Chapter 2107 Failed

Thousands of miles of Gobi, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but loess.

In this desolate place, there are two armies facing each other from a distance, as abrupt and chilling as the poplar trees.

Between the two armies, a temporary tent stood in the cold wind of the loess.

The tent was surrounded by guards with light armor and sharp swords, all of them looking alert and ready.

Five meters away from the tent, two old men in simple clothes were holding teacups in their hands, chatting happily.

This relaxed and comfortable scene is incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere, as abrupt and dazzling as a bright light in the dark night.

Those who don't know may be surprised and wonder why there are two unique old men on the murderous battlefield.

Those who knew it remained silent, especially adventurers who had reached a certain level of strength. They would not feel the appearance of the two old men was any irritant at all.

They just think it's normal.

Because of these two old men, one is a veteran of the national power of Dasai City, and the other is a veteran of the national power of Airui City.

The two powerful men who usually live in seclusion, once they appear here, there is only one reason - their king is here.

There were six people sitting in the tent. The three on the left were Carter Horton, the Lord of Airy City, the Prime Minister of Airy City, and the leader of the Think Tank of Airy City. The ones on the right were the Orc King, Prime Minister Lesta and me.

After the two parties met and sat down, Carter Horton was the first to speak and chatted with the Orc King. The two of them talked happily. At first glance, they thought it was a reunion of old friends.

Prime Minister Lesta teased Prime Minister Airei City and nodded slightly in greeting.

I followed suit and nodded to the leader of the Air City think tank, but the other party ignored me at all, and I suffered a great loss.

But it’s right to think about it. The youngest person here is twice as old as me. Calculated by age, I am not even qualified to sit here, but I can participate in the meeting as the third-in-command of Dasai City, and my status He is still on par with the forty-year-old head of the Air City think tank. How can this uncle not feel unhappy?

But you are unhappy, but you can't change any facts. You can only sit opposite me and face my smiling face.

After chatting for a while, Carter Horton suddenly turned to me and said with a smile: "Isn't this An Xiaoyi? I didn't expect that you, who had always been unknown in Airui, came to Dasai City and suddenly became the prime minister. It's really impressive. I'm surprised."

"Your Majesty is right." I smiled slightly and said, "I once heard such a fable. Sour oranges originally planted in the south were transplanted to the north and turned into sweet oranges. I wonder if you have heard of this fable. ?”

Carter Horton's smile remained unchanged: "I haven't survived, but fables are all false most likely."

"What if this fable happens to be one of those ten or two?"

Carter Horton's eyes flashed, but his smile became even brighter: "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared."

I smiled and looked away, while sizing up the reactions of the Prime Minister and the think tank of Airui City.

The prime minister of Ai Ruicheng is obviously a very powerful master of the city. Even if I take advantage of his master in speaking quickly, the old man still looks calm and calm, as if he doesn't understand at all.

The Ai Rui City think tank was obviously inferior. Although he also did not show any displeasure, the glint in his eyes and the solemn look on his eyebrows betrayed his mood.

Then, the negotiations officially began.

The Orc King was the first to make a suggestion, hoping that the two countries could shake hands and make peace and withdraw from this ominous place.

Carter Horton obviously disagrees. The fine gold here is rich. If all can be mined, it will be enough to fill the shortage of fine gold in Airey City for many years.

The Prime Minister of Ai Ruicheng also intentionally or unintentionally warned the Orc King, don't even think about getting gold alone.

Prime Minister Lesta argued hard, saying that Dasha City has always been the country that most abides by the contract and has never disdained to devour it secretly.

The think tank retorted that there are few mineral deposits in continents such as fine gold, so people will be tempted. He also believes that the representatives of Dashai City will not violate the contract, but this does not mean that others do not covet it.

What the think tank said was on point. Greed is the strongest emotion in human nature. If it weren't for the fear that there might be an ancient country under the Gobi, the Orc King would definitely not initiate this negotiation. Instead, he would secretly send his men to dig secretly. Strive for greater benefits.

Now that the topic has been discussed, the Beastman King has no choice but to reveal all the records in ancient documents.

"Under where we are sitting now, there is a terrible disaster sealed," the orc king said: "Those fine gold and mithril are props used to seal the disaster. If they are dug out, it will inevitably trigger a fire." upset."

Unsurprisingly, Carter Horton showed disgust and disdain for the Orc King's advice: "I say Raphael, you and I have been dealing with each other for a long time, why do you have to make up such lies to deceive me? "

As he said this, he shook his head, turned to me, and said: "No, this kind of lie with no technical content is completely inconsistent with your identity, Raphael. On the contrary, it is more consistent with you. Elder An Xiaoyi, do you think you can use it?" Can such little cleverness and little lies deceive me?"

I couldn't laugh or cry at Carter Horton's sarcasm.

Yes, I did tell a lot of lies, but I never created a lie that was enough to cause panic.

I know very well that things like disasters, which are related to the lives and safety of the people of Zefeng Continent, cannot be used casually as a joke.

Sighing softly, I said: "You overestimate me. No matter how bold I am, I would not dare to joke about disasters."

However, Carter Horton still didn't believe it. He was such a suspicious person. As long as his subjective consciousness did not believe someone, no matter what the other person said, it would be a lie to him.

Since he wanted to seek death, I couldn't persuade him, so I had to show my hands to the Orc King and Prime Minister Lestat and express my helplessness.

The Orc King and Prime Minister Lesta didn’t have any expectations for this either. Of course, it wasn’t that they had no expectations for me, but for Carter Horton.

After dusk, a temporary tent.

"This bastard won't listen to advice at all!" the Beastman King said angrily as he slapped the case.

"If he had been willing to listen to the advice, he would no longer be the all-powerful Lord of Airui City." Prime Minister Lesta looked indifferent, as if he had already expected such an outcome.

"To be honest, I really want to fight him hard!" the Orc King said angrily, but then he sighed again and said: "But when I think about this guy's situation, I feel a little sad for him. ”

"It's good that your Majesty knows." Prime Minister Lesta poured a cup of tea for the Orc King and said calmly: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. Carter Horton is planning to seize this opportunity and kill Carter, who is already on the verge of collapse. The family is back on its feet, but this time, his hopes may be dashed.”
