"Moreover, there are still many enemy warships in the distance."

Jiang Tian made up some more stories.

Charles IX was now completely convinced of this.

"My friend, thank you for telling me this news."

"Alright, you can stay in the capital."

"I'll contact you again if anything comes up." Jiang Tian slowly stood up.

"Since Your Majesty wishes, then I shall take my leave." Since the other party has already given the order to leave, there is no need to stay any longer.

Let's see how Charles IX handles this matter.

If Charles IX doesn't handle this matter well, Jiang Tian will have to add more trouble for them.

They were escorted by the King's Guard throughout the journey.

Jiang Tian and his group left the palace.

"Gentlemen... we plan to stay here. Our merchant ship is at sea, and we have a large amount of supplies that we can bring here to sell." Jiang Tian reached into his pocket and took out ten gold coins, giving them to the captain of the palace guard.

"We have come from afar and are unfamiliar with this place. We hope you can help us find some places to stay. There are more than 100 of us here, as well as two big tigers."

We hope Your Excellency can arrange for us a place not far from the palace, preferably with a particularly spacious courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the king's guard nodded, turning the coins over and over in his hand.

"That's not a problem."

“My home is not far from the palace, and there is a spacious courtyard there. As long as you can afford it, everything is negotiable.”

Jiang Tian nodded: "No problem at all, my friend. I haven't asked your name yet."

"The Monte Cristo..."

Wow, what a coincidence that the name is chosen!

Jiang Tian cursed inwardly.

"Hello, Monte Cristo, my old friend."

The captain of the palace guard escorted Jiang Tian out of the palace and headed straight for his own courtyard.

Indeed, just as Monte Cristo had said, the courtyard was very spacious.

There are dozens of rooms.

It can accommodate more than 100 people without any problem.

"The main building in my courtyard is that building. If you don't mind, you can stay on the top floor. You can see the whole street clearly from there."

Jiang Tian led his men straight to that building.

"Are there any other people in this courtyard? I don't want to be disturbed while I'm getting ready."

Monte Cristo smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, rest assured, since I have rented this courtyard to you, I will not allow anyone else to live here."

"How much money do I need if I plan to stay for two months?"

The Count of Monte Cristo held up two fingers.

"20 gold coins. But don't think it's expensive. Looking around the entire casino, no one has a courtyard as nice as mine, and no one has a courtyard as cheap as mine."

Twenty gold coins were a small amount for Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian now has mountains of gold and silver piled up in his system warehouse.

Jiang Tian nodded.

“My friend, your price is absolutely fair. When my ship docks, I will definitely give you a big gift.”

Jiang Tian pulled out 50 gold coins from his pocket without hesitation.

He placed all 50 gold coins in the hands of Monte Cristo.

The 50 gold coins were packed in a heavy bag.

Monte Cristo examined the 50 gold coins inside the bag carefully.

"My friend, I only need 20 gold coins here. You've given me too much money. Take the rest."

Although Monte Cristo said this, his eyes remained fixed on the gold coins, filled with nothing but greed.

"Don't worry, my friend." Jiang Tian smiled slightly. "In my opinion, your yard is worth this much money. You can have all of it."

I hope you'll continue to take care of me in the future.

Upon hearing Jiang Tian's words, Monte Cristo quickly put the bag full of gold coins into his pocket.

“My friend who has come from afar, you are the most generous person I have ever met. Please tell me what you need, and I will do my best to help you.”

You can stay here peacefully. Don't worry, no one can hurt you, no one can disturb you.

Led by the Christ the Redeemer, Jiang Tian headed straight for the fifth floor.

Just as this guy said.

The fifth floor is incredibly spacious, offering a panoramic view of most of the street.

This place has a good view.

After everyone had made the arrangements...

The Count of Monte Cristo extended an invitation to Jiang Tian to have lunch together.

Jiang Tian readily agreed.

For lunch, they ate black bread and steak.

They were drinking red wine.

However, just by smelling the wine, you can tell that its quality is not good.

“Mr. Monte Cristo…may I ask you something?” Jiang Tian asked politely.

"My friend, feel free to ask me anything. I will answer everything I know."

The Count of Monte Cristo was very generous.

“I have heard that the Russian Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom are eyeing you covetously and are ready to attack at any time.”

"I'm a businessman, and all I want is to do business peacefully and without being disturbed by war between two countries."

"In the eyes of people like us, only lasting peace is the most precious thing."

Upon hearing this, Monte Cristo smiled slightly: "It is said that the Rakshasa Kingdom has been almost completely destroyed. They no longer have the strength to fight us. If they were to fight us, they would only be courting their own demise."

We already know that the Frankish army is almost wiped out.

The Frankish Kingdom suffered heavy losses when it attacked the Russian Kingdom; it is said that their 500,000-strong army was almost entirely wiped out.

For the Frankish Kingdom, he was the most wronged.

Their country has a powerful military and advanced weaponry?

This country's fighting strength is among the best in all of Europe.

"But for some reason, they suddenly launched an attack on the Rakshasa Kingdom, which resulted in a crushing defeat."

"However, the fact that both countries have suffered heavy losses is a rare opportunity for our German Empire."

We are the Manchu Empire, and we have always wanted to bring these two countries under our control.

Now God has given us a chance. Let's seize this opportunity without hesitation.

"This time we must take back both of these countries. If we do that, the territory of our Ma Empire will increase dozens of times."

Our Germanic Empire will become the largest empire in Europe. At that time, who in all of Europe will be able to withstand us?

"As far as I know, Buckingham Palace has a powerful army under its command, and this army's combat strength is among the best in all of Europe," Jiang Tian said, glancing at Monte Cristo.
