Chapter 88 Crisis
"Sir, I really can't do this." In the room, Todd was discussing learning medical skills with Ye Junwen, but this time Todd was really a little cowardly. After all, he knew nothing about medical skills. He heard that the person who guided him was the famous pharmacist Ditru, so he was of course very panicked. Even if he was a civilian, he had heard of Ditru's name. He was a famous doctor and pharmacist in the empire. He pretended to be... he couldn't pass the qualifier.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you just say that you are a doctor in the Tang Dynasty. The system of treating people here is different. And you are also a scientist and you need certain scientific instruments to save people. If you don't have such instruments here, just find a way to just quit it." Ye Junwen said.
"This...this..." Todd said that he knew nonsense. After all, he was a gangster. He often did things to make stories and deceive people. But the problem was that the people he deceived were all civilians with no education before, while Ditrue was different. The other party was a knowledgeable person. Can this succeed?
"Forget it, I'll take some time to talk to you about some basic medical knowledge, and you can just rely on this aspect to deceive people." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said, "You don't need to understand what I'm talking about. Anyway, just find a way to make up what I'm talking about."
So Ye Junwen also talked about biology with Todd. The roughly the situation is the basic human biology class. Do you think Todd can understand it? It is probably impossible to understand it in such a short time, but after remembering a few professional terms that sound particularly high-end, you can also have a little bit of a stunning attitude.
"Think about it carefully, this is also a way out for you in the future." Ye Junwen also encouraged, "If you can learn some skills from Ditru, then you will be a pharmacist in the future."
"Pharmacist..." Todd showed a somewhat fascinated expression. Unlike a mage, the two professions of treating and saving diseases are respected here. After all, if anyone is sick and injured, can you offend them? Unfortunately, the admission threshold for these two professions is very high. On the one hand, the selection of pastors can only pass through the church. Ordinary civilians do not have such opportunities, because the apprentices needed by the church are trained from childhood; and pharmacists are similar. If they need a certain alchemy foundation, they also start learning from childhood and need a good teacher. Generally speaking, Todd has no possibility of becoming a pharmacist at all, but now he has this opportunity, which makes him very moved.
"But sir, if it is exposed..." Todd asked.
"As long as you don't admit it, it's hard to expose it." Ye Junwen said, "I am the only one who knows your identity at the moment. As long as I don't say anything, others will not overthrow your identity. Do you understand?"
"I understand, sir, let me try it." Todd nodded, and began to sort out the knowledge that Ye Junwen said before and began to prepare his own words.
Of course, when Ye Junwen and Todd fooled Ditru, their troops were also continuing to move towards the main city of the Massodra Empire. There were still no troops blocking them along the way, and the troops were unobstructed in the local territory. Of course, as agreed before, the troops did not attack ordinary civilians this time. They just occupied the city, and the main thing was to advance.
Seeing this situation, the Massodra Empire was really anxious. The only Sword Saint of Ferres who could intercept this force at present really didn't know where it went. Under the emperor's urging, the first negotiating force led by Minister Seg rushed to the front line and came to Ye Junwen and his troops.
It was already expected that the other party would send people to negotiate, so Hejar also received the other party's negotiation team, and by the way, he also let the other party "unintentionally" see the Ferres Sword Saint who was still in their military camp.
The Ferres Sword Saint is indeed in the military camp now. On the one hand, he is trying to supervise the force not to attack the civilians, and on the other hand, he is waiting for the so-called mastermind behind the scenes to appear. If he does not appear, of course he will immediately settle the score with Ye Junwen. And for the past few days, he has been communicating with Karan. The things he communicated with the two are probably all about swordsmanship. It seems that the Ferres Sword Saint has a good attitude towards Karan. It is estimated that because both of them are swordsmen, the two did not have any fierce battles, but were just communicating all the time.
When he saw the Ferres Sword Saint, Seg here was confused. He never thought that the Ferres Sword Saint would be in the opponent's camp now. What is the situation? He really didn't know what the current state was. The Ferres Sword Saint really surrendered to the enemy? This doesn't make sense, but why is it in the opponent's camp?
Seg really wants to go up and ask Ferres Sword Saint immediately to understand what the situation is. He asked him out to stop the enemy. Why are you acting with the enemy now? However, Seg does not have a chance, and of course Hejar will not give him this opportunity. He just let him see Ferres Sword Saint from afar, that's all.
By the time he sat on the negotiation table, Seg's face was already very heavy. He had fantasized about whether there was something delayed in the Ferres Sword Saint, or something, but now it seems that this is not the case. He has no trump cards anymore, and it is almost impossible to stop the opponent from advancing to the main city. If this situation continues, the two opponent's legions are besieging the main city, which... they cannot accept it.
This situation must be notified to the main city as soon as possible so that they can make plans early. However, Seg decided to listen to the other party's conditions first and see what the other party wants.
As for Hejar, the conditions had been considered and discussed with Ye Junwen and others. Of course, they also knew that the current conditions were impossible for the other party to accept. This condition was mainly to cede territory, of course, not just the Tedmara region I wanted before, but the entire Sethys Principality, including the Tedmara region.
When Seg heard the other party's conditions, his face changed drastically. The other party's appetite was too great. They could not accept this condition anyway. Not to mention the important principality of the empire of Sethis, mainly the position of this principality. If this principality is handed over, there will be no natural danger between their Massodra Empire and the Saint Wilan Empire. In other words, if Saint Wilan wants to attack the Massodra Empire in the future, they can push them straight to the other party's main city. How could this make the other party do this?
Seger immediately rejected the conditions proposed by Hejar and said some other conditions. But Hejar of course knew that the other party could not accept it so simply. First, the lion spoke loudly, and then asked the other party to bargain slowly. Anyway, they were not in a hurry now, so they slowly pushed the pressure on the other party until the other party could not stand it, and they would naturally gain the greatest benefit.
The first negotiation ended so badly, and Hejar did not make things difficult for Seg and the others. It was useless to make things difficult for them, so he directly sent them back to report the news. Seg immediately rushed back to the main city and told the emperor Mudevis about the current situation, especially the Sword Saint Ferres.
When they heard the news that Ferres Sword Saint was in the other party's military camp, Mudevis was also confused. What was going on? Why did Ferres Sword Saint directly join the other side? No matter how they did, they could not think of this situation. So what should we do now? They really couldn't question Ferres Sword Saint what was going on. They were not originally the emperor's subordinates.
They could not accept Hejar's conditions, but they also knew that it was just a lion who spoke up. It would be better to start a war directly than to accept this condition. But now they are anxious. After Mudevis was furious, he began to seriously discuss the negotiations. They must also determine their bottom line and what they can give at most. If they don't work, they will have to fight to the death.
Everything seems to be moving in a direction that is beneficial to Ye Junwen and the others. The current situation seems to be just waiting for the outcome of the negotiation and then waiting for the reward. However, when everyone thought that the war would usher in a complete victory, an accident happened.
On this day, an unexpected person appeared in the military camp, and this person was Laisen, the ambassador of the imperial capital who had just arrived here before, and he also brought a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"There has been a rebellion in the country," said Lesen.
"What?" Hedgeal was a little stunned. Since Laisen had come here, of course the scale of the rebellion was quite large, otherwise he would simply suppress it and come to tell them what he was doing, "Who is it? Which bastard launched the rebellion at this time?"
"It's the eldest prince Shulia..." Lesen said.
"What? His Highness Shulia, the eldest prince?" Hejar looked a little strange, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Yes, His Highness the Great Prince is back," said Lesen. "Led by His Highness Shulia, a large number of nobles participated in the rebellion, including General Conrad and Duke Seleto..."
