"If you just met an adult for the first time, it would be hard to imagine that he would become a famous figure in history. Under his sunny blond hair is a handsome and cheerful face, and he always has a kind smile. Even when facing people like us
The servant still speaks softly without any arrogance, without the so-called royal demeanor that the great nobles talk about. He speaks directly when he has something to say, and sometimes he shyly lowers his head and thinks, like a young man who has just started working.
Big boy."
"As soon as he spoke out, everything changed. In the negotiation that decided the fate of the three countries, the whole situation was controlled by the 'big boy' from the very beginning. 'Sha'er Silver Fox' Gagarol
Both Sir and 'Cid Wargod' Gauss are undoubtedly great heroes. History has proven their amazing wisdom and strength, but in the
During His Highness Roland's negotiations, they acted like children who had just debuted. In the end, the situation was completely controlled by His Highness. But in a sense, perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Three Places Alliance was the cornerstone.
, the New Northland Alliance with Donglan as its core has risen so quickly. - Excerpted from the memoirs of Cazorla, secretary of Lord Chauvin's Mansion."
"This... this is absolutely impossible!! You are lying! This... is definitely a forgery. No matter how true a forged portrait is, it can't mean anything!"
The surrounding mountains are so familiar. Just looking at the familiar surroundings, it is undoubtedly my hometown of Chauvin. However, unlike the daily prosperity of Chauvin, the portrait shows a wasteland with nothing.
There are no fools here. Gagarol has already guessed that if this portrait is real, it can only mean that either there has never been a civilization here. Or, that civilization has disappeared in the wind, and it was after complete destruction.
It took at least hundreds of years of neglect to form such a wasteland.
"Huh, who are you, what is his identity, and he will lie to you? You are exalting yourselves too much, take a look in the mirror!"
Faced with the host's doubts, when I touched my nose and smiled bitterly, Amyra started to arrogantly complain.
"Who is this?"
The Emerald who just jumped out is undoubtedly very eye-catching. According to Chauvin's intelligence, this is undoubtedly just an accompanying mage. He doesn't even have a robe or emblem that represents the price. He is probably an uncertified wild mage, but now this
The way he arrogantly scolded Gagarol showed the humility and caution expected of his entourage.
"Emila Milan, maybe you haven't heard of this name, but the former truth controller of Ainrodante should know that I haven't been around for about a hundred years. I don't know if young people today still remember it.
I."
I've heard of it, I've definitely heard of it. Judging from the fact that when they heard the name, they subconsciously pulled their chairs away to keep a distance, I'm afraid it still has a very impressive reputation.
"Well, Senior Sister Amyra, can I ask what you have done recently?"
I feel a little helpless. No matter how outrageous a house girl who has stayed at home for hundreds of years is, she will not be so powerful and domineering.
"Recently, I haven't done anything. I just accepted commissions and did some small business."
"Um, was the thorn forest of the Bayer Empire also your work? And the famous sleeping curse?"
The little clerk next to her suddenly interrupted, which made Amyra smile proudly.
"Of course, even though they were related to me, they dared not invite me to the little princess's birthday celebration, so I took revenge. When the little girl turned 16, a thorn needle was placed outside her room.
On the spindle, there is the poison of sleep that I prepared."
Hearing this, I vaguely realized that something that would ruin my outlook had happened, but at this time, Amyra was already laughing wildly with pride.
"Haha, she was stabbed in the finger and poisoned and fell into eternal sleep. Originally, I didn't want to go too far considering the relationship between relatives, so I left some solutions. How dare they send the knights to attack me? They are simply asking for death.
, so I simply arranged the thorn forest, blocked them all in, and let all those knights starve to death."
"Is that the legendary kiss of true love? It's so romantic! It's like a romantic love like a fairy tale!"
Sometimes, I really can’t understand women. It was obviously a terrorist attack that almost destroyed a kingdom, but it turned out to be a romantic legend in their eyes. At this time, the female secretary looked at Amyra with admiration on her face.
.
But Amyra shook her head directly.
"True love? Little girl, magic is not omnipotent, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. If I had known who was true love and who was fake love, I wouldn't have been deceived so miserably back then."
Speaking of this, her eyes flashed blood red, and she was obviously about to go berserk again, and that murderous intention just locked onto me, making my chest feel cold, but fortunately, the next moment, she returned to normal.
"It's just a little magic. I targeted a specific person. At that time, I lost confidence in men and thought they were all here for women. So, in order to find a good and honest husband for little Nana,
Son-in-law, I simply set it up so that only those who are interested in sex can lift the curse. Well, according to the world, it should be called necrophilia."
"Ah!"
The poor little girl was so frightened that her pen and notebook fell to the floor. How could she accept that the reality of the originally romantic and legendary love story was so devastating to her outlook on life?
"Huh, I've left a message with a solution a long time ago. This is just a well-intentioned little joke. Why are you trying to attack me? You can just find a necrophiliac to solve the problem. If it weren't for those relatives, I would have solved it long ago.
Called the door."
The proud Emira seemed to think that someone else was at fault, but I think Bayer didn't go to war with Ainrodante because of this, because he was already looking at the kinship.
"...I remember that Princess Fenna Milan finally married the prince who awakened him, and then that prince became the last emperor of the Bayer Empire, which means..."
Gagarol quickly covered the secretary's mouth. How can she say the rest of the words? The Bayer Empire is a super empire. If the news that the previous emperor was a necrophiliac spread from his side, then
But it's a huge problem.
"Actually, neither the Sleeping Poison nor the Wall of Thorns are my most proud works. The Snow Queen's Poison Apple of the Hill Kingdom is."
I vaguely guessed that the next message would definitely ruin my outlook. But by now it was too late to cover my ears.
"The queen and I have a good relationship. The poisonous apple she specifically asked for from me has the same type of toxin as the thorn poison. The target this time is still necrophiliac. But why are all the princes passing by necrophiliac?
It’s really confusing.”
"Snow-white princess and seven armed golden dwarves!? This is my favorite fairy tale, please stop telling it! It's ruining your childhood!"
Okay, where is the better place to complain about this? From the passing necrophiliac prince. Or from the golden dwarf warrior? Damn it, Emira, can't you do something normal and specialize in guest roles in various fairy tales?
Jump out and ruin your childhood?
"That 'little-footed Cinderella and the glass slippers that only she can wear?'? Could it be you too..."
"Oh, um, I am the protagonist this time. Don't you know there is a pumpkin carriage in the story? I am the witch who conjured the carriage. By the way, this time the prince is not a necrophiliac, but a foot fetishist.
, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to remember Cinderella’s face. He still had to try on each shoe with his shoes. It was so embarrassing that I deliberately kept the shoes. As expected, princes are all a bunch of perverts.”
"Are you so resentful of the prince? It is every girl's dream to marry a prince charming."
"Huh, that's how I was deceived back then. Now, the facts tell us women that princes are all a bunch of bastards and perverts! It's a pity that no publisher dared to publish my 'The Truth about Princes' with detailed data and rich examples.
, these cowardly bastards! It’s all facts that I personally experienced, but they’re not even willing to pay me for publication!”
Well, does this childhood destroyer actually plan to publish a book to completely destroy the image of the prince in the minds of the world? What a hatred!
So, after understanding why Amyra is so notorious, and after Gagarol and others moved away from their seats after hearing him announcing his name, as the only human prince present, and as the original author of this resentment, I
He also moved his seat further away without hesitation.
"Huh, let me tell you clearly, in the circle of demigods and true gods, Immortal Roland is much more famous than me. If you question him for deceiving you? First think about what you have that is worthy of his deception."
"Immortal Roland?"
This is the first time I heard this title. Haven't I been killed many times?
"Well, it means that you are like that black thing. You can't be killed no matter what. Even after you are killed, you can jump out and stir up troubles in a few decades. Although not easy to die is a characteristic of the strong, but
You are probably the only one who can be resurrected repeatedly despite being completely destroyed physically and mentally. The most important thing about a vengeful and unscrupulous deadbeat like you is that you cannot be killed no matter what, and you must always be careful about being retaliated against. No one would think that
Got into trouble."
Well, after hearing this, I paused for two seconds, and the system jumped out as expected.
[Ding! I got the demigod-level honorary title 'Immortal Roland'. After equipping it... it has no effect. This time it's really just a title. It's awesome and can scare people. It's not a system product. There's really nothing special about it.
It works. I can help you add a layer of cockroach hallucination coat, turning you into an upright cockroach Martian in the eyes of others. Do you want to try it? 】
Are there cockroaches on Mars? Just keep talking about the system. Didn’t I read the book before I traveled through time? They are obviously octopus people, okay?
Back to the topic, this negotiation was disrupted by Amyra. No matter what Gagarol and Gauss had originally prepared and how they agreed to advance and retreat together, they would inevitably be shaken by this.
And in a sense, bringing Amy La to negotiate is indeed a good idea. Even if we have not discussed it before, when we see the other party making a common move forward and retreat, one will make a red face, and the other will make a bad face, and directly drop a series of messages.
Bombs interrupt the other party's deployment and gain the initiative in negotiations.
When using the other party's information asymmetry to create an asymmetry in the situation, it creates an illusion that it doesn't matter whether we talk or not (in fact it doesn't matter), but the other party is facing an unknown prophecy of destruction, and naturally needs more information.
The situation has changed from us taking the initiative to come to our door to the other party begging us.
All this was just an exchange of looks after entering the door. At this time, we looked at each other and smiled. At this point, we have already won.
"If you exclude those difficult things, Amyra is very capable and cunning, so she is really a good partner. Especially when I want to maintain the image of the paladin hero prince. I dare to do anything and say anything.
She is simply my best substitute."
Such thoughts flashed through my mind, but in the deepest part of my mind, it was locked tightly, "Perverted murderer, crazy doctor with no conscience." Just these two difficult things can no longer be dealt with.
Clean it up.
Now is not the time to think too much. The top priority at this time is to take advantage of the uneasy mood of the negotiating opponent and intensify the pursuit.
"Two adults, I have a small suggestion. Perhaps, in order to deal with future crises, we should strengthen the communication channels between each other. Perhaps, an interdependent alliance is a good idea. What you have to pay is not much, but what you get is
Yes, it will be everything!”
---------------
After a long and arduous negotiation, when I stepped out of the lord's mansion, I was so happy that I wanted to sing.
But when I thought about my musical abilities that were comparable to Death's Throat Gloria, I gave up the idea, but my steps became brisker.
Now that the overall situation of the covenant has been decided, the rest is for the negotiators to slowly argue, and this covenant will be the greatest confidence for Donglan's rise.
"The food and human resources of the Chauvin Dominion are only the expected harvest, and the mining rights of the barbarian mountains will become the core of this new covenant!"
Yes, even if Prince Gauss doesn't come, I will go. I have already set my sights on their mountains.
It is a recognized fact that the Northland is a rich mining area in the entire continent, but the shallow mining areas in various kingdoms have been excavated and become the focus of competition. Today, Donglan lost the last mining area more than 20 years ago, and also lost
The foundation of establishing a foothold in the Northland is the reason for his continuous decline.
To reverse all this first, it is not enough to just reduce expenditures, but to open up new sources. At this time, after Donglan established the God of Law as the state religion, using war to seize the mining areas was no longer an option. So,
, there is only one way - to find new mining areas.
In fact, this is basically an impossible task. Every inch of land in Donglan has been repeatedly explored. Even if there are hidden mining areas, they are obviously beyond the exploration capabilities of current mining technology, which is not much different from nothing.
But in fact, there is indeed a rich ore-rich mountain range in the North that is still virgin land that has not been excavated, and many people know about it, but no one digs it. It is just that the mining technology is too difficult, and the effort and reward are disproportionate.
"For outsiders, gaining the trust of barbarians is simply unbelievable, but for the Arashi royal family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, this brotherly love has been maintained in wars and mutual aid for many years. Gaining the trust of barbarians and
It’s not difficult.”
"That's not the point. Even if you mine a gem mine, how do you plan to transport it down the mountain? The mountain road is not something that normal people can walk. It is precisely because of the near-absolute impossibility of transportation that no one has tried to mine that mining area for so many years.
Mountains."
"Haha, maybe it's time for you to introduce my proud creation - the Northern Lights of Jealousy!"
-----
After we left, Gagarol and Gauss changed their panic, and instead discussed the matter carefully and calmly.
"Brother Gauss, do you think what Roland said is true?"
The word "brother" carries a heavy weight among barbarians. If it is used casually to establish friendship, having one's teeth knocked out is considered a light thing. However, judging from Gauss's calm acceptance, the relationship between the two parties is not as strange as it appeared just now.
"Brother Gagarol, maybe being meticulous and cautious is your advantage, but this time you really thought too much. I can feel the goodwill of the other party, and I dare to guarantee with my life that what he said is definitely true."
In fact, the two have been sworn brothers for a long time, and they have frequent exchanges in their territories, but not many people know this secret.
"Um?"
"I don't know about your portrait, but the prophetic portrait of our holy land being destroyed must be true. You see, those huge stone sculptures have been broken into stones, but only a few tribal leaders know
, these stone carvings hidden in the mountains are actually the defense mechanism of the holy mountain. Ordinary tribesmen do not even know that these stone carvings were made by our ancestors, and their fragmentation can only be caused by forceful destruction by powerful enemies. This also shows that the tribe has arrived.
It’s the most dangerous time.”
"That's not enough. Maybe he got the information from a tribal chief."
"Haha, you are worrying too much, look at that giant."
It was a huge golden giant, with a huge war spear stuck in its chest and about to die, but the pattern on its chest was still shining.
"This is a secret that absolutely no one knows. The person on this should be me. My ultimate talent - the incarnation of the God of War, allows me to sacrifice everything before returning to the embrace of the God of War, and then transform into an invincible war giant. This is the gift of the ancient barbarians.
Even my father doesn’t know about this legendary talent, there’s no way he could have learned it from anywhere else.”
What this means is probably not only that the end is coming, but that the end is coming soon.
"You actually appeared in the prophecy? It seems that the day of destruction is coming much faster than expected. How about we talk to that Lord Roland."
"Huh? Don't you suspect that the other party lied to you?"
Hearing this, the silver fox, who would be famous for his resourcefulness in the future, smiled bitterly.
"As the crazy witch said, what kind of person are we, and who is that person? Are we worthy of being deceived by that person himself? I was overly worried. What we have to do now is to seize the opportunity to repair with him.
It's related. I can feel that he is a little dissatisfied with us."
"Well, ask your people to prepare a generous gift, and we will visit you in person tomorrow." (To be continued...)
