Chapter 81: Anti-Water
The Gnoll Scream signed the Westside Logistics Establishment Agreement and the Westside Trade Route Development Plan, and the Luke-led Westside Commercial Development Project was officially launched.
According to the agreement and plan, Scream is responsible for persuading the sand pirates to change careers, and use the information in their hands to actively engage in the western material circulation industry. Luke is in charge of the sand thieves laundering process, as long as they are honest businessmen, all the crimes they have committed can be undone.
If someone still wants to mix dual identities, the empire may not be able to manage it, but the Moonlight Royal Court definitely has a way to make him unable to mix in the western realm.
The turnip and the stick made the jackal howl very cooperative, and he even took the initiative to hand over a part of the list of sand thieves and the safe road, which not only accepted the name of the vote but also got the first investment in Angry Waves City.
Things settled, and a thick stack of gold tickets was tossed to Scream by Luke.
"These are the start-up funds for the Westside Logistics Company, and those who are willing to make money with me are the veterans of the Westside Logistics Company. If you don't want to make money with me, I don't force it, give him a sum of money to fend for himself.
Just don't plant it in my hands in the future. ”
Screaming grabbed the gold coupon in his hand and weighed it, it was estimated that there were two or three hundred gold coupons.
Such a generous gesture made Scream even more sure of the correctness of his choice to follow the Governor of Meteor.
He stood up and saluted Luke respectfully, "Please rest assured, Lord Governor. I don't dare to guarantee that there will be no sand thieves in the west in the future, but I guarantee that there will definitely be no sand pirates who can become a climate in the future, your trade route is absolutely safe, and your investment will definitely be rewarded. ”
"Of course I believe that my investment will pay off, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you." Luke stood up and straightened his shirt, then said to Scream, "That's all for today's meeting!" For the next few days, I have important things to attend to, and don't come to me if there is nothing important.
When everything that needs to be done is done, I will discuss with you in detail how the Westside Logistics Company should operate. ”
Shriek immediately accompanied Luke out, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything important for the Governor?" We still have some strength in Sunshine, and if you give me some time, I can provide the Doge with a few hundred elite warriors. ”
Luke saw through the careful thinking of the scream, and he chuckled, "In the future, you will be a regular businessman, and a businessman should look like a businessman." What are you doing gathering a few hundred warriors to come to Sunlight City?
Rebellion? ”
The screamer immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Governor! The sudden change of identity made me a little uncomfortable, I just meant it. ”
"Whatever you want, don't get involved in the fight at the national level, your little bit of family ...... Can't afford to play.
With the time and energy, just do what you should do! ”
Luke snapped and screamed.
Now that they have taken away the knives in the hands of these sand thieves, they can no longer be given a chance to touch the knives, and they have also broken their thoughts of touching the knives. Otherwise, as soon as this mouth is opened, these vicious people will be difficult to manage.
Westborder Logistics can have force, but force must be strictly controlled within the limits of need.
Scream understood Luke's words and knew that the lawless sand pirates in the Westside were truly a thing of the past.
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Luke left Slave Corner and returned to Lake Castle in the center of the Sunshine Manor, and was informed that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had summoned him as soon as he entered the gate.
Luke followed the eldest princess to Agatha's bedroom. Agatha was standing on the terrace looking out at the scenery, her white dress was very eye-catching, but there was a worried look in her eyebrows.
The female official reported: "Your Highness, the Governor of the Falling Star is here. ”
Agatha waved her hand behind her back for the female officer to leave, and the female officer withdrew and closed the door.
Luke walked to the terrace and after looking around outside, asked, "What is Your Highness looking at?" ”
"I'm looking at the castle's defenses, and I don't know if we can defend until help arrives in the face of a siege."
Luke couldn't help laughing: "Since we entered Sunshine City, people and animals are harmless and concentrate on shopping, who will besiege us?" Is it that you have nothing to do when you run out of money, and you are thinking nonsense here? ”
Agatha turned her head, stared at Luke with sharp eyes, and said in a disgruntled tone, "Don't think I'm stupid. I'll admit I didn't know what you're letting me go on a shopping spree at first, but the rising prices in the Sunshine Market these days have made your plans clear.
Raise the price of the harvest festival and raise the cost of keeping the territory running for the lords of the West.
Very nice plan!
But have you ever thought about how we get out of here? Do you think the nobles of the Westlands will let us go? The great nobles of the Westlands are here, as are the Celtic envoys. Not only will you kill us here, you'll push the West over the side of the Celts entirely.
You've done a great job in both Angry Waves and St. Lun, but you don't know the West, so you should tell me your plans ahead of time! ”
At this time, Agatha couldn't control her emotions, she felt that she trusted the meteorite too much, and the meteorite's previous performance made her lose her judgment.
Now that the harvest festival is about to be held, the price of goods in Sunshine City has been raised. It's like sticking a knife into the artery of the nobles in the western realm to bleed, and these nobles who are on the edge of the empire's domination will never sit idly by.
Agatha took a forced step towards Luke, resisting the urge to slam him against the wall and beat him up.
Luke confronts Agatha, who is angry but still controls his emotions, and decides that it is time to explain what he has done to her.
And some things also need the endorsement of the eldest princess of the empire.
But before Luke could explain, the female officer pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Agatha and Luke so close to each other, she immediately turned her gaze to one side.
"Your Highness, Lord Governor, Count Ould is here. He asked to be received by the Governor of the Falling Star......"
Agatha realized that she had lost her temper at this point, and she immediately took a step back, and then noticed the female officer's words.
"Count Ould said that he asked to be received by the Governor of Meteor, are you sure he used the words 'request' and 'reception'?"
Earl Ould is a count, and Meteorite is a viscount.
Lord of the Oasis of Sunshine, Earl of Ould, Meteorite is the governor of Raging Waves.
The Earl of Ould is higher than the meteorite in terms of title and position, how could he use this kind of honorific "down" to "up" when he came to see the meteorite?
It's right to say this kind of thing to yourself.
The female officer confirmed, "Count Ould did say so, and he was waiting for a reply from the Governor of Meteor in the living room on the second floor. ”
There's definitely a story in there.
Agatha looked at Luke and asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "What did he come to you for?" ”
Luke knew that Count Ould must have understood what he had told him.
Guessing the purpose of Ould's visit, Luke said to Agatha: "Since Count Ould has come to seize the window, His Highness will go with me to meet him." By the way, I can explain to His Highness what I have done these days.
Rest assured! No one is besieging us. ”
With that, Luke walked out the door and asked the lady to lead the way to Count Ould.
Agatha looked at Luke's back and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly: "It seems that you are still the one who can do miracles, I don't know what kind of surprise you can bring me this time." ”
Agatha strode along.
Count Ould, who was waiting in the living room on the second floor of the castle, was very restless, although this was his own castle, he did not feel at home at all.
I had just made a difficult choice, a choice that would affect the future of the Ould family. This window is fleeting, and you can't afford to waste too much time thinking and weighing.
Without making Count Ould wait too long, Luke pushed the door open and walked in.
"Your Excellency the Governor......" Count Ould immediately stood up and saluted Luke, and when he saw Agatha come in with him, he saluted Agatha again: "Good day, Your Highness the eldest princess, good day to the Governor." ”
"Good day, Earl, please be seated!" Luke asked Count Ould to sit down, and he and Agatha sat down separately, and then asked, "Is the Duke of Celtic's envoy with you?" ”
Agatha couldn't help but look at Luke, who was sitting beside her, and wondered if this thing could ask directly?
But who would have thought that Count Ould replied, "Yes, the envoy of the Earl of Celtic does live in the Riyao Manor. The Governor must have known this envoy, his name was Erguya, and he had been to the city of Fury Waves. ”
"Erguya, that barbarian?" Luke did not expect that the Celtic envoy was an acquaintance, and he said to the Earl of Ould: "Although I have not met him, I know that he is very much relied on by the Duke of Celtic.
Has he met with you nobles who have a little strength in the West? ”
Earl Ould replied, "This morning in the basement of the Quiet Court on the southeast side of the manor, I had a meeting with the principal nobles of the West, and Erguya took part in the whole process. ”
"What did you talk about?"
This time Ould hesitated, beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.
Luke knew what Ould was worried about, so he reassured: "This time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is also here, this is your chance, and the only chance."
What do you have to say, in the future, the Ould family will still be a prominent family in the west, and even have a higher status than now. If you are given the opportunity, you can't take it...... It's really in vain that I want to pull you so sincerely. ”
At this time, although Agatha did not know what Luke had done to Earl Ould, making him the second and fifth boy of the nobles of the West, she knew what she should do now.
Agatha took out the momentum of the eldest princess of the empire and said to Count Ould, "No matter what you have discussed, it is still in the discussion stage. The Empire will not condemn a friend who has been guarding the Empire for something that has not happened.
Of course, it will not disappoint those who have meritorious service to the empire.
You come to know you don't stand a chance of winning, so do what smart people do. ”
At this point, Count Ould had no choice but to let go.
"At this meeting, the nobles of the Western Frontier reached an alliance and jointly sent troops to attack the Crescent Oasis after the harvest festival. At the same time, the Western Nobles Association jointly called on all members of the Brotherhood of Blades to ...... Rebel ......"
After saying this, Count Ould couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this step, he didn't have anything else to think about.
The decision of the nobles of the Western Frontier was expected by Luke, and the timing was just right, just in time to force Ould to his side.
Now that Count Ould is backing the water, Sunshine City has become his home turf.
The rest is to catch turtles in the urn, close the door and beat the dogs.
Luke then asked Count Ould, "...... you No, when did they decide to do it to me and Your Highness? ”
"Tonight!"
This is also the reason why Count Ould can't wait to come and surrender, if he can't get himself out of this incident after tonight, he and the nobles of the Western Realm will be the sandwich cake of the Moonlight Royal Court and the Golden Shield Empire.
Now Ould can't think about how the empire will deal with him in the future, and save the eldest princess of the empire, at least the family will not end in ruin.
Luke didn't expect this group of Western nobles to be in such a hurry, meeting in the morning, and couldn't wait for his own and Agatha's lives in the evening. It is estimated that Erguya has contributed a lot in it, after all, he can feel at ease by making the rebellion of the nobles in the Western Realm a fact earlier.
However, since Count Ould has come to work, they don't care what they do.
Luke glanced at Agatha and knew that she was calm on the surface, but she must be in a state of confusion in her heart. There was no need to expect the eldest princess to make a decision, and Luke said to Ould: "With the power of Sunshine City, can you wipe out the rebels in the shortest time?" ”
Count Ould said in embarrassment: "The nobles of the Western Realm are very wary of each other, and they all come to Sunyao City to participate in the harvest festival with powerful escorts. Most of the military forces in Sunlight City are maintaining order in the city, and a large number of barbarians have gathered in and around the city, if the battle spreads...... I'm afraid it will cause a riot in the whole city. ”
Luke nodded, Count Ould's concern was justified.
Once the battle is extended, the barbarians inside and outside the city do not know who the battle is aimed at, and once the riot breaks out, it cannot be controlled.
So Luke said to Agatha, "If all these nobles are punished, I am afraid that their successors will be used by the Duke of Celts." It is better to narrow down the target of extermination to the Tedgar hills, which can not only disrupt the Celtic strategy in the west, but also minimize the adverse impact on the empire.
I have another way to deal with them, so I'll let them go this time. ”
Agatha had been in a mess since she came in, and she had no idea what the meteorite had done to make such a flipped change in the West.
But it's certainly not that you buy and buy every day, and buying out is this situation.
Now Agatha really can't make decisions, and she doesn't dare to make decisions, of course, Luke is what he says.
But the gesture should still be done.
"As I said, what doesn't happen is what doesn't happen. Some nobles in the Westlands were deceived by Celtic into saying things that shouldn't have been said, and I don't think my father would mind.
The culprit of all is Celtic, and we will only pursue the culprit of the first evil.
Dealing with Celtic's envoy shouldn't be difficult for Sunshine City. ”
Count Ould immediately replied, "It is not difficult, Erguya and the people he brought are confined to their dwellings by me. As long as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess orders, I will immediately send someone to encircle and suppress them.
It's just that...... Along with Erguya is the Abyss Mage, and there seems to be an Abyss Apostle inside, which can be a little tricky. ”
At this time, a voice sounded in the room: "The Abyss Apostle can give it to me." ”
Agatha looked at the elf who suddenly appeared in the room, and stood up happily: "Miss Sunny Sky, you are also in the West?" ”
