Chapter 139 Reunion (Fifth update please subscribe)
More than half an hour later, when Zuo Si left the only mage tower in Mylatma with satisfaction, the old mage’s face was full of shock, confusion, Expressions of confusion and disbelief.
Because the boy in front of me, who looked only about ten years old, had just drained the energy reserves of the entire mage tower.
And there was no leakage or abnormal reaction in the whole process, it was as calm as if nothing happened.
The old mage couldn't figure out where the other party got all the energy.
You must know that according to the magic theory of Faerun, it is impossible for things like energy to appear out of thin air, let alone disappear out of thin air.
Unless you are making legendary magic items or artifacts, it is almost impossible to drain all the energy out of a mage tower.
Those remaining parts will inevitably manifest themselves in the form of flames, sound waves, negative energy, positive energy, lightning and frost.
But now?
Zuo Si just walked in and stayed for a while, and then all the huge reserve energy of the entire mage tower evaporated out of thin air.
Although he has several powerful magical items with arcane auras that can blind people's eyes, they are still far from reaching the level of a legend, or a sub-artifact, or an artifact.
Now comes the problem!
Where did the lost magical energy go?
The old mage, who was in his sixties or seventies and looked to have gray hair and beard, fell into deep contemplation.
If he hadn't been followed by a paladin of Ilmat, the god of suffering, he would even suspect that the Zuo Si in front of him was transformed from the "Felin Demon Kui".
Because except for the "Felin Demon Sunflower", there is no other creature in Faerûn that can suck up so much energy in such a simple and crude way in a short period of time.
Seeing the old mage looking like he had seen a ghost, Zuo Si immediately pretended to say: "Thank you for your help. Don't worry, we will definitely deal with the monsters outside the city and their owner Hong Dragon."
"Uh...you're welcome, this is what I should do."
The old mage responded casually.
If possible, he really wanted to ask Zuo Si directly where he had gone to the stored energy of his mage tower.
Unfortunately, it is quite taboo for arcane spellcasters to ask each other for their secrets.
If you are a relatively close friend or ally, you may be able to make some insinuations.
But if you are a stranger, doing this often means that you have evil intentions, and it is easy to fall out on the spot.
Maybe he will provoke an enemy to himself.
In this way, the old mage could only watch Zuo Si and his team disappear silently into the darkness.
After a full minute, an apprentice asked cautiously: "Instructor, what are we going to do now?"
"We don't need to do anything, just wait patiently for the results. Remember. "Remember, we are mages, and we have no need or obligation to live and die with this city. If Mailatma is really destined to be destroyed, then we will leave at the last moment."
After saying this. After saying that, the old mage turned around and walked into the magic tower behind him, continuing his research as usual.
The assistants and apprentices were obviously relieved when they heard that they didn't have to fight with the eager monsters outside the city. They were doing what they were supposed to do.
As for the life and death of the civilians in the city, what does it have to do with them.
In Faerûn, although it cannot be said that there are no mages from the good camp, the vast majority of mages are either from the cold and neutral camp that is inhumane, or from the evil camp that will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
......
On the other side, Zuo Si, who had created a sufficient number of magic cards, left the rest of the team in the city temporarily.
He summoned the manticore through communication magic, carried him over the city wall, and landed near the monster camp that looked a little messy.
Due to the use of the [Invisibility Wand] and the spraying of a special potion that was enough to mask one's own smell, neither the jackals with a keen sense of smell nor the wargs who were good at tracking noticed that an uninvited guest had just arrived. Pass by yourself.
After all, in the subconscious minds of these monsters, night is their own world. Humans without dark vision would not dare to leave the protection of the city wall at this time, so there was no need to worry about enemies approaching.
To be precise, they are more worried about other races in the camp than the shivering humans hiding in the city.
For example, those gnolls who will kill and eat all living creatures around them once they become hungry;
Trolls who have low intelligence but are extremely difficult to kill;
Or a stupid goblin who is always noisy and causing all kinds of trouble.
In short, monsters of different races are also full of various conflicts.
It’s just that there is a red dragon master pressing down on top of his head, so there is no big noise for the time being.
With the advantages of "stealth" and "small size", Zuo Si passed through one monster tribe after another with almost no effort.
If he encounters someone who is more vigilant, he will order the Shadow Army to attack.
In an instant, negative energy far exceeding the upper limit of the body's endurance was injected, ensuring that it would turn into a cold corpse before making any sound.
You must know that if the shadow's touch damage is reflected in the same numbers as the game, it will draw 1 to 6 points of strength attribute from the target's body.
The strength attribute of most medium-sized humanoid creatures rarely exceeds 20 points.
This means that as long as about 10 shadows touch a target at the same time, the target will immediately die because the strength attribute returns to zero.
What's more, the touch damage of advanced shadows is even higher than that of ordinary shadows.
The more he understood the shadow creatures, the more Zuo Si felt that the shadow army built around the card [Shadow Servant] had great potential.
Used well, it can instantly kill many seemingly powerful enemies, including overlord-level creatures at the top of the food chain such as dragons.
Of course, it is hard to estimate that one breath of dragon breath can wipe out the entire shadow army.
In addition, this card has another disadvantage, that is, it is completely ineffective against undead creatures and enemies blessed with the four-ring magic [Anti-Death Barrier].
But the flaws do not hide the virtues.
As an extremely low-cost LV2 card, the wide range of uses it displays is already impressive enough.
Following the messy camp and getting closer to the depths of the woods, Zuo Si soon saw a giant beast covered with red scales, crawling in a clearing.
She is none other than Wilmes, who was separated when passing through the portal.
In front of the dragon, there are two half-elves with dull expressions, who are obviously controlled by the charm of magic.
One of them is a male, wearing metal armor, and should be a melee professional such as a warrior.
The other one was a woman. At this moment, she had taken off all her clothes and was standing there naked. It looked like she was about to become food in the red dragon's mouth.
Because the evil red dragons are a group of carnivores, especially the meaty taste of young women.
So usually, when young and beautiful girls fall into their hands, their fate is dozens of times worse than that of men.
Some particularly cruel red dragons will even deliberately chew it repeatedly in their mouths to listen to the painful screams and wails of their victims before they die, and feel that it tastes more delicious this way.
Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen in front of him, Zuo Si immediately released his invisibility, walked out of the darkness, and interrupted with a smile: "Long time no see, Wilmes. You really are There was quite a commotion.”
moment!
The red dragon, who was ready to enjoy the food one second, stopped the next second, staring at the "little one" in front of him with wide eyes and disbelief.
On that ferocious face, surprise and emotion appeared, and tears seemed to flow from his eyes.
Because she knew that the appearance of Zuo Si meant that she finally no longer had to worry about her brain being eaten by that terrible thing...
