Chapter 678 Requesting the Core

Depending on his position, Mu Hua discovered that rulers might be the most meaningless existence in this world.

Order has always existed, and the rulers have mostly added some links within the order that are beneficial to themselves.

And order will never disappear with the disappearance of the ruler, because when the ruler disappears, there will naturally be people who want to become new rulers.

It is said that history is written by the victors, and these victors, without exception, have extremely tacit commonalities in certain aspects.

That is, when a ruler is lost or replaced, there will inevitably be endless chaos and cruelty.

Not to mention trying to ascend the throne of the ruler, even those who are capable or ambitious enough to take advantage of the power transition, are they stupid?

The Lord of the Courtyard of the Dead was pushed away by humans, the projection did not disappear, and the maze area did not appear, which means that humans did not obtain the core of the courtyard.

When the Lord of the Courtyard lost power, the Courtyard of the Undead did not fall into the chaotic disorder that people had imagined.

On the contrary, the more powerful monsters in the courtyard would pay more attention to their subordinates than before, provide more benefits to them, and improve the treatment of their recruited subordinates, even though there were some undead monsters among them.

Dividing the land and governing it, occupying the city and defending it, plus an exploration and observation, intending to wait for an opportunity to act, these are basically the current situations of the Courtyard of the Dead.

To be honest, as far as the order in various places is concerned, at least at this stage, the order in various places is even more stable than when the Lord of the Courtyard was here.

At the same time, in the original Demon King area where Dandelion was stationed, some monster forces sent personnel to meet with Dandelion, showing some intention of surrendering. Among them, the majority were liches from the Jigu Mountains.

It cannot be said that they coexist peacefully, but most of these forces are willing to not invade each other with Dandelion.

If you can't find the core of the courtyard, then you keep looking. We won't bother each other. If you need to search on our territory, we will provide some cooperation.

We found the core of the courtyard, and the maze area appeared. Since we have been cooperating, we will stay in the maze area from now on. Don't come to dig our nest whenever you have nothing to do. . .

Well, this is probably the demand of those monster forces. Everything is basically a verbal agreement and can’t be taken too seriously. Moreover, everyone is accumulating strength. What will happen in the future will also depend on the time and circumstances. In the end, it still depends on their respective needs.

Mu Hua did not get the core of the courtyard. Without the core of the courtyard, he really had no way to deal with Occam.

He finally understood why most of the people who came to the human world to open courtyards were Hell Lords. Not only did the Hell Lords have strong survival abilities and were difficult to detain, they also had a strong ability to commit suicide.

When Occam gave up and didn't care about his own life or death, and couldn't find the core of the courtyard, Mu Hua fell into a weird rhythm of not being able to hit him, scold him, coax him, but not wanting him to die.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want in exchange for handing over the core of the courtyard? As long as your request is not too excessive, I will do my best to satisfy you." Mu Hua said to Occam in the ruins that were being renovated after the Demon King's Castle was occupied by Dandelions.

"Excessive? Ha, human, there is something wrong with what you said, because your request is already excessive enough." Although no one was guarding him, Occam did not make any resistance in front of Mu Hua.

He knew that resisting and struggling would not gain him any advantage at the hands of Mu Hua, and he also knew that Mu Hua did not want to kill him.

Because if he is not killed, they can still negotiate. But if he is killed, when he comes again, Mu Hua will not know where he will come, and he will then become a bigger trouble for Mu Hua.

"You are robbers, do you know that? Robbers!"

"I am still the master of the courtyard. Handing over the core of the courtyard is equivalent to losing everything here. Is it too much? Haha, tell me, what request is considered excessive?" Occam sneered.

"That's enough. I also said that you courtyard masters are all scammers. You just want humans to come to your door, but I'm stronger than you now, so I become a robber." Mu Hua said with disdain.

The monsters want humans to enter the courtyard. If humans are weak, they will become their playthings. Killing and robbing people does not cause any psychological pressure to them.

Humans invade courtyards and seize land. Monsters themselves are a kind of resource for humans, and humans feel at ease killing monsters.

In the end, the stronger party will inevitably become a robber and a villain in a general sense, and the weaker party has no right to complain.

The courtyard and the human world, monsters and humans, in essence, no one has anything good to say.

"Hehe, what do you want? Kill me? Or, if you want the core of the courtyard, what conditions are you going to offer me?" Occam said with a smile, and took the initiative and let Mu Hua propose the conditions.

"Deal? Occam, you'd better understand. I can take you down now, and I can also make the maze area never peaceful in the future." Mu Hua frowned.

"The current stalemate is not good for you. You just regard the courtyard as a resource warehouse, right? It doesn't matter to you whether it is the Demon King's Castle or the Maze City. Cooperation will be more beneficial to both of us." Mu Hua advised patiently.

"That's different. No one would like to have rats in their granary. Besides, you are not the only one!" Occam said hatefully.

Mu Hua's statement may sound fine at first glance, but it is actually quite shameless.

There was nothing wrong with the courtyard master not wandering around in the courtyard. But originally they didn't need to do anything, they just needed to bear the title of the devil, and countless emotional energies would come to them.

But now, if Mu Hua occupies the courtyard, there is no need for deliberate guidance. No matter whether it is humans or monsters that move into the courtyard, you can know who the emotional energy they produce is more likely to go to. If there is some propaganda guidance, if Mu Hua and his men pose everywhere, all kinds of emotions will naturally go to them. Monsters like to make trouble for humans, isn't it for this reason?

That’s right, Mu Hua and his men, this is probably the situation that makes Occam even more uncomfortable, because Mu Hua’s side not only has demons, monsters, undead and other monsters, but also a bunch of ghosts and gods.

Damn it, original sin emotion is a high-end product among emotional energies. There are so many competitors, and if you are slow, you won’t be able to draw it!

Occam looked disgusted at Mu Hua's fair and just attitude as he wanted to coexist peacefully.

Compared to predators like Mu Hua, monsters actually prefer purer human forces, because those humans will not compete with them for emotional energy...

"Okay, then how about we talk about the deal?" Occam said with disdain, and Mu Hua also curled his lips. It is not easy to fool the devil, especially a devil who is full of hostility and wariness towards you.

The core of the courtyard is too difficult to find. Compared with the manpower and time required to find it, it will even be harassed by Occam. If Occam can be handed over through a transaction, Mu Hua can barely accept it.

"Name a price. How much do you want in exchange for the core of the courtyard?" Mu Hua said to Occam.

"Heh, no, no, no, human, you seem to have misunderstood the content of the transaction." Occam smiled smugly and shook a finger. Mu Hua did not interrupt and waited for his words.

"The environment of this courtyard is very bad. Although there is a large area of ​​burial ground, if there is no wind of aging, the efficiency of giving birth to skeleton undead is very low."

"You humans love to kill, don't you?"

"And I can drive the monsters from hell into this courtyard. What did you say just now? Make the labyrinth area never peaceful?"

"Haha, think about your subordinates who are eager to grow, think about your people who will be eager for wealth in the future. Believe me, if I hadn't input monsters into this courtyard, you would be the one who would never have peace, right?"

“So, don’t talk about the core of the courtyard anymore, just like the cooperation I discussed with your king.”

“That still works.”

"Now, let's discuss this. I will continue to transport monsters to this courtyard, and what price are you willing to pay for it?" Occam shook his tentacles and smiled confidently.

"..." Mu Hua's eyelids trembled violently. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with Occam's words.

"Are you determined to make things difficult for me?" Mu Hua's face became increasingly ugly.

If he obtains the core of the courtyard, he does not need Occam to transport monsters into the courtyard. It is not necessary, but if Occam is willing to do so, there is no harm.

But at this moment, Mu Hua also heard a threat in Occam's words.

The Lord of the Courtyard generally would not allow hellish creatures that would threaten them into their own courtyards, because they were also worried that those beings would seek the core of the courtyard, or even seek their lives.

But if Occam doesn't care about this courtyard, just like humans would call for strong external aid, Occam could spend a lot of money to hire some powerful monsters in hell to come in and cause trouble.

Mu Hua was not sure about Occam's specific situation in hell, but before obtaining the core of the courtyard, his ability to cause harm was really difficult to assess.

"What if I destroy this courtyard?" Mu Hua said with a dark face.

"Ha, then get started. Do you need help?" Occam said indifferently.

"Okay, very good." Mu Hua gritted his teeth, with hostility in his eyes. Occam frowned, and subconsciously became wary.

"You may not know, Occam, that I am also a devil businessman." Mu Hua had a grim smile on his face, and then his face strangely switched between devil and human several times.
"You...are you kidding me?" Occam was stunned, but his tone was obviously weaker than before.

"Missing you? Do I need to call Mephisto to prove it? I should still be his apostle." Mu Hua sneered.

"..." Occam was silent, with a look of caution in his dark pupils.

"Can I find you? I will find you! Are there still your subordinates in the courtyard? Tell me, will they be willing to guide me to find your spatial coordinates in hell? Or your lair? Your territory!"

"Maybe, I can also contact the First Kingship. Well, if the price is right, maybe Mephisto will help. Are you sure you want me to try?" Mu Hua said to Occam with a grin.

"..." A hesitant look appeared on Occam's face, and Occam stared at Mu Hua's eyes.

"Or... let's talk about the transaction? The transaction of the core of the courtyard." After looking at each other for a moment, Occam twitched his lips, lowered his posture, and said to Mu Hua.

"No, I don't like this kind of deal now. Where is the core of the courtyard? You, tell me, or not?" Mu Hua shook his head, with a smile without any smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
