Chapter 67: PUA

Although Ethan liked Knight Andy's flexibility, he was not prepared to talk about it, and simply said:

"You should know that this territory is for supplying materials to the North!"

Seeing Andy nodded, Ethan continued: "Since you know the use of this place, you should understand its significance to the Duke.

But now someone wants to destroy this place, and the person who comes is from the Duke's team.

I think you should understand how serious this is.

If the Duke knew that someone in his team dared to destroy the supply of materials to the North, what do you think he would do?

I am sure that the Dariqan who attacked here is one of them, and your boss is probably one of them.

As for whether you are also involved, you know it best.

Besides, I have reported this matter in a special way.

I think the Duke will take action soon.

As for how the Duke will deal with it, you are an insider and should know better than me."

I don't know if it was because the room was too warm, and Andy's forehead kept sweating when he heard this.

Others don't know how scarce the supplies in the North are, but Andy knows it too well.

The Duke's Third Knights, to which he belongs, specialize in logistics affairs, including but not limited to military discipline, supply of supplies, etc.

Therefore, he can see information about various logistics supplies every day.

In his impression, there is almost no shortage of supplies in the North.

If a small knight like him can know these, how could the Duke not know?

And the Duke cares about this more than anyone else, after all, it involves his ruling foundation.

Therefore, the Duke visits the headquarters of the Third Knights almost every day, and even lives in the headquarters, just to personally supervise the procurement and supply of supplies.

This also shows how much the Duke values ​​the circulation of supplies.

It can be said that if the Duke knows that someone dares to obstruct the circulation of supplies in the North, or someone inside the North.

Then no matter who you are, the Duke will definitely let your whole family go to hell.

Yes, the whole family, no one can escape.

Andy knows that he participated in this matter, although he participated without knowing it and was just acting on orders.

But he understands that as long as he participates in this matter, he will definitely be punished.

As for how you participated, it doesn't matter at all.

The Duke will let everyone see that those who hinder him will not have a good end. This is the so-called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Maybe the Duke will not kill him, but expelling him from the Knights is inevitable.

Everyone knows that in the North, the Duke of Eagle is the sky of the North.

All families are dependent on the Duke.

Only when family members have a position in the Duke's private Knights are they recognized by the Duke.

He awakened the Force at the age of 35, and only after middle age did he join the Duke of Eagle's private Knights with the help of his family.

This is not only his own honor, but also the honor of his family.

But once he is expelled from the Knights, it will be more painful for him than death, and the family will also be humiliated.

That is why he knew that Ethan deliberately said half of the words just to wait for him to come back and humiliate him, but he was still willing to give up his dignity and come back to be humiliated.

Because he couldn't bear any turmoil that might affect his future, even if he knew that Ethan was exaggerating, he still had to come back to ask clearly.

And the facts seemed to be as Ethan said.

Without knowing it, he participated in the incident that hindered the Duke's plan.

And what's worse is that he was not completely unaware.

This man has reached a certain age, and his strength may not be that strong, but he has seen too many intrigues and deceptions, and his career experience is always not too bad.

When he came, he had doubts:

The Duke repeatedly reminded that the territory of the Lawson family is a restricted area, and it is absolutely not allowed to go there without permission.

But why did the magician from the Maren Fortress appear there?

And according to two insiders, the magician attacked Lawson's territory?

And what equipment was to be taken back?

All this looked like dealing with someone's aftermath.

Although he knew this, he still couldn't disobey the order of his superiors and came, and he also wanted to deal with the matter quickly through the official name.

Others probably had the same idea in their hearts.

Therefore, after Ethan strongly refused, he knew that he couldn't violate the order, and he didn't want to lower his status, so he left in disgrace.

The families of the other people had some support, so they could leave if they wanted to, but Andy couldn't.

He is the only member of the Knights in the family. If he doesn't handle this matter well and leaves like this, the consequences will be unbearable for him.

He now resents his superiors for forcing him to take this matter, but he also hopes that Ethan can let him go, but he himself doesn't know how to do it.

Therefore, he can only start to distance himself from the matter.

"Knight Ethan, I'm sorry to bother you, but please believe that I have absolutely nothing to do with this matter. I hope Knight Ethan can help clarify this matter."

Hearing this, Ethan frowned and thought: This man looks old, but he talks like a child.

It doesn't matter whether he helps him clarify or not. The Duke will punish him if he should. This is their internal affairs, and it is not up to him to decide.

However, Ethan also heard from the other party's words that the other party was deeply worried. Obviously, the other party has realized the serious consequences.

In other words, the consequences are something he can't bear, so he is desperate to seek medical treatment.

In this case, there is room for maneuver, and maybe we can get some useful information.

Therefore he said:

"Andy Knight, you should understand that the matter has reached its current stage and is no longer a private matter between you and me. Whether I can help you clarify it or not will not affect the outcome.

but……"

Ethan deliberately stopped mid-sentence. The previous sentence pointed out the situation and asked Andy to abandon unrealistic fantasies, and then ended with "but" to give him hope.

This makes Andy wander between despair and hope, making it easy to manipulate the other person's heart.

Of course, this is only theoretical, everything depends on Andy's reaction.

If he is in this situation, and the other party remains calm and expressionless, it means that he is very scheming, and this trick will not work on people with a strong government.

If his expression starts to change, and he is sad at first and then happy, it means that he has been completely manipulated. Then, whatever you ask, he will say what he says without any reservations.

This is crucial to Ethan, because he also wants to know who in the North wants to harm him.

Fortunately for Ethan, Andy's performance fell into the latter category.

The expression on his face was just as Ethan expected, first uncomfortable, then hopeful.

And asked anxiously: "But what? Knight Ethan! Please help me!"

"Of course I am willing to help you. Because I admire your flexibility.

In the north, who doesn't know the nobility of the Duke Knights, but you are willing to lower your head and come back to do what the subordinates do, which proves that you are a motivated person! "

Ethan used words like "appreciation", which are generally words used by superiors to those of lower status, which invisibly elevated his own status and at the same time expressed praise for those of lower status.

This is a very common PUA method in conversations, which can make people obey orders invisibly.

Of course, all this must be based on the situation that the other party is not disgusted.

Fortunately, Ethan saw the other party's happy face and didn't seem to be disgusted, so he continued: "But before I help you, I must understand something first. This may be related to the internal affairs of your knights. Are you willing to tell me?"

"As long as it doesn't violate the principles, please feel free to ask Knight Ethan, and I will tell you the truth!"

Ethan smiled slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect that everything went so smoothly.
