The core of Nether City, where there is an area, surrounded by magic towers, is a bit like a temple arrangement, empty. However, this is not to form any sense of mystery, all the magic towers are intertwined with magic lines, intertwined in the center of the clearing, the house in this location is only two floors, and the area is not too large, but the internal space division is quite exquisite, and there is a formation to expand the space.

In the small building, the city lord of Jonny faced the family elders around the round table, reporting the details of the communication with Rhode Island.

"Jonny, they asked for the Nesser Rough Stone, it was for imitation. ”

It was not the patriarch who sat on the throne, but the actual administrator of Nether, a great magician who was close to level one hundred and eighty. He looked like he was in his thirties, and it was at this age that he became a legend.

When he spoke, he was calm and steady, without the slightest hint of a strong man's aura, just like an ordinary butler of a nobleman.

Everyone around the round table agreed.

Jonny was stunned and said, "They only need the amount of one set of armor." ”

"Alas, you still underestimate Rhode Island, not to mention the amount of armor, if you give them a hand shield, they can imitate it. If the Nesser rough is not easy to imitate, we would have taken it out long ago. ”

"Then I'll talk to them again. ”

"Not necessarily. The chief elder said: "Rhodes Island likes the Nesser Rough Stone so much, so he gave them the formula and let them keep it strictly secret, and the secret method is the same as that of the Nesser, and no Nesser Rough Stone is allowed to flow out." ”

"Great Elder!"

The elders around the circle all shouted, and the chief elder sneered, "Aren't you reluctant? You haven't thought about it, why should Rhode Island help us? Is it irreplaceable for us?"

As soon as he said this, half of the elders immediately began to ponder, and the rest, although still dissatisfied, stopped clamoring.

"There is no irreplaceable place in Nether, we exist on the western coast and have our own power because we are strong enough. And now, our strength has been challenged, and we must join forces with others to protect our own interests. Before, we kept secrets as part of our interests, but now, even if we have the Nesser Rough, can we be independent of it?"

"Great Elder, but, Rhode Island will give them our Nether rough if they want it, don't you need to reciprocate?"

"Think about it carefully, when did Rhode Island not give something back to others?" said the chief elder: "Rhode Island gives returns, which are basically equivalent, not high, nor low. If we don't take the initiative to ask for something, then we can still calculate the favor, and if we take the initiative, it doesn't matter if we ask for a high return. But that's not what we need, we have money, and we're never short of money!"

Feeling that his voice was a little higher, the Chief Elder paused before continuing, "Do you think I'm currying favor with Rhode Island?"

Because of the lowering of his voice, his words were extremely serious compared to his previous tone.

Jonny just shook his head, and among the elders, a few of them lowered their heads and acquiesced.

"I'm a person who never shows my face, what are I doing to curry favor with Rhode Island?" the Chief Elder sneered: "Everyone here, each of you is responsible for a part of Nether, you don't have to please me, I'm going to curry favor with Rhode Island?"

When he said this, his tone was extremely serious, and the few elders who were singing the opposite tone all raised their heads with empty hearts, their faces full of innocence.

"I'm still discussing this with you because I'm afraid that you won't be angry and go to Rhode Island for trouble. Some of you have been at the pinnacle of power for so long that your brains are broken?"

"Beat the elder, why do you say that, if Rhode Island is strong, what good will it do us Nether?"

"If you make enemies with Rhode Island, it's no good. ”

"Why can't we be enemies of Rhode Island?" the elder was still unconvinced.

"Then turn your face?" the Chief Elder sneered: "If you want our Nether Rough Stone, I can use this as a reason to break with Rhode Island immediately, as long as you support me, I will start a war within an hour and drive everyone in Rhode Island out of our territory." ”

The elder was stunned and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

"Then what do you mean?" said the Chief Elder, "Choosing to form an alliance with Rhode Island is a thousand-year policy, and it will never change. ”

"But the benefits for Rhode Island are too many!"

"Rhode Island now has four legions in Nether, and has also sent an additional fleet, Floating City, to defend Nether against demonic attacks. If Rhode Island doesn't care, the demons that land from our side will have to pass through the Gaude Academy and then through the City of Juno before they can reach the area controlled by Rhode Island. When I tell you this, I feel like there's something wrong with my brain, and it's a person who understands that Rhode Island didn't help us for their own safety. ”

"For the Union. Jonny said.

"That's right, for the Union. The Chief Elder said, "Alliance, it means that our interests are aligned, and the purpose of unanimity is to win the entire world. By the way, I've heard that some people want me to leave this position, and I have too much say in it, and that's how I responded to it. ”

After the Chief Elder finished speaking, the three Neser Elders present suddenly stiffened, and blood seeped out of their pores and ran down against their skin.

None of the three elders had expressed opposition to him before.

"I'm not the strongest, but I say yes, if you have any opinions, you can go and mention them to the patriarch, don't try to make trouble for me below. ”

In the conference room, there was silence.

"My power is still too small, look at Metatrin, now that he is thriving, after uniting with Rhode Island, he dares to show his true power to everyone, why?"

"Because in this era, there is no need to hide yourself. Jonny said.

"Yes, when Juno III is too powerful, everyone has to hide, but after Angelina became the empress, the situation in the empire has changed, not only do we not need to hide ourselves, we also have to take the initiative to show strength. Nether needs a unified voice, no infighting opposition. ”

The three elders who were still bleeding were not shocked, but what shocked them was that the body of the chief elder emitted a strange fluctuation, which made everyone's hands and feet numb, and even their souls were frozen.

"You guys, it's just too easy. With that, the Chief Elder stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"Great Elder!"

"I'll leave the matter to you, and from today on, you will take the place of those three dead people. ”

"Yes!" Jonny was overjoyed, originally after this year, he would be able to occupy half of the elder seats, and he could not participate in normal meetings, so he could only vote on the sidelines. Well, now that he has three voting seats, a lot of things can be implemented.

"You do it well, as long as you don't betray Nether's interests, I will support you in anything. ”

The Great Elder was far away, and Johnny looked at the elders present, and suddenly felt that he was the only one who was the city lord, and at least one city was under his own control. Sitting in the elder seat, it seems that he is at the peak of power, but there is only one real peak, and that is the Great Elder.

"I like consensus. Sith laid the papers on the table, took out the magic pen, and wrote his signature.

The magic paper automatically divided into five layers, three of which were on fire, one of the two layers fell into the hands of the Sith, and the other fell into the hands of the dean of Nether Academy.

The dean of Nesser College, and one of the Elders, was arranged to come over and sign a transfer agreement with Rhode Island.

The technology behind the manufacture of the Nesser rough was sold to Rhode Island, where the recipe could not be divulged or re-sold. All Nesser rough stones must be strictly monitored, their whereabouts must be registered, and if there is any loss, Rhode Island will be responsible for compensating for the loss, which is an astronomical amount.

But this agreement is just a thousand years, and after a thousand years, Nether doesn't think so much about it.

Similarly, Rhode Island has deconstructed the technology of high-metal robots and biocyborg to Nether, and Nether is also subject to the same protocol. This is a two-party contract that neither wants to break.

Rhode Island's return gift exceeded Nether's expectations.

It is also because of this that the position of the chief elder is more and more secure. He was right, Rhode Island's return gift benefited Nether. What Nether needs most at the moment is robotics.

Biochemical robots are a matter of the future, and the manufacturing speed is not fast, but high-metal robots are a sharp weapon against demons.

"Dean, it was still the original plan, and the production was realized in half a month. Rhodes will then send an independent order of knights to Nether to help, and only take charge of the city. If the demon enters the city, the Knights will be dispatched. Floating City, just withdraw to the academy, after all, the area of the academy is relatively small, one floating battleship is enough, and about a legion of marines will be arranged on the battleship. ”

"I can't repay it. ”

"The Nesser people will solve the matter of the Nesser, and we are just making up for the lack of troops. The alliance is called one, but in fact, it is necessary to support each other more, not just shout slogans. Today, Rhode Island has supported Nether, who knows what will happen in a hundred years, and then maybe Nether needs more care. ”

"You are open-minded, and you don't say polite words. ”

"The more I socialize with Rhode Island, the more reluctant I am to say polite words, and the other day, someone from Metatrin came over and asked me for more than a thousand biochemical robots. Such a big thing, just write down an account and leave. ”

"What are they going to do with cyborgs?" the dean of Nether House wondered, Metatrin wasn't on the front line, and it wasn't time for war yet.

"I think it's to maintain the southern border, the cliff layer is very high, and there are more problems with human patrols, if it's appropriate, people should come soon and buy more biochemical robots. ”
