The gourmet among pirates

······

At this time, Mo Lin did not notice the hostility shown by Taoyao, because at this time, his attention was completely attracted by the teapot that Carter had just put back in its place.

The remaining tea in that teapot is a living source of nutrients for Mo Lin!

For your own nutrients.

Maureen didn't ask Carter, the secret agent in charge, to refill her glass and started directly.

Under the surprised gaze of Director Carter, Maureen picked up the teapot and drank the remaining black tea in one sip.

Peace of mind!

After finishing the tea in the teapot, Maureen was in the mood to take over Carter's words and said: "Did you learn it on the fly? It seems that Director Carter is really talented as a tea artist!"

Morin's words seemed to be praising Carter's talent, but the plot contained in it was probably only known to Morin himself.

Even Taoyao could see Carter's inconsistent performance.

In addition, Molin, who has been tested by flowers in her previous life, can't she see what Director Carter wants to do?

How can it be!

Director Carter's level of tea art is completely inferior compared to the level of one of his ex-girlfriends in his previous life.

Even on some levels, the two people are not of the same dimension at all.

Maureen, who could see through his ex-girlfriend’s tea art, would not be able to see through Carter’s style!

You must know that in your previous life, it was because you saw your ex-girlfriend’s tea skills that you reluctantly broke up with that caring little cotton-padded jacket!

At this moment.

If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Maureen would have wanted to say directly to Carter, "Please, stop showing off your tea art. For no other reason than that, your tea art level is so low that I can hardly stand it anymore." .”

Except for the influence of the ex-girlfriend.

The testimony of a famous female agent "The Widow Sister" in Mo Lin's previous life has already made Mo Lin completely unloving for those agents who often use their own physical resources to complete certain tasks.

But it was the ‘Qimen Tribute Tea’ in Carter’s hand that made Mo Lin very interested.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin asked directly:

"But speaking of it, Director Carter, your tea really shines in my eyes. To be honest, I have never tasted such top-quality black tea with such an endless aftertaste."

As he spoke, Mo Lin also played with the empty teacup in front of him.

"This 'Qimen Tribute Tea' is a special reward given to me by Master Wulaoxing after I made great achievements in my previous mission! Master Wulaoxing just gave me one kilogram at the beginning, in addition to the one that came to entertain the Governor just now. , I haven’t touched the rest yet. Since Governor Mo Lin likes it, the remaining ‘Qimen Tribute Tea’ will be given to the Governor.”

After showing Molin a just right smile, Director Carter asked someone to present a white jade porcelain jar with exquisite workmanship that could almost be called a work of art in front of Molin.

The tea in this white jade porcelain jar is the "Qimen Tribute Tea" that Mo Lin had just drunk.

After seeing the white jade porcelain jar, Mo Lin's eyes lit up and burst out with intense brilliance. He showed a sincere smile to Carter and said: "Since Director Carter is so generous, I won't be polite." , I will accept this jar of tea."

Carter pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "Of course, this was originally a gift to the Governor. I just hope that the Governor will not dislike it."

After speaking, Carter turned around slightly and walked towards where he was sitting just now.

At the moment he turned around, a hint of gloom flashed across Carter's face.

As a woman, especially a female agent with keen intuition and awakened domineering power.

From the way Mo Lin looked at him just now, Carter could clearly feel that his tried-and-true beauty trap in the past seemed to have no effect on Mo Lin.

In the eyes of that guy Molin, his charm seems to be not as great as that of a can of tea...

After being an agent for so long, and with the help of a domineering assistant, Carter could certainly tell whether Molin was pretending not to be interested in him and playing hard-to-get, or whether he was really not interested.

It is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult for Carter to accept.

This even made Carter, who was extremely confident in his own beauty, have a little doubt about his appearance for the first time.

[Hmph, this damn guy is not even a man, but he is indifferent to me! 】

Thinking of this, Carter even felt a little angry towards Molin.

However, as a qualified agent, she quickly calmed down this angry mood.

In less than a second, a smile appeared on her face again before turning to face Maureen again.

Carter, who turned around and sat back down, met Tao Yao's unabashed eyes, full of warning and hostility.

what!

Looking at the beautiful girl beside Molin, who looked like an elf from a fairy tale, and her undisguised hostility towards him, Carter seemed to understand something.

[This kind of hostility... I understand. Does she like him too? 】

[No wonder that guy is indifferent to me. It turns out there is a better one around? Hey, man! 】

Although Carter is extremely confident in his appearance, his beauty is like Taoyao who stepped out of a fairy tale and simply surpasses the beauty of the human world.

Carter was also a little helpless.

However, after learning what Taoyao meant to Mo Lin, Carter seemed to have found an excuse, and suddenly felt a lot of comfort.

······

After sorting out his emotions again.

Director Carter said sternly to Mo Lin: "Governor Mo Lin, I'm afraid you are here to speed up the construction progress of my branch base!"

"That's right!" Mo Lin didn't hide the purpose of his trip.

In other words, there is nothing to be outrageous about. After all, he has already called the five old stars, so it would be a bit hypocritical to act like this again.

"Director Carter, when I came here just now, I saw that the main body of the branch base was almost completed. Why did you tell us not long ago that the construction progress of the branch base was less than 60%?" I remembered what I had just seen. After receiving the tea, Maureen asked Carter in confusion.

Chapter 135 Huge interests hidden in the dark

In response to Morin's inquiry, Carter smiled softly and replied calmly: "Governor Morin wrongly blamed me. I did not deceive the Governor."

"The Governor must have seen it when he came here just now. According to the special order of Her Highness Elizabeth, we built the naval branch for you completely according to the level of a naval fortress. This is much more difficult than building an ordinary naval branch. Quite a bit. As a result, the progress of the project will naturally slow down."

"And Mr. Governor. Although the main body of the fortress is almost completed now, the subsequent construction of the interior of the fortress, the layout of various defense facilities, the layout of pipelines, and the improvement of the interior decoration of the fortress are the most time-consuming. After all, a real naval fortress will have to be put into use for at least hundreds of years if nothing else happens, and the quality here is really anything but sloppy."

"In addition, everything in Rogge Town was destroyed by the Golden Lion. We have no ready-made tools and materials. All the materials we use need to be transported from other islands. After coming and going, we consume The time will naturally increase.”

At the end, Carter showed a wry smile. Compared to before, this wry smile seemed much more real to Molin.

Could it be that I really blamed her wrongly?

Seeing Carter's wry smile, Molin couldn't help but have such an idea, but in less than a second, this idea was rejected by Molin.

impossible!

Before Maureen could think more.

Carter continued: "And...Governor Morin also knows that the main task of bringing so many people here is not actually to help you build a base."

"Six months ago, I came to Rogge Town after being ordered to excavate the remains of the Celestial Dragons in Rogge Town. After half a year of digging, the results I achieved are still very impressive."

"Except for one noble Highness, we have found the remains of more than a dozen other world nobles in the original Rogge Town Square. But... precisely because of this, the world nobles have ordered me to The remaining remains of His Highness must be found as soon as possible, so now I can only mobilize hundreds of workers to continue to help you build the base. This is already the maximum number of people I can squeeze out. If there are more... I'm sorry There’s nothing I can do for the time being!”

After speaking, Carter apologized to Maureen with an apologetic look.

After listening to Carter's words, Mo Lin frowned slightly.

"Is that right?"

Carter nodded: "Of course, I don't dare to joke about the world's nobles, and although this matter is obscure, with Governor Molin's current status, it is not difficult to find out if you really inquire about it carefully."

After Molin took a deep look at Carter, she stopped worrying about this matter.

"In that case, Director Carter can tell me how long it will take for my branch base to be officially completed and put into use."

"It will take at least 5-6 months!"

With that said, Carter was prepared and took out a document and handed it to Molin.

It records the progress data of the fortress in detail.

"I see!"

Mo Lin did not open the document in front of him, but left directly with Taoyao and Ace.

······

After watching Mo Lin and others leave on a warship.

Director Carter came to a residence in Rogge Town alone, took out a phone bug from a dark partition, and then dialed the phone silently.

"...Sir, I have sent away the naval governor of the East China Sea!"

"Well, although the other party has some opinions, they don't doubt it! But I estimate that by then, the Navy will protest to the World Government again. In this case, we will not have much time left."

"Don't worry, sir, he didn't stay on the belt for too long. In addition, in those places on the island, I have already made disguises for them and asked them to evacuate. Even if it's like today A Governor of Morin won’t find anything with his knowledge, color, and domineering perception...”

"Okay, I understand sir!"

After reporting to an unknown big shot, Director Carter disappeared into the shadows in the corner and quietly left this inconspicuous residence.

······

What Carter didn't know was.

Behind a pile of construction materials less than a hundred meters away from her, Maureen, who had left and returned, almost watched her leave after she made the call.

A distance of one hundred meters was nothing to Molin, who had mastered the power of sound waves.

Therefore, this phone call that Carter thought was secret was clearly heard by Mo Lin.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that there are so many things hidden in a small Rogge town."

After Carter disappeared, Maureen hid in the night and quickly moved around Rogge Town.

Until about an hour later.

Morin stopped at the entrance of a hidden mine.

"Is this right here?"

Because of Mo Lin's "departure", the mine, which had been temporarily suspended, was reopened.

In fact, in the phone call Carter made just now, she did not want to reopen these mines so quickly, but the big shot on the other end of the phone seemed to be impatient. For him, every time the mine was shut down, every minute Seconds are huge losses.

In this regard, after struggling hard to no avail, Carter could only accept his fate and quickly reopen the mine.

After all, she is not the only one who has that adult at the new address of Rogge Town at this time.

Therefore, when Molin arrived here, he saw miners one after another, pushing carts of ore in and out of the mine.

Even though there was a lot of distance, Molin could still see the golden light shining on the carts of ore.

There is no doubt that this vein is a gold mine of staggering value.

After taking a look at this gold mine, which was said to have considerable reserves, Mo Lin hurried toward the next destination thoughtfully.

The next few hours.

In addition to the original gold mine, Molin also saw with his own eyes the jade mine, silver mine, iron mine, and a ruby ​​mine being mined.

······

After carefully visiting the entire island, Maureen finally knew how far Carter had dragged his fortress, and even concealed the real reason why she had found the last Celestial Dragon remains.

interest.

Incomparably huge benefits.

These huge, unknown interests are the reason why Director Carter sent by the World Government and the big shot behind her chose to take desperate risks.

Chapter 136 Call for foreign aid

"Gold mines, emerald mines, silver mines, iron mines, ruby ​​mines... The legacy left by the Golden Lion is truly astonishingly rich!"

These mineral veins discovered in Rogge Town are obviously not native to it.

These should all be from the islands thrown down from the top of the clouds by golden lions.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin suddenly felt that the golden lion with the ability of Piao Piao Fruit was really rich.

Not to mention owning so many islands, the islands he was interested in either had special mineral reserves or had some special resources.
