Soul Echo

Lily Lieber totally didn't expect, Zhong Ye actually 'heared it'.

But after being surprised, she noticed the information contained in what Zhong Ye said.

"The monster you met the day before yesterday?" Lily asked.

"The monster from Easterland?" Lillian also asked.

Looking at the two pairs of curious eyes, Zhong Ye nodded and said: "Yes, from what I heard, the frequency of the heartbeat and the speed of blood flow of Gombra Baron are the same as the 'painted skin' I encountered. Much like, just don't know when he was replaced."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Unfortunately, there was no physical contact with him, he kept acting vigilant— —I don’t know if you noticed, but Gombra Baron has been standing behind that table, and although he was very frightened, he was standing very far away from us.”

Zhong Ye said this, Lily immediately recalled the time scenario.

She closed her eyes, recalled the situation at that time, and found that Zhong Ye was right, that Gombra Baron's position was indeed far away from them.

——Since he knew her identity as a 'Princess', why would he do such impolite behavior?

This does not directly prove that Gombra Baron has been replaced by monster, but it supports what Zhong Ye heard.

"Then what should we do next?" Lillian asked, "Should we contact the church? If the clergy were to act with us, would we be able to find an opportunity to make him real? Your identity is exposed?"

"...No! You shouldn't do that!"

Zhong Ye didn't answer, Lily Lieber suddenly woke up from her thoughts, His eyes twinkled, "According to the previous guess, that Easterland monster is inseparable from those altars, if this is the case, Gombura Baron can be a clue here.

"Why that kind of monster wants to Control the Combra Baron? I think they need the help of a 'lord', maybe to cover up the trail of the altar, maybe to provide materials for the construction of the altar, in short, they need the identity of Gombra Baron to help them, so they will replace Gombra Baron.

"This also means that we may find the whereabouts of those monsters when we observe Baron Gombra!"

The more Lily spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and she gestured excitedly, using Body movements to help express what you want to say.

"It's really a good idea." Zhong Ye nodded, and then said, "Then I'll add something - I want to gather a group of merchants in your name to deal with Gombra Baron."

hearing this, Lily brows slightly wrinkle, "Why?"

She couldn't understand why Zhong Ye wanted to gather the merchants to deal with Gombra Baron, did he want to make Gombra Baron shows his feet faster?

"First of all, I want to force him by releasing the information that you want to deal with him. According to my speculation, if he does that, he will do two things. One is to swallow it. Bitter wine, eat a secret loss, and the second is to fight back secretly, not against you, but only against me and the merchants I gathered in your name."

Speaking, Zhong Ye extended a second A finger, "Secondly, I see that the Gombra family is unhappy and wants to bring down the Gombra family."

Zhong Ye's second answer left Lilian and the others for a while, and then they all stopped. Looking at Zhong Ye in disbelief - is he such an impulsive person?

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy, and I haven't been affected by Evil God. I'm calm now. I'm starting from my own heart and sincerely want to destroy the Gombra family."

Despite what Zhong Ye said, Lilian still felt something was wrong. She had known Zhong Ye for much longer than Lily Liebel—even if it was only a few months—but she I have never seen such an impulsive side of Zhong Ye.

It's really unbelievable...

Zhong Ye looked towards Lily and said seriously: "Can you help me with this?"

Looking at Zhong Ye, looking at his bright eyes, through his eyes, he seemed to be able to see a dazzling soul that was burning, radiating light and heat.

Lily Lieber took a light breath, lowered her eyes, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "...Seriously, I'm liking you more and more."

He closed his eyes because he didn't want the enthusiasm in his eyes to scare Zhong Ye.

After she calmed down, Lily opened her eyes, couldn't help it, looked at Zhong Ye with a smile, her pink lips parted lightly: "I allow you to gather businessmen in my name, but how are you going to destroy Gong? The Bra family?"

Zhong Ye sorted out his thoughts and said, "Acquisition of all the food in Chartres, including farmed animals and grain, all that can be purchased, and then unified pricing and set If the amount of a single purchase is below a certain amount, it will be sold at a fair price, and if the amount is above the amount, a premium will be charged for every 5% more."

"Will he be that stupid?" Lily asked her mind. doubt.

"I will release the news and say that you are trying to get revenge on him. As long as he knows the news, he will definitely 'play' this 'game' with you."

Lily suddenly remembered how flattery Baron had been when they had just met him.

He thought she was 'playing the adventurer's game' at the time, so why can't he be made to think that now he wants to 'play the merchant's game'?

Mao Sai suddenly opened, thought it was wonderful!

"Okay! That's it!" Lily patted her hand.

"However, this alone cannot destroy the Combra family. How much they lost, after we left, how much would be looted from the people of Chartres and the assembled merchants, and even more. It's too much, because they have a 'name'." Zhong Ye said solemnly, "At this time, we need the help of the Church of Art and Beauty - to attach that alliance to the church, and let the Church of Art and Beauty control the grain of Chartres. Pricing power, I don’t think they will refuse this deal.

“By this time, Baron Gombra will definitely not be able to sit still. It is okay to play games with you, Princess, but the pricing power of grain has already been affected. When it comes to his reign, reasonable in every circumstance, he has to tear his face, so before that, we need to talk to the monarch of the Combra family, no other reason is needed, just 'doubt the Combra family and the It's fine if the cultists have colluded, and they don't need to do anything, just send envoys from the monarch of the Gombra family to watch.

"When we uncover the identity of the Gombra Baron, that's when the Gombra family collapses."

However, there is a premise in all of this, and that is Gombra Baron was really replaced by 'painted skin'.

So, Lily Lieber, who had figured it all out, was a little worried, "Is this...will it be a little risky?"

Zhong Ye shook the head and said A shocking statement: "No, this is actually the safest thing to do."

Safest? As long as the preconditions don't hold, everything is for nothing - isn't that risky enough?

“As long as the Art and Beauty Church has the right to set food prices, do you think they will let go?” Zhong Ye asked rhetorically.

…so that's how it is!

Lily finally understands that the 'Third Step' is actually an insurance set up by Zhong Ye. As long as the pricing power of the grain is handed over to the Art and Beauty Church, the plan will be fulfilled...

Thinking of this, Lily couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and looked towards Zhong Ye with the eyes of monster.

Is this the Zhong Ye she knew?

"But isn't the church not capable of participating in politics?" Lilian asked in confusion, "Contact with politics can easily lead to corruption, leading to the corruption of the clergy, so the church banned the clergy from participating in politics a long time ago, If the pricing power of grain is handed over to the Art and Beauty Church, wouldn't they be involved in politics?"

Zhong Ye glanced at Lillian approvingly, "Then change it, pricing power. Still in the hands of that businessmen's union, the Art and Beauty Church serves only as an overseer, and as a deal, a portion of each year's profits will be used to support poor artists and those who want to study art."

Lily An excitedly clenched her fist under the table, listening to what Zhong Ye said, she seemed to be really helpful!

"If that's the case, only use my name to control that merchant alliance? Wouldn't it be too thin?" Lily asked worriedly.

Zhong Ye smiled slightly, "I will contact the Business Church through the Art and Beauty Church, and then ask the Business Church to vouch for me, take a loan from the Art and Beauty Church, and then make a deal with the Merchant Alliance. The capital injection, of course, this capital injection must be in my name, because this matter represents subverting the rule of a nobleman, and if the news gets back to Paris, it may be against you, so it can only be done by me.”

Zhong Ye is not the kind of person who dares to do, but not acknowledge. He takes advantage of the situation, and wants to take no responsibility at all. He shirks it all on others. That's a villain's behavior.

And this matter itself has nothing to do with Lily. He asked her for help. Wouldn't it be too despicable to shirk the responsibility and let her bear the responsibility that she should not bear? already?

"...That's it!"

Lily pursed her lips, looked at Zhong Ye obsessively, and suddenly said, "Zhong, I like you."

Zhong Ye hehe smiled and lowered his eyes, "Please allow me to refuse again."
