Søren finally met the master of the Immortal Abode Island's Hai clan, Seagull!
This person's ancestors were rock people, but there were not many characteristics of rock people on him now. Although his skin was a little dark, it was much fairer than rock people.
Furthermore, he was dressed in a scholar's robe, appearing cultured and refined. He looked more like a teacher in the Royal City Academy than an overlord.
In terms of appearance, this person did not have the slightest domineering expression on his face, but looked delicate and refined.
If there was anything about this person that looked like a lord, it would be his height. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, and his arms were very long, almost reaching his knees.
Also, his eyebrows were thick and black, like that of a sleeping silkworm.
And what surprised Søren was that he was very polite at this time, and even claimed to be a foreigner.
"Why is Lord Seagull so respectful?" Søren said coldly, "I haven't done anything yet."
Seagull said, "Since the sea, I have been treating Lord Søren coldly, just to see your character."
Søren said, "Then I have obviously disappointed you. In just a few hours, I lost my patience, appearing very unsophisticated."
"No …" Seagull said, "I am very gratified by your performance."
Søren said, "Oh? Why do you say that? "
Seagull said, "Since two years ago, you have risen like a comet, almost invincible. Obviously, you are an extremely intelligent person. I don't think such an intelligent person needs to be so scheming. For someone who wants to cooperate with me, if he is too scheming, I will be very worried. "
Soran said, "But your Excellency's actions seem to be very scheming."
Seagull said, "It is because I am scheming that I hate people who are similarly scheming."
This made a lot of sense.
Seagull said, "If I am not mistaken, Lord Søren is here to discuss an alliance with me against the Rock Demon King?"
Søren was stunned. "You call him the Rock Demon King?"
Seagull said, "My ancestors are rock people, and the Rock Demon is indeed the king of the Rock Race in this world, so I naturally call him the Rock Demon King."
Søren said, "If I am not mistaken, Lord Seagull is working hard to promote de-stonesification?"
Seagull said, "Your Excellency Søren's eyes are really sharp. I have been working hard to de-stonesification for more than twenty years. This is a very complicated emotion. Maintaining the tradition of the rock people can fill my fleet with powerful combat power. But in that case, not only my leader, but also the backbone of my fleet will be filled with a sense of identity with the Rock Race. At that time, I'm afraid they will recognize the Rock King as their master. I worked hard for someone else, but I made a wedding dress for someone else. "
"Seagull" was a smart person. It was easy and difficult to negotiate with such a person.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Seagull said, "Your Excellency Søren, I believe you can see that I have been working hard to get close to the mainland. I have two countries to choose from, but I have always chosen to get close to the Raging Wave Kingdom and alienate the Yan Empire. I believe you can see the reason at a glance. "
"The Yan Empire is too strong. If you get too close, you will easily be annexed." Søren said.
"Yes." Seagull said, "I choose to get close to the Raging Wave Kingdom. It will undoubtedly be safer. That is why I chose Aslo from the beginning. It is because of his background in the Elf Continent, plus he is the first duke of the Raging Wave Kingdom. I paid thirty thousand marines as a dowry, but in the first Extermination War, my thirty thousand marines were burned by His Excellency Søren. My first plan to get close to the mainland failed. "
Søren shrugged his shoulders. When Seagull said that thirty thousand marines were burned, there was no hatred in his words, only regret and heartache.
Seagull continued, "Zhi Li thought you were dead, so he launched the second Extermination War. In order to please Zhi Li, I sent another ten thousand marines. In the end, they were all wiped out. My second plan to get close to the mainland failed again. "
Søren smiled and said, "So now, the third time to get close to the mainland has come."
Seagull said, "That's right. Duke Turin Tuo did not mind that my daughter Henar used to be with Aslo, and still let his son Tu Ningchen marry her. This made me very happy."
When these words came out, Søren was slightly surprised.
Tu Ningchen wanted to marry Henar? Leaving aside the fact that Aslo was a bastard, who knew how much Henar had been ravaged by him. The crucial point was that Tu Ningchen had already been temporarily castrated by Søren using drugs and secret arts, so he could no longer do that thing between a man and a woman.
Søren smiled and said, "Then I have to congratulate Lord Seagull. The Turin Tuo Clan is the number one clan in the Raging Wave Kingdom's military, a pillar of the kingdom."
Seagull said, "That's true, but Sir Søren's rise is too fast. Now that you and His Highness Zhi Li are on equal footing, it's still unknown who will emerge as the victor in this battle for the throne. How can my Hai Clan only bet on one side and put all our eggs in one basket? So I am incomparably encouraged and overjoyed by Sir Søren's arrival. "
Søren said, "If it was before, it would indeed be hard to say who would win between me and Zhi Li. But now, the Rock Demon has cut off all my maritime trade, and my monthly income has directly shrunk by 60%. My victory is completely based on the astronomical figure of gold. Without this 60%, I won't be able to make ends meet. This time, the Rock Demon can be said to have directly pinched my balls, making me unable to move. "
Søren was taking the initiative to show weakness.
Seagull said, "Isn't that so? The Rock Demon has the ambition of a wolf. I lent him the Thunder Islands out of kindness, but who knew that he would seize the opportunity to forcibly occupy them. Not only that, he is becoming more and more intense, constantly annexing my subsidiary islands. Moreover, he has repeatedly suppressed me in the Sea Association. Originally, my Hai Clan had 50% of the Sea Association's income, but now it's only 20%. "
Søren said, "This person is truly repulsive! Does Lord Seagull know why he wants to block my maritime trade? "
Seagull said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Søren said, "He said that he wants to form an alliance with me. He and I are half-brothers, and he said that brothers are connected by heart, unparalleled in the world."
Seagull said, "If you join hands with him, you really will be unparalleled in the world, and my Immortal Abode Island really won't be able to be protected."
Søren said, "Unfortunately, he is too domineering, and his ambition is too huge. What he wants is completely beyond my bottom line."
Seagull said, "What he wants?"
"Sky Blasting Thunder." Søren said, "My top secret weapon, the reason why I could defeat Gui Xingfu's allied army, eliminate Ma Wei's army, and scare off Turing Tuo's army was all because of this Sky Blasting Thunder. But the Rock Demon actually wants this thing from me, of course I will fall out with him. I even suggested to him that I can send troops to help him conquer Immortal Abode Island, and then completely withdraw, leaving not a single soldier behind, and completely letting him occupy Immortal Abode Island. But he still refused, and still wants the Sky Blasting Thunder. "
Hearing this, Seagull's expression changed slightly.
Søren's words were expressing his bottom line. The Rock Demon asked Søren for the Sky Blasting Thunder as a condition for forming an alliance, but was rejected by Søren, so Seagull shouldn't even mention it anymore.
Then, Seagull laughed heartily, "It seems that the Rock Demon King's ambition isn't just limited to my Immortal Abode Island."
Søren said, "We have a common enemy. You and I will form an alliance to attack the Rock Demon, and I have 70% confidence in defeating him. At that time, not only will Immortal Abode Island be safe, your Hai Clan will once again become the number one overlord of the Eastern Sea. You and I forming an alliance is a perfect fit. "
"Right, a perfect fit." Seagull said, "I hope that Your Excellency Søren will be like the rain. Your presence today brings light to my humble dwelling. "
Søren said, "Then, shall we form an alliance?"
Seagull said, "No, not just an alliance, but something even deeper."
Søren said, "I'd like to hear the details!"
"There's no rush." Seagull said, "Your Excellency Søren has traveled a long distance, and I believe you must be very hungry. If I don't entertain you with good wine and delicacies, wouldn't it be rude?"
Then, Seagull clapped his hands and said, "Serve the banquet!"
Immediately, groups of graceful girls entered one after another, and served the delicacies.
Then, they retreated one after another, leaving only one girl.
This girl's face was covered by a veil, but her beautiful eyes were like gems, bright and deep, and enchanting.
Her figure was as graceful as a willow, and she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Please!" Seagull said.
Then, both sides drank and ate, and only talked about the situation, not business.
That graceful girl just sat quietly next to Seagull, pouring wine for him without saying a word. Other than glancing at Søren at the beginning, she kept her head down, looking very quiet and shy.
…
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Seagull said, "Your Excellency Søren, shall we continue?"
"Continue," Søren said.
Seagull said, "In this battle against the Rock Demon, how many warships and naval forces can Your Excellency Søren send out?"
Søren said, "Over two hundred warships, twenty-five thousand naval forces, and fifteen griffins."
"Okay." Seagull said, "After you destroyed forty thousand naval forces, I managed to train twenty thousand new naval forces, but it's just barely enough to form an army, and their combat power isn't strong. I'll leave these twenty thousand naval forces to defend Immortal Abode Island. The remaining sixty thousand naval forces, I'll send out all of them. In addition, I'll rope in twenty thousand pirates. You and I will add up to a hundred thousand naval forces, enough to fight against the Rock Demon. "
Søren slapped the table and said, "Good! A hundred thousand against a hundred thousand, I have an eighty percent chance of defeating the Rock Demon. "
Then, Søren said, "Then, what conditions do you have, Your Excellency Seagull? Why don't you tell me directly?"
Seagull said, "Sky Deafening Thunder is your bottom line, of course I can't say it. As for the Magic Mirror Industry and the Rubble Salt Flats, although they're tempting, since the biggest trade is conducted at Pirate Harbor, I'll naturally have a share after defeating the Rock Demon. So, I won't interfere with these two pieces of fat meat, I only need one thing. "
"What is it?" Søren asked.
"Marriage." Seagull said, "Your Excellency Søren, you also know that I've been trying my best to get close to the mainland kingdom. Because Immortal Abode Island is a remote place with many mountains and little rain, it's rich in vegetables and fruits, but it's lacking in food. The reason why it's so prosperous is entirely due to maritime trade. In the future, our cooperation will deepen, and we can completely set up the Magic Mirror and Salt trade on Immortal Abode Island. By then, Immortal Abode Island will be even more prosperous. Now, I've already formed a marriage alliance with the Turin Tuo Family. Since I'm betting on both sides, I naturally need to form a marriage alliance with you. "
Søren's pupils constricted.
Although a marriage alliance wasn't completely reliable, it was the most direct way to form an alliance. It had been like that for thousands of years.
Søren said, "Then how do we form a marriage alliance?"
Seagull said, "First, your aunt, Yan Chuo 'er, marry me."
Søren shook his head and said, "No, Yan Chuo 'er's aunt is my navy's commander, I can't leave her."
Before coming to Immortal Abode Island, Søren was already worried that Seagull would raise such an embarrassing condition, so he decisively rejected it.
Seagull said, "Second, your elder sister, Suo Ningbing, marry my son, Hai Wuyan."
Søren said, "I vaguely remember that Young Master Hai Wuyan has a wife."
Seagull said, "He has women, but he doesn't have a wife. Your elder sister, Suo Ningbing, also separated from Aslo. Both of us are well-matched in terms of social status, it's a match made in heaven. "
To be honest, Seagull's condition wasn't too excessive. Purely in terms of status, Suo Ningbing and Immortal Abode Island's Young Master, Hai Wuyan, were indeed a good match.
Søren shook his head and said, "No."
Seagull's eyes flashed with anger and said, "Why not? Could it be that my son isn't worthy of your elder sister? "
Søren said, "Because of all kinds of reasons that are hard to say."
After saying that, Søren's hand directly touched Princess Jung Yeon's butt.
Of course, it wasn't because he was lecherous and couldn't wait to touch Jung Yeon, but to give Seagull a hint that his relationship with his elder sister, Suo Ningbing, wasn't pure, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Instantly, Seagull was astonished and found it hard to believe.
Of course, he wasn't astonished by the indecent relationship between Søren and Suo Ningbing, but by Søren's straightforwardness.
Søren could even reveal such a secret scandal, even though he did it in a very obscure way.
At this time, Zhuang Zhixuan, who was behind Søren, revealed an incredulous look. She still didn't know about this matter.
The little girl next to Seagull was also astonished. She looked at Søren in disbelief, and then revealed a trace of contempt and disgust.
She was still young and didn't know how to hide her eyes.
After a moment, Seagull said, "I admire Sir Søren's frankness very much, but … a real man should make prompt decisions. I think that compared with an inappropriate relationship, the future of Tianshui City is more important. What do you think? And regarding this past matter, our family won't mind. "
Søren shook his head and said, "No, I attach more importance to feelings than to the foundation of Tianshui City. I have come this far to protect the people around me, not for any ambition. "
Seagull was stunned. Looking at Søren in disbelief, he said loudly, "Absurd, foolish, you don't know what's important. This will kill you, and it will also kill your family. In order to occupy your sister, you actually rejected your only potential ally. If you were such a muddle-headed and lecherous person, how would my Hai family dare to marry you and be tied to the same warship? "
On the point of his sister Suo Ningbing, there was no room for discussion on Søren's side!
The reason why he became Søren was because of Suo Ningbing. The reason why he had come this far, to a large extent, was also because of Suo Ningbing.
He was determined to occupy Suo Ningbing for a lifetime, and no one would be able to touch her in the slightest.
Søren said, "Must there be a marriage to form an alliance? Common interests are more stable than anything else. "
"That's right, there are countless families that fall out after a marriage alliance." Seagull said, "However, a marriage alliance at least expresses the attitude of an alliance. It won't casually tear apart the alliance. If you can't even bear to part with a woman, what alliance is there to talk about? "
Søren said, "Then, for the sake of benefits, can you, Sir Seagull, give up the person you love the most?"
"Of course I can!" Seagull said angrily, "Which woman around me have you taken a fancy to? My daughter? My wife? Take her and enjoy her however you like! If a man is trapped by women, trapped by feelings, how can he have any future prospects? "
At this moment, they really couldn't see eye to eye.
Suddenly, Seagull stood up and said, "Sir Søren, my attitude is already very humble. You can't bully me anymore. If you want an alliance, either your aunt Yan Chuo 'er marries me. Or your sister Suo Ningbing marries my son, Hai Wuyan. A marriage alliance is the most basic attitude. Otherwise, there's no need for this alliance! "
