Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

……

After nearly half a day of flying sand and rolling rocks, the base of the sky city was basically completed. As for the further reinforcement of the foundation, it would depend on the Black Shadow Corps.

Labor is very expensive, not to mention construction at such a high altitude. If you let an ordinary construction team do it, the food, accommodation, travel expenses, and a lot of other expenses are too expensive just to think about!
The Shadow Corps is still the best, they work hard and never complain.

"What brought you here?"

Pang Lai, who had not been seen for many days, also came to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Sky City.

In addition to the personal visit, I also wanted to discuss cooperation with Lu Cheng regarding coastal border defense.

Nowadays, sea disasters are becoming more and more serious. Most of the coastal cities have been flooded. Coupled with the news about the Ocean God Clan that the Ocean Alliance has obtained, the next conflict is likely to be quite serious.

But at present, their country does not know much about the Siren War, and with Su Lu's obstruction, it is very difficult for them to even learn naval warfare from some countries with war experience.

Either they refuse directly or they take advantage of the situation.

Originally, Shao Zheng planned to ask Song Qiming for help, using his connections in the Holy Court to help resolve the matter. However, Song Qiming's granddaughter got into trouble some time ago, and the military sent the granddaughter into the mountains without saying a word.

Even if Song Qiming himself could let go of these grievances, his friends might not.

After a long time, I can only come to Lu Cheng to think of a solution.

"Borrow the Black Snake and Baxia?" Lu Cheng looked strange.

"How can you be so nice?"

"If you ask me for help, I can help you for your sake, but don't you think it's a bit too shameless to let Xuanshe and Baxia do it?"

When nothing happens, he wants to kill people, but when something happens, he wants to order people around.

Even raising a dog doesn't have to be so cruel.

"My life is about to be lost, how can I care about my face?" Pang Lai said helplessly.

There is no way to explain clearly the matter concerning totem beasts.

In fact, if the power of the totem beasts is too strong, after resolving the next war with the sea monsters, he can be sure that the military will definitely focus on adjusting its strategic goals to these totem beasts.

This is inevitable.

Human beings have always been full of malice towards powerful beings that do not belong to them.

"I won't argue with you about right and wrong. After all, you know what the situation is." Lu Cheng picked up the tea and took a sip.

As time goes by, people become more experienced. Although Pang Lai mainly presided over education in the Magic Palace and served as a war reserve force, he has also been watching these political matters for decades and naturally knows about them.

"I can help with the coastal issues, but... I'll have to pay more!" Lu Cheng said.

Pang Lai looked strange, "How much?"

"Go and discuss it with Ye Chang. I don't know." Lu Cheng said.

"Don't you know that I have no concept of economics?"

"Ye Chang?" Pang Lai's eyes twitched.

"Can you change someone?"

If I really want to discuss it with Ye Chang, that wouldn't be taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

It's adding fuel to the fire!
Wen Tai’s incident is indeed over, and Saran is indeed dead, but this does not mean that Ye Chang is no longer Ye Chang!
Ye Chang will definitely take this opportunity to take revenge for the loss she suffered here!
That woman's desire for revenge is terrifying!

"Most of the things here are left to her. Who else can replace her?" Lu Cheng said.

"I think Xin, the slave of the Mu family, is very sensible!" Pang Lai said.

Although the little girl from the Mu family is also a black-hearted person, at least she is not darker than Ye Chang!
"She?" Lu Cheng thought about it.

"But she doesn't work for me."

Mu Nujiao works at the Demon Academy and also opened a magic academy in Feiniao City. However, Mu Nuxin is still the leader of the Mu family's business and flies around the world.

"You kid." Pang Lai raised his eyebrows.

"You have the nerve to bring Leng Qing and Tang Yue together. Do you dare to say that you have no intention of doing anything about the two prides of the Mu family?"

"What's the point of doing that?" Lu Cheng was speechless.

"My mom just beat me up for this before."

"And Mu Nuxin is not interested in me."

"Boring?" Pang Lai was a little skeptical.

Mu Nuxin doesn't even like Lu Cheng's conditions?
"In her eyes, I'm just a monster in human skin." Lu Cheng said slowly.

"Or so it seems to many people."

Even many people from the Holy City were afraid of him because of his incredible power and strange attributes that were beyond the scope of human beings. Most people who knew his background were actually a little afraid of him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. It doesn't matter who you discuss it with, it's all the same anyway." Lu Cheng said.

"As for the matter of the Siren, I will go and take a look later."

"Also, since you're here, go get something from Daolong."

"What is that?" Pang Lai asked in confusion.

"A little gift." Lu Cheng said.

"I wanted to give it to you before, but the situation wasn't right. I see that the conflict you guys have is pretty big."

"By the way, I would like to remind you to pay attention to the court mage Nanshou Baixi. That guy is the lurking cardinal, Jiuying."

Pang Lai was stunned, "Cardinal?!"

Ye Chang is not kidding?
The Black Church really came and lingered right under his nose?

"Whether you want to use him or kill him, it's all up to you, but I suggest you keep him first," said Lu Cheng.

"The value of a living person is always greater than that of a dead person."

"A living cardinal is very useful."

"..."

"Anything else?" Pang Lai suddenly felt a little flustered.

Court Mage, this is his jurisdiction!

There is actually a cardinal lurking!
"I don't know anything else." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"The Black Church in the country is basically all here. Of course, I'm talking about the cadres, Ye Chang's old subordinates. As for those little cats and dogs, I haven't paid attention to them."

"By the way, is Shao Zheng about to step down?"

"Huh?" Pang Lai was stunned.

"Who did you listen to?"

"Of course he is my good uncle." Lu Cheng said.

"Shao Zheng was put at the center of the storm, and he contributed a lot. You shouldn't know that, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Pang Lai asked doubtfully.

"Let me ask if there is any suitable candidate to replace Shao Zheng." Lu Cheng said.

"After all, I really can't stand his temper of always talking about the interests of his country and family."

There is nothing wrong with saying this from Shao Zheng's perspective.

But from his perspective, there are many problems with these issues.

Shao Zheng is too idealistic in many aspects, or in other words, he is too self-centered.

This is also the main reason why Shao Zheng and Su Lu don't get along.

They have different political views.

Su Lu puts profit first in everything, regardless of country or nation, so he can get more support than Shao Zheng.

But Shao Zheng, all his actions are based only on the interests of his own country, and he has always turned a blind eye to the lives of others.

When we are in trouble, we hope for support from all sides.

When troubles arise on all sides, don't blame us for just watching the show.

When you encounter troubles, you always like to ask everyone to solve it together, but when good things happen, who are you?
Take the coastline issue for example. Shao and Zheng both hope to receive international assistance but are unwilling to give corresponding benefits. They have always been waving the banner and talking about justice.

Of course, Shao Zheng had no choice. After all, the coastline issue was his personal prediction, and there were few members of parliament who supported him because this matter required money, and a lot of money.

No one wanted to spend money, so Shao Zheng could only cry poor everywhere.

You want to ask someone for help, but you can't offer enough benefits, so you can only say nice words all day long.

In fact, much of the support Shao Zheng received now was due to the bad checks he wrote.

Most of the international aid that Shao Zheng received through his cries came from small countries, all of which wanted to take this opportunity to gain the friendship of the big countries.

However, it was impossible for Shao Zheng to cash his check.

This kind of international support is similar to buying stocks. The risk is very high and the returns depend entirely on luck.

So, when Su Lu looked at Shao Zheng, he felt that this person was quite hypocritical and disgusting!
When Shao Zheng looked at Su Lu, he felt that this person was extremely selfish! (End of this chapter)
