Chapter 153 The First Mysterious Meeting in Life Part Two
Sidious returned to the meeting room, asked a few questions, and then left Griffith in the lounge to wait for a while. Ten minutes later, the door of the conference room opened again, and Earl Chalon poked his head out and waved to him.

Eleven dignitaries took turns speaking in the cloud-covered conference room, and the mist from cigars and pipes almost covered their faces, making the whole meeting look inscrutable.

There was another person lying on the ground.He twitched like a salted fish from time to time, his eyes rolled white, and the corners of his mouth drooled.It's like being raped by eleven big men in turn...

As soon as Griffith sat down, everyone began to vote.

"Start here." Earl Lamor told him.

The big shots reported the numbers one by one.

The Earls of Lamor and Chalon each have 200 million, Cardinal Corvallen 600 million, the Duke of Mirantis and Sidious 1000 million each.

what is this?What is the unit?can i ask a questionGriffith looked up in confusion, and saw His Excellency Salorian pointing to the man on the ground, saying that he offered 75.

"Okay, my lords, now vote on the second proposal." Earl Lamor continued, "This aid fund will be mainly divided into two purposes.

"50% of the aid fund is used to acquire manors, mines, and wasteland destroyed by floods and rebels, which will concatenate the control area near Old Town and wrap towns and villages still controlled by local nobles; contain and Relief refugees, build plantations, shops, post stations, expand the scale of mines and workshops to house them.

"The other half is used to issue five-year loans to the local nobles and the government, with an interest rate of 6% per annum, unsecured and unsecured. But the Tenth Legion will be permanently stationed in Old Town.

"The above are the main purposes of the first round of aid funds. The allocation and investment to local scholars, newspapers, schools and public welfare organizations is 3% of the total size of the aid fund, which will be donated separately by all contributors. Your Excellency Salorian is required to supervise and arrange properly .

"The principal, income and risks of the aid fund are shared by the investors in proportion to their contributions. We will discuss the second round of aid funds in the next stage."

The second motion was also unanimously agreed.

It turned out that they were discussing this, and what they just said was the silver man from everyone!Griffith quickly and accurately recorded the motion.

Earl Lamor's investment can allow him to get a fixed income of [-] silver lang per year, and then buy the Verona land that has been hit by wars and floods at a very low price, and set up shops and workshops. The return on investment may be as high as Above [-] silver lang per year.

This is only the first round of investment.

Such a large amount of money is almost risk-free.Although there is no guarantee, who dares to say no to the Tenth Legion?
This is a risk-free income of more than 12 silver lang per year!I was still wondering why Sonia and the others didn't send two superhumans to sneak in to rescue them during the siege. Did they plan to use them as bait to defeat the reputation of the rebels and the official Verona?

No, probably not, the Earl probably didn't think Sonia was less important than hundreds of thousands of silver Langs!Griffith felt the cold sweat rolling down his neck.

"Let me confirm, who will pay for the Tenth Legion?" Xia Long asked, "The local area must also provide an auxiliary legion, composed of those veterans who have no means of living but have not yet joined the rebellion. After this, they should know There's no point fighting us and it's impossible to win. Not even my daughter, hehe."

"Of course the wise Senate will pay the money, and Verona will also pay part of it, so it will be paid from the unsecured loan," said a big man with his legs crossed, "Xialong, the Senate has decided that you will be in charge." Is the Legion Commander?"

"Yes," Earl Chalon turned his head and said to Griffith, "delete the records about the expenses of the Tenth Legion."

Griffith immediately began to smear it.He began to doubt that in the eyes of the two earls, if the daughter was gone, they could still buy another one with the Silver Lang.

"You really have a good daughter!" Another big man said, "Can I propose marriage to Miss Fiona for the dog?"

"No," the count nodded to Larmor, "continue."

"Okay, let's continue," Earl Lamor said. "After talking about rights, let's talk about obligations, my lords."

……

The meeting lasted until late at night, and the third proposal still had no result.

The twelve big men were arguing mindlessly.

Griffith has never understood what everyone wants to do, but only vaguely knows that all the big shots here have to pay for something that has no return in the short term and may not return in the long run.

The result is that everyone is unhappy.

The well-mannered dignitaries began to abuse each other and interrupt each other's speeches.Griffith's record was written and erased.

Count de La Mole began to speak, pointing to a participant who was not a count but also a general and said:
"You swallowed the [-] silver langs included in the budget last month, and the [-] silver langs you received from the royal funds. How come there is no money?
"Well, sir, since you keep interrupting me, I will venture to use you as an example. Your noble ancestors followed Trajan's army, and with these 12 silver langs, you should at least form a large army? Forget it, a squadron! Half a squadron, even fifty men. As long as they are ready to fight, loyal to a noble cause, and put life and death at risk, then we don't have to discuss these things.

"But you have only a few guards, and a large number of servants, and they will scare you in case of the riot of January 1nd.

"The throne, the senate, the altar and the nobility are under threat, as recent examples have made it clear to us. If we do not have a loyal quick-response force, the The shadow will come again, and the legion will not be able to deal with it in time! There are some dangers that the legion can't deal with. When I say loyalty, I don't just mean bravery, but also firm will and belief, which are used to resist the corruption of shadow and chaos.

"The leader of this team must be our children, our nephews, in short, real noble sons. Behind each of them there must be a group of people, not the rhetoric, which appeared in [-] Small and young, but simple and frank good soldiers; our children are to educate them and make them faithful companions.

"Let's each sacrifice some income to build teams like this.

"It's hard, you say, and you've been talking all night; yet, gentlemen, our brains are worth the price. Between the Lord of Mystery and Shadow, Chaos and our very existence, it's a war to the death .

"If you want, you can be timid and welcome the destruction, but don't be stupid. Please open your eyes!"

Well said the Earl!Although there is a lot of information that I don't understand, Griffith can't help but want to learn from the earl's speech.He felt that he would need it one day.

His Excellency Salorian spoke immediately, and he was completely on the side of Earl Lamor, and his eloquence was gentle and restrained.Although Griffith suspects that he is also plotting, he likes his remarks very much.His Excellency Salorian stated the following major facts:

"One, the three grand dukes of Verona, Odessa, and Sebasto and their nobles have no money. They will not give money, and even want to stab Bayeran.

"Second, if there are no local nobles to pay, then the wise Senate must pay, and all the adults here must pay, otherwise, no one can resist the conspiracy of the mysterious enemy;
"Third, it is necessary to establish a fast-response and capable armed force, otherwise all localities will not be able to organize even the most basic battle in the face of a thunderous crisis.

"Four,……"

With the firm support and instigation of Sidious, Headmaster Tyberion, and Earl Sharon, the bill was barely passed.Until the final vote, the Duke of Mirantis was still muttering that his daughter and the prince would be able to solve all these little disturbances with a team of sutorrals.Cardinal Corvallen also repeatedly said that the Punisher conquers everything, as long as he pays the Punisher.

After finishing these programmatic discussions, everyone began to discuss the fourth proposal, talking about mysteries, shadows, the conspiracy of chaos and an upcoming event.

By the end, Griffith found that the bigwigs present couldn't even tell what they were dealing with.Those dangerous existences hidden in the darkness seem to have no fixed shape, no definite name.He seems to be everywhere, but no language can accurately describe him.

The attendees didn't even know what was the best way to combat this horror.

The discussion became more and more intense. This group of big shots was like boys in the dormitory telling ghost stories. The innocence was unbelievable, but the information they possessed was horrifying.

Griffith heard a lot of confusing horror.

"These people will poison me to death, or they are all planning to marry their daughter and sister to me," Griffith broke out in a cold sweat, "How can you say these things in front of a quasi-knight?"

He has already realized what task he is going to perform.

The relatively certain information is that a certain terrifying existence that dominates the Deathrattle Order is conducting a conspiracy that even these big men can only speculate and fear.As a soldier on the front line, he had never had so much mission information, nor was he so well aware of the upcoming danger.

Count Lamour kicked him out again, and Sidious cast him a real Oblivion Charm.

When Griffith was summoned again.Earl Chalon smiled and said to him that the fourth bill was passed, as long as it was written on the record that it was passed. Then he started talking, drawing everyone's attention away who were still arguing.

The four extraordinary people will come to the front line to encircle and suppress the members of the Death Whisper Order, and smash whatever they are planning. Griffith, the clerk of this meeting, will go to the local area as an agent of the meeting, supervise these extraordinary people and local extraordinary people and officials, and then investigate the real purpose of the Deathrattle Order.

Griffith memorized it seriously, commenting in his heart while listening.

Earl Chalon said:

"My lords, let's implement the fourth proposal. The organization of the extraordinary commando team sent to Raven is as follows:

"Lordus Basiliko Listener, the caster path sequence 6 'Secret Sneaker', is currently Professor of Holmonworth, and he serves as the commander of the commando and the chairman of the former enemy committee."

Whoops, Professor Dry Ice!Griffith feels uncomfortable when he thinks about seeing this person often in the next mission.If you don't give the professor face, what if he finds an opportunity to find fault in the final exam later?
"Eluza Valkyrie, Demon Hunter Pathway Sequence 6 'Front of Light and Shadow', currently the tactical instructor of Beacon Academy."

Ah, squadron leader!Griffith was about to cry out happily.With the squadron leader around, I am not afraid of dry ice anymore.

"Moreau Bacchus, Assassin Pathway Sequence 6 'Stalker', Senior Investigator of the Central Bureau of Investigation."

Assassin, I don’t know much about it. I’ve killed a few Extraordinary people from the Assassin path, and they’re all rookies.

"Horus Osiris, Priest Path Sequence 6 'Word Bearers', Bishop of the Church of the Holy Light, Bayeran."

What is this, I have never heard of it, but it feels very powerful.I'm really still too shallow.

There is no more, the commando has a total of four people.Griffith looked at it and felt that the configuration looked okay, but there was no Pioneer.Erza will never be the vanguard.
