Chapter 278 Diary(2/4)
If the Good God Church and the Holy Warriors knew that such a holy sword was born, they would probably get it at all costs.
And this sword is the strongest trump card Zuo Si has prepared to regain the floating city.
He believes that no matter what kind of undead creature they are, they will become extremely vulnerable in front of the Holy Sword.
However, the panicked reaction of the lichs still made Zuo Si laugh. While laughing, he joked: "As lichs whose souls are stored in the phylactery, you have no need to be afraid of the holy sword. You can even use it to fight with those
The tough enemies will die together. Anyway, in a few days at most, you will be reborn next to the phylactery."
"Your Excellency, please don't joke. The fear of positive energy among undead creatures is an instinct engraved in the soul. Even lichs who retain their memories and personalities during life are no exception." Jeffrey explained with a serious expression.
He was obviously frightened by Zuo Si's unbridled ideas, and was afraid that the supreme leader of the organization would really let him do this.
Let the lich hold a holy sword and die with other undead lords?
Just imagining this scene in your mind will cause strong discomfort and rejection.
"That's really a pity. Well, I'll leave it to you here. I'll go and rest for a while, and then call me when the lords join the battle."
After that, Zuo Si took the holy sword and returned to the small room that once belonged to him in the mage tower.
Looking at the once extremely familiar furnishings and decorations, as well as the two low-level undead creatures that were constantly trampling to generate electricity day and night, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "I can't believe that it only took more than two years for me to come back.
.It’s just that this time my identity is no longer a chess piece controlled by others, but a chess player who can control his own destiny.”
"Are you remembering your lost youth?"
A thick tome hanging next to the satchel suddenly opened its mouth and made a sound without warning.
"Youth? Hahahahaha! That kind of thing no longer exists for me. As the person who carries my past thoughts, you should know this best."
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head, not surprised at all that a book spoke.
Because this book is a diary endowed with sanity using the power of the creator.
In this way, he obtained a magical creature with thoughts very similar to his own.
Unlike most other magic items that are used to gain stronger defense or attack capabilities, the greatest use of this creation, which has a very similar way of thinking to the person himself, is to have a dialogue with his past self and keep a clear mind at all times.
"No! This is just remembering.
Although you don't want to admit it, you actually still enjoyed the time you lived in the Floating City.
Although Asta is using you and forcing you to abandon the values and weaknesses in your character that have been cultivated in modern society, he has also given you many things.
Including but not limited to revered social status, the privilege of deciding the life or death of dozens or even hundreds of slaves in one sentence.
All of this is something you can’t get in today’s society.
Don’t forget, I carry your past thoughts, so I know very well what you were thinking at that time.
It is the feeling of being able to control at will and change the fate of others that shapes your current character."
The diary uses extremely sharp words to point out the subtle psychological changes that even Zuo Si himself was not aware of.
Of course, it will only express its own opinions and suggestions when there are no outsiders, and it will habitually remain silent on weekdays.
"So you think I have feelings for Asta similar to Stockholm Synthesis?" Zuo Si asked with interest, touching his chin.
The diary replied in an emotionless tone: "On the contrary, your reaction is more serious and terrifying.
At least I have never heard of anyone suffering from Stockholm Syndrome who would not hesitate to kill the person who once made him dependent.
I think you suffer from another kind of psychological problem, that is, you are always in a strong sense of uneasiness and crisis.
This is also the reason why you would launch violent revenge on those who threaten your life.
Any external stimulus that exceeds a certain threshold will trigger a violent reaction in you.
This is unusual and also makes you look dangerous in the eyes of others."
"So according to the diagnosis of modern medicine and psychology, I should be considered a patient suffering from mental illness and mental problems? And the illness is not serious?" Zuo Si couldn't help laughing and mocking himself.
In modern society, when a policeman shoots a criminal, he must undergo a series of mental evaluations and psychological counseling, not to mention the things he has experienced.
In other words, after being forced to dismember living and dead bodies for more than a year, I am lucky that I did not turn into a mentally twisted and sick lunatic.
As for other aspects, naturally we can’t ask for too much.
What's more, Faerûn is not much better. There are so many lunatics, paranoiacs, psychopaths, fanatics, devil worshipers and devil believers.
Conspirators from all walks of life are also on the stage, and there is no stable life to live at all.
In such a big environment, do you still want to be a normal person who abides by the law?
Stop dreaming!
"Modern medicine and psychology target ordinary people, and you are already different from them.
I just want to remind you not to always maintain this high-tension state of constantly fighting with others. You should also relax a little occasionally.
For example, go into a relationship with women who are obviously attracted to you.
If you like something more mature, I think Alustriel is good.
Her rich experience and gentle personality in this area can bring you an unprecedented pleasure experience.
If you like someone a bit younger, Hermione Granger is a good choice, and you can take this opportunity to get closer and train her to become a qualified helper.
If you like to obey your own words, then consider Isadora. Although she has big mental and psychological problems, she will never refuse any request you make.
As for those creatures such as tree spirits, water fairies, succubi, and lust demons that can only be used to vent desires and energy, forget about them.
In short, what you need now is to divert your attention a little and let your tense nerves completely relax."
The diary gives its own suggestions straightforwardly.
Unlike the consciousness of Strange Objects and Mage Tower, which was basically "mentally retarded" in the early stages of its birth, because the content inside recorded a large number of thoughts, it had a complete and independent consciousness from the beginning of its birth.

"I didn't expect you to actually care about my love life..."
Zuo Si's mouth twitched and he complained softly.
"I just don't want to see my master turn into a monster with endless thirst for magic and knowledge in the future. In addition, you haven't slept for almost five days, it's best to take this time to take a rest.
Just a moment."
After saying that, the diary fell into silence and no longer made any sound.
Regarding its reminders and suggestions, Zuo Si just shrugged his shoulders, obviously not taking them seriously.
Because after all, this thing is just a magical creation, carrying part of one's own thoughts and consciousness, and it may not always be correct.
In this way, after simply using a spell to clean up the dust in the room, he quickly lay down, closed his eyes and entered a state of sleep.
Although just one or two hours is not enough to restore spell and divine spells, it can greatly relieve mental fatigue.
Since gaining divine power, Zuo Si's sleep has basically not been normal and regular. He needs to prepare his magic again before he chooses to rest for up to eight hours. On weekdays, it is twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours, and seventy-two hours.
The continuous rotation of classes.
To a certain extent, he is no less crazy than Irenicas who wants to become a member of the elven gods.
While the Undead War in the Floating City of Plantia was in full swing, Luskan, the City of Thousand Sails at the northernmost tip of the west coast of the Faerûn continent, welcomed a very special group of visitors.
They are not humans, but dwarves from the ancient Mithral Hall.
The leader is the current king, the leader of the dwarf Warhammer clan, a famous adventurer who once participated in the Shattered Magic Crystal incident in Icewind Dale, and a friend of the dark elf ranger Drizzt, who successfully killed the shadow dragon that invaded his homeland.
—— Harlem Urim Shimmer, and Bruno Warhammer who recast the crown of Mithril Hall.
Because he successfully regained the former home of the Warhammer clan in 1356 DR, and was later attacked by the dark elves of Menzoberranzan in the Underdark during the Year of Troubles, he took in hundreds of the massacred dwarf survivors of Brynden City. He is now
The Mithril Hall he leads has become one of the largest suppliers of mithril, steel and various weapons and armor in the entire North.
Even because it has seized too much market share, it has aroused hostility from Miraba, which also relies mainly on minerals and metal smelting.
Although Alustriel of Silvermoon City intervened and no war broke out in the end, the private infighting never stopped.
In order to open up the market so that the things produced in Mithral Hall can be sold and exchanged for food, salt, wine, cloth and other living materials, the old dwarf had to come out of the tentacles extending southward from the mountains of the Spine of the World and cross
In the hidden forest full of dangers, carefully avoid the hostile Mirabar, and take a boat down the Mirar River to Luskan.
Of course, the so-called King of Mithral Hall, including the underground dwarfs who came to seek refuge, actually has less than a thousand subjects, and they all live in dark tunnels.
Looking at the astonishing number of stalls and bustling hawking in Luskan Market, Bruno raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked the dwarf guide following him: "What on earth is going on? I don't remember that there are so many in the City of Sails.
Businessman."
The latter smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, since the Nelanthel Islands captured Luskan, they have carried out a large-scale purge of the original thieves' guilds, pirates and lycanthropes in the sewers.
Several chambers of commerce that monopolized trade were also mercilessly banned and all their property confiscated.
When these guys who hindered trade disappeared, merchants from Amn, Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep and Neverwinter quickly swarmed in, selling the specialties they brought while purchasing various valuable goods from the North.
Moreover, the new ruler also relocated all the residents of Mingtan Island, freed all the slaves, and gave them jobs and rewards.
So the market here is showing unprecedented prosperity.
People from all the towns and villages in the surrounding areas are willing to conduct transactions here without even paying a single copper coin in town tax.
If you want to sell the weapons, armor, iron ingots and mithril we produce, this should be the ideal place.
