Chapter 1623: Provocation, Greed
"In that case, then why are you looking for me? Why do you think Nessrell would agree to such a proposal? Xia Duo asked in a deep voice.
"It's not that I think, it's the general trend, there are all kinds of risks for Nessrell to open up further, but the benefits are also huge, and it is impossible for the Seven Towers to let go of this opportunity if they are ambitious."
After speaking, Hildalana seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added, "I have received reliable information that the elven invaders who appeared in Sevilton not long ago were instructed by Ilfarang, in this case, your so-called allies are not reliable at all, once it is further opened, maybe it will be Ilfarang who will be the first to harvest, your good ally!" β
"Needless to say, those words that sow discord, who sent that invader is still undecided, even if it is really Ilfarang, it may just be a misunderstanding, as long as Comanso's hostility to Nessreel remains unchanged, the friendship between Nessreel and Comanso is unbreakable."
That said, but Xia Duo is not too sure, at least in the recent treaty of demon limitation, IlfarΓ£o does not seem to have shown the attitude that an ally should have.
But Hildalana may be right about the fact that the Seven Towers are indeed ambitious, and even knowing that Ilphalang is unreliable, it is likely that they will agree to open further.
And if you count the [Mithera], which has not yet been revealed, the Seven Towers may be far more daring than Hildarana imagined!
Could it be that the Floating City was built in response to the further opening of trade among the Northland Alliance?
Chateau had to make such a guess.
On the one hand, the Floating City shows great power, and on the other hand, it can also turn the originally long and undefended border into a strategic fortress that can be moved.
At that time, even if the ground is completely occupied by the elves, as long as the floating city does not fall, Nesserel will always exist.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to open up further, but the specific opening time needed to be carefully planned, and it couldn't be like the Demon Restriction Treaty, which came into effect that year.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo felt that he could agree to Hildaranna's request, and for now, even if the benefits of further opening up would outweigh the disadvantages of Nesseril, there was no need to agree so easily.
Especially if you just experienced such an embarrassing thing as the Demon Restriction Treaty, if you agree too quickly, it will inevitably make the elves gain an inch.
Want to open up? Yes, let's talk about the benefits first!
Specific to the present, in fact, no matter whether you want to lobby the Seven Towers or not, you will eat this wave of benefits first!
Thinking like this, Xia Duo showed more and more great trust in Ilfarang, and Hildalana frowned again and again when she saw this, "I thought that Lord Xia Duo was very wise, but I didn't expect to be so short-sighted. β
The so-called "his enemy, my hero", the elf's ridicule did not hurt Xia Duo in the slightest, he directly ignored the other party's words, but also did not interrupt the communication.
He believed that Hildalana would understand what he meant, and that the elves who wanted to refuse and welcome were not playing enough?
"Lord Shado, you have to be clear, what I said is beneficial to both you and me, as a collaborator, should this kind of thing also be calculated?"
"No, Lady Hildalana, you're wrong!"
Xia Duo shook his head, "What you said is good for Nessreel, but not necessarily good for me, or not directly good for me, it's the Seven Towers who should think about it, not me." But you didn't look for the Seven Towers, but found me, presumably with your consideration, so shouldn't I ask for some due rewards for this? β
At this time, Xia Duo is like an insatiable person, of course, the image of human beings in the eyes of the elves is almost always the same - greedy, cunning, impatient, violent, and Xia Duo does not care to behave a little worse.
He believed that no matter which other human with the ability to lobby the Seven Towers of Hildaranna found, she would pay a certain price, and maybe if he didn't want to, he would be despised by Hildalanna!
And at this time, he did not mean to refuse harshly, and he did not break the basis of cooperation, the so-called "buying and selling does not become benevolent", although there is no such proverb in the wizarding world, but there are words with similar meanings.
Hildalana thought twice and put forward her own conditions: "If you can guarantee that the people of the Seven Towers will definitely reject the relevant proposals, then whether it is the Secret Book of Spells, the Book of Spells, or the Mithril and Gold, I can give it to you." β
"No, no, Lady Hildalana, a good mage will always leave a way for himself, and you should know that I can't give you such a guarantee."
Although there was a moment when Xia Duo's heart was moved, especially when he was in urgent need of a large number of magic materials to build a floating city, he still gritted his teeth and refused.
This kind of guarantee that there is no way back, and it is also for an elf, he is really afraid that the other party will turn around and go to the Seven Towers to block his back road.
"In that case, then I can only exchange a message that you are interested in for a chance for you to come forward!"
"What's the news?" Shado asked.
"Are you interested in news from the Moon Shadow family?" Hildalana suddenly smiled, a beautiful smile, but there was a bit of desolation and sadness in this smile.
It was because of the last time Xia Duo asked her about the Moon Shadow family that she asked Brin to investigate, which led to Bryn's death.
Even though she knew that Bryn's death had little to do with Shado, Hildalanna couldn't help but feel resentful just thinking about it.
Since you're interested in the Moon Shadow family, be a little more interested and investigate for yourself!
At this moment, Hildalana seemed to have deliberately forgotten the possibility that Xia Duo might be the child of the elven destiny, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was in Nessreel, she really had the urge to make a move on the spot.
It's true to ask the other party to lobby, but it's also true to want to use the news of the Moon Shadow family to lure the other party to make a move, no matter which thing happens, Hildalanna won't lose.
In fact, just as Hildarana had predicted, Xia Duo was indeed interested in news from the Lunaris family.
Whether it was the Mithril Mine, which was not to be snooped on, or the other party's practice of completely erasing the traces of the existence of the Green Vine Tribe (including the traces in the memories of others), Xia Duo had a strong interest in that family.
I casually mentioned it when I was communicating with Hildalanna before, but I didn't expect the result to be there now.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo decided to agree to the other party's conditions, "Tell me everything you know, and then I will go to Severynton to meet with the master of the Seven Towers and lobby in person." β
"It's impossible, the information about the Moon Shadow family also contains Yerlan's secrets, I can only tell you the part that I can tell you, but I can guarantee that you will definitely not regret it after listening to it."
