Chapter 253. Charles in shock

The architecture of Cape Town really brought the three of them a shock from their hearts. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even walked forward with Green, and the neatly arranged town militia on both sides like a person made them breathe a little faster.

What a rigorous training it was to have such an almost uniform movement, and even if they were dressed in ordinary clothes and without the slightest armor as protection, but with such a neat marching procession, and the muskets that resisted the shoulders without the slightest mess, it had been shown that they were equivalent to the foundation of elite infantry.

Charles and Strong were both nobles who had been trained and trained as knights, and of course understood that on the frontal battlefield, the so-called personal skills were always the last and least practical things.

On the battlefield where people crowd people, people and people, people resist people, a uniform queue is the most important factor to win a war, especially all the infantry, all of them are like a person fighting stabs, assaults, and advances, even if there are many enemies, no matter how ferocious, the skills of individual fighting are superb, and they cannot resist hundreds of people, and thousands of people are as powerful as one person!

"It's... This Mr. Levi really gave us a big surprise. ”

Strong's voice was also solemn, he followed behind Charles slightly, his eyes swept over the neatly arranged buildings on both sides, which were built in a style different from the North Roaring Sea style, and the town militia guarding on both sides, and couldn't help but speak slowly: "But I'm wondering, who is this Mr. Levi?" ”

What appears in front of me now is a small businessman who has no background, no support from any forces, and no background, not even a real small businessman, but a civilian with a fishing boat.

How incredible is that?

Who would have imagined that this guy who had nothing at all, and had been the lowest, worst, and even inferior to ordinary wealthy civilians in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the past two years, now has a lord who can resist the governor of Grey Mist City, firmly rooted on the East Coast, and now has become the strongest force on the East Coast?

"I don't know."

Charles's voice also sounded, and his face swept over the surrounding buildings with an unhappy face, and finally followed Green's lead, and his eyes also looked at the most central position of the road ahead, the three-story high, marble Sheriff's Mansion.

It is a beautiful building, in the Spanish Empire, it is also the official residence of the consuls of a region, responsible for the local government affairs of the Spanish Empire, and also represents the authority and strength of the Spanish Empire in the local area, so the consuls of the past generations will not hesitate to build their official residences into luxurious and graceful.

Even in Grey Mist City, there are very few buildings that can be compared to this kind of building, and even in Charles's mind, he doesn't want to admit that there are no buildings in Grey Mist City that can be compared.

Gorgeous buildings, powerful armies, unique firearms, all this seems to be shrouded in fog.

Charles walked slowly forward and followed Green down the marble staircase, and the servants in front of him, who looked and moved gracefully, also greeted him, and gently opened the door for the three of them to enter.

"This is where Lord Levi is in power, and it's the center of Cape Town."

Green walked in front, as if he was introducing, and at the same time, the smile on his face was a little thicker, and he gestured to the servant waiting next to him: "Bring us three gentlemen a drink, tell our chef, and ask for something delicious." ”

The servant nodded respectfully, and then quietly retreated, at this time Green led the three of them to continue walking in the mansion, although they were introducing, but they did not stay in a single place for too long, they had a special conference room, not far in front, at least in this sheriff's mansion, it is not a place where anyone can walk around at will.

"Is this an oil painting?"

But not far from the conference room, Charles's footsteps were slightly certain, turning his head to look at the decorations hanging on the wall next to him, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he could tell that the painting was a wilderness scene, but he couldn't help but ask: "I remember that in the prosperous South Roaring Sea, there were painters who could make all kinds of beautiful oil paintings for the nobles. ”

As the real commander of the Senge Chamber of Commerce, Charles has also been to the South Trummaging Sea with the ship, which is more prosperous than the current North Trumming Sea, and has also seen similar oil paintings, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes and ask: "Mr. Levi has a connection with the South Trumchi Sea?" ”

"I don't know, it's just a gift from Lord Levi, something to be taken for granted."

But Green smiled without leaving a trace, looking at the oil painting, of course, he understood that in the Spanish Empire, only those famous painters could hang their works on the wall, which also reflected the exquisite and beautiful style of painting.

However, smiling softly, Green still opened his mouth to explain: "We don't know what the South Roaring Sea is like, but according to my speculation, even if the painters of the South Roaring Sea are in front of this picture, it is estimated that they must use the best attitude to observe, this belongs to the artist, and it is those painters who can understand the painting skills." ”

"I have a few similar paintings in my home, but of course I'm not a painter and I don't understand them."

Strong also looked at the oil painting behind him, swept Green's slightly smiling face, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "But I also know that this kind of similar oil painting is also very valuable in the South Trumming Sea." ”

The luxury goods in the aristocratic circle are generally nothing more than a few, even if they add handicrafts, there are only statues and paintings, and similar to this kind of oil paintings, as long as it is a high-end aristocratic home, there are also a few pieces, especially as a chamber of commerce that conducts ocean trade like the Senge Chamber of Commerce, and has a lot of similar luxury oil paintings.

Therefore, their ability to appreciate oil paintings is undoubtedly much beyond ordinary people, but now they look at the oil paintings hanging on the wall, and they have already sighed in their hearts about the painter's ability and master-level painters.

"A little trick, I still have a lot of them."

While they were still looking at the painting, Levi's voice appeared around the corner, and he looked at Charles and Strong, as well as Glynton, who was following behind, with a smile on his face: "I don't hesitate to treat my friends." ”

"Lord Levi."

Green also walked over slightly, and the faces of the three of them with their backs to Charles also regained their composure, and just nodded: "This is the messenger from Gray Mist City, Mr. Charles, Mr. Strong, and Mr. Greenton, they are all here." ”

With Green's words, Charles and Strong also turned around, and there was no superfluous expression on their faces, just nodded flatly, as if they saw familiar friends, and there was no excessive respect and flattery, they were originally an aristocratic class, even if the two sides were at war, they would still maintain their demeanor.

But Charles still understood the strength of the two sides now, took a step forward, put one hand on his chest to express his respect, and said: "The messenger of the governor of Gray Mist City, the baron Charles of the Senge family. ”

"Messenger of the Governor of Grey Mist, Baron Strong sent by the City Hall." Strong also stepped forward, also with one hand on his chest, as Charles did, and bent slightly in respect.

At the same time, Greenton behind him also hurriedly bent over, but he didn't say anything, he was just following to lead the way, or as a kind of communication lubricant for the mission.

The real negotiations, or the ones who can really make decisions, are Charles and Strong, and Greenton is just a small accountant at the Senge Chamber of Commerce, and the real role may also be to take note of the negotiation and say something light-hearted to ease the situation when both sides are awkward.

"They're all friends, aren't they?"

With a smile on his face, Li Wei waved his hand at them, and directly opened the door of the conference room, saying, "Don't be so polite, I know your intentions very well." After a pause, he also shook his head and said, "It's not so formal, sometimes we talk casually, and the effect is much better than real negotiation." ”

"Of course." Charles nodded, glanced at Strong next to him, and stepped inside.

Now it is Levi who has the upper hand who has won this war, and they are only the vanquished, representing the side that has been beaten, and they themselves are not optimistic about this negotiation at all.

But when these two people looked at each other, they had already noticed the flashing gaze in each other's eyes, and they already knew each other in their hearts, although they represented the governor of Gray Mist City, but once the negotiation was completed, they would each represent the forces behind them in the next negotiation, and this kind of negotiation was more like some kind of contract.

"Please come in."

Green also smiled slightly, nodded at Greenton, who was still a little overwhelmed, and made a gesture of please. After all three of them walked in, they also gestured to the guards outside the door, and all stood next to the wall, waiting quietly.

Looking at these town militias that had been prepared, Green's heart was already a lot more relaxed. The so-called negotiations are just a cover, both sides have understood the meaning of the other, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the defeated accepts the demands of the victor, even in this world, it is no longer normal.
