"You broke the agreement."
In the dark room, there was a slightly sulky voice.
This is a relatively clean room. From the layout, it is not difficult to see that the predecessor pattern of this room is a study. Although many things in the study have been removed, the inherent pattern of some study has not changed - such as rows of bookcases against the wall, comfortable soft sofas and so on.
At this time, only one oil lamp was lit in the room. It was the most common oil lamp, not a magic lamp. In addition, it was late at night, so the light in the room was not enough.
There was a figure sitting on a soft sofa with a cup of steaming milk on the short table in front of him.
The angry voice just now was made by this man.
He said this to the other two slightly dim shadows on the soft sofa.
These two virtual shadows are not entities, but projections formed by a unique audio magic. In addition to being inaccessible, they are no different from real people in other aspects, and can also communicate perfectly in real time. This is a new product developed by those guys of the hellson Institute using the transmission magic array and magic guide technology. This product is still in the test stage, but once it is officially put into use, it can be imagined that the impact will not be weaker than the transmission magic array.
"I don't think we have anything against the agreement." The virtual shadow on the left said in a deep voice, "according to the agreed content, what we want to solve is all adverse actions against you. Moreover, on the premise of solving the bone invasion, we will not pull your hind legs. "
At the beginning, in the forest of sighs, the soul agreement signed by Sean and the tombstone was that before the invasion of the bone plane was fully resolved, the dead spine was not allowed to pull the hind legs of the void duchy behind his back, and he must help Sean solve all the problems that were not conducive to Sean.
In a literal sense, the dead spine will not fight against the empty principality or trouble Sean, but it does not contain other contents.
But that said, the people who signed the contract and agreement at that time knew what it meant. But now, the dead spine is not acting according to the hidden rules, but only fulfilling the agreement in the literal sense. This is a typical game of playing with words.
"I've never seen such a brazen man."
In the room, it was Sean who made angry and dissatisfied sounds.
After he rushed back to the wild fortress and helped solve the Black Death army and repel the big and small Lucas, he summoned William for the first time and learned everything that happened during his departure. These things made him clearly understand that the plan of the void Empire had obviously leaked out, so there must be a lot of people who didn't want to see the dominance of the void principality.
The figure on the left obviously didn't care about Sean's ridicule. He still said to himself: "there are three assassination plans and actions related to you, and we have solved them for you. Moreover, we have fully evacuated the dead spine spies previously distributed in the void principality, which is completely in accordance with the rules of the contract agreement. I don't know what your excellency is dissatisfied with. "
"Ha ha." Sean chuckled, but stopped talking. Instead, he turned and looked at the shadow on the right. "Is that your attitude, too?"
The virtual shadow sitting on the right is naturally the liaison officer from the peace association.
This is a tall woman with wavy long hair on her shoulders and a pair of Phnom Penh glasses. The whole person exudes an intellectual, mature and elegant temperament. Since she appeared, she has kept smiling and didn't speak. She basically focuses on listening. From her various performances, Sean knew that the person in front of him must be a role of arbitrator, which was just opposite to Christina's previous executive status.
"Lord Sean, according to the agreement that Lord Christina reported to the above, the contract of our peace council seems to be the same as the dead spine." The mature and elegant woman smiled and said, her voice is very soft, has a subtle temptation, and it is easy to make people willing to listen to her words, and then unconsciously stood in her position, "in this matter, we think that Lord Sean, you have gone too far and killed so many tribes in the wilderness, If it had not been for the agreement, we would have sent an executive officer and a messenger of peace. "
"No wonder your peace council and dead spine have always been old enemies. In this shameless Kung Fu, both of you can compete for the first in the world." Sean sneered, "since you all said that, I don't think I have anything to talk about with you."
"Don't you think your request is a little greedy, Mr. Sean?" Said the agent from the dead spine on the left.
"I'm curious. Where am I greedy?" Sean laughed back in anger.
"I think dead thorn means, Lord Sean, your attempt to annex the wilderness." The arbitrator on the right began to intervene in the topic, "since the wilderness has become a bureau, our peace parliament has not been too involved all the time, because this is a matter of rules. The existence of this place can ensure the stability and prosperity of many countries. Although the slave trade seems too cruel, there is no loss in the foundation of the wilderness, but this time... Lord Sean, in your anger, you slaughtered more than 30 tribes in the wilderness... "
At this point, the arbitrator still smiled. Although she didn't finish her words, the underlying meaning was clear.
Simply put, the Peace Council does not want to see Sean establish a void empire. Of course, at present, in the absence of sufficient practical proof, the peace council will certainly not blindly point out Sean's attempt to establish an empire. After all, once some words are made clear, it will be a real and complete turn. But now, the Peace Council can't turn against Sean, because they are afraid that Sean can't say it all by lifting the chessboard.
According to the in-depth investigation of various signs of Sean in the past, they are convinced that Sean is not a person who follows the rules. He will only borrow the rules that are beneficial to him. Once the rules are unfavorable or useless to him, his most common way is to directly flip the chessboard and rewrite the rules.
"It's the first time I've seen the peace council make excuses for the death thorn." Sean looked at the two empty shadows in front of him. After a moment of silence, he finally reopened his mouth and said, "since you want to play word games with me, you can. I accept your play."
As he said this, Sean's face showed a clean, bright and cheerful smile.
However, this kind of smile made the two liaison officers from the dead spine and peace parliament suddenly click in their hearts.
"Well, I have a lot of things to deal with. That's all for today's contact." Sean made it clear that he meant to see off the guests.
"Lord Sean, I think you'd better be careful." The dead spine liaison officer said in a bad tone.
"Are you threatening me?" Sean's tone was suddenly gloomy, his eyes became sharp, and he stared at the dead spine liaison officer. Even if they were not in physical contact, the liaison officer still had a strong illusion that his life was threatened at this moment, as if he would die at any time.
Looking at the conflict between Sean and the dead spine, the liaison officer of the peace council next to him had a bright feeling.
The hostile relationship between the dead spine and the Peace Council is well known throughout the miracle continent. Even if the Peace Council and the dead spine had to agree on some things because of sighing the forest, in essence, the two major forces are still tangled in private. The only pity is that the dead spine is deeply hidden. Even if the peace council has an intelligence network all over the miracle continent, it is difficult to find out the foundation and secret base of the dead spine, which enables the dead spine, an assassination intelligence organization, to develop and grow all the time. Otherwise, if the Peace Council makes every effort to attack, the dead spine will be a thing of the past.
"Hum." In the face of Sean's strong momentum, the dead spine member didn't say anything more. He just broke off after humming, and the virtual shadow sitting on the chair soon disappeared in front of Sean.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Watching the dead spine liaison officer leave, Sean turned his head and looked at the arbitrator of the Peace Council.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us and Lord Sean." The female arbitrator smiled and said, "if we continue to let the misunderstanding deepen, then this is not the situation we want in the Peace Council, so I think I should stay to clarify these misunderstandings."
"I don't think there's any misunderstanding." Sean said faintly, "from the moment you played the word game, the covenant agreement between us has existed in name only It's just that the person who signed the contract with me was Christina. Once you really broke the contract, Christina would die. In order not to sacrifice Christina's genius, but you don't want to see me grow up gradually, so you did something that obviously doesn't violate the agreement. "
"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Sean."
"The most elite intelligence organizations under my command are all over the void principality and even the wilderness: they exist in the void, and any conspiracy and unrest can not be concealed." Sean looked at the arbitrator and his voice was very calm, but the more calm he was, the more uneasy the arbitrator was, "but now, with the rebellion of more than 30 tribes in the wilderness, even if the * * * Kingdom took the lead and contacted other countries and nobles for secret support, they also have a problem that must be solved, that is, how to bypass the void under my command?"
The eyes of the female arbitrator narrowed slightly.
"In the whole miracle continent, there are no more than five organizations and forces that have the ability and qualification to bypass my intelligence department." Sean still continued to say, "divine eye is one of them, but it's not easy to invite this organization. It costs a lot. In addition, they have secretly fought with the qainas Empire, and now they don't have much energy to mess with the south continent."
"There are four more."
"Although both the assassin League and the Priory are assassination organizations, they also work part-time to collect and sell intelligence, but they are not as proficient as the divine eye. And the two organizations have one thing in common, or tacit understanding, that is, where the area is marked by the assassin alliance, the hermits will not enter, and vice versa Unfortunately, or fortunately, the empty principality and even the whole wilderness are the marked area of the assassin alliance, and I happen to have some friends with the assassin alliance liaison officer in this area. "
The eyes of the female arbitrator became awe inspiring: "what about the last two?"
"Your Peace Council and dead spines." Sean said faintly, "just now the dead spine has personally admitted that they have withdrawn all intelligence personnel from my territory, so the only remaining possibility is your peace council."
"Maybe the dead spine is deliberately provoking."
"Do you believe it?" Sean smiled.
"Of course I do." Said the female arbitrator.
"Well, let's say so." Sean didn't retort, but nodded. "But you broke the rules first."
Hearing Sean's words, the female arbitrator finally realized that things were likely to be more difficult than the results assessed by the house of Libra. However, her natural identity as an arbitrator of the peace parliament made it impossible for the female arbitrator to be so indifferent, so she could only speak“ Lord Sean, there should be some misunderstandings. Please believe our sincerity. "
"I also believe there may be some misunderstandings." Sean nodded.
Hearing Sean's tone was a little soft, the female arbitrator felt a little happy.
"But."
The female arbitrator's heart suddenly jumped. If there is any word she doesn't want to hear in this world, it must be the word "but". Usually, this represents a very strong turning point, which often makes things rush in an unpredictable direction.
"Someone must pay for it." Sean said calmly, "when the kingdom of * * * took the lead in trying to assassinate the commander of our principality, William Yale, I always remember this account. Just because there is no evidence, I didn't send troops to seek justice for the time being. But this time, it was still led by * * * Kingdom, who actually wanted to take advantage of the disaster of corpse invasion to create civil strife in my rear... I think you should know what would happen to the wild fortress if civil strife really broke out at that time? "
The female arbitrator was silent because she didn't know how to speak.
"Therefore, the * * * kingdom must pay a price this time." Sean said in a deep voice, "no one can still have peace of mind after provoking my empty principality."
There was another sentence that Sean didn't say, but silently added in his heart: including any organizational forces!
