Chapter 1071: Negotiation
Standing behind Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, who acted as a personal guard, kept beating the small drum in her heart.
Facing the housewife of the family, Bai Xiaowen's attitude ...... It seems a little too arrogant.
This is not quite in line with Bai Xiaowen's usual style - in Li Shuyi's impression, Bai Xiaowen is the kind of person who doesn't care about face and pays attention to practical interests. In order to pretend to be forced to anger the head of the spirit world, resulting in variables in the expansion of the plot, this kind of brain-dead behavior should not appear in Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen's thoughts were even deeper.
In Bai Xiaowen's view, in the Drow elf society where women are inferior to men, the status of men is extremely low, and his negotiation with Cynthia's housewife will itself be despised by the housemother.
In this case, blindly compromising will make the other side look down on itself more and more, which is harmful to the negotiation conditions.
Bai Xiaowen showed an arrogant attitude, and the other party's reaction was nothing more than two extremes: the first was to fight in anger and anger, which led to the breakdown of the negotiation;
The first possibility can be basically ruled out, as long as the Cynthia mistress is not a solid fool, she will not fight over the future of the tribe......
Bai Xiaowen crossed his arms and observed the Cynthia housemother with interest.
Mistress Cynthia's face was cloudy.
"Human, do you have a way to help the tribe? ”
"Now the Knosolis clan should be trapped in the necromantic plague. I'd like to make sure first...... Are your original methods of fighting the necromantic plague completely ineffective, or can they be partially effective? ”
Mistress Cynthia said patiently: "It can only be suppressed." This time the necromancy plague was violent...... Some test subjects did not survive the night before the plague virus broke out in their bodies, becoming plague undead. The original plague virus had an incubation period of at least half a month, and even if the virus broke out, there was a process of slow transformation, but now it is completely different. ”
"This is normal, the times are developing, science and technology are advancing...... Bai Xiaowen stared at Cynthia's mother, "How effective are your suppression methods, how long can you suppress the plague virus." ”
"I don't know...... "Mistress Cynthia was a little irritable, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in her heart, "At present, the people who have been injected with spider toxin have not shown any signs of transforming into the plague undead, but the virus has never been able to expel it. Two priests who studied the virus predicted that the suppression would not last more than a month. ”
"I see. ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "The way I can help the Knosolis clan is to make an antidote. ”
"Human, do you know what you're talking about, if the plague lord's virus could be unraveled so easily, then he would have been swallowed up by us a long time ago!"
"At this point, I didn't do you any good by lying to you. In fact, my realm has been invaded by the Necromantic Plague, and just two years ago, the Lord of the Plague sent a large number of plague spreaders to wage war against me along with the remnants of the Sin Realm. But in the end, the Great Chief of the remnants of the Sin Domain was beheaded and my territory was preserved. ”
Mistress Cynthia's expression was a little relaxed, but when she thought of it, she still said gloomily: "The plague virus two years ago, we can also solve it! But now, the plague lord has improved the virus, it has become more violent, and the time required for the attack is shorter! ”
"It took less than a week for my polymath to complete the preparation of the antidote to the plague virus. ”
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "With this foundation, it shouldn't take too long for him to formulate a new antidote for the new plague virus." ”
After Bai Xiaowen threw out this shocking news, he monitored the subtle expressions of Cynthia's housewife.
When she heard the news, Cynthia's eyes narrowed suddenly, her breathing stagnated for about two seconds, and her nails even turned white because of the subconscious force.
Although Cynthia's housewife regained her composure after a moment of shock, and her calm demeanor was not shocked by Bai Xiaowen at all, Bai Xiaowen knew that he had already gained the initiative in negotiations.
The first step in negotiating cooperation is to tell the other party what I can do and accurately grasp how important we are in the other person's heart.
Then comes the second step, which is to ask the other person what to do.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Cynthia's housewife really went to the road, and without waiting for Bai Xiaowen to speak, she directly threw out the question.
"I ask the Alliance. ”
Bai Xiaowen said: "To be precise, it is a flanking alliance against the plague lord forces...... You need to do two things. ”
"First, convince the other tribes of the Drow Elven Empire to wage war against the Lord of Plague in the underworld. ”
"Second, lead the elite army of the Knosoris clan to the north to crusade against the Sin Domain. ”
Cynthia's housewife was shocked, she didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to have such great ambitions, and couldn't help but say, "No, ......"
"Before refusing, I suggest you think about your situation. Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "Your Excellency Mother Cynthia, do you still have a choice?"
"It's crazy, it's completely out of my reach. ”
"The empire is not as monolithic as you might think, and each clan has its own calculations. I don't have the power to convince the other tribes to declare war on the Lord of the Plague when the future is uncertain......"
"That's a shame. Bai Xiaowen shrugged.
There was a hint of ruthlessness in the eyes of Cynthia's housewife, she was desperate, if the negotiation with Bai Xiaowen could not reach an agreement, she would not hesitate to use force to coerce.
"A word of caution, Your Excellency...... My companions and I have the ability to leave this dimensional world at any time," Bai Xiaowen spread out his palms, and the props of the return to the city slightly emitted spiritual energy fluctuations, "If there is no means of preparation, how dare I bring only one person to visit the Drow Elf Mastermother." ”
Mistress Cynthia finally ran out, she lay back on the main seat, sighed and said, "You have won! Your Excellency Dio Skellum, I can accept your second condition! As for the first item, I can only promise to do my best, and I am really not sure whether I will succeed. ”
"Deal. ”
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded. He didn't expect Mistress Cynthia to be able to mobilize the entire Drow Empire to participate in the war in the first place, and the second condition was his fundamental purpose.
With such a strong Drow elf clan, there is no need to worry about the safety of the north in the short term.
