Chapter 879: Determine future negotiations (thank you for your answers)
In the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Iron Fist City, the heads of the three empires gathered again, and Agulie, the prince of the Fallen Angel Empire, attended as a special guest.
This time's talks are very similar to the peace talks in the Shadow Imperial Capital two years ago. However, in just two years, people and things have changed. It is still the same four negotiators, but the situation has been completely reversed.
The Fallen Angel Empire, which was the weakest at the beginning, has become an existence that the other two countries need to look up to in terms of economy and force. In this situation of ebb and flow, in order to maintain the balance of strength, the Shadow Emperor Catherine should have fought with the Blood Fiend
Emperor Lei Chan, but Her Majesty the Queen made an astonishing decision at the martial arts tournament and tied herself to Agule's warship, which everyone expected. In a sense, the Shadow Empire was already
An ally of the Fallen Angel Empire. Therefore, Lei Chan could not calm down. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the three emperors were in the Iron Fist Castle, he made a decisive decision to start negotiations immediately.
Both Kathleen and Shia seemed to attach great importance to this negotiation. Kathleen didn't even look at Chen Rui, because she represented the Shadow Empire, and Chen Rui knew this very well. However, now he and she
There is no need for formal communication between the two. If the love between the two lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?
Shia and Kathleen nodded to each other as always, without any special expression or hint.
Soon, the meeting began.
There is no doubt that the central topic of this meeting is the "confederacy" mentioned by Chen Rui in the finals. Two years ago, Lei Chan dismissed this system of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Now, due to the situation,
It was related to the life and death of the Blood Fiend Empire, so Lei Chan had to lower his arrogant head and go back to this path. Objectively speaking, this novel system is indeed quite attractive, and it can allow the three people to live in a peaceful environment far away from war.
The great empires go hand in hand and truly develop together.
During this period, Chen Rui was also thinking about how to further improve this "confederacy" based on the actual situation of the demon world. Now he expressed some of his thoughts and understandings. Kathleen had obviously done the corresponding homework and put forward some very useful ideas.
Constructive opinions are more about striving for greater interests for the Shadow Empire.
Shia also put forward her own conditions. The Fallen Angel Empire is currently the strongest empire, but all this is because of Chen Rui. According to Chen Rui's oath in the finals, as long as the confederation is established, he will truly withdraw and no longer
Interfering in the internal affairs of the Confederacy, therefore, in order for the Fallen Angel Empire to maintain its long-term dominant position and main voice in the future alliance, many aspects need to be adjusted and transitioned to further ensure its own interests.
Lei Chan just listened without saying a word at first, and then the first time he spoke was to object, objecting to Catherine's suggestion that other royal forces can join the confederation and have a certain independent voice.
Catherine's intention is to "block it rather than open it up", to give the remaining four declining royal families a place, to fundamentally eliminate the causes of the unrest, and to fundamentally solve one of the causes of the unrest in the demon world; Lei Chan's opinion is to use strong means to suppress or even
Eradicate all the dilapidated royal families that cannot surrender and eradicate them by their roots.
This shows the characteristics between Kathleen and Lei Chan. Kathleen is not stubborn. She just uses the hidden strong men participating in the martial arts competition as an example to point out that the Demon Realm is vast and cannot be completely exterminated.
A careless move may backfire on the ruined royal family. Allowing them to participate in the confederation is not only a show of mercy, but also a strategy of retreat in order to advance.
Catherine's eloquence and planning were indeed extraordinary. Lei Chan couldn't find a more convincing argument and asked: "If those royal families insist on going their own way..."
"Huairou does not mean weakness or appeasement. Those who undermine the peace of the empire and the alliance will be despised by the entire demon world. I will also not hesitate to wield a butcher knife stained with blood." Catherine said lightly, but there was no trace of it in her tone.
Don't hide your murderous spirit.
Lei Chan knew very well how this "old friend" ascended to the throne, and finally nodded. After Catherine convinced Lei Chan, the topic changed and the focus turned to magic games.
She put forward a special condition, which was to require the Fallen Angel Empire to unconditionally share magic game technology and benefits. This benefit was not only economic, but also military.
The Fallen Angel Empire's military parade some time ago made everyone realize that magic games are not only a huge money tree, a special world to improve personal practice, but also an unimaginable "special forces" training base. Today's magic spearmen
, the Constructed Warriors have entered the official legion establishment of the Fallen Angel Empire, and more units are likely to appear in the future.
Katherine specifically quoted Chen Rui's previous words - the original intention of the establishment of the Confederation was to stay away from war and share peace. The three countries would cooperate with each other and promote jointly in various fields such as economy and military. It is impossible for the Fallen Angel Empire to become the dominant one.
Otherwise, the true meaning of confederation will be lost. If the Fallen Angel Empire is unwilling to share, then the magic game must be banned.
Chen Rui secretly muttered that the child's mother was really cruel, but he would definitely not agree to ban it. Magic games not only involve the economy and military, but also relate to his practice and plan to collect the power of faith, and even more to the future of the demon world.
.
Facing Chen Rui's veto, Kathleen's attitude was extremely resolute and she did not give in at all because of her personal relationship with Chen Rui. At this negotiation table, she represented the interests of the Shadow Empire.
Lei Chan naturally supported this condition.
"Sharing of economic gains can be considered, and partial sharing of military benefits can be considered, but it is technically impossible, and it is even more impossible to ban magic games!" Chen Rui pondered for a moment, then looked at the clerks and guards around him, "I am not just doing this for myself.
Or the interests of the Fallen Angel Empire, the specific reasons...I can explain, but not with the fifth person present."
Lei Chan waved his hand, and everyone except the three emperors and Chen Rui retreated, and activated the soundproof magic circle.
"First of all, let me explain that my strength actually comes from a special inheritance, the ancient alchemical civilization."
As soon as these words came out, it goes without saying that Shia, Lei Chan and Kathleen both nodded in agreement. Chen Rui had personally admitted this to Kathleen, and Lei Chan had also seen the huge fortress in Varok Fortress.
The City in the Sky, as well as the many ancient guardians who appeared in the Fallen Angels Military Parade, should all be due to the ancient alchemical civilization. This can also reasonably explain why "Agulie" can become the great master of alchemy that shocked the devil world, or in other words
, the extraordinary increase in strength of "Agulie" is also due to this reason.
"The technical principle of the magic game is actually a kingdom-like illusion. Users can obtain real exercise and cultivation effects in the illusion. There is a secret crystal in each game helmet, and a certain amount of life is stored in the secret crystal.
Illusion power, once it is exhausted, must be re-injected. This is why the game requires recharging. The power of the illusion of the kingdom is not equivalent to the kingdom of super-powerful people, but is based on the central life crystal of the ancient alchemical civilization.
The special power generated cannot be controlled or used by anyone except me, the successor. Therefore, the shared technology that Her Majesty Catherine just mentioned is impossible to achieve, both theoretically and practically."
Katherine and Lei Chan had actually sent special personnel to study magic games a long time ago, and had also tried to "copycat" them, but they failed without exception. Naturally, it was clear that Chen Rui's explanation was not perfunctory.
"In fact, I developed this magic game not just for profit or to cultivate a small number of operators of ancient weapons, but for another reason, an important reason related to the future life and death of the demon world." Chen Rui also added the "magic gun"
It logically belongs to the ancient alchemical civilization. In fact, the magic gun was created by him based on the magic gun blueprint jointly studied by the elf master Fenoa and the late dwarf master Rick, combined with his limited knowledge of firearms in his previous life.
The magic firearms in the game are actually still at the semi-automatic level, but "Crystal Phoenix" has successfully developed a fully automatic rifle, and its lethality is even higher.
Chen Rui's next goal is to develop firearms that are more suitable for this world and more powerful (such as the Demon World version of the Desert Eagle, the Demon World version of the M200 Intervenor, etc.). Although it cannot replace the personal practice and force of the strong, it can
The combat effectiveness of ordinary people will be increased several times or even dozens of times, or corresponding "professions" will be derived as in the game.
Since firearms have entered the stage of this dimension, they are destined not to be unknown, and they have no doubt about Chen Rui.
"Is it related to the future life and death of the demon world?" Even Lei Chan couldn't help but interjected: "Are you sure you're not being alarmist?"
Chen Rui shook his head and looked solemn: "Have you ever heard of the term 'abyss'?"
Lei Chan shook his head to express his ignorance, while Catherine frowned and said, "I have studied ancient documents. The word 'abyss' represents 'taboo' in ancient language, but the specific meaning is not clear.
"
"Taboo?" Chen Rui remembered that Tetnis had said the same thing, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Instead of explaining it with words, it is better... to verify it with your own eyes."
As he spoke, Chen Rui's hand glowed with a faint blue light, and everyone felt that the scene around them changed and they were already in another place. The three of them were not ordinary people, and they soon understood that this was just Chen Rui's performance.
A kind of illusion. As soon as they calmed down, the scene in front of them made the three of them horrified and moved.
Endless fiery red, filled with suffocating heat, the sight is a torrent of tidal waves, a torrent of strange creatures.
Individually, these creatures are not very strong, they are probably at the level of high-level demons, but what is terrifying is the endless number, millions, tens of millions, billions?
After those strange red flower power increases, the strength of most creatures leapt to the level of Demon King to Great Demon King, and they surged forward. What appeared in front were hundreds of translucent creatures that were more than ten meters long and about six meters high.
, with strong limbs and a long tail, it is exactly the demon emperor-level ancient guardian crystal monster seen in the military parade.
The Demon Emperor faced the Demon King or the Great Demon King, and was undoubtedly sweeping. In the surrounding force fields, hundreds of enemies were wiped out. However, facing millions, tens of millions, or even billions of Demon Kings and Great Demons,
When he was the Demon King, the force field of the crystal behemoth seemed so insignificant, and he was soon completely submerged in the terrifying "tide".
Judging from the subsequent "sea tides" that appeared one after another, this kind of creature was only a relatively low-level existence. No matter whether high-level or low-level creatures, they all have only one characteristic, and that is destruction.
Wherever he passed, there was no life left, only a piece of scorched earth.
The image gradually became thinner, and the three emperors returned to the meeting hall. Chen Rui's voice rang out: "This is the power of the abyss. What you see is just a small part of the tip of the iceberg. I can tell you frankly that powerful
For example, the ancient alchemical civilization, including many other civilizations that I don't know about... were completely destroyed because of this."
Although it was the first time for Shia to see this image, she had heard a few words about the abyss from Chen Rui before, so she was somewhat mentally prepared. However, it was the first time for Lei Chan and Katherine to see the abyss.
It was so terrifying that his eyes were full of shock that was hard to conceal.
The two of them realized one thing at the same time. Facing such a terrifying abyss, if it were the entire demon world, no, plus the ground world, I'm afraid...
Chen Rui's next few words made the three emperors change their expressions at the same time.
"There is bad news. As far as I know, the Abyss Clan still exists, but it was sealed somewhere for some reason. Over the years, they have been trying their best to return to this place that is inherited.
A world on the 'Main Plane'. There are many believers in the Demon World who secretly worship the Abyss. I have destroyed more than one altar of the Abyss. The existence of these people is more important to the three empires and the entire Demon World than to the 'Blood Annihilation'
Even more terrifying. Let me boldly assert here that the return of the abyss is probably... only a matter of time."
"Could it be that those monsters and copies you set up in the magic game..." Kathleen's mind turned quickly, thinking of the relevant information about the magic game, and she immediately reacted.
"Smart," Chen Rui smiled slightly and praised his woman unceremoniously, "there are quite a few monsters and specially made copies in magic games, which are created to imitate the characteristics and habits of abyssal creatures in order to deal with the future.
Possible abyssal disasters. I hope that even if one day we leave this world, our descendants can maintain strong confidence and the most effective combat effectiveness when facing these terrible creatures that suddenly appear."
Lei Chan's eyes finally changed when he looked at Chen Rui, showing respect for the first time.
Kathleen and Shia, who knew Chen Rui's true identity, were deeply touched, and looked at him with a touch of tenderness in their eyes.
"Here is the woman I love, and the friends I share life and death with. This is my home, and I will protect it and everything I cherish at the cost of my life."
This man not only says this, but also does it all the time.
Although he is a human and this is the devil world, this is his home, his real home. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
