The way the Lord of the Living Corpses appeared was indeed quite mysterious, so much so that most people present still hadn't figured out how he appeared. But compared to this mysterious and powerful guy, the arrival of the Gemini didn't seem to have much surprise.
No, not only is there nothing surprising, but it even makes people feel a little dumbfounded - because the twin living corpses actually came by boat like Muggles!
"Actually, I can also reveal a secret that is not a secret to all human beings." The Lord of the Living Corpses sat at the table and turned his head slightly, looking at the speedboat docking near the reef not far away, and was very surprised. He said casually, "After leaving the clouds that contain the power of soul rules, the strength of the living zombie clan will be slightly reduced - of course, the change will not be too big. This is not the choice of the two of them. The reason for coming by boat. The reason why they used the boat to cross the sea is purely because they do not have the magic talent related to long-distance and fast movement."
"You are the one they swear to be loyal to. Is it appropriate to expose their weaknesses like this?" After hearing this, Safina couldn't help but question him.
But who would have thought that the black figure sitting firmly at the table just nodded calmly and said:
"Of course it's appropriate... It's precisely because they trust me so much that I do this, and I'm not worried about what misunderstanding they will have on me if they find out. Because they will believe that everything I do may not be for their own good. , but at least it’s impossible to harm them.”
Now that the other party has spoken to this extent, "outsiders" like Safina, even if they have some unnecessary sense of justice, can no longer question and intervene. What's more, even if cooperation negotiations are to be held next, at least until the negotiations are successful, both the living corpses and humans are complete enemies.
Safina actually knows very well that showing mercy to the enemy is probably the stupidest behavior in the world.
As a result, the tower platform finally fell into silence again.
To be honest, everyone has been silent too much in the past few days. Such a depressing and slightly negative atmosphere will always suppress everyone's enthusiasm and courage.
Fortunately, the silent atmosphere did not last too long this time, and the twins had climbed onto the platform step by step through the stairs of the tower and appeared in front of the wizards.
"Master, good morning... we are late."
As soon as they appeared, the living corpse siblings immediately ignored the large group of wizards on the platform and came directly to the owner to say hello. After the master shook his head and did not blame, they turned around and nodded to the wizards around them, and then stood silently behind the master, as if they had become two thugs and bodyguards.
Of course, everyone has rarely seen a bodyguard who is skinnier than his master.
At this moment, the Lord of the Living Corpses finally withdrew his gaze from the sea outside, and for the first time looked at Miss Lovegood who was sitting across the table without laziness.
"The participants from both sides of the negotiation are here, so... this person must be the next person to negotiate with us on your behalf, right?"
"Yes, this is Miss Luna Lovegood, one of my best and most trusted friends." Hermione, who was standing aside, replied seriously, "In today's negotiation, I have decided to It is entirely up to her to express her opinions.”
When Hermione said this, she was actually a little nervous, even though she had already made a decision on this matter.
As for the other party...the Lord of the Living Corpses sitting opposite Luna didn't seem to have any abnormal reaction to this.
"Well," the black figure nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's get started! First of all, let me repeat the ultimate purpose of this negotiation - I hope to promote alliance cooperation between humans and living corpses , and work together to defeat those incarnations of sin that should not appear in this world... also known as 'demons'."
"Including yourself?"
Safina stared at him and said this suddenly, which immediately made the eyes of the twins standing behind the Lord of Living Corpses reveal a fierce look. But soon, Safina was pulled behind by Delphi who was standing aside.
"I'm sorry," Hermione had to say when she saw this, "I just said that the matter of negotiation has been given to Miss Lovegood. What Miss Geoffrey just said does not count."
Some people choked at this point, which was indeed a bit inappropriate. After all, this was a cooperation negotiation. Even if the negotiation fails in the end or even collapses, it should be because there is something wrong with the exchange of interests in the negotiation, not because of this very straightforward offensive rhetoric.
Although... Safina's question did touch on a key point.
"Um… "
The Lord of the Living Corpses, or the demon "Greedy" glanced at Safina, and as expected, did not give a very clear answer to this question.
"I understand that there are some fundamental contradictions between living corpses and humans, demons and humans. It seems impossible for the two of us...or the three of us to become eternal friends. But even if one day in the future we need to change Returning to a hostile relationship, at least at this stage, cooperation may not be impossible... Miss Lovegood, right? What do you think?"
These words seem to be clear and coherent, but any point where a decision needs to be made seems a bit ambiguous. But at least, he did lay out a feasible way of thinking about the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
Being friends now and enemies in the future is a very simple phased compromise negotiation. When the fact of cooperation is beneficial to both parties, such negotiations do have value - at least Hermione thinks so.
However, she was not the one negotiating on behalf of the human wizards, so she could only keep her thoughts to herself and watch Luna's back silently.
She could feel that although Luna said nothing during this period and always looked dazed, her attention was still focused on the big dark man across the table.
"Well?"
Luna blinked, her eyes a little wandering, and she didn't know whether the focus was on the other person. She just tilted her head and looked at the other party for a while, then said quietly:
"Can you tell me... Should we cooperate? I don't quite understand what you are saying... Why would a demon want to deal with other demons? Aren't you all demons?"
