NOVEL NEXT Chapter 157 Genius
"And during one of their operations for the House of Haukt, that person betrayed their clues to the player Ander Poole, who was working for the hostile Volantis party at the time.
Subsequently, Gini Taimei's gang suffered a fatal blow during the operation that night, and he and one of his allies were killed on the spot. "Ian paused, and thoughtfully helped Celia wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, and then continued,
“This incident was both a good thing and a bad thing for the last black man who was not in the gang at the time and had already cleared his identity in another place.
The advantage is that she enjoys the contributions of her allies in vain without having to do anything in return, and she no longer has to worry about future internal strife with two allies who fully know her true identity.
The disadvantage is that her identity does not allow her to create a career on her own in the patriarchal society of ice and fire. She must find a new sword.
And soon, she found a very suitable candidate. But the problem was that she had no basis of trust with this person, and she did not dare to rashly form an alliance with him, so she needed to find other ways to achieve her goals.
This little Heizi is really smart, and she quickly found a way...guess what? "
Celia couldn't even fake a smile now, and there was only fear in her eyes.
"Then." Seeing that she was silent, Ian spoke again.
"Enough!" Celia screamed, stretching out her hands to try to push Ian away, but was forced back to the table again.
"What, do you understand this time?" Ian smiled.
Only then did Celia realize her gaffe. She could only stiffen her neck and defend herself: "I'm just fed up with your inexplicable stories. I'm Prince Hazan's sister! You can't do this to me."
"Are you not convinced? Or are you still taking chances, thinking that I am not sure about these things? Or maybe you don't dare to kill you." Ian leaned down again, and his noses were almost nose to nose with hers.
"I just..." Celia wanted to defend, but when she saw the sudden fierceness in Ian's eyes, she trembled and closed her mouth again.
"I just" she took a long time to speak again, smiling sadly, "I just don't understand how someone could say such vicious words at such a time."
"You drugged the incense burner, you can't blame me for that," Ian said without stopping, "There was no such part in my plan."
"I just want to marry you." Celia showed a pitiful expression and reached out to touch Ian's face, but was gently slapped away by Ian.
That's why God's system mission determines that you will not pose a danger to me! Ian cursed.
"Yes, you want to marry me, Prince Hazan, but you are eager to establish a more solid alliance with me, so you hit it off immediately and let him pretend that you are his sister, so that both of you can achieve your goals.
At the same time, it almost completely eliminates the suspicion that you are a player.
In this way, you can marry me as an aborigine. As long as my alliance with Hazan continues, you can always keep a place by my side, share my title, understand my plans, and use my power. .
The point is, sleep in my bed and choose to backstab me whenever you see fit. Which man in the world can escape the assassination of his own wife? "At the end of the sentence, Ian almost roared.
"And because there is no covenant between us, you will not be bound by the alliance mechanism. Not only will you not be deducted a point if you kill me, you can also directly inherit all my points and system resources and act as my wife." Inherit all the power I have established," Ian pinched Celia's chin so hard that he almost crushed it, but finally said, "You are really a fucking genius."
What kind of idiot could come up with such a plan?
Indeed, in a social structure like ice and fire, male and female players form an alliance, and use the female player's advantage in shaping the face and control of the original work to cling to a selected original target in order to achieve rapid development. A textbook style of routine gameplay.
If Ian's two promised allies had not dropped out, Ian would have followed this path as well.
But changing your identity to marry a certain player and then waiting to harvest him? When Ian first deduced Celia's purpose, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"I have never thought about the last item," Celia certainly couldn't admit that kind of thing. "I just want to get along with you for a while and build trust before I form an alliance with you."
"You can say whatever you want about the future that can no longer be verified." Although Ian didn't believe it, he still let go of his hand and left her body.
Celia finally had a chance to breathe. She coughed violently, and then gasped.
"What are you going to do with me? No," she asked, and the next moment she shook her head, "You won't do anything with me. If you were here to kill me, you wouldn't waste your time talking to me so much, at least You're not going to come here today and tell me you discovered the truth.
After I marry you, you have countless ways to kill me. As you said, we have no alliance, so the system will neither protect you nor me.
By that time, my identity has been revealed. In your eyes, I am just a clown. You are a knife and I am a fish.
So, you are telling me this now because I am still of value to you, right? Do you need me to do something that only I can do for you right now? "
"You scare me, honey, and maybe being too smart sometimes isn't a good thing." Ian smacked his lips.
"The time for me to make you afraid has long passed. Now it is me who should be afraid, and as a player who can reach the top 30, you want me to play a little white flower for you? Yes, I know most of them Men all like that kind," Celia showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"But you are different. I believe that if I act a little stupider and make you feel that I cannot bring you any value, you will break my neck the next moment."
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" she continued, "and I'm curious, what means do you plan to use to ensure my loyalty?"
"The alliance, of course, is in the form of your surrender to me." Ian said.
Celia was startled.
Ian actually thought about this for a long time, and finally made this decision mainly based on three reasons.
First, in his next plan, Celia will play an indispensable role, and Celia needs to move freely, so he must let Celia actively provide help to him.
Second, Celia is smart enough. Even with the most critical eyes, she has the qualifications to be her ally. To be honest, Ian has been troubled by the problem of not having allies for too long since entering Pentos.
At this stage of the game, the enemies he faces are almost all players' allies, and the opponents behind him are definitely more powerful than the last. If he doesn't find allies, his subsequent important plans will have to be completed by NPCs who don't fully understand his intentions, which will be too restrictive.
Third, he and Celia have no other allies now, and he can accept the ultimate benefits of their alliance.
Fourth, and most importantly, the covenant he gave to Celia was conditional on the surrender. Different from when he was still at the Crossroads Inn, at this stage, which player does not have dozens of points in hand? The cost of deducting all points when a surrender is backstabbed is unacceptable to anyone.
And as time goes by, this price will become heavier and heavier, and the alliance between players will become stronger and stronger.
Basically, only when the victory conditions are finally met - when some players disagree with the declaration of victory, there is the possibility of another internal conflict. After all, the alliance is automatically broken at that time for free.
"If I can't give you a guarantee that I won't kill you after using you," Ian continued, "I'm afraid someone like you won't be able to work for me with peace of mind, right? So I allow you to kneel down and surrender to me. .
You should know very well that if you betray me, all your points will be deducted according to the alliance mechanism. Now that the number of players has not dropped below 30, clearing your points means you will be assassinated by the Faceless Man at the end of the month, and you will definitely die.
And I will also be bound by the alliance mechanism. You know that I have a lot of points and cannot afford to backstab you. "
"Deal." Celia agreed without hesitation. She knew how restrictive the alliance mechanism was to players like Ian who were eligible to compete for ranking rewards.
This is indeed enough to be a reassurance.
Immediately, the two opened the alliance function scan in the system, and then formed an alliance face to face.
Then an email was sent to their mailboxes.
[The alliance between Player 6 and Player 37 is reached
Status No. 6: Allies
Status No. 37: Surrender]
At the same time, the alliance toolbar on the Ian system interface has also changed due to the achievement of the alliance, and two sub-toolbars have appeared, [Alliance Tasks] and [Resource Sharing].
"Why are you looking at me like that? We have already formed an alliance. You can't force me to share resources with you, otherwise it will be counted as a backstab." After saying this, Celia's momentum weakened a bit, "Of course, if If you need it, I can give it to you as a sign of my sincerity."
"No," Ian didn't intend to be so greedy at the beginning, "What I want to say is that we can start discussing the next plan. Now, tell me everything you know about the Hazan plan."
"Perhaps, you can tell me first how you found out the truth? Let me know where the little Heizi exposed his chicken feet." Perhaps because the alliance mechanism gave Celia a sense of security, she said half-jokingly .
