"Damn, these savages have become so cunning!" Srudi's face darkened, "You immediately ask our informants to check the movement of the military headquarters and see how they make decisions. This time the savages can break into the fortress. It must have been planned for a long time, not just coveting a fortress, and besides, you prepare your car immediately, I am going to a meeting of the consortium."
"Yes." The butler continued.
In another room of the castle.
In a bedroom of over 100 square meters, a bed with a length of five meters and a width of four meters is covered by a pink mosquito net, covered with thick cotton wool. The servants can only use bed sticks to make the bed. A beautiful figure in simple clothes is cutting cards with scissors. Two small figures have been cut on her curled white feet, a man and a woman. She is cutting a huge paper card in her hand, which looks like an old castle building. .
On the other side of her hand is a law book. When she gets tired of cutting, she will stop to rest and read books.
…
Mel family.
In a gorgeous office, dark red carpets are spread to every corner of the room. On the light golden curtains are hollow butterflies. The light from outside shines on the carpet in the room. The breeze blows the curtains, and the light and shadow butterflies dance on the carpet. Dance, all the decorations in this room reveal a sense of feminine elegance. Right above the room, where once hung a portrait of a famous theater actress, has now been replaced by a majestic map. This map is square and square, which is the outline of the entire giant wall. The center is gray and dark, and the outer four sides are very small, sandwiched between the outer giant wall and the inner wall, like a narrow sewage drainage ditch. There are four Areas, except one side is a garbage dump, the other three areas are isolated in turn.
The map is drawn more carefully, and the outlines of buildings in various areas can be vaguely seen, from simple to prosperous. On the periphery of this area, there is a symbol marked by extremely small thin lines and black dots. Outside the symbol is a scarlet-hued wasteland .
Beyond the wilderness, there is a huge wall outlined by thick lines. On the four sides of the huge wall, there are a large number of plates of different colors and sizes, with small numbers written on them.
Under this magnificent map, there is a slender and delicate girl sitting, her golden hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall, unlike the curly hair that most aristocratic ladies like, her hair is straight as a line, The bangs on the eyebrows are cut evenly, full of capable temperament, dressed in dark red clothes, with a black skirt on the outside, elegantly dressed as a lady.
In this position, where her father used to sit, now she sits.
She is the young lady of the Mel family, Mel Shaya.
"Miss, the King's Fortress has been breached. The military department should send out the guards to go out to encircle and suppress it?" A white-eyed maid next to her asked in a low voice. She was dressed differently from ordinary maids, and her clothes were more neutral. , full of heroism, with her short brown hair, at first glance she looks like a thin and handsome young man, but her tight but still bulging chest betrays her gender.
Melshaya, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the small map in front of her, and thoughtfully said: "If the guards of the military headquarters are used here, the wildlings can be driven back, but the other fortresses will be attacked by the wildlings, and the losses will be huge." Bigger, this is likely to be the first step in Savage's strategy."
"Savages don't have the environment to learn knowledge, how can they be so cunning?" the maid in heroic attire wondered.
Mel Shaya said slowly: "Attack is born to us humans, just like wild beasts are born to hunt. During the long battle, if they didn't grow up, they would have been wiped out by us long ago. This time they dare to take advantage of the blessing day to invade. These The strategists in the wildlings are far smarter than we imagined, and I'm afraid this will be a long and protracted battle, damn soldiers, even a fortress can't be defended well!"
Seeing her angry, the heroic maid didn't have much fear on her face, she just said worriedly: "If it's a protracted battle, the loss to our consortium will be too great, the location behind the King's Fortress happens to lead to the Red Maple Mountains, It is the mining area of our Mellon Consortium. After these savages capture the fortress, they are bound to drive straight in and occupy the Red Maple Mountains. The terrain there is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is likely to become the first stronghold for these savages to invade. Once the foundation of the consortium there is delayed by the war, the war with the Scott consortium will be at a disadvantage."
Mel Shaya looked up at her, and said with a smile, "You have been with me for so long, you have good understanding."
The heroic maid was slightly stunned, and said, "It's all well trained by you, miss."
Melshaya smiled slightly and said, "Then take this opportunity to test you, what do you think we should do now?"
The heroic maid turned her eyes slightly, and said, "Miss, you said that the mineral industry is a must for our consortium, and it is also the foundation of the Mellon consortium's financial resources, so the Red Maple Mountains cannot be lost. In this case, we can only find ways to help the military. To expel these savages, we can temporarily rent a large number of war supplies from the military department to share their war economy. After they drive the savages away, the war is over, and we have time to collect debts slowly. Thanks to our favors and our debts, it will be much more convenient for our consortium to handle affairs than other consortiums in the future."
Melshaya couldn't help laughing, "You little ghost, that's a good idea."
The eyes of the heroic maid shone slightly, and she said, "It's all well cultivated by you, Miss."
Mel Shaya withdrew her gaze and said: "The idea is good, but it is not feasible. Other financial groups can think of this method, and the military department can also think of this method, so the effect is not great. Moreover, you underestimate the background of the military department. When the real moment comes, they will send out the imperial guards, and they will be able to expel these savages immediately and block the gap in the fortress."
The heroic maid was slightly stunned, "Then...why didn't the military department act? If the savages were allowed to plunder, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the military department..."
"Lisa, you need to take a longer view. Just a little bit is enough." Mel Shaya lightly tapped her finger on the table, and said: "Every consortium, including the military, has to face many challenges. Not an enemy, born in this world, everyone is an enemy, you have to remember this sentence! Therefore, some trump cards cannot be exposed until the critical moment. As for reputation? What the public can see is only what we want Who can know what we don’t want to show them what we show them?”
The heroic maid named "Lisa" was startled, then lowered her head and said, "Miss, you are smart."
"At least better than my ineffective brother." Mel Shaya's eyes flickered, "I only know how to work for the Holy See, what's the use of being a knight of light, a lackey of power!"
Lisa's face changed slightly, and she didn't dare to say anything.
"Get ready, our Uncle Srudi should be eager to hold a meeting to discuss how to solve it. The Red Maple Mine is the property of their Bron family. Hmph, if this is lost, what will their Bron family do in the future? On an equal footing with our Mel family? If it wasn't for Srudi's short-sightedness, the most talented divine envoy 'Du Dian' in history would be a member of our consortium. By then, our consortium will unify the entire economic wealth outside the wall. It is not a certainty. Vulgar guy!" Mel Shaya snorted coldly.
Lisa nodded repeatedly, glanced at her secretly, turned and went out without saying anything.
…
…
Temple of the Elements, in the Castle of the Apostles.
This is the place where the envoys below the master were ordered. Du Dian came here, and after showing his identity medal, he entered the temple. After a series of procedures, he finally received his high-level envoy medal, and also got an extra The production cost is as high as 50,000 gold coins. Although this money is nothing to him now, the selling price of the "Lightning Rod" alone can reach more than 500,000 gold coins, but it is considered extremely high as a bonus up.
In addition to the bonus, he was also assigned to the new God's Castle. There is a separate God's building as a research room, so he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed by other people next door or upstairs or downstairs when he is doing research.
Du Dian led the things back to his own artifact room, hired a temple staff, packed up all the letters on the ground, and brought other tools of his own, and left here. When he went out, he met other people in the castle. Seeing Du Dian's outfit, these people immediately knew that he was about to move out of here, and they all envied Congratulations. A few people wanted to take the opportunity to win over the relationship and pave the way for their future, but Du Dian politely declined.
According to the instructions, Du Dian came to the Thirteenth God's Castle to report. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly bumped into a somewhat familiar figure. A stiff smile appeared on his face, "I heard that you have been promoted to a high-level envoy, congratulations."
Ti Fanmi never expected that she would meet this young man again so soon. She failed in the last two-person hall defense, and she later thought that the crossbow that blasphemed her teacher's work won a very high award. The honor, not only surpassed her most proud work, but also surpassed her teacher's three-star snake crossbow magic. This incident had a profound impact on her, but the most profound thing was the boy's words, the best tribute , is beyond!
For this reason, she put away her thoughts and painstakingly studied her divine art, but now that the divine art has just entered the final stage, she found that the other party caused an uproar again and produced an even more outstanding work, and it was a cross-department creation. She is a rare dual-line magician, and because of this work, she has reached the status of a high-level divine envoy, on an equal footing with her. What was even more unexpected to her was that the latter was assigned to the same divine castle as her!
Du Dian also didn't expect to meet this woman here, but the festival at the beginning was a trivial matter for him, and it passed away with the wind, and he smiled immediately and said: "I didn't expect you to be here, could it be that we will be neighbors from now on?" ?”
When Tifanmi saw Du Dian's relaxed smile, she felt relieved. If Du Dian wanted to pursue the incident at the beginning, she really didn't know how to respond, but the latter didn't seem to care about the past, and her suspended heart fell, and she smiled. Said: "I was in the Ninth God Castle before, and now I moved here. I didn't expect such a coincidence. If you need help in the future, just tell me."
"Okay." Du Dian agreed with a smile.
High-level envoys are all people of status and have a very wide network of contacts. One more enemy is worse than one more friend.
Tifanmi saw a huge burden carried by the temple staff behind Du Dian, and said: "You just came, which floor are you on, I will take you there."
"It's okay, you are busy, I will find it myself."
"You're welcome, I'm not short of such things." Ti Fanmi smiled.
Seeing this, Du Dian no longer refused. After naming the number of Shenlou, under the leadership of Tifanmi, he went through all the check-in procedures. As for the key of the previous magic tool room, he gave it to the staff of the temple to let him go. Give it to the temple.
Saying goodbye to Tifanmi, Du Dian casually glanced at the various floors of the building, saw some scattered furnishings, and didn't bother to tidy them up. For him, this is just a temporary foothold, and the goal is only the highest!
…
…
dusk.
When Du Dian returned to the castle, he immediately saw the servant of the Ryan family standing in the hall waiting for him. When the latter saw Du Dian, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and explained the reason. After hearing this, Du Dian immediately turned around and left the hall, and returned to Ryan Castle with him.
Two hours later, Du Dian appeared on the second floor of Ryan Castle, in the study of Mr. Flynn, and Sandro was also present.
"I just heard that too." Flynn lowered his voice and said, "The King's Fortress was broken. I heard it was broken this morning. The savages should have marched to the Red Maple Mountains behind the King's Fortress. If the army If you move quickly enough, you can stop them before entering the Red Maple Mountains, and you can drive them out quickly, but if you are slow, this is bound to be a protracted war."
The astonishment on Du Dian's face subsided a little bit, his eyes flickered slightly, he frowned and pondered, and asked, "Is the Red Maple Mountains an unowned land, or is it the territory of which consortium?"
"It's the territory of the Mellon family." Flynn said.
Du Dian was slightly startled, lost in thought.
Flynn and his son Sandro looked at each other, silently waiting for the boy.
After a while, Du Dian raised his head and said, "How much do you know about savages?"
Flynn and Sandro were stunned, and Flynn said: "You want to help? This is not something we can intervene in. The savages are extremely fierce. They are led by military advisers, brave and good at fighting, and their physique is far stronger than our soldiers, and there are many of them Some crazy blood savages, this kind of crazy blood savages have amazing physiques, as terrifying as your hunters, and when they are provoked, they go crazy, their strength is greatly improved, they are like wild beasts, and they are extremely difficult to deal with."
Du Dian's eyes moved slightly, thinking silently.
After a while, he stood up and said, "If you pay attention to this matter for a few more days, the Mellon Consortium will definitely keep an eye on our recent actions. You don't need to do anything, I will deal with it."
Flynn looked him up, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Du Dian nodded slightly, put on his coat, and turned to leave. Fulin wanted to see him off downstairs, but Du Dian stopped him, "Just let Uncle Sandro see me off, you should go back and rest earlier."
Flynn saw the servants in the hall from the corner of his eye, hesitated, and nodded.
After leaving the Ryan family, Du Dian asked the coachman to go to a small hotel nearby, "The night is too dark, I won't go back to sleep tonight, just rest here." He said, and opened two rooms, one for the coachman and one for himself .
Going upstairs and entering the room, Du Dian opened the window, and when the night was getting dark, he quietly turned out and left lightly.
