Three days is neither long nor short. During this period, Zhou Li and his party made final preparations. The Lin sisters made detailed plans for the science and technology exhibition and confirmed the projects they wanted to purchase. Ain contacted Alyosha and also made arrangements for various matters related to the Joint Chamber of Commerce.
Torea and Don Quixote began to practice cooperation under Zhou Li's guidance, and a good chemical reaction began to occur between the Second Legion and the Guardian Shield. Based on their actual combat performance, Zhou Li speculated that the combat power unleashed by this combined army far exceeded Magnum III's expectations and was already on par with the main armies of the four major countries.
In fact, this result was not beyond Zhou Li's expectation, and it was natural in his eyes. After all, the Second Legion and the Guardian Shield are originally two elite legions composed entirely of professionals. One plus one plus Zhouli's training and magic firearms, it should be greater than ten.
During the past three days, Zhou Li had been negotiating with Magnum III on issues related to the legion's training and military expenditures. After confusing "one day's loss" with vague words, the two reached a final agreement. Torea and the Second Legion are temporarily under Zhou Li's name for one year. If a disaster breaks out during this period, the ownership of Torea and the Second Legion will still belong to Zhou Li until the disaster ends.
At the same time, Zhou Li will provide Magnum with a training ground to help him continue to train other legions. At the same time, Magnum III will pay a certain fee in a private name and provide magic firearms.
The price of such favorable conditions is that Zhou Li guarantees that Torea will receive support from at least two large countries within a year, and Zhou Li will help Magnum achieve his goals in the future.
So the question is, when Zhou Li and Magnum III were making dirty deals, what was Ivey doing?
Ivy is playing chess.
He is still the same stinky chess player as always, he is still as unwilling to admit defeat as ever, and he is still as always getting up after being killed and continuing to be killed. But the only thing he's better than Zhou Li is that he doesn't cheat.
Of course, if an ordinary person wants to cheat in front of the son of Kaliya, it is really unnecessary.
"how's it going?"
Stepping on the curtain of dusk, Zhou Li opened the door and returned home. Eluma was wearing a pure white dress and sitting on a wooden rocking chair with her knees bent. The white and tender feet were placed casually on the chair, shaking and giving off a beautiful halo. She put down the book in her hand, tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, and asked with a smile: "Is it solved?"
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded and threw his coat on the sofa. He walked over to Eluma, lay down on the other rocking chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"After the discussion, Magnum III is smarter than I thought. It's very comfortable to do business with him."
In the warm light, Zhou Li casually grabbed Eluma's hand, placed it in his palm and began to play with it. Eluma's hands were as delicate as finely carved white jade, and they were very lovable. He looked at the ceiling and said soothingly:
"Now Magnum has turned to us, or in other words, Magnum III has understood that he is a grasshopper tied to the same rope as me. The previous hidden dangers in Dusk Forest can be relieved, and we can finally be free of them. No more worries.”
In fact, Zhou Li was most worried about this twilight forest. This is his base. Whether it is the experience of the previous life or the management of this life, this area has become the most perfect base camp in Zhou Li's mind. Magnum III and himself were like fire and water before. What Zhou Li was most worried about after going to Yingnan was that Magnum III would suddenly attack.
But fortunately, Magnum III was not short-sighted. Because of some clues revealed by Zhou Li and the information he collected himself, Magnum III did not act rashly. After his trip to Yingnan, Zhou Li also formed an alliance with Magnum III. Now, no one in Magnum will covet the Dusk Forest.
"That's good."
As one of the few people who knew Zhou Li's real worries, Eluma's lips slightly raised, with the same joy, she chuckled and said, "Then I have a family?"
"Um…"
Zhou Li thought for a moment, laughed, and then put Eluma's little hand on his chest. He didn't speak, but he said everything.
///////////////////////////
"I sent you two to Yingnan last time."
The hall of Yongen Hexport, the largest flying port in the world, is located in the northern ravine of Silver City. From this ingenious building, you can overlook the entire Silver City.
Wearing a purple sports top and canvas shoes, Lin Zi, who was dressed briskly and energetically, stood excitedly on the high platform, feeling the fresh air coming in front of her and exclaimed: "It's so high here."
"One thousand eight hundred and ninety meters, it can be said to be the highest mountain near Silver City."
Zhou Li walked aside. He was dressed as always, wearing black clothes and black trousers with a cane. But he is handsome and has a great temperament. As long as he doesn't curse, he is a charming gentleman.
"By the way, which airship should we take?"
Lin Zi looked away. She looked at the dozens of magnificent airships parked in the Feitian Port not far away, and asked curiously.
"Same old, Arbor."
Zhou Li pointed to the luxury airship not far away. This airship once carried Zhou Li and Eluma to Yingnan. Today, it will take Zhou Li and a large group of people to Tariq, thousands of miles away. Old friends.
"You are so willing."
Ivey put his hands in his pockets and walked unsteadily to Zhou Li. He looked at the airship, which was full of luxury from decoration to materials, and said with a click of his tongue, "How much does this trip cost? It's scary just to look at it."
"Fifteen hundred gold coins."
Zhou Li crossed his arms and said nonchalantly: "Originally, this airship was expected to fly in a month, and there were already more than fifty reservations. The reservation price of this airship is fifty gold coins. If it weren't for Mag For the sake of Nan III, we need at least 2,000 gold coins as a base for temporary stoppages and urgent needs like ours."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Ivey raised his eyebrows. He looked around, then moved closer and asked, "What's your relationship with Magnum III?"
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded and said matter-of-factly: "I also took away his account."
"You're so... frugal."
At the unexpected and reasonable answer, Ivey twitched his lips and gave a thumbs up.
"Ready to go."
Ain walked out from the side, carrying her suitcase in her left hand and holding Kaya in her right hand. She said unhurriedly: "It's boarding time at 11:30. I've already processed your tickets and documents. I'll take care of you in a minute." Just show it when you board the airship."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhou Li nodded and took over the completed documents.
"Zhou Li~~~"
Eluma wandered to Zhou Li's side, suddenly lay on his body, and said feebly: "Sleepy~"
"We'll have a bed on the airship soon, so don't worry."
Zhou Li rubbed Eluma's cheek. Eluma, who was so absorbed in reading last night that she forgot to sleep, looked up and found that it was already dawn. She didn't even sleep for an hour before she started preparing Zhou Li and his luggage. This also resulted in Eluma being in a dazed state since arriving at the departure hall, with a sleepy look and a coquettish look on her face, and she unconsciously moved closer to Zhou Li.
"Can't sleep~"
Eluma's voice was drawn out, and she said in a delicate voice: "I brought the pillow from home, but it was buried under the box and I couldn't take it out."
"Forget it, I'll come later."
Zhou Li said something funny but helplessly. He raised his head and the huge minute hand pointed to the thirty position. Zhou Li took Eluma's hand and led her to the boarding area.
Everyone had already lined up. This time, Zhou Li and his party had a total of ten people, namely Zhou Li, Eluma, Don Quixote, Torea, Lin Ling, Lin Zi, Linghai, and Ivey. , Ain, Kaya. It was originally possible to fly with others, but considering the problem of stopping midway and whether to spend his own money, Zhou Li boldly chartered the plane directly, and at the same time burst the veins of Magnum III.
Soon, everyone arrived on the airship. At first, Lin Zi, Kaya and others were very interested in this high-end airship that was extremely luxurious. But once the novelty wore off, everyone lost interest when they discovered that the airship was no different from their own homes. They all looked at the scenery outside the window in the bar of the airship, as well as the earth under the projection spell.
After pouring a cup of coffee and adding six spoons of sugar, Zhou Li looked at Eluma who kept looking out the window and smiled helplessly: "Have you not been on an airship once? Why are you still so curious?"
“The scenery is beautiful.”
Eluma, who had overcome her sleepiness, was more active than usual. She looked at Zhou Li and said happily: "The last time we went to Yingnan, this time we went to Tariq. Different journeys have different scenery. Of course I’m curious.”
"uh-huh."
Zhou Li shrugged and did not disappoint Eluma. He sat next to Eluma, taking a sip of the slightly bitter coffee from time to time, and looking at Eluma with the beautiful scenery reflected in her eyes, feeling happy for a while.
"Zhou Li, where is Tariq?"
Like last time, Eluma turned to look at Zhou Li after looking at the scenery for a long time, wanting to get some interesting knowledge from Zhou Da Encyclopedia. But what was different this time was that after Eluma asked this question, more little ears perked up and began to come to Zhou Li's side, listening to interesting stories.
Except for Ivy, who is playing chess... No, he is afraid of heights and is lying dead.
"Tarik..."
If Zhou Li were asked to choose a country he was most familiar with, he would choose Tariq without hesitation. In his previous life, Zhou Li had been stationed the longest and was also the most affectionate in Tariq's country. The terrain there is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, Taric's technology is the cornerstone, which has become Zhou Li's weapon against Demon King Torea.
However, Torreia's sudden change and Demon King's inexplicable increase in strength suddenly caused Tarik, who was originally at ease, to fall into a trap. Finally, the ancient and time-honored country of Tarik came to a tragic end. Although he was destroyed by the Demon King's army, he severely damaged the powerful Demon King and gave Zhou Li a chance to regain the world.
"Technology, social development, and people's happiness."
Zhou Li said these three well-known words, then smiled and shook his head.
"No, that's not the real Tariq."
With a nostalgic tone, Zhou Li slowly said to everyone: "The main reason why Tariq is considered a kingdom in the sky is that Tariq possesses the radiant crystal. This radiant crystal is the name of Tariq. Gram has brought a steady stream of clean energy, allowing Tariq's technological level to reach an outrageous level."
"But the problem is that anything gained in this world comes with a price. The Radiant Crystal is pollution-free and has high purity. It can be said to be the most perfect energy source in the world. However, this does not mean that Tariq is equally perfect."
"Actually, two hundred years ago, Tariq was not called this name. At that time, Tariq was called the Sharota Empire, and it was an outright **** country. The more famous Third World War was It was initiated by them.”
"The Sharota Empire is a highly hierarchical and extremely martial country. They divide people into several levels, and only military merit and heads are the keys to the top. During the Third World War, the Sharota Empire They united with Yingnan and began to invade other countries. Of course, you have also learned the outcome of this third war in history books. The Sharota Empire completely collapsed in the end, and finally had to sign a surrender treaty."
"After the surrender, the Shalota Empire still planned to launch a war. They are a country dominated by military merit. Once there is no war, there is no hope. But the price of doing so is that their people's living conditions are extremely miserable, and the people at the bottom It doesn’t have any human rights, it’s just fuel to provide energy to the Sharota Empire.”
Just before the Fourth World War, a worker in the Sharota Empire found the Radiant Crystal. He did not hand over the crystal to the empire's senior officials in exchange for a title. On the contrary, he discovered the role of the crystal with certain magic skills. The worker began to study the crystal quietly.
This worker secretly united a group of people with lofty ideals. The day after the Sharota Empire decided to participate in the Fourth World War, this worker approached the Tsar in the name of offering treasures to the Tsar's palace. Meanwhile, other workers armed with Radiant weapons gathered. When gunfire erupted in the Tsar's palace, the sailors on a warship who had suffered from war and oppression launched a riot and bombed the weapons depot with the warship's magic cannon. The famous Haiming Revolution began.
The party composed of workers and peasants quickly overthrew the unpopular Tsar, and withdrew from the Fourth World War in the name of "New Sharota" and began to cultivate body and mind. The worker died in the Tsar's palace, but his manuscripts and radiant crystal were left to the New Sharota. Finally, the "People's Emperor" elected by the people led the Workers' and Peasants' Congress to completely reform Shaluota and establish a brand new country.
And the name of this new country is the name of that great worker - Tarik Vladimir
