Chapter 387: Opportunity
There was no anger in Su Mu's heart, and all the coldness was also due to deliberate playing.
Therefore, no matter whether the Peacock Monarch's gift was true or false, an accident or a coincidence, Su Mu's purpose had been successfully achieved after all.
The only thing to do next...... It's just a matter of putting forward more stringent conditions.
Therefore, under Maggie's pretended persuasion, Su Mu also returned to the palace of the royal city again, and sat comfortably on an extremely luxurious seat.
His eyes were calm, looking at the man on the throne.
The Peacock Monarch is a man in his forties, but for his strong age, the Peacock Monarch's ambitions are almost impossible to fulfill.
Because above the head of the Peacock Monarch, there is no doubt that there is always a dark cloud called "Sacrifice Society".
In fact, today's Peacock Monarch's turn of face on the sacrificial meeting is far more than just because of the scene on Peacock Terrace Square, the humiliation of the royal family of the kingdom for thousands of years has already been gathered together and erupted.
"You ...... Can you really give me back a clear sky?"
The first person to ask questions is still the Peacock Monarch as the master of the kingdom.
Although he was about giving Su Mu a big gift, the Peacock Monarch already understood what price he would have to pay. But more than the price, the Peacock Monarch is more concerned about...... Whether or not your expectations can be realized?
"In fact, the biggest mistake of your country for thousands of years has been to remain friendly with the Empire, but instead to fight against the Commonwealth, which has come from behind. ”
At this moment, it was not Su Mu who was ceremoniously invited back, but Maggie, the Holy Maiden of the Pope State, who was more and more incomprehensible to Su Mu.
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Long Tuo, who is also the Five Ancient Empires, must not sit idly by and watch the revival of a huge empire. On the contrary, it is the newest and most strident federation that does not care at all about the attitude of the rest of the countries. As long as they can make the Federation itself stronger, they don't care what means they use at all. ”
"Or to put it more bluntly, instead of letting the Sacrifice Society lead the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu to completely fall to Longtuo, in fact, it is the best solution for you to stand up and favor the Federation. ”
Maggie's words seem to make sense at first glance.
But in fact, only Su Mu himself knows that all this is based on the balance of power of the Three Kingdoms.
Once the ambition of Emperor Longtuo really tears the balance between the three kingdoms, the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, sandwiched between the empire and the federation, will sooner or later become the arena of the two great kingdoms.
Therefore, Maggie's words were not so much pointing out a clear path to the Peacock King, but rather giving Su Mu and the Federation an opportunity to intervene here.
As long as the Peacock royal family falls to the Federation...... The Federation is naturally among the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, and it is also promising!
......
Su Mu's heart became more and more dazed, looking at Maggie who was still calm and treacherous.
I don't understand it at all...... Her current act of self-sacrifice does not seem to bring any benefit to the Papal States at all, but what purpose is it for?
But at this moment, no matter how puzzled Su Mu was in his heart, it was impossible for him to blurt out Maggie directly in front of the Peacock King.
Now I can only follow Maggie's words and continue to boast:
"What the Federation needs, or what I need, is the right to enter the tomb of King Daming to observe. As for the internal affairs and royal power of the Mauryan Kingdom, we have no interest in interfering at will. ”
"Even if you can ensure this, I can convince the Federation to help you annex the other two countries. The Mughal state has been harassing the borders of the Union for many years, and the Federation has long been in danger of being in trouble, and as for Gupta who already depends on the snort of the empire to survive, the Federation does not care about its survival at all. ”
When the Peacock King was most unwilling in his heart, Su Mu's unsafe words of temptation were as desirable as a candy full of temptation.
Even if the Peacock King knew that it was groundless, he would still be unable to stop coveting it.
And Su Mu saw that the seeds of greed had been planted, and at this time, the conversation suddenly changed, and he no longer continued to describe the unfounded beauty, but talked about the most practical question:
"The biggest problem in the kingdom today is that the sacrificial society has been above the royal power for a long time. But now they have introduced the empire into the tomb of King Ming on their own, but for the first time, they have lost their sanctity in the hearts of the people. Therefore, if you are ready to attack the sacrifice, now is undoubtedly the most opportune time. ”
On the bank of the river outside Sherkas City, the reason why Su Mu hid his face and didn't want to entangle himself more didn't mean that Su Mu didn't have much confidence in his own strength.
In essence, it was just because Su Mu hadn't figured out how to fight back against the empire.
After all, the empire forced Su Mu into the Ancestral Dragon Temple again and again, all in the hope that the cold and majestic dragon could directly make Su Mu disappear completely.
Since Su Mu escaped the catastrophe of life and death, he naturally had to make the other party pay the corresponding price.
......
"After all, the royal capital is far enough away from the empire, and even if the imperial dragoons have entered the royal capital now, the imperial side will inevitably be unable to provide reinforcements again in a short period of time. ”
"And according to the information Maggie gave me, the strongest person in the current sacrificial meeting is only a high-character ninth-order mage, and they don't have a big-character powerhouse to sit down. ”
"In other words, now, as long as I am willing, I can directly destroy all the power of the Sacrifice Society and the Imperial side. Let them be in the Peacock King Capital, and they will no longer have half of their influence at all. ”
Su Mu's guarantee, in terms of his current strength and realm, seems to be a bit of a fool's dream.
But he is Su Mu after all, and he is the Su Mu who has repeatedly created miracles.
So no matter how exaggerated Su Mu's threats were, not only did Maggie not show any doubts, but even the Peacock King could only believe what Su Mu said.
"What do you need from me?"
Finally, under Su Mu's little bit of persecution and temptation, the Peacock King finally gave up the last trace of self-restraint and bluntly raised the core question.
Although Su Mu had already explained that what he wanted was the right to enter the tomb of King Daming.
However, everyone understands that Su Mu will certainly not directly use those extreme thunderous means for the sake of an empty and unfounded guarantee.
So at this moment, seeing that the other party was already so good, Su Mu finally showed a trace of relief.
Then he held his breath and stated in an irreversible tone:
"In the future, the Peacock Kingdom will exist as an open ally of the Federation, and the resources in the Peacock Country, including the tomb of King Daming, will be completely open to the Federation. ”
And in exchange for all this, the elite mages of the Peacock Nation can also enter the Northern Academy of Magic, and the Federation will also give them the same high-quality magical education. ”
"Cooperation, both benefits, not cooperation...... That's when I never came!"
