Chapter 588 Are you ready to serve the lord? (A 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that it is a very novel thing for Yalusel to rule an area personally. experience.
Because she is not the first heir to the Cormyr royal family, the education she received is completely different from that of her sister, who is the crown princess.
The latter's learning content mainly focuses on culture, history, politics, economy and other parts directly related to rule, while the former is trained as the future king's right-hand man in the military field and has never been exposed to government affairs.
So this Iron Princess is completely blind to the operation and taxation system of the entire country.
Maybe it was a deliberately guided relationship, or maybe she wasn't interested in it at all.
Anyway, in the court of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the real nobles have never thought highly of the so-called "Iron Princess", but regarded her as a low-quality castrated version of the current king Assan IV.
At least Assan IV knew that he had to stop all large-scale military operations when he was running out of money and food, and honestly saved money to enrich the treasury. At the same time, he also knew that he needed to win over the nobles and unite them tightly around the royal family.
But Yalusel has almost nothing except the pursuit of personal bravery and victory on the battlefield. He does not even have the overall view and strategic vision of his father.
He neither knows how to maintain relationships with other noble families nor has any experience in managing territories, and he is a bit arrogant and arrogant.
How could such a person please the nobles?
It’s just that I don’t show it in the name of the royal family.
But this dissatisfaction suddenly broke out with the defeat of Yalusel and the tragic casualties of the members of the Noble Knights.
So much so that Assan IV had to announce that his youngest daughter would be expelled from the royal family as punishment, and even deliberately made her suffer to quell the anger of the nobles.
For a long time, Yalusel didn’t quite understand why his father was so heartless, and why he had to compromise with the troubled nobles instead of waiting for them to rebel and then personally lead an army to general them. He wiped them out one by one, letting the remaining nobles see what would happen if they threatened the royal family.
After all, from the time he succeeded to the throne to the present, the legendary King Assan IV still maintains an undefeated golden body.
But now...
The Iron Princess finally understands her father's helplessness and difficulties.
War is not just about the commander's strategizing and emergency response, as she had imagined before, but also about the fighting will and training level of the soldiers, as well as the sophisticated weapons and equipment.
The most critical part that determines victory or defeat is actually boiled down to two words, money and food.
With money, soldiers can be paid and purchased sophisticated weapons and equipment. With enough food, soldiers can fill their stomachs and conduct more rigorous and intense training on a daily basis.
When both are greatly satisfied at the same time, a commander who is not a useless person can lead a powerful army.
But if you lack both, then even if you are led by an invincible legendary commander, you will not have any combat effectiveness.
Taking into account the thousand-year-old feudal system of the Kingdom of Cormyr and the nobles with deep roots in the territory, once a large-scale rebellion breaks out, the royal family's finances will inevitably collapse, and perhaps more than two-thirds of the royal family will collapse. Tax revenue is lost immediately.
Without enough food and wealth, Assan IV would not only lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but he might also cause soldiers to flee or even mutiny because they could not afford military pay.
As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Under such circumstances, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to maintain rule, let alone win a war.
So from the king's perspective, sacrificing a young daughter in exchange for the stability of the country is not a difficult choice at all.
The more he understood the knowledge about finance, taxation and the operation of the state machine, the more Yalusel felt that he had been really stupid before.
I am so naive that I think all problems can be solved by war and the army.
But in fact, she didn't even know how to maintain an army. She relied entirely on the continuous blood transfusions from the treasury behind her.
The biggest contributor to the Kingdom of Cormyr’s invincibility in recent years has never been his father, whom he regarded as a hero, but the man who silently worked hard to raise money and hoard food behind the scenes, and he has not yet The sister who makes the common people in the country feel heavy taxes.
Thinking of this, Yalusel couldn't help but sigh slightly, and his heart was full of self-blame and shame. He asked without raising his head: "The empire has invested so much money in Serhong What is the real intention behind establishing such a prosperous stronghold at the gate of Master Robe?"
"The intention?
Sorry, how can I know this kind of thing?
You should ask His Majesty Soth directly.
Because the appointment of you as governor was an order issued by him personally.
But I guess this may be related to the increasingly fierce struggle among the red robed mages.
Perhaps it won’t be long before we can see the spectacular sight of chiefs tearing off their masks of hypocrisy and going to war with each other.
In time, these two islands will become the first choice for those fleeing the war.
Especially absorbing the arcane spellcasters that the red-robed mage organization spent a lot of money, time and energy to train.
Not only can it strengthen the empire's strength in magic, but it can also save the time and money needed to train a talented person into a mage.
In addition, you can also harvest wealthy businessmen and nobles by granting political asylum, selling tickets to the west coast at high prices, and providing food and accommodation.
Anyway, how much money we have invested now will be multiplied by ten times or a hundred times before we can earn it back.
In addition, the influx of a large number of civilians can also solve the shortage of population and labor force in the empire. ”
Vera stated her point of view directly.
Although her current position is only that of finance minister, she is already able to coordinate the overall situation from the position of prime minister, and is aware of Zuo Si's intention of planting this chess piece in the eastern part of Faerun.
"What? A civil war is about to break out among the chiefs of the red-robed mages!"
Yaruser's eyes widened in surprise.
Because this is not a trivial matter, and it is not just an internal dispute in the country of Ser, but a violent political turmoil that is enough to affect half of Faerûn.
After all, there are too many city-states, countries and regions that are seriously relying on the cheap food provided by Ser and the various low-level magic items sold within the lease of the red-robed mage.
Once there is a food crisis, wars and riots will follow, destroying places where order is already very fragile.
You can see this just by looking at Sambia, which is still fighting a civil war.
But Vera shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "There is no need to make a fuss.
This is no longer a secret in the imperial cabinet.
According to the latest intelligence, Sazastan began plotting to kill everyone who opposed him two weeks ago.
At the same time, he did not forget to actively win over those mages with a high enough level of spellcasting, promising to elect them as the new chief after the death of the current chief.
If nothing unexpected happens, when the first chief dies in an assassination, it should be the signal that this turmoil begins. "
"Damn! So should I be prepared to go to war? "
Yalusel frowned and continued to ask.
"No need.
Your duty is to suck blood from the behemoth Serge, while at the same time selling war supplies to both sides, trying to keep them fighting for decades or even hundreds of years.
Finally. No matter who wins, they will face a devastated and depopulated country that can no longer pose any threat to the empire.
The Red Robe Mage Organization may also decline or even die.
Remember, there are many ways to destroy your enemy, and military is the last resort
Because the cost of war is too high and extremely uncontrollable.
Oh, one more thing, please don't show any meaningless sympathy for the poor and slaves in the future, or even try to give them more convenience by interfering with administration and justice. "
After that, Vera stood up and walked to the balcony, condescendingly admiring the prosperous scene of the port and city below.
"Why? Isn't it a good thing to show the kindness of rulers to the people? At least you can win their support and love. ”
A puzzled look appeared on Yalusel’s face.
After all, showing kindness and being close to the people has always been the tradition of the Cormyr royal family.
It is precisely because of this that after thousands of years, the Obischier family is still standing and is deeply loved by the people. No big noble even dares to think of replacing it.
Feeling the sea breeze blowing in her face, Vera gently stroked her long hair hanging down by her ears, and explained patiently: "Because your behavior destroyed the most basic principles of a society's operation. , that is a relatively fair environment.
What will other people think and think if you give more resources to a certain group?
Perhaps most people are kind in the beginning. People will have a sympathetic attitude and give more care to these vulnerable groups
But as time goes by, some people will begin to feel unbalanced and start to think about why the other person can get more care but they can't.
When more and more people have this mentality, conflicts will begin to intensify, eventually forming serious antagonism and social division.
And there will be a small group of people who take advantage of these loopholes to make profits for themselves and their families.
So what you do cannot really help, but instead pushes them into the abyss.
His Majesty Soth once taught me that as a ruler, you must be as ruthless as possible, so that it is good for everyone.
What's more, simple charity and relief can never really solve the problem, but will trigger a series of new crises.
You need to learn to achieve your political goals by developing long-term and sustainable policies. ”
In an instant!
These words caused Yalusel to fall into silence, and he began to reflect on whether the benevolent act of his father, the king, who always liked to give alms to the poor was really correct.< br>
If it is correct, then why does it cost so much money and food every year, but the number of poor people and beggars in the Kingdom of Cormyr never decreases?
Even if a small number of people escape poverty and hunger through relief, it won't be long before new poor people and beggars appear.
Contrary to this situation, the West Coast Empire obviously has a better financial situation and astonishing tax revenue, but it basically does not give charity or relief to the poor and beggars, except for young children and the elderly. , disabled and other special groups who have lost the ability to work.
Instead, the money is invested in bottomless pits of roads, ports, urban reconstruction, construction of water conservancy facilities and public carriage systems, in order to provide a large number of jobs.
The most incredible thing is that compared to the Kingdom of Cormyr, there are significantly fewer poor people and beggars here.
Is this the legendary way to fundamentally solve the problem by formulating long-term policies?
Yalusel seemed to have understood something, and his eyes began to sparkle with strange brightness. He looked at Vera's delicate and beautiful face and asked in an uncertain tone: "Why do you want to teach me these valuable knowledge and experiences?" ?”
“Haha, because His Majesty Soth believes that your future will not be limited to this.
The two islands under your feet are specially used to test your ability to govern.
Good luck, I look forward to your wonderful performance next.
Also, I don’t think you need to be wary and hostile to Serge’s red mage. < br>
After all, even if a war really breaks out, the business that needs to be done must continue until the cabinet ban is obtained.
You must understand that the will of the country cannot be transferred to personal preferences, let alone be measured by moral standards such as good and evil. "
After saying this, Vera turned around and planned to return to Calimport Palace through the newly established Mage Tower portal.
As the Minister of Finance, she is very busy. Being able to take some time to teach the Iron Princess every few days was due to her promise to become the second prime minister of the empire in the future.
But before Vera opened the door and walked out of the room, He heard Yalusel suddenly calling him from behind.
"Wait a minute! Where is the Sossian? Why haven't I heard anything from him recently? I can't even see him?"
"What, you don't know yet?
Just Not long ago, His Majesty just personally killed the resurrected God of Murder, Baal.
This incident has caused shock in all the divine churches on the west coast.
The goddess of magic and knowledge. Many churches, including Goddess of Natural Decomposition and Circulation and Heim, the Guardian God, have come forward to confirm the news
There are even rumors that His Majesty Soth has become one of the gods.
But the Askatra Mage Tower denied this.
So don’t ask me where His Majesty is currently.
Because he has already surpassed the limits of mortals and stands at a height that we can never reach. "
Vera opened her arms and her tone was full of naked and unabashed enthusiasm and adoration.
After all, there are too few examples of mortals killing gods in Faerûn, and many of them are due to fluke factors and are not replicable at all.
"Kill...god..."
Yaruseel clenched his fists subconsciously, and his whole body began to tremble slightly with excitement and excitement, and his tall and proud upper body began to tremble slightly with excitement. He was rising and falling with rapid breathing.
For a moment, the two women in the room seemed to see the same emotions in each other's eyes, and the atmosphere became ambiguous for some reason.
Iron Princess didn’t know why, but she suddenly recalled what happened with Ayesha before and started to blush involuntarily.
Coupled with the relatively warm and humid climate of the Araul province, I immediately started to sweat a lot and made the white silk top stick to my skin, presenting a looming beauty.
When Vera saw this, she immediately smiled meaningfully, then looked at the other person up and down with aggressive eyes, and then turned around and opened the door with elegant steps and walked out.
As soon as she left, Yalusel rushed into the bathroom, took off his clothes and started to rinse his body with cold water, forcing down the evil fire in his heart.
After walking out of the bathroom and changing into another set of clothes, the princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr once again returned to her usual proud posture.
There is no doubt that the West Coast Empire has invested heavily in development and construction on the two islands near Ser, which has undoubtedly touched the most sensitive nerve of the red-robed mages.
After all, the aerial gunboats and the dragon army have not yet withdrawn. They are floating in the middle of the two islands and may launch another attack at any time.
If this had been the case before, all the chiefs, including Sazastan, would have put aside their grudges temporarily and joined forces to resolve the current crisis.
But the problem is that as Sazastan is determined to deal with these "insects" and take full power to lead the country to a more glorious future, both parties have no room for maneuver.
Even for several chief meetings, he did not attend them in person, but randomly sent a deputy.
With such a behavior, the other chiefs are naturally not fools. They all realize that Sazhastan may be causing trouble, and one by one they all increase the security forces around them.
That tense and solemn atmosphere almost affected the entire red-robed mage organization.
Even the number of "accidental deaths" has increased by 400% in recent times.
Although it is far from the point where everyone is in danger, the strong sense of suffocation and oppression is definitely indispensable.
Kalea, who at least once went to Calimport to meet Zuo Si once as a messenger, and was also developed into a mole, now has to bring the stone golem she made even to the toilet.
Otherwise God knows what will happen.
You must know that going to the toilet is one of the times when people lack vigilance and the ability to protect themselves.
There are quite a few apprentices and red-robed mages of all levels who die in the toilet every year.
And because she was afraid that the identity of her mole would be exposed, Kalaya did not dare to have a long conversation with anyone.
Every time I complete a task, I have to hurriedly hand in the report, collect the reward, and return to my place of residence.
Only in the heavily guarded Mage Tower can she gain a little sense of security.
"Huh - it's really dangerous. I finally came back alive. But the rewards of this adventure are equally rich. I really didn't expect that there would be such a treasure stored in that ancient tomb."
Kalaya slumped directly on the sofa without any image, and took out a piece of metal in a closed test tube from the backpack she carried.
In an instant!
The surrounding magic network began to boil, and countless energy began to gather towards the location of the metal fragments.
You don’t need to ask to know that this gadget is Serge’s national treasure, exactly the same as the artifact fragment given to Zuo Si last time.
It's just that the size is significantly smaller.
Just when the bald female mage was thinking about using the artifact fragments, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and snatched the test tube containing the artifact fragments from her hand.
“Who?!”
Like a frightened cat, Kalaya jumped up from the sofa and activated the [Malicious Transformation] stored in the staff with her backhand.
This is a very well-known five-ring transformation magic. Its function is to turn the target into a harmless small animal, such as rabbits, frogs, squirrels, etc.
Its characteristic is that it can capture the enemy without harming or killing them.
Of course, some evil mages will deliberately turn the other person into a small animal, and then put them in a cage or fish tank to keep them for fun, and torture and humiliate them as much as possible.
But it is a pity that although the [Malicious Transformation] hit successfully this time, it had no effect. Because standing behind Shafa is a lich with only skeletons left in his body.
One of the lich's series of immunities is "transformation".
It's just that this lich wears dragon skin gloves on his hands, thus covering up his undead characteristics.
But to be just an ordinary lich, there is no need to be so nervous with Kalaya's current spellcasting level.
But the problem is that the lich in front of him who can pass through many magical defenses silently without triggering any alarm is none other than the leader of the Entangled Talisman - Lagon.
The gap in strength and magic duel experience between the two sides is as big as heaven and earth.
Kalea even felt that even if she and her chief mentor joined forces, they would not be able to stand in front of this powerful legendary lich for more than ten minutes.
So in just two or three seconds, she immediately put on another face, suppressed the resentment caused by having the artifact fragment taken away, and bowed respectfully.
"Master, when did you come? Why didn't you inform me so that I could prepare in advance."
"If I had informed you in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen this. A small fragment of the artifact.”
Lagon fiddled with the test tube in his hand and carefully observed the changing shapes of the metal particles inside.
Although he had heard of this strange substance for a long time, he never thought that just a little bit like this could strengthen the magic network to such an extent.
"How could it be? I plan to hand it over to His Majesty Soth in exchange for more magic knowledge." Kalaya quickly defended herself.
After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Right now, her every move is controlled by these powerful and terrifying legendary undead spellcasters, and she has no capital to resist or bargain at all.
What's more, the education that the red-robed mage received is that weakness is the original sin, and to survive at any cost.
Lagon undoubtedly noticed the truest thoughts in the bald female mage's heart, and deliberately said in a casual tone: "Don't bother me, I will transfer this fragment to the owner for you.
In addition, I must remind you that it is best to stop all long-term outings from today on.
Because Sazastan is about to start a plan to eliminate dissidents.
He will find ways to kill those chiefs who oppose him to ensure that he can concentrate all his efforts and no longer need to spend every day in quarreling and holding each other back as before. "
"What? Sazastan is ready to take action? Who is his first target? ”
Kalaiya’s face suddenly became extremely serious and nervous.
Although her teacher had a good relationship with the most powerful chief of the necromancy department, no one could guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly pull a dirty trick.
The internal fighting among the red-robed mage often relies on surprise.
Many times those who do not appear to be enemies are the murderers who suddenly jump out and deliver the fatal blow.
“Relax, the target chosen by Sazastan is not you and your mentor, but Aznar Sruel, who has repeatedly opposed him in the parliament. And I have one thing to ask. You do it.”
As he spoke, Lagun took out a few letters and placed them on the table, the meaning of which was self-evident.
He wanted to completely muddy the water that was originally not very clean in Serge, and then he could fish in troubled waters to achieve his goal.
......
On the other side, far away is the most chaotic plane in the universe - the Sea of Chaos.
Gramiel, the pleasure magician, is suffering from unprecedented weakness and pain, patiently waiting for the arrival of Shemisaka.
Not only her, but other devil reaction fluids around her are similar.
At this moment, he was probably cursing and cursing this damn yugoloth in his heart, and wanted to peel off his skin and twitch his muscles to take turns experiencing the art of torture in Baator Hell.
To be precise, anyone who is not from the chaos camp will experience strong discomfort in their senses and perception when they come to this place.
The opposing lawful camp is particularly serious.
What's even worse is that this unlucky place has undergone three major changes in a very short period of time, so that the surrounding environment has changed beyond recognition.
The devils were not even sure if Shemishaka could actually be found.
In addition, the occasional slaadi passing by in the distance also made everyone nervous.
Compared with this kind of creature that exudes the essence of chaos in its bones, the abyss demon can be considered orderly.
After all, the bloody battle lasted for so long, the devil could at least effectively transport troops to the front line, and the basic organizational skills were still somewhat there.
No one knows how these large humanoid toads will react after encountering a slaadi, let alone whether there is a god-like lord hidden behind them.
In short, unknown and unpredictable are the characteristics of the sea of chaos.
There’s never a shortage of surprises when traveling here, and of course there’s also the possibility of shocks.
Probably the only friendly creature is the Githzerai, the biological brothers of the Githyanki and their second most hated creature after the mind flayers.
It is said that these guys possess a kind of spiritual power that can temporarily stabilize the unstable matter and energy in the Chaos Sea to form a habitable area.
But the Githzerai are too few in number.
To encounter someone in a place as big as the Sea of Chaos is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just when Gramir began to wait a little impatiently, the team led by Shemishaka finally appeared.
The latter had obviously made sufficient preparations, not only bringing a large number of tiefling followers, but also many temporarily hired adventurers and mercenaries, numbering in the thousands.
Some of them were still injured, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.
After seeing the devil with an obviously displeased look on his face, Shemishaka immediately stepped forward with an attentive look, put one hand on his chest and bowed gracefully.
“Ah! You must be the exclusive secretary of the great lord Soth of the ninth level of hell, right?
My name is Shemishaka. As you can see, I am a yugoloth. I am currently doing some small business in Sigil.
Thanks to the guidance of the great Lord Soth and the pharmaceutical factory owned by the Succubus Queen Mecantheut, otherwise a small businessman like me would have no chance to make so much money.
This is a trivial meaning, not respectful, please accept it. "
As soon as she spoke. The underworld queen of Sigil City took out a dozen prepared soul prisms and stuffed them into the hands of the pleasure demon.
She had obviously found out about Gra. With Mir's identity and status, he knows the price to pay to please a devil of this level.
Although sending so many soul prisms at once made Shemisaka feel a pang of pain, she decisively decided to spend the money.
Feeling the number of souls exuding pain and despair in these prisms, Gramir's originally ugly face finally improved a little, and he said straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me? ? Let me state in advance that we never pay on credit. "
"Of course. I have purchased it many times before, but there is one thing. This time I want to use your secret portal in Sigil City to deliver the goods as quickly as possible. Is that okay?”
Shemisaka quickly made his request.
As a city of thousands of gates, Sigil can be said to have portals connecting all other planes.
Some of them were formed by accident, and others were opened by the Lady of Pain.
But these portals all have one characteristic, that is, they are very unstable and like to change positions randomly.
Whoever can discover the location of the portal in time can sell it as a commodity to those who need it.
You can often get thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins in one transaction.
There are many profiteers and information dealers who have made a fortune by selling portals.
Almost every powerful enough force has at least dozens or even hundreds of secret portals at hand.
And Baator Hell happens to be one of them.
This can be seen from the stable number of devils in Sigil City.
Even if a conflict or war causes the number of devils to drop sharply, they can quickly recover after a few days.
Everything is due to the portal.
"Of course it's no problem. As long as you are willing to pay the expensive portal usage fee, what reason do I have to refuse?"
The corners of Gramir's mouth raised slightly, revealing a teasing smile.
In her eyes, this yugoloth demon has been a prey with a rope around its neck from the moment it appeared.
What you have to do is to check repeatedly to make sure that the opponent does not have any high-level magic items or even artifacts that can instantly complete cross-dimensional teleportation before taking action.
Obviously, Shemisaka didn't realize that this was a trap. He immediately laughed happily after hearing that the portal could be used: "Hahahaha! Thank you for your generosity and kindness, I know how to do it with you. The business will definitely be very pleasant. In that case, how about we sign a contract?”
"You want to sign a contract?"
Gramiel stared at the other party as if he were a fool.
“Yes, is there any problem?”
Shemisaka had a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Of course there is a problem. Don't you know that in Baator Hell, all contracts must be executed?" Gramir asked confidently.
Her question immediately confused Shemisaka. He stared at his two cunning fox-like eyes for a few seconds, and then quickly reacted and his face suddenly changed.
"You...you have no intention of completing this deal with me at all? You want to take advantage of it!"
Gramiel stretched out a finger and shook it gently: " No, no, no, it’s not about cheating.
Although the soul prism and the amazing wealth in your hand are indeed tempting, it’s not enough for me to come forward in person.
In fact. We have only one goal from the beginning, and that is you
Because as long as I control you, it is equivalent to controlling half of the underground world of Sigil City and a huge intelligence network.
Now, are you ready to serve Lord Soth, the lord of the ninth level of hell? "
"Don't even think about it! I won't give in to anyone! "
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shemishaka immediately began to retreat, and made an attack movement towards a large number of men behind him.
The next second...
Hundreds of tieflings, as well as those temporarily hired alien creatures, rushed towards the few demons like a tide.
They know that the devils of the lawful camp will be greatly weakened in the Sea of Chaos.
And no one dares to cast spells at will here. In the end, only the most primitive and bloody hand-to-hand combat determines the outcome.
“Prepare to fight!”
Gramiel gave the order to the demons around him with an expressionless face.
In the blink of an eye, several Hell Fiends and Insect Demons drew their weapons and attacked, cutting the guys at the front in half on the spot.
The latter is specially designed for close combat. It is like a heavy tank. It rushes into the enemy and causes a bloody storm. You can see a lot of blood splattering, broken limbs and internal organs flying everywhere. .
Even a +2 enchanted weapon cannot easily penetrate the thick and hard shell and only leaves a concave mark on the surface.
The insidious and cunning Hell Fiend uses its huge body as a cover to suddenly jump out and launch a surprise attack, killing several more threatening targets before hiding.
With this skillful cooperation, it didn't take long for the tiefling cronies to suffer heavy casualties, unable to break through the solid defense line.
"Damn it! Farrow, follow me back to Sigil City immediately. This time we have to face more than just one or two enemies."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shemisaka immediately ran away. With this in mind, he didn't forget to take his ace spy with him before leaving.
After all, the value of Farro is worth all the others.
As long as he is still here, there is no need to worry about not having information that can be sold at a high price.
But just when the yugoloth demon carefully asked a follower to try to activate the interdimensional teleportation item, Farrow, who had no expression and remained silent, suddenly took it out at lightning speed. A button-sized device was thrown directly into the former's mouth.
Whoosh!
Shemisaka had no time to react and subconsciously made a swallowing movement. The mysterious device entered the stomach along the mouth and esophagus.
She instantly became frightened and angry, and asked sternly: "Farrow! What the hell are you doing?"
"Me? I'm just following the master's orders. ”
The elf gave the answer very simply.
Immediately after Shemisaka opened his mouth to say something, a sharp pain suddenly came from his stomach, accompanied by uncontrollable twitching throughout his body.
From the throat, a silvery electric light can be vaguely seen.
You don’t need to ask to know that the button-sized device just now is actually a magic item that can discharge electricity.
As long as anyone eats it, the person holding the remote control can activate and release a fatal electric current at any time.
You must know that this is in the internal organs of the digestive system.
Once it starts, it's a life-or-death experience.
In order to facilitate Farrow's infiltration and intelligence gathering, Zuo Si specially used his own abilities to make some gadgets used to assassinate or threaten to control others.
But who would have thought that the first one would be used here.
Shemisaka endured the severe pain, raised his head and gritted his teeth and asked: "Master? Do you have a second master besides me? Or have you been deceiving me through disguise? ”
“Of course he has a master, and that’s me.”
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Zuo Si, who had been watching the show in the dark for a long time, finally appeared and confiscated all the suspected magic items from Shemisaka at lightning speed.
At this time, the Yugoloth demon had completely lost the possibility of escaping, and his whole body was held in his hand by the scruff of his neck like a house cat.
“Are you Soth, the lord of the ninth level of Baator Hell?!”
Shemishaka was obviously not stupid, and he guessed Zuo Si’s true identity at once.
After all, the only one who could make Gramiel cooperate with him in acting was Zuo Si, his immediate boss.
"You are very smart, smarter than I thought, but you are just a little too greedy."
Zuo Si looked at this guy with great interest, who was quite in line with the "Fu Ruikong" aesthetic standard.
Especially when pinching the furry fur, it feels quite good, and it even gives people the illusion that they are petting a fox.
“What exactly do you want?”
Shemisaka narrowed her eyes and probed cautiously.
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Not really, I just hope you can work for me. But this is not asking for your opinion, but informing you, that's all."
The words have not yet finished!
The Planeswalker's sparks suddenly became bright and dazzling, and Shemisaka seemed to feel the huge crisis, and hurriedly tried his best to struggle and resist.
But it's all in vain.
With Zuo Si's current planeswalker level of up to LV31, it is completely easy to crush a slightly more advanced yugoloth demon.
Eventually, Sigil's underworld queen also became a summoned creature card.
When the followers, mercenaries and hired adventurers saw their employer disappear, they immediately stopped fighting and dispersed.
The devils followed and chased him until the last one was cut into pieces to calm the situation.
As for the few who escaped, they had done their best just to survive in the Sea of Chaos, and there was no way they could go back and spread news or rumors.
