A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

Eat, sleep, read, study...

In the next few days, Zuo Si stayed in the room of the "Happy Time" hotel, living a life of never leaving or stepping out.

Except for the next day, when he took the time to take Hallet to meet with his cronies, and then the two sides discussed the issue of ransom face to face, he never moved again.

After all, Zuo Si was originally a very "homey" person who could tolerate loneliness.

Even when he was in the tower of the floating city, he could go a whole month or two without talking or communicating with anyone except the Archmage of the Necromancer, Asta.

Compared to those extremely boring social interactions and intrigues between apprentices, he is more willing to invest his precious time and energy in learning and researching profound magical knowledge.

Because the continuous acquisition of this knowledge that can be transformed into wealth and power at any time makes it feel inexplicably addictive and satisfying.

In particular, the unique arcane spellcasting system and magic network of Faerûn that I am currently learning can almost perfectly make up for my current shortcomings and deficiencies.

Coupled with the wide variety of spells in the arcane spellcasting system, it is far more interesting than the previous creator profession that could only study magic rituals and make magic items, rare objects and potions.

In addition, you can also use the massive knowledge collected in the floating city tower for comparison and reference.

And through continuous in-depth study, Zuo Si discovered that the difference between the two worlds' magic systems was much smaller than he imagined.

Although the structure of many spells with the same or similar names will be slightly different due to the environment in which they are cast, their principles and essence are almost the same.

He can completely combine the research results of another magical civilization on the basis of [Mage], delete the known advanced professions, and create a brand new arcane spellcasting profession that is more suitable for him.

Just like the arcane advanced professions such as Red Robe Mage, Super Spellcaster, Arcane Follower, Archmage, etc.

"Hmm... How about I use [Mimicry] to get a LV5 mage first. Otherwise, I will just study theory all day without even any practical experience." Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered in a low voice.

With the photographic memory ability of the [Thinking Library], he has already memorized all the magic books he bought in his mind.

If we simulate it now, the maximum limit for the mage profession should be LV10 or LV11, which will be enough for a long time to come.

But the problem is that performing mimicry means having one more mana-hungry player.

He originally planned to upgrade the planeswalker profession to LV4 first, and then find an opportunity to complete the task of making the first creature card.

"Oh, it's troublesome. There's always not enough mana. I really want to [refine] all the magic items, scrolls, wands and potions in my bag that I can't use at the moment."

Zuo Si's heart started to get ready to "squander the family" again.

After all, there are only so many stable sources of mana at the moment. If you give more points to this profession, you will have to give less points to other professions.

In addition to extracting energy from various magic items, the only way to obtain more at once is by killing various monsters and bandits.

Just as he was hesitating as he stared at the value of his mana pool, a rapid knock on the door suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

boom! boom! boom!

"Sir, are you in the room? I am Pike, the waiter in the lobby on the first floor. There is a woman who claims to be your friend and wants to meet you."

A rather familiar voice came through the crack in the door.

Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered that a few days ago, he sold the crystal energy storage device to a sorceress who was suspected to have efreet blood. He immediately put away the "legacy" and signaled to the soldiers guarding the door to open the door.

The latter took the initiative and stood up from the chair, pulled the latch and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

moment!

Two figures appeared at the door.

One of them is naturally the male (anti-harmony) waiter who knocked on the door just now, and the other is the female shopkeeper with a veil and black cross-shaped eyes.

However, the latter was different from the pride and arrogance she showed when they last met. She now looked very manic, and it was obvious that she had not slept well for a while.

The moment she saw Zuo Si, the woman threw a gold coin to the waiter, then walked straight into the room unceremoniously, completely ignoring Pike who was bowing to thank him, and slammed the door.

She even ignored the soldiers beside her, raised the energy storage device in her hand, and asked through gritted teeth: "How did you do that?"

"How did you do that?"

Zuo Si blinked, confused by this inexplicable question.

“How to make its performance so stable!

do you know?

In the past few days, I have failed more than sixty times in a row, and I have never succeeded.

At least two-thirds of the materials you used here have never been seen before.

But this doesn’t bother me!

Because I quickly found some alternatives that worked just as well.

But only stability!

This is the key point that cannot be broken through no matter what! "

When she said these words, the woman didn't have any of her previous grace, and she looked like a crazy madman.

Especially when he gets excited, he directly pulls off his veil, revealing a delicate face that is particularly exotic even in Calimport.

As Zuo Si guessed, this female warlock should be the descendant of humans and efreeti.

However, considering that almost one-twentieth of the humans in the entire Calimshan region may have thin efreet blood flowing in their bodies.

It is not unacceptable that some warlocks who have awakened the power of their bloodline will appear to have returned to their ancestors.

What's more, people here are generally more accepting of non-human races.

In this regard, just look at the popularity of domesticated orcs, orcs, kobolds, goblins, gnolls, as well as ogres and troll slaves in the slave market.

"So...you admit that you failed to crack it, right?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

moment!

The woman closed her mouth and fell into silence.

Yes, she failed.

He paid a heavy price for his arrogance.

In order to create an equally stable energy storage device, more than 100,000 gold coins of materials and gems were invested, all of which were wasted.

The one that came closest to success so far barely maintained stability for less than ten seconds.

Then it exploded with a bang, releasing all the lightning energy stored inside, destroying everything around it without restraint.

If it hadn't been blessed with magic to protect against energy damage in advance, people would have been seriously injured or even killed.

After a long silence, the woman quickly took a deep breath and said, "Make a price! I need a complete set of technologies for manufacturing this kind of energy storage device!"

But Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, madam, I think you made a mistake.

In fact, there is no way that this kind of energy storage device could be built by anyone other than me.

Just like the stability mentioned just now, do you think that the entire cylindrical crystal is achieved through some transformation magic?

It was made through my unique ability, like this..."

While talking, Zuo Si grabbed two empty potion bottles placed on the table and activated his [Shaping] ability.

Two potion bottles that were originally completely independent seemed to have melted under the influence of some mysterious force, slowly merging together, and then being reshaped into a statue of an adventurer holding a shield and a sword.

No spell!

No gestures!

No casting materials are used!

The woman was completely stunned by this ability to change material form, and took the glass statue and looked at it repeatedly.

After several minutes, she realized that the entire statue was one piece, with no trace of splicing or stitching at all.

It's as if this glass statue was fired from the beginning.

And even the bubbles contained in the two potion bottles disappeared...
