Dr. Green Dragon

  Chapter 1360 Push

(completed)

   After gaining a general understanding of Cesc's situation, Isaac did not stay in the Temple of Five Colors for long.

  Mrs. Miranda only made a slight adjustment to the focus of the recent investigation, directly using the "advanced teleportation technique", and he left the five-color temple soon.

   However, he did not go directly to Cesc.

   Reappeared, he suddenly appeared in the sea area outside the Sergante Bay.

   Another teleportation light flashed, and the figure reached the dark seabed.

  It is completely different from the last time I came here.

  Last time, whether it was the crashed city of Sacross in the front, or the remnants of the undersea colony base here, there was a strong aura of magic enchantment.

   But at this time, not to mention the city of Sacrosse, because the smart holy artifact Mies was already in his hands, it completely lost its energy, so it fell into complete darkness.

  The legacy of this undersea colony base, at the same time, there is no magic effect anymore, and it is also plunged into complete darkness.

  But Isaac didn't have any accidents.

   Stepping silently in this dark ruin, after touching some places slightly.

   "Sure enough!"

  Isaac's eyes flickered slightly.

  He has already noticed it.

  Just like the Skull Harbor that has been reduced to ruins, the magical energy in this ruins has also been completely drained.

   Presumably, if he hadn't taken away the Miser energy core, or, if it wasn't for the City of Shadows attacking here at that time, then Gisverik would not have missed Miser.

   And now...

   Again, he confirmed his hunch.

   Outside the City of Shadows, he has another important target that must be guarded against!

  The transformation ceremony of the magic dragon must be completed as soon as possible, as far as possible, before both sides are ready, it must be unfolded and completed!

   Therefore, for Solomon's shot, this must also be done as soon as possible!

After all, there is absolutely no reconcilable premise for the conflict between Solomon and him, and he also believes that Solomon at this time must have been locked on him, and he already understands that he is An immediate hindrance to his eventual promotion.

  Such a confrontation, but whenever there is an opportunity, Solomon will never miss it!

  He is almost certain that if Solomon is not dealt with first, Solomon will inevitably take action when he starts the ceremony.

  Although he prepared two ceremonies, there is no need to miss the first one!

   Therefore, it is the most perfect to solve Solomon as soon as possible, and to complete the transformation in one step before the city of ghosts and Gisverik react as much as possible, and complete the transformation in the first ceremony!

  In the thought, once again, Isaac's figure disappeared silently.

  …

   Cesc.

   Cesc has always been a sparsely populated country.

  Especially in the past decade or so, the sparse population has become more serious than ever.

  The reason why...

  Ten years ago, Cesc was the main battlefield where the nomads invaded.

  The Tucans entered from Tuo Lei, and after a battle with the red-robed mages, Sazastan took the initiative to ally them and created a series of portals for them.

In this way, the Tucans first defeated Leatherman, then penetrated Cesc, crossed the strait, and hit the territory of Imbutu and Hantu, and finally fought with the hero king of Cormyr. The coalition launched a decisive battle.

The invasion of this nomadic people almost pierced through half of the continent, from the Eastern Region to the Longhu area, letting Cormyr and Sembia, the city-states of Longhu, Amn and the Silver Moon Alliance, and even The Zhentarim Society disregarded the faction confrontation and joined the coalition forces together, which finally defeated them.

   In this series of battles, even nearly half of them broke out in Cesc territory.

   Cesc, which was originally sparsely populated, was the vast majority of city-states and was destroyed in the war.

  Even after the war, Cesc quickly began to recover because of the golden trade route, but in the end, the large-scale reduction of the population made it impossible to recover quickly.

  To this day, even for a trading city like Fendt, which is located directly on the golden trade route, the population base is far from being restored to the level before the invasion.

So…

   "When did Governor Hicks hire so many orcs?"

  Fendt City, the inner city, outside a fortified boulder castle.

  Looking up at the castle, the groups of armored orcs with long tusks were just a few dwarfs coming in a carriage, all of them shrank their eyes.

  Fent City is a southern city, and its position has always been biased toward them and Aglalon. Therefore, the influence of orcs in Fendt City has always been small.

  Governor Hicks has no tradition of using the orc army.

but now…

   "Look at this equipment, look at this order, these orcs are probably related to the Zhentarim."

   "The governor can no longer resist the pressure of the cult, do you have to hire them?"

   "I'm afraid that's it."

   "Go and meet him first, and see how he speaks."

  Three dwarves, in the voice of communication between you and me.

   Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the castle.

   After a short notice, the gate of the castle was opened, and the carriage drove directly in.

   Since then, another waiter came over and took them to the castle hall.

  Governor Hicks is already waiting.

  The three dwarves just walked in.

  The governor, who could not hide his exhaustion, greeted him happily.

   "Elder Mitchell, my old friend, you are finally here."

  Elder Mitchell, this is the core elder of the dwarf family in the Dragon Jaw Mountains. He is in charge of the various exchanges between the dwarf family and Fendt. He is an old acquaintance of Governor Hicks.

   "The situation has changed again?"

   "Those orcs outside, are they all from Feishante?"

   After greeting Governor Hicks, Elder Mitchell asked straight to the point.

  Fishante, this is the base camp of the orcs in the territory of Cesk, and it is also the core stronghold of the Zhentarim here.

   Once, the last battle with the Tukan tribe ended here.

  After that, the orc army mobilized by the Zhentarim Club never returned to the Moon Sea, but stayed in Feishante directly.

"Two days ago, the one who claimed to be the 'God of the Lich' and the 'King of the Tomb' personally attacked and killed Archbishop Fielding of the Imbutu Punishment Church, and the church's holy artifact, the 'Wand of Retribution' has also been lost. In his hands!"

   "After that, this evil church became rampant. I had to temporarily hire these orc mercenaries to strengthen the defense of the castle."

   "I have sent another urgent message to the Dragon's Jaw Mountain Range. Old friend, please help me persuade the Great Elder. I am afraid that this matter can be completely resolved only if he persuades Queen Simbu himself."

   These words from Governor Hicks.

   The three dwarfs looked serious at the same time.

  Punish the archbishop of the Church who is in charge of the "Wand of Heaven's Retribution", but he failed to escape, and fell to Cesc!

  This kind of incident...

   "Do you have detailed information?"

  Elder Mitchell was dignified, but he was not in a hurry.

   It is certain that such incidents should be reported to the Great Elder.

   But now, since Governor Hicks has come into contact with the Zhentarim Society, he must find out more about the situation.

  The Zhentarim Society is not a peaceful organization, let alone non-aggressive.

  He must be sure, is there any design behind this matter, or even a trap?

   "Follow me."

  Governor Hicks did not hesitate, and then took the three of them to meet with some intelligence personnel and examine some of the evidence he had collected.

   Quickly determined the seriousness and urgency of the incident, and after that, Elder Mitchell did not dare to hesitate any longer.

  The elder of the dwarf clan, he himself is a powerful illusionist, and immediately used a "short message spell", in front of Governor Hicks, he directly contacted the great elder who sits in the Dragon's Jaw Mountain Range.

   Following his short and concise report.

  Governor Hicks' eagerness has slowed down a bit after all, and this is when he remembered that he must entertain his old friends well.

  However, under the current situation, Elder Mitchell has no interest in enjoying himself. After exchanging pleasantries with Governor Hicks, he didn't even stay in the Governor's Castle. The three dwarves just went out to check the information.

   In front of Governor Hicks, they couldn't say much directly.

However, when it comes to the Zhentarim, they always need more practical investigations, even... Just before leaving the Governor's Castle, Mitchell immediately sent another "SMS" in front of Governor Hicks On the other side of the Great Elder, the General Zhenta Forest Club also got involved, and reported to the Great Elder, and made an agreement with the Great Elder that the two parties should keep in touch regularly to avoid accidents, and they didn't realize it yet.

   And these dwarfs, after leaving the castle, quickly hid themselves in the city.

the other side.

  The outer city, in a hotel guarded by orc mercenaries, is very busy with caravans.

  Second floor.

  Looking down at the convoys, Isaac was thoughtful.

   It has been two days since we arrived in Fendt.

  After two days of observation, he unexpectedly discovered that this trade route known as the "Golden Road" is actually not inferior to the "trade route" in the Western Continent.

   Even, because the "Golden Road" transported all the materials from other regions, and there was no local output, the value of the goods in a caravan of the same size was much higher than that of the "Trade Road".

  Similarly, when returning to that foreign land, the commodities brought from here will naturally become rare goods when they arrive there, and the value will naturally be higher than here.

   "If the endless wilderness is not too long, and there are obstacles to magic, this business route is still very valuable for development."

"pity…"

  The hesitation in his heart, another ray of regret, was a flash in Isaac's heart.

  It's a pity that those nomads in the endless wilderness are not easy to provoke.

   To pass this "golden road", it is not only necessary to pay tribute to the nomads, but also to be robbed by "unknown origin" from time to time.

  If it weren't for the fact that this "Golden Road" is really as its name suggests, as long as it goes back and forth successfully once, it will be able to return with a full load of gold. I am afraid that there are really few people who will develop such a business route.

   "Nomads!"

   "Tukan Tribe!"

   While thinking in his mind, Isaac thought of something else.

  Since the first meeting with Hailast, he has issued an investigation order.

It is said that before the era of the ancient kingdom, in the era when the Imasca Empire ruled the entire Eastern Region, the Endless Wilderness did not seem to be a place of complete magic death. In that era, the Imasca people should have ruled These nomads.

   This kind of rule was completely ended with the coming of those **** kings, but at the same time, the endless wilderness was also completely reduced to a place of magic death in this war, so...

   "The place of magic death, this may also prevent the ancient empire from completely erasing the Imascar civilization."

   "Perhaps, in the hands of those nomads, there are no relics!"

   "In this way..."

   Isaac suddenly had a plan in his heart.

   Although the "Golden Road" is unstable, its profit margin is sufficient. If at the same time, there is a chance to get in touch with the secrets of ancient Imasca, this is of significance for development.

   But there is no rush, this kind of thing, might as well let the merchants under the Dragon Sect try it first.

  In recent years, it is definitely impossible for him to personally control such development, at most, he will invest a certain amount of guarding power.

   is this consideration.

   There were several knocks on the door outside.

  The spy Miranda arranged here has arrived.

   "My lord, the emissaries of the dwarfs in the Dragon's Jaw Mountains have arrived, and an elder is personally leading the team."

  The matter of the governor's castle seems to be completely hidden from them.

   This is actually normal.

  Reconstruction after the catastrophe, Governor Hicks' own military strength is very insufficient, so the orc mercenaries from Fei Shante were hired.

   Orc mercenaries are all hired, so there is no need to say anything else.

  Among these spies, it was someone who also accepted the employment of Governor Hicks and worked for him in a serious manner.

And with the arrival of Isaac, the information held here was continuously passed on to Governor Hicks through the hired spies, and the information could stand scrutiny and verification …

  Naturally, these spies have all become Governor Hicks' capable officers.

   They have direct contact with Elder Mitchell.

   "Continue as planned."

"yes."

  The secret agent only made a brief report here, and soon took orders to leave.

   Behind, Isaac was still overlooking the situation below, but his eyes flickered a little inadvertently.

The dwarves of the Dragon Jaw Mountains, if they were at any other time, would undoubtedly have quite good strength. Even if Solomon could solve them, he would not be able to completely crush them. After all, with the information he possessed Among them, there are two brass dragons in the Dragon Jaw Mountains, which live together with these dwarfs.

   It is rumored that these two brass dragons even hold a "joke-telling contest" every year to have fun with the dwarves, which shows the close relationship between them.

  But unfortunately, it is the period of Dragon Madness.

   According to the order of the Golden Dragon Council, metal dragons must sleep through magic to survive this dragon madness.

  So, the two brass dragons at this time will definitely not play.

   Not only that, as the dragon madness continues, they will even become hidden dangers for those dwarves.

Under such circumstances, with the spread of the deeds of Archbishop Fielding of the Punishment Church who fell to the "God of Liches", as long as they don't want to give up the southern cities, they can only continue to Aglalon and Simbu. help.

  So, with his further conspiracy to promote...

"Soon!"
