Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Time passed, and soon there was only one minute left for discussion. Representatives from various countries accelerated the pace of the discussion.

At this moment, Xi Yao and Prism were also discussing... However, they were looking at the Book of Terra together, and the content of their discussion seemed a little different?

"By the way, I made a Prism Knife for you." As he said this, Xi Yao turned the Book of Terra to the introduction page of the rogue weapon - the Prism Knife, and put the book next to the prism.

Prism looked down at the introduction of the Prism Knife: "But... it seems that it is useless now. For single attack, I have Cobalt Kunai, and for group attack, I have Tranquility Boomerang."

"But its comprehensive ability is very strong. It has a strong effect on both single and group attacks. Can it be used in normal times?"

"It seems possible... and because of the emergence of the Star Plague Land, maybe it can be upgraded again." Prism said casually.

...Yes, other delegations are discussing it, and they are also discussing it, there is nothing wrong with it...

However, while others were discussing the authenticity of the Jungle Empire's Ancient Saint Gold Source Battle Armor and some other international issues, they were discussing the issue of "weapons"...

The reason for doing this is that since the two of them had no intention of speaking at all, there was no need to discuss it. They could just wait for others to speak and then combine the information and finally come to their own conclusions.

...Soon, the countdown ended. Olney looked around the venue and said slowly:

"... Well, everyone, now it's time for each delegation to speak. If you want to speak, please press the button on your desk. We have a rule that whoever presses the button first gets to speak."

As soon as Olney finished speaking, a member of the national delegation pressed the button quickly, and a beam of white light shone on him. Then he stood up and walked to the podium calmly.

After going on stage, the man pulled the microphone out of the stand, held it in his hand, and pulled out the long cord.

Then he looked at the Inastan delegation: "...I would like to ask the Inastan Kingdom, can you ensure that what you just said, or every word from beginning to end, is...true?"

Hearing this, one person from the Inastan delegation could no longer sit still. He stood up and pointed at the person on the rostrum and was about to start scolding him...

"Qilin!!! Sit down!!!" Charles shouted majestically. Even without a microphone, his voice formed a clear echo in the conference hall.

"...Please...please be patient. What I said makes sense." The man stuttered for a moment before speaking.

"After all...if you, Inastan, completely falsified the contents of this chip to induce all of our countries and regions to regard the Jungle Empire as an enemy, then you can just sit and wait for a world war to break out, and then reap the aftermath and eventually become the only country on the Terra continent."

This person's analysis was well-founded and even incited many people to agree with him.

Although this statement made some sense, Xi Yao immediately denied this person's statement in her heart after hearing it. Then she looked at the prism again and shook her head.

Then, the man took a deep breath and looked at Charles: "Then... please tell me?"

There was no change on Charles' face, he just looked into the man's eyes calmly...but the man felt as if he was being stared at by a hungry black panther.

Charles stood up, walked up to the podium, snatched the microphone and reinserted it into the stand, then looked at the man:

"At a large conference, the microphone cannot be unplugged from the stand at will. Mr. Spokesperson, don't you even understand this principle?"

After that, Charles didn't wait for the man to speak, he continued: "Oh, by the way, I would like to ask, which delegation are you a member of? What's your name?"

After that, Charles moved the microphone to the man's mouth. The man was silent for a moment, and then said the name of a weak country with a low sense of existence: "... Ocalan... Timias of the United States..."

Charles heard this and shook his head slightly: "A weak country is a weak country... Not only is its national strength weak, but it has remained in the middle and late stages of the Terran Era for more than a hundred years. The IQ of its leaders is also quite low."

Charles looked solemnly at the meeting hall and said, "Everyone, if we, Inastan, really want to incite all countries and regions to hate the Jungle Empire, then just now, I can say:

The Jungle Empire may indeed have millions of sets of Holy Gold Source Battle Armor, and then you can just make up a bunch of Jungle Empire conspiracies. But I didn't, and instead told you that it's best not to believe it, just to keep the flame of international peace burning."

"Besides, if we, Inastan, want to become the only country on the Terra continent, we can do it through a smokeless economic war. There is no need to use a military war. After all, it will take a long time to recover after a military war."

What Charles said was true. With Inastan's economic capabilities, he could completely abandon morality, disregard his reputation, and directly monopolize the issuance of a country's currency without any reason; or if he sees a country that he is unhappy with, he could sanction its economy; if he has nothing to do, he could also create some inflation that would not affect his own country.

But Inarstein didn't do that.

At this point, some people may ask, "Well, you said that the economy of Inastan is so strong, so why not just monopolize the economy of the Jungle Empire? Wouldn't that solve the God-Seeking War?"

...I can only say that Inastan would not do such a thing without reason. After all, the Jungle Empire's God-seeking War only took place in the northwest of the Terra continent. For Inastan, which is located in the south, it posed no threat and did not cause any losses.

Moreover, Inastan is only a neutral country and cannot join the war at will or form an alliance with countries or regions where war is ongoing.

Therefore, Inastan has been waiting for the day when the Jungle Empire will inflict losses on them, so that they will have a reason to send troops to the Jungle Empire or launch an economic war.

...In short, in a sense, Inastan is the strongest country in the Terra continent.

As for why the Jungle Empire ranks first, it is only because its monarch: Godseeker Yharim is a demigod.

After hearing what Charles said, people in the meeting hall were talking about it, but they were not talking about the content of Charles' speech, but the ridicule of the delegation of the United States of Ocalan. Among them was the person who just responded to Timias.

His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book... Is this a continental meeting... Prism thought with some disappointment. Then she turned her head to look at Xi Yao and found that he was looking down at the synthetic materials of the Ancient Saint Gold Source Battle Armor.

(Interlude: Due to the world view, the materials for synthesizing the Ancient Saint Gold Source Battle Armor on the Terra Continent are the same as those in the game. However, the synthesis method of the synthetic materials, that is, the synthesis method of the three sets of battle armor, has made some necessary changes... The author has something to say about the details.

Also, a more detailed analysis of the worldview has been added to the end of the preface to the first chapter. Friends who still don’t understand the worldview can go back and read it.)

"The Moon Sorrow Period..." Xi Yao muttered this word, then slowly closed the Book of Terra, placed it on his thigh, and then looked at Charles on the podium. He obviously didn't notice that the prism was looking at him just now.

"Okay, everyone, this is our explanation of the contents of the chip. Believe it if you believe it." Charles said, and reached out to pat Timias on the back.

The latter was suddenly patted by Charles, and he trembled all over. Then he lowered his head tremblingly and was about to say something, when Charles suddenly smiled and said.

"Anyway, under such a problem, you can still consider whether our information is fake. Although you are very concerned, you are indeed cautious, which is not entirely a bad thing.

Moreover, now is the Evil Age, and I believe that your country will be able to enter the Evil Age under your leadership."

"...Thank...thank you..." Timias said flatteredly, then he quickly walked into the venue and sat back in his seat.

Charles walked down from the podium, and then Olney walked to the microphone and coughed lightly: "Ahem, then, shall we continue the discussion?"

As soon as Olney finished speaking, the delegations immediately pressed the button. The first delegation to press the button sent someone to the stage and expressed their views on the content of the meeting.
