Chapter 80 Negotiating Deals

The cliffside cottage is a place where the three religions and the nine streams live, and although it is not very conspicuous on the outside, it can be found when you enter it, but it is actually more like a castle that has been designed and hidden by the 'spirits'.

The boneless lady took Albert and Kegunne to a room that might have been used for reception, and a seven or eight-year-old child was playing alone in it, and when she saw someone coming in, she quickly patted her butt and disappeared.

"This is a poor fellow with no father and no mother, and if we hadn't taken him in, I guess he would have been thrown into the sea of horror." The boneless lady said with a smile, as if she was proud of what she had done.

"I've heard that the weather changes from day to day, and if your ship isn't big enough, I guess ......," Albert was anxious to know what was going on.

"Don't underestimate us, sir, if you want to talk about the size of the ships, I'll admit it's a bit out of the flow, but it's actually an advantage, those Imperial ships are huge, and they beat us up to several of them, but they're slower and slower to turn, and once we know which direction the wind is blowing, with a little artificial power, they can't pose any threat to you and me."

"You're not just going to be in this smuggling business, are you?"

"Of course not. After all, such a strict lockdown has only recently begun, and although there have been intermittent business before, if you live on this alone, you will definitely starve to death." The boneless lady said, "Pull open" a stained landscape painting on the wall, and a round handle was slightly 'exposed' inside. Come with me, big brother is waiting for you down there."

The dwarf Kai Gen muttered at this time, "Your eldest brother is definitely my relative, otherwise how would he like to live here."

It turned out that the hut was carved all the way down by the edge of the cliff, and it was obvious that there must be magic in it, otherwise, it would have been impossible to dig it by manpower without more than ten years of hard work.

As he descended the spiral staircase, Kagong remarked, "Damn, how is this place so similar to the abandoned house where the angels of the nerves lived in the wilderness, the same endless steps, the same damp walls, don't tell me that your eldest brother can play the piano too."

The Boneless Lady smiled and shook her head, pointing to a dark blue place below and saying, "It's almost there."

There are glowing fluorites all around the entire downward tunnel as natural lighting, and Albert feels a little uneasy in his heart, because this kind of thing is hardly much different from cold crystal, and cold crystal is the only choice for pagan mages to enhance their magic.

The eldest brother of the boneless lady looked to be a middle-aged, medium-sized fellow, who called himself Justin, covered in a red robe, and had a small scimitar around his waist.

Albert asked silently, "Your Excellency is one of Pisius's men."

"Exactly." Justin looked a little surprised. You know His Holiness."

"Since I have asked for your help, there is nothing to hide. Duke Borot of the Tamborance Empire, because the Emperor has been murderous towards me, so I have changed my face and come here in Constantinople, thinking that I can cross the sea and take refuge in the country of Hope."

"The famous Duke Borot." The red robe was overjoyed, and he also introduced himself with twelve points of sincerity. Justin, the Grand Cardinal of the Lower Cortesian, has taken root here by order of the Holy See, and you don't happen to be a polymath, Duke."

Albert replied quietly: "As long as you are a citizen of the Tamborance Empire, it is difficult for anyone to openly admit that they are not followers of Bojiao.

Justin laughed and applauded, "Wit, honesty, you have two of the most important virtues in the world, it looks like we can 'make' friends."

After a staggered cup of glasses, Albert spoke with the strength of his wine: "Your Excellency, I am the fallen duke, although my name is very famous, but there is not a single soldier behind me, you are like an independent kingdom here, why can you agree to help me?"

Justin 'touched' his sparse long beard and replied with a smile: "My biggest task here is to expand my network and raise funds. You are a duke, and you are in a hurry to go to sea. The relationship between you and the emperor is like ours with Bojiao, to the point that water and fire are incompatible, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, and since we are now innocent and unenmated, then it is better to be friends with harmony. Maybe we can go on multiple paths in the future.

Albert nodded in satisfaction.

"How many people are on your side?" Justin asked after three rounds of drinking.

The table they were at was made entirely of dark blue fluorite, and this light was not dazzling at all, but it was a great relaxation to one's mind. The dwarf Kaigan was a very good drinker, but for some reason, he was drunk earlier than anyone else. Albert was not very worried, because in this atmosphere, it was a good thing to have one less mouth that was often prone to nonsense. He calmly replied, "About seven or eight people."

"It's going to be very easy, just a very ordinary boat to get you safely to Hope Island." Justin in the red robe is very confident.

"Your Excellency, I have absolute confidence in your strength, but the Empire is not prepared for anything, they may use the same fast boat to pursue and encircle us, if that happens, the situation will be extremely serious......"

"Your concern, of course, your concerns are justified, but we dare to accept the ticket because we have already thought of a way to deal with it." Justin said, picking up the glass and taking a sip. The Redthroat is a good helper for us."

"Redthroat Bird." Albert thought of the name of the tavern.

"Exactly." Justin is full of pride." Bojiao has been emphasizing his orthodox 'sexuality'. They denounce all magic in the woods and the wilderness as heretics.They think that studying in the study all day is the right way.But the heavens are not so boring.It has created so many strange animals and plants.It has created so many creatures with different interests.It just wants to remind us.Don't be confined to a certain realm.The Kotés are really not very good in some ways.So that many outsiders regard us as robbers who kill and set fires.But I, the chief cardinal, have been trying to change this image.Red-throated bird'Sexual' is violent, and when I'm hungry and faint, I will attack humans in hordes, but I can tame them, and make them work for me."

"You're using magic." Albert's face showed an incredible expression, although he had been exposed to many things in the Danse Forest that he had never thought of before, but in order to satisfy Justin's pride, the young duke deliberately played the drama enough to provide himself with enough room to maneuver.

"Yes, magic, a magic that the Edudite disdains to use and will not delve into. We all know that the pointy-eared 'elves' can control the black bears or werewolves in the forest, and they even have druids who can transform themselves into various animals. Why can't we humans?It's not that we humans can't.It's that no one has ever wanted to try.They're all bound by the dogma of the Orthodox.The windows of magic are completely closed.Only the endless obedience remains.We in Kotés want to break this stereotype.Let people fully enjoy the convenience of magic.We can use this magic to truly control sheep, cows, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, and other animals.All kinds of other applications will spring up like spring after rain. When the time comes, the entire Bodi continent will benefit from this......"

Justin is more and more agitated, and the bias is getting worse and worse, but Albert still has a great deal of patience to listen, because when there is a request for someone, it is worth it.

The red-robed mage suddenly realized something after he had said it in a foreign voice, and he hurriedly 'touched' his sparse long beard, and called a few small minions on the side, "I won't leave you in vain, let them send you back safely, and when everything is ready, I'll let the boneless brother come and inform you."

"Thank you, but I have a very difficult matter to discuss with you." Albert is a little lacking in confidence.

"Just talk."

"My mother and my men and I fled from Birthi in a hurry, and it is impossible to hide a lot of coins on our bodies, and if your asking price is too high, I am afraid that our 'trade' will not be able to ......."

Justin laughed again, "It's a trivial matter, didn't I just say it, there are only two purposes for making a living, either to make money, or to 'make friends'.

"Your Excellency, haven't you thought about it, as soon as I am confirmed to be in the country of Hope, Emperor Deliot will immediately strip me of my title, and then your business will be at a loss." Albert deliberately 'provoked' the other party to make sure that the other party was genuine.

"The Duke underestimates me, the Emperor takes turns to come to my house next year, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, your situation is worse than ours now, but our Kotés Sect is actually not much better.

'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
