Chapter 343: Meeting (Subscribe)
Just as Douglas said, this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
Douglas Hill first returned to his laboratory and recruited all his apprentices.
Then he wrote out invitations by hand and handed them to the apprentices.
These apprentices will deliver the invitations to the most powerful people in the entire city of Auckland.
Some of those who received the letter were confused, some were puzzled, some frowned, some were distressed, and some immediately sent people out to inquire about the news...
There were various reactions, but even the commanders of the most independent Church of the Seven Gods and the Seventh Mixed Legion made their stances clear.
It will definitely come tomorrow!
This is Roy's prestige!
In fact, he had neither an identity nor a clear position in Auckland City, but he was qualified. One invitation letter could get everyone moving.
Of course, Luo Yi didn't care about these.
He did not stay in the Mage Tower for too long, but took the sleeping Mrs. Linda back to 19 Lombard Street in Douglas' magic carriage.
Here he met Mrs. Lavinia Cassidy again.
I haven't seen Mrs. Cassidy for nearly two years. She is still in good health, but her eyesight is impaired and her vision is blurry.
When he saw Luo Yi, he moved closer to confirm her identity and immediately gave her a big hug and a hearty smile.
In a sense, she is now working for Luo Yi as the housekeeper of this house, and she receives a good salary every month.
It’s just that Luo Yi and the others are not here, and the little old lady is very lonely. She is really happy at this moment!
It is also because of this little old lady that the house, although uninhabited, is kept clean and tidy.
Luo Yi first used the 'levitation' scroll to send Mrs. Linda to the goose down bed to rest.
Then, he sat behind the desk, flipping through a book casually, savoring the tea and snacks sent by Mrs. Cassidy.
It was as if time had gone back to the past, and my slightly restless heart gradually calmed down.
Luo Yi is still very young, but that's not the case. He is more like an old man who likes to reminisce about the past.
He did not sleep that night, but just sat there to recuperate, thinking about what he was going to do in his mind.
As for Oliveira, he hid in the shadows, like the most dedicated guard, protecting Mrs. Linda's safety.
This situation continued until dawn, when a carriage appeared on the street corner.
But it was too early, and the owner of the carriage did not come forward, but waited there.
Then, one carriage after another appeared, more and more, forming a long queue.
At this time, Mrs. Linda finally woke up from her deep sleep. Perhaps it was because she had not slept so soundly for too long, and she was confused for a long time after opening her eyes.
It was not until she saw Luo Yi again that she sat up in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Luo Yi, you actually came."
"I'm here to pick you up to pick up the flowers, and of course, to complete Mr. Gary's commission."
"Gary? What the hell is wrong with that bastard Gary? How dare he just leave without saying goodbye?"
Mrs. Linda was very irritable, but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed. Roy repeated what he knew.
Even after he stopped talking, Mrs. Linda still couldn't let it go: "We are husband and wife, and our marriage vows are that no matter poverty or wealth, illness or hardship, we must face it together.
How dare he? How dare he leave without saying goodbye?
"Mrs. Linda!"
Luo Yi raised his voice, even bringing out a bit of the soul-shaking power of "Dragon's Might Blooming", which calmed her down.
At this time, Luo Yi said: "I think Teacher Gary's choice is right."
"I don't know what happened to Teacher Gary, but what needs to be faced must be faced, and only by facing the problem can it be solved.
And, don’t worry!
He has the Thousand Faces Mask in his hand, coupled with his accurate marksmanship, if he wants to escape, even a fourth-level natural disaster will find it difficult to catch him."
"So, instead of worrying about Teacher Gary, why not solve your problem first."
After a pause, Luo Yi continued, "Come back with me to get the flowers!
It just so happens that I'm getting married to Lilia, and she needs your help with all the wedding arrangements and the reception for the ladies."
Mrs. Linda pursed her lips: "But if I leave, Gary, if he..."
“He won’t be coming back here again. Once the matter is resolved, he will go directly to the Flower Collection to find you.
And, most importantly, if you stubbornly stay here and are captured by those dark forces, then Teacher Gary will be truly tied up and face a near-death experience."
"As for your Ortiz Pharmaceuticals, rest assured, I will find the most suitable manager to ensure your profits will only increase, not decrease."
"Okay, okay!"
In order to persuade Mrs. Linda, Roy tried his best to persuade her.
Fortunately, Mrs. Linda was not a stubborn person. After thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, she agreed.
After dealing with her, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was considered that he had solved the most uncontrollable problem of this trip.
Although there are still many things to do later, he doesn't find it difficult.
When the sun rose, Mrs. Cassidy had already prepared breakfast. After a quick bite, he began to receive the guests who had arrived.
Luo Yi was not familiar with these people, and there were too many of them, each with their own ideas and demands, which would become very troublesome.
Therefore, this time Luo Yi did not meet publicly, but met with them one by one in the study to communicate and exchange ideas.
The first person he met was Bud Petrovich, the current governor of Oakland and cousin of Baron Miller.
According to Baron Miller himself, his cousin is calm but lacks ability, kind-hearted but not decisive enough.
He can't do anything to expand the territory, but if it's a good 'foundation', it won't get worse when it's handed over to him.
This one is a typical city defender.
After the drastic cleanup by the two governors of the Petrovic family, the city of Oakland has been on the right track of development.
After various tones and policies are determined, what is needed is someone who acts in a "stable and balanced" manner.
He maintained the city of Oakland pretty well and there were almost no major problems.
But his flaws are also very obvious, like this time, when faced with the case of kidnapping a young girl, he was very slow.
Facing him, Roy can still make the decision. After all, everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Miller.
Moreover, this time they were facing a fourth-order natural disaster, so they naturally expressed their full cooperation.
The second person Loy received was the commander of the 7th Mixed Corps, a powerful and tough soldier, Colonel Enzo Paxson.
He has been in charge of the Seventh Mixed Corps for many years.
Having experienced the curfew in Auckland, the bombardment of the Twilight Priory, and even the military exercises of the Multinational Convention,
It can be said that he is the person with the most power and the highest status.
If he didn't have some personal relationship with the Petrovic family, he probably wouldn't have paid any attention to Roy.
Facing him, Luo Yi didn't waste any words. He directly stated his demands and then gave the conditions.
In the Habsburg Empire, the legions cannot be moved lightly. If they get out of control or are driven by some ambitious people, they can easily cause great damage.
There is a precedent for this, and the imperial royal family is very taboo about it!
But as the saying goes, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. There are always practical measures.
For example, with the endorsement of the local government and a petition submitted, which is then approved and a document issued by the military, a part of the army can be mobilized to intervene in certain local affairs.
These things may seem complicated, but they can actually be accomplished quickly through the magic communication network.
As long as both parties are willing.
And Roy has only one way to impress Colonel Enzo Paxson: spend money!
Donate money, buildings, supplies and weapons to the base!
The legion and the local area are separate, but if someone sends a banner or supplies to the legion, we cannot refuse it!
Roy distributed the money through formal channels, and Colonel Enzo Paxson could also accept it through formal channels.
Then, since he got the benefits and also gained extra credit, he would naturally be willing to do it.
The only one who suffered in this transaction was Luo Yi's wallet, but he had the most money!
The third person to enter 19 Lombard Street was Mr. Mark Williams, an acquaintance of Roy's, the president of the Seven Gods Bank and a loyal believer in the goddess of wealth, Waukeen.
Roy's first windfall, the proceeds from the Bloody Mary Pirates, was deposited into the Seven Gods Bank through this person.
Even later on, Luo Yi's deposits and withdrawals in the Seven Gods Bank were handled through him.
If it was before, it would be fine, but after the succession of the Earl and the promotion of the magic industry,
The amount of money flowing into Naloyi's name had reached an exaggerated level.
Mark Williams used to be the president of a small local bank, but now, with a turnover of millions of gold, he can speak with his head held high among the believers of Woking.
He patted his chest and promised Luo Yi's request!
Not only the banks, but even the bishops of other seven temples were introduced, discussed, brought together and coordinated by him.
In the end, they managed to put together a very powerful temple team and took several sacred items specifically for dark creatures.
And Roy also made a promise that as long as Mark remained in this position, all the business of the Raymond family through the Seven Gods Bank would go through him.
As for the Temple of the Seven Gods, he would send someone to deliver a substantial donation to ensure their satisfaction.
Behind them were two third-level spellcasters from the Philante School of Magic, the director of the police department, and managers at all levels of the Roy Fitz Magic Group.
In short, after the meeting, Roy mobilized all the forces in the entire city of Auckland by spending money, making promises and other means.
By noon, all those who needed to be interviewed had been interviewed, and all those who needed to be communicated with had been communicated with.
Luo Yi finally walked to the balcony on the second floor, facing the street, the countless newspaper reporters and onlookers, and began his speech.
Update! Update!
