After Baron Cook made his decision, he acted very quickly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After making some necessary arrangements at Xuelong Pass, he directly took most of the retainers of the Cook family and embarked on the road back to the royal capital.

Soon after Baron Cook left, Marcia, as the plenipotentiary of the Elson royal family, rushed to Xuelong Pass with his men. The previous representative of the royal family, Marquis Clark, had completely lost the courage to negotiate and communicate with the White Tower of the Nine Rings after seeing the head of Marquis Benson. Although Crown Prince Raymond did not want Marcia, who was close to the Cook family, to accept the matter, he finally had to send this powerful duchess who had initially approached the White Tower of the Nine Rings and reached a preliminary agreement.

After Marcia arrived, the negotiations between the Elson Kingdom and the Nine-Ring White Tower were quickly on the right track. Marcia was not only the designated person for the agreement with the Nine Rings White Tower, but also one of the strongest masters in the Elson Kingdom. In addition, he has a legendary-level inheritance, strength, and identity are not weaker than Bunier and Lennon. In addition, the foundation of the Rex family is in the capital of Elson King, which belongs to an area that is easily impossible to reach by the Nine-Ring White Tower, so when facing the Nine-Ring White Tower, Marcia did not have the slightest timidity. The terms of any treaty, as long as Marcia felt that it was not suitable, would not hesitate to raise objections, and was not at all as timid as the Marquis of Clark.

And with Marcia, the backstage who dared to confront the Nine Rings White Tower, the momentum of the delegation of the Elson Kingdom also strengthened. Although they did not dare to bully the delegation of the White Tower of the Nine Rings in turn, they at least ensured that the negotiations between the two sides were carried out in a relatively equal atmosphere. When it comes to clauses involving more important interests, they also dare to argue on the basis of reason, rather than blindly seeking perfection. Therefore, many of the terms of the agreement are basically a balance of interests between the two parties, and they are not too biased towards one party.

In this noisy but constantly compromising atmosphere, the negotiation process between the two sides moved forward rapidly, and in less than half a month, a draft acceptable to both sides was produced.

On the one hand, the reason why such progress has been made is that the upper echelons of the two sides have reached an agreement on the general direction, and now the main discussion is basically the details of all aspects, and the differences between the two sides are not very large. Even if there are some deviations on some issues, it is easy to coordinate from other aspects to reach a result that is generally acceptable to both parties.

On the other hand, it is because after the Nine Rings White Tower used the 'big chicken' of the Banson family to intimidate the 'monkey' of the Elson Kingdom, it did not gain momentum, but still abided by the original agreement framework and did not make any unreasonable demands. This made the delegation of the Kingdom of Elson greatly relieved, and at the same time, they unconsciously wanted to reach an agreement as soon as possible and finalize the treaty between the two sides, so as not to change their minds again.

After all, with the strong strength of the Nine-Ring White Tower, as well as the powerful deterrent power formed by the just annihilation of the Banson family, even if some non-divisive demands were made, as long as it did not involve some fundamental interests of all parties in the Elson Kingdom, most of the other members of the delegation could only pinch their noses and agree. Now that the Nine Rings White Tower is so 'reasonable', the Elsen Kingdom naturally wants to seize the opportunity to sign a relatively equal treaty as soon as possible.

After getting the draft of the contract and studying it carefully, Marcia, the person in charge of the Elson Kingdom, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Marquis Clarke, an old and cunning guy, flinched from the battle, and did not dare to continue to serve as the representative of the negotiation with the Nine Rings White Tower, on the one hand, he was certainly deterred by the ruthless methods of the Nine Rings White Tower, for fear of angering the Nine Rings White Tower, and his own family would also suffer a catastrophe.

On the other hand, Marquis Clark felt that since the White Tower of the Nine Rings dared to directly attack the Benson family, the number one wealthy family in the Elson Northlands, he would naturally no longer abide by the basic agreement reached with Marcia before. When it comes to negotiations, the lion will definitely open his mouth. In this case, the person in charge of this negotiation will inevitably become a 'traitor' in the Elson Kingdom.

As an old and speculative politician, the Marquis Clarke certainly would not accept such a 'dangerous' task that might disgrace the family for generations, so he would rather temporarily ruin his personal image than take on the responsibility of this 'traitor'.

Therefore, Marcia was sent to take over the negotiation task, on the one hand, because she was strong and had a prominent family background, and she would not be afraid of the Nine Rings White Tower. But on the other hand, this is also a punishment for the crown prince for Marcia to make his own decisions and reach an agreement with the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

No matter how much Marcia contributed to Raymond when stabilizing the situation and fighting against Steven and the Holy See of Light, no matter how dangerous Raymond's own situation would be without the intervention of the Nine Rings White Tower. For the current Raymond, the move of the Nine-Ring White Tower is a huge threat to his status. Therefore, the most important thing now is to reach a relatively balanced agreement with the Nine Rings White Pagoda to ensure the stability of its position.

This agreement can neither completely offend the White Pagoda of the Nine Rings, nor can it be too 'disgraceful and humiliating'. Offended the Nine-Ring White Tower, the Elson Kingdom was powerless to deal with it, and Raymond's position was likely to be lost. But if the agreement is too unfavorable for the Kingdom of Elson, it will affect Raymond's prestige in the country, as well as his rule.

So Raymond sent Marcia to negotiate, and the subtext was obvious: it was you Marcia who brought in the Nine Rings White Tower, so you should do it. If you can negotiate a reasonable cooperation agreement, then everyone is happy. But if you can't do it, then you will be saddled with this black pot of traitorous country. This is the Emperor's Mind Technique.

When she first took over the task, Marcia was actually very apprehensive. Although in terms of personal strength, Marcia is not afraid of Buniel, Lennon and others, but he has to admit that the Elson Kingdom is at an absolute disadvantage in its relationship with the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

In the Kingdom of Elson, there are only a few people who can have the courage and strength to confront Bunier and the others like Marcia, but there are hundreds of gold-level mages like Buniel in the Nine Rings White Tower, not to mention the legendary mages on the other side who are enough to affect the situation on the mainland. It can be said that the strength of the Elson Kingdom and the Nine Rings White Tower is not at the same level at all.

And in terms of the general trend, as long as the White Tower of the Nine Rings is evacuated and the Elsen Kingdom is abandoned, the Holy See of Light will soon make a comeback. Steven, the second prince who is exiled in the Holy See of Light, will soon return to Elson with the support of the Holy See of Light, split, and even usurp the throne that Raymond is about to take. Therefore, even if the Nine-Ring White Tower really put forward some non-dividing conditions, as long as it does not endanger the core interests of all parties in the Elson Kingdom, Marcia can only pinch her nose and agree.

However, what makes Marcia more relieved is that the Nine Rings White Tower is relatively trustworthy. When it had an absolute advantage, it did not gain an inch, and still adhered to the original agreement. Although this is largely done to maintain the reputation and credibility of the Nine Rings White Tower, and to make the Elson Kingdom more willing to cooperate with the Nine Rings White Tower, after all, in terms of the division of interests, the Elson Kingdom is indeed not a loss. Marcia, the ambassador of the negotiations, will not be stigmatized as a 'traitor' because of this treaty.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the agreement, Marcia transmitted the agreement to the royal capital of Elson through magic. Soon the news came back that both the crown prince and the council of nobles had approved the agreement, which was far more 'favorable' than expected.

Along with the news of the agreement to sign, Raymond praised and recognized Marcia. After all, after the Benson family was easily wiped out by the Nine-Ring White Tower, Raymond was ready to give up a considerable part of the benefits and appease the Nine-Ring White Tower, but now Marcia saved this part of the benefits.

"Thank you so much this time! Without you, I am afraid that the outcome of this negotiation would not be so good. After reading the message from the royal capital, a trace of exhaustion flashed in Marcia's eyes, but she still cheered up and thanked Luo Sheng next to her.

This negotiation was able to go so smoothly and get such favorable conditions, although there were reasons why the Nine Rings White Tower was unwilling to bully the Elson Kingdom too much, for fear of causing rebellion and affecting follow-up cooperation, but Luo Sheng's role in it must not be ignored.

If there is no Luo Sheng, who is also a nobleman of the Elson Kingdom and a person with the dual identity of the core personnel of the Nine Rings White Tower, he is in the middle and coordinates the interests of all parties, and on many sensitive issues, even if the two sides have the intention to compromise, it will be difficult to quickly find out each other's intentions and reach a suitable compromise. It can be said that without Luo Sheng's participation, the time for this negotiation will be extended by at least half. The final agreement will not be as satisfactory to both parties as it is now.

"Your Excellency the Duke is gracious. The Nine Rings White Tower has its own principles and will not oppress the Elson Kingdom too much, so the agreement will not be too harsh in the first place. Moreover, Lord Duke, you yourself are one of the most important collaborators of the Nine Rings White Tower in Elson's country, and it is impossible for them to let you be saddled with the black cauldron of betraying the country. Luo Sheng responded with a smile.

Although Luo Sheng was not directly involved in this negotiation, in private, he was delivering news to the high-level leaders of both sides, and often put forward some suggestions of his own. It can be said that apart from the two main negotiators of the main negotiations, Marcia and Bunier, Rawin is the one who has the most influence on this contract. Many of the terms were even drafted directly by Luo Sheng.

Working so hard in this matter, Luo Sheng certainly has his own plans. The first consideration is naturally to coordinate the relationship between Elson and the White Tower of the Nine Rings, so that the cooperation between the two sides can be implemented as soon as possible. The second consideration is to sell Marcia a favor. After all, Rasen's fief legally belongs to the Elson Kingdom, and it also needs Elson's support in all aspects when it develops, and it is very beneficial to the development of the territory to be able to establish a good relationship with the Rex family, which ranks second in Elson.

Judging from the current results, Luo Sheng's efforts have not been in vain. This contract was acceptable to both parties, and Marcia did inherit a lot of favor from Rason. In the future, even if Luo Sheng is not in Elson for the time being, there will be no problems with the title and fief.

"You don't have to be modest about this matter, I have written down this favor. Marcia waved his hand and said lightly: "But I need you to give me a word, do you want to become a nobleman of Elson, or a person from the White Tower of the Nine Rings?"
