The top floor of a Chinese-style building, although it was in broad daylight, was dark, because the doors and windows here were so closed that not even a trace of sunlight as thin as a hair could penetrate it.

Here, a bunch of tables were gathered in a circle, and only a few people sat in the cold, bringing a glimmer of light to themselves by the dim light of the oil lamp, and they either did not say a word to each other, each thought about their own things, or two or three gathered together, and talked quietly.

It's a good thing that there is no such thing as cigarettes in this world, otherwise, in such a closed space, it might be a smoky scene at the moment.

However, Lin Jue, who suddenly came up with this idea, really plans to find out in the future whether there is such a cash crop as tobacco leaves in the world, after all, once cigarettes are promoted, the establishment of a cigarette factory is equivalent to the establishment of a banknote printing factory.

This is the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion of Dawning City, and the people who sit here are all city lords or representatives of the various colonial city-states of the human race in the Eastern Continent.

Today, these people are gathered here to discuss a major matter, this is about the human race in the Eastern Continent, no, it should be said that it is a major event about the fate of the entire human race in this world, at least in Zhu Huan and Lin Jue, as well as some people of insight think so.

The reason why I say this is because there are very few people who are actually here today to attend this meeting. According to the previous statistics, there should be 34 people present.

However, Zhu Huan looked at the entire room, including the only twelve people in him, but he gritted his teeth.

"These bastards, if they are in trouble, let my Yan Empire take it, and once they are needed, they will hide deeper than rats. ”

Twelve people, who came and who didn't, it is clear at a glance. Coincidentally, the representatives of the five major powers of the Central Continent were the only city lords representing the Yan Empire sitting here. The others didn't come as if they had made an appointment.

As for the reason why they didn't show up, it was obvious that since the crisis had been resolved, no one would have enough to eat and listen to the orders of Zhu Huan, who was one of the competitors, otherwise, in a sense, wouldn't this be a bow to the Yan Empire? Even if it was just an invitation to come over for a meeting to discuss something.

No matter what kind of magic empire he is, what kind of crisis in the whole world, I'm sorry, they don't think about it so much, in their opinion, this is just the alarmist rhetoric of the Yan Empire.

What's more, in the past few years of ice and snow crisis, only the Yan Empire has paid tens of thousands of lives to experience it, although the colonies of other countries have been attacked, but the losses are within an acceptable range, after all, the loss is only a few hundred, a few thousand, and they are all civilians. Why bother with such a small number of ordinary people?

As for Zhu Huan's thoughts at this time, although Lin Jue guessed it, his mind was not here at all. After all, what should be said and what should be done has been done, and at this time, unless a knife is put on their necks, there is no possibility of inviting them to leave, but if there is such an opportunity, there is no need for this meeting.

What Lin Jue was thinking at this time had nothing to do with the content of this meeting.

Sometimes, once a person comes to a dark environment, or a relatively isolated environment, the thinking will become very divergent, in other words, the person's brain hole will become very large.

Lin Jue had a lot of ideas at this moment, but after thinking about it, there was only one place to return in the end, a hamster.

In the past few days, Lin Jue has been trying to find a way to torture the poor, cute hamster.

Man is a very magical creature, and its magic comes more from everyone's emotions, personality, hobbies, and events experienced, among them, there is a very common emotion, that is, fear.

When the target of the fear can be determined, the mood tends to change, for example, from fear to hatred.

Obviously, in this world, there is a kind of creature that can make Lin Jue feel extremely terrifying, that is, rats, although this kind of creature is petite, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a creature that can threaten the survival of humans, but in Lin Jue's opinion, any mouse is a giant beast of the wilderness.

Similarly, Lin Jue has a hatred for rat creatures in addition to fear.

In just two weeks, for the sake of this poor little hamster, Lin Jue has almost broken with the ladies completely. Because during this time, this hamster often disappeared for no reason, and when it was found, Agnes found, more or less, that there were traces of Lin Jue's existence.

When the first disappearance was found, the hamster appeared in the soup pot in the kitchen.

The second time, the little hamster was tied to the wheels of the carriage at the inn.

When the little hamster was found the first two times, the ladies could still bear it, but when it was discovered for the third time, if Lin Jue hadn't run fast that day, many years later, maybe whenever he thought of this, Lin Jue would get up from the wheelchair excitedly.

Because the third time, the place where the little hamster was found was on a barbecue grill.

In this regard, Lin Jue seemed very helpless, that time he worked very hard, endured the goosebumps that were churning all over his body, and roasted it with a blazing charcoal fire for two or three hours, but this little guy's life was really hard, not to mention that it was cooked, and he didn't even burn much hair.

And now, Lin Jue is thinking about what means to use to deal with this little guy next time. Or, be ruthless, get up and down, and have a good time?

But now he is just thinking about it, for this little hamster, his hatred has not diminished, but the idea of having to put him to death is gone, after all, this is a hamster that can be roasted by fire for two or three hours, and not even much hair has fallen.

"Well, maybe it's more cost-effective to catch and sell it for money. ”

"No, it's a pity to sell, if you can't survive in the future, organize a live show, charcoal grilled hamster, sprinkle a cumin a gold coin, throw charcoal and roll a circle, ten gold coins, brush a layer of oil and then roast, the price will be doubled, and you can also let customers actually operate it themselves, one hundred gold coins at a time, as long as you make sure not to be played to death...... No, it's better to be played to death!"

In fact, no matter how much Lin Jue hated it about the origin of this hamster, he still consulted a lot of information with others, but he still had no clue.

Although I don't know where it came from, with Agnes by my side, I discovered its ability to increase the magic level of the monster envoy (a human who has signed a contract with a magical creature) by his side, and raise it by a whole level.

In other words, as long as she signed a contract with it, Lin Yue's strength would immediately be able to rise to the talisman she coveted.
