MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 236 price
Just like that, things went back to what William had planned at the beginning.
Originally, he came to Ravenwood to dispel the curse of corruption and recycle the Holy Spirit Disc just incidentally. The main purpose is to negotiate a grain trade agreement with the rulers here in the second half of the year. After all, due to the contamination of the venomous snake's scar, the spread of the blight is now unstoppable in the Nakuland area in the western region of the Blackwater Province.
Presumably that poisonous woman from Camilla has already projected most of her influence over the world, and decided to disgust herself.
However, after William learned from Ebony that the current Duke of Sacred Tree disregarded the life and death of the commoners of the forest elves, in order to meet the wine export demand of the empire for the Daemon Continental Tribal Alliance, he forcibly changed the use of cultivated land, making the entire Jade Province itself unable to make ends meet. , he dismissed the idea.
After all, whether it is starving people in Heishui Province or Cuiyu Province, it will increase Camilla's strength. It is meaningless to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
"With all due respect, in your form this year, it is difficult enough to even guarantee your own food supply. Just like this, you have to export food to Heishui Province? Are you really not afraid of a large-scale famine?"
asked William after hearing that the other party was very willing to bypass the imperial blockade order and open an underground trade route on the border between the two provinces.
"If you ask that, it means you don't know the forest elves."
Flaro, who had put on her veil again, replied.
"How can I see it?"
"You take them as human beings living in a civilized world. In fact, compared to those humans who live in stone houses and eat with knives and forks, forest elves are closer to beasts. The signing of the contract was imprinted in their souls. Later, whether it was the rise of mankind, the crisis of the moon, or the conquest of Terra, the thousands of years did not make them any more civilized in nature. For the beasts, hunger is the norm. Hunger alone forces them to find a way out."
Although he returned to his previous dull tone, William still heard sarcasm from the other party's words.
She laid the spell matchmaker in her hand between her knees, and continued to speak cruel words in a flat tone:
"Besides, even if someone does die of starvation, the remains of the dead will provide for the remaining living to continue to live. According to the belief of the Great Mother, this is also part of nature, and in fact it is also 'Sacrament'. The true meaning of the concept. For the beasts, death is not endowed with a sacred halo, but only as fuelwood to support the living.
"what do you mean?"
"If people must starve to death, at least the dead forest elves will cause less waste. And they seldom complain about others, and more will only reflect on whether they are not strong enough."
Since choosing the way of life of beasts, being balanced by nature is also a must.
Hearing this cold-blooded answer, William was speechless for a long time.
"I changed my mind. At least in the year of starvation and rot, I don't plan to import food from you. But as compensation, I need you to give me the right to use the Green Water Harbor and Swan Harbor, and to ensure that the Notre Dame River flows into it. Unobstructed access to the hub of the Blackwater Marsh network, unhindered by looters or anything along the way."
was silent for a while, William said.
"compensate?"
Flalo repeated the word, as if he didn't quite understand what William meant.
"With those two ports, I can do business with other people."
William replied.
Awa Continent was not covered by the Star Lighthouse, so Lady Hungry and Rot could not affect them.
"If you can find another buyer, this would be a really good idea...but even so, I'm afraid I can't control either of those things."
After hearing this condition, the other party immediately said.
William got up directly from the throne when he heard the words, the electric light flickered behind him, and the Throne of Withered Rong as the prototype disappeared into the space rift.
Then he turned around without saying a word, as if to leave.
This attitude is very clear.
"Sir, this matter has nothing to do with my will. You should know that those two port cities have now become the outposts of the Imperial Legion's expedition to Awa, and now there are four Imperial Legions assembled there... If possible If so, of course I am willing to open the right to use the port to you."
Frallo hurriedly explained.
"Portal."
William stopped when he heard the words, turned his head and said a word.
"what?"
Flaro asked.
"The large portals opened in the two ports. Even though it is now operated by the Star Council, the power to open it is still in your hands, right?"
William continued.
"That's right, the authority to open or close the large portal belongs to me who is the guardian of the Jade Province..."
Although he was a little puzzled, Flaro nodded and replied.
She didn't quite know why the other party brought this up suddenly.
"That's fine. Soon, I'll take the time to visit those two seaports. Please close the two portals completely at that time. That's all I need you to do."
William turned around and said.
Close...Close the portal used by the Empire to send legions? What is he trying to do?
Hearing this request, he was shocked when he thought of a possible Flaro.
So she asked carefully:
"Don't you plan to restart it after the shutdown, connect it to Blackwater Province, and then send the army of Thorns City to surprise the Imperial Legion stationed in Greenwater Harbor and Swan Harbor?"
If this is the case, it is no different from her openly announcing that she has joined the Blackwater Province camp to oppose the Empire.
is the worst kind of betrayal.
"Do not."
In this regard, William shook his head.
Although it didn't beat again, the other party's answer still made Flaro's heart feel down.
"I know what you're worrying about, and I won't make it too difficult for you at this point. You just need to make up a portal that needs to be repaired abnormally, or some other messy reason, in short, keep those two large portals silent. Twenty-four hours is enough."
"But...why do it?"
"Prevent the legions of the Empire from fleeing."
"The Legion of the Empire...Fleeing? By what?"
Flallo felt that the other party was talking about a fantasy.
But for this question, William did not answer, but looked around the entire hall for a week, and chatted about the next topic:
"Besides that, I hope you can provide a full set of technical ideas for the temple of the Bone White House."
Now the basic maintenance work of Fortress of Dawn is almost over, and Remedios also plans to send a group of high elf craftsmen and enchanters to the Mountains of Sorrows to install the "offensive defensive enchanting armament". However, the original framework designed by Sibilla in the past has long been lost, and designing a system from scratch is too time-consuming.
After all, it is estimated that there is no second enchanter with the talent of [God's Eye] in the world.
But the previous trial made William feel that the temple-like bone white house in front of him seemed a little interesting.
Although it is so-so in terms of strength, the creativity is quite good.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the other party used the "Throne of Withering Rong" as the core of the entire temple, using the vitality of the World Tree as fuel. Then through the identity of the ruler of Ravenwood, he will rule the entire hall as his own country.
This method of combining classical ritual magic with modern magic does have some tricks. And more importantly, if this system can be reproduced, then William has all kinds of thrones in his hands - the Throne of Dry Rong, the Throne of Starlight, the Throne of Thorns, the Throne of Dark Iron, the Throne of Frostfang...
In other words, he can even add multi-core drivers to Fortress of Dawn…
Seriously, if the other party hadn't dipped into the Moon Realm worship, when all this was over, he would really be reluctant to kill her.
"You still want the full set of spells from the Kingdom of the Witch King?"
Compared with the previous request, Flaro seems to be more sensitive to this request. William noticed that the opponent's hand was wrapped around his chest unconsciously, which was a sign of vigilance and unease.
"As long as the general idea of the framework is enough, after all, there must be many places that need to be optimized."
To this, William shrugged and replied.
His answer made Flallo hesitate for a long time, as if he was balancing the two chips of the scale in his heart.
This great art called "The Kingdom of the Witch King" is not only the foundation of her life, but also has extremely important meaning from an emotional point of view.
If someone else made this request, then she would definitely send the other party on the road without saying a word.
but…
Before William was about to get impatient, Flaro finally said:
"Your request will be much more expensive than the previous closing portal. I want to know, what price can you pay for this?"
"You can try to ask for anything. There should be only a few things I can't do in this world."
William replied calmly.
After confirming again and again that the other party's expression was serious, Flaro took a deep breath and said his request:
"About a thousand years ago, William Kane used the curse of the Rotten Lady to destroy half of the core of the World Tree. Now, I would like you to assist me in using the power you traded from the Rotten Lady , destroying the core of the other half."
"That's the only price I'm offering."
