In a blink of an eye, the time has come, and in the middle of the Kaido calendar, it has been three months since Karen's undead market opened.
Although only three months have passed, the development of Karen's undead market is indeed very amazing.
In just three months, the resident population of the undead market has increased to tens of thousands, and the daily trading volume of the market has also increased from the original 100 gold to 1,000 gold, which is a terrifying speed of development.
What's even more terrifying is that in the past two months, the Silver Hand and many cities in the Bourbon Kingdom have begun to plant large-scale [Whispers of the Dead].
It can be said that Karen, an emerging market, has begun to have a certain influence on the surrounding two kingdoms.
Of course, as Karen's strength continues to improve, her influence on the surrounding area continues to expand.
Some people who had a wait-and-see attitude when the undead market opened were a little unable to sit still at this time.
The Silver Hand Council was in the open for two months in Karen's Undead Market, and for the first time, the Silver Hand House put Karen and his Undead Market in the council for discussion.
In fact, this kind of oligarchic council of the Silver Hand really takes Karen and his undead market out to talk about, so there is basically no need to discuss anything.
What to do? What to do? The oligarchs who control the parliament already have a plan in their hearts, and they just want to inform the people in the lower house that they are going to act.
Sure enough, after the House of Lords brought it up and talked about how to deal with Karen and the market under his command, several oligarchs directly said, 'What am I going to do, which of you is for and who is against?' ’
The cruel lessons of the past taught the people of the House of Commons that the end of opposition was very miserable, so they did not dare to have any objections, so the matter about Karen quickly came to fruition.
For Karen and the market under his command, the advice of the House of Lords is to subdue as much as possible, and it is best to be able to hold Karen and the market under his command in his hands, but if it really can't be done, at least take a stake in Karen's market.
Generally speaking, their attitude towards this matter is not too tough.
Of course, the main thing is not that they are afraid of Karen, but because they have waited ten years to have such a window, and they don't want to accidentally close this window again.
While the Silver Hand was preparing to officially contact Karen, on the other side, on Karen's territory, two people had already entered Karen's territory first.
Both of these are old acquaintances of Karen, one is Old Jack and the other is the Masked Woman.
Old Jack came to Karen's territory very often, and he came over a lot during this time, especially as Karen's market continued to grow, and he came more often.
But the masked woman had seen her for the first time since she left a few months ago.
And when she saw the masked woman again, Karen couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Because Karen discovers that her Eye of Insight is actually ineffective against the masked woman, which surprises Karen very much.
There are only two situations that can make Karen's Eye of Insight invalid, and the one that Karen sees the most is that her strength exceeds the upper limit of [Eye of Insight].
At present, Karen's [Eye of Insight] is level four, if this is the case, then the strength of the masked woman is at least the fifth order, and it seems a little too incredible to soar from the second order to the fifth order in just a few months.
So compared to this, Karen is more inclined to see if the masked woman has some means to shield the [Eye of Insight], but the masked woman and old Jack did not give Karen time to study.
"During this time, we need to pick up the mud fu." Old Jack came up and explained his intentions directly.
"Oh, then, take the people away!"
Hearing Karen's answer, Old Jack and the masked woman were a little confused, isn't this how the script is written? Shouldn't Karen have asked at this time? Without saying a word, just let them take people away, what's going on?
The two of them had obviously come for some other purpose today, and it was impossible for Karen to turn around and leave as soon as they agreed.
Seeing that Karen didn't answer, they simply took the conversation themselves.
"Because in a few days, there is a person who is coming, this person is called Clayin, the current marshal of the Bourbon Kingdom, who controls the five-layer army of the Bourbon Kingdom, and is also the man who killed Grandpa Mufu!"
This sentence is a bit informative, but Karen seems to be able to accept it all, whether it is what they said, or what they want to talk about when they suddenly open their mouths to confess this topic at this time, Karen has already expected it in her heart.
So when Karen heard this, the expression on her face still didn't change much.
This made Old Jack and the masked woman a little anxious, they originally thought that with Karen's love for Mufu, it should not be difficult to pull Karen into their camp, but they didn't expect that the real showdown was Karen's attitude.
If that's the case, it won't be so easy for them to achieve their goals next, but the two of them didn't give up either.
"Actually, Mufu's grandfather was the last marshal of the Bourbon Kingdom, Tien, and in addition to that, he also had an identity, that is, the leader of the kingdom's reformers.
He knew very well that the Kingdom of Bourbon had decayed to the point where it was necessary to reform, and in order to revitalize the Kingdom of Bourbon, he opened the Silver Hand to trade with the Kingdom of Bourbon.
It is hoped that through the power of trade, the kingdom will be increased and the kingdom will be changed.
Marshal Tien's plan was originally carried out very smoothly, and under his leadership, the kingdom's national strength was doubled in just one year, but unfortunately, when the marshal's reform entered a critical period, the interests of some people were touched.
Then, the marshal's reforms were hindered by various forces in the kingdom, he himself was assassinated many times, and even the trading channels he had worked so hard to open were shut down, and the Silver Hand sent troops to the Bourbon kingdom in anger because of the trade channels, which made the marshal's situation even more difficult.
But none of this can defeat the marshal, even in the face of such a sinister environment, the marshal is still persevering.
While resisting the invasion of the Silver Hand, while playing with the forces within the Bourbon Kingdom, it seemed that he was about to see the dawn of victory, but Créin, who was an ally of the marshal's reform at that time, betrayed the marshal at a critical moment.
In the end, the marshal died, and Créin, as a betrayer, took the position of marshal and became the leader of the most determined and corrupt Conservative Party in the kingdom! ”
Old Jack was completely confessed to Karen at this time, and after telling everything, Old Jack stared at Karen with a pair of eyes, expecting to see on his face that he wanted to see a change in mood, but he was disappointed.
After listening to this, Karen looked at Old Jack and muttered for a while: "I remember we met when I just took the Goblin Forest, you said that I had changed, and my speech had become a little twisted and twisted, can I use this on you now?"
But I can also understand why you made such a big detour, and even told the story of the mud fu.
When you pick up the life history of the mud fu and open your mouth, in fact, you should also understand in your heart that it is almost impossible to achieve your goal. ”
"Looks like you already know what I'm talking about today!" Old Jack's eyes narrowed.
Now that the words have been spoken, Karen did not hide the meaning of tucking at this time: "Don't forget what kind of place this is, this is the market of the dead, and in this market there are merchants from the two countries of the Silver Hand and the Kingdom of Bourbon.
These businessmen have more than just money, but also information and intelligence.
If I'm curious, I'll be able to get the information I want with a little effort.
It just so happens that I'm quite interested in the trade channel opened by the Bourbon Kingdom and the Silver Hand before, so I know a little bit about this aspect, and I also know your identity......"
"Now that you already know something, if I say it now, I represent the power behind me and you ......"
"I'm willing to cooperate in trade, but I can only say I'm sorry for cooperation outside of trade!
I only want to develop the [Dead Market], I will never interfere with the rest, and I can't, after all, I'm just a little necromancer! ”
From the very beginning, from the time Old Jack arrived, Karen already knew what they were for.
They want to draw Karen into their camp and help them continue to push forward with the reform of the Kingdom of Bourbon.
But there's no way Karen agrees to it!
For Karen now, nothing is more important than stable development!
So in the end, Karen firmly rejected Old Jack's masked woman.
In this regard, although the two of them were a little regretful, they did not force it too much.
After all, as Karen said, from the beginning when they played the emotional card of mud fu, they knew very well in their hearts that Karen would not agree.
So this time, although there was no negotiation, the two sides did not have any problems because of this, at least on the surface......
