Chapter 606: Variables II.
Crunch!
The door to the conference hall was pushed open with a bang, and Dean's figure appeared there.
"Lord Zelgaon!"
"Yes, Lord Zelgaon!"
"You are truly our hero!"
……
When they saw clearly that it was Dean standing outside the door, the nobles in the hall said one after another, that kind of enthusiastic and flattering words, and one by one respectful demeanor, as if Dean had great prestige and reputation among them, without the slightest appearance of turning a blind eye to Dean or having a cold attitude.
Dean sneered and glanced at the nobles.
As for the purpose of these aristocrats' deferential practices, Dean is naturally very clear.
It's nothing more than to make this war start smoothly.
After all, what he is now holding is the title of the third golden powerhouse of Jadeite.
He was an indispensable part of this war.
Even for the sake of victory in the war, these nobles will know what to do, after all, for the sake of that 'honor', what is it to temporarily endure the 'humiliation'?
Dean guessed this thought very lightly from the expressions on the faces of several nobles.
And this made Dean's sneer more and more cold.
"Zelganqing, please come here!"
In the distance, the young king beckoned to Dean and gestured to the only remaining chair at the round table in a very approachable manner.
Dean walked over silently and sat down.
His gaze was on the Marquis of York and the Archduke of Emerald.
The former was still arrogant, and nodded at Dean, which was a kind of limit.
The latter, on the other hand, looked calm, even, with a hint of gloom, even in the face of Dean, he only tried to show a smile, and then he was still there again.
Dean's gaze paused, and then he looked at the young king.
He knew that the young king in front of him was the culprit who made the Emerald Grand Duke feel depressed and betrayed.
Naturally, Dean was furious about this.
However, Dean did not question or rebuke anything loudly.
As for the fact that the Emerald Grand Duke invited King Seti in his personal name, Dean was sure that those present would know what was going on.
However, in order to be more in line with their own interests, they pretend to be deaf and dumb as if they do not know.
After all, it was in their interest to push this matter onto the head of the Jade Grand Duke.
In fact, weakening the prestige of the Emerald Grand Duke has always been what they want to do, and a royal family member who is strong enough to turn any situation around is something that every nobleman does not want to see.
And this time, they finally got their chance.
Even, there is no need for them to do too much, the younger brother of the Jade Grand Duke, the young king, Ike. Nick helped them do their best.
Thinking of the filthy nature of these nobles, and the eagerness of the young king to prove himself, Dean couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
There are both for the former and for the latter.
"Zeerganqing, do you have any plans and strategies? If you have one, please bring it up and we'll be able to talk about it here! ”
The young king did not see the sarcasm on Dean's face at all, he only saw a smile, and he took such a smile as a kind of recognition.
The blind king asked directly.
"Your Majesty, I have a not-so-mature idea!"
Dean said.
"Say it!"
The young king said bluntly.
"I killed Fenders and made Nuel disappear, and if there is a war next, I will face Mortig, Brunn. Parker or one of the ...... of King Syti"
"Hmm!"
Dean lengthened his voice, and the young king nodded, agreeing with the statement.
In fact, any arrangement for this war is inseparable from the battle of the golden powerhouse.
In other words, between countries, it is a war dominated by the golden powerhouse.
The Marquis of York and some nobles on the side seemed to have discovered something, and they all frowned.
And as if to prove the discovery of the Marquis of York and some nobles, the next moment, Dean said very directly-
"Since I am facing three of the five golden powerhouses of Sitty, then in this war, I want three-fifths of the gains, land, population, and wealth!"
Dean said word by word, earnestly.
"Impossible!"
The Marquis of York shouted loudly, and the surrounding nobles also echoed.
"So half is always okay, right? I think it's proportional to what I'm facing! ”
Dean took a step back in thought.
"Dean. Willing. Zelgaon, are you kidding us? As a courtier of His Majesty and a nobleman of Jade, is this how you show your loyalty and honor? ”
The Marquis of York stared at Dean angrily.
"Loyalty? Glory? ”
Dean couldn't help but sneer at the angry Marquis of York, he sat there and looked around, his knife-like gaze made the nobles who were seen dodge and did not dare to look at each other.
Eventually, Dean's eyes returned to the Marquis de York.
"At least I'm more loyal and honorable than some people, and more in line with the Emerald aristocracy - a bunch of greedy and insatiable guys!"
Dean said slowly, with a thick mockery in his tone.
Even, is merciless. Insult. Scold.
"What?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You're insulting our honor!"
……
Hear Dean bring. Insult. The surrounding nobles couldn't suppress their anger and yelled at Dean loudly, and some even wanted to rush at Dean.
However, the next moment, as if they had thought of something, they immediately stopped.
Then, at Dean, he let out an even more frantic yelling.
"You're making enemies of the entire Emerald nobles!"
The Marquis of York could no longer suppress his anger, and slapped it on the table with a fierce palm.
Bang!
In the dull sound, the solid wood table was torn apart, and the fragments were about to fly in all directions.
However, a thick layer of frost covered it in the next moment.
The slapped and torn tables were 'glued' together by the frost.
And the temperature of the entire hall suddenly dropped a lot with the appearance of frost, which made many nobles tremble.
"Enemies of the entire Emerald nobility? Didn't I do it before? Or do you think they've turned enemies into friends by complimenting me twice? You wouldn't be so naïve, would you? ”
Dean withdrew his palm from the table and looked at the Marquis of York with a smile.
And this time, even the furious Marquis of York did not say anything.
Because, this qiē is true.
Since Dean appeared in the Emerald Capital, some of the things he has experienced and several opportunistic gambling battles have already pushed him to the opposite side of all the Emerald Aristocrats.
Especially the fall of the Wolf family, which made many jade nobles hate Dean to the bone.
Aside from the Kuster family, Dean is almost in the Emerald Capital, and doesn't even have a single ally.
And now, that cunning Erman. Kuster said that he was sick at home, and did not even attend such an important meeting, so that almost all the nobles present were Dean's enemies.
"What's more, what about being an enemy of them? A group of villains who are just lustful and inward-looking! ”
Looking at the Marquis of York, who did not speak again, Dean deliberately paused, and then looked at the nobles in front of him word by word and said.
"Bastard!"
"Damn it!"
……
Dean's successive insults finally made a few grumpy guys in the aristocracy in front of him unbearable, and they rushed towards Dean and wanted to fight Dean.
Not yet close to Dean, though.
A layer of frost visible to the naked eye covered their bodies from the ground.
The next moment, several ice sculptures appeared in the hall.
"Zelganqing, what are you doing?"
Seeing the appearance of several ice sculptures, the young king could no longer stay out of the situation, and he immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty, it's they who want to attack me! I'm just fighting back...... Moreover, I didn't fight back with all my strength, just a little strength! Otherwise, none of you present will survive except the Marquis of York and His Royal Highness! ”
Dean looked at the young king and said lightly.
As these words came out, the surrounding nobles, who were still indignant and excited, retreated one after another, until they retreated to the edge of the hall, leaving only the ice sculptures in place.
"Are you threatening me?"
The young king glared at Dean.
"Of course not, I just suffered a refutation after clarifying my opinion, and then, some guys couldn't convince me between words, and could only show their bravery, but they were frozen into ice sculptures by my counterattack - this is probably how the whole thing happened, Your Majesty, you should be able to see it clearly!"
Dean didn't answer positively, but asked rhetorically.
"You—You're reversing black and white!"
The young king raised his hand and pointed at Dean and scolded.
"Just learn from you!"
Dean replied nonchalantly.
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he stood up, walked up to the Jade Grand Duke, bent down, and stretched out his arm: "Your Highness, the instructor has something important to report to you!" ”
The Emerald Grand Duke didn't speak, just nodded, raised his hand, and put it on Dean's arm, letting Dean lead him out.
And as Dean and the Emerald Grand Duke were about to leave the hall, an angry roar came—
"Do you think I can't do anything without you?"
The young king, roared like this.
"Yes! Absolutely! There are a lot of people who are willing to 'help' you at this time, but definitely not us! ”
Dean paused slightly, and then walked away without looking back.
PS First Update~
Yesterday, I just wanted to eat mapo tofu, but after eating, I felt that something was missing, so I added a kung pao chicken and back to the pot meat, and then, I ate two more bowls of rice, and I ended up eating!
When I got home, I couldn't sleep, so I could only walk at home, and then, the more I walked, the more energetic I became, and I accidentally stayed up late, and then, this chapter was updated late!
