Chapter 655 78
Obviously, the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the continent had a different view of the Illuminati.
The "An-Shi Rebellion" instigated by the Illuminati caused a total of 30 million deaths.
This kind of thing is a blood debt that must be settled in any country.
On the other hand, trading with other countries is only icing on the cake for the Li family, and it is not at all to the point of affecting the survival of the country.
The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and a large number of residents. Everything that the residents have can be produced within its territory.
The necessities of people's lives, food, clothing, steel, and wood are all available within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
It is true that severing trade with the West will make them eat less cheese, use less glass, and earn less gold coins.
But the basic livelihood that maintains the operation of the kingdom is not affected.
Therefore, the Tang Emperor is not afraid of offending anyone.
What's more, it's just the Illuminati?
When the two Legalist diplomats came to Constantinople, all the nobles knew that they must not be simply carrying out diplomatic missions.
The legalists used bloody means to forcibly integrate the disintegrating country.
They have always remembered the blood shed sixty years ago.
Entering Rome, directly killing into the Dolanter family mansion. The Viking rough man might do this, but the shrewd East Land people would not.
Just one day ago, Prince Dolanter sent the mysterious strong man under the Illuminati into the arena, and the two legalists disciples had received the news just one day later.
In terms of the efficiency of information transmission, they were no slower than the group of fire transmission gangs.
Segar didn't know why Wang Ergulei wanted to enter the arena.
But the legalist mentor knew it very well in his heart.
He entered to kill people.
**
Two hours later, Segar sent the two East Land guests out of his manor.
After thinking again and again, he still couldn't say the refusal he should have said.
Because this was also a rare opportunity for him.
As the core building of Constantinople, the Colosseum holds at least two large-scale gladiatorial events every year. This means that in the competition that lasts for a month from morning to night, more than a thousand people will fall in the sand accompanied by the cheers of Roman citizens.
How to find high-quality gladiators and make each gladiatorial event full of suspense and highlights is a huge challenge.
This is not a task that can be accomplished by one person.
The Senate has appointed a total of 4 gladiator lords to be responsible for the various celebrations in the Colosseum every year.
Segal Punic is just one of them
There are 3 competitors of the same level as him, and each of them is trying to kill the other and occupy a bigger piece of the pie.
Sooner or later, there will be only one person left in this position.
For this reason, the Skylark Chamber of Commerce sent people to come, and Segal unconditionally agreed to all their choices.
Everyone can see that if the Kingdom of Normandy develops at this momentum, it will become another Roman Republic on the Western Continent. With such a powerful country behind it, it is only a matter of time before the Viking Princess becomes the chief member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Segar also cannot disobey the order of Prince Dolanter.
Because this is a member of the royal family.
If this legalist mentor is put into the arena again today, regardless of whether Moherantin will agree, he will definitely offend Prince Dolanter.
Although Wang Ergulei, the "Destroyer", is powerful, this legalist mentor standing in front of him actually makes him feel unfathomable.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this man was a monk or a mortal who was powerless.
After thinking again and again, Segar finally agreed to let Shang Junzi enter.
This is because between the royal family and the citizens, he finally chose to try his best to meet the needs of the citizens.
Citizens are the main body of the kingdom.
The Colosseum is open twice a year, and its fundamental reason is to enrich the spiritual life of Roman citizens. The main body served by each gladiator lord is also the Roman people.
Segar was originally a humble gladiator. It was the cheers of the Roman citizens, time and again, that brought him from being worthless to his current position.
In his world, winning the cheers of the people is far more important than pleasing a prince.
Making the audience raise their hands and cheer is their most noble mission.
The upset favorite Red Blood Pigeon, plus two subordinates of "King of Paris" Loki Starlago.
Adding a Legalist assassin to this lineup, Segal can assert that this will be the most highly configured gladiatorial contest in the Colosseum in the past 20 years.
No one else.

After sending off the two Legalist mentors, Segal tapped his wrists lightly, took off his silk and satin, and put on a low-key black cloth robe.
Carefully pinning the two short knives behind his calves, after the servant handed him the broadsword, Segal opened the cellar and left the mansion through the secret passage.
Half an hour later, he climbed out along the mouth of a dry well.
The easy part has been done, and the rest is the hard part.
All civilized and prosperous countries must have two sets of orders, one is issued by the king, the Senate and the tribunes to maintain social stability.
The other set is to fill in some corners that cannot be discussed in detail.
Thus, the underground world of Constantinople hidden in the crowd was born.
Gambling, human trafficking, the import and export of illegal goods, the acquisition of intelligence, and hiring murderers, all of these were expressly prohibited by the kingdom. But it must be admitted that even the rulers often needed the dark underground forces to provide them with such services.
From merchants hiring thugs to squeeze competitors and seize territory, to nobles buying intelligence and hiring murderers to fight for inheritance rights, where there is demand, there is naturally a market.
Huge demand will nourish a huge market.
At this time, it was even enough to affect every aspect of the lives of Roman citizens.
