Chapter 103: Under Negotiation
The prophet was choked by Cui Ming's words, yes, the opposite side is a villain with interests, but because of this, people want things, but they don't have them, and people don't do it. The Prophet said, "You're right, what can't I do at the moment?" But what about a month later? What about three months later? What about three years from now? Do you hope that Beiyue will not give in and die in front of me? Do you want me to use her corpse soaked in blood to create a soulless specimen? ”
"It's a threat." Cui Ming asked rhetorically.
"Yes."
"Lao Tzu doesn't eat threats, Lao Tzu depends on what benefits you have. It's no good, you can't skin me and cramp it. There are benefits, I can sell the alliance in minutes. "Don't play a bachelor with my brother, my brother is still a virgin.
The Prophet did not speak for a long time and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"The research of the strategy department, the whereabouts of Beiyue's father, and a ghost cloak."
"Sure enough, it's a villain, and the Ghost Cloak is only useful for assassins with stealth abilities. It's no problem, you want it, I can give it to you. "Know first:"But I can't meet the other two conditions you said." ”
"Anyway, you're not in a hurry, right, you can wait for three years, right?" Cui Ming said: "The research results of the Department of Policy are too general. In this way, I need the crow's own experience in cultivating the system. ”
"But ......"
"After listening to me, there is also the whereabouts of Beiyue's father, and the mystery of Beiyue's father's disappearance." Cui Ming said: "After doing these two things, Beiyue can accompany your envoy to the Lost Civilization. If you're going to come hard, you can try it. "Breaking the oath to lose civilization shows how important this is. And the other party is obviously not good at negotiation, the hole cards are out, and now he knows that there are only three people in the position of the lost civilization, Cui Ming excludes himself, only Ding Ze and Beiyue. Among them, Ding Ze and the Ye family are a little ambiguous, and Beiyue is the first choice. Of course, if Beiyue is really captured, Cui Ming will definitely take the messenger to the Lost Civilization. But this is negotiation? It's about guessing each other's hole cards. Cui Ming must keep himself for the sake of profit, regardless of life and death, and carry out the hooligans to the end.
The Prophet was silent for a while and said, "It is impossible for the crow, not to mention whether it can be found or not, and even if it is found, I don't know who his opponent is, and even if I take action myself, I dare not say that I am sure of victory." As for Kitatsuki's father, I had heard about it ten years ago. Well, first of all, you must keep it secret, everything you have to keep it secret today, and you must not reveal any details to outsiders. Second, I can find out the whereabouts of Master Bei in exchange for the trading terms of Beiyue taking my envoy to the Lost Civilization. The third point is that the ghost cloak will be given to you as a deposit, although you are useless, but you can exchange it with others. At the same time, start trading on our behalf, and if you break the agreement, I will kill you all. ”
"Give us some time." Cui Ming added: "Just because we have credit, we have to consider it carefully. ”
"I trust real villains more than hypocrites." Know first: "Give me the phone number to the messenger, contact me in an hour, someone is about to find the door, I must leave first." ”
……
The messenger left the room and stood outside the door, waiting for the outcome of the discussion inside.
Cui Ming said: "In terms of talking, I think I can blackmail a little more, but I am not familiar with him, I don't know what treasures there are, and I can't start blackmailing." These are secondary...... Xiao Nan, will you keep it a secret? ”
Mi Xiaonan nodded: "Bet on the glory of my Yorks and keep your oath." "Trustworthiness is the most basic tradition of the Yorks, so Cui Ming will burn the contract, not afraid that Mi Xiaonan will not come.
Cui Ming said: "Beiyue, it's up to you now." I will tell him in a while that Ding Ze will stay in the camp, and you will be the only one who has truly reached the Lost Civilization. ”
Kitatsuki asked, "Why?" ”
"If he knew that there were three of us, he would kill one first, wouldn't he say yes? The second one leg, one arm unloaded, and finally killed. Okay, if you don't say it, then let's negotiate again. This way the negotiation will be very passive, so you must be the only one who has reached the Lost Civilization. Now that the conditions are there, Beiyue, I really can't give this advice, because I don't know how important my parents are to me, and how important the truth is to me. Xiao Nan, let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea. ”
Cui Ming and Mi Xiaonan came out and pulled the messenger to drink tea together, the messenger said very little, and shook his head when he asked anything, but he couldn't help it, so he replied that he didn't know. Cui Ming didn't know that the messengers all had an oath spell, they got the power to serve the master, and once they had the idea of betraying the master, they broke the oath. The Oath Spell must be a contract spell that the two of them willingly enter, and the magician materializes the spell and incorporates it into the Force of the Oath-Taker. As long as you have the Force for a day, the vow will not be broken for a day.
There is no oath spell between Beiyue and the Prophet, but Cui Ming believes that the Prophet is not joking about the consequences of the breach. The prophet came out in violation of his oath, and he was willing to suffer the pain of breaking it. Such people are never polite to those who break their oaths. Cui Ming was curious in his heart, what was there in the desert of the lost civilization? As for the total destruction of the classical exploration company, Cui Ming was not interested in thinking about it at all. Did the prophet tell the truth? When he returned to Chu Xiao City, he knew if the old monster and his son were dead, and it was very stupid for Changyue to tell such a lie.
Will Kitatsuki agree? Cui Ming didn't know that what he just said was the truth, and he himself did not have the urge to rush to find his biological parents, nor did he know the importance of parents to his children. And for the sake of the truth, Beiyue closed herself off for more than ten years, worked hard for a goal, and even rationally refused the emotions that could be interfered with, you can imagine how important the truth of her father's whereabouts and mother's death is to Beiyue.
……
An hour passed quickly, Cui Ming and they returned to the room, Beiyue nodded to them, the messenger connected to the prophet's phone, the prophet answered the phone, and asked, "Give me the result." ”
Beiyue answered the phone, Cui Ming leaned to listen to the voice, the room was very quiet, Beiyue replied: "I have thought about it clearly, I can only say I'm sorry, it's my business to find my father, I don't want others to help me finish it, and I don't make a deal with you." The last sentence is the point, don't make a deal with the devil, many people know this sentence, but not many people can do it. Because the devil knows what you need, what you want, and what not to cherish. Even though Beiyue's personality has changed a little in the past six months, Beiyue has always been Beiyue, and she will always insist on what she insists on.
Li Qing has spirit, Mi Xiaonan has honor, Beiyue has faith, Ding Ze has ambition, they are all praises, what is there on Cui Ming's side? Cui Ming has interests, and Cui Ming habitually analyzes problems rationally, but often ignores people's subjective emotions.
But Beiyue's choice, Cui Ming was not surprised, stretched out his hand to take the phone and said: "Prophet, I must tell you a few truths, Beiyue rejects you, and there is an important reason, that is, Beiyue does not remember the road to the lost civilization." You say it so seriously, Beiyue doesn't want to deceive you. ”
"Really?"
"Yes." Cui Ming said: "The second truth, in fact, I went to the desert with Beiyue and Ding Ze, and I was the only one who survived the fifteen prisoners, and it is easy to distinguish between true and false." You've dealt with classical expeditions and should know their secret routes in order to keep them alone. You raided the Classical Expedition Company and were supposed to discover a road map from the town of Kama to the Oasis. As long as you find the oasis, you can reach the lost civilization by heading more than 100 kilometers to the north. ”
The Prophet pondered for a moment: "Your second truth is the truth, and the first is ......"
"It doesn't matter if the first truth is told or not, no matter what reason Beiyue refuses to help you, the three of us will also keep it a secret. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to blackmail you, I'm just offering you a deal right now. We keep this matter a secret, in exchange for you not attacking us, including Ding Ze, of course, if it is an exception for bribery. ”
Know first: "You don't seem to be finished." ”
"Yes. As a trading condition, I can tell you who might have this roadmap. ”
"Who?"
"Was the deal successful?"
"Dead or alive?"
"The living."
"Okay, the deal was successful. Please speak. ”
Cui Ming said: "We participated in this year's alliance assessment, and the registration fee of 50 million was only 42 million in Beiyue, and we borrowed 8 million from professors, which then caused us to live in difficulty. At this time, Beiyue mentioned what the classical exploration company said, and then explore the lost civilization, the matter of 10 million rewards. ”
"Go on."
Cui Ming said: "At this time, a mysterious person came to me, and he was willing to pay the price of a piece of high-grade Force ore, so that I and the expedition team could accompany me and draw a road map. ”
"Who?" Know first: "Don't lie to me, why should someone who can produce high-grade Force ore hire you?" ”
Cui Ming said: "I also suspected at the time that he didn't answer me positively, only said that it was a special reason. ”
The prophet suddenly asked, "What does that man look like?" ”
"Tall and thin, as if there was no meat, sickly, and tired when speaking."
The Prophet was astonished: "Is it him?" "Is Cui Ming lying? No, Cui Ming is not lying, because the flaws are too obvious. And there is a person who may be interested in a lost civilization, and at the same time have a high-grade Force ore net worth, and must hire someone else to work. Cui Ming definitely has no grade to know this person, and those who know this person in the alliance can be counted with a slap. This man is a lich from Shadow Island, who has signed a contract with the Grim Reaper to protect Shadow Island, and when he leaves Shadow Island, he must destroy the Force or die instantly. Because of this, Shadow Island is an absolute forbidden place for the Alliance. If the roadmap falls into the hands of this person, don't think about it.
Cui Ming sighed in his heart, paralyzed, he knew from the prophet's tone that the prophet was afraid of this lich, Cui Ming asked, "Do you know who he is?" ”
"You go on."
"A few days later, we were attacked, and Jack the Clown sneaked up on our friend Mi Xiaonan and also attacked us. A friend of ours named Li Qing fell into fear, and finally relied on Ding Ze's blind shooting energy to force him to leave. This matter is not a secret, the police of Chu Xiaocheng have reported it to the Force Alliance. Cui Ming explained the real part in detail and said: "Jack the Clown is very dangerous, we don't know why we attacked us, we launched a pursuit." I found his place and chased him all the way to find him in the town of Kama and into the desert. I can't guarantee it, but I don't think there is such a coincidence in this world, and it is likely that Jack went to the desert with a team of horses. ”
