Above the gray fog, without the "fool" at the top, Klein was directly talking to Gleilint as a "world", and he was a little embarrassed:

"Mr. 'Emperor', I just happen to have some clues about the ruins you are looking for."

"Oh? Such a coincidence? ”

Glerint asked, pretending not to know, surprised and delighted.

"But why didn't you say it in the afternoon?"

Questioning, he lost no time in showing some suspicion and some vigilance.

The top actor is nothing more than that.

"Ahem."

Klein coughed dryly and explained unnaturally:

"That's right...... It seems, maybe, probably, that ruin was accidentally opened by me......"

"Huh?"

Glerint knew, of course, but his pitch rose several degrees abruptly, with a mixture of amazement and disbelief.

Klein unconsciously lowered his head a little:

"Ahem, I'll talk about this later, I'll talk about it later.

"The reason why I came back to you every few hours was because I had a companion with whom I was exploring, and I had to ask for her opinion."

"So what? What was the outcome of your discussions? ”

Needless to say, if it hadn't been agreed, Klein wouldn't have found himself.

Sure enough, Klein went on to say:

"I can take you to explore the ruins, but there are some conditions."

"Tell me about it."

Gleilynt was noncommittal.

Klein couldn't bear his attitude, so he had to directly come up with the plan he had discussed with Sharon:

"First, I have to bring that companion of mine...... Well, she's Sequence 5. ”

He gave Miss Sharon's sequence level, one is to deter Mr. "Emperor" and warn him that there are strong people of the same level on his side, so don't act rashly, and the other is to show the sincerity of his side.

Gleilynt nodded:

"Reasonable request, but I'll bring another companion with me, and she's also Sequence 5."

In this way, the "Emperor" side is two to one against his side, I don't know if Miss Sharon can withstand it?

Crane thought to himself.

He has a lot of strength in his sequence 8, and he didn't take it into account directly.

Not...... With Miss Sharon's elusive style, if it is also Sequence 5, even if you can't beat it, it should be no problem to get out. As for themselves...... If you get into trouble, you have to try to make up for it, and with the existence of a "fool", the probability of Mr. "Emperor" having malicious intent should be very small.

After some consideration, Klein sighed secretly and had to agree to this request.

"Second, I need you to help me smash a magical item in return for taking you to that ruin...... As for the results of the exploration of the ruins, I will not participate in the distribution, and it will be better for you to discuss it directly with my companions when the time comes, and accordingly, I will not go deep into the ruins with you...... These are written into the 'contract' before they are acted. ”

Again, he has a good idea of his strength, and he will not hope for risks or gambles at the cost of his life.

After all, unlike the other three members, they were all the strongest group of extraordinary people below the demigod level, and each had a strong life-saving ability.

"No problem, my goal is not to harvest, but to be the symbol of 'war'...... Plus, I can make a contract myself. ”

Glerint happily agreed, and his goal was to help Carol complete the ritual, not to explore the ruins and gain anything.

What a happy promise...... Speaking of which, Miss Sharon doesn't seem to be too wealthy? Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken my bodyguard commission.

Once again, Klein experienced the struggles of the poor.

"That's good...... Uh, by the way, before we get to know each other and sign the contract? ”

Glerint frowned slightly.

Are you so bold that you dare to meet me directly? Not at all Klein! Uh, by the way, Ince was killed by me, and the clues he has will definitely not be able to completely restore the plan of that top old YB...... So, he was beaten by the old YB, and he only saw the reckless man of Rosago?

If this continues, Klein will not develop in the direction of Rosago......

Interesting!

Groaning frantically in his heart, Gleilynt smiled quietly on the surface:

"I have time this week, Wednesday and beyond, and you can decide the exact place and time of the meeting, and then you can send the information by mail to 124 Franz Street, Hilston...... Of course, it is also possible to tell me directly through Mr. Fool. "That's Carroll's current address.

Leaving the time and place to them to determine, it was also Glellint showing sincerity, after all, there were two sequence 5s on his side, and Klein must not have a sense of security.

Sure enough, Crane breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, a pleasure to work with?"

"Happy working together!"

…………

The next day, early in the morning, Grelynt had just eaten breakfast.

"Sir, Miss Audrey has arrived."

Hash knew that Audrey was coming to Gleilynt today, and what she called a "secret visit" meant an informal, no-post meeting that had no political significance, and was not meant to be out of sight...... There are no unsavory secrets between her and Glerint.

So early?

Gleilynt was a little surprised, but nodded as usual:

"Got it, let's take her to the chat room first, I'll come over right away...... By the way, by the way, remember to tell the servant to prepare an extra cup of coffee. ”

Carol hasn't come over yet.

Hash was slightly stunned, and then agreed quietly:

"Yes, sir."

In a hurry, there was no time to inform Carol that she had come early, so Glerint had to use the excuse of going to the bathroom and cast a picture of himself praying to her in the name of the "Lord of Order".

……

Audrey is wearing a sky blue solid color fluffy silk cake dress today, which is eye-catching.

"Good morning, Audrey, I have to say, this dress is very flattering to your temperament."

Audrey smiled slightly:

"Thank you."

She looked behind Glerint quietly, her eyes undisguised with curiosity.

She got nothing.

Glerint: "......"

"Don't look for it, she has a special status, and it's not suitable to appear in public right now, so I'll have to wait a few minutes to come over."

Glerint didn't pay much attention to etiquette, and sat down across from Audrey very casually.

"Oh."

Audrey nodded, and heard Gleilynt speak first:

"By the way, why don't you tell me what happened to me first?"

"Uh...... yes, do you remember that investment at the end of last year? ”

"You're talking about the project to improve the structure of the steam engine for small ships?"

How could Glerlint not remember, but he had heard the butler say that Sylvie Heisenberg hadn't applied for a progress payment for a long time, as if the research was in trouble? After that, he left it alone and left it to his estate agent, Anthony Stewart.

"What, Sylvie's research has progressed? But how are you interested in caring about steam engines or something? ”

Audrey took a sip of coffee, nodded and joked:

"You guy, how rich you are now, you don't even care about such an important investment.

"Well, his research has come out and is now preparing to set up a company, which requires a lot of money...... And I bought 15% of the shares from my dad with his financial support.

"I'm looking for you this time, in fact, I want to ask you, do you want to add a large amount of investment to continue to hold 45% of the shares in your hand, or do you want to reduce some of the shares to ease the financial pressure?"

Audrey said it politely, but Gleilynt knew that unless she sold most of her property and borrowed money from the bank's investment, she would not have the confidence to invest in someone who would continue to hold the 45 percent.

A small ship steam engine production plant would take a hundred thousand pounds to build, to say the least.

Glerint's mind moved:

"How much has Sylvie's technology stake been diluted now?"

“12%”

So ruthless?

Glerint frowned, Sylvie was originally 55%, even if Audrey bought 15%, there would still be 40%, now it seems that capital really eats people and does not spit out bones...... Of course, in this process, Sylvie needless to say, the cash alone must have been soft.

Although I can inherit the viscount, and I can hope to go further, I actually have about the same property as Audrey, and only a slight advantage......

Glerint thought about it, and said to her with a smile:

"I must reduce some of my holdings, otherwise even if I am sold, I won't be able to make up the money for the follow-up...... Why, you're going to make money from me? ”

Saying this, Gleilint was moved, and probably guessed where Audrey got the activity funds!

On the side of the ship's steam engine factory, there is often a flow of tens of thousands of pounds, and if it is all operated by Audrey, it is not a matter of taking out one or two hundred thousand pounds for a turnover.

Sure enough, she is worthy of being the daughter of a big banker, and she actually thought of such a way to hide the whereabouts of her funds.

Audrey nodded with a smile:

"In that case, how about transferring 15% to me?

"In this way, we will each have a 30% share and become the largest shareholder...... On their side, no matter what, they can only make up 40% at most, and that's almost impossible. ”

Wonderful! With his friendship with the Hall family, both parties are completely trustworthy, and in the past few years, although the property has been handed over to Anthony as an agent, he is directly responsible for Earl Hall, so Glerint has no reason not to believe Earl Hall at all.

Gleilynt sighed again.

Just when he was quite moved and wanted to ask in detail, the space in the study suddenly rippled like water.

After a while, Carol stepped forward.

She was still dressed as usual, wearing a small leather coat, slim pants, and small dark leather boots, which were pale yellow overall...... It is both capable and delicate, no powder, youthful and beautiful.

If Glerint were to describe it, "handsome", the word usually used to describe a man, would be particularly suitable for Carol.

Carol stepped out of the spirit world, subconsciously glanced at it, and immediately saw Audrey's beautiful face.

"This, really...... Extraordinarily 'exquisite'! ”

She found in her mind the most appropriate adjective.

As a girl of a similar age and equally confident in her appearance, the moment she saw Audrey, she couldn't help but breathe. Even, she still has a trace of inexplicable ...... Heart?.

"It's 'Beckland's brightest jewel.'"

She almost whispered a word of praise, and her straightforward and direct Intis praise style made Audrey's face blush, and she answered unnaturally:

"You've won the prize, ma'am."

Carol shook her head, swept her eyes to the coffee cup next to the black tea on the table, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and sat down beside Glerint.

"Hello, Miss Audrey, my name is Carol, and I am Glerint's girlfriend...... Well, we're not going to follow the normal process of getting engaged, so I can say his fiancée now. ”

Audrey was stunned.

She is extremely familiar with social etiquette and social clichés, but she can't find anything to continue talking about for a while.

Hey? No, she subconsciously sat next to Glerint...... It's a bit deliberate, like it was done on purpose for me to see. She clasped her fingers together and put them on her knees...... She's a little defensive about me? Uh, what is she guarding against? …… Wait, her eyes were on Glerint's attitude...... It seems that it is not only love, but also ...... Afraid of him getting angry?

Well, I see, in addition to complimenting me sincerely, she is also demonstrating to me and asserting Glerint's sovereignty...... But she was afraid that I was close to Glerint, and that it would upset him.

Tsk, Glerint really found a good girlfriend, and he cares about him so much.

Audrey's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and while she was genuinely happy that her friend had found happiness, she was a little depressed.

But there's no need for your girlfriend to be so defensive about me, right...... Even if Glerint has a more special relationship with her, I have been friends with him for more than ten years, so why do you want to monopolize him as soon as you come? The friendship between us is also very long-lasting and strong!

Love, this wonderful word, is something she can't understand for the time being.

Audrey probably doesn't know that love is exclusive and exclusive, and even if it is family affection in front of it, it will bravely challenge it...... It will not use time as a bargaining chip for comparison.

Suddenly, she said narrowly:

"Oh?" She lengthened the coda.

"Really? But I haven't heard Glerint talk about you? ”

Carol stiffened and looked at Glerint with a hot face.

Two people here, one to protect love, the other to defend friendship, have launched a confrontation...... Over there, Glerint watched Carol come out, but only gave a simple bow.

He was still thinking about starting a company with Audrey.

Supposedly, he doesn't have much need for money now, but making money is an excitatory factor that can stimulate people's nerves, isn't it? Moreover, there is another layer of significance in this matter, that is, if he focuses his wealth on Beckland, no one will notice that his request for a new fief to fall on the Southern Continent is actually "something else".

Pulling back his thoughts, Glerint looked at Carol's close face, that unnatural expression, and there was an urge to kiss him...... It's a pity that he can't, not only because the occasion is inappropriate, but also because he is just a doppelganger now, and he doesn't want to do his own thing.

"But then again, my 'essence' is actually the body of the 'original owner' Glerint. This...... Shouldn't you be green yourself, right? ”

Somehow, today's Glerint was not very focused, and once again flew to Java, thinking about some nonsense.

Pull back to your thoughts again.

"Ahh

He suddenly spoke:

"That's true, isn't it the beginning of the year, Audrey, you've gone back to East Chestershire? And at that time, I had just met little Amy, and I wasn't sure about the relationship...... Later, I went to the Southern Continent again, and I didn't have a chance to introduce her to you. ”

Tsk, it's so intimate......

Hearing this, Audrey nodded and said thoughtfully:

"I see, that is, you've known each other for less than a year?"

These words are poking at Carol's sore spot, she subconsciously regards Audrey as the biggest potential rival, and no matter how she thinks about it, the most fearful thing is that Audrey knows Gleilynt far better than her, and they are naturally closer.

The lack of contact time is what she considers to be her weakest point.

However, neither of them knew that Glerint's consciousness had "crossed over", and if anything, he had been in contact with Carol for much more time...... As for Audrey, he really hasn't had much contact, it's more based on the love of the "original".

……

The partnership investment was put aside for the time being, and the small talk continued in an orderly manner, until Audrey turned the topic to the mysterious world.
