Chapter 38 Long time no see~

"Pioneer rights? When pigs fly! ”

Marven was slightly stunned, then got up directly with a bang, glared at Charles with angry eyes, and replied categorically, "Any act of splitting the kingdom is not allowed, it will only usher in the charge of the knights of the kingdom!" ”

"You can ask for anything, but this is absolutely impossible!"

"Humph! Is the chivalrous kingdom of Gubit actually a character who backtracks? Charles slapped his palm on the table and said loudly without flinching: "If Your Excellency has this attitude, we don't need to talk about it, please come back, General Rex, send off!" ”

Zheng!

The knight's sword in Rex's hand on the side was raised very cooperatively, and the sound of the sword resounded, holding the sword in his right hand, and the sword in his left hand, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please." ”

"You ......"

Marven gritted his steel teeth, he really seemed to pull out his sword and split Charles's head with a sword, but as an ambassador, as an old minister who wanted to be able to bring Crane City into the kingdom's power, he couldn't do this, and he couldn't do it - Crane City's prestige and contribution to humanity were known to the world, and after that, Gubit actually broke out in conflict with such heroes, what would others think?

This is bound to be the biggest scandal in the history of Gubit!

The palm that was pressed on the hilt of the sword on his waist trembled and released, Marven breathed heavily, and forced his voice to become smooth and spoke: "Lord Charles, you should know the meaning of the right to pioneer, with this power, theoretically it is the possibility of having unlimited territory, and it is impossible for any kingdom to allow subordinate lords to have this kind of authority!" ”

"This is the bottom line of every kingdom!"

"The bottom line? Heh, old general, you say the bottom line? ”

Charles sneered twice, stretched out his palm, and Rex on the side handed the scroll that Chu Lie casually put on the table to his palm, and the young consul gently threw the scroll, and then casually threw it on the table, the golden royal scroll rolled on the wooden table, stopping in front of Marven and the others, and the young man's disdainful laughter also sounded unhurriedly at the same time: "My Crane City also has its own bottom line. ”

"As far as these things you give, unless you add the right to pioneer, you are simply teasing my Crane City, and the thousands of warriors who died in my Crane battle! Merchant? Supply? Heh~ Do you think I'm going to lack these things? ”

"Don't underestimate the adventurous spirit of the merchants on the mainland......"

Crunch –

Marven's palms clenched unconsciously, and the anger in his chest surged, but his face forcibly maintained his original calmness, his light gray eyes stared at Charles, and he slowly asked: "Removing the right to explore, what is the bottom line of Crane City?" ”

“…… Clever. ”

Charles's face was slightly stunned, then he smiled lightly, lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and when several officials next to Marven were already waiting a little impatiently, he slowly said, "Ten times." ”

"Ten times higher than the supply base given by the kingdom! In addition, it is required to provide war resources such as magic crystals and armor weapons to Klan City every month in accordance with the standards of the kingdom's first-level combat fortresses...... In this case, we can also consider it, otherwise...... Wait, believe me, by this time tomorrow, the news of the humiliation of human heroes by the kingdom of Gubit will reach every corner of the continent, and after the war is over, Gubit will receive a declaration of revenge from the city of Klan-"

"In the name of my Crane Heroic Soul who died in battle!"

In the entire negotiation room, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

……………………………………………………………………

This negotiation went on for a long time, until the sun had already faded, and the two sides had not been able to come to a clear conclusion, but both Rex and the officials sent by the kingdom could see that it was only a matter of time before the kingdom of Gubit compromised on the demands of Crane City.

Crane City, the residence of Ambassador Gubit.

"Presumptuous! It's so presumptuous!! ”

When Raymond returned to his residence, the already stiff gentleness on his face finally collapsed, and as soon as he ripped off the bow tie on his neckline, the thirty-year-old young official's face was full of anger: "How dare they speak! They were able to open their mouths! ”

"Ten times the materiel, war materiel of the standard of a first-class combat readiness fortress?! Why don't they grab it! ”

"It's much faster than grabbing."

The lady who had confronted Charles before smiled bitterly, her face full of helplessness.

The requirements of Klan City can be regarded as a ruthless stab even for the Gubit Kingdom in its heyday, let alone the Knight Kingdom that is now greatly damaged? But they can't just ignore it...... Not to mention the threat of a subsequent declaration of war, the hat of 'humiliating human heroes' alone was enough to make their hearts tremble-

The prestige of the Gubit Kingdom, which was shattered three cities overnight, has long been swept away, but it is barely maintaining the bearing of a country, but the people of the kingdom have long been circulating all kinds of unfavorable remarks against the royal family, such Gubit, such a royal family, can no longer afford such a brutal and direct blow!

Charles......

The woman's eyes closed slightly, and the young man's dissolute face appeared in her mind, her face was full of frustration, and she sighed:

"Have you anticipated the situation within the kingdom and our bottom line?"

"What a scary opponent ......"

"Okay, don't think about it."

At this time, the old voice came from outside, and then Marven's tall body strode over, but his arm was a little unnatural because of the injuries he had suffered, but this did not affect the spirit of this battlefield veteran in the slightest, and several young officials in the room looked at each other, and they all stood up respectfully and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Old general." ”

"Hmm."

Marven bowed slightly, and said with a calm expression: "Everyone, you are fortunate, we will continue this afternoon, but don't have too much pressure, this is barely within the limits of what we can tolerate." ”

"We can only rejoice that these guys put forward the right to open up just to make a request after the situation, and the kingdom did not fall into the worst situation, after all, if the right to open up to Crane is given, by the end of the war, their territory will be larger than the kingdom, Your Majesty said before he came, as long as it does not affect the majesty of the kingdom's territory, any request from Chu Lie can be tolerated."

"This is for the sake of humanity and for the Kingdom, all of you."

As he spoke, the old man leaned slightly towards these young officials, and these people also returned the salute and shouted in a deep voice:

"For the kingdom!"

“…… But ......"

But at this moment, a trace of hesitation appeared on the capable lady's face, and after a moment of hesitation, she still spoke: "Old general, what if they refuse to return the recovered territory after the war is over? At that time, their territory was still vast enough......"

"Well, you don't have to worry about that, Julia......"

Marven showed a determined smile on his face: "This kind of behavior is equivalent to directly provoking the five major human kingdoms on the entire continent, unless he wants to be the enemy of the whole world, he will not do such a stupid thing, and if this is the case, they would not have proposed to open up the right before, how could a prisoner who had planned to rob ask for the price?" ”

"But ...... to talk about"

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes wandered around the house, and he wondered, "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess not here?" Didn't she say that she didn't want to go to see Chu Lie now, and wanted to rest here now? Why don't you see anyone? ”

"This ......"

Raymond and Julia glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "When we come back, His Highness will no longer be here......"

"What?"

Marven looked stunned.

……………………………………………………………………

Chu Lie had now walked out of the consul hall, but he was still thinking about what Charles had just said in his mind - after sending off the obviously gloomy face of the kingdom general Marven and the young official, the young consul gentleman had a self-restraint on his face as if a swordsman had put his sword into the sheath after a duel, and directly slumped to the seat, shaking the empty wine jug in his hand, and explained with a smile to him:

'Does Lord Chu Lie wonder why I proposed the right to pioneer?' ’

Without waiting for Chu Lie to nod, Charles continued to say on his own, "Well, there are two main reasons, the first reason is naturally to pit them fiercely, under the general trend, no matter how aggrieved they are in their hearts, they can only pinch their noses and admit it at this time, and the second reason is ......

The young man's voice paused slightly, and it was obviously a pure white pair of eyes that were dead and silent, but now he burst out with a frightening cold light, and slowly spoke word by word: "To confuse them, to make them think that we are also in the existing system of rules, and ...... are subject to them, this is the real purpose, and even the first reason is only to serve this purpose." ’

Let them relax their vigilance against us, and when they perceive that something is wrong, we will be like dragons spreading their wings, and the general trend has been achieved, and then they will be powerless to stop the adults from taking off!! ’

Even though a long time has passed, Charles's eyebrows and flying faces are still emerging in front of Chu Lie's eyes, and it is difficult to disperse, making his gaze fluctuate slightly, and he muttered in a low voice:

“…… Take off? ”

"Forget it, let's not think about this for now......"

Exhaling lightly, Chu Lie shook his head, forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and raised his hand to tighten his neckline - the clothes on his body now were not the battle robe he often wears, but a cloak with a hood, the hood fell just enough to make others not really see his face, as the city lord of Crane City, he was no longer suitable to appear in front of people without the slightest disguise.

But there was one thing he had to come out of, because if it took more than three minutes, the effect and feel of the thing would be completely different.

The footsteps were quiet, Chu Lie blended into the crowd like an ordinary resident and walked in a certain direction, only a few steps, a sweet smell filled the air, making his steps unconsciously speed up, and even subconsciously used his body method, like a foraging cheetah as agile, turned a corner, an old woman with a stall appeared in front of Chu Lie, a glass of milky white milk was just filled in front of him, releasing an attractive sweet fragrance, Chu Lie's eyes suddenly lit up, and his steps continued, While the coin is placed in his left hand, his right hand is spread out and he is holding it towards the glass of milk.

But almost at the same time as his palm fell, another person on the side of the stall also reached out and held the cup, and the two palms were held together very coincidentally, and the slightly cool and smooth touch came, which made Chu Lie look slightly stunned, and subconsciously took half a step back and let go of his palm.

Girl??

"Ah......hh

After the old woman who set up the stall saw Chu Lie, she opened her mouth with a few missing teeth and laughed, and opened the pot next to her while laughing, and the hot white steam rose in an instant, Chu Lie tilted his head slightly to avoid the steam, and the hood swung, revealing his cold and hard chin, but the body of the person opposite trembled slightly at the same time.

Get!

The cup was placed on the table, making a soft sound, Chu Lie subconsciously deviated his eyes slightly, and the person beside him raised his palm, and the slightly wide cuffs slid down, revealing a white arm, and a silver cross hung from his wrist, which collided with the bracer and made a crisp and long groan, which made Chu Lie's expression slightly stunned, and his eyes widened slightly in disbelief, and at this time, the person next to him had already gently lifted his hood, his long golden hair was scattered, his eyes were as clean as the blue sky, and his face was heroic but beautiful, raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Stomp, stomp!

At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded, and the envoy led by Marven rushed to the other end of the side street, and the old man turned his head anxiously to search for the figure, and suddenly Julia's joyful shout came from his ears:

"Found it!"

"Where?!"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he turned his head sharply, but the joy on his face had not yet emerged, and he was completely stiffened, under the attention of all the officials of the envoys, in the kind smile of the old woman, the sky was like a flowing golden sunset, beside him was the white steam full of the taste of life, after this body was the past, before this body was the wild hope that had not yet been unfolded, and in front of him, the girl looked at him quietly, and the clean and clear blue eyes reflected his own face.

"Long time no see, Chu Lie ......"

She smiled like this, her demeanor was the same as when she first met more than ten years ago, after experiencing war, life and death, and loss, such a greeting and such a girl made him really feel the cruelty of the passage of time, but there was also a kind of familiarity and warmth flowing gently in his heart, which made him inexplicably a little distracted, and even his voice unconsciously became gentle.

"Long time no see, ...... Angie"

"Uh-!!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of shouts from the opposite side of the street, Chu Lie was slightly stunned, and saw that the old Marven, who had been at odds with Charles before, seemed to be a mad beast, and he was furious, and strode towards the two:

"Little bunny! Take away your dirty hands for the old man!! ”

"Julia, let go! Don't pull me! The old man wants to hack this robber to death!! ”
