Chapter 874

The little wizard standing under the attention of the crowd whispered, tried to restrain his excitement and tension, looked straight ahead, learned Charlotte's appearance, and rose slightly.

Be confident, Ayn. Be confident. You can do it.

The silent long room, with a strange silence; She seemed to be standing there and could hear everyone's heartbeat and breathing.

"It's great to come for peace and friendship. Why, does the emperor of the human Empire promise that he will give us peace as long as the elves are willing to kneel down and bow their heads to him?"

An indignant voice sounded from the "ladder", and the strange tone was with undisguised hostility and cold.

Sure enough... As soon as the voice fell, the temperature in the whole hall seemed to drop a few degrees; A pair of eyes, more and more bad.

The frightened little wizard suddenly looked up and looked around; But the light in the long house was too dark to see who had just spoken.

No, it can't end like this... Clenched powder fist back behind him, AI Yinqiang calm down.

"In the Empire, kneeling and bowing your head is a very sacred thing, which represents that one person makes an oath of eternal loyalty to another person and makes a commitment never to betray."

The little wizard whispered, and his calm appearance surprised the elf elders in the front row: "this word, we call it 'loyalty', is obviously different from 'Peace' and 'friendship'."

"This means that the Empire has placed all of you here in an equal position with itself, and that the Empire has made equal commitments to the elves of the ancient wood forest - so what I bring today is' friendship 'and' Peace '; therefore, today we will not discuss who is' loyal' to whom."

"How to establish friendship and maintain peace is what we want to discuss today." Ayn blinked, looked in the direction of the voice, smiled and said:

"Although I don't know you, are you satisfied with my 'vocabulary explanation'?"

The situation turned.

The atmosphere in the hall was quiet for a moment, but the previous aggressive momentum dissipated a lot - the voice hiding in the back row did not continue to talk.

The little wizard finally summoned up his courage, but his mind quietly turned to not long ago

"... don't underestimate language, ain. When it's used properly, it's also a kind of weapon at the right time;" at the entrance of two glasses of red blood wine, Charlotte with blurred eyes gently hugged the little wizard's neck, as close as relatives:

"You are born with an approachable temperament. If you learn to use language, you will become the best diplomat in the Empire... Well, second only to me."

"How to learn?" felt the weight of half of his body, and the little wizard trembling with a trace of heat in his arms.

"Well asked, I... Talked to that big liar a long time ago." the drunken headache made Charlotte desperately hold AI Yin's delicate body, as if each other's body fragrance and thin shoulders could greatly alleviate her pain:

"He said a lot, but he opened his mouth. There is nothing systematic or theoretical at all."

"In my eyes, there are only three points!"

"Three, three?" she felt the other side rubbing her temples on her shoulder. Ayn was too scared to speak.

"First, never answer other people's questions and avoid or say what you have already thought; second, if someone asks you back with your words or catches your painful foot, don't try to fight or cover up, but throw back the questions in turn; being good at listening can avoid being asked."

"Finally, and most importantly, don't try to convince others or anyone that people are antagonistic; find the main contradiction in the confrontation between the two sides, find it and solve it!"

"As long as the main contradiction is solved and at least the other party's attitude can be changed from hostility to neutrality, they will really be willing to listen to your voice; at that time, you can give full play to your innate talent and influence them with your sincere sincerity."

"When necessary, you can make some sacrifices, even... Costly sacrifices..." like Charlotte, who remembered the past, her drunken cheeks reddened even more: "this is my proud... Mediation."

"That, that's its name..." Ayn asked carefully, "it's called... Charlotte mediation?"

"No, that's OK - this is what you recorded, dictated by me, and we summed up together with good wine." the drunken Charlotte, with a leisurely and lazy smile on her mouth:

"We should have a name that can represent the results of our joint efforts... Well... Let me think, think about it, it's called... Charlotte ayin mediation... Well, that's the name. I really have literary talent..."

"... you are indeed very literary, sir Ayn Rand. You are worthy of being an envoy representing the emperor of the Empire."

A fog moon court elf elder sitting in the front row spoke, but a sneer hung from the corners of his mouth: "but one or two witty words can't bring peace and friendship."

"You said you came for peace and friendship, so how can the Empire give these two to us elves in the remote forest?"

It remains an aggressive problem.

"In the imperial vocabulary, 'Grant' is connected with 'Peace' and even 'friendship', which is the most standard wrong sentence." Ayn's mouth burst into a steady smile:

"Peace or friendship cannot be given by one to another."

"I said, Lord Ayn Rand, playing with words and jokes can't..."

"Because these two things can only be obtained through joint efforts!" with his eyes wide open, the little wizard's extremely serious attitude made the surrounding elves even ignore the interrupted elder:

"On behalf of the Empire and the heavenly palace, his majesty Eckhardt II is willing to exchange the most sincere heart of friendship with the spirit partners of the ancient wood forest to build our common peace!"

"This is the promise that I, Ayn Rand, made to you; I also hope to exchange your promise, because I believe that the elves who love the forest and fight with ogres know the value of peace!"

"Because I believe that I... And the Empire behind me came here, sent messengers to communicate with you, reached an appropriate agreement, and finally realized real peace!"

The elder of the fog moon court was speechless on the spot.

Silence and silence were broken, and whispers among the Elven elders came from the back of the stairs.

"It is admirable that you are willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity and promise for promise... Because we are the same."

An elder of the Western wasteland forest, with bare upper body, gray beard, hair and eyebrows, stood up and looked calm like a wind eroded brass clock:

"Then, in your opinion, who caused the contradiction between us and your emperor and his empire?"

This... The little wizard frowned, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

His words were not an expression of hostility, but had made it clear that he was going to drive himself out!

On the one hand, the little wizard can't say "it's all the elves' fault", so the meeting will collapse just at the beginning;

On the other hand, she can't say "it's the fault of the Empire", that is, she fell into a trap. Next, the other party has some ways to weave "charges" to turn the meeting into a horn for elves to declare war on the Empire.

In that way, as the fully responsible imperial envoy, Loren Turin gave the heavenly palace the best reason to punish and blame him.

"This... We should not only see the contradictions of the past, but look to the future..."

"I don't care about the future!" the elder of the wasteland forest drank off the pale little wizard and asked condescending:

"I just want you to tell me, in your heart and that Imperial Emperor's heart, is it all our fault?"

"I..."

"Answer me, yes or no?!"

His eyes were as open as brass bells.

The terrible sense of oppression and the sudden silence of the hall made Ayn feel suffocated - a terror that had never been seen on the battlefield of Boye.

No... yes, but they were blocked out by some villain.

This time, no one will stand in front of him; This time, I have to face it alone.

No longer hiding in a safe place, no longer doing something for him silently behind his back, no longer hiding carefully... This time, Ayn Rand, want to defeat his enemies with his own hands!

Looking up, the little wizard looked at the elder of the wasteland forest with four eyes and did not shrink back: "since you want to know the answer so much, I'll tell you."

In full view of the public, elder Lin of the wasteland, who was stared at by AI Yin, felt very uncomfortable.

This feeling made him very angry and his expression became more and more terrible.

"Yes --!"

There was an uproar.

Hearing this, the Elven elders in the long house showed their anger and resentment one after another; Or glare, or sigh on your back.

"Look, this is the sincerity of your imperial people! This is what you say!" elder araka Lin said angrily: "you really admit that all the mistakes are on us and you are innocent!"

"Yes, isn't that what you want me to say? Isn't that what you and some of you here want to see?" Ayn said coldly:

"Your Excellency, you don't know how to listen at all. You just want to hear what you want to hear, and then manipulate this meeting!"

"You..." the elder of the wasteland forest was surprised and angry.

"I came here with a heart for friendship and peace between the two sides." ayin robbed him for the first time: "but you questioned me again and again in such a righteous tone, desperately asking me who was right and who was wrong - are these the questions that two people who want to make friends will ask

"The Empire treats you with an equal attitude, which expresses the most sincere sincerity; and you want to know who is right and who is wrong again and again, but you keep creating cracks and frictions in this sincerity, and you want to deliberately separate up and down, so as to make the equal relationship unequal."

"Let's ask -- there are unequal friendships in this world. Do the friendships between ELF settlements also have to be divided into high and low, three, six, nine, etc.!"

The excited little wizard used all his strength, blushed, and almost shouted this sentence with a roar.

The sharp voice echoed for a long time in the long house shaped like a "concert hall".

Whispers, discussions, noise, yelling... Were all covered by the voice of a small wizard.

"The premise of friendship and peace is mutual respect and understanding." after a moment of meditation, the red faced ayin choked: "of course, there is the most sincere sincerity."

"Well said, well said - what about sincerity?"

Before the elder of the wasteland forest sat down, another elder next to him stood up: "how can we believe that your empire is really willing to make peace with us, not a false lie?"

"It's too fantastic for you to convince them that what you said is true without real evidence!"

"Your Excellency doesn't have to do this at all --!"

All eyes turned together, and the elder of the morning star forest got up to speak. His impassioned expression was completely opposite to that of the leader of the wasteland forest.

"In terms of sincerity... The morning star forest, and even all the settlements in the eastern forest, are willing to believe in the sincerity of AIN Rand - because ain Rand has answered with practical actions."

"When the ogre invaded, Ayn Rand stood side by side with thousands of war dancers to resist the enemy under the big tree wall, and saved countless young elves with sweat, sincerity and wisdom;"

"When we negotiate with shenlinbao and the rulers of the human world, it is ayin Rand who mediates and tries his best to maintain the initially fragile peace that both sides do not trust each other;"

"Ayn Rand... Has proved to us with practical actions that it is possible to live in peace with the human world; and all elves who have fought bloody battles in the big wall have the obligation to die for Ayn Rand!"

"So today, our morning star forest will protect ain Rand - if I want to die, let me fulfill my oath today!"

Elder Lin Chenxing, with this no exaggeration oath, put an end to his speech.

The atmosphere in the hall became calm.

No more elves dare to speak.

Ayin finally smiled a triumphant smile at the corners of her mouth - she knew that these elders had been convinced by herself that the Empire was sincere in this trip.

The next step is to go further, find the biggest contradiction and "differences" between the two sides, take a low attitude and make some harmless compromises and concessions, you can

"Well said, well said."

An abrupt voice came from a corner of the long house:

"Unfortunately, all these are impossible to achieve."
