22. The White Dragon and the White Lion
Herwin showed a look of embarrassment:
"Actually, I've had a bit of trouble, even though the Knights have always had a bad relationship with our church. ”
The Bishop nodded.
"But now that I'm in Firth City, I don't want to clash with the Knights, and I want to do some business with them. ”
Hewen said as if he really hated the Knights.
But Alec knew that the merchants only had money in their eyes, but he didn't care so much, and if he gave him money, he was the most devout believer in the Primordial Fire.
"Did they do anything to you?" asked the Bishop with concern.
Hewen said with a worried face:
"Well, not long after I arrived, Lord George's chief apprentice, Abel, was speaking ill of me, and we had an argument and a conflict, and now he must be thinking about what to do with me. ”
Hewen didn't mention anything about Hara.
Alec slapped the armrest hard:
"How can this be true! Abel has done such a thing to innocent citizens, you wait, I will contact George right away, and ask him to personally bring Abel to apologize to you. ”
Herwin coughed lightly:
"Actually, I've already made him apologize to me. ”
Alec's eyelids jumped, and he asked the Knights' Captain Apprentice to apologize, and the merchant was also a ruthless character:
"Then you want to. ”
Hervin explains:
"I'd like the church to bypass George's apprentice and introduce me directly to Lord White Knight, I have a big business to talk to. ”
"Talk privately. Hervin added.
The bishop wondered:
"These things have happened, you still want to do business with him, why not with the church, our forces in Firth are not much weaker than the Knights. ”
Hewen blinked and explained righteously:
"I negotiate business with the Knights to earn their money, while I and the Church, I only need to donate money. ”
Alec didn't believe his nonsense at all, but nodded anyway:
"Okay, Mr. Wright, I'll arrange this for you now, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. ”
The two laughed and agreed.
The next day, the Pure White Tower was on the fifth floor.
Mayo, the second apprentice, put down the newspaper, took a sip of tea, and asked:
"Any news on this?"
Sean, who was from the same family as him, stood in front of him like a servant
Sean replied:
"There seems to be a guy named Wright, who has a little money to say insults to Lord George, and according to my informant, Abel seems to want to punish this fellow, and we don't have to do it first. ”
"How many little bucks? Are you sure it's called Wright?"
"Well, that's right. ”
"Is he a young man with short hair?"
"yes, you already know?"
Mayo didn't say anything, and spread out the newspaper on the table, with a row of large letters written on it.
Mr. Wright, a generous businessman, donated $500 million to help expand the church, which the Bishop called a great act of kindness, and Mr. Wright was the most devout believer. ”
There's also a picture below of Herwin and Alec shaking hands, and both of them look satisfied.
Mayo smiled and said:
"Don't look for that informant anymore. ”
Sean's back was completely soaked.
The Pure White Tower has eight floors.
Abel walked in his room, his whole face gloomy.
Maggie didn't dare say a word.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Abel gritted his teeth, "How can this Wright move so fast, then I'm not a fool in the eyes of others now?"
Maggie asked:
"Then are we going to excuse ourselves?"
Abel said angrily:
"Fart, please!"
"So what do we do now?"
Abel took a deep breath and commanded:
"You go to my father and ask him to send someone to find out Wright's background, what nationality he is, what industry he runs, how much money he has, and most importantly, what weaknesses and secrets he has to exploit.
"If you can't become friends, you must be prepared to wage war against your enemies. ”
At this time, Hervin was also in the Pure White Tower, on the very top floor of the Pure White Tower.
Knight George was sitting across from him.
Hervin took a sip of red wine:
"Well, it's from Wharton's Edel Estate, but now with the expansion of machinery and coal power, I remember the vineyards getting smaller and smaller every year. ”
George exclaimed:
"Yes, you know, in the past, Eder's red wine was supplied to the nobles of half of Wharton, but now it is scarce, but Mr. Wright, you are not here to taste it. ”
Hervin replied:
"Maybe I just want to meet up with the esteemed White Knight, have a drink, and have a chat. ”
"This is not like the most devout believer in the Primordial Fire, Mr. Wright. ”
Hervin stood up and looked out the window:
"It seems like you can see the church of the Primordial Flame here. ”
George laughed:
"Because this is the highest place in the city of Firth. ”
Hervin says:
"But soon it will no longer be, and the highest place will become an annex tower of the church. ”
George responded:
"Thanks to Mr. Wright's generous support. ”
Hewen shook his head:
I only mentioned it, but Mr. Bishop did not hesitate, he seemed to have been preparing for this moment for a long time. ”
It's a lie, but no one will debunk it.
George walked up to Hewen and said:
"It's true that some people don't like the towering of the Pure White Tower for a long time, but it seems that Mr. Wright is not as religious as he is rumored?"
Hewen waved his hand:
"The Primordial Fire is too arrogant for anyone in their right mind to like, especially with their bad attitude towards Inlans.
"After all, for the primordial fire that has become the main church in several countries, Inlands is undoubtedly a huge cake, a cake without a master. ”
George reminded dissatisfiedly:
"Inlands has her master. ”
Hewen nodded:
"The Dragon King is indeed admirable, and if he were still awake, the living saints would run away with his tail between his legs when they saw him. ”
"Hmph, it's good to know. ”
"But he's already asleep, isn't he?"
There was a hint of anger in George's eyes:
"Be mindful of what you say and do. ”
Hervin turned his head and looked at George with a smile:
"Otherwise, the white dragon. ”
George's anger subsided instantly, and he asked with a cold face:
"Who are you? Mr. Wright. ”
Wright shook his finger:
"Who are we, you should ask?"
"You guys?"
Hewen's tone was very sincere:
"Honesty and trust are the foundation of cooperation, Mr. White Dragon, we are sacred beasts that hide in the shadows, but still remain white. ”
"The White Lions?"
Herwin nodded.
It's a lie, but no one will debunk it.
"Since the church needs face, we let the church spend every dollar on maintaining face, and we can negotiate a really big business, a business that can make the Knights really strong. ”
George scoffed:
"Oh, you're so kind? What do you want?"
"The blood of the white dragon. ”
George laughed angrily:
"No way. ”
"Perhaps you would like to hear our plan, although it is said that you were sent here because you were suspected by the King in the past, but we all know that your real accusation is that the country is shielded from the threat of the Primordial Fire. ”
