A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

Zuo Si knew nothing about the fact that he had been targeted by Faerun's famous evil organization [Tangled Talisman].

When he returned to the hotel, the first thing he did was to take out the soldier card that had been reborn from the [Graveyard], intending to use the remaining mana in the mana pool to upgrade it.

After last night's attack, he found that with a soldier level of LV5, he might be able to deal with ruffians and miscellaneous soldiers.

But compared with those higher-level warriors, thieves, assassins, and killers, it is still a little too weak.

It must be strengthened.

However, after injecting mana worth ten times the summoning cost, Zuo Si suddenly discovered that two completely different upgrade routes emerged on the upper and lower sides of the card.

Among them, the upward upgrades are the equipment, level and combat skills of the summoned soldiers.

What upgrades downward is the number of soldiers.

In other words, originally only one soldier could be summoned, but after upgrading, it would become two to three, and then it would become four to six, and so on.

The former takes the elite route.

When you upgrade to the end, you may become the kind of powerful warrior who can rush into the crowd and unleash unparalleled power.

The latter takes the quantitative route.

After upgrading to the end, you might be able to summon an army with just one card.

"Eh? There are branches!"

Zuo Si seemed to have discovered a new world, with an expression of surprise on his face.

If it were an ordinary person, I would probably have difficulty choosing at this time.

After all, no matter which one is discarded, it will give people the feeling of "making a big loss".

But he just pondered for a moment and immediately chose the elite route.

And he still paid a full 50 mana points to upgrade it two levels in one breath.

[Creature Card: Human—Heavy Armored Soldier]

[LV3 white card (can be upgraded)]

[Card quality: ordinary]

[Effect: Summon an experienced soldier with LV9 warrior level and rich combat experience.

This soldier may be a melee unit wearing full body armor, a fully enclosed steel helmet, holding a +1 long sword and a +1 kite-shaped steel shield, and is proficient in skills such as military swordsmanship, shield attack, powerful attack, and charge;

It may also be an archer holding a +1 compound bow, wearing a half-cuirass, carrying a bag of 40 +1 arrows, and is proficient in precision, sniping, fast climbing and movement skills.

Whether it is a melee unit or a long-range unit, they can understand any language you speak and completely obey every order given until they are killed or the summons is actively cancelled]

[To use this card, you need to pay four points of white magic power, or four points of general magic power]

[When the summoned soldier is killed, the card will automatically enter the cemetery to wait for rebirth for three days]

It has to be said that after the upgrade, both the level and the equipment are completely different from before.

Without any hesitation, Zuo Si directly chose to pay four points to activate the card.

moment!

A warrior so heavily armed that only his two eyes were visible appeared out of thin air.

Without even a second's hesitation, he took off his helmet to reveal that familiar face, and said with a smile: "Master, I have become stronger."

"Welcome back!"

Zuo Si also showed a faint smile.

He could clearly observe that the soldiers' muscles hidden in the heavy armor were much more developed than before.

This also means that its strength attributes and physical attributes have been greatly improved.

Although there is already a [Shadow Servant] who can stay vigilant 24 hours a day - Yelnia, as well as a large number of shadows transformed by her.

But after seeing the returning soldiers, Zuo Si still felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Just when he was about to practice his spell-casting skills for a while, and then lie on the bed and close his eyes to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

boom! boom! boom!

Immediately afterwards, the werewolf girl's voice came through the crack in the door.

"Master! Are you asleep?"

"Is something wrong?"

Zuo Si asked subconsciously, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers to open the door.

In about two seconds, Fangers' figure appeared at the door of the room.

She first stared at the "resurrected" soldier with eyes filled with shock and disbelief. After a while, she came back to her senses and stammered: "Master...Master! There was someone walking around on the street just now. The tribesmen who were inquiring about the news accidentally overheard a quiet conversation between two businessmen.

At around nine o'clock this evening, a secret auction will be held on a ship docked at the dock.

There will be a lot of interesting stuff there.

These include all kinds of rare and rare slaves, funerary objects dug out from an ancient elf tomb, all kinds of strange animals, magical creatures, and their eggs and babies.

I thought you might be interested in this news. "

"Secret auction?" Zuo Si was slightly stunned.

In a "super city" like Calimport, where commerce is developed and smuggling businesses are flourishing, auctions are held almost every day.

It's just that some are "legal" and some are "illegal".

Of course, the terms "legal" and "illegal" do not refer to compliance with the law in the ordinary sense.

But a completely different meaning.

"Legal" refers to paying a "protection fee" to the thieves guild that controls the local area, which has nothing to do with normal taxes.

Only after obtaining the "legal" certificate can the auction be held normally.

Otherwise, the leader of the Thieves Guild will use a series of means such as theft, threats, kidnapping, and setting fire to the warehouse to force the organizer of the auction to surrender.

In serious cases, you may even lose your life.

As for "illegal", naturally it refers to those desperate people who are bold and do not want to pay protection fees.

Since the streets and alleys of Calimport are tightly controlled by the Thieves Guild, "illegal" auctions can only be held secretly on ships.

The customers are usually old customers, or wealthy people who have confirmed through testing in advance that the other party will not betray themselves.

In short, "illegal" secret auctions like this often bring out some exotic items that are not available on the market.

"Do you know the specific location of the auction and how to enter it?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

The werewolf girl shook her head slightly: "I don't know. But Ollis used his nose to remember the smell of the two people who talked about this matter. Just walk around the port pier twice and you will definitely find it!"

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Zuo Si thought for a while and made a decision quickly.

Whether it was for the magic pet he had always wanted, or to create a creature card to complete a task, he had to try his luck.

Otherwise, if you just rely on the pet market, you may not be able to find the magical creature you like when the day lilies are cold.

After all, there are quite a few mages and warlocks in Calimport, and they also have the same needs.

But there are only so many rare, precious and useful magical creatures, and there are simply not enough to grab them.

In this way, Zuo Si took enough money with him, the soldier and two little werewolves, and left the hotel in the dark, heading straight to the noisy dock.

Although it was completely dark now, there were still many coolies and slaves carrying heavy goods.

In pubs and hotels of all sizes, you can see at a glance that they are all sailors who are drunk or even unconscious.

Some guys who had exhausted their energy on the sea were doing sweaty and intense exercises with scantily clad women in an inconspicuous dark corner.

Fallen!

indulgence!

Catharsis!

It all adds up to a stunning picture.
