People in Terra, dedicated V people 50

"Hey, you guys over there, what kind of trouble are you trying to make!"

Before the two of them could recover, Longjing Tea had already walked up menacingly.

"Why are you still wandering around the street without any clothes on? And you are carrying such a big weapon. Have you filed a report with the Guards Bureau?"

It has to be said that the attire of these two brothers may be a symbol of might in Sargon, but it seems to be too early for Longmen.

"Sorry, we are officials from Shurima. We are here now looking for the chief internal affairs officer of Shurima. I wonder if he can lead the way for us."

"Shurima? I haven't heard of it. What country is it from? If you can prove your identity, I can take you to see Governor Wei. Please consult him on diplomatic matters."

Maybe it was because the attire of the two of them was indeed more luxurious, and Chen couldn't tell whether the two of them were sick for a while.Combined with the unheard name of Shurima, Chen realized that these two people might really be envoys from a "barbarian land".

But, how do you prove your identity? Can the two of them play together to prove their strength as ascendants?

At just the right time, a black limousine stopped on the side of the road, with its windows rolled down, revealing a face that was not angry or intimidating.

"Officer Chen, they are indeed diplomats. There is no need to ask further questions."

Chen glanced at the person in the car window and stepped aside.Nasus forgot to look out of the car window. It was a face that looked like an Ionian dragon. There was depth in his sharp eyes. This was a look that Nasus was very familiar with.If we were looking for a suitable reference, it would undoubtedly be Azir.

"I am Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen. It is fate that I have not met you two in a formal diplomatic occasion. You two, please get in the car. I can send you two to the residence of your chief of internal affairs."

However, it is embarrassing to say that both of them have only seen sedan chairs and sand sleds. This is the first time they have seen this kind of metal shell.

Fortunately, Longjing Tea suddenly enlightened and opened the rear door of the car. Nasus, who was not low on IQ, directly pulled Renekton into the back seat.

As for the weapons for two people?Chen also wanted to know what to do.Looking at the scepter and giant blade on the ground, Chen didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I wonder what official positions you two hold in Shurima?"

"Nasus, grand maester of the cabinet. This is Renekton, captain of the God-Emperor's guard, the general who guards the capital."

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Wei Yanwu nodded from the front seat.Although the concealment of these two people is incomparable to that of the cabinet chief, at least Shurima's face is given.Senior officials from the military, academic and diplomatic fields came, and it was obvious that they came with sincerity.

"Although you two are new to Longmen, I hope Longmen has left a good enough impression on you. As you can see, Longmen is a free, tolerant and civilized place..."

A familiar white van whizzed past, and a gunman with his own LED was shooting at the tires of the vehicle behind.The vehicles behind were not to be outdone, and two shooters were shooting ahead with crossbows.

After the two cars passed by the sedan, an eerie silence fell between the three of them.

1-6 Hidden in the city

"So what you are saying is that you teleported to a place two blocks away from this house, and happened to meet Wei Laoer, and then he took you to visit half of Longmen?"

In the [House Affairs Mansion] that he had just moved into a few days ago, Ma Di finally met the two notorious brothers on the canyon road.

The weapons of the two men were sent to the house rented by Ma Dixin by the Guards Bureau. At least they were not lost.

"Then how do you feel about this journey?"

"This world is indeed more prosperous than I imagined, Chief."

Nasus stood on the balcony, looking at the dimly lit dragon gate.He once stood on the steps of the temple, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in Shurima, praying for Shurima's long-term peace and stability.This place was like the Shurima of the past, and it was also the Shurima in his heart.

"Their economy and culture are worthy of respect. For many years, Shurima has been on the road to conquest. Even when it almost unified the continent of Valoran, there has never been such a prosperous technological development. Perhaps, we really There is something missing. But in terms of war strength, the power of this city is not even comparable to that of a small city in Shurima."

"Quite accurate, Grand Maester. And you, Renekton."

Renekton: #deathtumble

"Don't roll around on the couch! Not in the bathtub! You're an ascendant, not a big four-legged reptile!"

It seems that the two of them still need some time to adapt.In order to help two village committee members who came to the city get familiar with modern life, Ma Di decided to return to his old profession.

So, at the night market in Longmen, people saw an ancestor Adacris (crocodile) carrying a boiler and an ancestor Luper (wolf) dragging an oven, followed by a food stall that had not been open for a few days. boss.

Shurima, the Sun Disk.

Descendants of the royal cartographers presented new maps of the continent, some of which greatly annoyed the Emperor.

"The port cities in the north surrendered to other countries? How dare they... Alas, it seems that a lot of things happened in the days when the Scorching Sun Ship fell. The next step is to make Shurima glorious again and regain what belongs to Shurima. People, take back the glory that belongs to Shurima. But before that..."

Azir picked up his phone and started typing like an old man with two fingers.

[Desert Emperor: Chief of Internal Affairs, are you there? 】

[Chief of Internal Affairs: I am learning about foreign cultures. Is there anything I can do for you? 】

[Desert Emperor: Shurima's army is about to go out, but now I need more military spending. 】

Even the emperor cannot get funding by bypassing the chief of internal affairs. This is the secret of Shurima's top brass.

[Chief of Internal Affairs: Your Majesty can go on the expedition first, and the military funds will be forthcoming.But I also want to request some military power from Your Majesty. There will be a small-scale war here soon. 】

[Desert Emperor: Yes, I give you the power to dispatch gravel soldiers. Even if you destroy a country, Shurima will bear the consequences. 】

Azir is not stupid, he is a smart man.Although an emaciated camel is larger than a horse, Shurima needs a long period of recuperation to recover.If you want to rebuild the majesty of Shurima without wasting money and people, you have to rely on Mardi's krypton gold help.

Moreover, the Shurima army is now unable to go to the continent of Terra to establish a new Shurima Empire. If only some lifeless gravel soldiers can establish the majesty of Shurima, it is stable for Azir. A profitable business.

Besides, there are Nasus and Renekton watching next to them. Even if the new chief of internal affairs has evil intentions, the two of them can deal with him at any time.

"Recently, the slums seem to be in chaos, and there seems to be a lot of refugees coming in. Although the jobs and wages have increased a lot, the work has become very troublesome."

"Yes, yes, many packages don't even have their destination clearly marked, and we have to go to the slums to find them ourselves. There are also more illegal buildings in the slums. The map changes every day, and we don't know where to go."

The capable angel was whirling the double-skinned breasts while complaining to Ma Di.The croissant was also following along, with no intention of keeping his hands free, and kept putting french fries into his mouth.

Compared to the two live treasures, Texas seems much quieter, if her tail doesn't have explosive hair.It seemed that the two new helpers put a lot of pressure on her. Even if they were not malicious, the invisible bloody smell exuding from the two people still made Texas uncomfortable.

"Ahem, make a bowl of lean meatballs."

The old man in a coat came to the stall on crutches. Like Nasus and Renekton, he retained most of the animal characteristics. He was obviously a rat.

The old man was no different from the grandparents who went out for a walk in the evening. He looked kind and friendly, but the Penguin Logistics trio obviously knew this old man, and even the capable angels kept their mouths shut so as not to disturb the old man and Ma Di. dialogue.

"If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have really thought that you were the kind of ordinary old man who likes to walk at night, Mr. Lin."

"I do like to walk at night, but it just depends on my mood whether I'll see any blood."

Anyone who is a gangster in Longmen knows that you have to abide by the rules in the slums.Because even slums have owners. "Gray Lin", the leader of the largest gang in Longmen and the maker of the rules of the slum, is no different from any other old man passing by at this moment.

"Then, I suggest you pay more attention to things in the slums. After all, it is your territory. If something happens there, it will not be a good thing for you, Governor Wei and Longmen."

"How do you know...Oh, I'm talking too much."

Ma Di was not surprised at all by Lin's arrival.As Wei Laoer's right-hand man, he was naturally the one to do the testing in informal situations.Therefore, Ma Di does not need to be strictly guarded. Sometimes showing off appropriately can help solve many problems.

"I know a lot more than you think. I hope we can achieve deeper cooperation. For example... Longmen should not be able to detach the police force of the Guards Bureau to go to Chernobog to deal with the matter. .”

"...Governor Wei wants to see you tomorrow morning."

Lin picked up the lean meatballs in the paper bowl, left a word and left silently.

Ma Di breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the bet was right. Wei Yanwu was willing to give a very high evaluation to the unknown Shurima, and even accepted the setting of "not appearing in front of the world but having a huge intelligence network".

Give a vague impression and let your enemy figure out how powerful it is. We call this thinking.

But having said that, if Azir himself goes on a northern expedition to Ursus, will he be able to solve the problem from the source?Why does it feel like this is much easier than playing tricks?

1-7 Take it, old woman!

The sky is a useless and dying star. ——Nasus, the Desert Death God

--------

The world is composed of nothing more than laws.The laws of the heavenly bodies, the laws of the seasons, the laws of the earth, the laws of life and death...

Nasus looked up at the sky countless times over the centuries.The stars are still shining brightly, they never stop moving, but they always harbor the smell of death.

The end point of a star is extinction, just like the end point of a human being is death.The Ascended do not escape the laws of life and death, they are simply like these stars.It looks dazzling, but in fact, when you look at it and it is still shining, it is already dead.

The Ascended are not immortal, but mortals cannot see their end.

"This is a world full of lies, even the sky is fake."

Looking at the night sky in Longmen, Nasus murmured to himself.

"If the stars in Shurima are a joke of the giants, then the starry sky here is not even qualified to be used as a joke. How sad."

"People always feel that they have understood the starry sky, but they don't know that the starry sky is just a barrier to self-deception. Most people I know have deep faith in the starry sky, while others are either madmen or dreamers."

Behind Nasus, a dull voice sounded.Nasus took a deep breath and smelled an ancient scent.

"You seem to think you know the world very well."

"I have walked on this land and witnessed it go through many sufferings. I know everything about this land."

Nasus tilted his head. He felt that the person standing behind him was interesting, if she could really be considered a human.

"You are a creature, but not a living being. The disguise of the beast in your body is even worse. To me, you are not even qualified to be weighed on the scales, but you are indeed guilty."

The emerald green pupils shrank slightly, and the ferocious black monster popped out from behind her, but quickly retracted, refusing to come out for another second.

"This beast doesn't have much intelligence. It acts more based on instinct. It also follows its own instinct. It is afraid of me. So what about you, what made your instinct disappear? Or is it too much? Pretending and considering, have you forgotten the feeling of instinct prompting you?”

Nasus turned around slowly. Even if he didn't show the power of ascension, his modified body was more than two meters tall.In front of him, that figure looked so petite.

Kelsey subconsciously took a step back. After tens of thousands of years, she didn't allow instinct to destroy her precise plan.She carefully sealed her instincts within her body and warned herself to act in accordance with reason, otherwise it would lead to disaster.But she seems to have forgotten that when disaster is about to strike, the only thing that can save her is her instinct.

At this moment, this instinct is fully awakened.To put it simply - I can't hold myself any longer.

All gods, monsters, demons, and sea heirs are all forgotten at this moment.Those so-called long-term threats were no longer important. What was standing in front of her now was an existence she didn't know about, and this existence obviously had the ability to overturn all her plans.

"Grand Maester of Shurima, Nasus, has not been consulted."

Kelsi didn't come back to her senses until Nasus' voice sounded again.

"Shurima, isn't that country already..."

The unfinished words were swallowed back hard, because the man who claimed to be the Grand Maester of Shurima was standing in front of her.

Wait a minute, Grand Maester?Is this a civil servant?Are you Shurima people so tough?A civil servant has strength comparable to that of a god?

To tell a joke, Grand Maester of Shurima, after ascension, has a body size of 10/10, which can offset the enemy's next spell that targets him. He can only be blocked by units with an attack power greater than 3. Each unit he kills in this round will gain +1+1. , all the opponent's units are -3-0 when present, and is a civilian.

Even Kelsey has not been able to understand everything in this land. With respect for the unknown, Kelsey has no intention of turning against the people in front of her.

In fact, you just give up. When you encounter an enemy that you can't beat and can't tell a riddle to fool him, you give in decisively. Kelsey, you are really despicable now.

"Kelsey, a scholar who walks the earth, is now the acting leader of the Rhode Island organization... I wonder if you have heard of us?"

Rhode Island, Nasus remembered it.Madi had told him before that if you meet people from Rhode Island, you can chat with them, but not Shurima.You can travel with them and help, but you cannot join them.

As for why, Ma Di was silent for a while, and then said it in a heartbroken tone.

"Because their acting leader is an old woman whose understanding of the world is as poor as her breasts. She deceives herself into thinking she knows everything, just like she pretends to be a maid and needs to pad her breasts."

Presumably, the strange woman who can make the chief of internal affairs comment in such a long and difficult sentence is the Kelsey in front of her.

Nasus glanced at it and realized, well, it was indeed pitifully barren.

After a moment of silence, Kelsey spoke first.

"Your Excellency seems to have done a lot of research on the soul? I happen to have a very interesting sample here. Her body is an exiled princess with the blood of the royal families of the two countries, but there is one in her body that represents the will of another country. The wandering soul. Now the wandering soul has sealed her consciousness and occupied her body. If you are interested, I can provide you with information."

"When this old woman starts not to speak human words, you have to be careful. At this time, she is either mocking you, or she is really tricking you into working for her."

Madi's warning sounded in Nasus' mind. Without thinking too much, Nasus shook his head decisively.

"Although your suggestion is indeed interesting, I still have official duties and I can't help you."

"I didn't expect that your Excellency is also a person bound by secular affairs. I thought that as the chief scholar of the great empire, you would want to pursue knowledge more. When the heart of pursuing knowledge is bound by power, the pursuit of knowledge itself loses its original meaning. Some are pure.”

Poor technique, but effective.Nasus thought.Some people always think that provocation is a very obvious and low-level rhetoric, but in fact it is very effective at the right time.There are always people who know it is a trap but jump in without hesitation.

Step back and get angrier, Nasus, and think about what the Chief of the Chamber would do.

"I was asked to tell you that your tricks are as shallow as your frontal armor, Kelsey. If you still hope to use crude verbal traps to influence scholars from the ancient empire, then I advise you to use more brains. On making up new riddles to disturb others.”

The corners of Kelsey's eyes twitched fiercely.

1-8 Real Business Negotiations: Stumbling and Showing Off Each Other

Negotiation is an art, whether it is a rhetorical confrontation or a logical game, negotiation demonstrates it vividly.

Different from a debate, a debate is where both sides hold opposing views and use language to make the other person's point of view wrong and their own point of view right.Negotiation is about each party starting from their own interests, and everyone jointly seeks a balance point that is acceptable to each party.As for the goal of the game, it is which side the balance point favors.

The outcome of the debate is destined to be a life-and-death battle. What matters is the process.The negotiation process is just a means, the important thing is to determine a result that is biased towards one's own interests.

So, having said all this, can anyone explain to me why this old woman is here?
