Volume 11 The Underworld! Chapter 51: Beisereng's Strategy (Part II)

The next day's negotiations were held in the conference hall. [No pop-ups.]

But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, that is, there was no grand welcome ceremony and did not follow the etiquette of the mainland nobles, and even made people feel that this was just a simple banquet.

In short, everything is so dull and calm, even people who are not very nervous can smell the coldness in the air, the diplomat Dals is a person who attaches great importance to face, when he sat at the long table and waited for a long time and no one came, his face had become extremely gloomy, as if he had reached the limit of an outbreak, fortunately, there was an adjutant Noka who kept persuading, so he could barely suppress his anger, but he was secretly thinking in his heart that he must humiliate the bishop who dared to despise him during the negotiation later!

At this moment, the doors of the council chamber slowly opened to both sides.

Both men looked up at the same time.

"These are the diplomats of the Free City-State, Darles and Master Noka, right?" a young man with beautiful blond hair walked in with a smile, his smile was innocent and beautiful, and he was a little shy, and his fair skin was matched with a neat and straight black ceremonial dress, which made people feel a heartfelt affection at a glance.

"It's despicable. Dalles stood up and nodded in salute. Although I don't know what the identity of the other party is, this young man has a noble temperament and an extraordinary background, so the basic etiquette must be maintained.

Seeing the inquiry in the other party's eyes, Lemon smiled politely and said, "In Lower Lemon, it is the son of the bishop, please take a seat." ”

Dalles and Noka glanced at each other and sat down slowly.

After exchanging a few polite words, Dalles waited for a few more moments. But seeing that the other party didn't mention Luo Lan's meaning, he coughed and said, "Excuse me, when will the Bishop come?"

Adjutant Noka sighed secretly, Lord Dalles had revealed his eagerness so quickly, and he had lost before the negotiations began.

Lemon still had that good-looking smile on his face, and said sincerely: "The mentor is busy with affairs, I am afraid that he will not be able to come, and the negotiation matters will be left to me as a plenipotentiary representative." ”

"What?"

As soon as he sat down, Darles stood up again. His face was full of anger, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lemmon, but his mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything insulting, but took a deep breath, and said in a slowed tone as much as possible: "What is your identity in the sect?"

Lemon also stood up and smiled, "No identity." ”

Dalles felt the muscles in his cheeks tense suddenly, but he felt Adjutant Noka tugging at the corners of his clothes, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and he tried to breathe once. He clasped his hands and tilted his head to the side, and said coldly: "Hmph, the bishop actually sent a child to negotiate with me, and he doesn't even have a basic clergy, let me ask, does your bishop respect the free city-state, or do you want to challenge the authority of the city-state?"

Adjutant Norka was silent, he had already sensed that the bishop did not take them to heart, what did the other party rely on to dare to be so fearless?

Lemon looked puzzled and said, "My lord, my mentor sent me precisely because he valued the two of them. ”

"Huh?" said Darles, a suspicious look.

Lemon also seemed embarrassed. Apologetically, he said, "My guru is a devout believer who is not good at socializing with others, so these mundane tasks are usually handled by others, but I, as the son of my guru, represent him himself, and it is precisely because the bishop respects you that I arrange this way." So if you have any conditions, it's the same as I said. ”

Although I feel that this statement is somewhat untrue. But Dals was helpless now, he couldn't see what the bishop was trying to do, and now he calmed down a little, and after snorting coldly, he sat down again, and closed his mouth tightly, as if he didn't care about Lemon's conversation.

The conference hall suddenly felt a little cold, and Adjutant Noka glanced at his superior, leaned forward with a wry smile. Pondered for a moment. Then he said bluntly: "Can the bishop consider the matter of establishing a diocese again and in return?" The new ruler of Northern Selen will be friendly with the free city-states. ”

Lemon's breath seemed to hold his breath for a moment, then he returned to his calm expression and chuckled, "Is that all?"

Adjutant Noka's eyes lit up, in fact, it doesn't make much sense for the free city-state of Beiselen's ruling power to admit it or not, because this is already a fact, and saying this sentence is just to make the attitude of the free city-state clear, but since the other party did not immediately refuse, and also released words, it means that it is not impossible to talk about this condition, but that the condition is not enough.

Noka pondered for a while, and then said, "You should know that the land of Bethlehem is barren, and the free city-states are rich in goods and commerce, and we can provide many things, including some that Beiserem desperately needs, such as food, weapons, and cloth...... Of course, we can sell it to you at the lowest price. He scrutinized Lemon's expression with each item he named, as if trying to see some clues.

But before Lemon could speak, Darles added coldly, "Your Excellency should understand that there are many people who are willing to cooperate with us, and the Bishop is not the only one. ”

Noka suddenly cried out in his heart, but he was too late to stop it.

Lemon understood that the other party was hinting: The barbarian nobles are willing to give us greater benefits! We don't just need you! But he didn't get angry, but smiled faintly and said, "But only the Lord Bishop can resist the orc legion." ”

Darles said disdainfully: "Can a few thousand people resist the orc army?or just rely on the Lord Bishop?" Although he had also heard the rumors that the Lord Bishop would control the dragon to defeat the orcs, but after all, it was just a rumor, but in his heart he thought that this was just a clumsy trick used to build momentum, and only with the assistance of the free city-states could the word "defense" be talked about, and Darles simply doubted that Lemon's age could understand the key to this.

The adjutant looked at Dals's words a little aggressively. hurriedly added, "We are very sincere." ”

Lemmon smiled and nodded, and said, "I will explain the opinions of the two adults to the Bishop, by the way, there is a lot of chaos in the city these days, and there are still many orc assassins and spies, I hope the two of you don't move around at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the two diplomats changed slightly at the same time. Dalles' eyes flickered, a little frightened and a little angry.

Then there was no much point, both sides understood that today was just a simple trial, and if you want to get a result, it can be solved in a day or two, and after a few more words of conversation between the two sides, the two diplomats took their leave.

Looking at the empty hall, Lemon smiled mockingly, and he walked towards the inner hall, which was only separated by a wall, where a man sat the whole time. Lemmon bowed to him and said, "Teacher, did I say the wrong place?"

Luo Lan smiled and nodded, "You did a good job." ”

Lemon pondered for a moment, and then wondered, "Master, but there is one thing I wonder, since it is not appropriate for us to turn against them now, why don't we first agree to their request for the time being? Anyway, they can go back on it at any time before they sign the covenant, so that it will be more stable for them? Now in this way, they are likely to make a little move. ”

"Huh. Luo Lan slapped the armrest, stood up, squinted his eyes and said, "Lemon, if not, how can you lead to the good show below?"

Dalles kept his cool all the way, but when he got back to the inn. He immediately tore off the disguise. He slammed the table and roared, "How can one person stop the attack of hundreds of thousands of orc troops?

Noka smiled bitterly: "My lord, they didn't reject us......"

Dalles glared at him and sneered, "Can't I tell what they really mean?"

Noka was stunned, this adult was not as dull as he imagined, but why did he spend his mind on some details the most, thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head

"Your Excellency. Someone is asking to see you......" The voice of the squire outside the door rang out.

"No, no, no. "Dalles is irritable and tired right now. I don't want to see anyone.

"My lord," the squire's voice suddenly became low, "it's a barbarian......."

"Oh?" Dalles' body shook, he had just fallen down on the soft chair, his body bounced up like a spring, knocked on his forehead, suddenly looked at his adjutant, and said excitedly: "Noka, our chance has come!"

Before the adjutant could react, he pushed the door open and went out, and Noka looked at the shaking door and sighed softly.

Half an hourglass later, Darls appeared at the door with a smug expression, and he slowly closed the door, turned around as if he had won a battle, and said with a bright look in his eyes, "The barbarians will lead the people to attack the city, and they are willing to agree to all the demands of the free city-state." ”

Noka was taken aback, jumped up and said eagerly, "My lord, you promised them?" This is still in the cold of Beise, their lives are in the hands of others, how dare Dalles take this risk?

Dalles frowned and glanced at him, as if he was very dissatisfied with his attitude, and said coldly: "Hmph, what's wrong...... He seemed to feel that his tone was a little heavy, so he took a breath and said: "It's just an empty promise, but I just want to add some pressure to that bishop, let him know that we are not easy to bully." ”

Noka thought about it, and felt that he was too nervous, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Also, as long as you don't sign and seal or give them tokens, it's easy to do." After all, this is in the Bishop's sphere of influence. ”

As soon as he spoke, he didn't notice that Darles's face had changed, and a trace of uneasiness seemed to flash in his eyes, but he quickly laughed dryly twice and suppressed it.

But at this time, the door was slammed open, and the attendant stumbled in, hissing: "Two adults, no, the barbarians who walked out just now were caught, and now they are coming here with weapons......"

Dalles' face turned pale for a moment, and he sat down in the wooden chair in a dejected manner, and he suddenly understood that he had fallen into a trap!
