Chapter 22 Secret Meeting
Doroar, the capital of Adams Province, was covered with dark clouds on this night.
Several shadows appeared at the end of the street, moving to an alley next to the wall, and then one of them stayed and looked around. The others turned into the depths of the alley. Next to a pile of garbage in the depths, a small door suddenly opened. There was no light in it. Several dark shadows fished in, but the people at the mouth of the alley turned to the other Walk in one direction and disappear into the night.
Several dark shadows entering the room walked in the narrow corridor, making clear footsteps. Then they saw a wooden door with lights in it. They pushed open the wooden door and saw several guards looking at them with long swords.
"Oh." With a crisp sound, several new dark shadows also pulled out their swords and guarded the bright 23 numbers, proving that these swords belonged to the 23rd Legion.
"Guard, put down your weapons. This is the guest." The only middle-aged man sitting in the room said, "Thank you for your late-night visit, Commander Lance, Deputy Commander Roderick." The middle-aged man said, "Please sit down." Several guards heard the order and put away their swords.
And several dark shadows also put away their swords one after another. One of the shadows took off their cloak and showed soft armor and short yellow hair. At the age of 40, a pair of small eyes stared sharply at the middle-aged man talking opposite him and said, "There must be something important to discuss when you come to me in the middle of the night. Don't beat around the corner. Claude, you should know that Adams' businessman and the army are a little tense now.
"Of course, I know." Claude took a sip of the tea in front of him and said slowly, "I came to you to relieve this tension."
"How do you plan to relieve it?" Lance sat opposite Claude, and an elegant soldier behind him also took off his cloak and sat next to Lance, Roderick, the deputy commander of the 23rd Infantry Army.
"We want to buy you with money." Claude threw a gold coin.
"Oh?" Lance was stunned, looked at a gold coin in front of him, and said with a smile, "We are not cheap. How much are you going to take out?"
"20 million gold coins in your hand!" Claude said softly, Roderick was stunned, and Lance also looked at Claude in a staringly.
"We will rely on your legion to fight for Adams' independence!" Claude gritted his teeth and said.
"This is impossible. Of course, the more money, the better, but we have to spend our lives. As soon as the army of the Holy City arrives, we are all doomed." Lance said with a laugh.
"What if the army of the Holy City can't come?" Claude still said in a gentle tone.
"How can you make the army of the Holy City unable to come?" Lance was stunned. If the army of the Holy City could not go out, there was indeed a chance of winning.
"Half of the taxes in the north of our country have not been handed over to the treasury in Lovik. If we take Lovik as quickly as possible, what will the Holy City send troops to fight against us? Just in case, we can also contact the Eternal Night Empire. I think they are very willing to help start a war, as long as we businessmen are willing to pay. Claude said confidently.
"But as cannon fodder, the price is too low." Lance put on a cloak, and Roderick also put on a cloak. If Mr. Claude has figured out the chips, I don't mind discussing it again. I slept at home tonight and nothing happened. Goodbye.
Several shadows launched the secret room. After walking a distance, Roderick, who followed behind, said to Lance in front of him: "Your Excellency, if you can become emperor, the 23rd Army is willing to fight for this except for the 2nd Infantry Regiment, even if the whole army is destroyed. "
"Rodrick, I know, that's why I have bargaining chips, right?" Lance smiled and said, "Go home and have a good sleep. We don't have to worry."
At this moment, on the other end of the mainland, Acado, who got off work, met an embarrassed McVlon at the door of the recording room. The huge figure squatted in the corner, as if a pile of iron ingots were piled there.
"Who are you waiting for, McVlon?" Arcado came to McVlon, bowed his head and asked, "If I know him, I can help you shout out."
"I, I, I'm fine. Let's go first." McVlon stood up and brought a gust of wind, trying to bypass Arcado and leave.
"Are you really all right?" Arcado felt that this big man had something to do and seemed to come to himself.
"He is here to borrow money from you." Behind Akado, a voice came. Akado turned around and found that it was Old Tom. Old Tom came up and hooked Akado's shoulder and pulled closer and said, "He is a good at working. He is strong and can fight very well. He doesn't have any bad hobbies. He doesn't drink or gamble. Even I admire him very much. Unfortunately, he has My sister is a sick man. She has been lying in ** for almost 1 year and has not been cured. At first, he made money to treat his sister. Later, he didn't have enough money, so he borrowed it from everyone and won by playing black fists. In the end, everyone here borrowed it all. There is really nothing I can do. I guess I don't know the details of this guy when I just came here today. So let's try our luck." After saying that, he left step by step.
Acardo smiled and came to the dock and found that it was almost dark. There were almost no boats on the dock, and there was a figure squatting there, waiting for the arrival of the work.
Acado walked over carefully and heard a simple voice without walking halfway: "I know someone is coming. Are you going to sneak up on me?"
Arcado didn't expect the strong man to be so vigilant that he walked over quickly and looked at McVaron and said, "Can you take me to see your sister?"
"Why do you want to see my sister?" McVaron looked at Arcado with some vigilance, as if he wanted to see if Arcado had any bad ideas.
"I lend money to a person, and I always need to know how he spends money, right?" Akado said with a smile.
"Would you like to lend me money?" McVaron obviously didn't believe it: "Did that old drunkard tell you? Are you still going to help me? Maybe I won't be able to pay your debt in my lifetime. McVaron continued: "You don't know how much money I owe, the whole 7 gold coins. I calculated that I just won't see my sister. If I pay back the money alone, I have to carry 35,000 bags of goods. I can carry 60 goods every day. I have to resist for 2 years without eating or not eating. In addition to the rent and meals, I have to pay it back for 20 years. "
"That's right, you're right." Arcado said with a smile, "It seems that you are good at math."
"Do you still want to lend me money now?" McVlon said angrily.
"Why not? A person who has been bankrupt twice still remembers the debt, which is a good phenomenon. Arcado said with a smile, "Let's go and see your sister."
