Chapter 475 You are always the most beautiful(2/4)
It will not play any role in stabilizing the situation in Waterdeep.
At the same time, it may also attract sudden attacks from creatures from other planes.
In DR1358, the interdimensional portal suddenly opened above Waterdeep City and the large number of gargoyles and tengu that appeared with it were the trouble caused by the space port.
In addition, the entire spaceport may not receive more than thirty magic ships a year, and the tax revenue provided is also extremely limited, so it is not surprising that it is not taken seriously.
In fact, Waterdeep is not the only one with spaceports in Faerûn. There is also a larger one on the Elves' Evergathering Island, which even has a space fleet stationed all year round.
Of course, the "space fleet" here may be different from what most people on earth imagine.
There are neither so-called giant ships or cannons, nor various advanced equipment and energy weapons.
Many magic ships look no different from the wooden sailing ships that run on the sea.
It's just blessed with powerful magical power that allows it to travel freely between space and planes, protecting the members inside from the effects of vacuum and other harsh environments.
The real purpose of these magic ships is not for trade, but instead is mainly used to defend against large-scale invasions by the Githyanki and occasionally conduct interdimensional exploration.
Its combat capability also depends on the casters and other combatants equipped on the ship.
"Deal!"
Zuo Si agreed without even thinking.
He never expected to be able to reach inside the governance structure of Waterdeep City at once, and he was quite satisfied if he could achieve the first two goals.
Especially the spaceport.
It may not be of much use to others, but he can use this thing to achieve links with other outer planes, which can play a key role in promoting the development of magical civilization.
After all, the ultimate goal of any mature and powerful magical civilization must be to move into the vast universe.
In the following time, both parties signed their names on two copies of the agreement.
At this point, Zuo Si finally temporarily captured the last more difficult force in the North - Waterdeep City.
Politically, he has basically cleared all the obstacles. What is left is to boil frogs in warm water, gradually control various towns through economic means, take back power bit by bit, and finally achieve centralization and unification.
This is not an easy thing.
Because Elminster and the Harper Alliance will do their best to interfere.
They may not be good at construction, but they are definitely good at destruction.
Therefore, the road to reunification in the North cannot be smooth sailing.
However, Zuo Si has the confidence to continue playing with these guys, completely shattering their inner beliefs in battle after battle, or even having a mental breakdown and turning into a self-destructive lunatic or a walking zombie who has lost his ideals.
After collecting the signed agreement, Kelben immediately asked: "When do you plan to send troops?"
"No more than a week at the latest. I need to mobilize airships to transport armies from other city-states and complete the assembly."
Zuo Si gave an exact deadline very simply.
In fact, when Baldur's Gate fell, he had already issued instructions to his men and allies to assemble the army.
Among them, the Dark Elves, who are all under the Dragonspear Castle, have gathered an army of more than a thousand people a long time ago, and launched several small-scale war exercises targeting the orcs and orc tribes in the High Wasteland.
Kill the latter to pieces.
Since their appearance, nearby monsters have avoided Dragonlance Castle for fear of being accidentally caught by these ferocious drow.
"Then it's settled! In a week, we will send troops to the south and north at the same time."
After saying this, Kelben stood up and left, cast teleportation magic and disappeared.
However, he did not return to Waterdeep City, but appeared in the palace of the Kingdom of Cormyr not long after.
Seeing her husband's sudden arrival, Laila, who was resting, immediately stood up and asked: "How? Have you convinced Soth?"
Kelben nodded slightly: "Yes. Although he paid a small price, Soth finally agreed to lead the army to attack in a week. If nothing else happens, Fu Zouer Chambery will soon face the enemy.
It’s a big defeat.”
"What price?" Laila asked in a low voice.
"Waterdeep joins the Trade Alliance, moves the spaceport to Askatra, and the Council of Masked Lords admits a Bystander.
Although Piergalen and several lords strongly opposed it, the vote was finally passed.
After all, although the conditions offered by Soth were harsh, they did not touch the most fundamental interests of Waterdeep City.
But I'm worried that this is just the beginning, and he will slowly reach into the interior of Waterdeep."
When saying this, Kelben couldn't help but sigh.
Because his position on this matter is somewhat contradictory.
On the one hand, he hopes that Zuo Si can complete the feat of unifying the west coast of Faerun and achieve some ultimate order;
On the other hand, he does not want Waterdeep, which is regarded as "home", to lose its most important characteristics and eventually become the same as other cities.
However, Laila was obviously not as entangled as her husband. She smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't think so much, just let everything happen.
Anyway, no matter what Soth wants to do, it is not a bad thing for the civilians living on this land.
Moreover, I have just convinced Asan IV that he will launch a surprise attack from behind when necessary, cut off Sanfuzor Chamberry's retreat, and intercept all the supplies that the opponent wants to transport back to Zhentil Castle.
Oh, by the way, I also met Yalusel, who is called the Iron Princess.
I have to say, she is much more interesting than expected."
"Oh? What an interesting way?"
Kelben asked casually with great interest.
"Well - how should I put it?
If she were a prince, she would definitely become the ideal heir to the Cormyr royal family and become a wise ruler like her father.
But unfortunately, she is neither a prince nor the first heir.
According to the inheritance law of the Kingdom of Cormyr, she has no chance of touching the throne of the king.
In addition, I found that she seemed to be only interested in men who were more powerful than herself.
So this operation may be an opportunity."
Laila's eyes were shining with strange light, obviously thinking of something.
As a husband, Kelben obviously understood his wife's thoughts very well, and the corners of his mouth immediately twitched slightly uncontrollably: "You don't want to bring Soth and this Iron Princess together, do you?
I advise you not to do stupid things!
Soth's wife can only be a descendant of Shane VII, which is related to the legal ownership of the entire west coast and southern countries.
Soth will not make mistakes in this matter, and neither will Shane VII.
Moreover, it might also offend the Cormyr royal family and make them feel humiliated."
"Haha, my dear, you have misunderstood. How could I make such a mistake?
I just want to introduce these two young people with slightly similar personalities to get to know each other.
As for whether there will be any sparks between them, that's none of my business.
After all, Suna, the great goddess of love and beauty, teaches us that love is free and should not be restricted in any form.
What's more, even if they can't become husband and wife, they can still be lovers or close friends, right?
Think about it, once the west coast empire established by Soth forms an alliance with the Kingdom of Cormyr, it will almost completely block the westward expansion of Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim and the red-robed mages of Cyre.
This is a good thing for all of us."
Laila winked playfully and whispered her thoughts into her husband's ear.
……
At the same time, Zuo Si, who was far away in Master Askatra's tower, didn't know that someone wanted to bring him into a relationship with the Iron Princess Yalusel. He was currently standing in the dragon's nest training the golden dragon girl-Gelsani.
Ya.
At the moment, this inexperienced little guy maintains the form of a giant dragon, lying on the open space that originally belonged to the purgatory red dragon Wilmes, eating delicious food carefully prepared by the multi-functional construct chef, while enjoying the goblin werewolf
Massage and scrub services provided.
Perhaps it is because she eats well, sleeps well, and exercises less, but overall she no longer looks as slim and thin as before, but instead has a slightly fleshy and plump posture.
It is estimated that if it continues to develop at this rate, it will not take a few years to become the same as the famous fat house dragon - Xi Bochard.
Of course, the most important thing is not the change in body shape, but the change in thinking mode and concept.
You must know that at the beginning, this little golden dragon girl with a strong sense of justice was full of strong indignation against raising and enslaving goblins.
But look at now, she can actually enjoy the service of these goblins with peace of mind, and even make some requests, such as being more vigorous during the massage.
So how did Zuo Si distort Gelsanya's cognition and make her slowly slide towards the abyss of evil step by step?
The answer is very simple!
Zuo Si directly told little sister Jinlong that all these goblins were motivated by a great and noble sentiment and the spirit of sacrificing themselves to serve others.
They are proud to serve others and enjoy helping others. The whole meaning of living is to keep more people away from jobs that are full of danger, dirty and tiring work.
