"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
Curio did not stop her. Giving gifts according to etiquette did not conflict with her values.
Then Wilhelm took a step forward.
"Your Highness Shen Fu, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Is it true that your country's envoy has grasped the movements of the White Whale, one of the three major magical beasts?"
This was the first time that Wilhelm spoke to Shen Fu. At this time, the old swordsman felt different from before. There was a sharp aura floating around his body, like a sword coming out of his body and filled with cold light.
It was not a comfortable thing to be watched by such a sword ghost.
Show an indifferent smile and hide the discomfort in your smile.
"Of course I won't joke about something like this. Since I said it, it's true!"
Taking a deep breath, Wilhelm seemed to be the kind old man he used to be. He gently stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"In this case, if I don't die on this trip, I will definitely repay your country's kindness!"
Sword Demon Wilhelm's wife, the ancestor Sword Master Theresia, was killed by the White Whale, so she had great hatred for the White Whale.
Shen Fu had known this for a long time from the original work, so he was not surprised by the attitude shown by the sword ghost at this moment.
"I hope His Highness Shen Fu can forgive me. The 'White Whale of the Fog' is indeed a pain in the hearts of our people. In order to conquer the White Whale, the Knights of the Kingdom paid a heavy price. It was during that time that Wilhelm's wife Died during the expedition."
Curxiu sighed slightly. It was rare for her to show such an expression for someone who always gave people a "majestic" image.
In fact, if it weren't for the appearance of Reinhardt, the strongest swordsman in history, the strength of the entire Lugnika Kingdom would be nothing to mention in Shen Fu's eyes. Just one of the three major magical beasts, White Whale, would let them The price was paid in countless blood for decades.
"We have also learned about these. To be honest, for us, the strength of the White Whale is nothing. The reason why we invite you here is also out of revenge considerations. I believe Lord Wilhelm will be very happy. Witness the death of a beluga whale.”
Shen Fu's meaning is also very obvious. Just watch this battle and we will solve everything.
"Even so, our understanding of the beluga and the information we have will help you. After all, the beluga is not just a huge monster."
Curxiu, who smiled lightly, turned a blind eye to Shen Fu's confidence. In her opinion, even if the Chinese nation was very powerful, it would not be able to crush the white whale. And Shen Fu's confidence was only generated when he didn't know much about Beluga.
"These things will be discussed in detail at the combat meeting later."
Shen Fu saw that Ji Ming and Liu Shiyi were already approaching.
"The conference hall is ready. Please come with me. We have also invited Anastasia Hesing, the president of the Hessing Chamber of Commerce. You can take a break in the conference room and wait for a while."
Ji Ming still looked polite and polite.
Did you also invite Anastasia? So the Iron Fang mercenary group in the original book may also participate. Is this necessary?
Although with such questions, this time was not the time to ask, so Shen Fu had no choice but to follow Ji Ming and Curxiu to the conference room.
The conference room is on the third floor of the newly built command center. It was a huge round table conference room. Shen Fu sat in the main seat without hesitation, Ji Ming and Liu Shiyi sat on his right side, and Cruxiu and others sat on the left side.
"Your Excellency Ji Ming, did you just say that you invited the president of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce to come?"
As soon as she sat down, Cruxiu raised her own question. In addition to the revenge factor, the crusade against the White Whale was also a huge achievement for the King's Chosen. Naturally, she did not want other King's Chosen to participate.
"In fact, this is also based on the consideration of the covenant between us."
Ji Ming crossed his hands and put them on the table.
"Your Highness Curxiu, our covenant that day is that you are responsible for communicating with your country and dividing the Warcraft Forest to our country, while we are responsible for cleaning up the Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest, and promise not to make any mistakes for your country's previous actions. Retaliatory attack, can it be correct?”
"Exactly, your conclusion is completely correct."
Cruxiu's expression gradually became serious. She, who was most interested in the alliance, already had a vague idea of what Ji Ming was going to say.
"The current situation is that although our country can obtain the ownership of the World of Warcraft Forest, it has to pay a large amount of purchase money to your country for this. This is something that is not within the covenant. Therefore, I doubt your ability to realize the covenant. .”
The scene... suddenly turned cold.
Only then did Shen Fu know that the reason why Ji Ming chose to play the White Whale card now seemed to be because there was a problem in the negotiations to divide the World of Warcraft Forest.
Does the Kingdom of Lugnica require China to pay a large sum of money to purchase the World of Warcraft Forest?
"Your Highness Kurxiu, I wonder if this is true. Is your country really making such a request?"
Even with Shen Fu's simple diplomatic knowledge, he knew that the act of buying land and the meaning of being given land were completely different things.
After a moment of silence, Curxiu's tight lips relaxed slightly.
"Huh, it's really troubling. Pointing out the facts so straightforwardly makes me feel ashamed. In this covenant, our power is limited and we cannot achieve the best results. If your country is I have nothing to say for choosing to involve Anastasia Hessing for this reason."
Shen Fu nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Curio, even so, the covenant between us still exists, but spending money to purchase land is unacceptable to our country. It is not in line with our values for land."
"That's so nice of you, Mr. Fu. The Lun family thought the gift was gone. So, it's all the fault of those greedy civil servants. Our lord has done his best."
Felix, who had been silent since he came in, also smiled again. He didn't want Crusch to have the reputation of being unable to fulfill the covenant at all - that would be a heavy pressure on her.
It's just that Fu Jun... the homophony of this title gave Shen Fu goosebumps. He was not the kind of gentleman with special hobbies and had no interest in cute boys.
"Ahem, Felix can call me Shen Fu or just Fu. In short, let's wait here for Anastasia's arrival. Ji Ming, ask someone to bring some tea."
The crusade against the White Whale seemed to have nothing to do with Emilia. Shen Fu felt a little pity for her. However, with Emilia's status in the royal capital, she could not help at all in this matter. It may even have the opposite effect.
