"Katya, how much did we earn?"

"Haha, I thought you could resist asking," Katya's eyes sparkled, "Congratulations! Excluding the repayment of the 1 million loan from Lighthouse Bank, you have made a net profit of more than 5 million gold coins in this turmoil! ”

Roland whistled and laughed exaggeratedly, "Thank you, my lord, Sindra!" Today is my lucky day! ”

"But today is also the most unfortunate day of many people's lives," Katya smiled with a sneer, "overnight, the speculators of Baigull Harbor and the entire Bend League were bankrupt, and there were not a few desperate suicides who could not bear the blow, and just half an hour ago, I witnessed a well-known investment broker in the city leap from the rooftop of a building and ended his life, and I was told that he had brought it upon himself."

Roland didn't know what to say, and he couldn't be silent, so he turned to Antron and Orome and said, "I've worked hard for you these days, I'll send you a big red envelope later, take two days off, and go back and have a good rest." ”

"Miss Katya has already sent us a bonus on your behalf, 20,000 gold coins per person!" Ou Luomei was excited, with bonuses and commissions, she had earned 30,000 gold coins in just three days, and she had become a little rich woman, not to mention how happy.

"Mr. Roland, I'm not tired, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Graduated from Antron Business School, he is still the most suitable prophetic mage for a career in the financial industry, but he has little desire to spend money and enjoys the process of making money or pursuing success. He was sure that Roland was destined to become a great person, and he would feel a sense of accomplishment if he could help Roland do something, even if it was just a few trivial things.

Roland patted the young mage on the shoulder and encouraged him warmly: "Those who don't know how to rest don't know how to work, and when the war is over, we still have something to do, so don't be tired when the time comes." ”

Antron scratched his head embarrassedly, "I understand, let's go back and rest." ”

Orome took his hand and excitedly planned the trip: "Accompany me to buy new clothes first, and then let's go back to school......"

"I can understand that I made money to buy new clothes, why are you going back to school so late?"

"I'll just take a walk and go back to the dormitory to visit my old classmates...... Just come with me, don't ask so much! ”

Roland watched the young boy and girl go away holding hands, his mood changed inexplicably, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

With a fragrant breeze wafting beside him, Katya took his arm around him and asked eagerly, "Do you want to arrange a dance party to celebrate in the evening?" ”

"Now? I didn't prepare anything, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"You don't have to worry about these things, I'll handle it, and you're satisfied!"

Roland patted her hands, "There's no need for a dance party or anything, I'll invite you to dinner alone another day, you need to rest now, otherwise it won't look good to appear in public with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow." ”

Katya squinted at him, "So you have a date tonight?" ”

Roland laughed, "Look at you, how smart! ”

"Don't go around in circles with me, where do you want to be merry and happy?" Katya's hands were crossed on her hips and her face was angry, like an amphora filled with aged vinegar.

"Actually, Lyuba is also back, and I will take the same airship with me, so I will go to Geert Palace to pick her up, and we will have dinner together." Roland confessed honestly.

Katya slumped her shoulders in frustration, "Since the other party is the eldest lady, what else can I say?" She was discouraged by her overly strong competitors, and she couldn't even get up her spirits to be jealous.

Roland patted his forehead: "I almost forgot, I have a small gift for you." As he spoke, he pulled out a small, beautifully packaged box from the storage bag and handed it to her.

Katya opened it curiously, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise the moment she saw the Upanishads.

"It's ......"

"The Mystery Stone, the loot obtained from the killing of Maximian, a martial art that suits you perfectly." Roland explains the origin of the "trick attack".

Katya couldn't put it down while holding the Upanishads, both happy and a little entangled, "You said that I kept this Upanishads as a souvenir, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Roland was angry and funny, picked up the Upanishads stone and pressed it on her forehead, "I'm not dead yet, you don't need to take a stone to remember me!" ”

Katya obediently absorbed the Upanishads, took him by the hand, boarded the carriage, and went to the Geert Palace together. When I arrived, the parliament had just ended, and the result was not to be expected.

Lyubov announced the good news of repelling the pirate fleet at the League Parliament, and for the sake of secrecy, she did not reveal that Maximian had been ambushed, and directly proposed to recruit warships and armed merchant ships from various states to form a joint fleet to pursue the pirates and blockade the island of the trolls, in order to complete the battle and completely eradicate this cancer.

Representatives of the city-states had recently learned of the victory of the White Gull Harbor fleet, but they still had doubts about forming a combined fleet. The first is worried about whether the follow-up battle will be frustrated, after all, there is still Kraken, a legendary banshee on the Giant Demon Island, who has brought psychological shadows to the North Bay states for generations, and secondly, they are worried that the Yangbo family will take this opportunity to expand the military and centralize power, and step by step deprive the rights and interests belonging to the ruling families of the states.

It is not without city-states that support Lyubov, such as Sir Lavrov in Silversail, but the opposition has always been louder, and both sides know this, so the proposal to form a combined fleet has been discussed several times before and has not been resolved.

Tonight Lyubov seems determined to come to a conclusion and proposes to vote on the fate of the bill.

None of the MPs, including Sir Lavrov of Silversail, thought it was a wise choice, but Madam Speaker insisted on voting, so vote, and it would be the same as before.

However, the result of this vote was very unexpected, and the representatives of the three city-states of Cold Spring, Tana, and Rowa, who had been resolutely opposed to the formation of the combined fleet, all voted in favor, so that the proposal was finally approved by eight votes in favor.

The participants were puzzled by the sudden change of position of the three city-states, and left the meeting room to discuss in private.

Roland couldn't help but sneer secretly when he heard a few words when he passed them, and the representatives of the three city-states of Cold Spring, Tana, and Roy certainly did not dare to oppose Lyubov's proposal, otherwise the scandal of collusion with pirates would be exposed, and they would not be able to eat and walk around.

Roland knew very well that the formation of the combined fleet of the Bend Alliance was only a pretense, and with this title, Lyubov had the right to bypass the lords of the states and directly mobilize the military forces of the states, and once the states lost their military power, they also lost the foundation of independent government.

Roland never looked beyond the war between Harbor and the Isle of the Monsters, and his aim was to use this war against piracy to push Lyubov to overhaul the current system of the Bend League, gradually transforming from a loose confederation to a more organized and centralized federal government.

So far, he has largely achieved his goal: Lyubov Yampo has mastered the economic and military lifeblood of the Bend League, and she can add a crown to herself whenever she wishes.
