Sign In: Becoming A Great Spell Deity Starting From The Magic Academy - Chapter 415

Chapter 415: A Mob

“It doesn’t matter. You just need to know that your interests will be guaranteed.”

“That’s what I’m going to ask. How do you guarantee my interests?”

Seeing Karman ask this question with a straight face, Lei Luo could not help but laugh again.

“Karman, I’m starting to feel that you do have a talent for business.”

Lei Luo smiled and said casually, “As long as you sign it, this Dragon God fleet and all the fleets under East God will be reorganized by you. You can use regular officers from the senate, you can hire your trusted aides, and you can establish a complete command system that only listens to your orders. Not only can you use your own dividends to maximize the expansion of this fleet, but after you apply for it, the guild will also support you in expanding this fleet.”

Lei Luo’s words caused Karman to be silent for a long time. After a long time, he asked, “Do you know what this means?”

Having a fleet that only listened to his orders was a path that any warlord would want to take and acquire.

And Lei Luo’s words almost meant that he wanted to turn Karman into a real warlord.

Lei Luo smiled, curled the corners of his mouth, and asked in return. “What do you think?”

“Do you trust me that much?” Karman asked in disbelief.

“Why not?” Lei Luo smiled again and asked in return.

“We’ve only known each other for a week. Before today’s conversation, we didn’t have more than 30 conversations. Don’t you feel uneasy that you’ve given such an important power to me so quickly?”

Karman frowned and turned his head with a troubled expression. It seemed that he was really troubled by Lei Luo’s completely disorganized way of doing things.

“A week? Hehe…” Lei Luo laughed.

“Back then, when Morton, Allie, and I decided to work together, we had only known each other for a day. The time I spent observing you was seven times longer than theirs.”

When Lei Luo said this, he pointed at the two words that flickered in the air. “As for Commander Zha Mu, he views me as his enemy. He’s the same as you. Not only is he a member of the guild, but he’ll also maintain his own fleet. The guild will also give him additional ships and troops as appropriate. “I don’t need to worry about him. What do you think your current situation is worth?”

Karman was truly confused. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he did not know what to say. It seemed that nothing he said was appropriate.

“A motley crew…Do you really want to say these words?”

Lei Luo straightened his originally casual body and stared straight at Karman.

Although he still had a faint smile on his face, behind that smile, there was an unconscious sense of pity and disapproval.

This made Karman feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, like a cold current that had not been predicted, making him feel uncomfortable and stunned.

As if realizing that his casual attitude had made Karman unhappy, Lei Luo lowered his head and walked to the other end of the command room three to four meters away from Karman.

“Karman, in your opinion, how should you investigate a person?”

“Listen to his words, observe his actions, and observe his personality.”

“How long will you have to investigate before you can determine whether a person can be trusted?”

“If it’s a low-level position, it will take at least a year. If It’s a big job, it will take at least ten years.”

Lei Luo nodded, crossed his hands behind his back, and continued to walk.

“If I had done it a hundred years earlier, I would have told you what I would have done. I would have joined a well-known lord and become an officer. Then, I would have used twenty years to accumulate battle achievements, wealth, and reputation. In another twenty years, I would have established my own network and organization. After that, I would have been able to establish my own family and become a lord. Then, I would have joined an alliance that was neither too big nor too small. I will use thirty years to fight for this alliance. During this process, I will not only expand my own strength, but I will also expand my own team. I will also train a perfect system of officer selection and reserve officers. After that, I will usurp the position of alliance leader. In the next thirty years, I will use military, diplomatic, commercial, and other means to maximize my strength. At the same time, I will accumulate enough allies. When everything is completed, I will sit quietly in my study and wait for the chaotic world to come.”

At this point, Lei Luo suddenly changed the topic.

“However, not only has it not been 10 years…it hasn’t even been a year. Speaking of the worst, it is likely that it hasn’t even been a month. At this time, moving forward slowly is equivalent to courting death.”

“Not even a month? Is time that tight?”

It was not that Karman had not noticed the information that Lei Luo knew.

However, because he was not trusted by King Beichen and did not have a good relationship with the other suzerains, he did not have any concrete information.

This also caused him to misjudge the situation. From his point of view, the large-scale unrest in the empire would probably take another ten years, or at the very least, five years.

Lei Luo did not answer him. He only handed the meeting records that Ulysses had given him to Karman.

“Listen to it for yourself. See if I’m exaggerating or not.”

Karman received the meeting records from Lei Luo with doubt. After reading for less than three minutes, he hurriedly flipped to the end.

When he saw the final outcome of the meeting, a strange smile appeared on Karman’s face.

That smile seemed to be filled with disbelief, but it also seemed to be saying that it was as he had expected.

“This is why Prince Ulysses chose me as his ally…Because he didn’t have the time to choose a better ally than me?”

“Similarly, the reason why I chose these people, including you, to become my teammate was also because I didn’t have the time. He and I are the same. Anyone above the standard is a precious asset for us. We are not qualified to be picky. We must unite every such person and make the best of them.”

Kalman shook his head disapprovingly.

“But even if everyone, including me, listens to your arrangements and stays together for the time being…”

“However, such unity is always temporary. The rabble is, after all, a mob. Unless you can bring it unexpected victories time and time again, it won’t be long before the team falls apart.”
