Chapter Forty-Nine: Hostile and Friendly

Fearing that her contact with Qingyi would be exposed, Claviso declined Qingyi's request to let her stay in the city and returned to the Via Rope Mountains. After sending away this delicate beauty, Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, his subordinates were all necromantic creatures, and he was not hooked by Clavisoer.

After that, Qingyi pulled Robert into the conference room, drove all the other subordinates away, and closed the door to discuss.

"Shadow Walker Xue Duo?" Robert groaned, examining Qingyi's shadow, and his serious appearance was almost without a pair of reading glasses.

Xue Duo snorted: "What's the matter, just say whatever you want!" ”

Robert suddenly picked up his cane and poked it into the shadow: "Stab you, stab you!" If you dare to invade Saramonroe, I will stab you to death! ”

Xue Duo: "......"

Qingyi: "......"

"Ahem, let's get down to business." After poking for a while, Robert glared at the shadow angrily, and said to Qingyi Zhengse: "Little guy, you can pick up a hot potato and come back." ”

"yes...... I want to throw this guy out too, he's so annoying. Qingyi said very sincerely.

("You're looking for death, is Uncle Ben annoying?!") It's not annoying at all, okay! Xue Duo shouted, being ignored by both Robert and Qingyi at the same time)

Qingyi snapped his fingers: "In the conversation with him, I learned a lot of information. First of all, the otherworld is a world opposed to us, and this position determines that there is no possibility of peace talks between us and otherworldly beings; Secondly, the otherworldly creatures have their own culture, social composition, and organizational system, and the 'Doomsday Confrontation' is a planned and organized invasion, and finally, we also have the power to destroy the otherworldly creatures easily, but not yet. ”

"I also understand some of these three points, and now I will tell you my opinion."

Robert stroked his non-existent beard ("You hairless old fellow!"). Xue Duo exclaimed: "First, before the 'Doomsday Confrontation', the Atlas was a world that we had never touched. If there is an opposition between the two worlds, it can only be an opposition like 'heaven' and 'hell'. In my opinion, two worlds are like two countries, they will not be eternal rivals, nor will they be eternal friends. ”

"Is profit paramount?" Qingyi chewed on the old skeleton's words, thoughtfully.

"That's right. It looks complicated, but to put it bluntly, it's almost the same as diplomacy between countries. If there are common interests, then they are naturally close friends who advance and retreat together; If the other party hurts his own interests, then he can only speak with weapons. Therefore, if there is a war such as the 'Doomsday War', there must be some kind of opportunity to bring peace between the two worlds. ”

("Hey, why do you treat Uncle Ben as air!") Xue Duo shouted: "Could it be that Uncle Ben is an existence that can be ignored?!" Two bastards listen to me! ”)

Robert raised his second finger very seriously: "Second, there are leaders in otherworldly creatures, as well as beliefs, humanities, etc., which shows that the social system in their world is quite perfect. A well-established society has a high degree of rationality, so it can talk and communicate with it. Of course, even if the other party is a group of leaderless primitives, then spending a little more time can make the other party understand their sincerity and threat. ”

"You want to negotiate with the other party?"

"Why not?" Robert asked rhetorically, "Nobody likes war, because war has to pay for itself." War is only an auxiliary tool of politics, and if there is a political need, then war can not be the only means. You see, did the otherworldly creatures win in 'Doomsday Encounter'? No. In the initial stages they were victorious, but they were miserable; In the later stage, when the people of the mainland were transferred, the otherworldly creatures lost their food, and they could no longer organize an army, and they became a plate of scattered sand. Therefore, invading our world will not bring any benefits to otherworldly creatures, so why continue to fight? ”

Qingyi immediately objected: "Although you say so, the otherworldly creatures are indeed attacking, aren't they?" Since you say that they have a rational society or a rational leader, then theoretically, they will not attack us, because it will cost a lot. Well, the reality is quite the opposite. ”

"I'm not saying that a society or a leader has to be rational. Any living thing has its irrational moments. Robert patted Qingyi's hand: "It is true that the war broke out in the end, but its cause was not necessarily due to desire, but it could also be due to fear. ”

"Fear?"

Robert laughed, "Yes, it's fear." For example...... When a girl sees a cockroach, she screams in fright and tramples them to death. ”

Qingyi also understood now, and laughed: "So, we are the cockroaches?" ”

("Count you self-aware!") Hmph, I didn't mean to laugh at you, don't get me wrong! Xue Duo shouted)

"Hmm...... Essentially, so to speak. When a person is dominated by extreme emotions, he acts irrationally. Otherworldly beings are afraid of us, so they attack us with all their might, no matter how irrational and immature the act may be. That's my reasoning. ”

"How could otherworldly creatures be afraid of us—could it be that we don't yet master a force that can inflict heavy casualties on them?" Qingyi suddenly realized.

"That's right, that's the third point: there's something in our world that's terrifying to otherworldly creatures. Because we haven't even mastered how to use it, the otherworldly creatures have launched a 'Doomsday Confrontation' in order to prevent it from happening. ”

Qingyi immediately remembered those countries in the real world that possessed nuclear weapons. These countries deter each other and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to prevent other countries from possessing nuclear weapons and possessing capital that is sufficient against them. When a small country is secretly researching nuclear energy, the big countries will even unanimously muzzle their guns and stop doing whatever it takes to get the other side to stop researching. There is no other reason than that nuclear weapons are terrible, and the people of Hiroshima feel this very well.

On the flip side, this deterrent is the capital for negotiations. With the right use, otherworldly creatures will have a friendly relationship with us, instead of you hitting me and me fighting you. Robert spoke earnestly. A qualified king will analyze the situation calmly and rationally, and then let himself get the best benefit. ”

"I understand...... Wait a minute! Since otherworldly creatures have never come into contact with our world, how did they get in? ”

"Through the dimensional gate, ah......"

"Well, who opened this dimensional door?!" Qing Yi shouted, and a strong aura of conspiracy drifted through his heart.

The two glanced at each other, and they both fell silent, only Xue Duo was still making a lot of noise.

"By the way, when it comes to the ineffective thing of [physical sucking], my opinion is this." With a cough, Robert changed the subject: "Living beings have strong vitality in their bodies, and [physical sucking] works based on the principle of extracting life force. But our necromantic creatures only have soul power, so they will not be drained of life force, which is also an advantage given to us by the gods. If you don't have this advantage, I'm afraid you'll die. You don't want to go to the dungeon in a short time, after all, your strength is not enough. ”

"What about Schroeder Bray? He's very close to Zeno now. ”

"It's nothing, his position is neutral, and he won't invest when the power comparison between you and Zeno is not exaggerated. Trust me, I'm pretty accurate, so you don't care how this guy jumps, just do what you have to do. ”

Robert clapped his palms and stood up with his crutches: "Okay, go and increase your strength, after all, you will complete the task in ten days." Don't let me down, hehe. ”

Qing Yi was terrified, he forgot that he still had a super difficult task...... What can I do? ……
