Chapter 21: Pulling Hatred (1)
Bishop William is greedy for money, but he is not a fool, and explanations like Royo's mouth, which are undoubtedly full of flaws, can be understood by anyone who cares. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Murong Tao looked at Lu Thor and the Governor with amusement, and it was obvious that these two people were also right about their lines. It's just that this Captain Luthor is obviously not sincere enough, and the Lord of Royo has a bigger appetite and wants to intervene on both sides, maybe he also sees the future prospects of fish and chips, and wants to share a piece of the pie, right?
Enjoy the good things! Murong Tao snorted coldly, and his attention was instead on Bishop William, who had been silent and had an angry face. It seems that he made the right bet from the beginning, there is an unsolvable gap between the bishop and the governor, as long as there is this gap, it is impossible for the two people to reconcile, and at the same time, the Kingdom of France is still nominally a Catholic country, and it is a period when religion is higher than the imperial power, and a small governor wants to fight against Catholicism, which is obviously a fool's dream!
"The Governor has a lot of opportunities, I didn't expect to be so attentive to some trivial matters of the people, when will the movement of this small chamber of commerce enter the eyes of the Governor, will it be too much?" The meaning of Bishop William's words did not reveal much disgust, but he was more or less dissatisfied with Captain Luthor and even the Luther Chamber of Commerce, if according to the previous script, it would be better for everyone to get together and disperse, and they had to make this kind of thing while they were still there, although the contradiction between Francs and Luther has been going on for a long time, and that Marcus is said to be the fuse, but how do you look at Francs, they are all unaware of it, what is this Luther going to do?
"Now that the old love has been written off, Captain Luthor, you are here today with so many people to congratulate the launch of our new sailor's tavern?" Murong Tao broke the silence and shifted the attention of everyone around him to Luther, the governor of Royo couldn't help but glance at Murong Tao, at his level, Murong Tao's small movements were clear at a glance, and Royo just had the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, just waiting to see a good show.
"Presumptuous! Where is the place for you to speak before the Governor and the Bishop? Captain Luthor has obviously recognized Murong Tao as the kid who made a big gambling contract with him in the first place, since he has torn his face, it is better to impose the governor's dissatisfaction with him to the Sailor's Tavern, even if he can't get the fish and chips, he can't cheapen the Sailor's Tavern, a powerless rootless wanderer.
Franks and the others were also surprised by Murong Tao's actions, hadn't they always followed the script before? It was obviously not appropriate to provoke Luthor at this time, and besides, the Governor of Royo obviously would not help the Sailor Tavern, that must have reached some agreement to come to help, and even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be so simple, and it wouldn't be solved smoothly without a layer of skin.
That was still a random task that popped up in the Agent system when Governor Royo appeared, since it is called a random task, it is a specific task that will only appear on a specific occasion and at a specific time, this kind of task often has a good experience value, and the reason why Murong Tao took this task is also because of the experience value.
"Random Mission: Solve the provocation from Captain Luthor and gain 150 XP. Bonus: Come up with a solution to Captain Luther's threat within six hours, and bonus additional XP or items depending on the level of difficulty. ā
To put it bluntly, Murong Tao was just full of curiosity about the two words "props" that appeared at the end of the extra reward, and the others were just incidental, anyway, if Captain Luther's provocation was not solved today, let alone the launch of a new product, even whether the Sailor's Tavern could continue to survive would be a question.
Although Bishop William has some indirect relationship with Francs, this bishop is also the lord who does not see the benefits and does not scatter the eagle, although he can take advantage of the conflict between him and Governor Royo to make a fuss, but it is obvious that the two are still in the honeymoon period, and neither of them wants to completely tear their faces now. If you want Bishop William to completely fall to his side, there is no doubt that there must be enough profit to drive, and it is obvious that the high profits and development prospects that will be brought by fish and chips are the premise for the Bishop to take the initiative to lean over.
"Captain Luther, that's a mistake." Francs, who had not spoken, suddenly retorted, "This is not an ordinary waiter in a tavern, is it true that he just changed his outfit, and you don't know him?" You made a big bet that you would repay 10 times the principal in a year, don't you care about this huge debt? Or do you think everyone else is a fool and want to involve innocent people in the battle between me and you? ā
An innocent man took a stand, and there was a brief commotion from all around him, and if it weren't for the presence of Governor Royo and Bishop William, someone might have been tempted to throw the rubble at Captain Luthor.
Governor Royo touched his nose and secretly said that he was also an innocent person, and it was just for some old friendships (bribery friendships) and the reason why he could continue to deepen the friendship (continuous bribery) that he would bring the city guards to find the field for Luther, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had someone who was more capable than the sky to find William's "vampire", which was really a mistake!
Bishop William's face looked a little better, he thought that Franks meant him by innocent man, and his eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Francs. Not really! In the end, he didn't have a lot of money left, those nobles and businessmen were fine once or twice, and they began to use some excuses and reasons to start rejecting him, of course, there must be a mention from the governor Royo, he didn't openly go to the governor's mansion to collect money to give him face, and he dared to provoke others against him, I don't know whether I live or die!
"That's right, you're the same Captain Luthor who stopped me at the dock market and seduced me with a big reward, right?" After only a brief hesitation, Murong Tao took a few steps forward and said with a smile, deliberately revealing the appearance that was the way it was, "I said why do you have to ask my captain's grandfather to vouch for the Sailor's Tavern before you are willing to gamble with me, it turns out that the real meaning is that you want to drag the Governor into the water, you want to let the Governor and the Bishop be estranged because of these small things at the sacred moment when Bishop William gave the name of our Sailor's Tavern, and you want to kidnap the Governor in your carriage and attack our tavern." As for the chefs who have been hired with great difficulty, they are just your excuses, and I don't see how these people have any qualifications to compare with our head chef, Mr. Bayard! ā
"You... You are talking nonsense! Although Captain Luthor responded immediately, this level of response seemed a little weak to the discerning person, and he became even more suspicious of Captain Luther's motives, which naturally included the Governor Royo.
For Royo, the governor who has no emotional basis between the two and has completely relied on the unilateral export of interests to maintain to this day, naturally understands the meaning of Murong Tao's words, feelings You Lu Thore is ready to take me into the pit! Although it is well known that I am at odds with Bishop William, we are not willing to pierce this layer of window paper, so what are you trying so hard to make us stalemate? Could it be that there is some unfavorable news from Paris? Are you ready to pick up the stinky feet of a great nobleman so soon?
"Am I talking nonsense, there is a person who knows best, he can see clearly from the side from beginning to end, and many people present here will not be strangers to him." Murong Tao said and beckoned to the short and fat man in the crowd, "Hey, Mr. Willy, how long are you going to stand there?" ā
That's right, this person is none other than Fat Willy.
Originally, he was going to come to Murong Tao to further discuss cooperation matters, but he didn't expect to meet Captain Luthor on the way to find fault with someone, and later saw Governor Royo openly supporting Captain Luther, which made him have already made up his mind that there was a crack, if it was just in the face of the Luther Chamber of Commerce, he could fight, the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, but that is the Governor of Cherbourg Port! A small businessman like himself is not even a fart in front of the Governor, let alone the Luther Chamber of Commerce, which has the support of the Governor, can give up his original small wishes, just hoping that the family can live.
Fat Willy, who was suddenly stopped by Murong Tao, had already made up his mind to stay away from here, and when he found countless pairs of eyes around him staring at him, his heart was apprehensive, and he wanted to stand up and clarify to everyone around him that there was nothing to do with the waiter of this sailor's tavern, but Murong Tao's words in the next step completely broke his entire plan.
"Mr. Wiley, you are not accustomed to the conscientious merchant whose Luther Chamber of Commerce monopolizes the fish trade in Cherbourg, and the owner of our sailor's tavern, and the friendship with my captain's grandfather, are you the first to stand up and show your support for our bet? To be honest, I almost wanted to hug you and cry. Murong Tao described the situation passionately, it was really sad for the listeners and tears for the hearers, and everyone's disgust for Captain Luthor went to a higher level, but the eyes that looked at Fat Willy softened, and the nobles who were originally unwilling to look at him all gave him a look of approval, as if they planned to talk to this conscientious businessman after this matter.
"Hmph, this is just your side of the story, what kind of virtue does Fat Willy have, I don't know?" Lu Thor saw that the person Murong Tao said was actually Fat Willy, and his eyes were full of disdain, "This kind of waste, even if you lend him a hundred guts, he won't dare to come out and say half a word!" ā
