Chapter 281 Capturing the Floating City (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Zuo Si still knows nothing about what is happening in Faerun.
In other words, even if he knew it now, he would not have the mind or energy to care about it.
The reason is simple. He encountered a lot of trouble in the process of recovering the floating city of Plantia.
And this trouble only appeared when his undead cannon fodder was almost halfway to the central tower.
On the empty main road, there were twelve undead spellcasters wearing the robes that symbolized the archmage. They jointly performed an unknown magic ritual. As a result, more than 30,000 undead creatures were instantly taken away from control.
Not only that, they also cast a magic similar to a large-scale wall of force, which physically prohibited all physical creatures, including golems, from approaching.
Obviously, Zuo Si’s guess came true.
The corpses of the dead archmages not only successfully evolved into high-level undead creatures with sanity, but also controlled the magical power of their lives, and formed an alliance to once again become the supreme ruler of the floating city.
But unfortunately, the previously astonishingly powerful sealing magic has now become an obstacle to seizing the core control area of the central tower.
They were probably trying to crack it, so they did not show up immediately when the lich launched a tentative attack, and did not choose to take action until they entered the warning range.
From the rotten faces and clothing that were almost unrecognizable, Zuo Si probably recognized the identities of almost half of the people.
There is no doubt that these guys are powerful spellcasters who are almost as powerful as the Necromancer Asta.
Especially the old man wearing a light blue robe, who is the supreme leader of the Mage Council of the Floating City of Plantia, known as the "King of the Sky" Isido.
He invented a series of amazingly powerful spells and magic rituals including "Starfall" and "Air Explosion".
Although such a person was simply killed by the plague and then violently resurrected by negative energy without going through complicated magical rituals, it is almost impossible to completely retain his consciousness, memory and all spell-casting abilities during his lifetime.
But even if only a small part remains, it is enough to become a very difficult enemy.
"Your Excellency, I think we must take action. Otherwise, once the undead spellcasters crack and control the central tower, they may use the powerful power of the floating city to drive us out directly." Jeffrey suggested with a serious expression.
"Maybe we can prepare a magic ritual and launch a preemptive strike against them. Through the observation and detection just now, I have locked the positions of seven of them."
Said , a female lich who is good at prophecy magic marked several points on the map of the floating city.
"If they are intelligent, why can't we try to have some communication and negotiation?"
Vanessa put forward different opinions, while her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.
For a necromancer like him, this kind of advanced undead creature caster formed through natural evolution is undoubtedly an excellent research object.
In fact, in these days, this guy has collected quite a few types of undead creatures that have never been seen in Faerûn.
By studying these special "mutants", Vanessa not only mastered more techniques to utilize negative energy, but also developed several new methods of making undead creatures and constructs.
The zombie giants in the Mage Tower, which are five to six meters high and stitched together from dozens or even dozens of corpses, are the best proof.
But so far, these big killers have not been put into the battlefield.
“Damn it! You are simply crazy!
Undead creatures that have been repeatedly eroded by negative energy for a long time in the natural state and eventually evolved into sane creatures, like us, actively transformed into them through magic rituals Lich mages are fundamentally different.
It is almost impossible for them to retain much memory and personality during their lifetime, but slowly form new personalities in the process of evolutionary awakening.
In other words, these undead spellcasters do not have so-called humanity, and cannot even understand the thinking and logic of living people.
Communicating and negotiating with such a guy is simply not feasible.
And the power they control is too dangerous and must be completely controlled or destroyed. ”
This time Jeffrey stood clearly on the opposite side of his old friend.
By reading the knowledge and magic theories collected in the library of the Mage Tower, he has realized that the world has Invent many magics that rival the Nine Rings and even legendary spells.
Although these spells are more difficult to learn and more complex to release due to the lack of magic network, they can be used without any restrictions.
So even some guys who can only be considered low-level mages according to the standards of Faerûn can still release high-level magic with astonishing destructive power.
In addition, due to the greatly increased difficulty of learning magic, anyone who can become a mage or a high-level mage in this world is without exception a true genius with an intelligence attribute of eighteen points.
What's more, once contact occurs, the identity of one's outsiders will be immediately noticed by the other party, thus losing the possible advantage of launching a surprise attack.
To sum up, Jeffrey does not think that it is a good idea to negotiate with the other party, nor does he think that the other party will be willing to give up capturing and controlling the floating city.
But Vanessa was not a vegetarian, and immediately retorted: "How will you know if you don't try? Maybe the Scroll of the Undead can control them.
Don't forget, this necromancy magic Creation has helped us control more than thirty death knights, as well as four high-level ghosts that can emit sounds similar to the nine-ring magic banshee.
Once we control these undead creatures with amazing spellcasting abilities, The organization's power will immediately rise to a new level."
"It's too risky! Don't forget, our first goal is to capture the floating city, not to study the undead ecology." Another lich also followed. stood up and objected.
Although Vanessa is the second-in-command in the organization, they will not give in easily on matters like this that involve the interests of all core members.
Seeing serious internal differences, a group of lichs finally set their sights on the organization's supreme leader.
Looking at the light curtain force field outside the window that blocked the way to the central tower, Zuo Si lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Get ready, we will launch a general attack in half an hour.
Only by capturing the central tower of Plantia Floating City can we have the capital to establish a foothold in this world, and we can also know the approximate locations of several other floating cities.
This is the highest priority.
And I'm a little worried that since there are so many high-level undead creatures with spellcasting abilities and intelligence in the floating city of Plantia, the other floating cities should be similar.
If they control those floating cities, they might start trying to use these killer weapons to conquer more places, kill all the creatures they can see, and eventually turn this planet into a world where only the undead exist.
At that time, the floating city of Plantia will be the fortress and weapon for us to fight against. "
"Understood. ”
“Your will is our command. "
"I will immediately activate those construct armies. ”
...
All of a sudden, the lichs present began to take action.
They are not fools and understand that the future described by Zuo Si is not groundless, but has a high probability of happening in the next few years or even more than ten years.
If there are really no living people in this world and only the undead are left, then its value will be greatly reduced.
Soon, with the start of the war machine, the previously unexposed army of constructs and stitched giant zombies were continuously sent to the front line to replace the low-level undead creatures that were almost unable to hold on.
At the same time, the lichs also began to cast spells together, pouring large-scale destructive magic onto each other's heads.
Especially those locked undead casters were hit with saturated energy almost in the first round.
Three of them didn't even have time to apply protective magic, and their entire bodies were torn into pieces under the impact of the raging energy storm.
Since they are not lichs and do not have so-called phylacteries, they are truly dead when they die, and there is no chance of resurrection from the dead.
As for those who still have magic items or have been blessed with protective spells in advance, they got together in the shortest possible time and used the energy stored in the base mage tower to barely support a protective barrier. .
Just when they were hiding in the protective barrier and seemed to be discussing countermeasures, Zuo Si, who had been blessed with a lot of protective and strengthening spells, and used the [War God Possession] card, held a holy sword shining like the sun and fell from the sky, attacking He used his creator's ability on the outer wall of the barrier to destroy its stable support structure in an instant.
Following that, he raised the holy sword high above his head and slashed it down.
The next second...
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The indescribable bright light instantly enveloped everything within a hundred meters.
Thousands of low-level undead were purified on the spot in front of these lights full of positive energy, turning into tiny particles and dust that could not be distinguished by the naked eye and scattered in the wind. Some undead creatures like ghosts did not even have any trace of their existence. Leave.
What is even more frightening is that when the white light gradually dissipates, the ground eroded by negative energy actually shows incredible sacred properties.
The feet of several high-level undead creature casters who survived the positive energy explosion just now, as well as the skin, rotten flesh and bones exposed to the air, are all being burned violently by the positive energy. It is decomposed bit by bit when burned.
"Are you alive?!"
The tone of the undead spellcaster who was resurrected from the body of "Sky King" Isidor revealed strong shock.
You must know that since he "woke up" and developed self-awareness, except for the plants in the Arcane Garden, he has not seen any living creatures in the floating city.
"Yes, I am a living person. Although it is somewhat inappropriate to say this, I still want to say that it is a great honor to meet you in person, Master Isidor. You must know that for a long time, You are the great mage that I respect and admire the most, especially the air hammer spell, which has always interested me."
After that, Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and performed a standard mage salute. .
As the name suggests, an air hammer is a spell that achieves an instant violent impact on the target by manipulating and compressing air.
And it is divided into several levels according to the difficulty of learning and power.
The most powerful of them can even knock down a city wall several meters thick with one blow. Even a creature like a giant dragon will not die or be left half disabled after being hit by it.
Unfortunately, this spell is exclusive to Isidor and has not been taught to anyone else, not even his own apprentices.
In fact, according to the original plan, Zuo Si planned to wait until he successfully controlled the central tower to regain the Floating City of Plantia, and then immediately set about searching the towers of the great mages to see if he could find some. The other party’s unique magic, or research notes.
It is best to systematically sort out the magic knowledge of all factions, and then use it as nourishment for the development and growth of the organization.
After all, the magic of this world and the continent of Faerûn can be transformed into each other.
If those most powerful and advanced magics are successfully transformed, there will immediately be twenty or thirty more legendary spells to choose from.
"Isidor? Is this my name in life?" the undead creature caster asked in an extremely hoarse voice.
Obviously, he didn't have much memory of when he was alive, and his cloudy eyes revealed confusion and confusion.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. You are the supreme leader of the mage council of this floating city, and you are also one of the most powerful mage in the world.
What do you think? The created starfall is currently the only spell that can theoretically shoot down and destroy the floating city
Before the outbreak of the plague, you stood almost at the forefront of the magic path in this world, and you were a guide respected by countless people.
If possible, I really don’t want to be your enemy. "
"You know what happened in this floating city, right? "
Another undead creature caster who was lucky enough to survive being struck by the Holy Sword stared at the Holy Sword with some fear, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Due to the memory. Without it, these advanced undead creatures who suddenly evolved subjective consciousness and sanity, and even recovered scattered memory fragments, will involuntarily want to figure out their past.
Unfortunately, apart from a few remaining scrawled and confusing notes, not much useful information was found.
Not everyone is like Zuo Si, who has the habit of writing a diary frequently, recording all important things and his or her thoughts in books.
Because writing a diary is a bad habit in the eyes of most mages. Once discovered or seen by the enemy, it may expose one's weaknesses.
Some mages don’t even take notes on experiments, but keep all the contents in their heads, so that no one can steal their secrets and research results.
Of course, there are only a few people as extreme as the latter.
"Yes, not only do I know what happened, but I also know the names and identities of you before your death."
Zuo Si's fingers lightly traced the blade of the holy sword, feeling the warmth coming from his skin. Slight stinging.
Although under his transformation, this sword is no longer only usable by paladins like Casomire, but it still repels the touch of creatures of the evil alignment.
If the person who touches it is an undead creature, he will be swallowed up by the sacred flames in the next second.
Fortunately, the Planeswalker's sparks can absorb to some extent the energy released by the Holy Sword to burn the holder.
So Zuo Si's hand holding the sword hilt was only slightly red, as if he had touched something hot.
"So... you are a resident of this floating city?" Isido continued to test.
"I am the apprentice of Archmage Ashtar. Do you still remember this name?"
Zuo Si is obviously also interested in these immortals who have evolved self-awareness and sanity in the natural environment. The biological caster is very interested and wants to know the opponent's current status.
Especially whether their most important soul is still the same one.
Isidor frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally said in a slightly helpless tone: "This name gives me a very familiar feeling, but I don't know why I just can't remember it. Could you please tell me who he is? "?"
"Like all of you, he is a senior member of the Floating City Mage Council, and he has some personal grudges with you. But these are no longer important, because the mentor is dead. It’s me who ended his life with my own hands, and it’s your turn next.”
While saying these words, Zuo Si suddenly activated the [Yang] in the holy sword once a day without any warning. Pyroblast].
In an instant!
Positive energy once again swept the surroundings in the form of golden light and sacred flames.
However, this time the undead spellcasters present were obviously prepared. Three of them chose to use change magic to directly change their race, successfully avoiding the fatal damage of positive energy to the undead.
There are also some that are releasing spells like energy shields to keep out the sacred positive energy flames.
Only one guy who had no time to react or didn't know any similar spells screamed in agony.
Then in the scream, the whole body exploded, and the soul disappeared from the world together with it.
“Let’s do it together! Kill him!”
Isido shouted, and used his hand to instantly activate his most proud air hammer.
Zuo Si felt as if his chest was suddenly hit hard by something, and his whole body flew backwards uncontrollably.
In less than two or three seconds of flying, you can vaguely see several other undead creature casters releasing the spells they can remember at extremely fast speeds. Many of them are It was the exclusive magic he had coveted before, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile.
Just when these overwhelming spells were about to hit, another artifact suddenly released a dark blue light curtain.
All the spells cast on this light curtain disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Before the other party could react to what was happening, Zuo Si waved his backhand and instantly bounced back all the spells without missing a beat.
Boom! boom! boom! boom!
With violent explosions and various violent energy reactions, an undead creature caster was blown to pieces on the spot. His lower body and arms disappeared, leaving only the head and torso of the upper body.
There was another guy who was backfired by the arcane barrage he released, and his body was riddled with holes as if he had been shot by six Gatling tubes.
But for undead creatures, this is obviously not a big problem.
As long as you cast a few negative energy spells on yourself, you will soon be back to your original state.
As for Zuo Si, who was hit by the air hammer, he turned over in mid-air and quickly landed firmly on the ground.
You don’t need to ask to know that through the observation and rebound just now, he has roughly understood the basic principles and structures of these spells. With a little time, he can get the results he wants through reverse deduction.
And he had already blessed a lot of protective magic, so the air hammer did not cause any actual damage.
There is no doubt that although this world also has techniques such as spell countermeasures, there has never been an example of rebounding a spell successfully released by an enemy.
What's more, the memories of these undead spellcasters who evolved from the archmage's corpse were originally incomplete and fragmented, so they all showed extremely vigilant and solemn expressions.
After all, the reason why they were able to control the core area of the Floating City of Plantia relied on these spellcasting abilities that were retained for unknown reasons.
But now, the spell they rely on not only cannot kill the living person in front of them, but also turns it into a weapon in the opponent's hand, which undoubtedly brings a huge psychological impact.
"I'm sorry, I'm no longer the unknown person who was allowed to be manipulated by you." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
Although he also knew that these guys were just undead creatures resurrected from corpses, far from the real archmages in the council.
But when I see these existences that I could only look up to, now looking at a loss in front of me, I still can't help but feel an unprecedented joy and satisfaction. "Your goal is to kill us, and then capture and control this floating city?"
Isidoro undoubtedly sensed Zuo Si's intention and instantly released an astonishing amount of negative energy from his body. and arcane magical energy.
Seeing this, several other undead creatures who had not lost their ability to cast spells immediately formed a circular position around him, which was obviously for performing magic rituals.
"Yes, I am bound to win the Floating City of Plantia. No matter who blocks the way, I will kick them away without hesitation."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and expressed his attitude openly.
As the force wall magic surrounding the central tower was countered by the lich, a large number of constructs and high-level undead armies finally began to show their power, defeating the lords who controlled low-level undead creatures. Defeat and retreat.
Many mage towers that served as strongholds quickly fell under fierce attacks.
Every time a mage tower is occupied, Vanessa will immediately send someone to take it over and connect it with the mage tower behind it, eventually forming actual control over a neighborhood.
Some lords who originally surrendered to these high-level undead spellcasters even chose to surrender in order to avoid being killed.
It can be said that the situation in the entire floating city has been reversed.
As long as these last few guys are killed, Zuo Si will become the supreme master here.
As for making the opponent into a card, I basically don’t even want to think about it.
Because except for vampires and half-ghouls who still retain some characteristics of living humans, most intelligent undead are unlikely to fall into a coma or lose consciousness.
This also means that unless the levels of planeswalkers and sparks give it an absolute crushing advantage, there is a high probability that the opponent will fail as long as they maintain a strong sense of resistance and seal.
Although arcane magic, divine magic, and the special abilities of priests can force the other party to temporarily obey oneself, this kind of resistance from the heart cannot be erased.
This is why when Zuo Si makes advanced undead creatures, he basically does not give them wisdom, consciousness and independent thinking ability.
"So we are eternal enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation or negotiation. Very good! Since that is the case, I have nothing to worry about."
After saying that, Isido suddenly raised the staff inlaid with giant sapphire in his hand, and continuously poured the magical power in his body into it.
Other undead creature casters also hurriedly started chanting spells and channeling their magic power.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling blue light beam shot out from the top, tearing apart the dark clouds shrouding the sky above.
Following this, a huge magic circle opened up in the sky, forming a black hole larger than the area of the Floating City of Plantia.
The next second...
A comet with a diameter of several kilometers drilled out from the other end of the black hole and fell downward at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
The high temperature and heat generated by friction with the air during the fall make it look like it is wrapped in a red coat.
You don’t need to ask to know that the name of this spell is Starfall!
Isidor invented the most powerful and terrifying magic among many spells, which can even cause large-scale climate changes.
It is said that more than a hundred years ago, when he first used this spell, he directly destroyed a country on the opposite side of the continent that attempted to challenge the Master Council's dominance of the world.
The capital of the country was reduced to ashes on the spot by the impact of the comet. Not even half of the ruins were left after the incident. Only a huge pit remained there as a warning to all those who dared to challenge the mage.
At the same time, the earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions caused by the impact devastated the entire country in the aftermath.
The raised dust even covered the sky and the sun, causing the sky to be gray for several years. Not only did the ambient temperature drop rapidly, but the crop yields also dropped significantly, and tens of millions of civilians starved to death as a result.
Those who survived also contracted a terrible cough disease, and eventually died under pain and torture. If nothing else, it should be "pneumoconiosis" caused by inhaling too much dust.
To this day, people living on that continent are still struggling to survive in the extremely harsh environment, and civilization has also regressed back to the primitive tribal era.
Such a terrible disaster, not to mention in a world with relatively backward productivity, even in modern societies in the region, I am afraid that few countries can withstand it.
It was precisely after witnessing the power of Starfall with their own eyes that the Council of Mages decided that this spell was enough to threaten the floating city with countless magical protections, and it has since been banned from being used at will.
But now, all the members of the Mage Council are probably dead.
And Isidore is not the previous Supreme Leader of Plantia Floating City with human identity, but an undead resurrected from a corpse. Naturally, he will not care about the terrible consequences of using Starfall.
"Oh - my God! Goddess of Magic! Is this the top and most powerful magic in the world?" Jeffrey opened his mouth like crazy and exclaimed.
As an archmage who has mastered nine-ring magic and is launching an attack on the legend, he has roughly known the names and effects of several legendary spells through internal information within the organization and some external rumors.
But among these legendary spells, none has ever been able to shock people from the heart like the one in front of them.
After all, it was not a meteorite with a diameter of several meters, tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, but a comet with a diameter of kilometers.
In Faerûn, except for the elves in ancient times who used a magic ritual to tear apart the entire continent, almost no other mortals can master this super spell that can be titled "World Destruction".
"Lord Soth is indeed right! This world is a huge treasure for us! If we can learn all the advanced magic, what can the red-robed mage do in front of the organization? "
Even Tyrantir, who likes to stay calm and rational, can't help but have a tremor in his voice.
Because the huge benefits brought by occupying the floating city have far exceeded the limit he could imagine.
"Everyone! Please don't be too happy! Now we must find a way to prevent the comet from falling and destroying this floating city that belongs to us!" Vanessa reminded loudly.
"What do you think of the force wall technique? We have multiple layers of force wall technique above our floating city to offset the terrifying impact of the meteorite impact?"
Another wizard The demon quickly came up with the solution he could think of.
As we all know, force wall technique uses magical power to create a transparent wall out of thin air that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Theoretically, it can be immune to almost all types of damage, except for dispelling magic effects and dissociation.
Therefore, as long as there is enough force wall between the comet and the floating city, it can slow down the speed of its impact and reduce the possible damage.
If the force wall is placed well, the comet can also be cut into several pieces so that it cannot destroy the main body of the floating city.
Jeffrey immediately shook his head vigorously: "No, no. Look at the red coat wrapped around the outer layer of the comet. Its temperature must be very high. Once it breaks up and triggers a large-scale meteorite rain, the consequences will not be the same. It’s not much better than being hit directly.”
“What do you think we should do? Are you using the wishing technique to gamble on luck?” The angle of impact can only be slightly changed.”
"Can you try to use the gate to teleport the comet away? For example, throw it to the star realm or other planes?"
"Are you kidding? How can the gate to other worlds be able to accommodate such a large volume? "
...
For a while, the lichs were quarreling over how to deal with the threat of the comet.
Just when they thought about it and couldn't come up with any good solution, they suddenly found Zuo Si not far away holding up a red card in his hand.
The moment the card is activated!
The dark clouds in the sky next to it were also torn apart, and an almost identical black hole appeared.
Then a second comet fell from the sky, falling at a completely different angle.
Judging from the angle and trajectory of the latter's fall, it will just collide with the second comet halfway.
Not only Vanessa and the other lichs were dumbfounded by such a weird situation, but even the undead spellcasters who joined forces to release the Starfall were also stunned.
They couldn't believe in their wildest dreams that this super magic that they used as their trump card could be copied and pasted so easily by their opponents.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, two comets collided in mid-air a few minutes later.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The deafening loud noise shattered the dark clouds covering the sky for hundreds of kilometers.
Just the shock wave transmitted to the surroundings cut off the nearest mountain peak directly. A large amount of gravel rolled and slid down from the height, completely submerging a small town at the foot of the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of meteorites after the comet shattered, streaked fiery red tracks in the sky like raindrops, and then fell to the ground, igniting all the weeds and trees, and quickly formed an endless sea of fire.
Thanks to the energy shield protection above the floating city, the vast majority of meteorites did not cause any damage.
The larger ones were also bounced away by the force walls released by the lich at an angle.
"You...what exactly did you do?"
After being silent for a long time, Isidor finally took the lead to break the silence.
"Guess!"
Zuo Si instantly showed a very nasty smile.
Obviously, he just tried the upgraded [Magic Card: Make It Echo].
This card can record the last successfully cast spell of any target except yourself, and then use it within one minute.
When I first got it, it was only LV5, so at best it could copy spells below the ninth level.
But after upgrading to LV8, you can already copy most of the legendary magic.
This is why when facing legendary mages such as Manson and Sazastan, you are not afraid of the other party using legendary spells.
Any spell cast in front of a planeswalker may be cast on him in the next second.
As the number of cards on hand increases, Zuo Si has more options to use when dealing with enemies.
Just when the enemy figured out one of the combat strategies through meditation, he could immediately come up with several or even a dozen new methods.
Seeing that their strongest trump card, Starfall, did not cause any damage, these undead spellcasters finally began to retreat.
It’s just that the current floating city prohibits all teleportation magic or flying magic. Unless they are also planeswalkers and have the ability to tear apart space and travel to the dark void, it is absolutely impossible to escape.
In desperation, these guys can only continue to work together to try to find opportunities to defeat Zuo Si.
But unfortunately all these attempts ultimately failed.
Because low-level spells have no effect on Zuo Si, high-level spells and magic rituals require instant preparation, and will be destroyed by the creator's ability over time.
Over time, when the magic power was finally drained bit by bit, these undead spellcasters who were archmages in their lifetimes finally came to the end of their lives.
As Isido was purified by the holy sword that exuded golden light, the war to determine the ownership of the floating city of Plantia finally came to an end.
Although there are still a large number of low-level undead and lords hidden in some houses, basements and streets, they no longer pose a threat.
With a little effort to clean up, the city will be completely under control.
Of course, there is one very important thing that must be done before that, which is to lift the barrier set by the central tower.
For others, this can be quite a difficult thing to do.
But for Zuo Si, it is just a desperate attempt to absorb the energy that maintains the barrier, until the barrier cannot maintain its stability and eventually collapses.
However, the energy in the central tower is provided by the heart of the earth, so even he will have to spend several days of work.
During this period, the lich took the opportunity to complete the cleaning work of the floating city, and collected the books and notes collected in other towers into a volume.
Since they have learned the languages of this world in advance, they have no obstacles at all in learning and reading this knowledge.
In only about three to five days, many spells have been transformed into each other.
While Vanessa, Jeffrey and other core members of the organization were happily exchanging their opinions and experiences, the entire floating city suddenly shook violently, and then began to fall straight down from an altitude of several thousand meters.
At the same time, the magical barrier that prohibited teleportation and flight also disappeared.
Due to the speed, there was even a brief weightlessness in the surrounding area.
Fortunately the duration was very short and the fall stopped after just a few seconds.
At this time, the lichs didn't care about their own research. They immediately dropped what they were doing and came to the main entrance of the central tower.
I saw that the original seal had disappeared, and the closed door was opened at some point, revealing a road leading inside.
No hesitation!
Vanessa took the lead and walked in first.
The moment his feet stepped on the steps, his whole person was instantly enveloped by a wave of energy, and then he was teleported to a space that should be deep underground in a blink of an eye.
A few seconds later, other lichs were also teleported over.
Through the faint light around them, they finally saw with their own eyes the energy core of this floating city, a huge prismatic crystal four meters high and one meter wide standing in the middle of the cave.
“Is this the heart of the earth?”
Jeffrey walked closer and carefully stretched out his hand to touch the surface.
The moment his dry fingers came into contact with the crystal, his whole body immediately got rid of the influence of gravity and floated from the ground.
Not only that!
Abundant leyline magic energy poured into his dead body like a tide, causing his bones to undergo severe crystallization in less than a minute.
In order to prevent himself from being stretched alive, Jeffrey quickly withdrew his hand and took several steps back.
“Don’t touch the heart of the ley line directly with your body. This is a very dangerous and reckless behavior. As I told you, this treasure is directly linked to the ley line energy inside the planet. It can even provide the entire floating city with energy far exceeding the demand..."
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Zuo Si slowly walked out of the dark shadows.
At this moment, he was no longer what he usually looked like, but his whole body was exuding dazzling arcane light.
Whether it is the cells that constitute the most basic unit of the body or the blood flowing in the blood vessels, they are all replaced by the purest and terrifying energy.
Obviously, this is the result of constantly absorbing energy to destroy the barrier these days.
Even as a planeswalker, he cannot digest so much energy at once, so he can only temporarily store his body as a container.
Because of the existence of sparks, planeswalkers will not quickly crystallize like ordinary people after enduring energy beyond their own limits.
However, in any state, it is impossible to use any magic or abilities.
"Sir, what are you doing..."
Vanessa undoubtedly noticed something strange about Zuo Si's body.
"Don't worry, it's just a little trouble. I just need to consume the energy later or make a magic item to return to normal." Zuo Si shrugged indifferently Shoulder.
According to his current image, which is like the descending of a god, if he returns to the continent of Faerûn, he will most likely be mistaken for an incarnation of some god or a saint.
"I see. So how are we going to control this complex and huge central tower now?"
Vanessa impatiently raised the question she was most concerned about.
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "It's actually very simple! According to the magic agreement set by the original builder of Plantia Floating City, as long as all of us join this organization called the Master Council, and then vote A supreme leader can immediately obtain the highest authority.”
“Magic agreement? You mean that this floating city operates through a powerful binding clause?” Showing an expression of extreme surprise.
"Yes. Let's go, let me take you to visit this mage tower and the supreme code stored in the secret room."
With that said, Zuo Si activated the teleportation device to teleport everyone from the space where the heart of the earth was to the middle level of the mage tower.
Under his leadership, the lichs from Faerûn were quickly attracted by the unique magic skills of this world.
