As a planeswalker that relies purely on white mana, Elspeth's defense and recovery power are undoubtedly among the best among the new generation of planeswalkers.
Although it is not as good as Gideon Yura who can fully recover from any injury, he is definitely not one of those glass men who break at the touch of a touch.
The spell card she activated in an instant not only perfectly withstood the attack of a Theros time and space god, but also quickly restored her body's balance in mid-air, and then jumped high again by stepping on the head of a huge statue.
I want to insert the holy sword in my hand into the chest of the huge evil god in front of me.
Because it has been strengthened many times by Zuo Si, this weapon that emits dazzling golden light is undoubtedly capable of causing damage to creatures like gods.
What's more, the opponent is also a chaotic evil god, so he will inevitably be greatly restrained when facing weapons that are extremely biased towards lawful good.
As a result, the moment Xenagos' huge hand struck down again, Elspeth clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and collided head-on.
The next second...
"Ah! Damn it! How dare you hurt the great god of pleasure!"
As Xenagos screamed and cursed, his palm was suddenly stabbed, and a large amount of divine blood flowed out from the wound and dyed the ground red.
Although this small wound, considering the size of the god in this world, can only be regarded as a small insect bite at best.
However, because the surface of the holy sword is coated with the purifying and exorcist properties of Innistrad's space-time moonsilver, the wound cannot be healed at all, and it constantly produces strong pain and burning sensations, as if it had been stung by a poisonous wasp.
one time.
In a rage, Xenagos raised the spear staff in his other hand and suddenly condensed a dazzling red light and slammed it down.
boom!!!!!
The terrifying impact of divine power instantly created a huge impact crater with a radius of hundreds of meters on the ground.
The resulting earthquake caused a large number of buildings in the city-state not far away to collapse. Thousands of frightened people screamed, and many injured fell into a pool of blood and kept wailing.
There is no doubt that if the impact of this divine power is inside the city, then this city-state will probably be removed from Theros space and time forever.
But fortunately, many residents of this city have become Xenagos' believers in their indulgence.
Therefore, he deliberately avoided the area where the city-state was located and chose an open space near the hill outside the city to release his power.
But even so, the death toll caused by the earthquake alone has reached three to four hundred people.
It is not difficult to understand why the mortals in Joselos' time and space are so reverent to the gods.
In addition to the latter sealing the Titans to create a relatively peaceful living environment, they themselves are also equally destructive.
Moreover, these guys, like the Olympus gods in ancient Greek mythology, are very emotional and have their own desires, ambitions and preferences, and will not be bound by their priesthood.
When they are angry, they will lose their minds like ordinary people and do some extremely crazy and cruel things.
But Elspeth was obviously not intimidated by the crazy Xenagos. Instead, she completely released the extremely powerful sacred power. Not only did her eyes sparkle with a golden light full of majesty and holiness, but two looming wings of light were also behind her.
Opened, the whole person looks like an angel.
It's hard to say whether this is the effect of the holy sword, or whether some previously hidden power in her own blood and soul has been stimulated, or a combination of both factors.
But what is certain is that if things continue to develop like this, it won't be long before he awakens early and becomes that impressive archangel.
You must know that Elspeth is not an ordinary person who she thought was lucky enough to awaken the spark. The huge potential contained in her soul has not been tapped due to psychological avoidance and other factors.
This can be seen from her noble character of punishing evil and promoting good wherever she goes, and is willing to sacrifice herself to save others.
After all, it is not difficult for a person to do one or two good things occasionally, even a big devil like Zuo Si who tends to be lawful evil is no exception.
But there are very few people like Elspeth who have been doing good deeds all their lives and have extremely firm beliefs.
Some people suspect that Elspeth's soul was purified and promoted because she did too many good deeds in the fragmented world of Alara's time and space - Bant, so she has the potential to become an archangel, because the angels in that world are
Promoted from humans in this way.
Some people also suspect that this is related to the unique environment of New Capena's time and space.
The angels there will reincarnate as humans in a certain way, and then complete the leap of life and soul by doing good deeds, and finally become real angels.
Others believe that Elspeth's soul may have been artificially created, or may have undergone some kind of transformation.
Because she has revealed more than once that some faint memories of past lives often pop up in her mind.
But no matter what the real reason is, it proves that her soul and life experience have nothing to do with the word "ordinary".
Many times, Elspeth doesn't know why when a critical moment comes, her first subconscious reaction is always to rush toward danger fearlessly, just like what she is doing now.
But she never regretted putting herself in danger.
"Get away! You nasty fly!"
Xenagos was obviously irritated and frantically unleashed his divine power to kill this little bug flying around.
Unfortunately, Elspeth was obviously well prepared and had a very in-depth understanding of the gods of Theros space and time. What's more, she herself was a hero who was believed and worshiped by countless people - "The Rising Sun".
This also means that she can fight against divine power to a certain extent.
Coupled with the extraordinary power given by the planeswalker's spark, Elspeth was like the goddess of war at this moment, fighting back and forth with Xenagos.
Amazing energy continuously collided in the sky, erupting with deafening sounds, shock waves and violent vibrations.
Just the aftermath permanently changed the nearby terrain and landscape.
Since his body was too big to parry and dodge after becoming a god, Xenagos soon had wounds of various sizes on his body.
What's even more terrible is that another planeswalker, Golden Mane Ajani, also arrived in time to join the battlefield.
In addition, there were several locals wearing golden brass masks and armor.
What they have in common is that they all wear the holy symbol of the sun god Heliod.
There is no doubt that this is an elite team sent by Heliod. The dagger in its hand shining with golden light like a solar panel is the best proof.
Without exception, these weapons are blessed by the sun god and can harm the gods in battle.
"Elspeth! Hold on! I'm here to help you!"
Ajani roared, adding strengthening magic to the weapon in his hand, and then made a powerful slash.
moment!
A bleeding wound appeared on Xenagos' thigh.
Without saying a word, the god of pleasure sent him flying with a backhand thrust of his spear staff, and the few warriors behind who were selected by Heliod also suffered disaster.
Seeing this, Elspeth hurriedly reminded loudly: "No! You must not come over. I can handle it on my own."
But it is a pity that Theros space-time is a world that advocates heroes, and it is also a world with very pious beliefs.
Many young men and women who have heard heroic stories since childhood do not care about sacrifice and death in order to realize their heroic dreams.
Especially when receiving the blessing of the power of the gods they believe in, they will often charge to the enemy until death.
I saw a strong male warrior wearing golden armor leaping high into the air, waving the dagger shining with golden light in his hand and stabbing the god of pleasure's calf hard, and pulling it down with his own weight.
In an instant, a wound several meters long was created.
Especially the blessing of the sun god blessed by Heliod directly released the terrifying high temperature and burned the wound to a burnt black color.
"Ahhhh!!!!!!! It's Heliod's lackey again! I will crush you!"
Xenagos, who was in unbearable pain, blocked Elspeth's attack with one arm, then raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground.
boom!
Suddenly, it triggered an earthquake of at least magnitude 6 or above in the surrounding area.
The soldier hanging on his calf was unable to withstand this force at all. He was instantly blown away and rolled outwards along the ground. A large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.
"Daxos!!!"
Elspeth shouted the opponent's name loudly, and immediately wanted to swoop down to release a spell card to heal him.
But in less than a tenth of a second, the Hell Fiend, who was always behind, seized this fleeting opportunity and finally took action.
He instantly flashed to the injured warrior named Daxos through advanced teleportation, and started with [Law: Shock].
The latter was severely injured and was not very conscious, but he was immediately struck and fell straight to the ground, losing the ability to resist.
By the time Elspeth swooped down, the pit fiend had successfully captured the opponent and held him in front of him, threatening him meaningfully: "Madam, if you don't want him to die, then stop some hostile actions immediately. Otherwise,
I don't mind killing this poor man and then ripping out his soul and torturing him for a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years."
"Let him go! Otherwise I guarantee you will die ugly!"
Elspeth clenched the holy sword tightly, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable sacred light from head to toe.
"Sorry, it's not up to you now. Either do as I say, or continue to attack at the expense of this man."
Senior devils are obviously masters of psychological warfare who have insight into people's hearts and can grasp other people's weaknesses and vulnerabilities at any time. It was immediately obvious that Aizi Bengeng was not the kind of hypocrite who would sacrifice others.
But even so, the Hell Fiend still couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine when he looked at the holy sword, feeling as if he was facing a blazing god.
He knew very well that even if he was as powerful as himself, once he was chopped or pierced by this thing, the end would definitely be disastrous.
Because the power of the Holy Sword is too restrained against all evil creatures, including the undead.
But the lawful-leaning demons are slightly better, at least they don't have to suffer from the extra damage bonus of the chaotic camp like their arch-enemy demons.
Looking at Daxos who had been completely controlled and couldn't even blink, Elspeth showed an expression of unusual struggle on her face. It took half a minute before she suppressed her unwillingness and anger and put down her hand.
Sword, obviously intending to compromise.
Just as the devil predicted, a person like her who is truly kind-hearted and has a sense of responsibility and mission will never watch any innocent person die due to her wrong choice.
What's more, Daxos is not an ordinary person, but one of the few friends that Elspeth can talk to after coming to Theros and have similar values and thoughts. They have a good impression of each other.
Just when she opened her mouth to negotiate terms, a huge figure shining with golden light suddenly descended from the sky and roared in an almost roaring voice: "Elspeth Tiree! What on earth are you doing? Have you forgotten that you were with me before?
Did you make the oath you swore in front of me? Kill that despicable and shameless usurper immediately! Only when he dies can the entire Theros time and space return to normal."
"But... what should I do with Axos? He will die!"
Elspeth turned around and asked in an excited tone.
You don't need to ask to know that this golden figure descending from the sky is none other than the sun god of this world - Heliod.
He has a majestic and handsome face, wearing a large robe, with a sun crown-like decoration on his head. The artifact spear in his hand - Crusol is like a bright sun, constantly releasing hot and strong light.
, enough to instantly melt all matter in the world.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As one of the most powerful gods, he can easily defeat any god in battle except the originally born Clotis and Clophonus.
Even Erebos, the god of death who is its opposite, still fears him.
"Death? From the moment Daxos obeyed my call, he was ready to sacrifice for this. Your hesitation now is simply a stain on this supreme glory. Now, I will give you the last
If you get an opportunity, launch an attack immediately and kill the usurper."
Heliod continued to release terrifying auras, forcing Elspeth to make a choice.
There is no doubt that his personal appearance directly raised the conflict to an unprecedented level.
Even Xenagos abandoned those mortals, narrowed his eyes and stared at the god who was most hostile to him, and at the same time, as always, sarcastically said in a sinister voice: "As expected of the great god of light, he can actually abandon
The life of a believer is so noble.
Sometimes I really feel sad for the mortals who worship you.
Because they have no idea that the sun god they believe in is actually an arrogant, arrogant and despicable person who will do anything to maintain his status and power.
In order to maintain your leadership position among the gods, you have done quite a lot of things that are not in line with your status."
"Shut up! You are just a shameful usurper, a despicable satyr trying to steal divine power. What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?"
Heliod immediately assumed a condescending attitude and shouted loudly.
It is not difficult to see from the disdain and contempt in his eyes that even though Xenagos has become a real god and even abandoned the planeswalker's spark to form an entity in the Nyx Divine Realm, he does not feel at all that the other party is related to him.
The same kind.
"A usurper?
It turns out that in your eyes, all the mortals in the world are not qualified to become gods, let alone talk to you guys on an equal footing, right?
Because once mortals find out that the biggest secret of Theros space and time is that it is their own faith and worship that actually created the gods, then they will ruthlessly abandon you arrogant bastards and usher in their own era.
More mortal gods will be born, bit by bit eating away all the faith that originally belonged to you.
As time goes by, you will be forgotten bit by bit until you completely disappear from the world.
So you are extremely afraid of such a future and want to strangle me in the cradle and completely eliminate the possibility of any mortal becoming a god.
But Li seems to have forgotten that I am the God of pleasure! The God of indulgence and desire!
Do you think I will hide this secret?
No!
I have already revealed the method of becoming a god to countless ambitious mortals!
It won't be long before you see more gods like me born!
And the more fearful you are and the more you want to strangle it, the more it will arouse fear, disgust and hatred in the hearts of mortals.
More and more city-states will abandon their worship of you!
Eventually, you will become weaker and weaker in the process until you completely die."
Xenagos suddenly opened his arms and laughed loudly at the sun god Heliod in an extremely crazy tone.
Because he has the ace adviser of the Pit Fiend, he has a deep understanding of the biggest weakness of the gods of Theros and time and space, so he doesn't seem afraid at all.
What's more, this is not the Nyx Divine Domain. Even if the incarnation is destroyed, it will only be temporarily expelled, so naturally it is safe.
"What! You actually leaked the secret of becoming a god to more mortals? How dare you!"
Heliod instantly lost his anger, and without saying a word raised the artifact spear - Crusol stabbed the "enemy of the gods" in front of him fiercely.
"Hahahaha! I just like seeing this angry expression on your face now!"
Xenagos let out a burst of hysterical laughter, raised his spear and staff, and grappled with the opponent.
The head-on collision between the two gods instantly caused the heaven and earth to change color.
The terrifying shock waves and divine storms almost tore apart everything around them, and even the ground cracked into bottomless ravines.
Many farmers and herdsmen, along with their poultry and livestock, fell into the abyss in panic.
In just a few minutes of fighting, everything within a radius of more than ten kilometers was reduced to rubble.
The city-state not far away was pierced by Heliod's spear. Tens of thousands of residents in the city were incinerated by the scalding sun's flames on the spot, and not even a decent corpse was left.
Such a tragic scene obviously deeply shocked Elspeth.
Because this is far from the bright, just, and benevolent Sun God in her mind.
"You seem surprised, don't you? The god you have been following for so long turns out to be such a sanctimonious thing."
The Hell Fiend grinned with a meaningful smile.
"what do you want to say?"
Elspeth frowned subconsciously.
Because the huge, ugly monster in front of her reminded her of the demons she had encountered in other time and space.
The Hell Fiend's eyes flashed with a red light symbolizing evil, and he deliberately pretended to be careless and replied: "What I want to say is that the sun god Heliod is not as beautiful as you think.
Like all the gods in Theros space and time, everything he does is for himself.
This world does not have the kindness and justice you pursue at all, there is only intrigue between gods and gods, mortals and mortals.
Whether they are mortals or heroes, they are all created by the convergence of the deepest desires in thousands of hearts.
None of this means anything unless you plan to stay here forever."
After hearing these words, Elspeth seemed to understand something. She raised her head and asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you trying to persuade me to leave?"
"Haha, that's right. Because you are not suitable here. And... The space and time of Theros will become even more chaotic next."
After saying that, the Hell Fiend gently pushed the hostage forward and instantly activated his teleportation magic and disappeared.
Aizibeng didn't have time to think too much, and immediately caught Daxos, who was still controlled by magic, and then landed firmly on the ground.
At this time, the lion man Ajani also happened to rush over and asked with concern: "Is he okay?"
"Fortunately, it was just controlled by some unknown magic."
Elspeth visibly breathed a sigh of relief after a simple inspection.
"What are your plans next?"
Ajani stared at the completely destroyed city in the distance and continued to ask.
Elspeth shook her head with a bitter look on her face: "My mind is very confused right now. I don't know who to believe at all, and how to make a choice in this battle between gods. In the past, I thought that the sun god Helio
Virtue should be the embodiment of light, justice and kindness, but I was obviously wrong. Maybe the scary monster just now was right, and this world is not suitable for me."
"Alas - if that's the case, then leave, let these damn gods go dog-eat-dog, and then perish in arrogance and arrogance."
It is not difficult to hear from Ajani's mouth that he does not even have the slightest favorable impression of the gods of this world.
"No, I can't leave, at least not yet.
Because once I'm gone, Heliod will turn all his anger on Daxos.
Moreover, the nightmares that have appeared frequently in many city-states not long ago are also very unusual.
I think we need to investigate."
Elspeth reluctantly gave her reason.
A strong sense of mission and responsibility prevents her from turning a blind eye to these things that may pose a huge threat.
"Nightmare?"
There was a glint in Ajani's eyes that was hard to detect, and he was obviously thinking of something.
After all, there are not many people who have the ability to cause and control such a large-scale nightmare.
Elspeth nodded solemnly: "Yes, nightmare.
It is said that residents of more than fifteen city-states have uncontrollable nightmares when they rest at night, and even begin to pray for the emergence of a new patron saint.
This is obviously not normal.
Maybe I should go to Soth for help.
His research in the field of magic is much deeper than ours.
And I also want to visit the refugees who fled Mirrodin and see how they are living."
While the two were talking, the battle between gods in the distance finally came to an end.
As a new god, Xenagos was obviously no match for Heliod, and it didn't take long before he could no longer hold on.
Realizing that the situation was not good for him, he immediately released an astonishingly powerful divine spell to force his opponent back, and then fled back to Nyx Divine Realm without saying a word, leaving only the sun god Heliod holding his spear high and furious.
Elspeth and Ajani also took the opportunity to escape quickly, leaving no time for Heliod to cause trouble for them.
…
At the same time, Zuo Si, who was far away in the mainland of Faerûn, still didn't know what was happening in Theros space-time. He was standing alone on the balcony of the castle on the largest island in the Sea of Fallen Stars, originally belonging to the province of Ser Araul, facing the sea breeze and enjoying the view of the dock in the early morning.
A busy scene.
On the big bed in the bedroom behind him, Yalusel, who was naked and wrapped only in a blanket, was still sleeping soundly.
You don't need to ask to know that just last night he had completely turned the princess of the Cormyr royal family into "one of his own".
After all, this is a "sacrifice" that must be made out of political needs in order to completely turn the Kingdom of Cormyr into a hardcore ally and vassal of the West Coast Empire.
In addition to Yalusel, Zuo Si also stopped by the palace in Calimport to find his nominal wife Ayesha to fulfill his husband's obligations, and at the same time, he completed the various important government affairs accumulated during this period.
As Faerûn entered the year DR1371, the entire Faerun continent began to become turbulent.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the appearance of a terrifying red dragon in the Kingdom of Cormyr. The orcs and goblins under his command began to wreak havoc in many areas, and a large number of villages and towns lacking defense were massacred and plundered.
If nothing else goes wrong, the heroic King Assan IV and his eldest daughter will die soon, leaving only a baby with the right to inherit.
This is why the first thing Zuo Si did after returning to the continent of Faerûn was to completely capture Yalusel.
Because if you miss this time, you may face some political and public opinion risks if you start again.
In addition, the open and covert struggle between the City of Shadows and Zhentil Keep continues.
The City of Shadows, which had completely gained a foothold, finally burst out with its powerful heritage from the Netherese era, bringing almost the entire Aenook Desert under its control, and even formed a barbarian cavalry force of tens of thousands, constantly attacking the moon.
It is only a matter of time before cities around the sea are plundered and a full-scale war breaks out.
The restored elves also officially launched the banner of Cormanthor, and began to gather together elves, half-elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings and other races to build cities, cultivate farmland, and raise livestock in very high-profile actions.
The creator race sleeping underground in Neverwinter only has two years left before waking up.
Almost the same year there was also the War of the Spider Queen launched by the goddess Lolth.
This does not include other disasters that are not too big, such as the underwater war in the Falling Star Sea that started last year.
Although most land residents do not have accurate information about what is happening in the ocean at the first time.
However, the sudden and frequent landings of underwater inhabitants and demands for trade in weapons, armor and food undoubtedly indicate that they are waging war or resisting attacks by invaders.
Unlike many people who believe that Faerûn’s land and sea civilizations are almost completely isolated.
Although wars often break out between the two sides, they still do some business when they are in need.
Especially high-quality pearls from the deep sea have always been the best raw materials for making mana pearls.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coupled with the recent widespread popularization of arcane magic education in the West Coast Empire, which has led to a surge in the number of low-level mages and apprentices, this stuff is always in short supply.
So when some underwater residents came ashore and wanted to exchange corals, pearls and other specialties for weapons and armor, the merchants agreed without even thinking about it.
After all, with the rise of magic industrialization, the production capacity of super giant city clusters like Ascaltra has far exceeded the limits that many people could imagine.
The huge magic furnace and forging hammer can forge a piece of red, soft, and hot steel billet into any desired shape in just a few minutes.
The mechanical grinding wheel can complete a series of tasks such as edge cutting in a very short time that previously took dozens of minutes or even hours to complete.
It only takes a few days to prepare enough cold weapons and armor for an army of more than 100,000 people.
If these customers from the seabed are willing to pay more, they can also undergo additional anti-rust and anti-oxidation treatments to slow down the rate of corrosion under water.
Looking at the busy scene of transactions at the dock at the moment, you will know how satisfied those various murlocs, sea elves and other intelligent underwater creatures are with these war supplies.
If it weren't for the agreement when signing the contract that no war would start within fifty kilometers from the land, the mutually hostile forces among them would have put on new armor and picked up new weapons to kill in rivers of blood.
It can be said that without the strong industrial production capacity of the West Coast Empire, these underwater residents who are unable to carry out metal smelting and forging would not even be able to fight a decent cold weapon war. They can only rely on primitive weapons such as teeth, claws, bones, shells, and stones.
Weapons to kill enemies.
Of course, it is not only the residents of the Sea of Fallen Stars who purchase large quantities of weapons and equipment from the West Coast Empire, but also Zhentil Castle, City of Shades, the Unther region, the Mulhorand Empire, Cyre, and the sea that are at war.
The Maztec continent on the other side...
Anyway, wherever there is war, there will be a large number of West Coast Empire standard weapons.
Unknowingly, Zuo Si, the emperor of the empire, had become the largest arms dealer in the world, and his influence was growing day by day.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, those exquisite armors that originally cost hundreds or even thousands of gold coins and required master craftsmanship and the help of several apprentices and took a long time to make can now be replaced by similar replacements for only tens or even a dozen gold coins.
If you are not a fool, you will know how to choose.
This is how many primitive blacksmith workshops were forced to go bankrupt.
In the face of the powerful force of industrialization, inheritance, craftsmanship, culture, historical accumulation, etc. are all bullshit. Only cheap and easy-to-use products can best impress consumers.
If necessary, the West Coast Empire can even mobilize tens of thousands of mages and apprentices to quickly mass-produce enchanted weapons and armor in an assembly line manner.
As a modern person, Zuo Si is obviously very aware of the crushing advantages brought by size and scale, so he has always been very generous in planning.
After a period of development, this terrifying advantage is growing like a snowball, pushing other countries and regions in Faerûn to the ground in terms of trade and repeated friction, and the latter have no power to resist at all.
The interesting thing is that it may be that they have experienced too much physical plunder and killing, so that most people do not have too strong resistance to this kind of economic plunder.
Only a handful of merchants and nobles who suffered huge losses from this would gnash their teeth and curse.
Just when Zuo Si was thinking about what he should do with this month's free time, two slender arms suddenly stretched out from behind and hugged his neck, and then heard Yalusel's slight expression in his ears.
Lazy voice.
"What are you looking at?"
"I was watching the increasingly prosperous trade in the port area. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to learn how to manage a city or even a country in such a short period of time."
After saying that, Zuo Si turned his head and glanced at the Iron Princess who was wrapped in a blanket and had a smile on her face.
It has to be said that after long-term physical training, her figure is indeed more curvy and sexy than that of women who lack exercise, and she can bring extra passion and enjoyment during intimate interactions.
Yalusel, who finally got what he wanted, was obviously in a particularly good mood today and couldn't help but smile and responded: "Thank you for arranging a good teacher for me.
In the past, I was only focused on marching and fighting, so I didn't realize the importance of management and logistics.
But now, I already know how much effort my sister has put in to keep the Kingdom of Cormyr from financial collapse over the years.
Maybe the decision my father made was right.
If he hadn't taken away everything I had before, I'd probably never know this.
Of course, the most important thing is meeting you, a man who makes me full of curiosity and deeply fascinated at the same time."
"If His Majesty Assan IV hears these words, I am afraid he will be moved to tears. After all, the disaster you caused back then was not small at all, and it is still affecting the entire situation of the Kingdom of Cormyr."
Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.
As soon as he mentioned his homeland, Yalusel's originally happy and joyful face was suddenly covered with a haze, and he asked in a slightly heavy tone: "You know what happened recently in the Kingdom of Cormyr, right?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes.
The empire has a very complete intelligence collection system, so I know the situation in surrounding countries and regions very well.
I have to say that your father and sister are in big trouble this time.
Not only was the red dragon and his army of monsters invading, but some nobles who had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction were also doing things secretly.
If it is not handled well, the entire country will fall into turmoil, unrest, and even civil war.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If such a thing really happens, Ghost City and Zhentil Castle will definitely not be able to help but get involved."
"The nobles in the kingdom? Who are they?" Yalusel asked urgently.
Zuo Si patiently replied: "A lot, probably enough to fill half a piece of paper.
You have to understand that Cormyr is a thousand-year kingdom.
Its ancient institutional and political framework has operated for too long.
There are even more internal conflicts and problems.
It's normal to have opponents and people who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
However, these nobles are still in the stage of collusion and conspiracy.
If His Majesty Assan IV can calm down all this quickly, they will not make any substantive moves.
But if you fail to do that or fail miserably, things can quickly take a turn for the worse."
"So as long as father kills the red dragon as soon as possible, the kingdom can survive the crisis safely?"
The Iron Princess obviously had extremely strong confidence in Assan IV, and did not realize at all that this heroic king was no longer the strongest in his prime, and many parts of his body were already showing signs of aging and weakening.
This is also the pain that countless powerful warriors must face and experience in their old age.
"That's right.
As long as those nobles confirm that His Majesty Assan IV is still the invincible and invincible commander, they will not dare to act rashly.
In addition, I have approved the Kingdom of Cormyr's application for a loan of one million gold coins.
I believe that with this money, the situation will improve.
Since this is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Cormyr, and your father has not formally requested help from the Trade Alliance, it is really not convenient for me to intervene further."
After saying that, Zuo Si pretended to be helpless and innocent.
Hearing this, Yalusel couldn't help laughing immediately. While laughing, he grabbed the blanket that almost slipped and said, "You want your father to take the initiative to ask for help from others?
Do not make jokes!
His pride and the glory of the Cormyr royal family would not allow him to do this.
I bet that even if he died in battle, he would never ask for help from anyone.
Otherwise I'd start to wonder if he'd been replaced by some evil mage or shapeshifter.
By the way, what would you like to eat in the morning?
I believe that the passion last night must have consumed a lot of your energy, and you must be hungry now."
"Guests do as they please. You are the master here, so of course everything is at your disposal."
Zuo Si's face was filled with indifference and casualness.
"Ha! I am not the master here, you are. Don't forget, these two islands are nominally the territory of the West Coast Empire. I am just the governor who temporarily manages them on your behalf."
Yalusel blinked playfully, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Like all wealthy aristocratic women, she is also a very clean person, bathing at least three times a day and changing clothes several times a day.
After all, the climate here is so hot that once you leave a place without magic cooling, you will be sweating profusely within a few minutes.
Anyone who loves cleanliness will not like that sticky feeling all over their body.
Zuo Si took advantage of the moment when the other party turned around, waved his hand and lightly touched the Iron Princess's butt, causing her to scream, followed by a burst of giggles, and took off the blanket she was wrapped in.
