.Ahem, Akelinn, do you think we who are engaged in financial investment may make a lot of money?”

Samust asked casually in a soft skinned armchair, holding a cup of steaming black tea in both hands.

It should be... at the beginning of a country's birth and at the time of its destruction!"

The young clerk tilted his head and thought for a while, then hesitated, "The new country is in ruins and needs a lot of money to clear away the remaining enemies and rebuild its homeland; the dead country is at a dead end, and he will drink to quench his thirst in order to carry out the final struggle of military expenditure. During these two periods, the government and the monarch will have to accept loans with super high interest rates under urgent internal and external pressure, and mortgage their high-quality assets at a low price - this is a god-given opportunity for bankers to make huge profits... In addition, if the scope is narrowed, there will be such opportunities when the company is established and closed down. But beware of fraud - the country cannot move away, and the boss is hard to say."

"Yes, very well said. Aiklinn, you obviously learned a lot in the banking group during this period."

Sammast gently patted his palm twice, showing a smile of praise, "Since that's the case, if we can keep making the strong\beginners weaker and stronger in the war, then we can go through these two periods repeatedly and make these two money constantly... Of course, this super high-yield investment operation will be more difficult to operate later. Moreover, both sides of the war will not be fools, and it is impossible to be fooled by bankers endlessly.

All we have to do is to put aside their hatred and point the finger at us together to make the spearhead of us. The drama of becoming weak and stronger before was staged as much as possible, dragging them into the boundless quagmire of war as long as possible until the last drop of blood is drained and the last copper plate is spent. If their strength is consumed to that extent, it will be useless if they really join forces to resist us... Unfortunately, there are not many such examples, and most of our customers are quite cunning and do not care much about face.

Instead of fighting to the end with a fierce bloody battle, they are more accustomed to bowing their heads and admitting defeat before the funds cannot be maintained."

Speaking of this, Samust slightly turned his head and glanced at Ecklinn inadvertently, "You seem to be reading the biography written by that fat man Owo just now? Well, although this old guy is ridiculous and obscene, he has a kind temper and a good writing style. He doesn't like to lie and make up... How do you think he writes?"

"This... should be said to be very exciting. Mr. Chairman's style in previous years is really bold and open-minded, and has a kind of grand spirit of a dignified man. I really admire him, and I feel a burst of passion in my heart..."

The little secret was exposed in person by the main owner, which made Ecklinn feel a little nervous. He first said a few perfunctory words, and saw that Samust was still very calm and had no emotional fluctuations. So he simply put his heart on his mind and told him the confusion in his heart regardless of the consequences.

"To be honest, as a wizard from an ordinary background, I have admired you very much since my student days. But through this period of contact with you, I feel... "

At this moment, I barely gathered a little courage. It was already like the ice and snow under the sun. It quickly melted without a trace. Under the eyes of the chairman of the bank group, Ecklinn blushed for a moment and stuttered, but could not say a coherent word.

"Hmm. You feel that I have changed. I have become accustomed to conspiracy and tricks. I no longer pay attention to the right decision. Isn't it like the original Sammaster? Is that true?"

Samust looked at the nervous young man with a calm expression. A faint smile appeared on his old face. "Ecklinn. Time can change everything. It includes a person's thoughts, personality, good and evil--when I was still in Silver Moon City and Ellaszhuo all day long, I never thought that I would become a lich in the future. Of course, it led to my transformation in my thoughts and life. It was definitely not just time..."

He stood up from behind the round table of the conference. He reached out and pulled a chair next to him. He signaled Ecklinn to sit down next to him. "Because there is still a little time before the next round of conferences. Are you interested in listening to me, the old man, telling a story?"

**********

"As you know, more than five hundred years ago, I had once attacked Sel, a powerful country in the Near East, and won a great victory, but eventually failed. Moreover, when I was defeated and fled, I lost too much power... even more severe than the last time I was sealed by the twelve paladins in Hell's Gate. Almost half of my life was left, just a little better than the crushing defeat that was destroyed by the god of dawn Luo Shanda."

Accompanied by the fragrance of black tea, the old man sighed quietly, sighing in his words, and seemed to still feel lingering.

.

"In order to avoid the pursuit of various forces, I dragged my severely damaged body into the astral realm and hid in this cemetery of the gods. It took several centuries before I slowly recovered my strength."

"In addition to recuperation, I often reflect on: Why have I always failed in the past few hundred years? Why have every attempt and challenge of my succession come to the spotlight in the focus of the historical stage, but ended in a panic defeat of sieges? Also the evil forces, the Sanlin Tower Society in the west and the Red Rou Master Organization in the Near East can last for thousands of years, but the Dragon Witch Sect I built has always fallen into a long division and decline after several years of short prosperity?"

Sammast sighed, "I don't know how long it took, but I finally figured it out. This is because I act too high-profile and lack of moderation. Perhaps because of my overly arrogant relationship, although there is a powerful organization behind it, I still think that real strength does not require hypocritical performances, and I am willing to rely on my own hands to solve problems, and use powerful force to destroy the world to defeat all enemies-but I was wrong. Pure violence can only eliminate the problem at most, but not solve the problem. On the contrary, if the leader's behavior is too arrogant, it will only attract unanimous hostility from all forces, and even the hearts of the people within may be shaken.

In addition, there is a proverb in the East that there are mountains outside the mountains and sky outside the sky. Although my power is powerful, there will definitely be someone who is stronger than me. Even if I become the world's strongest, there are a large group of gods and demons in the sky and under the earth that can easily kill me - just like the god Luo Shanda of the morning light.

What's more, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how powerful the organization is, if you make too many enemies, you will still be exhausted in the wheel battle and be dragged down and exhausted by it little by little - this is how I failed in Sel. Even if I already have the power to defeat the gods, I still can't turn the world back... So, through profound reflection on these failures, the biggest lesson I learned from it is that I must learn to do things in a low-key manner."

"However, if you want to choose to keep a low profile and gain a reputation, it will become a burden and obstacle that is difficult to get rid of. No matter what name I make on the mainland of Feren, it will immediately attract unanimous encirclement from all forces, and to resolve their hostility... I really don't know what to do."

Samust smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "It is not like a weed, obliterating in obscurity, like the failure at the gate of hell, it is better to do your best to fight for life and death. For example, the attack between me and the five-colored dragon god Tiamat... But this is just a dignified failure, but I want to taste the fruits of victory!"

"If you choose to secretly show secret organizations and run killers and thieves like the Iron Throne..."

He shook his head again, "I am somewhat self-aware of this kind of thing-Master, it is absolutely impossible for those humble foxes, rats, snakes, to look for rotten corpses all day long in the dark mud of the city, and then skillfully bite those highly rotten flesh and blood... Although I am already a lich, I still hope to gain a prominent reputation in the sun, rather than being the poor maggots running and killing in the shadows!

Moreover, if you want to make that underground organization bigger and stronger, you must find a tycoon such as Meske, the lie prince Cialis who is in charge of the murder of the clergy, and the evil god boss Saur, who has the secret clergy, the Dark Night Goddess, to seek their protection.

But since I am unwilling to serve the Magic Goddess, I am naturally unwilling to serve them. And they may find it difficult to accept me - any god is willing to recruit a voter who has had a record of betrayal? Hehe, it seems that in the world, I, Samust, can add this to my job search resume!"

Samust smiled self-deprecatingly, and finally got to the point, "I couldn't figure it out, in order to fight this boring long time, I began to manipulate my thoughts and explore every corner of the multiverse, hoping to get some enlightenment and inspiration... As a result, through several crystal wall systems and more space-time turbulences, I finally found a very interesting plane...

This plane is covered alternately by the violent magic zone and the dead magic zone, so both magic and arcane are basically unable to be cast. Even at my level of magic, I can only receive some information intermittently and indirectly without any influence on it... A civilization system that is completely different from our Torrell world is widely present in that plane and has already reached a level that shocks me - but these things are not what interests me the most."
