Although this insidious and cunning man always appears to be very close to Manson, in his heart he is a calculating and ruthless guy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In Xi Manmeng's eyes, everyone around him is a tool that can be manipulated, used and betrayed, even his own teacher.

It’s just that in the past, Manson could give much more than what Fuzoul Chanbury could give, so he would loyally work for the former.

"Everyone in this world has a price.

I have it, you have it, and my teacher has it too.

It’s just that some people’s prices are higher and some people’s prices are lower.

Since the teacher has become an obstacle to the continued development of the entire organization, why not trade him out to gain a strong ally before his price drops?

After all, we all know that the Church of Cyric will definitely make a comeback."

When Xi Manmeng said these words, his tone was so calm and calm, and there was no hint of guilt or compulsion at all.

Since abandoning his personal worship of Manson, he has obviously become more terrifying, and has a vague potential to become a strong man.

Fuzoul Chanbury pursed his lips and smiled and agreed: "You are right. But Manson is not easy to deal with. We must be careful."

"Don't worry, I already have a detailed plan. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to deal with the teacher once and for all by working together internally and externally. The most important thing is how to make Soth believe in our sincerity and ensure that he will not kill us directly after we show up."

At the thought of facing Zuo Si again, Xi Manmeng was obviously a little unsure.

Because the strength gap between the two sides is so big that they may be instantly killed by high-level spells such as [Time Stop] and [Great Disintegration] without even having a chance to speak.

"Don't be afraid. I will accompany you this time." Fuzuoer Chambery promised without hesitation.

"You?" Xi Manmeng was stunned for a moment.

In his impression, the voters of Bane, the god of tyranny, have always been like Manson, known for their cautiousness, and almost never expose themselves to powerful enemies.

Fuzoul Chamberry explained with a half-smile: "Because I suddenly discovered that this young man named Soth seems to have the potential to become a tyrant. If he can be drawn over from the goddess of magic, then the entire Northland

Even the west coast of Faerûn will become our allies. Maybe we can also take this opportunity to forcefully promote Bane's faith and resurrect the god we serve."

There is no doubt that finding tyrants, cultivating tyrants, and becoming the most trusted right-hand man around the tyrant has always been the highest principle upheld by the Benn Church.

Every pastor and believer will do their best to find those around them who have the potential to become tyrants and train them.

At that time, Sammaster, the chosen one of the goddess of magic, was discovered by a priest of Ben that he had the potential to become a tyrant, so he followed him and continued to bewitch him until he completely fell into madness and founded the Dragon Worship Cult.

Although the priest criticized Fuzor Chambery for his apparent conversion to the son of the god Bane, in their hearts the two of them had the same belief in the god of tyranny.

"What? Are you crazy!" Xi Manmeng was stunned.

"No, I'm not crazy, and I'm more sane than ever before. Believe me, if this plan succeeds, then we will cultivate an unprecedentedly powerful tyrant, even enough to make the whole world tremble. Just imagine, Ben will be resurrected by that time

How powerful and invincible will grace become? Then we will all be rewarded in unimaginable ways."

Fuzoll Chambery described the bright prospects of the future with a voice full of excitement.

Perhaps in front of other Bane believers, this trick can make them willing to pay the price of their lives.

But instead of being moved, Xi Manmeng became extremely vigilant.

Because every time Fuzoul Chamberry starts to draw a pie, it means that he is secretly planning another ulterior conspiracy.

In the end, the two reluctantly reached a cooperation agreement.

Manzon, who was busy consolidating his position, did not realize that the previous turmoil at the top of the Zhentarim was just a smoke bomb deliberately thrown out to attract his attention. The real fatal thing was yet to come.

……

At the same time, with the situation in Luskan getting back on track, Zuo Si finally left the city and returned to Amn's capital, Askatra.

Since he had a thorough grasp of the waters that most trade routes on the West Coast needed to pass through, the six-person council immediately held discussions with him for two to three hours, and then finalized a series of plans including military, political, trade, transportation and commerce.

cooperation.

As a typical business empire, Amn's senior leaders have always paid great attention to ensuring the smooth flow of their trade routes.

Otherwise, we would not spend a large amount of money to maintain a large-scale navy that is not very useful.

However, when they saw that the last large-scale pirate group had been completely wiped out and there was no longer any serious threat on the entire sea, they came up with the idea of ​​selling the fleet to save money.

Anyway, as long as you pay a protection fee of 10% of the value of the goods, merchant ships can sail in Luskan, Neverwinter, Baldur's Gate, Waterdeep, Mulan, Zazespur, Mylatmar, Memnon, and Calimport

When important ports and trade hubs can move freely, there will be no need to maintain a navy.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to sell them all and exchange them for merchant ships to make money?

If there is a military need, you can directly spend a sum of money to hire the fleet of Nelanser Islands at that time.

The short-sightedness of capital and businessmen is perfectly reflected in these guys.

And as a gift from this deal, Amn will also package two shipyards used for building large battleships together with their craftsmen and send them out as gifts.

Of course Zuo Si would not refuse such a good thing coming to his door.

After all, after annexing Luskan, his sphere of influence expanded to the Far North, and the area of ​​sea area that needed to be maintained safe almost doubled, which is when more warships were needed.

So after paying some sucrose, both parties were happy to reach the deal.

The six-person council believed that they had taken advantage of it. Not only had they thrown away a heavy burden, but they had also exchanged it for the luxury product that is currently the most profitable - sugar.

Zuo Si, on the other hand, used sugar without any cost in exchange for the battleship that his forces most urgently needed.

You must know that Amn's warship is a standard sailing warship. Its structure and appearance are very close to the Karak sailing ship suitable for ocean voyages. Otherwise, it would not be qualified to develop the Maztec continent on the other side of the sea.

In this way, the six-person Council of Amn completely handed over the power to determine its own trade and merchant ship safety into Zuo Si's hands.

Because the astonishing profits brought by the specialties of the Maztec continent drove them completely crazy, they urgently needed to build more merchant ships to ensure that they could seize the market as much as possible before other countries and forces discovered the New World routes.

As for the warships that not only have no way to create profits, but also have to spend money constantly, they will roll as far as they can.

The most important thing is that warships are very troublesome to build and maintain. They often need to occupy shipyards, which slows down the construction and maintenance of merchant ships.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the six-member council made an extremely bold decision.

In their view, Zuo Si has long been deeply tied to Amn's interests and is 100% "one of his own", so the risks are completely within control.

When walking out of the municipal building with this agreement, Vanessa, a lich, couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I can't believe that the six-person council is so short-sighted that it would push forward at such a critical moment.

A handful.

Your Excellency, all maritime trade channels in the west of Faerûn are now in our hands.

It not only means huge wealth, but also means control of channels and expansion of political influence.

In fact, we are now an important cornerstone for cities and countries on the West Coast to maintain their own stability.

If you encounter any trouble, they will do their best to help.

Because by helping us, they are helping themselves.

You know, I originally thought that it would take at least ten or twenty years to achieve the strategy I originally formulated.

But who would have thought that it could be accomplished in less than two years."

Zuo Si responded nonchalantly: "This is why I keep reminding you to never let too many businessmen interfere in politics.

Because as long as it can obtain more profits, this group has no bottom line.

Once the benefits obtained cannot satisfy the appetites of these nobles and wealthy businessmen, they will start a fight themselves.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that Amn will definitely decline in the near future, or even fall into endless civil strife.

By the way, I asked you to send people to take over the concessions and strongholds left by the red-robed mages. How is it going now?"

"I have given full authority to Habaser Delin.

As you know, he has always been resentful because the red-robed mage set up a concession in Baldur's Gate and took away business, so he volunteered to take on this task.

If nothing else, the magic scrolls, potions and other items produced within the organization have now replaced the red-robed wizards and become the main magic suppliers everywhere.

At the same time, you can also use these channels to acquire a lot of interesting things and materials.

I think Habaser Delin is very suitable for this kind of work, so why not just leave this stall to him to take charge of running it."

When this matter was mentioned, Vanessa suddenly showed a playful expression.

To a certain extent, the reason why Habathur Delin made up his mind to join the organization is really thanks to the red robe mage and the Duke of Silver Shield who introduced the red robe mage.

"Place the right people in the right jobs. It seems that you have mastered the essence of management. Let's go, it's time to see what is gestating in Badi's belly."

After that, Zuo Si took the lead and walked towards the cemetery area.

Since the sky has completely darkened at this moment, the entire cemetery area of ​​Ascaltra is quiet.

Except for a few people responsible for night patrols, there were basically no living people to be seen.

Like most places where corpses are buried in Faerûn, these vigils and patrols are mainly to prevent people from stealing the burial objects in the tombs, or simply stealing the corpses and transforming them into undead creatures.

According to historical records, several terrorist attacks caused by necromancers usually started near cemeteries.

Because only here are there enough corpses for their resurrection.

Therefore, the most important duty of the night watch and patrol personnel is to provide early warning, ensuring that no matter what happens, the defenders and major temples in the city can be aware of it as soon as possible.
