A smile is a sign of friendliness.
The principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person is universal.
But in this situation, Stesa felt that this chuckle was by no means a sign of successful negotiation.
They broke down.
"You should listen to what the living me can bring to you. It is not too late for you to refuse."
Count Stesa's confident and calm tone began. It changes shape along with his face.
He began to feel that the situation was beyond his control.
This feeling never appeared in his heart after the boyhood of his life passed.
So much so that for a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression he should put on now.
"Lan En, I am not deliberately exaggerating your value just to survive. You do have the potential to change a kingdom."
"You can appear in my presence silently." study, press my face on the table. If you join forces with me with this ability of yours, we can change the situation in Temeria."
"And you have only become a witcher in just a short time. In less than two months, it has grown to this point. If you can hand over the know-how to someone with enough capital, can you imagine what it will bring to you?"
"Status, Power, wealth, women, these things that ordinary people have longed for all their lives are like mud on the lakeside to you. You can't shake it off even if you step on your shoes."
"Indulging in personal power is stupid. What a reckless move, Lan En. You have seen me unarmed, and you have seen the power that a person like me can wield."
"Fighting with monsters in the wild. Even if your rapid growth does not have a secret that can be popularized, just because of your talent, you can also change the track. As long as I promote it a little, you can become a great warrior who will go down in history."
"At that time, you can become my bodyguard or a star warrior, and your one-time appearance fee is money that other demon hunters cannot earn in several lifetimes."
Si Count Tessa forced himself to calm down and started talking.
He is confident in his eloquence. As long as he is allowed to speak and explain Lan En's dilemma and the help he can bring to him, then the other party has no reason to refuse.
He already knew the difficult life of the demon hunter group through the information just now.
It is precisely because of this that he has more confidence in persuading Lan En.
He has seen too many humble and poor people, and he can see through what these people are thinking at a glance.
It only took a few days for Lan En to go from an ordinary person who couldn't even hold a sword to the warrior who can kill the escort team.
Suddenly he mastered the ability to control the life and death of others. The power of decision-making can even destroy a person more than getting rich overnight.
He should be able to figure out what Lan En is thinking.
“Threat first, then cooperate with you guysThe superiors all seem to like to play this trick."
Lan leaned back in his chair and looked at Stassa lazily.
The Earl thought that Lan En would listen to him Various reactions after analysis.
The embarrassment of being guessed by the hostage, the desire for money and power, and the entanglement of cooperation with the person he wanted to kill.
He He thought about various subsequent scenarios and how to use the various emotions involved.
But there was only one thing that he didn't dare to think about.
He doesn't care.
Just like now
This witcher doesn't care at all
"When I first came, your hands were pressed. On the villager profile of Auriden. You probably plan to exert influence on the village as your own lord, and then use my friendship with them to tie me up, like a chain to a mad dog. "
"But in the next moment, my hand pressed your face to the table. And now, you are starting to talk to me about win-win cooperation. "
Lan En looked at Stesa, who was pretending to be calm, strangely, as if he were looking at a water ghost in clothes.
"You really think you are a person? "Ah!"
The count's bite muscles suddenly bulged, which was because he clenched his back molars.
But even in this situation, he still used a calm and rational expression. The tone said.
"No need, Lan En. There is absolutely no need for you to kill me. After you kill me, you and those children won’t even be able to leave this manor. You don’t have to talk about cooperation, but you at least don’t harm yourself.”
Word by word, than He was begging for mercy, even more like he was thinking about Lan En.
While saying these words, Stesa's hands were shaking under the table.
He didn't know. Did Lan En notice this? But when he looked at Lan En, he could see disinterest in his eyes.
"My lord, Count. "The witcher said with a sigh and repeated again. "Your Majesty the Earl. ”
“From the beginning, you seemed to be overwhelming me with information and a sense of crisis. You sell me your philosophy of life and want to teach me what kind of person I should become. If you are truly a generous elder and a wise senior, there is nothing wrong with you. But the problem now is"
Lan nodded at Stassa with a funny and playful expression.
"Who do you think you are?"< /p>
The smile turned cold, and then the playfulness turned directly into contempt and ridicule.
“You have only read a few words and a few books in your life, and you have heard about a lot of history in your life. You have wanted to teach me for hundreds of years."
"You think I am a demon hunter of unknown origin, you think I should just be a young boy who grew up in the mountains, so you are going to use this Ways to kidnap my thinking”
“Temeria belongs to the four northern kingdoms. It is true that it is very powerful, but when talking about the north, we usually talk about the northern kingdoms.country. "
Lan looked at Stesa with a sneer, this noble gentleman, the color of his thin lips was fading uncontrollably.
"You said your subordinates In order to use me as a credential for superiority, he would do anything. But before that, let’s brush up on geography. ”
“The south of Temeria borders the Brugg and Soden regions, and what if we shift our sights further south?”
Lane’s fingers flicked on the armrest. Knock.
“That’s Sintra. Lord Count. ”
“It was a martial country that developed a strong sense of crisis because it was too close to Nilfgaard, and even developed into hostility. "
"Let me tell you what will happen after I kill you. ”
Looking at the Count whose face was getting more and more ugly, Lan En’s tone became calmer and more determined.
Just like Count Stesa who was talking eloquently just now.< /p>
“In terms of legitimacy you are most familiar with, the King of Temeria is undoubtedly wary of the southern faction. And I killed an earl whose political views were opposite to his. This is of course a serious crime according to the law, but in terms of the moral principles of the northern countries, my behavior is blameless. Because the king and I are on the same line, I have a firm grip on legitimacy. "
"Then I would go to Sintra, and that country would love the idea of making me a flag-hero against the South because of my deeds and my bravery. They can give me whatever you promise. "
"At that time, what can your disorganized subordinates do to me? Raise troops to Sintra, don't be kidding. Even you are far from qualified to start a war against the country on behalf of Temeria, let alone those rotten fish and shrimps. "
"Then what else can they do? How much of the majesty of the knights can be left after leaving the fiefdom? They can only send some assassins and spend some money to hang a reward. But look at me"
"Do I look like someone who is afraid of assassins?"
Lan looked at the powerful earl.
He His lips trembled, and the unconcealed panic finally showed in his eyes.
“You think I am no different from the farmer in this document, who has been trapped in making a living all his life and has little knowledge. Whenever other people say anything that exceeds one-third of an acre of land in their village, they can only nod their heads in agreement without daring to refute. "
"Now, please use your superb vision and structure to evaluate it, Lord Earl"
Lan tilted his head and looked at Stassa.
< p>"Is this analysis of the international situation likely to come true?"Stesa nodded numbly, and then
there was a snap.
The stack of information in Lan En's hand was thrown directly into the earl's face across the table, and he sighed
"So what kind of life mentor are you pretending to be?"
