Chapter 1618: treaty

Cecil listened to my advice, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "You can forgive me. An intelligence organization can not be established by everyone, let alone maintained by everyone. It requires a huge upfront investment. , Informant resources, must be able to withstand the dissatisfaction and sudden pressure of the noble and powerful officials. These alone are far beyond what I can bear."
I was stunned and said, "Listening to your hardship, I must have thought of establishing an intelligence organization before?"
"I did," Cecil said bitterly, "I dug into a gold mine and got a lot of gold, and then I felt like I was omnipotent, so I tried some jobs that I thought were very handsome. This, the result was that all the ideas were not even completed, and two-thirds of the gold on hand had been consumed. In the end, he almost gave up on himself, and then opened a teahouse under the persuasion of the second master."
"This is also an experience," I said with emotion.
"Nothing counts" Cecil sighed: "'Experience' is a package used to beautify failure, but failure is failure, whether it is because of lack of talent, or because of not working hard, or both, failure. , It means that this lifestyle is not suitable for you."
"It's too pessimistic." I shook my head. "The meaning of life is not experience. It's the most important thing to experience what you want to experience and get emotion from it, isn't it?"
Cecil smiled bitterly: "This is the difference between you and me."
It is right to think about it. As a troubadour, Cecil was able to give up his career as a troubadour. It was a difficult change.
In the Hefeng Continent, the salaries of the bards are collectively raised and distributed by various countries. Although they cannot be turned into rich people, they are more than enough to satisfy daily necessities, food, shelter and transportation, or to marry a wife and have children, and have enough food and clothing.
The only troublesome part of this profession is to travel around, record mountains and rivers, record customs and habits, record all kinds of life, compile a narrative poem, and submit it to the city owners of all countries for collection.
This kind of life style that requires long-distance travel is not necessarily affordable for most people, so those who can choose the line of troubadour must be those who have a soft spot for long-distance travel.
Cecil is like that.
He likes to travel long distances, to see the scenery, to experiment with various customs, and to compile what he has seen and heard into a long poem and sing it for everyone.
However, Cecil eventually gave up his beloved troubadour job, and turned to various industries he dreamed of.
In many people's eyes, his difficult change is nothing but an upstart mentality that is difficult to suppress.
But in my opinion, what Cecil did was a search for the unknown and an exploration of curiosity.
He dared to try occupations that ordinary people would not dare to think about, and tried to understand these occupations deeply, master it, and plan it.
Moreover, when Cecil learned that these things could not be completed, although he was very frustrated, he was not as stubborn as a cow. Instead, he chose to quietly let go of all the efforts he had made before, and instead invested in a practical Occupation.
All kinds of behaviors are symbols of courage.
In other words, Cecil is actually not lacking in courage, and he also has calm judgment and thorough planning ability. Such a person is suitable for operating an intelligence organization and is likely to be successful in business.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly and said, "Cecile, if I can help you rebuild the intelligence organization, are you going to continue to give up or fulfill your dream?"
Cecil contemplated for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Please forgive me for rejecting it."
"Oh?" I said in amazement: "Don't you want to fulfill your previous dream? Or do you plan to wipe out all living beings from now on and just be an ordinary rich businessman?"
He looked entangled and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying: "I didn't give up my dream, but now... it's different. I have a wife and I want to protect her. I will have children in the future. I can't If I live for my dreams, I will live for them... Sorry."
"Yeah" I nodded: "Although it is a pity, what you said makes sense. Perhaps in the heyday, being an ordinary person is the safest and happiest."
After pondering for a moment, I said: "But have you ever thought about it, if the war starts, can you guarantee this simple happiness?"
Cecil's eyes widened suddenly, his expression stiff, and he said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Literally" I said: "I don't know if your troubadour friend talked to you about the recent forms of various countries. The borders of Dasai City are frequently disturbed, and the initiators of all this are likely to be the city of Ai Rui and Seoul. For."
Picking up the teapot, pouring tea leisurely into the teacup, then raised his eyes to see Cecil's sluggish expression, and continued: "I came here this time to answer the call of the orc king to discuss this matter with a politician. Try to make the big things small and small things as much as possible, but in my opinion, any method is futile. The two city owners of Ai Ruicheng and York Seoul just want to arouse the anger of Darcy City with a provocative posture. There is no distinction between justice and injustice that triggers wars between the two sides. There is no distinction between justice and injustice between the two sides. It depends on whose national power is stronger and whose people are more loyal."
"You...what you said is true?" Cecil looked surprised.
"It's just a guess, but I am more than 60% sure."
"If this is true, City Lord Ai and City Lord York and Seoul are not crazy!" Cecil frowned.
I was quite puzzled, and asked: "Why do you say that?"
"A hundred years ago, Dasai City fought several wars with Erie City and York City. Basically, the Three Kingdoms suffered heavy casualties, their national strength was declining, and the people were dying, but until the end of the war, they could not decide a victory or defeat." Er sighed: "Because of this result, the city masters of the three countries have jointly signed a treaty, the content of which is mainly non-aggression, peaceful coexistence, and each has set a part of the territory as a public zone, which can be jointly developed, but will not tolerate disputes. , Once anyone breaks the agreement, the other two countries can punish it together!"
No wonder the many high-level officials in Dasai City have tolerated it again and again, it turns out that there is such a reason.
"But if it is a war jointly initiated by Darcy City and York City, I am afraid that there will be no way to follow the agreement."
"No, there is also" Cecil said: "This notarization was completed by the two city owners of Moonlight City and the two city owners of Fort Witch. If any two countries join together, they will be the first to initiate a third country. In the case of war, Moonlight City and Fort Witchh have the right to send troops to mediate, and if the mediation is invalid, they have the right to wipe out the two countries that took the lead."
