In the early morning, as the sun slowly rises from the sea level, the capital of Amn, Askatra, ushered in a new day.
At the dock, countless ordinary goblins and werewolves were being driven by their employers to do heavy physical labor, continuously moving goods from ships into warehouses, or from warehouses to ships.
Another group, led by city hall employees, pushes carts to clean up garbage on the streets, making the city look clean and tidy.
Since they have existed for a long time and have never injured anyone or caused riots, local residents have generally accepted these little monsters as replacing humans in doing some dirty and dangerous jobs.
After all, Askatla is currently in its fastest growth phase since its establishment.
Especially after the construction of the stronghold across the sea, the volume of trade with the Maztec continent has increased day by day.
In addition to the original cocoa trade, new trades have been added, including corn, vanilla, precious metals, gems, magic metals, various raw materials with magical value, ornamental plants and animals, etc.
In short, Amn merchants and adventurers will not let go of anything that can make money.
In return, they brought a large amount of ironware, spices, books, silk, cloth, sugar, clean salt without impurities, and low-level magic items to the locals.
This surge in trade has resulted in a constant shortage of labor throughout Askatla.
Some chambers of commerce and workshop owners even had to offer salaries twice or even three times higher than before to recruit workers in order to gain more market share before other competitors.
Since Amn is a highly developed commercial society, the business philosophy here is far more advanced than other places in Faerun, and it understands the importance of being the first to seize the market.
But the consequence of the workshop's increase in wages was that jobs like sweeping streets, carrying goods, repairing roofs, unclogging chimneys, and cleaning sewers were completely gone.
After all, these jobs are tiring, dangerous, low-paying and have low social status.
So after discussion, the Askatla City Hall decided to outsource it all to the werewolves and goblins under Zuo Si, and only assigned a small number of people to supervise and guide.
So this interesting scene came into being.
Now the number of elite workers in the city alone has reached an astonishing 30,000, completely filling the vacancies in the lowest level of the labor market.
It can be said that without these little monsters, the residents of the Gold City would have to coexist with smelly domestic garbage, and the busy ports and docks would be paralyzed.
For this reason, the top leaders of the Shadow Thieves Guild even had to make harsh statements, prohibiting any hooligans from causing trouble for the goblins, otherwise they would face the most severe punishment.
The reason is very simple.
They also need to hire these goblins to transport the large amounts of contraband and stolen goods they are smuggling.
The intricate underground passages have to be cleaned by the goblins from time to time to keep them clean and tidy.
It can be said that this city has become completely dependent on the services provided by the werewolves and goblins.
Even the paladins of the Church of the Good God and the Knights of the Burning Heart did not dare to mention the abolition of goblin slavery, otherwise they would immediately offend all classes and become the target of public criticism.
Zuo Si successfully used the method of interest kidnapping to give his goblin breeding industry, which was originally operating in the gray area, a legal cloak.
However, while everyone was enjoying the convenience brought by the goblins and werewolves, they had no idea that the number of goblins in the entire underground city had reached nearly one million.
The tunnels and caves they dug day and night have created an intricate underground city community, with a stable social structure formed within it.
It goes without saying that the ruling class are those dire wolf goblins whose heights are over 1.8 meters before they transform.
These guys are the Spartans among the goblins. They face a strict and cruel screening system and almost brutal warrior training from birth.
If any of the above items are not met, the candidate will be eliminated immediately.
When all the indicators are met, one can accept the blood of the dire wolf and complete the transformation from physical to psychological.
Dire wolf goblins never consider those short, timid, and cowardly ordinary werewolf goblins as their own kind, even if they are their brothers, sisters, or parents.
They see themselves as higher beings and naturally occupy the upper level of the power pyramid in the entire underground kingdom.
Those warriors who have completed their training but have not yet received the blood of the dire wolf are potential peers and can become lieutenants, subordinates, and managers to ensure that those lowly ordinary werewolves and goblins complete their designated tasks every day.
As for the dire wolf goblins themselves, the only thing they need to do is to undergo combat training so that they can be thrown into the battlefield when their great master Soth needs them and tear all enemies in front of them into pieces.
Not even death can stop them from moving forward.
The whole point of living is to fight and win!
This is what makes the Dire Wolf Legion so terrifying.
Although they could not compare with the army of undead who were completely incapable of feeling fear, let alone the army of demons and devils transformed by the shining oil, for most countries on the continent of Faerun, this was already an absolutely invincible force.
Most importantly, the dire wolf goblins are living beings, and can barely be considered native to this land.
Even if they were thrown into the battlefield, it would not cause too violent a reaction, nor would it arouse the vigilance of the gods. At best, it would make the surrounding countries and forces feel afraid, and then just make a few verbal condemnations.
At this moment, Shane VII was standing in the largest cave in the entire underground city, looking down at the dire wolves that were more than two stories tall, wearing plate armor with amazing defensive power, and holding various weapons for training. He couldn't help but sighed: "My young friend, you really have come up with something incredible. If I had such a powerful beastman army, I could sweep across the entire Steam Lake coast and the Kingdom of Tethyr in a month at most."
But Zuo Si smiled and shook his head and responded: "Use the Dire Wolf in the civil war?
Are you crazy?
You know, they don't know what it means to show mercy.
Once they rush into the battlefield, they will definitely tear to pieces any living thing they see.
This will not only cause a lot of unnecessary casualties, but will also easily trigger resistance in the conquered and occupied areas.
Don't forget that the Shane Empire is no longer the evil country that practiced slavery a thousand years ago.
Instead, it is a free country that has been supported and recognized by the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, and the God of Loyalty and Courage, and has completed the historic move of abolishing slavery.
So I suggest that it is better to use human troops in civil wars as much as possible.
At least in the eyes of the residents of the conquered and occupied areas, they are at least of the same race as themselves, which makes it easier for them to accept psychologically.
The role of the Dire Wolf Legion is mainly to deal with external threats, launch small-scale invasion wars in other time and space, and make necessary preparations for the next stage of marching into the Underdark.
Besides, you have no idea how much fresh meat and fish are needed every day to feed these big guys.
If it weren't for the support of resources from other worlds, it would be impossible to raise too much.
Otherwise, I can turn all the werewolves and goblins who have completed training into dire wolves."
"Well, maybe you're right.
Using this beastman army requires strong logistical supply capabilities.
Before I got the spark and became a planeswalker, it was difficult to support them with just the output of Calishite.
But your ordinary werewolves and goblins seem pretty good too, how about giving me some?"
After realizing the dire wolf's astonishing appetite, Shane VII decisively gave up his previous idea and turned his attention to cheaper alternatives.
You must know that although Calishite has gained a large population and labor force by liberating slaves, taxation has also been rising with the increase in free people.
But the problem is that the newly occupied cities and areas need to be garrisons to maintain order and suppress the rebellions and bandits that appear from time to time.
The newly recruited soldiers were obviously unable to undertake such a complicated task.
The elite troops will be sent out to attack and occupy more towns in an effort to restore the Shane Empire's original territory in the south as soon as possible.
In addition, the surge in spending caused by the increase in military size is also a hidden danger.
In addition, Calimshan is now filled with churches and believers of the three lawful good gods, as well as people who have come from other parts of Faerun to support the just cause free of charge. It is simply impossible to use undead creatures on a large scale to replace the living.
Therefore, Sean VII urgently needs some obedient and cheap cannon fodder, preferably one that does not even require salary.
The goblin werewolves raised here perfectly meet his requirements.
And when not needed, they can be transformed into laborers in mines and quarries, or consumables for live experiments.
After death, the body can be made into a zombie.
Even if you are discovered, you don't have to worry too much about being blamed.
After all, in the eyes of most humans, goblins are not intelligent creatures at all, but pests that only know how to plunder and destroy.
It's simply perfect! Shane VII couldn't believe that this young ally beside him had actually created such a perfect tool race.
The high degree of obedience formed through repeated manual screening and iteration seemed to open a door to a new world for him.
It turns out that biological transformation and domestication can be played like this!
"No problem.
Later I will select 50,000 newly-adult goblins and bring them back to you.
But remember to control the number of their reproduction.
Otherwise, in a year or two the infestation will snowball like rats and can only be contained by mass killings.
And if you want them to be soldiers, you have to provide them with food that is high in protein and make sure they are full."
Zuo Si agreed without even thinking about it, and also pointed out some precautions.
After all, compared to the big gift package the other party just gave, what I gave was simply insignificant.
Especially the contract scroll from the mechanical world. The knowledge it contains and the power of the ultimate order of the universe cannot be purchased by money.
He even wondered, if the oil was put into the mechanical realm, would the oil infect the entire plane? Or would the will of the plane seize control of the oil and transform it into part of its own power?
Because the three Eldrazi Titans who could easily devour and destroy the world in other time and space did not show overwhelming terrifying power when facing the resistance of the will of the abyss. Instead, they fell into a long stalemate like a bloody battle.
In Zuo Si's understanding, even when the first generation of Phyrexian forces led by Yawgmoth reached their peak, they were not necessarily a match for the Eldrazi.
Therefore, it is still unknown which one is superior, the will of the Shuoyou or the will of the mechanical realm.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the will of the mechanical realm plane will choose to actively merge with the sparkling oil.
After all, this thing only pursues pure order and is not interested in camp tendencies such as good and evil.
The demons from hell all have large colonies there, and the Formi ants have built a huge empire and are constantly expanding it. The Lord of the Demon Tomb and the God of Clockwork - Singularity, who represent the will of the plane, have not done anything.
In short, Zuo Si currently knows too little about the plane will, a mysterious force that embodies the ultimate power of the entire universe.
However, with the help of the power contained in the scroll in his hand, he was able to glimpse a little of the mystery of the mechanical realm.
As for the small matter of controlling the Guild of Masked Mages, it was just an added benefit.
Shane VII obviously caught Zuo Si's little movement of fiddling with the scroll, and asked with a smile: "How do you plan to integrate the complicated factions and struggles within the Masked Mage Guild? Do you need my help?"
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, it's not necessary.
With this contract, I can easily separate this spellcaster organization from the administrative unit of Amn and make it a relatively independent organization rather than a vassal of the Council of Six.
In my opinion, the reason why the Masked Mage Guild is not strong enough is that they have not found their own position.
Moreover, it is wrong to incite the people's irrational emotions of disgust and rejection of arcane magic in order to monopolize all magical resources.
Next, I will gradually relax or even cancel the ban in all major cities including Athkatla, allowing mages to openly build wizard towers, conduct magic research and experiments, and buy and sell various magic materials and items.
The Emerald Society under my control will also be absorbed and integrated into this process.
As for those faction leaders and archmages, I will let my liches visit them one by one.
I believe that in the face of overwhelming power, they should know how to choose.
You know, I have a lot of experience and unique skills in helping others transform into liches."
"Hahahaha! Are you going to make the other party behave by controlling the life box?
This is really your style.
However, for those aging masked wizard leaders, transforming into a lich may be a way to escape death.
As far as I know, many of them are trying to find ways to extend their lifespan and slow down the aging of their bodies.
When I first joined this organization, there was a necromancer who wanted to take over Zelanora, who was under my control, in order to obtain the body of the moon elves, who could live for hundreds or even thousands of years. "
Shane VII laughed and talked about some secrets and interesting stories within the Masked Mages Guild.
"Using necromancy like the Magic Soul Pot in front of you? May I ask what happened to him?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Shane VII smiled a chilling smile and replied, "I can only tell you that his soul tastes good."
Apparently, the unfortunate fellow's soul had been devoured, absorbed, and digested by the demilich.
You should know that the biggest difference between a lich and a demilich, apart from the latter's broken and incomplete body, is their terrifying soul-capturing ability.
Once successfully captured, not only will the target's flesh collapse, disintegrate, and rot in an instant.
And if the soul is not rescued within 24 hours, it will disappear from the world permanently.
Normally, a demilich can capture up to eight souls at a time and store them in a gem to slowly digest.
Therefore, playing soul magic in front of such a terrifying undead creature is simply a typical case of showing off one's skill in front of an expert.
"How pitiful. I think the necromancer must have regretted not using more prophecy magic to confirm your identity before his soul disappeared." Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh and teased.
Shane VII made a very sharp comment: "The Masked Mages Guild has monopolized Amn's magical resources for too long, so that the top leaders are full of complacency and arrogance.
I suggest that when you do it, it is best to give them some impressive lessons, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
And there's Vera Salem, a slightly crazy, bold, and ambitious woman; you'd better pay more attention to her.
If it really doesn't work, just let her disappear and control the entire Salem family directly.
I believe that with these two handles, it should be easy for you to seize actual control of Amn and turn the Council of Six into a plaything in your hands.
As for the shadow thieves, they are just a group of shy rats and it is easy to deal with them.
By the way, it seems you haven't met Vera yet, right?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. But I have invited her to visit Lake Castle. I want to see what is so special about this crazy woman who can kill her parents and all her relatives."
"Haha, believe me, you will like Vera.
She is very special. She is not crazy or bloodthirsty and violent in the ordinary sense. She just sees through the essence of power.
And according to my previous experience, this type of woman will show a different style in certain aspects, which can satisfy men's desire for possession and conquest to the greatest extent.
I noticed that you don't seem to have a lover or children so far.
Restraining your desires may be a good thing for a mage, allowing you to devote more time and energy to learning, research and exploration.
But for a monarch who is about to become the ruler of a vast empire that rules 90% of the territory of the entire west coast of the continent of Faerun, you need to show a little lustfulness appropriately.
At least let your subjects know that you like women who are capable of bearing offspring.
In this way, the political situation and people's hearts will remain stable.
In addition, appropriately accepting sisters or daughters offered by some wealthy merchants and nobles as lovers can also be used as a means of balancing internal factions. "
Sean VII took the opportunity to pass on some of the experiences and insights he had gained when he was emperor.
Because he was too focused on studying magical powers back then, he ended up having only one daughter and no male heir.
This also became an important reason for the eventual collapse and destruction of the Shane Empire.
After all, the Shane Empire, whose capital is located in the southern port of Kalin, has always been an undoubted patriarchal society, as can be seen from the polygamy that has continued to this day.
In addition, men have much greater advantages in fertility than women.
As long as a man has enough spouses, he can even have dozens of children in a year.
If there are one or two capable descendants among them, they might be able to make a comeback in a few hundred years and establish several powerful families, or even become the rulers of Calimshan again.
Instead of being reduced to the situation now, where there are only a few orphans with royal blood of Shane flowing in the entire Calin Port, and most of them are still the lowest slaves.
"Thank you for your advice. But I have my own ideas in this regard, so please don't bother. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Because the goddess of wealth Waukeen is still waiting in her temple to discuss cooperation with me."
After saying that, Zuo Si bowed politely, then activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing that Zuo Si didn't listen at all, Shane VII didn't say much. After Wilmes prepared the box full of goblins, he quickly returned to the palace in Port Calin and continued to advance his military conquest plan to recover the Shane Empire.
…
Located at the highest point in the city of Athkatla, stands a giant temple that covers an area almost as large as the town.
It is the sanctuary of Waukeen, the goddess of wealth, and is also the most majestic and luxurious building in the city.
Just the dome-shaped spire that emits a dazzling golden light under the sunlight is said to have cost millions of gold coins to manufacture the gold plating.
In addition, there are well-arranged palaces, sculptures, paintings, and exquisite pillars made of silver.
The pillars are densely inlaid with valuable gems as decoration.
Anyway, the image of being rich and inhumane is evident from the inside out.
After all, as the god of commerce, trade, and wealth, Waukeen's church is almost the only institution in the entire continent of Faerun that can provide services including currency exchange, cross-regional remittances, and storage of valuables.
Therefore, the transaction fees earned from it alone are quite considerable.
Not to mention the astonishing profits the church has made through lending, equity investment, etc., as well as generous donations from businessmen.
If there were a ranking of the wealth of the churches of the gods of Faerun, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth would undoubtedly be ranked first, and the lead over the second place would be several times or even dozens of times.
Especially after Wojin successfully returned from the abyss, the golden divine light once again enveloped the sky above this huge temple. Merchants from all over the world flocked in like crazy, leaving offerings ranging from hundreds to thousands or even tens of thousands.
The church was obviously very happy about this unexpected wealth.
Because in addition to the value of the money itself, this also means that the goddess' influence in the fields of business and trade is recovering rapidly.
But Waukeen's own reaction to this was cold. He neither showed any joy nor performed more miracles to create an atmosphere.
Just the opposite!
She was sitting alone on the altar in the temple at this moment, staring at the statue carved for her with interest, as if waiting for someone.
After about two or three minutes, a portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Zuo Si walked out of it and bowed to the Goddess of Wealth with a smile on his face.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I hope I'm not late."
“No, of course not, you’re devilishly punctual.
I'm curious, what exactly are you now? A planeswalker? Talona and the Chosen of Midnight?
Or is he the lord of the new ninth layer of hell? Or is he a special being who has been granted the same status as the gods by the God of Gods, Io?"
Waukeen asked directly the question that had been bothering him.
Because the more she understood, the more she found that the young man in front of her had too many scary labels.
Zuo Si responded without hesitation: "Both, and neither. In fact, my true identity is always only one, that is, the Planeswalker. As for the others, you can understand them as unexpected surprises obtained by chance."
Wakin nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Well, now I understand your unique attitude towards the gods. Before we discuss cooperation, let me first deliver on the reward I promised you."
Before he finished speaking!
The incarnation of the goddess of wealth raised her right hand, mobilized her divine power and her own divine power, and shaped a coin shining with golden light in the palm of her hand.
The front side shows her profile, and the back side shows the holy emblem.
Zuo Si took it and used identification magic to detect it, and immediately found that this thing was actually an authentic high-level artifact.
The name is [Flow of Wealth].
In addition to providing an additional seventh, eighth, and ninth level spell slot and divine spell slot when carried on the person, its most important ability is "transformation."
Simply put, it means paying the corresponding money in exchange for the materials or magic items you want, or converting valuable things into any currency.
Of course, you can also spend money to cast almost all arcane and divine spells from zero to nine levels without restriction.
It has to be said that the power of this artifact is really in line with the identity of Waukeen, the goddess of wealth.
Having the [flow of wealth] is like carrying a universal store with you.
Although the price is basically the same as the selling price and purchase price on the market, there will be real-time price fluctuations if too much is sold or bought.
But it is really convenient.
And it will not replace other magic equipment, it can work just by putting it in the trouser pocket.
"Thank you very much for your generosity. I am very satisfied with the compensation."
Zuo Si put away the magic weapon and gave the Goddess of Wealth a kind smile.
There is no way! She gave too much...
"As long as you like it."
Wajin was obviously satisfied that the artifact he sent had the desired effect, and then continued to probe: "What arrangements and plans do you have regarding Amn?"
Zuo Si lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "No. The current six-member council system in Amn is working very well, and I don't plan to make large-scale changes for the time being.
But next I will control this highest authority to formulate some laws, regulations and systems to make the entire market standardized.
Those families and large chambers of commerce in the province unscrupulously suppressed later competitors through various means, and eventually gradually turned into cancer.
At this moment, Ascatla is like a bay, full of huge and ferocious sharks, with no room for small fish to grow.
This kind of market is obviously deformed and unhealthy.
If it were not for the huge support of foreign trade, the circulation system would have collapsed long ago.
In particular, if excessive money is issued, once it flows back in large quantities, it will inevitably cause soaring prices and serious inflation, and the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic.
The essence of business is transaction, but it is also a process of creating value.
To maintain the prosperity of the market, it is necessary to provide sufficient quantities of high-quality goods so that consumers have sufficient purchasing power and desire to buy.
All of this requires that merchants in the market maintain competition, rather than allowing them to monopolize and ultimately leave consumers with no choice.
In other words, it means suppressing the old families and chambers of commerce within a certain range, while supporting some new chambers of commerce to form a stable competitive relationship with them.
In addition, I will also begin to build a unified internal market from Luskan to Neverwinter, to Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate and Amn, as well as Tethyr and Calimshan further south to promote production and consumption.
In fact, the general framework of negotiations in this regard had already been finalized at the last Northern Lords Alliance meeting.
Although some lords of Waterdeep are still wary of this, I think once the plan is launched, they will definitely be eager to join in.
Otherwise, you will soon be eliminated from the competition.
Finally, a vehicle called an airship will be used to connect inland towns to ensure the safety, efficiency and cheapness of the transportation process..."
"Airship? What is that?!"
Woking asked with his eyes slightly shining.
After hearing what was said just now, she could already vaguely see a huge business empire rising on the west coast of the continent of Faerun.
A unified market! A unified tariff! Even a unified currency! Merchants can set out from any city at will, go to places thousands of miles away to sell their goods, and then buy local specialties to bring back.
There is no need to worry about passing through checkpoints set up by powerful forces along the way, or the layers of high taxes that are like skinning, which ultimately leads to finding that after arriving at the destination and selling the goods, you not only did not make any money but instead lost all your money.
Don't ever think that this is some hellish joke or fairy tale.
It happens every moment in every corner of Faerun.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter robbers and monsters, you might even lose your life.
Being a businessman in the continent of Faerun is not an easy job, and not everyone can do it.
What Zuo Si did was equivalent to lowering the threshold for ordinary people to join trade activities.
This is naturally the best thing for the goddess of wealth.
“An airship is a means of transportation that can fly at high altitudes.
Its biggest feature is its stability and amazing load capacity.
And its speed is much faster than any ship or carriage.
It only takes a few days to fly from Luskan in the north to Calimport in the south, but the cost is never much higher than that of a ship.
The most important thing is that the airship can fly at an altitude of several thousand meters, which is enough to avoid almost all possible threats on the ground, and its safety is more guaranteed than by land or even sea.
I believe you should understand what this means, right? "
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and used illusion magic to create an image of an airship, as well as the details of its takeoff and landing.
Woking was instantly attracted by this simple but amazing means of transport. After a full minute, he exclaimed, "Perfect! It's absolutely perfect! It's simply a sky ship, a weapon to break down regional barriers and promote trade prosperity! I bet that if enough airships are invested, the trade volume of the entire continent will instantly increase several times.
Especially for land transportation, it is absolutely subversive.
Dear Soth, now I finally understand why so many gods are eager to have you as their chosen one.
Your thoughts, your consciousness, your unique understanding of the world and the universe, and the inventions and creations that can expand their influence are all of extraordinary significance. "
While saying this, the Goddess of Wealth slowly approached, reached out her hand and touched Zuo Si's cheek, admiring his pupils that were as attractive as black holes.
Zuo Si maintained a reserved smile and asked in a playful tone, "You don't think this is the only surprise I have prepared, do you? You should know that I have regarded you as one of the most important allies from the beginning, and have made many plans for this."
"Oh? Any bigger surprise?"
Wojin felt his heartbeat quickening, and a kind of joy and happiness that could not be described in words was sweeping through his body at a very fast speed.
"Haha, have you forgotten my other identity, the new Lord of the Ninth Layer of Hell? On that level, I built an unprecedented city, attracting visitors from different planes and the material world.
And intend to keep it running with business rules.
I sincerely invite you and your fellow believers to join in.
Whether it is to build a temple to preach, or to invest money to make a profit and gain corresponding power and influence, it will be beneficial to you in every way. "
In order to make the goddess of wealth in front of him understand his idea, Zuo Si directly projected what the huge urban cluster would look like after completion.
In just a few seconds, Woking was completely immersed in it, and his whole body was shaking slightly.
Because this cyberpunk city full of commodities, consumption and transactions was completely beyond her understanding of her own priesthood.
Especially the complex laws, rules, and how banks and financial institutions operate, as well as the means of gaining power through money hidden beneath all of this, all make the goddess of wealth amazed.
She even felt that Zuo Si was more suitable to be the God of Wealth than herself.
Because if she could accomplish these things in Faerun, she would become one of the most powerful gods.
excited!
Excited! Trembling!
At this moment, Wojin looked as if he had taken something that could affect his nerves. His wolf-like and ferocious eyes were even more frightening, as if he wanted to swallow Zuo Si in one gulp.
After a long while, she finally calmed down, raised her head and asked softly: "Why do you spend so much effort to help me? Or what do you want from me?"
“In Faerûn, I need more and stronger allies.
You happen to possess a priesthood with incredible potential, and with just a little help you could become one of the most powerful of these divine forces.
And I believe that trade and wealth can have a very positive impact on a civilization.
So the stronger you become, the better the world we live in will be.
So why shouldn't we form a close alliance?"
After saying this, Zuo Si took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.
Without even a second's hesitation, Wojin stretched out his right hand and shook it.
"It's my honor to have you as an ally. Dear Soth, do you know how charming you were when you spoke just now? I even feel like I'm about to fall in love with you."
"I suggest you never have such thoughts.
Because Talona will be jealous and even resentful of you.
Believe me, it's not easy to be hated by her.
Unless you have a powerful force like the Goddess of Magic and the God of Knowledge. "
Zuo Si rejected the hint given by the Goddess of Wealth in a half-joking tone.
"Really? That's a shame."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Wojin's golden pupils, but it was quickly concealed.
She obviously didn't want to make enemies, especially with a god like Talona who was in a period of rapid rise and could be promoted to a powerful god at any time.
In the following period of time, the two sides discussed the specific matters of cooperation and the recent uneasy situation.
When talking about Xirik, the madman who was deified during the turbulent years, the Goddess of Wealth showed obvious expressions of disgust and disdain.
“The chaos created by Dark Sun and his followers has obviously seriously affected normal business activities.
Especially his act of claiming to be the only true God is extremely arrogant and he does not take other gods seriously at all.
If the matter really comes to a head when a meeting of the gods is called, I will join forces with the goddess of joy, Lila, the god of travel and exploration, Shandakel, and the god of craftsmen, Gund, to support you. "
"Thank you. Including you, I have successfully united many gods, including the God of Knowledge, the Goddess of Magic, the God of Justice, the God of Suffering, the God of Mages, the Goddess of Poison and Disease, etc. If we work together, it should be enough to give him a hard time. Besides, this is not my only means."
When the topic of dealing with Xirik came up, Zuo Si's emotions immediately became high, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a creepy expression.
Because he had disliked the other party for a long time and was waiting for this opportunity.
"Be careful. That guy is very crazy now. It is said that in the world of the dead that he controls, he uses the souls of other gods' believers to feed the Chaos Hound Kozef." Wojin warned in a serious tone.
"The Chaos Hound Kozef was released?"
A gleam of light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
He remembered that the God of Justice had sealed this terrible ancient evil creature at the cost of one of his hands.
Later, Cyric released it to hunt down the soul of Klemvor, and Mask, the god of thieves, soon sealed it away through conspiracy and trickery.
In other words, this is the second time that the Chaos Hound Kozef has been released.
Wakin nodded slightly. "Yes! Although I don't know who did it, it is now wandering around the border of the outer plane, seemingly chasing Musk. It is said that it even bit off one of Musk's legs."
“Hahahahaha!
This clever god of thieves has been having a really bad time lately.
First, he accidentally read the "Book of Cyric" and lost a lot of divine power and shadow priesthood, and now he is being hunted by the Chaos Hound Kozef.
I suspect he will kill himself if he continues to play like this."
Zuo Si couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It's impossible not to laugh, because Musk's behavior and the results he caused are too much like a clown.
No matter how big, complex and sophisticated the conspiracy he weaves, the final result is only one, which is to harm himself.
What's even more interesting is that this God of Thieves never learns from his failures, but instead repeats the same mistakes over and over again.
Wojin regarded Musk as his mortal enemy, so he immediately followed Zuo Si and began to mock the latter, and even provided some unknown black materials at that time...
