Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

"Your Highness Theresa, I think your idea is very dubious. As you can see, our Banshee Valley is basically funded by the Speaker to help us develop."

"Although the textiles we sell are very valuable, without the help of the Speaker, no matter how well we embroider, we would only be able to sell them for a few silver coins."

"Even the cost of laying telephone lines in the valley is extremely high."

Ramaleen actually didn't know the cost of the telephone line, but her main task now was to dissuade her best friend from doing so.

In reality, telephone cables are not cheap to manufacture.

After all, only nobles can use it now, and it has not yet become popular.

The communication network that Huangcao built for Banshee Valley is indeed losing money.

The area of ​​the river valley is not too large, so he doesn't care about this little money.

"Perhaps you can ask your people to continue to help us. Perhaps we can help the Speaker make some money?"

"We are all Sarkaz after all, aren't we?"

Theresa still didn't give up and tried to exchange her true love for true love, but unfortunately Ramalen didn't buy it.

This is not about making Mr. Huangcao money, but about asking others to invest money without any specific plan. This is not a one-sided mutual benefit at all.

This is to make the other party engage in a gamble called vampire trading. To put it nicely, it is called investment, to put it bluntly, it is sucking the other party's blood.

Of course, Theresa's character is still trustworthy. Ramalen doesn't think that her princess is really that bad. Perhaps she simply doesn't realize it.

However, if the investment is really successful in the future, given Your Highness's good character, Mr. Huang Cao will definitely make a lot of money.

But what if it doesn’t work?

According to Kazdel's current ecological situation, the success rate of investment is almost zero.

Lamaren couldn't be the sinner. What if it destroyed the relationship between her and Huang Cao...

Chapter 79 Lamaren: I have never been so dishonest in my life.

But Theresa is very confident. She already has a very complete development plan in her mind, but she lacks a little support from the outside world.

How should I put it? After growing up, this pair of siblings did make an indelible contribution to the development of Kazdel in the original plot.

At least not so many people are completely displaced, and the situation is neither bad nor particularly good.

The only drawback was that Theresa did not resolve the problem before the conflict broke out completely, which led to the civil war.

Of course, this does not mean that all the problems are on her shoulders.

After all, this country really can't find any other candidates for the Demon King. Given the poor environment of Kazdel, even the most powerful person would have to wait for a while.

Lamaren understood her best friend's ambition very well, but it was not possible.

Because it was impossible for him to get the phone line to Victoria.

The telephone line that Huang Cao laid for himself was one-way, so others could only call Eden at most, but not Victoria.

But Victoria can reach Banshee Valley and Eden.

Although the phone now has a number, Lamaren doesn't know what Victoria's phone number is?

Even if you want to get the shot, you can't get it through unless you ask Warfarin to transfer it.

But wouldn’t it be easy to be exposed this way?

So it was still inappropriate. Faced with her best friend's refusal, Theresa once again used the method of acting coquettishly.

He tried to gain Ramalen's sympathy with a pitiful expression, but the latter could only let the demon king stay in the valley for a few more days.

It doesn't seem polite to refuse directly, so I'd better discuss a solution with Mr. Huang Cao first.

Finally, under Theresa's persistent pleading, Ramalen had no choice but to deal with it for the time being.

At night, Ramalen used special Originium techniques to convey the plan to each of her compatriots through a sound that even the Demon King could not detect.

Don't say anything more, and when asked, give all the credit to the Speaker of Victoria.

The banshees were also very smart, and no one revealed any flaws due to their collusion.

Therefore, a series of words and actions made Theresa very interested in this so-called Speaker.

Since Theresa's visit was very sudden and there were no extra rooms in the valley, it seemed inappropriate to let her live in a house other than the one that belonged to the Lord of the Royal Court.

Fortunately, after all these years of development, Ramalen's residence is no longer just a house and a bed as before.

After all, sometimes, there are often wandering banshees from the outside world who hear the call of their own voices and return to their hometown.

Before we had a place to live, we usually lived in Lamaren's house.

Of course, although Theresa tried her best to say that she could just sleep in the guest room, Lamaren still let her sleep in her room.

Etiquette cannot be neglected, after all, she is still the Demon King of Kazdel.

Before the break, Theresa leaned behind Lamaren and said with a slightly resentful tone:

"Lamaline, I feel like we've become quite distant lately. Did I do something wrong?"

It is true that you feel a lot more distant from each other. After all, your best friend is trying her best to save your life in the future!

Mr. Huang Cao opened up the situation in Victoria in such a short time. What if the worst outcome really happened?

Ramalen doesn't think that the brother and sister have any chance of winning against Mr. Huang Cao. It will be a question whether she can save the lives of the brother and sister at that time.

She could only hope that Mr. Huang Cao would be kind-hearted in the future, and then all she could do was to persuade him.

"No, Your Highness. It's just that we've had a lot of orders from Victoria recently. My sisters in River Valley and I are a little tired. I hope you can forgive me."

Lamaren sighed and spoke sincerely.

Theresa didn't doubt it, but suddenly changed the subject and turned to the Garden of Eden next door.

"By the way, how is Huang Cao's territory developing now? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Lamaren remained calm, "After all, Mr. Huangcao's territory is much poorer than ours. He lacks everything, and often has to rely on me for support."

It’s Tiangang who’s in charge, Ramaleen, now you’re really good at lying!

The Banshee Lord swore that she had told more lies in her entire life than she had in the past few days.

But if the activities of Banshee Valley and Eden are discovered, it will not be a trivial matter, not to mention that Eden is still preparing for a rebellion.

Lamaren continued to explain, "Luckily, I do have some extra money... but it's only enough to help one place."

Hearing that Huangcao was having such a hard time, Theresa couldn't help but worry about the development of Eden Garden, but she was powerless to do anything.

After all, everyone is poor and doesn't have much extra money.

No words were spoken that night, and several days passed like this.

Ramaleen finally agreed on a statement with Warfarin, and after the call was transferred, she made a direct call to the office of Victoria Speaker.

By the time the pink-haired devil tremblingly picked up the phone, the person on the other end of the line was already Huang Cao, who was in a playful mood.

"Look at how I trick this demon king!"

Huang Cao changed his voice during the call, and his voice became mature, like a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Hello, Speaker's Office, how can I help you?"

"Hello, I'm Theresa. I'm glad you answered my call."

"Theresa, wait, let me look... I don't think your name is on my list of council members. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

If you want to take the initiative, you have to make the person who asks you for help look like he is asking for help.

Huang Cao plays the role of the almighty Speaker of the House.

As the pinnacle of Victorian nobility, his phone number was not something a normal person could get.

At the same time, it is impossible for anyone to answer a phone call and find out that he is the Demon King of Sarkaz, so it is understandable that he did not react.

As expected, Theresa on the other end of the phone became anxious and immediately revealed her identity and background.

"So it was Ms. Lamaren who gave me this opportunity. Well, I'll give her a favor and tell her what you think."

A mature man's voice came from the phone, and Theresa looked at Lamaren with gratitude.

The latter lowered his head in embarrassment.

It's so embarrassing. Your Highness, please don't look at me with such emotional eyes. I'll feel embarrassed!

Then, for the next half hour, Theresa used all her knowledge of business and economics to explain the "fact" that Kazdel was a hot spot for investment.

He also used both reason and emotion to persuade the people, and his tone was extremely humble, which was totally unlike the tone a national leader would use.

At least the person on the other end of the phone is willing to listen and won't feel bored at all.

Huang Cao originally thought that this pink-haired girl would give a long speech about her ideals in the next half hour, and then he would use reality to pour a bucket of cold water on her.

But what was unexpected was that Theresa did not mention her ideals at all during the phone call.

Instead, he was seriously discussing the possible business opportunities that the land of Kazdel might possess.

He even used a completely pleading tone, and his voice was extremely gentle.

Although this so-called business opportunity was just her idea, if she really invested money in it, it would probably take decades to recoup her investment.

But what Theresa just said was not entirely useless. At least there was a very good resource that the other party mentioned.

These resources are population and labor force.

It just so happened that he was short of manpower in his new territory on the border of Victoria, and these Sarkaz were very cheap and high-quality labor.

Chapter 80 Terra Countries: Who will attack Leitania first?

"Human? Can you provide a proper job for the Sarkaz?"

"I can indeed offer it, but the salary may not be as high as you imagine."

Of course, Huang Cao is not willing to be a black-hearted capitalist.

The reputation of "evil creature" was given to him by others, not by himself.

For example, the Duke of Cumberland, who was imprisoned a few days ago, after learning that the army led by Huang Cao was called the Army of Plenty, he directly used the word "Plenty Evil" to spray him.

However, this reputation seems to have come from Leithania. But then again, his true identity has not been exposed, and the Duke of Cumberland should have just borrowed this term.

After all, although Leithania suffered heavy losses, no one knew how much wealth it actually had.

Because of Theresa's secrecy, even if Gaul and other countries now know that the elite troops of Leithania were annihilated in Kazdel.

When they wanted to test their confidence, they found that Leithania had already accumulated heavy troops in the border countries, and it was impossible to defeat them at least in a short period of time.

At best, the previous 50-50 winning rate has become a slight advantage. No one dares to underestimate the Tower Warlock of Letania.

As for whether this will make Kazdel a thorn in the side of other countries?

There is no need to worry about this, because this is a defensive battle. Didn’t the multinational coalition led by Kal’tsit also suffer a crushing defeat when they entered Kazdel?

In the past, even the combined forces of multiple countries couldn’t defeat us. Isn’t it normal that we lose the fight on someone else’s territory now?

If Letania cleared Kazdel alone, the next team fight on Terra would not be against the Demon King but the Tower King.

So Theresa didn't want to miss such a good development opportunity.

"Although I do have a lot of spare funds, Kazdel, although small, is still a country after all. The poverty of this country is not something I can change."

"But I am willing to offer a contract of employment. I need healthy Sarkaz to build my territory, preferably not those infected with Ore Disease."

It’s not that Huang Cao is cold-hearted. As an employer, it’s understandable that he wants to recruit employees with better health.

Now he didn't plant any "golden trees" in Victoria's territory, and he couldn't suppress so many people infected with mineral disease, so it was very troublesome to feed them seeds.

So it is better to have less trouble than more, so that someone won’t suddenly die in your territory while you are working.

Slowing down the territory construction speed is a small matter. The main thing is that there is really no need to bother with these people infected with the mineral disease.

Why bother? Sometimes there's really no need to torture each other.

Of course, Huangcao can guarantee that normal people who come to his territory will never be infected with mineral sickness during the contract period.

Theresa nodded immediately after hearing this, and the next steps went smoothly. It was just a matter of discussing how to divide the salaries of these expatriates.
