"You have broken your promise."

In the dimly lit room, a slightly angry voice sounded.

This is a relatively clean room, and it is not difficult to see from the layout that the former layout of this room was a study. Although many things in the study have been removed, some of the original layout of the study has not changed - such as rows of bookcases against the wall, comfortable soft sofas, and so on.

At this time, there was only one oil lamp lit in the room, which was the most ordinary oil lamp, not a magic lamp, and it was already night, so the light in the room was not sufficient.

There was a figure sitting on a soft couch, a glass of steaming milk on a low table in front of him.

This angry voice just now was made by this man.

He said this to the other two slightly dim phantoms on the soft sofa.

These two phantoms are not entities, but projections formed by a unique sound magic, which are indistinguishable from real people except that they are inaccessible, and can communicate perfectly in real time. This is a new product developed by the guys at the Haltham Research Institute using the teleportation magic array and magic guide technology, this product is still in the testing stage, but once it is officially put into use, it is conceivable that the impact will definitely not be weaker than the teleportation magic array.

"I don't think we've broken our promise." The phantom on the left spoke in a deep voice, "According to the content of the agreement, what we want to solve is all the unfavorable actions against you personally. Moreover, on the premise of solving the invasion of corpses, we Deaththorn will not pull your hind legs. ”

At the beginning of the Forest of Sighs, Sean and the Immortal Monument signed a soul agreement: before this invasion of the bone plane is fully resolved. Deaththorn is not allowed to pull the Void Principality behind his back, and must also help Sean solve all the troubles that are not in Sean's favor.

Taken literally. It's the Deaththorn that won't make a move against the Void Principality, and won't trouble Sean. But nothing else.

But having said that, the people who signed the contract at the time were very clear about what it meant. But now, Deaththorn does not act according to the unspoken rules, but only fulfills the agreement in the literal sense, which is a typical game of words.

"I've never seen anyone so brazen."

In the room, the one who made angry and dissatisfied voices was naturally Sean.

He was driven back to the Savage Fortress and assisted in the defeat of the Black Dead and the Great and Minor Rucas. He summoned William as soon as possible, and learned everything that had happened during his absence. These things made him clearly understand that the Void Empire's plan had obviously been leaked out, so there must be many people who didn't want to see the Void Principality dominant.

The figure on the left obviously didn't care about Sean's taunt, and he still said to himself: "There are three assassination plans and actions related to you, and we have helped you solve them." Moreover, the Deaththorn agents who were previously distributed in the Void Principality have all been completely evacuated, which is completely in accordance with the rules of the contract agreement. I don't know what else your excellency has to complain about. ”

"Huh." Sean let out a chuckle. But he didn't continue to speak, but turned his head to look at the phantom on the right, "Do you have the same attitude?" ”

The phantom sitting on the right is naturally the liaison from the Peace Association.

It was a tall woman. With wavy long hair draped over his shoulders and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he exudes an intellectual, mature and elegant temperament. Since her appearance. She kept smiling and didn't speak, basically listening. Judging by her various performances. Sean knew that the person in front of him must be a role like an arbitrator, which was exactly the opposite of Christina's previous status as an executive.

"Lord Sean. According to the agreement that Master Christina reported to the above, the content of our peace council's contract seems to be the same as that of Deaththorn. The mature and elegant woman smiled and spoke, her voice soft and subtly seductive, making it easy to listen to her words, and then unconsciously took her side, "In this matter, we think that Lord Sean, you have gone too far, slaughtering so many tribes in the Savage Lands, if it were not for the agreement, we would have sent the Enforcer and the Messenger of Peace." ”

"No wonder your Peace Council and Deaththorn have always been rivals, and both of you can compete for the first place in the world with this shameless kung fu." Sean sneered, "Since you all said so, then I don't think there's really anything to talk about with you." ”

"Lord Sean, don't you think your request is a bit greedy?" The agent from Deaththorn on the left spoke.

"I'm curious, how greedy am I?" Sean laughed angrily.

"I guess Deaththorn means Lord Sean, your attempt to annex the Savage Lands." The arbitrator on the right intervened, "The Wild Land has its own game, and our Peace Council has not been too involved in it, because this is a matter of rules, and the existence of this place can ensure the stability and prosperity of many countries. Although the slave trade seemed too cruel, the foundations of the Savage Lands were not lost, but this time...... In a fit of rage, Lord Shaun, you slaughtered more than thirty tribes of the Savage Lands......"

At this point, the arbitrator was still smiling, and although she did not finish her words, the hidden meaning was also clear.

To put it simply, the Peace Council is reluctant to see Sean set up the Void Empire. Of course, in the absence of sufficient practical proof, the Peace Council will certainly not blindly point out Sean's attempt to establish an empire, after all, once some words are said to be clear, then it will be a real and complete reversal. But now, the Peace Council can't turn against Sean, because they are afraid that Sean will simply flip the chessboard and talk about it.

Based on the in-depth investigation of various signs of Sean in the past, they are convinced that Sean is not a person who follows the rules, and he will only borrow those rules that are beneficial to him. When the rules are against him or useless, he most often uses to simply flip the board. Then rewrite the rules.

"This is the first time I've seen the Peace Council make excuses for the death thorns." Sean glanced at the two phantoms in front of him. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke again, "Since you're going to play word games with me, then yes, I'll accept your play." ”

As he said this, Sean's face was clean, bright, and cheerful.

But this smile made the two liaison officers from the Deaththorn and Peace Council chuckle inwardly.

"Alright, I still have a lot of things to take care of, so that's the end of today's contact." Sean made it clear what he meant to send off.

"Sir Sean, I think it's better for you to be cautious." The Deaththorn liaison officer said in an unkind tone.

"You're threatening me?" Sean's tone was abruptly grim. His eyes sharpened, staring straight at the Liaison Officer, even though they were not in physical contact with each other, but at this moment the Liaison Officer still had a strong illusion that his life was threatened, as if he would die at any moment.

Seeing Sean and Deaththorn clashing, the liaison officer of the Peace Council next to him had a feeling of brightness.

The hostile relationship between Deaththorn and the Peace Council is something that everyone in the entire Miracle Continent knows. Even if the Peace Council and Deaththorn had to agree on certain matters because of the Forest of Sighs, in essence, the two major forces were still entangled in private. The only pity is. Deaththorn is extremely hidden, even if the Peace Council has an intelligence network all over the Miracle Continent, it is difficult to find out the root and secret base of Deaththorn, which allows Deaththorn, an assassination intelligence organization, to continue to grow and develop. Otherwise, if the Peace Council had gone all out, the thorn of death would have been a thing of the past.

"Hmph." In the face of Sean's strong momentum, the Deaththorn member did not say anything more. After just snorting, he disconnected, and the phantom figure sitting on the chair quickly disappeared completely in front of Sean.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Watch Deaththorn Liaison leave. Sean turned his head to look at the arbitrator of the Peace Council.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us and Lord Sean." The female arbitrator smiled and said, "If you continue to let the misunderstanding deepen." Then that's not what our Peace Council wants, so I think I should stay and clear up these misunderstandings. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with me." Sean said lightly, "From the moment you started playing with words, the covenant agreement between us has existed in name only. …… It's just that the person who signed the contract with me was Christina, and once you really violate the content of the contract, Christina will die, in order not to sacrifice Christina's genius, but I don't want to see me grow stronger, so you do something that does not violate the agreement on the surface. ”

"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Sean."

"The Void Principality, and even the Savage Lands, are full of the most elite intelligence organizations under my command: the Void Realm, with their existence, any conspiracy and turmoil cannot be concealed." Sean looked at the arbitrator, his voice was calm, but the more calm he was, the more uneasy the arbitrator became, "But now, the rebellion of more than thirty tribes in the wilderness, even if the fascist kingdom takes the lead in contacting other countries and nobles to secretly support, they also have a problem that must be solved, that is, how to bypass the Void Realm under my command?" ”

The female arbitrator's eyes narrowed slightly.

"In the entire Miracle Continent, there are no more than five organizations and forces that have the ability and qualifications to bypass the intelligence department under my command." Sean still continued to speak, "The Divine Vision is one of them, but it is not easy to invite this organization, and the cost is extremely high, plus they have secretly started a war with the Chainas Empire, and now they don't have much energy to mess around here in the Southern Continent." ”

"And four more."

"The League of Assassins and the Hermitage are both assassination organizations, but they also work part-time as intelligence gathering and trafficking, but they are not as proficient as the Vision. And the two organizations have one thing in common, or a tacit understanding, that is, where the area marked by the Assassin Alliance, the hermitage will not enter, and vice versa. …… Unfortunately, or fortunately, the Void Principality and the entire Savage Lands are marked areas of the Assassin Alliance, and I happen to have some friendship with the Liaison Officer of the Assassin League in this area. ”

The female arbitrator's eyes became awe-inspiring: "And what about the last two left?" ”

"Your Council of Peace and the Thorns of Death." Sean said lightly, "Just now, Deaththorn has admitted it himself, and they have withdrawn all the intelligence agents from my territory, so the only remaining possibility is your Peace Council." ”

"Maybe it's the people of Deaththorn who are deliberately stirring up."

"Do you believe it?" Sean smiled.

"Of course I did." The female arbitrator spoke.

"Okay, let's forget about it." Sean didn't refute, but nodded, "However, you broke the rules first. ”

Hearing Sean's words, the female arbitrator finally realized that the matter was likely to be more difficult than the results assessed by the Celestial Chamber at the beginning. However, her natural status as an arbitrator of the Peace Council made it impossible for the female arbitrator to be so indifferent, so she could only speak; "Lord Sean, there should be some misunderstanding in this, please believe in our sincerity."

"I also believe that there may have been some misunderstandings." Sean nodded.

Hearing Sean's tone a little soft, the female arbitrator felt a little happy in her heart.

"But."

The female arbitrator's heart jumped suddenly, if there was any word in this world that she didn't want to hear, it would definitely be the word "but". Often, words that represent a very strong twist tend to take things in unpredictable directions.

"Someone has to pay for it." Sean said calmly, "Back then, the fascist kingdom took the lead in trying to assassinate the commander of my principality. Yale, I have always remembered this account, but because there is no evidence, I have not sent troops to seek justice for the time being. But this time, it was still the fascist kingdom that took the lead, and actually wanted to take advantage of the disaster of the invasion of corpses and bones to create civil strife in my rear...... I think you should know what will happen to the Savage Fortress if civil strife does break out at that time, right? ”

The female arbitrator was silent and did not speak, for she did not know how to speak at all.

"Therefore, this time, the fascist kingdom must pay the price." Sean said in a deep voice, "No one can still sit back and relax after provoking my Void Principality. ”

There is another sentence, Sean did not say it, but silently added it in his heart: including any organizational forces! (To be continued.) )
