Chapter 12: Dogs
"Ah, Mr. Schroeder!" Seeing this uninvited guest suddenly come in, Qingyi also smiled: "What were you busy with just now?" ”
Looking at this businessman again, I realized that he was also quite handsome, but his eyes could always make people ignore this. His eyes were so old, as if he had lived for hundreds of years, even when he was laughing, the feeling of exhaustion that could only be achieved through vicissitudes of life was naturally revealed: "It's nothing, I just got a magic prop that can scout metal, so just now I inspected the sea of bones to see if there are any mineral veins or something." You all know that veins are valuable, right? ”
"Vein!" Fermat let out two rough breaths from his nose, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Where?!" Tell me! ”
Strunm twisted the screws on his head and said cautiously: "The predecessor of the White Bone Ocean is the Happiness Plain, although the land is fertile, it is only developed in agriculture, and it is not famous for mining......
"Yes! So I searched for a long time in vain, and I could only come back in disgrace! Schroeder waved his hand, his expression not at all like that of a gray man. He sighed, his eyes deliberately glancing at Qingyi: "It's really bad, after becoming a necromantic realm, this land will be wasted, and agriculture can no longer be developed." ”
"Yes, that's all the value of this land." Qingyi also sighed very much. "After all, the breath of life and the breath of death are diametrically opposed, and no matter how hard you try, you can't squeeze out more profits."
("Ah, what hypocrisy, you guys!") Xue Duo said in a low voice)
"That said, I found an interesting fact......"
Schroeder Bray pointed at Claviso and smiled: "There is a wonderful breeder here!" I envy your good fortune, Your Majesty, how many magic plants she can grow for you! ”
"Demonized plants are always demonized plants, they can't be eaten, they can't bring profits." Although Qingyi smiled, he had already begun to frown.
"Oh, is it? As far as I know, the materials of the 'Soul Accelerant' and the 'Soul Potion' contain demonic plants, so how can they not be regarded as a manifestation of value? In addition to alchemists, magicians also need demonic plants to concoct potions, which will be highly sought-after even in the eyes of doctors! Schroeder immediately took out a small notebook and a quill pen, as if ready to calculate.
Qingyi beckoned, and a dead spider hung down from the ceiling, its mouthparts holding the tip of the quill pen, and when released, the nib was already dipped in "purple iris".
"Oh, that's a nice ink!" Schroeder Bray was amazed and looked left and right at the tip of the quill pen: "It is a treasure of God's bounty, it must have a great future!" Tell me, Your Majesty, what is the name of this little thing? ”
Rao is Qingyi, who has maintained a hypocritical smile since just now, and at this time he can't help but have black lines on his head. Your system! Obviously, the first product of the cooperation between the two sides is "Purple Iris"! You can't remember it?!
Schroeder winked mischievously and laughed: "Hahaha, just kidding, dear majesty! Scared, right? ~ Of course I know it's called 'Violet'! ”
I'm @#¥%......
Qingyi burst into tears. Please, if you don't remember, you don't remember, please don't mess with names......
"Okay, let's get back to that. Since we can't grow agricultural products, let's try to grow demonic plants. ”
"No." This time it was Clavisol who raised the objection. She lazily stretched out her fingers and gently drew a circle on the tabletop: "As the name suggests, the sea of bones is a sea of bones." Even for demonic plants, this environment is very harsh, and there are only six plants that can survive. ”
"Oh, no, no, no, my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours, miss." Schroeder Bray smiled and pointed to the delicate flowers outside the window: "The cost performance of magic plants and crops is not the same!" Three gold coins may only buy a bag of flour, but you can't even buy half a moonshine plant, and even a fool knows which of the area of wheat and moonshine grass is bigger and which is small! We don't need a big breeding base, we only need to plant a few acres of land in the 'City of Waiting', and we can make a lot of money, not to mention that we have an alchemy laboratory and can carry out deep processing of demonized plants! ”
Seeing what else Claviso wanted to say, Schroeder Bray waved his hand: "That's the end of this issue, right?" Next, dear Your Majesty, have you received any good news at the 'Eternal Destiny'? Necromantic forces are starting to rise, right? ”
(Clavisol glare at Schroeder resentfully, turning her face away, sulking)
Qingyi thought about it before nodding: "Sort of." ”
"In that case, Your Majesty, I advise you to expand." Schroeder Braydaw. He snapped his fingers: "One month, two months...... Half a year, half a year, your forces are going to occupy a place farther away than the Blackstone Valley, you must be able to do it, right? ”
"Why?" Qingyi's face was faintly unsightly. This is not a suggestion, this is an order! Only when there is no Qingyi in his eyes, can Schrooder say such a thing!
"Wow, we've been together for so long, don't you know me? Interests, interests are the reason! Only by expanding can you get more resources, produce more goods, sell to more people, and finally get more profits! Schroeder Bray's smile suddenly became cold, and his eyes were like lightning: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that in your country, I have the right to speak in business!" ”
"The right to speak in business does not mean that you can dictate to the military." Frankie, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, his eyes frighteningly red. Also, having just been appointed commander-in-chief of the army, it attaches the most importance to military affairs.
"Military service to capital, dear big dog. Don't think you're qualified to bark in front of me as you advance. Schroeder poked Frankie with his finger, his eyes unchanged and his smile playful. You'd love to get your hands dirty, right? I'll give you a chance, just this once, and I won't blame you for your next move-"
[Blood Red Raid]!
A shadow of blood shot straight at Schroeder Bray! It doesn't even take half a second for Frankie to cross such a short distance! The fishy wind swept by, and in Frankie's merciless eyes, Schroeder was already a dead man!
But......
Schroeder grinned, waved the bag, and just flew Frankie, who pounced in front of him, and the timing, strength, and angle were quite well mastered! This seemingly simple blow swept up a thousand strong winds, and Clavisoll panicked and pressed a blown green silk. Frankie flew through the air, and everywhere he passed, there was a clear sound of cloth breaking, and it actually cracked the cobwebs arranged above the council chamber layer by layer, knowing that these cobwebs were as tough as alloy wire nets of the same size.
"I'm a life professional, so I don't like to get hands-on. But if you want to do it, I promise you'll die no more. Putting the pouch on the table again, Schroeder Bray looked at Qingyi: "What do you think, dear 'Your Majesty'?" ”
Qingyi's face was no different from pig iron.
Frankie staggered as he landed, staggering to his feet. Its face is even more ugly - as a high-level combat class NPC, it is a shame that cannot be washed away for a lifetime after launching an invincible signature skill to be knocked away by a life class NPC with a normal attack. Its eyes grew deeper and deeper, so red that it could not be seen.
The atmosphere on the field was solemn.
Pointing his fingers slowly but steadily to the ceiling of the hall, Schroeder Bray let out an inexplicable laugh: "I used the wood I brought back to build this council hall, right?" ”
Qingyi's face turned pale suddenly.
"Mr. Fermat, where did the stove come from when you struck iron? And who provides your metal? I'd love to know, how did you find metal in a sea of bones without veins? ”
"Strom, my dearest lad...... Could it be that the sulfur in your lab was conjured out of thin air? Hahaha, do you have the Philosopher's Stone? Then give me a few pieces of gold! ”
"Master Patra, those boxes of paper in the drawing room, yes, yes, the finest 'bead reed paper'—oh, don't faint! What's wrong with you? Is it Alzheimer's? ”
Schroeder sneered, and when he was about to speak, Qingyi shouted: "Enough!" ”
"It's not enough!" Following this sentence, Schroeder Bray's momentum exploded, his pupils were blazing, and his eyes overwhelmingly bombarded Qingyi. A few death-phase spiders that were a little closer trembled and died under this pure momentum! "June Sunshine, you have a share of my investment in your forces! Without me, you can't speed up the city's construction; Without me, your loyal subordinates would have been a pile of bones; Without me, the winner would be Zeno, not you, a hairy boy who won't even make the slightest concession! I'm going to get a return on my investment in you, you know?! ”
Qingyi did not speak.
Su'er on the side closed her eyes and didn't let the tears fall. Clavisol reached over and gently covered the back of her hand.
After a while, Qingyi said weakly: "I understand." I'll do my best. ”
"Okay, Your Majesty, that's it, your map will be bigger in half a year, right?" Hearing what the other party said, Schroeder Bray's face turned cloudy, and he put away his terrible eyes and smiled.
Bite!
System prompt: Do you accept the quest "Expansion and Ambition"?
System Prompt: Quest "Expansion and Ambition", quest requirements: To expand the territory of influence, you must get at least one new city outside of the Blackstone Valley. The mission lasts for six months, and if the mission fails, you will need to pay 200,000 gold or choose to lose a city.
Seeing that Qingyi nodded in confirmation, Schroeder Bray smiled and took off his hat: "You are the most generous and generous king in history!" It's been a pleasure to meet you! ”
"I think so too." Qingyi smiled, tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Well, since we have reached an agreement, then I will stay soon, after all, there is still a lot of business waiting for me to do! Goodbye guys! I hope to hear good news next time I visit! Waving to the crowd (including Franchi), Schroeder hummed a little tune and strode away.
After a while, no one spoke.
"Hehe, hahahahaha!" Suddenly, Qingyi burst into laughter, and even laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
Sterlum was a little nervous, and after casting an inquiring glance at his colleagues (everyone looked frantically at him, asking him to find something to talk about), he asked carefully, "Your Majesty, why are you smil......ing?" Laughing ...... So happy? ”
"I'm still not as sharp as Black! Hahaha, he can be a dog under the hand of Hu's self-draw, and he has been a dog for so long, I have to learn from him! Hey, Frankie, I don't mean to discriminate, hahahaha! ”
Qingyi laughed heartily, and the laughter echoed in the council room, causing a few dead spiders hanging upside down to shrink their chrysanthemums. When everyone looked at each other, Qingyi stood up suddenly, waved his scepter, and his eyes were cold: "Our future development direction is to conquer, conquer, conquer!" ”
