Natural green.

Probably because of the tax-free policy of this trading city, even in these turbulent times, not only has the place remained prosperous, it has even continued to prosper. (After seeing the previous message, I asked why it is tax-free and how to maintain the army and municipal administration. Mainly.

..The development of various industries in the kingdom is all joint, and those who dominate it under various names are all from Isaac's side. No matter how much tax there is, it is not as huge as this absolute monopoly. In addition, the tax exemption is only this

A city, not an entire kingdom.)

It seems that this place is already a real trading capital!

The Grand Canyon alone can no longer accommodate this expanding city.

Not only outside the canyon, but also the east and west fissure mountains are also under construction planning.

A continuous motorcade flows on the spacious road.

Businessmen in colorful robes, elite guards with standard combat preparations, various adventurers, and more settled residents...

Among them, the human race undoubtedly occupies the absolute mainstream, but there are also quite a few dwarves and halflings. From time to time, you can also see adventurers such as half-elves and half-orcs, and indispensable those who

Street performers, poets and singers, and even red-skinned tieflings appear...

To maintain order in the entire city, it is the City Guards with dragon-shaped kobolds as the core, as well as the Public Security Bureau, which has a certain degree of involvement in various large chambers of commerce.

The Public Security Bureau is in charge of public security.

The city guards...

"The city library is also the church of the God of Knowledge..."

A gorgeous carriage drove slowly along the city avenue.

There was another group of ten tattooed warriors, guarding the carriage with expressionless faces.

These warriors... let’s not say whether they are powerful or not, but they all possess an indescribable ferocity!

Just by looking at them, it seemed as if one could directly see the murderous nature of these people, as if each one of them crawled out of the hell of a sea of ​​blood.

This also allowed the teams on the left, right, front and rear to keep a large distance from it.

Of course, when such a team enters the natural green, even if it has an order of passage, it will inevitably have a whole team of elite kobolds, as well as two fully armored trolls, "guarding" behind them.

Inside the carriage.

I don't really care about this "escort".

An old man in a gorgeous red robe looked through the gauze curtains at this bustling city.

When he saw that the most magnificent building in the center of the city was actually a library with the sacred emblem of knowledge, a thoughtful look flashed in his black eyes filled with profound knowledge.

.

A green dragon who could build such a kingdom was worthy of a visit on his way.

This same green dragon actually values ​​knowledge so much...

While observing, the carriage turned and drove into a castle adjacent to the mountainous area.

Behind the castle, in the direction of the mountainous area, a very large area is still under construction on a large scale.

"Zurkes!"

In the castle, led by Kalia, several red-robed mages who had been waiting respectfully immediately bowed down with their hands clasped together.

Their warrior servant even knelt on the ground.

…

"Torre Champion Fighter!"

"Every Torre fighter is the strongest and most brutal warrior who has achieved consecutive victories in the Death Arena of the Red Robe Mage Association before being able to obtain the red robe mentor instilling mysterious power with magic patterns and completing the advancement ceremony.

Gladiator!"

"And the champion fighter is the strongest among these gladiators!"

"A whole team of champion fighters will be escorted... I'm afraid one of the red-robed chiefs has arrived!"

The arrival of the Torre people was quickly followed by a request for a visit, which was conveyed to the City of Shadows by the First Loyal Servant.

And there was Barrett who came over at about the same time as the First Servant.

The Shadow Assassin Group is deeply involved in the Kingdom's Security Bureau, so it is impossible for Barrett to ignore the arrival of the Torre people.

In fact, he personally watched the team enter the red robe envoy area.

It was precisely because of this that he rushed over immediately.

The red-robed chief is accompanied by a team of champion fighters to protect him...

However, there was a little interest in Isaac's eyes. He looked at Barrett and suddenly asked: "What major events have happened in the north recently?"

Such a team could be made two months late, but he was quite curious as to why!

"Needless to say, Amn, although Villa has some connections with one of the six-member councils, it is still too early to completely take over that place and drive away the Zhentarim."

"There are a lot of things going on over there in the Sword Coast. It is rumored that the descendant has appeared in the Moon House in Waterdeep City. Further north, there seems to be traces of the Black-blooded Beast King."

"The Silver Moon Alliance has calmed down a bit during this period. However, there seems to be rumors that dark elves have broken through the Mystery Lock protection and are already occupying Cormanthor, which was abandoned by those elves."

Barrett talked about the information about the Northland while pondering what Isaac said.

Isaac pondered for a moment, shaking his head slowly in his heart.

These... seem to have nothing to do with Hongpao!

Forget it, he didn't need to think too much. When he met the mysterious red-robed man who still hadn't revealed his identity even after asking for a visit, he would have a way to find out.

Isaac looked at the first loyal servant aside: "Make arrangements, I will meet him at Dragon Castle tomorrow!"

Nearly half a year has passed, and now he has a deep enough understanding of the Hongpao Trading Concession.

To a certain extent, this policy even means a change in the foreign policy of the Torre people.

Moreover, at least this faction does have something wrong with the Witch King family of the Bonn Federation!

Otherwise, even if he had the "pseudo-legendary talisman", how could he... well, he would still let them enter the field, at least he would get the talisman first before talking about anything else!

The first loyal servant immediately accepted the order and left.

Isaac talked to Barrett for a while, and contacted Blackwoods. After a while of arrangements, he retreated into his brain-shaped castle again.

With Nao Chi as the core, his petri dish is complete!

Not only himself, but even the two shadow dragon hatchlings, Start and Rodnik, who had been hatched, actually had the true names of the dragon clan, and were directly controlled by them with oath binding, he did not let go.

Three clones are already being cultured.

…

The second day soon arrived.

Dragon's Castle.

Isaac, who never minded giving people more respect, arrived early as always.

However, the red robes did not slow down.

He arrived here for a while.

Soon, under the personal guidance of the first loyal servant, he came through a portal.

Accompanied by two tattooed warriors, Miliya personally accompanied him carefully and respectfully.

An archmage wearing a crimson robe and a gorgeous red cloak, who looked very old but very energetic and whose black eyes were always shining, was stepping in.

Although this archmage is stern and has gorgeous equipment, especially in front of Isaac's Eye of True Knowledge, the intensity of the magical aura of his equipment is even inferior to that of Teacher Satan.

However, this person has the kind of polite demeanor that only scholars have just now!

The first time I saw this person...

Isaac's heart couldn't help but move. For a moment, this person actually gave him a bearing that was very similar to that of Satan!

The same profound knowledge, the same powerful magic power, the same...skinny as a skeleton!

Yes, although this person looks like a tall old scholar, his eyes of true knowledge can tell that he is a real lich!

so……

"Sazastan!"

In my mind, I quickly had some direction about this person's identity.

At the same time, it was much more solemn than at any previous moment.

If it is really this person, he deserves his solemnity!

"Dear King Red, respected Majesty Isaac, allow me to introduce to you, this is the regent of the Torre Kingdom, the most noble and powerful of the eight chiefs, Zulx, His Majesty Sazastan!

"

The red-robed female mage took a step forward gently from the side.

In her voice, Isaac felt "sure enough" in his heart.
