The knight king of the otherworldly moon

Remember what I said, in order to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools.

That's when you really show your bravery, don't worry."

The next thing should not be unexpected, it should be to arrange a plan, rather than letting Leah just be her own bodyguard, it is better to let her continue training.

They don't have much time now, after all, no one knows if the pirates will suddenly get windy.

"Yes, got it.

I'll get used to it as soon as possible, and that..."

At the end of her words, Leah hesitated.

"that…"

"Today...I want to eat fried shrimp."

Hearing Leah's words, Lucifer subconsciously laughed.

"No problem, I'll buy some myself when I get back."

Leaving the room, Lucifer walked down the steps, and he took the cape handed to him by the knight.

Go to the City Affairs Hall with Gareth, who has been waiting here.

Not long after, when Lucifer came here, he found that there were already five businessmen standing in the hall, four men and one woman.

Drake is on the other side.

After seeing Lucifer coming, Drake immediately saluted, while the merchants were half a beat.

Lucifer didn't care too much, after all, these people are not his subordinates, and maybe even many of them are not British.

Compared with several male businessmen, Lucifer's eyes were attracted by the woman in front of her. She had... long pink hair, a hat on her head, and clothes that looked a bit like Ross and Britain. Miss combo set.

Instead of conflicting, the two styles showed a strange melting in her, and it can only be said that she was very lining her clothes, not clothes lining her.

After a brief self-introduction, Lucifer also knew their names respectively.

Karl, Gerald, Ruth, Latif, and the last female Goyanskaya.

The moment he heard the name, Lucifer finally understood why this beauty looked familiar.

Although I don't know how this crumb fox appeared here, but now that the business is urgent, Lucifer didn't look at her too much.

"I have heard of your request through Drake.

If you want to go to sea now, I will not stop you, after all, for your businessmen, time often means money.

I just want to remind you that the risk of going to sea now is very high, and it is not proportional to your reward."

He looked at the crowd and reminded.

"My dear king, we know.

That's what it came for.

The five of us, on behalf of many merchants in Edinburgh, would like to ask you to send a fleet to escort us away."

Carl with a moustache is dressed in white. This...British businessman looks to be in his 40s, and his tone is full of respect.

"My army is not a mercenary, you better know that."

Lucifer responded lightly.

"Yes! We know, merciful king, that you please protect our passage by sea this time.

Our cargo has been piling up here for a long time, and if we don't find time to release it, it may cause us to go bankrupt."

On the other hand, Ruth, another fat middle-aged man, also spoke.

At the same time, their expressions were very distressed.

"Money is more important than life"

Lucifer asked with interest.

"Your Majesty the King of Knights, there is a saying I don't know if you have heard it.

For businessmen like me, money is life."

Goyanskaya opened the fan at this time and said in a timely manner.

Although he said that, Lucifer felt that the thing that the fox in front of him cared more about than money was himself.

"So you choose to ask for money or not for life"

Lucifer asked back.

no.178 The bait plan (for tickets, for custom)

These guys in front of them already have some shadows of previous life capitalists, and they typically want money and not life.

There is a joke that if the profit is enough, they even dare to sell the rope to hang themselves.

"Of course not, after all, if you just have money but no life, there is no use for money.

Speaking of money, the five of us jointly discussed a proposal, we will contribute a large amount of money to ensure the smooth passage of this time, I wonder what Your Majesty thinks."

Koyanskaya said the countermeasures they had discussed in advance.

Although paying a lot of money to Lucifer made them very painful, it was better than being squeezed here like this.

However, in the face of this seemingly lucrative choice, Lucifer still chose to refuse.

"I just said that my army is not a mercenary."

The line between the army and the mercenaries needs to be drawn clearly and must not be crossed.

If you receive money here now, others will surely follow suit later.

In the end, the army may not become an army.

"This......"

Carl's expression was completely stuck there.

"That is to say, there is no need to talk."

Goyanskaya smiled lightly, as if not much... lost.

Just when they thought it was over here, Lucifer spoke again.

"The trouble you are facing now is the pirates, and so are we.

At least on this point, our interests are aligned.

I'm curious how much...property you lose each year to these pirates."

"us......"

Ruth thought about it and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Lucifer.

"You don't need to answer, you can see from your looks, it's definitely not a small number.

So I have a proposal now, which can or can once and for all solve the troubles caused by pirates in this sea area."

"Once and for all,"

Ruth was instantly taken aback.

"Totally solve the troubles of pirates."

Carl was also a little surprised.

"Yes, completely deal with the three fur seals outside."

Lucifer repeated his words again.

"What do we need to do You just said no money, I'm curious, what do we need to pay"

Koyanskaya's smile now became a bit like a fox.

"It's very simple. After that, I will have a battle plan for the pirates. I need you to sail according to the route I specified, attract the pirates as bait, and then let my army annihilate them."

Lucifer simply stated his plan.

This is generally true, but the actual implementation may have many details.

"Bait..."

'How much will we lose'

"If you cooperate, the loss can be minimized, and it must be much less than the amount of money you just wanted to pay."

Facing the questions of the two male businessmen, Lucifer did not make a definite guarantee, but said the best result.

This result instantly allowed them to solve the troubles of the pirates in one fell swoop, at a lower cost, of course they were willing.

"we agree!"

"right!"

"agree!"

Seeing this, Lucifer began to say the worst result.

"Listen to me and finish first, but if you don't cooperate and sit down and cause huge losses and even affect my soldiers, then the consequences are not something that can be solved by paying money."

With this order of good and then bad, the subconscious mind of these businessmen will have a fluke mentality.

It's better for them to accept than bad first.

"Huh! Can I simply understand that we are being forcibly incorporated under your command for the time being?"

Goyanskaya.... saw the problem, she said.

"No.

You are not my subordinates, and you are also good citizens who obey the law in this land.

Therefore, I will not force you to do anything, the choice is yours."

Lucifer said calmly.

Even if they refuse, they have other options.

But these people have no other choice. Now they take the initiative to seek for themselves, and the initiative lies with them.

If they don't want to choose, then the final consequences can only be suffered by themselves.

Of course, for these... businessmen who believe that time is money, this choice is actually doomed from the beginning.

"Great King, I wonder if we can negotiate for a while..."

Carl hesitated to ask Lucifer for instructions.

"no problem.

Drake, take them to the side hall, you have an hour to think about it.

For those of you whose time means money, you probably don't want to waste too much money."

Lucifer applied Goyanskaya's previous words to them at this time.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Drake took them to the side hall, where they would discuss how to agree to Lucifer's proposal.

In fact, this question didn't have too many choices from the beginning, although Lucifer gave the right to choose.

But no matter in terms of benefits or benefits, they can't refuse.

While waiting, Lucifer took the book and read it.

The cover of the book reads "Pillow Grass".

In this world, familiar books can still be seen, and Lucifer subconsciously has a feeling of nostalgia.

When I was shopping with Leah before, I saw something in the bookstore, so he bought a copy.

Originally I also looked for "The Tale of Genji", but unfortunately I couldn't find it.

Of course, it's also much better than a bunch of shitty knight novels.

In fact, I have paid special attention to Shakespeare before, but this drama writer seems to have not made a fortune yet, he has only written a 'famous play', which is not much sought after, so it can be said that the income is bleak.
