Chapter 1819 Gathering Wool

Kieran's tone was low and indifferent as usual.

But such words made the fourteen southern congressmen tremble all over.

Even Atfen, the titular leader of the Fourteen Southern Councilors, was no exception.

This southern congressman, who has always been known for his gentle tone, had to take a deep breath at this time to calm his turbulent heart.

"He..."

"Are you sure it's Him?"

Atfen's voice no longer had the usual gentleness, only heaviness and seriousness remained.

Qin Ran didn't speak.

He just glanced at Atfen and remained silent.

Atfen was stunned.

Then he reacted.

The question he just asked was really bad!

Not only did it reveal that they knew little about that being, but it also revealed that they had no understanding of the situation in Etantinople at all.

There is no doubt that they are passive at this moment.

What's even worse is that it was his mistake, and no one else would bear such a mistake.

In fact, this is also true.

The other members of Congress who had just reacted at this moment were looking at him with "disappointment" and "blaming" eyes.

What a bunch of pretentious bastards!

Atfen cursed in his heart, and then sighed slightly.

Careless!

The new 'god' that appeared caused him great chaos.

However, as a leader among southern congressmen, Atfen quickly regained his composure.

"Your Highness Colin, what do you need?"

Atfen asked.

"A message from the gods, what do you think you can exchange for it, Councilor Atfen?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

When it comes to ‘gods’, any information is of extremely high value.

Even, in some respects, it can be regarded as a priceless treasure.

Ordinary Kimpton certainly cannot be used as a trading chip.

At least it must be a rare level of magic equipment to be used as a bargaining chip.

But precisely because of this, Atfen was in a dilemma.

Rare level magic equipment is not a piece of cake.

If you give too much, he will feel distressed.

Given less?

It is simply impossible to exchange the desired information.

Therefore, after a slight hesitation, Atfen said this.

"Your Highness Colin, can we discuss this?"

"Can."

Kieran nodded.

Afterwards, the phantoms of the fourteen southern congressmen fell into a state of sluggishness, while the phantom of Gelsak's face became increasingly ugly.

Obviously, with the hints of discord revealed before and their "understanding" of Etantinoburg, the southern congressmen chose to completely break their faces.

Monte looked at Gersak's shadow and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Your Excellency Gersak, sometimes, fighting alone is not a brave man."

Konomi said with a hint of something in his words.

Gersak glanced at the close minister and closed his eyes without speaking.

But deep down in his heart, the superior evil spirit gave the close minister a thumbs up.

Well done!

It was thinking about how to quietly set up this line with its boss without making people suspicious, and the near minister spoke.

If his identity hadn't been changed to Gersak instead of Atantin VI, the upper-level evil spirit would definitely show his "long-faced joy" and praise the other party for "won the hearts of everyone".

The old demon hunter on one side didn't pay attention to this.

The old demon hunter, who had no favorable impressions of the 'Secret Order of Silent Night', now only cared about 'him'.

The old demon hunter looked at Kieran.

Qin Ran pointed at the phantoms of the fourteen council members in the south. Immediately, the old demon hunter nodded clearly and waited patiently.

Neither Kieran nor the old demon hunter was worried that the fourteen southern congressmen would refuse.

After all, this is about a 'god' who is very close at hand.

No organization will say no.

Not to mention an organization like the 'Secret Order of Silent Night'.

…

It's still the private secret communication array.

Except for Atfen, among the fourteen southern congressmen, no one spoke first, looking at each other.

The situation before us is already quite obvious.

It is absolutely impossible for the snake sect and the heir to the kingdom to easily inform them of the information about the 'god', and a huge price must be paid.

But for them, who had just gathered 280 real magic props and equipment, they didn't want to bleed any more.

Therefore, after looking at each other, these councilors looked at Atfen again.

Even though Aitfen accounts for the majority of the 280 real magic props and equipment that have just been compensated, at this time, it does not prevent them from continuing to expect Aitfen to take the majority.

You know, the other party occupies the richest Cheka Bay in the south.

Not to mention anything else, the slave trade alone is enough to make Du Ding extremely rich.

Feeling the eyes of his allies, Atfen couldn't help but darken his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still want me to continue to take the lead?"

Atfen asked angrily.

"Shouldn't it be?"

"The annual income from Chika Bay that you occupy, Etfen, is more than double that of all of us combined!"

The impatient congressman spoke directly.

"That's right."

"If I occupy Cheka Bay, I will pay for all the fees in exchange for the information this time."

"yes."

“Compared to Cheka Bay’s income, what is this information fee?”

Other council members nodded in agreement.

Among them, several congressmen who usually seem to be in harmony began to ridicule Atfen.

There was no one present who was not jealous of Etfen, who occupied Cheka Bay.

Cheekah Bay isn’t just about Kimpton, it’s about…population!

To some extent, the latter is more important to these MPs.

Hoo, hoho!

Atfen's breathing couldn't help but become heavier.

If it weren't for all the shadows in front of him, he would definitely make these bastards understand what life is worse than death.

Chika Bay has an enviable income and population.

But he built these little by little.

He invested countless efforts in building a small fishing village into a large port. He has been busy with this project for almost ten years. Now that it is built, everyone is jealous of him.

But what about the beginning?

But he didn't forget the ridicule.

Damn guys!

When this incident is over, it will be your death!

Atfen's heart boiled with murderous intent.

But he remained calm on the surface.

"I can pay for the information fee this time."

"but……"

"Only I can know the content of the information."

Atfen said this.

"What do you mean, Etfen?"

"Have you forgotten our alliance?"

The surrounding MPs shouted.

Atfen didn't care, he sneered several times.

"Now that we know about the alliance."

"Then what did you mean just now?"

"Since I want to make a big enough contribution, then the benefits will naturally be mine."

"If you want to know the content of that message, then show enough sincerity."

"otherwise……"

Atfen didn't say anything in the end.

However, the meaning could not be more obvious.

For a moment, all the members fell silent.

…

This time, the wait was long enough.

Three minutes later, the minister brought a chair for Kieran.

"Your Highness, please sit down."

"You are so clever. A simple sentence caused them to fall into internal strife."

"I guess they're trying to strangle each other right now."

Konomi whispered.

"They were originally a temporary alliance."

"There is no family affection, friendship, and even interests are not pure enough."

"It's only a matter of time before things collapse."

After Qin Ran sat down, he answered smoothly.

It must be said that Monte was a very discerning guy. While listening to Kieran's words, he took a cup of tea from the dining table after Kieran sat down.

The superior evil spirit looked at the dog-legged Monte and raised his eyebrows secretly, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Want to impress the Boss with such behavior?

Innocent!

Only those who work hard like me and work hard can be valued by the Boss.

Then, it immediately contacted its Boss through the contract.

‘Boss, the specialty dishes of this restaurant are stewed venison and antler soup. I have already arranged it. ’

‘After the task here is completed, you can enjoy it immediately. ’

‘The Temple of War? ’

‘Don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements. ’

'It will definitely make those guys 'unforgettable'! ’

The upper-level evil spirit that communicated with his boss through the power of the contract looked at Monte with more and more disdain.

Superficial closeness can never compare to the bond between our souls!

Monte seemed to have noticed the disdain of the superior evil spirit.

However, the minister didn't care.

Hasn't he been looked at like this often enough?

The palace ministers, noble clan heads, bodyguard knights, and almost everyone he knew looked at him this way.

Even some ordinary maids would do this quietly.

But he doesn't care!

What happened to Rigoletto?

What happened to the thigh hug?

Doesn't he have the ability?

He just hasn't found a place where he can really use it.

Now!

He will soon become the Minister of Life.

He will impress everyone!

He will make His Highness a wise king that surpasses His Majesty the Sixth Generation!

The jaws of those guys who used to be underestimated were frightened.

The close minister, who had the desire to be a capable minister, served Qin Ran more respectfully. He took a piece of fruit and gently peeled off the skin. If his fingers were not stained with the pulp, he put it into Qin Ran's hand.

Other fruits and foods are similar.

After Kieran ate about one-third of the food on the table, those sluggish shadows finally returned to their original state.

"I have kept you waiting, Your Highness Colin."

Atfen greeted again.

Although his voice had returned to that kind feeling, Qin Ran was keenly aware of the coldness and confrontation between the southern congressmen.

It was obvious that the private conversation these congressmen had just had was not pleasant.

"Have you figured out what to exchange for it?"

Qin Ran waved his hand and asked.

"We will release some rare-level magic props and some 'evil remnants'."

Atfen answered.

"What's a portion?"

"There are also 'evil remnants'..."

"Are you kidding me?"

As he spoke, Qin Ran leaned forward, a coldness appearing in his eyes.

The indifferent breath suddenly became sharp, like a sword hanging in the air, approaching the opponent's throat.

Due to his identity, Monte did not know some information about the 'evil remnants', but this did not prevent him from taking the appropriate actions as he had sworn to be Qin Ran's capable minister in governing the world.

A musket appeared in Monte's hand.

The narrow muzzle of the gun is not for lethality, but for communication.

“I hope Councilor Aitfen can give our Highness a reasonable explanation.”

"Otherwise, I will let you and all of you understand that the dignity of the Serpent Faction and the heir to the Royal House of Etandin cannot be insulted."

Monte stood next to Kieran and chuckled, his mouth slightly grinning, revealing his rotten teeth, as if he was a vicious dog protecting his master, ready to devour anyone he chose.

"Don't get me wrong, Your Highness Colin, we have no ill intentions."

"We have already paid a huge price to compensate you."

"And this time I buy information from you...every one of our reserves has been exhausted."

"After all, rare magic props are not a piece of cake. They can be found everywhere."

The southern congressmen did not speak, but Atfen still spoke.

Kieran seemed to agree with Atfen's statement and nodded slightly, but his tone was still stiff.

"What you said is true."

"But that doesn't mean I understand."

"Do you really not know what 'evil remnants' are?"

"Or are you testing the intelligence system of the Snake Faction and the Royal Family of Etantine?"

At the last sentence, Kieran's voice became sharper, and Monte beside him immediately raised the flare gun in cooperation. Obviously, all it took was a look from Kieran for him to pull the trigger.

"of course not!"

"Perhaps these 'evil remnants' have some drawbacks that we have to be concerned about."

"But for that 'Misty' crown prince, there is no need for it."

Atfen smiled, trying to lighten the mood.

"Can you guarantee that the 'evil remnants' you provide are original?"

"If I can, I don't need rare-level magic items. I only need these 'evil remnants', ten of them will be enough."

Qin Ran, who was no longer new here, already knew some of the rules of the dungeon world in front of him.

‘Evils’ can eat each other.

But apart from the fact that swallowing the initial ‘evil alien’ can gain the greatest benefits without any disadvantages, swallowing the ‘evil alien residue’ that has grown up will cause more or less disadvantages.

After all, the ‘evils’ in this copy world do not have the digestive ability of ‘gluttony’.

In fact, if possible, Kieran wouldn't mind getting more 'evil remnants'.

But he will never reveal his trump card.

after all--

This is the time to gather the wool!

"Even if we add up to the original 'evil remnants', we haven't seen ten of them."

"We are willing to give you thirty pieces of rare magic equipment and an equal number of 'evil remnants', Your Highness."

Atfen smiled bitterly and quoted his price.

"thirty?"

"Too little."

"At least fifty pieces, and at the same time the 'evil remnants' can be reduced appropriately."

Qin Ran shook his head.

"Thirty rare magic props and equipment is our limit."

"However, the 'Evil Remains' can give you fifty."

Atfen's bitter laughter became even more obvious.

Thirty rare-level magic props are naturally not their bottom line, but at this time, the lower the better.

He had even thought about how to 'discuss' with the snake sect and royal heir in front of him.

The surrounding southern congressmen are also prepared for a protracted war.

However, Atfen and all the southern congressmen were shocked. After just one quotation, the snake sect and royal heir stopped and looked at them coldly.

That kind of gaze seemed to be looking at some kind of fat-headed and big-eared creature.

"madness."

"Hopeless."

"Wait to die."

After saying that, Qin Ran stood up, turned around and walked out.
