Chapter 562 I can't see through the Sorcerer King!
At this time, Hou Lei Wen gave Hou Paul Lopu a wink. After all, Hou Lei Wen had already known what Paul Lopu had done.
The wink given to him here is a hint to him that if he wants to save himself, now is the last chance.
Although Marquis Raiven himself was not surprised that Ainz Ooal Gown asked the kingdom to pay the price.
After all, in negotiations between countries, it is the most appropriate way to let the other party make conditions and then bargain for more.
"The price we have to pay is..." Before Prince Zanak could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hou Paulopu behind him.
"Let me say it here! Prince Zanuck, as for the payment of the price, it is better for us as ministers to pay it!" Paul Loppe stood up, before Prince Zanak could speak.
Paul Lophou knew that if Prince Zanak spoke first, then the conditions he proposed would definitely be conditions aimed at weakening him, so he had to take action here first!
"Humph..." Prince Zanak gave Paul Lopp a very unhappy look, and then said no more.
"Oh...I really envy you that Your Excellency Bransa has such an upright and loyal minister!" Ainz Ooal Gown said meaningfully after hearing the speech of Lord Paul Lop.
As expected, Paul Lophou's condition was to transfer the ownership of another piece of land closest to Tiranyere.
Although there are no big cities in that land, there are still three sizable towns and five or six villages, and the land is also quite fertile.
The original owner of that land was Linton Bo, who died in an accident a few days ago. Not only that, Paul Lopu also proposed a considerable amount of "military expenses."
Needless to say... the source of this fund must have come from Lord Brumlash, who was in ill health. This was basically within Lord Raven's expectation.
After offering such a generous offer, Paul Lopu took a step back and stopped talking.
His Majesty Blanche was somewhat surprised by the conditions proposed by Lord Pauloup.
Although he had heard about the situation from Lord Raven in advance, in fact His Majesty Blanca had no idea how much Paul Lopu could sacrifice, but none of these things had anything to do with him.
"..." However, after Lord Paul Lop set out the conditions, Ainz Ooal Gown said nothing, and looked at His Majesty Blancha quietly.
Although no expression can be seen from his skull face, I have no idea what he is thinking at this time.
However, with the calm and composed aura exuding from him, Hou Lei Wen is now very suspicious... Are the conditions offered by Paul Lopu Hou also within his expectations?
After all, such a large piece of land comes with military expenses that can feed, drink, and have fun for the Kingdom's Knights for almost a year. This is a very generous condition no matter how you look at it.
However, the Sorcerer King didn't waver at all, no... let alone wavered, he didn't even show any signs of it.
Moreover, this kind of silence lasted for nearly a few minutes. Ainz Ooal Gown still looked the same, saying nothing or expressing anything. It was as if he hadn't heard what Paul Lop said just now.
of.
"Well, Your Majesty the Sorcerer King, is there anything else you are dissatisfied with?" Raiven Hou couldn't wait any longer. Such an opponent was too difficult to deal with, and it was completely impossible to see what he was thinking.
What he did before was completely unreasonable. This kind of opponent who can't see through or figure out his heart, and doesn't play according to the routine is the most troublesome.
"Huh? You shouldn't ask me this question, right? Yili... what do you think?" Ainz Ooal Gown had a little reaction, only a little reaction to...
I saw him lift up the white and skeletal hand, lifted it casually, and said with an attitude of not caring at all.
"Huh? Father? Do you even have to leave this decision to me?" Princess Elizabeth showed a rather surprised expression.
Seeing Princess Elizabeth's reaction, Hou Lei Wen was somewhat relieved. After all, Princess Elizabeth's reaction was within the reasonable range in Hou Lei Wen's heart.
In other words...in Hou Lei Wen's heart, Princess Elizabeth is someone who can see through and be figured out.
After all, what she does and her thinking patterns are the same as normal people, and they all conform to the principle of rationality.
Originally, Princess Elizabeth, as the spokesperson of the Sorcerous Kingdom, had posed the problem to the Kingdom very straightforwardly, and the Kingdom also made conditions.
So as long as the Sorcerous Kingdom's supreme leader, Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, puts forward his own opinion, does he feel that the conditions are not in line with his expectations and continues to bargain? Or does he accept it in full?
This was within the reasonable scope of Raiven Hou's mind. However... Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown's reaction was completely unreasonable.
Even leaving the final decision to Princess Elizabeth? In other words, the Sorcerer King has planned to leave this matter entirely to Princess Elizabeth.
So why did he come here? With such doubts, Raiven Hou naturally turned his attention to Ainz Ooal Gown.
Then he noticed a small movement that Ainz Ooal Gown was making right now, that is, the skeletal fingers he placed flat on his legs were tapping his legs up and down rhythmically. This small movement...could it be that he had already
Are you impatient?
"As I said just now, I'll leave this matter to you and I won't interfere." After Ainz Ooal Gown said this, he stopped clicking his fingers.
Seeing all this, Lei Wenhou couldn't help but frown. In fact, it was all his fault. In his opinion, Ainz Ooal Gown's behavior was completely unreasonable.
Yes... is it inconsistent with common sense from the perspective of a normal person? Is the Sorcerer King a normal person?
No...he's not! From the comfortable attitude at the beginning to the impatient little movements now, doesn't it clearly reveal a message?
That is! From the very beginning... the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown had already grasped the outcome of this meeting. Even if he left full power to his kind-hearted daughter, the final result was within his own expectation.
among.
That’s why the Sorcerer King was so impatient when Princess Elizabeth was waiting for her father’s decision just now after she proposed conditions to Paul Lopp!
In other words... whatever benefits Princess Elizabeth obtains from the Kingdom after negotiating with the Kingdom are within his expectation and within his own control.
Damn it! I can’t see through this guy at all. What bigger conspiracy is this guy planning?
