After asking, the next moment, Richard didn't wait for Noah's answer. What he waited for was Barry's loud objection.
"I don't allow it! I don't allow it!" Barry almost jumped and shouted.
Richard turned his head slightly, glanced at Barry, and asked calmly: "Why don't you allow it?"
"Because we have reached a consensus before!" Barry said loudly, his whole face was wet with excitement, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears, "You have to be trustworthy in life, you have to be trustworthy in life! You are so strong, you can’t just go back on your word, otherwise no one will believe you!”
Richard looked at Barry quietly for a few seconds and said, "There is something, you may have misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding? What?"
"That is... we have not reached a consensus." Richard said, "I did put forward my conditions before, and you also put forward yours.
My condition is to borrow the "Blood Book" for a period of time, and your condition is to help you kill your enemy Nuo An, help you kill all Nuo An's men, help you become the leader of the Ancestral Spirit Association, and when you meet him in the future If you encounter difficulties, I will try my best to help you.
Whether it is reasonable or not, let’s not say for the moment, at least in my opinion, your conditions are a bit exaggerated. Therefore, I did not explicitly promise you at that time, but I was prepared to wait and see what the situation was. If there is no choice, it is okay to cooperate with you.
But don’t blame me if there’s a better option. After all, cooperation is a two-way street. You can ask for a higher price, and I can change it to someone else. Right? "
After speaking, Richard looked at Barry calmly.
Barry swallowed with a "gudong" sound, then his feet went weak and he sat on the ground, his face turned pale.
It has to be said that Richard's words were a fatal blow to him.
Just now, he had fantasized about trying Nuo An, becoming the leader in an upright manner, and developing and growing the Ancestral Spirit Society with the help of Richard.
Who would have known that in the blink of an eye, he would lose his greatest support and become a bargaining chip on someone else's negotiation table.
At this time, he finally realized clearly how weak he really was.
In the final analysis, he is just a second-level wizard, and now because of the potion, he cannot display the strength of a second-level wizard at all, and is only a little stronger than an ordinary person.
When he cooperated and negotiated with Richard, the only thing he relied on was the promise of the future.
But only if he successfully becomes the leader can he have a future and hand over the promised "Blood Code" to Richard.
In comparison, Nuo An has more to rely on, and does not need unrealistic promises for the future - the "Blood Code" is in his hands, and he has the ability and brains.
this-
Barry was a little desperate. In despair, he was like a drowning man trying to grab straws. He suddenly turned his head to look at Richard, opened his mouth and said quickly: "I... I was wrong. I was really wrong. I shouldn't have put forward so many conditions." Yes, I will change it, I will change it now.
All I ask is that you kill damn Nuo An and hand over the "Blood Code" to you right away, and I don't need any other help from you. How about that? If that doesn't work, if you are in trouble, can I help you in turn and help you with all my strength? OK? "
Barry's words were extremely sincere, but Richard did not reply immediately after hearing this. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "That's all? Is this your biggest concession?"
"I… "
"Okay, let me think about it." Richard nodded slightly, slowly turned his head and looked at Nuo An.
"What is your attitude?" Richard asked, "Although your brother's conditions are already very good compared to before, I am still more inclined to cooperate with you."
"Really?" Nuo An said, his tone was a bit cold, his muscles twisted, he didn't know whether he was mocking or thinking deeply.
"How do I know that this is not your scam?" Noah asked, "You are just a stranger to me, and I know nothing about your origins. Unless you are willing to give everything you have without reservation. Tell me, otherwise, I don’t think there is any need to continue talking.”
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Nuo An and said, "I'm afraid, my origin is a bit complicated and I can't finish it in a short time. Besides, even if I tell you, you may not believe it."
"Then what you mean is that you want me to take all the risks?" Noah snorted, "Huh, I'm not that good-for-nothing Barry. He has no choice but to cooperate with you and do whatever you want. But I'm better than him. Much more, I don’t have to cooperate with you, I have other options.
You are indeed very strong, but whether you can kill me or not is still a question. The initiative to cooperate does not lie with you, but with me. Unless you can impress me, I am not willing to cooperate with you. "
After hearing this, Richard moved his eyebrows.
The situation before us is very clear: the advantage of cooperating with Barry, who has poor ability, is that it is easy to control, but the disadvantage is that except for the "Blood Code", it is difficult to obtain other benefits. The advantage of cooperating with the capable Nuo An is that it has more prospects, but the disadvantage is that the more capable the person, the more arrogant and difficult to control.
But having said that, if possible, he still wanted to try the latter.
After all, talent is a valuable resource. It's not easy to find someone like the one in front of you who can research and improve spells on your own. It's best to win over someone who can.
"How about this?" Richard looked at Nuo An and said again, "I can make an exchange and exchange research results for research results. Didn't you complete a few forbidden spells? I can exchange them with spells of the same level.
In addition, if you are interested, I can take you to my research room to let you know what I am doing. Trust me, you will be surprised. If you are interested, you can even follow me to do some research together, I guarantee you will not regret it. "
After listening to Richard's words, Nuo An was silent for a while, as if he was thinking seriously, and then suddenly sneered: "Oh, are you very confident, stranger! Let me guess, although you are now communicating with me as an equal, , but in your heart you are aloof, right
Maybe, in your eyes, there is not much difference between me and my good-for-nothing Barry, but we are just a little bit smarter. It is this bit of intelligence that makes you interested in me and makes you think that someone like me is more suitable to be your subordinate and help you with research
Ha, if you really think so, then I can only tell you that you think too much. In this world, no one can make me my subordinate, only I can make others my subordinate. "
After hearing this, Richard raised his eyebrows, shook his head slightly, looked at Nuo An and said, "I have to say, your pride is really annoying, just like me."
"Oh, maybe we are the same kind of people." Nuo An said coldly, "Because of this, I hate you very much from the moment we meet.
In this case, if you want to make me give in, you'd better stop talking nonsense and show me what you're really capable of. After all, the only thing people like you and me can surrender to is the unchangeable reality! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Nuo An suddenly stepped on the ground, jumped up high, and quickly approached.
Richard's eyes instantly narrowed, and his body instantly entered a fighting posture.
The battle is about to break out.
Seeing this scene, the most excited person in the scene was Barry. Seeing that Noah and Richard had not reached a cooperation, he almost couldn't help shouting: "Okay-"
My voice broke even at the end of my shouting.
