This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 260 Parliament, price, surging hearts
in the parliament hall.

A dozen or so well-dressed congressmen with majestic faces sat at the long table, facing the masked woman standing in front.

She was obviously just a woman, but just standing there, her aura faintly overwhelmed the congressmen.

Sunlight penetrates through the glass dome on the roof, and it takes shape under the refraction of the glass. Regular light spots are projected on the woman, while the congressman and the long table are in the dark.

At this moment, it seemed that the councilors were beings trapped in darkness, and the woman was an angel who descended from the sky to save them.

Like an ancient goblin who was active in ancient times and was born with a beautiful voice, the beautiful voice of the woman echoed in the hall of Nuoda.

"My master told me that if you want to seize this unique opportunity, you need to pay one-tenth of your property."

After a moment of silence, the parliament hall, which used to represent the supreme governing body of the Xingyao Islands, erupted like a vegetable market.

"Impossible!" The councilors burst into flames, like angry lions, "Even if it's the cost of the most expensive and powerful mercenary group in the Western Continent, it's not as big as yours!"

"One-tenth of our property, why don't you just grab it!?"

"I think you are teasing us! Guards, arrest this woman and throw her into the sea to feed the fish!"

The councilors glared, some clenched their fists, some became furious, and some called out to the guards, all in different shapes, like the epitome of all beings before the disaster.

Even Hardman, the chairman of the council, had a gloomy face. Although he had prepared to pay a large sum of money in advance, he was still shocked by the tone of the masked woman.

One-tenth of the family property.

Xingyao City has occupied the Xingyao Islands for hundreds of years. At the beginning, it was occupied by a group of immigrants from the mainland. With advanced concepts and production tools, these immigrants quickly integrated with the local primitive tribes. Live and thrive.

Handed down by the many noble families to which these immigrants belonged, thirteen parliamentary families gradually formed, each family has a member representing its interests, and elections are held every five years to select the symbolic members from the members. Supreme Council of Parliament.

The thirteen parliamentary families are connected with each other, continuing and maintaining this order in the Shining Star Islands for hundreds of years.

Over the past few hundred years, the amount of wealth accumulated by each family through various methods of operating the Xingyao Islands can be called the treasure house of a dragon. Even if an accident happened a hundred years ago and caused them to lose a lot, they still have wealth. It is unimaginable to outsiders.

And now this masked woman wants one-tenth of their property as soon as she opens her mouth! ?

Are you kidding mediterranean?

When the fully armed guards heard the shouts of the congressmen, they immediately pushed open the gate and filed in to surround the women. If there was even a trace of resistance, a sharp sword light would fall on them.

Facing the cold swords of the guards, the masked woman didn't show any trace of fear or fear, she just stood there quietly, her eyes didn't fluctuate, and she looked at these guards with a hint of disdain.

"stop."

The voice of Councilor Hardman made the guards stop. After looking at each other, they put away their weapons, but they still stood where they were and were ready to call.

"Does your master know the concept of one-tenth of our property? His appetite is too big, so isn't he afraid of being stuffed to death?"

The masked woman smiled faintly, "Master's bosom is big enough to hold a round of Wang Yang."

"So it's not negotiable?"

"Life cannot be discounted."

Hardman's forehead was bulging with blue veins, resisting the urge to curse, he waved his hand.

"Then please leave first."

Hearing this, the masked woman was not annoyed, and made a farewell ceremony that was more elegant and standard than court etiquette.

"If your Excellency is willing to accept this small condition, then find us on the island on the northern edge of the archipelago, and we will stay there for some time."

After finishing speaking, the woman didn't stay any longer, she turned sassly and brought a wisp of sea breeze, passed between the guards and disappeared behind the gate.

After a brief silence, arguments erupted again in the hall.

"This condition is too harsh. I didn't expect this so-called savior to be like this. It's too deceptive!"

"In my opinion, she is just a liar, and she has no strength to stop the tide of sea beasts."

"Don't think that Xingyao City really has no power to resist. We have a powerful army, and relying on the coastal defense forts on the island is not impossible to resist."

"That's right, I'd rather sink all my money into the sea than give it to someone with such a big appetite!"

"But what should we do, the tide of sea beasts will arrive in two days at the earliest"

Hardman looked at the quarrelsome members of parliament, feeling a little headache and irritated. The parliamentary system is like this, most of the time it is noisy and argues for ineffective suggestions.

In the end, he could only slap the table hard.

The voices in the hall gradually died down.

Hardman said in a deep voice: "No matter what, send someone to monitor this masked woman first, so as to prevent them from making small moves in the Xingyao Islands when the tide of sea beasts comes!"

"That's right, we want to keep our wealth!"

"The tide of sea beasts is a threat, and these guys who suddenly appeared are also a threat."

This time it was about security and wealth issues, and the members of the House of Representatives quickly reached an agreement.

An island outside the Xingyao Islands, Ji Chen stood on a high ground and looked at the islands arranged like a chessboard.

Behind them stood a group of heroes of the crown of the ocean. On the sea not far away, thousands of troops armed to the teeth stood like statues, waiting for the lord's order.

soon.

A figure galloping across the sea appeared in the distance. When it reached the edge of the island, it jumped lightly and landed on the ground with some splashes, and then came to the front with graceful steps.

The masked woman took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face that could turn all sentient beings upside down.

This person is Alice.

After leaving the council hall of Xingyao City, she rushed back here immediately and calmed down a little before she said.

"My lord, they refused."

Ji Chen slowly nodded without the slightest surprise. It is obviously not a contemptuous target for these aborigines to give up one-tenth of their family property at once, and he did not expect to be able to persuade them all at once.

But he didn't worry about it, because those congressmen would come to them on their own initiative.

"All camp!"

"Let's rest here for a while and wait for a good show!"

……

The door of the parliament hall.

Two clerks came out, holding out their hands to block the dazzling sunlight outside.

Wait until your eyes have adjusted to the light before letting go.

Seeing that there was no one left or right, one of the clerks whispered.

"Who did you say was that beautiful masked woman just now? Is it an aborigine or a player?"

"Of course it's an aborigine. Didn't you see the transparent fins behind her ears? It's probably some intelligent sea tribe... Wait, how do you know she's beautiful? Isn't she wearing a mask?" Another player was surprised road.

The former patted his chest and said confidently.

"I can assure you with ten years of experience in Bailefang, that girl is absolutely beautiful!"

Bailefang is a legally operated red-light district in Shining Star City. It is a one-stop shop for eating, drinking and playing, which is comparable to heaven and earth.

Whether it is a place that players or aborigines like very much.

"We have only been in this world for a few months, and you have ten years of experience!?

"Forget it, whether she is pretty or not has nothing to do with me, and she even said she has a master, maybe some kind of subordinate, she sounds so fanatical and worshipful, so..."

The other player was silent for a while, "Gah, this evil world!"

"Do you think what she said is true? Is there really an aboriginal force that can help the Xingyao Islands resist the tide of sea beasts?"

"I don't know, but the price they proposed is a bit scary, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach a deal."

"Hey, if those congressmen really can't come up with any way to fight the sea beast tide, then we have to pack up and run away. Although they give a lot of money, life is still important."

The latter nodded approvingly. Since they lost their territory, relying on their experience on Blue Star, they managed to become a clerk in Xingyao City, thinking that with such an iron rice bowl, they could live a stable life .Unexpectedly, before enjoying the blessings for a few months, the tide of sea beasts came suddenly.

Tomorrow and the accident don't know which will come first... What a fucking world.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, "Since the masked woman said that she can help Xingyao Islands resist the tide of sea beasts, then we might as well pass this news to other players, maybe they are willing to contribute, and maybe they can impress this aboriginal force .”

"This is a bit of a trick, so that our jobs can at least be kept, and other players probably don't want to just give up their territory... I remember she said that she would wait on the island on the northern edge of the Xingyao Islands?"

"That's right, it's settled..."

The two opened the forum and began compiling what they had seen and heard in the council hall.

Because the two of them became the clerks of Shining Star City, they could more or less touch some parliamentary policies, so many players from the Shining Star Islands paid attention to their forums.

When a top-up proposal appeared on the forum, it immediately attracted the attention of many players.

The circulation of information on the forum was extremely fast, and soon the entire Xingyao Islands players knew that there was an aboriginal force here, which could help resist the tide of sea beasts.

Some players half-believed and went to the northern fringe island where the aboriginal force they mentioned was located. When they saw a scary-looking army stationed there, they suddenly became excited and quickly sent this The news spread to the forum.

"Fuck, there really are? But just a few thousand troops, can they stop tens of millions of sea beasts?"

"Although there are only a few thousand troops, I saw that all of them are fifth-level troops. Wouldn't it be better to deal with those low-level sea beasts by chopping melons and vegetables and killing them indiscriminately?"

"Then this army belongs to the aborigines or the players?"

"It must belong to the aborigines! How could there be such a Kazakh army in just a few months? If not, I will abstain from sex for a year and not go to Bailefang!"

"Brother is so ruthless, I admire you little brother!"

After getting the confirmed news, many players also began to think about whether they should contribute some money and resources to let this army take action.

Their territory is in the Xingyao Islands, and their roots have been deeply rooted here. With a sense of belonging, they are also reluctant to abandon the land here, and abandon those who are not smart but very simple.

The only variable is not knowing how much the army is asking for, and they can't bear it if the lion opens its mouth.

Watching the sun gradually set and a full moon rise into the sky, many people find it difficult to fall asleep.

Xingyao City is a stepped city built around the central mountain. The closer the residential houses and manors are to the mountain and the higher the altitude, the richer and more powerful they are.

As the managers of the Thirteenth Council family that ruled the Xingyao Islands, their manor is naturally located at a high altitude, occupying only a dozen or so flat lands on this mountain, with an elegant environment and beautiful scenery. To the low Xingyao City and the distant sea.

Here, the parliamentary families have established independent facilities so that their descendants can enjoy a good life from birth

However, the residential areas in the valley area below are extremely crowded. A large number of poor people are crowded in the iron houses, wrapped in thin quilts filled with cotton wool, resisting the cold sea breeze blowing in from the holes in the houses, and enduring the pain in their stomachs. Feeling empty.

Ever since the news of the imminent attack of the sea beast swarm reached the archipelago, the residents became restless, especially when there were rumors that those councilors were planning to flee with their property.

The masters should do their best to stop the tide of sea beasts, why do you want to leave?
When some courageous residents ran to the gate of the city hall to inquire, they were beaten up by vicious guards.

This seems to indicate the truth of the rumor, which made all the residents panic. The gentlemen were able to leave safely in a big boat with their family property under the service of their servants, but these little people didn't have a big boat to leave. Those little boats couldn't cross the sea at all.

Just when the residents were extremely frightened, another rumor appeared.

There is a powerful army from a distant continent staying in the Xingyao Islands, and their strength is enough to resist the terrible sea beasts.

As long as the MPs pay a little price, they will come forward to help the Star Island.

But the gentlemen are not willing to pay that little price even if they want to leave.

"Master, why is this? As long as a little gold coins flow out from their fingers, they can hold this place. Why are you still unwilling?"

"Obviously they are already very rich, why are they not willing to pay such a small price? This is too cold-blooded..."

"You are crazy, if the guards hear you say these words, they will beat you to death!"

Rumors spread among the people and reached the ears of MPs, making them furious.

What a small price this is! ?
This is one-tenth of their family property, which is something you pariahs can't earn in 1 years!
They immediately sent soldiers to arrest the residents who said this and put them in prison, but they still couldn't stop the spread of rumors.

At the same time, the fleet of Xingyao Islands finally observed the turbulent tide of sea beasts coming from the south, and was ordered by the council to attack.

However, the horror of the sea beast tide was far beyond their imagination. The overwhelming sea beasts rushed forward with their teeth grinning under the cannon fire, and caught up with the battleship with just one encounter, and devoured all the living people inside, leaving only a dozen or so dilapidated ships. Rotten warships floating on the sea.

At this moment, the congressmen were completely panicked. They didn't expect that more than a dozen powerful warships could not even slow down the pace of the sea beast.

At the same time, after receiving the news of the fleet's defeat, the public opinion in Xingyao City quickly fermented, and the public opinion that let the strange but very powerful army participate in the battle was also raging.

Even if the MPs sent someone to appease them, it was useless.

You can't fight, you don't have this ability, you know.
