Chapter 624: Prime Minister's mind
The third meeting between the Terrera royal family and the Devil of the North finally came to an end in a friendly atmosphere.
Although the two sides have not been able to discuss key issues such as canonization, the fact that the Wei En scholar apprenticeship has greatly shortened the distance between each other. Even if the canonization cannot be negotiated in the end, the immediate results alone are enough to make Prince Zion happy.
Back at the manor where he stayed, he smiled happily.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Staff Mazarin said with a smile, "Your Highness, your timely statement has greatly improved the attitude of the Demon King and his party towards you!"
"I have already seen that this Demon King is a person who puts his feelings ahead of his interests. In other words, for him, interests are too small, making him happy and in a good mood... These are his greatest interests. where." Prince Zion said with a smile, "Such a person is very powerful and dangerous, but it is not difficult to get along with. As long as we don't offend him, get along well with him, and with the resources of a country, we want to be with him. It's actually quite easy to build a good relationship."
The staff nodded again and again: "But only a decisive person like you can make such a determination. If it is someone else, you may not be able to let go of the air, and you may not be willing to give up those interests."
"Benefits? Interests are to be exchanged and discarded!" said Prince Zion nonchalantly, "What can be exchanged and discarded is the real interest. A country needs to be stable, and there is nothing that cannot be exchanged and discarded. Compared with territory Or some precious resources, just a little face or something, not worth mentioning at all!"
The staff nodded with a smile. This is what he is most satisfied with about the prince. Although this prince has some problems with his personality, he is a little gloomy and cold, but he is definitely not stingy. When it comes to paying the price, I never procrastinate.
Perfect kings only exist in legends, and people like Prince Zion can already be regarded as excellent monarchs.
In contrast, although that Princess Feishna was highly skilled and infectious, she did not have such a neat attitude. She may be able to stand up to the danger without hesitation, but in the peaceful years, weighing the pros and cons and making a choice will make her very embarrassed.
Prince Zion... At least when his own safety is not involved, he is a very calm and decisive person who can give up various interests in a timely manner in exchange for greater interests.
Such a person is already one of the best talents among the royal families in the world today.
In contrast, the "Lion King" of Thrace is much worse. Although the Lion King is good at finding and utilizing talents and delegating talents to suitable places, he cannot control his desires and emotions very well, and often makes uncool decisions. Such a person cannot stabilize those strengths internally. The top aristocrats who are not weaker than the royal family will make other countries worry and doubt even more. If you want to achieve great things, it is easier said than done!
A few years ago, Mazarin had always been envious of the Prime Minister of Thrace, Leopold Otto, who was originally only the second son of the family, but forged a deep friendship with the prince by virtue of his talent, and even more so when the prince ascended the throne. Later, he became a prime minister, and through a series of measures, he effectively consolidated the kingship, and also seized the seat of the patriarch, and became a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the whole of Thrace.
The rarest thing is that, regardless of King Richard's mood, Leopold was able to successfully persuade him to accept his plan.
Mazarin originally intended that this pair of monarchs and ministers could cooperate with each other and jointly create a great era, but he did not expect that people are not as good as heaven. It seems that the death of Leopold can be called absurd and ridiculous!
A dignified king, wanting to seize the wealth of a little aristocrat who has no foundation and luck, this kind of thing is not a big problem - the world of the aristocracy seems to be polite, but in fact it eats people without spitting bones, killing, seizing, Fabrication...it happens every day. A descendant of an aristocrat who was no more than an illegitimate child of a royal family, if he wanted to possess such a large amount of wealth, it was originally the way to die.
But no one thought that this incident would fail, and Leopold died because of it!
What is even more unexpected is that King Richard has provoked a group of mysterious and powerful aliens because of this, and I don't know where these people come from, but their strength and determination are all shocking.
According to the information collected by the Terrera royal family, the "Northern Demon King" is likely to have close contacts with the group of Inhumans, and may even be one of the leaders of the group of Inhumans.
If it weren't for a group of powerful companions behind him, do you really think that with the strength of a strong man, you can force the dignified Earl Tarahan to bow his head and admit his cowardice, and honestly pretend to be a tortoise?
What a joke! The Tarakhan family is not a good thing! The prestige of this family is also built on countless blood and corpses!
If there is only one opponent, no matter how powerful the character is, Count Tarahan will definitely have a way to kill him—in this world, there are still a few legendary powerhouses who are willing to pay for money. If you make some concessions to the church, it should be no problem to ask a few legendary priests for help. Mazarin estimated that Count Tarahan should be able to make up an ultra-luxurious lineup of about ten legendary powerhouses with all his strength.
Even though it would cost him a very heavy price, it was clearly worth the price compared to the benefits he could get from exterminating a Demon King.
However, Count Tarahan did not do this, what does this mean? It means that in his opinion, it's either not worth it or can't win.
The situation of "not worth it" is another matter, and the situation of "can't win" has always been a heavy worry in Mazarin's heart.
The Demon King of the North... is so powerful, so powerful that an earl would rather accept his large territory being controlled by it than be hostile to it?
In the face of such a strong man, can their negotiation be successful this time?
Before this trip, Mazarin had been worried about these. He's even more worried than Prince Zion, because Prince Zion can't afford to fail, he can't afford to fail.
Prince Zion is not a generous and generous lord. If this matter fails, the responsibility will most likely fall on Mazarin.
Fortunately, after contact, he found that his worries were unnecessary. The Demon King of the North is indeed powerful, and he does know many powerful people, but this Demon King is not as eccentric and arrogant as he imagined.
In fact, if he didn't know the identity of the other party in advance, he couldn't even imagine that a dignified devil would be so easy-going.
Mazarin peeked at Prince Zion out of the corner of his eye while sorting out the materials that he might use for the next meeting. Prince Zion is drinking tea happily, but there is still a shadow of darkness hidden in his smile.
This shadow was never seen in the eyes and face of the white-haired Demon King.
(Perhaps... Compared to Prince Zion, the devil in the north is more suitable to be a king...)
