Early the next morning, everyone got up early. Everyone was dressed in fancy clothes. Today was a meeting of various countries. How could you dress casually for such a grand meeting?
That morning, after everyone had eaten, a group of bishops from the Holy See took everyone to the meeting place. This is the deacon's hall of the temple. It is the place where the Holy See of Light is responsible for enforcing religious laws. This deacon's hall is very solemn, but having said that,
, that building in the holy city is not solemn and solemn.
After everyone was seated, the Pope and the cardinals also came here. In front of the deacon's hall was a throne. The church sat directly on it, while the cardinals stood around the Pope.
Then the Pope solemnly said:
"Everyone, welcome to this meeting. First of all, I want to make an opinion. The Church of Light is a peace-loving land, and it is a neutral territory here, so I hope there will be no bloodshed."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding, and then the Pope continued:
"Some time ago, wars began to break out in various countries. During the wars, Gonzalez of the Magic Empire disappeared. I would like to express my condolences here!"
Everyone said nothing and looked at Palu. After a while, the church continued:
"According to the laws of the empire, the defeated party has the right to buy back the occupied territories and cities with money. The countries that occupy the Magic Empire cities have the right not to sell them. However, looking at the current situation, I still give you my opinions from a peaceful perspective.
, you can discuss and deal with it yourself below."
Sir Ma stood up and said:
"After our discussions, and with the consent of His Majesty Fa XIX, we are willing to purchase and take back each county and city for 100 million gold coins."
Then Sir Ma sat down, while the other empires looked at each other, but no one spoke. Just when the entire hall was filled with a quiet atmosphere, the representative of the Garma Empire stood up and said:
"We agree to return Shuicheng, but the price requirement is 500 million gold coins."
Wood and others looked at each other. They had guessed this a long time ago. The Gama Empire was too far away from the Magic Empire. It was still a bit difficult to manage the water city across the country. Moreover, Gangze could attack at any time. It was better to get more gold coins now!
However, Sir Ma believed that the purpose of the Gama Empire's return of Shuicheng was not to give the Magic Empire a chance to breathe, but that after the return, Gangze would send troops to capture Shuicheng, because now all the troops were concentrated in Fire City, and as long as Gangze was there
If Sand City or Galen City is defended, the Magic Empire will not have any chance to resist.
However, Wood saw a way out. As long as Shuicheng returned, he would wait for Gangze to send troops to attack. As long as he attacked Galen City during this period, Gangze would definitely retreat. When the time comes, all the troops would explode. It would be impossible to send Gangze back to his hometown.
impossible.
The meeting continued. Seeing that the magic side did not speak, an envoy from Gangze laughed and said:
"Don't count on it. Even if they want to buy back Water City now, they don't have that many gold coins. They are no longer the Magic Empire they were before."
Shi Long slapped the table and said:
"Fart, let me tell you, we only offer 100 million gold coins, and your Jiama Empire is not willing to buy it, so just wait until Gangze rebels and attacks Shuicheng!"
The envoys from the Gangze side yelled angrily, and the Pope saw that the meeting was getting more and more chaotic and hurriedly stopped him. However, the shouts and curses from the two parties became louder and louder, and the Pope had no choice but to do anything.
The only two quiet people in the venue were Wood and Eva. Both of them were looking around quietly at this time, as if the noise had nothing to do with them.
Just when everyone was getting more and more noisy, Eva said softly:
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
The voice was not loud, but it was filled with concentration magic, which instantly silenced everyone in the entire venue. Then Eva said:
"It's your business how much gold coins you pay to buy Water City. It's their business whether the Jiama Empire is willing to sell it. I don't think there is any need to dwell on this issue."
Just when Eva finished speaking, Wood said coldly:
"We agreed."
"What?" Everyone looked at Wood in confusion. What did he agree to?
Wood said it again:
"We agree to purchase Shuicheng for 500 million gold coins."
"hiss"
Everyone gasped, and Susan hurriedly said in Wood's ear:
"What should we do if our stock is not enough 500 million gold coins?"
Wood smiled and did not answer Susan, but looked at the Gama Empire, "You go back and draw up an agreement, and we will choose a time to sign the contract."
Then Wood stood up and looked at everyone and said:
"Where are your two empires?"
Gangze sneered and said:
"The Windy City and Galen City owned by Gangze will not be sold and returned."
Eva also looked at her fingers casually and said:
"I plan to transform the Tucheng into a prison to imprison those bitches from the Magic Empire."
Although Eva did not answer directly, her meaning was very clear, that is, she would never return it.
Then Wood sat down, and when the Pope saw that everyone was quiet, he said:
"Now that you have made a decision on this matter, let's discuss the next issue."
Everyone looked at the Pope, and the Pope continued:
"Well, you have been borrowing food from our Holy See recently, but the Holy See doesn't have that much food! You want to borrow some, and they also want to borrow some. If you borrow the food, what will our Holy See do?"
Gangze’s envoy stood up directly and said:
"Let's pay the gold coins to buy the head office!"
The Ice and Snow Empire messenger also stood up and said:
"We can also buy it with gold coins. As everyone knows, our ice and snow empire is covered with snow all year round, making it difficult to grow plants, so we buy food for the common people."
Sal sneered and said:
"To put it nicely, the Magic Empire has always had a relationship with you before, lending food to your Ice and Snow Empire all the year round. But what about now? It's not just about massacring the people of our Magic Empire. You may sound nice, but you are actually a villain who goes against your will.
"
The envoy of the Ice and Snow Empire looked at Thrall fiercely, and Thrall looked indifferent. This thing is indeed true. During the Sith Dynasty, the Ice and Snow Empire was a vassal state of the Magic Empire. At that time, the Ice and Snow Empire
The Magic Empire had been unable to obtain food all year round, so the Magic Empire had to help itself. However, this relationship was later broken in the hands of Fa XVIII. The Ice and Snow Empire began to become enemies of the Magic Empire, and the war continues to this day.
Eva still looked at her fingers and said coldly:
"Big fists are king. Your Magic Empire first abandoned our Ice and Snow Empire, and now you are talking nonsense. Hey, the people of the Magic Empire are so shameless!"
Sal wanted to say something else, but Susan on the side said angrily:
"You are talking nonsense. Back then, your Ice and Snow Empire supported the eldest prince's rebellion, which led to the collapse of the Magic Empire's regime. You were the shameless person."
The political situation at that time was very chaotic, and many things could not be explained clearly in a few words. When the Pope saw that everyone was about to quarrel again, he promptly said:
"Okay! Let's not talk about what happened before. Now let's talk about the issue of food. The Holy See does have food, but apart from the use of its own believers, there is not much that can be borrowed. You empires all want to
Borrow, then you can think of a way for yourself! The Holy See can only lend it to one force, and cannot borrow more."
The man from Gangze stood up again and said:
"We don't want to borrow food, how about we buy it?"
The Pope sneered and said:
"It's the same whether borrowing food or buying food, and my answer is the same, not much, you can make up your own mind!"
The empires that need to borrow food now include the Ice and Snow Empire, the Gangze Empire, the Garma Empire, the Shadow Kingdom and the Magic Principality. Here, the Gangze Empire and the Garma Empire are the least short of food, but they must borrow food. In fact,
In order to prevent the Magic Empire from borrowing food.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one said anything, but Susan pointed at Eva and said:
"Didn't you just say that big fists are king? Come on, let's compete! Whoever loses gives up."
When the Gangze people heard that there was going to be a fight, the people started to boo, but when the Pope saw that the situation was about to turn into a battle, the Pope hurriedly used sound wave magic and shouted:
"Everyone stop it."
The powerful magic wave made everyone cover their ears, even Wood was no exception. This old man had such powerful energy. It seemed that he must have surpassed the peak.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the Pope continued:
"I've already said that no combat incidents are allowed to happen here. Since you can't make a decision, then it will be handled in accordance with the laws of the empire and the military formation will be conducted to determine the outcome!"
