Chapter 294: A Thousand Layers of Routines for Treating Captives
Compared to other forces, Luskan's Arcane Brotherhood has always been committed to infiltrating and dominating the entire Sword Bay and even the Northlands, and has always done a good job of secrecy.
However, I don't know if it's because of the fact that they were formerly pirate organizations, but their upper ruling structure is not a secret to some big forces with a relatively long history and their own intelligence agencies.
And before Levi came, he had already obtained the information of the Lord of Theta and the entire Arcane Brotherhood from Kelburn.
The Arcane Brotherhood is an organization of evil magicians who operate more or less openly in Luskan, and although Luskan is ostensibly composed of five supreme commanders, all of whom were formerly pirate leaders in the Moon Sea, the Arcane Brotherhood is in fact the real ruling force behind the city, and it is also the reason why the city has always been aggressive towards almost all the countries and forces in the Northern Sword Bay.
Although the Arcane Brotherhood now tries to avoid conflict with major powers such as Drawer City and Am, they still actively harass smaller cities and weaker merchants who cannot defend themselves.
In addition to the legitimate trade, the archmages who rule the Arcane Brotherhood are also involved in almost any nefarious practice, including merchant raids, slave trade, addictive potions, and arms smuggling, which the Arcane Brotherhood conducts not only for a lucrative income, but also as a means to achieve their goals:
Build an empire of trade and politics in the Northlands!
Originally, for members of such an extremely aggressive evil force, it stands to reason that Zhao'an is not a good option, and it is easier to kill it directly.
After all, an ordinary guy, not to mention eating rice for nothing, you have to prevent him from rebelling at any time, it's really chicken.
But the so-called Lord of Sita, Blasca, is something special.
Unlike the others, this guy turned out to be a native of Drawing Water City, and was once a member of the Drawing City Mage Guild, and was quite talented in puppet making, magic integration, and even magic automation design.
And by chance, he got a copy of the Golem Making Codex from the Nether Empire, and it was like Wang Ba looking at mung beans and seeing the right eye!
As we all know, this kind of magic research is a money-burning job.
If you don't have a concept of this, you can refer to Bluestar's modern chips, high-end weak current automation industry, or the contemporary artificial intelligence fever in full swing, which are almost astronomical and short-term invisible.
And the golem industry is recognized as a money-burning thing by the entire Correll mage, and there was even a saying that 'Arcane is poor for three generations, and the golem will ruin a lifetime'.
What if you don't have money...
Blasca said that it is impossible to work part-time, and that he cannot afford to build a Golem after working all his life.
So when the Mage Guild found out that this thing was actually stealing rare spell casting materials from the organization's inventory for a long time, he was immediately expelled without any suspense and went out of the house.
In fact, in Levi's opinion, the Mage Guild is still too merciful.
If it were him, how dare you steal from my warehouse? Wouldn't it be against the reputation of our dragon not to blow up the last drop of oil and water from your ancestors and grandchildren?!
After being kicked out of the guild by the Mage Guild, Blasca began to feel a bit of a broken jar, and for a while he even looked for a job in the [Smuggling Alliance] and [Thieves War] in the Thieves' Guild in the port area of Jishui City.
Basically, as long as the pay is appropriate, no matter how despicable the work is, he will do it.
Customizing magic artifacts and acting as a spellcaster's bodyguard for smuggling ships are routine.
I have even heard that he also took revenge on a certain noblewoman for 'betraying' his mistressβββ made a 'miniature guillotine' hidden in his private parts, which was implanted into the body of a female slave, and then clicked the mistress.
Since then, Braska's reputation has been great, and people have given him the nickname βββ' 'the caster of spells without virtue'.
However, this move also quickly aroused the open hostility of the aristocratic men of the entire Jishui City, and was blacklisted by many forces in Jishui Cityβββ after all, no one wants to be the next unlucky person to be clicked, isn't it...
This guy was almost unable to mix up in Drawing Water City for a while.
Xu is in response to Lan Xing's sentence 'Blessings and misfortunes depend, and misfortunes and blessings lurk'.
The mercenary mage eventually caught the attention of the Arcane Brotherhood, and a group of smugglers from Drawing Water to Neverwinter hired Brasca to protect their ship, which was attacked by marauders from Luskan, only to be repulsed by him.
When the ship docked at the docks of Neverwinter, the Brotherhood's spies in Neverwinter immediately investigated the details of the ship's guardian, and soon Blasca was contacted by an agent of the Brotherhood and invited him to join the Brotherhood.
Blaska originally wanted to refuse, but when I think about it, I can't even get along in Jishui City, and there seems to be no reason to refuse.
And he defeated the other party's pirate ship, not only did the other party not hold a grudge, but also specially invited him to join, this is a special master!
So I slapped my thigh and happily got on this thief ship...
After successfully passing the Brotherhood's assessment, he was rewarded by President Aklem and gave him the position of Lord of the West Tower.
Blaska was not surprised by his new title and status, he had long suspected that his predecessor would eventually lose control of the region he was responsible for, and had paved the way for his downfall and his own rise.
Using his expertise in creating magical artifacts to make himself an indispensable member of the Brotherhood, the appointment of the Grand Arcanist Aklem convinces him that the battle against the Silver Federation will require a considerable number of magical devices and even golems.
And this task is bound to fall on his shoulders.
Anyone who meets Brasca for the first time would not have imagined that he is one of the leaders of this most ruthless and mysterious organization in Corell.
His appearance was very difficult to attract attention, his height and size were average, and his clothing was featureless, and when he was still working as a hired spellcaster in Drawing Water City, he knew that maintaining a certain level of popularity could make potential enemies underestimate him, or even not notice him at all.
And this characteristic of him and his talent as a spy also laid the groundwork for him to return to Jishui City.
It turns out that even the Arcane Brotherhood, which started by being a pirate and robber, can't stand such a big money-burning house sitting in the organization.
The president summons him once more, and says that a talent like Blasca's unique talent shouldn't continue to waste his talent in the Brotherhood...
Then this thing was 'promoted' back to Drawing Water City again, and under the 'arrangement' of the Arcane Brotherhood, he became a leader of the [Infiltrator Guild], and was nominally the highest person in charge of the Arcane Brotherhood in Drawing Water City, roughly similar to the regional manager of the Blue Star Group.
From now on, the Arcane Brotherhood is responsible for providing him with all aspects of convenience and support, and he only needs to be responsible for collecting money in the [Infiltrator's Guild], training magical apprentices to make magical objects and golems, and using these money and apprentices to continue to produce magical artifacts for the Brotherhood on a regular basis.
If he has money in the future, he will start making golems in batches.
Then he would be able to make all kinds of golems that he was obsessed with.
Even if you can't make the legendary King Kong Golem and Platinum Golem, you can still build a Clay Golem and a Steel Golem!
Originally, according to the established historical trend, if there was no Levi, a traverser, who intervened so sideways, with the established development policy of Akelum in the future, a technical talent like Blaska would definitely be able to shine one day in the future.
It's a pity... Now in Levi's hands, he sat on his toilet like a lost dog with a broken backbone, trying to maintain his last remaining caster dignity:
"It's... I still want to go back to the Brotherhood, if you don't let me go....."
"Oh?"
Li Wei suddenly showed a mocking look that seemed to be smiling, and in his slightly open mouth, his mouth full of shark-like interlaced jagged teeth exuded a dangerous luster in the dim light:
"What happens if I don't let you go?"
Like that unkillable brute, this guy is a monster in human skin! And it seems to be much more terrifying!
What the hell is this?
Blasca panicked in his heart, and the spine that had been broken by Drollo couldn't stand up, and he quickly smiled with low eyebrows:
"It's really an honor for me to be able to value some of the contemptible skills of Levi's crown! After all, I am the Lord of the Sita of the Arcane Brotherhood, and now that I have suddenly disappeared, they are likely to be searching for my traces throughout the Northlands. Joined the command of Lord Levi's... I'm afraid of the Arcane Brotherhood... I will do whatever it takes to target you and your territory, and if I cause you to have a conflict, then the sins I have done in Brasca will be great!"
"That's a problem. β
Levi pretended to be convinced.
But before Blasca could rejoice, he heard Levi's words change and seemed to mean something:
"But as long as you don't let them know that you're with me, it's fine. β
"But..."
Blasca just wanted to say that if you didn't want to surrender, how could I not be known by the Arcane Brotherhood... On second thought, this guy wants to lock me up in this dark place forever and then work for him?
Are you the devil!!
No! If that were the case, he Brasca would have starved to death here, smoked to death by the toilet he sat on! He would never have surrendered to the enemy!
As a result, I saw Levi wave his hand casually, and there was a loud sound of 'pang', and the huge vibration even made the blasca on the toilet pop up...
"Oh... What did I see!! a... One..."
Before the protest in Blaska's mouth could be uttered, it was replaced by an unprecedented moan of amazement...
That's a...
The pinnacle of the Nethrel Golem!
Gold, Steel, Stone, Magic, Image!
The diamond golem that was picked up from the Nether magic ship and was able to compete with the Shadow Queen and the Corrupt Lady in that decisive battle, but was eventually blasted off one arm by the legendary dwarf Adohead with the restraint of the legendary weapon [Earth Thunder Sound].
It's a pity that the magic subjects involved in this thing are too complicated, and there is really no mage in the mage group, including Iggy, who is proficient in this way, so this golem has been studied there for eight years, and it can't even crack and modify its authority control center...
It's possible to crack Kaka with all its might, but it has a lock protection mechanism inside, in order to prevent a tower-like existence like Kaka from brute-forcing with computing power, and once it is found that the invasion is irreversible to a certain extent, it will start the self-destruct program.
For a while, Iggy was almost bald...
I just heard that there was a guy who was captured and was proficient in this way, so naturally there was a trick from Levi.
It can be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Levi was even ready to smash it all if no one could handle it, and then play a classic 'diamond is forever, one forever' marketing scam in the whole of Correll... Uh, planning!
Although it is a bit of a violent thing, it can at least get a definite excess monetary return.
It's just a dispensability for Levi, but in the eyes of Blaska, who has been obsessed with golems since childhood, it feels like...
Lend Blue Star Heavy Military House a detachable battleship.
In front of Gundam fans, he threw an endless waltz βββ Wing Zero Gundam EW body.
That shock, that unbelievable, that feeling of overturning the three views...
In an instant, all the reluctance in Blaska's heart was shattered, and there was nothing left!
With a pop, Brasca pulled his stiff ass out of the toilet on the spot, and as if on a pilgrimage, he hugged the toes of the diamond golem and turned his head to Levi and shouted:
"Your Majesty Levi, as long as you give me this diamond golem, I'm Brasca, it's yours!!"
Levi also looked at the 'Lord of the Tower' who easily packaged himself and sold it to him, and casually took back some of the 'preferential treatment' chips that had been prepared.
Slightly covering his nose, he said in a sullen voice: "Give you eight years, I want to see that it can be used by me completely, otherwise, you will continue to stick to the toilet!"
"Ahh I..."
But at this time, Blasca seemed to be completely immersed in the details of the diamond golem, as if he hadn't heard Levi's words, and looked like he couldn't help but lick the golem twice.
Levi shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked out of the cell, and said to Holtz:
"Get a mage to heal his waist, leave a trigger spell, and if this thing has defected, get him back to sitting on the toilet. β
"Follow your will. β
Holtz bared his fangs and glanced at Braska, who was holding a golem as if he were holding his daughter-in-law, in his cell.
Since then, there has been no more Lord of Sita, only a technician who has been 'locked up' in a small black room in Zeelandia.
I don't know if some of the pigeon spirits in Blue Star would feel a slight chill down their backs if they knew about Levi's operation...
"Wow ~ next. β
Levi yawned heavily and said he was busy.
Different captives use different routines.
A certain demon in the cell not far from the next door only felt that his eyelids had jumped a little hard in the past two days...
Then I heard the sound of a devil's footsteps approaching...
Kik, the eye demon who was originally paralyzed in the corner of the cell, spiraled into the sky on the spot, and the eight tentacles dragged the fence and cried bitterly:
"Lord Levi, I, Kicke, have always wanted to serve you!
"Lord Levi!!"
