No matter which world they are intelligent creatures, or which civilization they are, being intelligent means having all kinds of desires and appeals beyond instinct. Therefore, in some fantasy works, the so-called gentleman's country or a world without lies at all cannot exist in the real world.
This small world also has its own social system, the same class divisions of high and low, and the same various intrigues and intrigues. Likewise, just like the world of monasticism, there are also cases where people are framed or ignore the facts for the sake of some interests, just like labeling people as "colluding with the devil".
Therefore, for what Ye Zan said, the Sun King and the Queen of the Night could understand the meaning immediately. After all, they are all "old monsters" who have lived for thousands of years in this small world, and they should have seen or even experienced similar things.
"In other words, if we go out, we will face rejection and hostility from the entire outer world, and it may even directly threaten our survival!" the Sun King said with a very ugly expression.
In fact, from the Sun King's point of view, such a thing is quite unfair. Just like people cannot choose their parents, people in their world cannot choose their own world! It is impossible for them to do it, because this world was born with the power of evil spirits from outside the world, so they refuse to be born in this world.
"In this case, do you still want to cooperate with us? Aren't you afraid of getting angry and getting burned!" The Queen of the Night's expression was equally bad, but she still keenly caught what she thought was a flaw in the other party's words.
Indeed, according to general thinking, since these people in the small world may be held accountable for their origins, wouldn't it be possible for Ye Zan and the others to escape the charge of colluding with evil spirits from outside the world? Unless, Ye Zan has never thought about really cooperating with people like Little World, and when the goal is achieved, he will fall out directly, or even turn around and sell people like Little World.
However, when hearing the Queen of the Night's question, Ye Zan did not panic at all, but smiled lightly and said: "Ms. Flenna, the situation you mentioned is not impossible. However, there is a saying It’s called ‘Nothing is worth it’. In fact, the key to many things or things in the world is not whether they are true or false, but whether they are beneficial or not.”
"Profit?" the Sun King said with a frown. In fact, after listening to the Queen of the Night's words, he was inevitably shaken by what Ye Zan and others had said before. However, when he heard that Ye Zan didn't panic at all and didn't feel guilty about having his lie exposed, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Ye Zan smiled and nodded, and said with a very relaxed expression: "Yes, interests! If you have enough attractive interests in your hands, then let alone your situation, even if you were born in the outside world like us , there will also be people who want to take advantage of you. But if you don’t have anything that makes people fancy, and you still have a certain level of strength, who will really hold on to your origins?”
"Of course we understand this truth. Is this the reason why you asked us to help you in vain?" the Queen of the Night asked rather angrily.
Ye Zan said that regarding the issue of interests, people like the Sun King and the Queen of the Night completely understand and can think of it themselves. However, interest does not simply refer to money, nor does it simply refer to minerals or natural treasures, but what others want is "interest."
To put it bluntly, if the other party wants fame, then "fame" is the benefit. If the other party wants people, then "people" are interests. That's right, in order not to be targeted by people from the outer world, people from the small world can end up not wanting any benefits from their cooperation with Ye Zan. However, if you don’t want anything, wouldn’t there be nothing worth coveting for others in the small world
There are more than a dozen Dharma-level powerhouses, as well as a large number of Yuanshen-level, Nascent Soul-level and even lower people. Aren’t these people worthless? Ye Zan knew that if he wanted to cooperate with people like the Sun King, wouldn't other forces in the outside world try to take advantage of these people
Although the society of the small world is no longer a complete slave society, the slavery system still exists. The Sun King and others know very well that people can also bring benefits, and they also know what kind of slaves are more valuable. Just think about it, if a sect or force has a few Dharma-level slaves, is it better than getting ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures
"Probably, you will think that since we have to cooperate with you on this trip, we shouldn't be an extraordinary existence outside. Indeed, if you want to say that we are extraordinary, we may not really be considered, but if we just want to protect you, He should still be capable enough." Ye Zan said it more directly. Since the other party wants benefits, then he should show the benefits he can give to the other party.
The Yuqing Sect is indeed not a great sect force in the world of monasticism. There is only one Dharma Prime Minister, Lord Ye Ping'an, sitting in the sect. As for other top sects, some may have more than one Supreme Supreme Being, let alone a powerful one at the level of Dharma-Xiang Daojun.
However, the Yuqing Sect also has allies, and they have built a huge network of interests with the help of the Thousand Miles Teleportation and the Internet. Any sect or force that wants to attack the Yuqing Sect cannot simply face the Yuqing Sect. It must first consider the consequences of touching this net.
Of course, this does not mean that Yu Qingzong is invincible, but it only increases the cost of moving Yu Qingzong. However, when the cost is higher than the benefit, no one in their right mind would choose to make a loss-making transaction.
"Protect us? If we, the people, are unable to protect ourselves, what ability do you have to protect us?" the Queen of the Night said with disbelief.
It's no wonder that the Queen of Night is like this. After all, Ye Zan's current group is indeed not very powerful. At least it seems that they are only supported by a Tao Yuan Supreme. And in the Queen of Night's thoughts, to explore this so-called place where evil spirits died, why not send a strong enough team to ensure the safety and success rate of the exploration as much as possible.
Therefore, if Ye Zan's "force" only sends out such a team of people, it means that it may not be able to produce any more power.
"This... although saying it may sound like showing off, you may not even believe it. However, in order to show my sincerity, I will tell you about the situation in the outside world and why I dare to say the word 'protection' "Okay." Ye Zan said helplessly.
To be honest, in this situation, telling the other person how awesome you are outside seems like bragging. Moreover, the other party has not been out of the small world and has no understanding of the outside world at all. Everything must be understood from his introduction, which makes it even more difficult to win the other party's trust.
It's like, if a person who has returned from abroad tells a person who has never been out of the village what it's like abroad and how awesome he is doing abroad, can he really believe it? Of course, the premise of this metaphor is that the other party does not have the conditions to understand foreign situations from the Internet, that is, it is in a situation where external information is completely blocked.
However, it was impossible for Ye Zan not to say it. After all, if he said it, the other party might believe it, but if he didn't say it, it would be even less likely to win the other party's trust.
"The outside world..." Ye Zan was patient, trying not to sound bragging in his tone as he talked about various situations in the outside world and the Yuqing Sect. However, he does have one more thing, which may increase his persuasion to a certain extent, and that is some image information about the outside world.
Ye Zan gave an introduction and played some videos, giving an overview of the situation in the outside world, and also explained the relationship between Yuqing Sect and many allies. Fortunately, he had the video as "proof". For the Sun King and the Queen of the Night, who did not understand videos at all and did not know that videos could be modified and edited, the video was quite credible.
The Sun King and the Queen of the Night, watching the video images played by the projection and listening to Ye Zan's "bragging", actually gained a better understanding of the outside world. Even if it is impossible to believe 100% of what Ye Zan said, especially about Yuqing Sect's "strength that does not allow for low-profile", it is at least 70-80% believed.
"So that's it. If what you said is true, I believe you are qualified to say 'protection'." The Queen of the Night said to Ye Zan calmly with a bit of shock and curiosity in her eyes.
"So, is this a benefit you can get?" Ye Zan asked instead.
You know, this "protection" is not something you talk about casually. Although Ye Zan showed his strength here, it does not mean that there is no need to take risks in this matter. And, on the other hand, even if Yu Qingzong does not take much risk, it does not mean that people like Xiao Shijie do not need to accept this sentiment. After all, they can indeed benefit from it.
"Okay, I'm convinced by you, but just a word of 'protection' doesn't seem to be very reliable." The Queen of the Night no longer wants benefits, but she doesn't completely trust Ye Zan and others.
In the final analysis, it is difficult to gain enough trust in a mere verbal promise, and it is not impossible to burn bridges in this world. Although Ye Zan also said that he could get benefits from them, such as enhancing the strength of the entire Yuqing Alliance, and using benefits as a binding force to win people's trust, that thing is not very safe. .
"So, Ms. Flenna, do you have any suggestions?" Ye Zan then asked.
"After leaving this world, we hope to have a truly binding covenant with you, just like your allies, to ensure that we will not be abandoned at will." The Queen of Night thought about it again and again, and couldn't think of anything that could be done now. The only way to form a binding force is to put this matter out after it is released. At least, in her current opinion, no matter what happens in the future, the other party should not burn down the bridge as soon as they get out. After all, she has "the strength of numbers" on her side.
"There's no problem with this. As soon as things here are over and we leave the small world, we will immediately prepare for an alliance." Ye Zan agreed happily. He didn't have any bad intentions. Although he didn't know whether the covenant in the monastic world was binding on these people in the small world, it wouldn't hurt if he gave it a try.
After finally getting the Queen of the Night, Ye Zan then talked about his next plan, which was naturally to cooperate with more indigenous heroes from the small world. At this point, the Queen of the Night provided a convenience. As a member of the so-called Supreme Council of the small world, she directly sent the message to the other council members.
The Supreme Council of the small world is an organization composed of many peak powerhouses that oversees and manages the entire world. It is somewhat similar to the fairy court in the monastic world. However, compared to the Immortal Court in the monastic world, what the Supreme Council does is somewhat trivial. It is nothing more than crowning the king and conferring honors on someone. The most important task is to prevent the resurgence of the orcs, prevent the world from falling into war, avoid the recurrence of the Dark Ages, etc.
The entire Supreme Council, including the Queen of Night, has a total of thirteen members, and the Sun King is not among them. After receiving the convening message from the Queen of Night, the other twelve congressmen quickly rushed over from all over the world. After all, what the Queen of Night said was related to the survival of the world. Although no matter how much everyone thinks, they can't think of anything that can affect the survival of the world, but there is nothing for everyone to do anyway.
It may be a bit sad to say that these powerful people who have reached the pinnacle of the small world can no longer improve even a little bit no matter how hard they try and study. This resulted in them not having to practice anything anymore. At most, they could just teach their own students, spending most of their time idle and panicking.
Now, I suddenly heard a message from the Queen of the Night, saying that they had to discuss important matters related to the survival of the world. Although 99% of the people didn't believe it, they just thought that maybe this old woman was too idle. However, who wants to be free? Since everyone is free, let's just treat it as a party and run over to have a look. It's not a big deal.
So, not long after, members of the Supreme Council were welcomed one after another to the Queen of Night's Dark Night Castle. Although everyone arrived at different times, some were early and some were late, but in order to save trouble, Ye Zan did not persuade each one. Until all the invited people arrived and gathered together under the arrangement of the Queen of the Night, Ye Zan finally made his official appearance.
Regarding how to persuade these people, Ye Zan also used this time to carefully sort out all kinds of information, including the video materials that needed to be used as evidence. It can be said that he prepared this event completely as a new product launch conference, and only in this way can he convey his meaning more comprehensively.
