After a short break, he met with the Grand Master of the Phantom Isles and the heads of many schools in the urgently repaired bridge.

They have long enslaved the natives of the archipelago and established their own musician regime, which now looks more like kings and nobles.

After just one glance, Ye Qingxuan felt that he was blinded.

There's money.

Hundreds of years of looting, coupled with the abundant mineral deposits and materials in the archipelago, none of these scepters and masters are mortal, and a random ring is enough to make a school treasure.

And at the same time as he looked at the other party, the other party was also looking at him, and at the same time wiped a cold sweat in his heart.

In fact...... The Phantom Islands arrived much earlier than they appeared.

It's just that at that time, although they were moved by Watson's words, they still had the mind to sell at a price. originally wanted to come out to be a rescuer when Ye Qingxuan ran out of ammunition, but he didn't expect that he was scared by Ye Qingxuan's posture.

What the fuck!

Everyone invariably put themselves into the role of a sea fortress, and if they change places and face a nomadic mountain, then the result is ......

The natural expectation sent a chill through everyone.

This time it was really self-defeating.

I originally wanted to send charcoal in the snow, but I didn't get it right, and I almost capsized, but fortunately, it can be the icing on the cake......

It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous.

At this moment, their hearts were already full of awe and jealousy towards the young man in front of them who was smiling and silent.

If they originally wanted to take advantage of the alliance to scrape a lot of money from Ye Qingxuan, then now, they began to worry about whether they would be embezzled by this ally who was too strong.

After glancing at each other, the silent Great Grandmaster broke the silence and bowed his head to Ye Qingxuan:

"Your Excellency, Lord Inquisitor, follow your call, the quagmire of illusions, the crypts of voodoo, and the uncertain land...... In the realm of ten thousand streams, sixteen archipelago illusion schools will serve you from today onwards. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and asked, "Since Watson has formed an alliance with the archipelago on my behalf, there is no need to be so polite."

You are also in danger to save me, if it were not for the No Return Fleet, I am afraid we would not have been able to achieve such rich results.

But how can I repay you for your help?"

The Grand Master was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid you don't know what Mr. Watson promised us now, right?"

Ye Qingxuan's face remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Please rest assured, I gave him the right to mobilize all my resources, and he agreed, that is, I agreed." ”

Although his face was extremely calm, secretly, Ye Qingxuan's non-existent heart began to beat wildly.

Panicked.

If Watson is relieved to do things, then Watson will be extremely uneasy at the same time.

Because Watson is just like Stone, as long as you don't limit his way of doing things, then he can always get things done for you, as long as you can bear the side effects and consequences of what he does......

Since Watson's return, he has not had time to talk to Watson alone, and he has no way of knowing what contract Watson signed when he came back.

So it can only be operated in two lines.

As early as the beginning of the conversation with the Phantom Isles, a ladder stretched from the floor beneath his feet to Watson's wheelchair.

The two of them just seized the time to communicate secretly.

"Hey, how are you going to get them?"

"You're only asking now?"

Watson let out a sneer, "I stirred up their internal contradictions, poisoned a person who was firmly opposed to cooperating with you, and then found someone to kill another wave of people who wanted to talk to them, so they could only talk to me."

Although there were some hiccups in between, it was generally quite smooth. And, in addition to the terms we had originally negotiated, we also promised them Anglo customs duties...... Five years. ”

"Shhh

Ye Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged, he gasped in his heart, and the teacup he picked up was almost pinched.

Customs?

Tariff?

Five years?

Friend, are you crazy!

As a maritime trading country, more than 70% of Anglo's annual tax revenue comes from customs. Now that it is even more at war, in order to maintain a minimum of trade, the royal family has tightened its belts and does not even dare to raise taxes.

As a result, you will wrap the tariff out for five years with a fluttering sentence!

Do you want the royal family to smash the pot and sell iron for food?

"Watson, do you want to be a traitor!"

"Hehe, if you want to sell, you sell it, and it's your seal that you stamp. ”

Ye Qingxuan cursed.

At this moment, if Ye Qingxuan hadn't known Watson's nature very well, he would have stood up and drawn his sword, on behalf of the Fifth Department, on behalf of the Inquisition, and on behalf of the royal family, he would have been killed.

Regarding Ye Qingxuan's worries, Watson didn't worry about half a dime.

"If you're afraid of anything, fool around first, and I'll just leave the rest to me. He said calmly: "Three years later, the Illusion Islands will not be surnamed Ye, and I will write the word 'Hundred Eyes Presiding Priest' upside down." ”

“...... Why are you so bad!"

"Hehe, this is called 'Outstanding family education forges aristocratic spirit'. ”

Watson took a sip of his teacup, his posture full of elegance.

But Ye Qingxuan had already cast the phenomenon to see the essence, and saw that the bad water in the chest of this thing began to bubble.

Regarding Watson's ability to do evil, Ye Qingxuan never had any doubts.

In just a few years, he went from a black musician to the chief priest of the Hundred Eyes, and later fought with the former shaman in various fields, relying on a group of corrupt aristocratic pig teammates, he was able to fight a good situation.

After becoming the current shaman, he turned Anglo's underground industry into an iron barrel in a few months, and was hailed as the savior of countless outlaws.

Not long ago, I gave him a sum of money and threw him out of the door, so that he could stir up trouble in the upper echelons of the Phantom Islands in a short time......

Thinking of what Watson could do with the support of the Fifth Department and the Inquisition, Ye Qingxuan felt a little headache.

Originally, Ye Qingxuan asked Watson to negotiate an alliance on the condition of participating in the war of Anglo as a mercenary, and the reward was the in-depth cooperation between the two sides, the transfer of industrial technology, and the alliance between the two sides to occupy the lifeblood of the future sea.

But now it seems that there was a misdirection from the beginning.

Fortunately, it's not too late to correct it.

Either way, he wanted to have a successful cooperation with the Phantom Islands, rather than completely killing them by forming an alliance.

Therefore, how should the two parties consider the relationship between the other party, how to return the customs taxes, and how to compensate with other terms......

Thinking of these questions, Ye Qingxuan began to have a headache.

But to his surprise, the Grand Master, who looked like an old lady, pondered for a moment before speaking, "We are willing to give up the conditions of the Anglo tariff, can we ask Your Excellency to give the same treatment to the Archipelago Illusion School and the Anglo Native School?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, put down the teacup, and his expression became serious.

"You want mid-level access to the Aether Web?"

-

The authority of the ether network is a layer made by Ye Qingxuan.

Among them, the supremacy that can be fully managed is in his hands, and he opens the upper authority to the royal academy and the Inquisition to operate the partition and each link, and later uses this as a condition to attract the Chainsaw Brothers for in-depth cooperation.

And the middle-level authority was given priority to a few schools that took the lead in taking refuge in him, and this opportunity was given to erect them as a model, and then Ye Qingxuan blocked the issuance of the middle-level authority, and the most that was issued was the lower-level permission.

Mid-level permissions, allowing them to freely upload and download music theory from various schools, is a small thing, but the greater power comes from the fact that they can build content in the Aether Web on their own.

With the large market that Anglo has built, they can rent a façade to sell their wares, and even more......

The implications are more far-reaching than can be predicted today.

gave the Illusion Islands, Ye Qingxuan was really a little uneasy in his heart.

It's fine to work with the general school, but the Illusion Islands ...... It really didn't make him feel at ease.

After Abandoning the Foundation and Leaving the Archipelago because of a disagreement with the Order, this group of fantasy musicians did not abide by the restrictions imposed by the Holy City like other schools, but instead relied on dominating the local natives to establish their own power.

The archipelago is managed by more than a dozen schools of illusion, and a grand master is elected as the leader.

For hundreds of years, their veins have stretched almost all over the world, and their shadows can be found in underground industries everywhere, and there are even several killer agencies that have opened branches in Angrone - by the way, Watson said that the brainwashed natives are really useful, and this method is worth learning.

A little digging through the history of the archipelago reveals the style of this group of people.

To put it nicely, there are no taboos.

As long as it's beneficial to you, you won't scruple about anything, even if it's to cooperate with the abyss...... It can be said that half of the reputation of the Phantom Islands is so bad that they have made it themselves.

And now the other side wants to use the five-year tariff in exchange for just a middle-level authority, obviously there are still ideas in the future.

Ye Qingxuan began to worry about whether he would lead the wolf into the room.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qingxuan did not reply on the spot after all:

"Well, let me think about it. ”

In the face of Ye Qingxuan's answer, the Great Grandmaster did not speak, but looked back at the leaders of the various schools behind him, four of the fifteen musicians were scepters, and the others were all masters who wore inheritance weapons and could temporarily possess the combat power of scepters.

It is clear that the status and majesty of the Grand Master overrode the opposition of the other musicians.

After a long time of tacit understanding, they understood what she meant, and several people looked at each other and reported several huge figures.

In the end, the numbers reported by everyone were added together, and after the Grand Master added almost half of them, it became an astronomical number that made people gasp.

Finally, the Grand Master looked at Ye Qingxuan: "As long as you are willing to sign a precept treaty with us, you will guarantee fairness between us and the local musicians, and you will not deliberately seek to seize the property of the archipelago and interfere with our status, and give us a certain policy tilt for the development of the King of the Aether."

Not only are we willing to open up the core music theory of our school, but we will also let the No Return Fleet fight for Anglo for free.

If you can open up the upper echelons of the Aether Web for us, not only will we not need Anglo to contribute a pound of gold, but we will also use the savings of the Phantasmagoral Islands for a hundred years to help you expand the reach of the Aether Web. ”

The money we take out will never be lower than the amount we just quoted you!

Whether it's the archipelago's mineral deposits, the treasures accumulated by the Illusion School over the centuries, or even our ship-building technology, we will open it to you unconditionally. ”

In the bridge, whether it was Ye Qingxuan or Watson, even the illusion musician behind the Grand Master gasped.

It's not low.

That amount of money alone is almost enough to catch up with the treasury reserves of Angru in his heyday!

Where is this alliance?

It's even more exaggerated than writing a petition to serve Anglo as the suzerain!

"Figure what?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, "Are you so optimistic about the ether net?"

The Grand Master smiled, and for the first time, the old female musician showed a happy expression, "What could be more valuable to an illusion musician than an illusory world?"

What's more, I had already experienced it myself before I came...... Of all the movements you've released, maybe two more have been contributed by me. ”

She pulled out a piece of iron that Ye Qingxuan was extremely familiar with from her pocket—the synergy terminal of the Aether Net.

After a short silence, Ye Qingxuan asked, "I really don't understand, why do you care so much about the Aether Net, what do you want?"

I think all musicians understand that what I'm doing is destroying the foundation of the musician world, and why would the Illusion Islands, as a vested interest, support me as a rebel?"

"It's simple, Your Highness. ”

The Grand Master said lightly, "All we want is the 'respect' we deserve.

As early as hundreds of years ago, it was suppressed by various schools and the Holy City, and was forced to lose its autonomy and the 'respect' that it lost when it left its homeland.

The Seven Families of Musicians are inherently superior, but why is the School of Illusion so much despised, and why do we have to decline if we don't emasculate ourselves like the School of Physiognomy?

For hundreds of years, we have endured the stigma of the world, and in order to escape repression, for the independence of the school, we did not hesitate to leave our homeland and hide in the archipelago.

In order to survive, he did not hesitate to launch raids, and in order to develop, he did not hesitate to be with black musicians...... In order to get rid of the entanglement of the abyss, we chose to ally with Anglo. Why can't we work with you for the longer term?

Unlike the great masters of my predecessors, I was not well-versed in music theory, not even an orthodox illusionist, but at best, a businessman.

For businessmen, whether it is investing in factories, industries, or countries, there is nothing more profitable than investing in the 'market'......

We have money, we have power, we have power, so why should we be dictated by the Holy City?"

Ye Qingxuan asked rhetorically, "Is there any difference between being managed by the Holy City and being managed by me? Or does the Great Grandmaster think that I am weak and can be bullied?"

Although the great master said that he was a businessman, Ye Qingxuan didn't even believe in a single punctuation mark, and last time there was an old man who said that he was an accountant.

The lessons that have always taught Ye Qingxuan have made Ye Qingxuan understand that these old people in high positions may be confused, they may be stupid, and they may occasionally be a little negligent.

But one thing is absolutely the same – they both know what they want, and they have the skills and ability to take the opportunity and never let it go.

He stared at the Grand Master in front of him, but it made the Grand Master laugh.

"Mr. Watson once said. In business, no matter what the situation, as long as both parties have intentions, business can always be negotiated. ”

She said, "I like that very much, because the Holy City would never say such a thing." ”

Ye Qingxuan understood what he meant.

After a long silence, Ye Qingxuan finally sighed softly, took the teacup and drank it all, and said, "Although the ether network is open source, I will not give its ownership to anyone.

In other words, no matter how much you invest and put your heart and soul into it, as long as I want to, I can easily erase it. If you can accept this, I can open up the upper authority to you. ”

The Grand Master didn't mean anything to object.

The foundation of the Illusion Islands is far beyond Anglo, even if Ye Qingxuan turns his face, what he loses is just the efforts of a generation and a little money.

What the Phantom Islands are trying to do is to maintain their historical status and restore their own legitimacy, which is a thousand-year plan, and a temporary loss is nothing, even if they fail, they are just nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the school, adding some trouble to their successors.

What's more, the value of the ether network lies in openness, in the contribution and accumulation of all people, and there will inevitably be its rules and systems, even the holder Ye Qingxuan can't attack the fantasy school for no reason. What's the point of an empty aetheric web if it takes everyone apart?

The great master is not afraid of failure, as long as the people are still there and the land is still there, he can always make a comeback.

As for the specific cooperation methods and management methods, we can discuss them slowly.

This is the best point of Ye Qingxuan compared to the Holy City.

In business, as long as there is an intention, there is a talk.

"Well, we're happy to work together. ”

The great master spread his five fingers, and in the palm print, the music theory of the way of discipline was intertwined, and Ye Qingxuan high-fived. With this as a witness, the two sides officially cooperated.

The general tone has been set, and the rest will be left to the people below to discuss.

Following the Chainsaw Monks, Ye Qingxuan once again tied the Phantom Islands to his chariot.

After that, the small talk becomes easier.

"Has the Grand Master figured out what he is going to do with his superior authority?"

"Prepared. The Grand Master asked, "Do you have any extra co-ordination terminals here?" I can show you. ”

Soon, several musicians handed over their terminals, and Ye Qingxuan served as a relay to connect the terminals of the Grand Master into a closed regional network.

"It's ugly. ”

The Grand Master activated his own music theory, and in an instant, everyone on the bridge was in a trance.

When they reacted, they were already in a pure white space.
