Use the XP System To Build the Devil City

At first, it was because Li Muran was able to honor White in front of envoys from various countries. It is because it can bring benefits to him that White is enthusiastic about Li Muran.

Now that the tournament is over, White is still unwilling to believe Li Muran, an outsider.

His cronies are always those who are related to him by blood, or who have always followed him.

Work is still rigorous.

Speech and demeanor show arrogance and contempt for others.

When you are needed, you are treated as a human being, when you are not needed, you are not as good as the weeds on the side of the road.

It looks like some big bosses in Li Muran's original world.

Not only did the White City Council's attitude not make Li Muran unhappy, but it was in line with Li Muran's wishes.

It's better to say that if he treats him too well, Li Muran will feel embarrassed to deal with White later.

With official documents, Li Muran became an official.

Not to mention being able to enter and leave the palace afterwards, he also formally took over the land of 'Yo Twist Village'.

Leaving from White, Li Muran walked around the palace by the way.

Can clearly feel the anxious atmosphere.

It seems that what the Demon King Sect said in the email that White has done a lot of things should be correct.

Things became more and more troublesome, to the point where Li Muran had to intervene in person.

Li Muran walked around the palace, and did not choose the route to leave the palace directly.

Instead, he took a long detour and took an insignificant route.

This is also the information provided by the Demon King Sect.

If you take this route, if you are lucky, you may not meet the person you want to see.

Although it can also be done by the devil's teaching, isn't the matter becoming more urgent?

Li Muran felt that it would be better to meet the other party in person, as he could talk about the core topics directly, and things could unfold faster.

But as mentioned above, you have to be 'lucky' to encounter it.

So Li Muran didn't have high expectations for the success of the matter.

Visiting the palace, adding a new experience of another world is the main thing, and meeting people and doing things is incidental.

Anyway, I still can't get too motivated about human affairs.

Just when Li Muran was thinking about where to refer to the architectural style of the palace, and then set it up in his own Demon King City, he ran into an acquaintance head-on.

"Hi. See you again."

The other party took the initiative to call Li Muran to stop.

Li Muran naturally knew each other.

The other party was the old general who always followed Ba-Wang.

"Remember to call it."

"Hey, I'm a general anyway. Since you're an official, please remember the name of your boss. My name is Karl. I'm in charge of the Royal Knights. I'm the head of the Royal Knights of Bastola."

The old general patted his chest with his hands and introduced himself to Li Muran.

"Hello, General Carl."

Li Muran just nodded casually, and responded with a lack of interest.

"You actually showed an annoyed expression about remembering your boss's name. You're still the same."

Instead of being angry with Li Muran's attitude, Karl laughed instead.

It's not the name of a beautiful woman.

Who would be interested in the old man's name.

Besides, Li Muran already knew about the other party's situation.

Under the secret operation of the Demon King's Sect, this little thing in the palace is almost inseparable.

Li Muran understands factions, interests, and even emotional relationships. Whose wife has done anything wrong with others.

The lack of interest shown here is simply not interested in the old information that has been learned.

It's more to mobilize the other party's emotions.

Let the other party be interested in Li Muran

There is an attitude gap, just like in a passionate love, the one who is always pursued is more beneficial.

In this way, in the subsequent conversations, Li Muran can secretly take the lead and lead the topic.

This is a technique for gaining more benefits for one's own company during the first meeting when one's own position is not as high as the other's.

It is a common saying used by business people.

"I haven't changed? I don't understand what your lord means? We should have a conversation for the first time. Although we met at the celebration banquet of the tournament, we haven't spoken yet."

Li Muran continued to pretend to be stupid, leading Karl to take the initiative to continue the topic.

"You guys still want to be perfunctory. Do you want me to point it out? When you were leaving Baka outside the city, didn't you chat with me disguised as a civilian once?"

Li Muran showed a suddenly realized expression.

"Yes. And that time."

"Are you kidding me? Play stupid on purpose and let me talk more."

"No, no. It's just that I simply forgot. The image of Lord Karl who was wearing makeup at that time was different from the image now. I didn't recognize it as the same person at once."

"Forget it. Let it be like this. Congratulations on becoming an official."

"Thank you, Lord Carl."

The conversation went well, a simple hello led to so many conversations.

People are always more willing to trust people they have come into contact with.

With so many dialogues, although they are all meaningless content.

But in Carl's mind, it was easier to accept Li Muran than to accept an outsider he had never met before.

The next step is to ramble and continue to draw closer.

"Speaking of this incident, I have always been very curious. Why did Lord Karl make up as a commoner? Did he want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Lord Karl also likes such plots."

Carl looked at Li Muran, frowned, and did not directly answer Li Muran's question.

"You guys, are you really not trusted by White? That's right. The situation has become more and more serious recently. He only trusts his confidants. You just joined in, so it is impossible to get too much trust."

The implication is that the newcomer Li Muran, who was suddenly promoted in his official career, still doesn't know about the factional struggle in Bastola.

He was not accepted by White, and he was not informed of his relationship with Ba Wang, so naturally he did not know the reason why General Carl pretended to be a civilian.

How could Li Muran not know that General Carl pretended to be a civilian to avoid White's eyes and ears?

At that time, Li Muran had already guessed one or two before he took over the mess of the Devil Sect, and told Howard and Bella about his guess during the trip, which shocked Howard for a hundred years.

Li Muran deliberately raised these questions following Carl's topic.

The purpose is not to get an answer from Carl's mouth, but to take the opportunity to express his position.

It implies that he has not been trusted by White and has not joined White's camp.

In this way, Karl's trust can be gained and the relationship can be further shortened.

"General Carl? What do you mean? Lord White doesn't trust me? Why doesn't he trust me? I just received the appointment of the lord from Lord White. At the celebration banquet of the tournament, Lord White also admired me very much. I I'm a newcomer and don't know anything yet, please don't make fun of me, my lord."

Li Muran continued to talk nonsense with hypocrisy.

The show is all acting, no emotion at all.

But Li Muran is still confident that his acting skills are better than those cut-offs.

Even though Li Muran's performance was extremely fake, Karl still believed it.

The old general patted Li Muran's shoulder, showing a helpless and painful expression.

"Since we met last time, I have wanted to see you again. I have been deeply impressed by your intelligence and fighting power, and I admire you very much. The results of this martial arts tournament have proved your strength even more. I It's not surprising at all. If you follow the normal development, you will definitely be able to show your talents and make a big career."

"It's a pity that the current situation is very complicated. Even a young talent like you, whom I recognize, can't understand the dangers of factional struggles. This kind of thing is still too difficult for you who have just entered this circle."

Karl lamented the current world, and lamented that talented young people were caught in the vortex of power struggle.

I lament that the wicked are in power, and young people have not given full play to their original opportunities and cannot achieve their ambitions.

It can be seen that Karl's dissatisfaction has been accumulated for a long time.

Taking advantage of Li Muran's topic, he made complaints about it.

Carl's emotions were mobilized, and Li Muran naturally wanted to go down the slope and say something in cooperation with Carl.

At this time, two people dressed as paladins came over. Carl immediately signaled Li Muran with his eyes to stop talking.

One of the two paladins was officially Joseph's direct subordinate, the female paladin who was defeated by Li Muran in the tournament for the reason of testing the strength of the paladin.

When passing by, the other party glared at Li Muran with fierce eyes that wished he could directly draw his sword and pierce Li Muran's heart.

Li Muran complained in his heart.

Is it okay to expose such a strong killing intent in a sensitive place like the palace?

This contemptuous attitude did not respect Baratos as a foreign country at all.

At the same time, because of the long-lost meeting, Li Muran remembered the touch of the other party's chest.

Compared with Bella and Tinarly's, it's still not as strong.

Can't help frowning.

Karl probably took Li Muran's reaction as Li Muran was scared.

Take the initiative to comfort Li Muran.

"It's okay. If you don't provoke them, they won't do anything to you here."

After the paladin left, Li Muran asked Karl curiously.

"Paladins? Aren't they representatives of the holy kingdom? Could it be that Bastola also applied for the assistance of the paladins?"

"There is no such thing. There have always been applications in the past. But because Bastola is a poor country, the Holy Kingdom has never responded to us. Now they are sending them here on their own initiative, but not because of Bawang's application. It was Lord White who invited them here without the permission of the king of a country, but blatantly entered and left the palace at will, and Yan Ran regarded this place as their territory. These arrogant bastards even call themselves righteous."

Carl said viciously, hesitant to speak.

It seemed that he realized that he couldn't continue talking.

Karl did not fully trust Li Muran either.

However, no matter whether Carl continues to speak or not, Li Muran's desired effect has been achieved.

Carl doesn't say anything about the latter content, but Li Muran knows it too. Perhaps more than Carl knew.

To keep listening is to waste time.

Li Muran didn't bother to listen.

Noticing that Karl didn't want to continue the topic, Li Muran hurriedly changed the conversation.

"Master Karl, there are too many people here. Do you want to change the place and talk about some light topics? It's hard to meet again. This time, as a colleague, I should be able to have a lot to say with Mr. Karl."

"Suddenly invited me? What do you mean?"

"No particular meaning. I just want to bribe the adults. Isn't it common sense for a newcomer to take office and bribe the leader?"

"Who has anyone directly said the bribe?"

Karl had just finished complaining excitedly, and then he calmed down after noticing the eyes of others. Then, the smile of a grandpa pampering his grandson once again appeared on his face.

"Hahaha. You guys are really interesting. No wonder you left a deep impression on me when we met for the first time. Okay, okay. Let me see how you bribe me."

"If my bribe can satisfy the adults."

"Hey, does this mean that you still want to blackmail me?"

"No. I won't threaten adults. I just hope that adults can recognize me and be friends with me."

"Being friends? Hahaha. You always surprise me. Understood. As long as your bribes satisfy me, I will be friends with you. Maybe this is the result I want."

Carl was happy and patted Li Muran's shoulder.

Li Muran also pushed down his glasses, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

White's eyeliner is everywhere.

So Karl took Li Muran to the barracks of the Royal Knights outside the palace.

The Royal Knights were stationed not far from the palace, fortunately, when something happened to Ba Wang, they could respond immediately.

Because the Royal Knights have always belonged to the king's personal guards, the oath of allegiance is not the country but the king himself, and only accepts the king's orders, which also makes the Royal Knights' camp the only place White cannot set foot in.

White has always regarded the Royal Knights, Ba Wang's last barrier, as a thorn in his side, and he often came up with crooked ideas to toss the Knights.

Although the Royal Knights could not be pulled out directly, it was still under Karl's control.

However, under the baptism of White's various tricks, the Royal Knights suffered a huge blow, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Many weak-willed people have been bought and betrayed their vows.

As a result, the number of the Royal Knights has reached the lowest level in history, with only more than 30 people left.

With such a number of people, it is more appropriate to say that it is a knight squad than a knight order.

The status quo of the Knights also reflects the current political situation in Bastola.

It is the epitome of the strength comparison between Bawang and White.

Li Muran knew all this from the report of the Demon King Sect, but Li Muran just didn't say it.

Pretending to be an ignorant person, while curiously looking at the surrounding scenery, he followed Karl into the Knights' barracks.

After entering the general's room of the Knights, Li Muran chatted with Karl.

Both of them had scruples, so they talked about irrelevant topics.

From the first time I saw Li Muran, I admired Li Muran and thought Li Muran was a talent.

Li Muran also knew about Karl's information from the Demon King Sect, and knew about Karl's personality, so he had a good impression of this old general.

So although it was small talk, the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

Then when it came to the bribe, Karl joked and asked Li Muran to take out the bribe.

At this time, Li Muran was empty-handed, and Karl just made this joke because he felt that Li Muran couldn't offer anything to bribe him.

But Li Muran said naturally that there was no problem.

Let Carl wait in the room for a while, and leave the room temporarily.

Open Baidu Cloud, and take out the grain wine that the Demon King Army just started to brew, the spicy rabbit meat made from Leijiao rabbit meat, the cold dishes made from fresh vegetables, and the stir-fried dishes made by Bella.
