After thinking about the joints quickly, Soshiyang said to Old Walker in a very serious tone:
"Thank you very much for telling me about this, Sect Master Walker, you are the best friend of Orod and the good friend of the Alexei family. Naturally, I am my elder. The Eternal Court will regard you as a guest of honor and open the door to you. If you need my help in the future, you can enter the court at any time."
Old Walker smiled and knocked on the ashes and said sadly:
"As people get older, many things will fade away. Although I drink the spring of Age, I will still age, and this feeling becomes stronger and stronger. Maybe it won't take long to return to my ancestors' arms... What I said to you is just a nagging of an old man. Orod is a legend. It's a pity that even his descendants don't know about his story. I'm actually very glad to find you before returning to his ancestors. Soshyan, I hope that Orod's affairs can give you some inspiration. I can see that the double identity brings you a lot of pressure and trouble. The test you face is much more severe than Orod, but as Orod said, sometimes you don't need to care too much about your race. You are you, just do what you think is right. The Milky Way is very cold and dark, but there are friendships beyond races, justice and axioms."
Soshiyang nodded.
"I must remember it in my heart, Master Walker... Speaking of which, I discovered the spiritual bone secret room left by Orod in the family cemetery. He left some images inside, but none of you mentioned you, otherwise I should have talked to you."
Walker laughed and said helplessly:
"He is this kind of character, he has a tricky and vicious mouth, but he has a lot of feelings in his heart. He doesn't want to get me into his affairs anymore. In fact, I didn't want to go back to my heart so much. He kept encouraging me to leave and said that I was hindering his love... I guessed it later. At that time, he might have discovered or felt something, just wanted me to leave these right and wrong related to him."
After saying that, Old Walker fell into silence and just slowly smoked, but Soshyan could see the regret on his face.
Perhaps it is the guilt of this old man who lets his close friend face life and death alone...
Then Soshiyang wanted to use some things to change the topic. After pondering for a while, he said slowly:
"Previously proposed by representatives of the Great Soruian League..."
Old Walker waved his hand hard, pulled the cigarette mouth out of his mouth and coughed while saying:
"Ahem... these things... you don't need to care about me, and I never care about the business affairs of the alliance, but I can guess that the essence of business is to ask for a lot of prices and pay the money on the spot. Just talk according to your own ideas."
Soshyan put his hand on the table and his body slightly tilted towards Old Walker.
"Sect Master Walker, what conditions would be needed if I wanted the Royal Court and the Iron Family to reach a real alliance?"
Old Walker seemed to know that he would lift this, picked up the cigarette holder and smoked it, but then he found that there were no tobacco leaves in the pipe, so he fumbled on it for a few times and took out a small blue bag with a symbol embroidered on it.
Opening the bag and twisting some tobacco from it, Old Walker lowered his head and tinked his pipe while answering calmly:
"... Tens of thousands of years after the ancestors left the Earth's home planet, the Wotan race has maintained the independent structure of each alliance. Therefore, Wotan is not an empire, we do not have a unified country, or each alliance is a country, and the clans within the alliance are small countries, which is what humans used to be."
"There are really humans, too?"
“In a sense, yes.”
After pressing the tobacco, Old Walker put his right index finger into the pipe, and then a stream of blue smoke came out from it. He took a light breath and a stream of cigarette came out of the corner of his mouth.
"But it's meaningless. The human empire, which has become stubborn and pathological and full of paranoid victimization, will not accept it. The Wotans, who have witnessed the empire's many atrocities and massacres of other human civilizations during the Great Crusade, will not accept it."
"So what if the Royal Court wants to establish a real ally with the Great Soruian Alliance?"
"For a businessman, the first rule is to never participate in wars in person. It is one thing to provide military services, and it is another thing to participate in wars as political entities... No Wotan alliance will get into wars of other races, and of course if it is employed, it is another concept."
"What if my enemies hired the furnace to deal with me?"
Old Walker raised his eyebrows and then smiled:
"They are mostly not as rich as you, and the creeps will not cooperate with the evil demons of the supreme heaven. The scum of Comoros has no credit or business ethics, and has long been on the blacklist of major alliances... Ada's trade is profitable, and no alliance will be willing to engage in evil with the royal court."
"What if I wanted to hire a large number of Iron Groups at once?"
“How much is the mass?”
Soshiyang narrowed his eyes and said with a sense of confidence:
"All the Iron Group of the Great Soruian Alliance!"
"Wow..."
Old Walker exclaimed, smash the cigarette mouth.
"This is nearly 300,000 Furen and Iron Man, and all they need is wealth that will scatter."
"Money, not the problem, the point is, can I get it if I need it?"
After a moment of silence, Old Walker replied in a slightly dry voice:
"It's OK...but it may be more than just a matter of money."
Soshiyang smiled slightly.
"I know, if I really need it, I will come up with a condition that the alliance cannot refuse... Then if I say this, other alliances can also provide the royal court with an Iron Group?"
"Commerce and trade are free, this is the second article of the ancestor's contract."
"I understand. Thank you, Sect Master Walker. Please stay in the royal court for a while, so that I can do my best to be a landlord."
After saying that, Soshiyan got up and wanted to invite someone to arrange a residence in the palace for Old Walker, but suddenly he remembered a question and sat down again.
"Sect Master Walker, speaking of it... Since Orod had made so many troubles in Comoros, why didn't I hear this name when I went to Comoros? Was it forgotten because it was too long?"
"This is only part of it, mainly because he proposed before entering Comoros that in order to prevent trouble in the future, we should use a pseudonym."
"So that's it, then what's his pseudonym?"
Old Walker exhaled a puff of smoke, forming the outline of a phoenix spreading its wings in the air.
"In human language, his name is Phoenix, and in Ida it is... Phoenix."
"Phoenix..."
Soshiyang blinked.
"What about you?"
"I..."
Old Walker coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, then breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face.
"The pseudonym I gave myself...Gautrick."
Then he suddenly slapped his head.
"Oh, after saying so much, I forgot about the serious matter. Look at how old people are, it's useless..."
As he said that, he held a pipe in his mouth, groped back and forth with his hands, and then took out a collar from somewhere, and then a well-preserved piece of spiritual bone, putting these two things on the table.
Soshiyan picked it up and looked at it curiously, and found that the collar seemed to be made of some kind of animal leather, nothing special, but there was a name on it - Victor.
"Victe..."
Soshiyang frowned and looked at the Luna.
"It won't be... the one I think of?"
The old Lun nodded.
Chapter completed!
