Trafford’s Trading Club

Outside the palace, everything is peaceful, and inside the palace, everything is orderly.

The four of them sat on two sofas facing each other and ate vanilla ice cream together.

"The technology of ice cream was brought to me by a former friend on earth." Louis XXXIX put down his spoon. "It's a pity that this friend passed away a few days ago... It was also his subordinates who visited the Undersea City. I Just found out about this.”

At this time, it is enough to express condolences.

Boss Luo also stopped and said with admiration: "No wonder the ice cream truck is sold out so quickly every time. It seems that it is not just the only product, but the taste is also unforgettable."

Even the maid managed to finish her portion, which was obviously a high recognition of His Majesty's craftsmanship.

At this time, the maid lady brought a handkerchief and asked Boss Luo to wipe his mouth... The girl Liu Ge opposite was also doing the same thing.

"Let's get down to business." Louis XXXIX put down his handkerchief and said directly: "Did you help transform Raiaz's [Feituo]?"

"Yes." Boss Luo nodded directly.

His Majesty the Emperor said more directly: "I am very interested in this technology. I wonder if you are interested in transferring it to me."

Boss Luo said casually: "I wonder if the transfer your Majesty calls is a buyout, or is it simply a matter of learning?"

His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and said: "What is the price for buying out? What is the price for learning?"

"Sell the White Tower to me, and this technology can be sold to you relatively completely." Boss Luo also thought about it and said: "If you just want to learn it... use the [Holy Armor] that this lady has used before. Just exchange technology.”

"Haha..." The girl Liuge sneered when she heard this, "You are really asking for a lot of money... Are you really a businessman?"

Boss Luo was indifferent... His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, signaling Liu Ge to be quiet for now.

Louis XXXIX looked at Luo Qiu and said slowly: "I can't sell the White Tower. As for the Holy Armor technology... this is one of the top secrets of the Undersea City. Are you sure it can only be used in exchange for your technology?"

"Giant power, the ability to symbiosis between the soul and machinery, was once the crystallization of technology in a certain civilization era." The maid said calmly: "The Lemurian civilization, the era of magic energy, is also an era... The brilliant relationship between the two parties is When there is not much difference, why can't they be exchanged?"

"Ju Neng?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned and thought, "I'm afraid I am ignorant... I have never heard of a civilization like Ju Neng."

Boss Luo smiled and said: "Currently, various countries in the above world only regard the Undersea City as a fantasy legend."

His Majesty the Emperor shook his head, but then asked: "Why the buyout?"

Boss Luo said: "Until other customers bid lower than the White Tower, we will no longer sell this technology to third parties."

Black heart!

This was the girl Liuge's low voice of dissatisfaction, a muttering sound.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled bitterly and said: "I said, I can't give up the White Tower... As for the production technology of [Holy Armor], to be honest, I can't announce it. If possible, I hope you can change it to another one." condition."

Of course, it cannot be just the production technology of [Holy Armor]. If it is just the technology of [Soul and Machine Symbiosis] of the giant civilization, under the list of altars, there are many things that Undersea City can trade with.

For example, directly exchange souls... Undersea City has a population of nine million.

This also revealed a piece of free information to Luo Qiu from the side: This underwater city belongs entirely to Louis XXXIX... There are nine million people in the underwater city, and their lives and even souls are regarded as completely belonging to Louis III. Private property of the 19th century.

This is the judgment of the altar.

"In this case..." Boss Luo added at this time: "If you can give me twenty black balls like yesterday, that's fine."

At this moment, the girl Liu Ge narrowed her eyes... murderous intent instantly filled every part of the room.

But the next moment, a fierce murderous intention that was a hundred times stronger than the girl's murderous intention was like a volcanic eruption... a huge wave instantly submerged the waves in the lake.

The girl Liu Ge turned pale.

The maid picked up the teacup calmly, as if nothing had happened.

His Majesty the Emperor saw this in his eyes... But his expression was calm, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart. He slowly breathed out again, shook his head and said, "Another condition."

"You cede two million people to me." Boss Luo vaguely mentioned the third different condition, and then directly went to the fourth condition: "Or..."

"Or what?" His Majesty the Emperor's eyes narrowed... The third condition has already caused an unnatural change in his calm expression. As for the fourth optional condition?

Boss Luo didn't speak, he just glanced at His Majesty the Emperor.

In an instant, Louis XXXIX's expression changed slightly again... He looked at the other party deeply, then fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "It seems that our first negotiation was not a success."

"It doesn't matter." Boss Luo said casually: "Business may not necessarily be concluded the first time... Both parties have their own things to consider."

"Liu Ge." His Majesty the Emperor ordered at this time: "Give these two guests the treatment of state guests. Please greet them well during this time and don't neglect them."

Perhaps because of the confrontation a moment ago, the girl in silver robe was much quieter at this time... and nodded silently.

After that, Louis XXXIX left the negotiation room with the girl Liuge... As for Boss Luo and the maid, they were arranged to live in a separate courtyard of the palace.

Interestingly, Rayaz was also placed in this villa at this time.

…

"What's the fourth condition?"

In the emperor's study, Liu Ge frowned until this moment. Louis XXXIX did not speak during this entire journey. This was a rare silence for Liu Ge.

His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said: "Compared with the first three conditions, it’s okay not to mention the fourth condition... But I don’t know how much the technology of this so-called giant civilization can help me. By the way, [ How is the analysis of Asra Bai Qilin?"

The girl Liuge shook her head and said: "It's all taken apart, but none of the researchers from the First Institute can understand what's inside... except for the part about magic energy technology."

"Not at all?" Louis XXXIX said in surprise.

Liuge smiled bitterly and said: "They said that this technology might be as simple as 1+1=2, but the actual situation is that no one has ever taught them the concept of 1+1=2."

"The crystallization of a civilized era... a giant civilization." Louis Thirty-Nine leaned back in his chair. "From the time Lemuria sank in the sea to the present, we have been observing the development of the world on the ground through different methods."

"So, there is no giant civilization at all." The girl said bluntly.

"There will be no more after us." His Majesty the Emperor said abruptly: "Before us... who knew."

"You mean, this giant civilization may have been before Lemuria..." The girl Liu Ge couldn't help but said in surprise, "Is this a hypothesis... or do you really think so?"

"Just treat it as a simple hypothesis." His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said: "You need to assume the unknown and have a certain skepticism before the truth. This is the training of the royal family."

But the girl Liuge sneered and said with a sneer: "To put it nicely, you are the only one in this royal family from ancient times to the present."

"That's why Raiaz is important." His Majesty the Emperor sighed at this time: "Only he can assimilate my bloodline... After so many generations, one finally appears again."

At this time, the girl Liuge said quietly: "It's a pity that it's not me."

"I'll leave it to you to teach Raiaz." His Majesty the Emperor said softly: "Only you can do this... The Underwater City will be left to you in the next few days."

"Louis." The girl Liu Ge suddenly said: "You also felt it...the power in the negotiation room before?"

"It's very strong." His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "Perhaps it can compete with the current [Holy Armor]."

The girl Liu Ge whispered: "If we have two equal [Holy Armor] powers, maybe we can..."

"You don't know how terrifying [it] is." His Majesty the Emperor smiled bitterly, "This is not a question of how many strands are equal to the power of [Holy Armor], but a question of how [Holy Armor] is inherently lacking... Okay, Your next task is to teach Rayaz well, and put everything else aside for the time being."

"I don't know how to teach people." The girl Liuge said coldly: "I can only kill people."

"You will." Louis XXXIX looked at her... After all, she could not meet the emperor's gaze. She turned her head away, but whispered: "Come back soon..."

"I will." Louis said with a smile.

…

…

In the Undersea City, there is a dark room with a ceiling covered with various pipes. The lighting used here is an oil lamp made from a kind of lamp oil boiled from the fat of deep-sea fish. The light is yellowish.

In this place where ventilation is not very good, the smell of burning lamp oil is not very good, but that's all. After all, if you use magic tools, it will be easily detected.

A group of people gathered in this small space... There was an open space among them. At this time, four corpses were placed on the open space, one of which only had half of its body.

"Silver Moon Witch! She...she planned this action!"

"If it weren't for rescuing Long Gang, we wouldn't have died so many of our comrades... Sixty-nine people! A total of sixty-nine people, only three came back alive... We only brought back the bodies of four companions!"

"You mean, we shouldn't save Longgang?"

"If we could rescue him, it would be worth it! But now that he has not been rescued and we have invested so much, it is not worth it! This is the case this time, but what about next time? If the Royal Government publicly executes him again next time, will we save him or not? Save? Tell me?!"

After a long silence, a voice said faintly: "Unless we die, even if there is only the last one left, we will save it... Otherwise, the [Destiny] organization will lose the fundamental reason for its continued existence."

Hearing this, everyone got out of the way... At the passage that got out of the way, a one-eyed old man with a hunchback was being helped by a young man and another woman wearing a black robe and covering her head and face. , walking slowly.

Everyone in the dark basement nodded one after another, and respectfully shouted in unison: "Master Karen!"

The one-eyed old man walked slowly. When he passed the place where the corpse was placed on the ground, he paused for a moment, then knelt on the ground and muttered something that seemed to be a prayer.

After a while, the old man stood up, looked around at the people here, and then said in a deep voice: "The original intention of creating [Destiny] is to liberate the people in Undersea City from the emperor's box and let those who have become slaves The people of Undersea City can gain true freedom... This is the founding concept of the [Destiny] organization. All of you will know the [true history] when you join the organization, and you will better understand the relationship between [Destiny] and The emperor's confrontation is such a difficult road! I asked you back then, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how many difficulties and despair you have to face, whether you are ready to face them head-on."

Master Karen paused and then said loudly: "Now, tell me how you answered me back then!"

They acted in unison instantly, held their heads high and held their chests high, covering their hearts with their hands, and responded loudly: "The mission will be achieved!"

Master Karen nodded, "Remember what you said before and today... Now, who will tell me how much we lost after this operation?"

A man walked out quickly at this time, talking carefully about the rescue operation, how many members were lost, how many hidden identities, materials and strongholds were destroyed.

The man spoke very carefully, but the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heavy.

Finally, the man who made the report suddenly changed the topic, "Master Karen, although we have lost so much manpower and material resources this time to save Longgang... But in the final analysis, the reason why Longgang was arrested by the Royal Government is The arrest is entirely to rescue Dr. Joachim from the underground mine!"

"What do you want to say?" Master Karen frowned.

"In order to rescue Dr. Joachio, we even sacrificed the layout of the underground mine for so many years...Master Karen, I respect every decision you make! But, for a researcher of the Royal Government, it is OK to give up. Is the opportunity to save our comrades trapped in the mine worth it? I need a reason! A reason for you to make such a decision! Otherwise, I won’t accept it!”

"Are you questioning me?" Master Karen said in a deep voice again.

The man said sadly: "My wife and children fell into the hands of the Royal Government because of my exposure. They are in the underground mine, and their lives are uncertain. I suffer every day...in order to open up the underground mine and save them." , in the past few years, I have never dared to let myself rest! Whenever I close my eyes, I seem to see the painful expressions of my wife and children who have been tortured. They may have been unable to hold on for a long time, or even... Master! I just want You know why! Please tell me!!”

"This matter has not yet been announced... I'm sorry, please understand." Master Karen shook his head: "This and everything are for our righteousness."

"Then let her tell me!"

After the man said that, he rushed forward and grabbed the black-robed masked woman next to Master Karen. "Tell me! What is it for! Why do we have to pay such a heavy price to rescue Joa?" Fix it! Just because he is your husband! Just say it! Kaiya!"

He tore open the woman's black robe with force, and it was Kaia.
