When both parties choose to be open and honest, conversation will naturally become a lot easier.
At the initiative of Gao Wen, Melita will no longer use the "Secretary Treasure Agent" to talk to him. The words "you" are no longer used in the speech. In this case, it is obviously the performance of increasing trust. .
Talking with the dragon is a novel and interesting experience, but the real dragons are obviously not the same as those messy myths and legends. Gao Wen knows those legends, those that are circulated among the bards, recorded on the ancient stone tablets, in the occultist The legends described in the hard-hitting notes, humans seem to like to describe such powerful creatures in exaggerated and mysterious styles. The legendary dragons are powerful and proud, and they are the rulers of the sky. Treasures have surprising fanaticism, and in the ancient times, they liked to plunder the human kingdom. Even the legendary ancestors of the empire were the dragon slayers. They repelled the dragons and exchanged humanity for the rule of the mainland...
Melita Pénia is particularly helpless about these legends.
"We are a highly civilized race, but the descriptions of the stories you mentioned are closer to powerful and unconscious beasts, and the dragons like treasures but not when we robbed? Do business Isn't it faster than robbing money?"
Gao Wen... I admire the calm attitude of the Dragons on this issue.
"The races on this continent always like to make similar stories. It has been better in the last decade or so. There was a time when your human dragon slaughter novels flourished. It seems that a young man from the village would not kill a dragon or two. The words are not eligible to appear in the story of the bard," Melita said. "The trend has even attracted the attention of the jury. We sent a special observer to investigate in Loren, want to see Whether there is a conflict between the dragon and the human kingdom that went out to perform the task, the observer brought back three bards, and cheated in our country for a lifetime."
"Unknown is disturbing, a strong and mysterious race, naturally someone will arrange a bunch of sensational stories for him," Gao Wen reluctantly commented, and then the words turned, "but the story of the dragon destroying the kingdom sometimes It’s not entirely fabricated out of thin air, isn’t it?”
“Why do you say this?” Melita immediately opened her eyes. “We haven’t done it...”
Gao Wen spreads his hand: "Old Cecil was destroyed by Long Yan."
Melita’s last half sentence was suddenly smashed back and coughed again and again: “cough, cough...”
"That shouldn't be you?" Gao Wen looked at Melita's reaction and recalled the morphological characteristics of the dragon he had witnessed, and asked him.
"You were at the scene?" Melita slowed down from the cough and looked at Gao Wen with surprise. "How did I find out..."
"Sure enough, you," Gao Wen looked at Melita up and down. Although he had confirmed the facts, it was really difficult for him to associate the petite lady with the shadow of the dragon. "That seems that we have to increase the number of times we meet."
"I didn't choose at the time," Melita's voice seemed to have a hint of sorrow. "The land has been invaded by magic. The number of distortions exceeds the threshold of proliferation. Only a fire burns out the pollution to prevent the situation from getting worse." ”
"I understand that I have dealt with the distortions," Gao Wen waved. "I didn't mention this to ask for sin. Just be satisfied with your curiosity, and I am very curious about the other thing. What do you think of this dead and resurrected person?"
Melita Pénia carefully looked at Gao Wen’s eyes and said with some hesitation: “In fact, at the beginning, your resurrection brought us only chaos.”
Gao Wen frowned, and the language was puzzled: "Chaos?"
"...It took us more than a month to find out what you had in the treasure house that year..."
Gao Wen: "..."
This is really reasonable.
Melita also has the following text: "Then we launched a lot of manpower to investigate all the graves of the client who signed the custodial agreement with Mithril Treasury and died during the agreement period. Every grave was checked again, even if It’s no bones, and we’ve confirmed it all over the place.”
Gao Wen: "..."
This tm is more reasonable.
He even had a question about the business of the legendary millennium organization of Mithril Treasury. "I signed the agreement with you indefinitely. Do you take the things in the custody period because of the death of the client?" go with……"
"No, please don't doubt our professional ethics," Melita immediately interrupted Gao Wen. "We will not use the trustee's deposits during the custody, but... will be transferred to the warehouse. That's not very easy to find."
Gao Wen feels that it is a good idea to end this topic that is both doubtful about life.
It seems that all that can be talked about.
"In any case, I am very happy that we have learned more about each other," he stood up and reached out to Melita. "As you said, the dragons are not malicious to the world, I am willing to believe that. I also hope that you can believe that I have no resistance to the Dragon."
"It is our harvest to find a friend who can communicate honestly in the secular kingdom." Melita and Gwen's hand are together. "Our openness is due to an accident. Fortunately, this accident brought good. result."
Gao Wen looked at Melita’s lavender eyes outside the veil, and his expression was a little serious: "I am a person who has experienced many incredible things. Please believe that everything I have really experienced is higher than you." Wen Cecil's understanding is much more, I can accept all the incredible truths, including the magic tide, including the black trap. If you find the time to tell me or find a way to tell me, please Come on, I am ready at all times."
"I will pass your words to the jury without saying a word."
Melita said calmly, she used the word "you" again, not to show alienation, but to show solemnity.
Gao Wen nodded and said: "In addition, about the secret silver treasure store in Cecil..."
Melita blinked: "Do you want to shut them down?"
"Go ahead," Gao Wen laughed. His answer made Melita somewhat surprised. "As long as I operate legally and pay taxes according to law, I have no reason to expel them."
He can't evict the secret silver treasure house, or he can't deport the dragon's agents.
Even if he talks with Melita at this moment, he can't change the gap between the Dragon and the present Principality. The other is a high civilization that has experienced countless years. Their historical span can even cross the magic tide. The power of operating on the mainland exceeds that of any human kingdom. If they want to "observe", then Gaowen can't evict them.
Without the secret silver treasure, maybe they will be able to form a black iron treasury the next day, and they will be completely secret.
At least, the secret bank of Mithril is also filed in the government office, which is equivalent to a third-party intelligence organization that is already on the bright side. For a ruler, if he can’t clean up all hidden dangers, then he At the very least, ensure that these factors are within control.
"The dragons will remember this trust," Melietta said slightly after a moment of silence. "Please rest assured, maybe it won't take long, we will have a deeper trust between each other."
"I am waiting for that day."
Gao Wen smiled and said that Melita had walked to the door of the study, but he suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped the other party: "Wait a minute to wait for this box?"
He picked up the box filled with the ring of Mithril and shook it at the agent lady.
According to the experience of watching TV in the past, he felt that the other party should be free to swing and wave, indicating that these things are no longer important. After all, these secret silver rings now seem to be just the introduction of the other party and their own open topic. Not precious where to go.
But in fact, Melita walked back in the next second, holding the box in her hand: "Oh, I forgot this..."
Gao Wen: "...mymyttlepony, is this heavy?"
"It's very important. And how did your accent change back?"
Gao Wen waved his hand: "It's still a habit to call you."
Melita glanced at Gao Wen and shook her head: "Human, it is really difficult to understand."
Then the elegant and mysterious agent lady grabbed her box and limped away.
Gao Wen quietly stood behind the desk for a while, then turned his head and looked at the corner of the window.
It was empty and there was no breath.
It’s early to turn amber.
He shook his head helplessly, pushed forward the window and shouted at the yard: "Come back, people are gone!"
In the next second, a swift black shadow cut through the air into the study, and in the center of the room condensed the figure of Miss Elf.
Amber patted his chest, his face was exaggerated and afraid of his expression: "My mother!! My mother!! That Melita is a dragon?! You stay in a room with a humanoid dragon for two hours. ?!"
When Melita just entered the study, the elf's shame was still in the room, but she kept hiding as usual, but Gao Wen's sense of truth, when Melita showed the identity of the dragon, this guy I went out.
Melita definitely noticed this, but she obviously didn't care about this little half-elves.
"Compared to this, you as the lord guards ran in the first time, is this appropriate?" Gao Wen glanced at the amber, "I thought you would at least go to call people, and the result was actually caught in the yard. Two hours of ants?"
Amber looks like a shameless look: "I want to ask people to come, but I first observed it. I found out that the two of you actually talked quite well. I didn't ask you what to say. This is not called. Hit the grass and start a snake..."
It seems that this guy did not run far, but observed the situation nearby, which made Gao Wen happy.
"You can't usually teach you the vocabulary. You can use it when you find the opportunity." Gao Wen shook his head, then hesitated and said, "Do something right. Put all the secret silver treasure stores and agents in the territory into key monitoring. , usually pay more attention."
"Secret monitoring?"
"Secret monitoring will do."
Gao Wen has no way to expel the agent of the dragon, and he does not want to make the relationship with the dragon rigid. He hopes to have a good relationship with this ancient and powerful foreign civilization. It doesn't mean he doesn't do anything.
He retains the secret silver treasures and their agents in the territory, but they properly monitor them. This normal move will not stimulate the dragons, but also allows the Office of Government to maintain minimum control over those low-level agents. ability.
He has a judgment about the relationship between the dragon and the black trap, the concern for the secular kingdom, and their own possible level of civilization, retaining those agents and the underlying stores... sooner or later will come in handy.
