Chapter 522 It was doomed from the beginning(3/4)

From the moment he became Zuo Si's apprentice, he gained the resources and strong backing that every mage in the world dreams of.

Although in the eyes of others, legendary demilichs like Kangas are completely invincible and terrifying existences.

But for Sancho, it is just a trial, a test to re-understand his own shortcomings, even if he fails, it doesn't matter.

“Very good!

Seeing that his good apprentice had grown, Zuo Si immediately nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and turned his gaze to Kangas, who was being stared at by two lichs.

Kangas was also looking at him warily.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, the demilich took the lead in breaking the silence and asked: "Are you the mastermind behind all this? Who are you?"

"My name is Soth, the ruler of this city and all the surrounding lands, the emperor of the West Coast Empire.

Thank you very much for teaching my disciples the most important lesson in life.

Otherwise, I will still have a headache, how to teach this guy an unforgettable lesson when he embarks on the most important journey of life.

In return, I will generously allow you to become a new servant."

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si directly pulled out the strengthened Demon Moon Blade from his waist.

Instantly!

All the spellcasters present felt that the magic network in the surrounding environment was greatly strengthened, and the air was filled with inexhaustible energy.

But just a second later, they found that their connection with the magic network was completely severed, and they could no longer extract any energy from it.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si used this powerful artifact to directly cut off the Internet for everyone except himself.

Don't let it be said that Kangas was dumbfounded. He immediately lost his supernatural flying ability and fell to the ground with a thud.

Even Imoen, Sancho, Succubus Loli and the other two lichs all opened their mouths in disbelief.

Because in the magic education they received, there was only one person who had the ability to do this, and that was the incarnation of the Magic Network, the most powerful magic goddess on the planet Toril second only to the god Io.

"You...you are controlling the Magic Network?!"

After being silent for a long time, Kangas finally couldn't help but use his slightly trembling voice to question.

As a legendary mage and demi-lich, he is basically a useless snack after losing his connection with the magic network. He can't even use his ability to capture souls and inhale them into gems for digestion.

"It's just a small and insignificant part of the surroundings. There's no need to be so surprised. What's more, I'm a genuine voter. Isn't it normal to be given some special powers by the new goddess of magic?"

As he spoke, silver flames instantly spurted out from Zuo Si's palm, directly wrapping the entire sword, exuding a daunting aura.

There is no doubt that there is nothing more painful than for an arcane spellcaster to find that his opponent is the chosen one of the goddess of magic.

Because the silver fire is the power of the goddess of magic.

Just trying to break the protection formed by it is enough to give people a headache, not to mention the resistance and magic immunity after acquiring Silver Fire.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The most important thing is that you have no idea how the goddess of magic behind it will react after going to all the trouble to kill a chosen one.

Are you resurrecting it quietly and causing trouble for yourself?

Or will he permanently cut off his connection with the Demonic Network in anger?

At this moment, Kangas began to regret why he did not teleport away immediately after regaining his freedom, but instead wasted his time with this group of children with backstage after being full.

The result is now better. After cutting off the link with the Magic Network, I can no longer even run, or I have even lost my ability to move.

After all, the demilich's flying ability does not rely on its wings, but on the ubiquitous magical energy.

After being forcibly disconnected from the Internet, you can no longer draw magic energy, so you naturally lose your ability to fly.

The only thing he has not lost so far is the power to cast legendary magic.

Since legendary magic directly bypasses the magic network and draws the wildest primitive magic energy from the universe for processing, it will not be bound by the magic network on the planet Toril.

But the question is, under the premise that you are completely unable to move and cannot apply protective spells, casting a legendary spell in front of an enemy holding an artifact, what is the difference between this and committing suicide?

The time it takes just to chant a spell is enough to kill you several times.

After much deliberation, Kangas finally chose to give in.

I saw two red lights in his eyes flashing wildly for a few times, and then responded with a slightly unwilling tone: "I can become your servant, but there must be a period of time, whether it is hundreds or thousands of years.



"Hahahaha! What makes you have the illusion that I am actually discussing with you? See what this is?"

Zuo Si laughed and took out a magic belt inlaid with more than a dozen gems.

There is no doubt that this thing is the phylactery hidden by Kangas.

The reason why the Nisril mage led by two lichs did not kill him after defeating him, but chose to seal it, was because they did not find the other party's life box.

And not being able to find the phylactery means that the demilich cannot be truly destroyed. Once killed, it will not take long to resurrect.

He came up with this strategy as a last resort, transforming the two highest-ranking members of the organization into lichs, guarding the golden skeleton for generations to ensure that it would never see the light of day again.

"This is impossible! I obviously hid it..."

Seeing his phylactery fall into the hands of others, Kangas' tone revealed panic for the first time.

"It's hidden in a farmer's house, and it's also blessed with a lot of spells that can block the detection of prophecy magic, right?"

Zuo Si meaningfully said the second half of the sentence for the other party.

As these words blurted out, Kang Ge suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. The red light in his eyes became extremely weak. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why can you find it?"

Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Because someone told me a lot of information about you.

Through some documents in Candlekeep, I found the scope of your activities back then, as well as the secret stronghold hidden in the Snowflake Mountains.

In that stronghold, I read your experimental notes and other related records and found two interesting clues.

Finally, he used his authority as the emperor to let the army conduct house-to-house searches and interrogations in the designated area, and finally got your phylactery without much trouble.

Guess how much I spent to buy it and your life from the descendants of the original farmer?"

"How much?"

The demi-lich asked subconsciously.

"Two thousand five hundred gold coins.

For only 2,500 gold coins, he sold the most important thing of the great demi-lich Kangas who had caused the terrible tragedy.

Is it full of irony?

After all, you promised that as long as you take good care of it, you will give that family endless wealth.

But unfortunately, you have been imprisoned for so long that the couple has been dead for who knows how many years.

Their descendants have forgotten even what the belt hidden in the wall is."

Zuo Si did not beat around the bush or whet his appetite, but gave the answer straightforwardly.

No matter what he does, he must always be well prepared. This is a good habit he has developed over the years.

Before arranging the task for Sancho, Zuo Si had already begun to search for information about the demi-lich and successfully obtained the other party's hidden phylactery.

Therefore, the outcome of this game is doomed from the beginning, and there will never be even the slightest fluctuation.

"So... all of this is a trial you arranged for that brat? And I'm just a tool for this trial?"

Kangas gave Sancho a vicious look.

Because this is definitely a naked and unabashed insult to him.

As a man who had frightened countless people and caused countless massacres, he had never suffered such grievances. He was simply played around like a puppet on strings.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right.

Don't feel wronged, because Sancho is not an ordinary boy.

His future is most likely to inherit the Blood Throne and become the new God of Murder.

Oh, I almost forgot, you have been sealed for so many years, and you still don’t know what happened in Faerun recently, right?

In fact, in the turbulent year not long ago, the god Io appeared, knocked down the other gods to the mortal world, and walked like a saint.

During this period, many gods fell, including Baal, the god of murder.

But he foresaw his own death, so he left countless heirs in the mortal world.

Now countless sons of Baal are killing each other, competing for the rich inheritance left by their father.

Sancho is the most special one among the many sons of Baal.

Having said all that, let me see the quality of the ring you spent so much time and effort on making."

After that, Zuo Si walked straight to the demilich and took out a ring that exuded a strong evil aura from inside his golden skull near his chin.

The main body of the ring is completely pieced together from broken bones stained red with blood, and the gaps between the bones on the surface of the ring can be clearly seen.

And after so many years, the blood stained on the bones is still bright, unlike normal blood that will turn black and hard over time.

In addition, a blood-red gemstone is inlaid on the front of the ring, which is cut into nine sides through a unique cutting technique. Each side exudes powerful magical power endowed by death and sacrifice.
