Chapter 519: Big News
Negotiation or something, Rorschach is not good at it.
"Honest, he can't learn the deceit on the trading floor, and this is simply a terminal illness in political negotiations."
But if the negotiation scene is not limited to a negotiating table full of lies and fraud, but when both sides seek alliance and cooperation in relative sincerity, "honesty" can become an artifact that omits many steps.
Prince Sean is the heir to a remote clan in a kingdom in the Northlands, and the name of that kingdom Rorschach himself has never heard of, but judging from the attitude of other people, he should be regarded as an important member of the Lan Alliance.
The prince was a typical native, tall and large, wearing the soft armor of a lion and tiger in a bearskin scarf, with a golden axe around his waist, and thick hair, like a roaring barbarian in the north.
However, Rorschach noticed that the bearskin scarf was inlaid with decorative gemstones, and the axe did not even have a sharp edge, let alone an axe blade that did not smell of blood at all.
The muscles that leaked from the soft armor were strong, but not as muscular as the real barbarians....... Hideous, and those big hands without scars and marks are not what a warrior should have.
Although he could probably use a smile in the middle of the night to scare a group of sisters-in-law into handing over their wallets, when Rorschach knew that he was just a standard literary teenager who loved history and piano........ Well, that's right, he was only sixteen years old, and with a height of more than two meters when he looked up, Rorschach almost burst into tears with envy.
If you remove this burly figure and standard barbarian dress, and ignore the full beard and thick eyebrows, he still has long straight eyebrows and clear eyes, and when he saw Rorschach, he was still shy, blushing for a long time pinching his little finger and couldn't speak, lowering his head and only looking down at the corner of his eye, he was really a standard introverted teenager....... It's just that picture, Rorschach thinks it's a little too beautiful and doesn't want to look at it, and isn't it a little strange to look down, why do you look down when you lower your head! Normal introverted teenagers don't dare to look at people, shouldn't they lower their heads and look up!
Inexplicably, as soon as they met, Rorschach's heart was a little violent.
Dressing up like this to participate in such a meeting is not that the prince is role-playing or not paying attention to anything, on the contrary, it is the official dress of their clan, which is only worn during sacrifices, annual meetings, and worship of the suzerain.
Of course, animal skins are still animal skins, and the golden axes that symbolize power are still flying axes, but they are probably not the same thing at all as before.
This mage apprentice is only sixteen years old this year, and he has already stepped on the threshold of the third order, not the recent stormy news, he can be promoted at any time, considering that there are really not many mages there, he can be called a magical genius in the barbarian race....... Well, that's right, this young man, who is very savage in both appearance and dress, is a 100% mage, and the most traditional and standard kind.
"I didn't learn martial arts, but when they knew I had a talent for magic, they gave me twelve mentors, and they didn't even give me anything heavier than a broomstick. ”
"Personally, I admire Maestro Shoboan's Midnight Sonata, oh, that's not magic, it's piano music, in fact I just passed the piano grade 12 two days ago, and becoming a pianist is one of my goals. ”
Looking at the slender and nimble fingers, which were much better maintained than most girls, Rorschach fell into deep thought again, what did the magic of time do to the barbarians.
The talent of honesty gave Rorschach complete feedback, and if the "boy" in front of him was not strong enough to look forward to the incarnation of the big guy who had the talent of honesty, then he was really a pure academic mage, not good at actual combat and did not like to fight, and was a pure pacifist and anti-war celebrity........ Hearing this, Rorschach was a little crazy, did the barbarians who didn't like to fight really fit the racial character.
And soon, Rorschach corrected his mentality, it was just that the times were different, and the barbarians did not have to participate in the war, and the living conditions became better and naturally became peaceful.
The real wizarding world is realistic and cruel, and it's completely different from the legendary story, so destroy the setting and destroy it, anyway, it's not the first time, and I'm used to it....... Rorschach feels that with his worldview, there are probably a few disciplines and persistence.
At the very least, he can now laugh and chat with Prince Sean and then make small talk with him about history, music, literature, news...... Rorschach found that he was far inferior to the other party in this literary and historical attainment, and Prince Sean could even improvise a sonnegram in ancient English of the earth!
“....... It's a shame that you should become a mage, you should be a scholar and a musician. ”
Well, Rorschach's mouth is enough to cause a "mockery" of a war, and the faces of the entourage behind him changed in an instant, this sentence can be big or small, and the expansion can be understood as an insult to the heir of a country.
"Really!, by the way, you're honest, and I think I'm better suited to be a writer or a musician, and I can paint my own story scores, and maybe make a name for myself, but they all forced me to be a mage....... Ahem, Your Highness Rorschach, thank you for your compliment, I have also read your masterpieces in the press repeatedly, and they are very richly written, but there are a lot of typos, probably still a little urgent, I will say to you......."
The eyes of the entourage behind him made Prince Sean a little serious, but as he spoke, he digressed again, and began to analyze the importance of typesetting and correction to media news.
Rorschach had a headache, and he didn't even think it was a wise choice to meet the other party.
Rorschach didn't hate the barbarian prince in front of him, and even liked this peace-loving and literary teenager a little, but there was war and real troubles in front of him, so was it meaningful to talk to him.
"Ahem, Your Highness Sean, don't you have something to say to His Highness Rorschach. ”
In the end, even Harwood, who was an introducer and a bystander, couldn't stand it anymore and could only interject.
"Oh, by the way, Lord Rorschach, you should know that the Lanmeng may disintegrate. ”
As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a big news that could shock the world.
