The bustling crowds on the streets and in the markets, the hawkers' shouting at the top of their lungs, the bargaining of merchants, and the laughter and scolding of guests in taverns, hotels, restaurants and other places together create a picture of prosperity.
As the second largest city in the West Coast Empire and a cultural, educational and political center, its importance is self-evident.
If the capital city of Askatla is the heart, supplying blood to the empire through economy, finance, trade and manufacturing, then Calimport is equivalent to the brain center.
All policy making, financial budgeting, appointments and removal of officials, rewards and punishments, abolition and promulgation of laws, and deployment of troops are all completed here without exception.
Although many landmark buildings in Kalin Port that were thousands of years old and could be called "cultural relics" were extensively destroyed and forcibly demolished during the large-scale expansion and reconstruction, the overall style has not changed.
In particular, the magnificent royal palace, after being rebuilt and renovated after the restoration of King Shayen VII, is almost the same as it was during the Shayen Dynasty.
This made countless Kalinshan people involuntarily recall their glorious history and civilization when they almost ruled the entire west coast of the Faerun continent. As a result, they were filled with a sense of identity and belonging to the empire that now had the royal blood of Shane through marriage.
After all, the current vast territory of the West Coast Empire is exactly what they have always longed for but have not been able to achieve.
This alone makes the vast majority of the proud Kalinshan people wholeheartedly support the legitimate right of the current emperor Zuo Si and his descendants to rule.
Not to mention the strong centralized, efficient and honest bureaucracy and judicial system, and the continuous improvement in income and living standards brought about by the widespread popularization of knowledge, technology, and magic.
Some scholars even declared that the existing rule and various systems of the West Coast Empire are the most ideal and perfect, and are truly the "end of history", and there will never be anything that can surpass it.
The age of giants and dragons, the civilization established by the elves in ancient times, the Empire of Netheril, and the High Empire of Imaskar all had to stand aside in front of the newly rising West Coast Empire.
As for theocracy-ruled Mulhorand and Unther Empire, they are not even worthy of carrying the latter's shoes.
They also compiled several books for this purpose, and sparked heated discussions and debates in the academic circles throughout the continent of Faerun.
Facts have once again proved that admiration for the strong is human nature and instinct.
When you are strong enough, everything you do is right.
Even if there are problems, there will be people who will find reasons and excuses for you, and give reasonable explanations and various legal bases.
This trend of thought just catered to the subtle sense of pride and superiority of the people in the Kalinshan region and even the entire West Coast Empire, allowing them to gradually develop an identity and cultural identification.
And the recent news that Queen Aisha gave birth to a child with divine powers made everyone very excited.
Both commoners and nobles were anxiously awaiting the official announcement from the royal family, as well as the gender and name of the heir.
Some cities even make preparations in advance. As soon as the information is announced, they will hold grand celebrations and invite artists to create sculptures to commemorate this great moment.
But what puzzled everyone was that so much time had passed, but the royal family had not made any move, as if the prince or princess had never been born.
There were even rumors that this offspring had died due to some accident.
But soon some scholars came out to refute the rumors.
After all, that is a powerful quasi-divine power, how could it die prematurely?
In short, the outside world's speculation has already evolved into dozens of versions, making it difficult for people to tell whether it is true or false.
Under normal circumstances, at this time the cabinet or Queen Aisha should have come out and issued an official announcement to refute the rumors.
But they obviously have their own reasons.
The reason why there has been no official announcement yet is mainly because the little Annie that everyone saw at the beginning was first an untouchable ball of energy, and then she kept changing between the forms of a human, a devil, a dragon, etc.
Before her gender could be confirmed, she was taken away by the magical goddess Midnight.
Even Aisha, as a mother, didn't know whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter, and she was not even sure what the baby was.
This left her to the outside world to speculate on how she would announce the specific information about the empire's heir.
At the moment, the queen was lazily lying in a rocking chair, enjoying the fresh fruits airlifted from the north while flipping through the account books and profit briefings in her hands. After several minutes, she asked without even looking up, "What is the total income of the royal property this quarter?"
"After deducting all expenses, the total is over 30 million gold coins, Your Majesty. Of this, cross-dimensional transactions and magic-related operations account for more than 60%."
The young maid with long black hair and wearing a sexy translucent gauze skirt proudly reported the figures that would shock and envy the rulers of most countries in the continent of Faerun.
Because this is not the overall financial revenue of the West Coast Empire, it is only the income from the royal industry. There is no problem even if it is completely squandered for enjoyment.
In the eyes of most people, being able to participate in the management of such a huge industry is an honor and a source of pride.
Of course, women who are qualified to enter the harem and serve the queen are basically from noble families.
Since the Kalinshan region is not a monogamous society, men can not only marry multiple wives, but also keep hundreds of concubines, so the number of offspring is also quite astonishing.
Some wealthy and powerful middle-aged and elderly men may even have more than three-digit children, as well as even more grandchildren.
In order to follow ancient traditions and to strengthen the relationship between their families and the royal family, many important officials and nobles would find ways to send the youngest and most beautiful women in their families into the palace.
These well-educated, fair-skinned and beautiful young aristocratic women have two identities at the same time.
One of them is the role played by the maid in front of you, which is to assist the royal family in managing huge assets, and occasionally you may need to sacrifice your beauty to engage in espionage activities.
Another option is to perform secretarial and clerical work while satisfying the emperor's own desires.
They are not beautiful vases in the traditional sense, who rely entirely on selling their bodies and beauty to gain power.
Just the opposite!
These women are true aristocratic elites who possess professional knowledge and skills. They are also one of the few women who have had the opportunity to touch power in Kalinshan's male-dominated society for thousands of years.
The residents of Port Calim even gave them a very appropriate nickname - "Vipers".
Although it looks beautiful and poses little threat, a bite from it can be fatal.
These women gladly accepted the title of "Viper" and even customized snake-shaped amulets to wear on their bodies to highlight their unique identity.
As a queen who loved reading and had been personally trained by King Sean VII, Aisha naturally could not be unaware of the history and origin of "Viper". She also knew that this was one of the few powers that she could control.
So she used some means to win over these young women in order to consolidate her position in the harem.
Although Zuo Si had not touched other women in the palace so far, Aisha, who was used to powerful men having many wives and concubines, had already started to prepare for a rainy day.
And completely controlling the royal financial revenue is one of the most direct and effective means.
After all, although Her Majesty the Queen looks gentle, quiet and bookish, she is not naive and knows how to control power to the maximum extent within the scope of her husband's permission.
Although she would not interfere with the cabinet, administrative and judicial systems, she had already firmly grasped the power of the harem in her own hands.
"As is customary, two-thirds of the money should be sent to the education department, and the rest should be saved to pay servants' salaries, maintain and repair the palace, and purchase daily necessities. Also, remember to prepare some baby products, which may be needed in the future." Aisha ordered without hesitation.
"Baby products? You mean..."
The maid obviously noticed something and a very expectant expression appeared on her face.
After all, she was present at the birth and was one of the very few people who knew the truth.
Aisha smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I haven't gotten any accurate information. I just want to fulfill my duties as a mother."
The maid nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand. But according to tradition, whether it is a prince or a princess, they must recruit servants of the right age from the nobles after they are born to cultivate relationships from a young age. Do you think this matter should also be put on the agenda?"
"No, don't worry. After all, I don't even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl. What's more, I don't think the little guy needs any servants to protect his safety. Let Soth handle things like this."
Aisha rejected the other party's proposal very straightforwardly.
"As you wish!"
The maid placed one hand on her chest and bowed deeply, then turned around with graceful steps and disappeared at the end of the corridor behind her.
Aisha sat alone on the balcony, gazing at the distant scenery and sighed.
Obviously, out of maternal instinct, she missed her child very much and longed to see him at least once as soon as possible.
At this moment, a portal suddenly opened out of nowhere.
Soon afterwards, Zuo Si's figure appeared out of nowhere, holding in his arms a girl who looked about three years old, wearing a purple princess dress, over-the-knee socks and small leather boots.
“This… What is this?!!”
Aisha stood up from her chair in a flash, not even bothering to put on her shoes. She stepped barefoot on the cold marble floor, her face full of excitement.
"Her name is Annie, and she is our daughter. Annie, this is your mother."
After saying this, Zuo Si handed the little one in his arms to his nominal wife.
"Mother--"
As a quasi-divine being, little Annie was obviously able to tell who was related to her by blood, and she immediately put on a cute look and asked for a hug.
"God bless you! My dear baby! You don't know how much your mother misses you."
Aisha couldn't stop her tears from flowing, and she hugged her daughter in her arms and kissed her non-stop.
After a long while, she gradually calmed down, wiped the tears from her face, raised her head and asked in an uncertain tone: "Annie was born not long ago, how could she grow so fast? What happened to her?"
“Um… this matter is more difficult to explain.
In fact, just yesterday she was still a baby who knew nothing.
But after devouring several gods from another time and space, it suddenly grew up.
I'm not sure yet whether this is the result of devouring the gods or the result of changes in her self-awareness.
But overall it's a good thing.
At least I don't have to worry about the damage and destruction she might cause unconsciously."
Zuo Si told all he knew and guessed.
After all, it is not easy for most ordinary people to accept that a baby suddenly turns into a three-year-old girl.
"You mean, she'll grow up very quickly?"
Aisha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zuo Si nodded first, then shook his head: "No, what I mean is that her growth rate may not have anything to do with her age.
Maybe in a few days or months, Anne would look like she was eleven or twelve years old.
Maybe she will still maintain her current appearance after hundreds of years.
And I must tell you, until Anne has full control of her powers, I must keep her with me just in case."
Obviously, after solving a lot of troubles in the space-time of Seros, Zuo Si's first thought was to bring his daughter back to see his mother Aisha, and to check on the situation of his other offspring.
"Okay, I think I understand what you mean. How long do you plan to stay this time?"
Aisha gently stroked her daughter's cute face with a hint of innocence, her eyes filled with strong reluctance, but she did not express any objection.
She knew very well that little Annie would almost certainly be like her father, a powerful being with eternal life and power comparable to that of a god.
With his mortal status, he has no ability to raise and teach him, let alone deal with the aftermath when he causes a disaster.
"Well - probably for a few more days. In the meantime, Annie will be left to you. Be careful, she is not an ordinary child."
While Zuo Si was speaking, the little ancestor turned around and made a naughty face, then began to inspect the furniture, decorations, magical items, sculptures, paintings and other works of art in the palace, as well as the precious ornamental plants and small animals in the courtyard outside.
Thanks to her self-awareness and independent thinking, she has now successfully broken away from a behavior pattern that was completely driven by instinct.
The advantage is that 90 percent of the behavior becomes predictable, but the trouble is that people learn to disguise, deceive, and play tricks.
Although Zuo Si had set many restrictions with him when he came back, it was hard to say whether he would really abide by them.
Because so far, little Annie has not shown any lawful tendencies from inheriting the bloodline of the great devil. Instead, she gives people a weird and elusive feeling.
Hearing that she had gained some time alone with her daughter, Aisha immediately smiled with joy and quickly responded, "No problem, leave it to me. It's a good opportunity for the cabinet ministers and the public to take a glimpse of the imperial crown prince. Oh, by the way, what are you going to do with Anne's followers and knights?"
Zuo Si answered directly: "Don't worry, I have prepared knights and guards for her."
"Then I'm relieved. Come on, my little darling, let me take you to visit the palace and then take you to eat some delicious food, how about that?"
Aisha bent down and picked up her daughter, her tone and attitude full of doting.
"Yes! Yes!"
Little Annie clapped her hands happily, and her behavior was not much different from that of a three-year-old child.
Soon, the mother and daughter, followed by their servants, disappeared into the huge palace that was like a maze.
Zuo Si, who had been in a tense state recently, finally relaxed a little. After a short pause, he activated the teleportation magic and headed to the Kingdom of Cormyr.
…
At this moment, in the palace of this ancient feudal country established by mankind.
The Iron Princess, Yalucel, who serves as the regent, is currently lying on a soft big bed with her belly bulging, being examined by a priest while dealing with complicated and difficult government affairs.
Due to the simultaneous deaths of the heroic king and the eldest princess, the current situation of the Kingdom of Cormyr can be said to be a typical situation of internal and external troubles.
Apart from the threats from Shade City and Zhentil Keep in the north, the factional and hypocritical nobles in the country, as well as the huge debts owed, were enough to make it difficult for the royal family to move forward.
In particular, the aristocratic parliament, which holds enormous power, would spark fierce arguments and disagreements almost every time it was convened.
If it were in the past, Yalusher would have impatiently tried to use force to force the troublemaker to submit to her.
But now, not only did she not show the slightest impatience, but she methodically used her position as regent to win over those forces that were originally loyal to her father and sister.
Then, in exchange for raising the social status of the merchant class, these guys provided an interest-free loan to be used for military reorganization to quell the civil unrest that had been caused previously.
It didn't take long before the originally chaotic country gradually returned to order, and the capital finally fell completely under its control.
It can be said that Yalusel's series of performances after his return made everyone look at him with admiration.
Its political level and governance capabilities have already reached above the passing line, and can even be called excellent.
"How is it going? Is the Regent's health and the fetus all right?"
Karadne, who had just taken over the title of Royal Archmage, asked nervously.
As one of the very few people who knew the identity of the child's biological father, she was extremely nervous about the matter, fearing even the slightest accident.
"I'm sorry, but I am unable to confirm the condition of the fetus due to my limited ability. This is because an invisible energy field blocks all means of detection."
The bishop of the Earth Mother Goddess Changtiya showed a helpless expression.
"You mean..."
Karadnai's expression changed slightly, no doubt he had guessed something.
The bishop nodded slightly: "Yes.
If the father of this child is also that person, it is very likely that the child will also be born with innate divine powers.
So I suggest that it is best to notify the other party immediately, otherwise unforeseen accidents may occur.
As far as I know, the last birth caused the magic network to go out of control and even collapse in the delivery room.
It took the arrival of the Magic Goddess herself to calm the storm.
Otherwise, the great wizards and legendary wizards present might be sucked dry and die."
Hearing this, all the people in the room who knew the situation showed expressions of horror.
After all, the presence of the Magic Goddess in person is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Cormyr is not a traditional magical power. Although it has a well-known battle mage group, the overall spellcasting level is not high.
Kaladnai didn't think he could handle such a situation.
Just when she was about to say something, Yalusel suddenly interrupted her and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to examine me."
"You are very kind. It is an honor to serve the Regent."
As soon as he left, Kaladena couldn't help asking, "Have you figured out what to do? Don't tell me you're just going to drag it out like this.
By human standards, you are very close to your due date.
If something goes wrong, there’s nothing I can do.”
But Yalusail responded nonchalantly, "There's no need to be so nervous. I believe Soth will arrive by then. After all, with the experience of Aisha, he should have realized that his offspring will be very extraordinary."
"And then? How do you plan to deal with the possible dispute over inheritance between your descendants and your nephew?" Karadne asked without any disguise.
This is also a problem that all the nobles in the Kingdom of Cormyr are concerned about. If it is not handled properly, it will trigger a civil war for the right to succession to the throne.
Don't think this is a joke!
In traditional feudal countries, the right of inheritance of nobility and throne is an extension of property rights and also the foundation for maintaining bloodline rule.
Once a dispute arises, it will lead to a series of serious consequences.
Especially in Cormier's current situation where the ruler is young and the country is in doubt, it must be handled with extreme caution and decisiveness.
"I...I don't know how to deal with this either. Let's wait for Soth to come and let him make the decision."
Yalusel was particularly conflicted about this matter.
After all, she was a little unwilling to give up the throne that was so close to her, and she didn't think that her children would be willing to be inferior to her nephew in the future.
But at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to wipe out her sister's descendants.
The only thing that can be done now is to drag it out so that those nobles who are planning to advance their families through taking sides and political speculation will not dare to express their opinions easily.
"Damn it! You look like you're about to give the Kingdom of Cormyr away."
Karadne rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Yalusel asked indifferently, "So what? Anyway, this child has half of the blood of the Obaiszir family, and is legally qualified to be the heir to the Cormier royal family.
And his father is the emperor of the West Coast Empire.
If he becomes king, he can definitely lead Cormyr to become more powerful and prosperous.
Maybe you can even default on a large debt.
After all, Soth wouldn't ask his own son for a debt, right?
What's more, I can take the opportunity to extort a large amount of aid, and then we won't have to worry about a little money."
Seeing his former friend's shameless behavior, Karadne couldn't help but hold his forehead and complain: "You are really depraved, Yalusel Nakachia Obaischiel."
"Degeneration? This is not degeneration! It's making full use of one's own advantages. What's more, I am a woman. Is there anything wrong with relying on my man and the father of my children?"
There was a barely perceptible cunning glint in Yalusel's eyes.
Kaladnai shook his head slightly: "No, of course there is no problem.
I just can’t believe that the Iron Princess who was so proud and arrogant back then has become such a different person now.
To be honest, I can't believe that the emperor of the empire changed you so completely in such a short time.
This is something that even your father, Yasan IV, could not do."
“That’s because the methods and techniques they use are completely different.
My father was always just a lecturer, but Soth made me the governor, so that I could experience the process of management and governance firsthand.
He taught me that the essence of politics is to win over more people to become your allies, then suppress the minority enemies, and then force the other side to make concessions until a compromise is reached.
So you can see that after I became the regent, I have been trying to balance the forces of all parties, forcing some families to make concessions, but not pushing them into a dead end. "
As he spoke, Yalusel stamped a few letters with the seal symbolizing the kingdom's regent and threw them on the bedside table beside him.
The servant waiting nearby immediately picked up the letters and handed them to the messenger outside, who then delivered them to the designated person.
Just as the messenger was riding away at a rapid speed, violent spatial shock suddenly occurred in this room where all magical teleportation was originally prohibited.
Kaladnai was the first to notice this, and he instantly felt as if he was facing a great enemy. While sounding the alarm, he raised the most powerful magic item in his hand.
But just a few seconds later she lifted the alarm and her tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Because the person who was teleported right after him was none other than Zuo Si.
"Welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Karadnei hastily lowered his head and knelt in salute, his hands hidden in his wide robes trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Because she controlled the palace's magic barrier, she could clearly feel the terrifying magical energy unintentionally emitted by the young man in front of her, as well as the extremely complex and huge magical protection and maze surrounding his body.
It even completely covered the protective barrier within the palace the moment it appeared.
Although he had never seen the Goddess of Magic in person, Karadne felt that even if the Goddess of Magic came in person, it would be no more than this.
"You seem to be in good spirits?"
Zuo Si looked with interest at his princess lover who was lying on the bed with a big belly.
"Of course. After all, I am now the regent of the Kingdom of Cormyr and have the same power as the king."
Yalusel held up his signet ring and shook it gently with a smile.
"Why did you come back to be the regent? You should know that the Kingdom of Cormyr is a complete mess."
Zuo Si walked straight to the bedside and lifted the quilt. He placed his hands on his bulging belly as if no one was around, and used his divine power to detect the fetus inside.
As a result, after passing through a strongly interfering energy field, he discovered a huge black shadow under arcane vision.
It's not negative energy! It's not shadow energy! It's pure darkness.
In the center of the darkness, there was a vague outline wriggling.
There is no doubt that, like little Annie, this offspring is also a living being that does not have a fixed form for the time being.
Yalusail smoothed the hair hanging down beside his ears and responded calmly: "Because this country is the hard work of my father and sister, I can't watch it decline and even split and perish.
What's more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Don’t you want your child to be king? By the way, what happened to the baby in my belly? "
"Not bad, although it may not be what you imagined."
Zuo Si left a mark of his own on the bulging belly with his fingers.
This allows him to monitor the fetus's condition in real time and sense immediately during labor and unexpected situations.
"Just like Aisha's child?"
There was a strong curiosity in Yalusel's eyes.
“Well, almost, but not quite the same.
Because when Annie was born, she was a ball of energy in a high dimension, and then began to change back and forth between different forms.
It was only recently that she finally stabilized and turned into a girl who looks about three years old.
Your child is a more abstract darkness.
I'm not sure what he will look like when he is born.
But don't worry, I'll be back in time."
Zuo Si covered the quilt again, bent down and kissed the other person's forehead to express closeness and comfort.
"dark?!"
Karadne keenly grasped a key word.
Zuo Si patiently explained: "How should I put it, it's a bit like some kind of abstract shadow or dark shadow.
But we won’t know exactly what it is until it is born.
In addition, considering the safety issue, I suggest that it is best to keep all spell casters away on the day of delivery.
Set up an anti-magic zone if necessary."
"Understood. I'll arrange it."
Karadnei looked thoughtful, and then immediately asked, "What plans do you have regarding the succession to the throne of Cormyr?"
"Is that even a question?"
Zuo Si raised his head and looked into the eyes of the young chief wizard, feeling a little relieved.
moment!
Kaladnai was sweating profusely and felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head, making it hard for him to breathe.
It took a full minute for the oppressive feeling to disappear. She leaned against the wall without any image, breathing heavily, and finally asked, suppressing the fear in her heart, "How are you going to deal with the infant Yasang V? Kill him?"
"I'm not a demon, don't think I'm that cruel and bloodthirsty.
And there is no need to kill a baby who knows nothing.
When Yalusel and I's child is born, we can send Yasan V to another relatively prosperous and safe world, where he can live out his life with a completely different identity.
He will have a happy family, with adoptive parents and siblings who treat him as their own although they are not related by blood.
How about it, are you satisfied with the result?"
Zuo Si raised his hand and cast an illusion magic, fully displaying his arrangements.
Seeing this scene, both Kaladena and Yalusel quickly relaxed a lot.
Because this is exactly what they can all accept.
Being able to complete the transition of royal power in this bloodless way is undoubtedly an ideal state.
Kaladenai was even more afraid that Zuo Si would change his mind, so she quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's do as you say. And how long will it take for Yalusel to give birth?"
"I'm not sure. Because she's not carrying an ordinary human fetus. It could be a few weeks at the least, or three to five months at the most. This result is based on Aisha's gestation period, so it's hard to say whether it's accurate or not."
After a little thought, Zuo Si gave a rough deadline.
"So what name do you want to give it?"
Yalusel asked with a smile on his face.
"No. I have to at least confirm the gender of the child first, and then decide what name to give it. Of course, if you think of a nice or meaningful name at that time, you can decide on your own. I am still very open-minded in this regard."
In saying this, Zuo Si displayed a tolerance that was completely inconsistent with his tyrannical temperament.
Although strictly speaking he was not the kind of person who had difficulty coming up with a name, he also had no interest in naming everything around him.
Especially when it comes to naming a child, he always feels that the mother, who has contributed the most and endured the most pain, should actually have more say.
"Are you sure?"
Yalusel showed an expression of great surprise.
After all, although the Kingdom of Cormyr is relatively equal between men and women, and even women can inherit property and noble titles, it is still a typical patriarchal society in essence.
Things like naming are basically decided by men, unless the woman marries into the family or is the head of the household.
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: "Yes, I am very sure. And this child will inherit the surname of Obaiszir and become the king of Cormyr in the future. It is best for you to decide."
"Thank you very much! Now I kind of understand why Yalusel is so obsessed with you."
Karadne obviously understood what kind of political signal this meant, and hurriedly bent down and bowed to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know and I can satisfy you immediately."
Zuo Si made a straightforward promise.
"Can you forgive all the debts previously owed by the Royal Family of Cormyr?"
Yalusail asked in a half-joking tone.
"Of course. I can also give you a bill of exchange from the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth, Waukeen, worth five million gold coins, which can be cashed at any time."
As he spoke, Zuo Si used his divine power to create a bill of exchange with his own mark on it out of thin air and placed it on the bedside.
Given his current close alliance with Woking, let alone a mere five million, even adding a few zeros would not be a problem.
After all, with Dark Lord Grazzt as his cash cow, a mere five million gold coins could be earned in just a day or two.
You know, there are so many women who want to have his child, or men who want to make him pregnant.
"Five...five million?!"
Karadnei's eyes widened in disbelief.
Because of this money, many things that were impossible to do before can now be done easily.
For example, reorganizing armaments, providing food necessary for survival to civilians who lost their homes in the war, repairing damaged castles and fortresses, allowing soldiers to wear better armor and protective gear, etc.
"Don't be so surprised, money and every resource you can imagine are almost unlimited to me.
The so-called wealth is nothing more than a string of meaningless monetized numbers.
If you want, I can even move a piece of gold equal in volume to the continent of Faerun in an instant.
I also brought back some indestructible metal called vibranium.
You can try to craft some weapons or armor."
Zuo Si casually took out hundreds of heavy vibranium bars and piled them into a small hill emitting a faint glow in the room.
With the Kingdom of Cormyr actually under his control, there was naturally no need to hide it any more. He could directly start strengthening the power of the royal family and let those rustic nobles have a good taste of what the iron fist of despotism is.
Want to stir up trouble to weaken the power of the royal family?
Gain more power and political influence through private collusion? Come and try it if you are not afraid of death! Influenced by Zuo Si, Yalusail, who advocates centralization, is not the indecisive Yasan IV.
When she has enough military power, she really dares to raise the butcher knife to uproot the entire aristocracy, make those ancient families who claim to have a long history disappear forever, confiscate their property and land, and ultimately achieve the goal of permanently changing the feudal system of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
"Indestructible? Do you mean that these metals have the same properties as adamantium?"
Kaladnai picked up one of the pieces and cast a detection spell.
“No, vibranium is far stronger than adamantium.
And it can absorb almost all heat, energy and kinetic energy.
In other words, you can use it to create armor to resist magical attacks from the evocation department.
I think an elite army wearing vibranium armor, holding vibranium weapons and shields is definitely enough to deal with most of the enemies inside and outside the Kingdom of Cormyr."
After saying that, Zuo Si turned sideways and glanced at the amount of vibranium in the room.
According to his estimate, this was enough to arm a nearly invulnerable army of about a thousand men.
Apart from the need to be careful with control spells and directional spells, you can also hold your own even when fighting against giants and dragons.
