Chapter 309: The Grand Chancellor's Request
"Forget it. The wine needs to be aged for some time before it becomes more mellow."
Qin Chen shook his head and turned away.
He has a good impression of Ding Yumian, so no matter what, he will not let the tragedy in the original book happen in the future. If such a good psychic disaster victim grows up, the chance of him becoming a psychic forbidden spell master is definitely very high. The thought of becoming a psychic forbidden spell master is terrifying.
Mingzhu Academy Apartment "Ding Dong Ding Dong!!!"
"Bring it here."
When the doorbell rang, Mu Nujiao knew that the takeaway had arrived, so she walked out lazily in her slippers to open the door and said lightly.
"Ohhh, here's your takeaway."
Shao Zheng at the door didn't react for a moment, but after seeing the takeaway on the ground, he bent down, picked up the takeaway and handed it to Mu Nujiao.
"Great, Great Speaker!"
When Mu Nujiao realized something was wrong, she took a serious look at the delivery man in front of her, and then she realized that she had recognized the wrong person. This was not a delivery man, but the Speaker!!!
I don't know what happened to the delivery man. He put the food at the door without calling her. Then she asked the speaker to get her food!!! I was so embarrassed. At this moment, Mu Nujiao didn't know what to say to herself. It was too bold and crazy to ask the speaker to deliver food to her! "This is your food. I came to see Qin Chen. Why don't you invite me in and sit down?"
Shao Zheng was fine with it, he still handed the takeaway to Mu Nujiao and spoke amiably.
"Grand Speaker, please come in. I didn't know it was you, Grand Speaker. Sorry for the offense!"
Mu Nujiao straightened her back quickly, all her laziness gone, and she stood upright, making way, and stretched out her hand to ask for permission.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm the speaker at the conference. You don't have to be so serious with me on weekdays. I'm not a serious person." Shao Zheng walked into the apartment with a smile.
"The Grand Chancellor, please have some tea."
Mu Nujiao hurried to make tea, but she didn't drink tea on weekdays, so she could only get the Dahongpao in Qin Chen's room to make tea, and then brought a cup of Dahongpao to the Speaker.
“The tea is good.”
After Shao Zheng took a sip, he looked a little strange, but the smile on his face did not disappear.
"Grand Speaker, is there something important that brought you here to see Qin Chen? He doesn't come back often, why don't I give him a call?"
Mu Nujiao didn't notice Shao Zheng's strange expression and asked stiffly.
"No need, he's almost home." Shao Zheng said after picking up a glass of water and drinking it.
"Nujiao, I'm back. I didn't miss you."
As soon as Shao Zheng finished speaking, the door of the apartment was opened and Qin Chen's excited voice was heard.
"Qin Chen, the Grand Speaker is looking for you!"
Seeing this, Mu Nujiao was so shy that her face turned red. She reminded Qin Chen coquettishly that the Speaker was here and he should stop talking nonsense! "Speaker, why are you here? Why are you drinking my tea?"
Qin Chen said in surprise when he saw the glass of Dahongpao in front of Shao Zheng.
This Da Hong Pao is the top-grade tea that he carefully selected. The most important thing is that he added some medicines to strengthen the body. Ordinary people can't drink it, and ordinary men can't drink it! "Qin Chen, I see you drink it often, so I brewed a cup for the Speaker."
Mu Nujiao didn't know why Qin Chen cared about a cup of tea, so she explained.
"Oh, Nujiao, next time when you entertain guests, don't use my Da Hong Pao. This tea doesn't taste good and most people can't drink it. Next time I'll buy Baiyun Mountain tea and you can use that to make tea."
Qin Chen quickly put away the Da Hong Pao and poured out the tea in Shao Zheng's cup. He couldn't let Shao Zheng drink it anymore, otherwise something bad would happen.
"Qin Chen, I didn't expect that you usually drink such exquisite tea. It's good to be young, but you must take care of your health and know how to be moderate."
Shao Zheng took a sip and knew what was in the tea, so he looked at Qin Chen with a look that all men would understand and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Grand Chancellor. I'm in good health. I can fight for three days and three nights without any problems."
Qin Chen said seriously.
Mu Nujiao was not an innocent little girl who knew nothing. She naturally knew what Qin Chen meant. She stretched out her hand to Qin Chen's waist, made a 180-degree turn, and signaled him with her eyes not to talk nonsense in front of the Speaker.
"Qin Chen, you also know my prediction. The Sirens will be our country's most powerful enemy in the future!" Shao Zheng's tone suddenly became serious.
"I know that the ocean occupies 70% of our world. The sirens bred in the ocean are much more powerful than the demons and monsters on land. Especially in places with water, the combat power of sirens is almost twice that of the same level of land monsters. At the same time, the number of sirens is more than five times that of land monsters."
Qin Chen's expression also became serious, no longer looking indifferent.
"You are right. As you said, our country is now facing an almost unwinnable battle against the Sirens. Therefore, we need more power to fight against the Sirens."
"Someone once told me that there is a power dormant in our country that can fight against the Sirens. As long as we can awaken it, we will have hope of fighting against the Sirens. But he disappeared while searching for this power." Shao Zheng sighed.
"The person the speaker is talking about should be Jiang Shaoxu's brother Jiang Shaojun, and this power is a totem." Qin Chen said without surprise.
"Well, it seems that you already know that you have a special affinity with totems. The Black Snake Totem and the Moon Phoenix Totem are both related to you. I hope you can take on the unfinished mission of Jiang Shaojun and awaken the totems sleeping in our country. Every time a totem beast is awakened, our country will have more hope in fighting against the sea monster, and it will reduce the sacrifice of hundreds of mages for our country."
Shao Zheng said sincerely that it can be said that awakening the totem to help humans fight against the sirens is a strategy that does not require any resource investment and can reap huge rewards. The only thing to do is to find the right person to look for it.
"Chairman, although what you said makes sense, I am only a super-class wizard now. I cannot take on such an important task. You have to know that not all totems are friendly to humans. After so much time has passed, some totems are as scary to humans as demons."
"Why did Jiang Shaojun disappear? I guess it's because he found a totem that hated humans, and then was slapped to death by that totem. So, Speaker, you should wait until I reach the forbidden spell before you tell me about this matter."
"Speaker, forgive me for being blunt, but in our battle with the Kraken, even the Totem Beasts at their peak suffered heavy losses in order to defeat the Kraken. So what if we awaken a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of Totem Beasts now?"
"Faced with an endless number of sea monsters, how many can the totem beasts resist?"
"The real decision on the direction of the war is the emperor. Can our Dragon Nation defeat the Sea Monster Emperor? If not, we should give up the coastline as soon as possible to avoid more losses and save our strength for the battle in the northwest."
Qin Chen's strength is now in a period of rapid growth. He will not focus all his attention on the totem. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to look for the totem, but he just doesn't want to be fooled.
He is not Mo Fan, who could be fooled by Shao Zhengsuo about national affairs and people's responsibilities. He is no longer the boy he used to be, the pure boy who grew up under the red flag. Now he has been dyed colorful by the society and has lived up to his youth.
“.”
When Mu Nujiao heard what Chairman Shao Zheng said, she suddenly felt her blood boiling. After feeling the suffering of the country, she wanted to make her due contribution to the country and agree to Chairman Shao Zheng's request.
But the next moment, Qin Chen rejected the speaker's request without hesitation, and said it directly and mercilessly. Is this really okay? This is the speaker!
“.”
Shao Zheng was also confused by Qin Chen's rejection. He had never seen such a difficult-to-fool teenager. When he had fooled them before, those teenagers had enthusiastically agreed to it. He did not expect Qin Chen to refuse so decisively and even persuade him to give up the coastline! "You have a big vision and know a lot about sea monsters."
Shao Zheng sighed, how could he not know how powerful the siren was? It was not that he was unwilling to give up the coastline, but that he could not give it up, because once he gave up the coastline, it meant giving up all the cities along the coastline.
The richest places in our country are in the coastal areas. If all the cities in the coastal areas are abandoned, then so many people in our country will have to move inland. However, the inland environment is much worse than that of coastal cities. At that time, even eating will be a problem. I don’t know how many people will starve to death.
"I'm not stupid. Since you said that the sirens will attack our country, it is not a tentative attack, but just like in the Totem Era, the sirens will attack with the intention of occupying the land. This is a war comparable to the Totem Era." Qin Chen said lightly.
"I can allow Asuka City and all your forces to enjoy the lowest tax policy in the country."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Since he can't fool people, he can only offer actual benefits. There is no relationship more attractive than benefits. Qin Chen doesn't want to look for the totem, but he just doesn't see the benefits. Now Shao Zheng has almost figured out Qin Chen's character. He is a pragmatist. Don't expect him to work without benefits.
"Speaker, this is not a tax issue, this is a war. Even with the totems and us humans, we can't defeat the sea monsters who are bent on occupying the land." Qin Chen shook his head and said.
"I can help you promote the totem and your reputation, so that people all over the country can accept the existence of the totem and make you famous." Speaker Shao Zheng continued.
"Speaker, no matter how great your reputation is, it is not as precious as your life." Qin Chen still did not agree.
"I can give you the qualification to enter the Imperial Capital Magic Library and read all the magic methods there."
Shao Zheng brought out his real trump card this time. The National Magic Library records most of the magic collections of the Dragon Kingdom over thousands of years. Even the ancient king's Afang Palace is kept in the magic library.
It can be said that it is like the civilization history of the development of human magic, and there is an unknown magical heritage hidden in it. This is the magical heritage of the Dragon Kingdom, and it is also one of the cornerstones of the Dragon Kingdom as one of the five major magic empires in the world!
"Speaker, I also think that the totem is the key to our victory over the Siren. Awakening the totem will increase our country's hope of victory. As a member of the Dragon Team and a nationally outstanding young wizard, I have an obligation to find the totem!"
"By the way, Speaker, when can I enter the Magic Library and how long can I stay in there?"
After hearing the five words "Magic Library", Qin Chen's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn.
“.”
Seeing Qin Chen's change in attitude, Mu Nujiao silently moved a little, as if she didn't want the Speaker to think that they had a good relationship. This was simply too embarrassing.
"Okay, I'll leave the totem matter to you. I'll send you all the totem information later."
"As for the matter of the Magic Library, you can go to the Imperial Capital at any time and let Pang Lai take you there."
After getting Qin Chen's answer, Shao Zheng smiled.
"Little guy, I can't cure you!"
At this time, Shao Zheng smiled in his heart. After all, he felt a sense of accomplishment in dealing with such a stubborn little guy who only cared about interests.
"Qin Chen, isn't it a bad idea for you to negotiate with the Grand Speaker like this?"
Mu Nujiao didn't dare to speak until Chairman Shao Zheng left. She was afraid that Qin Chen would leave a bad impression in Chairman Shao Zheng's mind if he negotiated terms like this.
"It's okay. Chairman Shao Zheng has a broader mind than you think. He won't care about this kind of thing."
"By the way, why were you so far away from me just now?"
Qin Chen asked with a smile as he looked at Mu Nujiao who had moved away.
"No, not far either."
Seeing this, Mu Nujiao lowered her head and said, knowing that she was in the wrong.
"Not far? Then get closer."
Having said this, Qin Chen pulled Mu Nujiao into his arms and teased her.
"You, let me go, I haven't eaten yet."
Although this is not the first time, Mu Nujiao still feels shy every time, just like the first time.
"I'll feed you."
Qin Chen lowered his head and kissed Mu Nujiao, covering her red lips.
The next day, at Qingtian Hunting Ground, Qin Chen came to the coffee table in a good mood, poured himself a cup of milk tea, and drank it happily.
"Lingling, did you receive the totem information I gave you last night?"
After Shao Zheng handed the totem information to Qin Chen yesterday, he didn't even look at it and directly forwarded it to Lingling. He would not do such research information.
"I haven't seen it, but I found the volcano with special flames that you asked me to find before. It just so happens that the Golden War Hunters are also going there. We can go with the Golden War Hunters. It's better to have a companion on the road than to go alone."
Lingling said while staring at the computer without turning her head.
"Okay, since we have nothing to do now, let's find someone to go with us. Nujiao is in the Magic City and can go with us. Ning Xue is busy with the affairs of Xingchen Mountain and doesn't have time. Jiang Shaoxu may have to go, so let's ask her to go together. By the way, let's ask Mu Bai as well. That guy is a poison mage and an insect master. He has studied insects and might be useful on the way." Qin Chen said while counting on his fingers.
