Vol 3 Chapter 73: Dark Blade (1)

Purgatory Island, the root of the empire's rise, is also the birthplace of the Empire's nightmare.
Perhaps no one will ever think that Xiuyi will establish his first true base there.
For Xiuyi, there really is no more suitable development base than Purgatory Island.
There has been abandoned by the empire, and in a short time, they could not imagine that Xiuyi would develop there.
The Sea of ​​Death itself is the best natural barrier, and there are abundant resources on Purgatory Island for everyone to survive.
There are ready-made castles and docks, and just need to be expanded to accommodate enough people. There are ready-made alchemy laboratories and various magic plant breeding areas. After bringing troops there, Xiuyi will have a large number of Manpower provided him with various alchemy materials.
For the Reims Empire, attacking Purgatory Island meant laboring and moving the ocean. For Xiuyi, all that was needed was to set up an eternal magic teleportation array.
What's more, Xiu Yi can rest assured that putting troops there, because on that island, there is also a truly powerful guardian demon Rita.
With her guarding Purgatory Island, I believe that many troubles will be disintegrated, not to mention the little guy Asahi, and she can always go back to see her mother in the future.
Of course, if there are any shortcomings, there are too many people, which will inevitably destroy the living environment on Purgatory Island to a certain extent. This is definitely not expected by Xiuyi. Therefore, according to Xiuyi's consideration, Purgatory Island The Admiral only places a maximum of 3,000 people, and the rest need to be arranged separately.
In the small mountain cave, everyone is still discussing how to plan and arrange the next step, but Xiuyi no longer needs to participate.
As the top leader, you must seize the power of the center of gravity, but in the decision-making process, you may wish to listen to the opinions of others. In essence, the six kings are still very good men. At first, it was more difficult to say that it was a certain degree of temptation. After the lesson, give them some opportunity to perform.
Therefore, at this moment Xiuyi leaned on the deepest wall in the cave and listened quietly to everyone's discussion.
At this point, the meeting finally started to look good.
"It is necessary to maintain stability internally and expand externally. No matter what kind of forces, this development trend is unavoidable." Buckler said: "At present, the biggest problem for us is the issue of identity. No matter what we go Wherever you develop, you must have a reasonable and legal identity. But prisoners do n’t. This problem must be solved, otherwise we can only stay in the mountains and islands. "
"The way of survival also needs to be solved. We cannot rely on farming to feed ourselves. I believe what Xiu wants is not a group of farmers. The majority of prisoners in Spark prison are violent criminals. Good is a waste of resources, "said Creo.
"Everyone gets together, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the strength of getting together is large. The disadvantage is that many people have big goals and are easy to find. But the camouflage of thousands of people is not so easy to complete." Lilith also Say.
Compared to finding a development base where you can rest assured, how to expand yourself and walk freely on this land is obviously more difficult.
Everyone sees where the trouble is, but it is not easy to solve it.
"All of these problems, in my opinion, are actually a problem, that is, a problem of identity. As long as this problem is solved, other ones can also be followed to solve it." Still, Hoodin was flexible and pointed out the key points of the problem.
"The problem is with so many people, how to solve it?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Hodding's face: "This world is huge, and there is not only one country on this land. Problems that cannot be solved by the Reims Empire, and other countries, may not be so difficult. Many When we look at it from another perspective, we find that it is actually very simple. "
A smart scammer is best at arranging various scams. For them, identity camouflage is a basic component in any scam and a required course for every scammer.
In Hoddin's view, masquerading for thousands is not necessarily more difficult than masquerading for one person.
The reason is simple, find out the trick of disguise, and then copy this trick countless times.
If there is any difference in this, it is that a single scammer often requires more detail, and the camouflage procedure needs to be precise to the details, while the group does not need to be so precise, it only needs to grasp the most critical part.
Putting this problem on Xiu Yi's new team, the problem is even simpler.
It is impossible to carry out repairs with thousands of people, all they need is identity. For scammers, there is an identity that is best to impersonate abroad.
"You mean, appearing in the Reims Empire in the form of a foreign entry team?" Creo had a hard time imagining Hording's idea.
"That's right." Hodding answered with certainty, and he spread out a map: "You see, there are twelve neighboring countries around the Reims Empire, of which the Great Empire and the Empire of Georgia are the two great empires. , And is fighting the Reims Empire, there are a total of ten small countries bordering the Empire. "
Xiu nodded, pointing to the map and saying, "Of these ten small countries, four are dependent on the Lance Empire, and three are dependent on Franck and Georgia. If you want to choose, the most suitable is to choose the Lance Empire. Four small countries and three neutral countries. "
The others nodded again and again.
Buckler asked, "How is the Kingdom of Castle? Nearest here, we are most familiar with the situation over there."
Xiu Yi immediately denied: "The population of Castle Kingdom is too small. There are only three small groups, and the total population does not exceed 300,000. It is not suitable."
Lilith also asked, "Where is the Kingdom of Matterson?"
Xiu still shook his head: "They are loyal to the Reims Empire and have been in close contact with the Empire for many years. There are even many people in the Matterson Kingdom who serve in the Reims Empire. The relationship is too close to fit.
Everyone then proposed several places, but they were all rejected by Xiu Yi.
At that time, Boland suddenly said, "Sido."
Everyone's eyes were staring at an inconspicuous place on the map at the same time.
Cido, one of three neutral nations among the twelve countries surrounding Reims.
Unlike the other two neutral nations, Cido is not truly neutral. It is a land of wasteland and chaos that even the Reims Empire is unwilling to conquer.
People call it the most confusing place on the northern continent.
It is also the only country that is not under the full control of humankind.
The composition of the personnel here is very complicated, elf, dwarf, orc, whatever type of race.
The land of wasteland was first established in a barren wilderness with scarce resources and few people. At first it was established by a group of exiled prisoners. In order to survive, the people here have a close exchange with the local indigenous people. This communication includes a series of acts of fraud, murder, war, trading, etc.
Various ethnic groups are familiar with, understand, develop, and grow in this kind of communication, and in this close communication, gradually integrate into a strange multi-ethnic mixed country. So the people living here may be the weirdest people in the continent. You can see mixed races, intermarriages, children of all skin colors and forms, but at the same time they are full of chaos, fights, killings, death……
The people here are fierce and fierce, they are brave and fierce. Because of the barren resources of the wasteland country, they often fight for a little food. In the development of thousands of years, every civilian here has learned to grow in battle from birth. Those who are weak are only qualified to die early.
The population here is small, but it is brave.
Force is not only the foundation for the people of the wasteland to survive, but also the foundation for development. Eighty percent of men here will engage in the same professional soldiers when they reach adulthood.
The soldiers of the Wasteland are probably the best and cheapest in the entire Fengming continent. Their prices are cheap and their operations are fierce. Because they are multi-ethnic, there are many beasts in the wasteland, and they have grown up in battle. They have seen a variety of big scenes and are suitable for most combat tasks. welcome.
It is precisely because the waste land is barren and the customs are fierce that no country is interested in attacking it, so that they can always remain free and neutral.
And now, Boland proposed the name of Cido.
"Choose Xiduo has several advantages. One: the staff is complex, the land is vast, the population is scarce, and the people are fierce. Our staff is similar in quality to them. Second: Xiduo's national policy is open to them. Said that the entry of foreigners is the best way to bring in resources, so they are welcome to foreign merchants. Of course, that does not mean that they will not rob merchants, which is more dangerous than the mountain of Villas. We After you can enter there, fight for the right of residence there, apply for identity, and openly form a team to become a legal citizen of Xido. Three: Because there is a multi-ethnic settlement, and you have been encouraged to enter, so Accents vary widely. This is a perfect excuse for us, after all, our people also come from all parts of the empire. Fourth: We can even build a permanent base there, openly recruiting personnel, as a supplement to combat power. 5: Although the resources of Xido are barren, there are some special resources that other countries do not have. Some of them are very fierce Warcraft. It is the best alchemy resources. Even if we stay in the Cistercian not go out alone to hunt Warcraft to repair Iraq provided material, the profits earned enough to feed everyone. "
"But national policy does not represent locality. As far as I know, the people there are very xenophobic. They welcome the property of foreign merchants, not people." Buckler expressed concern. To go to a country where people are not familiar, once the local people do not accept them, the resistance encountered is considerable.
In particular, the peculiar customs caused by multi-ethnic living are enough to cause headaches.
No one knows when to get in trouble when not careful.
"Besides, there is a long distance to Cido," Hodding said.
"Distance is not a problem." Xiu Yi firmly said: "I can make the teleportation array first, and then find someone to take it first. As for the local folk customs, it seems we need a guide. As long as the money is large, someone must be willing Work for us. "
Boran immediately responded: "It is not necessary. In fact, in this valley, there is a Cido."
Everyone was confused.
Are there many people here?
Xiu Yi looked at the Six Heavenly Kings in surprise, and saw the fierce wolf hehehe laughed: "It is not us, to be precise, he is not one of us yet. But don't forget, the land of wasteland, A mixed country. "
"You mean ... Lion King Hailey?" Buckler screamed strangely.
When he heard the name Lion King Hailey, Clio jumped out first: "I'm against it!"
Although Hailey is not a pervert like Thunderbolt, as the caretaker, he is unlikely to treat the prisoners too well.
The inherent opposition caused them to have extreme hatred and dissatisfaction with each other. As early as when they were robbed, many prisoners tried to hack.
It was unacceptable for many prisoners to have Hailey join the team.
But Bolan glared at Creo immediately, and this time, it wasn't him who instructed Creo to do so.
However, no matter what, all Uranus said at the same time that they would never accept Hailey to join the team.
This makes Xiu's brows frown.
Everyone has only been together for a short time. Xiu Yi's prestige in the Six Heavenly Kings has not been fully established. To solve this problem, it is still only Bolan and him that can make everyone obedient.
At that time, he noticed that Boran also seemed to be aware of this problem, so when Xiu Yi looked at him, he looked at Xiu Yi politely, as if he had something to say.
After thinking for a while, Xiuyi said, "Bolan, come out for a while. I want to talk to you alone."
it's time.
Bolan knew exactly why Xiu was looking for him.
In fact, he was quite satisfied that Xiu Yi could only restrain him until now.
"I don't want you to misunderstand, Hugh Iglell, in fact I have never been interested in power."
Lying on that rock, Bolan said leisurely.
He took a bath near the mountain spring, and then reorganized his beard and hair, which made him look more pleasing than before.
"I guess you want to use the difficulties of the previous meeting to make a bargaining chip with me." Xiu Yi's performance made Bo Lan admire.
This teenager is really very smart.
"I know you want to use me to attract Malite, so according to your plan, you will send me out of here soon."
"Yes."
"But I hope you can change your mind." "B> 13 看 网 / b> 网 手机 手机: 1/6 / c // m"
"Changing your mind?"
"Yes. There weren't so many people in your previous plan, but now you have. Hugh Igle, you can work out a new plan that is more in line with the current situation."
"Mallit is a seventh-level fire department. I don't think I need to remind you. You should also know what the consequences will be once a fire department has the opportunity to give full play. Numbers sometimes don't make sense. "
"Yes, I know. But I still hope you can accept my suggestion."
"how do you want to do it?"
"Duel with Mallett, I'll kill him, just myself."
"That's impossible. Even if you were a warrior in the sky, you're just a dead man with no arms."
"But you promised me that you said you could give me new hands and feet!" Boland cried.
Once this wild tiger got serious, the huge momentum immediately enveloped the audience.
However, Xiu Yi is no longer the little servant in the past, but can only lower his body and lower his head in a way that seeks perfection.
With a slight snoring noise, Xiu Yi's fighting spirit also began to improve significantly. Although he was not as big and powerful as Bo Lan, he guaranteed that he was standing in this tide-like atmosphere.
"I promised, but it was not easy."
"I don't care! Hugh Iglell, you promised me, I want you to fulfill your promise!"
"Even if that's the case, you can't possibly defeat Mallett."
"So I need your help, and you need to give me more than you promised. Hugh Glair, I know you are the best alchemist in the world, and I know you must have a way to help me do what I want Yes. I want to kill Maritt, and kill him with my own hands! "
Xiu Yi was silent for a while, and finally said, "Yes, I can do it. I can help you have enough force. I can make you the most terrible half-human half-doll in the world. Let your Every inch of your body becomes a weapon, plus your own fighting energy, I can even make you a more terrible existence than the sky warrior. But unfortunately, I can't promise you. Because it requires me to pay a huge price. "
"At what cost?"
"A lot of materials, the consumption is far beyond your imagination. That is likely to consume half of the materials I currently have at one time ... That is enough to make ten teleportation arrays." Xiu shook his head and said, "So even you I can't promise you if you give up fighting with me, you should know the value of the materials to the alchemist. "
"How can you promise me? I can swear allegiance to you and use my life to serve you. All my strength belongs to you, as long as you help me do it."
"I refuse." Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi did not hesitate to reject Boran's request: "Even if you are loyal to me, your purpose is to challenge Mary with the body I built for you. Special. But the Master of the Golden Robe is not so easy to deal with, I fully understand your hatred. If you find that you can't defeat your opponent, then the consequence is likely that you will pull him to die together. A Marlite who died undead to me It ’s not important, but I may suffer a huge loss for myself. Everything I have paid for you may be lost. So, unless you give up revenge on Mallett alone and do things according to my plan, I will not You have made such a huge sacrifice. Shouldn't a loyal subordinate obey all of his masters? "
At that time, Boland suddenly said, "What if I have something more valuable than those materials?"
Xiu Yi froze slightly: "What did you say?"
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Boran's face: "You don't want to know, why would a sky warrior eventually fall to such a point? You don't want to know what it is that made Abraham Mallett torture at all costs. Me, but not me? There is something in his hands that he wants very much, no, not just him, but the entire Reims empire, something every strong man desires. You do n’t want to know Is that what? "
Xiuyi looked at Bolan for a long time before he said, "Except for alchemy, there is nothing to seduce me in this world."
"Including the blade of darkness?"
Bolan's words, like a thunderbolt, hit Xiuyi's heart heavily. !! ~!
