Chapter 2248
The appearance of the Lord of the living corpse is indeed quite mysterious, so that most people present still don't understand how he appeared. But compared with this mysterious and powerful guy, the arrival of Gemini doesn't seem to be too surprising.
No, not only is there nothing strange, but it even makes people feel a little silly - because the twin corpses came by boat like Muggles!
"In fact, I can tell you a secret that is not a secret by the way." the Lord of the living corpse sat at the table, turned his head slightly, looked at the fast boat that was landing near the reef beach not far away, and said casually, "The strength of the living corpses will decrease slightly after they leave the cloud that contains the power of soul rules - of course, the change range is not too large, which is not the reason why they choose to come by boat. The reason why they cross the sea by boat is purely because they don't have magic talent related to long-distance and fast movement."
"You are the object of their sworn allegiance. Is it appropriate to expose their weaknesses?" Safina asked him after hearing it.
But who knows, the black figure sitting in front of the table just calmly said:
"Of course... It is precisely because they all trust me that I will do so, and I am not worried that they will misunderstand me when they know. Because they will believe that even if everything I do is not necessarily for their good, at least it is impossible to harm them."
Now that the other side has said so, even if "outsiders" such as Safina have some senseless sense of justice, they can't question and intervene any more. What's more, even if there is a cooperative negotiation next, at least before the negotiation is successful, both the corpse and mankind are complete enemies.
Safina is also well aware that it is probably the stupidest act in the world to show mercy to the enemy.
As a result, there was another silence on the tower platform.
To be honest, we have been silent a little too many times these days. Such a repressive and slightly negative atmosphere will more or less suppress everyone's enthusiasm and courage.
Fortunately, the silence did not last too long. The Gemini had climbed the platform step by step through the stairs of the tower and appeared in front of a group of wizards.
"Good morning, master... We're late."
As soon as they appeared, the living corpse brothers and sisters immediately ignored a large number of wizards on the platform and directly came to the owner to say hello. After the owner shook his head and didn't blame him, they turned back and nodded to the Wizards around, and then stood silently behind the owner, as if they had become two thugs and bodyguards.
Of course, we have never seen a bodyguard who is thinner than our owner.
At this time, the Lord of the corpse finally took back his sight from the outside sea and looked for the first time at miss Lovegood sitting opposite the table.
"The participants from both sides of the negotiation have arrived, so... This must be the candidate to negotiate with us instead of you, isn't it?"
"Yes, this is Miss Luna Lovegood, one of my best and most trusted friends." Hermione, who stood aside, seriously replied, "in today's negotiation, I decided to give her full power to express our views."
When Hermione said this, she was still a little nervous, even though she had already made a decision.
As for the other party... The Lord of the corpse sitting opposite Luna doesn't seem to have any abnormal reaction.
"Well," the black figure nodded gently and then said, "let's start! First of all, let me repeat the ultimate purpose of this negotiation again - I hope to promote the alliance and cooperation between human beings and living corpses and jointly defeat the incarnations of great crimes that should not appear in this world... That is, the so-called 'demons'."
"Including yourself?"
Safina stared at him and said this coldly, which immediately made the Gemini eyes standing behind the Lord of the living corpse show a fierce light. But soon, Safina was pulled behind by Delphi standing aside.
"I'm sorry," Hermione had to say, "I just said that miss Lovegood had full authority to negotiate. What Miss Geoffrey said just now didn't count."
It's really inappropriate for people to choke at the beginning. After all, it's a cooperative negotiation. Even if the negotiation fails or even collapses in the end, it should be the exchange of interests in the negotiation, rather than such very straightforward offensive words.
Although... Safina's question is indeed a key question.
"Well..."
After glancing at Safina, the Lord of the corpse, or the devil "greed", did not give a very clear answer to this question.
"I understand that there are some fundamental contradictions between the living corpse and human beings, demons and human beings. It seems that both of us... Or the three of us, can not become forever friends. But even if we need to return to the hostile relationship one day, at least at this stage, we may not be able to cooperate... Miss Lovegood, right? What do you think ?”
These words seem clear, but any place where decisions will need to be made seems a little ambiguous. But at least, he did put out a feasible idea for the problem that everyone is most concerned about at present.
Being a friend now and an enemy in the future is a very simple stage of compromise negotiation. When the fact of cooperation is beneficial to both sides, such negotiations do have value - at least Hermione thinks so.
However, she is not the one who is negotiating on behalf of the human wizard, so she can only put her ideas in her stomach and watch Luna's back silently.
She could feel that although Luna was silent and looked in a trance, her attention was still on the big dark man across the table.
"Well?"
Luna blinked, her eyes a little floating, and she didn't know whether the focus was on the other party or not. She only looked at the other side with her head tilted for a while before she said in a faint way:
"Can you tell me... Should we cooperate or not? I don't quite understand what you said... Why does a demon want to deal with other demons? Aren't you all demons?"
No, not only is there nothing strange, but it even makes people feel a little silly - because the twin corpses came by boat like Muggles!
