Overmatch...... Hearing Speaker Benito say this, Sinampei just pursed his lips disdainfully, he is not a guy without self-knowledge, he is different from those leaders with strong personality and natural ability to attract everyone's attention and geniuses who can make everyone feel ashamed.

Although as a traverser, this point seems a little unreasonable, but Sinan Pei's heart is very bright.

The most important thing is that he can't speak the "strong language", bastard! Throwing the messy thoughts out of his mind, Sinampe continued to talk to Speaker Benito.

"You mean to say that if Miss Auvergne and I show a little weakness, you'll be on the opposite side of us right now?" said Sinampe, raising an eyebrow.

This guy is completely different from Varangi. Maybe Varangi saw his technical ability after going to Capet and hoped to benefit from it, but what did Benito fantasize? He didn't believe that just relying on his "tiger body shock" could have any deterrent effect, and what he and Theresa did after coming to Leland City was not very clever, just because of the soldiers that they were able to suppress Leland.

No, it's not. Si Nanpei frowned, and after carefully looking at the guy in front of him, Si Nanpei felt that he might just be looking for a step down for his submission.

"You're still afraid of the church, right?" Before coming to Lelan City, Sinan Pei had made a lot of preparations in Roman City, and of course, in order to achieve his own goals, the church also took the initiative to provide him with a lot of information and support.

For example, the handle of Speaker Benito in front of him.

Although Lelan City can't be compared with Genova and Adria in any way, it is the head merchant of Lelan City. The dirty things that are done behind the scenes don't have to be few of those guys at all.

What kind of smuggling and human trafficking can be regarded as a legal business by default, and it is not uncommon for more excessive weapons and military intelligence to be bought and sold, for the sake of money. It is not uncommon to sell to the enemy what is important to one's own side.

This era is like this, who is cleaner than whom!

In the case of Benito, the Church had the handle on his human trafficking with Selman.

Benito was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Sinampe to say such a thing. Under normal circumstances, isn't it true that everyone tacitly keeps their mouths shut about it? It's not good for anyone to say it......

"As a faithful believer, of course I have to do my best for His Majesty's commands. Benito shook his head.

Sinan Pei sighed secretly. It's a hassle to deal with these old fritters.

Who said that only the Celestial Empire is so "hypocritical"?!

But...... His Majesty's attention to Lelan City was beyond Sinanpei's expectations.

Since he made such a statement, and implied that the Pope was also standing behind him, Sinampei felt uncomfortable for no reason.

No doubt. Benito is a representative of the local forces, if you can't get rid of him, or limit his influence, then. He and Theresa's rule over the city was never secure. And after listening to Benito's words. Sinampei was also worried about the Pope's intentions. Clearly, the Pope may not be as involved in the affairs of Le Lan as he promised at Roman. Clearly, the Pope may not want more than a shield against the Emperor.

He wanted something else. For example, the economic benefits brought by direct intervention in Leland. Even if the Pope himself has no idea about this, but he is not allowed to use any crooked brains of the cardinals under him, those clergy are not saints, and the inferiority of mortals is just as good as in them, and even more obvious because of power.

Sinan Pei has already regarded Lelan City as his private property, and he categorically does not allow others to interfere. Although in Roman City, he was reluctant to come here. But when he came here, he was unwilling to let go. That's what it's like to be a city host. Very good.

He didn't know if the other time-travelers felt this way, but after he had tasted what it was like to be a nobleman, he was no longer willing to be a commoner like he had in the past, no matter how high the honor, status, and wealth of this commoner was.

It's a feeling that's hard to put into words.

"Mr. Benito, if you really want to be trusted by me, then, give me up some miscellaneous fantasies, and want to have a place in the future Lelan City, then obediently and honestly become a businessman, and don't get involved in other things, do you understand?" Sinampe stared straight into Benito's eyes: "Didn't you just say that I am a strong man?"

"Yes, so you must not show the slightest sign of weakness, whether it is before the Pope or the Emperor. Benito was not in a hurry at all, he smiled slightly, "Mr. Si, I ......"

"Okay, stop this nourishment talk, and just tell me what kind of information you've gotten and what the councillors are planning. Sinampei deliberately made a tired look, "Finally, what price are you going to sell those councillors?"

"What about the parliamentarians...... Trying to get the city to be incorporated into Jenova. Benito said slowly.

"Merge?" Si Nanpei frowned, "You mean merger in the literal sense?"

This is no joke, in some respects the overly mature Saranyi region, this is quite a complicated matter, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the citizens of Lelan, who are particularly civic-minded, will never lightly admit that the autonomy of the city has been violated, even if they invite back an autocratic aristocrat to govern, they will not be willing to lose the autonomy of the city.

"Not literally, of course, but it's pretty much it. Benito spoke unhurriedly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and that he was just a bystander, "The councillors who can't bear it are ready to use Jenova's soldiers to expel you and the countess from the city, and then sign a series of treaties of alliance with Jenova on defense, economy, and politics. ”

"Alliance Treaty?" asked Sinampei.

"That's right, the alliance treaty, but you should know pretty well who is the leader of this alliance. Benito laughed.

Really...... This Lelan City is a quagmire! It is exactly the same as I predicted!

But...... Now that she has taken over the reins of the city, is there any reason to give her up? (To be continued......
