Chapter 372: Shimmering Oil and Dragon-shaped Engine
Walking on the streets of the Ascatla administrative area, Uthea was observing the city ruled by merchants from a new perspective, as well as the adventurers and mercenaries who were driven by bounties and money.<
/p>
There is no doubt that being directly promoted from a little devil to a hell fiend is definitely a huge surprise that cannot be described in words.
Because when he cut off the connection with hell and made it into a card, he thought that his strength and external form would always stay at the level of a little devil. He could only become more powerful by gaining professional levels through continuous learning and training.
.
In fact, he was already mentally prepared for this and began to tap into the magical power in the devil's bloodline, becoming a low-level warlock.
But what Uthea never expected was that his unfathomable master actually gained some kind of ability similar to a devil duke or even a level lord after returning from a trip, and could promote and demote any devil.
.
Although he doesn't know exactly where this ability comes from, he is certain that the bard named Kels must have an inseparable connection with the forces of hell.
It is very likely that his master has reached some unknown deal with the other party.
As for the content of the transaction, Zuo Si didn't dare to ask without telling Usiah.
But overnight, he transformed from a small figure who could only hide behind the scenes and play tricks to a big devil who could easily subvert a city or even a country. He was undoubtedly excited in his heart.
If he didn't get permission, this guy would even randomly select a few "lucky ones" from the adventurers and mercenaries in taverns and hotels, and guide them into the sewers or forests outside the city to test who is the strongest in hell.
The power of the great devil.
But now...
Uthia thought it would be better to honestly complete the tasks assigned to him by his master first.
In this way, he went straight to the door of the administrative district government office building with a massive amount of food that could destroy the entire agricultural production of Sambia.
After identifying himself and showing his signet ring to the guard at the door, he was immediately taken to the exclusive room of the six-member council at the top of the building.
However, the moment they crossed the threshold, two of the six people who were originally sitting on the chairs and held the highest power in the country of Amn suddenly stood up as if they were stimulated, and activated a lot of protective spells without saying a word. Obviously, they all wear magic equipment that has a constant effect similar to [True Seeing].
Therefore, you can see through the hell fiend with a terrifying aura hidden behind the transformation magic at a glance.
The unusual behavior of the two six-member council members instantly made the other four people subconsciously aware of the danger, and quickly stood up and prepared for battle.
Especially the representative of the Shadow Thieves Guild. He rolled directly under the table and entered a stealth state and disappeared without a trace.
There is also a guy dressed as a mage, reaching out to activate the magic alarm hidden on the table, calling for the masked mage and guards to come for help.
But before he could take any actual action, Usiah took the lead in putting one hand on his chest and bowing in a very elegant movement. He said with a smile: "Everyone, please don't be so nervous. I don't have anything."
Malice, just following the master's order to send you a piece of information and something."
"Master? You mean... you are a servant of Soth?"
A member of the six-person council dressed as a mage asked in an extremely surprised tone.
Because in his impression, the Hell Fiend is not an easy character to deal with. Only the most powerful and top spellcasters can successfully summon and control this terrifying Hell Demon.
"That's right! If I had other intentions, I wouldn't have entered this building this way."
After saying that, Uthea ignored the vigilant and fearful eyes of these people, gently placed the box in his hand, as well as the investigation report and list in his arms on the table, and then slowly retreated to the room.
Doorway.
He could feel that the humans in front of him were very afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, so they very "considerately" set aside a distance that was enough to make them feel a little safer.
But what he couldn't understand was that as his master, Zuo Si was obviously many times more powerful, dangerous, and evil than him, but why did the six-member Council of Amn never show such nervousness?
You can even discuss with the owner how to deal with potential enemies like Sambia and how to divide the huge benefits that can be obtained after winning the trade war.
You must know that if you were a devil, you might feel happy and satisfied when you see mortals being so scared, but for devils who like to work "within the system", it is not something worth boasting about.
After all, the more afraid you are, the more alert you are and the harder it is to be deceived and exploited.
In Uthea's view, Zuo Si's ability to do this just shows that he is better at disguise than himself and even most of the devils in hell. He can always take advantage of certain weaknesses in human nature to make the other party lower their vigilance unknowingly.
In order to achieve some ulterior purpose.
As the highest authority in Amn, the Six-person Council is undoubtedly very cautious.
They first used detection magic to repeatedly check the investigation report and the list. After confirming that there were no problems, they carefully picked it up and checked the contents recorded above.
You won’t know the result until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.
When they learned that there were already so many mind flayers lurking in Ascaltra, and had secretly infiltrated into the political world, business world, and Shadow Thieves Guild, and controlled more than a dozen adventure teams and mercenary groups, everyone couldn't help but fall.
Take a breath.
Especially the six-person council member whose family had been eroded, he immediately knocked on the table and roared angrily: "Asshole! How dare these damn octopus heads attack my son and daughter! I demand that immediately
Take action and launch a major purge of the entire Askatra, and be sure to root it out."
"Don't be so excited and calm down. Look at this list. They already control too many resources and power. If they use hard measures, they may cause unnecessary panic and turmoil, which is not good for our booming trade.
"Another member of the six-person council quickly dissuaded him.
"Calm down? These dirty monsters have put their hands into my family! How can I calm down?"
"Then we can't launch a brutal cleansing of the entire city, which will cause countless businessmen, nobles and civilians to flee out of fear."
"I also agree with this point of view! In any case, we cannot break the current good development form of Ascatra, but must protect this business atmosphere."
"How about letting the shadow thieves take action? If the action of clearing out the lurkers is disguised as a war between guilds, the panic caused will be much smaller."
"Please! Who do you think our Shadow Thieves Guild is? Most thieves and assassins can't handle monsters like the Mind Flayer that can control minds and read memories at will. I think we should leave it to the Masked Mage Guild." "Leave it to the Masked Mage? Don't be kidding! With their current manpower, it's already quite difficult to barely suppress the Emerald Society and those bold adventurers."
……
Suddenly, the members of the six-person council fell into a quarrel due to internal differences of opinion.
As we all know, Amn's wealth and prosperity are based on massive trade.
Especially after Zuo Si arrived, he first started a series of very profitable trades in the Nelanser Islands such as sugar, salt, fishing, pearl cultivation, rum, condiment manufacturing and spice cultivation, and then funded the opening of
A safe route to the Maztec New World, and finally brought a large number of cheap industrial products from the earth for planned monopoly and sales. Ascatla has become one of the most important commodity distribution centers on Faerûn.
One.
Compared with the past, its prosperity has simply improved by countless levels.
Just look at the berths at the pier that have been renovated and expanded three times, as well as the densely packed merchant ships anchored near the harbor, and you will know how lively the gold coin capital is today.
Just the fees for berthing and disembarkation of ships is a quite objective figure every day, not to mention the rising operating and commercial taxes.
The permanent population has also surged from just over 100,000 to more than 400,000 now, which seems to be on par with Calimport.
Among them, merchants, nobles and their escorts, entourages and sailors from all over the world account for almost one-third.
The rest are bankrupt farmers, beggars, craftsmen, vendors, adventurers, mercenaries, etc. who pour in from the countryside and other places to find opportunities to change their destiny.
For a long time, the city council has been troubled by the sudden increase in population, the deterioration of public security caused by the increase in population, and the rising prices of land and housing in the city.
As a last resort, we could only use a large amount of tax money to buy land that was originally worth little money from civilians and poor people, and began to re-plan the no-care zones in the Bridge District, slums and dock shantytowns.
Using cheap cement and bricks purchased from Zuo Si, a large number of four- to five-story buildings were built to house ordinary families who were not very wealthy but could provide labor and create wealth.
Because the prices for both purchase and rental are very low, it is very popular among the lower class people.
Of course, don’t even think about things like this kind of house that cost a lot of money such as tap water systems.
Generally, a large public water tank is built in an open space downstairs, with one side connected to the river running through the city and the other side connected to the sewer, with some stones and plant fibers placed in the middle to filter impurities.
Although it will be slightly crowded during the morning and evening peak hours, for the poor who could not even get clean drinking water before and had to live in leaky stilts, this is already considered a rare event since the founding of the Amn Empire.
There’s not much “good governance” left.
Even the Ilmat Church, the God of Suffering, which has never been very interested in the government, secretly praised the greedy six-person Council for finally doing something "human".
It is precisely because the current situation of Ascatra is so good, and the wealth of major families and chambers of commerce is also increasing at an unimaginable rate, so from the perspective of the ruling class, it is best not to make any big moves. p>
Otherwise, once this prosperous development is interrupted or causes any negative effects, the losses will be huge.
It has to be said that the short-sightedness of the business class and capital is vividly reflected in these supreme rulers of Amn.
Just like when they sold the battleship dockyard, which was losing money instead of making money, to Zuo Sixu, all the workers were sold en masse.
Looking at the group of humans in front of him who were arguing fiercely about how to clear out the lurkers without suffering huge losses, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed in Uthea's eyes as a devil.
Because he knows very well that Amn's current prosperity is based on the escort of the Nelanthal Islands Fleet.
If one day, Zuo Si orders no longer to provide protection for Amn merchant ships, or simply intercepts Amn merchant ships indiscriminately himself.
Then the country will fall into a huge economic crisis in an instant. In severe cases, the entire ruling system will collapse rapidly in a short period of time.
In fact, as the dual dependence on Zuo Si became deeper and deeper in both military and economic terms, the six-person council did not realize that it had been quietly controlled.
Especially with the rise of families such as Bernard and his father-in-law, the entire Amn is rapidly forming a situation where old and new forces coexist.
Among them, the old forces are naturally the old family, headed by the Six-person Review Committee, which has held the highest power for a long time.
They firmly occupy the country's richest land, as well as the most profitable business routes and industries, and have accumulated astonishing wealth and power over hundreds of years.
The new forces, like Bernard, have succeeded in joining the team. They have gained a lot of opportunities and benefits from Zuo Si's rise. In a short period of time, they have snowballed and made no less than the former's huge wealth. They are eyeing the six-person council.
A possible vacant position.
Although the economic situation is very good, everyone can eat their own share of the cake, so the conflicts between them are not acute.
But if this situation ends one day, then the old and new forces will inevitably start a life-and-death contest on this land.
At that time, Zuo Si only needs to provide a little help, and the new faction can easily win and take the entire country into its pocket.
The more he thought about it, the more Usiah felt that compared to his master's seemingly casual, but actually thorough, obscure and difficult-to-discover conspiracy, he was still too immature and superficial. He needed to study more to keep up with his master's thinking, and even more so.
Good service to the master.
Finally, after twenty minutes of arguing, the six-member council finally made a decision.
That is, the Masked Mage Guild and the Shadow Thieves each send some people to secretly form a few elite teams, and then hire a few elite adventurers to clean out these damn octopus heads in a way that does not alert other people as much as possible. p>
As for the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart, they were eliminated from the beginning.
They are not suitable for engaging in such secretive activities at all, and they do not understand what it means to be suitable. They also like to be more serious about everything, and if they do not do well, they will definitely make a fuss.
After the representative of the Shadow Thieves Guild left with the order he had just signed, the remaining five people turned their attention to the suitcase placed on the table.
About three to five seconds later, Selzer Salem Quant, who had the highest status in the Council and held the most power, asked: "What is in this box?"
"It's food, food that is enough to destroy the enthusiasm for agricultural production in Sambia." Usua replied with a smile.
"You mean...this is a huge space magic equipment?"
Another member's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although space magic equipment such as dimensional bags are not scarce in Faerun and are sold in many towns with wizard towers or red-robed wizard concessions, generally speaking, the space and total amount inside are not too large. At least the Masked Mage Guild cannot yet produce magic items that can hold tens of millions of tons of food in one go like a large warehouse complex.
To be precise, this is no longer a magic item, but more like a small permanent portal connected to the demiplane.
Especially for Amn merchants who are keen on trading, such a box is absolutely as good as any known artifact.
Uthea smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he stepped forward and opened the box in front of everyone.
Instantly!
The five six-member council members present were all shocked and their mouths opened.
In a huge sealed space, there were densely packed bags of processed and packaged snow-white flour, shelled rice, ground oats and barley, as well as full-grained soybeans, chickpeas, broad beans, and
Some golden-yellow dried coarse particles that have been ground and cannot be identified as to what kind of crops they are.
Regardless of the variety or quantity, they have reached a level that is simply unimaginable in the primitive and backward agriculture of Faerûn.
Gudong!
Selzer swallowed subconsciously and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "How much food is there?"
Uthiah answered without thinking: "Together, the total is 40 million tons.
According to the owner's calculations, including serfs, the entire territory of Sambia has a population of approximately 2.5 million to 3 million.
Annual grain consumption will not exceed 1.8 million tons at most.
But here there is enough for them to consume for more than 20 years.
As long as they sell at low prices regardless of cost and keep the country's food prices at a time when the output is far lower than the input, those manor owners will start to stop growing food and switch to growing other vegetables, fruits or simply raising poultry and livestock.
.
By that time, if we suddenly stop supplying cheap food, or even start to purchase food at high prices and raise the price of food, the entire Sambia will fall into unprecedented chaos.
Their economic structure and social order will be completely destroyed, and countless serfs and civilians who cannot survive will rise up. Conspirators and careerists will use this power to seize the opportunity to occupy towns and villages.
When warlords everywhere fall into civil war, both businessmen and manor owners will sell off their properties at extremely low prices.
Merchants in Amn can earn profits by selling high-priced grains while acquiring valuable and potential industries.
After plundering all the wealth accumulated over the years in Sambia in a legal way, then support an obedient warlord to defeat other competitors to complete the unification.
When the war ends, Sambia will be completely controlled by Amn merchants from land to industry and commerce, becoming a seemingly independent country, but in fact it has become an economic colony.
If you divide your interests a little bit, just like the meat bones that an owner feeds to a dog, and support a group of local vested interest groups, Amn will be able to firmly control Sambia and use it as a stronghold to dominate the world.
The expanding power along the Xinghai coast."
There is no doubt that the grand blueprint drawn by Uthiah, as well as the fact that Faerûn has never staged a large-scale trade war directly targeting a country, deeply shocked the six-member council present.
Since they have been engaged in trading activities for a long time, these people are very aware of the possible impact of price fluctuations on production.
Especially with such a one-time investment of 40 million tons of grain, not to mention Sambia, a country with a population of only 2.5 to 3 million, is the Kingdom of Cormyr with a population of 13 to 4 million next door.
will inevitably be affected.
What is a big deal?
What does it mean to hurt others with your own merits?
How to play a cruel capital game without bloodshed?
Zuo Si taught these supreme rulers of Amn a lesson with practical actions.
At present, no member of the six-member council, including Selzer Salem, doubts that this trade war against archrival Sambia will fail.
Because the "ammunition" they have in their hands is too sufficient, enough to overthrow most countries on Faerûn.
Of course, there are exceptions to countries like Sayre, which are ruled by red-robed wizards as dictators.
After a long silence, Selzer finally recovered from the indescribable shock, slowly closed the suitcase placed on the table, and said in a rather emotional voice: "Your Excellency Soth is really
He kept his promise and gave us an unparalleled and huge surprise so quickly. Please rest assured that we will make good use of the food and ensure that he will not suffer a loss. Finally, please be sure to convey the gratitude of the six-member council." p>
"You are so polite. The master has always cherished the close cooperation with you all, and hopes that this good relationship can be maintained forever." Usiah said politely with a smile.
"This is our honor. In fact, Lord Soth has already been an indispensable member of Askatra and Amn. Perhaps at an appropriate time in the future, we will add a seat to allow six people to review
It will become seven people, allowing him to participate in the country's decision-making."
Selzer Salem made a big promise straightforwardly.
Because the vast amount of food in the box and the hell fiend in front of him who presented himself as a servant made him realize that it was time to give Zuo Si more power and status.
After all, it is no longer Zuo Si who needs Amn, but Amn who cannot live without him.
Although the meeting between Uthiah and the six-member council was not very pleasant at the beginning, in the end it turned out to be a scene where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The latter doesn't care at all that the former is a terrible devil, and even shakes hands and hugs him, which is really full of irony.
Facts have once again proved that profit-seeking businessmen don’t care about good or evil, let alone who they cooperate with, as long as the other party can bring them enough benefits.
……
At the same time, Zuo Si in the mage tower is currently having a conversation with the legendary elf magic archer to determine the future relationship between the two parties.
Having just finished reading the information on Eternal Meeting Island provided by Kelben, as well as the two portraits of the missing elf magic shooter, Lantis sighed helplessly and said: "Sorry, I think these two people are no big deal to me.
relationship."
"Oh? Why do you say that? I think the second one looks quite similar to you." Zuo Si asked curiously.
Obviously, in his eyes, most golden elf men have similar facial features and looks, at least there is no obvious difference just from the comparison of the portraits.
Lantis quickly shook his head and corrected: "No, no, no, it's completely different.
Please note that the magic shooter has lines extending backward from the corners of his eyes, but I don’t have any at all.
And his fingers are a little longer than mine, so the bow-drawing action must be different.
It seems that I am not a native of this world, but come from other planes."
"Okay. So what are your plans for the future?"
Zuo Si obviously did not intend to dwell too much on this issue, but took the initiative to change the topic.
"Plan? Well... to be honest, I don't know either. Because I have no memory of what happened in the past. I don't even know when I was captured and controlled by the Mind Flayer. Now I can only take one step at a time.
”
When saying these words, Lantis's eyes showed helplessness and confusion.
Although he lived in the mage tower, he would occasionally go out on adventures with the half-orc Rhett, the pyromancer Alena, and the dwarf berserker Korgan. From time to time, he would also teach the little werewolves who wanted to become rangers how to shoot crossbows.
On the surface, things seem to be going well, but on the inside, I am always lonely.
Because this legendary elf magic shooter lacks a clear goal in life and just lives for the sake of living.
Zuo Si was keenly aware of this and immediately proposed with great interest: "Would you like to be my follower? Like Davian, who is immortal, you can travel with me to different time and space to explore things that have never been seen before.
Are you going to fight against all kinds of powerful enemies in this plane?"
"Follower?"
Lantis raised his head and his eyes shone slightly.
He has always seen Davian's earth-shaking changes in recent times, and he cannot understand at all how this loyal and brave warrior managed to undergo such earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time.
Especially the surging power of the fire element in the dragon form, the Elf Demon Archer once thought that this was a lord from the fire element plane.
"Yes, follower.
I possess a very special ability that can transform any living thing into another state that is incomprehensible to normal people.
In this state, even if you are killed, you will only disappear for a while, and you will be reborn soon.
And I can also make my followers stronger by paying some prices.
Since you feel overwhelmed and confused about your life and future, how about letting me give it a goal?
At least the situation will certainly not be worse than maintaining the status quo."
Zuo Si meaningfully formally extended the invitation.
Because in his opinion, it would be too wasteful to let a legendary elf magic archer sink like this.
No one knows how old Lantis is this year and how long he can live.
If one day he dies suddenly due to exhaustion of life span, it will be a huge loss.
"Give your life and future a goal..."
Lantis seemed to have been stimulated by something. He lowered his head and stared at his hands that were calloused from drawing the bow for a long time, and his eyes became very hollow.
Maybe it's because he has been controlled and brainwashed by the Mind Flayer for a long time, or maybe he has too many memories missing. In short, his mental state looks very strange.
After several minutes, Lantis' pupils finally regained focus and responded in an indifferent tone: "Okay, I agree. Instead of living in such a hazy state like now, it's better to find some stimulation for myself. Anyway,
According to what you said, I won’t really die.”
"Awesome! Trust me, you won't regret the choice you made today. Now, close your eyes and let go of your heart without any resistance."
With that said, Zuo Si raised his hand and activated the power of sparks to envelope the other party.
The next second...
The dazzling light ball sealed the legendary elf magic shooter and turned it into a biological card.
Immediately afterwards, he selected some precious materials from his treasure house, transformed the original ordinary creature cards into followers, and directly upgraded their card levels to the highest level.
[Effect: Summon Storm Demon Archer-Lantis (initial level is LV23, level and strength will continue to increase with fighting and killing, the maximum limit is LV50) to serve you until he is killed.
In human form, he is equipped with 5 High Elf Chainmail, Dragon Boots, Super Agility Belt, Marksman Bracers, 6 Wind Bow, and masters "Thunderstorm Archery" and "Speed Attack Melee Mixed Combat Skills" (weapons are limited to daggers)
and dagger)"
Among them, "Thunderstorm Archery" can not only shoot physical arrows with magical effects, but also shoot lightning beams formed by concentrated energy.
The lightning beam is divided into two forms.
An effect equivalent to the three-ring magic lightning spell, which can cause huge damage to enemies within a straight range;
The other is equivalent to a six-ring magic chain lightning, which can cause mass destruction to the target and all surrounding creatures.
The power of this energy arrow is not fixed, but will continue to increase as the level increases.
In addition, you can also use the power of the wind element at will to give yourself the ability to fly at will and the effect of accelerating movement, and even form a wind wall to blow away the arrows fired by the enemy.
When Lantis is besieged, he can transform himself into a huge wind elemental prince, triggering a terrifying thunder and lightning storm with a radius of one kilometer, and carry out indiscriminate attacks on all targets within the range regardless of whether it is the enemy or ourselves.
Can summon six wind element elders or more low-level wind elements to help you fight.
Similarly, this transformation ability and the ability to summon the wind element will also become stronger as the level increases.
Initially (LV23), he is the prince of the wind element. Each time he reaches three levels, his size and strength will increase significantly. When he reaches LV29, he will be promoted to the lord of the wind element, and when he reaches LV35, he will become the prince of the wind element]
[To use this card, you need to pay 150 blue magic points, or 150 general magic points]
[When the follower - Storm Demon Archer Lantis dies in battle, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth, and the level will return to its original state for one hundred days]
Looking at the dense series of detailed information on the card, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Not bad! As expected, the power of the wind genasi is more suitable for long-range attack professions such as magic archers.
With the blessing of the power of the wind element, any enemy who wants to get close to Lantis will pay a heavy price.
The most important thing is that I finally mastered all the knowledge about the magic shooter..."
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si found all the previous shooter creature cards like Huntington and upgraded them in large quantities. He didn't stop until all the energy in the mana pool was exhausted.
There is no doubt that compared with ordinary long-range shooters, magic shooters clearly have overwhelming advantages in many aspects.
Whether it is enchanted arrows, magic-imbued arrows, tracking arrows, arrow rain, or the ultimate ability death arrow, they can all pose a threat to powerful enemies.
Unfortunately, the mana required to upgrade a magic shooter is a bit high, and the current number of cards is quite large, so it will probably take a while to upgrade them all.
Putting away all the cards in his hand, Zuo Si immediately called out "Legacy".
Since I didn’t pay too much attention to the so-called "tasks" for a long time, and the number of card draws I accumulated unintentionally, I now have more than fifty card draw opportunities.
In order to see where the previous planeswalker had been and what kind of interesting wealth he had accumulated, he chose to draw without hesitation.
After countless cards finished rotating around the page, a pile of cards appeared out of thin air in the palm of the hand.
Unlike the previous ones, which were mostly spell cards or creature cards, the types of cards drawn this time have obviously become more diverse.
Different land cards alone account for almost a quarter.
Among them are Ravnica, Dominaria, Mirrodin, Kamigawa, Lorwyn and other planes and spaces that are often visited by planeswalkers.
Of course, if it was just that, Zuo Si wouldn't be too surprised.
What really made him feel numb was that among the newly drawn cards, there were quite a few [Dragon Engine] and [Shining Oil].
You must know that this thing is a specialty of the Phyrexia space and time. Although its founder and supreme leader Yawgmoth is not a planeswalker, he can be as threatening as the old dragon Nicol Bolas. p>
Although in the thousands of years of war, the legendary planeswalker Urza had killed the Phyrexian god with the last blow before his death, and the entire time and space subsequently fell apart.
But those terrifying war machines, especially the famous [Shining Oil] which is said to be able to corrode, pollute everything and unify all worlds, can still have a devastating impact on any world.
And in addition to being able to turn an entire world's organisms into half-human, half-mechanical creatures through slow erosion, [Shining Oil]'s other biggest feature is that it can limit the transmission power of planeswalkers' sparks.
In the beginning, Yawgmoth relied on this skill to force many planeswalkers to surrender and serve him.
But what’s interesting is that the former planeswalker obviously also knew the dangers of [Shining Oil], so he specifically marked it with text on the card.
"Shining oil seems to be alive, with consciousness and life. It is dangerous and fascinating. Although I don't know why I want to collect it, it may come in handy at some critical moments. By the way, this
This thing works great when used with the [Dragon Engine]."
Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately felt his heart twitching violently. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and curse in a low voice: "Gan! I hope this guy has never used it on earth. If so, the consequences will be unimaginable."
However, since there is no way to go back, worrying now is in vain.
And based on the degree of mechanization of the earth when he ignited the spark, if the [Shining Oil] really leaked, all human beings in the true sense would be extinct within a few years, and would be replaced by a group of brand new species composed of living things and machines.<
/p>
Of course, this new species may still retain its original name of human, but both its body and mind have already undergone earth-shaking changes.
After carefully collecting the two [Shining Oil] cards, Zuo Si turned his attention to the other three [Dragon Engine].
Just like the name, this thing is a war weapon made by Phyrexia, and its appearance is like a super giant dragon-like creature made entirely of metal.
Its size is so huge that in front of the [Dragon Engine], several of Faerûn's ancient dragons together look like insignificant little brothers.
What's even more terrifying is that this super giant mechanical creature has the ability to repair itself. As long as it is not completely destroyed at once, it can be resurrected with full health soon after providing the corresponding raw materials.
It is said that the destructive power of a [Dragon Engine] is enough to easily destroy a country.
Unless it is a super weapon like a nuclear bomb, ordinary combustion, explosion and impact will hardly cause effective damage to it. At best, it will only slightly deform the body structure, and it will return to its original shape in just a few seconds.
As for the last planeswalker mentioned that the effect is better when used together with [Shining Oil], it is actually because Shimmering Oil has the ability to repair and upgrade all mechanical structures.
The reason why Phyrexia is so powerful that it can threaten countless time and space in the entire multiverse is that as long as their mechanical army is supported by Shimmer Oil, it is almost invincible.
In order to confirm the specific sizes of the three [Dragon Engines] in his hand, Zuo Si returned to the world where the Floating City was located and found an unknown place to activate one of the cards.
The next second...
A giant metal dragon with a body length of more than three thousand meters and as huge as a small mountain appeared out of thin air.
This unparalleled and shocking figure alone made him take a breath.
Its complex internal structure and the huge energy source located in the center of the body that can continuously provide power reveal a mechanical beauty that cannot be described in words.
The most important thing is that [Dragon Engine]'s powerful combat effectiveness comes not only from its size, strength and melee combat capabilities, but also from the breath of energy spewed from its mouth.
Yes!
This thing has long-range attack methods, and its power is quite terrifying.
"Damn! If only I could get some knowledge and technology to make [Dragon Engine]."
Zuo Si made no secret of his desire for Phyrexia technology.
He plans to find a time to bring over a group of high-level talents in the floating city to study the [Dragon Engine] in front of him to see if he can't get anything useful from it.
In addition, cards such as [Dragon Engine] are not classified as creatures, but belong to the category of treasures and artifacts.
Therefore, you do not need to pay too much mana when summoning, and you can switch between physical objects and cards anytime and anywhere.
Because unlike creations such as golems, which require a soul to be inserted into them during production, the [Dragon Engine] is a pure machine and requires human control.
Otherwise, it is no different from a car parked on the side of the road without its driver. It is just a simple tool.
