Anything You Want

"I have doubts and doubts, and there are many points of confusion, and it is difficult to nod immediately. But..."

Crusius lowered his five-fingered hand and placed it directly on Noel's.

Noel's outstretched hand firmly overlapped with the thin white fingers of Curius.

"I've decided to trust your aura, and my eyes, who created this situation."

Yes, the negotiation was successful!

Seeing the scene where the two shook hands, Emilia lowered her shoulders exaggeratedly, and she let out a sigh of relief after pretending to be calm.

Soon the two let go of their hands and returned to their seats.

"Can you tell me the information now? Of course, you don't have to tell everything, but at least tell me how much time is left, so that my people can prepare."

"There's still about a day and a half before the beluga appear. Except for the time to go to the location, there is only one day left for tomorrow, and the time is very tight."

Chapter 68 I want to thank you

———————————————————————————————————

"Well, time is really tight."

After speaking, the index finger tapped the armrest of the seat rhythmically, and Crusius frowned slightly in thought.

Without making a sound, Phyllis and Wilhelm stood silently on the left and right behind Cursius, while Emilia and her group, who were sitting opposite her, waited patiently.

Well, except for one person.

Nuoer was the only one, his eyes were wandering around the living room, looking indifferent, not in a hurry because of the lack of time.

After a while, Crusius spoke up.

"According to past records, my current manpower alone is far from enough, and there is only one day left to prepare, even if I recruit people, I won't be able to recruit much."

"Can that mobilize the kingdom's army?"

Emilia asked without thinking.

Looking at Emilia, Crusch shook his head.

"There is no definite evidence that the monster of the mist will appear. It is impossible to mobilize the kingdom's army just by guessing, not to mention that no candidate has the right to mobilize the army during the king's election, unless another country invades or there is any special event. And there has to be a solid proof.”

"Miss Curius, you must have thought of a solution. I'm right."

Putting the teacup back on the negotiating table, Noel had already seen that Curius had his own plans, otherwise he would not have said it.

Of course, the reason why she said this is that her method requires the consent of herself and others, and what needs the consent of herself and others must have something to do with another candidate.

With a slight smile, Crusher didn't intend to beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.

"Anastasia has not left the capital so far, and she has a mercenary group that belongs to her. I believe she will be interested in the Mist Warcraft."

"You mean that you want Anastasia to join the team and use her mercenary group to slay the beluga whales. She, who often does business in the capital, can also help you contact other businessmen. Can I understand that?"

"Yes, that's what I planned."

Curius nodded in acknowledgement, then kept his eyes on Noel, waiting for his answer.

Noel really doesn't care if one more candidate joins, but he has to think about Emilia, so he can't rashly agree.

Looking at Emilia, she was about to ask her opinion softly, but her mouth opened slightly...

"I have no problem, let Anastasia join in."

Emilia spoke first, and directly agreed to Crusius' proposal.

Noel was stunned, and Curius opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He really didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

One must know that at the meeting three days ago, Anastasia was not very friendly to Emilia, but now she can decisively agree to cooperate with her, how can it not be surprising.

"I know what you are thinking, but with one more candidate as my witness, no one can erase the honor I deserve, and Anastasia, a businessman, can better handle things I have no reason not to agree to such a thing that kills two birds with one stone."

"It seems that I underestimated you before."

Crusher clapped his hands, applauded Emilia, and continued.

"Since you agreed, Phyllis, go to Anastasia's residence in the capital, explain our matter to her in detail, and ask her to give us an answer as soon as possible."

"Okay meow, then Feili-chan will leave first, Lord Crusius, Lord Emilia."

Seeing Cruxiu nodding, Phyllis left the reception room and quickly moved outside the room.

And next, we can only wait for Phyllis to bring back the news to see if Anastasia joins the operation, and then we can arrange other things.

Finally having free time, Crusher invited Emilia and a few people to have dinner while waiting for Phyllis to return.

As I'm about to leave the parlour...  

"His Royal Highness Noel."

Suddenly, Noel, who exchanged joy with Emilia, was called.

Looking at him, it was Wilhelm with a straight spine who looked at him with serious eyes. The old swordsman and Noel met their gazes, and the wrinkled and shrewd face was full of emotion.

"I want to thank you..."
