Chapter 5 The first mysterious meeting in life Part 2
Sidious returned to the conference room, asked a few questions, and then left Griffith in the lounge to wait for a while. Ten minutes later, the door of the conference room opened again, and Count Sharon stuck his head out and asked
He waved.
Eleven big shots took turns speaking in the fog-shrouded conference room. The mist from their cigars and pipes almost obscured their faces, making the entire meeting look inscrutable.

There is a man lying on the ground. He twitches like a salted fish from time to time, his eyes turn white, and drool drools from the corner of his mouth. It is as if he has been ravaged by eleven big men in turn...
As soon as Griffith sat down, everyone began to vote.
“Start from here,” Count Larmour said to him.
The big shots announced the numbers one by one.
The Counts of Larmour and Chalon each had 2 million, Cardinal Corvalen 6 million, Duke Mirantis and Sidious each had 10 million.
What is this? What is the unit? Can I ask a question? Griffith raised his head in confusion and saw Lord Salorian pointing to the man on the ground and saying that he offered 750,000.
“Okay, my Lords, let’s vote on the second motion now.” Count Larmore continued, “This aid fund will be mainly divided into two purposes.
"50% of the aid fund is used to acquire estates, mines and wasteland destroyed by floods and rebels. This will allow the control area near the old town to be connected and wrap around the towns and villages still controlled by the local nobles; contain and
Relieve refugees, build plantations, shops, and inns, and expand mines and workshops to resettle them.
“The other half will be used to issue five-year loans to local nobles and the government, with an annual interest rate of 6%, no mortgage and no guarantee. However, the Tenth Legion will be permanently stationed in Old Town.
"The above is the main purpose of the first round of aid funds. Appropriations and investments to local scholars, newspapers, schools and public welfare organizations are 3% of the total aid fund. All investors will make separate donations. Please supervise and arrange properly, Mr. Salorian
.
“The principal, income and risks of the aid fund will be shared by the investors in proportion to their capital contributions. We will discuss the second round of aid funds separately in the next stage.”
The second motion was also unanimously approved.
It turns out they were discussing this. What they were talking about just now was everyone’s contribution! Griffith quickly and accurately recorded the proposal.
Count Larmore's investment will allow him to receive a fixed income of 60,000 silver francs per year, and then he can purchase land in Verona that has been affected by war and floods at a very low price, and build shops and workshops. The return on investment may still be
More than 60,000 silver francs per year.
This is just the first round of investment.
Such a large amount of money is almost risk-free. Although there is no guarantee, who dares to say no to the Tenth Legion?
This is a risk-free income of more than 120,000 silver francs per year! I was still wondering why Sonia and the others were not sent two extraordinary people to sneak into the country to rescue them when they were surrounded. Was it planned from the beginning to take advantage of the situation?
Use them as bait to bring down the reputation of the rebels and Verona officials?
No, probably not. The Earl probably doesn’t think that Sonia is less important than hundreds of thousands of silver! Griffith felt that cold sweat was falling down his neck.
"Let me confirm, who will pay for the tenth legion?" Xia Long asked, "The local area must also provide an auxiliary legion, composed of veterans who are living in poverty but have not yet joined the rebellion. After this, they should know
There’s no point in fighting us and it’s impossible to win. Even my daughter can’t beat me, hum.”
"Of course it will be funded by the wise Senate, and Verona will also contribute part of it, which will be paid out from unsecured loans," a big man with his legs crossed said, "Xia Long, the Senate is sure that you will be the one to take the post.
Are you the commander of the army?"
"Yes," Count Chalon turned to Griffith and said, "delete the record about the expenses of the Tenth Legion."
Griffith immediately started applying it. He began to wonder whether in the eyes of the two earls, if their daughter was gone, they could buy another one with silver money.
“You really have a good daughter!” Another big shot said, “Can I propose marriage to Miss Fiona on Quanzi’s behalf?”
“No,” the count nodded to Larmour, “keep going.”
“Well, let’s continue,” Count Larmore said. “After talking about rights, let’s talk about obligations, my lords.”
…
The meeting lasted until late at night, and there was still no result on the third motion.
Twelve big shots were arguing in a non-stop manner.
Griffith never understood what everyone was going to do. He just vaguely knew that all the big shots here had to invest money in something that would not pay off in the short term and might not pay off in the long term.
The result is that everyone is unhappy.
The polite dignitaries began to abuse each other and interrupt each other's speeches. Griffith's notes were written and crossed out.
Count de La Mole began to speak. He pointed at a participant who was not a count but also a general and said:
“Last month you swallowed the 40,000 silver francs included in the budget, and the 80,000 silver francs you received from royal funds. Why don’t you have any money?
"Well, sir, since you have repeatedly interrupted me, I dare to use you as an example. Your noble ancestors followed Trajan's army. With these 120,000 silver francs, you should at least form a large army.
?Forget it, a squadron! Half a squadron, even if there are only fifty people. As long as they are ready to fight at any time, loyal to the noble cause, and regardless of life and death, then we don't need to discuss these things.
“However, you only have a few guards and a large number of servants. If the riot on January 22 occurs, they will still scare you.
"The Throne, the Senate, the Altar and the Nobility are under threat, as recent examples have made clear. If we do not have a loyal, rapid response force present at Neopolis, Bjelan and Verona
The shadow will come again, and the army will not be able to deal with it in time! There are some dangers that the army cannot deal with. The loyalty I am talking about is not just bravery, but also the firm will and belief to resist the corrosion of shadow and chaos.
"The leaders of this team must be composed of our children, our nephews, in short, real heirs of the nobility. Behind each of them there must be a group of people, not just rhetorical ones, who appeared in 1427
They are young, but they are simple and frank good soldiers; our children must educate them and turn them into loyal partners.
“Each of us sacrifice some income to build such a team.
"You say this is difficult, and you go on talking about it all night long; however, gentlemen, our heads are worth the price. This is a desperate battle between the Lord of Mystery and Shadow, Chaos, and our survival.
.
"You can be timid and welcome the destruction if you like, but don't be stupid. Please open your eyes!"
The Count said it well! Although there was a lot of information that he didn't understand, Griffith couldn't help but want to learn from the Count's speech. He felt that he would need it one day.
Lord Salorian spoke next. He was entirely on the side of Count Larmore, and the eloquence of his words was gentle and measured. Although Griffith suspected that he was also planning a conspiracy, he still liked his remarks very much.
Lord Lorian stated the following material facts:
“1. The three grand dukes of Verona, Odessa, and Sevastro and their nobles have no money. They will not give any money, and even want to stab Beyelan.
“Second, if there are no local nobles to contribute money, then the wise Senate must contribute the money, and all the lords here must contribute the money, otherwise, no one can resist the conspiracy of the mysterious enemy;
“Third, it is necessary to establish a capable and capable armed force that responds quickly, otherwise localities will not be able to organize even the most basic fighting in the face of a sudden crisis.
"Four,……"
With the firm support and instigation of Sidious, Headmaster Tiberion, and Count Sharon, this bill was reluctantly passed. Until the final vote, Duke Mirantis was still mumbling about his daughter and the prince.
Bringing a team of Shutoral can solve all these minor disturbances. Cardinal Colvaron also repeatedly said that the punisher can overcome everything, just pay the punisher.
After concluding these programmatic discussions, everyone began to discuss the fourth proposal, which revolved around mystery, shadows, chaotic conspiracies and an upcoming event.
In the end, Griffith discovered that the big shots present could not even tell what they were dealing with. The dangerous beings hidden in the darkness seemed to have no fixed form and no definite name. He seemed to be everywhere, but with
No language can accurately describe His image.
The participants did not even know which method could effectively combat this terror.
The discussion became more and more intense. This group of big shots were like boys in a dormitory telling ghost stories. Their innocence was unbelievable, but the information they had was horrifying.
Griffith heard a lot of confusing and terrifying news.
"These people will poison me to death, or they are planning to marry their daughter and sister to me," Griffith broke out in a cold sweat. "How can you say these things in front of a would-be knight?"
He has realized what task he is going to perform.
The relatively certain information is that a certain terrorist entity that dominates the Deathrattle Order is carrying out a conspiracy that even these big shots can only speculate and fear. As a frontline soldier, he has never mastered so much mission information, and has never dealt with it like this.
The coming dangers are well known.
Count Larmore kicked him out again, and Sidious gave him a genuine Oblivion Charm.
When Griffith was summoned again, Count Chalon smiled and said to him that the fourth motion was passed, and it was enough to write it in the record that it was passed. Then he began to speak, drawing the attention of everyone who was still arguing.
The four extraordinary beings will personally go to the front line to encircle and suppress the members of the Deathrattle Order, and whatever they are planning will be destroyed. Griffith, the secretary of this meeting, will go to the local area as the agent of the meeting to supervise these extraordinary beings.
researchers and local Extraordinaries and officials, and then investigate the true purpose of the Deathrattle Order.
Griffith memorized it carefully, commenting in his mind while listening.
Count Chalon said:
“My lords, let us implement the fourth resolution. The configuration of the extraordinary commando team sent to Revan is as follows:
“Lordes Basilico Listener, Spellcaster Path Sequence 6 ‘Secret Peeper’, currently Professor Homemon Watts, he serves as the Commando Commander and Chairman of the Former Enemy Committee.”
Hiss, Professor Dry Ice! Griffith felt uncomfortable when he thought about seeing this person often in the upcoming tasks. What if he didn't teach him about face, and then he found an opportunity to make trouble in the final exam?
“Erza Valkyrie, Witcher Path Sequence 6 ‘Light and Shadow Edge’, currently a tactical instructor at Beacon Academy.”
Ah, squadron leader! Griffith was about to scream with joy. With the squadron leader here, I am not afraid of dry ice.
“Morrow Bacchus, Assassin Path Sequence 6 ‘Stalker’, Senior Investigator of the Central Bureau of Investigation.”
Assassins, I don’t know much about them, but I have killed several Beyonders in the Assassin path. They were all noobs, so beating me was like scraping.
“Horus Osiris, Priest Path Sequence 6 ‘The Word Bearer’, Bishop of Baieran of the Holy Light Church.”
What is this? I have never heard of it, but it feels very powerful. I am indeed too shallow.
There is no more, there are four commandos in total. Griffith looked at it and felt that the configuration looked okay, but there was no vanguard. Erza would not be allowed to serve as the vanguard.
