However, the Snow Deer Lord did not know that high-end hunters often appear as prey.
Just when the Snow Deer Lord thought he had set a trap for Fike, he was actually the "prey" who stepped into the trap.
·
"Lord, what you mean is that as long as I can defeat the monsters entrenched in Tels Village, then you are willing to listen to my request?"
At this time, the young Fike proposed a very "naive" "condition". After hearing it, the Snow Deer Lord became more convinced that his judgment of Fike was correct.
——(I’m just listening to your request, so why not agree to it?)
The Snow Deer Lord sneered in his heart, then nodded.
At this moment, he didn't know that his smile would freeze in a second.
"That's really nice."
As Fei Ke spoke, he quickly untied his bag, took out three red magic cores from it, and then placed them neatly in a row on the desk of Lord Snow Deer.
"Lord, please confirm. These three are the magic cores of the Flame Devouring Giant Wolves. They are the three that are entrenched in Tels Village. Vanessa and I happened to pass by Tels Village on our way to White Valley City, and we took advantage of the opportunity to defeat them and other monsters."
Things changed so quickly that the Snow Deer Lord couldn't react immediately.
——(Has the issue of Tels Village been resolved?)
——(Is this true? How could such a coincidence happen?)
Looking at the three crimson magic cores in front of him, Lord Snow Deer was in disbelief.
Then, as if seeing through his thoughts, the boy added another sentence.
"If you're worried, you can give it to an appraiser. I can wait."
After hearing this, Lord Snow Deer quickly responded, because if he continued to remain speechless, his image would collapse.
"No need to identify them, these are indeed the magic cores of the Flame Devouring Giant Wolf. I'm just surprised that such a coincidence could happen in this world."
Lord Snow Deer did not doubt the authenticity of the magic core. He did not think that this boy would have the courage to forge it in front of him, not to mention that Vanessa was there to guarantee it.
Now that what was promised has been "completed in person", the Snow Deer Lord can only fulfill his promise first.
"It's truly fate's own guiding hand, Mr. Fike. Now that you've already vanquished the monster, you can now state your 'request.'"
What the Snow Deer Lord was thinking at this time was that he was just listening to the other party's request and there wouldn't be any big problem.
·
The Snow Deer Lord, who was in a relaxed mood, was shocked again by the young man Fei Ke not long after, and was ten times more shocked.
The Snow Deer Lord expected that the boy's request would be for either "wealth" or "power", but the boy didn't want either. He came to ask the Snow Deer family for help in rescuing people, and he even went to the territory of the "Werewolf Royal Family" to rescue "Ice Star Shirley"!
If the young man's speech had not been normal and logical, the Snow Deer Lord would really have treated him as a madman or a fool and kicked him out.
"Young man, if you are joking, then I advise you to kneel down and admit your mistake first." The Snow Deer Lord said to the young man with a forced smile.
"My Lord, I'm not joking. I'm serious."
The young man Fei Ke looked back at the Snow Deer Lord with a serious expression, which made the Snow Deer Lord even more angry.
At this moment, it was as if a boiling kettle was buzzing in the Snow Deer Lord's head. In order to calm his anger, the Snow Deer Lord turned his head to look at Vanessa, hoping to find some clues from the expression of his daughter whom he had not seen for ten years.
As a result, he only saw a pale and stiff Vanessa, and could not get any useful information.
——(Good job, Vanessa... After ten years, this is how you "give back" to your father...)
The Snow Deer Lord took a deep breath quietly, calmed himself down, and then looked at Fei Ke again.
No matter what, he is the lord of the Snow Deer family and cannot lose his dignity here, but he will never allow this young man to do whatever he wants here.
"Mr. Fike, if you're serious, you'd better convince me within ten minutes. Otherwise, I will accuse you of insulting the Snow Deer family and punish you accordingly."
After the Snow Deer Lord finished speaking, he picked up the hourglass on the desk and turned it upside down. When the sand in the hourglass ran out, that would be the time for him to punish the young man...!
·
·
Jiang Ran glanced at the hourglass. According to the identification information, the hourglass actually only had a little more than nine minutes, but it was not a big problem. Such "extra" time was enough for him to convince the Snow Deer Lord.
Since the Snow Deer Lord's level did not exceed 200, Jiang Ran had been closely monitoring this guy's mental activities since they met.
Generally speaking, the more meticulous a person is, the harder it is to convince him. However, with Jiang Ran, it is just the opposite. The more inner activities a person has, the easier it is for him to control him.
Facing a person like the Snow Deer Lord who values "interests" and "rationality", as long as Jiang Ran can convince him that "attacking the werewolf royal family and rescuing the Ice Star Shirley" will benefit the Snow Deer family more than the disadvantages, and far outweigh the disadvantages, then he will definitely agree to Jiang Ran's request.
"Thank you for giving me your time, my lord."
Jiang Ran stood up and calmly saluted the Snow Deer Lord.
The first psychological negotiation skill is that when the person you are communicating with is sitting, standing up and using some calm body language to explain to the other party can increase credibility.
"Since time is limited, I'll get straight to the point."
Jiang Ran came to the map hanging on the wall and pointed to the location of Baigu City.
——『Combat Class Skill [Trickster - Lv30] has been activated and is currently in effect...』
"My Lord, if the Snow Deer Clan doesn't attack the Werewolf Royal Clan now, then by the time the werewolves' 'plan' is complete, the Snow Deer Clan will be completely slaughtered by the Werewolf Royal Clan within six months."
8.168 - The Guest Takes the Host Position
Snow Deer Lord Helun is a man who has seen the world and has seen many kinds of "monsters and ghosts".
He had even executed several people like the young man Fike who were full of empty talk and nonsense.
Saying the werewolf royal family can wipe out the snow deer family within six months? Don't you even think before you lie or brag?
However, despite his disdain, the Snow Deer Lord did not show it on the surface. He wanted to see how far "this young man brought back by Vanessa" could continue to blow such a outrageous lie.
"Oh? The werewolves' plan? What plan?" the Snow Deer Lord asked in surprise.
"My Lord, from what I know, the werewolf royal family is using the 'bloodline of the Snow Deer family' to cultivate power against the Snow Deer family."
The young man Fike did not keep the question in suspense. While answering, he tapped the territory of the werewolf royal family with his knuckles, his expression extremely serious.
After hearing this, Lord Snow Deer still didn't believe it, and even wanted to laugh in his heart, but he continued to appear to be focused and let Fei Ke continue to explain in detail.
"What do you mean? Don't be so brief. Explain the whole thing first."
"Okay, Lord."
Fike nodded and began to explain in a very calm and unhurried manner.
·
Generally speaking, liars will inevitably become nervous and increase their speaking speed after learning that the time for persuasion is limited, but Fei Ke was not affected at all, which made the Snow Deer Lord unconsciously begin to have a certain basic trust in him.
What made Lord Snow Deer willing to continue listening was the rigorous logic in Fei Ke's subsequent explanation.
Before officially beginning his explanation, Fei Ke first asked the Snow Deer Lord a question: "Before the werewolf royal family captured Ice Star Shirley, was there any record of other Snow Deer family members being captured alive?"
To this, the Snow Deer Lord answered in the negative.
Then, Fike continued, "That's right."
Fike explained that in order to avenge the Snow Muntjac family, the werewolf royal family has been conducting strange witchcraft research, and then some time ago, they discovered a method that can forcibly sever the bond between the Snow Muntjac family members and the deer spirits.
This method is generally not complicated. Just mix the blood of the snow muntjac family members with the blood of the werewolf royal family in a specific proportion, and then inject magic power with witchcraft. The final product can be used to set up a large-scale barrier.
Once the barrier is formed, members of the Snow Deer family within the range will not be able to command their deer spirits to fight.
"However, this method has a very special feature, that is, the Snow Deer Clan member used for blood refining must have a deep hatred for the Snow Deer Clan."
As he spoke, Fike tapped the location of Dris Town on the map and continued, "In the recent Dris Town incident, on the surface, the person who was abducted seemed to be Ice Star Shirley, but in fact, it was deliberately done by the werewolf royal family."
Fike believes that the best evidence here is that Vanessa was clearly present at the time, but the werewolf royal family did not care about her disappearance.
"Generally speaking, when it comes to capturing hostages alive, the more valuable the hostage, the better. Why would the Werewolf Royal Family be indifferent to the more valuable Vanessa? And why would they capture Ice Star Shirley, who has already severed ties with the Snow Deer Family? ...The reason is that they need a member of the Snow Deer Family who hates them."
When Fike finished speaking, there were less than three minutes left on the hourglass, but he still looked at ease and continued to speak the rest in an orderly manner.
·
Fike told Lord Snow Deer that the werewolf royal family had poured all their strength into this plan to succeed, and that the four highest-level ancestors of the werewolf royal family were responsible for this plan.
"The ancestor of bones, Bourne."
"The ancestor of the fangs, Tias."
"The ancestor of the claws, Klauer."
"The ancestor of the eye, Ain."
Not only did Fei Ke accurately say the names of the four ancestors, but he also "incidentally" described their appearances.
After hearing these descriptions that were exactly the same as the facts, Lord Snow Deer's attitude of watching the show wavered for the first time.
·
Until just now, Snow Deer Lord Helun had just been listening to a story.
Fike, this young man without any identity or background, was talking about the so-called "Werewolf Royal Family's Plan" without any actual evidence. The Snow Deer Lord even felt that his IQ was insulted.
If the werewolf royal family's plan was truly that powerful, how could a brat like you have known about it? And how could you have come to Baigu City, thousands of miles away, to report it safely?
The Snow Deer Lord knew how powerful the werewolf royal family was, so he didn't believe the story told by the young man Fike.
But just now, his mind changed.
Accurately revealing the information about the four werewolf ancestors... this is not something a clown boy can do.
As the current lord of the Snow Deer family, Snow Deer Lord Helun has never seen the four ancestors of the werewolf royal family in person. All the information about these four ancestors he read came from the top-secret books of the Snow Deer family.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Snow Deer family, there are no more than three people who know the information about the four ancestors of the werewolf royal family, including the Snow Deer Lord. And now, the fourth insider (Vanessa) has just been added in an unexpected way.
Therefore, now, no matter whether this Fike was lying or not, Lord Snow Deer could no longer take what he said as a story. He had to take this young man seriously.
However, this does not mean that Lord Snow Deer believes in Feke. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Lord Snow Deer begins to suspect that Feke might be a "spy" sent by the werewolf royal family to deliver false information?
·
"Mr. Fike, I'd like to ask how you learned the information about the werewolf royal family's actions?"
The Snow Deer Lord chose to test him directly at this time. He did not think that the young man could justify himself.
The young man glanced at the hourglass and gave a concise answer.
"I once saved the life of a werewolf royal. This werewolf royal happened to be one of the children of the current Wolf King, and she was also a 'Werewolf Blood Witch'. She told me why the werewolf royal family deliberately wanted to capture 'Ice Star Shirley' alive this time."
"Oh? What's the name of this werewolf blood witch?" the Snow Deer Lord asked immediately.
"For her safety, I can't tell you." The young man refused to answer without hesitation.
"You can't convince me like this, Mr. Fike." The Snow Deer Lord stared at the young man Fike with burning eyes.
This time, the young man Fei Ke did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the Snow Deer Lord for a while before giving his reply.
"If you can't trust me just because I'm missing the name of a source, then I have to admit that I failed."
As he spoke, the young man walked forward and, while there was still about a minute's worth of sand left in the hourglass, he took the initiative to turn the hourglass over.
"I'm sorry I couldn't convince you, Lord. According to our previous agreement, I am willing to accept the punishment."
8.169 - Deception
Vanessa was stunned.
Just now, she thought that Lord Fike was only one step away from persuading her father.
As she listened to Lord Fike's explanations one by one, she thought to herself that the werewolf royal family was actually planning such a horrific plan.
Under such circumstances, my father had no reason to refuse Lord Feike's request, because this was essentially the Snow Deer family's own business!
However, for some reason, the conversation suddenly came to a halt, and Lord Feike had no intention of fighting for it anymore, and directly expressed his willingness to accept the punishment.
This immediately made Vanessa at a loss. After all, she was Lord Feike's teammate and Longying's assistant. How could she just watch the negotiations fail?
What if my father is merciless and imposes severe punishment? How will this matter end?
However, Vanessa had a vague feeling that the situation was still under Lord Fig's control. What she should do now was to cooperate with Lord Fig and show regret, and not do anything superfluous.
·
Vanessa quickly made a decision, which was to choose to trust Lord Fig.
