"Since it's all about this!" Arni seemed to have made up her mind. They are all smart people, there is no point in going around the bend, none of us can deceive anyone, or to be blunt, save trouble. β
"Okay" I clapped my hands, "Since you said so, we can't go around in circles with you anymore." We know the situation on both sides, and I know your purpose. β
"Then President Ziri will talk about the current situation, and I can make sure that there is nothing missing."
This Arni, to put it bluntly, is still playing ghost there, but I don't want to worry about this kind of little thing. "The situation couldn't be more obvious. The Dark Temple, the Temple of Light, the Chinese Heavenly Court, and the Chinese Demon Realm, the four major forces each control a part of China's power, and they also intersect with each other. Among them, the Heavenly Court is hostile to the monsters, and you are hostile to the Temple of Light. I don't deny that the forces of your Quartet are very strong, at least it won't be a problem to destroy me, but my identity is very delicate. The fact that the Quartet and I are friendly and that you are hostile to each other means that either of you lacks a detached attitude, and that is my strength. No matter which of you wins, I won't be affected, so I'm detached. These conditions determine that I will inevitably become your intermediary, and without me, no one in the four sides will have a hard time. What's more important is that the relationship between Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm and me is dead, so this system is half completed, if you want to join, you have to play according to my rules, if you don't join, it is equivalent to offending Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm and all the intermediate forces at the same time. I looked at Arni's complicated expression and said, "That's the case, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?" β
Arni nodded: "Accurate. With this in mind, how do you plan to plan your actions in the future? β
I smiled and patted Rose on the waist, and Rose immediately began, "Actually, it's very simple. The identity of the intermediary requires the integrity of our fair position system, but everyone is playing power, so I'll put it bluntly. There is no such thing as perfection, and there will never be a perfect balance. Self-interest is the common desire of all people, and the key depends on whether you are harming the interests of others while being self-interested. Although we have to maintain a balance, the Dark Temple and we are also old friends, through various channels. Our relationship is probably the closest of the Quartet. β
The expression on Arni's face was much better when he heard this. "In that case, are you going to tilt towards us?"
"Tilt is inevitable, but only if it doesn't affect the balance. In the early stage, everyone's contradictions are not very intense, there will not be too many frontal conflicts, I can only remain free, everyone's tasks are accepted, if this task hurts the interests of a third party, we will appropriately control the loss. We try to keep him as low as possible in terms of the loss of the Dark Temple, and that's the highest guarantee our guild can make, if Goddess Arni wants to claim further benefits. We won't mind. But please beat the other three parties in the first place. If you can't do it, then don't say anything. β
The current situation is like a tug-of-war of four people, and the rope of the tug-of-war is cross-shaped, and either side pulling the center point towards itself will inevitably push the other three parties together, so unless one side is strong enough to bring the other three parties to go, don't expect to control the situation, the real skill of this kind of game is to fight endurance rather than fight with all your strength as soon as you come up, and only by dragging the other three parties down can you have a chance.
Arni thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. But I still have requirements. β
"Requirements? |I'm surprised, I said that I understand so much, how can she still have requirements! "Let's hear it first."
"You will rebuild Isengard,"
"Rebuild Isinger?" How can this request be so strange! "Isn't Issinger already rebuilt? What else to rebuild? β
"Didn't I say it at the beginning? Your current Issinger is not the same thing as the real Isengard, and our Dark Temple needs the original Isenger to fill in the missing parts of the circle. β
"Can't you rebuild yourselves? Big deal, I'm moving this Issinger somewhere else. β
"It's not just about location." Arni said: "Although your location is necessary, the name and status of the city are also necessary. The name can be changed, but the status can't be changed! You have the background of the magic capital of Isengard, even if we rebuild a city called Isenger and put it in its original place, it will only be a city called Isengard, it will never become the magic capital. β
"And you mean you want us to rebuild an Isengard?" Rose asked.
Arni nodded, "I know it's a waste for you to ask you to rebuild two cities in the same location, but we really need to have such an Isengar erected in its original location. β
Eagle couldn't help but say, "You need it, but we don't!" Restore the original Isinger, we won't talk about the cost, what should I do with this Isinger now? Change your name? That's a loss of city level, and we finally got to the strategic fortress, and it's not so easy to get back such a troublesome position. β
"But ......!" Arni wanted to explain.
"It's not impossible for us to rebuild." I suddenly came out with such a sentence and confused everyone around me, except for Rose, Su Mei, and Xiao Yao, everyone else looked at me in a daze.
"You agree to rebuild?" Arni asked in surprise.
I reached out first to stop him from being happy. "Don't be happy first, there are conditions for rebuilding."
"You don't have to worry about that." Al Ni said briskly: "We will take care of all the building materials, and we will be responsible for transporting them in place, so you can just build them." In terms of labor costs, we bear half of the labor costs, after all, you are a city in vain, and only half of the labor costs are not even used for building materials. That's not excessive, is it? β
"It's not just about materials and money." I shook my head and said: "First of all, you have to find a way to transfer the attributes of the city, under the registered name of Isinger, our level is already very high, we can't turn this level into zero for you, and this kind of thing is not so easy to accumulate, once it is zero, it will be a question whether it can be replenished again." Another issue is the issue of special architecture. We can't get the magic equipment of the Gathering Spirit Tower, and you have to be responsible for sending people to help restore the Gathering Spirit Pagoda and all kinds of magic circles. β
Arni seemed to have been prepared, and without thinking about it, he said: "The city level is easy to manage, and now this Issinger doesn't need to change his name at all." β
"Oh? Is there such a good way? Let's hear it. β
"It's actually very simple, you move this Issinger to the correct position of the original Isengard. Then raise the city. Then rebuild Issinger under it, and when you build it, you apply to expand the city, don't open a new city, so that the restored Issinger below becomes the real Issinger. Serving these two seemingly completely independent cities has become a common city, the one that does not move on the ground is called the old town of Eisinger, and this one that can fly is the new district of Esinger, how about it? Is this possible? β
"Is this okay? Will the Star of Genesis allow the construction of such a responsible urban structure? β
"Absolutely." Arni pulled out a small black crystal ball. "This spatial crystal holds a whole set of drawings, and there is originally a type of city in China, but it is more exaggerated than the plan I said. This crystal Ridi drawing is the original blueprint of that city. At that time, a lot of people wanted this thing, but I didn't give it. If you agree to rebuild Isengard. I'll give you this as a reward. As for the problem you said about the Earth Gathering Spirit Tower, we will naturally send someone to help, you don't have to worry about these things. β
Rose suddenly interjected: "It can be built, but on the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of your magic circle, other designs have to be decided by us, and." You can't just pay for your labor. There is no shortage of money on our side. It's just that there are not enough people. β
"Not enough people?" Arni was also curious about our needs.
Rose explained: "Our guild has just recently taken down Indonesia, and although most of the cities have been sold to guilds in other places, we have also left a few big cities of our own, and now the construction workers are there, and there is really no one to build here." And as you know, Isengh is not a small fish village, it is bigger than ten cities in one city, and it also has a lower city, which is not something we can afford. If you don't go out to work, then don't be impatient if we do it for ten or eight years. "Rose is ** naked blackmail, but it's really right to use this trick now.
As soon as Arni heard that it would take ten or eight years to repair, he was immediately anxious. "Wouldn't it be okay for me to bring in all the labor and troops of the Dark Temple to help?"
How many of you are there? β
"2 million regular laborers, 80,000 technicians, 5 million troops." Arni said: "I can only go out so much, and I still need people elsewhere!" I can't take them all away, can I? β
"Enough is enough." I laughed and said, "That's enough." "The speed of building things in the game itself is fast, and with so many laborers, it is estimated that it will take less than 10 days to complete. Aren't we going to assemble this Issinger in three days?
Arni asked, "With so many laborers, how long will it take you to do so?" β
I thought for a moment and said, "After the supplies and personnel are in place, it will be as little as 10 days and as much as a month. β
Arni nodded: "Well, this progress is almost there. She handed me the crystal ball and said, "Tomorrow I will send out the materials and personnel, and I will be able to come to you the day after tomorrow, I hope you can do your best." β
"Don't worry. Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, ahhh...... If you say it wrong, you do what you say! β
Eagle smiled at me in a private chat: "Haha! Occupational habits brought out, right? β
"Go, I'm not a bandit for the guild to develop."
"Now that the matter is finalized, then I'll go back and arrange it first." Arni was very anxious about the plan, so he hurried back.
After seeing Arni off, I returned to the conference room, and I collapsed on the throne I had brought back from Dragon Island. "Whew! Finally gone. β
"Scared the hell out of me." Su Mei and Xiao Yao also sighed beside them.
Rose sat down on my lap and said, "How's it going?" How are the three of us singing this play? β
"Great." I lit my rose nose and said, "Arni was here today to make some gains." I didn't expect the three of you to come out and screw her up, and you just twisted her plan into a pot of porridge. β
Xiao Yao smiled: "That's it, Al Ni's face is green." β
Eagle also said, "Maybe she's scolding you." β
"Haha! Are you willing to take advantage and be scolded by her, or are you willing to give her benefits and then scold her? β
Eagle immediately said: "Of course I was scolded for taking benefits." She scolded her, and I didn't hurt or itch, but the benefits were more affordable. Hawk's words caused a burst of laughter, and this time it was really earned.
In fact, even if Arni doesn't come, I plan to build a new Issinger in the original Isenger location, and now this Issinger can be moved, so the original location needs a new city to be used as the main guild city. After that, I will enter the fortress first. Arni's visit coincided with my plans. With her paying, I saved a lot of money. And you can build the city very big. The only thing I need to accommodate the Dark Temple is to get the original circle out again, and I'll take advantage of it.
Everyone was laughing proudly, and the big pot of rice suddenly rushed into the conference room. "Oh no, no, tsunami...... The tsunami is coming......! β
"What?"
"Oops!"
I was so shocked to hear the news that I suddenly stood up. Rose, who was sitting on my lap, didn't expect me to stand up suddenly, and I fell to the ground.
"Slow down, what's going on? Be clear. Rose asked as she got up from the ground.
"Tsunami." The big pot rice pointed in the direction of the sea and said, "There is a super tsunami in the direction of the sea surface. The wave head is almost 200 meters high. We'll be here in ten minutes. β
Eagle said excitedly, "What are you still doing?" Command the city to rise above the clouds. β
I plucked the leaves of the City Tree and said, "Let's just let the City Tree start operating!" β
Isenger was now parked at the same beach where Isenger had been. Half in the sea and half on shore. Now, if this wave hits, it is estimated that there will not be much damage to Isinger's sturdy Cheng DΓΉ, but it is always dangerous to be attacked by such a big wave, so it is better to drive.
A shrill siren sounded inside Esinger in an instant. "Warning, due to the unexpected situation, the city needs to rise urgently. During this period, there will be a brief feeling of overweight. Be prepared to fight overload. Now enter the ten-second countdown. β
When the countdown was answered, Esinger shook a little and began to rise slowly, because the city is very massive, so we don't dare to make the acceleration too big, otherwise the load on the load-bearing parts of such a heavy thing will be too great. As the city continued to rise, the bottom of the city finally broke out of the water, and the bottom armor below the city was still dripping water, and some of the grooves were like small waterfalls.
When the city is in the sea, the bottom armor is not closed, because the city has been supporting the city on the bottom of the sea, the advantage of multiple tracks is that we can adjust the length of each crawler support frame to maintain the balance of the city, no matter how uneven the ground is, the city does not need to follow the ground ups and downs in the movement, the original design is to ensure the stability of the city, if the city moves up and down like a car, then how to work inside!
As the city rises, those crawler supports are also slowly coming back to the city, because the length of the original telescopic is not the same, so now the speed of coming back is also different. These supports have pressure feedback devices, and although I use purely mechanical principles to build the pressure receptors, the effect is similar to that of electronic instruments. These things are responsible for feeling the pressure on each support, and when the ground is uneven, the support frame will exceed the average pressure, and then it will automatically shorten the length until the pressure equalizes. According to this principle, we don't need to calculate the rise and fall of the ground at all, the pressure from the ground will automatically maintain the balance of the city.
When the last support is recovered, all the outer armor plates begin to close inwards at the same time, and the armor modules that bite each other bite tightly before being positioned and locked by the latching device. Water in the warehouse is sprayed outward along a dedicated drainage pipe. Although the wave of the tsunami is only 200 meters high, the air waves driven by the sea will affect the high sky, so we have been raising the city above the clouds to stabilize it. The stratosphere, which is not affected by convection of the underlying air.
I stood at the bottom of the observation hole at the bottom of Isinger and looked at the situation below, although it was on the clouds, but there should be no clouds, so the ground could be seen very clearly. The Qiankun gourd has begun to show its power when it causes the first global climate change, but I didn't expect that we were the first to suffer. I can already see the white waves on the surface of the sea, and the 200-meter-high waves here look like just thick white bands, but when you compare them to the trees on land, you can see how huge they are.
The waves formed a wall of water, overwhelming the shore and rushing over. From such a high place, we could hear the rumbling sound rolling in front of us. After activating the Star Pupil, I could see that there were almost a lot of pieces of wood and something in the waves.
"What's that?" Roses: They saw those things in their own telescopes, too.
I zoomed in and saw the things right away. "It's a fragment of a ship, and it looks like there's a corpse."
Rose immediately shouted: "It can't be from Tianmen Island, right?" β
"Oops!" I suddenly remembered that if this wave came from the sea, it must have passed through Tianmen Island, and it would be troublesome. γ
"Don't worry, Tianmen Island is fine." The big pot of rice said with a relaxed face.
"How do you know?"
The big pot of rice said as a matter of course: "The news of the tsunami is the news that came from the crystal communication machine over there. β
"So what happened to them? Didn't the tsunami pass through them? β
"It's passed." "Actually, this tsunami didn't start on our side, it was generated from the Pacific Ocean. β
Eagle said: "Nonsense, the Pacific Ocean and Japan are still in the way between us!" β
"I'm not talking nonsense." The big pot rice explained: "This is the news from Ling Yuanchui who is lurking on Tianmen Island and the Japanese side. The tsunami that struck Japan after it was formed in the Pacific Ocean had never seen such a large wave before. After the tsunami washed ashore, it did not stop at all, he made landfall from the east coast of Japan, crossed the whole of Japan, and then entered the sea on the west coast and pounced on the Chinese side. Ling Yuan blew their communication machine destroyed by the waves. It wasn't fixed until just now. It was too late for them to inform Tianmen Island. The tsunami has reached Tianmen Island. Guess what happened? β
We shook our heads together: "That's a guess! Say it quickly! β
"Hey, hey. Sue sΓΉ you. The tsunami took a detour at that time. β
"Detour?"
"Yes. It's a detour. Isn't Tianmen Island in the Storm Belt? But because of Bi Ling's remains, there is no wind and waves on the periphery of Tianmen Island, and everyone knows this. But what you didn't expect was that Biling actually blocked the tsunami. After the waves of the tsunami reached the wind-free zone on the outskirts of Tianmen Island, it was like hitting a hood, and they all rushed over from both sides separately. There was water everywhere, but Tianmen Island came over unharmed. β
"Thank you so much Biling! The super beast is really extraordinary. Rose sighed.
Su Mei suddenly said: "This wave is still so big over Japan." Isn't Japan finished? β
The big pot rice said with a smile: "This wave is more than 400 meters high when it is in the Pacific Ocean, and it has only dropped to its current height after reading Japan, and now the whole of Japan is in ruins except for some areas and cities protected by divine power or special forces, Ling Yuan said that it is more chaotic over there now, and she doesn't know the specific situation, but it is initially estimated that more than two-thirds of the cities are finished." By the way, how about we take this opportunity to attack Japan? β
I laughed and said, "You're stupid! Players can't die, even if they are washed to death once, they just drop one level, and their strength won't drop too much. To say that the only advantage of the attack now is probably that the Japanese have suffered heavy losses in battleships, I estimate that they should not have many ships left, but there is a sky in their country, and it is not much use for us to attack on our own! Even if they are vulnerable now, who do you want me to send? Indonesia is busy, Europe is also expanding, the United States is not peaceful, just now Arni said that we want to rebuild Issinger, where do you say I am busy? β
"Our guild is just too few people!" The big pot of rice sighed.
I remembered what he said. "With more wives, how many people are there in our guild now? Last time, I asked you to recruit people, did it work? β
"Now there are 27,639 regular members in the guild, including 20,029 women and 7,660 men. There are 7,327 probationary members in the test, of whom 1,096 are women. 6,231 males. β
I nodded. "In the future, the expansion speed can be appropriately slowed down, the soldiers are not expensive, and the ratio of men and women in this guild can be appropriately adjusted?"
"It's been adjusted quite a bit." Rose said: "In the past, the ratio of men to women in our guild was 1 to 20, but now it is 7.6 to 20. If it weren't for the fact that I was trying to bring the gender ratio back to the reserve members, I wouldn't have placed so many male players, but only those female players. β
The big pot of rice said with a wistful face next to him: "I think it's good to think like this, think about the guild is full of beautiful women, and it's cool to walk in the middle!" β
The eagle poured cold water on him beside him: "You kid dare to go out of the wall, be careful to let Bing'er know that you have been castrated." β
Rose hurriedly covered Su Mei and Xiao Yao's ears: "There are children here!" Just kidding. β
"Look at the tsunami coming ashore." The big pot of rice was jokingly embarrassed, and quickly interrupted to divert attention. γ
The white waves we came down from were already ashore in a blink of an eye, and we didn't feel anything wrong on the beach, but we saw the effect when we got inland. The waves rushed through the deep pit left by Issinger and gradually entered the forest area, and the forests that could block the wind and sand were like toothpicks being broken in the face of the tsunami and then broken into debris and moving with the waves.
The big pot of rice smiled: "Haha! Now our neighbors are going to be out of luck. β
The guild that the big pot of rice laughed at was the subordinate guild of the bright forces outside the forest. It's not very friendly with us in a guild, but it's not a big feud, the last time they held a martial arts competition, we happened to fall on the martial arts field with Hongyan, and the angry guy's mouth was crooked. This time it seems to be even worse, I guess after the tsunami there will be nothing left of the city except the foundation! Ay! Poor man!
"What's that?" Su Mei suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted. I followed her finger and saw a colorful band of light appear at the edge of the forest, and the violent waves hit the band of light and flew apart in all directions. What is this thing so powerful?
