Chapter 219 The Weak Saint(3/4)
A creature wearing gold and silver, which looked like a tall and tall human woman, stood beside Zuo Si and asked with interest.
Zuo Si shook his head gently: "No, of course not. I'm just making a little preparation for possible crises, that's all. And, are all the little giants as curious as you?"
p>
"Haha! Of course not! I was just sealed for so long that I desperately wanted to understand the changes in this world. You know, ever since those damn fire djinn forcibly dragged me into their army and came to this world.
, I only participated in one battle before I was captured and sealed by the djinn."
The female humanoid creature called a djinn laughed and laughed at herself.
Obviously, she is the djinn sealed in the magic lantern obtained through exchange in Calimport.
With the huge knowledge base obtained from Candlekeep, Zuo Si solved the three riddles very easily.
Therefore, this female djinn who calls herself Mukka must serve him for at least a hundred years before she can regain her freedom.
Of course, for a giant spirit that has been sealed in a bottle for thousands of years, it may be that he wants to come out and breathe some air in this way.
"Then you're not dissatisfied with my arrangement, are you?" Zuo Si continued to confirm.
Miuka spread his hands with a nonchalant look: "Of course not. Compared to those highly dangerous jobs, I actually prefer an ordinary life. Things like protecting businessmen sound quite relaxing and comfortable.
”
"Really, then I'll feel relieved."
An expression of satisfaction appeared on Zuo Si's face.
With his current level of divine and arcane spellcasting, as well as the strength of the creatures summoned by the planeswalker card, creatures like the djinn are basically of no use.
Why not simply send him to protect Bernard, increase the safety factor of some businessmen, and use it as a wedding gift to him.
You must know that the little giant spirit has a very powerful spell-like ability - teleportation.
If there is really a danger, you can take Bernard and escape to the star realm, the elemental plane and other main material planes in a few minutes. Save your life first.
Since the two families arranged the wedding at the beginning of the New Year, it took place within these few days.
After attending the wedding, Zuo Si was ready to raise the level of [Mystic] to LV10 in one go, and then start trying to explore other worlds.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to find a new world in a few months.
Because from DR1361 to DR1367, except for Amn’s discovery of the Maztec continent, basically nothing major happened.
In addition, there is the point that Bane's followers and Cyric's followers are constantly fighting for control of Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim Order.
Although Zuo Si doesn't mind occasionally stepping in and obtaining mana by harvesting members of the Cyric Church, it's better to avoid confronting them head-on.
After all, "Dark Sun" is one of the most powerful gods in Faerun. Maybe he is really mentally ill, but he is still very powerful.
He doesn't want to be targeted by the other party, so he will focus on taking care of him.
As for which world to go to, Zuo Si hasn't decided yet.
If possible, he hopes to go to a relatively peaceful place to relax his long-term nervousness. At least he doesn't have to worry about gods, demons, demons, and celestial beings all day long, who will come to trouble him every now and then.
Of course, before leaving, there is one very important thing that needs to be done.
That is to find ways to use [Talona's Favor] to capture the soul of a powerful enough druid, psychic, or warlock.
If you really can't find a suitable target, then get the soul of a high-level warrior or barbarian to make do.
With expectations for the new world, Zuo Si quickly spent the last days of DR1360.
When the first day of DR1361 arrived, Bernard finally held an unprecedented grand wedding in his family's mansion.
Since the wealthy merchants and nobles of Amn have a tradition of showing off their wealth, the total cost of the wedding was as high as 250,000 gold coins.
Just the fresh flower petals sprinkled on the roadside along the way cost at least 25,000 gold coins.
In addition, he also donated 20,000 gold coins to the Ilmat Church, and at the same time scattered a large number of silver coins on the roadside, allowing beggars, poor people and civilians to fight for them.
Chef Welby even personally led a team of luxury chefs to prepare all the dishes for the banquet on the wedding day.
In addition, Bernard also hired fifty chefs to set up running water tables in front of his house.
No matter who it is, as long as they come to send blessings to this wedding, they can enjoy fine wine and delicious food at will.
It can be said that every wedding of the upper-class nobles and wealthy businessmen of Ascatra is equivalent to showing everyone the strong strength of their family.
Therefore, many people would rather take out a loan to hold a once-in-a-lifetime wedding with splendor.
At least you can’t make anyone feel shabby.
Otherwise, once you are considered stingy or stingy, not only will your family be shamed and become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle, but your business will also be affected.
However, no one doubts the financial strength of Bernard and the Nasiva family.
Just look at the number of nobles and wealthy businessmen who came to the wedding with invitations in hand, and you will know how much influence they have in this city and even the entire country.
And it’s not just the local forces in Amn!
The lord of Mylatma in Tethyr, Earl Wix Targett, specially sent his cronies to deliver a beautiful golden sword;
The leader of the Thieves Guild in Calimport, Apke, also asked his men to give a pearl tiara to the bride;
In addition, there is also Eric, the nominal lord of the Nelanthel Islands, Shimamon, the controller of the Zhentarim dark intelligence network, the church of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, etc.
Gifts were delivered without exception.
But Bernard knew very well that the reason why these people and forces were willing to support him was entirely because of Zuo Si's face.
Seeing the shocked or awed reactions of the guests, he couldn't help but smile and sigh: "No wonder my grandfather always said that as a businessman, you only need to make a successful investment once in your life to get a steady stream of generous returns. And
The most correct thing I did in my life was to choose Sir Soth without hesitation."
"This is all destiny. I heard that voters almost have no life limit, let alone aging. So as long as your heirs are smart enough and know how to maintain this relationship, your family will be able to survive for at least a few hundred years.
will remain strong."
There was naked and undisguised envy in Babette's tone.
"No, it's not me, it's us. Don't forget, you and I are relatives now. What's more, we also jointly funded the expedition to find the Maztec continent across the sea." Bernard gave an example.
He took a sip of wine from his glass and reminded him meaningfully.
Babette immediately smiled and nodded: "You are right. I hope this marriage contract will allow our two families to go hand in hand and create a better future together."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The two of them touched the glasses in their hands lightly, then raised their heads and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
I don’t know whether it was because he was too excited or drank too quickly, but Bernard’s face turned slightly red.
Just when he was about to say something, Zuo Si came over from a distance with the little giant spirit and asked with interest: "What were you talking about just now?"
"We are talking about the expedition. If this voyage really discovers a vast continent, it will definitely cause violent shocks throughout Amn and even Faerûn. At that time, just the privileges granted by the law of the sea and development,
This will allow us to make a lot of money."
When saying these words, Babette's mental state obviously became extremely excited.
Having lived in the shadow of his father since childhood, he is eager to prove himself more than anyone else.
This desire has become stronger especially after his childhood friend Bernard has become the head of the family and started his own business.
Zuo Si obviously noticed this and asked with a half-smile: "What, do you want to go to Maztec Continent to develop?"
Babette responded without thinking: "Of course! I plan to build a city and port of our own, and turn it into Amn's first and most prosperous settlement and supply point.
.After it is completed, this city alone will bring us a steady stream of income."
"It is a good thing to be adventurous and have a pioneering spirit. But the question is, have you discussed it with your father? I don't think he will allow the heir of the family to cross the dangerous ocean to another completely unfamiliar land. It can even be said that
It’s a land of unknown knowledge to venture into.”
With just one sentence, Zuo Si knocked Babette into despair.
Because this guy also knows very well that if he wants to take such a huge risk in his own capacity, it is basically impossible to get his father's permission.
Otherwise, all the energy and effort spent on cultivating qualified heirs may be wasted if you are not careful.
What's more, the Nasiva family is currently on the rise, so there is no need to let Babette go to the wilderness to risk his life.
Seeing his friend's unhappy look, Bernard didn't say much, nor did he try to comfort him. He just signaled the maid to fill the other's empty glass with wine, then turned around and said to Zuo Si: "Sos
Sir, what do you think of today’s wedding?”
"It's very luxurious and lively. Although I already knew that you would definitely spend a lot of money on this, the two or three hundred thousand gold coins just for this day is still a bit beyond my expectations. To be honest, Amn's exaggeration is...
There is a big problem with the social culture of showing off."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zuo Si bluntly stated his own opinion.
Leaving aside the donations to the church of Ilmat, the God of Suffering, the fresh petals of the shaman along the bride's carriage are wasted to the extreme.
Not to mention the behavior of driving a carriage and "throwing money" to the surrounding people.
Bernard smiled helplessly and explained: "There is nothing we can do about it. Because some things cannot be stopped once they are started. For the nobles and businessmen of Amn, showing off wealth is a social activity in itself.
To be continued...
