Chapter 87: A New Discovery
Chapter 87: A New Discovery
"If you are a righteous thief, do you think that trust is very easy to achieve? In fact, you also know in your hearts that there are many traitors in this world who can't even write the word trust, and there are very few who can really put it into practice. ”
"Of course we know. It's just that it doesn't come out in the form of quid pro quo. ”
"Since you don't think so, then I'll change the actual transaction - recently I sent my subordinates to study the growth and mutation experiments of monsters, but unfortunately there are not many samples and the progress is delayed. If you're willing, I'll need the flesh and blood of 300 'Phantom Tier' monsters as experimental specimens, is there a way to get them together in the near future? ”
"Three hundred 'Phantom Rank' monsters!?"
Beamer and Itri were shocked.
Not a higher level, but a stronger phantom level.
Even if it is only one order of difficulty, the difference in its strength is quite large, and it is even better than the difference between the two orders between high-level and low-level monsters.
Naturally, humans can't defeat Phantom-level monsters alone.
I'm afraid I can't even subdue one.
The expressions on both sides perfectly illustrate this brutal truth.
This is a utopian dream that will never be possible.
Wu smiled.
"See—no exchange will satisfy me, for you are not strong enough to satisfy me. Trust is the perfect balance to maintain a transaction. Or do you think you're more than that? ”
“…… No, we can't. ”
Beama gave up struggling admitted.
"Thank you for your understanding. If you admit that you can't do it, does that mean you agree to live up to my 'trust' in you, in exchange for a safe place for all the members? ”
“…… Kindness. ”
"Don't be so serious. I hope you trust me, not to control your mannerisms and thoughts, but to not betray me easily—that's all, nothing else, and I won't easily backstab you. ”
"We all get it."
"Now that you understand the final deal, I'm currently finding a suitable base elsewhere, waiting for me to finish the matter over there, and then I may set up a magic circle in the mine and the new base that can teleport to each other."
"Do you want us to send some of our men to stay at the stronghold?"
Wu smiled with satisfaction, indicating that Beama's guess was right.
"That's right. I will compile a document on the location and environment of the stronghold and pass it on to you through Kurt, and then you will send someone who can adapt to the location and climate of the new stronghold. ”
"That's fine, of course, but I have a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Are you doing this with the intention of creating a new country?"
Quite straight to the point of questioning.
It really made Wu stunned a little.
Kurt and Nightkaku also seemed to care about Wu's reply, and the eyes that looked at the adults became curious and expectant.
- Curious about Wu's true thoughts.
——I look forward to the fact that Wu can match the vision in my heart.
However, Wu Pour also had such a plan.
It is very likely that the mastermind behind his murder is from the ministers of Einck's country, and the number is uncertain.
Without relative power and power, it would be difficult to pull it out of the tenacious Einkeri.
Even if he is a "friend" and has a connection with his father, it is difficult to ensure that his father is afraid of his own power and goes to war.
You have to be ready to fight at all times.
I can't cower and hesitate.
Sooner or later, you will have to build an "organization" that you have in your own hands.
It should be the so-called "advanced subordinates"!
The size of the organization must be larger than that of the Kingdom of Eink, and even reach the strength of the entire plain.
The organization that matches its enormous power is a whole "country"!
Build the perfect system, command the armies that break through the plains, and wield rock-solid power. This is the only way to find out who killed me without any worries, and find a way to preserve the power of gluttony.
This is also the main reason why he refused his father's invitation.
Of course, everything is still imaginary.
The real blueprint has not yet been built, and there is still a lot of unfinished pre-work.
And Kurt and Nightcourt are still present, and all their words will be passed on to the other Patronus through them.
So let's be conservative.
"We don't have that plan at the moment. Why do you have this speculation? ”
"I just think that Mr. Forts, you have unprecedented strength, and you are surrounded by subordinates who are comparable to monsters, not to mention that these subordinates who work for you are all equipped with special skills - scientific research, architecture, medical care, etc."
"I see, but it's too hard to build a country on that basis."
"Nope! I think it's just right. ”
Beamo was adamantly sure of his thoughts.
"I didn't know Mr. Fortes before, but judging by your style of conversation and your thinking, you were once an optimistic man. But it seems that it is some kind of shock that has caused the callousness and silence now. ”
It seems that the evaluation that pokes the center of the hurdle shocks Wu.
It was beyond words—Beamer was one of the few human beings who saw through his own nature.
Strange humans.
“…… Where do you know? ”
"Hahahaha! Although it is just a feeling, I rarely see a person who is obviously gloomy on the outside, but at the same time full of feelings, as if the coldness on the outside is just a tough measure to protect the inside. ”
"I see...... Am I such a person in your eyes? ”
Wu suddenly nodded thoughtfully.
Beamo can be described as a man with a delicate mind.
It's better to say that he sees people with great precision.
However, the conversation so far seems to have been almost always with Beama, and Itri seems to be listening silently from the side.
In terms of identity, he is the head of Haidt, but the direction of the future team seems to be determined by Bimo, who is the deputy leader.
So what does Eatri do at Haight?
Curious.
"Besides that—I have a request for both of you."
"What request?"
Wu's eyes suddenly became serious and sharp, and it seemed that the request to be said next was very important.
It is also very likely that the request will be rejected by the two.
"I will not restrict all of your actions or decisions during the cooperation. But on the other hand, you must always report the actions of any member of the group, even your own, and do not lie or omit them. ”
This immediately made the two of them look hesitant and even angry.
"Didn't you say that we were in a cooperative relationship? Why do we report all our actions to you unilaterally? ”
"I'm very sorry - because there are many troubles around me that are easily implicated by the outside world, so your usual actions or behaviors may affect or even destroy my original plan, please forgive me."
“…… Even if you are our savior, this kind of invasion of privacy is unacceptable. ”
"I knew you wouldn't say yes easily—I'll explain the 'great crisis' I told you earlier."
“…… What do you mean? ”
At this moment, the eyes that looked at Billo suddenly turned to the silent Itri on the side.
"Etri—do you remember the middle-aged man who was able to harness a two-headed dragon?"
"Uh-huh! Remember! That man was very strong, not like a human being. ”
"Come to think of it, there are only one of the few humans in this plain who can control the power of the dragon clan, right?"
A very obvious implication that Editri still didn't resonate.
Billo's face collapsed in an instant.
Stunned and shocked were mixed on his face.
“…… If I'm not mistaken, the monarch of Eynk is ......"
"The near-extinct 'dragonmen'."
Personally continue Beama's speculation with a smile that answered correctly.
"That uncle is the monarch of the Kingdom of Aynk? Is that he the famous 'Discent'? ”
"That's right! Itri. ”
Itri finally realized that she was in such grave danger before.
I also instantly understood why Discent had to meet with him in person.
If it weren't for Wu's obstruction, he would probably have died at the hands of Diescent.
"Luckily, I won the fight, otherwise you wouldn't have even had a chance to talk to me."
"Sparring?"
Billa looked back and forth at Wu and Itri in confusion.
That's what made Itri have a lingering explanation.
"Mr. Forts has already sensed the uncle...... Lord Discente's intentions. In order to protect the safety of me and my subordinates, I took the initiative to challenge Lord Discent. In the end, the two fought to a draw, but Lord Discent seemed to appreciate Mr. Forts, so he voluntarily conceded victory, and we were saved from Lord Discente's killer. ”
"It turns out that there is still this relationship......"
Beama nodded thoughtfully. There was still disbelief on his expression.
"Only then do you two understand how hard I am trying to save the lives of all the members of Haidt?"
The two fell silent.
Maybe it's the impact of reality that causes the mind to be disturbed.
Wu watched quietly.
At this time, Beama adjusted his emotions and apologized.
"I retract the criticism I just made of your request. On behalf of all Haidt, I would like to thank you! ”
As soon as these words came out, Itri and Billo stood up at the same time and bowed at ninety degrees to thank Wu.
"Please be seated."
"Yes."
The two obediently sat back on the couch.
This interaction is quite a relationship between a boss and a subordinate. The atmosphere and conversation patterns are also slightly similar.
Now the two of them are full of apologies and guilt.
Apologies to the members of the regiment - the pretense plan to take revenge on Fellomar almost killed all the members, and without Fortes's help, I am afraid that Discent would have gone on a killing spree.
The guilt given to Fortes - silently prevented this wave of disasters for me, and did not swallow us up an inch.
It should be you who has to make inches.
Each transaction was clearly made in consideration of Haight.
Mr. Forts is serious about maintaining the relationship.
What kind of powerful person is he? To be so humble and kind to everyone?
Could this be what makes Mr. Forts so powerful?
It pales in comparison to him.
"Mr. Fortes, I could have handed over control of Haidt to you."
Billo's suggestion shocked Wudu a little.
How did you suddenly soften your mentality?
Itri didn't even protest, and her flat expression seemed to acquiesce to Billo's suggestion.
"Why did you give me your cherished treasure so suddenly?"
"You have indeed saved us all, and your humble kindness has indeed touched me. To be honest - I've been suspicious of you since we first started talking, and it wasn't until you confessed that I was awakened by my own stupidity. ”
"Beama was right. You have the strength and ability to lead the leader of Haidt! Both Bimo and I consider ourselves inferior to you, and for the sake of Haight's future, we are relieved to ask you to take over Haight's rein. ”
Both of them looked very serious.
On the contrary, Wu was a little confused.
It's certainly a good thing to include the Haight Thieves, but there's no way around it yet.
I don't have the capacity to use such a large amount of manpower effectively.
Rather than holding all the power myself, I would rather be able to distribute it and let my right-hand man take care of it for me.
Itri and Beamo are the perfect candidates for right-hand men.
The Haite Thieves were created by them, and I don't know the fighting style and formal thinking of the members, and it would only be counterproductive to rush to take on them, and it would definitely not be more effective than when the two of them were in charge.
“…… I think both of you misunderstood. It is not my intention to take control of you, but to expand my power on the plains as much as I can. I hope you join not to covet your manpower, but to be wise and resourceful. ”
"Since you've said so—we'll take it as well."
The two nodded in acceptance.
"In that case, let me elaborate on the request I just made. The so-called reciprocal action is simply presented to me, and I emphasize that I 'do not restrict' your actions, but simply know first. ”
"Then if our actions affect your plans, will you stop us?"
"Let's judge by the seriousness of the matter. Most of them won't be blocked. ”
"Understood."
"Anyway – the approximate deal is as above. Do you have any objections? ”
"Nope."
"If Beama has no opinion, I don't have an opinion either."
"In that case, I still have something to talk to with two of my subordinates later, so I can't see them off personally."
"It's okay."
Beamo and Itri stood up at the same time and bowed slightly.
"From today onwards, the 'Haight Thieves' and 'Mr. Fortes' will get along in a cooperative relationship, please advise!"
"Please advise."
Beama solemnly declared.
Wu nodded in response with the same earnestness.
"Griffin—Farewell!"
"Yes!"
An old man's voice came from outside the door.
The door of the room slowly opened, and the wrinkled right hand turned the doorknob to open the door for the two of them.
Griffin's half-body haunted the crack in the door, nodding politely to the two and reaching out to the long corridor outside the door.
"Please follow the old man and leave here."
"Okay."
The two followed Griffin's footsteps out of the room.
The door closed softly.
There were suddenly three people left in the room.
Wu glanced at Kurt and the Night Pavilion beside him.
"Did you hear what I said clearly?"
"Your words are deeply imprinted in Kurt's heart!"
"The Night Pavilion is indeed in mind!"
The two of them did listen carefully to all of Wu's requests.
They also knew that they had to convey it to other patron saints as a microphone, and naturally there could be no mistakes.
"Yes. You two sit down too. ”
"Thank you, sir."
The two thanked Wu in unison. Sit down to the same position where Editri and Beama were sitting.
There is still residual warmth.
Slurping the blood of the monsters, how uneasy it was to look into the eyes of Kurt and the Night Pavilion.
Presumably, as gods, they cannot understand their own thoughts.
It's a good idea that I was a human being when I was alive, and I really can't understand what they're thinking now.
"Do you know why I'm recruiting humans as my subordinates?"
Just sitting on the soft sofa, Wu coldly asked the two of them questions.
Kurt responded immediately.
"Your target is not just humanity - you intend to gain the sincerity and trust of all the races of the Plains, and indirectly control the thinking and actions of all races in the name of 'cooperation'. The small one thinks so. ”
There was no veto and no approval. Wu nodded and listened to Kurt's reasoning.
"What about you? Night Pavilion. ”
"Yes - it's not just bloodshed to level the Stafen Plains, even if it's a way to control the various races in a way that doesn't necessarily succeed. To this end, you plan to recruit different species as much as you can, and then use the communication patterns of each species to render other races, and then fill in the differences in your perception of the world through the differences between races. ”
"Yes! Both of them have a lot of point. But—the closest thing to my true thoughts was the Night Pavilion. ”
"Night Pavilion, I'm very honored to have guessed your plan!"
I could tell that the night pavilion was very happy.
"I want to learn more about the values and mindset of all things. Even if these meager strengths are not enough to worry about in front of the Protoss, there are still places worth emulating. Not only me, but also you, as the guardian spirit, should also remember. ”
"The little ones are remembered."
The two of them answered in unison again.
"It's good to understand. I'm going to compile what I've just said so that you can sort it out and pass it on to the other Patronus. ”
"Listen up."
"Next, I will cooperate with the 'Haite Thieves' led by humans, their combat methods are quite special, in addition to cultivating many excellent human magisters, they also train attack troops with monsters as the main force. It is the use of monsters as weapons of war - we must ask them what monsters need to pay attention to when fighting. ”
"Report to your lordship, Kurt has something to ask."
"Just ask."
"You previously ordered the experiment of 'breeding and transforming all captured monsters', and now you plan to integrate monsters into the combat unit, so how should the distribution of monsters be implemented?"
"Well, the experiment is not urgent. I believe that Kurt can be a leader in the development of monster construction as soon as possible, but compared to the arrangement and formation of the army, it is really better to integrate the middle and high-level monsters into the army first, and use the low-level monsters as experimental samples. ”
Kurt understood that the little one would immediately arrange for his subordinates to work out the arrangement of the monster class. Speaking of monsters, though, there's a 'new discovery' to report to you about the 'onishak' you ordered Kurt to research. ”
What good news for yourself.
Coming into Wu's ear, the stimulus of excitement rushes through the unconscious nerve group like an electric current.
