When Marquis Blatter once again stepped on the thirteen obsidian steps of the Church of the Scourge, it was already the tenth day after the events of Neppleton.

During those ten days, he had been putting the finishing touches on the Neppelton affair. Neppelton was removed from the post of Lord Chancellor, and the title of Marquis was also stripped away, and the entire Nepleton family collapsed. The Serra Empire was not keen on the execution of offending ministers, but it was almost impossible to recall them after being reduced to civilians. Ivan Pulton was driven back to his hometown in the south, and the Empire left him a farm and a small estate out of care for his old courtiers, perhaps because of his scapegoat. If Neppelton knew about convergence, then he could spend the rest of his life as a manor owner.

Although fading out of the political arena has cost the Neppleton family everything they have, in the current situation, it is the best way to deal with it.

After that, the Marquis of Blatter was busy taking over the vacancy of power after Neppelton's departure, and on the other hand, he had to negotiate with His Majesty the Emperor on how to restore Huigler's impression of the Empire.

Dealing with Xiui is so simple and so complicated.

The simplicity is that he is a person who can be bought;

The complication is that he is not a person who can be easily bought;

On the question of how to get Huey to think that the Serra Empire had shown enough sincerity, Marquis Blatter and Emperor Jenkin had a very detailed discussion.

This discussion has gone through two twists and turns.

The first time was when it was almost officially confirmed, when suddenly the news of the arrival of the gods came, and Huy Glair became an oracle. Although the deity descended on the sacrificial temple, in fact its influence covered almost the entire capital of the Serra Empire. Upon learning of this news, the Marquis of Blatter and his Imperial Majesty immediately doubled the bottom line of compensation.

However, just a day later, new news arrived: the Divine Envoy had possessed the power of God. Isardo himself even told Emperor Jenkin that this was true news, and that Huegler already had the Divine Domain and was the only one who could resist the Abyss Scourge in the future.

As a result, the bottom line of compensation has doubled on this basis.

The compensation was so great that Emperor Jenkin was willing to cede ten cities.

Emperor Jenkin, after drawing the final bottom line, finally decided to let the Marquis of Blatter go once. He hoped that the Marquis would use his excellent lobbyist skills to persuade Huyglare to lower the price.

————————

Today, it is the Marquis of Blatter who has come to discuss the issue of compensation with Xiui, of course, on the bright side, the Marquis of Blatter will not say that this is compensation, but can only be "some small care from the great Emperor His Majesty to the guests who have come from afar." ”

"Where is Lord Huyglare?"

One of the Destruction Knights politely replied, "I should have just left the library at this time, you can go to the horse farm to have a look." ”

The Marquis of Blatter thanked him and hurried to the horse farm.

The horse farm that the Destruction Knight is talking about is where the Church of the Scourge keeps nightmare horses. It is said to be a horse farm, but it is actually a natural world artificially opened up in the bustling city. Nightmare horses are violent by nature, love freedom, and come and go like the wind. Keeping them in small places is not the way to keep their hearts.

For this reason, the Church of the Scourge has carved out an artificial mountain forest and meadow in the rear of about 12 hectares of land for the Nightmare Horse to live in. The environmental input of raising this nightmare horse alone consumes a lot of the church's wealth every year.

In the distance, Huey was riding the Nightmare Horse on the grass at a gallop speed, and saw the Marquis of Blatter coming from a distance, he patted the Nightmare Horse's neck and galloped towards it. Coming to Blatter's side, Huey jumped off the horse and slapped the horse's buttocks, which neighed and ran away.

"It looks so beautiful, doesn't it?" Huey said with a laugh.

"yes, I didn't expect you to be able to ride it so soon, they're not so easy to tame. The Marquis of Blatter replied with a smile.

"It's not very cooperative, sometimes it's petty, and it goes east and it goes west. If you ride it into battle now, you will either be led all the way into the enemy camp by it, or you will be forced by it to be the first deserter on the battlefield to flee before it has been fought. Huey was unimpressed by Blatter's compliment. He's the best at dealing with monsters. Many times, Xiu Yi even thinks that he is better at dealing with Warcraft than with people.

The Beast Trainers of the Church of the Scourge had taught him a lot of experience dealing with demonic beasts, and many of the things that Xiu had done were exactly the same as what he had done on Hellisland before. This is exactly what Isador told him: many things seem complicated on the surface, but the essence of things is often the same.

Electra's success is built on the path he has walked on.

And himself, at least when it comes to dealing with Warcraft, Xiu Yi has been on the right path from the beginning.

In the words of the animal trainers: you are already an animal tamer, but you are not present.

"It's already pretty good. The Marquis of Blatter was still unhurriedly saying unnutritious compliments.

"Then Lord Marquis Blatter has come here to find me because ......" Huey didn't continue, he knew that the other party would talk.

Blatter grinned and said, "There must be an answer to some things." The damage Neppelton has done to you has seriously affected our relationship, and while Mr. Gleyre is magnanimous and doesn't want to care about all this, the Sierra Empire must show it. ”

"Yes. Huey's expression was calm, and he beckoned, and one of the servants immediately served bright red wine. This is a fine wine made from crystal red grapes, which are specialties of Nanda 6, and it has a sweet and sweet taste, which is only enjoyed by nobles.

"First, I'm going to tell Mr. Glare that Nepulton has been severely punished......"

Xiu Yi raised his hand: "I'm not interested in what kind of punishment he receives, Lord Marquis Blatter, although I don't think I'm a magnanimous person, but I'm sure that if I see someone as an enemy, I will never need someone else to do it." I'll figure it out myself. Therefore, Nepulton is not my enemy, and what kind of treatment he receives has nothing to do with me. ”

Blatter was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

Huey's remarks mean that Blatter cannot be used as an apology to Huey for Neppelton's handling of the issue. That is to say, if you kill him, or exile him, Xiui doesn't care, and wants to use this as part of the compensation of the Sierra Empire, but there is no door.

Blatter sighed in his heart, the legendary boy in front of him was really not an easy person to deal with.

He was no longer wordy: "Considering the harm that Nepulton has done to you, the Sierra Empire is willing to transfer the Nepulton family's estate to you......"

Huey waved his hand again: "The Neppelton family's estate? Are you kidding? Do you know how many nobles will send me money as long as I nod?"

...... Blatter was speechless, but he knew Huey was right. Not to mention that Xiu Yi now has a huge industry of his own, not to mention his upcoming plan to use the teleportation circle to carry out the North-South Great 6 trade, just his existing alchemy ability is enough for enough nobles to throw a friendly olive branch to him.

Theoretically, as long as Xiui wants to, he can get untold wealth and resources.

This made the Marquis of Blatter hateful.

Because the boy in front of him is the most difficult boy in the world to buy, but he only accepts it.

This means that it may be difficult for me to lower the price of this "friendship acquisition".

Sighing, Marquis Blatter said helplessly: "I originally wanted to tell you that you can get the title of earl, and it seems that you won't care very much." ”

"When I was a wanted man in the Reims Empire, the Francons came looking for me everywhere, and they promised me a city, the title of Marquis. Later, when Emperor Miea ascended the throne, he also made it clear that he wanted me to stay in the Reims Empire, and he promised me ...... Prince. Huey replied to Blatter: "I refuse them all." ”

The Marquis of Blatter felt the urge to cry.

If it was someone else, he would definitely think it was bragging. But Huey's words made him unbelievable. The relationship between Huey and Avril has been heard of by Blatter, and considering this reason, Miyea can completely make Huey the Prince of the Reims Empire.

This is indeed a fact, but he doesn't know that Xiui didn't really reject Mieya's proposal, but only said that he needed some time to practice. He didn't care about the prince, but he couldn't help but care about Avril. But now, it became a bargaining chip for him to bargain with the Sierra Empire.

Real estate and pastoral Xiuyi don't want it, gold and silver wealth Xiuyi is not rare, and the noble title Xiuyi is regarded as dung, so the only thing that can impress Xiuyi is only one thing - alchemy resources.

True, Marquis Blatter and his Emperor had thought about this before they came, but in fact this was exactly what Emperor Jenkin did not want.

To some extent, alchemy resources are equivalent to the general term of oil resources, natural gas resources, and mineral resources on the earth, and perhaps it makes more sense for us to call it another term - strategic resources.

Huigler is equivalent to a scientist with the highest scientific and technological ability on the planet, but each country also has its own scientists, although they are not as strong as you, it does not mean that all the resources have to be given to you to use.

If it weren't for Isador's proposal, it is quite possible that Xiui would have become an important figure in the future resistance to the forces of the Abyss, and Emperor Jenkin might not have accepted the demand for resource compensation at all.

Therefore, Marquis Blatter said helplessly: "Nanda 6 has some alchemy resources, but we also need to use them ourselves. After all, His Majesty the Emperor's ambitions are high......"

Of course, Huey understood what the Marquis of Blatter meant. When an ambitious emperor has unified the entire Big 6, his eyes will inevitably be on a longer term. For example, the east and north two large 6.

Since you want to plant the flag of the Sierra Empire on the lands of the other big 6, war is inevitable. In this context, the importance of strategic resources for the Serra Empire is self-evident.

If the Sierra Empire gave a large amount of alchemy resources to Xiuyi at this time, just in exchange for some domestic teleportation circles and a friendship, it would be too inappropriate.

Unless Huey agrees to formally join the Serra Empire.

What Blatter wanted, or rather what Emperor Jenkin wanted, was a promise from Huey, but unfortunately Huey couldn't give it.

It's not just because of Avril, but for more important reasons.

At this moment, he said lightly: "Marquis Blatter, I understand the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor very well. But unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't help him in this matter. But I want you to show him that wolves may kill each other when they have no food to eat, but when a tiger comes, they will only choose to fight the same enemy. The abyss is the biggest threat to the Wind Roaring Big 6, and before this threat is eliminated, it's better not to think too much. ”

"But Basgate has been sealed. ”

Xiu Yi sighed, and he knew that the other party would think so: "Lord Marquis, it was only Basgate who was sealed, not the Abyss Demon Clan. The environment of the abyss is treacherous, resources are scarce, and many lives are not guaranteed there. But what can survive there is only a strong life. For the abyssal lifeforms, being able to enter the abundant Wind Roaring 6 from the abyss is something they have always dreamed of. This has nothing to do with whether the abyss has Basgate, it is only related to the needs of the race's survival, and Basgate's existence only points out a future direction for the abyss. A year ago, the reason why the abyss did not invade the Big 6 again may be related to the damage they suffered in the West 6. But 700 years of recuperation is enough to restore them to their prime. The peace of the last three hundred years, as far as I know, has a lot to do with that legendary great alchemist Electra. But it was clear that he had failed. Now no one knows whether the abyss, which has been dormant enough for a long time, will take the initiative again. Or maybe they're already here, we just don't know it. ”

Marquis Blatter was dumbfounded by this passage, and after thinking about it, he said: "Maybe it's because of this that Fengming Da 6 needs a unified voice, a unified command." ”

Huey shook his head.

Once Electra, Electra used war to grab resources and form a powerful puppet army to fight against the Death Legion of the Abyss. But what happened? he failed to defeat the Legion of the Dead without Basgate's protection, and was forced to send another version of himself back to the Wind Ringing 6.

For three hundred years, humanity has consumed a large amount of the last remaining resources of the Great 6 in the self-conquest, and it is impossible for alchemy to return to its previous heyday. Even if Xiu Yi concentrated all the resources of the three big 6, at best, it would only be the huge army that reproduced Electra, but it was impossible to cross. If there is a war on this basis and large-scale internal friction, then the legions that Xiui may have may not even reach half of what Electra once had.

This is something that Huey cannot tolerate.

Therefore, he does not want any more wars in various countries, which is a huge loss of human and material resources.

So he wants to be able to use business and political maneuver to get resources.

Times are changing, and in the current environment, peaceful coexistence is far more meaningful than a life-and-death contest.

blindly relies on his own strength to try to unify the three major 6s, but he is afraid that if he doesn't wait for the abyss to come, he will be finished first.

However, it seems that the Sierra Empire is not aware of this problem at the moment.

In fact, not only the Sierra Empire, but even the Reims Empire and the Frank Empire, I am afraid that they will not accept Xiuyi's opinion.

If he wants to buy alchemy resources on a large scale and build his own puppet army, I am afraid that all countries will panic at the first time, thinking that Xiui wants to become the second Electra.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiu Yi hated the old man a little.

As a legendary great alchemist, Electra does possess extraordinary intelligence. But as a commander-in-chief, he clearly has no political intelligence. The end result is that this crazy old man fights the entire abyss with his own strength. As powerful as he once was, he ended up with nothing but failure.

If he had united all the countries and attacked the abyss together, then the current Death Legion would have been doomed long ago. Even if Basgate gets out of trouble, it will not be possible to sweep the three big 6s on his own...... No matter how powerful his divine domain power is, it is not inexhaustible.

This also caused Xiu Yi to do whatever he wanted to do now, which would attract the extreme attention of other countries. Few people know about the good deeds that Electra has done, but the sins he has done are known to the whole world.

If he wants to solve this problem now, unless the abyss strikes immediately and the alarm rings the alarm bell of the whole big 6, he doesn't want to move all countries to support him.

It was at this moment that the communication crystal in Xiuyi's arms sent a fluctuation of magic.

Raschel, who was far away in Sido, sent a message to Huey asking for a call.
