Chapter 1040: Advice From a Friend
"Can you introduce me to your master?" Prince Jacques asked. "I am suddenly very interested in such a man."
Regarding the sudden change of conversation, Uzov politely replied: "Although I would like to satisfy His Highness's wishes, it is a pity that my role is too small and I do not have the right to introduce people."
"Oh, with the president's status today, isn't it still not important enough in the eyes of that magician?"
Regarding this remark that was meant to provoke discord, Uzov chose to play dumb. At the same time, he replied seriously: "One of the conditions for me to stay with my lord was that I would not cause any trouble to him. If someone comes to see him through me every three days, it will not bore him to death." Not to mention that I am not familiar with the person I introduced. Your Highness, if your subordinates did this, would you accept it?"
In the world of aristocrats, it is very rude to visit someone rashly, and it may even be a matter of seeking death. If you want to meet someone new, the best thing to do is to find a mutual friend to act as an introducer. In this way, both parties can learn about the new friend from their common friend, and get to know each other step by step.
However, not everyone is qualified to be this communication bridge. The consequences of finding the wrong introducer may be more serious than directly offending the other party. So Prince Jacques asked cautiously: "Oh, who is suitable for this task?"
Faced with the inquiry, Uzov did not continue to show an uncooperative attitude, but started counting seriously. "Master Fen is absolutely fine. But she is more withdrawn than the other one. Basically, except for the priests and magicians in the life course, no one has come into contact with her. Mr. Ruan Wenyue, one of the chief stewards of the Ruan Chamber of Commerce There should be no problem with the Grand Duke of Kavi, after all, they are very important partners. If you want to take the academy route, I have seen him reject many magicians who passed the math class and strangers who wanted to meet my Lord. . Unless you are a student in his math class, the only person with enough respect in the academy is probably the founder of the academy, the Great Magician Kaban."
After hearing the names named by Uzov, Prince Jacques said with a joking expression and regret: "It seems that I have no chance to meet this interesting magician."
This trip was fruitless, and Prince Jacques did not think about stalking or doing anything further. He stood up quickly and took the baron to leave. As the president of the guild, Uzov, of course, had to personally see the distinguished guests off.
The two soldiers who were paralyzed by gunshots had already recovered by the time the conversation ended. They stayed outside the reception room, waiting to meet their master. As for the fact that they were not taken seriously, perhaps it was because the servants of the nobles had already realized this, so no dissatisfaction could be seen on their expressions. Whether he really didn't care or kept it to himself, Uzov didn't know.
At the gate, Prince Jacques resumed his role as the baron's servant, following the arrogant nobleman. But when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, looked at Uzov and said, "Mr. Chairman, please tell me something for your lord."
Since the other party was being polite, Uzov would not refuse coldly. Then he said: "Please tell me."
"The reason why we came forward is because we have no other means that are more sure of success, so we chose to come forward to negotiate, hoping to get some benefits from this matter. Although there was no good result in the end, I am not surprised. You. But for others who choose not to come forward, it is because they have other more reliable means, so they are still hiding in the dark, waiting for the moment when those means can be most effective, or when you cannot see them It operates in a certain place. So don’t take it lightly and think that everything will be fine if you dismiss us.”
"Oh, what a surprise." Uzov said this in response to a certain prince's advice.
Prince Jacques, who was wearing a black butler's uniform and pretending to be a noble servant, smiled and said: "What surprises you? Am I the one who would give such advice, or have I revealed that there are others who are coveting the secret of your Lord's airship technology?"
"The part that surprises me is the former. As for other people's problems, we have already discovered it. But we can't just find people and kill them just because the other party is watching. So we can only look at the other party's actions, and then Let’s think about how to deal with it.”
"That's right. Is this also your Lord's opinion?"
"Yes." Uzov said frankly.
"What a special person." Prince Jacques sighed. In Lost Land, the emphasis is on eliminating danger invisible. If he found such a sign, he would definitely kill the opponent first. Even if there is no bloodshed in the political struggle until the last moment, everyone is fully prepared, digging a pit full of spikes, waiting for the opponent to fall in, and kill them in one fell swoop.
"But I will convey your opinion to my lord. I believe he will also feel this kindness." Uzov certainly knew the intention of the other person's advice, so he also responded in kind. According to that person, there is nothing wrong with saying good things and doing favors for free.
Knowing that his intention was accurately caught by the other party, Prince Jacques had no embarrassment. According to the magician he knew from the president of the Technical Guild, such a direct attitude would make it easier for him to gain favor from the other person. Anyway, you have to exchange benefits in the end, so why bother leaving a bad impression and giving the other party a reason to raise the price.
The two speakers smiled tacitly, said goodbye to each other, and ended the meeting. As for the baron, although he was still at the forefront, he had been reduced to a supporting role and did not dare to behave in any way in front of his own prince.
Seeing the group of people leaving, the dark elf Melcha came behind Uzov Gantia and asked, "Are you just going to let them go?"
"If someone in the family knew about it, he would probably just say that they are just a bunch of little people and not worth caring about."
"A prince of a kingdom can be considered a small person?" Mai Ersu said in a pretense of surprise.
"That person is the one who has a friendship with your Majesty. How many people in Midland can be considered as little people in his eyes?" Uzov sighed.
The dark elf tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that this is true." Uzov settled the argument, and Melchu no longer cared about things here. As soon as he turned around, he returned to the guild to handle the unfinished business.
Uzov, who stayed where he was, whispered: "Let's talk about the airship, it's not a big deal. If we knew about the conspiracy between the magician and the World Tree..." Although he was just mumbling to himself, he thought of that incident. , which actually left Uzov speechless.
Wood elves disappeared from the Lost Land on a large scale. Ordinary people may not notice it, but how could those who are also members of the Turtle Dove Alliance not notice it. Thanks to the convenience of the forum, people who are friends with the wood elves will not lose contact with each other. They also knew the request from the World Tree, and the wood elves shrank back to their respective tribes. Then came the unproven and little-known Elven Civil War.
The continuous war revealed many things. Worried, Uzov ran to the magician and asked him what he was doing. ...and then regretted it.
It's not that someone lied, it's that he told the truth. Strictly speaking, his conspiracy with Yggdrasil should not pose any threat to the civilized world. And that incident didn't seem to be a disaster that should be made public and condemned by the whole world. However, Uzov always felt that that kind of thing was not something a small person like him should know about or be involved in.
