Chapter 364, The Crow's Calculation.
"Fortunately...... On behalf of Noxus, I greet you, Miss Doom. ”
Perfect etiquette.
Noxus's aristocratic etiquette, which was originally just a void and a snake, seemed to be alive in the hands of the pale man in the red coat in front of him, which made people sigh in their hearts.
In comparison, the swaggering and fancy dressed guy behind him looked more like a gangster on the docks of Bilgewater.
Guards?
Sarah looked at the calluses on Draven's hands.
Although thick but not rough, it looks like it will be carefully maintained every day to ensure that its feel is not affected.
If you want to fight, I'm afraid you'll suffer.
Billgewater's peculiar way of looking at people - can I beat him or not.
If they can be fought, the Bilgewater will be tough, and on the contrary, they will be cautious.
It seems that Noxus knows a thing or two about this way of looking at people.
"Fortunately...... If you are here for sightseeing, you are more than welcome. “
Sarah said, shaking hands with Vladimir casually.
Cold......
At the moment of contact, Sarah's heart was shocked.
The man's hand in front of him was like an ice cube, making people feel the temperature and wondering if he was the 'black fog' of the south
"Oh...... It's rude, and the contemptible person is born in bad health. ”
As he spoke, Vladimir took out a pair of white gloves from his chest and brought them up.
"If this bothers you...... I apologize, just on my own. ”
"I'll admit it, my etiquette is learned, and you can get down to business. ”
Sarah said, sitting down in her chair while keeping her eyes fixed on Draven behind her.
You know, Noxus has always been known for its unscrupulous means, and nothing can happen at the moment when the negotiations break down.
"The men of Bilgewater seem to be very bold, and in that case, let's get straight to the point, this is a letter from General Darius to you, please take a look. ”
While taking the letter from his bosom, the corners of Vladimir's mouth smiled wryly, apparently, he already knew the contents of the envelope.
"Darius, he's just a general, and wants to speak to Bilgewater and let the King of Noxus come himself. ”
"What did you say!"
At this time, Delevingne on the side was obviously enraged by this sentence, and as soon as the axe in his hand was raised, it was blocked by Vladimir.
"Huh...... Yes, General Darius is only a general at the moment, but you are not the lord of Bilgewater now, and you and I both know that if you want to eat this cake, you have to think about it in the long run. ”
"Humph!"
Obviously, in the face of Vladimir's explanation, Raven was also speechless, the guy in front of him was much smarter than he imagined.
"Okay...... You're right, it was my adjutant who was rude. ”
As she spoke, Sarah tore open the envelope and took out a small piece of paper inside.
Raven also came up.
And at the same time, a wry smile appeared on Vladimir's face.
He knew what was written on it.
"What does that mean?"
Sarah slammed the white paper on the table.
"I want you an explanation. ”
Looking at the angry Sarah, Raven also looked up.
On the small white paper, five words were clearly written.
'Surrender, or perish.' “
Phrases engraved on Noxtola.
Whenever Noxus conquered a place, a stone arch was placed there, through which only Noxus envoys could pass through, and at the same time, most of those envoys were conscripts and tax-collectors.
And looking at the angry appearance of Sarah and the people around her, the wry smile on Vladimir's face became even stronger.
When he opened the envelope on the ship, he used letters to persuade Darius.
But the news I got was 'told the truth.' “
Maybe the old raven was right, Darius was just stupid.
Thinking so, Vladimir hurriedly put away the paper on the table.
But what he didn't see was that under the reflection of the light, a small and delicate magic array flashed under the paper, and then disappeared into the air.
At this time, Noxus, the top of the tower, the highest operational command post of Noxus.
It is hard to imagine that the room of the top leader of a country is so small and easy to furnish.
A few chairs, a frighteningly large Valoran sand table, a table for handling official documents, and...... A crystal ball.
"It seems that everything is going according to plan......"
Svein looked at the image in the magic circle in front of him and said as he fed the birds on the side.
"You've done a good job, LeBlanc. ”
"It's not a compliment, to be honest, Noxus's intelligence system needs to be strengthened, and just a kiss can reveal the secrets. ”
As he spoke, LeBlanc held two envelopes in his hands and handed them to Svein.
Svein took the envelope and opened one with the seal of Darius, and found that the paper was densely written, and it was hard to believe that Darius, who was known for his irascibness, could write so many words.
"Truth be told, the words written on it are no different from the ones on the paper you asked me to replace, and the guy who only had conquest in his head found two good scribes, but the core meaning remained the same. ”
LeBlanc sat on the side, a little bored, took out a cup of hot flower tea from his arms, and poured himself a drink.
"No, no, no...... If this is the case, the envoy will do everything he can to reach a level that is satisfactory to both sides, and all I have to write is the word provocation. ”
As he spoke, Svein opened another envelope with interest, and on it, a red drop of blood was drawn.
It was Vladimir's letter to Darius.
But it was also intercepted by LeBlanc.
"Billgewater is beyond the reach of Noxus, and it is also the key to affecting our army on the battlefield of Ionia, as long as it does not interfere in our war with Ionia, it has been successful, and when Ionia is completely captured, we have enough strength to conquer Billgewater......"
Svein gently read the handwriting on the paper, and at the end, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Quite insightful, if Darius really listened to him, I'm afraid the Noxus to Ionia transport route would be much easier. ”
LeBlanc said.
"That's right...... He was talented, both as a diplomat and as a strategist. ”
As he spoke, Svein touched Vladimir's face on the crystal ball beside him, and beside him, it was Delevingne and the guards of Noxus.
"Why didn't you poach such a talented person?"
LeBlanc leaned in and looked at the crystal ball in confusion.
"It is true that he is indeed a usable talent, but there is only one drawback that makes him a time bomb......"
As he spoke, Svein sneered and pressed a piece of white paper in his hand against the crystal ball.
"It's just not being able to control yourself......"
