Bulwark of Light

Chapter 814 Sellers
"A total of 120 extraordinary people left the city for this outing."

"The high-wall patrol team assembled by neutrals currently has four hundred low-level transcendents."

Chen was not in charge of the operation scheduling of this hunting mission.

Most of the extraordinary people who went south to support this time came from the metropolitan area and belonged to the Sincere Society. Chen Mei had a very high prestige in the metropolitan area. In this kind of matter, no one could compare with him except Song Ci.

The final hunting lineup was finalized, and Su Cha and Qi Palm went out of the city with Gu Shen white sleeves.

He took his second and fourth children to sit guarding the South Cave to prevent accidents.

This time, "Dongzhou" was mainly responsible for the main force of the hunting.

The "patrols" assembled by the neutrals are mainly low-level transcendents - the transcendent realm of the local residents of Sangzhou Grottoes generally only ranges from one to three floors in the deep water area, and the Church of Storms in the rear is even more unreliable.

After the characters were assembled, Gu Shen made a detailed grouping plan.

According to the "combat organization" established by the Dongzhou Judgment Institute, six people form a small team. During this mission to the south, there are also fighters from the tribunal, prison, and command post sent by Nagano. These people are familiar with the combat system of the three institutes. A higher level of command... During the Frozen Lake mission not long ago, Nagano's encirclement and suppression team used this combat system to defeat and annihilate [Snow Cage] criminals.

……

……

"Master Yuan, good morning."

Outside the high wall of S12 area, the energy boat was hovering over the wilderness. Yuan Shuocheng had a complicated expression on his face. He looked outside the red and silver glass and saw a black-clothed figure stepping on a flying sword, hovering on the side of the airship, almost level with himself. .

"Gu Shen?"

If I remember correctly, Gu Shen should be a psychic transcendent... Is this guy's "hanging" phenomenon the ability to control objects of the psychic department?
"It's time to go."

Gu Shen stepped on the iron sword, with a calm expression, and sent a message in spirit: "How did you sleep last night?"

Yuan Shuocheng chuckled.

How did you sleep?This kid still has the face to ask!

He is a noble fourth rank, so he doesn't need to sleep for a long time, but after the meeting last night, he looked at the high wall in front of him, and he held his breath... Holy City didn't plan to really contribute to this mission.

The authority given to the Archbishop by the Saint of Gadi is very loose.

Gu Shen neglected him so much, he naturally wanted to return it.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your concern."

Yuan Shuocheng squeezed out a sincere smile, and said slowly: "I don't know why, maybe it's because the climate is not acclimatized, and many congregants feel 'uncomfortable', this time the church is mainly to support the rear... Now that Dongzhou is ready, we will Let's clear the way first, and we will follow soon."

The most disgusting way is to procrastinate.

You want me to go.

I don't want to, I just want to procrastinate!
Gu Shen saw it in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Bishop Yuan, are you sure you want to leave?"

Yuan Shuocheng smiled: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't..."

"In the 625th year of the new calendar, under your connection, the Holy City Church and the Central City completed the first transaction. They bought four energy boats at a total cost of 12 billion."

"In the 626th year of the new calendar, the second transaction, a large energy boat, cost 35 billion."

"Since then, the transactions have continued... All the saints in the church have found you and bought the 'energy boat' with Central City."

Gu Shen slowly transmitted the sound.

Yuan Shuocheng's expression changed subtly.

"Relying on the solid partnership with Central City, your status within the Church of Storms has risen, and finally, step by step, you have reached the position of 'archbishop'."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Am I right?"

"I don't understand what you mean..." Yuan Shuocheng lowered his voice, and said coldly: "What I, Yuan, did is not a secret. The transaction on behalf of the Holy City and the Central City is the trust of Lord Saint. , is also recognized by Lord God!"

"Yes."

Gu Shen said lightly: "So what I just said is all public information that can be found in [Deep Sea]... Buying and selling energy boats is not a trivial matter, it needs special approval from the Privy Council of the Central City. Make a transaction. Of course, this requires the Queen's nod, such a major transaction is vigorous, and it is naturally news that the whole world knows."

"..."

Yuan Shuocheng was silent for a few seconds, narrowed his eyes, and asked bluntly, "So what do you want to say?"

"For the first transaction, the actual payment is 11 billion."

Gu Shendao: "The second transaction, 32 billion. The third time..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!!!"

Yuan Shuocheng's pupils shrank suddenly. Although it was a spiritual message, he interrupted Gu Shen in horror when he heard the string of numbers. He looked at the young man flying with a sword beside him.

The deal between myself and Central City is a secret among secrets!
How did Gu Shen know about this kind of thing? !

As he wished, Gu Shen stopped his voice.

He said lightly: "Bishop Yuan, are you scared? Don't worry, it was a spiritual message just now, and you won't be seen by [Deep Sea], but after that, you won't be sure..."

"Gu Shen!"

Yuan Shuocheng had bulging veins on his forehead.

Seeing Gu Shen's indifferent eyes, he quickly suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and asked word by word: "Don't spread the word, do you know what kind of impact this kind of thing will have?"

"Oh?"

Gu Shen rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "It shouldn't have any effect. The Holy City will eradicate a traitor who 'eats from the inside out. Light the sky lantern and burn it for three days and three nights... well, you are so fat, it may take seven days and seven nights to burn it."

"???"

"As for me, the Church of the Storm should give me a pennant?" Gu Shen said with a smile: "I will take the initiative to propose that they present the four words 'punish rape and eradicate evil'... because I, like them, hate the most in my life. traitor."

The word "traitor" was carefully read by Gu!

Like a heavy hammer, it hit Yuan Shuocheng's heart.

Yuan Shuocheng is still angry at the moment, but he has gradually calmed down.

He calmly said: "These figures are all fictitious, fabricated, and slanderous..."

"Really?"

Gu Shen said with emotion: "That's really great. Anyway, it's a fabrication, and it doesn't matter. Why don't we use 'spiritual communication' at this moment, and just talk openly."

"You're crazy!" Yuan Shuocheng was so angry that his eyes widened and he was frightened: "The Holy One has [Tide] authority! He can hear everything!"

"Ah."

Gu Shen changed his face, and he reprimanded coldly: "You cowardly bastard, what are you pretending to do with me? Knowing that you are afraid of Jiadi, don't you know how to admit it honestly?"

"..."

After cursing his head and face, Yuan Shuocheng was at a loss for words.

At this moment, the entire Sangzhou Grotto island is under Jiadi's [Tide] listening. As long as Gu Shen tells the matter, Jiadi hears it, becomes suspicious, and then conducts an investigation...

I can't stand the things I did!

He could not utter a single retort or sophistry.

Because all these things he did were true, and every number that Gu Shen just said was very accurate.

Even if it was fake, he would still be afraid... because the Church of Storms does not need evidence at all!
All they need to doubt is enough to threaten their heads.

"you……"

Yuan Shuocheng gritted his teeth, he finally gave up struggling, and asked weakly, "How do you know?"

In these years of transactions, he has been extremely concealed and extremely careful.

The business of "Energy Boat" with Central City, this business, only he can do...Because he was born in a remote area of ​​Jiangbei, he was familiar with Beizhou people since he was a child, and then he entered the Church of Storms and grew up together when he was young His friends are entering the legion.

Yuan Shuocheng has always maintained close contact with his friends in the Legion——

After the Red War ended, the Lin royal family urgently needed a lot of funds. At this time, Yuan Shuocheng saw business opportunities. He made a speech to the bishop of the small church that he followed at the time, revealing his "transaction" plan, which of course was just the tip of the iceberg.

In this way, Yuan Shuocheng, who received the first tranche of funds, went north to Central City.

He asked his old friends for help, and bought a batch of arms that needed to be eliminated during the Lin's war against the red... The war promoted Beizhou's productivity and technology. On the backward Nanzhou battlefield, it can just come in handy.The war against the Red Army ended, and peace returned to the North Continent, but the civil war in the South Continent never stopped, and it was intensifying... The transaction went very smoothly, and Yuan Shuocheng returned to the church with this batch of "eliminated outdated" arms. He was appreciated, and soon received a request for a second "deal" from the upper echelons.

that's it.

Taking advantage of his identity as an outer court believer of the Church of Storms, he gradually became an arms broker and moved closer to the center of power in the holy city of Nanzhou step by step. The small church he belonged to, with the support of "advanced weapons", wiped out all the surrounding areas of Nanzhou. church.

And he also became a bishop from the outer court.

In the end, Yuan Shuocheng became a well-known "arms dealer" in Central City and Nanzhou. A "sage" in the holy city personally met him and expressed a bold plan——

Buy an energy boat!
This is the most famous and lethal weapon in Beizhou!
If on the Nanzhou battlefield, one side can get the "energy boat"... then there will be no suspense in the next battle, and the forces with the energy boat will directly crush it.

At that time, the internal fighting among the saints in the Church of Storms was very fierce, and that saint needed an energy boat to stabilize his position.

Yuan Shuocheng seized this opportunity.

The purchase and sale of energy boats is almost a "big business" that ordinary people can't imagine. Everyone knows that Beizhou refuses to make a move.

The reason why the transaction can be successful.

Because he made an undeniable offer to his Central City acquaintance——

He only needs to buy the old energy boats left over from the Red War in Beizhou.

The Red War was a pain to Beizhou, but it was also a drastic change... During the long war, the Lin royal family had many loyal "followers". In order to ensure the revolutionary success of the Red War, they devoted themselves to During the research on energy weapons, these revolutionaries went to Guangming City, Shangcheng, Nagano and other places for research and study. After returning from their studies, they returned to Beizhou one after another.

Their appearance, blowout and explosion made Beizhou's "war craft" start to lead the world.

In addition, during an accidental exploration beyond the Great Wall——

Rusty Bones, who was not yet an admiral at the time, brought back a design drawing of an old world flying ship.

A large part of this blueprint was missing. Later, after continuous research, the first-generation scholars of the Underground Research Institute completed the "invention" and simplified and created the structure of the original airship.

So the "Energy Boat" was born.

In the follow-up exploration of the ruins, blueprints were still being discovered, and the energy boats were upgraded from generation to generation.

What changed the war against the Red Army was actually the "Energy Boat".

After Lin's developed the energy boat, it was already difficult for the Red Emperor's army to resist——

In the end, the empress ascended to the throne and took back her own kindling. Beizhou ushered in peace, but the craftsmanship of the energy boat did not stop, but was further upgraded. The four "medium-sized energy boats" that Yuan Shuocheng ordered at the beginning were actually The old basics.

The value of such a medium-sized energy boat is probably less than [-] million.

However, Yuan Shuocheng offered a price that far exceeded the value from the very beginning!

Four ships, one billion!
Original energy boats were forbidden to be traded...but the other party gave too much. This matter was reported layer by layer by the legion, and finally reached the ears of Zhu Xue. Yuan Shuocheng.

In the end, the deal... was successfully negotiated.

Zhuxue asked the Holy City to offer 12 billion yuan, and the saint finally agreed, but Beizhou didn't accept all the money, but left a gap of 3000 million yuan.

Yuan Shuocheng had to accept this money.

This is the "necessary prerequisite" for the deal to be concluded. If Yuan Shuocheng wants to bring the four energy boats back to Nanzhou, he needs to agree to Zhuxue's "conditions"-for Beizhou, the transaction can proceed, but everything needs to be completed. Take it into your own hands.

Yuan Shuocheng accepted the sum of money, which means...

Central City can tear off his "broker" status at any time.

Under the coercion of the Holy One, Yuan Shuocheng had to agree to the deal, and just like that...he became the third biggest winner of this deal under the pressure of the general situation. "Original energy boat", the rest of the sages also followed suit, and the God of Storms' laissez-faire with the territory made the transactions more and more frequent. The accumulated transaction volume over the years has reached tens of billions.

Beizhou only sells the most backward weapons.

As for the "ultra-large energy boat" worth tens of billions of the main boat, Yuan Shuocheng also knew that no matter how much the holy city paid, it would not be traded by the central city.

Central City has mastered the technology, and will always hold the best weapon in its own hands!
Back to Yuan Shuocheng's initial question.

"How did you know?"

The archbishop couldn't understand anyway, he knew that Gu Shen was very popular in the Beizhou area, and even the empress expressed his affection for him, but he was from Dongzhou——

A genuine Dongzhou native!

The real inside story of this transaction, the entire Beizhou, should not exceed ten people know the inside story.

"Did Zhuxue tell you?"

"Could it be... the queen?"

Yuan Shuocheng looked at Gu Shen, who smiled slightly, and this smile was his answer.

He couldn't think of anything.

Apart from Zhuxue and the Queen, there is another person in Beizhou who knows this transaction like the back of his hand and knows it clearly.

In fact, the obsolete "energy boats" that Yuan Shuocheng bought all came from Gubao Fortress.

In a sense, all the airships in Nanzhou came from his hands.

He is the real seller of this deal.
