If there is anyone who quickly fell from the throne of people's cheers and became the spokesperson who was reviled by everyone, it must be Nabopan, the current Privy Councilor of the National Temple of the Order. This Privy Councilor once He was Pope Potamia's most trusted civilian official, a humble and clear-minded politician, the savior of the people, and the defender of the temple. During the months when Pope Potamia disappeared, The privy officer in charge of the Holy Capital quickly turned from a benevolent sage in the eyes of the people to a traitor in just a few weeks. He was found in the streets and alleys of the Holy Capital, even in bars in Geta. Words of resentment towards the Privy Councilor could be heard everywhere in the restaurant. At this moment, Nabopan was sitting quietly in a bar near the accommodation area on the outskirts of Getaim, leisurely listening to the passionate curses and resentments of the people next to him. This is a fairly standard bar, built by imperial merchants. It is a spacious room with two floors. The floor slab in the middle of the second floor has been completely dug out to become a patio where you can see everything below. The tables and chairs are all Made of the finest ebony wood, it looks quite calm and dignified, and has a sense of elegance inside. The huge crystal chandelier and the rich scent of frankincense that permeate the air are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Enjoy what you get. All of this proves that this place is only accessible to wealthy people. There is a staircase on the west side of the ground floor, which is the stage for performances, and at the moment there is only one waiter playing quiet music there. However, the melodious music obviously could not make the troubled and angry guest feel peaceful. In fact, for the imperial merchants during this period, it was impossible for any music to calm them down. In the Holy City, the major chambers of commerce were wailing. Both Pope Pudamia and Imperial Bank Sokutus Stellan The women joined forces and dealt a heavy blow to these imperial chambers of commerce that had been domineering in the past. In the name of the theft of important items from the temple, Pope Potamia forcefully ordered a thorough investigation into the loss of materials in the Holy City, and then blocked seventeen companies involved. The Imperial Chamber of Commerce, all the materials of six chambers of commerce with smuggling background. Facing the soldiers who broke in, even the major chambers of commerce that had shouted to protest were dumbfounded. At this moment, the major chambers of commerce realized that they had fallen into They fell into a trap, because the armors of these soldiers who broke through the door of their chamber of commerce were inlaid with white thorn flowers. Facing His Majesty the Emperor's Guards, resistance was treason! The major chambers of commerce have a large number of mercenaries, who dares to take action! At this time, if the major chambers of commerce still don¡¯t know that it is His Majesty the Emperor who really wants to deal with them, the heads of these chambers of commerce will all be idiots. ¡°Mobilizing the imperial guards requires an emperor¡¯s warrant and verification from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Even if Pudami "With the emperor's warrant, it also needs to be verified by the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is impossible to quickly mobilize the imperial guards. During this period of time, we can easily mobilize the power in our hands to make this stubborn female pope surrender." Looking at With swords flashing in the cold rain, the imperial guards took away the business leaders ferociously. Only then did all the chambers of commerce realize that they were so wrong. Everyone was deceived by this statement. Pudamia returned to the Holy Capital with the imperial guards. , naturally there is a warrant from His Majesty the Emperor, and the verification by the Ministry of Military Affairs may take time for others, but for another woman, directly signing the transfer order from the Ministry of Military Affairs for less than 500 people is a privilege granted by the emperor, that The woman is Imperial Bank Sokutus Stellan. At this time, many chambers of commerce remembered the forgotten past. That was when Sokutus Stellan was the thirteenth deacon of the Imperial Business Alliance. Faced with Sokutus Stellan's suppression of the major commercial deacons, she naturally had the strength. Powerful business deacons rose up to oppose, and the result several times was that a total of four business families, which were regarded as behemoths in the eyes of other businessmen, collapsed, and seventeen businessmen who were top-notch in various industries either disappeared or urgently sold off all their properties to take refuge. Behind Sokutus Stellan stands the imperial military. To a certain extent, Sokutus Stellan can directly sign military orders from the Ministry of Military Affairs. This has been acquiesced by the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs. In this way, Five Hundreds of imperial guards raided the major chambers of commerce in the Holy City that night. The major chambers of commerce that fled in a hurry were also captured the next day. The news they brought back made the merchants in the entire Holy City lose the confidence to continue protesting. , just as the imperial guards in the city were taking action, outside the Holy Capital, Sokutus Stellan's private army of 20,000 Imperial Bank troops surrounded the major gates of the Holy Capital! The two women joining forces are enough to control any out-of-control outbreak in the Holy City. Even if the major chambers of commerce have their own armed mercenaries, it is impossible to fight against the 20,000 troops outside the city! "The 17th Guard Flag Regiment stationed fifty miles northeast of the Holy City faced such changes in the Holy City. As an imperial soldier, it was indifferent. It is really hateful!" Suddenly, a wine glass flew out, and the target was the performer. of musicians. The musician's skills are very strong.He dodged the flying hidden weapon in time, and there was a sound of glass breaking, followed by the sound of apologies. "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. This brother of mine is not in a good mood. I will compensate for all the losses." The person sitting next to the perpetrator was middle-aged and well-dressed, as if he was a gentleman. The man said. As he spoke, he took out a handful of Imperial Gold and gently placed it on the counter. The bar owner smiled, swept the gold coins into the drawer, and then said slowly, "Mr. Boone, this is not your brother's fault. Who would have thought that such a change would happen in the Holy City, especially that Privy Councilor, how much benefit has been taken from us! "Who said it was not the case? Why did we meet such a hypocrite? Why do good people not have peace and longevity? Why can traitors prosper in officialdom? "An old man on the table on the left said equally angrily. "Aren't we the ones who bribed that guy? All of this is our own bitter wine, and now we have to taste it ourselves. "The perpetrator, who was obviously a little drunk, said. "My brother, this matter can only be said to be because that guy knows how to act. He performed hypocrisy and deception to a very high level. When Potamia disappeared, all our major chambers of commerce believed that even if Potamia returned, they would be unable to fight against us, but who could have thought that Sokutus Stellan would participate. "The businessman sitting next to the perpetrator looked extremely ugly. Even if it involves Pope Potamia, if it is Sokutus Stellan, a slight frown can make the empire's business world tremble. Characters, in the commercial war against the southern European Barro, Sokutusdai single-handedly defeated the entire southern European barro and the large chambers of commerce joined forces, leaving thousands of southern European small businessmen bankrupted. The tragedy was so great It was no less than a million-level war. But the big man who caused the trouble obviously didn't take it seriously at all. "Aren't there any imperial soldiers who came out to uphold justice?" We are regular merchants of the empire! " After a while, one of the pair of young scholars sitting by the window said nonchalantly, "The law does not punish everyone, and it is not just a single chamber of commerce involved, and the empire has promised not to do anything to anyone in the Holy City. Interference, so everyone was even more reassured, but no one had ever thought that this ordinance, which everyone thought was a protection, has now become the biggest weakness of the major chambers of commerce, even if the major chambers of commerce can only stare at it It is ironic to say that he has the power to resist but dare not make the slightest move in the Holy Capital! " "I want to summon all the imperial chambers of commerce to protest against the Holy Capital incident. If the Holy Capital does not release our people and compensate for our losses, the major chambers of commerce will completely cut off the supply of the Holy Capital. I don't believe it, Pudami. Will Asia not give in? "The big man became more and more excited as he spoke. He swiped away and knocked all the wine glasses on the table to the ground. A series of sounds of shattering glass were heard, accompanied by flying foam, and bursts of strong alcohol smell drifted in all directions. Let¡¯s go. ¡°It¡¯s stupid. It¡¯s His Majesty¡¯s Guards that are arresting people. It¡¯s Sokutus Stellan¡¯s private army that¡¯s controlling the Holy City. It¡¯s Pope Putamia who¡¯s claiming the title. As for the military, the Empire has already had it. As promised, we will not send troops to interfere in the Holy Capital, not to mention, this may not be the emperor's order." A middle-aged businessman with a gloomy face sighed and said, immediately making everyone in the bar speechless. Whether it was the gentleman next to him, the old man in the corner, or the group of businessmen gathered in the distance, no one stood up to refute. Obviously, these words hit their mark. During this period, they were indeed in the cult. The turmoil in the country was too fierce. Although some people expressed concerns, everyone still maintained a sense of luck. Looking at the broken glass, everyone was speechless. At this moment, silence became their only choice. At this situation, Nabopan, who was sitting on the second floor, secretly sighed that everything was under the emperor's control. At first, I thought of resistance, but soon it was the division of the internal self. This is the nature of a businessman. When facing a powerful force that cannot be resisted, the first thing that comes to mind is self-protection. Business covenants and the like have long been thrown away. Going beyond the Nine Heavens, thinking that the huge gold coins and countless unknown expensive treasures sent by these large chambers of commerce in order to bribe him were finally secretly sent to the Southern Intelligence Department of the Empire, and then fell into the emperor's pocket, Nabo used it He raised the light gray glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, his eyes were cold and indifferent. He was not a greedy person. The fact that he was entrusted by Potamia to manage the Holy City was enough to illustrate his character. The Great Chamber of Commerce has been a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor from the beginning. Pope Pudamia abandoned the Holy City and sneaked into the south of Aero to seek death. Naturally, the Emperor cannot just sit back and watch the Holy City lose control. As a Privy Councilor??I was summoned by the emperor, and the emperor's first words when he saw him were, "Do you want to protect the Holy City? At least until Potamia returns, the Holy City will not be wiped off the map by those imperial merchants. If you refuse to cooperate with the imperial merchants, they will choose to bypass the Holy Capital. Without the material support of the Imperial merchants, the Holy Capital will become a dead city within a month. "It can be said that almost overnight, Na! Bo Pan seemed to have turned into another person, as if he had been induced by the imperial merchants and issued a series of perverse decrees. Almost in an instant, his years of character were torn apart. The auction of mining rights in eight provinces may not have caused the people of the Order to hate and rebuke him, but the sale of all foreign trade rights has made the people of the Order lose all goodwill towards the Privy Councilor, and it also This makes the knowledgeable people in the Holy City heartbroken, because this means that the economic lifeline of the Holy City will be completely controlled by the imperial merchants. But what the people hate the most is the business protection regulations promulgated. The Order State has always been opposed to business. Now it has reversed. The country strongly supports businessmen. Among them, the protection of privileges for foreign investment businessmen is extremely It greatly touched the rights and interests of the people of the Order, and it also provided legal support for the empire's major chambers of commerce to run rampant. Because of this, voices of opposition sounded from all directions overnight. Many people even preached that they would kill themselves as a traitor. They protected the Holy City, but they could not protect the entire Order Country! Looking at the impassioned man downstairs, and at the silent people with expressions full of regret, drinking silently, Nabo curled his lips slightly, because he knew very well that all of this was just The emperor promised himself part of the promise "Within half a year, I will give you a clean Holy City." The changes in the Holy City are an unstoppable situation. The country of the Order has experienced a catastrophe and is in urgent need of a large amount of funds. Without him, the out-of-control regions of the Order Country would choose to cooperate with well-funded imperial businessmen, and there would be no need to deliberately manipulate other people's thoughts. In fact, selfishness, greed, and endless desires originally exist in everyone's heart. As long as they are gently pointed in the direction, almost everyone will rush towards that huge benefit without hesitation, risking their lives and risking their lives. Go on, if the Holy Capital plays an obstructive role here, as the emperor said, not only will the provincial capitals of the Order State immediately declare their abandonment of the Holy Capital Empire, but also the imperial merchants will completely bypass the Holy Capital and turn the Holy City into a Become a dead city! After drinking down the wine glass in his hand, Nabo straightened his collar, pressed a glass of Imperial Gold on the table, stood up and walked down the stairs. He also held a black cloth package in his right hand, and stood at the door of the tavern. Outside, Nabopan squinted his eyes, and his gaze fell on the towering Getaiya Mountains in the distance. It is rumored that the biggest secret of the temple is also the biggest secret of the temple as a direct link to the Holy City. It is rumored that the Holy City is the most powerful. The weapon of God is in his hand at this moment. Although it is just a blueprint, since the founding of the Order State, countless people have died for this blueprint. The Red Dragon Palace and the Eero royal family have died for this blueprint. Countless masters were sent, but in the end they all failed, not because they didn't grab it, but because even the temple itself was lost. Even the temple itself could not be found, and it was even more impossible for others to find it! I have to admit that forgetting is the best protection. Maybe the three major forces never dreamed that this blueprint would now fall into the hands of an unknown person like him. As the person in charge of the Holy Capital, he naturally has the right to enter the forbidden areas before the Holy Capital. Originally, even Nabopan could not find this thing. There are countless rumors about the most powerful weapon in the sect, and there are various theories. At the time, Martin The Sharptooth people rushed towards the Holy City with great momentum. It is said that they came for the most powerful weapons. However, when Nabopan opened the warehouse door and stood there, Nabopan did not believe that such an important blueprint lay quietly. Among the thousands of various drawings in the warehouse, there are no special marks or special contents. It is just stored there as an ordinary map. If there is not an Eye of God sent by the empire as a identification tool, God The pale white light of the Eye flows towards this map like water. The Getaim Mountains on the map are distorted and deformed in the light. Finally, a new Getaim Mountain appears on the map, Nabopan. I watched dumbfoundedly as the last ray of light was absorbed by the map, and I finally believed that the picture of Getaiyam Mountain in front of me, which looked like a long sword cutting through the air, was the rumored "strongest weapon".
