Chapter 803: Section 540: You at This Moment (1)
During a lull in the battle, the middle-aged man sat on a broken log near the observation post. He took out a letter that had just been delivered by a messenger from the spirit realm. The letter came from Eric Wood, the eldest son of his mentor, with whom he had become old friends. It was Eric Wood who had facilitated his advancement within the organization.
Today he had sent a letter, most certainly concerning the distinguished individual who had recently been causing a stir in Copenhagen.
With this thought, the middle-aged man opened the letter.
Stein Manheim, my old friend, I am writing this letter to you as a fellow member of the Eleven to inform you about Sir Malin Gaiate. After discussing with old Sir Francis, he believes that Sir Malin can indeed be considered a comrade. Though he is a major corporate owner and a great noble, his recent actions have been even more impressive than those of us, the Eleven. Sometimes I wonder if some people are simply born to save others. My reason tells me this is impossible, but my eyes tell me it could indeed be possible.
Stein, if you get the chance, please verify this yourself. Before the war ends, the meetings will be suspended indefinitely.
Really?
Putting down the letter, the middle-aged man contemplated... Indeed, just as Eric had said, Sir Malin Gaiate had been incredibly busy, busy to the point where Stein wondered if all his efforts came at a price... Of course, it was a joke, as even without a price, acquiring military supplies still costs money. That is the cost, and one so low that Stein could hardly believe it.
Of course, what pleased Stein even more was the wheat flour Sir Malin had recently supplied to the military and the market. The abundant flour meant that the soldiers no longer had to eat bread with fine sand, coarse sawdust, and small pebbles.
As for the flour released on the market, it had caused the originally high prices of flour to drop significantly.
That Sir Malin Gaiate was indeed a very interesting young man, whether it was Eric, Ragnarlov, the Svenson family’s twins, or Antoine, everyone found him to be a very interesting and congenial young man.
But precisely because of this, Stein wanted the opportunity to meet Malin Gaiate in person and see if this young man was truly, as his comrades said, a natural-born northerner.
