"You...what did you do to my phylactery?"
Vanessa stared at the small card in Zuo Si's hand with wide eyes, and her whole body became extremely nervous.
Although he has become an undead creature and no longer needs to process images through his eyes and brain, the habits he has developed for a long time cannot be changed in a short time.
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Nothing. I just made it more inconspicuous and easier to keep. Don't worry, there will be no problems with your phylactery."
The next second...
The card in his hand disappeared without a trace under the opponent's gaze.
Without a doubt!
This is a naked and unabashed display of power, and it is also a warning to the new lich in front of him that it is best not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
After all, the opponent's spellcasting level is much higher than Zuo Si.
And choosing to specialize in necromancy magic also means that you must be in the evil camp.
So he must make the guy in front of him clearly realize that he has no chance.
Only by clarifying this point can the relationship between the two parties have a solid foundation.
To become a LV15 high-level mage, Vanessa certainly couldn't be an idiot. She understood what Zuo Si meant almost instantly, and immediately bent down and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to break the agreement. On the contrary, I will serve you in accordance with the agreement for at least a hundred years. During this period, your enemy is my enemy, and your wish is my goal.
."
"I feel more at ease when I hear you say this. But I won't let you get nothing for your efforts. Here, here are some knowledge, notes and spells about necromancy magic. I hope it can be useful to you in the future.
The magic path helps."
With that said, Zuo Si took out the books he had copied in advance and placed them in front of the lich.
Some of them come from the Necromancer Asta, and some of them come from the "Book of the Dead".
For any mage who specializes in the necromancy system, their value cannot be measured in terms of money.
Vanessa just opened one of the books and glanced at it twice, and was immediately deeply attracted by the content.
The two nine-ring spells recorded in it [Undead Catastrophe] and [Soul Binding Technique] gave him hope of understanding and touching the deepest magic network.
You must know that no arcane spell caster who has the ability to cast eighth-level magic will not be eager to learn and use the most powerful ninth-level spell under legendary magic.
After a long silence, Vanessa finally raised her head and smiled: "Thank you for your generosity. I think we will get along very happily."
"This is what I hope for. After all, cooperation can only be sustained for a long time if both parties benefit." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
After taking care of the new lich, he stopped disturbing the opponent to prepare spells for the possible battle, and turned around to walk to Wilmes' side.
"Is something wrong?"
The red dragon, which was still in human form, checked its face and asked.
"How much do you know about Bertorgas' secret cooperation with the Dragon Worship Cult?" Zuo Si asked in a low voice.
Obviously, he suspected that the enemies hidden in the "Lucky Valley" should include the Dragon Cult in addition to the confirmed Zhentarim.
Because when fighting Bertorgas, this male red dragon directly summoned several spellcaster allies from the Dragon Worship Cult.
This means that the hiding place of the cult should be near the Xingxuan Mountains.
If it is further away, it may exceed the maximum distance that can be reached by a one-time teleportation of the fifth-ring [Teleportation Technique].
After all, the behavior of the Dragon Worshipers determines that they cannot establish their stronghold in cities, but only in inaccessible mountains and forests.
Coupled with the need to deal with dragons that have long been in the evil camp, the only place in the surrounding area that meets the requirements is the Star Swirl Mountains.
Wilmes shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I really don't know about this matter. Bertorgas has always been mysterious. The only thing I know is that he had sex with a group of human spellcasters several times.
We cooperated and successfully attacked several elf villages on the edge of the Wildas Forest. Mainly to satisfy our appetite. After all, the taste of elf meat is much better than that of humans."
"Are those human spellcasters members of the Dragon Worship Cult?" Zuo Si asked curiously.
"I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.
But I think Bertorgas is just deceiving the other party and doesn't really want to transform into a dracolich.
Because for a red dragon in its prime, its own strength is growing rapidly, and it will not consider turning itself into an undead creature.
Only those old dragons who feel that they may not survive the next transformation into ancient dragons or ancient dragons will accept the Dragon Worship Cult's proposal and let them help them transform into dracolich."
Wilmes gave an analysis from the perspective of Red Dragon.
Because transforming into a dracolich means losing the self-esteem and pride of being a dragon, and at the same time being ridiculed and despised by other people of the same kind.
Almost all existing dracolich in Faerûn will immediately die socially once their identities are exposed.
This is why members of the Dragon Worship Cult continue to offer treasures to those evil dragons to help them achieve various evil purposes, but in the end very few are willing to fulfill the agreement and transform into dracolich.
Most evil dragons just regard the Dragon Cult as a group of fools who can be used, and then kick them away after using them.
Realizing that this cult, which has frightened countless people throughout Faerûn, may not even be considered a "spare tire" in the hearts of the dragons, the expression on Zuo Si's face immediately became very strange, and he continued to ask: "Well then
Won’t the Dragon Sect take revenge afterwards?”
"Revenge?"
Wilmes smiled contemptuously.
"How to take revenge?
Don't forget, their teaching is to worship the dragon as a god and believe that the world will eventually be ruled by the dragon after death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even more than 80% of the believers exist to serve the dragon.
Slightly larger strongholds will teach followers how to wipe scales, decorate dragon lairs, hatch dragon eggs, and take care of young dragons.
And after reaching an agreement with the Dragon Worship Cult, they will provide a certain amount of treasure every once in a while.
The only requirement is that when being hunted, members can temporarily hide in the dragon's lair for refuge.
In the eyes of many giant dragons, they are even similar to slaves and servants such as kobolds and orcs."
"Hahahaha! It sounds really humble." Zuo Si finally couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand why a powerful legendary spellcaster like Sammaster, who was once a chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, would create such a ridiculous organization as the Dragon Cult.
You must know that dragons are one of the most difficult creatures to tame and control in the world.
It is impossible for metal dragons from the good camp to accept transformation into the evil undead form of dracolich, so members of the organization are destined to develop color dragons from the evil camp.
But since they are all dragons from the evil camp, naturally they all put their own interests first.
Like the evil and chaotic red dragon, the black dragon may turn against him at any time and kill all the people who went to the Dragon Worship Sect.
Although the lawful evil blue dragons and green dragons are better, they are very likely to just use the people of the Dragon Cult as slaves and cannon fodder.
As for the white dragon in "The Shame of the True Dragon", he generally doesn't like to communicate.
They usually simply skip the dialogue part and attack directly, without giving the Dragon Cult members a chance to speak.
I really don’t know if Sammaster, the leader himself, would behave so humbly when facing a dragon.
Or maybe he doesn't regard the members of the organization as human beings at all, but only regards them as tools to achieve his own evil purposes.
"Do you know how many giant dragons live in the Star Swirl Mountains? How many of them are from the evil camp?"
Zuo Si thought for a moment and then quickly raised a question he was most concerned about.
He needs to confirm how many potential allies the Dragon Cult has in this area.
Wilmes lowered his head and thought for about two or three minutes, and replied in an uncertain tone: "As far as I know, there are four red dragons settled around this mountain range, not including Balagas."
"Flame". As for the green dragon, there seem to be two. The black dragon and the blue dragon are not sure. The white dragon probably won't like to build a nest in such a warm environment."
"Okay, I understand. You should also prepare a little bit and join us in tonight's action."
Zuo Si finally realized that asking questions like this was in vain.
On the one hand, Wilmes himself is not the kind of red dragon who likes to use his brain, let alone spend time collecting such intelligence and information.
On the other hand, dragons are far more defensive against their own kind than other races.
He will not easily tell anyone the exact location of his nest, even his biological parents.
