Chapter Seventy-Five: Negotiations
Pest ...... Yes, that's why your bounty name is [Black Death Spot Demon King]! ”
"Well, that's right. Right, Lord Demon? ”
“…… Well, the correct answer. ”
The girl with a calm smile - Dresse nodded.
"Remarkable, unnamed gentleman. If it's convenient, can I ask you and the community for their names? ”
“…… Am I the Nameless Ren? Russell. ”
Hearing the name of the Community, Pace's eyes widened in surprise, and then she remembered the self-proclaimed '
Black Death' is the man of his power.
"yes, I'll remember...... Also, that red-haired boy is also a member of your community? ”
"Redhead? Could it be Li Na?! Jen said with a look of surprise.
"Sure enough......," Peste's heart sank.
"Looks like it's him." Seeing Pace's expression, Sixteen Nights also clearly guessed that Li Na was a threat to this demon king at that time.
"Is it ......?"
"Ren. Russell. ”
"Yes...... Be! Jen responded nervously, not only Sandora and Mandela, but also Ratting and Weser on the side.
"That guy isn't a good thing, and I'd advise you to think of him as a White Yaksha class...... No, even a more advanced presence as well...... If you don't believe me, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
Pest's words silenced everyone, and compared to Sandora, Sixteen Nights, who had already guessed in their hearts, showed an expression that was indeed so.
"Alright, that's the end of the topic, the time for your confirmation has been slowed down. We have been promised the right to decide when the game will restart. Of course, we've already allowed pathogens to lurk in some of our participants. That is, except for inorganic creatures and demons like Rock Eater, everyone will get sick. ”
"Woo............!"
This is the worst-case scenario. If the curse she spreads is similar to the Black Death, the minimum incubation period is two days.
If a month passes, it will lead to the death and extinction of the weak race.
They are now planning to win without a fight.
"I ...... I propose to the judgment controller! They are suspected of deliberately withholding the description of the game! Please consider it again......"
"No! Sandora-sama! Even if they spread the pathogen before the game was interrupted, the organizer still does not have to bear the responsibility of explaining. Deliberations will only give them another reason to force us to accept more favorable conditions in their favor......! ”
Shandora swallowed the words again.
Pace looked at Sandora's remorseful look with a calm smile and asked the participants: "Can it be assumed that the people present are the main force of the participants?" ”
If she could, she didn't want that man to join, although it couldn't be confirmed, but if it was really the [Human Final Trial], then she ......
Absolutely going to die!
The Demon King is the Demon King, although some Demon Kings bear the name of [Human Final Trial], but this does not mean that the Demon King is equivalent to [Human Final Trial].
If the Demon King is a natural disaster, then the [Final Trial of Mankind] is the hopeless 2012 (the end of the world).
“…………”
"Master, I think this inference is correct."
Weser replied in place of the silent participants, he was unaware of Pace's concerns, and would never have said such a thing if he had.
Even though he knew that he didn't have a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning against Li Na, Pester still chose to go down this dead end to the end, and issued a 'bluff' for the nameless Li Na -
"Then it's a good proposal - I say, everyone, if the members present and the White Yaksha are willing to join us and the rest of the [Grimm.Grimoire.Hameln] group, we can spare the other communities!"
"What!"
"I've got a crush on you, after all, Shandora is cute and Jen is smart."
"Master, the girl in the red dress I caught is also great~"
When Ratting said this flatteringly, the faces of the 'nameless' members changed.
"Then count the girl as well, and the game can be reconciled. Since you can exchange the lives of all participants, it should be considered a very cheap price, right?
With a smile, Pace tilted her head cutely, trying to make her expression look natural.
If it weren't for Sixteen Nights here but Li Na, she would never have dared to declare so arrogantly, "If you don't want to obey, you will kill everyone."
So this creepy, childish and beautiful smile overwhelmed the group.
However, Sixteen Nights and Ren still calmly analyzed the situation.
“…… This is information from Lord Whiteyasha, are you [Grimm.Grimoire.Hameln] a newly formed community? ”
"I am under no obligation to answer." Pace responds immediately, but it seems unnatural.
Sixteen Nights immediately sensed this and continued the pursuit.
"I see, an emerging community, that's why we are so hungry for excellent talents."
“…………”
"Hey, but being silent at this time would make us think it's a default, is that okay, Lord Demon?" Sixteen Nights, who found the entry point, smiled defiantly.
Pace put away her smile and stared at Sixteen Nights with a frown.
“…… So what? This does not constitute a reason for us to back down. ”
"No, it's a reason. Because you should want to get us without any casualties. If we leave the participants alone for a month, we're all going to die...... That's right, Sandora? ”
"Huh? Yes...... Well. The conversation suddenly shifted to herself, allowing Sandora to respond reflexively and casually.
Although she later panicked and wanted to correct it, Ren didn't listen to her, but continued to state: "That's right, [if you die, you won't be able to get talent], that's why you chose this time to negotiate. Because you can't afford to give up on the good people who will actually die in thirty days. ”
Ren said categorically. Although it was limited to this time, Ren was absolutely confident in his answer.
Even so, Pace responded disappreciatively..."I'll say it again, so what? We have the freedom to decide on the date of restart. Even if it doesn't take a month...... Twenty days, as long as you start the game again after twenty days, you can ...... the talents before you died."
"Then we're going to kill all the participants who have symptoms." Everyone was startled and looked back at Mandela. His eyes were very serious.
"There are no exceptions, whether it's Sandora or the [Hakoba Noble]...... Even I am. Among the comrades of the class ruler Salamandra, there are no weaklings who will surrender to the Demon King! ”
Everyone was speechless. Even in a bluff, this is an overly radical declaration.
Sixteen Nights, however, had a flash of inspiration and took the next step from Mandela's speech.
"Black Rabbit, can you change the rules now?"
"Huh...... Ah, YES! ”
The black rabbit also seemed to sense something, and vigorously erected the rabbit's ears.
"Let's negotiate, Black Death Spotted Demon King. We would like to add to the rules a clause prohibiting suicide or the killing of comrades. So start again in three days. ”
"No, two weeks."
The other party immediately refused, but two weeks was still too long.
Factoring in the time it takes to solve the puzzle is also taken into account, with the ideal interval being within a week. Sixteen Nights looked around looking for materials that could be used to negotiate, and at this time he and Black Rabbit looked at each other.
"What is your position in the current game, Black Rabbit?"
"Even though they are participants in the festival, they are currently serving as judges and cannot participate in the game for fifteen days...... If there is permission from the organizer, that is a different matter. ”
"Okay, this is it! Lord Demon, Black Rabbit is not a participant, so you can't rely on the game to recruit her. However, as long as the Black Rabbit becomes a participant, there is a chance to get started. What about the conditions? ”
“…… Ten days, no more concessions. ”
"Wait...... Wait a minute, master! You can't give permission to [Hakoniwa Noble] to participate in the war......! ”
"Because I want rabbits."
Pace responded to the anxious Ratting with a casual remark.
Ten days, a little short, still a little bit to lead to a situation of five or five waves. However, there are no other materials that can be used to negotiate. While everyone is getting their heads to speed and thinking - Jen makes up his mind and says: "We're willing to make the game ...... Additional Deadlines. ”
"What did you say?"
"The game starts again a week later, and the end time is ...... It's [24 hours after the start]. In addition, at the end of the game time, the organizer will be deemed to have won. ”
The sound of Black Rabbit and Sandora swallowing saliva rang out in the VIP room.
“…… Are you serious? Does that mean you're mentally prepared to accept a big win from the host side? ”
"Yes. In order to avoid the appearance of death, a week is the bottom line that is close to the limit. Considering the symptoms and panic that should occur in the future, this is a crucial point that the mental and physical strength can barely bear. And we can't afford it any longer. So all communities will accept unconditional surrender. ”
"............," Pace thought, putting her hand to her mouth. It was a proposal that would be beneficial to both parties.
Participants who want time to prepare and solve the puzzle.
The organizer who wants to acquire excellent talent without injury.
The time limit of one week + one day can be said to be the ideal time limit -
However, that man, she had no reason to kill that guy at all, but if she thought about it, if she let a [human final test] her own community, then ......
It was too beautiful for Pace to think about it.
