The carriage drove in front of the castle, and several newspaper reporters who were hiding outside the castle from the rain were a little surprised when they saw the carriage, and keenly sensed a hint of excitement that made them excited. Some of them immediately took out their notebooks and prepared to record.
The car door was pushed open, and Du Dian got out of the car with an umbrella, stepped on the muddy path, and entered the castle.
When several newspaper reporters saw that the face of this person was Du Dian, who had been missing for a long time, their eyes widened in disbelief. They didn't expect that this person who was on the cusp of the storm would appear at this moment! Several people ran over in a hurry, bent down and hid in front of the castle, ignoring the rain splashing on their hair and suit shoulders, holding the notebook and nodding to Du Dian.
"Mr. Du, you..."
"Master Du, we are Jane..."
Several people gathered in front of Du Dian, scrambling to ask, one of them grabbed the most suitable position, and said to Du Dian: "Mr. Du, did you go to negotiate with the savage secretly during the few days you were missing? You cooperated with the savage What is the purpose, is it for money, or for power? I heard that you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was dragged away by a person behind.
"What are you doing, you..."
"I'll be there first, may I ask Mr. Du..." Before he could finish speaking, another person pushed him away.
Du Dian saw a few people scrambling for land, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, it's raining outside, come in with me and talk."
After hearing this, several people stopped tearing.
Noyce, who was waiting at the door, saw Du Dian, widened his eyes, rushed to the edge of the door in surprise, and said, "Master, you are finally back!"
Hearing his words, Flynn, Kruen, Sandro, Jike and the others in the hall were all shocked and rushed to the door one after another.
Du Dian stepped up the steps, put away the umbrella, and said, "Go in and talk about it." Shake the water on the umbrella and hand it to Noyce.
"You're back." Fulin just stood up, and before he arrived at the door, he saw Du Dian coming in surrounded by the crowd, with a hint of joy on his old face, and said: "Why don't you send a message, so I can send someone to pick it up you."
Du Dian smiled and said: "I said, I just went to study new magic arts, and when there are results, I will come back naturally. There is nothing to pick up."
Fulin was slightly startled, but immediately understood, and said with a smile, "It's raining heavily outside, don't catch a cold, Xiaolan, go and pour a cup of hot tea for Mr. Du."
"Yes." The middle-aged maid promised.
Du Dian entered the hall, looked around, and suddenly saw that all the Ryan family appeared in his castle, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said to Fulin: "Master, let them go upstairs first, these newspapers My friends want to interview me, so as not to be disturbed, Lao Jin, give them towels and chairs, and don’t let them catch a cold and get sick.”
"Yes." Noyce nodded.
Flynn said to Sandro: "Let the children rest on it, don't make trouble here."
"Yes." Sandro turned to everyone in the hall and said, "Everyone go upstairs to rest, hurry up."
Jike glanced at Du Dian secretly, turned around and waved to his wife and children, and went upstairs first, followed by the rest of the people, and the hall was empty in a blink of an eye.
"Here." Noyce handed over the hot towels and chairs to the five newspaper staff.
The five people took it in surprise and thanked them repeatedly. They did not expect that they could get such treatment in such an identity. Before Du Dian came back, they were prevented from entering the castle to avoid the rain, but now they are treated like guests.
Du Dian sat down at the upper table in the hall, took two sips of hot tea made by the middle-aged maid, cast a reassuring look at Fulin, and then said to the five newspaper reporters: "Everyone has worked hard, whoever wants to interview, one Just one question, I have limited time, I will give you half an hour, six minutes each, no need to fight, who will come first now?"
When the five heard Du Dian's words, they said in succession, "Mr. Du is polite."
"Let me go first." One of the square-faced middle-aged men opened the notebook and said to Du Dian: "Mr. Du, why have you been missing for so long? I heard from you just now that you are going to study a new magic. Really?"
Du Dian smiled slightly, "Of course it's true, I guarantee with the belief of the God of Light, I never lie."
"With all due respect, it has been reported in the military newspaper that the savages captured by the military confessed to you..."
"If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?" Du Di'an was full of righteousness.
The square-faced middle-aged man was stunned by his imposing manner, and after realizing it, he continued: "But, this is a matter of conclusive evidence, Mr. Du, what evidence do you have to prove that you have been studying new magic arts during this period of time? "
"Of course, my new magic has been produced and handed over to the temple. I believe there will be results soon."
"Already made it?" The square-faced middle-aged man was astonished, "So fast? Didn't you just make the lightning rod magic last time, and it took only about ten days to make a new magic?"
Du Dian said: "If it weren't for the noise in the newspapers these days, which disturbed me a bit, the new magic spell would be born sooner. This new magic spell is a magic spell that was conceived a long time ago, so it was made soon."
"Is that so..." The square-faced middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly, a little dazed, and suddenly didn't know what to ask.
After a while, the middle-aged man with a square face adjusted his thoughts and asked: "Mr. Du, even if you have produced a new magic technique, it does not prove that you have been researching new magic techniques all this time. I heard that you have colluded with the savages. You want to gain power and take revenge on the Mellon Consortium, is that right?"
"Before answering your question, I need to correct you. I did not collude with the savages, and I don't need to collude with the savages. My wealth is too much to spend."
"Mr. Du..."
"Sorry, your time is up."
"Next person."
"Hi Mr. Du, I'm a reporter from Jianyue Zaobao. I just heard about your new magical arts. I heard that every time your new magical arts are published, they will be snapped up by major consortia. The pre-sale prices are extremely astonishing, if someone buys your new magic this time, what price will you give?"
"The price of legendary items, this is the lowest price, thank you."
"The price of legendary items? Here, Mr. Du, did I hear you right?" The man was a little stunned.
Flynn and several other people from the newspaper office were also dumbfounded, looking at Du Dian in astonishment, suspecting that he made a slip of the tongue. But soon, several people from the newspaper office put away their surprise. When they wrote the news, they usually exaggerated their words to create gimmicks. It is hard to guarantee that Du Dian's move would not be a gimmick to disrupt the news that was not good for him. Thinking of this, several people feel that this possibility is extremely possible.
half an hour later.
Du Dian ordered Noyce to give umbrellas to the five newspaper people and send them away.
After the five people left, Du Dian turned his head to Fulin and said: "It surprised you, I have read the newspapers, although the Xinshi Consortium is currently facing debt bankruptcy, but now during the war, the procedure for filing for bankruptcy will be delayed for a period of time, the lightning rod The money from the sale of magic arts will fill this hole, and if we lose money, they will return it a thousandfold!"
He had read the newspapers in the hotel for the past few days before, and the situation was similar to what he expected. The only thing he didn't expect was that the Xinshi Consortium would go bankrupt and the Ryan family would owe huge debts, but thinking of Mellon The method of the consortium is not uncommon.
Hearing what he said, Fulin felt a little more at ease in his heart, and worried: "Is it really possible? You came back too late. At present, the Mellon Consortium is dominant, and your reputation among the people has fallen to the bottom. Especially after it was published in the military newspaper today, all previous doubts have turned into one-sided accusations, you have already aroused public anger, if it weren't for the heavy rain, many people would probably come to knock on the door at this moment."
Du Dian smiled slightly and said: "So, I have to thank the rain."
"Yeah." Fulin sighed, and said with a wry smile, "It's about this time, thanks to you, you can still laugh."
Du Dian smiled and said: "The enemy is crazy, why don't I laugh? As for public anger, you don't have to worry about this. Since ancient times, for thousands of years, civilians have been fools. What they see is what we let them see. They think it's good. , We boasted, what they hated, we criticized, how much they hate me now, how much they will love me then!"
Flynn was stunned, silent for a moment, and said: "But the overall situation is now in the hands of the Mellon Consortium, although with your identity and the value you have created, you can contact the Scott Consortium and the Huasheng Consortium and let them use their own The newspapers of the newspapers help you clean up, but the newspapers of the military department have completely blackened you, what you say now is useless, but sophistry, no one will believe it."
"So I won't say anything." Du Dian said: "Black or white, let the world judge, I just do my job well."
Fulin was slightly startled, glanced at him, and said, "You mean magic?"
Du Dian smiled and said nothing.
After the rain outside was a little less, Du Dian ordered Noyce: "Old Jin, go and bring Kaqi and Guinness back."
"Yes." Noyce nodded.
An hour later, Kaqi and Guinness returned to the castle, along with Gabriel and Hecate.
Du Dian asked Kruen to arrange a room for their two brothers and sisters, let them go to rest first, then called Kaqi and Guinness, and said: "You two go to the wall of gold, survey the current war situation, and report back at any time."
Hearing this, Kaqi, Guinness, Flynn, Sandro and others were all taken aback.
"War? Could it be that the savages attacked the Golden Wall?" Sandro said in amazement, "How is that possible? Why would the savages choose to attack today under such heavy rain? This..."
Fulin hurriedly said to Du Dian: "Are you sure?"
"Hmm." Du Dian nodded.
"Oops! If the savages attack, we won't be able to explain it. During this period of time, newspapers, people must be most concerned about the situation of the war. No matter what we say, no one reads it, and no one asks about it. , and there are no newspapers that will report our affairs at this time, which will arouse public indignation! When the battle is over, no matter whether the savages win or lose, we are all finished. When the dust settles, there will be no explanation Use it!!" Fulin's face was ugly, and when he talked about excitement, he couldn't help coughing violently.
Seeing this, Du Dian got up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, old man, I'm here for everything."
Flynn coughed and blushed, turned to look at him, and said, "Dean, you must seize the opportunity, our time is running out!"
Seeing Flynn's appearance, Kaqi shrugged and said, "Old man, why are you panicking? Who knows if the savages will attack or not. I have been following the young master, and I have never seen a frontline battlefield. Maybe the young master guessed wrong."
Fulin was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Du Dian.
Du Dian said: "The war has just started, and the military department should have no time to deliver the news. It will be seen in the military newspaper until tomorrow. I hope they can survive today, otherwise everything will be useless."
"How did you know the wildlings were going to attack?" Flynn asked.
"It's raining. The savages have lived in the radiation area for a long time. They are not afraid of the rain and have strong resistance. But our soldiers are different. Even if they are strong soldiers, once they are wet by the rain, they don't take a bath and sleep in time." If you keep warm, you will get seriously ill, not to mention fighting in the rain, even if you don’t die, you will definitely get seriously ill! If the savages can break through the King’s Fortress, they probably have already aimed at the Red Maple Mountains not far behind the King’s Fortress. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be seen that the savages have been planning this war for a long time, and there must be extremely smart military staff, if I were the military staff of the savages, I would also propose to fight at this moment!"
Du Dian didn't want to explain, but seeing that Fulin was so concerned about this matter, he still said it: "Fighting in this disaster rain is beneficial to the savages. If they are smarter, they may not choose to launch a general attack, but will consume! Every time a war of attrition is waged, the savages certainly suffer losses, but the soldiers participating in the war will inevitably suffer serious illness after the battle is over, making it difficult for them to engage in new battles! If there are three see-saw wars of attrition, the military headquarters will have to be replaced. The three batches of soldiers, those soldiers who are seriously ill, are no different from dead, and after the wildlings win, they are just a pile of straw targets."
Flynn froze.
Kaqi, Guinness, Kruen and others were also stunned.
Du Dian glanced at a few people and didn't continue talking. In fact, he knew that the savages would definitely attack in the heavy rain, and there was another very important reason, which was gunpowder!
When he just escaped from prison, he discovered that gunpowder is one of the forbidden techniques of the Dark Church, which made him very strange. The Dark Church is an evil organization including potionists who make poisons and alchemists who experiment with human bodies. To fight against the Holy See of Light, how can you give up gunpowder, which is so terrible and lethal
If the amount of gunpowder is enough, it can completely level the headquarters of the Holy See of Light!
Such a murderous weapon is listed as a forbidden technique. It is conceivable that there must be deep reasons and inside stories behind this! Although I don't know the reason, Du Dian can at least know one thing, that is, the Dark Holy See is very helpless! If there is a way in the entire giant wall to force the Dark Holy See not to use the power of gunpowder, then there is no doubt that only the military department!
But if the military knows the existence of gunpowder, I believe there is absolutely no reason not to be tempted. This is a sharp weapon for countries to unify the world in the old days!
Therefore, if the army has gunpowder, it is extremely unfavorable for the army to attack on a rainy day, and the effect of gunpowder will be greatly suppressed!
