【Listen to my advice! 】
[Later, you will knock gently on the door. When you are received, speak to the person on the other side in a gentle and soft voice.]
[Even if the other party is giving you a cold shoulder, don't—Hey, host, where's the language master I asked you to invite last time?]
System 12345 found that Shu Yichao was walking alone in the corridor and couldn't help feeling a little strange.
[Host, have you already learned the local language? ]
[But that's not right. We've already left the Osman Empire and arrived in Willis...]
[Hey, host, why are you a little dirty? ]
[That won’t do. You have to leave a good first impression.]
[Even if you are beautiful, you must not be careless. ]
[I'll give you a towel, wipe it quickly...]
"boom!"
System 12345 hasn't finished speaking yet.
It saw Shu Yichao kicking the door open.
Immediately afterwards, the screen froze on this scene.
【…】
[No, host, you...]
System 12345 is stuck.
Shu Yichao walked to the bed where the Earl was hiding.
"Om-"
The scimitar is unsheathed and cuts it in two with one stroke!
"Woo--" Seeing the light returning to his eyes, the count couldn't help but hum.
Then, he saw a pretty face that was enough to make everyone's heart beat faster.
However, at this moment, in the eyes of the count, this pretty face was more terrifying than the devil from hell.
The count got up from the ground trembling, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Baturu of Khitan."
"The priest king who came from the distant east."
"Great Caesar."
"Please calm down—"
"Maybe things haven't reached the point where they can't be undone."
The earl, who was so high-spirited just a few minutes ago, now became extremely humble.
"I think we could talk..."
What the hell is this guy talking about?
I don’t understand...
"Snap!" Shu Yichao grabbed the Earl from Willis and pulled him outside.
"Don't!"
"Don't!"
The Count cried out: "I surrender!"
"I can give you a ransom!"
"I, I can also give you information about Willis!"
“I, I!”
“Don’t kill me!!!”
Shu Yichao took out the long towel he had just obtained, put it around the earl's neck, and then with a whoosh, he threw the earl into the air and hung him on the flagpole.
“…” The Earl glared at his legs twice and then rolled his eyes.
"Hehe - another Venetian was hanged." Shu Yichao clapped his hands happily.
【…】
【Host--】
System 12345 groaned.
【Why don’t you listen to my advice?】
[Now that's good, your favorability points have been completely deducted. They'll completely ignore you.]
Chapter 52-I Lied
[Hey, host, what's going on?! ]
[You have offended all the royal family of the Osman Empire.]
[Those nobles who could have spoken for you, for unknown reasons, died in inexplicable war disasters.]
[We may not be able to push the main quest for the time being——]
I originally said that we could save the country in a roundabout way.
[First go to other countries to do a few side quests, and then come back to push the main quest.]
[As a result, you offended the local officials as soon as you arrived.]
What should I do?
System 12345 is a little worried.
What if this officer gives you a hard time later because of what happened just now...?
[Woo——Host, don't lose heart! ]
[Just a superior...]
[As long as you don't continue like this, he won't be able to turn the tables. ]
「Let me first see who the latest capture targets are──」
[Hey! This is good!]
System 12345 happily sent a portrait to Shu Yichao.
There, I saw a girl wearing glasses, with pigtails, and a bookish air. She had a smile on her lips and was looking out of the screen with reserve.
[Host, this new target is Vinier, Willis's councilor.]
System 12345 chuckled.
[Looking at her like this, host, do you think she is a good girl? ]
【It’s a big mistake! 】
Beneath her seemingly nerdy appearance, Vinil hides a sharp mind, and beneath her glaring glasses, she reveals a cunning look.
[Her danger level is no less than those imperial concubines you have encountered before.]
[Well, although it seems that she cares about you very much at the moment.]
[But don't think that just because she likes you, you have a golden ticket to safety.]
If you approach her rashly, she will use sweet words to deceive you, squeeze out every last bit of your value, and then throw you aside.
[Many people have lost their families because of this.]
[Host, you don't want to be bankrupted by her and become her slave, do you?]
[Although the beautiful young slave and the scheming mistress are also very exciting - calling her master during the day and her master calling her...hehehe at night]
[Uh, forget it, let’s not have so much fun right from the start.]
【Hmm, let’s get back to the topic.】
System 12345 suppressed his laughter and spoke seriously.
My suggestion is, host, invest—Willis is a commercial city-state.
[It's not that I don't allow you to do business on your own——]
System 12345 explained.
[I actually have some good ways to make money here. I can make porcelain, steel, clocks, mirrors, phonographs...]
[However, Willis now has a monopoly on trade and logistics across a vast swath of the ocean, completely controlling the pricing power of all commodities.]
Even if you opened a factory, the merchants in Willis would still force you to sell your goods at rock-bottom prices.
[Besides, there's no such thing as patent awareness these days.]
Even if you, the host, successfully opened the factory, and the Willisians brought their fleet, wouldn't you still have to pack up the workshop and its craftsmen and send them to them?
[Maybe I'll be blackmailed for more money.]
System 12345 drew out the tone.
[So, if we can't beat them, just join and invest directly!]
I've highlighted all of Willis' most valuable assets, its most important ports, and its most practical warehouses for you, the host!
[Host, you can go and take a look...]
[As long as you, the host, become Willis's big money sponsor——]
System 12345 shouted excitedly.
[Are you still worried about not being able to conquer her? 】
The whole city was burning.
The Willys felt that they had a fleet, control of the sea, and were invincible.
But Shu Yichao doesn't think so.
Having sea control is indeed powerful.
But if I say I will capture every city on my way, burn every port and warship, and kill every Willys sailor and profiteer I see—
How should you deal with this?
If you guys from Willis have the guts, don’t ever go ashore in your life.
Moreover, Shu Yichao was pleasantly surprised to find that some of Willis's key buildings were marked.
For example, banks, exchanges, warehouses, factories, and vaults—
"All the gold, silver and treasures are taken away!"
Shu Yichao roared at his subordinates.
"Burn down all the factories, warehouses, docks, and ships!"
"Hang all Venetians!"
Under Shu Yichao's sweep, the painstaking efforts of the Willis people in this city were completely reduced to a pile of scorched earth.
Compared to Shu Yichao's physical destruction.
On another front, Sophia went even further.
Under the threat of the Khitan cavalry's scimitars, the profiteers of Willis were forced to hand over all their account books, IOUs, and transaction records.
They piled up into small hills in the square.
"It's all burned!"
Sophia said through gritted teeth.
The fire was blazing.
