Of the 2 Divine Knights, only one of them did not obtain the Three Divine Arts, but the Divine Skill level has increased. [No pop-up novel network]

The other 7 fighting knights who were not promoted looked depressed, completely lost the spirit they had when they came, and for them, the most beautiful time in their lives was over.

Few altars would have given them another chance to enjoy so many devotees with so few knights.

If they applied to the Water Dragon or Fire Dragon Temple, they would only get the chance to compete for one spot with hundreds of knights at most......

Several people knelt down in the passage and prayed.

Seeing many losers, Gin Mori did not sympathize with them, and said, "You all signed an agreement before you set off, and you all know the price of this ceremony. So, after returning to the Western Continent, you will still have to participate in the war. However, after the end of the war, those who survived still had the opportunity to participate in the festival of the Water Dragon Temple, and the families of the war dead also had a chance. Regardless of whether they are killed in battle or not, the recipients of meritorious service will be rewarded by the Xijiang Festival. ”

The Sacrifice Vines organized on Earth are larger and have fewer participants, which makes them more likely to become a Divine Knight. In order to produce a magic knight, a family pays not only money, but also the cost of countless people's lives.

The 7 Fighting Knights did their best to show their resolute expressions, so as not to lù the weakness of the loser.

Suddenly, a heat wave hit from outside the door, and the fighting knights in charge of carrying them shouted loud trumpets to carry down all kinds of oversized and overweight non-standard equipment. The Divine Knights and the Mechanics were much quieter, but they were all drenched in sweat.

"You each have two days of rest, if you have anything to do, do it quickly, and after two days you will be in a state of combat readiness." There is a slight cruelty in Yinmori's words, but it is also a way of life that people in the Western Continent are accustomed to.

Many people had already said goodbye when they went to Earth, and at this time, the gentlemen who had become magic knights and the unsuccessful fighting knights who had returned home all stayed in the Xijiang city-state. They still have one hope that they will be rewarded for their meritorious service and will be rewarded by the new Xijiang memorial, otherwise, who will be embarrassed to go back.

"Your Excellency!"

Chen Yi watched the martial arts students send the missiles into the warehouse and walked out of the passage subway, at this time, the Russians who had been waiting impatiently rushed up Yu Weichao and Yu Lei couldn't stop them, so they could only follow behind.

"Mr. Maxim, is there something wrong?"

"We want to know, when will we be able to return to Black Harbour?" "We will restore the control zone as soon as possible." Chen Yi said ominously. Heigang has never been in the control area, and the current control area of the Xijiang city-state is 200 kilometers, and Chen Yi will not invest in military expansion until the members of the martial arts department and the Xijiang Society swallow up this area.

Making wedding dresses for Russians is just a matter of words.

Maxim is the new envoy sent by Moscow with a high level and some dictatorship, and is the future governor of the Western Continent, so he said positively: "Your Excellency, if you have a plan to expand the zone of control, we are willing to actively cooperate. ”

He also indirectly named the matter within the scope of the control zone.

Chen Yi smiled, and there was no need to explain more.

Maxim had no choice but to continue: "We have prepared two ships of munitions, which can be shipped to the Western Continent at any time, and these can be lent to you temporarily if you need them. ”

Temporary loan is an interesting term, which points to ownership while the timing of the right of use is very unclear, giving the owner considerable initiative.

Chen Yi shook his head and refused: "We don't need arms for the time being, if you want to transport arms, you have to follow the regulations." "The arms regulations of the Western Continent are topped with the participation of the warmonger Mo Shaoqiu, and in addition to distinguishing the types of arms, the tax rate of more than 500% is often levied on non-defensive weapons.

Mo Shaoqiu's non-defensive weapons are all sold to the Western Continent Agency, that is, Chen Yi's, no matter how high the tax is, it is a mathematical game on paper.

Maxim is different. The passage fee in the Western Continent is very expensive, a cannonball can be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and if a 500% tax rate is charged, the cannonball is equivalent to being cast in gold.

Finding nothing, Maxim left the passage area and crawled through the streets of the Xijiang city-state like a lost stray dog.

As he walked, he met acquaintances.

"Mr. Zhou Zhixue?" Maxim met a member of the Chinese observer group, and his tone was full of surprise.

If it had been two or three days ago, even if Maxim had not rejected people thousands of miles away, he would have ended the dull chance encounter in a bland tone. However, after a short period of understanding, Maxim has understood that the master of the Western Continent is not the government represented by Zhou Zhixue, but Chen Yi himself.

In other words, the two of them are not natural opposites, but have a lot in common.

Zhou Zhixue also felt the same way as his old acquaintance in another country, and said with a smile: "Mr. Maxim, you are so interested in wandering around during afternoon tea time." "Where, I'm thinking about something. Did Mr. Zhou Zhixue talk about the solution together?

The middle daughter of Matsimu was right. Of course, he's using konjac now.

For example, konjac in Chinese and Western Continent is quite cheap at wholesale prices in the West Malaysian market, 5

Konjac below the level is cheaper than apples from the earth, which is also the benefit of technology, the use of tape recorders to assist in the production and cultivation of konjac, compared to the konjac cultivated by people in the Western Continent in a non-stop way of talking, the cost is not much lower, if it is not for the local production and planting of the scale is still small, and there is a large export market, the price collapse has already happened.

Zhou Zhixue readily agreed, pulled Maxim into a teahouse, and said with a smile: "There is only one coffee house in Xijiang, and it is listed as a luxury store, let's talk in the teahouse." "The main consumers in Xijiang City are martial arts hall students and martial arts hall staff, and half of these young people from Jiangbei often do not have the habit of sitting in the *coffee house to consume. The teahouse was for the merchants.

If the goose is a luxury product, it is necessary to pay more taxes, and the tax rate includes the passage fee. Maxim immediately thought of his two ships of munitions and sighed.

"What? The conversation with Chen Yi did not go well. "Not really. I heard that they were not equipped enough, so I volunteered" Maxim said as if pouring beans in a bamboo tube, of course, the beans were poured quite skillfully.

Zhou Zhixue smiled and said: "I'm afraid you don't know, the Chen Yi family is far more prosperous than in the past, and there is a faint mold of the first family in China, he wants arms, and you can't provide it." ”

Of course, Maxim knew, but said, "If that's the case, it's me Meng Lang." Zhou Zhixue listened to the second half of the sentence, almost squirted tea, pounded the table and laughed, and said: "The konjac you use is really interesting." ”

"I chose the solemn and heavy taro, thinking that it was a formal diplomatic occasion, is there something wrong with it?" "No, no, businessman now." Zhou Zhixue paused as he spoke, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "It is said that the giant dragon that Chen Yi is going to deal with now may be the opponent of the local dragon. This was brand new news, and Maxim hurriedly asked: "What's going on?" What is the rival of the local dragon? ”

"The place where we are actually belongs to the Water Dragon Temple, and the Water Dragon is said to be a giant dragon."

"A dragon with millions of kilometers of land?" Maxim's tongue stuck out in surprise.

Zhou Zhixue nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Not bad." So, dragons may be real intelligent beings. Of course, we don't have specimens and we can't make accurate judgments. ”

No matter how lightly he said, Maxim was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "In this way, Chen Yi asked us Russians to go to Black Harbor, is there an ulterior motive?" ”

"This, I can't say." "This can't be good." Maxim's eyes froze, and he said angrily: "I'll go back now,

Immediately report this, and their interests in Siberia will be completely returned. ”

This time it was Zhou Zhixue's turn to be secretly surprised. The top brass estimated that Moscow and Chen Yi had reached a certain degree of exchange of interests on the Siberian issue, but they did not expect that the degree would be so deep.

If it is purely based on the theory of interests, exchanging Siberia for the Western Continent is really a win-win move.

Chen Yi got an overseas enclave, and the Russians got the new colony, Zhou Zhixue glanced at Maxim and said, "Actually, if it weren't for the dragon, how could you get Black Harbor?" That's a fair statement.

Black Harbour is a natural deep-water harbour. There are no big ships in the Western Continent, so they don't have a deep feeling, and Chen Yi and the others are different.

If it weren't for the danger of the dragon, the distance of more than a thousand kilometers, Chen Yi would have settled in Heigang by himself.

Maxim had long forgotten how they had rejected Chen Yi's persuasion, and said angrily: "Even so, I will definitely report to Moscow." ”

"I have a way, maybe I can make him steal chickens instead of a handful of rice."

"Oh? What's the solution? ”

"Please ask the dragon of the Water Dragon Temple to come forward, we are on the territory of the Water Dragon Temple after all."

"Then how do you invite the dragon of the Water Dragon Temple to come forward?"

Zhou Zhixue took out a konjac and said with a smile: "Chen Yi has made the Great Knight of the Western Continent, and we can do it too." Although there are some special rules for the temple, I have studied them almost. Maxim's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Mr. Zhou's opinion is crucial, well, what do you want?" "I will also share with you what you use." How is it? "Zhou Zhixue was directly sent by Xijing. If he applied to the above, he would not be able to avoid Chen Zhongguo no matter what. Moreover, the important material mobilization related to the Western Continent is under Chen Yi's strict surveillance, and what Zhou Zhixue wants to do seriously threatens Chen Yi's status, and there are not a few materials he needs, so there are almost no other channels except abroad.

Maxim tiǎntiǎn mouth, asked, "What supplies are needed?" "Mainly precious metals, in my opinion, heavy metals are better than precious metals."!
