Herkin re-disguised himself and stepped out of the safe house. He saluted the house, closed the door softly, and strode away in good spirits.

Snow is falling on the streets outside, which is a rare sight in the low-latitude Golden Valley. Residents of the city stepped out of their homes and watched the snowflakes in surprise. Herkin lowered the brim of his hat and rubbed his head down with passers-by.

Suddenly Herkkin stopped, looked up at the snow-covered city, and exhaled a long breath, his eyes full of passion. Snow was something familiar to him who was born in the winter capital, but this snow made his body restless, it was a long-lost impulse, as if he had joined the ice cave and received his first mission.

This time the choice ......

Victory is vigorous!

Defeat is also vigorous!

Herkkin took a deep breath, lowered his head again and walked forward, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

The meeting with Pan went very well.

Under Pan's active operation, the president of the Atlantic Assembly of Arte, Potrovic, finally got his wish to enter the Sparkling Elders' House and explained to the Sparkling elders the urgent need for assistance from the Simmering Counties.

Pan actively lobbied, saying that the meteorite was using the sound to build momentum at this time, clearly ignoring the internal affairs of the Shuojin people. To portray the felony he committed as the violence of the Glittering Gold People is simply too arrogant to take the Glittering Gold People in his eyes.

"The House of Elders can no longer indulge the Meteorite, and the forbearance of the Shimmering Gold is seen as cowardice by him. If the Glittering Gold People don't take some action, the Meteorite will only become more and more indulgent, and then infringe on the interests of the Sparkling Gold People step by step! ”

The people of Glittering Gold have indeed endured what Luke has done in the Golden Valley during this time. In particular, Yin violated the taboo but was not punished, which is very low-key on the side of the Shimming Jinren. Now that everyone who has been preached by Luke knows that there is already an unstable mood within the Shimmering Guys.

Since the Artshire Federation has taken the initiative to invest in the Shining Gold Man, then giving the Artshire Union a suitable grant can effectively warn the meteorite and let him come to the House of Elders as soon as possible.

Soon after, the World Bank announced the establishment of the "Steam Energy Development Company" in cooperation with the Atlantshire Union to redevelop the geothermal steam system owned by the Atlanta County Union to create more affordable and efficient steam energy.

The World Bank injected the first tranche of 200,000 gold coupons into the Steam Energy Development Corporation, which was used to purchase equipment from all over the world.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the Golden Valley.

Everyone knew that under the pressure of the meteor, the Shining Gold Man finally made a move.

And as soon as it is a move, it is a big deal, and the 200,000 gold coupons can be exchanged for currencies issued by various countries, most of which can be exchanged for more than 10 billion. The money was nominally for the rebuilding of the Atlantshire geothermal steam system, but it is clear from the information that it was used to purchase equipment from all over the world, and that the money was actually for the purchase of weapons for the Atlanta Union.

Such a big piece of fat meat is bubbling with oil, and everyone wants to come forward and take a bite.

Then the rooms where the Otshire legation, which was almost unattended, immediately became crowded with politicians who turned into vendors and actively peddled their own "steam pipes" to Potrovich.

Correspondingly, there were far fewer people visiting Luke.

Politicians are unsentimental, they only have interests in their eyes, and the ready-made votes in the Atshire alliance are more tangible than the promises of the Golden Shield Empire for the future.

Besides, the Shuojin people clearly support the Artejun Alliance, and the Golden Shield Empire is difficult to protect itself, where is there any future?

Luke has had a rare time since he came to the Golden Valley.

Jomington hurriedly came: "Lord Shousuke! We have to do something, or the friends we've won so hard will all go to the Atlantshire United. ”

Luke sat by the window, his legs crossed on the coffee table, basking in the sun without an image. Regarding Jomington's impatience, he said very flatly: "People who run wherever there is good will never be friends." It's very simple to want them to come over, give enough benefits, and they will all come to me.

But this kind of competition for profit is not our specialty, and it is not something that smart people do. ”

Luke's calm and relaxed mood made Jomington also calm his mood, and he asked, "Shousuke-sama has already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

"Nope!" Luke said cheerfully, "This kind of thing is not enough for me to deal with. We still continue our rhythm, anyway, our energy trading does not recognize gold coupons, and the shimmering gold people print so many gold coupons, sooner or later they will backfire. ”

Jomington thought for a moment.

The countries have earned gold coupons from the alliance of Atshire County, and they are very happy in the short term. But as long as the empire insists on the energy mark pegging, the imperial mark can gradually squeeze out the gold bond market in international trade.

After a long period of operation, countries will find that there are fewer and fewer things that can be bought with gold coupons in their hands. In order to prevent the gold coupons from rotting in their own treasury, countries will definitely run on the gold with the gold coupons.

And is it true that the Shimmering Gold People will issue as many gold coupons as they promised?

Of course not!

The more he understands the international market, the more Jomington can feel the power of the energy mark policy proposed by the meteor. It seems that all the puzzles can be solved by just playing this card.

"I see, Shousuke-sama. I'm going to reassure my colleagues now......"

"No!" Luke called out Jomington, who was about to go out, "I think we can show a certain amount of panic to match the performance of the Sparkling Golden."

Make an appointment for me to meet with the elders of the Glittering Ones.

When the people of the golden light see that the money is effective, they will continue to scatter the money. ”

Jomington laughed, "Shousuke-sama is still as good at fooling your opponent as ever. ”

The Golden Shield Empire's First Auxiliary Meteorite finally had time to meet with the Elders of the Golden Clan.

This was a victory for the Shimmering Stars, and the rumored Meteor was nothing more than that, and in the face of sheer power, his little tricks were just bluff jokes.

Give the 200,000 gold coupons to the Atshire Union to make the meteorite anxious to ask for a meeting, and if he gives a little more, he will not agree to any conditions.

The Glittering Gold Men allowed the Golden Shield Empire's First Auxiliary Meteorite to enter the Golden Valley and go to the House of Elders to meet the Sparkling Elders.

Luke travels through the city into the valley in a vehicle arranged by the Glittering Man.

The inside and outside of the valley are two different worlds. The city welcomes tourists and businessmen from all over the world, and the bustling city has the trendiest fashion and state-of-the-art equipment. In the valleys, they are as simple as primitive tribes.

At the foot of the cliff are huts made of stones. No electricity, no running water, no steam, nothing modern or anything to do with it.

All the Glittering Men who are trained in the valley must live this kind of hard life. They wore rough linen clothes, ate the food they had grown and hunted, and their leisure time was to go into the mines to collect gold.

The monotonous, ascetic life allows the young people to be unaffected by material things and devote all their energy to cultivation and spiritual training. They spend time with gold here to enhance their connection with the Golden Compass, the artifact of the Shimmering Gold Man; Here they learn how to maintain a desireless state of mind, and when they enter the world, they can quickly find peace of mind in the temptation of materialism.

Without the innate strength of angels, dragons, demons, and Shadow Clans, the Grunts were able to hold the top spot among the five ancient civilizations because each of them was subordinate to the entire population. Suppress selfish desires to the minimum, and everything is for the continuation of the race......

Luke looked out in the car, reassessing the strength of the Glittering Gold in his heart.

This is a very strong opponent.

Private car to the Presbyterian House. It is a circular open-air hall built of stone that is common in the valley and has a simple and primitive style. However, there are 13 chairs made of gold on the high platform surrounding the venue, and the golden light contrasts strongly with the venue.

Luke walked to the middle of the room.

Twelve of the thirteen golden chairs sat the elders, and they were the elders who governed the entire golden civilization. Because Elder Chun was assassinated, there was one less for the time being.

The elders of the Glittering Gold have no status, they have the same status in the House of Elders. At each Council of Elders, the elders of the Glittering Gold voted on a presiding officer, and the same was true for each disagreement.

The minority obeys the majority, and the individual obeys the collective.

This is the law of the Shining Golden Man.

This time, because it was the Golden Shield Empire's first auxiliary meteorite, Elder Mu was elected as the presiding elder of the House of Elders.

The pastor and other elders wore homemade linen clothes and straw sandals that they had woven themselves. There were no extra ornaments on their clothes, only a ring of gold plates around their necks that showed their status as elders.

The glittering warrior in gold armor brought a golden chair for Luke.

Pan came in at some point, and he stood silently at the edge of the venue, his expression extremely reverent.

After Luke sat down, Elder Mu said with a smile on his face, "Respected Meteor Shousuke. It's really hard to see you, and I don't know how long we would have to wait if it weren't for the 'Steam Energy Development Company' that we set up in conjunction with the Atshire Union. ”

Luke immediately protested, "The main reason why I made excuses not to see you was ...... On my first day in the Golden Valley, I was snubbed by the Glittering Ones.

As the head of the Golden Shield Empire, I was invited by the Glittering Gold People to come to the Golden Valley, but before I could enter the hotel room, someone could enter and wait for me. This greatly threatens my safety and is a contempt and harm to the Golden Shield Empire.

My staff has protested to the Shimmer many times, but you have not given me an explanation or apology, which is why I postponed the meeting.

However, instead of learning from their mistakes, the Glittering Men undermined the World Bank's principle of not engaging in new cooperation with the belligerents, and blatantly financed the enemies who invaded the Golden Shield Empire.

Is this the sincerity of the people of the Golden Shimmer inviting me to come to the Golden Valley? ”

Luke protested violently, and when he was so angry, he couldn't help but slap the armrest of the chair heavily, and the hard gold was deformed.

And for the opening of this negotiation, the people of Shuojin have long been prepared.

Elder Mu asked Pan, "Why were you waiting in Meteorite Shousuke's room before he entered his room, did you explain it to Meteorite Shousuke?" ”

Pan saluted the Elder and replied, "I have already explained to the Falling Star Shousuke. ”

Instead of asking, Elder Mu said to Luke, "Now that Pan has explained, I don't think the people need to respond to your protests.

As for the 'Steam Energy Development Company', that was the cooperation we had already negotiated with the Atlante Union before your war with the Atlante County Union, and it did not violate the rules of the World Bank.

Falling Star Shousuke, these are all misunderstandings, and they are all inconsequential trivialities...... You shouldn't have any objections. ”

The Glittering Man made it clear that he would be shameless this time, and Luke knew that there was not much objection to arguing in this regard.

"Okay, what you say is what you say."

Elder Mu smiled and said, "Since the Falling Star Shousuke has no objections, we will begin to talk about the purpose of inviting you to the Golden Valley this time. ”

Luke said, "Those two things can be left untouched, but are you going to talk to me like this?" ”

The pastor asked, "If you don't talk about it, how can you talk about it?" ”

Luke chuckled, "Look at where we both are. You elders of the Glittering Gold sit high on it, and I sit in the middle surrounded by you. I can't help but ask...... Is this a reciprocal negotiation?

Why do I have a feeling that a criminal is on trial. ”

Pan said on the side: "Meteorite, you are really a criminal to the Shining Gold Civilization. You can have a chair to sit on now, which is already the preferential treatment of the people of Glitter. ”

There are some pots that don't open and which pots.

The Elders didn't want to link the two things together at this time, and the important thing now was to solve the energy and monetary policy of the Golden Shield Empire. And because the sound involves the elf clear sky in the middle, it needs to be pulled out separately to solve.

Now that Pan suddenly brought up this matter on such an occasion, isn't it okay to find trouble?

But the elders can't rebuke Pan for this.

The venue was plunged into an awkward atmosphere.

After a while, Luke saw that none of the Elders of Shuojin were speaking, so he broke the silence and said, "Since Pan has mentioned this matter, I think it is better to settle the matter of Yin first. Only by clearing my name of sin can I face the Glittering Man as a normal person. ”

Pan sneered and said, "You still want to clear your name? Now the whole world knows that you made the sound emotional, committed the taboo of the Shuojin people, and even caused me to be driven out of the Shuojin civilization. ”

Luke cocked Erlang's legs and said, "Pan." Now the whole world knows that it was you who betrayed your twin sister! But did I make the sound emotional...... Can you come up with proof? ”

Pan didn't expect Meteorite to want to overturn the case in this matter, he said angrily: "Yinxin's thoughts are all about you, do you dare not admit it?" ”

Elder Mu also said, "Meteorite, you have personally admitted your relationship with Yin. ”

Luke laughed and said, "Did I admit it?" I'm just asking you not to hurt Yin, but I don't admit that I have an affair with her. It's friendship, not love......

And I've been dating the eldest princess of the empire, Agatha, if I have an affair with another woman, do you think the eldest princess of the empire will spare me? ”

Pan shouted angrily: "You still dare to quibble? ”

Luke's expression changed instantly, and he stared at Pan and asked, "Is it me who made her tempted?" ”

Pan realized that something was wrong, and he said emotionally, "She didn't say it, but I know it's you!" ”

Luke said, "Actually, I've always had a question since I learned that Yin had violated the taboo of the Glittering Golden People. Is Yin really emotionally attracted to someone, or is she framed. If she was framed, why didn't she justify.

Who in this world can make her willing to bear this grievance.

And you and Yin, whose mood is more volatile...... I think the elders should see it better than I do. ”

All the elders looked at Pan together.

Pan's face was pale, and his whole body trembled and he couldn't speak.
