Just as Roland Hill was discussing with the mages of Rourna, a round of questioning began in the study of Tisifone's house.
"Wick, is that your order?"
Adeley looked at his righteous brother, frowning slightly. The assassination incident a few days ago quickly spread throughout the city. He thought about it, only the Tisifone family, which was his righteous brother. Can do it.
"Yes."
"Oh, when will it be your turn to help me make up my mind."
"I just don't want you to be seduced by beauty."
"So, you can decide for me at will? Then throw the whole family into the fire? You are very kind, my brother."
He remarked heavily on the words "Brother" that Wick was not a parent and son of the Tisifone family. He was only brought back by the old family's owner. .
It's usually fine, and his own abilities are also good. He often handles family affairs and has his own group of subordinates, but this action touched something that Adeley couldn't tolerate. It wasn't that he sent someone to assassinate Lacey, but the assassination of Lacey. He hadn't told himself about it at all.
A knife in his hand is naturally a good knife, but if he has his own ideas and does not obey orders, the knife will have no value in existence.
If it weren't for so many years of brotherhood and Wick's true loyalty, Aidley would have had the door cleared.

"I'll tell you again, I'm the heir of the Tisifone family, and any action will only be allowed after my permission, rather than sending someone to do it if you think it's okay, this will only bring great danger and conflict ."
"Understood, my brother." He repeated the word 'brother' again.
"I don't want to see one day when we can't be brothers." Aidley slammed his fingers on the solid wood desk, warned Wick, and slammed out the door.
Wick leaned back on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, covered his eyes with the backs of his hands, and remained silent.
After Aidley left the study, he asked the attendant to lead the carriage out.
"Where are you going, Master Adley?"
"Go to the alchemy workshop on Daffodil Street."
"Good."

"Sorry, the agreement proposed by your country is too harsh and we cannot accept it."
Roland Hill put down the contract paper in his hand, and a light voice spread throughout the quiet hall.
"Why not? Don't you know how excellent such technology is. If you cooperate with us, you can at least guarantee that your Karites family will be in the leading position in the shipbuilding industry for a hundred years."
"But it doesn't mean that you can get 70% of the profit by white."
"However, you are not the only chamber of commerce that can build ships, and we, Ruerna, are the only ones with such advanced technology." Master Braunton didn't care about Roland Hill's refutation. I can't figure out the key.
"We, Carrites, pay all the costs of raw materials, labor, facilities, etc. and manufacture them, and if you assign a small number of personnel for technical guidance, you will get 70% of the pure profit, and you will not take any risks and take the big money. It's great, isn't it?"
"Miss Lacey, please pay attention to your words. Now the Green Empire is showing signs of war again, and the seven countries of Xuehua must unite and work together to overcome difficulties. Why are you still so greedy, obsessed with immediate interests, and ignore the overall situation of the century ." A middle-aged male mage said.
"Once the Green Empire captures Luerna, Vergar is safe and will fall into the hands of the enemy at any time. What's the use of having tens of millions of family properties at that time?" Another mage next to him also began to help.
"If it wasn't for Cang Cui's idea of starting a war, you wouldn't be able to get in touch with Luerna's advanced technology and design concepts for 20 years. You should be lucky."
Roland Hill was so angry that he laughed. How should I put it? Sure enough, mages who have no business acumen dare to say this during negotiations. How confident is this? promise
"Then I'm even more embarrassed to take advantage of you. Look for whomever you like. Let's see which chamber of commerce is so lucky to be favored by you."
She stood up and left the conference hall through the corridor in the middle of the seats. Hundreds of people from the Karites Chamber of Commerce also followed the eldest lady and left the venue neatly.
Looking at the suddenly cold conference hall, Braunton's old face was a little bit unbearable. The previous good impression of this Miss Carrites was gone. How dare she do this? How could she just leave like this? Isn't it just to earn a little less money, to make myself seem noble. It is simply unreasonable, and women are irrational animals no matter their age.
--------------------------
Unexpected things happened. Rourna's delegation left after only 2 days in Hopelander. They went to Green Water Port, which is the headquarters of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, and the one who used to work with Karite. The loser of the competitive shipbuilding industry in Sri Lanka. Although the market share has been greatly reduced, it still exists tenaciously.
Three days later, the Dayas Chamber of Commerce happily accepted Rourna's delegation, and then began to laugh at the short-sighted and irrational Karites family.
Lorraine Hill didn't regret it at all. Although he had never seen the actual product, according to the drawings introduced by Luerna, their so-called new technology was just replacing the wooden boat with an iron one. After the propeller is changed, the structure of the entire hull will be greatly changed.
Moreover, their design ideals are too conservative. The hull is only about 80 meters long, and the weapons they carry are the cannons that are fixedly arranged on the side of the past, which is not much new.
If Lorraine Hill designed it, the final battleship Iowa-class, which was the culmination of World War II, was 270 meters long, had a displacement of about 50,000 tons, and had a 406 mm 50-times caliber main gun with a single shot, and it would be able to hold the small boat of Lourna in the middle. Break into pieces.
Although the current craftsmanship in the world of Ivar is not standard and accurate, the existence of extraordinary magic, the power of explosions and cannonballs, will only be greater than in the previous life.
With the current technology, Roland Hill deduces that Dayas will not be able to produce a test ship in a year at the earliest, and it is estimated that a mature design will be available in three years. And three years is enough for her to do too many things, and the kingdom of mages doesn't just refer to Ruerna, doesn't it
