Starting from Uchiha Obito

Chapter 132 Settlement of Accounts

After returning to the Lord of Elvin, Wang Jie went straight to find Delia. He was already a frequent visitor to the Lord's Mansion. He had been in and out several times in recent times. The guards at the door did not inform him and let him in directly.

"Did you bring back the Lord's Heart?" Delia was sitting in the hall and had already laid out refreshments.

"I brought it back, but there are some problems with using it, so I might need to trouble you. I caught the man who escaped, and I learned from him that to deactivate the state, a bit of divine power from their Lord of Heaven is needed. Do you know how to get it?" The other things in the deactivation ceremony were easy to deal with, and some of them might be very valuable, but Wang Jie had no shortage of money, and he was not worried about the problem of purchasing channels. The only thing he couldn't find a clue about was this divine power.

"Really? You're really efficient. The matter of divine power is actually not that difficult. Heaven is a huge force, and their Lord of Light has a long reach. He has left his divine power in many places. Moreover, he is extremely protective of his younger brothers and often uses his divine power to help them settle things. It is naturally dangerous for others to obtain his divine power. But with your strength, as long as you don't directly enter Heaven's sphere of influence, there will be no problem." Delia smiled and took out a crystal as she spoke.

"This is a replica of the energy-binding crystal. It's a one-time rare item. I'll sell it to you for the mithril coin. As long as you use it to contact the divine power, you can naturally imprison it. It's also easy to use if you just break it."

Wang Jie took the crystal without bargaining. He thought that a great lord would not cheat him for such a small amount of money.

"Thank you, we should be leaving tomorrow. We still need your help with the news about the Hero's Certificate and the situation of the Heavenly Forces." Wang Jie's main purpose of coming this time was actually to ask for compensation. Since Delia hadn't mentioned it, he decided to mention it himself.

"Unfortunately, the two parties are in completely opposite directions. The Heavenly Force is further south of the empire, with a straight-line distance of more than 630 million kilometers. If you want to go there, I can introduce you to Derek's space channel, but it can only save you 100 million kilometers of travel, and you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. The Hero's Certificate is in the north, 1 kilometers to the north. Eric'an Territory is an emerging territory. The lord there obtained the Hero's Certificate and decided to exchange it for more practical things. I have a list of supplies that he may urgently need. You can take these things to trade with him, but I am not the only one who knows this news, and the competition may be fierce at that time. His auction will start in 3 months, and you have plenty of time to prepare." Delia did not avoid it and directly gave Wang Jie what he wanted.

"Thank you. I'll take my leave then. We'll talk about the space channel when I come back." Wang Jie said as he was about to get up.

"Wait, if you want to go to Erican, please bring something over for me. This is a batch of supplies that I owe him. It should be an easy thing for you." Delia stopped Wang Jie and handed him a ring. It should be a space ring. There is a seal on it but the power is not strong. It is the kind that can protect you from gentlemen but not villains.

Wang Jie took the ring without asking for any compensation. After all, Delia had helped him a lot, so it was not a bad thing to do so as not to hurt their feelings.

After leaving the lord's mansion, Wang Jie began to gather his teammates. In the evening, in the hotel where they were staying, Wang Jie told them about his future itinerary and asked for their opinions.

"Since it's an emerging territory, its power should not be strong. Why not just snatch it away? Maybe we can get the fragments of the Lord's Heart." The person who made this suggestion was Zhang Wenwen, who looked the quietest among the crowd. Wang Jie couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Let's not talk about the moral issues for now. If it's really so easy to grab, do you think he dares to sell it like this? The lords should be very strong." Wang Zhiyun immediately took over, and the last half of the sentence was directed to Wang Jie.

"Theoretically, a lord in his own territory is basically invincible. It is basically impossible to solve a lord by a small-scale attack. According to the information I have obtained, the lord should have a very high command level. There is no difference between facing him and facing the armed forces of the entire territory. In other words, no matter the quality, as long as there are enough troops, the lord himself will be very strong. Since Lord Eric An dared to invite so many people to his place for the auction, he must be able to protect himself." Wang Jie had already guessed about the ability of the lord. It stands to reason that new lords will descend every year, and the location range is regular, and there are many people who know this news, so why doesn't anyone hunt new lords regularly? Either the success rate is extremely low, or the cost is too high, no one does it. Either way, it shows that the strength of the lord should not be underestimated.

"Okay, I'm just curious. Who will use the Hero's Certificate if we get it? How will we pay back the money we spent?" Zhang Wenwen waved her hand to indicate that she was just making a casual remark, and then changed the subject to the question she really wanted to ask. The money was easy to talk about, and there was always a way to pay it back, but there were 9 people~~ maybe only 7, so who would get the Hero's Certificate? It was better to make this clear in advance to avoid conflicts later.

Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Jie. The money was his, and he was also the most powerful one, so he definitely had the most say in this matter.

"Regarding the distribution of hero certificates, I think that Shisui and Mingguang will be the last in line, and as long as there is one person in our team who has not received the hero certificate, the team cannot disband. Those who become heroes early can at most go back to report their safety and then come back to continue helping the rest. In addition, I suggest that the order of obtaining hero certificates should be based on strength, because the direct benefit of becoming a hero is that your subordinates can get the hero's attribute bonus, and people with strong strength can naturally bring more help to our overall strength. So I tend to give the hero certificate to Wang Zhiyun this time. As for the money, it's up to you. I will definitely take the path of a lord. If you also want to take the path of a lord, then just pay off the money before you become a lord. If you don't become a lord, then as a hero you can work under me, and the money will be regarded as my investment in training the troops, and you don't have to pay it back." Wang Jie hadn't thought much about this problem before, but now that Zhang Wenwen asked it publicly, he thought and spoke at the same time, and his speech was intermittent.

"I want to take the path of a lord. This money will be considered as a loan. How about an annual interest rate of 3%?" Wang Zhiyun agreed with Wang Jie's proposal and immediately offered to pay the interest.

"Forget about the interest. You should also get a share of the previous employment fee. It's too troublesome to break it down. Although brothers are supposed to settle accounts clearly, sometimes it hurts feelings if the accounts are too detailed."
