Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Tell others that this is our secret weapon. Fully cooperate with all requests from the other party and make sure there is no possibility of any information being leaked."

"Yes!"

Manfred immediately returned to deliver the order.

"It seems that you are still willing to cooperate with me."

Qiao Yelan waited until Manfred walked away before asking with interest.

"...The cooperation between us was not decided by me. If you are willing to continue, then go ahead."

"Don't worry so much, Mr. Tracy."

Qiao Yelan comforted him kindly.

"Whether as a leader or a commander, you are very capable, and your execution ability is second to none - so you don't have to worry about being abandoned by me for the time being."

Then thank you so much.

The corners of Sarkaz's mouth twitched, and he took two steps back silently. He went from facing Qiao Yelan face to face to standing shoulder to shoulder with Kal'tsit, looking like Qiao Yelan's follower.

Then he saw the damn green-haired Philin turned around and frowned at him, looking very dissatisfied.

Tracy said that he would endure it, and then took half a step back. Kal'tsit then relaxed her brows, turned around again and started communicating with the transport team.

Your female horse.

If Qiao Yelan hadn't been right next to him, he really would have wanted to draw out his sword and give the old woman a blow.

Only after watching the huge land-based vehicle carrying the giant beast's skeleton drive into the valley did Tracys speak again.

"You guys can fully utilize the abilities of this giant beast?"

"Of course, as long as the time and space channel nodes are set up, the Ursula can go there, and both people and cargo can arrive intact and safely."

"Who is driving this skeleton?"

Qiao Yelan shrugged.

"Theresa is currently training a lot of kids. There seems to be a lot of Caprini among them. After the fall of the Witch King, many Leitanians with shadow magic talent fled to Kazdel for fear of being liquidated. This will be a good way to expand the warlock team."

"You mean, no one can officially use it yet?"

Tracy was a little confused.

"No, I'm probably the only one who can use it right now. Kal'tsit can only use it temporarily. This question is a bit complicated to explain, but I think that experiencing it yourself should help you understand it."

Qiao Yelan took out a pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Tracy.

Sarkaz stretched out his hand in confusion, but the moment he received the pocket watch, he loosened his hand as if he had been electrocuted. His whole body shook and his face showed pain.

"What...was that sound?"

"It's Ursula's angry wail - the souls of the beasts are much tougher than their bodies."

Qiao Yelan hooked the chain and shook it.

"If you want to drive the skeleton, you must use this pocket watch. In other words, you must endure this thing that whispers and roars in your ears all the time before you can use the power from Ursula."

Tracy looked at Qiao Yelan. He did not forget what Qiao Yelan had said before, that he could use this pocket watch.

In other words, Qiao Yelan could easily suppress this soul-shaking sound.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand again and grasp the pocket watch. This time, after being prepared, Tracys held on longer, but finally let go.

"You...how did you do that?"

Tracy was breathing heavily. It was the first time he realized that Qiao Yelan’s strength might not just be in terms of strategy.

"Nothing, I'm just used to it. There were more than one person making noises near my ears before, and the noises were much louder than this."

Qiao Yelan looked normal.

"A rabbit sitting on a brass toilet, an old man who likes to make soup, a bird who loves reading, and a big sister who looks like a Sarkaz. Compared to these four, Ursula and the like are nothing."

Tracy was silent. Although he didn't understand what Qiao Yelan was saying, there was no doubt that this man was much more terrifying than he had imagined, as he could endure such a terrible sound for years.

Seeing that Tracy stopped asking questions, Qiao Yelan took back the pocket watch.

The reason why Qiao Yelan was willing to use the Dayan-Victoria trade route as a deposit for the Longmen coins was naturally because he had more profitable trade routes. One of the foundations for this trade route to make money was to create a universal currency that could be circulated among countries.

This is just the starting point of the first space-time channel. Later, multiple space-time channel nodes will be built, such as Rem Billiton, Casimir, Victoria... This will be an ultra-high-speed channel connecting the entire Terra.

And the Tower of Babel will seize incredible wealth from this waterway.

"Then I'll have to trouble you here, Mr. Tracy. I hope you can work together with Kal'tsit to complete the space-time channel node here as soon as possible."

"I will."

Qiao Yelan nodded and was about to leave, but as if he remembered something, he stopped and turned to look at Tracys.

"Oh, by the way, Theresa is worried about you. She has always felt that you are distancing yourself from her, and you are gathering troops. It looks like you are going to start a rebellion. Explain it in detail. You don't want your sister to hate you, do you?"

Tracy nearly broke his teeth.

Who the hell is this all because of?

"Next, I will continue my business trip. After the construction here is completed, Mr. Tracy can use 10% of the freight volume each time to transport the materials you need. Of course, if the freight point does not have the things you mentioned, Babel Tower will also be happy to purchase this part of the freight volume."

"I'll write back to Theresa right away."

Qiao Yelan nodded with satisfaction. His kind heart couldn't bear to see such a tragedy of brother and sister turning against each other, so it would be better to help the two people communicate with each other.

Next, it’s time to take good care of your business partners.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No need to wait. I have been investigating here in Huiti City for a long time. It is indeed very suitable as my forward base to Longmen, and it is also very suitable as a retreat route."

Kosice entered the carriage and took off his raincoat.

"Have you finished your work in Dayan?"

"It's done. I'm going back to Casimir next. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for a whole year. I really didn't expect things in Dayan to be so complicated."

Qiao Yelan apologized sincerely.

"Nothing. I've heard that Da Yan sent another new Honglu Temple Minister to pave the way for the issuance of Longmen Coins. If I seize this opportunity, I will definitely do my best to gain benefits for myself."

Kosice seemed very easy to talk to. Even though she had a thorough understanding of economics, she could realize how much benefit was involved just by looking at the issue of countries unifying their currencies.

"Yeah, after a trip to Victoria, it's basically settled. Leitania and Lateran have also expressed their willingness to support - now only Ursus and Casimir are left."

Qiao Yelan nodded.

"As for Casimir, whether it's the Tower of Babel or your position, it should be easy to deal with them, right? On the other hand, Ursus lacks a person who can make the final decision, and the disputes between the various parties are very fragmented."

"Now, on the surface, the Ursus court is about to split into four factions. The military and the nobles are naturally on their own. After Fyodor took over the First Army, he and Speaker Witte have become estranged, and the pace between the two sides is widening."

Kosice frowned and told Qiao Yelan about the current situation in Ursus.

"Grand Duke Nicholas is in the best situation right now. Although he proposed disarmament, he was so lenient in supervising the disarmament that he could drown the entire northern wilderness. Therefore, the nobles still give him face. The emperor got the legion and position he gave him as a gift, and Speaker Witte had already made a deal with him under your mediation."

"That's natural. Grand Duke Nicholas is the weakest in political struggle. If I don't help him build relationships with others in advance, I'm afraid the next time I go to Ursus I'll be attending his funeral."

Qiao Yelan was not really surprised.

The farce of the "Infected Persons Act" allowed Nicholas to survive by cutting off his tail. He only threw away the position of police chief who was corrupted by the aristocracy, and obtained enough political capital for him to squander for several years. If Nicholas could be turned into others to deal with him in just one year, it would be a bit too outrageous.

"But you are wrong about one thing."

"what?"

Kosice was a little confused.

"It is actually easier for Ursus to convince these two countries to support Longmen Coin."

Qiao Yelan smiled and stretched out his index finger and shook it, denying what Kosice had said before.

"The hardest ones to convince are actually Casimir and his group of people who really understand the laws of business operation—"

"Because in their eyes, watching others make money is more painful than losing money."

Chapter 163: Witt: This sounds familiar

This time, Qiao Yelan did not pass through Trilinterme again, but went directly north from the west of Leithania, entered the territory of Ursus, passed through Chernobog, and went to the capital of Ursus.

Now that the situation in Letania has stabilized and the twins are capable enough to stand on their own, Qiao Yelan will delegate as much power to them as possible.

Even though some of the guys before might have slipped and killed themselves, or might have caused some trouble themselves, Qiao Yelan was only a human being after all - he had to prevent himself from being exhausted to death.

Therefore, in addition to inspecting Sergei's work progress again when passing by Chernobyl, Qiao Yelan took Kosice to the Holy Eagle Castle unimpeded.

It was already spring of 1079 - of course, spring always came late in the Castle of the Holy Eagles.

"Welcome to Saint Eagle Castle again, Mr. Qiao Yelan."

"Thank you for your hospitality - to be honest, I am really flattered that the Speaker is willing to send you to pick me up, Mr. Alexander."

Qiao Yelan smiled and shook hands with the man.

"You are His Highness Kosice's chief administrative officer. If I don't come to greet you, it would be too much of a disrespect to you."

Alexander Ivanov, Mr. Secretary General of Speaker Witte, had an extremely serious expression on his face.

What he didn't say was that when Speaker Witte assigned him this task, he told him in a serious tone that he must be careful with every word he said to the other party and say as little as possible.

"You are too polite. I came to the Saint Eagle Castle this time to discuss a deal with Speaker Witte. I wonder when the Speaker is willing to meet with me?"

"Your Excellency the Speaker has been very busy lately. Please wait for a few days, Your Excellency Qiao Yelan. I will go back and report to Your Excellency Witte and see if you can spare time to see you."

Qiao Yelan still had a smile on his face.

"It's good that the Speaker is willing to see me. I will wait for your good news. I will stay at the Belmond Hotel during this period. When the Speaker is free, please send a servant to deliver a message."

"Okay, which room are you staying in?"

"Which room? No, the Belmond Hotel—"

Qiao Yelan was slightly stunned, then corrected with a smile.

"I have already booked that hotel."

A trace of barely perceptible surprise flashed across Alexander's face.

As the Castle of the Holy Eagle, it can even be said to be the most prestigious hotel in all of Ursus. If you want to book the entire hotel there, apart from an astronomical check, you also need connections with people who are well-connected.

And this is the price per day.

Because this hotel is where all the dignitaries like to stay and hold dinner parties, booking one more day means offending one more person.

Judging from Qiao Yelan's tone, it was obvious that he planned to keep the family business until he left Saint Eagle Castle.

"I see. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No, please convey my regards to the Speaker."

"I will."

After saying goodbye, the two got in the car and drove off in different directions.

------------------------------------------------------------

"You said that guy booked the entire Belmond Hotel?"

"Yes."

"He didn't say he hoped to see me soon?"

"No."

"And then he left?"

"Yes."

After a brief question and answer session, Speaker Witte frowned.

What does this guy named Qiao want to do?

With the title of Grand Duke Kosice, it is not a problem to book a hotel for a few days. After all, this Grand Duke is a man of strength and lack of desire. No one is interested in provoking an immortal who is also the highest-ranking noble in Ursus.

But the price of the hotel for these few days is not something that the impoverished Grand Duchy of Kosice can afford.

Witt did not forget that he had given Qiao Yelan a large sum of money before, and the other party also reciprocated by helping to set up a smuggling route with Casimir. Although it was a bit of a detour, it was extremely stable.
