Cook bowed to Charlie hypocritically, bent down and put his right palm on his chest.
"As mentioned above. I am sincerely on His Majesty's side, and for the benefit of you and Dalabon, I am advising His Majesty. I will say it again, it is unwise to launch a war against Alcoron now."
Cook is betting that the current Lion King is not the same as the Lion King of the past.
Unlike Charlie, who was just a prince in the past, Charlie, who is now the king of a country, has already shouldered too many responsibilities. His decisions will be more prudent and he will not act rashly.
Now, it's up to Cook to see if he's right to bet.
There was silence in the hall.
The bluffing atmosphere at the beginning was gone.The heroes, Max, Patton and The Lion King were all lost in thought.
The change in the atmosphere also made Sylph, Nina, Hall and Saxi all look around curiously.
Feeling the completely different atmosphere from just now, everyone was uncontrollably excited.
'Cook, so strong.too strong.Hey, hey... I'm almost moved to tears.After living for so long, it was the first time that I was so moved. '
'Language, does it have such a great power?Much more powerful than a sword. '
'The young master is amazing.It is indeed my favorite young master.The young master didn't understand so many terrible uncles. '
'Worthy of being the king of color.The only man I recognize.In terms of lust, no, in terms of flickering, I only obey Cook. '
Cook naturally also felt the change in the atmosphere. Cook knew that his words had some effect, and knew that this was a turning point. Next, his momentum will prevail.
Throwing out the content of the negotiations, turning black and white makes the Lion King believe that the stage of waging war is over.
Next begins the second phase of the conversation.
Yes, after talking about the disadvantages of war, of course we must talk about the advantages of the alliance with Alcoron.
The novel should continue the content according to the way people think, and the dialogue is the same.
Cook looked up and switched his voice to a more relaxed tone.Thinking about the soundtrack in the animation that matches the scene to create the atmosphere, Cook felt that it was necessary to switch the tone.
By the way, the previous tone has always been urgent and explosive, which goes well with the fierce argument scenes.
"Your Majesty, the virtuous king also knows that it is very unrealistic for you to give up the aggression under such circumstances. Therefore, he has prepared compensation for the same benefits as you obtained in the war."
The topic changed and the Lion King's expression relaxed a lot.
It can be seen that Charlie does not want to delve into the issue of war losses.After all, being depressed all the time is tantamount to admitting Cook's statement.The Lion King didn't want to get caught up in the first stages of the discussion.
And Cook must also give the Lion King face and let him step down in front of the heroes.
The transaction content that Cook wanted was just thrown out.Next comes explanation and bargaining.Give the other party a sweet spot and satisfy both parties.
This is the basic principle of negotiation.
"Are you talking about that supreme treasure?"
After the Lion King finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the box that Shaxi was holding in her arms as expected.
Noticing this, Cook tried desperately not to laugh.
Stared at by the menacing heroes, Shaxi trembled all over, lowered her head, not daring to meet everyone's terrifying gaze.
Thank you so much Sasi.
However, being stared at will not be angered.This is also the gift of lovely Suzie.
Never mind the box, the Lion King is right.
Cook nodded without hesitation, but didn't look at the box at all.
"Yes. If you have this, if you withdraw your troops now, you won't lose face. Just let the opposition take the blame. If you form a coalition with Alcoron in the future, I can expect that there will be material exchanges and technical cooperation... ....The military will also cooperate. Including the training method of the death knight, jointly defending against foreign enemies. At that time, Alcoron is not Dalabon, you need to worry about the enemy who stabs you in the back. Your worries will disappear from now on. The country's technology will improve, the economy will also develop, and the people's living standards will improve, and your reputation will rise no matter whether it is in Alcoron or Dalabun."
During the negotiations, Cook's initiative to take a step back seemed to satisfy the Lion King.
His old aggressive speaking style was gone.
"Hmph...that sounds really tempting."
Cook smiled and nodded.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Lord Max, you are the Crown of Wisdom. Do you find this difficult to do?"
Cook used the skill of throwing the pot again.
Max, who was hit by the pot twice in a row, glared at Cook.On the other side, Roger, who avoided the pot, was greatly relieved.
Max said nothing, his attitude remained noncommittal.
Ignoring the airwaves of disgust from Max, Cook turned to The Lion King again.
"Your Majesty. May I ask you a question?"
"Ask me a question....go ahead."
The Lion King generously accepted Cook's proposal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have never understood...why Your Majesty started a war. What does Your Majesty want from the war?"
Cook's question made the hall noisy again.
The heroes began to riot.
Many heroes said that Cook asked a stupid question.
In the eyes of these warriors, isn't this a matter of course?
"Barton, you tell him."
Barton, who was ordered by the Lion King, took a step forward.
"Yes. Your Majesty."
Then he turned to Cook, looking down at the envoys with the sharp eyes of a swordsman.
"What reason do men need to launch a war? Because that is what men should do. Only war can reflect the value of men. Men accumulate honor in war. It is through war that His Majesty made Dalabang so rich. With today's achievements."
Many martial arts heroes immediately raised their fists in agreement.
"Long live King Charles."
"King Charles is invincible."
Shouts filled the hall again, making Cook, Sylph and others, who were enemies, all excited.
It’s not that we can’t understand that the passion and expectation for war is a biological instinct.
From the perspective of biological evolution, war, as Barton said, is the most primitive way to demonstrate the power of men.Even if he didn't want to admit it, Cook also had an instinct for war, but he was not as fanatical as these people.
Chapter 289: The King's Wish
Cook, who had awakened the memories of his previous life, also wanted to realize his self-worth from the perspective of fighting.After all, this method is simple and routine.There is a great cheat, just paddle around on the battlefield, and you will get achievements soon.It's a pity that Cook is just a war scum, the three men who are useless in everyone's eyes, and the ability of the holy seal is also a "liver emperor" who can be more useful when combined with the family's estrus ability and novel additions.Cook is not fighting material at all.In the end, he gave up the way of obtaining achievements through combat like the protagonists of most time-traveling stories, and chose to abandon reason and follow literature.Cook started the way to serve his ancestors with small O texts, no, to make money and pick up girls.
Unlike the rational Cook, if it were the second brother, he would definitely agree with Button's words.
Cook narrowed his eyes and nodded, lost in thought.
Seeing Cook's appearance, whether it is Lion King or Barton, there is a sense of pride in moving back one point.
"Did you hear that, kid? The king wants to conquer all directions, bring every corner of the world into his own territory, and realize the unification of the Eastern Continent. This is the mission of the 'king', so don't blame me. Although you said So many, but I still want to take down Alcolon.”
After the Lion King finished speaking, Junjie followed suit.It has the feel of an auto-controlled soundtrack.
Cook listened and waited until the soundtrack faded before opening his mouth again.
"Your Majesty is right. War is indeed the best way to show the value of a man, and it is also the easiest way to accumulate wealth. But...that was at the beginning of the business. The situation now is different from that time."
"It's different? How is it different?"
The Lion King stared at Cook curiously, wanting to hear what Cook had to say.
"That's right. Don't be alarmist, you guy. You are misleading the public with your evil talk. Be careful, I will kill you on behalf of the king."
Barton also posed with his sword drawn, as if he was coming to kill someone.
Like Barton, other heroes from the martial arts faction shouted, took out their weapons and prepared to fight.
Look, look.These brawny fighters are all like this.
If you don't get what you want, you'll take action. If you don't agree, you'll take action. If you don't agree, you'll take action.
Therefore, Cook hates dealing with such people the most.It is enough for a novelist to have access to an editor.No one else needs it.
Cook hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I, let me explain. When His Majesty was fighting in the north and south, you were not a king, but a prince. At that time, you could afford to lose. And at the beginning of the business, wars accumulated honors very quickly. But it is different now. . You are already a king. You are the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent. The pace of wars in accumulating honor for you has been much slower. Now you cannot launch wars without any distractions like in the past. You have to take into account many things, the people's Comfort, one's own glory, face problems...and so on. The higher a person climbs, the more cautious he should be. If he falls down accidentally, the fall will be worse. King Rommel of Sartan is the best Be the first. If you lose with one move, you will lose everything. So... the way you relied on war to make a fortune is not only inefficient for you now, but also full of uneasiness. It is no longer suitable to log in You have reached the pinnacle of your life. Am I right? Lord Max."
Cook's argument is still based on the fact that the current king bears different responsibilities from the past and will not make rash decisions.And war is an important, vital matter.The Lion King would seriously consider it.
After saying this, Cook also threw the pot at Max.
Haojie's eyes turned to Max in unison, spying on Max's reaction.
Max, who was so blamed that he was about to turn into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, couldn't bear it anymore, and impatiently knocked on the floor with his cane.
"Are you annoying or not? Don't ask me anything. Just explain yourself clearly."
Seeing that Max's zombie face finally had an expression, Cook almost couldn't help laughing.
The pot was pushed back by Max, and Cook turned to Roger evil-heartedly.
"Sorry, sorry. Then, Lord Roger, do you think what I said is right?"
Everyone's eyes turned from Max to Roger.Roger, who kept standing in the corner, was stared at by everyone, and he shivered as if he had been caught as a thief.
"No, I'm sorry. I-I didn't listen to what you were saying."
"Then, do you want me to say it again?"
"No, no need. His Majesty will naturally make a decision on this kind of matter. There's no point in asking me. No, there's no need to ask me. I, I'm not a big shot. You don't need to refer to my opinion for anything else in the future."
Roger finished speaking tremblingly and hid behind his colleagues.When his colleagues realized that Roger was hiding behind them, they hurriedly avoided it.
Ignore Max's direct 'I'm going to kill you' look and Roger's 'Wait for me you bastard' look.
Cook looked around the hall with a smile. Whoever saw Cook's eyes, he hurriedly avoided.All the people who were caught by the sight turned their heads away, pretending not to notice Cook's eyes, afraid of being called by Cook to take the blame.
The picture of the hero avoiding his eyes reminded Cook of the scene when the teacher called his name and answered questions when he was in school in his previous life.
This is how the students avoided the roll call.
Inexplicable nostalgia.
Haojie's reaction was so funny.Cook felt that he could play for a day.
Sylph and the others saw that the invincible heroes were avoiding Cook's sight, and they all cheered for Cook in their hearts.
'Cook is so handsome.You actually let those big farts avoid you.Just this moment, this life is worth it.So cool.Seeing that you are still stinky farts, believe it or not, call your name. '
Although Cook's words did not get a clear response from The Lion King and Max.
But it can be seen from the expressions on the faces of many heroes who only send heroes that these people agree with Cook's point of view.
"It's not the beginning of the business, and the strong risk has made war not the most efficient way to earn money. Then? What's the reason?"
"Then for profit. Alcolon's mines, the land."
There are heroes who volunteered to stand up.
"This makes sense. But you also know that Alcolon's mine reserves are not high. The land is not rich. Compared with the cost, launching a war is really uneconomical. The principle of action should be determined by interests. Come on. Instead, you made a decision that went against your interests. It would be better to defeat Alcolon than to defeat the small country to the west of Darabonba. This argument also makes no sense."
The man backed away dejectedly.
Someone shouted.
"It's a strategy. Eliminate the enemies behind you, in order to gain peace."
Cook turned and shouted to the man.
"If you form an alliance, the threat will disappear, and you can still get allies, and there will be no losses. Choose which side is more suitable, use your brain a little bit. Your point of view is not good. Cut. Next."
Cook yelled.The menacing hero immediately withered down.
Like an eggplant beaten by frost, it wilts.The man who was so energetic just now was completely shrouded in black shadow.It's heartbreaking to watch.
The hero's momentum was completely wiped out with just one sentence. Sylph, Hall, Sashi, and Nina were all secretly happy and raised their fists for Cook.
'Fuck it.Talk about them to death.Go ahead, just punch in the face.Hit in the face.What a relief. '
But the heroes still stood up one after another.
