A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

After completing the transaction, Zuo Si was not in a hurry to summon the little giant spirit in the lamp.

Instead, he studied the hidden magic runes on the surface for a while, and then stuffed them into the satchel he always carried.

I plan to wait until I finish my trip to Candlekeep, and then use my rich knowledge base to try to answer all kinds of tricky riddles that the djinn may ask.

When he led the soldiers back to the hotel, the sea in the east had begun to turn slightly white.

If nothing else, the sun will come out soon.

"I have been working hard all night and I feel so tired. It seems that for my current body and age, long-term physical labor and staying up late are still a bit too much."

Zuo Si stood at the door, yawning and shaking his head helplessly.

As the "little prince who stayed up late" in his college dormitory back then, he once had the experience of "cultivating immortality" by not sleeping more than three hours a day for a week, which shocked several other roommates.

Of course, it is also possible that he was afraid that he would die suddenly in the dormitory.

But now, I feel a little unbearable even after staying up for a night or two without sleeping.

Just when Zuo Si was about to wake up the waiter who was napping on the counter and prepare a bucket of hot water for himself to take a bath, he suddenly found a black figure coming out of the entrance of the cellar.

The soldier immediately stepped forward alertly, holding a shield in front of him.

But soon, the tense expression on his face relaxed.

Because the person who came was none other than Fangers.

I saw the werewolf girl raised her nose and sniffed closer, and her eyes widened in shock: "This is the smell of killing, rottenness and death! Master... Master, have you gone to the sewers to cause trouble for those rat men?"

"Your nose is surprisingly sensitive."

Zuo Si raised his head and stared at the girl standing in front of him.

Although he had long known that werewolves had the same amazing sense of smell as canines, he never expected that the other party could smell the scent emanating from his body from such a distance.

And still without transformation.

No wonder the book "Common Monsters in the Wild" evaluates werewolves as the top monsters that adventurers and travelers are least willing to encounter.

Because once you are targeted by them, it often means that you cannot escape no matter how you run.

Victims are often exhausted from the long chase and eventually torn to pieces by the werewolf.

"It's not my nose, but the smell of blood on your body is too strong. How many damn rat-men did you kill tonight? Ten, twenty? Fifty?"

The werewolf girl stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, her eyes showing strong hatred and bloodlust.

She will never forget who destroyed her clan and killed her parents and elders.

If possible, Vangus even hopes to join the hunt himself, tearing out the throats of those despicable ratmen with his sharp teeth and digging out their hearts with his sharp claws.

"More than three hundred! The master killed more than three hundred ratmen tonight, and also helped Epke capture their leader alive." The soldier took the initiative to give the answer.

"What?!"

The werewolf girl seemed unable to believe what her ears were hearing.

She had seen with her own eyes how terrifying these crazy rat men were, and they charged like a never-ending black tide.

No matter how many are killed, there will always be a steady stream of more Skaven behind.

Otherwise, with the combat power of an adult werewolf, even if the opponent has silver-plated weapons, how could he possibly be killed all of them.

"That's right! The enemies who destroyed your family are already dead and running away. Even their leader has become a prisoner locked in a torture chamber and subjected to various tortures.

So from now on, you no longer have to think about how to take revenge.

Enjoy your new life.

Don't always immerse yourself in hatred, it will not do any good to your growth. "

After saying this, Zuo Si stretched out without any image, and then walked upstairs.

The werewolf girl was left standing there stunned.

The soldier walked straight to the counter, woke up the dozing waiter, and asked him to prepare a large bucket of bath water immediately.

After taking a shower and having a simple breakfast, Zuo Si quickly lay on the bed and fell asleep.

This night, he slept very soundly.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that I opened my eyes and woke up.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window and the endlessly noisy streets, Zuo Si gently rubbed his dry eyes and asked without looking back, "How long have I slept?"

"Nine hours." The soldier immediately handed him a glass of water.

As a loyal summoned creature, he has learned a lot about his master's living habits through these days of getting along with him. For example, the first thing he does after waking up from bed is to drink a large glass of water, so he is ready early.

"Thanks!"

Zuo Si took it without saying anything, raised his head and drank it all.

Since there is only such a humanoid summoned creature on hand at the moment, he uses it more often as a servant or guard rather than as a combat unit.

"Master. While you were resting, Chief Apke sent eight money orders from the Temple of the Goddess of Fortune with a face value of 1,000 gold coins."

As he spoke, the soldier took out a few pieces of special paper from his pocket. The shape and pattern looked a bit like banknotes in modern society.

Each of these money orders bears the profile of the goddess Watkin.

It is not only a symbol of the goddess's authority in the field of trade and wealth, but also an anti-counterfeiting mark.

Any priest of the Goddess of Fortune can tell by this mark whether the bill has been forged by some magical means.

The most important thing is that no matter in any corner of Faerûn, as long as there is a temple of the Goddess of Wealth, you can use this note to exchange for a corresponding amount of gold coins without paying any additional fees.

"A money order for 8,000 gold coins? The leader of the Thieves Guild was surprisingly generous." Zuo Si picked up one of the money orders and stood in the sun and looked at it carefully.

He originally thought that the fat bald man could give him around 4,000 to 5,000 gold coins and that would be enough.

After all, this price can already hire a team of adventurers with quite good level and experience.

But who would have thought that he would be given 8,000 in one lump sum, and it would be an easy-to-carry note.

"I think he wants to continue to rely on your power, Master, to win the upcoming Calim Port Guild War. In addition, Ms. Aisha also came to you at noon and hoped that you would immediately wake up. To her mage tower.”

The soldier told them what happened during the day.

"Oh, has the magic item merchant prepared the materials?"

As soon as he heard that the sorceress came to him, Zuo Si's sleepiness immediately disappeared, and his whole person instantly became energetic.

Compared to "making extra money" by working with the leader of the Thieves Guild, he obviously values ​​Elsa who owns the mage tower more.

the reason is simple!

The amount of wool that the latter can harvest is simply not comparable to that of the former.

And compared to pure money, knowledge and power are what Zuo Si desires most at the moment.

Because without power, no matter how much wealth you have, you are just a fat pig kept in a pen.

Just look at Bernard.

As the heir to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, he was one of the most successful young businessmen in Amn. He obviously controlled an astonishing wealth, but he almost lost everything to a pirate ship.

Similarly, Captain Hallett of "Bloody Hand" is also a well-known figure at sea, and he has plundered countless wealth over the years.

But in the end, it was not necessary to bleed a lot to pay the ransom.

Therefore, in Faerûn, a country full of dangers and conspiracies, both power and wealth are all illusory.

Only strength is the foundation and guarantee of everything!
