Chapter 1144: Confidence

For the local people of Odorin, the accident at the smelter built by the Dodd Group gave them an extra conversation after dinner, and they gloated about the losses of the Dodd Group in this disaster, and at the same time bet when the Dodd Group would withdraw from the city of Odorin, and by the way, they also mocked the residents of Odorin who joined the smelter for high wages and are now killed.

Although Odorin City is a new city composed of outsiders, because of some deliberate propaganda carried out by the top management of the city, most of the residents of Odorin City think that they are pure Odorines, and everyone else is outsiders, which makes Odorin very xenophobic, and even thinks that any outsider is taking advantage of themselves.

Under the influence of this xenophobia, the presence of the Dodd Group in Odoline was naturally seen by the locals as some kind of invasion.

Although the Dodd Group was able to obtain a cursed piece of land as the basis for the construction of the factory, after the factory was built, it was unable to recruit workers in the local area, because the locals believed that working in the Dodd Smelter was enslaved due to xenophobic sentiment, and the cursed land was also prohibitive to the locals.

The land on which Dodd Group built its factory has been an urban legend in Odoline since the day the city was rebuilt, and whoever built any building on that land would inexplicably collapse and destroy not long after it was built.

The city government of Odolin has also thought of various ways to solve this problem, after all, this land is located in the center of the industrial area of Odolin, the area of the area reaches one-third of the size of the industrial area, it is a very large land, so empty here, it is an unbearable waste for the interior of the city of Odolin, which is already very tight on land.

It's just that both the church and the shaman have sent people here more than once to perform various rituals such as exorcism, divine descent, blessing, etc., but the result can only be calm for a while, and then the building should collapse, or will it collapse.

When Dodd Group learned that the land it used to build its factory was such a cursed land, many people within the group expressed their opposition, and those who survived the fog disaster had seen all kinds of mysterious and terrifying things, and knew very well that anything related to the curse was a big problem.

Although being able to settle in Odolin will allow the Dodd Group to break through the high walls built by various forces on the Moisan Continent and extend its cause and influence to the south and the wasteland, which will play a pivotal role in the subsequent development of the Dodd Group, but if it is at the cost of provoking the curse, whether this matter is cost-effective in the end is two words.

However, the matter eventually ended the heated discussion at Sylvia's behest, and the Dodd Group still chose to settle in Odoline, not caring about the urban legends of the Cursed Land.

In the eyes of onlookers, the Dodd Group's decision was because she couldn't resist the temptation to expand to the south, but in fact, Sylvia's purpose in making this decision was more to use the matter of Odoline's Cursed Land to lure out all kinds of restless forces inside and outside the group, as for Odoline's factory, she had already planned to destroy it from the beginning.

It's just that many things don't go the way Sylvia wants.

She had foreseen that it would be difficult to recruit workers in the local area, so she pretended to increase the wages of the workers every once in a while and made it appear that she wanted to hire locals, and at the same time used this reason as an excuse to delay the opening of the factory, until more than ten days after the recorded curse had occurred, she transferred a group of workers from other places and hired workers from the local heavily recruited to get the factory up and running.

Originally, she had been as careful as possible, and various safety measures had been put in place for each new factory to be opened, and other factories that were already in operation were temporarily closed, so as not to cause serious casualties when the curse occurred.

However, to everyone's surprise, including the locals, the curse did not occur until all the smelters were opened, and many people thought that the curse had disappeared, and they were extremely jealous that Dodd Group had obtained such a large piece of land for nothing, and that even Sylvia felt that the curse might have really disappeared, so she went south to inspect the factory.

What she didn't expect was that she had just arrived in Odolyn on the second day, and there was an accident in the factory, which caught her off guard, but fortunately she had already expected this, and had a corresponding response plan, which could control the loss to a minimum, except for the smelting furnace where the giant was located, which had been completely destroyed, leaving only a cooled iron pool, the main buildings and equipment of the other factories were preserved under the effect of various protective measures, and the actual loss was not as huge as it seemed to the outside world.

It's just that Sylvia didn't tell the actual situation of the current factory, and the content announced to the public was deliberately vague, giving people the illusion of huge losses and immeasurable losses, and then she quietly waited for those with ill intentions to jump out on their own.

In addition, she didn't take the great shaman of the Muling Society and others who were caught by Leo to the Muling Society to ask for the guilt, because she knew very well that this would not only not make the Muling Society admit her actions, but would very likely be bitten back by the Muling Society, so she imprisoned the shaman of the Muling Society, and sent people to the Xinbodo area through a floating boat on the same day to be locked up, and later used as a bargaining chip in the future to attack the Muling Society.

As for Leo's trump card, she didn't leak it, because once the news of a demigod standing next to her spread, those hidden poisonous snakes probably won't come up again.

She no longer has the patience to play those tricky power games with these poisonous snakes, not to mention that now that she has Leo's hole card, she really can't think of any reason not to take this opportunity to take this opportunity to get rid of those poisonous snakes hidden in the grass at once.

Under Sylvia's deliberate operation, the unfavorable news about whether the Dodd Group should continue to build a factory in Odoline and the obstruction of the compensation for the victims was spread out, and it didn't take long for the news that the Dodd Group was ready to withdraw and leave, and even the compensation for the victims was unwilling to pay.

Immediately afterwards, a large march against the Dodd group began to brew in the city of Odolin, and all kinds of trade union leaders and politicians jumped out to accuse the Dodd group, and for a time the Dodd group became a rat crossing the street in the city of Odolin.

Later, the city government also sent someone to meet Sylvia, as if they wanted to ask Sylvia how she planned to solve the matter, but she was sent back without even seeing Sylvia's people.

The city government also deliberately leaked the cold reception of the local people, which further angered the local people, and the agitators hidden among the people also took the opportunity to start leading the march to no longer be limited to the factory area, but to start marching towards Sylvia's residence in the city of Odoline, but they did not know that Sylvia was not in a villa in the rich area at the moment, but on the top floor of the American Galica National Tax Building in the business district, where they could overlook the entire rich area, and the procession that walked slowly on the streets was as small as insects。

The reason why Sylvia appeared here was not because the government of the Kingdom of America and Galica had become her collaborator, but because the director of the Odolyn IRS was a pawn that the Dodd Group had already planted in Odoline, and even the tax army of the IRS was an armed force secretly controlled by the Dodd Group, which was one of the reasons why she had the confidence to lay such a huge trap in the first place without worrying about messing up.

"Shouldn't we close the net?" Emily asked as she looked at the restless people surrounding Sylvia's villa, and although it was part of Sylvia's plan, she still felt offended, and asked Sylvia as she was working on the papers.

Sylvia did not respond to the inquiry immediately, but carefully read the documents in her hand, quickly wrote down the solution, and then handed it to the secretary beside her, then shook her head and said: "It's not time yet, what jumps out now is just some outcasts, and the people who are really playing chess behind their backs haven't finished yet, we will close the net now, and we will only catch some small fish and shrimp, and the real big fish will immediately slip away when they see that the situation is wrong, and it will be difficult to catch them next time." ”

"Actually, you don't have to be angry at these people who can't see the situation clearly. At this time, Su also walked to the window with a glass of wine, overlooking the flow of people below like a god looking down on all beings, and said: "The minds of these people are still immersed in the past, thinking that they can influence the situation by virtue of public opinion and numbers, but they don't know that as the extraordinary power has become a universal force, the impact of the number gap has gradually weakened, and the powerful power possessed by individuals is the key to the direction of the world situation." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Leo, who was sitting on the sofa next to her and quickly flipping through various materials and books, and said with a little envy: "In the case that the gods cannot directly descend into the world, the demigods are the masters of this world, and the unrestricted demigods are even more unimaginable. ”

Sensing that the topic shifted to him, Leo raised his head and added, "I can only be regarded as a special case, if there is no accident, it is impossible for the world of Velen to have a second special case like me again." ”

The reason why Leo used a special case to describe himself was because he had discovered from the information he had collected about demigods during this time that he, a seventh-level psionic equivalent to a demigod, was a very special existence.

According to Sylvia's analysis, although a demigod like him is slightly weaker than other demigods, he has no restrictions from other demigods, which means that he is a demigod who exceeds the rules of the world.

In this world, there are restrictions on any demigod, such as the swamp gods, which can only exist in the Black Forest swamps of the Hanoverian Union, and can only appear in front of the cultists in the form of natural spirits, not physical bodies.

The Ice Queen of Dyyat is different, she can be said to be a demigod walking in the world, she has no intention of being a human when she appears in front of everyone, but she is also restricted, that restriction is her ice and snow kingdom, her demigod power can only be fully exerted within the scope of her ice and snow kingdom, once she leaves the ice and snow kingdom, even if she only crosses the border, her power will instantly fall out of the realm of demigods.

As for the demigods recognized by the other Orthodox Churches in the Velun world, and the demigods and evil gods of the underground church, they will all be subject to various restrictions, and some of them are even fatal.

In the world of Velon, there was a legend that a farmer stabbed a demigod to death with a pitchfork, and for those underground forces with an ancient heritage, this is not a legend, but a fact, as for the reason for this, it is because the demigod violated his taboo and did something beyond the limit, so coincidentally, he died on the pitchfork, and the pitchfork also became a holy relic because he killed a demigod, and it has been secretly collected by the Orthodox Church.

It is precisely because the restrictions of demigods are very deadly, so some people who are already close to the level of demigods will be very entangled when they take the last step, and the representative figure is the king Elector Saran.

So far, the Chosen King, Saran, has not become a demigod like the Ice Queen, because of all the concerns in her heart, and seeing that the situation is not forced to happen, she is afraid that she will maintain the status quo for a long time to come.

So when they learned that Leo had become a demigod, Sylvia and the others were a little curious about what kind of restrictions Leo would have, but they didn't take the initiative to ask, because after all, this was a matter of life and death, and even Sylvia felt that she shouldn't know about it.

It's just that when Leo read some information about the demigods, he found out that he was different, so he took the initiative to tell Sylvia.

At first, Sylvia naturally didn't believe it, after all, this kind of thing had never happened in the past, and it wasn't until she tested Leo's strength through some Orthodox methods that she was sure that Leo was indeed a special demigod who would not be limited by the world.

This matter is naturally a good thing for her, a demigod already has enough deterrent power, and an unrestricted demigod has even more than ten times more deterrent power, even if Leo, the demigod's power is slightly weaker.

Emily and Sue were also extremely surprised when they learned about this from Sylvia, and even after several days, the surprise and envy had not completely subsided.

Leo didn't want to shift the topic to himself, so he quickly found a new topic and asked Sylvia, "Why didn't you let me arrest those assassins sent by the Church of the Lord of the Sky yesterday, with those assassins in hand, the advantage of negotiating with the Church of the Lord of the Sky will be much greater in the future." ”

"Those assassins in the stabbing parlor are unlikely to let us capture them alive, even if you do it. Sylvia shook her head, then sneered, "And we don't need to do anything to deal with them, the people of the Muling Society hate the people of the Sky Lord Church who stabbed the living room." ”
