There was no doubt that the death of Manolos and the sudden betrayal of the Warsong Clan gave a small shock to the vanguard of the Burning Legion.

In particular, the Dreadlord Tikdios, couldn't believe that one of the most powerful Abyss Lords in the Legion would die at the hands of his own pet.

But Akmund, who was impatient to seize the World Tree and the Well of Eternity, couldn't care so much.

He first ordered the Doom Guard to approach Mount Hyjal with hellfire, and at the same time had Tikdios take the Skull of Gul'dan to corrupt the narrow area of what would become known as the Felwood Forest, preventing the Night Elves from receiving support from allies such as the Treants and Bear Monsters.

In short, Akmund intended to weaken the resistance as much as possible before launching a full-scale assault on Mount Hyjal, so as to avoid the situation in which all the forces united against the Legion during the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago.

The combined forces of humans and minotaurs also advanced along the Ashen Valley in the direction of Mount Hyjal.

If nothing else, it will take at least a little more than a month to reach the destination and officially start the battle that will finally decide the fate of the entire world.

However, unlike the original timeline, this time there are no orcs on the list of those who resist the Burning Legion.

Specifically, Thrall, the Grand Chieftain, returned to the Horde and set up a makeshift camp in the shattered lands of Azhara with the trolls of the Orcs and Darkspear Clan.

There is no choice to continue the pursuit of the Warsong Clan, nor does it mean to join the war.

Instead, they became physically connected with the large number of local Naga and Fish-People.

It didn't take long for Thrall to sweep through the shattered beaches with his newly formed Blood Guard and establish his own home on the ruins of the upper elves.

With abundant forests and fisheries, the tribe quickly got rid of the lack of food, and even established breeding farms to raise pigs and deer to meet the huge demand for meat from orcs and trolls, as if they wanted to settle down in the area.

Since Azhara was once the capital of the Night Elves' Ancient Empire and the epicenter of the first explosion of the Well of Eternity, it was never approached by the Night Elves as a cursed land.

In addition to the Naga, the Bears, the Fishmen, and a small number of Sartyrs, only the ghosts of the upper elves wander the ruins after their deaths.

For the orcs with rich experience in war and combat, it is not enough to deal with this group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

What's more, the Nagas, after realizing that this group of outsiders is not easy to deal with, decisively chose to retreat temporarily.

On the other side, Grom Hellroar and his Warsong Clan descend to the depths of the Felwood Forest, patiently awaiting the arrival of Demon Hunter Illidan Furywind.

Under Zuosi's arrangement, they will be the first loyal followers of the latter to reach the Outlands through the Dark Gate, and then let the orcs have a good taste of what it is like for their world to be invaded, burned, and looted.

At that time, all the original orcs will disappear completely, and they will either be drained of blood and turned into a cold corpse, or they will be transformed into blood orcs.

As for Thrall, Zosi would "mercifully" allow him to continue leading the tribe to survive for a while, and gradually accumulate prestige.

When the time comes, the resurrected undead will be thrown out, and this guy will publicly expose Thrall not only as a murderer of his compatriots, but also as a blood orc like Grom.

At that time, the high status of the Great Chief will taste the instant descent from heaven to hell, as well as the taste of abandonment and betrayal.

He will go from being a hero that everyone admires to becoming a sinner.

The huge psychological gap will crush people's thoughts, wills, and beliefs that they have always adhered to, and eventually inevitably go black.

It is even possible to make decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life under the control of extreme emotions.

And that's what Zuo Si is looking forward to seeing.

It doesn't take to know that he longs to get Thrall's soul and then take it to Hell for further corruption and depravity, slowly turning him into a pawn that can be used for himself.

This chess piece will be taken to the continent of Faeron to join an orc tribe, and then completely subvert the belief of the orc gods from the inside, banishing them from the crystal wall where the planet Torel is located.

After all, Zuo Si, who has always been full of grudge attributes, will not forget that when he was still very weak, it was the orc god Gewush who tried in vain to descend and incarnate as a killer.

Of course, this plan takes a long time to prepare.

Even the Battle of Mount Hyjal took a month or two to break out.

During this time, it was mainly the steady advance of the Burning Legion, and the constant awakening of the druids who had been sleeping in the Emerald Dream Realm, while summoning allies to begin organizing defenses.

For these boring little things, Zuo Si is obviously not interested.

What's more, after a period of preparation, the elves of Yongju Island, who were slow to do anything, finally gathered an "army" of 5,000 people and arrived in Ascatra by warship.

Silencie, who has never been very particular about dressing, not only changed into a gorgeous robe and wore a crown on her head, but also took out the sword of Akokorim, which symbolized the legitimate rule of Komanso, and wore it in the most conspicuous place to show her legitimacy.

As she stepped out of the ship and into the West Coast Empire's largest and most prosperous port, she immediately felt the powerful and intricate magical locks envelop the massive city.

No!

It's not just the city!

There are also farmland, villages, and small towns within hundreds of kilometers of the surrounding area.

The abundant magical energy in the surrounding environment, as well as the magic net that has been repeatedly reinforced, can fully withstand the all-out bombardment of a dozen or even dozens of legendary mages without collapsing.

Moreover, in the sky above the city, you can also see several crystals floating about 500 meters to 1,000 meters above the ground, emitting dazzling brilliance, which is the core of Netheril's famous Mithera.

There are more than six of them.

Their staggered arrangement just echoes the magic locks, providing a near-infinite amount of magical energy to the city below.

It was nighttime, but all kinds of magic lamps and torches blessed with unquenchable flames were all over the streets, and there was no darkness in the streets of the whole city.

Even some of the bustling market streets are brighter and more dazzling than daytime.

Hundreds of mage towers stand in dense proximity to the north of the city's new district, where more than two thousand mages and more than four times as many apprentices work day and night in a variety of studies, as well as the production of magical equipment, scrolls, and potions.

There is no doubt that Ascatra today is the most prosperous, rich, and modern city in the entire continent of Faeron.

At the same time, it is a veritable magical city.

Neither the capital of Serre, ruled by the red-robed mage, nor the capital of Harua, the land of mages, can be compared.

After gaining the ability to perform elven high magic rituals, Zuo Si spent months frantically creating this magnificent miracle like never before.

It is a combination of Netherre's knowledge, the Elven Magic Locks, and unique magic from multiple planes, including Enchanted Earth and Ravnica.

Finally, add the spark of the traveling mage, which can connect multiple worlds.

"Soth's a lunatic! He actually put the ideas he mentioned earlier into practice in just a few months, and it seems that he has basically succeeded. ”

Celincy raised her hand and felt the magical effects and abilities pervading the air around her with the silver fire bestowed by the goddess of magic, her face full of shock and disbelief.

"Thoughts? What's the idea? ”

The other elven mage who was accompanying him asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.

Selinchy replied without thinking: "He once proposed to create an unprecedented mystery centered on himself, which could change the magic and physical rules within a radius of thousands of kilometers in an instant, and even directly reshape the environment and landforms of a continent or even a world. ”

"Yourself as the heart of the magic lock?!"

The elven mage's pupils suddenly dilated, and even his breathing suddenly became short.

"yes, it's crazy, isn't it?"

Selincy subconsciously licked her lips, feeling a strong sense of awe and admiration for someone for the first time.

Because in this vast and incomparably complex puzzle, she found that part of the [Spell Transformation] she had invented had been codified as rules.

You must know that the original [Spell Transfer] can only affect the magic net within two or three hundred meters at best.

But now, when the rules are codified, they can directly affect a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Its difficulty is not on the same order of magnitude as the original spell.

In addition, there are many strange magical powers that Clinchy has never been exposed to.

Even she, who knows the magic lock abnormally, is not sure that she will be able to break through this mystery lock that has no idea how many layers of protection and changes the rules of the real world.

To be exact, this is not a power that mortals can possess at all.

Only gods or powerful god-like powers can achieve this.

"So this magic lock doesn't always exist, but moves with the other person's movement? When he leaves Askatra, the locks that have hung over the city will be completely gone? ”

The elven mage's eyes also revealed horror at this moment.

You must know that fixing the Mystery Lock Core to an immovable object is already extremely difficult, and it requires the sacrifice of several or even a dozen high-level mages to barely do it.

He couldn't believe that having a living person at the heart of the puzzle would have to overcome many difficulties unimaginable to mortals.

Selincy smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No, not really.

From what I know, as a traveling mage, Soth has access to a unique ability.

That is, you can connect with a certain world or even a city through the power of a land card across time and space.

As long as he made the lands of all the important cities of the West Coast Empire, all the important cities of the entire West Coast would be shrouded in this magical barrier.

If any blind fool wants to attack the country, then they will taste the end of the world.

The West Coast Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful nation on the continent of Ferron and the planet Torrell.

So go and tell our people at once, let them put away their unworthy pride and conceit, and be as humble as possible here.

I don't want some fool to be ignorant and make an enemy that I can't mess with. ”

"Understood! I'm going to warn all the priests, mages, officers, and soldiers. ”

The elven mage hurriedly touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply, then turned to the troops who were landing along the dock boardwalk.

Since they had already greeted each other before, the dock officials had known for several days that the elves of Eternal Gathering Island would land in the next few days.

Coupled with the fact that they were using a newly built military port instead of a cargo port, the whole process did not cause any disturbance.

On the contrary, many merchants and civilians were curious about this, and asked around why this elven army suddenly appeared in Askatra, and whether the emperor had reached some agreement with Yongju Island, and the two sides would form an alliance to wage war against a certain country or force.

A few minutes later, Zuo Si himself teleported directly, first hugging the elven archmage who was about to become the lord and queen of Comanso out of etiquette, and then greeting with a smile: "Welcome to Askatra. Hopefully, the changes here haven't surprised you too much. ”

"In fact, my jaw dropped. You made those cores of Mithera? ”

With that, Sirisy raised her finger and pointed to the crystals floating in the sky.

Although these energy sources blessed with permanent invisibility could not be seen in the eyes of ordinary people, they were as dazzling as small suns under magical vision.

"Ah, yes, it's my work.

In fact, creating the core of Mithera is not as difficult as the outside world thinks.

It's just that the relationship between the closed deep magic web has led to the inability of several key eleventh ring magic to be cast.

Thankfully, the goddess of generosity has given me a little privilege so that I can bring this interesting alchemical artifact back to life.

With them, I can drench all the cities of the empire in a greater amount of magical energy, making it easier to learn arcane magic, and multiplying the number of mages and warlocks in a short period of time.

In a few years, the number of mages in the empire will exceed 200,000, and the number of apprentices will be countless.

With these spellcasters as a foundation, I can work with the Church of Gond to invent a variety of universal magical technologies that will ultimately benefit more civilians.

Also, the spread of magic will also bring additional faith to the goddess, doesn't it? ”

Zuo Si enthusiastically introduced his recent research results.

In his opinion, the powerful ten-ring, eleven-ring, and even twelve-ring spells of the Netharel era, and the floating cities floating in the sky, were certainly amazing.

But what really brought civilization to glory was precisely the core of Mithera, and the temporary magical items that were built around it.

These relatively inexpensive things have succeeded in turning magic from a privilege that only a few elites can enjoy, to a benefit that anyone with a little money can enjoy.

Therefore, all the Nethriel people who live in the Floating City are crazy about supporting the research and development of magic, forming a general awareness and national consensus.

This is like the modern technological blowout on the earth, in essence, because the common people enjoy the benefits and convenience brought by technology, so the society will reach a consensus that the development of science and technology is the most important thing.

In the same way, in order to build an empire with a highly developed magical power, the Left Idea must first change people's vigilance, disgust, and distrust of magic itself, so that everyone can feel that the development of magic can actually bring benefits to them.

It's a pity that the Grand Arcanists have been out of the hierarchy for so long that they don't realize what the foundation of Netheriel's transformation from a few small fishing villages to a powerful magical nation is.

Instead of continuing to develop magical technologies that can benefit more low-level civilians, they are obsessed with the pursuit of becoming and even surpassing the gods.

As a direct result of the collapse and disintegration of Netheril, no one wanted to rebuild it at all, except for the undead Ovo and Netherworld.

However, Zuo Si was clearly aware of the importance of this aspect, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to create several Mishera Cores to provide cheap magical energy to the entire inhabitants of Azkatra.

In this way, inventions such as cheap magic lamps, vehicles, running water, and other miscellaneous inventions will find their way into the homes of ordinary people, providing a higher quality of life for a long time.

Similarly, the threshold for creating and crafting these temporary magical items is very low, and even apprentices can get a piece of the pie, preventing them from making trouble because they can't find suitable jobs and can't make money.

Don't underestimate this.

The educated elite tend to think highly of themselves.

Mages, in particular, do not do what they consider to be "lowly" jobs such as farmers and craftsmen, and at worst they have to be scribes.

If you're training a large number of mages and apprentices, but you can't provide them with enough jobs, wait for the entire empire to burst into flames.

After all, even if a low-level mage was determined to do something, he could easily cause hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of casualties, as well as unimaginable economic losses.

They are not college students who are unemployed after graduation in modern society, and they are very big at the top of the yin and yang weird words on the Internet, but they really dare to take practical actions to vent their inner anger and dissatisfaction.

Therefore, this is why magical civilizations are often extremely fragile, and often collapse in an instant after experiencing an internal and external trouble, and then completely disappear in the long river of history.

The biggest difference from the technological civilization is that the mages in the magical civilization are more destructive than the scientists of the technological civilization.

Once scientists are left with a large number of advanced instruments and expensive resources, it is unlikely that they will cause any devastating damage to the existing social system.

But what about the mages?

They can summon demons and demons from the Alternate Plane, poison them through necromantic magic to set off an army of the undead, and even directly pull gods and ancient evil creatures over to destroy the world.

Therefore, Zuo Si has always paid great attention to giving enough benefits to the mage group, and at the same time, through the arcane secret arts, the most intelligent and talented people will be recruited into the inner circle.

He knew very well that these were the people he really needed to rally, not the bureaucrats, businessmen, and commoners.

"Well, I now understand why you're the most favored voter these days.

If this continues, the belief and influence of the goddess of magic will soon spread to every corner of the west coast of the entire Faren continent.

The number of believers will explode to millions.

The most important thing is that the development of magical theories and techniques will show a blowout, and thousands of new magic and objects will be invented.

Compared to you, we voters are a bunch of bastards who don't do their jobs. ”

Celincy couldn't help but sigh.

There is no doubt that the most deity-minded is a voter like Zuosi, who can not only practice the teachings, but also bring more faith and greatly expand his influence.

As for herself, not to mention practicing the teachings and bringing more believers and influence to the goddess, the whole person was stunned and evaporated for hundreds of years without news.

Other voters are also more or less messing around.

Ilminster was notoriously nosy, and except in the case of the fall of the goddess in a turbulent year, he did not do anything at all, never took the initiative to teach magic to young people, and did not train apprentices on a large scale.

Leila and Kelburn are quite competent, at least they have a considerable number of apprentices, but the main focus is on protecting and promoting the development of Waterdeep.

Having done her best to fulfill her political ideals and ambitions in Silvermoon City, Ahras has never fulfilled her duties as a voter.

Hembo, the Queen of the Storm, spends most of her time fending off the attacks of the red-robed mages, and despite the invention of the famous sequencer magic, that's about it.

As for Storm Silverhand, Doph Hawkhand, Hiren, and Aoi Lu, their contributions to the field of magic are basically zero.

So it can be said that the second generation of the goddess of magic engaged in these voters, except for the first Azus, who has become the god of mages, there is not even a qualified one.

Look at the elect of Bane, the god of tyranny, who are willing to sacrifice their lives to resurrect the gods they serve and preach the idea of tyranny.

The electorate of the god of war Tampas are even more keen to participate in every war, expanding the influence of the gods through battles and killings.

Among the many voters of the goddess of magic, Zuo Si is definitely an outlier, and the only one who is doing what voters should do.

Based on this alone, Silinchy felt that it was not for nothing that the other party could receive the attention and affection of so many gods.

In the same way, she also felt a little embarrassed.

Zuo Si responded in a half-joking tone: "This is also what I find strange.

What principles did the previous generation of Goddess of Magic follow when looking for voters?

Talent?

Ability?

Or is it simply pleasing to the eye?

Ilminster, in particular, I really don't understand how his kind of advocate for restricting the use of magic could become a voter.

Because from any point of view, he was counterproductive to the development of magic. ”

"The second generation of the Goddess of Magic is a very special and interesting person. How to describe it? She's a little bit of a bit of a lust and a greedy for pleasure. ”

Celinchy gave a meaningful answer.

As the oldest living voter, she knew exactly what happened back then, and could even name the long list of goddess lovers like the name of a dish.

You must know that the second generation of the goddess of magic does not just like men, but the standard male and female all-in-one.

Ilminster is just one of the most well-known.

There are countless people like Samastre who are "lucky" and forget it directly after one time.

"But that's not a reason why she's not doing her job well, is it?"

For the second-generation goddess of magic, Zuo Si obviously didn't even have the slightest favor, so his tone was extremely unkind.

"Maybe."

Si Linxi shrugged her shoulders, then quickly locked her gaze on the location of Zuo Si's chest heart, squinted her eyes and said tentatively, "You have made your heart the core of the lock?" ”

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, it's not the heart, it's the soul."

With the help of a magical technique that is not available in this world, I engraved my soul.

Now, without any spells or spell casting, most magic and magic can be cast with a single thought.

Even some legendary spells are included. ”

"Soul Mark?!"

Celincy raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"yes. Trust me, you won't want to know the details. Because with the strength of a mortal soul, even less than a tenth of it will collapse in intense pain that cannot be described in words. It's cruel, a hundred times more cruel than the worst torture I've ever seen. ”

As he said this, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a creepy glow.

Seeing this, Si Linxi couldn't help but shudder, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn! Stop talking, my skin is already getting goosebumps. ”

Clearly, she knew what the soul seal meant.

While the two were talking, the elven army finally left the ship and landed ashore, lined up in a neat line on the dock of the military port.

Not only are they wearing silver enchanted armor, but the weapons and arrows in their hands are basically +2 starts.

And the ratio of casters such as mages, warlocks, and priests is as high as five to one.

There is basically one caster in every six people, and it is completely possible to spread out and move in squads when needed.

In addition, the average level of Warrior and Ranger has also reached the level of LV5.

It can only be said that it is really worthy of being the last stronghold of the Torel elven race, Yongju Island.

This army of only 5,000 people placed on the continent of Faeron will definitely make many city-states and even countries restless.

"Are you going to rest in Ascatra for a few days, or are you going to leave right away?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

"Of course, the sooner you go, the better. I don't want to wait too long and have Mith Zonor's Lost Core snatched by them. ”

Celinchy gave the answer very simply.

Since elves don't need to sleep like humans, but can be replaced by shorter meditations, most warriors are still in a pretty good state of mind even after a few days at sea, and there is no need to recuperate.

What's more, after being away from her hometown for so long, she can't wait to go back and take a look.

"In that case, let's take an airship, it only takes a few days to get to Comanso from here."

As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and fired a dazzling red ball of light into the sky.

As the light continued to rise, Sirinsy and a kind of elf below finally saw a huge airship begin to descend slowly.

On the upper deck of the airship, you can still see a dozen or twenty dragons and their knights ready to go.

You don't need to ask to know that on the current Feron Continent, only the West Coast Empire can have a large-scale dragon knight.

Seeing the huge aerial gunboat landing steadily on the ground, Sirinzy immediately smiled and asked, "Are you planning to let the dragoons and gunboats escort us?" ”

"That's right.

As a token of gratitude to His Excellency Corellon, the Lord of the Elves, this gunboat and the dragoons on it will be temporarily leased to you for the duration of the war until Miss Dronor is recovered.

Come on, dear Her Majesty.

I hope that Comanso can return to its former glory under your leadership. ”

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si made a gesture of please.

"I will!"

Celincy solemnly gave a reassurance, and then took graceful steps to board the airship and enter the command room.

The rest of the elven army also rushed in, and they were placed in the cabins that were not very wide.

As promised, the airship was provided with sufficient supplies to ensure that the army would have no logistical worries and would not have to worry about food, drink, and damage to weapons and armor for several months.

The most important thing is that this is an aerial gunboat, capable of bombing the ground in the sky at a height of several thousand meters.

And this distance is far beyond the reach of most magic.

Coupled with the dragoons that can be used for reconnaissance and support at the same time, all the elves participating in the expedition are confident that they will be able to wipe out those evil underground cousins and avenge the destruction of the kingdom of Comanso.

After all the soldiers had boarded the ship, the airship took off again and slowly headed northeast under the cover of night, and disappeared into the sky in a short time.

"Teacher, do you think Miss Selinxi's expedition will be successful?"

The elven girl Gilasse Liaton stepped out of the shadows, her eyes revealing intense curiosity.

"Of course it works. Because I'm the one standing behind her right now. ”

Zuo Si stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair of his second disciple.

After a period of study and training, this little guy has gradually mastered the power of the family heirloom Moon Blade.

At present, there is no need to hide in the mage tower all day to train, but you can go out to perform some small tasks to increase your actual combat experience.

In just a few months, she had already hunted down several evil mages who wanted to do something from outside, as well as the demons or other dangerous otherworldly creatures they had summoned.

At this moment, the girl was carrying a bloody Tieflin head in her hand.

Ever since Ascatra began to expand wildly and absorb a large number of people, there are countless people like this who want to fish in troubled waters.

Most of them want to replicate the methods of establishing gangs and thieves' guilds in other cities through threats, intimidation, kidnapping, seduction, bribery, etc., and ultimately achieve the goal of colluding with bureaucrats to rule a certain area.

Especially with the rise of the Core of Mithera and the establishment of the Magical Lock, such events are becoming more and more common.

If it had been elsewhere, the security situation would have deteriorated rapidly.

But this group of guys who want to do things obviously don't know that Zuo Si has already established a complete intelligence system and magic monitoring system.

Later, with the magic lock, he could easily perceive any spell formed by extracting energy from the magic net in the entire Azkatra.

If necessary, you can also cut off the magic net connection in a certain area by yourself, so that the other party can't even release a lowest-level light technique.

However, Zuo Si usually does not do this, but directly throws the news to his young disciple, and asks her to hunt targets to increase her actual combat experience.

Over time, Gilasser seems to have developed the posture of a mage killer, and has made a name for himself in the circle.

"Who do you think Lady Serenchy's greatest enemy will be when she recovers Comanso?"

The girl blinked and asked again.

Zuo Si pondered for a moment, and responded in a tone that was not very uncertain: "I think it should most likely be the mother and son of the Dark Elf Faith."

The son, in particular, should not sit idly by and watch the two forces that believe in him being driven out or uprooted.

But considering this guy's always cautious style, the possibility of sending an avatar to intervene directly is not too great.

What's more, I'm not without the means to kill gods......"

With these words, Zuo Si blurted out an inconspicuous-looking bowl on his right hand, which was the color of red copper as a whole, and there were many black villains doing various actions on the surface of the outer wall.

You don't need to ask to know that this bowl is the famous world-destroying artifact - Tongzhao.

If energy is infused, the bowl will also emit a dazzling golden glow, and take on complex and mysterious patterns and symbols.

And since you got the spell you activated, it's no longer an ornament.

Once activated, it can instantly blow a world to pieces.

As for power, it depends on the length of time it takes to draw energy from the multiverse.

When necessary, the traveling mage can also directly inject his stored energy into it.

To be honest, Zuo Si has always been curious about the true power of Tongzhao.

After all, Shattered Star is basically a "hand as long as you have hands" for gods and god-like powers.

But the power of the sylex is obviously not as simple as a simple broken star.

It's more like an amplifier that can collect and compress energy indefinitely.

There's no limit to the theoretical power of this thing.

Therefore, Zuo Si urgently needs to make an attempt to figure out how powerful the explosion is produced by different energy levels.

So that you can know when you need to use it in the face of powerful enemies in the future.

Instead of using it for the first time like Urza, he almost killed himself.

In the end, he barely escaped by lighting sparks and absorbing strong energy stones and weak energy stones.

Injecting a little bit of energy to ignite the sylex to make it glow golden, Zuo Si slightly curled the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Whether it's God or the Dark Titan Sargeras, or Akmund and Kil'Gardan, in short, you guys hurry up and let me try the power of this little broken bowl." Once I understand how destructive it is and how it works, I can greatly strengthen it. ”

"Teacher, the expression on your face at the moment is very evil and terrifying." Guiratser cautiously reminded.

"Hahahaha! I was originally the great devil in Bato's hell, isn't it normal to be a little evil and a little scary? ”

Zuo Si quickly put away Tongzhao and let out a burst of laughter, and then returned to the Mage Tower with his disciple.

With the successful establishment of the Magic Lock, and the protection of all the major cities of the West Coast Empire through the land cards, all the arcane spellcasters living in the region have found themselves more connected to the web.

There are also many mages who find that they can only cast four-ring spells, but suddenly they can cast five-ring spells.

The feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky inevitably led them to ecstasy.

When he learns that the Emperor has succeeded in creating an incredibly powerful magic lock, all kinds of sycophants sing the praises of virtue.

There are also many mages who have traveled from other regions to spend huge sums of money to build mage towers, just to get the blessing of the magic lock to explore the deeper mysteries of the magic web, or to relocate their own workshops so that they can use the power of the magic lock to create cheap magic items.

On top of that, the lights of major cities at night greatly enrich people's nightlife, and also bring additional jobs and employment opportunities.

Many commercial streets have opened a business model of providing services 24 hours a day.

What made Zuo Si feel the most incredible was the special entertainment place set up by some alchemists.

Using the power of the magic lock, they create a cheap hallucination potion that can make guests feel like a real fantasy after taking it, and then provide some anthropomorphic dolls to make them think of the puppet as their dream lover in their fantasy, and then vent their inner desires.

It is said that because of the low fees, the business is quite hot, and even provoked strong protests from some female employees in this traditional industry.

The two sides also clashed several times because of the competition for guests, which is really magical enough.

However, considering that before the spark was ignited, there was also a similar combination of VR and cups on the earth, and Zuo Si didn't think it was a big deal.

Anyway, in the end, no matter who eliminated whom, the taxes that should be paid to the state are not a lot.

In contrast, those who take the high-end route have not been affected.

After all, rich people don't use dolls that have been used by other people repeatedly, and they don't bother to rely on illusions to satisfy their desires.

This new industry is striking at service establishments that rely on low prices to attract ordinary people.

It is foreseeable that the struggle between the two sides will continue for a long time to come.

Until the winner is decided, consumers will be the biggest beneficiary group.

Obviously, unlike any previous magical civilization on the continent of Faeron, the West Coast Empire, under the guidance of Zuo Si, continues to make magical knowledge and technology sink to serve more people, rather than becoming the privilege of a very few.

Even in large cities such as Ascatra and Puerto Carlin, rail trains powered by magic locks as a means of public transportation have been opened, and the overall appearance is quite like the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries on Earth, or even better.

(End of chapter)
