Chapter 407: A Cocktail Party with Clash of Words
"It is said that the magicians once established a sacred place to store all knowledge, known as the Eternal Great Library, have you heard of His Majesty the King?"
The elf holding the crystal cup is large. The mage's seemingly understated question, to Luo Zhengdao's ears, sounded like a thunderclap in his ears, no one had recited this sensitive word to him for many years, and today he finally met the master who eats raw rice again. After settling down first, Luo Zhengdao said with a smile:
"Yes, a place of fantasy in legends."
In the short conversation that seemed to be careless, but was actually secretly witty, Luo Zhengdao had already roughly figured out the elf great. The mage wants something. For a legal professional, the eternal library of endless knowledge, as allure as a bank vault is to a miser, and a three-page girl is to a pervert, is the ultimate dream that can drive them crazy to the point of paying any price.
There was a slight incomprehensible charm in his smile, and Luo Zhengdao said in a low voice:
"Are you thirsty for knowledge? Lord Steve? ”
"Of course, the insatiable thirst for knowledge is the glory of being an arcaneist, and a mage who does not seek knowledge is just a walking corpse."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed more and more heartily, and said approvingly:
"Hahahaha, I believe that hearing you say that, those guys from the Hermitage Society will definitely be angry."
didn't expect the other party to be so ridiculous, the corners of Steve Charr's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile:
"Hehehehe, it's a metaphor, it's not funny if it's too serious."
Luo Zhengdao restrained his smile and said:
"Excuse me, Master, what kind of knowledge do you have a particular preference for?"
"Legal, of course."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded sympathetically, in the high-end power duel, the law is all scum. Those legal professionals who don't know how to use the law are only worthy of being called waste wood, basically like an artillery soldier who picks up a bullet stick and fights with people, all of them are bear children who have clicked on the wrong talent tree.
"That's it! Too high-end knowledge is not easy to obtain. ”
"Knowledge is priceless, isn't it too cheap to be easy to obtain?"
When discussing sensitive topics in public, I have to keep things secret, but fortunately, both parties are understanding people, and it's okay to play dumb riddles. Luo Zhengdao tested his tone for a moment, and then he laughed and said:
"Hahahaha, you're so funny, we can make an appointment to talk alone."
"Of course, I am very honored to have this opportunity to have an academic exchange with His Majesty the King."
The materials of the Eternal Library are as vast as a sea of smoke, and just smoking two copies and throwing them to Steve Charles is enough for him to gnaw on for a few years, Luo Zhengdao values the other party's influence in the Elven Federation more, and many things are easier to get through by personal relationships.
Similar to this kind of secret transaction, it is expected that everyone will take what they need, and what makes Luo Zhengdao happy is that Steve Shire is on the line within the Elven Federation, and there are many things that will be much easier to do in the future.
The great powers are not so easy to penetrate, although the human race can enjoy the treatment of second-class citizens in the Elven Federation, but the transparent ceiling still exists, and the position reaches a certain level, and it can no longer be raised without a special reason. If you want to understand the decision-making secrets of the Elven Federation, there is no hope for human intelligence personnel alone, and those people sent by Luo Zhengdao can only collect public information on the market to obtain intelligence indirectly, and it is inevitable that they will lag behind in terms of time.
Don't look at the elves big. The mage's temper is bad and his eyes are above the top, but his brand is definitely not small in the Elven Federation, and there are a large number of students and fellow disciples, and he is the one who matches them, and many things that were originally difficult are smoothed out at once.
What is the intention of the human kingdom represented by Will Needham to himself? The mage knows what he knows, and he doesn't mind providing convenience to the other party in exchange for benefits. There is no doubt that Steve Shire's behavior of digging into the corner of the Elven Federation is a traitor, but big. The mage didn't take it to heart. said that no one knew the inside story, even if the content of this transaction was circulated, and even caused a stir in the public, who would dare to accuse him? It's really big. Is the mage a soft persimmon? You must know that engaging in activities such as betraying the country also requires strong capital, and only the big guys have the qualifications to make a deal, and those fart people at the bottom have to sigh that they have no way to even sell the country!
"The demon has moved?"
Hearing the urgent news from the front line, Luo Zhengdao, who was reviewing the text at the desk, put down the dipping pen, and the attendant continued:
"Yes, His Majesty. Our spearheads report that mass build-ups have been detected in multiple locations, and that the Devil's army is no longer able to withstand it, and that they are organizing to shrink their lines. ”
It is said that it is not difficult to write a novel that can be called a masterpiece as long as you grasp this point, but that is the position of a literary critic. If you are in the middle of it, you can be sure that no one likes to be swept up by the tide of the times and feel that they can't help themselves, just as people will shout out for the great devotees but no one will have the idea of imitating them, and topics that are too sublime and great, or too realistic and cruel, can be daunting.
“…… Alas, I really can't be idle for a moment! ”
While sighing for his hard work, Luo Zhengdao still had to face the reality, and he said in a flat tone:
"Inform the chamber, gather high-level people, and have a meeting!"
The larger the size of an organization, the more and more cumbersome the number of rules and tacit rules will be, and the freedom and efficiency of work will decline rapidly. When everyone gets used to the practice of cleaning up the snow in front of their own door and not asking others about the frost, these large and bloated institutions will eventually reduce the efficiency of daily affairs management to a point where people can not bear it, but in addition to this clumsy way of headache and headache, it seems that there is no better way to solve the old problem of organization and management.
As soon as the people arrived, Zola Hegel, the militant, could not help but get up and say:
"Your Majesty, are you going to war with the demons? Our marines and army tanks have not yet been reloaded! ”
When it comes to individual combat power, human soldiers are not comparable to demons, and they are almost the same as professionals. In order to defeat the demon army on the frontal battlefield, humans can only rely on heavy equipment such as tanks, artillery, and warships to close the overall combat power gap between the two sides.
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao also nodded in agreement, and then he turned to Commander Scarlet Yan and said:
"Brando, how are you going to talk about the combat readiness?"
Dressed in a handsome white navy gown with shiny medals on his chest, the wanderer got up and said:
"Yes, His Majesty. Our Marine Corps is already armed with two armored divisions with a total of two hundred and twenty steam tanks, and the Army currently has three armored divisions and one tank brigade with a total of more than three hundred and fifty tanks. ”
"Well, that's a lot."
Although Kofi Ingres, who was an archon, did not belong to the military, he could not hold back at this time, and interjected halfway:
“…… However, most of the training subjects of the army units have not been completed, and those rookies can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and the real combat power is still the two divisions of the Marine Corps. ”
Industrialization is a difficult road full of thorns and mud, every step in the trek is not easy, if you can grit your teeth and walk through, everything will be fine, if you can't go through, then everything will be over.
To say that Luo Zhengdao has been counting from the beginning of taking root in the construction of Wake Reef, he has put all his hopes for future development on the industrialization route, which is absolutely correct in the old world, and can only be said to be relatively correct in the new world. Thinking of those legendary mages, demigod powerhouses or something, Luo Zhengdao felt a lot of pain, but he couldn't help it! Starting from scratch can only take the fastest road to the goal, cultivate a group of strong people from scratch, and even lower the requirements to train professionals, it must take a long time, which is an unrealistic fantasy and luxury for Luo Zhengdao, and he can only grasp the life-saving straw of industrialization, which is expected to be a quick success.
Fortunately, the weapons made in the factory can't deal with those strong people who are out of specification, and it is not a big problem to clean up the enemy troops that appear on the battlefield, the combat power of the demon army is strong, and the mechanized corps of humans is not vegetarian after all, and this battle is still to be fought.
The threat of the Aragami curse has never been far away from Luo Zhengdao, even if he is sitting upright in the conference room at this moment, he can faintly feel bursts of tingling and itching on his body from time to time. This is the sequelae of the last curse, how long can his semi-legal body survive before collapsing, this question can't even be answered by Luo Zhengdao.
"Your Majesty the King, it's okay to send troops to the main continent, the threat of the Yogyakarta Kingdom and the Waste Giants has not been lifted, they are attacking Qiongzhou or Wake Reef, what should we do when the time comes?"
"Yes! Oh, yes! Your Majesty, you have to think about it, we are in a very dangerous situation. ”
There was a lot of opposition in the venue, not opposition for the sake of opposition, everyone said it had their own reasons. At this moment, Luo Zhengdao hesitated for a moment, and he turned to the boatswain and said:
"Zola, what do you think should be done?"
Instead of answering this question head-on, Zola Hegel put it more tactfully:
"It's a long way to go from the Sea of Storms to the Sea of Stars, and if the giants are ready to act in conjunction with the Waste Giants and Drow, and need to be effectively integrated, I don't think they will attack anytime soon."
As a veteran pirate, the boatswain knew all too well how terrifying a long voyage could be for unfamiliar passengers, and to be able to walk on his own legs after disembarking after a bumpy voyage was a great cow. Even if the giant's physique is much stronger than that of humans, after all, it is still a mortal body, and it will also be plagued by negative states such as injuries and illnesses, and it will be hidden in the cramped and cramped cabin for a long time, lacking the necessary space to move, and eating and drinking will be restricted, even if there is nothing wrong with it, it will have to hold back some problems.
Although this truth is not complicated, but in the face of huge survival pressure, it is a luxury to keep a calm mind and clear thinking, if you don't believe it, ask someone to put a bright steel knife on your neck, and experience the danger of the cold, it is estimated that even Xiao Jiujiu can be wrong.
