Chapter 762, the War Has Just Begun
"What is his reason for coming?" Suria didn't think much about it. During this period of time, many businessmen came to her court to see her, or they wanted to join the logistics army, or they came to propose trade, or There are other demands, and Suria is not too surprised: "If there is something, just ask him to talk to Katzenberg or Geffen. I am discussing important things now."
"Mr. Adabe asked to see you by name. He said that he could provide us with a large amount of low-interest loans, and he could organize a mercenary army to assist the expeditionary army through his contacts." Sylvia said with some confusion: "But he said he must see you."
"The businessman from Marienburg also wants to enter the palace casually?" Morgana said impatiently, "I don't think we need to see him, let someone send him away, just say we don't need these!"
Suria was still thinking about it, but the father-in-law Francois took the initiative to speak: "Maybe you can meet this famous businessman in Marienburg and the master of the underground world, Suria, no matter what his actual purpose is, he At least on the surface, they all came with good intentions and good intentions. If everyone who came to our court to express their kindness, we showed this arrogant attitude, then your reputation, Ryan's reputation, and even the whole of Brittany Ya's reputation will have a bad influence."
Hearing what Francois said, Morgiana frowned, but she still didn't say anything. Just like Ryan, the Lake God Witch also knew that Suria, as Ryan's wife and the fairy of the lake, was deeply loved by her. their love and trust.
In the end, it was up to Surya to make the decision.
Su Liya thought for a while, then nodded: "In this case, let's bring him in."
"Yes." Sylvia nodded and went out.
After a while, the head maid walked in with a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, wearing a very elegant aristocratic dress and velvet scarf, with decent brown mid-length hair and an elegant mustache. The leather shoes were inlaid with real gold, and they made a rattling sound when they walked. He seemed a little surprised that François and Morgiana were still in the room, but the guy immediately took off his hat and turned towards Suria. Waiting for someone to extend a standard gentleman's courtesy and greeting: "It is a great honor to be received, Honorable Queen Suria, on behalf of the dozen or so guilds in Marienburg and the Adaba Chamber of Commerce in Marienburg, I would like to extend my warm greetings to you, And His Royal Highness Morgiana, His Excellency François."
The attendants brought in sumptuous gifts worth several thousand marks of gold, including all the luxuries of the Old World.
"Welcome." Suria said very politely: "Thank you for coming to Jean personally, Mr. Adabé-Hunsman, what are you doing this time?"
"I heard that the Bafeng Mountain Expeditionary Force encountered difficulties." Adabé Huntsman had a sincere and eager smile on his face,
He said enthusiastically: "His Majesty Ryan and I have been old friends for more than ten years. We met when we were in Marienburg. When he participated in the auction at the Marienburg talent market, I was also there and heard the expedition I am also saddened by the news that Dajun encountered difficulties, and I am willing to help you when I think of our friendship at the beginning."
"Oh, is that so?" Suria's sea-blue eyes hidden behind her golden bangs were full of playfulness: "I seldom hear my husband mention you, I think you may be mistaken, Ryan is indeed in Marienburg There are quite a few friends, but maybe you're not among them?"
"Uh..." Adabe hit a soft nail when he came up. He was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Su Liya to tell the truth so directly. He thought Su Liya would at least be polite, but he was giving money to someone. Well, shouldn't it be polite to treat yourself?
Francois sat on the side stroking his goatee without speaking, while Morgiana looked at Adabe with a bored expression, as if to signal him to talk about something quickly, so as not to let her issue an eviction order.
"In any case, I'm very grateful for your coming, Mr. Adaba." Surya's charming face had a polite smile on it: "I don't know how you plan to help us?"
"The Great Expedition has been going on for nearly a year. I think, Queen Suria, the kingdom's financial resources should have been exhausted, right?" Loan to you."
"Also, the expeditionary force is encountering difficulties now. They must be fighting hard against the Roof of the World and powerful enemies in the badlands, right? I am willing to help an old friend at this critical moment. In this way, I know some people in Marienburg, and I can Convince Blackbeard Titch and his Mannan Blade mercenary group to organize an expeditionary force to go to the badlands to rescue King Ryan." Adabe said sincerely: "The situation is critical now, and the human expeditionary force cannot Suffering such a big loss, we have to abandon our previous suspicions at this time, unite and tide over the difficulties together!"
"This is the most difficult time. Whether it is the people of the Empire, the people of Brittany or the people of Marienburg, we should all be united!" Adabe once again emphasized his kindness, and he bowed again full of courtesy: "As for Loans and assistance, I can provide you with the lowest interest rate in the current market, Queen Suria, as long as you need, we can reach an intention now, and then communicate slowly in private, find a suitable time, you how about?"
These words made Suria, François, and Morgiana all nod their heads. At least in terms of morality and righteousness, Adabe’s gesture is irreproachable and reasonable. He is a righteous businessman with the world in mind.
The beautiful scene spoke really well. Francois stroked his beard, and the old man's eyes flashed with wisdom. He looked at his daughter and Morgiana, and took the initiative to take the topic: "Thank you very much for your initiative. Help, Mr. Huntsman, but we already have a solution and don't need your help for now, but we still thank you."
"Ah?" Adabe showed a little astonishment on his face, which was determined to win. He couldn't believe that his sincere help would be rejected?
This is not the same as written in the script!
"The lady has issued the oracle, and the expeditionary army is safe and sound. They have successfully passed the mountain pass and are marching towards Bafeng Mountain." Mogiana said coldly: "Thank you for offering a helping hand, Mr. Adabe, but unfortunately we don't need it. "
"Uh, then, I'm sorry for interrupting you abruptly." In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Adabe's mind, and he controlled his surprise through an excellent facial expression, and expressed his joy very well And the excited expression: "Great, the expeditionary force is all right! This is really the luck of the kingdom, the humanity, and the old world! This is the best news I've heard in a while!"
"In that case, then I won't bother you anymore." Adabe bowed again, then retreated decisively and left the palace. Suria and Francois looked at each other, and the father and daughter exchanged in the air After some comments, Francois gave Suria a look, and Suria thought about it.
Morgiana had already got up and left, ready to deliver the oracle.
Soon, the oracle from the fairy in the lake swept across the city under the promulgation of Morgiana, and spread at an extremely fast speed!
Lady Oracle, the expeditionary army is fine! Now we are marching towards Bafeng Mountain smoothly!
In a few days, Lion and King Belegar will be at the foot of Eight Peaks!
The reinforcements led by Duke Francois will set off soon to support the expeditionary army!
All of a sudden, the entire city of Jean was rejoicing, and everyone took to the streets, shouting the name of the lady and the names of King Ryan and Queen Suria, and the whole street suddenly became lively.
And among the luxurious private rooms of the Kingfisher Hotel in the city, the leader of Marienburg's underground world, Adabe Huntsman, was sitting in the room with a livid face, listening to the cheers outside, his series of plans and conspiracies all fell through. !
The expeditionary army was fine, and they failed to get close to Queen Suria, and they did not complete the previously expected loan!
His trip to Gene was in vain! Not only did it come in vain, but also his plan to invest hundreds of thousands of gold marks to short Bafengshan's national debt with those big businessmen also failed, tens of thousands of gold marks would lose everything!
Adabe's face was terribly dark, seeing his father like this, his eldest son Alphonse Huntsman had never seen his father's expression so frightening, he said carefully to Adabe: "Father, what should we do next? What to do? This matter... just forget it like this?"
"Damn it!" Adabe's face was gloomy. He suppressed his anger with all his strength and motioned for his son to come over: "Get ready to pack up! Let's set off immediately and return to Marienburg!"
"Depart immediately?!" Alphonse said in surprise: "Then what about our previous layout? What about our goods? And our presents, father, this is too..."
"I don't want any more." Adabe raised his head and looked at his eldest son, who was only in his twenties this year. He was as slutty as himself and had a special preference for many noble girls. The father and son even had sex together. And wealth, Alphonse is a little unscrupulous, and even more arrogant.
He sighed lowly and motioned for Alphonse to sit over: "Alphonse, my son, I, Adaby Huntsman, have been in Marienburg for more than 20 years, and you have been with me for ten years. Even this Don’t you understand some simple truths? If you teach them face to face every day, even stubborn dwarves will learn something!”
Alphonse sat down quickly and showed that he was listening.
"For more than 20 years, I have controlled the underground world of Fort Marien, and my influence has reached every dark corner of the city. Do you know how many people hate me? How many people want me to die and replace me?" Ada Bei's face turned blue, and he taught his children: "What do you think I got here by?"
"Father..." Alphonse quickly lowered his head.
"Let me teach you a few words, in our position on the cusp of the storm, in the shadow between light and darkness, you must think twice when doing things, think about danger, think about retreat, think about change, and if you know the danger, you must avoid it. This is thinking about danger. Avoiding the limelight and hiding in a place where others don’t pay attention, this is called Situ, and after retreating, we will re-plan our plan, see where we thought wrong before, and how to correct it later, this is Sichang.” Adabe said in a deep voice. Said: "I temporarily deceived these people and made them feel that I was really here to help them, but the plan failed. If we stay here again, our real purpose may be exposed after a long time. It's really a dead end!"
"Do you think everyone is a bunch of drunks and aggressive idiots on the streets of Marienburg, who only know how to fight and kill and announce what they want to do when they come up? That's really stupid, if I'm that stupid , I’ve been dead for decades, and I won’t have you anymore!” Adabe yelled at Alphonse, “Don’t let those drunks who know how to talk all day long in taverns affect you, Alphonse, otherwise you will die before I do!"
"Damn it, it's because this news is out of date!" Alphonse knew he had no choice but to slap his thigh hard in anger: "Otherwise we must have succeeded!"
"Now, we can only rush back as soon as possible, and try to find a way to buy more government bonds to minimize losses." Adabe said cautiously: "Alphonse, remember, be careful, patient, and persistent, so we can achieve our goal The key to this is that these people must not let these people discover our true purpose and find a chance to deal with us!"
"Understood, father." Alphonse stood up immediately: "I'll pack my things right away and prepare to return!"
"This war has just begun!"
……… I am the dividing line where the war has just begun………
With the spread of the oracle of the Fairy in the Lake, the news that the expeditionary army was safe and sound caused an uproar in the whole old world. No one dared to question the accuracy of the Fairy in the Lake. Therefore, Bafeng Mountain's national debt was sold again, and the first three issues of national debt were almost sold out. So, Britannia immediately announced the issuance of the fourth batch of Bafengshan national bonds, which is expected to issue 150,000 gold marks (gold kroner).
At the same time, the first batch of Bafengshan national bonds began to be cashed out, and people can use the bonds to go through the cashing procedures in various places. There have been more than one run on Marienburg, but what the business princes did not expect was that the Knight Kingdom tried its best to ensure that The redemption was carried out normally and stably, and the market soon stabilized. Many citizens who were eager to sell their bonds cried bitterly, and the losses were not small.
The business princes of Marienburg lost a lot in the action of shorting the national debt. The largest Judon Chamber of Commerce and Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, as well as Adabe, lost 20,000 to 30,000 gold marks in this action, although they did not hurt their tendons. To such an extent, the business princes of Marienburg still cursed the doom of the expeditionary force's doom, but they could only silently bear the loss and shrink their tails, waiting for the opportunity to come back.
Most of the business princes have no intention of giving up. They have already smelled the difficulty of this great expedition and the weakness of the expeditionary force from Brittania's re-issue of national debt and dispatch of new reinforcements. They know what to do next The only thing is to wait.
In this way, as time entered November, the Eight Peaks Mountain Expeditionary Army, which had been rested, suddenly appeared at the stream outpost directly opposite to the Gate of Titans on Eight Peaks Mountain. Immediately captured the entire outpost, wiped out all the greenskin defenders here, occupied this place, and began to challenge Skarsnik in the direction of the Gate of Titans across the entire open plain.
The expeditionary army announced with practical actions that the war to recover Bafeng Mountain has just begun!
