Starting From Zero

Chapter 45: You Can Say It, I Can Do It.

"You want me to be your subordinate?"

"It can't be regarded as a subordinate. It should be regarded as a cooperative relationship. Of course, if you are willing to join our guild, I would welcome you."

"It's a beautiful idea." Louise said directly: "I don't like men, and it is absolutely impossible to join your organization."

"Even if you join our guild, it doesn't mean you have to be in contact with men, right? Our guild is not just for men. I can definitely arrange for you to have a team of all-female attendants to assist you in your work."

Louise thought for a moment and said, "But I don't like to stay in a very oppressive environment."

"Aggrieved? Why do you think our guild is aggrieved?"

"Isn't it?" Louise said seriously: "I come here to participate in the Magic Festival once a month, and then Chapter 45, you can say it, I can do it. I am here the rest of the time. You are free in the magic forest, and you can do whatever you want. When I join you... what will your name be?"

"Guild."

"Yes. After I join your guild, I will be locked in a small room every day to make candies for you. Am I not that stupid?"

I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard this answer, but in order to get Louise to join our guild, I patiently explained to her: "I didn't say I would lock you in a room, as long as you don't mind, You can move around at will. Of course, given your special status, if you want to leave our guild's territory, we will definitely send someone to protect you. As for making magic desserts, I don't think you have to do it yourself. Bring a few Being an apprentice shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

"Aren't you feeling aggrieved when you say this?" Louise said, "If you leave your sphere of influence, someone will follow you. So what's the difference in going to jail?"

"Didn't I say that we won't send people to follow you within our sphere of influence? We will only send people to protect you when you enter an area that we cannot absolutely control."

Louise said disdainfully: "Isn't that different? Your power Chapter 45 You can say it, I can do it. How big can the range of power be? Is it as big as the Wizard's Canyon?"

"Wizard's Canyon?"

"Yes, this is the canyon we are standing in now. Can your sphere of influence be as big as this? I need a space several times this area to move around. When will you be able to control a canyon several times larger than this one? If you double the area, I will join your guild. No need to cooperate, I will directly become your subordinate."

Hearing this, I directly stretched out my hand and said: "Congratulations on making the right choice. From now on, you will be the exclusive magic dessert chef of our Frost Rose Alliance."

"Wait a minute. When did I say I wanted to join your guild?" Louise shouted immediately after hearing my words.

Before I could speak, Ling spoke for me: "Our guild currently owns four super cities, thirty-three ordinary cities, seventeen towns, and eighty-three villages. There is also a floating continent. The area is still uncertain, but it should be at least a hundred times larger than this canyon. This is only the area of ​​our towns directly under our jurisdiction. In addition to the towns, the sphere of influence we are talking about also includes the actual control areas of our guild and the super-influential affiliated areas. , the total area of ​​these areas should not be less than one million square kilometers, is this area enough for your activities?"

"One...one million square kilometers?"

"This is a conservative estimate, because although some areas are under our actual control, we cannot be sure that they are safe. After excluding these areas, there are probably so many remaining areas."

Louise was stunned for a long time before she woke up from the shock caused by this huge number. Then she suddenly argued: "I...I don't like every place. Don't think that just because the city is big. I don't like the excitement, and I can't get used to living in the city."

"You can live in the Sky City in the twin cities of Essinger, the headquarters city of our guild."

"Isn't that in the city?"

"You just said that you don't like crowds, but you don't hate cities. The ground city in Essinger Twin Cities is open to the public, and the sky city is the exclusive area of ​​our guild. Currently, our guild only has a total of more than 200,000 adventurers. members and nearly 100 million natural existences, but they are all distributed around the world. Essinger's is a dedicated area for adventurers, and the armed forces are in Essinger Mobile Fortress. Office staff are all in Essinger Ground City and Sky City. There are only residences for adventurers. But because everyone usually works in various places, Essinger is almost a ghost town. Sometimes there are only a dozen or twenty people in a few square kilometers, and it is absolutely quiet enough that you can hear yourself Heartbeat. How is it? How is this environment?"

"I don't like living in the city."

"Then live in Steel City."

"Steel City is not a city?"

"The outer areas of Steel City are deserts, but they are all under the absolute control of our guild. We can build you a studio in the desert, surrounded by no-man's land. How about that?"

"I don't want to live in the desert."

"Then where do you want to live? In the forest like now? It doesn't matter, we have one too, and it's very big."

"I don't want to live in the forest. It's all a forest, so I might as well live here and not move. I don't want to live on the ground."

"We also have dungeons. We have four dungeons in total, respectively..."

Louise said with sweat on her forehead: "Stop talking, I don't want to live in the underground city."

"Then you don't want to live on the ground... Oh. I understand. Our guild also has an underwater city. The whole city is underwater. When you look up, you can see the sea water and there are many beautiful fish. Swim outside and play in the water when you have nothing to do.”

Louise couldn't help but have a look of yearning on her face when she heard my words, but after enduring it for a long time, she suppressed it and continued to find fault: "I don't want to live under the sea. I want to live far away from the ground. But I don't want the underground and the seabed."

"Is that so?"

Seeing me thinking about it, she immediately showed a proud smile and said: "How is it? Isn't it good? I just said you are not strong enough. You still want me to work for you if you can't meet these requirements?" nothing."

"Is it okay as long as it's not on the ground or underground or under the sea?"

"Not even on the sea. I don't want to live on an island."

"What about heaven?"

"Heaven?" Louise was stunned again. Although it is a succubus parasite. But Louise is still half human after all and has not fully inherited the characteristics of a succubus, so she has no wings and cannot fly. Even though she deliberately went against me to find fault with me, her yearning for the sky cannot be ignored. However, Louise is definitely one of the more exaggerated types of rebellious girls. Even though she likes the sky very much, she is willing to give up practical benefits and speak quickly in order to be rebellious. "What in the sky are you talking about? Do you still have a city that can fly?"

Under Louise's surprised eyes, I nodded slowly and said: "We do have one, and more than one. In addition, we also have floating islands. Several of them have been trimmed into floating forts and aerial building complexes, but there are still There are some unmodified floating islands with good environment. How about I choose one for you?"

"I, I, I..." After holding it in for a long time, Louise gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care about it."

"Then what kind of environment do you want to live in? Just tell me."

Louise hesitated when she heard my words, because she had just rejected all the environments she could think of, from heaven to earth to the bottom of the sea. Where else could the city be? However, she just wanted to have trouble with me anyway. Even so, she still thought about it for a long time and gritted her teeth and said: "I want to live outside the main material plane."

"Louise. Don't mess around." The Great Demon King Hargros finally couldn't help but speak. "Can the plane barrier be opened easily? You should have a sense of restraint when making troubles."

Louise did not give up immediately after hearing the scolding of the Great Demon King Hagrolos, but said coquettishly: "He said that as long as I can say it. I said it now. If he can't do it, it means he is not strong enough. He is not worthy of recruiting me. .”

The Great Demon King Hargros wanted to continue educating Louise, but I reached out to stop him. Looking at Louise, I asked very seriously: "As long as I can arrange a work area for you outside this plane, will you agree to join our guild and be my subordinate?"

"Of course." Louise said very definitely, but as soon as she finished speaking, she became a little uncertain again, because she always felt that I wouldn't ask this if I couldn't do it, but if I could do it, I wouldn't ask. This is too incredible. After all, the plane barrier is not that easy to open, just like what the Great Demon King Hargros said. So she still thought I was bluffing. "I just like to live in other planes, and I want to be able to travel to and from the main plane frequently. Also, the space cannot be too small. Don't think that just having a few rooms counts as an alien plane."

"Are you really sure?"

"OK. As long as the above requirements are met, I will join."

"Then let's sign and confirm." I took out a scroll directly and said, "In case some people refuse to pay, let's sign a contract to guarantee it."

Louise glanced at my contract scroll, and then she was stunned for a long time before she suddenly said firmly: "Sign it, just sign it, who is afraid of whom?"

The agreement is very fast to draft. After all, it is a system agreement. You can formulate the terms according to your requirements just by thinking about it, and it can be modified quickly. After completing the agreement, I signed my name, handed it to Louise and said, "You have to be sure. Although the environment in the alien plane is good, if you have such strength..."

My words were obviously provocative and contemptuous, and Louise obviously had an extremely rebellious character. After hearing my words, she immediately started to instinctively counterattack: "As long as you can get it out, I dare to live in it. And don’t forget, I want to be able to come back and forth at any time, but don’t leave the door open for a long time.”

"Don't worry about this. Okay, let's sign."

Seeing me being so decisive, Louise began to murmur in her heart, but after thinking about it, she still felt it was impossible, and finally signed her name without mercy. "Here you go, I've signed it. If you can, give me an alien studio. Don't forget that it's stipulated in the agreement. If you can't get it, you will also be punished."

"I'm not as stupid as you." I said as I snapped my fingers, and with a bang, a door hit the room, making a hole in the ground. The base of the door sank, but fortunately The floor of this cabin is not very high from the ground, so the floor does not affect the opening and closing of the door.

As this door fell to the ground. The door panel silently opened a crack inward, and then billowing purple-black gas poured out from it, instantly spreading a layer under our feet.

"Ah..." Louise screamed immediately after coming into contact with the gas, because she felt the bone-chilling cold. It was not coldness on the surface of the body, but a coldness that felt as if even the soul would freeze.

Amidst Louise's screams, I stood in front of the door, then made an invitation gesture to the door, and then said: "Although the environment cannot be said to be very pleasant, at least it is definitely quiet enough. Please, we have to Miss Magic Pastry Chef.”

"This...what is this place?"

"Hell, the underworld, and the underworld are all the same world anyway. How about it? Does this meet your requirements? It's an absolute alien plane, and it's very famous. You should have heard of it."

The underworld in "Zero" is actually an independent world. You can imagine it as a planet with the same continents as the earth. Then people from various countries will enter different areas after death. The border between these areas is the Sea of ​​Silence. In fact, most of the underworld is the Sea of ​​Silence, and the land is distributed like islands on the Sea of ​​Silence. Although this place is very common. But you have to admit it. This place is indeed an alien plane.

"Ah... I don't want to go in. How can people live in a place like this? This is a place where the dead live. No one can enter at all!" Louise was almost scared to cry. After all, this is the underworld, a place where the dead gather. , that’s the kind of place no living person would want to go to.

I pretended not to know and asked, "But this is what you said yourself, as long as it is an alien plane."

"Even if it's an alien plane, at least it has to be a place where people can live! Not to mention the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, at least it has to have a normal environment. I don't recognize this kind of place!"

"Sorry. You have signed the agreement, even if you don't admit it. I have completed my part of the agreement, and the agreement will still be in effect."

"Why don't you do it... I don't want to admit it. There is no place for people to live in this kind of place. If you don't do it, you have to move to another plane. This doesn't count. If you don't do it, I will be passive and slow down in the future, and I will not join your guild. live."

"Although we already have an agreement, considering that the underworld is indeed not suitable for normal people to live in, and to show my generosity, I can allow you to modify the agreement again." At this point, I paused again, and then continued. : "But I made a deal. If I find another alien plane and you still refuse to live in it, then you must complete the agreement and become a member of our guild no matter what, and you are not allowed to be picky in the future. I will determine the living conditions. You only have the right to make suggestions. Whether or not you adopt them is entirely up to me. Moreover, you are not allowed to use any excuse to passively slow down your work."

"You can't force me anymore with this uninhabitable environment." Louise said thinking she was smart.

I nodded: "The environment this time is absolutely first-class, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The whole thing is like a big garden. In fact, it is indeed a garden."

"A garden in another dimension?"

"Correct. So, you can no longer shirk it. Come on, take a look at the last alien plane I prepared for you." I said and put away the Gate of Hell, and then a golden gate appeared and unfolded automatically. .

Although the Gate of the Earth is not as violent as the Gate of Hell, its appearance frightened everyone present. The previous Gate of Hell only shocked Louise. Neither the Great Demon King Hargros nor the Attendant Clydia had any reaction, but this time, even the two of them stared in front of them with their mouths open. I was completely stunned inside the gate.

"Come on Louise, how is the environment here? Look at the sky, the grass, the forest and the lake in the distance, what a perfect environment. How about it? Let you work here from now on?"

"Ugh...you are bullying..." To my surprise, Louise started crying directly. Of course I knew that she didn't dare to enter the Gate of the Earth, but I didn't expect that she would start crying.

Hearing Louise's cry, the Great Demon King Hargros recovered from the shock, and quickly hugged Louise to comfort her, but later he still said slightly reproachfully: "The strength of President Ziri He is very strong, and you have a better future by following him than staying here. You should know what is good and stop quarreling with President Ziri."

"But do I really dare not live in it! Sister Hagros, don't you feel the breath in there? That suffocating sense of oppression, I feel like I am going to disappear!"

When the Great Demon King Hagros heard this, he glanced at the Gate of the Earth with lingering fear, and then said comfortingly: "Don't worry, President Ziri is not so unkind. I guess he opened this plane just to scare you. Who told you to deliberately cause trouble for others? You used to live happily in a small wooden house in the forest. None of the floating islands, underwater cities, etc. provided by President Ziri are tens of thousands of times better than the small wooden house. ? Don’t worry, as long as you sincerely apologize to President Ziri, he won’t argue with you.”

"Really?"

As soon as Louise finished speaking, I jumped in front of the Great Demon King Hagros and said: "As long as you work hard for our Frost Rose Alliance in the future, I will certainly not treat you badly. As for where to live, what kind of environment do you like? That's fine with me, I'll help you make arrangements. But don't make things difficult for me this time. Otherwise, I'll let you live in the eighteenth level of hell next time."

"Oh, can't I just be obedient?"

Although Louise's character is a little rebellious and lively, in my opinion this kind of character is actually the best, because this is her nature. Although she looks a bit rebellious, she is actually very sincere. Compared with Thinking of the kind of person who smiles like a flower in front of you and then turns around and stabs you in the back, I still feel that being more frank like this makes people feel more affectionate. Moreover, it can be said that Louise's character is not caused by herself. You must know that she was originally a high-level succubus. Although her soul was wiped out, her body memory will not be erased. The psychological characteristics of succubi are very strange to begin with. Louise is just a little rebellious, and she is pretty good without turning into a psychotic and perverted woman. (To be continued)rq! ! !
