Chapter 145: Warning
Schrodbray strode into the reception room.
Everyone was a little embarrassed, and Chief Jon was the first to rise up to greet him, followed by Pythagoras.
Schroeder's face stinked, and he walked straight between them, found the most remote position at the conference table, threw the bag on the table, and put his feet on it: "You go on." I never get tired of watching the drama of the despicable intrigue and deceit. ”
He is equivalent to giving both sides a face, but both sides have no opinion - can the chess piece have an opinion on the player? Since it was found that Pythagoras had no opinion, no matter how stupid the Twilight Empire was, it was indeed Schrodbray who supported the new king. This makes it even more embarrassing, if Pythagoras is a substitute for the June sun, then the two sides can only be hostile and cannot cooperate.
"Ahem." Drawing everyone's attention back, Jon said, "Your Majesty Pythagoras, if you go to the front, you will have to be under the command of Field Marshal Skoul, which I don't think is appropriate for either side; And if you pull up a team yourself, I'm afraid it will interfere with our army's tactical intentions and give the enemy a chance. In fact, in my personal opinion, the status of the king is noble, and he should not risk his life. ”
Black Sharp glanced at Schroeder and saw that the other party was nodding in satisfaction.
The boss's remarks were not entirely to the delight of Shi Roud. Did Pythagoras go to the front to help or trouble? The king's appeal is too strong, as soon as the king's spirit is released, the people will bow their heads, and Schopenhauer, the lord of weeping blood who is killed halfway, is the best example. With the existing strength in the country, Pythagoras can barely be suppressed, but Frankie may not be able to suppress it. Without the king, the empire is already crumbling, and even the guardian heroes have three longs and two shorts......
"In addition, the Ulcer Isle and the Twilight Empire are as inseparable as an abomination of flesh, and if you occupy the land, it will be seen by the outside world as the Twilight Empire's intention to expand, which will cause more suspicion. So please forgive me for not being able to agree with your proposal. ”
The Pythagorean smile vanished. Although he didn't have much hope, he was still a little embarrassed by the other party's refusal so simply. He's quiet enough!
The manager said: "If you sincerely want to cooperate, the plan proposed by our side is: when you reach a certain contribution, you can divide the territory to you. ”
Hearing the "territory" in the back, Pythagoras completely ignored the "contribution" in front and leaned forward: "Where?" Snow City? Or Isenger Fortress? ”
"It's a floating island."
Pythagoras didn't say a word, leaning back, leaning back in his chair.
Black Sharp smiled: "What? Don't you like floating islands very much? ”
"Do you think I'm in conflict with the adventurer to take the floating island for myself?"
"And what is your real purpose?"
Pythagoras ignored the guy and asked the old steward, "Since you don't want me to go to the front, what can I contribute?" Do I look like a life professional? ”
The manager smiled: "The main body stays in the country to sit on the Ulcer Island, and supports the front line - I believe this is the most suitable way for you to contribute." Every military merit earned by your doppelganger will contribute to your territory. ”
Even the big boss of the underworld noticed how subtle the boss's trick was. No matter how Pythagoras doppelgled tens of millions, there is only one "will of the Necromantic King", and it cannot be matched by every doppelganger, in other words, those clones do not have the [Authority of the Necromantic King], once sent to the front line, even if they want to make trouble, they will be quickly suppressed by Franji; At the same time, it can effectively dissipate the power of Pythagoreans, after all, the Abomination of the Ulcer Island will never become Scowl's descendant army, and must be used on the occasion of the most tragic casualties; In the end, using floating islands as bait to allow Pythagoras to expand its territory was a stroke of genius, under the condition that the original number of clones remained the same, the larger the territory, the more defense lines the clones could not take into account, and the vast and sparsely populated land made the landing battle easier, if the victory was won, the floating islands could be used by their own side, and in the end there was no loss at all.
Pythagoras tugged at the corners of his mouth. In exchange for military merit for territory, the same trading conditions changed when they came out of Jont's mouth. Is it because I've always been too talkative, so I've been looked down upon by these miscellaneous people? "There is no equal pay and pay, and this time it is my turn to disagree with your proposal."
The negotiations reached an impasse, and at this point Schroeder spoke slowly:
"As an outsider, let me give me some advice! I think there's a second way for you to work together. The Dusk Empire is currently in dire need of Pure White Abomination, and the gap in this war behemoth is especially large, in addition to the need for more corpses than ordinary abomination, the war behemoth also needs high-level soul fire. And the Ulcer Island is the base camp of abomination, and each doppelganger has high-level strength, thanks to the gods, it is such a coincidence that the Ulcer Island can completely help! ”
Soul Fire Monster Sideways Gaze. It couldn't figure out why anyone could know more about necromantic beings than necromantic creatures.
Pythagoras nodded: "Yes, it is not difficult to extract hundreds or thousands of high-level souls from the [Starry Night Gate]. The characteristic of pure white abomination is that the soul fire is completely blank, which is not difficult to do, as long as it is not imprinted with a spirit when creating a doppelganger. If you can't trust me, you can clean the brand yourself before use. ”
Black Sharp asked, "I guess, this isn't a pro bono service, right?" ”
"Flesh and blood are the source of my strength, so I won't give away abomination in vain, and Ulcer Island can only be responsible for processing corpses into abomination. Of course, the processing is not free, and for every ten corpses sent, I will withhold one as a salary. ”
In the face of Schroeder's suggestion, Jont looked at the table and weighed it in his heart.
Pythagoras possessed [Devour] and [Soul Slayer], the skills and soul talents that can capture corpses, slowly but effectively improve the body and soul, and transporting corpses to the Festering Island is equivalent to delivering nutrients to the tumor. If you want to create a war monster, you must share the design with the Ulcer Island, which is one of the core technologies of the Joint Research Center, how can it be leaked!
However, the benefits are also obvious: the speed of the creation of Abomination has been increased, which can replenish the front line as soon as possible, and make up for the losses caused by Schopenhauer, the Lord of Weeping Blood; The intensity of Abomination has been increased, and the attrition rate of the army has been reduced; After the outsourcing of the industry, the original hateful factories and workers can be diverted to other uses.
"Let me think again." This sentence from the mouth of a politician is actually equivalent to a polite refusal. Without pure white abomination, the front line will not necessarily be defeated, but if Pythagoras is allowed to take the opportunity to grow, domestic turmoil will be more threatening than defeat!
The suggestion was rejected, but Schroeder didn't see how to get angry, and only made a "okay" gesture.
Pythagoras spoke again: "Speaking of trading, it inspires me. 'Necromancer Lease Contract', our clan sells their labor in exchange for money, and money is simply not a threshold, and anyone other than a necromancer can enjoy our clan's services. Can I also be involved in this program? ”
In the past, the empire was defeated in the trade war, and in order to raise funds, the "Necromantic Lease Contract" was launched, which was a bold attempt by Necromantic creatures in the tertiary industry. Low-level citizens will not receive benefits from the contract, and middle- and high-level citizens will receive a commission of 60%-80% depending on their level. There are still a lot of people who want to rent labor, and the necromantic creatures have almost no shortcomings except for being afraid of the sun, they can be guards at home, bodyguards in the wild, adventurers can assist when fighting monsters and leveling up, and aborigines can keep vigil when camping. Thanks to the wide variety of people in the Twilight Empire, employers can also choose birds that are easy to scout and pass on messages, or necromantic beasts that are highly mobile and have high attack power.
The empire has always monopolized the "necromantic lease contract", and now the festering island is red in the profits, and wants to get a piece of the pie? The king clone is regarded as a rare elite, even if the combat power is weak, the employer will grab the head, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the clone is definitely not weak! Jont seems to see that forty percent of the market share has been taken away! He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't seem to find an excuse, because the tertiary industry has no technological content and can't be monopolized!
He could only come up with that set of rhetoric again: "You are the king, how can you serve others?" ”
Schroeder knocked on the table: "If he wants to do this, he doesn't plan to think of himself as a king, he has reached this point, and he will listen to you?" If he is imperative to make a similar contract secretly, you can't do anything about him, why don't you just let him do it, at least under your control! ”
When the trade war was lost, it was Schrodbray who imported money to settle a lot of the national debt, at the cost of the empire's future gains. Launching the "Necromantic Lease Contract" without Schroder's permission offended the dragon's scales, and perhaps he has always held a grudge, Schroder is only now looking at the excitement and not thinking that it is a big deal, no, it's not just as simple as watching the excitement, this side is falling to the ground and helping the Plague Island, it's just singing and harmonizing with Pythagoras! While it sounds okay to be included in the control, the premise is that Pythagoras borrows the Imperial platform! It couldn't be worse to let an ambitious guy expand his network and accumulate capital on the platform! This is a scheme.
Jon pondered for a moment and said, "I see. Details need to be discussed again. ”
"I guess there's not much time for discussion today." Schroeder's smile was unfathomable.
Pythagoras' face changed, and he looked at Schroeder in a daze.
Schroeder asked softly like a child, "Did you receive any news?" ”
"My doppelganger says the adventurers are attacking the Ulcer Isle. The specific details will be discussed in the future, and you will not be with you. Pythagoras got up, took the cane from the black sharp hand, and walked away quickly.
Everyone looked at each other. Schroeder asked, "Steward, do you know what the adventurer is doing?" ”
Jon shook his head immediately: "I didn't know, I never ordered it." ”
"Oh, of course not you, because I was the one who encouraged the adventurers. All I need to do is reward some unsalable merchandise, and they'll not even want their lives. Schroeder was pleased with the governor's surprise and smiled: "The Ulcer Island can move freely, provided that Pythagoras maneuvers on the island. He shouldn't have just left. ”
"Why are you doing this?"
"The Twilight Empire is my greatest asset, and I don't want anyone to devalue it, so I need to warn me at the right time."
The heart of the earth said: This is not to warn the Ulcer Island, but to warn us about the Ulcer Island!
Schroeder leaned his neck and drank the cup of black tea, picked up the bag, and left without even saying goodbye. This is the end of the conversation of the despicable, and to the west of the "City of Waiting", at the landing site of the festering dictator, a tall, muscular man with pigtails appears. He is the Graytail Brotherhood's spokesman, "Villain" Esengren.
He twitched his nose, stopped, made sure no one was looking, and quickly dug up a small embryo from the soil. The embryo opened its eyes the moment it was picked up, its hands and feet turned into tentacles, and it pierced Esengren's hand fiercely, and the embryo's brain cracked into a vertical mouth, and whispered: "I knew you would come, transfer it now." ”
Esengren walked away with his hands in his pockets and against the wall.
