Chapter 204 I'm not going too far to hold a long table meeting

Twelve figures gathered, each wearing a silver mask, and only Adam knew their true identities.

Adam watched each figure bow and take their seats, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

More than a decade gave him ample means to recruit talents, just like Ronnie, who was originally a wandering knight and was rescued by Adam by chance. Ronnie was grateful for the favor and was willing to follow Adam. Because he had some brains, Adam arranged him into the Scarab Chamber of Commerce. On the surface, he was the president of the Red Maple Town branch, but in fact he controlled the operation of the entire chamber of commerce.

The Scarab Chamber of Commerce was naturally founded by Adam himself. It started from humble beginnings and grew bigger step by step. At that time, Adam was still in the Order of Glory and could only give remote commands, but Ronnie built a huge business empire with his own talents.

Today, the Scarab Chamber of Commerce has become a behemoth that encompasses people's livelihood, military and politics, and the amount of goods it handles daily has reached an astonishing level.

As for the other knights, each has his own strengths. Some are sons of commoners, some are heirs of nobles, and some are from foreign races and other countries on the border.

Some of these people took over Zoya and Mo Xiu's connections, and more were slowly gathered before Adam joined the Glorious Knights. Although their identities were different, here they only had one identity, that is, the Supreme Knight who was loyal to Adam.

Blessing of Glory: As a person who is determined to climb to the top and touch the highest glory, he will share his glory with everyone, and those who are blessed will receive blessings of all attributes.

PS: To be a solitary king, or to shine with glory and share it with everyone?
This skill is a task refreshed by the Infinite Martial Arts, and is a reward for extraordinary skills.

Extraordinary Skills: Using a mortal body, without using any magic power, he can kill monsters of the same level with ordinary iron.

Adam touched his chest. It was indeed a brutal battle. Before that, he eliminated many monsters with high mobility, high magic power and naturally powerful spells, and chose an earth dragon with thick skin and a strong body.

Hunting, traps, fighting, using only various ordinary iron scraping, the pursuit for seven days and seven nights was a complete confrontation between willpower and the flesh. He was just a little bit away from being killed by a fatal blow through the heart. It was also at that time that he touched the edge of the liberation of his true name.

The power of Glory Blessing is very strong. He bestowed some of Adam's abilities on the blessed person. After testing, although there was not much improvement in talent and understanding, there was a huge increase in magic capacity and physical growth.

Adam relied on this skill to tie the twelve knights to his side. There was no other means of restraint. The Blessing of Glory only opened a gap. It was up to him to truly convince everyone and make them offer their loyalty. If someone rebelled, his incomplete loyalty would only prove that he lacked magnanimity and personal charm.

"Ghostly means and forced control will only lead to alienation. I want to take the grand path and walk the path of kingship."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Adam knocked on the table and asked, "How is the situation in the Empire?"

The third knight on the right adjusted his golden hair and said, "There is no big sign in the capital. The nobles are scheming against each other. His Majesty the Emperor is trying to balance things out. But recently there has been news that the old emperor is seriously ill. I guess a throne seizure will happen soon."

"The empire's control is declining. If the emperor dies, many nobles will probably become restless." Another knight said.

"The information I received was that the emperor pretended to be sick and secretly observed the actions of the three crown princes in order to make the final choice." Someone retorted.

"The situation at the border is not very good. According to statistics, the number of monster attacks on the southern border has increased slightly compared to last year, and the number has also increased." Someone said.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very relaxed. Basically, Adam decided a topic, and everyone began to speak out their own opinions. Some of these people were in high positions and would get some secrets from the upper levels. The Golden Beetle was also responsible for collecting information from the lower levels, forming an intelligence network that accommodated the entire continent, and finally summarized it with Adam.

Except for a routine meeting at the end of the year, meetings are only initiated by Adam or by participants when major events occur.

Adam nodded as he pieced together the situation of the entire continent through everyone's narration. "The empire is in turmoil and will not last long. Do you think you should help stabilize it to buy us time to grow, or give it a push to make it burn more vigorously?"

"If we want to cause chaos in the empire, the Chamber of Commerce I control can launch a few economic attacks, which will easily cause the empire to collapse. However, the disadvantage is that the lower-class people will be greatly affected." Ronnie's own business talent plus the theoretical knowledge that Adam recalled can completely trigger the first economic crisis in the Noraz continent.

After all, Adam was a graduate of the Department of Economics and Management, and had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge. Apart from the difficulty in finding a job, he had a basic understanding of everything else. In addition, the size of the Scarab Chamber of Commerce...

"Veto. We gathered together to restore the glory of the empire and make life better for the lower classes. I know Jiu Xi has the ability to do so, but perhaps there is a better way." The speaker had a soft voice, probably a woman. She nodded to Ronnie to show that she had no ill intentions.

Everyone present also had some understanding of the power that each person controlled, especially Ronnie. They could roughly guess the existence of the scarab, but they were not sure of Ronnie's true identity, which was why Ronnie hid his identity.

"I suggest that we wait and see what happens. It is not yet time for us to take the stage. At least, we should not launch an attack until the demons make a big move." One of them said. The knights thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Let's put it aside for now and move on to the next topic. It's my personal matter. I need to know the news about the powerful demons in the central and southern parts of the empire near the Wall of Sighs." Adam said.

"My lord, are you going to the Wall of Sighs? It seems that this meeting was initiated by the Nine Seats!" said the female knight, writing down the information.

Adam had met all the knights before, but they didn't know each other, and guessing their identities was a great amusement for everyone at the meeting.

"I know one..."

The meeting proceeded step by step. In the middle stage, the difficulties encountered by each knight were solved and information was exchanged. At the end, they started chatting.

It was three hours later when Adam came out of the Scarab Chamber of Commerce. When he found Bo Xiu, he was talking to someone...

gamble?

"I bet one gold coin that you are definitely not stronger than me!" said a man with a calm face, a thin figure, and wearing a red robe. In front of him was a table with his right hand resting on the table. There was a circle of idle people around him, and several tall warriors were covering their right arms with bitter looks on their faces.

"Bai Xiu, go ahead, don't be afraid of him. One gold coin is enough for us to spend for a long time. If you win, I'll treat you to a drink." Valen cheered from the side, and Bai Xiu was pushed forward by him.

The red-robed man tossed a gold coin left and right: "If you're a man, come and arm wrestle. It only takes one gold coin. If you win, I'll give you ten times the money back!"
