Chapter 168: Are you embarrassed? (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
Question:
When you are curious about someone and want to find out what kind of person they are, what should you do?
[Choice 1: Ask others and listen to other people’s opinions?]
[Option 2: Investigate carefully, sort out and analyze the details of this person, and make a detailed profile? 】
[Option 3: Or say...]
Tsk!
How can there be so many things!?
There is nothing to hesitate about!
Wouldn't it be better to just call him over and see him in person?
Therefore, Shirin, who originally planned to let the Silver Council go, changed her mind on the spot.
Regardless of anything else, he directly brought the waiting Sophie over.
Don’t talk about anything else first, come here and let me be healthy!
Sophie thought Legend had some profound meaning in summoning her at this time...
Not at all!
This is just two vigilant women wanting to observe a potentially dangerous target.
Examining, thinking, comparing...
Curious about what attracted Ning Feng to her?
As for the fact that Ning Feng was not attracted but came in after being invited by Sophie, it is not important.
There were many people who wanted to invite him, so why did he only go with her?
Stop covering it up.
There must be something fishy in this!
If Shirin was the only one who discovered it, she would at most continue to hide behind the screen and peek, secretly seeing what was going on, and not have the courage to call people over directly.
This is the pain of social fear.
Jiang Wan also has social phobia, but she is different from Shilin who has social phobia...
She is a "social terrorist".
Jiang Wan has always been very brave when it comes to matters involving Ning Feng, and there is nothing embarrassing about this kind of thing.
However, fighting spirit alone is not enough for many things.
Poor Jiang Wan didn't have the means to observe Ning Feng for a long time except for the bad woman sensor radar, so she was often robbed of her home, or just robbed her home...
One is strong but has no intention, the other is has no intention.
What will happen when these two "social terrorists" come together?
This combination is definitely not just as simple as one plus one equals two.
At least, even Sophie, who has experienced many battles in the social vanity fair, felt a little uneasy when facing these two pairs of beautiful eyes that looked at her seriously.
What's going on!?
Why are these two people looking at me like this?
and……
Sophie was keenly aware of the difference in the gazes of the two men.
The legend in a high position, the gentle and mature-looking woman, although her eyes were equally revealing, the emotions contained in them were more of curiosity and a touch of kindness.
It’s like saying again:
【Hello, I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid.】
As for the young woman who was leading Sophie, the warning in her eyes was not much concealed, as if she was looking at a bad guy who was approaching her treasure.
【I’m not good! I’m the evil one! You’d better be afraid!】
"……Well?"
Sophie blinked and looked at the guard who naturally walked up to stand behind the legend, and she thought of a possibility.
The familiarity and intimacy between them in every move, the eye contact when they look at each other...
In this way, there is no sense of distance. If these two women are not superiors and subordinates, but lovers, everything seems to be made clear.
In fact, it seems to make sense if they are just good friends.
But there is no way.
The preconceived idea was so strong that Sophie couldn't help but think about it.
Moreover, the more Sophie thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and she could even start knocking on the spot...
The jealous guard is guarding and resisting the approach of any woman who can affect their relationship.
But Legend doesn't care about such things, he is still interested in other women, and treats them all equally.
Case solved!
[Gentle female legend × cold female guard]
Goo.
After she was really sure of this, Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn't it just selling a little color?
This sister is good at it.
Regardless of men or women, the routine is the same.
As long as you provide some seemingly non-existent benefits in the process, but get nothing in the end, you can continue to stimulate the other party to continue investing.
As the saying goes: "Woman, you caught my attention."
Just as she was about to change her routine, Sophie suddenly woke up:
"No! This is just a conjecture. More evidence is needed to confirm..."
Just as she was thinking about it, Sophie saw the guard with a cold expression walking behind Legend and slowly raising his hand behind her back.
Because of the angle, Sophie couldn't see what the other party did, but she saw the result.
"……ah!"
Sophie watched helplessly as Legend with a gentle smile bounced his upper body forward, then turned his head with a red face and glanced at the guard with his eyes, a bit shy on his face.
Shy...
Even if I was there, I would flirt like this, this couple is definitely real.
Okay, it’s basically time to put it into practice!
At this time, the two people, who were thought to have great power by the silver noble lady, began to whisper.
Shilin's aggrieved voice sounded in Jiang Wan's mind:
"Why are you pinching my waist?"
Very sensitive!
It made me look embarrassed...
Jiang Wan, on the other hand, remained expressionless and spoke in her heart without mercy:
"Don't just stare blankly, ask instead!"
Say something!
"oh."
Not even guessing what Sophie was thinking, Shireen coughed slightly, turned around and said:
"Ahem... Jia Silin? You came to me, what's the matter?"
Shireen adjusted her expression and looked at Sophie calmly, but the legendary aura from her body was slowly dissipating.
It’s different.
Sophie has seen many legends, some of whom are approachable and able to communicate normally, and some who are withdrawn, cold and unwilling to speak.
But these people all have one thing in common, which is their inimitable momentum and coercion.
That is the soul after transformation and sublimation, and it is a strong person who transcends ordinary things.
Sophie no longer had any doubts about the aura Shireen displayed at this moment.
Putting aside the messy thoughts in her heart, regardless of whether they were present or not, Sophie lowered her head respectfully and said:
"Dear Sir Legend, I am here to visit you this time to convey to you the goodwill from the Silver Council."
"We are willing to provide you with some support, whether it is resources or other aspects, as long as you need it."
"And what we are asking for is that you can provide some small help at some point in the future."
Direct and frank, the Silver Council's behavior is not a secret, and there is no point in hiding it.
After saying that, Sophie raised her head, looked at Shireen with a sincere expression, and emphasized:
"This is not a transaction, it's just mutual help between friends."
It's not a strict restriction, it's just a normal interaction.
With such a low requirement, most legends would no longer resist and would gladly accept it.
As for Shirin, who looked at Sophie's sincere eyes, her expression remained unchanged, and she even tilted her head a little flatly:
"Oh, that's it...what will the others do?"
Without thinking, Sophie answered immediately:
"In the legend of the Silver Council's first contact, 60% agreed to cooperate with us, 30% chose to wait and see, and 10% explicitly refused."
"And among the 30% who chose to wait and see, 10% finally agreed to cooperate with us."
Holding her head high, confident and proud, Sophie is proud of what the Silver Council has achieved.
70% of the legends are willing to be on good terms with the Silver Council. This is a foundation and a sign of strength.
She didn't think about the legend in front of her, and she didn't think that a spellcaster would refuse their invitation.
"Then just like everyone else, I don't have any special requirements."
A calm voice sounded, causing Sophie's confident expression to change slightly, and she carefully observed Shireen.
I agreed, but the other party didn't seem to care very much.
Pretending to be proud?
But it's really not.
Shirin really didn't take the resources and help provided by the Silver Council into consideration.
Spellcasters, especially mages, are magical beings.
They are really rich!
But most of the time mages have no money.
It sounds unreasonable, right? But the reason is actually very simple.
No magic prop is cheap. The higher the level, the more expensive it is. As long as they can make some, it stands to reason that mages will not be short of money.
But the cost of production, success rate, and difficulty are on the one hand, and what is more realistic and important is how to sell and realize cash.
Without sales and corresponding acquirers, no matter how good the magic props are, they can only be thrown into the hands.
Moreover, the advancement of spellcasters, and even daily improvements, require a lot of money to support.
Experimental materials cost money, top laboratories also need money, and research on ideas also needs money...
Moreover, most of their wealth was exchanged for equipment and equipment needed for their own combat and research.
Probably, spellcasters have a lot of fixed assets, but little cash flow on hand, and maintenance requires a lot of expenses.
Perennially on the red line of struggling to maintain profits and losses, spellcasters mostly choose to accept the olive branch offered by the Silver Council.
Who wouldn’t like it if you rushed to give money to your enemy?
But Shirin is different, she really doesn't care.
Shireen is a legendary alchemist. Unlike some spellcasters who study pure theory but cannot realize it, she is not short of money.
Not to mention anything else, as long as she could master a few exclusive legendary potion formulas, she wouldn't have to worry about being short of money.
More importantly, Shireen must be affiliated with the Watch Club.
What is this concept?
This means that with Watch Club as support behind her, Shirin does not need to worry about sales at all.
Just package it up and sell it to the Watch Club. Anyway, it will accept anyone who comes, live well, and earn money quickly.
As for the price being lower, that's more normal, because the materials she purchased were also bought at a low price, so there was no loss at all.
In addition, a very important point is that Shireen is already two hundred and eighty years old.
She has saved money for many years and has already gone through the most difficult and difficult time of having no money...
It has been twenty years since she entered the legend. As a salty fish who doesn't have much desire to continue to improve her strength, Shireen happily entered the paradise of messing up.
Therefore, Shirin really doesn't care about her friendship with the Silver Council. It doesn't make any difference if there is one more or one less.
"Then this matter has been settled. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
Sophie blinked, wondering why the other party made such a quick decision?
"Uh, there's nothing else to do..."
Are you in a hurry?
"Now that these insignificant things have been talked about, let's talk about the real stuff!"
Shirin suddenly changed her expression at this time and looked at Sophie with burning eyes:
