Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 361 George Negan's Conundrum

Popular recommendation:

The successive governors of Rorsted will only accept "donations" from the heads of large companies such as Quest Bayer, but George Negan bought some shares at a low price, arranged his own people into major companies, and relied on Negan The power of the family doesn't care about the mediation of Admiral Amelius Levitt.

If it weren't for the scruples of the Levitt family, this company would have long become the wealth of the Negan family. Even now, Quest and others are worried that Admiral Amelius will be transferred before Governor George arrives. Once this happens, the wealth of the Bayer family will really be squeezed clean.

You must know that this is only Loen's colony, and big people don't need to be too scruples in doing things, as long as they give a decent reason. The king may not necessarily command the council, but the governor of the colony may command the local council.

So Rawls's main exaggeration in the dreams of Quest and others is that George Negan may plunder Bayam's interests before next year's general election to make up for the loss of the Negan family's loss of control of parliament and land income reduction.

After all, in the eyes of most people, the Conservative Party is likely to lose its majority position in the election next year, and the leader of the new party will become the new Prime Minister.

What Quest and others need to do is to transfer property by making a deficit in the accounts, and even the reasons are ready-made. Who kept the "King of the Five Seas" Nast wandering in the Rhosid waters, causing a backlog of goods at the pier. They've all done these things more or less before this, it's just not so obvious.

As for whether these people have the ability and means to accomplish this now, that is not what Rawls can care about. However, after Alysia has dealt with the beginning and end, as long as the Church of Storms does not send out a demigod-level sealed artifact of the "Sleepless" pathway, or "Sea King" Ian Kottman personally inspects them, they will be noticed that they may be disturbed by extraordinary abilities. Sex is small.

They're just a bunch of businessmen, nothing compared to someone close to the Church of the Storm like Governor George Negan. Ordinary Extraordinary people will only think that it is affected by the actual situation, and this group of people is just taking the risk.

Estimated that the time was almost up, Rawls picked up the inverted "Dream Catcher" and skillfully deleted the relevant memory. In addition to the relevant memory about his infiltration, the dream was arranged in the memory of a week ago, in order to prevent the "reader" of the Church of the Storms from being suspicious.

After all, it is definitely not normal for most of the companies involved in George Negan to have such problems. Under the arrangement of Rawls, it was Quest Bayer who first started to create deficits, and then the heads of other companies noticed that Then they followed suit.

After revising the memory, Rawls wrapped the "Dream Catcher" with a black cloth, and a pale mist appeared in the dark gray eyes of Alysia. She stretched out her hands and moved something in the air.

She is using her identity as a practitioner of order to "distort" the order. Compared with Rawls who can only imitate the lake's feelings, "Law Mage" can already understand the underlying rules of some worlds. "Mystery weakens, reality increases" is here. The ability to be born from this foundation. However, compared to the other "Law Mage", as the scroller of "Uncertain Mist", she can use "Twist" to do more things that demigods of the same path cannot do.

If you compare order to a system, as long as you perform operations, it will be recorded as code. Even Extraordinaries who are not in the "Arbiter" pathway can detect whether a person or a certain environment is affected by Extraordinary abilities as long as they have the relevant abilities.

For example, the "Reader" pathway can analyze and restore events that happened in a certain area in the Sequence 7 "Knower" stage, and the "Divinator" and "Decryption Scholar" can also do this. All Alysia has to do is to distort this part of the code to achieve the effect of anti-divination.

Rawls looked east on another boulevard, next to Jerry Payton, who owned dozens of coffee plantations.

...

The edge of the Rhosid Sea area.

On the calm sea, the "Dark Emperor" representing the "King of the Five Seas" Nast slowly emerged from the void. The hull of a huge three-masted sailboat covered with pure black was illusory, giving people the impression that the ship had already sunk. All that is sailing now is the sense of its soul.

As the ship completely entered the real world, the deep blue water slapped on the ship, and the illusion quickly dissipated. The sound of sailors running and talking and laughing on the deck also became clear from Mohu. When the mottled stone chair is two or three meters high, he will subconsciously lower his voice and his footsteps will be much faster.

Because sitting on the stone chair is a huge monster comparable to the ancient giants, he has a black beard just over his neck, wears a high spire crown, and a gorgeous robe with a black bottom and silver borders. His face is hard and deep, full of majesty. , people subconsciously want to lower their heads.

Although his current posture is very relaxed, his elbows rest on the armrests, his hands hold his fists to support his chin, and the dark red light in his dark eyes converges, reflecting the sea and sky in the distance.

As the most powerful pirate king, even a relaxed posture can only make people feel scared.

The "Dark Emperor" sailed aimlessly on the sea, deterring all ships sailing in this sea area.

Soon, a man wearing an Intis shirt with intricate cuffs and necklines and a dark red captain's suit walked out from the cabin. His pace was not very fast, and every step was normal, but the distance under his feet was measured. The standard seemed to be confused and distorted, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the stone chair.

This is the second mate of the "Dark Emperor", "Dread Viscount" Bird Mustang. He bowed slightly, looked at the deck, handed out a piece of paper, and said respectfully:

"Count, there is news from the Gargas Islands. The day before yesterday, Senor attacked the capital 'White City' Nass there, killing the executioner of the Church of God Inquisition and a brigadier general of the Feysac military, Nearly a thousand people were abducted and **** sacrifices were performed on a nearby island."

Although the "Black Emperor" has an intelligence system at sea that is no less than that of the four countries in the Northern Continent, due to the problem of intelligence transmission, once they enter the spiritual world or stay away from the island, they will not receive the intelligence gathered from various places, only Fix a certain time as the time period for intelligence transmission.

While he was speaking, the telegram automatically flew into Nast's hand sitting on the stone chair, and in the process it grew two or three times in size out of thin air. The sailors on the deck also moved away from the stone chair, or walked around the edge of the deck, or entered the cabin.

The "King of the Five Seas" looked at the telegram in his hand, the dark red light in his dark eyes was uncertain, and a majestic and unquestionable voice sounded:

"Let everyone on the Rhosid Islands know of this news and let them know that Senor is coming. In addition, collect the movements of the Feysac Empire on Sunia Island, including the fleet and the Church of God of War."

The former is to increase the shock and deterrence of the Rhosid Islands, and the latter is to worry about whether the counterattack of the Feysac Empire will break the calm on the sea. Even the pirate king is willing to loot warships, the powerful and abundant firepower and the Beyonders above are very troublesome.

"Yes." Bird Mustang nodded, and then asked, "Do you want to..."

As the head of the intelligence system, he is very clear about the strength of the Beyonders on the Gargas Islands.

The Church of the God of War is the only legal religion of the Feysac Empire. The number of high-ranking powerhouses is indeed a little more than that of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, but it is also a little bit, even if you add the demigods of the Feysac royal family and the military, in a vast country, In the case of a large number of colonies, because there are too many key places to protect, manpower is also tight.

Far away from the empire, the geographical location is ordinary. For the time being, only the Gargas Islands, where the whaling-related industries are developed, can undoubtedly only be ranked in the second rank, and there are no demigod-level Beyonders to guard.

Archbishop Gargas of the God of War Church is only the "Guardian" of Sequence 5, the executioner of the Inquisition is the "Knight of Dawn" of Sequence 6, the baron of the royal family is the "Reaper" of Sequence 5, and the military brigadier general is " conspirators".

Under such circumstances, even Senor's fleet could not be deterred by two Sequence Fives and numerous coastal defense artillery, looting nearly a thousand people, and also killed an executioner and an army officer. Brigadier General Fang.

Although the two Sequence Fives survived, there must be a demigod on Senor's ship. This made "Viscount Fear" more and more that his nephew must have a secret behind him. The death of "Lieutenant General Twilight" was definitely not like the death of "One-Eyed Knight" Andreevich as previously reported.

How on earth did Rolls do this in the presence of a demigod? Could it be that the "prophet" Dorothy Lovelace of the Church of Knowledge has been protecting him?

"No need, it should be a demigod of the 'Rose School', don't provoke those lunatics!"

The electric culture in Nast's hands was ashes and disappeared into the sea breeze.

Of the seven pirate generals, most followed his rules, with very few violations, with only two exceptions. One of them is "Admiral of Blood" Senor, but the "Rose School" behind it makes him very afraid, that is a group of lunatics.

The other was Ludwell, a former subordinate of his former subordinate, "Admiral Hell", who also chose to be independent after Edward Laito defected. He was originally to be executed by him, but I don't know why the "Spiritual Religion" suddenly ran out. , after paying part of the price and showing his strength, he will no longer pursue it.

Later, Nast learned that Ludwell accidentally acquired a ring that was said to be left by "Death" when he passed through the Furious Sea, and the people of the Spirit Religion couldn't take it off, so they could only absorb it incidentally, and Let it continue to explore the world at the eastern end of the Sunya Sea.

"Yes." Bird Mustang stepped back into the cabin.

Snapped

Closing the wooden box containing the "Baron of Ageless", George Negan, Governor of the Rhodes Islands, swept coldly across a report in front of him, breathing heavily from his nose, his chest heaving up and down.

He hasn't put on the "old baron" when he is dealing with work in a long time, and he is afraid that because of his emotional ups and downs, the negative effects will have a greater impact on him. But even so, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

It's already mid-month, and it's time for the major companies to split their earnings. Governor George, who has lived in Bayam for many years, is well aware that when the coffee harvest season comes, thousands of pounds of coffee beans will be shipped from here to the country and sold to the other three countries in the northern continent.

This means that this month's income will be much more than the previous month's.

At the beginning of the month, he wrote in a telegram to Duke Negan that he expected to get a profit of 150,000 pounds this month. After deducting his own part, the Negan family could get about 100,000 pounds. After the repeal of the Corn Laws, this has been considered a large income.

But now, the amount handed in is more than enough for Governor George himself, which also includes other sources of income such as the "Gold Coin Casino". If he only relies on the money handed over by these companies, he will not even be able to share his own money.

He slammed the reports on the table, his puffy eyes staring at a middle-aged man in a tuxedo suit and a secretary in front of the desk:

"Henry, tell me, why all this? My money! Did those guys steal my money!"

Secretary Henry swallowed~www.novelbuddy.com~ did not dare to look at those puffy and bloodshot eyes:

"Mr. Governor, I have already asked someone to check the accounts of various companies, and I have also asked some people. From... From the current point of view..."

He took a step back calmly, "From the current point of view, there should be no problem."

"Should?" George Negan repeated the word softly, grabbed the statements and smashed them in Henry's face, "Should! Do you know how much this word is worth? That's 100,000 pounds!"

The secretary didn't dare to dodge, he immediately bent down to pick up the bodyguard, lowered his head and continued to explain:

"Mr. Governor, our coffee beans have achieved a bumper harvest this year, and the quality is quite good, which is comparable to the high-quality coffee of East and West Balam, so a group of businessmen have pre-ordered a large batch of coffee beans. But because of the 'Black Emperor' Frequent haunts, as well as the looting of many pirates, these reserved coffee beans have been backlogged at the dock.

We have not delivered the goods for a long time, and we have to pay high liquidated damages. Moreover, the weather has been bad recently, and many coffee berries have already started to ferment because it is too late to dry, which affects the subsequent sales.

According to Quest Bayer and others, we would have lost even more if it hadn’t been a while since coffee was just maturing and production hadn’t peaked. But at the same time, it will reduce the supply of coffee on the market and increase the price, so if the pirates can be driven out as soon as possible and the weather turns clear, then we will not lose much money. "

"So, you mean, I'll have less money in the future?"

George Negan's voice echoed faintly in the office, causing a layer of cold sweat to break out on Henry's back.
