Chapter 361: The Artifact Only Lives with "Virtue" (10,000 Words Chapter Subscription Requested)
In the deep and dark cavern, a huge red dragon lay on its stomach on a mountain of gold and silver treasures, motionless, as if it had fallen into a long sleep.
However, if you look closely, you can see that his eyes are actually open, but for some reason, unlike the normal red dragon, which has an orange-red glow like lava flowing, it is dark and unfocused.
In front of the huge dragon head, a 30-centimeter-long, vertically placed prismatic pulsating crystal can be faintly seen.
You don't need to ask to know that this red dragon is Hephaestus who was brutally plucked by the sinister and cunning Jalaso.
His dark eyes were the catastrophic result of accidentally spraying the shattered magic crystal with his high-temperature flame breath, causing the release of terrifying energy from within.
As for the crystal in front of him, it is naturally the famous evil artifact - "Clincinibbon".
But at this moment, the Shattered Demon Crystal is no longer able to unscrupulously hint at a wide range of evil creatures in the vicinity as before, so that it can serve its evil purposes and ambitions.
Even the original luster has been lost, like an ordinary crystal pillar.
Because Hephaestus's dragon breath did not completely destroy it, but it caused great damage to the consciousness that existed within the artifact, so that it began to become incomplete, and it could no longer think rationally.
But in the same way, this attack unexpectedly reveals the deepest mystery of how Clincinibon was hidden.
Through the transparent crystal pillar, you can vaguely see seven shadows that appear and disappear in it.
Clearly, they are the seven lichs who created this evil artifact in the first place, and they are also the source of the original magical power of the Shattered Crystal.
To be exact, the seven creators of the Lich were sucked into and sealed inside the artifact after the magic ritual was over.
Before, their spirit and will were suppressed by Clincienbnebon's consciousness, and they didn't even have a chance to emerge.
But now, with Clincibbon's will battered, the lichs have finally found a chance to come out and breathe.
It's a pity that the lifebox has been completely fused and absorbed by the crystal pillar, and its life and soul are permanently bound to the shattered demon crystal, so they have no chance to escape.
As for the red dragon Hephaestus, he has been in a trance since he became blind, and often falls into a strange state of stillness.
And this state of neither thinking nor sleeping began to become more frequent and longer as time went on, and this time it lasted for a whole month.
If it were other creatures, I am afraid that they would have starved to death a long time ago.
But for a dragon that can live by eating dirt, this is obviously nothing at all, and it will take at least another hundred years of starvation to lead to death.
Just as Hephaestus had finally recovered from that strange state that could not be described in words, and was about to stretch his body a little, his keen sense of smell and blindness suddenly sensed that there was a sudden extra person in the lair, and immediately stood up vigilantly and shouted, "Who?" Who's there? β
"It's me."
With a response without a trace of emotion, Zuo Si, who had been hiding in the dark and observing for a while, slowly came out of the shadows.
To be honest, at the beginning, he still couldn't believe that a red dragon in the prime of life had serious problems with his spirit and even his soul just because of a burst of energy from a shattered magic crystal.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the actual situation was even more complicated and unimaginable than expected.
Because when Clincinibon exploded, part of his original will was absorbed by Hephaestus with the surge of energy, and after years of fusion and assimilation, it finally became a part of his soul and consciousness.
It's no wonder that the Shattered Demon Crystal consciousness was awakened when the magic plague broke out in the future and formed a large-scale chaotic magic storm, and it was able to merge with this red dragon as soon as possible, transforming its body into a special dragon lich state, and even calling himself the "King of the Netherworld".
In addition, there is a faint thing inside the Shattered Demon Crystal that resembles a seed created by psionic energy.
If nothing else, this is the Mind Flayer who was sprayed to death by the dragon's breath - Yin Haras Creek, who was retained at the last moment before death through special means to resemble a hybrid of memories and soul fragments.
There was no doubt that the sheer amount of energy released by Hephaestus with his fiery breath at Crincinibon inevitably caused such magical effects that even a few of the parties involved could not figure out what was going on.
This is also why the Frenzy Mage is recognized as one of the most dangerous spellcasters.
Under the influence of uncontrollable frenzied fluctuations, a lowest-level zero ring spell has the potential to cause the astonishing destructive power of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ring spells.
With the exception of the Goddess of Magic herself and the elect she bestowed on the Silver Fire, no one else had the power to quell the frenzied magical fluctuations that had already occurred.
Normally, the only thing that can be done at such a time is to stop using all spell abilities, scrolls, items, and potions, and then turn around and run wild while praying to Tymorrah, the goddess of luck.
Obviously, the current Shattered Demon Crystal is no longer the pulsating crystal pillar, but must add this red dragon to be considered a complete whole.
"A human?!"
There was a hint of surprise in Hephaestus's tone.
Due to the fact that he was completely blind, he had not left the lair for a long time, and he did not know what had happened outside in recent years.
But he knew that under normal circumstances, no human would dare to break into his lair easily.
"Hehe, I came all the way from the southern port of Carlin, just thinking that I had obtained the legendary artifact, the Shattered Crystal, Clincinibbon. If you don't mind, can you just give it to me? It's good for both of us. You, in particular, may be able to save your life because of this. β
Zuo Si politely expressed his intention.
Of course, no amount of politeness can hide the fact that this is a naked robbery.
As the so-called artifact, only those who are "virtuous" live in it.
What kind of virtue is this "virtue"?
Of course, it's "martial arts"!
At least that's how Zuo Si has always understood it.
Hephaestus was stupid on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Because he has never robbed others in his life, when did he be robbed by others?
But soon, the red dragon instantly entered a state of rage, and without saying a word, he opened his mouth and spewed out hot dragon breath in the direction where Zuo Si was.
Rumble!
οΌ
οΌ
οΌ
A bright and dazzling blue-red cone-shaped flame swept directly through the originally not very spacious passage in the cave.
But unfortunately, this kind of single, unaltered, and very easily predictable attack is not even of any use to the current Zuo Si.
He himself had already drunk the fire protection potion, and the moment the hot dragon's breath approached, it was firmly blocked by an invisible energy force field, as if the rushing river was separated by a solid rock.
"Alasβyou really don't have a long memory!"
Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly, and instantly transformed into a giant dragon form, opening his big mouth full of fangs, and without saying a word, he spewed out an extremely powerful lightning breath that shone with silver light in response.
Syllable!
The result was just a second later......
The thick beam of electricity smashed on Hephaestus' chest on the spot.
The terrifying energy released in just a moment suddenly made his entire body fall back uncontrollably, and even the flame breath was forcibly interrupted, and at the same time, the uncontrollable violent convulsions under the muscles, and finally rolled down from the pile of treasures, his face full of shock and fear.
In particular, the area where it was hit clearly showed large signs of charred black carbonization.
He couldn't believe that with his size and strong vitality, he couldn't even bear a lightning breath, and he lost almost half of his life in an instant.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Hephaestus' blindness.
After all, if he could see it, he would find that Zuo Si, who had transformed into a dragon, had more than twice the length of his light body, and his height and weight showed an absolute advantage like crushing.
Under the backdrop of the huge blue dragon's body, the red dragon on the side is as "petite and cute" as a child who has not grown up.
What's more, after Zuo Si absorbed the power of Ivy Korasagran's "sharp teeth", the power of the lightning spout in his dragon form had already surpassed that of the latter.
Coupled with the spitting and spell extreme abilities granted by the [Supreme Talisman], it is even enough to surpass most legendary magic that is not very lethal in one bite.
To be precise, even the most powerful and hard-wearing of the five-colored dragons, the Red Dragon, could have died on the spot under this blow.
Fortunately, Hephaestus's age group is not low, and he is obviously equipped with equipment that increases spell resistance, so it is only a simple serious injury.
Zuo Si walked up unceremoniously, raised one front paw and directly pressed the opponent's head into the dirt, while the other front paw picked up the shattered magic crystal that fell to the ground, felt the power contained in it, and said in a slightly playful tone: "You know what? What I hate the most are brainless idiots, and idiots who toast and don't eat and drink! Unfortunately, you now have both. β
"Damn! If you want Clincinibbon, take it! Let me go! I didn't know you were a mighty primeval blue dragon! β
Hephaestus let out a reluctant, angry, and annoyed roar.
Although he was blind and couldn't see anything, he could still judge from the lightning breath just now, and the size and strength of the claws on the top of his head at this moment, that this uninvited guest was a human, and it was clearly an ancient blue dragon that was many times stronger than himself.
If he had known this, he would not have been stupid enough to take the initiative to attack.
"Sorry, it's late. Now, whether it's you or the Shattered Crystal, or the treasure in the lair, it's all my property. β
Zuo Si finally tore off his disguise and revealed the true purpose of his trip.
After all, he wanted a complete artifact, not just the thirty-centimeter-long crystal pillar.
Before Hephaestus could make any resistance, he was grabbed by a huge force and slammed into the wall made of solid rock next to him.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
With each impact, the red dragon's mouth, nose, and eye sockets would ooze a large amount of plasma, and his consciousness gradually began to freeze, and after three or five strokes, he completely fainted.
Without saying a word, he directly used the power of the spark to make two cards of Shattered Crystal and Hephaestus, and then combined the two cards into one.
In doing so, you get a creature card: Nether King.
Simply put, a dragon lich with a special template that combines an artifact with a red dragon.
Not only can this creature wield the power of the Shattered Shard at will, but it also has a powerful undead trait, which can summon the seven spirit lichs sealed within Klincinibon as needed, as well as the equally spirited Mind Flayer, Yin Haras Creek, to serve him.
And that's not all!
As the King of the Nether, he also has the power to transform and control undead creatures at will, and there is no upper limit at all, he can transform as much as he wants, and control as much as he wants.
But Zuo Si put so much thought into it, obviously not just to get a summoned creature with artifact abilities, but to have greater ambitions.
I saw him directly take out the diary awakened by the [Creator's] ability, and asked with great interest, "Are you interested in becoming a consciousness of Clincibong?" β
"Why me?" The diary asked suspiciously.
"It's easy! I wanted to use this card to fuse a floating city with great magical protection and attack, and to do something bold along the way.
To put it simply, it is unmanned, weaponized, and fortressed, and all its transformations exist for war and killing, and some dangerous research is carried out at the same time.
Except for you, who have the same memories and similar ways of thinking as me, no one else can do it. β
Zuo Si said his thoughts and plans straightforwardly.
After all, in addition to the already occupied Plantia Floating City, there are still seven floating cities whose whereabouts are unknown.
The most important thing is that none of these floating cities can obtain the highest authority through the corresponding code procedures like the Plantia Floating City, and even if they are successfully captured, they can only be used as a large multi-functional platform.
In this regard, Zuo Si has a total of two countermeasures, one is to find a way to find the Floating City of Horatis, get the incomplete part of the [Creator] profession, and finally be promoted to the [Legendary Creator], and directly awaken an independent consciousness to control the Floating City and activate it to a certain extent.
As for the other one, it is natural to use the powerful ability of the traveling mage to directly make a floating city into a card, and then use another creature card like the Nether King to fuse it.
In this way, the latter can not only become the supreme lord of the Floating City, but also give the Floating City a lot of additional power.
For example, the Shattered Crystal can not only draw energy from the sunlight, but also form a tower that can effectively resist all magical, psychic and physical attacks.
If these abilities are inherited or partially inherited by the entire Floating City during the fusion process, the Floating City will become a truly powerful magical fortress.
Of course, these are Zuo Si's conjectures and expectations, and what will happen after the real fusion is still a mystery for the time being.
It is precisely because I don't understand that I want to try.
Although failure may result in the loss of an artifact, or even a diary that carries one's own past thoughts and memories.
But if he had stopped just because he was afraid of losing, he would not have gotten to where he is today.
γ
Through the connection of the heart, the diary instantly understood what the master meant, and replied without thinking: "No problem! I'd love to have a body.
Sadly, however, the red dragon has been transformed into an undead form.
Otherwise, I can open a big harem in my floating city, and live a happy life without shame all day long.
At that time, what dragon mother, elf girl, human beauty, beast ear girl, mermaid girl, tree spirit, water goblin, succubus, pleasure demon, female angel, and desire demon will all be arranged.
If there is a chance to directly enter the 570th layer of the abyss, and then tie up the succubus queen Mecanshut back as a maid, then life will be perfect. β
Hearing these naked and undisguised words of the tiger and wolf, Zuo Si couldn't help but hold his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Your range of sexual interests is still wide enough!"
And meat and vegetarian are not taboo, not picky eaters at all.
I strongly doubt that something went wrong when I woke you up, otherwise I would have been full of these eighteen forbidden things.
At least I don't remember being as as you used to be. β
But the diary immediately sneered and retorted: "Ha! That's just because the morality, law, and your meager income in modern society are not enough to support these strong desires, so they are subconsciously suppressed.
Think about how much money the rich and powerful have played, and you should understand that my current performance is only releasing the pent-up part.
What's more, what's wrong with a man being a little perverted? β
"And now? I don't have these restraints now, but I also don't have the unbridled desire to vent my desires like you. Zuo Si unceremoniously questioned.
"You are not like me, because you have found something else to satisfy your desires and desires, so you are not dominated by your own instincts.
But I disagree, I am only a vehicle of memories and thoughts, and will follow the patterns of thinking and acting before you gain power.
And that's exactly why you woke me up in the first place. β
The diary was quick to give an explanation.
"I see! I think I get ......"
After Zuo Si nodded slightly, he immediately made the diary into a card, and then fused with the [Creature Card: Nether King].
As he expected, the former directly replaced the latter as the main consciousness after the fusion of the Red Dragon and the Shattered Demon Crystal, and the rest of the characteristics and abilities did not change at all.
Of course, the name of the card was changed to "Your Half".
Looking at the detailed description of this card, Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered, "Now that I have obtained the key, the next thing to do is to raise the level of the traveling mage to lv12 to lv13."
With so much energy, it is estimated that it can only be gathered by going to the bottomless abyss to slaughter demons.
I don't know how the Goddess of Fortune Church is preparing.
If you can save the land of holding gold and go to the territory of Six Fingers, you will definitely be able to make a big fuss.
Forget it, don't think about it yet, let's deal with the mess. β
With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si activated the magic teleportation again and returned directly to the Mage Tower in Askatra.
As soon as he appeared, he saw several giant werewolves that were more than two stories tall and six or seven meters tall standing in the open space of the dragon's lair, raising their heads and letting out a loud howl.
You don't have to ask, it's all because of the blood of the dire that werewolves brought back from the plane of Innistrad.
Even in Innistrad, no one knows why these oversized, terrifying werewolves have mutated so much.
You must know that in human form, they are only a little over two meters, and they do not exceed the limits of their species.
But when night falls, its size swells rapidly, and it is often easy for a person to climb over the walls of a town and then kill in a residential area, giving vent to his inner violence, bloodlust and wildness.
For this kind of thing that can greatly increase the power of summoned creatures, it is certainly impossible for Zuo Si not to be interested.
The problem is that in the first few experiments, all goblins or orcs infected with the Direwolf's curse went out of control during their first transformation.
Later, he was so busy that he had to temporarily abandon the entire research project to Habaser Delin.
But who would have thought that after only a few days of hard work, the other party actually made something.
In particular, this group of dire wolves, although their eyes also flashed with wild, bloodthirsty and brutal light, they did not lose their minds and attacked all the creatures around them indiscriminately.
Quite the opposite!
When the howl was over, they all sat still and waited for orders.
Habathar Delin obviously noticed Zuo Si, who had just been teleported back, and immediately walked over excitedly and reported: "Ah! Your Excellency, you are finally back. Look, I've just managed to create the first batch of dire wolves that can keep their sanity, and with the [Wolf Elixir] you invented, you can successfully transform even during the day. β
"How did you do that?" Zuo Si asked curiously.
Habaser Delin grinned and replied excitedly: "Hehe, it's actually nothing, I just discovered this evolved special curse, which actually has very high requirements for physique."
If the creature constitution attributes injected with the dire curse do not meet the standard, then it will be destroyed in the process of transformation in an instant, and eventually become a beast that only knows how to destroy and kill.
But if the physique attribute is high enough, you can withstand that terrible pain and gain strength far more than several times that of ordinary wolves.
According to my successive tests, it has been estimated that the critical point of the physique attribute should be between 16 and 18 points, which varies from person to person.
And the higher the physique attributes, the larger the body size after transformation.
This means that you only need to drink a bottle of magic potion that temporarily increases your constitution attributes before transforming to complete the process.
Generally speaking, if a goblin is infected with a normal Werewolf Curse and then a Dire Curse, its strength stat can be increased by at least 16 points instantly.
Combined with the original eight to ten o'clock, it can reach an astonishing twenty-four to twenty-six points, which is equivalent to the level of the hill giant.
However, the Dire Goblin's physique, agility, and intelligence stats are significantly higher than those of the Hillmen.
If adequate nutrition and exercise are provided during the growth process, some excellent individual strength attributes can reach more than twenty-seven points, which is comparable to Golem.
And that's just ordinary goblins!
Replace them with goblins, orcs, bear goblins, and gnolls, as well as the many half-drakes you've raised......
I dare to swear with my own life box that I will definitely be able to create a powerful army in a short period of time with individual combat power comparable to the Frost Giants, Fire Giants, and even the Genting Giants and Storm Giants.
On top of that, the Dire Curse is not as easy to exploit by enemies as a normal Werewolf Curse.
Quite the opposite!
Even if a soldier survives the battlefield and escapes back to the city, he will quickly transform into an irrational beast after dark and go on a killing spree.
In other words, until the connection between the Direwolf Curse and the Constitution stats is known, even if they try to infect their own soldiers with the blood of the Direwolf, they will only end up hastening their own demise.
In addition, if a dire wolf soldier dies on the battlefield, its corpse can also be pulled up and turned into a zombie through necromancy to continue to participate in the next attack.
So I suggest you start building a dire legion right away, it's the perfect cannon fodder that's really powerful, cheap, and quick to replenish.
At the same time, the Dire Curse should be listed as the top secret of the organization, and the core members should not be allowed to disclose it to the outside world in any form. β
"Sounds like a good idea."
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and was obviously moved.
Because as Habather Delin described, it is too cheap to raise an army infected with both werewolves and dire curses, and with a little training, combat effectiveness is definitely enough to crush the professional armies of most of the countries on the continent of Faeron.
It's not just Pheren, it's the rest of the world.
After all, the huge size and strength of six or seven meters tall, combined with the protection brought by thick hair, rushing into the crowd is equivalent to a humanoid bulldozer.
Not to mention the incredible destructive power it can do if it is equipped with sturdy armor and high-quality weapons.
In addition, werewolves themselves have a very powerful ability to heal themselves, as long as they don't die on the spot, even if they are seriously injured, they will recover quickly in a short time.
If you add it to the goblins, a species that can spawn a large number of explosives in a short period of time, it is simply an excellent combination.
Use a genetically modified and obedient dire goblin as a low-level soldier, and let a goblin or half-dragon creature who is also infected with the direwolf curse as an officer, and you can build a strong and numerous legion in minutes.
Of course, in the process of growing up ordinary goblins, they also need to be trained in a series of militarization, at least a few months, at most half a year.
The only downside is that this legion can consume a staggering amount of meat.
On the Innistrad plane, a dire wolf eats at least about the same amount of flesh as his own human form every day, or about two hundred kilograms.
Fortunately!
The meat doesn't have to come from land, fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish in the water are fine.
Zuo Si only needs to go to the other side of the earth to buy a few large fishing boats, and then go crazy fishing in the endless sea of the floating city world.
Anyway, to maintain a 10,000-strong army of dire wolves, the annual consumption of meat is less than 80,000 tons.
In the rich sea, where there are no boats to fish, this is not even a drop in the bucket.
You must know that the magic plague was only a continent in the first place, and even other continents and islands were not affected, let alone the vast ocean.
On top of that, you can also make a few more group summoning cards that can be made directly into the Brigade Mage.
With the current spark level of lv11, it shouldn't be a problem to cram 3,000 to 5,000 dire goblins into a single card.
After thinking about this, Zuo Si immediately ordered: "Just do as you say."
The most robust males and females are selected from among the most obedient goblin managers to mate, and the offspring born are all given to the goblin officers for rigorous training, and they are given plenty of food and nutrition.
In half a year, I want to see a strong, elite, 100% obedient army of dire wolves.
Not only ordinary goblins, but also try to catch as many orcs, goblins, bear goblins, gnolls and ogres as possible from the outside.
We now have a Mind Flayer Mastermind that can tamper with its memories on a large scale.
If I'm not mistaken, north of Cloudmist Mountain, near Candlefort, there should be a lot of gnolls and goblin tribes. β
"Understood! Leave it to me. β
Habaser Delin's eyes lit up with one hand on his chest, and he bowed slightly.
He could already imagine how powerful the organization would be when the Dire Legion took shape.
Not to mention anything else, just playing the game of redemption can play the enemy alive until it collapses and disintegrates.
The Harpermen's League and the Santarin's are big enough, right?
But how many of them are spies and spies combined?
It is estimated that it is not even two or three thousand!
How many of these members can kill the dire goblins in one-on-one combat?
A: Definitely no more than two hundred.
If a conflict breaks out at that time, all you need to do is constantly send dire wolf goblins to hunt them down indiscriminately.
Under the premise that the opponent's high-level forces are restrained by the core members of the organization and dare not easily move, it will not be long before the enemy's entire organization will eventually collapse or even perish due to a large number of attrition.
After all, a dire wolf goblin can be replenished anytime and anywhere, and it only takes two months for a small goblin to grow up from birth to growth......
Yes!
After a series of genetic screening, hormone ratio optimization and magic ripening technology iterations, the growth cycle of these goblins has been shortened a lot, but the lifespan has not been reduced, but has been improved because of "scientific breeding".
Although the goblins in their natural state can theoretically live for more than eighty years, they have also increased from the original fifteen years old to about forty years old.
Although most of them rarely survive even three or five years, they will die from various accidents or live experiments......
In addition, in line with the principle of waste utilization, Zuo Si also forced the goblins to believe in the Phoenix God he created not long ago, so that when the time is ripe, he will summon Bennu's incarnation as another hole card for himself.
In fact, the plan went much more smoothly than expected.
Imprisoned in a vast labyrinth underground, the goblins have always been very hungry for faith.
Because the priests, priests, and elders who were able to guide them to believe in the goblin gods had been wiped out in the first wave of purges, and now they couldn't even call out the names of a god.
This situation is similar to the fact that in the city of the Dark Elves, most of the Dark Elves only know the name of the spider goddess Rose, but not the names of the other gods.
To put it bluntly, it is to establish a relatively closed society to prohibit the infiltration of other gods, thus forming a monopoly of faith.
In particular, the death rate of goblins who are rented to dangerous jobs in docks, warehouses, mines, etc., is always very high, and once they leave the mage tower, there is basically no chance to return to the underground labyrinth.
Even if an employment contract ends, it is immediately sent to the next employer.
Just as Habasat Delin was about to turn around and leave, wanting to take people to the north of the Yunwu Mountains to capture the jackals first, Zuo Si suddenly stopped him from behind.
"Wait! I almost forgot to ask, you didn't have any trouble taking over the Red Robe Wizard's stronghold and concession on the West Coast before? β
Habaser hurriedly stopped, shook his head, and responded, "Of course not! In the battle of Luskan, the red-robed wizard has realized your strength, so the handover process is extremely smooth.
Sazastan even sent emissaries, hoping to make peace with us and make some deals.
However, according to our investigation, the reason why he put on this posture is actually because after returning to Serre, he and Aznar Slur quickly won over a new chief, so that the balance of power between the two factions was restored again.
Despite Sazastan's attempts to challenge the parliament and remove Aznar Slur from the title of chief, the vote was ultimately unsuccessful.
In such a situation, as long as he is not crazy, he will never choose to come to us for trouble. β
"Sounds like good news. What about the operating conditions of these concessions and strongholds? Zuo Si continued to ask.
"Overall it was good.
Although in the beginning, many local powers were skeptical about whether we could provide a steady stream of scrolls, potions, and magical items like the red-robed wizards.
But after a few months of getting along, I still won their trust.
On top of that, we're not as notorious as the red-robed wizards, and we always like to mix up some intrigue in the dark, so we're very popular with the locals.
So far, these places have accumulated profits of more than 600,000 gold coins, and have also acquired many useful materials, books, and treasures from ancient times. β
As he said this, a smug smile appeared on Habasser's face.
Because he chose to join the organization in the first place, it was because his interests in Baldur's Gate were violated by the red-robed wizards, so he decided to turn into a lich in a fit of anger and find a backer for himself to fight back.
But who would have thought that Habasat originally thought that he might have to fight a tug-of-war for several years or even more than ten years, but it didn't take long for the winner to be divided.
In particular, the operation of directly blowing up the stronghold established by the red-robed wizard in Baldur's Gate made him feel more refreshed than ever before, who was used to following the rules.
Later, after taking over these strongholds and concessions, the archmage who was proficient in crafting all kinds of magical items and equipment secretly vowed to make some achievements for others to see.
Now, facing the leader of the organization, he can finally hand in an answer sheet that he is at least quite satisfied with.
"Well done! Keep it up, and I'll have some extra and fun gadgets from the Floating City side in the future. Zuo Si praised without hesitation.
"Hahahaha! Then I'm going to look forward to it. β
Habahar let out a hearty laugh before disappearing at the end of the tunnel leading deeper underground.
After he was completely away, Vermes, who had been hiding and eavesdropping for a long time, came over, stared at the dire wolf goblins who were test subjects with slightly curious eyes and asked, "Do you really plan to form an army composed entirely of such monsters?" β
"Ahh That's right! Because they are not only quite powerful, but also cheap enough to replenish quickly, why should I not use them? β
Zuo Si said as he found all the werewolf cards that had been infected with the beast curse from his library, and prepared to upgrade them all.
After all, with a two-story tall direwolf, who would look down on those ordinary werewolves who are only more than two meters old.
Anyway, as long as you pay a little attention, give those creature cards with no more than sixteen points of constitution attributes, and each creature with an additional bottle of temporary increase in constitution attributes.
"Damn! Sounds enviable. If only I had such a legion, I could conquer a country directly and easily. β
Vermes stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes inadvertently revealing strong ambition and desire.
You don't need to ask, this guy must be imagining the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of dire wolf armies destroying the field on the field, and his own fire breath falling from the sky, and finally achieving the name of "Dragon King" and "Tyrant".
Zuo Si raised his head and glanced at the red dragon who was close to Chi Qi, and chuckled and teased: "With your current strength level, don't expect to be a dragon king."
The real dragon king is not a half-like you, whether it is hand-to-hand combat, spitting and magic, he can reach a very high level.
On top of that, almost all dragonlords have a lot of life protection gems equipped to protect themselves from mortal injuries, but you don't have one. β
"How do you know this?"
Vermes frowned, as if sensing something was wrong.
"It's easy! Because I just teamed up with Sean VII to kill Ivy Korasagran "Sharp Teeth" not long ago.
There are hundreds of Life Jewels destroyed in battle alone.
On top of that, there's plenty of super spitting potions, magic scrolls, and dragon-exclusive gear.
See this necklace around my neck?
It is a secondary artifact [Supreme Talisman] that grants the dragon extreme spit and extreme spell abilities. β
As he spoke, Zuo Si pointed to the jewel-encrusted necklace he had just changed into around his neck.
As a red dragon, valuing all sorts of magical items, gems, arts, and crafts is an innate ability for Vermes.
So she just glanced at it, and her breathing immediately became solemn, as if she had a filial piety, she kept inhaling and exhaling, and her face was full of undisguised greed and longing.
Because no dragon can resist the temptation of the Supreme Talisman!
