Chapter 523: To plunder the courtyard
Odysseus is well-known among both the settlers and adventurers. He can also talk to many brigades. In Mu Hua's eyes, he was a big boss.
But to be honest, Odysseus can't talk to adventurers above the brigade level.
Perhaps because of his work, whether it is ghosts or crowned shadows, they may know Odysseus, but generally don't want to have any intersection with him.
"Your vision is restored now? What are your plans?" In the dark nightclub bar, the noise subsided, everyone sat at their own tables, chatting and resting, and the waiter served Mu Hua drinks and left. Odysseus asked Mu Hua.
"What plans, I guess we have to wait a while. There are still a lot of trivialities to sort out in Caines. The business here is really good." Observing the customers here, Mu Hua said relaxedly.
In the atmosphere where it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, there are many customers who patronize the decadent. This is just the bar on the first floor, but many customers who come here are not just for leisure.
Although it is a bar, even if Old Barron has not "changed his profession" to do ghost business, this place does not conflict with Old Barron's bar.
The high consumption price is one aspect, and on the other hand, most of the adventurers who come here are not for drinking. A few come to buy magic materials that are hard to find in the outside world, and more people come here to select demon mercenaries.
It seems that some people occasionally come here to borrow money. In addition to the casino, massage, function room and other projects upstairs, the bar on this floor alone seems to have a wide range of business.
Most people with special needs here will be served by waiters, and Lucifer will personally talk to those who are rich and have high spending power.
Smiling but arrogant, no one makes trouble on Mu Hua's side. Lucifer is like a nobleman in the dark night, going around the tables, communicating with different customers with different attitudes, and occasionally attracting the seductive eyes of female customers, looking quite like a good socialite.
"What trivial matters are there? Aren't all the trivial matters here handled by the girls?" Odysseus raised his chin and looked at the table of Alice and Ajel.
"Look, yours, the price of the ambergris is higher than that of the familiar. Haha, seeing how embarrassed Ajel is, I am considering raising Ajel's salary." Odysseus said with a smile.
Mu Hua did have some trivial matters to deal with, but the various things in Caines City were secondary. The main thing was that he needed some time to spend money.
In the years on the Abyss Island, he was very cautious in learning magic. Now that the problem of the petrified magic eye has been solved, he still needs to take some time to strengthen himself.
"Who wants the ambergris? Ajel or you?" Looking at the smiling Alice and the anxious Ajel over there, Mu Hua asked Odysseus.
"You don't have griffins in the familiars you sell. I plan to add some griffin knights to the team, so I want to collect some ambergris to try myself. Let them talk, don't worry." Odysseus smiled casually.
Mu Hua and griffins are not compatible. Those shrewd beasts are stubborn and stubborn when it comes to matters related to demons. Even if they are seduced with ambergris, those griffins will not care about him.
Although the familiars sold in Caines City are all kidnapped with ambergris, the so-called familiar market is not just for making money. Alice's price for ambergris is higher than those of regular familiars.
Hearing that Odysseus wants to raise griffins, Mu Hua curled his lips in disdain. Why do you want griffins? Aren't earth dragons and flying dragons better? Give them full mental stability, and they dare to show their teeth to dragons.
Since he was going to add war beasts to the strategy team, it was probably that Odysseus's investment was also from others. He originally wanted to give him some benefits and discounts, but when he heard the word griffin, Mu Hua simply stopped mentioning it.
"What do you think about the strategy I mentioned to you earlier?" Odysseus asked Mu Hua, who really didn't care much about the ambergris fruit.
"Are you sure you want to give up your team members?" Looking around, Mu Hua lowered his voice. He was not afraid of anything, but was mainly worried about affecting Odysseus.
As Mu Hua's strength continued to grow, and Mu Hua didn't care about his identity as much as those veteran adventurers, Odysseus didn't want to attack the courtyard, he had the intention of attacking the courtyard.
He wanted to organize some adventurers who could really fight and kill with Mu Hua to seriously attack the courtyard, instead of contacting all walks of life for support all day long and looking for various adventure teams to cooperate with them.
But if that were the case, the strategy team members in his team would be somewhat inferior. Well, if they really wanted to stand out, they could, but the mortality rate would probably be a bit high.
"I can't say I've given up. They just keep filming. You know, I was originally an adventurer. The reason I started the strategy group business was mainly because I had no hope for the future." Odysseus was quite emotional.
When Odysseus was young, he was a dragon rider in a certain country's dragon rider corps. Later, he ran away to become an adventurer. Then, it should be because of the problem with Tamara's evolution that he was somewhat discouraged, and then he became the current brave mentor Odysseus.
Although he is now famous and wealthy, unfortunately, these do not seem to be his pursuit.
Now that Tamara's problem has been solved, his strength has improved, and he has also gained a longer life. As a result, the old guy's passion has revived, and he is no longer willing to accompany a group of handsome men and beautiful women to show off.
"If you want to seek excitement occasionally, I can understand, but if you really want to capture the courtyard, it will not take a year or two. I don't need to say more about the involvement, right?" Mu Hua shook his head.
"Of course, I know these better than you. As long as you are willing to go against the Lord of the Courtyard, it doesn't matter if I join the Dandelion Team. You are telling me, Captain." As Odysseus said this, he winked at Taibesha who was standing beside him, which made Taibesha look embarrassed.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Mu Hua knocked his fingers on the table without any intention of teasing.
"Oh, I said, you can't be so quiet." Odysseus said happily.
"It's not that I'm not quiet. Who doesn't want to occupy a place like the courtyard if they have the ability? But the preparation for the war is not a matter of a moment. Don't talk about me, ask Betha, don't talk about her, Vivian probably has dreamed of occupying the courtyard."
"Don't talk about anything else, tell me what you want first? You don't just want to fight with monsters, right? If you want this kind of excitement, you don't have to go to the courtyard, just tell me how mature you want yourself to be, and I will satisfy you."
Mu Hua shook his head, and Taibesha and Vivian at the same table rolled their eyes at him.
"Capturing the courtyard is naturally for the territory. The time and resources involved in Tamara's future growth also need a territory that can be supported by sustainable development. However, isn't it too early to talk about this now?" Odysseus stopped smiling and frowned.
"Not early." Mu Hua shook his head again.
"Hmm? Are you sure? You want to go to war directly with the Lord of the Courtyard? Caines?" Odysseus's eyes condensed, staring at Mu Hua, with excitement and uneasiness flashing alternately in his eyes.
"It's not a direct war, but I have some ideas. I am more considering how to face the counterattack of the Bloody Hills. The scale of the battle may not be too small. After all, you have to join the group. If you withdraw easily in the future and affect the deployment, I am afraid you will have no friends." Mu Hua said seriously.
Caines City is regarded as the rear base by Mu Hua, but this territory can be regarded as the product of fate. The rear base in Mu Hua's mind is actually the human world. It doesn't matter where it is. It would be better to have a sky city.
With a rear base, there must be a place for development and growth, which also involves the issue of the subordinates' achievements. How can they leave the courtyard at the doorstep undeveloped?
Mu Hua's Abyss Island is a dimensional fragment, but whether it is a dimensional fragment or a dimensional world like a courtyard, they are essentially broken worlds. This kind of broken world can only be open to entry and exit if it is attached to a complete world.
Just like when Mu Hua first came to Loren, he gained the ability to enter and exit the Abyss Island. If the Abyss Island is compared to a ship, then Loren Star is a port. Only when the ship is docked at the port can outsiders board the ship.
When Mu Hua planted the World Tree, because of the World Tree, the Abyss Island was upgraded to a certain extent in the spatial level, replacing Loren Star. The entire human world can be said to have become the port of the Abyss Island.
But no matter how it is upgraded, if this world is destroyed, Mu Hua will not be able to enter the Abyss Island before he finds the next complete world as an object of attachment.
Therefore, the saying that the human world is the rear base is not just a simple worry that the courtyard will be easily destroyed, but it is also inevitably related to Mu Hua's free entry and exit of the Abyss Island.
Just like the Sky City he wants to build, even if he has to establish a certain foundation in the human world, he is not willing to entrust his family business to the Magic Empire.
Using the relatively independent Sky City as his home in the human world and developing his own territory in the courtyard, these are all in Mu Hua's conception.
Whether or not he can build a Sky City, it is inevitable to attack and plunder in the courtyard, and courtyards like Kanins, which have both suspended stones and have not been integrated by large forces, must be his first choice.
"Tell me what you think. If there is a large-scale war, even if it is a local defense, you have so many people now?"
"Don't talk about those magical lives. If the scope is too large, if there are large-scale casualties, even if you can't drag you to death, you can ruin your reputation. Do you need to coordinate with other forces?" Odysseus asked seriously.
"All the serial numbers have become citizens of the Magic Empire. I will not conscript them. I guess coordination is needed."
"As for the first half of the Kanins Courtyard, if I can let everyone defend the city, do you think they can let us take charge of the overall situation?" Mu Hua turned to Odysseus and asked.
"Defend the city? You mean... petrified magic eye?" After a brief thought, Odysseus guessed.
"Hmm!" Mu Hua nodded.
"Hiss~, this is a bit unethical. Will it make the Lord of the Courtyard angry?" Guessing Mu Hua's intention, Odysseus took a breath.
"I plan to find an area to try first? Are you coming?" Mu Hua stretched and leaned back.
The petrified magic eye does not have an instant death effect. If the projected monsters are petrified, they are not dead in the first place, and their bodies cannot reappear in hell, so naturally they cannot be projected again.
It is self-evident what Mu Hua wants to do. He originally planned to do it on his own. If Odysseus joins the group, he can coordinate with various forces, which will save Mu Hua a lot of effort. (End of this chapter)
