Oracle of Terra

"Yoxi, then let's go and rob."

Telles, who said he was leaving, stood up and called Skadi, who should be inseparable from him. After all, her situation needs to be monitored by her. This will not change, although she is still very stable when she is awake. That's it.

The target is naturally the office building of the Chamber of Commerce, which has now become the stronghold of the Brotherhood, but even so, Tolan Cash didn't get all his people into the Grand Knight's collar so quickly.

At present, there are still only him and the two green gold dignitaries, as well as Charney and his assistant in the office.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Hardly bothering to report, Telles swaggered into the office by using his cognitive invisibility, while several people present looked at each other in blank dismay as the 'boss', who basically didn't care about anything, appeared.

"Good afternoon, respected Mr. Telles, do you have any advice for coming here today?"

"Um....."

Although Telles wanted to say shameless words like 'I'm getting poor, please give me money', but as the boss, he felt that he had to be more tactful. After all, he couldn't lose his majesty as a BOSS. In some respects it has been lost and there is little left.

"Come and inspect, for example, some aspects of the Brotherhood's policy, I want to confirm a little bit."

"Then you came at the right time. I just want to inform you that we have recently negotiated with the Supervisory Committee and the National Council. Regarding the construction of the new community for the infected, the scale is based on the general residential area, but Due to the need for funds, I have used the private property of those directors a little bit, but it is within the allowed range, and because it is private property, it will not cause problems for the operation of the Chamber of Commerce itself. Of course, it does not mean that There is no problem at all, Monique-dono."

Charney still maintains a sense of awe for the two green gold dignitaries who assist in the work. After all, they are partners, not subordinates and superiors like before, and they stay on the front line. This is still Charney's principle of doing things .

"This is about the financial expenditure statistics of the previous community construction and regional restoration work, as well as the consumption of unblocking the problems of all parties. Considering that it will not affect the operation of the various enterprises of the Chamber of Commerce itself, we have also slightly improved the employee system. Erne has always wanted to improve the treatment of some low-level employees, so there are still quite a lot of expenses, but the private treasuries of those directors are a bit eye-popping."

"It's the first time I've seen so much money, really."

Roy on the side also shook his head. Although he also manages money in the Wuzhou League, the funds of the Wuzhou League are far from as rich as the Chamber of Commerce. After taking over the work in this area, he discovered that the money he earned before That is not called money.

"................................"

Telles rubbed his eyes.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Charney looked at Telles with a sad expression, looking a little puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the poverty of the people at the bottom makes me feel the same, but the treatment improvement system itself is not a problem, but is it really necessary to use so much?"

"Naturally, we need so much. You have to know that most of the large and small companies in the Great Knights are affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, but most of them are stars. At the same time, if infected people need to be arranged to enter factories and some offices, they also need to use funds to expand their business. Although the labor force itself is rare and valuable, it also needs to provide enough jobs.”

"Oh...I understand, but do the National Council and the Supervisory Committee have any objections?"

"Regarding this order, the Supervisory Committee and the National Council have given affirmative results. After all, increasing Casimir's own productivity and the scale of industrial output is exactly what they dreamed of. Previously, the Chamber of Commerce deliberately controlled this growth. It is because they not only plan to keep the industry in Casimir, but also plan to enter the market of other countries, but for the sake of the infected, they still have to put aside some business development for the time being. After all, the increase in local productivity is also helpful for export products .”

"Okay, then you continue to work hard, but don't let go of the Brotherhood's own armed forces, but I believe in the abilities of the two of you as Qingjin, as well as Tolan Cash."

"Ok?"

Tolan, who was almost a jerk in the office, also looked over when he heard his name being called.

"In addition to expanding the scale, the Brotherhood also needs to develop enough manpower among the people, just like you have been doing before, the main role of the Brotherhood is still for more people, don't forget this, and for To achieve this goal, it is your job to penetrate the masses and understand the needs of the masses, and to find a balance between commercial trade and needs."

"Uh... I actually don't know much about business and things like that. If it's manpower development, I'm quite good at it."

"Just do as you have always done. As for the conflict between the two, you can negotiate with Charney. Roy and Monique will choose the most suitable degree for you from the perspective of a bystander."

After speaking, Telles got up, he felt that he could no longer read the financial report.

Considering that there will be more and more places where money will be used in the future, he thinks... it's better not to waste any money, in case something happens to happen, it will be bad.

"Then I will entrust Casimir's affairs with carte blanche in the future, but don't forget, I will always watch you and pass it."

A group of black shadows turned into a red-eyed black crow and stayed on the desk in the office. The red eyes made people palpitate.

548. Tournament (two chapters in one)

"It's numb."

"What happened to you?"

During the beginning of Casimir's secret meeting, and the follow-up negotiations on the cooperative relationship between Rhodes Island and Casimir himself were handed over to Kelsey himself, task force commander Lucifer who was 'loaned' to Rhodes Island recently It was much more leisurely, but the two assistant ladies sent by Kasimir didn't seem to intend to leave his side. Although Lucifer said that the future handover task had been completed, the two did not need to continue to protect him, but in the end He was still rejected by the two ladies with reasons such as 'You are an important person in Rhodes Island' and 'Mr. Doctor is so weak, it is better for us to watch'.

But what's still there is that when someone from Te came to look for him, those two ladies would not hang around by his side.

"I'm out of money, dear friend, give me some."

"Do you think I look rich?"

Lucifer's salary as a task force officer is actually not high, but he himself doesn't care much about it. His daily life is simple, and his food intake is compared to most Terran people. They are all very small, and the daily expenses are probably to buy some weird snacks that others think.

"Hey, women are really troublesome. Why can't you withdraw the money from Ursas Bank in Kazimir?"

"Your question seems as stupid as asking why Gaul perished."

Although this person is often looking for trouble, Lucifer is quite relaxed when he is with Telles, although sometimes his blood pressure does rise slowly.

"So how did Gaul perish?"

"If you are interested in history lessons, I suggest you go to Rhodes Island main ship to find Miss Hypatia, an accompanying part-time history teacher operator, and I think he will give you an accurate answer."

"Well, I'm actually not interested in history. After all, the matter of demise touches my delicate nerves, so can you give me some?"

"I think lending you money would be like throwing a pebble into the ocean."

While speaking, Lucifer took out a stack of banknotes, because he knew that this guy would definitely stalk him if he didn't borrow it.

"Oh, thank you for your generosity, my friend, so I've decided to treat you to something."

"........................."

Lucifer's blood pressure went up, why is this man so brazen enough to borrow money and then use the borrowed money to treat the person who borrowed him to eat.

"The premise is that you can handle those two ladies. To be honest, they are very strict."

"It's hard work being a popular man, but it doesn't matter, let me use some more advanced Originium skills to help you escape from death."

As he said that, the brilliance in Telles' eyes dissipated, and then Lucifer felt a power package, and he saw that he seemed to have become transparent.

"Actually, sometimes I feel like you can do everything."

"Everything is a little bit, let's go, let's go, the breath and existence are also eliminated, just follow me."

Telles opened the door with a smile, pushed his small round sunglasses without saying hello, and then left the door straight away, staring at the two ladies sitting on the sofa outside the living room in a daze.

But when they found out that the doctor had disappeared, Telles had already escaped with Lucifer and walked on the streets of Kavaleriaki, which had been revived in sevens and eighties.

"What happened to those monsters?"

Lucifer still remembered the scene when Amiya and the two young ladies were resisting the monsters that invaded the restaurant. How useful it is.

"Centralized processing, although the predecessor is still human, but the final test result found that the mutated components, you know, almost lost the original biological structure, became a new species, and the pollution is extremely strong, but After losing its activity, there is no response, and the cells are of high value and can be used for replacement in regenerative therapy."

"Is that so..."

Although Telles's answer was no different from what he had imagined, Lucifer was still a little bit emotional when he saw that there were almost no major power outages in the streets and alleys nowadays.

"Maybe a blackout is like a nightmare?"

"Then maybe there are still some people who can't wake up from the nightmare."

Telles glanced at the frustrated people who were sitting in some dark corners and looked sloppy. Although the Chamber of Commerce has improved the treatment of infected people and grassroots workers, there are some lost things that will destroy a person himself. No amount of money can be exchanged for things, there are relatives, friends, and my true love.

On this level, the blackout also took away quite a few things.

But all Telles can do is sigh, and then try to do some good things for those who stay.

"That's it?"

"Are you sure we're here to eat?"

Raising his eyebrows, looking at the bar signboard with the words 'Crazy Martin' written in front of him, Lucifer doubted whether he could go back standing up.

"You just watch me drink it."

Telles pushed open the door boldly.

"Boss, here are two bottles of Ursus vodka!"

"I think it's a bit of a stretch for you to buy Ursus drinks at Casimir's bar..."

"No problem, please wait a moment."

"Really?"

"After all, in terms of business, hatred can never compare to that money, not to mention that wine is indeed good wine."

With that said, Telles and Lucifer sat in the corner, and after a while, the boss with the prosthetic hand brought two bottles of vodka to the two of them with a dinner plate.

"Boss, do you still have steak?"

"You don't have to worry about the lack of stock. Although I sent some aid to the relief station not long ago, as you two have seen, this is a deserted small shop, so there are still plenty of ingredients."

"That's good."

Opening the bottle cap, Telles smelled the pungent smell with an expression of enjoyment.

"So what's going on with Rhodes Island, my double agent captain?"

"Don't make it sound like you have ulterior motives. I was loaned to Rhodes Island by Miss Tallulah, not an undercover agent in Rhodes Island."

"Why don't you just become a full-time member like this? I think you're doing quite well in Rhodes Island."

"Are you really planning to let me be that double senior agent?"

"No, no, it's just a joke, but to be honest, how does it feel?"

"It's strange."

After pouring a glass of water, Lucifer's expression was subtle. He recalled his life in Rhodes Island. There were many people who knew him like W, but he couldn't give their names at all. There were many people who were wary of him. , there are many people who admire him, and there are many people who get along very happily with him. In a word, Rhodes Island is like a microcosm of a country, there are all kinds of people there, but even so, Lu Xifa still has a wonderful sense of loneliness. In their eyes, he is still not the current self, and he is always a different person.

"Do you wish to restore your memory?"

"I don't know, life in Sochi is very good, with a daily life that satisfies interests, and subordinates who need to worry about, but Rhodes Island makes me feel a little strange, I am like someone who only exists in the eyes of others, but that It is indeed me, but I can’t remember what it was like. In everything, I should have the necessary curiosity about the lost past, but I always feel that when I recall my past, it doesn’t seem like it will What a good thing."

"So you don't know if you want to change your memory?"

"Well, human existence itself needs to have a meaning, maybe for life, maybe for self-satisfaction, maybe for some unbearable desire, but I don't want to pursue it for the so-called sense of loss, I think it's time to , maybe I will remember, but it is incredible, Telles, you always give me a sense of familiarity."

"As I said, we have been best friends since a long time ago. We are also people who live in a strange loneliness and share a common language, but the mode is a little different."

"Maybe, but Doctor Kyle's attitude and Amiya's expectations of me, I think it's a good thing to recall."

"Even if it's painful for you?"

"Maybe, maybe it's better to forget some things, but there are some things that shouldn't be forgotten. Sometimes I always feel empty in my heart."

"At this time, what you need is a woman..."

"Stop it, I'm too lazy to listen to you changing the subject, eat yours."

Lucifer continued to drink the water, looked at the steaks delivered, and began to chew and eat the food from the small local bar. It tasted good, and it was different from the canteen in Rhode Island.

"Then let's talk about something more realistic. What do you think of the situation of the Ms. Victoria?"

Telles remembered that Lucifer was called to the interview site.

"That's enough. Although Miss Wei Na and that Miss Raphshine are powerful orthodox heirs, Victoria's situation is really not a situation where you can pull the big nobles together to regain the power of Londinium with a single call. Have you read the report from Xiaoqiu County?"

"almost."

Telles watched Raven's live replay, which was very clear.

"Victoria's domestic situation is divided into three aspects. One is occupying Londinium, the regent power from Tracys of Kazdale. The second is supporting him in order to better divide Victoria's nobles. The third is The third is the Restorationists like Ms. Ewendelin who hope to return to the royal power, and the fourth is the deep pool of the terrorist organization that spreads the flames of internal opposition in Victoria."

"It's such a big Victoria, it turns out to be full of power."

"It's not evenly matched. Among them, the interests of the great nobles are the most powerful, but because of the interests, it is just like Casimir's Chamber of Commerce. As long as you leverage the ideas of some of them, you can make them temporarily If they fall apart and lose their common interests, the situation will become a lot easier, but the problem lies here. The scale of influence of Regent Teresis is not clear at present, but one thing that is known is that the influence of them and the great nobles It is a joint, although it is unknown how close the joint is, but in comparison, the restoration faction from Ms. Ewen Delin, and the existence of spreading malicious fire like Shen Chi, are the most worrying, the scope of influence It’s not big, but there are enough disgusting people.”

"Commonly known as a shit-stirring stick."

"I don't want to comment on your words, but they are indeed very appropriate. Our most powerful method is to use Ms. Raphshine and Ms. Ewen Delin to win over Shenchi and form a joint show. If we want to form the dual kings you mentioned However, if people who can do such things want to work together, I am afraid that they need to be vigilant in order to survive safely, because Shenchi is very likely to be a threat to both parties. Wang Gongzhi is not interested, he just pretended to connect."

The many possibilities simulated in his mind can only make Lucifer lament, and the chaotic situation in Victoria is a headache.

"On the plus side, there's Nova Bolivar, Rutland, and a little help from Sochi."

"There is also Casimir's native land, but considering the situation after the uprising, the help that Casimir can provide may be limited. It is impossible for them to really confront Victoria. Even if it is chaotic and full of disadvantages, Victoria is still At present, the country with the strongest military strength in Terra."

"But don't forget about Colombia's successful independence from Victoria. Everything is possible, but it's really hard to find a second one in a situation like Gaul."

"Gaul..."

When it comes to this, Lucifer also has a subtle expression on his face. After all, he is as powerful as Gaul, and he can kill himself, which really makes him a little nervous.
