Chapter 228: Arrangements Before Departure
Todd looked at the sailing route on the screen again, calculating the feasibility of the plan in his mind, and finally said, "Perhaps...... You can try. ”
Rachel clenched his right hand into a fist and cupped his chin, "There's another problem, there are no ships in the Twilight Shipyard that are suitable for ocean voyages. The warships of the Northerners, shallow and fast, were not suitable for long voyages, and their cargo ships, which could travel long distances, were large and bulky, and too slow. What we needed was a small sailboat, safe and reliable, and most importantly fast. ”
Todd thought for a moment and replied, "There may be one such ship right now." ”
"In that case, the ship should be fine. Rachel turned off the screen: "The rest is some preparation, supplies, tools, weapons, and connectors. ”
"You're going to go along?!"
Rachel gave him a strange look: "Of course I'm going to follow you." ”
"What about managing the alien race? What about the alien factory?"
"Karin has been able to take charge on her own, and besides, the xenos in Twilight City have stabilized, and there is not much to do. As for the factory, all production is already on track, and even if I'm not there, it won't make a difference. ”
Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Todd also gave up persuasion and began to prepare a series of preparations with Rachel before the long journey.
The first is the link man of the soul space. Since there will be a long time in the future that I will not be in Twilight West City (and it is possible that I will never be able to return). Therefore, it is extremely important to determine the object of the soul link.
Those important people in the kingdom, such as Huggins, Alfonso, Joe, Brunhilde, Karin, Dion, and others, are the objects of soul linking.
Todd was still a little worried, and it would take some time to convince them to accept the link. To his surprise, almost all of them immediately agreed, and some even cheered loudly and thanked the king after receiving his request.
After dealing with the soul link, Todd began to shift his gaze to the vehicle.
Twilight's existing shipbuilding skills weren't enough to build an ocean-going clipper, so Todd had to turn his attention to the other ships in the harbor.
An armed sailing ship called the Black Pearl came into his sights.
This small clipper built by the Abbasid Empire is light and sturdy, and it is the best choice in terms of speed, steering, and concealment.
On top of that, the captain of this clipper, who has experience sailing north, is the daughter of Barbarossa, Aisha.
However, when negotiating with her, a little trouble went wrong......
"What? are you saying that the ambush plan was aborted?!"
Aisha looked at the King of Twilight behind the table, frowned, and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is different from what we said beforehand. ”
Todd tapped the table with his knuckles and said casually, "Thank you for the information, the North Islanders, under the mediation of the Dusk West Kingdom, the Talon Clan and the Black Skull Clan have agreed to cede part of their share of the sea trade in exchange for the support of other small tribes in the North Island. ”
Aisha bit her lip tightly and grabbed the black robe with both hands.
She no longer thought that her information would become a stone to smash her feet, and those two tribes would actually give up the sea trade in exchange for the support of other North Island tribes.
Aisha looked at the King of Dusk in front of her, and her eyes seemed to be able to breathe flames: "Your Majesty, I believe you have put a lot of thought into this, right?!"
Todd smiled and took out a bag of coins from under the table and opened the prick: "Aisha, I am a generous person, the information you provided has helped me a lot, and I will naturally give you back, here are 50 silver moons." ”
Aisha took a closer look, and the shiny coins in the bag made her face slightly brighter, and she put away the money bag while muttering.
"Your Majesty, you still can't trust me after all. Aisha shook her head and turned away with regret, intending to leave.
Todd took out another money bag of the same size from under the table and placed it heavily on the table: "On the contrary, I have a more important task to give you. ”
Aisha turned her head and looked at the king with a puzzled expression.
"An escort mission, there are two very important guests in the Twilight Kingdom, and they want to go to the north as soon as possible. ”
Aisha shook the silver moon on her waist, shook her head and said, "If you want me to complete the escort task, such a small bag of money is not enough." ”
Todd kept a smile on his face: "It's just a deposit here, and I'll pay you ten times more after the deed." ”
"Ten times?!" Aisha gasped, and after a moment, she asked vigilantly, "Where are those two going?"
"The Land of Shadows. ”
Ayisha, who was taken aback, let the money bag in her hand slide to the ground, but she didn't realize it.
"Shadow Country?!You must be crazy!" Aisha took two steps back and said with a sneer, "If you want to kill yourself, you might as well choose a rope! I will never die for you for hundreds of silver moons!"
"Silver Moon?" Todd laughed, he untied the pouch on the table, revealing the dazzling golden light inside: "Miss Hayreddin, these are the fake Jin Xu!"
"Gold?" Aisha was attracted by the golden light, and even the disgusting title in the other person's mouth was forgotten.
"The deposit is 50 gold coins, so the total is 550 gold coins, which is 5,500 silver months. ”
Todd crossed his fingers, slowly leaned back in his chair, admired Aisha's greed and desire, and whispered, "As I said just now, I'm a generous person......"
——————————————
Inside the Soul Space, the conference hall on the second floor of the Institute.
Emerson, Cumberland, Terrence, Mary, and Rachel sat at the same round table and looked at the king in the upper seat.
"Today is the first meeting between me and all of you in the soul space. Todd thought as he said, "There are a lot of benefits to having meetings here. The first is to save time, the 12 hours spent here is almost more than two minutes in the world, and we can spend more precious time on more important things in the outside world, and the second is more convenient, what you see and hear in your daily life can be played in the form of movies and sounds through the screen on the table. ”
Looking at Cumberland fiddling with the mouse on the table with a curious expression, Todd scratched the back of his head: "At first, you may be a little unaccustomed to this way of operating, but after getting used to it." ”
After a pause, Todd cleared his throat: "Next, I have something very important to announce - I will not be in this world for a long time. ”
Except for Richel, the other four people were at a loss when they heard this.
Emerson was the first to react: "Your Majesty, you mean that we won't see you in Twilight City?"
Todd nodded, "So to speak. ”
"How can this be?!You are the king of Twilight!How can the lord of a kingdom be absent from the throne for a long time?!" Cumberland immediately objected.
Terrence also questioned at this time: "There are still many affairs in the kingdom, and the absence of the king may lead to national turmoil." ”
Todd stretched out his hands and pressed them down, signaling for everyone to be calm.
"I will not give up the administration of the kingdom, in fact, I will spend more time on the affairs of the king. It's just that my office will be relocated from the headquarters of the Knights. Todd pointed to the computer screen in front of him.
Mary somewhat understood: "You plan to ...... here in the future"
"That's right. Every morning around half past eight, I will bring you into this place by calling on your souls. Todd took a sip of the coffee in front of him and continued: "I call this meeting a 'daily meeting', and before the meeting, everyone here should prepare the materials and documents, and I will focus on them. ”
Emerson tugged his mustache with his fingers, and his brows twisted into the word 'Chuan': "This method may also be used, but there are always occasions when you still need to come forward." May I ask, Your Majesty, how long will you be away from Twilight?"
"Probably...... year. When Todd said this, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Because in his mind, another answer has been floating up - forever.
"A year ?!!" Cumberland's big voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, what is the important matter, to go for such a long time?!
Todd closed his eyes, and Xiao Suo's expression slowly emerged: "Very important things, if you don't go, you can't do it......"
The crowd fell silent.
Some people think of the "kingdom of heaven" they are in now, and then think of the identity of the Holy Son, and they unconsciously close their mouths.
Todd opened his eyes, looked around, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's start discussing, the process and precautions for the future meeting." ”()
