Chapter 276: Today's Allies
After experiencing the initial shock, instinctive confrontation, and a series of ups and downs such as silence and embarrassment, these three first-class elites from the Arad continent finally calmed down at this moment.
In addition to Wiseman, who never had the word "national interest" in his mind, Midi and Reinhardt had already entered the role of diplomatic negotiations, and began to quickly brew breakthroughs in their hearts.
In fact, Reinhardt was still vaguely excited.
Because this time, it was extremely rare, and he actually had an advantage in front of that midi as soon as he came up!
And it's a huge plus!
When he first walked into the door, he heard Emile's angry accusations against Midi there, and with a few details that followed, the fourth prince with a heart of wisdom could already assert that Midi was definitely coming for the ancient battlefield.
But alas, Midi came late.
You must know that Reinhardt and Wiseman have come to the wind stream half a year ago, and have spent a lot of effort, through force and the resources that the empire has sent with great difficulty, and finally took root here.
Whether it was a few managers of the Stream, a pilot of the Pioneer Boat, or some of the most prominent people living in the area, Reinhardt had at least some friendship with them and established a basic relationship.
As for the "White Snake" Emile, with the vision of the fourth prince, of course, he can understand the value of the alchemy master, and he is the designer of the airship, so he naturally launches a powerful offensive. Three months ago, Emile finally sent out an invitation for Reinhardt and Wiseman to explore the ancient battlefield with her, and retrieved a lot of wreckage, so to speak, and it can be said that they have formed a strong alliance.
Although Reinhardt was unprepared for the arrival of Midi this time and lost his "time", he was in his hands on the two things of "location" and "people".
And since Midi's purpose is also the "White Snake", then his terrifying personal force has no place to play here.
The opponent's greatest advantage is bound, but his own side has the advantage of the place, and there is no doubt that this is the best opportunity for Midi to compromise and even bow his head and give in.
No, it's not just that, as long as it is used properly, it can even borrow the power of Midi in turn to create an excellent situation!
How could Reinhardt let go of such an opportunity?
The reason why I came forward to guarantee in front of Emile just now is actually based on this reason. You must know that Reinhardt is not a knight who values honor, nor does he have any feelings such as "sympathy for the enemy of fate in his life", the only thing he wants to do is to do everything possible to make himself stronger, nothing more.
In addition, it is also a very obvious demonstration that he wants to prove his influence over Emile in front of Midi in order to occupy the high ground in the rest of the conversation.
Didn't you Midi come all the way for Emile?
But unfortunately, now that I'm her ally, whatever you have to do, you need me to nod you!
Reinhardt clearly expressed this meaning.
And Midi, naturally, clearly understood what he wanted to express.
To be honest, even if he knows what Reinhardt is calculating, he doesn't have the ability to reverse the game on the spot.
After all, Midi is only a reborn, but not an all-powerful and omniscient god, and even if he has the memories of his previous life, it is still impossible to keep everything under control, and not only that, but there may even be some mistakes and omissions.
Just like this encounter with these two old rivals, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you should be able to see it in advance.
In the previous life, wasn't it the White Snake that had the support of the Delos Empire to build the heavy armored cruiser? Although it took a full seven years, the White Snake and the Empire obviously came together.
So in this life, why is it impossible for Reinhardt to find Emile?
Obviously, whether in the past life or in this life, the power of the empire seems to have gradually risen from the wind stream, which was ignored by the great power of the sea of clouds, and finally brought into play the imagination and creativity of human beings and incorporated it into the Arad continent.
As long as you think about it a little more carefully and make a little more inference, you will naturally be mentally prepared, and even try to lay the groundwork in order to seize the opportunity when you really encounter the power of the Empire.
However, it is a pity that Midi, who is obsessed with entering the Great Storm Zone, obviously did not calculate to this extent.
There is no regret medicine to take in this world, so now even Midi can only accept being in a passive situation.
But although she was depressed and entangled at first, she soon became relieved - there is no perfection in this world, and she is just struggling to move forward in the whirlpool of fate.
To say that because he died once, he was able to control the overall situation from beginning to end with the experience of the previous life, and he didn't eat a single deflated, and every time he pushed and crushed the past, Midi was not so arrogant.
Now that the Delos Empire has seized the opportunity, there is no need to rob others of their opportunities, it is better to push the boat once, perhaps, it can make things go more smoothly.
At the end of the day, the biggest card is always in the hands of Midi himself.
"Your Excellency Midi......" Reinhardt sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then finally spoke slowly.
But immediately, he was interrupted by Midi.
"Just call me Midi, you don't want to be called Your Highness, right? In the sea of clouds in the sky, without the support of the power from the Arad continent, we are just ordinary adventurers, so it's better to be casual. Midi said lightly.
"I think so too. On the side, Wiseman was very unprincipled on Midi's side.
In fact, since Wiseman asked Reinhardt if he was "ordering" him, he had already made one thing clear - in this sea of clouds in the sky, no one could control this crazy necromancer, not even the feared imperial power of the Delos Empire.
Two of the three agree with one thing, and how can the last one have room to refute it?
Reinhardt glanced angrily at Wiseman, who was on the verge of defection, and could only nod, and then spoke again: "Okay then, Midi, let's open the skylight and say something, you are also here for the ancient battlefield, right?"
"It's more than that. Midi was blunt.
"That's right. Reinhardt chuckled and glanced at the spacious reception room, "And this beautiful Miss Dark Elf, the alchemy knowledge and skills she possesses, as well as her creativity, are probably still worth the ancient battlefield!"
For a long time, the sky and the sea of clouds are a relatively closed area, and the major forces have carved up the main resources, and at the same time, they do not want to forge ahead, and they do not have any ideas about entering the big storm area. For example, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, the most advanced tiger shark and narwhal, is already overwhelmed just by being close to the ice cloud circle, and what is the burden of expansion and exploration?
In such a slow-growing area, let alone those general forces, even Emile herself may not have a correct estimate of her own value.
But the human beings from the Nether are different, whether it is Midi or Reinhardt, they have all grown up from the fierce competition for supremacy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are heroes, and they have an extremely strong desire for strength.
Therefore, in the eyes of humans like Midi, Emile, the "White Snake", the key to accelerating the process of gaining strength and even advancing by leaps and bounds.
Of course, it is also the focus of the current negotiations.
"As you can see, Emile has formed an alliance with us, and the ancient battlefield will be explored by the Empire, Midi, you better go back and take your young lady from the Celestial Realm with you. Reinhardt said unceremoniously, "There's no room for you to meddle here." ”
"No kidding. There's no empire here, it's just you and Wiseman, two adventurers. Midi only sneered at the other party's bluff, "If the power of the empire can really affect the sky and the sea of clouds, why should Emile auction her own skills? You have no funds, no resources, and the only people who can mobilize are probably a few pilots, but unfortunately, they don't even have a decent large airship, right?"
"Money and resources, sooner or later. Reinhardt's blue eyes swelled with a light called ambition, "In any case, the most important part now is in my hands." ”
"Yes, I admit it, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted any time sitting down and negotiating with you. Midi readily admitted, and then suddenly changed the conversation and asked, "Say, what do you want?"
"Hmph, I knowingly ask, I need all the resources and skills, otherwise how can I gain a foothold in this sea of clouds in the sky, and how can I establish a force that belongs to human adventurers?" Reinhardt snorted coldly, "If you don't have strength, how can you develop?
"In addition, I need money, a lot of money, otherwise I can't even do a test, you have to know that the alchemy experiment of a necromancer is very expensive, and you have to fill in a lot of lives. On the side, Wiseman also sighed rarely.
For an experimental maniac like him, he still has to worry about his livelihood when he arrives in the sea of clouds, and he has obviously been depressed for quite a while.
Midi was a little speechless for a moment.
Whether it is resources, money, or skills, these are in his hands, but they are inexhaustible.
In fact, not counting the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, but just with Victoria's financial and material resources, what do you want?
But this can't blame Reinhardt for being short-sighted, after all, the empire has been continuously closed in the past year or so since it entered the sea of clouds in the sky. Except for a few floating islands around the Dark Corridor near Sky City, there was no place where they could stand.
The great forces of the sea of clouds are extremely sensitive to the involvement of external forces, especially the human countries in the nether realm, and it can be said that all channels are completely locked, whether it is the Delos Empire or the Belmar Kingdom, it can be said that they have been rejected by the sea of clouds, and they have not even been able to find a single window so far.
Fortunately, as a transcendent awakener, Midi's personal strength is too prominent, coupled with the memory of his previous life, he knows the sea of clouds and the Great Storm Zone well, so he can get the favor of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and then use his own strength to become Victoria's ally.
Under normal circumstances, it is the normal path to eat behind closed doors like Reinhardt first, and then find a remote corner to develop.
It's no wonder that these two are so obsessed with the ancient battlefield and the alchemy master, they are busy collecting money and collecting resources to develop their potential.
As for the big storm area, it is estimated that these two have not even seen it with their own eyes, and it is just hearsay.
After all, there were very few routes close to the Great Storm Zone, and Midi didn't think that they would go on a whaling boat like herself.
Although he could fully understand Reinhardt's train of thought, if Midi really let them take their time step by step, wouldn't it be the right time to enter the Great Storm Zone, and it would have to drag on for seven years like the previous life?
"I will give you money, skills, resources, and manpower. Even if it helps you establish a foothold in the Wind Stream and establish the exclusive power of the Delos Empire, it will be no problem. Midi said slowly, with a kind of extravagant heroism in his tone, "As a price, Emile and the ancient battlefield, how about you let go?"
As soon as these words fell, the eyelids of Reinhardt and Wiseman jumped at the same time.
Is this guy thinking he's in Belmar?
