For the entire continent, the hottest news right now is Rhodes' Territory of the Void. No matter where you go, you can hear people discussing the new territory. mercenaries is eager to take risks, merchants is coveted by the rich resources there, even the general public is happily discussing the topic of that territory, especially those who are near the Territory of the Void area, but also refers to the outside world The person tells the strange sky, the earth and the sun, moon and stars. Various news spread throughout the entire continent, and the first to bear the brunt, Moon and Kingdom of Light are naturally involved in the vortex of the news.
"Really, you haven't seen it, but the sun there is so big ............ !!!"
In the tavern, a adventurer drooled towards the audience around him, and both hands drew a big circle in the void.
"Absolutely not to lie to you, it is really so big, it is much bigger than the sun here, and it seems to be closer to the sky, I tell you, the moon there can be half full There is a sky !!! There should be such a big sun, it should be very hot, no! I can tell you, the place is not hot at all, and it is particularly cool and comfortable. A friend of mine lives in it now, he told me there It ’s paradise! The soil is so fertile that you can grow a large piece of it without throwing any seeds at all! "
"Ooooh !!!"
Listening to mercenary's eloquent narrative, the crowd around him called can't help but, they don't care how the other party knows the news. For these local people who live here, they do It ’s not as easy as mercenary, wherever you want to go. But just listening to the other party's description made some of can't help but aspire. For most people, the emergence of Territory of the Void is nothing more than a chat after dinner.
However, for some people, this is a matter of life and death.
"Emissary of Territory of the Void once again asked us to ask us to belong to the leadership of Dragon of the Void and submit to him."
Putting down the letter in his hand, the young man in front of him revealed a bit of worry. He looked up and looked at the old man sitting at the top.
"Master City Lord, I think we should really think long, no matter what you think, now the entire Highland City is under Dragon Soul Asylum, we have no choice at all. As for the Parliament side of the light, I do n’t think they have the ability to cash in Your own commitment, and it's not good for us, is it? "
"Nonsense!"
Hearing his own rebuttal, old man raised his beard, frowned, and glared at the man in front of him.
"Do n’t blind your eyes for temporary greed, the so-called Territory of the Void is just a territory just born. What ability does he have to fight against Kingdom of Light? If you make a stupid choice now, then unfortunately It ’s still our people, could it be, you forgot, did those guys end before? We ca n’t afford another blow like this now! "
"Yes, Master City Lord is right."
"Compared with Kingdom of Light, the Territory of the Void is totally unclimate at the moment. We just accidentally entered the sphere of influence of the other party. The first thing to do now is to stay calm. If you ca n’t even do that, If so, how about leading the entire city? "
In the face of the comments of the people with old man in front of him, youngster didn't say much. He just shook his head and then returned to the crowd. old man looked at him with dissatisfied eyes, then raised the mallet in his hand and knocked hard.
"So, so decided, for the Territory of the Void side, we do n’t want to respond for the time being. As for the Kingdom of Light's envoy, we can appropriately reveal our bottom line to them, but do n’t be too obvious, understand Are you? This is the most important moment for our Highland City. Whether we can get rid of the present fate depends on the present !!! "
The mallet heavily knocked down and announced today ’s end of the meeting.
The man walked out of the lobby helplessly, and soon saw several figures greet him.
"How is it? Cliff? What do City Lord say over there?"
"No, sir, he still expects the light of Parliament, and there are many people who support him. I have no way to persuade City Lord to change his mind ........."
Speaking of which, Cliff shook his head helplessly. As one of the deputies of Master City Lord, he actually does not agree with the opinions of Master City Lord, but now he is helpless. original Highland City is just a city that is struggling to survive on the border of Order. They live a hard and poor life here and endure the exploitation and oppression from the interior of Kingdom of Light. This has made many people including Cliff unable to endure anymore. The light of Parliament is bursting, but they also have no way. As a border area, Highland City itself does not have any particularly powerful strength, nor does it have any reliance. Most of the food needs to be imported from inland, and it needs to be very high. The price. Although here is close to Land of Chaos, there are many valuable minerals buried under the eroded land of magic power, but Highland City has not been able to become the second Solagang Mountain Region. On the contrary, they have become the fat meat in the eyes of the Kingdom of Light Chamber of Commerce. Those precious mineral deposits did not bring much benefit to Highland City, but brought disaster to them. Many people in Highland City earn their living from mining, but their remuneration is only half of the miners in other regions. Not only that, even the inland chambers of commerce are not using gold coins, but gold coins plus Grain ——— on these grains, but also some old grain! !
In the history of Highland City, it is not that they have not resisted the Kingdom of Light's tyranny. Those once unbearable miners have gathered to hold protest demonstrations, demanding their due benefits and treatment, and finally the protest demonstrations have evolved into a huge momentum. The parade even drove away several representatives of the Kingdom of Light Chamber of Commerce character.
But soon, Parliament of Light responded. They characterized the protest demonstration of Highland City as a riot and sent troops to suppress it. Although it is true that the Kingdom of Light's army is not working now, the fight against undead creature is basically a one-touch collapse. However, the miners used to deal with Highland City, which do not even have regular equipment, are all shirtless and waved the muscles of the **** and there is no problem. If even such a group of miners can't handle it, I'm afraid this huge country will really fall apart.
In the end, the "riots" of the miners were suppressed and several Leaders were put in jail and then executed. After that, Kingdom of Light also strengthened the "management" of Highland City. Now in Highland City, almost all the affairs are controlled by Five Major Financial Groups, whether it is food, water or ore, or even commercial trade. Here, Highland City Of residents work hard, but pay little, and even solving food and clothing is sometimes a problem. And those representatives who are sent by the Chamber of Commerce are eating the most delicious food, drinking the sweetest wine, and living a life of extreme luxury.
This naturally makes many Highland City people including Cliff uncomfortable with each other ’s actions, but they have no way. Since the previous riots, soldier in Highland City has increased a lot, and all of them are affiliated. The private soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce belong to Highland City's own military strength, and there are only a pitiful guard of more than one hundred ... What can people do at this point? If it was before, they can only tolerate the oppression of the other party, but now, with the advent of Territory of the Void, Cliff and other youngster found that they have a new opportunity.
If they can get the assistance and care of Territory of the Void, they may be able to get rid of the current situation of being exploited by Kingdom of Light and live a better life than they are now. This is an adventure, but youngster is not afraid of taking risks. After being aware of the current situation of Highland City, Cliff has carefully studied the territory and asked a lot about the Lord ——— Rhodes Ellant in that territory.
Of course, in Kingdom of Light, Rhodes' bad talk is naturally more than good talk, but for Cliff, this is good news. The ruler of Territory of the Void is a complete Anti-Parliament of Light Faction, which is really good for Highland City. If they can win the support of that person, they can certainly get rid of the plight of being bound by Kingdom of Light and find a brand new path.
Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with this idea.
Many old man including City Lord are very skeptical about this. They do n’t think how powerful Territory of the Void is. After all, it is a new territory, but the powerful Kingdom of Light's is the ——— that they witnessed. In terms of the entire continent, the current Kingdom of Light itself is like an elephant who has been ill, and no medicine is available, anyone can bully. But conversely, the elephant who is ill again is also an elephant, and it doesn't take much effort to step on an ant, right? The Highland City is the ant. Therefore, old mans headed by City Lord are not willing to change the court. After all, they are used to this kind of life, and they are also used to finding their place in this kind of life. But if you change Territory of the Void, it means everything has to be done again. Will things go in a better or worse direction? No one knows, but in those old man's view, it is the right choice not to change the status quo.
And what makes those old mans excited is that just a while ago, Parliament of Light actually sent representatives to Highland City to convey to them the news that Parliament of Light is willing to help Highland City to develop and build. This immediately excited those old mans, and they also understood that this was because of the Territory of the Void event, so the unheard of light, Parliament, began to show their favor to them uncharacteristically. And this is also very good news for them, including City Lord, many people are considering taking this opportunity as the status of upgrade Highland City, and making it the most important goal of Parliament of light, they think that once the light of Parliament recognizes The importance here, then the treatment of Highland City will be much better, and they will benefit from it.
But Cliff sneered at this. In his opinion, those old man simply are brains rigid, completely bent by fear, and they do n’t want to think about it. If the light Parliament really valued here, how could it be assured that this important Let the city manage them? By that time, Parliament of Light will definitely send more officials of high level to take over the current position of City Lord, and City Lord himself may just be thrown away as if they were thrown out after running out. I don't know where he has such great confidence now, so I'm so sure that I can get the trust of Parliament.
If Cliff comes from the earth, then he can use one sentence to describe the performance of City Lord ——. I was going to Mingyue. The so-called falling flowers are intentional, and the water is ruthless. How can the Parliament of others light trust a puppet?
And what makes Cliff even more headache is that in Highland City, in addition to the two parties headed by Cliff and City Lord, there are also neutral third parties, and their dreams are even more speechless. ——— They even expect to use Highland City The special status can benefit from going back and forth between Kingdom of Light and Territory of the Void, and then become an independent key area that can influence the existence of Kingdom of Light and Territory of the Void. By that time, no matter who it is, they will look at their eyes and act, which comes to mind ... … Hahaha, so cool ... …………
He did n’t even have the mood to refute Cliff. He could n’t think of anyone other than an idiot who would actually agree with this view. Indeed, after Dragon Soul Asylum was launched, the role of Highland City was immediately highlighted. But because of this, they are also in absolute danger. Such a critical place, whether it is the light of Parliament or Territory of the Void, will never let go. Let you stand out and lead their noses? Do you treat them all as fools?
As for City Lord's fear of Parliament of light, Cliff can only show that it is really stupid to the extreme. Parliament of light is really terrifying, but could it be Territory of the Void is the same as character? Although Kingdom of Light is full of discrediting Rhodes', it is always based on facts. From this point, it can be seen that he is definitely a cruel generation. If the rumors in Kingdom of Light are true, could it be, you are not afraid to slay the city directly after angering the other party. ? Anyway, for Rhodes, the most important thing is the geographical location of Highland City, not the people living on it. Although Cliff doesn't quite believe the rumors, if these rumors are true, then it is certain that the one called Rhodes' young Lord is more difficult to deal with than Parliament. At least Parliament has a face, but the young Lord can be said to do whatever it takes to achieve its purpose. You dare to provoke this kind of person. Is it really boring?
"Hey ..............."
After hearing Cliff ’s answer, some of his subordinates also appeared a little helpless, but now they also do n’t have a very good way. After all, these youngster do n’t have any rights in Highland City. Those Kingdom of Light's businessmen walked too close together, so although they are very worried about the future fate of Highland City, they are powerless in the face of such a situation. After all, their power is too weak.
"Forget it, Cliff, those old guys will not give up their rights, I think we should fight for and change our own destiny. Now those old guys are swinging, which is not for us could it be is not The best opportunity? We should take advantage of this opportunity to contact Territory of the Void in private. If we can succeed, then we can get rid of the days of continued oppression by Parliament! Only this time, if we lose this opportunity, We are afraid we will have no choice anymore! "
"Of course I know, but this is not the time."
After hearing some eager remarks from his companion, Cliff frowned. He first glanced left and right to confirm that no one else had eavesdropped on his speech before he lowered his voice.
"Now Parliament ’s eyeliners are being collected everywhere. If we act unauthorized now, they may be found by them, and we will be defeated by then. We are not without chance, but we need to have enough patience. If we Even if there is no patience at all, what is the difference from that group of old guys? Do n’t be impatient, we still have a chance. ”
Speaking of this, Cliff waved his hand.
"So that's it, I still have to meet the merchants from Kingdom of Light ......... Well, those guys, they are running fast now, they never looked at us before!"
Speaking of this, Cliff can't help but complained a little, then he turned around, sighed, shook his head, then turned around and left.
The greeted guests arrived at Highland City after half an hour.
I saw the luxurious, horse-drawn carriage inlaid with Phnom Penh from the road, Cliff can't help curling the lip. He has never had much affection for those businessmen. In their eyes, nothing but money is important, only money is the most important. Anything can be bought and sold, and there is nothing you ca n’t buy with money ... The most annoying thing about Cliff is the self-righteousness of those businessmen, but unfortunately, as a deputy of City Lord, he still has to do his profession work.
Soon, the carriage came to Cliff's side and gradually stopped, then the door opened. At this time, the indifference and disdain on Cliff's face had long disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented warm smile.
"Dear Guest, welcome to Highland City, my name is Cliff Babette, and I am happy to serve you."
He walked almost in front of the carriage, lowered his head, and said enthusiastically that the lines had been repeated hundreds of times, but at the moment when Cliff's eyes cast into the carriage, he can't help gawking.
I saw that in the carriage, a girl with golden fluffy curly hair and a beautiful girl with black supple long hair calm stared at her. That gaze was so peaceful that it even made Cliff can't help but a little trembling Soon, he heard the other party's answer.
"Hello, Mr. Cliff. I am Miranda Salem from Kingdom of Light Salem Chamber of Commerce ..."
PS: Today, the **** **** downstairs engaged in the circuit. As a result, my PS3 smoked! ! It's terrible! ! I do n’t know if I can repair it again ... …… T_TRS
