Chapter 233: The Skill of Throwing Pots at Each Other
It's getting late.
A bright magical glow shines into the spacious and comfortable living room, where the flat, smooth marble floor reflects the reflection above. The mountains outside the window show a bit of green color under the bright moonlight, which is particularly quiet and serene. The cold night breeze blows, and you can even see the top of the canopy in the distance swaying slightly with the direction of the wind, making a pleasant "rustling" sound, which looks extremely beautiful.
And for such a beautiful scenery, the only thing that can be done is naturally to enjoy.
Jenn leaned back on the sofa without grace, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and looked at the letter in his hand with a hint of arc. He read the letter in his hand carefully, and then tossed the letter with the Templar seal on it.
"The Soros family rejected my request."
Jenn's tone was very calm, even a little mocking. Hearing what he said, Enoa, who had been standing quietly and silently, stretched out her hand, picked up the letter, glanced at it, and then shook her head.
"And rightfully so, host. Although it is true that there is a reason for the incident, it is too unbelievable to ask the other party to compensate a city. And it's not a small town, it's a few big cities on the Eagle Plateau. If the Soros family gives up the city to others, then there is no need for them to continue to exist. In any case, we are all outsiders to the forces on the Eagle Plateau, so instead of drawing ridicule from others, Soros's resistance and refusal will make those forces come to us with hatred. After all, compared to an uninvited person who broke into the room. Or people who have already lived here will make them feel more at ease. ”
At this, Enoa paused. Put down the letter in your hand.
"So if we insist on going our own way, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by the aristocratic forces of the entire Eagle Plateau. At that time, neither the Pawood nor the Templar Order would be on our side at the risk of public wrath. It seems that the patriarch of the Soros family is indeed very smart, and he understands the truth very well. ”
"yes, I like smart people, because they like to make simple things complicated."
Hearing Enoa's analysis, Jenn leaned back on the sofa leisurely, crossed his hands, squinted his eyes, and smiled like a little fox.
"The more I think about it. The more you worry, the easier it is to expose your weaknesses. Knowing too much is sometimes a weakness, don't you think? Since the other party thinks he is very smart, and he is still playing these ignorant and stupid little tricks in front of me......... So what should we do next, Enoa? ”
"It's simple, master."
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Enoa also showed a confident and elegant smile.
"The initiative has always been in our hands, since that being the case. What we need to do is to continue to grasp the direction of the negotiations. Since Soros has refused so strongly, then we just need to give them another demand. ”
What are the requirements...............
"Let the members of the Soros family come forward in person and apologize to the Pashanomens?"
Old Bishop Howard's eyes widened in surprise. looked at Enoa, who was standing quietly in front of him, dressed in a gorgeous dress, like a daughter. Let's be honest. After receiving the reply from Soros that "it's a big deal, everyone dies together", Howard is really worried that Jenn will attack the Soros family regardless of it. If that were the case, then the Templar's position would be awkward. But now it looks. That doesn't seem to be the case at all?
"You mean to say that you are willing to give up your previous request?"
"Of course, Lord Howard."
Enoa's voice was as soft and peaceful as ever, and just listening to it made people feel good. In fact, he couldn't have imagined that the girl standing in front of him at this moment, no matter how he looked at it, would be an undead creature--then Enoia, an undead creature, would dare to come to church, which in itself is already an unbelievable thing.
"The previous proposal was just a little joke from the owner, and even though we said it, we knew very well that it was just a whimsical idea. So even if the Soros family rejects our offer, it's a matter of course, and my master and I can understand this. ”
Saying this, Enoa smiled apologetically at Bishop Howard, which also relaxed the old bishop's originally nervous mood a lot. But he also knew that with Jenn's temperament, I was afraid that things would not end so easily. Bishop Howard is also an old man, and of course he knows that if Jenn shuts up after being rejected by Soros, then the Pachanon family will have a hard time on the Eagle Plateau in the future. If they can't do something to show their power and existence.........
"But ..............."
Sure enough, just as Howard thought of this, his ears immediately received the expected word.
"The Pashanomens are also a great family with an ancient heritage, and we must respond to any insults and attacks on family members. Since the Soros family has rejected the previous offer, then we demand that the Soros family must apologize to us! ”
At the end of the sentence, Enoya's originally soft voice suddenly became firm.
"If they dare to ignore the glory of the Pashanomens, and try to humiliate us once again, then we will wage an undying war against the Soros in the name of our ancestors! A disgraced reputation must be washed away with blood! If the Soros family continues to ignore our demands, then we would rather this plateau be full of blood and corpses, even if we are enemies of everyone, we will never back down and waver! ”
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Old Bishop Howard was taken aback, until this time, he had thoroughly understood what the other party meant.
This is forcing the Soros family to play their cards!
At first, the Soros family forcefully rejected Jenn's request, and Howard also thought that the Soros family's approach was clever. And he was really worried that Jenn would choose war regardless of it, and at that time, even if he was a decorated noble, the Templars would not be able to protect him. Many people are also quite disgusted by what Jenn has done, believing that it was a mistake for the Templar Order to award Jenn the title of knighthood in the first place, because what this young man did was too unorthodox and could easily get the Templar into trouble. So if Jenn did decide to do it, the Templar would obviously not support him.
But now, Jenn has made a rather clever response, he has thrown this pot directly back to the Soros family!
Although Alexander's incident was in a big uproar on the Eagle Plateau, whether it was the nobles, the Templars, or anyone else, there was a consensus on one point, that is, Alexander had gone too far this time. Sending troops and warships to besiege a legitimate nobleman, if it is in the deep mountains and old forests, it is fine, but you are still in Warfour, or you are doing it in full view.
No matter what world you are in, there are some "unspoken rules", and the nobles are no exception, you can hire assassins to assassinate your enemies, you can disguise yourself as bandits to attack their convoys, and you can even use the law to make the other party deflated. But it's all private, invisible, and no one wants to admit it.
But what Alexander did was almost equivalent to putting the nobles' original honey-bellied swords and assassination poison directly on the table! And it's naked, undisguised and undisguised. This made those nobles feel extremely angry at once, in fact, although they all supported the Soros family, they really had nothing to say about Alexander, a pig teammate. Even the Templar Order's investigation concluded that Alexander was the culprit of the whole thing, and there was no doubt about it.
It's just that Jenn's request is so unacceptable that it will trigger a backlash from other nobles. After all, you said that if you provoke you once, you will have to cede the land and pay compensation, and no one can accept this. Today is the Soros family, will it be the turn of another family every day? Once this kind of thing sets a precedent, then is it worth it?
But now, Jenn has skillfully solved this contradiction, and he has thrown the problem back to the Soros family, since they have made a mistake, then they must apologize. And what kind of sincerity the Soros family can give is the crux of the matter. And this is a very delicate issue, if the Soros family gives too much "sincerity", then it will be seen as afraid of Jenn. But if the Soros family downplays this, then when Jenn breaks out again in the next thunderous rage, the other nobles will not be able to say anything. After all, he has been humiliated again and again, and no nobleman can bear this breath.
Because of this, Bishop Howard's face suddenly changed slightly after hearing Enoya's request, and he knew very well that Jenn was now putting all the blame on the Soros family again, and next, it was up to Soros to choose whether to fight or to make peace.
And in the face of Jenn's problem, what kind of answer will the Soros family make? (To be continued......)
