A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

A huge caravan has gathered at Calim Port's north gate connecting the interior.

The number of slaves alone reached more than one hundred and fifty.

In addition, there are some civilians with experience or special skills who are hired, as well as a mercenary team responsible for security along the way.

As for the camels used to carry goods and supplies, there were an astonishing number of thousands.

At a glance, they were so densely packed that they almost occupied the entire open space outside the city gate.

Fortunately, there were no adventurers, pedestrians, or business travelers coming or going at this time, otherwise it would definitely cause serious traffic jams.

As the owner and leader of the caravan, Bernard was standing on the roadside looking towards the streets inside the city gate.

When the old Captain Bass who came to see him off saw this, he immediately comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, there is still half an hour before the agreed time. With the character of Lord Soss, you will definitely not be late."

"I know.

But the problem is, I don’t know why I’m always filled with uneasiness.

After all, this journey is too dangerous, and no one knows what will happen.

What's more, I still can't figure out why Isadora suddenly wanted to kill all her brothers and sisters, including me.

After all, she was only twelve years old, so even if she succeeded in inheriting the Chamber of Commerce, she would not be able to keep the fruits of her victory.

Those greedy guys in Askatra will use all kinds of means to swallow it up, leaving not even a bit of dregs left. "

Bernard expressed his inner thoughts with a bitter look on his face.

You must know that during this period of time recently, he could hardly sleep peacefully at night. Basically, he either had insomnia or woke up from terrible nightmares.

The hair also fell out in handfuls.

In my early thirties, my hairline has already become quite dangerous.

If things continue to develop at this rate, it is estimated that in another seven to eight years we will be 100% bald or become bald.

Of course, Bernard doesn't care whether he goes bald in middle age.

What he really cares about is what the youngest sister is thinking and how she plans to ensure that her father doesn't discover her after getting rid of all her brothers and sisters.

or……

Isadora also wants to kill her father who has controlled the Chamber of Commerce for more than thirty years?

Bernard couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of that scene of "a loving father and a filial daughter."

"Calm down! Things haven't reached your worst yet.

Moreover, Amn law stipulates that the eldest son has the highest priority in inheritance.

Women are only eligible to inherit family property if there are no direct male members of the family.

So as long as you are still alive and can return to Askatra safely, you can win the final victory in this battle. "

Old Bass patted his employer's shoulder hard to encourage him.

Because he is now a grasshopper tied to the other party on a rope, and there is no way out behind him.

Either the Jedi make a comeback and take back the Chamber of Commerce and become the "hero", or they die on the way back and become a cold corpse.

"I hope so! Remember to set sail again in a month and try to reach Ascatella with the caravan. In addition, find a way to keep those sailors in Calim Port. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. I don't want them to go back. Spread the word about what happened on the deserted island before."

When he said these words, Bernard's face became very cold.

Although he knew very well that he was wrong to abandon the sailors.

But out of the instinct to protect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, his family and himself, he was still prepared to do some disgusting and disgusting things.

However, as a businessman, Bernard does not intend to use violence, threats, kidnapping or other means.

Just the opposite!

His plan was to use money to buy some pretty local women, and then seduce the sailors to "voluntarily" stay in Port Calim.

As for what will happen after the merchant ship sets off, that is none of his business.

Old Bass nodded with a serious expression: "Don't worry, even if I empty out my pension, I will never allow any of them to return to Ascaltra."

Just when Bernard was about to say something, he suddenly saw several people riding camels slowly passing through the city gate.

The leader was surprisingly Zuo Si himself.

But he was not riding a camel by himself, but sharing one with Alena.

After all, riding a camel and riding a horse are two completely different things.

What's more, the camels here in Calim Port are all single-humped. It is not easy to sit firmly without a certain level of riding skills.

When he saw Bernard standing outside the city gate waiting for a long time, Zuo Si immediately said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I encountered an unexpected situation when I set out just now, so I was delayed for a few minutes."

"Unexpected situation?"

The businessman subconsciously glanced at the team behind him and immediately noticed that there was an additional woman wearing armor and a white sun cloak.

Out of subconscious vigilance, he immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Who is this lady?"

"Her name is Elolin. She is a paladin who serves Ilmat, the god of suffering. For some reason, she must follow me, and she can't be driven away no matter how hard she tries. But don't worry, I have made an agreement with her, and I will never do it. Interfere with everything in the caravan." Zuo Si explained helplessly.

He simply couldn't believe that this young girl who had been blocking the door in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel for two days actually dared to follow him alone without any fear.

As for the purpose, Ai LuoLin did not hide anything and told it all directly and openly.

As we all know, paladins cannot lie.

Especially lying in the name of God will inevitably lead to corruption.

Although Zuo Si felt a little strange that Ilmat, the God of Suffering, knew that he contained terrible viruses and bacteria in his body.

But considering the god's alignment, priesthood and teachings, as well as the important information provided, he decided to take the young paladin with him just in case.

You must know that the gods of Faerun are not those "false gods" who say one thing on the surface and do another secretly.

Everything they do will never deviate from their own ideas, philosophies and values, and they are not driven and tempted by interests like ordinary people.

This also means that the gods of the good camp are truly kind from the bottom of their hearts, and the gods of the evil camp are also truly evil.

In addition, Ilmat's image has always been known for his honesty, gentleness, calmness, friendliness, and perseverance. He is a well-known "good old god" in Faerun.

Although its believers and followers may seem a little weird, they have never done anything bad.

So Zuo Si felt that it was better to take this god's warning seriously.

Because he really wants to find out what the so-called "powerful evil force shrouding this land" refers to, and why it is targeting him.

As for the goddess of poison and disease, Talona's followers are also looking for him, so it's not something to make a fuss about.

God is basically omniscient and omnipotent within the realm of his clergy.

The moment Zuo Si entered Faerûn, Talona, ​​known as the "Mother of All Plagues," should have noticed the deadly mutant viruses and bacteria he carried in his body.

If it weren't for the turbulent years, the lessons of many gods' sudden deaths would have been too tragic.

Moreover, in order to allow the gods to better perform their duties, the god Io personally modified some of the rules between faith and divine power.

He estimated that this willful goddess might have directly descended into the incarnation long ago.
