Way of Overlord-Chapter 423: That Person

This is why trust is fragile. Because mouth can say anything but the heart does not lie.

Aeryon after listening to Norgai could not help but be amazed.

Whoever is advising Norgai has grasped his mind very accurately. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Aeryon really does have the intention of buying bones to attract talent. And Norgai himself is willing to become that bone.

And he does have the desire to create an example and a signboard so that later, people would find it easier to surrender to him

Norgai submission would open a door.

And this is the door he wanted to open the most

"This strategy of surrender, who came up with it?" Since Norgai did not seem to want to hide anything from him, then he also decided to be direct.

By now, he is quite sure that there is someone behind Norgai giving him all of these advices.

"That person already expected that you would ask this question"

"Does he told you to hide his identity?"

But instead of nodding his head, Norgai shakes his head

"No, he is quite eager to see you again, my Kan"

"See me again?" that is a clue. And then he grasped another meaning of that sentence

"he’s here?"

"In a separate tent. He said that if the Kan wanted to know if there is someone behind me giving advice, then be honest and truthful so that there is no reason for the Kan to doubt me"

"Is that the same for the explanation you give me before? "

And Norgai nodded

"he said that since I want to sincerely surrender, then there is no need to lie nor there is any need to hide things"

"The more I hide, the more I lie, the more I held back, the more distrust it would create and trust once broken is hard to mend. So, he advises to me, whatever you ask, I simply need to answer it honestly, without holding anything back. I would list the disadvantage and I would list the advantages. No lies, no half-truth, only the truth"

"And he also said, if I actually wanted to be a double agent and betray you, then I should hide all of these information from you. But if I really wanted things to turns out the way I wanted it to turn out, just be honest and loyal and you the Kan would accept me and would surely use me"

Aeryon nodded. Then he chuckles. At first this seems to be a good advice. And it is a good advice.

But it also shows that this person seem to even calculate him

This is amazing in itself.

Most chief would not be able to accept being told the truth and even truth might seem like a lie when the words enters the ears of a chief.

This person who advises Norgai is confident that Aeryon could forgive whatever scheme that Norgai have as long as he is being truthful.

A deep understanding of myself, Aeryon thought to himself.

"This person seems to know a lot about me" Aeryon mutters to himself. Whoever this person is, he or she must have known him

And there is not many woman who knows him closely. So, it must be a he.

Only those who have known him up close would have the confidence to give such a strategy to Norgai.

Aeryon by now have some inkling of who this person is.

"Who is the one advising you?"

"Jayeux the disciple of Mayeux"

"Ah" hearing this Aeryon understood.

"HAHAHA!" Suddenly Aeryon laughed. Norgai was puzzled and he did not know why Aeryon is suddenly laughing.

If Mayeux was here, he would understand the complicated mood of the Kan. The Kan seems to owe Jayeux.

Jayeux uses his mouth and his words to convince Nogai chief tribe to hand out his tribe to him

This is like Zhang Yi and Su Qin using their tongues and words to sow chaos during the Warring States period

It seems that Jayeux most prized organ is not his hands and feet but his mouth. This is Aeryon thought

How could a young boy who has nothing to him other than reputation could convince one chief tribe to surrender? This alone is a magnificent feat.

And that brings mixed emotions in Aeryon heart. If Mayeux hear this he would be proud of the achievement of his disciple.

But for Aeryon, this talent that he appreciated does not want to work with him. How could he not feel complicated?

Last time he wanted to kill the boy.

Today, the boy won him a tribe without the use of any army and warriors.

He got it easily

However, this did not make Aeryon feel only grateful.

He also feel wariness.

This kind of talent...if he is working for him, Aeryon would lavish such talent with all kinds of gifts

But if it works for the enemy, then they should be killed or they would kill him.

But at the same time, today, regardless of what plans that Jayeux wanted to do, he had given him great benefit.

Aeryon is thinking and he could guess what Jayeux wanted to do by persuading Nogai tribe to surrender.

Norgai did not know what Aeryon is thinking as he seems to be frozen after hearing the name of Jayeux.

The moment passed and Aeryon could only sigh. This kind of sigh contains many feelings, each one contradicting the other.

"I understand" If this is the case no wonder why this person seems to know his thoughts. It is not surprising.

After all, Jayeux uses only a few advice to convince him to let him go when he left the Brolgadhr tribe.

If its him, it is understandable.

"does he want anything from me?"

"he said that if the Kan knows he is here, then he would meet the Kan and ask a favour" Aeryon nodded and then laughed.

Aeryon had spent countless days thinking of Jayeux plans.

The bet between them.

And he got some ideas on how Jayeux would try to win the bet. it is because he knows this he now trusted Norgai.

Jayeux would not lie to him. There is no need because Jayeux might need him to take the north for his next plan to work

Knowing Jayeux, he must have sincerely advised Norgai

But now is not the time to see Jayeux but assure Norgai that he trusted him.

Now that he knows the whole story, he trusted Norgai even more

And seeing Norgai, he could not help but feel more satisfied.

If the loyalty of Norgai could be secured, not only would he get a stable base in the north, he would also gain a competent commander.

"What are you planning to do now?" Aeryon suddenly ask

"Kan. Did you accept my surrender?"

"I did"

Hearing this Norgai think for a moment and then said

"Should I announce it to the surrounding tribes to make the effect better and to let them know that the Brolgadhr would accept them?"

Aeryon think for a moment and then he smiles

"Not yet."

If Nogai tribe surrender right now.

There would be many small tribes and clans that would follow Norgai example

But right now,. Aeryon did not need so many people.

He need stime to digest all the regions he had won

Aeryon suddenly found there is a way to let down the guard of his enemies in the west. Yes, he still have a very formidable army in the west

The Cha Ner Ul tribe.

Chagai tribe would not let him expand more. And they would not let Khagai be the sole ruler of the west.

With Khagai tribe taking the Bolghar tribe and the great relation between the Khagai tribe and the Brolgadhr tribe, Cha Ner Ul alliance might be at full alert right now.

They must think that the Brolgadhr tribe would focus on the west.

There is a way to at least make them off guard and that is to show that they suddenly pivot to the north.

After all, as shocking as Valgrun victory, some chief is more interested in his movement.

The tribes in the east and north did not care much about what happen to the far west.

It is far from them and did not affect them.

Not all of them planned for the whole world like Aeryon and Mayeux who sees further than the chief in the Steppe

But Aeryon forces affects them directly so they surely would pay attention to his every move

And his taking of Wustkazan actually open the road to the north

Aeryon himself would not take Wustkazan if not for some of the factors that allowed him to win such a great victory.

Kazan tribe make a move and the Kazan sealed its own doom.

One could imagine that if the Kazan tribe did not move, all of this would not have happened. Then Kazan would not be destroyed by the Esbizuk tribe

Though, one could not have expected that the Esbizuk tribe would be so radical and extreme that he would kill the Kazan chief at a feast like that.

How could anyone trust Dama ever again. Even if he has allies in the future, no one would dare to put their lives in Dama hand again
