"So … That's it?"
"More or less."
"But you haven't been able to fully control it yet, have you?"
"I think it's a little difficult, and it's not something that can be done in a decade or two. Anyway, it's with you, and you can't lose it, so I'm not in a hurry. "
"… I'm in a hurry!"
"What are you afraid of? I'm a young man, and I'm not afraid. You're an old man whose hair and beard are almost gone, what's there to be afraid of? "
"I'm afraid of being eaten alive, I'm afraid of death!"
"… Can't you be more particular? After all, you're the leader of the evil gods, can't you have some face? "
"Of course I want face, so how about you give me some face and stay here for a few more years?"
Sui Xiong sighed deeply, feeling very helpless.
An old man who was so old that his chin was buried in dirt, put on such a shameless posture, and it just so happened that the person was asking for help. This kind of thing could be said openly anywhere, so he really couldn't refuse it sternly.
Brother Xiong was a bit amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Of course, if the other party was a detestable person, then he wouldn't be amenable to coaxing or coercion. For example, those who were defeated and became wolves, no matter how pitiful they were, he would only step on them to ensure that they would never have the chance to become wolves again.
However, the Dragon of Chaos was not such a person. Of course, he couldn't be considered a good person, but no matter what he did, he gave people a feeling of straightforwardness and integrity. He was the kind of person who, even if he wanted to find trouble with someone, would do it clearly, not dig traps, not shoot arrows in the dark, and not use despicable means. Even his enemies often had to admit this.
More importantly, he sometimes "gave face" from time to time. As the saying goes, leave a way out for others in the future. The Dragon of Chaos liked to leave a way out, and those who had been given a way by him, no matter how uncomfortable they felt, had to admit this fact.
As for the onlookers, of course, they were even more convinced of his imposing manner.
Sui Xiong was also given face by the Dragon of Chaos. Back in the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess of Harvest, when he rescued those believers, the Dragon of Chaos did not make things difficult for him. Later, when he needed it, she gave him almost all the civil buildings in the God's Kingdom. Even though he had clearly said that he couldn't afford to owe her face, she didn't change her mind.
In this way, even though Sui Xiong didn't agree to it verbally, he had already accepted it in his heart.
On top of that, this time, when he came to look for the Dragon of Chaos to borrow some treasures, the Dragon of Chaos did not try to be unreasonable or threaten him. Instead, the Dragon of Chaos took the gentle route from start to finish. Even if he failed to act pitifully, the Dragon of Chaos was still reasonable and did not have the slightest intention of being domineering.
In the face of such a person, Sui Xiong could not be cold-hearted.
Therefore, in the end, he could not convince the Dragon of Chaos to agree to stay for a few more years.
Of course, because he had already woken up from the state of comprehending the treasure, his avatar in the Divine Kingdom had also regained consciousness. In fact, in most cases, his clones were enough to solve the problem.
After all, he didn't have any particular problem that required combat power to be solved.
He yawned and stretched. The green jellyfish, which was lying on the conference table like an ornament, slowly floated up and recited a poem.
Well, it wasn't something like "* * * * * *", but "Only I know who woke up first in the big dream."
Originally, he wanted to recite "After a good spring sleep in the cottage, the sun outside the window is late." After all, it was one of the few poems in the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he could recite. But after he recited the first two lines, he realized that the conference room was magnificently decorated, so he couldn't recite the remaining two lines.
Alas, Brother Xiong felt that he was not thick-skinned enough. There was no way he could lie through his teeth!
"Yo, you're awake." Morani was studying a strangely shaped long knife. Seeing his actions, he laughed and said, "You've slept for quite a long time."
"It's only ten years. It's not that long."
Morani thought about it and nodded. "Indeed, it's not that long. It's just that you're usually very active, and there's been no movement for ten years in a row. That's why it feels like it's been a long time."
While they were talking, lights flashed in the conference room. One by one, the gods came in one after another. Naturally, they had all heard that Sui Xiong had woken up and had rushed over to greet him.
Of course, the so-called greetings would not last too long. Thus, Sui Xiong quickly regained his peace of mind and began to deal with serious matters.
"Did anything major happen in these few years?" he asked.
The God of Knowledge and Learning, Wall, thought for a moment and said, "The territory of the Republic of Northwest has expanded again."
"Oh? I know that a Double-headed Crane City has joined the Republic. Is there anything else? "Sui Xiong was a little curious.
"There are three more," Wall replied. "First, there's a newly built pioneer town called 'Pit Tree Town.' The town's main income comes from the training of adventurers and the rental of various necromancy adventuring tools. The mayor cum consul is Miss Tessa Tu Ya 'an … the sister of the legendary necromancer, Mr. Tu Ya' an. "
Sui Xiong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Tu Ya 'an had always wanted to find something for his sister to do. He was very rich, enough for his sister to spend the rest of her life in luxury. However, he felt that it was not appropriate for a young girl to stay in her room all day watching dramas and reading novels. Thus, he had always been thinking of finding a suitable job for his sister to kill time. The income of this job was not important. The most important thing was that it could not be too hard, or else he would be distressed. Secondly, it had to be done with dignity, or else Tessa would be unhappy.
As long as he planned it well and found a suitable assistant, being the mayor and consul of the Republic of Northwest was not a difficult job. Of course, it would be a great honor. After all, the Republic of Northwest only had a few territories. To be able to become a governor of a territory was definitely something to be proud of!
With Tu Ya 'an's full support, the next step was much easier. They found a place with convenient transportation and built an underground town by themselves. This was good for keeping warm. They also made a lot of other preparations and recruited enough people. Then, they officially put up a sign.
In the beginning, it was just a village, or rather, a training camp and a big shop. Tu Ya 'an named it' Big Tree Village 'because he wanted to plant a big tree here.
Later on, the tree was not planted, but the village became bigger and bigger. Soon, it developed into a town. Because the town was underground, it was like a pit, so people called it 'Pit Tree Town.'
Naturally, Tessa Tua 'an became the mayor of the town.
"I see. What about the other two territories?" Sui Xiong asked.
"One of them was originally a town of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. It was not far from the Double-headed Crane City, and it was added along with the Double-headed Crane City. The other one was a barbarian tribe on the northern ice plains. It was built by Josh himself. "
Wall paused and hesitated for a while. He could not help but say, "Almost everyone in that tribe is Josh's descendants …"
