Chapter 136: Collecting Debts from the Queen
Link's high-profile behavior outside Starlight City suddenly spread, "The mysterious man riding the blue sè giant eagle quickly attracted the attention of the higher-ups, after all, a great chaos has just ended, the kingdom is in ruins, it is a sensitive period, and anything can cause chaos."
In the palace, Sylvanas was also quite puzzled when she learned about this, but Link was gone, and she didn't know what was going on, but she vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
So what about Link now? In fact, he didn't leave, after leaving in a high-profile manner during the day, he hid, and at night, he quietly returned to Starlight City alone, because he and Sylvanas still had a ledger to settle.
I saw that after Link sneaked to the vicinity of the palace, his body disappeared into the shadows, which was the assassin's stealth technique!
With all kinds of powerful subordinates at hand, how could Link not learn some useful stunts? This stealth technique is one of the skills that Link has learned a long time ago, but this technique belongs to the original Sora Kong World and needs to be pushed by Dou Qi, so although he has learned it, he has never been able to use it.
Until now, after Link's power has become the power of the Saint Immortals, it can be pushed regardless of whether it is produced by the system or something original to the Sora Kong World, and it is completely the power of the golden oil, so the stealth technique can also be used.
Moreover, Link's stealth technique is even more sophisticated than his master, AltaΓ―r, under the impetus of the Holy Immortal Power, Link can almost completely hide himself, and as long as there is a little yin shadow can take effect, it is difficult to detect his aura below the ninth order, and it is almost comparable to stealth technique.
In this case, Link took advantage of the darkness of the night and almost swaggered into the palace without attracting anyone's attention, and made his way to the outside of the imperial study.
After taking control of the sub-kingdom, this room that was once only used by kings became Sylvanas's special office room, and in the face of a lot of anxious things, Sylvanas would go to bed late every day, or even not sleep at all, when Link saw her, he found that she was much more haggard than the previous one.
However, this will not arouse Link's pity, it will only make Link more unhappy, especially after Lin Xi and the others were forced to stay in the wasteland space, Link always wanted to make Sylvanas pay the price, so Link immediately quietly came behind Sylvanas, revoked the stealth technique and said in a playful tone: "Father God is above, Princess Sylvanas, we meet again." β
As soon as these words came out, Sylvanas' eyes widened and her muscles tensed, who was it? He could come behind her silently!
Almost without hesitation, Sylvanas immediately got up and turned around, and a red curtain of light appeared around her, which was the effect of her explosive wealth mysterious skill 'King's Treasure, and when she found out that it was Link, she couldn't help but be stunned: "It's you......! οΌβ
"I'm quite disappointed that I didn't die when I came to the princess's palace. Link had a sarcastic smile on his face, a reaction that made him sure that he and the others had been killed by Sylvanas.
A trace of guilt flashed in Sylvanas's eyes when he heard this, but then he returned to a cold posture and said: "Nir Night, since you survived, the king is not bad for talking nonsense with you, the black dragon's breath before death was deliberately beaten by the king, it is the king's test for you, since you want to be on an equal footing with the king, then take out the strength that rivals the king!"
The smile on Link's face became even stronger after hearing this: "Yo ho, this king, I haven't seen you for a few days, Her Royal Highness the princess has become Her Majesty, then I am really rude I have to say, Her Majesty's majesty will test me, okay, since Her Royal Highness the princess wants to test me, then I will also test the princess." As soon as the words landed, the coercion of the Holy Immortal Power was released, and the terrifying coercion suddenly enveloped the entire palace, and suddenly, except for a few people, everyone else was pressed down, and even Sylvanas looked uncomfortable.
Unlike the dragon power of the black dragon in Dangri, Link's coercion is stronger than that of the ninth order, and it is targeted at xing, facing this kind of coercion, Sylvanas will not work, and through this pressure, Link has noticed Sylvanas's true strength, she is actually only the peak of the sixth order, not even the seventh order, but she is carrying the inheritance treasure of the ancient sage, so she can kill the enemy by leaping over the level when the conditions are met, but if she really wants to be one-on-one with the ninth-order powerhouse, the coercion alone can make her lie down, and the power crushing is not so easy to change.
In the face of Link's unsympathetic oppression, the arrogant and treasured Sylvanas also swayed.
At this time, the mysterious master who had been hiding in the shadows couldn't sit still, and he suddenly jumped out, but he didn't dare to make a move on Link, but stood in front of Sylvanas for Sylvanas's low-level coercion, which was an old magician with a goatee in a robe, with a white head and white beard, and quite a feeling of fairy wind and bones, but in the face of Link's suppression, his face was very bitter, and he could only try to release the coercion and resist, and his coercion turned out to be at the level of the middle of the eighth order.
In Link's eyes, he couldn't help but feel crooked, no wonder the protagonists in those novels always like to use Wang Bazhi's qi to suppress people, it is indeed a cool and crooked thing, especially when his own strength is actually weaker than others but he can suppress the other party, it is completely a model of pretending.
Link, and then at Sylvanas, who had a painful face, the old magician took a deep breath and said, "Great Archbishop Neil, please forgive Her Majesty for her previous offenses, we are willing to pay any price to make up for our mistakes!"
After hearing this, Link retracted his 'Eight Spirits' and then said with a look of "I'm a strong party", "You're the mysterious master hiding next to Sylvanas? β
This disdainful remark made both Sylvanas and the old magician a little angry, but they couldn't get angry, because Link's momentum was definitely qualified to say this, even if he was dissatisfied with them, he could endure it.
The old magician had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Great Archbishop Neil, I'm sorry, old man ......" Speaking of this, he paused, feeling that it was not good to call himself an old man in front of Link, so he temporarily changed his words: "My name is Charles Green, as you know, I am Her Majesty's teacher, I apologize to you for Her Majesty's previous offense, I hope you can forgive." Of course, we also know that it is useless to just say it with our mouths, so, as I said earlier, we are willing to do our best to compensate you. β
"Oh, then how are you going to make amends?" Link said flatly, as if he was persuaded by Charles, in fact, this was his purpose at the beginning, with his apparent ninth order peak, in fact, the strength of the early seventh order was not enough to fight against the two in front of him. The purpose of his trip was just to make Sylvanas pay some price first
Yes, that's it, and he will slowly grind with Sylvanas in the future, so that Sylvanas can understand the consequences of calculating him.
Hearing that Link Ken accepted the compensation plan, Sylvanas and Charles's hanging hearts were relieved, and then Sylvanas pulled Charles's sleeve and took over the topic: "Twenty million solas, as long as the Kingdom of Stars exists for one day, the city of gods will be tax-free forever, and the right to rule by gods also belongs to the Father's Religion, in addition, the Father's Religion is tax-free for twenty years, and after twenty years, it will also be permanently taxed one,"
Link couldn't help but be secretly frightened after hearing this, needless to say, the right to rule is actually already part of the Father's Religion, but the Father's Religion's tax exemption and tax reduction have a big meaning, with the current development rate of the Father's Religion, the tax exemption within 20 years will definitely save a lot of money, and after 20 years, the Father's Religion will never face financial pressure, you know, the general church's taxes have to collect 30% or even 50%, and the Father's Religion will definitely make a lot of money.
What? Why not permanently exempt from taxes? Just kidding, do you want to make this country finished? In the future, the Father's Church will become the state religion of the Kingdom of the Stars, and when only the Father's Religion is left in the country, the tax exemption will inevitably cause turmoil in both the country and the church, after all, at that time, many people could evade taxes in the name of the church, which was not good for the church or the country, and it was easy to exacerbate the conflict between the divine right and the royal power, and Link and Sylvanas knew this, so Link was already very satisfied with this tax reduction policy.
But that's all in the future, and what really surprised Link was that Sylvanas actually dared to take out 20 million solas directly.
The Kingdom of Stars has never been a rich country, at most it can only be regarded as a small rich, and the national tax revenue in a year is more than 34 million solas, and the total tax revenue of more than half a year has been taken out at once, and it has just ended the scourge of war, it is the time to burn money, isn't Sylvanas not afraid of financial collapse?
The arrogant Sylvanas did not intend to hide this question, and said in a natural tone: "This king has inherited the treasure of the ancient tyrant Gilgamesh, and he is the king who owns one-third of the wealth of the Ou Rui continent, so how can this king, who inherited his wealth, be short of money? Hmph, this king lacks everything now, that is, he is not short of money, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem for this king." β
β...... All right. Link can only do this, in fact, he wants to say, 'Hehe, yes, this kind of standard local tyrant speech is really enviable, jealous and hateful!'
However, now that he knew that the other party was a local tyrant, Link naturally couldn't let go of Dazai's opportunity, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, your compensation is indeed very rich, but since you know that you and your teacher's lives are very valuable, you shouldn't think that this is the end, right?" You know, what you have done is already blasphemy and offense to the Father, the great Father is merciful, but not pedantic, for the blasphemer, he will not hesitate to give divine punishment. β
The implication is that I am not satisfied, and then the compensation will come out!
Sylvanas could naturally hear this roundabout rhetoric, she couldn't help frowning slightly and said in a cold tone: "Then what do you want?" Although this king has a lot of treasures, but if too many solas flow out at one time, it is easy to cause inflation, this king doesn't want that kind of situation, and 20 million solas is enough for your father to squander for decades, are you still not satisfied?"
Link said with a divine expression: "Father God is above, I naturally don't want more money, Father God said that money is something outside the body, just enough, 20 million sola is enough for me to teach many things." So, in order to make up for Her Majesty's blasphemy, please use something else to offset your sins
By the way, there are many good things in Her Majesty's royal treasures, so let's take some out of them as compensation!"
