After hearing such secret news, the middle-aged man's expression was a little subtle, and he obviously didn't believe what the vampire grand duke said.
He moved his gaze away from the box containing the origin blood and said: "We have not been able to fully explore the twenty-seven continents until now. The topmost continent has not yet been able to set foot on. The new world you talk about
, where is it again?”
Faced with the middle-aged man's doubts, the Grand Duke of the Blood Tribe showed no signs of confusion and said with a smile: "I don't believe it, but since my master has promised such a big price, it can't be a joke, right?
If it is really a joke, the price will be a bit high."
The middle-aged man nodded, thinking that this was also true. He pointed to Yuan Xue and said, "The deposit is Yuan Xue, but what about the reward?"
The Grand Duke stretched out a finger and said: "The first one is a drop of Zhao Jundu's green blood."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "What's the use of a drop of green blood?"
The Grand Duke said: "You don't know something about this. With Zhao Jundu's current cultivation level, he can only extract three drops of green blood at most. One drop will be used as the key to the new world, one drop will be kept by the Lord, and one drop will be given to you.
"
"There are only three drops in total? Then why not wait for his cultivation level to improve a little more before refining it?"
The Grand Duke sneered: "If he becomes a divine general, how can you control him? What special means can you come up with to kill him?"
The middle-aged man suffocated and nodded slowly. Geniuses like Zhao Jundu can surpass several levels of challenges at the warrior stage. If they are not prepared, it will be difficult to kill them on the frontal battlefield. Once they break through the divine general's heavenly barrier,
, and then get one or two special abilities, it will be like an eagle flying to the nine heavens, and a fish returning to the sea. Even if the king personally intervenes to intercept it, it will still take a lot of effort.
The Grand Duke added: "Secondly, the gate to the new world appears only for a short time. Once the tide of the force passes, the opportunity may be lost. The next tide of the force will be hundreds of years later. No one knows whether it will be there by then.
There will be opportunities to discover new worlds.”
"What use is this drop of green blood to me?"
"Don't you humans have a method of absorbing the original crystal for a long time? Just use the same method. Green blood can improve the potential of talents, which is far more than what the original crystal can do. Sir, you should be very familiar with this method, right?"
The meaning of his last sentence was to ridicule the human race for their skill in internal fighting. The middle-aged man just pretended not to hear it and remained silent.
The Grand Duke was a little impatient and said: "What else is there to think about? A drop of green blood is equivalent to one-third of Zhao Jundu's bloodline power. With it, even a waste can become a god general, and ordinary god generals can be promoted to high positions.
Divine General. It’s just that he can’t enter the realm of the Heavenly King.”
The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and said: "It is true that you have studied the bloodline more thoroughly."
The Grand Duke said: "The second item is a drop of prince-level blood, which is definitely from the bloodline of twelve ancient clans."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"As for the third one..." The Grand Duke immediately took a piece of paper, wrote down two names, and handed it over.
The middle-aged man looked at it and frowned: "These are the two dukes of the spider demon and the demon descendant, right? What's so special about them?"
The Grand Duke smiled and said: "These two are quite outstanding in commanding the fleet. It seems that your empire's Guards Fleet has never taken advantage of them."
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed."
The Grand Duke stared into the middle-aged man's eyes and said slowly: "I don't care whether you are really just a subordinate of the Right Prime Minister or the Right Prime Minister himself. My master knows that the Right Prime Minister is also a human being and a person who works day and night for the empire, so he
I will send these two fleets to you. If you eat them, your battle situation on the floating land will fundamentally change. If you still can't win, then you can't blame us."
This time, the middle-aged man was finally moved and said: "What do you mean?"
"We will tell you all the action information of these two fleets and arrange for them to take appropriate actions at the appropriate time."
These words were very clear. The middle-aged man's expression changed and he pondered for a long time, still hesitant.
When the Grand Duke saw it, he said: "Although your human race has lost a peerless genius, but forgive me for saying something unpleasant, we Yongye will always produce one or two such geniuses every few years. It's just that
However, the vast majority of them either died halfway or did not grow sufficiently. There are only so many resources, and it is impossible for every genius to grow to the limit. How much they can grab is also their ability."
"That makes sense."
"So, for the same reason, it is not certain whether Zhao Jundu can grow up. In exchange for these two drops of green blood, the Lord also spent a lot of money. The price we paid is definitely not small. From another perspective, this is like you
The human race used a possible strong man in the future in exchange for current benefits. This transaction is completed, and the human race will gain a ten-year advantageous period no matter what. Whether you make a profit or a loss from this transaction depends entirely on your performance in these ten years.
How to develop.”
When the Grand Duke said this, he smiled meaningfully and said: "I heard that the Right Chancellor has great talents, but he failed to make good use of them in ten years, but it doesn't make sense."
The middle-aged man ignored his words and continued to ponder without replying.
The Grand Duke sneered: "As soon as the door to the new world is opened, the parliament will definitely go all out to open up the new world. If you lose a piece of floating land, you will lose it. Moreover, opening up the new world will definitely involve a lot of energy and resources. If you don't have green blood, you will miss it.
If we have no opportunity to open up a new world, then it goes without saying that these energy resources will be used to deal with you humans. You can think about the pros and cons yourself!"
The middle-aged man finally raised his head and said calmly: "Then it's settled. However, I want to eat those two fleets first."
The Grand Duke laughed and said: "You have a big appetite. However, in order to show sincerity, I can agree to this condition. The information will be sent over in a few days. This is not a small contribution, you have to make good arrangements!"
"This is naturally unnecessary."
"Then I'll leave."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "The journey is dangerous, and you have hurt your body, so you have to be more careful. It will be interesting if you can't go back to Yongye."
The Grand Duke laughed and said: "You can rest assured! There are many people who want my life, but there are also many people who want me alive. I will be fine along the way."
"I hope so, see you off."
The Grand Duke was put into the carriage that the middle-aged man came in and left slowly. The middle-aged man picked up a piece of paper and wrote down a dozen names on it. If you look carefully, they are all from the Empire.
The younger generation of geniuses, including Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan, are also on the list, and there are also a few unknown names on the list.
At the top of the list is Zhao Jundu.
But below Zhao Jundu and above Ji Tianqing, there are two other names, one is Song Zining, and the other is rarely known.
He first crossed out the word "Zhao Jundu" at the top with his pen, and then after thinking for a long time, he added the word "Li" next to it. There was only a surname and no given name.
He hesitated for a moment, then picked up his pen again and added Qianye next to the word Li. Looking at the word Qianye, he sighed softly, thought for a long time, and erased half of the name.
Then he wrote and drew the list below much faster. By the time it was almost dusk, a piece of paper was already scrawled in a mess.
He read it several times, burned the paper in the candlelight, and sighed again.
The middle-aged man walked out of the study and ordered: "Get the car ready and go back home."
A moment later, a carriage drove out of the manor and sped towards the imperial capital.
The night is getting darker, but the palace is not quiet.
Normally at this time, Empress Li would have returned to the palace to rest, but tonight, she specially moved to Fengwu Palace. This is the place where she specially meets foreign guests in the palace.
Someone was already waiting in Fengwu Palace, and it turned out to be the middle-aged scribe whom Fang and the Blood Tribe Grand Duke had separated from not long ago.
Empress Li entered the hall and sat down, his eyes turned to the scribe's face, slightly surprised, and said slowly: "The right prime minister is already here, and he is not an outsider, so why should he change his appearance and be secretive? But having said that, the right minister is here.
Xiang's magical skill of disguise is becoming more and more superb. If I hadn't known about it earlier, I might not even be able to see through your disguise in person."
The right prime minister stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face. His appearance changed instantly, even his body shape changed a little, and his temperament became calmer, calmer, longer and more profound. He saluted and said, "Thank you, empress, for your compliment."
Li Hou said calmly: "If you come to see me in such a secretive way and let the officials in the court know about it, it will inevitably lead to a lot of gossip."
The right minister smiled and said: "Even if I do everything openly, they will still have a lot of gossip. Instead of doing this, it is better to give me some excuses. This way, at least I know what they will say about me in the court. They will save them from having to spend every day just to make a fuss.
Stare at me."
"There is some truth to it. The right minister came here late at night, isn't it just to give people some excuses?"
"Of course not. I really have something important to report."
Empress Li waved her hand gently, and the chambermaid retreated to the back of the corridor. Immediately, a faint light curtain fell, covering Empress Li and the Right Prime Minister in it, making their shadows somewhat blurry. In this way, others could see the movements of Empress Li and the Right Prime Minister, but they
Can't hear what they are saying.
"You can talk now."
The Prime Minister on the right said solemnly: "I am here mainly because I want to ask for proof of something."
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that your Majesty has plans for the future of the Li family, but what is the basis for this plan?"
Empress Li's expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "What does the right minister think should be the basis?"
The right minister said: "I heard that a shocking genius will be born in the Li family soon. I wonder if the rumors are true or false?"
There was a chill on Empress Li's face. She was silent for a moment and then said, "Only you dare to ask this question. You want to know what the purpose is?"
However, the right minister was not afraid and said with a smile: "Looking at the look on the queen's face, this matter is probably going to be okay. In fact, Wei Chen's idea is very simple. Wei Chen has never made up his mind about what the queen said before. But in the future, will the Li family really have something to do?
The pillar of the country is born, so what’s the harm in lending my abilities to the Li family?"
Empress Li's hand trembled imperceptibly, then returned to normal, and said: "The right minister's decision seems to be a bit hasty."
"Wei Chen just wants to add another pillar to the empire and the human race. If the son of the Li family really has amazing talents, then I will definitely help him grow."
Empress Li drank tea, nodding her head imperceptibly.
PS: I finally caught up, I almost missed the deadline.
