Chapter 460 You are such a good person (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
“The essence of power is violence.
But smart rulers should not use it as a conventional weapon unscrupulously Use.
But to use people's fear of it to establish law, rules and order.
Through subtle influence, let the ruled accept it and regard it as a kind of rule. Normality.
Kalingshan has maintained slavery for thousands of years, and Cyre, who is completely controlled by the red mage, are very good examples.
Smarter rulers can also use public opinion and propaganda to confuse right and wrong and distort people's perceptions, making them subjectively believe that the current dictatorship is the best and most perfect.
This not only allows vested interest groups to support the tyrant's rule, but also allows those groups who are exploited and oppressed to also support it, even with a degree of fanaticism that far exceeds the former.
Of course, there is a premise for all this, which is to significantly improve the living standards of civilians.
At least let them live a better life than any other country around them, enjoy both material and spiritual satisfaction, and the entire country must maintain a strong enough military power.
As a result, during the comparison process, ordinary people will inevitably develop a sense of superiority, happiness, and contempt for surrounding relatively backward countries and regions.
At that time, as long as we make good use of this public psychology, we can easily control their thoughts and behaviors.
My dear friend, true tyrants and tyranny never rely solely on spreading violence, death and fear to force others to obey.
You have to give pride, honor, and confidence to the people under your rule, so that they feel that they are living in a great country and have a wise monarch who is always right.
Dealing with the economically and politically dominant oligarchs of Ascatra is only the first step.
The most critical thing next is how to integrate the regions of Calimshan, Tethyr, Amn and West Heartland.
After the integration of the southern region is completed, I will officially march to the north, using the trade alliance as a link to force those independent towns and noble lords to surrender in the face of huge interests.
I believe that after experiencing unprecedented economic prosperity and a wealthy and convenient life, no one will want to return to the poor and primitive state before.
I will use actual actions to prove to you that the real contest is never limited to the military aspect.
In many cases, compared to the threat of force, economic means can often be more concealed and greatly reduce the resistance of ordinary people.
They even deliberately guide and intensify the contradiction between the civilians and the ruling class in the target area, making them believe that the deterioration of their quality of life is caused by the greed and stupidity of the latter.
Eventually, I can get the Angry People to stand up and overthrow the existing rulers without a single blow, and then voluntarily become part of the Empire through a collective vote. ”
Zuo Si did not hide anything and explained his ideas and plans openly.
However, these words were not entirely meant for Fu Zuoer Qianberry; Behind the scenes is Bane, the god of tyranny who is planning to make major changes
Because he needs the other church to expand on his own territory and even become a symbol of the legitimacy of his rule to check the chaos and chaos. The forces of the good camp
Especially the Northland, which is fragmented and has never been unified by any individual or force, is often threatened by monsters, pirates, extreme druid sects, evil organizations and Luskan during the reign of the Arcane Brotherhood. There was a period of intense xenophobia and a general spirit of rebellion.
They stubbornly believe that all external forces have the ultimate goal of enslaving themselves, so they tend to be particularly vigilant about any expansion and annexation.
This is also why there has never been a country in this region in modern times. At most, it is a loose rule with city-states as the center and radiating outwards.
It’s not that no one has thought about unification, but those who do so are either quickly defeated by the army assembled by the Lords Alliance, or are destroyed by the Harper Alliance, and can only continue to maintain the status quo.
In fact, if you look at the history of the west coast of Faerûn, you will know that this land is divided into two parts with Baldur's Gate as the dividing line.
Among them, the southern region was split from the Sharn Empire, so it inherited the culture and ideas of the former, and gradually formed three national-level regimes: Amn, Tethyr, and Kalimshan.
The areas around Baldur's Gate and West Heartland, although they seem to be fragmented now, formed two unified countries in history.
Therefore, local residents do not reject reunification, and even look forward to the day when a "strong man will descend from heaven" and establish a strong kingdom again.
But the north is different, this is a very special place.
To complete the integration of this vast area, the first thing to do is to change people's backward and ignorant thinking.
The best way to change minds in Faerûn is to use religion and gods.
In this regard, Zuo Si has a complete plan.
He first built a trade alliance through the power of the goddess of wealth, Woking, and first allowed the residents of the North to form a de facto economic dependence.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
When ordinary people’s lives begin to become affluent, they will naturally no longer be willing to live in the previous days of poverty and fear.
Zuo Si can take advantage of this to force those independent towns to hand over their diplomatic, financial, administrative and military powers bit by bit, and let professional bureaucrats sent by the Trade Federation take over, ultimately completing a one-stop process of seizing power.
The second step is to let the Bann Church take root in various towns.
While promoting the various benefits that being a subject of a powerful empire can bring;
While making a comparison, the chaos, division, killing and death in the North for hundreds or even thousands of years , all attributed to the two organizations, the Lords Alliance and the Harper Alliance, making the civilians begin to dislike and even hate them.
After all, Zuo Sike has many successful cases and experiences to learn from when it comes to inciting opposition, intensifying social conflicts, and wielding the stick of economic sanctions.
He believed that with the intelligence and knowledge of the northern lords, he was afraid that the opponent would have collapsed before even a third of this set of combos was used.
Fuzor Chambery nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I think I understand what you mean.
Don't worry, the great Bane appreciates your ambition. and means, I will also allocate manpower to speed up the penetration of the Northland to ensure that your expansion can receive sufficient support.
But I think before that, we should clearly divide our powers and spheres of influence. .
What do you think?”
"I have no objection."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
In the next few minutes, the two began to "fully exchange views" on the leadership of the church.
Obviously, from the perspective of Fuzor Chambery, he definitely wants to continue to hold the position of the top leader of the sect and become the master of all Bane temples and church organizations on the entire west coast as a voter. .
But how could Zuo Si allow an ambitious outsider to have such a strong influence on his own territory.
After a final exchange of words, they finally reached an agreement that both sides could barely accept.
The content is to divide the west coast into several regions.
The churches in the towns near the Northland were personally appointed by Fuzoul Qianberry, but the south of the Wan Ting River must be controlled by Zuo Si himself from now on.
In other words, the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, in Faerûn has once again split from the original two sects into three sects.
The part led by Aigason Naserre has been mixed with the Dragon Worship Cult of Sammaster. Its main purpose is to find tyrants and support them to gain power, create disputes, and establish orders. A tyrannical rule that people fear;
This section led by Fuzor Chamberry is more inclined to integrate politics and religion, and becomes a tyrant by himself. With Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim as the core, it continues to expand to the surrounding areas until it establishes a ruthless and cruel dark empire.
As for the last one, naturally it will be the "moderate faction" led by Zuo Si in the future.
The idea is that tyrants and tyranny should not just stay on the surface, but should serve the rule and be closely integrated with the rule itself, making people believe that centralization and dictatorship are the best systems. .
Judging from the current situation, Ben obviously feels that Zuo Si is taking the right path.
Because when tyranny and rule are combined, his influence and the number of believers in the country are bound to expand significantly.
After demarcating the sphere of influence, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Fuzor Chamberry's face, and he said straightforwardly: "After cooperating with you to complete this scene, I will immediately start to launch the Unification Moon after returning to Zhentil Castle.
I hope we can join forces again and attack from both sides, one from the south and the other from the north.
We can take over the former Elf Kingdom of Cormanthor and even the valley to bathe it. In the glory of Bane."
"Let's talk about it then.
Nowadays, Cormanthor has been infiltrated and controlled by the dark elves from the underdark. In other intelligent biological communities, the situation can be said to be very delicate.
There is also the huge and complicated magical mystery lock of Myth Drannor. It is not easy to occupy it.
What's more, the souls of Elminster, Storm Silverhand and Sheeren still live in the valley.
I don’t want to have a too fierce conflict with them. "
Zuo Si shook his head noncommittally, obviously not very optimistic about this plan.
Of course, if the tyrant of the Moon Sea insists on doing this, he will not stop it.
"That's such a pity."
Fuzuoer Chamberry clearly noticed that Zuo Si was completely uninterested in this proposal and decisively ended the topic.
Just when he raised the cursed javelin in his hand and planned to kill the golden dragon that had fallen from the sky and was seriously injured and was falling into shock and coma, Zuo Si suddenly interrupted: "Wait! You should Don’t you want to kill this dying golden dragon?”
“What, is there a problem?
She is too seriously injured. Unless the powerful curse near the wound is removed first, Use some high-level regeneration and healing magic, otherwise it will be impossible to revive him
A mere teenage golden dragon is not worth wasting the power given by the great Bane.
It is better to kill it directly, and then give the body to Mansong to make magic equipment or transform it into an undead creature. ”
When he said these words, Fu Zouer Chambery’s eyes flashed with coldness and cruelty.
Just like Elminster from the good camp in his life Just like he killed many evil color dragons in his life, he also killed many metal dragons in his long life.
Among them was someone like this who had just left the shelter of his parents and had no idea how high the sky was. The reckless young men Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon, who are full of passion for the cause of justice, have already killed more than double figures.
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head and responded: "It's such a waste for you to do this.
You must know that young dragons who are in the process of forming similar world views and values are at the age when they are most susceptible to external influence.< br>
Her soul is so clean, without a trace of impurity.
If it can be influenced to change its cognition, thoughts and consciousness, it can change from white, which symbolizes purity and kindness. into evil black.
The most important thing is, don’t you think it’s interesting to develop this proud golden dragon into its own shape?”
"So... you want to rescue and adopt this teenage golden dragon?"
Fuzuo Er Chambery raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Having always liked to use power to suppress others, he simply could not understand Zuo Si's way of thinking and the bad taste revealed from his bones.
"Why not? I am idle anyway."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders with a half-smile, walked closer and gently stroked the golden dragon's chin that had not yet grown a beard.
This is a sign that she is underage.
You must know that a real adult golden dragon, whether female or male, will have many tentacle-like things growing on its chin.
The older the age group, the more amazing the number, thickness and length of the beard will be, giving people a sense of erudition, wisdom and maturity.
There is no doubt that if calculated according to human age, the teenage golden dragon in front of him is only a teenage girl, and it will take at least several decades to grow something like a beard.
“Okay, whatever you want.
But I have to remind you that Golden Dragons are very social, and they will most likely send people to find and rescue their captured compatriots.
In addition, I also captured two other adult metal dragons. If you are interested, you can take them away together.
But the ugly words are ahead. If you cause trouble in the future, don’t come after me. ”
After that, Fuzuoer Chamberry ended the conversation and marched with his troops and prisoners toward the city a few kilometers away that no longer had any defenders.
< br>After Zhentil Fort's army disappeared from sight, Zuo Si walked up to the adult golden dragon and silver dragon who were tied into rice dumplings with chains and dying from excessive blood loss, and said in a slightly playful tone: "I'm very sorry. Since you saw things you shouldn't have seen and heard words you shouldn't have heard, I'm afraid I can't let you go freely. ”
"Is the invasion of Zhentil Castle your conspiracy?"
The male golden dragon asked angrily with his eyes wide open.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right! I was the one who provided Fu Zuoer Qianberry with food, weapons, armor, and the artifact scepter that can control others 100%."
"Why? Why are you doing this!"
The silver dragon also roared feebly.
"Naturally, it is to smash the original ruling structure, occupy and unify this land as the savior, and bring prosperity and stability to more people.
Have you not discovered it yet?
Almost every town that Fuzor Chambery occupied would clear out the original nobility and ruling class, but he never attacked the civilians
He did not even force labor or force as before. The scale reduced the prisoners of war to slaves
It just established Bane’s temple and maintained the status quo without making any changes.”
Zuo Si had obviously already thought about how to deal with the two captured metal dragons, so he gave a very frank explanation.
The male golden dragon suddenly understood and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it! It turns out that Fu Zouer Chamberry and the Zhentil Fort army led by him are just pawns being manipulated! You are the only one who He's the real mastermind behind this!"
"I seem to understand why the Harper Alliance people suddenly chose to withdraw! It turns out...it turns out they already knew the truth!" Silver Dragon's breathing became rapid! stand up.
“Yes, I have already talked to Elminster about this.
As for you, you are just a group of abandoned chess pieces.
If you don't participate in this war but hide, then maybe after the defeat at Baldur's Gate, I will contact you to launch a so-called counterattack, and end everything with a brilliant victory according to the script.
But the problem is that you made the wrong choice and participated in a war that you should not have participated in.
So I have no choice but to solve the hidden dangers first. ”
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si’s eyes flashed with a terrifying blue light.
You knew without asking that he planned to directly use psychic magic to tamper with the two giant dragons. memory.
"You want to kill us?"
The male golden dragon struggled to break open the chains on his body in a desperate struggle.
But he was too weak. Apart from causing the wound to bleed a lot, he was unable to have any impact on the strong chain.
As for the dragon's breath, due to the curse, neither fire nor weakening gas can be sprayed out now.
Looking at the other party's embarrassment, Zuo Si said meaningfully: "Calm down, I didn't say I wanted to kill you, I just made some permanent small modifications to your memory. Don't worry, This process is very fast, and it will pass with a little patience.”
"No!!!!!! Don't even think about it!"
Hearing the words "modify memory", the male golden dragon immediately became extremely violent and opened his mouth to bite the insidious and cunning human in front of him. .
But the next second...
He heard Zuo Si open his mouth and read out a name in an unhurried tone.
"Kozev!"
moment!
A little black and white puppy that was almost invisible lying in the grass suddenly jumped out and hit the former's head with a bang like a cannonball.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
In response to the sound, the male golden dragon jumped into the air and flew back several meters. It broke several trees as thick as a bowl in succession and spurted blood from its mouth, eyes and nose.
When he struggled to raise his head to figure out what happened, he suddenly found that the puppy that hit him was lying less than half a meter away, with extremely evil, deep and evil eyes flashing in his eyes. Crazy light.
Especially the saliva flowing from the mouth will immediately make a harsh hissing sound after dripping to the ground. Its terrifying acidic damage is enough to completely corrode and dissolve a large piece of stone in a few seconds.
And the low whine coming from the throat seems to contain some kind of terrible magic power, making even the adult dragon feel fear and despair from the bottom of his heart.
Combined with the name Zuo Si called out before, Jin Long finally understood something, and his whole body was shaking violently uncontrollably.
"This...is this ancient evil Chaos Dog Demon - Kozif? You can actually control it!"
"Haha, now you know the strength gap between us. How old are you? So stop struggling unnecessarily and let me get this done quickly so you can suffer less.”
With that said, Zuo Si jumped on top of Jin Long's head, pressed one of his fingers on his skull, and quickly pulled out silver threads symbolizing memory from inside, and then re-weaved these threads, and then Stuff it back.
The whole process lasted less than five minutes.
After everything was over, Jin Long was lying on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
He will undoubtedly need some time to sort out the tampered memories.
The silver dragon on the side witnessed the tragic situation of its companions. It was so frightened that it huddled up and did not dare to look into the terrifying eyes of the Chaos Demon Dog. It endured the severe pain and allowed the other party to weave and tamper with itself. memory.
About ten minutes or so, when the two metal dragons finished sorting out their memories and woke up, they had completely forgotten the little unpleasantness they had experienced before, and regarded Zuo Si as their savior and closest friend. He even offered to hand over the seriously injured golden dragon girl who was in shock to the latter to take care of and raise her.
As for themselves, they quickly flew away from the battlefield to find their companions to join and report the situation.
You don’t need to ask to know that Zuo Si plans to use two metal dragons to penetrate the opponent’s interior to ensure that no matter what the opponent’s movements are, he will get the news as soon as possible.
In addition, he also wants to obtain some metal dragon eggs, obtain more dragon genetic genes, and contribute to the creation of new dragon species.
This is also the reason why there was no choice to make it a summoning creature card.
Once it becomes a summoned creature, it will be tightly bound to the spark of the planeswalker. The advantage is that it can gain the power of immortality, but the disadvantage is that it no longer has the ability to reproduce offspring.
Watching the golden dragon and silver dragon disappear into the night sky, Zuo Si came to the golden dragon girl who was only half-breathed, and cast [Restoration Technique], [Medical Technique], and [Regeneration Technique] in one breath Wait for several restoration and healing magic spells.
Because the vitality of giant dragons is much higher than that of other creatures, ordinary healing spells often require two to three times the number to cure them who are seriously injured and dying.
Like low-level treatment of minor injuries, when used on humanoids, the wound can often be healed and heavy bleeding stopped.
But if it were used on a giant dragon, let alone stop the bleeding, it would even be difficult to make the wound slightly smaller.
Perhaps because of this, many dragons were still alive after being severely injured in the battle, and they also had low-level priest allies around them, but they still couldn't escape death in the end.
But today the golden dragon girl is undoubtedly lucky.
She met Zuo Si, a legendary priest with powerful healing powers.
Accompanied by the dazzling white light, he was out of danger in just a few minutes.
The wings that were torn after the violent impact, the broken neck, limbs, tail and spine were all reattached one by one, and the damaged internal organs were quickly repaired under the influence of positive and natural energy.
Of course, this is unfortunate to some extent.
Because falling into Zuo Si's hands doesn't mean it will be much better than a clean death.
After a slight groan, the young golden dragon finally slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
She stood up and moved her body in disbelief, then turned her eyes to Zuo Si, who was very close at hand, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Human, was it you who saved me? ”
"Well, yes. I saw you lying here very injured, almost dead."
Zuo Si replied in the affirmative without thinking.
“Thank you, thank you so much.
Although I don’t know how to describe the feeling of escaping from death.
But I swear, when I have a nest and a After collecting the treasure, I will definitely repay you for saving my life
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Gorsania. ”
The young Jinlong obviously felt a little embarrassed because he could not pay the reward immediately.
No way!
Who made her just leave the shelter of her parents and go out alone to make a career? Where are the teenagers?
Normally, it would be difficult for an evil color dragon, a kind metal dragon, or a neutral gem dragon to accumulate any wealth at this age.
Most of them cannot even build and defend their own nests, and are still in a state of adventuring and wandering.
The reason why she appears on the battlefield is, on the one hand, her natural support for justice and good causes, and on the other hand, she is employed by the Red Shield Chamber of Commerce, the ruler of Sknubel.
Because the kind-hearted metal dragon is not like the five-color evil dragon who can steal, rob, cheat, extort, and extort at will, there are only three ways to get the first pot of gold after leaving your parents.
The first method is the simplest, just sell blood directly.
Because dragon blood contains powerful magical power and is an important material for many potions, props, scrolls, magic items and weapons and equipment, it is always in short supply.
But most arrogant dragons regard this selling of blood as a shame.
Only those guys who are lazy and don't care about reputation at all, and just choose to lie down on the spot will do this.
The second is to transform into a human form to join a certain team, and gain income and various valuable magic items through adventure.
In the process, they can also learn some fighting and spellcasting skills.
Many metal dragons will have professional levels, which are obtained during this period.
As for the last one, you know without asking that you must accept employment and become a "worker dragon".
Some blacksmith shops that forge high-quality products and magic equipment often require high-temperature dragon breath to smelt and forge metals and ores in order to obtain better alloys. Both gold dragons and red dragons are perfectly qualified for this job.
In addition, such as protecting caravans transporting valuables, accepting employment from a certain regional government to fight against the invasion of evil forces, are all jobs that good-aligned metal dragons like.
Because even young dragons have advantages that humans and other intelligent creatures cannot match, namely the ability to fly and breathe.
This gives them an overwhelming advantage when dealing with large numbers of enemies.
Employers are also willing to offer high prices and rely on dragons as much as possible to scare potential enemies and reduce their own losses.
It’s just that the golden dragon girl in front of her obviously doesn’t know that there are some people in this world who cannot be easily provoked even by powerful dragons.
Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and leaned forward slightly: "Nice to meet you, Gorsania. But there is no need to repay you. Because you still have a small problem that has not been solved."
< br>“What’s the problem?”
The golden dragon girl quickly checked her body and blinked in confusion.
“Due to some unknown curse, you are unable to fly now.”
A hint of cunning that was not easily noticed flashed in Zuo Si’s pupils.
You don’t need to ask to know that he deliberately left it unresolved.
“What?!”
Garsania was stunned for a moment, then quickly flapped her wings and ran, trying to fly.
As a result, just after his limbs left the ground, the next second he fell headfirst into the mud with a loud bang.
But one failure did not make her give up.
The young golden dragon then tried again and again for more than a dozen times, until he fell to the point where he was dizzy and could not get up. Then he lay on the ground dejectedly and cried bitterly: "Woooooooo—— It's over!
My life is completely over!
A flightless golden dragon?
How sad!
I will become the laughing stock of the entire tribe!
Those evil chromatic dragons will also laugh at me fiercely!
Oh my God!
If I had known this would be the result, it would be better to just let me die! "
Seeing this "child weighing several hundred kilograms" crying so sadly, Zuo Si immediately comforted him: "Don't be so desperate.
Whether this curse is permanent is unknown.
Maybe after a while it will start to subside on its own.
And I will also try to do some research to help you find a way to resolve it.
If you don't mind, you can live with me for a while. "
"You mean...my flying ability can still be saved? ! "
Gersanya suddenly stopped crying and leaned her huge head over. Her two tearful eyes actually looked a bit cute, but the snot spurting out of her nostrils was a bit disgusting.
“Of course! I will do my best to get you back to normal as soon as possible. ”
Zuo Si gave the guarantee without hesitation.
Hearing these words, Garsania raised her front paws to wipe away her tears and snot, followed by chanting a spell to release the [Transformation] three times a day, and quickly transformed from a slender and elegant teenage golden dragon into a handsome young man. The girl who looked like an elf girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with long golden hair smiled through tears and gave Zuo Si an excited hug.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! You are such a good person! Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life!"
"A good person? Haha... You are the first one to be like this Call me."
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, showing a slightly sarcastic and self-deprecating smile, looking like a weirdo who abducted an underage girl.
Unfortunately, Gersanya could not see his expression at this moment, but continued to ask: "I almost forgot, you haven't told me your name yet."
"You can call me Soth."
Zuo Si bluntly stated his name in this world.
"Soth? Hmm - I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Gelsanya let go of her arms and began to look up and down at the young human standing in front of her. , frowned and began to think hard.
Obviously, because she had just left the protection of her parents and entered the human world, she knew very little about the outside world.
Zuo Si reminded softly: "I am the chosen one of the goddess of magic and the goddess of poison and disease. I am somewhat famous on the west coast of Faerun." Exclaimed: "Ah! I remembered!
You, Shane VII and the Three Saints Alliance cooperated in the southern Carlin shirt and abolished the slavery system that had lasted for thousands of years on that land.
Many golden dragons, including my parents, appreciated this and considered it a great leap for justice
And the Nelanthel Islands and Road were under your rule. Skan is also kind to civilians, and even disabled people can get enough food to satisfy their hunger
Many golden dragons like to go there and feel the prosperous atmosphere. "
"I didn't expect that I am quite famous among the golden dragons. ”
Zuo Si couldn’t help but joke.
Although he knew that the Golden Dragon was almost the only social dragon among the Dragon Clan and had established a relatively loose parliamentary system, But I didn't expect that the other party was already observing me.
After all, these guys often change into various humanoid forms when they enter the city.
Unless they reveal their identity themselves, it is basically difficult to detect.
“More than just being famous!
A small group of younger Golden Dragons even think that you can bring more positive changes to the world and plan to have in-depth cooperation with you.
However, their plan was blocked by the elders
The elders believed that it was too early to make a judgment and more observation and waiting were needed. ”
Garsania was obviously an innocent girl with no scheming intentions. She told everything she knew without any concealment.
Through her, Zuo Si got a lot of information, intelligence and secrets about the inside of the Golden Dragon clan.
I also learned that the kind camp Metal Dragon, who had been silent for a long time, did not notice his existence, but was hiding in the dark for long-term observation.
Perhaps in Luskan, the Neransir Islands and the current Amn Empire, there are some humans, elves or half-elves transformed from golden or silver dragons, and some may still be alive. Became a member of the bureaucracy.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si planned to ask his lich to take the time to investigate secretly after returning.
Especially those guys who are keen on fishing and law enforcement, there is a high probability that they are pretending to be Jinlong.
......
At the same time, in Ser, far away under the rule of the red-robed wizard, several faction chiefs were gathering together, looking at each other with solemn expressions.
After several minutes, one of them could not help but break the silence and asked directly: "Are you sure that the information was not wrong? Sazastan has obtained a piece of equipment that can turn mortals into gods. Treasure?”
“I don’t know! This information was spread from the Zhentarim. It’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not.”
Another chief kept twiddling his ten fingers and replied.
It can be seen that his heart is not calm at all at the moment, it can even be said to be nervous and uneasy.
"Don't worry! I have sent someone to confirm! News should come back soon."
Aznar, Sazastan's main enemy within the red robe mage L'Sruel tried to calm the mood of his allies.
Unfortunately, the news was so explosive that even the red-robed chief who had seen many storms could not keep calm.
After all, that is the temptation to become an immortal god!
Even Sazastan himself and Velsalun became a little crazy because of this, let alone them.
Just when the secret room fell into silence again, a high-level Tour de France instructor suddenly appeared out of thin air and whispered a few words in Aznar Srul's ear.
The next second...
He stood up suddenly and asked in a shocked tone: "Are you sure?"
The Tour de France instructor hurriedly nodded in response: "I'm very sure!
Not long ago, Sazastan and the troops he mobilized returned to their base.
And according to our arrangements, he was placed beside him The spy reported that the two artifacts [Death Moon Orb] and [Sakosil's Seat] have been handed over to Soth as bargaining chips.
So there is no mistake!
< br>Sazastan really got a treasure that could make a mortal become a god
However, if you want to use this treasure, you need corresponding knowledge.
Vesharon holds this knowledge.
It is said that the treasure was originally excavated by Velshalon from the ancient ruins in the Purple Dust Plain.
Later, for unknown reasons, it fell into the hands of Soth.
He used this thing to make a deal with Sazastan.
If we want to get more information, we can either go to Velsharon to ask for details, or risk contact with Soth.
I personally prefer the former.
Vesharon can be considered the enemy of my enemy, after all.
The hatred between him and Sazastan can no longer be resolved. If necessary, an alliance can even be formed. ”
The Tour de France instructor was obviously very excited and excited, and he spoke out all his thoughts at once.
But unfortunately, all the red-robed chiefs present did not agree. Instead, they all fell into deep thought.
Since Velsalun was expelled a long time ago, most of the chiefs who took office later had little impression of this "old-timer", let alone understanding.
The only thing he knows is that he once fought with Sazastan to compete for the chief of the Necronomicon faction, and he was very powerful enough to fight against the electors of the goddess of magic like Elminster and Xinbu.
If possible, the chiefs obviously don't want to cooperate with such an extremely dangerous person.
But similarly, the other Zuo Si is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In the previous battle that broke out in Luskan, Aznar Sruel had personally experienced the horror of the former.
Especially the ability of being immune to the nine-ring time stop, which comes from the Chosen of the Goddess of Magic, directly abolishes many of the best tactics of high-level mages.
There is no doubt that this is a dilemma.
The chiefs here must repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, and conduct a lot of testing before they can decide who to choose as an ally against Sazastan.
But what they didn’t know was that they were not the only ones who got the news.
On the other side, the electors such as Elminster, the Great Sage of Shadow Valley, Ximbu, the Storm Queen, and the Black Staff of Kelburn also received the news immediately.
Ovo, the fat man who had just returned to his hometown and was busy sorting out the magical knowledge left over from the Netheril era, was also dumbfounded by the information sent by his eldest grandniece, Morissa.
There is no doubt that before Sazastan obtained the Eye of the Storm, Zuo Si had already given orders to Ximanmeng to use the Zhentarim intelligence network to spread the news.
Right now, the entire continent of Faerûn, whether good or evil, chaotic or lawful, is undercurrent due to the appearance of this eye.
