In the palace area, side hall, the former deputy ministerial conference room is now converted into a conference room for foreign guests.
The person sitting in the main seat is Wang Qi. Li Xiang is standing behind him on the right side wearing armor. Behind him on the left side is Lai Wen, the administrative manager. There is another person on Li Xiang's right who is an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is responsible for today's translation work.
Obviously he has a good understanding of the language and is officially equipped with a translator. The battle can explain the problem.
That's right, the one we're meeting today is Lord Piercing Audrey.
The meeting was proposed by Audrey Fang, hoping to decide whether to join the garrison through an interview before officially starting the operational transformation.
Wang Qi attaches great importance to Audrey's personal strength, so he puts on formal clothes and waits here in advance. The formal suit he wears is similar to the style from his hometown in his previous life, with short lapels and four flap pockets.
In fact, he personally prefers short stand-up collars, but wearing them would make him look too young and inappropriate for the current occasion.
Sitting in the main seat, Wang Qi read today's department documents for a while, and heard footsteps outside.
The guard escorted Audrey directly to the door and pushed the door open for her.
Audrey wore a black fluffy long dress today. The black gauze material is a bit good, and the waist curve can be seen through several layers.
It is indeed as described in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs documents. His appearance is no different from that of a pure human being, and he is indeed pretty.
He has black hair and eyes, and his facial bones are closer to Roman orthodoxy. He is quite different from the locals. I don’t know how he evolved.
Until the door was opened, Wang Qi put down the documents and stood up, walking towards the opposite side.
There was a guard outside the door to remind Audrey to approach.
She moved two steps slowly, and her eyes seemed to have touched Li Xiang's. Wang Qi could feel that Li Xiang was staring at the chest opposite her.
Wang Qi stretched out his hand: "I hope this meeting can yield results."
Because others were beating their chests as a salute, Audrey lowered her head and glanced down. Camelia beside her reminded her quietly, then reached out to hold it, secretly using some force.
"I didn't expect the Phoenix King to be so young."
She was quite powerful, but she still relied too much on the enchantment effect. Wang Qi shook his head without changing his expression.
There was a mage nearby to "take pictures", Wang Qi got Audrey's panel data, and Audrey also saw a man who didn't cry because of him, and everyone was happy.
There is no photography industry in the Phoenix Kingdom, but wizards can take photos. Magic photos are difficult to copy and can only be used to take pictures, and then it takes time to change them into prints or other forms of paintings before they can be printed.
Audrey's attributes are extremely exaggerated for those who have come into contact with them. [Strength 60+120, Agility 80+200, Constitution 60+90, Mystery 35+35, Resistance 50+50], she actually comes with a plus sign , the plus sign probably represents the enchantment or fighting spirit attribute.
Prior to this, the highest natural attributes that Wang Qi had seen among non-inner court personnel came from a decorated exploration team member. He was an explorer recruited from the private sector, and his population strength was slightly higher than that of the Blade. However, this Even after a round of "blessing", the explorer is still not even one-third of Audrey's level at a four-star level, and his agility is even worse.
What's special is that her fighting spirit doesn't have tattoos, and it's not all colorful like adventurers and imaginations. I don't know if it's because of the different types, or because the auxiliary magic circuit has been restrained in the process of increasing her strength.
For Audrey, meeting the Phoenix King for the first time was indeed a surprise.
Magic can take photos, but it is obvious that Camelia, who has met the Phoenix King before, does not have the courage to invite photos. The monarch...even the lord is very afraid of this kind of thing.
Therefore, the understanding of the Phoenix King's appearance only remains in imagination.
It's such a waste that the only woman with such good looks and temperament is the one at the back.
After saying hello, a group of people went back to sit down.
Audrey was caught off guard. Before she could sit down, she suddenly took two steps ahead and sat on the main seat.
Li Xiang was about to have an attack, so Wang Qi reached out and patted her arm armor.
No other action.
The person responsible for relieving the siege was Lai Wen: "Lady Audrey, you are sitting in the wrong seat. This is the flag of the kingdom."
Since the Phoenix Kingdom has diplomacy, it naturally also has a flag. It didn't take much thought. The orange-red flag plus a phoenix flying upward, with black fragments falling off the tail of the phoenix, symbolizes nirvana.
The miniature version of the flag on the table only has so much information, including the complete version inserted into the flagpole, the fallen fragments of the phoenix and details, the family crests of several lords, and some symbolic patterns.
The side where Audrey was supposed to sit was also decorated with large and small flags, all of which were family emblems.
In fact, the so-called family emblem is not necessarily a family emblem. For example, Audrey's family emblem is actually a makeshift military flag pattern decades ago. Later, it was used to manage the lord's army and the city, so it was slightly changed to make it more beautiful. It was passed down, not inherited.
Audrey continued to go crazy despite Camelia's expression of fainting: "This position is very comfortable, can't you change it?"
Wang Qi nodded: "It can be exchanged as an exchange condition."
He didn't care whether he was sitting on the left or the right, because in this kind of conversation, people sit in roughly the same direction, and the angle difference between the two seats in the center is negligible. They both sit north and face south.
But he is not here to invite the uncle. Everything must come and go, and if you want to save face, you have to give up your interests.
Audrey just didn't understand the routine of managing many people, and she wasn't really stupid. After hearing Wang Qi's words, Wen walked outside and seemed to ask the soldiers to change the flag, so she quickly stood up:
"Oh, it's better not to go to too much trouble, I'll sit on the other side as well."
After the little farce passed, the two sides took their seats and entered the formal negotiation stage.
Pang Xuncheng's side seemed to have brought up the talks on the spur of the moment, but fortunately Laiwen's side had made preparations.
Pang Xun hasn't handed over yet, so we won't talk about whether Audrey personally joins the garrison and subsequent treatment, etc. We will only talk about Pang Xun's profit distribution.
Not only the assets of the lord and the retention of the lord's army, but also what aspects of the property of the big family are legal and taxable, and the possible contribution relationship between the people and the big family need to be discussed.
This process is mainly a debate between the two "pen pals" Lai Wen and Camelia, and only occasionally requires Wang Qi and Audrey to decide whether to give in.
In fact, it should all be the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Many of the discussions have already been discussed in the early stage. Otherwise, it would be necessary to prepare for the discussion on the spot. As for Audrey, there are no new requirements except for fine-tuning some clauses. The process is basically in Restate terms.
Wang Qi and Audrey are here. The most important activity is to confirm everything and sign the documents in person.
Audrey was obviously not suitable for this kind of work. The two "pen pals" communicated for an hour and before they finished reading, she took the opportunity to interrupt and asked Wang Qi:
"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
"I am the Seven-Star Assassin." Audrey said, as if she wanted to exude some murderous aura.
It's a pity that Kazuto's appearance is not surprising enough, and it has no deterrent effect compared to horror movies. The little "shock" effect from the magic layer has no effect on Wang Qi and Li Xiang.
Wang Qi looked at her for two seconds and sighed: "Audrey..."
Before she finished speaking, Audrey had already taken the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I just think it's a bit rash for you to be too close to someone like me."
Wang Qi didn't pursue it. Whether she felt a real threat from Li Xiang or took the initiative to apologize, it didn't matter if it didn't affect the outcome.
"Half of Audrey's property needs to be deposited in Phoenix Bank in the form of precious metals." Wang Qi decided to add another one and said to Lai Wen, "Make a note."
