With the Mage Tower officially put into operation, Zuo Si once again lived the life of a "homebody" who never left the house or stepped out.
In addition to occasionally meeting with Bernard, receiving some ordered daily necessities and furniture, and giving him a design drawing for the renovation of the Crooked Crane Hotel.
The rest of the time is basically spent either doing experiments or helping a few other old mages who are coming to the end of their lifespan to make phylacteries.
You must know that not all arcane spellcasters have high enough knowledge and skills to create magic items and rare objects.
Many people don't even meet the minimum requirements to make a lich phylactery.
But now with Zuo Si's help, making the life box suddenly became easier.
Even just by casting a few corresponding high-level spells on the half-finished phylactery, they can easily obtain a phylactery of their own.
Then during the ceremony, he drinks a special poison that has been adjusted according to himself, and completes the whole process with strong willpower and desire to survive.
It can be said that Zuo Si has simplified this originally complex and cumbersome process to an outrageous level through the powerful ability of the creator.
If it weren't for the minimum level of LV11 spellcasting required to become a lich, otherwise it would be impossible to successfully transform. He could even set up a lich transformation assembly line to produce such undead spellcasters in large quantities.
After the people who completed the transformation ritual were resurrected from their dead bodies one by one, the seven lichs finally gathered together.
Counting Zuo Si as the leader, there are exactly eight people.
At this moment, they are sitting around a stone table in the secret room at the bottom of the tower, discussing the future development plan of the entire organization.
"Everyone, for the common benefit of all of us, I think everyone should share all the scrolls, spells, books, knowledge and techniques that they have collected. After all, Lord Soth has already shared the knowledge he brought from another world.
Technology and spells, there are even two books that record several nine-ring, eight-ring and seven-ring spells."
Vanessa was the first to stand up and make suggestions.
After all, to get to this point, everyone here has some "unique skills" and "truck cards".
If we can come together to learn from each other, then everyone can benefit from it.
Jeffrey immediately nodded and agreed: "Good suggestion, I completely agree. After all, Mr. Soth has shared so much valuable knowledge, we can't be too stingy. Later, I will send all the books in the library of my mage tower
, the notes and scrolls will be copied as soon as they are sent over."
"Isn't this a matter of course?"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
Several other lichs also expressed their agreement.
Because they get much more than they pay, there is no reason to object at all.
You must know that knowledge is not wealth, the more you share it, the less it will become.
Quite the opposite!
It will not become less, and it is possible that as more people learn it, it will slowly expand and create more knowledge.
This is why every spellcasting organization will find ways to increase its reserves in this area, spending a lot of money to hire adventurers, explore those ancient ruins and tombs, and collect all the magical knowledge of ancient times.
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, Vanessa immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then this matter is settled. Next is the second topic, what should our organization be called."
"Your Excellency Soth, you are the leader, and I think you have the most say in this regard." Jeffrey turned his attention to Zuo Si, who was sitting on the main seat.
"Name? Hmm... Since our goal is to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and other magic-related things, and we act in a low-key and secretive manner, why not call it [Arcane Secret Society]."
Zuo Si thought about it for a while and gave a name that he could think of.
In fact, according to his original intention, he didn't even remember the name at all, just called it "organization".
It can not only confuse the public, but also make it easier to pin the shit on the heads of evil organizations such as the Zhentarim, Shadow Thieves, and Dragon Cult.
But unfortunately, in Faerûn, if an organization does not even have a decent name, it will be difficult to attract any talents.
"[Arcane Secret Society]? It sounds pretty good. From now on our organization will be called this name."
Jeffrey was the first to agree.
Everyone else nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the name.
After having the name of the organization, Vanessa went on to raise the third topic: "Your Excellency Soth, what is our development direction at this stage?"
"Direction of development?"
Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never thought about this problem.
Seeing this, Vanessa immediately explained: "Although the main goal of the organization is to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and magic-related things.
But all this costs a lot of money, and magic research also requires a lot of valuable materials.
Therefore, we must first find ways to increase revenue.
I personally think that the first step should be to use the Kingdom of Tethyr as the basic base, and unite to monopolize the arcane magic in this area, so that the local lords become dependent on us, so as to earn a lot of wealth.
In the second step, you can establish strongholds in coastal cities such as Mailatma, Zazespo, Mulan, Velen, and Askatra, and actively develop from the Racing Strait to the Nelanthel Islands, striving for complete conquest and control.
Pirates in this sea.
By then, even if merchant ships are not robbed, substantial funds can still be obtained by collecting protection fees.
Moreover, many of the islands in the Nelanser Archipelago are quite large and can be developed to build cities and villages.
The third step is to use this island as an advance base, and we can go north to compete with the pirates of the Whalebone Islands for control of the Sword Coast.
Once we defeat and conquer the Whalebone Islands and completely take control of the Northern Sword Coast, we can force the Arcane Brotherhood, which controls Luskan, the City of Thousand Sails, to cooperate with us.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Then wait for the right moment to launch an attack, defeat the Arcane Brotherhood in one fell swoop, and seize everything they have.
By that time, the most prosperous trade route on the west coast of Faerûn will be under our control.
Whether it is Waterdeep, Neverwinter, or Baldur's Gate, which are city-states that rely entirely on sea trade to survive, or countries like Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan that also rely on sea trade to prosper, they must ask for help.
We pay taxes, play by the rules we set, and obey our will.
In today's era, whoever controls the ocean is equivalent to controlling those important coastal port cities and trade nodes, and can gain huge wealth and power from them..."
Damn it!
Sea power theory?
Zuo Si was instantly shocked.
Although he had long noticed that Vanessa was the only one among all the new lichs who showed a strong desire for power.
But I never expected that the other party would be able to formulate such a grand and highly executable plan.
Because whether it is the pirates of the Nelanthel Islands or the pirates of the Whalebone Islands, their ability to fight head-on is almost useless to a powerful lich.
The latter can easily kill the former including people and boats.
What's more, there are currently two people with mind control abilities around Zuo Si. One is the strange object in Wilmes' mind, and the other is Bernard's sister Isadora.
This means that it is completely feasible to integrate the originally loose and contradictory pirates by forcibly modifying the memory.
As for the Arcane Brotherhood, they are probably the most hip-looking among all the spellcasting organizations in Faerûn.
The level of spellcasting, including the leader and several tower owners, is not high, and the internal fighting is more serious than that of the red-robed mage. Even high-level officials often die from daggers from behind.
Therefore, Vanessa's idea of killing the Arcane Brotherhood and seizing Luskan, the City of Thousand Sails, is not difficult at all to realize.
Anyway, except for Zuo Si, the Arcane Society is a group of lichs, so there is no need to worry about death.
As long as a few suicidal sneak attacks are carried out to eliminate the opponent's top leaders at any cost, the low-level mages and apprentices below will soon collapse.
All that's left is to clean up the mess and let Luskan's pirates, merchants, and citizens recognize their new ruler.
There is no doubt that this grand blueprint painted by Vanessa is a huge temptation for everyone present.
Because it does not need to collide head-on with those powerful organizations with gods as their backing, it is basically picking up the weak persimmons, and it can also bring huge benefits.
Whether they are pirates or the Arcane Brotherhood, without exception, they are all notorious villains. Even if other forces know that someone is trying to mess with them, they will just applaud.
The risk is low and the reward is high, even Zuo Si feels a little excited.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a long time, he finally raised his head and said: "In principle, I agree to implement the first and second steps, and let the third step go a bit. The environment in the North is relatively complex. After confirming that it is Waterdeep City,
Before the attitude of the Lords Alliance led by Silvermoon City and Neverwinter City, it would not be a wise move to attack the Arcane Brotherhood and Luskan."
"Understood. Please rest assured that I will act as low-key as possible according to your request."
After receiving a positive answer, Vanessa suddenly fell into ecstasy and gave her assurance without hesitation.
Because since becoming a lich, he has completely lost all worldly desires, leaving only the endless thirst for power, knowledge and strength.
Power, in particular, can fill a strong sense of emptiness in the heart.
The development direction of the organization was established, and the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly enthusiastic.
Jeffrey even took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Soth, do you have anything to say about continuing to recruit members?"
Zuo Si pointed out two fingers: "I only have two requests.
First, at this stage, all core members must transform themselves into lichs, and the phylactery will be kept by me. Other than that, all others are peripheral members.
For peripheral members, they cannot know the existence of the organization, but they can improve their status by performing tasks and serving the organization in exchange for corresponding rewards.
When a peripheral member proves his ability and loyalty, he can apply to the organization, and then I will come forward to help him complete the lich transformation ceremony.
In short, for core members, our principle is that there is no option to withdraw.
But for peripheral members, whether they join the core or choose to withdraw, it is their own freedom."
Jeffrey nodded thoughtfully: "Understood. In other words, our apprentices cannot join the core for the time being, but they can participate in activities as peripheral members of the organization. As for those we know who are about to come to the end of their lifespan, but
For old friends who are unwilling to die like this, you can try to win them over."
"That's right. Please keep one thing in mind, that is, although you are all lich, it does not mean that you can act unscrupulously."
Zuo Si solemnly warned several lichs.
Because he knew that maybe the newly born lich would still retain some of his habits and ways of thinking.
But as time goes by, negative energy and undead instincts will gradually make them lose their humanity. Eventually, they will only pay attention to things that interest them, and not care about the rest.
If you can get what you want by killing a whole city, then those lichs who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years will definitely do it without hesitation, without considering the consequences.
This is most evident in Sammaster, the founder of the Dragon Worship Cult.
When he fought against Lathander, Lord of the Dawn, the gap in hard power between the two sides had reached a point where it could not be bridged.
But even so, the former still did not hesitate to use his last trump card to attack the incarnation of powerful divine power.
In the end, it was just a few drops of blood left by the god, while I was instantly wiped out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Many people believe that for someone like Lathander to come to the incarnation in person only to be injured by a mortal is simply a disgrace, and can be called "the shame of a god".
What's even more outrageous is that the shed divine blood was later collected by the priest as a kind of honor and displayed in the temple of the Lord of the Dawn for believers to admire.
But think about it from another perspective, if you are an ordinary person, do you hope that the patron saint of your faith can come and save you from danger at a critical moment, or do you hope that he will be indifferent and allow tragedies to happen?
The answer is obviously the former.
Almost everyone longs for a powerful and invincible hero or god to help them when they encounter difficulties and dangers.
This is why similar cliches can resonate with people again and again.
Zuo Si didn't care about the grudge between Sammaster and Lathander, nor did he want to comment too much.
But he doesn't want these guys who turned into lichs with his help to become so crazy one day.
"Understood!"
Vanessa took the lead and stood up, and together with the other six lichs, they put their hands on their chests and bowed deeply to show their submission.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I hope you can keep your word. Finally, on this special day today, I have another good news to announce to you."
"Oh? What's the good news?" Jeffrey asked curiously.
Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "I believe you have all heard the rumors about my origin.
Now, what I want to tell you is that a small part of this rumor is true.
I do come from another magical world, and there is no god in that world. At the same time, a floating city and a brilliant magical civilization have developed.
As long as the time is right, I will open the portal to one of the floating cities occupied by undead creatures and lead you to occupy it."
"What? A world without God at all?"
"A floating city full of undead creatures?"
"Oh my god! This is simply a necromancer's paradise!"
"Lord Soth. When you decide to open the portal, please be sure to take me with you."
……
Suddenly, all the lichs present fell into madness.
Because in the history of Faerûn, the floating city of Netheril and the magic lock created by the high elf mage are known as two unreplicable miracles, representing the pinnacle of magical civilization.
When they heard that someone had built a floating city in another world, and that it was an ownerless thing occupied by undead creatures, they immediately wanted to grab it at all costs.
Whether it is used as a secret base or used as a weapon in war, it will definitely not be comparable to one or two mage towers.
In this way, ending with an exciting news, the first collective meeting of the core members of the organization finally came to an end.
Obviously, Zuo Si made these new lichs full of energy by drawing a pie.
Now they are no longer servants who have to work hard to simply fulfill the agreement, or because the life box is in the hands of others.
Rather, they are a group of partners who have burst out with unprecedented work enthusiasm for their own interests and can enjoy huge dividends from the development and growth of the organization.
After sending these lichs away one by one, Zuo Si, who had been busy for several days without taking a breath, finally took the time to come to the sofa in the lounge and lay on his knees, making a squealing sound.
The transformed cat petted the cub and asked Wilmes with a smile: "How about it, are you satisfied with the new nest I prepared for you?"
"Not bad. Except for the noisy mephits and goblins, everything else is fine. I have almost moved all my treasures in, and the lair near Mylatma will be completely abandoned from now on."
Wilmes answered while stuffing a steak that looked a little burnt into his mouth.
As an evil and cruel red dragon, her favorite food was fresh and delicious young women, especially elves and half-elves.
But now I am forced to change my mind and can only eat some fish, poultry and livestock meat.
As for roasting until burnt, that was her own request.
Because the red dragon is a fire-attributed dragon, it prefers burnt food in terms of taste.
This is the same as the white dragon who likes to freeze food before eating, and the black dragon who likes to bury meat to rot and ferment before eating.
"The goblins who were transformed into werewolves didn't cause any trouble, did they?"
As soon as the goblin was mentioned, Zuo Si immediately became interested.
Through experiments, he discovered that after being transformed into a werewolf, goblins maintained their half-animal, half-human form, and their work efficiency was six times that of ordinary goblins, which far exceeded the limits of most human laborers.
Moreover, if you maintain this form and use necromancy magic to raise you up as a low-level zombie after death, it is much stronger than ordinary goblin zombies.
Coupled with the advantages of easy feeding, high fertility rate, short growth cycle...
As long as the problems caused by its chaotic nature can be solved, it is simply the most ideal raw material for coolies and necromance.
After the hobgoblin werewolf hunting team has been searching in the mountains these days, they have captured almost more than 800 goblins, all of which were infected with lycanthropy and turned into werewolves.
At present, attempts are being made to carry out militarized and obedience training.
Wilmes shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Trouble? What kind of trouble can a group of goblins cause?
The hobgoblin werewolves under your command manage them submissively without any effort.
But this kind of obedience is only superficial. Once the hobgoblin werewolves leave, they will fall into chaos again."
"Does this mean that we can only rely on violence and high-pressure measures for the time being..."
Zuo Si touched his chin and frowned.
But soon, he came up with an idea and immediately ordered the strange thing in the red dragon's mind: "Select the most obedient ones from those goblins, and then let them reproduce. As for the other goblins, all the other goblins will be castrated and sterilized.
I don’t believe that by using this kind of artificial intervention for several generations, we can’t cultivate obedient goblins.”
When Wilmes heard these words, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth and was speechless.
Although she had known for a long time that Zuo Si was a "cruel person", she never expected that he could be so cruel, and completely regarded goblins as creatures like poultry and domestic animals.
"As you wish, Master." Qiwu responded immediately.
In this way, the future fate of those goblin werewolves who were thrown into the sewer at the bottom of the mage tower was decided in just a few words.
After finishing the burnt steak on the plate, Wilmes quickly returned to the lower level of the mage tower at the urging of the strange object.
After probing the thoughts and memories of all the goblins, Strange Object quickly selected twenty male goblins and more than a hundred female goblins as samples for artificial intervention experiments.
The other goblins were castrated without exception in less than an hour.
Since they are both werewolves and have strong self-healing abilities, they are extremely rough during castration. They don't even bother to anesthetize them. The blood-curdling screams and wails echo in the sewers, scaring away the rats.<
/p>
Just when Zuo Si was about to take a stroll around the Woking Shopping District to relax, a messenger from the six-person council suddenly visited and presented an invitation letter and a money order for 40,000 gold coins.
After opening the invitation letter in person and looking at it twice, he immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Do you want me to go to Candlekeep with the envoy to participate in the peace negotiations with Baldur's Gate?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. The Council wants to use your name to scare those country bumpkins and sign a treaty that is beneficial to Amn. Forty thousand gold coins is the reward paid to you." The messenger replied with a smile.
Tao.
"What about the time? When will we set off?" Zuo Si asked immediately.
"Three days later. The envoys will be waiting for you outside the city gate."
After saying that, the messenger put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned around and took the carriage back to the administrative district.
Watching the other party gradually disappear at the end of the street, Zuo Si showed a playful smile and whispered softly: "As expected of the business empire Am, he even dares to use such despicable tricks without martial ethics. But it doesn't matter, I don't know how to do it anyway.
I was planning to go to Candlekeep."
There is no doubt that this negotiation is to resolve the border war that broke out between Baldur's Gate and Amn not long ago.
Or it could be called "Steel Holocaust".
As you can tell from the name, this is a local conflict caused by the steel trade friction.
Among them, Amn suffered casualties of almost 4,000 troops, while Baldur's Gate suffered 2,500 casualties, which can be described as heavy losses.
As for the reason, of course the Amn merchants who control the iron ore resources in Naxikai are greedy and want to raise the price of steel products in the Baldur's Gate area through hoarding and monopoly.
As a port city that also started out as a trade company, how could the merchant class of Baldur's Gate suffer such a loss? They immediately prepared to attack Naxikai to seize the iron ore.
In the end, the two sides fought over this steel-producing town.
But now, as the war is in a stalemate, no one can take advantage, so the problem can only be solved through negotiation.
The idea of the six-person review is very simple, that is, to use the name of the electorate of Talona, the goddess of poison and plague, to intimidate the representatives of Baldur's Gate.
The subtext is that if you don’t give in, we will use large-scale indiscriminate attacks such as plague.
As for why the negotiation venue was chosen in Candlekeep, of course Candlekeep is an absolutely neutral place, established by followers of Ogma, the God of Knowledge, and does not belong to the sphere of influence of either side.
After thinking about this, Zuo Si immediately began to count the little cash he had left.
This includes the 70,000 gold coins I got from selling poison to the shadow thief, the almost 100,000 gold coins left from the previous construction of the mage tower, and the funerary objects found in the catacombs of the Bent-Necked Crane Hotel, which were also sold for more than 60,000...
The total sum of all these people may be just over 200,000 yuan.
Perhaps for those who just read books and consult information, such a large amount of money will never be spent.
But the problem is that Zuo Si has been rushing to copy all the books and scrolls in Candlekeep from the beginning.
So this little money is far from enough.
"Damn! Building this mage tower really cost me money. It seems that I can only sell some magic items that are temporarily unused to save money."
After that, he quickly counted out a batch from the inventory and put it into a dimensional bag, then took two summoned creatures and went straight to the Woking Mall area.
……
At the same time, in the sewers of the Waking Mall area, Irenekas was standing in the secret stronghold he had just established, staring at the elf woman who had just climbed out of the jar and had a breathtaking beauty, and her eyes suddenly burst out at the same time.
It embodies two strong, complex and contradictory emotions, love and hatred.
"I...who am I?" the beautiful elf woman asked with a confused look on her face.
At this moment, she was completely naked, showing off her graceful figure.
"Your name is Alistar! She was my former lover." Erinikas said meaningfully.
"Alixing? Lover? Why don't I remember anything?" The female elf shook her head desperately trying to regain her memory.
But unfortunately, no matter what she did, she could not recall even a little bit of the content. It was like a newly born baby whose past memory was completely blank.
Irenekas slowly walked closer, held the other person's face with both hands, kissed him directly with a very aggressive movement, and then pressed the other person under him and demanded crazily.
A full ten minutes later, when all the uncontrollable strong impulses in his heart were vented, he finally returned to his usual rationality and coldness.
As for the woman on the ground, known as Ali Xing, she has completely turned into a lifeless corpse.
To be precise, he was strangled to death.
Irenekas didn't even look at the corpse. He chanted a spell and released a six-ring [Dissociation Technique], disintegrating it into a pile of meaningless dust on the spot.
The vampire Badi, who stood aside and watched the show for a long time, couldn't help but smile and asked: "Why, my dear brother, you still can't forget the elf queen who made us look like this?"
"How could I forget! I want revenge a thousand times or ten thousand times for the hurt and pain she caused me. No one can stop my revenge, not even God." Irenekas said firmly.
said.
"That's right! Revenge! We will let Sodanisla burn! Kill all those damn elves." Badi roared with a bloodthirsty look on his face.
Obviously, the fire of hatred in the hearts of these two people is burning brightly.
However, compared to Bati, who is easily affected by the bloodthirsty nature of vampires, Irenicas seemed to be calmer and asked directly: "Has there been any result about what I asked you to investigate last time?"
"Of course! That strange siphon phenomenon was actually caused by a mage tower.
Its owner is a guy named Soth, who looks like a human boy of about ten years old.
However, his origin is not ordinary. He is not only the chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, but he is also a visitor from another world.
What, do you want to take advantage of him?"
Badi narrowed his eyes and cautiously probed.
"God's chosen people?"
Irenekas frowned subconsciously when he heard the news.
Since he was sanctioned by members of the Elf God System not long ago, he is now both afraid of creatures like gods and wants to study them.
"Do you want me to plan an ambush against Soth?" Badi asked meaningfully.
Ericas was obviously hesitating, and after about half a minute he nodded slightly: "Of course! But we can't personally attack this ambush, let alone expose our own existence."
"You mean...hiring the Emerald Society?"
Badi understood something immediately, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a chilling smile.
"Yes! Promise some knowledge, technology and magic scrolls, and let the senior members of the Emerald Society take action. Regardless of success or failure, we can hide in the dark and take the opportunity to collect some intelligence on this electorate."
Erinikars spoke her mind directly.
As a powerful outsider mage, he came into contact with this underground organization dedicated to overthrowing the Masked Mage Guild not long after he came to Ashcatla Corporal Road to establish a stronghold.
Even the large amounts of alchemy and experimental equipment around were secretly transported by the other party through various channels.
The purpose of the Emerald Society is very simple, that is, to win over this amazingly powerful mage and find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack to kill the top masked mage and weaken his control over Amn.
It's a pity that these poor guys don't know that Joan Irenikas is not interested in overthrowing the monopoly of the Masked Mage Guild.
He just uses the Emerald Society as a tool that can be used, just like he is also using the Shadow Thieves of Amn.
"I understand. I'm going to negotiate with the people from the Jade Association now. I believe they won't refuse."
After saying this, Badi instantly turned into a bat and flew quickly in the narrow passage, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Watching the vampire leave, Irenicas turned around and glanced at the dozens of huge glass jars that were as tall as a person behind him, as well as the clone of Elf Queen Elixin in the jar. A cruel smile appeared on his face, and he woke up again.
One of them.
Torture!
Abuse!
Vent!
He is using this method to satisfy his twisted and morbid desires.
Because if you don't do this, Irenicas will be completely swallowed up by the growing madness in his heart.
……
However, Zuo Si obviously didn't know that he was being targeted again and was bargaining with several adventurers who wanted to buy magic weapons and armor at the adventurer market.
"Fifteen thousand gold coins! This is the lowest price I can give.
Look at the blue scales on this armor. It is made of blue dragon skin and can help you resist and absorb most of the lightning damage.
It is also blessed with permanent [Protection from Evil], allowing the wearer to gain more advantages when dealing with enemies from the evil camp."
Zuo Si held in his hand the armor made of blue-footed dragon snake leather and said.
Yes!
He sells the blue-footed dragon snakeskin armor as blue dragon leather armor.
Most people have never seen a blue dragon anyway, let alone the difference between dragon scales and blue-footed dragon snake scales.
In addition, both have strong lightning resistance, so the possibility of being exposed is very low.
Especially when there is not even a single spellcaster in the customer team.
What's more, in the business empire of Amn, almost all merchants are using such promotional methods.
For example, the stall owner at the stall next to him was bragging that his weapons and armor were all made by dwarven craftsmen.
But in fact, Zuo Si just saw him purchasing goods in a human-run blacksmith shop more than half an hour ago.
"Damn! Fifteen thousand gold coins is too expensive!"
The man who looked about thirty years old and had short black hair couldn't help but complain.
But the female companion standing next to him comforted: "But this armor is worth the money, isn't it? Although I am not a leatherworker, I can see that it is well made and has defense comparable to the strongest half-body armor.
Strength. Coupled with the resistance to lightning, it will definitely protect your safety in future adventures."
"Oh - okay, okay, I'll pay."
The man sighed slightly, reluctantly took out a stack of money orders from the Temple of Wojin, the goddess of wealth, from his backpack and handed it to Zuo Si.
Then without saying a word, he took off the metal armor on his body and put on the blue-footed dragon snake armor that glowed with blue light.
After moving his hands and feet a little, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he exclaimed: "Unbelievable! This armor does not affect the movement of the joints at all."
"Of course! I told you from the beginning, all the weapons and armors here are of the highest quality. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and they are expensive for a reason." p>
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zuo Si, who made a huge profit, was satisfied and stuffed the money order into his bag.
He now finally understands the happiness of Elsa, the magic items merchant in Calimport.
Because of the armor just sold, except for the valuable skin of the Green-footed Dragon Snake, which is probably worth about three thousand gold coins, the remaining cost is basically negligible.
In addition, during the production process, thanks to the creator's special ability, not even five minutes were used in total.
Zuo Si only needs to slightly shape the joints that are difficult to handle in the eyes of other leatherworkers.
And this kind of armor can net you more than 10,000 gold coins every time you sell one piece, which is faster than making money from robbery.
The man smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes sense. By the way, besides armor, do you have any good weapons to recommend here?"
"Weapons? It depends on what kind of weapons you are good at. I have two-handed swords, long swords, half-handed swords, one-handed axes, two-handed axes, spears, javelins, war hammers, compound bows..."
Zuo Si pointed at the various weapons placed on the stall and introduced them one by one.
You don't need to ask to know that all the weapons he sells are out-and-out magical weapons.
Some of them include captured trophies, as well as works made by myself in my spare time just to verify certain magic techniques or imagination.
"Well, I personally am better at using long swords. If possible, it would be best if it can be damaged by fire or acid." The man quickly made the request.
"Fire and acid? Are you going to deal with trolls?" Zuo Si asked curiously.
The woman smiled and replied: "That's right. We received a commission to go to the troll mountainous area west of the Serpent Forest. We need a magic weapon that can kill trolls with unlimited regeneration capabilities."
"I see. Then I solemnly recommend this acid fire sword to you. When it hits an enemy, it can not only cause additional acid damage, but also has a certain chance of releasing a meter-long tongue of high-temperature flames. It is absolutely
The most ideal weapon to deal with trolls."
With that said, Zuo Si picked up a long sword with an emerald green light from the stall and handed it to the other party.
Without saying anything, the man took it and waved it hard twice. He immediately noticed the magical power attached to the sword body and hilt, and asked in a very nervous tone: "How much does this sword cost?"
"It's not expensive, it only costs the same price as the armor just now."
Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile that made everyone in the adventure team feel creepy.
As soon as he heard the number fifteen thousand, the expression on the man's face froze for an instant. Then he carefully put the sword back into the stall and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I can't afford this weapon with the money I have left."<
/p>
"It doesn't matter if you don't have enough cash. I can also use gems, books, scrolls and other trophies obtained during the adventure to offset the price."
Zuo Si generously proposed a solution.
In fact, he had already seen that the adventuring team in front of him was quite capable, and there must be valuable and free trophies on them.
Otherwise, the average adventure team cannot afford expensive magic equipment.
"Oh? Really? I have a book found in the ruins here. Let's see how much it is worth."
As he spoke, a small dwarf thief next to him took out an ancient book with a badly damaged cover from his backpack.
Zuo Si took it and first carefully cast a three-ring magic [Secret Vision], and immediately saw the black-red arcane aura emanating from the book.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely filthy and evil magical book.
Although the concealment is very good, there is no way to hide in front of [Secret Vision].
When you open the contents inside, all you see are all kinds of mysterious symbols arranged in a messy manner. If you look at them for a long time, you will even feel numb in your hands and feet, dizziness, and nausea.
In the eyes of people who don’t understand magic at all, this is a worthless book, and it’s even hard to use as a wiping paper.
But in Zuo Si's eyes, these messy symbols were rearranged in just a few seconds, forming one after another horrific sacrifices and summoning rituals written in Abyssal language, and even recorded the names of some powerful demons.<
