"Hehe, that's a good idea, but if Baron Cook doesn't agree and walks away, what do you think will happen if such a situation is leaked out?" someone sneered.
Everyone was speechless for a while, and now the people in the Holy See can be said to be full of mentality, not only afraid that Cook will get huge benefits, but also afraid that Cook will give up halfway, and their thoughts are very complicated.
Mo Luo also felt a headache, because after the last injury, Mo Luo continued to recuperate, and Mo Luo was not proficient in these conspiracies and the like, and Cook used a yang scheme, not afraid that the Holy See would not agree.
Mo Luo sighed, Mo Luo could think that he could get rid of the frontal entanglement with the Orc Empire, which was an irresistible temptation for the empire and the Holy See, Mo Luo knew that the Scarlet Fortress was a huge cancer, constantly absorbing the supplies, manpower, material resources, financial resources and so on of the entire empire and the Holy See.
"Miss Morrow, do you see?" the Pope was also a little weak-hearted.
The Pope is weak in his heart, if Cook gets a huge benefit after signing the contract, he will be ridiculed by the whole empire and even the whole world, and it is more likely that he will face unknown punishment.
If he does not agree, the Pope dares to guarantee that many people in front of him will not let him go, and tomorrow this matter will be publicized, and then he may only become the first pope in history to resign voluntarily.
Mo Luo was angry in his heart, the Pope's meaning of asking this was nothing more than to pull himself into the water, and if there was anything, someone would carry it together, but Mo Luo then saw a glimmer of opportunity.
That is to completely eliminate the opportunity to be the enemy of the orc empire, once it succeeds, then there will be a strong amount of credit in the book, but opportunities and crises coexist, and Mo Luo can't grasp whether he should join or not.
Mo Luo thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if we should wait and let the intelligence department go all out to collect information about Baron Cook and the Orc Empire?"
"Yes, yes!" the Pope sighed in his heart that Mo Luo's answer was wonderful, which not only delayed the time for the Holy See to have a discussion with the upper echelons of the Empire, and to gather intelligence, and then see if there was any information that would benefit the Empire.
The top brass of the Holy See and the Empire have agreed to the Pope's proposal, only the intelligence part is not satisfied, after all, the pressure is too great, but the intelligence department does not dare to speak up, after all, if they stand up and talk nonsense, they are afraid that they will be angry.
In fact, Mo Luo also understood that the entire Holy See and the Empire were divided into two parts, one was the intelligence agency, the financial department, and the Privy Council, and the personnel of these major departments were very eager to sign a contract, because the pressure on finance, intelligence, and personnel attrition of the Scarlet Fortress was too great.
And the Inquisition is eager to burn all the believers in the world who are not the God of Light at the stake, so they are very reluctant to sign a contract with Cook, and there is the department in charge of combatants, which is too rich in oil and water, and the annual money flows into their pockets, as well as the temple guards, the priest's temple, these people use the Scarlet Fortress as a good trial, but the cost of this trial is too great.
And Cook was wandering the street with Ume, to Cook's surprise, although the people here were in good spirits, without a trace of decadence, although the rich were very well dressed, but they did not show off, and the passing crowd was in a hurry, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
There are very few taverns in the Holy City, only a small number of taverns, and the people sitting in them are hardly from the Empire of Light, which Cook has long known, due to the existence of the Scarlet Fortress.
Most of the financial, material, and manpower of the Empire of Light are consumed by the Scarlet Fortress, in the Empire of Light, there are strict rules for winemaking, and it is not allowed to brew wine without permission, and the taxes are also very heavy, especially the richer the people, the heavier the taxes collected, even if it is a noble.
Cook couldn't help but sigh, the power of faith is sometimes really too strong, Cook suddenly had an urge to tell, it is also about faith, in the memory of Cook's soul, there is a red faith, this faith has supported tens of millions of people to fight for this faith.
"Ume. Cook shouted softly.
"Hmm!" Ume whispered as she looked at the crowd of people on the street.
"Did you know that for tens of thousands of years, the wars between the Empire of Light and the Orc Empire have directly led to the deaths of tens of billions of people, and on average, the number of people who die and fight in the Empire of Light every year is as high as 300,000. Cook told Ume what he had learned.
"Actually, the Empire of Light is a fool!" Ume's next sentence almost caused Cook to fall to the ground.
Cook looked at Ume suspiciously, then asked, "What do you say?"
"When I was in the Mekai Empire, some wolf cavalry told me that every time I started a war with humans, the empire was a last resort, our orcs were too fertile, but the land was not fertile, so whenever the number of people broke through a certain limit, then the high level of the empire would start a war, and when the grain production was reduced, a war would also be launched, if I were the top of the Empire of Light, I would let the orcs work, or exchange food for the fur of the orc empire, magic herbs and other things, but the Empire of Light chose war. Ume explained with wide eyes.
Cook couldn't help but look at Ume with admiration, in fact, Cook knew about it, the war that started with the Orc Empire was actually that some people valued the huge profits of smuggling into the Orc Empire.
Once the orc empire is blocked, the price of luxurious furs, gems, magic herbs, and monster cubs will be extremely low, so the light empire will block the orc empire.
I have to say that the following people of the Empire of Light succeeded, hundreds of thousands of gold coins of gems were exchanged for hundreds of gold coins, and millions of gold coins of Warcraft cubs could only be exchanged for a few inferior iron pots, and the huge profits made all the high-level leaders of the Bright Empire indulge in the sea of gold coins.
At the beginning, there was no Scarlet Fortress, but as soon as it was blocked by the Empire of Light, the Orc Empire immediately counterattacked, and the three major provinces of the Empire of Light were ransacked by millions of orcs, leaving nothing at all, and even humans were all taken away.
Since then, the Orc Empire and the Bright Empire have formed a mortal enmity, and for tens of thousands of years, these Cooks learned from some secret channels.
"Hello Cook!" a voice interrupted Cook's thoughts as he pondered.
"Hehe, Miss Morrow. Cook smiled, although Cook had expected someone to come, but he didn't expect Morrow to be the first.
"Miss Ume. "Mo Luo knew Ume, who wore a white hat that covered her ears and a long skirt that covered her tail, but Mo Luo recognized it at a glance.
"Miss Morrow, are your injuries healed?" replied Ume politely.
Mo Luo soon got together with Cook and Ume, but Mo Luo obviously sensed the strength of the four people who followed Cook, which was vaguely an iceberg, and even Mo Luo was very envious of Cook.
"Your Excellency, your four retinues are not simple. Morrow said tentatively.
"Hehe, they're my followers, they're the Frost Titans who have awakened their talents. Cook explained with a laugh.
Although Mo Luo had long expected that the identities of these four retinues were not simple, but the four Frost Titans with awakened talents were retinues, but I am afraid that there are few people in the God Realm who have such great ability, and the Titans are quite an amazing race in the God Realm, and even the arrogant dragons have to give the Titans a face.
And the rest of the race dragons don't pay attention to it at all, it can be said that the dragons are a group of crazy people and a group of scoundrels in the god realm.
"They're wearing demonic equipment?" Mo Luo saw again.
"Hehe, tinkered. Cook replied with a smile, in fact, these four people are one of the few high-quality magic pattern equipment, and the repair is just a disguise from West Asia.
Mo Luo felt better, because Mo Luo thought that it was damaged and repaired, and once the magic pattern equipment was damaged, it would be very troublesome to repair, and the power would be reduced a lot.
The three of them walked on the street like this, Mo Luo didn't speak, of course Cook wouldn't speak first, Cook was faintly excited in his heart, he could compete with an angel clan for endurance, I was afraid that he was the first one.
Finally, Mo Luo couldn't help but ask, "Cook, what's going on with today's agreement?"
"Hehe, I can't bear to see the people of the Bright Empire die in vain, look at these people, with dishes, most of the people are wearing patches, an average of 300,000 personnel losses per Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know if the top of the Bright Empire is cold-blooded or what's going on, and the cost of tens of millions of gold coins per year, and according to the statistics of the Magician Guild, the average life expectancy of the Bright Empire is only forty-one years old, ten years younger than the average age on the mainland, this is because the labor intensity of the Bright Empire is high, and the food is poor, and what is the reason for today's situation, is because of a small part of greed, tens of thousands of years The Bright Empire can only maintain the status quo, why." Cook originally wanted to say it in a high-sounding manner, but then he unconsciously accused the Empire of Light.
"Cook, it's not clear in one sentence. Although Mo Luo didn't know what was going on, Mo Luo couldn't say that he didn't know, so he had to be sloppy.
Cook sighed helplessly and said, "Mo Luo, is this how the God of Light treats his disciples?"
"Cook, don't talk nonsense. Morrow shouted to Cook that the words of the God of Light were blasphemous.
"Hmph, I'm really sad for the people who were born in the Empire of Light, Mo Luo, I don't believe you go and see for yourself what kind of life the people of the Dark Empire are, what about you? For the sake of the slightest immediate benefit, you dare to put the future of the entire empire on the line, I don't know what this empire is for?" Cook snorted coldly.
"Your Excellency!" Moro was really angry.
"Miss Morrow, I have already submitted the agreement, as for whether you agree or not, I will only give you two days to think about it, and I will leave as soon as the two days are over. Cook saw that Morrow was angry, and said with a straight face.
Then Cook said, "Don't want to keep me, you should know that I have a good relationship with the dragon, and there is a tribe of Frost Titans in my territory. ”
Mo Luo looked at the back of Cook leaving, and felt bitter in his heart, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, what was this for, Mo Luo then turned around and left, Mo Luo wanted to carefully check what Cook meant.
