Chapter 361: “Wealthy enough to rival a country” is an insult (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



Shane VII generously shared several legendary spells that he had researched for many years.

Including the [Demi-Lich Body] he was using, which was to wrap the remaining body of the Demi-Lich with the flesh and organs of a normal person, and even simulate heartbeat and breathing, and eat and excrete, but it retained many characteristics and immunity of the undead lich;

There was also the [Dragon's Curse] that was released when dealing with Ivyklathagra's "Sharp Teeth" before; as well as the famous necromancy magic [Soul Collapse Singularity] and a super transformation spell called [Nail into the Sky].

Especially [Nail into the Sky], Zuo Si thinks it would be more appropriate to call it [Satellite Launch Technique] or [Sun Feeding Technique].

Because the spell effect of this thing is to drop a target directly into the vacuum environment of outer space orbit.

If it were a living thing, it would not only have to endure the ultra-low temperature of minus 270 degrees Celsius, but also have no air to breathe. In the end, it would either freeze to death or suffocate to death.

If you are unlucky enough to be thrown directly into the sun, you will be evaporated in minutes, and not even the ashes will be left.

Anyway, no matter how you die, it will definitely not be a pleasant experience.

Of course, in addition to throwing creatures into space or the sun to kill them, this spell has another use, which is to launch artificial satellites.

Although the native gods or legendary spellcasters of the continent of Faerun have no idea what an artificial satellite is.

But Zuo Si knew very well that after mastering this spell, he would be able to let those top scientists who had studied magic begin to develop satellites powered by pure magical power and then launch them into low-Earth orbit.

It not only solves the problem of large-scale long-distance communication, but also expands the control range of the mastermind Isadora.

By then, by building a few more ground receiving stations and signal amplifiers, we will be able to truly project psychic signals to every corner of a continent or even a planet.

As for the most famous [Soul Collapse Singularity] of the Undead System, it is equally terrifying.

It activates a [Black Hole of Destruction] as a spell material, directly creating a conduit out of thin air, connecting the current material world with a plane filled with astonishing negative energy. At the same time, it continuously draws negative energy from the surrounding magic net and shadow magic net, and launches an indiscriminate massacre of creatures within a radius of 1,600 meters.

From start to finish, the total amount of damage done is about a thousand levels (that is, HD life dice).

What is the concept of this?

Even for a legendary dragon king like Ivyklathasagran "Sharptooth", the highest real occupation level brought by the dragon's age group is only fifty-six.

This means that if she is close enough to the central singularity where the spell is cast, and does not have an [Anti-Death Barrier] or other instant teleportation magic, there is a high probability that she will be corroded by the whistling negative energy and die quickly.

If used to kill high-level warriors like Jarlaxle, Entreri, and Drizzt who are only one step away from becoming legends, it can kill about fifty-five of them.

If it were adventurers with a professional level of around LV5, a conservative estimate would be two hundred deaths.

For ordinary soldiers and civilians without professional grades, the basic unit for calculation is thousands.

It can be said that among the many legendary magics, [Soul Collapse Singularity] is also one of the most lethal and terrifying types.

Of course, the prerequisites for learning are also very harsh. The research requirements for spell identification and the basic theory of negative energy are extremely high, and a deep understanding of the field of killing is also required.

If you don't have a spellcasting level of LV35 or above, don't expect to learn it.

In addition, the production process of [Black Hole of Destruction], a material necessary for casting spells, is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will go out of control and suck in people and everything around it.

However, although the [Spirit Collapse Singularity] is incredibly powerful, it has three most fatal flaws.

One of them is that the energy attribute is single, and it is easy to be restrained by the fourth ring [Anti-Death Barrier], and the spell damage is not produced all at once, but will continue to spread with the negative energy overflowing from the duct.

This means that as long as you don't die immediately, you can use instant teleportation spells or magic scrolls and props to escape.

The second fatal flaw is that the casting time is too long. It requires one to maintain full one minute of concentration during the casting. During this period, one must not be disturbed by anything, let alone be distracted to deal with enemy attacks.

This is absolutely fatal in a battle with a legendary wizard.

Taking the previous battle as an example, it didn't even take Ivyklathagra's "Sharp Teeth" a minute to strip off all the protective magic shields from Shane VII. Ten seconds at most was enough, and one minute was enough for several deaths.

The third point is that this spell does not distinguish between friend and foe, and its range is less than a hundred meters.

This is just like the weird nuclear weapons that the two world hegemons developed during the Cold War, whose killing range was even greater than their range.

Unless it is an undead creature that is completely immune to negative energy, such as a lich, dracolich, or vampire, anyone else who uses this spell must prepare an instantaneous teleportation magic, or set the conditions in advance to use [Accidental Magic] to bind a teleportation magic.

And if the enemy uses [Dimension Anchor] on you at this time, it would be really fun.

The reason why Shane VII did not use the [Soul Collapse Singularity] to kill Ivyklathasagran "Sharp Teeth" at that time was that, on the one hand, he did not want this enemy to die too easily and wanted to let the other party taste enough pain before dying. On the other hand, he was afraid that it would affect Zuo Si and Davian who fought alongside him.

In return, Zuo Si also shared some magical knowledge and systems from other worlds, which instantly opened the eyes of the Undead Emperor and even made him more convinced that his decision to use his life box in exchange for a spark to become a planeswalker was the right one.

If he didn't have to conquer all of Calimshan and Tethyr to restore the glory of the empire, he would have wanted to drop everything immediately and go see the huge floating city in another world, see the wizards who could produce all kinds of spells with just a wave of their wands, and appreciate Zendikar overflowing with magical energy and the world-destroying monsters called the Eldrazi Titans.

An endless world, unprecedented civilizations, all kinds of knowledge and fantastic ideas that cannot be described in words, and all kinds of bizarre creatures that cannot be measured by common sense...

It can be said that everything a mage desires is condensed in that tiny spark.

Most importantly, Shane VII felt with great realism that countless worlds and universes had opened up a gap to him! Although this gap was so narrow, it was 10,000 times wider than the planes he knew, and was filled with infinite possibilities.

But at the same time, he had never been as anxious and worried as he was at this moment, fearing that this rift would suddenly close forever.

spark!

spark!

spark!

Shane VII's mind was now filled with the ball of light that was about to emerge from Zuo Si's chest. From time to time, he would imagine which unknown world he should start exploring after he obtained the spark and became a planeswalker.

You should know that under normal circumstances, the most notable characteristic of a lich is that it almost never has strong emotional fluctuations and is always in an absolutely rational and calm state.

But now, he felt as if he was alive again, his heart filled with the ambition and passion of his youth.

In order to quickly restore the glory of the Shane Empire, the Undead Emperor dealt with all the elements involved in the rebellion in less than a few days. More than 80% of the nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners in the entire Kalin Port and the surrounding areas were purged, and the thieves' guilds and gang forces that were originally everywhere were completely wiped out.

With the emperor's special permission and the help of the army, Apke unified the underground world with almost no effort.

However, the previous businesses such as collecting protection fees, kidnapping and extortion, smuggling of contraband, and human trafficking are definitely no longer possible.

Fortunately, he had a quick mind and quickly integrated brothels, taverns, hotels, casinos, theaters and other places that originally belonged to other thieves' guilds, intending to use them as a foundation to vigorously develop the leisure and entertainment industry.

Moreover, these business locations are also very suitable for collecting intelligence, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, Apke also obtained the franchise rights to a portion of the port terminal and had a large warehouse that could be used to store various goods, truly realizing his childhood dream of being able to do business in both the black and white worlds.

In addition, as the huge wealth obtained from the confiscation of property was counted out, the city defense forces and the imperial guards also received the rewards they had been promised. Each of them received a salary that was almost equivalent to ten years of service, and they all shouted in ecstasy, "Long live the emperor."

What’s even more interesting is that when it came time to distribute the women, they were surprised to find that they didn’t even have to draw a lottery.

Because the number of wives, sisters, daughters and concubines of the nobles, wealthy merchants and slave owners combined far exceeded the total number of the city defense army and the imperial guards combined...

Yes!

You read that right!

This means that if everyone gets one, there will be some left over.

In addition, Shane VII was a half-lich and had no interest in forcibly possessing and conquering his enemies' wives, daughters, and sisters, let alone any physiological needs in this regard, so he distributed them all as prizes with a wave of his hand.

Officers and officials in power are selected first, and the rest are selected by ordinary soldiers.

However, ordinary soldiers had no objection to this.

After all, this is not a modern society on Earth that advocates equality for all (at least on the surface), but a feudal society with a strict hierarchical system, and even slavery had just been abolished.

But the most important thing is that these women are all very beautiful without exception, with outstanding figures and looks. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to be noticed by the upper ruling class. Even those who were selected were far beyond the limits of what ordinary soldiers could imagine.

In the past, they would not even dare to think about or touch such beauties.

But now, with the end of an operation to suppress the rebellion, happiness suddenly came.

All of a sudden, the two armies, which were notorious for participating in many coups in Calimshan's history, actually developed a strong admiration and loyalty to King Shane VII.

Because the previous emperors treated them as toilet paper, and would often promise them benefits crazily when they needed them, but in the end they would be considered lucky if they could fulfill one tenth of the promises.

But what about this legitimate emperor of the ancient Shan Empire? He came right up and offered the ultimate move, giving as much as he said, without any discounts.

If such a monarch is not worthy of loyalty, then there is no one in the world worthy of loyalty.

On the other hand, the process of transforming liberated slaves into free people was also progressing very smoothly.

With the help of the three churches of the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, and the God of Loyalty and Courage, the slaves were quickly divided into several major categories based on their skills and cultural level.

Those high-level slaves who were literate and knew how to manage were directly transformed on the spot into low-level officials, responsible for operating the workshops, manors and villages that they had previously managed.

If you do a good job, you will be promoted; if you do a bad job, you will be laid off or even punished, which quickly fills the huge gap of lack of grassroots management personnel.

Slaves who mastered handicraft skills such as carpentry, blacksmithing, oil pressing, sugar making, weaving, wine making, glass and pottery making, etc. were arranged in corresponding workshops to continue to engage in production in the fields they were familiar with.

The largest number of slaves were engaged in agricultural production. Some were allocated their own fields, some were hired by the government to raise poultry and livestock, and some were given plantations of cash crops such as apples, oranges, lemons, tobacco, olives, grapes, flax, and cotton.

Of course, means of production such as land cannot be given away for free.

All slaves acquired were required to pay an additional amount of money every year in addition to the fixed taxes, and it would take ten to twenty years for the land to truly become their own private property.

But even so, the slaves who obtained the land were still moved to tears with excitement.

Because compared to the previous days when they were on the same level as livestock, their new life now is like heaven.

Looking at those people who had just been allocated land, who were working in the wheat fields with farm tools in sweat, not caring about the scorching sun above their heads, but whose faces were filled with happiness and expectation, a thin old man walking on the country road wearing only a loin cloth slowly revealed a gratified smile.

"That's right! This is the world I expect to see, a country full of order and hope, where the weak will be protected."

A bearded man next to him, who only had one hand left and one eye blind, but looked very tall and mighty and was wearing armor, nodded approvingly: "Yes! This is what a normal world should look like.

Before, Kalinshan was like a patient with pus-soaked sores all over his body, full of pain and torture.

But now it is well, and it is bathed in order, law, and kindness again.”

“More than that! By abolishing slavery, hope and courage were rekindled in the hearts of these people who had previously been numb and resigned to their fate.

I think this is the most important thing.

However, there is one thing I don’t quite understand, that is, why did Sean VII, who was originally a staunch supporter of slavery, suddenly change his mind?

Will he suddenly declare slavery legal again after a while?"

Another young warrior, who exuded bravery and composure, couldn't help but question.

It goes without saying that these three are not mortals at all, but Ilmater, the god of suffering, Tyr, the god of justice, and Torm, the body of loyalty and courage, who have descended in the form of incarnations.

The main reason they appeared here was because they wanted to witness this historic change with their own eyes and to ensure that no gods from other evil camps were secretly interfering.

Especially in the area of ​​Calimshan, there is a widespread faith base for the goddess of night Shar and the prince of lies Cyric.

You must know that in this drastic change, the ones who died the most were the believers and church members of these two evil gods, so there is no guarantee that they will not take some retaliatory actions.

fortunately!

The worst fears of Tyr, Ilmater, and Torm did not come to pass.

Because Xirik is currently busy making the artifact "Xirik Sutra", he has no time and energy to take care of other things.

Shar is capable of some conspiracies, but she has always been cautious and would never jump out alone to face the Three Saints Alliance.

The only ones who caused some chaos were the fanatical followers of the late god of murder, Baal.

I don’t know if they are crazy or mentally ill, but these guys actually tried to assassinate King Sean VII and some high-ranking officials.

As expected, the soul was directly pulled out of the body by the demilich and forcibly imprisoned in a special soul gem, and was eventually digested and absorbed to provide additional energy for the former.

Ilmater smiled and explained, “This is all thanks to Soth.

It was he who persuaded King Sean VII to abolish slavery in exchange for our support for his legitimacy.

As for whether the former will suddenly regret it afterwards, you don’t need to worry at all.

Because Shane VII's last wish was to restore the former glory of the empire.

Once this goal is achieved, he will choose to give up power and hand over the country to Soth through marriage.

One of Soth's greatest characteristics is that he hates slavery and will provide the lower-class civilians with the most basic survival guarantees, which can be seen from his actions in Luskan.

What's more, our church now has the power to enforce the law, which is the most obvious signal.

Remember, we also gained the same authority over the local church after Luskan was conquered and transformed."

"Ah! Now that you mention it, I remember. I have a paladin believer named Kaidong who is in Luskan right now. Although he has not been able to train paladins as he wished, he has trained a large number of qualified law enforcement officers." A golden holy light flashed in Tom's eyes.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Although Soth himself is not inclined towards kindness, he is inclined towards order and does not like disorder and chaos.

And perhaps due to his previous upbringing and living environment, his attitude towards civilians, especially human civilians, is far more merciful than that of the rulers of most countries.

At the same time, they also possess a lot of knowledge that can increase food production, improve the variety of goods, and make a country more prosperous.

Most importantly, South is well aware of the important and indispensable role of law, order, fairness and morality at the social level.

Even if he does not fully agree with our doctrines, he is willing to cooperate and give us certain law enforcement powers so that the entire society can maintain an orderly, neutral, or even slightly kind state.

Although this is still a little short of our ideal perfect state of lawful goodness, if we look at it from the perspective of the entire world, it is undoubtedly a huge progress.

So I think we can have more collaborations like this one in the future.

Especially for those areas that are still wild, chaotic and full of crime, it is better to let Thoth rule them rather than letting the people there continue to be corrupt and degenerate.

I admit that some of his methods do seem like those of a cold-blooded tyrant.

In particular, the tremendous suffering endured by the poor at the bottom has been alleviated to a great extent.

Maybe he is not the best choice, but he is the one we can find that is most likely to bring positive changes to this continent. "

Ilmater expressed his thoughts in front of his two allies.

As the second god in the entire continent of Faerun to notice Zuo Si's existence after Talona, ​​he spent a lot of time observing this young man who came from another dimension, both in his thoughts and behavior, and finally made such a judgment.

正义之神提尔听到这番话,瞬间陷入了深深的沉思,大概两三分钟之后才开口回应道:“伱说的有道理,我会让教会尝试着跟索斯多展开一些合作。

但关于支持他向外扩张势力这件事情,还是再观察一段时间吧。

别忘了,他在受到威胁的时候可是个对诸神没有半点敬畏之心的疯子。

甚至敢在万神殿用奥札奇这种可怕的灭世怪物来作为恐吓的筹码。”

“哈哈哈哈!我倒是觉得这个年轻人很有勇气!要知道在费伦大陆上,敢直接当面质问众神、威胁众神的凡人,他可是唯一的一个。”托姆忍不住大笑起来。

他永远也不会忘记,当左思解释完奥札奇究竟是什么东西之后,万神殿内瞬间静音的壮观场面。

要知道即便是当年神上之神艾欧降临,宣布要将众神打落凡间以唯一圣者的姿态行走于凡间,诸神都没有选择沉默,至少几个强大神力都站出来进行了争辩。

其中正义之神提尔和二代魔法女神的反应尤其激烈。

可左思却以远比神明弱小的凡人之躯,塑造了一个连神上之神艾欧都没能做到的名场面。

无所畏惧以弱小挑战强大,这正是忠诚与勇气之身托姆最为欣赏的品格。

就在三位神明的化身一边欣赏解放奴隶后的美妙景象,一边探讨如何才能让秩序与善良的光辉笼罩更多的地方时,远在卡林港皇宫内一处偏殿内,左思正在查看杰弗里送来的一张清单。

至于内容也非常简单,就是艾薇柯拉撒格兰“锐齿”巢穴内的宝藏。

不得不说,这位在卡林杉、泰瑟尔和安姆收了好几百年税的传奇龙王,家底实在是太丰厚了,丰厚到“富可敌国”这个词用在她身上都是一种侮辱而非赞扬。

光是各类宝石的数量就足以填满一口直径七米以上、深度超过五十米的井。

是的!

你没看错!

就是填满一口井!

至于金币的数量更是无法在短时间内完成清点,只能大概进行称重。

再算上其他一些融掉的金条、金砖,总计为两千五百吨。

当然,由于不同时代、不同国家的金币含金量不一样,所以这个数字可能要打个对折。

但那也是一千两百五十多吨啊!

换算成安姆金币的话,起码也有两亿五千多万枚。

不过其中真正的金币占比并不算高,反倒是像镀金的穹顶、陪葬小金人、远古时代创造者种族遗留下来镶满宝石的纯金柱子等这类东西更多一些。

除此之外,在巢穴内还找到了整整一百块制作好的护命宝石;

六箱超过一千瓶超喷吐魔法药剂; 七十多本可能是屠龙勇士死后遗留下来的法术书; 四十五根存储不同法术的魔杖; 六百七十多张各类奥术和神术卷轴; 数不清的秘银、精金、寒铁、炼银等稀有魔法金属; 大概十几件巨龙专属的魔法装备和上百件带有附魔等级的武器、铠甲、戒指、护身符等等。

至于最后,还有大量的雕塑、绘画、工艺品、古董,出自名家的手工编织挂毯和家具。

由于巨龙天生就能欣赏各种各样不同的“美”,所以他们在判断艺术品、工艺品的价值方面堪比行业内最顶尖的大师。

从头到尾将清单扫了一遍之后,左思不由得微微感叹道:“艾薇柯拉撒格兰巢穴里的宝藏还真是惊人呢,难怪她总是对自己的实力充满信心,甚至完全不畏惧以一敌多。”

杰弗里深以为然的点了点头:“是啊!我当初第一眼看到的时候,甚至以为自己看到的是幻术魔法营造出来的假象。我敢打赌,卡林大沙漠中不少巨灵帝国时期的古墓都被锐齿给挖了,不然光靠税收肯定积攒不了如此庞大惊人的财富。”

“可现在这些财富都便宜我们了。说实话,我始终都没搞懂巨龙为什么如此热衷于囤积财富。难道他们不明白,自己的财富积累越多就越容易引来窥探吗?而且一旦死亡,所有的财富都会落入仇敌手中。对了,你这次带人去扫荡龙巢没有遇到什么麻烦把?”

左思一边摆弄着手中那枚【阿卡巴尔的战刃指环】,一边随口询问道。

不用问也知道,这个指环就是从众多财宝中特意挑选出来的,也被称之为【奇萨利戒指】。

它与普通的魔法戒指不太一样,是个可以通过特定口令激活,然后从手指飞下来变成一圈剑刃的魔法道具。

效果有点类似于六环神术——【剑刃护壁】,可以对靠近的敌人造成类似千刀万剐一样的恐怖物理伤害。

据说第一个发明并拥有该魔法戒指的人,就是夏恩帝国的缔造者——老阿卡巴·夏恩。

后来这种技艺只在夏恩皇室中流传,并且制造了十几枚之多。

像这种战刃指环最大的特点和好处其实跟储法戒指一样,那就是装备上之后无需让它时刻处于激活状态,而是在需要的时候切换过去再激活就可以。

如果拿到市场上出售的话,至少要二十万金币起步。

不过左思显然并不缺钱,反倒是对老阿卡巴·夏恩产生了强烈的兴趣。

尽管在很多书籍和学者的描述中,这位开国君主都是个卑鄙、无耻、阴险、狡诈的邪恶之徒,就连自己的子孙后代都要算计,为了获得更大的权力不择手段。

可他却认为对方不管是在治理国家还是在魔法研究领域都拥有极高的才华。

别的不说,光是从【阿卡巴尔的战刃指环】所使用的各种技术和附魔就能看得出来,老阿卡巴·夏恩拥有天马行空般的想象力,以及对于变化系深刻的理解。

只可惜,这位传奇人物已经死了太久,以至于连想要将其复活都变得极为困难。

不过杰弗里显然并不知道此刻左思在想什么,自顾自的苦笑着回应道:“何止是困难,最开始的时候我们差点都没能找到入口。

艾薇柯拉撒格兰这个家伙,竟然在自己的巢穴附近布置了类似结界、迷锁一样的防护,并且设置了十几道传送门,还在必经之路上放了一个风巨灵贵族和一个火巨灵贵族。

光是破解结界和那些不知道通往其他什么地方的传送门,我就花费了整整七天时间,最后还带着人跟两个巨灵打了一架。

幸亏有三个核心成员在接到求助信号后及时赶过来,不然的话我还真不一定能打得过他们。

但好处是,经过这次战斗,我们成功抓捕到了两个拥有许愿术的巨灵贵族。”

说罢,杰弗里又从随身携带的腰包内取出两个颜色截然不同的封魔瓶。

其中一个呈现出红色,并且看着里边像是着火了一样,散发出赤红色的光芒,一看就知道是关押的火巨灵贵族。

另外一个则呈现出青蓝色,并且隐约能听到气流高速旋转发出的呜呜声,无疑是关押着风巨灵贵族。

要知道巨灵贵族跟普通巨灵可不太一样,不仅拥有更强的生命力和魔法能力,同时各项基础属性也远超同类。

尤其是眼下这两个,能被锐齿当做是看守老巢的卫兵,而且还能让杰弗里吃尽苦头,需要四个核心成员联手才能搞定,八成应该是传奇生物。

左思接过来大概感受了一下强度,二话不说便将其制作成两张宝物牌,然后又将瓶子具象化出来交给对方:“把这两个瓶子带回去吧,一个送到浮空城去,另外一个留在法师塔里。

如果有谁需要用到许愿术,就可以打开瓶子召唤巨灵。

至于具体究竟怎么分配,你们自己商量指定一个规矩,反正一天三次许愿最好不要浪费。”

“都给我们使用?难道您自己就不留一个吗?”

杰弗里一脸吃惊的瞪大了眼睛。

毕竟真正的许愿术可是要支付最少两万五千金币的施法材料。

如果是特殊的许愿或模拟某种法术,还需要在额外增加预算。

除此之外,使用许愿术对身体负担极大,以大部分法师那点可怜的体质属性,起码要在床上躺几天才能恢复,说不定还会永久性的损失一部分魔力。

所以除非万不得已,又或者只有许愿术才能达成目的,否则掌握九环魔法的法师术士们是不会轻易使用的。

但巨灵赋予的许愿术不同,这玩意可是无需支付任何代价,真真正正的“白嫖”。

没有任何人可以拒绝这种白嫖的强大许愿力量。

在杰弗里看来,像这种好东西身为组织首领的左思应该直接全拿走才合理,怎么会反而全部放弃交给手下使用。

But just a second later, he understood the reason.

Because five demon-sealing bottles suddenly appeared out of thin air on the table in front of him, each containing a fire giant.

Not only that, Zuo Si also took out a magic ring that could summon fire giants——[Controlled by Omar V]

When Jeffrey saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Where did you get so many props that can summon fire giants? Is it true that in the Calimshan region, as those adventurers said, as long as you find an ancient tomb, you can dig out the magic bottle or magic lamp that seals the giant?"

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, you think too much.

Even if Calimshan originally had so many magic bottles or magic lamps that sealed the giants, there would not be much left after thousands of years of consumption.

You know, most giants will not obey a mortal.

They usually demand three wishes in exchange for freedom, otherwise they will not grant the ability to make wishes.

Unless they encounter a powerful spellcaster who has the ability to kill them, they will choose to obey.

I got these magic bottles that seal the fire giants from a trade with another legendary wizard, and the ring is a trophy. "

"Well, it seems that you really don't need these two giant nobles."

Jeffrey sighed with a wry smile and carefully put the bottle back into his waist bag.

He really couldn't believe that the Wishing Djinn, which was as valuable as a legendary magic item or even a sub-artifact in the eyes of most high-level wizards, could actually be sold wholesale from the leader of the organization.

Even the sense of accomplishment and joy that came from capturing the two giant nobles disappeared at this moment, leaving only deep admiration.

After all, with six fire giants, they can make eighteen wishes for free in a day, which means five hundred and forty wishes in a month and six thousand five hundred and seventy wishes in a year.

If used to create wealth, based on the calculation that each wish can create non-magical items worth 25,000 gold coins, the total value of the items is 164.25 million gold coins.

At this moment, Jeffrey finally realized why Ivyklathagra "Sharptooth" possessed such a huge fortune and so many gems and magical items.

It's not that she's levying heavy taxes in Amn, Calimshan, and Tethyr, but that she can obtain nine wishes from three djinn every day.

Although a large amount of energy is consumed when making high-level magic items or even artifacts, the amount accumulated over the years is still a terrifying astronomical figure.

No wonder there is a saying among mages and warlocks that no matter how powerful a divine weapon is, it may not be as practical as a fire giant who can get three free wishes every day.

Unfortunately, catching the fire giant is not an easy task.

After a brief silence, Jeffrey quickly took out an exquisite envelope with a faint scent of perfume from his arms and gently placed it on the table.

"What's this?"

Zuo Si rubbed his nose subconsciously.

Ever since he acquired the dragon form, his sense of smell has surpassed that of most canine creatures, and he immediately felt that the smell seemed somewhat familiar.

Jeffrey answered without hesitation, "This is a diplomatic letter sent by an envoy. The Supreme Lady of the Silver Moon Alliance, Alustriel Silverhand, and the Golden Dragon Queen, Valamaradace, want to visit Luskan and convene a general meeting of the Northern Lords' Alliance there. Both Waterdeep and Neverwinter will send representatives to attend."

"You mean... they are coming for me?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"That's obvious. Besides, I suggest you read the contents of the letter."

Jeffrey's tone suddenly became extremely ambiguous.

Needless to say, he had already secretly opened the letter and read its contents.

Moreover, this power was granted by Zuo Si himself.

Just like that, under Jeffrey's gaze, Zuo Si quickly took out the letter and glanced at it at a very fast speed. The more he read, the more he felt something was wrong.

After all, who would talk so much about taking a bath together in the bathroom in a letter, and express in a very earnest tone that they hope to do it again in Luskan?

"Hey! Sir, although I shouldn't interfere with your private life, aren't you and Ms. Elastro a little too close? If someone dies accidentally, it will become very troublesome when disputes arise between the organization and the Harper Alliance in the future." Jeffrey reminded carefully.

Zuo Si rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Don't worry about these useless things, nothing has ever happened between us."

"Really? I don't believe it! Even the maids in the palace are saying that you are gifted. The last time I went to Silvermoon City, I spent three hours alone with Alustriel in the bathroom. It is said that when she came out of the bathroom, the lady had a satisfied expression on her face."

As he said this, Jeffrey's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

They are indeed the chosen ones of the Magic Goddess!

Physical strength is good! If it were any other mage, after three hours of "bloody battle", he would probably die in the bathroom.

As the saying goes, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.

Zuo Si, who had experienced the Internet age, knew very well that he couldn't clear himself of suspicion even if he jumped into the sea, so he simply gave up and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Go and respond to the envoy and say that I agree with Ms. Alustriel's request, and then notify Luskan City Hall to start preparations. Remember, this is an important diplomatic event, and there must be no mistakes."

"Please rest assured, I swear that whoever wants to make trouble in secret will pay a heavy price for it."

Jeffrey gave his assurance solemnly, then turned around and cast a teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.

After he left, Zuo Si took out an address from his pocket and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Now, it's time to visit this red dragon named Hephaestus and retrieve the dormant magic crystal. Dear Crenshinibon, your real master is coming soon."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si immediately began to cast precise teleportation magic, and after a while he left the palace of Kalin Port, without noticing that a girl not far away was staring at him with curious eyes.

The girl was none other than one of the descendants of King Shane VII and the only candidate designated as the crown prince - Aisha Shane.

She was full of curiosity about this young man who was destined to become her husband in the future.

Especially after learning what Zuo Si had done in the north, that curiosity quickly turned into a strong desire to explore.

It was a pity that Zuo Si was too busy on weekdays. Not only did he have to help Shane VII contact the churches of various gods, but he also had to supervise the formulation and revision of laws, and from time to time he had to participate in the planning of cities and surrounding towns.
