With the two god avatars gone, Zuo Si ordered his retinue and summoned creatures to clean up the battlefield, scavenging all the magic items, scrolls, and potions that the enemy had dropped after death.

He himself absorbed all the mana that remained in the air after the death of the members of the Church of Talona, and made several magic cards on the spot.

For example, the most commonly used [Silence Technique] for spellcasters, the [Deep Darkness Technique] that can be used in conjunction with the Phantom Legion to launch attacks, the [Blasphemy Technique] that fills an area with negative energy to make the undead stronger, and the [Hidden Faction] that can heal internal organs that are damaged and cannot be detected within twenty-four vanishes...... In short, the most useful of the 1st to 3rd Ring Divine Arts, and those that are not on the arcane casting list, are all made into cards with various attributes in the first place.

Because Zuo Si is not sure when the goddess of poison and disease will suddenly withdraw the priesthood and elect power that she has bestowed upon her.

Anyway, he now has plenty of mana on hand to squander. As for the realm of the priesthood, after careful consideration, the [Destruction Domain] and the [Suffering Domain] were chosen.

Because there are only four areas to choose from in the priesthood of Talona. thereinto

"Confusion" with

The "evil" realm has faction restrictions. And the magic is also mostly aimed at the orderly and good camp. Zuo Si is not one of those ambitious tyrants who either spend their days plotting to rule the world, or madmen who are eager to create chaos and kill.

You don't need to fight with the holy warriors, priests and believers of the Good God Church all day long. The main targets of his killings are the monsters and robbers of the evil and chaotic camp.

In particular, the endless goblins, goblins, bear goblins, orcs, gnolls, and undead creatures have long been regarded by Zuo Si as a stable source of mana.

"So...... Are you now the chosen one of the goddesses of poison and disease? After a long silence, Alena was the first to ask.

"That's right! Not only did she give me the unique power of the electorate, but she also gave me five pastoral ranks. Zuo Si nodded slightly.

"There won't be any hidden dangers, right?" Davidian's tone was full of concern. Because in Faeron, God means that if faith and conflict are related to them, they will inevitably encounter all kinds of dangers and troubles.

Zuo Si replied in a not very confident tone: "Probably not." Talona has been targeted by the god of suffering, Yinrmat, and it should be impossible for her to return to her incarnation anytime soon. As for her church and its followers, if they dare to trouble me, then kill them all. When he said this, Zuo Si's eyes revealed a naked and undisguised coldness.

Anyway, the goddess herself doesn't care about the lives of those priests and believers, so why should he? This can be glimpsed by the fact that Talona ruthlessly abandoned the high-ranking priests tonight and left alone.

"Uh...... I don't think there's any need to stiffen the relationship. After all, you are the chosen people, and God Himself has appointed the only spokesman in the physical world. Maybe you can try to profit from Lady Plague's church. ”… Ratter gives a different way of thinking.

Zuo Si glanced at this half-orc who always gave people a reckless image on weekdays, and immediately praised: "Not bad! I can't see that you are unexpectedly quite wise at a critical moment. Voter identity should still play a big role in some cases. ”

"Hey, hey! I learned this from the slave owners in Port Carlin. Although they don't like the Church of the Holy Warriors and the Good Deities, they will use the latter's power to maintain order and rule. Ritter scratched his head in embarrassment.

Obviously, he's not stupid, he just doesn't like to use his brain. Because the truly stupid ones simply can't survive long in the deceitful conditions of Port Carlin.

Just when Zuo Si was about to say something, Aroline, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally let out a moan, and then slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to get up from the ground and quickly look around, and it took about a minute or two before she asked aloud, "What happened during the time I was unconscious?" ”

"A lot has happened. The most important of these is the arrival of two incarnations of the gods. Zuo Si gave a straightforward answer.

"Has the incarnation of the God of Suffering really arrived? Oh, my God! Everything I saw in my dream turned out to be true! Aroline's mouth opened wide in surprise, and then quickly lowered her head to look at the rudimentary amulet hanging around her neck.

As a result, on the surface of the amulet, I saw dense criss-crossing scratches, as well as a little residual divine power on it.

Without any hesitation! The young paladin immediately knelt on the ground and kissed the amulet

"Stigmata" and prayed to Inmat sincerely. After a full three or five minutes, she spoke again cautiously and tentatively: "You really became a voter of Talona?" ”

"Hmm. Although it is not my own will, you should know that I cannot resist the will of a god. Zuo Si spread his hands helplessly.

"And what are you going to do next?" Arolyn continued.

"According to the original plan, I will return to Ascatra with the caravan to help Bernard solve the troubles in the Chamber of Commerce, and then leave for Candle Keep. Don't worry, I'm not interested in preaching on behalf of the goddess of poison and disease, and I don't have the slightest sense of identity with her ridiculous teachings. Zuo Si didn't hide anything, and showed his attitude generously.

Talona's teachings are too stretched, and they belong to the type that only makes people feel disgusted no matter how they are interpreted.

Because this guy emphasizes the negative forces of death and pain far more than survival and pleasure. All people in the world must have a greater respect for the former two.

At the same time, it is a straightforward threat, the power of disease and pestilence is in everyone's body. If you don't pray fervently and give all your riches, Talona will take your life through poison and pestilence.

What normal person with a normal brain and mental health would take such a greedy and selfish god as his lifelong faith?

Anyway, Zuo Si would rather go to the lake wall as an unbeliever after death, or go to sign a contract with the devil of hell and reincarnate directly as a devil after death, rather than go to the kingdom of Talona.

… These words immediately made Aroline smile with relief: "I'm relieved to hear you say that." Besides, you ordered me to be knocked out, probably to protect me from a conflict with the evil priest who can summon the Barlow Flame Demon, right? "I have to say that the paladin is really a bit inexplicably cute in terms of not holding grudges.

Even if you do something bad to them, as long as the motive is good, then a little explanation afterwards will be immediately forgiven.

Admiring Aroline's pure eyes without a trace of dirt, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile: "It's best if you can figure this out." My personality has determined that I don't like to go toe-to-toe with powerful enemies, especially if I don't have enough odds to win. Finally, after this incident, you have almost completed your mission and mission, right? ”

"Yes. The God of Suffering had just prayed to make it clear that I had completed the trial with distinction and had given me a Celestial Horse mount. As she spoke, Aroline immediately cast a spell-like ability, and through complex gestures and spells, she summoned a large warhorse with wings, white as snow all over her body, and full of sublime aura.

This creature is so beautiful, with two eyes shining with wisdom, it is completely different creatures compared to ordinary horses.

Aroline gently stroked the neck of the new mount and asked with a smile, "How?" It's great, isn't it? ”

"It's a good match for you. But what I'm trying to say is, now that you've completed your mission, are you going to embark on the journey back to Port Carlin? After going around in circles for a long time, Zuo Si finally tried to see the dagger.

Because after the God of Suffering appeared, the young lady paladin had lost her only purpose in the ranks.

In addition, it is very inconvenient to bring a paladin, and it will make you constrained, and you can't use the Phantom Legion and necromantic magic unscrupulously.

So Zuo Si can't wait to put it

"Send it away".

"Huh? I...... I didn't think about it. Arolyn was stunned. Seeing this, Zuo Si immediately hit the railroad while it was hot: "I think you should indeed return to Port Carlin and report to the temple priest what happened along the way." After all, it's been almost a month since you left your hometown. Neither your fellow church members nor your family members are quite worried. ”

"You seem to have a point...... "Arolyn had a thoughtful look on her face. As a young girl in her early twenties, this was the first time she had left her hometown of Port Carlin on a mission so far away.

Now that the mission is complete, there is really no reason to continue to follow the caravan north. Eventually, under the coaxing of Zuo Silian, the young paladin quickly made up his mind to mount the Celestial Horse and turned around and flew in the direction of Myratma.

She plans to board a ship at the port of Myratma and return directly to the turbulent port of Karin.

As soon as Aroline left on the front foot, Ritter breathed a sigh of relief on the back foot and whispered, "It's finally gone." You know, there's this little girl in the team, and I have to be careful not to swear even when I'm drinking. Otherwise, she would have been babbling in her ear for at least forty minutes. ”…

"Poofhahahaha! That's right! I couldn't agree more! Master, I advise you to stay away from these paladins in the future. We are not all the way to them. Alena laughed and echoed.

No way! One of these two people is considered to be a chaotic camp, and they are inherently not to deal with the holy warriors of the order camp.

Davidian, by contrast, remained as silent as ever. Although ingesting a large amount of red dragon blood made him a dragonborn, his calm personality was not affected in any way.

Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily: "Got it." In the future, I will try to avoid having paladins join the team. By the way, aren't Jahira and Khalid awake yet? Isn't it because you guys were too heavy and hit your brains? ”

"Master, they've been awake a long time ago, but they've been pretending to be unconscious." Shooter Handington suddenly interjected.

Moment! All eyes were on the two harpists lying on the ground. See yourself

The little trick of "pretending to be dead" was exposed, and Jahira immediately opened her eyes and sat up, took a deep breath and explained: "I'm not pretending to be unconscious, but I'm so shocked by what just happened that I don't know what to do." The arrival of two gods in incarnation is no small matter. And...... Have you really destroyed a world with the plague? ”

"Nope! Strictly speaking, the plagues destroyed only one magical civilization that practiced slavery, affecting a continent. And I didn't mean to, it all started with an accident. Zuo Si corrected in a serious tone.

He didn't want to hear someone call himself something like

"The Destroyer",

Titles like "The Destroyer".

"What's going on with your body? Why is Talona eager for you to be her voter anyway? Jahira asked, frowning.

From the harpist's point of view, Zuo Si can undoubtedly be directly classified as a dangerous element. Because regardless of his camp and subjective will, he himself has already posed a great threat to his surroundings and people.

"It's complicated on this point, and I'm not comfortable explaining it personally, you can ask Arowline or Inmart. In short, the god of suffering does not see me as a threat, and I hope that you harpists will not come to me for trouble. Otherwise, once the bottom line is reached, I will not hesitate to fight back, and henceforth see the Harpists League as an undying enemy. Zuo Si said this with a strong sense of threat and warning.

He understands that the Harpists League is not as kind and beautiful as the outside world rumores. Rather, it is an espionage organization that specializes in assassination, sabotage, intelligence gathering, and theft.

The number of factions within it and the chaos of its management are far beyond most people's imagination. Some of the more extreme guys will even take rash action when they think the target is threatening.

As a result, many nations and city-states regarded the Harperist League and the Santarim Society as a cocoon dog. It is believed that these two organizations, like each other, have a considerable negative impact on their own rule and social stability.

At the same time, a decree was issued that any member of the party would be arrested immediately and that he would be executed on the spot without trial.

… Jahira understood what Zuo Thought was trying to express, and immediately reassured: "Don't worry. Since the God of Suffering himself has come forward to vouch for it, we harpists will not easily trouble you. But are you sure you can really control the dangerous things in your body? ”

"Of course! They are now completely under my control. As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and released a black energy mass that radiated an evil aura like a flame.

In the center of the energy cluster, a faint hint of dark red can be seen. Black doesn't need to ask to know that it is the divine power bestowed by Talona, while red represents the power of the late murder god Baal.

In order to prove that he has the ability to control this terrifying force, Zuo Si quickly shapes the energy mass into various shapes.

During the whole process, the terrible viruses, bacteria and toxins contained in it were not leaked at all.

"Unbelievably evil! It's creepy! Seeing this, Jahira only felt her scalp tingle, and she couldn't imagine the catastrophic consequences that would have happened if this thing had fallen on a person or other creature.

"I totally agree with you." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Si's mouth, and then the words suddenly changed: "But don't you think it would be very interesting if this power was used against those evil monsters, such as orcs, gnolls, goblins, ogres, and trolls?" I think you should be afraid not of the power itself, but of the people who use it. ”

"No...... No...... Wrong! You should not use this force. Because it will slowly erode your mind and thinking. Khalid stammered back.

"Maybe." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, neither expressing his agreement nor the slightest intention to refute or explain.

Because he intended to pass from the beginning

"Sparks" to digest and absorb the two divine powers in the body and transform them into something of their own. Therefore, no matter what attributes these divine powers have before, they will become part of the power system of the traveling mage like other energies after the transformation is completed.

In fact, as early as ten minutes ago, when the incarnation of the God of Suffering left, Zuo Si was already trying to use it

The "spark" has transformed its divine power. It's just that the efficiency of the transformation is very low, and it may be the same

The "spark" level is still too low, and it is estimated that it will take up to several years to complete. No doubt!

Zuosi's philosophy in this regard is in clear conflict with that of Jahira and Khalid as harpists.

So after a brief chat, the two sides unanimously chose to be silent. Realizing that she couldn't change the mind of the Talona voter in front of her, Jahira volunteered to leave.

Because she had to report the news to the higher echelons of the Harpists League as soon as possible. After all, these two men joined in the first place to make sure that the contents of the box were not stolen by the church of Shirek.

Now that the chest has been opened, the heart belonging to the murder god Bal has lost its divine power and become worthless, so there is naturally no need to stay.

Quite the opposite! If someone can salvage the heart of Baal near the harbor of Baldur's Gate. … Does that mean that in other parts of the bay, there are hands, feet, eyes, or other internal organs hidden?

"Parts"? After all, the god of murder, Baal, after foreseeing his own death, left countless heirs all over the continent of Faeron without any discipline.

Even rabbits, foxes, wolves, and other non-intelligent beasts are not spared. There is no guarantee that he will not deliberately scatter the residual organs and limbs to all corners of the world after death.

When the time comes, use these evil gadgets to cause killing, so that mortals can be reminded of Baal's terrifying name, and then resurrected themselves.

For God, as long as believers have not forgotten themselves and are still influential in the physical world, then they will not really die.

"Master, will you let them go like this? I think it would be safer to kill people. "Alena is clearly murderous towards Jahira and Khaled.

She could feel the attitude of the two harpists, and the hostility that inadvertently flowed out. But Zuo Si shook his head with a smile: "Forget it." In this world, killing people is not necessarily the way to kill people. It's fairly easy for a high-level spellcaster to get the message they want from the mouth of a dead person. Other than that, the backstage of the Harpists League is too strong. I don't want to go up against them unless I have to. What's more, Khalid and Jahira you are much more important than you think. With all the outsiders gone, Ritter was the only one left in the team who wasn't a minion.

However, he apparently didn't care about this, and he took out a bottle of wine from somewhere, raised his head and took a sip, looking a little complacent.

Especially after the red dragon and the strange thing joined the team, this guy even had his task of guarding the drow elf captives canceled, and he would secretly take two sips when he was idle.

Zuo Si did not interfere with this. Because unlike Alena, who is prone to getting drunk and making trouble, Rhett has a significantly better physique and has never really been drunk.

The group returned to the camp next to the ruins of Fort Tesser, with a large amount of loot. Zoth didn't tell Bernard what had happened, but said that he had encountered a group of robbers and sent him to sleep.

After daybreak, the greedy merchant led his men to the battlefield last night, bringing with them all the weapons and armor that were still worth recycling.

I plan to find a blacksmith to repair it briefly when I arrive in Zazespor, and then sell it to local adventurers or the army.

After all, all weapons and armor that can be used by a group of warriors, thieves, assassins, mages, and priests with a high professional level are basically high-quality or have some magical characteristics without exception.

…… Following the main road, the caravan marched forward for another three days, finally reaching the titular capital of the kingdom of Tesser.

As the only one in the country with a permanent population of more than 100,000

The "big" city, the city of Zazespor is divided in half by the Surdas River, and the first impression is that it is lively and prosperous.

However, as with Myratma, the number of arcane casters here is quite small. There are only three or five towering mage towers to be seen within the city limits.

… There are very few people in the market who sell or buy magical items. Although the city is nominally the capital of the Kingdom of Tether, the country does not even have a nominal supreme ruler, so it is now called by one

The institutional rule of the "lord's ruling council". To put it simply, it is like the ancient Roman Senate on earth

"Noble Republic". It is precisely because it is full of internal power and interest struggles, and it is impossible to unify its voice, so Dazazespor is one of the very few regions that has declared its neutrality to the outside world and has not been involved in the country's civil war.

Countless people displaced by the war have fled their homes and sought refuge here. The streets are littered with ragged beggars and scrawny refugees.

But

The "Lord's Council" was a bit humane and didn't let these poor people starve to death.

A small piece of brown bread and a bowl of salty and sticky porridge are offered every evening day.

They usually do not stay in the city for long, and are soon reassigned to villages and estates in the countryside to engage in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Those with technology, knowledge and craftsmanship will be absorbed by the city's workshops, chambers of commerce and other institutions. Since slavery was nominally forbidden in the Kingdom of Tether, the worst case scenario was to sign a contract for ten to twenty years

"Employment Contract", or as it is called

A "deed of sale" is also fine.

"We were lucky that it didn't rain on the way. Otherwise, it would not be easy for a wagon full of goods to get bogged down in a quagmire and push it out. The mercenary captain sighed slightly as he walked down the street.

But Bernard was clearly not so optimistic, instead looking at the dark clouds above him and said: "I'm more worried about the second half than the first half." Whether it's over the Star Swirl Mountains or through the Forest of Verdas, both sections are more difficult to walk. If it rains heavily, we're going to be stuck here for days. ”

"That's something you can't help but do. Rather than that, I'd rather find a hotel to take a hot shower, eat a decent meal, and get a good night's sleep. Zuo Si's face showed a hint of exhaustion.

Of course, this is not physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion. Maybe it's because of the pressure too much recently, or maybe it's because he doesn't fit in after becoming a voter, in short, he has been in a tense state for the past two days, and he can't even write a diary to relieve his tense nerves.

Yes! The reason why Zuo Si developed the habit of writing a diary

On the one hand, the habit of "improper" is to release the accumulated pressure and keep one's mind in a relatively healthy state.

After all, whether as a traverser or a traveling mage, he has quite a lot of secrets hidden in his heart, and there is no way to find someone to talk to.

And journaling has become a channel for venting. And by reading what he had written before, Zuo Si was able to judge his mental state at that time.

Then after a slight comparison, he could immediately perceive the changes in his thoughts and consciousness over time.

This has a very significant effect on preventing the assimilation of the natives of another world into one of them.

… I don't know if it's Bernard

"Crow's beak", since he finished worrying about the rain, the clouds above his head began to drop raindrops.

In desperation, the caravan could only charter a decent inn nearby to live in first. While Bernard was busy directing everyone to carry the goods to the rainless yard, and by the way, untie the reins of the horses and send them to the livestock shed to feed them.

Zuo Si's small team sat down at the table in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel early and began to flip through the menu served by the maid.

Suddenly! For some reason, the half-orc Ritter suddenly let out an exclamation, pointed to the last few pages of the menu and said, "Oh my God! Are these things really for people to eat? Four loaves of bread cost ten silver coins! It's nothing short of a robbery! ”

"What is this. Look at these expensive cakes, a box costs a gold coin. It is known as the elf bread made by the elves of Yongju Island, and it is a pair of gold coins. Alena soon noticed an anomaly in the hotel's menu.

You must know that in most places in Faerun, a few copper coins can fill the stomach of a strong man with a height of two meters, and there will definitely be no shortage of meat in the meal.

As for bread, it is usually four to five pieces of copper coins. The fierce and undoubted reaction of the two aroused Zuo Si's interest.

He took a quick glance at the menu and found that the inn not only sold expensive cakes and breads, but even noodles, a specialty from Karatu in the Far East.

And less than half a kilogram costs an outrageous price of fifteen gold coins. At the end of the menu, there is also a sign with a woman's side face.

And this sign, Zuo Si also saw at the stall of Elsa, a merchant of magical goods in Port Carlin. It symbolizes the Aurora Magic Shop, a chain of stores that specialize in selling high-priced magical items, scrolls, potions, and luxury goods in major cities on the west coast of the continent of Faeren.

It is said that the owner of the Aurora Magic Shop is a very powerful female mage named Aurora.

Not only did her footprints spread throughout the Faeron Continent, but she even maintained close ties with many plane merchants.

It is often possible to get some strange but at the same time very precious and rare things from other material planes, even hell, abyss, heavenly mountain, astral plane, elemental plane, imprint city, etc.

Whoever you pay a large franchise fee can announce that you are a member of the Aurora Magic Shop.

At the same time, it can also be purchased from the channel located in the headquarters of Waterdeep City at a relatively low price. Zuo Si had heard Elsa talk about the operation of the Aurora Magic Shop, but he didn't expect that an inn in Zazespor would be willing to spend so much money to be it

"Wronged". He even wondered how many people in the city could afford a bowl of noodles for fifteen gold coins, or elven bread for two gold coins each.

However, driven by curiosity, Zuo Si still ordered a bowl of noodles from Karatu from the Eastern Continent and two elf breads for everyone in the disbelief eyes of Rite and Alena.

When the food was served, the halfling chef and owner, who looked only half as tall as a normal person, even ran out of the back kitchen himself, wanting to see this guest who had spent more than a hundred gold coins on a single meal.

…

"Damn! It's crazy! I bet it was definitely the most expensive meal I've ever had in my life. Looking at the large bowl of noodles and two loaves of bread in front of him, Ritter couldn't help but whisper.

"Trust me, just take a sip and you'll be instantly conquered by the subtle tastes and think they're worth the money." The halfling boss swore an oath.

Just as he was about to explain to these wealthy guests how to eat noodles. Suddenly, I found that Zuo Si on the side had already added seasonings to the bowl with very skillful movements, and used two small wooden sticks to pick up the noodles without any obstacles and ate them slowly.

The latter commented while eating: "Too much ginger and garlic are put in, which slightly destroys the umami and texture of the seafood soup itself." The noodles themselves are a bit too hot, and they are not soaked in cold water after they come out of the pot, otherwise they should be more vigorous. Let's barely give it a passing grade. Sure enough, my expectations were too high? "Instantly!

The half-man boss was shocked by this rather professional review, and was speechless. After a full half a minute, he cautiously asked, "Your Excellency, have you been to the headquarters of the Aurora Magic Store in Waterdeep?" Or have you been to the distant eastern continent of Karatu? ”

"I've been to Karatu." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied. After a few mouthfuls of steaming noodle soup, his tense nerves unexpectedly relaxed.

Maybe it's the food itself that makes the brain happy, or maybe it's the familiar taste of home at work.

In short, the indescribable exhaustion has finally eased. Based on this alone, more than a hundred gold coins were not spent in vain.

The halfling boss nodded suddenly: "I see." I'm sorry, but there aren't a few people here a year who are willing to spend fifteen gold coins for a meal of pasta, so my craftsmanship is inevitably a little rusty. Zuo Si smiled very reasonably: "It's okay. There's no way around it, but I'm a little curious, what made you want to join the Aurora Magic Shop? You must know that if you don't do magic items, it will be almost impossible to make any profit just by selling expensive luxury goods and food. ”

"Alas—it all came from an unattainable dream. When I was younger, I used to travel around as a thief and worked as an adventurer for a while. Later, by chance, at the headquarters of the Aurora Magic Store in Waterdeep City, I tasted these jaw-dropping delicious foods. Since then, I've vowed to bring all the food back to my hometown so that more people can taste it. But who would have thought that all this would come to naught with the fire of Fort Tesserel more than ten years ago. The death of the king led to the entire country plunged into turmoil and civil war. Almost all the aristocracy invested their money in the bottomless pit of armaments, and simply did not buy luxury goods and delicacies in large quantities as before. Now, not to mention fifteen gold coins for a bowl of noodles, or a simple set meal for two copper coins, many people can't afford to eat it. "At the mention of the civil strife in the Tesser's kingdom in the last ten years, the halfling boss couldn't help but sigh.

… As we all know, high value-added luxury goods are very dependent on high-end consumers. If this group of people suddenly changes their consumption concept and no longer invests their money in these meaningless things, then the original market will shrink rapidly.

In addition, the Aurora Magic Shop itself does not produce these things, but goes directly to the origin to purchase them through teleportation magic.

Not to mention anything else, just letting a high-level mage be a delivery man, or building a stable portal in two places, is destined to make the price of these noodles from Karatu definitely not too low.

There is neither a market nor room for price reductions. The difficulty of the halfling boss can be seen from this.

"Then why not change places? Why do you head south to the thriving city of Port Carlin, or north to Ascatla, the gold capital? Both cities should have enough aristocrats and wealthy merchants who would be happy to pay a fortune for exotic cuisine. Zuo Si asked with interest.

But the halfling boss shook his head with a wry smile: "Do you think I haven't thought about it?" Ascatra is full of Shadow Thieves Guild members. It's hard for an outsider like me to just get a foothold. And the Aurora Magic Store also has members on Am's side. According to the agreement, it is impossible for me to steal business with them. As for Port Carlin, the environment is not as good as that of Askatra. Zuo Si smiled meaningfully and shook his head and asked, "Why do you have to cooperate with the Aurora Magic Shop?" Noodles are made by mixing wheat flour, water, and a small number of additives together to make the final noodle by stretching. There's nothing inherently difficult about the technology. I can even give dozens of recipes and recipes for different flavors. As for the Shadow Thieves, don't worry, I can help you get rid of them. ”

"What do you mean......" The halfling boss's eyes lit up slightly, as if he saw hope of getting out of the current predicament.

"I mean, look, why don't we work together to open a food shop in Askatra. I'll pay for it, I'll put the technology and the trouble out there, and you'll take care of the business and make all the food. As for the profit earned, we have three or seven points. I'll take seventy percent, and you take thirty percent. Zuo Si threw out his thoughts bluntly.

Obviously, he did this on the fly. Even if you can't make any money, at least you can satisfy your appetite.

To know the hellish place of the Feren Continent,

There are so many "dark dishes" that you never know how bad your next bite will be.

Moreover, inns, taverns and other places were originally excellent places to inquire about all kinds of gossip.

If you can have a tavern or inn of your own, it is equivalent to having a stable source of information.

Occasionally, you can also use the method of issuing commissions to ask adventurers and mercenaries from all walks of life to help complete some tasks that are inconvenient to appear in person.

"Hmm...... Sounds like a pretty good look. Can you give me a few days to think about it? The halfling boss was visibly moved.

"Of course! You can come to me at any time before the caravan leaves. After saying this, Zuo Si gave the other party a look full of encouragement, and then got up and walked towards the room upstairs.

He believed that with such favorable conditions, this halfling would definitely figure it out. …… Meanwhile, far away near the ruins of Fort Tessel, two sneaky figures were taking a closer look at the place where the two gods had incarnated not long ago.

After a full minute, the taller man couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn! What the hell is going on in this place? Why is there a large number of corpses of church members over there, but there are obvious signs of a battle here, but there is not even a single corpse to be found? ”

"Maybe it's buried or disposed of?" The other guessed in a slightly muffled voice.

The former shook his head vigorously: "No! When pigs fly! If it is buried, there must be traces of being dragged and new soil turned over. I suspect something terrible is happening here. ”

"According to the information obtained in Myratma, the two harpists who had fled from Port Carlin appeared to be in this caravan. Maybe we'll find them first, and then we'll get more information through interrogation and torture. ”

"Great idea! We should leave for Zazespor now, and get things sorted out before they enter the Star Swirl Mountains, which has complex terrain. ”

"I have a hunch! If the investigation goes well and we get important information, you and I will be appreciated by the big people in the inner ring, and we will be on the rise from then on. ”

"Hey, hey! I hope to become a big man in the inner ring one day. You know? Recently, many high-level officials, including His Excellency Manson, have been in trouble over the issue of faith. ”

"Yes! I've heard that. Bane, the god of tyranny, is clearly dead, but there are still some guys who don't know the times and still refuse to believe in Shirek, the king of lies. But we're different, right? ”

"That's right! Praise the great dark sun! ”

"Praise the great dark day!".
