Chapter 1022 Treaty
"The deepest part is right here..."
After receiving such a divination result, Ronald and Nicole separated on the deck.
However, until Ronald returned to the cabin, he still didn't understand this prompt.
Based on the literal meaning of divination, he could list some possible outcomes.
However, too little information cannot determine the true result, and false speculation will affect people's normal judgment of things. So in the end, Ronald could only give up looking for answers in this regard for the time being.
Just like Nicole told him.
This kind of divination is indeed not comparable to real prediction spells, and can only give people a vague hint that may not be useful.
"..."
"Boss, can I still disembark and visit other people's homes tomorrow?"
"I made an appointment with Sir Radat from the north of the city, and I want to learn the local food customs from him!"
As soon as we returned to the cabin .
Ronald just opened the door, and what greeted him was El's inquiry.
He squinted his eyes and found El lying on the porthole that he had damaged before but had now been repaired. Kostat was holding El's thigh with one hand and pressing her back with the other to push her against the wall to prevent this guy from escaping directly through the porthole.
"..."
"Costat, put her down first."
Ronald waved the maid to let go of Il first. Then, seeing Ronald present, Il naturally did not dare to continue running away, but the old He knelt down on the ground and looked at Ronald with pitiful eyes:
"Boss, didn't you just say that people should be trustworthy?"
"I've already made an appointment with someone, and you don't want me to do it. Is he a person who breaks his promise and breaks his promise?"
Because he had mastered the fragment of Il's soul, Ronald could tell at a glance that this guy still had luck in his heart, and his real purpose was to enjoy life by relying on his own abilities.
So Ronald rolled his eyes at El, turned around and sat on the bed, flipping through his books, and then continued to say to El: "
You'd better give me a rest."
"Something big is going to happen tomorrow, all important things will happen." It's best for everyone to stay on the ship."
"Big deal?" Il's expression was still disappointed when she heard Ronald rejected her, but after hearing the next sentence, she immediately became interested. "Something big will happen on the ship!"
"Boss, tell me?"
Ronald didn't even look back at El:
"Why are you so honest? Don't try to use your pheromone skills to ask Me?"
"I'll try it right now!" El responded with almost no pause.
Then this guy jumped behind Ronald with his flexible body, and the moment he got close to him, he also wrapped his hands around Ronald's chest.
"Boss, have you finally figured it out today? Are you going to... ow!"
After hugging Ronald, El was about to continue her actions, but she received an elbow from Ronald in response.
Ronald knows the details of this guy El.
So in this backward move, he did not reserve any strength at all, but gave El an elbow with all his strength.
As for the result...
Il was knocked directly from the bed to the ground. Now he can only roll on the floor holding his belly, and can only come out of his mouth with a series of single-sounding bytes: "It hurts... it hurts... it hurts...
" …”
…
early the next morning.
The [Nikos] envoy who attaches great importance to this negotiation is here.
Since the king is old, the people involved in this negotiation, in addition to the officials who will definitely be present, are still led by the prince Mulsoni and his wife.
And some confidentiality elements have been taken into consideration.
As they boarded the steamer, the party's nominal reason was to visit the massive steel ship, but they said nothing about what they really wanted to talk about.
On the other hand, Claudia's side.
The leader of the fleet just reduced the number of people in yesterday's meeting to optimize the scale, basically ensuring that every force in the fleet has corresponding representatives present.
Just like that, the negotiations began.
The location was chosen by Claudia in the banquet hall of the first steamship. The dining table was originally assembled into a long oval in advance, and the tabletop was covered with velvet and some simple decorations, which made it look presentable.
Of course, Ronald couldn't run away from this meeting.
As the most powerful original code holder on the ship, he could only accept his fate and sit on the right side of Claudia during the negotiations, acting as the force representative of the entire fleet.
Moreover, when the content of the discussion reached some special nature, Ronald would also release a little bit of his magic power from time to time to scare the other party, in order to help Claudia negotiate more smoothly.
...
To be honest, this job is quite boring.
For some people who like to use force to subdue others, this may be very interesting, but Ronald just felt that he was playing monkey.
This is true both for the person across the table and for himself.
But other than that, the overall situation of the negotiations was actually quite smooth.
[Nikos] knows what he needs, so he is willing to make concessions in many aspects; and [Grid], Claudia is now able to cope with this situation.
Negotiations began in the morning, just four hours later.
A clean and tidy treaty was placed in front of the people of the two countries.
To put it simply -
the [Grad] fleet will provide help to [Nikos], break through the defense of the [Larchmont] ruins, and at the same time enjoy part of the harvest from the ruins; and as a price, [Nikos] will Accept [Grad] on the canal to build a military fortress.
After the detailed action plan and several subsequent business contracts were concluded, an open space was vacated in the center of the banquet hall, where a square ceremony table was located.
As representatives of both parties, Claudia and Morsoni stood on both sides of the table with everyone watching, and then signed the treaty and showed it to the surrounding witnesses.
Although the actual number of participants is not large, everyone knows that after the signing of this treaty, changes that neither party can ignore have actually happened around them.
At this time, Kostat suddenly asked in a low voice behind Ronald:
"Sir, this treaty is quite unfair."
"Even if [Nikos] was trying to protect himself, but he was 'conquered' by [Gred] like this, Aren’t you still losing a lot of profits?”
Hearing this question.
Ronald looked at Mulsoni who was signing the treaty.
Although this prince with a strong affinity now had that signature smile on his face, under Ronald's emotion-detection spell, he could not hide the sourness and pain in his heart.
"Alas -"
Ronald sighed softly, and then explained to Costart:
"It's the same as being a dog, and it's better to be a dog for the most powerful country in the world [Greed] than to be bullied by others. And even though it’s just a fake, but under the banner of [Gred], it’s very useful.”
