Chapter 204 The Secret of Negotiation

Duke Barov is not young anymore. He has seen many people in his life, of all kinds, thieves, robbers, trolls, and princes. He had never seen a person so domineering, so domineering.

Piansheng is not blindly domineering, at least he comes with wealth.

"Give my friends wealth, and my enemies death...?" He squinted his eyes and looked at the long carriage team behind Duke. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Duke Barov would have to say, "This little boy!" Guys are well prepared'.

Recalling the profile of the miraculously fast rising kid Duke Marcus in his mind, Alex Barov had a headache.

Too young and too powerful.

If Duke is a title passed down from his ancestors, Duke Barov can still treat Duke in the same way as his younger generation. Apparently Duke wasn't.

Last summer, at the age of 14, he was selected as a magic apprentice at the Storm King's School of Magic at the East County Abbey. In the same year, at the entrance ceremony, with unparalleled talent, he became an official earth mage, and rejected the request of Medivh, the guardian of Azeroth, to accept him as a disciple on the spot.

Later it turned out that Duke was right, because he was sensitive to the demonic aura on Medivh.

That's all.

In the next few months, he regained a small Naga clan from nowhere by himself, controlled nearly ten thousand murlocs, opened the sea route between Stormwind City and the Western Wilderness in one fell swoop, and opened up a daily route. Wan Jin's 'Pearl Route'.

The exaggeration is yet to come.

When Medivh was controlled by Sargeras and opened the Dark Portal, the 15-year-old Duke went into Karazhan with the famous Anduin Lothar, killed Medivh, and sent Sargeras They all fell into the bottomless abyss.

Next, whether it was burning 100,000 orcs, trapping and killing the chief of the tribe, or using a huge ice ship to rescue 50,000 elite soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom, everything Duke did was a miracle. However, there are a lot of personal and physical evidence for everything, and there is no room for falsification.

No, it should be said that the scene of the frozen sea was also witnessed by Duke Barov himself.

This is indeed...

"It's really amazing, Grand Master Marcus, how did you seal the lake with ice? How is the energy output of the ice elemental world balanced? How about magic coordination? Spells? Is it pure ice, or is it combined Arcane Department?"

Hearing the familiar female voice coming from beside him, Duke Barov had a headache.

"Ah! Sorry, I'm so excited, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Janice Barov, mistress of House Barov. Before that, of course, I was a sky mage. Antonidas of Dalaran Grand*mage's junior sister." This elegant lady sold out Duke Barov completely as soon as she opened her mouth.

right!

Magic first or husband first?

you still need to ask! ?

Magic of course!

Ignoring the black lines on her husband's head, Mrs. Janice leaned up to ask Duke, who had just dismounted, like a groupie.

Well, the negotiation didn't start, and the Barov family lost 20% first.

Duke Barov was so embarrassing, he could only cough twice: "Honey, don't you think it's rude to leave a distinguished guest at the door?"

"That's right! Let's go in and talk." Janice was so enthusiastic that she almost dragged Duke in by the hand.

Stepping into the huge gate of the castle, Duke stared at the castle, which was completely surrounded by prosperity and greenery in midsummer, and was suddenly filled with emotion.

It turned out that this place was so beautiful before it became a psychic academy.

As a wealthy, powerful and powerful aristocrat, Barov certainly couldn't live on a bare stone island. As the owner of the castle, the Barov family had obviously carefully selected the tree species on the island, which would not be too tall to hinder their own defense, and would also be able to guarantee lush greenery in most seasons.

If there is anything touched by this castle for Duke, it is that it makes him feel nostalgic.

Once upon a time, as a college student with corrupt ideals, he also thought that one day he would make a fortune and buy a villa for vacation or something.

With his duke status and current wealth, he can do this.

It's a pity that now that he has come to Azeroth, the concept of a 'stable home', which seemed so common in peaceful times, seems distant and unfamiliar to Duke today, as if it has nothing to do with him.

If there were not a series of successive crises in Azeroth, which would keep the whole world involved in destruction and rebirth, perhaps such a castle would have been Duke's ultimate goal.

Seeing every detail of this bustling and peaceful castle, Duke suddenly wondered, when will he transform Karazhan?

Walking in the spacious and bright corridors full of ornate decorations, Duke Balluff's gait alone surpassed Duke Jiujie's. His shoulders were straight and almost unshakable, and his slightly raised chin would not make people feel that he was Too arrogant, but also quite confident, every step of his firm steps seems to have been measured with a ruler, not a cent more, not a cent less.

In terms of aristocratic etiquette, the real duke has won too much over Duke, the duke who is a traveler who is on the line of fire.

Duke is very clear that if it doesn't get back a victory, there is no need to talk about it when it comes to the negotiating table.

This is not an exaggeration.

The secret to negotiation is: the success of negotiation depends on how much preparation you have done before sitting at the negotiating table. Use what you have and what the other person wants to satisfy the other person's appetite.

If you lose too much before sitting at the negotiating table, no matter how much effort you make, you will be underestimated and dismissed.

If he wanted to pry open the treasure chest of the Barov family and get out the most valuable thing in the treasure chest—grain, he would first seize the Achilles heel of the Barov family. If you can't do this, any groveling, kneeling and begging are meaningless. Unless he sent troops to rob it, he couldn't even get a single grain out of the Barov's granary.

Fortunately, Duke knew what to do next.

Of course before that...

Duke gently operated his magic circuit. This is definitely a common thing among magicians. Many magicians like to constantly absorb elemental molecules in the atmosphere, and even gradually solidify higher-purity magic power into better circuits to replace the old or broken ones in their bodies. circuit.

But Duke's approach is a bit exaggerated.

Just opening his half-closed eyes, in just one second, all the magic traps within a radius of 300 meters have been scanned by Duke with the system wizard. Mrs. Janice could clearly feel that at this moment, all the magic traps and magic circles under her control had slightly deviated.

It wasn't that she didn't want to regain absolute control over the magic circles, but that the magic circles flinched away from her as if they were afraid. She suddenly realized that as long as Duke wanted to, his irresistible power would dominate everything and take over everything in an instant.
