Chapter 51: Conditions
"But......" Cha Mo looked at the city lord of Ophelia, "if it is true that those 'who are dying' have extraordinary strength, then attacking them with your strength is not an egg hitting a stone?" ”
The city lord of Ophelia said: "If we are dealing with the 'dying people', our ability is indeed insufficient, but the Xerxes need to pass the ritual and enough time to transmit their power to the 'dying people'. ”
"If we are the attackers, we can take the initiative and at least catch them off guard, instead of standing in the 'Flame Torch' city and waiting to be killed."
"Moreover, the Holy See will also fully support us, the third, fourth, and seventh cardinals are already on their way, and with their help, our offensive will be more effective."
Cha Mo nodded: "Okay, we are willing to collect information for you, but ...... We also have our conditions. ”
The city lord of Ophelia made a "please" gesture: "Please say, as long as we can do it, we can talk." ”
"As you know, we are here in search of a rare mine," Cha Mo said, looking at the map on the table, "on our condition, we will mine minerals without income duties......
"Also, we need to build a railway here that leads directly to the 'Divine Sleeping House', and please take care of the land acquisition area."
"Railroad?" This was the first time the city lord of Ophelia had heard the word: "Is it ...... A road made of iron? ”
Cha Mo smiled: "Almost, in order to transport minerals, we need this special transportation route, but after it is completed, you can also use it, so it's a win-win situation for everyone." ”
The two conditions proposed by the end of the tea have no direct impact on the city lord of Ophelia and the city of "Flame Torch" for the time being, anyway, it is a blank check, and the city lord of Ophelia agrees after a little thought.
The meeting was quite harmonious, everyone took what they wanted, and the meeting ended successfully.
Back at the resting place, Ovo spoke: "Wow, Cha Min, I kept the agreement, I didn't say a word, I said that I would give me an extra milk brick!" ”
Cha Mo nodded and said, "Okay, you're indispensable, but it seems that the situation is much more complicated than we expected before." ”
Ovo replied: "What's complicated, our mission is not the same, as long as we find that ...... 'high-energy liquid gas', Mamba has said that he will give us the first credit!" ”
Cha Mo shook his head and said, "The situation of the Xerxi people has exceeded our previous estimates, and our original plan was to talk to the Xerxes about whether we can obtain these mineral deposits in a peaceful way." ”
"However, now that the Xerxes are ready to go to war with Hobruns, there is a good chance that our peace plan will not work."
Ovo pouted: "If it doesn't work, it won't work, it's a big deal to fight them, your 'master' has given a death order, and the importance of this task can be imagined." ”
Cha Mo sighed: "If you really fight, unless it is a war of extermination, it will definitely take a lot of time, and there will be no less follow-up problems." ”
"We are not murderers, for us, development is the last word, and a peaceful environment is good for all."
Owo could hear what she was saying, "Hey, hey, tea, you don't want to be an ambassador of peace and negotiate with those Xerxes, do you?" ”
Cha Mo was silent for a while: "Regarding this matter, I have to discuss it with Mamba Flan and them, and even ask the Lord for advice." ”
"Ovo, you go to sleep first, and you'll have to go back tomorrow."
……
When Tang Hao heard the news that the Xuexi people were going to invade on a large scale, he also scratched his head.
"What is the origin of this Xerxerxian? And what kind of strange skills do they have, and what the hell is the 'dying man'? ”
The base intelligence adjutant replied: "Your Excellency, the information known to this machine is limited, and it is not possible to come up with an accurate answer for the time being. ”
"But the way of fighting the 'man who went to the death' seems to be ...... As you mentioned earlier, the god-making ritual is somewhat similar. ”
Tang Hao thought for a while and said, "Are you saying that the Xerxies concentrated the power of faith in a person's body, so as to achieve the effect of creating a god, that is, to create this 'dying man'?" ”
The adjutant replied: "Judging from the known conditions, there is indeed such a possibility, and in addition, perhaps as an ordinary person, it is difficult to withstand such a strong force, so the 'dying person' only has a short life span of twenty-four hours." ”
Tang Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, regarding the Xuexi people's belief in evil gods, and what special substances are in those black lakes, I think it is likely to be false." ”
"Sixty years ago, the Hobrightens were beaten so badly by the Xerxers, so naturally they wanted to find ways to demonize the other side, but I would like to know what the purpose of the Xerxes invading Hobrasy was."
"In terms of geographical location, Hobrands is located in the northern cold region, and it is not as good as the territory of the Xerxes, and in terms of resources, don't the Xerxes need their Black Lake? There is no black lake in Hobruns. ”
The adjutant couldn't explain this: "This may not be known until the tea end and they come into contact with the Xerxies." ”
"But, Your Excellency, what kind of attitude do you plan to make the 'Journey to the Dead' towards the Xerxese?"
Tang Hao looked at the tea end on the screen and said: "The tea powder is right, peace and development are what we need now." ”
"Let's let Cha Mo go and deal with the Xerxies first, and see what they want."
"In addition, if we have the opportunity, we have to study what kind of power system the 'dying man' is, and what is the relationship between the gods believed in by the Xerxes and the Black Lake."
……
Early the next morning, Cha Mo and Owo said goodbye to the lord of Ophelia, and the garrison sent them all the way out of the "Flame Torch" city.
Holding the two milk bricks he took from the store, Ovo sat in the passenger seat and nibbled on the milk bricks while cutting the slices.
"Tea, come to a piece, ah~~" She took a piece of milk brick and handed it to the tea's mouth.
At the end of the tea, he took a bite: "Woo, it's so delicious, I want to follow them to learn how to make milk bricks, and I won't get tired of eating until I die!" ”
Ovo took a bite himself: "Mmmm, I suspect that I am addicted to eating, how can I live if I can't eat in the future!" ”
The two chatted and walked, and the road under the feet of the multi-legged chariot gradually turned into a small path, and finally into a barren meadow.
When they walked here, they were faced with Hobruns's southern border.
