Sword and Magic and Taxi

What are you wearing around your neck? A Geth supervisor looked Zhao Mai up and down. This weird synthetic race is somewhere between humans, elves and reptiles. They are thin, slender, and have a big hunchback. The flesh-and-bone head is as slender as a locust, and the eyelidless vesicles are always secreting a sticky and smelly substance. Their working skills are not very good, but their eyesight and memory are very good, which makes them particularly disliked by slaves.

Pick it off for me, Zhao Mai waved his hand, drove away the flies around him, and said to the Geis man.

Gu Yanbu ignored him, walked around Zhao Mai, and then asked, Where is your slave mark?

I'm not a slave, nothing like that.

Pull him down and stamp him! He is now the slave of the Witch-King of Karak! the Geth roared, summoning a half-giant overseer.

A mixture of hill giant, troll, and human blood (why there are always humans, that's something to ponder), half-giants have a natural advantage in size. They are very powerful, hard-working, and quite loyal. They are necessary subordinates at home, at work, in fights, and to take the blame.

The half-giant held Zhao Mai down, raised a red-hot iron, and pressed it hard on his lower back. After the smell of burning flesh passed, a skull-like pattern appeared on the originally smooth skin.

Zhao Mai gritted his teeth, but the severe pain of burning skin was very unbearable. At the moment when he howled in pain, he realized what a great person Qiu Shaoyun was who died in the sea of ​​​​fire at the age of 26.

Fortunately, he is still alive and he still has a chance to take revenge on his own. The bulging eyes kept spraying sticky saliva, and said to Zhao Mai with a smile: Remember, work hard in the future, otherwise your thin skin and tender flesh will definitely be whipped into tatters soon!

Don't let me meet you alone, you bedbug! Zhao Mai gasped and said to the Geth man.

There were many slaves behind him. Gu Yanbu didn't care about the threat of a slave. He just waved his hand and asked the half-giant to take Zhao Mai away.

The living and living conditions of slaves were naturally extremely poor, and their daily work was extremely onerous. Zhao Mai and thirty other slaves were crowded into a six-square-meter room, and everyone could only take turns sleeping. However, this house is close but not close to the wall, so there is a narrow space outside the house where you can hide. The desert nights are very cold and living outside is a terrible torture. But here, Zhao Mai could avoid other people's sight and be with the grain reserves and Xiaohua, so he grabbed this position and gave up the space in the house to others.

Zhao Mai's job kept changing, including moving bricks, building walls, repairing scaffolding, and pulling a pulley crane, so he saw the purple first-floor platform inside and out. The entire temple tower will have seven floors, and the outside will be decorated with seven colors from low to high: purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red. Everyone thought that this temple was to celebrate the power of the Witch King, but its true purpose was deeply hidden.

The Witch King is already one of the most powerful forces in the world, but he has not yet reached his ultimate limit. After combining arcane magic and psychic powers, the Witch Kings developed a legendary magic that could take them one step further. This series of spells is called Dragon Transformation. The difficulty of this spell is above the ninth-level spell, and it has touched the edge of divine power. After one to ten levels of dragon transformation with varying degrees of difficulty, the Witch King can transform his body, spirit, soul and strength into the form of a dragon, thereby all rising to the level of a higher god and becoming the Dragon King.

Currently, there is already a Witch King in Atas who has become the Dragon King. The Thirteenth Witch-King Boris relied on this power to convince the other Witch-Kings to defeat their creator, the Prime Warlock Rajat, and banish him to the empty dark plane. The Dragon King used his own power to guard Rajat to prevent him from coming out, and at the same time tried to learn more advanced knowledge from him.

The Witch King Karak was not the lucky one to become the Dragon King, but like other Witch Kings, he also mastered the spell of dragon transformation. The entire process of transforming into a dragon is a long journey full of surprises. If you want to follow it step by step, collect casting materials, and prepare a safe casting environment, it will take at least hundreds of years of continuous energy. The casting time of the last dragon transformation spell alone is measured in years, not counting the subsequent process of transformation and transformation. Especially when casting spells, the Witch King has no energy to care about other things and will become relatively vulnerable. The other Witch Kings are also monitoring each other, waiting eagerly for their opponents to show flaws. Because once it is interfered with, the Dragon Transformation Technique will fail, all the resources invested by the Witch King will be consumed in vain, and the Witch King himself will also be affected and reduce his strength. Therefore, safe casting time has become the biggest obstacle to dragon transformation.

Karak did not want to take such a big risk, let alone wait for such a long time. He wanted to obtain the authority of the Dragon King earlier and catch up with the progress of the strong Boris.

After long-term magical research and technological exploration, he found a way to greatly shorten this process and condense the changes over the years into a gorgeous ceremony. This is a gorgeous celebration that requires the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives, so the Witch King of Karak will hold a grand gladiatorial competition and at the same time build a huge device to absorb life energy - the temple tower.

However, no one in Tire knew about the Witch King's plan, not even the Templars were kept in the dark. They removed large numbers of slaves from the iron mines, farms, and workshops, all of which were used to build the temple towers. Of course, these slaves will eventually be imprisoned under the arena. If there are not enough spectators that day, these slaves will also contribute their lives to the Witch King's great plan.

Zhao Mai looked at the foundation of the temple tower in front of him, knowing that there was an evil device hidden inside that would absorb life in the future. It is simply impossible to destroy it. A group of templar warriors and priests of the Witch King will check the quality and progress of the project every day. Zhao Mai and a group of people are in charge of an area. As long as there is a mistake in this area, everyone will be mercilessly killed. Not only can Zhao Mai not be able to destroy it himself, but he also has to watch other people not be able to destroy it, so he only has one option left: study.

In other worlds, the difference between arcane and druid force spells is vast, but in Athas it is somewhat blurry. Here, except for psychic powers, the source of all spells is actually the same, which is the vitality of the entire planet, that is, the natural force. The greatest contribution of the primordial warlock Rajat was to create the entire arcane system based on the force of nature.

Zhao Mai had no time to learn arcane magic. He only cared about how the tower absorbed life force, and how much did this have in common with the skills he learned from Wadsworth? It stands to reason that this temple tower ultimately failed to allow Karak to complete the dragon transformation spell - he was killed during the casting of the spell. But no one can guarantee that Zhao Mai will be on this historical line.

While he was working, he tried to enter a state of Force induction. It was originally impossible to enter meditation during activities, but on the first floor of the completed temple tower, this matter actually became possible. A weak but solid force of nature surrounded Zhao Mai, as if he had entered shallow meditation.

Hiding in the narrow gap between the house and the wall at night, Zhao Mai shared the food he had stolen from the food reserve. At the same time, with the help of Xiao Hua, he sorted out his own force and eliminated the negative effects on himself. In this huge city, you can finally stop eating raw food. Reserve Liang takes Xiaohua out every day, using his elusive skills to walk through the streets. Although these foods are stained with puppy saliva, they are still a hundred times more delicious than the meals in slave camps.

Zhao Mai used unprecedented concentration to seize every opportunity for cultivation. He knew that he could not waste any opportunity. Without the guarantee of strength, all his thoughts were just a mirror.
