Chapter 605: It seems that I have to make up for the weekend and the vacation is ruined
"Is it okay to only test the liberal arts and not the combat ability?"
Seeing that Lilia was actually thinking about how to sign a contract with the devil, Mo Cheng couldn't help but give her a knife, "You really plan to deal with the devil in Baator, right? Aren't you afraid of selling your own soul that has been deceived?"
The devil's contract is notoriously full of traps, and the language traps in the contract terms are everywhere. You can't even tell whether the so-called "a drop of blood from the heart" in the contract refers to the blood from the heart or a person you cherish.
Or maybe "an eye" refers to the eye of the organ, or the bright "eye of the heart". To deceive one's own eyes is tantamount to becoming a foolish and stupid person.
Or it could be [leave a little life], you also don’t know whether this means leaving a little life for the devil or leaving a little life for yourself.
This is still the most basic language trap. The exquisite patterns on the contract paper are mostly not exquisite decorations, but the language of other races that you cannot understand. Using patterned words to list unfair treaties and regulations with the final right of interpretation is completely commonplace for the devil.
And when you ask the devil to erase all the patterns and use a blank piece of paper, you must have eyes that can see the truth, because many times the devil just covers up the patterns and then writes down the rules on it as if it were a blank piece of paper.
There are even some devils who write the supplementary regulations directly on the plant fibers of the paper, making it difficult to detect.
This is just the method that Mo Cheng, who has no special knowledge of the Devil's Contract, has heard about. He doesn't know much about more complicated things.
But understanding this extent is enough.
At least when he was in the [Foreign Land], Mo Cheng's attitude towards the devil that appeared before him was always to kill first and ask questions later, no matter whether the other party was prepared or appeared before him unexpectedly.
Ignoring Lilia who was thinking about how to sign a contract with the devil and even trick the devil, Mo Cheng turned to Helena who was also in the carriage and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Just now, Mo Cheng remembered that the noble emblem on the convoy was the emblem of the Serannis family, but he did not expect that Baron Helena, the head of the family, would appear here with Lilia .
After all, where we are now is on a highway not far from the city of Hessler. This place is now Minanka's territory, real enemy territory.
"With Celtic City back in Aundair's hands, our external roads have been opened. At the same time, Her Majesty the Queen is planning to have a road built directly to Celtic City, using Celtic City as a springboard to conduct economic trade with the outside world."
After Helena's explanation, Mo Cheng learned that after taking over the Celtic City, Andel began to operate and trade with the outside world.
After all, although Mo Cheng brought back a lot of gold, it is impossible for him to live on this gold forever. Andel still has to have her own income and expenses.
So after solving the portal problem, Andel immediately started doing business and trade.
Helena continued, "As for the issue with Minanka, to be honest, before Andel and Minanka completely fell out, as long as the industries were not exclusive to the royal family, the industries owned by the nobles would not be a big problem. After all, there are also many industries in Celtic City that currently belong to Minanka nobles, and we have not taken them back either."
"If one noble directly breaks off relations and seizes our convoy because of the Aundair issue, the other nobles will also worry about whether their assets will be seized because of different political views. If the consensus is destroyed, no one will be willing to approach us."
"And there's one more thing." Helena spread her hands helplessly. "Regarding the sinking of the fleet, Serannis needs to compensate the nobles who invested in the fleet. The time for the agreed compensation is running out, and we..."
Helena did not continue speaking, but the meaning was already very clear. Minanka seized the power of Aundair, and at the same time, Serannis's industry, as a descendant of the queen, naturally became the spoils of the aristocratic faction.
The industry has shrunk significantly. Not to mention compensating the nobles who have invested in it, even maintaining the current situation of the Seranis family is difficult.
Although Mo Cheng didn't quite understand why it was legal and reasonable for industries to be occupied when political struggles failed, different countries' positions did not allow them to openly occupy each other's industries. However, he didn't need to understand too well the unspoken rules that had been running for a long time in the aristocratic circle.
Anyway, he can't get involved.
After hearing about Seranis's difficulties, Mo Cheng was unable to help. He had already handed over all the gold in the Tesai treasury to Mishas as funds for Andair's operations.
Not only does he not have any gold on hand now, but because of Taisai's departure, he doesn't even have the channels to obtain gold.
He looked at Lilia beside him and asked, "Then why are you here?"
It is not difficult to understand that Helena personally led the trade team because of Seranis' current situation, but it was a bit strange that Lilia was not in school but appeared here, and was with Seranis's team.
“The platform has already reached saturation, and I’ve completed the knowledge for the current stage of school. Helena happened to be planning to go out, so I followed her in the car.”
"So, what's the truth?"
"I have developed a new thing in the academy, and I plan to follow it out to see if there is any trade route. In addition, there is also a magic academy in Helles City, and I plan to contact them to see if I can develop a platform business."
Lilia added, "I was allowed to go out this time by Principal Muzel. He allowed me to come out and communicate with other magic academies. My performance in the communication will be treated as an entrance exam. I am not skipping classes."
"That old man ..."
Mo Cheng cursed in a low voice, why let Lilia go out at such a good time?
If the news about the supernatural dungeon in Helles City is true, then Mo Cheng will have to devote some energy to taking care of Lilia.
In supernatural mystery-type copies, many times you can't even figure out whether your teammate is the one you know.
"Oh, big brother." Lilia suddenly remembered that Mo Cheng should be in Celtic City , otherwise she wouldn't have sneaked out when Mo Cheng was away. "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing, something happened here, I don't know what it is exactly, let me take care of it."
Mo Cheng's words were very vague, but even he himself didn't know what the copy was like.
But after hearing this, Lilia looked as if she had discovered that her weekend vacation was ruined because she had to take classes. She said to Helena, "Sister Helena, why don't we go back?"
