Having solved two potential "hidden dangers" in one go, Zuo Si returned to the room to make a few more magic cards, and then began to plan tomorrow night's ceremony.
He knew very well that given the danger level on the west coast of Faerûn, if adequate preparations were not made for this journey, the entire caravan would probably suffer heavy losses before reaching the Xingxuan Mountains.
No bandit gang or monster tribe would easily let go of such a huge caravan, which might even attract a greedy and evil dragon.
If it weren't for the card system of Planeswalkers, with the current LV9 [Creator] and LV4 [Mage], Zuo Si would definitely not choose to take a gamble.
The reason is that the risk factor is too high and the success rate is too low.
But now that we have the minion card [Alena of Flame], as well as the "flesh" and "hard" [Large Stone Elemental] and the [Manticore] that can carry people flying, even if we encounter something that we can't deal with
Enemy, there is always no problem in escaping.
Coupled with those wands, even if he is attacked by a dragon, Zuo Si is sure to kill or repel it.
After all, living in the Floating City Tower for nearly two years has successfully and permanently changed his thinking pattern.
According to Asta, the Archmage of the Necromancer, if a mage feels that he cannot defeat the enemy in front of him, there must be something wrong with his thinking and strategy.
Because a truly prepared mage is omnipotent!
Although these words are suspected of being boastful and overly arrogant, they also reflect the power of magic and the many means available to spellcasters.
What Zuo Si has to do is to prepare as many emergency plans as possible before setting off to deal with emergencies that may be encountered on the long journey.
Including when the Kingdom of Tethyr is in a period of civil strife, you may encounter wars between lords;
Bandits you may encounter while crossing the Kalin Desert;
There are countless monsters and beasts near the Star Swirl Mountains and Broken Tooth Mountains.
In short, although this section of the road may look about the same distance from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep on the map, the risks faced are not at the same level at all.
And it is rare to see large-scale caravans along the way.
Most of them are small traders who operate within a certain range.
This is also the reason why big merchants from Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and Amn still prefer to take the sea route, even if they know that there are many pirates passing through the Nelanthal Islands.
However, Zuo Si didn't know that while he was busy working, another group of idle "Lao Yinbi" were gathering together, discussing how to make his journey more difficult and interesting.<

……
"Rakisk! Is your portal ready?"
[Tangled Talisman] Located in a secret lair deep underground, Lagon asked another "Lord of Talisman" who was also a lich.
The latter nodded without thinking: "Of course! After receiving your notice, I immediately went to the Kalin Desert to prepare two portals. But are you sure to get the "Book of the Dead" now?
Is it a good thing to leave it to him in this way?"
Lagun replied meaningfully: "Are you doubting my judgment?...
Although the "Book of the Dead" records a lot of powerful and dangerous necromancy magic knowledge.
But it's certainly not a big problem for a genius like him.
Quite the opposite!
We can cultivate his interest in necromancy magic through the "Book of the Dead".
Make it obsessed with creating those powerful undead creatures, and eventually become one of us."
"The Book of the Dead... sounds really nostalgic. It was only after I got this book that I got to where I am today. Maybe I should arrange for a few descendants to go to that ancient tomb.
, adding some fun to this adventure treasure hunt."
Another woman, who looked pale but extremely beautiful, stuck out her tongue and licked her seductive red lips, while revealing two sharp fangs in her mouth.
You don't need to ask to know that, like the lich, she is another powerful undead creature - a vampire.
"I don't think there is a problem. But dear Xeleisha, you have to understand that participating in this kind of game is not just about placing a few descendants or monsters, but also providing corresponding prizes. I don't know what you are doing for this young man named Soth.
What have you prepared?" Another lich, "Lord of Talisman," asked in a playful tone.
The female vampire known as Xie Leisha slowly took out a long sword exuding an evil aura from her pocket and left it on the table: "I think this vampire long sword should be enough. What do you think,
Dear Shangla?"
"Let me take a look. 2 magic swords. Each time the target hits the target, it absorbs the life force of the holder. It is immune to immobilization, charm, paralysis and negative energy damage. The strength attribute increases by two points. Well! It is indeed enough. In that case
, then you send two descendants into the tomb."
The lich named Shangla picked up the weapon, appraised it, and immediately made corresponding arrangements.
With a wave of his hand, in the ancient tomb model on the table filled with various mechanisms, traps and monsters, two vampires suddenly appeared in a certain room.
As Xeleisha joined, all the talisman masters present began to discuss how to adjust, delete or add monsters and treasures to make this tomb adventure more challenging. p>
Just as they were arguing, a giant dragon figure suddenly teleported over out of thin air and threw a leather glove with a blue light on the stone table.
Snap!
Instantly!
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
As the leader of [Entangled Talisman], Lagon was the first to step forward and pick up the gloves, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is it ready so quickly?"
"That's right! According to your request, I sealed the injured old blue dragon in this glove through the most terrifying magic ritual.
On the surface, it can bring many powerful and convenient abilities to the wearer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But it is actually a cursed item, and every time it is used, it must contend with the old dragon's strong will to survive.
If it fails, the wearer will permanently lose his health.
Until his physical condition became worse and worse, and he finally had to turn himself into a lich to extend his life.
Of course, if you are lucky enough to be able to win in the resistance of this will, then the wearer will take away the old dragon's life force, magic and everything he has little by little...
Moreover, I have hidden the part about the curse, which cannot be discovered by any detection magic or identification magic.
How about it, it perfectly meets your requirements, doesn’t it?”
Sapuhurakta bluntly stated the true function of these gloves.
Moreover, in this meeting attended only by the "Lord of Talisman", he no longer concealed his identity, and openly showed his true face as "dracolich".
It was a huge undead creature composed of the remains of a giant dragon. A red light flashed in its two eye sockets, and the negative energy accumulated in its abdomen was enough to kill all living creatures in the entire town in an instant.
"Perfect! This is exactly what I wanted."
Lagun nodded with satisfaction.
"Tomorrow I will ask my men to give this gift to Soth in person to express his gratitude for creating the [Blue Dragon Nemesis] for us. I just don't know whether he will take everything from this old dragon in the end or be defeated by the old dragon.
Drain was forced to transform himself into a lich."
Shangela agreed deeply: "It is precisely because of this uncertainty that the game will become more real and interesting. Let us wait and see whether we will become the controller of our own destiny or be played by cruel fate.
."
"For young Soth! To celebrate that we have found another candidate who has the potential to become the master of the talisman! For the future of [Entangled Talisman]! I suggest holding a small event to celebrate."
"Oh? What kind of activity?"
"Isn't the guild war in Calimport about to begin? How about we make it more lively."
"Sounds like a good idea."
"I think we can raid the Harper Alliance stronghold in the dock area."
"We should simply uproot the influence of the Harpers and the Zhentarim in Calimport. Their recent frequent activities make me tired."
……
In the heated discussion among the "Lords of Talisman", a terrible plan was born that could plunge the entire Calim Port into turmoil.
Since each of them is an extremely powerful undead creature and a legendary spellcaster, they don't care about the life or death of ordinary people at all.
He even regards every living person in Calimshan, from the emperor to the slaves, as a chess piece that can be manipulated and played with at will.
This is also what [Entangled Talisman] has been doing for hundreds of years.
They use a huge intelligence network to control almost half of Calimshan's power, deliberately letting the other half lose control, and then enjoy this kind of game in a complex environment.
Sometimes they also encourage those paladins, adventurers, and temples of kind gods to fight against the nobles, wealthy merchants, and thieves guilds they control.
For those who perform well, the "Lords of Symbols" will also provide corresponding rewards.
Because these "little guys" who know nothing about the truth add a little fun to their long and almost eternal lives.
Of course, if anyone really discovers or touches the real secret of [Entanglement Talisman].
Then the "Lords of Talisman" will immediately change into another face, gather their strength and destroy it mercilessly.
In the continent of Faerûn, there are not many people or organizations that can withstand the joint attacks of several legendary spellcasters. ..
