Chapter 476: The King's Warning (4)
Florence propped her elbows on the desk in front of her, her chin in her hands, and looked at Sherlock very seriously.
"Sherlock, I have a good impression of you personally, the El Organization needs young and promising young people like you, and only young people like you can make the El Organization stronger."
"But you also have to be considerate, an old man, an old man with half of his body in the coffin board, he has put effort and effort into something...... Then, he must succeed. ”
Florence sighed.
"You know, according to Al's rules, we can't get directly involved in the specific affairs of Medland."
Whoa. "So, if you want to accomplish something, sometimes, you have to use some more tortuous means."
"For example, in the Rann Corridor, there is a group of local gangsters who are dissatisfied with the Delen Empire, and there is a conflict with the Delen Imperial Army...... It so happened that a certain young and promising imperial officer from the port of Tulun hanged them all. ”
"For example, one of these gang members is a descendant of a powerful corrupt spirit follower. And the believer of the corrupted spirit, he has already taken on the task of doing something in the port of Tulum on a mid-autumn night. ”
"For example, a precious, but suitable forbidden object, appears in the right place at the right time, through the right person."
"Another example, with an extremely suitable excuse, with an impeccable reason, let a proud member of the royal family, together with a group of good and happy staff, arrive at the right time and at the right place where the incident occurred."
"It all has to look like some kind of coincidence, a purely natural coincidence, without any element of human interference."
"Under the brewing of all these coincidences, a far-reaching thing happened."
"What started as an ordinary assassination revenge turned into a massive attack because of the hatred of some heretics...... The people of Tulum harbor suffered heavy casualties, so the female devil of Casica Island surrounded Tulun Harbor to the brim. The forces of the empire around the port of Tulun have been mobilized, which is enough to turn the port of Tulun into a huge trap. ”
"For the sake of that precious forbidden object, in order to stifle the war potential of the Deren Empire, a noble church dignitary personally visited the port of Tulum."
"And because of a series of coincidences, this big man of the church capsized in the port of Tulum, where the force soared, and he, along with that forbidden object, became the trophy of the Delun Empire at the same time."
"The Wall Chapter is not important, even if by studying the Wall Chapter, the main force of the Delen Empire's army, those fifth-order swamp shadow wolves, can break through from the fifth order to the sixth order...... But for us, it's not a big deal. ”
"The true strength of an empire is sometimes not in force alone."
So, for the church, it's a bit humiliating for the Wall chapter to be taken away, but it doesn't matter. But the fall of the Third Holy Inquisitor, who is a noble of blood, has made it clear that he will definitely become a core figure of the Church in the future, and is now one of the core high-ranking people, the fall of St. Attila's arrival, which is also a matter of course. ”
Sherlock muttered, "St. Attila's inauguration in the Delenn Empire, the fundamental reason is this? ”
Florence said indifferently: "Otherwise? In fact, he should go back to Daba, and be on an equal footing with the Pope of the Golden Oak Church...... However, the disappearance of Rafa forced him to come to the Deren Empire. Rescuing Rafa and knocking the Delen Empire by the way, this is the only task of his trip. ”
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Florence said indifferently: "The next thing is even more of a coincidence." ”
"A princess who is dissatisfied with her marital status and at the same time loyal to her homeland...... She discovers some of her husband's little secrets, and even finds an extremely precious clue to a certain treasure. ”
"Of course she had to escape from her husband's clutches, and where she was at that time, she had no choice but to flee to the port of Tulum and return to her homeland with the Empire of Dollon."
"And Tulun Port, because of a series of coincidental events, a large number of garrisons, a large number of eyeliner, and a large number of forces gathered there, both openly and secretly, our princess naturally fell into the hands of the official Delun Empire."
"Our princess, and the clue to that treasure, is logically sent to Hydrderabad."
"What will our betrayed husband, then, do with His Royal Highness the Prince, a prince from one of the most powerful naval powers in Medland? Of course, he had to mobilize the fleet, put on a posture of deterrence, and then, in person, rushed to Hyderabad, trying to get back the benefits that should have belonged to him. ”
"Then, something even more coincidental happened."
"This is something that has never happened in the mainland of Medland, the military expenses and baggage of the Abyss Battlefield have been stolen and robbed."
"The Delen Empire faces huge compensation."
"That crazy old lady, can she afford such a large sum of money? Unless she looted the entire Ruhr region, she couldn't have come up with so much cash...... What's more, so many transcendent rune weapons! ”
"It's all a coincidence, but everything is going well, our old lady, she can only open that treasure, can't she?"
Sherlock sighed.
Yes, everything is a coincidence, but everything is smooth and normal.
Starting from a seemingly trivial matter, the matter is brewed and accumulated little by little, from a small pustule into a huge poisonous sore, and then it explodes all at once.
Sherlock looked at Florence with awe.
Not to Florence, but to the El organization itself.
Florence himself...... Sherlock could see that he wasn't strong. Although he has also reached the sixth order, he uses a different evolutionary method, which is called the 'security mode' within the El Order.
Therefore, although Florence has reached the sixth order, his real combat power may not even be comparable to an elite fifth order.
But the resources he has at his disposal, the channels he has at his disposal for the El Organization, are what he is truly terrifying.
The huge Delun Empire, as well as so many other countries, large and small, are all counted.
Sherlock bowed slightly, paying homage to Florence.
"You should be grateful to me, Sherlock." Florence smiled.
Sherlock's heart twitched slightly, and he looked at Florence in horror, and a bad thought came to his heart.
"About the treasure of the Knights of Tribulation...... You know, it's very difficult for you to complete your advanced quest this time. ”
Florence took another sip of tea.
Sherlock exhaled heavily, his face gloomy, he picked up the teacup, drank it clean in one gulp, and then placed it heavily on the desk in front of him.
Florence, knowing his advanced mission. Whoa
He knew exactly what his advanced mission was about - but according to the internal process of the El Order, this advanced mission should come from the core of the El Order, and it was almost some kind of spontaneous mechanism, and basically no one, not even a higher-ranking member, could interfere with this mechanism.
Advanced quests should not be known to outsiders except the tasker himself.
But Florence knew...... So...... There must be something wrong with the mechanism within the El organization.
Sherlock licked his lips, and even though he had just drunk a cup of tea, Sherlock still felt that his lips were dry.
"Your advanced mission is to enter the treasure of the Knights of Suffering, and then, find an artifact that is extremely important to the El Organization, and can even be said to bring earth-shaking changes to the El Order!"
Florence looked at Sherlock with a smile.
He admired Sherlock's constricted pupils, tight skin, and slightly distracted gaze.
He has always admired such ...... On other people's faces, this kind of micro-expression changes of nervousness, doubt, and vigilance, but powerlessness.
"But you have to understand that if the Delen Empire wasn't about to go bankrupt, they wouldn't have opened this treasure."
Florence sighed.
"You see, that badge has been in their hands for so long, and they don't show any signs of action."
"I can understand their decision - because they were not short of money before, and the finances of the Deren Empire are very good. Their annual tax revenue is tens of billions, and although they spend more money, their annual income is enough to ensure the operation of the entire empire, and they can even have some spare money left. ”
"In such a situation, a mature and stable country will not open a treasure without authorization."
"It's not a good thing that an astronomical amount of wealth suddenly flows into the treasury when the whole country is functioning steadily and without huge expenses...... Sherlock, in your wisdom, you can understand this, don't you? ”
"Of course, if the Delen Empire suddenly gets a huge fortune, it may even trigger a shock in the country's economy...... Even riots within the country, and the prying eyes of outsiders. Sherlock muttered, "If I were them, I would keep this secret too...... Well, I'll send reliable people to survey the exact location of this treasure, find out what it's like, and then use it as a strategic reserve for the Empire. ”
Florence clapped her hands: "That's what they did. An abominable old hydra, with a few of the most desperate little hydras, has secretly left Hydraderaburg. As you said, they try to find out the details of this treasure, but they don't open it. ”
"And so many coincidental events have forced the Delun Empire to open this treasure and take out the huge wealth inside to make up for the huge losses caused by this imperial capital robbery."
Florence looked at Sherlock with a smile: "As long as the treasure house is opened, your task can be completed, and you should be happy." ”
Sherlock looked at Florence deeply: "So, what does all this mean to you?" You let so many coincidences come together, let people like Santa Attila who were originally out of the matter get involved, let His Highness George mobilize the native fleet of the Ice Sea Kingdom, and by the way, the Lucian Empire, they must have known about the treasure as well. ”
"And according to the sieve-like secrecy mechanism of the Lucian Empire...... Something about this treasure may have been ...... Knowing by the whole of Metland. ”
"What exactly do you want to do with that?"
Sherlock's voice grew louder.
What Florence did was completely contrary to the purpose of the El Organization to 'escape from the world and watch from the sidelines'.
