Chapter 413: A world has been ruined (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
As a large family with a history of hundreds of years, "Salem Quante" undoubtedly has quite a lot of family members.
However, in order to prevent the internal power and wealth from being diluted as the population increases, and eventually splitting like many ancient families, they have been continuing a very ruthless traditional system.
That is, except for the current head of the family, other people, including brothers, sisters and their children, are absolutely not allowed to take away any of the family's existing property.
You can only serve as an upper-level manager of some businesses or land, manor, or castle, and receive corresponding dividends and remuneration by being responsible for operating these industries.
In addition, direct members with inheritance rights can also receive an annuity every year since birth, which is considered to be quite considerable by ordinary people.
This money will be accumulated from birth until the child reaches adulthood (twenty years old).
The person who gets the money can make a choice.
The first is to use the money to leave the family and start a business.
You will no longer be allowed to use your family name, and you will not be able to receive support from any family resources. If you fail, you will not be allowed to come back even if you starve to death.
But the advantage is that if the business is successful, everything you get belongs to you, and you can even create a new family based on it.
The second is to use the money to start a business with the support of the family.
Not only can you get help from the family's various channels, connections, and a large number of relatives and friends, but you can also retain the noble surname "Salem Quante" that is full of legends in Amn.
But the price is that the industry you create can only be controlled while you are alive. Once the person dies, all the industry will be taken back to the family.
As for their children, they can only receive an annual support payment from them, nothing more.
In the next generation, people will not even receive alimony, and they can only serve as high-level servants such as housekeepers, managers, personal maids, and bodyguards who are direct descendants of the current head of the family.
So the fight for the throne of the head of the family among those who have the right to inherit the family in Salem has always been very fierce, and they use every possible means.
It can even be described as cruel and bloody.
The current head of the family, Selzer, used some unknown method to make the two brothers at the front of the line of succession and a younger brother who threatened his status all inexplicably "unable to do so" during a hunting activity. "Be careful" if you fall off the cliff, you won't even be able to find the body.
His father, the previous head of the family, also died of "excessive grief" soon after this incident happened.
For such an obvious murder, under normal circumstances, the paladins and judicial agencies of the Knights of the Burning Heart should immediately intervene in the investigation.
But the problem is that the power of the Salem Quante family is too huge, and they always firmly occupy a seat in the six-person council.
They are legislators and rule makers, and they also have the final authority to interpret all justice.
In addition, Selzer did have excellent political skills, and he suppressed the whole matter easily.
Members of his family insisted that all this was an accident and there was no conspiracy.
As a result, without any actual evidence, even the paladins with the strongest sense of justice could only hold their noses and admit it.
No way!
Who made the law serve politics from the beginning?
As for judicial independence, just treat it as a joke.
If you really want to use this as a weapon to challenge the ruling class, you may die without even leaving your ashes.
Because this fight for power was so beautiful that the entire family regarded it as a successful experience and learned from it.
Selzer himself is quite proud of himself and occasionally teaches his children, grandchildren and granddaughters some skills in this area.
What he never expected was that his laissez-faire and even encouraging attitude directly led to unimaginable catastrophic consequences.
Vera!
The boldest, craziest and ambitious female member of the younger generation of the Salem Quant family actually dared to collude with outsiders to launch an unprecedented bloody massacre.
After counting the heads hanging on the saddle, Selzer realized that except for the granddaughter in front of him, none of his other descendants were spared.
This means that, whether he agrees or not, Vera will automatically become the sole heir of the Salem Quant family.
"Congratulations, you have finally achieved your wish and become the sole heir of the family. No one can threaten your status."
Xia En VII smiled at this crazy woman Give him an appreciative look.
“This is all thanks to your help, the great and generous His Majesty Shane VII.
Without the help of your mages and undead, I would not be able to control so many knights, warriors and private soldiers within the family by myself.
If we really want to take action, we can only find a way to kill them all by poisoning or something like that.
And that would greatly weaken the power of the Salem Quante family and cause me to lose my seat on the six-person council. It would not be as relaxed and happy as it is now. ”
Vera got off her horse and walked straight to Shane VII. She knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of the latter’s hand and the magic ring on her finger affectionately, expressing her respect and respect. Obey.
Through this cooperation, she has clearly realized that her family, which seems to be powerful, wealthy, and even able to dominate Amn, is, at best, useless to a truly powerful person like the Undead Emperor. He's just a slightly stronger ant, not worth mentioning at all
The reason why similar things have not happened before is because of the protection of Watkin, the goddess of wealth, and her church.
This is also the basis for the existence and continuation of most of the ruling families of Ascaltra.
But since the Goddess of Wealth was imprisoned in the Bottomless Abyss during the Year of Turbulence and lost contact, many families began to try to contact other gods and churches, hoping to gain protection from each other by changing their beliefs.
The Salem Quante family is one of them.
This is why, after Woking returned, the entire gold coin capital immediately held a grand celebration.
Because many families who secretly change their beliefs are eager to use this method to please the goddess and make her ignore and forget her previous betrayal and accept them again.
If it were in the past, the goddess of wealth might turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.
After all, she was the one who got away with it because she was too smart to do it, and she couldn’t blame anyone else.
But now that there are two spoilers, Xia En VII and Zuo Si, Waking obviously has a better choice.
As for the Masked Mage Guild, although according to the ancient magic contract, the Salem Quant family has strong control over it.
But everyone in Faerun knows that mages are the most selfish group.
It is simply a pipe dream to make them loyal to a certain person or a certain family for a long time.
So it is simply too much to expect these guys to stand up and fight the enemy at critical moments.
It was precisely because Vera saw through the nature of her grandfather and the family that the outsiders were strong but the middle was the weakest, that she dared to decisively choose to take action to seize everything that should belong to her.
Looking at the decisive woman kneeling in front of him, Xia En VII reached out his hand and gently touched the former's delicate face covered with blood spots, and said with slight emotion: "You are really good, you have become The potential of a qualified king.
If you were my descendant, I would also consider making you the queen and the heir to the Shan Empire.
Because as the supreme ruler, you can be ruthless, cruel, and extravagant, but you cannot be weak.
Especially when seizing and protecting power, you must abandon all unnecessary emotions and tell everyone in the fastest and bloodiest way what the consequences will be if you are your enemy.
In the face of power, all family ties, friendships and love must stand aside.
Only in this way can one be qualified to sit on the throne made of blood and bones. ”
"You are really flattering me.
In fact, the reason why I made up my mind was that I was forced into a blind corner.
My dear grandfather wanted to marry me to Tumis to obtain I want the support of a very powerful local family in order to establish a foothold and expand trade there.
If the plan succeeds, then I will permanently lose the surname Salem Quant (women have to change it when they get married). Husband's surname), and he also has the right to inherit.
Since he doesn't give me a chance to choose, don't blame me for not giving him a chance to choose.
Anyway, killing each other is the tradition of the Salem Quant family. I just did it more thoroughly. "
While saying these words, Vera raised her head and stared at Selzer's already bloodshot and red eyes without avoiding it, with a strong provocation in her tone.
"Asshole! ! ! You damn beast! ! They are your parents, brothers, sisters and blood relatives! How could you do it! "
Selzer, whose endurance had reached its limit, roared like crazy. He didn't know whether it was because of anger, excitement or sadness. In short, he was shaking and twitching.
Especially It was the heads with expressions of fear and despair that kept stimulating the most sensitive nerve in his heart like a nightmare.
But Vera sneered and said sarcastically: "You know, dear grandfather, your current reaction and tone of accusing me are simply disgusting, as if you are so innocent and clean.
Have you forgotten , how did you become the head of the family?
Have you forgotten how to teach and encourage us to fight with each other?
So this situation today is all by your own hands? The seeds are planted, then take root, sprout, and eventually bear fruit.
After all, there is only one position for the head of the family!
You can't expect us to be fiercely competitive and still have the camaraderie of a normal family. "
When Xia En VII heard these words, he couldn't help laughing immediately: "Hahahaha! Well said!
Soth once mentioned to me that unless there is an arbiter who has absolute power and power and can guarantee fairness.
Otherwise, all so-called fair competition will eventually turn into vicious competition, and one party may even be unable to resist overturning the table.
Obviously, your grandfather doesn't understand this and thinks he can always control everything.
Little did he know that from the moment he came to power through murder, he had already set a bad example for his descendants.
Okay, that’s enough chatting.
Tell me, have you found that ancient magic contract? ”
“Of course! His Majesty the Great Shane VII. Here, this is the contract I found in the family treasury. There is a strong magical binding on it, and only my grandfather knows how to change the name of the holder. "
Speaking, Vera carefully took out a yellowed and black parchment scroll from a box.
This thing obviously looks quite ancient. It doesn't look like something that was made in the past few hundred years. Instead, it looks like an antique dug out of a certain tomb or underground ruins.
Some carvings that have been worn beyond recognition can still be seen on the long metal poles.
Xia En VII took it and glanced at it twice, and immediately asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Where did your family get this scroll?"
"It Is there anything special?" Vera asked in an uncertain tone.
It is not difficult to see from the puzzled eyes that she does not know where she got this contract scroll that can control the Masked Mage Guild, and what its specific use is.
"More than just being special, using this to restrain a second-rate spellcasting organization like the Masked Mage Guild is simply a huge waste. In addition, do you know the nature of all powerful binding contracts in this world?"
Xia En VII's tone contained strong regret, and the expression on his face was like a top chef who was full of resentment when he saw someone wasting rare and precious ingredients with inferior cooking methods.
Vera pondered for a moment and quickly replied: "Is it the endorsement of some powerful existence or force?"
Xia En VII nodded slightly: "Although it is not entirely correct, it is probably The direction is right.
To put it simply, the essence of a magic contract is to use a strong threat to ensure that both parties do not dare to violate it easily, otherwise they will pay a heavy price.
Although some special magic and rituals can also achieve similar effects.
But the problem is that magic can be dispelled in many ways, so it is not safe. At best, it can only be used against ordinary people who do not understand magic at all.
All contracts that truly bind those individuals who possess knowledge and great power are usually signed under the witness of law-inclined gods or other divine powers.
If one of the parties violates it, the witness will punish it.
The most typical and well-known among them is the devil's contract.
It is precisely because there is the support of powerful hell forces behind him, and Asmodeus has signed corresponding agreements with the gods and many planes, that the devils can make their contracts widely applicable to the entire universe.
Even when many people think of a contract, the first thing they think of is the devil.
But what most people don’t know is that the oldest order force and contract in the universe was not born in hell, but in the mechanical realm.
As the most powerful and oldest existence in the entire plane, the Lord of Modrons and the God of Clockwork - Singularity, will launch expeditions every once in a while, and the most successful one almost destroyed He killed Chust, the slaad lord who spread chaos, and ensured that other planes of order would not be eroded by chaos.
And this contract scroll was signed by him personally.
Anyone who tries to violate it will face punishment from the ultimate order and law of the machine realm.
So now you see what a waste it is to use it to control the Masked Mage Guild? ”
In an instant!
Everyone present who has some knowledge of planes involuntarily took a breath.
Although Singularity is not like other divine creatures , such as the Demon Lord, the Devil Duke and the ancient evil beings are equally famous, and they do not pursue any mortal belief and worship.
But there is no doubt about his power.
And this guy represents the will of the mechanical realm and cannot be truly killed.
Before Orcus, one of the Three Giants of the Abyss, died and was resurrected, he used the [Doomsday Mantra] that he had not lost to successfully kill the Singularity of the previous generation.
But in less than a minute, the next generation of Singularity completed its promotion with the help of the will of the machine realm.
This means that those who violate the terms of the contract may be directly hunted by the endless army from the Machinery Realm.
Let alone a mere masked mage guild.
If the gods did not intervene, all the countries and regions in the entire Faerûn continent united might not be able to stop a team of mechanical constructs sent by Singularity.
Because the number of this team is likely to be calculated in millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
"Then...how to change the content of this contract?" Vera asked cautiously.
"It's very simple. Next, we may have to do something cruel to your grandfather to make him understand that only by completely giving up unrealistic fantasies, struggle and resistance can he gain relief early. Otherwise, I will Let him understand what life is truly worse than death.”
As he spoke, the face of Xia En VII showed the unique gloominess of undead creatures, as well as the coldness of not treating people as human beings.
The next second...
He raised his hand wrapped in negative energy and pressed it on Selzer's face.
In an instant!
The latter's body and even soul felt unprecedented pain under the erosion of negative energy, and at the same time, his throat emitted a blood-curdling wail uncontrollably.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Even Vera, who had massacred her entire family, could not help but tremble after hearing that voice.
How many ways does a legendary necromancer with a spellcasting level as high as LV36 use to torture people?
In the following time, these people present were "lucky" to see it with their own eyes.
Xia En VII did not even torture the opponent's body, but chose to start directly from the soul.
It didn't take long for Selzer to completely collapse and voluntarily hand over the ownership of the contract, just hoping to die quickly.
But unfortunately, Shane VII did not satisfy even such a humble request. Instead, he transformed him into a vampire under his control while retaining his original spellcasting level.
After he finished all this, he smiled and said to Vera who was lying at his feet: "I don’t think you need to teach me the next thing. You should know how to do it, right?"
"Of course! I will blame all the massacre tonight on my grandfather, and publicize that he transformed himself into an undead, and is ambitious in trying to rule the Salem Quant family and the entire Amn permanently."
Vera had an unabashed smile on her face.
Because she understood that with this excuse, not only could she get rid of the blame, but she could also legitimately enter the six-person council and inherit the seat that belonged to the family.
Anyway, it is easy for Stone Hammer Selzer to transform into a vampire.
Xia En VII nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Remember, Soth will be your master from now on, and he will also be the master of the Salem Quante family. The whole meaning of your existence is for him. Service, do you understand?”
“Understood! From now on, Mr. Soth is my master, my faith, and the only light in my life. After entering the six-person council, I will gradually. Disintegrate the power of several other families and let them either decline or become loyal dogs to Lord Soth."
Vera gave a solemn guarantee.
She knows better than anyone that the political situation in Amn will soon change, and this change will be completed in a way that most ordinary people cannot detect.
As for the family knights, soldiers, mages, warlocks and servants behind them, there is no need to worry too much about leaking secrets. After all, every one of these guys was involved in tonight's massacre.
Not only were the accomplices stained with blood on their hands, but they also received generous loot.
In this way, a cruel and bloody power change was completed quietly.
When the news spread a few days later, the entire Askatra and even Amn were plunged into shock and panic.
The other five members of the six-person council immediately summoned the successor of the Salem Quante family and had a secret conversation that lasted three hours.
No one knows exactly what was discussed, but the result was that Vera joined the Council of Six and became one of them.
The whole thing was quickly characterized as Selzer's evil conspiracy being exposed, and he became so angry that he launched a massacre against the rebels in the family.
Anyway, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and the Masked Mage Guild both stood up and proved that through prophecy magic, they had indeed detected the fact that Selzer himself had been transformed into an undead vampire.
Although the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart felt that there were too many doubts, they sent people to investigate in depth.
But soon they were besieged by Selzer himself and a large number of undead creatures and suffered heavy losses.
Finally, he escaped back to the city and reported the news to the grand leader.
After this operation, Selzer was completely blamed.
The Salem Quante family, which was massacred and almost exterminated, has also become the object of people's sympathy.
After all, in Vera's description, her parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces were all killed because they disagreed with her grandfather's evil plan to enslave the people of Amn.
So it creates a tragic atmosphere invisibly.
Although some people have doubts about this, they dare not accuse a group of dead people without evidence to support it.
Just when Askatra was making a fuss about this incident, far away in the floating city in another world, Zuo Si was demonstrating the power of Shuoyou to the top scientists he dug from the earth. Incredible abilities.
In just a few minutes, the black liquid completely infected a corpse that had just come off the assembly line.
Not only was most of its body completely metalized, but its heart was also replaced by a huge and powerful engine. The complex transmission system connecting flesh, blood and machinery amazed these elites in various industries.
A robotics and bionics expert couldn't help but jump up and shout "unscientific".
Not only that!
There is also an infected airship, which has directly transformed from a means of transportation that requires manual operation to an intelligent aircraft that can fly autonomously.
The original electric motor changed into the shape of sparkling oil in a very short time, and the energy storage crystal as the power source was also transformed into a defensive weapon that can release lightning attacks.
The layer of muscles wrapped inside the airbag has a good buffering and defense effect, and can last for a while even if it is suddenly attacked violently.
In short, in front of Shuoyou, the modern science and technology on earth that built the future through the industrial revolution seemed to have become meaningless overnight.
Because these experts can create things that are still in the conceptual stage, Shimmer Oil can easily and perfectly copy them, and often make them better than the originals.
What Keshuo Oil can do, such as giving soulless creatures consciousness and thinking ability to make them completely intelligent, they simply cannot do.
“Damn! This thing has destroyed my faith in science.”
McCus, a Ph.D. in physics, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
David, the mechanical engineer next to him, sighed with a wry smile: "Not only has my faith been destroyed, I feel that I am a completely worthless waste now.
It seems that for those magic Mechanical research and reverse engineering can also be stopped.
With Shimmer Oil, we can easily produce unimaginable powerful weapons in large quantities.
As long as we have enough resources, we can even use them directly. Aircraft fill the sky, allowing giant metal beasts to run wildly across the earth. ”
"Yeah! This thing is so foul and outrageous. Damn it! I really don't know if the research in the department has any meaning now."
A person wearing a Heavy Machinery Research Institute sign The engineer showed a very painful and desperate expression.
It felt like I was ambitious and wanted to do something great, but suddenly I was doused with ice water from head to toe.
Looking at the wailing reactions of this group of experts, Zuo Si couldn't help coughing hard, and then said with a smile: "Why, as human elites, you are just like this with a small amount of oil" Defeated?
Is your original intention to join science to create destructive weapons, or to come up with some shocking inventions?
No!
The real goal of scientific research is to explore the truth of the universe, so that we can better understand the world and understand the principles behind the phenomena.
What's more, do you think Shuoyou is really omnipotent?
Big mistake!
Although Shuoyou has strong infection and transformation abilities, it has a big flaw, that is, it has no creativity and can only simply copy, imitate, and piece together.
This means that if you want it to learn to make things like airplanes, cannons, tanks, and spaceships, you first need to have a basic sample.
So I can tell you clearly that shimmering oil is just a tool that can help us solve the difficulties we encounter in materials, structures, power systems, etc.
It can never replace your rational thinking and creativity.
The most important thing is that shimmering oil only represents a possibility, and it does not mean that we will go dark on this route in the future.
On the contrary!
I want to maintain the diversity within civilization as much as possible and constantly try to explore various possibilities.
Now, I hand over to you No. 5 Glowing Oil, which will not actively infect but has the strongest learning ability. I hope you can make good use of it and not rely too much on it. ”
As these words blurted out, the scientists on the field who were still frustrated and complaining one second fell into terrible silence the next second.
About three to five seconds later, they suddenly A burst of thunderous applause broke out.
Dr. White, standing nearby, shouted excitedly with his eyes shining: "Your Excellency, what you said is really good.
Our research should not be limited to applied science, but should also invest more manpower and material resources in basic and theoretical science.
Only in this way can science and magic be better combined to create a unique and highly developed civilization.
Shuo Oil is indeed a perfect tool, thank you for your generosity in giving it to us.
I think it won’t be long before some great works will continue to appear in the floating city. ”
“I hope so. I need to pick up a few large airships when I leave later. Is there enough inventory in the floating field now? "Zuo Si asked straightforwardly.
"I think the problem shouldn't be big. There are always a large number of airships parked on the floating island, and they are now our most important means of transportation."
Dr. White did not think twice. gave a positive answer.
Although he is not responsible for this area, he can see countless airships coming in and out every day, and even set up a special transportation department to be responsible for dispatching.
This shows that the number of airships in the floating city has reached a considerable scale.
"That's good. Here, this is a sample of No. 5 Shuo Oil. Please put it into the culture tank later. As long as you put in enough material and energy, it will continue to multiply on its own. , become more.”
After that, Zuo Si handed the other party a piece of black sparkling oil in a special container, and walked towards the second floor of the central tower without looking back.
After a while, he saw Vanessa who was busy.
This legendary lich is obviously a little overwhelmed by the players. There are hundreds of various applications and messy proposals submitted on the table.
Thankfully, undead creatures do not feel tired and do not need to sleep or rest. Otherwise, ordinary people would probably die suddenly from exhaustion.
When she saw Zuo Si walking in from the door, Vanessa immediately held her forehead and complained: "Goddess of Magic! Thank God! Mr. Soth, you finally showed up. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. What to do?”
"Huh? Did any uncontrollable accident happen?" Zuo Si asked with some confusion.
“Uncontrollable unexpected circumstances?
No, no, no, you underestimate the destructive power of these players.
In fact, they have already put that The world is completely ruined.
I don’t know how to describe it. You’d better take a look for yourself.”
After that, Vanessa raised her hand and projected a picture directly onto the wall through the connection between the airship and the magic crystal tower.
In an instant!
A picture that stunned Zuo Si appeared in front of him.
On a flat and empty grassland, dozens of phalanxes on both sides were advancing continuously according to the command of the drums. The pace was so uniform that it even gave people the illusion that they were practicing.
But in fact, they are not only fighting, but the casualty rate is frighteningly high.
What was originally supposed to be a fight between people wearing armor and holding crossbows, swords, spears and other cold weapons has now completely evolved into a modern scene of queuing up to be shot.
The officers, who were obviously played by players, shouted orders and slogans at the top of their lungs, instructing the indigenous soldiers to squat down and fire immediately after entering the shooting range.
With a burst of gunfire and a large cloud of white smoke, dozens or even hundreds of people's chests were splashed with scarlet blood and they fell to the ground, screaming in pain and weakness. .
But no one paid attention to these cannon fodder that were destined to be hopeless.
All the living soldiers were wiping the remaining gunpowder residue in the barrel at an extremely fast speed, and then quickly reloading, continuing this brutal killing of either you or me.
Behind the phalanx, a row of bronze cannons lined up, firing volleys at the cavalry coming from both sides.
An unlucky noble knight and his mount were torn apart instantly when they were hit by a solid cannonball.
There is no doubt that this is definitely not what A Song of Ice and Fire World War should be like.
As Vanessa said, the world is completely ruined.
"What the hell is this? He...where did they get the flintlocks, gunpowder and cannons?" Zuo Si asked with the corner of his mouth twitching violently.
You know, it hasn't been long since he left last time!
Why does it seem that hundreds of years have passed, and the form of warfare has evolved directly from the Middle Ages to the Napoleonic Wars?
Vanessa explained with a wry smile: "Ever since players discovered that in this world, the power of chemistry, especially gunpowder, is not limited, some of them have begun to try to make some thermal weapons. .
At first they were just inferior incendiary bombs and grenades.
But soon as a large number of people with technical skills joined, the weapons were quickly upgraded
In just over a week, some teams had hundreds of matchlocks and flintlock muskets.
Especially Jack and Wu Sheng’s team also purchased machine tools from the research department at a high price.
Immediately at the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, a firearms force of 3,000 men was built, and they easily captured several strong noble castles.
Other players immediately imitated the situation.
As a result, firearms spread rapidly in the world, and even the dukes had to hold their noses to pay high commissions to players, and even promised titles and territories.
Otherwise, once they lose the support of players, they will quickly be defeated by their enemies.
As for gunpowder, players have discovered several saltpeter mines, so the ammunition is basically sufficient.
Oh, by the way, Lord Stannis was accidentally killed by a stray bullet a week ago because he wanted to forcibly confiscate the firearms from players.
Currently leading his forces and retainers is his daughter Celine Baratheon. "
"Is it really a stray bullet, rather than the players colluding with each other and asking each other to help solve this unscrupulous camp leader? ”
Zuo Si obviously didn't have much hope for the moral integrity of his players.
They can do things like killing camp leaders without any psychological burden.
Especially those camp leaders who want to take food from themselves without giving any benefits.
"Well - maybe they had a private deal, but I really didn't have the heart to care about such inconsequential matters at that time.
Anyway, after Stannis died, his daughter Celine Baratheon falls into the hands of the players
Not only did those guys dress up the little guy beautifully and cutely every day, but they also launched a counterattack in her name, defeating the coalition forces of the Baratheon family and the Tyrell family under Renly.
However, according to my observation, this should be because the players who have taken refuge in the latter want to weaken its troops and power first, and then stand up to turn the tide when the situation is critical, so as to gain its trust and reuse.
In short, players have completely regarded the continent of Westeros as their own playground, harvesting lives and wealth unscrupulously.
Prince Joffrey, who had just ascended the throne, just cursed Nex of the Shadow Guild, and was castrated that night.
The queen was furious and vowed to make the Shadow Guild pay the price.
As a result, before it got dark, she was kidnapped out of the Red Keep and thrown into a dark basement, where she was ravaged by dozens of dirty homeless people day and night.
When he was rescued, he was not even conscious.
Since then, Cersei has seemed to be suffering from a serious mental illness, locking herself in her room every day and not daring to come out..."
When it comes to the countless horrific behaviors of players, Vanessa, who has seen many big scenes and is a lich from the evil camp herself, couldn't help but shake her head
It's too insidious!
Too scary!
Too cruel!
He simply couldn't believe that a group of souls who were just ordinary people in another world, after assuming the identity of players, actually felt as desperate as a natural disaster.
If this is the case as a bystander, let alone the nobles and civilians of Westeros.
Especially after the war broke out, the players' power continued to grow like a snowball.
Each small team has recruited at least hundreds to thousands of indigenous soldiers, and it has become a cancer that cannot be eliminated.
The great nobles must rely on them to fight against the enemy. Not only must they give money, food, land, and titles to them, they must do their best to win them over, but they must also always bear the backlash caused by the other party's sudden rebellion.
As for the minor nobles...
Sorry, the minor nobles have been continuously consumed in the increasingly intense war after friendly negotiations between the players.
Their castles, lands, wives and daughters have long become trophies for players.
It can be said that if the war continues, the lower foundation of the feudal system in Westeros may be completely destroyed.
You must know that the proportion of deaths in the era of queuing and shooting is not comparable to that in the era of cold weapons.
If you look at the war records in European history, you will know that it was common for generals, nobles and even kings to die on the battlefield at that time.
And this scene is now being staged again on the land of the Seven Kingdoms.
But the princes and nobles were not prepared at all, let alone what the loud roaring firearms on the battlefield meant.
Compared with the Westeros continent, the civil war in the Free Trade City-states across the strait is not much better.
It's just that the land battle of lining up to shoot has turned into a naval gunfire in the raging sea.
Players working for different city-states relied on the technology and magic power at hand to build battleships in the age of sail.
The pirates from the Iron Islands originally planned to take advantage of the situation and rob them.
As a result, after seeing the sailing battleship with three decks of guns that was firing and shaking the earth, I immediately wanted to turn around and go home to find my mother.
But how could the players give up the experience points that came to their door and directly join forces to strangle him in the sea.
There was also a small group that took advantage of the situation and entered the Iron Islands, allowing this group of iron people who were accustomed to only robbing others to taste the feeling of being robbed.
Nearly all the villages and ports along the coast were looted.
Anyone who dares to resist during this process will be executed.
The only good thing is that the Slaver's Bay area, which was completely occupied by players, has finally entered the production and construction mode from the previous plunder mode.
Through the guidance of issuing tasks, they began to build a simple administrative organization to direct the slaves who did not know what to do without their masters to farm, mine, weave, and fish.
The originally turbulent society has slowly calmed down...
