Chapter 8 Negotiation!
"Huh? You can actually speak Common Language?" Wilmes showed a surprised expression.
Although she was imprisoned in the lowest level of the mage tower as soon as she passed through the portal, she also realized that this was not the Faerûn she was familiar with.
It is a completely different magical world.
Especially the fact that the existence of the magic net cannot be felt at all in the nearby environment is simply the best evidence.
And this red dragon once tried to intimidate and threaten the apprentices who took blood from him, but found that the other party could not understand Common Language at all.
Apprentices talk to each other using a completely different language system.
Of course, this is not something worth making a fuss about for Faerûn, which is connected to the multiverse.
After all, in the Forgotten Realm, intelligent creatures travel to other worlds almost every day for various reasons and accidents, either actively or passively.
Similarly, many creatures from other worlds will travel to Faerûn.
Some powerful spellcasters will even maintain close contact and contacts with other powerful spellcasters in the magical world.
But now, suddenly hearing the clearly articulated common language of Faerûn spoken from the mouth of a boy from another world, Wilmes began to feel that something was not right.
But Zuo Si obviously did not intend to waste his precious time on answering these irrelevant questions.
He gave a casual explanation, and then began to talk about the situation in the entire Mage Tower and even the floating city outside before and after the outbreak of the plague.
It’s just that Zuo Si secretly hid that he was the source of the plague.
When the red dragon heard that the necromancer who had attacked and imprisoned him was missing, and the apprentices who had taken the dragon's blood from him and offended his majesty were dead, he couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Good death! It's really an advantage for them!"
"Yes, it's really an advantage for them."
Zuo Si pretended to be convinced. and nodded.
Although the huge beast was currently restrained, he was still very careful to maintain a safe distance and did not dare to get too close.
Who knows if this red dragon will suddenly attack, opening its mouth and spitting out a deadly cone-shaped breath of flames.
You must know that the breath of an adult red dragon can easily melt most metals and even rocks, and even directly destroy magic items.
But Wilmeslu didn’t care about this.
With a proud and arrogant personality, she has long been accustomed to mortals showing fear and awe towards her.
What's more, there is still a "little one" who is not yet an adult.
However, she obviously ignored the two corpses near the entrance that were killed by "Little One".
Zuo Si may not be considered powerful and cannot be compared with a necromancer like Asta, but he is definitely not weak either.
At least in this tower, not many apprentices dare to look down upon the strange inventions, magical creations and potions he carries with him.
I saw this female red dragon staring at two eyes like lava balls, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and commanding in a playful and arrogant tone: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and untie it. The magic bond that has been placed on me! After regaining his freedom, the great Wilmes may consider sparing your life and mercifully allowing you to become my slave or servant."
With the last one. The word falls!
An overwhelming and astonishing momentum was released from the red dragon's body.
Zuo Si felt that the muscles all over his body were uncontrollably tense and stiff, as if a restraining spell had been cast on him, and even his breathing stopped.
Fortunately!
This state of being frightened did not last long, and he used his own willpower to break free, with a strong vigilance and fear flashing in his eyes.
Zuo Si was not sure whether the frightening aura just now was the legendary "Dragon Power (ferocious aura)" or some other innate magic and ability.
You must know that in the Forgotten Realms, all true dragons are natural spellcasters.
They are like warlocks. They can master many high-level spells that make mages envious and hateful without any learning at all. Especially an adult red dragon is equivalent to a LV7 warlock when casting innate spells.
Many spellcasters have worked hard all their lives, but may not reach this level before they die.
Realizing that this "negotiation" might be more troublesome than he expected, Zuo Si immediately took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm and rational, and bowed again.
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness. It is an honor for a small mortal like me to serve a great being like you. But before that, I hope to sign a binding magical contract to ensure the interests of both parties. After all, Only by working together can we get rid of those troublesome guards on the road to the upper level."
"Magic contract?"
An unexpected expression appeared on Wilmes' face.
She really didn't expect that the "little one" in front of her could come up with such a good thing.
After all, if you want a powerful red dragon who loves chaos by nature to abide by the agreement, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by any ordinary magic contract.
"That's right. I have written all the terms in advance. You only need to make a statement of agreement, and the contract will take effect immediately."
As he said that, Zuo Si took out a piece of paper from his satchel. A scroll made of unknown leather.
Unlike those magic scrolls that were produced no more than two or three years ago, this pale yellow scroll is obviously quite old.
The moment it was unfolded, a large and creepy blood-red mysterious symbol was instantly displayed.
Everyone who sees these symbols will immediately transform them into the most familiar and easy-to-understand words in their minds.
Wilmes only glanced twice and immediately understood that if he signed a contract and then violated any of the terms above, the terrible curse contained in this scroll would take effect.
At that time, all the treasures in her lair will be randomly teleported to unknown places in an instant.
For a greedy red dragon who regards wealth as his life, this price is absolutely unbearable.
So Wilmes' face that was proud one second was replaced by anger and rage the next second.
She opened her big mouth full of fangs, spraying sparks from her nostrils and throat, and threatened sternly: "Damn little bug! How dare you talk to the great Wilmes Condition! I order you to release the magic restraint immediately! Otherwise, you will die the moment I regain my freedom!”
The words have not yet been spoken!
Boom!
A loud noise and violent vibrations suddenly came from the upper level of the tower.
At the same time, the binding formations on the ground that shone with faint light suddenly became dimmer.
Not good!
Zuo Si's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He understood that this was a sign of excessive energy consumption.
The continuous impact of the undead creatures outside is consuming the reserves of the Mage Tower at an extremely fast rate.
So much so that we had to start reducing the supply of magic energy to maintain the binding circle in order to convert this energy into offensive spells to kill and repel the undead creatures trying to rush in.
The red dragon undoubtedly noticed that the restraints on his body were weakening, and he slowly started fighting from the ground, his eyes flashing like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Ah! It seems that I don't need you anymore, right?
You just mentioned that there are hordes of undead creatures outside, which will soon exhaust the energy of the mage tower.
< br>At that time, nothing will be able to stop the great Wilmes from destroying everything.
Both this tower and the entire floating city will become the property of the great Wilmes.
As for you, you cunning little thing
I will let you taste the most painful and desperate way of death..."
