Both Christine and Zhou Li knew that the intelligence of nobles was never low. Compared with the common people who have been deprived of nutrition and education since childhood, these upper-class people who have been immersed in a golden pool since birth have abundant innate advantages. Nutritious food, excellent teachers, and capital that can broaden your horizons. Therefore, in this kind of world, rich people are the majority of smart people.
However, being smart does not mean being reliable.
"General Christian, you should understand the current situation."
Zhou Li put his hands in his hands and said calmly: "Nobility is a double-edged sword. If we don't use it, the enemies will use it. And once you show your cowardice in front of them, they will in turn want to become your master. "
"I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhou Li."
Christine looked at the Grand Archon Medals placed randomly on the coffee table and said, "They are indeed untrustworthy, but they are also a very important force for us."
"If this power can be used by the enemy, I would rather destroy it so that no one can use it."
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, pressed the medal on the table, and said decisively: "The noble is now a time bomb. In fifteen days, the person behind the gospel will definitely take action again. I can't wait."
"well…"
Sighing, Kristen rubbed her hair, and then asked Xiang Zhouli: "What do you want, Mr. Zhou Li?"
"In the next fifteen days, a ban will be imposed on all nobles, and troops will be sent to monitor them. The noble escorts are prohibited from leaving the protected objects."
Faced with these almost harsh conditions, even Christine, who was mentally prepared, was a little stunned. He never thought that Zhou Li would do such a great job.
Is he not prepared to leave any room for nobles?
"Mr. Zhou Li, to be honest, the nobles are not cattle and sheep to be slaughtered by us..."
Although she had tried her best to make the language tactful, Christine still said helplessly: "Even if I were to issue such an order, such conditions would only intensify their resistance. Mr. Zhou Li, see if you can edit a bit."
"I know your difficulty."
Zhou Li pushed the black tea to the two of them, with a reassuring despicable tone in his voice, "Don't worry, I have a way to make them agree to my conditions."
"Mr. Zhou Li, Yingnan still has its own laws. Look, can we abide by them properly? Don't make it difficult for me."
After hearing about Zhou Li’s various actions in Magnum from Azi, Kristen immediately became alert when she heard Zhou Li’s “I have a way”: “No matter what I say, I am still a citizen of the country. .”
"Do you know how I relied on it for so long without being brought to justice despite being a tyrant in Magnum?"
Faced with Zhou Li's question, Roja thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke under Christine's "How dare this kid" look: "Is it because you still respect the law and agree with the law in your heart, so you never Have you ever broken any law?"
"No."
Zhou Li shook his head and smiled kindly: "They can't catch me."
"ah???"
Roja was stunned. Zhou Li glanced at Kristine, who was holding her forehead and sighing, and then explained to Roja: "If you want to punish a person with the law, you must have the following conditions. Power, the corresponding law , and those who dare to judge.”
"ah?"
In fact, this English-Southern slang should be "If you want to punish a person with the law, you must have these three weapons: he has indeed committed a crime, evidence, and fairness." But in Zhou Li's mouth, this slang was tampered with beyond recognition.
"An officially appointed Grand Consul has the strongest power under the current situation. At the same time, I also have certain rights to amend laws during wartime and can make small changes to the law. Moreover, there are really people in this city who can judge My people?"
Zhou Li leaned forward, and an inexplicable sense of oppression came from him. He was obviously smiling, but it made people shudder, "So, Yingnan's laws do exist."
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."
************************************
For the current Jordanian nobles, communicating with Zhou Li is an extremely twisted behavior. They will feel uncomfortable for a day without communication, but once they communicate with Zhou Li, they will feel uncomfortable for a day.
To be honest, this group of nobles who evolved from "feudal big landowners" to "feudal big capitalists" have rich experience and have never seen such a difficult brave man. They never imagined that a person could anger an experienced nobleman with words without swearing. In just three hours, two older noblemen had been rushed to a private hospital for treatment.
And the most shameless thing is that the entire process, from the moment the nobles contacted Zhou Li, was reported simultaneously by reporters from the Jordan Evening News. If these nobles hadn't received the news in advance, there might have been some big news.
Damn it, you are really not afraid of us giving you a bribe.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!!!"
Under Zhou Li's instruction, this group of old Jordanians received news from Christine and learned of Zhou Li's upcoming policy on them. In less than an hour after receiving the news, a medium-sized "online meeting" quietly started.
"He is riding on our heads! A brave man, doesn't he know where this is? Doesn't he know who we are?"
Through the video, you can also see the anger of this bald nobleman. He is like a red-hot robot, with blue veins popping out on his egg-like head. "I absolutely cannot agree. I, Nala, will never agree!"
"Nala, calm down, this matter is not that simple."
The old man sitting on the rattan chair imported from the East waved his cane to signal the bald nobleman named Nala to quiet down. He looked at the other nobles and said in a calm tone: "In one hour, have you collected enough information?"
"We in the Diesel family did receive some information."
The blond man rang the bell, attracting the attention of others. After putting down the pipe in his hand, he said solemnly: "This Zhou Li may be different from what we thought."
"What's the meaning?"
Facing the old man's question, the blond man was silent for a while. Then he took a deep breath of the aroma of high-grade tobacco, exhaled it slowly, and answered: "I know one of the two priests from the Church of Life who are accompanying me. They are here. I have been in contact with them since."
"You all know that the gods are kind to the brave, right."
Grain evil
After telling everyone this well-known news, the blond man puffed his pipe gently, and then said slowly: "However, when I contacted the bishop of Life Church, he gave me a special warning."
As if remembering the horrified expression on the face of the aloof red archbishop when he said these words, the blond man frowned and his voice was low.
"He said that when the goddess of life once spoke of the brave, there was no mercy in her tone."
Faced with this answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The bald man burst into laughter and said boldly: "Then there is no need to worry. A brave man who doesn't care about a god is not worth mentioning at all."
After laughing, the bald man seemed to notice something was wrong and stopped laughing. He looked at the blond man and saw only a solemn face.
"Do you think it's because the goddess doesn't care about the hero?"
The blond man paused. Although it was difficult for him to accept this answer even now, he still had to say it.
"When the goddess of life talked about Zhou Li..."
"Full of fear."
*********************************
"I can use my third toe to figure out where those nobles are having a meeting."
After playing four sevens, and then being hit by Kaya with four eights, Zhou Li directly discarded the two sixes in his hand, practicing the bad policy. Amid Kaya's dissatisfied protests, Zhou Li packed up the chess and cards invented by Emperor Chong and put them aside.
"I think so too."
As another farmer, Ivey breathed a sigh of relief and threw out the five in his hand, pretending that nothing had happened, which made Kaya want to cry.
"Sister Eluma, they are going too far!!"
Although he and his half-sister are usually very close to each other, his temperament is also a bit cold. But in the final analysis, Kaya was still just a teenager. Faced with two adults who couldn't beat elementary school students and acted shamelessly, Kaya directly threw herself into Eluma's arms and accused Zhou and Li of their inappropriate behavior.
"Alas~"
Eluma rubbed Kaya's hair, glanced at Zhou Li angrily, and then said softly to Kaya: "It's okay, Kaya."
"This is the adult world, just get used to it."
Kaya, who did not get the expected comfort, was stunned. She looked at Eluma blankly for a while, then rubbed her face, slowly left Eluma's warm embrace, and then hugged her knees beside her, After sighing, he declined Zhou Li's invitation to play again.
"It's not good at playing cards and it's easy to get addicted. Children really shouldn't play this kind of thing."
After being brutally beaten four times in a row by the elementary school-aged Kaya, Zhou Li's face that could withstand the God-given attacks was almost pierced before he could cheat in front of Kaya who had the power of the void. He coughed twice, hid the card aside, and then said seriously: "Avi, can you believe what Christine said before she left?"
After chatting with Christine for a while, the two reached a preliminary intention to cooperate. Zhou Li needed Christine to help him stand up, but he didn't need him to completely lean towards him. Christine, on the other hand, needs Zhou Li to completely solve the problem of the Gospels while "trying not to break the law (even if he breaks the law, don't accuse me)."
Before leaving, Christine left a piece of advice to Zhou Li. He said that for the entire Yingnan, Gerost is a double-edged nuclear bomb. If you use it well, all the upper class people in the entire Yingnan will fall to you. But if you don't use it well, even the upper echelons of Yingnan will not let you go.
Zhou Li, who knew a little bit about Yingnan's past, knew that Gerost could not be said to be inseparable from the upper class people in Yingnan. After solving the ominous omen of the death epidemic, Gerost handed the little jellyfish to Eluma, and then disappeared into the streets of Yingnan. Zhou Li knew that Gerost did not want to get involved in political matters.
"Based on the information sent by General Christine and the intelligence provided by other unions, I think what General Christine said is at least 90% correct."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Zhou Li nodded. Erwin, the president of the Hunter Guild, once told him that Yingnan's betrayal of Gerost was an act that was almost shameful. Once it is revealed, the entire Yingnan will be plunged into an earthquake of public opinion. In order to cover up the truth of that year, everyone who participated in or heard about the betrayal entered into a high-level agreement and could not disclose the betrayal to the outside world at all.
"But Gerost doesn't seem to want to get involved in politics."
Ain scratched his head. If Ain was extremely good at rational calculation and analysis, then Ain was very good at emotional "intuition."
"Anyone who has had something like that happen to them will stay away from such dirty behavior."
Zhou Li used the black mist to cut the cards, looked at the big and small kings in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "But if we can get Gerost to join our camp, we will be equivalent to having a destructive level weapon."
"you mean…"
In fact, among all Zhou Li's companions, apart from Eluma, the one who can best follow Zhou Li's thinking is Ivey. Eluma and Zhou Li have a spiritual connection, a tacit understanding from their souls. Ivey, on the other hand, simply knows the evil of human nature.
"Checks and balances."
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Now that we are blocked, the news cannot be transmitted. Even if the bomb of Geralost explodes, it will be controlled in Jordan. Therefore, we must win over Geralost."
"Are you going to threaten them with Geralost?"
Facing Aiwei's question, Zhou Li smiled despicably, shook his head, and said, "No, threats are not very useful."
"I'm going to detonate Gerost's bomb directly, and not just once."
At first, Aiwei didn't react, but soon he understood what Zhou Li meant. Then his expression changed drastically. Looking at Zhou Li who was smiling in front of him, he asked very hesitantly: "You can't really Do you want to do this?"
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
If Jordan is not closed now, then Gerost is a nuclear bomb, and nuclear bombs are most deterrent when they are not launched. But if Jordan is closed and the news cannot spread, then Gerost is an armor-piercing bullet that can be used at any time. There will not be too much pollution, and a Yingnan will not be allowed to hunt down Zhou Li.
Moreover, the damage is very high and can be used repeatedly.
"Now, the people in Jordan want Gerost to disappear forever, so that they will not be the first unlucky guy to be pushed to the forefront because of the truth. Even if Gerost appears, they will want to wait until the truth spreads to other people. Try to strangle or bribe Gerost before you go anywhere."
"So, now Gerost has found a backer called the Brave and is preparing to take revenge on those who betrayed him. Do you think if this news spreads, how will the nobles react?"
