Chapter 258: The lion has a big mouth
The envoys of the eight families gathered in the Harriken line.
Falazzi, Loladis, and McCoy in the north, Lauder and Seramon in the east, and three small families. Each family sent a team of two or three to request a meeting with Ivo. Their intention was very clear, and they came for the exchange of hostages.
After successfully entering the territory, they were arranged to stay in a hotel, but Ivo did not intend to meet them, leaving them aside with a vague attitude.
The envoys of the eight families had no idea. The lord Longhouse refused their visit. Ivo is now a big figure in Lasses. They dare not make trouble, and they are here to beg for help, like an ant on a hot pot.
Two days later, an emissary thought of a way. Talper was also in the territory. Ivo had a relationship with the Linches family. They were going to ask Ivo indirectly through the Marquis of Talper.
In Linche's new villa.
"We hope to request Lord Ivo to negotiate with Barea and exchange Princess Avel for the noble hostages captured by the enemy."
"A very reasonable request." Talper nodded after hearing the request of the eight family messengers.
Millie Falazzi is the highest status among the messengers. It is the son of Count Falazzi. His father once served in the city of Lasses. After the city was destroyed, Count Falazzi was arrested in Barea. Persuade Ivo's attitude to come.
Millet has curly hair and is about twenty years old. He respectfully said: "Marquis Talper, I hope you can help us, and the Falazzi family will repay you for your kindness."
"The Loladis family will repay you for your kindness."
"McCoy..."
The eight family messengers all expressed their views.
Talper stroked the ring and slowly said, "I can facilitate this meeting, but there are some things you need to know in advance."
Millie and others nodded and listened carefully.
"I can't influence Ivo's opinion. Whether I can convince him or not depends on your sincerity. I am only responsible for facilitating the meeting. The result has nothing to do with me."
"Of course." Millie said.
Talper nodded and stood up, "Come with me."
He brought eight family messengers to the lord's longhouse, and the guards knew Talper and stepped aside.
Entering the lord’s long house, the group met Gavin in front of him. Gavin smiled and said, "Marquis Talper, what can you do with the lord?"
Talper pointed to Millie and others, "They have something to ask Ivo, and I will bring them in."
"Okay, you take them to the meeting room and wait, I'll report to Lord Lord."
The family messenger and others followed Talper to the meeting room and waited quietly.
Millet looked nervous. They were about to meet the war hero of Lasses. Rumor has it that he easily defeated the legendary Duke of Barea and captured the fierce princess Aiville. This series of crazy deeds made him feel like a pilgrimage fanaticism.
After waiting for ten minutes, the door opened and Ivo walked in. Millie and others hurriedly stood up and looked at Ivo together.
The figure under the lord's cloak is burly like a bear, his eyes are like sharp knives, and his first impression is like a white bear in the rustling north wind, exuding the aura of a strong man, and the family messenger in the meeting room subconsciously held his breath.
Millie was the first to return to his senses, covering her chest and saluting: "It's an honor to see you, I'm Millie from the Farazzi family."
Everyone introduced themselves.
"Sit down." Ivo was noncommittal, sat down on the main seat, and slowly said: "Talper said, do you want to persuade me to negotiate with Barea?"
"Yes." Millie replied, quietly paying attention to Ivo's demeanor.
Ivo was expressionless, but he was smiling in his heart. He knew that as long as he was in control of Aiville, these nobles would take the initiative to come to him. This was an opportunity to squeeze benefits.
"What about your sincerity?"
Millie and others looked at each other and said first: "The Falazzi family will remember your kindness."
Others echoed.
"Sounds like no need to talk about it." Ivo shrugged and stood up.
Millie hurriedly said: "Wait, Lord Ivo, you can talk about what you want."
Ivo sat down again, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and said straightforwardly: "I don't want much... food, minerals, herbs, standard weapons and armor, as well as magic and alchemy items. I want a sufficient share. You support the development of my territory, and I need a pair of at least inheritance-level double swords."
The eight family messengers looked at each other, and Millie asked, "Lord Ivo, these conditions are not a problem."
"When I see what I want, I give priority to negotiation." Ivo was vague.
"Just thinking?" Millie couldn't help raising his tone.
Ivo glanced at it, his tone faint, "You can also not agree to my terms."
Millie choked for a moment, and Ivo made it clear that he wanted to take advantage first. The eight family messengers were aggrieved in their hearts, but they were helpless. Ivo's current status was not something they could shake, only a compromise.
"Well, we will meet your requirements and hope you can keep your promises." Millie resolutely agreed to the conditions, but Ivogao gave him a look.
When other families saw him take the lead in expressing their views, they all agreed.
The conditions were negotiated, Millie and the others said goodbye, and went back to prepare what Ivo wanted.
Ivo knocked on the back of his hand, and besides the Lasses noble, there was another person who would also offer a price for the hostage exchange.
Pedi Huomoen, he is Aiville's fiancé, president of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, in his thirties.
The Pearl Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Southland Libra Alliance, a giant trans-continental chamber of commerce. Pedi and Avel exchange power and wealth through a political marriage. Avel obtains financial support and Pedi obtains the status of a Barria noble.
Ivo believes that Pedi will definitely come into contact with him, and does not mind the bleeding. Pedi is a businessman who has invested a lot of money in Aiville and will never give up easily until he sees a return.
Sure enough, a few days later, the president of the Chamber of Commerce personally came to the Haryken line of defense.
"I know you've been waiting for me, let's make a price."
This is the first sentence Pedi said when he saw Ivo.
Pedi is a serious-looking middle-aged man, rigid and realistic. Such people are the most difficult to deal with.
Ivo met Pedi in the lord's longhouse. After hearing this, he smiled, "How much are you going to give?"
Pedi's tone was indifferent: "It depends on how big your appetite is."
Ivo stood up, poured a glass of ale, and said indifferently: "50 million benas, plus you stop funding the orcs of the Earthwolf clan, this is my price."
"Be careful of swelling to death." Pedi frowned, this condition hurt him.
"I can digest slowly." Ivo's tone was calm.
Pedi was silent for a while, and said: "I want to see Elville first."
"Reasonable request."
Ivo shrugged and brought Pedi to the dungeon, opened the door of the cell, Pedi and Iver met, each other's eyes showed various emotions, but there was no emotion.
"Maybe you need to be alone." Ivo closed the door casually, leaned against the door, and chewed on the palms and smoked betel nuts. The smell of cigarettes penetrated the lungs.
He let out a sigh of relief, and the narrow smile at the corner of his mouth loomed in the smoke.
...
In the cell, Alville raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"
"Spend money to save you." Pedi coughed, and slowly said: "Princess Aiville, I have spent enough money on you. This is the last time. I need to pay back."
Elvir frowned: "When the war is over, we will get married You are the Barria noble. You enjoy countless privileges in Barria. Your chamber of commerce can go further. This is a good condition that we have agreed."
"No, I want new terms. After all, it cost more money to redeem you." Pedi said mercilessly, "After saving you, you can no longer participate in the war. I don't want to spend any more money to redeem you. I will also stop funding the orcs. The outcome of this war has nothing to do with me. No matter how bad it is, it will not affect Barea’s foundation. That’s enough.”
Elvir's knife-edged eyebrows were raised, and he threatened Pedi with a sneer, "If you do this, I will overturn the deal, and you won't get anything."
"Stupid, only I can rescue you from here. If you go back, I will help the orcs to attack Barea." Pedi's tone became cold, and he looked at Ai Weier, whose face changed slightly, and said: "You are not qualified to talk to me. condition!"
Aiville was silent, a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes, nodded gently, and stopped talking.
