Chapter 524: Then there's no need to talk about it
Skaha and Achilles have completed their mission and even captured two dryads who know some big secrets.
It's just that Jason doesn't know that he has been a little busy lately, and even with the help of Gareth and Lonnat, these post-war economic recovery and reconstruction tasks in the devastated areas will be enough for him to keep busy for a year.
In addition, at this juncture, he also received two waves of visitors, the first batch was the visitors of the Poseidon Clan, headed by the princess of the Poseidon Clan who was suspected of schizophrenia.
The last time they came was three years ago, but unfortunately Jason wasn't in Francis City at the time, but went to the Haraua Empire, so they just signed a deal.
But it seems that they have something else to ask for, otherwise it is impossible to follow up again, of course, what the purpose of her visit this time Jason probably guessed.
Except for Adrian, who is still sleeping in the basement, yes, this thing has been sleeping for four or five years......
Ever since Jason put the ice-blue crystal that Rockefeller had left behind in his cage, Adrian had been asleep, absorbing the chill from it all the time.
It's just that he didn't know how to respond to the princess of the Poseidon clan, Derek, although the price offered by the other party was very tempting, making it difficult for Jason to refuse.
After all, the wealth worth millions of gold coins and a large amount of ore are enough for the northern provinces to develop and expand their armaments without any scruples within a few years, or to let the three eastern provinces that have just arrived be rebuilt in the shortest and fastest time.
Sure enough, the sea is a huge treasure house, and a Poseidon can promise such a huge wealth, and it is hard to imagine what kind of wealth those deep-sea civilizations that are more powerful than the Poseidon will have.
This also made Jason's determination to strengthen his sea power more and more firm.
But the problem is that they don't have the confidence of Adrian, who is berserk in the system, and only one of the sky powerhouses under Jason is in charge of Francis City, and everyone else has their own tasks to sit in other places.
And the Earth Knight didn't help much after Adrian revealed his prototype, and Jason still remembers that Hassan burst out his most powerful power violently, but was defeated by Adrian very easily.
Even in that battle, the head of Jason's first intelligence agency died unexpectedly and tragically.
He hadn't forgotten that Derek had told him that Adrian was capable of slaughtering the Sky Knights, so he wasn't going to gamble.
So he felt that this matter had to be considered in the long run, and he wanted the wealth promised to him by the Poseidon Clan, but he did not want to turn the city of Francis, which he had worked so hard to build, into ruins.
Just as he was receiving Derek, a messenger sent by Phil arrived.
Jason was very surprised when he heard that Phil's messenger had arrived in Francis City to ask for a meeting with him, it stands to reason that Phil should be more busy than him at this time, and he was still in the mood to send someone to him?
But now that they had just ceased fighting, there was no need to make the relationship so stiff because of some small things, so he sent very enthusiastically to invite the messenger to the castle.
The current lord's castle has been renovated by the goblin master Goloro for two years, and it has already undergone great changes from the inside, and of course it still looks like that from the outside.
Now this castle is not guarded by Spartan warriors, a group of ordinary soldiers can block the attack of a team of extraordinary knights, this is goblin technology from another world, but Jason didn't dare to let Gololo install some high-power weapons, because that thing will explode.
He didn't want to come back from a trip to find that his home had been bombed......
Soon, a temporary convoy of city guards arrived at the castle with the messenger.
Jason was stunned for the first time he saw him, for the messenger was a young man, but he was a little too young, about the same age as Jason himself.
Shouldn't these cunning old aristocrats be sent to carry out this kind of thing? At least there won't be much difference in the identities of the two sides.
It's just that when he introduced himself, Jason couldn't help but have a hint of murder flashing in his eyes.
Because the young man took a deep look at Jason, and then smiled with a cold smile: "My name is Hawthorne, Sandra's brother, and it is a great honor to meet you, honorable Duke of the Northlands. ”
The genius of the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Clan is second only to Sandra, Sandra's biological brother, the successor of the kingdom title, and the hundred clan masters he led caused a lot of trouble for Jason when the war was going on.
Even many of the high-ranking generals of the northern army died tragically at their hands, and Lancelot hated this man to the bitter end, but he was so cautious that he avoided several ambushes specially arranged for him.
Therefore, Jason leaned back in his chair and looked at him with a faint gaze: "What did Phil ask you to do?
The hatred between Jason and the Holy Spirit Clan is no weaker than that between him and Phil, who first raised Phil and caused him huge trouble.
Later, he held a lot of power and led a major war, but in the end, Sandra died in the north because the plan was leaked.
So Jason has reason to think that Phil sent this guy to be completely unkind.
"You think too much, I'm not here to destroy the hard-won peace between us, although I want to kill you now. ”
Hawthorn sat down in the seat next to him very calmly and said, "But one day I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my sister." ”
Jason really wants to say that this kid is sick, and I can't fight back when you come to find fault with your feelings? But the other party's relatives are all dead, and there seems to be nothing wrong with hatred.
But he didn't want to discuss these fruitless things: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, tell me about your purpose, or Phil's purpose." ”
Hawthorn snorted coldly: "The war in the south is tight, and the Western Army cannot be mobilized at will, Your Majesty wants to ask you if it is time to fulfill the promise in the original contract." ”
Hearing this, Jason was speechless, he really wanted to let him send troops to support him?
So he chuckled, "If Phil opens the Lausanne Thoroughfare to my army, and sends my army into the city to resupply while passing through Sloving." ”
This request is a bit excessive, although it has been prepared for a long time, but Hawthorn is still frightened by Jason's shamelessness, why don't you just ask for the throne?!
"You know very well that it can't be. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
Jason shrugged: "Then there's no need to talk about it, send-off." ”
