Crown of Silence

Chapter 735 Talk

After a short rest, he met the Grand Master of the Illusion Islands and the heads of many schools in the bridge that had been repaired urgently.

They have long enslaved the local natives in the islands and established their own musician regime. At this moment, they look more like kings and nobles.

With just one look, Ye Qingxuan felt blinded.

They are rich.

After hundreds of years of looting, plus the rich mineral deposits and materials on the islands, none of these scepters and masters are ordinary things. Any inconspicuous ring is enough to be the treasure of a school.

While he was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at him, and at the same time, he wiped a cold sweat in his heart.

In fact...the Illusion Islands arrived earlier than they appeared.

It's just that at that time, although they were persuaded by Watson, they still wanted to sell at a price. Originally, they wanted to come out as a rescuer when Ye Qingxuan ran out of ammunition and food, but unexpectedly, they were scared by the posture of Ye Qingxuan.

What the hell!

Everyone put themselves in the role of the sea fortress. If they were in the same place and faced the Nomadic Mountain, then the result would be...

The natural expectation made everyone feel a chill.

This time it was really counterproductive.

Originally wanted to help in times of need, but it didn't work out well and almost capsized. Fortunately, it could still be icing on the cake...

It was too dangerous, too dangerous.

At this moment, they were full of awe and fear for the young man in front of them who smiled but didn't say anything.

If they originally wanted to take advantage of the alliance to make a lot of money from Ye Qingxuan, then now they began to worry whether they would be swallowed up by this overly powerful ally.

After looking at each other, the silent grandmaster broke the silence and bowed his head to Ye Qingxuan:

"Your Excellency the Grand Judge, in accordance with your call, the illusion quagmire, the voodoo crypt, the land of uncertainty... the realm of ten thousand flows, the sixteen island illusion schools will be, from today, Serve you. "

Ye Qingxuan smiled, picked up the teacup, sipped it slowly, and asked: "Since Watson has represented me to form an alliance with the archipelago, there is no need to be so polite.

You also saved me from danger. If it were not for the No Return Fleet, I am afraid we would not have achieved such a rich victory.

But, how can I repay you for your help? "

The Grand Master was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "If I guess correctly, you probably don't know what Mr. Watson promised us now, right?"

Ye Qingxuan's face did not change, and he calmly replied: "Please rest assured, I granted him the right to mobilize all my resources. If he agreed, I agreed. "

Although his face pretended to be calm, secretly, Ye Qingxuan's non-existent heart began to beat wildly.

Flustered.

If he was assured of Watson's work, then he would be extremely uneasy while Watson was doing it.

Because Watson is just like Stone. As long as you don't restrict his way of doing things, he can always get things done for you, as long as you can bear the side effects and consequences of his actions...

Since Watson came back, he has no time to talk to Watson alone, and has no way of knowing what contract Watson signed.

So he can only operate on two lines.

As early as the beginning of the conversation with the Illusion Islands, a ladder had already extended from the floor under his feet to Watson's wheelchair.

The two of them took the time to communicate secretly.

"Hey! How did you deal with them?"

"You're asking now?"

Watson sneered, "I provoked their internal conflicts, poisoned a person who firmly opposed cooperating with you, and then asked someone to kill another group of people who wanted to talk to them, so they could only talk to me.

Although there were some minor incidents in the middle, it was generally handled smoothly. In addition, in addition to the conditions we originally negotiated, they were also promised the Anglo customs tariff... for five years."

"Hiss!"

Ye Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged, and he took a breath of cold air in his heart. The teacup he held up was almost crushed.

Customs?

Tariffs?

Five years?

Are you crazy, friend!

As a maritime trading country, Anglo-Saxon has more than 70% of its tax revenue coming from customs every year. Now that it is at war, in order to maintain a minimum level of trade, the royal family has tightened its belt and dared not even increase taxes.

As a result, you just said a few words and the tariff was paid for five years!

Do you want the royal family to sell everything for food?

"Watson, do you want to be a traitor?"

"Haha, if you want to sell, you are the one who sells, and it is your stamp."

Ye Qingxuan cursed.

If Ye Qingxuan did not know Watson's nature at this moment, he would have stood up and drawn his sword to kill him on behalf of the Fifth Department, the Inquisition, and the royal family.

Watson was not worried about Ye Qingxuan's worries.

"What are you afraid of? Just fool around first, and leave the rest to me." He said calmly: "Three years later, the Illusion Islands will not be named Ye. I will write the word "Head Priest of the Hundred Eyes" backwards."

"... How can you be so bad!"

"Haha, this is called 'Outstanding family education casts aristocratic spirit'."

Watson took a sip from the teacup, with a very elegant posture.

But Ye Qingxuan has seen the essence of the phenomenon and saw that the evil water in this guy's chest began to bubble.

Ye Qingxuan never had any doubts about Watson's ability to do evil.

In just a few years, he went from a black musician to the chief priest of the Hundred Eyes. Later, he fought with the former shaman in various fields. With a group of corrupt noble teammates, he was able to create a good situation.

After becoming the current shaman, he built the underground industry of Anglo into an iron bucket in a few months and was hailed as the savior of countless desperate people.

Not long ago, I gave him a sum of money and threw him out. He was able to stir up trouble in the upper echelons of the Illusion Islands in a short time...

When I thought about what Watson could do with the support of the Fifth Department and the Inquisition, Ye Qingxuan felt a little headache.

Originally, Ye Qingxuan asked Watson to negotiate the alliance conditions, which were to participate in the war in Anglo as mercenaries, and the compensation was in-depth cooperation between the two sides, the transfer of industrial technology, and the two sides joining forces to dominate the lifeline of the future sea.

But now it seems that there was a directional error from the beginning.

Fortunately, it is not too late to correct it now.

In any case, he hopes to reach a more satisfactory cooperation with the Illusion Islands, rather than completely pitting the other party to death by forming an alliance.

Therefore, how should the two sides consider the relationship with each other, how to recover the tariffs, and how to compensate with other terms...

Thinking of these problems, Ye Qingxuan began to have a headache.

But to his surprise, the grandmaster who looked like an old lady said after thinking for a while: "We are willing to give up the conditions of Anglo tariffs. Can you please give the islands illusion school and the Anglo native school the same treatment?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, put down the teacup, and his expression became serious.

"You want the middle-level authority of the Ether Network?"

-

The authority of the Ether Network is divided into different levels by Ye Qingxuan.

Among them, the supreme authority that can manage everything is in his hands. He opened the upper-level authority for operating the partitions and various links to the Royal Academy and the Inquisition. Later, he used this as a condition to win over the Chainsaw Monks for in-depth cooperation.

The middle-level authority was given priority to several schools that first surrendered to him, and he took this opportunity to establish them as models. Then Ye Qingxuan blocked the issuance of the middle-level authority, and at most issued the lower-level authority.

The middle-level authority allows them to freely upload and download the music theory of various schools. This is just a small matter, but the greater power comes from the fact that they can build content in the Ether Network by themselves.

Borrowing the large market built by Anglo, they can rent a storefront to sell their own things, and even more than that...

The aspects involved and the impact that can be produced are more far-reaching than what can be predicted now.

Giving it to the Illusion Islands, Ye Qingxuan is really a little worried.

If it is to cooperate with ordinary schools, there is no problem, but the Illusion Islands... really makes him feel uneasy.

Back then, because of the disagreement with the cult, they abandoned their foundation and turned away, and took the lead in occupying the archipelago. This group of fantasy musicians did not abide by the restrictions given by the Holy City like other schools, but instead relied on dominating the local natives to establish their own regime.

More than a dozen illusion schools manage the archipelago separately, and then elect a grandmaster as the leader.

For hundreds of years, their veins have extended to almost the whole world, and their shadows can be seen in underground industries everywhere. There are even several assassin organizations that have opened branches in Anglu. By the way, Watson's evaluation of them is: the natives who have been brainwashed are really useful, and this method is worth learning.

A brief look at the history of the archipelago will show you the style of doing things of this group of people.

To put it nicely, there is no taboo.

As long as it is beneficial to themselves, they will not care about anything, even if it is to cooperate with the Abyss... It can be said that half of the bad reputation of the Illusion Islands is caused by themselves.

Now the other party wants to use five years of tariffs to exchange for a middle-level authority, which obviously means that they have some plans for the future.

Ye Qingxuan began to worry whether he would let a wolf into the house.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qingxuan did not give an answer on the spot:

"Let me consider this."

Facing Ye Qingxuan's answer, the Grand Master did not speak, but turned back to look at the leaders of various schools behind him. Four of the fifteen musicians were scepters, and the others were all masters who wore inherited instruments and could temporarily possess the combat power of scepters.

Obviously, the Grand Master's status and majesty overwhelmed the objections of other musicians.

The long-standing tacit understanding made them understand what she meant. Several people looked at each other and reported several huge numbers.

In the end, the numbers reported by everyone were added together, and after the Grand Master added almost half of it, it became an astronomical figure that made people gasp.

Finally, the Grand Master looked at Ye Qingxuan: "As long as you are willing to sign a discipline treaty with us - guaranteeing fairness between us and local musicians, not deliberately seizing the property of the archipelago and interfering with our status, and giving a certain policy preference to our development in the King of Ether.

We are not only willing to open up the core music theory of our own school, but also let the No Return Fleet fight for Anglu for free.

If you can open the upper level permissions of the Ethernet for us, not only will we not need Angelou to pay a pound of lapis lazuli, but we will also use the savings of the Phantom Islands over the past century to help you expand the scope of the Ethernet. "

The money we pay will never be lower than the amount just quoted to you!

Whether it is the mineral deposits of the archipelago, the secret treasures accumulated by the illusion school for hundreds of years, or even our warship construction technology, we will open it to you unconditionally. "

In the bridge, whether it was Ye Qingxuan or Watson, even the illusion musician behind the Grand Master took a breath of air.

Not only is it not low.

That amount of money alone is almost as much as the treasury reserves of Anglo during its heyday!

Where is the alliance?

It is simply more exaggerated than writing a petition to declare Angelo as the suzerain!

"What are you planning?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, "Are you so optimistic about the Ethernet?"

The Grand Master smiled, and the old female musician showed a happy expression for the first time, "For an illusion musician, what is more valuable than an illusory world?

What's more, before I came here, I had already experienced it myself... Of the many movements you released, maybe there are two that I contributed to. "

She took out an iron piece that Ye Qingxuan was extremely familiar with from her pocket - the symbiotic terminal of the Ethernet.

After a short silence, Ye Qingxuan asked: "I really don't understand why you care so much about the Ethernet. What exactly do you want?

I think all musicians understand that everything I do is destroying the foundation of the musician's world. As a vested interest, why would the Phantom Islands support my rebellion? "

"It's very simple, Your Highness."

The Grand Master said calmly: "What we want is just the 'respect' that we originally deserved.

As early as hundreds of years ago, various schools of thought united with the Holy City to suppress them, and they were forced to lose their independence and the 'respect' they lost when they left their hometown.

There is no distinction between the seven schools of musicians, but why is the school of illusion so despised? Why must we decline if we don't self-castrate like the psychopaths?

For hundreds of years, we have endured the stigma against us. In order to escape suppression and for the independence of our school, we did not hesitate to leave our homes and hide in the archipelago.

In order to survive, we will not hesitate to launch plunder, in order to develop, we will not hesitate to associate with the black musicians... In order to escape the entanglement of the abyss, we chose to alliance with Angelo. Why can't we cooperate with you for a longer-term future?

Unlike the great masters of the past generations, I am not proficient in music theory, and I am not even from an orthodox school of illusion. At best, I am just a businessman.

For businessmen, whether investing in factories, industries, or countries, there is nothing more profitable than investing in the 'market'...

We have money, we have power, we have strength, why should we be told what to do by the Holy City? "

Ye Qingxuan asked, "Is there any difference between being managed by the Holy City and being managed by me? Or does the Grand Master think I am weak and can be bullied?"

Although the Grand Master said that he was a businessman, Ye Qingxuan didn't even believe a single punctuation mark. Last time, an old man said that he was an accountant who settled accounts.

The lessons he has learned all along have made Ye Qingxuan understand that these old people in high positions may be confused, stupid, or occasionally make mistakes.

But one thing is absolutely the same - they all know what they want, and have enough skills and abilities. Once they seize the opportunity, they will never let it go.

He stared at the Grand Master in front of him, which made the Grand Master laugh.

"Mr. Watson once said something. In business, no matter what the situation, as long as both parties are intentional, the business can always be concluded."

She said, "I like this very much because the Holy City would never say this."

Ye Qingxuan understood what he meant.

After a long silence, Ye Qingxuan finally sighed softly, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, and said: "Although the Ethernet is open source, I will not give its ownership to anyone.

In other words, no matter how much you invest and devote your efforts, I can easily erase it if I am willing. If you can accept this, I can open higher authority to you. "

The Grand Master had no objection.

The foundation of the Illusion Islands lies far outside of Angelou. Even if Ye Qingxuan turns his back, all that will be lost is a generation's efforts and a little money.

What the Illusion Islands is planning is to regain its historical status and restore its own orthodoxy. This is a thousand-year plan. A temporary loss is nothing. Even if it fails, it will just be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the school and passed on to future generations. It's just a little troublesome.

What's more, the value of the Ethernet lies in its openness and everyone's contribution and accumulation. It must have its rules and systems. Even the holder Ye Qingxuan cannot attack the fantasy school without reason. What's the point of an empty ethernet if it drives everyone away?

The Grand Master is not afraid of failure. As long as people are still there and the land is still there, he can always make a comeback.

As for the specific cooperation methods and management methods, we can slowly discuss them.

This is the best thing about Ye Qingxuan than the Holy City.

When it comes to doing business, as long as you have the intention, you can talk about it.

"Then, we have a great time working together."

The Grand Master spread out his five fingers. In the palm lines, the music theory of the precepts was intertwined, and he high-fived Ye Qingxuan. With this as witness, the two parties formally cooperated.

The general tone has been set, and the next thing will be left to the people below to discuss.

After the Chainsaw Monk Association, Ye Qingxuan once again tied the Illusion Islands to his chariot.

The subsequent chat became relaxed.

"Grandmaster, have you thought about what you want to do with your superior authority?"

"I have already prepared it." The Grandmaster asked: "Do you have any extra harmony terminals here? I can demonstrate it for you."

Soon, several musicians handed over their terminals, and Ye Qingxuan, as a relay, connected the Grandmaster's terminal to a closed regional network.

"Sorry for the poor performance."

The Grandmaster activated his own music theory, and in an instant, everyone on the bridge was in a trance.

When they reacted, they were already in a pure white space.
