A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

As a large family with a history of hundreds of years, "Salem Quante" undoubtedly has quite a few family members.

However, in order to prevent their internal power and wealth from being diluted as the population increases, and eventually splitting like many ancient families, they have been continuing a very ruthless traditional system.

That is, except for the current head of the family, other people, including brothers, sisters and their children, are absolutely not allowed to take away any of the family's existing property.

They can only serve as upper-level managers of some businesses or lands, manors, and castles, and receive corresponding dividends and remuneration by being responsible for operating these industries.

In addition, direct members with inheritance rights can also receive an annuity every year since birth, which is considered considerable by ordinary people.

This money will be accumulated from birth until the child reaches adulthood (twenty years old).

And those who get the money can make a choice.

One is to use the money to leave the family and start a business.

He is not allowed to use his family name in the future, nor can he receive any support from the family's resources. After failure, he is not allowed to come back even if he starves to death.

But the advantage is that if the business is successful, everything you get belongs to you, and you can even create a new family based on it.

The second is to use the money to start a business with the support of the family.

Not only can he get help from the family's various channels, connections, and a large number of relatives and friends, but he can also retain the noble surname "Salem Quante" that is full of legend in Amn.

However, the price is that the industry created can only be controlled while one is alive. Once the person dies, all the industry will be taken back to the family.

As for their children, they can only receive an annual support payment from them, nothing more.

In the next generation, people will not even receive alimony, and they can only serve as high-level servants such as housekeepers, managers, personal maids, and guards, direct descendants of the current head of the family.

Therefore, the fight for the throne of the head of the family among those who have the right to inherit the family in Salem has always been very fierce, and they use all means to do anything.

It can even be described as cruel and bloody.

The current head of the family, Selzer, used some unknown method to make the two older brothers who were ahead in succession and a younger brother who threatened his status all "accidentally" fall off a cliff during a hunting activity, and even Not even the body could be found.

His father, the previous head of the family, also died of "excessive grief" soon after this incident happened.

For such an obvious murder, under normal circumstances, the paladins and judicial agencies of the Knights of the Burning Heart would immediately intervene in the investigation.

But the problem is that the power of the Salem Quante family is too huge, and they always firmly occupy a seat in the six-person council.

They are legislators and rule makers, and they also have the final authority to interpret all justice.

In addition, Selzer did have excellent political skills and suppressed the whole matter easily.

Members of his family insisted that all this was an accident and there was no conspiracy.

As a result, without any actual evidence, even the paladins with the strongest sense of justice could only hold their noses and admit it.

no way!

Who told the law to serve politics since its inception?

As for judicial independence, just treat it as a joke.

If you really want to use this as a weapon to challenge the ruling class, you may die without even leaving your ashes.

Because this fight for power was so beautiful that the entire family regarded it as a successful experience and learned from it.

Selzer himself is quite proud of himself, and occasionally teaches some skills in this area to his children, grandchildren, and granddaughters.

But what he never expected was that his laissez-faire and even encouraging attitude directly led to unimaginable catastrophic consequences.

Vera!

The boldest, craziest and most ambitious female member of the younger generation of the Salem Quant family actually dared to collude with outsiders to launch an unprecedented bloody massacre.

After counting the heads hanging on the saddle, Selzer realized that except for the granddaughter in front of him, none of his other descendants were spared.

This also means that whether he agrees or not, Vera will automatically become the sole heir of the Salem Quant family.

"Congratulations, you have finally achieved your wish and become the sole heir of the family. No one can threaten your status anymore."

Shane VII looked at this crazy woman with a smile and admiration.

“This is also thanks to your help, the great and generous His Majesty Shane VII.

Without the help of your mages and undead, I would not be able to control so many knights, warriors and private soldiers within the family by myself.

It is estimated that if we really want to take action, we can only find a way to kill them all through poisoning or other methods.

And that would greatly weaken the power of the Salem Quant family and cause me to lose my seat on the six-person council. It would not be as easy and pleasant as it is now. "

Vera got off her horse and walked straight to Shane VII. She knelt down on one knee and lovingly kissed the back of his hand and the magic ring on his finger to express her respect and obedience.

Through this cooperation, she has clearly realized that her family, which seems to be powerful, wealthy, and even able to dominate Amn, is at best a slightly stronger ant to a truly strong man like the Emperor of the Undead. , not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why similar things have not happened before is because of the protection of Watkin, the goddess of wealth, and her church.

This is also the basis for the existence and continuation of most of the ruling families of Ascaltra.

However, since the Goddess of Wealth was imprisoned in the Abyss and lost contact during the Year of Turmoil, many families began to try to contact other gods and churches, hoping to gain protection from each other by changing their beliefs.

The Quant family of Salem was one of them.

This is why, after Woking returned, the entire gold coin capital immediately held a grand celebration.

Because many families who secretly change their beliefs are eager to use this method to please the goddess and make her ignore and forget her previous betrayal and accept them again.

If it were in the past, the goddess of wealth might turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.

After all, she was the one who got away with it in the first place because of her own cleverness, and she couldn't blame others at all.

But now that there are two spoilers, Shane VII and Zuo Si, Waking obviously has a better choice.

As for the Masked Mage Guild, although according to the ancient magic contract, the Salem Quant family has strong control over it.

But everyone in Faerun knows that mages are the most selfish group.

Wanting them to be loyal to a certain person or a certain family for a long time is simply a pipe dream.

So it is simply too much to expect these guys to stand up and fight the enemy at critical moments.

It was because Vera saw through the nature of her grandfather and the family that the outsiders were powerful and the others were weak, that she dared to decisively choose to take action to seize everything that should belong to her.

Looking at the decisive woman kneeling in front of him, Xia En VII reached out and gently touched the former's delicate face covered with blood spots, and said with slight emotion: "You are really good, you have the potential to become a qualified king. .

If you were my descendant, I would also consider making you the queen and the heir to the Shane Empire.

Because as the supreme ruler, he can be ruthless, cruel, and extravagant, but he cannot be weak.

Especially when seizing and protecting power, you must abandon all unnecessary emotions and tell everyone in the fastest and bloodiest way what the consequences will be if you are your enemy.

In the face of power, all family ties, friendships and love must stand aside.

Only in this way can one be qualified to sit on the throne made of blood and bones. "

“You’re really over the top.

In fact, the reason why I made up my mind was that I was forced into a blind corner.

My dear grandfather wanted to marry me to Tumis to gain the support of a very powerful local family so that I could establish a foothold there and expand trade.

If the plan succeeds, then I will permanently lose the surname Salem Quant (a woman must change her husband's surname when she gets married), and I will also have the right to inheritance.

Since he didn't give me a chance to choose, don't blame me for not giving him a chance to choose either.

Anyway, killing each other is the tradition of the Salem Quant family. I just did it more thoroughly. "

When saying these words, Vera raised her head and stared at Selzer's bloodshot and red eyes without avoiding it, with a strong provocative tone in her tone.

"Asshole!!! You damn beast!! They are your parents, brothers, sisters and blood relatives! How could you do this!"

Selzer, who had reached the limit of his endurance, roared like crazy. He didn't know whether it was because of anger, excitement or sadness. In short, he was shaking and twitching.

Especially the heads with expressions of fear and despair, like nightmares, constantly stimulating the most sensitive nerve in his heart.

But Vera sneered and said sarcastically: "You know, dear grandfather, your current reaction and the tone of your accusations against me are simply disgusting, as if you are so innocent and clean.

Have you forgotten how you became the head of the family?

Have you forgotten how we are taught and encouraged to fight with each other in daily life?

So what is happening today is because you planted the seeds with your own hands, and then they took root, sprouted, and finally blossomed and bore fruit.

After all, there is only one position for the head of the family!

You can't expect us to be fiercely competitive and still have the camaraderie of a normal family. "

When Xia En VII heard these words, he couldn't help laughing immediately: "Hahahaha! Well said!

Soth once mentioned to me that unless there is an arbiter who has absolute power and power and can guarantee fairness.

Otherwise, all so-called fair competition will eventually turn into vicious competition, and one party may even overturn the table.

Obviously, your grandfather didn't understand this and thought he was always in control.

Little did he know that from the moment he came to power through murder, he had already set a bad example for his descendants.

Okay, enough chatting.

Tell me, have you found that ancient magical contract? "

"Of course! His Majesty the Great Shane VII. Here, this is the contract I found in the family treasury. It has a strong magical binding force. Only my grandfather knows how to change the name of the holder."

As she spoke, Vera carefully took out a yellowed and black parchment scroll from a box.

This thing obviously looks quite ancient. It doesn't look like something that was made in the past few hundred years. Instead, it looks like an antique dug out of a certain tomb or underground ruins.

On the long metal poles, you can still vaguely see some carvings that have been worn beyond recognition.

Xia En VII took it, glanced at it twice, and immediately asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Where did your family get this scroll?"

"Is there anything special about it?" Vera asked in an uncertain tone.

It is not difficult to see from the confused eyes that she does not know where she got this contract scroll that can control the Masked Mage Guild, and what its specific use is.

"More than just being special, using this to restrain a second-rate spellcasting organization like the Masked Mage Guild is simply a huge waste. In addition, do you know the nature of all powerful binding contracts in this world?"

There was strong regret in Xia En VII's tone, and the expression on his face was as full of resentment as a top chef who saw someone wasting rare and precious ingredients with inferior cooking methods.

Vera pondered for a moment and quickly answered: "Is it the endorsement of some powerful existence or force?"

Xia En VII nodded slightly: "Although it's not entirely correct, the general direction is correct.

Simply put, the essence of a magic contract is to use a strong threat to ensure that both parties to the contract dare not violate it easily, otherwise they will have to pay a heavy price.

Although some special magic and rituals can also achieve similar effects.

But the problem is that magic can be dispelled in many ways, so it is not safe. At best, it can only be used against ordinary people who do not understand magic at all.

All contracts that truly bind those with knowledge and power are usually signed in the presence of a law-inclined deity or other quasi-divine power.

If one of the parties violates it, the witnesses will take action to punish it.

The most typical and well-known among them is the devil's contract.

It is precisely because there is the support of powerful hell forces behind him, and Asmodeus has signed corresponding agreements with the gods and many planes, that the devils can make their contracts widely applicable to the entire universe.

Even when many people think of contracts, the first thing they think of is the devil.

But what most people don't know is that the oldest order power and contract in the universe were not born in hell, but originated in the mechanical realm.

Among them, as the most powerful and oldest existence in the entire plane, the Lord of Modrons and the God of Clockwork - Singularity, will launch expeditions every once in a while. The most successful one almost destroyed Slaar who spread chaos. Toad Lord Chust ensures that other planes of order will not be eroded by chaos.

And this contract scroll was signed by him personally.

Anyone who tries to violate it will face punishment from the ultimate order and law of the machine realm.

So now you see what a waste it is to use it to control the Masked Mage Guild? "

moment!

Everyone present who had some knowledge of planes involuntarily took a breath.

Although Singularity is not as famous as other divine creatures, such as demon lords, devil dukes, and ancient evils, it does not pursue any mortal faith and worship.

But there is no doubt about his power.

Moreover, this guy represents the will of the mechanical realm and cannot be truly killed.

Before Orcus, one of the Three Giants of the Abyss, died and was resurrected, he used the [Doomsday Mantra] that he had not yet lost to successfully kill the Singularity of the previous generation.

But in less than a minute, the next generation of Singularity completed its promotion with the help of the will of the machine realm.

This also means that those who violate the terms of the contract may be directly hunted down by the endless army from the Machinery Realm.

Let alone a mere masked mage guild.

If the gods did not intervene, all the countries and regions in the entire Faerûn continent united might not be able to stop a team of mechanical constructs sent by Singularity.

Because the number of this team is likely to be calculated in millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

"Then...how to change the content of this contract?" Vera asked cautiously.

"It's very simple. Next, we may have to do something cruel to your grandfather to let him understand that only by completely giving up unrealistic fantasies, struggle and resistance can he gain relief early. Otherwise, I will let him understand what is Real life is worse than death.”

As he spoke, the face of Xia En VII showed the unique gloominess of undead creatures, as well as the coldness of not treating people as human beings.

The next second...

He raised his hand wrapped in negative energy and pressed it on Selzer's face.

moment!

The latter's body and even soul felt unprecedented pain under the erosion of negative energy, and at the same time, his throat emitted a blood-curdling wail uncontrollably.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!!!"

Even Vera, who had massacred her whole family, couldn't help but tremble after hearing the sound.

How many ways can a legendary necromancer with a spellcasting level of LV36 use to torture people?

In the following time, these people present were "lucky" to see it with their own eyes.

Xia En VII did not even torture the opponent's body, but chose to start directly from the soul.

It didn't take long for Selzer to completely collapse and voluntarily hand over the ownership of the contract, just hoping to die quickly.

But unfortunately, Shane VII did not satisfy even such a humble request. Instead, he transformed him into a vampire under his control while retaining his original spellcasting level.

After finishing all this, he smiled and said to Vera who was lying at his feet: "I don't think you need to teach me the next thing. You should know how to do it, right?"

"Of course! I will blame all the massacre tonight on my grandfather, and declare to the public that he transformed himself into an undead, and is ambitious in trying to rule the Salem Quant family and the entire Amn permanently."

Vera had an unabashed smile on her face.

Because she understood that with this excuse, not only could she get rid of the blame, but she could also legitimately enter the six-person council and inherit the seat that belonged to the family.

Anyway, it is easy for Stone Hammer Selzer to transform into a vampire.

Shane VII nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Remember, Soth will be your master from now on, and he will also be the master of the Salem Quante family. The whole meaning of your existence is to serve him, do you understand? "

"Understood! From now on, Lord Soth is my master, my faith, and the only light in my life. After entering the six-person council, I will gradually disintegrate the power of the other families and let them decline. , or become a dog loyal to Lord Soth."

Vera solemnly gave her assurance.

She knows better than anyone that the political situation in Amn will soon change, and this change will be completed in a way that most ordinary people cannot detect.

As for the family knights, soldiers, mages, warlocks and servants behind them, there is no need to worry too much about leaking secrets.

After all, every one of these guys was involved in tonight's massacre.

Not only were the accomplices stained with blood on their hands, but they also received generous trophies.

In this way, a cruel and bloody power change was completed quietly.

When the news spread a few days later, the entire Askatra and even Amn were plunged into shock and panic.

The other five members of the six-person council immediately summoned the successor of the Salem Quante family and had a secret conversation that lasted three hours.

No one knows exactly what was discussed, but the result was that Vera joined the Council of Six and became one of them.

The whole thing was quickly characterized as Selzer's evil conspiracy being exposed, and he became so angry that he launched a massacre against the rebels in the family.

Anyway, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and the Masked Mage Guild both stood up and proved that through prophecy magic, they had indeed detected the fact that Selzer himself had been transformed into an undead vampire.

Although the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart felt that there were too many doubts, they sent people to investigate further.

But soon they were besieged by Selzer himself and a large number of undead creatures and suffered heavy losses.

With great difficulty, he escaped back to the city and reported the news to the grand leader.

After this operation, Selzer was completely blamed.

The Salem Quant family, which was massacred and almost exterminated, also became the object of people's sympathy.

After all, in Vera's description, her parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces were all killed because they disagreed with her grandfather's evil plan to enslave the people of Amn.

Therefore, a tragic atmosphere is created invisibly.

Although some people doubt this, they dare not accuse a group of dead people without evidence to support it.

Just when Askatra was making a fuss about this incident, far away in the floating city in another world, Zuo Si was demonstrating the incredible ability of Shuoyou to the top scientists he dug from the earth. .

In just a few minutes, the black liquid completely infected a corpse that had just come off the assembly line.

Not only was most of its body completely metalized, but its heart was also replaced by a huge and powerful engine. The complex transmission system connecting flesh, blood and machinery amazed these elites in various industries.

A robotics and bionics expert couldn't help but jump up and shout "unscientific".

Not only that!

There is also an infected airship that has directly transformed from a vehicle that requires manual operation to an intelligent aircraft that can fly autonomously.

The original electric motor changed into the shape of sparkling oil in a very short time, and the energy storage crystal as the power source was also transformed into a defensive weapon that can release lightning attacks.

The layer of muscles wrapped inside the airbag has a good buffering and defense effect, and can last for a while even if it is suddenly violently attacked.

In short, in front of Shuoyou, the modern science and technology on earth that established the future through the industrial revolution seemed to have become meaningless overnight.

Because anything these experts can create, even if it's still in the conceptual stage, Shimmer Oil can easily and perfectly replicate, and often do it better than the original.

What Ke Shuoyou can do, such as giving soulless creatures consciousness and thinking ability to make them completely intelligent, they simply can't do.

"Damn! This thing has destroyed my faith in science."

McCus, a Ph.D. in physics, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

David, the mechanical engineer next to him, sighed with a wry smile: "Not only has my faith been destroyed, I feel that I am a completely worthless waste now.

It seems that the research and reverse engineering of those magical machines can be stopped.

With Shimmer Oil, we can easily mass-produce unimaginably powerful weapons.

As long as there are enough resources, it is even possible to directly cover the sky with aircraft, allowing the metal behemoths to run unbridled across the earth. "

"Yes! This thing is so foul and outrageous. Damn it! I really don't know if the research in the department has any meaning now."

An engineer wearing a Heavy Machinery Research Institute sign showed a very painful and desperate expression.

It felt like I was ambitiously trying to make a career, but suddenly I was doused with ice water from head to toe.

Seeing the wailing reactions of this group of experts, Zuo Si couldn't help coughing hard, and then said with a smile: "Why, as human elites, are you defeated by a small amount of oil?

Could it be that your original intention of joining science was to create destructive weapons, or to come up with some shocking inventions?

No!

The real goal of scientific research is to explore the truth of the universe, so that we can better understand the world and understand the principles behind phenomena.

What's more, do you think Shuoyou is really omnipotent?

Big mistake!

Although Shuoyou has strong infection and transformation abilities, it has a big flaw, that is, it has no creativity and can only simply copy, imitate, and piece together.

This means that if you want it to learn to make things like airplanes, cannons, tanks, and spaceships, you first need to have a basic sample.

So I can tell you clearly that oil is just a tool that can help us solve the difficulties we encounter in materials, structures, power systems, etc.

It can never replace your rational thinking and creativity.

The most important thing is that shimmering oil only represents a possibility and does not mean that we will go dark on this route in the future.

Quite the opposite!

I want to maintain the diversity within civilization as much as possible and constantly try to explore various possibilities.

Now, I hand over to you No. 5 Shimmering Oil, which will not actively infect but has the strongest learning ability. I hope you can make good use of it instead of relying too much on it. "

As these words blurted out, the scientists on the field who were still complaining in frustration one second fell into terrible silence the next second.

About three to five seconds later, a burst of thunderous applause suddenly erupted.

Dr. White, who was standing next to him, shouted excitedly with his eyes shining: "Your Excellency Soth, what you said is really good.

Our research should not be limited to applied science, but should also invest more manpower and material resources in basic and theoretical science.

Only in this way can science and magic be better combined to create a unique and highly developed civilization.

The oil is indeed a perfect tool, thank you for your generosity in giving it to us.

I think it won’t be long before some great works will continue to appear in the floating city. "

"I hope so. I will take away several large airships when I leave later. Is there enough inventory in the floating field now?" Zuo Si asked straightforwardly.

"I think the problem shouldn't be big. There are always a large number of airships parked on the floating island, and they are now our most important means of transportation."

Dr. White replied in the affirmative without hesitation.

Although he is not responsible for this area, he can see countless airships coming in and out every day, and even set up a special transportation department to be responsible for dispatching.

This shows that the number of airships in the floating city has reached a considerable scale.

"That's good. Here, this is a sample of No. 5 Shining Oil. Please put it into the culture tank later. As long as you put enough material and energy into it, it will continue to multiply and increase in number."

After that, Zuo Si handed the other party a piece of black sparkling oil in a special container, and walked towards the second floor of the central tower without looking back.

After a while, he saw Vanessa who was busy.

This legendary lich was obviously a little overwhelmed by the players. There were hundreds of applications and messy proposals submitted on the table.

Fortunately, undead creatures do not feel tired and do not need to sleep or rest. Otherwise, ordinary people would probably die suddenly from exhaustion.

When she saw Zuo Si walking in from the door, Vanessa immediately held her forehead and complained: "Goddess of Magic! Thank God! Mr. Soth, you finally showed up. Otherwise, I don't know what to do."

"Huh? Did any uncontrollable accident happen?" Zuo Si asked with some confusion.

“Uncontrollable unexpected circumstances?

No, no, no, you underestimate the destructive power of these players.

In fact, they have completely ruined that world.

I don’t even know how to describe it, you’d better take a look for yourself. "

After that, Vanessa raised her hand and projected a picture directly onto the wall through the connection between the airship and the magic crystal tower.

moment!

A picture that stunned Zuo Si appeared in front of him.

On a flat and empty grassland, dozens of phalanxes on both sides were advancing continuously according to the command of the drums. The pace was so uniform that it even gave people the illusion that they were practicing.

But in fact, they are not only fighting, but the casualty rate is frighteningly high.

What was originally supposed to be a fight between people wearing armor and holding crossbows, swords, spears and other cold weapons has now completely evolved into a modern scene of queuing up to be shot.

The officers, obviously played by players, shouted orders and slogans at the top of their lungs, instructing the indigenous soldiers to squat down and fire immediately after entering the firing range.

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire and a large cloud of white gunpowder smoke, dozens or even hundreds of people fell to the ground with scarlet blood splashing on their chests, screaming in pain and weakness.

But no one paid attention to these cannon fodder who were destined to be hopeless.

All the living soldiers were wiping the remaining gunpowder residue in the barrel at a very fast speed, and then quickly reloading, continuing this brutal killing of either you or me.

Behind the phalanx, a row of bronze cannons lined up, firing volleys at the cavalry coming from both sides.

An unlucky noble knight and his mount were torn apart instantly when they were hit by a solid cannonball.

There is no doubt that this is definitely not what World War in A Song of Ice and Fire should be like.

As Vanessa said, the world is completely screwed up.

"What the hell is this? He...where did they get the flintlocks, gunpowder and cannons?" Zuo Si asked with the corner of his mouth twitching violently.

You know, it hasn't been long since he left last time!

Why does it seem that just as hundreds of years have passed, the form of warfare has evolved directly from the Middle Ages to the Napoleonic Wars?

Vanessa explained with a wry smile: “Since players discovered that in this world, the power of chemistry, especially gunpowder, is not limited, some of them have begun to try to make some thermal weapons.

At first, they were just some inferior incendiary bombs and grenades.

But soon as a large number of people with technical skills joined, the weapons were rapidly upgraded.

In just over a week, some teams had hundreds of matchlocks and flintlock muskets.

In particular, Jack and Wu Sheng's team also purchased machine tools from the research department at a high price.

Immediately at the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, a 3,000-man firearms force was built and easily captured several strong noble castles.

When other players saw this, they immediately imitated him.

As a result, firearms spread rapidly in the world, and even the dukes had to hold their noses to pay high commissions to players, and even promised titles and territories.

Otherwise, once they lose the support of players, they will quickly be defeated by their enemies.

As for gunpowder, players have discovered several saltpeter mines, so the ammunition is basically sufficient.

Oh, by the way, Lord Stannis was accidentally killed by a stray bullet a week ago because he wanted to forcibly confiscate the firearms from players.

Currently leading his forces and retainers is his daughter Celine Baratheon. "

"Is it really a stray bullet, rather than those players colluding with each other and asking each other to help deal with this unscrupulous camp leader?"

Zuo Si obviously didn't have much hope for the moral integrity of his players.

They can do things like killing camp leaders without any psychological burden.

Especially those camp leaders who want to take food from themselves without benefiting from it.

"Well - maybe they had a private deal, but I really didn't have the heart to care about such inconsequential matters at that time.

Anyway, after Stannis died, his daughter Celine Baratheon fell into the hands of the players.

Not only did those guys dress up the little guy beautifully and cutely every day, but they also launched a counterattack in her name, defeating the coalition forces of the Baratheon family and the Tyrell family under Renly.

However, according to my observation, this should be because the players who have taken refuge in the latter want to weaken its troops and power first, and then stand up to turn the tide when the situation is critical, so as to gain its trust and reuse.

In short, players have completely regarded the continent of Westeros as their own playground, harvesting lives and wealth unscrupulously.

Prince Joffrey, who had just ascended the throne, just cursed Nex of the Shadow Guild, and was castrated that night.

The Queen was furious about this and vowed to make the Shadow Guild pay the price.

As a result, before it got dark, she was kidnapped out of the Red Keep and thrown into a dark basement, where she was ravaged by dozens of dirty homeless people day and night.

When he was rescued, he was not even conscious.

Since then, Cersei seems to have suffered from a serious mental illness, locking herself in her room every day and not daring to come out..."

When it comes to the countless horrific deeds of players, even Vanessa, who has seen many big scenes and is herself an evil camp lich, can't help but shake her head.

Too insidious!

too scary!

Too cruel!

He simply couldn't believe that a group of souls who were just ordinary people in another world, after assuming the identity of players, actually felt as desperate as a natural disaster.

This is true for bystanders, let alone the nobles and civilians of Westeros.

Especially after the war broke out, the players' power continued to grow like a snowball.

Each small team has recruited at least hundreds to thousands of indigenous soldiers, and it has become a cancer that cannot be eliminated.

The great nobles must rely on them to fight against the enemy. Not only must they give money, food, land, and titles to win over them as much as possible, but they must also always bear the backlash caused by the other party's sudden rebellion.

As for the little nobles...

Sorry, the little nobles have been continuously consumed in the war with increasing intensity after the friendly negotiation between the players.

Their castles, lands, wives, and daughters have long become trophies for players.

It can be said that if the war continues, the lower foundation of the feudal system in Westeros may be completely destroyed.

We must know that the proportion of deaths in the era of queuing and shooting is not comparable to that in the era of cold weapons.

If you look at the war records in European history, you will know that it was common for generals, nobles and even kings to die on the battlefield at that time.

And this scene is now being staged again on the land of the Seven Kingdoms.

But the princes and nobles were not prepared at all, let alone what the loud roaring firearms on the battlefield meant.

Compared with the Westeros continent, the civil war in the Free Trade City-states across the strait is not much better.

It's just that the land battle of lining up to kill has turned into a naval gunfire exchange in the raging sea.

Players working for different city-states relied on the technology and magical power at hand to build battleships in the age of sail.

The pirates from the Iron Islands originally planned to take advantage of the situation and steal a fortune.

As a result, after seeing the sailing battleship with three decks of guns that shook the earth when it opened fire, I immediately wanted to turn around and go home to find my mother.

But how could the players give up the experience points that came to their door and directly join forces to strangle him in the sea.

There was also a small group that took advantage of the situation and entered the Iron Islands, allowing this group of iron people who were accustomed to only robbing others to taste the feeling of being robbed.

Almost all the villages and ports along the coast were looted.

Anyone who dares to resist during this process will be put to death.

The only good thing is that the Slaver's Bay area, which was completely occupied by players, has finally entered the production and construction mode from the previous plunder mode.

Through the guidance of issuing tasks, they began to build a simple administrative organization to direct the slaves who did not know what to do without their masters to farm, mine, weave, and fish.

The originally turbulent society has slowly calmed down...
