"So...that's it?"
"almost."
"But haven't you been able to fully control it yet?"
"I'm thinking that it's a bit difficult, and it's not something that can be done in ten or twenty years. Anyway, the things are here with you and can't be lost, so I'm not in a hurry."
"...I'm anxious!"
"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of a young man like you. You, an old man who has almost lost all his beard, what do you have to be afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of being eaten alive. I'm afraid of death!"
"...Can't you be more particular? After all, you are also the leader of the evil god series. Can you save some face?"
"Of course I want face, so how about you give me face and live here for a few more years?"
Sui Xiong sighed deeply, feeling extremely helpless.
An old man who was so old that it felt like his chin had been buried in the soil, put on such a rogue attitude, but what he was asking for was help, something that could be said openly and openly. He really couldn't refuse it sternly.
Brother Xiong is a bit of a soft-spoken guy. Of course, if the other party is a person who is hated by gods and ghosts, then he will not take soft and hard measures. For example, the kind of person who pretends to be a sheep when he is frustrated and turns into a jackal when he is successful. No matter how pitiful he is, he will only step on the opponent to ensure that the other person never has the chance to turn into a jackal again.
However, the Dragon of Chaos is not this kind of person, and he is certainly not a good person, but no matter how he behaves or does things, he gives people a sense of straightforwardness and integrity. He is the kind of person who, even if he wants to make trouble for someone, does so clearly and does not dig traps, shoot hidden arrows, use cold shots, and does not use despicable means. Even His enemies are often forced to admit this.
More importantly, He also has the behavior of "giving face" from time to time. As the saying goes, keep a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. The Dragon of Chaos likes to leave a thin line as a human being. Those who have been left with a thin line by him have to admit this fact no matter how uncomfortable they feel.
As for the people who were watching melon-eating, of course they were even more impressed by his momentum.
Sui Xiong was also given face by the Dragon of Chaos. When he rescued the believers in the Divine Kingdom of the Harvest Goddess, the Dragon of Chaos did not trouble him at all. Later, when he needed it, almost all the civil buildings in the Kingdom of God were packaged and given to him - even though he had clearly answered "I can't afford your face" at that time, he did not change his approach.
In this way, even though Sui Xiong didn't agree to the face, he already accepted it in his heart.
In addition, this time, he came to the Dragon of Chaos to borrow treasures. The Dragon of Chaos did not try to bully or threaten him, but always followed a soft line. Even if it failed miserably, it was always reasonable and not at all overbearing. the meaning of.
Facing such a person, Sui Xiong couldn't be hard-hearted.
So after all, he still couldn't defeat the Dragon of Chaos and agreed to stay for a few more years.
Of course, because he had awakened from the state of contemplating the treasure, the clone in the Kingdom of God also regained consciousness. In fact, in most cases, his several clones are enough to solve the problem.
After all, he doesn't have any special problems that require combat power to solve.
After yawning and stretching, the green jellyfish lying on the table in the conference room like an ornament slowly floated up and recited two lines of poetry.
Well, it's not something like "I live and die for the benefit of the country", but "Whoever wakes up first from a big dream will know it in my life."
He originally wanted to say "The spring in the thatched cottage is full of sleep, and the sun is getting late outside the window" - it was one of the few poems in the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that could be recited. But after saying the first two sentences, he found that the meeting The room was decorated with splendor and splendor, so I couldn't say the remaining two sentences.
Alas, Brother Xiong feels that he is not thick-skinned enough to tell lies with his eyes open!
"Hey, you're awake." Morani was studying a strange-shaped long knife. Seeing his actions, he said with a smile, "You slept for a long time."
"It's only ten years, not a long time."
Morani thought for a while and nodded: "It was indeed not long ago. It's just that you are usually very active and there has been no movement for ten years, which makes it feel a bit long."
While they were talking, lights flickered in the conference room, and gods came one after another. Naturally, they all came to say hello after learning that Sui Xiong had woken up.
Of course, a few words of greeting would not last too long, so Sui Xiong quickly regained his composure and started to deal with business.
"Has anything big happened in these years?" he asked.
Wall, the god of knowledge and learning, thought for a while and said, "The territory of the Northwest Republic has expanded a little."
"Oh? I know that there is a two-headed crane city who joined the Republic. Is there anything else?" Sui Xiong was a little curious.
"There are three more." Wall answered. "The first is a new pioneer town called 'Kengshu Town'. The town's main income comes from adventurer training and the rental of various undead adventure props. The town mayor is also in charge. The official is Miss Tessa Tuyan... the sister of the legendary necromancer Mr. Tuyan."
Sui Xiong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Tu Ya'an has always wanted to find something for his sister to do. He is very rich, which is enough for her to spend her whole life living in fine clothes and fine food. However, he feels that it is not quite right for a young girl to sit in her room all day watching dramas and novels. So I never forget to find some suitable job for my sister to pass her time. The income from this job is not important. What is important are two points. First, it must not be hard, otherwise he will feel distressed; second, it must be face-saving, otherwise Tessa will be unhappy.
Being the mayor of the town and the governor of the Northwest Republic is not a hard job as long as you plan it properly and find the right assistants, and the face is naturally great - how much territory does the Northwest Republic have in total? Being able to become a Mu Shou is certainly a very honorable thing!
Now that Tuyan's full promotion is available, the next thing will be much simpler. They found a place with convenient transportation and built an underground town by themselves, which was good for keeping warm. They also made a lot of other preparations, and then recruited enough people to officially launch the business.
In the beginning, this place was just a village, or a training camp and a large store. Tuyan named it "Big Tree Village" because he planned to plant a big tree here.
Later, the big trees were not planted, but the village grew larger and larger, and soon developed into a town. Because the town is underground, like a pit, it is called "Kengshu Town".
And Tessa Tuyan naturally became the mayor.
"I see, what about the other two territories?" Sui Xiong asked.
"One is also a town that was originally part of the Gold Coin Federation. It is not far from the Double-Headed Crane City and was added after the Two-Headed Crane City. The other one is a barbarian tribe on the northern ice sheet and was built by Qiao Xiu himself."
Wall paused and hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but say: "In that tribe, almost all are descendants of Qiao Xiu..."
