Negotiations start now?

In the empty hall, the magic gems engraved in the ornate and intricate sculptures overhead cast a multicolored light, illuminating the hall.

Of the seven people, only one representative from the headquarters made the decision.

At this moment, facing Cheng Lin, who was sitting on the throne, the headquarters representative was slightly stunned, and then he was silent for three seconds, and his demeanor returned to normal.

"Okay."

There is no nonsense, since it is confirmed that the other party is the representative of the elf side this time, then there is no reason to be verbose.

Time is precious for both sides.

"Please allow me to introduce again, we are the national representatives of the Xia Kingdom on Earth, and I am also the leader of this team, Xu Ji."

The man in the uniform of a civilian official with a small lapel wears gold-rimmed glasses, is tall, with good facial features, fair complexion, and a polite manner, with a faint majesty between his eyebrows.

Standing in the midst of a group of cultivators, he had his own bearing, in a strange place, facing the bronze throne calmly, without the slightest restraint.

Cheng Lin secretly admired, not to mention anything else, just talking about this appearance and bearing, it can be seen that the Special Management Department has really put a lot of effort into choosing a representative.

"Thank you for your care along the way, I don't know what to call it?" Xu Ji, the representative of the headquarters, asked.

Cheng Lin leaned on the throne in a comfortable posture, pretending not to understand and waiting for the translation.

After that, he smiled lightly, pointed to the clothes on his body, and said casually, "Just call me a black robe." ”

Black robe?

Is it so casual?

Xu Ji was stunned, he was ready to memorize the name of an elf.

If he knew Cheng Lin, he would definitely not be so surprised, after all, as a naming waste, Cheng Lin's style of naming has always been simple and rude.

Black flags, black whistles...... Now there's another black robe......

"The name is just a code name, I don't care about these things, let's get to the point, for your country, or the earth, through the information sent back by General Harold before, we have a preliminary understanding."

"Along the way, I believe you also have a basic understanding of our world, and you have expressed enough friendliness in the previous simple conversation, but after all, it is you who have entered our land, so ...... What exactly do you want to do, I think, that's what we need to make clear first. ”

on the bronze throne.

Cheng Lin smiled and slowly said the prepared manuscript.

I have to admit that this feeling is quite amazing.

As a student in the academy under the Nine Divisions, he actually hid his identity by magic, and on such an important occasion, on behalf of the elves, he negotiated with the senior officials of the Ministry of Specialty, if this kind of thing is said, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

It's unbelievable.

Even Cheng Lin himself sometimes goes into a trance and sighs at the magic of fate.

"First of all, I apologize for entering your world without permission, but it is also an opportunity to get to know each other.

We firmly believe that the cooperation and blending of the two civilizations will bring great benefits to both of us.

This is also our aspiration, which is to establish friendly and peaceful relations.

And carry out a certain level of cooperation and exchanges. ”

Xu Ji said.

"This is also what we want, the elves are a peace-loving race, and I hope you will do the same." Cheng Lin said with a smile.

"Of course! I believe that we can put aside our preconceptions and form a long-term and solid cooperative relationship. Xu Ji's eyes lit up, and the progress was unexpectedly smooth.

However, after hearing his words, Cheng Lin, who was leaning back to the throne, suddenly chuckled.

In the pitch-black hood, an intriguing gaze was cast, "Long-term cooperation?" Is Representative Xu testing me with this sentence? Or is it just unintentional? ”

“……”

The smile that had just appeared on Xu Ji's face froze slightly, and behind the two lenses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Black robe...... What do you mean by that, sir? ”

Cheng Lin looked at him quietly for a few seconds.

It wasn't until Xu Ji looked away a little unnaturally that he slowly spoke: "Representative Xu, I think such a temptation is unnecessary, after all, I said before that our time is very tight. ”

After a pause, Cheng Lin sighed and said, "If there is enough time, I don't mind talking slowly, but the situation doesn't allow it after all."

So...... Well, I'll be honest.

Let me think about it, you shouldn't be quite sure how much information we have right now, I mean, about projections, or the convergence of two worlds, and you're guessing we don't know much about it.

Kindness...... In a way, yes.

There is information about the projection, which the soldiers and civilians below are not aware of.

Even General Harold didn't know much about it.

This may have led you to some misunderstandings, so try to take advantage of the 'inequality of information' to gain an advantage in the negotiations. ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to defend something.

was interrupted by Cheng Lin raising his hand.

I only heard him continue: "There is no need to justify, this is a normal means of negotiation, and I understand it very well.

Still, consider that we've wasted too much time.

So, you might as well get around these boring temptations.

Well, let's put it this way, we don't have any less information about projection than you do, if not more.

To avoid you thinking I'm lying to you.

Let me start with a few of the most basic and superficial pieces of information. ”

After a pause, Cheng Lin pulled the black robe, raised his gloved right hand, and raised a finger.

"First, the existence of projection is time-limited, or in other words, the intersection of two worlds is time-limited, ranging from a few hours to days."

"Second, our world is floating on your land."

"Thirdly, the reason for all this has to do with a certain strong man, well, please look up and look at the carving above your heads, you may have some memory of this image...... In our world, he is the god who saved our people, and in your earth...... He seems to have another identity called ......"

On the Iron Throne, Cheng Lin raised three fingers, stared at Xu Yu and the others who had just retracted their gaze from the carving on the top of the main hall through the mask and hood, and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and bluntly spit out two not-so-standard Chinese character syllables:

"Cheng Lin!"

……

……

Silent.

After saying this, the huge hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Even though Xu Ji and the others tried their best to hide it, they still couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

As for Sun Xiao and others, they were even more moved.

The information that Cheng Lin said is not a secret, or rather, on earth, it belongs to the knowledge that everyone knows.

It's just that at this moment, he said it as an "elf", but the meaning was very different.

This means that the "other world" in the projection is not ignorant of the situation in which they find themselves.

This is an extremely important finding.

The scholar representative was short of breath and stared at Cheng Lin, if he didn't still have reason, he would probably have to pounce on him and continue to ask for more information.

As for Xu Shu...... He glanced at the diplomat beside him, and the two pursed their lips in tacit understanding.

The same emotion is revealed in the eyes: this is the ...... The pace of the negotiation seems to be about to collapse......

Originally, Xu Ji planned to use this information as a bargaining chip to grasp the initiative in negotiations, but where could he have imagined that in a few words, Cheng Lin easily reversed and gained the upper hand.

There was a long silence.

Finally.

Xu Yu coughed, looked at the mysterious "black robe" on the throne again, his eyes were complicated, and then said in a very serious tone: "I apologize for the previous offense, I don't know, about Senior Cheng and the cause of the projection...... What else do you know? ”

When Cheng Lin heard this, he smiled lightly, changed his sitting posture, and said leisurely: "Of course we know a lot of ......."

Say so on the mouth.

In his heart, Cheng Lin laughed at himself: the cause of projection? I only know that it has to do with deduction, and the rest...... We don't know......
