Chapter 362 Employees
Li nodded and pursued freedom. This is a good saying, but for the empire, this is not a reason for rebellion. Theoretically, no matter how mediocre, incompetent, how incompetent and cruel they are, the empire will not interfere and still recognize their authority.
Slavery itself is not the consul's mistake. On the contrary, it is the consul's right.
But these are the practices of the empire, not Li.
Lee asked some more questions, some about slavery, some about life, and more about the woman Daenerys and Greyjoy.
Hei Redding told Li everything he knew in detail, but even the king of pirates, he heard mostly some absurd rumors. The communication in the world was still very primitive. When the news spread from one island to another, it had already completely changed.
"It seems that it's not good to rely on rumors. Sure enough, I still have to see these two people with my own eyes," Li looked at Hai Redding and said in shorthand, "Maybe you can help me with this. As my guide on this planet, I can avoid some troubles and see the real world with my own eyes. "
"You can't force me," Hereddin sat up straight and said in a low voice, "I'm a free pirate!"
"Force you? Oh, no, it's not forcing you. It's just a deal," Li said with a smile. "I can give you something you dream of, maybe something good that you can't even dream of. What do you want? Wealth, power, power? I can give it to you."
"Demon, how can you be so arrogant! How dare you be so arrogant before a guardian knight. It's just a little witchcraft. I'm a guardian knight!" When the old knight heard Li talking about the word transaction, he had defined the sudden appearance of Li as a demon creature. He shouted loudly, and at the same time, the strong light flashed in his body. In an instant, the old knight shone like a human-shaped light bulb, and the golden light surrounded him. The bright and sacred power began to burn in his body. Li's psionic rune was crushed at the moment of contact with the light. This power was so powerful and pure that it rejected all psionic powers and shattered any power different from this light.
Li was slightly shocked. Although he rarely saw this force and had almost never fought with this power, he clearly knew where the power came from.
This is the power of the state religion. Priests call it holy power, which comes from people's belief in the holy emperor. At first, Li felt that this statement was too ridiculous. In his mind, the holy emperor is just a powerful person. He is wise and powerful, but after all, it is still A person, of course, is absolutely special than ordinary people. But it's too much to say that the emperor is a god. But Li understands what the Holy See does. Who wants ordinary people to believe this? People are always vulnerable. They need something to believe, and from a strategic point of view, if we don't occupy a position, it will be occupied by the enemy. In this case, instead of letting them believe in those strange evil gods and those messy gods, it is better to let the holy emperor unify his faith and completely occupy the religious position.
And the empire spent an extremely dark day in Li's sleep, almost falling apart. At this time, it really needs a spiritual core to unite all mankind. No one is more suitable for becoming a god than the divine emperor.
In Li's opinion, this is a good thing. For anyone, it is always good to have a healthy religious belief, because a good religion always teaches people to be self-reliant and upward, and it can also comfort people. But things should not be too much, just like people who believe in Christianity. It is naturally good to follow the teachings and be a good person who is kind to others and look at the world with a grateful heart. But if you say that the god whispers to you in your ear, and you can feel the power given to you by the god, it's a little nonsense.
In fact, it was nonsense before Robert woke up, but now, things seem to have become a little different.
The holy power used by the Holy See to fool those rural fools actually exists from a certain point of view. Priests and nuns are good at fighting with this power.
Li has never fought head-to-head with the nuns. He once asked Pastor Martin of the regiment to have a try on the training ground, but Martin did not agree. In Pastor Martin's opinion, although this kind of behavior is not blasphemy, it is definitely a kind of disrespect. The power given by the holy emperor is to fight against the enemy and save friendly troops. It's not for people to perform and see.
And now, Li Jian has recognized this power, magnificent, pure, holy, and truly powerful. The flashing golden light easily smashed the runes that Li used to suppress the old knight. Then the old knight suddenly stood up, turned over the table with a palm, and drew his sword in his hand, and was about to cut at Li. At the same time, Hailedding suddenly exerted his strength, smashed the wooden chair under his buttocks, fell to the ground, and retreated far away. Open to the corner.
Hyredin is not a good person. Although he is strong, he is a pure pirate in his bones. He will try his best to avoid battles that lack interests. Nowadays, the situation is unclear. He knows very little about which side. At this time, he just retreats aside and let the two of them fight enough to see how things will develop. .
But just like the dragon and tiger fight that Hai Redding expected did not happen. The whole battle did not seem to have begun, and it was over. Li just turned slightly sideways, let the wooden table flying into the sky and the long sword cut by the old knight, and then gently patted the old knight on the back with his hand, and at the same time, Gou, the old knight fell to the ground with the heavy armor on his body, and then Li quickly followed him. He shot with one leg like a kick, and swung his leg at the old knight's head. It seemed that the foot was very fierce, but it did not use too much strength. It just rubbed the old knight's temple with the outer instep. The violent vibration made the old man with golden light faint in an instant, and then the golden light on the old knight's body was extinguished.
"I'm not a demon. Forget it, you can't hear it." Li said this and turned around, and just behind him, the wooden table flying into the sky seemed to be held by an invisible hand. He turned around a few times, and then slowly flew to the place. Li sat on the chair again and made a gesture to Hai Reading, "Hai Reading, there is no one to make trouble this time. Let's continue with the topic just now.
At this moment, the pirate king Babarosa was rampant on the sea. Hei Redding almost wanted to turn around and open the door and escape far away. The strange young man in front of him put too much pressure on him, which made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart, but reason made him not do so.
He knows very well that he can't escape. This self-proclaimed Li has unpredictable ability. He can't stand himself and the knight with only his eyes. He easily controls the wooden table flying in the air. These strange abilities clearly show the identity of the other party. There is no doubt that he is a devil. Wu's powerful mage is the most powerful one. I'm afraid that even the president of the mage association is not the opponent of this person. An inner ring mage of the mage association, such a powerful existence, just fainted in the eyes of this young man, and it was cultivated with great painstaking efforts in the Holy See. Secret weapons, powerful guardian knights who are proficient in various fighting skills and killing methods, and the nemesis and killers of all mages didn't survive even a second in front of this man. The old knight rushed over and cut off with a sword, and was easily knocked to the ground by the other party, and then fainted with one foot.
This person has a more powerful spiritual secret than the mage, and also has a stronger fighting ability than the guardian knight. Is such a person still a person?
Is it a monster?
Haireddin suppressed the panic in his heart and let himself look at this matter rationally, and then he saw the benefits in it. Yes, there are countless benefits, because this monster obviously just wants to talk about it. Since it is talking about it, there is room for bargaining. Even if the other party is really a demon, as long as the price is right, what can't be discussed?
Yes, this is the biggest crisis in my life, but in the same way, this will be the biggest opportunity in my life. In an instant, Haireddin adjusted his mentality and pushed James, who was already completely dull, aside. After sitting down, he said, "James, bring us two more butter beers. So, er, Mr. Li, what do you think you can give me, wealth, power, strength and so on, what do I need to pay? The soul?"
"Ha ha, let's avoid such a temptation," Li said with a smile, "I can tell you clearly that you are mistaken. I'm really not a demon. Although those lines are indeed used by demons to seduce human beings, this is just a misunderstanding. I just need you to help me. Here, er, eh, one One year, at most, help me within a year, follow my orders, and then after a year, you will be completely free, and I will give you what you want. Think about what you want. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Can you do anything?"
"You can talk about what you want first. I'll see if I can do it for you, but for your wishes, I rarely can't do it."
"Is it okay to go to the moon?"
"Is this your wish? Are you sure?"
"Can this also be done? Wait a minute, I'll think about it." Haireddin, like an excited child, is now in meditation. James whispered anxiously beside him, "I want gold, a lot of gold for a long time."
"Stupid, what's the use of asking for gold at this time? I know what I want. I want a ship, the fastest ship in the world, a ship that no one can catch. By the way, this ship can also take me to the bottom of the sea. I want this ship to sail under the sea.
"My captain," James covered his forehead in pain and said sadly, "What on earth are you thinking? I think you are usually normal. Why did you become like this at the critical moment? Isn't the ship sinking when it reaches the bottom of the sea? How can I sail?"
"It's not difficult. If you satisfy me, it's very simple to do it."
"What!" Hei Redding and James shouted loudly at the same time, "Can you really do it?"
"Actually speaking, it's really not difficult to do this. In 20 years, there should be many such ships on this planet." After all, the islands of this planet are limited, and the real treasures are hidden under the blue sea. If Li wants to open the planet, he must not ignore the interests of the sea. If he wants to open the resources under the sea, submarines are indispensable.
"What kind of magic is this? You really don't want my soul?"
"No, I will give you a beautiful ship that you can't imagine. This ship can take you to sail above the sea and freely under the sea. Of course, if you want a ship, then you will be my captain in the future."
"What do you mean? Didn't you say I was completely free?"
"No, no, no, you made a mistake. Freedom is never absolute," Li said seriously, "And you also misunderstood. I don't want to restrain you, but if I give you such a good ship, then I naturally don't want you to drive this ship to continue your pirate business. That's really It's a waste. You will have the first and most special ship in the world. For the world, this is definitely a cross-generational ship, and you drive this ship to continue your piracy career. This is really a huge waste. I can't allow this to happen. You will be my captain. I will have someone contact you regularly and assign you some tasks. You just need to complete the task for me.
"Be your slave forever and follow your orders?"
"To be precise, this is an employee relationship. You are a free man. In addition to some necessary terms, I will never interfere with you. And it's too early to say this. After all, if I really give you a submarine, you need to learn a lot, and without me, you can't afford to keep a submarine. Without maintenance, just oil can make you cry. Do you know how expensive the oil price is now? Do you know how expensive the oil price is? And the price has been rising, and the price has been rising! The mechanical god religion is a group of monopolistic beasts!" After having an inexplicable temper, Li said, "In a word, that's it. I'll give you what you want, and you're satisfied."
"I said Haireddin," James stood aside and said, "Did we pick up a magic lamp elf? I'm not dreaming, is there such a good thing in the world?"
"Who knows?" Hei Redding's face was full of struggles, and he was hesitating. "You won't lie to me, will you?"
"What do you think?" Li asked, "Is it necessary for me to lie to you?"
There is no need at all. Hei Redding, a strong man, has never heard of it. As long as the other party is willing, he can take the lives of everyone present at any time. Such a powerful person should not deceive people.
"Maybe the emperor has also begun to bless us." Haileting gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said, "We'll make a deal." Then he stretched out his hand and put it in mid-air.
Li was stunned and then understood, "Is this a high-five after the successful transaction? How many times are you here?"
"Three times."
Pup! Pa! Pa! The palms of the two were hit three times in the air. Hailedding sighed and said, "So now you are the boss of the Sea Snake Legion. James, I'm going to work for this year, Lord Li." After Hai Redding finished speaking, he looked at Li, who was unresponsive, doubtfully and asked, "Isn't it okay not to call you master?"
"No problem, you just work for me, not a slave. The current name is fine.
"So, Lord Li, what are we going to do next?"
"Don't be nervous. Let's just sit here and drink and chat," Li said casually. "We have plenty of time. Let me know the preacher and the Holy See first."
Like all the worlds, there is also a Holy See that believes in the Emperor in this world. It is said that thousands of years ago, the Holy See was the largest religion and the largest power on the planet. Even the Greyjoy family could not be compared, because at that time, the Holy See was still related to the gods in heaven. At that time In the meantime, there are often saints coming from the sky - saying that here, Haileddin was suddenly shocked. He looked at James standing beside him in horror, because he thought of what James said when he came in. There were meteors falling from the sky, and the place where the falling star was not far from the harbor. To be precise, it was outside the window. .
James obviously understood what Haireddin was thinking, a saint, the apostle of the gods! The young deputy leader of the pirate turned his head in panic, and his heart was full of inexplicable emotions.
Haredding just paused and continued to talk about it.
Those saints wear majestic armor with wings made of flames. They are strong and sacred. They walk the glory of the emperor to every corner of the world. But when the Holy See is strong, these saints leave. No one knows whether it is true or not, and it may be just a legendary story. But since the saint left, it has been difficult for the Holy See to maintain the strongest power, because the Greyjoy family has the rule of the world, and the deceased began to appear in the Greyjoy family.
The deceased?
Li frowned and listened to Hailedding talk about the special features of the deceased. "It's just to save people through artificial respiration. Can it really make people stronger? It's probably a psychological factor."
