vs 47 If you want me to take it, take it all!
This emperor is definitely not simple...... Harry secretly admired. It's no wonder that Natsuyanagi Oda, who was dumbfounded in the Free Empire, suddenly became so scheming, and he must have something to do with the emperor.
Ever since he came to Monrok Island, the Dark Temple has been lowering his posture and steadily letting the personnel of the Demon Temple gain the upper hand. With the convening of the joint meeting, the arrogance of the Demon Temple rose to its peak, and everyone thought that this time the alliance plan would definitely be passed, and the Demon Temple would definitely be able to overpower the Dark Temple in the future. It's a pity that when they were most proud, Oda Natsuyanagi refuted them fiercely with careful analysis. Even they themselves realized how foolish it was to ally with the Holy Light Empire.
After experiencing great ups and downs, the momentum of the people of the Demon Temple has long ceased to exist, and they suddenly fell back to the upper hand. I don't even support the plan I proposed...... It was a big enough blow. As the saying goes, the higher you fly, the heavier you fall.
Just when the Demon Temple was depressed, the Emperor came out to play a round and easily won the favor of the Demon Temple personnel. Although the Emperor's words could not completely eliminate the contradictions between the two palaces, they at least greatly increased the prestige of the Emperor and increased the Emperor's influence on the Demon Temple. But the emperor is the winner this time, and the emperor belongs to the side of the dark temple......
"Now that both the Holy Light Empire and the Freedom Empire have envoys in the Imperial Capital, we must be careful not to let them perceive our true purpose!" After enjoying everyone's cheers, the Emperor began to get down to business again.
"What does His Majesty the Emperor want us to do?" The elders of the Demon Hall had not yet recovered from the big 'stick' + sweet jujube offensive just now, and they had no idea in their hearts for a while.
"On the side of the Holy Light Empire, it has always been contacted by the Demon Temple. On the Liberty Empire's side, it was contacted by the Dark Temple. Now we can change the two sides of contact," the emperor said with a smile......
"The Dark Temple sent someone to tell the emissaries of the Holy Light Empire that the Demon Temple's proposal at the joint meeting had failed, and that the Dark Temple had refused to sign an alliance with them...... The attitude should be arrogant enough, and it is best to be able to anger them away. ”
"The envoy of the Free Empire...... Isn't he here to claim compensation? Just give him a favor! Forgive him alone, and how many treasures can he take? We can open the treasury to pick for him! The people of the Demon Temple can put on an uncooperative attitude and let him take things, but we will never send someone to help him transport them!"
"In short, we want to leave them with the impression that there is a constant infighting, no threat, and very stupidity! After the outbreak of war between the two countries...... That's when we rise!"
As if they had seen a bright future for the entire hall, the representatives of the main hall laughed triumphantly along with the emperor.
After a short time, the meeting finally ended. Harry stayed in the mezzanine until dark, then teleported to the sky under the cover of night, and hurried back to the inn.
If nothing else, Oda Natsuyanagi will visit him again tomorrow...... Now the Toyo Kingdom has set a strategy to pick the bargain, which is quite unfavorable to the Free Empire!
After all, Monrok Island is a nail buried near the Free Empire, and for the Holy Light Empire, they are nothing more than a little less help, but their own side must always be on guard against this nail jumping out and piercing people.
However, compared to their alliance with the Holy Light Empire, the situation still had to be eased. After all, if you send troops to conquer the Eastern Kingdom in advance, you will only benefit from the Holy Light Empire. Now, the Free Empire has at least a year and a half to figure out how to neutralize the threat from Monroc.
Harry wrote the incident down into a note and relayed it back to the Imperial Capital via spatial grabbing. It's better to 'hand' over to the professionals to do the nerve-wracking things! Presumably Nieland and Berner will have an idea.
Early the next morning, after resting all night, Harry received a response from the imperial capital: find a way to find out the situation of the demon god, and then make plans!
Yes, although the Oriental Kingdom is divided into the Dark Temple and the Demon Temple, the Demon God has the highest decision-making power over the two temples, and as long as the Demon God is dealt with, all problems will be solved...... Of course, it is definitely not an easy task to deal with the Demon God, at least, I still don't know anything about this Demon God.
And Oda Natsuyanagi really came to visit Harry today!
"What can the envoy have fun these days?" Oda Natsuyanagi still looked flattering, but now Harry looked completely 'treacherous'. For the Oriental Kingdom, as long as they entertain Harry well, send Harry back as soon as possible, and make a gesture that he is still subservient to the Free Empire, so that the Free Empire will not be wary of itself.
"Very good! very good!" Since you want to act, I'll play with you, Harry snorted in his heart, "It's just that I've been here for so many days, can this matter be worth the compensation?"
"The villain came today to talk to the adults about this!" Oda said with a flattering smile, "In this joint meeting, our Dark Temple has tried our best to stop the proposal of the Demon Temple and the Holy Light Empire's alliance. Of course, your country's strong strength is also an important bargaining chip to deter those old guys, after hearing about your country's incomparably strong military strength, even those old guys in the Demon Palace were stunned and speechless...... Therefore, in the future, the Oriental Kingdom will continue to concentrate on being a vassal state of your country. As for compensation...... The Demon Temple has also compromised, and what the adults need can be directly brought up to them. ”
Oda Natsuyanagi's words were half-true, and if Harry hadn't known the truth, he wouldn't have doubted it.
"That's a good feeling, are we going to visit the Demon Hall Elder now?" Harry pretended to be in a hurry, since he was nominally here to claim compensation, he had to act like a little bit.
"If the envoy needs it, you can leave immediately!"
"You go out and wait for me for two minutes, and we'll leave right away!" Harry waved his hand and handed another note to the imperial capital after Oda Natsuliu had gone out, before opening the 'door' and leaving.
"Your Excellency Envoy, although the Demon Temple is willing to compromise, it still seems that there is still some unwillingness, and I hope that your Excellency will not bother with them later!" If Harry hadn't overheard the contents of the joint meeting, he would definitely have thought that Oda was saying kind words. But now......
Actually, I'm not a very greedy person, as long as the meaning of compensation can express your sincerity. Harry said 'casually'.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Oda was secretly happy in his heart.
The two of them walked all the way into the palace and came to a heavily guarded place. There are ten level 9 heavenly ninjas inside and outside to protect in the shadows, and there are also ten level 9 demon warriors and dozens of level 8 demon warriors in the bright places. The object of their protection was a small low hall covering an area of about 400 square meters, and if Harry guessed correctly, this low hall must be the treasury of the palace.
The five elders that the Demon Temple had seen before were already standing here waiting, and there were five other elders that Harry hadn't seen but had heard of. The ten elders of the Demon Temple entertained Harry together, which shows how much the Oriental Kingdom 'attaches great importance' to the envoys of the Free Empire.
"Your Excellency, these are the ten elders of the Demon Palace, and they are now fully responsible for the compensation, and you can consult with them to determine the specific content of the compensation. The villain still has trivial matters on his side, so he will take his leave first!" "Oda Natsuyanagi also knew that it was inconvenient for the ten elders to 'embarras' Harry here, so he made an excuse and left.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of our country has accidentally offended the prestige of your country, and he should give your country a certain amount of compensation......! How can we satisfy the envoy?" it was Elder Toyotomi Shu who spoke, and he had always been in charge of this kind of soft knife use. Saito's 'sexual' personality is not suitable.
"Actually, I think you elders should understand that our Free Empire has come to claim compensation only because your actions have seriously offended the majesty of our Emperor. If punishment is not imposed, it may be difficult for other subjects to be convinced. As for the content of this reparation, it is not too important!, and I do not know what treasures in your country can be favored by His Majesty Niland...... Why don't you provide me with some samples for me to choose from?" Harry smiled faintly.
"I have a good idea, hearing from the envoy. Toyotomi said respectfully, "This is where the treasury of my Oriental Kingdom is located, and it contains all kinds of rare treasures and gold coins from our reserves. We let the adults go in and pick whatever they want, and if they like it, they can take it!"
"That's great!" Harry nodded with satisfaction.
"It's just that we won't send people and 'attendants' to help your lordship. Take as much as you can, sir! The envoy must not ask for anything else!" Toyotomi said treacherously. They had already cleaned the treasure trove beforehand, and all but the things that Harry was never allowed to take were still there, and even if Harry had the strength to carry all the items, he didn't have a large enough container to hold a lot of things.
Therefore, the elder of the Demon Hall was very relieved! No matter how much he took it, it was not as good as the items that the Oriental Kingdom had paid tribute at one time before.
"Very good!" Harry 'licked' his lips and eyes, a greedy look in his eyes. He was really happy with the proposal!
Harry agreed so happily that Toyotomi Shu felt a little uneasy...... How could the envoy's gaze be a bit like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep, could there be something missing from his own plan? He thought about it carefully, no! Even if Harry took off all his clothes to hold the treasure, it would not cause much loss to the Toyo Kingdom.
Finally...... What's wrong?
However, now that he had spoken, it was impossible for him to go back, so he had to let Harry enter the treasure house to choose. Even if there is any mistake, at most it is just a loss of a little more property, and it is not a big deal. If he can take it again, can he still empty the treasure house? Toyotomi Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, no longer thinking about it.
"I'm a picky person, and I may have taken a long time to choose...... The elders waited outside for a while. I'll come out when I'm done. Harry left one last word and walked into the vault.
Since it was for Harry to choose, there was no need to arrange for someone to spy on him. The ten elders stood outside in peace of mind.
Harry leisurely walked into the treasure house of the Oriental Kingdom, and the two large 'doors' slowly closed.
"Elder Toyotomi, is this envoy of the Free Empire stupid?" Saito saw Harry enter the treasure house, and couldn't help but ask Toyotomi in doubt, "How can he take it alone, he must not be able to satisfy their emperor, right?"
"Do you really think he's here to claim compensation?" Toyotomi said coldly, "His real purpose should be to find out the truth of our Oriental Kingdom, as well as to sabotage our alliance with the Holy Light Empire." As for the claim, it is only in name. Since he knows that we have the strength to threaten the Free Empire, he must want to 'befriend' us, and this claim is just a gesture!"
"No wonder His Majesty the Emperor asked us to deliberately make things difficult for him, even if we were a little rude, presumably he would not be able to have a seizure. Saito Snake understood, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Exactly! But don't overdo it. Acting also has to be real to act...... A few days ago, our Demon Temple was quite suspicious of him, and if he suddenly showed an attitude of surrender, he must also be suspicious. Now that this is just the right time, he will not feel that our Oriental Kingdom is a threat to them, nor will he suspect that our Demon Temple has other intentions!"
"It's still Elder Toyotomi, you're 'shrewd'!" said Saito Snake with an admiring smile.
"Anyway, the treasures in the treasure trove can't be used on weekdays, so letting him pick up a few harmless pieces can make the Free Empire feel at ease with us, but it's worth it!"
......
Harry walked into the treasure trove, and after turning a few long narrow corridors, the space suddenly became bright, and the place where he came into view was a dazzling sight.
The treasury is divided into eighteen small rooms, eight of which are filled with gold coins, which are the treasury reserves of Toyo Province.
The remaining ten rooms are filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
Pearls the size of a chicken's egg: this is worth at least 100,000 gold coins in the Free Empire, and now at Harry's feet, almost everywhere......
All kinds of natural, carved agate, colorful 'color', different shapes!
Although Harry doesn't know how to appreciate the various styles of Monrok's local handicrafts, some of the artworks used for decoration and decoration are quite similar to those in the post house, and they look even more luxurious!
In addition, there are some relatively ordinary animal teeth, small and medium-sized pearls, ordinary quality agate, and so on!
You can't go home empty-handed! Since Toyo is so generous, you're not welcome! After being shocked for a while, Harry began to act.
With both hands, he grabbed two huge pearls, shook the void, and disappeared in front of him. Harry continued to quickly send all sorts of exotic treasures back to the Imperial Capital using space grabbing magic.
Although the space grabbing is extremely fast, after all, it can only be teleported back through Harry's medium. If you want to empty the entire treasury...... I'm afraid that it won't be completed without half a day!
It was definitely impossible for the ten elders of the Demon Hall to give themselves half a day to select treasures, and they had no idea of emptying the treasure house...... Although he really wants to do this in his heart, but if he really wants to do this, he is afraid that Toyo Country will be *** soon!
This selection of treasures is also exquisite. Pearl agate can be distinguished from its size and 'color', and those handicrafts Harry is not very recognizable. But he also has his knack:
Harry found that most of the crafts and decorations neatly arranged on the walls were 'fine' and highly appreciated, presumably of great value. And those handicrafts that are "messy" and "mixed" in a pile look relatively ordinary. So Harry's first goal was to dig through the neatly arranged artwork and decorations against the wall, and to search for it that way, he wouldn't have to dig through the treasure piles himself.
In half an hour, Harry swept away the neatest and most valuable things in the ten treasure rooms, and added a large number of huge pearls and beautiful agate. Almost 90% of the most valuable treasures in the Treasurys of the Orient were given away by Harry. Then Harry shoved a few more items into the pile, and then exhaled heavily.
That's pretty much it......
Then Harry picked up a purple gold inlaid fragrant wood brocade box, filled it with a few pearls and agate at random, took off his clothes, wrapped a few treasures in a 'mess' and 'mess', and went out like this.
"Your Excellency, you're done?" Toyotomi glanced at Harryin's things, a mocking smile flashing across his face. This envoy's vision is too bad, and all he chooses are ordinary treasures.
"It's done!" Harry looked tired, and reached out to wipe a handful of sweat.
"Do you need me to choose a few more 'fine' gadgets for the envoy? as a gift to the envoy in our Oriental 'private' direction!" Harry's selection of treasures is really too much for Toyotomi Shu to see, presumably this envoy in the treasure trove is 'dazzled', not knowing how to choose, after staying for half an hour, he actually chooses this kind of goods.
"No need, as long as the elders don't feel distressed...... This time, our Majesty will definitely be very happy!" Harry humbly conceded, "Do you need to confirm? If there are any difficulties, we in the Free Empire will not bully our own subjects, and the items of this claim are also negotiable!"
"No! no!" the ten elders laughed. It's still distressing to have something like this? This envoy is so cute.
Presumably, this envoy was 'proficient' in cultivation, and Monrok's things were not common in the Free Empire, so when he saw anything in the treasure house, he thought it was a rare treasure! The elders of the Demon Hall all had such a thought in their hearts.
"Now that the envoy has been selected, this is a matter of compensation...... Even if it's over, right?" asked Toyotomi tentatively.
"As long as the elders have no opinion, this matter is over!" said Harry, waving his hand. replied.
"Okay, then please ask the envoy to sign this treaty!" Toyotomi Shu took out the two treaties that had been prepared, and the emperor of Toyo Province had already signed them. The content of the treaty was to the effect that the Oriental Kingdom had paid a full amount of money for the offence against the Free Empire. After the two sides have signed and confirmed, they will not be allowed to use this matter to provoke disputes in the future.
