Chapter 83: The Gaze from the Lord of the Talismans
"Master! The young man named Soth has already started making secret weapons for us."
After Ebeni Arbor returned home, the first thing he did was to report to the "Lord of Symbols" to whom he was loyal.
After Lich Lagon heard this, he immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Well done!
As long as the things produced live up to my expectations, then I don't mind giving him a small gift.
Do you know?
With the help of the devices you sent yesterday, our hunting team has successfully killed three adult blue dragons, seriously injured and captured an old blue dragon alive.
After losing the amazingly powerful lightning breath, the threat level of these guys plummeted.
You don't even need other talisman masters to take action, just a lich assistant and a few vampires or mummy lords can easily take care of them.
Although these blue dragons are not comparable to the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicora (Anti-Harmony) Saglan, they gave us a good inspiration."
"Inspiration?"
Ebeni Abo blinked his eyes in confusion.
Although he is one of the few core members within the organization who knows the true identity of the master, he is not the "Lord of Symbols" after all, and cannot understand the way of thinking of these powerful undead spellcasters.
"Yes, inspiring."
There was a faint light in Lagun's eyes.
"I realize that there is something wrong with the strategy used to deal with the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivicora (Anti-Harmony) Saglan.
As an ancient blue dragon, her greatest strength is that she can combine her powerful physical strength with lightning breath and spellcasting abilities, and use them in complex and changeable battles.
Even people like the last emperor of the Xia En Dynasty, Xia En VII, would inevitably suffer in the end.
If it is just a spell confrontation, I will join forces with another talisman master and have enough confidence to suppress the "Sharp Teeth" of Ivycolan LS.
Now, if there is an item that can solve the threat posed by the lightning breath, which will not be easily neutralized by dispel magic or anti-magic field, then only pure bite, claw attack, dragon wing slap and tail sweep will be left.
Attack.
For most spellcasters, there is nothing easier to deal with than pure physical attacks.
This is also the reason why I like this young man.
The energy storage device he created can still absorb and store a large amount of lightning energy even under the influence of an anti-magic force field.
The most important thing is that we don't need to defeat or kill Ivicora (Anti-Harmony) Saglan "Sharp Tooth" like Shayne VII.
Just make sure that she cannot pose a fatal threat to the core members of the organization.
It doesn't matter whether Calimport will be destroyed in her rage, or whether thousands or tens of thousands of people will die.
Remember! The principle of [Entangled Talisman] is to be low-key and confidential, so that no one can know our existence.
In order to achieve this, anyone except the Lord of Talisman can be sacrificed and abandoned."
Obviously, for the immortal lich, such a "minor disaster" can be restored to its original state in more than ten or twenty years at the speed of human reconstruction and reproduction.
As long as [Entangled Talisman] can continue to hide in the dark and control the entire Calimshan, then everything will not be a problem.
"Got it!"
Ebeni Arbor bent down and bowed deeply to his master.
As one of the few true core members of the entire organization, he is very aware of how strict the confidentiality system of [Entangled Talisman] is.
Even ninety-nine percent of the controlled members do not know that they are actually serving a secret society composed of powerful immortal spellcasters.
Among them are those ancient families that claim to have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
There may not be more than seventy core members like Ebeni Arbor who know the truth in total.
In other words, only a very few close confidants surrounding the Lord of Talisman know the name of the organization [Tangled Talisman].
As for the remaining guys who don't even know who they are working for, they are just connected by a huge intelligence network covering the entire Calimshan.
Whether they are adventurers, ubiquitous merchants, vendors, or paladins who believe in goodness and order, they often do things for the [Spell of Entanglement] without knowing it.
It is precisely because of the most stringent and extreme confidentiality system in Faerûn that [Tangled Talisman] was able to develop rapidly in the hundreds of years after the accidental death of the first-generation leader "Reseland of Darkness".
As of today, it has essentially become the true ruler of the Calimshan region.
Guild wars, which seem extremely dangerous to outsiders, are actually just "little games" used by the "Lords of Talisman" to kill boring time.
……
After watching his men leave through the secret teleportation door, Lagon took out a mirror that looked like flowing mercury and touched it lightly with his dry finger bones.
Instantly!
The image of the tower workshop appears on the mirror.
The shaking figure in the middle of the mirror is none other than Zuo Si himself.
At this moment, he has completed the basic structure of a huge energy storage device with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of more than six meters.
The [Transformation] ability is being used to add various materials one by one to maximize the energy storage limit and give it additional magical abilities and attributes.
In just a few minutes, this slightly turbid translucent cylinder began to emit a dazzling arcane aura.
Especially when thousands of magic runes that Lagon had never seen before were engraved close to the center according to certain rules through the thick crystal wall, it made this lich who had lived for more than a thousand years find it unbelievable.
.
Because he has never heard of similar methods and techniques for making magic items.
In Faerûn, apart from weapons and armor, slightly more complex magic items are usually made in one go.
Unless later mutated due to the influence of some external factors, and the damage needs to be repaired, secondary processing and strengthening often means a very high failure rate, and most spellcasters will try to avoid it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But today, Zuo Si subverted the Lich's perception with practical actions.
[Creator] This special profession from another magical world, the use of magical energy is an eye-opener for Lagon.
What's even more incredible is that he realized that when Zuo Si used this power, he did not draw power from the magic network at all.
Instead, he is manipulating the most primitive, chaotic magical energy according to his own needs.
Normally, this ability can only be achieved by a very small number of advanced spellcasting professions, such as [Arch Mage], [Spell Firebringer], etc.
"Does he have some kind of special advanced profession that I don't know about?"
Lagun touched his mandible with his other hand, his dry skull face showing no expression at all.
Of course, as a lich whose skin and muscles have long since dried up and rotted, he cannot have any facial expressions.
But the two points of light in the eyes were flickering violently, showing the unrest deep in the owner's soul.
It's a pity that Zuo Si was focusing all his attention on building a giant energy storage device at the moment, and he didn't realize that he had received attention from the leader of the [Entangled Talisman] organization.
But even if you find out, there may not be much reaction.
After all, [Entangle Talisman] is too secretive.
His knowledge of this organization only stopped at an unexpected encounter in a certain game.
It’s not as familiar and understood as the Harper Alliance, the Zhentarim, the Shadow Thieves of Amn, the Red-robed Wizards, and the Masked Mage.
As for Lagon, the longer I observe, the more I feel that Zuo Si is a "talent" worth recruiting.
At least in terms of making and strengthening magic items, he definitely has talent and creativity that others cannot match.
If he is by his side to help, the Lich is confident of making an amazingly powerful artifact.
Of course, Zuo Si is still too immature at the moment and will need a long period of time to hone his skills.
But it doesn’t matter!
As a lich, what Lagon lacks most is patience and time.
He has spent decades and hundreds of years slowly and deeply observing those candidates, just to select and train a qualified "Lord of Talisman".
After confirming Zuo Si's potential, the Lich quickly closed the magic mirror and disappeared into darkness.
