336 You are the ones who sit in the well and watch the sky, magician
"I'm going to fly higher~Fly higher~"
"Wings roll up the storm ~ my heart is whistling and screaming ~"
The crimson shrine, the little bald head Youzan sang in a child's voice, and his two hands tapped on the keyboard like playing a piano.
The two little angels slumped on the couch panting, and Little Red Riding Hood waved its little wings, shuttling and flying among the rune fish, happy as a fish.
..................
Silver City, in the Milden Mansion where Li Qi stayed, in a certain room, the "Temporary Branch of the Operation Storm Protection Group" composed of Insi, Gambitt, Bobby, Finn and others held a routine life meeting.
Insi looked at everyone, then closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her expression was indifferent, and she said like a puppet: "In the name of my lord, I offer good wishes to the world." ”
The others also looked a little glazed, their eyes falling on the void above their wrists.
In the eyes of the watchers, there is nothing, but in the eyes of the attendees, lines and lines are refreshing.
The Rose Witch's psychic network can't be extended to other professions of the Fei Gong, but relying on the superficial psychic connection with the Rose Witch, it can form a temporary "local area network".
With the help of Bilibili's ability to turn thoughts into words, Nice, the leader of the code farmer in Rose Witch, came up with a group chat tool. Rose the Witch acts as a server, connecting others together through divine magic.
Within sight, members of the Phillips can do a group chat without saying a word. Not only does it greatly improve the efficiency of communication, but it can also be disguised as a prayer to effectively prevent leakage.
As the host, Gambit's ID is red, and he first gave a briefing on the situation: "Operation Storm has entered the second phase, and the situation we are facing is extremely serious, and the possibility of the enemy taking violent measures has been further increased, and the forces that were originally neutral or even friendly will also be transformed into enemies. According to the judgment of the cardinal, the enemy is most likely to strike at the Holy Maiden......"
There was a lively discussion in which they put forward their views and adjustments to the existing security programme.
It's not easy to have such a group chat, first of all, you have to overcome the desire to speak, and you have to suppress all kinds of distractions. However, controlling the mind is the basic skill of the members of the Fei Communist Party, and there is a silk to monitor everyone's mental fluctuations and remind them to concentrate. Coupled with intensive training before departure, everyone has adapted to this type of communication.
After the end of the communication in work, it is the regular content of the life meeting, talking about what we have seen and felt in life and work, and having a deeper understanding of revolutionary beliefs.
Usually, this link is more laborious, because there is nothing new, and everyone can only dig out the details. But when it comes to the Storm Islands, everyone has a lot of feelings. The suffering of the civilians of Shadow City, the enslavement suffered by all classes above the Demon Warriors, and the dark side of the mage society, made everyone continue to absorb nourishment from the discussion, and their faith was strengthened by this.
After this link, there are trends in life, under normal circumstances, it is about the problems encountered by individuals, as well as the needs of work and life, but today's discussion revolves around a little girl.
Bobby: "Josie's hierarchy is too heavy, but she can still stick to Finn, which shows that she really has a good impression of Finn, and in her eyes, Finn is still a little boss." ”
Gambitt: "It's not Zolde who signed the pact with Josie, it's the patriarch of House Mildern. Just now, we also agreed that the Milderns are the most likely to do it. Even if she didn't have the intention of harming anyone, she would still be forced by Mildern to do it. ”
Finn: "That's what worries me the most, and I ...... her Like it or second, more importantly, I don't want to see her become a senseless victim, she should live and live well. ”
Gambitt: "Even if the cardinal asks Josie over, her suspicion cannot be ruled out. So Finn, if you really want to make this wish come true, don't let this wish become an opportunity for the enemy. ”
Bobby: "yes, it's a bit of a headache, and even if Finn you smitten her, the Milderns will still drive her to do something to us." ”
Finn: "You're talking about Sahina's kind of slave who can't help herself, and the contract mage only has a soul mark, and it is impossible to be controlled by the mind, otherwise it will seriously damage the magic ability, at most it is coercion and temptation." ”
Gambitt: "Then you know the situation, we can make a request to the cardinal, and I don't think the cardinal will object." The premise is that you have to do Josie's job, and whether she can come to us or not, she has to stay out of this vortex. ”
Finn: "I understand......"
Life will end, Insi blinked, and returned to normal. Leave the room with the others and go back to their respective posts.
In the gloomy room on the other floor of the mansion, the half-elf maid paid attention to the light curtains, and the scene on one of the light curtains was the room where Gambit and the others were meeting.
Another light curtain popped open, and Perot's head appeared, his eyes bloodshot and his expression extremely tired.
He asked, "Debbie, is there anything unusual about Duke Prell and his men?"
The maid said in a panic: "The duke has been in the room all the time, and according to the master's orders, he has not directly monitored the duke's room. His subordinates had no other anomalies than a silent prayer. ”
"Silent prayer? Hmph! Like the ascetics of Ismat! Richie Prell is a poisonous flower!"
Perrault's mood was unstable: "From now on, directly monitor Richie Prell's room!"
"This ......" the maid Debbie hesitated a little: "In case the Duke of Prell finds out ......"
Pei Luo said angrily: "I just want him to find out! Let him understand that this is Silver City, not a place for him to mess around!"
In another magic tower in Silver City, Pero scolded and waved the light screen, and said to Zold, who had just entered the room, "Did you already know that he would do this!?"
Zolde said in horror, "Father, I'm a magician, I want to know that he still has this hand, and dare to let him come to the Storm Islands?"
"I don't dare!"
Pei Luo knows this son very well, tends to be inflammatory, has no opinions, and is only suitable for tossing in the front desk. Seeing that he also looked frightened, he knew that he had just learned and was afraid of being punished.
The old legend asked without worrying: "What's the matter with me?"
"This ......," Zolde said with a careful smile, "Richie told me that the little girl I sent was very noisy, and he didn't like it, so let me bring it back." But if Debbie has anything else to arrange for her, I'll ask if I can ......."
Perro finally broke out: "I'll give what he likes, I'll give it with both hands, and if he doesn't like it, I'll change him immediately?" Even if he is a celebrity of Queen Dawn and a young and beautiful duke, I'm still a legend! I'm still the patriarch of the Mildern family! Does he have a minimum of respect for me!?"
"He poked such a big hole in my auction, and he used me as a gunman! Zold, it's your fault! You honestly stay in Silver City and don't go anywhere, and when I send this poisonous flower away, I'll settle accounts with you!"
Zold's face was so bitter that he could wring out the water, and he didn't give up and said, "Then Josie ......"
"From now on, Prell's affairs have nothing to do with you! That Josie, he doesn't like it, he prefers to let her stick to him! And that Vicky, he doesn't settle this account with me, don't want to get it! Get out!"
Zelder left in a hurry with his head in his hands, and Perro gasped for breath for a while before calming down.
"One hundred thousand gold bushels...... Those bastards on the council will definitely pay their bills!"
"Forcing me to take on this, let me be scolded by 10,000 people!
"When something goes wrong, I'm the scapegoat, right, hehe......"
Perot paced with his hands behind his back and walked all the way to the terrace, his mind still unsettled,
A slender figure emerged from the air, came behind Pei Luo, and gently pressed his shoulder: "Father, now you should know that this beautiful flower not only has thorns, but can also poison people, right?"
"Grita, what do you want to say?"
Perro snorted, "What do the people over there think, do you think this is an opportunity for me to fall to them, to encourage me to do something?"
Greta smiled: "Isn't there an agreement about Prell, whether it's on my side, or on Menessus and Hathaway's side?
Perro sneered: "Didn't they endure it? As soon as Prell left, it was our Mildern who was sitting in the crater!"
"So, father, don't you think you should do something?"
Greta continued to knead his shoulder: "Prell's hand has added a lot of variables to the reorganization meeting of the High Council, and it has also strengthened the confidence of our side. Even if he did something, as long as he didn't directly hurt Prell, Menesus's side would turn a blind eye......"
"You ......"
Perro seemed to be tempted: "What do you want to do?"
Grita's red lips leaned into Perro's ear, "Didn't Father want the Storm Islands to settle down like this, forever?"
She licked her ear and muttered, "This goal is the same as ours, aren't we going to hold a celebration of dimensional development in three days? You don't have to do anything, just let something ...... It happens naturally. ”
Pei Luo's old body trembled slightly, and his voice became low: "I...... Consider considering. ”
..................
"I've thought about it......"
On the terrace of the mansion, Richie explained to Gambitt and Finn, "I told Zelder in the evening to let Josie go. Wait for the matter here to be settled, and then ask people to come. Zolde replied that he hadn't done it. ”
Gambit sneered: "Then the matter is clear......"
Finn worried: "I need to talk to Josie ......"
Li Qi scratched his head and sighed: "We are facing the same challenge, we all have to convince a woman." ”
As he spoke, a multicolored light and shadow quickly approached, and when he got closer, he saw that it was two phantom birds similar to peacocks, pulling a car and flying in the air.
The "peacock car" stopped near the terrace, the door opened, and a translucent crystal light path was paved onto the terrace, and the black-haired and silver-eyed beauty said angrily in the carriage: "Come up!"
Waving to Gambit and Finn to signal that it was okay, Richie stepped onto the crystal light path and entered the carriage.
The carriage was spacious enough for Richie to spread his limbs wide in the soft chair, and although he didn't do that, he stretched out his body and let out a sigh of relief.
Hathaway said coldly: "The conspiracy succeeded, so I was relieved?"
"What's the conspiracy here?"
Li Qi exclaimed: "I came to the Storm Islands to build and not destroy, otherwise why would I take out this thing at auction?
Hathaway said angrily: "This is your cunning trick! I should have thought of it, the previous Tangus meeting, you were also like this, you made a mess of everyone, but you got what you wanted and got out safely!"
Then she rubbed her forehead helplessly: "You forced us to buy this thing, and then took great pains to stabilize the basket you poked out, while you sat on the shore and watched us flutter in the water...... Say, what exactly do you want?"
Li Qi's expression was straight: "Have you figured it out?"
Hathaway's slender eyelashes blinked rapidly, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, and then turned firm: "No, Richie, the Storm Islands are our home, if you want to encourage me to do something hurtful to this family, it's wishful thinking!"
Indeed, the psychological shadow of 30,000 years is not something that can be dispelled by the pressure in front of him and his lips and tongue.
"Tell me something else, how are you going to deal with the impact of this law on the Storm Islands? Let me guess......
Li Qi decided to go around in circles first and gave a thumbs up: "First, that is, what we do now, block the news, at least reduce the spread of the news, and arrest those who try to take advantage of this law immediately and deal with them severely, and make an example of the monkeys." ”
He raised his index finger again: "Second, announce that this technology is owned by the Mage Federation, and strictly ban the magic guides made using this law." ”
Then he said: "Third, when the situation is basically stable, we will sell the license of this technology." ”
"You're sure you'll use this law yourself, in this membrane of the Storm Isles, magic guides don't need magic arrays. But the magic array is still the core of your magic industry, whether it is exploring the plane or developing in the continent, you must rely on the magic array. Once you use it, how can you stop others from using it? So it's better to put it on a track that can be regulated and profitable. ”
"Before the popularization of new technology, your big family has monopolized the market by relying on abundant human and financial resources and marketing channels, and everyone else can only eat some scum, and the Storm Islands are still that peaceful and peaceful paradise. ”
Hathaway sighed: "The general steps are indeed like this, but they are still busy arranging the first and second steps, and the third step has not been thought out clearly. After all, this ...... Artur's law not only leverages the foundation of the magic array, but also has a great impact on the basic principles of magic. Menessus...... The dean, who had already entered the meditation tower, was ready to spend the night thinking about this thing. ”
Before Li Qi was finished, he raised his little finger and said, "Actually, you still have a choice, that is, to allow everyone to use this law, but charge a certain amount of ...... for all magic array products The knowledge tax, or whatever you want to call it. In short, on the one hand, it promotes the popularization of the law, and on the other hand, it can also obtain considerable benefits. You big families still have a monopoly on technical talent, magic materials, and marketing channels, and have a good chance of a smooth transition to the new era. ”
Hathaway listened attentively and nodded slightly: "This is an aggressive plan, and it is up to you to come up with it, but it seems too radical." ”
She smiled faintly and said, "So, this is your goal? Let the Storm Islands quickly transform in technology, in order to survive and develop, more actively open up markets on the mainland, and accelerate the flow of talents, technology and resources to the mainland, so as to better serve your Majesty?"
"No ......"
Richie's tone was tinged with pity: "Only in this way can the Storm Islands gain a little time to develop." Use this time to seize enough market on the mainland to ease the internal contradictions of the Storm Islands. Otherwise, the Storm Islands will either break out into revolution or be abandoned by the world. ”
Hathaway was stunned and laughed out loud in a very uncivilized way.
"Richie, it's so funny that you're seriously saying such nonsense......
The beauty legend rubbed her stomach and began to moan with laughter: "We, we are abandoned by the world, haha......"
She gasped for a while before calming down a little: "We do see the order led by Theresia as the direction of a better future, and it would be a great loss not to actively participate in it. For me personally, this is also the easiest way to the next long river. But that doesn't mean it's the only option, it's the one that decides the fate of the entire Storm Islands......"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Qi interjected: "The Storm Islands have been isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years, even if the world is destroyed again, as long as the main plane does not collapse, the Storm Islands will continue to be stable forever, right?"
Hathaway's smile froze on her face, and she stared blankly at Richie, waiting for him to continue.
Li Qi tapped his wrist guard, and an image of the scene was projected in the air.
"Indeed, you magicians can continue to crouch in this sub-plane, and you can enjoy eternal peace. But in my eyes, the Storm Islands are just a well, and the continent is changing with each passing day, and you magicians are just squatting in the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”
On the image were a series of tables, each of which listed detailed numbers, leaving Hathaway at a loss: "What is this?"
