Politics is a complex game.
In Waterdeep City, no one is the master of this city. Even the nobles who rule here have to make concessions and compromises in the face of the evil forces in the underground world. No one can do anything without any worries unless he wants to make everyone an enemy.
? Struggle and compromise are the essence of this game!
When the Bloody Hand Gang's special tobacco spread rapidly in this port city, these predators were keenly aware of the smell of profit and blood. This cheap and practical magic material can absorb a large amount of Kindler in a very short time, which can be said to be an amazing wealth. More than five hundred pounds of goods were lost in the market and digested without a trace.
If it were other places, it might not go so smoothly, but Waterdeep City is different.
It is the shipping hub of the entire south. A large amount of supplies are handled here every day. Merchant ships from all directions and from all walks of life transfer their goods and replenish supplies here.
Every businessman is eager to fill his cabin and return to his hometown full of wealth.
It is not that there are no hallucinogenic plants in Faer?n. Blue magic powder is a popular casting material among mages. It can not only bring a full sense of excitement and hallucinations, but also temporarily improve intelligence and charm. Even the side effects are extremely mild. The only The disadvantage is that it is expensive!
Death is expensive, death is expensive!
Inherited arcane items are not the most expensive, only more expensive. The price of this rare spell material can make a low-level mage go bankrupt, and being addicted to blue magic can make the king sell himself. The Terror of the Crown.
In addition, there are hallucinogenic drugs such as pain water, Modin tea, etc., but none of them are as cheap as special tobacco. The price is so low that a Kindler can buy a pound and then smoke it. What a pleasure. This plant has no special environmental requirements or harsh cultivation conditions.
A low-level druid can plant a large area.
It is simply an important economic crop that strengthens the country and enriches the people! In less than twenty years, in every piece of land in Faer?n, anyone with a little money can lie on their own bed, smoke and enjoy this cheap happiness.
It can create countless economic benefits, and it will become the most important spice on the sea route. Yes, this cheap and ¡®harmless¡¯ tobacco is regarded by many as a spice gifted by the gods. Even the priests of the God of Order who are most hostile to hallucinogenic substances have to admit that the harm this tobacco does to the body is really not worth mentioning.
"Compared with other dangers on the continent of Faer?n, it's just a little addictive. You can quit it ten to eight times a day, and the withdrawal reaction is as gentle as the comfort of a god.
Many priests of the Chaos Gods have used this spice in rituals, like the Lady of Joy, and its effects have been praised. Some chaotic good gods even encourage believers to accept these things to enhance the spiritual communication between believers and gods.
In fact, most of the first batch of people who ordered this special tobacco were major temples. They would use these things in gatherings and prayer ceremonies. Some priests would also use them in their private prayers to seek blessings in the underworld. Become one with God and feel the Word of God.
Chen Ang expressed his admiration for these psychology masters who are proficient in self-hypnosis and hypnosis. With this special spice, their self-hypnosis efficiency has been effectively improved, which makes people sigh: Since ancient times, high-quality medicine has been paired with magic sticks! And quickly launched a special version of special spices, using more complex and cumbersome formulas and more gorgeous packaging to kill these fat sheep.
Over the past few days, every morning in Waterdeep City, the city wakes up in the mist. In the aristocratic district, the extravagant nobles have begun to burn these spices in their mansions, making them smoke and float as if they were in a dream. Such a prosperous scene amazed every merchant who came to Waterdeep City.
¡°It¡¯s really a ¡®dream city¡¯!¡± an insider praised.
"What a sinful city!" Chen Ang said expressionlessly as he looked at the city shrouded in smoke.
Not everything in this world is what he expected. Just like he would never have expected that Faer?n would praise this special medicine. Druids were happy for it, mages regarded it as a treasure, and even the gods Also bless it! The dwarves love it, mixing it with tobacco in the mines, and the elves love it, emptying illusions in meditation.
When Chen Ang saw special tobacco being traded openly in the streets and alleys, his men were running around and bargaining like businessmen. He saw the smiles in the slums and swept away the previous numbness and decadence. They were in everything On the land that can be planted, tobacco is planted and dried in front of and behind the house.
??I saw children from the slums carrying dried tobacco leaves in rough wooden boxes, running around in the streets and alleys, avoiding tax officials, and selling tobacco to the whole city. I saw young people in the slums rushing to join the Bloody Hand Gang, which they were originally very afraid of. In order to protect their own tobacco leaves, they fought to the death with rival gangs.
Chen Ang had to admit that he had greatly underestimated Faerun's sin and depravity.
Although the process was a bit strange and twisted, Chen Ang finally achieved his goal. The villains of the Blood Hand Gang still carried daggers and poisons, walking in the streets and alleys, but they no longer hid in the shadows, doing Instead of doing sneaky things, he went in and out of Waterdeep City's commercial places openly and used obscure language to confront merchants.
The new force led by Lek dressed like a gentleman and behaved like a noble. They imitated the feeling that Chen Ang brought to them immaturely, while the supplementary force in the slums were also harshly trained. environment and receiving the most rigorous training, they will become as familiar with their daggers as they are with their lovers.
A big network that can be controlled spreads out bit by bit from the slums, and the end of this big network is in Chen Ang's hands, bringing him power and threats.
¡°The whole city is watching and waiting, like wolves watching for lambs, hostile and wary of each other, reaching a fragile and short-lived balance. Soon this group of predators will pounce on us who have huge interests. !" Lek's expression was serious, and he held his arms with warnings he had received from different channels.
"Then they will find out who the jackal is!" Chen Ang said with a smile, twirling the ring symbolizing rights and tokens on his right index finger.
"Many people are waiting for our expression! Your Excellency!" Lieke couldn't help but said: "It's not that no one is on our side. The enemies of the Thieves Guild and some other organizations hope to reach a certain range of cooperation with us."
"What are they expecting?" Chen Ang asked with a smile: "This world is complex and has checks and balances. There are enough constraints around every behemoth, because the world is balanced, and there must be someone at the other end of the bargaining chip. Equal weights, every existence, has its own elements of checks and balances.¡±
"This is politics! Through this game, we can use this balance, like goblins stepping between two behemoths, walking around to maintain balance and stability, selling most of our interests, and protecting what we can eat. Part of it. Then struggle in the coming storm and waves, use all your strength, pay all costs, and survive.¡±
"Then the organization will become stable and strong!" Chen Ang spread his hands and looked into Lieke's eyes.
"Yes, Your Excellency! This is the price we must endure and pay!" Lieke mustered up his courage and bit his lower lip.
Chen Ang showed a playful smile and looked at him quietly with eyes that Lek could not figure out. The only sound in the air was the sound of Chen Ang tapping the walnut table, which was very obvious in the quiet room.
In this suffocating silence, Lieke's mind went blank. He had to focus on his pulse and feel the powerful beatings one after another.
Once, twice, three times
There was a long sigh in his ears, like a bottomless tearing cry, which made the fear in Lieke's heart uncontrollably control him, causing him to almost collapse to the ground.
After sighing, Chen Ang's calm voice came: "Lek! Lek! What illusion makes you think that I am someone who needs to be patient? Is it my usual tolerance and low-key, or is it my too kind style? Or is it? Is it those provocations, those rumors that affect your judgment?"
A steady and strong hand was placed on his shoulder. Chen Ang gently pushed open the back door of the secret room and led Lek forward along the long passage. Soon, a blazing red river appeared in front of Lek. before.
On the lava river, the muscular ogre held up a sledgehammer and hit the steel plate in his hand, revealing the prototype of a round ax the size of a human head. In the lava river, goblins and kobolds pushed the ore into the blazing underground fire, and the molten steel was collected along the conduits into the huge blast furnace.
Lieke watched as a furnace of pure molten steel was poured out from inside. The huge steel ingot was ravaged by a hydraulic press hundreds of feet high like dough. The steel plate was rolled out by heavy hammers. The huge machinery drove hundreds of thousands of pounds of cast iron. His head hit the steel plate.
The hard plate armor was cast in one piece, and sophisticated weapons were piled in the corner for free.
Tens of thousands of goblins, urged by some goblins that sprayed blue smoke, injected unknown black medicine into their bodies. Armor with burrs and frosted was tied to their bodies in a mess. In the distance, food A mixed army composed of human demons and kobolds held up a variety of pure steel weapons, and the aura of cruelty raged in the smelting plant.
Lieke held his breath as he watched. He stared nervously at the orderly but yet crazy and wanton evil army. He had even forgotten that he had walked in openly and instinctively shrank to where he could. A corner that gives you a sense of security.
He heard clearly, Chen Ang said softly: "We are not the passive ones! Lieke, you should know what to do!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?In the smelter.
