little skinny monkey" like Zuo Si, who didn't look as strong as himself, defeat a mobile "natural disaster" like the Crystal Horn Monarch that was enough to easily destroy a village?
Kisha sensed this and explained with a smile, "This Lord Soth is a spellcaster who can control mana everywhere, unlike a warrior and hunter like Dad who feeds on his body and strength. β
"Spellcaster? Is it like Aunt Elena? The boy couldn't help but ask.
"Well, almost. But your Aunt Elena is a healer, so she shouldn't be the same in terms of how she manipulates mana and her attributes. In short, Lord Soth is a very powerful man, you have to respect him a little, you know? β
With that, Kisha lowered the boy from his shoulders and reached out and touched the latter's head.
After doing all this, he turned to Zuo Si and said, "Your Excellency, this is my son, he has never left the village since he was a child, so he doesn't know anything about the outside world, and he can't speak very well, please forgive me." β
Zuo Si smiled disappreciably and shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." And compared to those cunning people who hide knives in their smiles, I still prefer the direct and frank nature of children. β
Kisha nodded approvingly: "What you said makes too much sense. While the elders haven't sent anyone yet, it's better to have a light meal at my house. β
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
Zuo Si found a wooden chair in the courtyard and sat down on the spot, watching the father and son put large pieces of meat and some unknown plant rhizomes into a stone pot to stew, and after boiling, add some salt and condiments like herbs.
It didn't take long for a meal to be ready.
There are no staple foods, just large pieces of meat that are full of tubes and soft and waxy plant roots like cassava and potatoes.
As for the taste......
It can only be said that it is cooked, and it can barely be swallowed in the mouth.
It's not delicious, and it's not unpalatable.
