In the Grayburg living room, Roland quietly looked at the old man in front of him.
He was sitting in a wheelchair with gray hair, sunken cheeks and wrinkles on his forehead, obviously he was about to reach the end of time.
However, compared to his age, his pupils did not have much turbidity, and he still looked full of vitality. The monocles on the tip of his nose and the black bow tie between his neck further strengthened this feeling.
While Roland was looking at him, he was also looking at Roland.
After a while, Roland broke the silence and smiled and said, "It's really not easy to invite you here from the morning light."Welcome to the new capital of Gray Castle, Mr. Balihlosa, thanks all the hard way.
It is my honor to be summoned by the King of Gray Castle... The other party lowered his head slightly, but he didn't know what instructions His Majesty had to ask me for?
You have contributed a lot to Grayburg and you don't need to complete anything more.
I?He clearly showed an unexpected look. Your Majesty, have you made something wrong?
Generally, people at this age will have a sharp drop in their thinking speed, which is manifested as being speechless and intermittent. However, Barrih not only answered immediately, but also controlled the facial muscles to make a disguised expression, which is enough to prove that his brain has never stopped thinking.
His consciousness may more truly reflect his own condition than his irreversible aging.
I know you have concerns, but please don't worry, I have no malicious intentions for black money.Roland spread his hands and said, "The Messenger" who passed the news to your "God Messenger", who is also a part of Wudong.In fact, it was me who asked them to send the message.
Using Pasha's mouth, he used the reason that the transformation ceremony had reached its right time to attract Balih to the gray castle. After determining the target, he sent someone to force him to bring it back to the castle. Although this method is a bit rough, it is better to be straightforward.
Your Majesty...I don't really understand what you mean...
It doesn't matter, I will say that until you understand it, this is a very tortuous story, but it actually happened.Roland roughly told the ancient witch's past, and also explained the essence of the transformation ceremony of the Divine Punishment Army.
The soul container can only collect the consciousness of the demon-bearing person, in other words, the demon-free person can only become a body.
In a sense, becoming a body without self is also in line with the ancient witch's argument that prolongs life. If black money was just an ordinary underground chamber of commerce, he would not care too much.
However, in the battle against the Devil's Western Front Army, Black Money made great contributions, not only assisting the First Army in supporting Lang Xin and Yongdong's war zone intelligence network, but also sent out key intelligence many times, filling the gap in the witch's reconnaissance in the Red Mist Zone.
Perhaps Barrih did this not for the destiny of mankind or to save his compatriots, but this contribution is tangible.
Roland did not think that turning such a meritorious person into a puppet who lost his consciousness was a suitable reward, so he decided to meet with the other party in person.
After a long time, Balihlosa slowly took off her reading glasses and her voice trembled slightly, "What do you mean, immortality is just a scam?"
Roland sighed lightly. At present, those who can keep their age on the basis of maintaining consciousness must be the ones who possess the demons.For humans, it is a witch.
Even though he has opened up the dream world, he cannot be sensed by the soul container.
But after drinking those medicines, my body is indeed improving
Those potions cannot be said to be useless. They increase the success rate of the ritual by overdrawing vitality, but they cannot be used endlessly.Roland interrupted, shaking his head, and its side effects will soon appear, which is why I am in a hurry to find you.
Barrih was stunned for a moment, what do you mean, am I short of time?
Feel sorry.Roland regretted that I can't make the promise perfect, I can only compensate in other ways.Black money has protected the witch and made contributions to the battle of divine will. If you have anything you want, you can raise it, which is a worthy reward.
Nightingale once asked him why he didn't let Pasha and the others solve this problem by themselves. If he came forward as a king, it would be equivalent to transfer the consequences of the scam to Graycastle.
Her idea cannot be miscalculated, but Roland knew that since Grayburg accepted the Tachila witches in full, he could not only enjoy the benefits they brought, and taking the blame for them is also an obligation of acceptance.
...Balih was silent for a long time. Can you deal with it even in the morning light?
You should know my influence in the Kingdom of Morning.
Then I'll feel relieved.Unexpectedly, the other party did not despair or became hysterical, but showed a calm smile. I hope to live longer, to save the industry of black money for the children. If I die, other noble merchants will never miss the opportunity to divide it up, and in the face of large enough interests, life is insignificant.If Your Majesty is willing to intervene, I think no one dares to act rashly, which is even more reliable than my personal immortality.If that's the case, what else can I complain about?
Roland pondered for a while, are you sure this is the reward you want?
Your Majesty, isn't it...can't it?
Not that it can't be done.He paused, I wonder if you have ever heard of the name Rainbow Stone?
I heard about it, and Barrih thought about it. It seemed that it was a new clothing store in your country. It was made in large scale and some finished products were sold to Chenxi. But I am bluntly speaking, it is far inferior to us in terms of style and design.
Because the craftsmen Victor looked for were all Ah from the Lothar family... and he didn't tell you that in Wudong City, such clothes are only one-tenth of the price of other hand-woven clothing.
Roland coughed twice. As far as I know, the founder behind this garment store is Victor Rosa, who is your fourth son.In addition, the revenue of the Yishang Store has exceeded 10,000 Golden Dragons so far.With this talent, I think even without Gray Castle as a backer, he would not lose to those merchant families easily.
Ten thousand golden dragons are definitely not a small number. In the past, Wudong, only Chaos drinks could exceed this number. The reason is very simple. Not everyone needs drinks, but everyone has to wear clothes.
With the high concentration of winter-free populations, the scale of basic demand will only further expand.
In the face of the foreseeable profits of large industrial production, the transaction volume of the underground chamber of commerce is not worth mentioning at all.
This time, Barrih really showed a look of surprise. Your Majesty, is what you said... true?He has rarely contacted me since he left Glow City... I thought he was still in the jewelry business in the past...
Victor is in Wudong now, and it is not difficult for you to see him. It is better to verify whether it is true or false.But... I have to hurry up.
Yes...I get it.Barrih could no longer help but grab the wheel, and this action obviously exposed the thoughts in his heart.
Please allow me to sue, Your Majesty.
Roland nodded and was about to ask his personal guard to send him out, he suddenly said, "You said I have very little time left... Can I spend my last moment on that floating island?"
… Roland closed his eyes, if you wished.
After the door was closed, Nightingale appeared and muttered in a low voice, strange...
What's wrong?
His reaction at the beginning was a bit strange, and he couldn't say it was a lie, but the magic gave me a very vague feeling and was not as calm as he acted.The nightingale shrugged.
So that's it, Roland thought.
Do you know the reason?
perhaps.He slowed down his voice and turned his head to look out the window. Things like Changsheng are always full of temptation. If the expectations are disappointed, no one will accept them easily.
But that's not a lie.The nightingale emphasized.
Because he knew that no matter what he did, he could not change this result.Roland was quite emotional. Since it could not be changed, it was necessary to accept that instead of making enemies with the King of Graycastle with resentment, it was better to pretend to be open-minded and gain favor. Any unnecessary emotions would become sunk costs. This is probably what he thought.There are many people who understand this, but few of them can really do it... This is what makes him amazing.
He understood a little that the reason why these big merchants would be treated as nobles in the morning light was because of their ability to control and stop loss awareness, and even if they were in politics, they could surpass most nobles.
But you said this, Roland couldn't help but look at the Nightingale. Now he can not only distinguish the authenticity, but even his inner emotions can be felt. Are you about to evolve?
Do you think I will deliberately not say it or say it, and still be so humble after I evolved?Nightingale glanced at him angrily.
Well, it makes sense.
Roland shut his mouth tactfully.
He was sitting in a wheelchair with gray hair, sunken cheeks and wrinkles on his forehead, obviously he was about to reach the end of time.
However, compared to his age, his pupils did not have much turbidity, and he still looked full of vitality. The monocles on the tip of his nose and the black bow tie between his neck further strengthened this feeling.
