Chapter 31: Negotiation I

(Since the last article was not very well written, readers have opinions, I revised this chapter and wrote it well, and sent it together with today's update, forgive me)

Kayilu blinked, as if she couldn't understand what Xia Di was saying, "Are you talking to me about conditions?" ā€

"Yes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Xia Di shrugged.

He knew he was in a weak position from the start, but because of that, he had to put on a strong posture.

When he was in prison, he figured out that if he wanted to get out of such a situation, running away was definitely not a good way to go.

That's why he held this negotiation.

Kayilu sighed deeply and looked at Xia Di with an incomprehensible expression: "I refuse, this deal can't be established." ā€

"Why?"

"Give me the sword."

A strong binding force spread throughout Xia Di's body, but it was only for a moment, and it automatically dissipated, Xia Di smiled slightly and said, "Then I will refuse too." ā€

"Huh?"

"I said no."

Kayiru frowned and said again, "I order you, give me the sword." ā€

"I can't say it's okay." Xia Di pretended to be impatient, "You didn't agree to trade with me." ā€

Kayilu looked at the back of Xia Di's left hand and saw that the mark on the back of his hand was shining, indicating that they were still in a master-slave relationship, but Xia Di refused her order. Kayilu realized something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"It's better for you to make a decision quickly." Xia Di said in a tone of "I'm good for you", "Otherwise, even if you ask me to take it out at that time, I don't know where the things are." ā€

Xia Di sighed: "At that time, you only had to ask the weapon shop or pawnshop. ā€

"What do you mean?" Cairu was stunned.

"I sold the weapon to them a few hours ago."

"What!?"

Seeing Kayilu's pale face, Xia Di smiled secretly in his heart, he finally took the lead in this negotiation.

It was a lie to sell the weapon, and it was still in his package, but as long as the girl didn't know it, he had hope.

"That's why I advise you to move fast." Xia Di hugged his shoulders, "The pawnshop is okay, things can be stored for three days, the weapon shop will not necessarily, if someone likes that weapon, maybe it will be gone now." ā€

Kayilu looked at Xia Di with a gloomy face, she was silent for a while, and said in an inquiring tone, "You're lying again, aren't you?" ā€

Xia Di's face was flat, in fact, the power of the contract made him involuntarily, and he couldn't help but want to nod and tell the truth, but he still insisted on smiling and said, "How is this possible." ā€

"Tell me! Where the hell are the weapons? ā€

"I'm just telling the truth."

Xia Di felt a sense of lightness all over his body due to the loss of physical strength, but he still maintained his consciousness, scratching the back of his head with one hand, pretending to be indifferent.

Up to three times.

He thought to himself that if Kayilu insisted on asking again, plus the two times just now, he would be able to resist the order at most once.

In fact, Kayiru had already given him four orders, but he managed to survive by using a method to invalidate the first two orders. And the trick of this method is to distort the truth.

This is a very simple logical question, and the obedience of the squire to the order involves objective facts.

For example, everyone has what they want to do and what they don't want to do, as well as what they can do and what they can't do, and the contract command can force the will of the attendant and change the content of the order into what the attendant wants to do, but if the attendant who can't fly is asked to fly in the sky, and the attendant who can't do magic uses magic, it will not be able to do things beyond his ability. Xia Di deliberately dominated the right to speak before, deceived the other party, and controlled the direction of the conversation, precisely because he saw this.

Xia Di's intention was to let the other party order him to do what he couldn't do.

For example, at the beginning, he said that he would exchange his sword for freedom with Kailu.

But Kayiru was unable to command him to hand over the sword to himself, not because he was unwilling...... It's because he really doesn't have a sword on him.

Kayilu had a misunderstanding from the very beginning, she thought that Xia Di got a sword from the dungeon, but in fact, Xia Di got a dagger in the dungeon, and it was stuck in stone.

Thus, in the case of different cognitions, Kailu's command is neutralized.

And the one who deliberately did not expose this misunderstanding, but emphasized the sword itself, was Xia Di.

"The point is that the noise dominates."

Xia Di thought silently.

If it were other players, I wouldn't have discovered this a long time ago, because they often use squires in the game and are quite familiar with the pattern of orders, but Xia Di is different, his relationship with squires in the game is similar to that of relatives and friends or comrades-in-arms, basically letting squires develop freely, let alone forcing the other party to do things, so it took him a few hours to figure out this logic.

In this case, as long as he continues to guide the other party to give meaningless orders, he can convince the other party that the orders are not valid for him, thus giving himself an upper hand.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Staring at the man in front of her, Kairu was surprised for a while, according to what she knew, the demon should be a 100% obedient existence to the master, and why was the man in front of him disobedient? Thinking that he had kicked herself before, she couldn't help but be even more confused.

"You...... Really sold the weapon? ā€

"Of course."

"And where did you sell it, a weapon shop or a pawn shop?" Kayilu asked anxiously.

"Well, hehe, guess...... Hey, don't move your fists, don't move your fists, beat me to death, who are you going to ask? Xia Di took a step back, the two resistances just now consumed most of his physical strength, and he didn't have the strength to fight, "If you think about it carefully, Bedford is a big city with a population of 200,000, and there are no less than 10 weapon shops alone, and so are pawn shops, and you don't know what weapons look like, it's hard to find them without my tips?" ā€

"And, you may have misunderstood, I'm no ordinary demon. I'm an acolyte. Do you think that by treating those subordinate demons, I will be able to make you obedient? Xia Di did not forget to emphasize.

"Squire?" Kayiru was stunned for a moment, "So, you're human?" ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ What have you taken me for so far? Xia Di was a little speechless.

Kayiru ignored him, grimace.

Chamberlain? Mankind?

If she summoned a human being, it would not be an ordinary summoning, but a Heroic Spirit Summon, and the Heroic Spirit Summoning is an achievement that can only be achieved by a fifth-order summoner! Even the mage group of the palace is not a few people who can do it, and she actually did it? A second-order swordsman like her, who didn't rely on anyone and just relied on a broken book, did it?

Thinking of this, Kayilu felt mixed emotions, and on the one hand, she was glad that she had received the Immortal Acolyte. It is said that a demon like Heroic Spirit has at least fourth-order strength, two great realms higher than herself, and there are only about 100 fourth-order strengths in the country, how can she not be happy with such a powerful person as her subordinates?

At least at the time of the king's election, there was no doubt about the loudness of the propaganda sign.

But at the same time, she was also worried that if she couldn't control the attendants, it would be equivalent to a tree without roots, and if she didn't get it right, she would backfire on herself and worry about her life.

So, she had to hesitate.

"It's better to make a decision quickly, time waits for no one."

"Don't rush me.

Xia Di immediately closed his mouth.

He didn't subconsciously resist this order, he didn't want to waste the last trace of his physical strength in this kind of thing

After a moment of deep thought, Kayiru sighed.

"I see, let's break the contract......," Kayilu said as if she was very unwilling, and then annoyed, "but I don't know how to do so. ā€

"Huh?" ’

"It's true, I can swear by my dignity." Kayilu said, but her expression was a little pleasant, as if she was expecting the other party to respond.

"It's okay, I understand." Xia Di nodded and accepted the fact.

Of course, Xia Di had guessed this possibility before, but it was better to say that he was very sure. Because this girl is not a summoner in the first place, and she uses such a suspicious magic book as the basis for summoning, it is very normal to not know how to cancel the contract, if

I know, it's not normal.

"Then ...... you" Seeing that the other party was so indifferent, Kayilu couldn't accept it.

"In this way, let's change the content of the transaction, first of all, you sign a magic contract with me, ask for it, just three points of agreement, first, you must take the initiative to help me find a way to terminate the squire contract. Second, if I propose to break the contract, you must do it immediately, no matter what the means. Third, during the period of finding a way to terminate the contract, I will accompany you, but you can't just order me to ......" Xia Di thought for a while and said, "Let's just do this, every time you order me to do something, you must also accept an order from me within three days, which seems fairer." After the contract is completed, I will give you the weapon you want as soon as I agreed. ā€

Kailu looked suspicious. "Is it necessary, why don't you just restrict me from giving orders to you?"

Recalling the knowledge he learned in the game in the past, Xia Di said slowly: "The contract has a priority, the attendant contract is essentially higher than the magic contract, if you give an order to someone, for the contradictory part, the attendant contract will cover the magic contract, resulting in the invalidity of the magic contract, which is common sense." ā€

"Hmph...... Such. ’

Kayilu crossed her arms with an unhappy expression.
