Chapter 149: The Conquest of the Wise
"Adonis, you have watched me grow up, since I was five years old, I have lived almost in the royal library, where you once worked, you know, I have read all the books in the library, do you think I or Downs Wharton, who is more educated?" Wang Xu asked Adonis in a low voice, and when he asked, his tone was full of warmth.
"Your education is higher, and Lord Downs's vision is far less than yours!" Adonis replied in a hoarse voice.
"Very good, objective enough, then let me ask you again, over the years, Downs Wharton has investigated me very thoroughly in order to kill me, do you think that with the strength that I can kill the Grand Magister in seconds, Downs Wharton is my opponent?" Wang Xu asked Adonis in a low voice again.
"No, Lord Downs only has the strength of an archmage, and compared to you, it's far behind!" Adonis replied, spitting out the blood in his chest, coughing in a hoarse voice.
"Then let me ask you again, the forces under Downs Wharton are just mercenaries recruited by taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the snowfield orcs in the form of bribery and hiring, and my subordinates are all people who have been with me for almost twenty years, and now, relying on my personal charm, I have married a female law god, a female law saint, and two ninth-order succubi, do you think, does Downs Wharton still have the ability to fight with me?"
"Well," Adonis replied after lying in the pit, closing his eyes to the sky and muttering for a moment, "Originally, we still had the strength to fight you, but now, I have found out." We're no match for you at all!"
"Since you understand everything, let me make it clear. In terms of knowledge, foresight, experience, strength, and power, Downs Wharton is inferior to me. Do you think it's worth it for you to bet on him the hope of revitalizing the elven race, why don't you follow me, he is hopeless, he will fail, I still have a glimmer of hope, how about it, think about it!" Wang Xu sincerely suggested.
All the time. Wang Xu never thought of killing Adonis, in Wang Xu's opinion, in the world of Loren, a wise man like Adonis is too rare, he has a deep attainment in strategy and tactics, and belongs to a first-class high-end talent, it is a pity to kill him, although it is also dangerous to keep him, but. Wang Xu was still reluctant to kill him.
"Hmm......" Adonis snorted for a long time, not answering Wang Xu's question.
Hearing the strange sound of Adonis snorting, Wang Xu immediately pouted and smiled silently, he understood. Adonis didn't answer himself directly, which showed that he hesitated, and he was weighing it in his heart. As long as you add a little bit of your own strength, it's likely. I recruited him.
"That, Adonis. We are all smart people, I know what you are thinking," Wang Xu persisted to persuade him: "Do you think that Downs Wharton is stupid and easy to control, so he has been following him, but have you ever thought about it, he is so stupid, even if you try your best to assist him, it may be that the bamboo basket is empty, and he can't become the climate." Wang Xu began to use a trick, directly using the trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, saying what Adonis was thinking, and even explaining the essence of Downs Wharton.
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Adonis, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of incredible gazes, it was obvious that Wang Xu guessed his mind, it was because Downs Wharton was stupid, easy to control, and easy to use, he rebelled with Downs Wharton, and besides, Downs Wharton couldn't do without him, and without him, he couldn't do anything.
Wang Xu, who had been secretly observing Adonis with a psychic paper crane, knew that he was about to succeed after seeing the exaggerated change in Adonis's expression, and he would be able to convince him immediately.
"Adonis, it's different with me, although no one has the ability to control me, but I'm not as selfish as Downs Wharton, so greedy for power, I think you also know that as the lord of Hill City, I don't interfere in the management of any affairs in the city at all, I completely delegate power to my subordinates, almost don't ask, do you think, Downs Wharton can do it?" Wang Xu hit Adonis heart again.
"Heh, heh......" Adonis suddenly laughed, laughing very lightly, "You are not greedy for power, nor are you delegating all power, all this is your means, you have delegated power to your subordinates, let them contain each other, fight each other, so that you, who are at the core of power, do not have to worry about someone overthrowing you and someone calculating you." ”
"That's right, I never deny that everything I do is my power, but, at least, I gave them a chance to go up, and had the pleasure of being in power, and, unless they betrayed me, I never suppressed them, so it is very happy to work under me, no need to look at my face, no need to ask my attitude, as long as you are loyal, whatever you want, whatever you want!" Wang Xu finally told him the ultimate condition for buying Adonis.
"Ahem, ahem......" After coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Adonis said to himself with a sad face: "It's really hard to follow Downs Wharton, not only to look at his face, but also to swallow his anger, he doesn't know, his decisions are almost all wrong, and he lacks foresight, and the most helpless thing is that he is lonely and doesn't like to listen to opinions, this is really ......" Adonis shook his head slightly, and complained as if recalling.
As soon as he heard that Adonis had changed his name to Downs Wharton, and instead of calling him by his first name, Wang Xu understood that he had succeeded, and that he had conquered the wise Adonis.
The four Nilou daughters, who also saw this, all stared at Wang Xu's eyes silently, and their eyes flocked to Wang Xu, with all kinds of complex emotions, Wang Xu saw that these emotions not only contained admiration and amazement, but also contained the meaning of love and appreciation.
Glancing at the eyes of the four girls who seemed to want to swallow themselves, Wang Xu was a little fluttery again, and unconsciously, a trace of arc hung on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes narrowed.
Zana was still the most sober, she patted Wang Xu's arm violently, and then, raised her left hand and pointed in the direction of Adonis.
After being reminded by Zana, Wang Xu retracted his wandering thoughts, and once again, turned his attention to Adonis, who had not spoken for a long time.
Adonis's right arm turned into a vine, groping for something on the ground, and suddenly, he touched the empty slave contract that Ramirez had left behind after his death.
The vine rolled up the slave contract and shrank to Adonis, where he reached out and grabbed it, then, with his restored right hand, picked up the quill that Ramirez had fallen to the ground after his death, and signed his name on the contract.
After signing, Adonis threw the slave contract to an alchemy puppet on the side, and after the alchemy puppet brought the contract back to Wang Xu, Wang Xu also signed his name on the contract, and at this moment, Adonis became Wang Xu's person.
With a "......buzz", a black figure burst out of the thick smoke of gunpowder, and before Adonis could react, the figure stuffed a black booger into his mouth...... (To be continued.) )
