The next day, Shia met with two envoys from the Shadow Empire in the meeting hall.
Yesterday was originally the last day of the seven-day deadline given by Catherine, and it was also the day when Shia and Cafu agreed to start negotiations. However, after seeing newspapers and magic TV, Cafu temporarily changed his strategy and used the excuse of Celine.
During the incident at Princess Villa, his mental state failed to recover and he needed to rest for a day, which delayed the negotiation time.
In fact, Cafu used the communication talisman to get in touch with Catherine, and after receiving new instructions, he brought the "recovered" Celine to the palace.
In the middle of the meeting hall is a long white table. Shia is sitting on the throne directly in front of the table. There are several chairs on both sides. On the left side, Disiyaro, Stiller and others are sitting, and on the right side there is nothing.
One person is obviously a place reserved for two special envoys.
Kafu and Celine bowed to Shia. Shia raised her hand and told them to sit down on the right side. She said, "Miss Celine, what happened the day before yesterday shocked you. It has been verified that the hijacking incident was caused by a senior family.
It was planned by the Mishan family, and the Mishan family is a spy of the Blood Evil Empire. The true identity of the patriarch Angele is the Blood Evil Marquis, who has been lurking in the Fallen Angel Empire for many years. He had never discovered it before due to Obsidian's incompetence. This time Angele
Lie's purpose in planning the kidnapping incident is obvious. He wants to sabotage the peace talks, sow discord between our two countries, and let the Blood Evil Empire benefit from it. I have killed the entire Mishan family as quickly as possible. The last time I offended Miss Celine
Rosenbol was also deprived of all his strength and accepted a life sentence that was worse than death. I hope General Cafu and Miss Celine will be satisfied with this treatment."
It is indeed a very severe punishment to kill off the entire family of a big senatorial family and turn the heir of another senior family into (ostensibly) a cripple and imprison him for the rest of his life, worse than death.
However, everyone in the Fallen Angel Empire knew what was going on, especially Stiller, who was deeply moved. Her Majesty’s emphasis was to place the blame on the Mishan family. On the surface, Rosen’s treatment seemed
It was tragic, but it was Stiller who did it himself. In order for Laura to spare his life, it was completely different from the special envoy.
This is the benefit of taking sides. If you don't surrender to the Queen, I'm afraid not only Rosen himself, but the entire Bol family will be in trouble this time.
Kafu glanced at Celine, who immediately stood up and smiled like a spring breeze: "I have said that your Majesty is the master and I am just a guest. No matter what your Majesty does, I have no objection. I would like to express my special thanks to your Majesty for your concern."
and help.”
Shia nodded: "Now that we have understood the conspiracy of the Blood Evil Empire, we should unite as one, truly show sincerity in cooperation, establish a mutually beneficial, good-neighborly and friendly relationship, and move towards prosperity together."
Kafu said**: "Your Majesty is right. Following the order of Emperor Catherine, we traveled thousands of miles to the Fallen Angel Capital with our sincere friendship in order to further promote bilateral relations and development."
Both sides spoke very well, but they all knew that the so-called friendship was just a nice shell, and that between countries, at their core, there was a naked interest relationship.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If it were not for the powerful Blood Evil Empire, the Shadow Empire would have annexed the Fallen Angel Empire long ago. The Fallen Angel Empire also used this most important point to deal with it. Just like when the White Night Emperor was in power, Catherine was in the Blood Empire.
The Evil and the Fallen Angels are trying to survive in the gap between the two countries.
The game relationship between the three countries is somewhat similar to Chen Rui's memory of the Three Kingdoms era in the late Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is quite subtle.
Over the years, the strong and the weak have waxed and waned, but they have always stood firm. It is still unknown which of the three empires will perish first, and which one will have the last laugh.
After the scene is finished, all that's left is to throw away the shell of hypocrisy and it's time for Chi Guoguo to negotiate his interests.
Nowadays, Shia has used clever tricks and grace to overwhelm the senatorial family and the royal family, greatly strengthening her control over the empire. Kathleen's original plan has failed, but Kafu's attitude is still very tough, proposing the Shadow Empire
Garrisoned in Dark Moon, sharing secret recipes for land improvement, and a series of harsh conditions including "talent exchange" including Dark Moon Financial Officer Chen Rui.
At first glance, these conditions sound unbearable, and I almost have the urge to beat up Cafu. However, Disjak, Stiller and others here are also veterans of negotiation, so they are not impatient.
The strategy of slow work and fine grinding was adopted to neutralize Cafu's offensive bit by bit.
In fact, both parties in the negotiation have a minimum price, and on this basis, they will pay the high price and pay the money on the spot. After fierce negotiations, Cafu finally relaxed, and the issue of Dark Moon garrison can be discussed again, land improvement and battle balls can be further negotiated.
For requirements such as formulas, we can also consider changing to an alternative method... However, there is one "talent exchange" that we will never let go of, and that is that it must be Chen Rui.
Judging from the current situation, the attitude of the Shadow Empire has been greatly eased. This is a good start. However, if the Fallen Angel Empire is weaker than its opponent, it must make certain concessions and sacrifice some people or interests. If
Handing over Chen Rui can be the key to promoting an agreement between the two countries, so it is definitely worth it.
The heads of negotiations, Disjac and Stiller, turned their attention to Her Majesty the Queen. However, Her Majesty's expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of movement. They had no choice but to avoid the most important issues and did not give a formal reply.
One side was naturally very dissatisfied, and some parties that had been reticent began to press harder. After several hours of verbal bickering, the two sides did not reach any substantive treaty.
It was already noon, and Shia arranged for Cafu and Celine to have a meal and rest, while the negotiating team of the Fallen Angel Empire stayed behind.
Disyak said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I think you can consider agreeing to the talent exchange request of the Shadow Empire. Although Chen Rui is a rare internal affairs talent and has made great contributions to the prosperity of Dark Moon, your Majesty has now ascended the throne.
, the focus should be on the overall situation, rather than a dark moon territory, so it is necessary to make some sacrifices.
Stiller and others also agreed, but Shia rejected the proposal with one sentence: "You can use a large amount of soil crystals to replace the soil improvement formula, you can also give up the battle ball formula, and you can even share the magic TV technology, but
Chen Rui cannot give in at all on this matter!"
This resolute attitude made Disiyaro and others look at each other in shock: How could a mere human being have such weight in the heart of Her Majesty the Queen? More important than the battle ball and the secret recipe of the magic TV?
In the past, some representatives of the elder families would have jumped out and argued fiercely, but now they did not dare to say anything, but Stiller asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, have you considered the Dark Moon Acting Lord Assi?"
Na's side..."——~~~
"It's not Athena's problem." Shia looked at the confused people: "There are no outsiders here, so I will reveal something to you. Think about battle balls, magic water conservancy systems, strong-flavor rice wine...including newspapers and
Has magic TV ever appeared in the devil world?"
Everyone shook their heads. These are unprecedented new things. A few quick-thinking people had already reacted with shock on their faces. Disyak couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty means these are..."
"Yes," Shia nodded: "These new things have his shadow in every one of them. The magic TV, the battle ball, the magic water conservancy system and other creative ideas were inspired by him during the dark moon. Master Feng Saka and Da Da
The newspaper inspired by the development was a plan he proposed some time ago, and the formula for the strong-flavor rice wine was also provided by Chen Rui!"
Everyone looked shocked in unison. They didn't expect this human's talent to reach such a level. They finally understood why Shia wouldn't let up on this matter.
Teaching a man to fish and teaching him to fish are completely different concepts. How could such an incredible talent be lost to other countries?
Shia said solemnly: "Everyone, remember, things about Chen Rui are top secrets, and there must be no leaks!"
Everyone nodded in unison. In fact, Her Majesty the Queen has one of her biggest secrets that she has yet to reveal - this human being is the future Royal Highness, and is also the only man Her Majesty the Queen has fallen in love with since the eldest princess. How could she give it to others?
Chen Rui didn't know that he had become a hot "short commodity" in the negotiations. At this moment, he was taking Isabella to discuss the Seal of Light with Laura in Rainbow Valley.
"Space magic is not as simple as you think." Laura shook her head after asking Chen Rui about his intention to go to the human world: "Those human magicians should have created a fixed facility after countless experiments.
, used to detect the material with spatial coordinate attributes where the demon world is located, and then use the approximate position coordinates of this coordinate to initiate random teleportation across space. This kind of teleportation is quite dangerous, and is likely to fall into space turbulence and be wiped out. I am now
There is no such facility, and even if there were, it would take several months to detect and test the spatial coordinates of the human world, plus debugging machines and teleportation tests... it would take at least several years..."
Chen Rui felt as if a ladle of cold water had poured down from his head, and he suddenly became colder: "Then is there any other way to go to the human world?"
"There is a secret technique of summoning in the human world. It uses a special magic circle to summon creatures from different spaces and signs a contract with both parties willingly. In this case, safe transmission in space should be achieved, but generally those with lower strength are summoned.
Demons are very difficult to encounter due to a considerable amount of luck involved. Obviously this method is not suitable for the current situation."
"Is there any way you can suppress the Seal of Light?"
"If it were the early stage of the curse seal, I might be able to use dark elements to neutralize or peel it off, but after two hundred years, the curse seal has penetrated deep into the soul. If it is removed by force, it will also obliterate the host's soul." Laura thought about it.
I thought, "Now I can only moderately alleviate the pain of this curse mark attack, but I can't prolong the time of the final outbreak. I'll let Yi Ni stay here to do some tests later."
Laura's answer made Chen Rui feel heavy: "Isabella, you stay here, I will go to the dark moon now. The earth element king should be on his way to the dark moon."
Isabella smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."
The two women watched Chen Rui disappear through the portal in Rainbow Valley. Laura pondered for a moment and asked, "Why don't you let me tell him that there is another way to reach the human world?"
Isabella asked back: "That method... are you sure about it?"
Laura shook her head: "No, if you directly break through the space, the danger is much greater than human teleportation. Even I myself may fall into the space turbulence. I believe that even a demigod-level expert would not dare to do so easily."
try."
"You should understand him. If there is no other way, he will definitely try it," Isabella shrugged: "Then, as a woman, are you willing to watch the man you love risk his life for another woman?
Danger?"
Isabella met Laura when she came to the Dark Moon to "rescue" her best friend Cloberus, and the two got along very well. This time before coming to Rainbow Valley with Laura, Isabella went out of her way to
In front of Chen Ruizhi, he asked Laura about the way to go to the human world, so he asked Laura to keep the last method secret.
"Of course not."
Laura answered without hesitation, pondered for a moment, and then added: "However, if he is not a caring man, he cannot be my man."
Isabella was slightly startled, and looked at Laura with a strange color in her eyes: "Really? I suddenly and inexplicably thought of something he said that I couldn't understand - when the Nazis came to arrest the Nazis
When they came for the Jews, I kept silent because I was not a Jew. When they came for the trade unionists, I kept silent because I was not a trade unionist.
; When they came to arrest the Catholics, I remained silent because I was a Protestant; when they came to arrest me, there was no one to speak for me. Do you mean... this?"
"What?" Laura frowned, not pretending to be stupid: "Why haven't I heard this?
"Does he say something different to every woman? My sister Laura, it seems that you have to take some time to train this guy." Isabella smiled sweetly: "But before that, I still want to help
I'll try to get that Light Oblivion Seal, I'm afraid of the pain."
"Oh," Laura responded blankly: "I suddenly really want to listen to a song. What is it called..."End of the World" according to Shia?"
This was the first time Isabella encountered the sinister nature of a pseudo-natured lady, and she couldn't help but be startled: "No problem."
"By the way, I heard Olifes say, it seems... he often drinks a drink at your place, and he drinks it for several hours."
"drinks?"
"What?"
"That's called tea. It tastes a bit bitter, so you might not be used to it.
"What?"
"Okay...I'll make it for you to drink..."
"oh."
