Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1182 Grandet: Dead Eyes

"I am touched by our long-awaited reunion, your Excellency Moriarty."

A deep and magnetic voice rang out from the depths of the Dawn City Palace: "May all the gods bless you for your mercy, splendor, holiness, and all the rites and good deeds you have done."

If you only listen to this voice, you will only construct an image of a mature, elegant and steady uncle in your mind.

He might be wearing a suit, a clergyman's robe, or a classical aristocratic robe. He should have neatly groomed hair and beard, and a gentle and calm look in his eyes. The words that flowed slowly from his throat were like the low ringing of a bell deep in a temple, making people feel peaceful and happy.

However, it is not.

The one who bowed before Aiwass was an extremely ugly goblin.

His face was deformed and distorted, with one eye larger than the other, even uglier than the average goblin. He was slightly taller than the average goblin, and his skin was a rare and dirty mixed green - it was like light green, grass green, dark green, etc. were roughly mixed on a palette, just like a human with vitiligo.

One side of his jade-white fangs was exposed, along with his scarlet gums, and the muscles on his face were tangled together in a special way. His eyes and mouth looked crooked, but he had an inexplicable sense of vigor and vitality that attracted people's attention.

Unlike his ugly face, his body was well-groomed - he was wearing a black suit made of soft and high-quality material, which was not stained with dust even in the desert.

——This is the “one who trades with the dragon”, the “one who hides in the horse’s belly”, Grandet Dead Eyes.

He is also an old friend of Aiwass.

He was responsible for repairing the railway and western port of Avalon. He even loaned Avalon a large sum of money to support its construction.

The Goblin Chamber of Commerce that Aiwas found this time was the same one where Grandet originally worked.

At the beginning, Grandet called Aiwass "Minister Moriarty", and Aiwass still needed the support of the little crow to suppress this powerful man of two paths.

After the next round of the Tail Ring Ceremony, Grandet will be at the fifth level of the Path of Wisdom and the sixth level of the Path of Balance. In other words, he should at least have the fourth level of wisdom and the fifth level of balance, and it is even possible that he is at the fifth level of both paths.

From any perspective, this is also a top-level strongman.

The fact that a strong man of this level could come in person to discuss the construction of this short section of sewer was enough to prove how much he valued and respected Aiwass - you know, when Aiwass was doing business with him in Avalon, he was still the "Queen's spokesperson".

In other words, Aiwass represented the entire Avalon at that time, and even represented the Theocracy behind Avalon. Only in this way could he be qualified to discuss business with Grandet in person.

At this moment, Grandet looked at Edwards with mixed feelings.

At the time, Aiwass was only at the third energy level. He even needed to wear a pocket watch that could conceal his extraordinary power to prevent his excessive extraordinary power from appearing unfriendly.

Although strictly speaking, only superiors on the same path can clearly identify the energy level of inferiors, when inferiors come into close contact with superiors, they can easily feel the sense of oppression and abnormality, just like when he realized that the crow next to Aiwass was not right.

Grandet needs to try his best to eliminate even the slightest possibility that others may feel pressured, thereby increasing their vigilance and reducing their friendliness.

And now...

At some point, Aiwass just sat there, and he felt a hint of pressure. ...This was too outrageous.

It has only been a few months, and this child has already reached the fifth or even sixth energy level from the third energy level?

Precisely because he himself is a person of this level, Grandet can clearly understand how difficult this is.

That feeling is like a scientific researcher in his 50s or 60s who has just figured out a research project after spending nearly half his life on it, but is easily surpassed and completed by a teenage genius. Even if you already know in your heart that geniuses do exist in this world, this feeling will make you unbalanced and drive you crazy.

Now Aiwass has even become the former pope... The Church recently released news that Aiwass had retired normally and enjoyed the treatment of a saint. His underage sister became the great unified monarch of the Herasl countries, and he himself came to the ancient country of Parthia and became a benevolent ruler who could dominate the life and death of mortals.

——All he needed to do back then was say hello to "Minister Moriarty".

After all, Avalon was originally a tiny country surrounded by the sea. The power of the goblin merchants was much greater than that of a barren land like Avalon... There were thirteen factions in the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, but only two of them were stationed in Star Antimony. However, if only one of the two factions wanted to destroy the economy of Star Antimony, Star Antimony would be on the verge of extinction, and countless families would be ruined.

This era is an era of economy and trade. The land is only 30%, while the ocean is 70% of the world. The goblins who control the entire ocean are now the uncrowned kings of this era.

It is because of the existence of the Silver Crown Dragon that the authoritarian power has led to a significant reduction in wars around the world. Otherwise, in times of chaos, countries of this size can be said to be everywhere... If it weren't for the Theocracy behind them, Avalon would not be worth caring about.

On the contrary, the superior extraordinary people are the ones who really need to be respected, because they represent violence and possibility.

If Xingti didn't know that "Meg is dead", they would never dare to attack Avalon. For the fifth-level extraordinary people who are equipped and prepared, the impact of the number of people is actually meaningless... He himself is the fifth-level extraordinary person, so he naturally knows this truth.

Wars between countries are, to a large extent, wars between superior transcendent beings.

But now...when he faces Aiwass again, he must perform the full ceremony.

Whether it is the Theocracy, the Good Lord or the fifth-level extraordinary being, they all deserve his full respect.

——This is what businessmen are like.

Speak differently to different people and give different conditions and attitudes to different customers, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, this is also a kind of balance.

"I have read your contract," Grandet accepted it calmly and elegantly, "We have no questions. If you need, we can start construction tonight. From the Dongmoro Water Station in the Narcissus Territory of the New Herasl Empire to the border, 56 kilometers, from the border to the Aurora City, 23 kilometers, the total length of the underground waterway is 79 kilometers, and the diameter is about 4.3 meters... It only takes three days to complete the construction of the main body of the sewer. If you need additional widening and reinforcement, the construction period may last until the seventh day at the latest."

“This is happening a little faster than I thought.”

Aiwass praised: "It seems that I still underestimated you. If the waterway is widened to 7.2 meters, how much more time will it take?"

"The main part will take two more days. However, the subsequent repairs may take an additional week... But I don't think it's necessary, sir. The standard waterway with a diameter of about 4.3 meters is enough to accommodate the full throughput of the East Moro Water Station, or even more than enough. If it is too wide, the slope must be increased, which may cause siltation in some corners or interface areas due to insufficient water pressure impact."

Grandet seemed to have guessed what Aiwas was planning, so he said directly: "Why don't you listen to my idea?

"Actually, I have a suggestion—"
