As we all know, the speed of infection and transformation of the oil is not fixed, but can be fast or slow depending on the changes in the target and environment.
Generally speaking, for worlds with balanced and abundant five-color mana or powerful gods, the infection rate tends to be relatively slow, and there is a possibility of being completely eliminated.
In very few worlds, something will be produced that has a restraining effect on Shuo Oil.
The most typical example is the plane of Dominarnia, which was invaded several times by Old Phyrexia but remained safe in the end;
There is also the Kaldheim dimension, which has a background similar to Norse mythology.
The former relies on the abundance and balance of mana, coupled with the legacy of two ancient magic civilizations, which makes it impossible for the sparkling oil to easily corrode the core of the world.
The latter possesses the world tree and gods that can be connected to the dark void.
In particular, the God of the World Tree, Eshika, can create a liquid called Cosmic Nectar, which can make all creatures that have used it temporarily immune to the effects of the Shocking Oil.
Of course, in addition to the cosmic nectar, there are many specialties from time and space in this universe that can fight against the sparkling oil.
For example, Capena's “Golden Circle” is a special energy extracted from the bodies of angels in that world.
There are also some creatures shaped by powerful forces that can even drink the oil as a beverage without any problems.
In short, there are many factors that determine the speed of oil infection.
But generally speaking, metal, machinery and undead creatures are the most susceptible to infection.
This is also the reason why the Mirrodin plane fell completely in such a short period of time.
In comparison, it is more difficult to infect and transform those creatures that have flesh and blood and whose bodies are filled with amazing green natural energy.
There is no doubt that the floating city of Mutahal is almost entirely populated by undead creatures and constructs, making it an ideal target for infection.
So it didn't take long before the interior of the huge city base was filled with proliferating black shiny oil.
As for those undead creatures, they were covered with thick and solid metal shells during the transformation process.
Some have also grown high-tech prosthetics such as electronic eyes, multifunctional mechanical arms, sharp blade tentacles that can cut people into pieces, and metal tails that can release high-voltage currents.
The magic heavy artillery and electromagnetic cannon have grown lower limbs that can move at will, and can be quickly moved to any corner of the floating city as needed.
The most important thing is that all the beauties collected in the diary have now undergone a series of transformations, presenting a cyberpunk flavor.
Especially for many vampires, their bodies have been covered, transformed, and strengthened with metal materials to varying degrees.
Although this did not weaken their strength, it greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness.
But those weird mechanical limbs, organs and special structures are enough to make people feel creepy.
Countless strategic materials stored in warehouses and garbage and waste that were ready to be thrown away have now been reused by Shuoyou, creating tens of thousands of non-human constructs out of thin air.
Some of them are small robots as flexible as insects and octopuses, while others are bionic flapping-wing robots that look like dragonflies and are used for reconnaissance and communication.
In addition, there are many super-large and even super-giant creations.
The Skeleton Warriors and Grave Knights, who are the main force of the army, are now all wearing heavy armor that can withstand the impact of crossbows, and the outside of their bones is filled with complex metal support and linkage structures.
With the power provided by the oil engine, they are now a highly efficient killing machine.
Countless pipelines extend from the high towers covered with broken magic crystals, storing the energy collected every day into the huge rock base under the city.
What's even more terrifying is that the rock on the base below is crystallizing at an unimaginable speed, taking on a structure similar to that of a magic crystal tower.
It goes without saying that Shuoyou is transforming the entire floating city into an enlarged version of the artifact - Crenshinibon, which is also an extremely terrifying super energy storage device.
At this moment, the floating city of Mutahar is like a black hole with infinite gravity, absorbing all the sunlight from the sky and forming a visual effect similar to an "accretion disk".
The sea surface for hundreds of kilometers below presented a dark doomsday scene.
Obviously, when the light from the sun fell on this planet, all the energy that entered this range was captured and absorbed by the floating city, so it became what it is now.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the location where the Mutahar floating city was docked was far away from the land and areas where human civilization was active, so it did not cause any panic.
It's just that the temperature of the sea surface is dropping rapidly because of the lack of sunlight.
If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably form an ultra-low temperature frozen area, which will have a certain impact on the environment and climate of the entire world.
The high-level undead who were gathering in the polar region and controlling several other floating cities were the first to notice the abnormality here and immediately sent people over to figure out the situation.
But before they could get close, they were instantly killed by the terrifying firepower network, and even their bodies and bones were blown into fragments and dust.
To be precise, they only saw through remote observation magic that the strange magic crystal towers in the floating city of Mutahar suddenly burst into a light that was ten thousand times more dazzling than the sun.
Then everything in sight turned white and nothing could be seen clearly.
When the light disappeared, all the undead creatures turned into tiny particles that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye and drifted away with the wind.
As for what kind of magic or weapons the other party used, I have no idea.
Remember that the unknown is the source of all fear!
When they realized that the enemy possessed some terrifying power that could easily destroy them, these undead creatures immediately used heavy ice blocks to lock themselves under the huge polar ice surface, completely isolating themselves from all contact with the outside world and even giving up the advantage of the several floating cities that could fly.
It's nothing, I was just simply scared.
However, they did not know that in fact all this was just the self-defense system of the Mutahar floating city being activated when it detected an approaching threat, that was all.
As for the supreme ruler of the core of the floating city, the Diary, who had just woken up, was standing in front of the mirror in the hall of the central tower, staring at his current image in amazement, with his mouth wide open and unable to utter a word for a long time.
The reason is simple! His wish to regain his manliness was fulfilled, but the result was a little different from what he expected.
Because functionally speaking, this guy was indeed given the ability to reproduce by Shuoyou.
But the problem is that this tool is now thirty meters long, and each of its split tentacle is as thick as an arm. When combined together, they are thicker than the waist circumference of an adult man weighing over 200 kilograms.
What's even more terrible is that the triangular metal scales covering the tentacles are extremely sharp.
Even if you stab someone in the body, it will tear them to pieces from the inside.
Of course, the transformation is not limited to the lower body.
The upper body and other parts also show very obvious alienation.
But the diary couldn't care about anything else at this moment. It could only stare at the sharp tentacles with tears in its eyes, grumbling with gritted teeth: "Fuck! Although I prefer watching movies about tentacle monsters and beautiful girls, the problem is that I don't want to become a tentacle monster!
And this tentacle is so dangerous, how can I play with it in the future? Do I have to get some mechanical beauties made entirely of metal?
The most important thing is how to wear pants after this?"
Unfortunately, no one could answer the questions he raised.
Including those vampire beauties who had been completely transformed, they were all watching this scene with slightly terrified eyes, fearing that they would become the first victims and be directly pierced and dismembered by the sharp sword.
Just when the diary was starting to get a little crazy and was considering whether to cut it off or try to modify it, Zuo Si, who was waiting to see the joke, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said with a playful expression on his face: "Hey! Big stud, what's wrong with you? Did you use too much force?"
"Damn it! Stop making sarcastic remarks! Help me find a solution! What the hell is going on?"
The diary rolled its eyes crazily and waved its tentacles to destroy everything around it to vent its inner frustration.
"It's very simple! This new type of oil is made from divine power and divine blood.
When the target is being transformed, it will be affected to a certain extent by the target's own spirit and will.
In other words, your mind was full of obscene thoughts and primitive desires at the time, which caused the oil to greatly strengthen the part of your body that you desired most.
So this is all your own fault.
How about it, are you surprised or not?"
Since there were no outsiders present, Zuo Si did not leave any face for the diary, and every word contained strong irony.
Obviously, when he handed the oil to the other party, he had already roughly predicted the result, but he deliberately did not say it out loud.
As a carrier of the original memory and some of its thoughts, the diary keenly sensed the undisguised gloating in its owner's eyes, and immediately put on a dead pig-like attitude and asked back: "So what do you say we should do now?
Don't tell me you were just going to watch me wander around.
Anyway, I have no shame and don't care about anything. The worst that can happen is that I will just die socially.
As long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
"But you are different..."
What a fellow! Zuo Si exclaimed, What a fellow!
He originally came here just to laugh at the joke, but he never expected that the diary could actually turn around and threaten him.
This is a living example of what it means that a tree without bark is doomed to die and a person without bark is invincible.
However, the diary obviously knows that threats and intimidation alone are not enough to deal with its owner.
After making a lot of nonsense, he immediately came close to me, forced out a flattering smile and begged, "Please help me, brother, because I will never betray you! I promise that as long as this problem is solved, no matter what you ask me to do in the future, I will definitely not hesitate and will give 100% of my effort."
"Remember what you said today. Here, take it."
Zuo Si threw over a circular device that he had prepared in advance.
The diary hurriedly caught it steadily, and when he was trying to figure out how to use it, a sharp rotating blade suddenly popped out from the side, and cut off the roots of several tentacles at lightning speed, and absorbed the broken tentacles in at an extremely fast speed, eventually turning it into a weapon that could be controlled by the owner.
As a guy who has long been dehumanized, Diary has obviously thrown all the things like propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame behind him, and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.
Immediately pounced on the female vampires who had undergone complete transformation.
Before long, an X-rated drama was staged in the lobby of the central tower of the entire floating city.
Needless to say, this oil transformation tool was made overnight by Jinji Tasha, the blue magic judge of the Mirrodin time and space.
As a cutting-edge scientific research talent, since embracing Xinshuo Oil and joining Zuo Si, he has been like a fish in water, living in endless surprises every day.
With the influx of knowledge, technology, and magic from other worlds, creative inspiration has never stopped.
They even successfully created a swarm of gathering bees based on the structure of the light moth, a native creature of the Mirrodin time and space.
These new Phyrexian creations can create a special liquid energy by absorbing the energy emitted by the five-color mana sun like the light moth.
And this liquid energy, with just a little bit of alchemy processing, can be transformed into an extremely terrifying strengthening potion.
No matter who it is, as long as they drink the potion, they can immediately gain superhuman speed, strength, reaction and vision for a short period of time.
It felt as if the time around me suddenly slowed down.
The stronger your original physical fitness, the stronger this all-round improvement effect will be.
This potion not only works on living creatures, but also allows undead and constructs to gain the same power.
Once the energy is exhausted, everything will return to normal in an instant.
Because of its widespread use and lack of any side effects, this thing was widely used during Monarch's rule over Mirrodin.
It's just that at that time, the people of Mirrodin relied on catching light moths to extract energy.
Now, Jinjitaxia harvest can a large amount every day thanks to its huge colony of collecting bees, and it is also developing new potions based on the effects produced by different proportions of mana.
For him, who possesses the most powerful technical capabilities, making a small device to solve hidden dangers is not a problem at all.
If necessary, this guy can even disassemble and transform a fully-developed New Phyrexian creature into a state where the creature itself can't even recognize it.
Seeing that the problem had been satisfactorily solved, Zuo Si was obviously not interested in messing around with the diary.
After leaving him the order to cooperate with Shane VII to transfer the players to another world and establish a psychic conduction system and a corresponding casting environment in that world, he directly cast a teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
…
At the same time, far away in another world, Shane VII opened the box of the Traceless Stretching Spell and released a total of one thousand elite players with the highest professional level, the strongest combat power.
Since he is a planeswalker himself, and there are links to the land cards of the floating city of Plantia and the continent of Faerun, as long as these players do not walk out of the influence of the land cards, they can act normally and use their magical abilities.
Feeling the unfamiliar environment around them and the rich magical energy in the air, many people showed an eager expression.
However, the discipline and obedience they had developed over a long period of time prevented them from acting rashly. Instead, they turned their attention to Shane VII, a high-level NPC who was suspected to have appeared recently, and waited for the other party to make detailed explanations.
Some players even think that this should be a closed beta test for a new version of the expansion pack.
So everyone seemed very excited, thrilled and full of anticipation.
You have to know that in the previous world, they experienced firsthand what almost unlimited freedom meant, and they could basically do whatever they wanted.
As long as you don't violate the laws and rules set by the floating city, there is no problem even if you kill the leader of the faction, start a harem, plunder resources crazily, or directly change the course of history through technology.
Especially the feeling of pulling down those kings and nobles who were originally high and mighty and replacing them is simply awesome.
Some crazier guys even awakened the Minotaur attributes, and particularly liked to have sex with the wives, lovers, sisters, daughters, and even mothers of certain defeated male nobles in front of them.
Then, you can enjoy the other person's helpless and furious look and gain some twisted sense of satisfaction.
Although it cannot be said that there are no kind-hearted people among these players, the proportion is definitely not high.
Therefore, they are very eager to continue this unscrupulous style of doing whatever they want in the new world.
Others are trying to collect as much intelligence and make plans as possible before other players are allowed to enter this world in large numbers, so as to gain as much benefit as possible.
After all, just look at the luxurious equipment on these elite players and you will know what they have done to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
It is different from when you first entered, when even +1 magic weapons and equipment were considered rare items.
Nowadays, almost everyone has two or three pieces of +2 magic equipment, and some people even spend a lot of money to buy +3 ones.
As for amulets, belts, cloaks, boots, rings, gloves and wristbands, they all have magical effects.
Consumables that were originally unaffordable, such as potions, magic scrolls, magic wands, bottles of strong acid, and flaming glue, were all brought in without exception.
Among them, as the representative of the first echelon, the archbishop Jack, who has a face like an ancient god, is now a priest at level 17. Even in the continent of Faerun, he can be regarded as a well-known figure.
Of course, this is all thanks to his original armed missionary model and his achievements in almost uprooting the belief in the Seven Gods and the Old Gods in Westeros, converting tens of thousands of people to the Phoenix God - Bennu.
Converted into the game level of the Old Bone Tree World, it is around fifty-nine to sixty.
Although other elite players did not improve as fast as Jack, they were above generally LV14, which was equivalent to above level 49 to 50 in the Tree World game.
In this world, being able to reach level 30 is called the "hero realm", a threshold that only a very small number of geniuses can reach.
Therefore, these 1,000 elite players were a terrifying force that could destroy several countries! Not to mention the locals, even the low-level NPCs in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the Pleiades battle maids wouldn't be able to get out alive.
Looking at this group of fully armed and high-spirited players, Sean VII showed a very satisfied expression on his face, and said in a slightly low voice: "I know you must be wondering why the floating city suddenly interrupted your adventure in another world, right?"
"Yes, it is quite strange. Can you explain it?"
A female player nodded in agreement.
"sure.
In fact, the reason why we suddenly called you together is that we have discovered an interesting world that requires a group of smart, professional and elite teams to investigate and explore it.
After saying that, Shane VII sent a signal to the main brain.
moment!
Almost all the players present squatted down with their hands on their foreheads, a trace of pain appeared on their faces, and they were obviously digesting the information that was suddenly instilled in them.
But there was only one person who was unmoved! That was Jack, who only had five intelligence points and could not learn any language at all, let alone receive any information from the main brain.
However, this burly combat priest was not panicked at all. Instead, he took out a handful of dried fruits and threw them one by one into the gap near the mouth of the fully enclosed helmet, then chewed them with a crunching sound.
Because he knew that the few chosen brothers around him would take care of everything, and he only needed to swing the hammer and smash the heads of all the enemies.
After about a few minutes, the players digested all the information and immediately began to discuss excitedly.
"What the hell! A virtual game? Traveling through time? Earthlings from the future world? What the hell is this plot?"
"Exciting! So exciting! So we're going to fight with our fellow countrymen from a parallel Earth this time?"
"I don't understand. Is this BOSS considered an NPC, or a player like us?"
"I don't know. But I think the dangers in this world must be many times stronger than the previous world."
"But the rewards are certainly huge. Don't forget that this is a high-magic world, and PVP may be involved."
"Hey! So what are we waiting for? Let's start exploring this world."
…
All of a sudden, all the elite players present became extremely excited, and couldn't wait to give the world a little shock of the "Fourth Disaster".
Upon seeing this, Sean VII immediately raised his arm to show a calm gesture, and then said with a smile: "Since the protagonist has not arrived yet, I will give you some time to strengthen yourselves in advance.
But be careful not to exceed the boundaries on the map.
In addition, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the indigenous people of this world, you need to disperse your actions temporarily, and it is best that a team of no more than twenty people does not exceed.
Remember, once you see your target, don't rush to take action.
After all, the other side has a powerful logistics base, so the floating city of Plantia will also participate in the battle this time.
I will personally formulate the battle plan to ensure that I can inflict devastating damage on the opponent in an instant."
As he said this, a terrifying light flashed in Shane VII's eyes, and his whole body exuded the majesty and aura of the Emperor of the Shane Empire.
"The floating city will also join the battle? Hahahaha! This time we're finally going to have a big fight!"
A player who witnessed the spectacular sight of a behemoth-class electromagnetic cannon delivering a shell as big as a building to the battlefield could not help but burst into laughter and felt a little sympathy for the enemy.
In his opinion, with the insane firepower of the Floating City of Plantia, no matter what is hidden in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, it will definitely be blown to pieces.
Soon, following an order from King Shane VII, these players with various different moods quickly dispersed on the spot, and headed towards several nearby villages and towns in groups of three or five according to the coordinates given on the map.
Their purpose is very simple, which is to first find out the situation from the local natives, and then decide whether to become a soldier and kill on the battlefield to gain experience points and commissions, or become an adventurer and kill monsters in dangerous forests and wilderness to obtain these things.
Watching the group of players gradually disappearing into the dense forest, Sean VII couldn't help but let out a playful smile, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Now that the seeds have been sown, all that remains is to let them grow wildly and see what kind of fruit they will eventually bear. As for me, I'd better go and see how much interesting magic there is in this world."
As the last word came out of his mouth, he disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then appeared in an unknown alley in the kingdom's capital - Li Yestije.
There is no doubt that the powerful demilich's target is the headquarters of the Mages Guild standing in the central area of the city.
Although Shane VII did not believe that a group of guys who had difficulty casting fourth-ring or even fifth-ring arcane magic according to the level of the continent of Faerun could research and create any powerful spells.
But for a wizard of his level, any inspiration and new ideas are extremely precious.
So what matters is not the magic itself, but the ideas and concepts behind the magic.
However, before the half-lich could walk out of the dark alley, he saw a tightly closed door next to it suddenly opened, and then a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a big belly was dragged out by two men very roughly by her hair.
She was obviously very frightened and kept crying, struggling and begging, as if she already knew the end she was about to face.
But the two men, whose bodies were covered with wounds and scars, were obviously not the kind of men who would show mercy to women. They pulled out their sharp daggers and intended to kill the girl in one swoop, then dismembered the body and threw it into the trash can.
In extreme despair, the unknown young pregnant woman could only look at the only outsider in the alley, as if praying that this stranger could be the hero who saved her.
Of course, she knew that these two men and the "Eight Finger" organization behind them were not easy to mess with and might bring fatal disasters to others, so she did not shout, but simply hoped that this was a strong man who could ignore the threats from the other side.
If it were any other time, given how cold-blooded and evil Shane VII was, he would definitely not care about the life or death of a young pregnant woman.
But now, he just happened to plan to settle here temporarily for a while, so he needed a local guide to lead him and handle some more complicated daily affairs.
Just as the two men were about to slit the girl's throat with a sneer, watching her die in agony and helplessness, an extremely terrifying force descended from the sky.
The next second...
The souls of these two poor creatures were forcibly torn from their bodies, and were instantly captured by the demilich and absorbed into the soul gems.
However, since the process was too fast and ordinary people could not necessarily see the soul, the pregnant girl only saw the two men who wanted to kill her suddenly fall to the ground with a thud, and then their bodies began to disintegrate, rot, and stink at an incredible speed until they completely turned into dust.
As an ordinary person, she had never seen such a scene before. She was immediately frightened and stepped back against the wall, screaming shrilly: "Ah ...
But unfortunately, the people inside the building thought that this was the girl's cry before her death, so they didn't pay attention to it, and no one came out to check the situation.
After a few seconds to figure out the situation, she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Sean VII who had stopped with a look of fear and gratitude. After about a minute or two, she mustered up the courage to cautiously ask, "Did...did you save me?"
"Who else could it be?"
Shane VII asked back expressionlessly.
The girl swallowed nervously and continued to ask, "Why did you do this? And how did you kill those two thugs?"
"The reason I saved you was that I just needed a local guide, and the reason I killed those two idiots was because I used the power of magic."
As he spoke, Shane VII raised his hand and released a ball of negative energy that exuded a cold aura.
"So... you are a powerful magic caster?"
After seeing the magical energy, the girl's eyes were instantly filled with awe.
Because in this world, both magic and martial arts mean powerful supernatural powers.
Especially a magic that can kill two obviously strong fighters in an instant and silently. It is definitely not possible that it was cast by a novice who has just entered this field.
“Haha, you have too many questions, kid.
Sometimes knowing too much does not necessarily mean a good thing, it also means facing huge risks, so I suggest you restrain your curiosity and just perform your duties.
After all, I saved you, so this means your life now belongs to me.
With this money, hire or buy a carriage for me immediately, and buy yourself a suitable set of clothes.
Our first stop is the Mages Guild Headquarters."
Shane VII directly took out a bag of gold coins from this world and threw it at the girl's feet, not giving her any chance to refuse.
Of course, the pregnant girl didn't dare to refuse.
Because she saw with her own eyes how the two thugs who wanted to kill her died, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, pick up the heavy purse, and automatically put herself into the role of a maid.
In addition to the naked threat of death, another reason why she was willing to obey Shane VII's orders was that she longed for his protection to prevent the killers from the "Eight Fingers" organization from coming to her.
In addition, Shane VII's innate temperament of a superior, as well as his tone and demeanor when giving orders, made the girl feel that this middle-aged man who looked so majestic must be someone extraordinary, perhaps a great noble of the kingdom.
If that's the case, being able to be his maid would be something to be thankful for.
In this way, the girl who was controlled by a criminal organization and forced to sell her body, which led to her pregnancy, semi-voluntarily became a servant of the terrifying half-lich.
She had no idea what a horrific monster her master was, who could even bring bloodshed and death to the world by himself.
However, unlike some psychopaths who have completely lost their humanity and commit genocide at every turn, although Shane VII is evil, he is very calm and rational, and has never had a record of committing massacres.
The biggest blow to civilians was when he fought with Ivyklathagra "Sharp Teeth" over the city a thousand years ago, killing nearly 75,000 slaves on the spot.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that more than 80% of the deaths of these slaves were due to Sharptooth.
After all, the dragon's breath and crushing are both known to have a large range, and are most likely to cause large-scale accidental injuries.
Just as Shane VII arrived at the headquarters of the Mages Guild led by the pregnant girl and began to buy all kinds of magic scrolls, Balagos "Flying Flame", which had disappeared for a long time in the south of the west coast of Faerun, finally returned to people's sight again.
However, this time it was not because of attacks on towns, caravans or setting fires everywhere, but the killing of more than a dozen monster tribes that posed a huge threat to the safety of rural roads, even including two druid sects that had a record of killing civilians.
If it was just pure killing, it wouldn't be enough to make people feel strange.
You have to know that Balagos "Flying Flame" was originally a giant dragon that was keen on killing and destruction. The number of monsters that died at his hands was far more than that of humans.
What really amazed people was that all these monsters and druids that were destroyed had one thing in common, which was that they attacked people who had purchased the "revenge service."
This is something that has only recently become popular within the West Coast Empire.
The content is very simple. As long as you pay a certain amount of money every month, after you or your family suffer an inexplicable attack, a mysterious force will take action to launch revenge on the enemy on your behalf.
Although at the beginning, most people suspected that this contract was made by a scammer.
But after some traveling merchants on country roads bought it with the attitude of giving it a try, they found that it was actually very useful, and all the opponents dispatched were giant dragons, so their business immediately became extremely popular.
After all, it only costs a small amount of money to hire a dragon to avenge oneself, something that was unthinkable before.
The most important thing is that this revenge service itself is a huge deterrent, which will make enemies and even monsters hidden in the dark dare not act rashly, otherwise they may be attacked by the dragon and killed without leaving any trace.
Similarly, revenge services also greatly alleviate various unfair competitions, such as hiring killers, bribing monster tribes to ambush competitors' convoys, harassing their industries, and so on.
Since everyone bought the revenge service, a terrifying constraint was formed between them.
Obviously, just by listening to the name, you can tell that this thing must have been made by Wilmes.
To be precise, she has made a lot of money with this trick, and she has also come up with a performance appraisal system, letting other evil dragons under her be responsible for settling everything, while she lies comfortably in her nest and counts money until her hands cramp.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy is operating legally and paying taxes according to regulations. There is absolutely no fault to be found with him.
At this moment, this red dragon of purgatory was lying in its own nest, dividing the spoils with several other relatively younger colorful dragons.
In front of her were two boxes of gold and silver coins that had just been delivered by human men.
Without saying a word, Wilmes took one of the boxes for himself, then poured out the other box and distributed the money to several of his capable men one by one.
Although the process was very painful for her, she endured it because she thought it was for the purpose of making more money.
After the full box of gold and silver coins was distributed, Wilmes dragged his chin with his front paws and said, "Compared with last month, this month's performance increased by 30%, most of which was near Kalinshan and Steam Lake.
Tethyr and Amn saw growth of less than 20 percent.
Those in charge of this area should take note.
If the growth is still so slow or even negative next month, I will start deducting your share.
Remember, only by actively expanding the market at all costs can our business become bigger and stronger.
Imagine that the southern region of the west coast alone can bring us so much revenue. What if we expand our business to the entire continent of Faerun?
Within a hundred years, the wealth we possess will make those ancient dragons that have lived for thousands of years envious and jealous.
Another thing is to open your mind and think more about how to develop more paid services.
If there is any foolish man who dares to rob within our business scope, we must unite and kill him immediately.
How many times have I said this!
Protect merchants, villages and towns!
Only as these mortals grow richer, and the towns and villages grow richer, can we make more money from them.
If possible, it is best to try to sign agreements with those villages and towns.
They can pay much more than one or two merchants.”
"Understood! Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will actively expand our business. If anyone dares to cause trouble in our territory, I will be the first one to not let him off."
A young green dragon who had just joined pocketed his share of the money, raised his head and made a solemn promise.
Not only him, but the other dragons present also quietly desperately want to show their loyalty, which was quite like a modern company holding an annual meeting and distributing year-end dividends.
After all, they have already tasted the sweetness of it. As long as Wilmes can restrain his greed and not keep it all to himself, this model will continue to spread around like a viral pyramid scheme.
Looking at these young people who were manipulated by him and became "workers", Wilmes instantly felt a sense of superiority that his IQ crushed them. At the same time, he also understood why Zuo Si always revealed that uncomfortable look every time he looked at him.
At this moment, she was also scanning her "salesman" with the same look, and waved her hand with a majestic but slightly arrogant gesture, indicating that the other party could go away.
Without saying a word, the young dragon immediately took his group and returned to the nest happily.
In particular, the red dragons and blue dragons in charge of the Amn and Tethyr regions were thinking about how to quickly expand their business. To this end, they specially invited some smart humans, elves, and half-elves to form a think tank and set up offices in various towns.
After all these guys flew away, Wilmes yawned lazily and asked without raising his head: "How are the sons of Baal near the Marching Mountains now?"
"They are killing each other with great efficiency, and some of them are powerful enough to make me wary." Balagos lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.
It was not difficult to tell from his respectful attitude that he had gradually begun to get used to submit to the tyranny of the powerful Purgatory Red Dragon in front of him.
There is no way, when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head.
There is a strange object monitoring his brain 24 hours a day, so he doesn't dare to have even the slightest thought of resistance, otherwise he will be discovered in minutes and suffer severe punishment.
"Oh? What about the elves in the Wildas Forest? What is their current situation?" Wilmes continued to ask with interest.
Balagos quickly replied, “After I went around there twice, they began to shrink on a large scale. They must have used the magic barrier to hide themselves.
Even patrols around the trade roads were stopped.
