The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 39: Vegetable Market

“This is our plan, and as part of the alliance, we would like to receive the right to purchase the market price for the 30 commodities on this list, as well as the expectation that the elf merchants will have free access to your city. ”

In the spacious conference hall, it is still the luxury of the elves to engrave the style of the elf sword dance even at the corner of the table, listening to the negotiations between the parties, I almost fell asleep.

“Annie talks about business with Margaret, it's none of my business, it's leisure, so have some fun. ”

“Twenty-three of these commodities are of course marketable, but seven commodities, such as mercury, dragon poison and liquid sulphur for secondary processing, are officially regulated or forbidden and cannot be sold out unless you agree to reciprocate those special commodities on our list. And as long as your dark elf businessmen are genuine businessmen, not spies and killers in businessmen's coats, why should you be afraid of our examination?” Pushed her eyes, Eliza said.

“... sister, that's it cucumber you bargained for, okay, take it all for $2.50, but bring these tomatoes. Rest assured, it's all fresh and good. ”

“Oh, little girl, that's one-on-one open. To be honest, these economic and trade dealings are just appetizers that deepen ties. Perhaps it's time for us to talk about something real. For example, about the power of your law.” Kaya laughed.

“Oh, young lady, so be it, Auntie Little Money doesn't care, by the way, how do you sell that little yellow fish? ”

This time, Elizabeth frowned slightly and looked at Annie instead of saying anything.

“Well, Annie can decide on that. If you Dark Pokémon are interested in the power of the law, you can send someone to Iwo Mountain City to learn, but swear in the name of the Spider's Queen that you will not cause harm to the people, and also declare that you will renounce the pursuit of the Dark Pokémon of Iwo Mountain City. ”

“Well, little yellow fish, if you want, twelve bucks a pound, low price for you. This little yellow fish is so fresh, it's great to cook and eat. However, if you accept the small yellow fish, don't count against the previous potato arrears. ”

When she heard Annie's answer, Kaya shook her head.

“The will of the spider is relentless, the traitor must be cleared, we have time for the elves to wait, let these traitors wait for the end of the day… well, let's not talk about these spoilers, maybe we can talk about deeper topics, such as alliances against the military side of a party, which, of course, will not be written on paper. ”

“That's not true, we cafeteria owners are clear, sooner or later we'll have to pay for potatoes... But let's talk about something else, like when we're going to beat up that big fat guy who always bullies people, and of course, if Big Fat finds out in advance, I won't admit it. ”

Obviously, there were appetizers before, and now there's a private military alliance, which is why there's a bond today. Annie hesitates, but Eliza's eyebrows are tight, and her face is full of frost, and it seems, troubled.

Well, it must be very troubling, of course. This decision represents this countless lives and futures, but it's only because of the stress that we need to make progress in growth. I like you, Eliza and Annie.

“... please wait.” Finally, she made up her mind, stood up straight, and... came to me.

“Master!! Have you had enough? Don't play those boring grocery shopping segments in my head and don't block us from negotiating!!! ”

“Ah, did I accidentally say that? Sorry, sorry.” Apologize in your thoughts without sincerity, then bow your head and lower your presence... of course you have to have an object to throw up, talking to yourself doesn't make you crazy.

Well, in the eyes of outsiders, Eliza stood silently in front of me, looked at me, and then I remained silent, seemingly handing over the resolution to each other by default.

”Excuse me.” After apologizing, Eliza sat down again.

“Actually, I'm right. Negotiating this kind of thing is different from bargaining, bargaining, buying groceries in the market? ”

“I'm thinking, please be quiet. ”

All right, all right, you know how to bully old bones. I don't like old bones. Why don't you go for a walk?

Just in time, I was also tired of the boring air in the negotiating room and got up and left...

“Please be careful all the way back to the station early, don't pick up food on the ground, don't make too many children cry, don't let their parents come to the door, don't do anything bad to get caught, I'm not familiar with the security bureau here, I don't want to pick up any more people. ”

All right, stay away from the old child-like nagging, generally reflect on whether or not you are mistaken. In the beginning, the lovely little girl who feared the dark for loneliness, as long as the stormy weather dragged me to sleep with her, how she became more and more poisonous and distorted under my education.

And Eliza's cold eyes on the way down, pretending to ignore the elf mothers. Blind eyes and implicit invitations... unfortunately, the Dark Pokémon's success. People's art and skills, but they are also the “art treasures” of the world, which every man dreams of...

Well, I wouldn't be able to do anything without that poisonous maid, but think about it. As a man, imagine it's not a crime!! Eliza! Don't sing "Grandpa Migraine" in my head!! ”I shouldn't have taught you how to sing pop songs! I shouldn't have told you what grandpa was!

“Hmm, when I'm back..."

Before I left, I finally looked at Annie, who was talking, and looked forward to seeing her alone soon, so I could appreciate the resurrection...

And I couldn't tell, when I left, that almost all the dark elf mothers were relieved at the same time.

“The robe and mask seemed to be artifacts, whose true appearance and strength were completely undetectable. ”

“There has been no change in mood, heartbeat is not perceptible, close your eyes, it doesn't exist at all, what kind of existence is this? ”

“The devil? Humans, elves? Dead spirit? It's completely unknown, two little girl representatives obviously rely on his judgment, and at this time are destined to leave, for what reason? Is there some kind of conspiracy? ”

In a sense, the only obstacle to this negotiation is the sleepless one.

In the eyes of the Dark Pokémon mothers who have lived through countless years, the powerful and fearful are always unknown, and the sleepless are too strange and dangerous.

“As the discoverer of the power of a new order, there can be no overestimation of the sleepless. If the power of the law were destined to be such a powerful order as Holy Light, perhaps we would face a future god. But anyway, his departure is a good thing for the negotiations... or it's time for the 'shadow' to follow him, if there's a chance..."

Rachina, the first mother-in-law of Sobre City, is in a sense a neighbor of Mount Iwo, although those strange to the defective dark elves who believe in the Holy Light, deprive the original first family of the trust and love of the spider and enable the Sphinx family of Rachina to take over.

But anyway, defecting and living more and more moisturizing Diana has always been the disgrace of Sobre City. If this disgrace cannot be erased in time... the spider can never be a true god of reason. The tragedy of the last former First Mother, who was turned into a spidering elf's mourning, is still in sight.

But at the same time, Kaya, who was talking to Annie, suddenly swept her away and seemed to see through her selfishness.

“... if there is a chance, send a small gift, deepen your emotional exchanges with an adult, and alliance with the emerging hegemony of Mount Iwo to compete for the dominance of the entire underground covenant, but no one will look too short to influence the whole Dark Pokémon race for personal lust. ”

Even though Racina changed her mouth fast enough, when Kaya's eyes stopped on her, her heart felt stopped beating and her vest was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Kaya is able to master the race of half the Dark Pokémon. It is not enough for Rose alone. In the fierce and spicy Dark Pokémon, this is the supreme priestess who always has a smile on her face. Bloody repression makes the rebels cold. Otherwise, how can the Dark Pokémon glorified with treason on below obey the supreme leader in this name?

“Then the gift is prepared by you, the noble Mother of Sphinx. Now we do need a trustworthy ally. ”

“Yes, that would be my pleasure, and I would do it perfectly. ”

There's no time for other mothers to laugh, Racina. Sphink only had the happiness of the rest of his life after the robbery.

“Well, make sure the channels of communication with each other..."

The alliance of the two forces, even the alliance of the haunted, has too much detail to discuss, and this meeting is doomed to take place for a long time.

And I don't really care, no, it's unnecessary to say.

As I said to Eliza, the negotiations between the state and the forces are actually no different than buying groceries in the market. You're the one who gave me two cents, and I'll give you an extra radish potato.

When the market price is fixed, even if the negotiation skills are even higher, that is, a little fluctuation along the price horizon.

Quite frankly, the results of the negotiations are often determined before they are negotiated, they are not available on the battlefield, they are not available at the negotiating table... Well, I know there are exceptions, let us not mention that sad history, if the ruler is unconscious to that point, there is no point in talking about it or fighting it any longer.

That “market price that dominates the outcome of market transactions" is the situation, owned and exchangeable chips faced by both parties before the negotiations, the more pressing the party, the easier it is to lose the initiative of the negotiations, and the more chips it is, the easier it is to trade them for smaller and cheaper.

And as a result of our efforts over time, the initiative to negotiate is already in the hands of Mount Iwo, and Morrill and Tao have been on the move lately, Estena. As cunning as the devil behind him is, Arul is obviously a double-sided faction that cannot be relied upon, plus the fact that you never know what a loyal Master of the Dark Pokémon is, Kaya should be under a lot of pressure.

I remember in the original “history”, in the epic battle of the Underground Covenant against the ground ten years later, the Supreme Leader of the Dark Pokémon was a Dark Pokémon Mother named Victoria... The retreat of the superior Dark Pokémon could never be peaceful, let alone proactive, after all, it often represented a more tragic end than death.

Well, she needs allies now, both herself and the dark elves she represents.

For Iwo Mountain City, this negotiation and even the application to join the underground covenant can go without turning around. At least, Iwo Mountain City really had no reason to go before my inconvenient little jokes and arrangements were exposed.

Since the initiative of the negotiations is in hand, the other party has asked not to speak with us, but has made a determination and alliance with Iwo Mountain City, then the Dark Pokémon must negotiate, but we do not care about the outcome of the negotiations and the amount of leverage. In any case, the winner of this negotiation will be us.

That is also why I have been dragging away contact with Kaya and Estena, and I am trying to make them panic and fear that we will reconcile with Tao and Morrill, instead of creating a new tilt in the internal balance of the Covenant.

This is also why I would say that the outcome of the negotiations was determined long before the negotiations, and that I was relieved to leave after I had determined that Annie and Eliza's negotiating skills were above the horizon and without panic.

And now, walking down the streets of Vitamin, watching this alternative prosperity, I'm going to start my own plan.

“I, Roland the Sleepless, am not a very generous man. Since you dare to sneak up on Sulphur Mountain City, you should also think about the subject of revenge, Tao, Morrill, owe me, and it is time to pay it back. ”
