42. I am a man of good talk

As a special envoy who can be sent out by the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, in addition to being able to speak well, be witty and tactful, the most important thing is to have a considerable thickness of cheek.

But even the envoy to Lane, after seeing Sean's behavior, he deeply felt the gap between them. At this moment, he finally knew how much the big shots of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance were eager to slap Sean to death, because if it were him, he would also be able to slap Sean to death.

In the decades since he began to serve the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he has also experienced many winds and rains, but he has never seen a person like Sean, who swallows the gift without changing his face and orders the eviction. In terms of normal social etiquette, if the main party does not want to have any negotiation from the beginning, then it will never accept any overtake from the other party.

But Sean simply ignored this unspoken rule, he not only accepted the gift from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but also ordered the eviction of customers without paying attention to the rules.

It's a bandit-like act.

If it were an ordinary person, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would definitely let such a person spit out more than ten times the compensation as a price.

But in the face of Sean. Connery, the envoy who had come from the trading capital, was not at all strong. What he has in his heart at the moment is a deep helplessness and sorrow - the pain of being able to achieve such a negotiation goal. In the same way, he suddenly understood what he was doing, and when he asked the Chamber of Commerce Alliance if there was any bottom line on the other side, the answer given by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance would shock him so much.

"You can do it."

Just four words. At that time, the envoy felt that his opportunity had come, and it was entirely possible to take another step up in his career.

But now, in the eyes of the envoy. That's the end of your career.

Of course, if he can succeed in convincing Sean at a very small cost, then it is still possible for him to go further. But seeing Sean accept the blue crystal without hesitation, and then look as if he hadn't received any gifts at all, the envoy knew that Sean was definitely a difficult character to deal with - it was absolutely impossible to take Sean at a small price.

Because, the initiative is no longer on his side at all.

If you can. He really wanted to slap Sean to death. But not to mention whether he has the strength to kill a duke in a kingdom, even if the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is in full swing now. Don't dare to do such a thing, at least without any justification, it would be tantamount to provoking the ancient laws of nobility. Therefore, even if Sean completely ransacked the underground location of the entire Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Gray Shadow Black Market, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance could only force them to hand over Sean by exerting pressure on the Principality of Lane. Only then can they make a move on Sean.

In any circle. There will be different rules that bind you.

And any transgression will incur punishment from the nobility.

In today's world, there is only one person who can live well after not caring about the constraints of any rules and constantly breaking the default unspoken rules of various circles.

This person is the current Ryan nobleman.

Duke of the Void, Sean. Connelly.

"Let me introduce myself first." Seeing Sean waving his hand as if he was waving away a fly, the envoy could only force a standard smile after all.

However, he did not wait for the envoy to finish speaking. Sean spoke again impatiently: "Who you are and what does it have to do with me?" I really don't have much to say to you Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Don't think I don't know what you wanted to do to me in the first place, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of war. Do you think I can still sit here now? ”

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here." The envoy felt that his facial muscles seemed to stiffen a little, "Although I don't know why this kind of misunderstanding is caused, I think there are some things that should be communicated by both sides, so that even if there is any misunderstanding, it can be properly resolved, so as to avoid causing the misunderstanding to deepen, which will affect our relationship with each other." ”

In fact, even the envoy could not believe what he was saying now. Because it was he who constantly put pressure on Ryan at the beginning, and at that time, he was naturally acting on the orders of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the attitude of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance at that time was simply eager to remove Sean immediately, so in terms of his attitude towards Ryan's royal family, he was naturally extremely tough and high-profile.

It's just that he never imagined that one day he would be reduced to the level of wanting to whisper to please others, and he had even forgotten how many years he hadn't done it.

However, the current situation forced him to do so.

In the face of this envoy's low voice, others may feel quite superior and cool, but for Sean, this kind of meaningless thing does him no good at all.

He is a typical example of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, how can such a piece of blue crystal satisfy Sean's appetite?

You know, what wind and waves has Sean not seen? He is not even afraid of a war with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and he is afraid of a small foreign envoy at this moment?

"What do I have to do with you?" Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, "Don't talk about how familiar we seem to be." ”

"When doing business, we always pay attention to being born and cooked twice." The envoy was also cheeky, and didn't mind Sean's cynicism at all, and still kept a smile and said, "Lord Sean, if you have any grievances about our previous misunderstanding, you can say it......"

"Now, you told me to say it." Sean once again didn't wait for the envoy to finish speaking, and directly interrupted the other party's words, and the speed of the reaction made the envoy want to slap himself hard, "The gem you just gave me is actually quite beautiful......"

The envoy rolled his eyes: "Isn't this nonsense!"

The blue crystal is an elemental crystal with the same name as the crimson flame, the emerald stone, and the steel of the black rock. In the hands of some nobles, these gems may be high-grade gems worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But in the hands of magicians and the like, there are powerful magical materials that can be worth millions of gold coins, which is why these gems are valuable treasures in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

The envoy didn't dare to report to the trade capital that he had given Sean a piece of azure crystal, and he simply replaced it with the words "sapphire of the highest purity". After all, this level of sapphire is used as a meeting gift for people of Sean's level today, and it will not be too rude or too expensive, at least it will not leave a bad impression on the side of the trade capital.

And the reason why this envoy would send such a piece of blue crystal is actually the idea of saving the country by playing a curve. Because according to the information he gathered, Sean valued Cecilia's sister, and this sister was a true mage who specialized in fire - if it weren't for the fact that the envoy couldn't get a piece of Crimson Flame, he wouldn't have brought a piece of Azure Crystal.

In his opinion anyway. As long as Cecilia is done, then Sean will definitely be done.

Although this idea was indeed true, but after he heard Sean's next words. He no longer wanted to slap Sean to death, but wanted to slap himself to death.

Because Sean's next words were: "...... But with only one piece, it's still quite monotonous. Although I don't know much about gemstones and other things, I do know that such gemstones must come in many colors. Like green, yellow, red, or something. If you give me a few more of these gems, but of different colors, then I may forget that there was any misunderstanding between us. ”

With emphasis on green, yellow, red, and "such but different colored gems," the envoy would not be qualified to sit in the position he is in if he did not know what Shaun meant.

If he could, he really wanted to slap Sean, and then scolded fiercely: Do you think that high-purity elemental crystals such as Crimson Flame, Emerald Stone, and Black Rock Steel are the cabbage in the vegetable market? Do you want to have it? Even the blue crystal in his hand was collected and concealed by him with great difficulty. If he could casually take out something of this level as a gift, his current status would be one of the presidents of the top ten chambers of commerce!

"This. Lord Sean ......, "However, no matter how much he tried to curse Sean, this envoy still didn't have the courage after all, and the beads of sweat on his forehead had unmistakably shown that he was flustered at this time, and the smile on his face had even turned into a local twitch of some kind of facial muscles," ...... This gem is not easy to find, and even in the trading capital, I am afraid that there will be no inventory......"

"It seems that the misunderstanding between us is still very deep." Sean shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, since you are not sincere, then I will not force it." …… You'd better leave, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll forgive you for not sending it away. ”

"Lord Sean......" The envoy didn't expect Sean's face to change, and the smile he showed a second ago was as if he didn't know each other, "There is something we can discuss slowly." You should also know the Dao, I really don't have the authority to extract elemental crystals of the level of Crimson Flame, Emerald Stone, and Black Rock Steel, and even the Azure Crystal you just took was something I inadvertently obtained and hadn't yet sent to the Trade Capital. ”

"Oh." Sean raised an eyebrow, "This envoy has not yet asked for your name. ”

As soon as he saw Sean raise his eyebrows, the envoy knew that it was going to be bad, but he still had to reply, "Just call me Lodeske, Lord Sean." ”

Sure enough, Sean quickly spoke again: "Lodeske, you know, actually, I'm a good talker. It doesn't matter if you don't have Crimson Flame, Emerald Stone, or Black Rock Steel. …… But as you know, I've just finished a war, and now my territory is in ruins, and I'm in need of some supplies. In this case, you can give me three years' rations for the entire territory, oh, by the way, and this army must also need to be replenished, so let's have another 100,000 slaves. Also, the damage caused by the war has left many parts of my territory in need of repair and reconstruction, so you can provide a few more groups of craftsmen and these building materials. ”

Hearing Sean's lion opening, Lodeske was completely dumbfounded: "Shaw...... Lord Sean, this ...... You want my life. ”

"This duke still has a lot of affairs, so I won't accompany you." Sean said with a righteous face, then stood up and left directly, obviously not meaning to continue talking at all.

In this way, Lodeske was completely anxious: "Lord Sean, don't go, we are doing these things...... You can still discuss it again, or if you give me another day or two, I'll go back and ask, after all, these things you said are very wide-ranging, I ...... I can't be the master. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Lodeske, I've said it all, I'm a good talker." When Sean turned around, he was already smiling, "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Seeing Sean's face change so freely, Lodesk really wanted to confuse Sean: What kind of good talk is this Nima!? It's an overlord clause at all!

Even if it is the worst kind of street where one gold coin can buy several slaves, 100,000 slaves is not less than 30,000 pan-continental gold coins, and this is already the cheapest in the list that Sean is asking for. To provide three years of rations for all the people of Shaun's entire Void Realm, the cost would not be less than one million Pan-Continent gold coins.

But if you compare it to the last post-war reconstruction work, then the ration worth a million gold coins is insignificant. Because the reconstruction of the territory after the war is a truly bottomless expense, especially the scale of Sean's current Void Territory is simply heart-wrenching: only the reconstruction assessment of the Ting Qi Domain, which was one of the key areas to be taken care of by the war, is impossible to complete without more than 300,000 Pan-Continent gold coins, and if you count the labor costs of the craftsmen, it will be at least 500,000 Pan-Continent gold coins.

And that's just a Tinchiin collar.

Behind them are the Kiraf Territory, the Burbis Territory, and the Yederby Territory, which are even more miserable.

The budget estimate for post-war reconstruction alone will never be less than five million Pan-Continental gold coins.

But in the eyes of those who really know it, the actual cost is usually about 20 to 30 percent higher than the budget estimate.

There was almost no need to go back to report back, and Lodeske knew that the headquarters of the Trade Capital of Ludao would definitely not allow Sean to open his mouth with such an extremely impudent lion, after all, the value of the materials that had been looted in the Gray Shadow Black Market was not much lower than the budget estimate for this post-war reconstruction, and even more if it was sold again at some point.

But Lodeske also knew that if he didn't agree to the sky-high price of the Void Duke, he would definitely not be able to make a difference.

Therefore, Lodeske really doesn't know where Sean's "easy to talk" is embodied. (To be continued......)
