The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich
Chapter 96 Infiltrating
In a certain world, if a lawyer specializes in civil disputes, the first thing a lawyer must learn is how to create traps in contracts and how to avoid the other party's fraud, so as to earn more benefits for his employer.
And the devils in this world are experts in contract fraud, but if they are cheating from beginning to end, their reputation will be bad sooner or later, and no one will be stupid enough to sign a contract with you.
Therefore, directly guaranteed by the souls of both parties, as long as all the traps can be seen clearly, the devil's contract is the most fair and effective contract in the world, and it is very popular in all planes.
The lower plane characters written on the contract have magical powers, and even residents of the main plane who don’t know the lower plane’s devil script can understand them at a glance, but if you think the contract is honest and fair because you can understand it, it’s a big mistake Very wrong.
Contract fraud, tens of thousands of years ago, devils have studied it as an art, such as the gorgeous pattern on the contract, if you look at it with a magnifying glass, you will find that it will be composed of a circle of distorted small characters If you don't find out the supplementary terms before signing, you can only count yourself as unlucky.
Those long and complicated chapters that people don't want to read, maybe the acrostic sentences formed by each initial letter are the real focus of the contract. You think the contract is read horizontally, and when it is actually fulfilled, the devil It will tell you that you should look vertically or obliquely, so the meaning is different.
As for the incongruities such as subject-verb-object inversion, typos, omissions, and additional exemptions, please don’t take them as accidental mistakes and clerical errors. Most of them are deliberately made by liars, and there is definitely something wrong with them.
Therefore, for archmages who have been dealing with the lower world for a long time, the first priority when making a deal with the devil is not to use the original contract they provided, but to insist on rewriting the text on the spot. Even if it is destined to be a marathon contest.
With the development of the times, the hypocritical and cunning human nobles gradually began to use the devil's contract guaranteed by the soul. Of course, humans are no less gifted at deception than devils. For thousands of years, contract fraud has also played countless new tricks that surprised even the devil kings, such as deliberately cultivating an orphan, giving a name that is exactly the same as that of a big shot, and signing with the same name. Dare to use the original contract book provided by others, let alone let the contract book leave my face.
And as expected. At the negotiating table at that time, Dassos did not hesitate to deny the contract I proposed at that time, and also invited the literati and legal experts from Hemet's house, and asked to re-draft the text on the spot.
then. We fought on the spot one by one, but soon, the initiative to build the agreement slowly returned to my hands.
After all, the professional ability of those two writing experts and jurists is far inferior to that of me. The devil writing on the lower plane has magic power, and arousing negative emotions is the weakest side effect.
Corrosion and degeneration of the soul is the most terrible thing. The terms of the contract are fighting to the end. In addition to knowledge, it is also a struggle of physique and will.
And I personally deliberately prolonged the dispute over the terms of the contract, and even deliberately dictated the devil's words to increase the pressure on the other side. When the contract was finally signed, the three scholars who were slack fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
As a result, I am very satisfied with the final contract, and the efforts of the experts are also appreciated by the other party. Dasos and the others are also very satisfied. Well, at least they should be very satisfied before those loopholes are discovered.
Among them, the victory I am most satisfied with is the clause "The two countries are not allowed to initiate military threats or acts of war in any name within ten years". As soon as Dassos threatened him for a few days, he, the weak side, would still have to succumb, and this contract would be tantamount to signing for nothing.
Ten years later? I don't think he will have the time to find troubles with Donglan Principality at that time, and as long as the plan goes smoothly, he will not know who will trouble whom.
Right now, the Donglan Principality with this secret agreement is truly free. Therefore, after going back to negotiate, Renee and the others did not hesitate to choose this time to recognize the God of Law as the state religion, and asked the Oran Empire to hand over Get out the three dwarves.
This is undoubtedly tantamount to raising the banner of challenging the authority of Dassos and the Oran Empire, and stabbing people in the back just after the agreement was reached, but under the newly signed treaty, Oran could not overreact.
"I just kicked you in the back, why, bite me?"
"Huh? It's all so provocative. The Donglan Principality is actually fine. It seems that the rumors that the Oran Empire is strong on the outside and weak on the inside are true. Maybe the young emperor can't mobilize the dukes and marquises under him at all."
And under the eyes of all the enemies, there is a precedent of being the first to jump out to challenge the authority without slapping him to death. I am afraid that people from all walks of life will follow without hesitation, and that authority will be in jeopardy.
This is not my speculation, the changes in the situation these days speak for themselves.
It is true that I spread the word, but I did not compose the music. After all, I still have self-knowledge. Although my personal musical ability is stronger than that of Gloria, it has only evolved from the Howl of the Banshee to the Howl of the Lich. The effect of killing people is the same, perhaps dying slowly is more of a torture.
Since composing music is not something I can do, and now there are several variants including bar ditties and operas, the evolution from nature is too fast. Undoubtedly, someone seized this opportunity and acted secretly, intending to severely crack down on it. Daxos reputation.
Dassos's prestige of ascending the throne is so powerful that it overwhelms the forty-six countries, but this is undoubtedly a gamble. While the success is huge, it also brings a huge rebound. This rebound includes two parts, internal and external.
Judging from the composition and dissemination of the music so quickly, and the high quality of the finished product, 80% of it was done by the great nobles of Oran. It is difficult for other forces to find so many musicians and plays locally so quickly. It is adapted by other writers, and then a large number of bards are used to spread the stigma of "the foolish king who is jealous of the true god".
In a feudal royal country, a powerful centralized king is undoubtedly something that all the nobles do not want to see. The Oran Empire has two grand dukes, four dukes, and thirty-seven marquises, and more than 70% of them have their own territories. And the local people, and the local emperor who has been in his own territory for a long time.
In the future "history", Dasos, who is in power, will find a reason to take back one-third of the titles and confiscate their territories and wealth. Created a powerful centralized state.
This is also a historical inevitability. When the royal power rises, the local nobles will inevitably be suppressed. In a sense, the nobles of the Oran Empire did nothing wrong. They have long seen the ambition of the new king, and have been looking for opportunities and flaws to break the situation.
On the other hand, two hours after the Donglan Principality made a request to keep the three people, the thirteen countries made exactly the same request, and three of them have even been vassal states of the Oran Empire for a century.
Now the three people themselves don't care anymore. The envoys of various countries don't even know the names of the three people, but it doesn't prevent them from protesting. These "innocent" unlucky ones have become the breakthrough point for many small countries to challenge the authority of Oran, and as the envoys of various countries have obtained the authorization of the royal family of their country, I am afraid that the camp participating in the challenge will become larger and larger.
This is undoubtedly the retribution of the Oran Empire's oppression of the small country's subordinates. No one wants to be a subordinate of other countries, that is, to pay tribute and serve as cannon fodder during the war. Anyway, the situation can no longer be worse, so it is better to take advantage of the new king's ascension.
Undoubtedly, during this period of time. Dassos' kingship and dignity were challenged by internal and external attacks, but the way he responded was very memorable.
Facing the provocation, he kept silent strangely, and he didn't intend to criticize the Principality of Donglan. Instead, they silently fulfilled the requirements of the contract and handed over a large amount of resources and technology to the missions.
"Is this softening?"
Renee and Kelly were very surprised. This is not the style of that strong emperor at all, but in my eyes, the man has not changed at all. He is a typical gambler. Entered more chips, intending to gamble bigger.
If he planned to compromise, he would release those three people at this time, but he kept a strange silence about those three people. He just silently endured the pressure, and then waited for the opportunity to make a comeback.
But fulfilling the contract is only part of it. According to our contract, if the Oran Empire fulfills the resources and technology that should be paid in the contract, then it will be my turn to hand over the key to the underwater base to Dassos.
"A chance for a comeback... the succession ceremony? At that time, just pull out the floating fleet, no, you don't need the entire fleet, as long as there is one ship, this unprecedented epoch-making weapon is enough to boost its momentum , Suppress all objections."
I can even guess how he will modify the program at the succession ceremony. The military parade is always a good opportunity to promote the military strength. At the moment when the military strength of all parties is on the stage, once the new type of warship appears, it can be suppressed. The big aristocrats and dependent countries that are about to make a move have actually brought his authority to a higher level.
I only say that the emperor is a gambler because this plan sounds good, but it is a dangerous gamble full of uncertainties.
"If the desperate engineers have completely destroyed their hard-working creations, the inside is already in ruins: if even if the gates are opened, if there is not a single ship that can be completed in three months to catch up with the grand ceremony , is also the end of nothing.”
But his early performance of the contract is a good thing for Donglan Principality, which is in urgent need of various resource subsidies, but for me, I have to hurry up. After all, I am also very interested in the treasures of the underwater base, at least The technology of the floating fleet can be said to be a priceless treasure that all countries want.
It is reasonable to say that there is only one entrance to the underwater base, which is around the pier of the old bridge, but it has long been the station of the Oran Royal Guard, where the emperor's most trusted elite troops are stationed, and there are also demigod-level "hunting dragon shooters" "Where is Damus in charge, let alone entering, even getting close will cause big trouble.
But at this time, diving under the river is to find another thing.
"Yes, it is indeed here."
Even though it is constantly complaining, the multi-functional cat can emit a slight fluorescence underwater, which is convenient for me to find my target.
After two nights of futile return, I finally found my target, which was the emblem of the white wolf on a rock wall. Although it was covered with aquatic plants and corroded by the water flow, the ferocious wolf head was still there. Still alive.
I carefully moved the wolf tooth necklace close to the emblem on the rock wall, but there was no reaction.
"Sure enough, the blood I got from Dassos is not enough. Fortunately, I was prepared."
In the pouch at the waist was a bottle of fresh blood. (Dasos' father: unfilial son, there are blood-sucking rats in the dungeon, get out of here! Stinky rats! Could it be that the old man will be killed by rats for his fame!)
And as the blood mixed with the river water. As the wolf fang necklace was completely dyed red, finally, the pupils of the sculptured wolf head emitted white light. Then, as a black hole on the nearby rock wall was opened, the water level of the entire river changed slightly.
"Sure enough, there is an underwater exit."
finally. I am relieved that this kind of underwater base that hollows out the rock wall should have an underwater emergency exit. Although it is my personal guess, the opening of the hole after the mechanism is activated undoubtedly proves the correctness of this guess.
But this channel is not spacious, and it should not be the expected channel for ships, but an exit for water flow or personnel migration.
I sneaked into the cave carefully. Follow the underwater channel all the way up, and after a few minutes, you will reach the surface of the water.
And just poked his head out, and haven't looked twice. I quickly dived in.
"Thousands of calculations, I still didn't expect this kind of result."
Neither I nor Dassos have any hope that there are still survivors in the base. After all, water and food have been cut off for more than a year, even if we can use river water to make do with food. But if there is no food for a year, no matter how you think about it, it will be dead.
But just glanced at it just now, and found that we all guessed wrong. Not only are there survivors here, but the survivors are still working hard to build the ship. On the other side of the pier, two medium-sized airships have already docked at the port.
"It's still in the same company. Judging from the number of low-level undead, there should be an undead monarch-level existence."
Yes, although there are survivors, there are no living ones. Most of the busy workers on the pier are skeletons and zombies, but judging from the unfinished flesh on the zombies, they have just been transformed into undead not long ago .
"Prince Kaluoxin? Maybe there is a lich with the least holy rank in it, which is really difficult to deal with."
And even if you don't look at those undead creatures, those small and medium-sized golems busy on the pier are not easy to deal with. As the most important military base of the Oran Empire, it is unimaginable not to have a defense force armed to the teeth.
Judging from the future information, there is also a Ghost Fleet unit in the future Armada, and the fleet admiral is a high-level lich named Kaluoxin, who is said to be the younger brother of the former king and the uncle of Dasos.
At that time, some people speculated that Wei and a dignified prince of a great country would become a lich, and it was outrageous that the King of Winter Wolf actually handed over half of the fleet to this undead man, but now it seems that it should be the prince who handed over the fleet. The emperor is right.
I'm afraid, being separated from the outside world this time is the opportunity for this archmage to turn into a lich. After all, when he finds that there is not enough food, he will never sit still and transform into an undead creature that does not need food, perhaps a living creature. The best option to come down.
I silently sneaked underwater, keeping the surrounding situation in mind, and then turned and left without hesitation.
"Since the combat power is insufficient this time, let's bring more people next time."
But as soon as I returned to the church, my plan was hit in the head. My current number one thug, Diana, the Knight of the Bright Moon, is destined not to be able to participate in this plan.
"Well... I grew up in an underground city. Water is a very important resource. It would be a waste to use it for bathing, but if it is used for swimming."
Well, needless to say the rest, the excuse that the inhabitants of the underground world can't swim is too convincing.
And considering that heavy armor units like paladins rely heavily on equipment for food, and diving with armor is an impossible challenge, I even gave up the idea of letting her try diving.
Looking around, Beifeng and Casio both looked up at the sky and tried their best to act as if they didn't hear our discussion. Green remained silent, but he knew he couldn't get into the water just because of his heavy armor. Momo raised his hand quite enthusiastically speak.
"I have the best water skills among the urban management. I practiced in Old Molek's fish pond before. I can hold back underwater for a minute! I can also swim more than 30 meters in one breath."
Well, what is the meaning of the ten-year-old's record? Sure enough, I was too happy, and in the end I turned my attention to Ke Luosi for help, but I still gave an apologetic answer.
"My lord, wild elves have never liked water. Since I have been in the underground world for a long time, I have never learned how to transform seals, so..."
"Won't."
"It doesn't even rain very often in the underground world."
Looking at a group of landlubbers in front of me, when my head was big, the black cat on my shoulder smiled triumphantly.
"Idiot, it's not enough to find a sea monster. Their racial talent, the blessing of the sea god, can allow people who can't swim to swim and breathe underwater in a short period of time. It must be enough."
"There is only the river here, but no sea. Where can I go to find the sea monster?"
"this."
It was a battered poster of a funny clown, a two-headed ogre acrobat, a trapeze on a swing, and a siren trainer performing seal training in a large pool.
"Fire Dragon Circus? I seem to have heard of it somewhere." ()
