Ever since the bloody battles last month, Iceshen City had finally calmed down for a long time. Half a month had passed, and there were no more movements in Galaxy. With the permission of the Night Watchmen's headquarters, Rita formed a suicide squad to investigate the situation in Galaxy.
There were a total of six members in the suicide squad. They were from the player support team, the Night Watchmen's headquarters, and the Iceshen City Night Watchmen. They were all old players, and their eyes were filled with determination. They had long been prepared to sacrifice their lives for the human faction. Li Xiang watched the suicide squad leave in the morning. Their figures disappeared into Galaxy, and his heart was filled with endless emotions.
The fate of the players was not firmly in their own hands. As long as they had a slight relationship with the Seven Continents, the aristocratic family alliance, and the other superpowers, they could not truly transcend.
When their lives came to an end, and they still had descendants to develop, these old players could only choose to walk to the end of their lives like this.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came that the Northern Continent's Ochs Family, Chronometer Tower, and Wessex had come to visit the Great Wall of Disaster.
They had chosen to stay in Iceshen City, and the person in charge of the mission was Cecilia herself.
Very few people knew about the relationship between Duke Silo and Bai Lili. As for Cecilia's true identity, only Li Xiang, Duke Silo, and Cecilia herself knew about it.
Duke Silo was obsessed with Bai Lili's resurrection and had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs. Cecilia controlled the power of Wessex, and even if many people suspected her mother's identity, there was nothing they could do. She was the appointed successor of Duke Silo. She had the Eye of Gears and extremely strong mechanical talent. She also controlled the Mechanic Church that she had developed herself. Once she became powerful, it was impossible for her subordinates to topple her.
The visit of the mission this time was obviously related to Li Xiang's proposal to increase the supply of resources and cooperation. Since Cecilia, as the person in charge of the mission, had personally come and chosen to stay in Iceshen City, the meaning was obvious.
Rita immediately summoned Li Xiang back to the castle in Iceshen City.
Lori had arrived at the castle earlier than Li Xiang. In the hall, other than Commander Rita and a few night watchers, the messengers from the three factions were sitting around a round table. Cecilia was sitting in a prominent position. When she saw Li Xiang, she exclaimed, "Brother Li Xiang!"
Big Brother Li Xiang?
Everyone's gazes were ambiguous and doubtful.
Rita pretended to be enlightened and laughed in her heart without saying a word.
It turned out that he had a personal relationship with this little girl. No wonder he was so confident that he could persuade Cecilia.
Everyone saw through it but didn't say anything. Li Xiang also had his own difficulties.
Cecilia purposely showed their intimate relationship to them in order to hide the fact that she and Li Xiang were half-siblings. However, without this layer of relationship, it was not appropriate to be too close. She simply gave them the feeling that the two of them had an unspeakable relationship.
In any case, there was no need to argue over whether it was true or false. It was just an excuse to shut everyone's mouths.
Cecilia realized that she had misspoken. She stuck out her tongue and kept a straight face. On her right was a tall and handsome man. There was a badge of the Oakes family on his collar. Seeing how close Lori was to him, Cecilia guessed that he was a trusted descendant of the Shield King. The Shield King's intention was clear.
To Li Xiang's surprise, the representative of the Chronometer Tower on Cecilia's left was actually Honey!
She was wearing a white scholar's robe and had the demeanor of a scholar of the Chronometer Tower. With her achievements and ability, she shouldn't have been promoted to a scholar of the Chronometer Tower so quickly.
Even if she was an apprentice scholar, she shouldn't be qualified to represent the Chronometer Tower.
"Li Xiang, please take a seat. This is Miss Cecilia Wessex, the current owner of Wessex Technology Co., Ltd. Beside her is Mr. Weiner Oakes, the leader of the younger generation of the Oakes family, and Miss Honey, the new apprentice scholar of the Chronometer Tower."
Rita wasn't stupid. In the information she got about Li Xiang, it was clearly written that Honey and he were university classmates. But, she still had to do enough on the surface. Since the three parties had sent such a lineup, it showed their sincerity. Now, all that was left was the exchange of conditions.
She didn't expect that the problem that had been lying across the Great Wall of Disaster for many years could be solved so quickly. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Xiang.
This kid always brought her a lot of surprises.
A group of people sat at the round table and immediately began to discuss the details of the cooperation. To be honest, when Cecilia received Li Xiang's secret letter, she was also stunned. Sometimes, she couldn't understand her brother's thoughts at all.
She thought that he would ask her to help the new Polar night. After all, among the three giants, Wessex had the technology to extract Origin Substance, as well as a large amount of wealth and resources. It was a super technology company that no one dared to offend. With her support, the new Polar night would at least not be inferior to others in terms of resources.
But until Lighthouse went dark, Polar night fell, and the new Polar night rose. He even became a player and was exiled to the Great Wall of Disaster. She waited and waited, but she didn't receive even a single contact.
The relationship between the two of them was very close. Although only they were aware of it, Li Xiang was completely unwilling to ask her for help. This made Cecilia feel both uncomfortable and curious. She hadn't expected that the first time he had finally asked her for help would be for the completely unrelated Great Wall of Disaster!
In reality, cooperating with the Great Wall of Disaster was a losing business. As soon as this suggestion was made, the higher-ups of the company unanimously opposed it. However, their authority had long since been taken over by Cecilia. After she had taken over Wessex, the first thing she had done was to get rid of the dissidents and place her own people in the upper echelons of the company. After obtaining the Origin Substance extraction technology from her father, as well as the most important Wessex technology library, those people had no way of shaking her position.
What was even more frightening was that Cecilia had a machine-like memory. She had long since memorized all of the technology. Even if she left Wessex now, she would be able to create a new Wessex!
This was also one of the reasons why Duke Siluo was completely at ease in entrusting the company to her.
He knew that Cecilia was a perfect mechanical creature, combining the advantages of both a human and a machine.
Just what kind of feelings did she have for him?
Even Cecilia herself could not explain it clearly.
When she still had the main personality and the secondary personality, the main personality was carefree but abnormally close to her blood-related brother. The secondary personality also liked Li Xiang very much and even had faint feelings for him.
Now that the main personality and secondary personality had merged into one and become the real Cecilia, her innate mechanical characteristics could not reject him at all, be it mentally or physically.
As soon as they met, she knew that this brother of hers had walked even further on the path of machinery. As expected of a genius born with Machinery Proficiency and Absolute Mechanical Sense. Furthermore, he had received Lancelot's complete inheritance. She and Li Xiang would probably be the next Siluo and Lancelot.
After agreeing, Cecilia rushed over without stopping, wanting to know her brother's true thoughts.
Who would have thought!
He was actually thinking for the Great Wall of Disaster!
Li Xiang had drawn up a detailed development blueprint for the Great Wall of Disaster. As someone who was already proficient in this field, he immediately displayed shocking talent and ability after putting all of his effort into it.
This blueprint left them dumbfounded and full of admiration.
In summary, there were only seven words.
Mechanized Great Wall of Disaster.
He wanted to mechanize every stronghold, from the defense of the city walls to the internal buildings to the weapons and equipment.
He even planned to put mechanical creatures here.
"The first step is to solve the basic needs of the soldiers and night watchers. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, weapons, and equipment, so I need a large amount of raw materials and resources. Ice Scar City will be the first test, and I hope to start the transformation immediately. "
It was not that Li Xiang was impatient but that the soldiers could not wait that long.
They lacked everything.
If they waited any longer, they might not be able to survive half a month.
"We will provide resources, manpower, and material support to help you complete the transformation. What benefits will the three of us get?" Cecilia knew that this deal would result in a loss for the three of them. She could make the decision on her own side, but would the Chronometer Tower and the Ochs Family agree to such a request?
This question was very harsh, but it had to be asked.
The moment the question was asked, the round table fell silent.
This was what Rita was most afraid of. The Great Wall of Disaster would naturally take all the benefits. What benefits would the three of them gain from working together?
Why don't the three of them increase the supply of prisoners in the future?
"I want to restore the true Great Wall of Disaster to the people of the Seven Continents. Along the way, when the Great Wall of Disaster is mentioned, most people's faces have never shown any respect, only disdain and fear. They feel that this place is the frontline of the disaster and is dangerous, with the possibility of death at any moment. The people stationed here are all sinners from the Seven Continents. Even death cannot wipe out their crimes. Dying in battle is also atonement for their crimes.
Li Xiang paused for a moment before slowly speaking.
"But in reality, when I came here, all I saw was a group of sacrifices exiled by the Seven Great Continents. Indeed, there were quite a few people who deserved to die, but those without great willpower and perseverance would not be able to survive here."
Everyone was shocked. If it was just helping the Great Wall of Disaster, the three sides would have sent them here to express their attitude. However, if they wanted to change the impression of the Great Wall of Disaster in the Seven Continents, it would be a vast project that would be obstructed by countless people.
"After that, I will give you a brand new world."
"This game of chess is no longer something we can decide," Wayner said in a low voice. Before coming here, the Shield King had told him that the Ochs Family would follow Li Xiang's footsteps at all costs. Although he didn't know why the Shield King trusted him so much, he still found it hard to accept.
Change the impression of the Great Wall of Disaster?
When the Great Wall of Disaster was first established, it was a place where the supreme clans of the Seven Continents exiled their victims. All this time, nothing had changed even after the Night Monarch had moved in. Everyone had tacitly agreed to this situation.
Was it not enough for him to have a new Polar Night? Did he want to add the Great Wall of Disaster to his name as well?
If that was the case, wasn't he brazenly trying to create a superpower on the same level as the Five Thrones?
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. This is just my idea." Li Xiang chuckled. "Since you want to know what I can give you, this is my answer. Once the Great Wall of Disaster gets rid of this impression, we will usher in a brand new era of humanity. This sounds like a grand and broad answer, but I believe that it will come true in the future. "
Nonsense! How could such words convince people?
Rita was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices.
If such words could fool people, Iceshell City would have long been overflowing with wealth!
However, what made her dumbfounded was that Honey nodded thoughtfully. "I believe in your judgment. The Chronometer Tower's emissary this time was originally my teacher. However, my teacher was not feeling well, so I took full responsibility. There is no problem with the Chronometer Tower's side."
"Since that's the case, the Ochs Family will definitely stand behind Li Xiang."
"Wessex has already signed a cooperation agreement with Li Xiang. Since no one has any problems, let's discuss the next step of the distribution of resources and manpower." Hearing this, Cecilia understood. It seemed that the Chronometer Tower and the Ochs Family had already made their decision.
Although she did not know what method Li Xiang used to make these two forces agree with his point of view, but since that was the case, it saved her a lot of time to persuade the two of them.
Rita was dumbfounded.
Was it really decided just like that?
Looking at the young people casually discussing the future plans of Iceshell City, Rita was a little absent-minded. Only then did she realize that Li Xiang had a huge amount of power that she couldn't imagine.
After the discussion ended, Lori left with Wayner. Cecilia pouted at Li Xiang, but still left him to Honey.
Li Xiang brought Honey to the city wall where the wind and snow were dancing. Honey shivered in her long robe. The cold here was very lethal to magic users like her, but she was prepared in advance. She brought many secret treasures from the Chronometer Tower, so she wouldn't be nearly as cold as Lori when she first arrived.
The two walked in the wind and snow, and the guards consciously avoided them.
"Tell me, why did you ask me to come here in such a hurry? Nothing good ever happens anyway. "
Although she said that, Honey was still very happy to see him. She was in high spirits and jumped around the city wall like a child.
The Chronometer Tower was the holy land in her heart, and it was also her goal. After the Lighthouse was extinguished, she reluctantly entered it through various channels and connections. At the same time, she also trained as Sophia Beta's disciple.
Life in the Chronometer Tower was very boring. She spent her days reading and researching, but it made her very excited. In just a few months, Honey's research ability grew rapidly, and she successfully became the youngest intern scholar.
This time, after receiving Li Xiang's secret letter, Sophia immediately arranged a meeting.
Hearing the hidden bitterness in Honey's words, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed, he often treated this girl as his think tank, and thus neglected some of her own emotions.
But Honey was actually a little emotional? Was this still the robot that kept shouting "mate"?
"I obtained a very important map, but I lost the method to open the magic array inside. I hope you can help me complete it," Li Xiang said honestly.
Honey was shocked and immediately became interested. "As far as I know, using a magic array to cover the entrance is a secret technique that has been around for centuries. It's very exquisite. You actually have such a good thing!"
