After the negotiation, Su Yu's mission log was updated.
"Ding! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (12/100)] has been completed, gain experience points x500."
"The next mission will start in 60 minutes, so stay tuned."
"Is this the end?"
After leaving Wolf Roar Castle, Su Yu rode Dima on the streets of the wealthy district and stretched.
But in his mind, he was still recalling and analyzing the negotiation just now.
This negotiation seemed stupid and funny. The negotiation didn't even say a few words at the beginning, but had to be stopped for special reasons.
But Su Yu knew that what was hidden under the negotiating table was a very complicated game.
Moreover, there are no losers in this game, and all three parties involved have achieved their goals.
Why do you say that?
Very simple.
The purposes of the princess, Duke Seve, and Duke Landilus are all different, but the three parties are surprisingly consistent in achieving their goals, that is - delaying time.
All three parties are stalling for time.
Let’s start with the princess first.
The princess seemed to be the one who most wanted to reach an agreement. She drove Jian Cong to Maple Leaf City just to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
But Su Yu knew that the princess was stalling for time.
In fact, the princess did not want to reach an agreement with the rebels. She just used negotiation as an excuse to buy time for her father to assemble an army at the rear. At the same time, she also bought time for her secret plan and the secret hands left behind.
Let’s talk about Duke Anzu Cypher.
Duke Cypher wants to extend the entire negotiation cycle as long as possible, preferably until the royal army is assembled.
In this way, Cutler's troops were unable to move south. Even if he achieved his goal, he would no longer go to war with the royal family, but consolidate the territory he had occupied.
And Duke Cypher is thinking even further:
Although the Plantagenet Empire is the most powerful human country in the world, there are two other major human empires in the world.
If the royal family is completely wiped out as Lantilus planned, the vitality of the empire will be seriously damaged, and the other two empires will inevitably have their thoughts.
So he had the idea of procrastination.
As for the last force - Duke Lantilus, he is actually stalling for time.
Lantilus's first attack plan against the princess failed, but they can still carry out a second one!
A second attack on the princess is already brewing.
It's just that they need sufficient preparation time. The longer the princess stays in Maple Leaf City, the more fully prepared they will be.
So the messenger delayed his arrival.
All three parties wanted to stall for time, so a funny scene appeared on the negotiation table - just a few words at the beginning of the negotiation, they announced an extension.
…
Su Yu analyzed carefully and quickly figured out the context of the entire incident.
But he is a player after all, and it is useless to analyze these things.
This level of intrigue is not something he can participate in. He just needs to complete his mission honestly.
…
Taking advantage of this hour, Su Yu went to the market to select a batch of good fodder for Dima.
After Dima had eaten and drank enough, Su Yu rode her to the leveling area to level up.
The level 20-25 leveling area in Maple Leaf City is on the Frost Cliff in the east.
There are very few monsters here, but Su Yu saw an old acquaintance here - the hydra.
Introduction: The basilisk has multiple heads, a huge mouth, a roaring and endless anger.
In addition to [Frost Hydra], there are [Cliff Hydra lv22] and [Rock Hydra lv23] in this area.
The last time he saw a hydra was when he and Tina entered Zangarmarsh.
This made Su Yu couldn't help but admire the survivability of the hydra clan.
"Hydras can really survive under any conditions! They can survive in swamps, they can also survive on cold cliffs, and there seems to be [Flame Hydras] in the magma. What a powerful race!"
Su Yu gave the hydra a thumbs up in his heart.
But likes are likes and it will not affect his leveling.
Su Yu put Dima's horse card back into his backpack, and then started the leveling process.
After reaching level 20, the monsters in the wild area became extremely sparse, and the overall attributes of the monsters also became higher. Su Yu's leveling speed was not as fast as when he was at lower levels.
But Su Yu didn't care, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat.
Besides, he wasn't very familiar with Maple Leaf City and had nothing to do except level up.
…
About 40 minutes later, an NPC guard wearing armor rode a horse to the edge of the leveling area.
The guard looked around, and soon saw Su Yu who was throwing spells at the hydra, and waved hurriedly: "Master Nemesis, it's me, Kelderon!"
The person who came was none other than the princess's personal guard Kelderon. He inquired with passers-by and finally found Su Yu in the leveling area.
"Oh, it turns out it's you!"
After Su Yu solved the hydra in front of him, he turned to look at him: "It's so late, why do you want to see me? Could it be that there is also a Lanque Street in Maple Leaf City? Do you want to take me with you?"
Su Yu has been admiring Lanque Street in Jinque City for a long time, but it is not open to players.
I heard that it was possible to get in if being led by an NPC, so Su Yu asked about it.
"Hi! How is that possible?" Kelderon shook his head in embarrassment: "We have business in Maple Leaf City, and we can't go to a place like that for fun... Her Royal Highness sent me to find you, she
I have something important to see you!"
"Oh? Your Royal Highness wants to see me?" Su Yu was a little surprised.
It is now 10 o'clock in the evening. The princess wants to receive him at this time. It can't be...
But thinking that the princess was only 14 years old, Su Yu immediately felt a giant river crab staring at him from behind.
His expression tightened: "Since it is the request of Her Royal Highness, let's set off as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll lead the way." Kelderon turned the horse's head.
...
Ten minutes later, Su Yu and Kelderon returned to Maple Leaf City and arrived at the residence where Princess Alijie was staying.
The residence provided by Duke Cypher to the princess is a very large and beautiful manor.
Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, the lights in the manor were still bright.
As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of rare flowers, sculptures, ponds and fountains.
There are also all kinds of servants and maids coming and going in the manor, but these servants and maids should be the eyes placed here by Duke Sever.
After entering the manor, Kelderon kept walking towards the deepest part of the manor without looking sideways.
Su Yu naturally followed closely.
In a hall at the deepest part of the manor, Su Yu met the princess Alijie again.
At the same time, Su Yu’s main plot has been updated again:
"Ding! Your main plot has been updated! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (13/100)]."
"Task requirement: Understand the thoughts of [Prince Alijie] and complete her commission."
"Task rewards: Random rewards based on task completion."
