After communicating the specific details of the transaction, Klein promised to prepare an advance payment of 10,000 pounds tomorrow, then smiled and said to Colonel Calvin and Senator Macht:
"Since the war may break out at any time, I plan to take the airship directly to Dixi, and then take a boat to the Southern Continent from there."
This is the news he got from Ms. Daly. She and Leonard left Backlund on a military airship this morning.
"Oh, I should have found you earlier..." Colonel Calvin's donkey face grew a little longer, "This morning the military happened to have an airship flying to Dixi."
"Aren't there still civilian ones? It's June now, and there aren't that many people going to Dixi."
Klein didn't care about this very much. He just wanted to leave Dixi through normal means. It was impossible for someone like him who had already stepped into the upper class society to disappear out of thin air.
"The cost is not small. A third-class seat now costs at least fifty pounds. If there are not enough people to ride, there will be an additional fee." Councilor Macht frowned and turned to look at Gal.
Wen said, "How about you issue a special pass to Dawn."
Backlund's airship route to Dixi County was opened last year. Their target customers are upper class people and some middle class people, and it is difficult for the latter to afford related expenses during the off-season vacation in Dixi. This is different from Klein's previous off-season flight.
Cheap tickets are just the opposite.茌
So expensive! A first class ticket to Byam is only 35 pounds...
Klein's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal, but he did not cast a glance at Calvin, which might make the other party think that he was exerting pressure. He also understood that one or two hundred pounds or even three or four hundred pounds would be very important to him now.
The two people across from me can afford it easily, and Congressman Macht is just expressing his goodwill by saying this.
Of course, hoping that he can complete the transaction as soon as possible is also one of the reasons. After all, war may break out at any time.
Therefore, Colonel Calvin only hesitated slightly. It was unrealistic for him to transfer a military airship to Dwayne Dantès alone, but it was still possible to issue a special pass. Civilian airships
Since the airship has just been opened not long ago, it is still under the jurisdiction of the military for the time being.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Klein stood up and left.
He walked along the corridor toward the stairs, wondering if he could have a meal at the club. The chefs here were quite famous, and many of the food ingredients were the best in the country and even the world.
Just before he passed the corner, the "Joker"'s "intuitive premonition" was activated and he saw the person passing by the corner of the stairs in advance: Shi
The man was over 1.85 meters tall, but less than 1.9 meters tall. His arms were slightly longer, his legs were skewed to a certain extent, and his shoulders were unusually broad, making the black formal suit look tight.
He has thick but not messy black eyebrows, short and stiff hair of the same color, dark blue almost black eyes, a nose as tall as a mountain, a large beard extending from around his mouth, deep outlines, and a long face.
, and cold lines.
Klein's spirit suddenly became tense, and his body stiffened for a moment. He recognized this person. He was the Major General Deputy Director of MI9 who killed "Crazy Captain" Connors. Mr. "Emperor" had a "1"
Qonas Kilger, the "Chaos Mentor" of level 1 sealed artifacts.
Fortunately, my "intuition" is beyond the normal "clown"!
Klein controlled his body to relax again, walked slowly around the corner, and met Qonas Kilger. The two met their eyes, showed polite smiles, nodded to each other, and continued upstairs.
One continues downstairs.
Qonas went up the six flights of stairs and looked down when he reached the middle platform. He only saw half of his head flashing past. After thinking for two or three seconds, he continued to go upstairs and entered a room on the top floor.
Quickly walked through the hall on the first floor, boarded the carriage, and after telling the coachman to go home, Klein seemed to be discouraged and sat down half-lying down, just a little bit. If his "intuitive hunch" wasn't so strong, I'm afraid he and Qiu
As soon as Nas Kilgor met, he immediately noticed the problem.
Although everyone is Sequence 5, Qionas has a "1" level sealed artifact in his hand, and he also controls the sealed artifact team. But why did he come to the "East Balam Veteran Officers Club"? Is he just here to play, or is he in charge of the sealed artifact team?
…
Klein gradually sat up straight. He remembered clearly that many aboriginal tribes in the Southern Continent were plundered and their populations plundered. In addition, Qonas Kilger silenced "Crazy Captain" Connery, so he had to
Make him suspicious.
After Mr. "Emperor" told him about George III, he temporarily gave up on pursuing this line. After all, he knew who was behind the scenes, and his own strength was not enough, plus he and "Emperor"
My husband mentioned Qionas, and even if the other party won't take the initiative to investigate due to pressure, they should pay more attention to it.
Maybe I will have a private discussion with Mr. "Emperor" next time in the Tarot Club.
Klein's body relaxed again, and only then did he realize that the cold sweat on his back had penetrated his shirt.
…
"Are you sure you want to do this? If anything goes wrong, the Church of the Night will definitely be held accountable. But now it is different from before. His Majesty has allowed the three major churches to send personnel to the military. Once they get a handle on it, the big leaders in the military will
He will definitely put the blame on me, and then I will be doomed!" Shi
In a room on the top floor of the East Balam Veterans Club, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a large area of his scalp was sitting on the sofa, looking embarrassed.
There were layers of fat around his waist, and his belly could be seen through the gaps between the buttons of his shirt.
Qonas Kilger, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was holding a wine glass. His formal suit, which was already tight due to his unusually broad shoulders, seemed to be whining. His deep blue and nearly black eyes looked at the red wine in the glass:
"Then we have to talk about what you did in East Balam."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Damn it, can't you change the sentence?"
The middle-aged man waved his arms angrily, causing the fat around his waist to shake. A button flew off and a piece of meat squeezed out from there.
Qonas tilted his head to avoid the flying button, and slowly raised his head to look at the man. His face was calm, but his eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person. This made the man feel cold all over, and he quickly raised his hands:
"I promise you, can't I promise you?"
Seeing the corners of Qonas' lips raised, the man put down his hands and gasped:
"However, you have to prepare a reasonable explanation for me. Even though that guy named Jordi is from the 'Church Comprehensive Affairs Group', after all, he has the order of Lord Selt and cannot be easily dealt with.
.”
"He just needs to refuse it when he goes there for the first time. On the grounds that it does not comply with the regulations, the order in Jordi's hand does not have Gutierrez's signature. I will handle the rest of the matter."
Qonas shook his wine glass with a leisurely attitude.
As long as Jordi asks the headquarters for help, they can ask Selt to reconsider the matter. Gutierrez is back now, so naturally there is no need for the leader of the comprehensive team to perform the task in his place.
"That's fine." Shi
Efron Rosent breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was the nephew of General Arnold Rosent, he could only delay it for a while. The difficulty was over, and he returned to his original character:
"Are you so worried about Selt supporting Jordi to become the deputy director? Even if His Majesty allows it, aren't you four against four?"
After glancing at Efron, Qionas took a sip of red wine without any explanation.
Efron didn't take it seriously, pointed to the ground with a smile and said:
"Do you know what Calvin is doing?"
"Doing the same thing you used to do?"
"How do you know?" Efron stared at his little eyes, "You know, you don't look for him?"
He is the nephew of General Arnold, but he is not taken seriously, and is even somewhat disliked. He can only use his name as a false name, otherwise he will not be threatened by Qonas, but that is better than Calvin, a colonel in the Ministry of National Defense.
"He is smarter than you. He will not sell weapons to Roen's enemies, Fusac, Intis's friends..."
Although Qionas said this, he also knew that Calvin was also supported by some military bosses. If something went wrong, he would be abandoned like those businessmen, and he himself was the same.
On the surface, he is still the "Chaos Mentor" and has not yet ignored political risks. Only demigods like Emilius Leavitt and Arnold Rosent can get rid of politics to a certain extent, which is why he
The reason for doing this kind of thing.
Among the four teams and the four deputy directors within MI9, he has the lowest status, even though the deputy director in charge of the personnel team is only sequence 6.
This kind of restriction on Celtic can only be done by him.
"You mean, a war is going to break out in the Southern Continent?" Shi
Efron's eyelids twitched and his fat body trembled. If this was the case, he would need to think of an excuse to go back later.
Qonas, who saw his thoughts, shook his head:
"How is it possible? At most, there was some minor conflict in West Balam. General Arnold is a famous general who did not suffer too many losses in a head-on battle with the 'Legion of Conquerors'."
Efron, who heard that Qonas praised his uncle so much, touched the hair around him, and he didn't quite understand. Three thousand versus three thousand, he lost more than 500 people, and the enemy had less than 100 people.
Isn’t that too much of a loss?
Qonas, who knew that Efron was neither an Extraordinary nor had directly faced the "Legion of Conquerors", did not explain too much. He remembered the man he had met at the corner of the stairs just now and described his appearance.
"It sounds like the businessman Calvin is looking for. He just came to Backlund not long ago. It is said that he has connections in the Southern Continent..." Efron didn't know much about it, "You still want to check on Calvin?"
Qonas Kilgor narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
…
Nukaburg Manor outside Winston City.
Rawls rubbed his temples, and he finally managed to make his uncle Edmund Robert understand something in a semi-suggestive way, and persuaded him to live in Winston to prevent some potential dangers.
Backlund is still too dangerous with this guy Klein around.
He got up and left the study, went to the living room on the first floor, looked at Delina who was looking through the posts, smiled and said:
"Is there anyone you're interested in?"
Normally, as newlyweds, even if there is no such thing as a honeymoon yet, they will spend some time alone together.
But for Rawls and Delina, this is obviously unrealistic. Who made them become the king and queen of Ma Xi on the day of their wedding? Therefore, there are a lot of things that the new king needs to do after he ascends the throne.
It's already coming.
Again, these things will require two people to perform them together.
Therefore, what Rawls meant was to first pick out things that Delina was interested in doing.
"How about attending an academic conference at Winston University first?" Delina picked up the invitation on the far left.
"Are you sure you choose this one?" Rawls frowned slightly, "What about the next one?"
Delina picked up the second invitation on the left and shook it:
"St Wilhelm's Cathedral's Q&A event this month."
"Then the third one is to attend the parliament?" Rawls glanced at the arranged invitations and felt helpless, "Isn't this the default order?"
Ma Xi or under the rule of the Church of Knowledge, these are the three things that the new king must do after he ascends the throne, and the order is fixed, covering traditional habits, religious beliefs, and state power.
"Yeah, what's the problem with that?"
On the first day she came here, Delina began to read relevant books and understand the instructions in this regard, for fear that she would do something wrong. She did not dare to neglect this default sequence.
"Isn't any of these things interesting to you?"
Rawls flipped through the posts, found one and handed it to Delina:
"For example, this is where I teach a class in a junior high school." Shi
Among the three things in the default order, except for the monthly Q&A activities held at St. Wilhelm's Cathedral, which are held at fixed times, the rest are the closest ones. Winston University has at least three academic conferences a week, and the National Parliament has a week.
There will be one time.
"But this..."
"You have to know that we are different from others. Think about what happened at our wedding." Rawls hugged Delina and sat down. "Since you know so much, you can definitely tell the difference."
He is not a king who went to Lemberg to be crowned by the Pope of the Church of Knowledge. The previous king presided over the coronation ceremony. These have been discussed in the newspapers of Loen for several days, but only in the newspapers of Lemberg, Maxi, and Segal.
They all remained silent for the time being.
Of course Delina knew the difference, but she couldn't understand it and didn't dare to think too much about it. She was also the princess of Loen. If a mistake was made in this regard, it would naturally be the Augustus family that would be humiliated.
Kingdom of Loen.
"Don't worry, we still have to do these things, we just need to change the order."
Rawls stroked Delina's hair with one hand and picked up the third invitation:
"There should be a meeting tomorrow morning. After attending it, we can find a junior high school to teach a class. How about that?"
Delina hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
