Wu Xin invited Horbarukuluna to share the barbecue, but the other party firmly refused and could not say a very convincing reason.

Wu Xin insisted repeatedly, but she just refused.

Wu Xin thought that this was their etiquette, and it was appropriate for him to invite him repeatedly.

The two sides tossed and turned for a long time, and it was not until Father Erlan asked for an audience that the priestess was able to escape.

The tense face showed that Father Erlan was in a bad mood, he had just been directing the soldiers and slaves to build houses, there were too many immigrants, there would never be enough houses, and the more difficult supplies were food.

That's why he's so unhappy.

He knew very well that he was not an old minister like Cassano and Sazastan in this group, so he was very grateful to Wu Xin for giving him great power in general affairs.

In order to repay Wu Xin, he has been working cautiously and wholeheartedly, striving to live up to his trust, even if there are often German knights who say something weird, such as 'It's really good luck to get such a favor just for a teaching assistant job.' ’

However, the difficulties of managing his finances and the support of his colleagues made it impossible for him to maintain his usual humble attitude.

He grudgingly endured, his face tense, controlling his lips before Holbarukuluna left.

Convinced that the priestess was far enough away, he immediately made the most severe accusations: "Your Excellency, I would like to complain to you about the actions of old Deverrich, who is either absolutely incompetent or disregards the overall development of Tripoli for his own selfish interests!" ”

Wu Xin was very satisfied with Father Erlan's attitude, and after hearing that condition, he should have this attitude.

This is determined by the position of his general manager.

However, in order not to let his subordinates get centrifuged, of course he had to behave at a loss.

Wu Xin's acting skills overpowered Father Erlan's ability to observe words and feelings, and the priest's emotions were too excited.

"During this period of time, there were many conflicts between me and him for the sake of German immigrants to keep their houses, which I did not want to hide at all, which I also understand, he is German. Of course, he wanted to fight for the interests of German immigrants. "Father Erlan can try to put himself on a fair stand, after all, he is not fighting for the interests of the Italian immigrants, and he can do have reason as the general secretary to complain about the interference of the German group," although the immigrants from Zuvara had a hard time because of this. But for the sake of the Germans who are most loyal to you, I have lowered my standards. After all, this is something that everyone has to understand each other. ”

"Both Germans and Italians were subjects of the Holy Roman Empire, and to me they were reliable subordinates and loyal subjects." Wu Xin's words, while comforting the representatives of the Italian group, also hinted quite clearly. Those Zuwara immigrants are indeed a secondary population in his heart, yes, it is a pity not to pull them to strengthen their strength, but it is unacceptable to give priority to them.

Father Erlan did not attack this again, but brought out the main reason for his visit today: "But the condition he negotiated is completely selfish and ruined the business!" Why are they all those big and inappropriate conditions, what we need is not those things, what we need is food! The Koutao Fish-Man tribe is able to provide food. ”

By human standards, any tribe of the Koutao Fishmen is very good at fishing, and this tribe of green crab claws is known for producing large and fleshy crabs.

Although these crabs are famous for their "green crab claws" that can be made into medium-grade nutrients. But the rest of the crabs are still ordinary food, and Father Erlan, who has been so anxious that the corners of his mouth have foamed because of the food problem recently, have already included those crabs in his plan.

"I understand your difficulties, but Knight Deverichy negotiates exactly as I have commanded." Wu Xin's explanation is completely true. "It's not that I don't need the food of the Kou Tao Fish-Man Tribe, it's just that you think about it, this is just a fish-man tribe with a population of two or three hundred How much food can they have, if we are very urgent about the food, it will make the other party doubt our strength, rather than this, it is better to wait for the relationship to be stable, and use money to buy their supplies. Compared to the profiteers who want to kill us, their bids will not be excessive. ”

"But we face a very real problem, Your Excellency, even if the amount of money invested in the fish-man tribe is limited. It would also weaken my ability to buy from mainland merchants, who from Egypt and Tunisia demanded higher and higher prices. Even if manure does increase your expected yield, I simply won't be able to raise enough food to last until next fall. Father Erlan's face flushed, and he tried his best to suppress himself, but he still had trouble controlling the rising volume. What we need is not jurisdiction, not those fish-men who guard the port. What we need most is food, food! It would be nice for those German immigrants to have half a month's surplus of food around them, do you want them to starve as soon as they get off the boat? ”

Wu Xin knew that in fact, the immigrants would not have half a month's surplus food.

When traveling by sea, it is the limit of immigrants to be able to bring some small but expensive furniture, such as precious stones and gold and silver coins, and they will not be allowed to bring food.

Wu Xin has of course built a lot of public toilets in the port of Tripoli, and is currently managing, a job that has always been done by slaves, and there is still plenty of manpower.

But food doesn't grow right away, and even with fertilizer, it takes time for grasses to convert sunlight into food that humans can absorb.

Wu Xin put on a look of embarrassment at this time, as if he had made a lot of determination to tell the other party the following words: "Actually, I have already had a countermeasure to this problem, through the relationship established on the island of Malta, to purchase grain from the Italian market, just because the sea is vast, I am not completely sure, I don't want to interfere with your work." ”

"I just hope that the grain ships will arrive safely, and if something happens, I will have to try to enter the Tunisian area and rob it." Wu Xin's words finally quieted down Father Erlan, although he didn't tell him that he planned to squeeze him, and there was a suspicion of tormenting him, but the leader had already explained all the reasons, and he didn't care about his tone at all, and the priest was already satisfied.

He saluted to Wu Xin: "I see, please forgive me for my rudeness just now, I believe that the grain ship will arrive safely." ”

"Don't say that, eat with us first, and remember to show complete faith in the presence of the priestess." Although the other party resigned a few times, Wu Xin thought that it was just a pretext.

He wanted to show the other party a glimpse of the mythical shark being dismantled.

………………

Wu Xin was a little disappointed at first that Horbarukuna couldn't have dinner together.

But the other party did resolutely refuse, and let Cassano convey Wu Xin's quite convincing reasons.

This reason really shouldn't require a lady to speak to him in person.

The priestess's transformation could not last until late at night, and she did not want a terrible diplomatic accident anyway.

This is not Cinderella's story, Cinderella has just lost its decoration when it gets to the point. When the priestess arrived, she became a .............

In short, Horbarukuluna ended up with a lot of shark meat, as well as some dairy products that are rare underwater, in a special leather bag. Returned to his tribe with the other Kotao fishmen.

And the guests of the banquet are still not limited to the insiders of Wu Xin and his gang, but also several powerful factions of the Godafi tribe, most of whom are distant relatives of Godafei.

With the successive deaths of the leader and the chief's eldest son, the tribe has lost much of its cohesion, scrambling for Wu Xin's support.

These people Wu Xin just nodded in acknowledgment. It will not take a stand, and the time is not yet ripe.

In addition, several leading figures of Zuwara's immigrants were also invited.

Wu Xin was much more enthusiastic about them, and they were more respectful to Wu Xin.

Because although they are quite popular among the immigrants, they do not have any troops in their hands, and they are completely dependent on Wu Xin to give them protection.

However, they were somewhat reluctant, after all, Wu Xin gave them insufficient houses, and they also resolutely refused their request to build a Xingyue Temple in the castle.

They were even more ruthlessly rejected their attempts to lobby for the freedom of belief of the Star Moon Sect.

Compared to most of the poor compatriots. These leaders were not short of food, even when they emigrated, they had slaves and camel beasts to carry their property and food, and although Amin's raid caused them a lot of losses, Wu Xin's troops finally took control of the battlefield, and their property was largely preserved, and they were not broken.

So a meal is impossible to get anything truly grateful.

However, they were indeed very respectful to Wu Xin, and most of the reason for their respect was that Wu Xin completely destroyed Ah Ming's troops, although Ah Ming still seemed to have fled, but his power was finally finished.

A military victory is really the best thing.

Wu Xin's victory was a demonstration of strength. After all, although Amin's reign in Zuwara was short, he did commit many crimes.

The second is fear, not to mention the mythical shark that has become food. This creature has always been the enemy of fishermen, and as a city by the sea, there are naturally many fishermen who have been swallowed by it, but now, this life that is enough to be the protagonist of a terrible story has been skinned and is being torn apart. It's about to be grilled fish.

But what scares them more than the mythical shark is the fire that Oder Kessler is celebrating.

"We use the flesh and blood of our enemies to kindle an unquenchable fire, please give warmth to dispel the cold."

"We use the flesh and blood of our enemies to kindle an unquenchable fire, please give light to dispel the darkness."

With the compliment, the Kormona apprentice spurred the half-ogre slave into the fire with pieces of meat that burned unexpectedly violently and emitted an indescribably distant aura.

The Xingyue Sect members could all feel the approximate origin of those pieces of meat today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have Pastor Xingyue, you should be able to smell that these flesh and blood have an extraordinary origin, if you have the courage to not want to eat sharks, you can also try this meat, if you don't have too much, it may be a big supplement." In fact, only one of these leaders has a first-class priesthood, and most of the others are in the upper echelons because of their family background. "However, I don't recommend this meat to friends with the level of Reverend Star and Moon, after all, it may lead to unpredictable results."

The real High Priest had died at the hands of Armin the Brain Drinker, and although he was a member of the Catholics, the ogre would not like these people who interfered with his rule.

However, there is no need for a priest level, as long as you are a devout Star and Moon believer, you can actually feel the approximate origin of these pieces of meat.

Dagon's influence on the southern shores of the Mediterranean is no less than that of the Star and Moon Archdemon.

The only priest had a stiff face, and everyone else was watching his expression.

"Is it really the flesh and blood of His Majesty, the King of the Deep Sea??" The priest's face made one of the chief immigrants speak out in disbelief about his suspicions.

He didn't know that at this time, Wu Xin had already put him into another book, and he was more religious than others.

"Indeed, this is the child of the King of the Deep, Suleiman the Magnificent paid a great price to bring this reinforcement from the Sea of Shadows, but it has already died at the hands of our Knights Hospitaller." Wu Xin's words are not lies at all, but they have nothing to do with the facts at all. "Today, we use it as fuel and enjoy the mythical shark."

In fact, Ode Kessler originally wanted to burn the corpses of some of the Janisseri soldiers they killed, but Sazastan also assigned the corpses to his name, and the corpses of ordinary people are of course one of the sources of necromancy, but they are not very efficient.

"Oh, yes, and one more piece of fuel." The female knight de Vrerich joined in the conversation, as if she had been surprised by the fact that she remembered something.

She dragged a man with a lot of hoops over.

"Muhammad?!" This name is too common in the Star Moon Sect.

"It is this Muhammad, who has just arrived in the port of Tripoli, who actually preached among the Knights Hospitaller, claiming that salvation can only be achieved by believing in the stars and moons, otherwise the end will fall on our heads." Wu Xin's words were cold and ruthless, and considering the other party's behavior, this was also of course, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been under a lot of pressure to respect your freedom of belief, and the envoys of the Roman True Pope and the Governor of Malta are all expressing their dissatisfaction with me. And you are not only not grateful to me, but you are not satisfied with being able to keep your faith, and you are still preaching privately?! ”

"Nothing, Sibo-sama."

"This kid has always wanted to be a pastor, and we have absolutely nothing to do with him."

Wu Xin nodded with satisfaction and patted the shoulder of the wealthy businessman who was most anxious to defend himself: "Well, I also think it should be like this, of course I believe in you." ”

As he spoke, Odd Kessler shoved his mace into the mouth of that Muhammad, and his mace was naturally not mortal, and the young man, who wanted to be a priest so much, immediately let out a terrible scream.

"We use the flesh and blood of our enemies to kindle an unquenchable fire, please give warmth to dispel the cold."

"We use the flesh and blood of our enemies to kindle an unquenchable fire, please give light to dispel the darkness."

Wu Xin and Odd Kessler prayed together, and as the flesh and blood of those demon princes gradually burned away, Wu Xin felt a warm current surging in his body.

Not one, but two warm currents surging towards him at the same time, one from the fire in front of him, one from the cliff where Sazastan was, and the bright guiding lights were still flickering.

Although Sazastan has to make spell casting materials and nutrients, he will not relax when it comes to collecting faith power.

Wu Xin pondered what was going on, and at the same time took the shark fin handed to him by the female knight Deverich,

Wu Xin raised the fish and meat in his hand, greeted the officers and soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller present, and then began to eat the meat amid cheers.

Cassano was supposed to be in charge of cutting the pieces of meat, but he was not happy with the concealed work that Wu Xin had arranged for him.

Fortunately, it is not difficult for Wu Xin to find someone who is willing to do this.

Odd Kessler didn't have a problem with this, he took the initiative to take on the job, and in his words, all the lower beings who couldn't understand the eighth level of magic should help each other.

For this kind of small pit Sazastan thing, the first seat of the heat is quite happy to participate.

But he's really busy, because he's also responsible for lighting the barbecue.

Therefore, the shark is cut a little more slowly, but fortunately, in addition to the shark, various shells and kelp are also served at the barbecue, so everyone has a good time.

Of course, the happy ones do not include most of the leading people from Zuwara, who are suffering terrible torture.

At this time, Cassano came and asked Wu Xin to take a look at what was found in the shark. (To be continued.) )
