The King of Knights in a Different World

Remember what I said, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

At that time is the time for you to truly show your bravery, don't worry."

If there is no accident, the next thing should be arranging the plan. Compared with letting Leah just be his bodyguard, it is better to let her continue training.

They don't have much time now, after all, no one knows if the pirates will have a sudden convulsion.

"I got it.

I'll get used to it as soon as possible, and that..."

At the end of the words, Leah hesitated.

"that…"

"Today...I want to eat fried shrimp."

Hearing Liya's words, Lucifer subconsciously laughed.

"No problem, I'll buy some myself when I get back."

Leaving the room, Lucifer walked down the steps, and he took the cloak handed to him by the knight.

Go to the City Hall with Gareth who has been waiting here for a long time.

Not long after, when Lucifer came here, he found that there were already five businessmen standing in the hall, four men and one woman.

Drake is on the other side.

After seeing Lucifer coming, Drake saluted immediately, but the merchants were half a beat behind.

Lucifer didn't pay much attention either, after all these people were not under his command, and maybe even many of them were not British.

Compared to several male businessmen, Lucifer's eyes were attracted by the women in front of him. Some of them had long...pink hair, hats on their heads, and the clothes on their bodies looked a bit like those of Ross and Britain. Miss combination suit.

Not only did the two styles not conflict, but they showed a strange fusion on her body. It can only be said that she suits clothes very well, rather than clothes suit her.

After a brief self-introduction, Lucifer also knew their names respectively.

Karl, Gerald, Ruth, Latif, and the last female Koyanskaya.

The moment he heard this name, Lucifer finally understood why this beauty looked familiar.

Although I don't know how this crumbly fox appeared here, but right now the business is important, and Lucifer didn't go over to look at her too much.

"I have heard of your request through Drake.

If you want to go to sea now, I will not stop it, after all, for you businessmen, time often means money.

I just want to remind you that the risk of going to sea is very high now, and it cannot be directly proportional to your return."

He looked at the crowd and reminded.

"My lord, we know.

That's exactly what it came for.

The five of us, on behalf of the many merchants in Edinburgh, would like to ask you to send a fleet to escort us away."

Karl with a moustache is dressed in white. This...British male businessman looks to be in his forties, and his tone is full of respect.

"My army is not mercenaries, you better know that."

Lucifer responded lightly.

"Yes! We know, good lord, that you protect us on this sea passage.

Our goods have been backlogged here for a long time, if we don’t find time to sell them, it may cause us to go bankrupt.”

Another fat middle-aged man, Ruth, also spoke.

At the same time, their expressions were very distressed.

"Money is more important than life"

Lucifer asked with interest.

"Your Majesty the Knight King, I don't know if you have heard a saying.

For businessmen like me, money is life."

Koyanskaya opened the fan at this moment, and said in a timely manner.

Even though he said so, Lucifer felt that the fox in front of him seemed to care more about himself than money.

"So you choose money over life"

Lucifer asked back.

no.178 Bait plan (ask for tickets, ask for custom)

These guys in front of me already have some shadows of capitalists in their previous lives, typically wanting money but not life.

There is a joke that they even dare to sell the rope used to hang themselves if the profit is enough.

"Of course not, after all, if you only have money but no life, money is useless.

When it comes to spending money, the five of us jointly discussed a proposal, we will spend a large sum of money to ensure the smooth passage this time, I don’t know what your majesty thinks about it.”

Koyanskaya said the countermeasures they had discussed in advance.

Even though paying a large amount of money to Lucifer made them very heartbroken, it was better than being squeezed here like this.

However, faced with this seemingly lucrative choice, Lucifer still chose to refuse.

"As I said just now, my army is not mercenaries."

The line between the army and the mercenaries needs to be drawn clearly and must not be crossed.

If I collect money here now, others will definitely follow suit in the future.

In the end, the army may fail.

"this......"

Carl's expression was completely stuck there.

"That means there's nothing to talk about."

Koyanskaya smiled lightly, as if she didn't seem much...disappointed.

Just when they thought the matter would end here, Lucifer spoke again.

"The trouble you're facing right now is pirates, and so are we.

On this point at least, our interests are aligned.

I'm curious how much...property you lose each year to these pirates."

"us......"

Ruth thought for a while and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Lucifer.

"You don't need to answer, you can tell from your looks that it will definitely not be a small amount.

So now I have a proposal, which can or can once and for all solve the troubles caused by pirates in this sea area."

"Once and for all,"

Ruth was taken aback for a moment.

"Completely solve the problem of pirates."

Carl was also a little surprised.

"Yes, completely solve the three sea dogs outside."

Lucifer repeated his words again.

"What do we need to do? You just said that you don't need money. I'm curious, what do we need to pay for?"

Koyanskaya's smile now became a bit like a fox.

"It's very simple. I will have a battle plan against the pirates. I need you to sail along the route I specified, use it as a bait to attract the pirates, and then let my army annihilate them."

Lucifer simply stated his plan.

In general, this is true, but there may be many details in the actual implementation.

"Bait..."

"How much money will we lose"

"If you cooperate, the loss can be minimized, which is definitely much less than what you just wanted to pay."

Facing the questions from the two male businessmen, Lucifer did not make a definite guarantee, but said the best result.

This result instantly allowed them to solve the troubles of the pirates in one fell swoop, and the price they paid was less, of course they were willing.

"we agree!"

"right!"

"agree!"

Seeing this, Lucifer started to say the worst result.

"Listen to me and finish first, but if you don't cooperate, causing huge losses and even implicating my soldiers, then the consequences cannot be solved by paying money."

With this order of first good and then bad, these businessmen will subconsciously have a fluke mentality.

This is more acceptable to them than the bad before the good.

"Hey! Can I simply understand that we are now being temporarily recruited by you?"

Koyanskaya . . . saw the problem, she said.

"No.

You are not my subordinates, but you are also good law-abiding citizens in this land.

Therefore, I will not force you to do anything, choose or not, the decision is yours."

Lucifer said calmly.

Even if they refuse, they have other ways.

But these people have no other choice, now they take the initiative to ask for themselves, and the initiative is theirs.

If they don't want to choose, the final consequences can only be borne by themselves.

Of course, for...the businessmen who... believe that time is money, this choice is actually doomed from the very beginning.

"Great king, I wonder if we can discuss for a while..."

Carl hesitated to ask Lucifer for instructions.

"no problem.

Drake, take them to the side hall, you have an hour to think about it.

For those of you who... time means money, you probably don't want to waste too much money."

At this time, Lucifer applied Goyanskaya's words to them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Drake took them to the side hall, where they will discuss how to agree to Lucifer's proposal.

In fact, there were not many choices for this question from the beginning, although Lucifer gave the right to choose.

But no matter in terms of interests or benefits, they are impossible to refuse.

During the waiting time, Lucifer took the book and started to read.

On the cover of the book is written "Pillow Grass".

Still seeing familiar books in this world, Lucifer subconsciously felt a feeling of nostalgia.

When he was shopping with Liya before, he saw some bookstores selling them, so he bought one.

Originally, I also looked for "The Tale of Genji", but unfortunately I couldn't find it.

Of course, it is naturally much better than a bunch of cheating knight novels.

In fact, I paid special attention to Shakespeare before, but this...drama writer seems to have not made a fortune yet. He only wrote one 'famous play', and he hasn't been sought after. It can be said that his income is bleak.
