Chapter 268 May the Holy Fire and Money Always Protect Us

Latest website: When Churcher returned to the hotel where the team was staying, Elder Palos was already waiting for him at the door.

"How is it?" he asked coldly.

Churcher smiled and said: "Your Excellency Paros, Rhodes is very, very stubborn. I tried my best to persuade him to talk to him. You must not force yourself tomorrow. You must remember to let him go." Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to you if you go back."

Palos snorted: "How can a young boy come up with so much nonsense?"

Churchill said seriously: "Your Excellency, Elder, he is not an ordinary person. In such a short period of time, Fanxing Town has worked together from top to bottom. His prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is no longer just the legacy of Lord Theodore." It’s here.”

"You can't simply think that he is just a lucky guy. If it is not handled well, this matter will definitely cause a lot of trouble. As the former commander of the expedition army, you certainly don't want to lose your security at the end of the year, right?"

Palos snorted, did not answer, and turned back to the room.

Churchill secretly took a sip from behind, thinking to himself that I must cooperate with Little Rod to squeeze all the shit out of you tomorrow.

the next day.

Everyone came to Ghost Lake in tacit agreement as if nothing had happened.

There is nothing related to the word "ghost" here.

The light of the guardian fire spread throughout the area. The towering holy white trees brought the breath of life. The fertile land was full of farmers cultivating. The priests of life were praying under the holy white trees, and some similar people were jumping around. Ordinary small animals such as nine-headed dogs and ten-tailed cats.

The clear lake water reflects the light of the fire, and several small boats are floating on the lake. If you ignore the cleaners on the shore who are salvaging the corpses and debris from the bottom of the lake, the whole scene is quite poetic.

The Sun Crystal Mine is at the foot of a hill on the west side.

The entrance is quite magnificently built, and the mine gate is printed with the starry emblem of the Starry Kingdom, indicating that it has been silent for fifteen hundred years.

But there's nothing stale about it, it looks like it was working yesterday.

According to the inferences of historians and archaeologists, this mine was covered by the Star Kingdom with a special spiritual barrier as early as 1,600 years ago. Here they limitedly changed the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. The field makes this vein actually exist in a state of superposition between the material world and the spiritual world.

If it is not lifted, it will be absolutely impossible to discover.

And if Rhodes hadn't mastered the control of the spiritual world, it would have been impossible to find this mine.

When introducing the details of this mine, Molly quietly added a lot of private goods to show the role Rhodes played in this matter.

Palos said nothing with a cold face.

However, when they finished inspecting the mine, his face became a little tense.

The state of preservation of this mineral vein is quite good. The former Kingdom of Stars took great care of it, and the mining of the mineral vein was as careful as archeology.

The entire mine vein has not suffered any irreversible damage, the shafts are neat and orderly, and the pits are well-proportioned. It does not look like a mine at all, but just like an exquisite underground city.

You know, mining solar crystal veins is a very troublesome thing.

Due to the powerful power contained in it, the solar crystal becomes very unstable once it is separated from the ore body, and accidents such as deterioration, pollution, explosion, and energy leakage are all very easy to occur.

Exploration, stripping, and excavation of the entire mineral vein must be done with great caution.

Although this vein has been half mined, the legacy of Starry Kingdom can greatly reduce their early energy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mine itself is priceless.

Palos coughed and said with a kind face: "Sir Rhodes, your achievements will be firmly remembered by the King's City. Whatever requirements you have, we will definitely meet them."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Really? That's great. It just so happens that the First Elder, Mr. Armando, has worked hard for the Royal City for so many years, and it's time for him to take a rest. I have made such a great contribution, so let me sit here as the First Elder." location.”

The wrinkles on Palos's entire face were squeezed together.

He has a typical long face, with a protruding chin and wrinkles connected crookedly, making it look like his entire face is crooked.

"Smelly... Mr. Rhodes, please don't joke, my words are sincere..."

Rhodes' smile continued.

"My words are also sincere. Look, the true silver veins provide one-fifth of the royal city's true silver production. The sun crystal mines are even more precious. Look again, how prosperous Fanxing Town is. This large living space has already accommodated hundreds of thousands of people in the royal city, greatly easing the pressure on the royal city and making an indelible contribution to mankind."

"And I, who have made such great achievements, can't I become the first elder?"

The wrinkles on his face could no longer suppress the veins popping up under his skin. Just as Palos was about to curse, Churcher poked him in the butt and whispered.

"Calm down, Elder Palos, think about what I said yesterday."

Palos took a deep breath and forced himself to show a kind expression.

"Sir Rhodes, the first elder must be an old man who is highly respected, senior, popular, and able to convince everyone. Mr. Armando fully meets the above conditions, so he was elected as the first elder. You are still young... …”

Rhodes asked curiously: "Does the First Elder have an age requirement?"

Molly immediately replied: "There are no relevant regulations in the royal city."

An angry look flashed in Palos's eyes, but he still suppressed his tone and said: "Sir Rhodes, please forgive me for not agreeing to this request. We can't do it. You can change your request to something else."

Rhodes said calmly: "Your Majesty Elder, you just said that you can meet my request, but you can't agree when you turn around. I really can't trust such a person who doesn't keep his word. I'd better let Wang Cheng replace him."

Palos said angrily: "Don't be shameless! Your king has been locked up in the Holy Fire Sacrifice for more than a month, and he doesn't know when he will come out. Now the elders have the final say in the highest council, so I will give it to you. So what if it's a forced expropriation? This is the rule of the royal city, don't you think you can rebel?"

Churchill also said at the side: "Brother Rhodes, what Elder Palos said is absolutely right. If you keep delaying it, it will be difficult for His Majesty to come out."

Palos's face suddenly darkened, thinking that this reckless man was really brainless, and it was a mistake to choose him to accompany him.

He coughed and softened his tone.

"Sir Rhodes, I can understand your mood, but the rules of the royal city are unshakable. Not long after the dark tide passed, Trolian has just recovered a little strength. At this time, everyone should work together to work hard to restore our kingdom. Build stronger.”

"For the sake of the overall situation, we can each take a step back. If you want to be promoted, we can co-opt you as an alternate elder. In the future, when you have enough experience, it is not impossible to be elected as the first elder."

Rhodes saw Churchill blinking wildly behind him, one hand constantly making grabbing and putting down movements, as if adding weights to a scale.

He immediately understood and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Palos, from the first elder to the alternate elder, this has shrunk too much. I will need other compensation."

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

Palos let out a breath in his heart, as long as he is willing to negotiate terms, he smiled and said: "As long as we can do it, we will try our best to satisfy you."

But what he didn't expect was that after agreeing, he would fall into a trap.

In the next period of time, Rhodes opened his mouth like a lion and almost wanted to swallow the entire royal city.

The only thing that made Palos tolerate it was that he didn't directly ask for money, but just asked for various resources, permissions, preferential status, etc.

Rhodes also had the attitude of paying off the sky-high asking price, so he played two shots first.

Unexpectedly, it all happened.

It seems that the importance of the Sun Crystal Mine in Wang Cheng's mind is greater than imagined.

Rhodes suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "If you don't give me high-level combatants, I can't force you to do so, but my teammate Mephis was forcibly taken back by you, and he hasn't been released yet. Isn't this a bit too much? share?"

Palos hesitated.

He had heard about Mavis. It seemed that there was something wrong with the encapsulated curse on her body. The leader of the forbidden armed forces had repeatedly requested the royal city to execute her, but it had never been approved.

This matter is very troublesome. The taboo armed force in charge of the Silver Oath has a high status and is also very dangerous.

However, they happened to be within the jurisdiction of the elders.

What is difficult for others is just an order for them.

Palos nodded and said: "Okay! I will ask the Taboo Armed Forces to release him as soon as possible."

Rhodes rolled his eyes and said, "I want 10% of the output of the Sun Crystal Mine."

Palos couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Little brat! Don't go too far!"

Churcher hurriedly poked him in the butt and whispered: "Elder Palos, calm down, calm down!"

Palos slapped his hand away: "I'll calm down your mother..."

Churchill pretended to be anxious and said: "Elder Palos, don't forget that you made the oath to bring down the fire and promised to take it back, so you got this job. If you are impulsive, I will be unlucky too."

Palos was furious and yelled: "Are you a fucking idiot? Is your brain full of muscles? Doesn't your powerful soul bring you a little bit of wisdom?"

"It's a thousand years of bad luck for me to choose you to accompany me!"

He turned around suddenly and glared at Rhodes with his yellow-orange eyes.

"Okay, you win, I agree, but this is the last request. If you want to make a new one, then let's break up!"

When Rhodes saw Churchill giving a thumbs up, he immediately understood, held his hand, and said with a smile: "Elder Palos, happy cooperation."

Palos' face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.

Such a huge price was far beyond his expectation.

But the matter has come to this, and that’s all it can do.

He originally wanted to use intimidation to force Rhodes to hand over the mineral veins with both hands and make things happen beautifully.

But Rhodes's character and strength far exceeded his imagination. Intimidation didn't work at all, and there was also a pig teammate who was holding him back.

The fact that this negotiation was able to be concluded was due to his extraordinary wisdom, strategizing, and extraordinary magnanimity.

If it had been anyone else, this negotiation wouldn't have been possible.

In short, no matter what, at least the matter was done, and it was a great achievement for him to go back.

As for the price, he doesn't have to pay it.

At most, it's just a few gossips, so what?

After thinking about it, Palos actually thought that this was not bad, smiled again, and signed various contracts with Rhodes with a cheerful face.

He even introduced his granddaughter to him. Although she failed to become a fire bearer, she was very beautiful. She had fair skin, long legs, big breasts and a perky butt. She would be ready to have a baby. If Rhodes had You can try it if you are interested.

Rhodes was afraid that things would go wrong, so he didn't have the nerve to refuse, so he just said that he could add a spiritual crow messenger to talk first.

Palos immediately agreed.

His granddaughter, an ordinary person, is his biggest worry, and an excellent seed like Rhodes is not something ordinary people can encounter. Although their positions are different, there should be no problem in borrowing a seed.

In this way, Palos led the negotiating team to victory.

But after returning to the royal city, the elders were very dissatisfied with his results.

An elder asked: "Paros, is your condition too much?"

Palos snorted coldly: "You don't understand at all. That boy has condensed into a powerful force in Fanxing Town. He is ambitiously preparing to build a new human kingdom and use it to replace the royal city and become the new king." , I worked hard to reverse this unfavorable situation and eliminate a catastrophe for mankind. In comparison, what is the price? "

The elders looked at him suspiciously.

Palos was not afraid at all, and boasted about Rhodes' deeds, demonstrating from all aspects how powerful he was, how terrifying his talent was, how cunning and despicable he was, and it was not him who sacrificed her granddaughter's innocence. Go out, this thing may not be possible.

Although the elders are a little skeptical, looking at the history of Trolian, aren't those super geniuses who shine like morning stars like this?

Either have superhuman intelligence, superhuman talents, superhuman abilities, or all three.

Not to mention those mythical inhuman beings in history, even in the current royal city, aren't there super novas who are many times better than him?

In the end, the elders recognized the contract and gave Elder Palos a great credit. Because of his selfless dedication, the elders also gave him some compensation.

Churchill, the guardian, was said to be worthless by the elders. He was like a mentally retarded person who could only know Aba Aba. It was only because of him that he stayed calm in the face of danger and calmed the whole audience, so he managed to win.

Therefore, he did not catch a hair and was sent back to his own area.

In this way, this matter came to a perfect end.

The group of elders paid a certain price, successfully avoided the big pit promised by the king, and obtained the ownership of the sun crystal mineral vein.

And Rhodes gained a lot. Not only did he gain a lot of resources and authority status, but he also got the position of an alternate elder. These are things that money cannot buy at all.

It will help Rhodes gain more divinity.

Elder Palos made great achievements, received a lot of compensation, and arranged a future for his granddaughter. It can be said that he made a lot of money.

Guardian Churchill successfully helped Rhodes take a big step forward, which he was happy to see.

Everyone is happy and gets what they want.

As for who lost, only God knows.

at the same time.

In the dark fog outside Fanxing Town.

Three red figures gathered around everything again.

Their faces were so gloomy that they were almost blacker than the black mist.

Laiweier said in a deep voice: "Things are already very bad. If this continues, the opponents will have no place to stand."

Amory said: "Time is running out. Our recovery period is very short. The Fire Palace will summon us to go back soon. This is the last chance."

Karama said: "Is the thing Lord Manolobana sent really effective? Doesn't that kid have some unknown means?"

Levi shook his head.

"It's impossible. The disaster we caused this time is equivalent to a small black tide. It is absolutely impossible for Fanxing Town to defend it."

Amory smiled and said: "We have thoroughly studied that kid's methods. He cannot deal with the Aries demon group at all, and Fanxing Town will definitely be destroyed."

Karama sighed:

"We've already spent a lot of money on this plan, and if it doesn't succeed, we're doomed."

Levi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, we will definitely succeed this time."

"We will attack when the guardians are gone."

——

——

Silver Pledge.

Forbidden weapons.

The leader slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There is no way Mavis will let her go until she completes the seal."

Opposite him were other senior members of the Forbidden Armed Forces.

"Chief." One person advised: "This is the third time that the Supreme Council has urged us."

"They said if we didn't release them, our budget would be cut."

The leader shouted angrily: "Don't they know? Mephis is the son of destruction in the prophecy. If he is released without a seal, big trouble will happen."

Everyone looked at each other, and one person whispered: "The elder said, that is your business. They allocate so much money every year, and they can't even seal a child of prophecy who doesn't know whether it is true or false. I don't know what use we have so many resources." ”

The leader said angrily: "Isn't there anyone who supports us? I want to report to the first elder, Mr. Armando, in person."

The man swallowed and said softly: "This is what the First Elder meant."

The leader was silent for a few seconds, sat down slumped, and murmured: "Why is this?"

One person said: "They said Fanxing Town lacked high-level combatants."

"Can't you send someone else?"

"No, there are no free seats in the Hall of Fire. Everyone is in their own action sequence."

The leader was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "Seal her with psychic energy and restrict her psychic level to below level seven. I hope there will be no problem."

The man immediately smiled and bowed: "Yes, Sir Chief!"

He left in a hurry with everyone.

The leader was the only one left in the hall again.

He sat on the Black Iron Throne and fell into deep contemplation.

——

——

Uptown.

In a magnificent hall.

A large number of well-dressed people sat at a huge table.

Sitting at the top was a super fat man, whose facial features had been submerged in fat. His fat hands were covered with large colorful rings, and he was clapping his palms vigorously to silence everyone.

"Giant businessmen."

In contrast to his bulky figure, his voice was loud and clear, instantly overwhelming the entire audience.

"You already know the situation. Fanxing Town is a high-quality salary investment target. It has almost no risks. If we can reach a deeper cooperation agreement with them, maybe one day in the future, we will be able to stand proudly with our mortal capital. Above the royal city.”

The roaring sound resounded through the hall, and the wealthy businessmen shouted: "I agree!"

"This is the best opportunity!"

"Raise! Raise!"

"I'm committed to that little guy! He's a genius!"

"Yes, although compared with other super geniuses, his talent is not outstanding, but his thinking pattern has surpassed this era!"

"Lord Maihara, please."

The super fat man smiled and said: "Very good, since you all agree, then I am about to set off and go to Fanxing Town in person to discuss in-depth cooperation with our little hero."

he shouted, raising a fat hand in the air.

"The fire will never be extinguished! Money will last forever!"

All the giant merchants shouted in unison.

"May the holy fire and money protect us forever!"
