"Ahh Please say hello to King Eltathan's cousin for me. ”

The carriage began to move slowly, and there were only two people in the carriage, Eufe Mondridge and the emissary from the Northern Territories.

"Hello, Lord Commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, this is also a good meeting." The messenger from the north took off his hat and shook off the dust on it. She spoke with a frosty style, without any trace of emotion.

Offmonteri drew the curtains, leaving only the frontal openwork window. Letting others see him riding in the same car with the territorial emissary who now belongs to the Doniva camp, or sitting with a snow-white short-haired iceberg beauty up close, both of which are extremely detrimental to him. The former is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the latter will generate some gossip. Even if it's a business, let's put the place on a carriage that moves without anyone witnessing the entity.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. The envoy did not hesitate to come from afar, what did he want? ”

The pupils under the messenger's beautiful white broken bangs suddenly shrank and relaxed, and then he continued to say in a frosty tone, "Non-aggression pact. "It's a treasure of words.

"What kind of non-aggression is exactly?" Offe Mondrich put his left leg on his right, his left fingers tapping on the cashmere cushion. The female envoy was quite beautiful, and her figure was very good—but her face was too cold.

"We will not take sides in this war between your country and Doniva, including but not limited to sending troops to provide supplies through the road, in other words, we hope that your side will remain neutral to the Northlands like Doniva."

"Oh?" The director began to giggle. "Have you not sworn allegiance to the 'Emperor' of Doniva? Want to get right now? Do you find this convincing? ”

"Successive lords of the Northlands have been loyal only to the victors of the South in the struggle for the throne. Doniva won the rivalry against Baccarat, so we are loyal to him. If you can defeat Doniva, it will not prevent us from paying your taxes. "To put the traitor so bluntly, Miss Iceberg still has no emotional fluctuations - at least not from the outside. Even if there is any wavering in the heart, it is not an idle person to be able to maintain such a stable posture.

"It's really exquisite." Ouffel Mondridge gritted his teeth and looked at the messenger's only flushed face. I can't wait to eat and wipe this annoying little girl in one go, it's really annoying to put on such an expression even though she is a beautiful woman. How could he not have known that there were no people in the north, no arable land and no grain, and all that could be seen were hills and frozen soil and snow-capped mountains, and that there were many more hunters than farmers...... Without the sincere support of the north, it would have been impossible to march directly from the valley to make a detour to the west, and it would not be possible to expect much grain to be handed over from the north. From this point of view, it is not impossible to maintain neutrality with the advantages of hostility with the Northland, and what the director wants is to expand the bargaining chips of the deal. "Do you think we have a big church and we can't do anything about you? We can also mobilize our forces again and set foot on your shabby little cold palace! Offy Mondrich jerked his left hand in front of his neck and made a decapitation gesture, which seemed a bit aggressive.

"Threats? I've heard a lot about my predecessors, but now we don't see anyone who threatens me. Without even blinking an eyelid, the messenger continued with his eyes level. Damn, is this a puppet? Ouffer Mondrich thought so. But how can a craftsman make such a delicate puppet? The words of this female messenger are always undulating---but the words are full of thorns, and I really can't think of them unless I think about them seriously. This kind of emotionless negotiator is really difficult to deal with...... You have no way to discover his weaknesses and find out what he cares about, that is, the bottom line and shortcomings of the other party's negotiation.

The motionless iceberg continued to respond to the director's threat: "If you want to draw us into the alliance, it only means that you have no confidence to deal with Doniva, a strong enemy. If you don't want to be neutral, we'll be forced to join the Doniva side, how about that? Choose to be hostile to us, or neutral to us, only at the slightest thought of you. "From here, it's the real picture. I'm afraid that the administrators of the Northland will be able to survive several power struggles, relying on the forcible neutrality of the terrain advantage. The road under the snow-capped mountains is best known only to the locals, and once an ambush is set up in an important place, then the army can only be trapped by the sheep intestine path.

"It seems that the person who sent you out really clearly understands how many catties and taels our Bilunar Church has. Worthy of being the cousin of the old fox Charles. Looks like I really have to sign this non-aggression pact. ”

"Bringing my lord to the point of conversation doesn't help us in our current discussion."

"Three hundred snow fox skins, three hundred snow wolf skins, three hundred yak skins, plus a good night with you - sign now. My personal stamp is in my jacket pocket, what do you think? Beautiful Miss Messenger. Offy Mondridge directly skipped the terms of the tug-of-war, and stroked the female messenger's chin with his hand and responded teasingly.

"Negative. I am under no obligation to offer myself as a condition of the transaction. Also, please take your hand off the bottom of my head. "Damn, is this really a puppet? It's a shame that you're in such a great shape, and you don't know anything about people...... You must know that I am loved by everyone, but I am the bedside dream of the girls of Lankas!

Eufe Mondrich thought so and quickly responded: "If you don't want to, Beauty, then I will raise the price to five hundred." In fact, if the other party agreed to roll the sheets with him, Offet Mondrich would have taken what he had just said as a joke and flatly refused. Now the iceberg-like target of the strategy is more interesting to him than to ask the Northland to hand over a price that is sincere enough. The money from furs is only a small part of his trade plate, and it is even more the tip of the iceberg for future armament consolidation plans.

There was a fleeting hesitation on the messenger's face, and his eyeballs could be seen to shift a few degrees, but they quickly returned to their original form. She replied softly, "Then we demand that the non-aggression pact be written on the back of the curse of the treaty that we have drawn up, and that you have your bloody fingerprints." In contrast, I put on my body and added 200 furs each. "That's a lot of sincerity. For the sake of peace and stability, the monarchs and ministers of the Northland can really afford to be ruthless.

Rub, there is really this hand. Thinking so, Ofer Mondridge found that this was a beauty trick that wanted to be captured? "Okay, okay, that's it. Rest assured, we have no intention of breaking the contract. ”

The carriage skirted the street and stopped safely on the side of the road in a certain shop, as if the superintendent was going to buy some seafood.

"Well, I'll see you in this car tomorrow night. I will arrange the place of negotiation. With that, Ofer Mondrich pushed open the door and jumped into the shop, and the carriage drove with the messenger of the Northland towards the end of the street.

Offet Mondrich put his left hand on the stove in the seafood shop and whistled briskly. Life is as wonderful as Hilzi's big dried squid! Charles's cousin seemed to know that he, the director of the Western Expeditionary Army, was good at this, and specially sent a fragrant trap. However, the playboy himself didn't mind jumping into the trap himself. The expansion of the territory and the achievements of the centuries have nothing to do with him.

Unlike Rucha, who is delusional about becoming the leader of Elta's province, and Maiz, who is full of bad water at first glance, if the two of them come to contact the envoy, they will make trouble on both sides, and even march into the Northland will be included in the agenda. It would be unwise to waste troops for the sake of the unproductive frozen mountains - but it was in line with the wishes of these wave-chasers who were up and down in the sea, and marched to the north to achieve full success, leaving all the infidels and disobedient to fall before the wand and the sword! It sounds so imposing, but the truth is so stretched. You must know that what is now guarding against the Northland is only a few cavalry units that add up to a hundred people.

At this time, the director of the seafood shop is more like a glutton. The shopkeeper didn't know the big man who could steer Elta's future, but it was clear from his wand and clothes that the regular was not a bad dealer. Offmontridge had long since discovered that the seafood of Hilzi was much more delicious and varied than that of the vicinity of Lancasbourse. But the chilled deep-sea fish that are common in Lancas are rarely seen here. This kind of magical food can only be enjoyed by the wealthy in Elta. This is not to say that dried seafood hanging in a seafood shop with salt frost is worse than chilled, but it can only be said that Eufaelmont, who is accustomed to luxury, suddenly discovers that commoner enjoyment can satisfy his desires.

The specific reason should be that the seafood method outside Lancas, whether it is fresh fish, shrimp and crab, or air-dried salting, is much better than the simple stacking of ingredients in his hometown. Rather than the usual frozen sashimi platter made by Lancas, which relies on freezing magic and topped with cream and noodles, he prefers to wrap the meat in bread and chop all kinds of dried seafood soaked in water, and bake vegetables in the oven to crisp and fragrant. Or you can just dry the fish on the fire and roast it lightly before serving it. There is no need to be poor and luxurious in life, and that is the true meaning of being comfortable! He didn't know if Rucha and the guys from the Two Moons in Lancas thought so, it was enough for him to think so.

Eufay Mondridge bought the dried squid and smoked mackerel, and with a bad taste of it, he took out a fake penny from the alchemy and paid the bill along with the silver and gold coins. Back in his makeshift den, Naio and a warm fire awaited him, and it would be a rare time for him to relax before marching in.
