There was no anger in Su Mu's heart, and all the coldness came from deliberate acting.
So no matter whether the great gift of the Peacock King was true or false, accidental or coincidental, Su Mu's goal has been successfully achieved after all.
The only thing to do next... is to put forward more stringent conditions.
Therefore, under Maggie's persuasive persuasion, Su Mu also returned to the palace of the king city again, and sat comfortably in a very luxurious seat.
With his eyes calm, he looked at the man on the throne.
The Peacock King is a man about forty years old, but for his strong age, the Peacock King's ambitions are almost impossible to display.
Because above the head of King Peacock, there is no doubt that the cloud called "Sacrificial Meeting" is always pressed.
In fact, today's King Peacock's overturning of the sacrificial ceremony is far more than just a scene on the Peacock Terrace. The humiliation of the royal family for thousands of years has already been gathered and exploded.
"You... can you really give me a clear sky?"
The first question is still the Peacock King, the master of the kingdom.
Although the King Peacock had already understood the price he was going to pay for the gift of Su Mu. But compared with the cost, the Peacock King is more concerned about... whether his expectations can be realized.
"In fact, the biggest mistake your country has made for thousands of years is that it has always been friendly with the Empire, but instead is facing the edge of the Federation, which comes from behind."
At this moment, it was not Su Mu who was grandly invited back to answer the question of King Peacock, but it was Maggie, the saint of the Papal Kingdom, who became more and more incomprehensible to Su Mu.
"In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Longtuo, who are also the five ancient empires, will certainly not sit back and watch the recovery of a huge empire. On the contrary, it is the latest and sharpest federation that doesn't care about the attitudes of the rest of the nations at all. To make the Federation itself stronger, they don't care about using any means at all."
"Or to put it more bluntly, instead of allowing the sacrificial rites to lead the Tianzhu Three Kingdoms to completely fall to Long Tuo, in fact, it is the best solution for you to stand up and favor the Federation."
Maggie's words seemed to make sense at first glance.
But in fact, only Su Mu himself knew that all of this was based on the balance of power of the three countries.
Once Emperor Longtuo’s ambitions truly broke the balance between the three nations, the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, sandwiched between the empire and the federation, will sooner or later become the arena of the two nations.
Therefore, Maggie's remarks were not so much to point out a clear way to King Peacock, but rather to give Su Mu and the Federation an opportunity to intervene here.
As long as the Peacock royal family fell to the federation... the federation will naturally be in the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, and it is also very promising!
…
Su Mu's heart became more and more dazed, looking at Maggie, who was still calm and treacherous.
I can't understand it at all... Her current self-sacrificing behavior seems to be unable to bring any benefit to the Papal State at all, but what purpose is it for
However, at this moment, no matter how puzzled Su Mu was in his heart, it was impossible to just blurt out Maggie directly in front of King Peacock.
Now I can only follow Maggie's words and continue to boast:
"What the Federation needs, or what I need, is just the power to enter the tomb of King Daming to observe. As for the internal affairs and royal power of the Peacock Nation, we are not interested in arbitrary interference."
"Even as long as you can guarantee this, I can persuade the Federation to help you annex the other two countries. The Mughal harass the Federal border all the year round, and the Federation has long been a thought of extinction; as for the survival of the empire. The Federation does not care about its existence at all."
When the Peacock King was most unwilling, Su Mu's unsecured temptation was like a candy full of secrets.
Even if the Peacock King knew that it was baseless, he would still be coveted.
And when Su Mu saw that the seeds of greed had been planted, he suddenly changed his conversation and stopped describing the unfounded beauty. Instead, he asked the most practical question:
"The biggest problem with the kingdom at the moment is that the sacrificial society has been above the royal power for a long time. But now they have introduced the empire into the tomb of King Daming by themselves, but they have lost their sanctity in the hearts of the people for the first time. So if they are prepared to attack the sacrificial society If this is the case, now is undoubtedly the most suitable time."
On the riverside outside the city of Shelkas, the reason that Su Mu concealed his face and did not want to do more entanglement, in fact, did not mean that Su Mu did not have much confidence in his own strength.
In essence, it was just because Su Mu hadn't figured out how to fight back against the empire.
After all, the empire has forced Su Mu into the Ancestral Dragon Temple time and time again, expecting the cold and majestic dragon to directly cause Su Mu to disappear completely.
Since Su Mu had escaped the catastrophe of life and death, he naturally had to make the other party pay the corresponding price.
…
"After all, the royal capital is far enough away from the empire. Even if the imperial dragon cavalry has entered the royal capital, the empire will certainly not be able to provide reinforcements again in a short period of time."
"Furthermore, according to the information Maggie gave me, the strongest person in today's sacrificial society is just a high-character ninth-rank mage, and they don't have a big-character strong to sit in.
"In other words, as long as I am willing, I can completely destroy all the power of the sacrificial society and the empire. Let them have no influence in the Peacock King Capital."
Su Mu's guarantee, in terms of his current strength and realm, seemed a bit idiotic.
But he is Su Mu after all, the Su Mu who has repeatedly created miracles.
So no matter how exaggerated Su Mu's threats were, not only Maggie did not show any doubt, even the Peacock King could only believe what Su Mu said.
"What do you need from me?"
Finally, under Su Mu's little bit of persecution and violence, King Peacock finally gave up the last trace of self-confidence, and straightforwardly raised the core question.
Although Su Mu had already explained that what he wanted was the right to enter the tomb of King Daming.
However, everyone knew that Su Mu would of course not directly use those extreme thunderous methods for an empty guarantee.
So at this moment, seeing that the other party was already on the way, Su Mu finally showed a trace of relief.
Then, with a deep voice and holding his breath, he stated in an irreversible tone:
"In the future, the Peacock Nation will exist as an open ally of the Federation, and the resources in the Peacock country, including the tomb of King Daming, will be completely open to the Federation."
"In exchange for all this, the elite mages of the Peacock Nation can also enter the Northern Magic Academy, and the Federation will also give them the same high-quality magic education."
"Cooperation will benefit both, but if you don't cooperate... Then I've never been here before!" ()
