Chapter 476: The Future Direction of Atlanta City
Sophia didn't talk about things in detail, and many of them were vague, but Ari and Algert still gained a lot after listening to them.
Archbishop Maximus's father turned out to be the Pope of the Temple more than twenty years ago, as rumored!
At that time, an incident happened in the temple, the temple pope was forced to abdicate, Maximus left the kingdom of Barak, and even the holy woman was replaced in silence.
Sophia was also promoted to the Holy Maiden after Hiluffi left the temple, and even strictly speaking, Sophia is not called Sophia, Maria is her real name!
And Sophia could even be the name of Yelena's mother!
Twenty-five years ago, Sophia was the real saint, but she was involved in the secrets of the temple and escaped from the temple with the help of the Pope and cronies at the time.
There was a fierce struggle within the temple as a result.
Afterwards, for the sake of the temple's honor, Mary pretended to be Sophia a saint for five years, and then quietly retired, hiding everything in history.
Maria refused to say what the secret was, but she was very emotional about Elena becoming a saint, saying that what happened twenty-five years ago was officially because of Hiluffy, and if she was not stopped, what happened twenty-five years ago would definitely happen again, and that Yelena herself would be in danger.
As for what the secret was, Ari asked several times, but Maria didn't mean to answer, and Ari and Algert had to give up, because the fear in Maria's eyes was very real, and it was probably a secret that couldn't be told even by death.
When leaving the Holt village, Ari took Maria with him for the purpose of healing, and the matter of Yelena was already known to Maria, and it is not unlikely that Maria would leak her secrets before Algert recognized her godmother.
Maria had no opinion on Eri's arrangement, and even actively cooperated to appease the villagers, the only request was that they return to the Star Luo Empire as soon as possible, and let Elena give up competing for the Holy Maiden.
Ari and his party are very dazzling in the city, in order not to attract attention, Algert broke up with Ari directly outside the city, and under the protection of a team of agents from the Supervision Department, Maria was transferred to Atlanta City, which was their territory.
Ari returned to the city alone, Joffrey and the others were not at the residence, and Palacio could not come because of something, but asked Burris and Monique to take Joffrey and the others to visit the imperial capital.
The first is to appreciate different customs, and the other is to seek advice.
The North District of the Imperial Capital of the Phantom Cloud Empire was modeled after Atlanta City, and Joffrey and the others were in Atlanta City, which was also a proper executive, and sometimes just one sentence could save them a lot of detours.
What's more, Palacio will soon become the governor of the province of Ole, whether it can develop well, the relationship with Atlanta City is very important, and now that there is such an opportunity to pull in the relationship, they will naturally not let it go.
Everyone was out playing, and Ari was idle. Simply went into a meditative state.
In the evening, Joffrey and the others came back in a noisy manner, and everyone was followed by a waiter, who was full of money.
Joffrey walked into the hall, motioned for the waiter to put his things in his room, and lay down on the couch, and couldn't help but sigh, "Palacio is a good boy, I really didn't mistake him." ”
Ferris glanced at him with disdain and said, "Isn't it just free of charge, as for this, you can't buy what you want in Atlanta City." ”
"Can this be the same?" Joffrey glanced at him and said, "Why don't you see your chamber of commerce for free." ”
"Didn't I give you a free one?" Ferris was angry when he heard him say this: "Who keeps taking free opportunities to get goods from my trading house, and in less than ten days, my warehouse is about to be emptied!"
Joffrey said confidently: "Didn't I lack money during that time, and asked you for a little sponsorship and you didn't give it." ”
"Is that a little sponsorship?" Ferris laughed angrily: "Prince Jin is too scared by you to come to Atlanta City, and you really don't know how much money you took from me." ”
"Look at your stingy look. Joffrey snorted and turned to walk upstairs, but it looked like he had fled from nowhere.
Ari was also a little curious when he heard the movement upstairs, he didn't have time to care about Joffrey during his return, the things in Atlanta City were enough for him to see, except for knowing that Fei Fei Comptoir was doing well, he didn't know what the others had done.
However, it can make Ferris feel painful, and it seems that Joffrey's hand is really not small, and I don't know what the results are.
Thinking of this, Ari called Ferris directly.
Although Ferris has always complained that Joffrey spends too much money, the financial support given to Joffrey has never been stopped, otherwise with Ferris's family business genes, it is not so easy for Joffrey to make money.
"Ari, you're looking for me. Ferris asked with a smile as he walked into the study on the second floor.
"Well, I'd like to ask you something about Joffrey. Ari mixed Ferris a twenty percent cocktail, brought it to him, and said directly.
"What's wrong with Joffrey?" Ferris asked suspiciously, then picked up the cocktail on the table, smelled it, his face changed instantly, and said with a bitter face: "This concentration is too high, I can't bear it." ”
Ari glanced at his body and said, "Joffrey and they are eighty percent old, and you have to practice this body, and I can't bear twenty years of wine, so I don't have to worry about taking you across the continent." ”
Ferris said confidently: "I am a magician, a third-level fire magician, in addition to our Atlanta City, there are a few others who can become a third-level fire magician at my age!"
"Before leaving, if you don't have the physique of a third-level samurai, stay in Atlanta City, just as we need someone to guard the house. ”
"Don't, you're all gone, why do you leave me alone. Ferris immediately wailed, but seeing Eri's indifferent appearance, he immediately knew that Eri was determined, and immediately gave up struggling: "Can't I drink?"
After saying that, he grabbed the cocktail on the table and drank it all in one gulp as if he were drinking poison.
The medicinal power in Bloody Mary has long been studied for the help of body cultivation, and if people know that Ferris dislikes it so much, I'm afraid that even the idea of buying murder will come out.
After Ferris drank it in one gulp, his face instantly turned red, his forehead was even more bruised, and his body trembled violently like a swing, as if he was suffering from severe pain.
Of course, it is very painful indeed.
With Ferris's current physique, it is definitely not a pleasure to be subjected to such a violent impact at once, and he now feels like an ordinary person, drinking a bottle of vodka in one gulp, even more uncomfortable than that, and the whole person is as if he is being burned by fire.
"Hold your breath, dissolve it with your magic power, absorb the power of the medicine!" said Ari, exclaiming, even using mental shock.
Ferris was shocked, then immediately reacted, endured severe pain, and began to use the magic in his body to dissolve the power of the medicine according to Eri's request.
Ari shook his head, after using magic power, some of this power will be transformed into magic power, although for magicians, it is not bad, but the strengthening of physical fitness will be reduced.
Eri's request for Ferris is not just to be a magician, with Ferris's talent, at most he can barely become a fourth-level magician, and the rest is impossible, so the strengthening of his physique is more important, at least there must be a certain degree of flexibility, so that he can protect himself in case of danger.
After all, it is definitely not an easy thing to cross the continent, and the Storm Canyon will not be passed through casually, otherwise it will not become the death place of the continent and the nightmare in the hearts of all navigators.
It wasn't long before Ferris fully digested the impact of the bloody Henry, but there was a hint of shame on his face.
What a shame!
When everyone could withstand 80 percent of the potion, he couldn't even 20 percent.
Seeing this, Ari comforted, "Don't mind, your time is all over business. ”
"Joffrey, they don't have all their minds on cultivation. "It's hard for Ferris to accept that reason.
Ai Rui thought for a moment and said, "They have been cultivating for a longer time. ”
Ferris shook his head: "My cultivation time is not short. ”
Ari spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want me to say." ”
Ferris sighed: "Maybe it's really my talent that is too ordinary......"
"No, you're lazy. Ari glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Don't think that you can use talent as an excuse, your talent is far from reaching the ceiling, before you set off, you will stay in the Odin Continent without reaching the third-level warrior." ”
Ferris saw that Ari had seen through his thoughts so quickly, and immediately gave up struggling, and asked, "Back to Joffrey, what do you want to ask, about his puppy love with Catherine......?
"Go, go, go. Ari said with a dark face: "Who asked you this, I asked you what Joffrey has spent so much money on all these years." ”
"You ask this. Ferris suddenly realized: "You can ask me about this, other people really don't know as much as me, even Lilia doesn't know much about it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Then you let me take a look at it, where to start. Ferris thought for a while and said, "You know about his cooperation with Prince Jin. ”
"I've heard a little. ”
"For the past five years, I've been in the smuggling business, selling Atlanta City to the Five Empires privately, and Joffrey is doing business in the Chaman Empire. He told me that he was making a platform, but I think he seems to be doing everything, and in the past five years, he has been throwing money into it every year, spending an average of more than a million gold coins per month......"
"Spend more than a million gold coins a month?" "Ari was a little surprised, the speed of burning money was indeed a bit amazing, and it was estimated that ordinary people would not be able to spend so much money on him.
Ari thought for a moment and asked, "What platform did he make, tell me more carefully." ”
"He said that it is a service platform, as big as the prison fishing, asset transfer, as small as sending letters across the city, delivering meals to the door, as long as it is a service industry, his platform is almost all doing, and he also got a research room, recruited a lot of magicians, where he studied magic computers, it is said that he is making a management system, and what is there to pay online or something, I don't understand this thing too much, he said I don't need to figure it out, just scatter coins, who do you say this looks down on......"
When Ferris finished speaking, Ari's heart suddenly had some score, and it seemed that Joffrey had really not been idle all these years.
Ari patted Ferris on the shoulder: "Okay, you can help me call Joffrey over, I'll ask him directly, these things are too advanced, you'll understand in a few years." ”
When Ferris heard this, he was immediately unconvinced: "Why can Joffrey figure it out, I can't figure it out, I'm the founder of Fei Fei Firm......"
"It's easy for you to figure it out, Joffrey should have a notebook of mine, you have to go back to him and look at it, it's okay if you don't understand it......"
"I don't dare to say anything about cultivation, in business matters, I haven't served anyone except you. Ferris snorted, walked out of the room, and went to find Joffrey.
After a while, Joffrey walked into the room, saw the empty glass on the table, sniffed it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Boss, you are eccentric, Joffrey has the wine you made with your own hands, and I don't have it." ”
"You just drink Bloody Henry, what else do you want. "Among so many people, except for Eudora, Joffrey has the best physical fitness, talent, I really don't say anything.
"The boss personally blended it, even if it is only one percent, it is the top wine in the mainland. Joffrey grinned and patted his ass.
Ari scolded with a smile: "Less hippie smiley, tell me how far the layout of the Chaman Empire has been." ”
Before he left, he wrote down the future development direction of Atlanta City in a notebook and left it in the study of the Duke's Palace, but there was only a direction, not specific steps, and Atlanta City had no technological breakthroughs in the past five years, but it had gone further on the original basis, so he didn't know where Joffrey was going now.
"Ferris should have said something, I'll pick some important ones. Joffrey thought for a moment and said: "The Chaman Empire was divided into four regions by me, and I built a storage center in each area, and each city of the Chaman Empire and the Phantom Cloud Empire has my office point, and there are more office points in important cities, and in terms of manpower, it basically covers all urban areas. ”
"In terms of technology accumulation, online payment has been made, but the security test has not passed, the Internet is not difficult, but there are too few terminals, if it is only for internal use, there is no problem, but if you want to get an online mall, the magic computer needs to be popularized, but I finished reading the content of the notebook you left, boss, I found that the magic computer is the most important development direction of Atlanta City in the future, so the popularization of things, I can't make up my mind......"
