Chapter 488: Persuasion
The scene was extremely embarrassing, and the student was still ignorant, Xia He said to Corleone again: "This student, I will protect it, and when the matter can't be hidden, I will take him away." Don't you want to do such a thing, he's a student of my academy, do you understand?"
Corleone is also embarrassed, but this student is also a level 20 great magician, and he can't escape from the monitoring here, and the secrecy should still be possible.
The Blood Mage said that he was not allowed to kill, so he had to consider the consequences.
When the student heard Xia He say this, he immediately understood that he knew something he shouldn't know, and he was frightened.
"Don't be afraid, if you die, there's nothing to talk about. Xia He comforted the student.
"Headmaster......
"Don't worry, the county king isn't a murderer, right, Corleon?"
Corleone said in his heart, the king of the county is not, but you are, what can I do. He thought about it left and right, and felt that it was already like this anyway, and he could only hope that the blood mage would not leak the news. It stands to reason that it probably won't, because the stakes are too great. One more day of concealment, and the Blood Mage will be able to gain a lot of wealth.
Xia He thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, I said that my caravan was intercepted and killed in the underground world, and I was very angry, because there was no way to transfer troops from Storm Point for the time being, so I borrowed the manpower of the county king to help me retaliate." This doesn't need to be documented, let's just talk about it, what do you think?"
Corleon thinks it's good, the blood mage's temper, the empire knows it, this excuse is too reasonable.
The idea of others is that the blood mages lack manpower and want to capture slaves in the underground world. The whole thing was seamless.
The Blood Mage looked quite sensible and left the students behind, trying to make sure that the news would not leak out.
"Thank you, Principal. Corleone finally changed his name and was no longer called the Marquis of Xiahe.
The students were taken away and a mining agreement was signed between the two parties. The manpower that the county king can lend to Xia He is also limited, and Xia He has to find his own way if he wants to expand the mining area. According to this distribution agreement, five percent of the county kings that Xia He can collect are considered to be too much.
However, it is also clear in the agreement that Xia He wants to increase the number of people, and he can transfer people from Cape Storm, or he can capture people from the underground world as slave miners.
Xia He left Su Xue behind and guarded the temporary marquis's mansion instead of him, and everything was at his disposal.
Xia He really didn't want to stay here, Qiu Xuanji got something in the crack, he was in a hurry to deal with it, and now he can only seal it.
Besides, some of his resources have to be transferred to Freya, and it makes no sense to carry them with him.
Only Freya can make a lot of equipment for him and design things that don't go unnoticed by the Dao Palace.
It's not that you can go, the king of the county will transfer the supplies, match the people of Xiahe with the demon deer, and divide the chariot. The magic cannon Xia He still wants one, and he is afraid of encountering the demons of the brigade. If Su Blood wanted to stay, the strength of the entire team would drop a lot.
The magicians on the county king's side could only endure Xia He and fully cooperate, but it took an extra day for Xia He's team to withdraw from the underground world.
Outside, the snow had stopped, and the students' interest was not very high, because one student was missing, and it was said that he had fallen into a crack.
It was supposed to be a damage-free trial, but it ended up missing a companion.
Both Mรกrquez and Elaine blame themselves for not being with their classmates lately, but instead doing tasks outside alone.
Xia He didn't persuade either, and blindly marched in a hurry, until he arrived at the fortress, and his heart could be considered to settle down.
In the past, he got any benefits, and something was going to happen immediately, and this time he was afraid of accidents.
When he arrived at the territory of the county king, Xia He still went to the fortress to visit.
Snowvis quietly met Xia He alone, and in his study, Xia He saw a magic rough stone on the table.
"Alas, this thing is really ...... Difficulty waking up. Marquis of Asla, you see, such a small piece of it is probably worth hundreds of gold coins, and there are so many buried in the ground, how can I not hide it. โ
"Your Highness, you and your subordinates have a way to get in touch. โ
"Of course, otherwise how can I control the situation. You're lucky, my man himself said it was a slip of the tongue. How does the Marquis think it is best to deal with this matter?"
"Of course, I will hide it first, and if I can hide it for a few years, it will be a few years. โ
"What if one day you can't hide it?"
"Your Highness, we are all half-dimensional people, right? Build a magic tower in the half-plane, create a golem legion, make a constructing legion, get more magic cannons, and store resources in the half-plane, who dares to say anything? Anyway, the things in hand won't be spit out, it's a borderless land. โ
"However, I am not willing to let others get involved. โ
"I'm all involved, can't His Highness kill me?"
"Marquis, what are you kidding, you are the one who can summon the legendary fire demon. Snow's thinking is not shy about it, the implication of his words is that if Xia He is weak, he will be dead now.
Xia Hexin said, in a few years, myself, two Daomen gods, five gods, plus two apprentices, can all be legends, who am I afraid of. The main thing is that these legends are not affected by the will of this world, and they are in a hurry, and they dare to kill ordinary people under the legends.
"Your Highness, if you really want to occupy it, give me the profits. I'm a pioneer lord, and I have the right to occupy land outside the empire, including all kinds of mineral veins, so that's no problem, right? Anyway, just declare to the outside world that this place is mine, and Your Highness can take the lion's share. โ
"How much should I take?" asked Snowvis.
"It stands to reason that it must be five or five. After Xia He said this, Snowvis's murderous aura was sharp.
Xia He said casually: "But if Your Highness occupies the territory in this name, everyone knows what's going on, in addition to Your Majesty, you have to have filial piety, you also have to find an academy as a backer, my academy doesn't have that much ability, I don't know who Your Highness can contact?"
"I have a good relationship with Metatrin. โ
"Then divide them again, it is impossible for them to take the benefits for nothing. โ
"That's all there is to it. Snowvis gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness, don't feel distressed, can't we still mine for a period of time in advance, this is what we earn. Later, when His Majesty and Metatrin endorse him, he can fish for a while. For such a long time, how much income His Highness will have should be calculated, right?"
Snowvis groaned, Xia Hedao: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I dare to ask for fifty-five points is because I have a way to mine quickly." โ
"What did you say!"
"The magic rough can't be mined quickly, it's for fear of disaster. However, if I can make a mechanism to mine this thing, I will lose 5/10,000 more raw materials, but it is better than giving it to someone else, right?"
"It's just five ten-thousandths!" Snowvis excited, if the place was his, and no one came to disturb him, he said that he would not be willing to lose anything about five ten-thousandths. But in the underworld, it's different, and if someone else starts a war about it, he can't hold it.
"Your Highness, I won't produce the drawings, I will provide the mining machinery, forty percent of the income will be owned by His Majesty, and the remaining sixty percent will be divided equally between the three of us. Your Highness may think that I have too much to share, but Your Highness wants to think about it, the day the news was leaked, I was the one who resisted in front. โ
Snowvis thought about it, and this is also the truth, he can divide 20% of the mining volume without doing anything.
"Then listen to you, by the way, or when we divide the benefits......"
"Don't, my machine, is four or five times the normal mining speed, this thing can't be hidden, you can't kill all your men and slaves, right? Your Highness, it is impossible for one person to make all the money, besides, Your Majesty's side, you will only be interested in magic rough stones, there must be a lot of associated mines there, and the two of us can divide the associated mines." It is also not a small benefit. โ
"Very good!" Snowvis finally turned a corner, he could not lie to His Majesty the Emperor, and he did not try to deceive the Metatrin family.
The consequences were not good, but Asra was thoughtful.
Xia He saw that he had figured it out, so he was relieved. People must not be blinded by interests, and be careful that there is money to spend.
It doesn't matter if Snowvis is stupid, he is also involved this time, and he will be implicated.
The matter of mining machinery is not a difficult thing for Daomen. The main purpose is to prevent the magic rough from being intensified and causing a mining disaster. The magicians didn't have a good way to solve this matter.
As for the distribution of profits, Xia He is already ready to contact Freya and ask Freya to create ghosts and gods and go down to steal them. There is no problem with the magic rough stone in the jade mine, there is no fear of explosion, and the jade is not so hard, and it can be started in any way.
After negotiating things with Snowvis, Xia He refused to stay in this place, he told Snowvis that in a month, there would be his own people to send to the mining machinery, and then the shaft would be turned. Now he is starting to capture slaves from the underworld, and if he is willing to take refuge, he can hire them directly.
Xia He simply borrowed a medium-sized floating airship, loaded all the students on it, and flew all the way back to the academy.
He will continue to pay attention to the affairs of the underground world, and Snowvis will not turn his face with himself for this matter. The leak didn't do him any good.
After returning to the academy, Nicholas came to Xia He to report on the school.
Xia He listened patiently, made replies one by one, and then went back to the dormitory. His dormitory had been renovated I don't know how many times, isolated from the inside and outside, Xia He still released a magic tent, added a safety guard, and then summoned Medirli to come in with him.
Xia He took out an egg the size of a basin from the badge. This egg has a black base with few white spots on it. The strangest thing is that on the outside of the egg shell, sparse hairs have grown.
At the top of the egg shell, there is a soul-calming talisman pasted, which is the handwriting of Qiu Xuanji.
Qiu Xuanji said: "I found it under the crack, about twenty miles deep. There was no monster found in the lair, but I was so frightened that I grabbed an egg and ran out. โ
