After thinking about it for a bit, Joseph felt that this method was very feasible. Everyone was now discussing the division of territories, and the most important thing was the boundaries of their territories. Some people's territories were cut out a bit, while some people's territories were expanded a bit. It all depended on who had the bigger fist.
Just like now, the Cloud Tower had suffered disastrous losses in the Raging Flame Plane, but a 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse, Clombton, came. Now, when it came to dividing benefits and territories, everyone couldn't help giving face to the Cloud Tower and letting the Cloud Tower get a large piece of territory.
"Isn't there a small piece of the Four Seasons Plain between our territories? We can divide that small piece in two and draw a boundary in the middle. We don't need to fight over it. It was originally an irregular area, so it wouldn't be good to divide it again. After adding that small piece of the Four Seasons Plain, we can make up for it …"
Joseph smiled as he gave this suggestion to the quarreling Black Flame Beastman.
'That greedy Beastman definitely wouldn't let go of such a fat piece of meat. How could Mafa Merlin, who isn't even at the Heaven Rank, dare to resist if he joins hands with that guy?
'The Merlin Family doesn't even have a single Heaven Rank powerhouse in the Raging Flame Plane, yet they still dare to have such a rich territory? What a waste. In any case, it would be snatched away by others sooner or later, so it would be better for our Shadow Tower to take advantage of it. Moreover, we are only taking a third, doesn't he still have two-thirds?'
Joseph was full of confidence. He didn't even think about whether Lin Yun would be willing or not, but he suddenly discovered that the chaotic meeting room had become silent.
The group looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions were strange and frightening.
And in front of him, that Black Flame Beastman, who had been as greedy as a goblin, suddenly had a serious expression. He was staring at his fingers as if he was studying a difficult problem. He was so focused that he didn't seem to have heard Joseph's words.
Joseph was a bit unhappy. He had found a way to satisfy both sides with great difficulty, but that stupid black-skinned Beastman actually didn't want to cooperate. A third of the Four Seasons Plain was definitely worth more than half of their territories.
'Such a good opportunity … That stupid and greedy guy definitely wants to get more benefits, right? Damn it, even half of the territory isn't enough to satisfy this greedy fellow's appetite. If I knew this would happen, I would have discussed it with him in advance …
"Sir Blake, what do you think of my suggestion? This is a perfect plan. There can't be a better plan than this. This way, there will be a clear dividing line between our two territories, and there won't be any conflicts because of the territory. How great is that?"
Joseph had a confident smile on his face. Without asking for Lin Yun's opinion, he was ready to divide up Lin Yun's territory.
The surrounding people stopped discussing and looked at Joseph in amusement. On the Beastmen's side, many Beastmen had strange smiles on their faces. They looked at Joseph's smile as if they were looking at an idiot.
Next to Joseph, Quicksand Tower's Slythrin couldn't help raising his head to look at Joseph. Then, he stealthily moved a bit to the side, as if afraid of being too close to Joseph and being infected by his stupidity.
'Stupid guy, he actually had ideas about Mafa Merlin, he is truly stupid. Those brainless Slimes of the prairie are a bit smarter than that guy.
'Could it be that the Shadow Tower hasn't been hurt? 'Stupid guy, the Shadow Tower's commanders in the Raging Flame Plane have all been eliminated. That Birbo inexplicably died in the Abyss. Does that guy really think that Birbo's death was an accident?
'Whoever believes that is an idiot. That treacherous Birbo was an assassin mage. Even if he reincarnated as a Demon, his chances of survival would always be higher than other mages. That idiot Morgan didn't die in the Abyss, but Birbo died?
'Could it be that this isn't enough to wake up the Shadow Tower? 'Damn, I thought that the Shadow Tower had been so well-behaved during this time because they knew about what happened in the Holy Mountain. I hadn't expected them to send such an idiot to negotiate.
'Truly an idiot, trying to plunder Mafa Merlin's territory? 'And only a bit? Does he think that everyone else is an idiot? The Four Seasons Plain was inserted between the Shadow Tower and the Black Flame Beastmen's territory, occupying close to a third of the Four Seasons Plain's territory.
'Moreover, a lot of precious resources have recently appeared in that part of the territory. In terms of value, it definitely accounts for half of the resources produced by the Four Seasons Plain.
'How could that kind of idiot survive until this day? Mafa Merlin isn't a Heaven Rank powerhouse, yet he came to this place full of Heaven Rank powerhouses to negotiate. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?
'Idiot, can't you see that the two 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses aren't expressing any objections? The Black Flame Beastmen's territory is bordering Mafa Merlin's territory, why didn't he look for Mafa Merlin to discuss the issue of dividing the territories?
'He has no brains, he doesn't know how to think about it. Damnit, being together with that kind of idiot is definitely polluting my intelligence …'
After a dozen seconds of strange silence, Joseph seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't care. He was the best negotiator in the Shadow Tower. Every time there was a problem with the Shadow Tower, Joseph would be the one to negotiate.
This was a crucial negotiation regarding the division of benefits, so the Shadow Tower specially summoned Joseph from Noscent. Unfortunately, they forgot to remind him of some things.
Joseph once again looked for Blake.
"Sir Blake, could it be that you didn't hear my suggestion? Are you still not satisfied with such a good method? This is already my bottom line, I won't keep conceding. Giving you half of the Four Seasons Plain is already the biggest concession I can make …"
Amidst the strange silence, Morgan, Raphael, and even Dedale were looking at Joseph with a trace of ridicule. Everyone had made up their minds to avoid coming into contact with the idiots of the Shadow Tower as soon as possible.
'These guys have a bad reputation to begin with, it's luck that their mage tower hasn't been pushed down, yet they still dared to carelessly provoke enemies. This is simply stupid, it's even more loathsome than being weak.'
During the strange silence, Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes. Lin Yun had an indifferent expression as he indifferently glanced at Blake and then at Joseph.
In an instant, Blake's dark-skinned face became a little frightening. If it wasn't for his dark skin, one would definitely be able to see that his face was pale and bloodless …
'Damned Joseph, that idiot should have had his head crushed by a God. It's fine if you provoked that terrifying Mafa Merlin, but why did you drag me into it?!
'Isn't it just a bit of territory? I'll give it to you, does that guy need to frame me like this?
'That idiot definitely doesn't know how terrifying Mafa Merlin is. He hasn't even reached the Heaven Rank yet, yet he can get rid of a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Sir Cross personally said that Mafa Merlin has already reached the limits of the Archmage realm and could advance to the Heaven Rank at any time.
'After that terrifying guy advances to the Heaven Rank, apart from Sir Cross, no one would be his opponent.
'Moreover, he has a terrifying puppet army under his command, as well as three powerful ancient races and an incomparably huge battleship.
'That damned guy definitely didn't see that. That battleship almost blasted through the Holy Mountain and tore a hole in the God Nation.
'That idiot definitely had his head kicked by a Pig Beastman, he definitely doesn't know that. Damnit, he actually went to provoke Mafa Merlin, I don't want to die …'
Seeing that Joseph was about to open his mouth again with a dissatisfied expression, Blake hastily said, "Joseph, right?
"Joseph, right? You win. The mountain range bordering our territory is yours. The area to the north of the mountain range is our territory. The area to the south of the mountain range is all yours. There's no need to fight for it. It's all yours …"
Joseph was a bit surprised, but he quickly smiled.
"Sir Blake, how could we do that? We're talking about fairness, so let's split the Four Seasons Plain equally between our territories …" Sherlock said with a smile.
Blake glanced at Cross and found out that Cross was also looking at Joseph as if he was an idiot. He then sighed in relief.
He then squeezed out a smile and looked around.
"Everyone, I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters to take care of, so I'll be leaving first. The issue of our Black Flame Beastmen's territory ends here. We are already satisfied with our current territory."
After a pause, Blake looked at the indifferent Lin Yun and squeezed out an unsightly smile.
"Lord Merlin, our territories are bordering each other. If you have time, you can come to our Black Flame Beastmen's territory as a guest. We are rich in a kind of Golden-furred Pig Beastman. It's a delicacy unique to the Raging Flame Plane, and it also has the effect of improving one's constitution. There are very few of them, and those who try them won't be disappointed."
Lin Yun nodded.
"Alright, Sir Blake, if you have time, you can come to the Grey Beastmen's fort as a guest."
Blake was overjoyed at those words and promptly nodded.
"Good, good, good, I've long admired Lord Merlin's Steel City and have always wanted to experience it. I'll go back and take care of some matters before immediately going as a guest. At that time, I'll let Lord Merlin have a taste of our Black Flame Beastmen's specialty."
Blake happily left, and the other Beastmen also had envious expressions. The original name of the Grey Beastmen's fort of the Four Seasons Plain had long since been forgotten. They only remembered that it was a steel fort.
That place might not be the largest fort in the Raging Flame Plane, but it was definitely the most flourishing fort. Even in a state of war, Beastmen and Humans could coexist peacefully there. Under the deterrence of the puppet guards, anyone who dared to challenge the rules of the steel fort would die.
Many Beastmen were extremely envious, but unfortunately, they didn't dare to rashly go there to trade. Now that Lin Yun had personally agreed, the others naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
Cross smiled and was the first to speak.
"Lord Merlin, I've admired Steel City for a very long time. I've wanted to experience that flourishing place since the first time I heard about it. I wonder if Lord Merlin would welcome me?"
Cross opened his mouth and Clombton also laughed.
"Yeah, after I came to the Raging Flame Plane, I wanted to see the most flourishing and most stable city, but I never had the opportunity. Lord Merlin, I believe you definitely wouldn't refuse an old man's request to experience it, right?"
Cross and Clombton took the initiative to speak, and they were very polite. The other Beastmen also spoke one after the other, saying that they wanted to visit Merlin's Steel City as guests. The humans also followed with a smile.
In an instant, over twenty Heaven Rank powerhouses from every branch of the Raging Flame Beastmen, as well as every human force, took the initiative to express their desire to pay a visit.
Some of them even forgot about the dispute over territory.
As for Joseph, he was thoroughly stunned as he looked at this scene.
Even the two 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses didn't like each other, yet they were expressing goodwill towards Lin Yun. Joseph was instantly stunned.
'Heavens, what's going on? Isn't that Mafa Merlin an Archmage? Isn't he just a bit stronger? Why are these human forces expressing goodwill towards Mafa Merlin? And those damned Beastmen actually want to visit Steel City?
'Damned b * stard, what's going on?'
No matter how slow Joseph was, he still reacted. Things seemed to be a bit different, it already exceeded his expectations.
The Black Flame Beastmen hurriedly left after expressing their goodwill. It seemed that staying there would cause their intelligence to be polluted by Joseph's stupidity.
Joseph hesitated and looked at Arnaud of the Henry Family. Although the relationship between the Shadow Tower and the Henry Family wasn't particularly good, they still cooperated. After all, the Henry Family was a merchant family among mages, and as long as they weren't hostile families, there would be some cooperation between them.
But now, Joseph looked at Arnaud with a doubtful expression. He wanted to ask Arnaud what was going on, but Arnaud only smiled at him and pretended not to see Joseph's question.
In an instant, Joseph thought of many things. Arnaud's smile could be considered a favor from the past, and now, he had nothing to do with him.
As the Shadow Tower's most proficient negotiator, Joseph's mind could be considered fast, but cold sweat started trickling down his forehead.
'It's over, it's over, which b * stard gave me that information? Is that Mafa Merlin really an ordinary member of a mage family in the Andalusia Kingdom?
'Is he really just stronger than ordinary Archmages? 'Sh * t, which idiot gave me that information? I'll definitely chop him to death when I return, I'll wring his neck.
'Damn, I'm in big trouble this time. That damned b * stard, not only did that 3rd Rank Heaven Mage express goodwill towards Mafa Merlin, even that 3rd Rank Heaven Gold Beastman treated Mafa Merlin in a friendly manner, it doesn't match the information.
'The Heaven Rank Beastman and the Heaven Rank Beastman seem a bit afraid of Mafa Merlin. He's only an ordinary member of a mage family in the countryside?
'Damnit, this is an insult to my intelligence. No wonder no one cared about Mafa Merlin's territory even though everyone was fighting over benefits and territories.'
'Sh * t, don't tell me those uncontested territories belong to Mafa Merlin?
'Then wouldn't his territory be bigger than everyone else's? 'Apart from the Four Seasons Plain, there are at least three or four fertile territories that belong to him.
'Oh, sh * t, I was tricked by that idiot Blake. No wonder he didn't look for Mafa Merlin to discuss this matter even though his territory bordered the Four Seasons Plain.
'It's over, I provoked a big problem this time. I should have known that the Shadow Tower couldn't afford to offend someone who could live until now after offending the Shadow Tower …'
Joseph's face was pale as he thought of the unimaginable punishment he would receive if this matter were to spread back to the Shadow Tower. Being thrown into a magic mine to dig for ores might be the best outcome.
Joseph immediately wanted to bow his head, but a group of Heaven Rank powerhouses and Beastman powerhouses were surrounding Lin Yun. He simply couldn't do anything. 'Do I have to apologize in front of so many people? Admit my stupidity? '
Joseph lowered his head and kept struggling. By the time he raised his head, he discovered that Lin Yun had already disappeared.
The division of the group's benefits was more or less complete. It was basically that whoever occupied the territory now belonged to whoever occupied it. As for the territories bordering the humans and Beastmen, there was enough buffer zone left. In order to prevent conflicts, that area belonged to the Gong Gong Zone and no one had the right to occupy it.
The group of mages had already done most of the work and the Beastmen had already left.
At this time, Morgan walked to Joseph's side with a trace of regret. He looked at Joseph from head to toe, and his mouth made a clicking sound.
"Joseph, I used to think that you were as astute as Fox. No, I should say that you are cunning. How come you are acting like a stupid Pig Beastman today? Moreover, you are the kind of Pig Beastman raised by humans to be slaughtered and eaten.
"You actually dared to brazenly plunder the Lord Merlin's territory, and you are still alive. This is truly inconceivable. No, it should be said that your luck is really good. The Lord Merlin doesn't feel like paying attention to you. Otherwise, believe me, if the Lord Merlin wanted to get rid of you, no one here would stop the Lord Merlin …"
Morgan patted Joseph's shoulder before leaving the meeting room. Arnaud expressionlessly walked next to Joseph and coldly glanced at him.
"Sir Joseph, it's already the best I can do to remind you not to be stupid. Fortunately, you're not too stupid."
As the Heaven Rank powerhouses left, Cross also led the Beastmen away.
After leaving, a Heaven Rank Beastman doubtfully asked Cross, "Don't worry.
"Sir Cross, why do we fancy that human mage?"
