I send the system behind the scenes

Lin Hang moved the flower pots to the desk so that he could take a look at them when he had nothing to do. Appreciating green plants can make people feel happy, and raising them well will also give people a sense of accomplishment.

On the 13th plane, I realized that what the system panel said was true. The old city lord is now in the basement, explaining the situation to the bewildered young city lord.

While explaining, he also conjured up things to increase his persuasiveness, such as roasted sweet potatoes, cotton clothes, firewood, and even a small pistol, which stunned the young city lord.

After rambling on for a long time, the young city lord probably learned something about it. It seems that his father was possessed by something after he was drunk. Sacrificial ice crystals can be exchanged for many optional materials.

The old man has already tried to sacrifice once, and it was very successful. The young city lord touched the cotton padded coat in his hand, it was very thick and felt good to the touch, it was definitely very warm to wear, did he exchange it with ice crystals?

Will there be such a free lunch in the world?

The young city lord expressed his disbelief, what about cheating ghosts?Ice crystals are worthless, and they can only be used to deceive people. There must be other schemes behind it, but it is not clear what the forces behind the scenes want for the time being.

Whether it is a god or a demon, such an exchange must require them to pay a price, but it is unknown what the price is and whether they can afford it.

Listening to the old man's description, the young city lord's mind is constantly running. He is not afraid of the unknown. The unknown does bring risks, but it also comes with opportunities. Now, the Aixi District needs opportunities.

As far back as I can remember, the Ashe District has been choked by the inlanders, with the direwolves staring at it outside, and the human comrades beating and fearing it inside, and the conflict between the Ashe District and the interior has continued to intensify.

But whether it is the old city lord or the current young city lord, they all know what the biggest barrier is. The young city lord's mother died more than [-] years ago due to a stupid order in the interior. This hurdle cannot be overcome.

The old city lord can't let it go, the young city lord can't let it go, and the inland people don't think they can let it go. They need you to guard the border, but they are also afraid of you. Just complete the military defense goal, and the rest must be suppressed.

Even if he was dissatisfied, the Young City Lord had to control it. The inlanders did have unscrupulous capital, and the bargaining chips in the Ashe District were still too small. If they made a careless move, they would lose everything.

In recent years, the young city owner has also contacted many inland businessmen, including illegal smugglers, trying to open up channels and hoard supplies secretly.

It is impossible for these old city lords not to know, but they did not stop them.

Anyway, you can know the results of the astrologer's divination through the informant. If the direwolves really invaded on a large scale, you will be more restless than us, check and balance each other, and negotiate slowly.

But now, an opportunity is in front of the young city master, an opportunity that can directly overturn the chess game without playing chess with the inland. If you grasp it, you don't need a bargaining chip, and you can directly turn the tide of the battle.

The young city lord intends to seize this opportunity. As for the price to be paid, this can be checked.

"Father"

The serious tone rarely seen by young city masters made the old city masters who were reading the product introductions of the mall sit up straight. His son should have something to say.

"Father, I want to perform a divination."

"No!"

The old city lord refused without even thinking about it. His child has a very high talent for divination. If it weren't for the status of the young city lord, he should have become a well-known astrologer long ago.

But divination requires lifespan, which cannot be recovered by recuperation, which will directly reduce the upper limit of lifespan, so the old city lord has always prohibited the young city lord from using divination and astrology.

"Father, I have to use it this time. Other astrologers are unreliable and will leak secrets. I promise, it will only be used this time. We need to know what the price of sacrificing ice crystals is."

The Young City Lord was very insistent, stating his interests, as long as the price was acceptable, he believed that the Ashe District would not be bound by the inland, if he could not accept it, he should do what he could and not fall into the abyss.

After listening, the old city lord was silent for a long time, sighed, and nodded imperceptibly. At this moment, the old city lord closed his eyes in pain, as if he had aged ten years.

Needless to say, the old city lord knew all these truths, but the moment he agreed, his heart was fragile. Only his son could trust him, and divination was indeed needed, but it still hurts his heart to waste his son's life in exchange for the result.

The young city lord prepared the equipment and was about to start divination, while Lin Hang was thinking about the reason and seeing what to say.

If Lin Hang doesn't participate, the young city lord will definitely not be able to do the divination. There won't be a bright star in the divination star map. The ranks are too different, but if Lin Hang participates, the divination results can be easily made according to Lin Hang's.

Asking 'what is the price' and saying 'no price', that level is too low, the two city lords will never believe it, and they will think that divination is inaccurate, most people will only believe what they want to believe.

You need to think of a reason, but it can’t be too clear, and it needs to make them feel unfathomable. Then reply “…support…agents…spread…belief”, that’s about the same.

The city lord will think that the forces behind them want to spread their beliefs, so they will support them. The strongest relationship is not brotherly love, but a grasshopper in a chain of interests, so they have to think so.

Ok, that's it, Lin Hang's side is ready, and the young city lord's side has also set up the divination equipment, and the divination starts. Lin Hang disassembles the results, and sends a word every once in a while, take your time.

The young city lord, who had spent his life and deciphered the results of the divination, frowned at first, but then relaxed it quickly. It turned out that it was a force spreading the harvest belief, which was easy to handle and could be trusted temporarily.

Immediately afterwards, the young city lord divination again, 'Will the act of sacrifice pose a threat to the lives of their father and son? Lin Hang was a little dumbfounded when he read it, but he still gave the answer, "No".

Next, I replaced 'Father and Son' with 'Aixi District', and got the conclusion again, 'No'. e

After receiving all the answers, the young city lord felt dizzy immediately. Divinating three times in a row was too heavy a burden on his body. Fortunately, all the questions were answered, so he could sacrifice with peace of mind.

The old city lord supported his son with red eyes, and the young city lord calmed down for a while, then discussed some matters with his father. After the discussion, the young city lord fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, the city lord issued an order to free up the vast underground warehouse of the city lord's mansion to store ice crystals for later disposal.

Immediately, a large number of soldiers began to push the ice crystals to the warehouse. The old city lord watched batch after batch of ice crystals being transported in, his right fist was already clenched, all were exchange coins, and countless grains were waiting for them.

There is food, clothing, and fuel. This winter, the Eich District will live better than ever before, and by the way, there are also weapons.

The cheapest automatic machine gun, the Maxim heavy machine gun, seems to have a miraculous effect on the direwolves. I will write it down for the time being and wait for the soldiers to finish transporting it so that I can dispose of it together.
