Philimeta knew that she didn't know much about religion, so she didn't express any opinions to avoid being disliked by Sanifensha.
"But even if there is some connection between them, it won't cause much trouble." Sanifensa pondered and then said with a smile, "Universalism is always like that. What kind of wisdom can these lowly people have in their heads? Here comes the stuff.”
"But I heard people say that the Philodi family is quite close to the Universalist Church." Felimetta reminded.
There was an undisguised look of disdain on Sanifanza's lips, "As for Old Wine Barrel, he might be fine in business. He usually looks wealthy and powerful, but when it comes to political tactics, he's really not worth mentioning."
"Tell me, if they are not smart enough, what's the use of going to the Universalist Church? If they really start a fight, can they still expect the priests of the Universalist Church to tell them that they can't die?" Sanifensa laughed. Said with a smile.
"My cousin, he seems to be a bit cool, but he is not a fool. In addition, my cousin is not a good person either." Sanifensa said, "Oneyin and Philodi If the two groups really turn against each other, no one will get any benefit."
"Your Highness, you understand clearly." Felimeta praised in due time.
"Everyone else is easy to tell, but this Alvin, I have never met him." Sanifensa said, "If you don't know who he is, you will inevitably feel unsure."
"And for some reason, such a sudden figure makes me feel uneasy. I always feel like something is going to happen in the Principality of Boer." Sanifensa frowned and said, "In short, this person is a variable. "
"Your Highness, is this... a woman's intuition?" Felimetta asked curiously.
This is why Felimeta has been able to stay with Sanifansa for so long. She always knew when to say something and what not to say. She never flattered blindly, and occasionally showed some coquettish emotions.
The countess still knew in her heart that to be the confidant of the Grand Duke of Tiler, one must not only be effective in doing things, but also have an appearance and mind that are inferior to others. After all, no woman likes a woman who is more beautiful and smarter than herself.
After hearing this, Sanifanza couldn't help but chuckle, "Maybe. But my intuition is always very accurate. Especially when it comes to men."
"But you just listened to my description in a few words." Felimetta joked.
"Since it's just conjecture, there's nothing wrong with judging a person based on other people's words." Sanifensha said with a sweet smile, "So, intuition can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words."
"If it's as you predicted, should we just wait and see what happens, or should we take action?" Felimetta asked.
"It is not convenient for us to interfere in the internal affairs of the Boer Principality for the time being." Sanifensa shook her head and ordered, "At least for the moment, I don't want my cousin to have any misunderstandings."
"I understand. Next time I go to the Principality of Boer, I will pay more attention to this painter." Felimetta replied.
Sanifensa nodded, "Okay, please step back first. I have to take a bath and change my clothes."
Felimetta resigned.
Before Sanifanza entered the luxurious bathroom in the compartment, she took off her nightgown, picked up the red wine bottle that had fallen to the floor, and poured the remaining wine on herself. Her whole body seemed to be bathed in a rich purple Soaked in blood.
As for why she did this? The reason was that she found the smell of men's sweat on her body disgusting, and she didn't want to pollute the pool of bath water sprinkled with flower petals.
"Why did such a person appear?" Sanifensa murmured as she walked naked into the fragrant pool step by step.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
On the way from Zantz City to Lom Town.
Alvin took the lead and followed him with a dozen cavalrymen.
Naturally, these dozen or so people cannot be members of the Mengqi mercenary group. They are Shiba's confidants. After all, Meng Qi still has a size of two to three hundred people.
Early this morning, Alvin went to the tavern in Shiba. As soon as he entered the store, he glanced around the wary people and said lightly: "Follow me."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When Shiba saw Alvin arriving, he didn't hesitate and decisively called for everyone to follow him. Now that dignity has been put down, there is nothing to worry about. In the past two days, he had repeatedly thought about Alvin's words, "Believe me, this may be the wisest decision you have ever made in your life." In front of these words, he seemed to have lost any courage to resist.
On the other hand, when Alvin saw that everyone in the tavern was trying to follow him, he frowned, turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go in batches, and keep the noise low."
Shiba nodded, and after explaining a few words to his men, he led a dozen people to follow Alvin first.
It actually didn't take long to get to Lomu Town, and Alvin never said much to Shiba along the way.
After arriving in the town, Alvin had already seen notices recruiting members of the "Four Directions Mercenary Group" posted everywhere. However, there were only a few thousand people in this town, so how many could actually be recruited into the mercenary group? .
However, the queue of people coming to recruit is quite long, and it seems that the salary offered by Alvin is quite attractive.
Xia Ye and Lang Yun were working diligently to select people who met the standards. When they saw Alvin leading a group of people there, they welcomed him happily.
"Captain, are you here?" Xia Ye was smart enough to change his words as soon as he came up, instead of shouting "Your Highness, Your Highness".
"Yes." Alvin nodded, looking around behind Xia Ye and Lang Yun. He couldn't see anyone from Qiao Zhi, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is Qiao Zhi? Isn't he still up?"
"How can he have the courage?" Lang Yun said with a smile, "That kid is already waiting for you on the airship."
"Okay, you go about your business, I have other things to arrange." Alvin ordered Xia Ye, Langyun and the others, and then pointed at Shiba and the others behind him.
Xia Ye and Lang Yun nodded knowingly.
After Shiba's group met with Xia Ye Langyun, both sides secretly looked at each other.
Alvin just pretended not to see anything.
Then he led the troops to the back mountain behind the town. From a distance, he could see the empty shady place where the airship was parked on the mountainside.
Seeing Alvin dismounting from his saddle, "Brother!" Kui Qing was already waving her arms happily towards Alvin on the deck.
Qiao Zhi was also waiting on the deck.
Seeing a group of people following Alvin, it was natural for Kui Qing to take advantage of Alvin in public and rub into his arms.
"Little sister, let's discuss something here." After Alvin boarded the deck, he looked at Kui Qing and said.
"I got it. Brother Qiao Zhi and I are the only two people on this airship now." Kui Qing said with a wink.
Alvin smiled and nodded.
Shiba is not someone who has never seen the world. It looked fine from a distance just now, but once we boarded the deck, we marveled at how magnificent this airship was.
But none of his men had seen much of the world. As soon as they got on the deck, they looked left and right, looking around endlessly.
Kui Qing knew that her elder brother had something to discuss with these people, so she wisely retreated to the bedroom at the stern of the ship.
Shiba glanced at Alvin's face, coughed quickly, and drew everyone's attention back.
"I remember I said two days ago that you will be needed soon." Alvin said as he looked at the people gathered around. Qiao Zhi stood beside Alvin.
As he spoke, Alvin took out a roll of sheepskin map from his sleeve, spread it out in front of everyone, and then said leisurely: "There is a mission now."
"Just give your orders." Shiba immediately bowed and said.
Shiba's subordinates also became serious because their boss had set an example.
Alvin pointed to Tyrell City on a map, "I need you to rob the Red Wine Merchant Guild's fleet."
"It's... that simple?" Shiba looked at Alvin with a puzzled face, "Although the Chamber of Commerce's convoy is guarded by some guards, it is no match for us."
"It's not just one time, it's how many robberies there are. You will rob as many goods as they produce." Alvin looked at Shiba and said, "Bring all your brothers along with you."
Shiba looked worried, "But if this happens, they will soon send out a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us."
"Brother Qiao Zhi, I am extremely good at tracking and investigating.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Alvin said, patting Qiao Zhi on the shoulder, "As long as he is here, you can anticipate the enemy." It's up to you to decide whether to fight or withdraw. "
Shiba nodded, "Lord Alvin, I would like to ask, what is the purpose of doing this?" He naturally knew that Alvin could not be coveting the red wine.
"Yes, what, what?" Alvin suddenly smiled when he heard this, as if he was pondering the question seriously, "What is it?"
Then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "It's to make that old wine barrel think that you were hired by Count Oneyin to do this."
At this moment, Shiba suddenly realized and understood what Alvin was thinking.
"But you can't say this to others openly, you have to reveal it to him inadvertently, as if it makes sense for me not to let you lead your troops out of Zanc City with great fanfare. There are some things that you can't do too falsely. , no one will believe it, you have to make circumstantial considerations, like a trickle, and polish it bit by bit, so that people will believe it." Alvin said to everyone.
After hearing this, Shiba and the others were taught a lesson. Although they understand the principle, they still can't figure out how to implement it.
Alvin looked at Shiba's still somewhat confused expression, shook his head and sighed, and had no choice but to lean into his ear and give him some pointers.
After Shiba listened, he nodded repeatedly.
"When all your people are here, you can go directly to the Tilea City area." Elvin then ordered Shiba, "All the stolen goods belong to you, and I don't want a penny. And if this time If you do a good job, I will reward you with an additional ten thousand rupees."
Ten thousand rupees is quite a lot of money, and if it is spread evenly among people, there will be dozens of rounias.
"Now that Lord Alvin has recruited us, we will follow you wholeheartedly. Naturally, all the brothers will have a share in the stolen goods. As for the rewards, we brothers are not covetous of these. We will follow you." This is not what you are doing." Shiba's courageous subordinate stood up and said emotionally. What he meant by "all have a share" may be referring to the Sifang mercenary group that Xia Ye Langyun was still forming.
As soon as he said this, two or three others also followed suit. The rest of the people felt that it was a bit stupid to share out what they had grabbed, and still hold on to such a large bounty, so they expressed their dissent with silence.
When Shiba saw this situation, he was about to scold the leader, but Alvin stopped him with his eyes.
Alvin smiled inexplicably and walked up to this person, "I discovered it last time. You are quite interesting. What is your name?"
"Bai...Bai Kang." This man was quite courageous just now, but when he saw Alvin's sharp eyes, his aura instantly weakened a bit.
After all, everyone had seen Alvin's terrifying strength in the tavern a few days ago. The scene that drained the brains remained deeply in the minds of these people.
"Indeed, what you said makes sense." Alvin patted Bai Kang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since they are all brothers who follow me, there is no distinction between 'you' and 'us'. What I said just now It’s true that what I said was wrong.”
Bai Kang didn't expect Alvin to admit his mistake in public, and his wide eyes were full of surprise. He finally understood that Alvin was more than just a murderer, and a feeling of admiration suddenly arose in his heart.
Shiba also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really unsure of Alvin's temper, and was afraid that Bai Kang would be poisoned.
Then Alvin turned to look at Shiba, pointed at Bai Kang with his thumb, and praised with a smile: "Your subordinates are really good."
Shiba Na Na nodded in agreement.
"However, merits are rewarded and demerits are punished. This is also my method." Alvin glanced at everyone, "So, the rewards I just mentioned remain unchanged. Just rest assured and do your part." Just keep it within yourself.”
"Okay! Lord Alvin." Shiba led everyone and said in unison.
Then Alvin pulled Qiao Zhi aside and said, "You are the only martial artist here who specializes in assassination, so I want to train you to be different from Xia Ye Langyun and others."
Qiao Zhi nodded twice in understanding.
"Remember, your topic this time is how to collect intelligence on the battlefield, which is crucial for sneak attacks." Alvin stared at Qiao Zhi and said, "Also, please don't die."
