Des let out a sigh of relief and put a smile on his face: "Since these weapons are useful, then my investment is worth it."
He stood up, walked in front of Chris, put his hand on Chris' shoulder, and said solemnly: "There are countless contradictions in this world, and wealth and poverty are only a small and insignificant part."
Withdrawing his hand and pinching a small distance between his thumb and forefinger, Des continued: "So, no matter how rich I am, in the eyes of the mage, I am just an ant."
"The oppression and bullying of mortal countries by the Magic Empire is the most cruel and intolerable thing in the world!" When Des mentioned this matter, even his handsome face became distorted: "We are not human beings.
! They are just livestock raised in captivity, can you understand this feeling?"
"We are born in an ordinary land, and we can only bear the fate of mortals." Des stared at Chris and gritted his teeth and said word by word: "But I am not convinced! I am Des! Longtate De
Seer! I want to change the fate of mortals!"
"You gave me hope! The hope that a mortal can defeat the dragon and kill those magicians! Chris!" Des clenched his fists and asked, "What about you? Are you willing to give anything to those who call themselves gods?
Are all the magicians going to be dogs for the rest of their lives?"
"I never wanted to be a dog, Des." Chris shook his head and said, "I only know that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by a cannonball... If there is, then shoot
Two shots!"
"Hehehehe." Des looked at Chris and laughed, and the more he laughed, the more unscrupulous he became: "Hahahahaha! That's good! We don't want to be slaves and lackeys! We want to be upright people!"
"That's why I funded you! Because when I first saw you, I knew you were the same person as me!" Des said with a smile: "When you ask me, 'Invest in a country's monarch,'
How many times the profit can be made?', I knew that you and I are the same kind of people!"
He stopped smiling and looked at Chris seriously: "So, what now? I am not investing in a monarch, but to overthrow everything in this world. Are you still willing...or do you still dare to take my money?
Investment?"
Chris still didn't answer Des's words immediately. He just tapped the hilt of his sword. This was a small habit he was thinking about.
As a time traveler who wants to use industrial civilization to change the world, and as an outlier in this world, Chris naturally wants to make a difference. If he just wants to live his wealthy life mediocrely, then he doesn't need to go to all the trouble.
The artillery was manufactured schemingly.
No matter which aspect you look at it, deep down he wants to challenge the world. There is no doubt about this, so he is very interested in what Des says.
Indeed, he needs a reason, or a banner, to unite all the forces he can unite. Hegemony in this world cannot be achieved by one person. He is not one of the top strong men in the novel. Of course, there is no one
Challenge the power of order.
The power of mortals...challenge the magic empire...this is really a thrilling slogan...Chris kept weighing it in his mind, calculating the pros and cons.
Des did not urge Chris to make a decision. In his opinion, the more cautious the other party is, the better it is. What he wants to cooperate with is a cautious and capable leader, not an impulsive one.
madman.
Once this flag is raised, mortals all over the world will long for the rise of Elanthil, and once he fails, the magicians of the Magic Empire will not give him any chance to make a comeback. He will be burned to death on the flagpole with dragon's breath.
It has become a dark history that no one dares to mention.
However, even if he doesn't cooperate with Des, he will one day become an alien in the eyes of magicians: modern technological civilization will one day become a powerful enemy of magic. This is an inevitable result.
Science and technology have given humans the ability to ride the wind, transmit sounds thousands of miles, transmit patterns of influence, and travel 80,000 miles a day while sitting on the ground. These conveniences were once the privilege of magicians.
Similarly, terrible science and technology can destroy the world and destroy a city in an instant. All of this was only possible by magicians in the past!
With Chris's promotion, mortals will also master countless methods that are comparable to magic, and even more powerful than magic in some aspects. At that time, will mortals still willingly accept the slavery of magicians? Will magicians just sit back and watch?
Rise of Mortals?
Therefore, the facts are before us. Even if Chris does not go to trouble the Magic Empire, he will eventually be at odds with the Magician Group... This is a knot that must be faced sooner or later, a contradiction that cannot be compromised.
Thinking of this, Chris felt that he had no choice: on the one hand, he had to face the pressure of the Magic Empire no matter what; on the other hand, he really needed Des' financial support at the moment. So he could only work with Des.
Cooperate with you and take over the battle flag that represents the rise of mortals.
"Elanthir needs a flag... Mortals should also control their own destiny! We will never be slaves!" After thinking deeply for a while, Chris finally stopped his fingers on the hilt of the sword and said solemnly
Des said: "Alan Hill, from now on, is the hope of all mortals!"
"Happy cooperation!" The smile on Des's face became even brighter, and he bowed slightly and said: "Then, I, Longtate Des, will be your most loyal follower! His Majesty Alan Hill Chris
!”
Chris touched his nose and smiled shyly, and said sheepishly: "I'm still not used to it, someone calls me Your Majesty... Also, did you really bring all your family's money?"
"How is it possible..." Des glanced at Chris, disdainful of Chris' financial knowledge: "The 1.9 billion I mentioned is the entire Longtate family's entire property for hundreds of years, including real estate all over the world.
There are also business names, countless caravans, and the total value of the secret recipe!"
"Oh..." Chris thought Des was talking about such a large sum of cash, so he was slightly disappointed after hearing Des's words.
Seeing the other party's expression, Des suppressed his anger towards the ignorant man and explained: "Do you think I am a god? Even an empire cannot afford so many gold coins at once! I can raise them now
It’s just over one million gold coins.”
In fact, Chris doesn't know how valuable money and money are. Des is able to raise more than 1 million gold coins in just over a month, which is the best proof of the profound heritage of the Longtate family.
"It cost 250,000 to bribe Prime Minister Alant to buy you the position of Grand Duke. I will keep some to pay taxes next year... You now have about 600,000 gold coins to spend." Des decided to discord.
The country bumpkin had ordinary knowledge and directly gave Chris a rough number.
Hearing this number, Chris suddenly felt that he had become a rich man, and immediately smiled and said: "Very good! With these funds, we can immediately purchase materials and carry out faster industrialization!"
This is like a construction game player who uses secret skills. When these cheating players build cities, they have countless money, so they can ignore various business laws and directly build the buildings they need.
Chris, who has obtained Des's funds, is just like this kind of player. He can purchase the necessary raw materials as much as possible, and then build the industrial foundation of Seris City as quickly as possible.
Thinking that his wallet would shrink at an unprecedented speed, Des, who had already posted all his net worth, felt quite helpless when he met others. He held his forehead and said, "What do you want to buy...
...make a list, I brought some caravans and can help you purchase them!"
With these caravans, Chris can also dispose of some of the backlog of woodworking products and textiles in the warehouse, which can also alleviate some of his production pressure.
"The second thing..." Chris returned to his seat, and while opening the purchase list, he said to Des: "Well... you first pay... the wages I owe the workers...
…”
"I..." Des suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake. The guy in front of him was definitely not a reincarnated hero, but a very unreliable bastard. He hesitated to speak, and finally gave up the struggle.
Plan: "I'll go right away!"
…
Just when Des felt that he had bombed a nursing home in his previous life and had suffered retribution in this life before meeting Chris, in another room, the old Mr. Gurlo was looking at a pile of data with eyes wide open.
This was the first time he had seen such terrifying production capacity. A city's reserve supplies were completely consumed within a month.
Except for the steel and wood that are abundant in Seris, the rest of the raw materials have basically been exhausted, and these seemingly unrelated things have been organized together and turned into strange products one after another: mechanical equipment.
!
The production in Seris City is basically completed with the support of these equipments, and the production speed is extremely fast. It is foreseeable that as long as there are enough raw materials, Seris can continuously produce materials and flood the entire continent.
.
Gurlo has been serving the Longtate family for thirty years. In all these years, he has never seen such a production capacity that subverts people's perceptions, nor has he seen such an unreasonable rate of increase in production. He now believes that Germany
That's what Purcell said when he came to him: "The world is changing!"
