Chapter 258: News of the Goblin
"Why?"
Semiramis shook his head, not quite understanding what Alice meant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Why can't you choose the east and the north?"
Alice didn't answer Semiramis's question directly, but looked at the map in front of her and frowned in deep thought, and only raised her head again after half a ring.
"No, whether it's Scandinavia in the north or Funen in the east, we can't choose. β
"Why?"
Semiramis looked at Alice's eyes in confusion, without blinking, she couldn't understand why she, who was usually so smart, hesitated so much at this time.
If it is said that he did not attack Scandinavia because of Attila, and was afraid that the sandpiper and clam would fight and let the Atira fisherman benefit, then after killing the king of Ferine, Horosgar, he did not send troops to occupy Phi Young, which is just a small strait away, which is something that Semiramis has never been able to understand after coming to Jutland and learning about the situation here.
"Why don't you occupy the island of Fein, even now, you haven't missed the good time to occupy them, if you occupy it now, there will be no resistance on the island at all, if you really occupy it, those Yaats won't say anything, this time you have already shown your combat effectiveness in the battle with Attila, as long as those guys still have a little sense, and don't want to turn a friend into an enemy because of this territorial reason when facing Atira, they will pinch their noses and admit itγ β
"After the occupation, we will be able to use the island of Funen as a springboard to continue the attack on the island, and at that time, the three territories of Sealand, Funen and Jutland will be connected, and the entire Baltic Sea will become our inland sea, and the races living in the Baltic Sea will be controlled by us. β
"And, according to what I have received from the goblins, the soil on the island of Funen is not the same as ours in Jutland, the soil there is very fertile, very suitable for the growth of crops and pastures, and with the right climate, the crops and livestock of just one island can supply half of Scandinavia, and if our rhinoceros people go there to farm and graze, the problem of food will no longer be a problem for us. β
"Taking advantage of the fact that the gods have not yet found a way to bypass the contract and intervene in the main plane, we have quickly turned everything into settlement, and when the gods enter the main plane again, they have three territories of Jutland, Fiying and Sealand, and rule the entire Baltic region, and we don't need to be too afraid of the gods who can't really come. β
Alice only shook her head at Semiramis's statement.
"Even then, it is impossible for us to abandon the marine plan that we have made before, and the island of Phine-Ying cannot be attacked. β
"Huh?"
"Just like you said, to occupy the island of Funen without a leader and no army, with our current strength, it can be said that it is effortless, and the occupied island of Funen can also bring us rich benefits, and can make the strength of our territory swell violently, but this time I have made contact with those Scandinavians, including the Goths, Yeats, Barusenges, etc., with my understanding of them, if I go to occupy Funen at this time, those guys who only have muscles left in their brains will definitely not care about the three-seven-twenty-one, regardless of the Atila army next to them, directly attacking us. β
"Now because of this expedition, we have settled our grudge with them and become friends, in their eyes, if we go to occupy the island of Funen, then it will be absolutely impossible to betray, the simpler the people, the more they cannot betray, and when the time comes, they will definitely be destroyed by Attila in the end to attack us. β
"They will surely think that even if they want to destroy, they will kill the betrayal. β
ββ¦β¦ How could it be, is there such a stupid person in the world?"
Semiramis asked in disbelief, for a girl who is still a little immature at this time, the thinking of simple-minded guys is the most difficult to predict, because her opponents are usually smart people, and they are all guys whose reason is greater than ambition, and this also makes Semiramis accustomed to using the psychology of smart people to speculate too much about the behavior of his opponent, and for simple-minded guys, such speculation will definitely not be established.
"yes, there really are such stupid guys in this world. β
Alice thought of the Yaats she had met in Scandinavia, and the prince from Barusinga, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Moreover, even if we succeed in occupying Fience, we will not be able to continue to occupy Sealand. β
"Semiramis, do you know the origin of Zealand?"
Speaking of which, Alice sold a pass and did not continue.
"I don't know. β
Semiramis had only been in Jutland for a few months, and she certainly couldn't have known anything about Sealand, though it wasn't a secret, but it was only a matter among the gods, and if Alice hadn't known Brunhilde, she wouldn't have known anything about Sealand.
"Zealand wasn't originally there, it wasn't formed by nature. β
"Are you saying that this island is the work of the gods?"
With his eyes wide open, Semiramis immediately heard something from Alice's words.
"That's right, according to the information I've gotten, this is indeed the work of the gods, and the exact circumstances are beyond the question, but there are still some legends left. β
Legend has it that many years ago in Scandinavia, there was a tribal leader named Gorver, who did not know the power of the gods, and decided to make a bet with a powerful god, saying that as long as the gods were in his territory, how much land they could dig in a day and night, then how much land would be given to the gods. β
Of course, the gods agreed to the promise of the tribal leader named Gorver, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on the ground, the gods took her four demigod sons to the tribe chief's domain, and then, to the astonishment of all, she turned her four sons into four huge oxen, with plows behind them, and in this way the gods drove her sons to dig a large piece of land from Gorver's land, and moved it to the sea, and saw for herself how powerful and invincible the gods were, and that Gorver, no matter how unwilling he was, could only admit his defeatγ
Since then, however, a huge crater has been left in the land of Scandinavia, and over time the pothole has been slowly filled with rainwater, which is how the largest lake in Scandinavia, Lake Vanern, comes from.
The excavated land was transported by the gods to the southern sea, forming a vast island, which is the origin of Zealand. β
"So what? the deity must have left the main plane by now, and according to the contract, she can't blatantly meddle in the affairs of the main plane, unless they can find a loophole in the contract. β
Although Semiramis did not doubt the truth of what Alice said, judging from her tone, she did not mean to back down because of the presence of the gods.
"No, I'm not talking about the gods, if we want to conquer Fiin and Sealand, those Scandinavians are actually not the main threat, they want to attack us from the north, they also need the approval of Attila, and the trouble is on Sealand, the sons of the four gods, few people know that there are four legendary demigods hidden on Sealand. β
"Are you saying that the four sons of the gods are still in the main plane?"
Hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Semiramis's face.
If there is no false element in the legend, then it is just a simple judgment, and Semiramis can simply guess the strength of the four sons of the gods, and they must have crossed the level of the legend to reach a higher height, such a guy...... Semiramis shuddered, she remembered the Tutanka Meng, Ramses, and Menes she had encountered, and the power to wipe a city off the map with a wave of her hand was too terrifying.
"Whew, there's no way around it. β
Semiramis exhaled softly, the disappointment on his face could not be concealed, if he could not develop to the north and east, then in the end he could only choose the south without any intelligence.
"So, what's going on in the south? Alice, haven't you ever heard from you before?"
Soon, Semiramis adjusted her mindset and shifted her focus from the east side of Jutland to the south side, she had been persuaded by Alice not to fight the idea of Funen and Zealand, at least not until she really became a legend.
"No, I've always been focused on Scandinavia, and I don't have time to explore the news to the south. β
"What about the place of trade?
Semiramis asked relentlessly, but Alice's answer disappointed her.
"No, senior sister, you don't know that our southern Jutland region is a place where no god system exists, and there is no civilization born on it, except for the simple knowledge that it is ruled by inhumans, there is no other news, but senior sister. β
"Those green-skinned dwarfs should have information about that side, some of them came to Jutland from the south, they should have information about our southern territory of Jutland. β
Hearing Alice's words, Semiramis remembered the greenskins who had been arranged outside the city, and she clapped her hands to let in a vampire maid waiting outside the door, and after she had a few words, she let her out.
After about ten minutes, there was a crisp knock on the door, and the door opened, followed by a short man who was not even a meter.
It was a goblin, similar to the goblin Alice had killed, the only difference was the dress, this goblin had five or six pearl necklaces hanging on his body, ten fingers were wearing jewel-encrusted rings, and his clothes were also embellished with gold lace and other precious stones.
After bringing the people and completing Semirami's orders, the vampire maid consciously left the room and closed the door.
"Dear Jutland hosts, beautiful Miss Alice, and equally beautiful Miss Semiramis. β
With a humble smile on his face, the very "luxurious" goblin bowed slightly, put his left hand on his chest, and his right hand naturally drooped, and greeted Alice and Semiramis.
Although the goblin and Alice met for the first time, as goblin merchants who had been in Jutland for a short time, they soon learned about Semiramis and Alice from the lips of the simple rhinoceros and the naΓ―ve harpie.
"I'm Sherlock, a goblin merchant, do you need to buy anything from me, two beautiful young ladies? Not that I'm bragging, as a goblin merchant, you can find all the goods in the world from my team, Uruk, Persia, Egypt, Assyria, Amazon, Carthage, as long as it's in the countries of the main plane, you can find it in my convoy, and we ......"
Without giving the goblin Sherlock any further rambling, Alice immediately raised her hand to interrupt him.
"I'm not unaware of you goblins, and I think you should have gotten some information from me before coming to Jutland, I killed one of your companions before, and if you continue to talk nonsense, I don't think I would mind killing another one and robbing his inheritance. β
Alice's words made Sherlock's body tremble, and his two thin calves began to weaken, he took a few deep breaths, reluctantly suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Alice, and pressed down a few centimeters more, looking more humble.
"Beautiful Miss Alice, your deeds, your fame among every goblin, what do you want from me? β
"Since you goblins can sell everything, let's sign this agreement. β
Cracking her mouth slightly, Alice smiled a slightly wicked smile.
Sherlock took the parchment with the glow of magic in Alice's hand, he squinted his eyes and observed for a while, and then took out a few magical tools for testing, and after feeling that there was no problem, he signed his name at the bottom of the contract.
With a burst of flames, the parchment turned into bits of ash and disappeared in place
It was an ordinary non-disclosure agreement, stipulating that Sherlock would never leak out of today's conversation with Alice in any form, even if his consciousness was controlled by someone else, and the power of the contract would ensure that Sherlock kept it a secret.
"Don't blame me for doing this, whoever called you goblins have such a reputation. β
Seeing that the contract had come into effect, Alice's face looked slightly better.
"Since you can sell everything, now I'm going to buy you a message?"
"Beautiful Miss Alice, please say that honest Sherlock will know everything. β
"What is the situation in the south of Jutland, and who rules the land?"
Sherlock looked at Alice in surprise, he couldn't understand why the other party would make so much fanfare about such a simple question, but the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and all he could do now was to tell the other party what he knew.
"Miss Alice, do you mean Schleswig?"
