Xumi still has a strong control over paper.

"this…"

After seeing the assessment made by the inspection team on the floating city's military strength, the scholars hesitated.

It seems like we are a bit defeated.

At this time, a representative of the academic clique who hadn't expressed any distress spoke up, "Great Sage Azar, giving in is certainly not weakness. You did the right thing. However, we also want to know when you will strike back."

He stood up, looked around, and finally turned his gaze back to Azar. "You may not know this, but right now in the Xumi City market, people are more interested in imported goods from Liyue than our local products."

"If this continues, our economy will soon decline significantly."

"You will naturally not be affected because the House of Representatives has a lot of patent income, but we will be miserable."

"And we are in such a plight that we may not have the strength to support you any more."

"Great Sage Azar, you wouldn't want your orders to go unfulfilled, would you?"

The threatening tone was not concealed at all.

If outsiders saw this, they would probably think that these academic tycoons were the great sages.

Azar's eyes turned cold, then he smiled. "Of course, it won't take long. Once we take control of that floating city, things will be completely reversed. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in the void?"

Everyone was silent.

Then the other party said: "Of course I believe it. The void left by the great Great Compassion Tree King is the existence we trust the most."

He looked at Azar: "So, Great Sage Azar, you have called us together. What kind of help do you need from us?"

They did not come to this meeting on their own initiative; Hazard called them.

That was why they dared to condemn Azar in front of them, because they knew that this great sage must have something he needed their help with.

"The Void needs more knowledge to fight back, and it also needs time to fight back."

"So, I needed to delay that Liyue person. Similarly, I made concessions and even offered an apology."

"I don't want you to give that Liyue person another excuse to fire before my plan succeeds."

Hazard said very seriously.

Do you really think that he is like these academic tycoons and is unaware of the impact brought by Liyue merchants?

The elemental materials have doubled. As a great sage, Azar should also read the financial reports, right?

But why didn't he fight back? Wasn't it because he couldn't win?

After seeing the floating city's military strength, Azar knew very well that if he didn't solve the floating city, he wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

And it takes time to deal with the floating city.

What he is most worried about now is that during this period of time, some academic cliques whose interests have been damaged will provoke Wang Que.

Then give Wang Que an excuse to fire another shot.

The previous shot had completely humiliated the Court of Ordinances.

Now that he has finally managed to divert the public's attention to the desert people, he doesn't want to do it again.

The representatives of the academic clique looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally someone nodded. "Your wisdom is appreciated, Great Sage Azar. We will exercise restraint, but we hope you will not break your promise."

Academic elites can restrain themselves from eating meat, but they cannot go without meat forever.

If Hazard fails to solve the trouble caused by Wang Que, they will have to deal with Hazard.

Of course, it’s not a violent solution.

They will push for a change of great sages.

Xumi...is not a dictatorship, and the great sages are also elected by people.

If you can be chosen to go up, you can be chosen to come down, and even the void cannot stop you.

This may also be what the Great Compassion Tree King left behind as a security guarantee for most people.

Otherwise, if a madman comes and controls the void, Xumi will really be doomed.

Just like when Azar was carrying out the plan to create gods, he would first imprison the sages who disagreed with the plan.

Because he knew that if he didn't imprison him, most people in Xumi would oppose him if they raised their voices.

He will also lose control of the void and end up in defeat.

The great sage is not a dictator, nor can he be a dictator.

"Of course, I promise," Hazard promised.

The representatives of the academic cliques nodded in agreement: "If that's the case, then let's invite him to negotiate."

"By the way, let's also invite those other chambers of commerce and offer them some relaxed conditions so that they can increase their investment in Xumi. Once we control the floating city, we can devour them all at once."

"In this way, the wealth we lose now will be doubled back in time."

"Hahahaha, good plan."

"Okay, I agree!"

……

January 9th.

The parade the day before seems still vivid in my mind.

But not many people in Xumi City are talking about this issue anymore.

The public's attention has been shifted to the topic of "Are desert people bad?"

At this time, the House of Representatives also invited the Money Chamber of Commerce, the Elchingen Chamber of Commerce, and other chambers of commerce that participated in the march to meet together for talks.

The invitation was so sincere that it didn't even look like it was written by someone from the House of Lords.

The words used were very low-key and humble, as if we were scared.

Wang Que naturally knew that this couldn't be true cowardice.

It's probably a trap.

However, Wang Que did not remind the middle-aged man beside him.

A large conference room in the House of Religious Affairs.

"Haha, Your Excellency Wang Que, this is our victory. We have made the Council of Eminence surrender."

The middle-aged man gathered next to Wang Que and called out noisily.

Wang Que glanced at him and asked, "Are you Elchingen?"

The middle-aged man was suddenly delighted: "You know me?"

"Which kind of knowledge do you mean?" Wang Que said calmly, "If it's your identity, then I know a little bit about the wealthy merchants in Fontaine, the kind people in the Grand Bazaar, and the profiteers who evaded taxes."

After a slight pause and seeing the other party's hesitant expression, Wang Que continued, "Of course, if you mean the Fatui's identity, I know that too."

As soon as the three words "Fools" came out.

Elchingen's face turned pale, and then he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the other participants had not noticed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang Que, it's better not to say these things here." He said it as if requesting.

Wang Que smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't say? The Fatui aren't some bad force. Or, have you done something bad?"

The Fatui are a diplomatic mission. You say they do bad things, and they do exist.

But it seems impossible to directly say that the Fatui are a bad force.

"Ha, look at what you said, I didn't do anything bad." Elchingen immediately denied it.

Wang Que looked at him: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Elchingen: ...

Isn't it said that Boss Wang is easy to talk to? Why does he seem so difficult to talk to?

He just wanted to cooperate with Wang Que and make the doctor look at him with a higher regard.

Look! I've reached a cooperation with someone who even the executives find troublesome.

Elchingen is someone who likes to prove himself.

"Of course I'm not," Elchingen denied being afraid of his Fatui identity being exposed, then quickly changed the subject. "I came to you to apologize."

Wang Que finally showed a hint of interest and looked at him: "Apologies, interesting, tell me about it."

Elchingen immediately said, "Regarding the parade, it was actually initiated by several of our chambers of commerce, but in the end it was you who had to clean up the mess. I feel very sorry."

"Also, I heard that you paid for the marchers' medical expenses, living allowances, and compensation for the damage they caused."

"My business friends and I feel that you're at a huge disadvantage, so we're willing to share the cost with you."

After saying this, Elchingen looked at Wang Que.

He felt that Wang Que would not refuse.

According to the information provided by the executive officer, Boss Wang is someone who likes Mora very much.

He must be very happy if I can share the burden with him.

then.

He saw Wang Que's expression turned cold.

"Is this how Dotorei taught you to communicate with me?" Wang Que said in a slightly cold tone, "I gave this money out of my apology and kindness. Now you want to use your money to share my apology and kindness?"

"How arrogant! If you don't give me an explanation, I'll have no choice but to send you to see the Ice Queen. I hope your body can be brought to the Winter Palace."

Elchingen glared at him and asked, "Why are you going to kill me?"

Is your personality so weird?

"No, no, I'm sorry, I may have offended you unintentionally, I just wanted to express my apology." Elchingen quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

Wang Que still had a cold expression on his face: "Apology? I only saw offense."

Elchingen was anxious, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, remembering the executive officer's comments.

Wang Que likes money.

This evaluation is definitely not wrong, so the problem is with my own statement.

He said that sharing the compensation and medical expenses was actually selfish.

In addition to pleasing Wang Que, it was also to share some good reputation.

So, Wang Que saw through his little thoughts!

Elchingen was no fool. He reacted immediately and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused you. We are willing to pay you 10 million in compensation."

To be honest, the number of 10 million is out there.

Wang Que felt no emotion at all.

Looking at the consumption required on my panel, this amount of money is not even enough to fill the gaps in my teeth.

However, Wang Que also knew that this was probably the opponent's limit.

In the plot, he saved up enough money for the mushroom beast competition, but only took out 60 million Mora.

Ten million Mora is a lot.

"You have some foresight. Just send the money to the Money Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Que glanced at him, then looked directly at the person who walked into the meeting room.

The great sage Azar has arrived.

Chapter 342: Bet? No, let's exchange

Compared with the interests between the House of Worship.

The 10 million Mora that Elchingen gave was really shit.

But Wang Que was not very interested in today's meeting.

Someone who wants to overthrow the current ruler will not care what new orders the ruler announces.
