Chapter 978 – Request from New Zealand

12th month, 8th day, the Emperor Squadron arrived in New Zealand’s Auckland port and was warmly welcomed by Jason.

New Zealand was located at the southwest portion of the Atlantic, and it was comprised of two big islands split by the Straits of Cook. The imperial city Wellington and the only Lord territory Auckland was located on the north island.

The entire New Zealand land area could be compared to one province in China, and they had a total of 400 thousand players.

Similar to Australia, the natives of New Zealand were the Maoris. In the end, they were also British colonies. The difference was that New Zealand did not have as rich of an ore supply and was mainly greenery with 75% of its land area being hills and mountains.

Dairy and meat were the main exported products of New Zealand.

The Lord of Auckland was known as Jason. When Great Xia established its dynasty, Jason had sent his congratulations, establishing a bit of relationship between the two.

It was this relationship that made Ouyang Shuo come to visit.

“Welcome Xia King!”

Jason was a young Lord. He was just 24, his body was muscular, and he was really handsome. Compared to Avera, his attitude was really sincere.

Considering that it was less than a month till the 5th year, Ouyang Shuo was not planning to spend too long here. He was planning to directly return to Lion City and teleport back to Shanhai City.

Considering the time, it would be just right.

Who knew that Jason would invite him several times and swear that he would not waste Ouyang Shuo’s time? Ouyang Shuo did not know what he was up to and could only accept the invitation.

Auckland, City Lord’s Manor.

After the welcome feast, Jason requested that the two of them have a conversation.

Ouyang Shuo raised a glass cup that was rare in the game and drank the New Zealand produced hot milk. Taking a look at Jason, he said, “Lord Jason, you can reveal the puzzle now, right?”

“I would like to lead Auckland and join the Great Xia Dynasty. I’m not sure if the Xia King is willing to accept?”

‘Cough!’ Ouyang Shuo choked and asked, “What did you say?”

When Jason saw that, he got up and solemnly bowed to Ouyang Shuo, “Auckland volunteers to join Great Xia. Please accept me.”

Ouyang Shuo placed down the glass, and his eyes instantly became sharp, “Reason?”

Before coming, Ouyang Shuo did not expect Jason to do this.

Jason smiled with some bitterness and self-mocking, “There’s no other reason. I just want someone to rely on.”

“The game world is not peaceful, and I can already feel that a global war is about to begin. Although New Zealand is in a corner, we will not be able to escape it. Not to mention Java or Australia, but any Lord in the world with ambition would eye us.”

Listening to this, Jason paused, “I do not want to hide it from you. Not long ago, Java’s Badong Squadron disturbed our territory.”

Ouyang Shuo was shocked.

Jason’s judgement was correct. Along with each country in the world being unified, the Lords would turn their eyes outside. Gaia’s 5th year would be the year of wars.

“Since that’s the case, New Zealand needs to find a Suzerain to rely on,” Jason said.

Ouyang Shuo nodded. However, he still could not understand it, “Why would you choose Great Xia and not Avic Fort or Dawson Dynasty, which are more suitable to your culture?”

New Zealand was a western country, so it was not a fit with an eastern country like Great Xia.

Jason smiled, “The current Great Xia is not a pure eastern country. Its land covers continents and its name passes through all the lands. I’ve heard that the Xia King accepts everyone and even plans to work with South Africa. Since that’s the case, New Zealand wants to be a member of Great Xia.”

Ouyang Shuo was moved but that reason was not enough, “That’s not enough!” Joining a dynasty was not a game. Since Jason managed to unify New Zealand, he was obviously not a simple person.

Facing Ouyang Shuo’s questions, Jason was really calm. Finally, he revealed everything, “I do not want to hide it from you, but the reason why I chose to join Great Xia is simple. I do not want to be controlled by Silver Hand.”

Ouyang Shuo’s eyes focused; this was the first time an overseas Lord had mentioned Silver Hand to him.

“I can only say you have great ideas.” Ouyang Shuo did not give a direct reply.

When Jason saw that, a memory flashed across his mind, “Xia King, would you like to listen to a story?”

“Sure.”

“It happened before the planetary migration.”

In the quiet room, Jason’s low and descriptive voice was the only thing to be heard.

This was actually a really old story. Long ago, when Silver Hand was just established, the family Jason was from was a member, and they were really powerful.

This time, facing the actions of the academic faction, Silver Hand decided to abandon the Jason Family, forcing them to bear the blame. They became the scapegoat of the organization.

From then on, the Jason Family was stuck in a bad state.

“Not long after that, my grandfather died from depression,” Jason said in pain.

After the storm, Silver Hand could be said to have a conscience and helped the Jason Family. They allowed this family that was close to collapsing to survive.

In the game, Jason saw his chance to change the fate of his family. Using his strong game talent and a little bit of luck, he defeated each opponent in his way and stood at the peak of New Zealand.

“However, my grandfather will not be able to return.”

Ouyang Shuo could not imagine how close their relationship was. It caused Jason to still bear so much pain in his heart.

Suddenly, Jason smiled, “Ironically, when I arrived at the peak of New Zealand, Silver Hand came here once more to invite our family to be one of their members.”

Ouyang Shuo could understand that.

In the eyes of Silver Hand, the family’s interests were more important than everything else. They were not guilty about abandoning anyone, and it was just a method they used.

Facing the organization’s temptations, the Jason Gamily had no reason to deny the invitation. “Compared to the tradition of the family, individual deaths did not mean much.”

“However, I do not think that way. I want those people to go down to hell, so why would I join them?”

“The moment I rejected Silver Hand, I knew that Auckland and I had no way out.” Speaking of which, he stared at Ouyang Shuo, “I know that you are an eyesore for Silver Hand. I also believe that you can destroy Silver Hand. I have no other wish, and I only want to help take revenge and appease my grandfather’s soul.”

“Did you think that maybe your grandfather would not agree to it?”

When Jason heard this, he mocked himself, “I know that the way I’m acting is totally different from other aristocratic family members. However, no matter what, I’ll focus down on this path.”

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, as this was the first time he saw a young man with such a drive. Although from an age point of view he was also a young man, his mentality was like that of an old man.

“I’ll agree.” Ouyang Shuo made his decision, and he shook hands with Jason as he smiled, “Welcome to the Great Xia Dynasty family.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

Jason was emotional, and he gripped Ouyang Shuo’s hand with a little too much strength before letting go. He awkwardly stood there.

Ouyang Shuo did not mind it, and he smiled, “It’s already night; let’s discuss this tomorrow.”

“Great!”

Jason agreed right away.

...

Returning to his resting quarters, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to fall asleep.

Although Jason was really sincere in what he said, Ouyang Shuo would not totally believe someone he just met. Furthermore, this mattered involves Silver Hand. Naturally, he had to be careful.

Ouyang Shuo took out a special snowflake letter and sent a letter to a special person to ask him to verify Jason’s words and to see whether Jason was a person Silver Hand planned to plant in Great Xia or not.

Although the global intel network of the Black Snake Guards was becoming more and more perfect, they were helpless toward such intel.

The moment he finished writing, the letter transformed into a white light and disappeared.

At the same time, city in the skies.

In the same small courtyard, the Federation President was looking at the clouds. A letter suddenly appeared in front of him.

After taking a look at the letter, the old man smiled, “That’s great; that little fox finally has something to ask from me. I was worried he would continue on like that.”

“Go, check it out,” the old man said to the air.

Weirdly, a mysterious black shirt man suddenly appeared from midair. He took the letter before disappearing once more.

The old man acted like everything was normal, and he continued to enjoy the scenery. The smile on his face still did not disappear, and his mood was really good.

...

In the following two days, Ouyang Shuo continued to tour New Zealand. He had arranged men to discuss matters with Jason. They basically followed the agreement that Stone City had signed with Great Xia.

Weirdly, Ouyang Shuo delayed the signing of it.

That was because Ouyang Shuo was waiting for the reply from the president. Before he confirmed the true goal of Jason, he would not ‘accept a wolf into his house.’

To Great Xia, Auckland joining them would not bring many gains.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush at all.

On the other hand, when Jason saw Ouyang Shuo delay and delay, he had to back off again and again on the agreement.

11th day, night, Ouyang Shuo finally received a snowflake letter. On the letter, there were two words, ‘You can.’

“This old head, he really does not say much.” Ouyang Shuo muttered.

Thousands of miles away, in the city in the skies, the old man that was watering plants suddenly sneezed.

“Who is bad mouthing me behind my back?”
