(Thanks to the second reward of Maphore and the monthly ticket support of libz09 and lmxy!)

At noon, a team gradually came to the tree-shaded avenue opened by Salland Manor.

The team had only more than 30 people, and most of these more than 30 people were guards with cold expressions on the war horses. The most eye-catching one was the two people in the lead.

"Eckhart, I'm sorry for you this time."

One of the leaders was a thin man who seemed weak and could not help but feel weak. His deep wrinkles on his eyebrows and forehead, and his grayish sideburns and hair color made him look a little old. In fact, his real age was only thirty years old, and his premature appearance was quite strange.

His name is Segreg, a staff member under Viscount Morrown, who is specialized in diplomatic affairs.

He was a very capable person. During the seven or eight years he followed Viscount Morron, he spent most of the year communicating with different noble lords in different places. It was precisely because of his eloquent eloquence and judging the current situation, Chen Ming was interested in many noble lords around Querofi who looked around and were vigilant. Viscount Morron was able to secretly expand to its current strong power over the years. It can even be said that Viscount Morron can have the assistance of Segreg today!

His physique was a little weak, and his years of hard work and mentally exhausted diplomatic game seriously overdrawn his life potential, which resulted in his appearance. Viscount Moroen attaches great importance to Segreg, and even he asks the high-level priests of the Radiant Church to treat his weak body. Unfortunately, the high-level priests cannot solve the problem of overdrawing their life potential. He told Viscount Moroen that if Segreg continues his previous heavy work, he will die suddenly within three years. If he keeps recuperating slowly, he can guarantee Segreg's lifespan of ten years or even longer.

So, since last year, Viscount Morroen has left Segreg in Querofi to rest with peace of mind.

After Eckhart returned to Via Castle to inform Sallan Manor about what happened, Viscount Morroen made a quick decision to send Sallan Manor to negotiate with Sallan. As for Eckhart, he took the initiative to ask to go with him, because he protected Sallan's safety.

Although Eckhart is old-fashioned, he respects talented people very much. Although Segreg is an ordinary person, the light he shines in his diplomatic wisdom is enough to deeply respect him. He does not like such people to die for no reason. This world always needs some people to embellish the glory.

Segreg has many enemies, and he has encountered assassination times of no less than ten times. Because of the fraud and deception in diplomatic games, many noble lords around Querofi suffered heavy losses, so they unanimously pointed their finger at Segreg. Since they could not deal with Viscount Morrown behind Segreg, could they still solve a small staff member?

Segreg was very calm about this. He knew that his life span was not long. Death was too early and late, and what else would be fear and fear for those who saw through death?

"You don't need to be polite. This is my duty." Facing Segreg's humble manner, Eckhart replied very calmly.

"His Excellency Eckhart, although I have read a lot of information about Drank Xialan before, I want to know your opinion of him. After all, you are the one who really communicates with him here." Segreg said directly without extra politeness.

"Drank Xialan? In my eyes, he is a dead man, a dead man who is alive." Eckhart thought for a moment.

"Dead?" Segreg frowned and puzzled. There were many meanings of dead people, and he didn't know what Eckhart meant.

"He has lost his qualifications as a human being, so I call him the dead." Eckhart said: "If nothing is true, he is a very good swordsman, courageous, determined, rational, and cruel... He has all the qualities of a real warrior, but unfortunately, he is dead."

"I'm confused, I still don't understand what you mean." Segreg said apologetically.

"Simply put, you can't treat him as a normal person." Eckhart said: "When you really see him, you will understand what I mean."

"I see."

When you don’t really understand some things, it’s often difficult to understand what they mean.

Observing their words and observing their actions is a necessary knowledge for every diplomat. Only in this way can they figure out the other party's psychology and achieve their goals through words.

When the team arrived at Salland Manor, Segreg finally saw what Eckhart said about "dead people".

He stood indifferently in front of the open manor gate, as if he had known that they would come.

Segreg noticed his deep eyes observing them without a trace, and then turned around and walked into the manor without saying a word.

Eckhart signaled the team to stop, ordered the escorts to guard the outside of the manor, and then he followed Xia Lan's back as he walked into the manor with Segreg.

"Now do you understand what I just said?"

Walking on the flat road paved with stone slabs, Eckhart walked towards the front without looking squinting.

"It's a little clearer." Segreg suddenly felt something when he thought of the dead silence in the other person's eyes.

The eyes are the window of the soul. There is no better way to observe a person than to observe his eyes. The eyes cannot cover a person's nature. Different changes in the eyes can make you understand his different states of mind and thoughts.

What if a person's eyes are completely dead?

The result is self-evident.

His heart is dead. Objectively speaking, a person who has died is indeed a "dead person".

The reception hall in the manor still retains the traces of fighting in the middle of the night. No one cleaned up the messy ground. Xia Lan simply placed a few intact tables and chairs and ignored them.

Segreg and Eckhart each chose a chair to sit down, but the current owner of the manor didn't know where they went, so Segreg began to observe the surroundings in a habit.

"It really was a fierce battle at night."

Looking around carefully, Segreg sighed softly.

"That's right, and his opponent is a High Ring Mage!" Eckhart sat upright.

The mage has always been known for its destructive power. The scene in front of us can indirectly indicate that the battle time that happened last night was very short. Otherwise, once the destructive power of the mage completely unfolds with the battle time, maybe they will see only the ruins of the manor today. At the same time, this also shows the strong combat power that Drank Xialan showed when facing a mage!

Segreg and Eckhart didn't wait too long. After a while, Xialan and Pandillia, wearing a lilac dress, appeared slowly in front of their eyes.

This is not the first time Segreg has seen Pandelia's true face, but every time he sees Pandelia, he will sincerely sigh at her beauty.

After the two sat opposite Segreg and the other two, Xia Lan said simply: "I know your purpose, so let's talk nonsense. We agree to the cooperation with Viscount Morrown, and even Pandillia's marriage issue! But you must comply with the conditions we put forward!"

Segreg frowned. Xia Lan's brutal and rough style made him very uncomfortable and said, "Please tell me, please."

"We have only one condition. His Highness Pandillia must have absolute freedom under the protection of Viscount Morrown!" Xia Lan insisted on the railway.

"I don't know what exactly does the absolute freedom you express mean?" Segreg asked.

"The so-called absolute freedom is that Pandelia's actions and actions do not allow you to stop interfering!" Xia Lan said. "If you cannot agree to our conditions, sorry, please come back!"

After saying that, Xia Lan remained silent, staring at Segreg's mouth and waiting for his answer.

Segreg sighed secretly in his heart. The other party's behavior was simply unreasonable and he did not give you any room for discussion. In this way, even if he prepared more and more splashy words, it would be useless!

Especially Viscount Moroen confessed before leaving that this negotiation must bring Pandelia back to Via Castle, and no matter how harsh the conditions proposed by the other party have to agree! Of course, if you can fight for it, try to reduce their losses as much as possible!

"On behalf of Viscount Morrown, I agree to your conditions!"
