Something's wrong with my undead

Melvin is back at Veritas, and that’s nothing new.

But it is the most explosive news in the whole of Veritas.

First, the voyage jointly carried out by Opry and the Basque Chamber of Commerce proved that the "outside world" was no longer full of crises, and then they also brought back a groundbreaking means of transportation such as the "McFlurry".

A lightweight, inexpensive aircraft that is not made of metal and is powered by fire.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that things were about to change in Veritas.

Because this thing does not rely on charging stones at all, it not only initiates a new round of energy revolution in the logistics and transportation industries, but more importantly, it opens up a new way of thinking for all Veritas people -

The ancestral laws can be changed!

Since ancient times, wizards have deconstructed the world based on a spell system that enslaves the spirits, which makes them highly dependent on energy stones, an energy source that is closely related to the soul.

Even though they had come into contact with the floating cities of the Nice people in the past, they, who owned all kinds of airships, looked at those things as if modern people with trains and airplanes looked at horse-drawn carriages, believing that they were primitive people's means of transportation.

But who would have thought that times have changed!

Artificial horses eat grass, can run faster at a lower cost, and are much lighter than those with iron shells!

Who the hell could have imagined this?

As a result, the media that had been sneering at the two companies for some time suddenly changed their attitude overnight and began to vigorously praise the new technology for changing Veritas, and the pace of the times would also change as a result.

As a result, Opry's stock price tripled, and people came one after another to ask Melvin to issue more shares.

In the office, after seeing off the last batch of difficult directors, Melvin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she closed the door, her expression became strange.

She opened the door again and looked towards the entrance. A few minutes later, William appeared in front of her with a short Cornu man.

"I finally understand why you said before, 'It's not the best time for the Basque Chamber of Commerce to go public.'"

Melvin said to Red, also known as Duoduo, with emotion.

The latter bowed gracefully to her: "It seems that you understand my approach."

"If I didn't know about your relationship with McCalla, I'm afraid I would never understand the significance of your actions."

Melvin raised his hand to activate the soundproofing barrier in the office, sat back on the sofa, and took the glass handed to him by his son.

"So, you should have more than 21 seats now, right?"

Not all the people who came to her office wanted to buy shares in Opry, but more of them came to inquire about the Basque Chamber of Commerce.

After all, it is this dwarf chamber of commerce that is truly engaged in the "McFlurry" business.

But because of its distinct ethnic characteristics, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a chance to squeeze in.

"34."

Duoduo smiled and said, "We could have exceeded 50 seats, but Master Basque raised the threshold at my suggestion. We already have a lot of money, but you know, the Macara people don't accept gold coins."

"Yes, they just have to contribute points."

Melvin narrowed his eyes.

She suddenly thought of something.

The Macara people do not accept gold coins, but are in urgent need of charging stones.

Although the window for exchanging gold coins for contribution points is very small and there is a limit, there is no limit on the amount of energy stones.

If there are a lot of charging stones, their golden-haired aide will even change his usual reserved look, and with a kind smile, he will ask you what service you want, what package you want to buy, and what membership you want to buy...

The Basque Chamber of Commerce is now listed and has amassed a large amount of wealth. At the same time, the emergence of McFlurry will seriously impact the price of energy stones.

Could it be that they were planning to take over the charging stone from the very beginning?

She suddenly shuddered and was extremely grateful that she had reacted a beat slower and was not cruel enough, so she did not hoard so many charging stones.

“It seems you’ve thought of it.”

Duoduo shook his short legs, but soon realized that he was now a muscular man of 1.18 meters tall. This movement would look very strange, so he sat up straight.

"I came to you to discuss this matter. We have already drawn up a few candidates to take over, but we will wait until they take the initiative to go to the rooftop."

"Go up to the rooftop?" Melvin was stunned: "What is that?"

"It means flying man." William explained: "Red said that in Macara, because flying and slow falling spells are not common, many gamblers who lose money will climb up the tallest building and jump down directly. The tallest one is the rooftop of the Lord's Mansion."

"But can they get in?"

"So they either died in the process of breaking in or fell from the sky. In any case, they were all freed."

It's really interesting...

Melvin thought to himself as he took the list from Duoduo.

She couldn't help laughing when she saw the first line.

Keywest Security, Pavel Fedorov.

That damn bald guy is in trouble now.

But when she saw the second line, her eyes changed slightly.

Holy Light Mage, Helenda Ochi.

One of the six-member council, one of the eleven eighth-level mages of Veritas, and the former archbishop of the Eternal Dawn.

He is also one of her suitors.

It was just that after being rejected, the other party threatened her to keep the secret, otherwise he would keep it secret forever.

"A person at the level of the Six-Man Council...can we take action?" she asked.

"The order of Veritas is money, not strength." William knew what his mother was worried about. He held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Red has a way. We will make that guy obedient!"

"Pride will get us killed, William."

Duoduo tactfully reminded the other party not to open the champagne in advance: "Anyway, the people on the list are all those I am confident of. If you have any relatives or friends who you want to 'save', you might as well add them and we can discuss it together."

Melvin thought for a moment, then added the name "Hilda Margrave".

Duoduo raised an eyebrow, not surprised by this.

She just accepted the list and continued, "There is one more thing. I guess Mr. Fox Shadow will come to your door soon. You should know how to deal with him."

Melvin nodded: "I will guide him to put the blame on the Luku people, but will it really work?"

"We just do it, and leave the rest to the people above."

Duoduo shrugged.

As soon as Melvin came back, he submitted a report on his trip to Deathclaw Mountain and the western magic communication station in Whispering Forest to the Society of Truth.

Of course, the contents were compiled by the McCullagh people for her.

Moreover, the part about Solace involved the participation of the Mad King himself, which made it highly credible.

After the roots of the Gittier family were in trouble, the Macara side guessed that the roots of the Veritas side would also be in trouble. After all, Ivan McDuck was Solace's magic consultant back then.

In addition, the McDuck family was so famous that Heine and others even made the worst-case scenario that "the source had been separated and observed by the wizards", and added vague information leading to the Eternal Dawn to the rumor.

The reason for doing this is that it is curious enough to arouse people's interest at the first moment, thus creating the subconscious thought that "even if it is made up, it is impossible to make up such outrageous fake news."

Then, if they want to verify it on the spot, just let Zhuayang act it out.

Anyway, not many people know about the Holy Light Skeleton at the moment.

The Veritas are smart and arrogant, so they have great trust in their intelligence network.

In that case, let them continue to believe.

After Duoduo finished explaining the important things, she left without stopping. The impact of this trip was too great, beyond her expectations. Even several large families that were not originally included in the plan came to seek cooperation. This was a good opportunity to win them over and she couldn't let it go.

Not long after she left, a mysterious text message passed through the first layer of defense of the Opry Building and sent greetings to Melvin himself at the second layer of mental barrier.

"Ms. Melvin, I'm Loshian, and I hope to meet you."

Melvin traced back along the fluctuations of the text message, but only found disposable magic tools in the alley outside the building, and couldn't help but smile.

Fox Shadow is really extremely cautious.

She walked out of the company and went straight into the alley, leaning against the wall and lighting a lady's cigarette.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, she turned her head and looked towards the dark alley.

"Why don't you show yourself yet, Mr. Fox Shadow?"

"Your wisdom is as good as your beauty." Luo Xian suddenly appeared and bowed slightly.

He looked extremely disheveled, his battle robe was covered in tatters and scars, and the magic armor underneath had several cracks, splashing out elemental sparks from time to time.

It was obvious that it took him a lot of effort to escape all the way back from such a far place like Dusk Valley.

And the first thing he did when he came back was to seek cooperation. This makeup further demonstrates his sincerity.

——I came here to testify with you without reporting to the organization. I have absolutely no intention of betraying you!

That's probably what it means.

"You'd better use those words to deceive little girls." Melvin looked at him coldly: "You left the camp early, did someone tip you off or was Fox Shadow really that cautious?"

"Of course it's the latter." Luo Xian smiled bitterly. "My experience in Nardele has made me distrust anyone. I'm always worried that the strange beast has entered the brains of my team members and will attack me in my sleep... I didn't expect that I could avoid your sudden attack. A new airship, you are really willing to spend it."

He is really eloquent.

Melvin sneered in his heart.

Although she didn't know that the other party was a necromancer - because this would expose the fact that Heine himself was also a necromancer - but she knew from Duoduo part of the truth about how Lothian survived the disaster, so she knew that the other party was lying.

But this acting...

Perfect.

"What about the people from Eternal Dawn?" Melvin continued to ask, "What's going on with them?"

"It was just a chance encounter, ma'am, I swear to you."

A blessing in disguise?

Melvin was really amused this time. She shook her head gently: "I don't believe in any oaths, but you are a smart person. You know that Opry will not fall now, so neither will I. Your one or two words cannot change the 'truth' I brought back. Instead, you will be kicked away like a pebble."

"I see……"

Luo Xian took a deep breath and suppressed the despair in his heart.

He was actually hoping for the best, thinking that if he could get protection from the Lion King, he could defeat him...

But in the past two days, reports about "Melvin's triumph" were everywhere, and Opry's stock price continued to rise to a desperate level. He also deeply understood that the clues he found were nothing in the face of interests.

If it were in the past, it might have been a reason for a reckoning.

But now, even if the fuse is lit, there will be people rushing to extinguish the sparks with his blood.

"So I came to ask you...what should I say?"

Melvin was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he looked at him deeply.
