Chapter 373: Shimmering Oil and Dragon-shaped Engine (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Walking on the streets of the Ascatla Administrative District, Usiah was observing this city ruled by merchants from a new perspective cities, as well as adventurers and mercenaries who are driven by bounties and money to run around.
There is no doubt that being directly promoted from the little devil to the hell demon 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, and he could only obtain a career through continuous learning and training. Levels can make you more powerful.
In fact, he was 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 is not sure what this ability comes from, he is certain that the bard named Kels must be inseparable from 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 did not dare to ask without mentioning Usua.
But overnight, 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...
Usiah thought it would be better to honestly complete the task 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 with a constant effect similar to [True Seeing].
So you can see through at a glance the terrifying aura of the Hell Fiend hidden behind the transformation magic.
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 was 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 any ill intentions, I just followed the master’s order to send you some information and something.”
“Master? You mean... you are a servant of Soth?” "
A six-member council member dressed as a mage asked in a tone of great surprise.
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 that, Usiah ignored the vigilant and fearful eyes of these people and turned around. The box he was carrying, as well as the investigation report and list in his arms were gently placed on the table, and then he slowly retreated to the door of the room.
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 give them a sense of security.
But what he couldn't understand was that as the 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 demon, you might feel happy and satisfied when you see mortals being so scared, but for a demon who likes 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 unaware. Unknowingly lowering vigilance in order to achieve some ulterior motives.
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 on it.
The result is not clear even if you look at it, and you will be shocked when you look at it.
When it was learned that there were already so many mind flayers lurking in Askatra, and they had secretly infiltrated the political world, the business world, and the Shadow Thieves Guild, and controlled more than a dozen adventure teams and mercenary groups, Everyone gasped involuntarily.
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 do anything to me, my son and Daughter, take action! I demand that the entire Askatra be cleansed and eradicated."
"Don't be so excited, calm down and look at this list. We have already controlled too many resources and power, and if we use force, it may cause unnecessary panic and turmoil, which is detrimental to our booming trade," another member of the six-member council hurriedly dissuaded.
"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 merchants, nobles and civilians to flee out of fear."
"I also agree with this point of view! No matter what, we can't break Ah Skatra's current good development situation is to protect this business atmosphere."
"How about letting the shadow thieves take action? What if the action to clean up the lurkers is disguised as a war between guilds? The panic caused will be much smaller."
"Please! What do you think our Shadow Thieves Guild is? Most thieves and assassins can't deal with monsters like the Mind Flayer that can control minds and read memories at will. No. I think we should leave it to the Masked Mage Guild. "Don't be ridiculous! With their current manpower, they can barely suppress the Emerald Association and those bold adventurers." It’s already quite difficult.”
...
For a while, 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 the arrival of Zuo Si, a series of very profitable trades such as sugar, salt, fishing, pearl cultivation, rum, condiment manufacturing and spice cultivation were first launched on the Nelanser Islands. Then it 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 the largest island in Faerûn. One of the most important commodity distribution centers.
Compared with the past, its prosperity has improved by countless levels.
Looking 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, 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 guards, entourage, 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 neglected areas in the bridge area, 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 price of both purchasing and renting is very low, it is deeply loved by the common people at the bottom.
Of course, don’t think about things like this kind of house that cost a lot of money, such as tap water systems.
Generally, a large public 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 a little 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 considered safe. The Mu Empire has had very few "good governance" since its establishment.
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 have any big Action is good.
Otherwise, once this thriving 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.
It was exactly the same as when they sold the battleship dockyard and workers who made no money but lost money to Zuo Sixu.
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 the eyes of Uthea, 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 more protection for Amn's 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, 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 richest land in the country, as well as the most profitable business routes and industries in the past, and have accumulated amazing 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. Possibly vacant position.
Although the economic situation is great and everyone can eat their own share of the cake, 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 hard-to-discover conspiracy, he was still too immature and superficial, and needed more study to follow. Follow the master's thinking and serve the master better.
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 will secretly form a few elite teams, and then hire a few elite adventurers to kill these damn octopuses in a way that does not alert other people as much as possible. Clean the head.
As for the Paladins of the Knights of the Fiery 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 in everything. If one of them fails, 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 Salemquante, 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 Not too big.
At least the Masked Mage Guild cannot currently 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.
Usiah smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he stepped forward and opened the box in front of everyone.
In an instant!
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, hawksbills and soybeans. Beans, broad beans, and some golden dried coarse particles that have been ground so that it’s hard to tell what kind of crops they are.
Whether it is 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 here?"
Usiah replied without thinking: "Total all together, the total is 40 million tons.
According to the master's calculations, including serfs, there are approximately 2.5 million tons in Sambia. With a population of three million, the annual food consumption will not exceed 1.8 million tons. However, there is enough for them to consume for more than 20 years. .
As long as the country's food prices are sold at low prices regardless of costs, the output will always be far lower than the input, and those manor owners will start to stop growing food and switch to other vegetables, Fruit or simply raise poultry and livestock
By that time, if we suddenly stop supplying cheap food, or even start purchasing food at high prices to raise food prices, the entire Sambia will fall into unprecedented chaos.
Their economic structure and social order will be completely destroyed. 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, whether they are businessmen or manor owners, they will sell off their properties at extremely low prices.
Businessmen 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 this as a base to expand your power along the coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars. ”
There is no doubt that the grand blueprint drawn by Uthea and the fact that Faerûn has never staged a large-scale trade war directly targeting a country deeply shocked the six-person council present.
Because 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 such a one-time investment of 40 million tons of grain, let alone the impact on mulberry. Biya, a country with a population of only 2.5 million to 3 million, and the Kingdom of Cormyr with a population of 13 to 4 million people will inevitably be affected
What is a big deal?
What does it mean to hurt someone with your own heart?
How to play a cruel capital game without bloodshed?
Zuo Si taught these supreme rulers of Amn a lesson with practical actions.
Right now, 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 Cyre, which are ruled by red-robed wizards.
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 really kept his promise and gave us an unparalleled 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 it to the six-person council "Thank you very much."
"You are so polite. The master has always cherished the close cooperation with you, and hopes that this good relationship will continue." Uthia 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 another seat, turning the six-member council into seven, allowing him to participate in the country’s decision-making.”
Selzer Salem made a big promise straight out of the gate.
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-person 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 didn't care at all that the former was a terrible devil, and even shook hands and hugged him, which was 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 and the two portraits of the missing elf magic shooter, Lantis sighed helplessly and said: "Sorry, I think these two people should It has nothing to do with me."
"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, completely different.
Please note that the corners of the eyes of this magic shooter have lines extending backward, but I But not at all.
And his fingers are a little longer than mine, so the action of pulling the bow must be different.
It seems that I am not a native of this world, but. 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 Just take it one step at a time."
When he said 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, and from time to time he would teach those children who wanted to become rangers. The werewolf's crossbow shooting skills seemed to be doing pretty well on the surface, but he was always lonely inside.
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: "Are you willing to be my follower? Just like Davian, who is immortal, you can travel with me to different time and space. Explore those never-before-seen planes and fight against all kinds of powerful enemies?”
“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 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 have a very special ability that can transform any living thing into another state that normal people cannot understand.
In In this state, even if it is killed, it will only disappear for a while, and it will not take long to be reborn.
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 formally extended the invitation meaningfully.
Because in his opinion, it would be a waste to let a legendary elf magic archer sink like this.
< br>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 lifespan, it will be a huge loss.
"Give your life and future a goal..."
Lantis's whole figure seemed to be stimulated by something. He lowered his head and stared at his overgrown pair of eyes due to long-term bow-drawing. His calloused hands were lost in thought, and his eyes became very hollow.
Perhaps it is because he has been controlled and brainwashed by the Mind Flayer for a long time, or it may be due to too much memory loss. 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. Rather than living in such a state of confusion now, it's better to give Find some excitement for yourself. Anyway, according to you, 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 making any resistance."
As he said that, Zuo Siti The power of sparks from his hand enveloped the opponent.
The next second...
The dazzling light group sealed the legendary Elf Magic Archer and turned it into a biological card.
Following that, 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.
[Creature Card: Follower - Storm Demon Archer (Wind Elemental Bloodline)]
[LV11 Blue Card (can be upgraded)]
[Card Quality: Unique]
< br>[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 Mail, Dragon Boots, Super Agility Belt, Marksman Bracers, +6 Wind Bow, and masters "Thunderstorm Archery" and "Speed Melee Combat" Mixed martial arts skills (weapons limited to daggers and daggers)"
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.
One is equivalent to the effect of three-ring magic lightning, which can cause huge damage to enemies within a straight range;
The other is equivalent to the six-ring magic chain lightning, which can damage the target Causes mass damage to 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 accelerated 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, attacking all targets in the range regardless of whether it is the enemy or friend. Attack without distinction, and summon six wind element elders or more low-level wind elements every day to help him 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. When he reaches LV35, he will become the prince of the wind element. 】
【To use this card, you need to pay 150 points of blue magic power, or 150 points of general magic power】
[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 cards on the card After receiving the detailed information, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Not bad! Sure enough, the power of the wind elemental is more suitable for long-range attack professions such as the magic archer.
With the blessing of the power of the wind element, anyone who wants to Any enemy who comes close to Lantis will pay a heavy price.
The most important thing is that I finally have all the knowledge about the magic shooter..."
As the last word came 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 to 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 sufficient threat to those powerful enemies.
Unfortunately, the mana required to upgrade a magic shooter is a bit high. In addition, the current number of cards is quite large. It is estimated that it will take a while to upgrade them all.
Putting away all the cards in his hand, Zuo Si immediately called out "Legacy".
Due to not paying too much attention to the so-called "tasks" for a long time, and the number of card draws accumulated unintentionally, there are now 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 pages of the book, 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 richer.
The 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 his scalp tingle was that among these newly drawn cards, there were quite a few [Dragon Engine] and [Shining Oil].
You must know that this thing is a specialty of Phyrexia time and space. Although its founder and supreme leader Yawgmoth is not a planeswalker, he can be as threatening as the old dragon Nicol Bolas. On par.
Although in the thousands of years of war, the legendary planeswalker Urza had killed the Phyrexian god with a final blow before his death, and the entire space and time subsequently fell apart.
But those terrifying war machines, especially the famous [Shining Oil] that claims to be able to erode and pollute everything and unify all realms, can still have a devastating impact on any world.
And in addition to being able to turn an entire world of organisms into half-human, half-mechanical creatures through slow erosion, the other biggest feature of [Shining Oil] is that it can limit the transmission power of the planeswalker's spark.
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 thing works great when used with the [Dragon Engine]."
Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately felt his heart twitching violently and couldn't help but hold his forehead and lower his head. Cursing loudly: "Gan! I hope this guy has never used it on earth. If so, the consequences will be unimaginable."
But 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, it would not take a few years for all human beings in the true sense to perish and be replaced by a group of biological and mechanical creatures. constitute a completely new species.
Of course, this new species may still retain its original name of human being, but both its body and mind have undergone earth-shaking changes.
After carefully collecting the two [Shining Oil] cards, Zuo Si turned his attention to the other three [Dragon Engine].
As the name suggests, this thing is a war weapon made by Phyrexia. It looks 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 is even more terrifying is that this super giant mechanical creature has the ability to self-repair. 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, explosions and impacts will hardly cause effective damage to it. At best, it will only slightly deform the body structure, which will recover in just a few seconds. As is.
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 powerful and can threaten countless time and space throughout the multiverse is that their mechanical army is almost invincible as long as it has the blessing of Shimmering Oil.
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 gasp.
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 the powerful combat effectiveness of [Dragon Engine] comes not only from its size, strength and melee combat capabilities, but also from the breath of energy sprayed 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 planned to find a time to recruit a group of high-level talents from the floating city to study the [Dragon Engine] in front of him to see if he could not 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.
So you don’t 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.
