Chapter 289

The negotiations went surprisingly smoothly, and looking at this situation, there should be no need to take out the little tiger as a bargaining chip. There is no mortal feud between Van Meer and Kevin, he originally just wanted to take a personal advantage, after all, the chariots are too similar, and he may also face pressure from the top. Now that there are other ways to solve the problem, he can also choose the less risky one.

As for the necromancer, after Kevin chatted with him for a few words, he felt that he was a little naΓ―ve. He shouldn't be young, but he obviously doesn't have enough experience, and he may shrink somewhere to study magic and the like all year round. He's okay to be a researcher, but it seems that he wants to divide one side, which is a lot worse, and he's a necromancer.

Van Mill didn't seem to have much to say about him, but Kevin took the opportunity to talk to him more and get closer. Here Kevin is alone and needs more allies, and if he can't be an ally, it's better not to be an enemy.

Then we talked about the specific matters of the Smida people, the amount of money afterwards, and so on. The most important of these is, of course, the issue of trust. How to ensure that after Kevin joins the house, he will not be easily betrayed. Sometimes, even if a written note is made, it is not binding.

In this regard, Kevin said frankly: "Actually, I am the most unlikely person among you to break my promise easily, for the simple reason that I am weak." I'm here, and I can't escape, and if I don't talk anymore, you guys come over and kill me. Are you afraid that there will be no chance?"

This made a lot of sense, and the two of them nodded in convincing. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder: "You can't go back, but aren't you afraid that we will go back?"

Van Meer made it even clearer: "Today you have a catapult facing the outside, so we are forced to negotiate." In two days, the catapult will be gone, what other means do you have? Aren't you afraid that we will turn around then? Do you have any other tricks?"

Kevin naturally shook his head, and then said a bunch of nonsense about what negotiations should have the spirit of contract, what kind of people should be kind, and then said that he was too weak, and there was really no way to make a move, etc.

The two could only be skeptical. In fact, of course, there are after-moves, but this kind of thing, every move is uncertain, very thrilling, Kevin can not use it and try not to use it. It's really not good, there is also a teacher in the shadows, the eighth-order powerhouse who claims to be a full-range mage and a demon martial arts dual cultivator, and his strength is enough to protect himself, but he is not with Kevin all the way after all, so if he can not use it, he will not use it.

This conversation lasted more than two hours, especially when it came to the specific amount, but Kevin actually couldn't make up his mind. He doesn't have such a lot of power, and he doesn't know how much money his country can contribute, but he still tries to compress the range of money as much as possible.

When the conversation with Van Memeer was a little stiff, Kevin changed the topic and talked to the necromancer about the rebellion. Give yourself slowly, slowly and almost back to the topic, back to the topic, back and forth, the matter has basically been finalized. After chatting, the atmosphere became more and more lively, Kevin even told jokes, and the three of them seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, although this was all on the surface.

In the end, Kevin was the first to walk out of the teleportation array. The dragon knights who were guarding outside were obviously surprised, but Van Mill hurriedly came out on his heels and glanced at them. Although everyone was surprised, they didn't say anything more, and after greeting each other twice, they went back.

Kevin returned to the embassy, and informed the people who were still guarding the ellipsis catapult through the contract that they could withdraw. At the same time, the things that need to be done must be solved as soon as possible: "Crow, how are the skulls you have collected?"

"Oh, just got a few. The raven replied.

"You take a chance and throw the skull in the Smitta's room. Kevin ordered.

"This ......," the crow hesitated, "it's too conspicuous in broad daylight, or at night?"

"Alright," Kevin responded, "I'll find a way to get him out in the evening." ”

"Wait," the crow remembered, "and you're going to throw the skeleton in his room?"

"You wait outside his window first, and if he really doesn't open it, then I'll help you figure it out," Kevin replied, "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, or I'm afraid there will be changes." ”

Anyway, Kevin himself walked out of the embassy and went to the hotel alone. There was no danger in the daytime, but when I came to the hotel, I was greeted with a lot of surprised eyes. Obviously, many of the members of the Observation Group thought that Kevin was dead, and now he appeared in front of everyone in a dignified manner, could it be that the Imperials had missed? Or was there something else?

If you have doubts, of course, you will inevitably come up to test it, and someone immediately greets: "Ah, Mr. Kevin, your illness is cured?"

"Yes. Kevin nodded casually, "Thanks for the concern." ”

"Then the Imperial people want to ask you to clean up the battlefield, you ......" this man tempted.

Kevin nodded: "I've already been there, and it looks like there are still a lot of collapsed arrow towers inside, and it's not easy to clean up, but you guys are fighting harder, and I can only make some small contributions." ”

The other observer group members looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Kevin directly asked, "What about the Smida people? ”

"Oh, he's in the room. Everyone just subconsciously replied.

Kevin nodded in thanks, and then hurried upstairs, leaving everyone talking. It is estimated that these people may have to go to the Empire to find out, but judging from the Empire's practice, they may need to have a meeting first, and this group of people is very slow. Although it has been negotiated, they may still regret it at any time, but as long as the Smecta people die, this matter can be considered over, and they don't have such a strong sense of justice to find the truth, right?

Knocking on the door of the Smecta people, the Smitta people were also taken aback when they saw Kevin: "You didn't ...... Oh, you're cured?"

"yes," Kevin smiled, "yes, I have something to ask you." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have much to say to you, if you want to ask about the last time, I have the right to keep silent. "The Smecta people wanted to close the door after they finished speaking.

Kevin grabbed the door frame: "Wait, I'm not asking you this. ”

"What are you doing? I'm not welcome you! You get out. "The Smecta people tried to push Kevin out.

"Don't worry, I have money, I can give you money. Kevin hurriedly tried to dig into his pockets.

"I don't want your money, you get out!" the Smecta man raised his voice.

Kevin couldn't fight him, so he had to let go, and the Smitters slammed the door hard and locked Kevin out. The news from the crow has arrived: "The window is closed, I can't get in." ”

"It seems that he has a deep grudge against me," Kevin sighed, "and it's no wonder, after all, I exposed the fact that he became a dog in public." ”

The raven replied, "Can you still ask him out so night?" or let him relax in a few days. ”

"No," Kevin replied, "the longer it drags on, the higher the risk, and it has to be done tonight." ”

However, it was only noon, and it was still early in the evening, so Kevin was not in a hurry, so he went back and rested. A moment later, the ambassador and Sain returned one after another, and the two chariots also stopped in front of the embassy. Kevin didn't have any reservations, and laid out all the negotiations, these people are trustworthy people, and he more or less expects them to come up with some ideas.

But this topic is not easy, talking to the necromancer and pulling others to take the blame, these things sound like villains are the only doing, and once they are revealed, they will really be killed as villains.

"What are your plans if this success comes to fruition?" asked the ambassador.

"Let me rest for a while after success. Kevin laughed, "The Empire shouldn't come to trouble me." ”

"The problem is this, the next group of domestic observers will come out about next month, and they were originally here to replace you. But if you do that, you must stay. The ambassador replied.

"Why?" Sain asked.

Kevin smiled bitterly: "After all, it was not easy to connect with the empire and the necromancer, once the person is replaced, then the line will be wasted." It's a shame to miss this opportunity. ”

Everyone's faces darkened slightly, in fact, no one wanted to stay here all the time, including Kevin himself. But things have come to this point, and everyone doesn't want to give up.

The ambassador encouraged everyone: "Don't worry, after the end of this place, when you return home, you will be promoted to a knighthood, and you will definitely not be treated badly." ”

Kevin nodded and pulled back to the topic: "We have one more thing right now, find a way to open the window of the Smida man's room, and then ask him out." ”

The ambassador nodded: "He may be alert and hide in the room and not come out." While you're negotiating, Van Meer has his guards behind him, and maybe they're going to leak something. ”

"Then there's no way," Kevin replied, "then force it." ”

The ambassador nodded: "Then I will inform everyone to gather tonight and ...... the Smida people."

"Wait," Kevin suddenly thought of some questions, "What if we can't assemble?" "They are not an empire or a church of light, and they are not necessarily coming from the Lou Paule Kingdom. If the Imperial people make an excuse at will, once they don't come, then I'm afraid a large group of people will not come.

But the method was soon there, and Sain spoke: "It's simple, gather everyone in the name of the celebration banquet." Even if we treat for a while, there's no reason to refuse, right?"

Everyone felt justified, it was noon, and there was still half a day before the evening. There are few materials here, and it is really a bit urgent to prepare for the dinner party in half a day, so I immediately started to act separately.

In the evening, ambassadors and members of the Observation Mission, members of the Church of Light, and a few kobold officials arrived at the embassy one after another. Of course, the embassy did not have such a large space, so it simply placed all the tables and chairs in the open space outside the house, and more than a dozen tables were lined up one after another until they reached the street.

The moonlight was bright tonight, the torches were soaring around, and Kevin and the others were busy cooking all afternoon. Little Spoon is doing her old job of burning fires, while the others do everything but make fires. Although Sain is the son of the regiment commander and has a noble status, after all, he is also formally trained by the recruit team, and his work is considered to be profitable.

In addition, the ambassador also specially hired more than a dozen kobold helpers to make the whole celebration banquet prosperous. Banners were even pulled out to allow countries to experience the atmosphere of Lou Pauler.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, it was already getting dark, and the ambassador saw that the people were almost coming, so he immediately walked to the middle and said two words: "Everyone, today is a special day, we have won a great victory in the crusade against the necromancer. Destroy the sprouts of darkness and, once again, let the light shine on the earth!"

The crowd howled, and many raised their glasses.

"Okay, let's raise a glass today, it's rare for us to have such a big event here, and we also set up a bonfire in the middle. If you're in the mood, you can dance in the middle. Show the customs of each country itself, exchange cultures, and create harmony together!" The ambassador casually snorted and raised his glass, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's do it!"

"!" The atmosphere was warm, for most people, it was indeed a long time since there had been such a feast here, and it was almost a pleasure to eat and drink for nothing. Only a few people had solemn faces, and they were a little out of place with the atmosphere around them, such as the people of the Empire. They could somehow feel that something was going on at this banquet, but there was no reason not to come, so they could only wait and see.

In a moment, the observers of several countries really jumped in the middle, and many countries had peculiar customs, and they liked to dance when they got together, and even brought their own musical instruments. The atmosphere here is warm, but it makes them very happy.

Kevin took a cup and found the Smitters in the crowd. At this time, he was alone in the corner, and his expression seemed to be about to slip away at any moment.

Kevin stepped forward: "Come on, come on, Smitter, I'll toast you." ”

"Sorry, I don't drink. The Smectarians flatly refused.

"Hey, don't be like that, happy today. Kevin tried to persuade him to drink.

"Hmph!" the Smitters ignored the people and got up and tried to escape.

Kevin caught up: "Don't go." ”

"What do you want to do?" the voice of the Smida people was raised, as if they were about to quarrel in the next moment, and everyone around them looked over.

Kevin still smiled: "Don't be like this, I just advise you to drink two more sips, maybe you won't be able to drink in the future." ”

Smitta's face changed instantly: "You ......"
