Two-dimensional shuttle from scratch

"Having said so much, I don't want to say that our side is stronger than yours. On the contrary, there is still a gap in strength between you and me. Not to mention Emilia's character disadvantage, just say that Emilia's silver-haired half-elf Status is a fatal disadvantage. Lord Crusch is the head of the Karsten family, and one influence is in the capital and the other is on the border. It can be said that there is a big difference. But if it is not the case, Lord Crusch Do you feel free to form an alliance with us?"

"The reason why I said the above facts is to explain to Mr. Crusch that our side does have disadvantages, but we are also qualified to negotiate. Next, let's talk about the rewards. It's very simple. The honor will be given to you, Mr. Crusch. And you will give up [-]% of the white whale's body, how about it?".

Following Zheqian's series of words, Crusch didn't say a word, because she really couldn't find a chance to interrupt Zheqian, and what Zheqian said was convincing.

Seeing Kursh Zheqian who was lost in thought, he was not in a hurry, and started to drink the steaming cup of tea by himself. While drinking the tea, he looked at the surrounding layout and so on. After about half an hour After hours, Crusch finally raised his head.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that what you said is very reasonable. In terms of strength and interests, the conditions you and I have given for the alliance are extremely suitable. I can't find a reason to refute it. But I would like to ask, what is your basis for saying that the white whale will appear?" Crusch asked, staring at Zheqian's eyes.

"Let me just say this, believe it or not, but I dare to use my name to ensure that the beluga will appear. It is indeed difficult or almost impossible for us alone to eat the beluga. However, Wang Xuan has five Isn’t it human? I don’t force it, and whether you believe it or not, the decision to form an alliance or not is in your hands.” Facing Crusch’s questioning, Zheqian’s expression didn’t change at all, and he still held his hand calmly. Sipping tea from the cup, he said lightly.

"I believe in you" Crusch said suddenly.

"Hehe, does the head of the Karsten family trust others so easily?" Zheqian put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"Cursch-sama has the 'Guardian of Wind Seeing' meow, and Crusch-sama said that if someone lies in front of her, she can see the evil wind of deception blowing from the liar meow." Standing behind Crusch Meowgirl Felix explained for Crusch.

Although Zheqian knew about it a long time ago, at this time he still pretended to have just learned about it and said, "Hehe, that's really amazing, that's fine. Now that we have decided to form an alliance, let's sign the contract."

Crusch looked at the contract that Zheqian pushed over, and after confirming that the content was not different from what they said just now, he happily wrote the seven characters of Crusch Karsten at the bottom of the contract.

Looking at the contract that didn't actually pay any price, Zheqian couldn't help but think of the price Subaru Natsuki paid after death returned several times in the original work.At that time, Subaru Natsuki promised to give a part of the mining rights to the magic ore in the Ariol Forest in Roswaal's territory, and provided news about the white whale, and he had to rely on Anastasia's power to successfully promote the alliance.

This is the difference between having power or not. The fight between himself and Julius is definitely the most important thing.If you are like an ant, it is impossible to form an alliance with an elephant. Even when the elephant is in a good mood, you will be worried that you will fall to your death if you are put on his back to enjoy the cool.

After the contract was signed, Zheqian didn't stop there, because he knew that he still needed to gather some help.Through Zhou Xin's core crystal, he already knew that this battle with the white whale might be ten times or a hundred times more tragic than in the original book!

The one who sent him out was Wilhelm, the butler of the Karsten family and also a sword demon.

"Moby Dick!" After sending him out of the mansion, Wilhelm's eyes instantly became sharper, the sword energy on his body overflowed uncontrollably, and the air around him even became a little distorted.

Suddenly, Wilhelm bowed deeply to Zheqian and said, "Master Zheqian, I want to thank you. My gratitude to you is no less than that to my lord, Duke Crusch Karsten. , thank you for giving me this opportunity to subdue the hateful monster that took away my beloved wife."

Looking at Wilhelm, who was full of white hair and looked hale and spirited, Zheqian noticed that there was strong exhaustion and cloudiness in his eyes.

Indeed!The love between Wilhelm and the previous generation of Juggernaut is so strong, the remorse over the past ten years must be burning more and more intensely.

Zorsen didn't say anything, and after getting into the dragon carriage driven by Wilhelm, he went straight back to Emilia's mansion in the capital.

------------

Chapter 49 Anastasia!

After chatting with Wilhelm along the way, he arrived in front of the mansion in a short while, but just as he got out of the car, he found a person rushing up.

But looking at the young man striding towards him, instead of panicking, Zheqian showed a smile on his face, because as he expected, it was the purple-haired Julius who came.

"Excuse me, Master Anastasia, please tell me, can you move?" Julius's expression was normal, as if he wasn't the one who lost the bet yesterday.

Zorichi took a look, and Julius was standing with a child who reached his waist.The child is about 1.3 meters tall and about four feet tall, with orange-orange hair and blue eyes, and his pair of cat ears is what attracts attention.Zheqian knew that this was one of the deputy heads of the orc mercenary group in Anastasia's camp in the original work, named Mimi. Although she looked like a child, her combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

But even though he knew, Zheqian still asked with curiosity on his face knowingly: "Hey, Julius, who is this?".

"Oh, let me introduce, this is my sister, Mimi."

"This is Mrs. Emilia's Zakusen."

Zheqian watched Mimi scratching her own animal ears to show off, turned around and asked Wilhelm to go back first, and then agreed to Julius' invitation.

On the way to meet Anastasia following Julius, Mimi kept bouncing up and down like her immature appearance, and kept asking some questions: "Big brother, I heard that you defeated Julius yesterday." Brother Rius, really?"

Julius, who was leading the way, couldn't help but pause after hearing Mimi's question, and seemed to stagger, Zheqian couldn't help smiling, and replied without any complacency: "It's just a coincidence, our It is true that I won the bet, but if it is a real battle, it is not certain who will win or lose.”

As the curious Mimi kept asking questions all the way, Zheqian also arrived at a hotel while answering non-stop.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Zheqian saw Anastasia with long purple hair and blue pupils wearing a white hat, and wearing thick clothes even in summer, in the most conspicuous place of the hotel. She was snow-white as if she was strong in the sun And the stubborn snowflake.

When Zheqian saw Anastasia, Anastasia obviously noticed him too, and she, who looked like a snow elf, smiled sweetly at Zheqian and motioned Zheqian to sit down.

"I heard that you defeated my knight Julius yesterday, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied, but he didn't want to tell him the specific process. Can you satisfy my curiosity?" Anna Tasia put her hands on the table and propped her chin and asked with a smile.

"Since Julius is unwilling to say it, how can I say it brazenly regardless of the spirit of chivalry?" Zheqian said with a smile.

Seeing that the smile on Anastasia's face grew wider and she opened her mouth to say something, Zheqian smiled and interrupted without hesitation: "I know that as the best businessman in Kararagi, you believe in one principle, 'Mr. If you put your own goals first, the other party will be unhappy', but as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter. Just like the famous saying in your hometown, 'time is money', I don't want to waste your precious time too much, so I have It’s fine to just say what’s going on.”

A hint of astonishment flashed in Anastasia's eyes. It was obvious that Zheqian's interruption caught her off guard, but as a veteran negotiating with all kinds of people at the negotiating table, her eyes soon regained her composure.

"Hehe, you are really anxious. Then I'll just say it straight. I heard that you have news about the white whale and that you have formed an alliance with Crusch to hunt down the white whale, right?" Anastasia asked this question Stare closely at Zheqian's eyes.

Hearing Anastasia's question and seeing her staring at her eyes, Zheqian did not answer directly, but tapped the table with the fingers of his left hand, while returning a look full of deep meaning.

"Don't deny it? First of all, I don't know where you got the news about the white whale, but I don't think you are like a liar, so it should be true. But, have you really seen the white whale?" Whale? Or do you really understand the strength of the white whale and how terrifying it is?" Anastasia asked Zheqian without saying a word.

"I would like to hear more about it." Zheqian's answer was very simple, only four words.

"Let me give you a brief introduction to the white whale first. Let me boast. As a fairly successful businessman, I am responsible for a large amount of goods circulation and commercial trade migration between Kalaragi and the capital every year. Losses account for at least 20.00% of the total trade volume, so I have also studied the beluga carefully."

"First of all, in terms of appearance, the beluga is more than 50 meters long, and it is undoubtedly a super giant monster. Let's talk about the ability of the beluga. The beluga can fly in the air. Although I don't know how it does it, but the shape It is so huge that it can indeed soar into the sky. According to many sources, the white whale can also spray a terrifying spray that can wipe out the existence of human beings from the world. Confirmation. Because according to this statement, existence is erased from the world, how can he know about this person?"

Anastasia paused for a moment, took a sip of water and continued: "Perhaps the above-mentioned introduction still makes you not understand or have a specific impression of the threat of the beluga whale. Let me give you a few examples. If it is too far away, Let’s just talk about this year. As far as I know, there are three big business groups that have completely disappeared because of the white whale. They are the McCazarley business group with a great swordsman at the beginning of the year, and the Merchant Group with two great magicians and a big sword Howe’s Sbrakage Merchant Group, and the Qianli Chamber of Commerce, which is second only to us in business power, has five great swordsmen and a talented four-element great magician, all of which are completely wiped out.”

"It's ok, I know what you want to express, President Anna. Do you think that even if we form an alliance with Karsten's leader, Crusch, it is not enough to hunt the white whale?" Zheqian listened to Anata After West Asia's words, he still said with a smile.

"Hehe, I didn't say that." Anastasia also smiled.

"Let me just say it. First of all, you called me here today. As far as you said, the strength of the white whale is undeniable. It is indeed very strong, and the reason why you called me here is because you think I will need it." Isn’t your help? The secret of negotiation depends on how much preparation you have made before sitting at the negotiating table. You have to use what you have and what the other party wants to attract people’s appetite. So, President Anna, you feel that you are lacking Without your help, we can't hunt white whales, can we?" Zheqian said while tapping the table with his fingers.

------------

Chapter 50 People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!

"How about this, even if you are a competitor of Wangxuan, let me analyze the strength of our two families for you. You should have heard of Crusch's Hundred People Slash and the sword ghost Wilhelm, right? A sword I don’t need to tell you how many great swordsmen the ghost’s strength can be? And the reason why you think we don’t have the strength to hunt white whales is mainly because of your doubts about our strength? Let me explain first, this time to hunt white whales, Earl Roswaal, the court mage, should not make a move, does it sound like he has completely lost confidence in us?"

"But do you still remember the words about Emilia in the king's election council? Emilia has a big elf named Parker, and Emilia's strength is definitely more than a hundred times stronger than you imagined, Not to mention my three-legged cat kung fu, Rem is not an ordinary maid, Subaru Natsuki is far more special than you think."

"I have briefly introduced our strength. Next, can I make a hypothesis, assuming that only the two of us have successfully hunted the beluga whale. How will it affect the king's election? I can not hide anything Let me tell you, the condition of our alliance with the head of Karlsten is to give up the honor of hunting the beluga whale, and the carcass of the beluga will be divided into [-] and [-], and we will take eight. Regardless of the latter, we will Let’s talk about the honor of hunting the white whale. Chairman Anna also said just now that countless business associations have disappeared due to the white whale in a year. The white whale has had a great negative impact on the safety of the people and the development of the economy. And if there is a sudden news at this time, the Moby Whale has already been hunted under the leadership of Karsten’s leader, Mr. Crusch. Do you think it is possible for Karsten’s leader, who is already popular for the king’s election, to be directly elected?”

"In addition, if the white whale is really hunted, do you think the Karsten family will use this momentum to enter the business world? With all due respect, with the power of the Karsten family and the honor of hunting the white whale, Anna President, how long do you think it will take for the Karsten family to become a business giant on par with you. One year? Half a year? Three months?"

Zheqian paused after speaking for a long time, took a sip of water, then looked at Anastasia who was lost in thought and continued: "Our covenant is to give up the honor of hunting beluga whales, but we don't fight for it. Honor, doesn’t mean others can’t fight for it, right? President Anna, I still want to say that you and I agree that the secret of negotiation depends on how much preparation you have made before sitting at the negotiating table. You have to use what you have, and What the other party wants is to whet your appetite. I have already explained everything I have to you without reservation? Can you whet your appetite? President Anastasia, I hope to see your sincerity." .

"How about this, I will send half of my exclusive mercenary group, the Iron Fang Mercenary Group, to help. I want [-]% of the white whale's body, is that okay?" Anastasia didn't think for a long time, but just pondered for a while Then he asked Zheqian directly.

"All the staff of the Iron Fang Mercenary Corps, and Julius' entourage. In exchange for not interfering with your competition for the honor of hunting the beluga, and [-]% of the beluga," Zheqian said immediately after Anastasia finished speaking.

"This......"

"It seems that President Anna doesn't intend to show any sincerity. Let me say it again, you sent someone to find me, not that I found you. In addition, I know a lot more about the white whale than you, no matter you Believe it or not, the decision to cooperate or not is in your hands." Anastasia spoke again, and Zheqian interrupted.

After hearing Zheqian's words, Anastasia showed a wry smile on her small face and said, "You really know me, we should have never met before. All right, the conditions you proposed are indeed unacceptable, but let the Karsten family get This honor is even more unbearable, so I agree to your conditions, but I hope to get [-]% of the white whale."

"Yes" Zheqian didn't care about the [-]% of the white whales, even though he knew that even [-]% of them would cooperate with Anastasia, but why not let her feel at ease.If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse meat.

After signing the contract with magical effects, Zorsen made an appointment and left with a contract. Before leaving, he greeted Anastasia, and she responded with a wry smile.

Walking on the road, Zheqian couldn't help but secretly think that things went so smoothly because he knew Anastasia's character well through the original work.Then, relying on the power of establishing a covenant with Crusch first, and using the power to pressure others to make them aware of the pros and cons, they were able to make things go so smoothly.

If it was really the white whale in the original work, Zheqian would probably not bother to come to see Anastasia, because in the original work when fighting the white whale, most of the output was done by Wilhelm, Iron Fang The mercenary group is really playing soy sauce.But Zheqian had an ominous premonition that this battle against Moby Dick would definitely not be so simple, so it must be a share to be able to gather a share of strength!

Zheqian was still thinking about it, when suddenly an arm was placed on his shoulder, and at the same time a familiar voice came: "Brother, I didn't expect that even Julius is not your opponent."

Zheqian looked back and saw a man with a black helmet and a strong figure, which was Aldibalan.Zheqian couldn't help lamenting that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. He was invited by Anastasia as soon as he came out of Crusch, and Aldibalan approached him as soon as he came out of Anastasia.

He didn't know how many whistles he was staring at. In fact, Zheqian probably knew how many whistles there were through the protection of true sight, but as long as he didn't enter the mansion to interfere with his private life or be hostile to him, he didn't care.

Zheqian knows why Aldibalan came to find him, or for the honor of hunting the white whale. No one in the public may know about this matter, but it is estimated that the upper echelons of the Luknica Kingdom have already spread the word.According to Priscilla's character, as long as she is confident or conceited in the meaning of the original work, she will definitely not come to intervene, which is the case in the original work.It is probably all his own idea that Aldibalan came to him this time.

Sure enough, seeing that Zheqian did not speak, Aldibalan said directly: "Brother, I have heard about the news about the beluga and the hunting of the beluga. Help, can you see if it works?"

Zheqian also put his arms around Aldibalan's neck and said: "Of course! As a fellow villager, you come to help me and I have no time to welcome you. How can you say no? Come and gather when the time comes, and we will set off together to hunt white whales!".

"Okay! Brother, I invite you to drink!" Aldibalan said immediately after hearing Zheqian's straightforward agreement.

Zheqian also smiled enthusiastically, but still refused: "You don't need to drink, there are still some things to do, let's take another day. Let's get drunk after hunting the white whale!".

"it is good!"

Since Zheqian said so, Aldibalan did not continue to insist.

------------

Chapter 51 Elsa's Breakfast!

Zheqian returned to the mansion alone after talking to Aldibalan and explaining the time and place clearly. This time, no one bothered him again.

After entering the mansion, I found Emilia, and discussed with Emilia about hunting the white whale. Zheqian told her plan, but Emilia said that there was nothing wrong with it, and he was solely responsible.

At night, Zheqian went to bed early because according to his plan.Now that the preparations have been made and the covenant has been finalized, then tomorrow!Let's go hunting white whales!

Zheqian who turned off the lights and went to bed earlier did not go to bed as early as he wished, but was unable to fall asleep. I don’t know if it was because he went to bed too early today compared to usual. a feeling of.

When Zheqian closed his eyes again and was about to hug the person in front of him, suddenly a clear and ringing voice rang in his ears: "Where are you... going tomorrow? Hunting... hunting white whales?".

Zheqian was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was too busy these past few days, and hadn't spoken a few words to Elsa at all, so that he didn't tell her about the beluga hunting.

However, the smart Elsa should know something from the information she inquired from Rem and others, combined with her abnormality of going to bed early.

Zheqian couldn't help but feel apologetic. After coming to the capital, he really didn't take care of Elsa, so he replied, "Well, I'm going to hunt white whales tomorrow."

Feeling the slight tremor of Elsa's tender body when she said the word Moby Dick, Zheqian added, "I have already contacted other king selection forces, and I should have enough strength to compete with Moby Dick."

"Then...well, can I go together?" Elsa asked in a low voice.

Zheqian was taken aback again. In the past, he always took Elsa with him wherever he went, and this time was no exception. However, perhaps because of his relative indifference these days, Elsa actually thought that she didn't plan to take it with her. she.

Zheqian replied affirmatively: "Of course, not to mention your assassination ability, you are also very strong in fire magic now, so of course I will bring you."

"Yes...is that right, that's great..." Feeling Elsa's body loosen, Zheqian involuntarily hugged her tightly again.

But accidentally bumped into Elsa's pillow, which was a little wet, and Zheqian was taken aback again, with an unknown complex emotion in his heart.

It was only then that Zheqian realized that Elsa had quietly stepped into his heart before he knew it, and he was no longer simply taking advantage of his relationship with Elsa.

Then there was nothing to say all night, and as Zheqian fell into a deep sleep, the agitated Elsa gradually calmed down.

――――――The next day――――――

Because she went to bed early and adjusted her biological clock, Zheqian woke up early in the morning, but when Zheqian woke up, she found that the bed was empty, and Elsa woke up earlier than herself.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face from the toilet, she saw Elsa standing by the dining table wearing an apron with a flushed face, and there was a steaming hot breakfast on the dining table.

Seeing Zheqian come out, Elsa lowered her head and said, "Then... well, Rem and I have learned some cooking skills, today... can you help me try today's breakfast."

"Okay" Zheqian replied happily.

He walked to Elsa and sat down, and began to taste the breakfast made by Elsa. To be honest, it was pretty good, and he looked very skilled, with an upper-middle level.Although it is a little worse than Rem's, it is even worse than Reinhardt Lai Aotian's stunning deliciousness.But as far as Elsa, a person who doesn't know how to cook at all, can do this, it's already quite good.

"It's delicious." Zheqian looked at Elsa's eyes full of expectation and said.
