Chapter 3, the first to throw a hand

Hei Thirteen stood alone by the pillar in the room, rubbing his index finger, feeling the silence and depression in the room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

[I can finally understand the purpose of postponing dinner.] 】

On the sofa, Crucius Calustein broke the silence with an expression of understanding on his face.

To be honest, little Phyllis was at first suspicious of what had happened to make such a weak and ignorant man look like a completely different person in a short period of time. 】

Although his tone was light, he didn't seem to careβ€”but Phyllis didn't care. Just from that appearance, he is full of vigilance and the spirit of being able to protect and dedicate himself to the protection of those around him at any time.

And Viruhyrum was silent on the left side, without saying a word, and there was no temperature when he wore a sword at his waist and met the eyes of Black Thirteen again. Now he exists not as a person, but as a sword of Kruxiu.

[It's a little unpleasant to come back just after leaving.] I look forward to Mr. Lai Yueyue being able to come up with something that makes us feel valuable. So said Russell Fellow, the representative of the dark-haired blonde business group that had great influence in the royal capital.

【Mr. Copper Smell...... Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Russell, Rem went to call another person, so please wait a little longer. Black Thirteen said with a nose picked.

A few minutes later, the door to the reception room was opened and a young girl, Rem, appeared.

[Okay.] 】

Rem stretched out his thumb and blinked, and then walked to the voice of Black Thirteen.

[It's going to be late, but I'll be back.] 】

Black Thirteen nodded, then the time was almost ripe. But it's a little exciting to think about.

[Although the last one will arrive a little late, but everyone who should be there is still there.] So, let's get started.

Under Black Thirteen's declaration, the atmosphere of the room changed instantly.

Phyllis stood slightly in front of him than before, almost blocking Kruxiu's face, while Viruhyrum stood still on the left, but his gaze never took off Black Thirteen for a second. Russell, on the other hand, slowly sank into his chair. Looking at these reactions, the corners of Hei Thirteen's mouth smiledβ€”a good reaction.

[Say the purpose of this rally, from your mouth.] Kruxiu said with a finger up, then raised his hand on his elbow and propped up his cheek to look at Black Thirteen. This person who originally didn't care about himself is now a person who he can't understand.

Black Thirteen faced Cruxiu and took a deep breath and said, "The conditions of the Emilian lineup and the Cruxiu camp are equal allies, and they want to negotiate for this............]

――――――――――

The biggest problem facing Black Thirteen.

Petyrcius and his men of the Witch Cult will kill all the people in the village if they don't care. But the main force will definitely not be able to defeat the opposite side, because the strongest combat force is not there at that time, so this battle is inevitable, at least it must be forced back.

[Alliance?]

Kruxiu lowered his head in thought, then glanced in Rem's direction. Quietly perceiving the meaning of that look, Rem shook his head slowly.

[At the behest of Lord Lozwo, Rem said nothing. It's all the Pleiades, the answer you get yourself. Rem looked at Kruxiu with a determined gaze.

It's not that I'm doubting your loyalty. After accepting the facts, Cruxiu expressed his understanding.

[So...... The authority to take charge of this negotiation has been appointed from Rem to Laiyue Pleiades, right?]

After hearing this, Hei Thirteen smiled confidently.

[Ah~~ah~~ In this way, Lozvo can really do bad things,] exaggerated sighs.

Black Thirteen made a yes gesture in his heart.

Keep it secret from him, and as long as he himself is not aware of it, he can't take the initiative to tell the order.

[Naturally, I didn't think of it at the beginning, after all, it's true that our lineup is understaffed. But in this case, let Rem stay in the royal capital for no reason?

Kluxiu listened quietly, looking at what Black Thirteen seemed to be analyzing.

[But I can't think that Rozvo-Er will let go of Rem during this period, so there must be some essential inside information.] 】

[Naturally, I will think of the master who meets the most, right? It's really good......]

Cruxiu followed up on Black Thirteen's words and came to a conclusion.

[Regardless of the secret meeting between Rem and Klushech every night, you can understand what it is by thinking about it. 】

[Oh? Your Excellency really admires me. Kruxiu suddenly sat up straight and used the honorific title, and Phyllis on the side tried his best to show a pair of tiger teeth to deter the Black Thirteen, and the show was about to begin

――――――

an hour ago......

[Rem, that make-up freak in your family actually has some orders for you to follow me.] 】............

――――

The room erupted in applause.

[Nice reaction, to be honest, it is also her luck that Her Excellency Emilia can have a knight like you.] 】

I couldn't tell if it was praise or sarcasm at this point, and it wasn't until Russell, who was sitting in his chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and Black Thirteen glanced at him.

[About the contents of the nightly meeting to conclude an alliance.] The conditions we gave on our side have probably been asked from Rehm's side. 】

[The magic ore of the Great Forest of Eliol, the transfer of the right to collect is the main trading material, there is no need to hide it, Kluxiu easily blew up the atmosphere specially created by the Black Thirteen.

At this time, the only businessman present who heard this and his eyes lit up.

[Oops~ This is really hard to pretend not to hear, two!] Russell, who has been silent, can understand that he can show joy just from his tone.

[The right to collect magic ore, thinking that in recent years, the improvement of magic stone processing technology has become more and more valuable...... What's more, this is especially true if that place has never been done before......],

[So, is this a condition that can make Mr. Russell happy?]

"Of course!] It was as if no one around had amplified their voices.

[There is a deal with Kararaki, which is excellent in the processing of magic stones, and the craftsmanship of magic stone processing in our country is also increasing year by year, and the benefits of it can be glimpsed in the streets and alleys recently. Magic ore is simply more the merrier right now. So far, it has mostly relied on trading with Gustico to the north, so if there is a topic of buying mines with big profits, it is definitely welcome!] Black Thirteen smiled and looked at Russell Lang Lang in response to his reply.

[Magic ore contains magic power and is a pure magic crystal. Properties are influenced by the land and are also very dependent on the skill of the craftsman. On the other hand, highly skilled craftsmen can perform a variety of processing depending on the application and make full use of it. If you use it correctly, you can rely on it for years to last. The charm of this as a product is self-evident、】

[It's just that there are too few craftsmen who process magic ore.] Once the magic stone has been processed by means, even if it is restarted, it will not work. As it stands, most of the gathering grounds are managed by the kingdom, and most of the magic ore is run for public use. Even if there is an inflow into the market, it is only a very small part. 】

For Russell Cruxiu, who was immediately a little away from the magic ore, coldly held up the bad part. But Russell was also undecouraged and said, "Because of this, you can't seize the undeveloped collection field. Generations of Counts of the Merthers Frontier have a track record of making money from undiscovered veins in mining. This is also guaranteed by the knight who is a candidate for the king's election, Lord Emilia, and his credibility and credibility are very high. 】

Knowing that 'Lai Yueyue' challenged Julius in the training ground of the royal capital before, he still asserted that he would ensure the credibility and authenticity of this paragraph, and did not forget to mention the right to collect, so he seemed determined that he would not let go.

Of course he won't let go, that's how Black Thirteen thinks about it, since he thinks about pulling him into the gang, he naturally has to spend some blood, anyway, the last person to pay the money is the Lord of Merthers, Baron Rozvo-er, who is not there at the critical time.

[A little bit of a sweet topic...... However, Mr. Russell was called mainly because it was related to the main topic later. Black Thirteen estimated that the bottom line was touched, and it was almost time to move on to the next step.

Russell's glasses are about to shine gold.

Cruxiu, who had only been at the meeting so far, slowly looked at Black Thirteen, as if he could see through what was going on in his head.

[Then agree with you, Laiyue. The Pleiades were used as Merses' agent and the official emissary sent by Elymia. The conversation between me and me will be a direct meeting between Emilia and me. 】

As soon as the words came out, Hei Thirteen felt a pressure rushing over, it seems that this Lai Yueyue suffered losses before in vain, if he hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid he would have suffered here. is worthy of being a duke, and this kind of posture of a heroine close to the throne is really unbearable for ordinary people.

[Actually, the conditions just now are still not enough? There is no excessive interference between the mutual camps, and the distribution of mining rights in the Great Forest of Elliol ......]

[I've already asked Rem to bring up the details of the mining, and it's really worthy of being the Earl of the Frontier of Merthers.] On the basis of the complete guarantee of the interests of their own camp, they also put forward favorable conditions that can be accepted by the leaders. 】

Of course, if the details of the mining are not confirmed, if it becomes something like this, or something like that, or something like that, if it becomes a problem with the credit, then there will be a vicious chain effect on the side of Elymia in the long run.

After all......

[The opposing candidate of the king's choice, not to mention the silver-haired half-elf, has to be properly dealt with after considering that it will be slandered. Cruxiu whispered.

Hearing this, the black thirteen frowned, remembering that 'Lai Yue Pleiades' herself fell into this trouble for her, and she took possession of 'Lai Yue Pleiades'' body, and now being said ill of Emilia to her face is naturally a cold look.

[That's not a funny statement at all, Crushian...... Excellency. Black Thirteen lowered his head and squinted at Duke Crucius.

And at this time, a wave of anger came at him.

Phyllis also felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly said such a thing on an important negotiation occasion, don't you think meow?] For his careless speech, Phyllis, who had been silent, was angry with a smile on his face.

[Pleiades Ang, you have to understand a little bit. The value of a person...... It is determined by the state of the soul and the way it shines. Origin and circumstances are not the essence of that person. 】

Black Thirteen seemed to understand that he had misunderstood something, and nodded apologetically.

Emilia's current situation is indeed very embarrassing, and the pressure of the half-elf - this status is definitely not light, whether it is speech or anything else, it will not be a good thing in the end.

[As for the alliance, I don't reject the alliance because Emilia is a half-elf.] 】

[Rather, the existence of Elimia, who is not a policy hostile, can even be said to me to be an adversary who is not actively hostile.] Therefore, there is no need to be too stingy about the alliance. 】

[In other words...... Black Thirteen asked cautiously.
