Chapter 485: Who's on stage, who's singing?! [five]
The relics of an ancient civilization!
The same thought appeared in the minds of every nobleman present almost at the same time, and some people's breathing became rapid unconsciously, and they only cared about the possible benefits of developing the new river system, but they forgot that there was also the possibility of the appearance of ancient civilization relics in the new river system.
Although this is unlikely, the modern cosmic civilization that claims to be the center of the universe can rarely find the remains of the desolate ancient civilization in the fringe river system, but it is very few, which does not mean that there are none.
If there is really a remnant of an ancient civilization in the new river system, then everything seems to make sense. Why did Lee Tomb choose the Muller Federation? Why did Li Tomb, who was still strong in wanting war before, sign the armistice agreement? Why did you pinch your nose and accept the joint development contract that obviously suffered a little?
Everything seems to make sense, it's really surprising, but I feel like it's the truth.
"The remains of an ancient civilization. There is a remnant of an ancient civilization in the new river system?! ”
Mu Chenggong couldn't help but be the first to call out, his face full of unwillingness and annoyance.
"Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about! If there are relics of ancient civilizations in the new river system, will it be my turn?! ”
Li Tomb scolded a little angrily.
The others were stunned for a moment, and felt that what Li Tomb said was reasonable, if there were really relics of the ancient civilization in the Xinhe system, then it was impossible for Tianguang, who had already discovered the Xinhe system for many years, to still be kept, and he had already plundered them, where could they wait.
"Huh. Your Excellency does not need to hide it. When Tian Guang was there, in order to avoid the new river system being exposed. The exploration of the new river system has been progressing very slowly, and for so many years it has only been refining the star map, and has not really started to develop it at all. ”
The general scoffed. The face became a little hideous, "So, let me think about it." You found a remnant of an ancient civilization in the New River System, or some other precious resource, and then you found this place on the star map in my hand. That's why you came to me and wanted to buy the star map from me. ”
"You are reluctant to sign an armistice, but in fact you want it more than anyone else. Then exploit the loopholes in the contract, and under our noses, unwittingly take away the interests that should belong to all of us. ”
"Let me think about it. You once got a batch of Desolate Ancient Civilization Inheritance, and then you must have got something from Tian Guang, which made you think that there might be a Desolate Ancient Civilization Relics in the New River System, so you chose to stay in the Mueller Federation. Prepare to sneak in. ”
"It's a pity that you didn't expect a Galactic Federation to pop up. Disrupted all your arrangements. So when the Twin Eagle Empire goes to war, you clamore for an invasion of the Empire, but at the same time, you have Barton, the Federation President who seems to be at odds with you, privately sign a truce with the Empire. ”
"But you didn't expect the Duke to come suddenly, so you hurriedly found Earl Winster, well, I guess the arrival of Earl Reinhardt has something to do with you."
Everyone was fascinated by the general's narration, and judging from the reasoning of these reasoning, Li Tomb was trying to make compromises as they thought. If you want to preserve the Federation, you are clearly deliberate. It's chilling.
"Speaking of which, it seems that the reason why I came to the Federation was because Hill gave me a message."
Count Reinhardt thought for a moment and said, instantly making the faces of the nobles present change slightly, and their eyes looking at Li Tomb were suddenly full of vigilance and vigilance.
Li Tomb's face became ugly, feeling the combing of the nobles present, he took a deep breath, and seemed to forcibly calm himself down, without speaking, just kept drinking, trying to hide the fluctuations in his heart.
"You see that the new river system can't be monopolized, so you are very generous in the contract, and try your best to buy yourself half a year, but you are worried that the star map in my hand may expose you. If I'm not mistaken, in order to truly preserve the secrets of the relics of the ancient civilization. You will definitely order the destruction of that planet when it is developed. ”
"It's okay if you don't have the star map in my hand, but as long as you compare it with my star map, everyone will wonder what you got in the new river system, otherwise why destroy that planet? But if it is not destroyed, it cannot completely cover up the traces of the existence of the relics of the ancient civilization. So, you're trying to buy a star map from me. ”
"For the sake of a lie, you have to cover it up with more lies, but you don't realize that this is what makes your conspiracy exposed."
The general's gaze sharpened, "I really want to convince myself that I just think too much, but there is a saying that the person who knows you best will always be your enemy." Li Tomb, I was driven out of the Federation by you, such a shameful humiliation, do you think that money alone can make up for it? ”
"Hmph. Your imagination is so good, you should go write a novel! It's just nonsense, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense here. ”
Li Tomb snorted coldly, put down the wine glass, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Qin Zhuang and others.
"Haha, my guess might be false. But it doesn't matter, even if there are no relics of an ancient civilization at all, everything is just me talking nonsense, but do you dare to deny that you are not preparing to exploit the loopholes in the contract, and do something in the past six months? Although it is only one possibility, just one possibility is enough. It can be regarded as repaying you for the gift of the day. ”
When the general finished speaking, he smiled instead, as if everything was really just nonsense, and drank wine.
The general said calmly, and without hesitation, he showed that he was purely unhappy with Li Tomb, and deliberately wanted to say so, but not only could not dispel the suspicions of the nobles present, but became more firm.
Because this can at least make everyone not have to suspect that the general has other ideas, as the general said, he is just purely adding to the blockage of Li's tomb, but it is enough.
Everyone has their own judgment, if it was out of the idea of compensating Li Tomb before, so they turned a blind eye to the half-year period in the contract, then now everyone is not ready to let Li Tomb go.
What's more, the people present are all sharp-minded and masters of observing words and feelings, and they have already drawn a lot of things from Li Tomb's expression. Even if it wasn't a relic of an ancient civilization, there might be something bigger in the new river system that they didn't know about before.
"I think we should probably sit down and discuss the terms of the contract."
"Hmm. I think so too. ”
"Enough. Are you ready to go back on the contract you just signed? Don't lose the face of the nobility! ”
Li Tomb roared angrily.
Seeing the gaffe of Li Tomb, the nobles present lit up one after another, and they were even more sure that there must be something greasy in it.
"Maybe someone thinks they're smart enough to be above all of us, and they're playing with all of us, just like someone did in the Black Prison Empire."
Qin Zhuang sneered coldly, and Oda Shin was silent. Thinking about the resolute ferocity shown by Li Tomb in the attack on the base of the Divine Spirit Plan, as well as the fact that the compensation was not leaky, he couldn't help but change his face slightly. "Li Tomb, maybe we should really talk about it again."
"The benefits are endless, and there is no need to offend everyone for a little profit."
Earl Winster also spoke, originally just a little optimistic about Tomb Lee. He thought about compensating Li Tomb for some benefits afterwards. Now he looks solemn, and it feels absolutely uncomfortable to be kept in the dark.
"Last time, you could still run to ASEAN, but this time, where else can you go?"
Earl Reinhardt spoke even more dryly, with a hint of threat.
Li Tomb was silent, deathly silent, for a long time. In the midst of everyone's unkind gaze, Li Tomb finally spoke. The voice was a little hoarse, "Okay." You guys won. Yes, I did find something in the new river system. ”
As soon as these words came out, the breathing of the nobles present became a little short.
"The remains of an ancient civilization. A large remnant of an ancient civilization. ”
When Li Tomb said this, his gaze swept over everyone present like a knife, "I admit that I did have the intention of monopolizing it before, but it is also for the sake of the Federation, once this news leaks out, the Federation and the Empire will definitely be destroyed." That's something I don't want to see. ”
"Okay. Presumably everyone is not a patriot, so I won't talk about this nonsense. I can share that relic with you. But there is a premise that we must go now and stay together until the ruins are developed and completely erased. I don't want someone to spread the word on the way. ”
"Although the relics of the ancient civilization can be shared by all nobles, I don't think anyone really wants this to happen, right?"
The nobles were silent for a moment, then looked at each other, still thinking, Li Tomb's tone had become cold, "Actually, I don't think you have room to think anymore. Since I have told the truth, then whoever betrayed my friendship today, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Indeed it should be."
The Fourteenth Apostle Skynet, who had been silent and seemed extremely mysterious, said coldly, "I have blocked all radio signals, including my own. ”
The other nobles unconsciously looked at Skynet, and then hesitated for a moment, and Earl Winster was the first to speak, "Okay." ”
"I accept it, it's fair, isn't it?"
Oda Shinya spoke.
"It was a surprising day. But, I like such surprises. ”
Reinhardt said with a smile.
With the two counts of Winster and Reinhardt agreeing, and Oda Shin and Skynet nodded, Qin Zhuang had nothing to hesitate about, and nodded, "It seems that this plan is quite reliable." ”
As for Fia, Mu Chenggong and they no one cared about their opinions, and they didn't dare to oppose it, so why should they oppose it.
Sharing the relics of an ancient civilization is a pleasant surprise for any nobleman.
"I didn't think my guess was true."
The general smiled with some surprise.
Li Tomb snorted coldly and glared at him fiercely, and the other nobles hurriedly laughed and played a round game, so that Li Tomb's killing intent against the general was finally reined in.
"Okay. Now that everyone has agreed. Without further ado, let's go now. It just so happens that the development of the ruins has not yet begun, otherwise I would be worried that some people will suspect me of eating alone. ”
Li Tomb said coldly, and asked people to prepare the battleship immediately. (To be continued......)
