Chapter 493 You are out(2/4)
She has obviously known for a long time that this guy is not really Zuo Si, but is here to deliberately fool outsiders who know nothing about magic.
After all, the essence of the simulacrum is a construct created by magic. Although it has a certain level of intelligence and can communicate verbally, it does not have any creative thinking.
Perhaps it is more than enough to imitate ordinary people, but imitating a powerful planeswalker like Zuo Si, who has distinctive character traits and unique way of thinking, will easily reveal flaws.
Especially those eyes, unlike the original body, which seems to be able to see through a person from head to toe.
In addition, there is no silver fire in the body of the simulacrum, so the voters of the Magic Goddess will find something wrong after a little induction.
"No.
The master is probably dealing with some more important matters and may not be back for a few days.
If you encounter any problems or troubles, please tell me first.
He gave me enough power before he left."

Vera is neither humble nor overbearing, and looks businesslike.
This is also one of her most admirable advantages.
No matter what the other person’s identity, origin, or personal strength is, this woman can always remain calm and collected.
Alustriel couldn't help but complain: "What's more important? Damn it! What's more important than solving the current crisis and establishing a unified empire? This is his country!"
Vera spread her hands with an innocent look: "Sorry, madam, I don't know anything.
Maybe the master is busy saving some other plane or time and space.
You should know that he is a planeswalker and does not belong only to the continent of Faerûn on the planet Toril.
And the current situation is far from bad enough that he needs to personally take action.
Doesn’t Fuzoul Chamberry want to negotiate?
Then we can have a negotiation as he wishes."
"No! You don't understand that now it's not just a matter of negotiation, but the political situation within the Kingdom of Cormyr is experiencing severe turmoil.
The annihilation of more than 300 noble knights made many nobles in the country feel strongly dissatisfied and even unwilling to support the royal family.
The rocky land north of the Stormhorn Mountains, which had finally been stabilized, is now in danger due to the loss of the support of the nobles.
Dangerous Rock Keep is currently under attack by thousands of goblins, gnolls, orcs and local human barbarian tribes. It is difficult to say whether there is support from the Zhentarim behind it.
The most important thing is that Bran Yongsword, who was appointed Baron of Rockland, was assassinated at this sensitive moment, and was in a dangerous situation where he was seriously injured and unable to command the army to fight back.
If Perilous Rock Castle is lost, the hinterland of the Kingdom of Cormyr will suffer a catastrophe, eventually causing the royal family to completely lose its prestige and dominance.
Once the Kingdom of Cormyr falls into civil strife, the entire valley and Cormanthor will also follow suit.
Coupled with the civil war in Sembia, the power of Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim will expand unprecedentedly.
This is a huge threat to all people who long for peace and tranquility."
Storm Silverhand spoke out about the terrible situation in the entire region.
A quick glance at the map shows that a large area of land located east of the Aenook Desert and close to the coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars is basically a confrontation between the two regional powers, the Kingdom of Cormyr and Zhentil Keep.
If the Kingdom of Cormyr declines or falls, then Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim will take the opportunity to expand.
Elminster and the Harper Alliance alone are unable to stop the spread of this trend.
Once Zhentil Keep successfully annexes the land and population outside the Kingdom of Cormyr, it will grow into the second Cyre ruled by red wizards.
Even more powerful than the latter.
After all, the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, will not engage in boring political systems such as parliamentary system and voting.
Instead, they will use all possible means to complete the centralization of power and mobilize all wealth and resources to launch wars of external expansion.
But unfortunately, Storm Silverhand's words did not impress Vera.
Instead of showing any nervousness, she smiled and asked: "What does that have to do with us?
I don’t believe that after suffering this big loss, Fu Zouer Chambery dared to set foot on this land again.
If he does this, then I guarantee that the war will no longer be limited to the Dragon Coast area, but will continue until the Sea of Moon burns Zhentil Keep to the ground.
Sorry, my position is as a member of the Six-person Council of Amn, so I will only be responsible for the members of the Amn Empire and the Trade Alliance.
As for other countries, unless they merge into Amn or join a trade alliance, I have no obligation to harm my own interests for the benefit of others."
Instantly!
Storm Silverhand's face became extremely ugly.
She originally thought that as long as Akatsuki showed its interests, the Trade Alliance that replaced the Northern Lords Alliance would definitely choose to side with her.
After all, if you want to do business, you must first avoid wars as much as possible and keep the surrounding areas in a peaceful state. Only then will trade prosper.
Especially Amn, which was founded on commerce, has always upheld the tradition of making money through harmony.
It is a pity that Storm Silverhand does not know that Amn's internal power structure has been almost split up for a long time. The parliament with legislative power is also useless, and the major families have been beaten so hard that they dare not say a word.
Otherwise, those few examples of being dismembered by the commercial version of the promotion order will happen to them again in minutes.
To be precise, today's major families in Amn have gradually changed from the previous crazy monopoly and expansion to how to maintain the accumulated wealth.
You must know that those heirs who have no inheritance rights are now eagerly waiting for the family to be forcibly split up so that they can get a piece of the pie.
Backed by the government's promise not to confiscate property, some nobles and wealthy businessmen's children would even secretly provide evidence of their families' crimes.
As the saying goes, "People don't worry about scarcity but inequality."
How come we all have the same blood, so you can inherit such a huge family fortune but I can’t?
There were no legal provisions in this area before, so everyone just tolerated it.
After all, by relying on a big family, you can still get some benefits.
But now, I can get more as long as the family is divided, why should I let another person take it all?
Especially after being allocated a large amount of property, some people who were originally abandoned and marginalized can move to the countryside to enjoy a prosperous and beautiful life, instead of staying in the big city and being constantly despised and ridiculed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Kui Lu immediately stood up and changed the subject, saying in a slightly relaxed tone: "The war is almost over now. If possible, I would like to take the dark elves back to Dragon Spear Castle and check the underground by the way.
What do you think of the city's construction progress?"
"Yes. Thank you and your Dark Elf allies for your assistance. I think every member of the Trade Alliance will be impressed by their performance in the war."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Vera answered affirmatively with a smile.
The original purpose of letting the dark elves participate in the war was to break prejudices and make the major city-states of the Trade Alliance familiar with them, or at least tolerate their existence.
Now that this goal has been basically achieved, there is no need for them to continue to suffer casualties.
After all, the number of dark elves who believe in Eilistraee is not large in the first place, so it is better to stay and reproduce and produce more offspring.
Otherwise, once they are attacked by followers of the Spider Goddess Rose, most of them will be killed or injured in one fell swoop.
"Thank you, it is our honor to serve for the alliance."
Kui Lu put one hand on her chest and bowed slightly.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the door, and immediately screamed: "Soss?! You...are back?"
"Yes, I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. I have to say that this Iron Princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr really caused a lot of trouble."
Zuo Si sighed helplessly.
Instantly!
The originally tense atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.
Whether it was Laila who was frowning or Alustriel who looked a little irritable, they couldn't help but smile slightly.
Because these two voters of the Magic Goddess know that from the moment this young man appears in front of them, all troubles are no longer a problem.
"Soth, a political crisis has broken out within the Kingdom of Cormyr. I think you should know what it means, right?"
Storm Silverhand quickly asked.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, I have obtained enough information before coming here, and I am considering what to do to calm the situation down.
Now, go and call the representatives from each town in the alliance.
Especially Aribes, who has been criticized a lot.
Next, I will announce some decisions in public."
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Without saying a word, Vera immediately gave orders to the attendants at the door, and the simulacrum was also teleported back to the mage tower.
After a while, the originally empty room was filled with hundreds of delegates.
Aribes from Neverwinter has obviously been under tremendous pressure recently, and is no longer as high-spirited as before. Not only is her face pale and haggard, but her long flowing hair has also lost its luster, and the ends have become a bit dull.
Dry and bifurcated ends, and obvious dark circles can be seen around the eyes, which is obviously a sign of extremely poor sleep quality.
