War is in the minds of most sane and independent-minded people as a serious, dangerous, bloody and cruel affair, full of unpredictable accidents and sudden turns.

Therefore, whoever uses war as a means must think repeatedly and be cautious.

Otherwise, it will bring unimaginable devastating disasters to yourself, your family, and even the country where you live.

But as long as you look at the history of the earth before the modern era, you can see that the real situation is actually just the opposite of what most people think.

Many of the reasons for the outbreak of wars in the Middle Ages were almost the same as jokes.

It was even a personal vendetta between some noble lords and even kings, as well as verbal humiliation, offense, and trivial neighborhood disputes.

And what they do in the course of the war is often full of magic, which makes people wonder if these guys are really serious about fighting?

This is true on Earth, where there is almost no supernatural influence, so there is no need to say much about the continent of Faerun, which is full of magic, dragons, and monsters.

The so-called "people's view of history" is something that does not exist in this world at all.

Ordinary people without any power, no matter how many of them there are, cannot make history, change history, and promote social progress and technological development.

It's all done by gods, heroes, and powerful users of arcane magic.

Without a vote of talented Grand Arcanists such as Iolem, there would be no Nessriel's splendour;

Without the arrogant and conceited madman of Karthas, there would have been no destruction of Nessreel;

Without the elder Acaba Shane, there would not have been a vast empire that occupied the south of the west coast;

If it weren't for the greed of Shain IV, Ivy Kolasagran "Sharp Teeth" would not have attacked like crazy and destroyed the Shane Empire.

Since there are very few people who decide the rise and fall of a country or even a civilization, it can almost be said to be common sense in the land of the Feron Continent.

Without their intervention, there would have been no rise of races and civilizations, let alone so many lost empires and countless ancient ruins buried in the wilderness and ruins.

To this day, adventurers and archaeologists alike can often find treasures from all over the world that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old.

In particular, the power of individuals is too strong, so that power will inevitably be concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people.

As for the civilian population......

I'm sorry, but they don't have a sense of existence in this world at all, neither in history nor in reality.

There is no such thing as the Sarajevo incident in which the little people triggered the historical turn.

Even if ordinary people rebel and rebel, they can easily be suppressed by powerful rulers.

Unless the ruler is both good and weak, and eventually chooses to give up power and let the commoners seize power.

But Shalovok clearly has nothing to do with the words good and weak, and no one is allowed to disobey his will.

After a series of intrigues and schemes to seize control of Baldur's Gate, the first thing he did was to overdraft his finances, hollowing out the chamber of commerce industries controlled by the Shapeshifters, and using the money to recruit more soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, the total number of Flame Fist mercenaries and other peripheral garrisons combined would not exceed a thousand.

On the one hand, due to the reduction in tax revenues due to the deterioration of the economy, it is really impossible to support too many troops.

On the other hand, after the last defeat, the size of the army was limited by the Nälancer Islands, so it could only maintain this number.

Otherwise, it will be attacked and sanctioned from all sides.

But Shalovok apparently didn't care.

His goal is to inherit the Blood Throne through war and killing.

As for what Baldur's Gate would eventually be destroyed, he didn't care at all, he didn't care at all.

The lucrative salaries, combined with the previous hate propaganda, recruited a large number of young adults in a very short period of time.

The number of troops has also swelled from more than 2,000 people after the previous integration to more than 8,000, and even some orcs, orcs, and goblin bandits have been recruited as soldiers.

You must know that the total permanent population of the entire Baldur's Gate is only about 50,000.

Shalovok's behavior is equivalent to draining the most important labor force in society from the age of twenty to thirty-five, and it is completely a posture of reckless militarism.

Women can even be found in places of heavy physical work, such as docks, warehouses and workshops.

On top of that, he emptied the entire Baldur's Gate of steel resources to craft weapons and armor, as well as conduct simple training for recruits.

In order to maximize morale, this guy openly promised that after defeating the army of Santilburg, the most heroic soldiers would become bureaucrats and ruling classes in various towns, giving them titles of nobility, money, houses, land, women, and a series of other rewards.

In a word, Furzor Chamberberry has what he wants.

Because everyone knows that the army of Santilburg has carried out a brutal purge of the ruling class in the occupied territories.

If you can defeat them, the richest lands in the whole of West Hartland and the Dragon Coast can easily be acquired, and even a nation can be established.

And it is highly likely that Shalovok will be the king of this new country.

It can be said that following him is quite a head-start.

In this way, stimulated by the constant beating of chicken blood, painting flatbread and throwing money, the entire Baldur's Gate fell into a state of war frenzy.

Under the bewitchment and persuasion of the shapeshifters, the merchant class also donated generously, providing large loans with high interest rates and various war materials to the Baldur's Gate government, hoping to make a lot of money from them.

They didn't realize that Shalovok had no intention of paying it back.

Joke!

The money was borrowed in the name of the Baldur's Gate government, and of course the Baldur's Gate government was responsible for it.

What's more, in the plan of this son of Baal, when the war is over, he will already be the new god of murder, and when the time comes, someone will dare to come to him to ask for debts?

Tired of living, right?

Believe it or not, I'll arrange it for you right away!

Just as Shalovok was making final preparations for the war, Fuzor Chamberry, who had already swept through the towns on the north bank of the Osa River and successfully joined forces with the Dark Keep Legion, also completed the final repairs and led an army of 15,000 to the troll claws of the intended battlefield.

In this army, the proportion of monsters is impressively more than two-thirds, and the rest are humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves and other races.

Most of the latter are made up of adventurers and mercenaries from neutral or evil camps who join in halfway.

They were either doing so to earn a decent amount of money, or they were trying to get closer to Santilburg and gain permission to join the powers of the region.

Aberdell and his party are one of them right now.

Although he was shamelessly blackmailed by Simon and forced to pay 15,000 gold coins for the "passage fee", the team did not change its original plan.

Because with Shalofok taking complete control of Baldur's Gate, the only one who can fight against it is the forces of Santilburg.

As for how Fort Santil's control of such a vast territory from the Dragon's Coast to Baldur's Gate would affect the situation in the surrounding area, Aberdale didn't care.

To be precise, having seen a few towns under the control of the Bane Church in order may even give one the idea that this is not bad.

There is no such thing as a situation that has just experienced war, where there is chaos, disorder, smashing and looting.

At this moment, the son of Baal was lying in a carriage full of food and munitions, and without looking back, he asked, "Do you think Shalovok will go out of the city to meet the battle?" ”

"Yes! Because if he wants to realize his ambitions, he must prove himself with a crisp victory to win the support of his soldiers. ”

Jasila replied in the affirmative without thinking.

It can be seen that this half-elf druid has not slept well recently, not only has very obvious dark circles around his eyes, but also has a very nervous and anxious mental state.

She had already received information about Shalovok through the harpist's intelligence network, knowing that it would be a great battle that would decide the fate of the two sons of Baal.

From a personal point of view, Jasila certainly hopes that Aberdale will kill Shalophok and avenge the death of Grian.

But the harpist, on the other hand, prefers that the two will die together.

That way, they don't have to worry about two overly powerful sons of Baal fighting each other, which will eventually lead to the birth of a stronger, more terrifying, and more threatening son of the gods.

Jasila has been caught up in a conflict between personal emotions and her role as a harpist.

"In other words, as long as we continue to follow the army, we can find an opportunity to kill him on the battlefield?"

Abdel didn't notice Jasila's strange reaction, her eyes flashing with undisguised anger and hatred.

As a typical simple-minded warrior with well-developed limbs, what he hates most is to think too much, preferring to pursue simple pleasures and hatreds.

On more than one occasion during his previous adventures, Aberdale had been in the tavern with drunken drunkards or provocative adventurers.

In one of the worst cases, he even drew his sword and killed four people, leaving the entire tavern floor soaked in blood.

In order to evade the guards, the team members can only follow along and run out of town.

Their bounty warrant still hangs near the entrance to Belgoust.

"That's right!

Don't forget, we're mercenaries now.

When the time comes, just apply for a scout mission and hide near the battlefield to find an opportunity.

As soon as he saw Shalophok, he rushed up and killed him with lightning speed. ”

Thrall, who was a spy of the Santarin Society, followed and encouraged.

"Are you sure we can beat Shalovok?"

Ammon's tone was fiercely skeptical.

You must know that when fleeing, the two sides met once at the gate of Flame Fist Castle.

As a result, Shalovok didn't even do it himself, and his subordinates alone beat the team members to the ground.

Aberdell rushed forward with a two-handed greatsword, only to be easily forced back by one of his swords, and even the magic missile hit the opponent without causing any obvious damage.

As a fairly self-aware girl, Ammon didn't think it would be a wise choice to raid Shalophok directly.

Montaro shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively: "It's man-made!" Standing behind us was the army of Santil Fort, and as long as they could hold off Shalovok, the soldiers who rushed up after them would be able to surround this guy and beat him to death. ”

You don't have to ask to know that the reason why he and Sal are so active is that they have been instructed by Simanmon to let the two sons of Baal finally meet on the battlefield.

But Aberdell didn't know anything about it, and thought that his teammates were cheering him up, so he immediately grinned and responded, "You have a point." It's man-made! I just don't believe how good Shalovok is. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to make him pay the price of blood and death for calculating us. ”

"And the bounty! Fuzor Chamberry offered a bounty of 30,000 gold coins for Shalofok's head. Sal added with interest.

"Hah! That's great news! Killing Shalovok will not only take revenge, but also double the gold we lost before. ”

Aberdell clenched his fists excitedly.

After all, he was haunted by the fact that he was stabbed by Xi Manmeng before.

Seeing that several people began to discuss excitedly how to kill Shalovok and earn a large bounty by the way, Jasila sighed helplessly, turned her head and asked her husband, "Honey, how do you think we should choose this time?" ”

Khalid shook his head with a wry smile and stammered, "I...... I don't know. But...... But we must not live up to Grion's trust, and at least protect his adopted son. ”

"You're right. No matter what happens, we can't live up to his trust. ”

After saying this, Jasila rubbed her cheeks vigorously twice, and then set her eyes on the white bear cub who had been following the group for a long time, Atio.

She knew very well that if something unforeseen happened, then the Beastmaster and the unseen master would be the last cards.

As the situation in Fort Santil and Baldur's Gate became more and more tense, and the final battle was about to break out, far away in the capital of Amm in the south, Ascatla, the first all-member council of the Trade Alliance was officially convened under the auspices of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

As the initiator and the actual manipulator behind it, Zuo Si expounded his vision of creating a unified market and currency in front of all the delegates.

Most importantly, he succeeded in convincing everyone to cancel their original currency and switch to a new monetary system with the face of the goddess of wealth, Workin.

There are three types of gold, two types of platinum, six types of silver coins, and four types of copper coins.

The main reason for this complexity is to break down the weight and purchasing power of each currency.

Prevent the occurrence of a situation in which precious metal gold coins are often cut in half or even more in the course of trading.

The member towns all looked at the samples sent by the servants, as well as the exquisite patterns and alliance marks, and all showed satisfied expressions.

At least in terms of the quality of the currency, they can't fault anything at all.

Some even wonder if it would be too much of a fuss to make a cheap copper rust-resistant coin with such a fine coinage, and if it would be a loss.

In this regard, Zuo Si just wants to say that you are completely ignorant of the capacity and cost reduction of large-scale industrial assembly lines.

Cost?

The full set of coinage machines he bought on another planet cost nothing at all, and were entirely sponsored by "zealous" capitalists, drug dealers, and warlords.

The electrical energy that sustains daily operations also comes from the elemental plane.

Except for the time and materials that took a little time to build the power grid, there was basically no need for money.

As for the labor cost......

I'm sorry!

The Floating City is already using fully automatic robots that don't need to rest or pay salaries, as well as multifunctional plug-and-play corpse mobs.

Even the ingredients were scavenged from the Mirrodin plane for free.

Zuo Si paid only a fraction of the food, water, and livestock products produced in the floating city world in exchange.

There are not many people in the floating city world at all, and the grain harvested from the large areas of automated farmland every year is not even one percent of it, and all of it is piled up in the warehouse.

That's why he never feared that war would lead to the desolation of vast swathes of land from the Dragon's Coast to Baldur's Gate, and eventually famine.

As long as Zuo Si is willing, he can provide enough rations to feed all the intelligent beings in the entire Faren Continent for several years at any time.

In addition, the Mirrodin plane is not only rich in various alloys and magical metals, but also common metals such as copper, gold, and silver are very pure, and they are basically more than 95% when they are dug up.

Ore?

I'm sorry, but this is a high-purity finished product, and it can be put into use directly after a little melting and refining.

And under the illumination of the five mana core suns, all metal resources will be continuously regenerated.

A little bit of it could easily bring down a world that uses precious metals as its base currency.

Therefore, Zuo Si is very confident to assure everyone that he will provide sufficient money supply to ensure financial liquidity, and at the same time establish the church of Workin, the goddess of wealth, in various towns, and provide a series of services including loans, remote deposits and withdrawals, etc.

When he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause.

Both the representatives of the towns and the people of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth were fascinated by this grand blueprint and saw a picture of prosperity and wealth.

In fact, with the opening of more and more airship lines, quite a few towns have enjoyed the great benefits it brings.

As we all know, in a world where transportation and productivity are extremely backward.

Everything that is traded across regions is often not an ordinary daily necessities, but must have high value-added goods.

It's as if before the Industrial Age, European colonists on Earth went to sea by boat for colonial expansion, mainly to acquire luxury goods.

Only those things that were small, valuable, easy to store, and could be sold for a high price in European high society were eligible to be carried into the cabin.

For example, silk, tea, porcelain, spices, gold, silver, expensive wood, furs, precious stones, and so on.

Even the notorious black slaves were out-and-out luxuries in the American market, where labor was scarce, and definitely not something that ordinary people could afford.

It was not until the advent of the Industrial Age that the expansion of European colonization quickly transformed from occupying a few ports and strongholds along the coast for the sake of obtaining luxury goods, to obtaining raw materials and markets.

Whether it was Britain, which established its empire on a global scale, or France, which was nicknamed the Gallic Rooster because of its occupation of a large number of African colonies, it was basically during this period that they began to build, garrison, and set up administrative institutions in the colonies, and gradually completely incorporated them into their control.

But now, Zuo Si used the airship to directly skip the process of long-distance transactions that could only be luxuries, and smashed the transportation cost from the sky to the ground.

This meant that the people who could benefit from the trade alliance were not just merchants or aristocrats, but also a large number of ordinary people.

The rapid flow of commodities means that it stimulates production, creates wealth and value, and ultimately achieves economic prosperity.

After seeing the sample of the currency, Erebes, the first paladin of Neverwinter, who came to the meeting on behalf of the Lord of Nasir, immediately raised his hand and asked, "Your Excellency Soth! If all the currencies are issued by the Union in the future, what will happen to the tax gap that we used to get from minting? ”

"Don't worry about that.

At the end of the expedition, we will pay a sum of money every year to the towns that already have the ability to mint coins as compensation.

However, this money will not be distributed forever, but will decrease every year until it is finally abolished altogether.

Because I believe that as the market booms and trade grows, this small gap will soon be filled by more and more taxes. ”

Zuo Si gave an explanation with a smile on his face.

Ever since he learned about the precious metal content of the currency of the continent of Faeron, he knew too well how lucrative seigniorage could be.

And the larger the size, the wider the sphere of influence, and the more prosperous the market, the more it can reap the staggering financial supplement from the seigniorage.

No town or country would be willing to give up its own coinage.

Therefore, Zuo Si directly chose to make an exchange of interests, and first issued a sum of money to Neverwinter City and the Silver Moon Alliance in exchange for the loss of seigniorage.

As for Waterdeep......

The masked lords, guild leaders, and nobles were still bickering with each other, and they still hadn't been able to come to an agreement.

Hearing that there was compensation, Erebeth immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you very much!" I guess there's nothing wrong with me anymore. ”

"I'm okay too!"

"Me too!"

Erastro and Aoi Lu also took a stand.

The latter, in particular, as a dark elf, caused a lot of confusion when she first appeared, until she learned that she was the chosen one of the goddess of magic and one of the Seven Sisters of the Northland.

The rest, like the Chancellor Shaw Tarowian, who attended on behalf of Sean VII, and Eric, the titular ruler of the Nellancer Islands and Luskan, are basically two echoworms.

No matter what Zuo Si said, their reaction was to applaud first, and then praise and flatter them to the fullest, for fear that they would be slow to pat themselves.

Although Willa, Am's representative, did not make a fool of himself, but his reaction was basically nodding in approval.

With the consent of these powerful representatives, where do those small towns dare to oppose it, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in their stomachs.

"In that case, then we will execute it according to this agreement."

As he spoke, Zuo Si handed the plan in his hand to the representative of the Goddess of Wealth, Oak Church.

The latter was suddenly like a treasure, and he couldn't hold back the ecstasy revealed in his eyes.

With this plan, he has been able to see the influence of his goddess increase throughout the West Coast.

After talking about the economy and trade, Erastro finally couldn't help but ask, "Soth, what do you think of the war that is breaking out in the north?" ”

"I won't make a move until the Baldur's Gate is defeated."

Zuo Si quietly gave the answer.

"And what if Baldur's Gate is defeated?" Erasstra continued to ask.

Zuo Si replied with a smile, "If Baldur's Gate is defeated, I will send troops in the name of Amm to defeat the invaders of Santil Fort and liberate all the lands from Baldur's Gate to the Dragon's Coast.

I'm sure you saw it when you came, and Amm was fully prepared.

We can strike a fatal blow to Vouzor Chamberbury at any time. ”

"And after that? Will Amm annex and rule over occupied towns and villages? ”

Erebeth couldn't help but interject.

"It's up to the local people to choose.

If they need Amm to stay and provide protection and order, then of course we have a duty.

But if they refuse, we will allow them to establish self-government. ”

Zuo Si said a high-sounding scene straightforwardly.

Because under the cleansing of the army of Santilburg, the original ruling class of that land was either killed or transported to the Moon Sea as slaves to be sold.

After Fuzor Chamberbery withdrew, the remaining civilians did not know how to organize the authorities, how to maintain order and the law, and they could not be caught in chaos.

So there is simply no second option other than to merge into Am's rule.

If anyone can't figure it out, let Vermes or Kurremos control their monsters to go around the corresponding town twice and cause some small damage, and the other party will soon cry and cry and beg the Amm garrison not to leave.

"Well said!

With your open-mindedness and bearing, as well as respect for public opinion, on behalf of Neverwinter, I officially declare that I will stand by your side in the next war.

At that time, we will send 500 reinforcements to fight alongside Am. ”

Erebeth stood up and saluted.

Probably because she was going to attend an important occasion, she didn't wear that sturdy armor today, but a long white low-cut dress.

When you bend down, you suddenly show a different scenery.

Zuo Si obviously liked this "rich and generous" young lady of the Holy Warrior very much, as well as her upright personality, and responded with a smile: "That's really thankful.

With Neverwinter joining, it's a testament to the unity of our trade alliance and our determination to stand up to the invaders.

Personally, I look forward to working with you, Ms. Timarand.

After all, you are the most powerful and beautiful paladin in Neverwinter, and you have defended the glory of Tyr, the god of justice, more than once. ”

"It's my honor that you've won so much."

Erebeth was visibly embarrassed by the compliment, and a faint flush appeared on her face.

No way!

Who has surrounded her with a bunch of rigid, dogmatic, and humorless members of the Church of the God of Justice?

When encountering Zuo Si's "oily tone", a guy who is good at figuring out psychology and playing with human nature, it is easy to be eaten to death.

And Zuo Si knows very well that today's Erebes is not complete.

There is also a dark side hidden in her body, which is the opposite opposite.

Twin Souls Vadaria!

This is Erebeth's real name, and it is also a true reflection of her personality and soul.

Only when she embraces the darkness will she show her truest side.

After finishing the main topics, Zuo Si quickly handed over the task of hosting and entertaining to the people of the Goddess of Fortune Church.

Just as he was about to find a chance to turn around and leave, he suddenly found that Erasdra and Aoi Lu had been blocking the door for a long time.

Zuo Si, who had long expected this situation, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and walked straight to the front and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Two beautiful ladies, are you waiting for me?" ”

"Or else? Is there a second person in this room who is worth waiting for? Of course, if you'd like to go after that Miss Erebeth from Neverwinter, we don't mind waiting a little longer. Erastro teased with a chuckle.

There was no doubt that Zosi was interested in Erebes, who was a paladin, and she was not surprised at all.

Because there is no one in this world who can resist the amazing charm that the paladin exudes.

Even the wicked are attracted to the goodness, justice, and holiness they display.

Many of the nobles of the good camp even took pride in being able to pursue a paladin as a wife or husband.

"I'm after Erebes?

This kind of joke is not to be made!

Other people don't know who I really am, and you probably know best.

And I don't get along with the holy knights who admit death.

My feelings about Erebis are not so much admiration as seeing something special and wanting to collect.

It's a selfish possessiveness, not what you think of as love. ”

With that, Zuo Si picked up a glass of juice from the waiter who passed by, raised his head and drank it all.

After saying so many words on the podium just now, his mouth was already a little dry.

"Can you tell the difference between love and possessiveness?"

Aoi Lu raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Because she has met many people in her life, but most of them can't tell the difference between the two.

Especially when the brain is affected by hormones, it is good to be able to maintain a minimum of sanity.

"Why not?"

Zuo Si put the empty cup back into the tray and shrugged his shoulders.

"I think the most important thing for a person is to understand himself, control himself, and satisfy himself appropriately.

What's more, do you think I'm the kind of newbie who has never been in a relationship before?

No!

You are wrong.

I also have an official girlfriend.

It's just that she's not in this world. ”

"What? You're actually in a relationship! What's her name? What does it look like? How old is it? Is it a human or some other race? ”

Erasdra's voice rose sharply an octave, asking a barrage of questions in one breath, while a fire of gossip burst out of his eyes.

Because she originally thought that Zuo Si, who was a traveling mage, had some unknown secret XP, so there have been no scandals with the opposite sex.

Aoi Lu is also not much better, with an expression of "you continue" written all over her face.

"You're blocking me here to inquire about my privacy?"

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth twitched wildly uncontrollably, and he took two steps back slightly to open a safe distance from the two women.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Realizing that there was something wrong with his reaction just now, Erasdra immediately let out a cough to ease the embarrassment, and forcibly explained, "Aren't I curious? If you have time, you might as well take your little girlfriend to visit Silvermoon City, I'd love to see what a girl who can pique your interest is like. ”

"If I had the chance, I would." Zuo Si said casually.

According to the original plan, until the Son of Baal incident and the Eye of the Storm were resolved, he would not leave Faeron for the time being to go to other worlds.

Seeing that Zuo Si didn't want to talk about this topic, Kwai Lu immediately gave Erasdra a color, and the latter immediately turned around and said tentatively, "Soth, you recently made a deal with Sazastan, the head of the necromantic faction of the red-robed mage, right?" ”

"Ahh Yes. I gave him the eye left on the physical plane by an avatar of the god of storms, Talos, and he paid for two artifacts and a high-level magic item. ”

Zuo Si didn't hide anything, and generously admitted it.

Because of such a big move, he didn't plan to hide it at all, and he was even mentally prepared to be hit by the Storm Queen Xinbu to ask the master for guilt.

"Why are you doing this? Don't you know how dangerous that Vision is in the hands of Sazastan? Aoi Lu questioned with a frown.

But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Sazastan can't easily use the power of the Eye of the Storm, let alone become a god with it."

In fact, I did a bit of tricking while sealing that eye.

Whoever opens the seal will trigger a terrible storm that will destroy everything within a five-kilometer radius.

And when the seal is broken, I can sense it and immediately confirm its location.

Also, I don't plan to actually give the eye of the storm to Sazastan, but I'm going to find an opportunity to recycle it.

So you don't have to be so nervous, it's still under my control. ”

"So...... The whole thing is part of the plan? Did you deliberately leak the news so that Sazastan would be constantly attacked and harassed? ”

Erasdr instantly realized the truth behind it, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

She couldn't accept that the young man in front of her actually used Sazastan and his powerful red-robed mages as pawns, manipulating and playing with them unscrupulously.

The most incredible thing is that Sazastan has no way to fight back at all, but to swallow this bitter fruit brought by greed.

Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "The answer is yes."

I want to turn Sazastan into a delicious and tempting bait.

Let's take a fish, how many strong people are still hidden in this world, who are eager to become gods.

Another point is to divert attention.

I'm about to move on to the Baldur's Gate area, and I don't want to be disturbed in any way.

With Sazastan as a target, many legendary mages, including Ilminster, would not waste their energy on continuing to focus on such trivial matters.

After all, compared to the eyes of Talos, the god of storms, a change of ownership of a piece of land is nothing at all. ”

After hearing this, both Aoi Lu and Erastro fell silent for an instant.

Because they didn't expect Zuo Si's game of chess to be so big, whether it is the pattern, means or the degree of thoughtfulness, it is far beyond the limit that most people can imagine.

The most important thing is that even knowing the truth doesn't change anything.

After a long silence, Erastro finally couldn't help but sigh slightly and broke the silence: "Alas, Soth, don't you feel tired if you always maintain such a high-intensity thinking and fighting spirit? ”

"Tired?

Why am I feeling tired?

On the contrary, I just enjoyed it.

After all, struggle is in the nature of all intelligent beings.

Just as some people like to play chess, some people like to wrestle, some people like horse racing, some people like fighting and war, they all have a common essence of fighting.

People derive joy, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment from winning battles.

Whether good or evil, order or chaos, the nature of strife is present in the soul of every human being.

Since we can't get rid of it, why not hug and enjoy?

What's more, even if I stop, will the other forces and those potential enemies cease?

The answer is clearly no.

So why don't I take the initiative and get them into a scramble first? ”

Zuo Si's eyes narrowed, exuding an aura of depth, darkness, and danger.

Unlike many passive personalities who "don't offend me, I don't offend others", he gradually cultivated a strong active personality through continuous growth.

Like the hot-blooded protagonist in many anime works, wait for others to you, and then be forced to fight back?

How can it be!

Compared with defense, Zuo Si prefers to take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to do things, and let the enemy bear the troubles and losses.

In this way, the enemy will be in the dilemma of constantly defending passively, and there will be no way to organize forces to actively look for trouble.

"You're really ......"

Aoi Lu obviously didn't know what words to use to describe the young man in front of her.

Although there are many people on the continent of Faeron who are very keen on engaging in conspiracy and long-term fighting, and even deliberately create this kind of environment within the scope of their control.

But as aggressive as possible, Zuo Si is obviously still the first.

In particular, the endless means and unbridled thinking have made him an extremely dangerous character.

At this moment, Aoi Lu finally understood a little why Ilminster didn't like Zuosi, and even made an enemy of him.

A master like this, who can do things, and who specializes in big things, is completely contrary to Ilminster's character of peace, quiet, and preferably everything as it is.

But fortunately, both of them were quite restrained, and maintained the fight within a certain range, and had no intention of continuing to expand.

Otherwise, there is a high chance that the Goddess of Magic elect will split in half and go their separate ways.

(End of chapter)
