Chapter 204 Chaldea in Power
Shen He looked at Joan who was very cute even when she was angry, and didn't know what to say for a while.
If they really wanted to fight, the empress might not win the saintess.
Don't look at Joan of Arc who seems to be gentle and kind at ordinary times, with a kind and pleasant appearance, but she is actually very firm in her heart, and when it comes to issues of principle, she will burst out with unimaginable strength and courage.
If you think it is necessary, let alone a companion, even a child can be treated with the tip of a spear.
So Shen He was still a little terrified.
He couldn't let the empress mess around, he had already made up his mind that his own wife was more important.
The banquet finally lasted until the next morning, and the final result was that Shen He almost gave up on letting the empress get along with the rest of the servants. Instead, she got along well with Tony and the others, but it was probably because Tony and the others couldn't see The true character of the Qing Empress.
Semiramis is one of those people who put on a smile on their face and actually don't take you seriously.
Shen He didn't know whether it was good or bad to summon such a servant.
But one thing is for sure, the Empress is the only Servant with a serious interest in the Chaldean faction of the Marvel universe.
Because at the end of the banquet, she offered to summon her treasure—the Hanging Garden of Vanity.
"I remember that if you want to build a sky garden, you must bring a certain amount of stone and soil from the ruins near Baghdad, the capital of Iraq." Shen He recalled the conditions for building a sky garden from his mind.
This type of positional treasure is indeed very suitable for the current Chaldea. After all, this is a floating city. Just look at the sky carrier built by S.H.I.E.L.D. With very strong strategic significance, it can be said to be the embodiment of miracles.
"It's not just like that." Semiramis's eyes seemed to be burning with a flame called anticipation, "The lonely sky garden has the characteristic that the higher the cost, the stronger the mystery. It will be greatly enhanced. With the resources of modern society, how far can the courtyard be strengthened? Gu Ke is very much looking forward to it.”
"The more you spend, the stronger you become?" Shen He was taken aback, "Endless?"
"The setting is endless." Semiramis smiled mysteriously, "Originally the Hanging Gardens of Babylon had nothing to do with Gu, but the falsity mixed in the legend of Gu made it a reality, which is similar to the master's Like a castle, a virtual place built with real objects, its powerful realm inherits the characteristics of virtuality, so how can it be restricted by reality?"
"Hiss—" Shen He couldn't help but gasped.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the Empress's Noble Phantasm, because although the Hanging Garden was powerful, it was only on the earth, but it was slightly inferior in the interstellar era.
Asgard alone is a kingdom directly established in the nebula, and it is crowned with the name of God's Domain.
But if the Queen's sky garden can be infinitely powerful, maybe it will continue to develop, and it may have a chance to make Chaldea another god's domain.
"It must be built." Shen He immediately made a decision, "I have to build it even if I lose everything. In other words, the garden itself is a huge wealth in China. The economic value of the floating city is definitely far more than any other city in the world."
History has proved countless times that only an open city is a powerful city. For example, in the original plot, Shiro Amakusa used the sky garden as a war fortress, which is actually a waste.
Shen He has already begun to imagine that in the future, the land will be sold at a sky-high price, and the whole sky garden will be prosperous.
"For making money, Gu will also help."
Semiramis did not hide his seductive smile at all.
One must know that the stronger the sky garden, the more invincible she is in the garden as an empress.
By the time.
Shen He didn't think so much all of a sudden, he was full of thoughts about the sky garden, but the two rituals, looking at the grinning empress, frowned.
"Well, you make a list for me first." Shen He finally said, "I will collect the materials as soon as possible, and build the most basic sky garden first."
The conversion rate of money and strength is also something that must be considered.
In case of bankruptcy and only get a garden that is useless except for novelty, the return on investment is too low.
"The strength of the Sky Garden is not only related to wealth, but also Gu's strength." Semiramis stretched out his hand towards Shen He, with an inexplicable blush on his face, "So, master, you must replenish the magic first." That's all."
"." Shen He became alert this time.
Because all of a sudden several sharp eyes focused on him, every emperor is an acting school, he did not believe that the empress would not be able to distinguish the difference between replenishing magic and strengthening.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of dog food, used half of the magic power to strengthen the empress, and then put on a straight face.
"That's all for the time being today. I want to see the effect of the sky garden first, and then decide how much resources to invest."
"Hey, what a boring man." Semiramis curled his lips, and then his spiritual body disappeared.
Only Shen He knew that she didn't leave at all, but was here.
I always feel that the queen's assassin skill will never be used for serious assassinations.
However, she was not an assassin in the first place, but a poisoner, and there is still an essential difference between the two.
"If you don't want to leave, don't hide."
The eyes of the two ceremonies turned ice blue in an instant, looking directly at a direction.
The magic eye is dead, but it still has the ability to see through all falsehoods.
"."
After a long time, the Empress slowly showed her figure, her expression was not angry, but there was a trace of solemnity.
"Your eyes"
She still didn't say anything in the end, and took a deep look at the two rituals, her figure disappeared again, this time she really left.
Shen He couldn't say anything about it.
However, originally his followers were not harmonious and intimate. After all, when people from different worlds, identities, and personalities gather together, it is normal to have some small conflicts. How to properly handle the degree of conflicts, It depends on the ability of the Master Shen He.
"Okay, the banquet is over, if you want to go back to rest, go and have a good rest."
Shen He stood up from his seat, clapped his hands, and the messy party scene suddenly became clean.
He didn't sleep all night, it was nothing to him, he simply didn't bother to sleep, let the maids take care of the drunk guests, and he took Joan out of the castle by himself.
Coulson was not drunk, but left early in the middle of the night to prepare for the next day's work. The entire virtual reality company cannot operate without him, which made Shen He always feel that it was a bit wrong direction.
As an elite agent, Coulson's specialty is not management.
I don't know if the empress is interested in management, but such an idea suddenly appeared in Shen He's mind.
Lelouch also reminded him before that as Chaldea's power in the Marvel world grows, it is best to control the main power in the hands of the servants, in case anything happens with Coulson and Tony in the future conflict of ideas.
Now is a good opportunity.
While refining the idea in his mind, Shen He called Coulson who had just finished the meeting to his office.
"Kolson, now that the war has come to an end, what will be your main job next?" Shen He asked.
"There are three main aspects." This is exactly what Coulson discussed at the meeting just now, "1. The production and sale of the virtual sleeping cabin and war weapons, 2. The collection and research of alien loot, Three, the international diplomatic issues after the Kingdom of Attilan and the Kingdom of Wakanda appeared in front of the world."
Even though Coulson didn't explain in detail, Shen He knew very well that none of these three aspects was simple.
First of all, the promotion of virtual worlds and civilian robots is likely to face a series of problems. Because of the relationship of interests, the World Security Council's tentative actions will definitely have.
Secondly, there are not a few terrorist organizations on the earth with evil elements. The Hydra who is hiding and the Mandarin who has no way out are just the two most famous. The rest of the villains, even some ambitious little people, may use These aliens left over things to do things, in the next period of time, the work pressure of the guardians and agents will be relatively high.
Then there is the last point, Attilan and the Kingdom of Wakanda.
Both of these two kingdoms have great potential. One is a mysterious super power, which may represent the mystery of power and the truth of life, while the other represents advanced technology and huge wealth. Their sudden appearance is bound to bring a bloody reshuffle to the world's original interest groups.
It is impossible for Chaldea to stand idly by because they are driving the status quo today.
Shen He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, he was thinking about the current situation, Coulson didn't interrupt, just stood quietly aside.
"Is there anyone who joined the Extraordinary Foundation we launched earlier?"
Shen He suddenly thought of such a foundation for managing special abilities that was launched during the prestige.
"Only some Inhumans gathered by Skye's mother before." Coulson seemed a little helpless about this, "Some of them don't want to go to the moon, so we help them hide their identities and give them a job, while the rest People with extraordinary abilities either want to do evil, or want to be heroes, or hide it, such a foundation is not attractive and authoritative to them."
The vast majority of people have a sense of fear for powerful organizations.
A foundation built by Chaldea and virtual reality companies inevitably has that feeling.
Even the guardian company that Shen He wants to launch is the same.
I hope that those who want to join are probably only those who yearn for the guardians very much, and most people's yearning for heroes is only limited to the appearance of "playing cool". That's right, if they really want to join the Guardian Company and become professional war weapon operators, they will all have a resistance.
Just like ordinary people face the strict management in the army, it is not bad to experience military training once in a while, but if you really join the army, you must strictly obey every move, and many people will feel uncomfortable.
"Do you have any plans?" Shen He asked further, "Regarding the future, what kind of image should Chaldea establish in people's minds?"
"The image of the future?" Coulson was taken aback.
"That's right." Shen He nodded, "What do you think is the image of Chaldea in the hearts of ordinary people after this war?"
"Probably" Coulson thought for a while, "respect, admiration, and fear. Although we keep saying that we are protecting peace, we have shown amazing strength after all."
Even though everyone knows that elephants are vegetarian, seeing one in the wild can still be scary.
Because being strong is the original sin.
Even now, the Chaldean threat theory is still very popular, because since they appeared in front of the world, they have been constantly showing their strength.
"Let me give you an example." Shen He continued, "The United States is the most powerful country on earth. This country often shows the threat of force to the outside world, but even so, people all over the world are still scrambling to come here. Why? ?”
"Because after coming here, the strength of the United States is not someone else's, but our own." Coulson responded quickly.
He has already noticed that Shen He is guiding, or luring him to say an answer, or plan, that Shen He wants to hear.
This is the usual practice of leaders
Coulson didn't know whether to say he was relieved or worried, let his subordinates say what he wanted to do, so that the subordinates could not refuse or refute, Shen He was undoubtedly moving towards a real leader, even " "King" approached.
"Then what should we do to make the strength of Chaldea become the strength of the people?" Shen He further induced.
"This is a problem with the system." Coulson quickly corrected his mentality, "The company's system can't do this. If the country's system is to protect civilians, then the company's system is to exploit employees. The essential difference, unless Chaldea is established like Attilan and attracts people to join with favorable conditions, but”
Coulson didn't say the latter, but Shen He also understood what he wanted to say.
If Chaldea wants to establish a country, it is simply a huge threat to all countries in the world.
After all, Chaldea is not divided into races like Attilan, nor is it divided into cultures like Wakanda. If Chaldea is established, it can include the whole world little by little.
"I'm not going to die, I really want to rule the world, I'm afraid you will stop me immediately." Shen He smiled and waved his hands, and said directly, "I mean, build a city, a city managed by Chaldea himself. "
The last sentence is the point.
This is a city managed by Chaldea himself, and only when Chaldea manages it personally will it have the powerful effect of sharing.
Chaldea has finally decided to take power herself. This is the only thought in Coulson's mind at this time.
