Lord: I have a skill talent tree

After the dinner, Ethan invited Duke Baldwin to watch a concert.

There is only one performer at the concert.

Yes, of course Catherine.

Although there was only one person, Catherine sometimes transformed into a bearded man, soared into tenor and sang "Nessun Dorma" from "La Bohème".

Sometimes she transforms into a mature lady, raising the soprano voice and singing the "Holy Goddess" from "Norma".

Then she transformed into a pure and beautiful girl and presented an ethereal "Elaine".

Then he turned into a white-haired old man and performed a vicissitudes of song "Spring in the North Country".

…

Finally, he directly transformed into the legendary [Angel of Holy Light] Gabriel Engels and ended the night's performance with a song "Song of the Angel of Holy Light".

Everyone present was mesmerized by the song and could not extricate themselves from the artistic conception of the song.

Duke Baldwin once again understood the luxury of Maro City, and the feeling of two worlds became even stronger.

The next day, Ethan invited Duke Baldwin to spend a morning at a specialized golf course.

This was Duke Baldwin's first experience with the sport, but he clearly had a talent for it.

From not understanding it at all, to getting started, to being able to master it easily, it only took two hours, and then I completely fell in love with this sport.

In the afternoon, the group went to Port Willen to visit the Lawson family's shipyard.

Duke Baldwin paid special attention to the installation of the [Windbreaker] system and listened carefully to the engineer's introduction.

After the visit, we boarded a newly built cruise ship and went out to sea for some fun.

Yes, a sailboat cruise ship.

When Duke Baldwin saw this cruise ship with an open tail and descending levels from bottom to top like a staircase, everyone was stunned.

Because this boat completely subverted his concept of boats.

After boarding the ship, I found that the decoration on the ship was extremely luxurious, with a dazzling array of furniture and even a heated game pool.

He couldn't even imagine how much money it would cost to build such an ingenious ship, let alone what kind of extravagant life the Great Sword Master usually lived.

It was also at this time that he redefined the word luxury.

In this way, Duke Baldwin spent two days happily with Ethan's company.

In the past two days, the two of them didn't talk about anything serious.

However, the team behind the two discussed it nonstop for five days and five nights.

Yes, before Duke Baldwin arrived, a negotiation involving comprehensive cooperation between Maro City and White Rose had already begun.

If not, how could Ethan spend a lot of money to entertain Duke Baldwin.

When Duke Baldwin left on the third day, the Maro City Council signed a number of strategic cooperation agreements with the Holy Rose Family.

Including "Establishment of Paper Currency Trade Area", "Mutual Defense Agreement", "Seine River Traffic Agreement", "One Holy Rose Family Principle"...

With the signing of these agreements, it indicates that Maro City and Dawn City will have in-depth exchanges and cooperation in economy, military, politics and culture.

In addition to these strategic agreements, Duke Baldwin also ordered ten cargo ships equipped with the [Windbreaker] system from the Lawson family on the spot, as well as a large amount of strategic materials.

After sending Duke Baldwin away, Ethan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that it would end up like this.

Originally, he just wanted to extend the process of the Rose Civil War by funding the Red Rose Family, thereby promoting paper currency around the world.

But after reading a letter sent by Duke Baldwin, I was completely conquered by the blueprint of the grain-producing triangle area described by the other party.

It has to be said that the other party's plan to bind banknotes to the entire grain-producing triangle is much more clever than delaying the Rose Civil War.

If the promotion of banknotes is compared to an ancient siege, delaying the Rose Civil War is like a forced siege. Killing one thousand enemies will also cost you eight hundred.

On the other hand, this blueprint seems to attack the city first and attack the heart first, so that other areas can be made to obey without spending a single soldier.

After all, there is only so much food. When you cannot produce food yourself, the only way is to purchase it from outside.

The largest grain-producing areas are already jointly promoting paper currency settlement. No matter what the situation, as long as you need food, you must accept paper currency settlement, otherwise you will go hungry.

It is also because of this blueprint that Ethan's entire banknote promotion strategy has now changed.

Of course, changes in strategy mean new problems arise.

Currently, the only members of the Paper Money Alliance in the grain-producing triangle area are Maruo City and Dawn City.

If you want to completely bind the banknotes to the grain-producing triangle, you have to convince the other two members of the triangle - Daybreak City and Icathia City.

To be honest, if you want to convince these two families, don't be too simple, because there is no need to convince at all.

These two are both traditional missionary sites of the Holy Light Religion, and the food franchise has always been in the hands of the Holy Light Religion.

In other words, if you want to achieve your goal, you don't need to pay attention to the local nobles at all, you just need to get through the Holy Light Religion.

The Holy Light Religion was originally a beneficiary of the banknote promotion plan and was also a member, so it only needed to get through Capudo, and the rest was an internal matter within the Holy Light Religion.

However, it is still a bit difficult for Capto to settle this matter.

After all, since they hold the majority of the grain management rights, if they want to hand it over, the share of paper money income must also change.

However, due to insufficient consideration at the beginning, only 5% of the share was reserved, which was definitely not enough.

In fact, even this 5% has been taken away by Duke Baldwin now.

In other words, all that should be distributed has been distributed, and there is no surplus.

And if the Holy Light Church cannot be given enough shares, it is obviously impossible to persuade the Holy Light Church to do things.

This is also the case. When Ethan met with Capudo alone to discuss this matter, Capudo was there complaining.

He said that the churches in various regions have different situations due to their different affiliations. He wanted to unify their thoughts and hand over the grain management rights to the Maro City Grain Bureau. He was limited in his ability and could not do it.

In short, there were a lot of reasons, and then he concluded that he could not do it.

Although Ethan knew that he was shirking, he had no bargaining chips to exchange with him, so he was helpless.

Finally, he tentatively asked how much share was enough for the Holy Light Church to unify its thoughts.

Capudo hesitated and reported 45%.

Ethan was almost amused by this offer: "You guys in the Holy Light Church have a really big appetite, aren't you afraid of being overfed?"

Capudo smiled, but didn't answer the question of whether he was overfed or not, instead he said:

"I know there aren't enough shares to distribute now, so this is difficult to do.

However, I have an idea, how about you listen to it?"

"Please go ahead!"

"I remember that you set the reserve fund at 60% at the beginning, don't you think it's too high?

If it is lowered to 50%, then the extra 10% will not be distributed to all, but all given to us.

So, this 10% reserve fund is equivalent to 25% of our current allocation.

This plus the 15% that our Holy Light Church currently has, we can get a 40% share.

If that's the case, we can barely accept it even if we take less."

After hearing this, Ethan's face turned cold.

"My dear Mr. Caputo, please don't play numbers games in front of me, let alone think about the reserve fund.

That is the safety red line of the banknotes. I will cut whoever dares to touch it.

You are not allowed to mention it, remember?"

Caputo was frightened by Ethan's sudden rage and trembled all over.

He didn't want to show fear, but his body was out of control.

This finally made him recall the fear that had not appeared for a long time.

However, Ethan's protection of the banknote safety red line also made him more confident in the banknotes, and he had more expectations for the huge benefits that might come in the future.

At this moment, he wanted to give up some profits, but he knew very well that this was not something he could decide alone.

"Okay! Mr. Ethan, as you wish, I will never mention the reserve fund again in the future.

It's just that I can't help you with your blueprint."
