Chapter 374: Waiting for Someone

Cheng Lin held on to the armrest of the cold throne and smiled so that he was in a quandary.

Looking at the changes in the expressions of Xu Ji and the others below, he estimated that the effect of his psychological warfare was quite good.

Throwing these out of the box is indeed to save everyone's time, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of negotiation technique that "takes the lead".

Well, if you talk to Xu Ji and the others with your real identity, Cheng Lin's tricks, which seem to be a little jerky, will hardly work.

But now that he is on his home turf, coupled with a false identity, he has really gradually grasped the initiative.

"It seems that you know more information than I thought you would." Xu Ji smiled bitterly, the rhythm had collapsed, and he could only move forward according to the rhythm drawn by Cheng Lin.

"These messages...... Did Cheng seniors tell you? After thinking about it, he asked.

The relief carving on the top of the main hall has said everything, it seems that Cheng Seniors have indeed descended into this world, if the previous information about the "Ascended Travels to the Heavens" is still in a state of conjecture, then today all this seems to have been confirmed.

"Yes, the god did briefly mention his homeland before leaving, which is a big reason why we want to talk to you." Cheng Lin nodded and continued to flicker.

Then there was another nonsense, presumably telling the story of saving Krum in a different way.

These corroborate each other with the images played in the sky, which is very convincing.

Of course, Cheng Lin also has an important piece of information that he did not mention, that is, there are multiple identical projections in the world.

He did it on purpose.

After all, this matter is too mysterious, instead of making it up indiscriminately and going wrong later, it is better to pretend not to know, as for Xu Ji, he tacitly never mentioned this matter.

"In short, with this connection, we don't want to go to war with the homeland of the gods, of course, it also depends on your attitude." Cheng Lin concluded.

Xu Ji immediately said: "Our attitude has never changed. Xia Guo hopes to have deeper communication and cooperation with the elves. ”

"Cooperation...... What does it mean? Cheng Lin looked at him and asked.

"Trading," Xu said, "is an all-encompassing transaction, whether it's information, knowledge, everything related to cultivation, or more specific material resources, such as plants, beasts, ores...... and so on. ”

Oh?

Is it a full range of transactions?

Cheng Lin's eyebrows were raised secretly, and then, Xu Ji and the others clearly saw the black-robed man sitting on the throne clasping his hands together, stacking them together, and said in a relaxed and formal attitude: "This is also what we want." ”

Plunder compared to going to war.

Trading is the best way to do it.

There are vast forests in the elven world, many spiritual plants have been accumulated over the years, and countless demonic beasts have been rampant during this period, which are all resources that can be exchanged, and of course, there is another set of cultivation systems that is different from the earth, which is the so-called "magic".

During the deduction, Cheng Lin once asked Ai Lu to show the so-called magic and try to learn it, but it turned out that it was a completely different thing from the "ability", although they were all methods of using aura, they belonged to different systems and were difficult to learn.

But not being able to learn doesn't mean it's worthless.

If it is handed over to the research teams in the imperial capital and the magic capital for analysis, maybe they can really learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and gain something.

In the same way, the industrial knowledge of the earth, the marvelous creation...... It also helps the elven world.

"So, I think we can discuss the details of the transaction......" Cheng Lin continued.

He was very interested in facilitating this.

The main thing is that he suddenly realized......

"If I do this, will I be able to make a profit from the transaction? …… Well, that's not corruption, is it? At most, it's just to get a kickback, and it's normal to work hard for half a day in the middle, and get some handling fees, right? ”

As he spoke, he hammered his little abacus in his heart.

However, Xu Ji, who heard his words, shook his head and said, "This is ...... I'm afraid I'll have to wait. ”

"What are you waiting for?" Cheng Lin frowned.

"Wait for someone," Xu Ji lifted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his chest up, looked at Cheng Lin, and said seriously, "The transaction is a big deal, I need to wait for another person to come before I can finalize the details." ”

"You didn't say this before," Cheng Lin's tone was low, a little unhappy, "Don't you have a plenipotentiary yet?" In that case, what's the point of you coming? Or are the so-called cooperation and transactions just lip service? Again, time is precious to both of us! ”

Hearing the "black robe" tone turn cold, the diplomatic ambassador hurriedly stood up and explained: "We didn't mean that, but we really need to wait for someone, after all, we are just messengers......"

His meaning is obvious, the messenger ...... After all, he is just a messenger.

not decision-makers.

Cheng Lin was a little curious when he saw him like this, Xu Ji, as a representative of the special department, although he didn't know the specific position, but he thought that the official rank must not be low, even if it was not the deputy department, it was almost the same, but even he couldn't finalize the details of the transaction?

Need to wait for someone else to come?

So...... That man...... Which big shot is it?

Could it be the Minister of Special Affairs?

No way...... Cheng Lin always felt that it was unlikely, as for the other top few big names in the Imperial City...... It's even more unlikely......

"Who are you waiting for?" Cheng Lin asked with doubt.

Xu Ji took a deep breath when he heard this, and said with a respectful attitude: "He is...... Xia Kingdom cultivation world, the first person! ”

……

……

Just when Xu Ji and the others were standing in the elf clan hall and talking to Cheng Lin.

When Ho and Harold continue to confront each other on the border line.

Shudu.

Railway station.

A dark green iron train from the direction of Dajing sounded its whistle and then slowly stopped, and the conductor opened the door, and passengers from various provinces and cities flocked out.

Because of the projection, the aircraft has been temporarily suspended.

However, land traffic is normal.

Among the large crowd of passengers carrying large bags and suitcases, a man with empty hands stands out a little, especially ...... His outfit was still as bizarre as it was.

Inevitably, people will look at it a few more times.

He was about thirty years old, and he was still among the young people in the metropolis.

It's just that...... actually wore an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, navy blue, simple and decent, but after all, it was a little too outdated.

The four square pockets in front of him are carefully fastened with black buttons, and a dark blue round-bellied fountain pen is pinned to the pocket at the heart of the chest, and the word "hero" is engraved on the bright silver cap that is exposed.

The lower body is the same plain trousers and a pair of shoes, the clothes are ironed very smoothly, it can be seen that they are also worn with care, even if they are all the way, there are almost no wrinkles.

On a white face, he wears a dull square black-rimmed glasses, and his hair is ...... It is a middle part, and it is combed very carefully.

This image would probably be very suitable if it was placed in some nostalgic film and television dramas.

It's just that...... Standing in the city in 2019, it seems a little out of place after all.

Mixed with the crowd came out, slowly recognized the sign to the exit, and then smiled and handed the red paper ticket to the ticket inspector at the station entrance, and when the ticket was withdrawn, he walked through the guardrail to the station square, staring at the crowd in front of him with some emotion.

On the station's big clock, the time points to the evening.

Normally, the sky should still be bright at this time, and the orange-red glare of the setting sun will be slanted along the spire of the main building of the station, covering the square and illuminating the passengers red.

It's just that today is different.

The lights of the whole square are on, and in the distance, the windows of those densely lined high-rise buildings are also dipped in light, and on both sides of the wide street, the street lights are neat, and the cars shuttling back and forth have their headlights on, reflecting the dark road surface with a bright light.

It's like a late night.

The sun is obscured by the huge floating land, which also plunges the whole city into darkness, creating a strange mismatch between the time of the clock and the objective time.

Many passengers who had just come from other places stood in the square with strange expressions, looking up at the obscured sky, pointing and talking, but there was no fear, more excitement.

"Is this Ukilu?"

"It's really the same as it says on the Internet."

"I heard that there are elves up there, but I don't know what they are."

Several young men and women in groups talked excitedly, talking, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures, but the camera was only dark, which made them all sigh of disappointment.

"Floating land......"

He was also looking up at the sky, but in those eyes, there was a deep meaning that could not be explained.

Muttering a word, he withdrew his gaze and began to look for the departing vehicle with a normal expression.

At this moment, suddenly, he sighed softly.

The right hand gently covered the hem of the garment around the waist.

In the place covered by the shirt, a jade plaque with an orange and red body was trembling slightly, and it shimmered with warm light like breathing.

The jade plaque was quite old, only half the size of a palm, and was tied to a leather belt with a golden string.

Accompanied by vibrations and flickering, there is also a hint of warmth.

With his hand covered, the jade plaque finally removed all abnormal movements and returned to its unremarkable appearance.

"Looks like they're in a hurry."

He smiled, but remained unhurried.

After thinking about it, I probably decided to call back because I was taking care of the emotions of some people.

His gaze swept around the square, and then he strode towards a small nondescript supermarket.

The lights inside the small supermarket are bright.

It stands to reason that shops near the station should be popular.

It's just probably because of the time of day, or location, this store seems quite cold.

Leaning against the cashier by the door, wearing a wide pale blue T-shirt, the slightly haired shopkeeper was staring boredly at the mobile phone on the table.

Suddenly, he heard a soft voice ring: "Excuse me, can I make a call?" I can pay. ”

……

ps: I only wrote so much, I'm not ready to stay up late, go to bed early today, tomorrow weekend, strive to make up for it, good night everyone.
