Chapter 1385: 19: The Empire Envoy's Festival
Chapter 1385 Chapter 19. Empire Envoys
"What a good ship."
Annan stood in front of the window on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the giant warship that appeared in the port, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared with him, the ships around him were like a group of ants scrambling into a lee, which was amazingly large.
If there was such a warship in Liberty City, there would be no need to worry about the storm blew up in the Strait of Obiris.
But shipbuilding is not in the Liberty City's top priority plan. As for buying one from the Empire... Annan doesn't feel that his face is so great.
He was very curious. The Empire sent a warship to Liberty City in a swagger. What was the case?
"…This battleship is the Broken Law, one of the top ten dreadnoughts, carrying officials from the Imperial Finance Department."
When Annan came to Olmedo's office, Losi was reporting the information.
"Dreadnought?"
"Well, it's equivalent to a mage tower on the sea... a dreadnought can destroy a country."
"I don't believe it."
Annan has his opinion: "If it weren't for the deep digging of the Freeport, he would have been stranded as soon as he entered the bay. What should he do to eliminate it?"
Olmedo did not argue and said seriously: "As the Empire did not normally send warships to demonstrate, there was no notice in advance, and I was worried that they would be bad."
You should know that before, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette either took the imperial official ship or teleported over.
Driving the warship to the doorsteps of other territories also represents provocation - that is, Annan's nerve did not notice.
"Is it possible that Qiong'an's fake imperial princess was discovered?" Annan thought.
Olmedo replied: "I don't think the Ministry of Finance is responsible for this."
"That's right...where are they now?"
"Just logging in the port, I am rushing to the city lord's mansion."
Olmedo thought for a while: "Annan, the empire's intention is unknown, I will negotiate with them first."
Annan, who was about to get up, heard this and sat back.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
...
Dadadadadadadada—
The moment the heavy leather boots stepped onto the pier, the noise of the port solidified, leaving only a uniform muffled sound.
The tourists and workers at the port stopped and their eyes followed the black-armored soldiers, and finally landed on the front row of the team, wearing gray cloaks and holding envoys' scepters.
He wore the badge of the Imperial Two-Headed Lion on his chest to tell his identity.
Facing the awe and curiosity, they walked out of the port and headed straight to the city lord's mansion along the street.
Olmedo, who was waiting at the gate of the city lord's mansion, swept over these innocent faces and said politely: "On behalf of Liberty City, I welcome the empire friends who come from afar."
"Friend? Hum..."
The official snorted, but did not refute, and raised his head slightly and said, "I am Yud, Director of the Imperial Finance Department."
"Director Youde, please come in."
Twenty-four black-armored guards remained outside, and Director Yoder and a clerk followed Olmedo to the living room.
On the other side, Annan stayed in the garden to accompany the princess.
She stayed under the tree of Another World for so long, and there was no sign of improvement.
The Another World Tree did not recall her soul. Maybe the princess liked to stay here because her instinct made her feel comfortable.
Send the princess to the next to the temple fragments to try your luck?
While Annan was thinking, the maid Abby found herself and brought news of a failure in the negotiation.
The director from the empire coveted the depository of the depository—it was different from Annan’s guess.
He and Olmedo have the same idea in this regard: it is not impossible to give up some benefits to the empire, it can not only have a closer relationship with the empire, but also to repay the help of our ancestors.
But unexpectedly, the director of the department spoke out and asked the Free City to transfer all the depositary facilities in the empire.
"He really said that?"
The maid Abby said carefully, "Well, Lord Olmedo seems to be angry."
"I know, I'll live now... no." Annan changed his words, "Let them come to see me."
As a lord, Annan's status was obviously higher than that of the chief—even the chief of the empire.
It’s just that few people dare to put aristocratic airs in front of imperial officials, because the Empire will really charge you with offense and drag you out of the castle that you think is strong.
Annan did this... Director Youde really had no choice but to do anything to him.
With a bad look, Director Youde came to the lounge.
Annan sat on the sofa with his back against the window, and the morning light sprinkled in from behind him, as if it was covered in hazy light.
"Director Youde, please repeat what you said to my deputy city lord."
Annan was lazy and authentic, playing with a crystal in his hand, refracting gorgeous colors in the sun.
Of course, Yude knew what that was, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Although the Broken Law is powerful, it is much worse than the "Six-winged Angel Crystal"...
"Lord Annan City, I think you misunderstood. I am not hostile."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Annan's hand stopped: "So you haven't said you want a depository?"
"I am just an official and I am on order."
"Do you represent the Empire? Or that Emperor?"
"Behind me is the Montreal Gold Family."
Dang--
The summoning crystal suddenly rolled down from Annan's hand, falling on the carpet as if it was on Youde's heart.
"Oh, sorry."
Annan lowered his head and picked up the summoning crystal and continued to play: "I understand, you can only represent yourself..."
Youde waved his hand at this time and asked the document to go out.
"Prince Ig Stephens is very interested in your savings. If you are willing to hand over ownership in the empire... you will get the recognition of Prince Ig Stephens."
Annan thought about it and confirmed that the name was not among the people around his ancestors.
It is known that the ancestors stand on the side of the emperor and are the core of the Golden Family, so Prince Igstefans who suddenly emerged...
"Does this prince want to usurp the throne?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
The poor director, who was choked by Annan's rebellious words, coughed violently, and his face became redder and redder.
Except for being almost choked to death, Youde got nothing from Annan.
Leave a sentence "You can think about it", Youde left the city lord's mansion.
As soon as he left, Annan opened the portal and asked his ancestor to complain.
"knew."
After listening with a blank expression on his face, Ou Lin got up and walked out of the study.
She was unaware of it, which means that Prince Ig Stephens was likely to have acted privately.
It seems that the temptation of the gold depository is indeed great, and even the Montreal gold family can't sit still.
Annan waited patiently, and the Broken Law was parked in Freeport and did not leave.
The next day, Losi reported that someone was coming down from the warship, and he was still Annan's old acquaintance - Minister Oli.
"Minister Oli, I'm very happy to see that you are getting stronger."
Minister Oli, who was ordered to come over in danger, had a cold face: "I'm not happy at all when I see you jumping around."
Annan didn't care about Minister Oli's attitude: "Where is our Director Yud?"
"I was taken back to Mount Montreal for being punished for contacting you without permission."
