Broad World
Chapter 410 Balance and System
Henry has been dawdling with the two knights at the entrance of the temple for 20 minutes, but in the end he failed to see them turning their faces and chasing them away. I have to say that the etiquette and endurance of these guys are really impeccable, and they don't even show a trace of disgust. He could only bow slightly with regret to express his gratitude, and then went straight back to Eratan's house.
As soon as I walked in the gate, the dogs in the yard started barking, and it didn't take long for everyone to quarrel. Korgan rushed out with an ax in his pajamas, but he saw Henry within a few steps, and at the same time a pungent stench hit his face. He couldn't help pinching his nose and cursing loudly: "Oh! Damn! Did you fall into the cesspit?"
"I can't help it. I wandered in the sewer for most of the night, and it's inevitable that I got some unclean things." Henry shrugged helplessly. He couldn't help but want to vomit at first, but he got used to it after a long time. To be honest, human beings really deserve to be one of the most adaptable species in the world, and they can actually block such a disgusting smell in such a short period of time.
At this time, Viconia also came out from the door, frowning and asked, "No wonder all the dogs are barking. It stinks to death. Aren't you reading the scrolls of Netheril? How did you end up in the sewer?"
Henry sighed slightly and explained: "You think I'm willing to go into the stinky sewer? I'm not preparing for the next target, the demilich. Its name is Kangus, and it is currently in a sealed state. But don't worry, I've already solved this problem. It's getting late, everyone, go back to sleep, and tomorrow morning you will temporarily add exorcism to your weapons. Otherwise, you won't be able to cause any harm to the demilich at all."
"Okay. But I suggest you take a shower right away. Otherwise, the whole house will be filled with this pungent smell in a short time." Viconia said with a playful smile, turned and walked into the house. She obviously didn't care what happened, but just wanted to take the opportunity to see Henry's embarrassment.
"I also think it's time for you to take a bath. You must know that the smell is really not ordinary. I'm afraid these dogs will not be quiet until they are cleaned." The dwarf warrior returned to his room with a yawn after finishing speaking.
Looking at the faces of the servants who were holding their breath, Henry smiled wryly and shook his head, mocking himself, "As you wish, go take a shower right away. Fei De, come out, I know you must be nearby."
The voice just fell. Fei De came out of the shadows quietly. She asked in disbelief, "My stealth skills are absolutely fine, how did you find out?"
"Discovered? No, no, no, I guessed. Such a loud barking, even a slow-responsive guy like Korgan woke up. As an alert assassin, there is no way you are still asleep. But still I really didn't expect that you jumped from the window on the second floor."
Speaking of this, Henry looked up and down this demon-born elf who usually seemed cautious. I really didn't realize that her reaction at certain times was really crazy enough. You must know that the second floor here is not a low residential building on the earth. The first floor is at least six to eight meters long. Coupled with wearing pajamas and bare feet, ordinary people may break their legs.
Feder shook his tail with a sudden realization expression on his face. "Oh. I see. Your brain is really good. You are really a smart mage. Since I have nothing to do, I will go to bed, good night."
After she finished speaking, she followed the carvings on the outer wall like a gecko, and climbed up to the window sill on the second floor in a few strokes.
The servant standing in the yard was stunned. They were all thinking in their hearts: Who are the guests invited by these masters? They are dark elves and rude dwarves. Burglary practice out of it.
Normally, a nobleman of Henry's level should hold banquets frequently to get closer to other nobles and big businessmen. Not to mention that people who enter and leave the mansion are all celebrities, at least they must know basic etiquette. But now it is good, it has directly become the base camp of the adventure team. Don't talk about etiquette, these guys use their hands directly when they eat.
But Henry himself didn't care about it. Anyway, with his current status, he doesn't need to get too involved with the local nobles. After all, a legendary spellcaster, a duke, a dragon slayer, the most senior member of a masked mage, and the master of half of the underground forces behind the scenes, no matter which one of these identities are taken out, they can hold the scene. .
If he really actively communicates with each other like ordinary nobles, I am afraid that those in the Council of Six will not even be able to sleep soundly. You must know that the contact between nobles generally means private alliances, which is a political force that cannot be underestimated. Once the scale is formed, it is not impossible to overthrow the current regime, especially now that Amn's system is a bit like the embryonic stage of capitalism, which has a bit of impact on the traditional farming nobles, so it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction and troubles.
There was a scene where sheep cannibalize people in Britain on earth. The nobles drove away all the farmers and tenants on the land, planted grass and started raising sheep, in order to obtain more income. The current state of Amn is similar. Countless nobles have seen the benefits of trade and want to change the business model of their territories.
However, the farmers in Faerun Continent are much better than those on Earth. Although they have no power to fight back against monsters, they will definitely organize armed riots against nobles, and they will also seek help from adventurers, paladins, rangers, and priests of good gods. In short, no one can touch Lao Tzu's land . It can be said that the reason why the developed regions in the south are still maintaining the backward tenancy system is all thanks to these armed troublemakers, and of course the meddling adventurers and paladins.
If it weren't for them to hold back, maybe we would have entered a capitalist society long ago. After all, this is the only place in the entire continent where the business environment is the most developed, and after such a long period of accumulation, as long as the six-member council can be ruthless, Amn's superior geographical location will definitely become the most powerful country in the western continent.
But it is a pity that the Council is best at playing balance and peace. The three main gods enshrined in the temple area are the best embodiment, Talos, the God of Storms (evil camp), Heim, the God of Guardians (neutral camp), Lord of Dawn Losander (good camp), it can be said that no matter which one is missing, the other two will have to fight, but the three together form a good mutual restraint, so that the temple has a strong strength but can only Trapped in such a small place and dare not leave.
In addition, they also entrusted the Knights of the Heart of Heat to deal with the conflicts between nobles and commoners. Everyone knows that paladins are the embodiment of order and kindness. Generally, when performing such tasks, they can only adjust as much as possible. I advise both parties to take a step back. Because noble lords represent order, while oppressed civilians represent goodness, no matter which side the paladin falls on, it means that it may lead to corruption.
Henry dared to bet that the council did this on purpose, not only to ensure that there would be no major disturbances, but also to limit the strength of the knight order. You must know that every year, many newcomers drive themselves crazy because of performing this kind of task, and finally choose to degenerate without hesitation. Fallen paladins are a potential threat to some extent, so the Knights need to disperse a large number of people to solve these troubles.
The above practices can be described as interlocking and closely linked to form a system of mutual restraint. Although the relative stability was guaranteed, more than half of the power was basically lost in the internal friction. Even so, this country still looks very powerful on the surface, at least much stronger than the Baldur's Gate area in the north.
That's why Henry worked so hard to make Amn mess up. Sufficient money, ample population, the Masked Mage Guild, the Shadow Thieves Guild, and the Knights' Order can be said to be basically everything. As long as there is a strong leader, the country will be turned upside down immediately.
He would never allow such a strong neighbor to appear around his territory, so a moderate weakening became a very good choice. After all, Tethyr in the south also needs to be on guard, so after the civil strife in Amn, it can be properly intervened to transform it into a vassal state that relies heavily on the north economically and militarily.
Almost all powerful countries on the earth do this, and Henry is also learning and selling. Just when he was lying in the bathtub and quietly thinking about how to make Nalia into a glorious shit stirrer, uh, no, it should be called a reformer, suddenly the door of the bathroom was opened.
A slender figure slowly emerged from the hazy mist, and it turned out to be Viconia. I saw her deliberately slowing down, taking off her silk nightgown with (tempting) movements as she walked, and asking with a smile on her face: "I think you haven't come out after washing here for a long time, it's a kind of silent Is your invitation right?"
"Of course, it's my honor to be able to bathe with a charming lady." Henry stood up and gave a slight salute, and his little brother also stood up to salute.
Seeing this action, Viconia couldn't help but sneered: "Haha! What a sweet talk, but I'm not just here to take a bath."
"I'm also ready for other aspects, as long as you give an order, I can start at any time." Henry leaned over after finishing speaking.
The two kissed each other first, and then began to caress each other's sensitive parts, and at the same time, their bodies began to rub against each other. A few minutes later, Viconia said out of breath, "I'm already on fire, what are you waiting for, let's get to the point. I promised you can take the initiative today, whatever you want Anything goes."
Henry lightly licked the pointed ears of the black beauty in his arms and whispered, "As you wish! My lady!" Immediately after, he pushed hard behind his back, and the little brother finally entered the warm and humid cave. The strong stimulation made Viconia let out a high-pitched (moan) moan, and then the two collided fiercely, and there was a "pop" sound caused by skin impact.
