Chapter 2514 Cunning Luke

Simmons Locke was speechless.

As far as he was concerned, no adventurer should be a road fool.

However, I, who had the closest relationship with him, slapped him hard.

So he was depressed, completely disregarding his image, and uttered a curse word.

This is the first time since I met him that I heard him swear, his voice was loud and powerful.

Perhaps emperors have been cursing like this since ancient times.

He is an elder, so he can naturally vent his anger by swearing, but I cannot retort with the same irritating language, because I am a junior, and because her grandniece is my fiancée.

Marriage has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that I can obtain the resources of the marriage partner, but the disadvantage is that the parents of the marriage partner become my parents, and my seniority status is quickly reduced.

For example, right now, I can only endure Simmons Locke's anger with lowered eyebrows, but I can't retaliate.

Fortunately, the fury of thunder is fleeting, and Simmons Locke also understands that even if he gets angry again, it cannot change the fact that I am a road idiot.

So he sighed deeply and said melancholy: "Since you can tell me about the apostle, it means that you have a plan. Tell me, what is your plan?"

"Of course, I have also introduced you to the apostle. After all, there are many allies and many paths. With the apostle's power, some of the troublesome things we find before him come to him. Maybe he can solve them with just a few moves."

"I hope so" Simmons Locke asked again: "When do you plan to introduce him?"

"I will contact you to meet with the apostle after I finish the matter here."

"It's better to be faster," Simmons Locke said: "I have a feeling that those treasonous forces are ready to move again. Maybe it won't be long before I will be very busy again."

"receive."

After hanging up the call, I slowly walked back to the negotiation table.

The atmosphere on the negotiating table seemed a bit solemn at this moment, especially the two parties, Priscilla Elder and Luke, were constantly quarreling with each other's eyes.

But obviously, in terms of profound vision, Elder Priscilla is far from the opponent of this old monster with hundreds of millions of years of experience.

But she still struggled to hold on and refused to give in.

I'm very confused, what kind of issue would cause the two big bosses to confront each other?

With doubts, I asked Master Dewey softly.

It wasn't until I spoke that Master Dewey noticed my presence, and couldn't help but said angrily: "What took you so long? Are you going to build a toilet?"

I smiled awkwardly: "I drank too much water."

Then he asked: "What happened to them?"

Master Dewey pondered for a second, then lowered his voice and said, "Luke wants a rich island, as well as some manpower and materials to build a city."

"Then give it to him," I said disapprovingly, "We don't lack that much manpower."

Master Dewey gave me a strange look, and then added: "You probably didn't understand what I meant. Luke wants an island, as well as some manpower and materials. Listen carefully, it's 'asking', not 'borrowing' '!"

Want. Borrow. Want? want!

Luke wants manpower? Instead of borrowing manpower? Isn't this a joke!

Not to mention that Moonlight City would not agree to this request, nor would Fort Vicky agree to it. Even Airey City, which has the most extreme class divisions, would definitely not agree to it!

Human beings are not only the elements that make up a country, but also the representatives of productivity and the guarantee for maintaining the continuity of the country!

Of course, there is no need to say more about the royal family, nobles and common people. Even the poor have their uses. They are the cheapest labor force and the most basic unit to maintain the operation of the country.

Thinking of this, I stood up, came to Luke, bowed deeply, and said, "I'm sorry for my rudeness, but I have to end your conversation."

"Luke, please come with me and let me speak."

With that said, he stood up and walked deeper into the forest.

Luke was also disappointed with the stalemate in the conversation. If it weren't for the deep-rooted royal etiquette still causing trouble, he would have gotten up and left angrily.

Seeing that I had something to do with him, he naturally borrowed the donkey from Poxia, left the negotiation table, and followed me into the dense forest.

When I came to a relatively secluded place, I stopped and stood face to face with Luke.

Luke asked in a deep voice: "What do you want from me?"

"Sorry, Luke."

"Apologise for what?"

"I'm sorry for not explaining to you the customs, culture and history of Zefeng Continent when we first met."

Luke looked at me quietly, as if expecting what I would say next.

Taking a deep breath, I said: "When I came back just now, I heard about the cause of the conflict between you and Elder Priscilla. Here, I have to emphasize that Luke, this is not a demon world, nor is it ruled by you. Planet, this is the Zephyr Continent, a planet built by multiple races. There is oppression and injustice here, but there are no slaves. Well, to be precise, since the legendary heroic period, the word 'slave' has been used in this planet. It no longer exists on the continent.”

"Although there are class divisions and gaps between rich and poor among human beings, everyone is free. They can choose their own lives without having to ruin their lives for a piece of paper. So it is impossible for you to 'want' human beings. of."

Luke stared at me for dozens of seconds before frowning and saying, "Have humans evolved to this extent?"

After thinking for a while, he said to himself: "Okay, anyway, I just need human power and technology to help me complete the construction of the castle, so just cross out the 'manpower' point."

"About the two aspects of the island and supplies, is there anything that conflicts with human customs?"

"No." I shook my head: "As long as the castle you build will not interfere with the national operations of several major countries, no one will seek trouble from you. And as long as the request is not excessive, materials can be provided for free, but only for the construction of the castle."

Luke thought about it for a while and reluctantly agreed.

Returning to the negotiation table, Luke told Elder Priscilla what he had discussed with me.

This time, the Great Elder's face was no longer so ugly. It was right to think about it. As a Great Elder, she couldn't even protect her own people. If this spread, her reputation would be completely destroyed.

Next, there was a discussion about the islands. The great elder took out a map and drew an area, indicating that this sea area is the high seas. There are hundreds of islands, large and small, many of which are rich in products. You can choose one or several at will. However, there is an upper limit, and it cannot exceed ten islands at most.

Luke took the map and looked at it carefully for a while, then picked up a pen and circled it.

After finishing the drawing, he handed back the map. Elder Priscilla only glanced at it and almost got angry on the spot. She pointed at the map angrily and asked: "Your Excellency, the apostle, does your selection of islands in this way seem to be suspected of enclosure?"

I looked over curiously, and couldn't help but be shocked by Luke's outline - I saw that the ten islands on the map were distributed in a vague circle!
