The two are fundamentally opposed.

As for the set of rules followed by Seventh Heaven Mountain, they are not qualified to be called "politics" at all, but are closer to a group of rigid machines that only execute according to rules and regulations.

Once there is a problem with the rules and regulations, internal chaos will fall into chaos within minutes.

In contrast, the devil on the evil side will try every means to get around or take advantage of loopholes.

"He is indeed the devil prince who established the ninth level of hell from scratch, and is the greatest devil second only to Asmodeus."

The Yin Red Knight was obviously more intelligent than his father, and he immediately understood why the other party dared to carry out such an operation without fear.

To be precise, she was frightened by the silent understanding and extremely rational political thinking between Zuo Si and Asmodeus.

I also understand why many scholars say that the devil in hell is the most terrifying conspiracy master and political machine in the universe.

The most terrifying thing about devils is that they clearly know that the people around them may be enemies, but they are able to form a tacit understanding and even cooperation while constantly fighting against each other.

Before there is absolute certainty, no one will fall out easily, but will maintain a superficial unity.

If it were demons or yugoloths, they would probably start stabbing each other long ago.

"Haha, that's a prize."

Zuo Sichong smiled at the goddess of strategy.

He still has a good impression of the daughter of the God of War.

After all, in Faerûn, there are not many such rational goddesses.

Even excluding camp factors, most goddesses are either willful, paranoid, crazy, too naive and idealistic, or they are full of thoughts about doing things and making big things.

"So how exactly do you plan to cooperate?"

The Red Knight took over from Tempus and began to prepare for negotiations.

To be precise, almost every time the latter wanted to sign some agreement with other gods, she would step in to prevent her father's chaotic nature from falling into a trap.

Zuo Si responded very simply: "The way of cooperation is very simple.

I will provide weapons, equipment, potions and corresponding selling prices, and you will use your neutral status to sell them to the armies of the good camp.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will not be responsible for delivery, nor will I provide any after-sales service.

It won't even go through normal trading channels, but will be shipped out through smuggling.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You do not need to bring the money back after selling it, you can directly purchase the raw materials on the list from the other party.

After I come back, I will exchange your share for what you need, including money and various goods and services.

As for the proportion of sharing, let’s keep it at 40-60 for the time being.

You get 40%, I get 60%."

"Being a middleman selling arms?"

Tempus rubbed his chin, obviously not very interested in this kind of business practice.

Because there is nothing business-related in his ministry.

"Father God, this is to balance the power of both parties, so that you can intervene in this unprecedented and grand war as soon as possible and safely, and it can also increase your influence." Yin Hong Knight persuaded solemnly.

"Okay, let's do this first. I will let the church and believers cooperate with you, and you will be responsible."

After that, Tempus left the stall directly to his daughter and chose to leave directly.

He had already gotten what he wanted to know, and all that was left was to patiently wait for the best opportunity to make an entry.

On the contrary, Yin Hong Knight stayed and discussed with Zuo Si for two or three hours, and only signed a contract after repeatedly confirming that there were no problems.

Eventually, the God of War Tempus and his daughter, the Red Knight, also sent people to the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level and began their career as arms dealers.

In just a few weeks, they sold all kinds of weapons, equipment and medicines everywhere.

Compared to the cunning and greed of followers of the goddess of wealth, Watkin, the greatest advantage of followers of Tempus and the Scarlet Knight is sincerity.

They never sit back and raise prices, nor do they care about profits. They just want to deliver the goods to the troops in need as soon as possible, and then watch the two sides fight evenly on the battlefield.

Over time, we actually established good business credit.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zuo Si.

After signing the contract with the Red Knight, he returned directly to the palace in Calimport.

As the rule of the West Coast Empire becomes more and more stable and becomes more and more popular, the most important, most populous, and most prosperous city in the south of Faerûn has completely changed into something else.

If it weren't for the majestic and huge palace still there, people would hardly be able to see the slightest trace of the past.

Almost all the ancient buildings have been demolished, and the streets have gone through rounds of planning and reconstruction, and they look a bit like modern metropolises on Earth.

There are countless airships, magic ships, and small aircraft in the sky traveling to and from various places and even different planes.

On the ground, there are carriages, magical vehicles driven by mystery locks, and a public transportation network similar to the subway located underground.

Electric lamps and magic lamps have completely replaced torches, oil lamps, and even the eternal flame torches have been replaced.

A wide variety of shops and services, entertainment venues are scattered throughout the streets and alleys, and the port is extremely busy all year round.

The most important thing is that due to the popularity of magic locks, ordinary people can also enjoy the convenience of magic through specific spells.

But this has also directly led to the complete elimination of professionals who perform purely manual labor.

No matter in the dock area or the airship loading and unloading area, there are no more shirtless workers carrying goods, only warehouse managers who use spells to make boxes float in mid-air.

As for those eliminated manual workers, basically all were forced to leave the city and settle in villages and towns without magic locks.

Only there can they still find jobs to support their families.

It can be predicted that as these people age and die, and society's demand for manual workers declines, the quality of the entire empire's population will take a big step forward.

Everyone is optimistic that the great West Coast Empire will continue to develop rapidly and lead the world into an era of unprecedented prosperity.

Many scholars have even begun to claim that the empire has surpassed the civilization established by the elves in all aspects, as well as the Netherese era that was often praised by spellcasters in the past.

Candlekeep even wrote the "Chronicle of Miracles" starting from the year Zuo Si arrived in Faerûn.

The bureaucracy claimed that under the rule of the empire, no one had died due to poverty, hunger and cold for many years.

This is an amazing achievement in Faerûn and is definitely worthy of a special mention.

In short, in the eyes of most people, the future situation is not as simple as good, but great.

Only Zuo Si himself knew that the West Coast Empire was not far away from touching the ceiling of its development.

Because this is a world where technology is limited, and no matter how magic develops, it is difficult to truly benefit the lower classes.

After all, the threshold for becoming a mage and the financial resources required are there.

Especially things like genius are always scarce no matter where they are.

Therefore, Zuo Si has shifted from actively developing the empire he built with his own hands to maintaining it.

After briefly meeting with the important ministers and listening to their reports, he went straight to the harem to meet his queen and his daughter, who was enjoying family happiness.

"When did you come back?"

Ayesha quickly stood up and curtsied to her husband.

"Just got back. You guys seemed to have a good chat?"

Zuo Si glanced at little Annie sitting obediently on the chair, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because this rebellious little thing is surprisingly honest in front of his mother.

Could it be that this is the so-called "distance creates beauty"?

Because the time they spent together was relatively short, coupled with the unconditional doting, there was no conflict between little Annie and her mother, and they naturally became closer?

Aisha responded with a smile: "Of course. This is my baby girl. Even if she suddenly grows up so much, I can still recognize her at a glance."

"Oh? Then has she ever said what she has done in the past two years?"

Zuo Si asked with a half-smile.

moment!

The girl who was extremely well-behaved one second had a frightened expression on her face the next, and at the same time she kept signaling with her eyes not to say anything.

Obviously, she didn't mention a word about the rebellious part.

"Isn't it just traveling in different time and space to collect things that interest you?"

Ayesha blinked her eyes in confusion.

Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "You underestimate our daughter too much. Do you know? In the civil war of the drow god system not long ago, she used a super magic after awakening her planeswalker spark, and instantly destroyed her eyes.

The incarnation of the Demonic Mistress exploded."

"Wha...what? What did you say she exploded?"

Aisha's pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again, and her whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

You must know that she is a descendant who has received personal guidance from Xia En VII, and is also a mage with a spellcasting level of up to LV15.

Yes, you read that right.
