Chapter 482: Building Bridges
According to the usual practice, after taking over basic diplomatic matters, Jiang Feng and Grantham came to the private meeting hall.
"You're back a lot sooner than I thought." Grantham said as he pulled out a bottle of spirits and two glasses from the cupboard.
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect me to return here so soon." ”
"But the fact that you came to see me so soon means that the matter is still done?" Grantham, who was pouring wine, looked up at Jiang Feng and asked.
"I met with Woking, the chief of the Troll Clan, and asked him to promise him to talk to you about joining the Horde."
After pouring the wine, Grantham directly picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth first: "To be honest, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed me that you were coming, I thought that you had already done this, but I still felt too shocked to hear it with my own ears, you really did it?" ”
"I'm sure the troll's Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have the opportunity to contact you these days."
Taking a deep breath, Grantham put the already full wine glass in front of Jiang Feng, and said, "It's really hard to imagine that those stubborn trolls would be moved by you so easily, you are very powerful, I salute you." ”
Picking up the wine glass and touching it with Grantham, Jiang Feng drank all the spirits in the glass in one go.
Pouring another cup for Jiang Feng, Grantham said: "Actually, when you put forward this condition, I didn't expect you to do it at all, I just wanted to see how far you can go, in fact, you are far better than I imagined." ”
Putting down the wine bottle, Grantham looked at Jiang Feng seriously and asked, "If you still have anything you want, just ask, even if it is unreasonable, I will satisfy you." ”
Hearing Grantham's firm tone, Jiang Feng showed a smile, "The Great Chief is so reasonable, it's not in vain for me to run around." ”
After speaking, Jiang Feng stood up and said to Grantham very formally: "As a human, I have experienced a lot since I came to Karimdor, but the most valuable gain for me is to find that orcs and humans can get along amicably, and I have also seen Chief Grantham's heart that is friendly to humans. ”
Saying that, Jiang Feng raised the wine glass in front of him and stretched out to Grantham: "Whether it is against the ancient gods, or for more prosperity, I think it is the best choice for orcs and humans to cooperate for a win-win situation, so my wish is that the Great Chieftain can open up trade between the tribe and the humans." ”
Grantham didn't show much surprise after hearing this, as if he had expected it, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, Grantham curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Don't you think that as a student, you have a bit too much responsibility?" You know that you have done a great thing for the tribe as a human being. ”
"No, in my eyes, I have done a great thing for the peace between the two tribes, the radical faction is already in decline, as long as the Great Chief manages to subdue the trolls to join the tribe during this period, I believe it can become the last bargaining chip to completely crush the radical faction."
"Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for showing me such a good side of humanity. Well, I promise you that before you go back, I'll start making contact with humanity and take the step you want to see the most. ”
"Thank you, Great Chief!" Jiang Feng shouted with some emotion.
As Grantham said, as a human student, he took on a bit too much responsibility, even a bit like an idealist.
But Jiang Feng naturally also had his own thoughts, first of all, although the battle against the demon in the Regis Federation had been won one after another, but through Fang Ning's report in the [Soul] space, Jiang Feng also knew that the sacrifice of the human side was quite large, and when the war was over, it would definitely take a while to recover.
The "human weakness" situation is bound to be the best opportunity for the radicals among the orcs to increase their bargaining chips, and in fact they are actively preparing various invasion plans against the human race.
Later, after many contacts with Grantham, Jiang Feng could indeed feel that this was a wise leader, and he was close to humans not because of how much he liked them, but because he understood that only peace could bring more to the tribe.
So Jiang Feng decided that he must let Grantham win this partisan battle, whether it was for the immediate future or the distant future, Jiang Feng did not hesitate to choose to do it when he felt that he had the opportunity to build a bridge for the Alliance and the Horde, because he thought it was worth fighting for.
The two sides shook hands vigorously, and Grantham picked up the trophy and said with emotion: "Grand Chief Sal once said that humans are a very intelligent race, and cooperating with them is the best choice for the tribe. ”
"Each other, your presence as Great Chief also made me truly see the possibility of cooperation between humans and orcs, and you are a great leader."
After the business was blowing a wave, Grantham put down his wine glass and suddenly asked, "Do you think Doyle Kent can be trusted?" ”
"Not to be trusted, but worth exploiting."
"Hahahaha." Grantham laughed heartily, raised his glass and said to Jiang Feng, "This sentence is worth using. ”
After drinking his wine, Grantham walked to the window and looked into the distance, saying, "The next step to stop the war with the elves will be an important turning point between the Horde and the Alliance. After speaking, he looked back at Jiang Feng: "I believe that you will also play an important role in this matter." ”
"Well, as long as the Great Chief can control the orcs attack on the Elven border, I am confident that I can convince the Elves to make peace with you."
"After seeing the miracle you caused by the troll clan, I really don't have any doubts about your words now, don't worry, I will definitely solve this problem in the shortest possible time."
After chatting happily about some details of cooperation, Jiang Feng and his party left the central conference hall.
Seeing off Guan Ming, Jiang Feng and his party returned to their villa in a car.
Taking out the key to open the door, Jiang Feng had just taken a step in when he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the living room.
In the next second, Mi Erna appeared in the entrance and saluted Jiang Feng respectfully: "Welcome home, master." ”
Immediately afterwards, Olity also ran out and shouted to Jiang Feng, "Lord Paladin, you are finally back. ”
Olitia was still wearing the maid outfit, and she obviously had lost her previous restraints, and even took the initiative to pull up her skirt and salute Jiang Feng.
"Well, how are you staying these days?"
"Thanks to you, the stay was very good."
Changing into slippers, Jiang Feng's eyes looked back and forth between Olitia and Mi Erna for a long time, you must know that when he went out before, Olytia still hid when she saw Mi Erna, but now there seems to be no barrier between the two of them.
However, Jiang Feng didn't ask about it, but picked up a paper bag in his hand and said, "I bought some fruit and bread and came back, to taste if it suits your taste." ”
"Okay~ I have something to eat." Olitia cheered happily.
Looking at Olitya's lively appearance, Jiang Feng couldn't help but whisper to Du Ning next to him, "Was she such a lively personality before?" ”
Du Ning smiled after hearing this, and replied, "I think I have finally recovered." ”
Walking into the living room with fruits and bread, the tall huntress also saluted Jiang Feng.
"Hey, have you bought solid clothes?" Seeing that all the huntress were not wearing those punk-style clothes before, Jiang Feng said with some surprise.
"Well, Mierna bought it for us." Cynthia, the huntress's opponent, replied.
"Then ......" Jiang Feng looked at Olitia.
Without waiting for Jiang Feng to ask, Olytia replied directly: "I still can't buy a dress, but it doesn't matter, I think the maid dress is very cute." ”
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded: "You think it's okay." ”
At this time, Mierna walked over to Jiang Feng and said, "Master, do we need to start preparing dinner?" ”
"Well, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay." With that, Mierna walked to the kitchen.
"I'm here to help, too!" Olitia, who had just stuffed two grapes into her mouth, jumped up and ran after Mierna.
Jiang Feng smiled slightly when he saw it, feeling that something soft in his heart was touched.
After dinner, Jiang Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the courtyard, thinking about how to arrange the itinerary in the future.
"Paladin-sama." At this time, Olitia came to Jiang Feng's side and shouted.
Jiang Feng glanced sideways at her and said with a smile: "You just call me Jiang Feng." ”
"No, that doesn't show my reverence for you." Olitia shook her head resolutely.
"Okay, whatever you want, what's the matter?"
"Well, this one for you." Oredia held something like a purse in both hands and handed it to Jiang Feng.
"What is this?"
"I sewed a purse with wishing grass in it."
