Ioma Island is the largest island in the Nelanthel Islands and has the richest freshwater resources. It is also the most suitable island for settlement and farming.
As early as hundreds of years ago, this place was built with slaves plundered by pirates and became a medium-sized port town.
The town has a small ship repair yard, a blacksmith shop for making weapons and armor, a carpentry room for processing and manufacturing wooden boards, several taverns and hotels dedicated to serving pirates, and a store responsible for purchasing and storing goods and various trophies.
Warehouse.
The rest are small-scale plantations opened by slaves, pirates and their families, as well as strongholds built by black marketeers who had business dealings with pirates.
In short, the scale is not large, with no more than a thousand people at its busiest time.
The purpose of its existence is simply to provide a place for sailors who have been at sea for a long time to go ashore to vent their anger and get drunk.
However, since Eric won the decisive naval battle and completely brought the Sword Sea area under his control, it became the first place to be officially included in the development plan.
In just over a month, the originally dirty, narrow and dilapidated town was completely demolished.
Instead, there are carefully planned port areas, high-end residential areas, civilian residential areas, warehouse areas, administrative areas, commercial areas, cemetery areas, workshops and handicraft areas, etc.
At present, not only has a towering lighthouse been built in the entire port area with the help of magic, but the plank roads and supporting facilities for docking ships are also basically completed.
There are also many houses scattered in the residential area, and they are even equipped with running water and sewer systems.
The streets look exceptionally clean and tidy, which is a huge difference from the previous dirty and smelly environment.
And all of this is completely the result of thousands of undead creatures who never tire as laborers, working day and night to construct.
All the skeletons and zombies are basically the pirates who refused to surrender, or pretended to surrender and then secretly connected with each other.
Through necromancy magic, the Lich first kills them and then pulls them up to make up for the serious shortage of labor on the Nelanthel Islands.
It is foreseeable that a new seaport city will rise here soon.
In addition to building cities, some undead were sent to reclaim wasteland on a large scale and plant food and cash crops.
At present, all islands with fresh water resources basically either plant large areas of sugar cane, or plant wheat, rice and some vegetables and fruits, depending on the climate and environment.
Looking at it from a high place, you can see that green buds are already growing in the large flat fields.
Since the location and climate of the Nelanser Islands are typical of the tropics, not only does it have sunshine and abundant rain all year round, but the temperature never drops below 16 degrees Celsius, so it is very suitable for the growth of crops.
If nothing else happens, we will have a big harvest in three or four months.
By then, not only will the food rations of the island residents be met, but there will also be surplus available for trade.
Anyone who is not an idiot will realize that the long-standing disorder and chaos in Nelanthel Islands is about to end after seeing this scene.
A new city-state or even country will rise in this sea area and become a force that cannot be ignored.
Standing on the balcony of the recently built castle halfway up the mountain, Eric looked down at the city that would soon be his in name. Without looking back, he asked: "How many refugees were sent to the port today?"
And slaves?"
A middle-aged man who was not dressed like a pirate at all quickly replied: "About three hundred refugees from the Kingdom of Tethyr escaping the war, and more than a hundred slaves rescued from illegal slave ships.
Among them, those who could farm and raise livestock were assigned to farms in the countryside.
The rest were left in the city's workshops to learn skills.
I have to say, those mages are really talented.
It turns out that coarse salt that can be eaten is really produced on Koka Island.
Now we only need to transport the coarse salt back and then carry out a few further processes to produce the kind of high-quality white salt without any impurities or odor.
Many businessmen saw this kind of salt and placed a large number of orders, and it would even take two or three months to complete the delivery.
In addition, the sugar factory has also begun to produce a large amount of white sugar, rock candy and various fruity hard candies.
Even the residue left over from sugar extraction can be used for fermentation and wine making.
Currently, half of the merchant ships in the harbor come for salt, and the other half come for sugar.
They transported sugar cane, sugar beets, grain, poultry and livestock from the countries around the Shining Sea and Steam Lake in the south, and then took salt and sugar with them when they left, basically forming a stable trade route.
Coupled with the monopoly on the main route from the Sword Sea to the Northern Sword Coast and the collection of protection fees from passing merchant ships, the tax alone will become quite considerable.
Based on the shares you hold in it, you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins even if you do nothing for a month.
And the money will become more and more as time goes by."
"Not bad! It seems that I made the right bet, doesn't it?" Eric pursed his lips and showed a proud smile.
Although he lost the direct command of the huge pirate fleet after the decisive naval battle, he got the stable life he dreamed of.
There is no need to fight for one's life on the dangerous sea just to make a living as before.
As for the betrayed fellow pirates, they had just been brutally purged not long ago, and then Vanessa sent a retired naval officer who was hired to retrain and reorganize the remaining ones.
Anyone who shows disobedience to orders during the reorganization and training process, or who is dissatisfied and wants to stir up rebellion will, without exception, be sent to Zuo Si's mage tower to receive the "influence (brain modification)" of strange objects.
When they come back, they will become dull and stupid, completely lose their ability to think, and become puppets who obey orders.
Especially for chaotic and evil monsters like orcs, ogres, gnolls, bugbears, and tauren, basically no one escapes the net.
In contrast, the evil and lawful hobgoblins transformed themselves into captains or first mates through their devotion to loyalty.
Coupled with the human officers recruited from the Kingdom of Tethyr, the originally chaotic pirates were transformed into a powerful and disciplined navy.
At present, the military power of the newly established regime in the Nelanthel Islands is almost entirely in the hands of the lichs of the Arcane Order.
However, the middle-aged man in a formal dress obviously didn't know this, and quickly squeezed out a flattering smile and responded: "Of course! All this prosperity and order are thanks to your wise decision. I only mean that by relying on this
The merchants who make their living along the maritime trade routes would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you."
Eric sneered and waved his hand: "Forget the boring compliments. Have you found the person I asked you to find?"
"Yes. Based on the clues you provided, we found two targets in Darauma along the Is River, both in age and appearance. If nothing else, they should have been hidden by Hallet.
Mistress and daughter." The middle-aged man reported carefully.
"Very good! Help me get them both here. It doesn't matter whether it's kidnapping or deception. Anyway, I want to see them appear in this city within two months. If you can do it, I will appoint you.
Be the mayor of this city. But if you can’t do it, then don’t appear in front of me again.”
When saying these words, Eric did not hide his naked desire at all.
Because he longs to use this extremely twisted and morbid way to vent all the pressure he endured when Hallett was dominating him.
"As you wish!"
Knowing that he could become a powerful figure in this emerging city as long as he accomplished this, the middle-aged man's eyes shone with ambition.
As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, he could already predict that Eric, who controlled the Neransir Islands, the Racing Channel and the northern Korin Islands, would sooner or later become the unrivaled overlord of this sea, so he did not
He traveled thousands of miles from the distant city of Ariwen in the south and took the initiative to seek refuge.
If he can become the mayor, then he and his family can settle down on the island and become a member of the ruling class of this emerging force.
Obtaining a noble title in the future is just around the corner.
After watching the merchant leave the castle, Eric immediately turned around and went to the secret room on the top floor. He put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Vanessa, a lich.
"Master, with the magic chart you created, the fleet has basically controlled the movements of all ships on the west coast of Faerûn. So far, no merchant ship can escape our eyes. Do you think you can start?
Are you ready for the second step of your plan?"
"Well! It's time to inform all fleets that in the future, any ships that want to dock at Baldur's Gate or sail out from Baldur's Gate will be charged three times the protection fee. As for the reason, that's it.
We declare to the outside world that Baldur's Gate is an evil city-state like Luskan. We are on the side of justice and impose trade sanctions on it."
Vanessa nodded straightforwardly and agreed, and casually made up a reason.
"Justice? Trade sanctions?"
Hearing these unheard of new terms, the corner of Eric's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He really couldn't think of anything about him, who was born as a pirate, or his peers who were also born as pirates, that could be related to the word "justice".
As for the so-called "trade sanctions", although he knew every word, he couldn't understand them all together.
Looking at the pirate leader who had been very obedient recently, Vanessa said meaningfully: "No matter what you do, you must first place yourself on the side of justice, and then stand on the moral high ground and accuse your opponent of being evil. This is
It is the most commonly used method in political struggles. If you want to become the king of the Nelanthel Islands, you'd better learn a little bit. Otherwise, it will be difficult to secure this position."
"Damn! It seems I have to hire a teacher for myself." A wry smile appeared on Eric's face.
You must know that when he first learned to read and write Common Language, he spent almost a whole year.
But for the sake of his future power and status, this guy finally made up his mind. After returning, he sent someone to spend a lot of money to hire a court scholar to teach him how to be a qualified king.
After receiving a positive answer, Eric quickly left the castle and sent the latest instructions to the fleet captains cruising on the sea through the latest magic props and magic messages one after another.
Not only that!
He also concentrated the ships with the highest combat effectiveness at the junction of the Sword Coast and the Sword Sea, ready to deal with possible counterattacks from Baldur's Gate.
After all, although this port city does not have a very powerful professional navy, it can still pull out dozens or even hundreds of merchant ships.
If those stupid dukes wanted to have a naval battle, Eric would directly sink or capture all the other party's ships.
Use practical actions to declare to all the port cities in the surrounding sea areas that you are the well-deserved king of this sea area.
Not long after the pirate leader left, a young man who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old also came to Vanessa's room and performed a standard mage ceremony: "Teacher, as you requested, I have completed the task of treating the feet under my feet.
The formation of the city’s governing institutions and bureaucracy.”
"Well done. You are indeed the best apprentice I have taught in all my studies." Vanessa praised with satisfaction.
"I'm not worthy of it. I have studied magic for twelve years, but now I am only a level 7 mage. But I am a little strange, why did you and Master Jeffrey suddenly interfere in the affairs of the Nelanser Islands?"
The young man asked with a confused look.
"Haha, it's very simple. Researching advanced magical knowledge and skills requires a lot of money. And controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the most important maritime trade route in the southern part of the west coast. If everything goes well, Jeffrey and I will not have to pay for research in the future.
I'm worried about funds." Vanessa explained half-truthfully.
Although he really wanted to tell this most beloved disciple the truth and then invite him to join the organization and become a core member.
But considering that transforming a lich requires a minimum casting level of LV11, we still have to give up temporarily.
What's more, since the other party is still so young, it is very likely that he will refuse because of his greed for worldly desires.
But it doesn’t matter.
After a few decades, the young and strong body begins to slowly age, and the whole person gradually loses energy, and then you will be able to feel the benefits of becoming a lich.
"That's it!" The young man nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, I have another news to report to you. It is said that recently, someone saw a ghost ship in the area where the last sea battle took place." "Ghost ship?" Vanessa frowned subconsciously.
As a necromancer, he is very aware that the legends about ghost ships in most sea areas are just stories made up by drunken sailors to scare people.
But despite these false information, some ghost ships are real.
Some of them are captains and sailors who are unwilling to die. They are transformed into skeletons or zombies with bodies in places where negative energy gathers. Others are transformed into incorporeal undead creatures such as ghosts and wraiths.
The former is not bad, as long as a few fireballs hit it and sink it, the ghost ship will naturally disappear.
But if it is the latter, it will become very troublesome.
The reason is simple!
When the souls are attached to the hull, they will use various things to repair the damaged ship, giving it extremely terrifying destructive power.
Some powerful enough banshees can even simulate the nine-ring [Banshee's Wail].
With one voice, you can kill a large number of living creatures around you in an instant.
The young man responded with a serious expression: "Yes, it is a ghost ship. I personally went to investigate the waters and found that there is negative energy remaining. In other words, if nothing else, this ghost ship is real." p>
"Okay, I understand. Here, this is your reward for completing this mission."
As she spoke, Vanessa threw several scrolls and a book to her apprentice.
"Thank you very much!"
The young man quickly caught it and turned away happily.
Since you can get contribution points by completing the corresponding tasks, and then choose what you need from the reward list to redeem them, the apprentices who were sent here were very motivated.
After all, compared with having the instructor decide what to learn, this "clearly priced" change is obviously more in line with young people's appetite.
Similarly, the lichs have also discovered that through this simple and easy-to-understand motivation method, they only need to pay very little to improve their apprentices' enthusiasm for work and study.
As a result, they expanded their recruitment scope, and even some "wild mages" were attracted and unknowingly became peripheral members of the organization.
However, Vanessa didn't pay too much attention to the news about the ghost ship.
His most important task at this stage is to make the Dukes of Baldur's Gate who publicly humiliated Zuo Si pay a heavy price for this.
The economic blow is just the beginning, and there will be a whole set of combination punches to follow.
With Vanessa's character of revenge, if she cannot completely destroy the development potential of Baldur's Gate, then this revenge will not be complete.
……
At the same time, far away in the underground of the Ashkatra Mage Tower in the capital of Amn.
Thousands of goblins who have transformed into werewolves are wielding picks, shovels and hoes to dig out caves and tunnels in places that have been dug by ground worms.
Three hobgoblins who also transformed into werewolves kept taking turns whipping those who tried to be lazy and slippery.
After a long period of excavation, an intricate maze structure has been formed underground in Zuo Si’s mage tower.
In some relatively large areas, a large number of mushrooms and moss have been planted.
Torches with everlasting flames hung on the ceiling above their heads can provide the latter with a small amount of light necessary for growth.
In addition, they also raise some creatures that are special to the underdark region - Los beasts, which are actually a type of cattle that can survive in dark environments.
How can the milk of this creature be made into cheese? The meat can be eaten, and the bones, leather and hair also have their own uses. They are the most commonly raised livestock by various intelligent races in the Underdark.
Through the secret channel provided by the shadow thieves, the Mage Tower spent money to purchase a batch of milk, and used the milk they produced as one of the means to supplement nutrition and calcium for the goblins.
In particular, those goblins who have been manually screened for high obedience and their descendants can get a cup of fresh milk every day.
After a period of time, you can clearly see that the latter's height and body shape have become much larger than similar ones.
They no longer engage in heavy physical labor with a very high casualty rate, but are trained to become warriors, assisting the hobgoblins in strictly managing this large goblin community.
Every day, almost a dozen goblins with the lowest work efficiency are selected, and their brains are eaten by strange objects first, and then the bodies are thrown into the deep pits dug by ground diggers in public, so that other goblins can watch them being killed alive.
of torn into pieces.
As for those who die from overwork or accidents, they will be directly resurrected as zombies, controlled through the [Scroll of Control of the Undead], and continue to engage in tasks they did not complete during their lifetime.
Currently, the number of goblin zombies is almost the same as that of goblins.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
So there is no need to worry that the latter will riot because they can't stand it anymore.
If they dare to do this, the result will only be a brutal massacre.
More dead goblins will be transformed into low-level zombies, that's all.
Seeing the busy scene of these little monsters, Wilmes couldn't help but smile and commented: "I have to admit that when it comes to ruling and squeezing slaves, Soth does have talents that others cannot match. He always knows how to make the most of them.
The resources on hand can continue to create value even after the slave dies."
"No, you are wrong. In the eyes of the owner, creatures such as goblins, orcs and kobolds are not human beings at all, so they are treated with another standard. Strictly speaking, goblins cannot be classified as human beings.
Instead of being classified as slaves, they should be classified as domestic animals and tools." Qiwu corrected through the spiritual connection.
"Tools?"
Wilmes showed a surprised expression on his face.
Qiwu responded without thinking: "That's right. It's a tool. A living tool.
The owner will not intentionally abuse or torture them, but he will also not have any emotions towards them.
The workload of each goblin is arranged according to the upper limit of his physical strength.
This is a precise calculation in a state of absolute sanity.
As for those who failed to hold on, it is like tools that will wear out after being used for a long time, and eventually break down."
"What if there are priests or shamans among them? Goblins have their own pantheon." Wilmes asked with interest.
You must know that in Faerûn, enslaving a certain race in large quantities for a long time will have certain risks.
Because their desperate prayers will be heard by God.
God will grant those with priest qualifications magical powers and encourage them to take the lead in resistance.
But the strange thing said in a tone full of contempt: "Goblin gods? The precautions and suspicions among them are exactly the same as those of the chaotic goblins. Moreover, the incarnation of the main god Magnubiya has been attacked by adventurers more than once.
He has been killed before, and he is afraid of leaving his territory from the bottom of his heart. I don’t think he dares to provoke his master for a mere group of goblins.”
"Hahahaha! That's right! Their gods are timid and cowardly, and there is nothing to fear." Wilmes laughed and made naked mockery.
Although the level of divine power is one of the important criteria to measure whether a god is powerful or not.
But the battle between gods is very complicated.
The combat effectiveness of many gods with weak divine powers is no less than that of those with powerful divine powers.
The most typical example is Tiamat and Bahamut, the pair of dragon gods who oppose good and evil.
They all have weak divine power, and their influence on the material world is also very weak, but no god with medium or strong divine power dares to boast that he can defeat two dragon gods in a one-on-one duel.
In the same way, although the Goblin Lord Magnubier is a powerful god, the power and ability of his incarnation are really not worth mentioning.
In Faerûn alone, the number of recorded kills exceeds hundreds.
Even many high-level spellcasters and warriors have killed the incarnation of this god.
Many adventurers who defeated or even killed the incarnation of Magnubia might not have known that they had inadvertently destroyed the incarnation of a god, but mistaken it for a mutated and powerful goblin-like creature.
It’s like losing “God” all over the place.
Therefore, Magnubiya rarely chooses to incarnate in the material world.
Otherwise, with the current defense power and remaining personnel of the mage tower, his incarnation can be killed more than a dozen times every minute.
It can even be said that among the many incarnations of gods that have come, none are weaker than the goblin gods.
Just when the strange object was about to say something through the spiritual connection, a wind magic bat suddenly swooped down from the passage leading to the upper level and said in a very fast tone: "No! It's not good! The dark elf is gone.
!"
"What? Missing? How is that possible! She is wearing a reinforced slave collar!"
Wilmes raised his head suddenly, exuding a chilling aura.
"That drow not only used a wire saw he got from nowhere to secretly grind off the slave collar around his neck. He also pretended to be delivering food to deceive the mage tower surveillance and rushed directly into the road leading to Ascart.
In the sewer."
Wind Demon Bat hurriedly told everything he knew.
It doesn't want to be sprayed to death by the flaming breath of the terrifying red dragon in front of it.
"That guy must have gotten rid of the control of the slave collar by relying on willpower and the magic resistance of his skin, and then pretended to be still under control and looked for opportunities to escape."
Qi Wu quickly analyzed the entire incident.
Because whether it was the wire saw that could cut through the slave collar, the meal delivery time, or the escape route, it was obvious that everything had been planned in detail and carefully.
Coupled with the complicated sewers of Askatra and full of monsters, it is basically impossible to chase now.
"What do we do now?"
Wilmes asked in an uncertain tone.
She likes to be clean, but doesn't want to go into the smelly tunnel.
Qiwu thought for a moment and quickly responded: "First send a notice to the Shadow Thieves and ask them to help keep an eye on it. Let's wait for the master to come back and talk about the rest. Anyway, he is just an insignificant prisoner, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
Secret."
However, what the red dragon and the strange object didn't know was that the escaped dark elves panicked and fled directly from the underground of the mage tower to the area near the cemetery.
As a result, he happened to be caught by two recently transformed vampires, and as expected, he was delivered to their queen.
"A drow from the Underdark? Interesting!"
The corners of Badi's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Since occupying the underground area of the cemetery as a secret base, she has been quietly replenishing the number of vampires under her command.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although the more than forty people who had been transformed before had all died under Zuo Si's sword, now they are slowly being replenished.
"Let me go! I order you to let me go!"
The female dark elf shouted loudly in the language unique to her race.
If it were other surface races, it would really not be easy to understand these words.
But Badi himself was an elf, and he was also a very knowledgeable mage before becoming a vampire. Not only did he understand what the other party was saying, but he also asked in the same language: "Tell me your name, from the underground world."
Evil distant relative."
"What! You...can you understand Dark Elf?"
A look of shock and surprise appeared on the female drow's face.
You must know that this is the first time she has met someone who understands what she is saying after being on the surface for so long.
"Of course! Your language is not that difficult to learn. What's more, ten thousand years ago, we used the same language."
Badi started to circle around the opponent with elegant steps, and his two glowing red eyes never left the aorta on his neck.
Unlike the calm and rational Irenekas, she quickly became obsessed with the pleasure of bloodthirsty and indulgence after becoming a vampire.
Now Badi has long forgotten that he is a spell caster. When fighting, he prefers to use his extremely strong body and spell-like abilities to crush the enemy, and then bites on the neck to suck all the blood from the target's body.<
/p>
The dark elf, who grew up in a very dangerous environment, was undoubtedly aware of the hunger and thirst released by the vampire queen unintentionally. The nerves and muscles in his body immediately tensed up, and he carefully tried to test: "What are you going to do before you let me go?"
”
"Let you go? Hahahaha! Sorry, that's impossible. I've long wanted to taste the blood of dark elves. How is the taste different from that of surface elves? But don't worry, I won't kill you. Just the opposite.
I will transform you into my servant."
After saying that, Badi suddenly stretched out his right hand at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye and directly grabbed the opponent's neck.
Suppressed by the powerful power of the Vampire Queen, this poor dark elf had no room for resistance.
He was easily pressed against the wall and watched helplessly as the two fangs penetrated deeply into the aorta in his neck.
Not long after, she completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
After Badi drank the blood, he quickly showed an extremely satisfied smile, pointed at the dry corpse on the ground and said: "Go, throw this guy into the blood pool, let her draw strength and be reborn with a new attitude." "As you wish, Queen."
A new-born vampire hurriedly bent down and bowed, then dragged the body of the dark elf towards the base deep in the tomb.
After he was completely gone, another servant asked in a low voice: "Master, why do you want to keep this drow? Her race and skin color are too conspicuous in the surface world, and she is not suitable to be one of us.
."
"Didn't you notice where she escaped from?" Badi asked meaningfully.
The vampire servant lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then immediately exclaimed: "It's the mage tower! She escaped from the mage tower!"
"That's right! I think this dark elf must know a lot of secrets about the mage tower and its owner. Even if he doesn't know it, it doesn't matter. It can also be used as a bargaining chip in the transaction. Irenikas is interested in the tower of the goddess of poison and disease.
Lorna voters are very interested."
Badi stuck out his tongue and licked the remaining blood on his lips, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness deep in the tomb.
……
On the other side, far away in the huge maze underground in Waterdeep City.
Zuo Si took advantage of the fact that the other three members of the adventure team were asleep, and secretly took the Dragonborn Knight to find the green dragon's lair on the fifth floor.
Looking at the deep pool formed by the impact of the waterfall in front of him, he immediately said without looking back: "It should be here."
"Here? You mean... the green dragon's lair is underwater!" Davian opened his mouth in surprise.
"It's quite unexpected, isn't it? According to the investigation of the Shadow Legion, there is a very large cave hidden down here. The green dragon usually lives in the cave and only emerges from the water when it goes out to look for food.
Let's go, we don't have much time. If we get rid of this dragon as soon as possible, we can finish our work and go back early."
Zuo Si jumped directly into the pool and began to dive.
Davian took a deep breath and jumped down immediately.
The two dived into the deep pool for more than fifty meters, and finally saw the entrance directly below the waterfall.
After swimming for a distance along the dark waters where they couldn't see their fingers, they finally surfaced and entered a huge underground cave.
Through the [Dark Vision] blessed in advance, Zuo Si saw the huge figure lying in the open space dozens of meters away.
Although in size, the green dragon is not as big as the red dragon, strong and full of power and beauty.
But their bodies show a slender streamlined shape, with a single horn standing up above their noses, which looks extremely sharp.
Since he was sleeping, the green dragon seemed to be unprepared, so it was a good time for a sneak attack.
But Zuo Si knew that the green dragon could almost be said to be the most insidious and cunning among the five-color evil dragons, so he very carefully used the [True Seeing Technique] to observe his surroundings.
You won’t know the result until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.
There are as many as six pits around the open space where the green dragon rests.
In addition, there are two magic alarms that will be triggered whenever you get close, and a large number of vines that can be turned into ropes to entangle enemies with a little manipulation.
Obviously, even in the hidden cave under the waterfall, the green dragon in front of him has not forgotten to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
But unfortunately, all these arrangements are of no use to Zuo Si now.
From the body length of nearly fourteen meters, it can be roughly judged that the green dragon in front of him should be in his prime, one of the more unlucky ones to be captured by the "mad mage" Halaster Blackrobe and forcibly imprisoned in the Lost City of Earth.
In other words, none of the dragons in Earthline Maze, good or evil, are willing at all.
No hesitation!
After confirming that there was no second threat in the cave besides the green dragon, Zuo Si took out four "Powerful Spells - Fireball" cards and aimed them at the opponent's wings to activate them instantly.
The next second...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dazzling white firelight instantly illuminated the dark cave as if it were daylight.
The violent explosion and heat wave enveloped the green dragon in an instant.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!"
The terrifying damage caused by the high-temperature flames directly awakened the green dragon from its sleep, and screamed in agony.
Then like crazy, he tried to rush into the water to cool down his burnt body and scales.
It's a pity that I ran into [Power Wall Technique] just halfway through the rush.
Bang!
Click!
Without any buffer, the green dragon's head directly collided violently with the invisible wall of force. The slender neck instantly folded at 90 degrees, and then fell straight to the ground and twitched non-stop.
You don't need to ask to know that this time it was probably because you rushed too hard and broke your neck.
The shadows that had been ambushing the surroundings immediately swarmed up and quickly drained the green dragon's power through touch, causing it to black out and faint, completely turning into a lamb without the ability to resist.
Without saying a word, Zuo Si extracted mana and made it into a LV6 creature card, and then said with a smile: "It's much easier than I thought.
It seems that it is not difficult for me to defeat and capture ordinary adult or even mature dragons.
No wonder some people always say that in this multi-distant universe filled with endless planes and crystal walls, only the truly strong can be unrestrained.
It is rumored that some legendary strong men who are even afraid of the lords of the abyss can even regard the territory of the Succubus Queen Mecantheat on the 570th floor of the Abyss as an ordinary brothel.
Go and solve the physical problem, and then pick up your pants and leave immediately after solving it."
"Treat the Succubus Queen's territory as a brothel?" Davian opened his mouth in disbelief.
"That's right! This is the privilege of the strong. One day, we can reach that level. Don't worry, when that day comes, I will definitely choose to take you with me." Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone. The dragonborn knight nodded in confusion: "Thank you very much. I really want to see what this place that is known as able to satisfy all desires is really like."
"Not only you, I am also quite curious. Whether it is hell, abyss, heaven mountain, mechanical realm, paradise, wasteland of destruction and despair, etheric plane, star realm, or the world that claims to connect the entire multiverse.
Sooner or later we have to go to Sigil City, the city of ten thousand gates." Zuo Si said ambitiously.
He is quite interested in these outer planes with all kinds of interesting rules.
But it's too early to talk about this now.
After all, the outer plane is much more dangerous than the material plane.
"By the way, Master. Where is the black dragon that you put back to carry the treasure before? He seems to have never flown back." Davian suddenly remembered this matter and asked casually.
"Don't worry, he has stored the treasure in the secret base of the Emerald Society. He is currently lurking near the swamp, exploring the lairs of other black dragons around him. Find a time later, and we will rob all the black dragons living nearby.
”
While talking, Zuo Si found the treasure hidden by the green dragon in the most inconspicuous corner of the dragon's nest.
To be precise, it's just a bunch of variegated gems that don't look very valuable, and a few magic items.
After a simple identification, it was found that there is a 3-level scimitar - [Forest Blade], which can release [Entangle] when hitting an enemy, making the whole body entangled with strong grass and vines and unable to move.
A pair of Druid-specific wristbands can not only increase two points of perception attribute, but also release [Charm Animal] three times a day and [Level 3 Natural Ally Summoning] once a day.
