Sarkaz Laborers: "Talulah-sama, we're loyal!!!" / Noble Remnants Plotting Trouble; The Gigantic Wendigo Prepares to Make Its Debut
It has been a month since the last refresh of the discount area, and today is the time for new products to be refreshed.
After opening System Panel, An Xiu clicked into the mall page with ease, and then looked at the products in the discount area that were refreshed this time.
[Holy Lance Rhongomyniad](50% off): 6000 points
[Nightmare Bloodline](30% off): 1200 points
[Omnitrix] (50% off): 400000000 points
[Surprise Blind Box](50% off): 2500 points
Looking at the several discounted products in front of him, An Xiu only had one thought in his mind.
"Again?"
In the same discount area, products that I absolutely cannot afford at this stage appear. In the same way, after discounted products that far exceed my current purchasing ability, Surprise Blind Box appears.
Looking at the scene in front of me, An Xiu always felt that the picture seemed a bit familiar.
If he remembered correctly, Sakura seems to have come from this way.
However, what is different from the last time is that out of all the products that were refreshed in the discount area, An Xiu, only one Surprise Blind Box can be purchased. This time, in addition to the blind box, there are two other products that can be purchased, so it is not like you can only buy one blind box as a bet.
[Holy Lance Rhongomyniad], from Nasuverse, Noble Phantasm held by Artoria, compared to the ordinary stupid king, held The silly kings from Holy Lance to Noble Phantasm tend to understand people's hearts better. For details, please refer to Lancer Artoria and Lostbelt silly kings.
[Nightmare Bloodline], it may be difficult to judge just by looking at the name. After all, there are quite a lot of works related to Nightmare in the world of Limitless, but the Nightmare Bloodline that is being refreshed is also from Nasuverse and belongs to the bloodline of Phantasma.
[Omnitrix], you may not be able to recognize it just by looking at the name, and you may wonder why this thing can sell for 400 million yuan, but if you mention its other name, Xiaobo Watch, many people will probably remember it.
The ability of this thing is very simple, that is, it can input the genetic information of various alien creatures, and then transform into these alien creatures, and the small broken table refreshed in the discount area in front of An Xiu is fully equipped, that is, the genes of all the alien heroes who appeared in the original work of this work have been input, including X Superman.
This makes it understandable why this little broken watch is so expensive. After all, if you ignore its multiple flaws, X Superman has a multi-level combat capability.
"The stuff is pretty good, but it's a pity that I can't afford it."
Skipping the small broken watch, An Xiu has collected three products [Holy Lance Rhongomyniad], [Nightmare Bloodline], and [Surprise Blind Box].
[Holy Lance Rhongomyniad] and [Nightmare Bloodline] were temporarily stored in the system space, and An Xiu turned his attention to the last [Surprise Blind Box].
"System, open the blind box."
Just listen to An Xiu say.
Just like the last time Surprise Blind Box was opened, An Xiu also did not have high hopes for the gains after opening the blind box this time.
It's not that An Xiu is deliberately frustrated, but in a prize pool with no upper or lower caps or bottom caps, the probability of getting something good is really low. It is a rational judgment not to have high expectations. For a blind box with an original price of 5,000 points, as long as the final reward is not less than the cost, it will be considered a success.
However, beyond An Xiu's expectation, the current Surprise Blind Box really gave him a small surprise after opening it.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a set of [Redstone] (supplemented by Limitless)."
The system's prompt sounded in the ears, and in the system space of An Xiu, there was also a dark red square ore with the length, width and height of the standard one meter, and the word 64 was marked on the side. Obviously, this was the reward that An Xiu got in the blind box this time.
[Redstone], a special ore from the MC world, the prerequisites established by Redstone technology, has many uses in the game.
In reality, Redstone also has many uses. The simplest one, Redstone itself has the properties of Endless Energy to some extent.
As long as Redstone is used to make Redstone powder and combined with Redstone itself, Redstone can release energy close to Limitless.
Moreover, the group Redstone obtained by An Xiu is also replenished by Limitless, which means that no matter how much is used, it will always be replenished to one group.
"These Redstone, take them to Vill-V for research."
It is still unknown what changes Redstone has undergone after coming to reality. How to use it specifically, An Xiu thinks it is better to let professionals make the decision.
Three days later, Kazdel.
Theresis was seen holding documents concerning various details of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy Terra Empire and Kazdel, and in front of him was Manfred with his head lowered.
"So, what you mean is that I asked you to go to the empire to test the situation on behalf of Kazdel, but you ended up signing the agreement with the empire directly on behalf of Kazdel?"
"Yes."
Are you here? Where are you?
Faced with this situation, Theresis felt that his blood pressure soared. Manfred's move could be regarded as a serious dereliction of duty. If Theresis had not known it thoroughly, the act of casually using his power to make decisions for Kazdel without consultation would have killed Manfred hundreds of times.
Fortunately, after repeated inspection by Theresis, there is indeed no problem with the agreement on establishing diplomatic relations between Kazdel and Holy Terra Empire.
"Alas..."
With a deep sigh in his heart, Theresis finally let Manfred leave, and he himself set out to make some preparations for the subsequent establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
He needs to inform other Royal Court masters that Kazdel has established diplomatic relations with the empire, and ask those guys, especially Blood Demon Great Lord, to restrain his men.
There can't be any mistakes in the cooperation with the empire. As long as Kazdel doesn't want to face the empire's iron fist, then he'd better do things beautifully.
As long as this cooperation with the empire goes smoothly, Kazdel will be able to usher in a period of development in the future. Therefore, in order to ensure that no accidents occur, it is best for everyone to be honest during this period.
In addition, Sarkaz who are to be sent to serve as long-term laborers in the empire also need to be summoned and carefully selected by him. Fortunately, the entire Kazdel lacks everything, even ordinary Sarkaz civilians who cannot survive their days. There is no need to go elsewhere. Just search casually in Mobile City of Kazdel and you can get the first batch of candidates immediately.
However, after sending these people to the empire, in order to further confirm Holy Terra Empire's attitude towards Kazdel, it is best to send another person to follow them.
Manfred is no longer reliable. This time, Theresis plans to ask his teacher, Necromancer Grand Duke Niecilei.
Chapter 193: Sarkaz Labor: Talulah Kaka, loyal!!!
The day for the official cooperation between Kazdel and Holy Terra Empire came soon. Under the organization of Kazdel Military Committee, a large number of Sarkaz people formed a team and went to the Holy Terra Empire border. After arriving at the border, relevant personnel from the empire would be responsible for making arrangements, organizing these high-quality labor forces, and then transporting them to various parts of the empire to participate in the project.
In order to express Kazdel's sincerity, the number of Sarkaz who were organized and sent to the empire this time reached a hundred thousand, and the person responsible for leading this huge team was Rot Eater Royal Court's army, Nie Cilei.
Taking into account the fact that Sarkaz has almost all the people as soldiers, and is led by Royal Court Grand Duke, any country in the entire land except Holy Terra Empire will probably let out a sharp explosion when they see this team, and they will arch their bodies and breathe wildly.
After all, one hundred thousand Sarkaz plus the so-called King of War Necromancer Grand Duke Niecilei as the leader, you say you are here to work? I don't think you are here to fight?
Only today's Holy Terra Empire can face such a team calmly, without fear of the opponent's intentions.
Speaking of war, can anyone know more about war than Emperor Talulah, who unified three countries in less than half a year, and two of them are Terra top powers?
Rather, the empire of Emperor Red Dragon is perhaps the country with the most fanatical attitude towards war on the Terra land today, especially those group armies that originally belonged to Ursus.
Kazimierz's army was defeated in less than a day by the Wendigo Army's airborne operations. Victoria almost emptied the entire country because the coalition forces formed by several Duke were destroyed. More than 80% of the military strength, but most of Ursus's group army was directly absorbed by Talulah, and they followed Talulah all the way from Ursus Snowfield to Victoria.
Now, these Ursus group armies, which were originally the largest war machines in the former Terra world, are looking forward to their His Majesty the Emperors continuing to launch sacred great expeditions to other countries and beating all neighboring countries such as Great Yan, Columbia, and Leithanien to their knees.
The citizens of the original Kazimierz and Victoria may not want the empire to continue waging war, but the citizens and military of the original Ursus do not.
Unfortunately, Ursus happened to be the place where Emperor Red Dragon made his fortune, and due to the serious loss of the original Victoria's military strength, the size of Kazimierz's army compared to Ursus and Victoria are too small, so now Holy Terra Empire's army system is basically filled by soldiers who originally belonged to Ursus, except for the Wendigo Legion.
The super empire composed of Emperor, who was founded on war, and the army that brainlessly supported the emperor in starting the war, has finally come to an end. As Regent of Kazdel, Theresis has a bad brain and would try to twist the empire's beard at this time, giving this monster that had finally calmed down the risk of moving again.
When playing against other countries' empires, you may still have to worry about whether it will cause other countries to sign up for a group, but when playing against Kazdel, you don't have this worry at all.
After all, beating up demons is the biggest political correctness in this land, and although Kazdel is used to being beaten by Terra countries, he is not so smart as to actively seek beatings when the empire is willing to cooperate and win-win.
The huge team arrived at the empire, and were then organized by empire-related staff who had already prepared, and began to register one by one.
"Name?"
"Nie Cilei."
"What occupation did you have before?"
"Currently serving as Rot Eater King in Kazdel, he has many years of experience in war and some education, and he is the leader of the team establishing diplomatic relations with Kazdel this time."
"Okay, please fill out this form. In view of your special status, the empire will arrange a management position for you. There is no need to engage in other jobs. You only need to concentrate on leading your country's team and restrain them from causing trouble within the empire."
"Of course."
After filling out the form, Nie Cilei found a place and waited patiently like an elder for the empire to register the members of the Sarkaz diplomatic team.
As a Royal Court owner who truly considers the future of Kazdel and Sarkaz, Nie Cilei already deeply understood the significance of the establishment of diplomatic relations to Kazdel after being approached by his former student Theresis and having an all-night conversation.
Today's Kazdel has long lost its former glory. Under the repeated ravages of Terra countries, if they want to develop again, they need a suitable opportunity.
Cooperating with the Holy Terra Empire is the opportunity that Kazdel has been waiting for. If there is this cooperative relationship, then at least for a period of time in the future, Terra All countries will selectively turn a blind eye to the development of Kazdel, so as to prevent the Terra coalition forces from various countries from being rushed to the ground as soon as there is any sign of revival like before.
Therefore, Nie Cilei, who shoulders the heavy responsibility, must exercise restraint and ensure that this cooperation can proceed smoothly.
However, just as Nie Cilei was thinking, the nearly 100,000 Sarkaz who arrived in the Holy Terra Empire encountered the first trouble first.
Since they were sent to the empire by Kazdel as workers, although the pay for these Sarkaz will be lower than that of normal empire workers, they are still paid.
When you need to pay wages, you naturally need registration information, but it would take a long time to register a hundred thousand Sarkaz people by staff alone, so in most cases these Sarkaz people need to fill out the forms themselves.
But the cultural level of Sarkaz is understandable. In a place where graduates from prenatal education are considered to be highly intellectuals, it would be good for most Sarkaz to be able to write their own names, and more information such as date of birth, work experience, etc. The simple things like experience, expertise, and self-introduction are just difficult to deal with. As for the dense pile of professional terms in the labor contract, most Sarkaz couldn't understand it at all. In the end, he could only wait in line and wait for the staff to solve it one by one.
The result of this is that the actual time of registration completion and departure for work is about two days later than expected.
The central part of the empire is the area bordering Victoria and Kazimierz.
A large number of Sarkaz were transported here by the empire as Land Transport Ship and arranged to go to the construction site. Under the command of the empire's Civil Engineering Department engineers, a trade route connecting the original three countries of Victoria, Kazimierz, and Ursus will be gradually built in the future, directly leading to the entire empire.
In view of the cultural level of Sarkaz, the tasks they are assigned are generally not very difficult and are the simplest and most direct manual labor. It is naturally very difficult for normal workers. However, for these Sarkaz who came to the empire, they have a sense of déjà vu that the harder they work, the more they work. After all, no matter how tired they are, it is better than risking their lives as mercenaries.
Moreover, the treatment of workers in the empire is much better than that of mercenaries in Kazdel. Although the remuneration is lower than that of normal empire workers, and they have to work two more hours a day without overtime pay, the problem is that due to the implementation of the eight-hour work system, even working two more hours a day is nothing more than ten hours of working time. On this basis, the empire will also provide free three meals a day and dormitories for these workers.
A variety of meats, vegetables and staple foods are provided for each of the three meals a day. The dishes are rich and unlimited. Although the dormitory is temporarily built and the conditions are relatively poor, it is better than sleeping directly in the wilderness when Kazdel. You have to be wary of attacks.
The most important thing is that although the income is lower than that of normal empire workers, because the empire does not have various corrupt managements who often withhold remuneration, the actual remuneration that these workers Sarkaz can finally get is actually higher than the average salary of workers in the previous Victoria period.
With such treatment, these Sarkazs who were sent to the empire by Kazdel were rolled up as a matter of course. They did not need to be urged by the supervisors. Every day when they opened their eyes and arrived at the construction site, they worked except eating, dusting like crazy and never tired of it.
Only ten hours of work, three meals a day with meat, free accommodation, and wages that are much higher than those of workers in other countries who work more than fourteen hours a day. This is so dreamy that it is not like the treatment of Sarkaz. These Sarkaz workers can't wait to jump up one by one, raise their hands and shout, "Talulah Kaka, loyal!!!"
If anyone is still lazy in this situation, they will probably be slapped twice by their own people first.
Chapter 194: The remnants of the nobles who plotted to cause trouble, Giant Wendigo is ready to appear
While the Sarkazs who were dispatched from Kazdel were busy dusting off the dust, on the other side, in the palace of Londinium, Talulah received a special piece of information.
"According to reports from citizens of the empire, it has recently been discovered that a number of aristocratic remnants suspected of being the former Victoria are operating in a border city near the border area between the empire and Leithanien?"
Looking at the information in front of him, Talulah thought for a moment.
"Do these remnants of the former Victoria nobles want to sneak into Leithanien?"
Since the bloodline of the former Victoria royal family member Aslan was almost extinct, the eight Dukes had their own thoughts. Therefore, before being taken over by Talulah, the Victoria as a whole was in a state of independence among the large and small nobles and warlords in various places.
After Talulah came to power, in order to regain their rights, these former Victoria nobles with criminal records were naturally liquidated one by one.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for some remaining minor nobles to want to run away to other countries. Talulah is actually not surprised by this. At first glance, the information in front of him is just a normal report, and there is not much to worry about.
The only problem is probably that the nobles gathered in the border cities move too frequently, and the number seems to be abnormal. Maybe they choose to go together in order to take care of each other?
"Perhaps, they actually had no intention of running away at all? After all, if they were just fleeing, there would be no need to stay at the border for so long."
Just listen to An Xiu next to Talulah speak.
"That makes sense."
Hearing this, Talulah nodded.
Indeed, after An Xiu's reminder, Talulah immediately realized what kind of virtue these former Victoria nobles were. Both An Xiu and Talulah knew very well. Based on the nature of this group of nobles, if they were simply fleeing, someone would probably take care of them and run away as soon as they arrived at the border, and they would not stop at all.
And since this group of aristocratic remnants not only did not leave, but actually gathered together deliberately, it can only mean that they are not fleeing at all, but are plotting some conspiracy.
If you don't pay attention to this information, wait for a while for this group of aristocratic remnants to achieve their goals and then hide them, they might actually be ignored accidentally.
"Probably for their own benefit, they plan to unite with outsiders to harm An Xiu's empire. In the end, the behavior of those guys is no different from the Family of Sicily. They are all equally disgusting."
Lapland, who was sitting next to An Xiu, spoke disdainfully. Regarding this kind of idiot who has unrealistic illusions about himself and can neither recognize his enemy nor himself, it will make people sick no matter where he puts it.
"After all, there is a saying that goes, the world is as dark as crows."
After hearing what Lapland said, An Xiu reached out and stroked the dog next to him, enjoying the pleasure of petting the dog while casually echoing it.
"By the way, be careful about what you just said. Don't say it in front of outsiders. After all, the emperor of the empire is Ata, and this country is also Ata's country."
"Yes, yes, the country is hers, and we are yours."
Lapland bluntly helped An Xiu add.
"Well, I think now is the time to discuss business matters. Can you please ask Miss Lapland to send some Shadow Moon Canglang over to investigate the situation."
After realizing that there was a problem with the group of nobles gathered at the border, Talulah originally planned to take action immediately. However, although Wendigo Legion has strong combat power, it is not good at sneak investigations. Imperial Assassination Squad can take over this task, but in terms of strength and efficiency, it is definitely not as good as Shadow Moon Canglang under Lapland.
Of course, there is actually a better choice, and that is the Shadow Troopers in the hands of An Xiu. When it comes to sneak investigations, Shadow Troopers is definitely the best, but in terms of combat ability, it is weaker than the modified numerical monsters like Shadow Moon Canglang and Wendigo.
