[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon
Chapter 27
I learned how to use it skillfully, and used it very skillfully.
Mustafa was strangely relieved.It's better to know that an ally is behind this than knowing it's an enemy.He asked inexplicably: "I really don't understand, why do you want to do this?"
"As far as I know, although you and your father, Harik Pasha, are in charge of a rich city like Izmir, they have always been restricted in their scope of activities." Lilith sipped her coffee and smiled. "Since your father's generation, you have been confined in Izmir. Even if you try your best to develop power, you are always under the supervision of the Sultan. There is no way to develop in the long run. If you don't say anything else, just Say in Istanbul, how many spies do you have? Three? Five? Well, even if you successfully spread out an intelligence network, how many people can you send to the sultan and the prime minister? One? Two?"
Mustafa's expression was a little embarrassing.Not to mention one or two, he only placed two or three eyeliners in Istanbul, let alone the sultan and the prime minister.
"Before this, you could only stay in such a small city and knew nothing about the news from far away. If you want to make friends with the surrounding city lords and powerful ministers, you can only wait for them to come here on their own initiative Instead of going to meet with them in secret. However, with the Sultan's decree, how many cities can you pass through from here to Istanbul? And in Istanbul, how many ministers can you make friends with?"
Lilith put down her cup, leaned slightly, and said in a low voice, "This is an opportunity, Mustafa Pasha. If you can work hard enough, it's not impossible for you to stay in Istanbul."
Mustafa finally calmed down.He shook his fingers, carefully considered the pros and cons of Lilith's words, and said in doubt: "But, even if I can stay in Istanbul, what can I do? After all, the most beloved son of the Sultan died in my mansion , and the Sultan himself is very disgusted with me and my father..."
Lilith laughed easily, her eyes sparkling: "Have you never imagined that one day you will be able to sit on the throne of the emperor?"
Mustafa's eyes widened in astonishment.He stammered: "I, become a Sudan? No, I never thought about it... The Sudan is still very young, he has many sons, and the concubine you sent will soon give birth to an heir... ..."
Lilith almost spit out a mouthful of coffee, and Edmund couldn't help showing a strange light on his face—an heir?The offspring of an abyss banshee and a human! ?Even if Sudan's blood essence was sucked dry, she might not be able to lay half an egg! !
Ulysses couldn't help but glanced at Concubine G and the child... It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, why is Edmond's face so strange?
He involuntarily noticed the contents in the water mirror, and his curiosity arose in his heart.He also heard the previous conversation clearly, but he didn't understand what Edmond and the others were going to do.It sounded like Edmund had planted someone beside the Sultan, but with this, would he have the confidence to let Mustafa sit on the throne?
And... What is his purpose in doing this?Edmund came from the abyss of another world, and he came to this world only because of someone else's call, which seems to have nothing to do with the politics of the Ottoman Empire... Ulysses had a strange emotion in his heart, and he restrained himself go down.
Could it be... because of him?
Edmund didn't know that Ulysses had had a wonderful misunderstanding, but he inadvertently saw the subtle expression on Ulysses' face, his heart moved, and he said nonchalantly: "I thought you hated the Sultan... ...Aren't you interested in this?"
While talking, he also clicked on the water mirror, which doubled the size of the water curtain, just enough for two people to watch at the same time.
Ulysses was indeed very curious in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down neatly: "...I just watched it out of curiosity!"
Trying to cover up or something, the more you look at it, the cuter it is.Edmund admired the slight blush that appeared on his face, and graciously did not expose his lie.He said casually, "If it wasn't for the Sultan, I'm afraid you are still a prince now?"
Ulysses's expression became complicated, and he shook his head: "You can't say that. It was my father who established an independent regime before he provoked the anger of the Sudan... Moreover, my family was ruined and my sister was sold together. The culprit for this is not the Sultan, but someone else."
He lowered his voice, but his expression became stern: "When my sister and I were born, my father was already old, and he didn't have much ambition. He once wanted to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but because of his self-esteem, he delayed. I can plead guilty. Later, when the imperial army surrounded Yani, he finally made up his mind, but was betrayed by the subordinates he had always trusted, and that's why..."
When talking about that person, Ulysses gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "He betrayed my father, received a large reward, and sold my mother, me, and Haiide together to slave traders! He They cut off my father's head and hung it on the city gate. My mother couldn't bear the great pain when she saw this scene, and she fell ill and died in just a few days..."
Edmund's heart suddenly moved, and his finger bones were slightly scorched|hot, but there was no prompt message.He tentatively asked, "What's that person's name?"
"Fernando Montego!" Ulysses gritted his teeth.
Edmond's expression suddenly became strange.If he remembered correctly, wasn't this person one of Dantès' enemies, the one who sent him to prison... How could it be such a coincidence?
He coughed lightly, concealing the weird emotions in his heart, and comforted him: "Now that you have enough power, you will find him for revenge one day..." If Ulysses took revenge under his urging, this should be Is it considered to have completed the contract?
Inside the water mirror, Lilith and Mustafa were still having their conversation.Facing Mustafa's question, Lilith just smiled slightly: "She won't have children... If all the sons of the Sultan are dead, then as the only heir of his remaining brothers, don't you? Is there a chance?"
Mustafa felt his heart beating wildly: "But, the risk of this matter..."
Lilith sighed softly: "Your Excellency Mustafa! Even brothers, they will bite like dogs and wolves in the face of power, not to mention that you and the new Sultan are only cousins? Your father was defeated in the power struggle, do you think you have a chance to regain power? Want to be unrestricted, unless you become the only one who can control the power!"
A dark green fire suddenly flickered in her eyes, and she said word by word: "Even if you don't accept this statement, all you have to wait for is death... So, why can't you work hard?"
Mustafa was stunned, and repeated as if obsessed: "Waiting for death...is it better to work hard?"
Suddenly, he shook his head, suddenly woke up, and his expression returned to normal.He bowed and said goodbye to Lilith as if nothing had happened, as if he had received the best advice, smiling and calm.Lilith sent him out, and Edmund reached out to wipe the mirror, and suddenly threw Ulysses down on the sofa.
Ulysses fell down unexpectedly, a familiar hot feeling suddenly spread, and his face turned blue with anger.He tried to push Edmund away, but he couldn't use any force, and he couldn't help roaring angrily: "Are you a beast, Edmond!?" He was in heat anytime, anywhere! !
Edmund triumphantly breathed into his ear, and whispered: "When facing you, even a lifeless cold rock will turn into lava and boil. If it is a bird|beast...then as early as When I met you on the first day, I had already turned into a beast."
Ulysses was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly jumped into a rage: "You are the cabbage!! Your whole family is cabbage!!!!" He didn't know where the strength came from, and he pushed Edmund away, hopping Pointing at him and yelling: "Next time, it's best not to let me fall asleep when you fall asleep in a prototype!! I will definitely turn every bone of yours into a cabbage, and I will do it!!"
After finishing speaking, he teleported away angrily.
Edmund: "..."
Cabbage or something... Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot...! ?
31. Chapter 31
Ulysses went to Haidee.After finally reuniting with his sister, and being separated for many days suddenly, he still misses her very much.And Edmund lay on the sofa lazily, concentrating, calculated the benefits he could get from Mustafa|, then turned around the ring, and got in touch with Old Parker and the others through the contract signed before.
Although he lost his brain, old Parker's wisdom is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.He not only has a practical sense of gold hunting, but also has a keen sense of business.Within a few days of coming to this world, he sensed the best opportunity to make a fortune, and quickly took action through the relationship that Edmund had given him.
In the past few months, he took the subordinates assigned to him by Edmond and traveled across the ocean with merchant ships, pretending to be a down-and-out noble family, and headed to the East.
This plane has not developed a very advanced civilization, and human footsteps are still limited to the land under their feet.It has almost five known lands suitable for human existence, and the island of Monte Cristo, where Edmond descended, is but an unnamed island in one of them, belonging to Naples.Although this small land has a small population and rich resources, there are many countries and disputes.Relying on wars and academic exchanges, they developed something called "science" and became ambitious because of "science"... And the mysterious and beautiful continent in the east is a river in their legends. A paradise of wealth with milk flowing in it and gold and silk everywhere.So as a matter of course, they tried their best to go to the east, invaded that land, and started the journey of plundering wealth.
How similar is this to the practice that Ryan Continental has been pursuing all along?Mages and sages are constantly conducting research, arming soldiers, manufacturing magic tools, and colonizing and plundering other planes.In the eyes of bankers, money can beget money; but in the eyes of most people with power, there is always only so much wealth, and only those with stronger power can get them.
Before Edmund was summoned, this world was always dominated by Europeans plundering wealth belonging to other continents; and after Edmund came... this sad and self-styled world will usher in countless planes Common greed plunders.
Lilith veiled her concern about Edmund's relationship with Ulysses, but Edmund never worried about it.Because he knew very well that Ulysses was a responsible person.And he will always understand that the only person who can keep the spark of civilization in this world and make long-term progress is Edmond.
Even if he doesn't understand now, it doesn't matter.For Edmund would soon show him that.
Two dwarf craftsmen, a human assassin, and a pair of dark elf twins gave full play to the greatest advantages in the hands of old Parker.While pulling and beating, and giving a stick and a sweet date, the old Parker thoroughly implemented the survival principles of the abyss, and soon gained a firm foothold in India.Thanks to the loss of the East India Company, the British canceled its trade monopoly on India, and the old Parker was able to get into a high position in the shortest possible time, occupy a large enough territory, and start recruiting troops.
Originally, at the time when the manpower was the most scarce in the early days of the business, Old Parker did not report to Edmond asking for more skeletons, but instead set his sights on humans.According to him, the local labor resources are unbelievably cheap. Instead of spending a lot of money to equip those clumsy skeletons with invisible rings, it is better to hire locals directly.Anyway, with magic in hand, there is no need to worry about their betrayal.
He also discovered a rare vein of magic gold in a valley, and sent a batch of ore to Edmond with a long-distance space teleportation array.After receiving this batch of ore, an idea gradually sprouted in Edmond's heart.He told Old Parker to continue to work hard, then found Lilith, and threw the ring sent by Old Parker to her.After the two lords and supervisors made up their minds, they both showed embarrassed smiles on each other.
——From now on, let the situation in the abyss be completely boiled over!
-
Suddenly he learned a lot from mortals becoming legendary gods, and from the memory fragments passed down from Edmund. It is impossible to say that Ulysses is not in a complicated mood.He should have hated the reason why he gained power, but whether it was before or after he became a god, the kindness he owed to Edmund cannot be repaid.
He should also have a grudge against this power...but he really needs this power.
Ulysses located Haiide's position with complicated emotions, and teleported there.He is a man-made deity, not born naturally from the laws of the planes.If it wasn't for Edmond's memory, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how to use this power.
But... now he is finally able to do something, right?Not to mention anything else, at least he can protect Hai Dai well, so that his last relative in this world can grow happily...
……long……
Ulysses stared dumbfounded at the younger sister in front of him, and almost fell off the ship: "...Hai, Haiidee!?"
His lovely, weak, and needy little sister is actually holding a white femur bone with both hands, dancing clumsily to a vicious shark! ! !
And on the edge of the deck stood a sailor who was missing a leg, and was cheering happily beside him: "Well done, Haidee! - yes, that's it! Raise your leg a bit more... yes! Oh, despicable!" Lord witness, you are really talented in magic!"
When Haiidee heard this, she turned her head and gave him a timid smile, and jumped up even harder.Ulysses almost fell from the sky.He quickly fell down and pressed his sister's shoulder: "Haidee! What are you doing..."
"Ah, brother..." Haiide turned to see him and smiled happily, "I'm practicing magic!"
She waved the bone enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Ulysses, you don't know, Teacher Lilith said that I have great potential to learn magic, and as long as I can advance to the first level of magician, she will accept me as her magician." Apprentice...Of course, not a Lich Apprentice, but a Magic Apprentice, Teacher Lilith said, if I become a Lich one day, brother, you will definitely find Lord Edmond desperately..."
Ulysses: "..." He was only away for ten days, why did his lovely sister suddenly become like this!
His thoughts became confused, and he asked subconsciously: "...Then what are you doing now?"
"Practice magic!" Haiidee's pale face was flushed with a smile, and she looked full of energy, "Ms. Lilith disliked my slow progress, so she asked me to practice magic with the soldiers and uncles every day. This is Peter 88 No, because I don't have a magic staff, he even pulled out his thigh|leg and lent it to me!"
"Peter 88" scratched his head, and smiled at Ulysses with a simple and honest face: "..."
Ulysses: "..." Wait a minute, don't you see what's wrong! ! ?Also, aren't these skeletons Edmund's sailors! ?What's up with the soldiers! !Didn't Edmund say that he just came to this plane to play for a while! ?Why do you bring soldiers with you when you play...
……Could it be that! ? ...
Ulysses suddenly felt as if he had guessed something extraordinary.He turned his head and took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, turned his head again, looked at his innocent and lovely sister, and said with difficulty: "Practice magic? But you don't have any magic fluctuations on your body now... Hai Dai, maybe these sailors are not reliable, if you want to learn magic, maybe I can find a way..."
Although his only solution is to find Edmond... But it's better than letting these skeleton soldiers make a move! ?
Hai Dai said in surprise: "Magic fluctuations? It is precisely to find the magic energy smoothly that I correct my posture over and over again here! Brother, don't worry, I have found the right way. Tonight, I invite Would you like to eat shark meat?"
She said excitedly, then turned her head and rushed to the edge of the deck again, looked down, and was suddenly shocked: "Oh, that shark has escaped!"
good run!Great run!Ulysses was instantly elated, wishing he could hug the shark and nibble on it.He strode towards his younger sister, and said with a pleasant face, "In this case, let's go back first, Hai Dai..."
But Peter 88 grinned his yellow teeth, unhurriedly pulled out a piece of bloody monster meat from the space ring, and threw it into the sea.The sea water suddenly churned, and within a few seconds, several sharks approached again.Haiidee gave a cheer, and practiced again with great interest.
Ulysses: "..."
Using monster meat with huge magic power to attract sharks without magic power, jumping like a madman with a thigh bone, thinking that he is learning magic or something...
He felt that he needed silence now! ! !
-
In fact, although it is different from ordinary magic apprentices, Haiidee is really learning the skills of sensing magic energy.
According to the research conclusions of some sages in Ryan World, any creature is composed of two completely different energies intertwined.One kind of energy cannot be used by any existence, the more it exists, the greater the damage to people; and the other kind of energy is the magical energy composed of various magic elements, the more it exists, the more beneficial it is to people Also more.
The energy that cannot be used is called "turbidity" on some planes, and "negative energy" on some planes, and the general meanings are similar.They cannot be classified exactly, and there is no system. The only thing that is certain is that when people breathe, they will inhale magical energy, which is called "angry" in some planes, and the gas discharged from the lungs is " foul air".
Haiidee's magical talent is outstanding, but she was born on a plane full of "turbidity".If one could go back hundreds of years, perhaps the level of energy pollution on this plane would not be so deep, but with the development of industrialization, this situation can only become more and more serious.It is no longer feasible to use conventional methods to successfully sense magical energy, so Lilith thought of letting those skeleton soldiers teach Haiide.
Skeleton soldiers are not capable of all kinds of skeletons. Skeleton soldiers who can ignite soul fire and have a certain amount of wisdom have their own unique methods of cultivation.What Haiidee possesses is the talent of dark magic, which happens to be suitable for this method.In the evening, she finally managed to cast a dark spell and killed a shark.It's a pity that the corrosive power of dark magic is too serious, and the fish is already sour and disgusting before it's cooked.
Haiide had no choice but to give up her thoughts regretfully, and followed the ship back to Izmir Port honestly.Ulysses wanted to tell her what happened to him several times, but when the words came to his lips, he always found it difficult to speak, so he fell silent.
Haiidee didn't seem to notice his hesitancy to speak, and talked about her experience with a smile all the way.From hearing the conversation between Lilith and Edmund in the tent that day, to the perception of practicing magic these days, she was as lively as an ordinary young girl.Ulysses knew in her heart that she must have sensed something.However, in the face of his sister's sensibleness, he could only remain silent, unable to tell what happened to him.
Originally, he only wanted Haiide to grow up carefree under his protection, to protect her from falling in love with someone, getting married, and being with her for the rest of her life; but now she has found a life that is more suitable for him and has become happier ...There is no doubt that Lilith gave Haidee a chance to control her own life.What else could he do but be grateful?
... Could it be that he can only accept help from others all the time?And the way of repaying...is that really the only way?
Ulysses clenched his fist and loosened his fingers lightly.He was the son of Ali Pasha, more of a man.To achieve the purpose of repaying gratitude in such a humiliating way... He doesn't need it!
But what else could he do to help?The memory that Edmond imparted to him was very fragmented. Although it helped him understand a lot of information, it also avoided many important things.He didn't know what Edmund came to this world for, let alone where he could help him.For a person who can create gods and have the god of contract as a backer, what else can't he do?
Before he struggled for too long, the boat had already docked.Ulysses took Haidee's hand and walked slowly back to the house.Lilith had already prepared dinner, and Edmund was already sitting in the dining room. When he saw Ulysses walking in with Haidee, he raised his hand and greeted casually.
Ulysses raised his chin, stepped aside and sat down without looking away.Edmund changed his gesture and waved to Haiidee. Haiidee glanced at Lilith hesitantly and walked over.
Edmund bowed down, and affectionately touched Haidee's head: "Haidee, I heard that you have become Lilith's apprentice?"
It must have been a long time since someone touched her head like this. Haiide was startled, her face flushed suddenly, and she nodded shyly at her fingers.
Edmund continued to ask: "So is it a Lich Apprentice, or a Magic Apprentice?"
Haiidee whispered, "It's a magic apprentice."
Edmund had an obvious look of regret on his face, and he said in a regretful tone that no one else would hear it: "That would be great, if you become a skeleton like Lilith, no matter how slender, small, shiny, and cute I'm afraid Ulysses will hunt for me desperately."
Ulysses: "..." Your tone is clearly not that good, okay! !
He changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Haidei, it's not convenient to learn magic here, is it?"
Haiidee nodded and shook her head again, and said, "I don't know either. Teacher Lilith said that I am very talented, but it took me ten whole days to feel the existence of magical energy... Mrs. Edmund, is Haiidee right? Stupid?"
Edmund smiled kindly and gently: "I never judge the IQ of cabbage."
Haidee: "..."
Ulysses: "..."
Lilith coughed and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty..."
"Don't be so serious, Lilith, we are going to deceive people, not to die." Edmund rubbed Haide's soft|hair, patted her shoulder, and took his hand back, "But , This matter is indeed to be notified to you in advance... If you don't want to, you can apply to stay."
Haidee returned to her place and sat down.Ulysses pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You and Haidee both know now that Lilith and I came from the abyss." Edmund picked up the knife and fork, and slowly cut the monster steak, "The abyss belongs to another plane, we Call it the plane of Ryan. The question now is, Lilith and I will return to the abyss for a period of time, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, will you and Haidee go with us?"
Lilith added: "I suggest that Haiidee go with us. The magical energy in this world is too mixed and not suitable for the growth of magic apprentices. The dark magic energy in the abyss is abundant, and various resources are also complete. Haiidee can even Going to the college to learn knowledge systematically will be of great benefit to her growth."
Haidee looked at Ulysses anxiously.Ulysses was silent for a moment, and asked: "I know that you came to this world for a certain purpose, so may I ask, is the reason for your return related to this purpose?"
Ulysses asked this on purpose.He didn't directly ask Edmond what his purpose was when he went back, nor did he ask him what his real purpose was when he came to this world.However, no matter how Edmund answered, it undoubtedly confirmed one of his guesses.
As a new god, he doesn't need to know what purpose Edmond has, as long as he knows whether these purposes will cause harm to the world.
But if Edmund answered the question so simply, he wouldn't be the lazy lord who turned pale at the abyss creature.He looked deeply at Ulysses, and sighed quietly: "Don't you think, after so many things happened to us, we shouldn't visit my elders?"
"..." Ulysses glared at Edmond instantly, his face blushing.He took a deep breath, and said coldly: "There are some things that you don't need to say in front of Haide, Edmund!"
Facing his angry gaze, Edmund showed a surprised expression.He looked at Ulysses innocently, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you were able to obtain the priesthood of the contract gods without me behind the scenes? Shustar is the only elder I respect in Ryan, and he has been raised since childhood. The person I grew up with, shouldn't you go and see him?"
Ulysses: "..."
A mouthful of old blood is choked in my throat, okay! !
"However, when I go back this time, apart from these trivial things, I do need your help with some things." Edmond changed the subject, and his expression became serious again, "The laws of this plane are in turmoil, and there are no gods to guard them." , you are really lucky to be able to obtain two priesthoods, but if you want to truly use the priesthood and divine power, you can't just search for it yourself. I can also help you with the priesthood of the God of Law, but it is hard to say for the God of Chuyang. However, the God of Dawn is the one who has the best integration with the priesthood of the sun. I just know where the God of Dawn is sleeping. If you take his godhead, you can pretend to be his descendant and go to the God Realm. If you are lucky, you can To be officially conferred under the God of Light and have your own temple... Needless to say, you should know by now how important the power of faith is, right?"
Ulysses nodded silently.There are not many people who worship the sun in this world, most of them are indigenous peoples, but some religious beliefs, such as the image of Allah and God, are related to brilliance, so part of the power of those believers will be fed back to him .After mastering the power of faith, his originally unstable godhead was gradually solidified, and his strength also increased accordingly.Even as long as he wants to, he can partially satisfy people's expectations through laws...
This kind of power is undoubtedly huge, and it is also what a god desperately needs.If you can build your own temple and spread your own teachings, the benefits are almost self-evident.
...It's just that he doesn't understand, if the gods who have mastered the faith are really so powerful, then why do gods like Allah, Zeus, and the sun god Ra still fall from this world one after another?
His problem is also Edmond's confusion, but there are too many such planes in Ryan's world, and it doesn't make sense to pursue the past, so Edmond doesn't bother to delve into it.None of them thought that one day in the future they would be able to get the answer.
Putting this question aside, they officially set their itinerary for Ryan's plane.It's just that before the actual trip, Edmond still has some special things to do.
Raising the wine glass and shaking it, Edmond licked the corners of his lips with a pure and innocent smile: "Lilith, next... I'll leave it to you."
32, 32
Edmund threw Lilith back into the abyss and continued to stir up the muddy water, and then called Patrick back with a conscience—after all, if you want to make people work hard, you can't just give them no benefits.He handed over the matter of Mustafa to Patrick, reprimanded him a few words, and took Ulysses and the others to Monte Cristo Island.After the last lesson, Patrick seemed much better behaved.Anyway, as long as he doesn't divulge his identity, the biggest mistake he can make is to prevent Mustafa from being a sultan, but what does it have to do with Edmund whether Mustafa is a sultan?
All his attention is now on how to drag the whole abyss into the trap—although the abyss has been turned into a muddy pool by him now, Edmund feels that it is not messy enough.He originally thought that this plane only contained one or two galaxies and tens of thousands of planets. Although the benefits are enticing, they have not yet reached the point of attacking everyone.But after Ulysses became a god, he told him that this is a plane with an extremely wide range. Even he, who barely merged with a part of the original source, could not count how many planets there are, and could only barely see it. With an unimaginably thick plane barrier, Edmund realized that he had really picked up a big deal...
But although cheap is good, it’s useless if you can’t keep it.The idea of eating alone was quickly dismissed by Edmond, even if it was the entire abyss, it would be difficult to swallow such an astonishing benefit.But instead of waiting for the mages and sages on Ruien Road and the group of arrogant peacocks from God's Domain to flood into the new plane to take advantage of it, it is better to share the benefits in the abyss.As long as you can take the lead for a period of time, after the power of the abyss expands, you won't have to worry about not being able to hold the gold mine.
However, to apply a popular proverb in Ryan's world - doing business with the devil is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.The group of lords in the abyss are not easy to mess with. Edmund was a little weak, and he might put himself in it in the end.Fortunately, he had already made complete preparations before, and with the God of Contract as his backer, he should be more than [-]% sure of his plan this time.
As long as there is a [-]% certainty, the demons dare to take risks, not to mention that Edmond has six floors?
There was also a reason why he had been so careful about his plans for the demon lords.Edmond's "good neighbors" and "good predecessors" had all been violently crushed by Edmond I. Although they were dead, the vengeful demons transferred their hatred to Edmond.In some matters, their cooperative attitude is quite pleasant - Edmund has no doubt that if they know that the coordinates of the new plane are in their hands, there will be thousands of ways to make Shustar feel The way of fear is to force|force myself to give up all the benefits.
It is not advisable to make a fortune in silence, and pure cooperation is also impossible.It is also very difficult to fight against the group of mature demons with only Edmond's strength.In order to gain the right to speak, one must first weaken the strength of the opponent—letting them get bitten by dogs and bruises all over their bodies, and then throw out the bait to appear on the stage at the right time. This was Edmond's original plan.
But now... Edmund needs to solve the problem in a way that doesn't hurt their vitality, but also needs to take the initiative. Otherwise, when God's Domain and the Continent catch the wind, there will only be a group of old, weak and sick left in the abyss Disabled, it is still the same situation of being slaughtered.So he had to let Lilith leave early, and he repeatedly finalized a new plan, preparing to wipe out the lords.
Demons are often named after their soul essence, and the current seven lords of the abyss happen to occupy the seven original sins in the religious definition.Pride Lord Subobel, Greed Lord Evelisa, Lust Lord Laxialia, Rage Lord Ella, Glutton Lord Guller, Jealous Lord Invitia and Edmund himself, Lazy Lord Arsidia .
Except in the face of Edmund, the relationship between them
Mustafa was strangely relieved.It's better to know that an ally is behind this than knowing it's an enemy.He asked inexplicably: "I really don't understand, why do you want to do this?"
"As far as I know, although you and your father, Harik Pasha, are in charge of a rich city like Izmir, they have always been restricted in their scope of activities." Lilith sipped her coffee and smiled. "Since your father's generation, you have been confined in Izmir. Even if you try your best to develop power, you are always under the supervision of the Sultan. There is no way to develop in the long run. If you don't say anything else, just Say in Istanbul, how many spies do you have? Three? Five? Well, even if you successfully spread out an intelligence network, how many people can you send to the sultan and the prime minister? One? Two?"
Mustafa's expression was a little embarrassing.Not to mention one or two, he only placed two or three eyeliners in Istanbul, let alone the sultan and the prime minister.
"Before this, you could only stay in such a small city and knew nothing about the news from far away. If you want to make friends with the surrounding city lords and powerful ministers, you can only wait for them to come here on their own initiative Instead of going to meet with them in secret. However, with the Sultan's decree, how many cities can you pass through from here to Istanbul? And in Istanbul, how many ministers can you make friends with?"
Lilith put down her cup, leaned slightly, and said in a low voice, "This is an opportunity, Mustafa Pasha. If you can work hard enough, it's not impossible for you to stay in Istanbul."
Mustafa finally calmed down.He shook his fingers, carefully considered the pros and cons of Lilith's words, and said in doubt: "But, even if I can stay in Istanbul, what can I do? After all, the most beloved son of the Sultan died in my mansion , and the Sultan himself is very disgusted with me and my father..."
Lilith laughed easily, her eyes sparkling: "Have you never imagined that one day you will be able to sit on the throne of the emperor?"
Mustafa's eyes widened in astonishment.He stammered: "I, become a Sudan? No, I never thought about it... The Sudan is still very young, he has many sons, and the concubine you sent will soon give birth to an heir... ..."
Lilith almost spit out a mouthful of coffee, and Edmund couldn't help showing a strange light on his face—an heir?The offspring of an abyss banshee and a human! ?Even if Sudan's blood essence was sucked dry, she might not be able to lay half an egg! !
Ulysses couldn't help but glanced at Concubine G and the child... It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, why is Edmond's face so strange?
He involuntarily noticed the contents in the water mirror, and his curiosity arose in his heart.He also heard the previous conversation clearly, but he didn't understand what Edmond and the others were going to do.It sounded like Edmund had planted someone beside the Sultan, but with this, would he have the confidence to let Mustafa sit on the throne?
And... What is his purpose in doing this?Edmund came from the abyss of another world, and he came to this world only because of someone else's call, which seems to have nothing to do with the politics of the Ottoman Empire... Ulysses had a strange emotion in his heart, and he restrained himself go down.
Could it be... because of him?
Edmund didn't know that Ulysses had had a wonderful misunderstanding, but he inadvertently saw the subtle expression on Ulysses' face, his heart moved, and he said nonchalantly: "I thought you hated the Sultan... ...Aren't you interested in this?"
While talking, he also clicked on the water mirror, which doubled the size of the water curtain, just enough for two people to watch at the same time.
Ulysses was indeed very curious in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down neatly: "...I just watched it out of curiosity!"
Trying to cover up or something, the more you look at it, the cuter it is.Edmund admired the slight blush that appeared on his face, and graciously did not expose his lie.He said casually, "If it wasn't for the Sultan, I'm afraid you are still a prince now?"
Ulysses's expression became complicated, and he shook his head: "You can't say that. It was my father who established an independent regime before he provoked the anger of the Sudan... Moreover, my family was ruined and my sister was sold together. The culprit for this is not the Sultan, but someone else."
He lowered his voice, but his expression became stern: "When my sister and I were born, my father was already old, and he didn't have much ambition. He once wanted to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but because of his self-esteem, he delayed. I can plead guilty. Later, when the imperial army surrounded Yani, he finally made up his mind, but was betrayed by the subordinates he had always trusted, and that's why..."
When talking about that person, Ulysses gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "He betrayed my father, received a large reward, and sold my mother, me, and Haiide together to slave traders! He They cut off my father's head and hung it on the city gate. My mother couldn't bear the great pain when she saw this scene, and she fell ill and died in just a few days..."
Edmund's heart suddenly moved, and his finger bones were slightly scorched|hot, but there was no prompt message.He tentatively asked, "What's that person's name?"
"Fernando Montego!" Ulysses gritted his teeth.
Edmond's expression suddenly became strange.If he remembered correctly, wasn't this person one of Dantès' enemies, the one who sent him to prison... How could it be such a coincidence?
He coughed lightly, concealing the weird emotions in his heart, and comforted him: "Now that you have enough power, you will find him for revenge one day..." If Ulysses took revenge under his urging, this should be Is it considered to have completed the contract?
Inside the water mirror, Lilith and Mustafa were still having their conversation.Facing Mustafa's question, Lilith just smiled slightly: "She won't have children... If all the sons of the Sultan are dead, then as the only heir of his remaining brothers, don't you? Is there a chance?"
Mustafa felt his heart beating wildly: "But, the risk of this matter..."
Lilith sighed softly: "Your Excellency Mustafa! Even brothers, they will bite like dogs and wolves in the face of power, not to mention that you and the new Sultan are only cousins? Your father was defeated in the power struggle, do you think you have a chance to regain power? Want to be unrestricted, unless you become the only one who can control the power!"
A dark green fire suddenly flickered in her eyes, and she said word by word: "Even if you don't accept this statement, all you have to wait for is death... So, why can't you work hard?"
Mustafa was stunned, and repeated as if obsessed: "Waiting for death...is it better to work hard?"
Suddenly, he shook his head, suddenly woke up, and his expression returned to normal.He bowed and said goodbye to Lilith as if nothing had happened, as if he had received the best advice, smiling and calm.Lilith sent him out, and Edmund reached out to wipe the mirror, and suddenly threw Ulysses down on the sofa.
Ulysses fell down unexpectedly, a familiar hot feeling suddenly spread, and his face turned blue with anger.He tried to push Edmund away, but he couldn't use any force, and he couldn't help roaring angrily: "Are you a beast, Edmond!?" He was in heat anytime, anywhere! !
Edmund triumphantly breathed into his ear, and whispered: "When facing you, even a lifeless cold rock will turn into lava and boil. If it is a bird|beast...then as early as When I met you on the first day, I had already turned into a beast."
Ulysses was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly jumped into a rage: "You are the cabbage!! Your whole family is cabbage!!!!" He didn't know where the strength came from, and he pushed Edmund away, hopping Pointing at him and yelling: "Next time, it's best not to let me fall asleep when you fall asleep in a prototype!! I will definitely turn every bone of yours into a cabbage, and I will do it!!"
After finishing speaking, he teleported away angrily.
Edmund: "..."
Cabbage or something... Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot...! ?
31. Chapter 31
Ulysses went to Haidee.After finally reuniting with his sister, and being separated for many days suddenly, he still misses her very much.And Edmund lay on the sofa lazily, concentrating, calculated the benefits he could get from Mustafa|, then turned around the ring, and got in touch with Old Parker and the others through the contract signed before.
Although he lost his brain, old Parker's wisdom is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.He not only has a practical sense of gold hunting, but also has a keen sense of business.Within a few days of coming to this world, he sensed the best opportunity to make a fortune, and quickly took action through the relationship that Edmund had given him.
In the past few months, he took the subordinates assigned to him by Edmond and traveled across the ocean with merchant ships, pretending to be a down-and-out noble family, and headed to the East.
This plane has not developed a very advanced civilization, and human footsteps are still limited to the land under their feet.It has almost five known lands suitable for human existence, and the island of Monte Cristo, where Edmond descended, is but an unnamed island in one of them, belonging to Naples.Although this small land has a small population and rich resources, there are many countries and disputes.Relying on wars and academic exchanges, they developed something called "science" and became ambitious because of "science"... And the mysterious and beautiful continent in the east is a river in their legends. A paradise of wealth with milk flowing in it and gold and silk everywhere.So as a matter of course, they tried their best to go to the east, invaded that land, and started the journey of plundering wealth.
How similar is this to the practice that Ryan Continental has been pursuing all along?Mages and sages are constantly conducting research, arming soldiers, manufacturing magic tools, and colonizing and plundering other planes.In the eyes of bankers, money can beget money; but in the eyes of most people with power, there is always only so much wealth, and only those with stronger power can get them.
Before Edmund was summoned, this world was always dominated by Europeans plundering wealth belonging to other continents; and after Edmund came... this sad and self-styled world will usher in countless planes Common greed plunders.
Lilith veiled her concern about Edmund's relationship with Ulysses, but Edmund never worried about it.Because he knew very well that Ulysses was a responsible person.And he will always understand that the only person who can keep the spark of civilization in this world and make long-term progress is Edmond.
Even if he doesn't understand now, it doesn't matter.For Edmund would soon show him that.
Two dwarf craftsmen, a human assassin, and a pair of dark elf twins gave full play to the greatest advantages in the hands of old Parker.While pulling and beating, and giving a stick and a sweet date, the old Parker thoroughly implemented the survival principles of the abyss, and soon gained a firm foothold in India.Thanks to the loss of the East India Company, the British canceled its trade monopoly on India, and the old Parker was able to get into a high position in the shortest possible time, occupy a large enough territory, and start recruiting troops.
Originally, at the time when the manpower was the most scarce in the early days of the business, Old Parker did not report to Edmond asking for more skeletons, but instead set his sights on humans.According to him, the local labor resources are unbelievably cheap. Instead of spending a lot of money to equip those clumsy skeletons with invisible rings, it is better to hire locals directly.Anyway, with magic in hand, there is no need to worry about their betrayal.
He also discovered a rare vein of magic gold in a valley, and sent a batch of ore to Edmond with a long-distance space teleportation array.After receiving this batch of ore, an idea gradually sprouted in Edmond's heart.He told Old Parker to continue to work hard, then found Lilith, and threw the ring sent by Old Parker to her.After the two lords and supervisors made up their minds, they both showed embarrassed smiles on each other.
——From now on, let the situation in the abyss be completely boiled over!
-
Suddenly he learned a lot from mortals becoming legendary gods, and from the memory fragments passed down from Edmund. It is impossible to say that Ulysses is not in a complicated mood.He should have hated the reason why he gained power, but whether it was before or after he became a god, the kindness he owed to Edmund cannot be repaid.
He should also have a grudge against this power...but he really needs this power.
Ulysses located Haiide's position with complicated emotions, and teleported there.He is a man-made deity, not born naturally from the laws of the planes.If it wasn't for Edmond's memory, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how to use this power.
But... now he is finally able to do something, right?Not to mention anything else, at least he can protect Hai Dai well, so that his last relative in this world can grow happily...
……long……
Ulysses stared dumbfounded at the younger sister in front of him, and almost fell off the ship: "...Hai, Haiidee!?"
His lovely, weak, and needy little sister is actually holding a white femur bone with both hands, dancing clumsily to a vicious shark! ! !
And on the edge of the deck stood a sailor who was missing a leg, and was cheering happily beside him: "Well done, Haidee! - yes, that's it! Raise your leg a bit more... yes! Oh, despicable!" Lord witness, you are really talented in magic!"
When Haiidee heard this, she turned her head and gave him a timid smile, and jumped up even harder.Ulysses almost fell from the sky.He quickly fell down and pressed his sister's shoulder: "Haidee! What are you doing..."
"Ah, brother..." Haiide turned to see him and smiled happily, "I'm practicing magic!"
She waved the bone enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Ulysses, you don't know, Teacher Lilith said that I have great potential to learn magic, and as long as I can advance to the first level of magician, she will accept me as her magician." Apprentice...Of course, not a Lich Apprentice, but a Magic Apprentice, Teacher Lilith said, if I become a Lich one day, brother, you will definitely find Lord Edmond desperately..."
Ulysses: "..." He was only away for ten days, why did his lovely sister suddenly become like this!
His thoughts became confused, and he asked subconsciously: "...Then what are you doing now?"
"Practice magic!" Haiidee's pale face was flushed with a smile, and she looked full of energy, "Ms. Lilith disliked my slow progress, so she asked me to practice magic with the soldiers and uncles every day. This is Peter 88 No, because I don't have a magic staff, he even pulled out his thigh|leg and lent it to me!"
"Peter 88" scratched his head, and smiled at Ulysses with a simple and honest face: "..."
Ulysses: "..." Wait a minute, don't you see what's wrong! ! ?Also, aren't these skeletons Edmund's sailors! ?What's up with the soldiers! !Didn't Edmund say that he just came to this plane to play for a while! ?Why do you bring soldiers with you when you play...
……Could it be that! ? ...
Ulysses suddenly felt as if he had guessed something extraordinary.He turned his head and took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, turned his head again, looked at his innocent and lovely sister, and said with difficulty: "Practice magic? But you don't have any magic fluctuations on your body now... Hai Dai, maybe these sailors are not reliable, if you want to learn magic, maybe I can find a way..."
Although his only solution is to find Edmond... But it's better than letting these skeleton soldiers make a move! ?
Hai Dai said in surprise: "Magic fluctuations? It is precisely to find the magic energy smoothly that I correct my posture over and over again here! Brother, don't worry, I have found the right way. Tonight, I invite Would you like to eat shark meat?"
She said excitedly, then turned her head and rushed to the edge of the deck again, looked down, and was suddenly shocked: "Oh, that shark has escaped!"
good run!Great run!Ulysses was instantly elated, wishing he could hug the shark and nibble on it.He strode towards his younger sister, and said with a pleasant face, "In this case, let's go back first, Hai Dai..."
But Peter 88 grinned his yellow teeth, unhurriedly pulled out a piece of bloody monster meat from the space ring, and threw it into the sea.The sea water suddenly churned, and within a few seconds, several sharks approached again.Haiidee gave a cheer, and practiced again with great interest.
Ulysses: "..."
Using monster meat with huge magic power to attract sharks without magic power, jumping like a madman with a thigh bone, thinking that he is learning magic or something...
He felt that he needed silence now! ! !
-
In fact, although it is different from ordinary magic apprentices, Haiidee is really learning the skills of sensing magic energy.
According to the research conclusions of some sages in Ryan World, any creature is composed of two completely different energies intertwined.One kind of energy cannot be used by any existence, the more it exists, the greater the damage to people; and the other kind of energy is the magical energy composed of various magic elements, the more it exists, the more beneficial it is to people Also more.
The energy that cannot be used is called "turbidity" on some planes, and "negative energy" on some planes, and the general meanings are similar.They cannot be classified exactly, and there is no system. The only thing that is certain is that when people breathe, they will inhale magical energy, which is called "angry" in some planes, and the gas discharged from the lungs is " foul air".
Haiidee's magical talent is outstanding, but she was born on a plane full of "turbidity".If one could go back hundreds of years, perhaps the level of energy pollution on this plane would not be so deep, but with the development of industrialization, this situation can only become more and more serious.It is no longer feasible to use conventional methods to successfully sense magical energy, so Lilith thought of letting those skeleton soldiers teach Haiide.
Skeleton soldiers are not capable of all kinds of skeletons. Skeleton soldiers who can ignite soul fire and have a certain amount of wisdom have their own unique methods of cultivation.What Haiidee possesses is the talent of dark magic, which happens to be suitable for this method.In the evening, she finally managed to cast a dark spell and killed a shark.It's a pity that the corrosive power of dark magic is too serious, and the fish is already sour and disgusting before it's cooked.
Haiide had no choice but to give up her thoughts regretfully, and followed the ship back to Izmir Port honestly.Ulysses wanted to tell her what happened to him several times, but when the words came to his lips, he always found it difficult to speak, so he fell silent.
Haiidee didn't seem to notice his hesitancy to speak, and talked about her experience with a smile all the way.From hearing the conversation between Lilith and Edmund in the tent that day, to the perception of practicing magic these days, she was as lively as an ordinary young girl.Ulysses knew in her heart that she must have sensed something.However, in the face of his sister's sensibleness, he could only remain silent, unable to tell what happened to him.
Originally, he only wanted Haiide to grow up carefree under his protection, to protect her from falling in love with someone, getting married, and being with her for the rest of her life; but now she has found a life that is more suitable for him and has become happier ...There is no doubt that Lilith gave Haidee a chance to control her own life.What else could he do but be grateful?
... Could it be that he can only accept help from others all the time?And the way of repaying...is that really the only way?
Ulysses clenched his fist and loosened his fingers lightly.He was the son of Ali Pasha, more of a man.To achieve the purpose of repaying gratitude in such a humiliating way... He doesn't need it!
But what else could he do to help?The memory that Edmond imparted to him was very fragmented. Although it helped him understand a lot of information, it also avoided many important things.He didn't know what Edmund came to this world for, let alone where he could help him.For a person who can create gods and have the god of contract as a backer, what else can't he do?
Before he struggled for too long, the boat had already docked.Ulysses took Haidee's hand and walked slowly back to the house.Lilith had already prepared dinner, and Edmund was already sitting in the dining room. When he saw Ulysses walking in with Haidee, he raised his hand and greeted casually.
Ulysses raised his chin, stepped aside and sat down without looking away.Edmund changed his gesture and waved to Haiidee. Haiidee glanced at Lilith hesitantly and walked over.
Edmund bowed down, and affectionately touched Haidee's head: "Haidee, I heard that you have become Lilith's apprentice?"
It must have been a long time since someone touched her head like this. Haiide was startled, her face flushed suddenly, and she nodded shyly at her fingers.
Edmund continued to ask: "So is it a Lich Apprentice, or a Magic Apprentice?"
Haiidee whispered, "It's a magic apprentice."
Edmund had an obvious look of regret on his face, and he said in a regretful tone that no one else would hear it: "That would be great, if you become a skeleton like Lilith, no matter how slender, small, shiny, and cute I'm afraid Ulysses will hunt for me desperately."
Ulysses: "..." Your tone is clearly not that good, okay! !
He changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Haidei, it's not convenient to learn magic here, is it?"
Haiidee nodded and shook her head again, and said, "I don't know either. Teacher Lilith said that I am very talented, but it took me ten whole days to feel the existence of magical energy... Mrs. Edmund, is Haiidee right? Stupid?"
Edmund smiled kindly and gently: "I never judge the IQ of cabbage."
Haidee: "..."
Ulysses: "..."
Lilith coughed and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty..."
"Don't be so serious, Lilith, we are going to deceive people, not to die." Edmund rubbed Haide's soft|hair, patted her shoulder, and took his hand back, "But , This matter is indeed to be notified to you in advance... If you don't want to, you can apply to stay."
Haidee returned to her place and sat down.Ulysses pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You and Haidee both know now that Lilith and I came from the abyss." Edmund picked up the knife and fork, and slowly cut the monster steak, "The abyss belongs to another plane, we Call it the plane of Ryan. The question now is, Lilith and I will return to the abyss for a period of time, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, will you and Haidee go with us?"
Lilith added: "I suggest that Haiidee go with us. The magical energy in this world is too mixed and not suitable for the growth of magic apprentices. The dark magic energy in the abyss is abundant, and various resources are also complete. Haiidee can even Going to the college to learn knowledge systematically will be of great benefit to her growth."
Haidee looked at Ulysses anxiously.Ulysses was silent for a moment, and asked: "I know that you came to this world for a certain purpose, so may I ask, is the reason for your return related to this purpose?"
Ulysses asked this on purpose.He didn't directly ask Edmond what his purpose was when he went back, nor did he ask him what his real purpose was when he came to this world.However, no matter how Edmund answered, it undoubtedly confirmed one of his guesses.
As a new god, he doesn't need to know what purpose Edmond has, as long as he knows whether these purposes will cause harm to the world.
But if Edmund answered the question so simply, he wouldn't be the lazy lord who turned pale at the abyss creature.He looked deeply at Ulysses, and sighed quietly: "Don't you think, after so many things happened to us, we shouldn't visit my elders?"
"..." Ulysses glared at Edmond instantly, his face blushing.He took a deep breath, and said coldly: "There are some things that you don't need to say in front of Haide, Edmund!"
Facing his angry gaze, Edmund showed a surprised expression.He looked at Ulysses innocently, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you were able to obtain the priesthood of the contract gods without me behind the scenes? Shustar is the only elder I respect in Ryan, and he has been raised since childhood. The person I grew up with, shouldn't you go and see him?"
Ulysses: "..."
A mouthful of old blood is choked in my throat, okay! !
"However, when I go back this time, apart from these trivial things, I do need your help with some things." Edmond changed the subject, and his expression became serious again, "The laws of this plane are in turmoil, and there are no gods to guard them." , you are really lucky to be able to obtain two priesthoods, but if you want to truly use the priesthood and divine power, you can't just search for it yourself. I can also help you with the priesthood of the God of Law, but it is hard to say for the God of Chuyang. However, the God of Dawn is the one who has the best integration with the priesthood of the sun. I just know where the God of Dawn is sleeping. If you take his godhead, you can pretend to be his descendant and go to the God Realm. If you are lucky, you can To be officially conferred under the God of Light and have your own temple... Needless to say, you should know by now how important the power of faith is, right?"
Ulysses nodded silently.There are not many people who worship the sun in this world, most of them are indigenous peoples, but some religious beliefs, such as the image of Allah and God, are related to brilliance, so part of the power of those believers will be fed back to him .After mastering the power of faith, his originally unstable godhead was gradually solidified, and his strength also increased accordingly.Even as long as he wants to, he can partially satisfy people's expectations through laws...
This kind of power is undoubtedly huge, and it is also what a god desperately needs.If you can build your own temple and spread your own teachings, the benefits are almost self-evident.
...It's just that he doesn't understand, if the gods who have mastered the faith are really so powerful, then why do gods like Allah, Zeus, and the sun god Ra still fall from this world one after another?
His problem is also Edmond's confusion, but there are too many such planes in Ryan's world, and it doesn't make sense to pursue the past, so Edmond doesn't bother to delve into it.None of them thought that one day in the future they would be able to get the answer.
Putting this question aside, they officially set their itinerary for Ryan's plane.It's just that before the actual trip, Edmond still has some special things to do.
Raising the wine glass and shaking it, Edmond licked the corners of his lips with a pure and innocent smile: "Lilith, next... I'll leave it to you."
32, 32
Edmund threw Lilith back into the abyss and continued to stir up the muddy water, and then called Patrick back with a conscience—after all, if you want to make people work hard, you can't just give them no benefits.He handed over the matter of Mustafa to Patrick, reprimanded him a few words, and took Ulysses and the others to Monte Cristo Island.After the last lesson, Patrick seemed much better behaved.Anyway, as long as he doesn't divulge his identity, the biggest mistake he can make is to prevent Mustafa from being a sultan, but what does it have to do with Edmund whether Mustafa is a sultan?
All his attention is now on how to drag the whole abyss into the trap—although the abyss has been turned into a muddy pool by him now, Edmund feels that it is not messy enough.He originally thought that this plane only contained one or two galaxies and tens of thousands of planets. Although the benefits are enticing, they have not yet reached the point of attacking everyone.But after Ulysses became a god, he told him that this is a plane with an extremely wide range. Even he, who barely merged with a part of the original source, could not count how many planets there are, and could only barely see it. With an unimaginably thick plane barrier, Edmund realized that he had really picked up a big deal...
But although cheap is good, it’s useless if you can’t keep it.The idea of eating alone was quickly dismissed by Edmond, even if it was the entire abyss, it would be difficult to swallow such an astonishing benefit.But instead of waiting for the mages and sages on Ruien Road and the group of arrogant peacocks from God's Domain to flood into the new plane to take advantage of it, it is better to share the benefits in the abyss.As long as you can take the lead for a period of time, after the power of the abyss expands, you won't have to worry about not being able to hold the gold mine.
However, to apply a popular proverb in Ryan's world - doing business with the devil is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.The group of lords in the abyss are not easy to mess with. Edmund was a little weak, and he might put himself in it in the end.Fortunately, he had already made complete preparations before, and with the God of Contract as his backer, he should be more than [-]% sure of his plan this time.
As long as there is a [-]% certainty, the demons dare to take risks, not to mention that Edmond has six floors?
There was also a reason why he had been so careful about his plans for the demon lords.Edmond's "good neighbors" and "good predecessors" had all been violently crushed by Edmond I. Although they were dead, the vengeful demons transferred their hatred to Edmond.In some matters, their cooperative attitude is quite pleasant - Edmund has no doubt that if they know that the coordinates of the new plane are in their hands, there will be thousands of ways to make Shustar feel The way of fear is to force|force myself to give up all the benefits.
It is not advisable to make a fortune in silence, and pure cooperation is also impossible.It is also very difficult to fight against the group of mature demons with only Edmond's strength.In order to gain the right to speak, one must first weaken the strength of the opponent—letting them get bitten by dogs and bruises all over their bodies, and then throw out the bait to appear on the stage at the right time. This was Edmond's original plan.
But now... Edmund needs to solve the problem in a way that doesn't hurt their vitality, but also needs to take the initiative. Otherwise, when God's Domain and the Continent catch the wind, there will only be a group of old, weak and sick left in the abyss Disabled, it is still the same situation of being slaughtered.So he had to let Lilith leave early, and he repeatedly finalized a new plan, preparing to wipe out the lords.
Demons are often named after their soul essence, and the current seven lords of the abyss happen to occupy the seven original sins in the religious definition.Pride Lord Subobel, Greed Lord Evelisa, Lust Lord Laxialia, Rage Lord Ella, Glutton Lord Guller, Jealous Lord Invitia and Edmund himself, Lazy Lord Arsidia .
Except in the face of Edmund, the relationship between them
