Chapter 226 The Beginning of the Fall

"Ligado, what will Gretz use as collateral?"

Richard asked the question again with a sneer. Even though sweat broke out on her head, Ligado still forced herself to squeeze out a smile. Using the people as a threat, Ligado was forced to make a decision. But how could Richard let him do as he wished? The group of tentacles was cut off from Richard. When Richard didn't contact it, it could only survive by instinct, that is, it would drill around everywhere. And Richard was very considerate to close the front door for Ligado, so the tentacles could only drill into the back door.

Ligado was about to open her mouth when the stimulation of the tentacles reached her brain. Ligado quickly bit her lower lip to prevent herself from making any sound. The civil servant next to him took up the topic by suggesting several assets that could be mortgaged. Richard smiled and did not continue to ask questions. Anyway, there was still a chance.

The memories continued, but Ligredo was absent-minded. Ligredo was not far away from Richard. Richard could see her trembling legs with his peripheral vision. Richard smiled secretly. Tentacles can do more than drill. They can also secrete a kind of mucus, which makes the senses more sensitive. As time went on, Ligredo's eyes became dazed.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Richard knocked on the table: "Hey, Ligado, are you listening? We are discussing building new industries in Gretz."

Ligado swallowed and said with difficulty: "Ah... yes... yes. But... Gretz has no new resources. If we want to import from outside... we don't have the funds..."

Richard said with one hand on his face: "I know this, but a lot of ancient technologies have been unearthed in Gretz. If these technologies are put into production, it will bring great improvement to Gretz's economy."

"No... No! Ancient technology is very dangerous... It violates Gretz's national principles... We can't use these dangerous technologies for our own selfish desires?!"

Ligado shouted out all of a sudden, Richard smiled, his other hand hidden under the conference table, his fingers moving back and forth, and correspondingly, his tentacles were also moving quickly.

Ligaredo bit her lower lip and stared at Richard. In her eyes, Richard's smile now looked like a devil. She now understood that Richard had deceived her. Before the meeting, Richard told her that she only needed to wear this. This group of monsters had no life and were not under Richard's control.

Even so, Ligaredo still resisted the urge to object to Richard: "In the past, people abused technology... ha... and paid a terrible price... hiss... almost destroyed the world, so we can't let Gretz repeat the same mistake!" Richard

raised his eyebrows: "However, if Gretz can't get food and the people starve to death, wouldn't it be even more unprofitable? Without people, how can a country be a country?"

"But... but... ah..."

Richard closed one eye and poured his mental power into it. The tentacles began to secrete drugs, and Ligredo was sensitive to it. This was a drug that paralyzed the body's muscles and made some organs sensitive. Ligredo gritted her teeth and mobilized her meager divine power to keep herself awake. Ligredo was now thinking about some embarrassing things in her mind.

Richard was very satisfied with her current performance, and continued in a pretentious manner: "Ligado, you have to change these old ideas. There will be no future if you keep things as they are. Gretz must innovate."

Richard increased his strength all of a sudden, and tears flashed in Ligado's eyes: "Richard, please stop... If you go on like this..."

Richard asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Huh? What's the matter? Don't pretend to be pitiful there, you might as well make up some reasonable reasons. If the reasons you make up are convincing, I might change my mind about using ancient technology."

"No... It's not about this..."

Ligado's mouth was half open, and saliva flowed out. Richard's eyes were full of smiles, as if to say keep resisting, if you can resist, then keep resisting.

Ligredo regained some of her sanity when she looked at Richard. She couldn't surrender. If she surrendered here, she would be finished as a woman and a guardian.

Ligredo gathered up her scattered rationality and objected: "I... I strongly oppose it. I strongly oppose the use of ancient technology, especially in war! Not only Grayze, but if ancient technology is abused and the Midnight War is triggered again, this continent will be destroyed! Ah?"

Ligredo suddenly screamed shamelessly. Richard had decided to launch the final attack. He adjusted his mental strength to the maximum, and his tentacles moved rapidly. The sanity that had just been collected was lost in an instant. What made Ligredo even more desperate was that her screams made everyone's eyes focus on her. The civil servants of Gretz were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

"No... don't look! Turn your faces away!"

Ligredo begged, but Richard said with a stern face: "Ligredo, we are in a meeting now, do you want to change the topic?"

"That's all because of you..."

The sound of gurgling came out, Ligredo's hands pressed tightly on the root of her thighs, her head lowered, and she endured it. The tentacles went deeper, and Ligredo's head kept shaking, and it was very uncomfortable to endure.

Richard smiled: "Are you nodding? Do you agree to my request? Open all the ancient technologies?"

"No, no!" Ligredo raised her head in surprise, but in an instant, she felt a liquid injected into her, it was enema liquid. Her stomach growled, and the urge to defecate washed over Ligredo's scalp.

"Please let me go to the toilet..."

Richard teased: "So the goddess also needs to go to the toilet."

"Hehehe." Yoshisa laughed.

Ligredo lowered her head in shame, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"No... no matter what, please let me go to the toilet, I can't bear it any longer."

Richard's expression became serious, and he told her the real purpose of torturing her this time: "Then I want to ask you once, is Gretz willing to open all its ancient technologies to us in exchange for our assistance to Gretz?"

Gretz archaeological discoveries have discovered many ancient technologies, but only space technologies are useful. Richard has been paying attention to the self-explosive clay figurines, but there is no method for using the production line, but when he was reading ancient books one time, Richard found another ancient technology library in Gretz, which preserved most of the ancient technologies. Richard found the treasure house, but couldn't enter. The treasure house was protected by a mysterious force and could only be entered in a specific way. The person who mastered this method was Ligredo, so Richard chose this method to achieve his goal. Of course, this was also the beginning of her fall...
