Louis IX also understood the pros and cons of the matter, but she was not very interested in the Old Li in front of her. If possible, she would rather go back and help pack up.

The dinner continues.

After an unknown amount of time, Leon, who was sitting across the long table, finally put down his knife. After a moment's thought, he chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Clemenceau. I wonder why you asked us to come here?"

On the other side, Ji Shang didn't say anything, but also put down the knife and looked over silently.

Langstadt immediately lowered his voice and said, "It's just like this."

Wichita and Louis IX nodded.

"Well..." Clemenceau put down his crystal wine glass, but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "How did you all feel about tonight's dinner? Is there anything you didn't enjoy?"

Wichita wanted to yell that it wasn't fun anywhere.

But she also knew that this question was actually addressed to Leon and Jishan.

"The dinner was impeccable. It's amazing that we can find such a place in the wilderness and have such delicious food." Leon said with a smile.

Ji Shang still didn't say anything.

"It's not easy," Clemenceau chuckled. "I used a year's salary to rent this hotel, another month's salary to hire someone to decorate it, and another month's salary to hire Roshan's chef."

"These are not so much my work as they are the result of the solidarity and cooperation of ordinary people, creating miracles in the snow."

"I feel like it's the miracle created by money." Ji Shang spoke, and his tone seemed a little harder than Leon's. "Just tell me, why should we join your... organization?"

"Because of miracles." Clemenceau still smiled. "Just like here, we are all shipgirls of the Iris Church. When we gather together, cooperate with each other, and help each other, we can achieve many goals that are difficult for one person to achieve."

"What is the specific goal?" Ji Shang asked.

"Any target is fine. Like an ordinary port area, we can conduct offensive operations, or like an ordinary group of people, we can carry out production work. All of these are possible."

“What’s important is that everyone comes together.”

"Hmm." Guishan shook his head. "Clemenceau, you see, we are no longer like before, without any choice."

"What choice? A deceptive port?" Clemenceau smiled.

Wichita frowned immediately. Although she was still sitting there, she had an inexplicable majesty. "You'd better explain this sentence clearly."

Neither Kronstadt nor Louis IX said anything, but just stared at her silently. There was also an indescribable sense of oppression spreading around them.

The powerful aura made Clemenceau a little frightened.

She was stunned for a moment, and for the first time felt that her guess might have been a little unexpected, but she still said, "Richelieu, Jean Bart, and Gascogne... These ship girls might appear in a port area?"

"That's just because you are too short-sighted." Wichita sneered and didn't bother to explain too much.

Ji Shang fell silent after hearing this.

In fact, this is also what she is worried about.

She and Leon were indeed tired of that lonely life and wanted to find companions, or rather, to rely on a group.

But just at this moment, an extremely large port area just appeared, and just had all the ship girls of the Iris Church, but just missing a few.

The only thing missing is a sign that says "You're the only one missing."

This subtle feeling made her hesitate.

In fact, if it weren't for her old friend Suffren, she probably wouldn't even have hesitated.

Clemenceau seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled, saying, "Are you worried about Suffren? Don't worry, maybe she will change her mind."

Chapter 1227 Clemenceau is a little worried

"what are you saying?"

Hearing the other party's words, Wichita couldn't help but shake her head, and then corrected him, saying, "Suffren has already joined the port area."

Clemenceau simply smiled. "That's not necessarily true. Your commander is said to be not even in Area S, right? It's too early to say anything before you meet him in person."

Wichita was speechless for a moment.

Clemenceau continued smiling, looking at Guishan and Leon, and continued, "So, maybe she will change her mind tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Wichita realized something. "What did you do?"

"Nothing, I just asked someone to help her understand the truth." Clemenceau smiled, shaking his wine glass and looking at Wichita, whose face was cold, but he didn't care at all. "Why worry? If what you said is true, there is naturally no need to worry."

Wichita laughed out of anger. She shook her head and said solemnly, "As expected, I'm still not good at these roundabout conversations."

Langshitad sensed something, reached out and pressed her shoulder, saying softly, "Don't get excited."

"It's not excitement." Wichita shook her head, slapped away Langstad's hand, and pushed the chair away.

The crashing sound was extremely harsh in the quiet room. She walked all the way to Clemenceau and stared down at her condescendingly. "Knight, Mage, you people from the Iris Church always like to find some strange identities for yourselves. In this case, I challenge you to a challenge. You should not refuse, right?"

Louis IX, who was not far away, was a little speechless. Before she could say anything, she felt an arrow hit her knee.

Clemenceau was stunned for a moment, then he said calmly, "Of course, but where do you want to conduct the exercise? Rhodes? Where are your companions?"

Wichita narrowed her eyes and wanted to say something else.

But Langshita spoke first, "Okay, Wichita."

"But……"

"That's enough," said Langstad. He stood up and walked over to Wichita, whispering in her ear, "She did it on purpose. She wanted to say that we were taking advantage of her situation to pressure her."

Wichita was stunned, and indeed found that the expressions of Ji Shang and Leon beside him had changed a little. Although it was unclear, it was completely different from the previous entanglement.

She took a deep breath, looked at Clemenceau with cold eyes, and returned to her chair.

Clemenceau, however, smiled, glanced at the crowd, and invited, "So, why don't you rest here for a night? Tomorrow, you will naturally get the results."

Wichita was stunned. She didn't quite understand why this guy dared to invite her. Wasn't he afraid that he would take the watermelon to her room in the middle of the night?

"Okay." Ji Shang looked at Leon and nodded in agreement.

Wichita wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Langshita nodded first, "Okay."

Now not only her, but even Louis IX felt very strange.

Langstadt lowered his voice and said, "Under the current circumstances, if we go back alone, it will only make Guishan and Lyon more suspicious. At this time, we can only trust Suffren. And since Surcouf is here, there should be no problem."

Wichita suddenly realized it, but smacked her lips and said sullenly, "What a hassle! I should have just ignored these two witches."

Louis IX nodded.

Langstadt was also very helpless, "I'm already here."

"Okay then, everyone, please follow me." Clemenceau didn't pay attention to the conversation here. He chuckled, stood up, and walked to the back.

Everyone followed her and arranged the rooms in order. Compared with the hall, these rooms seemed simple, but still gorgeous.

When everything was over, Clemenceau returned to the hall alone.

Looking at the surroundings that were still brightly lit and bustling, there were no smiling faces.

Although she seemed to have the situation under control that night, she knew that key issues still remained unresolved.

The strength of those ship girls was far beyond her expectations. They were just heavy cruisers, but they could make her feel pressured. Maybe there really was an absurdly large port area behind them.

Especially since the one who was sent out, Kyle Saint, has not returned yet, giving her an extremely bad feeling.

"Ban Erwei?"

She walked to a door, knocked gently, and then pushed it open and walked in.

A girl with long golden hair was sitting behind a table, studying something carefully. Upon hearing the voice, she turned her head in confusion, her face showing bewilderment. "Clemenceau?"

"I need to trouble you with something," Clemenceau said. "I might need you to go to the tower again."

"Tower? I see." Ban Erwei nodded and put away the tarot cards on the table. "Today's lucky location also points to the tower. So that's how it is."

"Hmm? Hmm." Clemenceau was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He didn't say anything, but simply explained, "This time I went there mainly to check on Kyle Saint's situation and help her."

"Well, I know. You are telling the truth to Suffren, right?" Banerwei nodded.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Clemenceau smiled.

Banerwei didn't say anything else, but quickly packed up, then left the hotel and walked along the path towards the tower.

Clemenceau saw the girl off briefly, then stood at the door of the inn, watching her figure gradually disappear, muttering to himself, "I hope everything goes well."

She turned around and saw a girl with silver hair and red eyes behind her. Her face was cold and calm. "Do you need me to go with you?"

"Not for now." Clemenceau was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Two people are enough. If they can't do it, one more won't be of much use."

"I think the more people involved in this kind of thing, the better." The silver-haired girl disagreed.

"Not everything is better if you have more of it. Marseillaise." Clemenceau chuckled.

……

tower.

Living room on the first floor.

After hearing the girl's words, Huang Chen immediately understood that the matter was settled.

It's like a Peugeot or something else. In short, as long as you call the commander, you will join his port area.

But I still don’t know whether it is Guishan or Lyon.

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the still timid girl, he couldn't help but say, "Well, this is your home after all. There's no need for me to remind you to relax, right?"

The girl was stunned when she heard this, and raised her head in confusion, with a bewildered look on her face.

"my home?"

"What?" Huang Chen also felt something was wrong.

He stared at the girl blankly for a while, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. Before they got close, they heard Suffren's voice yelling, "Commander, what took you so long to move?"

But in a moment, the girl jumped to the living room on the first floor and laughed, "So you are just being lazy."

"Who is being lazy? Aren't you chatting with your sister?" Huang Chen immediately put his doubts aside and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Who? Guishan and Leon are back?" Suffren was startled when he heard this. He glanced towards the sofa, then blinked, his face blank. "Who are you?"

The blonde girl shrank her neck weakly and whispered, "My name is Kyle Sheng."

Chapter 1228 Conspiracy

The laboratory at the top of the tower.

Kyle Sheng sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand and sipping it, but his eyes would occasionally fall on other people in the room.

Is this what it feels like to be in the harbor? It's definitely different from when I was with Clemenceau.

Baltimore sat next to the girl and smiled gently, "Do you need anything else?"

"No, no, thank you."

"It doesn't matter, we are a family now."

"Yeah, yeah." Kyle Sheng nodded, holding the teacup and taking another sip.

Not far away, Magdeburg withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but poke Huang Chen's waist with a strange look on his face, "Commander, are you kidding?"

"Didn't you hear what she called me just now?" Huang Chen asked back.

"I heard it, it's just..." Magdeburg suddenly looked conflicted, still feeling a little bit indescribable.

It's only been less than ten minutes since I went down, and when I came back, I had a new companion in the port area. The previous commander was only good at construction, right?

When did salvaging boats become so powerful?

"As expected of you, Commander. It seems my sister made the right choice."

Suffren didn't think too much about it and seemed quite happy. Although he was neither Lyon nor Guichan, he was at least a companion of the Iris Church.

Magdeburg hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "As expected of you, Commander."

"Don't learn everything." Huang Chen reached out and knocked directly on the girl's head. The sound was crisp, and it was a good start.

Magdeburg immediately rolled to the side with his head in his hands.

Surcouf came forward, mimicking Magdeburg's expression, and said with a smile, "As expected of a commander."
