Chapter 574, Part 572: Persuading the King of the Demon Eye (Please Subscribe)
A moment later, in the study, in the sofa area.

Butler Hoover personally served tea and snacks, then bowed and retreated, keeping his eyes straight ahead, and gently closed the door.

A 'click' sound brought the room to complete silence, so quiet that even breathing was barely audible.

Luo Yi sat on the sofa, her body relaxed and her expression at ease, but the divine weapon, the rapier, was right next to her, and she was in a state where she could unleash her power at any moment.

Beside him, the ancient red dragon Virgil remained in the form of an old man, still seemingly grumpy from being woken up, his expression unyielding, yet no one dared to underestimate him.

And this is the strongest combination in the entire Flower Territory; even a demigod could be defeated!
Even so, they still maintained sufficient respect, simply because before them stood a true legendary archmage, the King of the Demon Eye.

He did not reveal his true form, but was shrouded in a mist, with only a human-shaped outline visible and the staff in his hand lightly touching the ground.

However, the surging magical power within him, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, was undeniable. Even though he was clearly suppressing it, it was still breathtaking.

Even legends have their differences; the weaker ones might stumble and struggle even to alter the rules, like the Grand Duke of Toledo.

The strong can even weave their own unique domain using numerous rules.

The person in front of you is one of Helka's strongest mages, if not unique, he is definitely among the top three.

Most importantly, he is skilled in time magic, allowing him to exist outside of time, making him truly unkillable.

He can also summon his true form from the past and future, thus creating a three-on-one situation.

The mere thought of having three such top-tier archmages appearing at once is enough to give anyone a headache.

Otherwise, do you really think those empires are pushovers?

Do you really think the Church of the Sun God is all good-natured?

Why bother broadcasting war when he can just let the near-orbit magic eye he controls sweep around?
We can't afford to offend him, so we can only let him do whatever he wants!

Even the combination of Roy and the red dragon Virgil would have to be careful to deal with such an existence.

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the heat finally dissipated. The person in the mist finally spoke: "Your Majesty Luo Yi invited me here, are you just going to sit here like this?"

Luo Yi chuckled: "There are some important matters I want to discuss, but the way the Archmage made his appearance caused me some misunderstanding."

He added, "The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; one should always be more vigilant."

The swirling mist seemed to nod in agreement, and the hoarse voice rang out again: "I understand. You've only been famous for a short time; you still need time to mature."

However, now that I'm here, please speak frankly about what you need!

Luo Yi nodded, seemingly organizing her thoughts, before saying, "I think your method of using the Magic Eye is incorrect, or rather, incomplete!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the red dragon Virgil looked up, his weariness vanishing instantly.

The Mistman froze for several seconds, as if he thought he had misheard, and repeatedly confirmed it.

Then, a hoarse voice burst into a series of loud laughs: "Hahahaha, Your Majesty Luo Yi, you are truly shameless!"
I am the King of the Magic Eyes. I created and improved the entire spell system. You think I don't understand?

This is a complete joke!

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Since you don't have anything important to do, I'll be leaving. It's best if we don't have any dealings with each other in the future."

"You may be quite strong, but I have seen countless powerful people. Only those who survive are qualified to stand before me."

Before he could finish speaking, he prepared to leave. However, Luo Yi stood up, creating a series of afterimages, as if time itself had left its mark.

In an instant, he blocked the way of the King of Demonic Eyes and said, "Grand Master, why don't you take a look at these first?"

Before he finished speaking, the Proverb Ring on his hand flashed, and he took out four or five plan books, all bound, and then went to the King of the Demon Eye.

The Mistman didn't take it, but simply lowered his head, then raised it again: "There's no need!"

"Take a look. If one more glance isn't enough to move you, I won't stop you."

As she spoke, Luo Yi picked out one of the three or four project proposals and said, "You can look at this one first!"

The Eye of the Demon King still didn't accept it. At this moment, the Red Dragon King Vergil spoke up: "Fero, I'm just letting you take a look, what's with the fuss?"

"Look, look! Luo Yi's business plan never disappoints!"

Clearly, Virgil the Red Dragon and Fello Farnsworth were acquaintances, or at least had met before.

Finally, the Mistman took the plan, opened it, and was immediately captivated after just a glance.

The cover reads: "A Discussion on the Feasibility of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles!"

He flipped through it quickly, with a 'whoosh' sound, as if he had read it over in an instant, his perfunctory attitude was obvious to the naked eye.

However, after that fleeting moment, his movements froze.

He paused for a full three seconds, then flipped open the plan again, until he reached a certain page and checked it repeatedly.

A hoarse voice rang out: "Did you even look at what you wrote?"

"A shell with a range of 10,000 kilometers and a speed of up to Mach 25, is that really true?"

Luo Yi laughed: "Your Majesty Ferro, is your doubt due to the lack of clarity in the technical route and proof I provided, or is it simply a matter of not wanting to believe it?"

"this?"

The Mistman was stunned again. He wanted to refute it, but the contents of the plan flashed through his mind, and he could not find any obvious loopholes.

"So, what do you want my Demon Eye for?"

"Because only when your magic eyes are connected in a network and used for spatiotemporal reference positioning can they provide navigation for my missiles."

After another moment of silence, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

But this time, the King of the Demon Eye was not calm; the mist surrounding him was churning violently.

That dormant, ocean-like magic suddenly unleashed a raging storm.

However, Roy didn't seem to be going to let him go. Instead, she released a tempting voice that sounded like a devil's whisper: "Of course, locating the missile is just the simplest function, and the explosion is just the most basic operation."

We can also imbue legendary magic onto missiles, launch them, and, with precise timing, hit exactly where we want them!

"Or, how about we just open a portal?"

"Once deployed via missiles, the super-large positioning portal can send the most powerful magic-powered army anywhere."

"At that time, the mode of warfare will change as a result!"

The Mistman spoke again: "What if we get intercepted?"

Legendary experts possess incredibly fast danger perception and reaction speed; they won't let your missiles hit the ground!

Luo Yi laughed: "If you want to intercept, of course you can."

But what if my missile could turn corners? What if it could change course? Or even warp space itself?

Or what if we launch ten or eight at once?

"This, this, this..."

"I've only provided the most basic requirements; in fact, there are countless possibilities."

"Let me see all the other project proposals."

"it is good!"

"Optical imaging, radar remote sensing, infrared monitoring, information transmission, video broadcasting, navigation and positioning, as well as meteorological observation, environmental monitoring, emergency rescue, strategic early warning..."

"Wow, I didn't even know Magic Eye Networks could do so many things!"

Before anyone knew it, the King of the Demon Eyes had returned to his original seat. He spoke very seriously: "I admit it. When it comes to the technology of the Demon Eyes, you know nothing."

However, in terms of mastering the Mystic Eyes, I am far inferior to you.

"But I still can't agree!"

Luo Yi suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty Ferro, whether the cooperation succeeds or not is another matter. I should have the right to be frank with you, shouldn't I?"

"can!"

The Mistman paused for only a moment before waving his hand, and the mist around him dissipated, finally revealing his figure.

Surprisingly, Fello Farnsworth is very young, at least in appearance; his skin could even be described as flawless. His eyes are also bright, and he has delicate features. Only his full head of white hair seems to indicate the years he has lived through.

He looked at Luo Yi, his brows relaxed: "Your plan is excellent. Even as the King of the Demon Eye, I find it eye-opening."

The problem is, I won't relinquish control of Magic Eye Network.

"I don't need you to give in. We can cooperate. Just give me some of your authority."

"You didn't understand what I meant. I won't give it to an ambitious person like you, even if your plans come to fruition."

Even the current Habsburg Empire and its allies are nothing before you!

Luo Yi tilted his head slightly and immediately understood. He widened his eyes and asked, "Are you afraid that I will use the Magic Eye Network to unify the Old Continent?"

"Isn't everything you showed me just preparation for this?"

"Don't joke around. If you knew me, you would know that I hate dealing with government affairs the most!"

"A bouquet of flowers is enough to keep me busy; I don't have the time to turn myself into a political creature."

As Luo Yi said this, she added, "Of course, if you don't believe me, we can sign a contract."

If I use it to wage a war for supremacy, you can immediately revoke my access.

Fello Farnsworth narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood of Roy's thoughts. Finally, he asked, "So why did you do all this?"

“Your Majesty Ferro, we both stand at the pinnacle of the plane, and many secrets are not secrets at all.”

No one knows what the civilization behind Habsburg's empire intends to do, but our necessary preparations cannot stop.

He paused slightly, then added, "I don't care which empire unifies the Old World, as long as it's humankind!"
However, I was born and raised in Herka, and if the safety of the plane is at stake, I will certainly not stand idly by.

"Your Majesty Ferro, I admit that you could do very well even in the Astral Plane, in the City of Sigil, in the Abyss, or in any other higher plane."

But you can't deny that Herka is also your homeland. Don't you really mind?

Fello Farnsworth suddenly gripped his staff, his expression contorting for a moment: "You want the Magic Eye Network to deal with Netheril?"

"If one day they bare their fangs, we must also extend our claws!"

"Absolutely will not participate in the war between the Empire and the Allied Forces?"

"Internal conflicts are internal conflicts. I am not the Church of the Sun God, and I do not care about the change of secular monarchy or the struggle for faith."

So, although I don't like them fighting to the death and wasting their strength, it's none of my business!

"That's good!"

"It seems His Majesty Ferro is quite averse to this?"

"Don't laugh at me, but I can get involved with both sides, so it's not good to side with either of them. So, let them do whatever they want, I won't get involved!"

Luo Yi laughed: "I don't want to get involved either. As long as you don't provoke me, that's fine. Does that mean His Majesty Ferro has agreed?"

A serious expression appeared on Fello Farnsworth's young face. He pondered for a long time before finally saying quietly, "Strictly speaking, I can agree."
However, the situation might not be as optimistic as you think.

"Could you elaborate on what the problem is?"

"The number of Magic Eyes is insufficient, severely insufficient."

I currently possess only thirty-six, and it was only after the war began and my income increased significantly that I was able to create enough wealth.

The distance to the forty thousand stars that envelop the entire world of Herka is far, far too short.

As he said this, he looked up at Luo Yi with anticipation: "How about Your Majesty Luo Yi sponsors some money first?"
I've heard you're incredibly wealthy; even this greedy red dragon has been subdued by you because of it.

The ancient red dragon Virgil protested: "What do you mean by 'submit'? We are equals, bound by a human-dragon contract. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

His Majesty Ferro pretended not to hear and continued to look at Lloyd with longing.

However, Luo Yi shook her head firmly: "No!"

"why?"

Luo Yi shrugged: "I have no money!"

"So what if you're stingy? Is it fun to joke about me? If you're broke, then nobody in the entire Old World is rich!"

"After reading the proposal I gave you, you should understand how many research projects I've initiated."
"Right now, let alone 40,000 Demon Eyes, I can't afford even 400!"

As Ferro Farnsworth's eyes dimmed, Loy said, "However, I still have a way!"

"any solution?"

"Of course, it's the way to make money with Magic Eye. Your kind of live streaming is such a waste. You're not even getting one percent of the Magic Eye Network's potential."

As she said this, Luo Yi touched the Holy Ring of Proverbs, took out another plan, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

Fello Farnsworth looked down at the cover and read aloud: "A plan for the development, support, and promotion of film and television culture..."

"Film and television culture? What's that?"

"A new photo stone has appeared in my flower territory, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, I've even watched it. I must say, the battle in the demiplane was quite well fought, especially that sword strike against the vampire prince Caesar, it was exhilarating!"

I've wanted to beat him up for a long time, cough cough cough...

Does that have anything to do with this?

"If we turn these into a program and broadcast it through the Magic Network and Magic Mirror, do you think it would attract viewers?"

"this?"

Philo Farnsworth recalled his first impression of the photographic stone, feeling as if he were there, as if he were immersed in it.

"A lot of people should watch this!"

"That's right, we can make money from movies and TV shows, from TV programs, from buying and selling Magic Mirror, and from the Magic Network usage fees..."

As long as you earn enough, you can produce more Near-Orbit Magic Eyes, thus creating a virtuous cycle. The expansion speed of the Magic Eye Network will absolutely exceed your imagination.

"You can do that? You can do that?!"
No wonder, no wonder some people say that your greatest strength, Luo Yi, isn't your fighting prowess, but your ability to make a lot of money!

Ferro Farnsworth was initially delighted, but after a moment he became somewhat worried: "However, in that case, the Magic Mirror will have to be widely promoted."

If I, Ferro Farnsworth, said before that no one below the legendary level is qualified to use my Magic Mirror, then I must go back on my word.

This, this, this is a slap in the face!

Luo Yi looked at him seriously and asked, "Is making money more important, or is saving face more important?"

"Of course making money is important, but so is saving face!"

"Let me rephrase the question: Is the Magic Eye Network more important, or is your reputation more important?"

Or is the safety of Herka's world more important, or your pride?

Even the King of the Demon Eyes couldn't withstand the heavy blows wielded from the moral high ground, and he could only say, "Of course, the world of Herka is more important!"

"So, making money, making a lot of money, is absolutely not shameful!"

"So what do you suggest we do now?"

"Right now, there's too much to do. We can talk about the details later. Let's talk about something else now."

As she said this, Loy paused for a moment before continuing, "If possible, I would like to invite His Majesty Fero Farnsworth to reside in the ninth mage tower of the Holy Dragon Demiplane!"

"Only in this way can we achieve deep cooperation and mutual trust!"

As she said this, a sly glint flashed in Luo Yi's eyes.

However, to his surprise, Ferro Farnsworth also chuckled and said, "My Magic Eye Alliance has nine seats in total."

This second seat, second only to mine, has been vacant for years, awaiting its rightful occupancy. I wonder if Your Excellency Luo Yi would be willing to accept it?

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Only Virgil, the red dragon standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes!
