Chapter 12

　　"In addition, before the Cameron expedition has not set foot in the Congo River Basin, and confirm that they are heading for the Congo River Basin, do not start," Constantine ordered.

　　After saying this, he worried that Stanley would be restrained and self-defeating.

　　He said: "You still have to act accordingly. In short, our goal is only limited to the Congo River Basin. If the Cameron expedition is only active in the Tanzania area, then we should not have any transgressive actions, if..."

　　Constantine did not say the next words, but he believed Stanley understood.

　　However, Belgium may not really be heading for the Congo River Basin. After all, the Cameron expedition is currently only active in Tanzania. Tanzania is still a long way away from the Congo River Basin.

　　It was only Leopold II's sensitive and special identity that caused Constantine to have such a big reaction.

　　"Your Excellency, I think you'd better be able to have a meeting with His Majesty King Leopold II of Belgium. If you can reach a consensus, this is the most suitable method and the cost is the lowest. As for doing it in Africa, then It's a bad idea," Stanley said.

　　Although in accordance with the current strength of the expedition, coupled with the 500 professional military personnel that Constantine promised to support, Stanley's expedition is far stronger than Cameron's team.

　　However, taking risks in Africa is inherently a very risky thing. It is necessary to deal with various natural and man-made disasters as well as other emergencies, such as diseases, food shortages, and so on.

　　If you can avoid conflicts with professional European adventure teams and reduce risks, it would be more in line with Stanley's wishes.

　　"Meeting with Leopold I, I will do it, but we can't put all our hopes on Leopold's willingness to be a good baby. Resolve with tough means," Constantine said.

　　"In addition, when the 500 military personnel of the Royal Guards arrived, before the Cameron expedition revealed their thoughts on the Congo River, they set their military targets on the damn Arab slave traders, and let these bastards learn a lesson. ", Stanley gritted his teeth.

　　Leopold is not easy to provoke, you guys also dare to come to the autumn wind.

　　"Slave traders usually have two routes of incursion, one is to reach Sudan through the Nile River, and then follow the Nile River to the south of the Congo River Basin."

　　"The other is to build a base camp from Zanzibar Island, land on the coast of Tanzania and then move towards the interior of the Congo," Stanley said.

　　"Even because of the frequent exchanges of these slave traders, the lions on both sides of the Arab slave trade routes on the east coast have a habit of cannibalism," Stanley sighed.

"The cannibal lion, this is too scary," Nina said with her little hand covering her mouth when she heard such terrifying news.

　　"This is because the slave traders need to travel long distances to return to their base camps, such as the island of Zanzibar on the coast of the Indian Ocean, after they have caught slaves in the interior of Africa."

　　"If there are sick slaves who are abandoned by slave traders or run away privately on the way, they won't make lions cheaper. Those lions are addicted to eating people," Stanley said.

　　"I heard that there are often news of lions attacking and wounding or cannibalizing people on the east coast of Africa. It is because the slave traders frequently abandon the old, weak, sick and disabled slaves, and they have developed the habit of cannibalism." Seeing Nina's response to such news, Continue to say.

　　"The lions of East Africa will stealthily sneak into human villages and yards in the dark of night, and suddenly take away unsuspecting children, frightened children crying, and wait until their parents come out. , The child is gone."

　　Stanley had a mysterious tone, talking about the thrills, waving his hands in gestures, his tone stretched, teasing Nina.

　　"Why the lion is so bad, even the children don't let it go", Nina covered her mouth with her hands, staring wide-eyed, and her face was horrified.

　　"Which male lions like children especially, especially beautiful girls, lick their soft wet tongue, and the barbs on the tongue scrape the girl's delicate skin with blood flowing, and even the bones can bite. It's not like those adults, who have hard bones and teeth, and the meat is old and woody, not tasty."

　　Stanley spoke, sticking out his tongue and opening his mouth, imitating the actions he described, as if he was like a male lion.

　　Hearing this, Nina ran to Constantine, clasped Constantine's arm with both hands, and said in horror: "Then I can't go to Africa."

　　Constantine was speechless for a while at this scene.

　　He really didn't expect that Stanley, who was in his 40s, had a childlike innocence.

　　Seeing Stanley who was teasing Nina with interest, Constantine felt a little bit in his heart. By the way, I heard that Stanley was in his 40s, because he had been adventurous in Africa all the time, and he was not married yet. He was a bachelor.

　　Maybe he likes young girls.

　　Thinking of this, Constantine took a look at the young and beautiful Nina next to him.

If you look at Stanley, who is attentively telling stories, it's really possible.

　　For Nina, who stayed in the court all year round and had few opportunities to communicate with the outside world, she was born as an orphan and lacked paternal love in the process of growing up.

　　As for Stanley, he has long been a man of several times in the crowd, with rich life experience and old experience.

　　People like Stanley, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is to Nina, what magnetite is to iron,

　　Doesn't it have a fatal attraction to Nina?

　　It's just that this guy is too old. He is in his 40s. I disagree with this marriage. Thinking of this, Constantine shook his head.

　　"Well, that's all for today's conversation." Constantine stood up and interrupted the two hotly chatting.

　　"Mr. Stanley, just stay in this hotel for a while, let me take care of all the expenses, and we have to go back," Stanley said.

　　"Okay, Lord Duke," Stanley stood up.

　　"No need to give it away, take a good rest"

　　Constantine took Nina and walked to the lobby. The lobby manager who was standing there hurriedly walked forward and said respectfully, "Excuse me, do you have any more needs?"

　　"The guest in the box will stay in your hotel for a while. This is my distinguished guest. Don't neglect," Constantine ordered.

　　"As for the expenses, I will pay for it, and I will let the butler pay for it later," Constantine said.

　　The manager held a small notebook in his left hand and his notes in his right hand, and said, "Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely satisfy your distinguished customers."

　　······

　　In the carriage on the way home, Constantine said to Nina who was still staring at the scenery outside the window: "Nina, when you go back, you tell Capet butler, I will invite others to go hunting tomorrow, and you can prepare him. ."

　　"Go hunting, I remember you don't like hunting," Nina tilted her head curiously.

　　"Just go hunting in name. I need to exchange feelings with a few friends," Constantine replied.

　　By the way, pull some more financing, Constantine thought.
