315. The Desire for Strength
Beth and Enkos didn't stay long, and the two quickly chose to leave, and at the same time told Sean how to leave the mermaid capital.
In fact, there isn't much left of this mermaid capital.
Many of the things had been emptied of Lancet's ancestors when they first came here, and the rest of the things that couldn't be removed were not very important things. The reason why Lanster came to the Mermaid Capital was just to let Lanster empty the library of the Mermaid Capital - that storage ring was saved for this purpose, after all, for the mermaid family, knowledge is a very important content.
As for the five sacred treasures of the mermaid, Beth only knows the whereabouts of the Pearl of the Deep, which is now in the ruins of Atlantis.
Sean didn't have any idea about this ruin, he didn't plan to open up the wasteland at all - whether it was now or in the future, anyway, no normal person could use the things that were cleared. The game is all about experience, bloodline, and other messy things, but Sean doesn't lack these things at all now, why would he risk opening up a relic that benefits the world?
The mermaid holy crown is worn on Huo Huo's head, and I heard that Sean also has a mermaid clan around him, but Beth left this holy crown to Sean, and told Sean about the secret of this holy crown.
In fact, the Mermaid Sacred Crown was made by Andrew, and it is said to be a reference to the control center made by the puppet creatures he encountered during one of his previous adventures. In addition to being a symbol of image identity, the greater value of this sacred crown lies in the manipulation of the puppets, and the mermaids wearing the mermaid crowns have the right to control all the puppets. This is also the secret used by the emperors of the Mermaid Empire to suppress riots.
Only, with the mermaid holy crown disappeared during the First Empire. The puppets developed during the Second Mermaid Empire have undergone some changes, and they no longer rely on the Mermaid Sacred Crown to control them. Instead, a new set of magic array control systems was used. Of course, because the construction template of the puppets is still the blueprint of the first mermaid empire, these puppets can still be controlled by the mermaid crown.
It's just that after Sean got the mermaid holy crown, he faced two problems.
First, the only one who can use the function of the Mermaid Holy Crown is Lenster.
Second, Sean doesn't have a puppet - the puppet in the Mermaid City at this time has already been destroyed in the battle with those demon soldiers in the commotion that Elken made just now. If it weren't for Enkos to let these demons roll back into the abyss. Now Sean might have a headache to clean up these demons.
Therefore, unless Sean creates a new mechanism golem, the Mermaid Crown is basically worthless. And even if Sean plans to create a puppet legion, it is also a requirement that this puppet legion must obey his command and control, not obey the manipulation of this bullshit mermaid holy crown.
Therefore, the mermaid holy crown that Beth directly threw to Sean now has only a symbolic role.
As for the other three sacred treasures of the mermaid clan, the mermaid's heart is in Lancet's hands, and the trident and the Poseidon sword are truly missing.
But these treasures aren't artifacts anyway. Even if it's not used by anyone other than the merfolk clan, Sean is not interested at all. Especially after knowing that there is no treasure in the mermaid capital, Sean doesn't even have the desire to explore. As Beth and Nkos left, Sean gave Beth a shard of earth filled with the power of the Law of Eight Sections and the bones of the deep sea elves. If you count the one material that Beth found by himself and the one that Sean gave him before, Andrew only had nine materials left on the material list.
After Beth and Nkos left, Sean joined up with Harding, Heatley, Oriana, and others. The crowd waited for Lance to return.
Sure enough, it lived up to everyone's expectations. The first time Ranster woke up, he returned directly to the Mermaid Capital. Instead of leaving here and going back for help.
The rest is simple.
With Bess in the right direction, Sean asks the group to do Ranster's favor and empties the entire Mermaid Capital Library, and then they set off back to the surface - through a short portal to Guò, everyone is quickly back in the Water Demon Vault. Originally, Sean thought that there were a lot of treasures in this mermaid capital, so he deliberately emptied the storage ring, but he didn't expect it to be Bai Huanxi, so Sean was still a little unhappy.
Of course, if there is no gain, it is not necessarily true.
Eight Earth Laws, Seven Demon King-level Main Hearts, a Complete Magical Soul, a Mythical Skill Crystal, a Mythical Spear, a Sanctuary Martial Arts, a Powerful Defensive Sword Skill, and Gollum's Awakening Method.
Any one of these things is enough to be a perfect harvest, let alone get them all at once.
But Sean is still a little dissatisfied.
After all, he is not a situation where he is not hungry for the whole family, he has to think about the entire principality, but there is not much time for him to waste. In particular, it is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation of the Void Principality is mired in a long-term war, and the inhabitants of the entire Principality are almost reaching the situation of ten households and five emptiness, coupled with the massacre and blockade ordered by William before, I am afraid that a large number of displaced people will not move into the Void Principality in a short period of time, so the source of troops will immediately become tense.
And it is not a long-term solution to rely on slaves from the trading capital to replenish it.
Not to mention that now that Sean is on the blacklist of the trade capital, it is strange that the trade capital is willing to engage in slave trade with him. Let's just say that he agreed to the affairs of the Barbarian Federation and no longer engage in the slave trade, then he and the Void Duchy must also lead by example.
So, the development of the population is now completely one of Sean's most troubled places.
After all, this is reality.,It's not a stand-alone game.,If the game lacks population, I can still open a modifier to change it.。
Sean is really having some headaches.
It's just that no matter how much headache it is, this kind of policy that needs to recuperate and recuperate will definitely not be able to prosper so quickly. According to Sean's speculation, there is no way to enter the second booming period without more than five or six years. Especially after the Void Principality established itself, no matter how good the welfare policy was, the continuous wars were enough to make those displaced people afraid to migrate over.
Besides, even if these homeless people want to migrate, it is a problem for those noble lords to let them go.
After all, population is an important foundation for the development of a territory.
If there is no sufficient population, then a territory is meaningless, no matter how vast and rich in resources.
Sitting in the study, Sean's eyes looked through the window at the streets of the Wild City, and his expression was very calm.
Savage City, this is the fortress stronghold that Maine had established before, but now it has developed in André's hands, and has gradually developed into a prosperous metropolis. Sean has considered transferring the Savage Legion back to sit here, after all, it is still a relatively dangerous thing for such a prosperous city to not have a strong army in charge, but now that the Savage Legion is in Hela's hands and has been sent to the front line, it is not easy to deal with for the time being.
"Are you really going to leave?" Nolo asked, standing in the doorway, frowning.
"Yes." Sean said in a deep voice, "I've thought about it for a long time, there's no point in playing any conspiracy until we don't have enough strength. …… We can indeed take advantage of the fact that the Millennium Covenant Empire has no time to take care of us now, and quickly send troops to force the Millennium Covenant Empire to accede to our demands, but what about after that? …… Once the utopia develops, no one will not be blushing, and with our current strength, it is impossible to hold it. ”
Nolo didn't know what utopia was, but he hadn't been here for a day or two, and of course he knew what kind of country the Millennium Covenant Empire was.
Now, the empire is really in the midst of civil strife, and the war that should have ended has been dragged into the quagmire due to some accidents, and now both the emperor army and the rebel army have become a dilemma. And with the ambition of the emperor of the thousand-year alliance, it is absolutely impossible to continue to let these rebel nobles rebel in rebellion, so even if those noble rebel army has the intention to sue for peace and is willing to return to the emperor's command, this emperor will not agree.
If at this time, Sean and the Savage Federation unite to attack the Empire, then there will be two possibilities.
First, the Millennium Covenant Empire gave up a qiē internal contradiction and united to resist Sean's Void Principality and the Barbarian Federation; The second is to agree to Sean's request to cede all the Black Earth Land in the south of the empire and the Millennium Covenant Area of the Wild Land to Sean. It's just that in this way, the second option is a shame for the Millennium Covenant Empire, which may speed up the emperor's search for an excuse to start a war with Sean after sweeping away the internal instability at any cost.
With the current situation of the Void Duchy, it is absolutely impossible to stop the army of the Millennium Covenant Empire.
As for the Savage Federation, Sean doesn't think that these guys will rot good people to help him, after all, they are just a cooperation agreement. They can be their closest allies, partners, and friends before absolute interests, but once the Void Duchy falls into a sign of decay, I am afraid that they will turn into hungry wolves - Sean can trust the Wild Winter Tribe, the Wall Tribe, the Great Red Fire Tribe, and the Roxi Tribe, but he can't trust the other tribes, especially the two dwarven tribes.
Because as long as they can annex the Void Principality, it is equivalent to opening a commercial outlet, and when the time comes, they don't need to go through the Void Principality if they want to obtain any materials.
And to get out of this predicament, then strength is needed.
Sean needs a lot of strength, enough power to make people dare not take it lightly and raise the heart of rebellion.
"I've already arranged everything." Sean said in a deep voice, "This time, I will travel on my own, and you will also have a chance to take a vacation. …… Of course, if you don't mind the trouble, go and help William get rid of all the bad blood, and then sue him and let him return to the Void Duchy as much as possible, and I will ...... I'm afraid I'll be away for a long time. (To be continued......)
