Extraordinary: Lord of the Elements

Chapter 119 Meeting
"This thing really looks like a contract of sale." Gerrard complained.

Li Hansheng said: "Why do you feel this way? It's not a question of whether he looks like it or not. He's just selling himself."

"Eh, you're being honest."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Looking at the hesitant Gerald, a staff appeared in Li Hansheng's hand.

"Okay, okay, but I have to add one thing. I will regain my freedom in three years. After three years, your secret will not be a secret. No secret can be hidden forever, especially if you still fight often."

Li Hansheng thought it made sense, so he added, "Gerald will be free again after ten years."

Gerald looked at the shining long double-edged staff in front of him, and signed his name helplessly.

The contract is different from the slave contract. This is an employment contract, which only allows Gerald to keep a secret and help Li Hansheng study pharmacology as Li Hansheng's deputy.

"I have a lot of novel ideas. Find a place. Time is precious. We have to act quickly."

Tensions rose in Griffin City.

When the Duke learned what was going on, he realized that war was inevitable.

Although it is not clear why the messenger would hurt his son.

But he knew that he had already lost this round of trials, and at the negotiating table, the person who cared less about the outcome of the negotiation would have an advantage.

If he doesn't make any response, it means that the second prince will do even more excessive things.

So he quickly sent someone to the territory of the third prince, because the territory of the third prince was the closest to him, and it was on the verge of defeat.

He sent soldiers to help the third prince stabilize the front line.

This behavior is undoubtedly a conclusive statement of attitude.

In fact, the behavior of the second prince has completely angered almost all the nobles, and it runs counter to the teachings of the Church of the Rose and Sword.

This deep-rooted church in the mainland usually does not show its mountains and waters, but once it is provoked, the anger that can erupt is also terrifying.

Various orders were issued, the army began to mobilize, the gates of the city were closed, and the city guards were strictly investigating all kinds of suspicious people in the city.

Although Griffin City is very large, with a population of one million, 80% of the population is in the gathering area outside the city walls.

As the war is approaching, people in the gathering area outside the city wall seek connections to enter the inner city, and those who have no relationship can only go to other villages to seek refuge, but there are also people who have no way to leave and can only hide in their own houses shivering.

Although the inner city can accommodate a limited number of people, most power users will choose to enter the inner city.

Li Hansheng was not in the city. He and the warlock built a hut in a mountain stream outside the city. He moved some small experimental equipment into the hut. This was his new laboratory.

"You actually experimented with living people, it's really vicious." Gerald kept talking when he was doing the experiment, and Li Hansheng felt that he and the previous March should have a common language.

"Their spirits have died long ago, and what is left now is only a corpse with basic reflexes. It is their honor to contribute to the advancement of medicine."

"Don't ordinary people have great psychological barriers when doing this thing? This is your kind."

Li Hansheng said: "You talk too much nonsense, come and help me, or else you will be made into their kind."

"Alright alright."

"I need a poison that can find each other at any time within a range of at least 10 kilometers. Of course, it would be better if the time is longer."

"The secretion of colorful three-winged butterflies can meet this condition, and it is non-toxic, and it is the most commonly used tracer."

"Under normal circumstances, the smell of this secretion is very strong, and you can feel it with a slightly sensitive nose. What I need is a colorless and odorless special drug that only I can feel."

"Then a toxin like yours will involve many reactions, which is very complicated."

Li Hansheng looked at him and pointed at the pile of raw materials in front of him, "So we need to do experiments.

You are responsible for testing the characteristics of these raw materials after they are matched and processed. "

In addition, Li Hansheng also needs drugs that can control people.For example, things like truth serum.

Although these things are collectively classified as toxins in this continent, Li Hansheng prefers to call it pharmacology.

The two got busy, and most of Gerald's materials were in his own space ring, so it was very convenient to do experiments.

However, within a few months, Ma Nan contacted Li Hansheng through communication equipment.

"Li, there is going to be a war. The city guards have sent invitations to the leaders of every faction in the city, intending to invite them to discuss matters in the Duke's mansion."

He said to Li Hansheng: "I heard other adventurers in the tavern saying that the third prince had been defeated.

The army sent by the Grand Duke to support was also defeated, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince fled to Griffin City.

The halfling said that the Grand Duke was going to push the third prince out to unite with the army of nobles to conquer the second prince. "

"Looks like I'm going back."

After hearing what Li Hansheng said, Gerald felt a little pity.

During this period of time, not only did Li Hansheng gain a lot, but he also gained a lot of incomprehensible knowledge from Li Hansheng, and gained a unique understanding of his own research.

However, Li Hansheng did not hide his conversation with Ma Nan, so he also knew that at the moment of the war, the Pure Tower would definitely be involved. As a member of the Pure Tower, he had no other responsibilities, so he could only follow Li Hansheng back.

The area outside Griffon City was already in depression. Most of the people in this area classified as the outer city had been evacuated, and the roads were wider than ever.

When we arrived in the inner city, it became lively.

The Duke mobilized the forces of his vassals and nobles who were nominally loyal to the royal family from all over the Griffin Territory to enter the Griffin City.

Walking in Griffin City, you can see rows of soldiers wearing various uniforms walking staggered on the main road in the city.

There are also adventurers who come after hearing the news. They are eager to stand out through war and gain a completely different life from the current one.

Under such circumstances, Li Hansheng's figure would not appear too abrupt when walking in the city, and there were plenty of people who were stronger than him on the street.

In the courtyard, Ma Nan carefully told Li Hansheng what he had learned.

"A few days ago, a group of rout soldiers poured in from the west gate of the city, the number of them was about a few thousand.

They brought the news that His Highness the Third Prince had been completely defeated.

There are too many of them, and the news cannot be concealed at all.

As the news of the war came, people from the villages outside the city walls began to flock to the city, causing the price of food in the city to rise rapidly, and the Virginia Chamber of Commerce made a fortune this time.

However, as more and more people flooded into the city, the price of food began to rise beyond control. The Virginia Chamber of Commerce mobilized food from various cities in the Griffon Land, but it was a bit stretched. "

Li Hansheng said: "First suspend the sale of food, and first ensure that our own people have enough food to eat."

"Well, I think so too."

Ma Nan went on to say: "The Grand Duke seems to intend to integrate various forces in the city, he began to mobilize the army of the nobles, and one after another, the troops of the nobles entered the city.

All the blacksmiths, tailors, and carpenters were summoned to make weapons.

Several members of our adventure group who are good at this kind of thing were also forcibly recruited. "

"Is there any wages?"

"Yes, very low."

Li Hansheng said: "This is also a normal situation, so don't worry too much, but let's find an excuse to let our team members come back. We also lack blacksmiths, tailors and carpenters."

After pondering for a moment, Li Hansheng ordered: "Gather all the young and old who cannot fight in the adventure group and the chamber of commerce, and send someone to escort them to Kawati, the hometown of the Virginia chamber of commerce.

For some shops in the city, it is enough to leave some people to take care of them.

The members of the adventure group left 100 people to guard the city of Kawati, and the rest stayed with me in Griffin City. "

City defense is a very fast way to gain experience.

In the border kingdom where the highest power is King Wu, it is true to a certain extent that there are more people and more powerful. Even the strong King Wu will sometimes run out of fighting spirit.

In the biography of the library, Li Hansheng saw a lot of Wu Wang strongmen who were piled up to death.

Of course, such things must be rare, and if there are many, they will not be specifically written in the biography.

There are very few kings of martial arts who will punch the needle alone, which is no different from sending them to death.

If you are facing a mere thousand people, King Wu can go if you can't beat him here, and you can completely sweep the Quartet.

But once the number of people exceeds [-], it looks densely packed, and it will cause great psychological pressure on people.

Especially the cooperation between the arms of the army will greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the individual.

Facing tens of thousands of soldiers and a fully equipped army, especially the officers in the army are extraordinary.

At this time, if King Wu rushed to the battle alone, the most likely thing would be to be shot into a hedgehog by the enchanted archer of the opponent, or be beaten into coke by the dense fireballs of the mage.

The final result is only dozens or hundreds of people, and the strength of an individual is still slightly small in a group.

Various tactics of the cold weapon era can still play a good role here.

"Let's evacuate with the young and old first."

Li Hansheng found all the seven half-elves who had been planted in his hands during this period of time through the method left by the half-elves.

"Two go to Kawati City to ensure the safety of the rear personnel. The others will follow me. I may need your help in the war."

Several half-elves looked at each other in blank dismay, reluctantly responding.

They found some people to help them detoxify, but Li Hansheng's poison is very special and there is no way to eradicate it.

It's really aggrieved to be the king of the shadows, but to be tightly controlled by someone.

This feeling of weirdness became even more obvious when the Assassin Association was in session. There were a total of eight martial spirits in the association, and except for one high-ranking martial spirit who had never made a move, all seven of them overturned here.

"Did the Assassin's Association offer a reward for me recently?" Li Hansheng asked Middleton.

"It's from the Mage Association."

But they definitely can't take it.

That old guy Thomson is determined to change his mind. He must have suspected me. Li Hansheng asked again: "Where are these under my command?"

"There are many, but we have given up on them."

"Well done, do you have any special news for me?"

Middleton shut up, I can't tell you any news!

Li Hansheng snapped his fingers, and many toxins that have been researched recently covered their bodies again.

"Okay, I've purified it for you, remember to come to me once a month from now on."

The half-elves retreated.

Three days later, Li Hansheng came to the council hall of the Duke's Mansion with the invitation letter.

The leather-covered seats surround the central platform in a stepped fan shape, densely packed, and can accommodate thousands of people.

Bright magic lamps illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime.

On the platform in the center of the hall hangs a huge soaring griffin.

When Li Hansheng arrived with the great martial artists from the adventure group, the meeting room was almost full of people.

After seeing the invitation letter presented by Li Hansheng, a guard of the Duke's Mansion led Mr. Li to the front seat, while Ma Nan and the others were led to a relatively rear seat.

This bodyguard has an active elemental aura, and he is between a high-ranking martial artist and a great martial artist.

Li Hansheng glanced over, and there were hundreds of such guards in the entire hall.

The power of the Duke's Mansion is far stronger than any of the five major forces.

There are no less than a hundred people in the fourth rank in Griffin City.

Li Hansheng looked left and right. He had seen some gray-haired old magicians in the meeting of white magicians. These were people from the white magicians' order.

There are some old men wearing mage robes, with various elemental organs, star vortex geometry, etc. floating in front of them.

There were Li Hansheng's acquaintance Thomson and Xixia's mentor Cumberland. Xixia was also at the table, but relatively far behind.

Some of the younger ones, the Griffon School of Magic and Martial Arts, and the martial spirit Conrad who tried him back then were also there.

The style of the pure tower is also uniform, and they all wear wide hoods to cover their faces.

"War is about money, once the war starts, the price of everything in the city will increase.

Strategic resources are in short supply.

So we must firmly hold these resources in our hands before we start, but these will not be raised at this meeting. This should be to unify all the voices in Griffin City first. "

Li Hansheng turned his head, stood up when he saw the person coming, and bowed slightly, "Mr. Hall."

Hall nodded slightly, and sat down beside Li Hansheng.

Afterwards, many people came one after another, and the hall that accommodated thousands of people was full. These were the main extraordinary powers of Griffin City.

Seeing so many people gathered at the meeting place, Li Hansheng knew that this meeting must be a meaningless pre-war mobilization.

A small meeting is held for a small matter, and a small meeting is held for a big matter.

No matter which world you are in, it is an unbreakable truth.

Li Hansheng also saw the face of the Duke. If it weren't for the elegant and luxurious Duke dress on his body, the Duke would look like a serious middle-aged man with a Chinese character face.

There were several young people sitting beside him, and a few seats away from him, March was accompanied by a blond young man in armor, who should be the third prince.

Sure enough, the Duke just fell asleep when Li Hansheng opened his mouth.

"Gentlemen and ladies, Claude assassinated the old king, went against the grain, and did many things that harmed his noble status.

As the duke of the kingdom and a representative of the nobility, I am saddened by the occurrence of this kind of thing. The Church of the Rose and Sword, His Royal Highness the First Prince, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are also outraged by what the Second Prince has done. Let us hold this meeting The purpose is to"
