53. The lion opens his mouth
Only three of the envoys came.
But the lineup is unsettlingly tough.
The two powerhouses of the Golden Realm served as bodyguards, and whether it was the lower gold or the upper gold, Sean and the others couldn't tell. But whether it is lower or higher, as long as these two people exert their power, it is enough to overturn the entire military camp and even forcibly kill Sean and others.
This is clearly a deterrent.
Seeing the three envoys from the Boulder family looking arrogant, Sean didn't bother to speak, sitting in the middle of the main tent, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, anyway, he was wandering into the world. Standing on both sides of Sean are Neil and William, but these two people see that Sean doesn't speak, of course they won't say anything, although they usually complain about Sean, but under the premise of this kind of big thing, they still give Sean a lot of face.
Other than that, Cecilia and Alfred were the only ones in the tent.
The former is because of the bloodline awakening event, while the latter has long been known throughout the Dabiang Kingdom, so it is not easy to hide, so it is simply put on the table. As for the army left behind by Rena and Vivian, of course they will not show up in the barracks, and judging from Boulder's incomplete information about Sean, they don't know the cards Sean is holding at the moment.
Even if Lonnis returned, the most that would be for Boulder to know about the existence of William and Rena, and how the guard they sent to him died, would not know anything else. And Rude, the only one who knows the whole situation, is not to leave, otherwise Sean will not let him see the whole situation in the barracks.
After confronting each other for a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black dress unique to the nobility finally couldn't hold his breath and snorted coldly: "This is the hospitality of His Excellency the Lord?" ”
This middle-aged man does not have any strength, and he is no different from ordinary people. But it seems that he is faintly the leader of the three, and Sean guesses that it should be the diplomatic envoy who is in charge of negotiating with him this time. But looking at the attitude of his mouth at the moment, he did not look like a defeated at all, but faintly had a kind of superiority, which made Sean feel a little curious, because in his impression, the old Duke Hatch was not like the kind of person who would do some boring and stupid things, so no matter how much he looked down on himself, he would definitely let this matter get a happy result, so this messenger must also have some real skills.
"Hospitality?" Sean looked the messenger up and down. In a calm tone, he said, "You look more like the master of this place than I do." ”
The middle-aged man not only did not have any embarrassment and embarrassment, but was proud and complacent, as if he felt that Sean's words were his appreciation. This made Cecilia and the others look a little ugly, and the current situation seemed to be very different from the negotiation situation they had expected before. At least this situation certainly did not appear in their plans.
"Duke Hatch hopes that Your Excellency will release Baron Kiraf as soon as possible. Lord Holder. The middle-aged man had a natural expression.
"Huh. Say you look like the host. Do you really think you're the master here? The corners of Sean's mouth raised slightly, and his face mocked, "Then do you want me to give this barracks to you?" …… Or rather, let's talk in a different position? ”
This time, the look on the middle-aged man's face was finally no longer that proud and complacent, but an embarrassment similar to being humiliated.
In fact, as long as it is anyone who has no problem with IQ. When Sean said the first sentence, he would realize that the problem was wrong, but these people didn't know which world the Dao came from, and they would actually think that Sean was praising them.
"If you want to redeem people, then come up with something useful." Sean pursed his lips. "You want me to release people with empty words? You must be thinking too well. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this to be the case, this was completely different from what they expected.
"You will receive the friendship ...... Duke Hatch"
"Well, if you send me something I need, you'll gain my friendship." Sean yawned, looking indifferent, "You see, I said this sentence myself, and the sincerity is much greater than yours, right?" ”
The middle-aged man and the two gold-level guards looked at each other.
"Although Your Excellency is also a lord, doesn't it seem too arrogant for Your Excellency to compare yourself to Duke Hatch?" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Duke Hatch is the high-ranking nobleman of the Dabiang Kingdom, a duke known as a powerful duke. ”
"What did he just say?"
"Duke of the Kingdom of Dabion." William pretended to think about it very seriously, "But what does this have to do with our Duchy of Lane?" ”
"Presumptuous!" A golden powerhouse couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, "Are you trying to provoke a war? ”
"Provoke a war?" Sean was slightly stunned, and then looked at the gold-level powerhouse with a smile, "Are you sure you want to provoke a war?" ”
The middle-aged man was suddenly startled in his heart.
As someone who can be sent out to carry out negotiation tasks, middle-aged men must also have some talent. Although in the policy of the Boulder family, what really needs to be paid attention to is Asuna, that is, Simi and Vivien, who currently occupy the Mordeg territory, Sean's side is just an attitude, so there will only be three people sent to Sean's side, and the two gold-level powerhouses are just used as a deterrent by force.
Before that, no one paid any attention to Sean, the so-called lord.
But as someone who was able to participate in the planning of this negotiation, it is natural that he understands the whole process. So seeing Sean's smiling expression, the middle-aged man immediately remembered that it was the war initiated by the lord in front of him that led to the current situation, so if it was to provoke a war...... The middle-aged man didn't dare to think further, he knew very well what the reason why Duke Hatch asked them to negotiate, even if the two countries really broke out into war again, the Boulder family could not be the initiator of this war, or the fuse.
"Lord Sean, please forgive us for our gaffes." The middle-aged man quickly realized that the focus of the negotiations was not on Simi and Vivien at all, but on the lord in front of him, who had been ignored by everyone. "The Duke is the one who gives us everything, so we respect the Duke very much, which is why we have a gaffe. I'm sure you can understand our feelings, Lord Sean. ”
"Duke Hatch is really valuable for raising your dogs." Sean smiled.
The golden powerhouse on the left had an angry look on his face, and the killing intent completely burst out from his body, and the furious killing intent completely crushed the entire tent in an instant. Countless rags and strips of cloth, accompanied by tables and chairs that were shocked by the momentum and all kinds of messy things, emitted an amazing sound, and almost the entire military camp was completely shocked at this moment.
"Want to do it with me here?" Sean looked at the strong man fearlessly, and the mockery on his face became even stronger.
"Just a knight. Not even a nobleman, he dared to be so presumptuous. The golden powerhouse's face was full of anger, and the killing intent was almost condensed as substance, "Even if he kills you, will Marquis Tonis still start a war because of you?" ”
"You can try." Sean shrugged. "I promise, you killed me. There is absolutely no way to leave Pandaling alive. And I can guarantee it. War will break out immediately, and your family will soon be reunited with you again. ”
The golden powerhouse stared, as if he could no longer tolerate this humiliation, and was about to kill Sean.
But at this time, the middle-aged man took a step to the left and stood in front of this golden powerhouse. smiled: "Misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding." The Duke has absolutely no intention of provoking a war, and he will definitely not offend you, and please ask Sean-sama that you have a lot of them. Don't be like me. ”
This middle-aged man is indeed very artistic in speaking, bowing his head vigorously, but the meaning of his words is also very clear, that is, he can't control the two golden powerhouses, if something really happens at that time, then no one wants to see it. That's why he specifically reminded Sean in language that he could only represent the interests of him and the Duke, but the dignity of the strong was definitely not easy to offend.
Looking at this middle-aged man, Sean finally knew what Duke Hatch was that old guy would send this person to be in charge of all matters in this negotiation, this guy is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. Not only did he save face for Duke Hatch, but he also minimized the smell of gunpowder in the field, and he also maintained the dignity of the golden powerhouse, such a talent is indeed very suitable for negotiations.
"Originally, if you were sincere enough, I would be very good at talking, but now that you want to put on this attitude, then I can only talk to you with a different attitude." Sean shrugged his shoulders, "When I bought the Black Steel, I paid a deposit of 50,000 Ryan gold coins, but I didn't receive the goods after the deposit was paid, this responsibility should be yours, right?" ”
"This is natural." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Okay then, I'll suffer a loss, you just have to pay me back 500,000 Ryan gold coins."
"That's easy to say...... What the? Half a million? ”
"Yes, I didn't sell the black steel stone that the Fascist Kingdom said that he would pay ten times to buy my black steel stone, and I think it would cost fifteen times, but your attitude is so good, I said ten times is already very face-saving for you. How? Aren't you happy? ”
"No, no, no, this thing...... It's a bit beyond my purview, and I need to consult with the Duke. ”
"Oh, that's fine, you can go and discuss."
"Then Lord Lonnis......"
"The 500,000 is just compensation for your credibility. Only when you have made up this compensation will I be able to trust your sincerity, so that I can talk to you about the prisoners of war with peace of mind. ”
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in disbelief.
The 500,000 Lane Gold Coins, such a lion's big mouth, is actually not the main meal, but just an appetizer?
There is no such absurd thing in this world!
But now, this such a ridiculous thing happened to him, and the middle-aged man's mood at the moment is really very complicated. (To be continued.) )
