"I have never understood why the Snow Fox proposed a deal with us. They are an extremely closed sub-human race. They have not left the tribe in the past hundreds of years, but now they take the initiative
To contact the Turan family, and even be willing to use the clan's mark that they regard as a treasure as a bargaining chip, it is simply unbelievable."
Below the deck of the Narwhal, a vague male voice came from the end of the floor where Fisher had been dining. If you identify it carefully, you can recognize it. It seems to be the voice of Balzac, Valentina's subordinate.
.
In addition to the dining room on the second floor below the deck, it is actually where Valentina's team works together. The office room is almost located at the bow of the ship, and the space is very spacious, much larger than Fisher's in Saint-Nali.
University lecture halls are much more spacious.
In addition to a large wooden round table, tall bookshelves and soft sofas, a layer of expensive glass is placed at the front of the room, allowing for extremely good lighting and views.
At this time, the Narwhal had just sounded its whistle and was preparing to leave the port of the Nebarun Kingdom for Mia. At the same time, it was also the habitat where the Snow Fox species, one of the Snow Mountain Familia, had lived for generations. Like the Cloud Cat species, they were
The Phoenix King enfeoffed her youngest child [Princess Moon] and became her vassal.
Fisher sat in this spacious office, holding a cup of coffee, and looked thoughtfully at Balzac, who was pacing back and forth in front of a huge map of the North on the wall of the room. He was preparing for the next meeting with Snow Fox.
I was preparing for various negotiations, but obviously the progress was not smooth, so I had to keep writing and drawing and talking to myself to clarify my ideas.
There are obvious functional differences between the demihuman races under the jurisdiction of Prince Frost and Prince Ice. The northern section of the North ruled by Princess Moon has presented a natural and peaceful landscape since ancient times. Legend has it that Princess Moon bestowed equality to all living things.
The right to survive, let the tribes under their wings recuperate and recuperate through inaction, as compensation for that unprecedented war.
Therefore, the cloud cat species and snow fox species living there are no more special than other species in terms of status, but more like mascots. They are well known in modern times solely because of their fluffy and soft white hair.
Because of this, Fisher has reason to believe that the god [Frost Phoenix] believed by modern northerners is actually a combined version of the Phoenix King and the three Phoenix Sons.
The "Frost Phoenix" in the myth of the North encourages business, the courage and strength to fight, and the mutual aid and symbiosis of different species. They respectively correspond to the most grumpy but also the most powerful "Ice Prince", who is keen on doing business and making money.
[Frost Prince] and the kindest and gentlest [Moon Princess].
Time is the most unreasonable thing, and Fisher didn't know how the image of the phoenix species was mixed up like this by humans or other species.
After listening to Balzac's puzzling words just now, Phyllis, who was also sitting on the chair, yawned and seemed a little uninterested. Then, the muffin ears on her head twitched, as if there was something wrong.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, he clapped his hands and shouted to Balzac,
"I know! They must have gone to the boss's family because they were short of money?!"
"."
Balzac looked at Phyllis with an expression that looked like a fool. Although he had long known the truth that "ivory cannot come out of a dog's mouth", every time Phyllis opened his mouth, the lower limit of this phrase was refreshed, leaving him dumbfounded.
He sighed and was speechless to answer Phyllis, but Fisher, who was sitting far away, put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Balzac and asked,
"Didn't the Turan family tell Miss Valentina why the snow fox species suddenly agreed to negotiate?"
Balzac looked at Fisher, shook his head and said,
"Unfortunately, they did not disclose any details about the negotiations. And because of the xenophobia of the Snow Fox species, even the Turan family, whose power is pervasive in the north, has difficulty knowing the specific situation."
After that night at the Moon Rabbit Temple, his attitude towards Fisher quietly changed a little. Although he was not very warm and familiar, he was still polite, because he had realized that this man from Namibia
Li's gentleman not only made great achievements in academics, but most importantly, he was very good at fighting. It was more than enough to hit him ten times anyway, so his attitude was naturally much gentler.
Phyllis next to her immediately slumped down on the chair with some irritation after hearing this, and kept looking at the clock on the wall, as if calculating how much time was left before dinner.
"Then since we don't know anything, why don't we just discuss it here and wait until the other party makes a request before thinking about it?"
It can be seen that Phyllis doesn't like things that use her brain very much, and it has been winter since arriving in the north. In the winter in the southern continent, the lion race has to sleep well?!
Balzac glared at her with hatred and cursed,
"Preparation is necessary. Are you going to make the same mistake as Heldor?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became quiet for a moment. Phyllis also sat up straight and glanced behind her. After not seeing the figure in the wheelchair, she turned her head angrily and looked at Barr.
Zach cursed,
"Of course I don't want to! Then you should come up with some useful method. It's been almost all morning. In addition to asking questions, I still asked questions. When the boss asked me to come over, in order to solve the problem, you kept asking questions.
use!"
"Your mother."
Even Balzac Hahn, who comes from a traditional academic family in Swali, couldn't help but swear when he heard Phyllis's words. If he was stronger, he would definitely let this damn illiterate lion know how to get beaten.
The taste of.
Fisher knew that the two people in the distance were not familiar with each other. He had almost gotten used to it during the time he boarded the ship. At this time, he just took the "Compilation of History of the Northern Territory" on the table next to him. This book
The book records a lot of history and folklore in the North, including the unique sub-race of the Snow Fox species, which allowed this foreign scholar from Nali to supplement his knowledge here.
It does not record the appearance of the snow fox species, but it records their most distinctive feature, which is their sharp nose.
It’s not that their noses are so weird. As a demi-human race among the six races that is loved by the Moon Princess, their appearance is certainly not very ugly. Their noses are mentioned here because it is said that they can use their smell to
To judge other people's emotions and personalities, any lies, concealment and malice will be invisible to their keen noses.
In ancient times when the Phoenix was in charge of the Northern Territory, the Snow Fox species were natural diplomats and the most majestic judges in the court. When Princess Moon was away, they were the ones to mediate conflicts at the northern end of the Northern Territory. But since the Phoenix
After they disappeared, of course no one listened to their advice anymore, so they hid themselves and stopped communicating with other malicious races.
It is precisely because of the special abilities possessed by the Snow Fox species that Balzac wanted to make some preparations in advance. Their abilities are so useful at the negotiation table that they can easily win over their bargaining chips.
"Mr. Balzac, let's put aside the snow fox species for now. We already have three imprints of the Cang Bird, the Moon Rabbit and the Cloud Cat in our hands. The rest, except for the snow fox species whose location is already known,
Are there any traces of the troll species and slime species left?"
Balzac, who almost had a fight with Phyllis in the distance, nodded and glanced at the ice-covered ocean outside the Narwhal. On the other side of the sky, the majestic Sema Snow Mountain was hidden in the clouds.
, showing its mystery and majesty to outsiders,
"Yeah, but these two marks are not easy to get. So far, there are no clues at all. The slime species are too scattered. Unlike the other clans that have fixed settlements, I heard that in recent years
Many slimes have left the North to do business in other places. I even suspect that they have sold the marks. As for the troll species, there is not even a single confirmable news.
, it seems that they have completely turned into myths and legends along with the Phoenix, but some people say that they are still living somewhere in the Sema Snow Mountain."
Fisher tapped the cover. The records about several types of Familia in the book all showed that the six types of Familia have not had a very good life so far. Not only did humans forget the contributions they had made by following the Phoenix species, but even Shuangxue
The curse of the sycamore tree seems to be the most punishing for them. Why is this?
Emhardt on his shoulder usually did not participate in the discussion. He just yawned and let Fisher read the content in his hand. When he had any questions and asked him, he would read the contents in his stomach. Fisher had copied and supplemented the contents before.
The knowledge in the manual hurt him terribly. It seemed that he had suffered some kind of unspeakable internal injury and needed a good rest, so he spoke very little today.
At this moment, the door behind Fisher suddenly opened. He turned around and saw the white-haired girl in a wheelchair appearing at the door. She had changed into a black northern lady's robe. This kind of
The characteristic of the clothes is that they are relatively thick, so Valentina looks very elegant. Even the wheelchair underneath her cannot hide this.
She is like a butterfly that cannot flap its wings, statically displaying the beauty of its wings.
"boss."
"Miss Valentina."
Balzac and Phyllis both stood up and said hello, but Fisher didn't move his body and just said hello politely, which made Valentina look at him more, but she didn't care.
"Don't worry too much. Since the Snow Fox species took the initiative to contact us, it means that they have something very urgent and need our help. As the requested party, of course we have the initiative, and the other two races. Slime species
Although they are very scattered, there seems to be some way to connect with each other. When the time comes, we can find a slime and lure them with a lot of money."
For some reason, it was clear that the person Valentina was talking about "producing with large sums of money" was the legendary greedy slime, but at this moment, the person who subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva was actually the lion-human Felice next to her.
"There are still two days until we arrive in Mia. During this period, I hope you will have a good rest and wait until you arrive in Mia to officially start working. Before that, I will pay you the salary for hiring you."
"Yeah! Long live the boss!"
Phyllis jumped for joy when she heard this. Although Balzac was helpless, he rubbed his brows without the headache this time, and seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming salary.
Valentina smiled, and the two maids behind her each came in carrying a plate covered with red cloth, and respectfully placed the plate in front of Phyllis and Balzac. Balzac said thank you.
But she didn't lift the red cloth to check the contents immediately. Phyllis didn't care about it at all. She directly opened the red cloth, picked up the bundles of Northern Territory banknotes inside and started rubbing them.
There is a lot of large-scale trade in the Northern Territory, so large-denomination banknotes are issued for easy use. One of these is 20,000 Northern Territory silver dollars. You can know how much money there are in those bundles of money randomly placed on the plate.
Counted.
At this moment, the pride of the Turan family fully blossomed in the frail girl, but Fisher blinked, glanced at the nothing in front of him, and then glanced at the people behind him.
Smiling Valentina.
Um?
I said before that I didn’t need it. Is it possible that the achievement is really gone?
Fisher glanced at Valentina. Although he didn't speak, the look in his eyes probably meant the same thing. However, he didn't expect that Valentina, who was smiling just now, happened to turn her head to look at Fisher, just in time with him.
looked into each other's eyes.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when she saw this scene, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened to a very imperceptible arc. Maintaining a profound calm, she raised her head and glanced at the ceiling.
"Celty has been busy with the machinery above during this period, and her salary has been given to her. I have to rely on her to enter the Sema Snow Mountain in the future, otherwise I will not be able to enter the Sema Snow Mountain in my state. Ah, almost
I forgot, and Mr. Fisher forgot to send it, I’m really sorry.”
It wasn't until she finished her sentence that Valentina "suddenly" realized something, and "behind the scenes" she turned her attention to Fisher sitting on the chair.
"."
Fisher was speechless and did not interrupt her rough acting skills. He just sat there and watched her performance. However, Miss Valentina was obviously very conservative. This extra "little action" was already the limit of her liveliness.
, she did not continue to tease Fisher, but smiled and invited him,
"According to your previous request, I have prepared your reward for you. Do you want to go and see it with me now?"
Um?
My previous request?
That night, it seemed that all I asked was to study the demihuman race?
Fisher slowly closed the book in his hand, thinking this.
