"Come in!"

The Archbishop and Fox had thought that the Beacon Federation staff had something to do with them.

But to the great surprise of the two, the person who pushed the door in turned out to be the protagonist of their topic, the stumbling block-like spoiler - [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor.

Fox suddenly changed his face, tried to suppress the killing intent in his eyes, and scolded coldly:

"What are you doing here? Mr. Byron, this is a private party, you are not welcome, please go out. ”

Byron didn't pay any attention to him, walked straight to the archbishop and stood still, and gracefully stroked his chest and saluted, making people feel like a spring:

"Your Excellency, I found a purse outside the door, and when I saw that your name was written on it, I hastened to bring it to you.

Please check to see if anything is missing. ”

As he spoke, he respectfully delivered a delicate deerskin wallet to the other party's hand.

"Wallet? My real body is still in St. Peter's Cathedral in the Old World, how could I possibly leave my wallet here? ”

You must know that this is the [Level 0 Holy Relic - Faros Lighthouse], except for a limited number of administrators and councilors, no one else has the permission to bring in the physical object.

But it really has the name "Barbertilla" written on it.

The archbishop's face was full of doubt, and he subconsciously reached out and took it and opened it.

There was not even a single copper plate with the smallest face value in this wallet, only a single blank piece of paper.

Just when he thought that he had been fooled by the young man in front of him, he unexpectedly saw a few lines of noble characters with beautiful fonts on the white paper.

"Spices of the highest quality: twenty kilograms.

Raw ore dog's head gold: 3,000 pounds.

Ink Tree Plantation on the island of Yucatán (title deed): 1,500 acres"

Judging by the format, this is clearly a very valuable Bantaan Islands "local specialty" gift list!

"This"

The archbishop's heartbeat was imperceptibly faster.

Not every of the 98 cardinal archbishops of the Cardinal Order of the Church is a true fifth-order legend with a high eye.

Rather, like many kingdoms, it was only by virtue of a bishopric precept and the Church's low-level authority in the legal system that it was able to match the Fifth Order.

The precepts belong to the church, not to a particular family.

Once he leaves office in the future, his family will still be at best just a small family in the middle sequence that is not too inconspicuous on the mainland.

This wealth is already a lot of money for him.

Byron looked at Barbertilla's face, smiled and continued to confirm:

"Your Excellency, this is indeed the wallet you just lost, right? There's so much stuff in your wallet that I don't see you have a waiter with you.

The staff of the Federation has been entrusted with the help of the lighthouse network to expedite the delivery of everything to your home.

I think when the meeting is over, you'll be able to see this lost collection of belongings when you get home.

Congratulations, Your Excellency, Archbishop.

It is the blessing of the Lord that allows you to go out on business for a noble cause without suffering property losses in vain. ”

The archbishop suddenly felt a little hot in the room, unconsciously pulled his neckline, looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and stammered slightly:

"The last line on this, do I still have two merchant ships in my lost wallet?

Is it the kind of merchant ship that I understand to be tall and large, with a displacement of at least a few hundred tons? ”

Syllable!

Byron clapped his hands:

"Isn't it? If you don't say that the archbishop is the archbishop, you describe it exactly as two galleons with a displacement of three hundred tons.

We just picked up these two merchant ships, and I don't think it's convenient for you to bring them back with you.

It just so happens that our Westwind Express has been running out of ships lately.

Why don't you just invest in Westwind Express as the owner of these two merchant ships?

Regular dividends on the first day of every month, I promise that it will never fall below this number"

Byron smiled and gestured with three fingers.

The cardinal archbishop couldn't help but have his eyes shining, so he naturally stuffed his wallet into his arms and tapped it four times in a row on his chest:

"Ahem, the Ten Commandments of Man and God say, Thou shalt not steal, but thou shalt give him what he deserves; Do not covet, but believe that the Lord has given you riches.

Thou shalt not bear false witness, but thou shalt speak the truth.

Mr. Byron, that's not wrong at all, that's what I dropped my wallet.

You are truly a gentleman of good character, and I am confident that the Lord will always favor those of high moral character like you. ”

Looking at Byron with great satisfaction, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.

Every look in his eyes seems to say: young people can do things, and your road is getting wider and wider.

Moreover, every word and deed from the beginning of entering the door is full of elegant and sophisticated aristocratic demeanor.

If it weren't for the fact that the desks of countless big names in the Bantaan Islands now have more "life" of this sea hunter, I am afraid that they would suspect that this is a carefully cultivated noble child.

It's much better than the current governor of Havana, Fox, who was born as an army officer and can only go straight.

Young people have a future.

Obviously, at this time, Byron had already met the aristocratic demeanor required by the [Ritual Blood Feast Holy Grail], and it was far beyond the standard.

The cardinal archbishop stood up and patted Byron on the shoulder, there was still a trace of murderous intent on his body that was ready to remove the stumbling block, and his face was amiable:

"Mr. Byron is clearly a man of great wisdom and a knack for doing things, and it is a blessing for Edward IV to have you in charge of the colonies.

Unlike some idiots who will only cause chaos in the Pontifical Church.

I'm sure you'll make everyone happy and make this work a great deal. I guess you two have something to say, so I won't bother. ”

After speaking, with a warning in his eyes, he glanced meaningfully at Fox Ville, the governor of Havana, beside him, and turned his head away.

That glance is undoubtedly the following:

"Look at these two people are both governors, but how can there be such a big difference in human beings?

The bishop is very happy that Byron can collect gold, but if anyone dares to hinder him from continuing to 'collect money' in the future, the bishop is very unhappy. ”

Not only can you accomplish the tasks explained above, but you can also make a lot of money, and you haven't made any mistakes in principle, so why not do it?

This is the real errand, comfortable!

Byron bowed slightly behind his back and reassured:

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I am the one who knows the rules best, and I will never cause trouble to the Excellency of the Cardinals, and I promise to satisfy you."

just silently added another sentence in my heart:

I hope you will please me in the future. ’

With the [First Class Relic First Stock] in his hand, every penny he bribed now could be converted into shares in the Holy Child's Society, a traditional sect to which the archbishop belonged.

When the time comes to fish for Daddy, a rope around the archbishop's neck is indispensable.

Nor did Byron expect to one day take more than 50 percent of his shares to "buy" the traditionalism of the church that had accumulated for thousands of years.

I only hope that in the future, when I use them up and break up again, I can recover my current investment.

Using the "sell" ability of stocks, it is completely satisfying to extract a treasure or supernatural ability of sufficient value from them.

Whoever loses money anyway, he won't lose money, as for the various "fruits" that are generated in the middle when they are deposited in their hands? Commonly known as: white prostitution.

It wasn't until the archbishop walked out of the room that a stunned Fawkes couldn't close his mouth.

"This is a stumbling block that prevents us from completing our mission, how can you come back, Bishop, so unprincipledly surrender to the enemy?

Moreover, can you really give a gift like this? ”

If Byron's fourth-order record of killing is three floors higher than him, then his gift-giving ability is at least thirty floors higher than him.

This guy really deserves to be a governor before he is twenty years old!

Then, he saw that the hateful fellow turned his head to look at him, and his handsome face was a little full of malice, and he slowly spoke:

"Governor Fawkes, it's time to talk about our business next."

Feeling the oppression on Byron's body, he subconsciously took a half step back and swallowed his saliva:

"What business? What business do I have to talk to you? ”

Byron sat down in the archbishop's place with a big grin, crossed one leg, and looked him up and down as if he were looking at a fat pig to be slaughtered.

It took a while to play with the taste:

"What business? A little bit of your life, of course.

Mingren doesn't say dark words, and I, the throne with the number one record, can be sold.

Our Pioneer Pilot Military Dispatch Company already has a professional agency service, and it is not entirely impossible to secretly give up some of the merits to Castile.

It depends on whether Mr. Governor is sincere or not.

Anyway, even if the deal doesn't work out, I'll lose some money at most, and Mr. Governor, who fails his mission, may lose more than just a small life of his own. ”

The current strength of Byron and the Hattings Kingdom does not need the "right to protect the church", and even if they get the first place, it is a decoration.

All he needed now was an "immunity" to exclude outside interference, and by the way, he would be able to remove the word "acting governor" as an agent.

The extra merit might as well be exchanged for more benefits.

Fox's heart was over.

Needless to say, Byron also knew that he would not be happy in the future.

Especially when he suddenly lost the backer of Archbishop Barbertilla, the method that he was not able to do in the first place became a dream bubble.

The other party's knife was clearly on his neck.

But he still stiffened his neck and said loudly:

"We Castilians never compromise, we will only take back what we want, you are insulting my bravery and loyalty!

I will never sell the interests of the kingdom in exchange for any substitute service.

Even if I, Fawkes, were to die in battle, even if I broke the record for the shortest tenure of the governor and became a disgrace to a soldier, I would not be able to give you money to fight on your behalf! ”

Then he looked at the closed door with some humility, and made sure that there was no one outside, and then he stepped forward and took two steps, and an old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and pleaded in a low voice:

"So what can be a little cheaper?

I've just taken office, and I haven't had time to fish yet. ”

Byron just handed him another note.

The contents of this quotation are almost exactly the same as the gift sheet of the "souvenir", only the quantity has tripled!

There is also an additional one:

"Within a month, 20 lighthouse sequence craftsmen were delivered, as well as all their family members.

and 10 percent of the country's annual population on the move. ”

"Hiss——!"

Fawkes gasped at Byron's appetite.

Although he knew very well that signing this thing was equivalent to tying a noose around his neck, and sooner or later he would strangle himself to death little by little.

But it's better to die later than to die early.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and signed his name on it.

Everyone was happy.

Byron patted him on the shoulder:

"Wise choice, happy to work with!"

This overseas is not only a fight and killing, but also a sophisticated human relationship.

It's a pity that this favor is Byron's, but it is Fox who pays the bill.

But who let him and the rest of the thugs lose?

What you can't get on the battlefield, you won't get at the negotiating table.

Since Byron is willing to show mercy and give him a chance, how can he do it without paying a price?

The man who killed him, took his money, and finally he had to thank Byron for not killing him, and say thank you to Byron.

Although, in the future, it will inevitably be skinned and deboned.

At this point, the dispute between the "bloody plague" and the "right to protect the religion" has been settled in advance.

Small things are held in small meetings, big things are held in small meetings, and especially important things are not held.

The small meeting on the distribution of interests of the three stakeholders has ended, and the rest of the conference naturally has no waves.

Byron also got his wish and became the biggest winner behind the scenes.
