Doomsday Code

Chapter 52: Opportunities in Danger

Seeing Huidun's somewhat decadent and distressed look, Chen Cheng knew that he had faced up to his current situation.

To be honest, seeing Huidun collapse because of his words, Chen Cheng felt like he was a little abnormal.

However, these are all objective facts. The place where he is studying now and the Kekeber family he depends on are all under his jurisdiction. Chen Cheng does not really want to let him go down a path of no return.

When the time comes to settle accounts, small nobles like Kekeber who are dependent on him will be the first to be cleared out.

By then, his promise to Finnel to protect her for life might not be fulfilled, because he knew that the fate of the fallen and liquidated little nobles was not good.

If Huidun knew what Chen Cheng was thinking, he would probably not be able to hold back and curse.

So you are helping me here just to fulfill your promise to a little girl. How can a great earl like me be so shameless?

He sat down next to Huidun, patted his shoulder and said:

"Although the current situation is extremely critical, this crisis also presents opportunities."

Chen Cheng stopped after saying some rather abstruse words. He had to know the real thoughts in the earl's heart.

After all, once some things are done, certain labels can never be removed, and you can only go down this path.

Huidun is the leader on this road, and he must know Huidun's true inner thoughts and whether he can persevere no matter how many difficulties lie ahead.

Huidun looked at the serious expression on the somewhat childish face in front of him.

At this moment, he felt that what he saw was not just a genius boy with extraordinary talent, but a mentor and a king.

His expression seemed to be asking him what he should do and what he wanted to do.

It was as if as long as he expressed his ideas, the person in front of him would definitely be able to help him succeed.

Shaking these thoughts out of his mind, the childish face still appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the collar on his neck under this young face is constantly reminding him that the person in front of him is not a mentor or a king, he is just a slave.

Or an extremely evil slave.

But so what if he was a slave? In the eyes of those people, he was probably even worse than a slave.

Thinking about the subordinates who followed him, he wondered what would happen to them and their families if he failed.

Even if he is a slave, as long as he can assist me and give me advice.

As long as he ascends to that position, the young man in front of him will be his prime minister and his general.

Who will be lower and nobler then?

At this moment, Huidun's heart has never been so determined. He is determined to reach that position and tell everyone that no one is born humble and deserves to die.

He could become king because of a royal scandal, and a slave in front of him could also become prime minister.

Huidun calmed down, suppressed the excitement that had just arisen in his heart, and then looked at Chen Cheng sincerely and said:

"Please teach me, Brown."

Looking at his determined eyes, Chen Cheng knew what the Earl was thinking. Since he was able to stick to this path, it would be fine for him, Chen Cheng, to be the military strategist.

This alchemist crisis can be said to have pushed Huidun into a dead end. Since it is a dead end, he, the dog-headed military advisor, will come up with some dog-headed ideas. Even if he fails in the end, it can be regarded as fate.

“What I told you before was the most dangerous of the crises. It can be said that if we take a wrong step, death will be waiting for us.

Of course, if I don’t leave, I will definitely die.”

Chen Cheng's words made Huidun feel very disappointed.

"And amid this crisis there is also a ray of opportunity."

"The first point is to make the seriousness and danger of this incident clear and not to exaggerate.

Then, you should transfer the credit for the outcome of the matter if you can. No matter what excuse you use, the greatest credit for defeating the alchemist and saving the Wisdom Shield territory cannot go to you or the people related to you.

For example, Jamil and the Governor of the Western Territory, just don't impose them on yourself.

Jamil wrote about how well he was at defending the city and how orderly he organized his personnel.

As for the Governor of the Western Territory, weren't Como and his legion who died before under his command? So he wrote about the bravery and fearlessness of Como's legion. Because of their bravery and fearlessness of sacrifice, Huidun City finally had time to organize its defense.

Of course, it would be best to follow up with some words of compliment to His Majesty the King, such as without His Majesty the King’s wise and powerful protection, we would not be able to survive this crisis and so on.

Give some of these credits to His Majesty the King.

The second point is to cry and make a big fuss about all the losses in the entire territory. In short, it is best to make people know about it so that they will think that Huidun City is now in ruins, with no one living within ten miles and no roosters crowing within a hundred miles.

You cannot cry about this directly in a formal document to the king, as that would make you seem unserious.

This cry is to the eldest princess, in the form of a family letter. No matter how much it costs, this letter must be sent to Kyoto together with the official documents.

Of course, the crying technique in this book also needs to be changed. It should start with filial piety and then be revealed inadvertently. "

After hearing what Chen Cheng said, Hui Dun nodded, but he still said unwillingly:

"That old guy Jamil came to this godforsaken place called Huidun City just to deal with me. I can't bear to give him all the credit this time."

However, Chen Cheng smiled strangely and said:

"My Lord Earl, I am an upright man. Bishop Jamil is the one who organized the defense of the city, and he was the one who contributed the most to the destruction of the undead."

Huidun wanted to say something, but seeing how serious Chen Cheng was, and how so many people had seen Jamil defending the city before, he didn't know what to say.

However, Huidun didn't know that Chen Cheng had dug a big pit for Jamil and the church behind him, and Huidun had to rely on this big pit if he wanted to truly develop.

However, Chen Cheng did not want to explain this matter to Huidun, because some things were better for him to understand himself.

Because he would be the king in the end, Chen Cheng didn't want to support a king who only knew how to obey.

That is not only irresponsible to him, but also to yourself and everyone else.

"And these two points are for you to deal with the plan above. I believe that if you use these two points well, a batch of construction funds will be approved, and your image in the heart of His Majesty the King will also improve.

To truly develop one's own power, one needs to rely on the word "borrowing". "

However, when Huidun was listening attentively, Chen Cheng suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Chen Cheng with a puzzled look and asked:

"Then how do you borrow it?"

However, Chen Cheng said with some embarrassment on his face:

"The development of this matter is often not determined by personal will. This borrowed word requires waiting for the development of the matter after the above two points."

At this time, Huidun felt that Chen Cheng was not fooling him, but was helping him in a down-to-earth manner.

Because some things become false if they are exaggerated.

He hugged Chen Cheng excitedly, then took out his letter paper and started writing again.

Seeing him like this, Chen Cheng also retreated carefully, but after he went out he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had just scared Hui Dun, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to death.

In fact, it’s not that Chen Cheng doesn’t know how to borrow the money, but some things are better to be still before they become clear.

After leaving Huidun's room, Chen Cheng came to the college square. It was bustling with activity here, with many instructors and students using magic to repair the broken square.

This crisis also made Chen Cheng realize how destructive the power of a lawless magician is.

If it weren't for Principal Adolf's shield magic circle diagram and the unstable variable magic he created, the entire Huidun City would have been massacred because of such an alchemist.

It was also because of this crisis that Chen Cheng realized that his variable magic also had its limitations. It was very dangerous to forcibly use this variable magic with magic patterns that he was not clear about.

And this time, the engraving of the magic circle also made Chen Cheng discover a bug in his variable magic. The magic circle that could have lasted until the end without collapsing collapsed on its own after running out of energy after half a day.

If a large number of magical objects had not been used in advance as carriers of the patterns, the entire academy would have been blown up to the sky.

Chen Cheng came to the somewhat depressed Finier, and seeing that she looked a little depressed, he asked:

"Who made you angry, young lady?"

Finier kicked the gravel at her feet and said:

"It's all those guys. We were the ones who protected them, so why are they flattering Coles?

And the principal said that the mountain giant who showed up at the end was the big guy next to Coles. If he hadn't run away for no reason, you wouldn't have been hurt by that mysterious man in the end."

Hearing that Finier was still angry because of his injury, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

At this time, Melinda came to his side and asked in a concerned tone:

"How is your arm? I was a little busy before and just used a small healing spell. Don't move for now while I check you out."

Chen Cheng also smiled and said:

"You'd better save your magic power. I'm strong and healthy, and the minor injuries have healed long ago. I hope you are not injured on the city wall."

Melinda ignored Chen Cheng's words and used the detection technique to check Chen Cheng's body before she felt relieved.

"You might as well come and help me heal my wounds instead of checking up a slave here."

At this time, the three of them heard Isabel's somewhat harsh and sour words.

Finier turned her head and looked at Isabel angrily:

"Teacher Ishabel, what right do you have to say that about Brown? He was the one who killed most of the zombies that charged at us.

But you got hurt because of Coles's little brat, you should go to the magician of Baron William's house instead of letting Teacher Melinda waste her magic power to help you."

The little girl Finier was furious about Coles' matter, and she exploded when she heard Isabelle say this.

Isabel looked at Finier and then at Melinda beside Chen Cheng, then curled her lips and said:

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true. You, a young lady, really have other thoughts about the little slave around you."

Her words made Finel's face turn red. Fortunately, no one noticed them, otherwise Finel would be so embarrassed.

Chen Cheng's expression also changed. Although Isabel came out to save him at the last moment, her words now were an insult to Finier.

Although Chen Cheng didn't care about his slave status, Finier, as a noble lady living in this world, couldn't help but care.

Melinda on the side was also a little unhappy. She knew that Isabel did this to dispel the strange thoughts in her heart about Chen Cheng, but she was also a little annoyed that she hurt another person's heart for her own sake.
