"Tell me your good news first, shall we?" Hedram looked at Xu Mo and the others and said.

At this time, Xu Mo and the others had already returned to the Vestelos, but Xu Mo did not disband the small team, but after issuing a ban order, he brought them all into the captain's room of Hedram, and now in the captain's room except for Xu Mo and others, there are only Hedram and Gerhardt.

"The good news is that we have the blueprints for the ship's construction, and the Earl of Essex will no longer hold us accountable for attacking him, and he will help us conceal the loss of the ship's construction drawings and cover up the 'accidental deaths' of two English musketeers and the Queen's maid." Although it was good news, the faces of the entire action group were still bitter.

"And what about the bad news?" Hearing this veritable good news, Hedram and Gerhardt's faces did not show any joy, and these two men understood that any gain came at a price.

The good news brought by Xu Mo can be said to be too good, not only did it achieve the purpose of the operation, but there was actually an English earl to help them hide the truth. In other words, the price they have to pay should be huge, and it is definitely not enough to sacrifice a Kaye to be satisfied.

"The bad news is that we need to help the Earl of Essex get rid of someone!" Xu Mo said with a wry smile.

"That's it?" Hedram and Gerhardt glanced at each other, and both saw a surprise in each other's eyes, for them, as long as it was something that could be solved by the battle, it was basically not a ** annoyance.

However, seeing that the current SA captain on the Vistelos was still looking depressed, Hedram thought of a possibility, and his face changed drastically: "He won't ask us to kill Queen Elizabeth I!" ”

"It's not a queen, if it's a queen, it's easy to do. You can find some people to pretend to be fanatical Catholics to assassinate the queen, fill in a few lives, and even if they fail, they will give the count an explanation. He made us attack one of his formidable opponents! Xu Mo sighed, "This person is also an English knight, very young, called James Clifford!" ”

"Jamez Clifford?" Hedram and Gelhardt change color at the same time.

"It's the lion of the North Sea!" Hedram smiled bitterly, "That's really bad news!" ”

"The Earl of Essex is the commander of the Army. Clifford is a naval admiral, how could they get into a feud? That earl won't deliberately find a problem and trick us into sending us to death! Gerhardt said with a frown.

"The Earl of Essex has explained this to me. Clifford and the Earl, one in the navy and the other in the army, differed in political opinions, but of course this was not the main reason. When Xu Mo said this, a sly smile appeared on his face that could not be concealed.

"The most crucial reason is that Clifford has become the earl's rival without him even noticing! In the last two years, Clifford led his privateer fleet in a series of naval battles with Spain, with brilliant results. At the same time, it also attracted the attention of Queen Elizabeth.

Clifford was of noble birth, he was tall and handsome, and he had a very outstanding personal temperament and charisma. The Queen has praised him in public more than once, and has become a rising star in the English Navy. If it weren't for Clifford's long time at sea, the Earl believed that he would have replaced himself as the Queen's new favorite! ”

After speaking, Xu Mo took out a few design drawings of the battleship from his arms, handed them to Hedram together with a parchment letter, and said: "This letter is the agreement reached between the earl and me, and he noted in the agreement that he used the battleship drawings to hire me to attack Clifford, on the condition that after Clifford's next voyage to sea, he must never return to London!" ”

Hudram and Gerhardt carefully looked at the letters and the design drawings of the battleship, and after a while, Hudram finally closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he said: "Gerhardt, gather all the officers and alternate non-commissioned officers on board!" ”

When Gerhardt gathered everyone, Xu Mo and Ahan were not idle, contacting their reincarnation companions to discuss the current situation.

"Selena, that's the way it is, but there's one thing I don't understand yet. The strength of the characters in this casual world plot is not high, why is that Alfred and Hedlam so nervous? Could it be that there is any information that Alfred did not reveal, that Clifford is very strong and very difficult to kill? Ahan asked, a little strangely.

"Ahan, are you confused! If it's on shore, as long as you help, both Clifford probably won't be in the eyes of that arrogant bastard. It's just the same reason you can't kill the Earl of Essex here, since Queen Elizabeth loves this Clifford, then we can't kill Clifford in London! ”

Selena smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, do you think the Earl of Essex is a vegetarian?" He's not going to find a killer to kill Clifford directly, so why do you need to hire us? ”

"Selena, you're saying that Clifford must be killed at sea?" Ahan exclaimed, "He's the admiral of a privateer fleet in England!" ”

"Now you understand, why is it annoying! It's just that I don't understand why that arrogant bastard would agree to sign this agreement and let go of the Earl of Essex! Selena said with a frown.

"Selena, have you forgotten who the count is? Once we reveal our identities, Sweden will face ......" Ahan was only halfway through his words, and suddenly frowned, "You're right, our actions are very secretive, and there are not many flaws, even if the matter of killing the Count is finally exposed, it will take a long time." At that time, we would have long since withdrawn from this world, and what will happen to Sweden has a fart relationship with us! ”

……

"BOSS, why did you agree to sign such an agreement and let go of that Earl of Essex? We are reincarnators! Dinah on the other side also asked Xu Mo in confusion.

"Because of something and a hint of a soul imprint." Xu Mo said lightly. Immediately, Xu Mo shared the hints from the soul imprint with Dina to watch.

"Samsara 228, you have received a commission from the Earl of Essex, the owner of the treasure "Gallic Wars", after completing the commission, the treasure "Gallic Wars" will become your exclusive treasure, which can be used as a special item for the position of the Stormtrooper position."

"Hint: Job special items can be taken out of the casual world, and under certain conditions, they can be used as job transfer items for certain classes!"

"Job Transfer Item!" In the communication of the soul imprint, Dinah's voice was pleasantly surprised, "It's just that it's so difficult to get this thing!" ”

"No, this difficulty has been weakened by space, and like the job transfer mission, space has left us with shortcuts and backdoors that we can use!" Xu Mo weighed the "Gallic Wars" obtained from the earl's carriage, which was an old parchment book, and the dusty cover gave people a deep sense of historical precipitation.

"Boss, you mean the Vestelos?" Dinah's eyes lit up and she reacted quickly.

"Yes, I guess that if it is on normal difficulty, if you want to get the transfer item, the reincarnation will have to spend a huge price to become or hire a powerful pirate force to have a chance to compete with Clifford, instead of using the Vestelos directly like us!" Xu Mo showed a hint of a smile.

"Boss, are you so sure you can convince Hedram to lead the Vestelos to pursue Clifford at sea?" Dinah asked worriedly.

"No, I'm not sure, but even if Hedram doesn't agree to take the Vistelos risk, I have other options, and this way, Hedram should agree!" Xu Mo smiled faintly.

……

"Alfred, why did you agree to such an agreement!" Charlie said angrily, "Don't you know that this will put everyone on board the Vistelos in danger?" ”

"Alfred, isn't there a way to threaten the Earl of Essex with this agreement so that he doesn't dare to reveal the blueprints for the construction of the battleship?" Manuel frowned.

"It's not going to work, and if this matter is really exposed, the Earl of Essex will be reprimanded by Queen Elizabeth at most. He has nothing to lose, and he can still use the threat to his life as an excuse, and it is still us Sweden who will really bear the wrath of Queen Elizabeth! Hedram closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"The Admiral is right, only if Clifford is really dead, then this agreement can become the Earl of Essex, and he will be guilty of treason if he uses state secrets to bribe the nobles of other countries to murder political enemies. At that time, once the incident was exposed, not only would we have to bear the wrath of Queen Elizabeth, but also the Earl, even if the Queen was reluctant to kill him, his political and military future would be over! ”

Gerhardt went on to explain that both he and Hedram were of truly aristocratic origin, and that he had seen a lot of such political agreements, and that he had even encountered similar political events himself. At that time, he was the victim of a political incident, so that he retired from the position of Admiral of the Navy at a young age, stayed at home, and was finally recruited by Hedlam.

"Who said I put everyone on board the Vestelos in danger?" At this time, Xu Mo finally said coldly, "This agreement is in duplicate, one for me and one for the Earl of Essex." You will see clearly that this agreement is signed by the Earl of Essex and myself, Alfred Brown. K. Anderson's agreement! ”

Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on Xu Mo's face, and he turned to Hedram and said, "Your Excellency Admiral Hedram, I have helped the motherland obtain a blueprint for the construction of an advanced warship. I think that merit should allow you to reward me with that armed merchant ship! ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Mo resolutely turned around and walked out of the captain's room, ignoring everyone anymore.

"Did he think that with an armed merchant ship, he could deal with Clifford's privateering fleet?" Charlie was still angry.

"Charlie, shut up!" After Xu Mo finished speaking, Hedram's face was already pale. At this time, when he heard Charlie's words again, he finally couldn't hold back his anger and yelled at Charlie.

Seeing the stunned look on Charlie's face, Gerhardt sighed and explained to the French companion: "Charlie, don't you understand? This agreement between the Earl of Essex and Alfred, in addition to the 'killing Clifford' I said can make this agreement evidence of the Earl of Essex's treason, there is another way to make this agreement evidence of the Earl of Essex's treason, and that is that Alfred died at the hands of Clifford! ”
