Chapter 139: Not Excessively Demanding
Terra Calendar 1590.6.19.
Tórshavn, Falow Islands.
Tórshavn is a port city located on the western shore of the northern continent of Terra, on the shores of the magnificent Strait of Tór. It is surrounded by spectacular mountain ranges, backed by dense forests and facing the vast ocean. Geographically, Tórshavn is located in the northwest of the northern continent, near the Polar Circle.
The seaport of Tórshavn is a deep-water port capable of accommodating the docking and loading and unloading of large ships. It is one of the busiest ports on the northern continent, attracting ships and trade groups from all over the world. There are extensive dock areas and warehouse facilities near the port for storing and exchanging a variety of goods and commodities.
The terrain around this port city is varied and magnificent, with mountain cliffs dotted with winding trails and adventurers' footprints. The nearby forests are dense and mysterious, with an enticing aroma of herbs. And the vastness of the ocean, with its abundant fishing grounds and endless secrets.
It is strategically located and connects the inland and maritime trade routes of the northern continent. As a result, this port city has become an important transportation hub and commercial center - the different space of [Financial Street] only appears in the place of financial prosperity, and the largest [Financial Street] different space belongs to the [Financial Capital] of the Imperial State of the Addison Federation.
Woowoo woo –
The whistle sounded in the harbor of Tórshavn, which was wide and busy, and the huge wharf was moored with all kinds of ships, from cargo ships to warships.
The ocean stretches into the distance, and the salty breeze blows across the boat.
The towering towers and imposing walls of Tórshavn stand tall and stand like guardians of this ancient and bustling city.
The streets of the port are bustling with people, vendors shouting all kinds of goods, and flashing neon lights illuminate the night.
In the midst of the crowded harbor, there is a very eye-catching vehicle docked, the body of this car has a streamlined design that is elegant and dynamic, every detail reflects exquisite craftsmanship and high quality, and chrome decorations adorn the bodywork, shining with delicate light.
And next to this gorgeous multi-passenger business car, there is a well-dressed business person.
Ben Gehr was constantly pushing his glasses, and Gehr was rarely nervous as the commissioner of the administrative office of the Tórshavn Chamber of Commerce and Industry, having worked for the association for ten years and had received all kinds of human and non-human creatures.
He has received alliance commissioners from the Central Alliance, dispatches from the Creation and Research Company of the Addison Federation, military architects from the Orettin Empire, arms traders from the Daevite Empire, and in addition to these, he has also received those who are hidden in the world, the ancient law and the anomaly and even the non-human race.
It stands to reason that Ben Geer, who has a rich resume, should not be as anxious about his next work as a newcomer, but when he thinks of the adult he will receive later, Geer's heart can't help but start to beat nervously.
Don't be nervous, isn't it the 346th important foreign partner of the association, the top three foreign partners have also received it themselves, just think this is an ordinary ······
"You're the commissioner sent by the association to receive us?"
Just as Ben Geer was calming his uneasiness, a warm, gentle voice came into his ears, the spoken pronunciation and articulation of the voice was the most soothing he had ever heard, each syllable clear and smooth.
Ben Gele subconsciously turned his head, he was surprised that he was quietly approached behind his back, he was just a [financial card] holder with slightly more abundant assets, and he couldn't compare with traditional thaumaturgists, but he didn't think that the sensitive spirituality cultivated by holding [financial card] for a long time would be approached so easily by an ordinary person.
When Gehr turned around, he saw that there was not one person standing behind him, but four people... plus a rather large dog with white hair and red eyes; The cute little boy of the four was riding on the big dog, and the white-haired dog was wagging his tail excitedly, and his red pupils were showing human curiosity, looking around at everything in the port, and he looked as if he hadn't been walked out for a long time·····
"You're a commissioner from the association, I saw the logo of the association next to the car."
The blonde young man who was the leader of the four spoke again and asked Ben Gehr, and Gehr came back to his senses in an instant, and at the same time he secretly cursed himself in his heart for what was wrong today, always restless, and making some low-level mistakes.
"Yes, I am the Commissioner of the Administrative Office of the Tórshavn Chamber of Commerce and Industry!" Gehr subconsciously raised his voice and replied. At the same time, his gaze began to look at the blonde young man who was leading the way in front of him.
This handsome young man with blonde hair and golden eyes wears a dark top hat on his head, which is gently obliquely worn on his head, his blonde hair is slightly exposed under the brim, and he is wearing a slim-cut mid-length coat, and the dark blue coat adds a mature and steady temperament to him, which complements his figure. Inside he is a white shirt, and against the white shirt, the neat image is highlighted. The dark vest frames his slim figure and adds a touch of layering under the coat.
His lower body is paired with a pair of black trousers, the slim fit perfectly fits his figure, and the pants echo a pair of leather boots, and the dark blue upper complements the overall outfit. Finally, a silk tie is embellished on his shirt, and dark blue stripe detailing adds a sense of sophistication to the ensemble.
Even the well-informed Gehr couldn't find anything wrong with the appearance and outfit of this blonde young man, and the other party's outfit was more artistic than those models in Wudu magazine.
The other party is not the old-fashioned appearance he imagined: wearing a black suit and a cold temperament.
It's hard to imagine that such a gentleman would be an angel of heaven who was offered a bounty of 376 cryptocurrencies (about 10 million Spanish dollars converted to Western dollars) on the dark web.
This angel, who has traveled in Youyang in recent years, has a very bad reputation in various places, especially in the Wudu area.
I heard that the [Greenwich Meteor Day Incident] has a lot to do with this angel, and Farran's [Dragon Plague Incident] also has this angel's involvement, and the recent boiling [Bombardment of Smokeless City] and [Blood Slaughter] are also related to this ·······
"Hugh Abraham."
The blonde youth politely stretched out his right hand, and Gehr immediately retracted his thoughts and stretched out his hands to shake the other party up and down.
"Ben Geer, the consultant of your trip to Tórshavn, the directors of the association have asked me to greet you, thank you for your strong support to the industrial department of the association in recent years for the construction of the Wudu Railway, and the design drawings and financial assistance you provide have helped the Ministry of Industry solve many problems." Gell replied respectfully.
"Everyone is a partner, and a win-win situation should be."
Xia Xiu replied with a smile, and then he looked at the crowded port, and joked at Ben Geer with a smile:
"Isn't it a little too conspicuous for us to stand by a luxury car and talk."
The blonde youth's teasing laughter made Ben Geer react violently to his faux pas, and immediately opened the car door with a sneer, and motioned to the four people and one dog present to get into the car with an embarrassed expression.
Xia Xiu and the others quickly got into the car, and the interior of the sedan did not backstab its extravagant appearance: the spacious and luxurious cabin is upholstered in high-grade leather and exquisite wood veneer, and the comfortable seats provide a variety of adjustment functions to bring passengers the best riding experience. The high-resolution thaumaturgical projection display on the center console integrates a multi-conscious system, equipped with advanced voice control and gesture recognition.
There was no one in the driver's seat of the car, but it started on its own and drove smoothly out of the port.
It is worth noting that this car is an ordinary luxury car in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Xia Xiu and others, it is a hovering car flying off the ground.
"This is a hovercar front-wheel drive product made by Addison." Xia Xiu sat down and looked at it casually for a while, and then asked Ben Geer.
"Yes, this is the latest hovering car product launched by Addison Federal Car Companies, but because of the existence of the "Thaumaturgical Product Control Regulations", this model is equipped with a fraudulent mimatern with an appearance rendering, which can make it a beautiful sedan in the eyes of ordinary people. However, even so, these products have not flowed into the modern market in large quantities, but they have occupied the vehicle market share in the hub area, and now whether it is an individual, a company or a force, they like to use Western cars. ”
Ben Geer said as he cautiously looked at the blonde youth in front of him who had opened the ice chamber inside the hovercar.
The Regulations are the limits of thaumaturgical creations in the Kingdom of Heaven, and anything that is associated with the EVE particle or the Ocean of Aether will always stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Kingdom of Heaven and cause the behemoth's unbelievable emergency response.
Under Gehr's gaze, the blonde youth was taking out a bottle of Qianyi brandy and a few transparent glass wine glasses from the ice room, and then he opened the lid of the wine with familiar movements, and poured out the fine wine inside.
"Thaumaturgy and technology work together to empower life and liberate human beings from productive labor." Xia Xiu put a glass of wine in front of Ben Geer with a sighing expression.
"Labor, it is the killer of art, poetry, creation. Humanity, my fellow citizens, cannot touch the true poetic life if they are not liberated from it—these are the exact words of the President of the Edison Federal Art Society, and he has indeed made many efforts in this regard. ”
"What a great idealist, no wonder the Addison Federation is known as the dream country of Terra, both for aliens and humans."
The blonde young man took a sip of the wine glass to his lips, while Ben Geer was stunned and picked up the wine glass handed over by the other party, holding the wine glass firmly in both hands, turning it unconsciously.
From the moment he saw the blond young man, Gehr felt a strong and unusual sense of awkwardness, and when he held the wine glass, he understood what this awkwardness was—the young man in front of him seemed to be in charge of everything from the beginning, his gaze was looking at himself, reflecting himself, but he really appeared in his gaze, was he looking at himself?
"Do you also feel that Addison is approaching Oretin and the Daevite, maybe tomorrow when he wakes up, the Federation will be completely turned into a strange state."
Faced with the blonde youth's joking words, Jean Gell subconsciously straightened his back, this topic could not be answered casually.
"Ahaha, how so? Addisi is in a strange state, which is unlikely to come to ·····" Gehr had a far-fetched smile on his face, and the wine in his hand was unconsciously drunk by him.
The basic principle of human communication with human beings: the problem that everyone can see on the surface is that it must not be said from the mouth, and if it is not spoken, it will not exist.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a demon."
Xia Xiu shook his head, a warm smile on his face, as he picked up the bottle and refilled Ben Geer's empty glass.
"You should have come with a mission this time."
The low, magnetic voice of the blond youth fell into the ears of Ben Gehr, who was subconsciously sipping the wine in his glass, and he was immediately choked on the drink.
"Ahem, ahem, you... What do you say? ”
For a moment, Ben Geer instinctively wanted to pull out his [financial card] and release the [Mind Barrier] thaumaturgy stored inside the [position] to shield his heart.
"The directors of the board of directors probably received my telegram the day before yesterday, and after knowing my identity, they must have held a meeting overnight to discuss how to withdraw the stake in the association from me. After all, the roots of the association are in [The Hub, the Isle of France], and if it is discovered that there are angels of heaven among the shareholders of the association, well, you know, our reputation is a little bit of a problem in [The Hub]. ”
Of course, Ben Geer understands that if the news spreads, then many businesses and orders in the association will definitely be yellow, and the situation of the association in the future will be very embarrassing, after all, the people they serve are very clear.
"My equity in the association should be only 3 million West dollars, which is not a large share for the association, a little thicker than mosquito meat."
Xia Xiu leaned his head on the soft cushion of the chair behind him with a comfortable face, and his left thumb and index finger were gently turning the azure ring on his right index finger.
"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't talk about feelings, and I can understand his distress when the association wants to take back my shares. However, understanding is understanding, and business is business. ”
"I can transfer my equity, and accordingly, the association will prepare four bearer [financial cards] for me, and I know that the association can handle it, and at the same time, I need 376 cryptocurrencies as a transfer fee."
The blond young man smiled at Ben Geer, whose face was gradually turning pale and his hands were trembling, and said:
"You see, I'm not asking too much."
