223. Make another deal

Christina's eyes wandered a little.

As the only BUG-level character that Sean knows about at the moment, Christina's toughness is not to be doubted. She is proficient in a variety of abilities such as alchemy, martial arts, and arcane, and her field is still the most conventional [Support Effect] and [Enhance Yourself] two abilities, which not only allow her to have a longer endurance combat ability, but also make it particularly difficult.

Just looking at the fact that she beat the black tide of death before was as simple as drinking water, with a flaw inadvertently revealed by the black tide of death, so that the other party had no ability to fight back, you can know that Christina is not ordinarily strong. The demon soul in the thirteen coffins of the dead thorn became an old man because of the collapse of his magic power after he was defeated by Christina, but it was precisely because of this that his strength was greatly increased, so that he stepped into the realm of the lower holy realm in one fell swoop.

However, it is a pity that when the Peace Council received the Demon Soul and became the next Sanctuary powerhouse, the Peace Council obviously took protective measures against Christina, so that even if the Demon Soul wanted to take revenge, it would not be able to find anyone at all - when the Demon Soul and the Dark Realm Death Rider received Christina's appearance in the Trade Capital, they both hurried over, but they were stopped by the rest of the Peace Council halfway.

And Sean, who had no idea of being hostile to Christina before, also came from the consideration of Christina's strength.

At that time, he had not yet reached the golden realm, but Christina was already a strong man at the peak of the golden rank, and there was no chance of winning the battle with him, so of course Sean would not be so stupid. But that's not the case anymore. Although Sean has not yet stepped into the Holy Domain, with all the hole cards fully used, his physical strength may not be much weaker than the strong in the Holy Domain in a short period of time. The real gap is probably that he doesn't have the ability to do so.

However, if Sean is willing, he can open up a "field" as a bridge to make up for the gap in strength.

This is also the reason why Sean dares to face the provocation with Christina.

Similarly, Christina obviously knows Sean's true combat power, so she will hesitate at this time. She can ignore Rhotikabas, and just like she does, with the three abilities of magic and arcane plus martial arts. It wasn't difficult for her to subdue Cecilia, but when Harding also showed the momentum of a Sanctuary powerhouse, Christina didn't have so much confidence in this battle.

Chance. Less than forty percent.

Christina's face looked a little cloudy.

"Even if you send me away now, after I report these things, the next time I come will be more targeted." Christina took a deep breath, she wasn't a fool. On the contrary, she has extremely high personal strength, IQ, and emotional intelligence. Otherwise, the Peace Council would not dare to let her go out on a mission alone, so since the force could not threaten Sean, Christina naturally wanted to change the means of negotiation.

"Are you threatening me?" Sean said in a deep voice, but in his heart, he really moved to kill.

He dared to use Deaththorn as a bargaining chip for trading with the Peace Council, but that didn't mean that he would sell the Peace Council's intelligence as a bargaining chip. This is not only because the Peace Council is more powerful and terrifying than Deaththorn, but also because Deaththorn, no matter how crazy it is, at least they still maintain a trace of sanity, and they can dispatch the thirteen coffins of Deaththorn to find trouble for themselves, and they will not dispatch the Six Death Monuments to smash the field.

But the Peace Assembly. Sean believes that this group of madmen will definitely dare to send the Harmony Scales to find trouble for themselves if necessary. With Sean's current strength. Not to mention the dispatch of the Harmony Scale, even if a gold-robed executive came, he would not be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, if it is not necessary, Sean is really unwilling to really tear his face with the Peace Council, but if he is really forced, Sean does not mind making the Peace Council pay some price.

For example, Christina, a talent who has been trained by the Peace Council, has been dealt with.

Anyway, as long as he handles it cleanly, doesn't leave any clues, and makes sure that the Peace Council doesn't find his head, then it's not a big deal.

"It's not." Christina didn't seem to feel Sean's sudden outpouring of murderous intent at all, she still looked at Sean calmly, and even lifted her own domain, and even lowered her guard, "Please forgive me for the rude just now." …… I'm just, a little shocked, at what you know about us. Because in fact, even the golden-robed executive is not known to everyone inside the Peace Council, let alone outsiders. ”

Sean didn't answer.

Because he knows that all his answers to this question are untenable. It's just that since he had made an intelligence deal with Kristina about Deaththorn before, it would be the best answer for him not to answer at this time, because it would make him more unpredictable, and in some ways it would indeed discourage the Peace Council from trying to use force.

At the very least, Sean was sending a message at this point: there is a great price to pay for being my enemy.

"How about we make another deal." Sean said suddenly.

"What?" Christina couldn't keep up with Sean's leapfrog thinking at this time.

"What time is it?" Sean didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Late at night? …… Well, it should be early in the morning. Christina was stunned for a moment, then said, "In another hour or two, it will be dawn." ”

"I'm not asking about the time, I'm asking about the date." Sean rolled his eyes, a little helpless about Christina's comprehension, but he didn't take into account that his thinking jumped so much that it was really difficult for ordinary people to keep up.

"August 13, 1876." Christina didn't know what Sean meant by asking, but she replied anyway.

"We've been in that warped space for almost three months?" Sean was a little shocked by the speed of time, but it was only a slight shock before it was gone, "Medusa Chamber of Commerce." Remember? ”

The Medusa Chamber of Commerce was originally engaged in demonic realism on the Northern Continent, and Count Mario of Tindes was the first victim. But it is precisely because of this. The Talent Director Zhì Peace Association asked Christina to go all the way to hunt down, and in the end Sean had to poke out the matter, and it was precisely because of this that he later became involved with the Peace Council. However, after Sean poked out the matter of this chamber of commerce, this chamber of commerce was later "disposed of" by the peace council.

"Of course." Christina said in a deep voice, "Hasn't this Chamber of Commerce been resolved?" ”

"The boss behind this chamber of commerce is a real high-ranking demon." Sean said lightly, "Don't solve this demon's agent in this material world." A chamber of commerce like the Medusa Chamber of Commerce is as much as there are. …… Now that demon agent, after passing through the demon of Count Mario before, he has mastered quite a bit of demon-making technology. Now he is secretly trying to create a large number of demons, and is preparing to open the demon gates. ”

"What!" Christina's face changed instantly, and her face was incredible, "Where is it!" Why do you know this! ”

"It doesn't matter why I know this. The important thing is the information I can give you. Sean said calmly.

"What do you want?" looked at Sean's calm face. Christina knew that this was the information that Sean had proposed for the deal. Because there have been examples of transactions with Sean before, Christina doesn't think Sean's words are fake at this time, because if this information is really fake, then it will only be Sean who will be unlucky in the end.

"It's simple, I want to be safe." Sean said lightly, "I've already fought with the Dark Prophet once, and he has revealed a lot of secrets. …… Because of your mistakes. As a result, the Death Thorn has now seen me as a thorn in the flesh, according to the Dark Prophet. I'm about to face revenge and assassination from the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn, and my request is simple: your Peace Council will take care of the matter. ”

"Help you solve the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn?" Christina asked tentatively.

"Of course I'd be very happy if you could do it, but you've been fighting Deaththorn for so long, and no one can help anyone all along, so if it weren't for the information I gave you earlier, how could you possibly be able to deal with the Shadow Demons?" Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, the mockery on his face was very obvious, although Christina was a little uncomfortable after hearing it, but she also knew that Sean was telling the truth, so she did not refute, "Now that the Five Emperors of Death Thorn have been solved by you, Death Thorn will definitely strengthen its vigilance internally in a short period of time, which means that you will not be able to find trouble with Death Thorn in a short period of time." …… Then it's better to take advantage of now, I don't ask that you have to solve the Thirteen Coffins of Death Thorns, but at least you have to drag people down for me so that they don't have the opportunity to come to me for trouble. ”

"Even if we want to help you, we don't know the exact location of the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn now......"

"If you really have the heart to investigate, it's impossible not to find it, don't talk this nonsense to me." Sean said impatiently, "I really can't find it, so I'll arrange some people to go to my Void Duchy." …… Deaththorn's target is not only me, but also my followers and the Void Principality I have established, so they will definitely make a move within my principality, and if you really can't find anyone, go and wait for the rabbit. ”

Seeing Sean's expression, Christina knew that there would be no change if she continued to negotiate, and Sean's request was not too excessive, after all, this was indeed a mess made by their peace council. With Christina's current status in the Peace Council, it would not be too much of a problem to agree to such negotiation conditions, so after thinking for a while, Christina nodded and agreed to Sean's request.

"So, what about this information about you."

"I don't know the exact identity of that demon spokesman, but he is currently operating in the area of the Northern Alliance in the Northern Continent, and if you inquire a little, it shouldn't be difficult to find his traces." Sean finished this information directly in a few words, "But don't blame me for not reminding you, even if you solve this demon spokesman, if you can't break or seal the connection between the two worlds, that demon will still be able to find another spokesperson sooner or later." ”

Christina nodded slightly, indicating understanding. Then he turned and left, not stopping at all, as if he had also forgotten to ask about Sean's identity.

"Why did you let her go?" Wait until Christina is gone for a while. Harding turned his head to look at Sean, "With our strength, we are fully capable of keeping her, right?" As long as we handle the aftermath properly, there will be no problems, right? ”

Harding's idea coincided with Sean's original idea.

"I thought about your idea at first, but then I thought about it. I still don't think it's appropriate. Sean shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "That woman doesn't look particularly powerful, though. But she's very difficult to deal with, and it's not realistic for us to want to solve her without any loss. …… And once something happens to her, the Peace Council will definitely not give up, after all, this woman has a lot of background. So the best solution. There's nothing more than a distraction. ”

"That's why you're trading with her?" Cecilia had already understood Sean's thoughts. "Let the Peace Council help us hold down the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn?"

"It's more than that." Sean opened his mouth and added, "One of the five leaders of Deaththorn died, and the intelligence network and forces of the entire Northern Continent have been uprooted, and now Deaththorn's strength has suffered a very heavy loss, once this balance of strength is broken, the Peace Council will have extra time and energy to rectify other problems, so I have to let them find something to do, and offend that high-ranking demon by the way." ”

The demon behind the Medusa Chamber of Commerce. At the beginning of the game, Sean also led a group to raid it, and his difficult Cheng DΓΉ was naturally impressed. After all, it was a hundred-person copy.

Similarly, the Demon Riot that was about to break out in the Northern Continent at this time was a well-known event in the game at the time, just as the end of the war between the Duchy of Lane and the Kingdom of Dabion was a warm-up event for the first expansion. The Northland Alliance's man-made demon riot event was also a warm-up event for the upcoming second expansion in the game at that time, and it was also a foreshadowing for the demon invasion of the third expansion.

However, now in this world, with the destruction of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce and the killing of the person holding the Demon Book by Sean, the demon spokesperson may not be able to escape death, so Sean is not very sure if the demon invasion will still be staged as scheduled. Of course, if it doesn't, it would be great, but even if it really happens as scheduled, there is no loss for Sean, after all, it didn't break out here in the Southern Continent, at most, it was just affected by some trade issues.

"Offend that demon, and the next long period of events will have to keep the Peace Council busy." Sean chuckled, and then spoke, "Moreover, as long as the news is received by the Deaththorns, they will definitely not give up this opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs." …… Therefore, in such a situation, it is equivalent to letting the Peace Council start a war with the two major forces at the same time, then for a long time to come, their eyes will all be focused on the Northern Continent, and naturally there will be no incident to deal with us. ”

"So, you mean, even if we overturn the whole Savage Land in the future, there will be no one in the way." Cecilia is worthy of being Sean's closest person in the world, and she understood Sean's strategic intentions in an instant, "This is exactly the same way we provoked the kingdom of Dabion in the first place." ”

"It doesn't matter if the method is exactly the same, the most important thing is that the solution works." After a night of tension, there was a rare opportunity to relax at this time, and Sean also seemed much more casual, "Anyway, next, the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorn don't have time to come to my trouble, as long as they receive the news of the War between the Peace Council and a high-ranking demon, Deaththorn's side will definitely let the Thirteen Coffins also rush over to the Yin Peace Council." …… And we, on the other hand, can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters here in the wilderness to achieve the purpose of our trip, and we are all beneficiaries in any case. ”

"Indeed." Harding and Rottikabas both nodded, "This strategy is indeed better than killing her just now." ”

"Even if you really do it, you may not be able to kill her." Sean shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "If a Sacred Domain powerhouse really wants to escape, if the other party doesn't have the strength to completely crush it, it won't be able to stop it at all." …… And with Christina's strength, I'm afraid that the combination of several of us will only end up in a draw, so unless she is determined to stay and fight us to the death, or if we prepare in advance and attack in a surprise way, the result will be obvious. ”

Harding was now a true Sanctuary powerhouse, and his calculation and evaluation skills naturally became even better. At this time, after simulating the battle between the two sides in his mind a little, he was a little surprised to find that the actual result was indeed as Sean said, it was really not a simple matter to kill Christina, after all, people who could master the three major abilities of Fangshu, Arcane, and Martial Arts at the same time naturally could not be weak.

"Alright." Sean clapped his palms to draw everyone's attention before he spoke, "We're going to be very busy going forward, so don't waste any more time." If you're done resting, let's go now. (To be continued......)
