Chapter 369 Conversation
"Dafo.∈∆Dafos?" Stannis whispered his subordinate's name in uncertainty. He did not dare to move. Although he wanted to push away the long sword, the coldness on the sharp weapon made his neck feel cold and even a little stinging.
Davos didn't speak or respond, Stannis couldn't see his expression, but Davos's sword was still crossing his neck.
Yi Xiao smiled, and the silent magic removed Davos' control. The next moment, he felt as if he suddenly woke up from a dream, and his body was shocked to restore the Qingming Festival.
Realizing his actions at this time, Davos hurriedly took the sword off Stannis' neck.
Stannis, who had no threat, breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace. Although it was just a long sword, facing the threat of death also made Stannis sweat in a cold sweat.
Davos was anxiously trying to say something, "Your Majesty..." But Yi Xiao interrupted him.
"Don't blame Davos," he said to Stannis, "on my head."
Faced with the fearless Yi Xiao, Stannis forced out a smile stiffly. As a king, Stannis was still very good at understanding the current affairs.
Even if we have to take revenge in the future, it will be a matter for the future. At least the strength of the two is not equal at present, and reckless collisions are not rational.
"Well... It seems that you have a lot of things." Stannis already knew that force did not have much effect, and might even counter threatening him. So he simply extended his olive branch again, and even chose to ignore what had happened before.
"It's true." Yi Xiao also smiled. Since the other party chose to be confused, he was happy. After all, he also had his plans. "Do you need to try other things?"
"Then there is no need." Stannis smiled, "Fruit Wine?" he asked, because he had noticed that Yi Xiao was only interested in the fruit on the table.
The food in the Song of Ice and Fire is not very attractive to Yi Xiao. The legendary food of another world does not exist here at all. The food they made, lacking spices and hygiene concepts, is definitely comparable to the old medieval Europe, and is completely abstract.
There are only a few typical simple foods that cannot be simple, such as pies, toasts, etc. They cannot play with any weird tricks, but it is worth mentioning that the fruits in the world of ice and fire are still very good, after all, Ersos belongs to the subtropical region.
After waved his hand to reject Stannis' kindness, Yi Xiao decided to get to the point soon. Although he already had a small amount of soul energy and could understand most of the feelings, his aberration in strength also made him unable to pay attention.
It’s so wonderful to have feelings. In the past, Yi Xiao only considered what he should do in order to get the result, and did not consider his own behavior or the acceptance of it by others. So his life was like one task after another. It was boring and full of crowds.
He can learn to judge the emotional changes of human beings through the Internet and books, and distinguish whether they are angry or happy. But he cannot understand them or taste them, so the world is very complicated in Yi Xiao's eyes, even strange and full of mystery.
Only by experiencing feelings personally can you understand what joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are like only by experiencing loss of souls in person can you know how terrible the walking corpse is.
Feelings cannot be described in words, only experience them personally. Now Yi Xiao has understood many things that he couldn't understand before, and also tried to consider other factors while achieving his goals.
Although it was a little troublesome and slower, and sometimes even made Yi Xiao crazy and wanted to return to a soulless state, it has to be said that the world has become interesting and full of colors.
Because the most interesting thing in this world is the relationship between people and the relationship between society. Humans are a kind of social animal, and people need people.
"I need a population." Yi Xiao said, throwing a bunch of grapes into his mouth, which is a specialty of ice and fire. It is very sweet. Although it looks like grapes, it is not a pulp, but a watery juice, just like the feeling of a biting eyeball in his mouth, especially after the ice is cold, the taste is better. "I need you to provide a lot of manpower."
Stannis did not rush to answer. He lowered his head and calculated, looked at his palm, and then hesitated, "If this is the condition you offered, you need to hold some memorials and something. Although I don't have many people, I can still try to squeeze out some."
In fact, in the eyes of aristocrats like Stannis, especially the kings, low-class untouchables and enemies were not even considered humans. He could provide a large number of prisoners of war or innocent poor people, and he was just used to bargaining.
"No, you're wrong." Yi Xiao said, "This kind of offer is not a one-time, but it's a long-term one. At first, I don't need many people, but then there will be more and more. This is not the condition for me to be loyal to you or help you, but my request."
Stannis' eyebrows frowned slightly, and the action was slightly unaware, and even Winnie did not notice it. Although Yi Xiao felt it, he didn't care because he knew that the other party could not refuse the conditions he offered.
"Ge..." Stannis was interrupted by Yi Xiao as soon as he spoke.
"As you said, you don't have much staff, and with that in mind, I prefer to think of this offer as an equivalent exchange."
Yi Xiao is not unaware of Westeros’ situation. There are a large number of homeless robbers and robbers, and remote villages that are unattended are often the targets of looting by the nobles.
These are the sources of the population, but it is impossible for him to do it himself or catch people. It will take a lot of time and energy, so why not use a simpler method?
"What...equivalent exchange?" Stannis' wisdom beyond the ordinary people of this era made him understand this word, and it was precisely because of his understanding of this word that he was curious about the things contained in the exchange.
"Army." Yi Xiao replied.
"You provide me with a large population, regardless of gender, age, I will use my magic and other means to transform them. The wings of giant vultures, the eyes of eagles, the skin of chameleons. They will no longer be humans, but a kind of monster. As for the sacrifices and sacrifices, are you kidding?"
Looking at Stannis who was gasping for air conditioning, Yi Xiao continued to say calmly, "There will be failed products and defective products, but in the end they will form a scale, and it will be extremely powerful, an army."
"I will hand them over to you, and you will test their strengths. I don't care about how to test the test methods. I am only responsible for making the most complete creatures."
