Chapter 49 Selling Fame and Reputation

During the small talk, Sister Leqin told me:

As we all know, many years ago, "Midsummer Night" has always existed because of the complex geographical conditions, the slow development of the natural environment, and has the name of "the Minoan Labyrinth of the Sea", because of this shortcoming, it was used by pirates, so that the caravans suffered frequent attacks, heavy losses, and panic.

However, about seven years ago, shortly after the famous Battle of the Plains of Olpots on the continent of Ioros, two wealthy merchants appeared on a "midsummer night".

With their particularly strong assets, they have risen in this sea area, and in just a few years, they have risen rapidly; The two of them, together with thousands of businessmen from all over the mainland, large and small, stood out and became the leading giants of "Midsummer Night"!

However, what is touching and unexpected is that the two of them do not seem to have done any "unkind to the rich", on the contrary, they have done a lot of things that are very beneficial to the local civilians! Like nursing homes, rescue centers for the disabled, homeless warmth activities, charitable funds, and various social security systems・・・・・・

All of this was funded by them.

However, the most famous is the "Arc of Watch" that has been built on hundreds of developed islands with its own unique magic technology to navigate and have an alarm effect. Then, a group of "mercenaries" --- "Arc Shadows" was formed to fight the pirate groups and protect the civilians and caravans of the seas from thieves!

Moreover, in the group competition of commerce, there is no cruel suppression of other businessmen in order to make themselves dominant in history, as recorded in history for thousands of years; On the contrary, they also help each other, and are quite friendly to some old forces that have been rooted in this sea area for hundreds of years, and help them at the most critical moment! Alleviate their immediate needs!

One of the most famous examples is the entire family of the "John Family", when they were attacked by pirates, the rest of the merchant families, in order to be able to completely eradicate them with the help of pirates, so as to replace them and become a new round of giants of "Midsummer Night"; So, deliberately delay time, under all kinds of excuses, not to rescue!

However, these two merchants, at the most critical moment, sent the "Arc Shadow" mercenary group to repel the pirates, so that the patriarch of the John family would be grateful to them. Subsequently, the careers of these two businessmen took it as a turning point and soared in this sea area!

Their industries, from small catering, clothing, to magic cars, real estate, tourism resource development, etc., have become synonymous with their new generation in the "Midsummer Night"!

Their family, named "Hablil". ”

Dye Yue looked serious and spoke earnestly.

"You mean that they have become such famous merchants? Is it the newly rising power in these seas--- "Hablil"?

But what about that? I don't care how noble and rich Shiralda and Bad Filier are in "Midsummer Night"! I'm not afraid! All I know is that Alice is my companion!

I must not let this hold back! ”

Chenxing still used a "stubborn" tone, ignoring what Dye Yue said, insisting on his obsession, and wanted to go to the rescue immediately.

"Wait! Don't worry, Chenxing, I also asked about the "Arc of Watch"; Although they didn't know that this magic lighthouse was actually used to absorb --- light of the eighty-eight constellations.

However, I learned something else, maybe she had a close connection to Yaris, and the crystals in his body. ”

"What?"

"The supermoon in the super theory will come in three days!"

"What?! Supermoon? What is this? Is it an astronomical phenomenon similar to the full moon? But even if so, so what? Is there any necessary connection between this and the use of the power of starlight to remove the crystal from Aris's body? ”

Chenxing still asked puzzled.

"The so-called Supermoon is a full moon that is five times larger than the average full moon night, hence its name! Let me give you a brief introduction: when the Moon orbits the planet Chronos, it goes through about fourteen rounds.

In astronomy, it is also known as the fourteen "synodic months", and when combined into 413.4 days, the moon will reach the largest, roundest, and fullest time of the fourteen full moons.

In this case, the full moon will be like a "condenser" that gathers the light, which can condense all the brilliant lights in the star field; To illustrate with a real-life example, it is like using a magnifying glass made of convex lenses to collect sunlight and use light energy to generate a powerful heat to incinerate leaves. ”

Sometsuki patiently explained the principle of the "Supermoon", fearing that Chenxing would not understand the meaning of the supermoon and act recklessly, disrupting his original plan.

"What do you mean? Is it very likely that Siralda and Bad Filier will not activate the "Arc of Watch" until three days after the appearance of the Supermoon and attack Alyss? So, do you want to wait until that night to rescue Yaris? ”

"You've finally got the hang of it! That's right, that's what I originally planned! ”

"But is there such a trouble? Isn't it the same as going now in three days? Moreover, after three days, time seems to be too rushed, and it is also the time when the enemy is most vigilant, are we really in time? ”

"Whether it's too late or not, we have to do it! Because in this sea, the two of them are not only the leading wealthy businessmen, but also the founders of the mercenary group "Arc Shadow", and more importantly, they are deeply popular here.

So, we don't know where our "new base" is, and we don't know where Alice is being held, so what should we do? ”

"There is some truth to what you said, but before the mission, didn't Lord Sect King say that as long as it is the "Midsummer Night", it should be considered that the mission has been completed, and there will be S-class mages to greet us, right? So, where are those people?"

"Therefore, it is imperative that we find people who will accept us, and then ask them some important information about the new business giant "Habril", only then can we rationally analyze the rescue plan!

But we must not be too public! Because, the enemy is now a legitimate business organization, and has its own armed forces, if they bite us back and say that we are pirates, it will be trouble! This can only be done in secret!

Otherwise, even if we find the S-class magician who is responsible for receiving us, it is very likely that we will be killed by this huge force! ”

"I see! I understand! Originally, I thought that they were just an enchantment with the help of "fog magic", so they could only hide in the forest and do some shady things, but I didn't expect to be ready to do this! ”

After hearing about the powerful relationship, Chenxing calmed down, followed Dye Yue's advice, and acted cautiously.

Chenxing: "Then what should we do in the next three days?" ”

Sometsuki: "I want to have lunch here first, and then in the afternoon, I will go to the opposite "main island" to wander around, I should be able to find something, it is better than staying here all the time!" ”

"It seems that your mind is better than mine, I am too impulsive!"

Chenxing continued to hold his little head, "Heh, heh, heh", smiling shyly.

・・・・・・

On the "Midsummer Night" close to hundreds of developed islands, there is an island hidden by a special magic enchantment, the island is not very large, but all idle people are strictly forbidden to enter.

Many years ago, this was an obscure island, but now it has been artificially developed into an "official residence" that can provide accommodation for mercenary groups and some business leaders; Therefore, in this place, a wide variety of trade secret documents are kept.

However, in one of the quaint "Gothic" castles, two figures were sitting in a mahogany chair, sipping coffee, while the other seemed to have ingested too much coffee and was unusually excited, leaning back on the sofa in a semi-recumbent position, but now standing up and going to the bedroom refrigerator, squeezing out the cream and spreading it on the coffee.

Then, he walked excitedly around the room, as if thinking about something, and then opened the turquoise curtains and looked out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

First of all, audibly, a tidal sound is transmitted to the inside of the eardrum of the ear, causing resonant vibrations. Secondly, there is the wind of the sea, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and green grass.

Finally, what catches the eye is a vibrant green space, where unknown wildflowers inhabit the second, and the stamens flutter like dandelions as the wind and the sun fall; Gaze pleasing to the eye at the --- at the end of the greenery and wildflowers, the magnificent bay scenery.

"Lord Bad Ferrier, today's newspaper, you see, our base in the "Golden Channel", the Tower of Babylon, is now completely destroyed, as we expected! ”

Hildarda stirred the cream on the coffee with a spoon and licked it, her eyes full of excitement.

"Are you so happy that all my men have been arrested?"

Butterfilier grumbled as he continued to gulp down the strong coffee, but he didn't put in his cup of coffee, let alone cream, or even the rock candy used to hide the crying taste.

And when he said this, he could clearly see the look of chagrin on his face, which gave people a bitter and unbearable taste like the original coffee.

"Lord Butterfiller, I'm not excited that all of your men have been arrested. Because, there's nothing of value in that excites me. I just wanted you to know that this is the same as I expected seven years ago!

It shows that our plan has always been correct; The future fits perfectly with our blueprint! This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future.

You don't have to worry too much, think about it in three days, we will have eternal youth! Heh, heh, heh"

At this point, Sildara continued to laugh, sometimes low, sometimes high, sometimes hidden, sometimes empty-eyed.

Butterfiller: "Oops~, forget it!" But you are indeed a great strategist, and you thought of the importance of this sea as early as the outbreak of the Battle of the Plains of "Orpots";

It is suggested that we should use the defected troops as bait and place them in the "Golden Channel" to attract the attention of hostile forces.

Then, all the valuable materials looted from the "Golden Channel" are sold and exchanged for money to invest here. using "money laundering" techniques to launder black money;

And in the process of doing business, like a saint, he gives alms to civilians, micro-businesses, and disadvantaged groups, and invests in various public welfare undertakings・・・・・・

even thought of contacting the local area, the pirates who had been doing evil for many years, attacked the "John family", and in times of crisis, directed and acted in a subtle drama to win the gratitude of others, and annihilated all the pirates who were lured into, and they were already extinguished;

And in the end, while gaining the gratitude of others, he took advantage of the contradictions between the chaebols, intrigues, and watching the fire from the other side, and blamed the hostile chaebols for this matter, so that in terms of business competition, they used the solid foundation of the "John family" for hundreds of years to enhance their influence and appeal, and squeezed out the chaebols who were unaccustomed to it and repeatedly opposed us out of the "midsummer night".

He is worthy of being a top student of "Emperor's Swings". I didn't expect all of this to come true! The old man has lived for decades, and he has never seen such a rapid rise in his career, which is really terrifying!

Heh, heh, heh"

Butterfilell ceased his distressed expression and closed his eyes for a moment; Then, he returned to the same calm mood as usual, as if he was deliberately comforting himself, with a ray of hope, joyfully recounting the glorious achievements of so many years of hard work and planning!

Shiralda: "Matter determines consciousness, if we hadn't given the "strategic material repository" of the Gartingyan Empire, which should have been used for the "Orpots Plains", it would have been impossible to obtain enough material foundation for us to become a giant in such a short period of time!" ”

Thanks to the material resources stored inside, which have a certain value, and the large number of silver coins, gold coins, and even "platinum gold coins" stored in --- inside. Thanks to this, we have been able to achieve such brilliant achievements in such a short period of time as the mysterious "Hablil" chaebol family.

No matter how subtle my plan is, if I hadn't succeeded in convincing you to turn your back on the Flame Empire, the so-called plans and schemes would have been stuck in the grand blueprint and would never have been put into practice. That's why you're the key to this plan!

However, then again, the subordinates you have led to my side and defected, whether in the Gartingyan Empire or the Shengchen Empire, are all wanted.

What's more, in such a peaceful era, of course, they have become the target of public criticism. This is also doomed that they cannot be entrusted with important tasks by us, and can only be responsible for the sighing fate of "feints".

If we always rely on this armed force and are not recognized by the laws and systems formulated by the government, sooner or later we will be completely annihilated in a war of attrition!

That's why we need to develop the "Arc Shadow", which is a legally active mercenary group under the noses of governments! An organization that is supported by the law, the system, even colleagues and businessmen, and the general public! Its existence is the armed force that can guarantee the smooth implementation of our plan! ”

Speaking of which, in his demeanor, Siralda showed a "strategizing" arrogance, as if everything was planned・・・・・・
