Chapter 321: The Troubles of the Feudal Lord
As the saying goes, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something. Najaf, the illegitimate son of an aristocracy, has been exposed to many strange research projects over the years in search of great power. An experiment that completely destroyed his physical health, so strict that it was impossible for him to have future generations, undoubtedly stimulated Najaf's mental state, and he often wandered between madness and normality.
If the threat of Luo Zhengdao's curse by the Aragami is still a long-term hidden danger, and Najaf's health is so bad that it could take his life at any time, it is urgent to solve this problem, so Najaf urgently needs a way to save his life.
Secret magical societies similar to the Retreat are not only potentially powerful, but also possess a large amount of secret and profound magical knowledge, and submitting to the Retreat is one of the costs that Najaf must pay in order to save his life.
Needless to say, the secret magic societies that the gods and gods chatter about like the hermit will not be able to come to the table in the peaceful years, and not only will the temple and the church come to encircle and hunt down when they know the news, but the more powerful state organs will not tolerate the wanton development of such a semi-cult organization on their own territory. The reason why these secret societies have become rats crossing the streets and being shouted at by everyone is that most of the power they wield is evil things that run counter to the conscience and morality of ordinary people. Compared with the hermitage, an evil warlock like Najaf, who is called a scumbag, is no less than a street ruffian who extorts pocket money from elementary school students, and the black boss who dominates the black underground industrial chain of pornography, gambling, drugs and drugs in a country, even if he says that he is also an underworld force, this amount is 108,000 miles away!
"Your Excellency Gao De, you can't just endure it like this."
Qin Hui still has friends! Seeing that he was turned into a puppet by the Elven Federation, Gauder Needham has his own set of henchmen, and he can survive the scene no matter how sinister the environment is in the past. Unexpectedly, this time he was provoked by Najaf in person, and then he was stabbed in the back by the elf advisor, and fell into the situation of being attacked in the abdomen and back, Gao De's mood was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, what is this tm about? As the head of a force, he actually threw his face on this, how can he have face in the future? Needless to say, the demands of these henchmen and subordinates won the heart of Gao De, but he couldn't find a way to get back into the field after thinking about it, although it was not easy to kill Najaf, it would be even more useless to repair the elf advisor, and he couldn't afford to offend him at all.
After a sigh, Gao De shook his head, this matter can only be discussed in the long run, and if you want to turn your face, you must have enough capital. Seeing this scene, a confidant spoke up and said:
"Sir, don't forget that His Royal Highness the Regent is the supreme commander of all human resistances, at least nominally. Since we recognize the leadership of His Royal Highness the Regent, he is also obliged to mediate disputes, so why don't you ask him for arbitration? ”
As soon as he heard this, Gao De suddenly raised his hand and touched his forehead, and sighed and regretted it, this is not wrong at all, it is indeed that he wants to go wrong.
In a hierarchical society, the boundaries between the upper and lower hierarchies of the nobility are strictly divided, and since no one has come forward to openly oppose Luo Zhengdao, the self-proclaimed empty regent, he has confirmed this son, and then carried out a large-scale canonization of nobles, and now he can be said to be the supreme leader of the human camp. Gaude, who was also a member of the Resistance, clashed with Najaf, and it was only logical for the feudal lord Regent to intervene to coordinate it, with the added benefit of doing so. Previously, Gao De made a gesture of concession and forbearance under the coercion of the elven advisors, which can be packaged and interpreted as respecting the authoritative position of the regent and unwilling to split the noble act of the human alliance camp, which can be regarded as regaining some of the lost face.
Having said that, Gao De's evil breath still couldn't swallow, and if he wanted to talk about hatred, Najaf's slap in the face was indeed hateful, and the elven advisor who stabbed him in the back made him feel a heavy sense of crisis with a thorn in his back.
Frankly, Gaude does want to use the power and prestige of Will Needham Regent to counterbalance the increasingly powerful financiers, and the Elven Federation has been acting more and more excessively lately, and has become less and less interested in him. Faced with such a realistic dilemma, a deepening relationship between Gaudet and the regent Will Needham helped to curb the imbalance of power
"Oh, Gaude and Najaf are in conflict over Chongshan Island? Is there anything special about that place? How could the two sides suddenly scramble? ”
When he first heard the news from the intelligence director under his command, Luo Zhengdao only thought it was ridiculous, and then he couldn't cry or laugh. As everyone knows, the main continent is staggering in size than all the continents of the Old World combined, not to mention the number of islands surrounding the waters surrounding the continent. Compared with the many alternative targets of the stars, these two can actually run together to crash, purely in terms of probability than winning the lottery! Realizing that the inside story of this matter may not be simple, Luo Zhengdao quickly calmed down from his instinctive banter about absurd things, and he touched his chin and began to seriously think about the tricks.
Could it be that Chongshan Island is a treasure of feng shui, and whoever gets it can win the emperor's throne? Of course, this kind of stupid talk can only fool those illiterate people who have no knowledge at all, and he will believe what others say.
Najaf didn't want that piece of land, and deliberately giving Gao De eye medicine was just an appearance, and the deep purpose was to provoke the cooperation between Gao De and the Elven Federation. Why did Najaf know in advance that the elven advisor around Gao De would definitely give him a soft nail to touch, and refused to obey the order to start a war with Najaf, which became the most worthy of Luo Zhengdao's efforts to study and scrutinize.
"Hehehehehe, Najaf, I underestimated you."
One of the root causes of mortal man's inferiority is the habit of judging heroes by success or failure, or judging ability by personal conduct, the problem is that success or failure cannot determine whether a hero is a hero or not, and the quality of an individual's conduct has nothing to do with his actual ability.
It is true that the evil sorcerer Najaf Needham is a despicable villain, but a villain is not the same as a wasted person, and moral despicability has no causal relationship with how capable he is. Until this time, Luo Zhengdao suddenly realized that he knew too little about this guy, not to mention that he knew everything like an old opponent goblin, and even the intelligence gathering work of ordinary pirate leaders was slightly inferior, and the warlock Najaf always hid his secrets under the eye-catching black robe.
Gao De, who lost his adult in public, was anxious to get back on the field, and Najaf had to report to Luo Zhengdao, the regent, for reason, and don't forget who gave him his official aristocratic status, no matter what he thought in his heart, face work was still indispensable.
As a result, the representatives of the two sides of this dispute quickly sat down at the same negotiation table, and the so-called enemies were very red when they met, such as cross-eyebrows and cold eyes, and it is estimated that everyone knows it.
The scale and formal procedures of this mediation conference are roughly between the number of underworld talks and state negotiations, which are more formal than the former and simpler than the latter, but the basic content and process are the same. As soon as the two sides came up, they immediately slapped the table first, then yelled, and finally came to a full martial arts, and waited until they were tired of tossing before they started to talk about business.
“…… Since you both think you have a point, state your reasons. Your Excellency Gao De, you are the plaintiff, please speak first! ”
Hearing this, Gaud Needham stood up, glared viciously at Najaf, who was sitting opposite, looking lazy, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Highness, when you divided the fiefdoms, I already chose these islands, right?"
At this time, Luo Zhengdao, who was sitting on the main seat, did not look at Najaf's expression, he nodded as usual and said:
"Yes, I agreed to His Excellency Gao De's request at that time, and Chongshan Island is also within the demarcation range."
Gaud Needham, who was full of rage, suddenly launched his ultimate, angrily raised his hand and pointed at the evil warlock sitting opposite him, and said sharply:
"This guy went to the fiefdom I demarcated to make trouble, this kind of rude behavior is inexcusable."
Hearing this, and holding the negative attitude that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Najaf plucked his ears with his tail fingers, and with an impatient sneer on his pale cheeks, he teased:
"Hey, Gauder, calm down. Your name is not written on Chongshan Island, it is land occupied by goblins, and whoever can recover the lost land should belong to whom! Are you right? His Royal Highness the Regent? ”
Gao De, who was slapped in the face in the face, was about to erupt with flames in his eyes, and he scolded angrily like thunder and said:
"Bastard, do you have a point? I'm going to duel you! ”
Najaf looked at his fingernails slowly, then tilted his head and squinted at Gaude, and said:
"Hmph, it's too slow for you to do it yourself, remember to act faster next time."
"I'll fight with you."
Seeing that Gao De and Najaf were about to fight, Luo Zhengdao was also speechless for these two good actors with excellent acting skills, he saw things very clearly, Najaf was pretending to be confused, and Gao De simply used grievances to cover up his natural defects of insufficient control over his opponents. The problem is that the two of them are sick, why should they let Luo Zhengdao accompany them to take medicine? These two actors came to him to show their acting skills, and it was clear that they wanted to use him to create public opinion, so Luo Zhengdao was angry, he knocked his fingers on the table, and said helplessly:
"Stop, you two have to pay attention to your identity, I'm not a place for you to mess around."
Luo Zhengdao, who pretended to be angry, raised his voice, and his voice overshadowed the two parties, and then he turned his head to look at the changes in the expressions of the two, and said:
"I have two solutions, the first is for His Excellency Gao De to pay a military fee to redeem Chongshan Island from His Excellency Najaf, and the second is to exchange other territories for an equal amount, which way are you willing to choose?"
One of the basic skills that the superior must learn is to deal with the mud, there are too many things in the world to distinguish between black and white, right and wrong, and there is no way to deal with the aftermath without the hand of the mud. So far, Luo Zhengdao can only learn from his predecessors to sacrifice this trick, although both parties will feel very unhappy, but he has given a solution. Luo Zhengdao's method fell on Najaf's ears, and his face changed slightly, although the evil warlock immediately disguised the change in expression with a treacherous smile, and always kept an eye out for the half-elf beauty staring at someone, but he saw something strange.
At this time, Vena Dubov took the opportunity to pour tea, she bent down to Luo Zhengdao's ear, and said:
"Will, Najaf has a conspiracy."
