The carriage was parked in the courtyard. Although it was less than half a kilometer away from the prosperous Qiyin Avenue, the courtyard seemed quiet and close to nature.
Su Xiao walked out of the carriage, the scent of flowers wafting over him. Although the courtyard he was in was not big, it was well taken care of. It had flower beds, rockeries, ornamental pools, etc. There were also two jujube trees in the yard, and there were already some jujubes.
rosy,.
Symmetrical to this unique courtyard is a three-story mansion. Even from a modern perspective, this mansion is impeccable.
"Doctor Bai Ye, the inner city has a curfew after 7pm every night. Don't go out casually. Even if you are a distinguished guest invited by Lord Poseidon, it will be very troublesome to be detained by the night watch team."
Life Priest Sophia poked her head out of the carriage and said this, then gave orders to the two silly sea beasts pulling the carriage. After a while, the carriage left the courtyard, and Sophia should have gone to Poseidon to recover her life.
Su Xiao didn't receive an invitation. After arriving in the main city, Sophia didn't mention that Poseidon wanted to see him, as if she just came here.
Su Xiao pushed the door open and walked into the mansion where she was going to live temporarily. After Bubo Wang and Baha checked all the rooms on the first to third floors, they found no surveillance methods.
This represents Poseidon's attitude. He welcomes Su Xiao's arrival, but is not eager to do so. He is not planning to meet Su Xiao in the near future.
In Su Xiao's view, this is a very wise approach. If he wins over a person and has plenty of time, he will never contact that person immediately. Instead, he will observe for a period of time and then use secret means to make that person
, if there is friction with the forces that are hostile to you, it is best to make enemies.
At this time, you can stand up to protect that person, which will not only make the enemy uncomfortable, but also make the person you win over become more determined.
This is just a very common method, to force that person to stand in line and prevent the other party from relying on their talents and arrogance.
In Su Xiao's view, Poseidon is currently using this method to 'entertain' himself.
The main city is very large, far larger than the city in our imagination. The area here is close to that of a real province, with a population of about 10 million.
The main city is divided into many jurisdictions, of which the pastoral area, outflow area and other areas are the largest. The biggest feature here is that it is vast and sparsely populated, resulting in few multi-story apartments.
This place is called a city mainly because of the 100-meter-high city wall on the edge of the territory. What is certain is that it was definitely not built by manpower. The amount of work required was N times that of building the Great Wall. The situation in the painted world can withstand
It would be good to live in a beast disaster, but such a historical construction project would never happen.
Even if you use extraordinary power to build the city wall on the edge of the city, it is still an amazing thing.
Within the scope of the main city, there are mountains, rivers, forests, etc., surrounded by walls, it must be an aristocratic or wealthy area. If you find yourself climbing a mountain road and there are buildings on both sides, you should be careful.
There is a high probability of accidentally entering a slum. Whether you can come out alive depends on your strength, clothing, etc.
Either you are extremely strong or extremely poor, otherwise don't go to the slums, let alone go to one of several slums called the Wolf Spider District.
The refugees there are like tarantulas hiding in shacks. When they go to the slums, they will see children who are so hungry that they are as thin as bones, and old people who die of illness on the roadside. It is an absolute lawless place, where hallucinogens are traded,
Prostitutes' dens, auctions of rare animals and organs, etc.
Compared with several slums, the pastoral area is a different situation. Even if the people here are not wealthy, they still have enough food and clothing. As long as they settle down, farming is the absolute first step, and the second step is animal husbandry.
Industrial breeding.
The Tarantula District and the Pastoral District, one is a dark criminal area, and the other is a simple laborer. The contrast between the two is too great. In fact, this also reveals a situation. Poseidon's control of the main city is not as strong as imagined.
Such great power is in your hands.
At this point, Su Xiao had thought before that if Poseidon had great power in the main city, there would be no need to allow the seven outer sanctuary cities to govern themselves. These were all hidden dangers.
Su Xiao guessed that Poseidon's intention was to calm down the situation in the main city first, and then when he had enough energy, he would clean up the seven shelter cities outside.
The current situation is likely to be that Poseidon and the hostile forces in the main city are in a stalemate. The forces on both sides are entrenched in the main city. It is impossible to fight on a large scale. In that case, even if they win, most of the territory of the main city will be lost.
will become ruins.
Without external supplies, the main city will become very poor and will remain poor for hundreds of years.
So the two parties were at a standstill, and the two sides were fighting constantly, but it was only for individuals and would never lead to a large-scale conflict. In other words, in the fight between Poseidon and the big man, the subordinates of the two parties would not listen to the kind of large-scale conflict.
The order to fight.
Although the main city is big, this is under the sea. The home you live in = your own life + the life of your whole family. Compared with the safety of your home, the orders of those in power have to step back. Without your home, your whole family will die. If you disobey
The order is to die alone, and there is a small chance that the whole family will die.
Su Xiao thinks that the current situation is very good. Before he came, he was very worried that Poseidon's family would be monopolized and it would be difficult. Now it seems that Poseidon has an opponent. Although it is impossible for that opponent to be 50-50 against him, he still allows him to fight.
It's uncomfortable, at least it's an eyesore.
From this point of view, Poseidon's subsequent operation is basically to not meet him first, and then let himself inadvertently provoke Poseidon's opponent, and then protect himself.
In this way, Poseidon not only defeated his opponent, but also forced Su Xiao to take sides. In addition, he saved a large amount of 'loyalty fee' that should have been paid to Su Xiao, killing three birds with one stone.
Su Xiao came to the underwater world. Although his mission was not to kill Poseidon, he was looking for scraps of the scroll and to collect wool. If Poseidon did not collect the wool, he would suffer a huge loss.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao decided to cooperate with professionals in the field of wool harvesting. He took out a gold coin from the storage space.
Don't underestimate this gold coin. When Su Xiao led hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry to battle in Canglong Continent, a wolf cavalry team was performing a blockade mission behind enemy lines. It was robbed from a high official in the royal city and later presented to Su Xiao. It is said that this is
There were only 99 coins minted by a certain Grand Duke in ancient times. Su Xiao didn't know the details. Although this thing has no attribute introduction, it is an item that can be taken out of Canglong Continent.
Ding~
The Grand Duke's gold coin was bounced away and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The next second, a shoe stepped on it.
"My dear friend, do you have business with Caesar?"
Caesar appeared and sat opposite Su Xiao. The man leaned over and picked up the apples in the fruit bowl, and also took the three dates away and put them into his butt pocket. His technique was natural and skillful.
Su Xiao did have a big deal with Caesar, but he first needed to know Caesar's identity in the main city.
"Caesar, how long have you been here?"
"Today is the fourth day."
Caesar didn't hide it. According to this calculation, when Su Xiao was still painting the castle in the world, Caesar was here.
"What is your identity here?"
"Master of Pharmacy."
"Cough~"
A stream of cola came out of BuBoWang's nostrils, and the test tube in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Bubu, you don't believe in my strength."
"Woof?"
Bubuwang was confused, especially confused. It had always felt that Caesar was inferior to it in alchemy.
This is not because Bubo Wang is arrogant. When they were in the Demon Sea, after Su Xiao cooperated with Caesar, he promised to teach Caesar some knowledge of alchemical potions. After teaching and teaching, Caesar did not learn much, but Bubo Wang, who was watching from the sidelines, did.
In Su Xiao's team, except for Eminem, who knows nothing about alchemy, the others all know a little bit about it under the influence of hearing and seeing, but there is a huge gap between them and Su Xiao, who has deciphered the alchemy secret book.
"In other words, Poseidon thinks you are a master of pharmacy?"
Su Xiao's words made Caesar raise his chin slightly and said seriously: "What does it mean to think, I do."
There was such a humble smile on Caesar's face, but unfortunately, it didn't have this temperament.
"How did you fool yourself?"
"Um~, use the leftover potions you used in the Church of the Sun."
Caesar's expression was as usual. With his shamelessness, he didn't care at all when this was revealed.
After hearing what Caesar said, Su Xiao no longer cared about this matter. As long as other alchemists did not appear, his plan would not be disrupted.
"I kept you waiting. I had an enmity with the sunbird before, so I could only stew it and try it."
Su Xiao took out a lunch box, which contained sunbird stewed mushrooms. Caesar swallowed his saliva, then waved his hand, indicating that he had no appetite and would not eat. This guy had obviously guessed something.
Su Xiaozhi said that Caesar had been waiting for a long time because he thought that Caesar's visit to the main city disguised as a pharmacy master would be harmful but not beneficial. After being exposed, all kinds of troubles would continue.
The reason why Caesar did this was because he was sure that Su Xiao would come to the main city of the underwater world. This is not difficult to guess. Poseidon has a large number of scroll fragments. As a participant in the battle for the scroll, Su Xiao will certainly come here.
When Su Xiaohui arrived, Caesar disguised himself as a pharmacist, which was equivalent to seizing the trademark in advance. The implication was that he took the initiative to join the group this time.
Caesar came three days earlier. Within these three days, with his methods, he must have established a large number of contacts and channels. The problem is that he only has contacts and channels, but no real talent or knowledge.
This is the cleverness of Caesar. When he cooperates with anyone, he must ensure that his own role is irreplaceable. For example, in the Church of the Sun, if someone else becomes the quartermaster, can he replace Caesar in the plan?
The answer is absolutely impossible.
Now Caesar has made himself irreplaceable. By pretending to be a pharmacist, he can not only obtain a lot of benefits through alchemy potions, but also avoid the risk of exposure. Caesar's public appearances, connections, channels, sales, etc. are all controlled by him.
Responsible.
Su Xiao needs the [Divine Blood Crystal] very much. The 15 grams he obtained before is like plugging the teeth of the [Divine Cutting Ring]. Not to mention 15 grams, even 150 grams or 1500 grams are not enough. Therefore, [Divine Blood Crystal]
Crystal] is the first priority resource to obtain.
Su Xiao can earn [Sacred Blood Crystals] as a doctor who can suppress lycanthropy, plus Caesar's pharmaceutical business and the channels derived from it.
This is a small goal at this stage, to earn 10 kilograms of [God Blood Crystal]. Regarding how to arrange Poseidon, we have to enter the planning stage.
In this regard, Su Xiao will not join forces with Wood and Sias to deal with Poseidon separately. Even if one of them is exposed, they will not be blamed. One can run away first, and the remaining two will continue to arrange Poseidon, working together internally and externally.
In times of danger, you can also sell each other, abandon the pawn to save the handsome, the one who progresses more smoothly will be the handsome, and the other will take the blame and run away, allowing the plan to continue.
If you want to arrange Poseidon, you need a breakthrough. Su Xiao's current target is Sophia, the eldest daughter of Poseidon. First, make this woman doubt her life, and then follow this line to start arranging Poseidon.
Sophia is Breakthrough 1, and there is another breakthrough. She is the leader of the forces hostile to Poseidon in the main city. This aspect is Su Xiao's personal speculation, and it is not known whether this person exists.
"Caesar, in the main city, Poseidon is the absolute ruler?"
"Yes, he has the most power, but he rarely shows up."
"Is this so?"
Su Xiao felt secretly disappointed, maybe his previous inference was wrong.
"Actually, it's not accurate to say that. Poseidon does control the entire main city, but the big nobles in the city will not let him control it. More importantly, Os Conrad, this guy is very ruthless and dares to fight with
Go against Poseidon."
When Caesar said this, he took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere. He had just eaten two, and then he poured the melon seeds on the table. The melon seeds became wet again.
"Os Conrad?"
"Yes, Os Conrad, he is the only person in the main city who dares to challenge Poseidon."
"Who is he? He is so awesome."
Hearing Bach's question, Caesar smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the eldest son of Poseidon. He has a dream, which is to kill his father."
