Quadruple split

Game time PM23:30

Violet Empire, Royal Capital Salamun, Noble District

A burly, rough-looking orc woman appeared in front of Wujin Court and stopped. Although she was dressed plainly, her ordinary-looking features had a faint sense of nobility, which was in no way inconsistent with this neighborhood.

Many pedestrians passing by would subconsciously look back at this orc woman. After seeing this person, they all guessed her origins and secretly gossiped about whether she had moved here recently and which noble family she had moved to. A relative, well, with this honor, I guess he can only be a relative, there aren’t many other possibilities...

Different from the inaccessible Miyeting, Wujinting, located on the main road of the noble district, has a good location. The nearby environment is not much different if not as lively as Panshanting. In addition, the noble merchants who live here have more time to rest. It's late, so the Crown Avenue is still brightly lit and bustling with people. Unlike the old city where the magic crystal lamp was cut off half an hour ago, people in the Noble District will finish various activities around two o'clock. , and then sleep lazily until three o'clock in the morning, and will not get up reluctantly until the servant prepares the morning tea at noon.

In this game world where the average physical fitness of each person is far higher than reality, eight hours of sleep is not necessary. If mental state is not taken into consideration, four or five hours of sleep a day is enough for those who have broken through the intermediate threshold, and it will hardly affect to health.

Those who are qualified to live in the aristocratic area have a certain amount of strength. No matter how bad they are, they can drink those refreshing alchemy potions as water, so the pace of life is always extremely leisurely.

All in all, Crown Avenue is not much deserted at 11:30 at night than it is during the day.

【No chance to take action...】

Cassie, who was standing in an attic opposite Wujin Court with his hands behind his hands, shook his head, closed the curtains and continued to monitor the orc woman's every move through the gap. This was the house Futaba rented at a high price two days ago, and the view was very good. It is spacious but not the most vast, and the location is very inconspicuous but not the most hidden. Although there are many low-level warning spells inside, and the glass has been slightly tampered with, it is completely owned by some rich or powerful people.' Extras' standard features are arguably the best place to look.

Today is the day for the negotiation between Mo Tan and Grand Duke Dantès, so it is natural for Cassie to appear here, and according to Futaba's guess, the guy who is lobbying on behalf of the Marshall family is very likely to be here in the next two days. Come on, after all, no matter from which point of view, Archduke Fernand, whose position is the most unstable, can only be ranked last in terms of priority.

Cassie, who had been transferred here since last night, didn't relax at all all day long, and finally managed to catch the guy who ran away from under his nose!

But he couldn't do it. This place was no better than the inaccessible Silent Night Court. The pedestrians on Crown Avenue were too dense, and most of them had some background. There were not many bodyguards or guards in the crowd. Even if they were strong enough to be in the whole place, Cassie, whose Fire Claw leader ranked among the top ten, did not dare to take action rashly. Whether it was being recognized, accidentally injuring people eating melons, or causing a huge commotion, it might cause immeasurable consequences. This risk should not be taken.

Futaba also told him in advance that even if he really found the target near Wujinting, he should not take action easily. As long as he kept the target out of sight as much as possible when tracking him, he would wait until he left this avenue if he really had the chance.

So Cassie calmly watched the orc woman follow the guard into the courtyard, and then organized her outfit in an orderly manner. In addition to the standard equipment, there were three more poisonous daggers, a box of poison needles, Two chimneys and a Mage's Eye scroll.

He didn't believe that the other party could slip away from him so easily this time.

…

Wujin Court, main hall

The gray-haired Grand Duke Dantès frowned in displeasure. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to the orc woman standing not far in front of him in a lukewarm voice: "Madam, if I remember correctly, If so, my feedback to you should be at twelve o'clock tonight."

"I am deeply sorry for this. Dear Grand Duke Dantès, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but there is a reason..."

The latter bowed impeccably. If her appearance was not a bit round and simple, her posture could even be described as graceful.

Grand Duke Dantès had no intention of continuing the argument, he just raised his hand gently, and after the servants on both sides had removed the supper, he asked: "First tell me who you are, and then tell me Buffy's conditions. Finally, let’s talk about your so-called reasons for everything.”

"Daisy Hans, Lord Buffy Marshall's loyal servant in Salamoon."

The kind-faced, talkative human woman who died tragically in an 'unfortunate accident' flashed through her mind. Gawen smiled, casually commandeered the aunt's name, and then continued calmly: "Conditions It’s an industry with a total value of no more than two million gold coins, but that’s not important.”

Dantès raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Isn't that important?"

Although he has seen a lot of storms, he also does not understand the words of Daisy in front of him. After all, the essence of the Supreme Council's 'trial' is the exchange of interests, so no matter what he says, this person who claims to be a loyal servant of Marshall should pay attention to the key points. Put it on the conditions, then raise the price yourself, and the other party will pay you back, then raise the price again, and the other party will pay you back again, until one of the parties compromises or gives up.

Once the deal is settled, vote to wait and see, get the benefits, and then wipe the mess of the party who paid the price.

If the negotiation is not settled, you can vote however you want. Although there is no benefit, there is no need to help the other party clean up the mess.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the family that is found guilty will choose to talk to each of the other seven families, and then finalize four of them for interest exchange based on the preliminary results.

Of course, the details are more complicated, but that's the general picture.

It is precisely because of this that Grand Duke Dantès feels strange. After all, the initiator, Fire Claw, has a very firm stance, and the attitudes of the Crystal Wolf family and the Baroka family also appear to be more subtle. Even if they do not reject it directly, it is estimated that the lion will inevitably Therefore, except for the Hussein family, which has been on a united front with the Marshall family for a long time, whether it is the Dantes, Fernand or Simon family, this Daisy in front of her should try her best to fight for it, but she said 'No' These three words "important" are really thought-provoking.

"Yes, it's not important."

Jia Wen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "So I'd better tell His Excellency the reason why I bothered you in advance."

Dantès stroked his gray stubble: "Go ahead."

"First of all, if I guess correctly, His Excellency the Grand Duke should have made an appointment with another lobbyist today."

The corner of Jiawen's mouth curled up in a playful arc, and she laughed in a deep voice that was far different from her own pronunciation: "If I hadn't come in advance, I would have inevitably bumped into him then."

The old nobleman raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason?"

"There are so many reasons, really too many."

Gawen's tone was unusually calm, and she said without any time to think: "It's just some trivial questions, such as the time you gave your reply or the two inconsistent chairs in the main hall, etc., of course, the most important thing This is the current opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can make you open your mouth. For example, let me and another person who intends to sanction the Marshall family and attempt to subvert traditions and rules sit down and have a chat..."

She didn't tell her everything, because there was no reason for the other party not to think of her plans. If she said too much, it would be too aggressive. That's not how business is negotiated.

Grand Duke Dantès chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it. He just stood up leaning on his luxurious cane: "Just in time, before that friend arrives, I can tell you first, it's worth two million gold coins. The property is not enough to impress the Dantes family.”

Now that he had been convinced of his idea, he simply spoke up.

But Gawen did not answer directly, but said out of nowhere: "Four."

"Um?"

Grand Duke Dantès did not react for a moment, and asked curiously: "What four?"

"Fire Claw, Crystal Wolf, Baroka, Simon."

Gawen's tone was indifferent, as if she had completely forgotten her position and smiled: "No more, no less, just four sanctions votes."

Dantès trembled, then slowly sat back on the chair. After being silent for a while, he said, "Then what other reason do you have for coming here?"

The implication is very simple, except for the Marshall family itself, which has no voting rights, and the flower on the mountain, which holds two votes that are always plus or minus zero... cough, the Violet family, when four of the remaining seven votes have already resulted in sanctions, the Marshall Even if the family wins over all the Dantes, Fernand, and Hussein families, there is no point in it. It would be better to just wait for death.

"Now that I'm here, it proves that Grand Duke Buffy has not given up, and things may not be turning around."

Jia Wen looked directly into the other person's eyes and slowly smiled: "But if you make the wrong choice, then I'm afraid this matter will never turn around. That's why I avoided making an appointment with you. Time, the reason for coming to visit in advance, sometimes it is better not to get into trouble, and the same goes for the Marshall family, and the same goes for the Dantès family."

Grand Duke Dantès looked solemn, then tapped his cane gently, and said in a deep voice: "A choice is just a choice, there is no right or wrong. Buffy may have made a bad decision, Ms. Daisy, your attitude makes me sad." I was unhappy."

Gawen was not at all intimidated by the powerful grand duke in front of the empire, and just said calmly: "Compared to those worse results, I think mere unpleasantness is not something that is difficult to accept, respected lord duke. "

Grand Duke Dantès shook his head and sighed: "I'll give you two minutes to explain."

"No, actually I have finished what I said."

Jia Wen shook his head, then bowed slightly and said: "But in order to thank you for your generosity, I hope to give you a piece of advice at the end..."

"advice?"

Grand Duke Dantès was a little dumbfounded. He had already made up his mind to go to Mercury Court to see Grand Duke Marshall in person tomorrow, so he said casually: "It's up to you."

"Dantes's loyalty to the Violet...that is, the Bresne family is touching."

Gawen looked up with emotion at the Dantes family emblem hanging high in the center of the wall, and asked meaningfully: "Although there is only one Violet family, there is not only one Blaisen."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Grand Duke Dantès to react. She stopped briefly at the door of the main hall and said without looking back: "If you have figured it out, I will come again. "

[The position of the four companies is sanctions...]

[Things may not turn around...]

[There is only one Violet family...]

[But Bresne is not the only one...]

Grand Duke Dantès looked uncertain, and the right hand holding the cane was slightly white.

…

[Your spiritual connection has been detected and personal information is being synchronized...]

[Connection completed, reading character information]

[Welcome back, chaotic neutral Tan Mo, will soon enter the realm of innocence, wish you good night]

Game time PM23:49

Noble District, dark alley next to Wujin Court, six minutes after Jiawen left

"Oh, I wasted a lot of time because of boring things."

Mo Tan, who appeared in the shadows, curled his lips in disgust, turned out of the alley and walked towards Wujin Court not far away, whispering with a half-smile: "It's only ten minutes early, that guy should have arrived... …”

He stretched, came to the front of Wujin Court and gave an eight-toothed smile to one of the guards: "Hello, this little brother, I am Anthony Dabb, who has made an appointment with Grand Dantès for a late-night meeting. Si, would you like some midnight snacks?"

Mo Tan casually took out half a cool roasted crow and handed it over.

"No... no need, please wait a moment, I will inform the Duke."

The guard brother was frightened and quickly turned around and ran towards the main hall at the end of the courtyard.

"Tsk, tsk, poor kid with no luck..."

Mo Tanchong winked at the crow head in his hand, as if he felt very unworthy of the other party: "You are obviously so delicious."

A minute passed...

Two minutes have passed...

Five minutes have passed...

Seeing the guard trotting over, Mo Tan threw away half of the crow stand in his hand and asked with a half-smile: "What did the Duke say?"

"The Duke said..."

The guard took a deep breath and said solemnly: "No."

"Very good, thank you."

…

two minutes later

Crown Avenue, a surveillance loft rented by Futaba with a large sum of money

Mo Tan, who entered with a spare key, pushed open the door and looked around with squinted eyes. He concluded that the beast elf was not sneaking around to scare him, but was indeed not here.

[It seems that guy is one step ahead of me again this time. Although I don’t know whether Dantès figured it out or was deceived. Anyway, the chance here is slim. If that’s the case...]

"Cassie is not here, which means he is tracking the suspected player's friend. It is not yet twelve o'clock, which is when the nightlife has just begun~"

Mo Tan grinned and left the attic leisurely.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high. Why don't we go visit the Grand Duke of the Mediterranean and have a chat with him."
