"This kind of beautiful scenery that cannot be described in words can never be seen on the ground, right?" Zuo Si asked without looking back.
At this moment, he was sitting on the three planks extending from the pier to the inside of the asteroid. His legs were completely suspended in the air. If he moved a little forward, he would fall immediately.
Due to the effect of some powerful magic, this little star is surrounded by a layer of breathable air within thirty meters, while maintaining a constant temperature of about twenty degrees Celsius.
So there is no need to worry about suffocation or the terrifying ultra-low temperature of minus 270 degrees in outer space.
"Yeah! I can't believe that the Githyanki were able to hollow out the inside of an asteroid and transform it into a habitable place.
However, according to Elon's guess, Achaiya may have sent a signal for help to the magic ship in the star realm before she died.
Maybe within a few hours to a day or two, at least one astral magic ship will arrive to check the situation."
Davian reminded with some worry.
"Relax, I have no intention of occupying this place openly.
On the contrary, I plan to leave it to Erron to deal with the aftermath.
If the Githyanki plan to rebuild this place, we use Ellon as an internal agent to make those knights and instructors into cards piece by piece.
After the top management is completely controlled, the newly born children can be educated.
Turn them into the fire that will overthrow and destroy the Githyanki militarized empire.
Rather than being an obedient slave to the Lich Queen."
Zuo Si expressed his plan meaningfully.
Use Githyanki to fight Githyanki, this was the idea that came to his mind.
After all, acquired education is always greater than innate instinct.
As long as the ideology is instilled well, it is possible to dismantle the twisted and sick Githyanki society from the inside bit by bit by spreading ideas.
Of course, this may take a long time.
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, Zuo Si just wanted to give it a try. He mainly wanted to control this star port in a relatively hidden way, and by the way, build a magic ship that could sail freely in space and even the star realm.
You must know that the so-called "magic ship" in this multiverse is completely different from the sci-fi spaceship that many people on earth understand.
As the name suggests, the magic ship is mainly driven by magical power.
Therefore, it most likely looks like a wooden sailing ship, which has been strengthened and reinforced with various magics.
It can even directly release a legendary magic, permanently transforming it into another form, driven by magical power or gravity as fuel.
In the continent of Faerûn, this technology has been invented in the era of Netheril and is widely used in exploring outer space.
But later, with the destruction of Netherese civilization, the magic ship manufacturing technology was gradually lost, and only a few parts were scattered in the hands of some high-level mages and even legendary mages.
At least in Candlekeep, Zuo Si found no records of the construction of magic ships, so he wanted to get one from the Githyanki to study.
Hearing that his master was trying to cause trouble again, Davian couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, quickly took out two books, a silver giant sword, and a scepter from his arms, handed them over, and introduced them in a low voice: "These
Books, one is "Physical Fitness Manual", which can increase physical attributes after reading, and the other is "Jingsi Volume", which can increase intellectual attributes after reading.
According to Elon, they were all trophies obtained by Achaia when she led her army to break through the mind flayer stronghold on the seventeenth floor.
The cunning commander used two magical tomes to lure all warriors, knights and red dragons in the starport to hunt more mind flayers, promising that those who performed best could take them away as a reward.p>
But in fact, she never thought about fulfilling her promise.
But now, both books are your trophies.
In addition, this scepter is the [Erasure Scepter], which can instantly destroy all magic protection, enchantments and continuous-effect spells.
It's a pity that the red dragon used it to hit the force wall and it was consumed, and now the overall structure has become very fragile.
Erron said that if you use the nine-ring wishing or miracle spell, you should be able to repair it a little bit.
Finally, there is this genuine silver sword specially assigned to the commander of the Red Dragon Knight."
"Not bad! It seems that all the good things that the female Githyanki commander was reluctant to use are now available to me."
Zuo Si took these valuable magic items and stuffed them all into his pocket.
Good things like "Physical Fitness Manual" and "Jingsi Meditation Volume" that can increase basic attributes must find time to calm down and read them, and then they can produce corresponding effects, instead of just clicking on them in the game.
That’s it.
As for the erasure scepter, he planned to take it back and give it to the lich in the organization who mastered the nine-ring magic to repair it.
This thing is an out-and-out killer weapon, its power is equivalent to the disintegration of the Nine Rings.
The only drawback is that it can only be used once.
After using it, you have to use wish or miracle to reshape it.
Otherwise, when the scepter comes into contact with a hard object, it will instantly turn into a puddle of worthless fragments.
Just when Zuo Si was looking at the last trophy, the "Silver Sword", with great interest, Erron suddenly ran out of the asteroid with a device and shouted breathlessly: "Master... Master! Yes... there is...
Responded! Two astral magic ships are coming towards the star port. It won’t be long before they pass through the barrier between planes and appear around."
"Oh? So fast!" Zuo Si showed a hint of surprise.
"Of course! This is the largest outpost on the entire planet Toril. What's more, what Achaia sent just now was the most urgent distress signal." Erron hurriedly explained.
Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, I leave this place to you. Have you figured out how to describe what happened in the star port to the Githyanki who rushed to rescue them?" <
/p>
"It's very simple! Just blame it all on the mind flayers. Anyway, the bodies have been disposed of, and there is no evidence of death." Erron calmly gave his own solution.
For the Githyanki, blaming the mind flayers for all disasters and responsibilities is simply a universal excuse and scapegoat.
No Githyanki suspects sinister intentions coming from their sworn enemy.
"Very good! Remember to report the situation to me in time after everything stabilizes, and find a way to build a stable portal to Waterdeep City."
After that, Zuo Si took Davian with him through the portal and returned to the 16th floor of the Lost City.
As a result, not long after walking back along the original path, I met three temporary teammates who had recovered.
The dwarf immediately laughed, waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Hey! You haven't encountered any monsters or dangers, have you?"
"No. Everything went very smoothly. I have found the magic network node, and it's time to go back the way we came. Because going further down is the territory of the Mind Flayer, and I don't think you want to deal with those octopus heads.
Yes." Zuo Si responded pretending to be relaxed.
"Mind Flayer? Damn it! This is one of the monsters I hate most." The dwarf cursed in a low voice.
Because in the absence of magical equipment to defend against mind control, any adventurer facing a group of mind flayers will be instantly controlled by the opponent and then become a slave who obeys orders.
What's more, he was controlled by the aboleth not long ago, and he never wanted to experience that terrible feeling again.
"Then let's go back. But how can we safely climb up the underground cliff created by the earthquake just now?" The poet looked confused.
"It's very simple! Later I will bless everyone with the second-level magic [Spider Walking Technique]. With my current spell casting level, this spell should last about two hours. During this period, everyone can be like a spider.
Just crawl on the cliff quickly. If everything goes well, you should be able to climb up."
Zuo Si quickly proposed a solution.
If it wasn't for the purpose of bringing the three people in front of him back safely, he would have opened the portal and returned directly to the Mage Tower when he was at the star port.
"[Spider Walking Technique]? What a great idea!"
The poet's eyes instantly shined.
Because this is indeed the most ideal way to solve the current dilemma.
It's a pity that as a bard, he will never learn this very practical magic during the adventure journey.
After finalizing the plan, the team quickly returned to the place where they fell.
Zuo Si used the [Memory Wand] to cast four [Spider Walking Techniques] in one go, blessing everyone except himself.
Because he himself has the elector ability - [Walking in the Air], he can walk directly up through the air, so there is no need to be so troublesome.
Soon, the entire adventure team began to climb rapidly up and down the underground cliffs that may be more than ten kilometers high.
In the end, it took more than an hour to finally return to the eleventh floor.
To be continued...
