Faroe Islands Torshavn.
Torshavn is a port city located on the west coast of the northern continent of Terra, located along the magnificent Tors Strait. It is surrounded by spectacular mountains, backed by dense forests, and faces the vast ocean.

It is one of the busiest ports in the northern continent, attracting ships and trading groups from all over the world. There are extensive dock areas and warehouse facilities near the port for the storage and exchange of various goods and commodities.
The terrain surrounding this port city is varied and spectacular, with mountain cliffs filled with winding trails and adventurer tracks. The nearby forest is dense and mysterious, exuding an alluring aroma of vegetation. The vastness of the ocean is rich in fishing grounds and contains endless secrets.
It is located in a strategic location, connecting the northern continent's inland and maritime trade routes. Therefore, this port city has become an important transportation hub and commercial center. The alien space of [Financial Street] only appears in places with prosperous finance. The largest [Financial Street] alien space belongs to the [Financial Street] in the Edici Federal Empire State. capital].
Woo-woo--
The whistle sounded in the port of Torshavn. The port is wide and busy, and there are all kinds of ships moored on the huge pier, from cargo ships to Battleships, a dazzling array.
The majestic ocean extends into the distance, and the sea breeze blows the ship with a salty breath.
The towering towers and magnificent walls of Torshavn stand like guardians guarding this ancient and prosperous city.
The streets of the port are crowded with people, vendors are selling various products, and neon lights of various colors light up the night.
In the crowded port, a very eye-catching vehicle is parked. The streamlined design of this car's body is elegant and dynamic. Every detail reflects exquisite craftsmanship and high quality, with chrome decoration. Dotted with the body, shining with delicate light.
Beside this gorgeous multi-person business car, stood a well-dressed business person.
Ben Geer is constantly pushing his glasses. As the administrative office commissioner of the Tórshavn Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Geer rarely feels nervous. He has worked in the association for ten years. Over the years, we have received all kinds of humans or non-human creatures.
He has received alliance commissioners from the Central Alliance, dispatched personnel from the Edici Federation's founding research companies, military architects from the Oletin Empire, and arms traders from the Daeva Empire. In addition to these, those ancient laws hidden in the secular world He has also received people with abnormal genealogy and even non-human races.
Logically speaking, Ben Geer, who has a rich resume, should not be as panicked about his next job as a newcomer, but when he thinks of the adult he will receive later, Geer’s heart is still I couldn't help but start jumping nervously.
Don’t be nervous, isn’t it the 346th important foreign partner of the association? The top three foreign partners have also received it themselves, just treat this one as an ordinary... ···
“Are you the commissioner sent by the association to receive us?”
Just when Ben Geer was calming down his uneasy emotions in his heart, a warm and gentle voice came to him. In his ears, the spoken pronunciation and enunciation of this voice were the most comfortable voice he had ever heard, and every syllable was clear and smooth.
Ben Geer turned around subconsciously. He was surprised that he was approached quietly from behind. He was just a [financial card] holder with slightly richer assets, and could not compare with traditional thaumaturges, but He also didn't think that the sensitive spirituality he cultivated by holding a [financial card] for a long time would be so easily approached by an ordinary person.
When Geer turned around, he found that the person standing behind him was not one person, but four people... plus a rather large dog with white hair and red eyes; the cutest one among the four. The little boy was riding on the big dog, and the big white-haired dog was wagging its tail excitedly. Its red pupils were looking around at everything in the port with human curiosity. He looked as if he hadn't been out for a walk in a long time. Passed...
"You are the commissioner sent by the association, I saw the association's logo next to the car."
The blond young man who was the leader of the four spoke again. Ben Geer asked, and Geer came to his senses in an instant. At the same time, he cursed in his heart what was wrong with him today. He was always restless and made some stupid mistakes.
"Yes, I am the administrative office specialist of the Torshavn Chamber of Commerce and Industry!" Geer subconsciously raised his voice and replied. At the same time, he began to look at the blond young man taking the lead in front of him.
This handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes wears a dark top hat, which is gently tilted on his head. His blond hair is slightly exposed under the brim of the hat. Outside, he is wearing a slim-cut mid-length coat and a dark blue coat. It adds a mature and stable temperament to him, which complements his figure perfectly. He wears a white shirt underneath. Against the backdrop of the white shirt, his neat image is highlighted. The dark tank top outlines his slender figure and adds a touch of layering underneath the coat.
His lower body is worn with a pair of black trousers. The slim cut perfectly fits his figure. Echoing the trousers is a pair of leather boots. The dark blue uppers complement the overall match. Finally, a silk tie is embellished on his shirt, and the dark blue striped details add to the sophistication of the overall match.
Even the well-informed Geer couldn’t find anything wrong with the appearance and matching of this blond young man. The other party’s outfit is more artistic than those models in Twist magazine. feel.
The other person is not the old-fashioned person he imagined: he is wearing a black suit and has a cold temperament.
It is hard to imagine that a gentleman like this would be an angel from heaven who was offered a reward of 376 cryptocurrency coins (approximately 10 million U.S. dollars when converted to Western dollars) on the dark web, and could explode wherever he went.
This angel who has been traveling around Youyang in recent years has a very bad reputation in various places, especially in the foggy city.
I heard that the [Greenwich Meteorite Day Incident] has a very close relationship with this angel, and that this angel was also involved in the [Dragon Disaster Incident] in France. The [Bombarding of the Smoke-free City] has been making a lot of noise recently. And [Blood Race Massacre Incident] also followed this...
"Hugh Abraham."
The blond young man extended his right hand politely, and Geer immediately After retracting his thoughts, he stretched out his hands and shook the other person's hands up and down.
"Ben Geer, your consultant for this trip to Tórshavn, the directors of the association asked me to say hello to you and thank you for your great efforts in the industrial sector of the association in the construction of the Fogdu Railway in recent years. Support, the design drawings and financial assistance you provided helped the Ministry of Industry solve many problems," Geer replied respectfully.
"We are all partners, and a win-win situation should be achieved."
Xia Xiu replied with a smile, then he looked at the port where people were coming and going, and joked to Ben Geer with a smile :
“Isn’t it a bit too conspicuous for us to chat next to a luxury car?”
The blond young man’s teasing laughter made Ben Geer suddenly realize his impoliteness. He immediately opened the car door with a smile, and motioned to the four people and one dog present to get in the car with an embarrassed look. Xia Xiu and others quickly got into the car. The interior of the car did not back up its luxurious appearance: the spacious and luxurious cabin was decorated with high-grade leather and exquisite wood veneers, and the comfortable seats provided a variety of adjustment functions. Provide passengers with the best ride experience. The high-resolution thaumaturgy projection display on the center console integrates multi-conscious systems and is equipped with advanced voice control and gesture recognition functions.
There was no one in the driver's seat of the car at this time, but it started on its own and then drove smoothly out of the port.
It is worth noting that this car is an ordinary luxury car in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Xia Xiu and others, it is a hover car that flies off the ground.
"Is this the front-wheel drive suspension vehicle produced by Eddie West?" Xia Xiu sat down and looked at it casually for a while and then asked Ben Geer.
“Yes, this is the latest hover car product launched by Edici Federal Automobile Company. However, due to the existence of the "Thumbology Product Control Regulations", this model is equipped with a fraudulent Meme element with an exaggerated appearance. , which can turn it into a beautiful-looking car in the eyes of ordinary people. However, these products have not flowed into the modern market in large quantities. Instead, they have occupied the vehicle market share in hub areas. Individuals, companies or forces all like to use Western cars. "
As Ben Geer spoke, he carefully looked at the blond young man in front of him who opened the built-in ice compartment of the hover car.
The "Control Regulations" are Heaven's restrictions on thaumaturgic creations. Anything related to EVE particles or [Ether Ocean] can always stimulate the sensitive nerves of Heaven, causing this behemoth to... An incredible emergency response.
As Geer watched, the blond young man was taking out a bottle of Chianyi brandy and several transparent glasses from the ice room. Then he opened the lid of the wine skillfully and poured out the contents. of fine wine.
"Thumbology and technology work together to empower life and liberate human beings from productive labor." Xia Xiu placed a glass of wine in front of Ben Geer with a sigh.
"Labor, it is the killer of art, poetry, and creation. Human beings, my compatriots, if they cannot be liberated from it, they cannot touch the true poetic life - this is the Edici Federation The exact words of the president of the Art Association, he has indeed made a lot of efforts in this regard. "
"He is really a great idealist. No wonder the Edici Federation is called the Dreamland of Terra. country, whether for aliens or humans.”
The blond young man picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips and took a sip, while Ben Geer blankly picked up the wine glass handed over to him. He held the wine glass firmly with both hands and turned it unconsciously.
From the moment he saw the blond young man, Geer felt a strong and abnormal sense of awkwardness. Only when he was holding the wine glass did he understand what this awkward feeling was - the young man in front of him seemed to have never From the beginning, he was dominating everything. His eyes looked at him and reflected himself. However, he really appeared in his eyes. Was he looking at himself?
“Have you also felt that Edici is approaching Oletin and Daeva? Maybe when you wake up tomorrow, the Federation will completely fall into the abnormal state.”
Facing the blond young man's joking words, Geer subconsciously straightened his back. This topic cannot be answered casually.
"Ahaha, how could it be possible? Edici turned abnormal. This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it..." A forced smile appeared on Geer's face, and the wine in his hand Unconsciously, he drank it all.
Basic principles for human-human communication: Problems that everyone can see on the surface must never be spoken out. If they are not spoken out, they ‘do not exist’.
“Don’t be so nervous, I’m not a devil.”
Xia Xiu shook his head, with a warm smile on his face. At the same time, he picked up the bottle and emptied it for Ben Geer. The wine glass is filled with wine again.
"You must have come with a mission this time."
The blond young man's deep and magnetic voice fell into Ben who was subconsciously sipping the wine in his glass. In Geer's ears, he immediately choked on his drink.
"Ahem, cough, you...what did you say?"
For a moment, Ben Geer instinctively wanted to take out his [financial card] and release himself to store it inside the [position] Use the magic of [Psychic Barrier] to shield your heart.
“When the directors of the board of directors received my telegram the day before yesterday, they were so frightened that they held a meeting overnight to discuss how to take back the association’s equity from me. Let's clear up the relationship. After all, the association's roots are in [Hub·France Island]. If it is discovered that there are angels from heaven among the shareholders of the association, well, you know, our reputation is a little bit small in [Hub]. Problem. "
Of course Ben Geer understands that if the news gets out, many businesses and orders within the association will definitely be lost, and the association will be in a very embarrassing situation in the future. After all, the people they serve, But the banner is very clear.
“My equity in the association should be converted to only three million US dollars, which is not a large share for the association, a little thicker than mosquito meat.”
Xia Xiu leaned his head on the soft cushions on the chair behind him with a contented look on his face. His left thumb and index finger were gently turning the azure ring on his right index finger.
"I am not the kind of person who is merciless. The association wants to take back my equity. I can understand his difficulties. However, understanding is understanding, and business is business."
"I I can transfer the equity. Correspondingly, the association will prepare four anonymous [financial cards] for me. I know the association can handle it. At the same time, I need 376 cryptocurrency coins as the transfer fee.”
The blond young man smiled at Ben Geer, whose face was gradually turning pale and his hands were trembling, and he said with a smile:
“Look, my demands are not too much.”
