Time flies, the years are like a song … Alright, not too long, I just wanted to use these two words. Actually, in just two days, Sulfur Mountain City has already regained its peace.
On that day, when all the fugitives and villains who took advantage of the situation were judged, or directly hung in the air by invisible ropes, or simply beheaded in an instant, those villains who had not yet touched the bottom line, or were about to touch the bottom line, found that they had been placed on the invisible guillotine, and immediately stopped their steps of committing crimes.
The chaos didn't last for long. When the enemies were cleared, the judges of the 4 Halls and 1 Courtyard came to maintain order and very quickly, Sulfur Mountain City regained its usual order.
On the other hand, the gigantic Red Dragon, whose body was covered with wounds from the great battle, glided across half of the city and landed heavily in the Holy Light District. When the news that the Guardian God of Sulfur Mountain City, the Ancient Red Dragon Einz Mezus, was severely injured to the point that she needed over a hundred Holy Knights and Priests to treat her, the three heads of the city watched by the side and took the opportunity to get rid of the dissidents naturally fell apart.
On the contrary, under the manipulation of some people, the news of the 3 Heads fighting the two Underground Autarchs and Ein Mezus being heavily injured as a result spread all over the city.
Of course, the true reason behind the Fire Elemental God's seal wouldn't be revealed. On the surface, the reason for the battle was still the usual siege of the Underground City.
The existence of a powerful foreign enemy, an even more powerful Guardian, almost dying, but relying on the Guardian's desperate efforts to survive the calamity, the joy, the pain, and the gratitude. When these conditions and these complex emotions were all present, this city of many different races became even more united during the calamity week.
If one really wanted to find something different, it would be that tomatoes and rotten eggs were all sold out. The reason? The betrayal of the Parliament was exposed and those Parliament members who were sentenced to death by the Miracle of Judgement was the best proof. Now, the main door of the Parliament was covered in tomatoes and rotten eggs and all the windows were broken.
If a few slightly famous Parliament members went out, if they didn't want to leave cleanly and come back with a colorful face, then it would be best to bring a bodyguard and a door to attract the firepower.
There were more than three hundred casualties in this catastrophe, but the dead had passed away and the murderers had been executed. The victims and their families now had a target to vent their resentment. The fruit stalls in front of the parliament had been sold out, and the society was harmonious. It was a cause for celebration, a cause for celebration …
In fact, at the entrance of the parliament, there were already businessmen who smelled a business opportunity …
"Are you still using the original tomatoes and rotten eggs? Out of date. Gnome Alchemy's Special Stink Bomb, 3 gold coins for one. The stench is strong and will last for a long time. Gnome Color Bomb, 2 gold coins for one. Thirteen colors can be chosen randomly, and each one comes with a color card. Collecting a set will result in a Gnome Engineering Chick! Unlike the Gnomes, our Gnomish engineering is of high quality and reliable. It will never explode, never explode! "
"Gnome Smoke Bomb! Gnome Bomb No.1 to No.7 had guaranteed power and would not kill anyone. It was a must-have item for revenge. Moreover, it was cheap! Only half as good as that sissy Gnome! One gold coin for one! "
"Enough, Rovi Gold Coin of the Hall of Trials, I've tolerated you for too long! You can insult me, but you can't insult the crystallization of wisdom of the Gnome Tribe! "
"Sissy Milhouse Deathstorm from the King's Hall. You were the one who hurt me first. Do you Gnomes have the cheek to insult our Gnome engineering? Yes, your things won't explode, but the additional effects are scarier than an explosion. Do you dare to pat your chest and say that you weren't thrown into the air by your own Gnome Teleportation Device? Didn't you get electrocuted by the Gnome Electric Net? Didn't you get shrunk by the Gnome Death Ray? Your Gnome engineering is just like your name, Deathstorm. Professional at courting death! "
"It's Mana Storm, Mana Storm!!"
Hearing that, the Gnome with the body of a child was enraged.
"Let me have a taste of this!!" He took out an engineering tool that looked like a toy gun and aimed it at Rovi and pulled the trigger. Then …
"Cluck cluck cluck cluck!" An anxious Chick appeared on the spot, and the Poultryizer fell on the ground …
"Hahaha! I told you that your sissy Gnome stuff is not reliable at all! " Pointing at the Chick, Rovi laughed maniacally. He took out three small silver balls from his pocket and played a ball-tossing game like a clown.
Playing with the bombs with his bare hands, but there was no trace of fear. His hands did not tremble in the slightest. Rovi displayed the unique courage of the Gnome Tribe to the audience.
"Look at our miraculous Gnome engineering! We never deny the unpredictability of magical engineering. However, as long as our intelligent Gnomes continue to research and pass it down from generation to generation, Gnome engineering will definitely become more and more advanced! Even if my father and my grandfather die in an accident, I will continue. Furthermore, I believe that even if I fail, for the future of Gnome engineering, my son and grandson will continue to work hard!! "
Ignoring the attacks of the angry Chick, Rovi raised his head and spoke loudly, as though he was ready to sacrifice himself at any time.
The Gnomes' spirit of sacrificing themselves for engineering won the audience's cheers and applause.
"Well said!" There were even people who wanted to buy Rowe's engineering supplies, but Rowe continued to speak.
However, Rovi continued, "When my grandfather died, he only created a 13-meter hole. My father created a 30-meter hole. When I die, I will definitely create a 100-meter hole! We, the Gold Coin Tribe, will definitely research a bomb that can destroy a city!! "
Alright, the Gnome who immediately revealed his true form scared off all the buyers. The audience also took a big step back. Fortunately, they retreated …
"Ah, what is this twisted piece of copper?" The ferocious attack of the Chick finally attracted his attention. Rovi looked at the copper piece that fell from his clothes and revealed a pondering expression. Then, he started sweating profusely …
"The safety screw!!!"
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!!"
"This … This is just a small failure, I won't give up! I … I will be back! "
Alright, after displaying the courage of the Gnome Tribe, he displayed the daily methods of the Gnome Tribe to court death.
Now, after three consecutive explosions, our Gnome engineering merchant flew up into the sky with black smoke. He flew straight up into the sky, but judging from his energetic roar, this was just the beginning ….
Behind the crowd, I witnessed this farce. Then, I turned my head and said to Eliza.
"Now that the situation in the city isn't stable, they can't do as they please. Record this down, the Supreme Court Executive Yuan's order: Next month will be Engineering Crackdown Month. Town Security and Court Hall, get into action. Find a reason to throw these troublemaking dwarves into detention for a month to reflect on themselves. "
"As long as they are Master Engineers, arrest them before searching them. There won't be any mistakes. What if we arrest the wrong person? I will apologize to them personally, alright? Don't worry, just like how there isn't a man who doesn't cheat, there isn't a Gnome who doesn't explode and a Dwarf who doesn't court death. "
"Secondly, are the Beyar Brothers still in detention?"
"Yes, they still have 3 more days before their detention."
Receiving a positive answer, I nodded my head in satisfaction.
"Tomorrow, send them some Engineering components. They definitely won't be able to resist the urge to create explosions in the detention. Then, we will have a reason to lock them up for another month. With the 2 Sulfur Mountain City's top explosive maniacs not fooling around outside, the troublesome Engineering Month will be much easier without a leader. "
After saying that, I turned around and left. The City Lord's Mansion wasn't too far away, but looking at the black magic storm on the ground, I stopped.
"I almost forgot. Thirdly, after Death-Courting Storm recovers from his' fried chicken chop 'state, tell him and Rowe,' Your 2 months of salary is gone. I don't care what you do in private, but the next time you say that you are a member of the Supreme Court and ruin the reputation of the Supreme Court, I will … '"
At this point, I paused. These Dwarves were born with astonishing courage. Explosions and Space Travel were common to them, so what kind of punishment could scare them? I couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
However, Eliza spoke beside my ear.
"Then, let the two of them exchange all of their Engineering tools and finished products. Let the Gnome Engineers use the Dwarf Engineering Tools and let the Dwarf use the Gnome Tools. Force them to create 10 of each other's Engineering Tools. "
Looking at this cold face and hearing this melodious voice, I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Forcing them to use it is worse than killing them. Gnome Engineering and Dwarf Engineering might seem similar, but in reality, from the principles and systems, they are completely different. 10? They might have to build for a lifetime. They even have to use the tools that they hate the most to research the theories that they hate the most. What torture. But … "
I gave her a thumbs up. "Good idea, it is becoming more and more like me."
Cough, back to the main topic. The reason why I chose to walk to the City Lord's Residence was because I wanted to see how Sulfur Mountain City was recovering after the storm. Now that I saw that there was still time for a farce, I felt gratified.
Alright, as the mastermind behind the scenes, I was quite satisfied with the intelligence gathering ability of the 'Observer' and the Sulfur Mountain City Thief Guild. At least, on the surface, nothing had changed.
Yes, it was just on the surface. After the battle, the 2 Underground Autarchs worked together and only the Autarchs managed to escape. The entire army was wiped out. How could there not be any changes to such explosive news?
"Let's get straight to the point. You set up the South Ascension Law Academy and poached people from the Holy Church. In an instant, you expanded the Law System by more than 3 times. What do you intend to do?"
Little Red was still recuperating from her injuries and didn't come. In the City Lord's Residence, Marguerite and Adam were already chatting and drinking tea. Of course, they were also casually sorting out their recent gains. But the moment I sat down, Marguerite started to make things difficult for me.
"Hehe, those little lasses fought to the death this time and risked their lives to protect the citizens. I admire them a lot. I just want them to completely integrate into the legal system. This has been their hope for many years. Don't tell me that you don't know. "
I lifted the bone knife and carefully carved the black wooden staff in my hands.
After the trial ended, I started to be obsessed with wood carving. This is a technical job and I can't afford to be distracted.
"Truth?"
"It's too troublesome, I don't want to say it."
Marguerite shook her head and sat back down. The Lich was always scheming but since he didn't want to say it, it was impossible to get it out no matter what.
Guess it? This fellow's thoughts were abnormally secretive. Many times, he was obviously doing something wrong but in the future, it would become a masterstroke. If he really intended to do something secretly, even the Saint who witnessed the whole process wouldn't be able to guess it.
Marguerite had once asked him this question, but she had received an inexplicable answer.
"Your way of thinking is too direct. Just like the War Demon Chess that you all love to play, the chess players fight for the gains and losses of every chess piece, accumulating small victories to achieve a big victory. It might seem grand but in reality, it is very obvious that you are crafty. It is easy for others to see through it and you end up in a disadvantageous position. As for me, I am a Go expert. My chess pieces are like the stars, I wait patiently and I don't fight for anything. What I do is a dragon. "
"Go? Is there such a game in the world? Could it be a game that has disappeared in history? "Marguerite once asked but Lich Roland kept changing the topic.
"Right, a few days later, I intend to build a branch, the Supreme Court's Chrome City Branch."
Chrome City's City Lord Hng Hng died under the hands of Marguerite's Forbidden Spell during the ambush a few days ago. His Chrome City naturally became ownerless and my intentions were clear.
"No wonder you want to expand? You intend to occupy Chrome City? "
"Of course, it's fine if I don't level up after killing a BOSS. I can bear with it if I don't get any treasures. If I don't even occupy a territory or a few beauties, wouldn't that be too boring? I will just die."
Alright, as usual, they ignored my crazy words. However, what I said was the truth of the mainstream view. However, personally, it is enough for me to live an interesting life. When I have nothing to do, I can tell a joke to myself. When I have something to do, I can make a fuss while working so that everyone can be happy. Isn't it tiring to fight and kill with a straight face every day?
Cough, I seem to have strayed from my words. To be able to say it all in a single breath, your lung capacity must be astounding.
Back to the main topic, I did intend to occupy Kalon City, but it wasn't for the so-called hegemony.
"On one hand, the Power of Law requires more faith. On the other hand, we need more bargaining chips. How do you intend to deal with the trouble of the Underground Alliance?"
Hearing my words, everyone fell silent.
The Underground Alliance Army's counterattack on the surface is the common hope of most of the Underground races. It has already become an established fact. The reason why we were able to defeat the alliance of the two Autarchs is because they received the news that the seal was reinforced and rushed over. They might have even used Teleportation Magic. They only brought a small portion of their guards with them. Compared to their actual strength, it might not even be 11%. At the very least, we didn't see any powerful experts under them.
Even if we are able to defeat the Underground Autarchs, can we defeat the alliance army of tens of thousands of Underground City Lords? I have already learned my lesson. The torrent of 'history' is unstoppable. I thought that I was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot but in the end, I was accidentally crushed by the wheels of the Underground Alliance Army.
When the two Autarchs aren't willing to give up and head back to summon their army, or just bring 300-400 Underground City Lords to fight us head-on, Sulfur Mountain City will probably become a fool trying to stop a chariot. Traces of history — Ruins.
"Let me give a suggestion. Actually, your way of thinking is too rigid. Just because you oppose them starting a war against the surface, do you really have to stand on the opposite side and fight with them? If you are always opposing them in diplomacy, sooner or later, you will be isolated. If you are strong enough, you can walk in at any time, so it doesn't matter. When Anne takes over, the enemies you all offended and the accumulated grudges will explode at the same time. Will she be able to handle it? "
"Then what should we do?" Marguerite has thought about it repeatedly, but there isn't any solution.
"We, join them! Yes, join them. Right now, the top 4 are separated, with half on each side, they are still barely able to maintain a balance. But if another Autarch were to appear, what do you think will happen? "
Adam's face is confused while Marguerite is deep in thought.
"Yes, we barely managed to defeat the two Autarchs, so naturally, we have the right to become an Autarch. Since there are only two Autarchs here, it has already proved that they aren't united internally. Then, if we were to side with them … "
"Yes, the leadership of the Allied Army is a rare commodity."
For some reason, I thought of my faraway hometown. There is a country, a rising power among the 5 Old Strong Countries. As it grew, it kept swaying left and right to reap benefits. It even used the right to abstain from voting to disgust the other countries. In the end, it became the new Autarch.
"Furthermore, I have a huge gift, a gift that can turn the delicate balance in front of us into an unsalvageable mess."
"What?"
"What huge gift?"
I smirk weirdly and place the black wooden staff in my hands on the table.
"God Equipment — Eternal Night Scepter. This is equivalent to the highest God Equipment of the Undead Empire, Xiluo Kingdom. Handmade by Lord Yongye, it is definitely authentic. We are accepting the inspection of the goods. If there are any fakes, the penalty for every fake will be ten times! "
