Is it because you are too stressed and don’t get enough rest?

Even if you become a lich, you still need to relax appropriately.

Otherwise, even if the body is not exhausted, the spirit will be exhausted."

Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be shocked and expressed his concern and greetings in a very unflattering tone.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were very good friends.

"Why are you doing this? I don't remember any sin against you anywhere! I don't have any conflict of interest with you!" Sazastan asked in a deep voice.

Hearing these words, Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh, and asked while laughing: "Is there any inevitable connection between this?

Could it be that Agolalon and Leatherman have offended you?

What conflict of interest does it have with you?

But you haven't ordered your red-robed mages to invade it more than once, trying to annex the land there and turn all the locals into slaves.

So don’t talk as if you have been wronged or treated unfairly.

I am acting according to the code of conduct of your red-robed mage.

What's more, the person who leaked the news was Fuzor Chambery and the Zhentarim controlled by him. What does that have to do with me?

If you are dissatisfied, you can complain or vent to him.

After all, when we conduct transactions, there is no rule against leaking information.

In addition, the fact that so many people want to snatch the Eye of the Storm just proves its value.

You can get it in exchange for two artifacts and a three-wish ring, and you will make a lot of money."

"Pfft hahahaha!"

It was obviously the first time for Xinbu to see his rival suffer such a huge loss and still be unable to utter a single word. He was laughing so hard.

"But what good will it do to you to do this kind of thing?"

Sazastan suppressed his anger and continued to ask.

He is eager to understand the motives behind the other party's actions and the possible harm to himself.

You must know that when things have developed to this point, they have already far exceeded the scope of the initial expectations and are spiraling out of control.

Especially the favor of the wizard king Larocco is not so easy to owe.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied: "There are too many benefits for me.

For example, I successfully diverted everyone's attention from Baldur's Gate and West Heartland to Cyre, especially you.

Didn’t the mage named Irenikas beside you give up paying attention to the Son of Baal and come all the way here to extract divine power from the Eye of the Storm to complete the feat of becoming a god?

Moreover, Elminster and the Harpers have to focus on dealing with you instead of disrupting my plan.

Another example is to test how many legendary mages who are interested in becoming gods are hidden on the continent of Faerun, as well as their strength and trump cards.

In this regard, it has obviously exceeded expectations.

After all, even Larok, the wizard king who has been dormant for thousands of years, has appeared."

Speaking of this, Zuo Si deliberately paused for a few seconds and bowed to the strongest spellcaster in the Netheril era who was not far away and was wearing a gorgeous magic robe.

The two points of cold light in Laroque's eyes kept flashing, and then he returned the gift gracefully.

Obviously, although he lives in seclusion in the Tomb of the Warlock, he is not completely ignorant of the situation in the outside world.

Quite the opposite!

Through various channels and controlled individuals and organizations, the Grand Arcanist has learned about the identity of Planeswalker Zuo Si, as well as the major events that the latter participated in after coming to Faerûn.

The most important thing is that he keenly observed the black and white puppy that followed its owner closely, which was the Chaos Dog Demon Kozif.

People who can 100% control this ancient evil will be a little afraid of even the gods.

But the angry Sazastan did not notice this, and threatened himself: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate after the incident?"

Zuo Si asked contemptuously: "Retaliation?

How do you plan to take revenge?

Indiscriminate massacre of civilians under my rule?

Or release a magical plague on my territory and use their corpses to transform the undead on a large scale?

Or directly release legendary spells to flatten several cities and their populations?

Believe me, anything you can think of and do, I can redouble it in Sale, and even wipe this country and the Red Robe Mage Organization off the map.

I have many means at my disposal, enough to destroy a world, and enough power to make even the gods fearful.

The revenge you think is very destructive is not worth mentioning in my eyes.

The most important thing is that you don’t understand me at all, let alone my thoughts and values.

Do you know?

The reason why most people value family, friendship, and love is essentially a sense of participation brought about by giving, and the sense of participation increases the sense of value.

If a person wants to make others like themselves more, the best way is to find ways to force others to pay more for themselves, eventually creating a giver plot.

This is just like in most cases, parents always like their children more than children like their parents.

Because parents spend more time, energy and money on their children.

The same principle can be extended to other aspects.

Even if there are two trees or two pots of flowers, you will always prefer the one that you water, fertilize and take care of every day, rain or shine.

You have spent your efforts and emotions on it.

Even if it is not as strong as another tree or as brightly blooming as another flower, you will find countless reasons to convince yourself that this is your favorite and has extraordinary meaning to you.

The root cause is that if you deny something that you have poured your heart and soul into, it is equivalent to denying your own contribution.

This will cause a huge psychological imbalance.

But emotionally, no intelligent creature likes the feeling brought by imbalance.

Therefore, when a person hears someone slandering the idols and gods he worships, he will do his best to defend them, even at the cost of his precious life.

The so-called free will is actually a false proposition from the beginning. It is too easy to be manipulated by people who have mastered the skills and tricks.

For example, I took advantage of your obsession with becoming a god and gave the Eye of the Storm to you through trading.

Perhaps at the beginning, you just felt that you had taken a big advantage and got the most important item to become a god so easily, even ignoring the huge potential danger it brought.

But when you pay higher and higher costs and invest countless emotions and expectations in order to keep the eye of the storm in your hand from being snatched away by other competitors, you fall into the trap you have weaved for yourself.

Extricate yourself.

But I’m different!

During my apprenticeship, I was forced by my mentor to make many sacrifices in this regard, and I completed a special transformation both mentally and psychologically.

Do you think I would succumb to some threat just because I care about it after spending so much time and effort building a huge empire?

Naive!

I would be very happy to play a game called revenge to see who can't hold on first.

For me, there is nothing in this world that I cannot let go of, and there is nothing or anyone that can become my weakness.

If one day you feel that you have caught my weakness, then please be careful, because it is very likely to be a fatal trap."

As these words blurted out, Sazastan felt that his whole body was enveloped by a chill. He lowered his head and looked at the eye of the storm, revealing a strong struggle.

Even though he is a lich, he has long lost the concept of "cold".

Not only Sazastan, Sammaster, Irenekas and several voters of the Magic Goddess also showed nervous and solemn expressions.

Because they suddenly realized that Zuo Si, who has insight into people's hearts and human nature and has no weaknesses, is really terrible.

After a long silence, Larocque was the first to break the silence, raised his hands with only bones left, and began to applaud: "A very insightful explanation!

You used the most cold and heartless words to clearly point out the logic behind those actions that are regarded as good, just and noble.

All actions of mortals are actually derived from the increase in value brought about by participation, as well as the recognition and self-persuasion of one's own efforts, and even gods are no exception.

The so-called persistence, the so-called devout belief, and the so-called pursuit of good causes are often just too much effort, so that once you give up, it is equivalent to completely denying your life-long goal and existence value.

Only wise men like you and me can see through the truth behind the appearance and make the wisest judgments and choices.

If you had been born in the era of Netheril, you would have become an outstanding great arcanist like Iolum and I.

You should not be the chosen one of the goddess of magic, at least not the chosen one of the current goddess of magic."

"Oh? Then what do you think I should do?" Zuo Si asked calmly.

"You should come to cooperate with me and work together for a more noble goal, instead of immersing yourself in these boring fights all day long. It is such a waste of your gifts and talents."

Larocque took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
