For the fourth time in three days, the Taysren family held a high-level meeting to discuss the issue of the teleportation array.

"The magic circle that Master Tang Seng used to transfer is a secret stronghold, and he made it clear that it is impossible for us to use it. We didn't see the circle at all, and we were directly in the air, I don't know how high it was from the ground. It was night, and although there was some light, I couldn't see what was going on below. I felt the legendary wind, and before I could think of what to do, the master had already activated the second teleportation. "For the fourth time, Chief Mage Nîmes stated what he had seen and heard.

"After teleporting to Sanzang Town, I only had time to look around. It was night, so I didn't see the legendary sun. However, I saw the legendary moon and stars, as the book says, the moon is like a round cake that has been bitten off, and there are many, many stars twinkle and twinkle, but I haven't studied them carefully before, so I can't tell what constellations there are. There was a very, very wide view, there were no walls on the top, in front of and in front of me, and I could see the legendary sea about two kilometers away, but the sea was calm, there were no legendary waves, and there were a few boats parked on the shore, but they were all small, not the legendary sea ships. The feeling of the air by the sea is also very different, there is a smell of water. About three kilometers away from the stone and wood platform where we were, there was a forest of the surface world, I teleported over to look at it, it was completely different from ours, they were all tall trees, I could only recognize a willow tree with obvious characteristics, the branches were long and thin, the leaves were somewhat similar to the knife, green, very much in line with the books I had read. ”

"The houses in Sanzang Town are very different from ours, they are made of stone and wood, there are very few of them, and I have seen very few people, except for a few goblins and gnolls who seem to be patrolling. ”

"As I was anxious to get the results of the experiment, I quickly teleported back, and I didn't see anything else, and the grass, branches, stones, and shells I had picked up had all been handed in. ”

Next, Chief Mage Nîmes spent another thirty minutes detailing what he had seen and heard in less than three minutes. Including the size and color of the moon, the size and appearance of the woods, and so on. Then, everyone began to discuss whether it was necessary to implement the teleportation function.

That's right, that's what this meeting is about, and it has nothing to do with what Chief Mage Nimes spent half an hour talking about before.

No way, the dark elves are also curious. There is no passage to the surface very far from Faturi, and no one has ever been to the surface world. Although he knew that the Sanzang armed merchant group came from the surface of the earth, he would be suspicious of this statement, second, he felt that he was too far away from him and it was unreal, and third, except for Farah and Shadurielna, no one here could pull down his face and ask them this.

"A third function is needed. Dahni was the first to take a stand. The first function is positioning, the second function is receiving, and the third function is to transmit outward.

"Without a third function, we simply don't have the ability to actively go to the surface. Not only is trade restricted, but in the event of any accidents, it is likely that it will lose contact with the surface. Therefore, it is still necessary to rely on the function of the thing itself. "Actually, what Daheni means is that as the eldest daughter and a priest, she can only perform a fifth-order divine skill, and she can't go out or come back with her current functions alone. This is simply too intolerable for her, who is the only one who has the potential to inherit the position of the main mother.

"If you have to add a third function, I think, is it for Master Tang Seng to create a new one? Of course, Chief Mage Nim wanted to keep his special status, but he also knew that he couldn't be the master, so he could only say something else, "The second function is extremely important to us, and judging from the performance of the master, when he adds the third function, it is very likely that the performance of the second function will be greatly reduced. If you reduce it too much to be usable, the loss will be too great. ”

The crowd was silent. Although Mike had vowed that there would be no problem, he had also sworn that there would be no problem before he built the No. 1 jewel with a positioning point with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer, and before activating the connection circle and causing the performance of the positioning circle to deteriorate.

"In this case, the cost is quite high, can we still afford it? Not to mention that we still need to build a matching positioning and connection circle on the surface to use it, not to mention whether the master is willing to pay for it himself, just say that there is only one teleportation gem, we can't use it indiscriminately." What's more, we have to consider other possibilities, didn't Nim once say that a level 5 leyline node had been discovered, and the straight-line distance didn't seem too far. After a long time, the silence was broken by the Kliwen Martial Arts Chief, and he didn't want to add a teleportation function, whether he could teleport or not, the chances of the warrior going on a business trip would not change, so it was better to save a lot of materials.

"Alas, it never occurred to us that we would be bothered by such a good thing. "The lady of Taysren felt that she could not imagine that in the last thirty or forty years of her reign, she would have such an opportunity.

"One thing I must remind everyone is not only to focus on the immediate interests, but to take a long-term view, start from the interests of the family, and think about what to do to be better for the family. Because sitting in the position of the main mother, I need to look out for the interests of the family more often, and this time is no exception. That's probably why I've seen something that you haven't realized yet. ”

"This circle is extremely meaningful to the family. As long as we can make good use of this magic circle, we don't need to compete with each other for a small amount of benefits like before, and everyone can gain a lot. We can greatly expand the scope of the territory to the limit of the effect of the induction circle, so that the family can obtain more resources, and we can safely retreat when encountering danger again, making it easier to accumulate strength. ”

"There is also the rich surface world, although it is very unfriendly, but even if we can't gain a foothold and can only trade, our harvest will far exceed that of all the families. As long as nothing else, in Dahny or even in my hands, we have enough power to turn Fathuri into the city of Terrence. ”

"Finally, I think we've all been a little overexcited lately, and we're not overlooking anything. Let's go back and think about it, and we'll talk about it another day. ”

Mistress Terrence decided to break up the meeting first, and everyone's way of thinking suddenly couldn't change, and they still wanted to fight with their own people. Moreover, this pie is a little too big, which makes her faintly uneasy,

When the meeting reconvened, everyone became very uneasy.

The amount of enchantment used for positioning jewelry and teleportation circle is already very large, and the protective circle on the periphery is improving, and the amount of enchantment is by no means inferior, and the family's soul fragment stock is not much, mainly relying on the initiative of family members to peel off during this time. Due to the large amount of consumption, even if the whole clan has been mobilized, there are still more than 100 members who have experienced a decline in the caster's level. Although most of the declining members were weaker members, it still had a great negative impact on the strength of the family. Although the family has recruited more than 200 new member candidates for the preparation of the surface trade, the quality is not too high and it cannot be used immediately, and what is even more worrying is whether this is also part of the conspiracy, and it is necessary to investigate them again.

Therefore, the focus of the discussion at this high-level meeting of the Teslun family became whether the Sanzang armed merchant group deliberately used this as bait to weaken the family's strength in a short period of time, so as to achieve some kind of scheme, and even help other families eliminate Teslon.

"Since the manufacture of Jewel No. 1, Master Tang Seng's performance has been normal, at least in our opinion, otherwise we would not have been able to keep the plan going until now. Chief Mage Nîmes was the first to speak, "However, even without the conspiracy, the power of the family has been significantly weakened. Therefore, I propose to freeze the third function-related plan. As long as you maintain a good relationship with the master, it is not too late to ask the master to help when the conditions are more suitable. ”

This time, even Dahni, who most wanted a third function, did not object, and the proposal was unanimously approved.

"My personal opinion on responding to the crisis is to consider it in two ways. If Master Tang Seng and the merchant group did not have a conspiracy against us, it would be very easy to do. Ask the Sanzang armed merchant group to garrison, and the family can survive the weakening period safely. Chief Mage Nimes continued.

The crowd agreed. The merchant group is quite strong, and the power to offset the family's losses is more than enough.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chief Mage Nim continued to speak: "If there was a conspiracy, the family would have been deeply involved in it a long time ago, and now its strength is obviously weakened, and the other party's conspiracy has succeeded most of it. As long as the family refuses to continue with the follow-up plan, the other party will immediately know that we have detected it, and the next thing is just a thunderous blow. ”

That's what everyone is worried about. Continuing to plan is tantamount to striding into a deeper trap, and not continuing to plan is tantamount to asking the other person to do it. I only hated being blinded by interests before, and I didn't think that I should slow down the progress of the plan.

Seeing that everyone had no disagreement, Chief Mage Nimes continued to speak: "As the early executors of the conspiracy, whether we ask them to leave or not, the possibility of participating in the later stage of the armed operation is equally high. However, we can't preemptively do it to the merchant group. On the one hand, it is likely that there is no conspiracy, and that our actions are purely self-defeating, and will ruin the friendship between the family and the master. On the other hand, the reason we discussed earlier is that the Masters and the Merchant are included in the list of non-hostile. ”

The crowd was silent.

The family had discussed how to deal with the Sanzang armed merchant group, and the conclusion was that Mike must be assassinated first, otherwise his powerful killing spell against people would definitely cause great casualties to the family members. There are roughly two options for how to assassinate Mike, both of which have carefully evaluated the success rate.

One is that while Mike is sleeping, the people who accompany him carry out the assassination.

One is to assassinate the person next to him when he was with Mike.

But they found that Mike had a lot of vitality and couldn't guarantee a lethal hit. At the same time, he can instantly launch a level 4 spell, even if he is unprepared, he is likely to immediately use the ball to protect himself or escape from any gate. The conclusion is that the success rate of both options is only about 50%.

Mike was able to teleport to the surface world and obtained the positioning jewel, which can be described as coming and going freely, and once he kills but does not die, he will suffer endlessly. Therefore, the family put him on the list of non-hostiles.

Seeing that there was no objection, Chief Mage Nimes spoke again: "Since it is not advisable to act first, then we might as well think about it from a different angle and actively take other measures to stifle the possibility of conspiracy." Although there are a few masters in the business group, the overall strength is only similar to that of a small and medium-sized family. As the third largest family of Faturi, what benefits can we not give, but we must unite with others to frame us to get it?"

"You mean?" the Tysren Mistress had a faint sense of Chief Mage Nimes' thoughts.

"As long as we do this, so, so, and so, we will definitely be able to cooperate sincerely with the business community. "Chief Mage Nîmes has his thoughts and thoughts. "The family can also take this opportunity to absorb new blood, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"That's a really good idea. Shadurella, do you think the merchant group will accept it?" Mistress Tesren pondered for a moment, feeling the need to ask for more extensive advice.

"I think the Chief Mage's plan is very feasible. However, I learned from Cecilia that the major decisions of the merchant group have always been based on the opinions of the master and Thrall. Now that neither of them are here, I'm afraid Goku won't be able to decide alone. Sadurilna felt a fire burning in her heart, and she could barely keep her voice calm. Chief Mage of Nîmes' plan must be executed!

"You go ahead and give it a try, but don't rush things up. The mistress was helpless, "Dahni, you start preparing for the new residence and related matters, otherwise it will be useless for the merchant group to agree." ”

The current location of the merchant group is not ideal. Because there are a large number of people and they are always training, a place is arranged that is convenient for training and will not threaten the family, but there is no way to take care of other aspects.

Now it's even more difficult to juggle other things. One option is to build a new station for the merchant group, and the other is to exchange territory with the weaker families nearby.

It's ridiculous to say that the dark elves of the jungle are more protective of the weak families than human society. Each family wants to become stronger, but each family is also afraid of the rapid expansion of the strength of the other families. Therefore, it is permissible for two powerful families to challenge each other, and it is also permissible for two weak families to merge, but merging between powerful families or attacking and annexing weak families by powerful families is strictly forbidden, and violators will be immediately defeated by the parliamentary coalition forces.

Swapping territories between powerful and weak families is a workaround. The environment of the underworld is complex, and the newly occupied territory of the clan may not be suitable in terms of location and resources, etc., and exchanging with other clans can be a win-win situation, so it is impossible to prohibit it. Such an exchange must be agreed upon by both mistresses, and in general, the family that accepts the offer benefits more than the one that makes the offer.

Now, if Daheni wants to find a new location for the mercenary group, the first choice is to exchange territories. It took a long time to build a large construction project, and it was not suitable for the Teslen family, who were in dire need of recuperation. The bargaining chip exchanged was the Lizard Cave, which had just been occupied for just over two months with the help of the merchant group - after all, it would take time and manpower to develop it, and the family was currently in short supply.

This can't help but make Dahni lament the impermanence of the world.

Ever since the fall of the Second Family, the Teslons have been trying to capture the Lizard Cave, but have been unable to do so for thirty years. Now that it has been finally occupied, it is about to be handed over again, and it will be replaced with a merchant group station that can be built in the long run, and at most some resource points of far less value will be added.

Alas, everything is for the good of the family......

"I can't decide this kind of big thing alone. As Shadurillna expected, Goku adopted a delaying tactic, "According to the predetermined plan, the merchant group will leave soon after completing the agreement with your family. ”

At the same time, Goku's brain is racing to determine the possibilities and how to choose. Whether it's the Tesron family or Faturi City, Goku doesn't pay attention to it. After more than two months of his tavern career, he already has a clear understanding of the strength of the dark elves. Although the mercenary group is far inferior in terms of overall strength, the worst result is that the conspiracy is exposed, and the whole city is defeated, and he and Mike and others can teleport and escape. Faturi is neither a crushing master nor a crushing master, so he is not much of a threat.

Goku doesn't know what kind of conspiracy Mike has, but he has seventeen or eighteen conspiracies of his own, although most of them are petty fights with a low success rate and many conflicts, but there is indeed a good opportunity to take advantage of the declining strength of the Tesren family to collude with the fourth family to destroy such a feasible big plan. He's refining the plan these days, and he's going to discuss it when Mike returns.

But now, the Taysren seem to realize their recklessness and have taken the initiative to make a very heartwarming proposal. What to do?

"In that case, can you be sure when Master Tang Seng will come back?" Shadurilna was helpless, this Tai Chi pusher couldn't deal with it at all.

"Mike will be back in a few days, and I guess he's probably talking to his partners there about trade, and he'll be back when that's done. Goku thinks Mike should be busy with business, but it's hard to say whether it's a trade discussion or a conspiracy. However, it is completely possible for him to conceive his, and I conceive mine, and then choose according to the situation.

"Before he comes back, we can discuss a few options based on your family's proposals, which will save time. ”

"That would be great. Sadurellna thought she was going to be disappointed, but she turned around.

According to the preliminary plan, Daheni found three families. Although they are all vassals of the Tesron family and have always had a close relationship, their first reaction is still the same: Is there some conspiracy among the Teslons?

The value of the Lizard Cave is clear to all Faturi families. However, due to various reasons, it was not until more than two months ago that it was defeated by nearly 2,000 people mobilized by the Taysren family and allies.

Now, the lizard cave, which I never thought I would have a chance to touch, is suddenly in front of me. Although a large area of the station must be built in the future, the station can be built, but the cave cannot be built. Although the near-term value cave is slightly inferior, its long-term value is very large. Maybe the purpose of the Tesron family is to let others build a lot of buildings, expose weaknesses that can be attacked, and support a new puppet family to attack?

The exact decision-making process of the three families is unknown, but after receiving a promise of protection, they all agreed to the proposal of a territorial exchange. But the specific family to exchange, Dahney can't decide at the moment, because he has to wait for Mike to come back to see which plan he wants to adopt.

Either way, however, the purchase of slaves is very necessary, and there must always be some cannon fodder in war.

PS: I saw a post somewhere that said that I stabilize the monthly change, obviously it is a weekly change, don't lose 3/4 all of a sudden.
