Chapter 51: Van Matthew

Fan muttered vague words, and the air lit by the sun was filled with anxiety. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

'I need him, I need him very much. Fan said to a bachelor with a cloth bag on his shoulder, his old fingers holding the teacup and taking a sip of coffee. Fan didn't know how the blood mage had learned about his membership with the Freemasons, but there was no doubt that the woman was now armed with a butcher's knife to decapitate herself.

"But we've already made a promise, haven't we?" said the bachelor, "and having made this promise while the Freemasons were still united, Noah Sanders' work would be put on hold indefinitely unless he himself changed his mind." ”

The middle-aged bachelor was Rafael Mooney, and he was a good lobbyist. Fan negotiated with him because he knew that a person with persuasive powers was also a person who could understand the other party's situation to a large extent.

The café was bustling, and the bachelor stopped talking when he saw someone pass by. After quietly observing the neighborhood, he said: "Not to mention this perverse act that has ruined our reputation, we are now standing on the side of two different forces, and it is unrealistic to agree to this excessive request without saying anything. ”

The Freemasonic branch of Tours had long since changed its name to the Brotherhood of Liberty, and had broken off much of its relationship with the Freemasonry of Ranter.

"I still have some influence to install your men in the Cabinet Council of Tours. ”

"A title of honor that is useless will reveal our whereabouts. We all know that the power of the Cabinet Council is held by the likes of aristocratic businessmen. Then again, why are you afraid of a little girl, even if she guesses your identity, how can she shake your position without any evidence?"

"I'm not afraid of that little girl, but I'm afraid of the emperor. Fan said worriedly, gritting his teeth and emphasizing, "That young emperor is not a good stubble, he is too shrewd as a vase." You don't really think that his daily drinking and merrymaking is decadent fun, do you? He knows exactly how to pretend to be a harmless ornament in front of a suspicious Prime Minister, and use Jon's suspicion to suppress political opponents, he has the brains and knows the measure. He would first smear my reputation in front of the Prime Minister, make the Prime Minister suspicious through other people's gossip, and finally pull me down with a fake piece of evidence. ”

"I can tell you're taking this matter very seriously, and you must have a real and practical proposal to discuss when you meet with me in your busy schedule, so if you don't mind, just say it as soon as possible. Raphael said.

Van found him because of his fame abroad, and presumably the other more fanatical members of the Freemasons, Raphael, would have listened to a fairly fair deal, and would follow it. Because the most important thing for a lobbyist is his credibility, when the name of a liar is pasted on his face, no matter how much he stirs his lips and tongue, no one will listen.

"The demand for drinks at Sands Palace has always been a deep hole of dissatisfaction, and I would be happy to let your partner get this piece of the cake. Fan said that, the conditions are not very tempting when you think about it. Not only is it profitable to supply alcohol to the royal family, but it is also very convenient to poison and assassinate people if they know what alcohol is preferred by people in high positions.

"Hahaha......" Raphael seemed to have anticipated this sentence a long time ago, "the Freemasons don't need money my friend, and the suspicious personality of Old Man Wilder is well known. I don't doubt you'll be able to change the supplier of drinks, but before we could even plan to deliver the poison to assassinate Jon, he found us on the head. ”

Van himself knew this, and even planned to whisper a few words in Jon's ear after the East Window incident, giving some information to gain Jon Wilder's trust. Raphael undoubtedly saw through this, so he replied with a mocking laugh.

"Maybe I guessed your intentions wrong, please forgive me for not being with me, I still have some important things to deal with. Raphael continued to smile and got up to leave the café.

"I have other chips!" Fan begged Raphael by the sleeve almost out of control.

Hearing Van say this, Raphael returned to his chair. took the first sip of victory coffee from the table, and waited unhurriedly for Fan to spit out the sentence in embarrassment.

"Demorah, I still have an eyeliner in Demorah. He was a courtier of the Margaret family, and if war broke out, he could take the city from inside and outside. Fan said without forgetting to explain the importance of the city, "It is located near the Grey Pass, just like Estile. Once you capture it, you will be able to take advantage of the situation to control the offensive situation. ”

"Mr. Van Matthew. Raphael still felt that this bargaining chip was not enough, "Do you ask us to hand over to you a weapon that has the potential to change the way of war and its maker, which can be exchanged for a city or a hundred thousand people in time?"

"If you want me to come up with a condition that can dismantle the empire in an instant, then you can't wait, and even if I do, I won't tell you. Fan said.

"I thought you wanted a fair deal. ”

"That's what I hoped, and there may have been some misunderstandings in this conversation. I just need Noah Sanders to come to Telmi alive, and the rest is none of my business. ”

Raphael's face darkened, "Mr. Fan, maybe you can help me sort out the context." How can a weak old man who does not hesitate to sell his country to stabilize his position let the key that can make him rise to prominence die?

"Tenasca!" Van added, "The dwarves of Tenaska provide a new type of musket for the Empire. ”

"The dwarven city south of Rant, the dwarves have never been involved in human warfare. ”

"But that doesn't stop them from peddling weapons, and a new type of musket is equipping the army. I've told you everything, and now I want Noah. ”
