"A mess?"
Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head.
"No, it's not a mess, it's a necessary evil.
Only when Fuzzol Chamberlain has completely eliminated all the ruling classes in the North and destroyed those forces that hinder social progress and development can I carry out drastic reforms according to my wishes.
Otherwise, if I were to do these things, it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary resistance and resentment, and if not handled properly it might turn into sharp conflicts.
So to some extent, the army of Zhentil Keep is doing the things that are most likely to cause public resentment for me.
What I have to do is to wait until this dissatisfaction has brewed to a certain extent, and then liberate the vast land from Baldur's Gate to the Dragon Coast as a savior, so as to win the right to rule reasonably and legally.
Since the current situation is in my favor, why should I rush to deal with it? "
Khelbourne had obviously anticipated this answer, so he calmly asked, "How long do you plan to wait? A few days, ten days, or one or two months? There must be a deadline, right? Otherwise, if you wait until Fuzzol Chamberlain has established a stable rule there, you will be doing more harm than good.
You should know that the greatest feature of the Church of Bane is that it can quickly establish order in the conquered lands.
What's more, they have begun to seize resources and wealth in the occupied areas and transport them to Zhentil Keep.
If you give Fouzel Chamberlain too much time, he will strip the region of everything of value, leaving you with a poor, devastated land.
I believe this is not the result you want, right? "
It must be said that Khelben, who is from the lawful neutral camp, is indeed a very good persuader and diplomat.
Because he was never as willful and stubborn as Elminster, always insisting on what he thought was right and never knowing what compromise and concession were.
Just the opposite!
Kyle tends to think from the perspective of others, and then use the other party's interests as inducement to achieve his own goals.
This is why many rulers hate Elminster and the Harpers he founded, but are very happy to establish good friendship with Khelben.
As a supporter of law and absolute order, Khelbourne hates nothing more than a city or even a country falling into complete chaos and disorder.
If helping an evil force can restore it to normal, he will gladly accept it even if the new order is slavery.
This philosophy explains why he is able to make deals and reach cooperation in certain areas with Bane voters such as Fuzzol Chamberlain.
Of course, if he had a choice, Khelbourne would still prefer to establish a relatively neutral or benevolent ruling order.
In fact, Waterdeep is a large city-state that is typically neutral but slightly inclined toward good.
In unknown corners and near the entrances to the Underworld, there are always various thieves guilds and criminal organizations active.
But as long as they do not pose a huge threat to the security of the city, the Masked Lords Council of Waterdeep will turn a blind eye and basically will not spend much effort to clear them out.
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Before effective grassroots governance and rule are achieved, even if it is eliminated, it will soon revive again.
A similar situation had already occurred once before, when the Lords' Council ordered the expulsion of the Shadow Thieves Guild.
After all, the power vacuum at the bottom of society objectively exists.
When the government is unable to fill the gap, other forces will naturally come to fill it.
Generally speaking, Waterdeep's specialized guild system fills most of these gaps.
Organized crime and thieves' guilds make up the other small portion.
What's more, the mad wizard Halaster Blackrobed occasionally comes to the surface to secretly manipulate politics, and many forces are under his control.
The Council of Masked Lords dare not offend this person, otherwise the entire Waterdeep City will be blown to the sky.
Looking at Khelbourne's inquiring black pupils, Zuo Si smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter! The things that Fuzor Chamberlain can transport are at most some gold, silver, jewelry, food, cloth, weapons, armor and luxury goods.
For me, I can get almost as much of these things as I want, without even spending any money.
And when everyone has become poor because of plunder, wouldn't it be possible to win more support and cheers if I give them some relief? Politically speaking, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.
It is precisely because of the comparison that the civilians from Baldur's Gate to Dragon Coast can feel the changes and benefits I can bring to them.
If Waterdeep wants to ask me to send troops quickly, then please show some sincerity and don't just think about getting something for nothing."
Zuo Si made the point clear without any hesitation.
He knew that the longer the Zhentil Keep army occupied Baldur's Gate, the more disadvantageous it would be for Waterdeep.
In particular, it will greatly weaken its influence and dominance in the Sword Coast.
As the "leader" and "leader of the alliance", if Fuzzol Chamberlain is not driven away as soon as possible, then other towns will see the weakness of Waterdeep and come up with some other ideas and thoughts.
For example, joining a stronger and more powerful force.
What's even more terrible is that once such thoughts and ideas arise, they will never disappear with the withdrawal of the Zhentil Castle army.
It affects people's hearts and their trust in Waterdeep.
You have to know that Waterdeep is not just a city, but a large number of small towns and villages radiating from it, with a population of up to millions.
Therefore, if it loses these, although Waterdeep will still maintain a considerable degree of prosperity due to its superior geographical location, large number of spellcasters, and one of the very few spaceports in Faerun, its political status and influence will inevitably plummet.
Especially without the cheap food and raw materials such as grain, meat, and wood provided by the villages and towns, it would be impossible to maintain such a large urban population size, and shrinkage and decline would be almost certain.
This is also a problem that the Council of Masked Lords is eager to solve.
They wanted to send troops to prove themselves, but were afraid that losing the battle would lead to more serious consequences, which directly led to severe turmoil in the Sword Bay region.
"What do you want from Waterdeep?"
After a long silence, Khelbourne finally stopped testing and started bargaining.
Although the private relationship and friendship between the two was pretty good, he didn't think Zuo Si would make concessions on such a matter.
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless they are one male and one female.
If Zuo Si's goal was to build a west coast empire spanning the entire north and south, then city-states like Waterdeep, which held regional hegemony, would have to be suppressed until they lost the basis for their independent existence and were eventually incorporated into the empire.
Otherwise, as long as Waterdeep's influence exists, the towns and lords in the North who do not want to be annexed will always have someone to rely on and will never give up resistance and struggle.
"It's simple! I hope Waterdeep will agree to my three conditions.
First, you must immediately and unconditionally join the Trade Alliance and become a member of it; second, the spaceport in Waterdeep must be relocated to Athkatra, and no similar spaceports are allowed to be built from now on;
Third, I needed a seat as a Masked Lord so I could be deeply involved in Waterdeep's internal politics.
If these three conditions are met, I will have the army stationed outside of Athkatra march across the Misty Mountains to Baldur's Gate in the north.
Not only that, I will also gather the armies of Neverwinter, Dragonspear Castle, Luskan, Silvermoon Alliance, and the Nelanther Islands to form a huge coalition force.
Of course, if Waterdeep is interested, they can join in.
But this time, you will no longer be a leader, but a follower."
Zuo Si calmly put forward the conditions.
There is no doubt that he wants to gradually infiltrate Waterdeep from both the economic and political aspects, and ultimately bring it under his control.
Similarly, this is also sending a clear signal to the outside world that Sword Bay and even the entire west coast of Faerun will be incorporated into the territory of a huge empire, and even a powerful force like Waterdeep is no exception.
Having been the Lord of Waterdeep for so many years, Khelben obviously knew very well what it would mean if he agreed to these three conditions.
He did not respond immediately, but cast a spell to pass the content to several other lords.
After receiving a reply about ten or twenty minutes later, the great wizard took a deep breath and said, "We can agree to the first and second points, but not the third.
The Masked Lord System is the foundation for Waterdeep to maintain the stability of its own political power, and interference from external forces must not be allowed.
But we can accept a spectator without voting rights.
Also, when relocating the spaceport, you must ensure that the mages in Waterdeep can also use it, and give them sufficient compensation at one time.
If you agree, we can reach an agreement now.
In addition, Waterdeep is willing to provide 1,500 soldiers, 50 arcane spellcasters, and 30 priests to join the coalition."
Apparently, in the eyes of the Masked Lord of Waterdeep, the spaceport is actually far less important than most people imagine.
After all, a magic ship is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Anyone who can control a magic ship to travel through space or even between planes and crystal walls is at least a great wizard, or a race like the Githyanki that has developed a space civilization.
The characteristic of these guys is that they don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, and they will not fill their ships with food, cloth, condiments, handicraft raw materials and other necessities of life. They mainly trade in high value-added magical knowledge, items, scrolls, gems, etc.
It does not play any role in stabilizing the situation in Waterdeep.
At the same time, it may also attract sudden attacks from creatures from other planes.
The inter-dimensional portal that suddenly opened above Waterdeep in DR 1358 and the large number of gargoyles and tengu that appeared with it were the troubles caused by the spaceport.
In addition, the entire spaceport may receive no more than thirty magic ships a year, and the tax revenue it provides is extremely limited, so it is no wonder that it is not taken seriously.
In fact, Waterdeep isn't the only city with a spaceport on Faerun. There's also a bigger one on the elves' Evermeet Isle, which even has a space fleet stationed there all year round.
Of course, the "space fleet" here may be different from what most people on Earth imagine.
There are neither so-called giant ships and cannons, nor various advanced equipment and energy weapons.
Many magical ships look no different than wooden sailing ships sailing on the sea.
It's just that it's endowed with powerful magical power, which allows it to travel freely in space and even between planes, protecting the members inside from the effects of vacuum and other harsh environments.
The real purpose of these magic ships is not to trade, but to defend against the large-scale invasion of the Githyanki and occasionally conduct inter-dimensional exploration.
Its combat capability also depends on the spellcasters and other combatants on board.
"make a deal!"
Zuo Si agreed without even thinking about it.
He never expected to be able to reach into the inner workings of Waterdeep's ruling structure all at once, and he was already quite satisfied to achieve the first two goals.
Especially the spaceport.
Maybe it is not of much use to others, but he can use this thing to connect with other outer planes, which can play a key role in the development of magic civilization.
After all, the ultimate goal of any mature and powerful magical civilization is to enter the vast universe.
In the following time, both parties signed their names on two copies of the agreement.
At this point, Zuo Si finally temporarily took down the last difficult force in the north - Waterdeep City.
Politically, he has basically cleared all obstacles. What remains is to boil the frog in warm water, gradually control the towns through economic means, take back power bit by bit and finally achieve centralization and unification.
This is not an easy thing to do.
Because Elminster and the Harpers will do everything they can to interfere.
They may not be very good at construction, but they are definitely worth two for destruction.
Therefore, the road to unification of the North will definitely not be smooth sailing.
However, Zuo Si is confident that he can continue to play with these guys, and in repeated competitions, completely shatter their inner beliefs, and even cause them to suffer a mental breakdown and turn into a self-destructive madman or a walking corpse who has lost their ideals.
After collecting the signed agreement, Khelbourne immediately asked, "When do you plan to send troops?"
"No later than a week. I need to mobilize airships to transport the armies of other city-states and complete the assembly."
Zuo Si gave a specific deadline very clearly.
In fact, as early as the fall of Baldur's Gate, he had already issued orders to his subordinates and allies to assemble the army.
Among them, the Dark Elves, whose entire army was mobilized to fight in the basement of Dragonspear Castle, had assembled an army of more than a thousand people long ago. They launched several small-scale war exercises targeting the orcs and orc tribes in the High Wasteland, killing the latter miserably.
Ever since they showed up, all the monsters nearby have been avoiding Dragonspear Castle, fearing that they might be caught by these ferocious drow.
"Then it's settled! One week later, we will send troops to the south and the north at the same time."
After saying this, Khelbourne stood up and said goodbye, casting a teleportation spell and disappearing from the spot.
However, he did not return to Waterdeep, but appeared in the palace of the Kingdom of Cormyr not long after.
Seeing her husband suddenly arrived, Leila, who was resting, immediately stood up and asked, "How is it? Did you convince Soth?"
Khelbourne nodded slightly. "Yes. Although it cost a little, Soth finally agreed to lead the army to attack in a week. If nothing unexpected happens, Fuzzol Chamberlain will soon face a great defeat."
"What's the price?" Leila asked in a low voice.
"Waterdeep joins the Trade League, moves its spaceport to Athkatla, and the Masked Lords Council accepts a spectator.
Although Piergalen and several lords strongly opposed it, the vote was finally passed.
After all, although the conditions offered by Soth were harsh, they did not touch the most fundamental interests of Waterdeep City.
But I'm worried that this is just the beginning, and he will slowly extend his hand into the inner city of Waterdeep."
As he said this, Khelbourne couldn't help but sigh.
Because his position on this matter is somewhat contradictory.
On the one hand, he hoped that Zuo Si could accomplish the feat of unifying the west coast of Faerun and achieve some ultimate order;
On the other hand, he didn't want Waterdeep, which he regarded as his "home", to lose its most important characteristics and eventually become no different from other cities.
However, Leila was obviously not as entangled as her husband, and she smiled and comforted him, "Okay, don't think too much, just let everything go with the flow.
Anyway, no matter what Soth wants to do, it will never be a bad thing for the civilians living in this land.
And I have just convinced Yasan IV that he will launch a surprise attack from behind when necessary, cut off Sanfuzor Chamberlain's retreat, and intercept all the supplies that he wants to transport back to Zhentil Castle.
Oh, by the way, I also met Yalucel, who is known as the Iron Princess.
I have to say, she is much more interesting than I expected.”
"Oh? How is it interesting?"
Khelbourne asked casually with interest.
"Hmm - how should I put it?
Had she been a prince, she would have been the ideal heir to the House of Cormyr and a wise ruler like her father.
But unfortunately, she is neither a prince nor the first in line to the throne.
According to the succession laws of the Kingdom of Cormyr, she had no chance of ever getting her hands on the throne.
Also, I noticed that she seemed to be only interested in men who were stronger than herself.
So this action might be an opportunity.”
Leila's eyes flashed with a strange light, and it was obvious that she had thought of something.
I advise you not to do anything stupid!
Soth's wife can only be a descendant of Shane VII, which is related to the legal ownership of the two countries south of the entire west coast.
Soth would not make a mistake in this matter, and neither would Sean VII.
And it might even anger the Royal Family of Cormyr and make them feel humiliated."
"Haha, dear, you are mistaken, how could I make such a mistake.
I just want to introduce these two young people who have slightly similar personalities to each other.
As for whether there will be any sparks between them, that is none of my business.
After all, the great goddess of love and beauty, Suna, taught us that love is free and should not be subject to any form of constraints.
What's more, even if they can't become husband and wife, they can still be lovers or close friends, right?
Just think about it, once the West Coast Empire established by Soth forms an alliance with the Kingdom of Cormyr, it will almost completely block the westward expansion of Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim, and the Red Mages of Cyre.
This is an absolutely wonderful thing for all of us.”
Leila winked playfully and whispered her thoughts into her husband's ear.
…
At the same time, Zuo Si, who was far away in the Mage Tower of Askatra, had no idea that someone was trying to bring him together with the Iron Princess Yalusel. He was currently standing in the dragon's nest training the golden dragon girl, Golsaniya.
At the moment, this inexperienced little fellow maintained his dragon form, lying on the open space that originally belonged to the Infernal Red Dragon Wilmes, eating the delicious food carefully prepared by the multifunctional construct chef, while enjoying the massage and scale scrubbing services provided by the goblin werewolf.
Perhaps because she eats well, sleeps well, and exercises less, she no longer looks as slim and thin as before. Instead, she looks slightly fleshy and plump.
If it continues to develop in this way, it will become almost the same as the famous fat dragon - Xibochad in a few years.
Of course, the most important thing is not the change in body shape, but the change in thinking and concepts.
You have to know that at the beginning, this little golden dragon sister with a strong sense of justice was filled with strong indignation about the raising and enslaving of goblins.
But look at her now. She can actually enjoy the services of these goblins with peace of mind, and even make some requests, such as asking for harder force during the massage.
So how did Zuo Si distort Gorsaniya's cognition and make her slowly slide into the abyss of evil step by step?
The answer is very simple! Zuo Si directly told Little Sister Jinlong that all these goblins were motivated by a great and noble sentiment and a spirit of sacrificing themselves to serve others.
They take pride in serving others and enjoy helping others. The whole meaning of their lives is to keep more people away from dangerous, dirty and tiring jobs.
By infinitely elevating the morality of the goblins and werewolves, the evil nature of breeding and slavery is glorified.
After all, after so many generations of artificial selection, all the goblins and werewolves have now completed their transformation both in terms of ideology and genes, and have no consciousness of resistance at all.
In their eyes, the meaning of their lives is to serve their masters, and after death their bodies and even their souls will be dedicated to their masters.
So to some extent, Zuo Si did not lie or cheat, he just switched concepts.
If it were those experienced paladins, they would definitely see through it in minutes.
But the problem was that Golsaniya had no experience in dealing with people. After asking the goblins and the werewolves some questions, she found that the situation was exactly as Zuo Si described, and she was immediately moved to tears.
Even the slaves leased to the Amn government were considered the goblins' voluntary and noble dedication.
Gradually, she began to get used to the various services provided by the goblins, and felt that even if the "curse" that prevented her from flying could not be cured, there was nothing wrong with staying here for the rest of her life.
At least he could live a very comfortable life, often hearing the jokes told by the magic bats, watching their sitcoms, or chatting with the children from the slums who came to learn skills and knowledge.
In Gorsaniya's eyes, Zuo Si, who is helpful and has in-depth cooperation with the Church of Ilmater, the god of suffering, is a model of lawful goodness no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, he never puts on airs as a chosen person or a legendary wizard. Even when treating poor children whose clothes are full of patches, he always has a faint smile on his face, and he even distributes some candies, drinks and snacks that look very expensive to them.
There is no doubt that the Golden Dragon Girl does not understand that evil actually has different levels.
Only the lowest and most inferior evildoers would unscrupulously vent violence and oppress the good.
The slightly more advanced ones will establish order and rules to gain legitimate ruling power, and then use legal means to rule and exploit the lower-class people.
The more advanced ones will use spiritual slavery and control to make everyone obey them willingly and give everything for them.
Zuo Si's level was obviously higher. He elevated evil to the level of human nature, desire, and philosophy, and simply disdained to attack unarmed civilians.
Instead, they will use the knowledge and technology they possess to develop the economy and allow the people under their rule to live better than in other places.
Therefore, this huge deceptiveness has led to the fact that in the eyes of many people, Zuo Si should be lawful good or lawful neutral, but definitely not lawful evil.
Have you ever seen a lawful evil ruler distribute free food to the elderly, disabled, and children who can't afford it? Have you ever seen a lawful evil ruler actively abolish slavery and promote the renovation of slums that were originally dirty and messy? At least it has never happened in the continent of Faerun, where the conflicts between factions and ideologies are very serious.
Zuo Si would even seek justice for the people who were being massacred and robbed on the Maztec continent on the other side of the ocean!
As a result, his behavior is very deceptive, and he can get along well with almost everyone before revealing his true colors.
"Hiccup! Ah! Today's roasted whole pig is so delicious! I'm full!"
After throwing the last piece of cut pork into her mouth, Gorsaniya finally let out a moan of great satisfaction and licked her greasy lips with her tongue.
The goblins in charge of serving on the side rushed over and quickly cleaned up the plates, leftover bones and garbage, then served a sweet and sour drink and lit a piece of high-quality incense to dispel the remaining smell of food.
Because of their previous experience in serving Wilmes, these goblins were all familiar with the process, and even just watching them gave people a pleasing feeling.
Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, "How are you these days? Sorry, I'm a little busy recently, so I didn't have time to visit you."
"Hahaha! It's okay! Have you noticed that I've gained weight?" Gorsaniya laughed and patted her protruding belly and said self-deprecatingly.
"No, it's not called fat, it's called plump.
I believe that now that it has become a humanoid form, it will definitely fascinate many young people.
And eating more while you're growing will help you get stronger claws and wings when you're an adult."
Zuo Si complimented calmly.
With his previous experience in training Wilmes, he basically knew the habits of the dragon.
No matter whether it is a metal dragon from the good camp or a chromatic dragon from the evil camp, they all have an arrogant nature in their bones. The external manifestation is that they only like to hear good words and will automatically filter out criticisms and accusations.
As expected, when she heard the compliments about her figure and charm, Golsania's eyes suddenly revealed undisguised joy. She immediately cast a spell to transform into an elf, pretending to be reserved and lowering her head while looking at it, she asked, "Really? How come I don't feel anything at all?"
"Look at your plump, bulging bust and your round, perky buttocks. These are the most attractive parts of a woman. Believe me, your former companions would be shocked when they see you now."
Zuo Si looked at the human form of the golden dragon girl with interest and gave his comments.
Compared to the previous slender and skinny beauty, he obviously prefers the current one who is slightly plumper.
After receiving the affirmation again, Gorsaniya blushed and replied a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment. But after all, I am still a golden dragon that cannot fly..."
When she mentioned not being able to fly, she immediately became a little depressed.
"Don't be so self-deprecating. Even if you can't fly, you are still the most beautiful golden dragon lady in my eyes."
As he spoke, Zuo Si stretched out his hands and cupped the other person's cheeks, staring into the pair of pupils shining with golden light.
Obviously, Gorsaniya had never had such an intimate behavior with the opposite sex before. She suddenly felt nervous, her heart beat faster, her whole body began to feel hot involuntarily, and her breathing became very rapid.
Just as she was thinking wildly and worrying about whether the food residue in her teeth would lead to catastrophic consequences if they kissed, Zuo Si suddenly let go of her hand and gently smoothed her long hair. He continued to talk to himself, "Besides, this curse is only temporary. I will find a way to help you regain the ability to fly. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"Um!"
Gorsaniya nodded hurriedly and hurriedly, not knowing whether she was feeling relieved or disappointed at the moment.
Zuo Si keenly grasped this point, and immediately showed a satisfied expression, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, I plan to send troops north to drive out the army of Zhentil Castle in a few days. I want you to help contact those metal dragons in the good camp. Is that okay?"
"No problem! But I can't fly now, so my speed might be much slower."
Golsaniya agreed without even thinking about it.
She did not forget that she was seriously injured and almost died, and was cursed to be unable to fly. It was all done by Fuzzol Chamberlain.
So she would do anything that could hit this guy without hesitation.
“It’s okay, take your time.
It takes me at least a week just to assemble the army, so all you have to do is invite as many companions as possible to join you within a week.
Here, this is a teleportation magic ring that allows you to perform teleportation three times a day, which can make up for the inconvenience of not being able to fly."
After saying that, Zuo Si gently placed the magic ring he had prepared in advance in the palm of the golden dragon girl's hand.
There is no doubt that for a teenage dragon who has just left the protection of his parents and does not have a penny of property, this is definitely a magical item of great value.
Gorsaniya immediately put the ring on her hand, jumped up excitedly, hugged Zuo Si's neck, and kissed the latter heavily on the cheek.
"Thank you! You are such a good person! I promise that I will not let you down this time."
As the last word came out of her mouth, she immediately waved her hand to activate the ring's teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
Just a second later, a familiar voice came from the dark corner behind the dragon's nest.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! My dear Soth, you really amaze me. Seducing and playing with an innocent underage golden dragon girl? Your taste is really unique."
Soon, a woman in a fiery red dress slowly walked out of the darkness.
She was none other than the human form of the Red Dragon Queen of Purgatory - Wilmes.
As the newly crowned Dragon King of the southern west coast of Faerun, she has obviously acquired her own powerful aura after not being seen for a while.
Just look at the fearful eyes of the ordinary goblins, werewolves and dire wolves around him to know how much this guy has grown now.
"Why, are you jealous? Because I have never treated you so gently?" Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.
"Humph! I don't envy that stupid little girl who didn't even realize she had fallen into a trap. She is just a plaything, and I am the great Dragon King!"
While saying this, Wilmes quickly transformed into a dragon form and raised his chin proudly.
But the next second, her pride and pride were instantly shattered.
Zuo Si transformed into a two-headed infernal dragon at lightning speed, pinning him to the ground with overwhelming brutality, emitting a suffocating force of destruction, and whispered into his eardrum with his mouth close to his eardrum: "No, dear Wilmes.
In fact, there is no difference between you and Gorsaniya, you are both my playthings.
I can give her as much power as you anytime I want.
Do you think that after defeating Balagos "Flying Flame" you are the real Dragon King?
Don't be naive!
To me now, there is no difference between crushing a dragon king and crushing a bug.
Perhaps only the legendary dragon, Tchazzar, is a bit of a challenge.
So don't be arrogant or complacent.
You have only just begun your quest for power."
"This...is this your current dragon form?"
Wilmes widened his eyes in shock, hardly able to believe what he saw.
Because in her understanding, only those who become the chosen ones of Tiamat, the dragon god, can grow a second or third head and obtain the breath weapons of other types of colorful dragons.
But now, Zuo Si, who clearly does not believe in any gods, has two heads, one red and one blue.
"Yes! It's interesting, isn't it?
The red one can spew out hellfire, while the blue one can spew out deadly lightning.
And I can use my own blood to mass produce offspring.
The Hell Plane has endowed me with immense power and potential that is unimaginable to mortals."
As he spoke, Zuo Si released the claws that were pressing down on the opponent, and quickly transformed back into human form, feeling the amazing power contained in his body.
Wilmes also changed back to human form, his eyes revealed a strong sense of awe, and asked in a low voice: "Then how can I make myself stronger?"
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: “Excavate the purgatory bloodline in you.
You must know that the mark I left in your soul is more than just a mark.
It can grant you a lot of extra powers, and even transform you into a hybrid of a devil and a dragon.
By the way, what's the matter that brought you back here?"
"Ah! I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. I want the magical object that controlled my brain before!"
Wilmes stated his purpose without hesitation.
"Strange thing?"
Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what the guy in front of him wanted to do. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Are you planning to put the magic item into Balagos's brain and completely control him?"
Wilmes nodded immediately: "That's right! Balagos is a powerful ancient red dragon with great recycling value.
It would be a waste to just lock him up and bleed him every day, and it's not a long-term solution either.
Once he recovers from his injuries, this guy will definitely find a way to escape. I must find a way to solve this hidden danger once and for all.
If I use a magical object to completely control him, he can help me deal with enemies that are not convenient for me to deal with personally.
For example, those members of the good camp."
"Hahahaha! You've really become smarter. You can even use this kind of trick."
Zuo Si couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It has to be said that Wilmes's ability to realize the use of "black gloves" to reduce his presence and avoid attracting too much hatred is indeed an incredible growth.
He had no reason to refuse, so he took out the jar containing the strange object and handed it over.
Wilmes quickly took it and held it in his arms. He gently tapped the glass wall and said with a slightly emotional tone: "Long time no see, old friend. Now we are going to continue our cooperation. But this time, it's not me you have to control."
"Don't worry, I will fulfill my responsibilities. But you have to make sure Balagos is completely incapacitated. Otherwise, I will be hit head-on by the flame breath and will die instantly."
The wonder responds via the telepathic link.
Although it has the ability to think independently and make judgments, it has no emotions and is closer to the absolute rationality of the Mind Flayer.
"Got it! I'll take care of everything."
After getting what he wanted, Wilmes immediately stood up and said goodbye.
After witnessing the terrifying oppressive feeling when Zuo Si transformed into a giant dragon, she once again found the motivation to become stronger. She planned to go back and immediately begin to integrate more Purgatory bloodline, using the power of the devil to take her strength to a higher level.
