One hand held the pen inlaid with sapphire, and the gold pen tip moved smoothly on the paper, leaving black footprints and forming two gorgeous words - Dawn Dantès.
Looking at the signature on the contract again, Klein's mouth twitched. Signing this word meant that he would spend 20,000 pounds to purchase the Meige Manor in the northwest suburbs of Queens, which almost cost him nearly 100,000 pounds.
Half of the working capital. This was due to the civil strife in the "Legion of Conquerors", the increase in arms prices, and the result of the fact that he sold several magical items.
Fortunately, this is investment real estate, or real estate in the capital Backlund, so he won't lose too much. It's not surprising that he thinks so. After all, after the abolition of the Corn Laws, the prices of manors, mountains and forests have dropped. After all,
The output price of land has been greatly affected.
Rosewood Manor is better. The main way to make money is through high-quality vineyards and wineries. The wine produced here is no worse than the famous wines on the market, but the land area is limited and the output is not very high. It is only suitable for private gifts and collections.
.
After closing the pen cap, Klein closed the contract, pushed it forward, stood up and shook hands with the middle-aged man opposite him, who was the housekeeper who was originally in charge of Mei Ge Manor.
The transaction amount was only 20,000 pounds, and the young Duke Negan did not need to come forward. Especially after the Conservative Party won the general election, the young Duke has been busy with government affairs and has not paid too much attention to the price of the manor.
As the intermediary, Qonas Kilger also stepped forward to congratulate the two of them, and received Klein's thanks. The middle-aged manor housekeeper also expressed his gratitude on behalf of the young duke, and after a few words of conversation, he said goodbye and left.
"I really envy you. Many people wanted to buy this manor before, but unfortunately the Negan family had no intention of buying it before."
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bought such an expensive manor... Klein looked at Qonas Kilger, who was wearing a black formal suit, and thanked him again:
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to buy such a manor."
Although the identity of Dwayne Dantès has been recognized to a certain extent in Backlund's upper class society, unless he is too short of money, the original owner will still consider other factors when selling such a manor.
"Just leave me a few bottles of the wine produced every year." Qionas touched his beard. Although wine is not his favorite thing, it can still be ranked in the top five.
As a famous grape-growing area in the Northern Continent, the champagne, red wine, and white wine in the northwest suburbs of Backlund are all of high quality. However, most of the manors here belong to the nobility, and the home-brewed alcoholic beverages are basically not sold to the outside world.
Therefore, almost no one in the market has heard of it. Only people in the upper class or people close to this circle know the situation. Reading is dull.
Rosewood is one of the most representative manor houses in this area. The wines it produces have been widely praised by the local circle. The red wines of special vintages have even been offered by collectors for hundreds of pounds per bottle.
However, Klein was able to buy such a manor for 20,000 gold pounds, and naturally he agreed to some conditions, that is, all the wines of special vintages would be taken away by Duke Negan.
Although Qionas Kilger is the deputy chief of the Major General, he is not in Backlund's political circle and is an outcast. It is difficult to obtain the wine produced by Meige Manor.
When you die, I will have a drink in front of your tombstone every year. Of course, I will try not to give you the opportunity to erect a tombstone... Klein smiled and nodded:
"No problem at all."
"It is said that a large part of the 20,000 pounds you paid today will be distributed as rewards to Conservative members who played an important role in the general election."
Klein's eyelids twitched. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to give out half of his entire wealth as a reward.
"The young Duke was not very interested in manors and the like. In order to survive the crisis when the Corn Laws were repealed, he relied on the advice of his political assistant, the current Viscount of Derrian, Rolls Adrian.
Next, we gave up the interests of the Central Sunian Sea Colony."
There was both appreciation and regret in Qionas' words.
When Klein calmed down and was about to seduce Qonas with the cigars collected in Mei Ge Manor, an illusory prayer came to his ears, and he had no choice but to end the conversation after a few words.
Watching the deputy director of MI9 leave, he took a deep breath, turned back to the room, closed the door, and walked four steps backward to reach the top of the gray fog. When he saw the star that sometimes expanded and sometimes shrank,
After blushing deeply, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly had a bad premonition.
It's Mr. "Emperor"!
After sitting at the head of the long bronze table, Klein spread his spirituality. In the illusory and distorted picture, Mr. "Emperor"'s prayer came:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I hope to discuss matters related to the Psychological Alchemy Society Hvin Rambis with Miss Justice in your country. The specific time will be decided by Miss Justice."
Hvin Rambis?
Klein frowned, why did Mr. "Emperor" suddenly want to discuss things about him?
Although the identity of this member of the Psychological Alchemy Society's jury had long been exposed at the Tarot Conference, Mr. "Emperor" only showed sarcasm at that time, not anger, let alone directly revealed the other party's identity and reported it to the three major organizations.
The church, on the other hand, feels like it is watching with indifference.
Could it be that the Tamara family or the "Son of Chaos" gave him the mission? Or did Hvin Rambis have any new actions?
With this question in mind, Klein threw the corresponding prayer screen into the crimson star corresponding to "Justice". After receiving a response, he disappeared at the top of the long bronze table. At the same time, crimson bursts appeared on both sides of the long table.
, two illusory figures wrapped in gray mist appeared.
"Justice" Audrey, who was invited to come, first cast her gaze at the location where "The Fool" appeared. She was a little surprised when she found that the place was empty, but she still stood up and greeted Mr. "Emperor" opposite:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Good afternoon, Mr. Emperor."
Rawls, who knew that Klein was hiding and eavesdropping, also stood up and returned his greetings.
"Mr. Emperor, you want to discuss with me something about Hvin Rambis? What happened?"
Audrey spoke hurriedly. The strong malice shown by this demigod of the "audience" path had always made her very uneasy. Although she was telling the other party about her father's attitude on some less important matters, one day this would happen.
It would make Hvin Rambis realize something was wrong.
"I did receive some news here, but I'm not sure yet, so I want to consult you." Rawls clasped his fingers together and put them on the table, "The Rebel you mentioned before who was next to Princess Mary, recently
Is there anything unusual?"
After Lucerne showed his value, Govington's trust in him has obviously increased a lot, and many things are no longer hidden from him.
Rebel seemed to feel the pressure, and her whereabouts became more and more mysterious. Coupled with her ambiguous relationship with Govington, after Lucerne reported the news, Rawls also paid special attention to this matter.
"Rebel?" Audrey frowned slightly, "She hasn't looked for me recently. In fact, except for the period two months ago, she looked for me more frequently. After that, it was basically once every two weeks. Last time
She came to see me three weeks ago. Is there something wrong with her?"
"You should know her original thoughts?"
Audrey nodded:
"She wanted to win over my father through me."
There are only two people above the gray fog now. Mr. "Emperor" knows his identity, so Audrey doesn't hide anything. As for Rebel's thoughts, she can understand them without reading the other person's mind.
What does the other party want to do?
"She is no longer looking for you now. It should be Hvan Rambis's order. Compared to Covington, your father is much more important. And she wants to use you to influence Earl Hall's political considerations.
This was Govington's stupid idea, but Hwin's approach was more correct. This is also the usual approach of the Psychological Alchemy Society.
"However, you should be more careful recently. Rebel may try to contact you again." Rawls moved forward slightly, "I got the news that Rebel followed the dead Charlie and turned to Govington.
It’s a new task that Psychological Alchemy will give her.”
Mr. "Emperor" also placed people around Prince Govington?
Audrey opened her mouth slightly, but then she thought of Mr. "Emperor"'s identity as a high-ranking member of MI9, and it seemed that it was normal to get information about the prince.
"But with Hvin Rambis as a member of the jury here, will Rebel still disobey his orders?"
"This is just my guess. Backlund is the capital of Mandu and has always been the focus of the Psychological Alchemy Society. I even suspect that the unusually mysterious president has an identity here."
"An identity?" Audrey was a little confused.
"Sequence 3 of the 'Audience' path is called 'Dream Weaver'. They can separate different identities and exist as different individuals. Even if the separated identity dies, it will not affect the main body."
After becoming a participant in the "Mist of Uncertainty", Rawls no longer has to worry about being suspected for speaking too much.
But Klein, who had been secretly listening to the conversation between the two, frowned. It was not that he doubted the knowledge Rawls mentioned, or the source of this knowledge. He felt that Mr. "Emperor" and Miss "Justice"
The conversation had no focus from beginning to end, and Hvin Rambis did not mention much.
However, he had to be amazed by Mr. "Emperor's" eloquence. The "Audience" path should be the most resistant in this regard, and the "Justice" talent was also very high, but when facing the "Emperor", he could only be led by the opponent.
Walking with your nose pointed,
Just after writing down this piece of knowledge, Audrey was about to continue speaking, but after hearing the next sentence, she was stunned. The same was true for Klein, who was secretly eavesdropping. He couldn't believe his ears.
When will Mr. "Emperor" come to steal his business?
"I want to hunt Hvin Rambis." Rawls reiterated.
"Mr. Emperor, Hvin Rambis is a demigod."
Although Audrey has almost no experience fighting extraordinary people, from some things told by other members of the Tarot Society, she can also realize that it is extremely difficult to hunt a demigod in perfect condition. And Hwen Lan
Bisi has been in Backlund recently. Once a battle breaks out at the demigod level, demigods from the three major churches, the royal family, and the military will be attracted.
Klein understood this even more. Hvin Rambis was also his hunting target, but he still targeted Qonas Kilgor, another demigod, first, and even bought a hunting ground far away from the city for this purpose.
, a manor worth 20,000 pounds, just to prevent the other party from getting assistance in time.
But even so, he didn't have much confidence in hunting Qonas Kilgor. It was really difficult for him to restrain a demigod who was determined to escape.
Although Hervin Rambis will not be more dangerous than Qonas Kilgor, the hunting will be much more difficult. If you want to lead an "audience" who can see through people's hearts to a place where he cannot attract the attention of other demigods
almost impossible.
In addition, Klein didn't know much about the Psychological Alchemy Society, which was why he temporarily set his target on Qonas.
According to the information given by Miss Justice, the birth of the Psychological Alchemy Society was related to Hermes, but Hermes was a member of the Twilight Hermits and had a connection with Adam. This alone was enough for Klein to give up.
"Mr. Emperor, I very much hope that you can complete the hunt for Hvin Rambis, but..."
"I understand your thoughts. If I don't have enough confidence, I will naturally not take action easily." Rawls leaned back on his chair, "That is a demigod after all. The 'Manipulator' of Sequence 4 can even
It can exert the power of Sequence 3 level, so I need your help."
"My help?" Audrey pointed to herself, somewhat disbelieving.
"Of course, Emperor Russell said that the strongest fortress is often breached from within. My understanding of Hvin Rambis is limited to his status as a royal advisor, and his status as a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society's Jury.
contacted.
"For example, when you have something to report, do you want to convey it through other members of the Psychological Alchemy Society, or go to him directly? Where will he be when he wants to see you? These are what I need to understand. Hunting often requires a long wait.
Wait until the prey appears under the muzzle of the gun, then pull the trigger and shoot the bullet."
"I can do this..." Audrey hesitated, "But I need to think about it. I will give you an answer at the Tarot meeting next week."
Rawls was stunned for a moment and guessed what Audrey was thinking. The other party was worried that there would be problems with the intelligence and information he provided, which would lead to the failure of the hunt and threaten his life safety. So he wanted to wait until next week's Tarot meeting to consult.
Do other members have better ideas.
Just when he was about to say a few more words, he saw Audrey's hands on the table clenching her fists slightly, seeming to have firmed up his idea. He had no choice but to give up and wait for next week's Tarot meeting.
