Hulkkin put on his disguise again, and then walked out of the safe house. He saluted into the house, then gently closed the door, and finally strode away in high spirits.

It snowed on the street outside, which was a rare sight for the Golden Valley, which is located at a low latitude. The residents of the city walked out of their homes one after another and looked at the snowflakes in the sky in surprise. Hulkkin lowered the brim of his hat and lowered his head.

He kept his head down and passed by passers-by.

Suddenly Helkin stopped and looked up at the city covered with a thin layer of snow. He took a long breath and his eyes were full of passion. Snow was familiar to him who was born in the winter capital.

No matter how familiar things were, the snow made his body restless. It was a long-lost impulse, as if he had joined the ice cave and received his first mission.

This decision...

The victory is vigorous!

Defeat is also spectacular!

Hulkkin took a deep breath, lowered his head again and walked forward, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

The meeting with Pan went very smoothly.

Under Pan's active operation, Potrovich, the chairman of the Yate County Federation, finally entered the Shuojin Elders' House as he wished and explained to the Shuojin elders the situation in which the County Federation urgently needed assistance.

Pan actively lobbied, saying that Yuexing was using the news to build momentum at this time, and was clearly ignoring the internal affairs of the Shuojin people. It was simply too arrogant to describe the serious crimes he committed as the violence of the Shuojin people, and did not take the Shuojin people in their eyes.

.

"The Council of Elders can no longer condone Yue Xing. Shuo Jinren's tolerance is regarded as cowardice by him. If Shuo Jin people don't take some action, Yue Xing will only become more indulgent and infringe upon Shuo Jin people's interests step by step!"

The Shuojin people have indeed reached the limit of their tolerance for what Luke has done in the Golden Valley during this period. Especially when Yin violated a taboo but was not punished, it was a very low-key approach on the part of the Shuojin people. Now it is being promoted by Luke

Everyone knows that there are already unstable emotions within the Shuojin people.

Since the Yate County League is so proactive in investing in the Shuojin people, then giving the Yate County League a suitable amount of funding can effectively warn the meteorite and get him to come to the Elder's House as soon as possible.

Soon the World Bank announced that it would jointly establish a "Steam Energy Development Company" with Yate County. Its business is to redevelop the geothermal steam system owned by Yate County and create cheaper and more efficient steam energy.

The World Bank injected the first capital of 200,000 gold coupons into the "Steam Energy Development Company", which was used to purchase corresponding equipment from all over the world.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the Golden Valley.

Everyone knew that the Shuojin people finally took action under the pressure from the meteor.

And the move was a big one. Two hundred thousand gold coupons can be exchanged for currencies issued by various countries, and most of them can be exchanged for more than 10 billion. This money is nominally for rebuilding the Yate County Joint geothermal steam system, but it is not used to "use it to supply the whole country."

It can be seen from the message "World Purchase Corresponding Equipment" that this money is actually used to buy weapons for Yate County United.

Such a big fat piece of meat is so sizzling and oily that everyone wants to take a bite.

Then the room where the United Mission in Yate County stayed, which was almost ignored, immediately became crowded, and politicians turned into vendors, actively selling domestically produced "steam pipes" to Botrovich.

Correspondingly, the number of people visiting Luke decreased a lot.

Politicians don't talk about friendship. They only have interests in their eyes. The ready-made tickets in the hands of Art County Alliance are more tangible than the Golden Shield Empire's commitment to the future. So.

Moreover, the Shuojin people unequivocally support the Yate County Alliance. If the Golden Shield Empire cannot protect itself, what future does it have?

Luke has rarely had any leisure since arriving in the Golden Valley.

Yeomington came over anxiously: "Master Chief Assistant! We must do something, otherwise all the friends we finally won over will go to the Yate County United."

Luke sat by the window with his legs up on the coffee table, basking in the sun in an imageless manner. Regarding Yaomington's impatience, he said calmly: "People who run wherever there are benefits will never do it."

They are friends. It is very simple to want them to come over. If I give them enough benefits, they will naturally come to my place.

But this kind of profit-sharing competition is not our area of ​​expertise, nor is it something smart people would do."

Luke's calmness allowed Yomington to stabilize his mood, and he asked: "Has the Chief Assistant already thought of a countermeasure?"

"No!" Luke said cheerfully: "This kind of thing is not enough for me to deal with. We should continue our rhythm. Anyway, our energy trading does not recognize gold coupons. The Shuojin people print so many gold coupons. Sooner or later,

It will backfire."

Yaomington thought for a moment.

Countries are very happy in the short term when they earn gold coupons from Art County's alliance. But as long as the Reich insists on linking it to the Energy Mark, the Reichsmark will be able to gradually squeeze out the gold coupon market in international trade.

In the long run, countries will find that the gold coupons in their hands can buy less and less things. In order to prevent gold coupons from rotting in their own treasury, countries will definitely use gold coupons to run on gold.

And are the Shuojin people really going to issue as many gold certificates as they have gold reserves, as they promised?

of course not!

The more deeply he understands the international market, the more Yomington feels the power of the Energy Mark policy proposed by Meteor. It seems that all problems can be solved by playing this card.

"I understand, Mr. Chief Assistant. I will go and appease my colleagues now..." Ruo

"No!" Luke called out to Yomington, who was about to go out: "I think we can show a certain amount of panic to match the Sparkling Man's performance.

Make an appointment with the Shuojin elders for me.

Shuojin people will continue to throw money when they see that throwing money is effective."

Yaomington laughed: "Master Chief Assistant is still good at fooling your opponents as always."

Meteorite, the chief auxiliary of the Golden Shield Empire, finally had time to meet with the elders of the Shuojin people.

This was a victory for the Shuojin people. Even though the meteor was rumored to be powerful, it was nothing more than that. In the face of absolute power, all his little tricks were just bluffing jokes.

Giving Yate County Joint District 200,000 gold coupons will make Yue Xing anxiously come to see him. If he gives a little more, he will not agree to all the conditions.

The Shuojin people allowed Meteorite, the chief auxiliary of the Golden Shield Empire, to enter the Golden Valley and go to the Elders' House to meet the Shuojin elders.

Luke takes a vehicle arranged by the Shuojin people through the city and into the valley.

There are two different worlds inside and outside the valley. The city receives tourists and businessmen from all over the world. The bustling city has the latest fashion and the most advanced equipment. But inside the valley, it is as simple as a primitive tribe.

Under the cliff, there are huts made of stones. There is no electricity, no running water, no steam, and no modern things.

All Shuojin people who receive training in the valley must live this kind of austere life. They wear rough linen clothes, eat food grown and hunted by themselves, and their spare time activity is to go into the mines to collect gold.

The monotonous and austere life of an ascetic monk allows young Shuojin people to not be affected by material things and spend all their energy on cultivation and spiritual training. They get along with gold here to strengthen their relationship with Shuojin people.

The connection between the artifact Golden Compass; here they learn how to maintain a state of mind without desires, so that after they enter the secular world, they can quickly find peace in their hearts amidst the temptation of materialistic desires.

The Shuojin people do not have the innately powerful physiques of angels, dragons, demons, and shadow tribes. They can firmly occupy the top spot among the five ancient civilizations because each of them obeys the entire group. They suppress their selfish desires.

At the lowest level, everything is for the continuation of the race...

Luke looked at the scene outside in the car, reassessing the strength of the Sparkling Man in his mind.

This is a strong opponent.

The special car arrived at the Presbytery. This is a circular open-air venue. The venue is built of common stones in the valley, with a simple and primitive style. However, on the high platform surrounding the venue, there are thirteen seats made of gold, which are shining with golden light.

The appearance formed a strong contrast with the venue.

Luke walked to the middle of the venue.

There are twelve old men sitting on the thirteen golden seats. They are the elders who manage the entire Shuojin civilization. Because Elder Chun was assassinated, there is one missing temporarily.

The elders of the Shuojin people have no higher or lower status. They have the same status in the elders' house. Every time an elders meeting is held, the elders of the Shuojin people vote to decide on a presiding officer. They also vote to decide whenever there is a disagreement.

The minority obeys the majority, and the individual obeys the collective.

This is the law of the Shuojin people.

Since this time we were hosting Meteor, the chief auxiliary of the Golden Shield Empire, Elder Mu was elected as the presiding elder of the Elders House.

Elder Mu and other elders all wore homemade linen clothes and self-knitted straw sandals. There were no extra accessories on their clothes, only the gold rings around their necks showed their status as elders.

The Shiner warrior wearing golden armor brought a golden chair for Luke.

I don't know when Pan came in. He stood silently on the edge of the venue with a very pious expression.

After Luke sat down, the elder shepherd said with a smile: "Dear Chief Minister of Meteor Star. It would be really difficult to meet you. If we hadn't jointly established the 'Steam Energy Development Company' with Yate County Alliance,

, I really don’t know how long we have to wait.”

Luke immediately protested: "The main reason why I made excuses not to see you is... on the first day I arrived in the Golden Valley, I suffered the neglect of the Shuojin people. So.

As the chief assistant of the Golden Shield Empire, I was a guest invited to the Golden Valley by the Shuojin people. However, before I entered the hotel room, someone was able to enter and wait for me. This greatly threatened my safety and was a threat to the Golden Shield Empire.

contempt and hurt.

My staff have protested to the Shuojin people many times, but you have not given me an explanation or apology, so I postponed the meeting.

However, the Shuojin people did not learn from their mistakes. Instead, they violated the World Bank's principle of not launching new cooperation with warring countries and blatantly funded the enemies who invaded the Golden Shield Empire.

Is this the sincerity of the Shuojin people in inviting me to the Golden Valley?"

Luke protested sternly, and when he was extremely angry, he couldn't help but slap the armrest of the seat so hard that the hard gold was deformed by the slap.

As for the opening of this negotiation, Shuojin people have already prepared for it.

Elder Mu asked Pan: "Why did you wait in the room of the chief minister of the meteorite before he entered his room? Did you explain it to the chief minister of the meteorite?"

Pan saluted Elder Mu, and then replied: "I have already explained it to the chief minister of Meteor Star."

Elder Mu did not continue to ask, but said to Luke: "Since Pan has already explained, I think the Shuojin people do not need to respond to your protest.

As for the 'Steam Energy Development Company', that was the cooperation we had already negotiated with Yate County United before you went to war with Yate County United, and it does not violate the rules of the World Bank.

First Assistant of the Meteor Star, these are all misunderstandings and trivial matters... You should have no objections, right?"

The Shuojin man made it clear that he was shameless this time, and Luke also knew that there was no big objection to arguing in this aspect.

"Okay, it's whatever you say it is."

Elder Mu smiled and said: "Since the Chief Minister of Meteor Star has no objections, let's start talking about the purpose of inviting you to Golden Valley this time."

Luke said: "Those two things can be dismissed like this, but are you going to talk to me like this?"

Elder Mu asked: "If we don't talk like this, how else can we talk about it?"

Luke chuckled and said: "Look at the positions of both of us. You elders of the Shuojin people are sitting high up, and I am surrounded by you and sitting in the middle. I can't help but wonder... this is a reciprocal negotiation.

?

Why do I feel like a criminal is on trial."

Pan said from the side: "Yixing, you are really a criminal to the Shuojin civilization. The fact that you have a chair to sit on now is the preferential treatment given to you by the Shuojin people."

Which pot should I not open and lift?

The Shuojin elders do not want to connect the two matters at this time. What is important now is to solve the energy and monetary policy of the Golden Shield Empire. And Yin needs to be resolved separately because it involves Elf Qingkong. So.

Now that Pan has suddenly brought this matter up on such an occasion, isn't he looking for trouble?

But the elders cannot yet reprimand Pan for this.

The venue fell into an awkward atmosphere.

After a while, Luke saw that none of the Shuojin elders spoke, so he broke the silence and said: "Since Pan mentioned this matter, I think we should resolve Yin's matter first. Only by clearing my name,

Only then can I face the Shuojin people as a normal person."

Pan sneered and said: "You still want to clear your name? Now the whole world knows that you let Yin be emotional, violated the Shuojin people's taboos, and even caused me to be kicked out of Shuojin civilization."

Luke crossed his legs and said: "Pan. Now the whole world knows that it was you who betrayed your twin sister! It was not me who made Yin fall in love... Can you provide evidence?"

Pan didn't expect that Yuexing would want to overturn the verdict in this matter. He said angrily: "You are the one who thinks about everything in my heart, how dare you not admit it?"

Elder Mu also said: "Yixing, you personally admitted your relationship with Yin."

Luke smiled and said: "Did I admit it? I just asked you not to hurt Yin, but I didn't admit that I had an affair with her. It was friendship, not love...

Moreover, I have been dating the eldest princess of the empire, Agatha. If I have an affair with another woman, do you think the eldest princess of the empire will spare me?"

Pan shouted angrily: "You still dare to quibble?"

Luke's expression changed instantly. He stared at Pan and asked, "Am I the one who Yin said made her attracted?"

Pan realized something was wrong, and he said emotionally: "She didn't say it, but I know it's you!"

Luke said: "Actually, ever since I learned that Yin violated the Shuojin people's taboo, I have always had a question. Is Yin really in love with someone, or is she being framed? If she was framed, why

She didn't defend herself.

Who in this world can make her willing to endure this kind of grievance?

As for you or Yin, whose mood fluctuates more...I think the elders should see it more clearly than me."

All the elders looked at Xiang Pan together.

Pan's face was pale, his whole body was shaking and he was speechless.
