The messenger's face was indifferent, and his handsome face was expressionless, and it was not at all clear whether he was angry or contemplative, but from his slightly clenched fists, I could tell that he must be very angry now, and even wanted to punch me in the face.

But even so, there are some things I still have to say.

"The matter of the alliance is put aside, after all, the negotiation between the two countries, not only the alliance is the way out, but also according to the pros and cons, choose whether to cooperate or not" I said lightly: "Since you want to cooperate, let's first look at the pros and cons between you and me, after your country cooperates with Moonlight City, what substantive help can you provide us?" ”

The messenger said: "We can sell grain and meat of all kinds of animals to your country at low prices. ”

"What do you mean by low price?" I asked again.

"This ......," the messenger hesitated for a second, "and we will sell it to you at a price lower than the price of grain and meat exported from Dasai City." ”

"Do you know the price of the grain and meat that Dasai City sells to us?" I continued.

"Yes," the messenger did not hesitate to say a set of numbers.

I turned to Elder Jennifer, who nodded at me, and the messenger was right.

I thought for a moment and said, "Your offer is tempting, but I'm curious to know how long you'll live up to this principle, just for a while, or until everyone joins forces to destroy Dasai, or forever?" ”

After hearing this, the envoy frowned slightly, and said, "This is not something I can decide, and I still need to explain it to the city lord before making a decision." ”

"It turns out that you can't be the master, you have to explain it to the city lord," I sneered: "So the fact that you swore just now that you could give us a price lower than the export materials of Dasai City is just talking?" ”

"No, this is something that the lord of the castle mentioned before......"

"Since he mentioned it, didn't he tell you how long this decision would last?" I continued to speak aggressively.

The messenger shook his head and said, "No, no. ”

This time, his temples were already sweating.

"You just said that Moonlight City is the second most powerful country in the Zephyr Continent, second only to Castle Vicky in strength, so if you want to cooperate with Moonlight City, it can be regarded as a weak to a strong, since it is a weak to a strong, should you show some decent sincerity, only fighting a virtual air cannon is completely ineffective."

"May I ask this elder," the messenger pretended to be calm, "what do you mean by decent sincerity?" ”

"You shouldn't ask me this," I said, shaking my head, "I'm not in charge of diplomacy......"

As soon as I said this, I saw the Elf Empress squeezing her eyes at me, and I remembered my identity again, and meowed, I really couldn't adapt to the position of an elder when I first became an elder, and I always felt that I was just an ordinary adventurer.

"Cough" coughed lightly, covering up what I had just said, I continued: "You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask yourself, and your dear city lord, what kind of price do you need to pay if you want to cooperate with Moonlight City. ”

After hearing this, the envoy shook his head: "This elder, although my Eri City is vast and rich, there is a limit to any price, and I would like to hear what the maximum and minimum proposed by your country are. ”

"Well......" I thought for a moment, "I can't decide the price you have to pay, but I can tell you how much I can accept." ”

"You say."

"The maximum price must be endless, this is skipped, let's talk about the lowest range" I pondered for a moment, and said: "My minimum range has the following points, first, during the cooperation period, Ari City must supply us with unlimited food and meat at half the price of the grain and meat exported by Dasai City, and the duration is permanent; Second, the residents of Moonlight City need to be fully safeguarded when they move to Ari City, but if there is any accident, Ari City needs to be fully responsible; Thirdly, in the event of a war against Dasai City, any transportation and supplies will need to be borne by Ari City, and at the same time, if any adventurer sent to fight in the past is killed, Eri City will need to pay a gold equivalent to the size of the adventurer as compensation......"

Before I could finish speaking, the messenger became angry, and he interrupted me, "Impossible, this elder, you are not cooperating, but powerful!" ”

I smiled: "It's all said, there is a price to pay for the weak to fight the strong, since I am on the strong side, why not be strong?" ”

"You ......" the messenger looked angry, but he couldn't even say half a word.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry, Elder, I can't accept these conditions you just proposed. ”

"Huh? Is this unacceptable? I spread my hands and said, "That's a pity, in fact, I still have a few conditions that I haven't said, and those conditions are really wonderful." ”

After that, the envoy had a hard time talking, and the elders all expressed their opinions and opinions, but most of these answers were similar, telling the envoy that it was impossible for Moonlight City to cooperate with the Ari City Alliance.

Eventually, the messenger had no choice but to leave.

After the envoy left, the meeting continued, and Elder Sonoda Mai asked me, "Elder An Xiaoyi, I remember that you fled from Eri City and came here, right?" ”

The implication is that I am from Eri City, and it is really strange that I did not speak for the envoy of Eri City!

I smiled and said, "It's true that I fled from Ari City to come here, but that doesn't mean I'm from Eri City." ”

"Are you from Yorkhan?" Elder Sonoda asked.

"No," I said, "The village where I was born is still some distance away from Ari City, so I'm just from the Zephyr Continent, not from any town. ”

"Hmm-" Elder Sonoda nodded and asked again, "What's the name of your village?" ”

"Huh?" I looked at her suspiciously.

"No, I'm just curious," Mai Sonoda explained.

"Oh," I said, "I'm sorry, Elder Sonoda, but the village I live in has no name, it's just a small village, and it's like the difference between elephants and ants compared to the smallest towns in the country, and besides, my village was completely destroyed by a mysterious accident when I was not a big man, and I was too late to play and stayed in the cave to survive." ”

"It turns out that there are still such twists and turns," Elder Sonoda Dancer sighed, "I'm sorry for bringing back your bad memories." ”

"It's okay," I said, "it's not a bad memory, and when I went back to the village, it was in ruins, and half of the living people couldn't be found." ”

My face was indifferent, my eyes were sincere, and I told lies word by word.

Yes, all of the above are lies, and I have made them up.

After all, I can't let them know that I've crossed over from Earth, let alone the secret of my left arm.
