These are two very nice and beautiful boxes.
The middle-aged man could already see at a glance that the material of the box was immortal wood, which was the most common wood in the elven world, with very peculiar sturdy properties and the ability to resist moisture and insects, and had been widely pursued by some nobles in the Anthropocene world. As the saying goes, there is buying and selling, and the price of immortal wood in the Anthropocene world has always been very high, and because of the sturdy properties of this wood, immortal wood usually cannot be used in large buildings, and it takes almost four or five years to make a dressing cabinet, so the use of immortal wood as a material is usually some small objects.
However, because it is exquisite, it sells for a higher price.
Merchants were profit-seeking, so these two fine boxes, regardless of the decoration on them, could have sold for at least 2,000 gold coins for their fine workmanship, size, and material. If the amount is large, this is a very good business, but if there are only two boxes, then the value will undoubtedly be much smaller, after all, he represents the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, how can he look at this little thing.
It's just that if it is used as a kind of gift packaging box, then it is really a bit high-end and high-grade.
"This is my gift to both of you."
Neil whispered as two beautiful boxes lay on the long table in the conference room.
As an elf, no matter how much Neil cares about his image, once he is carefully dressed up, the elegance that belongs to the elf in his blood will never be erased. So at this moment, hiding the indifference and arrogance on his face, coupled with the softness of his tone and the elegance of his behavior, Neil at this moment gave the two diplomatic envoys from the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance a completely different feeling.
It was the gore hidden under the grace, and it gave the two of them a more intimidating feeling than the cold and arrogant he had just haught.
The middle-aged man with glasses and the middle-aged man with a mustache glanced at each other, and then stepped forward at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
When the box opens a gap. The white mist rushed out as if the water on the embankment had finally found an outlet. But perhaps because it weighs less than air, the white mist pours out and does not go higher, but begins to sink along the edge of the box, and soon comes into close contact with the left hand that holds the edge of the box in order to hold it in place.
Cold.
This was the first feeling of the middle-aged man with glasses, and he reacted after a slight surprise in his heart: there must be an ice magic array engraved in the box.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at his companion, only to see that his companion also turned to look at him, and then his gaze slid towards the box in the other person's hand, and he saw the same white mist pouring out of the box. Obviously, both of them should have the same thing in their boxes. But the middle-aged man couldn't figure out what kind of gift needed to be kept warm with the magic power emitted by the ice magic array.
Still, his professional habits soon began to take effect.
This box is worth about two thousand gold coins, and the decoration on the box looks like it also needs about a thousand gold coins, and the ice magic array is engraved on the inside, which is two or three thousand gold coins, to say the least. If you count the crystal nuclei that the magic array needs to consume......
There was already a hint of excitement in the middle-aged man's eyes, and this box was at least the cost of six thousand gold coins. According to the unspoken rule of the so-called "gift-giving" among merchants. Normally. The value of the gift must be more than three times that of the vessel in which it was placed. As soon as he thought of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but increase the range of his right hand, and he couldn't wait to know what the truth about the gift in the box was.
Obviously, his companions thought the same way.
So the boxes were completely opened almost at the same time, and a large amount of white mist kept pouring out - it was clear that the magic arrays in the two boxes had been active for some time. So there was a lot of fog inside, so much so that it obscured the view of the two. But no amount of fog, without any sealing, will quickly disperse. Not to mention that at this moment, the two middle-aged men were still fanning with their hands to speed up the expulsion of the mist.
Soon, the secret hidden in the box was completely exposed under the noses of the two.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of horror appeared on his face. His companion, the middle-aged man with a mustache, let out a soprano scream, and his voice was full of fear.
"Two, are you happy with my gift?" Seeing the reaction of these two people, Neil smiled slightly and said softly.
"Are you declaring war on our Chamber of Commerce Alliance!?" The middle-aged man wearing glasses, the anger on his face had obviously reached the extreme, and his entire face was completely distorted.
Contained in two boxes, there are two human heads!
These two heads are very unfortunate, and the middle-aged man knows them.
The one in his own box was Valky, the regional leader of the Great Rift Valley, a true powerhouse who had already stepped into the Middle Rank Sacred Domain with half a foot!
And the head in the other box, with whom he had discussed the matter yesterday, was to advocate some deterrent means to coerce Neil, and even assassinate Neil if necessary, so as to make the negotiations smoother. But in any case, he didn't expect that this companion, who had been drinking and chatting together for less than twenty-four hours last night, would actually die like this!
This is a true Median Sanctuary!
But a middle-aged man is not a fool, how can he be a vain person who can become a diplomat of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, responsible for various diplomatic negotiations and other affairs? Even with a quick glance, the middle-aged man could already see that the two former companions had a very distinct feature: the fear on their faces was almost identical, which meant that the worst scene they had ever seen before they died was enough to make them feel terrified.
However, what kind of thing is it that makes even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary who are as hard as iron feel fear!?
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door again.
The two birds from the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance were like frightened birds, both of them were extremely frightened, and they were obviously frightened.
Soon, the look of horror on their faces turned to horror and horror rather than a sense of relief.
Because at this moment it is in the hands of the person who pushes the door in. Holding a box that was identical to the two boxes on the table that cost no less than six thousand gold coins.
The box, which was gently lowered by a young man in a black tuxedo.
"Mr. Bes, I don't think our friend has the courage to open the box, could you please do it for you?" Neil said softly, but the smile on his face was thicker, but it felt more threatening.
Beth gave Neil a cold look, but gently opened the box.
The same white mist rushed out, but this time the white mist was not so thick, but the moment it was opened, the mist inside dispersed. The inner scene was revealed.
This time, although the middle-aged man with glasses and the middle-aged man with a mustache still had a frightened look on his face, he was not as frightened as before, but no matter how he looked at it, he obviously had a feeling of being scared and numb.
Something that is in the box. It's a human head again!
And this head, the two are also very familiar.
This person. It was another Lower Sanctuary powerhouse who was acting at about the same time as Valky. It's just that Valki is responsible for coming to the Void City to lurk and wreak havoc. By the way, he collected intelligence, and this person was responsible for intercepting Neil on the road.
It was going very well.
At least, in the eyes of the people of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, it should be smooth. But when the two negotiating diplomats arrived in Void City and found that Valki hadn't contacted them, they felt a little strange. It's just that they all know that Valki doesn't really belong to the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but belongs to an expatriate from a family that has a close interest in the Chamber of Commerce, so they don't care too much about it.
What really made them care was the next Sanctuary powerhouse in front of them, who was responsible for intercepting and killing Neil.
They had also investigated the heavy cavalry unit of the Black Wings beforehand. It was found that this force was only a newly formed force, and its combat effectiveness was not top-notch - they learned from the Dabion Kingdom that there was an elite force in Void City that was enough to threaten the lower golden powerhouse, so for the sake of insurance, they let this powerhouse of the lower holy realm take action.
And the progress of things, although it does not seem to be smooth, should at least be said to be successful.
Because the army with dark wings was almost completely wiped out, which was tantamount to weakening the military strength of the lord Sean, and it was also a good thing for the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Because in their opinion, more than half of the reason why Neil and the others were able to escape was luck - according to the Sanctuary powerhouse who was in charge of interception, Neil and the heavy cavalry unit acted separately, and he missed the opportunity to intercept and kill Neil in order to intercept and kill this heavy cavalry force.
Of course, Neil doesn't know about the Dao, and if he does, then it is not the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance that sighs about the good luck, but Neil.
Originally, everyone thought that Neil would at least be frightened and would definitely give way in the negotiations that followed.
Because there is a saying that "what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table." However, for the strong, "battlefield" can be replaced by "force", which is why the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance is full of confidence.
It's just that no one thought that Neil would be so strong after returning, so strong that he was not afraid of tearing his face with the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance. As a last resort, they could only urgently contact this Sanctuary powerhouse who had not succeeded in intercepting Neil, and ask him to rush to the Void City as soon as possible, and cooperate with them to launch the second set of implementation plans - if they could rely on deterrence to make breakthroughs, it would be better and not enough, after all, they didn't want to offend Asuna.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, then the only way to do it is to carry out an assassination operation.
But they didn't expect that these two Sacred Domain powerhouses would actually fall here one after the other!
Looking at the same frightened human head in the third box, the blood from the neck hadn't even dried up, and it was clear that he had just been killed.
The middle-aged man felt a burst of cold hands and feet: "What do you mean by this!?" ”
"Courtesy is still exchanged." Neil chuckled, "On my way back, your Chamber of Commerce Alliance gave us such a big gift, and we, the subordinates, in order to prevent the lord from being accused of poor etiquette, of course, also prepared a gift as a tribute. ”
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said hello three times in a row, and then he didn't say anything more, but turned to leave. What he was thinking about now was how to leave Void City safely, because from the words that Neil had just revealed, he clearly heard a subtext: Since you are not particular, then don't want me to be particular. Obviously, if he guessed correctly, then they would definitely be assassinated next, after all, they had already done this to Neil first.
Of course, if you leave here so soon, then you will really fall into Neil's trap - the middle-aged man with glasses has begun to gradually calm down. Although Void City looks extremely dangerous now, it is actually a truly safe place, because if all of them die here, then Void City is the most suspicious, after all, they have already invaded the Great Rift Valley of the Wild Lands.
Therefore, he must stay here in Void City until the Chamber of Commerce Alliance reacts anew, and he will not leave until someone is sent over. But now, he had more important things to report to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and he had already discovered that Void City was by no means a simple place, and it was definitely not a coincidence that two lower Sacred Domain powerhouses and one middle Sacred Domain powerhouse had fallen here. The middle-aged man even wondered if the entire Void City was built with a large special magic array arrangement, otherwise how could it have such great lethality? Moreover, it is no coincidence that the three Sacred Domain powerhouses all fell in the Void City, not outside the Void City!
In the conference room, when all these people from the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance had left, William walked in through the side door on the other side.
He glanced at the three square boxes, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Guess what they will do next?" ”
"It must be that Lai is refusing to leave the embassy." Neil said calmly, "Because only in this way will they be safe, after all, if we kill them in the city, we must be the first suspect, and then the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance will have a real reason to go to war with us." …… But it's good that we created the illusion of a coincidence for them. ”
"That's why I told you not to kill that idiot." William said calmly, "Your strength, my concessions, and the fact that we put out such a big bait, the other party will definitely not be able to help but take the bait." …… At least for now, they don't know our real hole cards. ”
Bess glanced at the two of them and sneered, "You guys are much more daring than Sean." At most, he just thought about how to borrow my power, and you directly used me as a sword. ”
"If our territory is breached, your interests will also be compromised, and we are all in the same boat now, and there is no such thing as a sword." Neil said calmly, "The blood of the three Sacred Domain powerhouses is not enough to sacrifice the sacrifice of the three hundred Heroic Souls. Speaking of this, Neil's eyes showed anger again, looked at Bes, and asked, "So about the next thing......
"Thanks to Sean, that paramecium." Beth said lightly, "He's learned to requiem." …… I didn't expect him to learn to requiem so quickly. ”
"What do you mean?" William and Neil were at a loss.
"The second coffin has been opened."
Hearing what the bass said, the two of them were shocked to realize that the coffin, which had always been inseparable from the bass, did not appear today! (To be continued......)
PS: Say a good news and a bad news. …… The good news is that everyone's recommendation votes are very powerful, and another chapter will be added soon! The bad news is that I still haven't adjusted my status today, so there are only three chapters, and I will try my best to ensure 10,000 word updates, and this chapter is 4K+. Finally, another sad story will be inserted: my editor is on vacation, and it seems that my recommendation is not arranged, so I will be naked again next week.
