Chapter 1020: Secret Talk
Under the night, the banquet continued in the open-air square.
Whether it is [Nikos] as the host, or the Greed people as the guests. Time is passing quickly amid the almost non-stop music and programs.
Just as the party progressed.
Most people who were immersed in the happy atmosphere did not notice that several people had left at the same time.
Not too far away from the banquet venue, a small room has been strictly guarded, and there are spells around it to prohibit eavesdropping and other spying abilities to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
And here, an extremely private gathering has just begun.
Countess Leticia, her prince husband, Ronald and Claudia, as well as the holy priests from the church, a total of five people sat in a circle around the table in this small room.
Among them, Claudia was the first to speak, looking directly at the prince of [Nikos] Mursoni:
"Your Highness Mursoni, you specially invited us guests to come here to talk. You must have something very important to say, right?"
Mu Ersoni is a man who looks to be about thirty years old, with a strong build and a very good mental state. As a prince, he always had a cheerful smile on his face, and his affinity radiated almost from the inside out.
At this moment, as the initiator of the party, Morsoni faced Claudia's question and asked:
"Your Highness Claudia, before the topic officially begins, I would like to ask a question - what do you think of the past? Do you know anything about the maritime city [Larchmont]?"
"Oh?" Claudia just nodded slightly, and then responded, "I know that it is a city that has been established since the Dark Ages, but unfortunately Yes, it seems to have been destroyed by a disaster hundreds of years ago, and is now almost forgotten." As
soon as Claudia finished speaking, she suddenly realized the purpose of the other party mentioning [Larchmont].
"Wait a minute, I remember that city should not be far from [Nikos]."
"Could it be that you discovered its traces?"
"Hahaha! As expected of the princess of Greed, she is indeed quick-thinking and knowledgeable. How wide." Morsoni immediately clapped his hands and praised, "The reason why I want to talk to you in secret is precisely because of this." "...
"
At the same time, Ronald, who was also here, had a trace of light in his eyes. Clearly.
He had heard a lot of legends about this city before in Capone, and even the books he brought had recorded relevant contents. In addition to the information Luna revealed to him a day ago... At this moment, Mulsoni will tell the
news Inform everyone.
To him, it was just something that should happen, nothing to be surprised about.
However, Mulsoni's current confidentiality attitude towards the news made Ronald's mood more complicated. Luna would reveal the news to herself yesterday, and the emotions involved were really difficult to deal with...
Ronald himself was entangled in trivial matters and did not join the conversation, but others would not be like this. Seeing Claudia and Mulsoni reveal the purpose of the conversation, Martha, who is now a holy priest, also intervened in the conversation at this time:
"But Mr. Mulsoni, since you have discovered [Rach] Monte] ruins, then in the current world situation, it is more appropriate to tightly block the news." "
If we hadn't encountered special circumstances, I'm afraid you wouldn't have told us passers-by about this, right?" "
..."
"The priest is right."
After Martha spoke, Mulsoni fell silent briefly, with a wry smile on his face.
It was at this time that his wife Leticia spoke on behalf of her husband:
"Under normal circumstances, this kind of news would naturally be strictly blocked." "
But we [Nikos] are different from Grid. We are not afraid of anything in the world. The country is not afraid of facing any war, and there are no behemoths around it that no one dares to challenge." "
For us, the changes in the world have not only cut off many important connections, but also dealt a terrible blow to our strength as we rely on the canal. ."
"If you don't think of ways to quickly increase your strength at this time."
"Then what is waiting for [Nikos] may not be a bright future like the banquet outside." Although
Martha has just become a priest of the Holy Order, she is not familiar with the surroundings. The understanding of geography is also good. After Leticia spoke, she understood the helplessness and bitterness of the other party just by thinking about it briefly.
[Nikos] is located at the junction of two continents.
Going up, there are countries with more developed civilizations; going down, there are neighbors who are martial and good at war. But [Nikos] himself occupies a canal that can bring huge profits.
In the past, [Nikos] relied on his connections with all over the world, but of course he could still rely on his strength to defend everything.
But in a world like this now...
just like Leticia said, they may be unable to do what they want after losing so much, and they must be on guard all the time.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room dropped due to the bitterness in Leticia's tone. However, the countess’s husband did not remain depressed, but at this moment he stood up his chest again:
“So [Larchmont] who appeared at this time became the fastest choice for [Nikos] to increase his strength. Just because of us Due to lack of strength, there are currently obstacles in entering the ruins."
At this point, Mulsoni suddenly stood up.
The tall man walked around in front of Claudia, then knelt down on one knee and made a request to the princess in front of him, which he should never do to foreigners because of his status: "
Claudia Your Highness Ya, we know the strength of all the distinguished guests of Greed, and we have also heard the news that you defeated the wizards who escaped the seal. Compared with our small country and few people, there is a huge gap between the two." Faced with the extremely humble actions of the prince
, Claudia suddenly put away her smile, her expression suddenly became serious, and she asked in an unprecedented cold tone:
"Your Highness Mulsoni, are you planning to ask us for help?"
Mulsoni turned to Claudia. Dia lowered her head even more and continued without hesitation:
"Your Highness Claudia, [Nikos] has always been on good terms with [Gred], and hopes to maintain such a relationship in the future!"
Leticia followed suit. He came over and bowed his head to Claudia:
"Your Highness, please" "
..."
After the couple finished speaking, Claudia's expression was as cold as before.
But as time passed little by little, Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes finally softened:
"Okay, I understand the general situation, but the discussion ends here tonight."
"Tomorrow morning, you will send someone to the ship in the port. , let’s continue talking then.”
After finishing her words, Claudia stood up from her chair.
Then he took Martha and Ronald and left the house:
"Ronald, Martha, let's go. Everyone at the party is still waiting for us to go back."
