St. Paul was stunned when he heard what Lorraine said.
Although he thought that Lorraine would stand up and take a risk for Hilmeria, he did not expect that Lorraine would be so resolute and ready to go out immediately after agreeing. He couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Thinking about coming to St. Paul, a cunning person like Lorraine would definitely find ways to wait for a while to make preparations. I didn't expect Lorraine to be so straightforward.
Knowing that Lorraine was doing this for Hilmeria, St. Paul felt complicated in his heart. He was very relieved at the same time and a little angry at the same time.
Hilmeria next to her said anxiously: "Lorraine, think about it again, we are not ready yet, at least let us notify the intelligence system on the Amali Continent so that they can be prepared.
I'll help you when the time comes. Just run there by yourself and there won't be any chaos."
Lorraine smiled and then explained: "We were not prepared, but neither were the enemies. They would not have thought of it either."
Everyone was immediately shocked and began to think deeply.
Lorraine continued: "At least judging from the fact that you paid the price of three intelligence agents, your intelligence system definitely has loopholes. Maybe the demons have already taken advantage of it."
St. Paul remained silent for a moment. He was the only one who knew this high-level core secret. He also suspected that the people lurking over there were no longer safe.
St. Paul even considered the serious situation, that is, the undercover agent over there has been exposed, and the entire spy network may have been discovered by the demons. At this time, sending people there will naturally take great risks.
According to what Lorraine said, being able to take things by surprise might actually be an effective method.
In fact, both the Holy See and the demons know that they have an undercover agent assigned to deal with them. They know it, but it is difficult to find it.
Lorraine stretched, rubbed his face with his hands, and said, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. I have to go back and prepare, bring some necessary things, weapons and equipment, and then call Vera.
"
Everyone here is also a person who achieves great things. The so-called people who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and I am talking about them.
They will never procrastinate on anything that has been decided, but will put it into effect immediately.
Therefore, everyone is not too surprised by Lorraine's decision, because if they put themselves in Lorraine's shoes, they would make the same decision as Lorraine. Everyone knows that surprise is one of the keys to victory.
Although Hilmeria was reluctant to give up, she didn't say much, she just prayed for Lorraine in her heart.
But Lorraine stood up and looked at St. Paul with a look of expectation.
St. Paul couldn't help but look back at him with some confusion, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Is there anything else?"
Lorraine grinned and said: "Your Majesty, since you want to send me to the demon clan to inquire about information and to lurk and cause sabotage, why don't you have the nerve to pay a few travel expenses, start-up funds and so on?
Boss, you are not so stingy, are you?
No, is it really true that there is no expression at all?
You know, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers~
You just have the heart to watch me go to the other side of the Iron Curtain without any money. How can I carry out my work? How can I engage in underground activities?"
St. Paul paused for a moment, dumbfounded for a moment.
He cursed in his heart: This bastard and scumbag is indeed just like the rumors, he is a land-scraping master who is "three feet high in the sky". He actually made all the plans on my head.
Thinking of this, he hated it so much that he was about to fall out: You know, since the founding of the Holy See, including himself, there have been a total of one hundred and forty-three popes.
But it has always been the pope who has taken money out of other people's pockets, and no pope has ever been blackmailed by others~
The rest of the people also laughed bitterly. This bastard is indeed a top-notch scumbag~
He is worthy of the title of Friend of Pluto, he is really a money-hungry person.
But St. Paul also had to admit that Lorraine was right, and intelligence was never cheap.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. I'll tell people to prepare it right now."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the stunned attendant next to him: "Go to the teaching treasury and bring five thousand gold coins."
Lorraine said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have to remind you. Intelligence work has always been very expensive. We have to disguise our identities."
St. Paul couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then ordered to the attendant: "Okay, bring eight thousand gold coins."
He paused for a moment, then looked at Lorraine and said, "Earl, I heard that the consumption level of the demons is very low. The money should be enough, right?"
Lorraine curled her lips and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is already old news. Now they are also starting to engage in real estate, and due to the existence of a lot of bubbles, the housing prices in third-tier cities have gone crazy. It is said that with
Just like the Japanese country, it is already beginning to collapse."
St. Paul immediately smiled and said: "That's right. Then the money should be enough."
Lorraine shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the real estate crashed, the economic downturn will cause a chain reaction, so it will cause nbsp;" Seeing the confusion on St. Paul's face, he immediately explained: "Well, that is
The consumer price index is a price change indicator used to reflect the prices of goods and services related to residents' lives. It is an important indicator for observing the level of inflation.
Do you understand what I said?
not yet?
That’s good...uh, bah, bah, bah, I mean actually, this thing is very important anyway. Haha, hahaha..."
He laughed a few times, and when he saw a suspicious look in St. Paul's eyes, he hurriedly continued: "Where did I just say? Ah, that's right.
If the economy is in recession, pi will rise sharply, causing inflation. The currency will depreciate sharply, prices will soar, and money will become worthless."
St. Paul hesitated for a moment. This theory seemed to be completely different from his own knowledge. However, he heard that Lorraine was very professional and looked like a roaring beast. He spoke full of professional terms. Although he heard that
I didn’t understand, but I couldn’t admit that I didn’t understand when I needed it, so I lost a lot of momentum. Feeling guilty, I felt that what Lorraine said seemed to make some sense.
He immediately sighed and said to the attendant: "Bring me 10,000 gold coins."
"Wait a minute." Lorraine looked at the attendant, shouted immediately, then turned his head, smiled toothily at Saint Paul again, and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, I am not going alone.
, and I still have Vera with me."
Saint Paul's face turned green with anger for a moment.
Never, never has a pope been blackmailed. Not to mention that it was like a little monk extorting money, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Okay, for the sake of that cute little maid, I will add ten thousand more."
Lorraine didn't expect that he would actually offer "ten thousand" with just one mouthful. It would be easier to move out of Vera than to ask for money. It was obvious that this old guy was a little biased, and he still demonstrated it to herself.
But what kind of person is Lord Luo?
Sir Alex is known as "the sky is three feet high, the earth is seven minutes thin, the skin is left when a tiger passes by, and the hair is plucked when a wild goose passes". How could he give up this great opportunity for blackmail? Of course he won't do this for such a trivial matter
care.
Lord Luo sighed, and then said politely: "Your Majesty, you know, girls are different from us men. It doesn't matter to me. If it weren't for the purpose of carrying out the work, I wouldn't have to spend a penny of funding.
They have always been very troublesome, and they like to eat snacks, buy beautiful clothes, and buy some gold and silver jewelry."
St. Paul slapped the table, looked at Lorraine with gritted teeth, and said in a cold voice: "Twenty-five thousand gold coins. If you want more, there will be no more~"
Seeing the determination on his face, Lorraine sighed and compromised: "Okay, okay. It's just this much money. I guess it should be enough. I wonder why your people are getting more and more lackluster."
Yes, it turns out it’s due to funding.”
St. Paul almost didn't vomit blood. Twenty-five thousand gold coins were enough to travel around the world, and it was an imperial luxury trip. He actually said that it was just about enough.
Why doesn't this bastard go and grab it?
But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while no one was paying attention.
This young gangster is really a headache. Even though I had been in the underworld, collected protection fees, hacked people with knives, and grabbed land and smashed nightclubs, but compared to that scumbag, I still have to deal with it.
It's a big difference. This method of making money is really powerful.
But as soon as he thought of this, he saw Lorraine baring her white teeth again, smiling like an insurance salesman or a coyote.
St. Paul's heart skipped a beat.
Then Lorraine continued: "Okay, now we have the money. Let's talk about the emergency funds. Your Majesty, you know. If something happens, we still need to pay a bribe and buy someone.
etc. These are very expensive.
This is the only way to get it. You know, if the gift is heavier, it doesn't matter, but if the gift is light, not only will it not be effective, but it will lose money and people. This is related to the security of the continent.
In intelligence work, you can’t miss crucial information just because you don’t have enough funds.”
St. Paul sighed longly and said: "You must be able to use it, right?"
He was beaten hard by Lorraine at this time, but it didn't matter, and then he said to the attendant who was still standing aside: "Go get another bag of gems."
He paused for a moment, looked at the attendant who was still stunned, stamped his feet, and shouted angrily: "Don't go yet."
The attendant reacted.
He glanced at Lorraine, fearing that Lorraine would make any more requests, so he turned around and ran out in a hurry.
Lorraine looked at his back, thought for a moment, and then shouted to him loudly: "Remember to pick a bigger one..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound.
It turned out that the attendant was in a panic and bumped his head against a pillar.
Everyone was shocked and stood up one after another, intending to go over and take a look at him, but then they saw the attendant jumping up from the ground as if he had springs on his feet.
He ignored the big swelling on his head and continued running out in a panic. He was like a rabbit being chased by a big bad wolf behind him, running as fast as he could.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Well, young people nowadays are like this. No matter what they do, they are all frizzy and there is no sign of calmness at all."
St. Paul glanced at him fiercely from the corner of his eye, and felt his blood pressure rising sharply. If he wasn't worried that if he beat him, his daughter would have a huge quarrel with him again, and he would now pluck a piece from the ground.
The bricks rose up and turned off Lorraine's pretty face. It was really abominable.
At this moment, Lorraine looked at him again with a pure smile.
St. Paul couldn't help but hesitate again. At this time, he himself wanted to run away.
Lorraine smiled like a standard politician, with the corners of her mouth turned up forty degrees, revealing her four white front teeth.
St. Paul couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. Is it still over?
He felt a little uncomfortable, coughed slightly, and then said: "Why, is there anything else?"
Lorraine rubbed his hands and said, "That's it, Your Majesty. Let's talk about the token issue."
St. Paul was astonished and said: "Token, what token?"
Lorraine bared her teeth and said with a smile: "No, Your Majesty, I am going to the Demon Realm. You just let me go there with bare hands. If I meet one of our own people, of course I will have to bring out a token to prove that I am
I'll send someone here. Otherwise, I'll go over and we'll contact our own people to figure out how to get started."
St. Paul said thoughtfully: "That seems to be a good idea."
But when he saw Lorraine's eyes staring at the huge diamond ring on his hand, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling, and he quietly turned the ring around.
Lorraine moved his eyes away from the ring and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this is a very serious problem. Of course it doesn't matter if we take some risks, but for the safety of the entire continent and to ensure that my work can go smoothly
Expand, this token cannot be simple.
It must be easy to use, so that the other party can trust me in one glance, and it must not be too sloppy, so that the enemy will suspect me at a glance, and must not let them seize my handle and find out my identity in one glance. My Majesty, this
But don’t be careless.”
St. Paul heard what he said was reasonable and couldn't help but nodded and murmured: "You are right."
Lorraine glanced at the ring on his finger, and then said: "Then, Your Majesty, what are you waiting for?"
St. Paul was immediately stunned.
Then he understood, smiled bitterly, reluctantly took off the huge diamond ring, handed it over, and said: "Earl, look, I just have such a token here. It is small and convenient, and it has always been there.
I carry it with me.
The 'Blue Flame Cut', with eighty-nine facets, was designed by Coin von Islven, a senior gem master in Antwerp.
Under the spotlight, the whole body glows with a soul-stirring blue light, like a mysterious blue flame burning.
There is only one in the world.
We can recognize our own people at a glance. Showing it will definitely prove your identity.
But outsiders, if they don’t know, can’t tell at all.”
Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Although the lordship is greedy for money, he always just wants to hug him, gems and pearls, etc. He only likes to pick big ones.
The classification of this jewelry is not very clear. Catherine and Adele interestingly did not tell Lorraine this knowledge. The only thing Lorraine knew was that the 'Eight Stars and Eight Arrows' diamond was awesome.
Seeing the pained look on St. Paul's face, he wanted to ask whether this 'Blue Flame Cut' or the 'Eight Stars and Eight Arrows' were more powerful, but after thinking about it, he finally decided
Shut your mouth to avoid making a fool of yourself in public.
He pretended to be an expert and held up the diamond and looked at it carefully for a while.
St. Paul was knocked for a long time by him, and he was angry at first. Then he turned his head and saw Hilmeria looking at Lorraine with her beautiful eyes without blinking. Full of reluctance.
He Tenderness, at the moment, was furious.
He sneered and said, "Xiao, do you see clearly? Be careful not to let the flash of light dazzle your eyes."
Lorraine ignored him and exclaimed excitedly, saying: "Wow, you can really see the blue light inside~ This is really good."
With that said, he pulled Hilmeria and said: "Look, look..."
Hilmeria looked at the behavior of this country bumpkin, but she didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she echoed with a smile on her face: "Yes, yes..."
In a blink of an eye, she saw St. Paul's livid face, and couldn't help but hesitate. Then, like a junior high school student who was caught by his father in early love, she laughed dryly twice, feeling guilty, and then sat back.
Lorraine looked at it for a long time and put it on her finger with satisfaction. Then she looked at the diamond and felt that although it was a little big, it felt right.
The last beautiful diamond ring was stolen by Emperor Rudelun, so this one must be kept as a family heirloom no matter what.
He admired it for a while, and then turned the ring around. The prince did not want this beautiful ring to attract other people's attention.
After putting it away, he said to St. Paul: "Okay, let's leave it to the issue of funding for now. Your Majesty, how should I get there? You must have arranged the route, right? It's such a long way, do you think it's safe?
It comes with a carriage. Let’s talk about it first, I won’t ride in a Lamborghini that is not an extended length…”
St. Paul was astonished and said: "Don't you know?"
Lorraine asked curiously: "What do you know?"
St. Paul was obviously delighted to finally be able to save some money from Lorraine's open mouth.
He pointed to the garden in front of the church in the city and said lightly: "In the garden in front, we have a teleportation magic circle left over from the Magic Age.
Although it took a long time, the positioning may not be accurate, but it can definitely easily send you to the Caribbean port on the continent."
Lorraine looked at him with confusion.
St. Paul immediately smiled and then explained: "Caribbean Port was the first port captured by His Majesty Urban when he launched his expedition. We have also operated the place for decades, and now we can transmit the coordinates
Calculation, the only sure place.
Several other transmissions were either destroyed or have expired over time."
Lorraine sighed and said: "So, the teleportation is one-way. So what should I do when I come back?"
St. Paul smiled and said: "We have already considered this. The sea outside the Caribbean Port has always been the territory of pirates. Among them, the famous Baihu Carson is one of ours. After the matter is over, you will
Contact him and you can come back via his ship."
Lorraine turned his head and thought for a moment, then said: "That's okay, but remember to send my battleship over. With it in charge, I will feel much more at ease."
St. Paul remembered Cui Wei's warship parked in the river, and nodded immediately, saying: "That's fine. As long as your warship can survive the wind and waves across the ocean."
The two discussed a little more details and finally finalized everything.
After St. Paul finished speaking, he looked at Hilmeria next to him. Seeing her anxious look, he sighed and said, "I'm going to prepare now. You... just talk a little longer."
Bar."
With that said, he led everyone out and left Lorraine and the two thoughtfully in the church.
Hilmeria didn't wait for everyone to go out, she had already rushed towards Lorraine, stretched out her arms and hugged Lorraine tightly, and said: "Lorraine, let's push this matter away, I don't think this is the Pope.
.Let’s go back to Nai’an…”
Lorraine sighed and said: "Hero, if we hadn't hooked up and had an affair, I would have said this. I'm afraid it's too late to say this now."
Hilmeria immediately patted him coquettishly and said: "What's the point of hooking up and turning into adultery? Can't your dog spit out an ivory from its mouth?"
However, she also knew that this matter was related to the safety of the entire continent, and she could not always be so weak and affectionate, so she couldn't help but sigh.
The two talked for a while in a very private manner, with very few forbidden personal words. Then they looked at the time and it seemed that it was almost time. They walked out of the church slowly together.
When they came to the courtyard, they saw that the area in the garden that was originally covered with flowers and weeds had been cleared.
A huge circle full of magic patterns and patterns appeared on the ground. Several attendants were bending down, filling the empty spaces in the middle of the patterns with magic gems.
Obviously, the operation of this magic circle consumes a lot of precious magic gems. Therefore, this thing is so impractical.
Lorraine looked at the crowd next to her and saw Vera standing among them. Her big smiling lake-blue eyes had turned into two crescent moons. It was obvious that she had already got the money and gems in her hands.
.
St. Paul also discovered the function of Vera's space ring and knew for sure that they were responsible for the robbery of the Grand Museum. He was looking at Lorraine angrily.
Lorraine's scalp felt numb immediately.
At this time, the magic array was fully charged, and the light blue light began to flash.
