Chapter 1,613 The Helpless Choice
If you have carefully considered and planned, you can naturally state it to others with confidence. But when the words came out of his mouth, the strong flavor of Versailles in Lin's tone viciously stung the nobles of the two empires.
Lin said flatly: "The three-story tower I built is stronger than those five-story towers, so what's the point of building a five-story tower? This is not to help you save resources, but because I don't want to waste my life." matter."
After being snatched away for a while, I thought that the emperor of Haider would fall out. Unexpectedly, he acted extremely calmly, neither licking nor angry. He pretended not to hear the sarcasm in the words and said:
"Since your design is already well-founded, of course we laymen will not give random instructions. But to resist pressure from the outside, the support of one empire is completely different from the support of two empires. You can make things simpler. If you solve it, there is no need to make it more difficult for yourself. And you must know that there is an empire that will definitely hold objections."
Although I don’t want to pay attention to the other party’s proposal, which is so vague that it is worse than a piece of paper, the weight of an empire is indeed what the other party said, and it is different from those petty support.
However, it was expected that the other party could not bring up anything substantial, because the old emperor of Gwana had said almost everything he could say. I am not in the mood to continue bidding with the other party.
What if the other party still tries to ask for more when his attitude is so obvious. Then Lin would not hesitate to let these indifferent people see his own methods.
The threat has been made anyway, and not taking action when it's time to take action will only make the other party underestimate the threat in his mouth. The saying of trying to make the most of your money is not exclusive to my hometown, but is human nature.
So regarding Emperor Haider's speech, Lin came to a conclusion and said: "Everything you will get in the future depends on your attitude from now on. Take the power of choice back into your hands. I don't want to deal with such boring things anymore." .If there are empires that oppose it, I don’t mind letting the five empires become four, three, or even less.
"Don't even think about using your previous losses as bargaining chips. Remember, that was the ticket that allowed you to stand here today. And those casualties are not to please us, but to let you recognize the facts.
"If you are not satisfied with this situation, you can endure it, or you can choose to show it. I have said, what you get depends on what you pay. The rest is not important, let alone just talking about it."
After finishing speaking, Lin no longer gave anyone a chance to speak. Just snap his fingers and use the flash technique to send everyone back to the airship piloted by the Emperor of the Haider Empire.
In that conference room, because the meeting was a closed-door meeting from the beginning, no one was allowed to monitor the interior. So two emperors, eleven important ministers of the empire and a magician disappeared, and no one knew about it.
Now they are back, and so are the tables and chairs. It's just that the magician is missing, and everyone is standing instead of sitting still as before.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in confusion. It was as if what he had just experienced was just a daydream. But they knew that it couldn't be true anymore.
Among them, the most embarrassing person was no one else, but the old Mr. Kawei who initiated this meeting. Without the magician, this means that the Gwana Empire and the others have lost their greatest reliance and the most convenient way of movement.
Fortunately, the Gwana Empire was also the party that was washed away and did not take much advantage. At best, the subsequent negotiations were somewhat thorough in giving in. The two empires seemed to share the same concerns and would not get into a fight on such an occasion.
So he took the initiative to break the awkward silence and said: "Your Majesty, I might have to trouble you to instruct you to let the airship land on the ground and hand over the personnel."
At this time, the Haider Empire looked full of sadness from top to bottom. One of the important ministers, under the hint of his own emperor, said: "Your Majesty Alzania, I boldly ask, why do you have to make so many concessions to that magician?"
The old emperor did not feel dissatisfied. After stopping his ministers, he personally replied: "Then, my lord, do you think we have other chances?"
"In my opinion, we just need to find a way to get them out of the way. If the matter is solved by us alone, there may not be a better outcome. Not intervening at all, just watching and waiting, is not one of their options."
"So how do you think the Lords of the Abyss should be dealt with when they come to Lost Land?" the old emperor asked again.
"We don't have four powerful people who can compete with the Lord of the Abyss. Although the number is not as good as that of the devil, as long as we cooperate with the trap and are not afraid of sacrifice, we have a chance to win. And the sacrifice in front of us is for our future life. It makes sense not to be under the threat of those two magic towers for generations to come." Haider's minister emphasized.
In fact, many times, seizing benefits in negotiations is not really about money. But if you don't grab it yourself, if the thing falls into the hands of others, it will be a disaster for thousands of years, so you have to grab it.
The old emperor stretched out four fingers and said bluntly: "The premise is that those four will be willing to continue fighting."
"What do you mean..." he asked. A ridiculous answer came to everyone's mind.
Old Kawei Gong on the side revealed the mystery and said: "Those four are also the magician's people. If he really chooses to withdraw his hand, the possibility of those four staying to fight is almost non-existent."
The old Mr. Kawei only reported the details of the four weirdos with different names to his own emperor. Even the important ministers of the Gwana Empire didn't know this. So now their expressions are as disbelieving as those on the Haider Empire side.
However, the people of the Haider Empire were unwilling to give up and said, "Can't we bribe those four? What the empire can give a magician? As long as we provide higher and better rewards, their kind Are strong men really unwilling to change their families even if they die? I remember there are three of them, they may be people from the Kingdom of Silk. Do you know their backgrounds?"
When it comes to the Kingdom of Silk, the Haider Empire's intention to use threats and inducements is very obvious.
But the old Mr. Kawei shook his head with great regret and said: "The prerequisite for bribery is that the other party is a human being. I can assure you, sir, that there are no people from the Kingdom of Silk among them. That appearance is all disguised."
"What do you mean? They are not human beings, so what are they?" someone from the Haider Empire asked.
Old Mr. Kawei revealed the answer to the mystery in public and said: "They are Hakiri."
This answer left everyone confused for a moment. Everyone looked at each other. After a while, a group of people gestured at their waists and made slashing movements with swords, asking: "Is this the Hakiri I understand?"
Old Kawei Gong nodded and said: "Yes, it is the weapon that claims to be able to kill gods, but will actually drive the wielder crazy."
The details of the Haggiri clan are not very clear to ordinary people, so they pursue them crazily. How could these people at the top of their power not know the pros and cons.
With their energy, they would not be able to collect any magical weapons they wanted to collect. But the only reason why Haggiri cannot become a weapon they carry, or allow the guards around them to all wear, is that it drives people crazy, which no one can accept.
But such a weapon...will appear in human form!
An important minister from the Gwana Empire said unconsciously: "How is this possible? Isn't Hakakiri just a weapon?"
Old Kawei Gong spread his hands and said: "Yes. The method of bribery is nothing more than threats and inducements. Anyone who can fight against the Abyss Lord, unless he has a family, is not a person who can be threatened by the empire."
"As for inducements, we must first know their desires, whether they like money, power or women, before we can give them appropriate bargaining chips. We don't even know how the Haggiri clan became human, so do we expect them to have the same desires as humans? In this case, how are you going to buy them off?"
On the side of the Haider Empire, an important official said: "We can ask people from the Holy Sword Society to take action. Didn't they claim that all Haikiri should be properly kept in the hands of the right people. Being controlled by a magician does not count as the right person." "
At this time, it was the Haidel Empire’s own people who came forward to refute. Someone's old acquaintance, Count Guha, said with a wry smile: "We can no longer do this."
Everyone was puzzled. Count Guha then spoke eloquently.
Ever since he took people to see the magician more than ten years ago, among the people in the Kingdom of Silk, there were actually people from the Holy Sword Society who attacked the magician at that time. Count Guha has been paying attention to this very secretive organization.
On the one hand, they want to know the whereabouts of the people of the Holy Sword Society. He didn't want to go on a mission again, only to be disrupted by undercover people from other organizations.
At that time, if no one from the Holy Sword Society had fallen out with the magician directly, perhaps there would be no need to take the detours needed to obtain the magic silk technology. Then as someone who showed up, the family behind Earl Guha could benefit from this matter.
But the final result was an unhappy ending. Count Guha, as a rising star in the political arena of the Haider Empire at that time, had a grudge against the secret organization of the Holy Sword Society. I think it was this ungrateful organization that disrupted the good situation.
On the other hand, he had the idea of diverting trouble to the east, and wanted to lure people from the Holy Sword Club to harass the magician. And this purpose was also successful in the following years. But... the result was different from what he imagined.
The Holy Sword Society is actually controlled by seventeen ancient families, and has an unknown number of peripheral members. At that time, a certain samurai from the Kingdom of Silk was a peripheral member. Their common feature is that the official members of the Holy Sword Club are all strong men above a certain level.
Moreover, Count Guha's intelligence network showed that the Holy Sword Society had suffered a heavy loss and was desperately trying to find the whereabouts of the Hakiri weapons. So he naturally spread the information about a certain magician holding Hakiri, concealing the source.
Just as he expected, the people from the Holy Sword Club went to capture Hakiri. And they all came out in full force this time. It was said that not one of the seventeen families was absent, and some families even came out in full force. Then...all the news was lost.
The ending of the Holy Sword Club is the same as that of countless top assassins who accepted assassination bounties but were never heard from again. No one thinks that they are still alive in this world, and no one thinks that they have caused the magician a little trouble, even if they made him lose a hair.
That is not an existence that mortals can fight against.
When this group of people at the pinnacle of power in the Mysterious Land also admitted this fact. The situation in Lost Land is also quietly changing.
