Chapter 1467

Gavin North glanced at him and said, "What about you? Longfellow. Or rather, His Majesty the King behind you, what does he want?"

Stanley Longfellow grinned and said, "Didn't I say it? All His Majesty the King wants is your loyalty."

Gavin North's eyes darkened slightly and he whispered: "Even if this matter fails, the Northland will always be the Northland of the Kingdom."

Stanley Longfellow stretched out his finger, shook it, and said, "Gavin North, don't you understand yet?"

Gavin North sighed and said: "My loyalty to the king can be seen from the sun and the moon."

"That's good." Stanley Longfellow said with a smile, "If it weren't for your Majesty's sons and daughters who have too many ideas, this kind of good thing wouldn't be your turn. Seize the opportunity. By the way, don't forget to take this opportunity. A contract was signed.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a contract scroll from his sleeve and spread it out in front of Gavin North for the nth time.

Gavin North stared at the contract and finally signed his name this time.

"Okay! Wish us happy cooperation!" Stanley Longfellow smiled even brighter.

"Professor Harvey, it has to be you."

Looking at the contract paper that was gradually disappearing, Dak sighed softly. Professor Harvey chuckled, stretched out his fingers, and closed the floating eyeballs.

After the two people left the Northland Duke's military camp, they returned to the academy's camp to rest temporarily.

But what Dak didn't expect was that as soon as Professor Harvey sat down, he took out an eyeball as big as a fist and then released a projection.

"It's a one-time projection tool that unfortunately sacrifices a lot for concealment and can only last less than ten minutes." Professor Harvey said calmly.

Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow probably never imagined that in that heavily guarded military camp, there would be something that could penetrate countless layers of barriers and transmit messages.

Moreover, it did not cause any fluctuations.

All their speeches during that period were completely presented in the eyes of Dak and others.

After sighing, Dak regretted: "Unfortunately, they are too cautious. They don't even open up about private conversations."

Professor Harvey said: "Having said that, we have been able to glean enough information from this conversation."

Dark nodded and said: "Professor Harvey, do you know what kind of contract Gavin North signed?

Professor Harvey regretted: "The eyes I released can only convey sound and visual information, but that contract must be extraordinary. You see, from our perspective, there is only a black fog. I even feel , even Count Longfellow can’t see what’s written on the contract. This is an exclusive contract between the king and Gavin North.”

Dark said: "According to what they said, the minimum effectiveness of this contract should also guarantee Gavin North's loyalty. If Northland is eventually inherited by Gavin North, it means that it will be absolutely loyal to the king. This may be detrimental to us, but it is not something we need to consider now.”

Professor Harvey nodded: "What we need to consider now is their true purpose."

Duck said: "Longfellow mentioned a pair of children of the king, and he must be referring to Charles and Eliza. Combined with the situation of the Holy Religion and the elves, there may be an age limit for the purpose they seek."

Professor Harvey said: "This should be clear by tomorrow morning. If it is indeed age related, they should bring a few young people with them."

Duck leaned back in his chair, looked up at Ollie's chin, and asked, "How many children does Gavin North have?"

Ollie said directly: "Gavin North gave birth to children with two different wives when he was in his twenties and thirties respectively. The first wife has passed away, and his son is just over twenty. The first The second wife is still alive and gave birth to a girl, who is now fifteen years old.”

Dark said: "Based on the Holy Son Paladin, this pair of children should be within the age range. Do you think Gavin North will lead them all into danger?"

A playful smile appeared on Professor Harvey's face: "No matter what they want, going deep into the Mountain of the Gods means facing death at any time. I don't think Gavin North will bring all his children with him. As for which ones to bring with him One is beyond the reach of the old man."

Dak shook his head and said: "The danger is proportional to the gain. Since Gavin North has signed that weird contract, it means that he has made a heavy bet. Who can know what he is really thinking at this time? ?Anyway, let’s wait and see.”

Professor Harvey smiled and said: "But we have also gained something. At least we know some of the effects of [Blood of God]."

"Yes." Dak couldn't help but smile, "Anyway, I have rested. It's time to visit the Holy Cult."

【Good morning, Mo Mo (*-3). 】

Chapter 934 Darkdemon’s Information Advantage (6k)

In short, the core of the problem is concentrated here.

Since the final destination of both parties is [Heaven], there is no point of conflict on the road before entering [Heaven].

But after entering [Heavenly Court], conflicts are very likely to arise because of their different purposes.

And if what you want has "uniqueness", it will further develop into inevitable violent conflicts.

For the Holy Religion, there is no option to enter [Heavenly Court] without relying on cooperation with the academy. Therefore, if it will eventually develop into a violent conflict, it is better not to cooperate from the beginning.

Therefore, Bishop Sabrina Vermeil made it clear that this issue must be clarified first.

But it is not easy to do this.

Because under the current circumstances, it is impossible for both parties to frankly state their true intentions.

Even if Sabrina is willing to reveal it for some reason, Darhk won't reveal anything.

What's more, both parties need to ensure their own "information advantage"

The Holy Cult has a very clear purpose in entering [Heavenly Court]. At this point, they must have information that the academy does not have. Based on what Duck knows so far, Gavin North and Earl Stanley Longfellow should also have similar information.

Their goals are very consistent.

As for the elves, although there is no information yet, Dak highly suspects that they also have similar purposes.

In the end, among the four forces, only St. Marian College knew nothing about it.

But the academy actually also possesses information that the other three parties do not. Moreover, the arrival of "students" such as Dak and Aurora was quite confusing to the three parties.

From the current point of view, both Gavin North's side and the Holy Religion's side seem to tacitly agree that Dak's side knows "something".

This is a status quo caused by chance, but for Dark and others, it is quite beneficial.

If you want to gain nothing, you must continue to perpetuate this misconception.

The above thoughts flashed through Dak's mind quickly, and then he said decisively: "About this, I can guarantee that there is no conflict."

"Huh?" Bishop Sabrina Vermeil frowned and said,

"How to be sure?"

Dak said calmly: "What we need is other more important things. If the situation permits, we can even provide you with a certain degree of help after achieving our own goals."

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil's brows deepened because of this. She looked at Dak slightly suspiciously, as if she wanted to see something from his face.

But Dak's expression management ability has long been maxed out, so there will be no mistakes at this time.

"In fact." Dak paused for a moment and then continued, "What you should consider more is whether there will be conflicts with the other two families. I just came back from the Northland military camp."

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil nodded and said: "I already know this from Chris's mouth. So, you have reached an agreement with the Duke of the North?"

Duck shook his head and said: "The Duke of the North has no intention of spying on the Mountain of the Gods, but I have reached an agreement with Count Stanley Longfellow."

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil said: "Stanley Longfellow...and sure enough, our dear King wants a piece of the action. Who is his supporter? Which North family member? The boss?" ?The third child? Or the seventh child?"

Dak said: "Gavin North."

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil was a little surprised and said: "Gavin North? Tiger of the North Wind?"

Duck nodded slightly and said: "Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow have secretly cooperated, and they will set off with us tomorrow. I think his purpose should be similar to yours. If you don't want to miss anything, , it is best to set off as soon as possible. In addition, we are already contacting the elves. I personally think that the Mountain of the Gods is full of dangers, and the Heaven is full of unknowns. If one more person can gather all the strength, How much can it reduce the losses?"

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil glanced at him and thought quickly.

The alliance between Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow is not something to be afraid of, but if the elves are also involved... coupled with the alliance between St. Marian College, the cooperation of these three forces will surely burst out with powerful power. That's not what she wants to see.

And as Dak said, one more person means more power... The Holy Cult is bound to win this operation, but how sure is it? In fact, there is not much at all.

Their confidence only lasts until "they can pass through the Mountain of Gods and reach the entrance of [Heaven]." As for what will happen after entering [Heaven], no one can predict it.

Although Sabrina Wilmere has made some preparations, in a divine realm like [Heaven], whether those preparations can be effective is also a question.

According to speculation within the Holy Cult, this operation is also extremely risky, and those who participated in this mission have been mentally prepared to not be able to come back.

But proportional to the risks are the rewards that are equally huge and unimaginable.

Once this mission is successful, Sabrina Vermeil will be able to jump from the rank of bishop to archbishop, and will even be qualified to compete for the next pope!

During the introduction, Albert and Emily will also become her support.

This is one of the reasons why she took on this mission.

This is also the biggest reason why she will sit here and patiently negotiate with Dak and others.

From her perspective, Principal Arte of Saint Marian College is currently the only human being who has returned from [Heaven]. Even if Principal Arte does not personally do it, the people at Saint Marian College must have control over it. A lot of information they didn't have.

That is, "information advantage".

She unilaterally believes that St. Marian College has an information advantage over the Holy Church.

Duck had actually realized this when negotiating with Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow.

Whether it is the Northland, the royal family, or currently the Holy Religion, they all believe that the academy has more information.

But only the academy itself knows, and the information they have is quite limited.

But they can just take advantage of this cognitive error to promote this tripartite or even four-party cooperation as quickly as possible!

By this time, Dak's thinking was very clear.

Successfully reaching cooperation with Gavin North and Stanley Longfellow is a starting point.

With this starting point, subsequent negotiations will be much simpler. The first one is to establish “advantage”.

Even this advantage may be false. Article 2: Hidden threats.

Two of the four parties have reached cooperation. If you don't participate, you will fall behind.

Since the goals of the three parties are similar and there is a direct competitive relationship, no one wants to fall behind.

There are irreconcilable conflicts between the Holy Cult and the Elves. It is fundamentally impossible for them to form an alliance alone to compete with the cooperation of the other two parties.

Now, as the middleman, the academy can integrate all the four forces.

In this way, there is the third article. Reduce risk.

As an intermediary and the initiator and leader of this cooperation, the academy has made it clear that it will not participate in the competition between the other three parties.

This is also very critical to the promotion of this cooperation.

The essence of these items is based on the credibility of the college.

Fortunately, St. Marian College's reputation has been built up over thousands of years, so there isn't much of a problem with its credibility.

Moreover, because the academy does not have an "information advantage" in essence, it will actively avoid exploring the true purpose of each party during the entire negotiation. This will form a natural information barrier.

This will make the other three parties feel that their information is not being spied on, creating a special sense of security.

Duck's discussions with Bishop Sabrina Vermeil continued after this.

Excluding other factors, the atmosphere of this discussion was relatively pleasant. It just took a little extra time to determine the details of the cooperation.

Seeing that it was already noon, Sabrina Vermeil invited Duck and others to have lunch.

Although Dak wanted to leave as soon as possible to see the situation with the elves, but since the cooperation had not yet been finalized, he had to stay here for lunch.

Lunch was very sumptuous.

The arrival of Albert and Emily also brought a large amount of ingredients, which were carefully cooked and presented in such a delicious form.

But after the initial prayer, whether it was Sabrina Vermeil, Albert or Emily, they quickly quieted down, observing the church etiquette of not speaking at the table, and ate quietly.

Duck also calmed down and enjoyed the delicious food.

During lunch time, there were only subtle sounds of clinking knives and forks and chewing in the entire restaurant, but these were also covered up by the beautiful music.

After finishing lunch like this, Duck took out a wet wipe from the glass, wiped the corners of his mouth very carefully, and waited for everyone to put down the tableware.

Then the negotiations continued.

About one o'clock later, this meeting, which was called a discussion but was actually a "test", finally ended.

Chapter 934 Darkdemon’s Information Advantage (6k) >>

Dark reached a "merely verbal" cooperation agreement with Bishop Sabrina Vermeil, and took Chris and others away from the Holy Cult camp.

Bishop Sabrina Vermeil has no problem with leaving tomorrow morning. She has been making preparations to march into the Mountain of the Gods since the Holy Son's Paladin has not yet arrived here. There is no such thing as "rush".

She can even set out on the spot if necessary.

But after Duck and others left, Sabrina Vermeer's expression instantly became serious.
