Chapter 295, Interim President
"You may be seated, President Gaia," said Kurkes Bondarev said, smiling at Ouyang Dao among the bushes.
"Chairman Bondarev, long time no see," Ouyang Dao said as he nodded, scanning the surroundings of the courtyard. Seeing Ouyang Dao's movements, Bondarev said slowly: "I hope President Gaia doesn't laugh at me when I'm old and afraid of death. ”
"It's nothing funny, I'll do the same," Ouyang Dao sat down calmly, expecting Bondleev to say something shocking.
"President Gaia, look at this plant. This is the latest product of our Chamber of Commerce? Ouyang Dao is very interested. Bondarev took out a small pot of red clay. Around the jar is a scaffolding. There is a creeper buried in the middle. Bondarev took out a transparent lid from the side and inserted it into the bracket. "The plant is very fragile, and although a mature fibrous plant can act as the strongest rope, it is very afraid of the sun at a young age," Bondarev said. ”
Bondarev raised the basin for Ouyang Dao to see. With the help of a transparent lid, the blazing sun turns into a colorful light. Some of the withered vines turn green and two buds sprout from the top. Ouyang Dao looked at the transparent lid and clapped his hands slowly. "Great technology, it seems that the Sunset Florists Association is going to have a hot product again"
"Yes, I'm glad that the most important issue has been solved" Bondleev put down the pot, his face changing from joy to calm. "But a whole new problem arose, and I had to give up the plant technique," Ouyang Dao said with squinted eyes, "Is the lid too heavy?" "It's too heavy to be any longer? Bondarev whispered, his eyes sparkling, and the flowers in the yard were full of flowers, revealing their hard cores.
"Yes, the lid is too heavy" "There is another way," Ouyang Dao said, slowly opening the lid as he moved the frame. Bondarev looked at Ouyang Dao, his eyes flashing with ambition, and he said: "It's better to send more people to revise every day, so that some work can't be done by one person." ”
"President Gaia, you really surprise me" "Again, I never thought that President Kurks would be so ambitious at his age" Ouyang Dao smiled at Kurks, who stared at him, a little embarrassed.
The two sides are discussing a life-and-death deal, the Dragonblood King has sent the most important president, and the Sunset Flower Room will drive the heir out of the capital in advance. In terms of status, there is no difference between Kurks' Bondarev and Ouyang Dao, but in terms of the importance of their respective forces, he is superior to them. Without Bondarev and others, if the old man is willing to stay, it will become Bondarev.
But dragon's blood will be different. At this moment, if Ouyang exported any problems, disintegration was the only result. An embarrassed look flashed across Coulkes' face, and he continued, "As much as I believe President Gaia understands what I mean, I ask you cautiously. ”
"President Gaia, do you still have any ambitions?" Ouyang Dao looked at Kurkes with a smile on his face, before coming here, he thought about Kurkes. The real reason why Bondarev came to him, but never imagined that it would be a deep-rooted cooperation. "In this city, in this kingdom, I have never stopped progressing," Ouyang Dao said, feeling the ferocious plants around him.
Ouyang Dao spoke with an incomparably confident look and a hint of condescension, and Kurks didn't react to it except for a sigh of relief. "President Gaia's goal is very ambitious, but right now, in front of us, there are some people, some forces, who don't want us to go any further," he said, picking up the transparent lid that Ouyang Dao had removed, and pressing it down hard along the bracket, pressing it into the middle of the vine where the leaves were stripped away, and pressed to the top of the young shoots buried deep in the soil.
"They don't want anyone to come out of the dirt and share the sun and air with anyone," Ouyang said, looking at the dying vines with just the right amount of resentment. "We can't say yes"
"No, we can't promise," Bondarev smiled affectionately. "President Gaia, thank you for talking to me for so long. I'm calling you because I have something to talk about, so I don't want to waste your time. Bondarev took a document from behind him, and the middle-aged professional looked at Ouyang Dao with silent admiration.
"Here are the details of the cooperation, President Gaia, take a closer look"
Ouyang Dao took this document, and it was obvious that this document was the same piece of paper as the credit he received, that is, this document could be destroyed at any time if necessary. Ouyang Dao opened the cover and saw that it read: "Chaoyang Market Plan" After reading it for a few minutes, Ouyang Dao closed the document and closed his eyes. "President Cox, I underestimated you before" Ouyang Dao opened his eyes and couldn't help but think: "Is it necessary to be so aggressive? ”
Kuhl smiled, not surprised by Ouyang Dao's question, "If the dew is too heavy, the flower will bend," Ouyang Dao said seriously, "But if the dew is too heavy, the flower will bend." "It's not Ouyang Dao who is making a fuss, it's that Corks's plan is too radical. They want to build a real super black market in the capital's underground, not a small league of student groups or small families, but a place where all professionals trade in the dark.
According to Bondarev's plan, the underground black market can sell any resource to anyone, while part-time becoming an assassination squad, where anything can be bought, and all the goods add up. To put it simply, if a devil believer carries enough gold coins to buy all the resources to perform a ritual in this market, then a sacrificial circle can be created outside the market to summon the devil to the main realm. To build such a market, a large number of banned resources must be involved, and it must be secret and defensive, so as not to be disrupted by the Big Three.
The Bondarev family came up with a plan similar to Igor's: to demonize the entire kingdom's sewer system and turn it into a legendary labyrinthine puppet.
"The sun is so bright today" "Yes, the red dragon has passed by recently, is it true?" "On the streets of the capital, two ordinary people, breathless from the sun, hurried away, regardless of the sweat on their bodies, I just wanted to go home and enjoy the shade. Since Ouyang Dao and Bondarev's deal ended three days ago.
For some reason, the temperature of the city suddenly rises, but there is nothing unusual about the sun moving away from the stars, not to mention the passing of a red dragon. Hunter's Guild, a makeshift tactical meeting room.
Because most of its members were seconded to the west, the guild lacked staff and had only a new director, Teyjat. At the age of 30, Teyjat was a genius. But genius means little to many of the hunters present, and Taigart, who was the elite of the team a few days ago, is now nominally a commander.
Did Fransky, Runes find anything unusual about the recent rise in temperatures in the city? Fransky pushed his glasses and glanced at the report.
"There are no high-heat objects within 5000 meters, and the heat is emitted 300 meters away from the city, considering this fact, I think it is artificial"
"Artificial? "The other hunters were surprised, they did notice an unusual rise in temperatures over the past few days, but didn't take the professionals into account.
On the one hand, it is impossible for the average professional to cause such a large temperature rise, and on the other hand, although the temperature has risen a lot, it has not reached an unbearable level, at most, it has brought the summer forward.
This small change in temperature, no matter how you look at it, has only a small effect. Interim Director Teyjat is more decisive than others.
Take a team of people and go investigate right away! ”
"Is this, teyjat, necessary? ”
Gega, the interim head of the Rooney department, stood up, knowing that it was man-made, I deliberately carried out a series of inspections that did not reveal any evil rituals and did not examine in detail the most likely aspects of the curse Another interim director said: "Yes, if it is artificial, then we must consider whether it was influenced by the big shots. ”
They thought that the Taigart was making a big fuss, and now that the masters are gone, their investigation will be in vain. "Don't we have to do something? Taya frowned, "President Taigart, I will tell you the latest results of our investigation, after yesterday's investigation, we found nothing. Brando, the head of the foreign affairs team and the highest-ranking person present, stood up.
"Forgive me for missing me, there's something wrong with the farm," Brando said, turning away without Tygart's permission. The hunters around him watched him silently. It's no secret that Tygart and Brando are bitter rivals. The temporary host was initially designated as the oldest brando, but the breakthrough of the Tygart, the final answer, is not mysterious.
Brando cares a lot about this, he knows that he may become acting president in a short time, and he has already made a lot of preparations in advance, which is no longer necessary, and if he compares the result with the original result, he will lose a lot.
Because of this, his attitude towards Taya is lukewarm, and the assigned task is said to be completed, but in fact, what he does is unknown. After Brando left, the atmosphere in the conference room was quiet, and everyone relaxed in this silence.
Brando destroyed the Taigart, a series of the most vibrant buildings. The meeting lasted more than 10 minutes, but the final result did not change, and many people could not bear to investigate the sharp rise in temperature. After the other captains left, Teyjat sat alone in the conference room, frowning.
At this time, four young men and women pushed open the door and came in, and when they saw that the sun had no expression, they could only smile helplessly. They are members of the Teyjat squad and know what their captain is up against. "Is there any movement in the Church of Light, Jerome? Tygart asked, her eyes lit up when she saw the men.
The young man known as "the church" sighed, "The church has done nothing, they seem to have benefited from the recent rise in temperatures, and if it weren't for us, the church might have deliberately extended the time," Teyjat said, his face turning pale, and for this answer, she really didn't expect. As the interim president paced around the conference room, his team members looked at her anxiously, getting an idea of the captain's character.
"No, we can't go on like this, we have to do something" Mentea knocked heavily on the table, looking at the four people who were standing still. "Players, I have an important task for you" There are four players in each eye, and in the end they are left to fate.
Two hours later, armed with the detection equipment stolen from the Luns department, Taigart left satisfied. Behind him, four poor hunters were put in prison, they were arrested for theft, but at the behest of the current president, Taigart, they were sentenced to three hours in confinement.
As for the stolen goods they stole from the Ministry of Lunnes, President Gaia said that he kept them for the time being and would officially return them tomorrow. Possessing an advanced heat-sensing device, Teyjat roams the city, but testing is trickier than stealing.
Teyjat took a flaming red compass and walked around the city for hours until the instrument told him that the temperature was about the same everywhere in the city. How is this possible? Teyjat held the compass in a trance.
Was it really a natural phenomenon, as they say, but just when she doubted her life, the conversation between two passers-by caught his attention.
"Have you noticed the plants in the sewers lately? ”
"Plants, there's no sunlight there. What kind of plant? Did you get it wrong? It's moss, right? ”
"No, the rats have eaten up all the moss. How about this one that grows very well on the ground and is definitely a new new variety? In any case, we are only responsible for the simple maintenance of this strange plant, do not be curious, there is a real problem, there are professionals. ”
"But I'll have to go down and check it again in two days," I'll go with you to ignore the two workers who were discussing how to pretend to be sick, and when Teyjat approached the dark sewer and looked at the filthy green water, Teyjat gritted his teeth and jumped in.
There must be something wrong with this!
