For the next few days, there was an eerie atmosphere in the Mage Tower.

Although Yalusail is still trying to maintain his usual pride, the emptiness revealed in his eyes cannot be concealed.

Every time she meets Aisha by chance, the muscles of her whole body will tense at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, she is highly nervous, flustered, and even actively chooses to avoid it.

There is no doubt that this self-righteous woman not only failed to get her wish to make some trouble for the other party, but let the other party get herself done at one time.

Today, the Iron Princess of the Cormier Kingdom is like a frightened rabbit.

I was afraid that the little that happened on the sofa would be known to others, especially Zuo Si himself.

As everyone knows, Zuo Si has already watched the whole process several times from the perspective of appreciating "art", and even made a detailed analysis and comment on the various psychological techniques used, the step-by-step rhythm control, and the reaction to touching different sensitive parts.

If the previous teasing of Yalusail was more spiritual, now he was able to use even more aggressive ways to make the disgruntled princess completely abandon all self-esteem and shame in a matter of minutes.

In addition, compared with Yalusel's nervousness and panic, Aisha is completely like a nobody, still maintaining her usual image of a restrained, intellectual, and gentle good wife and mother.

Compared with the previous situation in the process of engaging in Ji, with rich skills, the former was beaten to the point of no resistance.

The most important thing is that, judging by the extremely stable mental state, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it in the slightest.

I have to say that it was really unexpected for things to develop to this extent.

It wasn't until he spied into Aisha's memories and thoughts to figure out what her true thoughts were, and he realized how different the perceptions and habits of the women in the Karin shirt were from those in other parts of the Feron Continent.

If women elsewhere see marriage and their husbands as partners, relatives, and lovers, they are more likely to see them as a form of responsibility, a contractual relationship, and a long-term meal ticket.

For most women in the Carlin shirt, learning the art of pleasing men, having children, and using their bodies to provide them with various stimulation services are essentially fulfilling their contractual responsibilities.

Men are contractually responsible for supporting themselves until death.

Even if one day they are too old and decrepit to make the men they serve sexually interested in them, the latter will have to maintain their original offerings.

Otherwise, this kind of scum scum will be disgusted, despised, and ostracized by the entire Karlin shirt society.

Because of this, when flaunting their power and wealth, the men of the upper class of Carlin shirts preferred to tell others how many wives and slaves they had, unlike Ammer's penchant for charitable donations.

It's not like some superficial men in modern society on Earth are flaunting their abilities.

On the contrary, he is telling the other party that he can afford to support so many women until they maintain a decent and even luxurious life until they die of old age.

Of course, this is only for the wealthy.

The wives of poor families should work and work, and they should also work.

It's just that from the moment the wife began to earn money to support the family, her husband lost the right to find a second woman.

Unless the husband suddenly makes a windfall and can ensure that his wife does not have to go to work in the future.

In other words, the relationship between the husband and wife of Carlin shirt is not so much emotion and love as it is closer to a transaction.

It's not that women are loyal to their husbands or masters and tolerate other women, it's not that they don't want to pursue freedom and independence, and it's not that they don't like young and handsome teenagers.

Just to make sure that you and your future generations can have a good living environment.

After figuring out Aisha's underlying thinking logic, Zuo Si didn't pay much attention to the slightly complicated and subtle relationship between these two women.

Instead of deliberately poking to embarrass Yalusel, he chose to acquiesce.

Because after a series of preparations, he is finally going to be crowned the monarch of the Amm Empire.

Even Bernard, who financed all kinds of rebels in Sambia and bought all kinds of properties at low prices, rushed all the way back.

Since the airship had already opened an air route directly to the West Gate, it was much more convenient for him to come back than when he went.

At least you don't have to cross the entire Dragon Coast plus West Hartland and then take the sea route from Baldur's Gate to Ascatla.

When he returned home, the successful businessman, who was in the prime of his life, saw his wife sitting in the living room teasing his son, as well as his father-in-law and his best friend.

"Ahh You're finally back, dear Bernard. I've heard that you're in Sambia, and you're playing with the Sambian oligarchs. ”

Babette Naciwa was the first to stand up and give Bernard a warm hug.

As he grew older, the heir of the Nasheva family looked noticeably more mature, and wore a large number of magical items on his body.

You don't have to ask to know that all of this has to do with Zuo Si's vigorous promotion of the popularity of magic.

Since realizing that the previous way of relying on monopoly expansion to make money was completely unworkable, Amfan's powerful big family began to actively change direction, and began to pay attention to training young juniors to become arcane spellcasters, and actively involved in related industries.

After all, there is the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and if he continues to accumulate money frantically and become richer, it is no different from a pig that has been fattened and slaughtered.

So how to quickly spend some money to disappear from that dangerous list has become a science.

Because they have always been close to Zuo Si, and at the same time have carried out a lot of cooperation and interest binding, the Nashiwar family has decisively chosen to develop in the direction of arcane magic.

Not only did he send the six brightest and youngest juniors to the academy to receive mage training, but he also signed a contract to become a second-tier dealer, selling low-level items, scrolls, and potions made by the academy and the mage tower to the inhabitants of the Aztec continent on the other side of the sea.

As the current head of the family, Sir Kelvin firmly believes that as long as he follows in Zuosi's footsteps, the Nashiva family will never appear on the blacklist that terrifies the upper class of Am's society.

To this end, he even did not hesitate to sell many of his properties in Askatra, including shops, warehouses, estates, etc.

Bernard smiled wryly and shook his head, "Don't make fun of me."

You should know that all this is arranged in advance, and I am just an executor.

By the way, I heard that during the time he left, a lot of big things happened in Am?

How exactly did the parliament and the six-member council fail in the power struggle?

And how did the shadow thief split into two parts from the inside? ”

There is no doubt that while Bernard was gone, everything was fine with Am.

But it didn't take long for him to come back again, and the place had become a completely different place.

Whether it's the giant airship that floats through the sky, or the market that is thriving far beyond the limits of cognition, or the Zosi who once came to Ascatra from the south with him, but is now about to become the Emperor of the Amm Empire.

Because the changes happened so quickly and suddenly, Bernard was too late to go home for a long time.

So for him, the violent sensory impact was like turning the world upside down.

"My brother, these things are a long story. To sum it up, the growth speed and strength of His Excellency Soth have far exceeded everyone's imagination. ”

Babette sighed slightly, and 1510 told what he knew.

In particular, it focuses on the massacre of the Salem Quant family, as well as the split and bloody infighting of the Amm Shadow Thieves Guild, and the recent forced split of a dozen powerful families.

About half an hour later, after Bernard received all the information, his whole face turned pale, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice, "What do you mean...... All of this is secretly planned and manipulated by Lord South? ”

Babette hurriedly shook his head: "No, I didn't say that.

But he is indeed the biggest beneficiary of this series of events.

And I suggest that you would do well to call him Your Majesty instead.

Because when the coronation ceremony is over, he will become the supreme emperor of the Amm Empire.

And that's not all!

He would also marry the Shane Empire in the south to complete the merger of the two great empires.

Any idea what that means?

It means that His Majesty Soth will become the most powerful and powerful person in Faeron.

The power he wielded was not at all comparable to that of other noble lords or kings.

We must change our previous attitudes and show humility and reverence.

Because all the families that did not do so because they were young or for other reasons have now either declined or disappeared. ”

Sir Kelvin nodded approvingly, "Babette is right.

Despite your extraordinary friendship with Lord Soth, don't rely on it.

Quite the opposite!

You need to be extra respectful to keep this precious relationship going.

Also, before the coronation begins, you should express your attitude by giving a gift that is precious enough.

It just so happened that when our fleet was doing business with the natives of the Aztec continent some time ago, we exchanged fifty suits of armor and a magic sword for an obsidian with great power, which is said to have been blessed by a feathered serpent.

I asked someone to ask the mage to verify that it should have a very high magical value, which is the favorite thing of His Majesty Soth.

Later, you can send it as a congratulatory gift in your own name. ”

"Thank you......"

Seeing his father-in-law think so much about himself, Bernard immediately showed a hint of emotion.

After all, he'd been away from Ascatra for so long that he didn't have a clue right now, let alone how to deal with the complexities.

"You're welcome.

After all, our two families have been close allies for a long time, and you married my daughter.

Next, in the midst of this drastic change and turmoil, we still need to work together to combat potential dangers.

If all goes well, you and I will be the richest and most powerful family in this powerful empire. ”

With that, Sir Kelvin raised his glass and drank it down, his old eyes shining with the light of ambition.

Unlike those families who were still thinking about how to protect themselves, he had clearly smelled opportunity from Zuo Si's series of policies, and was eager to become the upstart of this rising empire.

In contrast, Bernard's desire for power was far less intense than his father-in-law's.

Instead, he first went upstairs with his wife and made love for a while, followed by a hug of the child, and then at the urging of Sir Kelvin, he took the gift and went to the office building in the administrative district.

He had already learned in advance that Zuo Si was going to meet a heavyweight guest here today, the legendary king Yasan IV from the millennial kingdom of Komir.

When I arrived, I found that it was already crowded with emissaries from all over the world, as well as representatives of trade alliances.

However, unlike the legendary Wise Shenwu, Ahsan IV looked quite tired and distracted at the moment, and often appeared absent-minded in conversation.

If it weren't for the chief archmage of the royal family on the side to mention points and play rounds, I'm afraid it would have been a joke by now.

As for the reason, it's very simple!

His Majesty was severely calculated by Simanmon and Kurremos.

When he was full of war intent to block the enemy's inevitable path of invasion, he found that these enemies had already broken into pieces, pouring into the heart of Cormier in a team of dozens of people, and had no intention of fighting head-on.

In desperation, Yasan IV could only lead the army to surround and intercept, and destroy as many of these scattered monsters as possible, which consumed a lot of time and energy.

When he came to his senses, a report suddenly came from the rear that a powerful army of monsters had appeared near the capital, not only killing all the troops that had gone to encircle and suppress them, but also setting fire to some of the most important barns and pastures in the kingdom.

More than two-thirds of the food used to store for the winter was burned out.

Thousands of horses and hundreds of thousands of livestock were killed or looted, while villages and towns were slaughtered and burned.

The nobles, who had already stopped, began to accuse the king of failing to fulfill his duty to protect the commoners because of this incident, and some simply ignored the royal family's orders and began to act as emperors in the territory behind closed doors.

If it weren't for the promise he had made before, Ahsan IV would have been busy putting out fires everywhere at this moment, and where would he be in the mood to attend the coronation?

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that his youngest daughter, Yalusail, seemed to be doing well here.

Not only is his face ruddy and his body maintained in the state that a warrior should be, but at the same time, his spirit is quite full, and he does not show the negative emotions of pain, frustration, and despair.

After completing the political performance in front of everyone, uttering a lot of unnutritious diplomatic rhetoric, and finally making clear the approval of the Cormier Kingdom to Am's annexation of large swathes of northern land, Yasan IV stood up and walked with Zuo Si into the upper floor of the entire building, which originally belonged to the six-member council.

As soon as the door slammed shut, the legendary king tore off his serious disguise, tore off his heavy crown and threw it on the chair next to him, walked briskly to the table full of food and wine, raised the bottle full of spirits, and poured himself a large glass, which he drank in less than two or three seconds.

After a large glass of spirits, his face suddenly turned a little red, followed by a long breath, and complained, "Whew—I can finally relax." I hate this kind of troublesome, dreary occasion the most. The staring eyes of those people made me uncomfortable. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Your Majesty, please pay attention to your language and demeanor. Don't forget that this is not your court in Cormier. ”

Chief Archmage Van Geda Heist hurriedly picked up the crown and reminded him.

But Yasan IV waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, don't always talk about those so-called etiquette and royal demeanor. Soth wasn't one of those people who would only be proud of the glory of his ancestors and his own bloodline, so he wouldn't care about that. Do you think I'm right, young man? ”

Zuo Si responded with a smile: "Of course." As a monarch, as long as you don't make mistakes in politics and show your demeanor in public, you don't need to care about frivolous things like etiquette and etiquette in private. ”

"Hahahaha! See what I just said? ”

As he spoke, Yasan IV poured himself another glass, and then laughed and drank a lot.

Under the influence of alcohol, his mental state, which was not very good, gradually became hyperactive.

In particular, the slightly bloodshot eyes finally showed the sharp edge that a legendary warrior should have.

Van Geda Heist sighed helplessly: "Alas—well, as you please. However, I advise you not to drink too much, otherwise you will lose the face of the entire royal family and even the Cormier kingdom. ”

"Alright, don't be verbose, give me some time, I want to have a sovereign-to-monarch conversation with Soth."

Ahsan IV unceremoniously began to chase people out.

Having been with the current Chief Archmage for decades, he spoke in a straightforward manner and didn't worry about annoying the other person with his tone or misuse of words.

Soon, all of the entourage, including Van Geda Heist, turned away, leaving only two people in the large room.

Yasan IV simply picked up the wine bottle and poured it, walked to the window, looked condescendingly at the incomparably prosperous and lively gold coin capital, and asked with a smile after a while: "From scratch, he became the emperor of such a huge empire in just a few years.

I guess you must be pretty proud right now, aren't you?

Actually, when I was younger, I had just succeeded to the throne as King of Cormier, and I was in almost the same mood as you.

His mind is full of how to surpass everyone and become the greatest monarch in the history of Cormier and even in the history of the entire continent of Faeren.

To this end, I actively co-opted all the forces that could unite and reunite those alienated nobles under the banner of the royal family.

This was followed by another crusade to suppress the monsters, robbers, and rebellious nobles in the kingdom.

He even accomplished an unprecedented feat, that is, he defeated an army of nomadic tribes more than a dozen times his size with a very small number of troops.

I have to say, it was the most wonderful moment of my life.

Because that battle alone is enough for me to make my name deeply etched in the history of this continent. ”

Zuo Si also poured himself a cup of hot tea, and asked rhetorically with a smile: "Are you summarizing your ruling career?"

If the answer is yes, then I think it's too early.

After all, as a monarch, only at the moment of death can the coffin be conclusive.

And this kind of thing should not be done by oneself or future generations, otherwise it is difficult to be objective and fair.

Ideally, after hundreds or even thousands of years, the ruling country has completely disappeared or a new group of rulers has been replaced, and then historians will give an evaluation.

It's like people now evaluate Netherel and Imasca.

By the way, I am not as happy and proud as you think about becoming the emperor of the Amm Empire, and I have always been very calm in my heart.

Because it seemed to me that all this was doomed from the moment it occurred to me. ”

"Hehe, so in your eyes, there is no element of luck in your own success.

It's all about clever minds and overwhelming strength, right?

It seems that you are more proud and conceited than I thought. ”

Yasan IV couldn't help but laugh.

Because he felt that he saw his once young self in Zuo Si, they were all the same proud, conceited, and ambitious, eager to do some shocking feats.

However, the legendary king clearly made the mistake of not realizing that although Faren was important to Zuo Si, it was far from the whole story.

The West Coast Empire was not created to prove anything, but to show all mortals and even the gods a possibility.

As for how long this empire can last, and whether it will eventually decline, collapse, and disintegrate for some reasons in the future, Zuo Si actually doesn't care very much, and he doesn't plan to establish a permanent rule of the family for all generations.

It may be that he has gained immortality, and he has never had much interest in reproducing offspring and passing on his own genetic copies.

Taking a sip of the slightly bitter hot tea, Zuo Si stood side by side with the other party in front of the windowsill, and said in a very calm tone: "No, Your Majesty, this is not pride and conceit, but a kind of self-awareness from an objective standpoint. Do you know what I hate the most? ”

"What is it?"

Ahsan IV asked very cooperatively.

"It's luck!

Because it may make all the effort and effort meaningless;

Let those who should be inspirational protagonists become clowns who are ridiculed;

It makes people no longer want to struggle, but to gamble on the ethereal probability of luck that is only 1 in 10,000 or even less.

I hate the uncertainty of luck, so I've been preparing for the worst from the start.

After all, friends and family may betray you for profit, lovers and lovers may abandon you because of new love, and those who have pledged allegiance to you may hold grudges simply for not getting the reward they want.

But there are two things that will never be betrayed: the knowledge, skills, and power you have learned, as well as the cards that have been prepared with a lot of thought.

When you have enough knowledge and skills, and your true power is strong enough, and you have the hole cards that even the gods fear and fear, then no matter how good the enemy's luck is, it will not help, and you will be easily crushed to death.

Do you think I'm where I am today because of luck?

But the opposite is true.

It doesn't matter who rules Am, whether they have the backing of gods, demons, or demons, or whether they have powerful artifacts in their hands, it doesn't make any difference to me.

I will still defeat them as I do now and become the supreme ruler of this country, and at the same time complete the annexation of large swathes of the north.

So like I said before, there's no luck in it, it's just up to me if I want to. ”

After that, Zuo Si lowered his head again and took a sip of hot tea, exuding a kind of dictatorial tyrant temperament of "who else should I be".

Ahsan IV was keenly aware of this, and his pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and dilated again, and after a long while, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn! Are young people so scary nowadays? If you don't mind, can you tell me what exactly you want to bring to the world? ”

"Unprecedented prosperity and development, of course.

If I can't do better than you, or any civilization in Torrell's history, why would I go to the trouble of building an empire with a vast territory?

As a bit of a perfectionist person, I've always strived for excellence, and I want to be the best at what I do.

Also, you don't have to worry that I'm going to be a threat to the Cormier Kingdom in the future.

Because the borders of the empire will not continue to expand to the east in the future, but will maintain the status quo.

My next goal is to integrate the Northlands and complete my domination of the west coast of the continent of Faerun. ”

Zuo Si expressed his planning and strategic intentions very clearly.

He was well aware that for most small states and independent city-states, being neighbors with a superpower was a terrifying, desperate thing.

Even if the latter sneezes slightly, the former may be severely affected by it.

If you are accidentally targeted, you will only have to fight to the death with the determination to bite the other party hard.

Although Cormier is not a small country, it is definitely not comparable to the imminent rise of the West Coast Empire.

Whether it is population, economy, military, or magical research, they are all at an absolute disadvantage.

Perhaps the only thing that has a slight advantage is culture.

After all, there are really a lot of spiritual Cormiers north of Am.

Therefore, if Cormier is not reassured, the aristocratic class up and down the country will not even be able to sleep, and will inevitably become vigilant and hostile.

After receiving Zuo Si's promise that he would not expand eastward, Ahsan IV was obviously much more relaxed, poured another sip of strong wine into his throat, licked his lips and asked, "Do Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and the Silver Moon Alliance know about your attempt to annex the Northlands?" ”

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Hmm! I think they're all pretty clear.

After all, I've never made any disguises in this regard.

He even had a few private conversations with Kelburn, Erastro, and Lord Nasir.

They all said that they would not mind being part of the empire as long as they could make people's lives better and safer.

After all, I've proven myself in power through trade alliances, haven't I?

And I'm taking the economic and cultural integration, not the military and the military.

Therefore, there is basically no strong resistance. ”

"I see. So what are you going to do with the Cormier Kingdom? ”

After going around in circles for a long time, Yasan IV finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

At present, Cormier can be said to be in the midst of internal and external troubles, and he can't withstand any toss at all.

Zuo Si replied without thinking: "It's very simple. Since you are already a member of the trade alliance and are willing to abide by the treaties therein, then we are allies. Cormier is ready to receive support from all sides, both military and economic, if needed. ”

"Oh? Are you saying that I can borrow troops, borrow money, borrow food and weapons resources? ”

Ahsan IV's eyes lit up slightly.

He now urgently needs a large sum of money, as well as food, weapons and armor to calm the mood of the people in the country, and at the same time recruit more armed troops to rid the raging monsters and enemies as soon as possible.

"Given the size of Cormier's country and the size of his economy, he can give you a loan of one million gold coins on behalf of the Alliance, at an interest rate of fifteen percent per annum.

You can use the money to buy everything you need, or hire soldiers or adventurers.

In addition, you can also apply for a trade alliance to send troops to garrison and protect an area.

Anyway, it's all written in the document you just signed. ”

Zuo Si introduced the benefits and benefits that Cormier could enjoy.

He was a little speechless about this legendary king with a resounding reputation.

Because the other side may have very good talents and talents in politics and military affairs, but they simply don't know anything in the economic field.

The treaty of joining the trade alliance didn't even look at it, and threw it directly to the chief archmage for disposal.

The latter confirmed that there was no problem, and Yasan IV did not hesitate to sign and seal it.

"A million gold coins? Only 15% per annum? Oh, my God! It turns out that there are such benefits! So what are you waiting for! I want it now! ”

Ahsan IV threw down the empty bottle and without saying a word held out his large, calloused hand.

You must know that Feilun's financial lending business, although it does not have the terrifying profits of nine out of thirteen, it is also not a good one.

The annual interest rate is generally 50% to 70% or more.

Usually it can only be used as a short-term cash flow.

If you borrow money for a long time, it is estimated that it will soon fall to the point where you can't even pay the interest.

Therefore, the 15 percent annual interest rate of the trade union loan is definitely a conscience in the conscience, and it is so low that it is unbelievable to the merchants.

It is precisely because of this policy that various towns and even noble lords will break their heads and want to squeeze in.

In their opinion, as long as they borrow money and start some production or business, they can make double or even triple the profit in a year.

Therefore, they basically borrowed as much as they could, and even did not hesitate to take out the family's castle and territory as collateral.

Zuo Si held his head and reminded, "Are you sure you don't need to discuss it with your subordinates and staff?"

You should know that the loan has to be repaid on time.

Otherwise, if there is a problem, the credit rating of the Cormier Kingdom will be downgraded.

Not only will there be a loss of face, but it will also be collateralized by a forced takeover of taxes. ”

"Uh...... Then I'd better go back and talk to Van Geda Heist first. ”

Ahsan IV was momentarily stunned.

Although he is notoriously insensitive to money and finances, he also knows that fifteen percent of a million gold coins is 150,000 gold coins.

That's a lot of money for Cormier's poor finances right now.

What's more, the Cormier royal family still owes Zuo Si himself a debt of 300,000 gold coins.

"Don't worry, you can discuss it slowly. The loan of one million gold coins is valid forever, as long as one application is submitted in the name of the state. ”

A hint of imperceptible playfulness flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and he comforted softly.

Although the other party was wearing magical equipment such as protective charm and mind detection, he was keenly aware of the financial difficulties faced by the Cormier Kingdom from the reaction of Ahsan IV.

This is clearly an opportunity to expand the influence of the trade alliance, and at the same time an excellent opportunity to infiltrate and control the country's economy.

It's a pity that Yasan IV didn't realize this at all, but showed a happy smile: "Thank you!" This is probably the best news I've heard in recent times.

Although it is a bit of a pity to lose the right to mint.

But I've been able to see the huge benefits of joining a trade alliance.

And I'm very much looking forward to seeing the huge airships carrying cargo descend on Susar, the capital of Cormier.

Finally, allow me to thank you, as a father, for taking in and sheltering Yalusail. ”

"You're welcome. Personally, I admire the character and talent of the Iron Princess, as well as her beauty, which is very different from ordinary women. ”

As he said this, Zuo Si turned his gaze to Yalusail, who was standing outside the window in the square and riding on a horse in military uniform.

In particular, the tight-fitting breeches and corset tops sewn from special materials set off her plump and bumpy figure in a particularly attractive way.

Some of the spiritual Cormirs from the Northland were drooling when they saw it.

Several young people who seemed to be nobles and wealthy businessmen wanted to get together to send flowers or offer courtesy under the trend of sperm insects, but they only got the contemptuous and disdainful eyes of this proud princess.

Obviously, Yalusail may have lost his royal status, but he is still a proud white swan, definitely not something that a toad can touch.

"How are you going to place my daughter? Let her be your lover? I can tell she's hopelessly madly infatuated with you. Ahsan IV asked in a low voice.

Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "Maybe, maybe not."

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

But one thing I can guarantee.

That is, she will definitely live a very happy life, and she can do whatever she wants to do now. ”

"Well, maybe you're right.

Promise me to take care of her and make her happy.

As long as you do that, I guarantee that the Cormier royal family will always be your most loyal ally.

Even if I die, Tenarasta becomes queen, it won't change. ”

With that, Ahsan IV turned and pushed the door open and walked out, intending to follow his staff to discuss the matter of borrowing.

Zuo Si curled the corners of his mouth and a sinister and sly smile appeared, standing in place and muttering in a voice that only he could hear: "Ally?

No, dear His Majesty, I don't want the friendship and loyalty of the Cormier royal family.

Rather, a puppet and a vassal who is completely subservient to my will.

Yalusail is the key to achieving this goal.

I assure you that she will be very, very happy after becoming Cormier's rightful queen......"

The voice has not fallen!

A familiar figure with a slight fortune walked in from outside the door, and bowed respectfully with one hand to his chest.

"Bernard? When did you get back? ”

Zuo Si raised his head and looked the other party up and down in surprise.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and this businessman with excellent talent has obviously gained a lot of weight.

It may be that when I was in Sambia, I had to go to the oligarchs' houses every day to attend all kinds of balls and banquets, so the food was so good that there was a serious overnutrition.

In particular, the belly is greatly bulging, and the chin that shows four layers of folds when you smile, all of which are stuffed with fat fat.

"I just came back. I heard that you are going to be crowned Emperor of the Amm Empire, so I rushed over to give me a gift to express my gratitude. In the future, I will change my name from Your Excellency to Your Majesty. ”

Bernard is clearly a very intelligent and slick person, and expresses his attitude without any psychological obstacles.

With a wave of his hand, the servants quickly walked in with a heavy box and placed it carefully on the ground.

The moment it was opened, an obsidian weighing two or three hundred kilograms appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's ......"

With the special vision given by the silver fire, Zuo Si sensed the extraordinaryness of this stone at a glance.

Bernard hurriedly explained: "It comes from the continent of Aztec, and according to the locals, it was blessed by the Quetzalcoatl, so it is very precious and rare. I thought you'd like it, so I brought it with me. ”

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, I do like it very much, it should be used to make a powerful magic item." ”

"If you like it, it's fine. In addition to this gift, I also brought the situation of the civil war in Sambia, would you like to take a look? ”

Bernard pulled out a three-finger-thick notebook filled with accounts and small print.

You don't need to ask, but it must have been all about the amount of aid given to the rebels, as well as the large amount of property that was bought at almost the price of cabbage.

In just a few months, the Amm merchants had bought almost half of Sambia, just as many towns and lands were still under the control of the oligarchs.

"No, no."

Zuo Si waved his hand disappreciatively.

As the cyberpunk city on the other side of Hell grows better and better, Mirrodin, with its large metal resources, is about to become a treasure in his pocket, and he can't afford to make this profit.

Bernard immediately pretended to be moved, bent down and bowed: "Thank you for your trust."

But I think it's better to report it.

According to current calculations, when the civil war in Sambia ends, the total value of the land and various properties under our current control will reach hundreds of millions of gold coins.

Of course, there is definitely no way to monetize all of these things.

Especially a lot of land, mountains, forests, lakes and rivers.

With the previously set percentage, you can get about 70% of it.

Because there were many families involved in it, but now they no longer exist......"
