Chapter 241 Gatherings and big business of nobles
(Thanks to "whiskycoke" for the generous gift of [-], the update was delayed until noon because my schedule has changed, and it will be updated during the day in the future)
Cheng Mo and Li Jiting stood in front of a not-so-spacious arch, behind them was a magnificent and deep corridor, crystal wall lamps and colorful oil paintings extended into a tunnel leading to history, but obviously, this is not the main entrance .

Cheng Mo followed Li Jiting's line of sight and looked over. In the center of the luxurious palace composed of white jade, gold leaf and crystal lamps, stood a young man with wavy hair similar to Li Jiting's, with strong limbs, a handsome face, and serious and decent attire. , making him look like a proud lion.

"Napoleon VII?" Cheng Mo said in surprise.

"You know him?" Li Jiting was even more surprised, he didn't turn his head to look at Cheng Mo, his eyes searched the hall of Diaolianghuadong, and the corners of his lips moved slightly.

Cheng Mo shook his head slightly, "It's not counted as acquaintance, but I just met once in France. At that time, he and his sister came to look for senior sister, and I was there."

"I see."

Li Jiting led Cheng Mo into the hall, and the waiters standing at the door, wearing white shirts, black vests and bow ties, bowed slightly to them. The golden lights complemented the ladies' fair skin and bright jewels, and they wore black tuxedos and Tashi Men with many dresses are dotted among them, making the luxury and beauty not lacking in seriousness, and all the European classical glitz is blowing.

The huge mural on the dome is Michelangelo's "Last Judgment". Except for this huge colorful dome mural, the entire hall has only two colors, gold and white, surrounded by pure white marble and golden Corinthian stone columns; Crystal chandeliers that exude golden light hang one after another, as if they are within reach; the floor is made of diamond-shaped beige and white marble, and the long table is covered with white tablecloths, golden candlesticks, fruits and Tudors. The style of barbecue made Cheng Mo feel like he was in a royal banquet in the [-]th century.

Li Jiting led Cheng Mo to walk along the edge of the hall. Although the two Orientals were very eye-catching, no one cast a surprised look. Only the group of people in the center of the hall is the focus of everyone's attention.

The two stopped by the floor-to-ceiling windows at the edge of the hall where no one was paying attention. Outside the white wooden lattice windows was a courtyard covered with green grass. Li Jiting stood leaning against the wall easily, while Cheng Mo stood as straight as a javelin.

Li Jiting looked at Napoleon VII in the distance and whispered to Cheng Mo: "The relationship between Poland and the Napoleon family has always been very close, and the Polish Legion has always been the most loyal to Napoleon's legion. The Countess gave birth to the most outstanding son for Napoleon, and followed Napoleon to the land of exile when Napoleon was most in danger. Unfortunately, she never got the title of Queen of France, but this did not damage the relationship between the two, nor did it damage Poland's love for Napoleon. respect."

"The French can indeed be regarded as the benefactors of the Poles. After Napoleon and World War I, it was France who advocated the restoration of Poland's independence. Of course, for the French, Poland, which survived between Russia and Germany, is an indispensable ally. "

"You see, you are such a realistic person. I am talking about the love between Napoleon and the Polish lady, and you are discussing geopolitics with me."

"Love? Wasn't Countess Walewska forced to commit herself to Napoleon I by the Polish nobles in the name of the country and nation?"

Li Jiting took two glasses of champagne from the tray carried by the waiter in a black vest, and handed a glass to Cheng Mo, "Maybe it's just that the crowd glanced at you more, maybe it's just that they passed a tissue when they were crying, maybe it's We bumped into each other at a corner, maybe it was a quarrel caused by a misunderstanding, there are many reasons for love, but does it matter what the cause is?"

"Uncle Li, I think it's disrespectful for a person who has never been in love to talk about love with a person who is in love every day. So, let's talk about tasks!" Cheng Mo took the tulip-shaped champagne goblet, Said lightly.

Li Jiting smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe in your opinion, feelings are a kind of burden, a bondage of freedom, it oppresses us, wants us to bow our heads and submit, and even makes us bend our knees and kneel on the ground, But for a man, society, career, family, and self are all important. The heavier the burden, the higher the value. This is also the image of a strong vitality. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives are to the earth. Your own existence is more real. And when your burden completely disappears and you are completely free, then you will become lighter than air, and you will float upwards, away from all things and sentient beings. We humans are half-real Existence, yourself and the self in the eyes of others, piece together a complete self. When you don’t care about other people’s eyes at all, the meaning of your own existence will be lost, and any action will lose its meaning because you are too self-conscious.”

Li Jiting raised his glass to Cheng Mo, "So, how should I choose? Is it heavy or light?"

Cheng Mo responded blankly: "For you, changing a different female partner every day is a heavy burden or a pursuit of freedom?"

"Haha! I'm not like you, my mood bar is not gray."

Cheng Mo took a sip of champagne and asked, "What's the use of the mood bar, and what does it have to do with feelings?"

"This has nothing to do with you for the time being, and it's not appropriate to discuss it here. Let's talk about your mission first!"

Cheng Mo nodded, and together with Li Jiting, looked at the young people standing in the center of the hall, surrounded by stars.

"The brown short-haired man standing opposite Prince Napoleon is the heir of the Piast family (Note 1), Kazimia IX, and the handsome man with a hook nose next to Kazimia IX is Karl Constantine Von Habsburg is right, he is a descendant of the famous Habsburg family (Note 2), his father is George von Habsburg, Grand Duke of Hungary, Hungarian Tour Ambassador, Knight of the Golden Fleece. The handsome blond guy standing next to Prince Napoleon is Prince Heinrich Ludwig Sain Wettingenstein, and he is the Heinrich Z. Schayen Wetting who wanted to shoot Hitler A descendant of Prince Genstein."

Li Jiting introduced a group of key figures in the central government like a few treasures. There is no doubt that any one of their ancestors will be a big figure who shakes Europe.

"The influence of these families is far less than in the past on the bright side, but in fact their influence has shifted from the surface world to the inner world, controlling the development of human history in the shadows. Don't doubt, our world is made up of Controlled by the secret society network composed of elites, these secret society networks are intertwined and colluded like spider webs. The closer to the center of the spider web, the more you can see the figures of big families with special blood, including the royal family, Western politicians, top Regal. They are a family known as the Illuminati bloodline. The core members include the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, and the royal families of European countries, etc. Radiating from the spider web, it is the Freemasonry, Skull and Bones , the Peterberg Group, the Bohemian Club, the Rosicrucian Order, the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, etc. On the outer edges of this spider web are the various international organizations known to the public: the Trilateral Commission, the Diplomatic Associations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization”

"This really sounds like a piece of conspiracy theory street literature."

"Hmm! Yes, you're now also part of the conspiracy theory because you're at a party that's mostly Rosicrucians."

"To be honest, I'm not interested in socializing at all. I'd rather you teach me to go into the inner world to get some unlimited missions than to deal with these nobles. Besides, I'm a scholar's son and these distinguished sons of blood. If you can’t hit one side, how do you get to know each other? What’s the point if you get to know each other?”

"I didn't call you here to socialize and become the darling of the upper class. Don't underestimate yourself. Most of the people here have carriers. Your carrier has two S-level skills and one triple-A skill. These nobles standing in the middle are too far behind, as an unorganized stalker, you are the target of anyone's wooing."

"Hmm! It's also the fish on the chopping board, and it's what they covet."

"Hey! Hey! Let me ask you, kid, can you relax your tense nerves a little bit. There is a great god covering you here, and you are always in fear." Li Jiting said with an exaggerated expression.

Cheng Mo was noncommittal to Li Jiting's self-proclaimed great god. This senior, his father's friend, had no sense of security for him at all, even more unreliable than Bai Xiuxiu, but at the moment he had no better choice, so he could only remain expressionless. Q: "Okay! Just to get to know Napoleon VII?"

"You find a way to get in touch first, and I will give you instructions later. Let's form a team first, and use the team communication to communicate later."

Cheng Mo immediately received the application for forming a team, and the sender was "King of Lanling", which was undoubtedly Li Jiting's carrier ID. After Cheng Mo accepted it, he used the team communication to say: "At least you have to give me some information, Let me know what exactly we're doing?"

The communication within the team after forming a team is like voice transmission in martial arts novels. Cheng Mo only needs to use his consciousness to input what he wants to say on the team channel, and Li Jiting can receive it.

"Do you know why Napoleon VII went to Poland, a place with a huge church power?"

Cheng Mo didn't answer, of course he didn't know.

Li Jiting did not intend to let Cheng Mo guess, and said directly: "Because the Napoleon family lost a precious Ouroboros watch called 'Cross Bee', this one is one of the two watches left by Napoleon I, although It is not as precious as the 'Iris Bee' Ouroboros watch, which is exclusive to the heirs of the family in the hands of Napoleon VII, but the 'Cross Bee' also has an SSS-level skill, an SS skill, two S skills, and four AAA-level skills. Now all Carrier owners from all over the world are converging to Europe in order to find the whereabouts of this watch, do you think we can miss this kind of thing?"

"Uncle Li, to be honest, I don't think this kind of thing is worth participating in. It's better to do something meaningful in a down-to-earth manner. It is more realistic to fight steadily and gradually upgrade. In this kind of competition, both luck and strength are needed. I feel like I don’t have either of those things.”

"It doesn't matter, you have me as a master! Besides, how do you know if you don't try? What if you get lucky?"

If the intra-team communication could use consciousness to send expressions, Cheng Mo would definitely send a big joke, but since Li Jiting has already made a decision, Cheng Mo can't say anything more, so he can only say: "But what's the point of me getting close to him?" Meaning? Could it be that you still expect me to get something out of his mouth?"

"Of course not. In fact, I got a tip that the loss of the Crossbee has nothing to do with the Holy See. Although Napoleon VII's father Charles is now cooperating with the Holy See, the Holy See has no knowledge of Charles' death and the loss of the Crossbee. I I was investigating this matter in Rome a few days ago.”

"His father...is dead?"

"The relationship between the two fathers and sons is not harmonious at all. In order to regain control of the Barnabas family, Charles Marie Jerome Victor Napoleon did a lot of hard work on Napoleon VII Christophe. "

"Then what can I do?"

"I have reliable news here. In fact, the death of Charles, the father of Napoleon VII, is related to a Russian named Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov. This person is Shirkov Descendants of the family, the Shirkov family is a declining nobleman in Russia. In the early years, Grand Duke Shirkov was an official sent by Russia to China to be responsible for the construction of the Far East. Grand Duke Shirkov lived in Harbin for a long time. Time, there are actually descendants left in our country. Your task is to sell this news to Napoleon VII at a good price and establish a good relationship with him.”

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment, the sudden change of things was beyond his expectation, he couldn't understand why Li Jiting asked him to do such an important job as a rookie, maybe it was because he was still in the novice protection period?But from the various forces involved in this matter, we know that it is an earth-shattering event. He is a small person who is only a first-level person. The risk of participating in it is too great. It is a trivial matter if the carrier is hung up. up.

So Cheng Mo shook his head and said: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability to complete this task. If you think I'm muddy and can't support the wall, then I can't help it. I am not born to do big things. For me A long life, a little wealth and peace is the ideal of life.”

"Huh? Do you know how much we can benefit from?"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I won't do it no matter how profitable it is. I'll go back first, and I plan to go back to Huaxia tomorrow." Said Wanmo put the champagne glass on the tray of the waiter who just passed by, turned around and walked towards them to the door.

Li Jiting didn't stop Chengmo either, but just said in the team channel: "Are you sure? Do you want the 'source of power' to protect the heart?"

"Life is more important."

"Generally speaking, it takes at least three to five years for a carrier to go from level one to level fifteen. It takes another seven to ten years to reach level 33, adding up to ten to 15 years. You need to reach level 33 You can point your skills to enhance the main body, do you think you have time to slowly increase the level?"

Cheng Mo stopped in his tracks.

"It's impossible for me to lie to you about this. You can find it by going to the Chosen Forum."

"Uncle Li, you mean to assume that I can get a lot of experience points after completing this mission?"

"If it goes well, you can at least upgrade to eleven levels. In addition, if the 'Cross Bee' really falls into our hands, the benefits will be against the sky."

Cheng Mo stood on the spot and weighed it for a while, then walked to Li Jiting's side again, looked at Li Jiting's smiling face, and asked with a serious expression on his face, "Why me?"

Li Jiting slapped Cheng Mo on the head with a chestnut, "Because I am your master, you are a traitor who doesn't respect his master at all and wants to bargain with his master. It's really a waste of my good intentions."

This time, Cheng Mo still couldn't react, and Li Jiting directly tapped his forehead on the same position as last time, "Can I know a little more specific information? For example, how did you know this news, or how can I What won the trust of Napoleon VII?"
