Lord of War

  As a special envoy who can be sent out by the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance, in addition to being able to speak well and witty, the most important thing is to have a fairly thick skin.

   But even this special envoy to Lane, after seeing Sean’s behavior, he deeply felt the gap between them. At this moment, he finally knew why the big figures in the Chamber of Commerce had waited to slap Sean to death before, because if it was him, he also wished to slap Sean to death.

  In the decades since he started to serve the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he has also experienced many winds and heavy rains, but he has never seen a person like Sean who swallows a gift without changing his face and gives an order to evict a guest. In normal social etiquette, if the main talker does not want to make any negotiations from the beginning, then he will never accept any good gifts from the other party.

  But Sean completely ignored this unspoken rule. Not only did he accept the gift from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but he also ordered the chasing of guests without any rules.

  This is basically a robber-like behavior.

  Instead of ordinary people, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will definitely make such people spit out more than ten times the compensation as a price.

   But in the face of Sean Connery, the envoy who came to represent the capital of trade, he was not strong at all. What he has in his heart at this moment is deep helplessness and sorrow-feeling pain for himself to be such a negotiation target. Similarly, he suddenly understood why he was so shocked by the answer given by the Chamber of Commerce when he asked if there was any bottom line on the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

"It's up to you."

   In just four words, the envoy felt that his opportunity had come, and it was entirely possible to take another step forward in his career.

   But now, in the eyes of this special envoy, that is the end of his career.

  Of course, if he can successfully persuade Sean at a small price, then he may still go further. But watching Sean accept the Azure Crystal without changing his face, and then he looked indifferent as if he hadn't received any gifts at all. The envoy knew that Sean is definitely a difficult character-it is absolutely impossible to take Sean at a small price.

  Because the initiative is no longer on his side.

  If he can, he really wants to slap Sean to death. But let alone whether he has this strength. Killing a duke in a kingdom, even if the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is in full swing, he dare not do anything like this-at least doing so without a valid reason is equivalent to provoking the ancient laws of aristocracy. Therefore, even if Sean completely ransacked the underground spots of the entire Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Black Market, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance could only force them to surrender Sean by exerting pressure on the Principality of Lane, and only then could they attack Sean.

  In any circle, there will be different rules bound by it.

  And any overstepping behavior will incur punishment from the nobles.

  In today’s world, there is only one person who does not hesitate to be bound by any rules and constantly breaks the default unspoken rules of various circles. Can still live well.

  This person is today's Lane noble.

  The Duke of Void, Sean Connery.

   "Let me introduce myself first." Seeing Sean waved as if he was waving a fly, the envoy could only squeeze a standard smile after all.

  But, don’t wait for the envoy to finish. Sean already impatiently said again: "Who are you and me? I really have nothing to say with the people in your chamber of commerce alliance. Don’t think I don’t know what you wanted to do to me, if it weren’t for the war later. It happened suddenly, do you think I can still sit here now?"

"I think there must be some misunderstanding in this." The envoy felt that his facial muscles seemed to be a little stiff. "Although I don't know why this misunderstanding was caused, I think there are some things that should be communicated with each other. , So that even if there is any misunderstanding, it can be properly resolved. Avoid deepening the misunderstanding and affect our relationship with each other."

  In fact, even this envoy could not believe what he was saying now. Because at the beginning, it was himself who kept putting pressure on Ryan, and at that time he was naturally under the command of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. At that time, the attitude of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was to wait for Sean to be taken apart immediately. So in his attitude towards the Royal Family of Ryan, he was naturally very tough and high.

  It’s just that he didn’t expect that one day he would actually be reduced to the level of humbly pleasing others. He even forgot how many years he hadn’t done this.

  However, the current situation forced him to do this.

   Facing the special envoy's low voice. Others may feel that it is superior and refreshing, but for Sean, this kind of meaningless thing does not do him any good at all.

  He is a typical person who doesn’t see rabbits and scatters eagles. How could such a mere blue crystal satisfy Sean’s appetite?

  You know, what big storms and waves have Shaun haven’t seen before? He is not even afraid of starting a war with the Chamber of Commerce, and is he still afraid of a small foreign envoy at this moment?

   "What do I have to do with you?" Sean curled his lips in disdain, "Don't say how familiar we seem to be."

"In business, we always pay attention to one-time birth and two-time familiarity." This envoy is also cheeky, and doesn't mind Sean's cynicism at all. He still keeps a smile and said, "Master Shaun, if you misunderstand us before If you have any dissatisfaction, you can say it..."

"Hey, you asked me to say it." Sean once again interrupted the other party without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking. The rapid response made the envoy want to slap himself severely. Slap, "The gems you just gave me are actually pretty good-looking..."

  The envoy rolled his eyes: This is not nonsense!

  Crystal of azure blue, but it is the same elemental crystal as the scarlet flame, emerald stone, and black rock steel. In the hands of some nobles, these gems may be high-level gems worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but in the hands of magicians, they are powerful magic materials that may be worth millions of gold coins. This is also true. The reason why these gems are valuable treasures in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

This envoy dared not report to the Trade Capital that he had given Sean a piece of azure blue crystal. He directly replaced it with the words "highest purity sapphire". After all, this level of sapphire was used as a gift The meeting ceremonies of people with an identity of Sean’s level are not too rude or too expensive, at least not leaving a bad impression on the trade capital.

  The reason why this special envoy gave such a blue crystal was actually the idea of ​​saving the country by playing a curve. Because according to the information he collected. Sean attaches great importance to the sister Cecilia, and his sister is a real magician who specializes in the fire element-if it weren't for the envoy who couldn't get a scarlet flame, He would not bring a piece of azure blue crystal over.

  In his opinion, as long as Cecilia is dealt with. Then Sean can be dealt with.

  Although this idea was true, but after he heard what Sean said next, he no longer wanted to slap Sean to death, but to slap himself to death.

Because Sean’s next words are: "...but there is only such a piece, which is still quite monotonous. Although I don’t know much about gems and the like, I also know that such gems must have many colors, like What kind of green, yellow, red, etc., if you give me a few more gems of this kind but of different colors, then I may forget what we have misunderstood."

   emphasizes green, yellow, and red, and it is still "such a gem of a different color". If this envoy did not know what Sean meant, then he would not be qualified to sit in his current position.

If he can, he really wants to slap Sean, and then scolded him fiercely: You thought that the crystals of high purity elements such as Scarlet Flame, Emerald Stone, and Black Rock Steel were there. Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market? Do you have it if you want it? Even the azure crystal in his hand was collected and concealed by him after all the hard work. If he can take out something of this level as a gift, his current status will be one of the presidents of the top ten chambers of commerce!

"This, Lord Sean..." However, even if he tried to curse Sean no matter how much he wanted, the envoy still lacked the courage, and the bead of sweat on his forehead had clearly indicated his current situation. Panicking, the smile on his face has even turned into a local twitch of some facial muscles. "...This kind of gemstone is not easy to find. Even in the trading capital, I am afraid that there will be no stock..."

"It seems that the misunderstanding between us is still very deep." Xiao En shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, since you are not sincere, then I won't force it.... You should leave. I still have a lot of things to do. Just forgive me for not sending it."

"Master Shaun..." The envoy didn't expect Shaun's face to change, and the smile that appeared a second before seemed like he didn't recognize him. "What's the matter, we can discuss it slowly. .You should also know that. I really don’t have the authority to extract elemental crystals like Scarlet Flame, Emerald Stone, and Black Rock Steel. Even the blue crystal you just took away is still accidental. Obtained those that have not yet been sent to the trading capital."

   "Oh." Xiao En raised his eyebrows, "This envoy, I haven't asked your name yet."

  As soon as he saw Sean raise his eyebrows, the envoy knew it was going to be bad, but he still had to open his mouth and replied: "It would be fine if you call me Lordsk, Lord Sean."

Sure enough, Sean quickly said again: "Lordsk, you have to know, in fact, I am a very good person. Since there are no Scarlet Flames, Emerald Stones, and Black Rock Steels, it doesn't matter.... …But you know, I just finished a war, and now my territory is in a state of desperation, and I need some supplies. So, you can send me freely for the entire territory to lead the people. The rations of the year, oh, yes, and this force must also need to be supplemented, so let’s have another 100,000 slaves. Also, the damage caused by the war requires many parts of my territory to be repaired and repaired. For reconstruction, you will provide a few more batches of craftsmen and these construction materials."

  Lordsk was completely dumbfounded when he heard Sean’s lion open his mouth: "Shaw...Sir, this...this, you want my life."

   "This Duke still has a lot of affairs involved, so I won't accompany you." Xiao En said righteously, and then stood up and left directly, obviously without the intention to continue talking.

As a result, Rodesker was completely anxious: "Master Sean, don’t go, we can still discuss things... or else you can give me another day or two, I’ll go back and ask. Now, after all, these things you are talking about are very involved, I...I can't be the master."

   "It's okay, Mr. Lordske, I've said everything, I'm a good talker." When Sean turned around, he was already smiling, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

  Looking at Sean's face changing so comfortably, Rodesker really wanted to blur Sean's face: What kind of talk is Nima's! ? It is simply the Overlord Clause!

  Even the worst street kind of gold coin can buy several slaves, 100,000 slaves are no less than 30,000 Pan-Continent gold coins, and this is already the cheapest in the list that Sean asked for. To provide the three-year rations for all the leaders of Shaun’s entire void now, the cost would not be less than one million Pan-Continental gold coins.

   But if you compare it with the last post-war reconstruction work, then this ration worth one million gold coins doesn’t matter at all. Because the reconstruction of the territories after the war is really a bottomless pit, especially the scale of Shaun’s Void Territory today is simply heartbreaking: only the Tingqiyin Territory, which was one of the key areas of war-torn care before, was rebuilt, and there was no thirty. It is impossible to complete more than 10,000 Pan-Continent gold coins. If the labor costs of the craftsmen are included, then at least 500,000 Pan-Continent gold coins will be required.

  And this is just a Ting Qiin collar.

  Behind, there are the Chiraff, Berbish, and Yedby collars, which are covered by more terrible fighting conditions.

  The budget estimate for post-war reconstruction alone will never be less than 5 million pan-continental gold coins.

  But in the eyes of people who are really knowledgeable, the actual cost is usually 20% to 30% higher than the budget estimate.

There is almost no need to go back to report, and Rodesker knows that the headquarters of the Trade City will definitely not allow the extremely rude lion to open the mouth of Sean. After all, the material that was looted in the Black Market before is not as valuable as this. The budget for post-war reconstruction is estimated to be much lower, and it may even be even worse if it is sold again at some point.

  But Lodeske also knew that if he did not agree to the sky-high asking price of the Void Duke, he would definitely not be able to make a difference.

  So, Rodske really doesn’t know where Sean’s "good talk" is embodied.
