Sir South...... I have to admit that the way you played was a huge surprise for me. Because of all the banquets I've attended and held in my life, you're the first to use dragons as a means of transportation. ”

Sir Christian struggled to resist his fear of the behemoth in front of him, trying to appear calm and composed, and trying to create a light-hearted and humorous atmosphere with his words.

Of course, if his legs and arms hidden in the wide sleeves didn't shake so much, the effect would have been a little better.

No way!

The dragon's dragon power is not exempt even for low-level professionals, let alone ordinary people who don't even have a professional level.

Being able to stand in front of an adult green dragon and not immediately turn around and flee can already be regarded as quite courageous.

In any case, Sir Christian had also seen the scene of the White Dragon Raid and the Hundred-legged Demon Worm Charge in the Cloud Mountains, and he still had the courage to do so.

Zuo Si smiled and patted the green dragon's head, signaling it to go to the woods to avoid the eyes of humans, and then walked closer and explained with a smile: "I am also forced to do this. You should know that it takes at least two days to get from Askatla, even on horseback. And I hadn't been here before, so I couldn't use teleportation magic, so I had to fly over on a dragon. ”

"Hahahaha! Well, it seems that I didn't think it through, and I should have sent a carriage to pick you up from the castle in advance. ”

As the green dragon disappeared into the night, Sir Christian finally recovered and took the responsibility for the little riot on his own initiative.

Obviously, he ignored the very different way of thinking between the caster and the ordinary nobles.

The biggest difference between the two is that the latter usually cares about "decency" and "pomp", while the former cares about efficiency.

You must know that in the few minutes that the dragon landed, many of the horses in the barn next to it began to run away due to fright, and the servants who were in charge of caring for the horses chased after them.

After all, many of these horses are noble stallions used by the guests who come to the banquet to pull carts, and the price of each one will not be less than a thousand gold coins.

If you lose it, losing money is a trivial matter, but losing face to the owner is a big thing.

Standing at the door and exchanging a few words, Sir Christian immediately pulled Zuo Si into the living room of the manor house.

As soon as they entered the door, the guests who were still whispering stopped all their movements and turned their eyes to the door.

To be exact, it was thrown at Zuo Si, the elect of the goddess of poison and magic.

Although he has not been in Ascatra for a long time, he has already done a lot of things that have made these top elites feel awk-dropping.

In particular, he used the attack on the envoys to suppress Baldur's Gate and force it to make huge concessions, which successfully won the praise of many big nobles and chambers of commerce.

The reason for today's banquet is not to ask him how to suppress his rivals without starting a war, but also to accept the idea of formally entering the circle of the upper ruling class of Am.

Out of the basic courtesy and responsibility of the host, Sir Christian first introduced Zuosi's identity to all the guests, and then directly blocked all the guys who tried to come forward to talk to him, and quickly came to the study on the second floor. …

More than 20 middle-aged and elderly men and women who looked to be from 40 to 60 years old had been waiting here for a long time.

You don't need to ask to know that they are the true rulers of the country at their feet, and they are also the leaders of the major families.

In addition to this, there should be a six-member reviewer hidden in it.

Sir Christian took the trouble to introduce Zuosi one after another.

This whole process alone lasted more than ten minutes.

But no one showed any impatience, but waited patiently with a smile on their faces.

When it was all over, an old man who looked to be in his early sixties spoke first, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are among the most powerful families in Am, and many of them have a history dating back to the end of the Kalinshan Shanchan dynasty.

The reason why we are gathered here today is understandable to all of you.

Not long ago, during the negotiations with Baldur's Gate, the Honourable Soth, the chosen voter of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, taught us all a lesson with his great wisdom and political skill.

He got at the negotiating table what we failed to get on the battlefield, and that was to force Baldur's Gate to make significant concessions on trade and tariffs.

There is no doubt that this time, both in terms of diplomatic operations and in the economic field, our competitors have suffered a big loss.

In particular, the chambers of commerce in other cities and regions raised the prices of daily necessities, completely divided and disintegrated the relationship between the people at the bottom of the Baldur's Gate and the merchant class, gave us a new way of thinking, and also succeeded in intensifying the contradictions between the peasants in the city and the surrounding areas.

Because of this, the stupid and greedy dukes of Baldur's Gate had to choose to retreat.

for the foundations of their rule have been shaken.

Through this example, we can summarize many useful lessons and then apply them to other competitors.

After all, starting a war is the stupidest thing to do.

Not only is the cost of investment too high, but even if you win, you may not get what you want. ”

"I couldn't agree more." Another forty-year-old man with a beard nodded slightly. "It is always more profitable for us to gain control of trade in a certain area than to actually occupy and manage it. This is a truth that has been proven a long time ago. And in the economic sphere, apart from the oligarchs of Sambia, there is no country or city-state that is an opponent of Am. ”

"That's right! That is why we have invited His Excellency Soss to be here today. He came from another world and possessed a lot of insight and valuable knowledge that we don't know about. The female nobleman in her fifties next to her also echoed.

"So, can you please explain to us how you made such an accurate judgment in the first place in a complicated situation?" The old man at the head asked politely with a smile on his face.

Zuo Si nodded lightly: "Of course." Actually, it's not as complicated as you might think.

There are only a few options to put pressure on an independent political entity.

The first is the well-known military pressure, that is, the use of strong violence to make the other side feel the threat of destruction and death, and finally have to back down because of fear. …

Of course, as the knight said, the cost of waging war is too high, and at the same time the risk is very high.

Too large that few countries and city-states can afford one or two crushing defeats.

Not to mention the loss of food, armor, weapons, and all kinds of materials, the death and capture of pensions and so many young and middle-aged laborers alone would deal a huge blow to the prestige of the government, and even shake the foundations of the rule.

In addition to this, maintaining a large and well-trained army for a long time can also put a huge strain on finances.

So war is always the last resort.

In contrast, the second point of diplomatic pressure is much easier.

When doing this kind of thing, you must first have a sufficient and unquestionable justification, and then put yourself on the side of justice, portray the other party as an evil bad person, and stand on the moral high ground to criticize.

The second is to create and coerce public opinion, let as many people know about this as possible, and then mobilize the empathy of the people, so that they can condemn a certain country or city-state together.

Finally, and most importantly, do everything you can to win over other forces around you, especially those churches and organizations in the good camp, and force them to take a stand through various means.

When the above three elements are in place, the country or city-state will inevitably fall into diplomatic isolation and absolute moral disadvantage.

At this time, it is possible to launch the second step, that is, economic sanctions, while dividing and disintegrating the various social strata of the enemy, provoking and intensifying internal contradictions.

Not only will they not be able to unite together to tide over the difficulties, but they will also blame each other and be hostile to each other.

It is well known that in the eyes of most low-level civilians, the bad guys have no human rights and do not deserve sympathy.

Once we have successfully shaped an evil nation and city-state, we can unite the merchants of other surrounding regions to fight against it in a variety of ways.

For example, suddenly restricting the inflow of some daily necessities such as grain, salt, cloth, and steel, and then taking the opportunity to raise prices significantly, causing an increase in the cost of living for people, which in turn leads to social turmoil and the accumulation of discontent.

When this kind of turmoil and dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, the contradictions will be like a volcano about to erupt, containing unimaginable destructive power.

At that time, all it takes is the local Shadow Thieves Guild to operate a little bit and stir it up, and it will immediately trigger a terrifying riot.

It could turn into a brutal civil war that violently overthrew the current government.

In addition, when carrying out this step, it is also possible to consider co-opting and supporting a group of local merchants to act as internal responses by promising benefits, constantly fanning the opposition between the poor and the rich, the commoners and the nobles, and creating strong hostility between each other.

Remember, the strongest fortresses are always breached from within.

As long as you pay more attention to the hidden dangers within your competitors, and then find ways to intensify these contradictions and cause commotion and chaos, then you can easily defeat them completely.

This was true of Baldur's Gate, as was the case of Sambia, which practiced serfdom.

Even the seemingly enlightened Waterdeep City actually contains a huge crisis inside...... "...

Accompanied by a voice that was not in a hurry or slow, Zuo Si explained some of the simplest and most basic "fool-like" operation methods to these high-level Ams through logical and coherent language.

After all, the other party paid expensive "tuition", so he also taught a lot of "small tricks" very generously.

In fact, in the Faren Continent, due to the camp conflict between good and evil, order and chaos, the class consciousness of the people here is weak, or even none.

But now, when Zuo Si clearly put forward this concept and gave a series of actionable suggestions, all the Amm elites present showed either solemn or thoughtful expressions.

Because they realize that this set is a "double-edged sword" that can be used against both the enemy and themselves.

After a long silence, the old man who spoke first finally let out a long breath and exclaimed in a slightly emotional tone: "What a breathtaking wisdom. It seems that as long as he masters this, Amm will soon enter a period of strong expansion. But what I want to know now is, what do you think about the situation inside the country? ”

"Where?" Zuo Si asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Internal contradictions, of course. Or to put it another way, what can we do to ease the relationship between the merchant and aristocratic classes and the lower classes of the common people, and ensure that something like this does not happen in Ascatala? ”

The old man bluntly threw out the questions that were bothering him.

As the top magnate of this business empire, he has an extraordinary vision and understanding, and is well aware of the crisis that lies beneath the surface of Am's prosperity.

For example, the huge slums in the city, and the thugs who can't find a proper job and wander around all day.

In addition to the city, many traditional aristocrats outside the city used various means to seize homesteaders' land, or converted farmland into pastures to raise horses, cattle and sheep that could make more money, and dismissed all tenant farmers and left them to fend for themselves.

If someone were to use a similar tactic against Amm one day, the latter would never have been much slower to collapse and blow himself up than Baldur's Gate.

Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "Ensuring the smooth operation of a country and a political power is nothing more than satisfying two basic prerequisites.

That is, people's need for security, as well as the basic material needs for life and survival.

Simply put, it's about maintaining a good law and order environment while giving as many people as possible a job that can support themselves.

If it can't be satisfied, then find a way to transfer the crisis externally.

You guys should have thought about that a long time ago, didn't they?

For example, the law of exploration and the law of the sea. ”

"Oh? What do you think of these two codes? ”

The old man was suddenly interested, and his eyes flashed with a deep light.

By encouraging exploration and colonizing overseas, sending landless farmers and unemployed citizens elsewhere is one of the ways Amm is using to deflect his own crisis at this stage. In addition to this, there is another financial instrument. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Si took out a "Dante" gold coin from his pocket and gently placed it on the table. …

"I've tested that a gold coin struck by Amm has only about 40% of its precious metal content, and the rest are cheap metals such as lead, tin, and iron.

This is true not only for gold coins, but also for other silver, silver, and platinum coins.

And it explains why Amm has always been keen to control the trade routes, rather than encroaching on more land.

Because the actual occupation of a piece of land means taking responsibility for the protection of the inhabitants of that land.

But you don't want to take on that responsibility, and the cost of fulfilling it.

Quite the opposite!

You have adopted a smarter, more cunning way of colonizing, and that is economic colonization.

By occupying trade routes and monopolizing the commerce of an area, the local population gradually accepted and recognized the value of the Amm currency.

As a result, the region will need a lot of currency to support its daily transactions and various economic activities.

Both businessmen and civilians will find ways to hoard.

And this hoarding is equivalent to indirectly increasing the credit and demand for money, and bringing unimaginably large wealth to the minter.

I call this way of obtaining wealth through minting coinage "seigniorage". ”

The voice has not fallen!

Everyone present stood up and applauded.

The old man at the head exclaimed even louder: "What incredible wisdom and insight! I don't think you've even noticed that. I thought it would be a secret for a long time. ”

But Zuo Si shook his head with a smile: "No, you are wrong. I believe that many people on the continent of Faren have noticed the problem of the proportion of precious metal content of Amgold coins.

It's just that the value of money does not depend on itself, but on two other things, called credit and anchors.

The latter determines what the currency can buy.

The former determines how many people are willing to use it.

The two are mutually reinforcing.

At present, Am's merchants are located in every corner of the continent of Faeron and offer almost all types of goods.

Therefore, it is only natural that the currency minted by Amm will be accepted by almost everyone.

But if one day Am's finances and trade problems make it impossible to provide so many goods, then these currencies will inevitably depreciate.

The only way to avoid a similar crisis is to maintain and expand its trade advantage. ”

"Not bad! This is exactly the policy that Amm has always pursued. It seems that you have a unique and deep understanding of politics, diplomacy, economics and trade. I would venture to ask, would you be interested in accepting the title of Special Adviser to the Council of Six? The old man narrowed his eyes and cautiously tentatively asked.

"What's the benefit?" Zuo Si asked quietly.

"The good thing is that from the moment you accept this title, you're the ruler of the country at the top, just like us, and you can enjoy all sorts of hidden privileges, even in the event of a vacancy in the six-member council." The old man smiled and showed his hole cards.

Zuo Si touched his chin and thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "Yes, I accept it." There is a proviso, though. ”…

"Oh? What are the additional conditions? The old man had a curious look on his face.

"Bernard and I recently planned to fund an expedition. If nothing else, they should find an unfamiliar continent on the other side of the Sea of No Trace. I hope that when this news comes back, all of you here can ensure that our share is not lost. ”

Zuo Si made a straightforward request.

Because he knew that it was impossible to hide such heavy news, he simply took today's opportunity to have a showdown with the other party.

"What? A continent! On the other side of the Sea Without a Trace? ”

"Really?"

"Blessed by the goddess of wealth! How much trade and wealth can a completely unfamiliar continent bring? ”

"OMG! Doesn't that mean ......"

All of a sudden, the elites, who were still very determined, showed shock, greed, or excitement in their reactions.

You must know that the Falling Snow Harbor in the Shadowmoon Islands and the Southern Zalu Harbor in the Chult Jungle in the south have brought Ammu unimaginable and staggering profits.

even directly let the two originally unknown families take off on the spot, and gradually enter the ranks of top famous families.

"Quiet! Watch your demeanor! ”

Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, the old man at the head finally couldn't help but slap the table hard.

Under his strong pressure, the study quickly returned to order.

But this order is only superficial.

Secretly, everyone began to make their own little calculations.

After all, the interests of a continent are so big that no one will back down easily.

The old man obviously felt this, frowned and asked in a tone that was not very sure, "How do you know that there is a continent on the other side of the Traceless Sea?" Where did this news come from? ”

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and responded, "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say about this.

But by October or November next year at the latest, the expedition should be back with news and new routes.

At that time, you will naturally be able to distinguish the real from the fake.

And I don't want much, just guarantee a 50% share.

As for the rest, it is up to you to decide how to distribute them.

Of course, in exchange, the Amm government will give maximum support to the people, materials, and funds for the development of the New World. ”

The old man pondered for a long time, whispered to the others around him for a moment, and finally nodded.

"No problem! On behalf of all those present, I agree in principle to the conditions you have offered. However, the details will have to wait for the news to come back before they are discussed. Finally, you are welcome to join and be one of us. ”

"Thank you. I am also honored to be part of the Amm family. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone present, and then made a fake drinking motion.

The others raised their glasses in response, raising their heads and drinking down.

At this point, the core part of today's banquet is over.

And the organizer of the banquet, Sir Christian, stood at the door the whole time, and was not even qualified to say a word.

Because of the family behind these two dozen or so people in the study, any one can easily press him to the ground and rub him repeatedly. …

However, compared to those guys outside who spent money to buy admission tickets, but did not even have the qualifications to attend, Sir Christian was actually lucky.

At least he knew a lot of secrets that only the higher-ups knew.

For example, how to use economic, diplomatic, and public opinion methods to bring down a city-state or even a country;

Another example is the minting of currency by Am, which contains only 40% of the precious metals, and the Council of Six uses these currencies to collect money in a fair and crazy way;

Finally, there's news from another continent to the west beyond Trace.

After the "big shots" in the study left in batches and returned to the living room on the first floor outside to attend the banquet, the ambitious nobleman finally came to his senses and said in a very complicated and envious tone: "Congratulations, Your Excellency Soth. You are already one of the masters of this country. ”

"It's just a consultant, it's not a big deal. And I don't have much time to waste on all kinds of endless chores. My true identity is that of a spellcaster, not a politician or a family leader. ”

Zuo Siman didn't care, and threw the glass with the wine in his hand into the corner.

Ever since he had seen the brewing process of the Faren Continent at Dagger Beach, he had made up his mind that he would never touch any alcoholic beverages.

That's what makes people feel even more jealous. After all, you've casually reached heights that others may struggle to reach in their lifetimes. You must know that since the establishment of Am, there have been no more than forty families and individuals who have been accepted into the true ruling inner circle. ”

As he said this, Sir Christian took a heavy sip of his spirits, stood near the parapet on the second floor, and looked down condescendingly at the chatting and dancing guests in the hall below, as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Because he understands that his permission to sit in today is actually an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the top elite.

If you work hard enough, and with great success in the next series of external operations.

Then, in ten or twenty years, he and his family may be able to overcome that invisible barrier.

Just when Zuo Si was about to say something, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress walked up from downstairs and bowed to the two of them with a very exaggerated movement.

"Good evening, Sir Christian. And you, Sir Soth, the chosen choice of Talona, the great goddess of poison and disease. ”

"This is ......"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.

He looked at the memory zone of his brain, and he was 100% sure that he had never seen each other before.

"He's the Duke of Fashington Ronoor. I told you about it before. ”

Sir Christian quickly put away all the emotions on his face and made a brief introduction as a banquet host.

Fashington Ronoir?

Yin Saia Ronoor's father?

A hint of imperceptible banter flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and he immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be Duke Ronor, and it was an honor to know you." ”

"Nope! I should say that I am honored. ”

Fashington hurriedly modestly touched his chest with one hand and bowed again. …

Don't look at his usual arrogant appearance towards civilians, but in front of the real magnates of this country, he will put on a different face and curry favor with each other at all costs.

The so-called "bullying and flattery" is nothing more than that.

According to Zuo Si's investigation, the guy in front of him successfully established a cooperative relationship with some judges and guard captains by bribery.

Not only is there a large smuggling business in Askatra, but it is also closely connected with the slave catchers who supply gladiatorial slaves to the Coppercrown Inn, and secretly sell all kinds of humans, halflings, and elves to Karinshan.

Many of them are children who have been abducted before they reach adulthood.

Just as he was secretly considering how to concoct this fellow, Fashington immediately approached and whispered in a mysterious voice, "Sir South, I have prepared a gift for you when I came, and I put it in the carriage outside. ”

"Gifts? Are you supposed to be ......?"

Sir Christian seemed to have guessed something, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Because it's on his estate!

If there is really some scandal, the whole family will be disgraced.

"Don't worry. I was very careful and was not seen by anyone. ”

With that, Fashington took the lead and led the way.

After a while, the three of them came to the open space located at the back of the manor villa.

In an inconspicuous corner, a black, fully enclosed carriage was parked, and even the windows were hidden from the outside.

Two heavily armed guards stood nearby, vigilantly watching.

Fashington didn't make a sound, but with a wave of his hand, he drove the guards into the distance and opened the locked door himself.

Moment!

An elven girl with ropes tied to her hands and feet and strips of cloth in her mouth came into view.

Her skin is dark brown, she has long black and beautiful hair, she is about 1.6 meters tall, she looks quite thin, her weight will not exceed 60 kilograms, she has very little clothes on her body, only a simple homemade leather armor on her upper body, and a short leather skirt that only covers her thighs on her lower body.

As for age, there is no way to tell by appearance.

No doubt!

This is a typical wild elf.

Unlike their noble, elegant cousins, who wield vast amounts of knowledge, technology, and magical powers, they are like the barbarians of the elves, living in isolated wastelands and forests.

Some Golden Elves and Moon Elves even think that these kinds, who have abandoned their traditions and become barbarians, can no longer be called elves.

In fact, the appearance and history of wild elves can be traced back to the three crown wars 10,000 years ago, that is, the elves' own civil wars.

Several elven kingdoms, countless cities and villages were destroyed in this catastrophe.

Among them, some homeless refugees disappeared in the inaccessible mountains and forests, and slowly became the earliest wild elves.

Because of their small numbers and isolation, they gradually abandoned the red tape and chose to embrace nature and wilderness, which eventually evolved into what they are now.

However, there are not many wild elves living in Am, and there are only a few small tribes. …

"Well, are you happy with this gift? You know, I've lost several shrewd hunters to catch her. Fashington asked triumphantly.

As for the female elf, she was obviously fed some lethargy, anesthetic drugs, and was currently in a deep fainting, not reacting to anything in the outside world.

"Satisfied! Of course yes! ”

Zuo Si smiled dangerously.

Because just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of how to let the "scum" in front of him get the retribution he deserved.

Unaware that the target he was courting had set himself on killing, Fashington began to talk about the process of finding and hunting the wild elf tribe, and how high these pointy-eared creatures could sell for Kalinfir.

And he deliberately emphasized that the wild elf girl in front of him was a low-level Druyin, and her value was much higher than that of other slaves.

Zuo Si listened to the Duke of Ronoor's boasting with a smile on his face, and occasionally echoed it, but in fact, he had already sentenced the other party to death in his heart.

Under his disguise and deception, Fashington believed that he had succeeded in making a powerful friend.

The two returned to the banquet scene with talk and laughter, as if they had not seen each other for many years.

Only Sir Christian, who was the master, sensed that something seemed to be wrong.

Because in his impression, Zuo Si never seemed to be so close to anyone he met for the first time.

What's more, Fashington Ronoll and the family behind him are not important players either.

However, Sir Christian, who was quite a city government, did not show any abnormality, but was interested in seeing what Zuo Si planned to do to the Ronoir family.

……

As the banquet in the manor continued, a fierce battle was going on in the sewers of the temple district of Ascatla.

One of the warring parties is Irenikas, who is looking for the temple of the ancient sun god Amanata, and the other is the community of Eyedemons that inhabit the vicinity.

In a single moment, the goblins, gray dwarves, and vampire minions that Irenikas had brought with them were all wiped out.

Because these guys can't withstand the terrifying rays of the Eye Demon.

Especially vampires who don't eat control, without exception, are turned into a worthless pile of dust by the green dissociation ray.

Even Irenikas himself and his sister Badi were hit several times, leaving horrific scars on the surface of their skin.

In particular, the huge Elder's Eye that hides behind it can not only release a variety of rays and anti-magic force fields, but is also a warlock with a spell casting level of LV17 itself.

In addition, there are more than a dozen Eye Demons and a large number of smaller Gaussian Eye Demons around, and if they show their heads slightly, they will immediately be besieged by countless rays.

In addition, there are also those slaves who are controlled by the charm is also a big trouble.

"Damn! Where did these demons come from? ”

Ba Di clutched a piece of energy-torn chest, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse in a low voice.

You don't have to ask to know that she was hit by a dissociation ray just now.

Fortunately, its own vitality is strong enough, otherwise it should have turned into a puddle of powder like those descendants now. …

"I don't know! But I had a hunch that these Eye Demons must know something, otherwise they would never have blocked the passage. Irenikas replied with a gloomy face.

He had lengthened a lot of protective magic for himself just now, but he was suppressed by the opponent's anti-magic force field in one shot, and he almost confessed to himself.

Fortunately!

In addition to cannon fodder, this expedition also brought two clay golems, which blocked most of the attacks at critical moments.

However, the two loyal golems were soon destroyed by a spell unleashed by the Elder's Eye.

"We can't go on like this! You must retreat now! Otherwise, if we get caught, these Eye Demons will tear us to shreds. ”

Badi glanced at the monster that was flying around in the distance, giving his advice.

Know that vampires are not lichs, and there is no way to be reborn after their bodies have been completely destroyed.

What's more, she wasn't sure if that Elder's Eye would be a terrifying positive energy spell.

Irenikas looked down and thought for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Okay, let's retreat." ”

As the last word blurted out, he quickly chanted a spell, and at once summoned a large number of various otherworldly creatures, and rushed towards the location of the Eye Demon.

Since each Eye Demon has a large number of eye stalks, they can observe their surroundings at 360 degrees without blind spots.

When a large number of enemies appeared, they immediately turned around and turned on the ray bombing mode.

In the blink of an eye, colorful lights flickered in the air, making it look like lasers from afar.

It's as if all of a sudden it's gone from a fantasy world to a science fiction world.

However, Beholder's rays are not just damage, they can also inflict effects such as charm, control, dissociation, petrification, lethargy, instant death, sluggishness, fear, and more.

So in the blink of an eye, this large group of summoned creatures can either be controlled by the charm, or turn into stone statues, or run around screaming, or fall to the ground and fall asleep, or turn into a pile of dust.

Others are like slowing down in motion, and their every move becomes extremely sluggish.

After only ten seconds, the summoned otherworldly creatures were wiped out, and the Eyedemons were unscathed.

But Irenikas and Bardy had already used this time to teleport and leave.

At the behest of the Elder's Eye, the Eye Demons carefully examined the surrounding passages to make sure that the enemy had indeed left, and then quickly returned to their lair.

Only a few Eye Fiends, Gaussian Eye Demons, and a large number of slaves are left nearby.

And Irenikas, who managed to return to the sewer base in the mall area, was standing in front of a huge portal at the moment, touching his chin and falling into deep thought.

After a full three or five minutes, he sneered and said, "I understand! ”

"Understand what?"

Badi casually threw away the corpse of a slave who had just been drained of blood.

With the replenishment of fresh blood, the wounds on her body were healing at an incredible rate.

"Understand why Soth would give so much important information so easily. Because he knew that it would be impossible for us alone to defeat so many Eye Demons and reach the temple. So he is waiting, waiting for us to take the initiative to seek cooperation, and then take the opportunity to offer more conditions and requirements. Erenikas said meaningfully. …

When Ba Di heard this, he immediately showed a disdainful expression: "Hmph! Can't we slowly gather the strength to make the constructs and golems in large quantities, and I will transform more vampire descendants, and then use the numerical advantage to directly bulldoze that eye demon lair? ”

Irenikas shook his head slightly, "Theoretically, yes. But the problem is that you are ignoring the most important time.

Whether it's crafting constructs and golems, or transforming more vampire descendants, it takes a long time.

Kosos obviously won't give us that much time.

So the only option now is to cooperate after paying a certain price.

It seems that the electorate of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, is not as good as expected.

And I think the Eye Demons are entrenched nearby, probably because there is something hidden in the temple that interests them.

Maybe this is just what Soth wants. ”

"Do you need me to get in touch with the woman named Reyn?" Badi asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.

"No, there's no hurry. Since we said that it was two weeks later, we would wait. I also need to use this time to observe the actions of those Eye Demons so that I can have more leverage in the next negotiation. ”

Finished?

?? With that, Irenikas quickly cast a spell to transform the injuries on his body to the slave next to him, and then walked straight to the room filled with clones of the elven queen Elice.

You don't have to ask to know that he is ready to vent the anger and desire boiling in his heart in this way.

Badi, on the other hand, stood by with great interest as his brother tortured and abused the clones, his eyes revealing intense pleasure.

After all, it was the elven queen Alixing herself who ordered to deprive the two of them of their elf identity and the essence of life and banished them.
