Valentin half-pushed, half-agreed to Hickstu's "threat", while Dark, was trying to convince Bolmer.

"What is the best investment? super high returns, great prestige, fame and fortune, that's the best investment, two, am I right?"

Georgina snorted coldly: "Is this kind of meaningless words useful?"

"If we can take out the North Sea Trolls, then the Construct Minerals for the Seabed is in our pocket. The tradition of 'above the sea to man, below the sea to the gods' will be broken, and we are the first to eat crabs. As for prestige, the smallest floating island has nearly a thousand people, right? Save the lives of a thousand people at a time, Mr. Bolmer, who can do that?"

"Sounds tempting, but is the North Sea Monster that easy to deal with?"

"How can there be profits that don't need capital? Red Coral only invests money, and our Chamber of Commerce does the hard work. ”

Bolmer's eyes lit up.

The navy of the kingdom of New Tennotiran is superior, if they make a move, they may be able to solve it easily, then it will be developed, if it can't be solved, except for a one-time investment, Red Coral will not lose anything, and it can justifiably send away the troublesome big man in front of him - just pay for the old man's mistakes!

Thinking of this, Bolmer suddenly became enlightened: "Mr. Duck, I am moved by the prospects you described, so, can you talk about the specific plan?"

"The first is to buy the cheapest floating island, which is ostensibly a lunch box factory site, but in fact an observatory and outpost. ”

Bolmer nodded secretly. The courage to dare to set up the base camp under the nose of the North Sea Giant is worthy of admiration.

"Then attack. With the new fleet as the main force, and the mercenaries of the Rohr Chamber of Commerce as the auxiliary, kill or capture the North Sea Monster.

Bolmer said: "It's impossible for the City Guard not to notice such a big move." When it comes to foreign troops, will it cause misunderstandings?"

"You've thought too much, once they understand the strength of the North Sea Monster, I'm afraid they won't see us as a threat, but as a savior. ”

Georgina said, "Dad, it's very dangerous, we don't know about ......"

Duck decisively interrupted: "Red Coral Investment, which time has it not been a brush with danger?

Georgina sneered: "It's easy to say. Once the North Sea Monster emerges, it will be wiped out in an instant under the blows of the City Guard, don't underestimate Jacque's airship and fleet!"

"Then we'll have to settle for the next best thing and do a good job of buying and selling lunch boxes - no matter what we do, Red Coral won't lose money, will we? I have confidence in Jacque's strength, but not in Jacque's bureaucracy, in fact, we have submitted preliminary information about the North Sea Monster to Jagenke City Hall, but we have not received any positive response. It seems that they treat us as troublemakers who make trouble out of nothing. ”

Bolmer made up his mind: "That's it, Mr. Dark, please report back to your Chamber of Commerce and send someone to discuss the details of the cooperation, and I will send you a list of the floating islands that Jagenke sells to you later this afternoon." ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Boss Georgina was unhappy: "Grandpa won't agree." ”

"No, I agree. ”

Everyone saw that it was Valentan and Hickstu who had ended their secret conversation and came over.

"If there's one thing that brings Jagenque well-being, then why don't you do it? Besides, maybe it will bring us more fame and fortune, and all we lose is a sum of money." ”

Duck stared coldly at Hickstu, who was smiling hippie behind him: "I heard the old man's words insincerely. My esteemed Holy Envoy, in normal business activities, the Cult of Light also has to intervene?

Hikstu bowed gracefully: "On the contrary, my esteemed Shadow Child, I am here to protect you this time. ”

"Exactly, my dear friend," said Valentine. The Holy Envoy has convinced me, and I have decided to fully support your Chamber's actions. ”

"Don't you need me to buy hundreds of thousands of indulgences?"

"My dear friend, we have hated each other and helped each other, why should we keep hostility and unhappiness in our hearts and forget the good times?"

"Because I can't trust your character. ”

As soon as Duck said this, the air instantly froze, and Georgina's eyes came to the bone, and the bones passed.

"All I can say about the past is regret and apologies. So, I'm fighting for a chance that will change everything. Forgive my frivolity and ignorance, friend, and now I need your help. ”

Hikstu looked at Duck honestly and held out his hand to him, who looked at him steadily.

After a long time, Duck gently opened his hand and walked away without looking back.

"Duck, how can shadow exist without light!"

"I'm a big old man, I don't understand!"

Hikstu sat down and sighed helplessly.

Valentine said, "Holy Envoy, it seems that there is a deep prejudice between you. ”

"Yes, it's just that I was too short-sighted and lost a reliable ally, and now I ......," he shook his head helplessly, "I can only go talk to George." ”

This sentence made Georgina jump up at once: "Who are you talking about?"

Valentine and Bolmer shouted angrily in unison, "Nana!"

Hickstu was stunned: "George, what's wrong?"

"Yes, very well, George the Dorand man, George the Iron Tooth of Dolland, George, the son of Master Nicholas, one of the three sages of alchemy?"

"Uh-" Hickstu looked at the girl who suddenly jumped up, a little unsure, and said vaguely, "I don't know, could it be the same person-"

"Did he come to Jagenke?"

"No, he's not here. "Hickstu didn't lie, George was at Bagpipe Castle.

"In the North Sea?"

"Well, this, I'm not sure if he's still ...... now"

Georgina jumped up suddenly, and her whole body seemed to be shining: "I know, thank you, thank you, Lord Holy Envoy, you are really my gospel! Grandpa, Dad, I'm out, and I'm not coming back tonight." With that, she rushed out.

Darker returned to the Rohr Chamber of Commerce in a sullen mood, and when he saw George, he said, "I may have messed up." ”

"Oh, what?"

Duck told Hickstu about it, and George smiled lightly, "Ah, don't worry. That guy hit a wall with you, and he'll come to me. ”

"But, do you think it's possible for this guy to change his ways? I wasn't sure what he thought, so I rejected him. ”

"Afraid of missing an ally, or wronging a good person?" George smiled and shook his head, "Duck, there's no need to suffer from gains and losses. Hikstu has changed, the situation has forced him to change, and if he doesn't cooperate with us, he will die. ”

Duck was stunned: "What do you say?"

"My mother just sent a magical newsletter, an obituary from the Great Sanctuary of the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Doland. ”

"Who died?" Duck took the note and looked at it, shocked, "Pope Gregory died of a violent illness?"

"The obituary was sent three days ago, and Gregory died even earlier, having been poisoned on Mount St. Leonid, the sacred mountain of the Cult of the Illuminati. ”

"What's going on?"

"Gregory's policy of religious oppression became a tool for the clergy to compete for power and exclude dissidents, not to crush the princes and nobles and alchemists, but to crush themselves. The Cult of Light is in civil strife, Gregory is poisoned, and the remaining bishops of the major divisions are not convinced, and the religious war that engulfs Dorand is about to begin. ”

Dark's brows furrowed: "So, what happened to that sinister Urbino?"

"He continued to hold back and secretly develop his power, and I think his idea was to wait for his opponent to be killed and wounded, and then come out to pick peaches. ”

"Which side of Hickstu is it?"

"Gregory's over there. ”

"Won't he quickly change his master, come here to compete with us, and wait for death?"

"Wrong. This is a smart performance, with his strength and ability, staying in the imperial capital is a dead end. And Gregory knew that he had been given a chronic poison and would not survive for a few days, and he was unwilling to let the rest of the guys feel better, so he wrote an edict to rectify the discipline of the Illuminati Sect and handed it to him, and gave him one hundred and fifty members of the Holy Sect Discipline Regiment, which had the strongest combat effectiveness. ”

"But those subdivision archbishops are strong and strong, and no one will listen to him!"

"So he came to us. ”

"I see! I said how did this guy turn around with us, it turned out to be homeless. You wait, I suddenly remembered something. ”

Duck pondered for a while, and said, "I remember that he once uttered the crazy words 'I want to be the pope', and now it seems that if he has the edict of the late pope in his hand, and then he is strong enough, maybe he can really pull the tiger's skin as a banner and make a pope." ”

"Yes, he has fame but no strength, and we, on the contrary, have strength but no fame—how many Cultists are there? ”

"Understood, how did he find us?"

"He went to visit my mother at Iron Tooth. My mother advised him to build his own power by starting with the weakest region of the Cult of Light in the North Sea. We happened to be here, so he came to him. ”

"He's not afraid of a conflict between the Cult of the Light and the Cult of the Dark God, and we take the opportunity to eradicate him?"

"That means we're completely exposed, and the war with the Cult of Light is in full swing. ”

"Well, you mean, this guy can be trusted for the time being?"

As soon as he arrived in Beihai, he thundered and cleaned the few Holy Churches of the Cult of Light one by one, leaving only those with better reviews. Although it seems that the God of Light has gone crazy and broken his bones, he has actually established a team with the Discipline Regiment as the backbone and directly obeys his orders. Under his control, a conflict between the two sides is unlikely. Moreover, his other wording is interesting. ”

"What?"

"He called the Cult of Light who did not listen to him 'hypocrites.' Since he is a hypocrite, he is not a member of the Cult of the Illuminati. Any hostile act done against them by any force will not, and should not, be hostile to the entire Cult of the Illuminati. ”

"Dig your own corner?"

"Quite the opposite. You should understand it this way, Hickstu, who has betrayed the 'degenerate' Cult of the Illuminati and started anew. ”

"It's really complicated, let's put it bluntly, is it appropriate to form an alliance with him?"

"Suitable. ”

Duck sighed helplessly: "That's no way, I'll go find him." ”

George was confident: "No, he is the weak side now and will come to us." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came in and announced, "Lord George, someone is looking for you outside. ”

George and Duck looked at each other and smiled, what a coincidence.

George said loudly, "Please." Bring me three more cups of good coffee. ”

The coffee came up, and George lowered his head and took a sip.

Before he could raise his head, a figure full of youthful vitality rushed in like a whirlwind: "George, George, you are really here! It's me, it's me, Georgina, no, Stella!"

George's hand shook, and a cup of coffee was sprinkled on his crisp robe.
