Chapter 206: Cloud Shadow's Meaning
"But I've lived fifty-two years this year."
Uh, well, being yelled at by Raymond Senpai made Cloud Shadow completely forget about this fact.
"What's wrong with fifty-two? I'm just an adult in the druids, really, just like Memphis - they all love to rely on the old and sell the old, I said, why do you keep calling me senior? ”
"Hehe, Senior Sister Yunying, you are annoyed and angry, I call you Senior Sister Sheng just to remind yourself not to forget that you are pretending to be a child now."
Raymond's state is becoming more and more relaxed, and now that things have been laid out, the worst outcome is only to make the negotiation more difficult - no one can be so swollen as to break the agreement and face the growing power of the temple alone.
"Stop, back to business - you just said you didn't want to move out of the ghetto as Rogge wanted?"
Yun Ying rubbed his head, resolutely refusing to admit that he had a mood swing just now.
"Yes, the colony is the last barrier for our druids, and we must leave a way out for ourselves."
"Well, I understand what you mean, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about your alliance with Rogge, once the temple is suppressed - Rogge will definitely not let go of the existence that will threaten his position, and the holy war a hundred years ago also involved the national army."
“…… Senior Sister Yunying, I've been thinking about a question, you say you're loyal to King Aniah, but you always call him by his first name - without the slightest respect, I doubt your loyalty. ”
"What a sharp guy, and I'm not afraid to tell you - I was forced by the times, but since I'm doing things for Rogge now, I naturally have to take some responsibility."
"Hey, Senior Sister Yunying told this kind of secret so easily-I'm afraid it's fake."
This is human nature, and even if the race is different, it is common in many places - many times no one believes the truth.
"As you think, I just want to say that I understand your feelings - the death of the cunning rabbit. Lackeys cook, living in the backwoods and having a buffer in case of future conflicts, but—"
"But?"
"Hehe, but I'm afraid there are other reasons for you to stick to the settlement-such as the secret ...... of the Holy Land."
"Y-What do you know?!"
Raymond jumped up from his chair again, and he found that his palms were soaked with cold sweat.
"Tsk, don't get excited - it's a good thing there's no one else around where we're sitting, do you want Rog's secret to know the druid's secrets? Don't worry, I won't say anything, on the contrary - I still have a request for you. ”
“……”
Raymond closed his lips and fell silent, he suddenly couldn't figure out what Cloud Shadow really meant.
"It's simple. You have to agree to Rogge's terms, but just make a gesture - send dozens of people to set up a village wherever you want, and that guy doesn't know how many Druids there are anyway. And I'll help you deal with the gaps, so that your army can return to the Holy Land at any time. ”
“…… Attention is nice, but why would you bother to help us? What are the benefits you want? ”
"Don't worry, I'm just about to say - I hope that in the future, if I break with Rog, the druids will allow me to bring some people into your holy land!"
This is the real purpose of Cloud Shadow today! She is not afraid of death. But she didn't want to die, and she didn't want to cause others to die, if things were so bad that they couldn't be reversed - she had to save those innocent people first, but the whole world was not the king's land, and where could she hide with a group of people? Thinking about it, maybe only the alien holy land that can't even break the holy war is the safest, but in fact, Yunying didn't think about discussing it with Memphis. But the latter and Rogge are too close.
“…… This is impossible, the Holy Land must not be allowed to be entered by any outsiders. ”
Raymond's tone was resolute, but he didn't have the capital to be resolute.
"Raymond. You can think about it, the druids are different from the water demons represented by Memphis, they were the first to contact Rogge for an alliance, and the icing on the cake is never as touching as the charcoal in the snow, and I'm afraid that Rog can find the druids and have to rely on the blessings of the water demons. ”
“…… Be. There is a special connection between our clans, and it was the Water Demon Empress who personally persuaded our elders. ”
"Hmm—so Rog doesn't know where you live?"
"Of course. But we have revealed the general location, and we are not afraid of Aniah's army to encircle and suppress it, because it is close to the Grutu Empire - the wolf cavalry of the orcs is not vegetarian. ”
Is the border between the Grutu Empire and the Ania Empire...... Cloud Shadow secretly remembered it in his heart.
"Don't be too optimistic, it's not just about sending troops to attack and let people die—you should understand that intrigue can kill people invisibly."
"Senior Sister Yunying is right, but there is no other way for us to gain a firm foothold now."
"Bingo—that's what I'm worth to you—you don't know much about the Ania Empire and Rogge at the moment, and if you want to make fewer mistakes, you need someone who can discern the situation and speak well in front of Rogge, and among the people you know—you must not know a few people in just a few days, but not Mefetz, who, though in a similar situation to you, cares nothing about foreign affairs, so it's just me—I can help you, and since I ask you, you don't have to worry about me making trouble behind my back."
“……”
Raimanti fell silent again, and Cloud Shadow knew that his heart had been shaken again.
"Senior Sister Yunying, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty Rogge everything you said today?"
"I'm afraid, why don't you - but you won't, I'm just a life, and you're gambling on the future of the whole clan!"
Cloud Shadow's interlocking lobbying finally made Raymond change his attitude: "Okay, I'll report this matter to the elders on my behalf." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Yun Ying's eyes were suddenly filled with a kind smile: "Come on, come on." Eat quickly, the dishes are going to be cold. ”
Alas, if Raymond, who has lived in the mountains for fifty-two years, is not the opponent of Cloud Shadow.
In the cooperation between Cloud Shadow and Raymond, the next meal can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts, but she never drank the cup of Xinzi tea that Raymond poured for Cloud Shadow - the pain that Rog gave her a few months ago was too deep, and this pain Cloud Shadow vowed to get it back in her lifetime!
"Senior Sister Yunying, thank you for your hospitality, then I'll go first."
After eating, Raymond was obviously a little absent-minded, and Cloud Shadow didn't force him to stay—presumably he was going to get in touch with their elders, say goodbye to the older boy who had left in a hurry, and look at the time—at eight o'clock in the evening, was there any place else to go?
