After Lola was finally satisfied, it was time for an official talk.
"Build a production base in the Blackstone Cavern? Is that necessary? "
Lola forcefully pulled Twain into her body, her fingers sliding up and down his body as she said, "If you want to produce anything, you can just do it in Shar 'Hera. Everything here is open to you. Of course, that includes me."
Rowling, who was not far away, felt that she had had enough of being a queen. She slammed the table, lifted her skirt, and walked out.
With a thud, she fell to the ground again.
But this time, no one helped her up. She quickly got up, covered her red nose, and flew away.
Lola looked gratified. "I didn't expect my daughter to stand up on her own. Congratulations."
Tang En thought about it and felt that it was better for him not to get involved in the family matters of the mother and daughter.
So he said, "Shar 'Hera is of course good, but the production of some equipment will cause a lot of noise pollution. I can't guarantee the environment, so it's best to put it in the Blackstone Cavern."
"Is that so … That guy Barod has agreed to send people?"
"Yes, because the dwarves are still experts in construction."
"Hmph, we dark elves won't lose to them. Tell me, how many people do you need?"
"For the first batch, a thousand elites who are good at magic will be enough."
Tang En thought for a moment and added, "We'll take care of their food and accommodation, and we can also pay them according to the standard salary."
Lola said with disdain, "Salary? Gold coins? Your human gold coins have no use in Shar 'Hera. "
Tang En spread his hands. "But with the gradual development of the underground world, the number of adventurers who come to Shar 'Hera will increase. Sooner or later, there will be a large number of transactions with them, and a large number of goods will be brought into the underground world. If you want to get the goods in their hands, using gold coins is the fastest and most convenient way."
"But the underground world doesn't lack gold."
Laura blinked. "Instead of earning your gold coins, why don't we forge our own gold coins?"
"That's because of historical issues," Tang En shrugged. "Now, the only currency in Prandal is the Irus gold coin. Your own gold coins can't be traded with the gold coins in the market. Let's not talk about other things, just the exchange rate of the currency is enough to give you a headache. To use the simplest example, if you have gold coins, you can openly buy all kinds of goods from me without attracting the attention of others. "
The Irus Empire controlled the standard mold of the gold coins and had the right to speak. This was one of the main reasons why the Irus Royal Family was able to survive until now.
"Alright, I'll agree to your condition for the time being."
Laura giggled and kissed Tang En on the cheek. She lifted his chin and said, "Actually, with your identity and our relationship, these things can be avoided."
"Don't. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. We can't expect others to be the same as us, so the necessary incentives can't be lacking."
Tang En felt like he was a man who sold his body. That's right, normally, a woman should be in the arms of a man, right? But it was the opposite with Laura. He was in Laura's arms and looked like a little girl.
If Fiona and Elsa saw this, he didn't know what kind of expression they would have.
But Twain could not do anything about it. Lola, this fellow, immediately showed an attitude of not cooperating unless he was in bed with her. She did not care whether he was the master chosen by the goddess or not. This fellow and Queen Isalie had two completely different attitudes!
Although Izari and Lola had the same natural ability to squeeze juices, Izari was still a proper queen, and she directly recognized his identity as an Oracle. Then, any cooperation would be easy to discuss, as long as she could give birth to a child in the end.
You see, the result is obviously the same, but one is receiving money first and then doing things, while the other is doing things first and then receiving money. The feeling is completely different, isn't it?
"By the way, let me ask you something."
Tang En suddenly thought of Olica. He frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Laura stretched out her hand and smoothed his brows. "Don't frown now. If Rowling saw it, she would think that I hurt you."
F * ck! Are you done yet! I'm a man!
I — I'll endure it!
Twain took a deep breath, and after calming down with great difficulty, he continued, "Do you know a dark elf named Olica?"
"Olica?"
Laura was startled, then asked as if nothing had happened, "How do you know this name?"
"I met her a while ago. So you do know her?"
"Since you asked, I have nothing to hide from you."
Lola imitated Tang En and shrugged. "Olica is my mother."
"What!?"
Tang En was shocked. "Are you kidding me!?"
"Of course not. This is the truth. I have no need to lie to you," Laura said.
"But we haven't seen each other for more than two hundred years. Ever since she was tempted and chose to betray the goddess, she was no longer a member of us dark elves."
Tang En could see that Laura was serious. When she said Olica's name, the disdain and contempt on her face were not concealed at all.
"What do you mean?"
"As the former queen … the one before me, not only did she not do her duty as a queen and did not offer her loyalty to the goddess, she instead believed the words of a cultist who came out of nowhere and became his fanatic."
Although Laura spoke casually, Tang En could imagine how complicated the situation was. How huge of a blow would it be for the entire race for a dark elf queen to betray the goddess? It was probably because of Olica's betrayal that Laura was forced to become a powerful queen and gather all the dark elves together.
Tang En could not help but frown again. "Speaking of which, Olica betrayed the goddess. Did the goddess not punish her?"
"Of course she did," Laura said indifferently.
"Depriving her of her lifespan and youth, as well as the power she was so proud of, turning a Legendary champion weaker than a Bronze-tier Seer. Isn't that the greatest punishment?" Lola said flatly.
"Bronze-level? That's not right … "
Tang En was stunned. "When we met her some time ago, she was clearly an Autarch-level, only a step away from Legendary."
Laura was a bit surprised, then replied: "Then there is only one possibility. The master that she followed was indeed quite capable and was able to help her regain her power — — - but using that kind of power that was corrupted by Chaos would eventually turn her into a lunatic"
"No, in fact, she was already a lunatic."
Tang En shook his head. "But she was killed by me and Aiguin."
"Dead?"
Laura was stunned, then said with a nonchalant look, "It's good that she's dead. She can be free."
"If what you said is true, Jaesz's danger level will probably increase a little."
Tang En put away his previous contempt for Jaesz. "Jaesz should have mastered a way to use the power of Chaos, but that method is obviously unreliable and will still be corrupted by Chaos after a long time. But he used this method to gather a group of zealots, and these zealots are also tentacles that infect Chaos. "
"Even a queen of Olica's status would be incited by Jaesz, not to mention those lunatics who thirst for power but are not recognized by society."
Tang En said with a serious face. "If his tentacles reach the upper echelons of various countries, I'm afraid that with just one order, he can create a huge commotion and even start a war."
"So what if we start a war?"
The lazy Laura played with Tang En's hair and said disdainfully, "Using the combat strength of those adventurers as a standard, we dark elves can fight ten of them. If we really start a war, we can help you become the only king of the surface world. At that time … Ah, a carnival on the supreme throne must be very exciting. Well, we can also call Rowling, so that she won't say that I, as her mother, didn't take care of her."
Tang En's mouth twitched. This woman … No, this female dark elf was simply a lunatic!
She wanted to unify the world just to satisfy her own desires …
If unifying the world was so simple, Tang En would have started preparing long ago. Why would he wait for her?
In fact, although Tang En had been preparing for war, he was also most worried about war.
Prandal's real enemy was the army of Chaos that was hidden in the dark and had yet to appear, not the conflicts between different races and different countries.
To put it bluntly, the enemy was about to break through the door, so why were they still fighting at home? They clearly felt that they weren't dying fast enough!
Tang En had been working hard to use economic means to form a community of interests similar to the European Union. Unlike on Earth, in Prandal, the peaceful unification of the various countries had a very good foundation. There was a unified common language, Loen, a unified currency, Irus gold coins, a unified history, the Irus Empire, and even a unified ancestor — the gods who created humanity.
In such a world with freedom of belief and the supervision of a true god, it was like a child being watched by an adult. Even if they made a fuss, they wouldn't be able to cause much of a fuss. Peaceful unification was very easy.
But now, he was afraid that the lunatic, Jaesz, would cause trouble.
The lunatic who attempted to slay a god didn't care if it would start a war. If he could successfully slay a god, he would probably do it even if there was only one person left.
Tang En fell into deep thought. After Jaesz escaped, he sent Orica to attack Ellington a few days ago. Could it be that he wasn't afraid of being beaten up by me? He still wants to provoke me?
In that case, it seems like it's necessary to finish off the Snake of Darkness as soon as possible.
If Tang En knew that Orica was acting on his own and only wanted to curry favor with Jaesz, to the point that Jaesz was now unable to stop his fanatical followers from courting death, who knew what expression he would have …
