Chapter 42 Preparation for the Meeting
Juliet left Budong Island, and after Da Liang asked the Black Pearl to circle around the island, let the people on the island have a good look at the air and space warship, and also ordered the team to return home.
At this point, the demonstration of the Black Fire Company against the Scarab Company ended. It was a long time before the survivors of the island walked out of their hiding places in a panic. The dock was still burning, and the sailors dragged their tired bodies step by step onto the beach, and then looked back at the battleship that had completely sunk into the naval battle.
It is estimated that no one expected that they would encounter such a battle, and in the face of an air-space battleship, their weapons did not have any effect. The sense of superiority of working for Scarab Company is gone, and he worries about whether he will be able to survive the continued conflict with Blackfire in the future.
However, the comfort of the company's headquarters also came soon.
Death pensions and special war bonuses, combined with a commitment from headquarters to actively negotiate with Blackfire to end the violent competition, finally allowed the Budong Pharmacy Factory to resume production.
At the same time, the gag order issued by the headquarters of the Scarab Company also made the outside world not aware of the presence of an air and space warship on this island, which does not exist with any nautical charts.
The world continues its course.
As Da Liang returned to the city of Saroyan aboard the Black Pearl, news came from Miss Anne that her father, the Marquis of Whitehead, had invited him to meet at the Governor's House in Marcellus.
It's finally time to meet the big boss of Saroyan!
Da Liang still attaches great importance to this meeting, the future high-tech industry chain of "University Alliance", if you want to develop steadily, you need the support of local preferential policies, and you need to have a large enough market to meet the sales of new products, so as to facilitate the formation of a virtuous cycle of capital chain.
There is another important thing...... It's that Da Liang needs money.
A lot of money can be used to realize the new concept proposed by Da Liang, and the Marquis of Whitehead is a very good partner.
Sophia and the maids serve Da Liang and put on their newly made gowns. The off-white shirt with a black bow tie, a silk tuxedo, a bowler hat, and a cane make Da Liang look like a very well-bred gentleman.
Sophia asked the maids to stand around Da Liang with four dressing mirrors, and she said while sorting out the wrinkles of Da Liang's dress: "Minia and Hurricane have met with Charles, and our alchemy lab has officially begun to improve and optimize the adaptive computer. ”
Da Liang looked at his clothes left and right, and said at the same time: "The adaptive computer has an immeasurable effect on our future technological improvement, so that Master Nicole has set this project as the highest priority support item, and any problem that arises in the adaptive computer must be solved by sending the best alchemist to help solve it."
In addition, after the performance of the adaptive computer is improved, it will bring a huge energy consumption, and the alchemy laboratory should prepare an energy source suitable for the adaptive computer in advance. ”
Sophia replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will report your intentions to Master Nicole immediately." In addition, the Marquis of Whitehead's invitation to you was heard by the Council of Marcellus.
Speaker Peters asks to gaze into the abyss to assassinate you on the way. ”
Da Liang frowned slightly and asked, "How did the Council of Marcellus come together with the Gazing Abyss." ”
Sophia explained the relationship between Peters and Staring into the Abyss for Da Liang, and then said, "Do we need to do anything in advance?" Or just wipe out the Gaze Abyss and the Council of Marcellus......"
"No!" Da Liang didn't think too much about it and said: "Gazing into the Abyss and the Council of Marcellus still have a necessity to exist, they and the empire contain each other, so that I can concentrate on doing what I want to do well."
Just kill the killer sent by the Abyss-Gaze. ”
Sophia said with a strange expression: "Inside the killer sent by the abyss...... There are two Nightmares that Heromon gave to Father Titus, and now they have joined the Abyss of Gaze and will participate in the ambush against you. ”
"The two nightmares are just right to stun you......" Da Liang felt that he was almost ready, so he asked the maids to retreat with the mirrors, and asked Sophia, "Has Miss Anne arrived?" ”
"Miss Anne is already waiting for you in the hall."
"Then let's go."
Da Liang walked out of the room, and Sophia helped him follow with a cane, and then met Miss Anne in the hall, also in an evening dress.
Seeing Young Master Liang dressed so formally, Miss Anne knew that this meeting would be of great significance to the Whitehead family and the Flominck Empire. She lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Da Liang like a noble lady, and said, "Young Master Liang, hello." My father is already waiting for you at the Doge's Palace, and he is very much looking forward to this meeting with you, and has sent the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment as an escort to meet you.
The carriage is ready. ”
Eric and Robin, who were following Miss Anne, also saluted Da Liang.
Da Liang said casually: "We are already very familiar with it, and we don't need this kind of polite rhetoric." I'll take my own carriage and go now...... Don't keep the Marquis waiting. ”
Miss Anne returned to her usual relaxed appearance, and after seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, she said, "A friend told me that there is a very strong organization that wants to assassinate you, and it is clear that someone wants to sabotage your cooperation with the Empire.
I don't know if the news of your meeting with my father leaked out this time......
I'm sure your subordinates will keep you safe, but just in case, take a ride in the carriage I have prepared for you. There are five identical wagons in the entire team to minimize the threat to you. ”
In these days, Anne has some understanding of Da Liang's current situation. She knew that Da Liang was really learning magic because he had no magic power, and his body was just an ordinary human child. Although I don't know what happened to Young Master Liang, who should be a super powerhouse, became like this, he is indeed vulnerable to harm now.
Even with the protection of so many ancient heroes, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no lapses in the face of long-range snipers or roadside bombs.
Anne attaches great importance to the good relationship she has finally established with Young Master Liang, so after receiving the news that someone is going to assassinate her, she immediately took the most comprehensive protection measures.
After leaving the Avenue Elysée, the five carriages will split into five identical convoys and travel from five different routes to the Doge's Palace. This would make the Assassin hesitate, with a high chance of missing or abandoning the assassination plan.
In response to Anne's kindness, Da Liang said, "Miss Anne, please believe in the power from the ancient magical age. No one can hurt me in my carriage...... And I'm not as weak as you think. ”
With that, Da Liang suddenly disappeared from Anne's face. Then the voice passed in the direction of the gate: "Let's go, no one will disturb us along the way." ”
When Anne turned around, she saw the elf butler Mike opening the door, and Young Master Liang had already walked out.
