Faced with Shadow's question, Ma En did not answer immediately. It would be more difficult to deal with the remnants of the Northern Federation Salvation Alliance than he originally thought to help them join forces with the Titans, but this also had an advantage.
That is, he can naturally make a request for the anti-psychic medicine. If things develop as he originally imagined, then he may have to use some means to obtain the anti-psychic medicine.
But the current situation can be said to be a matter of course.
"I'll think about it." Ma En deliberately showed a thoughtful look.
Seeing this, Nie Chengyu immediately said:
"If Mr. Marn is willing, we can also discuss the reward for this operation in detail. You saw what the Federation has last time. We can talk about it as long as you want."
Ma En shook his head slightly:
"The things our Camarilla needs are extremely rare, at least I haven't seen them with you."
Shadow asked:
"Then what do you need?"
He thought for a moment and then said:
"Well, let me tell you a few things and see if you have any. We are looking for some abnormal items that can travel through time and observe the past directly, props that can perfectly heal irreversible psychological trauma, or weapons that you must have to suppress the power of reality distortion. Or items, we should still have demand for these.”
Hearing this, member Nie's mouth twitched slightly. Although the preciousness of the items mentioned by Ma En may be slightly different, they are all extremely precious and rare top-level abnormal items.
Shadow's expression became slightly more serious:
"If we just talk about this matter, it is impossible for the Federation to give something so precious."
Ma En said calmly:
“I mention these not because they are equivalent to your requirements, because we only have demand for these three things I mentioned,
"The premise of the transaction is not that the items on both sides of the scale have the same weight, but the exchange of needs, and I only have these few needs, and you have nothing else to give us.
"Even if there were, I wouldn't be able to tell you."
The other two items are naturally a cover-up for Ma En. Even the actual request for anti-psychic medicine is not exaggerated by him to the extent that it can be perfectly cured, so that it is not abrupt when it appears at the same time as the two.
Of course, if the Federation is willing to provide the other two things, he can also accept it. Items that can observe past history may also help him find past memories, especially after being used through the Anomaly Control Bureau.
Weapons used to deal with the power of reality benders can be used to deal with demons and angels.
Nie Chengyu glanced at the shadow, and then seemed to have received some news. His expression immediately became extremely serious and serious, and his eyes were fixed on Ma En, as if he was conducting some formal negotiation.
"Sorry, we can't accept this condition. You're a bit of a lion."
Ma En shrugged:
"I actually want to stop you from attacking the Northern Federation, but I am still a member of the Camarilla. I have caused too much trouble to my alliance during this time, and now I must repay their kindness.
"At least, I can't just bring back a few more troubles without taking anything."
Shadow pondered for a moment and then said:
"Well, your request is indeed too much, and we certainly can't satisfy it, but we have a drug that can temporarily heal irreversible psychological trauma. If you are interested, you can take a look."
Ma En said casually:
"Show me the file."
Soon the document containing the detailed information was in Ma En's hands, and he pretended to read it, as if he was considering whether it was worth his while.
After reading all the information, Ma En nodded slightly:
"Okay, this should be enough for me to explain."
Seeing his reaction, Nie Chengyu also breathed a sigh of relief, but this was what he expected. Although Ma En had just given the reason for rejecting them, he still felt that Ma En would not give up helping the remnants of the Salvation Alliance.
If he didn't take action, the fate of those members of the Northern Federation's Salvation Alliance might not be very good. Therefore, deep down in his heart, he must still hope to agree to this deal, but he was restricted by various factors and could not agree to their request at will.
"Speaking of which," Ma En asked as if a sudden thought occurred to her, "You actually care so much about Shen Xiao's feelings and thoughts on this matter. I thought you all didn't care what she thinks."
Nie Chengyu showed a confident look:
"It's normal for you to have such doubts. All politicians hope that Shenxiao can be controlled by us, but we have quite a lot of differences about the various details of controlling her in the future. There are many other things besides this matter.
"For example, I think Shenxiao will have a higher degree of freedom in the future, so what I do now will leave her with enough favor, and this will turn into our interests in the future.
“Simply put, I was investing ahead of time, the question was whether my judgment was right or not.
"However, Lord Shadow's views on this are the same as mine."
He also looked at the shadow.
"There may be some ambiguity in saying this." The seen shadow clarified, "I am not as firm as him in thinking that Shenxiao will have a higher degree of freedom in the future. In fact, I think there are several possibilities. The opportunity became a reality because the federation that was fighting against Shenxiao was strong enough, but I was a little different from other politicians.
"That is, there is no cost for their misjudgment, because there are too many politicians, but if the reality of Shenxiao getting a high degree of freedom happens, and I do something that particularly offends her...
"Then she will definitely find me."
This actually explains why there is such a huge conflict between the views of many politicians and Shadow. In fact, it is not because Shadow has completely similar judgments to them, but because even if their judgments are similar, he cannot afford to risk offending Shen Xiao. cost.
Because even if Shen Xiao has only a very low probability of gaining freedom, the cost of offending Shen Xiao will be extremely serious, and there may even be a risk of death, so he has no intention of taking a path that will offend Shen Xiao.
Most importantly, his interests are inherently different from those of politicians.
The greed and fear of these politicians forced them to imprison Shenxiao because they were afraid that they would be killed by this terrible and just force, but Shadow was not worried about this.
Not to mention that he doesn't even care about the survival of the Federation. He is not a thug of these politicians in the first place.
He is the "shadow" of his master.
Ma En nodded slightly:
"That's it. I hope your expectations can become reality."
Shadow did not answer this question, but said directly:
"So we have a deal?"
