Leaving Luskan and heading east along the Miral River, across the hidden forests and eternal wilderness, Zhang Cheng finally landed firmly on the path about ten kilometers away from Silvermoon City before dark.

The reason why he chose to land here was not because he was tired and couldn't fly, but because he didn't attract the attention of the magic spires in Silvermoon City.

After all, Silvermoon City is not a small place like the Ten Towns, Neverwinter, and Baldur's Gate, which lacks magical defense capabilities.

On the contrary, it has almost as many spellcasters as Waterdeep, and even has the Chosen Ones of the Goddess of Magic, with Erasdra Silverhand, known as the Lady of Hope, in charge.

You must know that this woman who is not old, who does not die, who does not need to sleep, and who will never get sick was born in the valley calendar 762, and is now 1356, which is almost six hundred years old.

What does 600 years of sleepless spell mean to a spellcaster?

Meaning she has more time to study and research than most mages in this world!

That means you can learn almost all spells!

Even legendary spells that break the limits of the web and are only available to a handful of top spellcasters!

Coupled with the power bestowed on the ancestors by the Goddess of Magic, even the average legendary spellcaster is far from being a match for Erastro Silverhand.

Thankfully, the Lady of Hope did not devote nearly six hundred years to the study and research of magic, but instead worked tirelessly to fulfill her naïve political ambition to build a city where different races could live together peacefully.

Over time, she had forgotten that she was a powerful mage, and became more and more like a pure lord and statesman.

Ironically, Silvermoon City itself did not allow all races to live in peace, as she had originally designed, at least the orcs, giants, dark elves, mind flayers, ogres, goblins, ogres, beasts, etc., were not allowed to cross the gates.

Although in the eyes of many good people, Erastro Silverhand is a great leader in the true sense of the word, she is impartial, never refuses to be asked for help, and even finds the time she has to rescue travelers in danger in the wilderness.

But in Zhang Cheng's eyes, all these behaviors are like a "giant baby" that has not grown up, completely immersed in his own fantasy world and unable to extricate himself.

Six hundred years!

It took 600 years for human beings on the earth to complete the great geographical discoveries, complete the Renaissance, complete the two industrial revolutions and world wars, complete a series of great works including economic, military, and political theories, and even created nuclear energy, jet engines, manned spacecraft, the Internet, gene technology, biomedical technology, and so on......

But what about Erastro Silverhand?

What the residents of Silvermoon City lived hundreds of years ago is still the same now, except that the population is a little bigger, the city is a little larger, and the mage tower is a little more, and the rest has not changed at all.

Farmers still rely on livestock to cultivate their fields......

The means of transport are still backward horse-drawn carriages......

Even the road a kilometer away from Silvermoon City was a muddy dirt road......

If it sounds good, it is called steady development, and if it is bad, it is not a little bit of growth.

Zhang Cheng believes that if he gives himself 600 years......

No, a hundred years will not be disturbed! He will definitely be able to create a glorious magical civilization that surpasses the Nethrel Empire and the Imasca Empire.

"What are you thinking?" asked Katie Brill, who had just climbed off the dragon's back, as she approached and stared into the black dragon's flame-like eyes.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a cranky idea. Zhang Cheng shook his head, banishing the messy thoughts out of his mind, and quickly used the dragon's innate talent to transform into a human form.

Recently, I don't know why, he has been running up to all sorts of crazy thoughts from time to time in his mind recently, such as an inexplicable urge a few minutes ago, wanting to directly spew hot flames over Silvermoon City, plunging this beautiful city into a sea of fire.

Katie Brill obviously didn't know that she had almost brought destruction and panic to a beautiful city, and urged with a relaxed face: "Hurry up, I heard Bruno say a long time ago that Silvermoon City is the most beautiful and hospitable place in the entire Northlands." There is delicious food, poets who sing heroic ballads, and especially the esteemed Lady Erastro. ”

"Oh, sounds like you adore her?" a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on Zhang Cheng's face, and he glanced at the place where he had just landed out of the corner of his eye.

"Of course, don't you think she's a very good ruler?" Katie Brill, apparently a fan of Erastro, rolled her eyes in disgust.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think this lady is so good at all. On the contrary, I feel that this lady has completely wasted hundreds of years in power and has not solved a single fundamental problem at all. ”

Without the slightest concealment, Zhang Cheng bluntly expressed his disdain for Erastro Silverhand's ability to rule.

"What do you mean, do you think you can do better than Lady Hope?" said Katie Brill with an angry glare.

"That's right!" Zhang Cheng replied in the affirmative without thinking.

Just as the two of them stared at each other and were about to start arguing, a woman wearing a gold crown studded with gems and a white silk robe appeared out of thin air and asked with a smile, "Hello, strong dragon, can you tell me what you would do if you were the ruler of Silvermoon City?"

"Erastro Silver Hand?!"

Sensing the surging magical energy contained in the other party's body, Zhang Cheng's pupils contracted violently.

"That's right, it's me. Don't be nervous, I didn't come to fight, but I happened to hear an interesting topic. The woman stroked her long silver hair, and her eyes shone with the wisdom of the baptism of time.

"Good day, Madam Hope, it is a great honor to meet you. Katie Brill hurriedly bent down and saluted, blushing with excitement.

"Good day, lively and kind girl, I know you. You are the adopted daughter of Bruno, the dwarven king of the Warhammer clan, and your adoptive father and friends are on their way to Silvermoon City, and it won't be long before you can be reunited with them. With that, Erasdra beckoned to the girl.

The latter did not even hesitate at all, and directly abandoned his original protector and went to the protection of the other party.

Zhang Cheng watched all this happen with great interest, and he had no intention of stopping it at all.

Perhaps feeling that the "hostage" had left the dragon's control, Erastro's attitude relaxed a little, and he quickly continued to ask: "Mr. Dragon, you haven't answered me yet. If you were the ruler of Silvermoon City, what would you do?"
