Chapter 135 It’s OK
In fact, speaking of this, the one who has the most say is the current captain of the Royal Guard, Eugent.
That is, Riku's father.
Eugent himself felt a little embarrassed about this.
But there was nothing he could do.
The soldiers were fighting the enemy outside, and the people were also living frugally because of the war.
So much so that Zelen didn't even think about it and directly told the Ministry of National Defense that they must not let go of any dry food bag, water bottle on any enemy, and any warehouse where the enemy stored food.
If you can rob, rob, and if you really can't rob, then consider burning!
After all, these pig-headed people eat quite well, so Eugent heard that the soldiers on the front line looked like they had found a treasure.
Of course, when he met an old friend, Mike, he also joked about this matter.
Mike: "I said you sneaked into my little shabby house today, come out..."
Eugent: "I'll state in advance that I'm on vacation today."
Mike: "Haha!"
Eugent: "So I came here today to buy the pig-headed man's dry food packs, and you must have them here, you must have them."
Mike: "I said you... yes. I have them. But I don't really want to sell them to you."
Eugent: "What do you mean?"
Mike: "You are the captain of the palace guards. Eating the pig-headed man's dry food packs... isn't it a bit shameful for your status?"
Eugent: "You told me that status is useless these days. Filling your stomach is the most practical thing."
Mike: "Are you kidding me? Will you starve to death?"
Eugent: "Can't you buy me a pack to try?"
As an old friend and a partner in the previous republican coup, Eugent knew that Mike wanted to mess with him. After all, he had a niece who became the queen, and Mike had long wanted to find him to have a good talk.
Mike: "Okay! But are you so poor that you have to eat the pig-headed people's dry food packs? To be honest, I don't think any country's army's dry food packs or canned food can be considered delicious."
Eugent: "Delicious? You have really high standards. Even here, everyone maintains the same standard. The best is edible and not deadly."
Mike: "Is it the same in the palace?"
Eugent: "Do you think Zelen is just talking? He was a little better two days ago, and he is directly on par with the front-line soldiers. What the soldiers eat, Zelen is eating now."
Mike: "You really have to lead by example... Does your niece have any objections?"
Eugent: "Because of the opinions, there are new standards now."
Mike: "That old bastard Naiser should Look, look at what kind of good grandson he has. "
Eugent: "Just give me a whole day's dry food bag, don't charge so much polat."
Mike: "Do you think it's possible?"
Eugent: "I..."
Mike: "One price, one day's dry food bag, 400 polat."
Eugent: "You are too cruel, aren't you?"
Mike: "Who made you my friend? This is the price that only friends have, the price that only friends have when they look up to and respect friends."
Eugent: "You... OK, I'll give it."
Mike: "That's right. I'm very poor here."
Eugent: "You are not ashamed to say..."
In fact, Eugent also knows that Mike's Chamber of Commerce, as a place to "dispose of garbage", really doesn't make much money.
In addition, there are not as many customers as before, and the sales work is quite difficult. And most of the customers are in an unconscious state with white light in their eyes, and the difficulty of communicating with them is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
As for the remaining objects that can be traded...none of them seems to be easy to deal with.
Just the Holy Church that seems to be the easiest to talk to and very good at doing.
Do you really think that the church must be a very gentle and elegant place?
Don't even think about it.
This Holy Church is now trying to reunify the human regime and establish a church group of the Kingdom of God on earth.
Such a group is not a place that simply emphasizes culture no matter how you look at it.
Not to mention that the current Holy Church has found a city called Kapok on the southeast coast of the Aisha Continent as its base for restoration, and is ambitiously carrying out its own plan for nation-building.
Of course, to be honest, Eugente is not optimistic about these guys who will die if they don't worship God.
He even hopes that they will encounter a large group of cultists, and then be collectively sacrificed by the cultists.
But this... is unlikely.
Compared with other churches that will die if they don't worship God every day, the Holy Church is a church force that knows to spend more time on other things.
Especially the army of the Holy Church, although there is a huge gap between them and the army of the Krulod Empire, especially in terms of heavy weapons, it is impossible to compare with the Krulod Empire; but the light weapons level of the army of the Holy Church is not worse than that of the Krulod Empire, and even more outstanding in some places.
Moreover, the Holy Church is the second force in the world, and the first force to use fire potion weapons on a large scale. Their use of fire potion weapons and related tactics can be regarded as the "prophet" of the world.
In short, it is meaningless to curse the Holy Church. After all, I am not a very powerful magician, and I don't know how to release spells.
Instead of cursing, it is better to expect the Holy Church to hit a wall.
So he spent money to buy the pig-headed man's dry food pack, and Eugent returned to his guard room to study the nutritional content inside.
Paula: "Uncle, what are you..."
Eugent: "I just bought the pig-headed man's dry food pack from the Chamber of Commerce. Just this box cost me 400 pola."
Paula: "Uh."
As a private arms dealer, 400 pola can purchase two assault rifles in Ruger Company. So, Paula's face showed a very embarrassed smile.
Eugent: "It's just right that you and Camelia came back from outside, let's eat together and see if my spending this time is worth it."
Compared to Eugent's "practical activities", Mike looked at the pola in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head.
Mike: "I'm at a loss."
Clara: "Father?"
Mike: "If I had known, I should have asked Eugent for 100 more polas."
Clara: "Father, this is unnecessary, right? Tricking him..."
Mike: "I can choose not to trick others, but I must trick Eugent."
Clara: "This..."
Mike: "You know Eugent, I forgot when I first met him, and I know he is the illegitimate descendant of the royal family."
Clara: "Is it because of this reason, or do you just want to punish your former assistant?"
Mike: "Who told him to force the position of Prime Minister on me? Now is the time for him to pay back. And, Clara, if you have time, train Marietta more."
Clara: "Huh?"
Mike: "Although she is a family member from another party, she is worth our training. What's more, we need a closer cooperative relationship with the family behind Marietta."
Clara: "Well... I can. But..."
Mike: "We can't pin our hopes on a granddaughter. Although Marietta is not from our family, she will give birth to more outstanding talents who can expand our Bai family's business in the future."
Clara: "I understand."
Mike: "There are not many people in our family now. The traditional family development model that relies on blood ties is not suitable for us. We should absorb more outstanding talents from the outside world for our use. This is the important purpose of our Bai family to open a chamber of commerce."
Clara: "Then Marietta's family..."
Mike: "It's not like I didn't send my granddaughter there. They will understand about this. After all, they are not an ordinary family. The actual benefits obtained under the reputation are what they value more."
Clara: "Yes."
Although I don't quite understand why my father didn't call my granddaughter Camelia back, but specially hired a descendant of a family that has no blood relationship with me and is even a competitor to some extent as a temporary worker on my side.
But she thought about it carefully, and realized that her father might want to complete the cooperation with the Stum family within the remaining years of his life, so as to get the Stum family out of the control of the Savangchi family...
