I seem to be an evil god

"This is your purpose, isn't it? Constantine."

Liu Dao pointed to the disciplinary clauses in the contract, "If you fail to complete the task, you will be compensated for the potion. This is not like the clauses written by this steward."

"There has to be a price to pay. Otherwise, what if you never take action but screw up when you finally do it?" the eldest prince said, avoiding the important matter.

"Don't change the concept secretly, Constantine. If you want the potion, you can ask me directly. You can change it with the summoning spell." Liu Dao shrugged.

"Compared to that, I still think gold coins are more reasonable. Gaia, I think you should know that Gadgetzan Auction House is going to start a large-scale auction recently. This type of large-scale auction only happens once every few months. There are many rare Things will show up.”

The eldest prince smiled and looked at Liu Dao, "Just like the summoning technique you need."

"Haha, are you trying to tempt me? 50,000 gold coins is indeed a huge sum of money."

"No one can force you if you don't want to go. Just like this contract, I can't do anything to you if you don't sign it."

"Okay, you can start being happy."

Liu Dao picked up the contract and wrote his name.

"Get your gold coins ready, I won't delay for too long."

Liu Dao left after finishing writing. After he left, the middle-aged housekeeper looked at the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, is this President Gaia your new partner? What exactly is the potion he masters?"

"This is not something you should know. If it weren't for showing sincerity, you wouldn't be here at all."

The eldest prince looked at the middle-aged butler coldly, "Tell Casper that I really need him to do something in his position as earl, but this does not mean that I will tolerate him indefinitely. 50,000 gold coins is just a lesson. I don’t want to hear any more questions about title succession, remember, there will be no next time.”

The middle-aged butler was sweating and retreated without saying a word. When he left, Lestrade, who had always stood aside, spoke.

Unlike the middle-aged butler, Lestrade is the trusted subordinate of the eldest prince. When the eldest prince is unable to convey orders in the palace, Lestrade can make decisions on his behalf.

This time he called Lestrade. The eldest prince wanted him to establish contact with Liu Dao and make an assessment of Liu Dao.

"Your Highness, President Gaia, to be honest, I don't see anything to praise."

Lestrade's voice was calm, without the anger he felt when he first met Liu Dao.

"Without rules and etiquette, except for the potions you need, he and his forces are not worthy of attention."

"It's not just potions." The eldest prince shook his head slightly. "There is probably a legend behind Gaia."

"But Your Highness, the Legend has never announced to anyone that Gaia is his disciple. Now it seems that President Gaia is more like a subordinate who collects resources for the Legend. This kind of person, as long as he has some means."

"That's enough, Lestrade."

The eldest prince's voice became colder, "After the mistake last time, haven't you realized it? Legend is the one we must try our best to win over. Even if Gaia is just a subordinate of Lord Merlin, we must show our attitude. Even if it’s completely useless, I won’t hesitate!”

Lestrade remained silent. He was a wise man who could perfectly control the intricate forces under the great prince, and could design traps that people could not escape from. However, his strategy had a nemesis:

A strong man who acts purely for personal preference.

Lestrade once thought that he could plan everything by relying on his resourcefulness. Success after success convinced him that he was doing the right thing. Then, he designed a legend.

He used an extremely complex strategy to design a legend, and never exposed himself from beginning to end. The plan was successfully completed, but after the success, as one of the beneficiaries, the eldest prince was exposed.

The enemy told Lord Legend the name of the great prince, and then, destruction came.

The interests planned by Lestrade were completely destroyed. The legendary Lord did not have any evidence from beginning to end, but he did not need evidence.

Afterwards, Lestrade reflected on it and realized that his problem was that he did not test the emotions of the legendary powerhouse. This should be considered in his plan. The legendary powerhouse should be allowed to work for them happily instead of using Some kind of covert means to threaten.

The failure was found, but Lestrade was not happy.

The reason why a plan is called a plan is because many times the plan must go against the will of the person being planned, and various methods must be used to control the person being planned. If it is a job that does not require going against the will, then why do you need a plan? Just come to your door and propose the transaction.

Strategy is a means of defeating the strong with the weak, using scarce resources to achieve miraculous results. Defeating the strong with the strong is not a strategy, but a reasonable use of intelligence.

The eldest prince knew that Lestrade's idea was wrong, but Lestrade believed in this error and was unwilling to correct it.

The eldest prince did not try to persuade Lestrade, but continued to use him. However, from then on, Lestrade's rights were restricted by the eldest prince. When it came to key plans, Lestrade no longer had the power to make decisions for the eldest prince. s right.

Just like today, what the eldest prince wanted was completely different from what Lestrade wanted, so when Lestrade was going on and on about his plan for Liu Dao, the eldest prince interrupted him.

"Lestrade, what I need is for you to evaluate Liu Dao, explore his preferences, and ponder his character, so that the next time I trade with him, I can use less gold coins to exchange for more potions. , instead of trying to threaten or control Gaia, there is a legend behind him, who is not someone we can control!"

Lestrade was silent for a moment, "Yes, I understand. I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Very well, Lestrade, it's best if you understand what I mean. Monitor Gaia and find out the weaknesses in his character. This incident is an opportunity. Andrew and his Cabbage Leaf Chamber of Commerce are not good. If necessary, you can use my name to contact Liu Dao and help him complete his mission."

After entrusting some details and discussing other plans with Lestrade, the King left the apartment.

After the eldest prince left, Lestrade closed the door, opened his eyes and lay on the bed, meditating.

Half an hour later, Lestrade stopped thinking. He took out a flashing red communication rune from the secret compartment under the bed. This rune was always playing a disorderly noise. Most people would just think it was broken when they saw it. of runes.

But Lestrade was different. He listened quietly to the noise for a few minutes and quickly found out the hidden patterns. Then he took out a brand new communication rune and mobilized his inner breath to dial a secret frequency.

"who are you?"

Lestrade asked without emotion. He was silently counting the time for the other party to answer and trying to guess the identity of the other party.

"It is a pleasure to receive your communication, Mr. Lestrade."

Soon, a joyful voice came from the other side of the rune, "We are glad to speak to a wise man like you."

"Then?" Lestrade's voice was cold. He had heard too many compliments like this.

"We have a perverse, David-and-Goliath plan, and we need your help."
