Chapter 380: Diary

Due to inertia, Ethan and his sword collided with the small iceberg.

There was a loud "bang".

A big pit was blown out at the collision point, and the ground within a diameter of tens of meters was cracked inch by inch with the big pit as the center.

With such a fierce collision, Ethan was naturally fine because of the invincible characteristics of the sword spirit, but the small iceberg was also safe and sound, and did not even move a bit.

This shocked Ethan.

Such a fierce collision, but it couldn't break a piece of ice?

Even more shocking, the advanced blade was actually frozen in it, and the tip of the sword stopped less than one centimeter from the opponent's chest.

As long as he went in a little further, he could kill the fraudster.

But this distance of less than one centimeter seemed like a natural moat. No matter how hard Ethan tried, he couldn't move forward at all.

Helplessly, Ethan could only try to pull out the sword, but found that he couldn't pull it out.

Ethan smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, the advanced blade can transform, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck in it.

With a thought, the Advanced Blade turned into a stream of light and retreated, and then turned into a ring on his hand.

Looking at the ice block in front of him and the deceiver frozen in it, Ethan sighed, and then a white light flashed in his hand, and the Advanced Blade appeared again, and he chopped the ice block several times.

The result was as expected, it could not be broken.

With a divine weapon of the level of the Advanced Blade, it didn't even leave a mark when it was chopped on it.

Obviously, this ice block, like the sword spirit, is a top-priority invincible skill.

This is funny, the two turtle shells collided with each other.

Just as Ethan was thinking about what to do, the galaxy skeletons that had just come out of the portal began to besiege him.

Ethan asked Kayle and Volibear to deal with it, while he looked at the portal not far away.

Because after the deceiver froze himself, the portal that had been sending troops out suddenly began to shrink slowly.

Apparently even the necromancer had given up on the rescue.

Now, even the last opponent was gone.

After Volibear and the others had dealt with all the skeletons, there was nothing left to do.

But they couldn't leave because they were worried that the other party would suddenly thaw and run away.

So Ethan could only stay nearby, letting Volibear return to Turing Manor first, and waiting for the Knight King to come and see if there was any way to deal with the deceiver.

Just when Ethan didn't know what to do, Catherine suddenly appeared and ran towards the pigeon tower.

After a while, she ran back with an oil paper package in her hand.

She handed the package to Ethan like offering a treasure.

"This is the package left by Simmons. He said the truth inside is related to everyone."

Ethan took the package with both hands and tore open the oil paper.

Inside was a two-finger-thick diary, which was well preserved due to the protection of the oil paper.

Generally speaking, Ethan is not interested in other people's diaries.

After all, which serious person would write a diary?

However, he was still somewhat interested in this Simmons.

Because when Catherine mentioned the name Simmons before, Ethan knew who Simmons was.

This person's background is not simple.

When checking the information of the Iris Club, Simmons was among them. He was one of the seven highest-level directors of the Iris Club, and he was still in office.

Yes, in office, that is, he should be alive.

But according to Catherine, Simmons had already died in that dark room.

In this case, who is the Simmons in office?

No need to look, someone must have replaced his identity.

If I guessed correctly, the person who replaced him was the fraudster in front of him.

Because he lived in someone else's house.

Yes, that's right, this Shebir Manor is the home of Simmons.

An old monster who has been in the world for thousands of years actually occupied the identity of an ordinary person. Obviously, there must be a story.

Therefore, Ethan was quite curious about what was written in the diary.

But after opening the diary and reading some of the contents, Ethan was a little disappointed. There were only some trivial matters in the diary, and at most some of his study records, and there was nothing useful.

Just when Ethan wanted to give up, he happened to see a design drawing.

The picture seemed familiar and immediately attracted his attention.

The design drawing showed a banknote, and this banknote was almost exactly the same as the banknote he had seen before that was about to be issued by the Iris Club, regardless of size, pattern, or color.

The only difference was in the details of some patterns.

But this did not prevent Ethan from recognizing it.

And seeing this banknote design drawing, plus knowing that the fraudster was impersonating Simmons, Ethan vaguely guessed a possibility.

So he hurriedly looked down.

"On June 2, the Council unanimously approved the plan proposed by the Arthur family to replace traditional currency with paper money, and immediately began to implement it.

Thinking of the benefits that this plan will bring, all members of the Council are full of fighting spirit."

"On July 1, the negotiation with the Duke of Asino for the coinage right agent was not going well. The other party was unwilling to even give in, which put the negotiation in a deadlock.

However, a 'Sword of Blessing of the Wind Spirit' that suddenly appeared finally changed the situation.

When this artifact was delivered, the other party finally gave in, but problems also followed. The other party's appetite was too big.

This matter is expected to be another protracted war."

"On August 22, the negotiations were still deadlocked, but there was some good news. We finally solved the problem of paper for banknotes.

A researcher found that after adding cotton fiber and flax fiber to the pulp, the paper produced was extremely durable.

Not only is it not easy to tear and wear, it is also extremely flexible and waterproof.

The most important thing is that this new type of paper can adapt well to the multi-level printing technology of banknotes, making the patterns and texts on the banknotes clearer and more detailed, greatly enhancing the anti-counterfeiting performance.

It is simply the dream paper."

"November 11, today It was a double blessing. We not only solved the problem of raw materials and anti-counterfeiting for banknotes, but also solved the problem of coinage agency.

Yes, the agreement was reached.

All this was thanks to the advice of Arthur's family. On the one hand, we introduced another competitor, and on the other hand, we imposed comprehensive economic sanctions on the Sheffield family, where the Duke of Asino was.

Under the double attack, the Duke of Asino finally lowered his proud head.

To be honest, I was always nervous about taking action against a powerful duke, but the result was finally good. ”

“On March 2, after a long period of planning, we officially Start building a mint and start talking to leaders of various regions.

If everything goes well, it is estimated that everything will be implemented within two years.

"On March 17, the dialogue with leaders of various regions was not very smooth. Everyone's appetite was huge and could not be satisfied at all. The long tug-of-war was about to begin again.

However, some people did not seem to want to take the right path. The Arthur family proposed an "assassination plan" to remove all obstacles.

When I suppressed the Duke of Asino before, I was worried. I didn't want to experience that kind of inhuman life again, so I was the first to stand up and express my opposition.

"On March 19, it was probably the last time I wrote a diary. I really didn't expect that the Arthur family would set their sights on me just to express their opposition.

And their strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

At this time, I noticed that everything about paper money was actually operated by them.

Things are just like their strength, the surface and the inside are different.

I think, perhaps things will develop in the worst situation.

By then, everyone will go bankrupt, except for those who came to the table! ”

The diary ends here, and there is no follow-up.

Ethan slowly closed the diary, then looked at the fraudster beside him with a sly smile.

“It turns out that you are behind all this!”
