"Please wait a minute." I motioned not to send the little girl out yet, and the White Shark Patriarch immediately nodded to her wife.

As soon as the little girl was let go, she immediately ran to me and asked me with tears in her eyes, "You agreed?" ”

I shook my head, "I haven't thought about it yet, you calm down first, let me think about it a little, this is not a small business after all." ”

"Don't make a fuss, come and sit down." The patriarch pulled the little girl back to her side and pressed her to her seat, and then continued to wait for me to make a statement, and the room was quiet for a while. If you think about it carefully, this thing is definitely not trivial, and you will lose all the games if you make a mistake. The White Shark Clan's current position is hostile to ours, but that doesn't mean it can't be converted into a positive relationship. It seems that we do not have a substantial hostile relationship, and the current reason for the hostility is because of the allies. Little Japan is an ally of the White Shark Clan, we are an ally of the Merfolk Clan, and the White Shark Clan and the Merfolk are really hostile relations. We have basically no intersection with the White Shark Clan, at least not in direct contact, and there is no hostility at all.

Now the key to determining whether to help the White Shark Clan is the profit, whether the interest of leaving this race is greater or the interest of killing is greater, this is the key. Eliminating the White Shark Clan, Atlantis will be the dominant family after that, which doesn't seem to be a good thing. An ally who is too strong may become the enemy of tomorrow, this is what Dad said, there should be none. But if there is no White Shark Clan, Little Japan's source of science and technology will also be cut off, which is a huge benefit, which is conducive to our long-term control of the sea. If you want us to keep the White Shark Clan, we can contain the Merfolk Clan, lest they become too strong. If the merfolk clan is too strong, the conditions of the alliance will no longer exist. Then a war at sea is inevitable. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to defeat the merfolk navy, it's too hard! Leaving the White Shark Clan behind may not allow them to have a long-term relationship with Little Japan, so maybe they can use this opportunity to negotiate with them.

After much consideration, I decided to ask tentatively. "Can I ask about something irrelevant before I make a decision? I'm new to the guild, and I don't know much about it, and I'm even a little confused. ”

"Absolutely." The White Shark didn't want to offend me over this little thing, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Well, that's right, I want to know who contacted you in the first place to make this business happen?"

"Do you want to know how we met?" The patriarch looked at me and nodded and continued to answer: "It's my daughter, she met Matsumoto-kun when she was playing on the water, and was rescued by Matsumoto-kun as a shipwreck. ”

Will Matsumoto save people? I think it's because this girl is beautiful! But this is not something to say right now, "So how do you talk about this business?" ”

"It was when we went to pick up the sparkle that Matsumoto took a fancy to our ship, and he thought that our technology was very advanced and wanted to buy it."

I continued, "You guys just asked for magic crystals by the way, didn't you?" ”

"Yes, yes."

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "I want to ask a question, and I hope you will answer me directly without caring about your face. ”

"Please."

"If someone else comes to trade with you now, as long as the terms are more favorable, will you definitely trade with them and ignore us?" The patriarch was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and wanted to open his mouth and close it again, I added: "As long as you answer me truthfully, don't take into account our feelings, I want to know the true answer." Trust me, as long as you tell the truth, I won't blame you. ”

The patriarch of the White Shark Clan finally nodded and said, "Yes, we will sell it." To put it mildly, we are just two sides of the transaction, and we have no affection or credibility to speak of. That's all we have, and we can trade them for more crystals, and we certainly won't refuse. It's hurtful, but don't be surprised, after all, we're just talking about business. I won't disagree with someone offering a better price, there's no need to trade with you. ”

"Hahahaha!" I suddenly laughed, startling the other person, "Don't be nervous, I'm very satisfied with your answer, to be exact." "They're all messed up by me, and I don't know what kind of medicine I'm selling in my gourd." Now sit down, I have a secret to tell you, don't get excited. ”

They all nodded their heads to indicate that they were ready. The patriarch took a drink and drank it, and then said, "Say it!" ”

"Actually, I'm the one sent by the merfolk to stop this transaction."

Peng, the three of them stood up together and glared at me, not glaring at me but surprised. The news was so shocking that no one could accept it. Think about how you can react if someone close to you suddenly tells you that he is an assassin who has come to assassinate you?

After all, the patriarch is the patriarch, and he was the first to react, "You're not afraid that we will use force against you?" ”

I still said unhurriedly: "Since I dare to say it, I am not afraid of what you will do." I'm still confident in my own strength, and even though I can't beat you, it's still not a problem to escape. The crew outside are all adventurers, and death is only a momentary pain, and when they turn around, they will be resurrected. Their equipment is all guild suits, and they can't explode if they want to, and even if they die, there is nothing to lose. That ship was indeed from Matsumasa Motoga, who came to trade with you today, but unfortunately I intercepted it halfway, so I don't feel sorry if you sink it. As for the magic crystal on it, don't think about it, we put a bomb in it, and you can't pick it out for an hour. And I can detonate them at any time to make sure you don't get a single shard. In addition, I don't know if you know, the magic crystal is usually very safe, but if it is detonated with enough explosives, the explosive power of the magic crystal itself is even more fierce than the explosives. If all that ship of magic crystals explodes, there won't be a single one left in your fleet. I'm satisfied enough to pull so many of you on your backs. ”

"You're ......!" The three of them sat back in their seats weakly. "What do you want?" They are now like defeated roosters, unable to speak.

"I want to help you."

"What?" The three of them looked up at me together, their eyes wide, "What did you just say?" You say you want to help us? ”

That's what I'm trying to do, to be so sad that I can be so happy that my thoughts are constantly impacting and completely disrupting their thinking. Let them despair to the point of wanting to commit suicide first, and then give a glimmer of hope. At this time, you are a flashlight in the dark, definitely brighter than a searchlight in the sun, and sending charcoal in the snow is always more touching than icing on the cake.

"You heard me right, I just want to help you, otherwise I wouldn't have to talk to you so politely. If I really want to harm you, I will sell you the magic crystal with the bomb after the business is done, and then detonate it when I am out of a safe distance. Not only will you not be able to get the magic crystal, but you will also send a fleet and you three royal family members for nothing, this blow is worse than anything else! I don't want to help you. ”

"You are truly the greatest man, and on behalf of all of the White Shark Clan, I thank you for your kindness." The patriarch of the White Shark Clan was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Stop." I stopped him from kneeling. "Don't get too excited. Helping you guys is for sure, but I'm not a charity, and gratuitous assistance is impossible. ”

"Either way, as long as we can get the magic crystal to stay alive, we have to thank you." Although he said so, his movements were not as fanatical as Gang's.

"Actually, I don't have any excessive requirements, as long as I trade according to the original plan. And you can't trade any technology with Little Japan in the future, I want to get the exclusive right to operate your magic crystal, and there can't be a second magic crystal merchant. In exchange, I guarantee a long-term stable supply of magic crystals. But you must no longer have contact with little Japan. Otherwise, don't blame me for blocking your supply of Earth Demon Crystals. To tell you the truth, I can stop you a second time if I can stop it. No matter how much little Japan transports, I will intercept all of them, so it's best not to try to smuggle magic crystals. Other than that, I'd like you to have a good conversation with the merfolk. ”

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised, I feel that you two don't seem to be incompatible, and negotiations are good for everyone."

"But we ......!"

"Don't make excuses, I'm not talking to you, it's a decision. Your choice is to accept or reject, no bargaining. ”

After more than ten minutes of silence, the White Shark Patriarch finally nodded with difficulty, "I can consider communicating, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful." We weren't hostile for a day or two, and the Merfolk and the White Shark had never communicated by any means other than force before, but this time, for the sake of my people's survival, I agreed to negotiate. ”

"Courageous." I applauded, "A new era of the ocean is coming, and trust me, you've made the right decision." ”

The White Shark Patriarch said, "Don't be too easy, your business is more than that. Hazel needs your persuasion and persuasion from the merfolk and not us, and they are the ones who have suffered the most in the years of war. I agree that the negotiation is only about our arrogance, and the merfolk have more to face, so be prepared. If your relationship with them is not strong enough, I recommend that you not mention this matter to them, as you may be thrown out by them. ”

"Since I've said it, you're sure of it, you don't need to worry about this, now let's discuss our deal."

"yes, what are you going to do with that?"

"Of course the magic crystal will let you take it, and I will give you the detonator with me."

"You're not afraid we'll go back?" The White Shark Patriarch asked.

I asked rhetorically, "Can you live your whole life with this?" ”

"Good! …… Please continue! ”

"I see that your White Shark Clan's technology doesn't seem to be particularly powerful, and Atlantis's information is very inaccurate on this point. But your ships are far superior to the merfolk warships, and the problem seems to be coordination. The technology of the merfolk is very advanced, but many things cannot be effectively used and used, and your warships fully demonstrate your technology. It seems that your race is a little more hands-on, and better at translating technology into products. This is probably why the merfolk think you are more advanced, and they are always desperately researching magic technology to catch up with you, but they don't know that their technology has already surpassed you, but they lack the ability to transform. ”

"This is also new news for us," said the patriarch, "I thought they were just technologically backward." ”

"You really don't know each other very well, I really don't know how you got over the years! I decided that this is the ship, plus 500 technicians and their families, plus your daughter. ”

"Why?"

"Your technology is not as good as that of the fish, and your technology is not very useful, but your technicians are more useful. I want them to see the mermaid's skill count, and then help me build a ship. In order to prevent technology leaks, these people will not be able to return to you, so ask their families to go with them. As for your daughter, do you know what a hostage is? ”

"That's it!" They seemed relieved, "I thought you wanted her to be an underwater monitor!" ”

"I'm asking her to be an underwater monitor! You can also be a hostage by the way. ”

"No, absolutely not." Mrs. White Shark hugged her daughter tightly and did not let go.

The little girl broke free from her mother's control, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mom, don't be like this. If it's for everyone, I do. I couldn't help it, but I had to do it. As soon as she finished speaking, the family of three hugged each other and began to cry.

I quickly stopped, "Stop...... Stop...... Stop......! Is there a mistake? So many of your technologies have been sold, can one monitor technology be like this? How do you make a monitor like life and death? ”

The patriarch said in a trembling voice: "It's not a matter of technology, we can give away the technology of the underwater detector for nothing, but ...... But......! We can't afford to lose our daughter! ”

"What does this have to do with your daughter?"

The patriarch wiped his tears and looked at me stunned, "Didn't you want her to be a monitor?" ”

"Yes! So what's going on? I won't abuse her, and I'll send her back when your negotiations are over. ”

"Huh?" The three of them looked at me together and were stunned. After a long time, the patriarch slapped his forehead and said, "It's me who forgot about it!" What you may not know is that this detector is not just a machine. Crafting it requires a portion of the organs of a living member of the White Shark Royalty, so each completion of the probe means the loss of a life. ”

"Huh? That's it! I'm so sorry, I don't know! I thought it was just assembling a machine! Then don't use this, as long as she's a hostage. Until the end of the negotiations. ”

"What if the negotiations fail? If you detain people, how can we talk about it, anyway, it must be obeyed. ”

"If the negotiations fail, I'll send her back to your clan first, and then kill you all together. Maybe I'm a demon, but I'm also a demon of principle. ”

"I want you to keep your word."

"I'm a businessman, I can be inhuman, I can be immoral, but I can't be without credit. The most important thing for a soldier is loyalty, and the most important thing for a businessman is credit. ”

"Please prove it to me with your actions!" The white shark patriarch shook hands with me excitedly.

I stood up and said, "So that's it, do you have technicians now?" ”

"Yes, there is a dock in this ship, so I brought a lot of technicians, and their families are usually technicians, so they came with me."

"That's so much more convenient, let's start the handover! Get all of your men out of the ship, except for the technicians. Of course, Her Royal Highness the little princess wants to stay. I'll let my subordinates ...... the magic crystals Startled! This one...... Wait a minute! "Holy! I almost forgot about it, there are still a lot of fakes in the magic crystals on the ship, and if I give them back, it will be a big trouble, and my reputation will be ruined. It was originally a one-shot deal, but now it doesn't matter, but now the situation has changed. "Hey, hey! It will take time for you to evacuate so many ships, you withdraw slowly, and I will go back first to help you prepare the magic crystal. ”

"Yes."

I hurried back to the Sakura, and while they were evacuating, we began to work frantically separating the magic crystals. It's really shooting yourself in the foot. Mixing sand into the rice, and now I have to pick out the sand again, it's really dizzy! Fortunately, make good marks, otherwise you would have died one by one!

Fortunately, the MMs of the guild were quick with their hands and feet, and they immediately started the separation work after receiving my notice. At the end of the evacuation mission of the Great White Shark over there, the separation on this side was also over. After loading the magic crystal onto the White Shark Clan's ship, I watched the White Shark Clan's warships disappear into the sea one by one, and only the Sakura and the Great White Shark remained. This big guy is really big, it's a mobile dock. Then a large pile of magic crystals is not bad for such a large submarine, at least it can be used for assault. It's definitely not a problem to transport 180,000 troops at a time.

"Alright, girls, let's go home! They're all gone. ”

"Cut!"

"Scared the hell out of me!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I was immediately beaten by the MMs, "Damn! You want to do it! ”

"Who made you so nervous, caused me to have another wrinkle!" A mm channel.

Another mm said: "My heart is in my throat, and I was almost scared to death when they rushed up!" ”

I pulled a mm to my side, grabbed her hand, and drew her sword. "What is this? This is not a burning stick, they are fierce, you will not be more fierce than them, look at your little bit of appearance, like a man? ”

The crowd replied in unison, "We are not like men, because we are women." And you, go die! As I spoke, I was kicked into the sea by seven or eight mms together.

"Hahahaha!" The little princess standing on the Jaws saw me being kicked into the water by the girls, and immediately forgot the pain at the beginning and laughed.

I came out of the water and pointed at her, "What are you laughing at?" You're a hostage, eh! Throw her down! ”

The mm behind the princess was divided by two and even threw her down, but the princess immediately turned into a big fish tail as soon as she got out of the water, and the upper body was still a human body. "Haha, I'm a white shark, eh, throw me into the water!"

"Don't mess with me, or I'll throw you into the crater."

The princess immediately covered her mouth nervously and stopped talking. I rubbed her blonde hair, "Little flower in the greenhouse, you will experience wind and rain in the future, pray that the negotiation is successful!" I don't want to turn you into a withered flower. "Immediately pull her up onto the White Shark." Alright, let's go! ”

Although the White Shark is large, it makes little difference to the number of pilots of advanced ships. It is true that many people are needed for the weapon system, but only a dozen people in charge of navigation are enough, and there are enough technicians left.

While it was time for the battleship to return, I looked at the technical data map of the Great White Shark, and this guy was actually a movable dock. It was about the same size as the Noah, and was mostly empty in the middle. The internal dock can dock 80 warships at the same time, it is a small port, and there are complete living and working areas here, and there is a maintenance dock, which can repair the battleship at any time, if we had this thing, there would be no Victory incident!

In addition to being able to dock ships, its firepower is also quite terrifying. This thing is equipped with more than 30,000 guns, large and small, and the firepower has caught up with the last fleet. And this thing has a lot of torpedo projectiles, except that it uses a direct-sailing torpedo. In addition, the function of its huge shark dorsal fin was finally found. The dorsal fin was a single piece of high-strength alloy collider, and with the inertia generated by the ship's size, it was possible to cut the enemy ship in half like tofu.

Finally, looking at the power structure of this thing, this guy has 10 thrusters. Eight of them are mounted on the left and right fins, and the other two are on the tail fins. On the side are turbofan thrusters, which are relatively small. Two jet thrusters on the tail with very high power. Each of these two thrusters weighs 1,000 tonnes and produces a thrust that kneades steel balls into a steel cake like kneading dough. It's a miracle that such a huge battleship won't break because of the structure!

"Great, isn't it?"

The voice that suddenly appeared behind me startled me, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are now a hostage, please be a little hostage, okay!" I won't imprison you, and you won't run around! ”

"My name is Sparkle, you don't have to call me a princess."

"I'm not talking to you about this, I'm talking about your identity, hoping that you can do what a captive, a hostage should do."

"That ......, in fact, I'm here to ask you about it. You've been telling my dad that you want me to be a hostage, but I don't know what a hostage is, can you explain it to me? Why are you dizzy? …… Someone's coming...... Your leader fainted...... Yes! He also spits bubbles! ”

Oh, my God! How could she be such a living princess! I jumped up from the ground and said, "I'm called foaming at the mouth, it's not a bubble spit, a crab is spitting bubbles!" ”

"Oh! It turns out that this is called foaming at the mouth! So can you explain what a hostage is? Her big twinkle eyes looked at me expectantly.

"I knew I would have made your mother a hostage!" Thousands of calculations have missed this calculation! "Hostage is ......!" I really don't know how to explain it for a while! "That's it...... It is......! ”

"What's it?"

"That's it...... It is...... It's insurance, mortgages, guarantees, you know? "I'm in a hurry, my Japanese is out!

The princess looked at me with an innocent look in her eyes, then shook her head, "Still don't understand! ”

I rushed to the door, opened the door and shouted outside, "Come here." ”

A mm was called to the door by me, "What's the matter with the president?" ”

I shoved the princess beside her: "From now on, you are responsible for answering her questions, and you will explain to her what she asks." As long as it's not a guild secret, you can say anything! ”

Call! Finally solved! It's horrible! After closing the door, I went back to look at the number of jù, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Treasure Island. When the Red Moon saw the Great White Shark, their jaws fell, especially King Chuang, who was as excited as a child who saw a toy, and would not go, so he jumped directly.

After the fleet assembled, it began to turn back to Isengard, of course, the ghost fleet was to stay, and the task of arranging this stage for them was to intercept all Japanese ships that tried to approach the White Shark Clan's activity area, regardless of whether they were military or not. Little Japan is being held this time, and I will definitely find a way to contact the White Shark Clan, and I must completely stop them. Moreover, the success of the negotiations between the White Shark Clan and the Merfolk Clan also depends on this interception operation.

The biggest reason the White Sharks agreed to negotiate was that they were afraid that I would cut off their lifeline at sea, and now was the time for me to show my strength. They also know that Little Japan will not end lightly, and will definitely continue to find a way to contact them. If little Japan succeeds, it means that we are not capable of blocking sea communications, and there is no hope for negotiations. If little Japan is unable to get through the blockade line, which means that we have the ability to strangle them at any time, then they must be obedient, and what is on the negotiating table will ultimately have to be backed up by actual force.

This time I went back for a short rest, and I will be back soon, and it will be difficult for the ghost fleet to blockade this place alone. In order to facilitate contact, I have agreed on the contact information. If she has a report or a request for instructions, she will pile up words with stones in the designated area of the island, and Babelta has someone in charge of keeping an eye on it at all times, and she can sue me when she sees the words. And we have an order to write on the ground with Babelta's aiming red line, and they can come and follow it whenever they see the red line, and the trouble is a little troublesome, but it is now the longest-range global satellite communication system. It's a pity that the undead don't know Morse code, otherwise they would have just flashed with a red line to send a telegram.
