In front of the main entrance of the Dunerke City Hall is the largest municipal square in Dunerke. On weekdays, it was a good place for children to play and idlers to cool off, but now a blizzard swept through the square, covering the square with a thick layer of snow that was several feet thick except for a passage painstakingly carved out by the handymen sent by the town hall.

The rectangular town square is surrounded by old grey granite buildings that belonged to some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in Dunkerke. Large chambers of commerce, high-end salons, high-end hotels and restaurants, and some ultra-luxurious apartments, etc., can come and go here for both rich and expensive people, and ordinary people can only sit around in the municipal square.

Directly opposite the City Hall is the 'Green Rose Hotel' in Dunerke, which is famous for its luxury. The backstage owner of this hotel is the United Chamber of Commerce of Dunerke, whose headquarters is located on the first floor of the hotel.

At this moment, in one of the highest suites of the Green Rose Hotel, Arthur was reclining on a sofa, squinting at the figures flickering in a water balloon in mid-air - every move of Blackbeard and Lin Qi and his party was revealed in this water balloon.

The pine wood in the fireplace in the suite is crackling, and the room is as warm as spring. In addition to Arthur, there were several other people in the room.

Standing behind the sofa where Arthur was standing was a tall, dark-skinned man wearing a pair of tight leather pants that exposed his upper body. The man was bareheaded, all black, with only two pieces of white in his eyes. This is the indigenous people of the 'Black Spirit Continent' from the southern part of the continent, facing each other from the sea for 2,000 miles.

The big man stood there with knotted muscles like a lion, and his eyes swept keenly over the room except Arthur, like a loyal bodyguard. He carried a huge scimitar with a tusk handle around his waist, and the six-foot-long scimitar was extremely heavy, and it was obviously extremely lethal when wielded.

Opposite the couch where Arthur was lying was a single chair. Sitting on that single chair was an incomparably wonderful young man.

said that he was wonderful, because his appearance was much more handsome and extraordinary than Arthur, and compared with him, the handsome Arthur was like a stone trying to compare beauty with a gem, which was a kind of world-wide difference. Blonde hair, golden eyes, fair skin like milk, delicate and handsome to the extreme, a face that is several points more beautiful than a stunning girl, makes him have a suffocating feminine beauty.

The young man sat there, wearing only a simple black robe, but he seemed to be wearing a full set of emperor's crown clothes, and his whole body seemed to be glowing. He had a thick, large black sheepskin cover on his lap and was watching with interest the movements of Blackbeard and Lin Qi in the water balloon.

On the sofa on either side of the young man, there were five young people, three men and two women. Two of the three men wore samurai robes, another wore black robes, and two young girls, apparently twins, wore red robes.

Although the two girls were born beautiful, their faces were stern and cold like icebergs, and they couldn't get close. On their left breasts, there were two palm-sized coats of arms—encased in flames, with a crown of Holy Cross hanging over them.

This is the hallmark of the high clergy of the Cardinal Hall of the Church, and the clergy who are qualified to wear this red robe have a high status in the Church, and when they walk outside, their status and power are directly equal to that of the bishop of a certain diocese.

Arthur's gaze swept over the faces of the two girls from time to time, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, feeling sorry for these two stunning girls, and the stunning girls who were twin sisters, were such iceberg beauties. What a wonderful two beauties, so young, they are actually high-ranking clergy in the cardinal hall of the church, what a waste of their talents.

Sighing in his heart, Arthur straightened up lazily, pointed to Lin Qi in the water balloon and said coldly: "Dear Lord Elham, this is Lin Qi, the only son of my adoptive father, an out-and-out villain, a complete little thug. ”

The black-clothed young man who seemed to be shining all over his body, and his majesty made people dare not approach him, nodded slowly, and he said in a low voice: "Your adoptive father is very interesting, he is actually a heavenly knight. The guards around him were all knights of peak status. Well, I'm getting more and more interested in the terms of cooperation you have proposed. ”

Tilting his head thoughtfully, Elham chuckled, "Your adoptive father is plotting the position of mayor of Dunker?"

Arthur said mockingly: "In the future, he is likely to have the position of provincial administrator, that is, he wants to become the feudal lord of the empire." And with the wealth he has at his disposal, if nothing else, he has a good chance of succeeding. ”

Elham's interest was clearly aroused, and he smiled and said, "Oh? If your adoptive father becomes the governor of a province, if he can stay in that position for a few more years, and then something suddenly happens to him because of an accident, and your titular brother Lin Qi suddenly disappears, you can inherit his family fortune and his power, right?"

Arthur frowned, he shook his head and said, "Lin Qike is missing, but my adoptive father must admit that he is good to me, so I don't want him to have any accidents." It's one thing after another, I want to get my adoptive father's huge wealth, but I don't want to hurt him!"

Elham sighed softly, he glanced at Arthur with pity, shook his head slightly, and said, "This is the most boring emotion of you sinners. But I respect your choice, and since we are partners, then I respect your choice, and I will use my power to do my best to help you fulfill your wishes. ”

Arthur said cautiously: "Your Excellency Elham, this kind of cooperation is of great benefit to you and me, isn't it? you help me get what I want, and after I get that qiē, I will naturally become the most devout believer, and I think my strength will also be useful to you." ”

Smiling reservedly, Al Hamm bowed his head and said, "Yes, I have come to the Gallic Empire to expand the power of the Church on the orders of His Majesty, and I do need the help of people like you. So, let's be sure, Lin Qi will do his best to disappear, and according to your wishes, he will do his best to disappear. And your adoptive father, let him be the mayor of Dunerke and the governor of Yassen Province!"

Arthur rubbed his hands excitedly, he picked up a bottle of sparkling wine, smiled and asked Elham, "So, shall we have a drink?"

Elham nodded indifferently: "In the primitive doctrine, alcohol, an item that can make mental power lose control, is one of the original sins...... Drinking is an unforgivable felony for those old fellows. However, we are different, times have changed, and we must also keep pace with the times!"

Pursing his lips and smiling, Al Hamm bowed his head and said, "Let's have a drink, I prefer a soft wine!"

There was a 'ding' sound, and several wine glasses touched lightly.

Elham's faint voice sounded: "Ya, Ling, go and test that Lin Qi." ”

Dinner went, and after the meal continued to code!
