Chapter 719 Another Heir (Please subscribe for a 10,000-word chapter)
In the evening, the setting sun shone on the streets of Calimport in the south of Faerûn, casting a shadow over this ancient city with a long history. A golden veil.
The bustling crowds in the streets and markets, as well as the shouts of vendors, the voices of merchants bargaining, and the laughter and curses of guests in pubs, hotels, restaurants and other places, together form a picture of prosperity. Picture scroll.
As the second city of the West Coast Empire and also the cultural, educational and political center, its importance is self-evident.
If the capital Askatra is the heart, continuously supplying blood to the empire through economy, finance, trade and manufacturing, then Calimport is equivalent to the brain center.
All policy formulation, financial budgeting, appointment and dismissal of officials, rewards and punishments, abolition and promulgation of laws, and deployment of troops are all completed here without exception.
Although during the large-scale expansion and reconstruction process, many landmark buildings in Calimport that can be called "cultural relics" for thousands of years have been extensively damaged and forcibly demolished, the overall The style has not changed.
Especially the splendid Royal Palace, which was rebuilt and transformed after the restoration of Shah En VII, is almost the same as it was during the Shah En Dynasty.
This made countless Kalingshan people involuntarily recall their glorious history and civilization in the past when they almost ruled the entire west coast of Faerûn, and then looked at the current empire that has the blood of the Shann royal family through marriage. Filled with a sense of identity and belonging.
After all, the current huge territory of the West Coast Empire is exactly what they have always longed for but failed to achieve.
This alone makes the vast majority of proud Kalingshan people sincerely support the legal right to rule of the current emperor Zuo Si and his descendants.
Not to mention the strong centralized government, efficient and clean bureaucracy and judicial system, as well as the continuous improvement in income and living standards brought about by the widespread popularization of knowledge, technology, and magic.
Some scholars even declare to the outside world that the existing governance and various systems of the West Coast Empire are the most ideal and perfect, and are truly the "end of history", and there will never be anything that can surpass it.
The age of giants and dragons, the civilization established by the elves in ancient times, the Netheril Empire, and the High Imaskar Empire all had to stand aside in front of the newly rising West Coast Empire.
As for the theocratic empires like Mulhorand and Unther, they are not even worthy of carrying their shoes.
To this end, they also compiled several books, and sparked heated discussions and debates in the academic world of Faerûn.
Facts have once again proved that being strong is human nature and instinct.
When you are strong enough, no matter what you do, it is right.
Even if you have a problem, someone will find reasons and excuses for you, and give you reasonable explanations and various legal basis.
This trend of thought just caters to the subtle sense of pride and superiority of the people in the Kalingshan region and even the entire West Coast Empire, allowing them to gradually begin to develop an identity and cultural identity.
Recently, it was reported that Queen Aisha gave birth to a child with divine power, which made everyone even more excited.
Both commoners and nobles are anxiously waiting for the official announcement from the royal family, as well as the gender and name of the heir.
Some cities have even made preparations in advance. As soon as the information is announced to the public, they will hold grand celebrations and invite artists to make sculptures to commemorate this great moment.
But what puzzled everyone was that so much time had passed, but there was still no movement from the royal family, as if the prince or princess had never been born at all.
There were even rumors that the heir died due to some accident.
But soon some scholars came forward to refute the rumors.
After all, it is a powerful god-like power, how could it die young.
In short, outside speculation has already evolved into dozens of versions, making it impossible for people to tell whether it is true or false.
Under normal circumstances, at this time, the cabinet or Queen Ayesha should have stepped forward and issued an official announcement to refute the rumors.
But they obviously have their own reasons.
The reason why no official announcement has been made until now is mainly because the little Annie that everyone saw at first was an energy ball that could not be touched, and then continued to change into human, devil, dragon and other forms.
Before she could confirm her gender, she was picked up by the goddess of magic, Midnight.
Even as a mother, Ayesha didn’t know whether the child she gave birth to was a son or a daughter, or even what it was.
This leaves the outside world to guess how she will announce the specific information about the empire's heir.
Right now, the queen is lying lazily on a rocking chair, tasting fresh fruits flown from the North, while flipping through the account books and profit reports in her hands. It took several minutes to Without raising his head, he asked: "What is the total income of the royal family this quarter?"
"Excluding all expenses, the total amount exceeds 30 million gold coins, Your Majesty. Among them, interdimensional transactions and magic-related operations account for almost more than 60%."
Keep your head open. The young maid with long black hair and wearing a sexy translucent gauze dress proudly reported a number that would shock and envy the rulers of most countries in Faerûn.
Because this is not the overall financial income of the West Coast Empire, but only the income from the royal family's industry, there is no problem even if it is completely used for squandering enjoyment.
Being able to participate in the management of such a huge industry is an honor and something worthy of bragging in the eyes of most people.
Of course, women who are qualified to enter the harem to serve the queen are basically from noble families.
Since the Kalingshan area is not monogamous, men can not only marry multiple wives, but also raise hundreds of concubines, so the number of children is also quite astonishing.
Some rich and powerful middle-aged and elderly men can even have more than three digits of children, as well as more grandchildren and granddaughters.
In order to follow the ancient tradition and to close the relationship between their family and the royal family, many important ministers and nobles will find ways to send the youngest and most beautiful family women to the palace.
These well-educated, fair-skinned and beautiful young aristocratic women have two identities at the same time.
One of them is the role played by the maid in front of her, which is to assist the royal family in managing the huge property, and occasionally she may need to sacrifice her beauty to engage in espionage activities.
The other is to fulfill the emperor's personal desires while serving as a secretary or document processor.
They are not beautiful vases in the traditional sense. They gain power entirely by selling their bodies and beauty.
Just the opposite!
These women are aristocratic elites in the true sense, possessing professional knowledge and skills. They are also one of the few women who have the opportunity to touch power in the male-dominated society of Kalingshan for thousands of years.
The residents of Calimport even gave them a very appropriate nickname - "Vipers".
Although it looks beautiful and poses little threat, an accidental bite can be fatal.
These women also readily accepted the title of "Viper" and even customized snake-shaped amulets to wear on their bodies to highlight their unique identities.
As a queen who likes reading and has been personally trained by Shah En VII, it is natural that Ayesha does not know the history and origin of the "Viper". She also knows that this is one of the few people who can be controlled by herself. The power of control.
So she used some means to win over these young women to consolidate her position in the harem.
Although Zuo Si has not met other women in the palace so far, Ayesha, who is used to the wives and concubines of powerful men, has already begun to prepare for a rainy day.
And thoroughly grasping the royal family's financial revenue is one of the most direct and effective means.
After all, although Her Majesty the Queen looks gentle, quiet and bookish, she is not a fool and knows how to control power to the maximum extent within the scope of her husband's permission.
Although she will not interfere with the cabinet, administration and judicial system, she has firmly held the power of the harem in her own hands.
"As usual, two-thirds of the money is sent to the education department, and the rest is saved to pay the salaries of servants, the maintenance and repair of the palace, and the purchase of daily necessities. In addition, , remember to prepare some baby supplies that may be needed in the future," Ayesha ordered without thinking.
"Baby products? You mean..."
The maid clearly noticed something, with a very expectant expression on her face.
After all, she was present during the birth and was one of the very few people who knew the truth.
Ayesha smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't think blindly. I didn't get any precise information. I just wanted to fulfill my duties as a mother."
The maid Ruo He nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand. But according to tradition, whether it is a prince or a princess, after birth, he must recruit attendants of the right age from the nobles to cultivate their relationship from an early age. Look at this matter Do you want to put it on the agenda?"
"No, don't worry. After all, I don't even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl. What's more, I don't think the little guy needs any attendants to protect him. For your own safety, leave things like this to Soth.”
Ayesha rejected the other party's proposal very simply.
“As you wish!”
The maid placed one hand on her chest and bowed deeply, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor behind her with elegant steps.
While Ayesha sat alone on the balcony looking at the distant scenery and sighed.
Obviously, out of maternal instinct, she now misses her child very much and is eager to see her as soon as possible.
At this moment, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air.
Following that, Zuo Si's figure appeared out of thin air, holding in his arms a girl who looked to be about three years old, wearing a purple princess dress, knee-length socks and small leather boots.
"This...is this?!!"
Ayesha stood up from the chair in a flash, not even bothering to put on her shoes, stepping on the cold marble with her bare feet On the ground, faces were full of excitement and excitement.
"Her name is Annie, and she is our daughter. Annie, this is your mother."
After that, Zuo Si handed the little one in his arms to his nominal wife.
"Mom——"
As a quasi-divine, little Annie can obviously tell who is related to her by blood, and immediately puts on a cute look and asks for a hug.
"Gods bless you! My dear baby! You don't know how much your mother misses you."
Aisha's tears couldn't stop flowing down immediately, and she hugged her daughter Keep kissing in your arms.
After a while, her emotions gradually calmed down and she wiped the tears from her face. She raised her head and asked in an uncertain tone: "Annie was only born not long ago. How could she grow up so fast? What happened to her?" ?”
“Well...it’s difficult to explain this.
In fact, just yesterday she was a baby who didn’t understand anything.
But now. After swallowing several gods from another time and space, she suddenly grew up.
I don't know yet whether this is the result of swallowing the gods, or whether it is caused by her change in self-perception. Results.
But overall it's a good thing.
At least I no longer have to worry about the killing and destruction she may cause unconsciously. ”
Zuo Si spoke out all he knew about the situation and his guesses.
After all, it is not that easy for most ordinary people for a baby to suddenly turn into a three-year-old loli. Accepted.
“You mean, she will grow up quickly? ”
Ayesha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zuo Si nodded first, then shook his head: "No, I mean, her growth rate may not be necessarily related to her age.
Maybe a few days Or in a few months Annie will look like she is eleven or twelve years old.
Maybe hundreds of years later she will still maintain her current appearance.
And I have to tell you, in Annie. Until I can fully control my powers, I have to keep her with me just in case.”
Obviously, after solving a lot of troubles in Theros space and time, Zuo Si immediately thought of bringing his daughter back to see Ayesha as a mother, and to check on the status of his other heir.
"Okay, I think I understand what you mean. How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"
Ayesha gently stroked her daughter's cute face with a hint of innocence. His face and eyes were full of strong reluctance, but he did not express any objection.
She knew very well that little Annie would almost certainly be like her father, a powerful being with eternal life and power comparable to the gods.
Based on his status as a mortal, he has no ability to raise and teach him, let alone deal with the aftermath when he causes a big disaster.
"Well - I'll probably stay for a few more days. In the meantime, Annie will be left to you first. Be careful, she is not an ordinary child."
While Zuo Si was speaking, this The little ancestor turned around and made a mischievous face, and then began to inspect the furniture, furnishings, magic items and artworks such as sculptures and paintings in the palace, as well as the precious ornamental plants and small animals in the courtyard outside.
Due to her self-awareness and independent thinking, she has now successfully gotten rid of the behavioral pattern that was completely driven by instinct.
The advantage is that 90% of the behavior has become predictable, but the trouble is that you have learned to disguise, deceive and play tricks.
Although Zuo Si set many restrictions with his three chapters when he came back, it is a bit hard to say whether they will really strictly abide by them.
Because so far, little Annie has not shown that she has inherited the lawful tendency of the big devil's bloodline. Instead, she gives people a weird and elusive feeling.
Hearing that she had been given some time alone with her daughter, Ayesha immediately showed a happy smile and responded quickly: "No problem, leave it to me. It just so happened that the cabinet ministers and the people could also take the opportunity to have a glimpse of the empire. The style of the crown prince. Oh, by the way, what are you going to do about Anne's entourage and knights?"
Zuo Si answered straightforwardly: "Don't worry, I have prepared the knights and guards for her."< br>
"Then I'm relieved. Come on, my little baby, let mommy take you to visit the palace, and then take you to eat some delicious food. How about it?"
Aisha bent down and picked up her daughter, her tone and attitude were full of doting.
"Okay! Okay!"
Little Annie clapped her hands happily, acting like a three-year-old child.
Soon, the mother and daughter, followed by the servants, disappeared into the maze-like palace.
Zuo Si, who had been in a tense state recently, also relaxed a little. After staying for a while, he activated the teleportation magic and headed to the Kingdom of Cormyr.
……
At this moment, in the palace of this ancient feudal country established by humans.
As the regent, the Iron Princess - Yalusel, is currently lying on a soft big bed with her belly puffed out, being inspected by the priest while handling complex and difficult government affairs.
Due to the simultaneous death of the heroic king and the eldest princess, the current Kingdom of Cormyr can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles.
After eliminating the threats from the Northern Haunted City and Zhentil Castle, just the group of clique-affected nobles in the country, as well as the huge debts owed before, are enough to make the royal family difficult to move forward.
Especially the aristocratic parliament, which has huge power, will cause violent quarrels and disagreements almost every time it is convened.
If it had been in the past, Yalusel would have been impatient and tried to use force to force the troublemaker to surrender to her.
But now, instead of showing any impatience, she methodically used her status as regent to win over those forces that were originally loyal to her father and sister.
Then in exchange for raising the social status of the merchant class, these guys provided an interest-free loan to rectify the civil unrest caused before the military quelled it.
It didn’t take long for the originally chaotic country to gradually restore order, and the royal capital finally fell completely under its control.
It can be said that Yalusel's series of performances after his return made everyone admire him with admiration.
Its political level and governance ability seem to have reached above the passing line, and can even be called excellent.
"How is it? Are the regent's physical condition and the fetus okay?"
Karadenai, who had just taken over the title of royal mage, asked nervously.
As one of the very few people who knew the identity of the child's biological father, she was highly nervous about this matter, fearing even the slightest accident.
"Sorry, please forgive me for my limited ability to confirm the condition of the fetus. Because there is an invisible energy field that blocks all detection methods."
The bishop of the Earth Mother Goddess Chantia showed a helpless expression.
"What do you mean..."
Karadnai's face changed slightly as she undoubtedly guessed something.
The bishop nodded slightly: "Yes.
If the father of this child is also that person, it is very likely that the child will also be conceived with a natural god-like power.
Therefore, I suggest that it is best to inform the other party immediately, otherwise unforeseen accidents may occur.
As far as I know, the last time I gave birth, the magic network went out of control and even collapsed in the delivery room.
It was the goddess of magic who came in person to calm the storm.
Otherwise, the Archmage and Legendary Mage present might be sucked alive and die. ”
Hearing these words, all the insiders in the room showed expressions of horror.
After all, the mere presence of the goddess of magic can already illustrate the seriousness of the problem.
Furthermore, the Kingdom of Cormyr is not a traditional magic power. Although it has a well-known battle mage group, the overall spellcasting level is not high.
Caradenai didn’t think she could handle such a situation.
Just when she was about to say something, Yalusel suddenly interrupted: "Okay, let's stop here for today. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. Check me out."
"You are too kind. It is an honor for me to serve the regent." The bishop bowed very humbly, and then followed the servant and left this so-called Kingdom of Cormyr. The safest room.
As soon as he walked away with his front foot, Karadnai couldn't help but ask: "Have you thought about what to do?
Don't tell me that you are just going to drag it out like this. .
According to human standards, your pregnancy is very close to your due date.
If something goes wrong by then, there is nothing I can do.”
But Yalusel responded nonchalantly: "There's no need to be so nervous. I believe Soth will arrive by then. After all, with Aisha's experience, he should have realized that his heir will be very unhappy." Ordinary."
"And how do you plan to deal with the possible inheritance dispute between your descendants and your nephew?" Karadnai asked without any concealment.
This is also an issue that all nobles in the entire Kingdom of Cormyr are concerned about. If it is not handled well, it will trigger a civil war over the succession of the throne.
Don’t think this is a joke!
In traditional feudal countries, the inheritance rights of the nobility and the throne are an extension of property rights, and are also the foundation for maintaining bloodline rule.
Once a dispute occurs, it will lead to a series of serious consequences.
Especially in the current situation where Cormier is doubting the young master and the country, he must be handled with extra caution and decisiveness.
"I...I don't know how to deal with it. I'd better wait for Sos to make the decision when he comes."
Yaruseel's performance in this matter Extremely confused.
After all, she was really unwilling to give up the throne so close to her, and she didn't think her child would be willing to be subordinate to her nephew in the future.
But similarly, she could not ruthlessly eradicate the heirs left behind by her sister.
The only thing that can be done at the moment is to delay, so that the nobles who are planning to take the family to a higher level through siding with each other and political speculation do not dare to express their stance easily.
"Damn it! You look like you are giving away the Kingdom of Cormyr now."
Karadna rolled her eyes angrily.
Jalusel asked indifferently: "So what?
Anyway, this child has half of the blood of the Obaiszil family, and he is legally qualified to be the successor of the Cormyr royal family.
And his father was the emperor of the West Coast Empire.
If you become the king, you can definitely lead Cormyr to become stronger and more prosperous.
Maybe you can even get rid of a large amount of debt directly.
After all, Soth would never collect debt from his son, would he?
What's more, I can take the opportunity to extort a large sum of aid, so we don't have to worry about a little money. "
Seeing the shameless look of her former friend, Karadna couldn't help but hold her forehead and complain: "You are really depraved, Yalusel Nakakia Obeschi. you. "
"Fall? This is not depravity! Instead, make the most of your strengths. What's more, I am a woman, what's wrong with relying on my own man and the father of my children? "
A hint of subtle cunning flashed in Yalusel's eyes.
Karadnai shook her head slightly: "No, of course there is no problem.
I just can't believe that the Iron Princess who was so proud back then has turned into something else now.
To be honest, I can't believe that the emperor completely changed you in such a short time.
This is something that even your father, Assan IV, was unable to do. ”
“That’s because the methods and techniques they use are completely different.
My father will always only preach, but Soth allowed me to become the governor and experience the process of management and rule first-hand.
He taught me that the essence of politics is to win over more people to become one's allies, and then to suppress the enemies of the minority, thereby forcing the other party to make concessions until a compromise is reached.
So you can see that after becoming the regent, I have been trying to balance the forces of all parties, forcing some families to make concessions, but not pushing them into a dead end. "
As he spoke, Yalusel stamped several letters with the seal symbolizing the regency of the kingdom and threw them on the bedside table aside.
The servant waiting next to him immediately Pick up these letters and give them to the courier outside, who will then deliver them to the designated person.
Just as the courier gallops away, this room that originally prohibited all magic transmission suddenly appears. Violent space oscillations.
Karadna was the first to notice this, and she instantly felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. While sounding the alarm, she raised the most powerful magic item in her hand.
But after just a few seconds, she cleared the alarm, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Because the person who teleported right after him was none other than Zuo Si.
“Welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor.”
Karadnai hurriedly lowered her head and curtsied, her hands hidden in her large robe trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Because she mastered the palace's magic enchantment, she could clearly feel the terrifying magical energy unintentionally emitted by the young man in front of her, as well as the extremely complex and huge magic protection and mystery locks surrounding her body.
Even the protective barrier in the palace was completely covered the moment it appeared.
Although she has never seen the goddess of magic with her own eyes, Karadna feels that even if the goddess of magic comes in person, it is nothing more than that.
"You seem to be looking good?"
Zuo Si looked at the princess lover lying on the bed with a big belly with great interest.
"Of course. After all, I am now the regent of the Kingdom of Cormyr and have the same power as the king."
Yaruseel raised his signet ring and shook it gently with a smile.
"Why did you come back to be this regent? You should know that the Kingdom of Cormyr is a complete mess."
Zuo Si walked straight to the bed and lifted the quilt, and put his hand on the bed as if no one was around. The swollen abdomen directly detects the fetus inside through divine power.
As a result, after passing through a strong interference energy field, he discovered a huge black shadow that appeared under arcane vision.
Not negative energy!
Not even shadow energy!
But pure darkness.
In the center of the darkness, there was a vague outline squirming.
There is no doubt that, like little Annie, this heir is also a living entity that has no fixed form for the time being.
Yalusel smoothed the hair hanging down by his ears and responded calmly: "Because this country is the hard work of my father and sister, I can't just watch it decline or even be divided and destroyed.
What's more, This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Don’t you want your child to be a king?
By the way, what happened to the child in my belly?”
"Not bad, although it may not be the same as you imagined."
Zuo Si used his fingers to leave a mark of his own on the bulging belly.
This allows him to monitor the condition of the fetus in real time and sense immediately during delivery and unexpected situations.
"Just like Aisha's child?"
Yalusel's eyes showed strong curiosity.
“Well, it’s almost the same, but the specifics are different.
Because when Annie was first born, she was a high-dimensional energy ball, and then began to change back and forth between different forms.
It was only recently that she finally stabilized and turned into a girl who looks about three years old.
Your child is a more abstract darkness.
I'm not sure what he'll be like when he's born.
But don't worry, I'll be back when the time comes. ”
Zuo Si covered the quilt again, bent down and kissed the other person's forehead to express closeness and comfort.
“Darkness?!”
Karadne grasped a key word keenly.
Zuo Si explained patiently: "How should I put it, it's a bit like some kind of abstract shadow or shadow.
But we won't know what it is until it is born.
In addition, considering safety issues, I suggest that it is best to keep all spellcasters away on the day of delivery.
If necessary, an anti-magic zone can be set up. "
"Understood, I will arrange it. "
Karadna showed a thoughtful look, and then immediately asked: "Do you have any plans regarding the inheritance of the throne of Cormyr? ”
“Do you even need to ask? ”
Zuo Si raised his head and stared into the eyes of the young chief mage, slightly releasing the pressure.
In an instant!
Karadne was sweating profusely, feeling as if a huge mountain was pressing on her head and she couldn't breathe.
It took a full minute for this oppressive feeling to disappear. She herself leaned against the wall without any image and breathed heavily. She suppressed the fear in her heart and finally asked: " What are you going to do with Asan V, who is still a baby?"
"I'm not a devil, don't think of me as cruel and bloodthirsty.
And there is no need to kill a baby who knows nothing.
When Yalusel and I’s child is born, we can send Asan V to another relatively wealthy and safe world, and live his life in a completely different identity.
He will have a happy family, adoptive parents and siblings who, although not related by blood, will treat him as his own.
How about it? Are you satisfied with the result? ”
Zuo Si raised his hand and released an illusion magic, fully displaying his arrangement.
Seeing this scene, both Karadna and Yalusel quickly relaxed a lot.
Because this is exactly what they can accept.
Being able to complete the transition of royal power in this bloodless way is undoubtedly a very ideal state.
Caradenai was even more afraid that Zuo Si would change his mind, so he quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, just do as you say. And how long will it take for Yalusel to give birth?"
"It's not clear. Because she is not carrying an ordinary human fetus. It can range from a few weeks to three to five months. This is based on Aisha's pregnancy period. It is difficult to say whether it is accurate or not. .”
After thinking for a while, Zuo Si gave an approximate deadline.
"Then what name do you want to give me?"
Yalusel pursed his lips and asked with a smile.
"No. I have to at least confirm the gender of the child first, and then I can decide what kind of name to give. Of course, if you think of a nice or meaningful name at that time, you can make your own decision in this regard. I'm still very open-minded."
When saying these words, Zuo Si showed a tolerance that was completely incompatible with his tyrant temperament.
Although strictly speaking, he is not the kind of person with difficulty who would die if he gave a name, but he also has no interest in naming everything around him.
Especially when it comes to naming children, he always feels that the mother who has done the most and suffered the most should actually have a say.
“Are you sure?”
Yalusel showed an extremely surprised expression.
After all, although the Kingdom of Cormyr is relatively equal between men and women, and even women can inherit property and noble titles, it is still essentially a typical patriarchal society.
Things like choosing a name are basically decided by men unless it is a bride-in-law or a woman is the head of the family.
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: "Yes, I am very sure. And this child will inherit the surname of Obaisqil and become the king of Cormyr in the future. It is best for you to decide."
"I am extremely grateful! Now I understand a little bit why Yalusel is so obsessed with you."
Karadenai obviously understood what kind of political signal this meant, and hurriedly bent He lowered his waist and bowed to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. If you encounter any difficulties, please just ask and I can satisfy you immediately."
Zuo Si made his promise straightforwardly.
“Can all the debts owed by the Cormyr royal family be forgiven?”
Yalusel asked in a half-joking tone.
"Of course, no problem. I can also give you an additional money order from the Temple of Wojin, the goddess of wealth, worth five million gold coins, which can be cashed at any time."
Said, Zuo Si directly Using quasi-divine power, he created a money order with his own mark out of thin air and placed it beside his bed.
With his current close alliance with Watkin, there would be no problem with adding a few zeros, not to mention a mere five million.
After all, with Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness, as a cash cow, a mere five million gold coins can probably be earned in a day or two.
There are too many women who want to be pregnant with his child, or men who want to get him pregnant.
“Five...five million?!”
Karadenai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Because of this money, many things that were impossible to do before can now be done easily.
For example, rectifying armaments, providing food necessary for survival for civilians who lost their homes in the war, repairing damaged castles and fortresses, allowing soldiers to wear better armor and armor, etc.
“Don’t be so surprised, money and all the resources you can imagine are almost unlimited for me.
The so-called wealth is just a bunch of meaningless currencies. It's just a matter of numbers.
If you want, I can even move a piece of gold the same size as Faerûn in an instant.
In addition, I also brought back some indestructible metal called vibranium.
You can try to craft some weapons or armor. ”
Zuo Si casually took out hundreds of heavy vibranium ingots and piled them into a hill with a faint light in the room.
As the Kingdom of Cormyr actually fell to him Naturally, there is no need to hide it anymore. We can directly start to strengthen the power of the royal family and let those rustic nobles taste the iron fist of despotism.
They want to cause trouble to weaken the power of the royal family. ?
Gain more power and political influence through private connections?
If you are not afraid of death, come and try it!
Yalusel, who was influenced by Zuo Si and advocated centralization, was not Assan IV who was indecisive internally.
When she has enough military power, she really dares to raise the butcher knife to uproot the entire aristocratic class, let those ancient families that boast a long history disappear forever, confiscate their property and land, and finally Achieve the goal of permanently changing the feudal system of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
"Indestructible? You mean these metals are as hard as gold?"
Karadna picked up one of the pieces and cast a detection spell.
“No, vibranium is far harder than adamantine.
And it can absorb almost all heat, energy and kinetic energy.
In other words, you can use The armor it creates can withstand magical attacks from the evocation system.
I think an elite army wearing vibranium armor and holding vibranium weapons and shields is definitely enough to deal with most of the problems inside and outside the Kingdom of Cormyr. ”
After saying that, Zuo Si turned sideways and glanced at the amount of vibranium in the room.
According to his estimation, this is almost enough to arm a nearly invulnerable army of about a thousand people.
In addition to the need to carefully control spells and directed spells, you can still fight against giants and dragons without falling behind.
