Chapter 326: Making a Deal with the Devil
Luo Zhengdao, who was smiling brightly, was not as calm and calm as he tried to express, and a heavy choice that he had considered before was suddenly placed in front of him, even though the traverser had always thought that there was nothing in the world that could scare him, he couldn't help but be a little confused at this time.
Since it is impossible to make a quick decision, delaying time is an appropriate way to deal with it, so Luo Zhengdao chose the delaying tactic that is least likely to make mistakes.
"Hehehehe, according to the time of the main material realm, I will come back in three months, I hope that His Highness can give a clear answer at that time."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was mixed with joy, nodded and said:
"Time is indeed a little tight, and I will try my best to accommodate your request."
A lie can blind someone for a lifetime, or it can blind everyone for a while, but no lie can blind everyone forever. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it, a lie can't be true after all, and time can witness it.
After bidding farewell to this visitor from hell, Luo Zhengdao gradually calmed down from the initial surprise and even confusion, in fact, he could vaguely perceive that this news sounded absurd, but it didn't seem like a lie. He could see the future, and he didn't have to think much to come up with a bunch of ways to delay the time and not sign that contract. Assuming that there is no conclusive evidence of the fall of the main continent after a year or two, it is estimated that Asmodeis will have to bear the glorious title of the greatest liar of all time, which is obviously not a funny joke, the devil belongs to the camp of order, and it is not in their nature to tell nonsense with their eyes open.
After hesitating for a long time and finally making up his mind, Luo Zhengdao beckoned his subordinates and said:
"Come on, send scouts to the main continent, the focus of this investigation is on the underground space ......"
The system of underground caverns beneath the surface world of the main continent is vast, and in terms of complexity, it is no worse than the dark seas where the drow elves are entrenched, and there are so many alien tribes living underground that no one can ever figure out what the situation is. Due to the influence of the harsh living environment of the underground world, these tribes are all fierce and warlike masters, and they like to pull the team out to open a film when they have nothing to do, either cutting people or being cut by people, and the word order is more difficult to understand for the residents of these underground worlds than the wordless heavenly book. If it weren't for the fact that Luo Zhengdao thought that transporting troops and transferring materials through the underground space could circumvent the strict blockade of the Goblin Forbidden Sea, and spent a lot of effort to manage the relationship, he was afraid that it would be easy to send a few scouts down at will, and whether he could come back alive would be unknown
“…… Is the content of this report reliable? ”
Luo Zhengdao, who raised a questioning voice, frowned, and at the same time quickly flipped through the sloppy and incoherent report in his hand, and he had to give a bad evaluation of the cause of adult literacy that he had been working on in recent years. The courage of these scouts is certainly very commendable, but it is a pity that their cultural standards are so bad that they are not even comparable to the elementary school students in the old world, and there is quite a black humor atmosphere in the pen: "I went out today and met a piece of, and I ate a pound". Fortunately, although the content of this report is extremely badly written, it finally explains what you have seen and heard clearly, and there have indeed been some extraordinary changes in the underground world of the main continent recently.
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's inquiry, Zola Hegel patted his chest and said:
"This is a compilation of the reports of two groups of scouts, and there is absolutely no doubt about the accuracy."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but take a deep breath, he leaned back on the back of the chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with a tired expression, and said:
"Alright! Go down! ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Vina Dubov, who stayed next to her and was silent, brought a cup of fruit tea to Luo Zhengdao and said:
"Will, is there something wrong with being in such a hurry to access the report?"
Luo Zhengdao, who was slightly absent-minded, waved his hand, and continued to look down at the report without saying a word, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and explained:
"Oh, it's complicated, I'll find time to tell you!"
“…… Can't you say it now? ”
Hearing Vina Dubov's slightly complaining sigh, Luo Zhengdao finally raised his head and looked at the other party, although he was not the kind of little man who was afraid of his wife like a tiger, but in the eyes of the traverser who was used to monogamy, Vena had been forced to share her husband with several women, and what was even worse was that she was also pressed in name. Although there was a reason for the incident, he couldn't handle it properly after careful calculation, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.
Seeing that the half-elf beauty showed a weak look of not being trusted, Luo Zhengdao couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and sighed and said:
"Alas, I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried, and since you want to know, it's okay to say it."
Listening to Luo Zhengdao's brief and concise explanation of the situation, Vina Dubov is not the kind of vase beauty with a beautiful face, how can she not know what is powerful, covered her red lips and exclaimed:
"The main continent has fallen? Could this happen too? ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who looked helpless, patted the investigation report on the desk, which was more than 100 pages thick, and said:
"Well, I can already see the signs, it shouldn't be a rumor."
Similar to the world's major events or something, frankly Vina Dubov doesn't care much, what she cares about is her husband, especially dealing with the devils, what if she accidentally gets caught? So, she thought for a while and said slowly:
"Will, are you going to sign that contract?"
"Well, I'm thinking about it, neither the devil nor the devil is to be messed with, and the bloody battle is a quagmire, and it will be unlucky to step into it. The fall of the main continent can't get around those gods, alas! The situation is too chaotic! ”
Loudly lamenting the bad luck and venting his feelings, Luo Zhengdao, who calmed down, turned his energy to business again and continued to study the report in his hand. No, it would take a lot of imagination and patience on the part of the reader to accurately reproduce what the Scouts saw with their own eyes from the many grammatical and misspelling errors in the description.
The half-elf beauty's thinking about things was obviously not on the same line as Luo Zhengdao, and at this time she was happy and said:
"If the fall of the main continent is real, we don't have to worry about dealing with goblins."
The corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and Luo Zhengdao, who couldn't laugh, was not so optimistic, shook his head and said:
"Goblins are not fools, they will escape before the fall of the main continent, let's not talk about these things. Vena, didn't you call the doctor yesterday for a check-up? The result? ”
Vina Dubov looked at Luo Zhengdao, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she whispered:
“…… I'm pregnant. ”
"Pregnant? Are you sure? ”
During this period of time, countless bad news continued to test Luo Zhengdao's ability to bear the bottom, and the half-elf beauty told him that it was rare good news, and after a burst of joy, Luo Zhengdao's mood regained his calmness, and he began to worry.
Since sitting in this position, it would be too luxurious to have the same freedom of joy, anger and sorrow as ordinary people. In the old world, some people sarcastically said that the so-called big man was a poor worm who had to mingle with a group of enemies who were eager to stab each other, and said sweet words and had infinite poisonous plans brewing in their hearts. In the final analysis, there is only one sentence, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, people can only grasp themselves stronger than the shape shì, once the shape shì is stronger than the person, then the sincerity can only go with the flow.
At this time, Luo Zhengdao looked at the half-elf beauty, took her slender jade hand, and said:
"For your safety, return to Wake Reef at once tomorrow, unless I pick you up myself, until the baby is born...... No, you can't get out of there at any time, you know? ”
The news of the possible fall of the main continent cannot be concealed from the ears and eyes of the powers, and the hell as the person concerned is aware of it, and the gods of the new world are not puppets of the clay fetus, they reveal their will to the secular rulers through the temple, and many things will change subtly.
In the unpredictable future, the first to bear the brunt of the impact is the international political situation, and for many years the Goblin Second Empire has always played a positive role in challenging the current international order, and the abundant natural resources and abundant wealth provided by the conquered main continent are the greatest capital for their rise. Assuming that the overthrow of the main continent is an irreversible and inevitable trend, it is impossible for the goblins to have the strength to challenge the great powers, and what kind of face the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation, which originally supported the human restoration movement, will be at that time, Luo Zhengdao can imagine with his ass.
The once warm greeting will be replaced by a cold pair of eyebrows, if the goblin no longer becomes a real threat, the generation that has lost its value. Dealing with people will become a nuisance and a burden to the financiers. Here you might as well paraphrase the idiom of the old world, the day when the birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked, it is estimated that it will not be far off.
Luo Zhengdao is not afraid of changes in the environment, he has not enjoyed a few days of comfortable and quiet days since the crossing, giving up fighting and hard work is tantamount to suicide, growing up in such adversity, the traverser is not a greenhouse flower that cannot withstand the wind and rain. The point is that this change came too suddenly, and the trouble it brought him was far from being comparable to the small problems in the past, and how to deal with the change was quite a lot of work.
After listening to Luo Zhengdao's statement, Vina Dubov's face changed slightly, the half-elf beauty is not a stupid woman who has no knowledge, and as soon as she hears her husband's strict attitude, she understands that this is a preventive protection measure. If some people do not want to see this child born, there are so many ways to detriment in various abortions, and after a moment of silence, she said with a gloomy expression:
"Will, are you worried about Yaling and the elves?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao's smile revealed a little teasing, and said lightly:
"I can't say I'm worried, I don't dare to trust anyone with all my heart but myself."
“…… Including me? ”
Luo Zhengdao's eyes revealed a hint of a smile, he looked up at the half-elf beauty, reached out to caress her cheek, and said slowly:
"Yes, everyone has their own position and principles, and no two people can be completely identical. Vina, maybe you won't betray me for profit, but if someone threatens you with a child, who will you choose? Me, your husband, or this unborn child? ”
Hearing this, Vina Dubov shuddered, and could not help but lament:
"Will, you're too cold!"
Luo Zhengdao, who warmly stroked the cheeks of the half-elf beauty, said with a coldness that made people feel a chill to the bone, and said:
"No, it's not cold, I'm revealing to you the nature of this cruel world, it has never changed the rules of operation, only we have been changed by it."
