"Time won't stop just because I take a break."
Qiao Yelan rejected Kal'tsit's suggestion.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Kal'tsit finally didn't say anything to ask Qiao Yelan to stay.
"There is one more thing - the Ursus Empire's behemoth, [Black Snake] Koschei, has requested a meeting with you."
"Kosice? Why does she suddenly want to see me?"
Qiao Yelan raised his eyebrows. It is true that the busier you are, the more things you have to do.
"She was driven out of Longmen, and now Longmen has returned to the actual control of Dayan."
"Why is it so sudden? I remember it shouldn't be this year - although we introduced Wei Yanwu, the eldest prince of Dayan who had no intention of becoming emperor, to drive her out, and also found the Shi Huaiya family who moved to Longmen to inject capital into Wei Yanwu, but she has been entrenched in Longmen for so many years after all, it's not that easy to be defeated, right?"
Qiao Yelan said in surprise something that would make Kosice's blood pressure go through the roof.
"Because the Chernobog Mobile City-State that was originally responsible for supporting Koschei cut off its support, the city lord, Marquis Boris, betrayed Koschei. A traitor appeared in the research team we gave to him in order to bribe Boris. Sergei killed the others and gave the sarcophagus they found to Marquis Boris."
"After gaining the power of the sarcophagus, Marquis Boris was eager to expand his city-state, so he immediately embezzled the materials purchased by Koschei, causing her situation in Longmen to collapse instantly."
"traitor?"
Qiao Yelan repeated the word, with an infinitely eerie tone in his voice.
"Yes, traitor."
Kal'tsit made the final decision.
Chapter 9 Qiao Yelan’s Self-awareness
"Let's deal with them one by one. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation in Leitania first - notify Kosice and ask her to come to Vidunia to find me. I will meet her there and then give me the detailed information about Kosice and Longmen."
Qiao Yelan sighed. Although in the current reshuffle of the Longmen structure, being the first to land would definitely bring more benefits, compared to these, Letania was the biggest trouble at the moment.
The accidental death of Herhunzollon and the outstanding performance of the twins caused all subsequent plans to go down the drain.
It's been so many years, and I can't get rid of this passive ability of having my plans interrupted by accidents 100%.
"You need to rest now. At least today, don't look at any more things."
"It's okay. I'll rest well when we head to Leitania."
Qiao Yelan rejected Kal'tsit's request again.
"...You must go back to the infirmary and rest now!"
Kal'tsit had no intention of compromising.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Qiao Yelan sighed and wanted to stand up with the help of Kal'tsit's arm, but then he found that the other party bent down and stretched one hand towards his knee.
Qiao Yelan:?
"Wait a minute—that's not what I meant!"
Seeing that he was about to be picked up by the princess, he held on to the armrests of the chair and fought to the death.
"Help me up, I'm just a little weak, not sick!"
"No, you need minimal activity right now."
Kal'tsit directly strengthened her will.
"Or I can carry you there."
"No, there are other people's spies here. I can't show my weakness at this time!"
Qiao Yelan thought quickly and gave a reason that finally made Kal'tsit hesitate.
"How about this, this chair has wheels, you push me over there, is that okay?"
"......All right."
Kelsey compromised.
Then a strange scene emerged - the chief executive of the Tower of Babel was pushing a round office chair, and sitting on the chair was the supreme commander of the Tower of Babel.
So it was no surprise that the young banshee who had just arrived in Rhodes Island was shocked by this scene.
"You are..."
"We are practicing the round stool skating competition, which is an internal competition of Babel Tower that we have just decided to promote. We believe that holding such competitions will help new and old operators get along with each other."
Qiao Yelan continued to make up stories calmly without changing his expression or beating heart, completely unaware of the sudden realization on the face of the person in front of him.
"Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've seen you."
"I am the new Lord of the Banshee Court - I'm sorry I can't tell you my real name, but I gave myself a code name, Logos."
The banshee took out her bone whistle and showed the royal emblem on it to the two of them.
"I thought it would be your mother who came."
Kal'tsit was obviously a little surprised. She knew that Logos was the child that the former Lord of the Banshee Court valued, but she didn't expect that the other party was willing to release him and even come to the Tower of Babel.
"I applied to my mother, but I don't know why she looked so pleased. She handed over the position of Lord of the Royal Court on the spot, saying something like 'the child has grown up' and asked me to come over."
It is obvious that the other party is also at a loss about his current situation.
"Logos, I have to send the doctor to the hospital for treatment first. I mean, we have to continue practicing the round stool racing. You can just walk around the interior of the Tower of Babel and take a look. I will come find you later and arrange work for you."
"Yes, Ms. Kelsey."
Watching Kal'tsit pushing the Doctor away, a serious look appeared on Logos' face.
"Even they take this competition so seriously, it must be very special - I also need to practice more and strive to win the championship!"
--------------------------------------------------
"That kid looks a little... uh, silly?"
Qiao Yelan waited until the other party disappeared around the corner before speaking again.
"Maybe he was protected too well by his mother. I didn't expect that she would allow her son to travel alone this time."
"Wait a minute—you said 'son'?"
Qiao Yelan showed a surprised expression.
"Isn't she a witch? And her posture and appearance are completely that of a standard noble lady, right?"
"There are male demons too."
Kelsey said as a matter of course.
Now it was the man's turn to be silent.
So this is the little boy that the group friends have been going crazy about...
After retracting his chaotic thoughts, Qiao Yelan leaned back in his chair and thought about other things.
"I just remembered. Please prepare a wheelchair for me. My current condition is not suitable for running around on two legs."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Kal'tsit continued to push Qiao Yelan forward.
"Oh, right. I was just thinking about who should I send to escort you to Leitania. I have to stay in Kazdel to keep the Tower of Babel running. I didn't have a good candidate, but now I think this kid is good, and he's a boy, so he can definitely protect you."
"Okay, you arrange it."
Qiao Yelan didn't care about it. He held his forehead with his right hand, rested his arms on the armrests of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.
Kal'tsit didn't say anything else, but her expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Is your head starting to hurt? It seems to be getting earlier and earlier..."
"No, I'm just a little sleepy."
Qiao Yelan denied.
In the past few days, he has realized why he lost his memory and why he was so "stingy" in organizing the information he left for himself.
He was able to maintain the Tower of Babel and maintain his own unfathomable shadow thanks to the vast amount of intelligence information. However, processing such a huge amount of information is a burden in itself for the human body, not to mention that he had to plan response plans for various regions and characters while processing the information, and send people to implement them.
Just like a computer, even if all the information is stored in other disks, as long as the system is still running, the C drive space will become less and less, and the computer will run more and more slowly. Then there is only one way to clean up these redundant data.
For Qiao Yelan, it was the same -
He has to keep "reinstalling the system".
He could only rely on the [Sarcophagus] to restore him to a more original state, allowing him to maintain the physical and mental activity of a young man, and keep himself in the prime period of human beings. This is also how he could maintain the appearance of the giant beast of the Tower of Babel in the eyes of others.
"So you chose me in the end... After all, among humans, I am also considered a [Monster]."
Chapter 10 My chess pieces don't understand war economics at all.jpg
"...Kosche has now disappeared from Longmen. The new Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu only posted a bounty on the person who was in the position at that time, and concluded that the other party had no intention of really using this opportunity to turn against Ursus."
Logos put down the last piece of paper in his hand, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.
Despite the long and bumpy journey, there was not even a ripple in the water in the cup in his hand.
At this time, Qiao Yelan was leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, listening to an e-book.
"there is none left?"
"I have finished reading. I have finished reading all the information about Koschei and Longmen."
"Okay, burn them all."
"Yes"
Logos picked up the stack of documents, and black flames rose in his hands, burning them all until they disappeared into smoke.
The situation was not bad. Wei Yanwu was obviously a smart man. Although he had no interest in the throne, the education he had received over the years and the influence of what he had seen and heard in the capital had made him completely free of the impulsiveness of a young man. Instead, he seemed quite sophisticated.
He did not carry out drastic reforms, but instead maintained the past behind-the-scenes manipulation model similar to Kosice, which made the neutral businessmen quite satisfied. Therefore, shortly after Kosice's fall, Longmen once again resumed its function as a commercial and trade center.
"I finally got the right person."
Qiao Yelan was quite satisfied with Wei Yanwu's performance.
The reason why he wanted to bring in Wei Yanwu to take down Kosice was very simple - this black snake could only play politics and intrigues. It cannot be said that he had no achievements in economics, but it can only be said that he was very capable.
The reason why Kosice was allowed to enter Longmen and become the King of Shadow was that he was expected to help integrate the merchants in Longmen, and by taking advantage of the convenience of this East-West communication port, he could accumulate strong economic capital and carry out the next plan.
As a result, after Koschei mastered the power of shadows, all he thought about was how to step into the spotlight and drive Longmen, the mobile city of Dayan, back to Ursus.
So Qiao Yelan immediately began to prepare to expel the other party.
First, he took advantage of the chaos in Victoria to encourage Adams Shi Huaiya to leave Victoria and move his entire family to Longmen. Later, he found Wei Yanwu, the eldest prince in Dayan who loved beauty more than power.
By taking both internal and external measures, and using both economic and military means, Kosice's influence can be eradicated in a few years.
As a result, a major rebellion broke out in the Ursus Empire, which supported Koscheiye from behind. Marquis Boris, the lord of Chernobog, took the opportunity to cut off all support to Koscheiye. Yes, Koscheiye's main artery was tied into a dead knot.
Then an accident also happened to Wei Yanwu. The old emperor probably knew what kind of person the future crown prince would be, so he forced a group of Dayan Yulin Guards to retire. Then, together with the previously retired Yulin Guards, he gave them all to his eldest son as his personal army as a life-saving amulet.
The increase and decrease resulted in Kosice's forces being almost completely chopped off like melons and vegetables in the face of the dimensionality reduction attack, and they could not get any replenishment. As a result, they were driven out of the dragon gate in a very short time.
Although the timing was somewhat unexpected, since Qiao Yelan had awakened, this change was a good thing - after all, Longmen's move was very important for Babel Tower.
Currently, the scale of Babel Tower's business is quite exaggerated. Apart from tricking a few Sarkaz royal courts into working for it for free, all other areas are the biggest spenders.
The recovery of Kazdel, the maintenance of the intelligence network, the consumption of scientific research, and Qiao Yelan's need to support so many forces, exchange interests with other forces, as well as the subsequent Sarkaz civil war.
The majesty of the Tower of Babel, in addition to Qiao Yelan's wisdom, relies more on money.
Although the Tower of Babel has many industries, including mines, factories, chambers of commerce and other things, who would complain about having too much money?
So Qiao Yelan naturally set his sights on the fastest way to make money -
Printing money.
Until now, there is no universal currency in the entire Terra world. Currently, international bulk transactions are basically settled in gold and remain in the barter situation - is there any virgin land better to be developed than this?
Longmen is indeed not the only trading city in the world. Xiosta and Dosores are not the best in terms of geographical location. Now Kazdel, Chernobog, and even Syracuse are all qualified.
But behind Longmen stands a powerful country called Da Yan—
