goddess of revolution

Chapter 378 The wind is roaring and the horse is screaming, I am the best in the art of struggle

"I want to borrow your communication room for a while..."

"Use whatever you want, what's yours is mine, ah no, what's mine is yours, hehe..."

Xiao Longnv put the sofa and coffee table in the communication room and arranged it as a temporary office.Serving tea and serving snacks aside, he obediently beat Li Qi's shoulders and rubbed his head.Although he knew that she had ulterior motives, Li Qi felt that his teaching was not in vain.

Enjoying the disciple's filial piety, Li Qi relaxed and reorganized the situation in his mind.

The overall situation cannot be ignored. Digesting the immigrants from the Shadow City and absorbing the power of the Storm Islands to the mainland is the most important thing and cannot be affected or disturbed in any way.

However, the Norton incident will definitely make Teresia notice the development of Fei Gong. The power displayed by Little Red Riding Hood in the Storm Islands, coupled with Hathaway's "difference plan", will also make her vigilant against her own power.

From this point of view, my idea of ​​controlling the magician affairs of the Alliance of Order is wishful thinking again, and Teresia will not allow herself to enter the power core of the alliance.

But if you shrink your eggs like this, like the Change of the King's Hall, and go back with a bunch of meritless awards wholesaled by Theresia, you will be too sorry for Little Red Riding Hood and what you have done in the Storm Islands.And if she is too weak, Theresia will definitely push her forward and suppress herself further. Maybe the immigrants will be stopped by Theresia, which is what Hathaway is happy to see.

How to ensure that the achievements of the Storm Islands will not be infringed, and get the maximum benefit from the general trend of the return of magicians to the mainland, and at the same time prevent the blood shed by the martyrs in Norton from being wasted?
Xiaolongnv's small hands gently rubbed his temples, the girl's body fragrance mixed with the peculiar breath of the dragon's blood, made Li Qi feel extremely comfortable, and his thoughts diverged step by step.

Although Teresia gained a powerful ally, she had to face a huge contradiction.

To maintain the original aristocratic feudal order, she must stop magicians from encroaching on secular power.But any containment measures will strengthen the tendency of the alliance of order to centralize power, which is what she does not want to see.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction, how will she weigh and choose?

She has already made a choice to organize disaster relief operations vigorously and suppress the revolution in the Principality of Norton with an iron fist.

Maybe she hasn't realized it yet, but she has tasted the taste of centralization, and she should have understood that without centralizing power, she cannot achieve her goals by relying on her own strength and prestige alone.

She may think that her personal centralization is not equal to the centralization of the Alliance of Order, nor will it damage the order she pursues.

As long as Valentine's Cathedral is captured, the Guardian Shield is recognized, the loyal court collapses, and the war is over.

The little friends gathered for the same goal go back to their respective homes and enjoy family happiness with their relatives.The soldiers and generals were disarmed and returned to the fields, and lived a happy life.Kaim is singing and dancing with the gods in the sky, and the spokesperson can also return to a peaceful and ordinary life and be a benevolent and wise king.

she would think so...

From her standpoint, how would she view herself and Hathaway?
Even if all her power is brought out, she still can't get on the stage, and she is nested in the sinister God's Meteor Plateau, far away from the center of the mainland. Even if she is vigilant, Teresia should still be on guard against herself.

The focus of her attention must be Hathaway. This ally is too powerful, and if she doesn't handle it well, she will be taken over by others.The psychological shadow of the magic empire in the first era is not a ghost story for adults to scare children for the king.

This means that as long as you are tougher and don't aim to squeeze into the power core of the Alliance of Order, but settle for the next best thing and ask for some substantive interests that do not affect the overall situation, Theresia will give in.

The perspective then shifted to Hathaway, who knew herself much better than Teresia.Can't wait to use the estrangement, the purpose is not only to drive himself away from Teresia, so as not to sing against her, but also to suppress his own growth intentions.When the "next long river of history" arrives, we can calmly deal with our malnourished enemy.

But did Hathaway's wisdom only go so far?Didn't you see that in this way, the existence of the magician in the Alliance of Order is too conspicuous, which will make Theresia work harder to suppress and divide the magician?

Hathaway is ice and snow smart... No, she is a cunning and despicable beauty snake who doesn't even care about morals when she is serious. She can definitely think of it, so what is her countermeasure?
According to the simplest logic, the most effective way should be to introduce another ally, not only has to be a heavyweight, but also has no fundamental conflict with the magician.

But on the stage of the League of Order, what other heavyweight roles are there?
Xiao Longnu held Li Qi's head with her elbows, hugged him deeply in her arms, and shook him gently.Although the back of his head was a little knocked, the long-lost feeling of being a protagonist reappeared in another world, which made him feel so comfortable that he almost groaned.

This big loli has also degenerated to the point where she would sell her morals for the sake of Jin Puer.

Forget it, she doesn't even have a conscience, so why keep her integrity?

Wait, will Hathaway... have an idea for the Goddess of Merchant and the Dragon Clan?

The Church of the Goddess of Commerce is closely related to the Dragon Clan's Business Federation, but they are independent of each other.

The former, based on the Temple of Commerce, provides gold bushel savings, exchange, and loan services, and also operates teleportation business, which is equivalent to the banking group of the earth world.Of course, the form is still very rudimentary, and it still stays in the "bench" (Bank) state when the bank was just developed in the early Middle Ages.

The Temple of Commerce is committed to popularizing the Golden Bull to all aspects of Finn society, using the Golden Bull to connect the souls of mortals and gain faith.Judging from the current situation, at least half of this goal has been achieved in a society composed of extraordinary classes.

However, at the bottom of extraordinary society, as well as in civilian society, the silver pennies minted by each country are the main currency of circulation.It can also be seen from this that the Temple of Commerce has not yet shown its advancement relative to the theocracy of the church and the feudal order of the aristocracy, and is still attached to the old order.

Compared with the business temple, the business association controlled by the dragon clan is a hodgepodge.From wandering shopkeepers to workshop suppliers, from monopoly firms to royal merchants, there are all kinds of strange things.But it's also simple to sum up, it's... Daoye.

In contrast, Xiaolongnv, who has been influenced by her own advanced thinking, is turning her attention to industrial investment, representing a part of the dragon clan who yearns for advancement and hopes for career sublimation.

The business forces formed by the Goddess of Commerce and the Dragon Clan have close contacts with magicians, but the City of Silver does not have a business temple, which is enough to show that magicians actually look down on these unproductive guys.When Pian An was in the Storm Islands, he didn't need foreign capital and business support.

However, the Storm Islands have undergone major changes, and the magicians have suffered heavy losses. If they want to open up a new situation on the mainland, they need everything.Facing the olive branch extended by commercial forces, the magician will definitely not refuse.

What is the attitude of the business forces here?
Just look at what the little dragon girl is doing...

A magician who holds magic knowledge and magic guidance technology, and a businessman who holds gold bushes, channels and markets, the combination of these two parties is a complete chemical reaction!
The representative figures of various forces were brought out, and the stage was lively...

Teresia raised the flag in front, seeing that she had the ambition to lift the stage, she kicked into the corner and beat the side drum.

He pulled Hathaway onto the stage and won more applause. Of course Teresia welcomed it, but she had to work hard to push Hathaway to the back to prevent her from stealing the spotlight.

Right behind the two, Xiao Longnu looked at herself, then at Hathaway, and resolutely extended her hand to Hathaway.

How should I sing on this four-person stage?

By the way, I have to correct one point. Neither Hathaway nor Xiaolongnv represent their respective forces. Whether it is a magician or a businessman, if you look closely, they all have their own demands.

Thinking about it this way, the role I need to play is... a shit stirrer.

Li Qi made up his mind, patted Xiao Longnv's hand and said: "The service is good, I will reward you later."

"haha……"

The little dragon girl giggled happily, and then stopped her smile for a moment: "If the reward has nothing to do with gold bushels, don't you want to sleep tonight! I will stalk you to death!"

After driving away the little dragon girl, Li Qi called Hathaway with the book of trade winds.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Hathaway finally appeared.Because of the turbulent flow of magic power, her image is a little blurred, and it is distorted from time to time, and the details of her face are not clear at all.

Hathaway's tone was warm and polite: "I heard that you were urgently recalled by the queen, and I didn't even have time to see you off."

Then confirm to him: "The Queen should know everything, right?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course the queen knows everything, but time is limited, and I didn't bother her with those insignificant details."

Then his tone became ambiguous: "Are you relieved? Honey?"

"Uh...haha..."

Hathaway's laughter was a little unnatural, but she immediately calmed down: "Li Qi, what are you talking about? When did we get along well enough to be called that? Or...are you interested in me? Want to pursue me?"

Li Qi helped her explain: "The Queen thinks of us this way, and you deny it. Could it be that you didn't pay attention when communicating with her, which caused her to misunderstand?"

Hathaway said firmly: "That must be a misunderstanding!"

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that so? That's great! Originally, I thought that since you have such a heart for me, I should have a full communication with you before making those suggestions. Now I can give them peace of mind. .”

Hathaway was stunned: "Admonishment?"

"Yes, there are many "Magician Naturalization Law", "Magic Tower Control Law", "Magician Knighthood Regulations", Li Qi said leisurely: "Oh, I almost forgot, there is also "Magic Technology and Business Control Law. I will also suggest that the queen set up a magical affairs committee in the League of Order, led by the queen herself, to take good care of you magicians."

"Li Qi..."

Hathaway was obviously angry: "Are you threatening me!?"

She snorted: "These decrees are all measures to strengthen power, and will make the alliance of the country and order take a path that the queen does not want to see. How can she accept it?"

Li Qi sighed: "Under the pressure of reality, the queen has to make changes. Take disaster relief as an example, can the old order she hopes to see achieve the current level? But she still did it. What does it mean? ?”

Hathaway is still resisting: "If the queen really changes her mind, it doesn't matter if you join or not."

Li Qi put his cards on the table: "The queen trusts me in the technical details of the law. You should also know that I know everything about you... oh, about magicians."

Hathaway was silent, and after a moment, she sighed: "Well, how can I shut you up about these things?"

Li Qishun stuttered and said: "Dear Hathaway, we have such a tacit understanding, we are really a good match."

At this time, even if Xiao Longnu was listening, she would still be at a loss, and only the two of them who had a deep understanding could complete a confrontation in a few words.

Obviously, Hathaway lost.

But this is not Li Qi's real intention...

Hathaway was about to be coquettish, but Li Qi said, "I want the Principality of Norton."

His tone was very serious: "I will ask the Queen for the title of Earl or even Marquis of the Dukedom of Norton, and then become the regent or supervisor of the Dukedom. Please support me from your perspective. You should know how to do it."

"Your appetite is really not small..."

Although Hathaway said so, she could faintly hear a sigh of relief.

She was a little puzzled again: "Why do you ask me for this matter? With your relationship, you can just ask the queen directly to ask for it? And we have discussed that place before. It is sparsely populated and the environment is bad. It is not worth much. It should be Easy to do, right?"

Li Qi sneered: "Thanks to you, my dear, the Queen is going to send me back to the Shenyun Plateau again. Speaking of which, this is the compensation you have to pay me."

"Oh, Your Majesty is really jealous." Hathaway smiled triumphantly: "Hehe..."

She said sharply: "I agreed, but I can't guarantee the final result. You also remember what you should do."

Li Qi nodded: "Then, happy cooperation."

Hathaway smiled and said, "Happy cooperation."

After the communication ended, Hathaway nestled into the sofa in the Ted Family Magic Tower, raised her jaw, and frowned deeply.

"Why did Li Qi want the Principality of Norton?"

She coughed and said, "Misia, check the news related to Norton Principality."

A soft female voice sounded in the air, this is her tower spirit: "Okay, miss."

Not long after, Tarin Misia reported: "There was a turmoil in the Principality of Norton two days ago. The Grand Duke was assassinated. The Parliament attempted to seize the power of the Principality, but Queen Theresia quickly sent troops to suppress it."

An image was projected in the air. Soldiers wearing uniforms of the Alliance of Order held magic guns and supervised the workers to hang corpses on the gallows by the roadside.The gallows snaked and circled along the mountain road, extending to the end of the field of vision.

Ta Ling explained: "According to the report of the Associated Press, this was a riot instigated by espionage espionage. More than 3000 rioters were killed by the Army of the Alliance of Order, and more than 2000 people were hanged. Different from this, this riot was an uprising of the local people against the grand duke’s excessive expropriation. Yesterday, nearly 5000 rebels were killed, and more than [-] people were executed afterwards.”

"Tsk tsk..."

This scene didn't move Hathaway much, she just thought of it: "Another Shadow City, no wonder Li Qi is so interested, then I will..."

She thought of something again: "Wait, this place is really a good place for magicians."

What is the harsh environment, can it be worse than the previous Storm Islands?
She did some research on this place when she was discussing with Li Qi to advance the parliamentary process.Compared with other countries, the power of this place is very fragmented. If magicians regard this place as a fulcrum of the mainland and flood in, within three years, the Principality of Norton will be renamed the Lord of Norton United Magic Tower up.

Although she also advocates that magicians go deep into the secular society and integrate with ordinary people in the mainland, it does not mean that magicians must accept strict restrictions, let alone tolerate being treated differently.

Finding a foothold to be a magician's base is also a request from the Supreme Council, and she is still worried about how to achieve this goal.She even prepared a plan to use the overthrown northern country as a base, but that not only meant that the magician had to sacrifice his family and money, and even had to shed blood and sacrifice to win it, Teresia also felt scruples.

Now it seems that Norton Principality is a good choice.

I can completely relay Li Qi's request to Theresia, and this is also the fulfillment of the obligation of an "ally".With a proper reminder of his intentions, Teresia will definitely not hand over the Principality of Norton to him.At this time, Teresia made a request for a magician to settle in. After weighing the pros and cons, she should agree.

Then Hathaway had a headache: "He will definitely be angry... Even if it is pushed to Theresia, he can understand my intentions, and it will be troublesome to trip me up again."

After thinking for a while, she sighed: "In terms of immigration from Shadow City, take care of him as much as possible. Build a portal for him and send it directly to his home, and keep the good seedlings you picked for a few hundred... no, a thousand for them." He. By the way, give him all the battle magicians and magic warriors of the old council and the Menesus family, anyway, they are already unreliable, and they are thrown far away, out of sight and out of mind."

On Tangus' side, Li Qi couldn't think of such a rich follow-up for the time being. He only expected that Hathaway would definitely have the idea of ​​​​the Principality of Norton.

When magicians enter the Norton Principality, they will definitely seize the power of the nobles. With the nature of magicians, their rule will not be better than that of the nobles.When there is a revolution again, the situation will be completely different.

The blood of the martyrs will not be shed in vain, but the revolution is still a long way from success, and we can only move forward step by step.

For the future of Norton, first dig Norton into a big hole...

Eventually Norton will be liberated, but until then, bear with me a little longer.

After arranging this matter, Xiao Longnv came forward with a smile, almost salivating.

By the way, there are too many things involved about Hathaway and business forces, and there is no way to make a clear response.However, it is necessary to throw a pawn in the past to ambush, and at the same time, it can make a lot of money.

This move fell on the little dragon girl, and it can be regarded as the return of enjoying the service of the dragon maid.

"Okay, I'll show you the way," Li Qi said, and the little dragon girl's eyes widened, and she knelt in front of him, sticking out her tongue and hanging her hands, waiting for Li Qi to lose his bones like a dog.

Li Qi said: "Even if I introduce you to Hathaway, there will be too many businessmen who will join her, and it is impossible to give you much benefit. Moreover, if everyone rushes to do things, the oil and water will definitely be diluted. "

Xiao Longnv nodded incessantly, she naturally understood this bit of business knowledge.

"You only see disasters in the Storm Islands. Magicians are coming to the mainland to buy properties and develop. They are in short supply of funds and supplies. But what you don't see is that the level masks of the Storm Islands have disappeared, and many magic devices and appliances are useless. , to a magician, it becomes scrap copper and rotten iron. If you bring those things to the mainland, you can make a fortune just by selling the materials..."

"What's the matter? Are hundreds or thousands of airships scary? Well, this one is so big that even the ship breaking yard is hard to find. What about the magic crossbow? Tens of thousands of archipelagos have been abandoned, and the price can be more than a hundred times higher if you bring them back and modify them a little bit. Don’t believe it? If you recycle them for a handful of gold bushels, the magician will treat them as cleaning up the garbage!”

Following Li Qi's narration, Xiao Longnv's gaze became more and more intense.

She hugged Li Qi's leg and shouted: "I want it, I want it! Li Qi, I want it! Give it to me!"

"Don't look for Hathaway, no, don't bother with Zold, he has channels in the mainland, if you tell him, you won't have your share, go find this person."

Li Qi took out someone's magic business card, which had the contact sign of the Book of Tradewinds on it: "Mosmoot, yes, look for him! He is my buddy, and I have a life-long friendship. Let him take you Lead into the Storm Islands, and do this quietly."

Xiao Longnv snatched the business card, and kissed him on the cheek: "I know Li Qi is good to me! I will grow up quickly and let you ride!"

Slowly walking out of the communication room, a strong sense of déjà vu flashed in Li Qi's heart.

This is very similar to the scene where the bear was finished and went to search for arms.

But at that time, the east and the west swarmed up, and the rabbit only picked up some leftovers.Now, only I am aware of it, and at the same time there are channels and agents.

So, little dragon girl, come on, get back all the things that can be looted!Among them, the most valuable items will naturally flow into his hands.
