    200,000 gold coins, this is definitely not a small amount no matter where it is placed.  Moreover, although Headington's current stall is large, its financial income is just enough to maintain it. 200,000 is definitely a huge sum of money.  Charlotte frowned and said: "So much? Isn't it made of worthless fire magic crystal mine?" Alina clicked her tongue and shook her finger: "You really think of alchemy too simply.  My mother once said to me that the essence of alchemy is a technique to burn money faster. Do you know that my mother opened the Alchemist Guild, which cost my father an astronomical amount of money?  ?" As she said this, she added: "Oh, by the way, this 200,000 yuan is just an initial investment. If you want to enter the use stage, you have to invest more." As soon as this was said, everyone was dizzy.  What Na means is that this 200,000 is just a test of the water, and the deeper things are yet to come.  Rickett is Headington¡¯s internal affairs manager and is well aware of the financial difficulties of his family.  Hearing this, he said angrily: "This is really unreasonable. There is no one like you who wants money." "That's good." Alina shrugged nonchalantly: "In that case, forget it, because I don't want to give it.  Dad works, so I came to you first. If you are reluctant to invest, I have to find Dad to invest. I think he will be happy to take the money. "This girl is a brat, and she inherited Reed.  business talent.  She is fully aware of the value of her invention, and she has a completely confident attitude, making it clear that I have many backup options, and I am not afraid that you will not give in.  Sure enough, Freddy, Charlotte and others all looked at Raymond.  Raymond also pondered. 200,000 is not a small amount, especially now that the army is fighting against the Necromancer, and military expenditures are being spent like running water. If such a large amount of money is spent to fund Alina's research, it will undoubtedly bring huge benefits to Hainan.  Dinton's finances were greatly burdened.  But gunpowder can¡¯t help but make people excited, especially its huge military value.  Nowadays, Headington seems to be in danger and is surrounded by dangers. Even if the Necromancer is defeated, there will be a war to restore Headington's country and a war with the Kingdom of Dirk.  Especially the Dilk Kingdom, which is huge in strength and far beyond the reach of Headington. Leonard is very resourceful. No matter how you look at it, Headington has little chance of winning.  If the war fails, then all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the thought of it makes Raymond's scalp numb.  With this thing, maybe we can reverse the huge gap in strength.  After this calculation, no matter how big the investment is, it is worth it Just as Raymond was weighing the balance in his mind, Sophia whispered to him: "If you are short of money, I still have some royal jewels there. If you sell them,  It should be enough." Her words made Raymond determined, and even Sophia had the consciousness to give up everything. Why should he hesitate?  So he said to Alina: "No problem, I can give it to you." "Lord Raymond, what are you" Seeing that Raymond agreed to this request that was almost blackmail, Rickett couldn't help but become anxious.  Raymond waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, and he followed: "Moreover, I will immediately let Falak City re-mine the fire magic crystal mine, and you can use it as you like. I will also provide the follow-up research funds, no matter how much." Anyway, it was decided.  Having bet his money on it, Raymond simply let go of all the conditions and gave Alina the biggest opportunity.  His decisive attitude even startled Alina.  But soon she became excited: "Great, I will surprise my mother this time." Like every rebellious child, Alina's biggest wish is to do something on her own without relying on her parents.  Some results come.  Now that she has successfully obtained Raymond's funding, coupled with the genius invention of gunpowder, it is enough to prove herself.  "Don't be too busy to be happy." Freddy said coldly: "When will the improvement of this thing be completed?" Alina said confidently: "Don't worry, it can be as short as three months or as long as half a year. It will definitely be done."  There is a result that satisfies you. "According to the current intelligence, Leonard is fighting against Wang Di's forces in Dirk. Although he has gained the upper hand temporarily, it will take a long time to completely control the situation. It should be too late.  Raymond and Freddy looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news." "You trust me so much, I will never let you down." Alina patted her head and puffed up slightly.  ** assured.  This is the first time she has conducted such an important research, and it is of great importance. This gives the little alchemist a sense of pride in carrying a heavy responsibility, and Alina's fighting spirit burns strongly.  Following, she turned around and left, shouting at the same time: "Keska, Rose, Claire, Shaz, where are you? Come with me to the workshop.We have to get back to work!  " "Raymond, you don't have to bear all the expenses.  "At this time, Sophia said to Raymond: "I will also use it in my battle to restore the country in the future, so let me pay for it.  " "Thanks in advance.  Raymond said: "But I mainly want to use it to deal with Leonard. In the final analysis, it is for the safety of Headington."  " Charlotte also said: "We appreciate Her Highness the Princess's kindness, but we can still afford the money.  You are living abroad now, and the money is your only property. If you want to thank us, you should wait until you return to the country.  " Freddy said calmly: "Even if you don't tell us, we will ask you for it.  "I didn't expect that Freddie, who was always cold-faced, would also say witty words out of the blue. Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing. Sofia was also amused. "Well, when the day comes when the country is successfully restored, I will officially give it to you.  The title of Gaspard Kingdom.  "She smiled. "Becoming a real noble is what Freddie dreams of. Although Sofia has given them titles before, it was only a nominal reward as a princess. After Sofia ascends the throne,  The meaning was very different. When he thought of this, his eyes immediately showed enthusiasm. Rickett and Charlotte were also very moved. Raymond didn't care. He was about to speak when a voice suddenly came out.  Came from behind: ¡°Raymon, you are indeed here!  ¡± *************************************************  ******************* Several people turned their heads and saw Catalina, accompanied by several pirates, standing not far away in front of her.  The man dressed timidly as a businessman suddenly remembered that Catalina had also come to Headington. Because he was busy talking about investment with Alina, he forgot about it for a while. ¡°Okay, you can go.  .  "When she saw Raymond, Catalina said to the businessman who brought her here. The businessman thanked her quickly as if she had been granted amnesty, and then disappeared. Then, Catalina came to Raymond and others. She first looked like she was  She inadvertently took a look at Sofia next to Raymond, who also showed a look of alertness. The two women's eyes met for a moment, and then they turned away from each other in a tacit understanding. Then, Catalina looked at Lei with a slightly bitter look.  Meng Dao: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be back here so soon.  " "I already know that you were attacked by the Necromancer's fleet.  Raymond said softly: "Anyway, just be fine."  " Unexpectedly, with such a simple sentence, Catalina's eyes turned red, and her expression became extremely weak at that moment. She, who has always been strong, would show such a mood, which shows the great pressure she has been under these days.  . Just staring at Raymond silently for a while, Catalina suddenly lowered her head deeply: "Raymon, I have no choice but to come and beg you.  Help me kill those necromancers, and I'll promise you anything.  "A stubborn woman would say such words, and the meaning is self-evident, which shows how determined Caterina is. For a moment, everyone was shocked and turned their attention to Raymond.  Raymond was also stunned at this moment. When he saw Catalina raised her head, with a slightly shy and extremely determined expression, he knew that she was serious about getting Raymond's help. Catalina was really planning to sacrifice.  Everything. Raymond knew her temper very well, and knew that if she didn't handle it well at this moment, God knows what Catalina would do. In desperation, he said in as calm a tone as possible: "Of course, even if you don't come,  I won't let those guys go either.  " "Now with your help, our chances of winning are even greater.  " "So, you promised me?  "Katrina raised her eyebrows and asked. "Yes, let us fight together.  "Raymond smiled and stretched out his hand to her. "It seemed unexpected that Ramon agreed to his request so simply without making any demands. Catalina stared at him, like a wary little wild cat.  After a moment, her tense expression relaxed, and she finally stretched out her hand, with a hint of joy in her tone: "Great, I knew you" However, before their hands touched, Sophia coughed suddenly.  , and then took Katerina's hand smoothly: "Katerina, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon.  It just so happens that we are discussing how to deal with the Necromancer fleet. Let's discuss it at the city hall.  "The intention of her move is self-evident. Not only did Raymond feel embarrassed, but Freddy and others on the side also turned their heads with different expressions."??Obviously unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the three of them.  Before Catalina came to her senses, Raymond quickly smoothed things over: "Haha, this is indeed not the place to talk, so let's go to the city hall to discuss it in detail." Then he winked at Charlotte, who understood.  She held back her laughter and inserted herself between the two women, diluting the invisible smell of gunpowder.  The group of people then walked towards the town hall in Headington.  ***************************************************  **************** "Katrina, this knife?" The group soon arrived at the city hall. Before entering, Raymond noticed the scimitar on Katrina's waist.  .  Catalina picked up the scimitar: "Kurey gave this to me before he died." "Congratulations, you finally achieved your goal." Raymond said.  However, there was no trace of joy on Catalina's face. She gritted her teeth and said: "My wish is to kill him with my own hands, but it's a pity" The scene of that day once again appeared in front of her eyes, making Catalina show a complicated expression.  She has always regarded killing Cooley as her biggest goal, but when the moment of Cooley's death really came, she realized that everything was different from what she thought.  Therefore, she really couldn't feel the joy of getting revenge, and instead, she felt even more hatred towards the Necromancer.  Seeing the strange look on Catalina's expression, Raymond promptly avoided the topic: "So, how are the losses of your pirates?" Catalina's attention was indeed diverted, and she sighed: "Almost  It was all destroyed, and less than one-fifth of us escaped. After I returned to Antiva Island, although I summoned some pirates who did not participate in this battle, it was not enough to fight against the Necromancer's fleet, and even more  Not to mention that thing" At this point, Catalina's eyes showed deep fear: "Raymond, that sea dragon is really terrifying. If we don't solve it, we will never be able to defeat the Necromancer.  " Raymond said: "I understand, when it destroyed Manas Island, I knew that nothing could defeat it in the sea. But fortunately, now I finally have some clues. " At this time, everyone was talking.  Went into the conference room.  After sitting down, Catalina couldn't wait to say: "So, you have a way to deal with it?" Raymond nodded: "That's right. In fact, this is what I came back for." Catalina  He asked eagerly: "What is the solution?" Raymond did not answer her, but asked: "Do you know the origin of this sea dragon?" Catalina shook her head blankly: "Those weird things created by the necromancer, I  How do you know?" "That's a long story." Raymond smiled bitterly.  Later, he accidentally ran into a sea dragon. After being rescued, he was asked to find the stolen dragon egg. Later, he discovered that the dragon egg was stolen by the necromancer, and they forcibly hatched the dragon egg and controlled the sea dragon to do evil. Briefly  Said it again.  Finally he said: "In short, I have obtained the method of subduing the sea dragon from other dragons. Now all the preparations are completed and I will start soon." Katarina didn't know there were so many things here.  The tortuous experience left me dumbfounded for a while.  She couldn't help but ask: "So, that thing is really a dragon?" Raymond nodded: "Yes, his mother lives in the place where we were ambushed by Kure. But because she has to take care of another  The dragon eggs cannot be taken, so we have to do it. "The sea dragon is considered the most sacred creature in the sea, but it has only existed in legends.  This is especially significant for pirates like Catalina who make a living at sea.  In fact, many superstitious pirates worship sea dragons as gods.  At this moment, not only did she know that the sea dragon really existed, but the enemy she had to deal with this time was a dragon, which made her feel an unreal sense of wonder.  Knowing her mood at the moment, Raymond said with a smile: "However, you don't have to think too highly of them. In fact, if you really come into contact with them, you will find that those dragons are not only not sacred at all, but also very greedy and very calculating.  People, it¡¯s not easy to deal with them at all.¡± As he spoke, he told a few interesting things about Elebena and Nesserys, which made Catalina dumbfounded and couldn¡¯t help but laugh.  She had kept a straight face since she arrived here, but now she finally relaxed a little. ???????????????????????? If Erebena and Neisseris knew that they had become the gossip of these tiny humans, they would be so angry that even their dragon scales would stand up.  Freddy said: "In order to deal with the Necromancer, we have formed an alliance with the Sidonis sect. They sent troops to attack the Lavit Federation and delayed the Necromancer.The division's ground army is now the best time to destroy the opponent's fleet.  " After seeing the horror of the sea dragon, Catalina was desperate and came to seek help from Raymond. Unexpectedly, things turned around like this, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She said: "What do you need me to do?  " Raymond said: "We plan to take out the Necromancer's fleet, and then wait for an opportunity to subdue Hai Long.  Once they lose the sea dragon, their fleet will have nothing to fear.  " "Now that you have joined us, we will be more confident.  " Raymond's words are not to comfort Catalina, because no one is more familiar with the waters of the Veronica continent than the pirates. Although they suffered heavy losses, they are still a combat force that cannot be ignored. As long as the sea dragon is eliminated, we have  With the help of pirates, it will be much easier to destroy the remaining fleet of the Necromancer. ¡°The most important question now is how to extract the Necromancer¡¯s fleet and where to lead it.  "At this time, Sophia joined the discussion. "What she said was the key issue. Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. However, Deneke is not a stupid person. If he accidentally arouses his vigilance, he will be in trouble in the future.  It will be troublesome if you think about it again. ¡°How about luring them to Manas Island?  "Freddy suggested: "It just so happens that Denek seems to hate the lord of Lovell, so let Lord Saul be used as bait.  "As expected of Freddy, he sold Sol easily." Raymond shook his head and said: "No, Manas Island has been completely destroyed, and there is no reason to attract the other party there."  Besides, it was an isolated island with nothing around it, so it was not conducive to setting up an ambush.  " "Then what should we do?  Rickett said with a sigh: "We can't lure them to Headington."  His words were naturally rejected. Charlotte said: "Of course not. If Headington is attacked, even if the Necromancer is eliminated, we will lose more than we gain."  " Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Catalina suddenly said: "Leave this matter to me.  " "Huh?  Raymond was slightly startled: "Do you have any suggestions?"  " "Although there is no good solution.  Catalina said slowly: "But I think I can lead their fleet to Antiva Island."  " " Antiva Island?  " Raymond and Freddy, who had been there before, both looked thoughtful. Seeing this, Sophia asked: "How about it, is it okay there?  "Freddy said: "The terrain of Antiva Island itself is complex, and there are very complex reef groups outside the island, which can effectively contain the enemy and make it convenient for our troops to hide.  " "If the ambush location is arranged there, it is indeed a good choice.  " Raymond said in surprise: "Isn't that the base camp of your pirates?  Katarina, you do this" Katarina said firmly: "I said, as long as I can kill those necromancers, I am willing to pay any price.  " "Besides, our fleet was destroyed, and now the island is in chaos, and there is nothing left to preserve.  If that island could be exchanged for a sea dragon and a fleet of necromancers, it would be a very cost-effective deal.  Seeing that she had made up her mind, Raymond said: "Okay, but how do you plan to kill them?"  " Catalina said: "Denek destroyed our fleet, killed Cooley, and then ignored us, which shows that he believes that pirates no longer pose a threat.  " "So, I only need to attack the Lavit Federation's merchant fleet a few times to anger them.  In order to completely eliminate us, the Necromancer will definitely attack Antiva Island. That is our chance.  "This method is indeed feasible. Although the Lavit Federation is controlled by the Necromancer, commercial activities have not stopped. In fact, the Necromancer must maintain the operation of trade to stabilize the country. As long as the merchant fleet of the Lavit Federation is attacked  A pirate attack will definitely anger the conceited Denek. In addition, the war on land is not going well, so he will definitely choose to attack Antiva Island to completely eliminate the threat at sea. In this way, as long as he sets up an ambush on Antiva Island, he will be defeated.  Reis and Gru work together to deal with the sea dragon. Then the pirates and Lovell's fleet will be dispatched. Under the special terrain restrictions outside the island, the Necromancer's fleet will have no way to escape. "Then that's it.  It¡¯s settled.  "Raymon finally made the decision, and he said to Catalina: "I'll leave the matter of the **Necromancer to you, but we must be quick. Now the undead army on the land is all dragged by the Sidonis sect, so we must be quick.  Destroy their fleet.  " Catalina smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I will definitely let those guys go to Antiva.  " "I will let them know that angering the pirates will be a very serious matter.Serious mistake.  ¡± *************************************************  ***************** The arrival of Catalina solved the most important part of this strategy, which made Raymond, who had been worried, breathe a sigh of relief again.  After discussing some details, everyone ended the meeting. After a night's rest in Headington, Catalina left again to carry out the plan to attack the Lavit Federation Merchant Fleet. And Raymond also began to actively prepare.  The Necromancers have been fooled, and the battle against them will begin immediately! The entire Veronica continent is now in complete chaos, whether it is the relatively peaceful Gaspard Kingdom or the Croat Empire, or the endless civil war between Di.  The situation in the Erke Kingdom is in turmoil. The vast area from Headington to the Lavit Federation is the center of chaos. All parties are entangled in a fierce life-and-death battle.  When he was about to kill his opponent, the severely injured pirates also quietly started their own actions. (To be continued.)
