Chapter 847 Invitation (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

"Bishop, have you heard? The prime minister and the city administrator are all dead!"

Just after dawn, Goncharov was woken up by Ulmit. His dizzy head heard the news of the death of the important minister, and he was so excited that he suddenly woke up.

"died?"

"They're all dead!" Ulmit said, "Everyone had their scalps cut off overnight. I saw it when I went out for a stroll this morning, especially the prime minister, whose buttocks were stabbed!"

The act of scalping someone after killing someone was uncommon in the Romanov Kingdom. Goncharov had never seen a scalped corpse before, but in the Western Continent, this was a common custom.

What really worried Goncharov was that the dead ministers of the kingdom were the same senior officials who had previously protected the Pluto Chamber of Commerce. Without them, the Church of Truth would not be able to enter the city.

Could the cause of their deaths be related to the Church of Truth?

Get rid of the protective umbrella first, and then take action against the Church of Truth.

"Go and ask Mr. Aaron to come to the church immediately, quickly!"

"Yes!"

Ulmit rushed out of the house and went straight to the neighborhood where Aaron lived. They rented a shop as a temporary church. They would move in when the new church was built. Before that, they could only live elsewhere temporarily.

Not long after, Ulmit hurried back with Aaron. On the way, he explained the ins and outs. Aaron, who knew the seriousness of the problem, looked very ugly. His business philosophy was inherited from his uncle Dino, and when it comes to business issues, , Dino has two main purposes, one is to be honest, cultivate long-term customers and good reputation, and the other is to seize the opportunity to try boldly.

Whether they are the Imperial Chancellor or the City Administrator, they are all long-term partners of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce. The core essence of the first tenet is to establish a network of relationships. Aaron did this very well. After Dino went to the Church of Truth, he Leading the Pluto Chamber of Commerce to continuously expand outwards, even in the poor areas of the Southern Continent, there are still shadows of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce.

With its strong network of relationships, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce can succeed in both wind and rain, and there is almost no business that cannot be done. However, this time.

The situation seemed to be beyond his expectations.

It's not good news to have a major network of people ripped out of you, and it's happened once before.

More than ten years ago, Dino started from scratch, driving a horse-drawn carriage between villages, earning his first pot of gold by selling industrial products purchased at low prices from the city, and then opening shops, hiring workers, and connecting with local communities. Officials contacted to establish Pluto Chamber of Commerce

When Aaron was doing business with his uncle, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce was already well-known in the local area and had been stable for a period of time. When a famine broke out in the West Island of the Kingdom of Windsor, Dino sensed a business opportunity, collected all the funds, and purchased grain in batches. Stock, buy a batch of grain, and personally lead the team to the Kingdom of Windsor.

At that time, Dino naively believed that the Kingdom of Windsor would definitely purchase a large amount of grain to relieve the West Island. He could sell it to the Kingdom of Windsor at a price slightly higher than the market price and make a huge profit from it. However, what he did not expect was that the Kingdom of Windsor would Not only did they choose to ignore death, they also introduced the "Food Bill" to prohibit foreign wheat from entering the Kingdom of Windsor. This move caused a slight drop in international grain prices, and the chain reaction caused the grain stock price to collapse.

It was this crisis that caused Dino to suffer heavy losses, but it also made him more determined to develop in the Kingdom of Windsor.

The reason is simple. A country that doesn't even care about its citizens must be rotten and rotten at the top. This kind of environment may not be suitable for survival, but it is definitely suitable for making money.

Dino, who originally planned to go to the Kingdom of Windsor for development, took the opportunity to stay and started a grocer business with the few remaining funds. With the relationship network established in his early years, he specialized in smuggling certain unmarketable goods for high-ranking officials and nobles.

Aaron never thought that his uncle was a good person, but he would never take the initiative to harm others. He would not do anything about selling slaves. At most, he would go to plantations in the Southern Continent to smuggle extremely pure cocaine and sell it to nobles who like high concentrations.

At that time, the laws of the Kingdom of Windsor stipulated that injecting cocaine with a concentration of 3% was not illegal. If you like high concentrations, you can only adjust it yourself. Dino relied on these gray businesses to make a fortune quickly and make back his losses.

However, the grocery business eventually aroused dissatisfaction from other nobles. The high-end market was not large. The better the business of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce, the less money other nobles made. In the end, Dino was joined by these nobles. He was tricked and almost sent to the Kingdom of Queensland on charges of smuggling.

In order to save Dino, Aaron squandered his wealth and spit out all the money he had earned over the years, thus saving his uncle.

But Dino, who was released, was disheartened and no longer had the previous ambition. He left without saying goodbye and met Ma Wei when he wandered to New Ross City. I stayed at the newly established church for more than a month.

Aaron didn't know what happened during the period when his uncle disappeared. He only knew that Dino swept away his previous decadent mood, regained his energy, and got the three hundred gold pounds of start-up capital that Mawei 'lent' to him.

Ma Wei didn't expect him to pay back, but Dino insisted on paying the IOU.

Later, Dino rented a boat with a start-up capital of three hundred gold pounds, wrote a letter to call Aaron, restarted his business in New Ross City, and made a comeback.

Perhaps it was the setbacks of those years that made him see through people's hearts and value hard-won friendships more and more.

If it weren't for the betrayal of the network, Dino would never have gone bankrupt overnight. Aaron, who had experienced this incident, certainly knew the seriousness of the problem. After hearing the news of the death of the umbrella, he immediately ordered his employees to transfer assets and prepare to withdraw. Out of the Aztec Empire, the gold exchange business was suspended.

"Bishop, I suggest that you also evacuate temporarily." Aaron said in a solemn tone: "Without the prime minister and the others, I am like losing my eyes and ears. I cannot know the next move of the Doomsday Party and Montezuma III in time. It is better to evacuate temporarily. Sharp edge, wait until the Pluto Chamber of Commerce re-establishes its foundation and then fight back!"

Aaron is more conservative than Dino. When faced with a crisis, Dino's first thought is opportunity, while Aaron's first thought is how to preserve his strength.

"The mission given to me by the Pope is to preach and preach, and I cannot withdraw from it."

Goncharov shook his head: "The church is different from doing business. The Pluto Chamber of Commerce can suspend operations in a certain area, but the church cannot abandon its believers and leave."

"But you don't even have a single believer!" Aaron reminded: "The church has just been established!"

"Now that the war in the United States of America is coming to an end, if we don't seize the opportunity and instead choose to evacuate the Aztec Empire and wait for the Apocalypse God System to be free to infiltrate into the Aztec Empire, will we still have something to do?"

Goncharov said in a deep voice: "Mr. Aaron, I came to you to ask you to introduce me."

"Introduction? Who do you want to meet?"

Aaron originally thought that Goncharov wanted to meet Montezuma III, but he didn't expect him to say: "Anyone from the Doomsday Party can do it as long as he is a high-level person with the right to speak."

"."

Aaron is not a member of the Doomsday Party, and the Pluto Chamber of Commerce has no contact with the Doomsday Party. He does not know the members of the Doomsday Party at all, but since Goncharov has made a request, no matter who it is for, he has to try his best to satisfy it. .

Although the main network has been removed, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce still has many connections. The key is how to determine the identity of the Doomsday Party members. Regarding this point.

Goncharov gave guidance: "Urmit discovered that there are many buildings in the city that have been built for many years. Pope Marvel once said that the Doomsday Party will secretly excavate the ruins of the Golden Age, and there is an ancient city ruins under our feet. "

"Tenochtitlan?"

"If you go to a construction site, you're bound to find Doomsday members."

The reason why he did not go was because Goncharov judged that the Church of Truth was the root cause of this incident. If his guess was correct, then there must be informants around the church.

It's perfect to let Aaron do this. He has connections and can contact the doomsday party covertly.

As for Dorothy, it will take some time to open up the network of surrounding cats and cats, so it will not be useful for the time being.

Goncharov's judgment aroused Aaron's vigilance: "Do you suspect that the murderer who killed the prime minister, city administrator and other important officials of the empire was the king?"

"I can't find a reason for the Doomsday Party to kill them." Goncharov replied: "If the Doomsday Party wants to attack us, why bother to get rid of unimportant people like the prime minister and city administrators in a roundabout way? The Doomsday Party They are the ones who control the power behind the scenes! All they have to do is give orders! It is possible that Montezuma III was taking back his power as king by going to such great lengths to get rid of the prime minister and city administrators."

As a member of the church, Goncharov certainly understood how much power the church had in the theocratic era.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Church of Truth wants to kill a certain kingdom official, there is no need to carry out such small tricks as assassination, it can just drag him to the gallows!

Power comes from ability. Those who have power do not necessarily have ability, but those who have ability must have power. If there is no power, it must be that the ability is not strong enough.

If you have power without ability, you are usually pretending to be powerful. And many things do not require a reason to do them, they are done just because they can be done.

Many people who abuse power often have power despite having no ability.

They need to abuse their power to demonstrate their so-called ‘power’.

The prime minister, city administrators, and others may have some abilities, but their abilities definitely did not match the power they abused, so they died.

Killed by someone more powerful.

"If it was the king who killed the prime minister and the city administrator instead of the doomsday party, I understand."

Aaron stood up and nodded to Goncharov: "I'll make arrangements right away."

"The sooner the better."

"Ah."

After leaving the temporary church, Aaron said nothing. After returning to his residence, he found his secretary and asked him to contact Sheriff Derry, and asked him to use his patrol to secretly go to the construction site to convey Goncharov's request to meet. As long as the doomsday party receives According to the news, there is a high probability that I will keep the appointment.

Sure enough, late at night on the day when the news was sent, Goncharov, who was standing alone in front of the window and looking at the bright moon, suddenly heard a soft and sweet female voice behind him: "Are you used to the environment here, Your Excellency Bishop?"

Goncharov slowly turned around and saw a long-haired girl with an exquisite face, wearing a red dress, looking at him with a smile on her lips.

"I don't like spicy food very much. There are a lot of chili peppers in the food here." Goncharov said softly: "But the ingredients here are very rich, and overall it's pretty good."

The long-haired girl nodded: "I recommend you try the fried scorpion tail. Every time you eat it, you will feel warm all over. It is very suitable for winter."

"Isn't that thing poisonous?"

"It's no longer poisonous after it's been blown up."

"I will try." Goncharov sat at the table and looked into the girl's eyes: "I haven't asked for advice yet."

"Russell Lister, The Gospel."

The girl held up the hem of her skirt, nodded, tapped her right foot back, and said politely: "Your Excellency, Bishop, you can call me Russell, or Gospel, or Liszt. Of course, it would be better if you could call me Miss."

"Miss?"

Russell is a male name, so Goncharov looked at him with some confusion.

In this regard, Russell explained: "This is just an identity of mine, not myself."

"I see, your preferences are really unique."

"Who doesn't have some hobbies?"

Russell naturally sat across from Goncharov and said with a smile: "Just like Your Excellency, don't you also like to eat canned herring? There are also Inuit pickled puffins. You like to eat some pickled puffins?" Most people can’t stand fermented things.”

"It seems you investigated me."

"Everyone in your mission has information on the Doomsday Party." Russell asked: "I want to know, do you have the power to make the decision?"

The implication is that it represents the power of the Church of Truth.

For the Doomsday Party to send Gospel, who is second only to the party leader, to negotiate with the bishop, it is already a very high courtesy, and it is enough to show that the Doomsday Party attaches great importance to this negotiation. The key lies in whether Goncharov has received instructions from Ma Wei to represent the Church of Truth. Open new negotiations with the Doomsday Party.

If not, there is no need to waste time.

"Before I set out, Pope Mavi gave me the power to adapt to local conditions."

The smile on Russell's face became even brighter: "Very good, Pope Ma Wei is really a smart man. He gave the bishop the power in advance. In this way, even if the bishop violates the policy of the Holy See, it will only be your fault. The Pope has nothing to do with it."

"It seems that Miss Russell misunderstood something."

Goncharov said calmly: "I have no intention of violating the policies of the Holy See."

His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and Russell nodded gently: "I understand."

"It's true," Goncharov said, "I will not cooperate with the Doomsday Party."

"Then why did you ask me to come?"

Russell looked slightly stunned, a little angry, he felt like he was being fooled.

"I invite your Excellency to come here to talk about future plans."

Goncharov picked up the cold tea and took a sip: "Although we cannot cooperate, I think the Doomsday Party has reasons to support the Church of Truth on many issues."

"for example?"

"For example, the Doomsday Party should restrain the local wizards and priests and open the door for the Church of Truth before the arrival of the Apocalypse God System."

Russell narrowed his eyes: "What can the Church of Truth give me in return?"

"Nothing."

"Why should I agree to your request if there is no reward?"

"You don't have to agree, but when the Apocalypse God System arrives, will the Doomsday Party still have the right to choose?"
