But smart rulers should not use it unscrupulously as a conventional weapon.
Instead, we must use people's fear of it to establish law, rules and order.
Through subtle influence, the ruled can accept all this and regard it as a normal state.
Kalingshan has maintained slavery for thousands of years, and Sel, who is completely controlled by the red robe mage, are very good examples.
Smarter rulers can also use public opinion and propaganda to confuse right and wrong, distort people's perceptions, and make them subjectively believe that today's 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 they must 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 strength.
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 you make good use of this public psychology, you 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 the people under your rule pride, honor, and self-confidence, 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 Calimshan, Tethyr, Amn and West Heartland regions.
After completing the integration of the southern region, I will officially march to the north, using the trade alliance as a link to force those independent towns and noble lords to choose 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 be willing to return to the poor and primitive state before.
I will use practical actions to prove to you that real competition is never limited to military aspects.
In many cases, economic means can often be more concealed than the threat of force, greatly reducing the resistance of ordinary people.
It even deliberately leads and intensifies 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 any effort, and then voluntarily become part of the empire through collective voting."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and explained his ideas and plans openly.
However, these words were not entirely addressed to Fuzor Chambery, but also to Bane, the god of tyranny who was planning to make major changes behind the scenes.
Because he needs the other church to expand on his own territory, and even become a symbol of the legitimacy of his rule, in order to check and balance the forces of the chaotic and good camps.
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.
For a period of time, there was strong xenophobia and a general spirit of resistance.
They stubbornly believe that all external forces have the ultimate goal of enslaving themselves, so they are often extremely vigilant against any expansion and annexation.
This is why there has never been a country in this region in modern times, and 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 Faerun, 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.
Although the areas around Baldur's Gate and West Heartland seem to be fragmented now, they 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.
In order 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 used the power of the goddess of wealth, Woking, to build a trade alliance, and first let the residents of the North 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 poverty-stricken and fearful days of the past.
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 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 Northland for hundreds or even thousands of years were all attributed to the Lords Alliance and the Harper Alliance, making the civilians begin to dislike and even hate them.
After all, Zuo Si has many successful cases and experiences to learn from when it comes to inciting opposition, intensifying social conflicts, and wielding the big 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 the combo was used.
Fuzuo Er Qianberry nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I think I understand what you mean.
Rest assured, Great Bane appreciates your ambition and means, and I will also deploy 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 define 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 Fu Zouer 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 powerful 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.
Among them, the churches in the towns near the Northland were personally appointed by Fuzoul Chamberry, but from now on the south of Wan Ting River must be controlled by Zuo Si himself.
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.
Among them, the part led by Aigason Nasere 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 a terrifying tyranny.
;
This section led by Fuzor Chambery 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, they will naturally 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.
The war of the sea.
I hope we can join forces again and attack from both sides, one from the south and the other from the north.
Take the former elven kingdom of Cormanthor and even the valley into your pocket, and let it bathe 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. Coupled with other local 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 valley still lives with the souls of Elminster, Storm Silverhand and Sheeren.
I don’t want to have too fierce a 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 shame."
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! Are you trying to kill him?
Did you kill this dying golden dragon?"
"What, is there a problem?
She was too seriously injured. Unless the powerful curse near the wound was first removed, and then some high-level regeneration and healing magic were used, it would be impossible to save her.
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, Fuzoer Chamberry's eyes shone with coldness and cruelty.
Just like the good-aligned Elminster killed many evil chromatic dragons in his life, he also killed many metal dragons in his long life.
Among them, the golden dragon and silver dragon, the reckless teenagers who had just left the shelter of their parents and had no idea how high the sky was and who were full of passion for the cause of justice, had 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 influences.
Her soul is so clean, not contaminated by any impurities.
If you can exert influence to change its cognition, thoughts and consciousness, it can change it from white, which symbolizes purity and kindness, to evil black.
The most important thing is, don’t you think this little development game in which the proud golden dragon gradually changes into its own shape is interesting?”
"So...you want to rescue and adopt this teenage golden dragon?"
Fu Zou Er Chambery raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
He always liked to use his power to suppress others, and he could not understand Zuo Si's way of thinking and the bad taste revealed from his bones.
"Why not? Anyway, idle time is idle."
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 out of its chin.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
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 me is only a teenage girl, and it will take at least several decades to grow something like a beard.
"Okay, whatever you want.
However, I have to remind you that the Golden Dragon is very social, and they will most likely send manpower 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 let’s talk about it ahead of time. If you cause trouble in the future, don’t come after me.”
Having said that, Fuzoul Chamberry ended the conversation and marched with his troops and prisoners toward the city a few kilometers away that no longer had any defenders.
After all Zhentil Fort's troops disappeared from sight, Zuo Si walked up to the adult golden and silver dragons who were tied into rice dumplings by chains and dying due to excessive blood loss. He said in a slightly playful tone: "Very good."
I'm 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."
"The invasion of Zhentil Keep was your conspiracy?"
The male golden dragon stared angrily and asked.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right! I was the one who provided Fuzuoer 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 a savior, and bring prosperity and stability to more people.
Could it be that you haven’t 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.
There was not even forced labor and large-scale conversion of prisoners of war into slaves as before.
It just established the temple of Bane and then 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 Chambery and the Zhentil Fort army led by him are just pawns being manipulated! You are 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.
"Yes, I have already discussed this with Elminster.
As for you, you are just a group of abandoned chess pieces.
If you do not 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 shouldn't 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 don't need to ask to know that he plans to directly use psychic magic to tamper with the memories of the two giant dragons.
"You want to kill us?"
The male golden dragon struggled to break free of the chains on his body in a desperate struggle.
But he was too weak. Apart from causing a lot of blood to bleed from the wound, 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.
Seeing 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, a little
Just be patient and it will pass."
"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!"
Instantly!
A little black and white puppy that was almost invisible lying in the grass suddenly jumped out and hit the former's head like a cannonball.
Boom!!!!!!!!!
The male golden dragon jumped into the air in response to the sound, flew back several meters, and broke several trees as thick as a bowl in succession. It sprayed blood from its mouth, eyes and nose.
When he struggled to raise his head to figure out what was going on, he suddenly found that the puppy that hit him was lying less than half a meter away, with an extremely evil, deep and crazy light shining in his eyes.
p>
Especially the saliva flowing out of 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.<
/p>
Moreover, 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... this is the ancient evil Chaos Dog Demon - Kozif? You can actually control it!"
"Haha, do you know now how big the strength gap between us is? So stop struggling pointlessly and let me get this matter settled quickly so that 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 already 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 its 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's care and care.
As for themselves, they quickly flew away from the battlefield to find their companions to meet up 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 other party does, 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 we did not choose to make it into a summoning creature card.
Once it becomes a summoned creature, it will be tightly bound to the planeswalker's spark. 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 several recovery and treatment types such as [Restoration Technique], [Medical Technique], and [Regeneration Technique] in one go.
Divine magic.
Since the vitality of giant dragons is much higher than that of other creatures, two to three times the number of ordinary healing spells are often needed to cure them who are seriously injured and dying.
Like low-level treatment of minor injuries, when used on humanoids, the wound can often heal and stop heavy bleeding.
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 it is precisely because of this that 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 this golden dragon girl is undoubtedly lucky.
She met Zuo Si, a legendary priest with powerful healing skills.
Accompanied by the dazzling white light, he was out of danger in just a few minutes.
The torn wings, broken necks, limbs, tails and spines after the violent impact 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 does not mean that it will be much better than a simple death.
After a slight groan, the young golden dragon finally slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
She stood up in disbelief and moved her body first, then turned her eyes to Zuo Si, who was close at hand, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Human, was it you who saved me?"
"Well, yes. I saw you lying here seriously 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 treasure in the future, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace.
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Gorsaniya."
The young Jinlong obviously felt a little embarrassed because he could not pay the reward immediately.
No way!
Who told her that she was just a teenager who had just left the shelter of her parents and set off on her own?
Normally, at this age, whether it is an evil color dragon, a kind metal dragon, or a neutral gem dragon, it is difficult to accumulate any wealth.
Most of them cannot even build and defend their own nests, and are still in a state of adventure 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 has accepted the employment of the Red Shield Chamber of Commerce, the ruler of Sknubel.
Since 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 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 and conceited dragons regard this blood-selling behavior 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 spell-casting 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, being hired by 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 allows them to often gain 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: "I'm glad to meet you, Gelsanya. But there's no need to repay you, because you still have a small problem that you haven't solved yet."
"What's the problem?"
The golden dragon girl quickly checked her body and blinked in confusion.
"Due to some unknown curse, you are now unable to fly."
A hint of cunning that was hard to detect 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 the limbs left the ground, the next second there was a loud bang and he fell headfirst into the mud.
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 was so dizzy that he couldn't get up. Then he lay on the ground dejectedly and cried bitterly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
>
My dragon life is completely over!
A golden dragon that cannot fly?
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 it will start to subside on its own after a while.
And I will also try to conduct some research to help you find a way to relieve it.
If you don’t mind, you can live with me for a while.”
"You mean...my flying ability can still be saved?!"
Garsania suddenly stopped crying and leaned her huge head over. Her tearful eyes actually looked a bit cute, but the snot spurting out of her nostrils was a bit disgusting.
"Of course! I will try 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, and then chanted a spell to release the [Transformation] three times a day, quickly transforming from a slender and elegant teenage golden dragon into a handsome young man.
She looked like an elf girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, with long golden hair. She burst into laughter 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!"
"Good person? Haha... you are the first to call me that."
The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic and self-deprecating smile, making him look like he was abducting an underage girl.
It's a pity that Garsania couldn't 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 straightforwardly stated his name in this world.
"Soth? Hmm - I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Garsania let go of her arms and began to look up and down at the young human standing in front of her. She frowned and began to think hard.
Obviously, since she just left the protection of her parents and entered the human world, she knows 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, and I am somewhat famous on the west coast of Faerun."
Garsania's eyes instantly lit up and she exclaimed loudly: "Ah! I remembered it!
You, King Shane VII, and the Three Holy Alliance cooperated in Kalingshan in the south to abolish the slavery system that had lasted for thousands of years in that land.
Many Golden Dragons, including my parents, appreciated this and thought it was a great leap forward for justice.
Moreover, the Nelanthal Islands and Luskan under your rule are also very good to civilians. Even the disabled 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, he did not expect that the other party had already been observing him.
After all, these guys often change into various humanoid forms when they enter the city.
Unless they reveal their identity, it is basically difficult to detect.
"More than just being famous!
A small group of younger Golden Dragons even believe 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 believe that it is too early to make a judgment and more observation and waiting are 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 Golden Dragon clan.
I also learned that the metal dragon of the good camp, which had been silent all this time, did not notice his existence, but was hiding in the dark for long-term observation.
Maybe in Luskan, the Neransir Islands and the current Amn Empire, there are some golden or silver dragons transformed into humans, elves or half-elves, and some of them may even have become members of the bureaucracy.
One member.
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.
It took several minutes before one of them couldn't help but break the silence and asked directly: "Are you sure that the information was correct? Has Sazastan obtained a treasure that can turn mortals into gods?"
"I don't know! This information was disseminated from the Zhentarim. It is difficult to judge whether it is true or false."
Another chief kept twiddling his ten fingers and replied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It can be seen that he is not at all calm inside right now, and can even be said to be nervous and uneasy.
"Don't worry! I've already sent someone to confirm! News should come back soon."
Aznar Sruel, Szazastan's main enemy within the Red Wizards, tried to appease the emotions of his allies.
Unfortunately, because the news was so explosive, 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 Vesalun became a little crazy because of this, let alone them.
Just when the secret room fell into silence again, a high-level Tour Master 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 nodded quickly and responded: "I'm very sure!
Not long ago, Sazastan and the troops he mobilized returned to their base.
And according to the report of the spies we placed beside him, the two artifacts [Death Moon Orb] and [Sakosil's Seat] have been handed over to Soth as bargaining chips.
So it can’t be wrong!
Sazastan really got a treasure that could make a mortal become a god.
However, if you want to use this treasure, you still need corresponding knowledge.
This knowledge lies in Velsharon's hands.
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.
After all, Velsharon can be considered the enemy of my enemy.
There is no way to resolve the grudge between him and Sazastan, and they can even form an alliance if necessary."
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 express their agreement, but all fell into deep thought.
Since Vesalun was expelled a long time ago, most of the later chiefs had little impression of this "old-timer", let alone understanding.
The only thing that is known is that he once fought with Sazastan for the leadership of the Necronomicon Faction, and that 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.
In particular, the ability of immunity to nine rings of time stop, which comes from the Chosen of the Goddess of Magic, has directly abolished 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 great sage Elminster of Shadow Valley, the Storm Queen Ximbu, the Black Staff of Kelburn and other voters also got the news immediately.
Not long after he returned to his hometown, Ovo, the fat man who 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.
