Chapter 366: Accepting the Commission
The heavens are forcing me, so ......
Unfortunately, Glori is no longer one who gets carried away easily by anger.
After buying the potion, Glori was well prepared. Taking advantage of the darkness, Glori found the widest intersection in the eastern district. Glori knew that if he wanted to enter the "Liquor" inn, he had to avoid people's eyes. If you climb in from the back of the inn, you will be able to take advantage of the darkness of the narrow passage to hide everything.
Climbing over a one-man-tall wall of white rock, Glori saw a figure. The figure was in a guest room, swaying back and forth. Who could that be? Glori approached cautiously, not knowing that the people in the room already knew who it was.
"Standing outside the blue star, you can push the door in. ”
"Who's in the room, and why did you bring me here?"
Glori was a little surprised. A person who has not yet met actually knows who he is. The person in the room must be a character who is not simple.
"A man who has been sought everywhere by the Rune Church. People like to call me the Minister of Justice of Vilon. The man inside the house replied.
Minister of Justice?
Who else could there be but Javier of the Church of Light?
Still, Glori was cautious. Pushing open the wooden door, Glori saw the gray-haired Javier. Javier, dressed in a black robe with a round neck lined with a revealing blue lining, was standing facing the doorway, with leafy olive branches wrapped around his hands.
Those green leaves, not only verdant, but also clothed in a foggy magical cloak.
It was a force of nature, a magic that was extremely rare among the human race.
Glori knows to be polite. Moreover, Glori hears that Javier shouldn't just be a high-level magician. It is rumored that Javier never participated in any fights, and no one knew Javier's true strength. It is also rumored that the knights of the Church of Light have been taught by Javier.
In other words, if the rumors are true, then Javier is the one who combines magic and swordsmanship. It's just that taking into account both magic and swordsmanship is no longer something to be curious about. Glori was curious, and no matter how much he observed, he couldn't believe that Javier was over a hundred years old.
Aside from his white-haired shawl, Javier's appearance was a little more youthful than that of the older people Glorry had seen. Whether you open your mouth to speak or smile, only a few wrinkles at the corners of your eyes appear. Even, Javier can be described as a permanent look. Or rather, there was a middle-aged man with natural silver hair standing in front of him.
Sensing that Glori was stunned, Javier tilted his head.
"What are you looking at? What you're curious about shouldn't be asking why I'm being brought here. Instead, you have to ask me what I need you to do. Javier spoke with an imposing voice, almost impersonal. No greetings, no kind words.
"So, Lord Javier, what do you want me to do for you?"
Glori didn't piggyback on the door, and bowed directly to Lord Javier. Glori understood that it was impossible for a high-ranking Minister of Justice to embarrass a young man. In particular, Javier was a supporter of King Velen's wishes and a man who loved his people.
"Blue Star, you know the Rune Church is looking for me, right? What we're going to talk about isn't this kind of narrow-minded thing where you get into trouble with me and I get in trouble with him. Now, what I want you to do is something that is not too big, not too small. So, do you know the Sunflower Salt Farm?"
"Sunflower Salt Farm?"
Glori was really unfamiliar with the salt works.
Glori knew that the production and trade of salt had an impact not only on people's lives, but also on the kingdom. Without salt, people would be sick and would not have the strength to work, and there would be no way to obey the king's will to fight and defend their homeland.
Even the Revival Corps has a headache because of the salt thing. While Auraya was commanding the Revival Legion, Glori learned that the Returnees had taken on some of the responsibility of transporting salt. Andrew, on the other hand, is one of the managers.
So, what about the sunflower salt field that Javier is talking about?
In the kingdom of Alex, there are large and small salt pans, most of which are located east of Coral Harbor and Emerald City. However, there are also places where salt is obtained by boiling salt, such as the salt farm that Lord Javier just mentioned. The Sunflower Salt Farm, located to the east of the City of Honor and west of the Sunflower Dam, uses brine wells to produce salt.
The Sunflower Salt Farm, originally founded in the Kingdom of Norton. Since there are interests, there are naturally groups that benefit. Although the Flore family was born in the city of knights, it has spread to the city of honor due to the multiplication of the huge family chain. As a result, there is the current sunflower salt farm. Tsinghua
And Glori, I've only heard a little about the Sunflower Salt Farm. After all, commerce is not something that Glori is interested in. Obviously, Glori knew that Lord Javier had brought him here for some business.
As Lord Javier said, Glori asked, "Lord Javier, what do you want me to do?"
"Of course, I'm asking you to make a real deal. Javier deliberately hung his appetite. With a hint of a smile, Javier sat down in the back chair after seeing Glori's wonder.
"Buying and selling?" Glori wondered.
"Do you know what? The current Sunflower Salt Farm is managed by the Rune Church in the name of the Flore family. In other words, the Flore family has an interest in the Church of Rune. As you know, the Church of Rune's has been haunting a lot lately, mostly against people who support King Velon's wishes, as a way to flatter the King of Order. However, the Rune Church has forgotten the importance of the Salt Farm to the Demon Dragon Empire. The Sunflower Salt Farm is not a small workshop. In fact, the salt production of the sunflower salt field is higher than that of some salt pans, especially in the inland. Javier gave an explanation.
"You mean that you want the Rune Church to be held accountable by the Flore family for the Sunflower Salt Farm, so that the Rune Church can pay more attention to the Sunflower Salt Farm and thus pay less attention to other aspects?"
Perhaps, Javier asked me to do things just to interfere with the material support of the Empire. Glori, still thinking.
Seeing Glori's confusion, Javier was a little unhappy. Although Javier doesn't like to be guessed what is in his mind, Javier understands that there is a certain reason why Blue Star is valued by Bard. Since Bud and Xavier both want to lift up the blue star, why don't they push the boat?
The kingdom of Alex needs decent bravery.
If you want the blue star to stand, you have to let the blue star have the ability to sit on an equal footing with the nobility. After all, most of the people who have the strength to save Alex's kingdom are nobles of the kingdom. If you want the nobles to be obedient, you have to make the blue star have enough reputation. Even, I have to arrange something for Blue Star to do. Otherwise, let the blue stars wander around in the vast sea of people, I don't know how many detours I will take!
Oh, do you really want to help the blue stars as commoners? Moreover, in this city crowded with nobles?
However, what do you have to gain from yourself? Javier paused. And, it took him about ten seconds to look at Glori again.
Blue Star, born in a commoner's home, or in an inconspicuous small village. Well, the blue star mentioned in the hearing is barely passable, because a young man doesn't like the road of official career, and he doesn't like to be close to anyone. However, it was the civilian in front of him, whose eyes flashed with the light that people were seeking.
At the same time, Javier already knew about Kenneth "Snow Lord" who wanted to be Glorry's mentor and was rejected in person. In Javier's opinion, Glori, who is a blue star, borders on paranoia in some ways.
Perhaps, it's time for the blue star to transform in some ways. Perhaps, it should have contributed to Kenneth's desire to become Glori's mentor. Javier weighed up: perhaps, the only thing that would make him profitable was to be the one who offered a favor to Glori.
Of course, Javier still had something to do with being a Bishop of Light. He thought to himself that if he could get Glori to do the Sunflower Salt Works, he would definitely give the Church of Light a respite. At the very least, Javier won't be tormented by the death of the Knights of Light.
Whether it was because of selfishness or the benefit of the kingdom that he found the blue star, Javier was a little confused. However, Javier knew that the background of the Church of Runeterris was too deep.
Javier vividly remembered that the loyal Knights of Light who had fallen into Noah's jungle had lost their lives in a dark fire that fell from the sky. At that time, Javier also picked up a pendant with the word "fire" in the woods. Does anyone in the Church of Runeteres use dark magic?
If you want to deal with dark magic, you need divine power, and even divine power. Javier knew where Glori was coming from and what he wanted to run towards.
A person who yearns for the light naturally wants to drive away the darkness! Look, what a desirable thing. With regret in his heart, Javier could only nod inexplicably.
As the minister in charge of legal affairs, Javier actually had a soft face, and Glori's seeing was believing, which can be regarded as confirming what he heard - Lord Javier is not an impersonal person, and sometimes, Lord Javier will be like the overlord Velon, who is fierce on the surface, but gentle in private.
But what about the Sunflower Salt Farm?
Glori was waiting for Lord Javier's arrangement. Glory smiled politely and urged, "Your Excellency, you can't be so dazed. Because, I still have to find someone, right in the City of Honor. ”
"Indeed, it can be as you say. However, things are a little more complicated than you think. Perhaps, someone may have reminded you. If you offend the Rune Church, you will arouse the hatred of some people. In short, I asked you to come, not just to ask you to help, but also to let you see the situation clearly. ”
The implication of the words is that Javier is compensating for Glori's efforts.
Then, Javiersey gave Glori a note. "You've got to find the girl who knocked you down, because she knows everything. As for the person you're looking for, who's that?"
"I'd like to know the whereabouts of a man from the outposts of the Resistance Legion. ”
Glori was cautious and didn't say it straight. But after looking at each other just now, Glori felt more and more that Lord Javier's pale blue eyes were bottomless. Moreover, Glori remembers Lord Bard's comment about Lord Javier, who is a man who likes to see the decisions of the situation.
