What did you do with the dice?

Sanitita cast a Silence spell on Rusalka, silencing him manually. "Mr. Crown, he was just joking. Don't take it personally. This business is also illegal in the Pearl Tear Territory. Since you don't understand, I won't make a fuss about it. I only mention this because we plan to send Vishas back."

Clown nodded and immediately fell silent. "You say, you say, sending it back is fine. Our Chamber of Commerce also provides escort and shipping services. Do you need it?"

Rusalka, who was shrouded in silence, suddenly spoke up, "What are you doing? I haven't promised to pay it back yet!"

Damn, Sanita remembered that although Rusalka's [Eel Transformer] could not remove his own magic, it could remove the 10-second [Silence] effect in a cycle, which was equivalent to a single range control effect that was useless to Rusalka.

Sanita ignored Rusalka's protests and continued, "My question is this: Garces entered the sea and massacred the Kingdom of Lament, leaving only Weishas. This is one of the reasons."

"The war between the Sea Clan and Esterlun this year was triggered by a conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Mermaids. This is the second reason."

"Based on the above two points, it doesn't seem that the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan is very good."

Clown spread his hands and said, "Your Excellency, Grand Mage, I've only been trading for a short time, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you are. However, I do know a little bit about business. It's not about how much money you shout, but how much you finally get in return that counts as profit. The Sea Clan and the Dragon Clan are in such a big conflict, but Dragon Island is right in the middle of the ocean. Why, knowing it was the Dragon Clan who did it, didn't they go looking for trouble on Dragon Island, which is easy to find, but instead chose to force their way ashore to deal with Esterlun?"

"As for Garces, I don't know much about this matter, but from what I know, since the Sea Clan didn't seek an explanation from Dragon Island, it must mean that both parties have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Although dragon disease is uncontrollable, it is absolutely safe on Dragon Island. If Garces is a dragon living on Dragon Island, then the dragons on Dragon Island all obey the Dragon Mother. His going to the sea must not be just his own will, but the Dragon Mother must have interfered."

Rusalka was quite surprised. After not seeing him for a long time, she didn't expect that Crown's intelligence had improved a lot. "You know quite a lot, don't you?"

Sanita: (This is the power of knowledge.)

Rusalka disagreed: (Haha, it's just a meal replacement. The power of knowledge can never replace real power.)

See, this is what happens when you don't have knowledge.

The more I read, the more I feel that I am just a drop in the ocean. If I don’t read, I will be the king of the world.

Clown sighed. "You're too kind. As the saying goes, a journey of thousands of miles is worth reading a thousand books. Our Chamber of Commerce also does business with the Sea Clan and the Dragon Clan. I've been searching for information all night long."

To be honest, Crown has experienced a lot and realized that his life and expectations have shifted. He now misses the time when he ran for nearly a year and almost broke his legs for a few gold coins, but felt extremely happy and fulfilled. He also misses the time when he just joined the Doug Chamber of Commerce and thought that he would start to live a carefree life from that day on, and once he made enough money, he would quit and never go into business again.

And now? In just five and a half years, he had properties all over the world, more money than he could spend in several lifetimes, and even a seat at the Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to the Lord of Pearl Tears, he had considerable influence. Most people he met greeted him proactively. Even Alros, the former branch president, now had to address him respectfully as "Mr. Crown."

He took each step higher, but felt more tired day by day.

He has walked too far on this road and has forgotten the shabby little cart he used to ride on when he set out, as well as the old horse (donkey) that pulled the cart. The only thing that keeps him company is probably his inherent fear of death, which makes him feel that he has not changed much from the past, which is really sad.

Maybe after I finish this deal, I should find a girl nearby to marry. Pearl Tear Colliery is pretty good for marriage, with tax-free access to everything. I'll never have to go to distant merchants again, and can just wander around and show my face. With so much money on hand, I'll just splurge on it, take my girl on a trip, buy everything we eat, and choose the best hotels and food.

I also need to pay a visit to Esidi Cathedral. I've always wanted to go but have been too busy to find the time. I'll ask for a mercury amulet to ward off evil spirits. Mercury seems to be in high demand lately, given the rumors of a demonic invasion. The city of Morillas, south of Snidi, is rich in mercury. Selling it to the Aiel Empire in exchange for rune stones, which I can then sell back in Snidi, is the most profitable. So, I'll need to plan my itinerary. First, I'll take my wife southwest...

Sanita's voice interrupted Crown's thoughts: "Okay, I'll take these. How much are you?"

"No, no, these are for you."

Rusalka: "I'm so sorry."

Clown waved his hand. "Well, that's not right. We didn't have time to prepare the gifts to celebrate our victory, so these are just to make up the number. I won't give you any extras. I'll make it up to you next time you return triumphant."

Sanita didn't hesitate and took the box directly.

Rusalka sighed: (The world is treacherous these days. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I never thought that my brother, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, would actively seek out middlemen to facilitate his dealings, in order to drag me into the business with him.)

Every word of his words is correct, but when read together, it can cause the pharmaceutical factory that produces low blood pressure to close down.

Rusalka: (Battleship carrier Pearl Tear Fish reports, are you my commander? Let's open fire during the enemy's turn!)

Sanita: (Okay.)

Rusalka: (Then I have to ask Maomao to design a terrible animation for me when I get back. Hurry up, I’m in a hurry to get into the canal.)

After hearing this, Sunitieta put down the cup of milk tea he had just raised: Brother, I feel a little sick and can't drink this milk tea anymore.

Clown continued, "If you two are going to the Kingdom of Elegy, you must be careful. It seems to be closed off recently. Outsiders are not very welcome there, and even trade is strictly restricted."

Sanita: "Is it because the eldest princess disappeared?"

Clown shook his head. "No, the princess has been found, but I heard she's currently in seclusion analyzing the secrets of the stone tablet, and no one is allowed to disturb her. I'm afraid something big has happened in the sea, and the world is about to change."

Rusalka: (Isn’t the eldest princess Weishasi? She’s doing well in the Pearly Tear Territory now, how come another one popped up?)

However, Sanita's first reaction was definitely not that the other party was a fake, but that he was the substitute.

Sanita: (Perhaps the one in the sea is the true mermaid, and this Vesas is a water elemental clone she created with the power of the Sea God. That makes sense.)

Rusalka: (No, I want the mistress to take over!)

Sanita: (Isn’t that how you’re supposed to use this word?)

But is there any contradiction between the Kingdom of Elegy's isolation and my desire to enter?

Rusalka didn't think so at all. After all, he had always supported the opening of international markets and was committed to this cause: (You mean we need to break through by force, right? Prepare the explosive devices. If you shout the effect, I'll explode. Open the door, free trade!)

The brother was quite sensible, so he could prevent Sanita from finding excuses to trick him into going down to fight and gain experience points.

He enjoys playing and he is happy to level up. It’s great, a win-win situation.

Chapter 393 Meeting Time

The Council of the True Gods opens again.

【Taurus】: The dragon believed by the goddess of wealth

【Gemini】: Rusalka

【Virgo】: Theresa

【Libra】: Sanshui Xinyu

Aquarius: Weir

Capricorn: Unknown

Only six left.

Theresa's outfit today is a mermaid from the sea, but her mermaid style is slightly different from Vishas's. Although her appearance is retained, such as the fins on her arms and feet, all other unnecessary non-original body parts are not retained - such as clothes.

She only used her long hair and scales to cover her key parts, which gave her a kind of elusive temptation. Rusalka was quite interested in her at first, but unfortunately the only flaw was the color. When she saw that her hair color was still the original golden color, she immediately felt that most of the charm was gone.

Why isn't it light blue? It's hard for me to relate to you like this!

The essence of cos is to be like, you golden-haired mermaid, come to the Western fantasy set. Rusalka, the classic two-spined newt, would definitely not approve of this European and American aesthetic, and can only be viewed from the perspective of appreciating art.

Sanita: (So how did you originally view it?)

Rusalka: (This question is quite difficult to answer. You have to wait for my smurf account to log in before I can answer you.)

However, the number of people here was decreasing, and it felt like everyone was about to die. However, she acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled calmly at the group of people present and said, "Then, let's begin the meeting."

Aquarius Weir was the first to open the topic, going straight to the question on everyone's mind: "Pisces is dead."

She paused, then smiled and said, "He was a member of the Azure Heart Kingdom's royal family. However, he was tricked by King Nohat of the Elegy Kingdom. He was lured to his kingdom's palace and killed, and his power of faith was taken away."

Theresa, who was more concerned about this than Rusalka, was the first to ask her, "Won't this lead to war?"

Come to think of it, she also lacks the blessing of the sea god and is a true messenger of the end. Her prey has been hunted away by others, so she must be concerned about where the spoils have been taken.

Weier shook her head. "As long as Princess Weishas of the Elegy Kingdom is here, other countries won't dare to take action against it. At most, they'll be angry but not speak out. They'll give some compensation and find a scapegoat to explain themselves. Just for the sake of showing their respect."

Rusalka: "But Vishas isn't in the Kingdom of Elegy, right?"

Weier thought for a moment and gave a very strange answer: "Yes and no."

Rusalka almost subconsciously wanted to take out her greatsword and walk over to hit her on the head, but she stopped herself.

He thought about it. Although the God of Truth was a bad guy from the perspective of his faction, objectively speaking, He gave him the first blessing for free, provided him with a free communication and trading platform, helped him get through the early stage, and collected top-secret intelligence that he might not be able to collect in this lifetime. All things about Him were good things, and He was a great good god in Rusalka's subjective opinion.

Just ask your neighbor, the self-proclaimed good guy, Light, what did he give Rusalka? The blessing was a reward for his work. If there was any gift at all, giving him a rival, Teresa, to keep him motivated to become stronger, would be considered a favor, right?

So, even though Rusalka felt his Holy Slash was now capable of splitting the black fog, breaking the constraints of the Council of the God of Truth and harming the Riddler here, he still gave the God of Truth a favor and decided not to cause trouble here. He'd wait and see if I could whip you, the Riddler, with my copper-headed leather belt until you spun like a top and that was it.

Rusalka expressed her dissatisfaction with the Riddler Weir in her own way: "Please use the correct Murloc language."

"what?"

"I mean, you might as well explain it in more detail."

"Before her death, Vishas's mother, Amelie, transferred her blessing to her. However, Vishas herself couldn't withstand such a powerful force, and her true body was sealed beneath the stone tablet. She borrowed the power of the sea god, Leviathan, to separate her consciousness into a clone, which roamed the outside world. Now her clone is outside, while her true body is in the Kingdom of Weeping, so the situation is ambiguous."

"But I heard she woke up recently?"

"Well, this matter isn't important, but I think there's a deal that Mr. Gemini would be very interested in."

"What deal?"

Weier asked the God of Truth to establish a separate private chat channel and said to Rusalka, "Do you want to obtain the power of faith of the Sea God Leviathan?"

Rusalka: (Brother, do you want to obtain the power of faith from the Sea God Leviathan?)

Sanita: (Let’s first listen to her conditions.)

Rusalka: (Let me make it clear first, fish are not tradable items.)

Sometimes, Sanita feels that communicating with his brothers is quite tiring: (Can you ask first?)

Rusalka then asked, "What are the conditions?"

Weier smiled and said, "Bring Weisha back and ask her to help us activate the stone tablet. Then lend us the key in your hand."

Obviously, for some reason, they could not activate the stone tablet even with the power of Pisces' faith and the power that Vishas left at home.

From a certain perspective, Poseidon's anti-theft work is quite good. Unlike the artifacts of several other gods, anyone can use it as long as they have a little power of faith or are willing to pay a price.

Rusalka frowned. "But that key can only be used to open the Demon Gate. Do you want to use it to summon demons?"

Weier: "Don't worry, Mr. Gemini. After this is accomplished, no matter what happens, you will be a guest of honor in the Kingdom of Elegy. As you know, it has long been recorded in history that demons are completely unable to fight in the sea. The cold water will take away the warmth of their blood and make their flames a joke. Then you can sit back and study the power of faith in the sea without any worries. If you are worried about us breaking the contract, we can swear on the contract that we will never interfere with your research."

Rusalka was puzzled. Why were there so many people in the world who wanted to summon demons? "What about my territory?"

Wei'er: "I understand. To pure magic researchers like you and me, those are just external possessions. If you need personnel to cooperate with your research, or require a laboratory and environment for research, the Kingdom of Elegy will prepare everything for you, larger and more perfect. You can take any assets on earth that you can, and if you can't, you can discard them. Again, all of this can be written down in the contract."

But the God of Nature has already found a way to crack the contract. This is the so-called broken window effect. If one person can violate the contract without being punished, the credibility of the contract will plummet. Everyone will be in danger and wonder if this thing will betray them one day.

Rusalka snorted, "But I refuse."

He had seen too many self-confident men and women who thought they could deal with demons. The great elder of the elves, Huafalin, believed that the Forest of Elf would have the last laugh, so he wanted to summon demons to carry out a massacre, while he hid in the Forest of Elf to collect vitality and then mass-produce elves to counterattack.

Jiuwei Yushang of the El Empire responded to the call of the God of War. In order to help him win, he wanted to summon demons to fight with him, presumably to gain war contribution points.

In order to test whether his imperfect system would blossom into better virtues and merits amidst destruction, the Eight Mansions of Esterlun wanted to summon the devil to bring about a magnificent destruction.

Now even the sea people want to summon demons, and the reason is unknown, but they are definitely playing a big game, and it may be contrary to the wishes of the sea god, because they want Vishas to go back and help activate the artifact left by the sea god, but the space ritual on Estelon's side proves that as long as the gods are willing, they can actually provide assistance through partial interference.

Theresa probably also wanted to summon a demon, who was an orthodox messenger of the end. If I were to put myself in her shoes, I would probably complain about the fierce competition among peers and how her job was done by so many powerful people that she now had no sense of existence. She had no conflicts with Rusalka and she even liked her more and more.

Rusalka said proudly: (Actually, considering our seniority as disciples of the End, Theresa would have to respectfully call me "Junior Brother." If we hadn't both joined the Demon Sect and intrigued each other to obtain the complete inheritance of the End, she would have doted on me, her only fellow disciple, according to common sense in the novels. By the way, I basically only read the forum moderator's articles on immortal cultivation.)

Sunny Tower: (Sometimes I really feel that it’s a bit unfair to let you be treated like a human. Earth OL should charge you for the internet fee.)

Although their idea of ​​using demons is very good, Sanitieta's comment is "If I were to stand in their perspective, there is really no other way. Demons may be the only way to break the deadlock at the moment."

But the fact is, they can't even deal with themselves and their good brothers. Rusalka just regarded such words as bragging. If they really summoned the devil, no one would be ready. What if the world was destroyed?

You should know that the "World Destruction Degree" entry in Rusalka's "End" series of abilities is not just a "strengthening condition". In Sanitita's opinion, the deeper meaning may be hinting to him that once the world's destruction process reaches the corresponding percentage, the forces of [End] will probably get a more terrifying collective bonus. In addition to being a god of war, his task should also be to prevent his teammates from dying too quickly.

Therefore, it is not completely unreasonable for the Seven Sins Agents to choose to entrust the key to the "hero they created". According to the current situation, even if you give the key to a strong cat like Hydra, she will probably not survive long and will be killed by everyone who wants to open the Devil's Gate. There is really no safe place in the world.

Seeing Rusalka's displeasure, Wei'er didn't feel angry or disappointed. After all, this was within her bargaining limit, so she raised the price: "After the matter is completed, we can also give you Weishas's body under the stone tablet."

Rusalka's attitude, which had been firm at first, softened instantly: "Well..."

Sanita: (Humanity is beginning to be suppressed by the little head, right?)

Rusalka was almost gritting her teeth in her heart, but she still resolutely chose to refuse: "No, there is no room for negotiation about the key and Weishas, ​​but everything else can be discussed."

Seeing Rusalka's refusal to agree, Weir, who only wanted the key, stopped pretending: "As the messenger of the end, why don't you want the demon army to descend?"

"Miss Aquarius Naga Mage, is there a possibility that I'm not actually the Messenger of the End? Okay, I know you definitely don't believe it, but taking a step back, demons are the public enemy of the world. Their purpose of existence is to destroy us. Why would you, a creature living in the main plane, help them? What benefits would it bring to you?"

Although she thought it was a bit absurd that the messenger of the end who wanted to destroy the world was now talking to her about the great principles of love and peace, Weier certainly would not honestly reveal everything to Rusalka: "If you agree to cooperate, I will tell you."

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore. Also, that power of faith is the betrothal gift Weishas gave me. You have no right to take it. She's going to bring it back to the big family of Pearl Tear Territory. Do you understand the principle of sacrificing your own family for the sake of everyone else?"

Weir was stunned by Rusalka's words. She suspected that she had heard it wrong, but Rusalka's tone was so serious that it made her think that "I have lived in the sea for too long and may have lost touch with the language changes on the ground."

Phoenix was absent from the Black Mist, so Rusalka dared to say anything. "Oh, the dowry? I'm going to get it back for her. It's not much anyway. Most people who become citizens of our Pearl Tear Territory would accept 58 gold coins and 8 silver coins as a token of appreciation. Phoenix paid that much back then."

He was referring to the small box full of gold coins that Phoenix had given him.

Rusalka: (That's not right. If you think about it, wasn't this money stolen from the Pearl Tears family's treasury? Damn it, Phoenix actually used my money to pay my betrothal gift. I'm going to have a fight with her after the meeting. Today's fight isn't about trying to make things clear with her, it's just to win and vent my anger.)

Sunny Iron Tower: (She should hang you on the top of the Pearl Tear Territory for a day, so you can bask in the sun and evaporate all the water in your brain. Seriously.)

"But Weishasi is, after all, a princess of your kingdom in this sea, right? Coincidentally, I'm the prince of Pearl Tear Territory. Together, we're called Pearl Tear Elegy. We believe in marrying someone of equal status, and Pearl Tear Territory is hers anyway. So why are you asking for half a kingdom as a dowry? It's not too much, is it?"

Sanita: (Would you like to listen to what you are saying?)
