Chapter 305 1500 Kro Coins, How Do You Get Rid of the Beggar?
Facing Zheng Yu who offended him, the second prince stared at Zheng Yu angrily.
But from beginning to end, the second prince never called for the skeleton guards or criticized Zheng Yu. He seemed to be waiting for Zheng Yu to propose conditions.
Zheng Yu saw the second prince's subtle attitude, smiled, and then said: "Second prince, the new era is unstoppable. It has already swept in like a rolling torrent."
"Destined to sweep through every inch of the Bone Wastes."
"If you want to be the master of the next era, you still have too few chips in your hands. If you want to understand, come to me."
Zheng Yu did not wait for the second prince's response. After he finished speaking, countless butterflies came from all directions, and the butterflies gathered in front of Zheng Yu.
With the appearance of black mist, Zheng Yu and Zong Zhixing disappeared in front of the second prince in an instant.
Only the second prince was left, who looked angry but thoughtful.
…
"Are we leaving like this?"
After using Queen Spirit Butterfly and the Black Mist of Hell to leave the second prince's residence, Zong Zhixing asked Zheng Yu for advice.
"Otherwise?" Zheng Yu asked.
Zong Zhixing: "I thought I would at least get some kind of promise from the second prince, or talk about the next plan or something like that."
Zheng Yu said: "I have no intention of cooperating with the second prince."
"ah?"
Zong Zhixing didn't understand.
Zheng Yu explained: "To be precise, I need him to take the initiative to come to me for cooperation."
"Is there any difference?"
Zong Zhixing asked.
"The difference is huge."
"Me looking for him means that I need to be attached to his imperial power. In the end... I am just a powerful official who wants status."
"What can I get?"
"For professionals, nothing can be gained. After all, this is just an abyss world."
"I can't even influence the second prince's thoughts to take great risks and deal with a restricted area that no one in the empire dares to enter."
"So, I need to take the lead on this."
"For him to come to me, it means something completely different."
"What I want is not a partner. Sand City, which I spent nearly three months building, is not for the purpose of assisting some imperial power."
"What I want is an army that can help me invade the restricted area after gaining imperial power."
"According to the information about the restricted area that Chai Fang passed to me, it is impossible for us to easily enter the restricted area alone."
"We need to rely on the power of the empire."
"So... what I want is a prince who listens to me, not a prince who wants to take advantage of me."
Zong Zhixing understood, "No wonder you are not polite to him at all. So you don't care whether he cooperates with us at all?"
"That's not true."
Zheng Yu shook his head.
"The first choice must be the second prince, because he is smart enough."
"If there is anyone who can see how aggressive Sand City is to this era, it is the second prince among these princes."
"If he is really smart, he will understand what to do next."
Zong Zhixing asked directly: "What should we do?"
Zheng Yu was not a Riddler either, and gave Zong Zhixing a detailed explanation: "If you want to cover up a war, you need another bigger war."
"If you want to temporarily stabilize the racial crisis, you need to introduce another more powerful enemy."
"The skeleton giant in the restricted area is the biggest enemy."
Zong Zhixing suddenly looked at Zheng Yu, his eyes full of disbelief and said: "So, at this point, even if we don't propose to enter, the second prince will take the initiative to provoke a war in the restricted area after successfully seizing power?"
"That's right."
Zheng Yu said: "And I guess that the special mission to explore the restricted area that Li Chenggong received was probably issued by the second prince."
"Based on the history of the original Skeleton Wasteland that did not appear in Sand City, the second prince actually has absolute suppressive power over the other princes."
"If the old emperor dies, the next prince will definitely be the second prince."
"But he still chose to rebel and failed."
"So, the problem lies with the current old emperor."
"The second prince most likely chose to turn his attention to the skeleton giant in the restricted area in order to defeat the old emperor."
"That's why Li Chenggong received the special mission."
Zong Zhixing listened honestly. He knew that Zheng Yu was not talking to him, but was sorting out the follow-up plan.
After Zheng Yu muttered to himself for a long time.
Zong Zhixing then asked: "Then what should we do now?"
After asking this question, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had when he met Liu Henhe that day. Liu Henhe said that the best thing about entering the abyss with Zheng Yu was that he didn't have to think, and he could pass the level perfectly just lying down.
Originally, Zong Zhixing despised Liu Henhe's behavior.
You are the biological daughter of the current leader of Yanyun Pavilion, and you are likely to be the next successor leader of Yanyun Pavilion. How can you say such a thing?
Now...it smells so good!
It feels so good to not have to think about anything.
As long as Zheng Yu's plan is followed step by step, many things will be solved inexplicably. For example, many professionals have a headache about how to use the power of the empire to enter restricted areas.
Still have a headache?
The second prince still has to beg us?
Zong Zhixing, who had been boasting for a long time, heard Zheng Yu say: "The next step... of course it's time to show our strength to the second prince."
"Let's break the first rule first."
"Let's go."
Zheng Yu commanded the flying Queen of the Psylocke, and then said to Zong Zhixing: "I'll make you a leader."
...
The headquarters of the Free Mercenaries is hidden in the Free City.
It is the most special city in the Skeleton Wasteland.
According to the previous professionals, this city is a dark city with a mix of good and bad people, where free mercenaries wanted by the empire can travel freely.
There are alien communities that started with special businesses and special abilities.
There are black police, smugglers, and violent organizations...
In short... there are no good people here.
People in the Free City are very angry, and some even fight if they disagree, but today everyone is basically suppressing their anger.
For fear of provoking someone they shouldn't.
Free City, Mercenary Hall.
Many mercenaries gathered here to discuss today's events.
"I heard that all the S-level mercenaries are here today?"
"Not only that, it is said that the mercenary leader Reza, the deputy leader Red Knife Ghost, and the only S+ level butcher are here."
"Hiss——"
"The butcher who massacred a city of aliens?"
"It's him. Didn't you see that the violent organizations that like to wander around in the Free City disappeared today? The butcher hates people pretending to be cool in front of him the most, and he kills them when he sees them."
"What are they doing here?"
"I heard that the mercenaries jointly reported the mercenary codenamed Knight, suspecting that he was cheating and wanted to punish him."
"Is it the knight who was recently promoted to S-level?"
"In fact, I also find it a bit strange. Why can the knight receive so many high-level tasks in a short period of time? Those mercenaries who have been stuck at A+ for many years are stuck there because they have no tasks?"
"Obviously, there is something fishy about this."
"Someone gave him money?"
"How much money did he have to brush?"
"This is not a question of money, It is a loophole. Someone posts a task, and then the knight takes the task in the first world, completes the task, and repeats it over and over again. "
"Can it be played like this?"
"Ordinary mercenaries can't afford it. Posting an A-level task costs tens of millions of krobies. Mercenaries get 70% of the commission, and the rest belongs to the mercenary group."
"But the problem is... where are there so many A-level tasks? Don't they all have to be reviewed?"
"I heard that the tasks are all related to the recent Sander City. Others can't find information about Sander City, but the knight can. Others can't get the core materials in Sander City, but the knight can."
"Doesn't this mean that the knight is related to the Sander City that is preparing to rebel?"
"That's why we have to check it."
"But the knight is strong in himself, and he has also formed a strong mercenary team. If you want to check them, Reza has to come in person. If he comes, can other S-level mercenaries not come?"
As they were talking, they heard some quarrels at the front desk.
But they were a little used to it.
After all, the staff here have always had a bad attitude.
People who can work in the Free City are not real workers. They are usually retired mercenaries or members of violent organizations.
What they found strange was that the person who quarreled with the staff member was a young mercenary who was almost wearing no skeleton equipment... a rookie.
After watching the excitement for a long time, these people finally understood why the quarrel occurred.
It turned out that the young mercenary thought the reward for the mission was too low.
"Heh, another rookie who has never been beaten. He dares to quarrel with the staff here. Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
"This is what rookies do. They quarrel here for a mission worth only 1,500 kronor coins."
In the end, the young man in black robe didn't get anything and left "angrily".
Someone asked the staff member curiously, "What is his mission?"
"It's just a mission to rescue slaves. It's not difficult at all. He insisted that the slave's identity was special. How special can it be?"
The staff member said disdainfully.
He has seen many rookies like this.
He always thinks that his mission is very difficult and needs more rewards.
"The strangest thing is that he actually asked to meet the person who issued the task. The rules state that mercenaries and employers who issue tasks cannot have contact, but he didn't even know this."
"And he finally said that if the employer doesn't meet him, then the slave will have to come to the employer on his own initiative."
"Hmm...very strange, is this a threat?"
"Who knows?"
...
