Politics is a complex game.
In deepwater City, no one is the master of the 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 things without worry unless he wants to be against everyone.
Struggle and compromise are the essence of this game!
When the special tobacco of the blood hand Gang spread rapidly in this port city, these predators keenly smelled the smell of interest and blood. This cheap and practical spell material has absorbed a lot of Kindler in a very short time, which can be said to be an amazing wealth. More than 500 pounds of goods were digested after they floated in the market.
If it is elsewhere, it may not be so smooth, but deepwater city is different.
It is the shipping hub of the whole south. Every day, it carries a large amount of materials. Merchant ships from all directions transfer their goods and supplement supplies here.
Every businessman is eager to fill his cabin and return to his hometown with wealth.
Fallon is not without hallucinogenic plants. Blue magic powder is a popular casting material for mages. It can not only bring full hi and illusion, but also temporarily improve intelligence and charm. Even the side effects are very slight. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive!
Death is expensive, death is expensive!
Inheriting the characteristics of arcane items, which are not the most expensive, but only more expensive. The price of this scarce spell material can bankrupt a low-level mage, and being addicted to blue magic is a terror that can make the king sell his crown.
In addition, hallucinogens include pain water, Modine tea and so on, but none can be as cheap as special tobacco. The price is incredible. A jindler can buy a pound and smoke it. This plant has no special environmental requirements and strict culture conditions.
A low-level Druid can plant a large area.
It is an important cash crop for strengthening the country and enriching the people! In less than 20 years, anyone with a little money can lie in his own bed and enjoy this cheap happiness on every piece of land in Phelan.
It can create countless economic benefits. It will become the most important spice on the sea. Yes, this cheap and "harmless" tobacco is regarded by many as a spice given by the gods. Even the priests who are most hostile to the order of hallucinogenic objects have to admit that the harm of this kind of tobacco to the body is really not worth mentioning.
Compared with other dangers on the continent of Fallon, just a little addict can quit ten or eight times a day, which is gentle like the comfort of a God.
Many priests of the chaotic gods have used this spice in ceremonies, such as Lady joy, whose efficacy has been highly praised. Some chaotic good gods even encourage believers to accept these things in order to enhance the spiritual communication between believers and gods.
In fact, most of the first people who ordered this special tobacco were major shrines. They would use these things in assemblies and prayer ceremonies. Some priests would also use them in their private prayers in order to integrate with God and feel God''s word.
Chen ang expressed his admiration for these psychological 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 medicine with magic stick! And quickly launched a special version of the special spices, with more complex and cumbersome formula, more gorgeous packaging, ruthlessly slaughtered this group of fat sheep.
In the past few days, every morning, the deep water city will wake up in the clouds. In the aristocratic area, extravagant aristocrats have begun to burn these spices in the residence, making them feel like they are in a dream. Such a prosperous scene amazed every businessman who came to deepwater city.
"It''s really a ''dream city''!" the insider exclaimed.
"What a sin city!" Chen ang said expressionless as he looked at the city shrouded in smoke.
In this world, not everything was expected by him, just as he would never think of the praise of Phelan for this special medicine. The Druids were happy for it, the mage regarded it as a treasure, and even the gods blessed it! The dwarves love it and mix it with tobacco under the mine. The elves love it and empty the illusion in meditation.
When Chen ang saw that special tobacco was traded openly in the streets and alleys, his men ran around like a businessman, bargaining, and saw the slums laughing and smiling, sweeping away the numbness and decadence of the past. They planted tobacco on all the land that could be planted, and dried the tobacco in front of and behind the house.
The high streets and back lanes of children in the slums were flocked through the streets and alleys with destructed opium boxes, and they were evade the tax collector and sold tobacco to all the people in the city. Seeing the youth in the slums, they scrambled to join the bloody Gang they were afraid of. In order to protect their own tobacco leaves, they fought with rival gangs.
Chen ang had to admit that he underestimated Phelan''s sin and depravity.
Although the process was strange and distorted, Chen ang finally achieved his goal. The villains of the bloody hand Gang still walked in the streets with daggers and poisons, but they no longer hid in the shadow and did sneaky activities, but went out of the business places of deepwater City openly and fought with businessmen in obscure language.
The forces Nouvelles with Lek as their hand dress like a gentleman and behave like an aristocrat. They imitate the feeling brought to them by Chen ang. The complementary forces in the slums also receive the most rigorous training in a harsh environment. They will be as familiar with their daggers as their lovers.
A big net that can be controlled spreads out from the slums bit by bit, and the end of this big net is in Chen Ang''s hand, bringing him power and threat.
"The whole city is watching and waiting, just like the jackals peeping at the lambs. They are hostile and wary of each other, and reach a fragile and short-term balance. Soon, these predators will pounce on us with great interests!" Lek looked serious, holding hands and warning from different channels.
"Then they will find out who is the Jackal!" Chen ang smiled. He turned his right index finger to symbolize the ring of power and keepsake.
"A lot of people are waiting for our expression, sir!" Lek couldn''t help but say, "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, "the world is complex and checks and balances with each other. There are enough constraints around every behemoth, because the world is balanced. At the other end of the chip, there must be an equal weight. Every existence has its elements of checks and balances."
"This is politics! Through this game, we can make use of this balance, just like goblins stepping between two giants, walking to maintain balance and stability, selling most interests and protecting the part we can eat. Then we struggle in the coming storm and waves, try our best, pay all costs and survive."
"Then the organization will grow steadily!" Chen ang spread out his hands and looked into Lek''s eyes.
"Yes, sir! This is the price we must bear and pay!" Lek summoned up his courage and bit his lower lip.
Chen ang showed a playful smile and looked at him quietly with eyes that Lek couldn''t figure out. Only the sound of Chen ang knocking on the walnut table in the air was very obvious in the quiet room.
In this suffocating silence, Lek''s mind was blank. He had to concentrate on his pulse and feel the powerful beat again and again.
One, two, three
There was a long sigh in his ear, like a bottomless tearing sound, which made Lek''s fear uncontrollably control him and made him almost collapse to the ground.
After sighing, it was Chen Ang''s calm voice: "Lek! Lek! What illusion makes you think that I need patience? Is it my consistent tolerance and low-key, or my too kind style? Or those provocations and rumors that affect your judgment?"
A steady and powerful hand rested on his shoulder. Chen ang gently pushed open the back door of the secret room, took Lek along the long passage, and soon a hot red river appeared in front of Lek.
On the lava River, the muscular ogre held a sledgehammer and pounded the steel plate on his hand. A round axe the size of a head revealed its prototype. In the lava River, goblins and dog headed men push ore into the blazing ground fire, and the molten steel is collected into the huge blast furnace along the conduit.
Lek saw that a furnace of pure molten steel poured out from inside, the huge ingot was ravaged like dough by hundreds of feet high hydraulic press, the steel plate was rolled out by heavy hammer, and the huge machinery drove hundreds of thousands of pounds of casting head to impact on the steel plate.
The hard plate armor is cast in one piece. Excellent weapons are stacked in the corner without money.
Tens of thousands of goblins, urged by some goblins spraying blue smoke, injected black unknown medicine into their bodies, with burr and frosted armor, which were tied to them in a mess. In the distance, a hybrid army composed of ogres and koeheaders, holding five flowers and eight pure steel weapons, wreaked havoc in the smelter.
Lek held his breath. He stared nervously at the orderly but crazy and wanton army of evil in the field. He even forgot that he came in openly and instinctively shrank in the corner that could bring his sense of security.
He heard it clearly. Chen ang said softly, "we are not the passive one! Lek, you should know what to do!"
