When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, force can often solve 80% of the problems.
But if the strength of the two parties is between equals, or if they do not have a clear understanding of each other's methods, then intrigue is the most common method used by humans without knowing the details of the other party.
To be honest, Angers himself didn't know how many years he had not conducted a negotiation so seriously.
He is the dean of Kassel College, the current leader of the Secret Party, and is also known as the strongest hybrid in the world.
Whether among ordinary people or mixed races, Angers' strength and power have undoubtedly reached a peak.
Therefore, even when facing the school board, the mixed-race nobles of the old era, and the mixed-race families behind the secret party, Angers would choose to overwhelm others face to face.
No one would choose to offend this strong old lion. Even though he has white hair, he is still the king of the lions. No one will doubt the fighting ability of the lion king.
Not to mention, Anger's Word Spirit Time Zero is perfect for backstabbing.
Kill invisible.
Therefore, even if everyone is very dissatisfied with Angers, no one will conflict with Angers head-on if they are not sure. If they are recorded in the notebook, it will be useless to sleep on the same bed with the bodyguard every day for the rest of their lives. .
Scientific research shows that a person's age depends on his inner desires.
Movie stars in their 50s look as dashing and impulsive as young men, but company employees in their 50s are getting fatter and ready to retire because movie stars have bigger desires. Desire makes one young.
And Angers desire is...
revenge.
This desire is more vigorous than any other desire. Like the seeds of a poisonous plant, it will take root in the heart and grow into a big tree. Finally, the shadow of the tree will cover the whole heart.
Angers' condition is much better than he appears on the surface, and if possible, he can even return to the battlefield.
This is a lion that is always licking its claws, waiting for revenge.
Some people even suspected that if it weren't for the fact that this old lion had been waiting for revenge in his heart, he would have broken the deadlock with some of the scum in the current mixed race.
So when Angers shows his strong side, everyone will choose to compromise and then take a step back, and Angers' goal will naturally be achieved.
This move has been tried many times, but there is no way to use it on Gu Bei.
Because Gu Bei and Anger are players in the same position.
In terms of strength, Gu Bei's hard power may be a little weaker than Angers, and his combat experience is not as rich as Angers, but he knows enough and has enough fun. In a real fight, who will win and who will lose? Unknown.
Furthermore, Angers does not understand the emerging extraordinary power system of Yishu, and naturally he will not act rashly.
In terms of power, Angers has a well-organized secret party under his command and a talented Kassel Academy.
However, things are treacherous within the secret party and opinions are not unified.
Kassel College is also constrained by the school board. Although there are many talents, most of them have great potential but a promising future.
So Angers seems to have a lot of talent under his hands, but in fact there is no one to use.
The reason why Angers was elected as the leader of the secret party is, on the one hand, because the major families need a spokesperson to lead the secret party, and Angers, "the most powerful hybrid in the world", is naturally the first choice; on the other hand, Because Angers is one of the few remaining members of the original Lionheart Society, and Menech Cassel, the leader of the first Lionheart Society, is the former leader of the Secret Party.
Through various fates, Angers became the current leader of the secret party and dean of Kassel College. However, if you study carefully, you will find that there is no background behind this guy and he was purely pushed out as a puppet.
It is estimated that the group of people who elected Angers as the leader of the secret party did not expect that the young man who survived the Summer Mourning incident would one day be able to be on an equal footing with them due to his strength.
But even so, it is a fact that there is no one available in Angers.
On Gu Bei's side, most of the people in Nadu Tongli were loyal, and those who were not loyal would have their souls stamped on them to force them to be loyal.
Not to mention the middle and low-level members who have no access to the core secrets, as long as they have some power, every one of them has been mentally locked by Gu Bei himself. Even if he learned the soul-clearing technique, he can't unlock it.
The whole place is accessible, and no one is spared except Lu Mingfei, who is unable to move due to Lu Mingze.
Neither can his direct disciple Su Xiaoqiang, who must also be locked up.
It's not that I can't believe it, it's just that the magic involved too much, so I just left a safety net.
By comparison, Gu Bei's omnipotence can simply destroy everyone under Ange's command, but this is an ideal situation.
The most likely possibility is that the old nobles heard that Angers was going to steal the magic, and then they jointly sent people to Angers to grab the magic first, and how to divide it was a matter later.
Just like the eight robbers back then.
Therefore, in terms of power, the two parties are evenly matched.
However, although Angers is the leader of the Secret Party, he and the Secret Party are two separate parts after all. Rather, it is better to say that the magic he acquired is not only needed to slay the dragon, but also to defend against the Secret Party to a certain extent.
He didn't want those drunken men and women to stab him in the back while he and his students were fighting the dragon clan on the battlefield.
Therefore, Angers would not choose to join forces with the Secret Party unless necessary.
Moreover, he heard that the secret party had already made a plan to steal the treasure, so he gave up his original plan of waiting for Gu Bei in the academy and instead set out to the Celestial Empire, just to get the magic first before the secret party.
Angers' secret visit to the Celestial Empire was very low-key, also to prevent the secret party family from getting wind of it.
In short, he was bound to acquire this technique.
But he wanted it, but Gu Bei didn't really want to give it.
In Gu Bei's plan, alien magic can only be mastered by Nadu Tong, and is a tool used to balance humans, hybrids, and dragons.
The original plan was that when the hybrids and humans wiped out the Dragon Clan, there would inevitably be disagreements within the hybrids, creating two forces: the coexistence faction and the dominance faction.
After all, although mixed-race people have two bloodlines flowing through them, their hearts are still human hearts.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
Hybrids will inevitably become the new dragons, and humans need hybrids to fight against dragons. So what about fighting against hybrids?
Rely on technology?
Don't be ridiculous, hybrids surpass humans in all aspects, including thinking and brains. Their technology surpasses humans by at least twenty years.
It is said that as soon as Jobs made the fruit, the Kassel Equipment Room equipped the execution department specialists with a complete set of upgraded versions of the imitation fruit and named them vegetables.
In addition to exploding, the hardware is already capable of running mid-level artificial intelligence.
So it's just a joke for humans to rely on technology to defeat hybrids.
At this time, magic comes in handy.
Because the technology of alien magic is incompatible with dragon blood, hybrids cannot practice it completely, but humans can reach the sky in one step with the help of alien magic.
Magic is humanity’s last trump card.
At that time, Gu Bei would never have used foreign magic to do business with hybrids. After all, no country would trade its own egg-boxing technology with a hostile country.
But later, after Nadutong took in Old Tang, Lu Mingfei, Fenrir, and Jormungandr, Nadutong's core philosophy changed.
In addition to safeguarding race, nation, and country, we will not use force unless necessary and implement peaceful policies.
To put it simply, dragons, hybrids, and humans are allowed to coexist equally on the premise of not endangering race, nation, and country, and complying with relevant laws.
In this case, the positioning of Yishu naturally changed.
The magic at this time is a guarantee for enforcing laws, maintaining order, and establishing peace everywhere.
From a box of eggs, it has become a gun in the hands of the people. Although it is not something that can be sold casually, at least it can be talked about.
However, Gu Bei was still a little worried about selling it to foreign devils.
Nothing else, I feel bad.
But after Anger appeared in front of Gu Bei, Gu Bei suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Transform Hu into Buddha.
It is also called Laozi Huahu, which refers to the Taoist legend that Laozi left Hangu Pass in the west, went to the Western Regions (including Tianzhu) and transformed into the Buddha Sakyamuni, and taught the people of the Western Regions and Tianzhu.
There is also a corresponding legend in the one-person world, but the one in that legend is a very powerful stranger, so the credibility of the legend is much higher.
Although Gu Bei doesn't have Laozi's strength, he also wants to be "Laozi" this time.
If successful, it will not be as simple as turning Hu into a Buddha.
After all, the Secret Party is the largest force among hybrids in the world today. If you want to divide them, it may be a good idea to disintegrate them from within.
Just like Hua Yishuo's plan to deal with the five major families.
However, Hua Yishi's plan is to create a wedge between the five aristocratic families through strange magic.
Gu Bei's plan is to assimilate, so that the other party's people become our own, and everyone is a comrade. This method may be difficult for others to achieve, but in the hands of Gu Bei, who can manipulate souls, it is easy.
Moreover, I have never heard of hybrids having a way to defend their souls. Even the Dragon King, when faced with a soul attack, could only rely on his powerful soul quality to resist.
Gu Bei thought about it and felt that the possibility of the plan failing was extremely slim.
Now that the other party is begging to come to do business, there is no reason to refuse this business, which is guaranteed to make a profit.
Gu Bei squinted his eyes, placed his finger on the clay teacup, and lifted it with his fingertips. The tea was controlled and turned into a real water snake, winding and flying around Gu Bei's finger.
The little water snake was coiled around Gu Bei's finger. Gu Bei rubbed the cold "snake head" with one finger and said slowly: "Principal, let's open the skylight and speak openly. I know your purpose of coming this time, but you also know, Yishu is not my personal property, but belongs to all the members of NADTO and to the people of China. Even though I am the founder of NADTO, I am no longer the chairman of NADTO. Some It doesn’t matter what I said.”
If Ange hadn't conducted a detailed investigation of Gu Bei, Yishu, and the formation of Nadutong before coming, he might have been frightened by Gu Bei's words.
However, Gu Bei had researched the foreign technique from the very beginning, and the omnipotence was also established because of the foreign technique. It was the foreign technique that existed first, and the omnipotent one, not the omnipotent one.
This determines the affiliation. Although Nadutong is a joint venture, whether it is Yishu or Nadutong, they belong to Gu Bei in terms of ownership. In other words, Gu Bei has absolute control over the two.
As for the people of the country...
How many people in the country know the magic?
Gu Bei's words were pure farts.
Fortunately Angers is well-educated, otherwise someone else here would probably have cursed him.
Gu Bei's opening move was to retreat instead of advance. Although he seemed to be rejecting, he did not reject it completely. Instead, he left a little room for negotiation. There was a meaning behind his words.
Need to pay more.
Angers was a mature man, so it was natural that he could not understand what Gu Bei meant. However, he did not feel indignant because Gu Bei wanted to negotiate terms. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The lack of direct rejection and negotiating conditions meant that Gu Bei also had the intention to cooperate.
At least it's a good start.
Ange raised his head and glanced at Ding Fang, who Gu Bei had placed on the knife rest, and said calmly: "Fifty alchemy swords, you can choose from the ice cellar in Kassel."
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Ange's intelligence network was quite good. He knew so quickly that the Chen family had exchanged an alchemy sword for a different skill.
There may be a relationship between Hua Yishui sending people to spread information to fuel the flames, but the news can be obtained so quickly...
Are you afraid that there is a mole in the five major families?
Moreover, if you open your mouth, it will be fifty...
A bit cheaper.
This alchemical sword is not that alchemical sword.
If it were fifty ancient alchemical swords like Dingfang, it would be worth it, even a lot higher than Gu Bei's psychological price.
But as mentioned before, there are less than fifty such ancient alchemy knives in the world. No matter how powerful Kassel is and how long the secret party has inherited, it will not be able to produce so many ancient alchemy knives.
The alchemical sword Angers refers to is a new version of the alchemical sword imitated with modern technology.
Although the technology is the same, it is also made of precious metals and Philosopher's Stone, but the metals used in the new version of the alchemical sword are mostly high-tech synthetic metals. The Philosopher's Stone is also extracted from the souls of chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.
As for the metals of the alchemy ancient sword, in addition to the meteorite iron, it is the immortal dragon bone, and the philosopher's stone is also the standard human soul.
Which of the two is higher or lower can be known at a glance.
In terms of value, fifty new alchemy swords are almost equivalent to the Dingfang in Gu Bei's hands plus the genuine Murasame.
Although the imitation in Chu Zihang's hand was very close to the original, it was not enough.
This price was enough to buy a method for cultivating different arts. After all, it was more than what the Chen family had given, but it was still far from Gu Bei's expectations.
Gu Bei shook his finger, and the little water snake coiled on his finger also swayed and spat out a message.
Gu Beidao: "This price belongs to the Chen family, Principal Ange. After all, the secret party is not the Celestial Empire. It is in line with the national justice for me to sell it to the Chen family. I can sell it to you. Others will only say that I have forgotten my ancestors."
Seeing Gu Bei's "add a little more" look, Ange frowned and said, "Make a price."
"readily!"
Gu Bei smiled, waved his hand and pointed at the little snake, saying, "I have three conditions."
The expression on Ange's face remained unchanged.
"First, I can teach the magic to the students in Kassel, but I cannot let the secret party and the mixed-race family get it."
Ang hot nodded, he thought so too, although he still wanted Gu Bei to teach the people in the execution department, he didn't say anything.
When bargaining, at least wait until the other party has finished talking about the price.
Gu Bei raised another finger: "Second, Nadutong will establish a branch in Kassel. All students in Kassel who study foreign arts will nominally belong to the Nadutong branch."
Ange frowned, obviously he had a lot of opinions on this point, but he still listened patiently to what Gu Bei had to say.
"third……"
Gu Bei calculated and glanced at the Dingfang on the sword rest: "I don't want the fifty alchemy swords, but in exchange, I want to read all the alchemy-related documents and secret books in Kassel and the secret party. And you have to find me someone who is proficient in alchemy as an explanation and translator."
