Chapter 83: Expanding the Territory
September 12th.
Zhou Ming asked the servants to roll up the covers and temporarily move out of the palace.
Then, put Lord Elsa inside.
A tragic tearing battle, a bloody storm in the palace, began!
As for the tragedy of the battle, I won't go into detail here, anyway, it is no exaggeration to imagine it as ten or a hundred times more tragic than the plot in some bloody palace TV dramas.
And the ministers and nobles in the court, when they saw the raging war in the harem, they were all dumbfounded.
One by one couldn't laugh, let alone gloat.
Then in front of Zhou Ming, desperately exhortation and complaint!
"Your Majesty, the two granddaughters of the minister are serving well in the palace, why do you want to let them go home?"
"Your Majesty, what is the crime of the minister's niece? Why do you want to drive her out of the palace? Your Majesty, the minister's niece has not eaten or drunk for two days, and she said that if Your Majesty does not allow her to go back, she will die of hunger strike!"
"Your Majesty, the niece of the minister went home and hanged herself three times, cut her wrists twice, and hit the wall five times...... No matter how you can't stop it, Your Majesty, please show mercy and save the niece of the minister!"
"Lord Elsa, this damn woman hasn't done a single good thing since she came to the imperial capital, she is all in trouble for the country and the people, Your Majesty, please kill this woman!"
"I can't tolerate Elsa, a vicious woman, to continue to do nonsense, Your Majesty won't let me kill, even if the minister gives up this life, he will die with her!"
"Yes, I can't bear it anymore, let's go kill Elsa's together, we want to get justice!"
Things developed to the back, and the ministers and nobles were actually excited to the extent that they planned to join forces to kill Elsa.
However, this is just a verbal cruel word, and there is no one who really dares to do it...... You must know that there are 100 Demon Netwalkers who are protecting Elsa.
And as the return operation progressed, the number of remaining "young maids" in the palace became smaller and smaller, and it was time to complete the task.
The wind has changed slightly.
At the beginning, a large number of ministers and nobles found Elsa in private, or sent people to send messages to curry favor with her or bribe her in private.
Why?
Because there are 300 places, they will eventually stay in the palace and become a very small number of "survivors".
These scarce places, everyone wants to fight for, and no one wants to give up.
But Zhou Ming also set standards, and only those who meet the following criteria can survive.
Criterion 1: Able to cook. This level can wipe out at least 80% of the people, after all, those eldest ladies from high-ranking families came to the palace for the purpose of soaking the emperor, and they didn't really come to serve people, not to mention, how could they cook when they were young people.
Criterion 2: Ordinary appearance. At least 70% of this level has been brushed off, and those who can go through layers of screening and finally be sent to the palace by their respective families cannot have low appearance, at least they are all middle-to-upper.
Criterion 3: Able to work. Like a real maid, she can do all kinds of work.
Criterion 4: Good temper. You can't tear up with people all day long, gossip and poison every day, play right and wrong behind your back, and you can't be too scheming, etc.
In short, the number of those who can meet all of the above criteria can be described as extremely rare.
If Elsa is stricter, the more than 3,000 harem Bichi, as long as she doesn't like it, she can find something wrong with her, and she can eliminate the other party.
It is precisely because of this that the number of people who dare to quarrel with Elsa is getting smaller and smaller, but they adjust their strategies and become more and more people who are soft and flattering her.
Elsa also advised them: After this round of return activities is over, the remaining 300 maids may be real maids, they will really start to do some work, work more than 8 hours a day, their freedom is restricted, they will no longer do what they want like at home, they will be punished if they make mistakes, and they are advised to give up and not suffer in vain.
But even so, most of the maids were still not moved, and reacted violently, saying that if she was sent out of the palace, she would kill herself, or find Elsa to die together.
In short, the attitude is very firm, and they are extremely persistent on the road of their dreams.
Elsa had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight with them with wits and courage, single-mindedly, just to complete this task.
……
The other side.
What is Zhou Ming, who moved out of the palace, doing?
On the one hand, it is to avoid those harassing voices and isolate the exhortations of ministers and nobles.
On the other hand, it is "expanding the territory".
In the expansion of the magic net "Blue Power", the "small territory" he occupies.
The first thing to know is that the "Blue Power" magic net has a total of 48 magic strings.
Of these, 16 were contaminated and only 32 were uncontaminated.
Among the 32 magic strings, Zhou Ming only occupied a small section at the end of one of the magic strings.
Now, with the rapid expansion of the power of the "Blue Light" guild and the rapid expansion of the number of guild members, the territory occupied by Zhou Ming in the magic net must also be expanded accordingly.
Otherwise, the newly developed members of the guild will not be able to enjoy a large number of services.
For example, you can't cast spells indefinitely, and you can't buy free spell slots.
For example, the mana stored in the mana warehouse will still be deducted by one-third of the rules of the magic net.
In addition, Zhou Ming's method of purifying the magic net is also difficult to use, because the magic power uploaded by most members to the magic net is still greater than the magic power transmitted from the magic net...... This is the equivalent of doing the blue hand a favor.
Zhou Ming had to find a way to expand his "territory", pull most of the members of his guild into his "territory", load the magic net laws he defined, exempt the "magic warehouse" from tax deductions, and so on.
And Zhou Ming's goal this time is a complete magic string.
Take down a whole magic string!
But to do that, there are a lot of problems to be solved and a lot of risks to be taken.
Because on top of a complete magic string, at least three or four million demon network walkers are connected.
Some of these Demon Net Walkers are members of the Zhou Ming Guild, and a considerable number of them are members of the Blue Hand Guild.
Zhou Ming needs to provide "benefits" for the members of his guild, and at the same time, he must also isolate the members of the Blue Hand Guild to prevent them from discovering Duanmi...... Or, infect them as "your own people".
In addition, in the process of expanding his territory, Zhou Ming not only had to confuse the leader of the Blue Hand Guild, Carlo Hisneri, but also had to avoid waking up the "Blue God".
Yes, there is indeed a god in the Blue Power Demon Net, which is the so-called "Blue God".
But the system told Zhou Ming that this "Blue God" is actually a collection of countless fragmented consciousnesses, constituting the most basic rules of the magic net, and it has the highest authority to control the magic net.
Even the system can't fight against the blue god, so it can only obediently hand over all permissions.
However, in the "War of the Gods", the blue god was hit hard and has been in a deep sleep, and the probability of suddenly waking up is not high.
Even so, Zhou Ming had to be careful to avoid moving too much and waking up the blue god.
In addition, for hundreds of millions of years, the reason why the Blue Hand has injected a large amount of magic power into the magic net is also to let the blue god get out of his slumber and wake up as soon as possible, and then use the power of the god to remove the pollution in the magic net.
And if Zhou Ming's method is implemented, the magic power in the magic net will be drained, and the blue god who has lost most of his magic power will face the final outcome can already be imagined.
Of course, Zhou Ming didn't care about the life or death of the blue god, he just hoped that this god, who had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years, would not suddenly wake up and affect his work.
Thereupon.
It is in the extreme caution that information deception, information shielding and so on are adopted.
It took nearly a year, and on December 11th, Zhou Ming, who had experienced many thrills and dangers, finally succeeded in winning a complete magic string in the magic net!
