The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

Teutonic was sincere and looked very sincere, but Hardy wanted to laugh a little.

The Kiwanis Club...the Masons to be exact, is really well-connected.

In the original world line, although he received tasks from the Masons from time to time, if you insist on saying that this secret society has any amazing deeds or has any great contributions, no one can tell.

During several major events, they were invisible and had no sense of existence.

Even killing the World Mother Tree, the Masons' most ambitious undertaking, has not made any progress.

Of course... this can be explained by a 'hundred-year plan', and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Hardy looked at Teutonic and said with a smile: "Let me think about this again."

"You don't think much of our Masonry?" Teutonic asked.

"Nothing. I think stonemasons will be great and will lead the development of the entire human society sooner or later." Hardy paused and said, "But I have already pledged my allegiance to the Jeanne family."

Teutonic waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. We care about the entire human race and are not limited by nationality or fiefdom."

"So, what do I get and what do I have to give?"

Teutonic smiled and said: "How can we talk about interests when seeking a future for the human race!"

hiss!

Hardy took a deep breath: "You mean, you want me to work for you and you don't give me anything?"

When Teutonic heard this, his face became expressionless.

He had no idea that Hardy would be so aggressive and directly reveal his subtext.

I thought that young people were easier to deceive, but I didn't expect that the other person looked straightforward, but was actually very cunning.

Teutonic laughed: "Aren't our friendships and connections considered benefits? Mr. Hardy, you underestimate our Kiwanis Club too much,"

"Are there any Kiwanis in the North?"

"Yes, quite a lot."

"Then it's actually very simple for your Masons to mediate the Civil War." Hardy looked at Teutonic with a smile.

Teutonic was speechless now.

The Masons themselves were a secret society born out of the Ajiaka Empire.

In this country, the Masons have the greatest influence.

But even so, they had no way to mediate the Civil War.

Because everyone and every family has their own interests and demands.

The Masons simply cannot strike an effective balance in it that would satisfy everyone.

"That's it, Your Excellency Teutonic Lord." Hardy stood up: "Our coalition forces are about to set off, please forgive me for taking a step first."

"Wait a minute." Teutonic continued: "If you are not interested in Masonry, then let's do something practical."

Hardy thought for a while and sat down again.

Seeing that Hardy did not leave immediately, Teutonic thought that this man was more interested in interests.

Not joining the Masons' Guild is mainly because there is no profit motive.

So now he will give the other party benefits.

"Are you interested in joining our Ajiaka Empire?" Teutonic asked.

Hardy raised his eyebrows, looking a little unhappy.

Seeing the change in Hardy's expression, Teutonic immediately said: "Don't be angry in a hurry, listen to the conditions I gave."

"First of all, you will get a territory that is about three times larger than Hukaro City." Teutonic said with confidence: "Although you need to develop it yourself, I will give you three hundred gray orc slaves privately, and in addition There are three hundred pioneer gold."

This condition is indeed good for the average pioneering lord.

But just having a territory without citizens is a very troublesome thing.

Now it is obvious that what the Teutons were given should be wasteland.

No output is even more troublesome.

Hardy shook his head. The other party seemed to be sincere, but in fact he was not sincere.

Seeing that Hardy's expression was still not happy, Teutonic sighed, and then said: "In addition, I will personally confer you the title of Marquis. If you take root here in Aijaka and have more than three children, I will add more How about giving a piece of territory to your family?"

"It sounds good, but I still decided to follow the glory of the Saint of Light." Hardy stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Teutonic, for your appreciation. I'm sorry."

With that, Hardy left.

Teutonic sat quietly, and after a while he sighed softly: "What a pity, Nightmare Knight."

After a while, Naqie came in from the outside and said, "I saw Hardy leaving, but it didn't work?"

Teutonic nodded.

Naqie looked happy, then changed back to his original state and said: "That's a shame, otherwise he would have become one of our most powerful weapons."

Looking at Naqie, Teutonic smiled meaningfully.

Then Teutonic looked at the names in his notebook, and finally he circled Hardy's name.

Write one word: TBD.

When Hardy returned to his tent, he had not rested for a few minutes when Madam Sissi came looking for him.

"What does Teutonic want from you?"

Madam Sissi sat opposite Hardy and asked in a low voice.

Hardy picked up a book and replied: "He wants me to join the Ajiaka Empire."

"You will definitely not agree." Mrs. Sissi's expression was a little nervous.

"Of course not." Hardy laughed.

Not to mention Teutonic's impure mind, he seemed to want to use himself as cannon fodder, and the conditions he gave were not very good.

It is very troublesome to have to open up desolate and uninhabited land by yourself.

This is something that takes two or three generations to accomplish.

"I know you won't either." Mrs. Sissi smiled happily and then left.

Hardy could tell that Madam Sissi seemed a little worried about her surrendering to the Ajiaka Empire.

But it’s normal to think about it. He is quite strong and would be willing to win over any country.

Then Hardy prepared to close his eyes and rest for a while.

But at this time, Xixi shouted outside: "Sir Hardy, do you want to take a rest? I have something important to report to you."

"Please come in."

After Xixi came in, she said directly: "Sir Hardy, we have a problem that we need you to deal with."

"What trouble?"

"I wonder if you still remember the gray barrier you encountered in Gardes City?"

Copy?

Hardy narrowed his eyes: "You mean, someone is going to attack us again?"

"No." Bing Xixi shook his head: "This time we are launching a similar attack on the enemy."

Oh... Hardy discovered that Bian Xixi was really lucky.

Although he was not the first to trigger the dungeon, judging from his growth curve, all kinds of good things really happened to him.

"You mean, let our army surround that place?"

Xixi shook his head: "There is a limit on the number of people in that barrier, and only ten people can enter. And if the army passes by, it will be easy for them to find it and then escape."

I see.

Hardy understood: "You mean, let me follow you there and help you sweep the formation?"

Xixi nodded vigorously: "That's what I mean."
