Arsa is a desert of cultural development! In this wild land, many things are deformed.

The best technologies developed here were the preservation of oases, the production of food, the acquisition of fuel, the positioning of the desert, and the development of slave contracts, all of which made way for others.

It can even be said that in Arsa, everyone knows runes, but except for the runes related to slave contracts, it is not easy to find one of the other runes in a thousand people.

If it weren't for the elves' irregular expeditions to this place, some captives would have fallen into the hands of the Arsa, who might not even know the most basic modern runes.

Arsa does have an influx of foreign populations, but almost no one has come here for the last fifty years. The elves also seem to have noticed that the development here has been somewhat out of their control, so they have purposefully reduced the foreign population here.

In other words, Arsa has been isolated from the outside world for almost fifty years.

Even if the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm did not develop fast for various reasons, the gap of fifty years was still very large.

Only in terms of modern runes.

Fifty years ago, there were no space runes, no communication runes, no defense runes.

In particular, the last kind of defensive rune has penetrated into many places, and even places like the Fog Hidden Continent have systematic defensive runes used. But Arsa didn't.

As for the communication runes and spatial runes, many people here have not even heard of them.

Space runes are rare in the outside world, but communication runes, which can be used to communicate over long distances when needed, are completely blank in Arsa, so communication here is still destined to be basically a roaring stage.

In other words, as long as enough blockade is achieved, some news that you don't want outsiders to know can be easily blocked.

For example, the Demon Teleportation Array and the Rune Golem.

Although this is already a public thing in the six major countries, it has even become a commodity. But the people of the six great powers know in their hearts that the more secret these things are, the more effective they will be when they are used for the first time.

Unifying the inner ring, this can be said to be the ambition of each of the six major powers. Whether it can be achieved or not, at least the ambition must be put forward.

So the six great powers united to block the news.

As a result, Mali doesn't even know what the Gusi state is now relying on its greatest dependence. His hubris and dissatisfaction didn't even make him notice a glaring anomaly - the team that Crow was carrying had suddenly appeared in Ramonno's core oasis, and all the guards on their periphery had no news at all.

Ramonno didn't know either, but he knew at least one thing, and that was to be respectful of his overlord.

It has nothing to do with groveling, it's just a way to survive.

"Lord Ramonno doesn't have to care, I won't take such a thing to heart!" "Before we talk, let me first introduce you, this is my teacher and the current governor of the country of Gus, Nicholas Don!" ”

Tang Dou, who had been standing beside Crow as his back, lifted the black cloak on his body at this time, revealing a white smile: "Hello, Lord Ramonor!" ”

Ramonno almost fell to his knees in fright.

Mali's previous behavior was put in front of Crow, and he could still use his daughter's face to make Crow not care, and he also knew that Crow was an easy-going person, as long as Mali no longer continued to be presumptuous, Crow would not care about his offense.

But Tang Dou is different.

On the one hand, Tang Dou is the real ruler of the Gusi Kingdom, and it can be said that life and death are completely up to his heart; On the other hand, because of the news blockade, Ramonno can only know very few rumors about Tang Dou from some letters from his daughter. In his heart, Tang Dou is a guy who is moody, vicious, and has a great hatred for nobles.

Such a big man actually hid on the sidelines to watch his son's presumptuous behavior, which made Ramonno not surprised.

Looking at Tang Dou's grinning smile, Ramono's legs were weak and he was about to kneel.

"Lord Ramono, looking at you, it doesn't seem like I'm very welcome!" Tang Dou blinked. A man is as good as him, how can he not know what Ramonno is thinking. But this nasty creature doesn't have any patience or anything like that.

On the contrary, his nasty funny words made Ramonno literally fall to his knees.

Crow didn't understand what Tang Dou meant, and cast a puzzled look at him, she knew that Tang Dou had a lot of bad tastes, but there was only one thing that Tang Dou didn't have, and that was to make people kneel.

Tang Dou didn't like people kneeling in front of him, even those slaves kneeling in front of him, he didn't like it. But now Tang Dou didn't stop Ramonno's movements at all.

Tang Dou ignored Krow's eyes, and just looked at Ramonno indifferently: "Lord Ramonno, I'll get straight to the point, do you think that after a hundred years, your son can become a firm follower of our Gusi Kingdom?" If I'm not mistaken, your strength has reached the limit, and it is no longer possible to advance in half a minute, and in such a situation, how many years do you have to live? What do you think your son will do once he takes over? ”

Ramonno's body trembled, and Tang Dou's words reminded him of a fact that he had been deliberately avoiding all avoid.

Mali is not willing to become a subordinate of the Gusi state. He wanted to be independent, he wanted to be an independent leader like the other nine lords, and even wanted to become a founding lord.

But......

Most people whose hearts are higher than the sky have a life thinner than paper.

Ramonno knew his son too well, and Mali's little talent was not worth mentioning in the face of a true genius. But Mali, which has always lived in Ramono, and has only been in contact with a few other neighboring territories, has indeed suffered no setbacks since childhood.

With such a growth environment, and with his talent, he has the ability to be proud.

But it can only have the capital to be proud of in this environment.

The strongest ant in an ant nest is still an ant, and unless it can turn itself into something else, it will be just an ant without the nest. It's a joke in the face of other species that are even more powerful.

Truly intelligent people can see this and either choose to surrender or choose to hibernate. Only those who think they are smart are three sentences, and I will go against the sky.

Unfortunately, Mali is the latter.

Ramonno had known about Mali's problem before, and he had always thought that he could slowly correct it, but since Daisy got married, Mali no longer listened to him. And what could he say?

"Your Excellency, this, this is all a misunderstanding, I believe Mali will do a good job, it will be!" Ramonno saw a hint of murder in Tang Dou's eyes, which made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Do you believe this? Lord Ramono? Again, we need to be open and honest, and if you continue to deceive me with this lie that no three-year-old child believes, then I can continue the conversation with you. Aid to the Ramonor Territory will continue, and while the Ramonor Lords are alive and still ruling the Ramonor Territory, the Gurs will still maintain all their original policies. But when the lord is a hundred years later, I will destroy the Ramonor Territory with a thunderbolt, you should know why, I can allow some self-righteous idiots to exist under your leadership, but I will not let such idiots sit in high positions, it will be very troublesome! And I hate all the troubles! ”

Tang Dou's words were full of coldness, like the coldest wind in the desert night, dry and hard, bitter cold!

Ramonno was in a cold sweat, and looked at Crow pitifully, hoping that Crow could help him talk.

Crow understood what Tang Dou meant, and also remembered what Erniang said to him before, and sighed: "Lord Ramonno, this is actually what Erniang meant!" ”

Ramonno froze: "What? ”

"When I came, Erniang asked me to bring a message to the teacher, hoping that the teacher would give Ramonno a chance. Because she knows very well what kind of person her brother is, once there is no suppression from Lord Ramono, what kind of things Mali will do can be thought of. Lord Ramono, you can continue to hide it from your son now, but when you are a hundred years from now, what do you think will happen to him? Neither I, nor my teacher, nor my father, would allow a betrayer! ”

Crowe always knew that his second mother was a smart woman. A wise woman. But only now did she truly appreciate the wisdom of her second mother.

When Daisy asked her to talk before, she thought that Erniang was worried that Tang Dou would take advantage of the opportunity to support Ramono's territory to annex the entire territory, but now she understands that Erniang has long seen that her brother is a guy whose heart is higher than heaven and his fate is thinner than paper. Once there is no Ramono's suppression, he will stand up against Gus as soon as possible.

So the Gus Congress turned a blind eye? Will you laugh it off?

This is obviously impossible.

Then when that day comes, Ramonor will have no one but destruction.

When that day comes, how should Daisy deal with herself?

Daisy's real purpose in asking Crow to pass the word was not to intercede, but to tell Tang Dou her attitude.

Very simple!

If Mali insists on going his own way, then he will only be a victim.

On one side is a pit daddy, on the other side is the father, the clansmen, and the tens of thousands of people in the entire territory, how to choose?

Daisy has her own answer.

Of course, she is not cold-blooded, she told Tang Dou these words at this time, in fact, to let Tang Dou have a preparation. In her opinion, with Tang Dou's ability, if he knew these things in advance, then he would definitely have a way to suppress Mali to the point that he would never be able to get out of that step.

And Tang Dou chose to break it at this time, which was actually in response to Daisy's request.

It was only at this moment that Crowe figured out all aspects of the matter, and suddenly felt that characters like his second mother and teacher might not be able to figure it out for the rest of his life - it's terrible, how long are the twists and turns in these people's hearts?

"But, but......" Ramonno tried to say something, but could not say a word.

He had nothing to say, because it was.

It can only be said that there is a son of a pit father, and he has a really hard time.

Tang Dou waved his hand: "Lord Ramonno, you can rest assured. No matter what Mali will do, it will have no effect on you, for the Mother of Dais, on Prince Albert, and even on everyone in the entire Ramonor Territory as long as everything is appropriate. But everything has to be manageable, so I have two options! ”

He smiled and took out a bottle from his arms: "First, execute Mali now, or abolish the cultivation and imprison him for life." The second is that you eat this! ”

Ramonno almost jumped when he heard Tang Dou's first choice.

Mali is also his only son, and if he dies too, then he ...... That yourself......

Before he could think about what he would do if Mali died, Tang Dou's second choice made him stunned.

"What is this?" Ramonor looked at the bottle in Tang Dou's hand suspiciously.

"This is an experimental elixir that can be given to anyone below the platinum level. The effect is to increase it by a large level. Judging from Lord Ramono's level of your Gold Level 9, after taking it, you can become a Platinum Level 9 existence within nine days, so your lifespan should be increased by about a hundred years. If you combine it with some of my recuperation medicines, the lord can live for another two hundred years. After all this time, the lord must have been able to think of what to do with Mali, right? Tang Dou's smile was like the snake that seduced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

Ramonno almost instinctively thought that Tang Dou was fooling him, but the other party's smile, and what was under that smile, made him have to choose to believe the other party - more importantly, what he felt under all this was a kind of coldness.

A kind of coldness that can only survive if you follow orders.

"Of course, I also have to remind Lord Ramono, the success rate of this medicine is only eighty percent, although it is already very high, but after all, there are accidents, isn't it?" Tang Dou only stood up at this time, took two steps forward to help Ramonno up, spread his palms, and put the medicine bottle in front of the other party's eyes.

Take? Or don't take it?

Does Ramonno have a choice?

"Lord Ramonno, this medicine, many people in the Gusi Kingdom have already taken it, and there is no case of failure yet!" Crow couldn't bear it and added on the side.

Ramonno took the medicine.

Tang Dou smiled and put on his cloak again, pretending to be Crow's entourage and leaving with Crow.

When he went to the resting place, Crow asked, "Teacher, why is it so direct this time?" ”

Tang Dou looked at Crow and smiled, this kind of smile is not like the kind of smile that hides coldness from outsiders, but a kind of heartfelt concern and guidance: "Remember one sentence, political dialogue can always choose the best option, if this optimal option requires you to be cold-blooded, then you need to be cold-blooded, you need to compromise, then you have to compromise, you need to raise the butcher's knife, you must also raise the butcher's knife." Politics is ruthless, only interests. If you want to become the queen of the kingdom of Gus, you have to learn this! ”

"Remember, people's hearts are unpredictable, and any one act of compassion in politics can lead to worse consequences, and don't let your feelings affect your political judgment until you don't have absolute strength to control everything! In politics, many times ruthlessness is the real affection! Do you understand? ”

Crow blinked, and finally bowed his head to Tang Dou: "Understood, teacher!" (To be continued.) )
