Chapter 147: The Edge of the Trap
The gossip leader suddenly appeared and said that a war was about to break out. Qingyi felt that the matter was very important, so he pulled him to the underground conference room and asked cautiously: "The war you are talking about, should it be elves versus blood elves?" ”
"That's right." The gossip leader had a gloomy face.
Qingyi's inference is not groundless. When the World Tree appears in the Twilight Empire, the elves immediately know that it was the blood elves who did the good thing, and the two sides start a curse war, which intensifies, and the players agree that this battle must be fought. And the Bagua Sect Master, as the only great god among the elves, is the clearest about the thoughts of both sides, and the major event that can make him unable to pull away must be "one side of the elves or blood elves is preparing to go to war".
After careful scrutiny, Qingyi's face was even more unsightly. Before the Bagua Sect Master affirmed this inference, he still had an idea; After the Bagua Sect Master affirmed his inference, this assumption was no longer an assumption, but was incomparably closer to reality. He asked again, sounding more like a self-question: "The bald eagle will be on the elf's side...... Am I on the side of the Blood Elves? ”
The gossip leader nodded and didn't speak.
A long, long time ago, the bald eagle and the gossip leader helped the elves in the battle, and fought with the orcs in the dark, although they were defeated later, but the friendship between the two gods and the elves is still there. The elves want to teach the blood elves a lesson, so the first thing to count on is the bald eagle. On the other hand, since the other party has invited a war tycoon, the blood elves can't show weakness, so they naturally have to find a ruthless character who can beat the bald eagle, and it just so happens that its ally, the Twilight Empire, is this ruthless character. No wonder Bald Eagle said in the post that he wanted to form a group, and it seems that he also wants to take the opportunity to fight June Sunshine again.
This battle is inevitable.
Thinking of this, Qingyi asked a very crucial question: "Which side are you on?" ”
"I said it in the post a long time ago, and I won't help anywhere. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, damn, why aren't the orcs fighting inside, so I can still watch a good show. The gossip sect leader plucked out his ears and looked worried: "You have to be careful." The bald eagle thinks very highly of himself, and he can lose to Dream Guanhe; Losing to you a half-tone, no. He's trying to kill you. ”
"I know what I know." Qingyi smiled. Although he can't talk about how good the relationship is with the gossip sect leader, he also treats the other party as a friend when he cares about the other party. Of course, it's the kind of friend who can betray at any time. "Free First Class to go to war?"
"He's a birdman, limited by the rules of the system, and can't help opposing factions. What you really have to watch out for is the rock trigger. ”
Qingyi's heart is transparent, and he immediately regards the rock trigger as a thorn in his side. Each three-turn profession is unique, and the characteristics of the profession can be seen from its name. When the rock trigger turns the second time, he is a cowboy, very cunning, he likes to put cold guns, and often changes places with one shot, so he can be promoted to "poaching expert". No matter where elves and blood elves fight, the battlefield is bordered by the forest, and the forest is simply the home of the sneak attackers.
Thinking of that charming marksmanship, Qingyi took a breath: "I don't understand, why he always targets me." ”
"Because he's a thrill-seeker, the more exciting things he has, the more he wants to do."
"Then why didn't he go to fight against him? This is the most exciting thing about the whole "gospel." ”
"That can't be compared to ......"
Since he said what he wanted to know, the gossip sect leader said goodbye, probably because he didn't want to stay in a certain place for a long time. Qingyi also hurried to assign tasks to wake up Squill and Brian. On the ground, Diesel was taken by the city construction team to choose a site for the Mage Tower, because the Mage Tower is one of the recruitment conditions for soul mages. This is a trivial matter that Qingyi doesn't need to worry about at all, because the Dusk Empire already has a well-established mechanism (due to the fact that prosperity, popularity, and population have reached a certain order of magnitude) and can solve most of the problems on its own.
But it's not enough. The Empire of Dusk is a young eagle, just barely able to cope with the stormy waves that follow. Capital, capital, capital! Qingyi's mind is full of this word, and he is going crazy thinking about it! Slaughtering cities and conquests is a necessary process of capital accumulation in the early stage, but in a calm period, how can more capital be saved?!
Qingyi suddenly had an idea and sent a wavelength to Diesel.
When Diesel heard this, he was very surprised: "Your Majesty, although it is completely feasible from the perspective of magic and contract, but ...... It's shocking, isn't it? The Dark Church and the Holy See are the absolute first to jump out against it! ”
"It's a necessary reform, and I don't care what other people think. Put the rest of the matter aside and get this done for me first. Qingyi was resolute because he knew that as soon as this measure was introduced, the Twilight Empire would officially become a capitalist society. With capital, he has leverage. "By the way, pure white abomination is counting on you!"
Diesel was full of promises.
Then, there was something very strange to Qingyi: the Seru Vega army actually went back, and it turned out to be just a military exercise for a long time? It's really confusing. Maybe it has something to do with the uproar over the Singer incident in Astente? Because the Cloudy Sky Singer incident caused some changes on the continent, and the goal of the wise Gareth was achieved, he stopped?
What exactly is the purpose?
Civil strife in Astant? No, then why was it bad to point a soldier at Saramonro and attack Astante directly?
Kill the Cloudy Singer? No, that's an internal problem for Astant, and the berserkers don't need to worry about it.
No, I don't have a clue. The victim of this incident is Astant, but no matter how you look at it, the beneficiary is not Seruviga! So Qingyi removed the Yin Sky Singer incident again, and concentrated on interpreting "Seru Vega Sending Troops":
Bing refers to the Twilight Empire, in fact, he wants to attack Saramonroe? No, maybe it was with the help of Nei Ying that only attacked "someone" in Saramonro - King Saramonro? It's possible, but why did Gareth suddenly give up? Aware of the Twilight Empire's alliance with Saramonroe? Such a top-secret blood contract, how could anyone know!
It's too complicated to think about it this way.
Qingyi adjusted his thinking and summarized the impact of the cloudy day singer. After three minutes of meditation, he keenly discovered that the most direct impact was the increase in the price of armaments, and the biggest beneficiary was the Dusk Empire, which was preparing to mass-produce "broken silver" armaments. Looking back, Seruviga sent troops...... Isn't it possible to make the international situation tense and invisibly raise the price of armaments?! In other words, the purpose of Gareth the Wise is to raise the price of armaments! However, according to the contract, the price increase is beneficial and harmless to the Dusk Empire, the higher the price, the more Qingyi earns! Could it be that Gareth is so good-hearted that he wants to help the necromantic creatures?!
The profits are too lucrative, and Qingyi feels a faint danger, just like facing a sugar-coated cannonball, just like facing a cheese rat trap. As the saying goes, "profit makes wisdom faint", will you make an irreparable decision in the face of huge interests?
"Suspend the purchase of ore, divert funds to foreign financial institutions, and reduce the pressure on debt. Private financing continues as usual. Qingyi said to Brian.
Whatever the enemy's intentions, you just need to be cautious. There was no total amount of transactions when the contract was signed, and Qingyi was free to regulate and control this aspect, even if it produced less, but the profit was also reduced. But mitigating risks and making the capital chain not easy to break is more important than making money.
After taking what he thought was appropriate, Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Tsk, it's really troublesome to manage the country, and you can't do it without a little care.
—————————————————————————————————————
King Astante was so sick that the royal physicians were in a hurry. It is no wonder that His Majesty was already anxious about the affairs of the two heroes, and seeing that because Oliver had recovered, the two sides could not fight, so he returned to the palace with confidence, who knew that the next day there would be shocking news...... This great joy and sorrow is too torturous emotion. Although the news of the king's illness was concealed, the ambassadors of various countries received the news from some source, and the next morning they did not come to the palace with good intentions to express their condolences. Marshal Scott received him on his behalf, and at first glance it looked like an important minister took advantage of the chaos to seize power, which made the capital even more panicked. An ambassador asked if the two hero shooters had teamed up against the enemy at the time of the incident. Field Marshal Scott was furious and did not answer.
The whole political environment is messy, but none of it has anything to do with outsiders.
The Bishopric and the Knights of the Iron Hoof completed their mission, and Jonny, who was in charge, could have rested, but he dragged his infully recovered body and searched for heresy. This time he investigated more carefully and acted more ruthlessly, but whenever there was a silent crow near a certain house, he dragged the head of the household out and beat him to death, without asking the reason. After the investigation, a commissioner found out that the head of the household may be a Saramonro spy agent, and he couldn't help but admire the sharpness of the hero's vision, thinking that the "alternate saint" should not stay in the Holy See and should go to counter-espionage work.
The Celestial Singer's soul is gifted, and his death can even cause after-effects on Jonny, and in the eyes of the Bishopric, the inhabitants affected by the battle are hopeless. But the "Divine Blood" is the nemesis of all forms of death, which can eradicate the dead energy in the inhabitants, so that the prestige of the Dance of Justice has once again skyrocketed, so that everyone who sees it will have tears in their eyes. Save with blood! What a selfless act of kindness, what a great act of righteousness! After treating the wounded of the entire city, "Paranoia" quietly disappeared in a hail of praise, and even Jonny didn't know where he had gone.
In the Guardian Hero's Mansion......
Inside the bamboo curtain, Lancelot flicks the strings. The sound of the piano is sometimes intense, sometimes jerky, like a stream of water bursting out of the earth's surface, rushing left and right, hitting one stone after another, forced to change the direction of the flow, and after several efforts, it stops gloomily, and can only dissolve into the sand and stones. The performance technique of this piece is the same as always, but the artistic conception is different from usual, and no matter how you listen to it, it is depressing.
Although he played well, he just played a song, and no one knew him. The wind blows, and the sound of loneliness resounds in the garden, which is becoming increasingly thin.
He said to himself, "This winter is a bit long." ”
