Chapter 116 115. What kind of life mentor are you pretending to be?
Smiling is a sign of friendliness.
The principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person is universal.
But in this situation, Stesa felt that this chuckle was by no means a sign of successful negotiation.
They broke down.
"You should listen to what the living me can bring to you. It is not too late for you to refuse."
Count Stesa's self-confident and calm tone began to change along with his face.
He began to feel that the situation was beyond his control.
This feeling never appeared in his heart after the boyhood of his life passed.
So that for a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression he should put on now.
"Lan En, I am not deliberately exaggerating your value in order to survive! You do have the potential to change a kingdom!"
"You can appear in my study silently and give me my Press your face on the table! If you join forces with me with this ability, we can change the situation in Temeria!"
"Also! You have only been a demon hunter for just two months! It has grown to this point! If you can give the know-how to someone with enough capital, can you imagine what it will bring to you!"
"Status, power, Wealth, women. These things that ordinary people have longed for all their lives are like mud by the lake. You can't shake it off even if you step on your shoes!"
"Indulging in personal power is stupid and reckless! Husband's move, Lan En, you have seen me defenseless, and you have seen the power that a person like me can wield. ”
"How much money can you make by fighting monsters in the wild? Even if your rapid growth does not have a secret that can be popularized, it is just because of your talent. Then you can also change the track. As long as I promote it a little, you can You can become a great warrior who will go down in history!"
"At that time, you can become my guard or a star warrior, and your one-time appearance fee is something that other demon hunters will not be able to earn in several lifetimes! Money!”
Count Stesa forced himself to calm down and talk.
He is confident in his eloquence. As long as he is allowed to speak and explain Lan En's dilemma and the help he can bring to him, then the other party has no reason to refuse.
He already knew the difficult life of the demon hunters through the information just now.
It is precisely because of this that he has more confidence in persuading Lan En.
He has seen too many humble and poor people, and he can see through what these people are thinking at a glance.
How many days did it take for Lan En to go from an ordinary person who couldn't even hold a sword to the warrior who can kill the escort team now?
Suddenly gaining the power to make decisions about other people's lives and deaths can even destroy a person more than getting rich overnight.
He should be able to figure out what Lan En is thinking.
"Threat first, then cooperate. Do you superiors seem to like to play this trick?"
Lan leaned back in his chair and looked at Staisa lazily.
The count thought about Lan En's various reactions after listening to his analysis.
The embarrassment of being caught in a predicament by the hostages, the desire for money and power, and the entanglement of cooperating with the person he wanted to kill the next moment.
He thought of various follow-ups. Situations, and how to use the various emotions involved.
But there was only one thing that he didn't even dare to think about.
——He doesn’t care.
Just like now.
This witcher doesn’t care at all!
“When I first came here, your hand was already on Oriden’s villagers’ information. You probably planned to exert influence on the village as your lord, and then use my friendship with them To tie me up is like putting a chain on a mad dog.”
"But the next moment, my hand pressed your face on the table. And now, you are starting to talk to me about win-win cooperation."
Lan En looked at the man pretending to be calm strangely. Stesa, it was like looking at a water ghost in clothes.
“Do you really think you are a person?”
The Earl’s bite muscles suddenly bulged, which was because he clenched his back molars.
But even in this situation, he still spoke in a calm and rational tone.
"There's no need, Lan En. There's absolutely no need for you to kill me. After you kill me, you and those children won't even be able to leave this manor! You don't have to talk about cooperation, but at least don't harm yourself!" Every word! , rather than begging for mercy, it was even more like thinking about Lan En.
While saying these words, Stesa's hands under the table were shaking.
He didn't know if Lan En was aware of this, but when he looked at Lan En, he could see disinterest in his eyes.
"My lord, Count." The demon hunter said with a sigh and repeated it again. "My Lord Earl."
"From the beginning, you wanted to make me submit with overwhelming information and a sense of crisis. You sold me your philosophy of life and wanted to teach me what kind of person I should become. If you are really a generous elder A wise senior, there is nothing wrong with that. But the problem now is"
Lan nodded at Staisa with a funny and playful expression.
"Who do you think you are?"
The smile turned cold, and then the playfulness turned directly into contempt and ridicule.
"How many words have you read in your life? How many books? How many hundred years of history have you heard in your life? You just want to teach me?"
"You think I am a demon hunter of unknown origin, you think I am just a young boy who grew up in the mountains, so you are going to use this method to kidnap my mind?"
"Tai Moria belongs to the four northern kingdoms, and it is true that it is very powerful, but when talking about the north, we usually talk about the 'northern kingdoms'."
Lan looked at Staisa with a sneer, this noble man. Sir, the color of those thin lips is fading uncontrollably.
“You said that your subordinates would do anything to use me as a credential for their superiority. But before that, let’s review our geography knowledge.”
“Temeria It borders the Brugge and Soden regions to the south, and what if we turn our sights further south? ”
Lan tapped his fingers on the armrest.
"That's Cintra. My lord."
"That was a warrior who felt a strong sense of crisis because he was too close to Nilfgaard, to the point of developing hostility. Country."
"Let me tell you what will happen after I kill you."
Lan En's tone looked at the count who was looking increasingly ugly. More and more calm and determined.
Just like Count Stesa who was talking about it just now.
"In terms of the 'legitimacy' you are most familiar with, the King of Temeria is undoubtedly the 'wary southerner'. And I killed an earl who had opposing political views to him. . This is of course a serious crime in terms of law, but in terms of the ethics of the northern countries, my behavior is blameless because I am on the same line as the king, and I have a firm grasp of legitimacy."
"Then I will go to Sintra, and that country will make me a flag hero against the South because of my actions and bravery. They like this idea so much. They can do whatever you promise. Give it to me."
"What can your disorganized subordinates do to me? Don't be ridiculous. Even you are far from qualified to represent Temori. Asia started a war against the country, not to mention those rotten fish and shrimps."
"Then what else can they do? How much of the dignity of the knights can be left after they leave the fiefdom? Click on the assassin, spend some money and put a reward on it, but look at me"
"Do I seem like someone who is afraid of assassins?"
Lan looked at this powerful earl.
His lips trembled, and the panic that could not be concealed was finally revealed in his eyes.
“You think that I am no different from the farmer in this information. I have been trapped in making a living all my life and have limited knowledge. As long as others say something that exceeds one-third of an acre in my village, I can only He nodded stiffly, not daring to refute."
"Now, please use your superb vision and perspective to evaluate it, Lord Count."
Lan tilted his head and looked at Stesa.
"Is this analysis of the international situation likely to come true?"
Stacea nodded numbly, and then
popped.
The stack of information in Lan En's hand was thrown directly across the table into the earl's face, and he sighed.
"So, what kind of life mentor are you pretending to be?"
Today's third update is complete! ! !
