Chapter 131: Deceit
"Lord Zarik, I remember that you just spoke of the vast territory. I believe that your half-step sub-god rank is real, but I still don't think you have enough capital to promise me a vast territory. ”
Lowe returned to the collaboration that Zarik had mentioned, to the ice ruins, to the problem of harvest upon return.
Territory?
The ice sheet is large enough, but there are not many territories that remain unoccupied. Perhaps there is a wider territory in the depths of the unknown ice field, but it is a place that even the Predator Wolf Regiment is extremely afraid of, and they have to take a steady and steady approach in order to barely gain a foothold.
To snatch territory from other forces, the strength of a half-step sub-god is obviously not enough. The forces that can own territory on the war-torn ice fields have the presence of sub-gods.
This is also a headache for Luo, without strong personal strength and a strong team to back him up, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want a piece of the pie among these intertwined forces.
Although the Night Mercenary Group was founded, it was only a super-level leader, a deputy leader who could not appear on the ice field at all, and a master who liked to release air cannons, and the Night Mercenary Group Luo was still extremely long away from the road to dominating the ice field.
"Mr. Luo is very thoughtful. To be precise, I am still a master who has not yet stepped into the ranks of subgods, and this ice field is full of masters, and there are even more than enough beings above them. Therefore, I do not have any capital and strength to take even an inch of territory from them. ”
"Moreover, the icefield, and even the wilderness, never believed in promises, and the hypocritical and pale promises were far less reassuring than their own fists, like the hard enough fists of my dear cousin, Lord Steven."
Lowe didn't interrupt Zarik, he had already vaguely guessed a possibility.
"The Great Lord Murphy and the Great Lord Amandina are the spokesmen of the will of the wilderness, and according to the agreement of the two Excellencies, they are only eligible to exchange for the so-called "bargaining chips" after occupying a sufficiently large territory.
Zarik looked at Lowe, an unpredictable smile on his face.
"But they didn't say whether the territory for the chips was above the ice or under the ice. Or as long as it's something on the ice sheet, they don't care if it's above or below the ice, don't you think? Dear Mr. Lowe. ”
Zarik's words were very direct, so direct that they were infinitely close to the will of the wasteland as Luo understood them.
Yes, as long as it is something from the ice field, the wilderness must be snatched up, and it is not limited by the thick ice layer at all.
Lowe admits that he was a little moved.
But Lowe still didn't say anything, he was still waiting for Zarik to continue. He wanted to hear more truths, and he believed that there was definitely enough truth in what Zarik was going to say next.
When a wise person is in desperate need of the trust and help of others, he will always tell enough truths first to try to cover up the lies that are confused in the truth.
Zarik is definitely a smart man, otherwise Lowe wouldn't have been patient enough to sit here.
"This huge and ancient ice cave is located in an extremely hidden place on the outer edge of the ice field, perhaps because those huge forces are busy exploring more precious things in the depths of the ice field, and have neglected to explore the outer area of the ice field. Maybe they didn't discover it, maybe they discovered it but didn't bother to explore it......"
There was a hint of doubt in Zarik's words, but the vague doubt was quickly swallowed up by his own desires.
"Anyway, for whatever reason, until I found it, it was intact, and that's enough! The first to dig the grave often gets the most valuable burial goods, you say? Mr. Luo. ”
Lowe agrees with Zarik's argument that, as Amandina once said, there is only one rule for the ice sheet.
Whoever grabs it is whoever's is!
"You've been there, right? Lord Zarik, what is valuable there? ”
Zarik was able to invite Lo and ask him how well he was dealing with the ghost ice leeches, which was a good indication that he had been there, and even more than once.
"Yes, I've been there, with my buddies who are strong enough. But in the end, they were all left behind in that terrifying ice cave forever. ”
"As for what exists there, I don't know. There lives an ancient, obscurant, and uncivilized native, who even stubbornly use ancient and backward stone tools, guarding a nearly withered tree and a mysterious altar for generations. ”
Withered trees? Mysterious altars?
Lowe didn't know what Zarik meant, but he believed Zarik would tell him soon. In fact, Zarik did.
"One of my friends once called that tree the Tree of Good and Evil, the Tree of Good and Evil that existed in the Garden of Ixun and was full of forbidden fruits. And the mysterious altar in the deepest part of the ruins, that's where I longed for! ”
Lowe had not read the Bible, so he did not have the slightest idea of the existence of the "tree of good and evil", and he didn't care about any altar, he just wanted to know if there was enough territory there.
"You should probably tell me about the territory you spoke of, a vast enough territory than some tree of good and evil and an altar, Lord Zarik."
"Territory? Dear Luo, if you want, you can choose to kill all the natives who hold the stone tools in their hands, or force them to submit, it won't be difficult for you! Then, the vast land they inhabit will be yours, and I can promise that I won't rob you. The territory can only be exchanged for some special chips, and those chips will even become the best excuse for me to be destroyed before I have entered the sub-gods. ”
Zarik began to promise Lowe, and although such a promise didn't make the slightest sense, Zarik knew that Lowe shouldn't care.
Luo really didn't care, compared to fighting for territory with these entrenched forces above the ice, the difficulty of fighting with the juggernaut was obviously much lower.
And Lowe knew from the beginning that it was just a decoy.
If you don't have enough strength, you will die if you swallow it, but if you have the ability to swallow it and digest it, it will no longer be a bait, but a great opportunity.
Juggernaut, for Luo, who has entered the super level, may not be so uncrossable, even if it is the master of those half-step subgods.
"Lord Zarik, I can accept your invitation, but I don't think you have the sincerity to deliver on your promise. So, I need you to pay another kind of reward in advance for this expedition. ”
A slightly shy smile appeared on Lowe's face, somewhat similar to the humble Heyman of the Caddivon family.
"Another kind of reward? Gold coins? How much do you need? Mr. Luo. ”
Zarik finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party agreed, and successfully lured those terrifying ghost ice leeches, everything else could be discussed.
Of course, it's just talking.
"I need the kind of ability you use to hide your true rank."
The curvature at the corner of Luo's mouth was more obvious, like a gluttonous cat staring at the presumptuous goldfish in the fish tank.
