All kinds of thoughts flashed wildly, because he was unprepared, Sean didn't dare to talk casually, combined with his actual situation, and answered truthfully: "Since I was a child, I have been very afraid of death, very afraid, so, I have been desperately tempering my body since I was a child, practicing magic, lest I accidentally die, but an accident made me realize that my own strength has a limit after all, if we hadn't gone out hunting, maybe I would have become a slave gladiator who killed those slave hunters to kill others." ”

"From that moment on, I decided to gather those like-minded people and huddle together for warmth, but I didn't expect that the energy we burst out was beyond my imagination, but in the process, we peeked into other secrets. ”

"What's the secret?" said Nitya, who was not impatient at all, and looked like she was listening.

"The Great Elder is well-informed, I don't know if you have felt the changes in the environment of heaven and earth? It's not the abnormal climate of the Despair Swamp, I mean the magic power, compared to a few decades ago, or a hundred years ago, is there a difference in the magic power?"

Different people must be dealt with, and now that the words have been said, Sean decides to drop a bombshell and try Nitya's water.

What's more, this person in front of him is an out-and-out antique, who has experienced a lot of things personally, and may even provide Sean with some valuable information.

Memories may be forgotten over time for ordinary people, but for warlocks, especially master-level warlocks, it is not a problem at all.

As long as they want, they can easily recall every moment after they awakened.

Of course, as you get older, the longer you want to recall things, the longer it takes, after all, many things are automatically archived by the brain to the deepest part of the memory, as for whether these memories are stored in the brain or engraved in the soul, it is unknown, this is not the field that Sean can peep into now.

Flipping through the memories of hundreds of years ago, it takes longer, Nitya closed her eyes for nearly a quarter of an hour, and when she opened her eyes again, the shock in them could not be concealed no matter what, and her voice involuntarily rose several decibels: "That's right, compared to before, the magic power seems to have become more active, originally I thought that my strength has become stronger over time, but now it seems that this is only one aspect, young lord, how did you find this?"

Just like boiling a frog in warm water, time is a little bit higher temperature, in it, it is difficult to perceive the changes, only by intercepting two long spans of time for comparison, will you feel the changes.

This was the case with Nydia, who had never wanted to make a similar comparison before.

Sean's spirit is lifted, as long as you can feel it, it's easy to do, the most afraid thing is that you don't feel anything, in that case, even if you say it, Nitya won't necessarily believe it.

Sean said with a bit of mystery: "We have just grasped this information, and it was discovered through some beast mutations, and then I flipped through a large number of ancient Andis Empire books and found that the magic power is like the sea, there are tides, and it will change with time, when it is at the lowest point, it is the end of the law era, and vice versa, although I don't know the specific principles to follow, how long the span is, but one thing is certain, the end of the law era has long ended, and the magic power is becoming active again." ”

In the end, Sean couldn't hide his excitement on his face, and at the same time, he faintly revealed a little fear, "This is a trend caused by the general environment, it is unstoppable, in this kind of environmental change, not to mention the power of individuals, even the power of ordinary groups is very fragile, we must unite all the forces that can be integrated, huddle together for warmth, and deal with any possible crisis." ”

This speculation has been pressed in Sean's heart for a long, long time, but no one can tell it, first, it is too shocking, it is easy to cause a riot if you are not careful, and secondly, it is not easy to win people's trust, after all, speculation accounts for the main part of this.

Now he throws this speculation out because the other party has a memory that spans a hundred years, which can help him verify it, and at the same time, he also wants to blow it up with a bombshell to see if he can blow it up to his side.

Nitya didn't reply for a long time, and finally shook her head vigorously and said, "This kind of argument is too unbelievable, unbelievable. ”

Obviously, she is conducting a new round of verification through her own memory, but the more she verifies it, the more frightened she becomes, because the result is that Sean's remarks seem to be able to stand up, and explain the reason for the change in the concentration of magic power itself.

Nitya finally said, "You're just speculating, and you can't be sure." ”

"Yes, it's just speculation, but a lot of evidence is pointing in this direction, so we have to prevent it, I don't know if the Great Elder has done research in this regard, according to the research of our special department, the power of magic can stimulate beasts, make them stronger and smarter, and some will even have spells similar to those of Odin's orcs, when all beasts are no longer simple beasts, where should we go?"

Sean let out a long sigh and said, "Whether the Great Elder believes it or not, we have always had good intentions and want to seek common development, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about this at all, our army would have come in directly, it's not that we boast, the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army has come in, what do you use to resist?" When the time comes, we will only need to place our fleet on the Danube, and most of the swamp of despair will be in our hands, but then there will be no room for any relaxation between our two peoples, and only the complete death of one can end, which is not what we want to see. ”

"How ignorant the world is, it's useless for me to see through alone, all the crocodile people must be able to accept you, you did quite well, make persistent efforts, and when you get the approval of most of the crocodile people, everything will naturally fall into place, before that, what you have to do is not how much you have gained, but how much you have paid, how many hearts you have gained, they may be ignorant, but they are not stupid, know who is really good to them. Nitya replied softly.

"Thank you for your ancestors' teachings. Sean looked whole and said with sincere gratitude, and even the title has changed from the official honorific title of Great Elder to the more affectionate Elder within the crocodile clan.

Although Nitya's words did not give any direct sexual commitment, there was a lot hidden in the words.

For example, she has no objection to the Eternal Night Leader's attempt to annex the Crocodile, provided that the Eternal Night Leader can do it as a matter of course and be recognized by most of the Crocodile.

And then she recognized what the Eternal Night Army Leader had done recently, there was no hatred for no reason, and there was no love for no reason, if the Eternal Night Army Leader refused to pay from beginning to end, and came with the intention of plundering, even if the crocodile people were ignorant and uncivilized, they would understand it after a while, and then the hatred for the Eternal Night Army Leader would only become an indissolvable hatred.

In and out of the words, he is also telling Sean not to be blinded by the immediate interests, act irrationally, and ruin the good reputation accumulated in the early stage.

"It's good to know what you know. Nitya closed her eyes again and said, "I'm tired, I need to rest for a while, let them young people continue to fight, if you can, I want to go to your relevant research department if you can." ”

As a double peak, of course, Nitya can't fall into a state of exhaustion after exerting a lot of energy like an ordinary old lady, but the news brought by Sean is too impactful, ready to think and compare more comprehensively.

"Okay, I'll make that then. Sean didn't refuse.

Nitya and Sophia are not of the same nature.

The Eternal Night Leader and the latter can only be a cooperative relationship of interests, and some things cannot be exposed casually.

Nitya was able to fight to join the Eternal Night, and the other party had a good sense of them from the beginning.

In Sean's opinion, Nitya's life experience and the knowledge in her head are the most valuable treasures, and if she can be won over, it is possible for the Eternal Night Warlord's research on magic to go directly to the next level.

With this consideration, the attitude of the Eternal Night Army Leader at the negotiating table has changed subtly, although it has been an aggressive posture from beginning to end, but when the hammer is really dropped, it is not the lion who opens his mouth and eats all the benefits, but leaves three points for the crocodile.

However, these three points of benefit are not for those elders, but for those ordinary crocodile people.

Behind the opening of the lion of the Eternal Night Army, there are several main targets hidden.

On the Danube, outside the Grim Reaper's waterway, build a large port.

The Reaper's Aqueduct is a natural gateway to the Danube for the Eternal Night Army, and it is also a natural obstacle, limiting the amount of transportation per unit of time.

Normal use is sufficient in peacetime, but when it comes to busy periods, especially in wartime, it is not conducive to the rapid assembly of the fleet.

Having a large port of call would greatly reduce this vulnerability.

According to the original plan of the Eternal Night Commanders, not only would they eat this large port alone, but also make the Danube River upstream of the port their military territory.

Doing so maximizes the benefits, but it is equivalent to tearing flesh from the swamp of despair, since all the crocodile people who understand the slightest thing will be filled with righteous indignation, and the good reputation they have established before will be overthrown.

Therefore, the Eternal Night Warlord took a more moderate approach, which was to build together.

The Eternal Night Army provided the design, technicians, and some building materials, and the Crocodiles were responsible for the main workforce.

After completion, there is joint control, nominally half of each party, but given that the crocodiles have an elder council system, that half of the power is divided among the layers.

Just like the holding, the Eternal Night Army Leader has 50% of the shares, and the maximum single holding on the crocodile side is not more than 10%, and the Eternal Night Army Leader can exceed 50% if he casually attracts a small tribe and small clan.

Of course, the accounts are not entirely like this, as the relationship between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribes has become closer and closer, many tribes and tribes, forced to make a living, have secretly thrown themselves into them.

The Eternal Night Leader now has his own eyeliner and voice in the Crocodile Elders' Council, not to mention that their every move is in the eyes of the Eternal Night Leader, and sometimes it can even indirectly influence some of their actions.

Then there is the agreement signed by the two sides on the free movement and export of labor.

The Eternal Night Commander is now in a state of large-scale construction, and now the speed of their construction and development is limited by labor.

The crocodile people have changed their way of life due to changes in the environment, there are not so many fishing grounds to fish, they can't find a direction for farming, and the current environment of the Desperate Swamp has not been completely stabilized.

This month is a fish pond, and it will dry up in two months, but a heavy rain will refill the place, and there is no way to reclaim it.

This is also the reason why the Eternal Night Warlord gave up the lightning invasion and switched to slow encroachment, even if it is taken down now, it can't be developed, it is meaningless, but through the exchange of interests, it can now dig out benefits from the crocodiles.

In other words, the most valuable treasure of the Swamp of Despair right now is not the land, but the crocodiles.

The Kingsley family stared at the land, but it was a loss for them.

Even though a lot of the crocodile labor force has been mobilized because of the intervention of the Eternal Night Commander, there is still a part of the labor force that has nothing to do.

In recent years, the result of the surplus labor force has not only been a lack of food, but also a frequent occurrence of vicious incidents such as theft, fights, and brawls, which has caused internal chaos.

The Eternal Night Leader can help the Crocodiles alleviate this matter, and even if the Council of Elders senses that the Eternal Night Leader has other intentions, it will have to pinch its nose and admit it, not to mention that many people can't figure it out at all.

Another significance of this agreement is to deepen the integration and understanding of the two sides.

The Eternal Night Commander is confident in his own situation, and there may still be a long way to go compared to the riches of the Plains of Asia Minor, but compared to the crocodiles, especially those who live at the bottom, it is really a world of difference.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Things will be much easier when they wander around the Eternal Night Command and see for themselves how they live.

There are countless similar soft knives, and the Council of Elders has no way to prevent them, because many conditions are in their favor.

The Eternal Night Commander is ready to exchange benefits for the favor and popular hearts of the crocodile.

The Council of Elders can't refuse brutally and say to its own people that the Eternal Night Army leader is buying people's hearts, right?

Then they lose hearts and minds faster.

Negotiation is a process of you advancing and retreating.

The Crocodiles will not meet all the needs of the Eternal Night Commander, and the Eternal Night Commander will not fully agree to the Crocodile's conditions, especially the food.

Just as the Lancelot royal family used it as a rope to tie the Kingsley family, it was the main means by which the Eternal Night Army led to persecute the Council of Elders.

The crocodile people still have a large number of people below the food and clothing line, it doesn't matter, as long as the labor is exported to the Eternal Night Army, it will not only help them solve the problem of food and clothing, but also generate income.

In order to buy people's hearts, the Eternal Night military leader treats the crocodile people equally, and gives full remuneration for their labor.

It was useless for the Council of Elders to try to stop it, and the agreement signed by the two sides had already been announced with the merchant ships of the Eternal Night Army, and these merchant ships were at the forefront and took the lead in bidding to recruit sailors and crews.

This is one of the most suitable jobs for crocodiles, after all, they spend two-thirds of their first half of their lives on ships.

However, the Eternal Night Warlords are in the greatest demand in this regard, and they have as many as eight shipyards, each with no less than 1,000 people, and new ships are launched every day.

In addition to being exported as a commodity, some of them are also retained for their own use.

But the problem is that the training of sailors is a bit out of lineage, and many ships can only be left there and idle.

After signing the agreement, it is natural to use them all, which is all money.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not only the water that flows on the Jacobs River, but also gold.
