Evil always comes from courage

Soon, tonight's meeting was held again. As expected, the attitude of the Farian West German knight was quite optimistic, Captain Finnis was half happy and half worried, and Bansfather, Knight Bate and Soldier Melody were more optimistic. It was really surprising that they were so nervous before.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the good news brought by Alice Letasha, Pope Waldo and Sister Faustina also brought good news.

On the Victoria, including the believers brought by Pope Waldo, nearly 20 holy oracles with the ability to consecrate have been found. However, there are still some people who have never used it and do not know that they have such ability. strength.

To Alice Letasha's expectation, Fabian Feier and Susan Warrior did not feel relaxed after hearing the good news, but still looked worried.

She originally thought that both of them would be more inclined towards the views of Knight Bansfather, Knight Bate and Warrior Melody because of the arrival of the good news, but in fact, she didn’t know what happened on this day that led to a change in their opinions..

Madam Hong told everyone about the current situation of the nobles. For example, someone was secretly planning to escape from the Victoria and was secretly bribed with the crew and guards. As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Knight Bansfather Bet was immediately furious.

"If these guys who are greedy for life and fear of death are really allowed to escape, it will definitely cause greater panic. Maybe many people will blindly jump ship, or cause a riot to snatch supplies."

Mrs. Hong expressed her opinion;

"I am more worried that they will encourage the crew to leave with them, so that the power operation of the Victoria will inevitably be affected. If the number of people is too small, I am worried that the sailing ability of the Victoria will be affected."

Captain Finneas was not nervous about this, and he stood up to vouch for everyone;

"Don’t worry about this. I can guarantee that there will never be a large-scale flight of sailors. The location we are in now can be described as unknown. Those small boats cannot carry too many people at all. If you want to carry a few more people, you cannot bring too much food and fresh water. This can be said to be fatal in ocean travel. of."

This is the same as what Alice Letasha said to Madam Red and Alcock Arrow earlier.

Alcock Arrow also took this opportunity to raise the concerns of the businessmen and said that he had already talked with Madam Red and Alice Letasha discussed the countermeasures.

After hearing this, Pope Waldo said;

"This is a rare and good idea. I am willing to buy cheap jewelry to consecrate and distribute to the crew and believers."

Leifander Jonathan also expressed his opinion;

"We might as well buy all the fresh water, food and other things we can use. As long as all these resources are in our hands, we don't have to be afraid even if we start a riot. After all, no one can last three days without water or food. It can also show off its power."

Anyway, this proposal is a good one, but soon they had a dispute over the purchase of fresh water and food.

Because according to the current situation, as long as they can control the most fresh water and food, then in the future they will The power you hold will therefore become crucial.

Mrs. Red said;

"I am willing to pay to buy all the water and food. These huge goods are nothing to our Brehid Empire. We can offer very reasonable prices to satisfy the merchants."

In fact, Alice Letasha knew very well that the representatives present probably did not carry a large amount of currency. In the end, I am afraid that only half of them will be able to profit from this proposal, but this is by no means the best choice.

Melody The soldier quickly smelled the conspiracy behind this, and he asked dissatisfiedly;

"We in Leled Imperial City are not idle people. We just have some food and water. This responsibility is not borne by you alone. If others knew about it, they would think that we are destitute and become beggars in need of help."

This has a different meaning. He is right. If all these supplies are taken over by any one person, then everyone will be constrained due to the distribution of food and water resources in subsequent meetings, and their right to speak will also be limited. With this weakening, we can only support that person's proposal.

Soon, the remaining people also understood this. However, in this aspect, Pope Waldo obviously does not need to worry. The ability of the Holy Consecration can only be looked up to him. Food and water are better than The contribution he made was not as great as his, so he had no intention of getting involved. He just waited quietly for everyone to come up with an answer.

Alcock Arrow also said;

"The total amount of merchants' goods is very large. I'm afraid it would be a waste of money and money for one person to buy it. Why don't we all share a share and each contribute some money to buy what we want more. Fabian

Fell and Sister Faustina looked embarrassed. Instead, they thought it would be better for Madam Red to buy everything by herself, because they didn’t have much savings in their hands and really couldn’t afford it..

Seeing that everyone was determined to win, Alice Letasha first raised a question to Alcock Arrow;

"What are the trading conditions? Should they only accept cash or write an IOU, and wait until they get ashore to collect the harvest of their voyage?"

These words were obviously too abrupt, and everyone who asked was stunned. Then Alcock Arrow broke out in a cold sweat, and his face suddenly turned livid.

They were all arguing about how to allocate these resources, but in fact this was business.

He forgets that if someone can offer a higher price, then of course people are willing to sell what they have to the highest bidder, which means that the terms of the transaction payment greatly limit what they can buy.
