Chapter 75 Negotiation (Bonus Chapter for Recommending Votes)
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"It seems you still don't understand what I mean. For us followers of the Supreme God, there is no distinction between justice and evil. We give it to you because we may obtain greater benefits from you. As for light, darkness, justice, and evil, they are all illusions. To put it bluntly, victory is justice, and failure is evil, because history is always written by the victors."
Saruman gently clapped his hands and smiled:
"Your insights are very brilliant, Mr. Sailor."
Through their conversation, Fang Senyan and the others realized that Saruman was indeed well-deserved. His voice and speech were extremely persuasive, and his rhetoric was powerful. Those whose minds were not firm enough would have their thoughts shaken by his words. Yet, when talking to him, one felt as if bathed in a spring breeze. No wonder Saruman could continue to hide his identity even after becoming Sauron's secret ally, only revealing himself after attacking Gandalf and imprisoning him.
Fang Senyan was now relieved because his deduction was indeed correct—he was facing a cunning old fox—and one who seemed very greedy. This meant that at least he wouldn't immediately order his subordinates to kill them all. The worst that could happen was the failure of the main mission.
So his confidence increased, and he continued:
"Great Lord Saruman, you must know that the Supreme God is famous for being both harsh and omnipotent. Therefore, if we cannot obtain a satisfactory price from you, then our consequences will be quite severe..."
Saruman laughed and said enthusiastically:
"Of course, I possess the wealth to satisfy you, but the point is, I don't yet know what goods you wish to sell?"
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"I believe you must know about the sensational event that happened recently, where the eight Ringwraiths besieged several leaders of the Elven race."
Saruman's expression became serious:
"Yes, my friendship with the Elves has lasted for thousands of years. Such behavior will inevitably be despised and seriously watched by me."
"That battle was very fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses. According to the information we have, at least the Ringwraith Doel was almost destroyed—the second gift I offer you can prove this. However, the Elven race has also permanently lost an important figure," Fang Senyan said very seriously.
Saruman was moved and said:
"Who is it?"
Fang Senyan stared into his eyes and said very seriously:
"King of Rivendell, wielder of the Ring of Air, Vilya, Lord Elrond."
"That's impossible!" Saruman suddenly cracked the armrest of the chair he was holding, his white beard and hair fluttering. At that moment, he revealed an aura of overlooking everything like a lion!
"As a follower of the Supreme God, lying is a grave sin," Fang Senyan said lightly. "More importantly, the goods I am here to sell this time are greatly related to Lord Elrond."
"How could Elrond fall! Doesn't he have the protection of the Ring of Air, Vilya?" Saruman still seemed incredulous.
"We don't know the specific process," Fang Senyan immediately told a lie:
"Those present at the time were another group of followers of the Supreme God. The only thing I am concerned about now is what price the great Lord Saruman can offer for the goods we have."
Saruman closed his eyes, obviously needing to digest the impact of this news on him, and then said very seriously:
"I must first see what the goods you brought are."
"The essence left behind after Mr. Elrond's death... a total of three pieces." As Fang Senyan spoke, he took out his piece from his personal space.
When Saruman saw it, he was suddenly moved! He grabbed the Elf's Phantasmal Bone Crystal from Fang Senyan's hand, closed his eyes, and caressed it. One could feel that Saruman's fingers were imbued with immense magic power, and the space around the Phantasmal Bone Crystal seemed to be distorted!
"Phantasmal Bone Crystal, it's actually a Phantasmal Bone Crystal! This is the Phantasmal Bone Crystal that records Elrond's life experiences!! With it, and with a little time and luck, I can obtain Elrond's powerful power!"
Seeing this situation, Fang Senyan said casually:
"Mr. Saruman, because you have not yet paid or shown any inclination to pay, please be careful when checking the goods..."
Saruman suddenly raised his head, his expression at that moment was brutal and mocking, and his voice was extremely cold:
"Lurtz! These three are your dinner, and also, those two others still have such crystals on them. Search for them and bring them to me, then you can do your thing!"
The laboratory door suddenly响了, and the familiar face of the Uruk-hai Lurtz appeared before Fang Senyan. He licked his scarlet tongue and said to Fang Senyan with a sinister tone:
"Weak worm, we meet again. From the moment you walked into the wizard tower, I smelled your unique scent. Don't worry, my stomach will be the best grave you can find."
Fang Senyan sighed and said:
"Mr. Saruman, I think you seem to have forgotten something."
Saruman glanced at him with disdain. At this moment, Lurtz had already slammed a fist heavily on Fang Senyan's face, knocking him flying! But at that instant, the Phantasmal Bone Crystal in Saruman's hand suddenly disappeared. Saruman suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but let out a painful roar!
Fang Senyan, who had collapsed in the corner, suddenly laughed wildly:
"Mr. Saruman, I am a follower of the Supreme God! Perhaps you can kill me, but the Elf's Phantasmal Bone Crystal is stored in the personal space given by the Supreme God! My soul is still connected to it. If you want to snatch it, you are making a big mistake. You are already on the road to saying goodbye to Mr. Elrond's Phantasmal Bone Crystal forever, but there is still time to turn back now!"
Saruman suddenly froze, but after five seconds, he showed that enthusiastic smile again and laughed:
"It's just a joke, my friends! How can you take it seriously?"
Fang Senyan touched his swollen face, vomited a mouthful of blood, spat out a few teeth, and grinned:
"This joke is not funny at all."
Saruman raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"I apologize for my servant's rudeness."
As he spoke, he casually pointed, and a healing spell was cast on Fang Senyan's body. Only then did Fang Senyan say with a forced smile:
"Then you wouldn't mind if I joked with your servant as well?"
Saruman breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:
"Of course."
Fang Senyan walked over and kicked Lurtz in the crotch! Lurtz's face immediately turned blue. His simple mind obviously hadn't understood what was happening, and then Fang Senyan punched him in the nose! Lurtz roared madly and was about to attack, but Saruman froze him with a finger. Saruman's eyes were full of icy coldness:
"My distinguished guests are joking with you, what do you want to do?"
Fang Senyan unceremoniously kicked Lurtz to the ground and beat him up for a while. Although it didn't cause any substantial damage to this thick-skinned guy, it still humiliated him thoroughly. Lurtz's eyes had already turned blood red! His teeth were gnashing, but there was nothing he could do!!
Having vented his anger, Fang Senyan exhaled a large breath, smeared the sole of his shoe on Mr. Lurtz's face, and then clapped his hands and said:
"Respected Mr. Saruman, now I think we can return to the original topic—how much reward can you pay for these goods we brought—of course, that piece of Ringwraith armor fragment must also be included."
Saruman spread his hands and said:
"No problem, name your price, how many platinum coins."
Fang Senyan suddenly smiled:
"Mr. Saruman, we don't lack platinum coins."
"Then is it Mithril fine gold?" Saruman said.
Fang Senyan continued to shake his head:
"Let me talk about a personal wish. I am ashamed to say, Mr. Saruman, that I once came into contact with a notebook by chance, which recorded your experience in tuning Uruk-hai. I think this notebook has helped me a lot, but there are still many things I don't understand, so I hope you can let me make rapid progress in this area... As for the matter of confidentiality, you can rest assured. You see, I have dealt with Mr. Lurtz a long time ago, but there has never been any bad news about you."
Saruman's face darkened and said:
"I have to see what you have learned before I say anything!"
Fang Senyan then displayed his "Sixth-Order Ability: Uruk-hai Gene Liquid Tuning (Incomplete)," which had not been upgraded for a long time. After looking at it for a while, Saruman said with some surprise:
"Did you figure these out yourself?"
Fang Senyan sighed:
"Mr. Saruman, have you ever taught me? Besides you, who else can teach me in this area? If I didn't figure it out myself, then who else could I rely on?"
Saruman obviously didn't expect Fang Senyan to make such a request, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"I can help you improve this ability, but your companions' requests cannot be too high."
Obviously, Fang Senyan now needed Jiao Shi and Franklin to share his rewards to fulfill him. However, the three were in a team at this time, so naturally there was nothing to say. At this time, Saruman called Gangduoer over to satisfy the requirements of Jiao Shi and Franklin, intending to seize the time to take Fang Senyan to his Orc laboratory.
