Zuo Si had actually been thinking about transforming the Dragonborn Knight from a mere summoned creature to a retinue for a long time.

Because as the only retinue at the moment, Alena the pyromancer obviously does not meet his requirements in terms of ability and personality.

Moreover, with a single attribute of fire magic attacks, any character in the Faeron Continent can easily use a variety of arcane, magical, potions and magic items for protection and even direct immunity.

Therefore, Zuo Si needs to cultivate an entourage that meets his requirements, and Davidian, who has followed him for the longest time, happens to be the most suitable person.

First of all, he is a melee professional who can perform a series of tasks including guarding, guarding, and cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers.

When encountering a strong enemy, it can also become a reliable meat shield, forcing the opponent to have no way to target the brigade mage in the first place.

And when it turns into a red dragon, it can also become a mount and a vehicle.

The second is a calm personality, no matter what happens, he will not panic, and he will always maintain a state of 100% obedience to orders.

Even if Zuo Si needed him to die, he would do it without hesitation.

This is many times stronger than Alena, who gets into trouble every three or five times.

However, there is one more important thing to convert Davidian into a follower, and that is a living red dragon, at least to the age of "extremely old", ideally to find an ancient dragon or an ancient red dragon.

But this is obviously not easy.

After all, as the most powerful red dragon among the five-colored evil dragons, he is already equivalent to the overlord of one side of the force when he basically reaches old age.

Entering the Ancient Dragon and even the Ancient Age Level, it is quite difficult to deal with one by one, and it is not much easier than challenging a secondary demon lord in the material plane.

In fact, when a red dragon reaches the prime of life, it can compete with the legendary creature of the Barlow Flame Demon.

After becoming an ancient dragon, he can steadily suppress the other party.

When it comes to the primeval age, hunting down a Baror Flame Demon is only a little bit more challenging for these powerful beasts.

Just as Zuo Si was considering whether he should choose Baragas "Flying Flame" as the capture target, or Klaus, the "Egg Eater" in the Northland, as the capture target, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lord Soth, thank you for all you have done for Am. On behalf of the Council of Six and all citizens, I present to you this gift of honor and gratitude. We hope that you will continue to protect Ascaltra from demons, demons, and other evil creatures in the future. ”

With that, a member of the six-member council personally presented the exquisite gift box that had been prepared by the realization with both hands.

You don't need to ask, you know that what is contained here is the reward for Zuo Si for defeating the six-armed snake demon lord.

As an expanding business empire, the Amm government has always had a lot of money.

Especially after mastering the advanced coinage technology, they will even secretly collect gold and silver coins from other regions, and then bring them back to melt them back and mint them into their own gold coins to earn the difference.

Therefore, it is also quite generous when it comes to rewarding those who have merit.

Those who participated in this operation were at least paid thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins.

As for those who unfortunately die and cannot be resurrected, there is also an additional pension to be paid to the immediate family members along with the remuneration.

The six-member council proved itself to be a treat for heroes who stand up in times of crisis.

Despite the large additional expenditure of wealth, it has won unanimous recognition at all levels of society.

And this has brought many additional benefits, such as greatly reducing the dissatisfaction of the lower classes with the status quo of corruption, money and power trading, and the rampant shadow thief guild.

Because in the eyes of the common people, although the existing administrative system of the country has many problems, it is still very reliable in times of crisis.

At least there has never been a mistake on the issue of right and wrong.

This can already be regarded as quite good in the Faren Continent, which is full of all kinds of intrigues and dangerous monsters.

In addition, the city itself was not damaged due to the proper handling of the crisis, and the confidence of the merchants in the safety of Ascatra was increased.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, businessmen and chambers of commerce will come to invest and buy or lease houses, warehouses and shops.

With the income from the rise in land prices alone, the six-member council can recover all the money that was scattered, and it may be possible to make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zuo Si was very sure that no matter what exactly was in this small box, its value would definitely not be less than 500,000 gold coins.

He took the box with a smile on his face and replied softly, "Thank you very much." Rest assured, as long as I live in the city, anyone who wants to wreak havoc will have to pass me first. And I swear revenge on those behind the scenes. ”

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Let's go, the Council has prepared a banquet for you and other heroes to celebrate your victory, and the councillors and civilian representatives will want to be able to express their gratitude in person. ”

The six-member council member, completely hidden under a magical mask, had a clear hint of flattery in his tone.

He didn't need to ask, he must have seen the battle images transmitted through the Magic Eye, and understood how powerful and terrifying the Goddess of Poison and Disease and the Goddess of Magic were in front of him.

Among other things, the two red dragons, a green dragon that was previously used as a mount, and the plate crusher and the Oranri multi-headed dragon that can chase the demons to slaughter wildly, are enough to easily destroy a large city like Ascatla.

Not to mention that there are so many golems and a large number of other minions.

On top of that, due to the extreme lack of high-end powers like legendary mages in Am's entire country, the Council of Six is very envious of the two Goddess of Magic's electors sitting in Waterdeep.

Even if the latter has a huge labyrinth full of all kinds of terrifying monsters such as the Leyline Maze at the foot of the city, it does not show any panic, but can deal with it calmly.

But now, there is actually one in Askatra, and it is natural to cherish and win it over, and strive to keep it in the city forever.

After a long time, even if you don't do anything, you can bluff a lot of guys who want to do things just by relying on fame.

Zuo Si undoubtedly saw through the other party's thoughts, and immediately responded: "It's just right, I also have some things to talk to you about." ”

"No problem. After the banquet, we can go to the study alone to talk. Several other people will also be present. ”

With a whispered conversation, the two quickly ended the political show, boarded the carriage to the applause and cheers of the crowd of onlookers, and drove straight to the venue of the banquet.

After about ten minutes, you will come to a luxurious mansion on the other side of the administrative district.

Obviously, this is the family residence of a traditional nobleman of Am, and both the courtyard wall and the sculptures at the entrance are at least two or three hundred years old.

The red roses are densely scattered all around, giving people a rather stylish and subtle feeling as a whole.

When Zuo Si and the members of the six-member council walked through the door, a man in a gown with meticulously combed hair came straight up.

"Ahh The hero who saved Ascatla has finally arrived. Please come in, the banquet will officially begin. ”

Soon, he led the two of them through the garden and the entryway into the overcrowded hall.

Less than half a minute away, a member of the Council of Six took the opportunity to whisper, "This is Cole Dellin, a nobleman of great fame in Askatra.

He offered to host a banquet at his home to entertain all the members involved in the operation, and also covered part of the expenses.

But as far as I know, the reason he did this was because he had a son named Anomen, who was training with the Knights of the Burning Heart.

If nothing else, I want to take advantage of the loss of a large number of men by the Order to help him further become a trainee knight. ”

Cole Dellin?

Anomen?

Hearing these two familiar names, Zuo Si immediately realized why when he passed by the road in front of him, he always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Just as he was about to find a casual non-alcoholic drink to moisten his throat, a young man with short brown hair who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old ran briskly down from the second floor and said in a tone full of excitement and excitement, "It is a great honour to meet you, Sir South. I've just heard Grand Master Witherland recount the battle with the demons. You saved Ascatra from the slaughter and destruction of countless cities and the city by demons. ”

"You ......"

Zuo Si had obviously guessed the identity of the other party, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"My name is Anomen, Anomen Delrin, and I have just become a priest of Heim, the god of the guard, and I am training with the Knights of the Burning Heart. You and Sir Catdon are both idols of whom I have learned and admired. In fact, when it came time to get people into the sewers, I submitted an application that was rejected on the grounds of inexperience. Otherwise, I can join this glorious battle. ”

When he said this, there was a clear strong regret in the young man's tone.

He obviously didn't know that in the battle in the deepest part of the sewers, the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart were almost wiped out, and only Grand Master and Kaidon survived.

A trainee like this who hasn't even won the title of trainee is estimated to be delivering food to the demons even if he goes down.

"Trust me, Anomen, it's for your own good that the Order didn't approve your application.

Because of all the people involved in the operation, in addition to the banquet here today, more than half of them are lying in coffins in the cemetery forever.

Some of them couldn't even find their bodies, so they had to bury the weapons and armor they had brought with them.

The real battle is much more brutal and dangerous than you think, and it is by no means comparable to the task of cleaning up goblins and kobolds. ”

With that, Zuo Si took a sip of the juice sent by the maid.

Just when Arnomen was about to prove himself, Grand Master Witherland suddenly appeared behind him and shouted in a slightly helpless tone: "Alright, Dellin, stop complaining that I didn't approve your request. Because it's too early for you to face the terrifying creatures of the lower planes like demons. However, I promise that when you become a Trainee Knight, you will soon be allowed to participate in some missions. ”

"Really? Can I finally participate in the mission? Arnomen's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes. We've had more than a dozen brothers and sisters killed this time, so the Order needs to promote a lot of people. If nothing else, you can get the title of Trainee Knight in about two months at most. Witherland replied in the affirmative.

"Awesome! I swear with my life and honor that I will never let you down. ”

After getting the promise he wanted, Anomen immediately turned around and rushed to the backyard to share the good news with his friends and sisters.

Looking at his back as he faded away, Witherland couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Alas—young people are really impatient nowadays, aren't they? I wish I hadn't made a bad decision. ”

"Sir Cole Dellin has you been looking for you?"

Zuo Si glanced at Anomen's father, who was chatting and laughing with a group of powerful people out of the corner of his eye.

"Well, yes. The nobleman is trying to expand his family's power by becoming a councillor. And a trainee knight who serves in the Knights of the Burning Heart can obviously bring him a lot of extra points. And he promised to donate a good batch of weapons and armor to the Order, so that we can arm more trainees. ”

Witherland touched his already gray hair and said the deal.

As the supreme leader of the Order of the Burning Heart, he obviously can't be as tenacious as the other paladins, but needs to make some compromises without violating his principles.

This is why most of the Paladins of the Order are of noble origin, or hold at least one title of nobility.

Because only when there is no need for food and clothing, it is possible for a person to pursue such idealistic things as justice and order.

If they go hungry all day, their instincts as creatures will prompt them to do everything they can to find food, gain more wealth, and gain power to change the status quo, and it is impossible to become a holy warrior at all.

According to Zuo Si's understanding, the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart are mainly composed of three parts.

One of them is a lone holy warrior who has come from other places to join, and the other is through nurturing and nurturing from an early age.

For example, Kaidon's family was a paladin who had served Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, for generations.

His grandfather was a holy warrior, his father was a holy warrior, and he himself is still a holy warrior in this generation, which is a typical son inheriting his father's business.

As for the last one, it is through the recruitment of teenagers who have volunteered, and then they undergo rigorous training and cultivation to acquire the basic qualities to become a holy warrior.

However, due to various reasons, not many of these teenagers were able to pass the test and be promoted to the rank of Paladin.

Most of them spend their lives as squires, following the paladins on their quest for evil, until one day they die in battle, or they are too old to hold a sword and eventually retire.

Of course, there are also some who can't stand the harsh dogma and eventually defect from the Order and fight all kinds of criminal activities in the way they think is right.

The fate of these people was basically either cleaned up by the Knights, or they were killed by the revenge of the shadow thieves.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy for this grand master to be the leader." By the way, what about Sir Cashdon? Why didn't I see him? ”

Witherland replied with a smile, "Sir Catdon's second child has been born, and he is at home with his wife and his newborn child, and he has the time to attend some banquets." However, the prize money from the six-member council allowed him to buy some more expensive gifts to appease his wife's dissatisfaction. ”

"He went on such a dangerous mission when his wife was pregnant and about to give birth?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

At this moment, he finally understood a little why Kaidong's wife finally chose to cheat.

Whoever it is, you can't help it when you meet this kind of "superb" husband.

"I tried to persuade Kaidon, but it didn't work.

Perhaps this is the price to be paid for the pursuit of justice.

After all, the members of the Knights of the Burning Heart end up dying in battle against evil, and almost no one survives to die a natural death.

Today's banquet is a celebration of victory, so let's not talk about these disappointments, and finally wish you a pleasant evening.

You must know that many noble ladies are here for you. ”

With that, Witherland raised his glass in motion, then raised his head and drank it down, turning and disappearing into the crowd.

It can be seen that he is actually in no mood to participate in this so-called "celebration banquet" at all, and is just forced to cooperate with the six-member council for a political performance.

After all, just yesterday, the Order held a solemn mass funeral, and witnessed the weeping of the families who had lost their fathers, husbands, and sons.

In contrast, Alan Linville, who attended on behalf of the Shadow Thieves Guild, was not at all burdened, and was even in the mood to flirt with a "big-hearted" noblewoman.

I didn't feel that in this operation, the elite assassins and thieves sent by the shadow thieves were collectively wiped out, and none of them even came back alive.

However, when he noticed that Zuo Sizheng was sitting alone in the corner, he immediately left the noble lady who had been teased to the point of spring, walked through the crowd with a very dexterous step, sat on the chair next to him, and asked in a half-joking tone: "What." Are those slim human maidens not to your taste? Or do you prefer something a little exotic? ”

"It has nothing to do with taste, they approach me with some ulterior motives, I just don't like to be troubled." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disapprehrovingly.

"Hah! The typical cold mage's way of thinking. Believe me, after this incident, no one in the whole of Ascatra will dare to trouble you anymore. So you can enjoy it without being responsible. Alan Linville whispered.

Zuo Si looked up and down the titular supreme leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild with slightly strange eyes.

"You're here to talk about this boring stuff? If I really need this, I can summon any succubus, lust demon, water goblin, or tree spirit to get the ultimate enjoyment. For mages, addressing physical desires is about keeping one's brain calm and sane, not what you understand it to be. ”

"Damn! You're so boring. Alan Linville sighed slightly and took out a piece of parchment from his bosom. Here, take a look. ”

"What is this?"

Zuo Si took it and spread it out, and found that the names of dozens of commodities were densely recorded on it, as well as the weights marked on the back.

Alan Linville replied without thinking, "As you can see, this is a list of items that have been sold in large quantities in the Nélancer Islands lately. We hope to be able to get it at a better price. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"Come less! You are the de facto controller of the Nlanthor Islands, and the pirates are all at your command. Alan Linville rolled his eyes in annoyance.

You don't need to ask to know that the Shadow Thieves Guild has long investigated the situation in the Nelantel Islands.

After all, this matter has long been no secret to many forces.

Similarly, the arcane mysticism society, a new organization of spellcasters, has gradually come into people's field of vision and has become a target of attention.

Regarding Alan Linwell's statement, Zuo Si neither admitted nor denied it, but only asked in a slightly playful tone: "Do you plan to carry out large-scale smuggling activities when you buy so many goods at one time?" ”

"That's right. We plan to use this opportunity to make a fortune and expand our presence on the West Coast, especially in the Waterdeep area. In return, we can provide you with some of the most secret and untold information. ”

Alan Linville was straightforward about the conditions.

Returning to Waterdeep to take revenge on the lords who had expelled them in the first place has always been a long-cherished wish of the Shadow Guild's higher-ups, and it is also the driving force behind their active expansion.

Destroying the normal trade system of Waterdeep City through a large amount of smuggling can not only crack down on those merchants and nobles, but also support underground guild organizations that tend to be shadow thieves, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

And when the power of these thieves' guilds grows larger and larger, and even begins to be able to infiltrate the upper echelons to influence decision-making, the shadow thieves can return to Waterdeep openly and launch a reckoning with their former enemies.

Regarding the high-level plans of the shadow thief, it is naturally impossible for Zuo Si not to know.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded happily: "Deal." But the premise is that I don't care what method you use, anyway, the transaction must go according to the normal process. As for how to transport and dispose of it after you buy it, that's your own business. ”

"Hehe, no problem. I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Alan Linville agreed without even thinking about it.

Because this is not a problem at all for the Shadow Thief Guild, which has a huge amount of power.

If necessary, they can even pull up a fleet of ships in a week.

After achieving the most important purpose of the trip, Alan Linville became noticeably more relaxed, and even began to talk about the violent conflict that had recently erupted between the Bann and Shirek of Santilburg.

As Ciric, who inherited all the priesthood of the three gods of death, gradually completed his transformation from mortal to god, he finally began to pour out his efforts to gather the power of Mirkor, Baal, and Bane in the mortal world.

Most of Baal's followers immediately turned to Ciric, and also gave him Baal, the new god name of Ciric.

The situation was similar for the second Reaper, Mirkor, and the Church was incorporated into Shirek with almost no resistance.

But only the followers of Bane, the god of tyranny, refused to submit to Ciric.

Quite the opposite!

They became more united under the leadership of Manson and Fuzor Chamberbery, and continued to push the Church of Shirek out of the Santarinians and Santilburg.

And this behavior undoubtedly angered the proud, arrogant, and arrogant Ciric.

Not long ago, the internal contradictions in Santilburg finally accumulated to the point where they could no longer be concealed, and the first large-scale civil strife broke out.

Unfortunately, due to the mountainous and loosely organized nature of the Shirek Church, it was no surprise that their seizure of power was mercilessly suppressed.

Including the four faction leaders and more than 600 participants, all of them were killed.

The strength that had been gathered so hard dissipated.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, Fort Santil will remain firmly in the hands of the Bann Church.

But in the same way, Ciric will not accept defeat, but will try to bring Santil Fort and Santarim under his control again, and in anger, he will directly descend on the avatar and destroy the entire city.

After all, there are no restrictions on such a thing as the incarnation of a god in the Faren Continent.

It's just that usually, when a god descends to the incarnation, then it is very likely that the god who is hostile to him will also descend to the incarnation.

Just as after the arrival of the orc god Guush, the dwarf god and the elven god also came.

But the situation at Santil Fort is somewhat peculiar.

It was originally sheltered by Bane, the god of tyranny.

But the problem: Bane had died in the turbulent year, and now there was only one son of a god with demigod power left to barely support him, and it was not enough to resist Ciric, who was a powerful god.

As for the other gods of the good faction who don't deal with Ciric, they won't spend time and energy saving a city full of evil people.

"It seems that the fate of the destruction of Santil Fort is already sealed." Zuo Si said bluntly after listening to the information gathered by the shadow thief.

"You mean...... Will the Dark Sun personally descend on the avatar to destroy the Fort of Santil? Alan Linville's mouth grew in surprise.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Almost." If it were another god, perhaps he would have taken into account the bitter lessons of the turbulent year. But Ciric is different, his radical and moody personality dictates that there is nothing he does not dare to do. If I were you, I would have completely severed all cooperation with the Santarin Society and Santilburg in the near future, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. ”

"Damn! Thanks for reminding me, I'll take care of it when I get back. ”

A look of apprehension suddenly appeared on Alan Linville's face.

You must know that the top management of the Shadow Thieves Guild originally planned to use this opportunity to cooperate with the Santarin Society in the Northlands.

But now it seems that this is tantamount to setting yourself on fire.

"You're welcome, I hope that Askatra can maintain its current state of stability and prosperity, and the Shadow Thieves Guild is an indispensable part. Also, help me investigate if there are any red dragons in Amm who have reached the age of ancient dragons or even primeval dragons, as well as the location and range of their nests. ”

Zuo Si unceremoniously handed over the task of searching for a red dragon that met the requirements to the other party.

As the head of the earth, these guys must know a lot of dragons' nests and ranges, and they don't know how to deal with some of them.

His guess turned out to be correct.

When Alan Linville heard this request, he first froze for a moment, and then he was very puzzled and tentatively asked, "You don't want to kill or capture an ancient dragon, do you?" ”

"You don't care what I do, just give me information. Also, for those goods, I don't want meaningless things like gold coins, but better exchange them for precious stones, mythril, adamantite, cold iron, or other rare and precious magic materials, items, and scrolls. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the other party's reaction, and stood up directly and walked towards the study on the second floor.

For he saw a member of the Council of Six beckoning to him in a very subtle manner.

After getting rid of the girls and noblewomen who wanted to come forward to talk to him and entering the study, Zuo Si saw at a glance that the six people who held Am's supreme power were sitting around the sofa, obviously waiting for him for a long time.

The old man at the head was the first to ask, "I heard that you have something important to talk to us about?" ”

"Yes. I think you'll already know that the Nrainser Islands are a force under my control, right? Zuo Si got straight to the point.

"Of course. We are very glad that you have established order in an otherwise chaotic sea, which is great news for all merchants. Tell me, are you in trouble? As long as we can help, we will help. ”

Another member of the six-member council expressed his attitude clearly.

Although all ships are required to pay 10% of the profits to the Nélancer Islands, this is nothing compared to safe and stable trade.

Not to mention that the Nälancer Islands are also the largest producer of sugar, which is a perfect complement to Amm's burgeoning new world cocoa trade.

Coupled with the fact that the island's population is small, there is even less commercial activity, and more than half of its export share is held by the nearest Ammerchant.

Even the ships docked in the harbor are mostly Amm's.

In addition, the war between the Nærancer Islands and Baldur's Gate has completely sealed down this city with great potential.

As a result, the Council of Six has a strong opinion of the Nrainthor Islands, and is eager to sign an alliance agreement immediately.

When the time comes, the two sides will join forces and directly monopolize the maritime trade from the entire Sword Sea to the Sword Bay area, so that other city-states will not have the opportunity to drink soup.

Seeing the positive attitude of these top elites of Am, Zuo Si immediately shook his head with a smile: "No, it's not that I'm in trouble, but I'm about to start a war with the Arcane Brotherhood, intending to completely occupy and annex Luskan. ”

"What? Annexation of Luskan! ”

The old man at the head stood up directly from the sofa and raised his head to stare at the map of the west coast of the Faren continent hanging on the wall of the study.

After about a dozen seconds, he quickly understood what it would mean if the Nrainsel Islands really defeated the Arcane Brotherhood and captured Luskan.

That means that a super sea power will take shape across the Sea of Blades, the Bay of Blades, and all the way to the Far North.

To the south of the Sea of Sword, Myratma would become a fulcrum on land, closely connected to the Nerainsel Islands across the Racing Strait.

To the north of the Sea of Swords is the Baldur's Gate, an important land fulcrum, and further north are the Korin Islands and the Whalebone Islands.

Finally, there is Luskan, the city of a thousand sails, near the Far North.

All of these islands and port cities will act like a vast net of the most prosperous sea routes for trade.

On top of that, Zuo Si, who is in control, is the chosen of the two gods, as well as a powerful spellcaster who can defeat the secondary Abyss Lords and summon an army of hundreds of monsters out of thin air.

Therefore, once the power is formed, there will be no turmoil for a long time, but it will maintain stable development and become stronger and stronger.

The only thing that made the six-member council feel extremely fortunate was that, to some extent, Zuo Si was a member of the ruling class of Am's state, an out-and-out "own person".

After a quiet discussion, the old man at the head asked, "Are you sure that this kind of behavior will not provoke fierce opposition from important city-states like Silvermoon City, Neverwinter, and Waterdeep City in the Northlands?" ”

Zuo Si replied meaningfully, "Don't worry, I've already consulted Lord Kelburn, Lady Erastro, and Lord Nasir. Among them, Waterdeep City and Silvermoon City will maintain an attitude of turning a blind eye, or even acquiescing. The Lord of Nasir has made an alliance with me, and will then form an alliance with the surrounding towns to hold back a portion of Luskan's forces. ”

"Now that you've got everything ready, go ahead and do it. Politically, we will give you our full support. But the military side may not be able to do anything, and Am's army has always been a little stretched. You know that. ”

The old man's tone revealed the helplessness of hating iron but not steel.

There was a time when he wanted to abolish Am's current conscription system and hire two or three thousand knights and hoplites from other countries, such as the kingdom of Tesser, which was in the midst of civil war in the south.

But considering that these people's roots are not in Am, there is no way to guarantee their loyalty, so they have to be stopped.

"I don't need military support, but I need some cargo ships to transport supplies. Knowing that Luskan was not a city that could be sustained by local agriculture, I needed at least fifty ships to arrive in time for the end of the war with food and other necessities. I will pay for these supplies according to the price, and I will allow them to leave the fashion full of local products. ”

Zuo Si unhurriedly put forward the conditions.

Although he had chests blessed with the Traceless Stretching Charm, which could be used for large-scale transportation of supplies, there was no need to use outdated means of transportation such as sailboats.

But the problem is that there is no way to calm people's minds by transporting them in boxes.

The inhabitants of Luskan had to see ships full of supplies docked at the port and then bring down large quantities of food and necessities.

In addition, when these merchant ships returned, they would purchase local specialties to revitalize the economy and gradually form stable trade routes.

In addition, the supportive attitude of the Amm government will also give some confidence to those businessmen who are waiting on the sidelines.

In conclusion, defeating the Arcane Brotherhood and capturing Luskan was never a challenge in Zuosi's eyes.

After the occupation, how to transform and rule at the social level is the most difficult part.

"On that note, we can give you a promise here. As soon as the army of the Nälancer Islands occupied Luskan, at least fifty large sea-going ships loaded with the necessities of life would depart from Ascatla. ”

"That's right! My clan will send at least ten ships. ”

"Most of my family's ships are on the Aztec continent, and I only have four ships on hand."

"Count me in. I can draw five ships. ”

……

Hearing that this kind of good thing is completely mutually beneficial and can still make money, the members of the six-member council unanimously chose to take practical actions to support.

You must know that although the Far North is cold and barren, it is rich in many valuable things.

Among them, the handicrafts carved from fish bones are the most famous specialties of the ten towns of Icewind Valley.

There are also things like furs, herbs, various biological organs that can be used as magical materials, gallbladders, bones, and hair.

In particular, the pure white complete winter wolf fur is worth 800 to 1,000 gold coins each.

The local purchase price was less than 200 gold coins.

The price of daily necessities such as food and iron tools is also much more expensive there than in the south.

So as long as it is safe and secure, it is quite profitable to trade.

However, in the past, these trades were monopolized by the unscrupulous merchants of Beluskan.

Outsiders dare to approach, and in a matter of minutes, they will be ransacked by Luskan's pirates.

But if Luskan were to be annexed by the Nélancer Islands, the situation would naturally be different.

In this way, after discussing the specific details with the six-member council, Zuo Si quickly left the boring banquet and returned to the Mage Tower.

Just as he was standing in the doorway and about to walk in, the demon elf who had called himself Feder suddenly stepped out of the shadows and handed over a note folded into a heart shape.

"Here, this is what the boss asked me to hand over to you, and said that you had better destroy it immediately after reading it, he doesn't want to be chased by the red dragon."

"Got it. Go back and tell Alan Linville that he doesn't have to worry, that no matter what the name of the murderous red dragon is on this note, it is no longer a threat from the moment it reaches my hands. ”

With that, Zuo Si opened the note and browsed the contents at a very fast speed.

However, to his surprise, the name of the red dragon given to him by the other party was not Balagas "Flying Flame", which frequently moved around Am, but another extremely familiar name - Faircrag.

And that's not all!

Below the note is the location of the latter's lair in the Wind Spear Hill, as well as a detailed diagram of the interior.

Obviously, either the Shadow Thieves Guild has some unknown PY deal with this dragon, or they once had the idea of stealing the treasure of "Lao Fei".

"Interesting ......"

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth rose slightly, and he casually lit the note and burned it into black embers.

There is no doubt that Faircrag is a red dragon that he remembers.

This is not to say that Faircrag is stronger than Balagas "Flying Flame" and "Eggeater" Klaus, but he is very good at using his strengths.

In addition, this dragon also has a holy sword that all the holy warriors of the entire Faren Continent dream of - the holy avenger "Kasuomir".

The origin and story of this weapon alone is legendary.

Not to mention the magic resistance it can give to the wielder in battle, as well as the disarming effect on hit.

As a collector, although Zuo Si himself could not use this holy sword, it did not prevent him from wanting to make it a precious collectible.

Just as he was pondering how to clean up Faircrag, he suddenly found that the Demon Elf Assassin was still standing in place and did not leave, and subconsciously frowned and asked, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"The Boss asked me to stay and show you the way." Feder winked playfully.

Her words instantly aroused Zuo Si's vigilance, and she narrowed her eyes and said tentatively: "You shadow thieves should not have any deal with this red dragon called Fairkrage, and then fell out because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and want to borrow my hand to get rid of it, right?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just a low-level minion, and I'm not qualified to know the secrets of the higher-ups. But it doesn't make a difference to you, does it? Fidel asked with a smile.

"You're right, it really doesn't make a difference."

Zuo Si didn't dwell too much on this issue, and turned around and walked into the Mage Tower.

The Demon Elves followed cautiously, keeping a safe distance.
