243. Negotiations
"This ......," McGerntyre's face looked shocked, "why...... It will be on your hands. ”
"Guess." Sean smiled.
McGonagall's gaze finally took off the box, and then landed on Sean's, her gaze was a little cloudy, but what she was thinking, Sean couldn't guess. However, if McGonagall wanted to do it with herself, then he was not afraid, because if it was to fight on this tree of life, it would be the Wind Feather tribe that would suffer heavy losses.
"I can't guess." McGonagall exhaled deeply, then said calmly.
"Intercepted from the side of the Death Thorn." Sean shrugged.
"Deaththorn!" When they heard the name, McGonagall and Mibakasa looked extremely shocked.
For this criminal organization that is famous throughout the continent, it is obvious that even the Savage Land has heard of it. But those who have always had a holiday with the Savage Land, that is also the alliance of the major empires, kingdoms and chambers of commerce that regard the Wild Land as their backyard, and it is generally impossible for organizations like Deaththorn to be paid for by others and their efforts to have anything to do with the Wild Land, and the tribes of the Wild Land have always paid attention to the neat and neat way of fighting, and it is really not their style to play assassination.
"Why...... Will the thorns of death rob this severed branch? McGonagall and Mibakassar looked at each other, clearly unable to understand.
"Because I want you to join the radicals of the Savages." Sean smiled and simply announced the answer, "I have some personal vendetta with Deaththorn...... If I'm not mistaken, you'll know all about me. It's all from Deaththorn, but they didn't expect you to be tempted to investigate me anyway......"
"It's not that hard." It was Mibakasa who answered, and his voice was very calm. "Although we are called savage, and we are limited by many things from the outside world, we also have many things here that are very precious to people from the outside world, so we ......"
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." Sean shrugged, "So you found out about me from the merchants who traded with you. ”
McGonagall nodded. Said: "I just didn't expect that this qiē is a conspiracy of dead thorns." …… What the hell did you do to make Deaththorn hate you so much? I've heard that it's a peace council. That's it. ”
"Nothing." Sean shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression, "I just made a deal with the Peace Council, and I sold one of Deaththorn's nests to the Peace Council. Let them not interfere with me in the trouble of the kingdom of Dabion. ”
McGonagall almost squirted out in a mouthful. He stared at Sean in amazement, and only after a long time did he speak, "Big deal." ”
"I'd be happy to make a big deal with Storm Feather if you wanted to." Sean smiled and continued with McGonagall's words.
Hearing Sean's words, McGonagall's eyes lit up, and he knew that he had finally cut to the chase.
The taboo of negotiation is that you should not expose your own face too early. However, from the very beginning, McGonagall knew that she had not failed to gain the upper hand in the communication with Sean. So at this time, he didn't have any scruples, and his eyes naturally fell directly on the box containing the broken branches of the Tree of Life on the table.
"This broken branch of the tree of life. It's one of those deals. Sean pushed the box in front of McGonagall, but his hand didn't leave, still pressing on the box, "Of course, it must be when our deal is completed for this to be considered a deal." …… If we fail, you won't be able to get it. ”
"It seems like it's mine." McGonagall's gaze moved away from the box with some difficulty, and then looked at Sean with an undisguised murderous intent in her eyes.
But for this killing intention, Sean raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say anything, but the moment his hand left the box, the whole box disappeared in front of everyone. However, with the strength of McGonagall and Mibakasa, they could naturally feel that the moment this box disappeared, there were extremely slight ripples in the air, which was proof that something was being included in another dimension.
The more advanced the space storage device, the less space fluctuations will be when accessing.
Through this, McGonagall and Mibakasa knew that the space storage appliance in Sean's hand was very advanced. And such a high-level thing, I'm afraid that with their strength, it will definitely not be able to crack it, if they really want to forcibly crack it, then it will only lead to destroy everything in their space storage device. So this means that even if they can take down Sean and the others regardless of the damage that will cause damage to the tree of life, and on the premise of breaking the foundation of the tribe, they will still not be able to take the broken branch of the tree of life in the end.
After thinking about this, the murderous intent in McGonagall's eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a sincere smile: "However, it was also lost in my hands, and now that you have it, Lord Shaun, then it is your thing." ”
The elves of the Savage Lands have long since learned to be tactful because they have experienced too much suffering, and they still maintain an almost transcendent and arrogant attitude like other elven races, especially the forest elves. So at this time, McGonagall's face changed so quickly, in addition to surprising Cecilia and the others, Sean was still indifferent, as if he had known such a result a long time ago.
It's just that now Sean didn't speak, and of course McGonagall just stubbornly continued to speak: "I don't know, what does Lord Sean want to talk to us about?" ”
"Mutual benefit." After staring at McGonagall for a long time, Sean finally smiled slightly, and then spoke, "I need allies, and the more allies the better." …… You took the broken branch of the Tree of Life of the Raven Tribe this time, as long as you feed your Tree of Life, the Raven Tribe will definitely know, and it will inevitably be a war at that time, and you also know that the Raven Tribe is the strongest of the three elven tribes, do you think you can fight with them? ”
In fact, the three elven tribes of the Savage Lands. It refers to the three elven tribes with the tree of life, not that these three elven tribes are really the overlords of the Savage Lands. The history of the formation of the Savage Lands doomed the most powerful overlord-level tribes in the Savage Lands to remain the tribes ruled by the barbarians, followed by the dwarves and elves. And the reason why the elven race is so weak that it doesn't even have a first-class tribe is naturally related to its low fertility and slow growth rate.
Of course, for all the elves in the Savage Lands, these three elven tribes with the Tree of Life are still overlord-level beings. Basically, all the other elven races attached to these three tribes were separated from this tribe, just as the Eye of the Storm was to the Broken Wind Tribe and the Snowwind Tribe were to the Snowwind Tribe in the same way that the Eye of the Storm Tribe was to the Snowwind Tribe
And the elven tribes, in addition to internal strife. If it is a foreign war, it has always been calculated on the basis of comprehensive strength.
What is the overall strength of the elven race?
Refers to all the tribes that are attached to these three elven tribes. Like the Wind Feather Tribe, don't look at this tribe, there are only two middle Sacred Domain powerhouses and three lower Sacred Domain powerhouses. However, if it is really a foreign war, then all the elven tribes attached to the feather of the wind will participate in the war. Judging from the comprehensive strength of the Wind Feather Tribe, it is still possible to come up with ten lower-rank Sacred Domain powerhouses, after all, there are still five extremely powerful third-rank tribes under it.
At this point. How the strength of the elven tribes and other tribes of the Savage Lands is calculated. It is not comparable.
It's just that the Grey Raven Tribe, which is dominated by gray elves, is obviously better than Wind Feather and Eye of Storm in terms of overall strength. Therefore, if the Wind Feather and the Crow do fight, there is a good chance that the loser will only be the Wind Feather, and it is even very likely that the Tree of Life will not be saved.
Sean, obviously, has grasped this weakness and made McGonagall seem to be in a difficult position.
"If I make an alliance with you, what good will I gain?" McGonagall looked at Sean, then asked in a deep voice.
"As long as the crows dare to trouble you. Then I can guarantee that the Ravens will be history. Sean said softly, "Of course, I may not be able to take too many people on the strong side." But in terms of the big players, I can guarantee that we will definitely be able to come up with a lineup that will blind you. And I can also provide you with weapon armor, the real weapon armor, which is made by the workshop in my territory, not ordinary goods, these are enough to raise your military strength to a level. ”
Hearing that Sean was able to provide weapons and equipment, McGonagall's face was stunned, and it was replaced by a look of ecstasy.
In the wilderness, the trade of weapons and equipment has always been stuck by the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the surrounding kingdoms and empires, and it is almost impossible to smuggle and smuggle them. Therefore, the source of weapons and equipment in the wilderness is basically captured through a series of hard-won battles, in the early days in order to achieve victory, those wars are almost all filled with their lives, until the last ten years of war, the casualties of the tribes in the wilderness are not so terrifying.
Therefore, the provision of weapons and equipment may be second only to the broken branches of the Tree of Life for the Wind Feather Tribe.
"I guess what Lord Sean wants isn't as simple as an ordinary ally, right?" After the excitement and excitement, McGonagall also quickly calmed down, he knew that Sean threw such a completely irresistible bait, so the plot must not be simple, "If I form an alliance with you, then what price do I need to pay?" ”
"It's simple, first I need you to provide you with a broken branch of your tree of life." Sean held out a finger.
"What do you mean?" Mibakasa was a little confused.
"This is a deal I made with the princess of the Snowwind Tribe." Sean turned his head to look at Mibakasa, he could not say this answer, but he didn't think it was necessary, "That princess is much more ambitious than yours." But it doesn't matter, I also have a deal with her, and she wants to be the next head of the eye of the storm, which I think is a good idea, and it is very beneficial for me. ”
"I don't think Lord Sean should be unaware of the growth limits and influence of the Tree of Life, right?"
"Of course I do." Sean smiled, "But when the Tree of Life of your two tribes grows to the point where the area of influence overlaps, it will be a thousand years later, and then it will not be too late for your problems to be solved." …… A human like me would not live to witness the events of that time. So for me, it's the things that matter right now. And I need a very large number of allies, that's all. ”
Speaking of which, Sean saw that McGonagall seemed to have some hesitation and confusion on her face. So he continued: "Besides, if that princess becomes the leader of the Eye of the Storm, it will not be a loss for you, on the contrary, I can also introduce you to meet and get to know each other, and then maybe we can join forces to deal with the Crow tribe." …… After eliminating a competitor, you can divide up the territory of the Raven Tribe, or even ...... Including a tree of life. ”
McGonagall's brow furrowed slightly. Apparently already moved.
Of course, there is another reason why he is excited, and that is that the eye of the storm is still in turmoil. In the midst of this turmoil, which continues to this day. The foundation of the Eye of the Storm has begun to be damaged to a certain extent, so even if the princess of the Snow Wind Tribe becomes the leader of the Eye of the Storm at this time, there may not be many people obeying her, so it is inevitable that there will be another internal bloodbath.
And if you drag the eye of the storm into the water and become your own. Then when they fight with the Raven tribe. The eye of the storm will surely have to help. In this way, the strength of the Eye of the Storm will be damaged, and even if the Tree of Life of the Raven Tribe is evenly divided, the future growth of the Eye of the Storm will be far behind that of the Wind Feather, and even if the two Life Trees grow to the fifth order, the Wind Feather will still have enough ability to eat the Eye of the Storm.
As a result, Wind Feather may become the only elven tribe in the entire Wild Lands, and perhaps the first world tree in the world will be born in their Wind Feather tribe.
Come to think of this. McGonagall's eyes became extremely excited.
The so-called success and fame, no one is exempt from vulgarity.
Just look at the eyes of the leader of the Wind Feather Tribe. Sean already knew what he was thinking. It's just that he is not optimistic about this unitary chief, because he has not been with that Saloki. The people who Princess Snow Wind has come into contact with will not understand the intelligence of this crazy careerist. Her personal strength may be zero, but she has an extremely advanced vision and insight, and the Feather of the Wind wants to swallow the Eye of the Storm controlled by Saloki, only to fear that the final result will be reversed.
But this, Sean will not say anything.
He's only trading with Wind Feather, but he has a deeper connection to Saloki. At that time, if there was no golden powerhouse, Sean was not sure if he would finally be able to live and join the people of the Void Realm, so as to return to the Void Realm and become a Grand Duke.
So in terms of personal emotional tendencies, Sean is more inclined to Saloki. Snow wind.
Not the Eye of the Storm Tribe, not the Snowwind Tribe, but Saloki. Yukikaze is such a person.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the current shape was a little imminent, Sean would not have thought about making a deal with McGonagall, and would have found a way to get a broken branch of the Tree of Life from here and leave. Even if he can't get it, he still has this broken branch of the Tree of Life that the Wind Feather Tribe got from the Crow Tribe to hand it over.
"Anything else?" It was clear that after weighing the pros and cons, McGonagall was really tempted.
"You must also provide me with military support if I need it." Sean held out a second finger, "In return, I will give you the status of citizens of the Void Principality, and allow your people to freely enter and leave the Void Principality, and even settle and do business, and I guarantee that you will enjoy the rights that a citizen of the Void Principality can enjoy." …… Of course, as part of the citizens of the Void Duchy, they will also have to obey the laws and obligations I have established, including military service. ”
"Military service?" McGonagall didn't understand the meaning of the word, and it was clear that there was no such thing as "military service" in the Savages.
"That is, to join my army." Sean explained, "The Plateau Elves are known as swordsmen and archers, and I don't want to waste them. …… However, this is free and does not have any compulsion. So they are reluctant to respond to the conscription, and I will not force it, but this also means that it is normal, if it is a forced conscription order, then it is not free. ”
"I see." McGonagall was a little shocked by the status of "citizen of the Void Duchy", because it stands to reason that there are many people who dare to trade with the tribes of the Wild Lands, but there is not a single one who dares to open their mouths to allow the people of the Wild Lands to obtain the status of citizens.
Sean is arguably the only one.
"Anything else?" It seems that the benefits are so generous that McGonagall can't believe it.
"The next thing is what some allies will negotiate, including joint military exercises, technology sharing, and so on." Sean shrugged, "But these don't matter compared to the two I mentioned earlier. So if Mistress McGonagall agrees with the two important things I mentioned above, and is willing to ally with my Void Duchy, then it will be my sister who will negotiate with you about the alliance. ”
In the face of Sean's calm and polite words, McGonagall did not reply immediately, but said, "Can we discuss?" ”
"Absolutely." Sean nodded, "It's not a forced buying and selling, if you don't agree, then I can't help it." (To be continued......)
