"Teacher Jinuo, what do you think of my trick?"

Jinuo's nose felt sore, and he subconsciously retorted:

"This is indeed a great progress for you."

This was the highest compliment he could give.

Louis didn't make things difficult for him.

He just smiled and waved the weapon in his hand and said:

"Hopefully this is the journey to Tunisia and everything will go well."

Gino smiled and said, "What else could possibly happen?"

Even though only two years have passed, the overall situation of the Enther Empire is much better than before.

The most dangerous time has passed, and the empire is prosperous.

Most of the evil spirits based in the empire have curled up their minions, fearing that they will become the next target of the empire's attack.

He didn't believe that anyone would dare to attack the empire at this time.

Louis immediately stopped him and said, "No, teacher, don't say such things casually. In my hometown, those who dare to say such things often get into trouble."

Jinuo laughed and said, "You believe in this kind of superstition?"

Louis said seriously, "Just to make myself feel at ease."

…

Soon it was the time Louis and Olivia had agreed to go out.

In front of the teleportation array, Beatrice slowly helped him fix his collar, then walked to the little swan, rubbed her little head slowly and said:

"Everything will be up to Louis and Lumi this time. Don't walk around alone."

The little swan pouted and said:

"I know. I am very capable now. Why should I worry?"

Beatrice said seriously, "I am worried because you have such thoughts."

She looked at Louis again and said:

"Take good care of my sister."

Louis nodded.

After saying that, the two of them did not stay any longer and stepped into the teleportation array with the accompanying convoy.

…

【Location: Royal Capital, Tunisia】

It has been several days since Louis and his party left the empire.

Louis and his companions were not able to go to the capital as soon as possible as before.

Because Olivia received an invitation to go to the large wizard tower in central Tunisia to explore the completion of the digital water vapor transport model.

When Louis heard about this, he followed them.

The digital water vapor transport model is part of the Giant River Project.

The original intention of this plan is to control the changes in atmospheric ocean currents through magical means, so as to more efficiently predict weather changes in surrounding areas.

Now the first phase of the Juhe Project has begun.

In the Enther Empire, because the White Tower had already known the empire's plans for the next few years, it had already arranged a digital water vapor transportation model.

But Louis had thought that Tunisia would not act so quickly.

After all, generally speaking, when two countries cooperate, they want to reach a complete consensus, so they will inevitably have to argue for a while.

But they finished faster than Louis thought.

As a result, the group stayed in the Mage Tower in central Tunisia for several days and only arrived in the royal capital now.

Soon after he was brought to the royal capital, he received a message from Master Rom.

"Sir, this is arranged for you."

At this time, Louis, who was staying in the hotel, had changed into Mayer's clothes and said to Master Rom:

“Well done.”

This time he came to Tunisia, he still had two identities, just like before.

But it was different from the previous trip with Beatrice and her group.

At present, the Meyer Chamber of Commerce has not yet entered into any national-level business cooperation with Tunisia.

In other words, it was not convenient for him to come with the Imperial Prince as Mayer.

In addition, the number of people traveling this time was relatively small.

If there is even one person missing from the delegation, it will be immediately noticed.

In order to prevent someone smart from linking Mayer's real identity with Louis, he asked Rob to forge evidence of his activities in other small countries.

Then he arranged for a substitute to disguise himself as him and teleport from that small country to Tunisia.

In this way, "Mr. Mayer" will set foot on Tunisian soil in a private capacity, and will not be deeply tied to Louis and his group and receive unnecessary attention.

But he didn't expect that not long after he arrived, he received a letter from Joseph Williams sent to his house.

Cygnet leaned over and tried to peek at the letter Williams had delivered.

Louis slapped her in the face and pushed her back.

"Stop it, I want to see what's going on."

This time they traveled and stayed in a hotel specially designed to receive VIPs.

It’s not like Louis didn’t make fixed investments with the money he earned during this period.

In the identity of Mayer, he made relevant applications to the Royal Capital Real Estate Center of the Republic of Tunisia, hoping to have a place to stay here.

When the Williams family learned about this, they offered to help.

In short, after complex and meticulous means, a dilapidated mansion of the Earl's family was taken away.

After purchasing the house, Louis arranged for the director of the local Meyer Chamber of Commerce to be responsible for renovating the house.

Now that Louis came, he used the excuse that "I had already made an agreement with Mr. Mayer" to move into the house which had always been taken care of.

However, what surprised him was that Joseph Williams did not contact him immediately, but chose to contact Mayer first.

It is unlikely that he knew Mayer's true identity, but he was so urgent that he might have something to ask for help.

Sure enough, after opening the letter, he saw a line of text on it.

Dear Mr. Meyer:

"His Royal Highness has warmly introduced you to me before, a senior who has achieved outstanding results in the business field."

"I received a sudden letter today. I'm sure you are also confused about it."

"But in recent times, there have been incomprehensible circumstances in the West Plains, and the Williams family would like to have a face-to-face communication with you on this matter."

"If you have time, I will personally come to your house tomorrow to explain the details to you."

Olivia asked curiously:

"Are you in touch with that kid Joseph?"

Louis shook his head and said, "At least under Mayer's identity, there is not much contact, but I did tell him that I would recommend Mayer to meet him when I have time."

He thought about it for a moment.

Apparently, something was amiss inside Tunisia.

As a long-established powerful family in Tunisia, the Williams family is obviously very familiar with the relevant secret information of the upper class.

But it was hard for Louis to imagine what kind of problems there would require a businessman like him to solve?

He thought for a moment, and the bored little swan had already poured ink for him, handed him the quill and said:

"Are you going to promise him?"

"It's hard to say whether I will agree or not, but I have to go over and see what they are planning."

Little Swan pondered, "Tunisia's intelligence agencies are quite excellent and have left a great reputation in the past."

"Perhaps they have already noticed the commotion in Giant Plains."

Louis also suspected that it was related to this matter.

"I just hope they won't really treat me as a fool."

…

Day 2.

Joseph Williams arrived as promised.

Louis, wearing a clown mask, entertained him in the living room.

Louis smiled and said, "How could that be? I am very satisfied with this house. I am really grateful for your trouble to be able to successfully snatch the purchase right from other nobles."

Sometimes you can’t buy what you want just by having money.

It only works if there are relevant purchasing channels.

Of course, if the price Louis offers is high enough that others simply cannot refuse, that would be another matter.

But his sin is greed.

How could I let others take advantage of me?

Therefore, the help of the Williams family played a very important role.

Joseph Williams sighed and said:

"Thank you for your recognition of our family. I just wonder if the Meyer Chamber of Commerce has received news in other areas recently."

"For example... the Troll Tribe is significantly increasing the amount of food it purchases from outside?"

Louis narrowed his eyes and said, "We haven't done any detailed research on this matter."

——This is a lie.

After Louis suspected that there were unusual movements on the Giant Plains, he mobilized the Mayer Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network without hesitation to investigate the surrounding logistics and transportation conditions.

Although it is impossible to directly investigate the team that transports food to the Troll Tribe, judging from the fluctuations in the average food prices in the surrounding countries, the food prices in almost all countries around the outer circle of the Giant Plains will increase slightly.

This year is not a disaster year.

Even because of the good weather, the overall grain output has increased significantly.

A slight drop in prices is reasonable.

But it’s not right if the surrounding countries are all rising overall.

certainly.

It takes time to compile such detailed data.

And it requires the cooperation of peers.

Although it is not impossible for the Republic of Tunisia to investigate these data, their appeal in the business field is indeed not as strong as that of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

Joseph Williams lowered his head and said, "Please help investigate the relevant situation. If there is a strange upward trend in various countries, please send someone to inform us."

"I have another important report."

Louis's mouth curled up slightly:

"Not the Williams family, but are you paying?"

Joseph was startled, then said solemnly:

"Yes, because my father disagrees with me."

"There aren't many people I can ask for help, and you're the only one who has this ability."

Louis put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Can you tell me what judgment you made and what conclusions you tried to draw from my intelligence?"

Joseph pondered for a moment and finally said:

"Please allow me to introduce my current situation."

"Recently, I graduated from the Royal Knight Academy and successfully entered the Border Knights for internship."

"The Williams family has never lacked knights throughout the generations."

"My eldest sister also serves in the Border Knights."

"But in recent days, she has discovered that the members of the trolls that have invaded the border seem to be frequently rotated. In less than a month, she has not seen the original faces again."

“It’s something that really concerns me.”

Louis' mouth twitched slightly:

"Your eldest sister can tell what a troll looks like."

It's just like if you put all the Ni people in a row, showing only their faces, there wouldn't be many that would leave an impression at a glance.

Not to mention the trolls, it is even more difficult to distinguish their appearance across races.

Joseph coughed and said:

"My brother-in-law lost an arm fighting a troll, and since then my eldest sister has had the habit of chopping off the heads of her enemies and making them into specimens."

"Maybe it's because I've seen so many specimens and know how to tell their appearances apart."

Louis was speechless for a while, and finally could only say:

"My eldest sister really has the bravery and strength that has been passed down from generation to generation in Tunisia."

The two looked at each other and finally lowered their heads silently.

It was Louis who broke the delicate atmosphere:

"It is indeed unusual for border forces to frequently change personnel."

Joseph nodded and said:

"Trolls are not an undisciplined race like the kobolds. They have a strict set of rules within themselves."

"Although the ecology is very different from ours, there will never be a situation where personnel are easily rotated."

"Their combat teams are fixed and have been working together for a long time."

"This rotation means great unrest within the Troll Horde."

"And their troops on the border are still in good order, which means that there are people inside who have strong control over the tribe."

“I also looked into recent food price data from Tunisian chambers of commerce and found that food prices have risen slightly since a month ago.”

“There are also secret channels to get food out of the country.”

Having said that, Louis didn't say anything else, but just asked: "What can you give in return?"

Joseph said calmly: "All I can give now."

Louis said in surprise:

"Are you sure? You are the next generation heir of the Williams family."

Joseph shook his head and said:

“It has nothing to do with the heirs, I am Tunisian and I will never allow my country to be unnecessarily involved in the war of trolls.”

Louis smiled and said, "What if the other party is determined to start a war?"

Joseph's mouth curled up slightly: "The Troll Tribe has not had any intention of starting a war in recent years. This is what I have been studying at the Royal Knights Academy in recent years."

"So I just need to take out the guy who came up with this idea."

Louis laughed and said, "You want to use the ultimate force."

In a certain IF of Greedy Diary, Tunisia launched unknown weapons at neighboring countries before being trampled by the troll horde.

This eventually led to a major melee in the local area.

There is also a small word mentioned under the relevant content.

It is said that several major families in the Republic of Tunisia also have hidden small-scale disposable unknown weapons.

Although Louis didn't know the specific effect of the weapon, he at least knew one thing: if several Tunisian families were really in desperate situations, they might really use that high-risk weapon.

But no one would have expected that Joseph Williams, who was specifically mentioned in the future diary, would be so bold as to resort to beheading people.

Without this thing, Williams' strategic deterrence to several other families of the same level in the empire will be greatly reduced.

If such a choice is made only for the purpose of maintaining family interests, it will undoubtedly be a failure.

But from the perspective of the Republic of Tunisia, this is actually a major benefit.

In recent years, the magic industry has been relatively developed, but there is an extreme lack of civilian industry.

Because of the cooperation with the Enther Empire, the entire Tunisia was revitalized.

What they need most now is time. The longer the time goes, the more stable the originally turbulent situation will become.

The final weapon is unlikely to destroy the enemy's core forces.

But if it's just to kill a troll, it's really possible.

——Even if that troll is the King of Rage.

Louis then smiled and said:

"I accept your determination, but I don't intend to ask for any reward. Or rather... I don't want anything practical."

He looked at Joseph and said:

"I am greedy by nature. I would rather share the fruits of your growth than just money."

"Joseph, I want a promise from you."
