A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"What do you want, Draco?"

Zuo Si raised his head and looked at the guy who had been avoiding him since school started.

Because the crushing battle in the Slytherin common room completely left a big shadow in Malfoy's heart, so much so that he would subconsciously turn around and run away whenever they met.

He was very curious about what this guy wanted to say when he suddenly had the courage to run up to him today.

"I want to talk to you, alone." Malfoy glanced at Hermione and said solemnly.

"I'm going outside to get some air."

The girl stood up and walked out of the car without saying anything, choosing to avoid it.

In her opinion, this should be a conversation within Slytherin House, so she, a Gryffindor house person, should not get involved.

When Hermione was completely gone, Malfoy signaled to the two followers to guard the door while he walked in like a little adult, took out an envelope from his arms and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Zuo Si asked calmly.

"My father Lucius Malfoy asked me to pass it on to you. He said that you will understand after reading it." Malfoy replied very cautiously.

It can be seen that this young master who has been pampered since childhood does not actually want to get close to the "dangerous person" in front of him, but he does not dare to disobey the task assigned by his father, so his mental state is very nervous and fearful.

The pretense of calm now is completely fake.

Realizing that Draco was just a messenger, Zuo Si immediately turned his attention to the envelope on the table, picked it up, opened it and glanced at it twice. A playful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked meaningfully: "Do you know this?" What’s the content of the letter?”

"I don't know." Malfoy shook his head slightly.

"I don't know for the best. Because the content of this letter will subvert your understanding of your father. If there is nothing else, you can leave with the two followers outside."

After that, Zuo Si stuffed the letter back into the envelope and made a gesture of chasing people away.

Because now Draco is still a child who doesn't understand anything, and all he can think about is how to take revenge on Harry Potter for embarrassing himself in public.

It would be four or five years after the two fell in love and killed each other that they would truly realize how childish and ridiculous their previous behavior was.

There is no way, who told this is the stage that human beings must go through to grow, and no one can escape.

"What did my father say to you in the letter?" Malfoy asked very curiously.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied: "It's nothing special, it's just a way of survival that some pure-blood families continue to this day. Believe me, these things are a little too early for you. You should continue to find Harry. Potter, let go of the twisted and sick love in your heart. Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you. After all, in Britain, this kind of thing has long been commonplace."

"You... what are you talking about! I... Potter and I are not the kind of relationship you said." Malfoy's face turned red in shock and anger.

He couldn't imagine how bad his reputation in school would become if these words got out.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is, anyway, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive your own heart."

The corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, admiring the other party's angry look.

"you do this delibrately?!"

Malfoy seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.

At this moment, for the first time, he regretted his impulsive behavior at the beginning of school.

At the same time, I finally understood that this person of the same age who seemed to be about the same age as me was simply a living devil playing with people's hearts.

"Haha, what do you think?"

Zuo Si deliberately turned his gaze to the carriage door.

Only then did Malfoy realize that Crabbe and Goyle were staring at him with horrified eyes, obviously having heard the content of the conversation just now.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and without even bothering to argue with Zuo Si, he walked out and took his two followers and disappeared into the car at the end of the corridor outside.

If nothing else goes wrong, there is basically nothing else to do along the way, and most of the time will probably be wasted on explaining one's "innocence" with Harry Potter.

A few minutes after the three of them left, Hermione returned leisurely back the way she came. She suppressed a smile and asked, "What did you just say to Malfoy? He seemed a little out of sorts."

"Nothing, just a little mention of the bad relationship between him and Harry." Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.

"Bad fate?!"

Hermione's eyes suddenly shone slightly when she heard this word, and the fire of gossip burned in her heart.

Zuo Si smiled half-heartedly and explained: "That's right. This is a story about love and hatred, and it is also a story about an extremely twisted and morbid heart. Guess, why Malfoy always likes to cause trouble for Harry?"

"Uh... is it because of the conflict at the door on the first night of school?" Hermione asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, and no. I believe that with your intelligence, you should be able to see that Malfoy wanted to make friends with Harry, right?" Zuo Si induced him step by step.

Hermione lowered her head and recalled for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, yes. But does this have any inevitable connection with Malfoy later causing trouble for Harry?"

"Of course it does! Have you ever heard of the term love breeds hate?

In fact, our arrogant Master Malfoy has always been deeply in love with Harry in his heart.

It was just that when he confessed his love in public for the first time and was rejected, he felt humiliated, so he frantically used trouble-making methods to attract Harry's attention.

In addition, Malfoy was jealous of the close relationship between Ron and Harry.

So under the influence of various negative emotions, this love was gradually distorted and finally became what we see. "

Zuo Sisha analyzed it carefully and matter-of-factly.

Although he knew that he was just doing a prank when he had nothing to do, the girl's young mind was greatly stimulated, and her pupils rapidly expanded, contracted, and then expanded uncontrollably to show the owner's violent mood swings.

About two or three minutes later, Hermione suddenly came to her senses, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my god! This... this is simply unbelievable! No wonder I always feel that Malfoy looks at Harry and Ron's eyes always look weird. But I heard that the wizarding world is not very conservative? Why...how could there be an alien like Malfoy?"

"Conservative?" Zuo Si sneered at this. "Believe me, the wizarding world is far more open in this regard than you can imagine. Do you know that our principal Dumbledore always likes to wear a conspicuous witch hat? Do you know why he never gets married at such an old age? Don’t you have any children?”

"Why?!"

Hermione's curiosity was completely aroused.

“Because Dumbledore’s lover was Gellert Grindelwald, the dark wizard who was defeated by him. They met and fell in love when they were very young, and even made a blood pact to never hurt each other. "Zuo Si unceremoniously revealed the secret that his principal had hidden deep in his heart.

"Huh?! Is this true?"

Hermione's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Although she had read a lot of books, none of them recorded the inside information that only the parties involved knew.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Of course it is true. Our principal, Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest wizard of our time, is actually a very sad person.

When he was young, his biological sister was accidentally seen by several Muggle children because of her use of magic, and was then crazily insulted and abused. As a result, her father broke out in revenge and was eventually imprisoned in Azkaban. until death.

After graduating from school, he met Gellert Grindelwald.

The two hit it off, and because their ideals and desires were very similar, they quickly fell in love.

They even wanted to overturn the Law of Secrecy and build a world dominated by wizards.

How about it, doesn’t it sound incredible?

The great white wizard was actually an out-and-out black wizard at the beginning.

I can assure you that Voldemort, who must not even be named, is nothing compared to Dumbledore's attainments in the dark arts.

However, due to an accident, Dumbledore and his brother Aberforth had a quarrel, and Grindelwald later joined in, eventually triggering a melee between the three.

No one knew who it was, but he suddenly released a terrible spell, accidentally hitting his young sister Ariana, killing her on the spot.

From this day on, Dumbledore lost everything, whether it was family or love, all left him.

The only biological brother who survived, he will never forgive him for his sister's death.

He himself didn't know whether it was because of guilt or other reasons, but he gradually embarked on a path that ran counter to Grindelwald, and thus lost love.

So don’t be deceived by the rhetoric and flattery in books.

The real Albus Dumbledore was not great from the beginning, but many accidents and mistakes shaped his image in people's eyes today.

He is just a human being, he has the same joys and sorrows as you and me, has his own favorite foods and drinks, and most importantly, makes the same mistakes. "

There is no doubt that Dumbledore's rough life experience was definitely a big shock to Hermione.

The girl even sat there for a long time with dull eyes. After finally digesting the information, she raised her head and asked in a shocked tone: "How do you know this?"

"Don't forget, I know Nico Flamel. As an old man over 600 years old, he knows a lot of secrets. And I also got a thick alchemy notebook from him." Zuo Si He raised the heavy book in his hand and shook it.

This was a gift left by Nico Flamel before he left Hogwarts, hoping that he could successfully create a second Philosopher's Stone, rather than letting this valuable skill be completely lost.

"Nicholas Flamel's Alchemical Notes?!"

Hermione stared at the black cover, feeling her mouth go dry, and immediately realized its inestimable value.

"Yes, including the complete manufacturing process of the Philosopher's Stone. To be honest, if you don't see it with your own eyes, outsiders may never know how something like the Philosopher's Stone is made."

After that, Zuo Si casually closed the entire notebook without any intention of showing it to the girl.

Because the content in this notebook, including many parts about making black magic items, is not suitable for an eleven or twelve year old girl to read.

It turns out that all wizards have some level of so-called black magic.

The older the wizard and the longer he lives, the more in-depth his research is in this area.

In Nicol Flamel's notes, cutting off the hands of a hanged man and using them to make "Hands of Glory" was nothing.

There are many heavy-tasting things in it, not even much worse than Faerun's necromancy magic.

Especially in his exploration of life and death, this alchemist went deeper and further than most wizards.

"So...you are now a disciple of the greatest alchemist, Nicolas Flamel?" Hermione's tone revealed strong envy.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, my relationship with Nico Flamel is not what you think, but closer to mutual exchange of experiences in alchemy and making magic items. He handed this notebook to Give it to me, mainly because you don’t want your research to be lost after death. Well, don’t always stare at this notebook, it is not something you can touch now.”

"When can that happen?" Hermione asked impatiently.

"At least third grade. It depends on your growth rate. After all, alchemy is very dangerous, and it is much more difficult to learn than magic spells or potions."

Zuo Si thought for a while and gave a deadline.

Because starting from the third grade, the teaching materials of Hogwarts began to have a clear trend from elementary to advanced.

Some spells and potions that even adult wizards may not be able to master are taught at this stage.

Of course, it is not known how much one can truly learn from teaching.

Anyway, the results of the O.W.Ls exam will not lie.

In fact, out of a bad taste, Zuo Si even planned to wait a year or two to sell an exercise book called "Three Years Owls and Five Years Newts" to the Hogwarts students, so that these little wizards could feel the magic. The tragic involution of the students in the melon world.

In this relaxed chat, the Hogwarts Express arrived at its destination without even realizing it.

When they walked out of platform nine and three-quarters, the Grangers immediately hugged their daughter and asked about the difference between the magical world and the ordinary world.

When Hermione finished answering all the questions and turned around to look for Zuo Si, she was shocked to find that he had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

"Hermione, what are you looking at?" Mr. Granger asked very curiously.

"I'm looking for a classmate to come back with.

His name is Soth, and like me, he comes from a Muggle family.

But he has made amazing achievements in just a few months of being exposed to the magical world.

He also pioneered the invention of spell storage technology.

Many wizard newspapers and media even claimed that he would be a great wizard leading an era in the future.

do you know? He can even read a book in just a few minutes and then memorize the entire book backwards..."

As soon as Zuo Si was mentioned, the girl immediately talked non-stop, her eyes showing unabashed admiration.

Seeing their daughter's appearance, Mr. and Mrs. Granger immediately exchanged a look, then burst into laughter.

Hermione asked in astonishment: "Why are you laughing?"

"No, it's nothing. We just didn't expect that you, who have always been smart, proud, conceited and stubborn, would actually admire other people. Tell me, is this boy named Soth handsome?" Mrs. Granger said in a tone of voice With a hint of joking.

She also thought that with her daughter's personality, she might not be able to make friends if she suddenly changed the environment.

But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

"Ouch! What are you talking about! We are just classmates and friends, not what you think. As for his appearance, there is a Daily Prophet here. You will know after reading it."

With that said, Hermione blushed and quickly took out a copy of the Daily Prophet from her collection and handed it to her parents.

As out-and-out Muggles, it was obviously the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Granger to see a moving photo, and they immediately made a sound of surprise.

However, in order not to arouse the thoughts of other people around them, they quickly left the station and got into their car, and then started reading this influential newspaper in the wizarding world in the cab.

When he read Rita Skeeter's disgusting flattery report, Mr. Granger was stunned and immediately asked without looking back: "Hermione, can this classmate of yours really do this?" Read a book in a few minutes and then recite it word by word backwards?”

The girl responded without thinking: "Of course! I have tested it myself.

I think that even if Soth fails to become a wizard, he will at least become a very powerful scientist.

Because since I was a child, I have never seen anyone as smart as him.

It seems that no matter what kind of knowledge, you can learn it immediately after reading it once.

He taught me half of the spells I know now.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you.

When I was in school, I earned a lot of gold galleons by working as an assistant to Zuo Si. "

While she was talking, Hermione quickly took out a homemade leather bag from her suitcase, and then fell onto the car seat.

moment!

There is a small glittering golden mountain piled on top of this one.

"Oh my God! How much is this?" Mrs. Granger suddenly exclaimed.

"Maybe four thousand, maybe five thousand, I haven't counted it specifically. But it should be enough to pay for the next semester." Hermione gave a rough number.

Unlike the Weaslaiga twin brothers who joined later, since she had been helping Zuo Si from the beginning, she naturally received extra large bonuses.

Especially custom-made “staff rings” with reliefs and emblems for ancient families from England, France, and Germany can often earn profits of three, four, or even five thousand gold galleons each.

"What is the main job of an assistant?" Mr. Granger had a puzzled look on his face.

As a dentist, he was originally from a high-income group in society, so he had no idea how he could make so much money in a short period of time.

What's more, they are still two students from a magic school.

According to the exchange rate given by Gringotts, one galleung is equivalent to five pounds.

Five thousand galleons equals approximately twenty-five thousand pounds.

This was definitely a huge sum of money in 1991, and even the total income of many middle-class families without food or water for a year.

Hermione obviously noticed her father's reaction and explained with a smile: "Thos invented a device that can be put on a wand and store a spell.

This device can give wizards a certain advantage in duels and defense against enemy attacks.

Therefore, many wealthy and powerful ancient European families came to him to make custom orders.

On average, Soth can make a very generous profit for every one produced.

My task is to help process the materials and shape those metals into the patterns and shapes the customer needs through transformation magic.

Professor McGonagall also praised me, saying that my transformation magic was at least as good as that of a fourth grade student. "

"My little Hermione is great! Mom is so proud of you! It seems you have really made good friends in school." Mrs. Granger excitedly held her daughter in her arms.

Mr. Granger also smiled happily and nodded: "This boy named Soth is really good. Why don't you invite him to spend Christmas together?"

"I've invited him. But he has a lot of things to do during the holidays, and he also has to buy a lot of things, so he doesn't have time to celebrate Christmas." Hermione spread her hands helplessly.

"Haha! Don't be discouraged! You can also invite him to come and play at home during the holidays after the semester. I also want to see what kind of peers you can convince yourself of."

After saying that, Mr. Granger glanced at the photo of Zuo Si in the Daily Prophet from the corner of his eye, then quickly started the car and drove away.

After all, the weather in London in December is wet and cold, and apart from homeless people, not many sane people would be willing to stay outdoors for too long.

…

At the same time, Zuo Si also used apparation to return to the house he bought in London.

Although the Ministry of Magic monitors all underage wizards, it is easier for him to avoid them than to eat and drink.

You can either use prophecy magic to block tracking, or you can use a second wand you make yourself.

Yes!

Not long after school started, Zuo Si secretly found a piece of wood that could be used to make a wand on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and made himself a spare wand in case of emergency.

When he opened the door and walked into the living room, the shadow assassin Yelnia who stayed here immediately appeared, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

"Master, you are back."

"During my absence, nothing happened, right?"

Zuo Si asked, waving his wand and casting a cleaning spell to clean up the dust on the floor, table and bed.

"No, everything is very quiet. This world is very safe." Yelnia quickly answered in the affirmative.

"In that case, let's go back."

With that said, Zuo Si took out a card from his hand that he made by entering the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

[Land Card: Legendary Land—Hogwarts Forbidden Forest]

[LV8 green card (can be upgraded)]

[Card quality: unique]

[Effect: When this card takes effect, it can provide 30 points of general mana and 40 points of green mana every day.

And summoned creatures using all green cards will receive additional bonuses on their basic attributes such as strength, agility, and constitution, and will randomly gain an additional special ability.

This ability is closely related to the creature itself and can only take effect within the influence of the land card]

[Using this card does not require mana consumption]

[If this card effect is damaged or destroyed by other magical forces, it will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth for eighty days]

There is no doubt that this LV8 land card is a typical one used to strengthen green summoned creatures.

Since the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, like the castle, has certain powerful magical powers, it is very easy to attract all kinds of magical animals to gather here.

What Zuo Si knows so far is the Centaur Tribe, the Werewolf Tribe, the Unicorn, the Eight-Eyed Spider, the Thestral, the Sniff, the Hippogriff, the Bowtruckle, and several kinds of snake heels with magical abilities. A lot of messy things were kept inside by Hagrid.

In addition, there are also a large number of rare plants used in high-level potions. There are more than a hundred trees that can be used to make flying broomsticks and wands.

According to the original plan, Zuo Si planned to make a Hogwarts land card.

It's a pity that Dumbledore never gave him such a chance, so he had to make do with a Forbidden Forest first.

No hesitation!

Before opening the portal, Zuo Si directly used this land card, and then used the power of sparks to tear apart the space.

In the blink of an eye, he returned from the magical earth to his own mage tower.

The tower consciousness immediately conveyed the news to everyone.

In less than two minutes, Isadora was the first to rush over and hug Zuo Si. She greedily smelled the familiar smell on his body and said excitedly: "You are finally back!"

"Yes, I'm back. How's it going? Did you practice your psychic and magical abilities during my absence?" Zuo Si asked, stroking the girl's long hair gently.

He didn't know if it was because his body was starting to grow, but when the two of them came into close contact, he started to feel a little unusual.

"Of course! Vanessa praised me a few days ago, saying that I was the smartest apprentice he had ever seen in his life. Look, I already have my own spell book."

Isadora patted a large book wrapped in black scales hanging on the belt.

As an expert in manufacturing magic items and rare items, Zuo Si could tell at a glance that this item was made of black dragon skin. Its value was at least six thousand gold coins, and it was definitely not something that ordinary apprentices could afford.

Just when he was about to say something, several other portals placed between the portals behind him began to flash with dazzling arcane auras.

After a while, the lichs in the organization appeared one after another out of thin air.

You know without asking that they are here to inquire about the magic knowledge and skills of another world.

After all, Vanessa, Jeffrey and others had all been there once, and had also fought against Dumbledore, and were very interested in the technique of casting various spells by just waving a wand.

"You really didn't even give me time to breathe." Zuo Si sighed slightly.

"You know, we are all lichs and undead creatures, so we never think about breathing." Jeffrey joked humorously.

"Okay, okay, then let's have a meeting to discuss the value of magical knowledge and technology in that world. It just so happens that I also want to know the current status of the organization and what is happening on the west coast of Faerun."

Seeing the lichs all staring at him with expectant eyes, Zuo Si had no choice but to take out a large number of his daily notes translated into common language from his bag.

As if they had found a treasure, the former took it to the underground conference room, preparing to conduct a series of evaluations and tests on these knowledge and technologies.

Vanessa stayed and began to report to the leader of the organization.

Especially the development of the Nelanthel Islands, as well as the penetration and control of Baldur's Gate.

Since the last defeat treaty was signed, the four dukes of Baldur's Gate have completely broken up with each other and attracted all walks of life in the city to form two major interest groups for confrontation.

Among them, the interest group headed by Duke Iltan, although it has lost the support of most citizens and businessmen, still firmly holds the trump card of the Flame Fist mercenaries. As a result, its political opponents dare not push too hard for fear of this guy. The dog jumped over the wall and launched a major purge.

The Duke of Silver Shield, who was responsible for the defeat, did not step down sadly as many people expected.

On the contrary, by giving part of the port to the red-robed wizards as a concession, they gained support from Serge, as well as a stable supply of food and low-level magic items.

Although its power is far less astonishing than Quan Sheng's, it has successfully stabilized its position and gained a chance to make a comeback.

In contrast, Duke Belt and Grand Duchess Lila Janus won the support of most citizens by inciting public sentiment. At the same time, the Sanctuary Merchant Alliance did their best to seize market share, hoping to control Bode through such means. The economic lifeblood of the door.

As for those maritime merchants, they all turned to the Nelanser Islands.

Because only in this way can their navigation safety be guaranteed and they can receive the same treatment as other countries and city-states.

Among them, fortresses and arrow towers have been built on several islands located at the mouth of the Chongsa River. They are now equipped with a large number of slingshots and ballistae. They are like strong and powerful hands, tightly blocking the only exit from Baldur's Gate to the sea. .

This also means that Baldur's Gate has completely lost its ability to compete for hegemony at sea. In the future, it will have no other option except to be a vassal of the Nelanthel Islands.

It's just that because the maritime merchants abandoned Duke Silver Shield, they currently belong to the middle of the complex political situation and have no intention of getting involved in the internal fighting.

If nothing else happens, this situation will continue for a long time.

"Interesting! In other words, Baldur's Gate has now changed from a two-party confrontation to a three-party game. Are we one of them?" Zuo Si touched his chin with a playful expression.

"No, we are not one of them, but closer to the referee. As long as we get off the field, we can help one faction destroy the other at any time." Vanessa corrected meaningfully.

"Then continue to maintain the current status. Neither let the situation worsen, nor let the dukes have a chance to make peace. In addition, take advantage of the current turbulent situation in Baldur's Gate to attract as many craftsmen and technicians as possible to Nai Settle the Lancel Islands and develop our own base." Zuo Si quickly gave instructions.

"As you wish!" Vanessa agreed without hesitation. "There is another thing that may be of interest to you."

"Oh? What is it?" Zuo Si asked with interest.

“Not long ago, the expedition jointly funded by you and Bernard returned safely.

They not only discovered the Maztec continent across the sea, but also opened up a safe new route.

But the problem is that some of the accompanying sailors came forward to accuse Cordel, the captain of the expedition, and his golden mercenary group. Under the banner of Amn and the guard god Heim, they carried out attacks on the local residents after they landed ashore. Mass killing and looting.

They even deliberately spread diseases and plagues to indigenous people who had no ability to resist.

In addition, there are also very big differences between the two sides in terms of the distribution of spoils and benefits. Currently, the entire Askatra is in chaos. "

Vanessa didn't hide anything and straightforwardly told all the information she had collected.

Because he knew that Zuo Si himself was one of the top dignitaries in Amn, and he was also one of the main sponsors and had personal interests.

"In the name of Amn and the God of Guard Heim, they massacred and plundered the indigenous people? Is this guy named Cordel crazy? Isn't he afraid of being hunted down by the church of the God of Guard?" Zuo Si couldn't believe it. Raised an eyebrow.

The Lich immediately shook his head and explained: "Of course Cordel is not afraid. Because he and his golden mercenary group are part of a branch of the Church of Helm.

And according to his own statement, more than half of the money is intended to be donated to the church.

As this matter continued to ferment, many people in all surrounding countries and regions, including Amn, began to spurn the church of Heim, and a large number of believers changed their beliefs.

It is foreseeable that within a few years the influence of the Guardian God will decline significantly on the west coast. "

Good guy!

Hearing this breaking news, Zuo Si felt that the God of Guards, Heim, would like to descend into his incarnation and smash this bastard believer to death with a hammer for ruining his reputation.

Can mere mortal money and material things be compared with faith and influence?

I'm afraid there's something seriously wrong with this brain!

Other churches are desperately using the wealth and resources they have to attract believers and expand their influence in the material world.

But Cordell did the exact opposite.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how much a blow a mentally retarded and short-sighted believer can inflict on a church where gods live in the world.

You must know that the residents of Faerûn are not the Europeans who generally did not regard the indigenous people as human beings during the Age of Discovery. Instead, they have a very high moral level.

Behavior like this, rushing into people's homes to burn, kill, and loot, must be 100% defined as an extremely evil act.

Especially for good-leaning city-states and countries like Waterdeep, Silvermoon, Neverwinter, and Cormyr, even if your actions bring huge benefits to the entire country, you will be immediately arrested and tried.

But this is not necessarily the case in areas ruled by merchants and oligarchs such as Amn, Baldur's Gate, and Sembria.

However, Zuo Si didn't care at all about the plummeting influence of the guardian god Heim. Instead, he continued to ask: "What about Bernard and his father-in-law? How did they handle this matter?"

"They are all very smart. They did not let themselves intervene directly. Instead, they invited the paladins of the Knights of the Hot Heart to arbitrate. Now they are fighting each other in lawsuits. But I think the reason why the six-person council has not expressed its stance is , probably because they are afraid that dealing with Cordell and his golden mercenary group may dampen the enthusiasm of the people for exploration. Of course, they may also be waiting for you to express your stance." Vanessa guessed, touching her chin.

"Waiting for me to express my position? I see. Then I will reluctantly stand up and deliver justice."

When saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"Meeting justice?" The Lich was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, justice."

With a dangerous smile on his face, Zuo Si quickly left the mage tower and came to Bernard's family mansion.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the young businessman sitting with his father-in-law, Sir Kelvin, discussing something quietly.

Next to the two people sat a man and a woman.

Among them, the male knew without asking that he was the heir of the Nasiva family - Babette.

The woman is his sister, Edith, who just recently became Bernard's legal wife.

As a guardian, the little giant Mukka stood far away, teasing a cow cat covered in black and white colors.

When he saw Zuo Si walking in from the door, the young businessman immediately stood up from the sofa and asked in a tone full of surprise: "Your Excellency Soth! Are you back? When?"

"Just now. I heard that the expedition team we funded encountered a little trouble, so I rushed over immediately to deal with it." Zuo Si responded with a smile.

"Great! I will have a backbone when you come back. Because the benefits of discovering the New World this time are so huge that I couldn't sleep for several days in a row."

Bernard pointed at the dark circles under his eyes and began to express his bitterness.

It can be seen that his nerves have been quite tense recently, and his whole person looks excited and anxious.

There is no way, who makes the interests involved too astonishing.

Many top families have begun to look covetously, hoping to grab a piece of fat from it.

"Hello, distinguished elector. I am glad to be your partner." Sir Kelvin greeted him politely.

Zuo Si immediately responded: "I am also very happy to cooperate with you, Sir. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely get the biggest share from this gluttonous feast."

"I have never doubted this. But the trouble now is that Cordel seems to have the support of the Church of Helm, the God of Guards, behind him, so we dare not give up easily." Sir Kelvin said with some embarrassment.

But Zuo Si smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. Not only will I make Cordell and his golden mercenary group infamous for thousands of years, but I will also turn them all into Blasphemers and heinous criminals will be sent to the execution ground and burned alive."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Bernard's eyes widened instantly.

"It's actually very simple! First cut off Cordel's connection with the Church of the God of Guard.

To be honest, what he did was definitely against Heim's teachings.

Therefore, I will initiate Divine Judgment to the Six-person Council and the Church of the Guardian God at the same time.

I believe that Heim would be very happy to kill this guy who ruined his reputation with his own hands, so as to wash away the dirty water that was poured on him.

As for the second step, let the judge judge the entire members of the Golden Mercenary Group according to their crimes and sentence them all to death one by one.

When all these guys disappear, all the interests of the New World will be in our hands, at least according to legal procedures.

The third step is to use these benefits to make a deal with the six-person council and give up almost 50% of the share in exchange for their support in establishing ports and cities.

Most importantly, we must not allow this expedition to be labeled evil.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will encounter hostility from many good deity churches and organizations.

In addition, all the property obtained from this expedition was given up in order to prove to the world that we and Cordell were not in the same group. "

Zuo Si calmly stated his plan.
