Section 529 Negotiation

When the old mage heard Lao Xie's words, his face turned red, and then he could only nod helplessly and said, "Oh, I accidentally called that bastard to walk!"

"Huh?" Lan Fake immediately said curiously: "In theory, with the strength of you and the 12 Golden Monster Lord, shouldn't he be told to run away?"

"You don't know!" The old mage couldn't help complaining: "That bastard was specifically targeting me. He brought countless lightning-resistant items on me. I threw tens of lightning-resistant items on it, and more than 90% of the power was absorbed by those magic-resistant equipment. How could I kill a sword saint? I played the life-threatening attack, and finally smashed all his equipment and broke one of his arm. But at this time I was so tired that I almost exhausted my magic power. But the bastard escaped with a pair of legendary acceleration shoes. I used all my last strength to chase him until the palace and didn't kill him! I was so angry!" The old mage said, slapped the table hard, obviously extremely angry.

Everyone did not expect that the Shadow Sword Saint was afraid that the old mage would reach this level. You should know that although anti-magic equipment can resist magic to a certain extent, the price of this resistance is too high and is completely disproportionate to the effort. Because there are too many types of magic, it is difficult to resist all of them. Under normal circumstances, warriors will not wear such expensive anti-magic equipment that cannot improve combat effectiveness. After all, they rarely encounter mage-type enemies. Only when they know in advance that they are going to oppose a certain mage will they choose the corresponding resistance equipment.

There are the most resistance equipment to flame and ice on the market. After all, these two types of mages are the most terrifying. Correspondingly, lightning resistance equipment is the rarest, because there are not many lightning-type mages on the continent, and some are also made to resist the few lightning-type monsters.

Therefore, in this case, the Shadow Sword Saint could get so much lightning-resistant equipment, which was naturally beyond the expectation of the old mage.

Now that things have come to this point, Lao Xie has no good idea. He can't just break into the palace and rebel, right? Although he has this strength, he still has to worry about the old master's feelings. So he comforted him, "Forget it, this time I'll give him a discount. When will I meet him next time, I'll settle the score with him!"

"Next time?" the old mage shook his head helplessly and said, "It would be fine to kill him in one go, but if you can't kill him, it would be difficult to kill him again! Because the emperor will definitely come forward to plead for him, so I have to give His Majesty some face!"

"Haha, he is just a disabled person and can't cause much storm, so don't care. However, the emperor should have a handle on us this time, right?" Lao Xie said suddenly.

"Hand? What's the handle?" the old mage said in confusion.

"Of course it's the Shadow Assassin's business!" Lao Xie sneered: "I found a confidential document in the Shadow Sword Saint's room, which records all the assassination tasks in the past decades they were established. Hehe. Do you know? The important figures killed by them are three digits, covering aristocrats from more than a dozen countries, and even people under the Light Empire and the Beast Clan."

"Ah!" The old mage was shocked and said, "Are they crazy? How can they do this?"

"Obviously, it's not the shadow assassin that is crazy, it's the emperor who is crazy!" Lao Xie shrugged and said, "But. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's really no wonder that he is so crazy. Assassins at the Holy Realm level, there are as many as 5. If these few super experts assassins are assassinated, they will not find any flaws. Not only is the success rate amazing, but there is almost no possibility of being noticed. It is precisely because of this that the emperor will unscrupulously send out shadow assassins."

"Oh, but you found the evidence in the end?" The old mage shook his head helplessly, and then said, "What are you going to deal with those documents?"

"Just make a deal with the emperor!" Lao Xie said proudly.

"Trade? You are clearly blackmailing?" the old mage said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, it's almost the same!" Lao Xie said indifferently: "Who told him to fall into my hands? If I don't knock him well, how can I be worthy of myself?"

"Then what do you want to force His Majesty to do?" the old mage frowned and said, "I warn you. Don't go too far?"

"It won't be too much. I just let him deal with the assassination case fairly and quickly!" Lao Xie smiled and said, "How is it? Isn't this too much?"

"Isn't this too much?" When the old mage heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let's go, I just hope you can give him some face!" After that, the old mage turned around and left. He obviously didn't want to see the emperor's embarrassing appearance.

You know, Lao Xie’s request seems reasonable, but in fact, it is like slapping the emperor! Because the nobles in the imperial capital know that the emperor wanted to remove Catherine’s military power this time. That’s why he dropped Catherine back with great momentum and released the wind, saying that Catherine harmed the nobles, and that the laws of nature were not tolerated, so he had to reflect on it. But now Lao Xie forced him to deal with it fairly, so he had to take back all his previous words. As an emperor, he was forced to rebel by his ministers. That’s really, how could he bear it! I guess the emperor could be depressed to death!

But Lao Xie obviously didn't care about this. On the afternoon of that day, the emperor came to the Magic Tower to visit the old mage in person, obviously to apologize.

The old mage was unwilling to threaten the emperor, but he was embarrassed to stop Lao Xie who was standing there, so he simply hid and asked Lao Xie to interview the emperor.

Lao Xie was not polite, and directly negotiated with the emperor in the living room. Now Lao Xie was extremely annoyed by the emperor, so he was too lazy to play those hypocritical politeness with the emperor. He sat in front of the careless emperor and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I am a rough man and can't play with any false land. Let's go straight to the point, right?"

The emperor obviously couldn't stand Lao Xie's unreasonableness, so he sank directly and said angrily: "You are not qualified to talk to me yet, where is Teacher Stephen? I want to see him!"

"The old man chased the Shadow Sword Saint for a whole night, exhausted and dead. Now he has rested. Moreover, this incident has completely hurt his heart, and he is unwilling to talk to you. That's why I am fully representing the Stephen family!" Lao Xie said lightly: "Can we talk now?"

"Hmph, no!" The emperor stood up with a sneer and said, "Since the teacher is tired, I can come back another day!"

"Very good!" Lao Xie was not in a hurry and said directly: "Then please come back! But there is one thing I have to remind Your Majesty!"

The emperor's body that had just turned stopped again and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

"At three days at most, the list of hundreds of nobles assassinated by the Shadow Assassin will spread throughout the continent!" Lao Xie sneered, "I will give you a free copy at that time!"

"You~" the emperor was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly turned around again, pointed at Lao Xie's nose and said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no!" Lao Xie sneered, "I just state a fact. If I can't get an explanation, then I will come up with a way!"

"What do you want to say?" the emperor said hurriedly.

"Why was Catherine assassinated?" Lao Xie said angrily: "Isn't she the eldest princess? Is she not worthy of the country and the royal family?"

"Of course she is the eldest princess, and she has made contributions!" The emperor could only say helplessly: "But the assassination really has nothing to do with me! Catherine is also my daughter, how could I bear to kill my child?"

"So, you are also an innocent victim?" Lao Xie sneered.

"Yes, I am indeed a victim!" When the emperor said this, he remembered the fact that the shadow assassin organization, which he had cultivated tens of millions of gold coins, was completely destroyed. He felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry!

"Since it has nothing to do with you and you are also a victim, why don't you punish the murderer severely and why do you still need to shelter the person who wants to kill your daughter?" Lao Xie asked sternly.

"This~" the emperor rubbed his hands helplessly and said, "Stephen, you are also a smart person. You should know my difficulties. Why do you have to force me?"

"No, I didn't force you. You kept forcing me!" Lao Xie sneered: "Hmph, didn't you say just now that I'm not qualified to talk to you at all?"

"Okay, can I be wrong?" the emperor said with great depression. He was indescribable at this time. In terms of official identity, he was the emperor, and Lao Xie was just a minister; in terms of personal identity, he was the father-in-law, and Lao Xie was just a son-in-law. No matter how you look at him, he was the boss, but he was the humble person. How could this be accepted by the arrogant emperor?

After hearing this, Lao Xie immediately pretended to behave, "Yeah, just know if you are wrong!" That attitude was just like grandpa scolding his three grandsons. The emperor was so angry that he couldn't vomit blood.

But the handle was in the hands of Lao Xie, and the emperor did not dare to have anger. He could only suppress his anger and smiled and said, "Little Stephen, why do you say that you are my daughter's fiancé? We are a family, right? So you can't harm me?"

"Of course, I can't harm you even for Catherine's sake!" Lao Xie nodded immediately and said.

"That's good, that's good!" the emperor hurriedly said, "Then can you destroy that list?"

"Principles are OK!" Lao Xie suddenly changed his mouth and said, "But what?"

"But what?" the emperor said quickly: "If you have the conditions, you can just ask, and I agree!"

"Haha, then I'm not polite!" Lao Xie then said proudly: "First of all, since Catherine was wronged, does it still need her to continue to be under house arrest?"

"Of course there is no need. I will immediately order her freedom to be restored!" the emperor said hurriedly.

"I also need to restore my post!" Lao Xie suddenly said coldly.
