Looking at the ghost sword, the demon boy stopped in front of him, and Sean's eyebrows raised slightly. Although his face didn't show any surprise, in fact, his heart was quite shocked, because some couldn't see the meaning of the guy who was one of the thirteen coffins in the dead spine in front of him. In particular, this guy's unfriendly appearance makes Sean angry. Did the other party forget the ”happy communication” a few days ago so soon?

”I have no hostility.” The Devil boy raised his hands, which made Sean unhappy, ”and I think you know that I have almost no possibility to threaten you without weapons.”

”Ha ha.” Sean sneered. Although he knew that what the magic boy said at this time was true, he just felt uncomfortable. ”So, are you here to apologize for what happened a few days ago? Don't say anything embarrassing. I'll find it very funny. ”

”In fact, I wasn't ready to say it.” The magic boy shrugged, and his eyes fell on Sean, looking very calm.

Sean looked at each other coldly.

From the momentum shown by the magic boy at this time, Sean knew that the other party's injury had not completely healed. That night, not counting the pressure and damage he exerted, but Cecilia's bombing attack, the magic boy could not have been unharmed. If Wendy hadn't come to save at last, the magic boy would have been killed by Cecilia. But even so, the Devil boy still had countless hidden injuries. His calmness at this time was just trying to support the burst of those injuries.

Of course, the Devil boy still has some strength to become one of the thirteen coffins of the dead spine. Otherwise, he doesn't dare to appear alone in front of Sean and others.

”I heard that Archduke Sean is best at trading and never suffers losses. Even the pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance has been defeated by you.” The Devil boy saw that Sean and others were very alert and had no intention to speak, so he had to bite the bullet.

In fact, according to the Devil boy's idea, he should induce Sean to speak first. Only in this way can he not be at a disadvantage in the next negotiation, and even hold a certain bargaining chip. But it's a pity that Sean always refused to speak, so that the magic boy knew that no matter how he seduced him, Sean would not talk according to his mind, so after a helpless sigh, the magic boy could only give up this idea.

”I'm not here to talk to Sean. I'm just... To propose a deal.” The magic boy took a deep breath and restrained his face, which made him look solemn and dignified at this moment. It was a temperament never shown in the dead spine, ”I can guarantee that you will be interested in this transaction.”

”Hehe, you don't want to say that you're going to betray dead spine and take refuge under my command?” Sean snorted coldly.

”No.” The magic boy shook his head and said lightly, ”but even if I betrayed the dead spine, Lord Sean, you don't dare to keep me?”

Sean didn't answer, but just snorted, but his attitude acquiesced in this statement.

The reason is simple.

Dead spine is essentially a type of killer organization. Their treatment method for traitors has always been very simple: direct killing. This is as like as two peas of the whole miracle of the mainland. All the killer organizations are the same as the traitors. The only difference is that there is no such thing as ”retirement” in the death spine. Unlike the assassin Union and the hermit, there are still some retirement and seclusion.

Therefore, if the demon boy betrays the dead spine, the dead spine will not tolerate him to continue to live. If Sean dares to take him in, he needs to face more crazy revenge from the dead spine. Maybe even six death tablets will be sent out at that time, which is not something that Sean can bear at present. Moreover, even if the dead spine is willing to let go of the Devil boy and don't come to Sean's trouble, the guys of the peace council won't give up. Maybe even the reputation of the peace council will become hatred at that time.

Therefore, even if the magic boy really wants to take refuge under Sean's command, Sean really doesn't dare to take him in.

At least for now, Sean, he doesn't dare.

But the Devil boy's words are very interesting.

Propose a deal?

After a cold hum, Sean chuckled, ”what kind of deal do you think I would be interested in?”

”To show my sincerity, I will tell Lord Sean you an information first.” The demon boy shrugged his shoulders. He was quite open. Since he was completely passive, he was not vague and spoke directly, ”the dark domain death knight, demon soul and dead sword have evacuated your void principality. This is not a trap, but the dark prophet has given up all actions against you. ”

At this point, the demon boy glanced at everyone around Sean, and then he found that there were fewer people than before. At least the dark elf with a huge Knight gun was not present. But soon his eyes fell on Sean again, looked at Sean squarely, and said again: ”because the dark prophet was badly hit by the Lich around you, he and the black dead tide have left the wilderness. At least until the intelligence collection for you is more detailed, the dead spine will not take any action against you for the time being.”

Sean's heart was shocked again, which was somewhat different from the style of dead spine in his impression. It was reasonable that dead spine would mobilize stronger people to encircle and suppress at the first time when the sniping operation was damaged. Originally, Sean thought that the dark prophet would speed up his action plan in the wilderness, and issued a call-up order for the thirteen coffins, so that all the thirteen coffins would gather in the wilderness, Then launch a surprise attack on yourself.

But with a little thought, Sean understood the concerns of the dark prophet.

Obviously, as a dark prophet who also favors the undead and the dark system, he was deeply frightened of Rick's strength after a positive confrontation with Rick. That's why he will temporarily give up all these targeted actions. But it also means that the next dead spine action will become more targeted, and it may even be an unprecedented assassination, which is a bit like the calm before the storm.

However, Sean's heart was shocked at this time, but his face was still different. He smiled: ”I see. It seems that I was wrong to let Rick return to the principality. I thought you had given up your actions against me and went to my principality to make trouble and break my foundation. Now it seems that I think more.”

Is the Lich's name Rick?

The Devil boy wrote down the name silently in his heart, but his face didn't show much emotion: ”then I've shown my sincerity. Now Lord Sean is willing to believe me?”

”All along, I've been looking for others to do business. Today, I didn't expect others to come to me to do business. It's interesting, interesting.” Sean said funny twice. The expression on his face was like what he said ”funny”, showing a happy color, and then smiled, ”then I'll listen to you for the time being What kind of deal do you want to make with me I said in advance that you only have one chance to propose. If I'm not satisfied... Hey... ”

Sean didn't say what would happen if he was dissatisfied, but ended with a strange smile, which virtually gave the magic boy a hint of psychological pressure.

Sure enough, after hearing Sean's words, the magic boy fell into a silence, as if he was weighing the feasibility of his plan. This made Sean know the character of the magic boy in an instant. It was obvious that this guy was not good at negotiation and trading. At this time, his appearance was completely driven by hard scalp, or driven by pure interests - compared with the current transaction, the magic boy had a more obvious purpose.

This is related to the tissue essence of dead spines.

In some sense, dead spine is indeed a group of crazy guys, but it is not so extreme. The existence of this organization is nothing more than a complete interest group. However, compared with pure interest groups, dead spines have certain discipline, perfect reward and punishment system and rigorous pyramid structure. These are the experience and growth accumulated in the past countless years, and they are also a powerful evidence to prove the details of dead spines.

Except that the highly targeted actions must be consistent, most of the time, the management of internal members is not strict, but adopts a more free and laissez faire jurisdiction. Therefore, except that dead spine must be present and accept the task when issuing the convening order, dead spine will not interfere and manage any members at other times - in other words, dead spine does not have the ”boss” like other killer organizations.

This is why after the dark nest of the dead spine in the northern continent was destroyed, the scattered dead spine members plunged the whole northern continent into greater chaos. Because they were not under the jurisdiction of their superiors. After losing even the base, the guys who had been living their own life suddenly had no ”task” restrictions. They didn't know what to do for a while. Naturally, they needed to find some fun to pass the time.

Like scissor jack, he went straight to the St. Joels empire for ”fun”.

After all, this is an organization composed of all kinds of dark creatures, undead creatures and many non-human, strange people or fugitives despised by the world. In their eyes, any secular convention limited to them does not exist. They ignore or even despise all morality and laws. Their existence and purpose are only for their own service, that's all.

Of course, not everyone will run to have fun, and many dead spine members who try to ”correct their evil ways” will take advantage of this opportunity of the destruction of the dark nest to escape from the dead spine. However, only those guys who are also very famous and powerful inside the dead spine can successfully escape. Those who are really a little famous and powerful have long been backed up at the headquarters. Therefore, when the dark nest is reorganized in the future, once these guys do not return after the call-up order is issued, they must be treated as traitors.

In a sense, the peace council dealt a very fatal blow to the dead thorn, which fundamentally weakened the strength of the dead thorn. However, the result is not ”for the peace and stability of the mainland” as considered by the Peace Council, but to plunge the whole northern continent into greater chaos.

If you have to say so, it is this time that the peace council spread chaos in the northern continent.

But it's clear that the peace council guys haven't realized what they've done. They're still celebrating the success of hitting the dead spine.

It was because of Sean's understanding of the dead spine that he was not surprised that the magic boy sold the dark prophet and even the whole dead spine's plan for himself. Anyway, this kind of thing, not to mention only himself and the magic boy, even if the dead spine knows, it is the dark prophet who gave up his action first. The magic boy just makes a favorable deal with this information that is not completely outdated and invalid.

This is the dead spine.

The thinking of a group of monsters.

”Sure enough, negotiation is not my field.” The Devil boy shrugged his shoulders, and his face looked helpless.

”What are you good at?” Sean asked with a smile.

”Kill.” The Devil boy's natural look made Sean feel that he was an idiot who asked this question.

”So, have you decided not to make a proposal?” Sean asked.

”My bottom line, or what I can trade with you, is only what I'm good at.” The Devil boy said in a deep voice, ”I can solve those enemies you can't solve for you. As long as the strength of the other party doesn't exceed me too much, I can solve them for you.”

”Not enough.” Sean shook his head. ”I need more information.”

”It's impossible.” The magic boy knew what Sean's so-called ”intelligence” meant, and he simply rejected it. ”If I give you the intelligence, it may be no problem once or twice, but dead spine is not a fool. They will soon know that I gave you the intelligence, and then I will be treated as a traitor, or even...”

”Will pass on false information to me through you, causing me to make a fatal mistake.” Sean took the Devil boy's words and said his unfinished words for him.

The magic boy nodded.

”I don't need you to give me any detailed information. Just inform me in advance and let me know that the dead spine has taken action, which is enough.” Sean said faintly, and the confidence revealed in his words seemed more powerful, ”moreover, I don't even need you to put water in your actions. If the dead spine asks you to do it, you do it with all your strength. It's also good for you, isn't it? ”

In the end, Sean's face had a wild smile.

”Indeed, as long as I kill you, I don't need to work for you anymore.” The demon boy soon realized the problem of making this proposal.

On the surface, he is still the man of the dead spine, but in fact, he has also become Sean's man, which means that he has become Sean's chess piece in the dead spine. The only way to get rid of this situation is naturally to solve all the insiders, such as Sean and the four present.

”Now that you know that I never lose in trading, you should know that my proposal will never change.” Sean smiled and said, ”so you have only two choices about my proposal, either accept or reject.”

”If I accept it, is there any difference between me and taking refuge in you?” The Devil boy asked in a deep voice.

”It really makes no difference.” Sean shrugged, ”but there must be a difference, that is, I don't limit your thoughts and freedom, and as long as you can kill me, no one knows what you do with me My companions won't say anything. You can rest assured. ”

”I will.” Cecilia suddenly said, ”so if you want to do it once and for all, you still need to solve me.”

”Cecilia.” Sean frowned, but the latter was unwilling to show weakness and stared back, which made Sean quite helpless, ”okay...” then he turned his head and looked at the magic boy and said with a smile: ”what's your decision? Mr. magic boy. ”

”I accept.” After pondering for a moment, the demon boy finally said in a deep voice, ”then our transaction is established Shall I sign a contract with you? ”

”No, I believe in Mr. magic boy's... Personality.” Sean chuckled, as if he was happy that he had settled another deal. ”So, this is your sword...”

”No.” Seeing Sean take out his two swords, the magic boy shook his head, ”I forgot to say before that what I want to trade with you is not my sword, but... Wendy's broken arm.”

Sean was stunned when he heard the magic boy's words, but soon he said in his heart: Fortunately, he didn't throw the broken arm.

The reason why Sean put the broken arm away was because he found that the broken arm could be used as material, and it was a very good material. Whether used in alchemy or forging, Wendy's broken arm is a rare treasure. Its value is not necessarily much lower than the two swords of the magic boy. Moreover, in Sean's eyes, the two swords forged by the magic boy are simply rough. If the materials he uses are not really high-quality, this thing is even just two out of class short swords.

From Sean's point of view, Wendy's broken arm is more valuable to him.

”You have to think clearly.” Sean said, ”your transaction is not enough for you to pay the value of these two things, so you can only choose one of the dagger and material... The broken arm of your companion.”

Almost, Sean described Wendy's broken arm as material.

”I think very clearly.” The Devil boy said in a deep voice, ”I don't need my two swords. I want Wendy's broken arm She needs these more than I do. ”

Hearing the magic boy's words, Sean was silent.

In essence, he doesn't want to give the broken arm to the magic boy, because it can be used for the upgrade of the black king. And from the beginning, Sean didn't expect that the magic boy came for Wendy's broken arm, which was obviously seriously inconsistent with the character of those guys in the dead spine he knew. At least Sean didn't think that these monsters in the dead spine would have any idea of thinking about their companions.

But after pondering for a moment, Sean took out Wendy's broken arm and threw it directly to the magic boy.
