Chapter 158
night.
Basil Town.
Thanos sat on the chair, looked at Jimmy in front of him, lost in thought.
He didn't expect that this Jimmy was so decisive.
As soon as he opened the door, he said he wanted to be his subordinate.
You must know that the other party is also a second-level wizard apprentice.
Generally speaking, anyone with a bit of arrogance will not become the subordinate of apprentices at the same level.
It can feel inferior after all.
But if the other party did this, then there is a reason for doing so.
Whether it's for the magic stone or for some shady things, what I have to consider is whether to refuse or accept it.
Obviously, he never thought that there would be wizard apprentices who would take the initiative to ask to be his subordinates.
So I was not mentally prepared.
After thinking for a while.
He chose to refuse.
"Sorry, I don't accept wizard apprentices now."
Although collecting Jimmy will have a lot of benefits, such as getting an urgently needed high-end combat power.
But he did the math, and the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
Because he cannot guarantee the other party's loyalty.
Don't talk about vows or contracts or anything.
Loyalty, that's just not enough weight for betrayal.
And if you really accept the other party as your younger brother, you will have to provide the other party with meditation and research resources every month, as well as a research room and so on.
What's more, the opponent is not from the undead system.
Why should I accept the other party.
Jimmy raised his head in disbelief when he heard Thanos' refusal.
You know, he made a lot of determination to leave James, who was a third-level wizard apprentice, and join Thanos, who was only a second-level wizard apprentice.
But unexpectedly, it was rejected.
This is simply a great insult.
Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned red and blue.
But he didn't dare to attack in the end, he just asked wearily: "Why?"
Thanos shook his head, and said calmly, "I'm just a second-level wizard apprentice."
Hearing this, Jimmy's face finally eased a little.
It turned out that the opponent knew his own strength and could not control him.
Although he also knew that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but he could only comfort himself in this way.
"Okay, since this is the case, I would like to ask, if you can refine the magic stone for me, the cost will be % of the previously set fee."
Thanos nodded, and said: "Yes, but you have to transport it to Tirami Town yourself. It is estimated that it will take a month to build a refinery in Basil Town."
Refining ore will pollute the environment, not to mention magic stone, an ore full of magic power.
Naturally, he couldn't refine magic stones in Menghua Town, as this would pollute the growth of Menghua grass and the output of food.
So it is the best choice to put it in Tirami Town, not to mention that there are natural workers, stone people.
Of course, it doesn't take a month to build a new stone refinery in Bazhi'er Town, but the ownership of Bazhi'er Town has not yet been decided, so he is naturally not in such a hurry to build it.
When Jimmy heard that he was going to take the magic stone mine to Tirami Town by himself, his expression turned bitter.
He has no territory and no subordinates, which means that he can only pull the carriage to Tirami Town by himself.
But he couldn't say anything, so he could only leave the laboratory in great disappointment.
And Thanos came out of the window, looking at Jimmy's leaving back, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know whether this Jimmy really wanted to be his subordinate, or whether he wanted to break into his own forces.
I am now invincible in the Survivor Alliance, so there is no need to add unstable factors to myself.
After a while, Malika was not seen for a while, and slowly transformed into a figure behind him.
"grown ups."
Thanos didn't look back, and asked, "How's the situation around? Are there any movements from them?"
Malika took out a piece of paper and said respectfully, "My lord, this is the latest map I drew."
She does not have Basil town war, because she is scouting the surrounding situation.
And it was an in-depth investigation, at least within a range of more than 100 kilometers.
Thanos took the map and began to check it.
On the map, Zixi Town, Menghua Town, Tirami Town, Sloan Town, and even the entire Survivor Alliance are all in the small upper left corner.
And below and to the right, there are quite a few small towns and cities.
In addition to Cobra City, there are Biyou City, Fire Forest City and Zhiluo City.
They have a population of 16, 12 and 8 respectively.
These three cities are located in the southwest of Cobra City, firmly blocking the attacks of the natives.
There are more than 30 small towns in the middle, which act as a buffer zone.
Of course, there are not many resources and indigenous people in this direction, so it is still safe, and there are not many soldiers guarding the city.
And Biyou City, which is located in the most southwest corner, is still under the banner of Black Leaf Tower.
It's no wonder that apart from sending troops over at the beginning, the Giant Snake Tower was still an aborigine who belonged to the slaves, and they didn't beat themselves anymore.
It turned out that there were still bigger bones left ungnawed.
If this news is given to Mary and the rest of the survivors, I don't know what will happen.
At this time, Malika continued: "My lord, James, Aibeier and Volgan have been looking for Miss Mary these days. As for what they are talking about, I don't know."
She was just a banshee, not a wizard, so she couldn't get close to them, and naturally she didn't know what to talk about.
Thanos nodded and continued to think about Biyou City.
The fact that Biyou City can not be captured by the Giant Snake Tower shows that its own strength is very strong, and it is guarded by at least a second-level wizard, or even a third-level wizard.
If Mary and other wizard apprentices knew about it, they would definitely send messengers immediately, or go there by themselves.
Especially Jimmy, who was looking for him tonight, probably ran over tomorrow.
The best choice, of course, is to hide the news.
But
Why bother.
Suddenly, a plan slowly appeared in Thanos' mind.
Then he and Marika started whispering.
It's time for the second day.
Thanos called an alliance meeting.
James, Abel, and Wolganoff didn't show up, just sent representatives.
Thanos was not surprised by this, but he didn't expect that even Mary didn't come over, which made him even more dissatisfied with this woman.
At the current alliance meeting he convenes, there are only Jimmy wizard apprentices and a few representatives. Even if there is something, those representatives cannot make a decision.
Obviously, this is James, Ai Belle and Walganoff and Mary, giving themselves a blow.
The meaning is nothing more than to warn myself not to want to become the leader of the Survivor Alliance.
Seeing this, Thanos had no intention of holding a meeting, and simply asked those representatives to inform their respective wizard apprentices that Bazhier Town was under his own control.
Let the opponent's soldiers withdraw from Bazhir Town, and at the same time, he will send more soldiers over.
After all, after having the magic stone during this period of time, Ai Ruoke in the rear is fully producing undead troops.
Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Generals, Zombies, and Ghouls all have more than 100 output per day.
So his confidence is naturally enough.
