The Art of Negotiation (Part II)
As the movement in Fair's hand became louder and louder, even Father An, who had been immersed in the 'ocean of knowledge' before, couldn't help but raise his head.
I saw that a rising fog spread out from Fair's hand, and finally formed a small fog gate.
After he saw the fog door take shape, he stretched out his left and right hands, slowly leaned into it, and then dragged out a bronze key directly from inside.
The key was huge, almost the size of a baby.
At the same time, it was so heavy that even Phil himself couldn't fully hold it.
"Can you help? It's heavy, and I'm a little too much by myself... Reluctantly..."
Fell's face flushed, and he begged for help from the man next to him.
"I thought you could do it alone!"
Wan Jie stretched out her hand, and her expression, which was originally quite relaxed, was slightly surprised the moment she touched the key.
When he noticed this, Father Ann immediately came to his aid.
So, with the joint efforts of the three of them, this key can be regarded as a complete manifestation of its true face.
The key itself has a slight patina, which seems to be a good place to be stored. There are not many patterns on it, but there are a lot of Rami Siani characters.
If you take a little time to read it, you'll see that it's actually someone's autobiography.
Other than that, Yu Siqi never saw anything special again.
Admittedly, this key is truly unique in terms of 'way of appearance', 'size and size' and 'quality of its own'. However, it really doesn't have that very precious feeling.
It's not like the book I gave to Father Ann before, or the metal flower that I just handed to me, you can't look past it at a glance and know that it's extraordinary.
Probably more than one person had such thoughts with Yu Siqi, Wan Jie pointed to it and asked after they put the key itself on the ground, "Don't mind if I ask directly, what is this?" I don't think there's such a 'key' like that. ”
"It was natural, the time when the tax collector was born, and there had already been a mechanization frenzy with Albert, and many of the old traditional crafts had completely disappeared with those 'reforms'. For example, the armory, which stores a large number of weapons and armor, requires an access card to open the gates. But a few years ago, they were only open with traditional keys.
As for the role of this key.
Let me start by telling you a story, a story that exists only in folklore.
Legend has it that many years ago, the craftsmen who built the armory received a secret order, one from the master mother herself.
Naturally, it is impossible for someone like me to know the specific content of the order. However, I was able to capture every word from many notes and letters that have been handed down from later generations. By summarizing and summarizing these 'few words', I found that the content of the order was most likely that the Mistress wanted to hide some very valuable things in a place where no one could find them. That's why she made it so secretive.
Of course, I'm willing to accept her caution and caution, after all, treasures are at stake. If it were me, I wouldn't take it lightly.
However, even the key to corroborating the rumors has already fallen into my hands. If I don't say anything else, I will not be wasting this great opportunity.
It just so happens that I owe you a favor, so why don't I share this opportunity with you as well. ”
Although Yu Siqi couldn't immediately hear any flaws in Fair's words, with the help of the ring, he still noticed something suspicious.
For example, since he had already obtained the key, why didn't he open the so-called 'Vault' himself? You know, Yu Siqi really hasn't seen the situation of taking the initiative to share wealth with others.
Besides, even if you want to appear that the gift is precious enough, there is no need to deliberately reveal this kind of 'benefit' to them.
This is not in line with ordinary people's thinking, and it is also inconsistent with Fair's character who is willing to 'lock up' even his thoughts.
It seemed that it was the same as Yu Siqi, thinking of this, Wan Jie raised her eyebrows: "I see, you're afraid you're entertaining me, Fair." ”
"I don't understand what the tax collector said."
Fell pretended to be 'harmless to humans and animals', and after realizing that it didn't work at all, he simply gave up.
"Took the initiative to inform us of the rumors, and at the same time made a big fanfare and even took out the 'key'. None of this is in line with your Fell's character! Do you really think I'm stupid, or do you think I'm easier to deceive? ”
Wan Jie asked with a frown.
"This, to say that I have no selfish intentions, that is absolutely impossible. If I don't have the selfish intentions, I would have gone to get the treasure myself, and I wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell you, would I?
However, the last door can only be opened by someone who has a close connection with the master mother. That's why I'm here to make this decision.
But then again, if I can find out what's inside, even if I let Fell go home empty-handed, I'm... Willing. ”
Fell finally told the truth, and there was no confusion in his words. On the contrary, because he said this, Father Ann couldn't help but applaud.
"Isn't it good to 'open the skylight and speak brightly' at the beginning? Why make each other start to have suspicion and suspicion before the showdown? ”
Father Ann looked at Fell playfully and said.
"Isn't this still a fluke, thinking that I can take advantage of it a little. As a result, you were beaten back to their original shape in the next second. You're probably the hardest person I've ever met. ”
Fell sat on the key, held his cheeks, tilted his head and said.
"It's not a commendable act to always like to calculate others. Speaking of which, what was the deal you wanted to make with us? ”
Father An, who had already tucked the book into his arms, lifted the zipper of his collar with his hand and asked.
"Are you finally willing to talk about business? Actually, my deal is very simple, you kill Demi for me, and I will tell you the command code to recall the mourning ship group. With this code, you should be able to control the war machines for anything. ”
Fell straightened his seat, both eyes looking straight ahead of him, and said.
"I don't understand, Demi was resurrected by you, and now you want us to kill him. What are you trying to do all this? ”
Yu Siqi looked at Fair angrily and said.
"There are two reasons for resurrecting Demi.
First, I had to do what my master had assigned, so that I could get the key information I wanted from him.
Second, as someone who has hated Demi very much in his life, I am naturally very happy that he will be in that situation. It's just that I misestimated the strength of his transformation.
Naively, I thought I could easily get rid of him, but instead I was chased by the electric current emitted by his body like a 'street rat'. ”
Phil held out two fingers and explained his reasons to them one by one.
This is also completely true, Yu Siqi can hear it, and so do others.
"To sum up, I actually had no choice at that time."
After confirming that everyone believed what he said, Fair added with a wry smile.
"Oh, there's always an extra option."
Father Ann put his hand on his shoulder and patted it lightly.
