145. Conditions
When the disparity in strength reaches a certain level, force can often solve 80 percent of the problem.
But if the strength of the two parties is between them, or if they don't have a clear understanding of each other's means, then intrigue is the most common way for human beings to do without finding out the details of each other.
Truth be told, Ange himself doesn't know how many years he hasn't been so serious about a negotiation.
He is the head of the Kassel Academy, the current leader of the Secret Party, and has the title of the strongest hybrid of our time.
Whether it is among ordinary people or half-breeds, Ange's strength and power have undoubtedly reached a kind of peak.
So even when facing the school board, the mixed-race aristocracy of the old era, and the mixed-race family behind the secret party, Ange will choose to overwhelm people face-to-face.
No one would choose to anger this sturdy old lion, even if he was full of gray hair, but he was still the king of the lions, and no one would doubt the lion king's combat effectiveness.
Not to mention, Ange's Spirit of Words Time Zero is perfect for stabbing in the back.
Kill invisibly.
So even if everyone is very dissatisfied with Ange, but if they are not sure, no one will clash with Ange head-on, in case it is recorded in a small notebook, it is useless to sleep in the same bed with bodyguards every day for the rest of their lives.
Scientific studies have shown that the age of a person depends on the desires of the heart.
Movie stars in their 50s look as suave and impulsive as young men, but company employees in their 50s are ready to retire with bellies that are getting bigger day by day, because movie stars have greater desires. Desire makes people young.
And Angers' desires are......
Revenge.
This desire is more vigorous than any other desire, like the seed of a poisonous plant, which will take root and sprout into a great tree in the heart, and finally let the shadow of the tree cover the whole heart.
Ange was in much better shape than he seemed, and he could even return to the battlefield if he could.
This is a lion licking its claws all the time, waiting for revenge.
Some people even suspect that if it weren't for the fact that this old lion has been waiting for revenge in his heart, it is estimated that he would have died with some scum in the current half-breed.
So when Angers shows his strong side, everyone chooses to compromise and then take a step back, and Angers's goal is naturally achieved.
This trick can be described as tried, but it can't be used on Gu Bei.
Because Gu Bei and Ange are players who stand in the same position.
In terms of strength, Gu Bei's hard power may be a little weaker than Ange, and he is not as rich in combat experience as Ange, but he will have enough, and he will play enough, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in a real fight.
Moreover, Ange didn't know much about the emerging system of extraordinary powers, so naturally he wouldn't act rashly.
In terms of power, Angers has an orderly secret party and a talented Kassel Academy.
However, the secret party is treacherous, and opinions are not unanimous.
The Kassel Academy is also constrained by the school board, and although there are many talents, most of them are the ones with great potential but a promising future.
So Ange's men seem to have a lot of talent, but in reality there are no people to use.
The reason why Ange was elected as the leader of the secret party is because the major families need a spokesperson on the surface to lead the secret party, and the "strongest hybrid of our time" Ange is naturally the first candidate; On the other hand, it is because Ange is one of the few remaining members of the original Lionheart, and the leader of the original Lionheart, Menek Cassel, is the former leader of the Secret Party.
Under various circumstances, Ange became the current leader of the secret party and the president of the Kassel Academy, but a closer look will reveal that there is no background behind this guy, and he was purely pushed out as a puppet.
It is estimated that the group of people who elected Ange to become the leader of the secret party did not expect that the young man who survived the mourning incident in the summer of that year would one day be able to sit on an equal footing with them with his strength.
But even so, it is true that there is no one available in Angers.
On the other hand, on Gu Bei's side, most of the people in Nadu Tongli are loyal, and those who are not loyal will carve a soul brand to make him compulsorily loyal.
Not to mention the middle and low-level members who can't get in touch with the core secrets, but anyone who has some power in their hands, one of them is a spiritual lock that Gu Bei personally put on the spiritual lock, even if he learns the soul technique, he can't unlock it.
The whole thing is open, except for Lu Mingfei, who can't move because of Lu Mingze, no one can be spared.
The personal disciple Su Xiaoqiao is not good, and he must be locked up.
It's not that I can't believe it, it's just that the magic involves too much, so it's just an insurance policy.
In this comparison, Gu Bei's Everywhere can simply blow up the people under Ange, but this is an ideal situation.
The biggest possibility is that the old nobles heard that Ange was going to snatch the magic art, and then jointly sent people to Ange to grab the magic first, and how to divide it is a matter later.
Just like the eight robbers of the year.
So in terms of power, the two sides are also evenly matched.
However, although Ange is the leader of the secret party, he and the secret party are two parts, it is better to say that he obtained the magic technique, in addition to the need to slay the dragon, to some extent, it is also used to guard against the secret party.
He didn't want to be stabbed in the back by the wine bags and rice bags when he and his students were fighting the dragons on the battlefield.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Ange will not choose to join forces with the secret party.
Moreover, he heard that the secret party had already formulated a plan to take advantage of it, so he gave up the original plan to wait for Gu Bei in the academy and set off to come to the Celestial Empire instead, just to get the magic one step ahead of the secret party.
Ange's secret visit to the Celestial Empire this time was very low-key, and it was also to prevent the secret party family from hearing about it.
In short, he is bound to obtain the technique of foreign arts.
But he wanted it, but Gu Bei didn't really want to give it.
In Gu Bei's plan, the magic was a tool that could only be mastered by Everywhere, and was used to balance humans and half-bloods and dragons.
The original plan was that when the half-breeds and humans wiped out the dragons, there would inevitably be divisions within the half-bloods, creating two forces: the coexistence faction and the ruling faction.
After all, although the half-breed has two bloodlines, the heart is the human heart.
The human heart is unpredictable.
Hybrids will inevitably become the new dragons, and humans need hybrids to fight dragons, so what about competing against hybrids?
By technology?
Don't be funny, the hybrids surpass humans in every way, their minds and brains are also included, and their technology is at least twenty years ahead of humans.
It is said that as soon as Jobs made the fruit, the Kassel equipment room equipped the commissioners of the executive department with a full set of upgraded imitation fruits, which they named vegetables.
In addition to exploding, it is already capable of running mid-level artificial intelligence in terms of hardware.
So it's a joke that humans rely on technology to defeat hybrids.
That's when magic comes in handy.
Because of the rejection of dragon blood, the half-breed cannot practice completely, while humans can rely on the magic to reach the sky in one step.
Magic is the last hole card of mankind.
If at that time, Gu Bei would never use foreign magic to trade with half-breeds, after all, no country would trade with a hostile country with its own box egg technology.
But later, after receiving Old Tang, Lu Mingfei, Fenrir, and Jรถrmungad, the core concept of Nadutong changed.
In addition to defending race, ethnicity, and nation, we will not use force unless necessary, and will pursue a peaceful policy.
To put it simply, dragons, hybrids, and humans are allowed to coexist on an equal footing without endangering race, ethnicity, or country, while abiding by relevant laws.
In this case, the positioning of the anomaly naturally changes.
At this time, the magic is to enforce the law, maintain order, and establish a guarantee of peace.
From a box of eggs, it has become a gun in the hands of the people's people, although it is not something that can be sold casually, but at least there is talk.
However, selling to foreign devils, Gu Bei was still a little uneasy.
Nothing else, my heart responds.
However, after Ange appeared in front of Gu Bei, Gu Bei suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Turning Hu into a Buddha.
It is also called Lao Tzu Hua Hu, which refers to the legend that Lao Tzu went west to Guguan in Taoism and went to the Western Regions (including Tianzhu) to incarnate the Buddha Shakyamuni and educate the people of the Western Regions and Tianzhu.
There is also a corresponding legend in the one-person world, but the legend is a powerful alien, and the credibility of the legend is much higher.
Although Gu Bei does not have the strength of Lao Tzu, this time, he also wants to be "Lao Tzu" once.
If it succeeds, it will not be as simple as turning Hu into a Buddha.
After all, the Secret Party is the largest force among the global hybrids today, and it might be a good idea to divide them and break them up from within.
Just like the plan made by Hua Yi to deal with the five great families.
However, the plan of the flower is to discord, and to provoke contradictions between the five great families through magic.
And Gu Bei's plan is to assimilate, so that the other party's people become our own people, everyone is comrade, this method may be difficult for others to do, but in the hands of Gu Bei, who can do something for the soul, it is easy.
Moreover, I haven't heard of the means of defending the soul of the half-blood, and even the dragon king, when facing the soul attack, can only rely on the strong soul quality to resist.
Gu Bei thought about it and felt that the possibility of the plan failing was very small.
Now that the other party is begging to come to the door to do business, then there is naturally no reason to refuse this business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Gu Bei squinted, his fingers fell on the clay pottery teacup, and with a single pick of his fingertips, the tea was controlled and turned into a real water snake, winding and flying around Gu Bei's fingers.
The little water snake coiled on Gu Bei's fingers, Gu Bei rubbed the cold "snake head" with one finger, and slowly spoke: "Principal, let's open the skylight and say something, I know your intention this time, but you also know that the magic is not my own property, but belongs to all the members of Nadutong, and belongs to the people of the Celestial Empire, even if I am the founder of Nadutong, but I am no longer the chairman of Nadutong, and there are some things that I said." โ
If it weren't for Ange's detailed investigation of Gu Bei, the Strange Arts, and the formation of Nadutong before he came, he would probably have been bluffed by Gu Bei's words.
However, the magic was researched by Gu Bei himself from the beginning, and everything was also formed because of the magic art, and it was only the first magic that could be used everywhere, not the first to have everything.
This determines the subordination relationship, although Everywhere is a joint venture, but whether it is a strange art or Anywhere, it is Gu Bei in terms of ownership, that is to say, Gu Bei has absolute right to deal with the two.
As for the people of the whole country......
How many people in the whole country know about the arts?
Gu Bei's words were purely farting.
Fortunately, Ange is cultivated, otherwise another person would probably have scolded here.
Gu Bei's opening move was to retreat, although it seemed to be a refusal, but he did not completely refuse, but left a trace of room for negotiation, and there was a meaning in and out of his words.
Gotta add money.
Ange is an old man, so naturally he won't fail to understand Gu Bei's meaning, but he didn't feel indignant because Gu Bei wanted to talk about the conditions, but was relieved.
There is no direct refusal, and the negotiation of conditions means that Gu Bei also has the intention of cooperation.
At least a good start.
Ange glanced up at the fixed square that Gu Bei placed on the knife rack, and said, "Fifty alchemy swords, you can choose from the ice cellar in Kassel." โ
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows, it seems that Ange's intelligence network is still quite good, so quickly he knew that the Chen family had exchanged an alchemy sword for an alien art.
There may be a relationship here that Hua Yi sent people to spread information to fuel the fire, but the news can be obtained so quickly......
I'm afraid there are ghosts in the five major families?
Moreover, opening the mouth is fifty handful......
It's a little cheaper.
This alchemy sword is not another alchemy sword.
If it was fifty ancient alchemy swords like Dingfang, it would naturally be worth it, and it would even be a lot higher than Gu Bei's psychological price.
But as mentioned earlier, this kind of alchemy ancient knife in the world adds up to less than fifty, and no matter how powerful Kassel is, no matter how long the secret party has been inherited, he can't come up with so many alchemy ancient knives.
The alchemical sword in Ange's mouth refers to a new version of the alchemy sword made with modern technology.
Although the technology is the same, it is also made of precious metals with the Philosopher's Stone, but most of the metals used in the new version of the Alchemy Sword are high-tech synthetic metals, and the Philosopher's Stone is also extracted from the souls of chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.
And the metal of the Alchemy Ancient Knife, in addition to the meteorite outside the sky, is the immortal dragon bone, and the philosopher's stone is also the standard human soul.
The higher and lower of the two can be seen at a glance.
In terms of value, fifty new versions of alchemy swords are almost equivalent to the fixed square in Gu Bei's hand plus the genuine village rain.
Although the imitation product in Chu Zihang's hand is also close to the original, it is not enough.
This price is enough to buy the method of cultivation of different arts, after all, it is more than what the Chen family gives, but there is still a gap with Gu Bei's psychological expectations.
Gu Bei shook his fingers, and the little water snake coiled on his fingers also shook and swayed, and spit out the letter.
Gu Beidao: "This price belongs to the Chen family, Principal Ange, the secret party is not the Celestial Empire after all, I sold it to the Chen family is in line with the national righteousness, I can sell it to you, others will only say that I forget my ancestors." โ
Looking at Gu Bei's look of "add a little more", Ange frowned: "You can make a price." โ
"Refreshing!"
Gu Bei smiled, waved his hand and pointed at the little snake, and said, "I have three conditions. โ
The expression on Ange's face remained the same.
"First, I can teach the magic to the students of Kassel, but not the secret party and the half-blood family."
Ange nodded, he thought the same way, although he still wanted Gu Bei to teach the people in the executive department, but he didn't speak.
Bargain at least until the other party finishes the price.
Gu Bei raised another finger: "Second, Nadutong wants to establish a branch in Kassel, and all Kassel students who learn magic are nominally owned by the Nadutong branch." โ
Ange frowned, obviously having a lot of opinions on this article, but he still listened patiently to what Gu Bei said.
"Third ......"
Gu Bei pondered and glanced at the fixed prescription on the knife rack on the side: "I don't want fifty alchemy swords, but in exchange, I want to watch all the alchemy-related literature and cheats within Kassel and the secret party, and you have to find me a person who is proficient in alchemy as an explanation and translation." โ
