1231 Tell the Truth and Bluff
When he saw Fogen again, the Emperor of the Tempest Empire was able to calm down on what had happened to him.
At least now he knew how far he was from Godβhe was more or less comfortable with anything after the incident of his own capture.
Although he still didn't know why the other party could know that he was in the palace at the time, after seeing that the other party was able to fly, he had almost guessed a rough idea.
Because they could fly through the air, scouting should be a breeze for these gods.
Frankly speaking, he actually guessed correctly, because it was really a satellite of the Orchid Hill Empire, monitoring the movement of the Tempest Empire brigade on the ground.
It's just that he couldn't guess at all how terrifying the real height of the other party's thing flying above his head was.
"Get up! I don't blame you anymore. With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Tempest Empire, a middle-aged man named Noshar Tempest, waved his hand at Fergen and commanded.
Then, he sat opposite Marven and kept as much of the courtesy as possible of an imperial emperor: "I am Noble Tempest, the emperor of the Tempest Empire!" β
He has now mastered the lingua franca of the Empire, and although he is not yet fluent, there are no barriers to communication at all.
This is all thanks to the magic of the knowledge orb, which allows the user to grasp a lot of knowledge in books at once as long as it inputs energy.
For the kind of knowledge that doesn't need to be modified by rote memorization, the role of the knowledge ball is especially huge. Things like language and laws and regulations can be mastered very quickly using the knowledge ball.
In the past, I made a translation like Haji because there would inevitably be errors when the computer collected words for analysis, so I had to find some irrelevant people to experiment with them.
Now that more and more words are being analyzed, and the accuracy is getting higher and higher, it is no longer necessary to cultivate specialized translations.
As for civilians like Haji, they were naturally assigned to some less important working groups and continued to exert their spare energy.
"Marven, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Irlanhill Empire." Marven introduced himself, and then opened his mouth to correct the other party's words: "You shouldn't continue to call yourself the emperor, because in the entire universe, there is only one emperor!" Only His Majesty, the Emperor of our empire, can be called Emperor. β
"Although I have been captured, I am still the emperor of the Tempest Empire, and this cannot be changed." Northhar pointed at himself and said to Marven with a sneer: "I haven't abdicated yet!" β
"Then sign this prepared edict of abdication!" Marven took out one from a stack of documents, pressed it on the table and pushed it to Nuoshar: "Write your name here, and then stamp the seal of your empire, which you called the seal of the state seal before......"
"......" Noble really wanted to tell this bastard named Marven in front of him that this is not how negotiations are talked!
How can it be negotiated to let the emperor himself abdicate as soon as it comes up? This has touched the fundamental interests of the royal family, how can we talk about it?
"Even if you kill me, the remaining ministers of the Tempest Empire will still elect an emperor to ......" Suppressing his anger, Noble gritted his teeth and emphasized to Marven.
His meaning is obvious, that is, to warn Marven not to think that if he is captured, he can do whatever he wants.
"I think you misunderstood, capturing you was just an accident, we were just trying to find a negotiator who could have the final say." Marven opened his mouth to explain.
At this point, he looked at Fergen with some pity and continued to explain: "There is no way, we wanted to talk to Mr. Fergen before, but he said that he could not be the master. So we had to set out on our own and find someone who could call the shots. β
"As a result, what we didn't expect was that we arrested you directly." Marven smiled when he said this: "But it's good, at least we found a negotiation target that is most useful to talk to, isn't it?" β
After explaining, Marven opened his mouth again and continued: "Moreover, I hope you don't get me wrong, the reason why the Irlanhill Empire emphasizes the uniqueness of the emperor is not because you were captured, but because this is a matter of the dignity of the Irlanhill Empire. β
"Excuse me, do you think there will be a god who will tolerate those small beings calling themselves gods?" Marvin made a little analogy.
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, and the five fingers curled and stretched slightly, and a flame appeared in his palm.
The flame was like a life, beating in Marven's palm, emitting dangerous heat, but it didn't hurt Marven's palm in the slightest.
Soon, the flame turned into a small fiery snake that swam around Marven's fingers, jumping and tumbling around his fingertips.
"We are not targeting the Tempest Empire, but in our opinion, all those who claim to be emperors, all the forces that claim to be empires, are targets that we must exterminate!" In the frightened eyes of several people, Marven put away the flame in his palm and said to himself.
"We have the power to destroy the mountains, the power to break the earth apart. We can evaporate the oceans, and we can turn all life to ashes. Without waiting for Noble to speak, he continued.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the few people in front of him and said solemnly: "I emphasize once again, if you don't believe everything I say, then I will let you go and let you go back." β
"After that, the armies of the Ellan Hill Empire will directly use weapons of mass destruction to wipe your cities off the world." He finished speaking in one breath, and then pressed his hand on the abdication edict again: "Sign it, or reject it...... Live or die! There's only one option I can give you. β
The Emperor of the Tempest Empire, Noshar Tempest, stared at Marven, hoping to see the bluff on the other man's face. But he was disappointed, because Marven's face was full of calm, as if everything he said just now was taken for granted.
In fact, although Noble didn't know, Marven himself knew it. He wasn't bluffing at all, he was just telling a fact.
In fact, a long, long time ago, the diplomats of the Irranhill Empire stopped bluffing. They just tell the truth, and it's up to them to believe the facts that sound ridiculous, but aren't exaggerated at all.
