The temperature dropped in Bayam late at night. Rawls had already put on a shirt and tight trousers, and put on a black formal jacket. He also shaved off the uneven stubble with a razor, and combed his slightly longer hair neatly.
, wearing a round felt hat and a pair of frame glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Viscount Fear" Bird Mustang is wearing an Intis-style shirt with complicated patterns on the cuffs and collar, and a dark red captain's uniform. This is Byam, not Backlund. He does not need to cover himself.
The captain, Count Bai Feng, is in this sea area.
After hearing Rawls take the initiative to call him uncle this time, Bird smiled, but then his face became serious:
"Can't you just be your barrister? Why do you have to do things for Philip Negan? Your father has never been involved in politics, let alone help a nobleman handle such a dangerous matter!"
Rawls took off his glasses. They were really not very comfortable for him to wear.
"Uncle Mustang, in Backlund, one must choose between the New Party and the Conservative Party. Even my father would be more biased towards the New Party because he came from Gray Lawyers College. But now that I have offended the New Party, there is no way to just
I can choose the Conservative Party. As for helping Philip, it is to obtain his investment in my law firm."
"invest?"
"Viscount Fear" was stunned for a moment. Law firms are neither an invention nor a company, so why do they need investment?
"There are now nearly fifty barristers and more than seventy solicitors in Adrian Firm. I need to pay them a salary of 1,500 pounds every week. Without Philip's investment, the firm can survive for up to two months before going bankrupt.
Already."
Rawls knows that it is very difficult for Bird Mustang to make excuses. After all, he is the "chaos" mentor of Sequence 5. His sensitivity to the loopholes in speech is instinctive. It may be okay to say something he does not understand.
Make him agree.
"How come there are so many people? Even some medium-sized pirate ships don't have so many people?"
Why did you take the pirate ship as an example? I am doing serious business, not robbery, just as many people as possible... Rawls was a little speechless, no wonder his father chose to become a lawyer, and Bird Mustang became a pirate.
"In order to play the role of a 'savage', I had to find an excuse to expand the size of the firm. Later, more and more people knew about this excuse. I had no choice but to expand the scale, but with limited funds, I could only introduce investment."
"How much did Philip give you?"
"It's not a gift, it's an investment. He invested 80,000 pounds and got 15% of the shares. He also promised to help me introduce clients and let me become a real 'lawyer'."
80,000 pounds? The "Viscount of Fear" was a little staggering. His bounty was only 18,000 pounds. And the "Hell Admiral" Ludwell, the highest among the seven pirate generals, only had 55,000 pounds. This amount of money was not even
Even demigods will be moved.
Bird Mustang sighed and said:
"I now know why Mason chose to become a lawyer. It's enough to use this money to let you investigate Alston Leavitt."
"Philip will definitely not suffer from this investment." Although it will be difficult for Adrian Firm to make a profit in the past few months, it may not be possible until next year. "Now Adrian Firm is the largest lawyer in Backlund.
It’s a matter of time before the company becomes profitable.”
"I don't understand this. If you are short of money, you can come to me."
Bird shook his head and then asked:
"Did you discover anything while riding in that armored fleet this time?"
"The command ship of this fleet is the USS Pulitzer. There are four frigates and five battleships in the fleet. I am aboard a battleship named 'Glorious', and another battleship 'Ravage' are temporary
Incorporated into this fleet. Moreover, these two battleships are not from the same faction as the other ships, and they even have conflicts with the commander, Major General Wilson..."
Next, Rawls eloquently told all the information he had obtained on the "Glory", including the fleet's voyage training plan, the firepower configuration of the "Glory", etc.
When he first told about the factional conflicts among the fleets, the "Dread Viscount" just frowned. When Rawls talked about the voyage plan, the big pirate's face gradually became happy, and he sensed the opportunity.
Although the armored fleet is still training, as the second officer on the "Black Emperor" and in charge of intelligence, Bird Mustang naturally knows that the target of this fleet after training is the "King of the Five Seas". On the contrary,
Those pirate generals might have survived because of the forces behind them.
He also had some knowledge of MI9's operations at sea. He knew that they were pursuing Edward Laitor, the former first officer of the "Black Emperor", and they were already preparing for the final operation.
"Are you sure that the fleet will sail all the way from Tuscat Island to Tiana Port without stopping at the Rhoad Islands in the middle?"
Seeing the joy on Bird's face, Rawls naturally knew what he was planning and replied in a deep voice:
"There should be nothing wrong. The armored fleet of the Pritz is here for long-distance training this time. The distance is very suitable. But I don't know the fleet's detailed sailing plan, so I can't tell when the fleet will arrive at Tiana Port."
Bird Mustang waved his hand and said confidently:
"Of course I sent people to find out about these things. It is not easy to hide a fleet of ten ships."
"The Navy can definitely imagine that there must be powerful Beyonders on the warship."
"That's for sure. There is former Navy Commander-in-Chief Pablo Connelly on board the Pulitzer. He is the cousin of the former King of Loen and the 'Law Master' of Sequence 4."
Rawls opened his mouth. The information on the "King of the Five Seas" has reached this point. He even knows every demigod on the armored ship, but there is also a Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter" on it!
"This is training, and as the Loen Kingdom's first ironclad ship, the Pritz, there is only one demigod on board?"
"Only one demigod?" Bird Mustang glanced at Rawls in surprise and shook his head slightly, "Even in the Loen Navy, there are not so many demigods, but there may be people from MI9 or the royal family.
Demigods. The Earl knows those people very well. The Navy would rather lose a demigod than let the Pulitzer sink, especially since the second ironclad ship has not yet been built."
Rawls found that he had taken it for granted. The "King of the Five Seas" Nast had traversed the sea for more than a hundred years and knew the naval styles of various countries very well, otherwise he would have perished long ago.
"You don't think that the count will lead the Black Emperor to ambush the Pritz outside the port of Tiana, do you?"
"Viscount Fear" sneered, and without waiting for Rawls to reply, he pointed at his feet and said:
"This is Bayam, with Admiral Amyrius Levitt, the highest commander of the navy in the Central Sunian Sea, and 'Sea King' Yan Cotman. They will definitely receive relevant notifications and pay attention to the fleet situation.
It is only three days' voyage from Tiana Port. With the power of 'Sea King', he can arrive at Tiana Port within half an hour. He can even use his ability to interfere with the 'Black Emperor' in the middle.
Or do you think that the Count and we can deal with a demigod-led fleet of ten warships in half an hour? If we could do this, then Your Excellency, the Count, would have established a maritime empire long ago."
Bird Mustang was much more sober than Rawls imagined. On the contrary, he always thought that the "Black Emperor" commanded by Nast, the Sequence 3 "Crazy Mage", could take over naval ships.
In fact, pirates are pirates and can never confront a navy supported by a powerful country, even if he is the emperor of the sea and the "King of the Five Seas" Nast.
"The information you provided is very useful to us. Your Majesty the Earl has also allowed you to use the power of the Black Emperor in the Rhoside Islands. You can go to Old John directly. I have already informed him, and he will help you."
Old John is the person in charge of the Bayam contact point and is currently guarding outside.
Rawls nodded. Nast could even find out a little bit about the internal arrangements of the Loen Navy. Compared to Bayam, there were enough intelligence personnel.
"By the way, you should have finished digesting your 'Barbarian' potion. I have prepared the formula and the main ingredients of the potion for you. You can find the auxiliary materials yourself. After becoming a 'briber', don't try to be promoted.
, then it would be dangerous.”
…
The stone pillars stand in front of you, supporting the high dome, and the mottled and ancient long table seems to have been placed here hundreds or thousands of years ago... Although Audrey Hall has seen this scene many times, but as long as
Arriving above the gray mist, she still felt a feeling of shock slowly echoing from her heart.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw no new members. She immediately looked up and saluted the convener shrouded in thick gray fog:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
While speaking, she suddenly saw a playing card with a complicated and gorgeous pattern on the table to the right of The Fool.
It was placed just like that quietly, casually, like an ordinary object.
This, is this the "blasphemous card"? The "blasphemous card" that hides a path to God! Audrey instantly understood. After the "Fool" nodded in response, she subconsciously took a look at the "Emperor" and "The Hanged Man".
"Sun" and "Magician" glanced at each other and found that they had also noticed the card that did not exist before.
However, Mr. "Emperor" seemed to be a little more excited, but he hid it very well... Well, Mr. "World"'s reaction was a bit strange, he didn't look there at all... Did he hide it too well?
Is he really the nemesis of "audiences and "mind readers"?
Rawls glanced at the "blasphemous card" and then withdrew his gaze. He could finally get the follow-up formula. Although "Dread Viscount" Bird Mustang promised to give him the formula and potion materials, he only
Limited to the "briber" of Sequence 7, he will no longer provide formulas and potions in the future.
Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, glanced at the members of the Tarot Club and saw their reactions in his eyes. After realizing that the "Emperor" just glanced at it and then looked away, he thought to himself, "I don't believe you know this is..."
You can still sit still after playing the "Black Emperor" card!
However, his good mood was ruined by Miss Justice. The two diaries she provided had been read by herself, and one of them had been submitted by the "Emperor".
After reading the diary, "Magician" Forsi was the first to speak. She looked at "The World" and said:
"Mr. World, I will collect magical items or powerful extraordinary weapons from the sun field for you as soon as possible."
"What deal did you guys reach in private?" "Justice" Audrey, who thought she was very familiar with Forsi but had no idea about this matter, couldn't help but ask.
Forsi breathed out and said:
"Mr. World helped me find the formula for Astrologer."
"Astrologer"? Rawls looked at Forsi and his mind moved:
"Miss Magician, I have here a copy of the Extraordinary Characteristics of the Astrologer. Do you need it? 1,200 pounds." This was the attribute of the divine envoy he used to kill the Aurora Society. He originally planned to give Alicia to the Buddha.
Er thought of it, and later decided to sell it to her at the Tarot Club.
Audrey and Alger, who were still surprised by "The World's" ability to find formulas, both looked at Rawls. They didn't believe that this was just a characteristic of "Astrologer", it was more likely that it was mixed with "Apprentice"
and "The Master of Tricks."
Which number is this?
Forsi opened her mouth. She didn't feel bad because she spent money to buy the formula in vain. Even if it had characteristics, it still needed auxiliary materials. But the problem now was that she didn't even have the money to pay "The World", so she could only agree.
Collect magical items from the Sun Realm to obtain powerful extraordinary weapons. Where can you find money to buy special features?
"Well, Mr. Emperor, I don't have any money at the moment, but I do have a book that records knowledge about the spiritual world. Can I exchange it? If you think it's not enough, I can make up some money."
Rawls was silent for a while. If he didn't know that Forsi didn't know his identity, he would have felt that this was a provocation. He had already read all of "Spirit World Insights" and used the formula of "Master of Magic".
. Now if I use it in exchange for the characteristics of "astrologer", wouldn't I be at a loss?
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in spiritual knowledge."
"Okay then, I'll raise the money as soon as possible." Forsi lowered his head with regret.
Klein glanced at the "Magician". It was not that the "Emperor" was not interested in the knowledge of the spiritual world. As a member of the royal family and a senior member of MI9, he naturally did not regard the knowledge presented by a "magic master" in his eyes.
The "Magician" can't travel through the spirit world yet. This must be something belonging to the Abraham family. Since the "Emperor" is not interested, I naturally want to take a look. It's just that I have exchanged the formula of the "Astrologer" for a sun domain.
extraordinary items.
After the transaction between the two ended, "Justice" Audrey looked at the "blasphemy card":
"Mr. Fool, I want to know which path to God is contained in that 'blasphemous card'?"
Klein didn't hide anything and chuckled:
"That's a 'Black Emperor' card."
"The corresponding sequence 9 is 'lawyer'." When he said this, he looked at the "emperor". Whether he can get more knowledge from him depends on his reaction!
