Chapter 1144: Emboldened

For the local people in O'Dorraine, the accident at the smelter built by the Dodd Group gave them an extra after-dinner talk. While gloating about the Dodd Group’s losses in this disaster, they bet on the Dodd Group. When will they withdraw from Odoline City, by the way, they also taunted those Odoline residents who joined the smelter for high wages but are now killed.
Although Odoline City is a new city composed of outsiders, most of the residents of Odoline City think that they are pure Odoline people because of some deliberate publicity carried out by the management of the city. Outsiders, which makes O'Dorlin folks very xenophobic, even thinking that any outsider is taking advantage of him.
Under the influence of this kind of xenophobic sentiment, the Dodd Group's entry into O'Dorrain was naturally regarded as some kind of invasion by the locals.
Although the Dodd Group acquired a cursed piece of land as the basis for the factory building with the secret assistance of the Mu Linghui, after the factory was built, it was unable to recruit workers locally because the local people believed that under the influence of xenophobic emotions Working at the Dodd Group smelter is enslaved, and the cursed land also discourages the locals.
The land used by the Dodd Group to build the factory has become an urban legend in Odoline from the day Odoline City was rebuilt. Whoever builds any building on that piece of land will be completed. It will collapse and be destroyed inexplicably soon afterwards.
The Odoline City Government has also thought of various ways to solve this problem. After all, this piece of land is located in the center of Odoline Industrial Zone. The area is as large as one-third of the industrial zone. It is a very large piece of land. The land is empty here, which is an unbearable waste for the inner city of O'Dorrain, where the land is very tense.
However, both the church and the shaman have sent people here more than once to perform various exorcism, surrender, blessings, and other ceremonies. The result can only be calm for a period of time, after which the building should collapse or will collapse.
When the Dodd Group learned that the land it used to build its factory buildings was such a cursed land, many insiders expressed opposition. Those who survived the foggy years have seen all kinds of mysterious and terrifying things. Things, it is clear that anything related to the curse is a big trouble.
Although being able to settle in O'Dorraine will allow the Dodd Group to break through the walls built by various forces in the mainland of Mozambique and extend its business and influence to the south and wasteland. It will play a pivotal role in the subsequent development of the Dodd Group, but if it is At the expense of provoking a curse, it's a question of whether this matter is ultimately worthwhile.
However, this matter finally ended the fierce discussion under Sylvia's instructions, and the Dodd Group still chose to station in Odolin, and did not care about the urban legend of the cursed land.
In the eyes of onlookers, the Dodd Group’s decision was because they couldn’t bear the temptation to expand to the south. In fact, Sylvia’s decision was more for the purpose of borrowing the Curse of Odoline. To draw out various restless forces inside and outside the group, as for O'Doryn's factory building she had planned to destroy it from the beginning.
However, many things cannot be developed in accordance with Sylvia's wishes.
From the beginning, she anticipated that it would be difficult to recruit workers locally? So she pretended to increase the salary of workers every period of time, acting as if she wanted to hire locals? She just used this reason as an excuse to delay When the plant was opened, it was not until more than ten days had passed since the recorded curse occurred that she transferred a group of workers from other places? And the local workers recruited heavily to start the factory.
Originally, she had acted as carefully as possible, and every new factory was opened with various safety measures? Other factories that were already in operation were also temporarily resting? To avoid serious casualties when the curse happened.
However? It was strange to everyone, including the locals? Until all the plants of the smelter were opened? The curse still did not happen? At that time, many people thought that the curse had disappeared? It was so big for the Dodd Group. A piece of land, it is very jealous to successfully settle in Odoline? Even Sylvia felt that the curse might have really disappeared, so she went south to Odoline? Inspect the factory.
What I didn’t expect was that she had just arrived at O’Dorlin on the second day, and something happened to the factory? She was caught off guard. Fortunately, she had anticipated it a long time ago? And there was a corresponding response plan that could reduce the loss. Controlled to the minimum, except that the smelting furnace where the giant was located has been completely destroyed, leaving only a cooling iron pool, the other main buildings and equipment of the plant have been preserved under the action of various protective measures, and the actual loss is not As huge as the outside world looks.
It's just that Sylvia didn't tell the actual situation of the current factory, and the content announced to the outside was deliberately vague, giving people the illusion of huge losses and immeasurable losses, and then she quietly waited for those who were unpredictable. People jump out by themselves.
In addition, she did not bring the Great Shaman of the Murring Society who was captured by Leo to the Murring Society to question the guilt, because she knew very well that not only would it not make the Murring confess her behavior, but it was very likely to be Mulling would take a bite back, so she imprisoned the Shaman of the Mulling Society. On the same day, she sent the people to the New Bodo area by floating boats and locked them up, waiting to be used as a bargaining chip in the future to attack the Mulling Society.
As for Leo's trump card, she didn't reveal it, because once the news of a demigod standing beside her spreads out, the hidden poisonous snakes will probably not appear again.
She has no patience to play those intriguing power games with these poisonous snakes, not to mention that now with Leo's hole card, she really can't think of any reason not to take this opportunity to solve the poisonous snakes hidden in the grass at once. Drop.
Under Sylvia’s deliberate operation, unfavorable news about the Dodd Group’s internal discussions on whether to continue to build a factory in Odoline and the compensation of the victims was blocked. It didn’t take long for Odoline’s market to spread. The Dodd Group was preparing to divest and leave, and even the news spread that the victims were unwilling to pay compensation.
Immediately afterwards, a large march against the Dodd Group began to brew in O'Dorraine. Various union leaders and politicians all jumped out to criticize the Dodd Group. For a time, the Dodd Group became the city of O'Dorraine. Like a rat crossing the street.
Later, the city government sent someone to meet with Sylvia, seemingly wanting to ask Sylvia how she planned to resolve the matter, but she was sent back without seeing Sylvia's people.
The city government also deliberately leaked out what had been coldly received, which angered the local people more and more, and those agitators who were hidden among the people also took this opportunity to start to guide the parade to no longer be limited to the factory area. They started to move towards Sylvia’s residence in Odolin City, but they didn’t even know that Sylvia was not in the villa in the wealthy district at this moment, but on the top floor of the American National Tax Building in the commercial district. Here you can overlook the entire wealthy area, and the parades walking slowly on the streets are as small as insects.
The reason why Sylvia appeared here was not because the U.S. Government of the United Kingdom became her collaborator, but because the director of the Odoline Internal Revenue Service was a that the Dodd Group had already placed in Odoline. Even the tax army of the Internal Revenue Service is an armed force secretly controlled by the Dodd Group, which is one of the reasons why she had the confidence to set up such a huge trap at first, and did not worry about messing it up.
"Should we close the net?" Watching the restless people surround Sylvia's villa, Emily showed a displeasure look on her face, although this was part of Sylvia's plan. But she still felt offended, so she asked Sylvia, who was working on the document.
Sylvia did not immediately respond to the inquiry, but carefully read the documents in his hand, quickly wrote down the solution, and then handed it to the secretary beside him. Then he shook his head and said, "It is not yet time. Now only a few abandoned pieces have jumped out. The people who are really playing chess have not yet finished. Now that we close the net, we will only catch some small fish and shrimps. The real big fish will immediately slip away when the situation is not right. Go, it will be difficult to catch them next time."
"Actually, you don't have to be angry at these people who can't see the situation." Su also walked to the window with a glass of wine at this time, looking down at the flow of people like a overlooking all living beings, and said: "These people's thoughts are still Immersed in the past, they believed that public opinion and the number of people could control the situation. However, they did not know that as the extraordinary power became a universal force, the influence of the difference in the number of people had gradually weakened, and the powerful power of the individual was the key to the world situation. "As she said, she turned to look at Leo, who was sitting on the sofa quickly flipping through various materials and books, and said with a little envy: "When the gods cannot directly descend into the world, the demigod is the world. The ruler of the world, and the unrestricted demigod is an unimaginable existence."
Feeling that the topic has shifted to himself, Leo raised his head and added: "I can only be regarded as a special case. If there is no accident, it is impossible for the world of Vinylon to have a second special case like me."
The reason Leo used a special case to describe himself was because he discovered from the information he collected about demigods during this period that he, a seventh-level psionicist equivalent to a demigod, was a very special existence.
According to Sylvia's analysis, although his demigod is slightly weaker than other demigods, it does not have the limitations of other demigods, which means that he is a demigod that exceeds the rules of the world.
In this world, any demigod will have restrictions. For example, special demigods such as the swamp gods can only exist in the Black Forest swamp of the Hanover League, and can only appear in the form of natural spirits. In front of the congregation, not the actual body.
The Snow Queen of Deliat is different. She can be said to be a demigod walking in the world. When she appears in front of everyone, she is completely unintentional to humans, but she is also restricted. That restriction is her ice kingdom, she The power of the demigod can only be fully displayed within the scope of her ice and snow kingdom. Once she leaves the ice and snow kingdom, even if it is only one step across the border, her power will instantly fall from the demigod realm.
As for the demi-gods recognized by other orthodox courts in the world of Velen, and those demi-gods in the underground churches, all will be subject to various restrictions, and some of these restrictions are even fatal.
In the world of Vinylon, there was a legend that a farmer stabbed a demigod to death with a pitchfork. For those underground forces with ancient heritage, this is not a legend, but a fact. The reason is that The demigod violated his own taboos and did things beyond the limits, so he happened to die on the pitchfork, and the pitchfork became a holy thing because it killed a demigod. It has been secretly kept by the Orthodox Court.
It is precisely because the limitation of the demigod is very deadly that some people who are already close to the level of the demigod will be very entangled when they take the last step. The representative figure is the king who chooses Saran.
So far, Saran, the king of choice, has not become a demigod like the Snow Queen. It is because of various concerns in her heart~EbookFREE.me~ and depending on the situation, she may still be able to do so for a long time in the future. Maintain the status.
So when they learned that Leo had become a demigod, Sylvia and others were a little curious about what restrictions Leo would have, but they did not take the initiative to ask, because this is a matter of life and death after all, even if it is a hope. Elvia also felt that she shouldn't have known this.
However, when Leo read some information about the demigod, he found out that he was different at the beginning, so he took the initiative to tell Sylvia.
Sylvia naturally didn’t believe it at first. After all, this kind of thing had never happened in the past. It was not until she tested Leo’s power through some orthodox methods that she was sure that Leo was indeed a bad person. A special demigod restricted by the world.
This is naturally a good thing for her. A demigod already possesses sufficient deterrence, and an unrestricted demigod possesses deterrence even more than ten times, even if Leo is a demigod. The power is slightly weak.
After Emily and Sue learned about it from Sylvia, they were both extremely surprised. Even after several days, the emotions of surprise and envy had not completely subsided.
Leo didn’t want the topic to shift to himself, so he quickly found a new topic and asked Sylvia:
Why didn’t you let me arrest the assassins sent by the Church of the Lord of the Sky yesterday? With those assassins in hand, the advantages of negotiating with the Church of the Lord of the Sky will be much greater in the future."
"It's impossible for the assassins who stab the living room to let us catch them alive, even if you do it." Sylvia shook her head, and then sneered again: "And to solve them does not require us to do it. The Mullings are right The people who stabbed the living room of the Lord of the Sky Church hate it."
