Chapter 1522: Each has a ghost
[First send and then change~]
As the official representatives of the Avalon fleet, Galadriel and Estelle received a warm welcome from His Majesty the Emperor of Europa after the fleet docked, and this enthusiasm made the smiles on the faces of the two elves brighten.
With their knowledge of the human world, the authority of the emperor is quite large, which means that the entire Europa Empire is full of expectations for the upcoming journey of Avalon and the establishment of diplomatic relations with Europa, which is undoubtedly good news for the elves who want to expand and influence.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty Reinhardt, you are one of the few visionaries among mankind!" Galadriel was smiling in the banquet hall as he tasted the low-alcohol fruit wine made by humans.
His Majesty Reinhardt glanced at several other ministers with smirks, and helplessly raised his glass to cater to him: "Cheers to the new order of humans and elves!" ”
"I love the word, for the new order!" Estelle took the initiative to clink glasses with Reinhardt, and drank all the wine in the glass with a rare arrogance of the elves.
Even though it was only a low-alcohol fruit wine, there was still a hint of blush on the faces of the two elves, which was smoother than the most ideal contact they expected.
The Europa Empire agreed to all of Avalon's requests, such as declaring that elves and humans have the same rights and interests within the territory of the Europa Empire, prohibiting the trade of elven slaves throughout the territory, and the elves could enter and exit the city-states at will, and even establish their own trade routes, while the Europa Empire only charged a symbolic tariff.
Avalon, on the other hand, only needs to open its market to the Europa Empire, open its own large library, and allow human apprentices to enter the academy and take over education with the elves.
In Reinhardt's eyes, the elves of Avalon were like a group of children who had just come out of an ivory tower, with a hint of flattery in their tones and a hint of innocence, constantly swaying on both sides, sometimes a little to one side, sometimes a little to that side.
Moreover, these elves really don't understand politics, and a thousand years is both a long enough time for the elves to make them unable to distinguish the difference between a state and a city-state.
In the territory of the Europa Empire, the elves will enjoy the same rights and interests as humans, this ridiculous condition Reinhardt agreed to not even a little wave, in the war between the EU union and the large trusts, there are many ways to feed a million-level group of lawyers, even the EU government does not know which people enjoy what kind of rights, it all depends on the level of lawyers on both sides, the elves want to get started, how can it take a generation.
The prohibition of the elven slave trade is a condition for free delivery, and from beginning to end in the circle of human civilization, except for a few maverick regimes, no country openly allows the emergence of the slave trade, and those industries are illegally operated.
As for trade routes and tariffs, the Europa people have no intention of squeezing the elves' necks, and for a country like Europa that is preparing to enter industrialization, how many raw materials can an elven regime procure each year? How much tariff can it contribute?
But what does it also mean for a country on the verge of industrialization to have a closed market that hangs in the balance, a closed market that has accumulated wealth for thousands of years and has nowhere to put it? It means amazing benefits, just by getting the market of Avalon, His Majesty Reinhardt can sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, waiting for those consortia to take the initiative to cut the flesh and show favor to him in all aspects, not to mention that they also got the terms of magical knowledge that represent the highest productivity in this world.
Think about the elves' great library, it is said that even the people in the loess region are taking the initiative to collect the magic knowledge of the elves, and Reinhardt is just sitting here, and there are elves who take the initiative to contribute these precious knowledge, and are willing to help them cultivate the casters of the elven magic system, this feeling makes the smile on the face of His Majesty the Emperor even brighter.
Galadriel's smile is equally bright, what the elves need most is a window to express their attitude to the outside world, and now that they have it, it is even more unexpected to be able to get the right to trade, and the major city-states of Avalon have been in a state of resource shortage in various senses.
Whether it's armaments, building materials, or spellcasters, it's not just safety, but it also means a lack of resources, and the elves have no channels to purchase outside.
As for the elven slave trade, to be honest, for the real elven leadership, this matter really doesn't matter, it's just a propaganda ploy to increase racial cohesion, how many elves can be captured by humans every year?
Humans have no ability to get close to Avalon at all, and those captured elves are basically unwilling to be managed by Avalon and secretly escape, and more are those wild elves who live in seclusion all over the world and give up their civilization and inheritance, and no one cares about their life or death.
And Galadriel and Estelle in the open market really don't care, the elves' exquisite aesthetics, and the sense of superiority engraved in their bones make them look at any human product with contempt, they really don't know what human beings have that are worthy of the elves' fancy products.
As for the Great Library and the Academy of Magic, the former is the ocean of magical knowledge that the elven spellcasters have restored and established after a lot of hard work after the era of the elven royal court, which keeps countless incomplete ancient books and complex magical mysteries, not to mention human beings, and the elves themselves are digging knowledge little by little in an archaeological posture.
Mankind? Let them learn the ancient elven language of fifty years first.
And the Academy of Magic, as soon as he thought of this, Galadriel couldn't help but want to remind this human king who has always been very friendly, after all, Avalon's Academy of Magic inherited the orthodox education system of the Elven Royal Court, and the minimum school period was eighty years, and many low-level spellcasters often failed to complete their studies in two or three hundred years during the era of the Elven Royal Court.
In short, both sides felt that they had earned it, so the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but start spying on what Avalon produced and what it needed to import, while Estelle was full of praise for the low-alcohol fruit wine in his hand, hoping to buy a few hundred bottles to take back as samples and recommend them to the elves of Avalon.
The peace was eventually shattered by Galadriel, who revealed that a group of slavers who had previously attacked the Elves of Avalon were now hiding in Shabak City, hoping that His Majesty Reinhardt would punish them.
Although Reinhardt was ready to betray the American imperialists before this, he still scolded in his heart that the damn American imperialists were simply a group of moving pests and could not do anything.
At this time, the Minister of City Defense quietly sent a message to Reinhardt, saying that the representative of the American Imperialists was willing to take the initiative to hand over the American Imperialist players who had attacked the elves, hoping that he would be aware of the situation and not implicate others.
