Chapter 1762 The world is declining
Unexpectedly, there was no panicked tidying sound in the room, only Herbie's calm words, "Someone, please come in."

Kullene raised her eyebrows, pushed the door open and walked in, then her expression became speechless. It was not that Blaze and Herbie had already cleaned up, but that they were still continuing to massage feet as if no one was around, as if they were not doing anything wrong.

Kullene's eyes moved back and forth between Blaze and Herbie's faces. Blaze really felt that he hadn't done anything to feel guilty about, while Herbie's expression showed that she didn't care about feeling guilty in front of him.

"You guys are really going downhill."

Kullene slammed the table in annoyance, pointing the finger at Hebi.

"You've only officially become the president of the [Hermes's Traveling Hat] for a few days, and you're already doing these things in this sacred office."

A few days ago, the [Hermes's Traveling Hat] held a formal meeting and confirmed Herbie Hermes as the second president of the [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. Although there was no difference in terms of authority from before, his status was finally higher than Cyrene.

So Hebi, who was of higher status than Kulene, just snorted at such accusations and only showed Kulene the back of his head and the new project he had taken on.

World City

"Oh, you actually took the job of building World City from the three kingdoms."

Kulene was naturally furious at Hebi's attitude, but she had nothing to say about Hebi's work ability.

World City, whose full name is World Center City, was built to prevent wars caused by the competition for the [World Pillar], a doomsday-level item that symbolizes historical orthodoxy. It is also the venue for the Olympus Games.

There is no doubt that the World City will surpass the Giant House and become the economic center of the world the moment it is completed. By then, not to mention the land inside the World City, the surrounding area can be described as extremely valuable.

Therefore, the three major kingdoms will all want to compete for the right to build the World City. Once the World City is built, they can naturally obtain the land therein directly.

Hebi was able to directly obtain the right to build the entire World City, which was like snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

"How did you do it? The three kingdoms wanted to seize the right to build the World City mainly to rip off the merchants." Kullene asked curiously.

Herbie raised his finger and pointed at Blaze, the answer was self-evident.

Sometimes face is just so useful.

Kullene narrowed his eyes. He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. He guessed that Hebi didn't even mention Blaze's name, but the representatives of the three kingdoms compromised directly when they saw that it was Hebi who came to negotiate.

There's no way around it, Herbie is already highly tied to Blaze.

He was puzzled as to why the three kingdoms gave up so easily. Even with Blaze, the profits that could be brought by an absolute economic center like World City were enough for the three kingdoms to bite the bullet and fight for it.

Especially since there is nothing wrong with this matter itself, it is just a matter of seeking benefits in accordance with the law.

After thinking about it, Kullene understood the reason.

It's not so much that they want to give Blaze a name, but rather that they remember Blaze's specialness and are worried that Blaze will pull out the [World Pillar].

The most important reason why the three kingdoms agreed to build the World City was that no one could pull out the [World Pillar] or take it away, so they had to seize the land where the [World Pillar] was located.

But Blaze is an exception. It is possible for him to pull up the [World Pillar].

What if Blaze suddenly decides to uproot the World Pillar and take it away? The World City, built with so much effort, would instantly lose its value. If it's not a spur-of-the-moment decision, it's even more troublesome, meaning Blaze needs the World Pillar for something.

It doesn't matter what to do, what matters is whether Blaze will put the [World Pillar] back.

The representatives of the three kingdoms, namely Morgan and others, completely believed in Blazer, but they could not stand up to the fear of the people below, especially the Chancellor of Finance.

If it were Culene, he would also be afraid. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Blaze, but after calculating the cost, he has to be afraid, even if such a thing is impossible to happen.

After Kullene took on the role of the finance minister of the three kingdoms, the way she looked at Blaze changed.

If Blaze really took the [World Pillar] away, he would be too embarrassed to remind Blaze to put it back, because Blaze would definitely use the [World Pillar] where it was needed and for the greater good.

Every day this [World Pillar] is taken away, the status of World City will decline a little, and its value will also decrease a little. This is simply like a slow execution.

So instead of bearing this painful torture by yourself, it is better to throw it to the [Hermes' Travel Cap] which is highly bound to Blaze.

To be honest, Kullene himself didn't really want to take over the World City enterprise. He was also afraid that Blaze would pull out the [World Pillar].

But after thinking about it carefully, he was no longer afraid.

Blaze can summon Tiamat, so why would anyone need the [World Pillar]?

What good is a stick if even Tiamat can't solve it? Even if it does work, it's too late now, so why would we care about whether we're making a loss or not?

"Thinking about it this way, haven't we gained an advantage in terms of intelligence?" Kullene touched his chin and smiled proudly.

"Not only do we not have to fight the three kingdoms, we can even make a profit from them. This isn't against our conscience, but rather it's the Hermes Travel Hat that we take the initiative to take the risk."

“And we can also publish commissions to foreigners to reduce costs.”

"My first business deal since taking office was pretty good, wasn't it?" Hebi turned around and raised his eyebrows proudly at Kullene.

"Not bad, awesome!"

Cyrene was not stingy with her praise, since praise was free anyway.

"Speaking of World City, I heard you were planning to use the Evil God's legacy as a reward for the first Olympus Games. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Any questions?"

"It's hard to say. The coordinates of the Evil God's Legacy were provided by a stranger, right? I guess there aren't many valuable things left in the Evil God's Legacy."

Hebi rolled her eyes at Kullene, who had certainly considered this issue.

"Don't forget that the original purpose of the Olympus Games was to replace war and to contain the kingdom's powerful class. The main beneficiaries were the ordinary people who participated in villages and towns."

"Ordinary people don't want those valuable things you mentioned, like artifacts. What's the use? What they want is a good harvest from the land, to have enough food and warm clothes."
