Spreading his hands again, Tony spoke directly to Edward, while Edward spoke with a slightly frown.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"You should know that the nun who has been in the limelight recently in the Church of the God's Coming Mountain has been appointed as the Holy Relic Inspector, and she has chosen your place as the first stop of her pilgrimage..."
"Sister? Are you referring to Vanya Chafilon? Adus and Xia Shu's savior, the treasure of the Redemption Sect? You want me to do something to her? This is no different from declaring war on the church." Edward said to Tonyk in a serious tone, and Tonyk immediately shook his head and spoke.
"We don't plan on having you do anything overtly to that nun. What we need is for you to take advantage of the opportunity when she comes to your sister's place to influence her secretly. To put it bluntly, we want you to corrupt her unconsciously. We will give you some drugs and gifts. When you meet the nun, find a way to mix them into her food and let her take them. Then give her the gifts.
"These things... are seeds that induce the nun to become corrupt. As long as she accepts these seeds, we can use this as an opportunity to gradually start our corruption plan. This corruption process will be long. It will take a long time for Vanya to accept these seeds and eventually become one of us. Even if she is finally discovered to be abnormal by the church after being corrupted, that will be a long time in the future. During this period, the itinerant nun has been to countless places and experienced countless things. No one knows where she encountered this initial corruption... It can't threaten you..."
With a slight smile, Tony said to Edward that his plan actually had another hidden point, which was to let Edward have a handle in his hand. After having the handle, Edward would not be able to jump left and right so casually in the future cooperation. After having the handle, Edward would be more easily controlled by Haiyuan.
After listening to Tony's proposal, Edward instantly understood the other party's intention, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he thought silently and began to think carefully. Seeing Edward's appearance, Tony was not in a hurry, but just stood below and waited.
Finally... after thinking for a while, Edward slowly focused his gaze and stared at Tony before speaking again.
"I can't make a decision right now. Let me think about it for a few days."
"Yes, then you can think about it carefully. You will have time to think about it until that person leaves Mon Carlo. I will wait patiently for your reply here... Captain Blood Wave..."
Tony said this, then he bowed to Edward and slowly retreated.
…
A few days later, still in Moncarlo's Junhai Castle, in Edward's audience hall, Tony was still standing on the red carpet in the hall, in his original position, looking up at the old man sitting on the throne, and spoke slowly with a calm expression.
"Have you considered it? Captain, it's been seven days... You've been bargaining with me every day, but I can still tell you now that our request remains the same, to plant the seeds of corruption for the relief nun... Otherwise, there's no talk of the Fountain of Youth!"
Tony said loudly to Edward, but Edward did not respond directly to Tony's words. Instead, he sat on his throne and stared at him silently.
"Now that the nun has arrived at your territory... why are you still hesitating? Let me think... you don't think that the nun came to Mon Carlo... to bring some secret mission from the Holy Mountain, right? For example, you think she brought something to extend your life, and if the Holy Mountain comes to save you, you don't have to be threatened by me...
"I met your son when I came here... He should be the one you sent to accompany the nun, right? So did the nun reveal any secrets to you? Or did she discover the secret contact between the Church and you? Or did they have some way to mercifully extend your life... So they sent the nun to bring him here?"
Seeing that Edward did not respond, Tonic continued to speak in the same high-pitched tone. Hearing Tonic's words, Edward's mouth twitched slightly, and then he lowered his eyebrows and looked at Tonic's simple words.
"No... the nun didn't mention anything about me... she just came here to start her pilgrimage..."
Edward said in a deep voice. Hearing his words, Tonik was slightly startled, then he spoke directly with a smile.
"Haha! Of course, you've been abandoned by them! Edward, you're just an uncontrollable and unstable factor to them. They've long disliked you, but they didn't want to touch you because of your great contribution in the past. Now they're finally killing you. They wish you'd die sooner, so how could they send someone to extend your life? When you die, your useless children won't have the strength you have. Mon Carlo will just have to wait to become a puppet of Shenglin Mountain or the mainland royal family!"
Tony spoke in a high-profile manner. His words were very unpleasant to Edward, but they were all true. Although Edward's expression became more and more ugly, he did not say a word in return.
"Accept your fate. If you want to live now, just beg the Church of God! Return to the embrace of the Abyss, and you will be with Him again, until you witness us once again raising a tsunami of revenge against Mount Saint! The greatest cult is now gradually approaching under the inspiration of the Lord, and the reunion of the Abyss and His brothers is just around the corner. You need to choose your position in the next great wave..."
Tony continued to speak to Edward, his voice filled with an arrogance that was difficult to conceal. Looking at Tony in front of him, Edward, who had been silent for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke slowly.
"I accept the conditions of the Divine Church and help you sow the seeds of corruption for the nun who is doing charity work. Then... where is the fountain of youth?"
When the survival of his own life was in the hands of the other party, Edward had no room for bargaining. He was forced to accept Tony's proposal. When Tony heard Edward's surrender, the smile on his face became even more evil.
"Hehe... The fountain of youth is of course not in my body now, but in the body of Lord Jianlin. He is also Moncarlo now. Only I can contact him in a special way.
"Since you have agreed to our conditions, you need to go and perform the duties. After the duties are completed, Master Jianlin will find an opportunity to verify your success."
“How can he verify it?”
"The specific verification method is none of your business. You just need to invite her to attend the auction in three days after you have done what you need to do. That is the largest gathering of upper-class people in Moncarlo in recent times. Lord Jianlin will also secretly attend the auction and contact the nun in his own way to verify your identity. After the verification is correct, he will hand the item to you in a way that will definitely not arouse suspicion from others..."
Tony replied to Edward with a smile, while Edward rubbed his temple, wondering what was going on in his mind.
On the other side of the hall, a pure white little fox was sitting here. It watched everything that had just happened in the hall from beginning to end, with an undisguised surprise in its eyes.
In the real world, Dorothy sat on the sofa in her room, recalling the dream scene she saw through the little fox's senses, and she couldn't help but frown and mutter.
"Is it also the auction in three days?"
