Chapter 405: Playing Cards

After issuing banknotes for more than a month, the Iris Society not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also urgently stopped the issuance work.

And arrange for special people to exchange the issued banknotes back into gold coins.

At the same time, the leaders of the 16th District also suspended the compulsory exchange bill.

In less than a few days, all economic activities seemed to have returned to their original state.

For all this, the Iris Society and the leaders of the Sixteenth Region did not give any explanation.

However, they all do the same thing.

That is to keep running to Maruo City.

First, several directors of the Iris Society came together, and then several regional dukes took turns visiting the Stein family.

In less than half a month, Lyon hosted several dukes,

He was almost bored to death by these people. After all, he knew better than anyone else that these people were not here for him at all.

And even though he knew this, he still wanted to receive them for someone.

These people eat and drink for free!

And it is impossible for someone to reimburse the money!

Of course, this group of people came to Ethan in the name of visiting the Stein family, and hoped to have a good talk with Ethan.

However, Ethan was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, this was not Ethan's intention.

He still wanted to discuss it with this group of people, for example, asking Iris to hand over control of the banknotes.

But Sofia thought he was just talking nonsense. If he talked to them with this purpose, it would be better not to meet them.

After all, people come to talk to you just for mutual benefit.

But when you talk to others, you want to take advantage of them.

As soon as these words came out, it was a complete break.

Instead of doing this, not meeting can at least leave some hope for people, so that they still feel that they have a chance and will not go too far.

However, Sophia seemed to underestimate their determination.

After this matter was noisy for a while, they couldn't see Ethan and suddenly became silent.

Everything suddenly became quiet, eerily quiet!

Sofia noticed this keenly and reminded Ethan to take precautions. She was very sure that the other party must be preparing some terrible conspiracy.

When Ethan heard the word conspiracy, he smiled bitterly: "You guessed it right, the sixteen dukes plus the Iris Society held a secret meeting in Bremer City in Owen's territory.

Its main content is how to deal with us, including but not limited to more severe economic sanctions and necessary war.

The plan that has been worked out so far is to pretend to be pirates and attack our caravan.

And station troops at the border of Maruo City to create tension. If necessary, fabricate conflicts and escalate the pressure into a real lord war. "

Sophia was shocked when she heard this. Just when she was about to say something, she held her stomach and showed pain.

Ethan was shocked when he saw this scene and hurried to help her.

At this time, he regretted telling Sophia these things, and said with a look of self-blame: "Sofia, what's wrong with you?"

Sophia rubbed her belly, took a few more breaths, and her expression softened a little.

She waved her hands and said, "It's okay, the two little guys kicked me hard."

After saying that, Sophia showed a hint of anxiety again and asked, "Have you known about this for a long time?"

Ethan pursed his lips, then nodded slightly.

When Sophia saw this, she became very angry: "This can endanger the whole family. Why don't you tell me?"

Ethan did not rush to reply, but gently held Sophia in his arms and massaged her belly to make him feel more comfortable.

Seeing that Sophia's expression returned to normal, she slowly said:

"I'm not afraid that you will worry!"

"Can I not worry? Once the troops are really launched, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Ethan regretted telling Sophia even more. Now that she had a big belly and her energy was not good, Ethan didn't want her to worry about anything.

However, now that I have said it, I still have to make the other party feel at ease.

So he said: "Don't worry! I have prepared a response strategy.

I have assigned a supernatural eagle to each of the family's cargo ships, and modified the routes of all ships to ensure the safety of the cargo ships.

At the same time, I also placed a new order with the shipyard to build a new type of armed ship.

This kind of ship will be much smaller than our cargo ships. At that time, in addition to equipping them with the [Windbreaker] system, I will also equip them with a special firepower system that I am developing.

In this way, they not only run fast and straight, but also have powerful firepower.

Since the other party likes to play pirates, I will play with them, and then they will know who is the real pirate.

Not only do I want to play with them, I also want to formulate new maritime rules. From now on, the sea areas in their sixteen areas will be controlled by us.

Without our permission, as long as their ships dare to leave the port, they will never return to the port. "

When saying this, Ethan kept smiling confidently. He wanted to give Sophia a sufficient sense of security.

But Sophia is not the kind of woman who needs unknown protection. What she wants is safety based on facts.

She heard the flaw in Ethan's words, so she asked: "What's the point even if you build such a ship? In front of the real transcendent, they are nothing."

Of course Ethan also thought of this, so he replied: "I have collected the information of all the sages and magicians above in the sixteen regions, as well as the great sword master.

If any of them dare to go, then I will go too.

Isn't this the case in all the lord battles in the past? "

Sophia turned pale when she heard Ethan's ignorance.

"How dare you boast that you can deal with dozens of sage-level characters alone?

I think even my teacher wouldn't dare to say that. "

Ethan didn't reply, because he knew that no matter how much he said to Sophia, it would be better to show his strength in front of him.

So he smiled and put Sophia on the sofa, then stood up and performed the ascension posture. Suddenly, the whole body was shining with golden light, and the whole person was like an angel bathed in golden holy light.

Sophia was a little stunned for a while, frowning, hesitating, and unable to speak.

"Is this... an ascender?"

Ethan smiled and said confidently and arrogantly: "That's right! Ascension posture!

The posture used by the ascender [Death] Anastasia a thousand years ago.

I can guarantee you without exaggeration.

If they don't do it, I can still talk to them about the rules.

Once they choose to do it, I will have to kill them all!

In fact, I think it may not be necessary to kill them all. You should know that they seem to be very united, but in fact they are not a solid block.

As long as such a sage-level figure dies, they will immediately be honest.

You don't deny this, right! "

Sophia's face suddenly eased a lot, and at the same time she stood up and hugged Ethan's neck, kissing him on the face.

"Yes, you are right, my dear husband!

However, I still want to ask, if they don't send out the top extraordinary people, but only send ground troops, what will you do? "

Ethan smiled: "Whether they send strong people or not, what does it have to do with me, Ethan?

I only know that someone invaded Maro City and invaded my territory. It is reasonable for me to kill all the invaders!"

Sophia nodded: "It is very reasonable, but I have a better way. Do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to hear it! "Ethan knew what Sophia was thinking.

Her method would kill a lot of innocent people, and Ethan didn't want to do that.

"Would you listen to it?"

"No!"

"Listen!"

"No"
