Yuedu General Headquarters.
As the nominal chief executive of Yuedu, Arthur was very busy every day. Economy, politics, people's livelihood... everything required his decision.
Of course, he can hold on to some ideas, but he can't hold on to some ideas.
But busy for sure.
There were a large number of documents waiting to be signed piled up in front of the desk. Secretaries would come in and out from time to time, carrying large amounts of information piled on the desk.
Fortunately, as a superpower, he has extremely strong energy, otherwise just signing all these various documents would be enough to make him exhausted.
He looked serious, quickly flipped through the documents, and finally signed various opinions. Everything was in order.
Suddenly the door opened and the secretary walked in: "Sir, the Fifth Hatsune wants to see you."
Arthur, who was writing something in a document, looked up in surprise and said, "Fifth Hatsune-sama?"
What was she doing here? Although he was confused, he hurriedly said, "Please come in."
He immediately put the documents on the desk aside.
The Fifth Hatsune was a resident of Yuedu whom he personally invited. Although she was from Daxia, she was not an official member of Daxia, but a member of a non-governmental organization. Such an existence was worthy of his attention.
"OK."
The beautiful secretary general left the office. Not long after, the door was opened again and the beautiful and cold-faced Fifth Hatsune walked in.
"Master Chief Arthur, excuse me."
The fifth Hatsune spoke as soon as she entered the room.
"Hahaha, no, no, the Fifth Lady is here, we are already celebrating the occasion, how can we bother her? Come on, please take a seat."
Arthur laughed, stood up and came over, shook hands politely with the Fifth Hatsune, and after asking the Fifth Hatsune to sit down, he smiled and said, "What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee?"
"No need to bother. I came here to discuss something with the Chief."
"Oh?" Arthur was stunned. Something to discuss? What did the Fifth Hatsune Miku have to discuss with him?
But he didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a cup of tea and chat slowly... The Fifth Lady is Chinese, so she should like to drink tea, right? Ruth, two cups of tea."
"OK."
The secretary general responded with a smile, and quickly brought in two cups of tea. He smiled at the Fifth Hatsune and said, "Ms. Fifth, please enjoy your meal."
The fifth Hatsune nodded and said thank you, and the beautiful secretary general named Ruth smiled and took her leave, closing the door when she left.
After taking a sip of the tea, the Fifth Chuyin smiled and said, "Good tea."
"Do you like it, Madam Fifth? This is 'Turin Tea' produced in the abyss, which contains extraordinary spiritual energy... Of course, the important thing is that the taste is long-lasting and mellow, and the fragrance is pleasant. It is a specialty of your Huaxia city. I still have some here. I will share some with Madam Fifth when we leave."
Arthur also took a sip of tea and chatted briefly before asking curiously, "What does the Fifth Lady want to discuss with me?"
"I want to make a deal with Chief Arthur."
The fifth Hatsune comes straight to the point.
"trade?"
Arthur raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "What deal?"
"Before that, I would like to ask you a question... Chief Inspector Arthur, is he from the Yas Empire?"
The fifth Hatsune asked.
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am from Yas country, does this have anything to do with our deal?"
"Yes. Because to be precise, it is we, Dawn, who want to make a deal with your Yas Empire."
"Dawn made a deal with the Yas Empire?"
This sentence made Aston startled.
It seems that everyone in the world knows what kind of organization Dawn is.
Especially after the last time Daxia cracked down on the evil church.
The evil church is a very serious problem in any country.
Yas Empire, to be honest...
The situation is even more serious.
This is related to the history of the Yas Empire.
In the Middle Ages, Yas had a religious rule that lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, theocracy was almost equal to monarchy. So they called themselves "people of God". Anyone who did not agree with theocracy would be labeled a heretic and then subjected to inhumane massacre and cleansing.
It is precisely because of this that, even though the "divine authority" has only some symbolic meaning until now, in many places in the Yas Empire, it is still regarded as the truth and is believed without a doubt.
In this historical context, it is easy for people in the Yas Empire to have a group of "fanatic believers"... According to research, this is most likely related to genetic factors.
Those who survived to the later period were all descendants of fanatical believers of a certain religion. Therefore, the genes of the vast majority of people in the Yas Empire carry a part of the "fanaticism factor".
In an era without "miracles", a "religion" that was fabricated out of thin air could have such a big impact. So imagine... when a "religion" with "miracles" really appeared, what would it mean to the ordinary people of the Yas Empire? ...It means madness!
The ultimate madness! In fact, the former Yas Empire almost perished because of the evil church.
Their people firmly believe that "the invasion of the abyss is God's will" and "the original sin of mankind is the reason for God's punishment. The invasion of the abyss is God's punishment. Humans should not resist, but should kneel on the ground, chant God's name, and pray for God's forgiveness and mercy" and other arguments...
Such thoughts are prevalent, and all the 'evil churches' created by the invading abyss species are also considered to be 'apostles of God'.
Whether it's the 'End of the World' or the 'Nightblood'; whether it's the 'Iron Blood Rose' or the 'Eye of the Devil'...
They are all considered apostles of God by fanatical Yas followers.
To believe in them is still to believe in God.
Because their teachings are exactly the same...punishing humanity.
The evil church was sent to the temple, and even officially took control of many places. Those fanatical believers said that it was returning power to God...
Can you imagine how chaotic the Yas Empire was at that time?
If it weren't for the fact that superpowers finally appeared, and after all, the era of "religious fanaticism" had passed for thousands of years, and people's wisdom had been more or less enlightened, that wave of chaos would have been suppressed in the end.
But the price paid was extremely heavy.
A full 100 million people died in the Yas Empire.
You have to know that the total population of the Yas Empire at that time was only 400 million!
What a terrible toll this is?
These people did not die at the hands of the evil church or monsters, but died from killing each other.
The period of the Yas Empire was later called the "Dark Religious Age".
Although the 'Dark Religious Age' has passed, the evil church's actions in the Yas Empire still exist and are still rampant.
The Yas Empire officials have thought of many ways to completely solve the problem of the evil church. However, with such a historical background, there are still many fanatical believers in the Yas Empire. Their concealment, coupled with the secretiveness of the evil church itself, has led to little effect in many crackdowns.
Therefore, the last time Daxia launched an action to wipe out the evil church, many high-ranking officials in the Yas Empire were really jealous.
And they were one of the countries that followed suit... The churches that had already received news from the branch of the Great Xia Empire had already been prepared, so their "imitation action" had little effect, and even suffered heavy losses.
In their eyes, Dawn is a very terrifying existence.
Otherwise, how could they grasp the precise locations of more than 90% of the evil churches in Daxia and then destroy them in one fell swoop?
So when Arthur heard that the Fifth Miku represented Dawn and was here to discuss a deal with the Yas Empire, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became serious.
"I wonder what kind of deal Dawn wants to discuss with us?"
"I know a little about the history of the Yas Empire. Similarly, I think Chief Executive Arthur should also know about what Dawn did in Daxia last time. Dawn, you can do the same as you did in Daxia last time and help the Yas Empire deal with the evil church in Yas."
"What?!"
As soon as the Fifth Hatsune said this, Arthur stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and his eyes widened: "Dawn, are you willing to help the Yas Empire and get rid of the evil church in Yas? Is this true?"
"Yes, this is what Dawn wants to trade."
The fifth Hatsune nodded.
Arthur wanted to agree right away, but he quickly calmed down his excitement... Since it was a deal, Dawnbreak was obviously not free.
“What do we have to give?”
"It's very simple..."
The fifth Hatsune Miku revealed the details of the transaction.
Arthur listened carefully, and waited until the Fifth Miku finished speaking before he asked, "Is this the content of Dawn's deal?"
"Yes." The fifth Hatsune nodded: "Any questions?"
Arthur paced a few times, then stood still and said, "I may need to discuss this with the people above."
"Of course." The fifth Hatsune stood up: "But you know, we don't have much time... Can we get results within an hour?"
"An hour?" Yas thought for a while, then took a deep breath and nodded: "I'll try my best."
Then Arthur said helplessly: "If the transaction you are talking about is just a batch of Abyss Materials, then there is no need to discuss anything further. In an hour, I can guarantee that the Abyss Materials you need, Madam Fifth, will appear at any place you specify in Yuedu."
"But the deal you mentioned is not just this one time, but a long-term cooperation... I can't make the decision alone. So I need to discuss it with the higher-ups. But I believe... the higher-ups are very happy to reach this kind of cooperation with you. There shouldn't be any problems."
"Okay, I'll wait for you for an hour."
The fifth Hatsune nodded: "I'll wait for you outside."
The Fifth Miku stood up, and Arthur walked her to the door, saying, "Okay, then please wait for Ms. Fifth... Ruth, please entertain Ms. Fifth."
"Yes sir."
The blonde secretary Ruth nodded in response, and then said to the Fifth Hatsune, "Ms. Fifth, this way, please..."
The fifth Hatsune nodded and followed Ruth to the lounge next door to wait for news from Arthur.
After watching the Fifth Miku leave, Ya Si took a deep breath and said to the Second Secretary, "I will be busy for about an hour. Don't let anyone disturb me during this hour. Forward all calls."
"Yes, sir." The second secretary, who was also a beauty, nodded in response.
Arthur then returned to the office and sat at his desk. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone on the desk and made a call.
…
…
"Yas said they need to discuss it first, but judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be any major problems."
When Qin Jinnian heard the voice of the Fifth Miku, he had already arrived at the explosion area.
In the vast and dark universe, a torn-to-piece spaceship was floating there, slowly and weakly drifting away.
Qin Jinnian had arrived a while ago, and his eyes narrowed slightly at this moment... because he had discovered that at the scene, there were only destroyed Abyss materials below level 3. Most of those above level 3 had disappeared.
Abyssal materials above level three cannot be destroyed by such an explosion. The wreckage of the spacecraft is still there, but the abyssal materials have disappeared, which can only mean one thing... someone has been here.
After the ship was destroyed.
Just as he was deep in thought, the voice of the Fifth Hatsune sounded in his ears.
After hearing the Fifth Miku's transformation, Qin Jinnian nodded and said, "Okay, then wait for an hour... Although the time is very tight, there are at least two days left, and one day to travel. If Yas doesn't work here, you should immediately go find Bai Xiong and Bu Luo's people."
"good."
"Well, that's it for now."
Qin Jinnian ended the call with the Fifth Hatsune, let out a breath, and his eyes flickered.
Yes, in this transaction, he did not intend to use only a batch of Abyss materials in exchange for Dawn's handling of the affairs of the evil churches in these countries.
Because this is too much of a loss for Dawn.
A batch of Abyss materials, no matter how much it is sold for on Earth, is just a bunch of materials below the God level. From the perspective of the top leaders of various countries, what does this count as? Using a batch of Abyss materials below the God level in exchange for Dawn's continuous busyness for one or two months to find out the basic situation of all the evil churches in the country?
No matter how easy this matter is for Qin Jinnian, it is obviously not the case for others.
To investigate all of this incident in a month or two, normally, any organization would have to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources? Even sacrifice?
People will have such an understanding, so Qin Jinnian naturally cannot make the price too cheap... For one thing, it will easily lose value.
Sometimes, people have to learn to flatter themselves so that others will pay attention to them.
Both, and only this, are reasonable.
Otherwise, others will wonder what Dawn is trying to do.
Therefore, what Qin Jinnian asked for was not a batch of abyss materials.
It is a long-term cooperation.
Through this incident, Qin Jinnian realized that there were too many people in the country who did not want to see the rise of Dawn. If he did not jump out of this circle, he would always be controlled by others... Apart from other things, would he have to create a special clone to suppress the goods in the future?
It’s okay to suppress it now, after all, the number is still small.
After that, when all the stores across the country are opened, the transportation cost will be astronomical! Maybe we need to transport every day! How can we handle it?
Clones are really valuable. We will need their help in many things later. How can we be blocked on one transportation line?
But without the clone, this route is not safe... This time is proof of that.
If they can do it this time, who can be sure they won’t do it a second time?
It would be very embarrassing to fall in the same place twice.
So how do we solve this problem? Actually, it is very simple.
Aren't you using the power within the rules? Then I... will borrow the power from the outside world.
For example...from now on, all the spacecrafts used to transport Dawn will be officially owned by the Yas Empire...
Qin Jinnian's eyes flickered.
He wanted to see if these people would still dare to attack if that happened.
