Chapter 213: Touching the Melons (2-in-1)
After listening to Helliga's story, the confusion on Levy's face eased slightly, but he still didn't understand some questions, "I know what you think...... Just, wouldn't it be too risky? Being able to pollute something like the Rider must not be an ordinary malice, are you really sure that there will be no problems? ”
"Actually, I'm hoping that Vita can help, and that's because of this...... Because she should be able to judge this kind of problem. m. I'm not sure. Heliga nodded, "But I guess there should be no problem." As a former member of the Society, you should understand how it is defined and how powerful it is. ”
"So, what are you going to do with that blue rider? It seems that his relationship with Kane Gong is not so simple. Levy's meaning couldn't be more obvious, the Imperial Liberation Front was able to make so many amazing moves half a year before the start of the civil war, and without the support of Duke Kane behind it, how could it escape the eyes of Prime Minister Osborne and the Intelligence Agency? Kane definitely played a crucial role in this. Chloe's affection for Kane Gong is also one thing, what if he is really loyal to Kane Gong? As his initiator, Vita and his actions have long been commonplace, and Chloe will most likely see the anomaly through this.
"Wait for me to test it." "I'm not too sure. But I don't think Vita has hidden the fact that the Scarlet Rider can't be opened by Lord Kane. Besides, since Kane Gong is just using Chloe as a tool to clear obstacles, I think the relationship between them is more of a mutually beneficial relationship, and there should be no such thing as kindness and righteousness. ”
"If so, you act in secret...... If not...... "Levi didn't continue," Levi continued, "in that case, what are you going to do with this side of things?" ”
"I'll leave a plan, and just act according to that plan. Several of them should have been arranged by His Highness Olibat to ensure the legitimacy of their actions and avoid further involvement in the civil war. "As for myself...... After getting the things, I think I'll find a chance to run away on my own. Anyway, the alliance of nobles is originally a ghost, as long as it is not too obvious, I don't think it is a big problem. ”
"In that case, then I won't ask any more. Until then, I'll stay here. Anyway, the guy named Yusis came to me before, and what you had been thinking about before seemed to have taken a turn for the better. ”
"Oh?" Helliga rolled his eyes, "That's right, use this as an excuse to prevaricate for a while." If he asks me for help, I'll use this excuse to try to buy a little time for the senior sisters and them to prepare. ”
With a surge of spiritual power, a bunch of people appeared out of thin air on the originally empty ground, and there was a huge statue of a knight. This is the same person who successfully returned from the area of the Nolde Plateau. This clearing in the depths of the Lunalia Natural Park was originally infested with demonic beasts nearby, and after Jusis took control of the real power of Kruchen, he intentionally or unintentionally relaxed the vigilance in this area, and the reason for announcing it to the public was of course to avoid any unpleasant conflicts between the Conferate army of Kruchen and the inhabitants of Keldick after that, but in fact, it was to provide the necessary convenience for the rider to hide here.
At present, the only people who know the secret of the Grey Rider are Lane's related, as well as Vita and others. However, it was impossible for Vita and the others to sabotage the plans of the association in the first place, so letting them know that these things would not affect at all, and putting the riding god here would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Heliga and Lévy had already arrived, waiting, it was the time they had agreed on last night. Li En and the others are still very punctual. Of course, it wasn't that they deliberately had to delay their return until almost noon, but because they were all very tired from a vicious battle yesterday, and it would take quite a while to get from Gaius's settlement to a place in the northwestern part of the plateau that would allow the rider to transfer his spiritual power. Therefore, Heliga simply told them that it was okay to come a little later, at least not to let the body have problems due to lack of rest.
"Long time no see." Heliga greeted Alyssa, Gaius, and Miriam, "Faye is still at my house, and Jusis will only have time to come in the afternoon." I've just contacted him before, and I'm going to talk to him about something. ”
"What's going on?" Miriam asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I've heard that you seem to want to do something in Jussy's territory......
"In layman's terms, it's a personal vendetta." Heiliga pursed her lips, "I don't think it's necessary to tell you the specific details, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I'm going to visit Jusses, and you guys should go back with Lévy first. ”
"Don't forget to bring Jusis with you in the afternoon." Alyssa reminded her.
"Laura, don't forget about them." Macchias reminded him.
"Ann la, it's impossible to forget." Heiliga nodded, the reunion was not easy to say, no matter how you say it, she will take it as a top priority in the short term.
"Master Jusis, it's time." Arnold, the old butler, said respectfully on the side. Listening to his words, Jusis put down the pen in his hand and slowly got up.
"I see...... It will be the representative of the board of directors of Gongdu Bank. Jusis whispered, "What's the matter with him?" ”
"It's still the same thing as before, about the borrowing rate...... The representative said that the conditions you gave him were too harsh for the bank's board of directors to approve such a ......"
"In that case, tell him that this is my last concession. If you can't do that, you don't have to think about the rest of it. Jusis thought for a moment, then said.
"With all due respect, young master...... I don't quite understand what exactly you think. That kind of interest rate setting is too harsh no matter how you think about it...... This is not good for the bank's cash flow in the future. Not to mention"
"That's what happened...... Now it is no more than in peacetime. Let this group of people let out the loan sharks and harm the people here? Jusis snorted coldly, "I think that's fine." Before, my father hadn't been able to take care of them for various reasons, but now it's time to clean up. That's right...... Speaking of fathers...... How has he been? ”
"Lord Helmut is all right now...... When I went yesterday, he was still relatively normal. However, the maids still occasionally heard him muttering something in the room. I wonder if you let him ...... too."
"He told you that, right?" Jusis smiled, "At this point, it won't help if I let go here...... His house arrest was a joint decision between him and the representatives of the regular army, and it was one of the bargaining chips used in exchange for the regular army to avoid going directly to the ducal palace. If I break my promise here, the Elbare family's reputation will be damaged again. ”
"......," Arnold butler stopped talking.
"That's what he said. If he's still dissatisfied, switch to someone with a deck. I'm an acting duke, and I'm not a duke if anyone wants to see me. Jusis sneered, "Send him away in ten minutes, and then drive to the restaurant in the city." ”
"It's you...... The one you frequent? Arnold asked softly.
"Well, that's it. I have a friend who will be here later today. At the mention of this shop, the corners of Jussi's mouth barely squeezed out a smile, "This afternoon's work will be put on hold for the time being." All those who have something to meet, let them postpone until tomorrow. ”
“…… Be. "Although I don't know why his second young master's temperament has become like this, but at least, what he is doing is making the El Bare family, which is gradually losing its credibility, normal, just by virtue of this, Butler Arnold still doesn't know what to say.
The current Jusses is somewhat like Lufas a long time ago, who treated the nobles with impeccable manners and grace in front of them, but behind the scenes he was calculating one callous idea after another.
After thinking about it, Arnold only had an instinctive instinct, and Young Master Jusis must have become like this because of the influence that the boy from the Viscount's family in the border area of the empire brought to him. Definitely.
"I see...... You're right. In a box on the second floor of an ordinary-looking Imperial Dining Room on Noble Street, Heliga and Jussius finally met, and what the two had just been talking about was what Jussius had encountered at home before he left the Duke's Palace.
"I don't know much about what happened before, but I do know their style. According to the financial laws of the Empire, they have already made a lot of mistakes...... If it weren't for my father's political leanings in favor of the aristocracy, he would not have responded to the laws passed by the reformers......"
"Well, their actions are not good for the Duke's family either. It's all about squeezing Krutchen through the money in their hands and putting all the money into their own pockets. I think they must have been waiting and testing you for a while, to see what kind of energy you had as the second son of the Duke's family, who had suddenly ascended to the throne somehow and was originally inconspicuous in their hearts. As a result, during this time, our operation center was not on their side, and they probably couldn't hold it back, mistakenly thinking that you were some kind of soft persimmon, just a puppet of the regular army, so they have put a lot of pressure on you recently. ”
"And then you came back right at this time? Is this something you're planning to do? Jusis asked with a smirk.
"I'm surprised that this is exactly what happened today." Hailiga spread his hands, "But anyway, it's such a process, even if it's not today, it will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... It won't be too far anyway. It just so happens that I need such a small trouble to hold myself back, lest the old slippery heads of the regular army come and look for trouble. ”
"Why? I remember, weren't you also involved in the events in Notia? Jusis was puzzled.
"Unlike here, I don't have a close co-stake in the Rogner family over there. My classmate sister is just a nodding acquaintance, and she doesn't know Alyssa's mother at all, and I don't know the situation over there. Although brute force is also an option, the number of casualties would be too many...... Not in line with my policy. Heiliga shook his head, "So, it just so happens that they have a connection with their classmates and sisters this time, and I think they can take advantage of this opportunity to be just like you." The affairs of the Elbarian's family will be settled by themselves, and the Rogner family will be able to deal with it as well...... The Marquis of Rogner is a little more reasonable than your father, and he is not a sinister like your father, but a royalist. ”
"That's right...... Someone like the Marquis of Rogner would have made the Reich respectful no matter what. For this evaluation, Jusis has nothing to refute, but agrees, "In this way, I can also give Senior Sister Angelica some time, so as not to let the problems in the family spread......"
"And Irina Ryanfolt will certainly do it for her own benefit. The current situation of the civil war is not clear, and it is not a good thing to change the status quo easily. Heliga nodded.
"It's just that, in this case, it is impossible for Duke Kane to watch you do this again, right?" Jusis said, "The Elbare family is something he's given up on, so it's normal for him not to care...... But Notia is by far the biggest supporter of him. If something goes wrong in such a place, the civil war advantage that he has built up so hard will not be there...... Won't he trouble you? ”
"That's right." Heliga smiled satisfied, "That's one of my goals to get him to come to me. And that's all I'll tell you...... I had planned this not long ago. At that point, I may not be back here for a long time to be involved in your affairs. I'll try my best to spare His Highness Olibat, and come back here to assist you...... I'll be with Kane for a while. ”
"Why? Is there anything he has in place that is worth your doing? "Jusis is strange.
"Yes. I can't say the specifics, it won't be long before you know...... In short, he might see it as a possible place...... When the time comes, please arrange it a little bit so that nothing goes wrong. ”
"Okay." Jusis was a little confused, but what Heliga had decided to do was not wrong, and Jusis was convinced of it, so he agreed.
"So, it happened to follow the hand handed over by the people on the board of directors of the bank, and their lifeline was broken." Heliga laughed, "I'm counting on your help during this time." The results of the previous data analysis should also be out, right? ”
"Hmm...... Tomorrow, you can come to me again. Let's talk about it. Jusis nodded, "That's all for today's business, let's go." ”
"Why, you're in such a hurry to see Miriam?" Helriga teased.
"Don't talk nonsense. Who ...... to that kind of child," Jusis blushed and exasperated.
