Chapter 879: Negotiations to Decide the Future (Thank You for Your Answers)
In the council hall of the Iron Fist City Lord's Mansion, the heads of the three empires gathered again, and Agulie, the prince of the Fallen Angel Empire, attended as a special guest.
This meeting is very similar to the peace talks in the Shadow Imperial Capital two years ago, but in just two years, people are already wrong, and they are still these four negotiators, but the situation has completely reversed.
At the beginning, the weakest Fallen Angel Empire, whether it was economic or military, was already an existence that the other two countries needed to look up to, in this case, in order to maintain the balance of strength, the Shadow Emperor Catherine should have been with the Blood Emperor Lei Chan, but this Empress Bixia surprised everyone, made an amazing decision at the martial arts conference, and tied herself to Agulie's warship, and the Shadow Empire was already an ally of the Fallen Angel Empire in a sense. Therefore, Lei Chan couldn't be calm, and took advantage of the fact that the three emperors were all in the Iron Fist Castle, and immediately made the decision to negotiate immediately.
For this negotiation, both Catherine and Xia seemed to attach great importance to it, and Catherine didn't even look at Chen Rui much, because she represented the Shadow Empire, and Chen Rui knew this very well. However, now there is no need for formal communication between him and her, and if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight.
As always, Thea and Catherine nodded to each other, without any special indication or hint.
Soon, the talks began.
There is no suspense, the central topic of this meeting is the "confederation system" mentioned by Chen Rui in the final, two years ago, Lei Chan was disdainful of this system of the Triple Alliance, and now it is forced by the situation to affect the life and death of the bloody empire. So Lei Chan had to bow his arrogant head and go back to this road. Objectively speaking. This novel system is indeed quite tempting, capable of a peaceful environment away from war. Let the three empires go hand in hand and truly develop together.
Chen Rui was also thinking about how to further improve this "confederation system" in combination with the actual situation of the Demon Realm during this time, and at the moment he said some of his thoughts and understandings, Catherine obviously did her homework accordingly and put forward some very constructive suggestions, more to fight for the greater interests of the Shadow Empire.
Xia also put forward her own conditions, the Fallen Angel Empire is currently the strongest empire, but all this is because of Chen Rui, according to Chen Rui's oath in the final. As long as the Confederacy is established, he will really withdraw and no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the Confederacy, so in order to fall into the long-term dominance and main voice of the Angel Empire in the future alliance, many aspects need to be adjusted and transitioned to further ensure their own interests.
Lei Chan listened at first, without saying a word, and then spoke again for the first time, against Catherine's proposal. The rest of the royal family Shili could join the Confederacy and have some independent say.
Catherine's intention was to "block rather than sparse", give the rest of the four major royal families that had fallen a place, fundamentally eliminate the causes of the turmoil, and fundamentally solve one of the causes of the turmoil in the demon world; Chop the grass and eradicate the roots.
This shows the characteristics between Catherine and Lei Chan, Catherine is not stubborn, just taking the hidden powerhouse who participated in the martial arts conference as an example. It is pointed out that the territory of the Demon Realm is vast, and it is impossible to completely exterminate the Broken Royal Family. One carelessness could also backfire by getting them involved in the Confederacy. It is not only Huairou, but also a strategy of retreating as advance.
Catherine's eloquence and planning were truly extraordinary, and Lei Chan could not find a more convincing argument, and asked rhetorically, "If those royal families insist on going their own way......
"Huairou is not weak and appeased, for those who destroy the peace of the empire and the alliance, they will be spurned by the whole demon world, and I will not be stingy with wielding the blood-stained butcher's knife. Catherine said lightly, but there was no hiding the murderous aura in her tone.
Lei Chan was very aware of the process of this "old friend" ascending to the throne back then, and finally nodded. After Catherine convinces Razen, the conversation shifts and the focus turns to the game of magic.
She put forward a special condition, which was to ask the Fallen Angel Empire to unconditionally share the magic game jishu and benefits, which were not only economic, but also military.
Some time ago, the military parade of the Fallen Angel Empire made everyone realize that the magic game is not only a huge cash cow, a special shijie to improve personal practice, but also an unimaginable "special forces" training base. Now that the Demon Spearmen and Constructed War Puppets have entered the official legion of the Fallen Angel Empire, it is likely that more troops will appear in the future.
Catherine deliberately quoted Chen Rui's original words - the original intention of the establishment of the Confederacy was to stay away from war and share peace, and the three countries would cooperate and promote each other in various fields such as economy and military. It is impossible to let the Fallen Angel Empire dominate the family, otherwise the true meaning of the Confederacy will be lost. If the Fallen Angels Empire is unwilling to share, then the magic game must be outlawed.
Chen Rui muttered secretly, the child's mother is really ruthless, but he will definitely not agree to ban it, magic games not only involve the economy and the military, but also related to his cultivation and collecting the power of faith, and even more related to the future of the demon world.
In the face of Chen Rui's veto, Catherine's attitude was extremely resolute, and she did not back down at all because of her personal relationship with Chen Rui, and at this negotiation table, she represented the interests of the Shadow Empire.
Lei Chan naturally expressed his support for this condition.
"The sharing of economic benefits can be considered, and the military can also be partially shared, but it is impossible for jishu, and it is even more impossible to ban magic games!" Chen Rui groaned slightly, and looked at the clerks and guards around him, "I'm not just for the benefit of myself or the Fallen Angel Empire, for specific reasons...... I can explain, but there can't be a fifth person present. ”
Lei Chan waved his hand, and except for the three emperors and Chen Rui, everyone retreated and opened the soundproof magic array.
"Let me explain first, my strength actually comes from a special inheritance, the ancient alchemy civilization. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia didn't need to say anything, Lei Chan and Catherine both nodded in unison, Chen Rui had personally admitted this matter to Catherine, and Lei Chan had also seen the huge sky city in the Vallock Fortress, plus many ancient guardians who appeared in the Fallen Angel Parade. It should all be because of the ancient alchemy civilization, which can also reasonably explain that Weishenme "Agulie" can become a great alchemy master who caused a sensation in the demon world. In other words, the unusually explosive increase in the strength of "Agulie" is also due to this.
"The jishu principle of the magic game is actually a fantasy similar to the kingdom. The user can get the real training and cultivation effect in the illusion world, and each game helmet has a secret crystal, which stores a certain amount of life magic power, and once the magic power is exhausted, it must be re-injected. That's why the game weishenme has to be recharged. The power of the realm of illusion is not the same as the realm of super-level powerhouses, but a special liliang generated by the central life crystal of the ancient alchemy civilization, which no one can control and use except for me, the inheritor. So, Katherine Bixia just said that sharing jishu. It is impossible to achieve either theoretically or practically. ”
Catherine and Lei Chan had actually sent someone to study the magic game a long time ago, and they had also tried to "copycat", but they all failed without exception, so naturally they could hear that Chen Rui's explanation was not perfunctory.
"In fact, I didn't develop this magic game not just to gain money or to train a small number of controllers of the Ancient Armament, but for another reason, an important reason for the future survival of the Demon Realm. Chen Rui naturally classified the "magic spear" into the ancient alchemy civilization. In fact, the magic spear was created by him based on the magic gun blueprint that Elven Grandmaster Fenoa and the late Dwarven Grandmaster Rick had researched, combined with his limited knowledge of firearms in his previous life. The magic guns in the game are actually still at the semi-automatic level, and the "Crystal Phoenix" has successfully developed a fully automatic rifle. And the lethality is even higher.
Chen Rui's next goal is to develop a more suitable and powerful firearm (such as the Demon World version of the Desert Eagle, the Demon World version of the M200 Intervener, etc.), although it cannot replace the personal cultivation and force of the strong, it can increase the combat effectiveness of ordinary people several times or even dozens of times. Or it will also spawn a corresponding "class" as in the game.
Now that guns have entered the stage of this plane. is destined not to be obscure, and he is convinced of Chen Rui.
"Is it about the future life and death of the Demon Realm?" Even Lei Chan couldn't help but interject: "Are you sure it's not alarmist?"
Chen Rui shook his head. With a solemn expression: "Have you ever heard of the term 'abyss'?"
Lei Chan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, while Catherine frowned and said, "I have studied ancient texts, and the word 'abyss' represents 'taboo' in ancient languages, but the specific meaning is not clear. ”
"Taboo?" Chen Rui remembered that Tetnes seemed to have said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and it is better to explain it in words than to ...... Verify it with your own eyes. ”
As he spoke, a faint blue light appeared on Chen Rui's hands, and everyone felt that the scene around them had changed, and they were already in another place. The three of them were not idle people, and they soon understood that this was just an illusion cast by Chen Rui, and as soon as they settled down, the scene in front of them made the three of them shocked.
Endless fiery red, filled with suffocating heat, and in sight was a torrent of tidal waves, a torrent of strange creatures.
These biologically speaking, individually, are not very strong, they are about the high-level demon level, but what is terrifying is the infinite number, millions, tens of millions, billions?
After the increase of those weird safflower liliang, the strength of most of the creatures jumped to the level of the demon king to the great demon king, surging forward, and there were hundreds of translucent creatures with a body length of more than ten meters and a height of about six meters in front of them, with strong limbs and long tails, which was exactly what was seen at the parade, the ancient guardian crystal giant beast of the demon emperor level.
The Demon Emperor faced the Demon King or the Great Demon King, undoubtedly sweeping, and in the surrounding circle of force fields, hundreds of enemies were wiped out, but when facing millions, tens of millions, or even billions of Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings, the force field of the crystal giant beast seemed so insignificant, and it was soon completely submerged in the terrible "sea tide".
Judging from the steady stream of 'sea tides' that followed, this kind of creature is just a relatively low-level existence, and no matter whether it is a high-level or low-level creature, it has only one characteristic, and that is destruction.
Everywhere you go, there is no life left, only a scorched earth.
The image gradually thinned, and the three emperors returned to the meeting hall, and Chen Rui's voice rang out: "This is the liliang of the abyss, what you see is only a small part of the tip of the iceberg, I can honestly tell you that the powerful alchemy civilization of the ancients includes many other civilizations that I don't know...... They were all completely destroyed because of this. ”
Although Xia had seen this image for the first time, she had heard a few words about the abyss in Chen Rui's mouth before, and she was somewhat prepared in her heart, but Lei Chan and Catherine saw the horror of the abyss for the first time, and their eyes were full of shocks that could not be concealed.
The two of them realized one thing at the same time, facing such a terrifying abyss, if it was the entire demon world, no, plus the ground shijie, I was afraid that it would ......
Chen Rui's next few words made the faces of the three emperors change at the same time.
"The bad news, as far as I know, the Abyss Clan still exists, but for some reason they have been sealed somewhere, and over the years, they have been trying their best to return to this shijie, which is called the 'main plane' by the inheritance. There are quite a few believers in the Demon Realm who secretly worship the Abyss, and I have destroyed more than one Abyss altar. The existence of these people is even more terrifying than 'blood annihilation' for the three major empires and the entire demon world. Here is a bold assertion that the return of the abyss, I'm afraid, ...... It's just a matter of time. ”
"Could it be that those monsters and dungeons you set up in the magic game ......" Catherine's mind turned quickly, and she immediately reacted when she thought of the relevant information of the magic game.
"Clever," Chen Rui smiled slightly, unceremoniously praising his woman, "There are quite a few monsters and special copies in the magic game, which are created to imitate the characteristics and habits of abyssal creatures, in order to deal with the abyssal calamities that may arise in the future. I hope that even if we leave this shijie one day, our descendants will be able to maintain strong faith and the most effective combat effectiveness in the face of these terrifying creatures that suddenly appear. ”
Lei Chan's eyes finally changed when he looked at Chen Rui, and he showed respect for the first time.
Catherine and Xia, who knew Chen Rui's true identity, felt even more deeply, and looked at him with a faint tenderness in their eyes.
"Here is the woman I love, there are my friends who share life and death, this is my home, and I will spare my life to protect it and everything I cherish. ”
This man, not only said that, but has been doing it.
Although he is a human being, this is the demon world, but this is his home, the real home. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for your answer about the motherboard, when I got home, I already called, opened the case, and found the heat sink near the graphics card, which should be the south bridge (I haven't touched the hardware for many years, I always thought that this board had a separate north bridge, ashamed), but this heat sink was half covered by the graphics card (N card, Rainbow Flame God of War GX650). I touched it when Master Lu prompted the motherboard temperature of 99, and found that it was indeed a little hot, but it was far from the level of 99 degrees, and then the Kingsoft hardware detected the temperature 37, and the next ASUS came with AISuiteII showed the MotherBoard temperature of 37, which should be a false alarm by Master Lu, and I was finally relieved. Thank you very much for your help, I have a specialization, and I really didn't even get half a bucket of water, ha.
Due to the limited conditions, there is no air conditioning in the room where the computer is located, I don't know if I want to install a case fan to help cool down?
