Chapter 2460 The storm is coming

three days later

Game time, Holy Calendar Year 9571, Void Moon, Melody Seventh Day, AM 08:15

Sanctuary, Outer City of Light, [Cup of Joy] Water Bar

"welcome."

The dwarf old lady behind the bar slowly wiped the cups and said without looking up, "The first private room on the left on the second floor."

"Uh...ok."

The tall elf woman in a bright red wizard robe was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party's opening remarks to be so simple and direct. However, she quickly came to her senses, nodded slightly to the other party, and then walked towards the very stylish spiral staircase made entirely of opaque blue stone.

Behind her, there was a girl wearing a gray cloak. Her pretty face under the hood looked a little nervous. She looked like a thief. Although she didn't say anything, she gave a sincere and kind smile to the old man sitting cross-legged on a high chair when she passed by the bar.

Just like that, it only took about a minute for the two of them to walk into the private room on the far left of the second floor with the door half-closed.

"welcome."

Sitting in the middle of the large velvet sofa, Her Highness Fialy Graham, the Saint of the Fortune Sect, smiled at the two of them. After saying the same words as the old man downstairs, she raised the bottle of soda in her hand and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone: "Thank you for your hard work along the way, Your Highness Xia Lian, and Wang Yu."

"Who says it isn't?"

The Dawn Saint who had just disguised herself as Shamar Platt rolled her eyes. After changing back to her original appearance, she casually pulled off the hood of another Dawn Saint, and then led the latter to the sofa opposite Fialli and sat down carelessly. She said unhappily, "In order to ensure that no one would notice us, the two of us first stayed in the chapel for half an hour, then pretended to run to the convent, and then teleported to the chapel in the outer city through the underground divine magic formation. We had to wait for the two fake adventurers you arranged to go in and pray, and then disguised ourselves as them... Phew, I was almost exhausted to death."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Xia Lian, but you also know how sensitive the matter we are going to discuss is. It's better to be safe than sorry. At this stage, we can't be too cautious."

The Saint of Fortune smiled apologetically and said helplessly: "After all, our identities are too sensitive. If someone with ulterior motives noticed that three saints were secretly meeting in a corner, to be honest, no matter how the situation develops, it will definitely not be a good thing."

Xia Lian smiled and said happily, "You almost mentioned the name of the 'minority' of the Sun Cult."

"I have no hostility towards those minorities. I even conducted some small business with their agents before. But considering that my most important investment was almost killed by those guys, I had already drawn a clear line with them long before I joined the Northern Expedition to support Sumir."

Fei Yali looked at Xia Lian and Yu Chen sincerely, and said seriously: "Now that I have decided to put all my chips on Ha Fan, it is basically equivalent to declaring war on the 'minority' on the Sun's side."

Xia Lian raised her eyebrows in surprise and said leisurely, "They say that harmony brings wealth. Your Highness Fei Yali, aren't you worried that your financial path will be blocked after you refuse to trade with those bastards?"

"Of course I'm not worried. It's one thing for businessmen to pursue profits, but if we consider long-term investment, the minority in this session are not good partners."

Fei Yali smacked her lips, took a sip of soda, and hummed, "At least based on my superficial understanding of those people, even if everyone is brothers and sisters under the banner of the Holy Church, the value of this 'friendship' has no restraining effect on the minority. Otherwise, Ha Fan would not have been nearly killed before."

"Thank you, Fialli."

Yu Chen, dressed as a thief, sat beside Xia Lian somewhat awkwardly and thanked the Saint of Wealth who had always supported Hei Fan since the battle of Holy Mountain Sumir. After all, not only had she made additional investments one after another, provided money and food, she had even managed to make the Saint of Justice and the Saint of Plenty, who had a good personal relationship with her, think about "going to Dunbuya City" and becoming someone's right-hand man.

Even though he felt a little uncomfortable at first, after attending the Academy City Exchange Meeting together, Yu Chen had completely confirmed that although Feiyali paid special attention to Mo Tan, this attention was really from the perspective of a pure investor and friend, and there was no miscellaneous content that could make His Highness Wang Yu angry.

Of course, if we change it to another angle, it seems that Mo Tan, who has been identified by Fiyali as her "business", is probably more attractive to the Saint of Wealth than the so-called "love"!

Because he became friends with Fiyali naturally during the exchange meeting, Yu Chen knew very well that for the former, the importance of business was far more important than the love affairs between men and women that supported 99% of the bards. Or, in other words, in the eyes of this saint of wealth, the importance of "love" was not as important as "making money".

"Don't talk about your own people."

Fei Yali blinked at Yu Chen, and then said in a brisk tone: "Well, since we have successfully reunited under the highest level of confidentiality, let's not waste time and get started directly--"

Xia Lian and Yu Chen both nodded, but they did not speak. Instead, they sat upright and looked seriously at Fei Yali, the initiator of this "small gathering", waiting for the opinions of the most outstanding young generation of the Holy Church Union.

"First the bad news."

Feiyali didn't hesitate and said directly: "I told His Majesty Rivegaz about Hafan's crazy plan, and he didn't intend to cooperate at this time as expected. Of course, he also promised to keep it secret and not disrupt the rhythm of Heifan and your Dawn Sect. So even though the additional sponsorship from the Fortune Sect is gone, the plan itself is not affected."

Xia Lian snorted and cursed angrily, "That stingy green-skinned bastard, I will definitely teach him a lesson someday!"

It was obvious that Xia Lian was very dissatisfied with the decision of His Majesty Saint Rivergaz Goldmine, but even though she was determined to settle the score later, she had no intention of using violence, seniority and other factors to force the Pope of Wealth to change his mind. The reason was that even though Xia Lian could order Rivergaz around in private and let the "stingy green bastard" in her words treat her to a meal, in formal occasions, as the Pope of the Wealth Sect, the goblin with an excessively good business sense did not need to compromise with anyone.

The key reason why Xia Lian Zhuye has very good relationships with many people is that although she has a slightly bad personality and a very serious tendency to violence, she is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private. In other words, although she may blackmail that stingy goblin into treating herself to a meal, she would never try to influence the decision of the Pope of Wealth Saint Rivergaz Gold Mine in the identity of the Dawn Saint Xia Lian Zhuye.

Therefore, no matter how depressed she was, Xia Lian could only sigh, say something harsh, and simply say "this matter is not over yet", then keep a sour face and remain silent.

"Wait a minute, since you told me the bad news first..." But Yu Chen keenly noticed an important detail and asked hurriedly, "What's the good news?"

Fei Yali showed a sly smile and raised her eyebrows and said, "The good news is that although I failed to convince him to make a risky investment in this big project, I convinced him to make a risky investment in this big project in the name of my sect."

"what?"

Xia Lian blinked and asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that although the Wealth Sect will not expose your plan, nor will it sponsor you even a single gold coin in the process, His Holiness the Pope has allowed me to use my personal property to support Hafan and his baby Skork."

Fei Yali stroked a very smooth gold coin and said lazily, "The condition is that I sign a bet agreement with him. If Ha Fan's plan can achieve more than 85% of the expected results, then neither of us will have to pay anything extra. If Ha Fan's plan achieves 100% of the expected results, then His Holiness the Pope will reimburse me for half of the total amount of support this time. If the final results far exceed expectations, then His Holiness the Pope will reimburse me in full for the amount I used to support Ha Fan. At the same time, the church will also give me a considerable amount of subsidies."

"Fuck!"

Although she didn't hear it clearly, Xia Lian still sighed intuitively: "It seems very powerful!"

"I haven't finished yet. Don't forget that this is a bet agreement. It's not right for me to be the only one to make money."

Fei Yali shook her finger and gently flipped the gold coin in her hand. She held it steadily with her index finger and said leisurely, "If the results are between 60% and 85% of the expected value, then I will donate the same amount of money to the sect as I supported Ha Fan in the name of the sect. If it is below 60%, I will triple the amount, plus 70% of my total personal assets."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen and Xia Lian were both stunned and said in unison: "Seventy percent!?"

Fei Yali nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, 70%. This is not surprising at all. After all, His Majesty has been planning to take my treasury for more than a year or two. This time he finally found the opportunity."

“This is too much…”

Although she didn't know how much money Fialli had, Xia Lian immediately complained from the former's perspective: "That kid Rivegaz is too cruel!"

"Your Majesty's words may be even more cruel than you imagine, Your Highness Xia Lian."

Fei Yali covered her mouth and chuckled, reminding him, "Don't forget, if we follow Ha Fan's plan, let's put aside the other families, at least Dawn, Justice, Abundance and Wealth must express their opinions. After all, when he brought Philip and Avery to take over Dunbuya, our Wealth Sect gave a considerable degree of support. In other words, if I didn't mention this to His Holiness the Pope, he would have to find a way to support me."

Xia Lian: "Yes... yes?"

"As a result, after I revealed Ha Fan's plan to him, His Majesty immediately expressed his intention not to interfere, and after I claimed that I could support him with my own property, he proposed a gambling agreement."

Fei Yali smacked her lips and said with a smile: "How smart."

Yu Chen, who was a little nervous at first, couldn't help but relax when he saw Fei Yali's relaxed and carefree look. He smiled and said, "So why don't you look nervous at all?"

"Because I have confidence in Harfan, and I also have confidence in those two guys, Philip and Avery. More importantly, since His Majesty has asked me to put my own 'small treasury' on the line, it means that as long as I can survive this time, they will no longer try to find out my bottom line in the future."

Fei Yali made the gold coin in her right hand appear in her left hand like a magic trick, and then she leaned forward slightly to take back the gold coin that disappeared between Yu Chen's left fingers from his ear, and smiled slyly: "Just based on this point, don't say that I trust Ha Fan very much. Even if the theoretical success rate of this plan is cut in half, I will accept this bet."

Xia Lian poked the Saint of Fortune on the forehead and asked in confusion, "So how do you calculate the 'how much of the expected results are achieved' that you just mentioned? Do you do the calculation or does Rivegaz do it?"

"All businessmen are dishonest, Your Highness Xia Lian. No matter who is going to do the math between me and Your Majesty, the other person will definitely not agree."

Fialli whistled, then clasped her hands together and said devoutly, "So of course it's the noble goddess who will do the math. I am a person favored by God, and I can directly establish contact with the goddess as long as I pray devoutly. And His Majesty, as the Pope, Rivegaz will naturally ask the goddess to help verify the authenticity when everything is settled. Under the witness of our Lord, the possibility of cheating on both sides is zero, so fairness can be absolutely guaranteed. In fact, because we are all senior clergy of the Fortune Sect, even the step of signing the contract can be omitted, which is very convenient."

"wait."

Xia Lian stretched lazily, crossed her legs and said, "According to the news Wang Yu just received, Hei Fan has already joined up with the people from Broken Head Cliff. Next...it depends on when he can complete the first step."

"It's really exciting, Ha Fan."

"Who says it isn't? If things continue like this, it may not be long before countless eyes across the entire Holy Land, the entire Northeast, and even the entire continent will focus their gazes to the north to witness an unprecedented storm."

"That's right, but before that, we'd better complete our preparations as soon as possible. After all, when the plan is launched, Ha Fan will soon face a brutal hunt. If we act too slowly and something happens to them..."

"Those blood barbarians will only die more miserably."
