Chapter 437 Chapter 435: Absurd Conjecture (Additional 6)
The blood gate opened and the space distorted.
The Iron Knight Phil went first, and then Oliveira helped the Sea Monster King Alexios into the cave.
Next came Ms. Palacios, then Grand Duke Karen, and finally Loy and the red dragon Virgil.
Before they left, they naturally released the Naga Princess Alicia.
After gaining her freedom, the woman ran back to the sea clan camp, jumping up and down, insisting that the sea clan guards take action to capture Luo Yi, who had caused her such humiliation.
It’s a pity that with Prince Eros around, these guards wouldn’t move no matter how hard they beat or scolded them.
This includes the guards in front of this palace and the whale warriors.
After passing through the bloody gate, the trance of space distortion disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, Loy and the red dragon Virgil had already appeared on the nameless deserted island.
At this time, the night has passed. Although there is still heavy fog all around, the light in the sky can be seen through the fog.
This trip didn't last long, but it gave me a feeling of being in another world.
As for the result?
In theory, everything has been achieved!
The Siren King Alexios was rescued, and the underwater trade was beginning to make progress.
It is this "weird" experience that really makes people speechless.
When Luo Yi came back, he saw Iron Knight Phil pulling Alexius and asked, "I say, when you were choosing someone to work with, how did you value this woman?
Before this, you didn't know she was crazy?"
What could the Siren King Alexios say? He could only widen his eyes and repeat innocently, "I don't know!"
"I don't know!"
In fact, we can't blame him. With his status, he can't contact the high-level officials in R'lyeh City, so it is normal for him to judge the time.
However, he still has to arrange the follow-up matters!
For example, the bloody gate on this nameless deserted island cannot be demolished, as it will be the channel of communication with the city of R'lyeh in the future.
For example, if the Naga prince sent someone, Alexios would have to receive him.
As for the negotiations between the two sides, there is no rush.
Once both parties have communicated well, set a time and place and continue the discussion.
As long as both parties are willing to make money, it is actually a very simple thing to share what they have.
Loy pulled Alexius aside and gave him some instructions again, then he led everyone on board the magic warship and sailed towards the Flower Territory.
Theoretically, this trip went smoothly, but Luo Yi seemed to be worried.
Everyone gathered in the captain's room, chatting about their experiences under the sea. Walter was mainly curious and asked questions shamelessly.
Then, we started chatting, one after another.
After the sense of strangeness was eliminated, everyone became talkative, except Luo Yi, who went to the bow alone.
The magic warship sailed through the waves, and Luo Yi stood at the bow. Although it was covered by fog, the oncoming sea breeze was helping him sort out his chaotic thoughts.
At some point, the red dragon Virgil arrived behind him and said, "Are you feeling confused?"
Luo Yi nodded: "There are some things I haven't figured out!"
"Is it because of the news Prince Eros told you?"
"Yes!"
Red Dragon Virgil tilted his head slightly and said, "It's normal for the empires to have their own plans and arrangements, and to target each other.
Why do you seem to care so much?"
Luo Yi did not answer immediately, but frowned more and more. After a long while, he finally spoke: "To be honest, it is difficult for me to describe my thoughts now.
In fact, a lot of information is fragmented and difficult to sort out.
But then, all of a sudden, an idea came to me, an idea that even shocked me.”
The red dragon Virgil became interested: "Tell me, let me hear it?"
Luo Yi opened his mouth to speak, but the words turned back on him.
"Forget it, forget it, it all sounds ridiculous!"
The red dragon Virgil laughed loudly: "Ridiculous? Hahahaha, how far have you come? How many things have you experienced?
When it comes to absurdity, I've seen more than you can imagine!
So, stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you think. I'll give you some advice."
"Then I said, please don't laugh at me?"
"Speak faster!"
"Don't you think the death of the Imperial Crown Prince is suspicious?"
"What's so suspicious about this? Isn't this a foregone conclusion? The coalition is definitely behind this... Wait!
you mean? "
"I always feel that the death of the Imperial Crown Prince was not the work of the coalition forces, but rather a long-planned plot by the Empire!"
When these words came out, even the Red Dragon Virgil, who thought he was knowledgeable, widened his eyes. He looked at Luo Yi, his eyes filled with questions like "Are you crazy?"
But having said this, Roy no longer cared. He continued, "So, it was the Empire that murdered the Crown Prince in order to provoke this all-out war."
“I always feel that there is an invisible hand behind the empire, controlling everything.
But why would they do this? What is their ultimate goal?"
"I just can't figure this out!"
The red dragon Virgil frowned when he heard this, and thought about it for a long time along the lines of Luo Yi, but still couldn't figure it out.
But he didn't hesitate and said directly: "Luo Yi, let me teach you something else?"
"You said?"
“There are so many secrets in this world, so many that you can’t even focus on them all.
So, you have to learn to forget and let go.
Even if your guess is true, so what? What does it have to do with you?
The empire is willing to fight among its own people and kill its own crown prince, so why do you care about him? "
"Don't tell me, you still want to overturn the verdict on behalf of the Crown Prince?"
"Haha, I don't have that kind of leisure time. The problem is, I can't rest easy until I understand the Empire's plans!"
Red Dragon Virgil asked, "Why?"
This time, Luo Yi did not rush to answer. He held the railing with both hands, facing the strong wind. It was not until a long time later that his voice drifted away in the wind.
"Don't you think the Empire is being too kind to the Flower Territory?"
"I provided people and technology, and helped build factories, cities, and railways. I even controlled the arms trade.
Are they too nice to me?"
"But in this world, all love without reason has a hidden price.
What is the price I need to pay?"
…
It should be said that this is the uneasiness that has been lingering in Luo Yi's heart for a long time.
The news that was accidentally received this time has further exacerbated this uneasiness.
In fact, it was based on this uneasiness that Luo Yi was unwilling to be deeply bound to the empire and always emphasized his independence.
Including the sale of arms to the coalition forces and the underwater trade with the Naga Empire, in fact, all of these were based on this idea, and he was able to have the best of both worlds!
Of course, it was too early to say these things, and they were things he couldn't solve at this stage.
So, just let it go!
When he returned to Brussels, Roy tried to write a letter to Prince Eros and sent it through the Blood Gate.
Over time, Luo Yi also fell in love with the communication mode of letters.
Many things that are inconvenient to say in person can be expressed freely in letters.
Moreover, before formal negotiations, basic communication to clarify each party’s needs is also extremely necessary.
Prince Eros was not pretentious. After receiving the letter, he immediately replied to Roy.
The two sides communicated with each other and understood each other better.
For example, Luo Yi only now realized that there is actually a lot of communication between the human race and the sea race, and the two sides also have trade exchanges.
However, the trading partners are mostly powerful wizard organizations, and the commodities traded are mainly magical materials.
Many magical materials in the deep sea are readily available to the sea creatures and can be picked at will, but for humans, they are top-notch products!
Some materials on land are also common, but for the sea people, they cannot be bought without channels.
The transaction between the two parties was indeed a win-win situation and both sides made a lot of money.
However, there are not many more in-depth transactions, such as finished weapons, potions, daily necessities, etc.
The main reason is that the environments are very different and some things are not universal.
And these are the directions that Luoyi wants to develop and expand.
For example, sea creatures actually don’t like the high-pressure environment of the deep sea, which is also a huge burden for them.
Therefore, outside their cities, there are super-large magic shields that are turned on all year round to balance the water pressure.
Of course, all of this is supported by the endless water elements in the ocean.
In comparison, the sea civilization is stronger than humans in large-scale defensive magic arrays, teleportation arrays, etc.
However, the consumption of water elements is also exaggerated. Once on land, without energy supply, the effect is greatly reduced.
In addition, Prince Eros showed great interest in magical machinery.
At least two-thirds of a letter is about asking this question.
Luo Yi did not hide anything and sent him a basic document, asking him to study it first and ask if he had any questions.
To be honest, the existing magical machines are all human creations. They have no problem adapting to the land environment, but he has no idea how they will perform after being placed on the seabed.
So, let’s first give you some basic knowledge and see if we can provide some industrial enlightenment or something.
Finally, after a deeper understanding, Luo Yi realized it.
In fact, the biggest problem of the city of R'lyeh is not the "dispute over the crown prince".
Because, that crazy woman Alicia was just dancing for fun, and in fact she was not a threat at all, and Prince Eros's position was extremely stable.
However, the identity of their father, Prince Antilochus, was somewhat embarrassing.
He is the younger brother of the current Naga Emperor, not his offspring, so being the successor governor is a special case.
If he died, perhaps the Naga Emperor would just wave his hand and take back the Northeast Province.
At that time, the two siblings had nothing left.
Therefore, 'hereditary succession without interruption' is a big problem!
And this is why Prince Eros values Loyi's line.
Even if they lost the Northeast Province, as long as the business was successful, they would have money and resources in their hands, and their lives would not be too difficult in the future.
On this side, when Luo Yi was preparing to conduct formal trade negotiations with the sea tribe, Grand Duke Carlisle gave him trouble again.
