Volume I: Chapter 81: Threats
As Yasinger entered, Peroni, Bartomy Bear, Buck Nash, and Tia Westwood also entered, making the empty living room suddenly tense.
"Excuse me, who are you..."The middle-aged fat man saw that Buck Nash, the king of Baentu, was actually walking behind the young man, and he sensed something, but he was not sure.
"I am the person you want to meet, and my name is Pandora Yasinger. Yasinger unceremoniously climbed on the sofa after speaking, while the four people behind him stood behind the sofa in an orderly manner.
"Ahem... It turned out to be you, the adult, the villain Guilford, please forgive me for the offense. The middle-aged fat man Guilford said with a sneer.
"The two behind me are Mr. Bergner and Archid Toth. Guildford introduced the old man and the young man of seventeen or eighteen respectively.
Yasinger just glanced at them as Guildford was introduced, and then didn't say anything.
Guildford didn't pay much attention to Ya Singer's behavior, but the topic was over, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became awkward, because the sound of Ya Singer entering the door just now made the three of them stand up from their seats, and they still maintained a standing posture until Guildford finished introducing himself, and Ya Singer had no intention of inviting them to sit down.
"Ahem..."
Guildford stood for a few seconds and then coughed a little embarrassedly, hoping to invite them to sit down because of Yasinger's attention, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting them sit down, just watched the three of them stand very calmly.
After a short stalemate in the scene, Guildford was a little impatient, but he was embarrassed to get angry on other people's territory, so he stood and began to tell Yasinger the purpose of this visit, "Mr. Yasinger, the contemptible person is the top diplomatic adviser of the adventurer's union, of course, I also have my own adventurer team, although it is not a famous team, but it is quite good on this continent. Guildford looked at Yasinger again in the middle of speaking, but the other party still did not react.
At this stage, Guildford was already a little out of his breath, although he was not an important figure as a diplomat in the Adventurers' Union, but with his reputation accumulated over the years, he would be treated with great courtesy no matter which country he went, but since Guildford met Yassinger, this young man did not seem to intend to save face for himself at all.
The two guys behind Guildford were also a little out of their breath, the older Berg was better, but the young Archid Toth was clearly angry.
"It's a bit hot and humid here, and this little brother looks like he's on fire!" Bartomi Bear, who was standing behind Yassinger, saw Archid's anger, but his master didn't intend to save face for these guys, so Bartomi Bear spoke tepidly, and drew his long sword a third of the length as he spoke.
Young Archid had received such a provocation, and when he saw that he was about to explode, he was stopped by Guildford.
"It's true that Maxwell is a little stuffy and irritating this season, but we're here with a sincere intention, and I'm sure Pandora Yasinger won't make us feel embarrassed. "Guildford is the best diplomat in the Adventurers' Guild, and he always gives the other side enough to talk and doesn't embarrass himself.
Finally, Yasinger was persuaded by this guy's language ability, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Guildford has come from afar, why don't we talk about the purpose of your visit while drinking coffee?" β
Seeing Yasinger finally speak, Guildford also let out a long breath, "If the adults are willing to let the little ones taste Baentu's coffee, it is naturally a good thing, and I will be respectful and obey." β
Not long after, a row of maids walked in from outside the living room, all of them were holding high-end silver trays in their hands, and fragrant coffee and different kinds of snacks were neatly placed in the trays, Guildford sat respectfully opposite Yassinger, although the opening was not friendly, but from now on the other party must have been ready to negotiate with him, Pandora Yasinger is a puzzling young man.
According to the official announcement, Buck Nash is still the king of the kingdom of Baentu, so only three people can sit in this meeting, the current king of Baentu, Buck Nash, the leader behind the scenes, Pandora Yasinger, and Guildford, the representative of the adventurers' union, and the two people behind him are also his entourage, so they are only qualified to stand and observe.
The coffee and snacks were almost finished, and Guildford was ready to cut to the chase, "King Buck, Mr. Yasinger, I have come this time to discuss the damage to the branch established by our Adventurers' Guild in your country during the civil war. β
Yasinger nodded and did not speak, motioning for the other party to continue, as for Buck Nash, it was completely a decoration.
"Although the Adventurers' Union has always been in the neutral stage, and the branches it has set up are sometimes in war-torn countries, the damage suffered this time is unprecedented, and almost all the branches of Barntu have been devastated, so the senior management of the Adventurers' Union takes this matter very seriously. β
"Mr. Guilford, I'm afraid you haven't learned the specifics of the matter. Buck Nash knew what he was going to say and wanted to explain.
"Buck, let him continue. β
Buck Nash stopped what he was about to say at the moment.
Seeing this, Guildford continued, "The Adventurer's Guild has always maintained neutral and friendly relations with the sixteen countries of the Northern Continent, but because of such a serious incident this time, it is also a big loss to the Adventurer's Guild, so the purpose of my visit this time is to hope that your country can compensate the Adventurer's Guild according to this incident." β
Guildford finally said the purpose of the trip after going around for a long time.
"Hmm. Yasinger replied in a nasal voice, then turned to Guildford Nunu for him to continue.
"In fact, the trade union has also made a preliminary investigation into the detailed history, most of the adventurer teams in the adventurer union are nationals of the local country, so many adventure teams in the Ba'ntu civil war are declaring war on your army out of self-defense consciousness, which we have also taken into account, but it is a bit excessive to innocently kill our non-Ba'ntu adventure teams and damage the branch hall stronghold set up by the trade union, so I hope that your country can make corresponding compensation for these things, so as to ensure that our adventurer union can continue to carry out activities in your country in the futureγ β
Ya Singer doesn't know much about this adventurer's union at present, so he can't judge the other party's current strength, but judging from the fact that the other party can directly dispatch three fifth-order magicians, the adventurer's union probably has a considerable number of high-level magicians, even if there is no existence of the sixth order, then there are probably not a few guys in the advanced stage of the fifth order.
Considering the problem of compensation, Yasinger is resistant from the bottom of his heart, among the three countries he currently commands, only Ba'entu is a relatively large country, and the economic wealth he holds is also the most abundant, even Ba'entu, who has just ended the civil war, the country's financial and material resources are far greater than the sum of the kingdoms of Dos and Orn, if the economic compensation proposed by the adventurer's union is compromised at this time, then after spending this more than the huge economy, I am afraid that the country will fall into an unstable situation.
"Lord Yasinger, this is some of the compensation matters that we have made preliminary statistics, please take a look at them. β
Seeing that Pandora Yasinger had not spoken, Guildford handed over the written application for compensation that had been prepared for him a long time ago.
Yasinger was a little unhappy when he saw a series of zeros on that list, but he didn't show it on his face, this negotiation of compensation seems to be the real purpose of the adventurer's union relying on its existing strength to forcibly blackmail itself, as for what guild loss is completely nonsense.
Yasinger pretended to be serious, read the items on the list, and looked up at Guilford, who stood there calmly as if nothing was wrong, waiting for his reply, it seemed that it was not the first time Guilford had done such a thing.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Guildford. Yasinger pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid that Baentu won't be able to cash in such a high amount of compensation now, so I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter." β
Guildford's always calm face finally couldn't hold back, the Adventurer's Guild is a more powerful existence than any country in the Northern Continent, and this guy in front of him is so faceless to give the Guild face, which makes Guildford finally unable to suppress his anger.
"Mr. Pandora Yasinger, there is one thing I have to warn you about, although you now have the territory and military power of the three kingdoms, but the adventurer's union is the support of the northern continent, and the strength contained in it is not something that three or two countries can compete with, so some things should not be too desperate. β
Threats, naked threats.
Before Yasinger could say anything, the people behind him were already unstable.
Fortunately, Yasinger didn't take Guildford's character seriously at all, otherwise it would have turned into a scuffle.
"I know and know very well what you said, if I refuse your request, will the Adventurers' Guild want to conquer the city and seize the three countries I have now?"
"Of course this is impossible, and the Adventurers' Guild certainly wouldn't do such a thing. Guildford explained, "But just because the Adventurers Union wouldn't do that doesn't mean other countries won't do it." β
