Arad's Sword

Chapter 275 Today's Allies
After experiencing the initial shock, instinctive confrontation, and a series of ups and downs buffered by silence and embarrassment, these three top heroes from the Arad continent finally calmed down at this moment.

Except for Wiseman, who has never had the words "national interest" in his mind, Midi and Reinhardt have already entered the role of diplomatic negotiations, and began to quickly brew breakthroughs one by one in their hearts. point.

In fact, Reinhardt was faintly excited.

Because this time, it was so rare that he had an advantage in front of that Midi as soon as he came up!
And it's a huge advantage!
When he first walked into the room, he heard Emile accuse Midi angrily there, and with the following details, now, the fourth prince with seven senses can assert that , Midi definitely came for the ancient battlefield.

But unfortunately, Midi came late.

You know, Reinhardt and Wiseman came to Fengjianliu half a year ago, and after spending a lot of effort, through force and the resources sent by the empire, they finally took root here.

Whether it's the managers of Feng Jianliu, the pilot of the vanguard boat, or some prominent figures living in this area, Reinhardt has at least some friendship with them and has established a basic relationship with them.

As for the "White Snake" Emile, with the eyes of the fourth prince, of course he can understand the value of a master alchemist and an airship designer, so he naturally launched a strong offensive.Three months ago, Emile finally invited Reinhardt and Wiseman to explore the ancient battlefield with her, and retrieved a lot of wreckage. It can be said that they have formed a strong alliance.

Although Reinhardt was unprepared for Midi's visit this time and lost the "time of day", but both "geographical advantage" and "human harmony" were all in his hands.

And since Midi's goal is also "White Snake", then his frightening personal force has no place to play here.

The biggest advantage of the opponent is restrained, but the own side has a favorable location and harmony. Without a doubt, it can be said that this is the best opportunity for Midi to compromise and even bow his head.

No, it's not just that, as long as it is used properly, it can even borrow Midi's power in reverse to create an excellent situation!
How could Reinhardt let go of this opportunity?

The reason why he came forward to guarantee in front of Emile just now was actually based on this reason.You must know that Reinhardt is not a knight who values ​​honor, nor does he have any feelings of "sympathy for the enemy of his life". The only thing he wants to do is to do everything possible to make himself stronger by whatever means. That's all.

In addition, this is also an extremely obvious demonstration - he wants to prove his influence on Emile in front of Midi, so as to occupy the commanding heights in the following dialogue.

Didn't you, Midi, come all the way here for Emile?

But unfortunately, I am her ally now, no matter what you want to do, you need my nod!
Reinhardt clearly expressed this meaning.

And Midi, of course, clearly understood what he wanted to express.

To be honest, even if he knows what Reinhardt is planning now, he doesn't have the ability to reverse the situation on the spot.

After all, Midi is just a reborn person, but not an omnipotent and omniscient god. Even if he has the memory of the previous life, it is still impossible to control everything. Not only that, there may even be some mistakes and omissions. negligence.

Just like this encounter with these two old enemies, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it should be foreseeable.

In the previous life, wasn’t it the White Snake who built the heavy armored cruiser with the support of the Delos Empire?Although it took a full seven years, the White Snake and the Empire have clearly come together.

Then in this life, why is it impossible for Reinhardt to find Emile?
Obviously, no matter in the previous life or in this life, the power of the empire seems to have gradually risen from Feng Jianliu, a place ignored by the great power of the sea of ​​clouds, and finally exerted human imagination and creativity to incorporate it into the continent of Arad among.

As long as you think about it a little more carefully and infer a little more, you will naturally be prepared in your heart, and even try to lay the groundwork so that you can seize the opportunity when you really encounter the imperial forces.

But unfortunately, Midi, who was obsessed with entering the big storm area, obviously didn't calculate to this extent.

There is no medicine for regret in this world, so even Midi can only accept being passive.

But although she was depressed and entangled in her heart at the beginning, Midi soon felt relieved—there is no perfection in this world, and she is just struggling to move forward in the vortex of fate.

If you say that because you died once and have the experience of the previous life, you can control the whole situation from the beginning to the end. You don't eat a single thing, and every time you are pushed and crushed, Midi is not so arrogant.

Now that the Delos Empire has seized the opportunity, there is no need to grab other people's opportunities. It is better to push the boat along the way. Perhaps, it can make things go on more smoothly.

In the final analysis, the biggest card is always in Midi's own hands.

"Your Excellency Midi..." Reinhardt sorted out his thoughts before finally speaking slowly.

But immediately, he was interrupted by Midi.

"You can just call me Midi, and you don't want to be called His Highness, right? In the sea of ​​clouds, there is no support from the Arad continent. We are just ordinary adventurers, so it's better to be casual." Midi Said lightly.

"I think so too." On the side, Wiseman stood on Midi's side very unprincipled.

In fact, since Wiseman asked Reinhardt if he was "ordering" him just now, one thing has been explained-no one can control this crazy necromancer in this sea of ​​​​clouds, even if Not even the dreaded imperial power of the Delos Empire.

Two of the three agreed with one thing, how could the last one have room to refute?

Reinhardt glanced angrily at the rebellious Wiseman, and could only nod his head, and then said again: "Well then, Midi, let's open the skylight and tell the truth, you came here for the sake of the ancient battlefield." Bar?"

"More than that." Midi said bluntly.

"That's true." Reinhardt chuckled, and glanced at the spacious reception room, "And this beautiful dark elf lady, the alchemy knowledge and technology she possesses, as well as her creativity, are worth a lot. I'm afraid it's still on the ancient battlefield!"

For a long time, the sea of ​​sky and clouds has been a relatively closed area. The major forces have divided up the main resources, and at the same time they are not aggressive. They have no idea about entering the big storm area. It can be said that in the past 100 years, technological progress has been very slow.For example, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, the most advanced tiger sharks and narwhals are already overwhelmed just by being close to the ice cloud circle. What kind of heavy responsibility can they undertake to expand and explore?
In such a slowly developing area, not to mention those big forces, even Emile herself might not have a correct estimate of her own value.

But the humans from the lower realms are different. Whether it is Midi or Reinhardt, they all grew up from the fierce struggle for hegemony. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are heroes, and they have an extremely strong desire for power.

Therefore, "White Snake" Emile, in the eyes of humans like Midi, is the key to accelerating the process of gaining power and even advancing by leaps and bounds.

Of course, it is also the focus of the current negotiations.

"As you can see, Emile has formed an alliance with us, and the ancient battlefield will be explored by the empire, Midi, you should go back and bring your lady from the heaven with you." Reinhardt was not polite. He said, "There is no room for you to intervene here."

"Don't be kidding. There's no empire here, it's just you and Wiseman adventurers." Regarding the other party's bluff, Midi just responded with a sneer, "If the power of the empire can really affect the sky and the sea of ​​clouds, love Why did Mier auction off his own technology? You have no funds, no resources, and the only ones who can mobilize are probably a few flamboyant pilots, but unfortunately, they probably don’t even have a decent large airship ,Is not it?"

"Money and resources will come sooner or later." In Reinhardt's blue eyes, there is a kind of light called ambition. "In any case, the core part now is in my hands."

"Yes, I admit this, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time sitting down and negotiating with you." Midi admitted readily, then changed the subject suddenly and asked, "Tell me, what do you want? "

"Hmph, I know what I'm asking. I need all the resources and technologies. Otherwise, how can I gain a foothold in the sky and the sea of ​​clouds, and how can I establish a force that belongs to human adventurers?" Reinhardt snorted coldly, "If you don't have the strength, how can you develop? ? Is it really possible to act as mercenaries for those bastards?"

"In addition, I need money, a lot of money, otherwise I won't even be able to do an experiment. You know, the necromancer's alchemy experiment is very expensive, and a lot of lives need to be filled in." On the side, Wiseman It was also a rare sigh.

For an experimental lunatic like him, he had to worry about making a living after arriving in the sea of ​​clouds. Obviously, he had been depressed for quite some time.

Midi was speechless for a moment.

Whether it is resources, money, or technology, these are in his hands, but they are inexhaustible.

In fact, not counting the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, but only relying on Victoria's financial and material resources, what do you want?
But this can't be blamed on Reinhardt's short-sightedness. After all, the empire has been closed for more than a year after entering the sky and clouds.Except for a few floating islands around the dark corridor near Sky City, there is no place where they can gain a foothold.

The big forces in the sea of ​​clouds are extremely sensitive to the involvement of foreign forces, especially the lower world human countries. It can be said that all channels have been completely locked. Whether it is the Delos Empire or the Belmar Kingdom, it can be said that The sea of ​​clouds refused the door, so far no window can be found.

Fortunately, as an extraordinary awakened person, Midi's personal force is too outstanding. Coupled with the memory of the previous life, he knows everything about the sea of ​​clouds and the big storm area, so he can win the favor of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce , and then use their own power to become Victoria's ally.

Under normal circumstances, it is the normal path for someone like Reinhardt to be rejected first, and then find a remote corner to develop.

It's no wonder that these two are so obsessed with ancient battlefields and master alchemists. They are busy collecting money and resources to develop their forces.

As for the big storm area, it is estimated that these two have not even seen it with their own eyes, and they are just hearsay.

After all, there are very few shipping routes close to the big storm area, and Midi doesn't think they will go to some whaling boat just like himself.

Although I can fully understand Reinhardt's thinking, if Midi really let them take it step by step, wouldn't it be time to enter the big storm area, and it would have to be delayed for seven years like the previous life?
"I'll give you all money, technology, resources, and manpower. It's even okay to help you establish an exclusive force for the Delos Empire in Fengjianliu." Midi said slowly, with a tone of boldness of spending a lot of money. , "As a price, how about letting go of Emile and the ancient battlefield?"

As soon as the words fell, the eyelids of Reinhardt and Wiseman jumped at the same time.

This guy, does he think he is in Belle Mare?
