"Not just a Muqi?"
Ivey asked with some confusion: "This...is impossible. Magnum III already has a very strong control over the Northern Continent. If Muqi is captured, Magnum will become the master of the entire Northern Continent." .What else does he want besides Muqi?"
"Does he want to attack other mainland countries?"
Don Quixote on the side raised this question with a frown. Before Zhou Li could explain, Azi on the side shook his head and said, "It's impossible. The Kingdom of Magnum has no power to interfere with other continents."
"Among the four countries in the world, Magnum is a completely weak country. Militarily, Magnum has been crushed by the other three countries. Unless Magnum can quickly increase its military strength and reach the level of crushing other countries, no matter what Even Magnum III wouldn’t dare to touch other continents.”
After Azi finished speaking, Don Quixote understood what she meant. But what caught everyone off guard was that Zhou Li didn't agree with Ah Zi's conclusion.
"But because of this, I think Magnum III is creating a weapon of destruction level."
Zhou Li nodded at the table and continued: "The three great divine courts of Eastern Immortals, Humans, and Spirits, the Roaring Steel Behemoth of the Yingnan Kingdom, and the Tarik Glow Technology Nuclear Bomb of the West Tari Republic. These are the other three countries. Destruction-level weapons used to maintain order between each other. And Magnum has always been at a disadvantage internationally precisely because it does not have its own destruction-level weapons."
"So Magnum III wants to create a destructive level of power?"
Ivy on the side spoke and asked hesitantly: "What can he do?"
"I don't know, at least not yet."
Zhou Li shook his head and replied: "What we can know now is that in addition to the plan to annex Muqi, Magnum III also has a hidden plan. This plan should be kept absolutely confidential. After all, others have the power to destroy level weapons, if you try to possess them again, someone will hold a weapon of destruction to your head and declare you to be anti-human."
"Indeed." Linghai nodded and said in agreement: "While everyone in the world hopes to master power, they also have great malice towards the idea of others wanting to master power. If Magnum III really wants Once his production of weapons of destruction is exposed, he will be greeted by collective pressure from three countries."
"Actually, these are not very important, you understand."
Zhou Li knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and then said with a smile: "I don't care about the life and death of Magnum III, and I don't care much about what he wants to do. I just hope you don't forget about this matter. Our original intention.”
With a cold face and cold eyes, Zhou Li stretched out his hand, made a downward slashing motion, and then said word by word: "The original intention of cutting half of the national treasury."
"But we don't have the ability to compete head-on with Magnum III." At this time, Ivey said: "If we want to make a fuss about this matter, Magnum III's counterattack will be extremely strong. We must have key evidence. , this evidence must directly prove Magnum III’s plan, otherwise we can’t do anything.”
"Whether this plan exists or not is still a matter of debate. But now, we must plan based on the existence of this plan."
As the core of the team, Zhou Li coughed twice and said: "After the investiture ceremony, there is a great possibility that we will be sent to the Republic of Muqi for negotiation and cooperation. Magnum III will not miss the target, and there is a high probability that the Republic of Muqi will This is an important part of the plan. If we figure out Mu Qi, we can figure out Magnum III's plan."
"In addition to this, we also got another person."
Zhou Li paused, and then said: "It is best to find out the identity of the duchess before the investiture ceremony. I will help you cross out some wrong answers in a while. You continue to investigate and let me know the results immediately. At the same time, this I will also go to the king’s house to look for information in the next two days, and I will contact you if anything happens.”
"What should we do if the duchess's identity is exposed, or if she shows up on the day of the investiture ceremony?"
At this time, Azi asked a question. To this question, Zhou Li only answered three words.
"Treat me, behead me, accept me as a dog."
*************************************************** ****
"You're angry."
In the palace, Torea walked out of the shadows on the side. She looked at Magnum III in the center of the hall and said in an indifferent voice: "Is he insulting you?"
After a long time, Magnum III, who was sitting on the gorgeous golden chair, slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't care about his insult."
"What I care about is his arrogance from the bottom of his heart."
"Arrogant?" Torea frowned slightly and asked with a hint of confusion, "I didn't see it."
"Because you have it too. It's just that your emotions are too peaceful to show."
Magnum III faced the puzzled Torea, took a deep breath to calm down, and said slowly: "Not only you have it, he has it, even the former Emperor Chong has it. I still can't forget this. An arrogance that frightens and pains me."
"I don't understand."
Even though she was inexplicably labeled as arrogant, Torea did not have any emotional fluctuations. She just looked at Magnum III calmly and raised her own questions.
"I call the arrogance of nobles towards civilians stupidity." Magnum III pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Because in this era, civilians may also become nobles, so the arrogance of nobles is just a layer of sadness to me. All it takes is a little poke to break down the barrier.”
"The same is true for the arrogance of superiors towards inferiors. Even the arrogance that a demigod-level professional can't help but feel when facing untouchables is nothing more than this in my eyes."
After a moment of pause, the old man's hand holding the scepter trembled visibly. His cloudy eyes were full of alienated anger and unwillingness, and his voice was extremely heavy:
"But you will always treat us with the same arrogance that humans treat ants."
"I don't have this kind of arrogance." Torea shook her head, and faced the somewhat impatient old man, and said calmly: "I don't think I have the right to be arrogant in front of you."
"No, you do."
The old man shook his head and said solemnly: "It's just that you didn't realize it. Don't forget, when the bird and the frog at the bottom of the well were describing the vast world, it didn't think it was arrogance. But to the frog at the bottom of the well, the vast world outside was easily described. Asuka has an arrogance that cannot go away when the revelation of the incident is in front of her eyes."
"That is the arrogance that is engraved on the soul and will last forever."
