Chapter 568: Lao Lu, do you want the Core of the Earth?
"You say." Shao Zheng said.
"First, the Magic Association can send people to assist, or send people to supervise and report at any time, but they cannot interfere with my decision." Xu Fang said.
He had no intention of being a dictator or a local tyrant, but the necessary power must be in his own hands.
The kind of cats and dogs that come out of nowhere can point fingers at him... This kind of thing must never happen!
"Okay." Shao Zheng agreed readily.
"Second, since it is a logistical support, various industries, especially the existing magic industry, must be moved here, and the transportation network must be built as soon as possible." Xu Fang said.
"This is as it should be." Shao Zheng said: "We plan to plan some coastal cities as fortress cities, which will be under the unified jurisdiction of the military, and the enterprises and factories inside will be moved to the Dongting Lake Plain."
"Third, defense force."
Xu Fang had no intention of being polite to Shao Zheng at all, and stretched out his third finger.
"Jinlin City has always had a weak mage force, and the super-class mage group has not yet been formed, and it has no ability to resist external risks.
And as a base city, we need a forbidden spell mage to take charge!"
If Shao Zheng had not reacted to the first sentence, the second sentence made him look serious.
It's not that there are no forbidden spell mages, but there are too few.
The sea monsters are eyeing them covetously. If possible, Shao Zheng would like to send them all to the coastline!
Xu Fang didn't say anything and ate there.
There are very few forbidden spells. Of course, he knew this. Even the Mu family, the first clan in China, has only two forbidden spells.
In the magic association system, Pang Lai, the chief of the Forbidden Palace, is only a half-forbidden spell.
China is famous for ice and fire, but in the later period, Hua Zhanhong, as the head of the national defense army, did not have a ready-made fire forbidden spell under his command.
Looking at the whole country, there are only dozens of forbidden spells registered in the forbidden spell association!
Even in the ancient capital, a city with a history of thousands of years and accompanied by the dead, the strongest person is only a super-class full-cultivation!
He asked for a forbidden spell mage to be stationed right away, which sounded a bit unreasonable.
But Xu Fang still mentioned it. Although the Dongting Lake Base City is inland, it is also connected to the sea by a surging Yangtze River.
The ocean gods are not fools. If they go upstream to attack the rear, wouldn’t they be finished without forbidden spells to guard?
"I will select suitable candidates from the forbidden spell club." Shao Zheng asked: "Are there any other requirements?"
"No requirements, but there is a suggestion." Xu Fang said: "I want to apply for an earth core, with earth attribute."
······
Jinlin City.
Beijiao Park
"Iron claws tear the sky apart, bloody mouths swallow the sun and moon. Who can bear the purgatory on earth? The living beings are suffering and heartbroken!"
Lv Yi lay on the recliner, humming an opera:
"The demons retreat, the dawn appears, and the magician's power shakes the nine heavens. The world returns to peace, and the people sing and celebrate the good harvest. The flag of justice is flying high, and the light of magic flows forever!"
Singing a little song and basking in the sun, Lu Yi felt that his eyelids were a little heavy.
He simply covered his face with a palm-leaf fan and took a nap. Soon, he heard a slight snoring sound coming from under the fan.
"Grandma, come to eat."
Chen Ying took off her apron and walked out of the house.
"Are you asleep again?" Chen Ying gently patted the back of Lu Yi's hand: "Grandma, grandma, the food is cold."
"Hmm? Oh..." Lu Yi shook his dazed head and stood up.
"Other old people sleep less, but you do the opposite." Chen Ying said.
"If I have nothing to do, I can just sleep." Lu Yi yawned.
"Why don't you go to the park and play with those old men and women? If not, I'll sign you up for a Sunset Red Travel Agency?"
"No, no, don't worry about it."
Chen Ying was a little helpless. Since returning from the Holy City a few days ago, Lu Yi has been in this listless state.
It's like tasting a long-lost delicacy, but before you can savor it carefully, the cups and plates are empty, which makes people feel anxious.
"How about we talk to General Xu and ask him to give you a position?" Chen Ying asked.
"No need, that kid is backed by a forbidden spell master, so why does he need an old woman like me." Lu Yi said stubbornly.
"That's right, I won't fight anymore." Chen Ying, an honest child, said straightforwardly.
Lu Yi was a little anxious: "Why... Why don't you call him? I'm not going to quit my job, I just want to hear what that guy has to say."
Ding-ling-ling!
The phone on Lu Yi's desk rang, and the note was Xu Fang.
"It's General Xu's call." Chen Ying was about to answer it, but Lu Yi stopped her: "Don't answer it yet."
"What?"
"Wait a minute, let the ring ring twice." Lu Yi said.
Chen Ying was speechless, and could only watch her grandmother wait for the first ring to finish like a child, and answer the phone when it was about to be disconnected.
"Hello?"
"Old Lu, congratulations on your wealth!"
Lu Yi: "??? Did you call the wrong number?"
"No, you didn't." Xu Fang smiled and said: "I'm asking you, do you want the Earth Core? If you do, just open your mouth and I'll send it to you."
Lu Yi laughed.
Is this brat joking with me, an old man?
"Then send it here."
"Okay, wait, I'll talk when I return home."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi was still a little dazed holding the phone.
This kid wouldn't really... It shouldn't be possible!
The next day, it was calm and nothing happened.
On the third day, except for a few attentive old men who came to deliver home-cooked meals, no one else came to visit.
The fourth day.
"Old lady! Why haven't you gotten up yet when the sun is so high?" Xu Fang shouted outside the house: "Can you sleep at your age?"
"What are you shouting for? Are you cursing the mountain gate?"
Lu Yi's wrinkled face still showed resentment of being forced to get up: "What's the matter?"
"Here you go." Xu Fang threw something over casually, and Lu Yi's sleepy eyes widened instantly after seeing what it was!
"What a sin!"
The soft updraft lifted the thing in the air.
"The core of the earth!?" Lu Yi stared at the litmus, and then looked at Xu Fang.
"Yes."
"... Give it to me?"
"Of course."
Lu Yi was stunned.
She knew the value of the Earth Core best, especially in China, where the country was more inclined to build a city's defense barrier than to build a forbidden spell mage.
"This Earth Core was specially approved by Chairman Shao Zheng and has been registered in the Forbidden Spell Association. You can choose to accept or not."
Xu Fang said seriously: "If you don't accept it, just pretend that this incident never happened and live your life as you should.
If you accept it, your retirement life will end here. Dongting Lake Base City needs a forbidden spell mage to sit in.
And I can tell you that the Dongting Lake Base City will definitely be targeted by the sea monster in the future, and the danger of the battle mage will never be less than that of the coastal area!"
Lv Yi looked at the Earth Core in front of him, and a smile appeared on his old face.
"You are just a young man in his twenties this year... I am worried about putting such a heavy burden on you. The Earth Core stays, and you can go."
Xu Fang also smiled.
"Leave? I won't leave. A forbidden spell mage's breakthrough is such a rare sight. I must stay and learn more!"
"Hahaha, then you stay!"
Lv Yi's hunched back straightened a little at this moment: "Today, I will let you, young man, know what your aunt is still your aunt! Prepare more crocodile wine, as a celebration wine for me!"
