As soon as Clow approached the castle gate from the inner city wall, he saw the door open. Two waiters inside bowed to him and led Clow forward until they reached the depths of the corridor. The waiters turned around and walked in another corridor.
He stopped at the middle door, opened it, then knelt down on one knee and closed his eyes.
"Really, there are so many etiquettes."
Kuro chewed his cigar and walked directly in. He entered a rather luxurious banquet room, surrounded by exquisite murals and luxurious carpets under his feet. There was a long table in the center, and the first seat at the end of the long table sat upright.
Looking at the young and middle-aged man he met before, he looked directly at him with those rare golden eyes, and said with a smile: "General Jin Ni, I have long admired your name. I am the king of Dominica, Dovich Edmund."
"Oh, I know. Anyway, there are 100 million now."
Kuro sat across from him unceremoniously and said: "I hope you will speak slower next time. Fifteen million an hour. It's best to talk for ten to eight hours. I can do it. By the way,
Waiter, bring me some food, serve your best dishes, and the best wine, otherwise I will ruin the place."
The waiter standing beside him heard this and looked at Edmund. Edmund smiled and nodded, waved and asked the waiter to go out to prepare, and then said: "It's a coincidence. You just happened to arrive in my territory and solved a problem for me.
Of course I am here to thank you for the urgent matter of the Tianlong people. Even if you double the money, it will still be a thank you gift to you, General Jin Ni."
"As you said, just double the amount." Clow leaned back, biting his cigar and said nonchalantly: "Thank you for your sponsorship. The Navy will not forget your contribution. I will award you one later.
A medal to honor the men of the sea, okay. Even if you are a king, in the whole sea, you are just a man. As an organization representing the men of the sea, our navy will not have any problem awarding you a medal."
Edmund's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Of course you can, if you are happy. Everything is for you to solve the siege of Cormeric and protect our Dominica."
"So what the hell are you doing here?!"
Kuro didn't understand, "I was so anxious to break away from the relationship when I called you before, why did I get involved in this kind of thing now? If you really have money, improve the lives of the civilians in your royal capital. Those
The pirates shed tears when they see the living conditions of people!"
Edmund's smile deepened when he heard this, and he said slowly: "Speaking of which, I haven't been able to introduce myself to you in detail. I am Dovich Edmond. In the short history of Dominica, I am
The youngest king, who succeeded to the throne at the age of eight, is not a puppet, but governs as an independent king."
"Government has caused your people to live like mice?" Clow said with a smile.
"Yes, they lived like mice. After a series of my policies, each of them went from a prosperous life to the current poverty. This is my policy and my choice."
Edmund smiled and said: "Because I am the king, I can do anything. The citizens of Dominica have an agreement with the king. The king gives them the right to live in this land. Correspondingly, they dedicate everything to the king."
Really standard noble sayings.
But this is also common sense in this world.
Nothing to be surprised about.
Kuro blew out the smoke and said nothing.
Edmund continued: "As long as I am happy, I can even give you half of the wealth and power of this country, as long as you do me a favor."
"Is there such a good thing?" Kuro was stunned, "Tell me, what are you busy with?"
He has no control over what the current situation of this country becomes. This is the internal affairs of the kingdom, but if you want to give him half of the power and wealth? Of course he agrees to this, and he is not stupid.
"So, you agreed?" Edmund's eyes flashed with golden light.
"when"
Just as Qrow was about to speak, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt something was not right. He immediately said, "Dang, but! But you have to tell me what this is, otherwise, I don't know what is wrong."
"Oh, it's just a small favor. It doesn't require you to expend your energy. At most, it only expends your body." Edmund smiled.
"Then what exactly is it?" Kuro felt that something was getting more and more wrong.
Edmund sighed, "General Jin Ni, are you so cowardly? I am giving away half of the wealth and power of a country, I just want you to help me with some physical strength. I have to ask Dong Wen.
Xi? Don’t worry, I’m not killing the Tianlong people. I am the king of the joining country and I have no objection to the Tianlong people.”
"Then tell me what the hell is going on!" A group of blue veins burst out on Kuro's forehead, "You also know that I am a general, and you were playing hide-and-seek with me, and I left!"
Edmund stared at Clow for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened and he saw the waiter pushing the dining cart in.
"Let's eat first." Edmund smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later."
The waiter placed the food in front of Clow in turn, then opened the wine bottle and poured Clow a glass.
Kuro stared at the wine in the glass and said, "Have you sobered up?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, General, I drank it the night before yesterday and woke up a long time ago."
"I didn't ask you!" Kuro twitched the corner of his mouth, "I asked about the wine. Is it sober?"
"Wake up, wake up, sorry"
The waiter hurriedly leaned over to salute, and then quickly exited.
Casting an angry glance at the waiter, Clow picked up the wine glass and looked at Edmund, "You are very kind to your subordinates. We drank the night before yesterday? Would you allow such a thing? I thought you were a majestic monarch."
Edmund smiled and said: "I am very generous to my own people, of course, only to my own people."
"really interesting."
Qrow laughed and gradually put the wine glass into his mouth.
Edmund smiled even more at this time and said: "Speaking of which, there is a rumor about drinking. It is said that a hundred years ago, Dominica was not a complete Dominica. There was another country on this main island, and the king of the country was at that time.
He is a devil, and he makes a pact with people that anyone who drinks the wine at his banquet will become that devil's slave."
"That's really nonsense. There is no devil in the world." Kuro said without raising his head.
The wine glass was getting closer and closer to his mouth.
"Yes, but this agreement is very interesting. General Jin Ni, if you were the devil, you would not make such a childish rumor. But if the rumor is true, how should you deal with it? When you drink this cup
When drinking, you have to abide by the devil's rules, and you become the devil's slave. If it were you, what would you do?" Edmund asked with a smile.
