But even if I knew it, I would just laugh it off and not care too much.

In his eyes, Elminster's approach is tantamount to an old stubborn who has great power but cannot keep up with the times, trying to slow down the development of the entire civilization by himself.

When a head-on collision occurs, Elminster will find that he is not fighting a small group of people as he imagined, but a group of vested interests that is growing like a snowball.

There are not only nobles and merchants here, but also farmers, guards, craftsmen, and practitioners who provide various services who can also benefit from it.

Even if you are a god, if you dare to block the path of this train, you may be smashed to pieces in an instant.

You must know that the faith of most mortals is not that devout. Basically, some of them are just casual believers, and they may change their patron saint at some point.

When a certain god seriously harms their interests, then the belief in that god will naturally be spurned and resisted.

In fact, just when Elminster and Mordenkainen met, land transportation networks built by giant airships had already appeared in the skies over many cities.

The farthest point even reaches the Dragon Coast area adjacent to the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

Even coastal cities like Ximen, Pros, Irip and other coastal cities have expressed their desire to become a part of the trade alliance after seeing the terrifying load capacity and transportation efficiency of airships.

After all, it is not possible to go by sea from the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars in the center of the continent to the west coast. You must change into a carriage and take the overland road to Steam Lake, and then from Steam Lake through the Sea of ​​Glory and the Sea of ​​Swords, and finally reach the Sword Sea.

Bay.

However, airships can easily cross thousands of meters of mountains, take the shortest straight air route, and only need two or three days to reach their destination.

This is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive than trying to go around in a big circle, and the cost is also quite cheap. As long as you join the "group purchase" organized by the Goddess of Wealth Church, it is even cheaper and more cost-effective than shipping.

As for security...

Ever since they learned that the fixed route connecting Silvermoon City and Askatra had been opened, no businessman would doubt it.

After all, it is possible to cross such a dangerous large area without incident, and there is no risk of falling in a relatively safe plain like this.

What's more, the fate of the evil dragons and monster tribes that attacked the airship was enough to serve as a warning to the monkeys.

A total of nine dragons of different colors, as well as more than 8,000 bloody heads, are currently hanging on the Ascaltra's landing platform for public display.

The strong visual impact is enough to make most people believe that Zuo Si is absolutely capable and willing to kill any arrogant person who dares to rob the airship, no matter if the opponent is a monster or a huge dragon that makes people change their minds.<

/p>

At the moment, he is sitting in the conference room of the Masked Mage Guild Headquarters, with his hands folded on his chest, and his eyes full of scrutiny scanned the restless faces with nervous expressions on their faces.

You don't need to ask to know that these people are all the great mages of the Masked Mage Guild with levels above LV13, and they are also the real people in power within the organization.

The reason why they behave like this is that behind each of them stands at least five lichs who master nine-ring magic.

In addition, there is a dragon lich crawling on the floor nearby, motionless like a well-behaved pet.

"I believe that after the cordial and friendly visit and consultation, you all should already know why I came here, right?" Zuo Si asked slowly.

"Of course! From today on, you are the master and supreme leader of the Masked Mage Guild. We will obey every order you give without any objection."

A dwarf mage specializing in illusion with a spellcasting level as high as LV18 quickly stood up and responded while wiping his sweat.

From the fear in his eyes, it is easy to see that he was frightened.

No matter who is sleeping in a room in the mage tower that he thinks is safe, and is suddenly pulled out of bed by five lichs and taken away by force, his performance will not be any better.

So fucking scary!

Until now, the dwarf archmage has not figured out what method the other party used to avoid alerting the guards and magic protection in the mage tower.

This also means that if the other party wants to kill him, he will not even have a chance to call for help or escape.

"Yes! We are willing to surrender to you!"

"I am willing to hand over all the power and resources in my hands and wait for you to do whatever you want."

"This is a small and disrespectful gift, please accept it."

"Lord Soth, I have a very talented, young and beautiful half-elf granddaughter. Why don't I give it to you as an apprentice?"

All of a sudden, the top leaders of the Masked Mage Guild turned into licking dogs.

It’s impossible not to lick it!

Ever since being visited by a lich, no one has thought of running away.

But no matter where they go, these lichs can always find them when needed.

After realizing the terrifying power in Zuo Si's hands, the archmages present completely resigned themselves to their fate.

After all, the number of lichs who master the nine-ring magic under his command is far more than that of his own several times, so why fight? Just raise the white flag and surrender as soon as possible.

Anyway, high-level mages are such a scarce resource. As long as they don't have any deep hatred, they usually won't kill them all. At worst, they can just accept the treatment of being treated like dogs.

What's more, there are so many lichs in an organization, doesn't it just mean that the other party has the technology and methods to completely transform lichs?

If we could get these, wouldn't we be able to escape death and gain eternal life?

Appreciating the groveling manner of these archmages who usually thought highly of themselves, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I like people who know current affairs.

Don’t worry, I won’t change your position in the short term, let alone deprive you of your power within the guild.

But there is one thing!

From now on, when I am enforcing the law, I will turn a blind eye.

Unless there is too much trouble, ignore the behavior of releasing arcane magic on the streets, as well as the merchants and adventurers selling magic scrolls, potions and items."

"You mean... gradually relaxing the ban and control of arcane magic?"

A human woman who looked very old cautiously tried.

"That's right. In my opinion, there is nothing more stupid in all the laws of Amn than prohibiting the use and research of arcane magic.

This not only weakens the development potential of this country, but also harms the interests of all users of arcane magic.

To be honest, you are really lucky to have survived until now without being disgraced by some spellcasting organization or a powerful legendary mage.

Remember, I will not only open the ban, but also give mages a higher social status in the form of law and encourage research in magic-related fields."

Zuo Si did not hide anything and stated his intentions openly.

Although he himself had already obtained a license to cast magic at will in Ascaltra, he had always disliked this magic ban and wanted to abolish it.

"But what will the six-person council say?"

Another Archmage looked troubled.

Zuo Si waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about the six-person council. My people will make sure that they have nothing to do but take care of themselves. They have no time and energy to pay attention to the law enforcement issues of the Masked Mage Guild."

"Got it."

The Archmage hurriedly lowered his head and exchanged glances with his companions at the next table using very subtle movements.

As smart people with intelligence attributes exceeding 19 or even 20, they could already tell from this sentence that even the six-member council, the highest authority body, had been infiltrated and even controlled.

This means that it won’t be long before the young man in front of you will become a veritable King of Amn.

Zuo Si ignored these small gestures and continued to ask: "How is the merger plan with the Jade Association going?"

"Everything went very smoothly.

Except for a very small number of people who are strongly hostile to the Masked Mage Guild, more than 60% of them have been absorbed into it.

But the problem is that many of these mages are from wild backgrounds and need to undergo systematic training before they can be assigned tasks.

There are also a small number of people who are hired and bribed by local nobles and ignore the orders issued by Lord Balisriyat."

Speaking of this, the human archmage turned his attention to the huge dracolich not far away.

The latter raised his huge head and explained in a very helpless tone: "Master, you can't blame me.

The Emerald Society was originally a loose alliance that existed to fight against the Masked Mage Guild.

Many of these mages simply use their names and rely on organizational channels to purchase the materials and magic items they need.

Although after several years of infiltration, I have controlled most of them.

But there are still a group of unruly guys.

Of course, if you allow me, I will be very happy to kill them."

Zuo Si touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head and objected: "Forget it, let them go. Anyway, Amn will soon completely relax the ban on arcane magic. If there is nothing else, you guys

You can go and do whatever you need to do."

Instantly!

The top leaders of the Masked Mage Guild were immediately relieved and started to use teleportation magic to escape.

The lichs bowed to the leaders of the organization and then returned to their own mage towers, even the dracolich Balithriat was no exception.

After everyone was gone, Xia En VII, who was hiding in the dark corner, came out and commented with a slightly approving tone: "Your movements are very fast, much faster than I thought.

In particular, the fact that the Lich under his command directly visited the higher-ups of the Masked Mage Guild played a very good deterrent effect.

I estimate that in about a month at most, you should be able to hold Amn in the palm of your hand."

"It is not difficult to capture Amn.
