A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

There is no doubt that the internal chaos in the Kingdom of Cormyr is not so much affected by external factors as it is systemic problems caused by the internal feudal system.

After all, enfeoffing the land to the great nobles, who would then allocate it down one level at a time, and then completing the rule of a country with extremely low administrative maintenance costs, itself has very big drawbacks.

Especially when the royal family begins to decline or shows incompetence, the nobles who control the land, population, and army will not continue to choose to obey the central government as stupidly as the bureaucrats.

Instead, they will either choose to remain neutral and watch, or choose to obtain royal blood through marriage, and then find an opportunity to directly usurp the throne.

This is determined by the objective power structure of the entire country and is not subject to human will.

You must know that in a country that completely implements the feudal system, the royal family does not have supreme power like the monarch of a unified dynasty.

Quite the opposite!

If the feudal country is compared to a modern enterprise, then the royal family is only the chairman and largest shareholder, while the nobles are equivalent to other large and small shareholders.

If the chairman and major shareholder can bring everyone together to make money and protect the interests of shareholders, then it will naturally be good for you, me, and everyone.

But if there is a problem with the former, then the other shareholders will have various thoughts, and even privately kick out the royal family as the chairman and major shareholder, and replace them with a new leader.

Therefore, if you want to rule a feudal country well for a long time, you often have high requirements for the king's talents.

This is why an outstanding king can quickly make a kingdom rise and become powerful in just a few years or even more than ten years, while a mediocre king can bring a powerful kingdom to its knees in just a few years. Even fall apart.

From the perspective of genetics and genetic probability, it is obviously unrealistic for the royal family to ensure that each of its successors is extremely intelligent and possesses superb political and military skills.

In addition, for the sake of stable rule, the Kingdom of Cormyr adopts a typical eldest son inheritance system.

That is, the first-born son has the highest inheritance rights. If there is no son, the eldest princess will be chosen.

So whether the King does well or not depends entirely on luck.

In its millennium-long history, the Obeschier family has been able to survive several crises mainly because of two points.

One is the excellent royal education acquired, and there are basically no faint kings or tyrants;

The other is the interference of the churches of the gods and various forces.

In fact, the feudal system of the Kingdom of Cormyr can be maintained for such a long time, even in Faerûn, a magical land full of magic, monsters, gods, demons, and devils, which is an extremely rare exception.

Looking at the records of the rise of the human race, as well as those dynasties and families that have disappeared in the long history, it is easy to realize that most countries that implement the feudal system will not live longer than three to four hundred years.

The shorter ones may disappear in one or two hundred years.

However, the problem is that a ruling system that has been forcibly extended for thousands of years must have huge hidden dangers and problems within it.

Not to mention anything else, just mediating the complex aristocratic factions formed by continuous marriages and resolving conflicts among various political forces has already put the ruler's skills to the test.

Not to mention the enemies who have developed a deadly feud with the Oberschier family, as well as the Zhentarim's endless infiltration and subversion.

If it hadn't been for Assan IV's successful cross-sea expedition that defied all expectations and greatly improved the royal family's prestige, it's hard to say how many nobles would be willing to be loyal to the royal family now.

But Yalusel's defeat and capture caused this prestige that had been hard to establish to disappear instantly.

Kurremos and Ximenmen saw this precisely, so they wanted to split Cormyr from within and first win over some nobles to set up a banner against the royal family.

In this way, no matter whether the plan ultimately succeeds or fails, they can significantly consume and weaken the country's power.

After all, the cost of inciting civil unrest is much lower than spending a lot of manpower, material resources and money to launch an invasion.

In addition, once the seeds of such civil strife and division are sown, it may have a negative impact on Cormyr for years, decades, or centuries.

Of course, Zuo Si still didn't know about the little tricks these two old yinbi were doing in private.

But even if I knew, I wouldn't care too much.

He didn't think that a country with a very high symbolic significance like Cormyr would be easily brought down by one or two conspiracies.

Otherwise, it would not have lasted for thousands of years.

Most importantly, the royal family of Cormyr has a very close relationship with the elves.

It is said that when the elves abandoned Cormanthor and left, they once cast an extremely powerful magic, which linked the national destiny of Cormyr to the original purple dragon.

As long as this purple dragon is alive, no one can subvert or even destroy this country.

No matter how careful and foolproof the plan is, it will ultimately fail.

This can be seen from the fact that the future Shade City returned to the material plane and announced that it would restore the glory of Netheril, but was defeated by the Kingdom of Cormyr.

This ancient human kingdom always seems to be protected by some inexplicable force.

Otherwise, in terms of hard power, Shadow City should be superior to the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Therefore, the cautious Zuo Si adopted a roundabout strategy to test, and Yalusel was an important chess piece prepared for this.

Since losing her royal status and being exiled, the Iron Princess has been following Zuo Si.

Watch how he handles a series of complex and cumbersome matters including politics, military, power structure, urban planning and reconstruction, etc.

Then the Dragon Coast, which was originally broken into one place, and the towns in the West Hartland area were integrated into a country.

In Yalusel's eyes, this young man who is similar to himself, or even younger, seems to have endless knowledge and wisdom in his mind.

No matter what kind of troubles and difficulties you encounter, you can easily and immediately provide solutions.

Especially Ximen, which originally showed depression and decline under the ravages of the Zhentil Fort army, returned to its former prosperity in less than half a month.

The giant airships floating in the sky were constantly transporting various specialties from the west coast, attracting all the merchants in the Falling Star Sea to flock here.

The noisy markets and shops are open 24 hours a day.

The most important thing is that under Zuo Si's rule, Ximen, which was originally a mixed bag of good and bad, showed unprecedented order and security for the first time.

Whether it is theft, robbery, or other crimes, there is no hiding from the newly formed law enforcement agencies, and it can take a few hours at most to catch the criminals and bring them to justice.

That indescribable efficiency stunned all locals and outsiders.

Some people speculate that this must be the effect of magic, while others think that 80% of this is help from gods.

But one thing is certain, both locals and foreign businessmen in Ximen recognized the abilities of the new ruler and began to look forward to how prosperous the huge land under his rule would become in the future.

As for Yalusel himself, in just a week or two, under the comprehensive offensive of psychic suggestion, hypnosis and other magic, as well as a large number of words, actions and psychological techniques, he completely fell into a false fabrication created by himself. In hallucination.

Under Zuo Si's teasing without leaving any trace, she could be described as being in love with her.

Even casual eye contact and physical contact between the two would cause the princess to secrete a large amount of hormones, and she would often have uncontrollable fantasies and even erotic dreams.

It was as if the previously suppressed feminine characteristics were suddenly awakened.

But Yalusel didn't understand why. He had hinted and extended invitations more than once, but the other party always maintained an ambiguous posture of aloofness, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

What makes the Iron Princess even more unbelievable is that the more she is appetized like this, the easier it is for her to become sensitive, excited, expectant, and hungry inside, just like a beast in estrus.

Those complex and contradictory emotions made this young woman who had never had any love experience feel pain and happiness for the first time.

Obviously, all of this is an atmosphere deliberately created by Zuo Si by grasping the other party's psychology.

The purpose is also very simple, which is to first arouse Yalusel's lust, then deliberately not satisfy her accumulating and rising desires, and finally distort her mind, values ​​and world view, making her willingly become a puppet under her control.

In particular, long-term suppressed desires will lead to inevitable psychological abnormalities.

The identity and character of the Iron Princess determine that once she becomes abnormal, she will definitely try her best to hide it and will never let any outsiders know.

At this point, whoever satisfies her cravings has a degree of control over her.

Of course, it is still far from reaching this state.

So Zuo Si pretended to reach out casually to pick up the documents on the table, but "accidentally" touched Yalusel's arm.

moment!

The latter immediately trembled uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted. Then all the skin from his neck to his face turned red under the stimulation of the outside world, and his heartbeat and breathing suddenly accelerated several times.

"Ah, sorry."

Zuo Si quickly raised his head with an apologetic smile, and then asked with a very surprised look: "What's wrong with you? Is it very hot in the room?"

"It's indeed very hot. I don't know what happened to the weather, but the temperature suddenly became so high."

Saying that, Yalusel quickly picked up the round lady's fan and fanned herself hard, then picked up the cup and drank all the water in it to cover up the strange reaction and the restlessness in her heart.

"Yes! I can't believe that even in this season, the weather is still so hot."

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes that was not easily noticed.

hot?

What a joke!

Now we are about to transition from autumn to winter.

Although the area around the Falling Star Sea is generally slightly warmer than other places, it is only between five and ten degrees Celsius.

The maids and guards outside the palace had all changed into thick cotton clothes.

But what about Ya Lussel?

Wearing only a sexy black low-cut dress, you can even vaguely see the looming skin underneath through the black veil.

Therefore, her "heat" definitely does not come from the environment, but from the fire of desire rising in her heart.

After drinking a glass of cold water, the Iron Princess finally suppressed her restless heart, took a deep breath and asked: "How long do you plan to stay in Ximen, and when do you plan to return to Amn to hold the coronation ceremony?"

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied: "No rush, it will probably take at least a month.

After all, the land area from Baldur's Gate to the Dragon Coast is slightly larger than the entire Amn combined.

Achieving effective rule over so many independent towns and villages was no easy task.

I had to make a detailed plan and set up the bureaucracy and judicial system.

This meant drawing at least five hundred experienced officers from Luskan, the Nelanthal Islands, Amn, and elsewhere.

Some of these important cities, located at transportation and trade hubs, also require large-scale expansion.

Only after all this is taken care of will I consider returning to Amn for the coronation ceremony.

Otherwise, what would happen even if he became the emperor of the empire?

It's just a title that sounds noble. "

"So... you don't plan to carry out enfeoffment, but instead send officials to directly rule all towns?"

Yalusel seemed to understand something, and a very shocked expression appeared on his face.

Because in her opinion, the cost of this method of governance is too high, and it is far less cost-effective than enfeoffing and granting autonomy to local councils.

In particular, bureaucratic systems that are unsound and lack supervision tend to have alarmingly high corruption rates.

Once you are far away from the core area of ​​​​rule, taxation often becomes very difficult.

This is why the continent of Faerûn is dotted with independent city-states, large and small, that have no tendency to expand externally.

Most countries are either parliamentary systems or feudal systems, and there are basically no unified dynasties.

In the absence of effective management, the larger the land area occupied, the more difficult it is to manage and tax.

Therefore, apart from the theocratic empire of Mulhorand, there is no second truly great empire.

And even the theocratic Mulhorand has experienced more than one rebellion and division.

There founded by the red-robed mage is a typical example of the separation from the former's rule.

Zuo Si obviously knew the princess's thoughts very well, and nodded with a smile; "That's right!

I once told someone that I wanted to build a country that was large enough and highly unified so that all mortals and even gods could see another possibility.

So what I built was not an empire in the traditional sense, but a country with a strong central government and a complex bureaucracy.

Its final form will encompass the entire west coast of Faerûn and become a super magical empire that surpasses Netheril and Imaskar.

To this end, I have prepared nearly 10 billion gold coins in materials and wealth, and will establish magic academies in every city so that all qualified people can obtain the most basic magic education for free.

Likewise, I will continue to train professional officers and law enforcers.

In fact, this matter has already been implemented in Kalingshan, which has the highest literacy rate in the south, as well as in Luskan and Nelanthel Islands, which I previously controlled.

In addition, I also trained some children from the slums in the mage tower in Askatra.

So I have at hand enough human resources to serve as officials and enforcers, as well as an effective regulatory body.

This also means that I can say no to the feudal system and the nobility, and there is no need to compromise with the merchants and squires.

What I want is the supreme power of my country;

What is needed is that hundreds of thousands of troops can be dispatched to any place with a single order;

What is important is that all resources and power within the scope of rule can be deployed at will.

To a large extent, you can understand that I am a relatively enlightened, less bloodthirsty and cruel tyrant. "

As these words blurted out, Yalusel's pupils suddenly enlarged, shrank, then enlarged, and then narrowed again...

There was a storm in my heart instantly!

As a princess of the Cormyr royal family, it was natural for her not to know what it would mean if Zuo Si really did it.

Especially the short four words "I am the country" made his whole body tremble slightly with excitement, as if the door to a new world had suddenly opened.

There is no doubt that the character of Yalusel is very similar to that of his father Assan IV. They both like to fight and fight, and are eager to establish great achievements that no one can match.

Therefore, "I am the country" instantly aroused strong ideological resonance.

If possible, she hoped that Cormyr would also be a country where the royal family, especially the king, had supreme power and could deal with disobedient nobles at will.

After several minutes, the princess finally came to her senses. She leaned forward slightly and brought her face that looked very delicate and beautiful after applying makeup to her face. She said word by word: "Please allow me to do so." I swear allegiance to you! Personally participate in the establishment of this great empire!"

"Haha, I'm sorry, I can't accept your allegiance."

Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head to express his refusal.

"Why? Just because I have the blood of the Cormyr royal family flowing through me?"

Yalusel frowned subconsciously.

“This is just one of those things.

In my opinion, you should be on a broader stage to use your talents.

Today's difficulties are temporary, and you shouldn't lower your expectations for the future.

What's more, I feel that we no longer need to be loyal to such boring things, but can become closer. "

After saying that, Zuo Si raised his arm and gently brushed the other person's forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, ears, chin and slender neck with his fingers.

Yalusel, who had already accumulated a fire of desire that had nowhere to vent, couldn't stand such stimulation, and his whole body immediately became unbearably hot. He immediately closed his eyes and began to lean forward.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and you can even feel each other's breath and the smell of hormones emanating from their bodies.

Just when the Iron Princess felt that her lips were about to touch Zuo Si's lips, a rush of footsteps from far to near was like a basin of cold water, which instantly made her withdraw from the wonderful taste and regain her rationality, and hurriedly Back up and make a show of returning to the chair.

However, it is not difficult to see from the shyness, annoyance and resentment in his eyes that Yalusel is full of disgust for this guy who messed up his good affairs.

And she understood that Zuo Si would marry the heir designated by Xia En VII in the future.

Therefore, for things like having an affair in private, you still need to pay attention to the impact before the marriage is completed.

The Iron Princess, who had regained her noble demeanor, stared at the corridor outside the palace with the corner of her eye, trying to figure out who was actually causing trouble at this time.

About three to five seconds later, she found a blond girl walking in happily from outside, waving a bag of gold coins in her hand, and shouted happily: "Sos! Look!

I earned another two hundred and fifty gold coins from the market today!

Counting what I earned before, I already have a treasure of five thousand gold coins.

You are indeed right!

Only by learning how to do business can you quickly accumulate wealth!

Earning two hundred to five hundred gold coins a day is six thousand to fifteen thousand gold coins a month!

That’s 72,000 to 180,000 gold coins a year!

Ten years is 700,000 to 1.8 million gold coins!

One hundred years is..."

You don't need to ask to know that this blond girl is none other than the underage golden dragon that Zuo Si deceived-Gelsanya.

Since Fuzor Chambery left with his Zhentil Fort army, she entered the largest and most prosperous port city on the Dragon Coast with the large army, and during a visit to the market Obsessed with doing business to make money.

After all, dragons are creatures whose greed for treasure is engraved in their bones. Whether it is an evil colored dragon, a kind metal dragon, or a neutral gem dragon, there is basically no difference.

It’s just that the chromatic dragon will do whatever it takes to steal, rob, and cheat;

The metal dragon will choose to sweep up the villain's property and take it for himself when fighting evil;

Gem dragons are more inclined to use their knowledge or services to conduct transactions.

After three days of market research, Gersanya successfully discovered a secret, that is, most foreign businessmen are not very clear about the prices of specialties shipped from the west coast.

Therefore, she decisively started the business of a second-hand dealer.

By earning the price difference of the information in the middle, I actually got the first pot of gold in Longsheng.

From then on, it was unstoppable.

Almost every morning, the first thing I do is to carry my beloved suitcase and wander between the pier and the airport where the airship lands, to contact the supply of goods for customers in need.

After a period of hard work, this girl who looked a bit cute to outsiders has become a rising star in the Ximen business circle.

Due to her lawful and good nature, she would never lie, let alone provide substandard goods as good ones, and the price difference she earned every time was very low.

With good reputation and credit, we have successfully accumulated many old customers.

Looking at the bulging leather bag in the golden dragon girl's hand, Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably, he held his head and complained: "You have a pretty good idea.

But the problem is that this kind of behavior of making information difference will definitely not last long.

As trade expands, more and more businessmen will gradually become familiar with commodity prices.

In a few years, it may be difficult for a broker like you to attract any business.

In addition, if I remember correctly, you have never paid taxes on the money you earned, right?

If taxes are cut off, there won’t be much left. "

"Huh? And...you still have to pay taxes!"

Garsania's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly hugged the money bag tightly in her arms, like a small animal protecting its food.

Apparently, asking a money-hungry dragon to pay taxes would be as good as killing them.

However, the lawful tendency of the golden dragon forced her to abide by local laws, which seemed very painful and entangled.

Zuo Si couldn't help laughing and jokingly said: "How fresh!

Have you ever seen any city or country that doesn’t charge taxes?

If you don't want to pay, that's fine. At best, don't do business in Ximen Market in the future.

Otherwise, if you are caught, the little money you earn will not be enough to pay the fine. "

Gorsaniya quickly shook her head: "No! Don't! I want to make more money! Tell me where to pay taxes? How much do I have to pay based on my income?"

"Go to the market tax bureau. Based on your income, you have to pay about 400 to 500 gold coins, which is 10% of the profit."

Zuo Si gave the answer straightforwardly.

All these tax rates and types were formulated after several rounds of meetings with economic experts from the Floating City, so he remembered them very clearly.

Generally speaking, whoever earns more pays a higher tax rate.

If you want to support that industry, just give tax refunds directly.

It's okay to hide it secretly and not communicate, but don't get caught anyway.

Otherwise, the first time will be a warning, and the second time will be a tenfold fine.

Unless you make a one-time deal, it is only a matter of time before you are caught under the surveillance and detection of magic.

What's more, Zuo Si is also preparing to launch a simplified version of Shuoyou mobile terminal for sale.

Businessmen will definitely choose to buy in order to obtain first-hand market and supply information.

By then, no matter what they did, whether it was bribery or tax evasion, Zuo Si would know it clearly.

"Five hundred gold coins? Why don't you go and grab it! Is it easy for me to get up early and stay late every day to make some money? Wuwuwu..."

When she heard that she had to hand over one-tenth of her property, Gorsaniya was so angry that she cried on the spot.

When she thought that she would have to work in vain for a day or two to make up for her losses, she felt indescribable frustration, pain and despair.

What a bully to the dragon!

Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Okay, stop howling.

Taxation plays a role in the secondary distribution of wealth at the social level.

The more you earn, the more you have to pay.

In this way, the government will have money to carry out infrastructure projects such as road construction and urban reconstruction, and provide jobs for the poor.

At the same time, we must develop education, medical care, and provide rescue services for various natural and man-made disasters.

If a person earns only one or two silver coins every day, he definitely does not need to pay taxes.

But for a rich person like you, who has hundreds of gold coins in his account every day, paying only 10% is already a very low tax rate.

Here, I will give you this emerald as compensation. "

"Hey! Thanks, I knew you were the best."

As soon as Gorsaniya caught the thrown gem, she burst into laughter and her face changed so quickly that it was a unique skill.

As a golden dragon, she could easily tell that this emerald was worth at least a thousand gold coins, which was not only enough to make up for her loss after paying taxes, but also make a small profit, so she quickly hurried to the market and the tax bureau to take the initiative Went to pay taxes.

As soon as the golden dragon girl left, Yalusel asked in a slightly amused tone: "You seem to have a very close relationship with the girl just now?"

"Well! Garsania is a golden dragon in its teenage years, with a very powerful force behind her. I hope to establish a good friendship with those metal dragons through her." Zuo Si explained casually.

"She's a dragon?!"

Yalusel was stunned for a moment.

She originally thought that the girl taken by Zuo Si might be the heir of a close confidant or noble, and could be either a maid or a lover.

This situation is very common in many places in Faerûn.

But I never expected it to be a giant dragon!

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes! Gelsanya is a brave golden dragon. She dared to rush straight towards Fuzuoer Qianberry, but was seriously injured by his targeted weapons and almost died. .”

"I see……"

After figuring out the true identity of the blond girl, Yalusel not only did not calm down, but her expression became even weirder. She seemed to be thinking about some forbidden scene in her mind, and subconsciously tightened her legs.

Obviously, the word "dragon" instantly triggered her repressed desires, and she began to have some involuntary fantasies.

Through psychic spying magic such as detecting thoughts, Zuo Si easily discovered the scene that the princess was fantasizing about, and even conducted some inducements to make the already restricted scene even more serious.

Just a few minutes later, Yalusel suddenly trembled and woke up from that extreme happiness.

She didn't even stay for a second. She immediately stood up and hurried back to her room to prevent any abnormalities on her body from being discovered. She also changed into a pair of tight shorts and a skirt.

"Great Master, your control over mortal desires is becoming more and more powerful.

I bet it only takes a few intimate interactions for that seemingly arrogant princess to get down like a dog and willingly lick your toes.

If it's convenient, you can leave her to me for a while.

I promise to train him into a qualified servant. "

Accompanied by a familiar voice, a female dark elf with long silver hair walked out of the slow shadows.

"Don't say that, Viconia.

You have to understand that things like human nature and desires are very complicated.

Some red lines are best not to be crossed easily, otherwise they may have counterproductive effects.

For someone like Yalusel, the best way is to seduce her into depravity bit by bit, rather than humiliate, torture and abuse her when she is not satisfied with her desires.

Because her self-esteem and arrogance are a huge weakness in themselves, there is no need to create one out of thin air. "

As Zuo Si spoke, he cast his eyes on the dark elf priest who was coming towards him.

Since the mark of hell was branded on Viconia's body, this woman with a petite figure and a beautiful face has become a priest who serves him, mainly engaged in tasks of investigating cults and devil worshipers.

Especially after launching the plan to annex the north, Viconia has been secretly operating in various major towns and has successfully eliminated six small gangs that were secretly raising people for human sacrifice.

This time, he was transferred from Dongxing City mainly to find out whether there were such unknown forces in and around Ximen City.

Due to her race, she often easily wins the trust of those devil worshipers, and then kills them after figuring out the truth.

"Hahahaha! So you like to make proud women surrender in front of you and enjoy the pleasure of wantonly ravaging the other person's body and even spirit, don't you?"

Viconia let out a pleasant laugh, then came closer with a very unrestrained movement, reaching out her hand to touch Zuo Si's strong chest and muscles through her clothes.

After getting along for a period of time, she has figured out the temper of this new owner, and she understands that as long as she can complete the task well, she will not be punished for doing similar small actions occasionally.

Most importantly, once the seduction is successful, she may become pregnant and give birth to a child with great power.

You must know that ordinary demons can already make dark elf women give birth to powerful mixed-race children.

Therefore, Viconia is looking forward to what kind of powerful and terrifying monster she will give birth to if she combines with the unique form of the Great Devil and the lord of the ninth level of Baator Hell.

"What, do you want to try it?"

Zuo Si grabbed the other person's slender neck and lifted him up from the ground.

moment!

Viconia experienced a strong sense of suffocation, but did not show any fear. Instead, she raised her head and showed a slightly provocative look.

The next second...

She saw the blue light flashing in Zuo Si's pupils, and immediately she lost consciousness as she was immersed in waves of continuous pleasure like a tide.

The feeling of suffocation is not painful during this process, but adds extra stimulation.

I don’t know how long it took.

It may be a few minutes, it may be ten minutes...

When Viconia opened her eyes and got up from the ground, she found that Zuo Si had finished processing the documents on the table and was drinking tea while looking at her with a slightly playful look.

If it were any other woman, she would definitely be very embarrassed, and she might even want to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.

But she made a gesture of sucking her fingers like a normal person, and then said with a satisfied look: "You are becoming more and more proficient in using this kind of magic.

But I'm curious, don't you have this desire yourself?

Why do you always use magic instead of rewarding your servants in person? "

"You want me to reward you personally?"

Zuo Si asked with a half-smile.

"Of course! After all, which priest can refuse to have some intimate relationship with the master he serves."

Viconia showed her desire unabashedly.

As a dark elf woman, she is born with an uncontrollable greed for power and strength.

No traditional dark elf feels that he has too much power or too much power, and will always do his best to get more.

"Believe me, it's for your own good not to give such a reward. Because if something had happened to us just now, I'm afraid you would be a corpse now, and your death would be very, very miserable." Zuo Si warned meaningfully.

At first, Viconia didn't understand the meaning of these words, so she opened her mouth to ask.

But the moment she saw the holy symbol of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, she understood everything. At the same time, her face became not as dark as before because of the fright.

After all, the reward is access to the body for negative distance contact and exchange of body fluids.

This also means that the terrifying viruses, bacteria and deadly toxins contained in the body of this son of the plague will most likely kill him.

Even if Zuo Si himself could control it, there was no guarantee that the jealous goddess wouldn't do something.

moment!

Viconia's clothes were soaked with sweat, and she quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I'm extremely sorry, I was so presumptuous. Thank you for your kind protection and allowing me to live until now."

Zuo Si waved his hand indifferently: "You're welcome, I have always been very generous to capable subordinates. Now, tell me the results of your investigation in the recent period."

“After my investigation, there are no large-scale cults, devil worshipers, or satanic cults in the West Heartland region and the Dragon Coast.

The only ones who are still a threat are those women in the special service industry who believe in Gracia, the lord of the sixth level of hell.

And I discovered that they are currently planning a sacrifice and summoning.

The location is somewhere in Amn.

Oh, by the way, the mind flayers who originally migrated to Baldur's Gate are also missing. They seem to have escaped after Sarevok's defeat. "

Viconia told everything she knew.

"Gracia's Order?"

Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought for a moment.

He had heard that as the only descendant of Asmodeus, Gracia had traveled to the material world when she was not very famous, so there were several orders belonging to her in Faerûn.

However, compared with the lords of other levels, the Hell Princess's cult is not only small in size, but also because most of its worshipers are young people addicted to pleasure and indulgence, as well as professionals such as prostitutes and madams, its destructive power is basically negligible. .

To be precise, these people rarely even kill, but only torture themselves through drug use, alcoholism, and indulgence in various ways.

Zuo Si really couldn't figure out why these guys suddenly had to hold sacrifices and summoning rituals.

Could it be that Gracia wanted to avoid other lords and talk to herself alone about the power of attorney from the Lord of Hell?

If so, things get interesting.

"Master, do you need me to continue tracking the movements of this group of people?"

Viconia asked cautiously.

"No, no, it's not a big deal anyway. Compared to this, I would rather you visit Irenicas on my behalf after completing the investigation of Ximen."

Zuo Si gave the task calmly.

"Erenikas?!"

Upon hearing this name, Viconia's eyes suddenly burst into undisguised hatred.

She would never forget that it was this mage who suddenly appeared out of thin air and captured her, then put her in a dungeon and ignored her.

"That's right! I have reached some agreements with him, and now it's almost time to fulfill them. As my envoy, you can stay there and wait for instructions."

When he said these words, Zuo Si's eyes suddenly became dark, which made the dark elf feel frightened.
