That evening, at the strong request of the delegation, Roger changed his itinerary and took the group to Stephen Sand's most famous hot springs for hospitality.

Xu Nan originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Roger about the parade, but unfortunately Roger seemed to be very busy, and after bringing them over, he said goodbye and left.

Presumably, it was to deal with the aftermath of the parade.

The whole delegation was quite happy except for Xu Nan, everyone was happily enjoying the beauty of the hot springs, and the only strange thing that Xu Nan noticed was that although these people were soaking in the hot springs on the surface, they actually spent half of their time going to the toilet, and it seemed that there was some secret hiding from them.

Although on the surface, everyone respects Xu Nan's identity, and there is no bloody bridge in the network where subordinates collide with their bosses, Xu Nan still has a sense of loss as if he has been hollowed out.

However, his struggle did not last long, and Stephen Sand's hot springs were indeed wonderful, and he felt completely free of his troubles after a short soak.

Whatever happened to him Stephen Sand, he just had to follow the rules anyway.

It's a big deal to drag it out any longer, and I will return to Earth through Paradise Lost to do business!

That night, Xu Nan almost fell asleep in the hot spring pool.

When he came out of the pool, he was told that all the members of the delegation, except for him, had obediently returned to the Grand Coast Hotel and had fallen asleep.

He walked out of the hot spring hotel alone, and under the night breeze, he saw the faint green aurora.

He suddenly sobered up.

It seems that next door to this hot spring inn is Stephen Sand's most famous alchemy workshop.

It's rare to come once, but it seems a bit unreasonable to go over and take a look, right?

Anyway, I have the permission card given by Roger, so it's okay to pass by and take a look, as long as you don't touch other people's core secrets!

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Nan suddenly became energetic, and rushed to the alchemy workshop area with his head bored.

Stephen Sand in the middle of the night is still quite popular, the mages and alchemists here basically don't know day and night, maybe they don't have the expertise of the wise man who sleeps, but they are willing to dedicate their lives to knowledge They sleep very little.

He wandered through the exhibition areas of one alchemy workshop, marveling at the brains and inventions of Stephen Sand's alchemists.

There are many things that the sorcerers of Paradise Lost have never thought of.

This is only the external exhibition area, and their internal technical knowledge is even more amazing!

No wonder the Warlocks in Paradise Lost are obsessed with Stephen Sand.

Tired of wandering around, Xu Nan casually found a tavern and ordered a drink, and it happened that a couple sitting next door was discussing what happened during the day today, Xu Nan's heart moved, and he began to listen pretending not to care.

"I heard that the parade made the Presbyterians very angry, and Mr. Roger, one of the eight leaves, personally took action to expel him, but I don't think those in the Alchemist Guild and the Artisan Guild will not give up, after all, they think that cooperating with Paradise Lost is the greatest symbol of Stephensand Downfall."

The male mage was boredly fiddling with the mechanical watch in his hand, as if something was not his business.

The female mage took a sip of strawberry juice and said with some disdain, "Stephen and Sand have long since fallen, and although I hate those marchers who claim to represent the people, it would be a credit if I could really drive away those stinking warlocks." ”

Xu Nan said in his heart, Lao Tzu recruited you, did you provoke you, or did you eat your rice? Why is it a stinking warlock?

The male mage said: "I think it's a bit difficult, cooperating with Paradise Lost is the tone set by [Red Windmill], and the reason why the marchers dare to protest is only vaguely instructed by the [White Tower]......"

The two chatted a little intermittently, and although Xu Nan couldn't fully understand it, he seemed to understand a lot after piecing together all the information.

Stephen Sand has two attitudes towards working with Paradise Lost.

One is presumably the official attitude represented by Ansuli's will. After all, this matter was brought about by Ansuli and Romans, and the Red Pinwheel organization she established was extremely influential in Stephen Sand, and it was through pressure in the lower house of the Presbyterian Church that Stephen Sand's cooperation plan with Paradise Lost was voted on and finally entered the implementation stage. Roger, the leader of the Plastic Energy School, one of the eight leaves, is one of the representatives of this part.

On the other hand, there are those who are extremely resistant to working with Paradise Lost.

Most of them were Stephen Sand's folks, mainly low-level alchemists, and this group of people seemed to be vaguely instructed by Lawnes, the lord of the White Tower, one of Stephen Sand's two giants, to hold a protest under the organization of the Alchemists' Guild and the Craftsmen's Guild.

Today's march is just a prologue, and it is said that there will be a wave of strikes or something to follow.

Of course, there are quite a few neutrals like this couple, but Xu Nan found that the mages here generally have a biased perception of Paradise Lost.

Many people are haunted by Paradise Lost's breach of contract, after all, the mages here believe that it is an orthodox legacy of the Arcane Empire.

It seems that this is where the root cause of the impact on this negotiation lies.

It's not that Roger doesn't want to negotiate with Xu Nan, but in the face of some boiling "public opinion", he is not good at arbitrariness and dictatorship, after all, Stephen Sand is a recognized democratic system.

Even the mighty Ansuli couldn't cover the sky with one hand—at least, on the surface.

That's why he postponed the long-overdue negotiation conference and the signing ceremony of the white paper.

At this moment, the bald mage was also very embarrassed in his heart.

Ansuli gave him the responsibility for the matter, but he obviously had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and the forced eviction would only lead to a bigger backlash.

Xu Nan thought about it, although as long as he got out of the matter, the matter would eventually be resolved one day, but this was too much of a waste of time.

Moreover, he also knew that the Supreme Council and Old Monsieur Romans were watching their own performance.

stuffed a bunch of pig teammates into the delegation, I'm afraid I don't want to give Xu Nan a weight-bearing training to see if he can successfully complete the signing of the white paper under such conditions, right?

Since this is the case, Xu Nan decided to take action.

After all, the world he is in has a lot of experience in this kind of thing.

That night, Xu Nan directly visited the bald mage Roger's mage tower.

This kind of behavior is actually a bit impolite, but Xu Nan didn't bother to cover it up, but after finding the bald mage, he went straight to the point.

“…… Your Excellency is postponing negotiations for these reasons, right? ”

Xu Nan stared at Roger.

Roger smiled bitterly: "Mainly because of these, of course, there are some other reasons, but these are all ugly things inside Stephen Sand, which makes the friends of Paradise Lost laugh." ”

Xu Nan said in his heart that his subordinates would not laugh, they were very satisfied if they had public funds to eat and drink.

Xu Nan pondered the vocabulary for a moment and said gently: "Although it seems a bit arrogant to say this, I do have some immature suggestions, if Mr. Roger doesn't have a better way for the time being, you might as well try it." ”

Roger's eyes lit up.

As the boss of the Plastic Energy School, what he is best at is rubbing fireballs and smashing hailstones, and this kind of intrigue and power tricks can't be obtained at all.

Ansuli was embarrassed by handing over the matter of negotiation to him.

But he can't do anything to the people who are marching, right?

For most of the day, Roger thought to himself, if only this group of people marching were monsters...... A bunch of spells smashed through it and it was a hundred.

"I want to hear about it." Roger looked at Xu Nan very sincerely.

Xu Nan didn't hide it either, and danced with his eyebrows:

"Demonstrations, strikes, and the like are nothing more than interests that are not in place. In fact, these people also know in their hearts that the cooperation between Stephen and Paradise Lost was decided by Ms. Ansoli and my mentor, Mr. Romans, and it is inevitable and the trend of the times! ”

But why would they do it? Most people just want to get more out of it. ”

"In that case, we just need to attack the key points!"

"For the marchers, you can invite the organizers separately and privately, and use the benefits to win over a group of people, and use force to intimidate a group of people. As long as these leaders are solved, they can't be organized. ”

"Of course, I have some more special means to employ here......"

Xu Nan talked endlessly for half a night, and Roger was simply amazed, as if he had heard a new spell theory.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu Nan!"

"There is still such a way, I will find someone to do it immediately!"

Roger ran away without looking back.

Xu Nan stretched and went back to the hotel to rest.

The next morning, the good news came one after another.

The upcoming larger protest march was temporarily canceled due to some horrific rumors.

In the afternoon, some of the leaders who had participated in the parade changed their minds and openly declared that they believed that cooperating with Paradise Lost would help Stephen and Sand's progress - of course, they had been smashed with a lot of eggs, but they were nothing compared to the benefits they had received.

The wave of revolt had not yet formed, there were already discordant voices in the ranks, and the waves of marches and strikes were doomed to stillbirth.

Especially when the Alchemist Guild and the Craftsman Guild, which were the most staunch opponents of Paradise Lost, were exposed to the news that they had received a large number of huge bribes from unknown forces, a crisis of confidence erupted within the marchers, and they themselves began to quarrel, and the atmosphere of suspicion began to permeate the ranks.

Xu Nan saw the whole process in his eyes, and his heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment. The experience of the earth is still very useful in the other world, and it can be seen that many things are common.

In the evening, Roger came to receive Xu Nan and his party with a spring breeze.

"Thanks to Mr. Xu Nan, the matter is almost settled."

"Those Diao people are already leaderless and suspicious of each other, and I think tomorrow we can have formal negotiations on the details and the signing of the agreement."

"Tonight, we prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain ......"

Before Roger could finish his words, suddenly, a shrill voice came from outside:

"Catch the spy!"

"[Aurora Tree House] has caught another spy, let's go check it out!"

"Damn, is there another commercial spy to steal our knowledge?"

Roger's face suddenly turned ugly.

Hearing this, the group leaned over.

Many people gathered around, but saw a man in thin clothes but very handsome who was tied to a pillar.

There was a lot of discussion:

"This person tried to steal the internal alchemy data of the Aurora Tree House and was caught!"

"He's definitely a commercial spy from outside, hehe......"

"This person is quite handsome, could it be that he is from Paradise Lost?"

In the crowd, there were erratic voices whispering.

For a moment, everyone thought about it, and many people firmly believed that the spy came from Paradise Lost.

Xu Nan's face sank, it was clear that someone was making trouble!

Roger waved his hand: "You guys stay away for a while, or I'll deal with it." ”

Xu Nan shook his head: "It's okay!" ”

"The body is not afraid of shadows! We don't have such people in Paradise Lost, and we don't do such things! I want to see what moth is hidden behind this matter! ”

The chubby warlock next to him looked a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "Mr. Xu Nan's face is really thick!" ”

Before Xu Nan could react, the clerical lady Luna had a seizure with her waist crossed:

"How can they tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?"

Xu Nan is very relieved that he still has three positive views on his side.

As a result, the next second, he heard an inaudible complaint:

"This person isn't on the list of sixteen hundred commercial spies we sent to Stephen Sand, right?"
