Chapter 1502: The Dispute Between the Two Sessions
The crystal glass is placed on the large wooden table, which is beautifully carved but not lacquered, because this is the swamp and rainforest country of the snake people, and the paint is very humid, and the paint color is easy to peel off. However, the colors here are good, and the maids who serve people are beautiful and graceful. Curiosity aroused Dong Hezi's curiosity, he asked the middle-aged female mage wearing a golden-white tight-fitting robe opposite: "How much did you spend to hire them? This country of snake people is a real cannibalistic country, and ordinary people don't dare to come here at all." You can still get so many beautiful women. ”
The neat and good-looking female mage with brown and blonde hair raised her glass and said, "It's all the curvature of the family, and they came with me." If you like, pick a few and go back. However, some people have been trained, and some people don't~~~" but saw Dong Hezi waving his hand: "I just asked about the situation, I thought it was hired, but I didn't know that you were a gate valve to establish a country." It's me who is unheard of, and I'm rude. ”
The other party was more polite: "It's because we didn't make it clear, so you have a misunderstanding." Someone as intelligent as you, we wanted to contact for a long time, but unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity. I never wanted to see it here. These words made Dong Hezi mutter: Is this a polite remark? Or is it really eyeing me? Don't make this kind of joke, okay?
When he replied, "What wisdom do I have?" It's just to help people run errands, do chores, and run around to find the boss to eat. As a result, the other party stared at Ponouk, who had been silent beside him: "Don't be too humble. Like this strong man beside you, he is full of change-based energy, and all of them are supernatural forces that cannot be countered. Although we also have friends who study the transformation spell and forge the spell in the body. It's invincible, but it's not as flexible as it can be compared to some key features. ”
I have long heard that the Golden Demon Pattern Society can integrate the magic array into the human body, and the human body will always have some low-level spells, or cast some high-end spells like a spell-like ability. It seems that some gate valves have already integrated the magic array of change spells into the human body, and if they are combined with some protection spells or plastic energy spells, they can create a 'battle mage' or 'assassin mage' who is good at fighting and killing. A person who looks like a low-level mage can turn into a monster that looks like a sub-giant, can drag nine oxen backwards, and can fly and dodge in a moment without reciting a spell and casting spells. It is indeed a good hand at raid assassination.
"Occasionally, it's just a strange way. Dong Hezi said, "You come here this time." Are you here to do business too?" said the good-looking female mage with brown and blonde hair on the other side said with a smile: "I want to do big business." It's a pity~~~ It's a pity that the snake king can't be ruthless. And the power of the samurai of the various legions is too great. Yesterday I just issued an order to crack down on private blood sacrifices, and today it seems that something has happened. ”
Killing humans, goblins, lizardmen, and other blood sacrifices to snake gods was public before the Snake Kingdom. But this Serpent King is building his new country with the newly appearing portal, in order to attract foreign merchants. The blood sacrifice was ordered to be cancelled. Only in the heavy sacrifice of the snake gods. Blood sacrifices are carried out by designated temples, and it is strictly forbidden for ordinary snake people to sacrifice blood to the gods in private. But this ban has not been strictly enforced, and many snake people and even some small groups. He also privately bought and sold prisoners of war of other races, and privately sacrificed blood to the snake god, especially the main god of the snake people, the god of war and fertility. There are often out-of-town merchants or servants of merchants who are inexplicably 'missing', and the outside world knows that they have been violently kidnapped and sacrificed to blood.
As a result, there are many fewer merchants willing to come here, especially small and medium-sized caravans. The big chambers of commerce and big giants are difficult to deal with, so it affects the grand plan of the snake king to "build a new type of trade country". This strike hard is to wipe out those unscrupulous elements. Although Dong Haozi has been busy with Bonouk's affairs in the past few days, he still heard some news, such as a military logistics chief who has been dismissed from his post for violating the law and is under investigation, and it is said that he is suspected of embezzlement of a huge amount of money, and the circumstances are particularly strict.
"Has someone privately mobilized troops?" asked Dong Hezi with a frown. The good-looking female mage with brown and blonde hair on the other side replied, "No, but there are already some leaflets and ballads circulating among the snake people, especially the snake people warriors, and I heard that the reverse is very large. Then he handed over a slip with the words that had been circulated:
Don't shed tears for the serpents, and don't be ashamed for those who sell blood offerings. The body of "Snake Fat Ball" also has the nobility of the soul!
The chief bureaucrat orders blood sacrifices at will, and what is the sin of your way of selling blood sacrifices? Don't use the cleanliness of good and evil ethics to provoke the taste of the foolish people. The messenger who sells his soul is not nobler than you. Cheap cynics, tail-wagging tails to power, ugly souls, unworthy to define your sin. They can sacrifice blood day and night, they slaughter in their pants. In the midst of their condemnation of good and evil ethics, they still maintain a moan of prayer.
Snake officials, please tell everyone, who just sacrificed blood to the gods in the temple, but stepped on the dignity of the snake people to make a secret visit, ignoring the arrogance in the royal city. You killed this man and that frog, and you tried to control the spears and guns of the people. Cut down the guillotine blood sacrifice and put it on the official document to sweep it. You have long since exhausted the resources of good and evil ethics. I also engage in blood sacrifices, and I say that others are rampant?
I'm a bastard, and I'm pretending to be like a girl. The window became a snow cave, and he went to the people to sweep it.
When everyone looked at this leaflet and laughed, there was a very honest person who said something out of place - Xander said with some hesitation: "Although the blood sacrifice is wrong, ~~~ seems to ~~~ There is still some truth in it." It is unfair to only allow officials to do it, and not to allow civilians to do it. ”
Everyone laughed, and Xian Dale hurriedly argued: "I don't approve of the blood sacrifice! I just said that this is not right, only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps, is this correct?"
In the end, Dong Hezi said with a smile: "But for a human being, aren't the official blood sacrifices and private blood sacrifices both to kill people? The number of official blood sacrifices is controllable, how can the private blood sacrifices be controlled? For human beings and other blood sacrifices, is it better to choose a small number of official blood sacrifices, or a large number of private blood sacrifices? Standing on a human force field, should private blood sacrifices be forbidden?"
Xander had no choice but to choose: "It's still forbidden." But ~~~ only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps, which is really wrong. And Dong Hezi replied: "This is the article, you have hooked the article with the idea of 'good or bad'." In fact, it depends more on who these provisions serve and for what purpose. If these provisions of the ethics of good and evil are not good for mankind in concrete practice, as a human being, why do you still have to put this article on your head? If these snake people are allowed to sacrifice blood, then what will happen to the human victims? Is the article important, or is the ass of 'human' important? Whose ass do you want to stand on to talk about the article?"
The brown-haired female mage on the other side half-jokingly said, "But tomorrow, those snake people will hold a big march to protest against the people's will, against the evil law." Just got the news that they are already preparing in some blocks. Shape shì nervous. Dong Hezi smiled lightly and said: "Is the will of the people naturally correct? Is there a will of the people of their people? Or is the will of the people equal to the interests of their group?" Then he changed the topic: "What is the 'big business' you just mentioned?"
"I want to define the whole trading system. The mature female mage said, "There are several new portals in the Snake Country, and one of the larger ones leads to us. If we can get the goods from the south and sell them here, the profit will be huge. In the past, goods in the south had to go through layers of transit, which was extremely expensive. And some things can't be sold because the price is too high. But if you can use this place as a transit point, you can sell a lot of things. You can give more high-quality products to the gentry. ”
For example, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Tibetans and other countries competed for the Western Regions, not only for those barren lands, but also for the Silk Road trade routes from the Western Regions to Central Asia. When the Silk Road was interrupted for various reasons, neither the Tibetans nor the nomadic peoples who succeeded the Turks were able to wage large-scale wars. Without money, a decent war system cannot be organized, and even the state may be like the Tibetan people who cause a series of contradictions due to financial reasons: the contradictions between the ruling group, the contradictions between the ruling group and the people at the bottom, and the contradictions between the people and social development, and finally collapse!
Now, it is no longer a simple battle for business routes, but also a deeper battle for products. There is also a deeper level of Golden Magic Pattern that will fight with the Arcane Federation. No wonder they hired that Shira Bai Toad as a temporary mercenary. Unexpectedly, this mercenary was also tricked into the class room by the Arcane Federation, and almost fed the snake. The snake country is really roasted on the fire!
"The contradictions between the upper and lower strata of the country are often the result of the contradictions of the upper strata of the country. The ups and downs of domestic contradictions are often the result of indirect stimulation of international contradictions. Dong Hezi sighed: "I thought the first half was the main cause, but I didn't expect the second half to have a greater impact." Or maybe I didn't investigate enough. But ~~~ Why does the Serpent King cooperate with you and not with the Arcane Federation? ”
The other party smiled: "This is a trade secret." In short, we are behind the Serpent King, and they are behind the samurai group. To put it bluntly, they actually want to use these samurai groups to make trouble, and then sell them backhand after they are done. They want a place of turmoil. ”
"Why?" it was Ponuk who spoke this time, "It will not be good for them to buy and sell goods if it becomes a place of turmoil." The good-looking female mage on the opposite side could only continue to smile lightly: "Trade secrets." Now you know who is behind the calculations. It's not one or two conservative snake people, it's the forces behind the gods. I invite you to come this time, and I want to ask: how much are you willing to pay to support the Snake King. To be precise - are you willing to enter into a long-term cooperation agreement with us? ”
This is really roasting us on a fire! If we are greedy for profit, we will have to face the conspiracy of the Austrian Federation.
