Chapter 922 Dosores (End)
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
After several days of negotiations, Shen Fei and Candela finally reached a certain degree of cooperation. The content of the cooperation is basically the same as Xiosta. After all, although Dosores and Xiosta have different focuses, they are both resort cities.
As for further cooperation, it depends on whether the cooperation is pleasant in the future. Candela should find an opportunity to visit Che City like Hermann.
For the mayors of the two independent mobile cities, Candela and Hermann, it is naturally the best to have one more partner. What's more, Che City is a mobile city that has been independent from Ursus. Although this independence has not been officially announced to the world, everyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.
The reason why Che City has not been officially announced as an independent mobile city and is still under the name of Ursus is naturally the result of negotiations between the two parties. This is also the bottom line of Speaker Witte and the current emperor Fyodor. The territory of Ursus cannot be divided, at least it is not allowed to be divided openly.
If Che City really wants to formally declare independence, Ursus will do its best to attack Che City. Once Ursus intends to do so, Shen Fei will not be able to guarantee the safety of Che City under such circumstances. Let alone other situations, if Ursus lets several emperors' sharp blades run to Che City and self-destruct, Che City will be destroyed immediately.
Don't think that Ursus can't do such a thing. If they are really forced, there is no doubt that they can do it. In this case, Ursus can't be forced too much.
For Herman and Candela, with Ursus's strength, Che City has become independent. If they can become allies, it will naturally be of great benefit to the two and their mobile city.
For an independent mobile city, if it is a place that is not worth coveting, its safety can be guaranteed, but if there is something coveted, it will undoubtedly require a certain amount of strength to ensure independence.
When Dosores was able to successfully establish in Bolivar, a country with a three-way melee, Wei Yanwu of Longmen provided a lot of help, so Candela invited Wei Yanwu and Lin Gerui to Dosores every year.
Even though Wei Yanwu and Lin Gerui had never accepted the invitation, Candela's invitation letters were still being sent out. This year, the situation was good. Although Wei Yanwu did not come, Madam Wen Yue came, and Chen Huijie, Shi Huaiya, and Lin Yuxia all came. This is the future second generation of Longmen.
Although Wei Yanwu did not accept Candela's invitation to come again after leaving Dosores that year, the cooperation between Longmen and Dosores has been going on, and Dosores also trades mainly in Longmen coins.
Even because of the three-way melee, the entire Bolivar recognized the value of Longmen coins, while Bolivar's own currency was almost ignored.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think of the city of Dosores?"
After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with Candela, Shen Fei left the city government and walked on the street. Suddenly, he heard Ernesto, who was accompanying him, ask.
Ernesto, deputy director of the International Trade Department of Dosores, is an outstanding diplomat and a tour guide sent by Candela to guide Shen Fei and his party. He is also the future Rhodes Island operator Tequila, but he has not yet landed on the island.
"This city, in my opinion, is a bit unhealthy."
In order to know himself and the enemy when negotiating with Candela, he conducted an investigation in Dosores during the few days in Dosores. Although it is a resort city like Xiosta, it is much worse than the Obsidian Music Festival and the Extreme Ironman Competition in Xiosta.
There is only one word that fills Dosores, gambling. Most of the people on the street want to take advantage of the Extreme Ironman Competition to gamble. If they win, they will become the best. If they lose, they will go to work in a factory outside Dosores.
There are a large number of factories on the outskirts of Dosores. Whether you are infected or not, as long as you want to work, you can find it there, and the salary is much higher than other places in Bolivar.
The situation in Dosores reminded Shen Fei of Casimir. Candela went to Casimir when she was wandering as a child. Her concept of money was probably established there. Later, she went to Victoria to study, and then returned to Dosores, the city she had escaped from, and then spent more than ten years to build it into what she wanted.
Dosores used to be a small, very dilapidated and poor mobile city belonging to the Xingjias Dynasty. It can have its current appearance thanks to Candela's continuous purchase of mobile city modules in the past ten years.
This information naturally came from Madam Wen Yue. When she knew that Checheng was going to negotiate with Candela, she told Tallulah this information plus some information from Bolivar.
"Unhealthy? This city is obviously very vibrant, but it is unhealthy there." Ernesto raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Vitality? It is indeed very vibrant, but this vitality is built on the suffering of the vast majority of people in Bolivar." When talking about the situation in Bolivar, Shen Fei shook his head. After learning about some of Bolivar's situation from Madam Wen Yue, he was also troubled by the problems here.
Originally, Bolivar could still be saved, that is, the rebels who claimed to be the real Bolivar had been working hard for this, but this effort was all ruined in a battle. The so-called rebels now are actually a group of nobles who are fighting for Bolivar's mineral veins, and they are controlled by capitalists.
The three-way melee in Bolivar was fought for Bolivar's resources, not for Bolivar's independence.
It was a war in which one's own people betrayed one's own people. The rebels sent those who really cared about Bolivar to a place where they were doomed to die, causing more than 3,000 deaths and injuries, and at the same time forced away the rebels' veteran Pancho.
This situation reminded Shen Fei of the victory of the revolutionary army in the end of Kill the Red Eyes, but issued a hunting order for the night raid. That is, Pancho ran fast and surrendered to Candela, which saved his life. Now he works for Candela.
"I don't know if you can change the current situation of Bolivar." Ernesto suddenly spoke again after a long silence.
As a diplomat of Dosores, he naturally knew something about the situation in Che City.
"Unless someone can unify Bolivar, it will be difficult to change Bolivar's current situation, and it will be even more difficult to unify Bolivar with its current situation."
What Bolivar lacks is a man who falls from the sky. This person must be a Bolivarian, and no one else can do it, because only in this way will the Bolivarians accept it.
"Shelagh is really lucky, Silver Gray appeared."
Bolivar's situation reminded Shen Fei of Shelagh's Silver Gray, although strictly speaking, Shelagh and Glass Val are not comparable.
In terms of land area and strength, Bolivar is definitely stronger than Shelagh, but Shelagh also has what Bolivar does not have, such as the man who fell from the sky, Silver Gray, and Yelagang, as well as the cultural cohesion of thousands of years.
Bolivar was originally a colony of Iberia, and then Leitania and Colombia, and there was no time to develop its own cultural cohesion.
"Okay, I'm here, you can go and do what you want."
Seeing the bar in front, Shen Fei waved to Ernesto who had been in the city after hearing what he said, and walked directly into the bar.
Now this bar is almost a special bar for their group, and the group drinks for free because the owner of the bar has changed to Lin Yuxia.
The official representatives of Longmen who came to Dosores this time were Lin Yuxia and Chen Huijie. Madam Wen Yue just came to see Tallulah. Candela found some things for the two to do out of love for the younger generation. Of course, Candela meant that it didn't matter whether the two did it or not.
At first, Chen Huijie didn't want to manage it, but after Lin Yuxia said that she could handle it alone, Chen Huijie immediately said that she could do it alone. The dragons of Longmen not only have a bad relationship with tigers, but also with mice, and have a better relationship with ghosts.
As the daughter of the Rat King, Lin Yuxia's style of doing things is simple and clear. She directly found a group of underground forces that had no descendants in Dosores, and went straight to the door. Then the owner of the bar immediately gave in and recognized Lin Yuxia as the boss. It must be said that this person knows how to behave.
Originally, he was a person with no one to protect him in Dosores, and his life was very bad. Now he has someone to protect him. With Lin Yuxia's protection, at least he will not be treated as an abandoned child like this time.
"Rat courage and dragon power, haha, Dragon Gate swear words."
As soon as Shen Fei walked into the bar, he heard Shi Huaiya laughing loudly there, and from time to time he burst out one or two Dragon Gate swear words, and Xingxiong watched all this with a smile.
"What happened, and where are the doctor and the others."
"Nothing, but they just arrested people today, broke into the competition site, and then became a member of the competition team. The doctor and the others went shopping."
Xingxiong immediately smiled and told the general situation again.
"Since we are forming a team, why don't you join together?"
It turned out that today was the selection of the last team in the preliminaries, and it was also the most difficult level, that is, unlimited fighting, which is purely based on strength, unlike other preliminaries, which can rely on specialties.
But even so, the competition is still fierce. After all, it is the last spot, and then all the participants were chased by Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia who were smuggling weapons to Dosores. The two joined forces and beat everyone down.
Even if this was the case, they could have refused. The reason they agreed later was that they found that the criminals seemed to be a team that had qualified for the preliminaries, so they decided to break into the game to investigate.
"Come on, both of you, I bought your victory."
At the scene of the extreme ironman competition the next day, Xingxiong cheered loudly for Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia who were going to participate in the competition. She bet a lot of money on them, not only her own money, but also the money borrowed from Shi Huaiya. As for Shi Huaiya, she had no interest in gambling.
The extreme triathlon competition is different from normal competitions in that there are no restrictions or obstacles on the enemy. In other words, if you are strong enough, you can defeat your opponent. This is probably why Xingxiong is so confident in the two of them. In terms of strength, although there are many strong people participating in the competition this time, they will definitely not be the opponents of the two.
"Water gun, so this is Water Chen. In the game, Chi Xiao is completely incomparable to the damage of the water gun." Because it was a competition, Chen Huijie not only did not bring Chi Xiao, but also did not bring his other sword, but took a modified water gun.
"Glass, it turns out that sand can be used in this way. If Crocodile knew, he would probably cry to death. Sure enough, the development of devil fruits still depends on imagination."
Looking at the glass that Lin Yuxia temporarily made with the Originium technique on the field through the screen, Shen Fei immediately found that he had never thought of such a simple problem.
"Speaking of which, the natural sand-sand fruit has never found a master. Lin Yuxia is very suitable for this devil fruit." Lin Yuxia's Originium technique is sand, which is very compatible with the sand-sand fruit. Of course, this is just Shen Fei's random thought. He can't give such a noble devil fruit to Lin Yuxia like this. After all, she is not his own.
"Kaido's devil fruit, Talulah and Chen Huijie are both suitable."
The humans in the Terra world originally have symbols of animals in various aspects, and if they are strong, they can summon the corresponding heart image by will, such as the golden Pegasus and the giant bear of Ursus.
Shen Fei was a little curious about this. What effect would it have if the animal-type devil fruit was combined? For the snow monster team of Frost Star, he prepared the corresponding artificial animal-type devil fruit. Considering the property problem, the ice type is naturally the best. He really doesn't have this, so he can only make it after returning.
For example, using polar bears to make artificial animal-type devil fruits, Ursus plus polar bears, this can be said to be the power of two bears.
"Hey, someone is actually staring at me, not just me, Talulah, Frost Star is also a target."
Shen Fei, who was concentrating on watching the game on the screen, suddenly noticed a strange look, and then immediately looked at the source of the look quietly. It was a Zarak who was paying attention to him.
"I want to see who it is?"
Since he found someone staring at him, Shen Fei decided to strike first. He didn't want to wait for the other party to make a move before taking action.
"Killer, it turns out that the trouble is caused by Scar Mall. It seems that we really need to solve this trouble."
After catching Zarak, Shen Fei immediately understood what was going on. The other party was a killer who came to Dosores for vacation. After accidentally discovering Shen Fei and others, he had an idea in his mind. There was no way. Who let the reward be too high, and it was higher if he was alive.
It seems that someone hopes to catch him alive, but this alive is only for Shen Fei. Talula and Shuangxing don't care.
"Catching alive, is it for the so-called weapons in the ancient ruins that can force Ursus back? This person's idea is pretty beautiful, but you are unlucky, go and kill those people for me."
Following the clues, Shen Fei found the other party's accomplice, and then changed their target with Yu Duchen. The opponent is a killer, and it is the kind of killer who has no scruples. Naturally, he will not be polite.
In this chaotic Terra continent, there is no clear boundary between mercenaries, assassins, and bounty hunters.
"Red Label Contract? Someone really doesn't want Qiecheng to appear. It seems that we need to notify the Shadow Clone to take action to deal with some people."
The Red Label Contract is a kind of contract circulated among mercenaries. It is somewhat similar to the crisis contract established by the Messenger of Natural Disaster, but its purpose is not to save people, but to kill people.
Those who can get the Red Label Contract are all strong, and basically they are snipers.
