Do you still remember what I said, if you want to do well, you must first sharpen your tools.

That's when you really show your bravery, don't be impatient."

The next thing shouldn't be accidental, it should be an arrangement plan.Compared with letting Leah just be her own escort, it is better to let her continue training.

They don't have much time now, after all, no one knows if the pirates will suddenly convulsions.

"I got it.

I will adapt as soon as possible, and that..."

At the end of the words, Leah hesitated.

"That one…"

"Today...I want to eat fried shrimp."

Lucifer laughed subconsciously when she heard Leah's words.

"No problem, I will buy some personally when I come back."

Leaving the room, Lucifer walked down the steps, and he took the cloak that the knight handed him.

Walk towards the city hall with Gareth who has been waiting here.

Not long after, when Lucifer came here, he found that there were already five merchants standing in the hall, four men and one woman.

Drake is standing on the other side.

After seeing Lucifer coming, Drake immediately saluted, and the merchants slowed down.

Lucifer didn't care too much, after all, these people were not his subordinates, and maybe even many of them were not Britons.

Compared to several male businessmen, Lucifer's eyes were attracted by the women in front of her. She had some... pink long hair, a hat on her head, and her clothes looked a bit like Rose and Britain. Miss combo set.

The two styles not only did not conflict, but showed a strange melting on her body.It can only be said that she is very close to the clothes, not the clothes.

After a brief introduction, Lucifer also knew their names.

Karl, Geral, Ruth, Latif, and the last female Goyanskaya.

The moment he heard this name, Lucifer finally understood why this beauty was a little familiar.

Although I don't know how this crumb fox would appear here, at the moment business is tight, and Lucifer didn't go too far to look at her.

"I have known your request through Drake.

If you want to go to sea now, I will not stop it. After all, for your businessmen, time often means money.

I just want to remind you that the risk of going to sea is very high now, and it cannot be directly proportional to your return."

He looked at everyone and reminded.

"Dear King, we know.

It is precisely for this reason.

Five of us, representing the many businessmen in Edinburgh now, would like to ask you to send a fleet to **** us away."

The bearded Carl is dressed in white. This...British male businessman looks in his forties, and his tone is full of respect.

"My army is not a mercenary. You'd better figure this out."

Lucifer responded indifferently.

"Yes! We know, benevolent king, please protect this sea passage that I am waiting for.

Our goods have been backlogged here for a long time. If we don’t find time to sell, it may cause me to go bankrupt."

On the other hand, Ruth, an obese middle-aged man, also spoke.

At the same time, their expressions are very distressed.

"Money is more important than life"

Lucifer asked with interest.

"Your Majesty the Cavalier, I don't know if you have heard it before.

For me and other businessmen, money is life."

Gaoyanskaya opened the fan at this time and said timely.

Although he said that, Lucifer felt that the fox in front of him cared more than money as if he was himself.

"So you choose to ask for money but not life"

Lucifer asked rhetorically.

no.178 bait plan (please ask for votes, ask for customized)

In front of these guys, there are already some shadows of previous capitalists, and they typically want money but not life.

There is a joke that as long as the benefits are sufficient, they even dare to sell the rope used to hang themselves.

"Of course not, after all, if there is only money but no life, there is no place to use money.

Speaking of money, the five of us jointly discussed a proposal. We will provide a large sum of money to ensure the smooth passage of this time. I don’t know what your Majesty wants."

Goyanskaya told the countermeasures they had discussed in advance.

Although paying a large sum of money to Lucifer makes them very painful, it is better than being squeezed here like this.

However, faced with this seemingly profitable choice, Lucifer still chose to refuse.

"I just said that my army is not a mercenary."

The line between the army and the mercenary needs to be drawn clearly, and must not be crossed.

If you collect money here now, others will definitely follow suit.

In the end, the army may fail.

"This......"

Carl's expression is completely stuck there.

"That means there is no more to talk about."

Koyanskaya smiled easily, as if there was not much... lost.

Just when they thought the matter would end here, Lucifer spoke again at this time.

"The trouble you are facing now is pirates, and so are we.

At least on this point, our interests are the same.

I am curious how much you lose every year because of these pirates...property."

"we......"

Ruth thought for a while and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Lucifer.

"You don't need to answer, you can understand from the way you look, it will definitely not be a small number.

So I now have a proposal that can or can be done once and for all to solve the troubles caused by pirates in this sea area."

"Once and for all,"

Ruth was shocked instantly.

"Completely solve the trouble of pirates."

Carl was also a little surprised.

"Yes, completely solve the three fur seals outside."

Lucifer repeated her words again.

"What do we need to do? You just said that you don't need money. I'm very curious about what we need to pay."

Koyanskaya's smile at this time became a bit like a fox.

"It's very simple. After that, I will have a battle plan against pirates. I need you to sail along the route I specify, as bait to attract the pirates, and then let my army annihilate them."

Lucifer simply stated his plan.

This is generally true, but there may be many details in actual implementation.

"Bait..."

"How much money will we lose"

"If you cooperate, the loss can be minimized, and it must be much less than the money you just wanted to pay."

Faced with the questions of the two male businessmen, Lucifer did not make a definite guarantee, but said the best result.

This result instantly allowed them to solve the troubles of pirates in one fell swoop, and the cost was even less, and they were of course willing.

"we agree!"

"Correct!"

"agree!"

Seeing this, Lucifer started to tell the worst result.

"Listen to me first, but if you don't cooperate and cause huge losses and even affect my soldiers, then the consequences will not be something that can be solved by paying money."

With this order of good and bad, these businessmen will subconsciously have a fluke mentality.

This is more acceptable to them than being bad first and then good.

"Hey! Can I simply understand that we are now forced to be included under your command for the time being"

Goyanskaya was... seeing the problem, she said so.

"No.

You are not my subordinates, but also good citizens who obey the law in this land.

Therefore, I will not force you to do what, whether to choose or not, the decision is yours."

Lucifer said calmly.

Even if they refuse, they have other ways.

But these people have no other choice.Now they take the initiative to ask for themselves, and the initiative is in themselves.

If they don't want to choose, then the final consequences can only be borne by them.

Of course, for... these... businessmen who believe that time is money, this choice is actually doomed from the beginning.

"Great King, I wonder if we can discuss it for a while..."

Carl hesitated to ask Lucifer for instructions.

"no problem.

Drake, take them to the side hall, you have an hour to consider.

For those of you whose time means money, you don’t want to waste too much money.”

Lucifer applied Koyanskaya's previous words to them at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Drake took them to the side hall, where they will discuss how to agree to Lucifer's proposal.

In fact, there were not many choices in this question from the beginning, even though Lucifer gave the choice.

But whether it is in terms of benefits or benefits, they cannot refuse.

While waiting, Lucifer took the book and read it.

The cover of the book reads "Pillow Grass".

You can still see familiar books in this world, and Lucifer subconsciously has a feeling of nostalgia.

When shopping with Leah before, he saw some books in the bookstore, so he bought one.

I originally searched for The Tale of Genji, but unfortunately I didn't find it.

Of course, it is naturally much better than a bunch of cheating knight novels.

In fact, I have paid special attention to Shakespeare before, but this...theatrical writer seems to have not made a lot of progress at present, and only wrote a ‘famous drama’, which has not been sought after, and it can be said that the income is dismal.
