But Zuo Si responded nonchalantly: "Why should I restrain myself? Can't I still have some little hobbies?"

The diary complained angrily: "Is this your little hobby?

Not to mention the hybrid half-dragon creatures, winter wolves, wargs and various magical beasts in the Ashcatla Wizard Tower.

In the Luskan Wizard Tower alone, you have twelve cats, seven dogs, four falcons, two leopard cubs and a tiger cub.

In addition, a large number of magical animals are also raised in the castle villa in another world.

If things continue to develop like this, it won't take long to build a zoo.

Maybe you shouldn't have chosen to be an arcane spellcaster in the first place, but would be more suitable to be a druid.

Oh, by the way, you adopted a white bear yesterday."

"Well...listening to what you said, I do seem to have a lot of pets."

Zuo Si's mouth twitched in embarrassment.

I wouldn’t know if I didn’t count them in detail. Once I took inventory, I realized that I had indeed collected and raised a few more animals.

If you include the various half-dragons being bred, there are probably hundreds or even thousands of them in total, and the number is still increasing.

No way!

As a furry controller, it is a subconscious instinct to want to take home furry animals and raise them when you see them.

Especially when conditions permit and there is no one to restrain him, Zuo Si can be said to have completely let himself go in this regard. He will keep a few by his side every time he takes a break and relaxes.

Don't ask!

The question is, petting animals can increase the secretion of dopamine in the brain and put the whole person in a happy state.

Just when the diary was still about to say a few words, Zuo Si had already activated the portal next to it and teleported directly to the entangled talisman's lair deep underground in Calim Port.

With the flash of dazzling white light, the surrounding environment directly changed from a relatively desolate demiplane to darkness.

The next second...

A dark figure suddenly jumped out of the opponent's hidden space next to him and asked in a surprised tone: "You are not the master? Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I am here to destroy the entangled talisman."

After saying that, Zuo Si raised [Talona's Favor] and smashed the opponent's head with a lightning-fast speed.

The latter didn't even have a chance to react, and his brain instantly collapsed and turned into a corpse.

With Zuo Si's current strength attribute, wielding a blunt weapon such as a scepter is basically equivalent to a human-shaped battering ram. If it hits the city wall, several bricks will fall off, let alone a flesh and blood body.

But his death obviously activated the defense mechanism here.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of mummified warriors crawled out of the coffins one after another.

At the same time, the skeleton golems and stone golems placed around were also awakened.

Zuo Si took a quick glance at the situation in the room, and after confirming that there was nothing of value, he quickly released a spell that was enough to cause a strong earthquake, and then touched a hidden portal in the hall and disappeared.

Rumble!!!!!!!

In less than a second, the originally quiet underground secret room began to shake violently.

Then the pillars that served as the support structure broke one after another, until the heavy pressure on the top caused the stone slabs to completely deform. Finally, thousands of tons of soil packed with stones fell down and buried everything.

In the next ten minutes, similar situations continued to occur.

Obviously, since all the talisman masters are currently fighting Xia En VII in the palace, and even his trusted followers have been teleported there, there is no decent defense force at all.

As for those bulky golems and slow-moving undead, as well as various triggering magic alarms and traps, they did not pose the slightest threat to Zuo Si.

A large part of it has been clearly understood by Lei Yin, who is the mole, and even specially made a topographic map of each talisman master's lair, and marked the places that need attention on it.

With these maps, Zuo Si easily destroyed the lair of the Talisman Masters, and also obtained several notebooks recording the controlled families, chambers of commerce and important figures.

You don't need to ask to know that these are the important means for them to control Calimshan and even Tethyr for a long time.

No matter who you are, as long as you get these notes and the corresponding joint code words above, you can easily become the master of a large area of ​​land south of the west coast of Faerun, and make those high-ranking nobles, wealthy businessmen and guild leaders obey you like dogs.

The order given, even if he is just a beggar on the roadside.

Because in order to ensure the safety of all talisman owners, the entangled talisman adopts a node-centered one-way contact method.

Each Master of Symbols is equivalent to a node in the underground network, and he has full control over every line connected to this node.

In other words, the Lord of Talisman knows how many families, how many guilds, how many chambers of commerce, as well as bandits, mercenary groups, and adventurers he controls.

But these controlled guys don’t know who is controlling them, and more than two-thirds or more have never even heard of the name of the organization Tangled Talisman.

The only thing they can identify is the connection code mentioned in these notes.

So to a certain extent, these notes are the essence of the Entangled Talisman, a huge network spread across Calimshan and Tethyr.

Unfortunately, Zuo Si only found two life boxes during the sweep.

One of them is known without asking, it must be Sapu Herakta.

Dracolichs are different from ordinary lichs. Their phylacteries must be surrounded by dragon corpses or bones as containers of souls before they can be resurrected. Therefore, there is basically no way to hide them and they are very easy to find.

As for the second phylactery, it is Kartak Spelser whose spellcasting level is second only to Lagon.

Since he was destroyed once two hundred years ago and was only resurrected by a few carefully worded wishing spells a few decades ago, he chose to set the gems made into a phylactery on a pendant, and then hung it on a girl's body.

neck and imprisoned him in the room of his lair.

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

In this way, even if the enemy kills him and invades the lair, it will be difficult for him to notice the small jewelry worn around the neck of a girl.

Of course, it’s okay even if you notice it.

After all, not everyone has strong ability to identify magic items.

It is more likely that he snatched it as a piece of jewelry worth a few dollars and put it in his pocket.

It has to be said that Kartak Spelser's move is similar to Lagon's placing the phylactery in the demiplane.

If Zuo Si hadn't had permanent magical vision, an eye of knowledge, and a planeswalker's natural sensitivity to energy, he might have been deceived.

At least at first glance, he didn't realize that the pendant around the girl's neck was the phylactery, until the pendant fell out of her collar when the latter ran.

Right now, this girl has been temporarily sent back to the Mage Tower for resettlement, and we will wait until everything is over.

"Sigh - only three life boxes were found in the end? It seems that my luck was a bit bad this time. I thought I could find at least four or five." Zuo Si sighed regretfully.

"There is nothing we can do about it.

For lichs, hiding their phylactery is a top priority, and usually they won't tell it to anyone other than themselves.

But with the phylactery of Lagon, Saphurakta and Kartak Spelser, I think it is enough.

As for the remaining ones who cannot hold up the Entangling Talisman at all, they should soon choose to escape Calimshan and hide in a deserted place, basically posing no threat."

The diary stated his point of view directly.

Due to the different growth experiences of each lich, their understanding of the word safety is also completely different.

Some lichs will choose to place the phylactery in a well-defended mage tower, and set up enough mechanisms, traps, summoned creatures and constructs for layer-by-layer protection;

Some will find a secret corner to hide, and then add a little disguise and deceptive illusions;

Some will be handed over to trusted friends, and their subordinates will be responsible for safekeeping;

Others simply sailed out to sea and threw them on an uninhabited desert island, or simply went deep into the bottomless depths of the sea.

In short, it is not easy to find a phylactery hidden by a lich.

Zuo Si obviously realized this and immediately said thoughtfully: "That's right. Now, it's time to turn your attention back to the ongoing battle."

"When are you going to join?" Diary asked in an uncertain tone.

"No rush. Haven't you heard that the savior always appears at the end? I need to wait for the best opportunity to make an entry." Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth and replied meaningfully.

"The best time? Do you mean..."

The diary instantly realized something, and there was a hint of shock in his tone.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right! I want to use a fatal sneak attack to confirm whether Ivicola Sagram is wearing a life-protecting gem, and how many gems he is wearing. This determines my future battle.

What strategy to use."

Life-protecting gems, as the name suggests, are powerful magical items that can block fatal attacks at critical moments. Only dragons can wear them.

It is processed into the flattest shape possible through a series of carvings and complex processes so that the dragon can sandwich it in the gaps between the scales.

Moreover, the value of each gem must not be less than three thousand gold coins. The manufacturing process requires the use of seven-ring magic [Limited Wishes] or nine-ring [Wish].

This means that even if you make a low-level light life-protecting gem with only a 25% chance of resisting fatal attacks, it will cost at least 5,000 to 7,000 gold coins.

If it is a medium-sized life-protecting gem with a 75% chance of resisting fatal attacks, the price will increase several times in an instant, and it will cost more than 20,000 gold coins in materials.

As for the heavy-duty life-protecting gems that 100% withstand fatal attacks, one costs 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins.

However, considering that carrying a heavy-duty life-protecting gem is equivalent to gaining an extra life, a mere tens of thousands of gold coins does not seem expensive.

Zuo Si felt that with Sharptooth's wealth, even if he stuffed hundreds of heavy-duty life-protecting gems under his scales, it wouldn't be worth the fuss.
