When Edmund asked questions, Crowe happened to take his first sip of wine. He smacked his lips, met Edmund's expectant eyes, and said:
“This wine is good”
Edmund smiled and said: "You haven't answered my question yet, Jin Yang."
"Ah? What are you talking about?" Clow took another sip of wine, swung the glass and commented: "This wine is really good, not much worse than my private collection. The king is the king, he is rich."
As a high-ranking member of the navy and a business tycoon, Cullo also collects taxes. It is natural that he is rich, and he also has power. He has some good wine, but he has never tasted this wine.
But come to think of it, this is the king, who also has power and money. Considering the quality of life of the citizens, he is still so ruthlessly exploited. Can't he still get whatever he wants?
"Of course, if you want it, I still have a lot of private collections. Ask the waiter to send a batch to your warship later."
Edmund smiled slightly and continued: "It seems that General Jin Ni doesn't like my question very much."
"Ah? Question? Questions are left to knowledgeable people to answer. I am an old illiterate person who has never studied. How can I answer any questions?" Clow said.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "academic qualifications" in this world. To study, you either have to hire a knowledgeable private teacher or you have to figure it out on your own.
Kuro's literacy was purely based on his own efforts. When he was a child, he begged others to teach him how to read. As for the semantic explanation, it was all based on his previous life.
He can guarantee that half of the people in the navy are only literate. Otherwise, why would he like to use Crow so much? Isn't it just convenient?
To the illiterate, even a literate person is a military advisor.
Dog-headed military advisor.
"The dignified General Jin Ni, the nemesis of the old era, is actually such an interesting person. It's a coincidence that I haven't gone to school either." Edmund smiled and said: "I have always hated old scholars since I was a child.
They taught pedantic things and asked me to keep a diary. I am the king, why should I keep a diary?"
"Yes, why do you need to keep a diary?" Kuro nodded.
"Do you keep a diary?" Edmund asked.
"I can't write, I can't read, what about you?" Kuro said.
"I won't write either." Edmund said, "If you write a diary, it won't be true."
"Who writes the inner thoughts in the diary? It would be better to just scold him." Qrow said with a smile.
"Yes, no serious person can keep a diary."
"Can a person who writes a diary be a serious person?"
The two looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison: "Despicable."
Edmund smiled, raised the wine glass far away, and made a gesture of clinking glasses with Qrow. After taking a sip, he suddenly took out a piece of parchment from his arms. With a flick of his fingers, the parchment became very silky.
He slid up to Kuro.
"I appreciate you very much, so I plan to give you some benefits. Here, this is the document. I have decided to fund your navy with 100 million Baileys every year. In addition, you will get an additional 30 million Baileys personally. It's not much, but a fly
Legs are also meat, so what do you think, just sign it."
As he said that, he took out another pen from his arms and pushed it to Kuro.
"I can't read."
Even though Kuro said this, when the parchment came over, he glanced at it subconsciously, and then his smile froze.
The parchment on it is really what Edmund said, funding the navy with 100 million beli every year, and giving himself an additional 30 million beli, but there are conditions. It says in black and white - Lu Xilu
·Crow will sacrifice for Dowitchy Edmund when necessary.
pay?
What to pay for?
Where did such a contract come from?
"Is your head soaked in too much wine and it's soft? How can you come up with such a whimsical thing?" Kuro said subconsciously.
"Aren't you illiterate?" Edmund smiled.
The scene was somewhat silent for a while.
Crow raised his head and stared at Edmund who kept smiling. Seeing the teasing and cunning look in his eyes, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Playing with me? Why did you come to me?"
Edmund stood up slowly and chuckled: "As I said just now, I actually admire you, Lucilu Culuo, so, can you work for me? I will show you how to compare.
Being in the navy also involves excitement and a great career. Of course, the money will still be given to you. I will directly give you 100 million beli, and you will be my slave."
"Silly X!"
Kuro stood up and walked out, "Go back and give me the agreed 100 million beli, and let's go!"
What he wants is the previously agreed appearance fee totaling 100 million beli.
But as soon as these words came out, Edmund's eyes lit up, and a smile spread from the corner of his mouth, "The contract is made."
brush!
Without even saying the word 'stand', a black light suddenly flashed out of nowhere and swiped directly along his neck, decapitating him. A large ball of blood spurted out from his neck and shot towards the top of his head.
Then it spun and landed on the ground.
"It's your trap for language skills!"
Crowley is not stupid. When he finished speaking, he instinctively felt the chill and crisis. Coupled with what Edmund had not said just now, it was obvious that it was a language trap!
Kuro had encountered this kind of person before, and a certain 'Rebellion Fruit' who could even reverse life and death by relying on words also had this ability.
His own words just now seemed to have reached a certain condition unintentionally. Otherwise, his knowledge and appearance would not have made him feel the crisis.
Then it's time to take action.
So what about the king? Just kill him!
"You are so brave, you dare to worry about the admiral of the navy!"
Kuro stared at the head with wide eyes and said bitterly: "But with your little strength, how can you possibly be faster than my knife just based on your ability?"
If this treacherous ability is conspiracy, then hard power is the avenue of sunshine.
Under the circumstances, all conspiracies and intrigues can be hidden.
Especially since there were only two of them left in this place, and they couldn't even stop him, why would they dare to do this to themselves?
He just killed a king so rashly.
Kuro shook his Qiu Shui and threw the blood on the blade to the ground. After sheathing the knife, he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "This is a bit troublesome. Although he had evil intentions against me, he died after all.
Here, there is no way to refute. Everyone knows that he invited me here. Now that the person is dead, his neck is still so neat. You can tell at a glance that I killed him. How to solve it."
This was different from the previous time in Donghai, where he had found clear evidence of guilt and would just kill him.
But there is nothing this time. If he is killed, he will be complained by the franchise country. This is a big deal.
