The next day, Xi Ya received the two special envoys of the Shadow Empire in the meeting hall.
Originally, yesterday was the last day of the seven-day deadline given by Catherine, and it was also the day when Shia and Kafu agreed to start negotiations. However, after seeing newspapers and Magic TV, Kafu temporarily changed his strategy, using the excuse of Celine In the event of Princess Villa, the mental state did not recover, and a day off was needed, which delayed the negotiation time.
In fact, Kafu used the messenger to get in touch with Catherine, and after receiving new instructions, he brought the "healed" Celine to the palace.
In the middle of the meeting hall is a long white table. Xia sits on the upper throne directly in front of the table, with several chairs lined up on both sides. Disiyaro, Stiller and others are sitting on the left side, and there is nothing on the right side. One person, obviously reserved for the two special envoys.
Kafu and Celine bowed to Xia, Xia raised her hand to let them sit on the right side, and said: "Miss Celine, what happened the day before yesterday surprised you. It has been verified that the hijacking incident was committed by the elder family. The Mishan family planned it all by themselves, and the Mishan family is a spy of the Blood Fiend Empire. The real identity of the patriarch, Angelet, is the Marquis of the Blood Fiend. He has been lurking in the Fallen Angel Empire for many years. Because of Obsidian's incompetence, he has not discovered it. This time Ange Lie's purpose of planning the kidnapping incident is obvious. He wants to sabotage the peace talks, sow discord between our two countries, and benefit the Blood Fiend Empire. I have already wiped out the Mishan family at the fastest speed. The last time I offended Miss Celine The Rosen Poll was also deprived of all his powers and accepted life imprisonment, which is worse than death, I hope General Cafu and Miss Celine will be satisfied with this treatment."
It is indeed a very, very heavy punishment to kill a big elder family's entire family, and turn the heir of another elder family (on the surface) into a cripple and imprison him for a lifetime. Life is worse than death.
However, everyone on the Fallen Angel Empire understands the tricks in it, especially Stiller, who is very grateful—Her Majesty's meaning is to push all the blame on the Mishan family. On the surface, Rosen's handling seems very Miserable, but Stiller personally did it at that time, in order to let Lola spare his life, and the special envoy's side is completely different.
This is the advantage of standing in line. If you don't submit to the queen, I'm afraid not only Rosen himself, but the entire Boer family will suffer disaster this time.
Kafu glanced at Celine, and Celine immediately stood up, showing a spring-like smile: "I said before, Your Majesty is the host, and I am just a guest. No matter what His Majesty does, I have no objection. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern. and help."
Xi Ya nodded: "Now that we have gained insight into the conspiracy of the Blood Fiend Empire, we should unite as one, truly show the sincerity of cooperation, establish a relationship of mutual assistance, mutual benefit, good-neighborliness and friendship, and jointly move towards the road to prosperity."
Cafu said: "Your Majesty is right. We followed the orders of Emperor Catherine and traveled thousands of miles to the Capital of Fallen Angels with sincere friendship in order to further promote bilateral relations and development."
Both sides spoke very well in the scene, but they all knew that the so-called friendship was just a nice shell, and there was a naked interest relationship between countries.
There is no room for two tigers on one mountain. If there is no powerful Blood Fiend Empire eyeing it, the Shadow Empire would have annexed the Fallen Angel Empire long ago, and the Fallen Angel Empire is using this most important point to deal with it. It's like when the White Night Emperor was in power, Catherine was struggling to survive in the gap between the blood fiend and the fallen angel.
The game relationship between the three countries is somewhat similar to Chen Rui's memory of the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is quite delicate.
Over the years, the strong and the weak have ebbed and flowed, but they have always stood firm. It is still unknown which of the three empires will perish first, and which will be the last.
After the scene is finished, all that remains is to throw away the shell of hypocrisy, and it's time to negotiate Chi Guoguo's interests.
Now Shia has used her tricks and coercion to subdue the elder family and the royal family, and her control over the empire has been greatly strengthened. Catherine's original plan has failed, but Cafu's attitude is still very tough, and he proposes the Shadow Empire A series of harsh conditions such as garrisoning troops in Dark Moon, sharing secret recipes for land improvement, and "talent exchange" including Dark Moon Finance Officer Chen Rui.
These conditions sounded unbearable at first glance, and there was an urge to beat Cafu up. It's just that Disjak, Stiller and the others here are also experienced negotiators, and they are not in a hurry. They adopted a slow-working strategy to neutralize Cafu's offensive bit by bit.
In fact, both parties in the negotiation have a psychological reserve price, and on this basis, they ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. After intense negotiations, Kafu finally loosened up. The issue of the Dark Moon Garrison can be negotiated again, and requirements such as land improvement and battle ball formulas can also be considered in an alternative way... However, there is a "talent exchange" Resolutely not letting go, that is, Chen Rui must be this person.
Judging from the current situation, the attitude of the Shadow Empire has been greatly eased. This is a good start. However, the Fallen Angel Empire is weaker than the opponent, so it must make certain concessions. It is inevitable to sacrifice some people or interests. If It must be worthwhile to hand over the key that Chen Rui can promote the two countries to reach an agreement.
The negotiators, Disjak and Stiller, turned their attention to Her Majesty the Queen, but Her Majesty's expression remained the same, showing no signs of being moved, so they could only avoid the important issue and not give a formal answer. Cafu's side was naturally very dissatisfied, and some aspects that had been loose began to press again. After several hours of verbal battles, the two sides did not reach any substantive agreement.
It was already noon at this time, and Shia arranged for Kafu and Celine to have a meal and rest, while the negotiating team of the Fallen Angel Empire stayed behind.
Disjak said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I think I can consider agreeing to the talent exchange request of the Shadow Empire. Although Chen Rui is a rare internal affairs talent who has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Dark Moon, but now His Majesty has ascended the throne , the focus should be on the overall situation, not a dark moon territory, so it is necessary to make some sacrifices."
Stiller and others also echoed their words, but Xia rejected the proposal in one sentence: "We can use a large number of soil crystals to replace the soil improvement formula, we can also give up the formula of the battle ball, and we can even share the technology of the magic TV, but Chen Rui will not back down in this matter at all!"
This resolute attitude made Disyaluo and others look at each other: How could a mere human being have such weight in Her Majesty's heart? Than the secret recipe for fight balls and magic TV
In the past, representatives of some elder families would have jumped out to debate fiercely, but now they dare not say much, but Stiller tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, do you consider the Dark Moon Lord Athena?" over there..."
"It's not Athena's problem." Shea looked at the puzzled crowd: "There are no outsiders here, so I will reveal something to you. Think about it, everyone, the battle ball, the magic water conservancy system, the strong-flavored rice wine... including newspapers and Magic TV, has it appeared in the devil world?"
Everyone shook their heads, these are unprecedented new things, a few quick-thinking people have already reacted, their faces are full of horror, Dithjak couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty means that these are..."
"That's right," Shia nodded, "There are his shadows in each of these new things. The ideas of magic TV, battle balls, and magic water conservancy systems were inspired by him during the dark moon. Inspired by him, the newspaper was a plan proposed by him some time ago, and the formula of Luzhou-flavor rice wine was also provided by Chen Rui!"
Everyone showed shock at the same time. They didn't expect this human being's talent to reach such a level. They finally understood why Shia didn't let go of this matter.
Giving a man a fish is a completely different concept from teaching a man to fish. How could such a talented person be lost to other countries!
Xi Ya said with a serious face: "Everyone remember, the matter about Chen Rui is the top secret, and there must be no rumors!"
Everyone nodded in unison. In fact, Her Majesty still has one of the biggest secrets that she has not revealed—this human being is the future Her Majesty the Queen, and the only man Her Majesty has fallen in love with since the eldest princess. How can I let it to others
Chen Rui didn't know that he had become a hot "short commodity" in the negotiation. At this time, he was taking Isabella to discuss with Lola about the Seal of Light in the Rainbow Valley.
"Space magic is not as simple as you imagine." After Luo La asked Chen Rui's intention to go to the human world, she shook her head: "Those human magicians should have created a fixed magic through countless experiments. The facility is used to detect the material with the property of space coordinates where the demon world is located, and then use the approximate position coordinates of this coordinate to launch a random teleportation in the jumping space. There is no such facility now, even if there is, it will take a few months to detect and test the spatial coordinates of the human world, plus the debugging of the machine and the transmission test... it will take at least a few years... "
It was as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on Chen Rui's head, and he immediately became colder: "Then is there any other way to go to the human world?"
"There is a secret summoning technique in the human world, which uses a special magic circle to summon creatures from different spaces, and signs a contract under the voluntary condition of both parties. In this case, it should be possible to realize the safe transmission of space, but the ones usually summoned are those with lower strength. Mozu, and there is a considerable element of luck, it is very difficult to come across, obviously this method is not suitable for the current situation."
"Do you have a way to suppress the Seal of Light Oblivion?"
"If it was the early stage of the curse seal, I might be able to neutralize or peel it off with dark elements, but the curse seal has gone deep into the soul after two hundred years. If it is removed by force, it will also wipe out the host's soul." Laura thought for a while. I thought, "Now I can only moderately alleviate the pain of the onset of this spell, but I can't prolong the time for the final eruption. Let Yi Ni stay here and do a few tests."
Luo La's answer made Chen Rui feel very heavy: "Isabella, you stay here, I'm going to Dark Moon now, the earth elemental king should already be on his way to Dark Moon."
Isabella smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."
The two women watched Chen Rui's figure disappear into the portal of Rainbow Valley. Laura pondered for a moment and asked, "Why don't you let me tell him that there is another way to reach the human world?"
Isabella asked back: "That method... are you sure?"
Laura shook her head: "No, if you break through the space directly, the danger is much greater than that of human teleportation. Even I may fall into the turbulent flow of space. I believe that even a demigod-level powerhouse will not dare to take it lightly." try."
"You should understand him, if there is no other way, he will definitely try," Isabella shrugged: "Then, as a woman, are you willing to watch the man you love risk your life for another woman?" Danger?"
Back then, Isabella met Laura when she came to Dark Moon to "save" her best friend Krobelus, and the two got along very well. Before Chen Rui asked Lola about the way to go to the human world, so Lola was asked to keep the last method a secret.
"Of course not."
Luo La replied without hesitation, pondered for a moment, and added: "However, if he is not a man with a sense of responsibility, he cannot be my man."
Isabella was slightly startled, and looked at Laura with a strange color: "Really? I suddenly thought of an incomprehensible sentence he said - when the Nazis came to arrest the Communists, I kept silent because I was not a Communist; when they came for the Jews I kept silent because I was not a Jew; when they came for the Trade Unionists I kept silent because I was not a Trade Unionist; When the Catholics came for me, I kept silent because I was a Protestant; when they came for me, I had no one to speak for me. Do you mean…?"
"What?" Laura frowned, not pretending to be stupid: "Why haven't I heard this passage before."
"Is what he says different from every woman? My sister Laura, it seems that you have to take some time to train this guy." Isabella smiled coquettishly: "But before that, I still want to help I'll try to get that Seal of Light, I'm so afraid of the pain that I'm going to die."
"Oh," Laura replied blankly: "I suddenly want to listen to a song. I heard Shia say, what is it called... "The End of the World"?"
It was the first time for Isabella to encounter the black-bellied attribute of the pseudo-natural lady, and she couldn't help but startled: "No problem."
"By the way, I heard from Olivier, it seems... he often drinks a drink with you, and he drinks it for hours."
"drinks?"
"What?"
"That's called tea. It tastes a bit bitter. You may not be used to it."
"What?"
"Okay... I'll drink it for you..."
"oh."
