Chapter 1071: Negotiation

Standing behind Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, who was acting as a personal bodyguard, kept beating a small drum in her heart.

Facing the mistress of the clan, Bai Xiaowen's attitude... seemed a little too arrogant.

This is not in line with Bai Xiaowen's usual style - in Li Shuyi's impression, Bai Xiaowen is the kind of person who doesn't care about face and pays attention to actual interests. In order to pretend to be aggressive and anger the leaders of the spirit world, leading to variables in the expansion of the plot, this kind of stupid behavior should not happen to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen's thoughts went deeper.

In Bai Xiaowen's view, in the drow society where women are superior to men and men are inferior, the status of men is extremely low. The negotiation between him and Mistress Cynthia will be looked down upon by Mistress Cynthia.

In this case, blindly seeking perfection will only make the other party look down on one's own side, which is harmful to the negotiation conditions.

Bai Xiaowen showed an arrogant attitude, and the other party's reaction was nothing more than two extremes: the first one, becoming angry and fighting, causing the negotiation to break down; The way the drow treat men.

The first possibility can basically be ruled out. As long as Mistress Cynthia is not a solid idiot, she will not use the future of the tribe as a dispute...

Bai Xiaowen folded his arms and observed Mistress Cynthia with interest.

Mistress Cynthia's face was cloudy and uncertain.

"Human, do you have a way to help the tribe? Speak up."

"Now the Knossolis tribe should be trapped by the undead plague. I want to confirm one thing first... Is your original method of fighting the undead plague completely ineffective, or can it play a partial role? What is the specific situation?"

Mistress Cynthia said patiently: "It can only be used to suppress the plague. This time the plague of undead is very violent... Some experimental subjects did not survive the night, and the plague virus in their bodies broke out and became plague undead. The original plague The virus has an incubation period of at least half a month, and even if the virus breaks out, there will be a slow transformation process, but it is completely different now."

"This is normal. Times are developing and technology is improving..." Bai Xiaowen stared at Mistress Cynthia, "How effective are your suppression methods? How long can you suppress the plague virus?"

"I don't know..." Mistress Cynthia was a little irritated and forced to suppress the anxiety in her heart and said, "Currently, the people who have been injected with spider poison have not shown signs of transformation into plague undead, but the virus still cannot be expelled.

Two priests who studied the virus predicted that the suppression time would not exceed one month. "

"I see."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "The way I help the Knossolis tribe is to make an antidote."

"The antidote? Human, do you know what you're talking about? If the virus of the Lord of Plague could be undone so easily, then he would have been absorbed by us long ago!" Mistress Cynthia obviously didn't believe it.

"On this point, it is of no benefit for me to lie to you. In fact, my territory was once invaded by the undead plague. Just two years ago, the Lord of the Plague sent a large number of plague spreaders to attack me together with the remnants of the crime domain. The war started. But the final result was that the great chieftain of the remnants of the sin area was beheaded, and my territory was preserved."

Mistress Cynthia's expression was a little loose, but she thought of something, and she said dejectedly: "We can also solve the plague virus two years ago! But now, the Lord of Plague has improved the virus, making it more violent and taking longer to attack. Short! It’s not so easy to untie it.”

"For the original plague virus, it took the polymaths under my command less than a week to complete the preparation of the antidote."

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "With this foundation, it shouldn't take too long for him to formulate a new antidote for the new plague virus."

After Bai Xiaowen dropped this shocking news, he monitored the subtle expressions of Mistress Cynthia.

When she heard the news, Mistress Cynthia's eyes narrowed suddenly, her breathing stopped for about two seconds, and her nails even turned white due to subconscious force.

Although Mistress Cynthia regained her composure after a moment of astonishment, and her calm performance was not shocked by Bai Xiaowen at all, but Bai Xiaowen knew that he had already taken the initiative in the negotiation.

The first step in negotiating cooperation is to tell the other party what I can do, and to accurately grasp the importance of our side in the other party's heart.

The next step is the second step, asking the other party what to do.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Mistress Cynthia really went on the road, and before Bai Xiaowen could speak, she asked the question directly.

"I demand alliances."

Bai Xiaowen said: "To be precise, it is an alliance against the Plague Lord's forces... You need to do two things."

"First, persuade other tribes of the drow empire to wage war against the Lord of Plague in the underground world."

"Second, lead the elite army of the Knossolis tribe to go north to crusade against the crime domain."

Mistress Cynthia was shocked. She didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to have such great ambitions, so she couldn't help but said, "No..."

"Before refusing, I suggest you think about your situation." Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "Mother Cynthia, do you still have a choice?"

"It's crazy, it's completely out of my control."

Mistress Cynthia said in a low voice, "The empire is not as monolithic as you imagined. Every tribe has its own agenda. I have no ability to persuade other tribes to declare war on the Lord of Plague when the future is uncertain..."

"That's a pity." Bai Xiaowen shrugged.

Mistress Cynthia's eyes showed a trace of cruelty, she was desperate, if the negotiations with Bai Xiaowen failed to reach an agreement, she would not hesitate to use force to coerce her.

"Remind you, Your Excellency Mistress... My companions and I have the ability to leave this plane world at any time," Bai Xiaowen spread his palms, and the return scroll props slightly emitted psychic fluctuations, "If there is no preparation, I will How dare you bring only one person to visit the drow mistress."

Mistress Cynthia finally had nothing to do, she slumped back on the main seat, sighed and said: "You have won! Your Excellency Dio Skelboom, I can accept your second condition! As for the first condition, I can only Guaranteed to do our best, whether we can succeed is really uncertain.”

"make a deal."

Bai Xiaowen nodded with a smile. He didn't expect Mistress Cynthia to persuade the entire Drow Empire to participate in the war from the beginning. The second condition was his fundamental goal.

With such a powerful drow tribe, there is no need to worry about the safety of the northern border in a short time.
