Roman put down the cutlery and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Jing approached Roman's ear and covered his mouth with his hand:
"Hunters need the technical support of artisans, but the empire and various tribes have no time to take care of them for the time being, because we don't get involved in the confrontation between the empire and the tribes, and we don't have to compete for arms, so there are a lot of free manpower, maybe this is an opportunity.
For example, as a neutral party, we cultivate or absorb some craftsmen, focus on providing hunters with a supply of resources similar to workshops, and obtain certain benefits, and we can also win over some hunters... Maybe we can expand our power? "
Roman glanced at Zhou Jing unexpectedly, not expecting him to say these words.
There are many people here. Roman called Zhou Jing to leave the hotel and came across the street. Then he picked up the topic and shook his head:
"This is indeed a way to expand our power, but the drawback is that it is too noticeable and does not meet my expectations. Moreover, even if we can organize artisans and establish a neutral workshop, the empire and tribe will try to incorporate, or even capture them directly. Artisans work for them."
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and said:
"Well, in this stalemate where the workshop is suspended, the neutral workshop may be able to gather a group of hunters and let them spontaneously guard the workshop.
As long as this mechanism can be maintained, it can gradually spread. Although it cannot replace the Empire Workshop, it will gradually form a neutral force that operates on its own
We don’t necessarily have to reveal our origins, we may be able to do it under the cover, so that others think it’s just a neutral voluntary organization formed spontaneously by the people. "
As he spoke, he stared at Roman's face.
It is not only an offer, but also a side attack, trying to inquire about Roman's plans.
This person took the lead in the independence of the clan and provoked a confrontation between the empire and the clan. At this time, he no longer helped the clan, but kept a low profile. What kind of interests was he planning.
It's not just that the world is not in chaos, is it
Zhou Jing thought about it, and the more reliable guess was to use the opportunity of war to expand his own power. .
"Building a neutral organization through backdoors?"
Roman's eyes flickered and he shook his head:
"There is a certain feasibility, but the risks and costs far outweigh the benefits. Even if we can win over a group of hunters to protect themselves, the hunters are difficult to control. We are not an authoritative empire, and most hunters are just peripherals that we cannot command. strength.
And the empire and the tribe can't fight, the confrontation won't last long, and this time is not enough to do anything... It's enough to hide as I said, don't do other unnecessary things. "
Zhou Jing pretended to be puzzled: "Then why don't you do anything other than spread the new type of alien blood medicine? I thought you wanted to seize the opportunity of confrontation between the two sides and expand your power."
Roman explained casually:
"Your proposal requires too many prerequisites, such as sufficient craftsmen, huge resources, stable transportation routes, long-term workshop shutdown, lack of time to manage empires and tribes, etc...
Even if it is reluctantly established, once the confrontation ends, the official workshop resumes production, and the neutral workshop will lose its function, and will eventually be divided up by the empire and the tribe. After all, they do not want to see a new force that does not know the details absorb a large number of hunters... "
Zhou Jing interrupted: "Unless this neutral force is dominated by hunter groups and formed spontaneously."
Roman frowned, thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing continued: "No matter the empire or the tribe, more hunters are needed to deal with the threat of alien beasts. If the hunters spontaneously form a group to form a neutral organization dedicated to dealing with alien beasts, the hunters will be responsible for the operation and expansion of the organization themselves. Provide the convenience of hunting for yourself, and most hunters recognize the existence of this neutral organization, so it shouldn't be targeted, right?"
Roman thought for a while, then shook his head and spoke in a slow tone:
"The situation you mentioned may indeed exist. If it is a hunter organization recognized by most hunters, the empire and tribe should not care.
But the problem is, that's what the Imperial Workshop did, and it was built for this purpose. It has been in operation for many years, and it has already become the first choice for hunters to rely on. The empire and the tribe faced each other for the first time, not a real war. In the eyes of most people, the official workshop will resume, so there is no need for hunters to waste energy and build their own workshops.
In addition, it is difficult for hunters in various places to communicate with each other, and there is no way to unify their opinions. Without the help of the ruler, it is difficult to establish exclusive workshops in various places, so what you have proposed is just an almost impossible assumption... Actual work has to face , can be more troublesome than a good plan.
Besides, there is no reason for us to do this. Hunters grouping together does not mean obeying orders. Even if it is a backdoor, we can’t command hunters. This is not something we can play around with. "
Roman went so far as to say that Zhou Jing was on paper and whimsical, but he was somewhat euphemistic.
"Okay, I'm thinking too much... So what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhou Jing pretended to sigh.
Even without him, Roman would still provoke tribal independence, so publicizing the new alien blood potion was just icing on the cake, not Roman's core motivation.
Although publicizing the formula of medicine is a practice for the benefit of the public, more people can obtain extraordinary power, which can further reduce the threat of alien beasts... But this is also a double-edged sword.
If a civil war does break out one day, then due to the existence of a large number of alien blood warriors, the destructive power of the war will be even higher.
I don't know if it's good or bad.
Hearing the question, Roman smiled without saying a word, still not intending to answer.
He just looked at Zhou Jing with a relieved look in his eyes.
Although Bill's proposal is not very reliable in Roman's opinion, this attitude of seriously making suggestions for the forces makes Roman very happy.
This means that the two have common interests. Bill regards his power as his own power, so he will make plans for the development of the power and regard it as his "own family".
In his view, this is Bill's signal of return.
Finally got the loyalty of this pharmacist!
Roman was secretly relieved that this wave of sorcery was not for nothing.
Ignoring Roman, who was moved by himself, Zhou Jing was still considering the plan to establish a neutral organization of hunters, and felt that it was feasible.
First of all, it must be able to call on a large number of hunters to promote a group, and secondly, it must be able to provide stable technical support, and then not be targeted...
Beidi Pavilion
According to Roman's words, ordinary people can't do this, but it may not be impossible for the two astral apostles to cooperate with each other.
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and pondered.
After all, he is also a hunter who made his fortune. In doing so, one is to help the hunter, and the other is to harvest more information-state particles and open up new channels.
If Roman is willing to do it, he doesn't mind helping a little bit to test the feasibility, but looking at Roman's meaning, it seems that he is not interested.
But the time is really immature now, and we still need to wait for the opportunity, and wait for the two astral apostles to continue to grow... It may not be impossible to try to go it alone in the future.
In the eyes of people with existing factions, this kind of thing may not bring much benefit. Even if empires and tribes are willing to do this kind of thing, it is for the interests of their own faction. The motivation is not pure, and true neutrality cannot be achieved.
But for a person who has no faction or position, it may be a good thing to come up with a neutral force headed by hunters, and it is easier for others to admit...
Zhou Jing pondered silently, temporarily pressing the idea to the bottom of his heart.
After the topic was over, the two returned to the road.
Before leaving, Zhou Jing looked through the window and looked at Baron in the hotel.
Baron was chatting with fellow hunters, as if he had let go of his heart.
"Looks like he's doing well."
Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze, did not intend to meet Baron, turned around and followed Roman on the road.
In the hotel, Baron paused, and subconsciously looked out the window at Bill's back, feeling a subtle feeling in his heart.
He had noticed before that this stranger looked at him frequently, not knowing what he was looking at.
'Forget it, I don't know each other, so it doesn't matter if people take a look. '
Balon rubbed his bald head and put the matter behind him.
…
After leaving the village, Zhou Jing and Roman had a smooth journey, returning to the base without incident.
After getting the witchcraft, Zhou Jing also began to perform his duties, picking up the potion craft again, improving and developing new potions in the base.
And with the help of practice acceleration, take out a few hours a day to practice witchcraft, and quickly increase the development of "element wizards".
Other things, basically do not ask, just immersed in work and practice.
Roman, according to the previous plan, spread the formula of the new type of alien blood medicine to many tribes.
A month or two later, the town workshops controlled by the various clans began to see new types of finished products of different blood medicines one after another.
The new type of alien blood potion used to be the exclusive supply of the imperial lineage, and now it is available everywhere, breaking the monopoly of the royal family at once.
The tribes also claim that, unlike the royal family who needs to join in order to get the new type of alien blood potion, it is supplied unconditionally like the original alien blood potion... It's just that the current workshop production capacity is supplying the army, so it is temporarily out of stock.
This kind of change caused an uproar among the people.
Originally, a large number of civilians thought that they had to work for the royal family in order to obtain the low-risk mild and different blood medicine, but they did not expect that a good thing would suddenly appear, and they could be purchased anywhere.
The confrontation between the empire and the tribe originally caused people to panic, but as soon as this incident came out, many people suddenly felt that the independence of the tribe might not necessarily be a bad thing, giving people more choices.
A few months ago, the developer of the new type of alien blood medicine and the chief pharmacist of the empire ran away, and a new rumor was born among the people. They believed that Bill had noble feelings and hoped that more people would use the new type of medicine. Let the royal family monopolize, and then decided to flee, and finally stood on the front of the various tribes.
And King Becky, who was far away in the capital, was stunned when he heard the news.
Those are the research results of the empire, so they were mastered by the enemy
Not one or two, but all enemies!
Bill, you are so cruel!
Becky was pissed off again.
