Chapter 465 Having a Child
"It seems you've put in a lot of hard work."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou did not directly admit it, but this was tantamount to tacit agreement.
"I have Tessa's detailed information here. Just tell me if you want it or not."
Rosemary looked at Jiang Shuzhou and said.
How do I know if it's true or false?
Jiang Shuzhou doesn't trust people like Rosemary much, because he himself is that kind of person, so he naturally lacks trust in Rosemary.
"I can sign a contract, then I'll know if it's real or fake."
"So, what's the price?"
Rosemary laughed upon hearing this; she knew that Jiang Shuzhou was already interested.
"1000 Dream Crystals"
He raised an eyebrow. Although the price wasn't that high for Jiang Shuzhou, it was a bit expensive for a single piece of intelligence.
"Too expensive, I think 500 is just right."
Jiang Shuzhou was well-versed in the art of haggling, always aiming to cut prices in half.
"It's not expensive. This contains Tessa's current address, the church's development, and the coordinates of the three planes under her control. This is a valuable item. Aren't you tempted?"
Rosemary said.
"Still too expensive. How about 600 pieces?"
Jiang Shuzhou continued to try to negotiate the price.
"If you don't want to give it to me, there's another way."
Looking at Jiang Shuzhou, Rosemary smiled strangely, a sinister light flashing in her eyes.
"What method? Don't even mention making me work for you; that's not enough."
Without a doubt, if Rosemary asked Jiang Shuzhou to do something for her, Jiang Shuzhou would not agree. If he couldn't win, he would pay first, even if it was just to keep the money there and then take it back from the treasury after he conquered Caesar City.
1000 Dream Crystals may not seem like a lot, but they're not a small amount either. Jiang Shuzhou only produces a little over 1800 a month, so this is equivalent to half a month's output.
Of these, the Flesh and Blood Mother Tree accounted for the majority, with approximately 1300 being produced by it. The rest were obtained through the blood of orcs and the lives of the villagers.
The game system is still in place, but it's speculated that it will be soon.
According to Jiang Shuzhou's analysis, when a player's strength reaches a high level, the game system will automatically deactivate, and the resurrection function will no longer be usable.
Of course, the resurrection coin can still be used, but unlike before, it can no longer be used directly. Instead, you need to create a clone to use it.
Speaking of clones, Jiang Shuzhou still has one more chance to create a clone. He already has some ideas, but it's not the right time yet.
Rosemary gave Jiang Shuzhou a deep look before speaking.
"If you and I have a child, the entire empire will be yours, and then you can see this news for free."
Before Jiang Shuzhou could react, Grace immediately bristled.
"You shameless woman! You just got married today and you're already seducing my man! I think you've got a death wish!"
After saying that, Grace immediately prepared a legendary spell, intending to unleash a Sunburst on Rosemary to wipe out this filthy woman.
Chahara, lurking in the shadows, gripped his dagger tightly, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Rosemary and kill her on the spot.
"Alright, you know that's impossible."
Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, stopping Grace and telling her to disperse the spell in her hand.
That's a real shame.
Rosemary shook her head, expressing her regret.
Her willingness to co-govern the empire with Jiang Shuzhou was already a significant concession.
However, this held no appeal for Jiang Shuzhou.
If Jiang Shuzhou accepts Rosemary's proposal, he will certainly gain imperial power for a period of time, but firstly, he will have to deal with those messes, and secondly, the time will be too short.
After all, to prevent such incidents from happening, the empire required all those who married the emperor to sign a strict contract.
The content stipulated that after the emperor's death, his spouse was not allowed to interfere in politics.
However, theoretically, if one were to marry the emperor again, this rule could be circumvented.
However, it was too morally and ethically outrageous, and Jiang Shuzhou had no such idea.
"Alright, a fixed price: 800 Dream Crystals."
Jiang Shuzhou made another bid.
After a moment's thought, Rosemary finally nodded.
"make a deal."
Immediately afterwards, the two parties signed a contract, and then exchanged money for goods.
Jiang Shuzhou tossed Rosemary a large piece of dream crystal, while Rosemary gave Jiang Shuzhou a crystal ball in return.
"All of Tessa's intelligence is here."
Rosemary said.
Jiang Shuzhou showed no expression at this moment, simply putting the item away calmly.
"You bought these Dream Crystals to restore the power of the Covenant, didn't you?"
"For no reason at all," Jiang Shuzhou said.
Rosemary's muscles tensed for a moment, and her mental energy fluctuations changed in that instant. Although she quickly recovered, Jiang Shuzhou still noticed it.
It seems I was right.
Even before that, Jiang Shuzhou could sense that the power of the alliance was weakening.
Clearly, Rosemary's reckless actions did not come without a price.
The cost was a weakening of the alliance's power and a decline in the empire's control over the nobility and electors.
If this isn't addressed, a major crisis will erupt soon.
That's why Rosemary set her sights on Jiang Shuzhou.
She can certainly replenish the power of the Covenant with Dream Crystals, but you should know that these Dream Crystals have been tampered with.
Or rather, all the dream crystals were tampered with by Jiang Shuzhou, leaving behind a portion of chaotic power within them.
Of course, this is a normal phenomenon. After all, dream crystals are formed by condensing power obtained from the dream world, so naturally there will be residual chaotic power from the dream world.
However, Jiang Shuzhou simply replaced these chaotic forces with his own.
Normally, if it is a chaotic force without a master, it will not cause any harm and can be gradually dissipated.
If it had been owned at that time, things would have been different.
These chaotic forces are like bombs buried deep within the body, waiting for Jiang Shuzhou to detonate them at any moment.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Jiang Shuzhou would not detonate it.
However, the alliance with the empire is another matter entirely.
Such products of extreme order and will make excellent material for a legend.
Once Rosemary uses these dream crystals, Jiang Shuzhou will begin his plan: first, use the power of chaos to make the Covenant's self-awareness sprout, and then, war and conquest will follow.
What if she doesn't use the covenant?
That doesn't matter. The plan continues. The seed has been planted, and it will eventually sprout, it just needs more time.
Ultimately, the entire empire will be engulfed in war.
"Alright, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore."
Jiang Shuzhou gave Rosemary a way out.
