Chapter 58: The tiger is gone, the wolf is gone
"Since we've all talked about this!" Alni seemed to have made up her mind. "It's all smart people, and it's meaningless to go around the corner. None of us can deceive anyone, so we'll save trouble just by hunching it."
"Okay." I clapped my hands: "Since you said that, it's not easy for us to circle around you anymore. We know the situation on both sides, and I know your purpose."
"Then President Zi Ri talks about the current situation, so I can confirm that there are no omissions."
To put it bluntly, this Arni is still playing with ghosts, but I don’t want to care about this kind of small thing with her. “The situation is obvious. The Temple of Darkness, Temple of Light, Heavenly Court, and China’s demon world, four major forces control part of China’s power, and they have cross-sections. Among them, Heavenly Court and monsters are hostile, and you are hostile to the Temple of Light. The forces of all directions are very strong, and I don’t deny this, at least it will be no problem to destroy me, but my identity is very subtle. All directions and I have friendships, and you are hostile to each other, which means that either side of you lacks a kind of transcendence.
The attitude, and this is exactly my advantage. No matter who you wins the final victory, I will not be affected, so I am transcendent. These conditions determine that I will definitely become your middleman, and no one in all directions will be able to live without me. More importantly, the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm and me is trapped, so this system has been half completed. If you want to join, you must follow my rules. If you don’t join, you will offend the Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm and all the intermediate forces at the same time. "I looked at Arni's face with complicated expression and then said, "That's the case, I didn't say anything wrong, right?"
Arni nodded: "It's very accurate. Based on this situation, how do you plan to arrange your future actions?"
I smiled and patted Rose's waist. Rose immediately began to say, "Actually, the situation is very simple. The identity of the middleman requires that our fair position system be complete, but everyone is playing power. I'll be more blunt. There is no perfect thing in the world, and there will definitely be no perfect balance. Selfishness is the common wish of everyone. The key is whether you harm the interests of others while benefiting yourself. Although we want to maintain balance, the Dark Temple and we are always in friendship. Through various channels, our relationship is probably the closest of all directions."
Arni's expression on her face looked much better when she heard this. "Since that's the case, are you going to tilt us?"
"Tilt is inevitable, but the premise is that it does not affect the balance. At this stage, everyone's conflicts are not very fierce, and there will not be too many head-on conflicts. I can only maintain freedom and take on all tasks. If this task hurts the interests of third parties, we will appropriately control the loss. In terms of the losses to the Dark Temple, we try to keep it at a low level. This is the highest guarantee that our guild can do. If Goddess Alni wants to join another film to ask for benefits, we don't mind, but please defeat the other three parties first. If you can't do it, then don't say anything."
The current situation is like four people tug of war. The rope of the tug of war is cross-shaped. Any party pulls the center point toward itself will inevitably push the other three parties together, so unless one party is strong enough to pull the other three parties away, don't expect to control the situation. The real skill of using land in this kind of competition is to compete for endurance rather than to fight with all your strength as soon as it comes. Only by dragging the other three parties down will you have a chance.
Arni thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean. The Temple of Darkness will not forget everything you have done. But I have another request."
"Request?" I was very surprised. I said that she understood so much, why did she still have requirements!"
"You are going to rebuild Aisinger."
"Reconstructing Aisinger?" Why is this request so strange! "Hasn't Aisinger been reconstructed? What else should I reconstruct?"
"Didn't I say it at the beginning? Your current Aisinger is completely different from the real Aisinger. Our Dark Temple needs the original Aisinger to make up for the defective part of the magic circle."
"Can't you rebuild it yourself? At worst, I can move this Aisinger to somewhere else."
"It's not just a matter of location." Arni said: "Although your location is necessary, the name and status of the city are also necessary. The name can be changed, but the status cannot be changed! You have the background of the magic capital of Aisinger. Even if we rebuild a city called Aisinger in its original location, it is just a city called Aisinger, and it will never become a magic capital."
"Then do you mean we want to rebuild an Aisinger?" Rose asked.
Arni nodded: "I know it is really a waste for you to ask you to build two cities in the same location, but we really need such an Aisinger to be erected in its original location."
Eagle couldn't help but say, "You need it but we don't need it! We will restore the original Aisinger, and we won't talk about the cost. What should I do now? Will I change my name? It will cost the city level. We finally got promoted to a strategic fortress. Such a troublesome status is not so easy to get back."
"But...!" Arni wanted to explain.
"It's not impossible to rebuild it." I suddenly said something that made everyone around me stunned. Except for Rose, Sumei, Xiaoyao and the others all looked at me in a daze.
"Did you agree to rebuild?" Alni asked in surprise.
I reached out to stop her from being happy. "Don't be happy first. There are conditions for rebuilding."
"You don't have to worry about this." Alni said cheerfully: "We take care of all the building materials, and we are responsible for transportation. You can just build them. We bear half of the labor costs. After all, you only pay half of the labor costs in a city in Bailuo, and you don't even need construction materials. Isn't that an excessive amount?"
"It's not just a matter of materials and money." I shook my head and said, "First of all, you have to think of a way to transfer the city attributes. Under the registered name of Aisinger, our level is already very high. We cannot turn this level into zero for you. Moreover, this kind of thing is not so easy to accumulate. Once it is returned to zero, it will be a problem whether it can be made up for it. Another problem is the problem of special buildings. We cannot do the magic equipment of the Spirit Gathering Tower. You must be responsible for helping to restore the Spirit Gathering Tower and various magic arrays."
Alni seemed to have been prepared, and he said without considering it, "The city level is easy to deal with. Now this Aisinger doesn't need to change his name."
"Oh? Is there such a good way? Let's hear it."
"It's actually very simple. You move this Aisinger to the correct position of the original Aisinger, then raise the city, and then rebuild Aisinger below. When building the site, you apply to expand the city and do not open a new city. In this way, the restoration of Aisinger below will become the real Aisinger. From then on, these two seemingly completely independent cities have become a common city. The one on the ground that cannot move is called Aisinger Old Town. The one who can fly is Aisinger New District. How about it? Is this a solution okay?"
"Is this OK? Will Creation Star allow such responsible urban structures?"
"Absolutely." Arni took out a small black crystal ball. "There is a complete set of drawings in this space crystal. There was originally a type of city in China, but it was more exaggerated than what I said. The drawings in this crystal are the original design drawings of the city. Many people wanted this thing but I didn't give it to me. If you agree to rebuild Aisinger, I will give you this as a reward. As for the issue of the Spirit Gathering Tower you mentioned, we will naturally send someone to help. You don't have to worry about these things."
Rose suddenly added: "Building can be built, but on the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of your magic array, other designs must be decided by us. Also, it is not enough for you to pay the labor costs. We are not short of money here, but we don't have enough manpower."
"There is not enough staff?" Arni was also very curious about our needs.
Rose explained: "Our guild has just won Indonesia recently. Although most of the cities have been sold to other guilds, we have left several big cities ourselves. Now the construction workers are there. There is really no one to build here. And you also know that Aisinger is not a small fishing village. It is bigger than ten cities, and it also has dungeons. The construction volume is not something we can afford. If you don't work, then don't be impatient if we have been working for ten or eight years." Rose is a naked blackmail, but it is just right to use this trick now.
When Arni heard that he had to build for ten or eight years, he was immediately anxious. "Isn't it okay for me to transfer all the laborers and troops in the Dark Temple to help?"
"How many of you have?"
"2 million regular workers, 80,000 technicians, 5 million troops." Alni said: "I can only send so many people, and I need people elsewhere! I can't pull everyone away, right?"
"Enough is enough." I smiled and said, "Those are enough." The construction of things in the game is fast, and with so many workers working together, it probably takes less than 10 days to complete it. Now, we can assemble this Aisinger within three days?
Arni asked, "How long will it take for you to have so many workers?"
I thought about it and said, "After the materials and personnel are in place, it can be as low as 10 days and as high as one month."
Arni nodded: "Well, the progress is almost the same." She handed me the crystal ball and said: "I will send out material and personnel tomorrow. I will be here the day after tomorrow. I hope you can get there as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. Use people's money and eliminate disasters, ah... I said it wrong. It's done what I said!"
Ying smiled at me in private chat and said, "Haha! Have you brought out your professional habits?"
"Go, I'm not just a bandit for the development of the guild."
"Since the matter has been finalized, I will go back and make arrangements first." Arni was very anxious about the plan, so she ran back in a hurry.
After seeing off Arnie, I returned to the conference room and I was paralyzed on the throne I brought back from Dragon Island. "Huh! I finally left."
"I'm scared to death." Su Mei and Xiao Yao also sighed from the side.
Rose sat on my lap and said, "How is it? How are the three of us singing this opera?"
"Great." I lit the rose's nose and said, "Arni was planning to get some benefits today, but she didn't expect that you three came out to be very tactful with her and forced her plan into a pot of porridge."
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That's right, Alni's face turned green."
Ying also said, "Maybe she is scolding you now."
"Haha! Are you willing to get the benefits and be scolded by her or are you willing to give her benefits and then scold her?"
Ying immediately said: "Of course I was scolded for the benefits. She scolded her, but I didn't hurt or itchy, so it was more affordable to get the benefits." Ying's words caused a burst of laughter, and she really made a profit this time.
In fact, even if Alni doesn't come, I plan to rebuild a new Aisinger in the original Aisinger location. Now, because this Aisinger can be moved, the original location needs a new city to be used as the main city of the guild, and then I will enter the fortress in the future. Alni happened to be with my plan this time. With her, I saved a lot of money and could build a large city. The only thing I need to accommodate the Dark Temple is to create the original magic circle. No matter how I calculate it, I will take advantage of it.
Everyone was laughing and thrilling that the big pot rice suddenly rolled and crawled into the conference room. "No, no, the tsunami... the tsunami is coming..."
"What?"
"Oh!"
I was so shocked when I heard the news. I suddenly stood up. Rose sitting on my lap didn't expect me to suddenly stand up and ended up falling to the ground by me.
"Slow down, what happened? Explain it clearly." Rose couldn't control the pain in her butt, and asked while getting up from the ground.
"Tsunami." Daguori pointed to the direction of the sea and said, "A super tsunami appeared in the direction of the sea. The waves were almost 200 meters high, and we would be here in ten minutes."
The eagle said excitedly, "What are you still standing there? Order the city to rise above the clouds."
While digging out the leaves of the City Tree, I said, "Let's just let the City Tree start operating!"
At this time, Aisinger was stopping at the beach where Aisinger was, half in the sea and half on the shore. Now if this wave comes, with Aisinger's firmness, it will probably not be too much damage. However, it is always dangerous to be attacked by such a large wave, so it is better to avoid it.
A harsh alarm sounded inside Aisinger instantly. "Warning, due to emergencies, the city needs to rise urgently. During this period, a brief sense of overweight will appear. Please be prepared to fight the overload. Now enter the countdown to ten seconds."
When the countdown ended, Aisinger shook and began to rise slowly. Because the city is of great quality, we dare not make the acceleration too large, otherwise the load on the load-bearing parts would be too high. As the city continues to rise, the bottom of the city finally broke away from the water surface, and the bottom armor below the city is still dripping water down, and some grooves are like small waterfalls.
The bottom armor is not closed when the city is in the sea because the tracks are always supporting the city forward on the seabed. The advantage of multiple tracks is that we can maintain the city balance by adjusting the length of each track support frame. No matter how uneven the ground is, the city does not need to undulate with the ground while moving. This design was originally designed to ensure the stability of the city. If the city moves up and down like a car, how can it work inside!
As the city rises, those crawler support frames are slowly entering the city. Since the length of expansion and contraction is different, the speeds of the return are now different. These support frames have pressure feedback devices. Although they are pressure sensors made of pure mechanical principles, the effect is similar to electronic instruments. These things are responsible for feeling the pressure under each support frame. When the ground is uneven, the support frame will exceed the average pressure, and then it will automatically shorten the length until the pressure is balanced. Relying on this principle, we don’t have to calculate the height and undulation of the ground at all. The pressure from the ground will automatically maintain the balance of the city.
When the last support frame is recycled, all external armor plates begin to close internally at the same time. After the tenon and ground armor modules are clenched, they are locked by the locking device. The water in the cabin is jetted outward along the dedicated drainage pipe. The speed of the city rising ground gradually accelerates, but the acceleration remains stable. Although the waves of the tsunami are only 200 meters high, the air waves driven by sea water will affect the high sky, so we have been lifting the city to the clouds before it stabilizes. The stratosphere should not be affected by the convection of the air at the bottom.
I stood at the bottom of Aisinger and looked at the situation below. Although it was on the clouds, because there were no clouds, the ground could also be seen clearly. The global climate change caused by the Qiankun Gourd has begun to show its power. I didn't expect that the first one to suffer was us. From me, we can already see the white waves on the sea surface. The 200-meter-high huge waves here look like white strips, but if you compare the trees on the land, you will understand how huge they are.
The waves formed a wall of water and rushed towards the dark side. We could hear the rumbling sound rolling forward at such a high place. After activating the star pupils, I could see that there were almost a lot of broken wood pieces and other things in the waves.
"What is that?" Rose and the others also saw those things in their telescopes.
I immediately saw the things clearly after magnifying the magnification. "It was a fragment of the ship, and it seemed to be a corpse."
Rose immediately shouted: "It's not Tianmen Island, right?"
"Oh no!" I suddenly remembered that if this wave came from the sea, it must have passed by Tianmen Island, and it was a big trouble now.
"Don't worry, Tianmen Island is fine." Daguo Mi said with a relaxed look on her face.
"How did you know?"
Big pot rice said for granted: "The news that the tsunami has arrived is the news that was sent back through the crystal communication machine there."
"How are they? Didn't the tsunami pass by their place?"
"It's passed." Daguo Mi said: "In fact, this tsunami was not initiated by us. It was generated from the Pacific Ocean."
Eagle said: "Nonsense, the Pacific Ocean and us are still blocking Japan!"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Daguofan explained: "This is the news from Tianmen Island and the Japanese lurking Lingyuan Chuan and others. The tsunami attacked Japan after it was generated in the Pacific Ocean. I had never seen such a big wave before. After the tsunami rushed to the shore, it did not stop at all. After it landed on the east coast of Japan, it crossed the entire Japan and then entered the sea on the west coast to rush towards China. Lingyuan Chuan and their communication machine were destroyed by the waves and it was only repaired just now. It was too late when they informed Tianmen Island, and the tsunami had arrived at Tianmen Island. Guess what happened later?"
We shook our heads together: "How can we guess this? Tell me quickly!"
"Hehe, tell you. The tsunami took a detour at that time."
"detour?"
"Well, it's a detour. Isn't Tianmen Island inside the storm belt? But because of Biling's remains, there is no wind or wave outside Tianmen Island, and everyone knows this. But what you didn't expect is that Biling actually blocked the tsunami. After the tsunami waves arrived at the windless wave area outside Tianmen Island, it was like a cover, and they all rushed over from both sides separately. There was water everywhere around, but Tianmen Island came safely."
"Thank you so much for Biling! The super divine beast is indeed extraordinary." Rose sighed.
Su Mei suddenly said, "This wave is so big that it is over Japan. Isn't Japan finished?"
To be continued...
