Old days in the box

Chapter 101 Begins to enter the advanced battlefield

After a few minutes.

In the meeting hall of Blade Bay, Sharon, Freya and Duke arrived one after another and sat down to discuss important matters in detail.

At the long table, Duke, who represented the Robert family, was sitting on pins and needles, his face very nervous, and he glanced to the left side of his seat from the corner of his eye from time to time.

On the left side of the long table, Freya, who was wearing a gold-rimmed armor, was sitting there, looking at Duke and the others with aura.

Sharon, on the other hand, sat on the right side, taking the opportunity to observe Mr. Duke's reaction before making his next plan.

Ever since Freya interrupted their conversation midway, the atmosphere of the whole meeting suddenly became tense - which made Zhou Xiao, who had been watching from a God's perspective, couldn't help but laugh.

Freya, who had been baptized by two battles in the Eastern and Western Continents, seemed to have the four characters "No strangers allowed" engraved on her forehead.

It seemed that it would take some time to get rid of her aura of wanting to draw a sword if she disagreed.

"This... Mr. Who is here? You can now tell me in detail. Why do you come to Beihai Kingdom?"

Freya saw that no one was talking, so she took the lead in asking questions at the long table.

"Mr. Duke came here on behalf of his family to discuss compensation matters. When we had a conflict with the Kingdom of Norway in this bay, we damaged a large number of ships in the port, including their cargo ships, and they were all destroyed indiscriminately. Destroyed.”

Sharon knew that Freya hadn't figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, so she briefly reported to her.

"Oh, that's what happened." Freya looked at Duke again with a look of realization, "I led the team to sink all the ships. I'm sorry, how much did you lose?"

"We sent a total of seven cargo ships for the first batch of transactions, including tobacco, fur, steel, etc., including the cargo and the ship, the loss is expected to be at least [-] gold francs!" The accountant's professional response was quick and he immediately answered plausibly. come out.

"Thirty thousand?" Freya suddenly stood up from her position, dissatisfied with this number.

Although she didn't know the exact value of thirty thousand gold francs, she knew it was a large number just by hearing it.

But what was embarrassing was that as soon as she stood up from her seat, a sharp sword slipped from her waist and fell to the ground with a clang.

Duke, the accountant, and Sharon all looked at the sword that fell to the ground at the same time, and looked at each other.

"This, this is not mine." Freya was stunned for a moment, then picked up the sharp sword at a very fast speed. Her hands melted the head and tail of the sword with high heat, and instantly melted it into a big iron ball and threw it outside the door. Added: "...I picked this up on the road."

Duke and the accountant were both shocked at the same time. This ability to forge a sword with bare hands must be something that at least a high-level transcendent in the church can do!

"In fact - I think I can, on behalf of the Robert family, waive the debt for the losses caused by your country this time!" At this time, Duke made a decisive decision and immediately waved his hand.

"Really?" Freya looked happy.

"As the family's investment advisor, I should strive for the best interests of the family. In my opinion, if I can reach trade cooperation with your country on behalf of the family, the value must be far higher than recovering losses. I don't know what you think. how?"

After all, Duke is still a sophisticated financier. Although he was shocked frequently along the way, his mind still moved very quickly.

No matter what the origin of this North Sea Kingdom was, what he saw in front of him was an industrial country with extremely advanced steam technology.

This place definitely has great trade potential!
"You are not stupid. You also know how to talk about cooperation." Zhou Xiao looked at them with interest, as if he was a real decision-maker hidden behind the scenes. "I agree! It's time for us to visit more distant continents and learn how to spread our faith peacefully." Freya slapped her thigh and said bluntly.

You can’t be so honest, sister!There is no need to say this in front of outsiders!Zhou Xiao suddenly complained in his heart.

At this moment, even Duke didn't know how to answer her words. Fortunately, Sharon took the words with a wry smile: "Of course we are grateful for your immunity from prosecution, but for cooperation-I hope to know more about Europa first. The current situation, and your family’s place in it.”

At this moment of high-level negotiations, Sharon had to know that she wanted to take the opportunity to find out more information about Europa.

"This request is very reasonable." Duke finally heard the familiar diplomatic tone. This was the question he was waiting for.

"You are in a relatively remote location, and you may not be familiar with it. Europa is a beacon of civilization. There are more than a dozen countries, large and small, standing here. Among them, the ones closest to your North Sea are the Frankish Kingdom and Brita. Principality of Nigeria.”

"Our Robert family made its fortune from the Principality of Brittany and has business all along the coast. It can be said to be one of the leading trading companies. The family has recently expanded its business to the Frankish Kingdom, and I am the person in charge."

Duke was obviously very proud when he introduced his family, and had been waiting for this opportunity to show off the strength of his family.

In the Principality of Brittany where they made their fortune, the Robert family was indeed a high-status trading house and one of the richest.

However, their expansion into the Frankish Kingdom was not smooth. As outsiders, they were squeezed out by many local companies and have always been in a state of acclimatization.

If Duke can reach a cooperative relationship with this magical country this time, maybe they can use this to turn around locally.

"But I remember you just mentioned that there is a Church of the God of Raging Waves in the Frankish Kingdom - I must explain clearly that our belief in the North Sea Kingdom is very devout, but not for this God of Raging Waves. We have our own gods of faith."

Sharon was very smart and quickly changed the topic to the issue of faith.

In the atrium world, the blessings of gods are generally concentrated in civilized areas. Faith is definitely a top priority and must be asked clearly.

"There is absolutely no need to worry about this. As I said, Europa is a gathering place of civilized countries, and most countries are tolerant of people of different faiths."

"As long as you do not believe in heretical gods or blaspheme the God of Raging Waves, the church will not only not cause trouble for you, but will even welcome you to come and spread your peaceful beliefs."

Duke's description surprised Zhou Xiao.

The barbarian countries he saw in Beihai were all very barbaric and had a unified belief system for all people, and they followed the practice of excluding dissidents. War between the two countries often occurred because of different beliefs.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao's development in Beihai has always been based on one word: fighting.

Through tough war tactics, the North Sea was finally completely unified into its own hands.

But now I hear what Duke says, the gameplay on this continent of Europa is indeed much more civilized and more obscure.

Country, trade, and faith are not bound to each other, nor do they completely overlap. They all flow in these countries on the continent of Europa in a dynamic way.

For example, a Breton who believes in the Sons of the Past can do business in the Frankish Kingdom and the North Sea, and there is no conflict between the three.

"It seems that just relying on fists is no longer enough. You have to be able to play with faith and people's hearts." Zhou Xiao dimly realized that he was beginning to truly leave Novice Village and was about to enter a more complex battlefield of faith.
