"This is Silvermoon City?"

Standing in front of the tall city gate, looking at the invisible bridge made entirely of magic, the werewolf girl showed a shocked expression.

For it was the first time she had seen a city that was so extravagant as to use rare, precious, and expensive magic for such a bridge for ordinary people to enter and exit.

To be exact, the entire Silvermoon City is like a fairytale country.

There are all kinds of magic spires that can never be seen, as well as gardens built in mid-air, various fountains, and sculptures.

From time to time, elves and half-elves on Pegasus will skim the sky to help all those in trouble.

There are even some enchanted instruments that are played day and night in the streets.

Even the guards guarding the gate were so polite that even the peasants who went into the city to sell grain, meat, fruits and vegetables would smile and send a word of blessing.

All the greed, selfishness, jealousy, and arrogance in human nature seem to cease to exist here, and only the best side remains.

Even the bloodthirsty and money-hungry old dwarf Kogan inadvertently put away his arrogant and unreasonable appearance at this moment.

There is no doubt that all of this is due to the influence of the good environment created by Silvermoon City.

Because most ordinary people have a herd mentality, when other people and the environment around them tend to be orderly and kind, then they will also be happy to show their friendliest side.

But once the surrounding environment is chaotic and full of evil people, then even in order to survive without being bullied, people will scramble to be the most powerful, the most evil, the most intimidating villain.

Although Zuo Si didn't know whether Erasdror had intentionally or unintentionally created such a social environment in Silvermoon City, he was worthy of the title of "Lady Hope" just because the other party was able to create such a paradise in the Northland, which was full of dangers, orcs, dragons, and dangerous monsters.

She has indeed brought hope to all those who yearn for order and goodness in the city and throughout the Northlands.

If it weren't for Silvermoon City's suppression, Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood would have begun to expand unscrupulously, establishing a slave empire similar to Serre's in the north.

It is also rumored that Erasdr has made an alliance with several primeval golden and silver dragons.

In addition, there are a large number of high-level mages, as well as temples that tend to be kind or neutral, such as Loshanda, the Lord of the Dawn, Heim, the god of the guard, Mericay, the goddess of the forest, Midnight, the goddess of magic Midnight, the god of love and beauty, the goddess of the moon, Suren, and the god of nature, Sivannas, who tend to be kind or neutral.

So don't look at the number of soldiers in Silvermoon City is always small, none of them exceed a thousand, but the powerful foundation it has is by no means comparable to the third-rate forces like Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood, which don't even have a backstage.

This point can be glimpsed from the fact that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orc armies have gone south, but they have never approached Silvermoon City once.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si immediately said to the werewolf girl with great interest: "That's right, this is Silver Moon City, it's spectacular, isn't it?"

In fact, it grew out of a few small farms that were originally established on the land.

During the time of the local population, the goddess of the forest, Melicay, and her mount, the unicorn goddess Rari, were worshipped.

Later, it gradually developed into a small town, and it was not until 637DR that it was officially named Silvermoon City.

Later, mages who believed in the goddess of magic came here to build the first library and teach the natives knowledge and the art of magic.

It didn't take long for it to become a magical mecca.

And the High Mage is the titular supreme leader and ruler of the city.

Later, around the struggle for ambition and power, a series of infighting broke out in Silvermoon City, and even vendetta between each other.

Eventually, Erasdr won the title of High Mage in a vote of all citizens, beginning her reign that lasted for more than a century.

It was under her rule that the city became so rich, prosperous, and powerful. ”

"Sounds like this lady Ellastrom is a very powerful person?" There was a hint of curiosity in Vangues' eyes.

"Yes, whether it's political skills, diplomatic skills, or the near-triple-digit number of children, the uncountable lovers, and the status of the legendary mage and the Goddess of Magic Elector, all of them are testaments to Erasdra's ability and strength. The most important thing is that she also has a good reputation and has almost nothing to blame for other than a slightly chaotic private life. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si's tone obviously had a hint of playfulness.

Because calculating the time when this Hope lady was born, it is basically certain that she is almost 600 years old now, but she can still be energetic to pursue novelty and excitement in addition to her busy work.

I don't know how her children will feel when they learn that their "mother" has found a lover younger than their great-grandson.

In fact, in the "Seven Sisters of the Northlands", except for Aoi Lu, who is a dark elf, the other six are all claimed to be humans, but all of them have elven blood without exception.

In particular, the children of Erastro, whose father is also an elf, tend to live very long.

"Really? I don't believe it! ”

Alena couldn't help but interject.

For a capricious and chaotic camp like hers, it is very difficult to not make mistakes for a lifetime, or even for a few days.

However, in line with the principle of not making big mistakes and making small mistakes, this happy person has learned to control the harm within a certain range without a teacher, and try not to make his master angry.

"Believe it or not. Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's go inside. ”

With that, Zuo Si took the lead and walked up to the invisible moon bridge composed entirely of a magical power field.

Because of his arcane vision, true knowledge, and eye of knowledge, he could clearly see the forms of these force fields that were shaped by the energy extracted from the magic web.

But for those who walk on this magic bridge for the first time, it is a little scary.

It's like the transparent glass bridges set up by tourist attractions for gimmicks, tourists know that these special glasses are even harder than steel, and even if a big rock falls, it may not be broken, but it will still make their legs weak.

In particular, Kogan, an old dwarf who is afraid of heights, has to gently tap in front of him with an axe every step he takes to make sure that he will not fall.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who did this, as did the orc Ritter, who had never known anything about magical powers, as well as those outsiders who came to Silvermoon City for the first time.

In this regard, the guards guarding the door have long been surprised.

When the team finally crossed the moon bridge and reached the city gate, the guards began to perform their duties, looking up and down the group of adventurers or mercenaries.

Zuo Si, who looked very young and was a human being, obviously had no problems, and fully met the criteria for entering Silvermoon City.

Similarly, Alena, the dwarven Kogan, the werewolf girl Vangels, and the elven archer, who are suspected of having fire elemental blood, are also in the range.

But the orc Ritter clearly made it difficult for the guards.

Because the orcs in the Wild North are completely different from the orcs in the south, who have integrated into civilized society.

They are closer to orcs than humans.

Therefore, they often go around plundering with the orc tribes, which is an out-and-out scourge.

And the spotted cat people located in the Aztec continent are also intelligent creatures that these guards have never seen, so they can't make a decision for a while.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a light-colored robe, wearing a crown, and her long hair shimmering silver like a waterfall appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.

She looks as beautiful as a young girl of twenty, but her temperament and eyes reveal wisdom and maturity that have passed through time.

Especially the shining silver fire in his body was as bright and dazzling as a torch in the night sky in Zuo Si's eyes.

"Her Majesty!"

The guards guarding the gates hurriedly fell to one knee to pay their respects to the wise ruler.

Erasdra waved his hand for the loyal guards to stand up, while he focused all his attention on Zuo Si.

After a full minute, she smiled and sighed, "It's really not easy." I've finally met you today. Welcome to Silvermoon City, South. ”

"It's my pleasure."

Zuo Si was very polite and stroked his chest with one hand, and he owed slightly.

"Hehe, don't be so reserved. After all, we're all voters of the Goddess of Magic now, and you helped deal with the massive invasion of the orcs half a year ago. I owe you a favor. Erastro winked playfully.

It can be seen that she is in a very good mood, and even behaves like a young girl, rather than an "old grandmother" who is close to six hundred years old.

Zuo Si didn't understand that a person who had lived for more than 600 years could still maintain such a mentality, so he could only follow the other party and say: "About this matter, it's not just about human feelings.

Because just two days ago, I just experienced an attack, and there were about thirty one-eyed orc warriors with an average level of around lv14, and seven or eight priests involved.

In addition to this, there are two Electors of the Orc Gods and Legendary Warriors, Legendary Priests.

In the end, the suspected god incarnation also came, but for some reason it didn't show up in the end. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, Erasdra's face changed drastically, and he instantly changed from the appearance of a girl in love just now back to the wise and decisive lord of Silvermoon City.

"Yes, you heard it right. Because of what I did last time, I was targeted by the orc gods. Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative answer.

"Why are they targeting you? There are too many monarchs and dragons who have slaughtered orcs, and there is no reason for them to do so. ”

Erasdra subconsciously frowned, obviously unable to understand what the orc gods were doing so much.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied, "At this point, motives and reasons don't matter anymore.

The important thing is that their actions have angered me, so I intend to retaliate by killing the orcs of the entire Northland.

Congratulations, Ms. Erastro.

From now on, neither Silvermoon City nor the Silvermoon Federation that you are actively promoting to form will have to worry about being invaded and raided by orcs every autumn and winter. ”

Although when he said this, Zuo Si maintained an "elegant and easy-going" smile throughout the whole process, in the eyes of others, this smile was ten thousand times more terrifying than that of a demon from the bottomless abyss.

Because that's the death of millions of orcs!

Just thinking about so many corpses piled up together makes my scalp tingle.

At this moment, Erastro finally realized why Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, had to let Zuo Si be her chosen one no matter what.

It is foreseeable that if this happens, then many people will choose to believe in Talona in pursuit of the powerful and devastating power of the plague.

In addition, she also understood what Yin Erminster meant by "having a strong revenge mentality".

Just as Erasdra was shocked by the ruthlessness and cruelty shown by Zuo Si towards his enemies, he was far north in the rolling mountains of Silvermoon City, near the "Crest of the World".

A large orc tribe with tens of thousands of people is on the verge of annihilation.

Ever since a falcon flew over the tribe about a few hours ago and dropped a puddle of grayish-white sticky droppings, the entire tribe, from the sturdy warriors to the women who usually do laundry, cooking, and giving birth, began to get sick.

At first, they only coughed, sneezed, and shed tears.

But soon these symptoms began to deteriorate dramatically, until they reached a high fever, confusion, lethargy, difficulty breathing, and so on.

What's even more terrifying is that this unknown disease or plague is still spreading at a very fast speed, and the herbs made by witch doctors and shamans on weekdays are not even of any use at this time.

More than seventy percent of the people who first fell ill have become corpses, and the remaining thirty percent have not improved at all, and death is only a matter of time.

"Chief! You have to make a decision, or our tribe will all be dead. A priest serving the orc gods reminded nervously.

The reason why he was nervous was because he had just used the Three-Ring Divine Technique [Remove Disease] on a very strong warrior.

Although at that time the fighter immediately regained consciousness and got out of bed.

But it didn't take long for the other party to be infected again.

This means that there is no "immunity" to this terrible plague.

Unless enough anti-disease potions are prepared, drink it to all infected people, and then burn all the beds, tents, and rudimentary wooden furniture that may be contaminated with unclean things.

Otherwise, all efforts will be in vain.

With the number of priests in the tribe alone, let alone saving people, it is a question of whether they can even save their own lives.

"Bastard! Are you trying to make me give up the whole tribe? The tall, sturdy orc chief stood up and roared with filial piety.

"But if we don't go, we will all die, and no one will be exempt. You will die, he will die, and I will die. The pastor issued a warning without flinching.

"Damn! Can't even those who aren't sick be brought along? ”

The orc chief was obviously a little unwilling, and just gave up himself in this way, and finally got status and power.

Because once he has no subordinates, he is just a slightly higher-level brute warrior, and he can't give orders like he does now.

The priest refused without thinking: "No! Absolutely not! You don't see that they are asymptomatic now, but no one can guarantee whether they have been infected by the plague, so they can't take risks. Otherwise, everything we do will be meaningless. ”

"How many people can I take with me?"

The orc chief snorted and gasped, visibly angry.

He still couldn't believe that the enemy's revenge would come so quickly and so desperately.

You know, this is a large orc tribe in the early 10,000s!

If there is a need for war, more than 2,000 fierce and tough fighters can be pulled up at any time.

"Twenty! Our magic and potions can guarantee that up to twenty people will leave alive. As for the rest, let them lie here and wait for death. The priest quickly gave an exact number.

Eventually, the chief's handpicked group of twenty warriors and priests quietly left the camp and drank the Disease-Removing potion near the river, then burned the clothes they had brought with them, and threw their armor and weapons into the fire to be sterilized.

After all this was done, he crossed the river and set off eastward, intending to see how the other orc tribes were doing.

But what they didn't know was that similar things were happening all over the Northlands.

Through the spread of falcons, thousands of orcs died as a result.

Some believers fell to their knees and prayed desperately to God, but received no response.

After all, Geush had tried to kill Zosi before, but was intercepted by a group of hostile gods, and lost two very capable voters.

If you dare to show your face at this time, then you will be out of the ghost.

By the time the chieftain and the priest walked a few kilometers away, the camp was already littered with corpses.

A human female clutches her half-orc daughter unharmed.

Because the bacteria and viruses used by Zuo Si are only for the orcs race.

Orcs and humans will not have any discomfort even if they are infected, and they will be eliminated from the body in about three to five hours with the circulatory system inside the body.

With the entire tribe of orcs dead, the human, elven, dwarven, and half-elven slaves they had plundered were finally freed.

In particular, women who had been ravaged and tortured and had begun to become numb instantly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

But soon the men began to gather together, kneeling on the ground and shouting praises to Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, with a frenzied face.

It is foreseeable that when they return to civilization, the news and their belief in Talona will inevitably spread, greatly increasing the number and influence of the goddess's followers.

There is not a single town or village in the Northland that has not been threatened by orcs.

No god will punish these filthy, bloodthirsty and brutal beasts, and free the innocent civilians who have been plundered.

Zuo Si obviously didn't think that his revenge against the orcs would bring great benefits to Talona.

Until then, the church and priesthood of the goddess of poison and plague had been a hated character in the Northlands.

In fact, the situation of this tribe was only the beginning of the extinction of the Orcs of the Northland.

Over the next long time, millions of orcs will slowly die out, from the glaciers and ice floes of the Far North to the mountains of the world's crests, and the vast primeval boreal forests a little further south.

Because the viruses that have been screened and evolved by Zuo Si himself will continue to spread in a wider range as those scavengers and vultures in the sky gnaw on the corpses of dead orcs.

Although the plague can be cured by divine magic, the problem is that only a small part of it can be covered by divine magic.

As the orcs died or became incapacitated, the freed slaves immediately took up arms to take revenge and revenge.

Several women even used scissors to tie up the orcs who had violated them, cut the lower half of each other's bodies into sections, and listened to the other party's wails in pain and despair.

Others cut a hole with a sharp blade, plucking the orc's skin alive and sprinkling salt on it to vent their anger.

In short, there is no bullshit such as forgiveness in Faeron, and many gods in the good camp support reasonable revenge.

After venting the anger in her heart, the previous human woman fell to the ground with a thud, and the whole person seemed to collapse, and she no longer had the strength to stand up.

Numerous whiplashes, bites, and black-purple bruises could be seen through the dirty, tattered leather clothing, which were clearly the marks left by the male orcs when they were violated.

The bony body had clearly reached its limit.

It's just that her nature as a mother makes her unable to let go of her half-orc daughter, for fear that this little guy will suffer the same fate as herself.

You must know that the extremely ignorant and barbaric orcs have no concept of family at all, and they are extremely discriminatory and despise women.

In the teachings of the orc god Guush, women exist for the service of warriors.

Their tasks are to produce offspring, cook, wash clothes, wipe armor, maintain weapons, and a series of other chores.

So orc women are basically not much different from slaves.

Therefore, when a man wants to mate, he can find a woman he likes in the tribe at will, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not.

As for the children born, they are also raised by the whole tribe.

This human woman obviously couldn't watch her daughter become a tool for the bloodthirsty beast to vent her desires, so she gritted her teeth and persevered until now.

When the threat of orcs is completely gone, she loses the motivation to live, and her whole person quickly weakens and enters a state of dying waiting for death to come.

"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you? The little orc girl cried out in panic.

"I'm sorry, Corinna. Mom may not be able to continue to accompany you, and the future will depend on you. ”

The woman struggled to do it, gently stroking the little guy's black hair, her eyes full of reluctance.

Although she once hated her daughter who had been raped, her nature as a mother eventually prevailed.

"Yes...... But where do I go? I didn't even wear heavy armor, and I had never been trained in weapons like a boy. "The girl is clearly confused and scared about her future.

"Follow those who have regained their freedom to the south, to Silvermoon or Neverwinter.

Finally, and most importantly.

Find out what this sudden plague is all about.

If it is the divine punishment of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, then you will become her most devout believer in the future;

If someone does it, then you have to be a follower of it.

Because without this plague, your future fate would be extremely miserable, and you would not even have a choice.

Okay, go ahead, go and set off with those who have regained their freedom, they should take you to safety......"

With that, the woman drove her daughter away, leaving her alone in the stenching tent and waiting for death.

Since it was useless to pray to the gods she believed in when she was taken by the orcs and became a slave, she had long since abandoned her original faith.

But at this moment, the woman began to pray again, and the object was Talona, the goddess of poison and disease.

She doesn't expect the other party to accept her, she just wants to express her gratitude.

Just when the woman's consciousness began to freeze, feeling that her body was getting colder and stiffer, and she might swallow her last breath at any time, a light suddenly appeared in front of her out of thin air.

I saw a succubus with horns on his head and wings and tail behind him come out of it, and said in a very soft voice, "Thank the great goddess for her kindness, human. Talona decides to embrace your faith and allows you to travel to her realm. ”

Hearing this, the woman's originally dark eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

It's a pity that she can't speak at the moment, only a strange voice of unknown meaning comes from her throat.

Just a few seconds later, death finally came.

Looking at the warm corpse that had fallen to the ground with a smile on its face, the succubus immediately changed to another face and sneered sarcastically, "Mortals are really stupid to even believe such nonsense that is obviously deception." How could a great goddess accept a soul who had been converted before her death and had never done anything even doctrinal in her life. ”

You don't have to ask to know that she is Ulrika sent by Talona to the material world to deal with those hellish spies.

After presumably confirming his surroundings and his location, the cunning succubus quickly disguised himself as one of the slaves and followed those who had regained their freedom on their difficult journey back to civilization.

It is not easy to travel from the mountains of the crest of the world to the cities of the south.

The first thing they have to face is all sorts of monsters and carnivorous beasts that are more ferocious than anywhere else.

Beyond the river left over from the glacier, there are large areas of primeval forest that are full of dangers.

Along the way, whether you encounter frost giants, winter wolves, white dragons, bears, tigers, gnolls, or goblin tribes, you may all die in a very short time.

However, it is clear that Ulrica will not sit idly by and watch the death of these refugees who have had the greatest influence on Talona and the believers, but will ensure that at least a third of them will arrive in town safely and spread their stories.

This is also the purpose of the succubus to teleport all the way to the crest of the world.

……

At the same time, far away in Silvermoon City.

Zuo Si was sitting in a gorgeous palace, enjoying a local meal brought by a beautiful elf.

Erastro sat across from him, sipping a glass of amber wine, a seductive flush on his fair face and neck.

After about a minute, the Silvermoon Lord put down his cup and asked in a slightly playful tone, "So you've made an alliance with Lord Nasir of Neverwinter, and you plan to work together against Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood?" ”

Zuo Si nodded lightly: "That's right." Even from Silvermoon's perspective, if the Arcane Brotherhood were wiped out, Luscan's transformation from an evil, chaotic and aggressive city-state to a neutral order wouldn't be a bad thing, right? ”

"I don't understand, why did you suddenly become interested in Luskan and the Arcane Brothers? After all, compared to the wealth of the Sword Sea and the central and southern Sword Bay, the Northern Sword Bay is so barren. Erastro continued to probe tentatively.

"You've got one thing wrong, ma'am.

That is, this war was not provoked by me, but by the Arcane Brotherhood and the pirates who control Luskan first.

What I'm doing now is just making the first move.

In fact, since the establishment of maritime order, the forces of the Nälancer Islands under my control have often clashed with the Luskan pirates who want to plunder south.

There were hundreds of sporadic battles alone.

With not enough merchant ships and goods looted, Luskan's thriving black market is rapidly shrinking, while the Arcane Brotherhood's purse is shrinking dramatically.

If there is no way to solve the current predicament, without even having to do anything about it, they themselves will be caught in a fierce infighting for resources and wealth.

Often, the way to deflect an internal crisis is to wage war externally.

So there will be a battle between me and Luskan and the Arcane Brotherhood.

This is an inevitable result of objective factors and economic laws, and it cannot be avoided by relying on the will of a few people. ”

Zuo Si explained in a nonchalant tone.

He believed that with the political wisdom of the other side, he would definitely understand what he was trying to say.

Erasstra proved to be a very good ruler, and immediately nodded in understanding: "Okay, I see. Regarding this matter, the attitude of Silver Moon City and the Silver Moon Alliance is neither for nor against. You can do what you want, but you have to make sure that trade resumes as soon as the war is over. ”

"Trade routes? Is there anything in Silvermoon City that must be purchased from Luskan? Zuo Si keenly grasped the key.

He had always believed that there was not much close trade between Silvermoon City and Luskan.

Important daily necessities, including salt, were sent to Silvermoon City by a complex river transportation route from Waterdeep City.

But now it seems that things are not so simple.

"Yes. There are a lot of specialties and magical materials from the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale, which need to pass through Luskan as a transit to reach Silvermoon City. If this trade route is broken, then many mages will be unhappy about it, and it will be difficult for me to do it then. ”

Erasdra didn't hide anything, and gave reasons generously.

After all, mages are the most important pillar of the city.

Without their help, that pitiful army would have been razed to the ground by the vast orc army, just like all the cities that have been plundered by the orcs.

"I see. Don't worry, this war will go on soon, faster than anyone could have imagined. Zuo Si assured meaningfully.

A satisfied smile appeared on Erastro's face: "Then it's fine. Hopefully, you'll be able to completely transform Luskan after the war is over, making it an ally rather than an enemy to all other towns. When the time comes, we can work together to create a prosperous, prosperous, and peaceful Northland. ”

Zuo Si responded bluntly: "Regarding the transformation, I already have a detailed plan, please don't worry."

As for a prosperous, prosperous, and peaceful Northland, I beg to differ.

After all, the towns are now rallying around Silvermoon and Neverwinter because they feel the threat from Luthcut and the Arcane Brotherhood.

Under such a powerful external threat, they are naturally willing to give up part of their power and interests, first of all, to ensure their survival.

But when external threats disappear, conflicts of rights and interests become more apparent.

Those seemingly unbreakable alliances may turn against each other in a very short period of time, and eventually form a new geopolitical pattern.

For example, several towns rich in ores, weapons, and armor will inevitably fight openly and secretly for market share, and if they don't do so, war may break out.

Perhaps you can adjust with high prestige and superb diplomatic skills, but the contradictions exist objectively and will not disappear because of this.

It will only accumulate over time until it erupts in a more violent form.

So I'd suggest you'd better not get too much hope out about the future of the Northlands.

Know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ”

There is no doubt that Zuo Si's remarks immediately made Erastro fall into deep thought.

She had thought that once the Arcane Brotherhood would be eradicated and Luskan returned to being a normal city, one of the greatest threats to the entire Northland would be gone.

Coupled with the fact that the orcs were killed and injured by the plague, it was impossible to pose a new threat for at least a few hundred years, and future peace and prosperity were inevitable.

But now, the Hope lady suddenly realizes that things don't seem to be as simple as she imagined.

As someone who has ruled Silvermoon City for more than a century, and has been actively promoting the formation of the Silvermoon Federation in the last decade or so, she knows very well that there will always be more or less friction between various towns.

Some of these are trade issues, while others are land and mineral disputes.

Because there is a common external enemy that needs to be united, most of these disputes are taken back by Erastro's mediation.

But if there are no foreign enemies, will those towns be willing to give up those interests that should belong to them?

This undoubtedly puts a big question mark.

After a long silence, Erasdr finally raised his head and asked in a slightly anxious tone, "Now that you've seen this, is there any good solution?" ”

Zuo Si replied without thinking: "Three plans." One is to remain neutral and not help each other, watching them fight to the end and bloodshed, and can no longer continue the war and then come forward to adjust.

In this way, after the hard lesson, no one will try to provoke a war for at least fifty years.

The second is to support one of the towns and get them to annex the other.

When one of the subjects of the contradiction disappears, the contradiction naturally ceases to exist.

As for the last one, it was Silvermoon City himself who would wage war and annex the surrounding towns, large and small, to establish a unified country.

There may be a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice at first, but after reunification, a stable state structure can be formed to suppress local forces with a strong central power.

Over time, when the concept of the state is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, similar situations will change a lot, and the Kingdom of Cormier is the best example.

They practiced feudal feudalism for thousands of years, but there was never a rebellion of the nobility as in other countries.

The royal family has always held the supreme power firmly in its hands, and has used complex political maneuvers to suppress domestic contradictions.

But I think with your character, I'm afraid none of these three plans will be adopted. ”

"How do you know I'm not going to adopt?" Erasdra raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked.

"For you are loved and praised by kindness, kindness, and justice.

If one day you personally break the most perfect image in people's minds, then even the citizens of Silvermoon City will no longer support you.

What's more, you have also set a very high moral bottom line for yourself.

This is both a noble act, but it is also a powerful bondage.

You can't let go of your hands and feet like I did, and use many methods that seem cruel to outsiders, but are very effective, to deal with things quickly. ”

As we all know, once a persona is established, it cannot be easily changed.

Especially for a public and political figure like Erastro, if the persona that has been built up so hard collapses, the results will be disastrous.

What's more, she is like this by nature, every time she does something against her conscience, she will have a strong sense of guilt and guilt.

That's why Zuo Si so directly said the way to solve the real contradiction in the north.

Because he knows that even if he says it, the other party will not adopt it.

As for the Silver Moon Alliance, which was formed through diplomatic means, it was essentially a loose alliance.

Dwarves, elves, humans, and halflings have established large and small strongholds and cities here as a race unit.

Each town is almost 100% independent and autonomous, and is sustained by Erastro's charisma and prestige.

If one day she dies or leaves office, then the entire alliance could dissolve at any time.

Therefore, Zuo Si is not optimistic about the future of the Silver Moon Alliance at all.

Erastro smiled and exclaimed, "Yes, you're right, I can't take any of these three solutions. But it doesn't matter, I believe that everyone has a good side in their hearts, and as long as they are guided correctly, the conflict will always be resolved. ”

"Fairy tales are beautiful because they are not real. I can only respect your ideas, but I will never agree with them. Therefore, Luskan will be a neutral city and a city of trade in the future. Zuo Si gave a very clear guarantee.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Well, with all that talk about business, it's time to relax a little. Let's go, let's go take a bath together and relax a little. ”

Erasdra stood up and extended an invitation to Zuosi, who was a head shorter than herself.

Because she herself is very tall (more than 1.8 meters), and she is wearing a pair of women's shoes with a high heel, so?

Even the heavily armed knights at the palace gate didn't look so tall in front of her.

Of course, compared to Erastro's height, what Zuo Si wants to complain about most now is that this bath is serious?

Although he had heard before that if Erastro was interested in someone or wanted to be friends with them, he would invite them to take a bath with him.

Because only when you strip naked and see each other honestly, people will subconsciously let down their guard and show the truest side of their hearts.

If it had been a year ago, Zuo Si would definitely agree without hesitation.

Because at that time his body had not yet begun to develop and he was able to maintain 100% calm.

But now if we really see each other openly in the bathroom, God knows if the little brother will suddenly come to stand and salute.

"Hehe, relax, just take a bath, don't be so nervous."

Erastro thought that Zuo Si was shy, and immediately covered his mouth and snickered.

Because since they met, she still found out for a time that this young man, who has always shown maturity, calmness and reason, will also show confusion in some aspects.

"Well, it's just a bath anyway."

Zuo Si sighed a little helplessly, and followed the other party into the gorgeous bathroom located in the palace.

It wasn't long before the sound of running water and Erastro's hearty laughter could be heard.
