Chapter 291: Persuasion
"Patriarch? Your patriarch is so idle that he came to the imperial capital? I've heard that your fiefdom is far away, as far as the edge of Starag. Lu En said as he followed the vulture towards the hidden place.
"To the patriarch, this distance is only three hours, which is nothing." The other party replied coldly, and did not look back.
The vulture is a flying monster with a mixed appearance of a horse and a giant eagle, with wide wings, a horse's body, an eagle's head and beak, front claws and hooves on its hind legs, a typical vulture horse is three meters long, a wingspan of more than ten meters, weighs half a ton, and has thick skin and flesh, but it is incredibly light.
The head in front of me is bigger, bigger than the ordinary circle, about the length of a car, about five or six meters, and it is also very high, at least two or three meters, three or four people sitting on the back are not satisfied, it should be regarded as a relatively strong kind, there may be a level of 6 or so?
"Three hours through half the empire, speed 8 is really powerful, such a speed, the movement of the rush must be very big, right?" Lu En smiled and chatted.
"It will be like lightning streaking across the sky, not only with electric light, but also loud enough to be louder than the biggest thunder." The eagle horse replied with some pride.
"Well, the sonic boom, it should still be very lethal, and if you can reach this level with simple speed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up even with teleportation, because before I teleport, you can turn around and run away." Lu En complimented.
It was only then that a voice came: "But it doesn't make sense, my path has come to an end." ”
A huge vulture came out from the side, almost twice the size of the one leading the way, with shiny feathers and smooth fur, and walked up to Lu En's side with its head held high.
"Hello, Eagle King." Lu En looked around at the lack of any furniture in the human sense, so he simply found a tree stump and sat down, and greeted the giant vulture.
The Eagle Horse King glanced at the Eagle Horse who led the way, and the other party immediately left, leaving Lu En and the Eagle King face to face.
"Hello, King of Monsters, or should I call you Count Angler? Which title do you think is better for you? The Vulture King's voice smacked of a mature middle-aged man.
"The former, I don't have a sense of belonging to the empire, I joined the empire, but just to survive." Lu En didn't seem to care very much, and put his cane aside: "Do you have any ideas for delivering the news this time?" ”
"I think, my plan, the king of monsters, you should understand very well, you want to form a new political party, unite the new nobles of monsters, this is a good plan, we have planned many times, but they all failed because of lack of strength, and you, how do you want to avoid this failure?" The Eagle Horse King asked Lu En.
"Before I answer this question, I want you to answer me a question, what are you afraid of? Not only the Eagle Horse clan, but also many more people, why didn't anyone take the initiative to find me, not even contact, and in the end, it was only when I took the initiative to go out that I learned about your very secret message, there must be some reason behind this. Lu En did not rush to answer, but asked his own question.
“…… Of course, we know you're going to ask this question, but you look at this and you'll understand everything. The other party took out a crystal with a rune engraved on it with his front paws.
"Huh? Magical teleportation? No, this rune is a combination rune, let me see, the effect should be a recording screen, this is something that reproduces a certain scene? Something, secret talks? Lu En took the small crystal, and was about to activate the magic inside.
But at this time, the Eagle Horse King reminded: "Don't break it, we don't have many mages, and most of the mages in the empire are in the academy...... But monsters, it's hard to get into, we've tried to set up our own academy, but nothing has improved, and before, you moved the whole thing to Nello. ”
"Heh, I can make a thousand of this thing with my hand, it's just a small thing, the problem of the lack of mages among the monsters, as long as the current situation is solved, I can help you solve this matter, and the personal teaching of magic 9 will definitely solve your troubles." Lu replied as he began to watch the contents.
The contents are simple, a woman dressed as a maid, holding another crystal, reads the contents to the Vulture King.
The whole picture is silent, and it is not known what is being read, but it is night all around, and the rest of the place is pitch black.
But Lu En's just by looking at the maid knew why.
Nasha, the head maid of Duke Wald's family, is a maid with a completely different temperament from Kara9.
is also a maid 9, Carla belongs to the type that ignores outsiders and is absolutely loyal to her master, she doesn't like to deal with others, but she is strong at doing dirty work, whether it is assassination or slaughtering the city, she does things cleanly, and will never oppose Lu En's opinion, and regards everyone's life, including her own, as a mustard.
Seriously, she is regarded as a mustard, there is no essential difference between killing one and killing 10 million in Kara's eyes, her emotions are very different from those of humans themselves, and there may even be no such thing as empathy and compassion at all, and it may be difficult for normal humans to understand the logic of Kara's actions.
Because, when human beings see other people suffering, they will also have a certain amount of empathy, and when they see someone in pain, such as sticking a toothpick in their toenails and kicking the wall, even if it is not themselves who suffers, they will definitely gasp and can't help but clasp their toes.
That's empathy.
But Carla is completely different, she doesn't feel at all when she encounters this situation, she can't understand others, this is the reason why she has always been cold, she is always immersed in her own world, and her own feelings are the first priority.
Nasha, on the other hand, is the other extreme opposite Kara, even if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu En has heard a lot of rumors.
The Empire's very famous chief maid, gentle and thoughtful, equally respectful and warm to anyone, was the chief of the entire Wald family, and almost all affairs came out of the Duke of Wald, passed through Nasha, and then passed below.
Moreover, this is still a big thing, if it is a lot of small things, most of her decisions are made by herself, handled perfectly, not dragging the mud and water at all, she can always handle everything just right, will not let the owner have major losses, and can always earn considerable long-term benefits for the owner, not because of a small profit to lose the big head, can make everyone like a spring breeze.
It can even be said that one day, Duke Wald disappeared, and it was not his children who came out to preside over the overall situation, but this Aunt Nasha, and no one would even have an opinion, she was the real third-in-command of the Wald family, and even in some cases, higher than the mistress of the family, Silver Leaf.
Because Silver Leaf generally takes her opinion into account, and it is used as a very heavy reference.
Not to mention, this mature woman who always smiles kindly, keeps bowing, and gives people a gentle feeling is actually a real level 9, and there is a group of maids under her.
Speaking of which, the maid group seems to be like dozens of miscellaneous people in the family, but in fact, this maid group has thousands of people! And it's all professionals, with a minimum level of 2 and a maximum level of 7! This is the kind that you may not lose if you go head-to-head with the Emperor's forbidden army!
Such a Nasha came forward in person, and what this represents, it goes without saying.
"Duke Wald? I met you a month ago and made you wary of me? Wary of the new party of the King of Monsters? Lu En's pupils shrank, and he asked sharply at the Eagle Horse King!
That's right, this is the information he sees, through the arrangement of stars and moons in the sky, he can guess the time, and through the runes inside, he can roughly judge the information inside.
This video alone contains a lot of information.
Duke Wald, even a month ago, sent Nasha over in advance, I don't know what to tell these monster tribes, preventing them from coming to contact him! (See chapter 280 for details.) )
It's no wonder that when he arrived, at the drinking party where he appeared, there were never other monsters, and the winged snake king who suddenly bumped into him, the other party also left in a hurry, and after he spread the information himself, no one came to take the initiative to come.
It turns out that a month ago, the Duke of Wald had foreseen this and responded to it!
"What did she offer you? Since the Walds are taking the lead, can I think of what promises the traditional Conservatives have made to you? Otherwise, I don't think that a simple threat can keep many new nobles safe until now. Lu En's expression became much more serious.
"It's not that serious, the king of monsters, whatever the Conservatives promise, can't compare to the temptation of a new party, the point of the question is, how many seats do we have in the Reichsta? Once a party is formed, how will it be implemented? The Eagle Horse King said in a deep voice.
"You're the Earl of the Border, and you're going to have your place soon, and you're still in the front row, but many of us don't have enough seats in Parliament, and if the parties want to influence the policy release, they must have enough seats and get enough votes in Parliament, how are you going to solve this problem, and then in terms of implementation, what bills are you going to use to get enough support in the meeting?"
The Vulture King's question was straight to the heart and hit the nail on the head, but he didn't answer Lu En's question head-on, and both sides were using rhetorical questions instead of answers, so as to avoid answers.
However, Lu En came with sincerity, he didn't want to go on in this endless temptation, so he simply spread his hands: "The number of seats, it depends on you, according to my plan for various forces, if we succeed, we should be able to get about thirty seats, including the Eagle Horse clan, you have two seats, but this is the best situation, even according to this estimate, thirty seats, it only accounts for 7% of the total, even if it is a small party, it is almost impossible to have the possibility of making its own proposals, I can only swing among the big parties and make a profit from the votes in my hand, so I have not done anything about the proposal at all. Lu En said frankly about his arrangement.
"A party with a maximum of thirty or at least a dozen seats has too little to say, and even if two big parties compete and start to woo others for a certain policy, these dozen votes are too weak." Lu En concluded.
"So, I'd like to take a different path, you know about the Styx Water Plant, right?" He looked at the Eagle Horse King.
"Styx Waterworks...... Do you want to use Hellice to fight for the first decree? This is a very heavy bargaining chip, I have heard, you are actually a king's blood, the probability of success is very high, no matter which party it is, will be willing to support you, so what is the decree you want to implement? The first is the key to the establishment of a party. The Eagle Horse King reminded.
The first decree proposal is actually for the members of the party, and it is about the program, and a party cannot be just a pure collection of interests, if there is no program, it will be scattered, and it will fight with itself, so there must be a program to unite the entire party.
"The first decree is very simple, my proposal is to establish a monster academy in Angleo, and several preferential policies are proposed around this academy, one of the key points is me, I propose as the leader of the consortium of the monster race, the monster academy is not subject to the constraints of the academy, everything is for the sake of the cultivation of monster talents and future generations, the academy does not accept the deployment of the imperial education system, and enjoys partial autonomy like the magic city of the Three Ring Council!"
"Aren't you short of mages? Send someone here, and I will personally teach you a good mage! Monsters lack professionals, because we don't have a lot of professional training methods, we can only rely on natural skills to eat, it doesn't matter, the academy will train a large number of professionals, I have already made a deal with the alchemist Lieta, and even I have a group of celestial apostles who are willing to teach knowledge here! ”
"An academy similar to the Three-Ring Council, it is still within the scope of the empire's patience, and it has a lot of benefits for monsters, I have been preparing for this for a long time, it only takes ten years, so that all the monster tribes can make up for enough middle-level professionals, and in the long run, it will also have great benefits, and our party represents the interests of the new nobles of the monsters, and our program is to ensure the status of the new nobles of the monsters, and all the goals are for this!" Lu En raised his head and looked at the Eagle Horse King with blazing eyes: "What do you think, how is this proposal?" ”
"Academy? You're really ...... Awesome, this will definitely attract a lot of follow-up retaliation, but it can really impress a lot of people! The Eagle King's hooves became a little short, and his breathing intensified.
