Chapter 516, The Emperor's Way Year Celebration! (3/3)
"Two months!"
Lovett narrowed his eyes and spoke in a protracted tone, which made Qing Zhi's heart skip a beat.
"Okay, I'll give you three months."
"Huh? Why?"
Qing Pheasant raised his head in confusion.
I saw Lovett raising his left hand that was not holding the wine glass. Aka took out a drawing from his arms and held it up with both hands.
“I like the design style very much, but the exterior wall is a little too clean.”
"Carve it according to the pattern on it. The silver should be enough. If it is not enough, I will arrange for someone to prepare it."
The corners of Qing Pheasant's mouth twitched, how much silver would it cost?
Such a large building must be measured in tons!
When the drawings were opened, it turned out that as expected, the complex pattern almost covered the entire lighthouse. Even the interior was the same. All the entrances, corridors, stairs, and lounges had to be redone.
However, compared with the Golden Emperor's Golden City, Qingji felt that this was not a big deal.
The gold in the Golden City is also hard to count, and silver is cheaper in comparison.
Today's Auroville...
"I'm afraid the most indispensable thing is money."
Although he is still not as rich as Tezzolo, the Black Earl controls more than 70 national governments in the first and second half of the period, and the tax revenue alone every quarter is an astronomical amount.
On the other hand, Tezzolo is rather embarrassed.
Although he has money, the golden fruit cannot come from nothing. His money comes from opening the business.
As for his business, the royal families and nobles of these countries are the mainstream.
Therefore, the Golden Emperor was never won over by the Five Old Stars, because the Black Earl and Kaido strangled his economic lifeline in disguise, and he was the least likely to rebel.
After finishing his random thoughts, Qing Zhi nodded: "Understood!"
Then he said: "Sir, I have a gracious request."
"oh?"
Lovett took a sip of wine and raised his chin: "Go ahead."
"yes!"
Aokiji tightened his grip on the drawing and said, "I want to send someone to rescue the red-haired people... no, the people in distress in the Springhall sea area."
"Not everyone who resists you does so voluntarily. Many affected people have no choice but to go to the battlefield."
As a romantic, Shanks is also a group of romantic fanatics.
Obviously the captain had issued an order not to make an enemy of the Black Earl, but the red-haired cadres headed by Jesus Bu and others were still reluctant to leave and ambushed the undead army many times.
The same goes for the beasts. As outsiders, they were launched as guerrillas in the other's territory, which made everyone miserable.
This is also an important reason why they can't free up their hands to incorporate Whitebeard's territory.
"Be bold!"
In response to this request, Aka suddenly tightened his pupils. The demonic black pupil in the center of the gray-white pupils made people's scalp numb and murderous intent overflowed from his body.
"Mind your identity, Kuzan!"
Now that he has joined Auroville, Lovett has the final say in everything.
Those who dare to resist the undead army are naturally enemies.
The enemy must die!
The undead's point of view is so straightforward.
The terrifying murderous intention made Aokiji's body covered with goosebumps, but he did not give in and looked straight at Lovett.
He knew that this man who looked dozens of years younger than him was the real ruler of the City of Auroville.
The surge of murderous intent made both the undead and the living tremble in the distance. Some slender black hair had already appeared on Aka's back. As long as Lovett said "no", he would rush forward and kill the blue pheasant.
but……
"Okay! I agree."
Hearing this, although Aka was confused, he put away his murderous intention and stood calmly behind Lovett with his head lowered.
Under Aokiji's relieved gaze, Lovett looked up at the huge main body of the lighthouse and said, "Let Ain and Xiu Zuo go."
"yes!"
"But you have to remind them that they and they only have one chance to choose."
Lovett said casually: "In Auroville, the living and the dead don't matter. The only criterion is loyalty. Do you understand?"
The two "only" made Qing Zhi realize the seriousness of the problem. Hearing this, he nodded solemnly: "Understood!"
"Well, let's go then."
Watching Qing Pheasant walk away, Aka couldn't help but said: "Master, since those guys dare to resist once, there will definitely be dishonest people who survive."
"I know, but that's exactly what I want."
Instructing him to refill his glass, Lovett used his cane to look into the distance and smiled slightly: "The living are different from the dead. They have many ideas, but one thing remains unchanged."
Aka bowed and listened.
"Selfish!"
Lovett said with a smile: "The policies I implement to benefit the people are not only to appease people's hearts, but also to create a virtuous circle in the atmosphere of Auroville."
"Driven by selfishness, everyone will fight for their own interests."
"If someone jumps out at this moment and says, come with me, gun in hand, throw away your hard-earned golden job, and put your head in your belt, what do you think they will do?"
"They... will share their hatred with the enemy and suppress the troublemakers."
Aka's eyes lit up: "Master is brilliant!"
And once people fight for the same goal, they will develop a sense of belonging.
Look, the good life today is the result of our struggle!
This creates a sense of belonging to the City of Auroville and truly forms a country and an order.
"So even if Qing Pheasant doesn't bring it up, the master will let him realize his justice today."
"yes."
Lovett shook his head and took a sip from his wine glass.
"But this must be based on strength. Without a strong military as a backing, this kind of behavior is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house and adding fuel to the fire."
Aka smiled: "Just like the Shichibukai."
"It's also like... Wano Country."
Lovett turned around and looked at the undead running over there.
The unlucky boy of the bodyguard was struck half dead by a thunderbolt from Im, and is still recovering from his injuries. Wallace has also become a blood prison knife, and Aka must follow him as a butler.
As Auroville gradually gets on the right track, some things are naturally assigned to the subordinates.
The "Twelve Cursed Spirits" are officials selected from the transformed undead and summoned undead to assist the Black Knight in managing the City of Dawn.
At this moment, Brod, the leader of the Twelve Cursed Spirits, ran towards Lovett in a hurry.
"Master, I have contact from Kaido."
"Well, what's the matter?"
Lovett was not surprised by this. Through Skynet, he had heard the chat between Broad and the other party.
In fact, Lovett can be told this directly on the spot, but life must have a sense of ritual, and Broad will not let go of this opportunity to brush his face in front of Lovett.
Hearing this, he quickly answered.
"Kaido invites you, my master, to participate in Wano Country's New Year's celebration next year. He said that recent events have made everyone look bad, so he invites you to come over and have a drink."
Of course Leviathan has never collided head-on with Jack, otherwise...it would probably have become a mask on the ship by now, "Drought" Jack.
But the dark cloud of conflict has appeared from the beginning, and there are countless people on the sea waiting for both sides to break up and fish in troubled waters.
"New Year's celebration?"
Lovett couldn't help but count the hours.
Unknowingly, the year 1520, the turning point of fate, was about to pass.
"Master, I'm afraid Kaido has no good intentions."
Aka reminded.
Lovett smiled: "Of course, but don't worry about it for now."
"He's not that stupid."
Aka thinks about it, whoever thinks Kaido is a fool is the fool. This invitation must have another purpose. The most unlikely thing is to join forces with the government to invite Kaido to the urn.
So he nodded and turned around to make arrangements.
Leviathan is not here, so the master must not be careless about traveling.
