Chapter 277 Return to the Floating City(2/4)

city, and then said: "I think it is too dangerous to rush to the central tower without understanding the current specific situation of the city, especially whether there is a superior-subordinate relationship between the undead lords.

In contrast, I think it is better to capture Hull first as a logistics supply point."

"Is this city worth anything?" Jeffrey asked with a puzzled look.

"Before the outbreak of the plague, everything shipped to the Floating City of Plantia had to pass through this place. It can be said to be one of the most important transportation hubs on the ground. Moreover, the central tower later closed off contact with the outside world, so Hull is definitely

There is a lot of supplies accumulated, and it is much easier to obtain than the floating city. The most important thing is, I want to confirm whether there are survivors in this world." Zuo Si explained patiently.

Hel is the place he has been to most times in the world besides the Floating City.

Especially those gorgeous and tall stone buildings, as well as numerous fountains, gardens and vines covering the walls, all make people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.

And we have also established good relationships with some local people.

If it hadn't been for the sudden outbreak of the plague later, Zuo Si had considered buying a house in this city as his own home, and staying there for a few weeks every year to relax.

When he was in trouble before, he naturally couldn't think about these things, but this time when he came back, of course he wanted to see what was going on over there.

Are all the people you know dead?

Or were they lucky enough to escape?

"But the floating city has been closed. According to your statement, if your feet are not on the ground, they will be captured by gravity immediately. Then how can we descend to the ground?" Tailan Tier questioned.<

/p>

"Haha, it's very simple. Just send a low-level undead to jump down with this device. As long as it throws it upward the moment it lands, it can ensure that the thing that records the coordinate points will not be damaged. Then I can

Tear a small space rift."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a metal disc studded with emeralds from his bag.

Obviously, he had made considerable preparations in advance and had already thought of how to bypass the obstruction of the seal and get to the ground.

Due to the strong gravity capture, magic like climbing down a rope or floating spells will have only one final result, which is to fall hard and turn into a puddle of meat.

As for the transformation into a weightless spirit body or a solid construct, the person will be hit by the anti-magic ray the moment he jumps, and then return to his original state instantly.

So after much deliberation, Zuo Si still believes that using the power of planeswalkers' sparks to tear apart space is the safest and most secure way.

And it is obviously very easy to send a device with coordinate points down.

Soon, under the control of Vanessa, a sane orc zombie took on this crucial task.

It didn't hesitate for even a second, and jumped directly from the edge of the floating island where the mage tower was located. At the moment when its legs were about to touch the ground, it threw the metal disc in its arms upwards.

Out.

The next second...

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the zombie instantly collided with the ground and fell to pieces. Under the action of several times the normal gravity acceleration, a large amount of flesh and blood turned into a mess of flesh and blood on the spot.

Three to five seconds later, the disk also fell from the sky and landed right in the middle of the mixture, gaining a certain amount of cushioning.

After another ten minutes or so, the gems on the surface of the disc began to shine with a dazzling bright light.

After a while, an unstable portal was opened, and several lichs, including Zuo Si, quickly walked out from the other side.

They ignored the zombies that were trampled under their feet and simply recovered the coordinate disk, then blessed themselves with flying magic and headed straight towards the port city of Hull.

Because he didn't know the situation over there, Zuo Si didn't use teleportation magic rashly.

After flying for almost a day, the towering city wall finally slowly rose from the horizon.

As expected, there were no signs of any living people on the city walls, only some resurrected corpses wandering aimlessly.

They still wear the armor they wore when they were alive, but it has become rusty under the corrosion of rain and humid air, and from time to time they will make creepy roars.

"Sure enough, it's still fallen... I really shouldn't have any hope in such a densely populated place."

Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly and flew directly over the city wall into the city.

Similar to the situation in the Floating City of Plantia, the streets and alleys here are almost all occupied by all kinds of resurrected undead.

However, since the number of mages is relatively small and the level is not as high as that of the floating city, the overall threat is not great.

Several death knights brought hundreds of low-level undead creatures to kill these enemies who invaded their territory, but they were overwhelmed by fireballs, lightning and other large-scale attack spells falling from the sky.

Vanessa, who specializes in the necromancy system, also captured one of them and planned to take it back to find time to study it carefully.

After the battle was over, they opened the closed door of one of the warehouses.

Instantly!

Stacks of iron ingots, gold bars, various rare magic metals, as well as a large amount of blood, bones, furs, gems, etc. that can be used as materials for making magic items and casting spells, immediately appeared in sight.

In some cages, you can even see the corpses of dead slaves and various exotic animals that were resurrected as undead.

Since the floating city of Plantia governs a very large area, with a population of 10 to 20 million, and it continuously sucks blood from its subordinate city-states and villages, its material consumption and reserves are far from those in Faerûn which only have a few people.

It is beyond the reach of a small country with a population of 100,000 or even 1 or 2 million.

"It's unbelievable! How prosperous was this world before it was destroyed by the plague?"

Jeffrey bent down and picked up several types of gems that he had never seen before, with undisguised shock on his face.

Zuo Si responded casually: "Because there is no relationship with any gods, this world is not as severely divided and has opposing beliefs as Faerun.

There are no messy and meaningless battles between good and evil.

The mage is the absolute master who is above all living beings.

Although they are very cold and cruel, they continue to improve various technologies with rational thinking and apply magic to all aspects of production.

What's more, the supplies you see are the result of tens of millions of people supporting 15,000 mages in a floating city."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"I see. A mage living in such an environment is really happy." Jeffrey's tone revealed strong envy.

There is no way not to be envious!

You must know that most mages in Faerun are troubled by materials and funds, even the most powerful legendary mages.

But the mage of the Floating City of Plantia, who controls a large area of ​​land and a population of 10 to 20 million, has no such trouble.

Because no matter what they want, as long as it exists in this world, countless people will rush to get it for them after giving an order.

"Happiness? Maybe."

Zuo Si smiled noncommittally, then changed the topic and said: "But it was precisely because no gods were born that their civilization eventually perished in a sudden outbreak of plague.

In my opinion, God is a double-edged sword for mortals.

On the one hand, they will continue to spread their ideas, leading to serious cognitive opposition among the people and causing various social problems.

On the other hand, they can stand up and preserve the fire when civilization encounters a crisis.

As far as I know, at the end of the Netheril era, when Karsus caused the magic network to go out of control and countless floating cities fell from the sky, the second-generation magic goddess once took action to save the last three floating cities that had not yet fallen to the ground.

If God existed in this world, it wouldn’t be like this now.”

The words have not yet been spoken!

A black shadow suddenly flashed behind the warehouse and then disappeared.

Although the black shadow was very fast and its movements were very stealthy, it was still keenly captured by Zuo Si's eyes blessed with many permanent magical visions.

Out of curiosity, he immediately walked through the piles of iron ingots, gold bars and other supplies to the place where grains, cured meats and dried meats were stored at the back.

It turned out that there were indeed a few unclear looking footprints on the dusty ground.

The shelves next to it are also missing several bags filled with wheat, as well as food necessary for daily survival such as salt, spices, cured meat and dried meat.

For a moment, even Vanessa and the other lichs showed surprised expressions.

As we all know, the undead do not need to eat, only the living need to eat.

There is no doubt that the black shadow just now was not some kind of mutated undead, but a living person.

This means that not all the residents of this city died, and a small number of them escaped by hiding.

Just when Jeffrey wanted to cast a detection spell to find out where the person who came to get the food came from, Zuo Si had already discovered the secret passage hidden behind the shelf through the [True Seeing Technique], and directly opened a mouthful to use it.

A jar to hold the sauce.

As a result, when the lid of the jar was lifted, a narrow tunnel that could only accommodate a thin man was exposed.

From the pitted state of the surface and the height that only allows people to crawl on the ground, it can be basically judged that it was excavated bit by bit by pure hand.

Not to mention the undead creatures that have become swollen and enlarged, it is very difficult for Zuo Si to climb over with his current height and body shape, and he might get stuck in the narrowest places.

"A very smart approach. Even if those undead creatures are discovered, they can't get in and find the hiding place of the survivors." Vanessa commented in a low voice with interest.

"What do you plan to do with these survivors? Give them shelter, or let them become residents of the floating city in the future?" Jeffrey asked Zuo Si straightforwardly.

"Well - anyway, let's find them first and check the situation. If there are still living people left in this world, it is best to gather them and protect them, and then slowly multiply and expand around a city."

After that, Zuo Si quickly performed a simple transformation technique, changing from the appearance of a young man into a flexible house cat, jumped into the entrance, and walked quickly along the narrow passage.

As for the accompanying Lich, it released an army of undead and constructs, and began to clean up the warehouse, capturing nearby undead creatures, especially those lords who gave birth to wisdom and self-awareness.
