Unlike many people who become unscrupulous after gaining great power, always looking to kill, destroy, and loot to get what they want.

Zuo Si, who has received a lot of modern education, has always believed that violence, like war, is the ultimate means to solve problems and achieve goals.

Unless absolutely necessary, if there are other methods, it is best not to use them.

Because once a conflict escalates to the level of fighting and war, it means that there is no room for de-escalation.

It is necessary to fight until the winner is completely separated or both sides have suffered heavy losses and cannot continue.

With the level of strength that Zuo Si has reached now, if he doesn't do it well, he will establish an eternal enemy.

So he tends to be very cautious in choosing his targets and how to deal with them.

Especially in the face of creatures like gods, try to choose to cooperate if you can, trade if you can't cooperate, and then use threats, intimidation and other ways to force the other party to give in.

Dealing with gods such as the spider goddess Rose and the goddess of the night, such as Shar, who are always restless and kind, Zuo Si basically adopts this strategy.

Even if they decide to do it, they will first try to find a way to isolate the other party, and then find the opportunity to pull a large number of allies to launch a righteous group fight.

So far, in fact, the only god who has really dealt with it is Shirek, the prince of lies.

As for the spore god, Angel Poison Core, he was not a complete god in the strict sense, and he was crippled by the Divine Impact Scepter before he could even figure out all the power he had.

Although Iuz is only a demigod, he has established a realm within his empire called the Land of Bones, which is said to have been created with the bones of countless people and many evil magic and divine powers.

As long as you are in it, you can get an amazing combat power bonus.

Although he did not go to the outer planes to establish his own kingdom, he was not completely powerless.

At least it would be very difficult for the battle avatars of the other gods to defeat Iuz in this realm, otherwise a good god such as the sun god Pero would have come down and hammered this troublemaker to death.

After all, there is no god pressure in the Gray Eagle world, and Iuz is still the heir of the demon lord Grazt, no matter how you look at it, it should be classified as the enemy of the gods.

Even if you really want to take it down, I'm afraid you will have to expose several hole cards.

In the end, after a short period of weighing the pros and cons, Zuo Si chose to cooperate with the other party.

As for the price Iuz paid, of course, it was a lot of useful information and secrets about this world.

This includes the lore and possible whereabouts of several artifacts, as well as the unknown privacy of his father and mother.

In short, in one word.

As long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

In return, Zuo Si not only promised not to target him, but also to provide some support in his capacity as the ninth layer lord of Bato's hell in times of need.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zuo Si always feels that the "filial son" he has encountered recently is really a little too much.

Kurremos is one, the adopted son of the caravan leader is also the same, as is the demonic demigod Iuz.

Is this what fate is suggesting?

Maybe you should take a trip to Azeroth next door and witness the famous scene of Arthas, the most famous "filial son", and his father, Terenus Minehir, and his father, Terenus Minehir?

When the time comes, write these stories down, and make an alternative version of "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" to spread in the multiverse, encouraging those sons and daughters who have the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief to act quickly?

From the perspective of hell and the devil, this can undoubtedly greatly increase the power of the evil camp, and even package it as a spirit of rebellion against patriarchal autocracy with lies, distorting people's perceptions through constant beautification.

Just as Zuosi sent Iuz off and turned to leave the cave, his brain began to diverge his thoughts, a familiar figure stood in his way back to the caravan.

Bald, with a goatee, eagle-sharp eyes, only a black velvet coat without too much ornateness, and a +5 Staff of Blazing Power that looks like a double-edged sword connected by three rings in the middle.

Obviously, there is only one person dressed in Gray Eagle, and that is Duncan, the most powerful of the mortal mages today.

Since when Iuz appeared just now, in order to prevent Zuo Si from making a sudden move, he summoned some power from the bottomless abyss.

The two of them, which were mixed together through the mycelial spores of the fungus lady and their own divine powers, obviously had a certain impact on the surrounding environment, and then attracted the attention of Demon Duncan.

He had been searching for Zuo Si's traces around, and when he found it, he quickly rushed over to check the situation.

The two of them stared at each other for more than ten seconds, and finally it was Demon Duncan who broke the silence and took the lead in asking, "When did you get involved with the demon of the bottomless abyss?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, the remnants of the abyssal power in the cave behind me didn't make it, but Iuz." Zuo Si gave an innocent explanation.

After all, he was really innocent this time.

Whether he was forcibly summoned, or accidentally involved in a power struggle and conspiracy within the caravan that led to a relationship with a demon demigod, he had no idea of taking the initiative to do something.

"Old man?"

Hearing Iuz's name, Demon Duncan's expression quickly became serious, and he frowned and continued to probe: "Why did he show up? Normally, you shouldn't be enemies, are you? ”

As a legendary mage capable of transdimensional teleportation and having spent a lot of time exploring the mysteries of the outer planes, he clearly knew what Zuo Si had done in the abyss.

Be more aware of the feud between Zuosi, Workin, the goddess of wealth of Faeron, and Grazt.

The most important thing is that he has already been to the ninth layer of Bato's hell, and he has also bought a lot of interesting goods and specialties in the cyberpunk city, and knows the identity of the Great Devil of Zuosi.

Therefore, from any point of view, it is normal for the two to have a hostile relationship.

And judging by the situation on the spot, there was no fighting between the two sides.

Otherwise, a radius of several kilometers or even more than a dozen kilometers will be turned into a scorched earth under the impact of the terrifying battle.

This had to make Duncan have a lot of associations and speculations.

Zuo Si replied with a smile, "We should indeed be enemies, at least before we met.

But after meeting, I found out that he is not actually the same as Six Fingers, but is just using the latter's power to strengthen himself.

What's more, he gave so much that I didn't even know how to refuse.

Don't worry, the agreement between me and him does not include changes to the current situation of the Greyhawk, but only cooperation in the outer planes. ”

"What's the matter with those dark elves who summoned you?"

Demon Duncan asked again quietly.

In his opinion, this matter is full of an unusual weirdness from beginning to end.

After all, normally speaking, if those Drow summoned Zuosi to achieve a certain purpose or complete a transaction, then they should return as soon as they find out that the summoning was successful.

But the real situation is that the sacrifice of the spider goddess Rose did not want to kill it back at all, but after the mage of "Yaba" left, Zuo Si easily left to destroy the circle and seal.

"You ask me?

How could I possibly know.

In fact, I'm still confused about this matter.

You might not believe it, but I was still doing some magical experiments when I was summoned.

But the drow had apparently used something incredibly powerful, and I was always distracted and unable to concentrate, so I could only throw a projection and let them pull it.

And for your sake, I didn't do anything to the eight-leaf mage who took the initiative to attack.

So I'm a victim in this matter.

Even if there may be any conspiracy in it, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.

To be exact, this is the first time I have been forced to respond to prayers, sacrifices, and summonings since I became the ninth lord of Bato's Hell. ”

Zuo Si very simply stated his position and situation.

Although he had already guessed a little bit about what those Rose's followers were doing such a big move, he would definitely not reveal it to the archmage with a strong hairstyle in front of him.

"Forcibly summoned?"

Demon Duncan instantly grasped a key word, and at the same time, he recalled the shattered powder placed on the top of the stone pillar in his mind, and instantly understood the effect of the red crystal.

If nothing else, this should be a secondary artifact designed to enhance the summoning effect.

Only the power of the sub-artifact can forcibly summon the projection of a great devil in the lower plane.

It is important to know that under normal circumstances, if the caster wants to summon a powerful alien creature, it usually needs the consent of the other party to succeed.

Especially the Demon Lord of the Abyss and the Great Devil of Bato's Hell, if the conditions set by the summoner and his own intentions arouse him, there is a high probability that even if the magic ritual does not go wrong, it will most likely fail.

After all, if this level of power could be summoned casually, the various main material planes would have been chaotic a long time ago.

But it's not without exceptions.

The witch queen of the Gray Eagle World, Igvirvo, with her genius mind, has invented a powerful spell type of magic, which can ignore the will of Grazter himself and directly forcibly summon one of his projections to fight or serve herself.

Of course, it is not excluded that Six Fingers knew that he just did not explicitly refuse, and let this mortal "strange woman" who dared to rape him borrow a little insignificant power.

In a small game like this that loves and kills each other, the lustful dark lord should probably enjoy it.

The theoretical basis for the creation of this magic by Igvirvo has also been passed down in the form of notes in the hands of many evil forces.

Figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Demon Duncan obviously relaxed a lot.

He could now be sure that Zuo Si in front of him was not his enemy, at least not for the time being.

And cooperating with Iuz, who has always admired maintaining the balance between good and evil, doesn't think there's anything wrong with it at all.

After all, Demon Duncan himself has cooperated with the demon forces more than once, and then quickly rebelled after the other party's forces overexpanded, leading his army to launch a backstab directly on the spot.

It can be said that the speed and reason of his turn on the face are such that even the demons, who are known for their capriciousness and freewheeling, are willing to bow down.

It can even be said that all camps and forces in the entire Gray Eagle World have no trust in Demon Duncan and the private army under his command.

Whenever they appear on the battlefield, both sides will immediately raise their vigilance and assume a defensive posture, and will not relax until they have clearly chosen who to attack.

If it weren't for the strength of Demon Duncan and Yaba, he himself showed great potential to become a god, so that his forces would not dare to offend him to death, otherwise with such a behavior pattern, I am afraid that he would have been beaten by the two sides by joining forces and pressing on the ground first.

However, Mo Duncan obviously didn't care about the eyes and evaluations of the unexpected world, let alone felt that there was anything wrong with maintaining his balance, he looked at and analyzed the strength of Zuo Si's projection, and after a long while, he nodded slightly: "Okay, I believe you were forced to get involved in some unknown conspiracy." What's next? ”

"Nothing special.

Since you have come to Oss, it is natural to walk around, take a look, and appreciate the customs of this world.

After all, this is just a projection, and it doesn't have the power of the ontological brigade mage, let alone pose any threat to the gods, so you don't need to be so nervous.

And I'm curious to know what the dark elves who summoned me have in mind. ”

Zuo Si spread his hands and put on a very indifferent and relaxed look.

"I'm sorry, it's hard not to feel nervous about what you've done on the Continent of Faeron, the Bato Hell, and the Bottomless Abyss.

Because your potential for destruction and lethality is just too terrifying.

For any civilization in the world, it means a catastrophe of the level of annihilation.

Even if it's just a projection, it's still not to be underestimated.

If you can, I'd like you to take this ring with you when you are in Os.

It allows me to get in touch with you and lock down your location as soon as I need to. ”

As he spoke, Demon Duncan pulled out an unremarkable silver magic ring from his pocket.

Obviously, this was a naked and undisguised temptation.

In this way, he wanted to further judge the danger.

If Zuo Si agrees to wear the ring, it means that the willingness to take the initiative to do things is very low, and theoretically as long as there is no external stimulus, there will be no overreaction.

But if he doesn't agree, Duncan will immediately go back and make a contingency plan in case of emergency.

I have to say that the two have a very striking similarity in terms of never trusting others but only themselves.

"No problem, I accept it."

Zuo Si didn't hesitate at all, and directly took the ring from the other party's injury and put it on his empty finger.

This move immediately lowered Demon Duncan's vigilance to the lowest point.

In the time that followed, they talked about the current situation of Greyhawk, the relationship between the gods, the power game, and what needed special attention.

After explaining this, Demon Duncan also gave Zuo Si his teleportation permission to the Obsidian Base Mage Tower, and welcomed him as a guest, and then used his teleportation magic to leave.

Feeling the power contained in the magic ring in his hand, Zuo Si couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "Communication, tracking and positioning?"

You think you can monitor me in real time with this thing?

How naïve!

Even if I remove my spell casting level and knowledge, the Devil's Divine Power alone can easily transform and shield it.

After all, creating things out of thin air is one of the most basic abilities of gods and god-like powers. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si's palm released a ball of fire from the deepest part of Bato's hell, directly wrapped the ring and quickly melted into molten iron, and then reshaped and took on a dark color like red copper.

Not only that, but the top of the ring is also set with a ruby that exudes the smell of hell as an accent.

After all of this was done, he cast his teleportation spell and returned directly to the vicinity of the caravan camp.

As soon as I appeared, I immediately saw quite an interesting scene.

I saw Isadore, who was an adopted son, holding a long sword on the neck of the chief's daughter, Anne.

As for several of his close friends, they were now half-beaten and trapped on ropes and couldn't move.

The rest of the escapees, including the leader of the caravan, were forming a circle with weapons in hand, glaring angrily at the traitor.

"Stand back! Everyone back off! Or I'll kill her!" ”

Isadore roared like mad to hide the tension, panic, and despair in his heart.

He couldn't believe that his foolproof plan could go wrong.

You must know that a few years ago, when Iuz had just begun to spread his faith and expand his power, he secretly joined the sect, initially just eager to gain power and power.

But who knows, instead of gaining power and power, they have to pass on information and provide information they know under the threat and intimidation of the other party, and occasionally secretly carry some contraband in the caravan and send it to the designated recipient.

If something goes wrong, they are immediately punished severely, and they taste the pain of whips and torture instruments.

As a young apprentice merchant, Isador was terrified of the church for a long time and wanted to flee from it all the time.

But as he spent more time with the church and made more and more contributions, he gradually became promoted to the lowest level of exploitation and oppression.

The so-called "dead friends" were the ones who had been planted into the caravans with the help of the Church.

Using his dealings with other businessmen in the caravan, this guy gathered a lot of useful information for the Church.

The latter reaped a staggering amount of money through kidnapping and looting alone, while also forcing other merchants to join the church in the service of Iuz's evil plans.

It is precisely because he has gotten rid of the state of exploitation and oppression at the bottom, and can even exploit and oppress others, that Isado's thinking and mentality have begun to change, and he even enjoys this feeling a little.

However, he also knew that the reputation of this demon demigod he believed in was not very good in many places, so he never revealed his faith and the church organization behind it, and planned to wait for his adoptive father to become old and unable to take the position, and then find a way to replace all the other members of the caravan with obedient subordinates.

But who knew that just when everything seemed to be going very well, he killed a left thought halfway, and it only took two days to make his psychological imbalance, and he made preparations in advance in the strong feelings of jealousy and resentment.

Isardo first mixed his men into the team to fetch water, then attacked them one by one to knock them out before they were prepared, and then notified the orcs hidden in the secret stronghold of the forest to help kill them.

But what he never expected was that all these guys who should have died now escaped alive and knew the truth.

In desperation, he had no choice but to kidnap the leader's daughter Anne first to ensure that he would not be cut by a thousand cuts.

Don't think that the merchants of this world will follow the concept of "harmony makes money".

Quite the opposite!

Their business model is actually closer to armed escort, everyone will carry weapons with them, and if necessary, they will fight monsters and bandits in the way.

It is impossible to work in this industry for several years without blood on your hands.

Therefore, there will be no psychological burden at all in such a thing as killing people and throwing corpses in the wild.

Especially when the target is still an enemy and almost kills himself.

"Let go of Annie! I can get you out alive! ”

The leader of the caravan obviously did not want his daughter to be harmed, and decisively made a negotiation condition.

However, he was shrewd and said "I" to let you go, instead of saying "we".

This means that others still retain the right to take revenge.

Isador is not a fool to be able to mix in a cult organization for so long and not die, he immediately heard the language trap in it, and sneered and sarcastically said: "Dear adoptive father, do you think I am a three-year-old child?

I want to play such a word game!

If you don't want Anne to be hurt or killed, all of you must swear by your gods at once, and you will never take any threatening actions afterwards.

Otherwise, after death, the soul will fall into the abyss and become the food of the demons. ”

I have to say that Isado's request is really quite vicious.

After all, in a world with gods and magical powers, swearing in the name of your own patron saint will most likely be fulfilled if you violate it.

This means that once the person present has made an oath, he will be forced to give up the idea of killing him.

No one wants to let their souls fall into the abyss after death.

Just as the caravan leader and the others looked at each other, wondering whether they should let the bastard go, Isado's hand holding the sword was suddenly grabbed by the other hand, followed by being bent little by little in the face of overwhelming power superiority, and finally there was a crisp sound of snapping bones, and the whole person fell to his knees and let out a scream like killing pigs.

"Ahhh!!!!!!hhh I...... My wrist! ”

"It is quite rude to use a sharp weapon to hold and threaten to kill a young and beautiful lady."

Zuo Si slowly walked out of the darkness, still with the faint smile on his face.

"Die! Ungrateful jugger! ”

Anne, who had escaped, was obviously very angry, and immediately raised her leg and kicked it hard at the vital part between Isadore's legs.

Bang!

The sound of "chickens flying and eggs beating" instantly echoed in everyone's ears, making all men subconsciously clamp their legs, and the expressions on their faces should have phantom pain.

As for Isado, his eyes bulged out in pain, his body twitched uncontrollably, and his mouth kept foaming at the mouth.

Without saying a word, the leader of the caravan, who had long been full of rage, rushed up, picked up the blunt frame of his one-handed axe, and smashed the limbs of the adopted son with a few blows, and then dragged the broken ankle to the open space away from the campfire, and roared viciously: "You just wait here for death!"

It won't be long before the beasts and wolves of the forest will come to them smelling blood.

Then you will taste the taste of being eaten alive.

Believe me, this will be the best punishment for your ungrateful betrayal. ”

"Nope! You can't do this to me! It's all the outsider's fault! He was the one who snatched what was supposed to belong to me first! ”

Isador seemed to have foreseen his tragic end, and immediately shouted loudly with all his strength.

It's a pity that things have developed to this point, and no one will forgive him for what he did.

Especially after knowing that his beliefs are evil Iuz.

And what made Isado even more broken was that with the help of the light of the campfire in the distance, he witnessed Anne, who should have been his wife, at the last moment of his life, and took the initiative to give Zuo Si a passionate kiss.

He had been looking forward to such a kiss for seven years, but he never got it until he died.

There is no doubt that this is an in-person NTR.

Thinking that the two might have further intimacy in the future, Isado's heart was filled with irrepressible pain, anger, and resentment.

Fortunately, the intense thrill didn't last long, and was quickly replaced by the fear of death.

As the caravan leader said, the smell of blood is very easy to attract wolves and other predators in the forest.

After all, bleeding means injury, and injured prey is far easier to catch than uninjured prey.

With a pair of eyes flashing green from the darkness and a creepy roar, a group of dire wolves, even bigger and more terrifying than ordinary wolves, came out of the darkness.

"Don't ...... Stay back! I don't care about you! I'm not your food! ”

Isado was visibly frightened by the sharp fangs and stench of the wolf's mouth, and squirmed desperately to distance himself and head.

But after confirming that the prey had no ability to resist, the dinosaur immediately howled and swarmed and dismembered it alive by biting it.

He wailed for three or four minutes before finally taking his last breath from blood loss.

With the death of the body, the soul soon breaks free from its bondage and begins to report to the gods it has served in life.

Just when Isadomin was in a nervous mood, not knowing what Iuz would do with him, another force instantly enveloped him.

Next Second......

He suddenly felt the sky spin, and a huge crack suddenly appeared out of thin air, sucking the soul into it.

When I woke up again, I found myself in a huge river, and was drifting forward by the rushing water.

Some creatures that look like devils are busy on the river to retrieve souls and send them to the shore.

Styx!

Isado instantly understood where he was.

After all, he had read some of the books provided by the church, and he knew a little bit about the outer planes.

I just don't understand that I should report to the gods I serve?

Why did you suddenly come to the Bato Hell, where the River Styx flows?

Just when Isador was puzzled, the devil on a ship dragged him to the deck with a tool, grinned and said to his companion next to him, "Hahahaha!

Look!

Another soul marked by the ninth level!

And it's also marked by the great Lord of Soth himself!

I don't know if this guy should be considered lucky or unlucky. ”

"Soth? Suzerain! ”

Isado's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

For he remembers very well that the outsider who had brought him to this point called himself Soth.

"That's right!

Although I don't quite know exactly what happened.

But the god you believe in has apparently sold your soul to Lord Soth, Lord of the Ninth Level, Lord of Hell appointed by Asmodes, Lord of Hell.

Believe me, when you are sent to the ninth level, the devil there will definitely take extra care of you. ”

As he said this, the devil in charge of salvaging and transporting the soul showed a gloating expression.

Moment!

Isardo seemed to understand something, and sat down on the boat with a thud, his whole body holding his head and completely collapsed and despaired.

He couldn't believe that his insanely jealous "little white face" was actually a big devil who could rival the gods, a terrifying monster that could crush him to death a thousand or ten thousand times with the touch of a finger.

What's even more terrifying is that he actually tried every possible means to get rid of the other party, and put it into action.

It's over!

When you reach the ninth level, what kind of torture, abuse, and pain will you have to face with the devils?

If I had known the truth, I would still be jealous!

Maybe they will send the chief's daughter, Anne, to the other party's bed for him to eat.

Isn't it just wearing a green hat, what a big deal?

Maybe the half-devil who is born will grow into a demigod like Iuz.

At that time, the benefits that my adoptive father can get from it are unimaginable.

But now it's too late.

The more Isador thought about it, the more he regretted it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no hope for the future, only a darkness that could not be reached, curled up in a ball and shivering.

If it had been another soul, the devil in charge of salvage would have whipped it a long time ago.

However, they have very rare tolerance and sympathy for this unlucky bastard.

Because in the ninth layer of Bato's hell, when the fallen soul is oppressed, it is not only the physical torture and torture, but also the spirit.

According to rumors, the latter can even make people go crazy to ignore physical pain, and can squeeze out several times more divine energy than usual.

……

Just when the projection of the Gray Eagle World was enjoying the young girl's active embrace, while waiting for the spider goddess Rose to contact him, Zuo Si's body, which was far away in the Faren Continent, was not idle.

To be precise, by employing a large number of adventurers at any cost and cost, he has found several suspicious targets in the Oblivion Desert, and is considering whether to go and dig in person or send one of his men to do it for him.

Digging in the desert created by this magic and divine power is no easy task.

In order not to alarm the gods of Mulholland, it is definitely not possible to use powerful magical powers, and it is also not possible to use too advanced oil machinery.

It can only be mined bit by bit by workers, undead creatures, and constructs using primitive tools.

And when excavating, we must be extra careful, try not to damage the buildings buried under the yellow sand and the various words and symbols remaining on the surface.

Because these things are most likely the clues to reveal and open the seal of the "God Butcher" Penderim Crystal Prison.

Just as Zuo Si was hesitating, the fat and pale figure of the "immortal" Ovo suddenly broke in from outside.

Thanks to the fact that the entrance door is designed according to the size of the steel golem, otherwise it would be stuck if it was replaced by a normal door, with its width eighty percent.

As soon as he walked through the door, Ovo immediately said in an excited tone, "My young friend, have you heard of the [Kadarin Magic Stone]? ”

"[Kadarin Magic Stone]? Do you mean the kind of stone that was widely used by the Saruk Witch as early as the Creator's time, and was later discovered by the Nethriel Arcanist Elorian once again to store magical powers? ”

Zuo Si's face suddenly showed an expression of interest.

Because in terms of rank, this thing can be classified as a secondary artifact.

Unlike the Ainite, which is closer in appearance to a gemstone, it looks like black shale and is very, very brittle for the sole purpose of storing spells.

Doesn't that sound like storing magic in gems?

In fact, the modern gem storage technology of the Faren Continent was developed from the [Kadarin Magic Stone].

It's just that the spells stored by the [Kadarin Magic Stone] don't need to be activated, but just throw them out.

This stone automatically shatters when it hits a hard object and unleashes the spell.

In other words, if you have 100 [Kadarin Magic Stones] stored in the Three-Ring Fireball Technique, you can throw them all out in an instant to deal 100 Three-Ring Fireball Magic damage, and directly kill the target in seconds.

Therefore, throughout the Netharil era, the [Kadarin Magic Stone] is an out-and-out top-notch strategic material, and each Floating City will store some in case of emergency.

The Grand Arcanists also used this stone and dragon magic to create dragon-like creatures made up of Kadarin Magic Stones all over their bodies.

With just one command, this construct-body dragon can release the corresponding magic by consuming the scales carved with [Kadarin Magic Stones] of different sizes on its body, which is equivalent to carrying a super constructor that stores and releases magic with it.

Later, with the fall of Nethariel, the number of [Kadarin Magic Stones] circulating in the market became smaller and smaller, and now it is almost impossible to see.

Even if a piece appears occasionally, it usually only stores one to three rings of spells, and sells for up to 20,000 gold coins.

In the case of not being able to achieve large-scale popularization, its role is limited to adventurers taking it out at critical moments to save their lives.

Ovo grinned and nodded, "Yes, it's the kind of stone that can store magic. Two days ago, when I had arranged for a group of apprentices to go to the Great Desert of Enoch in the ruins of Nethriel in the north, one of the little fellows found this in the depths of an abandoned and collapsed mineshaft. ”

As he spoke, the Grand Arcanist pulled out a black rock slightly larger than a fingernail from his pocket.

Zuo Si took it and felt it a little, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and asked in a tone that was not very sure: "What do you mean...... In this abandoned and collapsed mine, is it possible that there are a large number of [Kadarin Magic Stones] that have not been mined in the Netharil era? ”

"Exactly!

I've checked some of Netharre's archives and found that the mine doesn't belong to any of the Floating Cities or Grand Arcanists.

This means that it should have been illegally mined.

In order to avoid being caught, the discoverers certainly do not dare to carry out large-scale excavation, and they also have to strictly control the amount of money that enters the market.

Therefore, according to the exploration of the site, the depth of the mine is very shallow, and the deepest part is only less than 30 meters above the surface.

There must be more Kadarin Magic Stones down there that haven't been mined.

It's an amazing asset!

It can help us restore the great wealth of Netherel Ronon! ”

Owo opened his arms and announced in an excited tone.

In his opinion, this is simply a good sign of the imminent revival of the Nethrel civilization.

Otherwise, why was this mine not discovered before, but it was found by an apprentice when the West Coast Empire began to build up magical education on a large scale.

"That's a good sign. Do you have any advice on mining? Or is there any special thing to pay attention to when mining [Kadarin Magic Stone]? Zuo Si asked very humbly.

Because the [Kadarin Magic Stone] is very fragile, and he has not found any records of excavation and mining in any books.

Ovo touched his fat N-layer chin and recalled for a moment: "To mine this rare and precious magical resource, we must first ensure that there is absolutely no magical power in the mine, and it is best to create an anti-magic area.

Secondly, it is important not to use the destructive methods of mining other ores, but to carefully remove them from the soil and rock formations.

This is because the larger the [Kadarin Magic Stone], the higher the level and the greater the value of the spells that can be stored.

In the days of Netherre, we had the most ingenious slaves digging up.

Golems, undead creatures, and bumbling creatures can't do the job.

Personally, I would recommend recruiting some gnomes, halflings, and elves as miners.

Finally, there is the issue of security.

We must have enough men to garrison near the mines and build strong fortresses to fend off the predatory nomadic tribes, dragons, and monsters of the desert.

If it's convenient, I'd like to have an airship full of dragon knights and artillery.

In short, it is related to the [Kadarin Magic Stone], and it is impossible to be too cautious. ”

"Don't bother. Since you're going to be active in Netheriel's hometown, let's just build a floating city. ”

Zuo Si directly took out a card and directly transformed it into a physical object.

I saw a large polished crystal more than one person tall suddenly appear out of thin air in the open space of the room, and as soon as it appeared, it was closely connected with the surrounding magic net, and continuously extracted energy from it.

At the same time, the crystal began to radiate a unique magical force field in all directions.

"This ...... This is the core of Mithera! A new, never-before-used core of Mythera? Where did you get it? Could it be that you are also ...... with the goddess of magic."

The red light in Owo's eyes instantly skyrocketed, and he walked straight to the front and gently stroked the surface of the crystal with a trembling hand, and the whole person fell into a strong sense of unreality.

As a Grand Arcanist, it was naturally impossible for him to mistake the Core of Mythera, which was the core of the Floating City.

The question is, where did this new core of Mithera come from?

You must know that since the deep web was closed by the second generation of the goddess of magic, there has never been any arcane spellcaster who can create such a top-notch alchemy item.

"Ahem! Don't guess, this core of Mithera was something I tried to make myself some time ago using the materials you gave me. ”

Zuo Si coughed vigorously twice and interrupted the other party.

Because he understands that this eighty percent thinks that he is like Ilminster, by selling his body and hue to let the goddess of magic open a back door for him.

"Make it yourself? Can you cast those arcane spells above the nine rings from Netheril's time? ”

Ovo turned abruptly and looked up and down at the young man in front of him who had given him a huge surprise again and again.

Zuo Si smiled and asked, "Is it strange?" The world has never been fair. As a voter handpicked by the new generation of Goddess of Magic, it makes sense for me to get some extra perks, right? ”

Plausible?

Reasonable fart!

Owo had a very rare burst of foul mouth in his heart.

Is it an ordinary privilege to open the deepest net?

Even the second-generation goddess of magic, who likes to the most, likes Ilminster so much, and she doesn't give him the ability to cast more than nine rings of magic.

The Grand Arcanist now seriously suspected that Zuo Si must have made some unknown PY deal with the three generations of Goddess of Magic, Midnight, or that he himself was the illegitimate child secretly born to the Goddess during her mortal days.

Otherwise, there would never be such treatment.
