163.Next, Murphy will show you what a lion’s big mouth is (page 1/2)
“What the hell is your name? I have been single since I was born! You Transian barbarian, show some respect to me.！”
Shani has always been unfazed since her debut. She was not timid in the face of Tris, an old veteran in the vampire world. She showed her general style when negotiating with the Lord of Transia. She was only a little broken by Murphy's "Mrs. Shani" Defend.
The main reason is that she doesn't understand the peculiar aesthetics of young players, and feels that Murphy is mocking her like an incompetent housewife..
Actually it's not.
“I apologize for my disrespectful name.”
Murphy smiled gently, stood half behind Tris, and said softly：
“But the fact is as my Grand Duke and I just said, all negotiations on Transian territory are unacceptable! Is my answer clear enough? And if you're not ready to leave just yet, relax and listen to what I'm about to offer？”
“Of course, that's how negotiations are, you come and go..”
Mrs. Shani showed an interesting expression, sat on the chair in an extremely dignified manner and raised her wine glass to Murphy. Meanwhile, Tris next to her imitated Murphy's usual posture and raised her chin with her fingers interlaced. His face showed an expression of "watching a good show".
This gesture made Shani feel uneasy.
But Murphy has already spoken.
“First of all, the Kingdom of Nordtof wants to release the armed blood servants in your hands. I don’t care if they rioted or other hellish situations under the supervision of the Winter Wolf Legion! You took 6,000 people from Transia, and you have to give back 6,000 people..
No one should be missing！
Secondly, the Kingdom of Nordtov must provide sufficient firearms and ammunition for the formal army that will be formed in the Transia region to deal with the threat of the Black Disaster..
We would be more welcome if artillery is provided..
Finally, until the black disaster subsides, the Crimean Fortress cannot interrupt the food supply agreement with Transia for any reason..
We don't take what you have in vain.
We will pay the bill in gold, and if we cannot come up with the money, the part of the mining area in southern Transia that is used as collateral will be enough to compensate you for your losses..
In addition, as far as I am concerned, I have a small request to report to Her Majesty the Wolf Lady.’.
I hope Her Majesty the Wolf Lady can issue an official edict and canonize me as the 'Governor of Transia', taking full responsibility for all affairs in the entire Transia region.！”
Murphy spread his hands and said eloquently under Shani's strange gaze.：
“When the Confederation of Portia was formed after the First Black Disaster, it was unanimously recognized by all the major human forces at the time. Therefore, I feel that an official edict from a queen can better strengthen my claims in the Transia region..
Even though I don't actually need it.
As for what you can get from this deal?？
First of all, before we are packed up and eaten by the gnolls, I can make sure that no gnoll will enter your territory. You can sit in the gorgeous palace of Borei Castle and regard the tragic battles on the land of Transia as A short story from afar.
Use this as a backup topic for ladies’ afternoon tea gatherings.
Secondly, I promise you and Her Majesty the Wolf Lady behind you that Transia will never fall to the Plantagenet Kingdom..
We will do our best to maintain neutrality and fulfill our responsibilities as a military buffer zone between the two kingdoms until both of you have digested the benefits of this war and are ready for the next big fight to compete for the position of continental hegemon. Decide which side to join.”
“Are you finished?？”
Mrs. Shani shrugged and asked.
Murphy nodded and looked at her with a smile..
The latter took a sip of wine in a decent manner, then breathed a sigh of relief and said：
“Do you think I'm a fool? Murphy, what qualifications do you have to ask such outrageous conditions in front of me now, and are you still expecting me to agree to it? I admit that the recognition of Lord Paying is indeed a big pressure on the vampires..
But this recognition is based on your ability to make sufficient contributions to resisting the black disaster. I don’t think you can fulfill the Lord’s expectations with your current situation..
As for the pressure you mentioned from the Plantagenet Kingdom?
Well, Nordtov will not enter into a more intense confrontation with the Plantagenet Kingdom for the useless land of Transia, but I think that if it is just to abolish a lord who does not know the general situation, King Louis will not So go to war.
So, use your words to say something back to you.！
If you want to negotiate, show some sincerity..
If you don't want to, then shut up..”
“Little Murphy, your conditions are indeed outrageous. I think they are too much..”
Tris also spoke at this time.：
“Show some sincerity, otherwise your Aunt Shani will be really angry..”
“You two did it on purpose, right?？”
Mrs. Shani narrowed her eyes and said coldly：
“Tris, I respect you as an ancient, but don’t push yourself too far! Is a woman’s age a subject that can be casually ridiculed? What's more, on this occasion. You two are truly the most unreliable vampire leaders I have ever seen..
Even the blood-feared little clan leader Pablo, who is hiding in the Sea of Mist and working as a pirate, is more stable than you..”
“I'm anxious. Someone in this room is anxious, but I won't say who it is. I admit that Tris and I are 'atypical vampires'. However, for people of our status, it is too unseemly to engage in personal attacks. Got it.”
Murphy snorted..
This time he solemnly took out a small notebook from his psychic bag, opened a few pages, glanced at Shani, coughed, and said：
“Then let me change the conditions. The territorial issue still cannot be discussed. This is the bottom line..
But in addition to the above three items, the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Nordtov will lend a sum of money to the Governor-General of Transia to purchase military supplies needed to resist the Black Disaster from the factories in the Kingdom of Nordtov..
Our captured armed blood servants can also be exchanged through 'redemption'.
This money will be returned to the Kingdom of Nordtov year by year for the next ten years. If interest is to be added, it cannot be higher than the median official commercial loan in your country..”
“？”
If Shani was just angry when she heard Murphy's conditions just now, now she is completely stupid.
It is no exaggeration to say that Murphy's conditions are somewhat beyond the understanding of Grand Duke Shani, and he has even begun to violently attack her worldview as a vampire..
After several seconds, Shani stood up in shock, pointed at Murphy and said：
“You mean, we lend you money! So that you can come and buy our stuff? Are you going to give me an interest rate that is low enough to make those vampires from the Ministry of Finance come to my door with knives and challenge me to a duel? Then you call this a 'concession'’？
Grand Duke Trish！
Why don't you hurry up and take care of your servants?？
He is obviously suffering from some kind of mental illness and it is hopeless..”
“Ummmm”
Grand Duke Tris rolled her eyes and said：
“I admit that what you said makes some sense, but I choose to believe little Murphy. He must have his reasons for daring to say this. So, Murphy, why don’t you explain this to two old aunts who can’t keep up with the changes of the times? principle？”
“If you attack her age like this again, she will really get angry. Mrs. Shani seems to care about this..”
Murphy complained softly, and then explained seriously：
“If this comes true, then the Nordtov Kingdom will become Transia's creditor. In this world, only those who owe money are always afraid of creditors. How can any creditor be wary of those who owe money? I heard from the governor under my command that Her Majesty the Wolf Lady is also promoting reforms in the Kingdom of Nordtov. The military reforms have achieved results, but the domestic business and political reforms are struggling..
The reformists who support Wolf Girl cannot expand and can only encourage themselves with loyalty. This is when they need foreign orders..
Think about it, Grand Duchess Shani！
The amount of military supplies and logistical supplies Transia needs to fight against the Black Disaster is astronomical. This is the front line of the fight against the Black Disaster. How many arsenals of yours can our orders be enough to support? How many jobs will it create for you? Help you feed how many more free people are freed from the shackles of the land？
The reformists who support Her Majesty the Wolf Lady will not only gain status, but now they can also gain real benefits.！
They will become more motivated, because money has always been a trick of the devil to deceive people! The sound of gold coins is so beautiful that it can make the most stubborn old landowner willingly hand over his property if he can see that there is a profit！
