Chapter 366 The most expensive life-extending medicine in history
Compared with Shia's confidence, Joseph's mood was gloomy.
His Chamber of Commerce was continuously squeezed out by the United Chamber of Commerce represented by the Custer family, the Mellon family temporarily defected, and coupled with Shia's suppression, the Dark Moon Territory left less and less space for him to develop. Not only that, Chiyou
On the other side of the territory, he was almost unable to withstand Kanita's various methods. These methods should have been instructed by his father Zhuoqie, and were obviously punishment for him keeping the secret from the imperial capital.
The harsh situation both internally and externally made Joseph restless and restless. If this continues, the foundation of years of painstaking efforts will become weaker and weaker, and sooner or later it will collapse. Now the only hope of turning around is the ally "Agulie"
Planned.
According to the plan of "Agulie", Joseph has openly provoked conflicts with Shia step by step, and even deliberately showed that he was forced to the edge of the cliff. This also caused many small families who saw the situation to be unfavorable.
Following the example of the Mellon family, he began to show his favor to the eldest princess in secret and overtly.
Of course, the real foundation that Joseph has accumulated over the years is far from this level. If he is determined to fight a protracted war with Shia, he can persist for at least ten years, but this passive situation of dying struggle is obviously not what Joseph wants to see.
He has to not only survive this difficulty, but also make a comeback.
The problem is, so far, there has been no movement from the Cloak Club.
Have you been fooled? Have you been taken advantage of by "Agulie"?
However, after thinking about it, "Agulie", whose true identity is the heir of the Beelzebub royal family, has no reason to watch Dark Moon's power completely fall into Shia's control. As the other party said, Dark Moon is Beelzebub's successor.
The most important foundation for the revival of the Xibu royal family, a series of previous plans were exactly for this purpose. And he, Joseph, the future Lord Chiyou, was the unique spokesperson.
At this time, Royce came to report that the Cloak Society began to gradually collect funds from the night market and the arena, and there seemed to be some movement. Joseph was thoughtful, and he was not a character who could trust people easily. Considering that Vasasha
The past events of "Agulie" were not disclosed to Royce, so as not to let the secrets slip away.
Now that he heard Royce's report, Joseph had no doubts in his heart, as if he had put down a big stone hanging over his head - "Agulie" had indeed started to take action, and then he only had to follow the steps step by step.
Plan to build momentum, and finally make a big gamble with Shia. Then you can truly control the Dark Moon.
By then, it doesn't matter even if Chi You temporarily loses his foothold, because that ally still has a series of follow-up methods against his father Zhuo Che, plus the praise of the Obsidian Regent of the God City. Defeat his father and younger brother, and board the
The throne of Lord Chiyou is not a dream.
After regaining his composure, Joseph finally showed a rare smile and felt that the gloom in his heart was swept away. He began to order Royce to arrange everything and prepare to officially launch it at the next regular meeting. But he didn't know that Roy
Si has been the spy arranged by "Agulie" around him since early on. As for Vasasha, she has long been Royce's real wife.
Chen Rui's plan is actually to let Joseph dig a hole and jump into it. Now that the hole has been gradually dug, Joseph is waiting for Joseph to jump in with a high degree of difficulty, and he is willing to do so.
The Imperial Capital of Fallen Angels.
The meeting of lords finally came to an end. After the lords returned to their territories to prepare funds, Obsidian convened various families in the imperial capital to hold a similar meeting. The elder families had long known some of the inside information about "Charles". They had already guessed that this kind of financing was related to
Regarding the benefits brought by that mysterious human being, it will definitely be a big deal that will make a profit without losing any money.
Although the bribery of "Charles" failed and the majority of the profits will be taken by the regent Obsidian, now that everyone can share the generous profits, it is a pretty good result. With the response of the elder families, each family worked together to
Obsidian once again raised a huge amount of money, and of course, the largest "shareholder" was the Regent himself.
Time passes day by day, and all the funds of the territory and family have been collected and concentrated. This is a terrifying astronomical figure. Those who own this money can truly deserve the words "wealth is as great as the country", even Obsidian is not exempt from it.
Move your mind.
However, His Highness the Regent wants not only wealth, but also power and more. Although this amount of money is astonishingly huge, it is only a small amount compared with future profits.
As a person in power, you cannot be fooled by immediate interests and must look further.
The ally "Charles" should also be such a person. As an illegitimate son of a royal family with a body of light, risking to come to the devil world for a great cause is an amazing courage in itself. No matter whether "Charles"'s plan to seize the heir in the ground world can succeed or not
, this cooperation will bring incomparable benefits to Obsidian and the Fallen Angel Empire he controls.
What's more, both parties also signed an equal contract, which is foolproof.
In Obsidian's eager anticipation, more than a month later, the figure of "Charles" finally appeared at the gate of the palace. Obsidian was overjoyed when he heard the news and hurried out of the palace to greet him in person, welcoming his ally all the way into the palace.
.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm a few days late due to some special reasons." Chen Rui bowed with a smile.
"It's okay!" Obsidian nodded in return. The two of them were now in the "honeymoon period" of cooperation as allies, and there was no need to be too polite.
"Your Highness, how is the fundraising going?"
"Everything has been put in place, and it has greatly exceeded the expected amount. It is a good thing that my ally has lived up to his fate." Obsidian said politely in an understatement, but his tone was slightly complacent. With so much funds and so many sources, can we
It was really not easy to count and collect them all in such a short time, and it took a lot of effort.
"His Highness's efficiency is really admirable." Chen Rui praised, "Fortunately, I lived up to my command and brought a precious gift to His Highness."
Obsidian was waiting for his words. When he saw a box that Chen Rui took out, his eyes lit up. He took it and opened it. Sure enough, a bottle of black potion was lying quietly inside, with a delicate nameplate next to it.
Engraved on it are the words "life-extending medicine".
There was a faint light in Obsidian's eyes. He opened the cork and smelled it. He felt a strange sense of vitality fill his heart and spleen, as if he had become ten years younger just by this.
Yes, this must be a life-extending potion! Obsidian suppressed the excitement in his heart. This time, he will never waste this bottle of precious potion that can extend life like he did with the super resurrection potion last time. For those who are already dying
For him, in the demon world where the black potion has been lost for many years, this is something that no amount of money can buy.
"This bottle is a life-extending potion that my teacher has recently successfully prepared. The purity is 100%!"
"Another 100%! That Grand Master Sun Simiao really has unpredictable skills!" Obsidian said sincerely in admiration. A type of black potion can only be taken once in a lifetime. Naturally, the higher the purity, the rarer it is. This means
It is believed that after taking the life-extending medicine, he can maximize his lifespan.
"Even a great master like Teacher has experienced many failures and spent a lot of effort and financial resources to produce such a top-level super black potion, but he finally succeeded. This is equivalent to adding an additional weight to our balance.
The heaviest weight... Your Highness. Since you have uncorked the bottle, it is best to take it immediately, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will decrease over time. I happen to be here. If there is anything abnormal, you can also take it.
Catch me, a liar, and punish me severely."
This sentence is actually... the truth, but sometimes, the more truthful it is, the less people believe it.
"Integrity, reliability, and a good sense of humor. Charles, you are such a man. No wonder the most beautiful mandala flower in the imperial capital has been a little absent-minded since you left. It turned out to be deceived by a liar.
Fangxin." Hei Yao joked and looked at the medicine bottle in his hand. After thinking for a while, he finally raised his head and drank it.
After a while, Obsidian's half-closed eyes slowly opened, with strong surprise in his purple pupils. At his level of power, he already had a certain sense of Shouyuan, but now he can clearly feel the changes in body functions.
Subtle changes, many subtle old wounds seem to heal automatically, and more importantly... it should be a strange feeling of life extension, at least two hundred years longer. Then it means that we can control the Fallen Angel Empire for another two hundred years! Power is
A good addictive thing, once you hold it, you never want to let it go.
But Obsidian never thought that if everything was lost, what would happen even if another twenty thousand years were added?
"It is indeed a 100% pure super life-extending potion! Once this potion appears in the demon world, it will definitely make everyone crazy!" Obsidian originally thought that the amount of money raised was too large and could shake the entire empire. Now, now
I also feel that it seems a bit small. With this kind of super potion at the end, there is almost no risk. No matter how big the investment is, it is definitely worth it.
"Seeing how His Highness looks now, I don't seem to have to worry about visiting the secret prison anymore." Chen Rui was confident in Obsidian's reaction and said with a calm smile.
"Charles, perhaps our cooperation will be the luckiest thing for each other. As long as the plan succeeds, we will be temporarily included in the history of our respective races and passed down through the ages. I firmly believe that this day is not far away." Obsidian.
The whole person's mental outlook seems to have undergone a qualitative change, and he has an unprecedented high-spiritedness.
Chen Rui smiled on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart: It is not the greatest "luck", but the greatest "misfortune", of course for you. And... the bottle of life-extending potion should be recorded in history, although there are some
The value cannot be measured simply by money, but this should be the most expensive bottle of black potion in the history of the demon world...
He knew very well that the root of Obsidian's enthusiasm was the naked mutual use relationship between the two parties. The reason why "Charles" was transformed from a prisoner to a guest was precisely because of interests.
Now that the interests of the two have been "bundled" together, both prosper and suffer, so Obsidian also hopes that the alliance can succeed and become a long-term source of supply of black potion, otherwise it will not bother to care about the success or failure of "Charles".
"Of course." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "There is another piece of news that should be good. The reason why I came a few days late this time is actually to follow the teacher to visit a close friend of his old man, who is the tool maker.
Grand Master, Grand Master has expressed considerable interest in a certain 'disobedient' artifact."
Hearing this "good news", Obsidian's ears suddenly stood up: Grand master of weapon making? Is today really a lucky day? Even the Sword of Fallen Angel, which has always been a headache, is expected to be solved?
