Pirate Kingship
Chapter 317 Professional Substitute, the Dust Settles
"Come in!"
The Archbishop and Fox thought it was the staff of the Lighthouse Federation who wanted to see them.
But to their surprise, the person who pushed in the door turned out to be the protagonist of their conversation, the stumbling block in trouble - [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor.
Fox's expression suddenly changed, he tried hard to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes, and scolded coldly:
"What are you doing here? Mr. Byron, this is a private party. You are not welcome. Please leave."
Byron paid no attention to him. He walked straight to the archbishop and stood in front of him. He caressed his chest and saluted gracefully, making people feel like they were refreshed:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I picked up a wallet outside the door, and when I saw that it had your name written on it, I hurriedly brought it to you.
Please check to see if there is anything missing. "
As he spoke, he respectfully handed a fine deerskin wallet to the other party's hand.
"Wallet? My real body is still in St. Peter's Cathedral in the Old World. How could I leave my wallet here?"
You must know that this is [Level Zero Holy Relic·Pharos Lighthouse]. Except for limited managers and council members, no one else has the authority to bring in physical objects.
But the name "Barbotilla" is really written on it.
The archbishop looked puzzled and subconsciously reached out to take it and open it.
There was not even a copper plate with the smallest face value in this wallet, only a solitary piece of white paper.
Just when he thought he had been fooled by the young man in front of him, he unexpectedly saw a few lines of elegant aristocratic calligraphy on the white paper.
"Special grade spices: twenty kilograms.
Raw nugget gold: three thousand pounds.
Ink tree plantation in Yucatan (deed): fifteen hundred acres.
"
Judging from the format, this is clearly a very valuable gift list of "specialties" from the Bantaan Islands!
"this"
The archbishop's heartbeat could barely detect a beat.
Not every one of the 98 red archbishops in the church's cardinals is a true fifth-level legend who has his eyes set above his head.
But like many kingdoms [King Titles], they rely on a bishop's ring and the church's bottom-level authority in the legal system to reach the fifth level.
The ring belongs to the church, not to a particular family.
Once he leaves office in the future, his family will still be, at best, just a small mid-level family on the mainland that is not too inconspicuous.
This fortune was already considered substantial to him.
Byron looked at Barbotilla's face, smiled and continued to confirm:
"Sir, this is indeed the wallet you just lost, right? There are too many things in the wallet, and I see that you didn't bring a waiter with you.
We have entrusted the staff of the Federation to expedite everything to your house with the help of the lighthouse network.
I hope that when the meeting is over, you will be able to see this collection of lost and recovered possessions when you return home.
Congratulations, Your Excellency the Archbishop.
It is the Lord’s blessing that enabled you to go on a business trip for a noble cause and not suffer any property losses in vain. "
The archbishop suddenly felt a little hot in the room, and unconsciously pulled his collar. He looked at the smiling young man in front of him and asked with a slight stutter:
"The last line written on this, is there still two merchant ships in the wallet I lost?
Is it the kind of tall and large merchant ship that I understand, with a displacement of at least several hundred tons? "
Snap!
Byron clapped his hands:
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, the archbishop is the archbishop. What you described is exactly the same. They are two Galenic sailing ships with a displacement of 300 tons.
These two merchant ships happened to be picked up by us. I think it will not be convenient for you to take them back.
It just so happens that our West Wind Express is very short of ships recently.
How about you become a shareholder of West Wind Express as the owner of these two merchant ships?
Dividends are distributed regularly on the first of every month, and I promise it will never be lower than this number."
Byron smiled and gestured with three fingers.
The red archbishop couldn't help but his eyes were shining. He stuffed the wallet into his arms naturally and nodded four times on his chest:
“Ahem, the Ten Commandments of Man and God say: You must not steal, you must give others what they deserve; you must not covet, you must believe that what the Lord gives you is rich.
You must not bear false witness; you must speak the truth.
Mr. Byron, that's absolutely correct. This is the wallet I dropped.
You are truly a gentleman of high moral character. I believe that the Lord will always favor people of high moral character like you. "
Looking at Byron with great satisfaction, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
Every look seems to say: young people know how to do things, and your road is getting wider and wider.
Moreover, everything he says and does from the moment he enters the door is full of elegant and sophisticated aristocratic style.
If it weren't for the "life" of this sea hunter on the desks of countless big shots in the Bantaan Islands, they might have suspected that he was a child of a nobleman who had been carefully cultivated.
He was much better than Fox, who was an army officer and could only tell the truth. Governor Fox of Havana.
Young people have a future.
Obviously, Byron at this time had already met the aristocratic demeanor required by [Ritual: Blood Feast Holy Grail], and it was far beyond the standard.
The red archbishop stood up and patted Byron on the shoulder. There was no trace of murderous intention in him that was ready to remove the stumbling block. His face was kind and friendly:
"Mr. Byron is obviously a man of extraordinary intelligence and a clever mind, and Edward IV is lucky to have you to assist him in running the colony.
It's not like some idiots who only bring chaos to the Apostolic Church.
I believe you will satisfy everyone and handle this matter beautifully. I guess you two have something to say, so I won’t interrupt. "
After speaking with a warning in his eyes, he glanced meaningfully at Fox, the Governor of Havana beside him, then turned around and walked away.
At that glance there was no doubt:
"Look, these two are both governors, but why are there such big differences in their lives?
The bishop was very happy that Byron was able to pick up gold and make money, but if anyone dared to hinder his continuous "picking up money" in the future, the bishop would be very unhappy. "
Not only can you complete the tasks assigned above, but you can also make a lot of money without making any principled mistakes, so why not do it?
This is the real way to run errands, it’s comfortable!
Byron bowed slightly behind him and promised:
"Your Excellency, Archbishop, please rest assured that I know the rules best and will never cause any trouble to your Excellencies in the College of Cardinals. I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied."
I just added another sentence silently in my heart:
‘I hope you will satisfy me in the future too. ’
Holding the [First Class Holy Relic·The First Stock], every penny he bribes now can be converted into shares of the Holy Infant Society, the traditional sect to which the archbishop belongs.
When the time comes to fish for Dad, a rope around the archbishop's neck will inevitably be indispensable.
Byron also did not expect that one day he would be able to "acquire" the traditional church with more than 50% of the shares that had accumulated for thousands of years.
I just hope that after using them in the future and breaking up the table again, the current investment can be recovered.
It is completely satisfying to use the "sell" ability of stocks to extract treasures or extraordinary abilities of high enough value from them.
Anyway, whoever loses money will not lose money. As for the various "interests" generated when it is stored in their hands? Commonly known as: white prostitution.
Until the archbishop walked out of the room, Fox, who was stunned, could not close his mouth.
"Here. He is a stumbling block that prevents us from completing our mission. Bishop, how can you surrender to the enemy so unprincipledly when you come back?"
Moreover, is this really the way to give gifts? "
If Byron's record of killing the fourth level was three levels higher than his, then his ability to give gifts was at least thirty levels higher than his.
This guy really deserves to be the governor before he is twenty!
Then, he saw that hateful guy turning to look at him, his handsome face filled with malice, and he slowly said:
"Governor Fox, it's time to talk about the business between us."
Feeling the pressure on Byron's body, he subconsciously took a half step back and swallowed:
"What business? What business do I have to discuss with you?"
Byron sat carelessly in the Archbishop's original position, crossed one leg, and looked at him up and down, as if looking at a piece of fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
It took me a while to play with the taste:
"What business? Of course it's your little life.
If you are honest and don't tell secrets, my throne as the number one in record can be sold.
Our Pioneer Pilot Military Dispatch Company already has professional shooting services, so it is not completely out of the question to privately give up part of the merits to Castile.
It depends on whether Mr. Governor is sincere or not.
Anyway, even if the deal fails, I will at most lose some money, and Mr. Governor, who failed in his mission, may lose more than his own life. "
The current strength of the Kingdom of Byron and Hetings does not allow them to use the "protection rights", so even if they get the first place, it is just for show.
All he needs now is an "immunity" to eliminate outside interference, and by the way, he can remove the word "acting governor" from "acting governor".
The extra achievements might as well be exchanged for more benefits.
Fox was shocked.
Needless to say, Byron knew that he would end badly in the future.
Especially when he suddenly lost Archbishop Barbotilla as his backer, his own solution that was not a solution in the first place became a dream.
The other party's knife was clearly on his neck.
But he still scratched his neck and said loudly:
“We Castilians never compromise, and we will only take what we want with dignity and dignity. You are insulting my bravery and loyalty!
I will never sell the interests of the kingdom in exchange for some agency services.
Even if I, Fox, die in battle, even if I break the record for the shortest term as governor and become a military disgrace, I will never give you money to fight on my behalf! "
Then he looked at the closed door guiltily to make sure there was no one outside. Then he took two steps forward, with an old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and asked in a low voice:
"Then what. Can it be a little cheaper?
I just took office and haven't had time to fish it out yet. "
Byron just handed him another note.
The content of this quotation is almost exactly the same as that of the "local specialty" gift list, except that the quantity has tripled!
Also added an additional one:
“Delivery to 20 lighthouse sequence craftsmen and all their family members within one month.
and ten percent of the country’s annual migration population. "
"hiss--!"
Fox gasped at Byron's appetite.
Although he knew very well that signing this thing was equivalent to tying a noose around his neck, and sooner or later he would strangle himself bit by bit.
But it is better to die later than to die early.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and signed his name on it.
Everyone was happy.
Byron patted his shoulder:
"A wise choice, happy cooperation!"
Overseas is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.
It's a pity that this human relationship belongs to Byron, but it was Fox who paid the bill.
But who made him and his thugs lose?
What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table.
Since Byron is willing to show mercy and give him a chance, how can he not pay a heavy price?
He killed his people and took his money. In the end, he still has to thank Byron for not killing him and say thank you to Byron.
Although, he will inevitably be skinned and eaten in the future.
So far, the dispute over "mad blood disaster" and "protection and education rights" has been settled in advance.
Minor matters are held in large meetings, major matters are held in small meetings, and particularly important matters are not held.
The small meeting for the distribution of interests among the three stakeholders has ended, and the remaining meetings are naturally without any waves.
Byron also got what he wanted and became the biggest winner behind the scenes.
