Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster Chapter 605: Kelburn thinks ‘two losers’

Top recommendations:

Contrary to what Hill thought, Neverwinter could actually sit still at the moment.

Hill probably has a hard time understanding the logic of this world, but the people of Neverwinter know it very well.

In the hearts of most people in Neverwinter, these elves would never choose to face Luskan and the Orcs on the roof of the world.

Neverwinter is a ruined city, rebuilt on iron and fire, but the elf is the former owner who easily gave up his territory because the damage was too heavy.

Compared to humans, elves' individual strengths are indeed stronger.

However, Neverwinter is much better than them when it comes to fighting.

In other words, in the eyes of elves, nothing is as important as the lives of their clansmen, but in the eyes of humans, the place where future generations can live and live is worth their hard work.

Elves are brave when they fight, but they measure up after the fight.

It's not that they can't risk the lives of their entire race if necessary, but it definitely doesn't include guarding the northern gates for all races.

Not to mention that when they were severely damaged, the human race was quietly powerful enough to compete with them for continental supremacy.

So the elves all evacuated when they realized that the gains outweighed the losses. Now it is impossible to be willing to help humans defend the orcs who are heading south.

But they will definitely support the current rule of Neverwinter City. The elves are better at this point, and they will recognize the contributions made by others.

Although I don't want to contribute to other races, I definitely don't think that those who choose to resist on the front line are fools.

In the hearts of the seniors in Neverwinter City, if these elves who are afraid of the light and fear the heavy really hit the idea of ​​the nearby city, it must be Waterdeep City.

And, most importantly, a large number of Trahir elves are still rummaging through Neverwinter, jumping up and down.

If the elves really intended to attack them, the elves of these other worlds would have run away long ago.

Although the premise of the judgment was wrong, Neverwinter was lucky enough to get the result right.

Waterdeep is different.

While they were lucky enough to send these terrifying Outer Worlds away, something more serious went wrong.

The undead have executed a large number of gangsters, killers, thieves and robbers, even the gang leaders who directly commanded them.

They walked free and easy, but left behind the truth of great power at the bottom.

And in the struggle for this lowest and most useful control, Waterdeep has fallen into an unspeakably dark hour.

In fact, everyone knows that squeezing civilians is the most profitable business.

Although the neighbors are troublesome, most people are lucky.

Corellon shouldn't let anyone toss Waterdeep twice unless someone offends him again.

Now, no one is so stupid, and even if Kyle wanted to do it again, the other lords of Waterdeep would not follow him to death.

The most troublesome thing now is that they can recruit guys like the bottom thugs from Faerûn, but management is hard to find.

Don't look at the gang leaders, but they are either the ones they think they can absolutely suppress, or they are the people they trust the most.

With the complexity of Waterdeep City, most people do not want to be directly eliminated, and most people will choose the most trusted person to go out to do things.

But after all the secretly unknown subordinates have been killed, these high-level leaders who have been in control of the black forces for many years can only go into the water themselves.

Even the people who are going to give a face, the people who are sent to rebuild the gang can actually recognize who is under the gang at a glance.

As a result of these people walking to the front desk, the intensity of the war naturally increased. Toril was accustomed to sending his opponent directly to the underworld.

The ubiquitous murder has left many ordinary people in Waterdeep even hiding in their homes.

The people of Waterdeep used to suspect that these gangsters were in the hands of the most brilliant looking bigwigs, but now they can be confident.

The struggle is so intense that who cares about the underground rules that keep the struggle only in the lower layers?

Every gentleman and aristocrat who died under the assassination will be revealed the next day what gangster is in charge.

Those who are actually occupying land at the wharf don't even need to. Although they are fierce, everyone knows that the money in this place is never easy to make. At the beginning, gangs appeared to fight against those who said they were merchant ships but were not as good as pirates. Not much guy.

But organizing gangs of thieves and human traffickers in the city... really broke the bottom line of tolerance for many people in Waterdeep.

The people of Waterdeep certainly don't think there is anything wrong with doing this kind of thing. With so many evil forces in Faerûn taking turns, ordinary people have long since adapted to these precarious lives.

But you can't, and shouldn't be from the City Lord's Mansion. Valley

Waterdeep's taxes are very high, and they have to endure extortion from the city guards, which most people regard as protection money.

As a result, now, the protection fee is paid by the people who want to kill them.

Even when Waterdeep was under the control of gangsters, they weren't so ruthless, and they could still buy their lives if they paid.

The safest place in Waterdeep right now is the magic tower of Kelburn the Black Staff and the temple of the Silvermoon Goddess.

However, Suron, the high priest of Waterdeep, is notoriously arrogant and very wealthy.

Except for the believers and women who were sheltered in the temple to hide, the others, no matter what they paid, did not let her let go.

If it was in the past, there might have been fools who would have put pressure on her, but Su Lun... but she just burst out with a powerful divine power, how brave she was, and the people of Waterdeep City saw it directly with their own eyes.

So, now, all the pressure is on Kyle himself.

After all, if it weren't for him, Corellon wouldn't have brought these strange elves.

Obviously, when Corellon was next to him, the top management of Waterdeep who had chosen the Goddess of Magic between him and the Goddess of Magic would never choose to offend Corellon again.

The goddess of magic does have a deep influence on everyone, but if anything happens now, it doesn't need Corellon to take action. Those elves who are looking for a place to build a country will not let go of such a big fat in Waterdeep.

Most of the dimensional gates that the magic ships pass through in the ports outside Deepwater City were created by elves thousands of years ago. Everyone knows this.

So compared to Neverwinter, Waterdeep is much more attractive.

No matter how arrogant the elves are, they need money.

And most importantly, the followers of the Goddess of Magic finally discovered that something was wrong, and they had lost all their allies inexplicably before they knew it.

After the resumption, even though many people understand that the problem is caused by the goddess of magic, who will complain about their master god? Of course, the anger was directed towards the temptation goddess Kelbensa.

In the past, Kelburn could still find companions of the archmage who were willing to accompany him to dissipate his body and did not care about the possibility of returning to the kingdom of God, but now there are no archmage who are willing to communicate with him.

Kelburn, bent on becoming the next Mage God, suddenly turned away from his family, and suddenly he didn't seem to be able to support an apprentice.

Those who followed him and left the harpist couldn't be for any belief at all. Even his loyal subordinates couldn't be treated worse than those who came to him for money, right?

The intelligence organization he set up is obviously a place to spend money to work. There is not enough money, and the resources are not good. You can't afford beef and mutton, and people's hearts are naturally scattered.

Kelburn does know that the prices of various materials have risen rapidly in recent years, but he thinks that he is rich, and even if he consumes a little more, he can't directly empty the warehouse!

If it's really that powerful, shouldn't it be the civilians who collapse first?

That's because the commoners only need to eat the cheapest fish, and basically they keep small poultry such as chickens and ducks at home. When they grow up, they sell them to rich people at high prices, and buy coarse grains with salt Just eat fish.

However, Kelburn's subordinates don't have the habit of eating garbage, and it's even more impossible to put down their bodies to raise chickens and ducks, after all, they don't eat.

Heita and the various agencies under him, including the intelligence organization and the city guards, consume red meat every day, and can raise ten dragons.

If Kyle Ben is really so rich, he might as well raise dragons directly.

It's just that the money flowed out slowly. If there were not a large number of civilians who came to him ~IndoMTL.com~ Kyle Ben took the initiative to calculate his material money, he would not have found that he was going bankrupt.

He finally chose silence and did not become the savior of these people as originally planned.

Kelburn knows very well that these people who came to defect to him will never be willing to live on stinky fish and rotten shrimp like the people in the slums.

They still have certain fantasies, hoping to live a good life here at Kelburn.

Otherwise, people who really don't want to be involved at all should, like those in the slums, hire those Trahir elves who are eccentric but are indeed kind-hearted, and build some wooden shacks by the forest outside the city deal with this time.

In Kelburn's initial calculation, these people should become the bottom members of his organizations, slowly transform into his followers, and finally accumulate a strong foundation for his conferred gods.

But that first step was aborted.

He wouldn't put all of his money in the warehouse, but that part of the reserve can only be used to support these subordinates, and it is impossible for these people who rely on him to live the good life they imagined.

He can't give up the present for the unknowable future!

Kelburn stood on the tall black wand tower and looked at the floating castle in the north. The prophecy he got at the beginning was indeed correct. The archmage who had a good relationship with the elves would indeed bring him come the biggest trouble.

But the prophecy was also wrong. Kyle estimated that if he hadn't calculated so much, the archmage would not have used such a lose-lose method to deal with him. If he had no money, the archmage would You can't afford to support the city with the money from selling strange things.

It is estimated that it is now living frugally, right?

Kelburn looked at the food on his table, he hadn't eaten anything this bad in years.
