Chapter 152 Negotiation (Part 2)

The sound of rain outside the window has basically stopped, and the clouds are dyed red by the setting sun.

Roland pushed open the door of the guest room on the first floor, and Margaery was walking back and forth in front of the fireplace with a somewhat disturbed expression. After seeing the prince, Xiao En, the personal guard guarding the side, raised his hand and left, but she hurried forward and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, how is Lightning?"

Roland was stunned. He imagined the other party's various reactions, from calm to angry to indifferent, but he didn't expect her first sentence to be this.

"She's fine...just tired."

"Really? That's good." She looked relieved.

"You seem to care about her."

"She looks very much like her father, especially her narrow eyes and pointed nose... I can tell that she is Lei Ting's daughter."

After she finished speaking, she sighed, unbuttoned her neckline, lowered her head, and took off a string of golden ornaments hanging around her neck, "The verification you mentioned earlier... means judging by the witch's ability? If so Doing what proves my sincerity, can she also join this conversation? I don’t like the feeling of being spied on.”

The pendant is composed of a string of gold chains and a huge light blue gem. The jewel cut into a hexahedron should be a high-quality God's Stone of Retaliation.

Roland was thinking about how to speak to reduce the other party's resentment and doubts, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to do so. To be honest, he admired this fjord woman a little bit. Even though she was in an extremely unfavorable situation, she was still trying to take the initiative in the conversation. Whether it is negotiating skills or demeanor, she is in line with the identity of a successful businessman.

He took the God's Stone of Retaliation from the other party, and hung it on the hanger by the fireplace. This quality of God's Stone of Retaliation is estimated to have a range of about one meter for prohibiting magic. In Nightingale's eyes, it is comparable to a huge black hole. Maybe in order to avoid the effect of the stone, she has been hiding far away.

"Let's go to the living room and talk," Roland said. Since the other party has shown sincerity, he shouldn't be too stingy. When the two walked into the living room, Nightingale had already appeared and sat beside the main seat, propping her chin with both hands, deliberately pretending to have waited for a long time. It seems that she had the same thoughts as him, the prince thought.

After taking his seat, he took the lead in introducing: "This woman is called Nightingale, and she can judge the authenticity of what you say."

"Hello, Miss Nightingale." Margaret nodded to her, and the latter returned the greeting.

"You said before that you have no malice towards witches. Why?" Roland asked the first question, which was also the one he wanted to know the most. "As far as I know, there are also church forces in the fjords."

"But its influence is far less than that of the three gods. In other words, the beliefs of most fjord people are similar to those of the sand people, worshiping the sky, the sea and the earth. As for me..." She paused, "I once had a very good friend During a fishing trip together, we encountered a storm and the sailboat was interrupted by huge waves. She became a witch in this disaster and could breathe like a fish. She found me who was unconscious, and dragged me ashore."

"What happened next?" Nightingale asked curiously.

"After I woke up, she left... Maybe she wanted to be in the ocean more than being with me," Margaery said regretfully, "I never saw her again. The village People in the village often say that she will appear when the fog rises on the sea, and she will guide the fishing boats to avoid the reefs with her singing. In any case, my partner cannot be an evil person, let alone a minion of the devil."

Roland nodded. Witches are all awakened by ordinary people. If you have a deep contact or understanding with them before awakening, the impression formed is difficult to be changed by the church's unilateral rhetoric.

"You seem to know quite a lot about the abilities of witches? You can guess that there may be more than one witch hiding here with just one sentence."

"To be honest, I'm very interested in witches because of my childhood companions, and I thought about taking in this group of strange women." Margaery smiled, "It's a pity that the king is no better than Border Town. Give up. Lightning's actions seem to be very close to you, and she is a witch... so I think you may not hate witches like me. As a lord, it is not difficult to hide several witches, Especially in this borderland. But you still have to be extremely careful, if the church finds out, it will be very difficult for you to keep them."

Speaking of which, Nightingale still didn't find any sign of the other party's lying, so she basically rejected the possibility of her reporting to the church. Roland finally felt relieved, and said apologetically: "It seems that I am really overthinking, I hope you don't take it to heart."

"No, His Highness's actions are also for the safety of Lightning and... this woman," Margaery waved her hand, "If you do nothing, it will be irresponsible."

"Are you familiar with Thunder?" Roland asked, "Your love for Lightning really exceeds that of ordinary people for the children of heroes."

Facing this question, Margaery hesitated for a moment. Roland said that if you don't want to answer, you can pretend that you haven't asked, but she finally said slowly: "To tell you the truth, after I left the fishing village, I joined Lord Lei Ting's expedition team and spent a long time with him. A journey of exploration. As a newcomer to the team, Lord Lei Ting and his wife took extra care of me, and I was also present on the day Lightning was born."

"She was born on a ship?"

"Yes, in a violent storm. The thunder and lightning outside the cabin never stopped. Not long after she was born, Lord Lei Ting's wife died of sepsis. I... acted as her half mother. No Breast milk, I mixed chewed wheat porridge and fish roe powder, and fed her little by little." Margaret's voice became very gentle, "Although Lord Thunder is extremely sad, he still has to command the fleet. If there is no backbone to advance, the sailing for several months will easily collapse the crew. But I stayed in the cabin and watched Lightning grow up slowly. Until Lord Thunder discovered the Shadow Islands and returned to Sea Dragon Bay smoothly, This expedition is just over. Later, I... left the fjords and settled down in the capital of the King of Graycastle."

"So that's how it is." Roland sighed in his heart. It's no wonder that when she heard Lei Ting's name, her reaction was so strong. As for why the other party did not continue to follow Lei Ting to explore, he can roughly guess one or two. With the beginning of the love story, the ending of the love story may not be reaped.

This is really a coincidence that turned around... Now that we have this relationship, can we get a bigger discount when we start a business? He coughed twice, "Ms. Margery, in this way we can be regarded as acquaintances, what's the deal?"

"Your Highness, that can't be done," Margaret said with a smile, "A transaction is a transaction. This is the eternal principle of a businessman." Support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
