Chapter 488: Persuasion
The scene was extremely awkward and the student was still confused. Xia He said to Corleon again: "I will protect this student. I will pick him up when I can't hide it anymore. Don't want to do something like killing someone to silence him. He is a student of my college. Do you understand?"
Corleon was also in a dilemma, but this student was just a level 20 magician. The surveillance was here and he could not escape it. Keeping it confidential should be possible.
The Blood Mage said that he was not allowed to kill people, so he had to consider the consequences.
When the student heard Xia He say this, he immediately understood that he knew what he shouldn't have known and was frightened.
"Don't be afraid. If you die, there is nothing to talk about in this matter." Xia He comforted the student.
"headmaster……"
"Don't worry, the prince is not a bloodthirsty person, right, Corleon?"
Corleon thought to himself, "The Prince is not, but you are, what can I do?" He thought about it, thinking about it, and felt that it was already like this, so he could only hope that the Blood Mage would not disclose the news. Logically speaking, it should not be, because the benefits are too great. If you hide it for one more day, the Blood Mage will be able to make a lot of money.
Xia He thought for a while and said, "In addition, I was very angry that my caravan was intercepted and killed in the underground world because I was unable to transfer troops from Storm Corner for the time being, so I borrowed the prince's men and helped me revenge. There is no need to record this matter, just let's talk verbally. What do you think?"
Corleon thought it was good. The Empire knew the temper of the Blood Mage, and this excuse was too reasonable.
Other people's idea is that the Blood Mage lacks manpower and wants to capture slaves in the underground world. The whole thing is seamless.
The Blood Mage looks quite rational and keeps the students, trying to ensure that the news will not be leaked.
"Then thank you for the principal." Colleon finally changed his name and no longer called Marquis Xiahe.
The students were taken away and the two sides signed a mining agreement. The prince could lend him to Xiahe. If Xiahe wanted to expand the mining area, he had to find a way. According to this allocation agreement, 5% of the princes could be harvested by Xiahe was considered to be a big deal.
However, the agreement is also very clear. If Xia He wants to increase his manpower, he can transfer people from Storm Corner or capture people from the underground world as slave miners.
Xia He kept Su Xue and guarded the temporary Marquis' Mansion on his behalf, and obeyed everything he ordered.
Xia He really didn't want to stay here. Qiu Xuanji got something in the crack. He was in a hurry to deal with it, so he could only seal it now.
Besides, some of his resources have to be transferred to Freya, and it is meaningless to bring them with you.
Only Freya can create a lot of equipment for him and design things that are not noticed by the Taoist Palace.
It’s not like you can leave just by leaving. The prince transferred supplies to Xia He, equipped with magic deer, and had to divide chariots. Xia He still wanted one magic cannon, and he was afraid of encountering the demons in the brigade. Su Xue wanted to stay, so the strength of the entire team would drop a lot.
The magicians on the prince's side could only endure Xia He and cooperated with him with all their strength. After a day of extra time, Xia He's team retreated from the underground world.
The wind and snow outside stopped, and the students were not very interested because a student disappeared and was said to have fallen into a crack.
It was originally supposed to be a trial without damage, but there was a lack of companions.
Marquez and Elaine both blamed themselves. They had not acted with their classmates recently, but were doing tasks outside alone.
Xia He didn't persuade him, and kept marching quickly and rushed to the fortress before his heart calmed down.
If he gets any benefits in the past, something will happen immediately, and this time he is afraid of an accident.
When he arrived at the territory of the prince, Xia He still visited the fortress.
Snowvis quietly met Xia He alone. In his study, Xia He saw a magic stone placed on the table.
"Oh, this thing is really hard to wake up. Marquis of Asra, look, it is worth hundreds of gold coins in such a small piece, and there are so many buried underground, how could I not hide it?"
"Your Highness, you have a way to contact your subordinates."
"Of course, otherwise how can I control the situation? You are lucky, and my people have missed it. How do the Marquis think the best way to deal with this matter?"
"Of course, I'll hide it from it first. How many years can I hide it from it."
"What if one day it can't be hidden?"
"Your Highness, we all have half-plane people, right? Build magic towers on the half-plane, create golemies, create structural legions, and get more magic cannons. The resources are stored in the half-plane. Who dares to say anything? Anyway, the things you get won will not be spit out, and there is a land of nowhere."
"But, I'm not willing to let others participate."
"I've all participated. Can your Highness kill me to silence me?"
"Marquis, what are you kidding? You are the one who can summon the legendary fire demon." Snow thought without shy away. His implication was that if Xia He was weak, he would be dead now.
Xia Hexin said, in a few years, I will be able to legend in myself, two Taoist gods, five gods, and two disciples. Who are I afraid of? The main reason is that my legends are not affected by the will of this world, and if I force myself to be too impatient, I dare to kill ordinary people under the legend.
"Your Highness, if you really want to occupy there, just give me the benefits. I am the pioneer lord, and I have the power to occupy land outside the empire, including various mineral veins. Is this okay? Anyway, I just declare that this place is mine, and your highness can take the big head."
"How much is appropriate for me?" Snowvis asked.
"In theory, it must be 55." After Xia He said this, Snowes' murderous aura suddenly became strong.
Xia He said as if nothing had happened: "But if Your Highness occupied the territory in this name, everyone would know what was going on. In addition to being filial to Your Majesty, you also have to find a college as your backer. My college does not have that great ability, and I wonder who Your Highness can contact?"
“Metatlin and I have a good relationship.”
"Then let's divide them one more share. It's impossible for them to get the benefits in vain."
"That's all." Snowvis gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, can we still mine for a period of time in advance? This is what we can earn. When His Majesty and Metatrim are asked to endorse His Majesty and Metatrim later, we can make a while. In such a long time, how much income His Highness will have should be calculated, right?"
Snowes pondered, Xia Hedao: "To be honest, the reason why I dare to ask for a 50% stake is because I have a way to mine quickly."
"What did you say!"
"The magic rough stone cannot be mined quickly, because it is afraid of causing disaster. However, I can create a mechanical device to mine this thing, although it will lose 5% of the raw materials more than others, is it better?"
"It's only five out of ten thousand!" Snowes was excited. If the place belonged to him and no one came to disturb him, he would not be willing to lose anything. But it would be different in the underground world. If others start a war for it, he would not be able to defend it.
"Your Highness, I will not produce the drawings. I will provide the mining machinery. 40% of the income belongs to Your Majesty, and the remaining 60% of our three families will be divided equally. Your Highness may think I have more, but if you want to think about it, I will resist in front of you on the day the news leaked."
Snowes thought that this is the case. He could only mine 20% of the amount by doing nothing.
"Then let's listen to you, by the way, why don't we share the interests..."
"Don't, my machine is four or five times the normal mining speed. If you can't hide this thing, you can't kill all your subordinates and slaves, right? Your Highness, it's impossible for a person to make all the money. Besides, Your Majesty will only be interested in magic stones. There must be a lot of companion mines in it. Just divide the companion mines. It's also a great benefit."
"Very good!" Snowvis finally turned around. He could not lie to His Majesty the Emperor, nor should he deceive the Metatrian family.
The consequences are not good, but Asra was thoughtful.
When Xia He saw that he had figured it out, he felt relieved. People should not be blinded by interests, be careful not to spend money but life.
It doesn't matter if Snowvis is stupid. He also participated this time, and he might be implicated.
The mining of machinery is not a difficult task for Taoist sect. It is mainly to prevent the magical rough stone from being intensified and causing a mine disaster. The magicians have no good way to solve this problem.
As for the issue of profit distribution? Xia He is already preparing to contact Freya and let Freya create ghosts and gods and go down to steal the mining. There is no problem of magical rough stones on the jade mine. It is not afraid of explosions, and the jade is not that hard, so it can be started by any means.
After discussing with Snowes, Xia He refused to stay in this place. He told Snowes that in a month, he would have his own people sent to mining machinery and that they would be a coincidence. Now he has begun to capture slaves from the underground world. If he is willing to surrender, he can hire them directly.
Xia He simply borrowed a medium-sized airship, installed all the students, and flew back to the college.
He will continue to pay attention to the affairs of the underground world, and Snowes will not turn against him for this matter. The news leak will not benefit him from any benefits.
After returning to the college, Nicholas came to Xia He to report on the school affairs.
After hearing this patiently, Xia He made a reply one by one, and then returned to the dormitory. His dormitory had been renovated for many times, and was isolated from the inside and outside. Xia He still released a magic tent, added another insurance, and then summoned Medierli to come in together.
Xia He carried out a basin-sized egg from the badge. The egg had a black base with few white spots on it. The strangest thing was that sparse fluff was grown outside the egg shell.
At the top of the egg shell, there was a soul-suppressing talisman, which was Qiu Xuanji's handwriting.
