"What? In any country bordering the Sunset Plains of Atlantis, have cities been hit by earthquakes? ”
Chu Nan looked at Afron in surprise, he had just returned to the Aegis to listen to everyone's reports, and it was amazing one after another.
The countries that came into contact with the Atlantis Sunset Plains have been delayed for a while because they are busy with disaster relief, and the occupation policy that has been advanced little by little in the past has also slowed down a lot.
The demons are engaged in an earthquake at the same time, delaying the advance of all countries into the Atlantis Plain, what are they thinking? Could it be that there is some great secret in the Sunset Plains of Atlantis?
But...... Chu Nan frowned slightly, does the demon clan really have such great ability? Earthquake disaster in multiple countries at the same time? If they have such great strength, do they need to be so sneaky?
Unable to figure out the demon clan's approach for a while, Chu Nan habitually chose not to pursue the things that he couldn't figure out, and it was more important to solve his own affairs first
"How are mobile phones selling?"
"It's already starting to be sold to neighboring countries." Afron picked up the thick ledger that had been prepared a long time ago: "The comparison mentality between the nobles of various countries is even more serious, and we have made a small profit from this. Those large and medium-sized merchant groups also came to place orders, not to mention, the armies of several neighboring countries also submitted the documents for the order, but they ......"
Afron scratched his head, a little helpless: "Master Ou Yezi and his disciples are trying their best to help catch up with the work, but the supply is still not enough. Master Nobel is rushing here with his disciples. It should be reachable in a few days. ”
"Alas!" Chu Nan sighed and shook his head, fortunately he met Ou Yezi, this master is very interested in the magic props of mobile phones, otherwise he might have been completely out of stock.
"I'll prepare a warehouse for me, and I'll make a batch." Chu Nan let out a long sigh. Reaching out and touching Sophia's head in his arms: "How is the school?" ”
"The first school is almost ready. Fasa, who was in charge of building the school, said: "Because of the low threshold for schooling, very few nobles came to sign up for school, and most of them were commoners. ”
"It's the civilians who want it." Chu Nan smiled softly, wanting to make those nobles who were not lacking in material life have faith. It's so hard! It is better to go the civilian route, this base is larger, and it is easier.
"That's already enough people to sign up." Fasa said again: "Just waiting for you, as the headmaster, to preside over the opening of the first school." ”
"Good! It's up to you. Chu Nan thought about it for a while and added again: "By the way, all those kinds of inter-school exchange competitions, conferences and other things will be registered to participate." Let them know that they are qualified to stand in the same arena as the nobles, and then find a way to improve their grades. {79 Literature Reading Network}"
Fasa nodded and made a note, and Chu Nan looked around the crowd in the hall again. Asked the question that had been curious since entering the room: "Where did Sephiroth go?" Why didn't I see him? ”
All the people in the hall, look at me, I look at you. They all shrugged their shoulders and shook their heads, and Afron pouted and said, "No one knows what he's doing, I just know that he will come and ask me for a gold coin every once in a while." Messages received from other channels. Sephiroth has ordered a large number of high-quality equipment from the top weapons dealers, and the worst quality equipment is estimated to be a little worse than the equipment of His Majesty's Praetorian Guard in Avrey. ”
Chu Nan's eyes lit up, Afrey's Praetorian Guards had also seen a few, the equipment he was wearing, where was the equipment! It's all made of gold coins!
Chu Nan had also seen many private armies of the nobles who were very well-equipped, but those private armies stood beside Afrey's Praetorian Guards, and they could not be much better than beggars
Chu Nan asked again with some concern: "How many sets did he order?" ”
"I heard a few days ago that there are 10,000 sets, and now it is estimated that there are 20,000 sets, right?" Afrey shook his head helplessly: "Although we all suspect that he wants to build an army, we have never seen him recruit a single soldier. ”
"Yes." Chu Nan waved his hand: "Forget it!" Whatever he wants. A person who doesn't talk all day, if he doesn't get busy with something. I guess the personality will be more eccentric, right? ”
"Chu Nan." Sephiroth appeared at the door of the hall at some point: "Follow me." ”
Chu Nan got up helplessly, he hadn't seen him for more than thirty days, this man's personality had not changed at all, and he still liked to speak in an almost commanding tone.
After running all the way, Chu Nan followed Sephiroth from the city to the outside of the city again.
Open plains. The merchant of Shengyuan Da 6. Or large teams of mercenaries, almost all of whom are accustomed to using this kind of tent. It's just that no matter how big the team is, they can't use so many tents.
"Assemble!"
Sephiroth stood outside the tent group and gave an order, Chu Nan suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a group of people rushed out of the tent group!
There are many people but not chaos, the neat order seems to have been trained for I don't know how many years, and the silent crowd exudes an oppressive spirit.
These people are divided into three teams, each wearing their own unique gear!
"This is where the gold goes."
As soon as Saphiroth's words came out, Chu Nan was taken aback, this killing king who never explained to others in doing things, what happened today? Would it explain the flow of gold coins?
"I'll take them to dominate the barbarian continent." Sephiroth said at length for the first time: "There are still some people who have not arrived, let Afron prepare the next batch of gold coins."
Chu Nan had a drop of cold sweat on his head, asking for gold coins! That's what Sephiroth really aims, right?
"Are these people your former subordinates?"
Chu Nan has traveled more places, and the market he has seen is naturally wider, and the faint fierceness of these people is definitely not the kind of momentum that newly recruited soldiers can have.
I didn't participate in the battle of the Grand Legion, I didn't really hear the sound of knives slicing into the bones. Having heard the wail of life and death, it is absolutely impossible to have such a fierce momentum.
Of course, the kind of mercenaries who are often entered into the battlefield by the state, although they can have a compelling momentum, will never have the smell of iron and blood in these people! Especially that kind of calm! Not as powerful as Sephiroth, though. But I can feel that there is still a lot of similarity with Sephiroth himself. 79 Reading.com
Sephiroth's rare snack was shocked: "Old subordinate." ”
I said that Chu Nan was very proud: "I heard people say in the past that the first commander of an army is often the soul of the army. Now it seems that it is true. ”
There was a brief silence. Chu Nanxian was really not suitable for staying with someone like Saphiroth who didn't like to talk, he spread his wings of light and flew high into the air, and said, "Then, I won't bother you." Keep busy. ”
This time it was the turn of the entire army to look at them in surprise, as veterans, they had also seen many commanders, but they had never seen a situation like Chu Nan, and they didn't ask the details of how the gold coins were consumed, nor how many people there were in the army, let alone the salary. The person who didn't even say a word, just glanced at it and flew away. Is this the highest level of trust? Or has this not been thought about at all? Saphiros is now, and he can't fully guess Chu Nan's thoughts. {79 Reading Network+.}
"Then the army is less than 20,000 people, right?" Chu Nan touched his chin in the air: "In this way, it is estimated that it is no problem to defend a city in the Barbarian Continent, right?" ”
The country of Dumez sent 200,000 troops, but none of them leveled the barbarian continent. Chu Nan didn't think that the army of less than 20,000 people in Saphiroth's hands could take care of the powerful barbarian continent.
It's not bad to get a city and be a lord! Chu Nanchang let out a sigh, he was originally worried about the troops defending the city in the future, but today Saphiroth solved it! Of course...... The cost of this garrison is more than a little .......
Back at the residence again, Afron and the others had already left, and as the presiding officer of specific matters, they were not as leisurely as Chu Nan.
"Child of Light." Lin Nianbing, who didn't leave, stepped forward and said, "When you left last time, the things you arranged for me were almost ready. ”
"Really? All right! Find a time to challenge Safi Saffe's little Saffon." Chu Nan took the tea to quench his thirst and said, "It's time to settle the matter between their father and son for Saphiros a little." That's right! Challenge books, you don't have to send them yourself. I'm afraid he'll kill you with a knife. ”
"Oh......" Lin Nianbing nodded, looking at Chu Nan with a look of wanting to say something: "Son of Light...... This ......"
"What's wrong? What to say directly! You may call me the Child of Light, but we should still be friends at heart. ”
Hearing Chu Nan say this, Lin Nianbing hurriedly nodded and replied, "The Pope is in retreat. ”
Retreat? Chu Nan's eyelids jumped suddenly, this is really not good news! The Temple of Light has never been a place where the Pope alone has the final say! There was also a group of elders who had a bad temper with him.
"I've heard everything about you and the Presbyterian Church...... Lin Nianbing whispered, "The archbishop knows my relationship with you." So let me reveal it to you. In fact. The biggest reason why the Presbyterian Council can still be as powerful as it is in the face of Zhang Guangming, a powerful Pope, is because the Pope often comes into retreat. ”
"Frequent retreats?" Chu Nan was taken aback by these words. How could the Pope of Light, who was such a large organization leader of the Temple of Light, be able to retreat so often? Isn't this a clear indication that the power in your hands will be handed over to other forces?
"Yes." Lin Nianbing nodded: "The archbishop said that whenever the Pope is in retreat, the people of the Presbyterian Church will become more imposing. Previously, the Presbyterians would focus their attention on the archbishop of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now...... I'm afraid they will shift their goals. After all, the Children of Light, who possessed the real power of the Temple of Light, were the real headaches for the Elders. The archbishop also said that before the retreat, the Pope had intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to train you to be the heir of the Pope...... "poof......
Chu Nan squirted out all the water that had just been drunk into his throat, can he say this casually? The Child of Light is one of the most important aspects of the Temple, and if the rights of the Child of Light and the Pope are combined, then the power is not to scare people to death? Is that the Presbyterian still a fart?
Those old Presbyterian things aren't stupid! In the contest in the Holy City, the feud between the two sides was even deeper, and when you hear this kind of thing, you will definitely ......
Chu Nan began to wonder if the people who joined forces with the Phoenix Girl that day would have a share of the Temple of Light.
"Unlucky!" Chu Nan rubbed his temples with a headache, since he became the so-called child of light, he has indeed made a lot of money, but as a genuine son of light, he has not really exercised the right of a child of light! As soon as the Pope is in retreat, the genuine son of light who has no foundation fights with the elders who have a strong foundation, and he suffers congenitally!
"Anyway, Child of Light, you better be careful." Lin Nianbing said again: "I heard that the elders of the Temple of Light will give an order to ask the Holy Maiden to move towards Aegis City. ”
After explaining everything, Lin Nianbing left the room quickly.
In the hall, all of a sudden, only Zhaojun and Chu Nan were left.
"Bring it." Zhaojun came to Chu Nan and stretched out his white jade hand.
Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, looked up at the stunning Zhaojun, and asked with some confusion, "What to take?" ”
"Gifts." Zhaojun's words were very simple: "If you go out for many days, shouldn't you bring a gift when you come back?" ”
Chu Nan was dumbfounded, these days he was busy with disaster relief, pretending to be a prime man and really robbing the nobles, and he really killed the matter of bringing gifts when he went out! Issue! Zhaojun, who claims to have almost lost all his memories, why hasn't he forgotten the gift?
"What? Don't have a gift? Zhaojun's face turned cloudy.
It is conceivable that if you nod your head and admit that you forgot to bring a gift, Zhaojun's face will not only turn cloudy, but I am afraid it will be cloudy and rainy, right?
"Haha...... Gift! How could I have forgotten to bring a gift? Chu Nan smiled a little unconfidently, as a man on a business trip, he forgot to bring a gift to his woman, this is a heinous thing! How many pairs of infatuated men and women on the earth, just because the man did not bring a gift, made the woman misunderstand that she had no status in her mind, and finally led to a breakup!
