Chapter 444: Chapter 263: We Are the Vegetable Bone Mercenary Group_1
“Pffft! This crooked merchant Anthony! How dare he sell a plane that isn’t his!?” Negris spit blood, he had never encountered such a shameless person.
The Church of Light does not have the advantage here. Even with the Church unable to hold onto this place, what use is there to certify the rights in Ange’s name?
The only purpose is that the forces of the Eastern Diocese will not harass this place, but what about the Western District? Other adventurers? Will these brash adventurers really care about a deed issued by Anthony?
However, it is not completely useless. It is something like a diplomatic statement, indicating the holy church accepts Vegetable Bone Mercenary Group’s ownership of the Light Sea Plane.
In this case, as long as Ange can hold onto this place by his strength, would those who can’t defeat Ange naturally accept?
Would those small forces that don’t want any trouble simply pay their taxes obediently?
Those brash guys, strung up by Ange next to the tavern’s notice board, wouldn’t the rest of the people think that they just had it coming, instead of blaming the ruler’s abuse of power?
This property deed is more like a ‘banner of righteousness’, symbolizing the recognition of another great power. It’s like establishing diplomatic relations, those small forces under the holy church would also naturally recognize Ange’s property rights rather than seeking death.
All this is based on the premise that Ange can control this plane. If he can’t control it, issuing ten thousand certificates is useless, and if he can, the presence or absence of this thing doesn’t make much of a difference.
That’s why Negris was furious. This thing, whether present or not, didn’t make much difference. Yet it was given as a gift by Anthony, the only use of it probably allows them to trade openly with the Master Plane...
“Ah, Kvada, I get it. This crooked merchant Anthony wants to transport food! With this thing, the Light Sea Plane can openly trade with the Master Plane. He’s clearly doing this for his own convenience, yet we owe him a favor!” Negris was so angry he wanted to fly over and beat him up.
A special vibration suddenly spread from Polk’s body and soon Anthony’s voice was heard: “Just say whether you want it or not.”
“Eh? Projection?” Negris was surprised: “Why is your projection so noticeable?”
Negris himself also projects onto Ange; every time it’s quite unnoticeable, if he doesn’t make a sound, no one can detect that he’s within Ange.
“Well forget it then, compared to Dead Man’s Head, Vegetable Bone sounds much better.”
...
In the ground effect airship, Jelis looked towards the sandbars with a thoughtful expression, sighing lightly from time to time.
Lily, Ai Wei, and Mark, three youngsters huddled together, whispering: “Do you think Lord Ange isn’t interested in women?”
“How is that possible?” Ai Wei said.
“How is it not possible? My sister is such a juicy mature woman, yet he doesn’t even spare a glance at her, spending all day fiddling with those hydroponics, does that sound like a normal man to you?” Lily said indignantly.
“What’s abnormal about that, if I were Ai Wei, I wouldn’t spare a glance either, because I only have eyes for you, Lily.” Ai Wei pounded his chest and said sincerely.
“Don’t say that, my sister is very beautiful.” Lily reprimanded, slapping chubby Ai Wei’s forehead.
Ai Wei started laughing: “You’re even more beautiful.”
“Really? How am I beautiful?” Lily asked.
“You’re energetic, straightforward, cute, whenever you smile, my heart melts, really, I’m not lying to you.” Ai Wei said seriously.
“Really? Hehe, well, you’re not too bad looking either, you’re quite cute being round and all.”
“Hehe, you like round ones, I’ll eat more then.”
The crowd of three people became a huddle of two, with Mark initially nodding enthusiastically in agreement that Lily was right, and Jelis was indeed juicy and sweet. But as time went by, he found himself pushed to the side.
