917 Terms for Gudah


    "...."


    Out of respect for Volpe''s psychological state, Robin decided to remain silent, and the rest automatically fell silent as well, each of them thinking about his own thing.


    The other three in the tent realized that something was off as well, they had their own exnations before listening to Robin, however, their expressions changed for the worse, the two exnations that Robin came up with were undoubtedly the closest to reality.


    Old Gu looked at Volpe with pity, that person was also a king, close to his age, he just wanted to take shelter behind an Overlord and be stronger for him and his followers to survive, but suddenly he heard that he and the millions of people he caused to be transformed into demi-foxes were being exploited to provide protection and food for a mere beast... Old Gu finally sighed and shook his head, if he were in his ce he would have found it difficult to ept it as well.


    "Hehe, don''t say I didn''t warn you~" As for Samson, he decided to rub salt in the wound.


    "Hey, do you realize that in all of His Excellency''s interpretations of the situation, you will be affected as well?" Old Man Gu didn''t like Samson''s reaction, "You are living in the worst possible time frame in the life of any, in less than two thousand years you will witness a devastating catastrophe, or are you nning a mass suicide before then?"


    If the Overlord really nned to upy the after advancing to the Middleary Belt, then Samson would be enved or killed while Volpe and his people would survive as servants to Devos The Transcendent. If the Overlord just wanted to take Devos The Transcendent with him and plunder the and then leave, then Samson and his people would suffer the same consequences because their was too weak and wouldn''tst long in theary Belt without protection.


    "At least we weren''t enved and working on removing the dung of a certain giant fox while we still had the chance to say no hahaha." Samsonughed out loud again.


    "…" Volpe''s shaking from left to right elerated after hearing Samson''s words, his ws digging into his head even more as if he wanted to crush his skull.


    …As for Robin, he was still trying to connect the many remaining dots to settle on the picture of what was happening, but unfortunately, every time he reached aplete picture of what was happening, other possibilities came up. The reason is simply that the information he received is very little, if that information were distributed to a hundred people they woulde up with a hundred stories. But in all those stories there is one thing inmon, the Overlord is interested in the in the long term, he treats Gudah like someone who bought a young calf and waits for it to grow up before he ughters it.


    Robin raised his eyes to look at Volpe and Samson… ording to Gu''s description, that is very weak, there are a total of about two million demi-foxes in the southern region scattered in many viges they callmunities, while in the north there are about a million of those mutant red humans. They also have roughly 250 Martial Emperors in the south and about 120 in the north, most of them are low-level, with one recruitment announcement from Robin, he can gather an army of that number in a day! Colonizing that ce to expand the influence of the True Beginning Empire, especially the southern half, would be easier than taking candy from a child, but he had to consider two things… First of all, regr humans would only be able to survive there by using the armor or living permanently inside arrays, which would not be practical if he wanted to extract the''s resources, and second of all, if he went too far, he would risk angering the Overlord who was eagerly awaiting his prey! So the only solution to benefit from this ce is…


    "Gu told me that he offered to start a business?" Robin started talking again n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "That''s right, Brother Gu told us that you can make something called thermal arrays that will allow us to farm the southern half." Samson quickly answered.


    "Thermal arrays? Constantly producing heat requires a lot of energy, especially if the ambient temperature is too low. Have you calcted how many pearls we would need to keep such an array running?" Robin looked to the side, Old Gu must be well aware of this.


    "Your Excellency, the Frost Permanence Merged Law is influencing the entire southern region''s weather and not allowing any heat tost long. In order to sessfully grow a small field of nts there, I had to use my strongest attack, the Sun of Exaltation, and maintain it for a long time." Old Gu exined.


    Robin raised his eyebrows, "Frost Permanence? Time Law is involved?! That''s all the more reason why the Overlord likes that fox, Hehe. Anyway, I can design a custom pattern to destroy the minor Permanence Law patterns. That would require much less energy."


    "Thank you, Your Excellency. I couldn''t ask for anything more than your personal intervention." Old Gu stood up and gave a full bow, taking a look at the patterns from the time path was something significant and worth looking forward to!


    "...." Samson''s mind stopped working, was what he heard true? Thatary Emperor has what it takes to destroy the Law of Permanence?


    Robin then pointed at Samson, "What about his ownnd, is it suitable for farming?"


    "Yes, Your Excellency, the soil there is filled with ash and is easy to cultivate, and setting up arrays there would be a simple task for the R&D team since the minorw of Permanence is absent, please don''t worry about it." Old Gu quickly replied, if His Excellency bears everything, then there is no point in having a R&D team.


    "..." Samson pointed to himself in disbelief, their fire hell can be farmed too?!


    "Hehe then let''s start with you until your friend regains consciousness and decides who to side with." Robinughed at Samson''s reaction, "Putting aside creating a farming environment for you, I can provide you with grains and various medicinal nts, I will provide you with domesticated animals and beasts to take meat, milk, hide, and silk from, and on top of that I will give you the Major Heavely Laws of Fire, Lightning, and Wind, and I believe they can practice thesews with your bodies. I will build you hospital fields for treatment and dig several rivers, I will order the making of arrays to reduce the temperature in your residentialmunities and give you temperature control bracelets as well in case you want to go out hunting!"


    "....." Samson wanted to say something but he just pointed to himself again several times with his mouth open.


    "Brother Samson, nothinges for free." Old Guughed,


    making Samson close his mouth again and look back at Robin, "...Please state your terms."


    In front of Samson''s pleading gaze, Robin smiled, "All you have heard now are the characteristics of the True Beginning Empire that are given to its citizens and the people who have dered their loyalty to it, but I will agree to give you everything in specific quantities and turn your into a livable ce, in exchange for four requests... The first is that you will agree with the merchants of the Burton family on fair prices for all these blessings and more of the innovations that I have not mentioned, as they were of course not invented and produced without much expense on our part, you can use pearls or energy essences to pay, you can also use any kind of ancient herbs or useful minerals." "... Second, the representatives of the Empire must be treated with all respect when they visit you to take something or give you something, when you see them it should be like seeing me! Third, you are strictly forbidden to leak anything I have sold to you to a third party, if I find one of my inventions, even in the middle belt, I will return to wipe you all out, and it is better that you do not tell your Overlord about our rtionship in the first ce." Then he continued, "Fourth andstly… Well, let''s leave that forter~"
