Ark's Journey to the Demon God
Page 92
Heroes can't save Victoria, let alone the continent of Terra. The continent of Terra doesn't need heroes at all!
Nian walked over and instinctively sensed her lover's thoughts. She stretched out her hand and held hands with Shen Muke.
"Don't be sad, none of this is your fault...you have tried your best."
did my best.
Yes, I have done so much. In the past year, I traveled to so many cities and did so many things. I tried my best, didn’t I?It was just "unexpected" that Londinium would become like this.
Shen Muke shook his head. This is a fallacy, and it is even more shameless self-justification.
He never makes excuses for himself.
"Perhaps, I need to change the way I do things, a path that is not a hero..."
On the streets, the cries still haven’t subsided...
……
Londinium basement.
This is the only place that has not been swept by the riots. At this moment, everyone gathers here.
Leader Arianna and Kelsey stood in the corner. They had not participated much in the previous battle, but they were still very tired.
Shen Muke knew that the two of them had just led the people of Witch Lin to rescue the wounded. Without them, Londinium would most likely have sacrificed more infected people and civilians.
The beast masters came back with Vina and Aledee. They encountered the army of the Duke of Normandy and almost all were injured. However, the two little girls were intact. At this time, they were guarding their respective fathers who were in a coma. .
[Lamer’s Theft Skills] After stealing a treasure, the treasure will be temporarily placed in the empire of consciousness. However, when a mortal enters the empire of consciousness, it will consume a lot of mental energy, so the old lion king
and the Duke of Cumberland is still in a coma.
Jeffrey Mace is not here. He was blocked in the imperial court by the minions of the Parliament just now. The forced breakout caused the wounds on his body to open, which are currently being treated.
The two Corleone brothers came back with the Draco twins. The twins were so tired that they had already fallen asleep.
Mr. Allen and Maena went to the infected community. The commotion basically subsided. The two of them ran back in disgrace. Fortunately, they were not injured along the way. However, Mr. Allen turned out to be the former Laizin University. bit, which surprised Shen Muke.
In short, the Londinium Black Snake incident has finally come to an end, and it is a good ending for the people around him.
However, this ending could not convince Shen Muke. He frowned and pondered, holding the poisonous spear in his hand.
He just sat on the chair, sitting quietly, but whether it was the Beast Master, Nian, Kelsey and others, they were all silently accompanying him.
In the basement, it was very quiet.
Everyone can feel that Agaritu is in a bad mood right now.
Agaritu has become stronger, this is a consensus.Including Nian, everyone present could feel that this individual named Agaritu had truly become a [god] in the field of power at this moment.
And when God is not in a good mood, it is best not to offend Him.
Nian's mood is a bit dull. Unlike others present, she can understand the mood of her little pot. She has experienced this kind of mourning and lamentation for ordinary people, as well as complaints about her own powerlessness.
This is the tragedy of idealists. Only you can adjust it, and no one else can enlighten you.
All I can do is spend more time with him... Fortunately, the court gave me a long vacation this time...
call--
The Duke of Cumberland and the old Lion King's breathing gradually became rapid, and they opened their eyes.
Then they saw the crowd in front of them.
The old lion king reacted quickly and looked at Gawain:
"Gawain...Londinium, how are you?"
"Everything is over, Charles." Gawain said calmly: "The black snake was defeated, and the Witch King hiding in the dark also escaped. This time, we won."
Did you win?that's great…
"Thanks to Agaritu, Charles, Victoria owes him a favor."
Really?
The old lion king reluctantly stood up, tried his best to smooth the wrinkles of his robe, and at the same time took off the crown on his head.Regardless of the dignity of the king, he solemnly saluted Shen Muke who was sitting on the chair.
"Thank you, Mr Agaritu, on behalf of everyone in Victoria."
The old Lion King's attitude is very sincere and touching.
However, Shen Muke's answer made everyone's heart sink: "You can't represent everyone, Charles Lane Victoria."
Agaritu called the king by his full name.
Everyone's first reaction was that Shen Muke was disrespectful.
However, when Shen Muke's slightly hoarse voice gradually dissipated, everyone came to their senses.
As Victoria's savior and a true devil, Agaritu was qualified to call the king by his first name, and no one dared to accuse him of anything.
"You are right." The old Lion King replied sadly: "I really have no face to represent Victoria. I, as well as the entire royal family, have a great responsibility for this incident."
"Mr. Agaritu, the Aslan royal family is willing to make compensation. I can use the royal family's wealth to subsidize those who suffered in this disaster, and I am also willing to make policy changes."
"I will cut spending and lower taxes in the next few years to appease the people. I will also sanction those who are doing nothing and let officials who can really do things be appointed. I will also..."
"I don't want to hear these words anymore."
Shen Muke shook his head, feeling a little tired.
"Charles Lane Victoria." A slightly hoarse voice sounded here: "You have to thank me, right?"
"That's right, if you have any needs, the Aslan family will try their best to satisfy you."
"Then let's talk about a business deal..."
Chapter 77 The Oath of the Demon God
Shen Muke is a relatively peaceful person.
This can be seen from his actions in Kjerag.
It is his code of conduct not to take action if he can, because he really does not want to see his life disappear.
Whenever there is a conflict, whenever a war breaks out, people are bound to die.
If you die, then there is nothing.
Perhaps Shen Muke had never experienced this before, so he paid special attention to this. Therefore, when the old lion king sincerely proposed that he could meet Shen Muke's needs, he chose to "negotiate business" without hesitation.
The old lion king was a little stunned. He couldn't quite understand the brain circuit of the person in front of him, but he quickly felt relieved. He nodded and said: "Of course, of course, Mr. Agaritu, the Aslan family is willing to cooperate with you." It’s an honor for us to do business.”
"Please make your terms."
As soon as these words came out, it represented the compromise of the old Lion King.
As the leader of a country, the old lion king was willing to use anything other than his life and country to repay Agaritu.
"I don't have many conditions, three in total." Shen Muke nodded his chin and began to talk: "First of all, I need to borrow Victoria's steam military machinery production factory.
The factory will take a while...about a few years...and the factory will also need to provide relevant raw materials. "
"Of course." The old Lion King nodded and said, "I will let the industrial department do its best to cooperate with you...but what do you want to build?"
"You don't need to know this. But I guarantee that this thing will not threaten Victoria in the slightest." Shen Muke shook his head and did not answer.
The old lion king nodded, so he could accept it.
"So, what about the second condition?"
"The second condition is that I need the production technology for the city defense cannon outside Londinium, as well as renting the entire production chain."
This will not work!
The old lion king subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he immediately calmed down and did not have an attack.
In the basement, everyone at this time was silent with their own thoughts, and they didn't speak.
"What do you want this for?"
Kelsey raised her head and asked tentatively.
"I need it, that's why, isn't it?"
Shen Muke's attitude made Kelxi speechless, and she was a little surprised for a moment.
Nian stroked Shen Muke's somewhat long hair from behind, hinting him to calm down.
Shen Muke shook his head inexplicably. He did not really lose his mind, but used the illusion of so-called anger and impulsiveness to blackmail the king into submission. In a game with a king, proper emotional expression is also very important.
Yes, Shen Muke was trying to repay his kindness. He calculated that everyone present would not disobey him during this period of time, so he showed an unscrupulous look just to win. Things that are nearly impossible to get.
The old Lion King thought for a while and finally said: "What will you do if you take away the city defense cannon?"
"It has nothing to do with Victoria, but I can guarantee that the muzzle will always point towards evil."
"Then I can promise you." The old lion king nodded.
"Next, is the third condition."
Shen Muke looked around, with everyone's faces reflected in his eyes, and said: "It won't be long before I take my companions away from Victoria. Maybe I won't come back for a long time..."
Companions, this term includes the years, the Corleone brothers and the Draco twins.
"Mr. Allen? Do you want to come with me? What we will do in the future may be much harder than being a housekeeper..." Shen Muke asked.
"Okay, as long as you give me a salary, sir~" Mr. Allen shrugged and said, "After all, I still have a wife and children to support at home~"
Shen Muke nodded and turned to Ma Enna: "Ma Enna, are you willing to leave Victoria with me?"
Ma Enna had long been "sold" to Shen Muke by his father Cyril. He said calmly: "Of course, Mr. Agaritu, of course, anyway, I am tired of the same life at the Guards College."
You just want to drop out of school and skip classes, right?
Shen Muke shook his head, teasing inwardly.
"Remember to tell Sir Cyril not to worry him."
"understood."
The old Lion King looked at this scene and nodded: "Of course, you can leave Victoria at any time, Mr. Agaritu, and Victoria welcomes you and your family back at any time..."
"Don't rush to give blessings, Your Majesty the King, my conditions are not over yet." Shen Muke interrupted him and continued: "In addition to my companions and family, I also want to take away one person."
"Who?"
"Vina." Shen Muke said calmly: "I want to take Alexandrina away."
"This is absolutely not possible!" The old lion king stood up and held Wei Na in his arms. He was a little annoyed at the moment.
He can meet all of Agaritu's conditions, but only if Agaritu doesn't touch his bottom line.
For the old Lion King, his precious daughter Wei Na is his bottom line.
Why does he work so diligently to eliminate corrupt officials?Half of it is for the princess Wei Na, just so that Wei Na can sit firmly on the throne in the future.
But now Agaritu has touched his bottom line. He wants to take Vina away. What is he going to do?
Shen Muke looked at the old lion king calmly. He shook his head and turned to the beast master beside him: "Your Excellency Gawain?"
"Promise him, Charles."
what?
The old lion king looked at his teacher in astonishment, and it was difficult to understand for a moment.
However, the expression of the beast master Gawain is very calm, and his eyes are shining with determination and... some joy?
"Promise him, Charles, just do it for Vina, promise him."
For Vina?
What does this have to do with Vina?
However, the old lion king finally nodded reluctantly. The beast master Gawain would not do anything to harm Aslan. He said that Agaritu would take away Vina, so let Agaritu take it away... Although The old Lion King couldn't understand why.
Shen Muke nodded and waved to little Wei Na in the arms of the old lion king.
Little Wei Na was not afraid of strangers at all. She walked towards Shen Muke with a lollipop in her mouth, letting Shen Muke touch her hair and pinch her furry ears.
The young princess can't quite understand the adult world. Her world is very simple.
As a descendant of the Aslan family, she had stayed in the deep palace since she was a child and could not see any outsiders. This made her only listen to the words of two people.
One is his father and the other is his teacher.
