When Zhou Li walked out of this splendid building from the golden carpet and stepped on the dirt road he and the goblins built, the violence in Zhou Li's heart gradually subsided, and the gray fog in his eyes quickly dissipated. He closed his eyes and took a long breath, his gloomy mood dissipating.
Sure enough, the Black Emperor will subtly affect people's minds.
Zhou Li opened his eyes, his innocent and clear eyes full of integrity. When Zhou Li recruited the first batch of "subjects" after becoming the Black Emperor, he found that the effects of his two skills, Language Artist and Mass Incitement Master, had been greatly improved. If it weren't for the Black Emperor's increase, that group of nobles would not have been so quickly aroused and incited by Zhou Li. I believe that the mastermind behind all this was the so-called Emperor Magnum III.
However, even if that group of people reacted and lifted their frenzy, it would be meaningless. Just now when Zhou Li took personal risk and stepped into this building to threaten and intimidate this group of nobles, they had dozens of ways to directly control or counter themselves. However, when Zhou Li led the thoughts of this group of nobles through various conscious instigations, intimidation, and guidance, these nobles completely forgot about their own advantages and began to mess up, directly ruining the entire situation. .
Now, not only did this group of nobles fail to perform the tasks given to them by the church, but they also "willingly" became subjects of the Black Emperor under the guidance of Zhou Li. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Li's mouth curled up, and a look of joy gradually appeared in his clear eyes.
God, the gift I have prepared for you will arrive soon.
Zhou Li stepped onto the dirt road into the central area of the farmhouse, where the commercial street and parliament center are located. When he stepped into this area that was already filled with crowds and full of joy and pleasure, Zhou Li had already inadvertently put on that extremely funny mask and blended into the crowd.
This time the arena was set up in the open space to the west of the central area, and a circular building imitating the ancient Roman Colosseum has been built. This building cost Zhou Li a thousand gold coins, and the raw materials and workers hired by the Purple Sha Merchant Guild responsible for the construction did not earn Zhou Li a penny at all.
Because Zhou Li gave her another plan, which was to open drink and food stalls in the auditorium of the arena. At the same time, only the products of the Purple Sha Chamber of Commerce were allowed to be sold, and the Purple Sha Chamber of Commerce was allowed to promote them.
Best of both worlds.
Zhou Li walked through the central area and bought a bottle of honey milk. He walked slowly to the front of the arena. The huge building was bustling with people. The VIP seats on the side had already been decorated with various gorgeous decorations, turning it into a different-looking wooden building. Zhou Li took one look and smiled, but didn't care and walked towards the arena.
Next to the gate of the arena is a canopy building with a plaque hanging on it that reads "Fair betting jointly guaranteed by the Brave, Zisha Chamber of Commerce, and Ayr Chamber of Commerce." This is the building that was opened yesterday. Since the arena was opened today, it has continuously contributed at least two thousand gold coins to Zhou Li's income. Of course, everything was still in order before the distant nobles in the VIP seats took action. It's just that the world is still undecided.
After buying five gold coins from Don Quixote, Zhou Li walked through the gate of the arena and walked along the auditorium to the backstage of the arena. This backstage is divided into two. After passing through a corridor, there will be two doors, Zhou Li on the east side and Don Quixote on the right. Zhou Li stood at the fork of fate and looked at the gold coin door on the right, with a unclear expression on his face. After stopping for a moment, Zhou Li pushed open his own door and stepped into his waiting area.
"promise."
As soon as Zhou Li opened the door, he casually threw the honey milk in his hand forward. Eluma, who was already on standby, naturally took the glass bottle, opened the cork and drank it all. She narrowed her eyes happily and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Has everything been arranged?"
Zhou Li walked straight to the soft sofa and threw himself up. Zhou Li closed his eyes to rest and asked Eluma beside him. Eluma carefully put the glass bottle aside, then threw herself next to Zhou Li without any image, and replied lazily with a long voice:
"Everything has been arranged. The employees who evacuated the crowd have already blended into the audience. Linghai has given Ailei permission to communicate in the void at any time. The three platinum-level guardians hired can activate it at any time. At worst, they can also All spectators were safely escorted out of the arena."
After listening, Zhou Li said nothing, but stretched out his hand to rub Eluma's head.
"I'm done here."
As soon as Eluma finished her report, Zhou Li's door was pushed open, and Ah Zi, who was wearing a blue robe, walked in. She threw herself next to Eluma very tiredly, and said with a tired face: "All the things you asked me to do The crystals I purchased have been arranged and can cut off the images and sounds in the battle arena at any time. I also purchased Victoria and Silver City-State’s city-wide broadcasts for about one minute as you said, and the Ayr Chamber of Commerce will cover them all for 5,000 gold coins. No need to We take every penny.”
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded lightly, and after a while, he said quietly: "The Aier Chamber of Commerce is more loyal than we thought. Their leader is a smart man who values emotions. After this time, he will become my Attached.”
"OK."
Azi had no objection to this. She didn't feel any nervousness about being broken when other chambers of commerce came into contact with Zhou Li. She knew that for Zhou Li, friends were more important than attachments. As long as she does not break the rules and maintains friendship with Zhou Li, her status will not be shaken.
"How much longer?"
Zhou Li asked, Eluma looked at the clock beside him and replied softly:
"five minutes."
There was no urging or anxious tone, Eluma always had an instinctive trust in Zhou Li. In Azi's observation, this kind of instinctive trust is not foolish loyalty, nor is it blind obedience to bottomless and independent thinking. It is the most sincere and rare trust under a network of trust built by an extreme understanding and recognition of each other.
Hey, Haihai and I also have this kind of trust.
Azi thought of the Linghai inexplicably, and then she felt happy in her heart. The original fatigue was diluted, and a slight sweetness oozed out inexplicably.
After five minutes passed, Zhou Li stood up. Eluma and Azi also stood up together and followed Zhou Li out of the waiting area. At this time, Don Quixote, who was fully armored, was already waiting for the three of them at the exit. She closed her eyes slightly and rested her right hand on the hilt of the long sword. Her whole body was as dignified and exquisite as marble.
"Are you ready?"
Zhou Li walked to her side, facing the arena shrouded in sunlight, and asked softly: "Have you found the glory you want?"
"No. I still haven't found my own light."
Don Quixote opened his eyes, and his calm expression contained the hottest lava. She raised her right hand to catch the scattered light from the shadows. The warm sunlight shines on the frost gauntlets, creating a golden halo. Don Quixote clenched his right fist, his voice firm and without hesitation.
The two walked in parallel, stepping out of darkness into light together.
"If light cannot guide my path, I will use darkness to devour my retreat."
The crowd burst into cheers, the scorching sun enveloped the earth, and waves of sound swept over them.
Only God is still pretending to be deaf and mute, turning a blind eye.
