Chapter 772 Crossing the Sea, Treaty, Valkyrie

Sitting in the car.

The driver and the two passengers were very quiet.

Melusina handled official business very efficiently.

Even though she came here, she did not abandon the company. She worked remotely and her efficiency was not affected.

After seeing her stop, Bai Yu asked: "Sister Shirley, are you going to Longdong with me?"

Melusina smiled and said: "Of course, Grandpa is still missing in Longdong, and as the president of Donghuang Group, I can't be absent for such a big event as the Queen's birthday."

"What about the company's business?"

"This business trip will only take a week. I have arranged the company's work in advance. Don't worry, it won't be messed up." Melusina turned the pen with her fingers: "Besides, the company has just completed the first wave of registrations, and the liquidity crisis has been resolved. Next, it can be handed over to various departments to operate...Usually the busiest time is the quarterly financial report settlement. Now the second quarter has just started. Even if I give myself a month's vacation, it will be fine."

It seems that it has been arranged long ago.

Sister Shirley really wants to go out with me.

Bai Yu naturally didn't care about it.

It was just that Melusina's next words aroused some interest in him: "I'm going to meet a few people later."

She reached out and stroked Bai Yu's collar: "Remember to be polite."

While stroking, Melusina's eyes suddenly became deep and ethereal, as if she had become sickly.

But the next moment she returned to normal, pretending that nothing had happened, just smiled slightly and continued to work in the car.

Bai Yu didn't understand why, and soon his attention was attracted by the private chat message, and he didn't pay attention to this side.

Melusina's fingers holding the pen turned white. She thought she could control it well, but she couldn't help it.

Just now, from the gap in the collar, she saw the strawberry mark left between Bai Yu's neck and shoulder.

It was easy to think of what happened last night, and the mood suddenly became very bad, and the temperature in the car dropped by several degrees.

...

Arrived at the port of Rome again.

Bai Yu saw a familiar figure, no, a ghost.

Ghost Captain Edward.

When he met, he complained and used pirate swear words.

"I really thought you were going to stand me up!!"

"It happened suddenly, and there was an accident." Bai Yu shrugged: "Anyway, the deal with Nelson has been concluded, right?"

"This is all thanks to the person next to you." Captain Edward's empty eyes aimed at Melusina: "She is one of the few people who can suppress Nelson in terms of momentum. Hehe, it also made me see an interesting scene."

"You are flattering." Melusina said modestly: "Business is business. Since it is a business, following the spirit of the contract is the foundation."

After a few pleasantries, Edward sent the two on board.

There were other guests on the deck of the ship. Seeing the ghost captain's polite attitude, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Rome and Midwinter are separated by a strait, which is equivalent to being separated by a dead tide.

They have been traveling back and forth for a long time, and it is not only ghost ships that can cross.

But the ghost ship is safe, and this short-term journey can also quickly earn foreign exchange, which is a sure-win business for Edward.

In addition, the birth of the Queen is getting closer and closer, and the Midwinter Ceremony is being prepared in full swing. A lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources are pouring into Midwinter, and Edward is also taking the opportunity to make money.

The people on the ship at the scene are all rich or noble. Those who can be escorted by Edward personally must have a high status.

Melusina was quickly recognized as the president of Donghuang, and many people took the initiative to greet her.

The originally deserted deck suddenly became a social venue for wealthy businessmen and nobles.

After the greetings, Bai Yu gave Edward a look, and the latter immediately understood and took the initiative to go out and send the two to the bedroom.

It only takes an hour to cross this strait, so there is naturally no need to stay overnight.

Bai Yu was very curious: "Sister Shirley, what did you talk about with Nelson?"

Melusina raised the corner of her lips: "I knew you would ask this."

She took out a contract and put it down.

When he took it and looked at it, Bai Yu was stunned. Why does this look like an unequal treaty?

His initial idea was to hand over the Sun That Never Sets to Nelson and transfer it to Queen Midwinter in exchange for the noble title promised by the other party, and at the same time obtain the merchant qualification recognized by the royal family.

But now this contract is completely different.

The Sun That Never Sets was not transferred, but Nelson agreed to all the following conditions.

1. Agree with Donghuang Group to enter the Midwinter market in the Council of Nobles; 2. The Ghost Fleet regards Donghuang as a priority partner; 3. Nelson's fleet is obliged to escort key figures between the East and the West...

"How did you do it?" Bai Yu was puzzled.

"It's very simple. Nelson is a soldier who attaches great importance to reputation and is very loyal. He is loyal to Victoria and is willing to pay a lot to protect the honor of the Queen." Melusina analyzed calmly, exuding a cold merchant atmosphere: "I just need to make him believe that I am different from you. As a Roman, if I don't pay enough benefits, I will never present the Sun That Never Sets as a birthday gift."

"Isn't this..." Bai Yu thought of the saying "A gentleman can be deceived by his own way."

"No business is without fraud." Melusina didn't care about reputation. Compared with interests, the intrigues in the business world were not worth mentioning.

"You didn't offend Nelson by doing this?"

"It doesn't matter. He can't thank me enough." Melusina smiled and said, "After all, the Sun That Never Sets is here..."

"Speaking of which, you didn't give the Sun That Never Sets to Nelson. Where is that thing?" Bai Yu looked at Melusina and didn't think she left it with her.

"This..." Melusina was about to explain.

A figure pushed the door in at the right time.

Bai Yu looked sideways and saw a figure directly dribbling the ball and hitting someone.

He could react, but someone was one step faster than him and grabbed the collar directly.

The girl who tried to pounce on him was frozen in mid-air, her legs fluttering.

Just this one hand made people feel that the owner of that hand was extraordinary.

Because people are not cats, and collars are not the soft flesh of cats.

Clothes will be torn, and a single piece of clothing is not enough to support weight.

If you can lift a person up by just two fingers by the collar without damaging the clothes, then it is definitely not pure brute force.

Cordelia tried to move but found that she was motionless. She heard the exhortation of "please respect yourself" from behind, so she had to stand at attention.

She coughed lightly, waved slightly at Bai Yu, and only moved her wrist: "Long time no see."

Her eyes were madly suggesting "I want a hug, I want a kiss, I want to lift you up high."

Cordelia actually got on the boat.

Bai Yu was quite surprised: "Long time no see... Aren't you receiving saint training?"

"It's over." Cordelia said stubbornly.

"It's not over." Another voice sounded behind her: "It's just because this matter is related to her, and the Holy Church also needs this reputation, so she was sent to the midwinter to attend Victoria's birthday."

The voice was a little cold, and the voice was like the tinkling sound of an ice cone hitting the ice surface, which was pleasant and even too crisp.

After hearing this, Melusina stood up and took the initiative to bow to the second woman who stepped into the door.

"Your Majesty the Saint."

All the saints in Rome were canonized without exception.

The one in front of him was one of the canonized saints.

This was the first time Bai Yu saw her, and he saluted with his fists: "Meet Your Excellency the Canonized Saint."

The woman walked into the room and released the fingers that controlled Cordelia. Her whole body exuded a cool breath. She was covered in a white robe. After raising her hand to take off her hood, she revealed a melon-shaped face with long ice-blue hair and ice-blue eyes.

This kind of appearance can be seen at a glance in the eyes of most Romans.

Cordelia was afraid that Bai Yu didn't know that he had made a fool of himself, so she took the initiative to run to his side, holding one hand and introducing intimately: "This is Ludmila Haines Goodsee."

Bai Yu actually knew her.

She was born in a prominent family, and her father was one of the four grand dukes of Rome.

When she was canonized, it caused a wonder of thousands of miles of snow falling, and she was praised as the Ice-Clean Valkyrie.

Since he is a saint, he is naturally not young. He looks young, but he is actually over 60 years old... He is from the same era as Bai Potian.

"Well, you are welcome. Strictly speaking, I took advantage of you." Lyudmila said, reaching her right hand into her white robe and taking out the red gem "The Sun That Never Sets".

Bai Yu was surprised for a few seconds. Why is the thing here with the saint?

"After I knew about the Sun That Never Sets, I was worried that I couldn't keep it, so I contacted Cordelia. It happened that Her Majesty Lyudmila was also present. She was also interested in the Sun That Never Sets, so we proposed that she keep it and meet on the ship when we need to return it." Melusina explained briefly.

Through this superficial explanation, we can see many calculations hidden under the water.

It is obvious that the treaty owed by Nelson is probably also endorsed by the credit of the saint as a catalyst.

Melusina has involved the church and the saints. Don't you think it's a bit big?

Bai Yu was secretly shocked.

He didn't know that Melusina had set up such a big game just to meet Victoria, hoping to find Bai Yu, who had disappeared with the Dragon Mother, through the Queen's vision beyond the times.

With his return, there was no need to use this game again.

Melusina didn't want to make a big fuss on the Queen's birthday. She didn't care about anything before. Now that her brother is back, she naturally wants to be safe and stable.

Bai Yu looked at Lyudmila again: "So, Your Excellency Fengsheng came here to deliver something?"

"You don't have to address me so strangely. Bai Potian and I have some friendship. You can just call me Aunt Liu." The Valkyrie's attitude was peaceful, but it was still oppressive with that cold face.

After she sat down, she said: "I came here this time to protect Cordelia's safety. She is an honorary saint. This time, I will accompany you to present the Sun That Never Sets as a birthday gift to Queen Victoria. This is a big event in Rome, and I must go there."

Bai Yu nodded to show his understanding.

Melusina calmly held Bai Yu's hand and said, "We siblings will also ask Aunt Liu to take good care of us."

"Don't worry, the time you have been keeping the Sun from setting will be of great benefit to me. I will remember this favor." Lyudmila said frankly.

"At the same time, I have some news."

Bai Yu saw that the canonized saint was so humble, and he also relaxed some of his superficial respect.

"Please speak frankly."

The Valkyrie placed the Sun That Never Sets on the table and drew a circle in the center of the table with her finger.

A layer of ice circle formed by condensed white frost appeared on the square table.

"Have you heard of the Knights of the Round Table?"
