The caravan stayed in Mylatma for four full days.
It wasn't until Bernard drained the city of all its wealth, and even made the nobles and chamber of commerce owe him a large debt, that he "reluctantly" moved towards the next destination.
If possible, he even hoped that every city he passed along the way would be besieged by the monster army and suffered heavy losses like this.
In this way, he can sell high and buy low, and then take advantage of the opportunity to borrow the interest earned from loan sharking.
It doesn't matter if the debtor's family can't pay back the money in the end.
Bernard can also make some additional requests by deferring or reducing part of the debt.
For example, the pricing power of certain commodities, exclusive operating rights, etc., thereby gradually controlling the trade of the city and its surrounding areas to form a monopoly.
For Amn merchants whose commerce is extremely developed and even tend to colonize overseas, these operations are like instincts engraved in their bones.
As long as there is an opportunity, he will rush forward desperately to grab benefits and wealth.
Of course, for Zuo Si, the more outstanding Bernard's business talent is, the more profitable this trip will be.
He is not a miser like Wilmes who can only see immediate benefits, nor will he stop businessmen from lending money to local nobles and chambers of commerce.
Quite the opposite!
Shifting from pure trade to finance is a more advanced and efficient way to obtain wealth.
This has been confirmed by many developed capitalist countries on earth.
Although it contains huge hidden dangers.
But Zuo Si doesn't care.
Anyway, even if there is a thunderstorm, it will be decades or even hundreds of years later.
By then, he will have already escaped the stage of primitive accumulation of power, and may be able to obtain wealth from several different worlds directly through the power of sparks.
The biggest difference between planeswalkers and ordinary spellcasters is that from the moment the spark is ignited, they can freely shuttle between different planes, crystal walls and universes.
You don’t even need to pay anything.
"Lord Soth, it will get dark soon. If nothing else happens, we will spend the night near the ruins of Fort Tassel tonight."
The mercenary captain rode over from the front of the caravan and told the itinerary through the window of the carriage.
Ever since he realized that Zuo Si had the power to kill an evil red dragon without any damage, the attitude of him and his mercenaries became more and more respectful.
Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, the team around Zuo Si is getting stronger.
Especially after leaving Mailatma, not only Wilmes, the humanoid dragon, joined the team, but Jahira and Khalid also joined the team.
In addition, there is a man wearing half a breastplate and carrying a [Strong Arm Bow] who is constantly patrolling the surroundings.
You don’t need to ask to know that this man is the long-range shooter among the LV3 human soldiers in the biological card.
Due to the previous completion of the two tasks of "making five biological cards" and "increasing the total number of cards held", Zuo Si got a new opportunity to draw cards.
One of them is the LV3 biological card soldier.
As for the original loyal melee soldier, due to absorbing dragon blood, his race changed from human to dragonborn, and his occupation also changed from warrior to knight.
Not only has the card level been upgraded from the original LV3 to LV4.
And after paying the mana, dragon blood, dragon scales and 1 flaming sword required for "job change", his image changed into a man wearing red dragon full body armor, holding 2 dragon scale shields and 2 flaming swords.
A sturdy man.
His height jumped to an astonishing two meters and three, and his two eyes also showed vertical pupils like wild beasts.
Although usually wearing a fully enclosed helmet makes it difficult to see the face, caravan members will immediately feel strong uneasiness and fear whenever they are stared at by those eyes.
"Got it."
Zuo Si, who was sitting in the carriage and carefully flipping through the "Book of the Dead," responded absently.
Ever since he got this book, which recorded countless profound necromancy magic and knowledge, he would calm down and study whenever he had free time.
Among them, the series of spells [Swollen Rot Sacs], as well as [Summon Undead] of levels one to five, or [Enhance Incorporeal Body], [Undead Lieutenant], all gave Zuo Si an eye-opening feeling.
The principle of the [Rotten Cyst Swelling] series of spells is very simple. It uses magical power to instantly implant the horrific cysts that often appear on undead creatures into the bodies of living creatures.
By manipulating cysts, they release terrible negative energy and various viruses and bacteria to cause continuous damage to the target.
The biggest feature of this series of spells is that they do not require a high casting level.
It only takes a few second to third level spell slots to successfully create quite terrifying effects.
[Undead Summoning] at levels one to five allows low-level mages to summon powerful undead creatures to assist them in battle.
The exclusive spell of the undead system can summon skeleton warriors from the first level;
The second level is upgraded to Bugbear Zombie;
The three-ring ogre zombie is a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change;
As for the four-ring pterosaur zombies, the five-ring mummies, and vampire spawns, no matter which one is a "big killer".
If you don't encounter a high-level priest or paladin, you can easily massacre a group of heavily armed soldiers just by summoning creatures.
Coupled with the inherent characteristics of undead creatures, and the ability to restore vitality in negative energy spells.
It can be said that [Undead Summoning] is at least one level stronger than the [Monster Summoning] series spells of the same level.
In comparison, although the three-ring magic [Enhance Incorporeal Body] is slightly inferior, it can also greatly strengthen undead creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits.
At this stage, the biggest use is naturally to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the shadow servant Yelnia.
And the last [Undead Lieutenant] is definitely one of the necessary spells for playing the "Sea of the Dead" tactic.
Its function is to select a relatively high-level undead creature and promote it to the commander of the entire undead army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At that time, the caster only needs to control this commander to complete the indirect control over the success or failure of thousands of undead creatures.
When it comes to using the spell [Undead Lieutenant], the red-robed mages of Serge's Necromancer faction are very experienced.
They will even gather skeletons and zombies together for agricultural production, so that their country will not only have endless food, but also sell large quantities to foreign countries to make money.
Of course, if you think about it from another angle, these tireless farming armies of the undead may not be a kind of "hiding troops among the people."
After all, they can be pulled onto the battlefield at any time and used as cannon fodder whenever necessary.
There is no doubt that the spells, magical rituals, and methods for awakening various advanced undead creatures recorded in the "Book of the Dead" all exude a strong evil tendency.
The casting materials of some of these spells are definitely enough to subvert the three concepts of normal people.
If you are obsessed with this for a long time, I am afraid that your mind and thinking will be irreversibly distorted before long, and you will eventually embark on a path of no return.
Fortunately!
As the level of planeswalkers continues to increase, Zuo Si now has more and more methods at his disposal, and he no longer relies entirely on necromancy magic.
When the caravan began to stop and camp, he closed the "Book of the Dead" and stepped out of the carriage to enjoy the beautiful scenery at dusk in the evening.
Especially the ruins of Tesselburg in the distance, which are already overgrown with weeds and vines.
Just when Zuo Si was about to get closer, Jaheira suddenly walked over from the dense grass: "I just went to investigate the ruins of Tassel Fort and found some unusual traces."
"Oh? Robber or monster?" Zuo Si asked with interest.
Since he has the two trump cards of Wilmes, the red dragon, and the steel golem, he no longer cares much about ordinary bandits and monster tribes.
Because no matter how many of these guys come, they will only be slaughtered mercilessly and will not make any waves at all.
