Eagle's Glory

Then, he suddenly changed the topic again, "Also, I have another task for you—"

While speaking, he took out a small bag from the side and handed it to Edmond Dantès.

Edmund took the heavy bag in a daze, and then he opened it, and was shocked to find that it was full of precious gems.

Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, huge pearls and emeralds all lie here quietly.

"As you can see, this is a small part of the treasure." Aigron said to him with a smile, "My personal estimate is about 100 million francs, but it will definitely be slaughtered when it is sold on a large scale, so I can You will be satisfied if you get around 80 yuan, and the rest depends on your own ability.”

"Do you want him to sell it in Paris?" At this moment, the silent priest suddenly asked.

"Yes, you do have insight." Aigron smiled and nodded at the priest, "Selling so many jewels will definitely bring about price fluctuations, and Paris, only the financiers in Paris are the most capable of eating it." These jewels make it have the least impact on the market, and correspondingly, the discount is the least—Edmond, it depends on your ability, I hope you adapt to the situation and help me turn it into cash and bring it back."

Edmund Tantes suddenly realized.

Yes, dealing with jewelers and bankers is inevitable in getting such a large sum of cash, and Paris is the best place to do it.

No wonder His Majesty puts so much emphasis on demeanor.

"You have to try to establish a long-term sales channel, and I hope to get a lot of cash from Paris jewelry in the future." During his meditation, Aigron continued to say, "This task is really not easy, but love Demon, I trust you, show me your skills!"

Edmond Dantès asked in a low voice. "Aren't you sending someone to watch me? That's a lot of money."

"Why do you want to send someone to watch you? The less people know about this mission, the better." Aigron shook his head with a smile, "Edmond, just spend money, I don't mind, but I hope you can take this To make a name for yourself in the upper classes of society, and to find us some friends in the financial world of Paris."

Aigron placed full trust in Edmond Dantès.

He knew that Edmond Dantès valued love and righteousness, and he would definitely not be the kind of person who would betray his adoptive father for a large sum of money. Since the priest was in his hands, it was impossible for him to abscond with the money.

So he simply be more generous, but it can reflect his trust in Edmund.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Edmond Dantès held the bag tightly and replied in a low voice, "I will never betray your trust."　　

30, the price

"I will never betray your trust."

Edmond Dantès' tone was very low, but everyone present could hear the incomparable enthusiasm and determination in his words.

"Then I will leave everything to you." Eggron nodded. "Edmond, I'm on the island, and it's impossible to give you advice all the time, so once you set foot on the mainland, you enjoy absolute freedom of action. I believe in your resilience, let's do it."

Edmond Dantès had a very complicated expression. He was full of ambition and moved by His Majesty's trust in him, but also worried that his limited ability would ruin the benefactor's event.

But in any case, his spirits lifted.

He has been locked in prison for more than ten years and has been forgotten by the world. At this moment, he finally found a place for himself and a goal to work hard for in the future-for many people, this is more important than money. more important.

It's just... this poor man!Aegron sighed inwardly.

He guessed that once he landed on the mainland, Edmond Dantès would definitely choose to go back to his hometown first to inquire about his family's recent situation.

He knew what that would be - it would be Edmond Dantès' nightmare for the rest of his life.

Edmund will learn that after he was arrested, his fiancée Mercedes tried many ways to avenge him, but finally gave up after finding no way to help him, and then married Fernand who had been coveting her; Knowing that those who conspired to frame him will rise step by step, ascend to the upper class of society, and become an unshakable big man; After Fubao heard nothing from him, he was finally starved to death because of despair and poverty...

Although he has long been used to indifference, Aegron still feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks of this.

He is not feeling well, so how should Edmond Dantès, who is the client, feel?

It will definitely be angry and painful to the point where it cannot be added!This is a mortal hatred!

Hatred will transform a person, and Edmond Dantès will be baptized by the fire of hatred, and finally sublimated into an avenging angel, who will spend the remaining time and energy in his life to give back to his enemies the same pain.

He would have done so, and it would have been to Eggron's advantage—for then Edmund would have wanted him to succeed even more desperately, so that he could borrow the emperor's authority and take revenge so quickly that these enemies would die.

So... Edmond, go, face everything you have to face, your bad luck is over, from now on I will not treat you badly, as long as you work for me, then it will be the same as Chanel , I will take over your grievances for you, just let go!You have a share in my business too.

Aigron turned his gaze out of the window, covering up what was in his mind.

After a moment of silence in the room, Father Faria suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think your arrangement is very appropriate, but there is one point that is worth discussing-is the emblem of the Count of Monte Cristo not suitable for the outside world?" The priest expressed his concern, "Edmond took the big A lot of jewelry, and a lot of money, which is very conspicuous even in Paris, is bound to attract the attention of many interested people, and then they may think of Monte Cristo."

"What you said is indeed reasonable." Aigron nodded, but he still insisted on his opinion, "However, since we are going to do something big, people will notice this place sooner or later. Edmond uses the name Count of Monte Cristo. Number, can confuse the outside world."

That's right, he deliberately let Edmond Dantès use the Count of Monte Cristo.

He couldn't personally participate in various crimes, and he couldn't let his name be directly linked to those shady things, so he decided to make Edmond Dantès his agent, or vest.

The apparent manipulator of these invisible businesses is Edmond Dantès, Count of Monte Cristo, who is the leader of the outside world.

When outsiders saw Edmond Dantès spending money like water and using the title of Count of Monte Cristo, they would definitely think that he was the leader of the smugglers.

There is no doubt that such an arrangement is very risky, but Edmond Dantès deserves so much trust in him.

Needless to say, moral character, in terms of ability, in the original book, Edmond Dantès quickly managed a huge smuggling network. Aigron believes that driven by hatred, he will do the same thing this time .

The emperor's robes tolerated no stains, and he wanted to associate his name with brilliance, just like the posters he planned to distribute on a large scale in the French countryside.

Although Aigron's words were rather vague, but Father Faria was very sophisticated, and of course he quickly understood His Majesty's intentions.

"Okay, Your Majesty, then I thank you for your trust on behalf of Edmund." He smiled wryly, and no longer insisted on his opinion.

Then he asked suddenly, "Your Majesty, are there any newspapers on the island? Or are there any books describing contemporary European politics and the situation in various countries?"

"There are all these." Aigron replied, "Someone sends a large bundle of newspapers every few days. I also ordered a lot of books and maps from Genoa. I opened a special reading room in the next room. When you need it, you can go there and read it at any time, just tell Chanel."

"That's really great... I've been isolated from the world for so long, I really don't know what's going on in this world, my eyes are blurred, so I'm not qualified to give you advice." The priest continued with a wry smile, "So I want to let you know as soon as possible. Figure out the current Europe as soon as possible, and then do your duty, so as not to waste the food you gifted."

It seems that he has entered the state and put himself in the position of a think tank.

well.

"I understand your desire to achieve something, but please pay more attention to your body." Aigron comforted the other party with a smile, "Your health is very important to us, please take care of yourself."

Just when Aigron was about to say a few words to the priest, there were sudden footsteps at the door, followed by a light knock on the door.

Chanel hurried to the door, and then came back.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Louis is here to look for you."

"Oh." Aigron nodded, and then looked at Edmond Dantès and the priest apologetically, "It seems that today can only end here, please leave first."

"Goodbye, Your Majesty." The two left immediately.

Soon, his cousin Louis walked in.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty."

"Good afternoon, my brother." Aigron smiled, "Is there anything you can do with me today?"

"It's what you told me last time..." Louis had a strange expression on his face. "I asked someone to inquire about the lady. With the help of my relationship in Austria, I finally received some news today."

Aigron's heart twitched suddenly, but on the surface it was still quite indifferent.

"what news?"

Louis hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Chanel, but he thought that Chanel knew the lady, so he no longer hesitated.

"Since you left, she seems to have been severely reprimanded. It is rumored that she has temporarily moved out of the palace and thrown her into a royal hunting villa for rest." Louis sighed, wondering if he felt sorry for Aigron, "The news of the resting place is strictly blocked, and we can't find out about other things."

"Really..." Eggron frowned.

He didn't expect the punishment to be so severe.

Why?It stands to reason that she is not directly involved.

But now, the reason is not important anymore - the important thing is that Sophie has suffered a heavy price because of him.

This is all your own doing - there seems to be a voice in your heart saying.

He recalled Sophie cursing him at the time of parting.

His breathing suddenly became heavier, but in the end, he still controlled his emotions.

"Okay, I see, thank you." He nodded to Louis, "Then let's stop here and stop wasting resources."

Then he asked, "Anything else?"

"Not for the time being, Your Majesty, I'm going back first." Of course Louis could see that he was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly said goodbye to His Majesty.

The door closed again, but Aigron was filled with boredom.

"I'll go to the beach for a walk." He casually said to Chanel, and then walked out the door by himself.

Chanel followed him step by step, "Your Majesty, you..."

"Don't say anything, just let me be quiet." Aegron stood on the bare rock, looking at the boundless sea in the distance. "I've always been good at regulating myself, and it'll be fine after a while."

Then, Aigron suddenly laughed, "This is the price I paid, isn't it? Compared with others, I am the one who paid less."

"Your Majesty..." Looking at the young man's slightly melancholy smile, Chanel suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

She hesitated for a while.

In the end, she thought, maybe His Majesty would blame herself, but she really didn't want to keep silent anymore.

"Maybe there's something I should tell you," she whispered. "Please give me a little patience."

"Well, you are qualified." Aigron shrugged.

"I originally served Her Highness Sophie, and she assigned me to you later, but the maid who replaced me was also from Bavaria. Our relationship is pretty good. When I came to you, I often chatted... After all, we These Bavarians can't fit into the big circle." Chanel lowered her head, looked at the waves lapping on the rocks, and then said in a low voice, "Some time before you left, she once told me that His Highness had entrusted her to go to Vienna Find a doctor to buy medicine."

"Well, she's sick?" Aigron was a little surprised. After all, he and Sophie had been together day and night, and he didn't see that she was sick during that time.

And...there are many doctors in the palace, why does she need to ask the maid to buy medicine?

Etc., etc!

Aigron suddenly understood what the so-called "buying medicine" meant.

This is the sin of oneself.

He could only nod his head slightly to show that he understood.

However, the next sentence caught him completely by surprise.

"However, in the last period of time, she...she didn't go to buy medicine anymore." Chanel lowered her head and continued, "When she told me, she even teased me that you have Teresa The princess has since forgotten her roots..."

Chanel's voice was very soft, but it roared in his ears like a thunder.

He stared at Chanel dumbfounded.

No wonder...

Although this was just a guess, Aigron found that it matched reality again.

This can explain why Austrian officials treat Sophie with such a strange attitude.

It turned out that it was not only to punish her, but also to block the news.

God, God!

What have I done?Why did I let her fall into this situation?His eyes widened.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

Chanel lowered her head and dared not answer.

Yes, she was afraid that after I learned about it, my heart would soften for a while and I would forget the great cause.

How could she, a fanatical follower, be happy to see her forget her destiny?

...Loyalty is never unconditional, how could I forget that?

"Your Majesty... don't look at me like this, please, I beg you..." Chanel burst into tears, and then looked at the young man in horror, "I... I was indeed wrong, but I was I was lucky, thinking that I would not fall into this result, who would have imagined..."

As she spoke, she sobbed, "This is indeed my fault, I just beg you not to abandon me, I will make amends! Please!"

She still wanted to say something, but in an instant she found that she couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only lower her head, swallowed and continued to apologize to her master.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my sins!"

Amidst her crying, Aigron gradually calmed down.

He sighed, then patted Chanel on the shoulder, signaling her to relax.

"No, you didn't commit a crime. I won't put the blame on you. Blaming others is a sign of incompetence. I will never do it!" Aigron closed his eyes slightly, "I imagined , If on the day of fleeing, I know this will be the result, I will still flee... So the responsibility is not on you, everything is my own choice."

His tone was indifferent, but Chanel who had been following him could hear the helplessness and determination in it.

What is it that makes a person face life and death so calmly at such a young age?

"Your Majesty..." Chanel couldn't help crying again, but this time it was because of gratitude and emotion, "All these sacrifices will not be in vain, God will definitely let you get the final victory as compensation! I Guaranteed... This is the last thing I will hide from you in my life, if there is another thing in the future, I will die to apologize to you..."

Aigron didn't answer, and he looked at the sea in front of him again.

The boundless blue ocean seems to contain everything.
