Compared to Rogge, an unreliable fellow member of the same family, Closide trusts Sasisolik more in many aspects. Although both of them are here for wealth, at least Sasisolik's temperament is more cautious and knows first. When looking at the current situation to determine what should be done and what should not be done, Rogge is simply a typical example of taking action first and reviewing later. He is a man with high talent and low skill who often messes up some simple tasks, but this Rogge actually still does it on weekdays. Ridiculing Sasisolik as a coward who only dares to hide in the shadows and rely on sneak attacks to win.
Shortly after Sasisolik accepted the order and resigned, Croside also received the news of Eunogia's invitation from a vampire through a hidden channel. He had just returned from the Kalsemmen Empire and the jurisprudence The businessman couldn't sit still. Although it was already getting late, Croside was energetic and didn't mind staying up late. After thinking about it, he nodded and used the one-time teleportation magic device given by the vampire messenger to arrive directly. Eunogia's mansion.
Under the leadership of the maid, Closide entered the boudoir that Eunogia had never allowed any other man to enter except herself. Eunogia sat alone in the room covered with gauze curtains. On the bed, under the cover of gauze curtains, a beautiful and incomparable figure was looming, but none of Eunogia's usual "favorites" and "concubines" were there.
"Have you taken care of those little things along the way?" Seeing Croside's arrival, Yunokia opened her eyes slightly and asked in a pleasant voice.
"Are you referring to the attackers?" Closide found a chair and sat down: "They chose the best time and place to try to launch the attack, so I can bury them in the best place, Even if the mastermind wants to investigate afterwards, the results will not come out until at least a month later."
Eunogia nodded and seemed to already know about Closide's attack on the way: "I have to say sorry here. Felibos' recent business performance has declined significantly due to the impression of my construct puppet. It¡¯s serious, so he had some conflicts with me, so he specially invited me on some matters, which made me learn the news a little late.¡±
"It doesn't matter~ Mortals can only achieve this level."
The three giants are not absolutely united in the free city. Although on the surface they are united in order to maintain their rights and prevent others from committing crimes, in fact, if the three giants can find an opportunity to annex each other, then no matter who they are, they will There will be absolutely no mercy. Eunogia, who has maintained a cooperative relationship with Croside since he was born, has maintained some relationships vaguely through her identity as a legal businessman, even though the other two of the Big Three have jointly requested Eunogia dealt with Croseid, but Eunogia still maintained a warm attitude.
The reason why Yunokia can face the two of them with this attitude without being suspected is mainly because the products she sells as a legal merchant are unique in the free city. They are different from minerals, medicinal materials, food and even population. , what Eunogia sells is intangible wisdom and knowledge. There is no second competitor in the free city that can compete with Eunogia, and it is precisely because of this uniqueness that outsiders probably think that this is A law businessman doesn't care about the life and death of the other two people at all, because there is no transfer of interests between them. As one of the three giants, Eunokia dominates the entire free city's legal market. Even if she is not one of the three giants, Eunokia can still continue to dominate this market. market, because she has products that others absolutely don¡¯t have!
This kind of warm attitude also annoyed Lawrence and Philibes, but they were helpless. After all, they had no interest at all with Eunogia. Even if they both bore the title of the Big Three, the title would never have any actual meaning. Profits are important. If Eunokia wants to be an enemy of Croside, who also has no conflicts, unless Lawrence and Philibes are willing to give enough benefits to Eunokia, they will expect Eunokia to work for free. That would be ridiculous.
Faced with this situation, the only thing the two could do was to treat Yunokia coldly as a warning, for example, saying that Yunokia would not be invited in the attack on Croside. Ya to discuss.
"It seems that Lawrence and Philibos are also very dissatisfied with you. How long do you think this situation can last?"
"There is no problem in maintaining peace of mind for a period of time."
Yunokia said thoughtfully with a smile: "It would be useless even if the two of them break up with me. At most, they will be in a stalemate with each other disconnected. On the contrary, if they are willing to give up part of their interests now, It would be more troublesome for me to do something to you."
"Your position will be very embarrassing then."
Yunokia suddenly laughed softly: "My position is not embarrassing at all. If they are really willing to give up the benefits that satisfy me,Well, then I will also use my identity as the legal businessman 'Eunokia' to concentrate on dealing with you. However, when the time comes, I will use my mortal strength to fight against the dragon. The part of the benefits that were ceded to me will not be said to be earned~ I'm afraid. It may not even be enough to get your money back. "
After talking for a few words, the topic of the two people quickly turned to business, especially regarding the matter of Closed going to the Kalsemmen Empire for trade negotiations. Closed will record all the contents of the negotiations. They were all handed over to Yunokia, which made it easier for Yunokia's personnel to find out the bottom line of the Kalsemmen Empire negotiators during the next negotiation.
To be honest, Yunokia is also one of the winners of the big cake this time, but slightly less than Croside.
"What's the situation with the Kalsemmen Empire? Is it colluding with the Holy See as I expected?"
"I think it's even worse. The Kalsemmen Empire is probably directly linked to the goddess behind the Holy See."
The fact that Kalsemmen suddenly gained such an astronomical amount of wealth has shown that the Kalsemmen Empire is not just a matter of colluding with the Holy See.
Crossed crossed his hands and said with certainty: "The goddess Ishtar is planning big things, and even us extraordinary beings can temporarily ignore our big things as long as we act as 'mortals' honestly. "
"Are you exposed?"
Yunokiya heard some hidden meanings in the words, and her eyes couldn't help but become solemn.
Croseid told some situations very simply. In addition to some inside stories that Yunokia didn't need to know, he also briefly explained the situation of the half-elf female mage Tenaya, such as the death of the half-elf female mage. Resurrection, and assisting the Karsemmen Empire in reverse-engineering the technology of the original Perras Empire.
Regarding the resurrection of the half-elf from the dead, Eunogia looked calm, but when she heard that Kalsemmen had excavated the ruins of the Perlas Empire, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
After listening to Croside's story, Eunogia also had a general understanding of the situation. Anyway, this time the technology export agreement with the Kalsemmen Empire can be negotiated by her own staff. Anyway, as a member of the Free City Apart from his beauty, the legal businessman himself is famous for not going out to meet people. He will not arouse any suspicion if he does not go to the Kalsemmen Empire in person. Moreover, if it is true as Crosad said, in the Kalsemmen Empire, If there is a goddess standing behind him, he really cannot go because of his identity.
Even if the goddess graciously tolerated Croseid as a giant dragon, she would never tolerate herself appearing under her gaze.
Eunogia could not help but hold the necklace on her chest, feeling the weak pulse coming from the necklace.
As for what the goddess Ishtar is planning, neither Croseid nor Eunogia can guess, and under the current situation, as long as the goddess's plan does not directly target her own side in the Free City, then for this It's better to avoid the goddess if you can.
After talking about the matters related to the Kalsemmen Empire, there is another thing that is more important in Yunokia's heart than the tens of billions of Lien trade agreement, that is, the boy who is still missing and the star in his hand. Gem of power.
Since that night, the slave boy named Claire took advantage of the internal strife between him and the black dragon named zero to escape under the cover of the devil. After reaching a bet with zero, he mobilized all his informants, including those controlled turtle doves. The third floor monitored the entire Free City, even the sewers, but the boy completely disappeared as if he had evaporated.
The gem can make him invisible, but it obviously cannot keep him in this state forever. The power of the gem is obviously a huge burden for this boy. Using the gem for a long time will definitely cause the collapse of his body. For this reason, he must have a hiding place for rest and adjustment, and he also needs food and drinking water. As long as he still needs these basic survival supplies, he will definitely leave clues in the city.
"What if he leaves the city?" Closide told a fact that Yunokia was least willing to accept: "Before, he made a reckless and childish choice to stay for revenge, but this time after being beaten In the end, he should know how to examine the situation. Instead of mastering a power that does not belong to this world in this city that is full of hostility to him, he should go to a distant place to learn slowly, and then come back for revenge when he can truly use this power skillfully. is the most correct choice.¡±
Yunokia has not thought about this situation, and it is the most likely situation. If the boy really relies on the power of gems to escape from the city and fly away, then the possibility of finding him is slim.? is equal to zero.
"He won't leave."
"Oh~ are you really so confident?"
Yunokia gently held the necklace hanging on her chest and said confidently: "Yes, although I can't detect his specific location, one thing I can be sure of is that he is still in this city, hiding. Traces of himself, trying to exact revenge on his enemies.¡±
"And I will definitely find him and regain the power that should not belong to him." (.)
