Chapter 2426 Commitment

On the list of the most difficult people to deal with in the Zephyr Continent, the number one ranking is not the cunning Carter Horton, not the 'cruel' Simmons Locke, nor the wise Master Dewey, but His Majesty the Dwarf King.

Although I, who get along very well with his old man, completely disagree with this view, it is the fact.

The main reason why the Dwarf King ranks at the top of the list is his old man's stubbornness. It is said that the Dwarf King's father, who was the previous Dwarf King, died due to his stubborn character, and the Dwarf King's grandfather, who became the Dwarf King, died , also died of stubbornness. Going back more than a dozen generations, to the ancestors of the dwarf kings, the first generation of dwarf kings who established Fort Vicky, his character was still as stubborn as a stone.

In other words, the character of stubbornness flows in the veins of the Dwarf King family along with the blood, and it is passed down from generation to generation.

As for His Majesty the Dwarf King, it is said that the poison that nearly killed him that time was also caused by his stubborn character, which made some people unhappy.

Fortunately, he had a good daughter. In order to save his father's life, he did not hesitate to risk his own life and personally sneaked into the dungeon of Airui City to pick Saladika.

But having said that, Aurora, a delicate princess who is not willing to risk her own life and refuses to obey after being surrounded by thieves and bandits, is also a kind of stubborn personality, right?

Although she has the same stubborn character, Princess Aurora is more approachable than the Dwarf King. The reason is that Princess Aurora knows how to be flexible, especially on some insignificant things, she knows how to compromise.

However, the dwarf king doesn’t understand!

He is a stubborn donkey. As long as he approves of someone, even if you throw sand into his plate, he will still laugh and eat the food. But if he doesn't like you, even give him the most delicious food in the world. He would also pour fine wine into the toilet and flush it away.

Those who are recognized by him and who recognize him at the same time think that the Dwarf King is a rare good friend and a true man in the world, but those who are not recognized by him, but who can't see how he behaves in the world, think that the Dwarf King is just a stone in the pit. Smelly and hard.

However, the vast majority of people recognized by the Dwarf King are adventurers who are not high-ranking or powerful, or who live in seclusion in the world. This group of people usually remain quiet and silent, and even if they go out, they are always in love. No matter how many people you associate with, you will never be able to make a name for yourself.

On the contrary, most of the people who are disgusted by the Dwarf King and hate the Dwarf King are dignitaries who hold real power. Naturally, they will not come forward, but they can secretly manipulate mainstream public opinion and smear the image of the Dwarf King.

Although doing so had no impact on the dwarf king's dominance, they actually had no intention of overthrowing the dwarf king's regime. They just wanted to discredit the dwarf king for their own entertainment.

Ninety percent of these people are dignitaries from various countries who have suffered losses from the dwarf king, and the remaining 10% are wealthy businessmen who look down on adventurers.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Dwarf King to gain such a bad reputation.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree, and reputation are actually very important. Most people who have never seen the Dwarf King have a preliminary understanding of the Dwarf King through the reputation that has spread.

For example, Duke Sim, who looked nervous at the moment, was shocked by the "evil reputation" of the dwarf king, and was deeply troubled by the tragic consequences of offending a monarch who was not easy to get along with.

After hearing that I had a strategy, this old man actually burst into tears with excitement and listened to my teachings. Even if he suddenly killed him with a knife at this time, this old man would definitely not be vague at all. .

In fact, it is very simple to gain the Dwarf King's forgiveness. As long as you give him enough face, everything will be solved easily.

But when it comes to giving enough face, you have to be smart enough. Especially now that Duke Sim and I have become guests on the same boat, I have to be more cautious. I can't just give up my accomplices just for the sake of my future father-in-law's face. Let's step on your old face.

So, if you want to do this well, you must start from two aspects.

"Which two aspects?" Duke Sim asked urgently.

"First, you must show up, and you must take the initiative to show up. Regardless of whether you are an innocent person who has been implicated, just because you are the protector of the Marion family, what happened yesterday will also be considered as the Marion family. To do such a bold thing at the instigation of His Excellency the Duke is like having mud in your crotch, which is either shit or shit."

Duke Sim's face was ugly, and a hint of shame and anger slowly emerged, but it was obvious that this look of shame and anger was not directed at me.

"Secondly, when admitting your mistake, you must have a clear attitude of admitting your mistake. Only when your attitude is clear and accepted by everyone, when the rumors reach the ears of His Majesty the Dwarf King, he will be more able to let go. As for what to do, It’s up to you to show your attitude of admitting your mistake, Your Majesty the Duke.”

With a heavy nasal sound, Duke Sim seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He sighed: "Thank you, Mr. Elder, for your teaching."

"I can't speak of teachings. As an elder from a foreign tribe in Moonlight City, I don't want the two countries to be at odds due to some unnecessary factors. I don't want to see a tragedy where my relatives will suffer and my enemies will be happy."

"The elder is righteous," Duke Sim complimented.

"Okay, I've come up with my ideas. Now, it's time to talk about my suggestions."

"What suggestion?" Duke Sim looked confused.

"Of course it's a suggestion on how to apologize in order to save both the face of His Majesty the Dwarf King and the face of the Duke." I smiled and said, "Are you going to listen, or refuse?"

"Is there really a way to get the best of both worlds?" Duke Sim said with bright eyes.

"If it's a big matter like life and justice, I naturally can't have the best of both worlds, but small things like apologizing and saving face can't trouble me. You haven't answered me yet. Are you going to listen or refuse?"

"If I can really get the best of both worlds, why should I refuse?" Duke Sim said with a smile: "You might as well talk about it. If it is really useful, just do as you say."

I smiled and winked at him: "But there are tuition fees."

"No problem," Duke Sim said proudly, "It's money, it's equipment, it's beauty, it's a treehouse. As long as I can afford it, I will definitely give it to you."

"You can definitely afford it." I rubbed my hands and said with a smile, "I only need a promise from you."

"What promise?" Duke Sim asked.

"If one day in the future, I need your help, I hope you can help me. Of course, this also has a prerequisite. My prerequisite is that I will not betray Moonlight City, and I will not betray the two majesties. How about it? "

Duke Sim thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh heavily: "Okay, I promise you!"
