Chapter 651 Dumbledore is short of money (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)


majestic!

Magnificent!

Huge!

It is full of supernatural magical powers that are completely different from modern society, but are also very developed and convenient!

With the multi-super spellcasting environment constructed by other time and space connected by Mythra's Core, Elven Magic Mystery Lock, and Planeswalker Land Cards, the capital of the empire on the west coast of Faerun Continent - As Catra has already presented a strange scene similar to the high integration of magic and technology in the time and space of Ravnica.

Coupled with a population that has swelled to more than 2.4 million, the wealth and power possessed by just one city exceeds the sum of several countries and regions combined.

In particular, hundreds of mage towers were built at special nodes in the city in a certain position and order.

Among them, the giant mage towers are owned by Zuo Si himself or his Arcane Society and the Masked Mage Guild, while the small and medium-sized ones are owned by the mage who built them.

But all mage towers have one thing in common, that is, they are all integrated into a huge magic network system.

Of course, the tower owner can do whatever he wants within the scope of permission.

But once they enter a wartime state, they will have to obey the command of the main tower as the core of the network and become part of Askatra's magic defense system.

When necessary, you must also accept the call to join the mage group to fight for the empire.

Of course, the advantage is that you can get more knowledge, resources, and channels for selling homemade potions, scrolls, and magic items.

Because the Mythra Core provides nearly unlimited energy, temporary magic items that were extremely prosperous in the Netherese era began to come into the public's sight again.

Things that previously required thousands of gold coins can now be produced with only a hundred gold coins or even a dozen gold coins.

It is not only valid within the city limits of Ascaltra, but can also be used normally in all other large cities in the empire. Even the carriages that originally transported the main force in the city have gradually been replaced by mechanical vehicles driven by magical energy, or in the sky. A fast shuttle aircraft.

As for the water supply, you only need to spend some money to buy a stainless steel valve that can directly connect to the water elemental plane.

Various magic network-driven fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, radios, and magic mirrors that can be used to pay for remote viewing of theater performances directly at home have also been created in the hands of wizards and inventors from the Gond Church, the god of craftsmen. come out.

Moreover, more efficient magic machines have replaced the hydraulic forging hammers previously built along the river bank. Large stamping machines, hydraulic presses, and steelmaking blast furnaces have also appeared in factories in the industrial zone.

Even in the food processing and textile industries, many have transitioned from manual workshops to assembly line processes.

"What a beautiful and vibrant magical city. I still have a strong sense of unreality. I really hope that one day Gellert can also see this scene and start this great adventure with me. ”

Through the window of the Mage Tower, Dumbledore looked down at the vast flow of people rushing to the workplace in the early morning streets of the city and couldn't help but sigh.

I saw them rushing to buy a variety of cheap and nutritious breakfasts and drinks from roadside stalls to fill their mouths, while talking with colleagues or friends about the bad things they encountered in life and work-related matters. content, and then cursed and crawled into a crowded rail train powered by magic.

This is a new public transportation system that only appeared after the magic lock covered major cities. It has already connected several of the most important areas of the city.

It appeared mainly because the space span of Ascatra became larger and larger during the continuous expansion process.

Whether transporting people or goods, there is an urgent need for a cheap and convenient transportation tool.

A mage was inspired by the rail vehicles used to transport ore in the mines, and used the complex spell effects provided by the magic mystery lock to finally create such a train that can automatically drive on a specific track.

It is not like a tram on Earth. It is just a simple rectangular empty box with some seats and handles inside. One to several buckets may be dragged behind it as needed, and there are no wheels at all. , floating directly above the ground.

As for the track, it is not two rails, but a palm-wide magic magnetic pole that can continuously generate a slight upward thrust.

Similarly, magic magnets are also installed at the bottom of the carriage.

In this way, as long as the carriage is blessed with the [Feather Falling Technique] through the magic lock, the repulsive force generated between the magnetic poles alone is enough to float the fully loaded carriage.

Follow that by opening the channel installed under the carriage to connect to the wind elemental plane, you will be able to obtain strong airflow and generate stable forward thrust.

Since all magic-related creations are temporary magic items, they are very cheap to build and require little maintenance.

If he hadn't confirmed that he was already in another world, Dumbledore would have even thought that this was the streets of London decades ago.

Of course, the food, housing and income of the civilians of Ascatla are a hundred times better than those of the indifferent colonial empire where the sun never sets.

After all, one of the two is capital controlling the country, while the other is an absolute dictatorship controlling capital.

In addition to maintaining the operation of the bureaucracy, almost all taxes in the entire West Coast Empire are used to invest in infrastructure, education, health and social welfare.

Not only will the royal family not take away even a single copper plate from it, they will even add a huge amount of funds every year that is beyond the reach of other countries to vigorously train arcane spellcasters and encourage innovation and invention.

The most important thing is that Zuo Si, as the imperial dictator, provided this country with strong military protection.

All kinds of god churches, gangs, thieves guilds, dragons, evil organizations and alien creatures basically dare not cause trouble here.

Otherwise, if there is any outrageous behavior, the authoritarian iron fist will fall from the sky in minutes.

According to Dumbledore's current understanding, the West Coast Empire never cares about any laws when fighting such enemies, let alone being bound by rules and regulations.

Once discovered, the powers hidden in the darkness will be used to uproot the opponent.

There will be no trial in the entire process, and there will be no involvement of the judicial system. All participants, without exception, will disappear from the world, as if they never existed.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore, who had already drank the life-extending potion and returned to his forty-year-old appearance, could not help but sigh in a low voice: "Okay, I now understand why Soth has always had control over the power of the wizarding world. Not the slightest bit interested.

Compared with this powerful magic empire, the world of wizards is really small and pitiful, and it probably cannot satisfy his appetite at all.

What's more, he was able to develop a country that was originally in the Middle Ages to the Renaissance into what it is now in a short period of time. Everyone has to admit that he is definitely an excellent ruler.

Although the style may be a bit arbitrary.

But this is understandable.

After all, there are various dangers in this world, including gods, angels, demons, demons, dragons, etc.

If the ruler is not strong enough, it may lead to serious and disastrous consequences..."

There is no doubt that Albus Dumbledore has never been a rigid person.

Paddle Except for a few issues involving bottom lines and principles, he actually does not have any obvious political leanings, and he is not as kind and righteous as many people think. He even uses some extraordinary means to achieve his goals in some cases.

Since following the lich of the Arcane Society to Askatra, this old man who once stood at the top of the magic world has continued to learn more about the history of Faerûn through the rich books in the library. There are so many terrible crises hidden under the seemingly peaceful surface of this world.

What makes him even more frightened are the gods, ancient evils and divine powers that can easily trigger a crisis of annihilation, as well as the different camps. The never-ending battle between gods.

In such an environment, mortal life is so fragile that if you are not careful, you will be forced to get involved and become a tragic victim.

So Dumbledore believes that in this case, no matter whether the governance method is dictatorship or democracy, the most important thing is to provide ordinary people with maximum protection.

The West Coast Empire is undoubtedly the one that does this best.

Just as he was about to turn around and head to the nearby canteen to have some breakfast and review the magic knowledge taught yesterday before going to class, a young female apprentice with short brown hair suddenly rushed from the corner of the stairs. He came out, quickly took out a red-covered book from his arms, held it in his hands, and said breathlessly: "Give it back... back to you! Thank you so much. Without your help, I might never have a chance in this life. Exposed to such profound and complex magical knowledge."

"You're welcome, Miss Daisy.

I'm just being generous to others.

After all, these books and notes do not belong to me. All I did was temporarily borrow them from the library.

In addition, I must solemnly remind you that as a mage, staying up late for a long time and not getting enough rest is a taboo. ”

Dumbledore took the red-covered book with a faint smile on his face.

It must be said that he, who maintains his appearance at about forty years old, is the perfect person in his life. The most masculine time

Whether it's his weather-beaten eyes full of wisdom, the mature aura exuding from his whole body, or his handsome face, they are enough to have a fatal attraction for young girls who are inexperienced in the world.

The young apprentice known as Daisy's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a blush appeared on his face. He quickly touched the dark circles under his eyes caused by staying up late, and responded in a shy tone: "This is also There is no way around it.

After all, it is not easy for an apprentice like me who comes from a commoner background.

If it weren’t for the funding provided by His Majesty the Great Emperor, my apprenticeship would be impossible. The textbooks and courses that need to be prepared are beyond the reach of ordinary families

Not to mention the books in high-end libraries that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins

So I must seize every opportunity I can to improve myself.

Only by obtaining a higher spellcasting level and mastering more spells can you have the opportunity to make more money and go further on this path.

A big shot like you who can go in and out of the high-end library to borrow any book at will will not understand the difficulties of apprentices like us who are ordinary people.

Of course, I'm not complaining.

After all, if it were in the past, a commoner like me wouldn't even be qualified to touch magic. ”

After saying that, Daisy put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

Because she knew very well the value contained in that book.

If converted into gold coins, even selling oneself to the slave merchant in Ser ten times may not be enough.

The girl did not understand why Dumbledore wanted to help her for free.

Could it be that he is attracted by his young body and beauty?

If this is the case, then Daisy would definitely be more than happy to be the mistress of this mature and handsome middle-aged man.

But the problem is that she has hinted it several times, but the other party just laughed it off and was not moved at all.

This completely unequal relationship made her feel very uneasy.

After all, the value that mages believe in is that if you want to get anything, you must give something.

When a person continues to give you benefits without asking for compensation, it often means that the price you have to pay in the end may be very huge.

What's more, Dumbledore's identity and origins are too mysterious.

So much so that no one knows who he is and why he only started to learn arcane magic at this age, and he can also have his own independent room in the mage tower and access to the most advanced books. library and have the authority to borrow books at will.

Especially the last one, only those legendary spellcasters called "Masters" can obtain it.

But the other party is obviously not a legendary caster, otherwise there would be no need to take basic courses with other apprentices.

But what Daisy didn't know was that the reason why Dumbledore gave her books was just because he was used to being the principal at Hogwarts, and he was used to providing as much help as he could to those smart and hard-working apprentices.

As for beauty...

Sorry, I don’t like women at all.

Looking at the uneasy expression of the young girl, Dumbledore couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "You don't have to be so polite, Miss Daisy.

I believe that with your intelligence and ability If you work hard, you will definitely go a long way on the path of magic.

You have enough talent, but I just don't want these talents to be wasted.

Come on, your future will be bright. "

"Thank you, I swear I will never forget this kindness. ”

Daisy was obviously inspired by these words.

Because her starting point is too low, she can’t buy all kinds of expensive things like children from rich families. He used materials to do experiments, borrowed and copied spells that required money to learn, so he always felt very inferior in his heart.

Even when eating, he could only eat free meals and never dared to touch them. Those delicacies that you have to pay to eat.

In the process of learning magic, rich and poor apprentices are like people from two different worlds.

Although there is no difference between them in terms of status and level.

But at the same intelligence level, a wealthy apprentice will always learn faster and have a higher spellcasting level than an apprentice without money.

The latter often needs to work ten times or even dozens of times to barely catch up with the former.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The most taboo in learning magic is to rush for success. Let's go and have some breakfast together. I'll treat you."

Dumbledore took Daisy into the cafeteria and ordered a lot of expensive high-end cakes, biscuits, bread and steaks.

As a person who hates sweets, he began to eat sweets with a vengeance after regaining his youth. Even if he didn't eat, he would stuff two pieces of candy or fresh milk of various flavors into his mouth. cake.

After filling their stomachs, the two went to the place where classes were held and joined other apprentices, waiting for the consciousness of the tower to come in the form of a phantom to impart new magical knowledge.

By the time the morning classes were over, it was already close to eleven o'clock.

Since learning magic will cause the brain to consume energy more quickly, groups of apprentices flocked to the cafeteria as soon as get out of class was over, intending to fill their hungry appetites with sumptuous meals.

But today, Dumbledore did not go with him. Instead, he left the Mage Tower alone and headed to the administrative district of Askatra.

While passing the market along the way, he didn't forget to stop in and take a look around, choosing merchants from all over the world to gather here to sell all kinds of strange products.

Not only the continent of Faerûn, but also the merchants from the Karatu continent in the far east, the indigenous chiefs of the Maztec continent, and the caravans from the outer plane and other material planes on magic ships. , are also attracted by the prosperous market here.

As long as law and order is followed, even demons, devils, mind flayers, beholders, Githyanki, and dragons can rent shops and stalls for business.

The currencies used in the exchange range from precious metals to souls.

Some merchants who like to play the long game even allow customers to pay in installments or sell their souls and body ownership rights after death.

When he first came to this place, Dumbledore was completely stunned by the sight of demons dancing around.

Especially some extremely evil materials and magic items, which made him suddenly feel that the murderous "Voldemort" Tom Riddle was simply harmless in front of these creatures that truly exuded evil from their bones. Little white rabbit.

The painful effects brought about by the Cruciatus Curse are simply not on the same level as the torture of souls by necromancers, demons and devils.

And if used too much, the Cruciatus Curse will cause the target to go crazy.

But torturing the soul has no such side effects and can keep the other person awake all the time.

However, after experiencing the initial shock, Dumbledore quickly adapted to the market environment and would come to buy things he was interested in every once in a while.

Although he could get whatever he wanted from the warehouse of the mage tower at will, he did not use this privilege frequently. Instead, he tried his best to be self-reliant and relied on his alchemy skills to concoct magic. Medicine, crafting magic items to make money.

After all, the debt of gratitude must be repaid.

The old man's strong self-esteem made him unwilling to accept too much charity.

In a short time, Dumbledore spent all his budget of several thousand gold coins and reluctantly left this huge market full of surprises and frights.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue shopping, but that he has spent all the money he brought.

As a top wizard who did not have a strong desire for wealth before, he has never been so impatient to get more money as he is now.

Because everything involving magic in Faerûn is ridiculously expensive.

Without enough financial support, even conducting some decent experiments and magic research is a luxury.

"Sigh - it seems that I have to seriously consider that person's proposal."

Standing at the entrance of the market, looking at the huge transactions of other high-level mages and plane merchants that often cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins, Dumbledore sighed slightly, tasting poverty for the first time. The best way to get rich quickly in this city is to work with powerful chambers of commerce and families.

You must know that Amn was originally the most prosperous country in Faerûn, with the output and categories of various commodities ranking first in the entire continent.

Now it is growing directly and explosively. Like a terrifying giant beast, it is madly destroying the basic handicraft industries in the surrounding areas and even further away, completely smashing and destroying them, and then transforming them into cheap raw material production areas and through trade treaties. dumping market.

No force in the entire Faerûn continent can withstand such a scale of dimensionality reduction.

But fortunately, most countries and city-states are still in primitive agricultural and feudal societies. Neither the upper-class rulers nor the people at the bottom realize what this means.

They are even grateful that various previously expensive goods are becoming cheaper and cheaper. At the same time, orders for large quantities of raw materials have also made their disposable wealth continue to grow.

Some vested interest groups that have made huge profits from it have also been advocating how advanced and developed the West Coast Empire is, how fair and just the judicial system is, how high the moral standards of the people are, and how sophisticated the bureaucracy is. Efficiency and integrity are simply a beacon of light that illuminates the entire civilized world, an ideal country in the minds of thinkers and philosophers.

Even the trade alliance, a tool used to expand the influence of the goddess of wealth and indirectly control the economies of other countries and regions, has also been touted as a great initiative that can benefit everyone.

But anyone with a little knowledge of modern economics understands that this accumulation and growth of wealth is seriously unequal.

Although on the surface, due to the increase in productivity, everyone's life is moving in a good direction.

But in fact, instead of narrowing, the gap between rich and poor is widening at an unprecedented speed.

Before the establishment of the West Coast Empire, an Amn merchant or noble family with a fortune of one million gold coins was considered to be ranked high.

Even the top three richest people are unlikely to have assets exceeding five million gold coins.

But now?

They may have been forced to surrender most of their land rights, but they became more powerful than ever in the commercial arena.

The funds are so strong that they can even provide loans to a country for several years, and then earn high profits through the other party's mortgaged tax rights, mining rights, etc.

From production to transportation to sales, businessmen have gradually formed a model of both competition and cooperation in which you have me and I have you.

Of course, this is not because they don’t want to monopolize to earn higher profits, but because they are really frightened by Zuo Si’s “Tweet Order” and have to reduce their shareholding in a single chamber of commerce as much as possible ratio, adopting a cross-shareholding strategy that casts a wide net.

In this way, although he lost absolute control, he also avoided being targeted because of his family's huge wealth and influence.

In addition, just because the big family can't own much land in the West Coast Empire doesn't mean it can't be done abroad.

For example, southern Sambia, which has been economically colonized by Amn, as well as the large areas of reclaimed wasteland in the North, as well as neighboring countries such as Vale, Tumis, and Cormyr, can all be invested by spending money. Acquire large manors and castles one after another, and continue to enjoy the privileges of feudal noble lords outside.

In Dumbledore's view, these people are actually very similar to pure-blood families in the wizarding world.

The only difference is that they have not developed the bad habit of arrogance. Instead, they usually behave more modestly and low-key.

However, Dumbledore obviously didn't know that the reason why he was treated like this was inseparable from his identity.

Otherwise, with Bernard’s current identity and status, how could he come forward in person for a mere profit of a few thousand gold coins.

Yes.

The person who made the deal with Dumbledore was none other than Bernard, who decisively made the first round of angel investment in Zuo Si back then.

As a big businessman who has witnessed and participated in all this, he is already one of the most powerful and status nobles in the entire Ascatra and even the West Coast Empire. His property is so huge that it is difficult to accurately calculate, because It's expanding every moment.

Although his family is sparsely populated due to some special reasons, anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows how close the personal relationship between this middle-aged and slightly obese man is and the emperor of the empire.

It can even be said that Bernard's every move in the business field represents the will and tendency of the emperor.

Many families have successfully completed their transformation by imitating his investment direction and have not been eliminated by this era of drastic changes.

So from the moment Dumbledore arrived in Ascaltra, Bernard knew who this old man from another world was and how important he was to Zuo Si.

When Dumbledore wanted to make money by selling the potions and magic items he made, he took the initiative to make contact.

The purpose is certainly not to make that meager profit.

To be precise, Bernard never thought of making even a penny from Dumbledore, and was even mentally prepared to sell at a loss.

In his eyes, this was a risky gamble, just like investing in Zuo Si back then.

Once successful, you will definitely get unimaginable huge rewards.

In order to achieve this goal, the shrewd businessmen made many plans in advance, even including an initial investment of one million gold coins.

Because he helped Zuo Si build the mage tower, he knew very well how expensive magic was.

The simplest and most direct way to win the favor of an arcane spellcaster is to spend money regardless of the cost.

Thankfully, Bernard now has a rich enough family fortune, so he does not have to worry about bankruptcy that may result from not receiving timely returns on a large investment.

While he was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking through the income and expenditure accounts of the past few months, thinking about how to find a breakthrough from Dumbledore, the butler suddenly walked in quickly from the outside. , first bowed very gracefully, and then reported in a low voice: "My lord, Sir Albus Dumbledore, whom you especially told to be careful with, is here. Do you need me to bring him here?"
< br>"What?" Bernard was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded. "Of course! Invite him to the living room quickly. Also ask the maid to prepare all the best drinks, and notify the kitchen to cook a sumptuous meal. Remember, you must let the other party feel my sincerity."


"Understood."

Hearing the master's instructions, the housekeeper naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately made all the servants in the entire mansion busy.

About a few minutes later, Dumbledore walked into the living room under the leadership of the butler, and greeted with a smile: "Good afternoon, dear Mr. Bernard, I hope you will not blame me for not prioritizing "No, of course not, I'm not happy yet. What would you like to drink? Coffee? Or some aperitif?" br>Bernard's whole body was filled with joy, and he almost had the word "hospitality" written on his face.

"Bring me a cup of coffee. Remember to add more sugar and honey. I like a sweeter taste."

Dumbledore chose a drink at random.

This is not only a polite response to the host's hospitality, but also a good way to cushion your stomach.

After a while, a cup of strong coffee with a lot of sucrose and honey was brought out.

Without saying a word, he waved his wand to lower the temperature of the scalding coffee to a tolerable level, then picked it up and took a sip.

After savoring the bitterness and sweetness on his tongue, Dumbledore put down the cup and said in a very solemn tone: "I have thought about your last proposal for a long time, and now I have decided to give it a try."

"Oh. ? Really?”

Bernard’s eyes instantly lit up, his face full of surprise.

“Yes.

Because I realized that you are right, mages do need a lot of money to engage in magic learning and research.

Especially when purchasing those rare and precious spell-casting materials, thousands of gold coins are not even enough.

To be honest, I never thought that studying magic would be such an expensive thing. ”

When he said these words, Dumbledore’s tone was full of helplessness and self-deprecation.

He originally thought that with the free books in the big library, he would be able to use his own The magic level was easy to learn and master.

But the cruel reality hit him hard in the face.

Because the magic in this world cannot be released by learning a spell and waving a wand, but requires going deep into the ubiquitous magic network and extracting energy from it to shape a complex spell model.

The difficulty of casting spells is simply many orders of magnitude higher than that of a wizard.

Dumbledore can guarantee that among the students at Hogwarts who are mischievous and do not listen carefully, nine and a half out of ten will be brutally eliminated during the apprenticeship period.

And this elimination means death!

He himself witnessed a careless apprentice accidentally peeking at a powerful demon without taking good protection during an exploration of an alien plane.

As a result, the apprentice was instantly summoned by the devil in reverse and torn into pieces. The scene was so bloody and cruel that it was suffocating.

What is even more frightening is that the apprentice's soul has been captured by the devil, and it is estimated that it has now turned into the lowest level abyss larvae.

So if a mage wants to gain access to the deeper magic network, he must do various dangerous experiments to understand the magic network, control the magic network, and combine it with the magic power in his body one.

It is simply a daydream to achieve this goal purely by relying on the theoretical knowledge recorded in books.

This is why by summoning demons in the same way, the archmage can control the opponent and force him to work for him, while the apprentice is often killed directly by the summoned demon.

However, it was precisely this extremely high difficulty and danger of learning that made Dumbledore feel unprecedented excitement and challenges.

Compared to the earth's magical world, which is generally very comfortable, this is the place he longs for and pursues.

Just when Bernard wanted to say something to change the topic to cooperation, a portal suddenly opened in the living room.

The next second...

A lich exuding a biting chill suddenly appeared out of thin air.

He said without any nonsense, "Albus Dumbledore, Mr. Soth wants to meet with you. I wonder if you are free now."

"Meet me? He Where?”

Dumbledore’s attention was instantly attracted.

Because since he came to this world, he has always wanted to talk to Zuo Si face to face, but he has never found the opportunity.

To be precise, the latter never took the time to return to Faerûn.

The Lich replied without thinking: "Your Excellency Soth is in another universe right now. If you agree, I can take you there now."

Hearing this, Dumbledore immediately turned around He turned around and gave Bernard an apologetic expression: "I'm very sorry. I think our cooperation will have to be postponed for a while."

"It doesn't matter. Business is important, you'd better hurry up Don’t keep your majesty waiting too long before setting off.”

The businessman very wisely made a please feel free gesture.

He undoubtedly knew very well that he would never be able to participate in something like this, so he simply didn't even bother to ask.

Just like that, the Lich suddenly appeared and took Dumbledore to activate the interdimensional teleportation magic again, and instantly arrived at the ninth level of Baator Hell.

Because only here is the giant portal leading to the universe where the planet Azeroth is located.

"This...is this place?!!!"

Dumbledore was obviously coming to hell for the first time. He stared at the huge colorful cyberpunk city in the distance with wide eyes. There was also the endless demon army beside him, and the whole person was completely in a state of sluggishness.

Especially in many books, it is recorded that the terrifying pit demons can destroy a country by themselves. At this moment, there are actually too many to count.

"Don't be surprised. They are just a small part of the demon army controlled by Lord Soth. They are marching to the battlefield according to the order. Let's go, passing through this giant portal is another universe."

After that , the Lich took out a emblem representing his identity and handed it to the devil guard guarding the portal.

After seeing it, the latter immediately raised his hand to let him go.

Otherwise, anyone who dares to get close will be immediately and mercilessly attacked by them.

After all, there is another universe on the other side of the portal, and many forces want to send people there to investigate and see if they can get any benefits from it.

When passing through the shimmering blue light curtain, the first thing that comes into view is the terrifying battlefield that continues on Mount Hyjal.

Whether it was the deafening cry of killing, or the destructive power of destructive weapons and magic that wiped out thousands of lives in an instant, Dumbledore's spirit and soul were deeply shaken. Blast hard.

As a centenarian who has experienced two world wars, he once thought that it was the most cruel, bloody, and terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life.

But now he knows that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Compared with the horrific war in front of us that killed more than hundreds of thousands in a few minutes, the two world wars can only be regarded as the level of a nursery.

Especially those mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the number of which can definitely be measured in hundreds of millions as the basic unit.

But even so, both sides have no intention of giving in, and are still sending troops to consume each other.

No matter how many casualties there are, the gap will be filled in the next second.

"How is it? Isn't it shocking?"

The Lich was obviously very satisfied with the other party's reaction at the moment and asked meaningfully.

"Is this the ongoing war in Soth?"

Dumbledore only felt that his mouth was dry, his body was sweating uncontrollably, and his heartbeat was at least twice as fast as usual.

Because the picture the eyes saw was too shocking.

This is simply a thousand or ten thousand times more exaggerated than the hell described by many religions.

But the Lich smiled and shook his head: "No, the war I mentioned before is actually over. Now it can only be regarded as a trivial small conflict, which is far worse than before. ”

"A small conflict..."

Dumbledore gasped, suddenly realizing that his previous estimate of Zuo Si was too conservative.

But it is precisely because of this that I look forward to this meeting even more.

After all, he has too many questions and puzzles and wants to get an accurate answer.

The Lich did not stay on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal for too long, and quickly released a teleportation magic and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the snow-covered Storm Cliffs from the continent of Kalimdor.

From a distance, Dumbledore saw Zuo Si maintaining his human form, and the huge red dragon standing opposite him.

"Ah! Dear Headmaster, please wait a moment, I will soon reach an agreement with Queen Alexstrasza and the Red Dragon Legion led by her."

Zuo Si obviously noticed Dumbledore's arrival and took the initiative to say hello.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."

Dumbledore quickly waved his wand and blessed himself with a magic spell that could withstand cold wind and ultra-low temperatures.

After all, he was only wearing a thin robe, and in the cold wind of minus 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, he was basically no different from being naked.

Without magic protection, it would only take a few minutes to freeze to death due to hypothermia.

Alexstrasza was undoubtedly quite curious about Dumbledore's sudden appearance.

Because she simply couldn't understand why Zuo Si would call such a weak human being the principal.

And his attitude was very polite and showed a bit of respect.
