Age of Mysticism

   Howling Gnoll signed the agreement on the establishment of the Western Territory Logistics and the Western Territory Commercial Road Development Plan, and the Western Territory commercial development project led by Luke was officially launched.

  According to the agreement and plan, Screaming is responsible for persuading Sand Pirates to change their careers, using the information they have in their hands to actively engage in the material circulation industry in the Western Territory. Luke is in charge of the whitewashing process of sand thieves. As long as they run the business honestly, all the crimes they committed can be written off.

  If someone still wants to mix double identities, the empire may not be able to control it, but the Moonlight Royal Court definitely has a way to keep him from mixing in the western region.

   Carrots and sticks made Gnoll Screaming very cooperative. He even voluntarily handed over a part of the list of sand robbers and safe roads, and not only accepted the certificate of investment, but also got the first investment from Raging Waves City.

   Things settled down, and Luke threw a thick stack of gold coupons to Screaming.

   "These are considered to be the start-up funds for Xijing Logistics Company. If you are willing to make money with me, we are the veterans of Xijing Logistics Company. If you don't want to make money with me, I will not force it. I will give him a sum of money and let him fend for himself.

   Just don’t fall into my hands in the future. "

  Screaming howl grabbed the gold coupons in his hands and weighed them, it was estimated that there were two to three hundred gold coupons.

  Such a big deal made Screaming even more sure of the correctness of his choice to follow Governor Meteor.

He stood up and saluted Luke respectfully: "Please rest assured, Governor. I can't guarantee that there will be no sand robbers in the western region in the future, but I can guarantee that there will be no successful sand robbers in the future. Your business routes are absolutely safe, and your investment will definitely be rewarded." return."

"Of course I believe that my investment will pay off, otherwise I wouldn't come to you." Luke stood up and straightened his clothes, and then said to Scream: "Let's stop here for today's meeting! In the next few days, I have important things to deal with, don't come to me if there is nothing urgent.

   After all the things that need to be done are done, I will discuss with you in detail how the Xijing Logistics Company should operate. "

Screaming immediately accompanied Luke to go out, and asked tentatively: "What's the important thing for the Governor? We still have some strength in Sunshine City. If you give me some time, I can provide the Governor with hundreds of elite warriors." .”

  Luke saw through Screaming's small thoughts, he chuckled and said: "From now on, you will be a regular businessman, and a businessman should look like a businessman. What are you calling hundreds of warriors to Sunshine City for?

  Rebel? "

  Screaming and terrified, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Governor! The sudden change of identity made me uncomfortable. I just meant it well."

   "No matter what you think, don't participate in the battle at the national level, your family background... can't afford it.

  Have the time and energy, just do what you should do clearly! "

  Luke beat and howled.

  Since the knives in the hands of these sand thieves have been taken away, they can no longer be given a chance to touch the knives, and their desire to touch the knives has also been cut off. Otherwise, once this mouth is opened, these vicious people will be difficult to control.

  Xijing logistics company can have force, but force must be strictly controlled within the required range.

  Scream understood Luke's words, and knew that lawless sand bandits were really going to be a thing of the past in the western region.

   "As you order, Your Excellency Governor."

  Luke left Slave Point and returned to the Lake Castle in the center of Sunyao Manor. He was told that His Royal Highness the Princess had summoned him as soon as he entered the gate.

  Luke followed the eldest princess's personal lady to Agatha's bedroom. Agatha was standing on the terrace looking at the scenery outside, her white dress was very eye-catching, but there was some worried look on her brows.

  The female officer reported: "Your Highness, Governor Meteor is here."

  Agatha turned her back and waved her hands to let the female officer leave. The female officer withdrew and closed the door.

  Luke walked to the terrace and asked after looking outside, "What is Your Highness looking at?"

   "I'm looking at the defensive layout of the castle. I don't know if we can defend until rescue arrives in the face of a siege."

  Luke couldn't help laughing: "Since we entered Sunshine City, people and animals have been harmless and focused on shopping. Who will besiege us? Is it because the money given to you is spent and there is nothing to do, so we are here thinking wildly?"

Agatha turned her head, stared at Luke with sharp eyes, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Don't think I'm stupid. I admit that I didn't know why you made me go crazy shopping at first, but the prices in the Sunshine City market have risen these days. Gao, let me clear up your plan.

   Raise the price of the harvest festival, and increase the cost of maintaining the operation of the territory for the lords of the western border.

   Very nice plan!

   But have you ever wondered how we got out of here? Do you think the nobles of the Westlands will let us go? The great nobles of the western region are all here, and the Celtic envoys are also here. Not only will you kill us here, but you'll push the Westlands to the side of the Celts.

  You have done very well in Raging Waves City and Saint Lun City, but you don’t know much about the West Territory, so you should tell me your plans in advance! "

  At this time, Agatha couldn't control her emotions. She felt that she trusted Meteor too much, and Meteor's previous performance made her lose the judgment she should have.

   Now that the Harvest Festival is about to be held, the price of Sunshine City has been raised. This is like inserting a knife into the aorta of the aristocrats in the western region to bleed. These nobles who are wandering on the edge of the empire's ruled area will definitely not sit still.

   Agatha took a step towards Luke oppressively, resisting the urge to press him against the wall and beat him up.

   Luke faced Agatha who was clearly angry but still controlled his emotions, and felt that it was time to explain to her what he had done.

  And some things also require the endorsement of the princess of the empire.

  But before Luke could explain, the female officer opened the door and walked in. Seeing how Agatha and Luke were facing each other and being so close, she immediately shifted her gaze to one side.

   "Your Highness, Lord Governor, Earl Ould is here. He asked to be interviewed by Lord Governor Meteor..."

   Agatha realized that she had lost her composure at this time, she immediately took a step back, and then noticed the female officer's words.

   "Earl Ould said that he requested an interview with Governor Meteor. Are you sure he used 'request' and 'interview'?"

   Earl Ould is the title of Earl, and Meteor is the title of Viscount.

   Earl Ould is the lord of the Sunshine Oasis, and Meteor is the governor of Raging City.

   Earl Ould is higher than Meteor in terms of title and position. How could he use this kind of honorific "down" to "up" when he came to see Meteor?

   Come to see yourself and say this kind of thing.

  The female officer confirmed: "Earl Ould indeed said so. He is waiting for the reply from Governor Meteor in the living room on the second floor."

  There must be a story in it.

  Agatha looked at Luke, and asked with doubts in her eyes: "What is he looking for you for?"

  Luke knew that Earl Ould must have understood the information he revealed to him.

Guessing the purpose of Uld's visit this time, Luke said to Agatha: "Since Earl Uld is here to catch the window, Your Highness will go to see him with me. By the way, I can explain to Your Highness that I have been working hard these days. What have you done.

Do not worry! No one is besieging us. "

   After speaking, Luke walked out the door and asked the female officer to lead the way to see Earl Ould.

  Agatha looked at Luke's back, and couldn't help showing a self-deprecating smile on her face: "It seems that you are still the guy who can perform miracles. I don't know what kind of surprise you can bring me this time."

   Agatha strode to keep up.

   Earl Ould, who was waiting in the living room on the second floor of the castle, was very restless. Although this was his own castle, he didn't feel like he was at home at all.

  I just made a difficult choice myself, a choice that can affect how the Uld family will exist in the future. This window period is fleeting, and I don't allow myself to waste too much time thinking and weighing.

   Without keeping Earl Uld waiting for too long, Luke opened the door first and walked in.

   "Your Excellency..." Earl Ould immediately stood up and saluted Luke. After seeing Agatha coming in with him, he saluted Agatha again: "Good day, Your Royal Highness, good day, Your Excellency the Governor."

   "Good day Earl, please sit down!" Luke asked Earl Ould to sit down, and himself and Agatha also sat down, and then asked, "Is the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic with you?"

  Agatha couldn't help looking at Luke who was sitting beside her, thinking, can this thing be asked directly?

   But who would have thought that Earl Ould replied: "Yes, the special envoy of the Earl of Celtic indeed lives in Sunshine Manor. The governor should know this special envoy. His name is Erguya, and he has been to Raging City."

   "That barbarian in Erguya?" Luke didn't expect the Celtic envoy to be an acquaintance, and he said to Earl Ould: "Although I haven't met him, I know that he is relied on by the Celtic Duke.

  Has he met you powerful nobles in the western region? "

   Earl Ould replied: "This morning in the basement of Jingting on the southeast side of the manor, I held a meeting with the main nobles in the western region, and Erguya attended the whole process."

   "What was talked about?"

  This time Uld hesitated a little, and beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.

  Luke knew what Uld was worried about, so he comforted him: "His Royal Highness is here this time, this is your chance and the only chance.

  What to say, the Uld family will still be a prominent family in the western region in the future, and even have a higher status than now. If you were given a chance and you couldn't grasp it...it would be a waste of my sincere desire to give you a hand. "

  At this time, although Agatha didn't know what Luke had done to Earl Ould, making him the second son of a nobleman in the Western Region, she knew what she should do now.

Agatha showed the aura of the eldest princess of the empire, and said to Earl Uld: "No matter what you discussed, it is still in the discussion stage. The empire will not convict you for something that has not happened. A friend of the empire's frontiers.

  Of course they will not disappoint those who have contributed to the empire.

  Your coming means you know you have no chance of winning, so do what smart people should do. "

   Now that the matter has come to this point, Earl Uld can only fight it out.

   "At this meeting, the nobles of the Western Region reached an alliance and jointly sent troops to attack the New Moon Oasis after the Harvest Festival. At the same time, the Noble Association of the Western Region jointly called on all members of the Brotherhood of Blades...to rebel..."

   After saying this, Earl Ould couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After taking this step, he has no other thoughts.

  The decision of the nobles in the western region was within Luke's expectation, and the timing was just right, just forcing Uld to his side.

  Now that Earl Ould has turned his back on the water, Sunshine City has become his home court.

  The rest is to catch the turtle in the urn, close the door and beat the dog.

  Luke asked Earl Ould again: "You...no, when will they decide to attack me and His Highness?"

"tonight!"

   This is also the reason why Earl Ould can't wait to come and surrender. If he can't get rid of himself from this incident after tonight, he and the nobles of the Western Region will be the sandwich cakes of the Moonlight King's Court and the Golden Shield Empire.

   Now Uld can no longer think about how the empire will deal with him in the future. He saved the eldest princess of the empire, at least the family will not end in extinction.

  Luke didn't expect that the group of Western nobles would be so anxious. They had a meeting in the morning and couldn't wait to kill himself and Agatha in the evening. It is estimated that Erguya has contributed a lot in it. After all, he can feel at ease by making the rebellion of the nobles in the western region a reality as soon as possible.

  But since Earl Ould came over, it doesn't matter when they do it.

  Luke glanced at Agatha, knowing that she was calm on the surface, but she must be in a daze in her heart. There is no need to think about counting on the eldest princess to make decisions. Luke said to Uld: "With the power of Sunshine City, can we wipe out the rebels in the shortest time?"

Earl Ould said in embarrassment: "The nobles in the western region are very wary. They come to Sunshine City to participate in the Harvest Festival with powerful guards. Most of Sunshine City's military forces are maintaining the order of the city, and there are people inside and outside the city. A large number of barbarians have gathered, if the battle spreads out...it may cause riots in the city."

   Luke nodded, Earl Ould's worry was very reasonable.

  Once the battle is extended, the barbarians inside and outside the city will not know who the battle is aimed at, and once the riot breaks out, it will be uncontrollable.

So Luke said to Agatha: "If all these nobles are punished, I am afraid their successors will be used by the Celtic Duke. It is better to narrow the target of extermination to those who come from the Tedgar Hills, which can disintegrate the Celtics. The strategy in the western region minimized the adverse impact on the empire.

  I have another way to deal with them, so let them go this time. "

   Agatha has been confused since she came in. She has no idea what Meteor has done to cause such an upside-down change in the Western Territory.

  But it is definitely not buying, buying, buying by yourself every day, this is the situation when buying.

  Now Agatha really can't make a decision, and dare not make a decision. Of course, Luke does what he says.

  However, gestures should be done.

   "I just said that what didn't happen didn't happen. Some nobles in the western region were deceived by the Celts and said something that shouldn't be said. I don't think my father will mind.

  All culprits are Celts, and we only pursue the crimes of the culprit.

   It should not be difficult for Sunshine City to deal with the Celtic envoy. "

   Earl Ould immediately replied: "It's not difficult, Erguya and the people he brought are confined to their residence by me. As long as Her Royal Highness gives the order, I will immediately send people to launch a siege against them.

  It’s just that there is an abyss mage with Erguya, and there seems to be an abyss apostle in it, which may be a little tricky. "

  At this moment, a voice sounded in the room: "Just leave the abyss apostle to me."

   Agatha looked at the elf who suddenly appeared in the room, and stood up happily: "Miss Weatherlight, have you also come to the West?"
