Chapter 497: Morrow's temptation

"Hehe, good idea, but if Baron Cook disagrees and leaves, guess what the result would be if this situation is leaked out?" Someone sneered.
Everyone was speechless for a while, and now the people in the Holy See are full of mentalities. They are afraid that Cook will get huge benefits and that Cook will give up halfway. Their minds are very complicated.
Moro also felt a headache, because after the last injury, Moro was still recovering from his injuries, and Moro was not proficient in these conspiracies and so on. Moreover, Cook used a conspiracy, not afraid that the Holy See would disagree.
Moro sighed. Moro could think of being able to get rid of the frontal entanglement with the orc empire. This is an irresistible temptation for the empire and the Holy See. Moro knows that the Scarlet Fortress is a huge cancer, constantly sucking the whole The provision of the Empire and the Holy See, manpower, material resources, financial resources, etc.
"Miss Moreau, look?" The pope was also a little guilty.
The Pope’s guilty conscience is that if Cook gets huge benefits after signing the contract, he will be laughed at by the entire empire and the entire world, and more likely to face unknown punishment.
If he disagrees, the Pope can guarantee that many people in front of him will not let him go, and this matter will be announced tomorrow. At that time, he may only become the first pope in history to voluntarily resign.
Mo Luo was very angry, and the pope's question was nothing more than to pull himself into the water, and if there was something, someone would carry it together, but Mo Luo saw another opportunity later.
That is to completely eliminate the opportunity to become an enemy of the orc empire. Once it succeeds, there will be a lot of credit for oneself, but opportunities and crises coexist, and Molo can't grasp whether he should join.
After a little thought, Moro suggested: "Your Majesty, let's wait and let the intelligence department collect information about Baron Cook and the orc empire?"
"Yes, yes!" The pope sighed that Moreau's answer was wonderful. This not only delayed the time for the Holy See to have a discussion with the empire's high-level officials, but also collected intelligence, and then saw if there was any intelligence that would benefit the empire.
The top officials of the Holy See and the empire all agreed to the Pope’s suggestion. Only the intelligence part was dissatisfied. After all, the pressure was too great, but the intelligence department did not dare to say anything.
In fact, Moro also understood that the entire Holy See and the Empire are divided into two parts, one is the intelligence agency, the financial department, and the Privy Council. The personnel of these major departments are very eager to sign a contract, because the Scarlet Fortress is costly to finance, intelligence, and personnel. The pressure is too great.
And the court is anxious to send all believers in the world who are not the gods of light to the torture frame, so it is very reluctant to sign a contract with Cook, and the department in charge of combatants. The oil and water in this department is too rich. The money rushed into the pockets, as well as the temple guards and the priest temple. These people regarded the Scarlet Fortress as a good trial, but the price of this trial was too great.
And Cook is hanging out with Wu Mei on the street. To Cook’s surprise, although the people here are full of dishes, but they are in good spirits, there is no trace of decadence. Although the rich are well dressed, they are not showing off. The passing crowd They all looked in a hurry, with no intention of staying at all.
There are few taverns in the Holy City, only a small number of taverns, and the people sitting in them are almost not from the Bright Empire. Cook has long known about this, due to the existence of the Scarlet Fortress.
Most of the financial, material, and human resources of the Bright Empire are consumed by the Scarlet Fortress. In the Bright Empire, wine making is strictly regulated. Wine-making is not allowed without permission, and taxes are heavy, especially for the richer people. , The heavier the tax collected, even the nobility is no exception.
Cook couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes the power of faith is really too strong. Suddenly Cook has an impulse to tell, which is also about faith. In the deep memory of Cook's soul, there is a red faith. This belief has supported tens of millions of people fighting for this belief.
"Umei." Cook yelled softly.
"Yeah!" Wu Mei was looking at the people of all colors on the street, and gave a soft hum.
"Did you know that for tens of thousands of years, the war between the Bright Empire and the Orc Empire has directly led to the deaths of tens of billions of people. On average, the number of people who die and war in the Bright Empire is as high as 300,000 every year." Cook understood himself. Tell Wu Mei what you have arrived.
"Actually, the Bright Empire is a fool!" Who knew Wu Mei's next sentence almost made Cook fall to the ground.
Cook looked at Wu Mei suspiciously, and then asked: "What do you say?"
"During the Maykai Empire, some wolf cavalry told me that every time the empire went to war with humans, the empire was also a last resort. Our orcs are too fertile, but the land is not fertile, so whenever the number of people exceeds a certain limit, the empire The high-level leaders will launch a war, and even when the grain production is reduced, they will also launch a war. If I am a high-level member of the Bright Empire, I will let the orcs work, or exchange the food for the fur of the orc Empire, magic herbs, etc. , But the Bright Empire chose war." Wu Mei explained with blinking eyes.
Cook couldn't help but admire Wu Mei. In fact, Cook knew the same thing. The war that started in the orc empire was actually some people value the huge profits of smuggling to the orc empire.
Once the orc empire is blocked, the price of luxurious fur, gems, magic herbs, and beast cubs will be extremely low, so the light empire will block the orc empire.
I have to say that the following people in the Bright Empire have succeeded. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins have been exchanged for hundreds of gold coins. The cubs of millions of gold coins can only be exchanged for a few inferior iron pots. The huge profits make all The senior leaders of the Bright Empire were addicted to the sea of ​​gold coins.
At the beginning, there was no Scarlet Fortress, and it was blocked by the Bright Empire. The Orc Empire immediately fought back. The three provinces of the Bright Empire were ransacked by millions of orcs, leaving nothing behind, and even humans were taken away. .
Since then, the orc empire and the empire of light have forged a deadly feud, unending tens of thousands of years, these Cooks learned from some secret channels.
"Cook, hello!" Just as Cook thought, a voice interrupted Cook's thoughts.
"Haha, Miss Molo." Cook laughed. Although Cook had expected someone to come, he did not expect Molo to be the first.
"Miss Wumei." Moreau knew Wumei. Wumei was wearing a white hat, covering her strange ears, and her long skirt covering her tail, but Molo recognized it at a glance.
"Miss Moro, is your injury healed?" Wu Mei also replied politely.
Moro soon got together with Cook and Umei, but Moro clearly perceives the strength of the four people who followed Cook, and that is vaguely like an iceberg, even Moluo admires Cook very much.
"Your Excellency, your four entourages are not easy." Moreau began to test.
"Hehe, they are my followers, they are the Frost Titans who have awakened their talents." Cook explained with a smile.
Although Moro had long expected that the identities of these four followers were not simple, but the four awakened talented Frost Titans served as followers. I am afraid that few people in the God Realm have such great abilities. The Titans are one in the God Realm. Quite an incredible race, even the arrogant dragon has to give the Titan a face.
The dragons of the other races are not in the eyes at all. It can be said that the dragons are a bunch of lunatics and rogues in the God Realm.
"They are magicweave equipment?" Moro saw the clue again.
"Haha, patched it up." Cook replied with a smile. In fact, the four of them are one of the few exquisite magicweave equipment. As for the repairs mentioned, it is only a disguise of West Asia.
Molo felt better, because Molo thought it was broken and repaired. Once the magic pattern equipment is damaged, it will be very troublesome to repair, and the power will be reduced a lot.
The three of them walked on the street like this. Molo didn't speak. Of course, Cook wouldn't speak first. Cook was a little excited. He might be the first to compete with an angelic person for endurance.
Finally Mo Luo couldn't help asking: "Cook, what's the matter with today's agreement?"
"Hehe, I can't bear to see the people of the Bright Empire die in vain again. Look at these people. With their dishes, most of the people wear patches and lose an average of 300,000 people per year. I don't know that the top leaders of the Bright Empire are cold-blooded. What's the matter? There are also tens of millions of gold coins each year. According to the statistics of the Mage Union, the average life expectancy of the Bright Empire is only 41 years old, which is ten years younger than the average age of the mainland. This is because of the labor of the Bright Empire. The intensity is high and the food is poor. What is causing the situation today? It is because of a small part of greed. The Bright Empire can only maintain the status quo for tens of thousands of years. What is the reason?" Cook originally wanted to say the high-sounding , But later unconsciously accused the Bright Empire.
"Cook, this is not a clear explanation in one sentence." Although Molo did not know what was going on, it was impossible for Molo to say that she did not know, so she had to sloppy.
Cook sighed helplessly and said, "Molo~EbookFREE.me~ Is this how the God of Light treats his followers?"
"Cook, don't talk nonsense." Moreau shouted to Cook. Regarding the words of the God of Light, this is suspected of blasphemy.
"Hmph, I'm really sad for the people born in the Light Empire, Molo, don't believe you go and see what life is like for the people in the Dark Empire, what about you? For the slightest benefit in front of you, you dare to change the future of the entire empire It's all over, I don't know why this empire exists?" Cook hummed coldly.
"Your Lord Baron!" Moro was really angry.
"Ms. Morrow, I have submitted the agreement. As for whether you agree or disagree, I will only give you two days to consider. I will leave as soon as two days pass." Said.
Then Cook said again: "Don't want to keep me, you should know that I have a good relationship with the dragon, and there is also a Frost Titan tribe in my territory."
Looking at Cook's leaving back, Molo felt bitter. She didn't expect things to turn out to be like this. What was it for? Molo turned her head and left. Molo had to carefully check what Cook said. meaning.
