Chapter 1112 Insufficient Sincerity
Watching the paper ball fall into the trash can one meter away in a parabola, I suddenly felt ashamed and subconsciously gave a thumbs up and said, "Daddy, you are really good at throwing paper!"
"Oh?" Dewey turned his head and saw that the paper ball did not fall outside the trash can. He was relieved and said, "This is easy. Just throw it into the bucket. You can throw tens of thousands of paper balls and you can be so accurate." .”
"Ouch" I exclaimed: "Is this paper also made of wood pulp? Isn't it bad to waste trees like this?"
While drawing, Dewey said casually: "What's wrong with that? After all, it costs money and will be used. Moreover, these trees are also imported from Moonlight City. Uh, I drew it wrong again."
He balled up the paper into a ball again, without even looking at it, and threw it accurately into the trash can. Then he said seriously to me: "Don't talk to me when you are drawing the drawings, it is easy to get distracted."
I apologized, then sat down at the table obediently, stretching my arms and not daring to move.
This painting lasted several hours, and Masters Dewey and Hall each completed half of a ghost painting.
The two old men put down their pens, rubbed their eyes, and squinted at the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Then they stood up and said, "We're done today, we'll continue tomorrow."
I followed the two old men out of the secret room obediently. Master Hall left first. He was going to change clothes and come back for dinner.
After Master Hall disappeared, Master Dewey said, "How are the inventors I sent to Moonlight City doing now?"
I truthfully explained the current situation of the goblin assistance team to him, and Dewey nodded: "They are all elites I specially selected for you. They are a trump card in my hand."
"I understand, godfather," I said respectfully, "I will do my best to protect their safety."
"No." Dewey shook his head: "It's not that you protect them, but that they protect you. If it comes to a life-or-death situation, even if they are all killed, they still have to keep you safe."
"This" I was speechless for a long time and said, "They are your trump cards."
"Is it important for Ace to have a son?" Dewey said lightly: "I only have one son that I like, but I have many Aces. Even if they are all killed now, I can immediately find a group of replacements. The reason why I and you What I say is that if one day they choose to commit suicide to protect you, you don’t need to have any psychological burden.”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but say: "Then their families."
"I have properly arranged their families. Otherwise, do you think they would really sacrifice their lives for me for no reason?"
Dewey looked at me with a faint smile. That smile was exactly the kind of loving smile a father would show after hearing his child's innocent remarks.
Seeing Master Dewey's expression and momentum at this moment, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, I accidentally became his godson, not just a dispensable chess piece.
At the same time, I was also afraid of Master Dewey's cruelty. Is this the cruelty of the imperial family?
Just as he was thinking about it, a goblin suddenly walked over in a hurry, his face expressionless, but his eyes sparkled.
He walked quickly to Dewey, stopped, looked up at me, his eyes were sharp and full of vigilance.
Dewey said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. He is my son, there is no need to avoid it."
"Yes," the goblin said, "Ai Rui City sent a messenger, requesting an interview with the dwarf king and my king. The two kings are now in the drawing room, waiting for your instructions."
"The envoy of Airui City" Dewey snorted: "Then let's meet him."
"Yes" the goblin responded, bowed and left.
"The messenger from Airei City." Dewey said to himself.
Seeing that he was distracted, I hummed softly: "Godfather, do you want me to step aside?"
"What are you avoiding?" Dewey's eyes were sharp and he said calmly: "Suddenly sending an envoy here for no reason. The person who came here must be evil. Come on, you come with me to the living room, meet this envoy, and I will give you a lot of insights."
When we arrived at the living room, the Dwarf King and the Goblin King sat on the left and right respectively. Master Dewey sat under the Goblin King, and I was arranged to sit under Master Dewey.
Not long after, a man with a majestic appearance in gorgeous clothes walked into the hall, stopped a dozen meters away from the two kings, stopped, and bowed: "I've seen the dwarf king, and I've seen the goblin king."
The dwarf king said: "Without courtesy, what is the reason why the envoy is here?"
The envoy said respectfully: "The king has sent me here to make good relations with your country."
After that, he talked a lot, mostly praising and complimenting Fort Vicky. At the same time, he also pointed out how prosperous the city of Airey was, how strong its economic strength was, and how many powerful adventurers there were among them. He especially pointed out Achilles. This powerful man from the legendary heroic age.
After hearing all this, the dwarf king remained silent, and the goblin king said calmly: "Thank you for your compliment. Let's get straight to the point and explain your true intention of coming here this time."
The waiter was silent for a moment and said: "King Bing Goblin, my real intention of coming here this time is to hope that your country can restore old friendship with Airui City and send professors and scholars here. At the same time, the king will also send professors and scholars who are proficient in breeding and taming animals to assist. Your country, this move will not only strengthen the friendship between the two countries, but also prosper each other.”
"Breeding and taming animals?" The dwarf king chuckled: "If we really want to learn how to breed and tame animals, we can contact Dashai City. Why go all the way to find you?"
"What the Dwarf King said is true, but I hope you understand that the significance of this move is not to breed and tame animals, but to strengthen the friendship between the two countries." The envoy said: "Based on the current national strength, the strongest country is naturally your country. , followed by our country, followed by Moonlight City, followed by Dasai City and York Han City. York Han City is a barren land and is not a concern. Although Da Sai City’s national power is weak, its territory is extremely vast and the land is fertile. There are flocks of sheep and minerals are abundant. I dare to tell you, except for the rich minerals, there is nothing in your country that can match the city of Dasai. The resources of the most powerful country are not as much as those of the weak ones. Are you willing to do so?"
The Dwarf King and Goblin King were silent.
The messenger continued: "My king has always respected the bravery of the dwarf king and the cleverness of the goblin king. Naturally, he was unwilling to watch your country suffer this injustice. He stayed awake for several nights and finally came up with a brilliant plan to solve this trouble for your country."
The dwarf king said: "Say."
The envoy said: "My king hopes to form an alliance with your country, and join hands to annex Dasai City, which has rich resources but does not know how to make good use of it. At the same time, two-thirds of the land will be returned to your country. Our country only needs the remaining one-third. Just one piece of land is enough. In this way, your country will have a lasting source of supplies, and from now on, you will no longer have to worry about resources."
"Yes." The dwarf king nodded slightly, with an indifferent expression on his face.
The Goblin King said: "According to your analysis, I, Fort Vicky, have taken a big advantage!"
"That's right," the messenger said.
"However, there is no free pie in this world. You have driven away and killed many adventurers of our tribe before, and you have come to join us again this time." The Goblin King sneered: "I'm afraid you are not sincere enough."
