Beta's mood has been depressed for two days. Unlike in the game, everyone in this world is alive.
He personally decided the death of one of his students in Reed Village.
As a high-intelligence professional, he has a very good memory, and he can clearly remember the scene of this student getting along with him in Reed Village. an unnecessary burden.
Two days later, he tried his best to make himself forget about this matter, and then he started to lead a delegation of envoys, first handed over the exchange documents, and then walked slowly in the direction of Wangcheng.
Saint Joan continued to receive Angel's teaching in Woking City. Whether it was manner training or 'social' skills, Angel was several blocks away from the current Saint.
As for those girls who failed the selection, nearly ten of them have become other people's wives, and the rest have become more popular.
The influence caused by the selection of the saint this time is still fermenting. The terrifying influence brought by the "live broadcast" of the Wealth Sect, more and more people not only know about the Wealth Sect, but also begin to believe in the Wealth Sect.
Especially those girls, whether poor or rich.
After all, every girl has a princess dream. And the status of the saint seems to be higher than that of the princess.
In the past, the saints of all the gods were selected internally, but now, the god of wealth provides a chance for all school-age girls.
Although this opportunity may only appear once in ten or twenty years.
Seeing this, many small sects also want their 'gods' to show up like this.
But in this world, Beta seems to be the only one who can contact his own god at will.
When Beta entered the royal city, he was grandly welcomed and protected by the guard of honor sent by the king.
After a series of routine handovers, Beta finally sat face to face with the young His Majesty the King.
"You used to come to see me by yourself, now you are here officially, what is the purpose?"
"To do something more important, of course a formal request and notification must be made." Beta put the prepared map in front of the other party.
The king opened it and looked with surprise on his handsome face: "This cross...is a water conservancy project?"
Beta nodded: "To be precise, it is the Grand Canal of the Cross. The Grand Canal runs through the entire north and south of Hollevin."
"Do you really want to build a water conservancy?" The young king had a narrow smile on his face: "It seems that you like the new saint very much. You are willing to help her complete her nonsense suggestions!"
Beta retorted with a chuckle: "It's better to say that she is very politically forward-looking, and she guessed the next plan of our God of Wealth Church early on."
The young king naturally did not believe it.
The original materials of the new saint have already been placed on the beds of all forces.
An illiterate shepherdess, without any special bloodlines, nor taught by any famous teacher, can she guess the plan of the One-person God Cult
Just kidding, the possibility of the demons attacking humans is much greater than this.
"Let's not talk about the new saint for now." The king tapped the map: "Pope, can you tell me how much it will cost to build the Grand Canal? How much will our royal family pay for it?"
"Conservatively, within five years, at least 20,000 gold coins will be spent."
The king heard a vein twitch in his forehead.
Twenty thousand gold coins are required within five years, and the royal family of Huo Lewen can't raise such a large amount of money at all.
Beta went on to say: "Money doesn't need a copper coin from the royal family, just give me a consent document to build the Grand Canal."
There is no need for the royal family to pay... The king was relieved, but he had a new question in his mind.
"The Grand Canal can improve our country's traffic environment, which is of great benefit to our country. I understand that." There was a little distrust on the king's face: "But what good is it for you, Waking City? ?”
"Reputation."
His Majesty the King was a little puzzled.
"We will name this Grand Canal, like 'Wauking Cross Canal'. After the canal is completed, everyone who uses this cross canal to travel or do business by boat will silently recite the words of our goddess in their hearts. name."
Seeing the king's somewhat surprised expression, Beta continued: "For our goddess, this is an opportunity to gain the weak power of faith. If there is no human destruction, the canal can be used for at least hundreds of years, or even two or three thousand years. Also In other words, this cross canal has always been able to provide faith for our goddess, do you still feel that such a thing is of no benefit?"
After listening to the king, he was silent for a while, and said: "I agree, but you still have to convince the lords where the canal passes. They have the right to dominate everything in their territory."
"I understand!"
After King Bei wanted to get the document agreeing to build the Cross Canal, Beta visited those lords one by one based on the principle of proximity.
Because there were too many movements of Beta's trip this time, many forces were eyeing him, and some assassins who wanted to put him to death would naturally appear.
After receiving Shirley's order, Katie directly gave up some more important investigations, and directly joined Beta's envoy team halfway to protect him personally.
In addition, in the air above the envoy team, there is also a golden dragon hovering.
In addition, Beta itself was extremely strong, and this triple insurance made many assassination teams disappear silently after they approached them.
After several times, naturally no assassin will appear again.
After all, cultivating assassins also requires resources. If one dies and one is missing, any force will be heartbroken.
After negotiating a win-win deal with the thirteen lords, Beta went to Bluewater Port.
According to the calculations of hundreds of water conservancy experts they invited from Woking, the Grand Canal diverted the water from the glacier from the northwest, turned it into a large river, and then flowed to the southeast. The lake leads to the commercial city of Sicilia in the south, and approaches the blue water port in the west, where it flows into the sea.
And Woking City is located at the cross hub, and it can be sailed to any place, which can be said to take advantage of the convenient location.
Of course, the City of Woking is responsible for the construction of the Cross Canal, so no one will feel that there is anything wrong with leaving some benefits for themselves.
When entering Bluewater Port, Lord Uther sent a dozen soldiers to meet Beta.
As the pope with the same identity as the king, the other party greeted him with only a dozen soldiers, which in itself was a kind of contempt.
But Beta didn't care, he was just a little worried about whether this negotiation would be successful.
After all, he and Uther had some unpleasant things a few years ago.
Beta took the initiative to ask someone to submit the meeting document, and Uther sent someone to reply. He just said 'I got it' lightly, and there was no more to say.
After waiting for three days, the other party did not send anyone to invite Beta to visit.
Katie said quite angrily: "Pope, you are the spokesperson of the goddess in the world. If he doesn't see you, he is contemptuous of the goddess."
While it may seem conceited, Katie has a point. The pope is indeed a representative of the gods in the world, and also the face of the gods.
It stands to reason that no matter what, Uther should meet with Beta, not this kind of gaffe that puts people aside and ignores them.
Even if the other party doesn't want to see him, Beta will not force it, let alone beg the other party.
Just when he was about to leave, the people from the City Lord's Mansion finally came and invited him to visit him.
When Beta saw Uther, he was lying on the bed.
There were strips of white cloth wrapped around his body, blood oozing from many places in the white cloth.
Beta only looked at it for three seconds, and knew that Uther's wounds were all real.
Beta said how dare the other party let him go for a few days. It turned out that he was seriously injured.
"Sorry." Uther's expression was a little gray: "I have been in a coma for three days, and I have neglected His Majesty the Pope."
Beta shook his head and said he didn't care: "How did your injury come about?"
"A Demon Naga that came out of nowhere." Uther said with a wry smile: "My soldiers found him, and then I brought some people to kill him, but I was too careless. killed Naga, but he was also injured."
"Take good care of your wounds. I'm here this time because I want to talk to you about something."
Beta explained his reason for coming, Uther thought for a while, and said: "I agree with your approach, if there is a canal that can lead to me, it will indeed bring a lot of merchants and tax."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Beta stood up and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your rest."
Uther closed his eyes, nodded, and did not keep Beta.
Beta returned to the envoy team and called Katie out: "Uther was injured. Although he told me the cause of his serious injury, I don't think it should be like this. And he said that he was killed. Turn around the demon clan, help me find out, what is the name of the demon clan he killed, and where is the body now?"
"Ok, I see."
Katie disappeared.
Beta asked the envoys to pack up and leave the city. They didn't leave Blue Water Port too far, but temporarily settled down in a dense mountain forest.
Three days later, Katie appeared in the grove, and she told Beta what she saw: "They didn't kill the demons, but captured them, and now they are raising them in a big bath .”
Well, that demon is actually an underage mermaid.
After listening to Katie's report, Beta thought for a while and said, "Can you find a way to send that mermaid back to the sea."
"Of course I can do it, but I don't understand why I put the mermaid back into the sea."
"Because the mermaid is the darling of the sea..." Beta continued: "If this continues, there will soon be a large hurricane hitting the blue water port. Why was Searle injured? Did you find out?"
Katie's expression was a bit strange: "He was beaten like that by that mermaid."
