Chapter 187 Ready to go
Siegfried's appearance successfully diverted Owen's attention. No matter how jealous his heart was, the business couldn't be delayed.
The two followed Siegfried to the conference room, and as the last force to arrive, they were surrounded by enthusiastic crowds.
Julian had a smile on his lips, with a calm expression, while Owen kept a cold face, and his aura of a sky knight was undisguised, which shocked everyone.
As I said before, the sky knights are not Chinese cabbages that can be seen everywhere. Before they came, they knew about the various forces in Alisa City. Now that there is an extra sky knight, they can't help but pay attention to it.
not to mention……
Everyone looked at Julian solemnly. These people present were all powerful people. It was natural to see that Julian had no energy fluctuations in his body and was just an ordinary person.
But the question is... is an ordinary person qualified to enter here?
Everyone deeply doubted Julian's identity, but no one asked. They believed that Alva would give them an explanation.
Alva, who was sitting at the top, saw that everyone was here, and tapped on the table lightly: "Since everyone is here, let's start."
Monica, a businesswoman representing the Rose Chamber of Commerce, smiled before saying anything: "It's time to start, after all... everyone is in a hurry, right?"
Lieutenant General Black, who was sitting next to her and representing the interests of the army, said a little impatiently: "Hurry up, if you take it too long, there will be more people to share the pie!"
Alva laughed: "Since everyone is in such a hurry, then I won't talk nonsense." He looked around, "Everyone here is very clear about the value of a brand new plane channel, I believe you are getting the news After that, we must rush here as quickly as possible.”
He chuckled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you must have been thinking about how to suppress the various forces in Alisa City when you came here, but we have given you a surprise." He said meaningfully After looking around, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Black, who was more irritable, frowned: "I said, Alva, you don't have any fun doing this. Everyone knows what's going on this time. I don't believe you won't be tempted by such a huge benefit."
Monica also laughed when she heard the words, and said softly: "Since everyone has come to this ball, I think our meaning is very clear. The division of interests is necessary. Since you have If you have a share of this ability, no one will push you away."
Her implication is that if you Alisa City is not up to date, then you can't blame us for grabbing your interests.
Alva wasn’t angry either. The reason why he said this was not to make everyone present feel guilty and withdraw from this competition. In fact, these people can become representatives of one side’s forces, and they will not lack thick skin if they lack anything. .
What to do with face when competing for interests?Money is enough!
Prince Charles disliked this kind of meaningless verbal confrontation the most. He frowned and looked at Alva, with the words written on his face: If you continue to talk nonsense, I will leave.
The corner of Alva's mouth twitched. If you say that an old fox like him, what he dislikes the most is dealing with people like Prince Charles, because the other party can always directly flip the table when you think you have the upper hand...
Yes, it's that unreasonable.
Faced with this silent threat, Alva resolutely gave up his previous plan, and completed the discussion simply and efficiently. In order to compete for interests, regardless of whether the personalities of these power representatives are calm or hot, everyone will fight hard. Try to get more share for yourself.
Because Alisa City occupies a geographical advantage, and they also initially explored the water elemental plane during the rush of other forces, so they occupy the largest share.
Of course, they have also paid a lot for this. For example, after entering the elemental plane of water, the navy must provide suitable means of transportation. After all, the elemental plane of water is a vast ocean. convenient.
In addition, because Alisa City joined this competition as a whole, they also need to allocate their own quotas. Before this, they had a discussion before and finally decided that the representatives of Alisa City are , Siegfried representing the Navy, Willie (Black Robe Bishop) representing the Church of the Mother Earth, Owen and Julian representing the Church of the Holy Light, and Eggs Vanner representing other small forces in the city.
Such a lineup is also the product of various compromises by various forces. Among them, Julian's quota is still slightly controversial, and in the end it was Alva who made the final decision.
Firstly, Julian is a good friend of Owen, and a friend of a sky knight is eligible to receive preferential treatment. Secondly, he once provided excellent advice to the Navy. Alva also took this opportunity to repay a favor. Thirdly, he There is a boat in hand.
In fact, this last point is the key point, but Alva is very cunning and didn't reveal it.
Siegfried had once set foot on the Crimson, and with his keen perception, although he didn't immediately guess that the Crimson was a ghost ship, he could feel that there was something strange about this ship.
Going to the Elemental Plane of Water, what could be more important than a good boat?
That's why Julian can appear here with Owen today, but his identity as the captain of the ship is relatively unknown. Those people either think he is unpredictable, or treat him as an inconspicuous little person.
Everyone happily reached an agreement, and then they all returned to their residences to prepare the things they needed for the next day's trip.
Lieutenant General Black has a very reasonable saying, the longer it takes to explore the plane channel, the easier it is to attract more people to covet it.
These forces were the first to get the news and moved the fastest, so they could arrive here in a very short period of time. As long as they successfully explored that plane and completely completed the division of interests, then other forces would like to participate. These people Will naturally form an alliance to fight their common enemy.
But for now, they are all competitors for this exploration, so it is necessary to speed up and settle things down.
Everyone understands the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast, so the next morning, everyone gathered in the City Lord's Mansion again. Because of the danger and uncertainty of the water elemental plane, these people did not bring too many people with them. There are only three or four masters in the forces.
Then they followed Siegfried to the navy's port. There were three large ships moored in the port, two of which were standard warships of the navy. Although the remaining one was smaller than a warship, it had smooth lines and a Bright and clean, it looks like a good boat.
Everyone boarded the ship in batches, and Julian, as the owner of the ship, naturally boarded his own Crimson.
Several other people in Alisa City also boarded the Crimson quite calmly, as if they were not worried about their own safety.
Among the people who came out with them this time, only Eggs Vanner was relatively unfamiliar, and the other two were acquaintances no matter what.
Needless to say, Siegfried, the archbishop Willy once met them in old Kevin's tavern. At that time, his face was red and his mouth was flying, and he was bragging with his drinking buddies at the same table. Later, the two met again outside the Mother Earth Church. At that time, Willie was watching a devout believer leave. When he saw Julian, he showed him an extremely holy smile.
At that time, Julian was stunned. He never expected that the old alcoholic in the tavern would turn into a bishop exuding a scorching light...
"Son, the Lord will bless you." Old Bishop Willie said very lovingly, pretending as if the two had never met.
But Julian clearly saw a bit of banter from his eyes, and helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth: "Sorry, Your Excellency, I believe in the Goddess of Holy Light."
Willie smiled politely and gracefully, and then returned to the Church of the Mother Earth with a calm gait, leaving Julian standing still in a mess in the wind.
"Son, we meet again." Willie's face showed appropriate surprise, as if he was really just an archbishop who accidentally met Julian.
The corner of Julian's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the archbishop was really a showman.
"His Excellency knows Julian?" Eggers is a man with a mustache. He seems to be very interested in Julian. Although it is the first time today, he has been trying to talk to him.
Julian didn't have a good impression of this person. He could be sent by Kent Vanner as a representative. He would definitely not be a useless dude, but he didn't like the look in this person's eyes. When the two met for the first time, The hunter's surprise at seeing the prey was hidden in the man's eyes, and it was this kind of gaze that made Julian extremely unhappy.
Not to mention Owen's attitude, if even Julian felt this person's malicious intentions, then Owen would only be more sensitive.
He has only one attitude towards those who covet Julian, that is to kill him as soon as possible, so he keeps staring at him with that kind of unfriendly eyes, which makes Eggers very nervous.
"I met him by chance before, outside the Church of the Mother of the Earth." Willie did not hide the "first encounter" between the two, and said the extremely misleading content with a smile.
Eggers was really pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Julian is also a believer in Mother Earth?"
Julian said blankly: "No, I believe in the Goddess of Holy Light."
Eggers froze for a moment, and asked almost reflexively: "Who is the Goddess of Holy Light?"
Julian & Owen: ...
Siegfried almost laughed out loud. Even if the Church of the Holy Light had a bad time in Alisa City, it wouldn't be so insignificant, right?
Eggers also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and laughed twice: "Sorry, I was rude."
"It's okay. The Church of the Goddess is weak here. It's normal for you not to know." Owen said in a calm tone, but the corners of Eggers' mouth twitched.
He secretly slandered, a great god like you is standing right here, who would dare to say that the Church of the Goddess is weak...
He also just realized that this seventh-level sky knight is here representing the Church of the Holy Light. In fact, if Owen is not too strong to be ignored, it is impossible for such a small force as the Church of the Holy Light. Appearing here, it's no wonder Eggers didn't react.
After everyone boarded the warship, Siegfried, as the head of the navy, stood at the bow of the ship and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The three warships left the port slowly, and the Crimson took the lead, raised its sails, and ran in the forefront.
Owen Diary:
Why are there always some blind people coveting my Julian? ? ?
This group of damned, promiscuous nobles should all be hanged!
If you are not happy, you must hug Julian to be happy!
