The smiles of the councilmen were strange yet bright.
That's right!
Who said that the Mist is our enemy?
Shouldn't the enemy of my enemy be my friend?
They were very familiar with this kind of operation.
Especially when they had the God of War as their target, it was even more so.
After all, compared to them, the Mist, who was almost a true God, was more concerned about the God of War who had ascended and occupied Aïtantin Castle.
"But we will have to pay a heavy price.
"Moreover, such a negotiation is very likely to be even more dangerous."
Kurtzargert, is he willing? "
The hot-tempered councilman said with furrowed brows.
Although he was hot-tempered, since he was able to become a councilman, he wasn't an idiot.
"He will be willing.
He won't give up everything he has now easily.
Because he is the same as us.
"Whatever he thinks, we'll know."
Likewise, he will also know what we think. "
The friendly councilman said slowly.
"So, do we need to provide more 'support'?"
The gloomy councilman asked.
The councilman sounded very calm, there wasn't any anger in his tone.
Everything was just a disguise.
Someone chose to be the good guy, so someone else had to be the good guy. Of course, they also needed someone who could mediate the situation.
As for the rest?
The distribution was done, all they had to do was watch.
"Mm.
"That's a must."
After all, Kurtzargert will have to risk his life. "
The friendly councilman nodded.
The other councilmen nodded as well.
At this point, the secret communication ended.
Everyone returned to the council hall.
"Kurtzargert, don't be anxious.
"We won't let anything happen to you. We can provide more assistance, and you can use it to convince the Demon Hunters!"
The friendly councilman said.
"Convince the Demon Hunters?"
Are you kidding me?
If those bastards are that easy to convince, what happened back then wouldn't have happened. "
Bloody Mary laughed coldly.
"Where there is a will, there is a way!
"The Demon Hunters back then were the Wolf Sect!"
And now …
It's Snake School!
"The two of us have different ways of doing things, which means that we are destined to have great achievements. Besides, do you really have the heart to give up everything that you have now?"
The councilman asked in a friendly tone.
Bloody Mary cooperated and kept quiet.
The silence made the southern councilmen laugh in their hearts.
They knew that Kurtzargert was tempted.
What should I do now?
It was just a matter of how much they would have to pay.
They were not worried about this.
Just like how it was difficult for a commoner to imagine the income of a lord, the wealth of a leader who secretly ruled over various Extraordinary factions in the south was also beyond imagination.
However, they also underestimated Bloody Mary's ambition.
"I need at least 300 magic tools and equipment."
"I want the best!"
"Don't try to fool me!"
Bloody Mary's words caused the southern councilmen to hold their breaths.
They were prepared to bleed a lot, but they did not expect Kurtzargert to ask for so much.
Three hundred pieces of Fine Magic Tools and Equipment were not cabbages.
In fact, 300 Superior grade items and equipment was already a huge expenditure in the eyes of most people. As for the enchantment? Even a lord like Sicar couldn't afford it.
Only a lord with a trading port could even consider it.
But even if they could afford it, they would go bankrupt.
Therefore, the southern councilmen rejected at the very next moment.
"No!"
"This is impossible!"
"It's too much!"
The councilmen were loud and clear.
Bloody Mary crossed its arms and sat back down, chuckling coldly.
"There are 14 of you, not one.
What's the big deal about gathering 300 pieces of Fine Magic Tools and Equipment?
Don't think I don't know what you people are up to in Qitar Bay. "
Bloody Mary tapped the table with its finger.
The southern councilmen went silent again.
They had no doubt that Kurtzargert knew something, just like how they also knew some of Kurtzargert's shady business. It was a mutual thing, but for them to gather 300 pieces of Fine Magic Tools and Equipment was too much.
Unconsciously, the southern councilmen's gazes were focused on a single point.
As the person in charge of Qitar Bay, the friendly councilman felt the gazes. He went into deep thought for a while and said, "Kurtzargert, it's a little too much! 150 pieces is the limit! "
150 pieces!
Bloody Mary squinted its eyes.
It was much more than it expected.
The price it had in mind was 100 pieces.
But now?
"280 pieces!"
Perfect, 20 pieces for each of you! "
Bloody Mary's tone was calm, as if it was talking about two baked buns and not the wealth that could amass a few lands.
"Impossible, Kurtzargert!
You … "
"Then don't talk anymore!
I'll head to the outskirts of Mozaar right now! "
"As for the rest?
I'll leave it to you guys!
If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I'll give you a toast. I'm thankful that you fools caused this mess and that you're still alive. I'm also thankful that I'm still alive. "
After that, Bloody Mary stood up and walked out of the room without further ado.
"Kurtzargert!
Kurtzargert!
Wait! "
Bloody Mary turned a deaf ear to the calls from behind it.
If it was putting on an act, it had to go all the way.
It knew the saying.
So, the moment it stepped out of the council hall, it closed the door.
It then walked towards Horlaika, who had packed up his belongings.
The luggage that was enough to fill up a wagon was very eye-catching in Silent Night Town.
A lot of Silent Night Secret Order members gathered around, looking at Horlaika in confusion.
Because of the hierarchy of Silent Night Secret Order, the common members dared not simply speak, but they knew after the Council Meeting, everything changed.
It was then that Bloody Mary walked over.
They had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Bloody Mary walked to its own luggage and paused for a moment. It turned around and looked at the subordinates around it, its eyes showing loneliness and unwillingness.
After some hesitation, Bloody Mary sighed and said, "I'm sorry, everyone.
I'm sorry, everyone.
We had some life-threatening crisis before this, it involved everyone and the whole organization. So, Colipo and I started the Council Meeting, but accidents happened and it put us in a very passive position.
What made us even more passive was that the southern councilmen's subordinates acted on their own, it made our passive position even more deadly.
I've decided to leave Aïtantin Castle.
If anyone wants to leave, please leave on your own. I assure you, this isn't a betrayal, you won't be hunted down by anyone!
Whether you go to the north or the south, or even hide your identity, it's up to you.
"Remember!"
Live on! "
Bloody Mary couldn't hold back the sorrow on its face anymore, its voice getting heavier.
It sounded like …
It sounded like it was choking with sobs.
"Councilman, what happened?"
"Yeah, councilman, what happened?"
"Why do we have to leave Silent Night Town?"
The people around Bloody Mary asked.
Humans were social animals, especially towards their 'home', they had an unforgettable feeling.
Now that someone told them to leave their home, no one could accept it.
Especially …
The reason was caused by outsiders.
That's right, outsiders!
The southern councilmen were outsiders in the eyes of the people of Silent Night Town.
They weren't responsible for their lives, didn't protect their safety, and even caused trouble for them. If they weren't outsiders, then what were they?
Subconsciously, many people looked at the meeting hall with murderous intent.
It was the kind of killing intent that could seep into one's bones!
Their home was gone.
Anyone would risk their life for it.
More so, the people of Silent Night Town weren't some pushovers.
Every single one of them had extraordinary physique, battle techniques, and many of them even mastered secret techniques.
Their presence was naturally different from common men.
When they gathered together, it made Horfe and the other southern representatives' scalp numb.
They knew if Silent Night Town really fell apart, they wouldn't survive either.
Because before the people of Silent Night Town left, they would surely skin them alive.
Instinctively, the representatives looked at their councilmen.
The councilmen looked at each other.
They didn't feel Kurtzargert's determination anymore.
He didn't even take a step back. No, he took a step back.
But that step was too small, wasn't it?
"What should we do?"
The hot-tempered councilman asked.
"Things are much more serious than we thought.
Kurtzargert's attitude makes me feel like he is purposely making things difficult for us so that he can leave Aïtantin Castle.
Listen to his voice just now, it's so pretentious! "
The gloomy councilman replied.
"I know!
I'm asking, what should we do now?
"Also, did you order your men to cause trouble?"
The hot-tempered councilman waved his hand.
The question infuriated the gloomy councilman.
He did mention something similar when his men left, so he didn't know whether his men really caused trouble for Kurtzargert or not.
After all, the man was dead.
Who could he ask?
But in his heart, he acknowledged it.
His men must have caused trouble for Kurtzargert.
But …
That damn bastard!
Why can't he distinguish the severity of the matter?
The gloomy councilman cursed in his heart.
On the surface?
His voice got gloomier.
"That's what everyone agreed on, including you!"
He retorted.
"Hmph!
"So?"
You want us to bear the consequences of your mistake? "
The hot-tempered councilman retorted.
"You want to leave now?
"You think you can run?"
The gloomy councilman mocked.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
The hot-tempered councilman's projection stood up. Although the projection only showed him, judging from his movements, he must have kicked the table in front of him away.
The gloomy councilman sat there without moving, but the aura on his body was distorting the projection.
Both sides were on the verge of breaking out.
They were a temporary alliance after all.
Where did the stable conditions come from? Moreover, both sides had been scheming against each other and clashing in the dark for all kinds of benefits in the south. Now, all of it exploded.
"Enough!"
The kind councilman said.
It was hard to guarantee that the councilman would be kind at this moment.
He knew what these bastards were trying to do.
They just didn't want to bear the burden of more 'support'.
They wanted him to pay the big price.
The argument before his eyes?
Of course it was fake.
Everything was for benefits.
Kurtzargert was.
These bastards were.
So was he.
He really wanted to spit on these people's faces and tell them that it was just wishful thinking.
But …
He couldn't do that.
An unknown God.
A bastard that was close to a God.
This was unexpected and he had to deal with it. Even if he couldn't deal with it cleanly, he had to stall the other party. Therefore, he needed Kurtzargert.
Qitar Bay could not be lost!
That was his key!
Huu!
He took a deep breath.
The councilman spoke.
"I'll pay 20% and you guys can have the rest?
Don't think too much.
"This is already my limit."
After hearing what the councilman said, the rest of the councilmen heaved a breath of relief and felt pity at the same time.
Was it too direct?
It should have been more tactful.
It was all Kurtzargert's fault, he left in a hurry.
He didn't even leave any leeway.
As the councilmen criticized in their hearts, they started to order their men.
Horfe ran away right away.
Under many hostile gazes, he ran up to Bloody Mary.
"Councilman Kurtzargert, the councilmen have agreed to your terms."
"Agreed?"
Bloody Mary pretended to be stunned.
Its reaction made the southern councilmen, who were watching through the mirage, laugh coldly in their hearts.
'As expected, you are just looking for an excuse to run away.
'You can't run away!'
Another exchange of gazes. The southern councilmen already had a plan in their hearts.
They wouldn't delay!
They would send the 280 magical items to Aïtantin Castle right away and meet the representative of Snake School right away for a discussion.
Under everyone's gazes, Bloody Mary returned to the council hall.
Nothing could be seen on its face but the southern councilmen saw a sense of unwillingness in Bloody Mary's eyes.
So, there was no hesitation.
The friendly councilman signaled his man, Horfe, with his eyes.
Horfe was the last to come in, he didn't close the door.
"I agree to your terms, Kurtzargert.
We will use 280 magical items in exchange for the forgiveness of the Snake School Demon Hunter.
Now, we need to meet the representative.
Can you send someone to inform the Snake School Demon Hunter? "
Said the friendly councilman.
His voice was loud.
The residents of Silent Night Town outside the door heard it loud and clear.
"What I want is the best!"
Bloody Mary repeated.
However, from the southern councilmen's point of view, such words were nothing but a struggle before death.
Somehow, the southern councilmen who were a little unwilling to accept the outcome were in a good mood at that moment.
"Of course, I promise."
Said the friendly councilman, looking at the other councilmen at the same time.
"We promise as well."
The other councilmen agreed at the same time.
"Fine."
Bloody Mary clenched its teeth and waved at Horlaika.
The gesture made the southern councilmen feel more comfortable. All of them sat in their chairs and waited patiently.
