Chapter 136 Humble Xiao Yun
Chapter 136 Humble Xiao Yun
Sean is a human being, so he is very clear why these alien races in the Northern Continent have such a high opinion of the Lich King... For enemies who are not a threat to themselves, the strong are always willing to show their strength with a tolerant attitude.
If Melville J. Bancroft was still alive - as a necromancer who successfully transformed himself into a lich, his lifespan is close to that of dragons - then the powerful may pay a polite respect on the surface , there is nothing good to say in private...
Of course, even though he knows this, Sean will not be dissatisfied with it. After all, compared to these alien races, the attitude of J's compatriots and humans in the southern continent towards him is chilling: absorbing from the huge corpse of the old empire. Countless human nations of flesh and blood will never admit that they participated in a feast of blood. The source of the destruction and dismemberment of the old empire must fall on 'J'; in the southern continent, J's name is not even allowed to be mentioned... All royal families are hostile to words.
Sean spurned this shameless "consensus" in the human world, but he has no ability to change anything - when everyone is lying, the only person who tells the truth will be stoned by others.The legendary magician "End of Illusion" may be very strong, but it is not strong enough to oppose all the royal families in the entire human world.
Sean chose to come to the cursed land to wait for death when his time was running out. It was just his small protest against the fact that J's posthumous name was not given a fair evaluation... that's all he can do .
At this moment, Xiao En was frightened by his assumption and broke out in a cold sweat. His heart felt as if it was squeezed by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe: "The Lich's phylactery has not been destroyed. Then he can be resurrected infinitely, what 'J' buried himself was his human skeleton... Could it be... Could it be said that 'J' was so desperate that he had no nostalgia for human beings? He parasitized the snow werewolves—he chose Snow wolf tribe?!"
"The only human demigod in Bloomfield Continent chose the Snow Wolf Clan!"
Primo was taken aback by Sean's sudden change of expression, and quickly put down his notes and got up to help him: "Are you all right? Old man?"
Sean didn't hear Primo's voice, and the huge, mental pain made him tremble and sweat profusely... He couldn't accept that the conclusion he drew would be true, even if the conclusion was just that he had no basis The speculation also made him extremely uncomfortable - the end of 'J' is the heart knot of all human spellcasters. If J gives up the human race, then many human spellcasters will have their faith collapsed.
"This is impossible..." Primo heard his old friend talking to himself with a pale face and trembling lips, his voice was as light as a dream, "This is absolutely impossible... absolutely impossible... ..."
Primo sighed, raised his left hand, and slashed at the back of Sean's neck; Sean rolled his eyes and fell down without a sound.
Helping his old friend to sit on the sofa, Primo looked dignified, and turned his gaze to the direction Sean was staring at before - turning mental power into a field is the basic skill of a third-level magician, and legendary magicians above the fourth level have His spiritual field is more reliable than any defensive props; what exactly did Sean hear that made his state of mind collapse and he couldn't even maintain his spiritual field?
Primo, who holds the title of "God of War", is not a warrior, but a walker, the only legendary walker who has snatched the title of God of War from a warrior because of his proficiency in frontal fighting, and no warrior of any family has been able to Take this title away from Primo: Of course, apart from being good at fighting, Primo Walker has not let go of his skills. He took off his bloated home coat, fastened the button on his chest, and then pulled down the sleeves to cover it. Wrist; opened the door and walked out of the room, when both of his feet stepped out of the door, his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the air without a sound.
"Find out the assassin on the boat and kill them? What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yun rolled his eyes at Tim with a look of disgust, "Think more with your knees, don't just sit there and eat For nothing, can an assassin acting alone get on board the fleet that Carlisle regards as his eyes, and you have been watching personally? Without someone with a certain identity to respond, the assassin can get on the ship? Even if he is on the ship, how can he get on the ship? Hiding in the closed space on the ship for more than a month?"
"Uh..." Tim couldn't help but think of what happened to Anthony, and sighed, "So, indeed, some nobleman betrayed Carlisle."
"Don't say the word "betrayal" so often, it makes people look stupid." Xiao Yun said with even more disgust, "Loyalty is just a rhetoric used by the superiors to brainwash the inferiors. It's okay to talk about it, but you don't need to really believe it. If there is loyalty, it is not a certain person who is dealing with it; it is either for a certain belief or for self-interest. The so-called betrayal can only be betrayed by these two. Whoever betrayed so-and-so, cut, naive Childish, children are playing house!"
The boss calls the employees a hundred times loyal and dedicated to the company. It is better to actually increase the wages of the employees to achieve the goal...It is stupid to brainwash others but to wash yourself into a disability. !
"..." Tim's brow was sweating, Mr. Ayun is good at everything, but this kind of directness without any respect is really hard for people to get used to.
"After Anthony left the field, Carlisle was too overconfident. He controlled the country for nothing for a few months, and he didn't say that he had a firm grip on St. Bridge's army, which made him so disgraced right now." Xiao Yun didn't bother to control Tim's adaptation. Uncomfortable, sharply, "The old king regards the young and strong prince as a political opponent, but Carlisle can't turn this corner. This matter, you can only handle it and help Carlisle - there is no need Looking for an assassin on a boat, after all, the assassin is a knife in someone else's hand, if you have the heart to compete with the knife, it is better to cut off the hand holding the knife, this is once and for all."
"Teacher Ayun, please teach us how to do it." Tim lifted his spirits, and after being sprayed for a long time, he finally got to the meat of the show.
"There are nobles on the ship who are hedging their bets and helping the old king bring the assassin up. The king's arm holding the knife must have relevant traces hidden somewhere on the ship. What you have to do is to find these 'evidences' and destroy them in front of everyone."
"Huh?!" Tim and Darren's eyeballs almost popped out.
Xiao Yun said indifferently: "Don't always think about fighting and killing. Those who can follow the ship are nobles who have at least apparently joined Carlisle and have made certain contributions to the fleet; The rampant inspections here are already enough to make some people dissatisfied, but with some 'evidence' they are going to target a certain person and shout and kill their kind, is this going to force them to turn their backs?"
"Find the evidence but don't search it down, but destroy it in front of everyone. Use this attitude to tell the hedger that you hope the matter ends here-the condition for the assassination to be successful is that the target is not Fortification, as long as the opponent is not so stupid that there is no cure, he will deal with the assassin himself."
Tim was thoughtful, while Darren was a little reluctant. Obviously, this approach was not acceptable to him.
Xiao Yun smiled, and said to Darren: "You don't think this is straightforward enough, and I am too. But how can you always do things as you want? Anyway, Carlisle has not become king yet, and he still needs more holy cloth Rich's nobles support him, so neither he nor you who follow him can directly and brutally kill the nobles who have defected to us... To kill a noble, it is not the only way to do it with real swords and guns."
Darren reluctantly nodded to show that he could understand, and Tim, who heard more things, was stunned for a few seconds and then terrified... How did he hear Teacher Ayun mean that after Carlisle became king, he could settle the matter without scruple? !
Xiao Yun gave Tim a look that he understood, and there was no need to say such words clearly.
Which of the emperors of the feudal dynasty in China who killed the hero was not after the country was stabilized?Learn!
The more unstable the team is, the more important it is to stabilize people's hearts. That's what Boss Cao does~
In the initial stages of business start-ups and new departmental teams, the bosses and management are always very tolerant of employees. To put it bluntly, that’s what happened—they are still grass-roots teams.
Tim didn't want to wait for someone to assassinate him every day on the return trip, and he was relieved to find a solution to the problem from Xiao Yun; while Carlisle was not around, no one would take Teacher Ayun's time with him, so he took the opportunity to continue to ask for advice from the backlog. The question on his mind...
In the corridor, Primo, who was squatting in the corner by the door and eavesdropping, looked horrified.
Primo and Sean have been friends for decades... At the beginning, it was a year-end friendship. Sean was over a hundred when Primo was young. After so many years, Primo is very clear about Sean's thinking habits, and even Primo, the code name "J" that is only circulated among spellcasters, has learned the details from Sean.
"No wonder Sean reacted so strongly..." Quietly got up and left, and walked through the rest area, Primo wiped his sweat with his hands, "This cub of the snow wolf clan——is too suspicious!"
Turning his head and looking at the quiet corridor behind, Primo's expression was a bit complicated; he was not a spellcaster, and he didn't have the fanatical beliefs of Sean, but he was also a human being... the only demigod that had appeared in the human race for thousands of years, if he abandoned It's too worrying for humans.
Xiao Yun, who knew nothing, did not mislead the consciousness of two legendary human beings with his nonsense, and immediately got busy contacting the sea clan after he settled his disciples' worries... Whether it was fishing for natural seafood or doing seawater Breeding, there is no more suitable partner in this world than the Sea Race.
And it's more reliable to cooperate with the Sea Clan than with the Elf Clan... because the girls are not only not a whole, but also scattered.
Among all races, the population of the Sea Clan is second only to humans in terms of population—all the shallow waters and untenable beaches are the places where the Sea Clan thrives. There is no shortage of food sources and no natural enemies. That's called a leisurely one.
And it is precisely because life is easy that this sea clan, whose population is second only to human beings, is quite salty...N sea kingdoms, N sea queens, and a large number of sea clan nobles have been established according to regions. Fighting wars, not attacking, indulging in art inheritance and art creation, from time to time there are some sea people like princesses and aristocrats with big names who come ashore to become singers...
Of course, although the sea people are salty fish, they are not easy to please.In Xiao Yun's understanding, this race is a bit like those maverick celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They deal with you if they think highly of you. There were not many escorts, and Carlisle also borrowed the gimmick of the forest elves' artwork to barely establish a relationship with the Sea Clan.
Regarding this, Xiao Yun said that he has no pressure at all... Isn't it easy to please Wen Qing?Ass flattering is enough!
He, Totim, handed over a story manuscript written by Evelyn to the young master of the Winston family. That night, this sea tribe with a blue film in his ears and a strangely shaped nose was still quite handsome. The noble young master sat in his living room.
Well, it was indeed in the living room of his room, and General Kleist was also resting in the room at night, Xiao Yun was not thick-skinned enough to insist on using someone else's living room when the master was at home.
Young Master Winston, who was dressed similarly to a human nobleman, really gave off a very gentle impression. He was the kind of group that Xiao Yun was least willing to deal with when he was on Earth—you tell him the truth, and he tells you his feelings. It's unrealistic written down to the root of a hair, and Xiao Yun's extreme pragmatism is simply a natural enemy. Except for work needs, Xiao Yun will never have any communication with this kind of person.
And now is the time when it is necessary... There is no room for pretense in matters of work, especially dealing with people.Holding his nose, he accompanied this Hai Clan Wenqing for a long time, blowing about the romantic imagination of the Snow Wolf Clan towards the Sea Clan, and emphasizing the respect and longing of the Snow Wolf Clan for the Sea Clan around the specially beautified story of "The Daughter of the Sea". After photographing the other party so that he felt comfortable physically and mentally, he turned to the main topic and talked about the cooperation with MSG.
"Grow in low-temperature sea areas, long cylindrical, without burrs, light yellow or flesh-colored... You mean, sea earthworms?" Hearing Xiao Yun's description, Master Winston showed a strange expression.
"Uh..." Xiao Yun also understood that the two worlds would have different naming habits, so he asked after thinking for a while, "Is the sea worm you're talking about fat and delicious...?"
Master Winston’s face was very indescribable, as if he disliked Xiao Yun’s vulgar words and he was not comfortable speaking directly, so he said tactfully: “There are no sea earthworms in our sea tribe’s recipes. As for the umami that Mr. Ayun said The source, we sea people eat kelp."
Xiao Yun was still very persistent: "Then this sea worm is about this long, very fat, and wriggles like a caterpillar when it drills in the sand..."
Master Winston's face has changed... If the snow werewolf in front of him is Ayun from the snow wolf tribe who wrote "The Travels of the Gourmet Hunter", and wrote "The Daughter of the Sea" full of friendship with the sea tribe, Wins Master Dun might have already walked away—he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes, as you described, sea earthworms are the same as the 'single-ringed thorns and sea intestines' you mentioned. This kind of creature should be due to the difference in naming habits between our Sea Clan and the Snow Wolf Clan."
This young master obviously had patience to a certain extent, and he could no longer squeeze others' acceptance. Xiao Yun immediately adjusted his strategy and focused his cooperation on kelp - the oldest sea sausage with monosodium glutamate became Shandong cuisine in the Song Dynasty. In the MSG business, sea sausage must be a superior raw material than kelp; in modern times, sea sausage was overfished, coupled with the development of science and technology, the main ingredient of MSG was transferred to high-starch crops.
Food must not be wasted, Xiao Yun is not even willing to make wine, let alone make monosodium glutamate, so kelp is the only choice.
Sea people have the habit of eating kelp, and they also have the technology of cultivating kelp in low-temperature seawater, but they never thought that they could make kelp into spices and sell it; After explaining the principles and the general process, Master Winston's face became more and more relaxed, and he nodded in response to the matter, and then brought the topic to literary and artistic creation-this is Wenqing's biggest problem!Do the business by the way, the irrelevant things are full of interest!
Xiao Yun felt so bad, he had to show a very positive and interested attitude to talk to the other party...
There is no willfulness in the world of adults. For professionals, no matter whether you are autistic, introverted or arrogant, you have to adapt and learn to be good at dealing with all kinds of people; It must be saved and won't do anything~!A rich network of interpersonal relationships can save salted fish with low business ability, this principle applies everywhere~!
Just like the humble Xiao Yun who is crazily flattering Master Winston and scratching the itches of Master Wen Qing at this moment... In order to gain Master Winston's friendship, he is forcing himself to become Wen Qing.
In the room on the west corridor, Sean and Primo sat facing each other.
"...How?" Primo asked nervously.
Sean's expression was quite...unspeakable, and the corner of his mouth was pulled: "I can be sure that he is definitely not 'J'."
"How to say?" Primo was surprised.
Sean let out a long breath, and pressed the veins on his forehead that couldn't go away: "Demigod, no, no legendary powerhouse can do such a shameless thing—I can hardly hear his praise of the nobles of the Sea Clan." Don't go down! He is Carlisle's teacher after all, as the prince's teacher, he behaved in such a disgraceful manner, what was he thinking?!"
"..." Primo's mouth twitched, "Well, I don't think the legendary Lich King is the kind of person you described... Isn't he even trying to please the dark elves? No surprise."
Xiao En slowed down for a while, suppressed his anger, and pulled away the emotions caused by misunderstandings. This legendary magician can give Xiao Yun a fair evaluation: "Don't mention the misunderstandings we thought we thought, and treat this Ayun as ordinary Xue Yun. If a werewolf came to see him, what he did was not really that unbearable, on the contrary, it was quite amazing. Master Winston is ten times his age, but he sounds like the one who is less sensible... Although I don't agree with this kind of shameless flattery, but I must admit that he did use the most effective method to win the favor of the nobles of the Sea Clan in the shortest possible time."
Seeing Primo's disapproval, Sean added another sentence: "If this cub's status in the Snow Wolf Clan remains the same, 30 years, no, maybe shorter... 20 years later, the Snow Wolf Clan It will definitely occupy a place in the Northern Continent."
"Really?" Primo was startled.
"You know his seemingly innate political sense and sophistication, which are surprising enough for a person of this age. What is even more surprising is that he is not proud of his talents and is recognized Pride is limited... Do you think the sage Xavier will do anything to please others in order to achieve his goals?"
"How is it possible?" Primo replied immediately.
"That's right, he is also the teacher of Prince Carlisle, but Ayun, who should be young and energetic, can bend down... Not only that, he also knows very well what methods to use to please the other party, and rigorously Execution." Sean shook his head sighing, "The dog barking at you, and the wolf looking at you calmly, trying to figure out how to bite your neck more quickly, the latter is the most fearful."
"I admit that this snow werewolf is very special, but it really surprises me that he can be praised so much by you." Primo couldn't help laughing, "Old man, I'm a little curious about him because of what you said."
"To tell you the truth, I have already begun to regret why I didn't get in touch with this young man from the Snow Wolf Tribe at the reception last year." Sean smiled wryly, "Compared to this young man from the Snow Wolf Tribe, I have become a The one where prejudice and arrogance limit."
Xiao Yun, who was still ignorant, seemed extremely exhausted after seeing off Master Winston who left contentedly—forcing Wen Qing to be a normal person, Wen Qing would cry out in grief and indignation that he should be killed but not humiliated; A normal person being a literary youth... Uh, I can still do it with a little bit of force, but I am tired ┓(;_`)┏.
All right, men should be tougher on themselves.
The cooperation with the Sea Clan is to borrow the port of the forest elves. Xiao Yun has already made plans for this. He just took this opportunity to deepen his relationship with Kleist and get acquainted with him. Some words will be easier to say... It's a big taboo, I just got acquainted, Xiao Yun came to the door to tell the elf general, let's help you fight the elders of the airborne faction, it's no wonder that Kleist didn't treat him as a fool.
On the other hand... Xiao Yun touched his chin and thought, it's time to pull some humans into his bowl.
The processing of kelp into monosodium glutamate needs to be carried out on the west coast, but the tribal people can't afford to spread it everywhere, so the employment model can be considered-the human kingdom has no shortage of people, and the southern continent across the inland sea has plenty of cheap labor.
Originally, life on the grassland was difficult and dangerous, and the tribe was cautious about raising Thrall, so it was impossible to recruit workers from the human kingdom.The situation is different now. The forest elf port is a natural fortress, and adventurers are diligently cleaning up the surrounding monsters. Except for the months of heavy snow and freezing, a group of humans are hired to come to the west coast for MSG processing. Still reliable~
"Hmm... St. Bridge is too far away. To recruit and transport people, you have to borrow the fleet of the Adventurer's Association." Xiao Yun nodded approvingly, "Let's find a chance to contact the Adventurer's Association."
