In order to deal with Diao Si, Zhan Qing planned a conspiracy to expel the dark mage, and prepared to find an opportunity to attack him on stage. But how could she speak louder than Diao Si? In the end, she had to create trouble and take action forcefully.
But those civilians supported Diao Si, and Diao Si had already arranged some workers with special treatment among them. Under their resistance, Zhan Qing's people had no chance to get close, and in the end they did not hesitate to attack those civilians.
Diao Si became angry when he saw this. He immediately took out a loudspeaker and asked the staff present to keep an eye on those who hit people, and let the civilians remember the appearance of those who hit people.
"Master Imperial Master, why do you let your men hit people? Do you know this is against the new criminal law?" Diao Si angrily accused Zhan Qing. He really wanted to beat this bastard.
"What criminal law? I, the Zhantian family, hit someone and returned the criminal law? Do you know who I am? I am the Grand Master of the Blazing Empire!" Unexpectedly, Zhan Qing, a bastard, actually attacked him first. She waved her staff around The thing immediately flew up and hit Diao Si.
"How dare you attack me? Do you know that I am now the highest management official? You really don't want to mess around!" Diao Si responded. He is not afraid of Zhan Qing now, and he is very proficient in earth magic. With the same wave of the staff, those things stopped in front of him, and then flew back towards Zhan Qing.
"In my opinion, he is just an evil dark mage. I want to eliminate evil for the empire and bury him in the dark mage's cemetery!" Zhan Qing saw that Diao Si actually knew how to use earth magic, and he was so powerful. She bounced her weapon back and waved her staff vigorously, causing those things to fly towards Diao Si again.
"Elf, blast this bastard out of here!" Diao Si roared, and the things flying over exploded and bounced away. However, she was still able to control the fragments when they reached Zhan Qing.
After Diao Si and Zhan Qing started to fight on the stage, the civilians below and the people brought by Zhan Qing stopped. They began to cheer up Diao Si and Zhan Qing respectively.
Diao Si and Zhan Qing have been fighting with earth magic for dozens of rounds, but they still can't tell the difference, and both of them have lost a certain amount of energy.
In fact, if Diao Si can use other magic, especially wind magic, which he is best at, he can defeat Zhan Qing now, but he wants to practice earth magic, which he is least proficient in, through this.
In this way, when Diao Si became more proficient in the attack types of earth magic, Zhan Qing also began to understand his basic skills. Finally, after a little gravity attack, he hit Diao Si with explosion magic.
There was nothing he could do without an explosion. Diao Si lay on the ground, groaning in pain. That guy Zhan Qing was indeed fooled. Just when she rushed over and wanted to give Diao Si a fatal blow, her legs were suddenly frostbitten by Diao Si's ice magic.
For the strong Diao Si, she is accustomed to attacking the opponent's legs first, which affects her agility. Although this does not cause much damage to the enemy, the enemy's attack and defense will be greatly affected if she cannot move freely. From Zhan Qinglian You can see the panic on his face.
"Wind Elf..." Diao Si suddenly raised his staff, and the sky immediately turned dark, and then streaks of white light ruthlessly hit Zhan Qing's body. Although she had a certain resistance to magic, this The electric shock attack power is not generally high.
However, Diao Si never expected that this bastard Zhan Qing was indeed one of the best mage in the imperial city. After gritting her teeth and holding on for a while, she could actually use earth magic to fight back against Diao Si.
But when Diao Si really wanted to kill her, it was much scarier than she imagined. He suddenly created an illusion through refraction magic like a clone, which made Zhan Qing unable to adapt.
When she was able to grasp the principle of refraction and guess the approximate position of Diao Si, Diao Si had already floated behind her, and ice suddenly froze her hand holding the staff.
"Uh... he, he, he wants to kill me!" Zhan Qing screamed in horror. She hoped to get help from someone, otherwise Diao Sizhen would kill her.
To be honest, of course Diao Si wanted to kill this bastard. Ever since they first met and learned that she coveted his black robe, he knew that this bastard would definitely get entangled with him. And killing her now would also serve as a warning to the people from the major families who were secretly testing his reaction.
But after all, now that so many people are watching, it would be too bloody for him to do it, which goes against what he has always advocated. Moreover, Diao Si knew very well the in-law relationship between the Zhantian family and the royal family, and Zhan Xi from the Masters Association was also an elder of the Zhantian family. If he really killed Zhan Qing, it would be difficult to repair the relationship.
"Master Imperial Master, how could I kill you?" Diao Si paused for a moment before letting go of his hand, and then used water magic to thaw Zhan Qing.
Zhan Qing looked at Diao Si in disbelief, and murmured to herself: "He won't kill me? How could he let go of the opportunity? What is his purpose..."
After listening to her many words, Diao Si responded: "Firstly, your Zhantian family is related to my royal family by marriage, and secondly, I am good friends with your Master Zhanxi, so I hope that one day you and I will be the same." will become friends."
Zhan Qing understood what Diao Si said, but she couldn't believe it at all, how could Diao Si become friends with her. But she already knew that she couldn't defeat Diao Si, which meant that her plan to deal with the dark mage failed, and now she didn't know what else to do.
"Life is not easy anymore, why do we still make enemies?" At this time, Diao Si turned to the people in the audience and said: "I hope the people who were injured just now don't hold grudges because of this. I will provide everyone with treatment and some compensation right away. of."
She continued to say something to try to resolve the grudges, but Zhan Qing was not easily enlightened, so she left quickly. After the guy left, Diao Si also returned to his base camp.
Along the way, he was thinking that Zhan Qing had already directly attacked him. He really had to find a way to deal with the relationship with the major families as soon as possible, otherwise someone would use some excuse to attack him directly next time. Weapons.
So Diao Si summoned Zuo Rui and the others for an emergency meeting. He first talked about today's situation and his concerns, and then proposed to find ways to repair relations with the major families.
In fact, these families are still the main military force of the Blazing Empire in the end. Not only do they have members who are generals in the army, but they also control some of the empire's economic systems, such as the food of the Lei Gang family, the metal and casting of the Haowu family, Gong Pulling the family's kerosene and so on.
The empire cannot break away from them. Diao Si had previously thought about completely conquering them with the final results of the development in three months, but now it seems that he may not be able to wait for that day. He must take action before the conflict breaks out.
Because now Diao Si has mastered the main economy of the entire imperial city, he is fully capable of defeating any family. Obedient families will be given fruits to eat, and those who refuse to obey will be resolutely defeated. Of course, only a few can be defeated.
Just like the Gong La family's kerosene project, they mainly sell kerosene in the Imperial City, and they basically have a monopoly. But Zuo Rui, who relies on advanced technology to produce kerosene, can produce many times as much fuel as them. He can completely defeat them by relying on this.
Next, Diao Si will use Hao Qi's relationship to break into the Haowu family. He has tried and failed before, and this time he will give more benefits to conquer them.
Diao Si hopes to make that old guy Hao Zhan understand that there is no eternal enemy, and he can bring a lot of benefits to the Haowu family. In order to shake hands with the Haowu family, he could even sacrifice a little development speed.
Zuo Rui is a bit opposed to Diao Si's idea, especially the vicious competition of overtaking rivals, because in the process they have to pay a certain price. As a businessman, Zuo Rui doesn't want to do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself.
But since Diao Si arranged it this way, he still accepted it. After all, all his current status and even many of the methods of doing business were taught by Diao Si. It was Diao Si who resurrected his family and made it strong. How could he oppose Diao Si.
This is an economic war that will have a certain impact on the speed of development, but it is already imminent and it is no longer the turn to be cunning. I just hope that Diao Si can successfully capture the hearts of these major families while sacrificing his finances. (To be continued)
