This is why I can control the mysteries of Sword Coast and Sword Sea.

In contrast, Luskan is on the edge of the Far North. Although it also has a huge demand for shipping, it mainly faces the terrible cold in winter.

So I built a magnificent statue for the Winter Goddess Aurel in the largest temple in Luskan, the Winter Hall, to ensure that the temperature every winter can be maintained in a relatively tolerable range, while shortening the ice period.

, so that we can engage in more agricultural and handicraft production activities.

To put it simply, I think gods are no different from mortals to a certain extent. As long as they understand and meet their needs, they can make transactions that are beneficial to both parties.

Of course, the premise is that there must be sufficient strength and capital."

"Understand and meet God's requirements, and then make deals with them..."

An unnoticeable horror flashed across Xia En VII's eyes for an instant, and he also realized what the young man standing in front of him really had towards the gods.

That is not looking up like yourself, but facing the gods directly with an equal attitude.

Otherwise, you would never use the word "transaction", but should use "enshrine" and "give".

But soon, the undead emperor regained his composure and said in a slightly playful tone: "I now believe more and more that after integrating Amn, Calimshan, Tethyr and Baldur's Gate, Siha

After the Trand region, you can build an unprecedented great empire and push it to an unprecedented height."

"Maybe, who knows what will happen in the future."

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Davian and Apke walking in from outside.

Behind them were several followers, dragging five huge sacks in. Many of them were stained black and red with blood.

After Apke came in without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground and presented a list with both hands. He reported with joy: "Your Majesty! According to your instructions, I have destroyed all the lairs of the thieves guilds in Calim Port.

, and captured all their main members in one fell swoop. Here are the quantities of various weapons, equipment, potions, magic items, gems and other materials seized. Please take a look."

"Well done!"

Xia En VII took the list and glanced at it, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.

After hundreds of years of development and growth, these thieves' guilds have already become a decisive force in Calimport. They can even compete with the nobles and merchant classes and play a pivotal position in the game of power.

Therefore, the wealth they possess is far more amazing than the outside world imagines.

Some old-fashioned thieves guilds that have existed for two or three hundred years even have millions of gold coins in cash stored in underground treasure houses, which is no less than those powerful dragons that have already made a name for themselves.

After all, Calimport is a "super metropolis" ranked among the entire Faerûn continent, with a permanent population of 200,000.

This does not include the merchants, travelers, adventurers and huge numbers of slaves traveling from north to south.

Many thieves guilds can make a lot of money just by collecting protection fees from merchants, vendors, hotels, taverns, brothels, and theaters.

Not to mention that protection fees can only be regarded as the most insignificant part of the Thieves Guild's numerous incomes.

In addition, they also control theft, robbery, burglary, human trafficking, kidnapping and extortion, various forms of gambling, slave wrestling and narcotics businesses on their territory, and are engaged in various contraband and high-profit commodities.

smuggling.

Due to its long history and long development time, coupled with the prosperous business environment, the Thieves Guild in Calimport is far more playful than the Shadow Thieves of Amn. Even the famous mafia on earth is weak compared to them.

Exploded.

Looking at the seven or eight hundred years of history since the end of the Xia En Dynasty, we will know how rampant and unscrupulous they were during this period.

Of the total of one hundred and seventy emperors, nearly half were killed by assassinations from the Thieves Guild.

More than 340 governors were dismembered alive because they refused the cooperation proposal proposed by the leader of the Thieves Guild, and their heads were hung in the most conspicuous place for public display.

Even the commanders of the city defense army and the imperial guard were brutally killed.

In the craziest era when order collapsed and law was ineffective, some powerful thieves guild leaders could even mobilize an army of tens of thousands of people with a single order.

However, with the rise of the Entangled Talisman, the Thieves Guild was gradually infiltrated and controlled, and they inevitably became playthings in the hands of lich and vampires.

"Your Majesty, I also brought the heads of the leaders of the Thieves Guild. Do you want to take a look?" Apke asked cautiously.

Xia En VII shook his head without thinking: "No, just take it out and find a place to bury it or throw it away. They are not worthy of letting me see it in person."

"Got it."

Apke quickly turned around and winked at his men.

The latter immediately understood and immediately dragged the two bloody sacks out, but there were still three sacks left in place.

Xia En VII obviously noticed this and immediately raised his head and asked: "What are in these three bags?"

Just when Apke was about to give an answer, Davian jumped in and said: "These three bags are filled with people, and they are my gifts to the master."

"People? Gifts?"

Xia En VII was stunned for a moment, then showed a curious expression and quickly turned his gaze to Zuo Si.

Zuo Si was also confused at this moment, and immediately gave the Flame Dragon Knight a gesture to open the bag.

Without saying a word, Davian quickly tore open the sack with his bare hands and terrifying brute force.

In the blink of an eye, three unlucky guys with all their limbs disabled appeared in the center of the palace.

When he saw Zuo Si's face, which was almost unchanged from the dark elf form, Jarlaxle immediately realized that his previous guess was correct. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it! I was raped by Benshaba, the goddess of misfortune.

Is it cursed? How come I still bump into you when I come to the surface!"

"Haha, this only shows that we are destined to be together. But you look really embarrassed now, dear Jarlaxle." Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh and tease.

He really didn't expect that he would receive such a surprise at the end of his trip to Caling Port.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me a good time. Anyway, at this point, I don't expect you to let me live." Jarlaxle urged with a look of death.

But Zuo Si stretched out a finger and shook it gently, and said with a half-smile: "No, no, no, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. I never meant to kill people like you.

, it would be too wasteful to kill them directly.”

"You want me to work for you?"

Jarlaxle raised his head suddenly, his eyes clearly showing a strong desire to survive.

After all, who wants to die if they can still live?

Especially for a dark elf like him who doesn't believe in the spider goddess Rose, who knows how his soul will be tortured if it falls into the hands of this evil goddess.

What's more, he has done too many things like betrayal.

You can pretend to obey first, and then find an opportunity to escape when the other party relaxes their vigilance.

Of course, even without using any spells to detect Jarlaxle's mental activities at the moment, Zuo Si could roughly guess, so he immediately raised the corner of his mouth and responded in a slightly joking tone: "That's right, I

I do want you to work for me. But maybe it’s not the way you understand.”

"What do you mean?"

Jarlaxle frowned subconsciously, suddenly having a bad premonition.

"Before discussing this matter, shouldn't you introduce the person next to me first?" Zuo Si pointed to Entreri next to him.

After all, he had seen the female monk who was a mixture of dark elf and ogre before in Menzoberranzan, but this was the first time he had seen this special-looking human being.

"Master, he is the legendary killer of the Calimport Thieves Guild—Artemis Entreri."

Davian bluntly reported the identity of the killer.

Upon hearing this name, Zuo Si's eyes instantly lit up, and he began to look at the other person up and down with a very strange look. After a while, he asked: "Artemis Entreri, haven't you become independent from Dayet?" Are you a mercenary group? Why do you want to follow Jarlaxle into this muddy water?"

"Because I owe him a favor and I must repay it." Entreri answered in a tone without any emotion.

"That's it."

Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully.

As we all know, except for those low-class ruffians, any truly self-respecting strong person, whether good or evil, will never owe others a favor without repaying it.

Entreri may be vicious and ruthless, but he is also a proud and arrogant guy.

This can be seen from the fact that he wanted to compete with Drizzt more than once.

So if Jarlaxle uses repaying the favor as a bargaining chip, he will definitely be able to recruit this notorious killer.

After thinking about this, Zuo Si gave Davian a wink directly.

The latter immediately raised his sandbag-sized fists and hit the three prisoners on the head twice, knocking them unconscious.

Seeing that the three prisoners had lost consciousness, Zuo Si cast the seven-ring magic [Regeneration] to first grow back Entreri's severed limbs, and then healed the fractures for Jarlaxle and the unknown monk. arms and legs.

After finishing all this, he activated the power of sparks in front of Shane VII and Apke, and directly made a group summoning creature card.

[Biology card: Good gay friends (love and kill each other)]
