Chapter 225 Exemption
Section 220V Exemption
Rodia took Belleur out of this cramped room.The latter's mind was so confused at this time that he was completely in a state of being out of his mind, and could only follow Rodia step by step.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself walking on the street, specifically: wearing that set of pajamas - the texture of this set of pajamas is not bad, but walking on the street in broad daylight is a bit of a turn-off ——holding Rodia's hand in his hand, he walked in the middle of the street like no one else was around.
"Where are we going?"
"The Temporary Palace, the residence of the former Minister of Regent." Rodia replied.
"Oh, I thought... didn't you say you'd give Prime Minister Alyn a headache for a while longer?"
"I've had a headache for a long time. If our Prime Minister Alyn doesn't have a cerebral hemorrhage, it's the will of the gods. What can a mortal like me do?" She suddenly smiled ambiguously at Baelor . "I thought Ashuruffat was crazy, but I didn't expect there to be someone more exaggerated than him."
Baylor immediately realized that Rodia's words implied something.
"May I ask why you gave your private money to the country as military expenses?" Luo Diya asked in a low voice. "I remember that this time the church tried hard to persuade... and it also gave quite a lot of benefits."
"You may not know how bad our country's financial situation is..." Baylor sighed in a low voice. "After all, our country went all out in the Battle of Kalean before, and the losses were too heavy."
"Oh, if that's the case, then why don't you simply hand over your annual income from the territory directly to the national treasury?"
"Ha, ma'am, you must understand that that kind of behavior is extremely stupid. Although I am willing to share the country's worries, I can't buy hatred with money."
"Oh, I really don't understand." Rodia replied half-truthfully. "You mean someone will be jealous?"
"It's not jealousy, it's a very simple truth." Baylor replied patiently.He has already divided part of his mind to observe the surroundings. "The first time I did it, it would have filled everyone with gratitude. But it wouldn't take a few years for that gratitude to disappear and everyone would take it for granted that I would hand over my annual income to the treasury. If one day I If you stop doing this, His Majesty the King will probably be furious..." Belle shrugged, "According to a certain philosopher, human beings are weak, ungrateful and unrighteous... Humans who can get rid of this nature One in a thousand. I admit, that's a harsh statement, but it's not unreasonable."
"Hehe." Luo Diya said with a charming smile.On the surface, she was holding Belle's arm, but in fact she was leading him forward.It was no wonder that Belleel was not familiar with the roads of Falcon City at all, so he could only follow Rodia's direction.
And he also noticed that Luo Diya's identity is not as simple as "shop owner".Because he found that there were five or six tough-looking people following them in the crowd.These people kept a very clever distance from him. If it was a careless person, it might be just accidental to misidentify them.
Although Belleur is a nobleman through and through, he has also heard about the underground world of big cities.And the situation in these dark worlds should be similar all over the world, and Falcon City is no exception.
Rodia was able to make such a blatant and bold move, which meant that she should not be the boss' mistress.But she is a woman after all... And she is a woman with little combat power... And the situation in this regard... Belleer knows that in these underground worlds, things like chastity and integrity are far less important than money, everything about human beings Codes of ethics may not be universal.
For a big business, let the mistress come out to accompany other men... This is impossible for ordinary businessmen, nobles and even civilians, but it is hard to say for those gang leaders.
"Ms. Luodia, your subordinates are very good." Belleur tentatively asked. "Last night, they were the ones who discovered my situation in time, right?"
"Hehe. Everyone said that you are a great wise man, but I didn't expect that you didn't care about your own safety at all." Rodia didn't refute, which acquiesced to Belle's previous speculation. "You should consider yourself lucky."
"Not only lucky, but honored," Baylor replied.Wait, the queen's temporary tutor...a gang leader in the underworld...a bustling street that could become a gangster's cornucopia...a thriving hotel...a secret agent who keeps disappearing in Falcon City...all these things On the surface, it seems that there is no connection at all, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Beler's mind, and a thought ran through all these clues at once, and gathered an answer.
"Ms. Rodia, can I ask a little question?" Belle asked with a smile. "You can get your current status, our little queen must have contributed a lot. Oh, maybe she didn't contribute, but you must have borrowed a lot."
"Haha, you can put it that way." Rodia glanced at Belleur. "Master Belleur seems to want to know something."
"Ah, unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy the news I need." Baylor said deliberately.
"Ah, no, I found that my train of thought went wrong just now." Rodia said. "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have money now or not."
"Would you like to message me for free?"
"As long as your income is real, that's fine. Yes, that's right, with your credit, you can borrow money! Any chamber of commerce will be happy to lend it to you." She grabbed Belle's arm and asked Go in another direction.
Contrary to her expectation, Belleur didn't resist much, letting her drag her towards the other side.
"Speaking of which, many spies from our country have disappeared in Falcon City..."
"Hehe, in such a big Falcon City and such a big Lunqing River, how many people didn't drown?" Rodia said. "There are unlucky people who stumble while walking by the river, even though they are not good at water, and such idiots can't be killed. In other words, it would be strange if no one drowned someday."
"So, Ms. Luodia's territory...is more than just this one street?"
"This is the 'Flower Street'. I used to be here only, but now I can walk around the whole city..."
No wonder, if the underground world and the above-ground world are colluding... Even spies who have received relevant training will find it difficult to completely hide their whereabouts.Because in theory, it is almost impossible to unite the court where the country is the most important and the underground world where the interests are the most important...the two.
Baylor turned his head and glanced at the one beside him.The one was muscular, with bald tattoos, wearing a sleeveless leather armor, and carrying a scary-looking machete in his waist.And his hand was always on the handle of the machete.In a word, this person exudes the smell of "I'm dangerous, don't approach me" all over his body, and passers-by instinctively avoid him.
This is also a proof.Theoretically speaking, any city's security force—of course, this refers to the official security force—would not allow such a blatantly armed person to walk in broad daylight.In a big city, there's usually an area that accommodates such people, but this area clearly wasn't.
Baylor has been keenly aware of something.In fact, the political power map of all parties in Falcon City that he had conceived before had changed unconsciously at this moment.
"Ashrufat...has a conflict with Alyn?"
"It's inevitable. That old man is very conservative. Anyone who is not from aristocratic background will be hostile to him." Rodia replied casually. "Didn't you meet him yesterday, don't you see it at all?"
"I thought he was posturing," Baylor said.
"What does he need to pretend?" Rodia asked back. "Those guys... all their minds are to restore Falcon City to its original state... to the way it was when the former king was here. If it weren't for the fact that they really don't have any suitable candidates now, it is estimated that Ashuruffat wants to fight against the barbarians this time There are difficulties."
Beler firmly remembered the details revealed by Rodia's words.Face to face with Luo Diya, he may not be the opponent.But when it comes to finding information that is inadvertently revealed from the other party's words, he is a real master.
"However, Eileen mishandled me this time and put me in such a great danger. I guess he will feel ashamed for a while, and let his flag die down for a while," Baylor said.
"That's right, so you see, believers of evil gods will do some good things by chance."
"You think it's a good thing that I was killed?"
"Of course not, I'm just very happy to see every setback that Ailin has encountered. Speaking of which, Lord Baelor, you must know that if you die in Falcon City, Ailin must resign as an apology. Even so, I think Tiberius...wouldn't accept it."
"If I die, even if there is no war between the two countries, the matter of the coalition forces will fall through." Beler replied in a matter-of-fact manner. "This means that even under the best of circumstances, in the war between Gruene and the barbarians / will lose tens of thousands of allied troops. So you should not think so. In the war, these 2 people may decide the strong Weak wins."
"Haha, I don't care about this. Even if the battle is defeated, the church will mobilize the coalition forces of all countries."
"Then I'm really sorry, dear Ms. Luodia, the power of the church is not as strong as you imagined." Belle said with a smile.
"Oh, I always thought that the church is omnipotent. At least, they have the Holy Knights."
"There is no Holy Knight Order anymore." Belleil sighed softly.Speaking of this, he can't help but sigh with emotion. "Since the greenskins... last large-scale invasion and finally destroyed the city of Oren, there have been no new holy knights. So there is no holy knights. Speaking of it, I have a vague feeling. Holy Did the knights appear specifically to deal with vampires? Because before the Battle of Kalyan, holy knights appeared continuously. But once the Battle of Kalyan was over and the vampires were wiped out, this situation completely disappeared. Now, You can’t even find a few holy knights to support your appearance.”
"The will of the gods is unpredictable." Rodia didn't have the experience of Bellel, so she didn't care about this matter at all.
While talking, they had already arrived at the office of a chamber of commerce - not the branch of Falcon City, but the office located on the side of Huajie.A staff member came out to greet her, and Rodia was quick to make her request.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Belle can't do this. Ms. Rodia," the clerk knew Rodia—how could he not? "Because Mr. Baylor is already heavily in debt, we cannot lend him a loan. Sorry, but this is the rule of our chamber of commerce."
"Heavy in debt?" Rodia turned to look at Belleur beside her.
"Look," Baylor spread his hands helplessly. "I am not responsible for this. You seem to have never asked this. In order to raise funds, I not only took out all my property, but also borrowed a large sum of money by the way."
Rodia smiled, her smile was so sweet that Belle hesitated for a short time.
Then in the next moment, taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Rodia kicked the man between his legs.
Rodia took Belleur out of this cramped room.The latter's mind was so confused at this time that he was completely in a state of being out of his mind, and could only follow Rodia step by step.
