Chapter 39 Vegetable Market

"This is my plan, as part of the alliance, we hope to be able to get the right to buy the market price of the thirty commodities on this list, and also, we hope that the elven merchants will be able to enter your city freely."

In the spacious conference hall, the elves were still so luxurious that even the corners of the tables were carved with elven sword dances, and I almost dozed off listening to the negotiations between the two sides.

"Military and political Anne talks, business has Margaret's assistance, and there is no business for me, and idleness is idle, then, find some fun."

"Of course, the market prices of 23 of these common commodities are acceptable, but seven commodities, such as mercury, dragon poison, and second-processed liquid sulfur, are all officially controlled or prohibited commodities, and it is impossible to allow them to be sold outside unless you agree to reciprocal trade for those special commodities on our list. And, as long as your Dark Elf Merchant is a serious businessman, not a spy or killer in the guise of a merchant, why should you be afraid of our scrutiny. Pushing her eyes, Eliza said.

"Eldest sister, you still bargain for this cucumber, okay, take all the two pieces and five pieces, but you have to bring these tomatoes. Don't worry, it's all fresh and good. ”

"Hehe, little girl, then it's open one-to-one. To be honest, these economic and trade exchanges are just a precursor to deepening ties. Perhaps, it's time for us to get down to business. For example, about the power of your law. Kaya laughed.

"Hehe, little young, then that's it, this little money aunt doesn't care, by the way, how do you sell that little yellow croaker?"

This time, Eliza frowned slightly, but did not say anything, but looked at Anne.

"Well, that's up to Anne. If you dark elves are interested in the power of the law, you can send someone to the city of Brimstone to learn, but you must swear in the name of the queen that you will not cause harm to the citizens, and at the same time, you must also declare that you will not hunt down the dark elves of the city of Brimstone. ”

"Well, if you want a little yellow croaker, if you want it, twelve yuan a catty, the low price will be given to you. This little yellow croaker is fresh, and it is best to eat it when boiled. However, if you accept the small yellow croaker, then don't worry about the previous potato debt. ”

Hearing Anne's answer, Kaya shook her head.

"The will of the queen of the spider cannot be slackened, the traitors must be eliminated, we elves have time to wait, let these traitors wait patiently for the end of the day, okay, let's not talk about these disappointments, perhaps, we can talk about deeper topics, for example, the military alliance against a certain side, of course, it is an alliance that will not be written on paper."

"That's not good, our canteen boss is a clear account, and the potatoes will have to be paid sooner or later, but let's talk about other things, such as when will we go together to beat up the big fat who is always bullying, of course, if it is discovered by the big fat in advance, I won't admit it."

Obviously, the previous ones were all appetizers, and the current private military alliance is the reason why there will be a secret agreement today, Anne hesitated, but Eliza's eyebrows were tightened, and her face was full of frost, as if she was in trouble.

Oh, it should be very troublesome, of course it will be very troublesome, this decision represents these countless lives and futures, but it is necessary to be under pressure to grow and progress, I am optimistic about you, Eliza, Anne.

"Wait a minute." Finally, she made up her mind, stood up straight, and walked in front of me.

"The hosts!!!" Are you enough? Don't play those boring grocery shopping jokes in my head, don't hinder our negotiations!! ”

"Ah, did I say it accidentally? Sorry, sorry. "Apologize insincerely, and then bow your head and lower your sense of vomiting, of course, you have to have an object, and talking to yourself has become a neurosis.

Well, in the eyes of outsiders, Eliza just stood silently in front of me, staring at me, and then I remained silent, as if by default, giving the other party the right to make decisions. "It's rude." After apologizing, Eliza took her seat again.

"Actually, I'm right, negotiating this thing is not bargaining, calculating, and buying vegetables in the market?"

"I'm thinking about something, please be quiet."

Okay, okay, you know that bullying old bones, annoying old bones, it's always okay for old bones to go out for a walk.

It just so happened that I was also tired of the boring air in the negotiation room, so I got up and took my leave

"Please be careful all the way, go back to the station early, don't pick up food on the ground, don't make too many children cry, lest their parents come to the door, and don't do bad things to get caught, I don't know the security bureau here, I don't want to go to get people again."

Well, stay away from the nagging of old children behind your back, and generally reflect on whether you have made a mistake, how the cute little girl who was afraid of the dark and lonely, and would pull the corner of my clothes to sleep together as long as the stormy weather was in the storm, became more and more poisonous and distorted under my education.

Along the way, under Eliza's cold gaze, she pretended to ignore those elven hostesses. It's a pity that the eyes and the vague invitation are the dark elves. Human art and all kinds of skills are also their world-renowned "art treasures", and they are every man's dream

Well, I can't do much without that poisonous tongue maid, but think about it, as a man, imagine that it's not a crime!! Eliza! Don't sing "Father-in-law migraine" in my head!! I really shouldn't have taught you to sing pop songs in the first place! Don't even tell your father-in-law whatever!

"Hmph, when I'm resurrected"

Before leaving, I took one last look at Anne, who was talking, hoping that she would soon be on her own so that I could receive the resurrection

Little did I know that when I left, all the Dark Elf Hostesses were relieved almost at the same time.

"That robe and mask seem to be artifacts, and the true appearance and strength inside them are completely undetectable."

"There is no change in the slightest, the heartbeat cannot be perceived, close your eyes, there is no zĂ i at all, what kind of zĂ i is this."

"A demon? Mankind? Genie? Undead? It is completely unknowable, the two little girl representatives obviously rely on his judgment, and they are destined to leave at this time, for what? Is there some conspiracy. ”

In a sense, the only obstacle to this negotiation is the sleepless one.

In the eyes of the Dark Elf Mothers who have experienced countless years, being powerful is not terrible, terrible, and always unknown, and the person who has no sleep is too weird and dangerous.

"As the discoverer of the power of a new order, it is not an exaggeration to overestimate the Sleepless. If the power of the law is destined to become a powerful order of the Light, we will face a future god. But no matter what, his departure is a good thing for the negotiation or, let the 'shadow' follow him, if there is a chance"

Rehina, the first mastress of Morsoblay City, is still a neighbor of Brimstone Mountain City in a sense, although those strange defected dark elves who believed in the Holy Light made the original first family lose the trust and favor of the spider queen, and also allowed Reshina's Sphinx family to ascend to the throne.

But in any case, Diana, who defected and lived more and more nourishingly, has always been a disgrace to Mosoblay City, and if she can't erase this shame in time, the spider queen has never been a reasonable true god, and the tragic situation of the former first master mother who was turned into a spider elf and wailed is still vivid.

But at the same time, Kaya, who was talking to Anne, suddenly glanced at her, as if she saw through her selfishness.

"If you have the opportunity, you will give a small gift, deepen the emotional exchange with which adult, and form an alliance with the emerging overlord of Brimstone Mountain City to compete for the dominance of the entire underground covenant, but it is a major matter related to the entire dark elf race, and no one will be short-sighted enough to affect the overall situation for personal desires."

Even if Recina changed her words quickly enough, the moment Kaya's eyes lingered on her, her heart felt like it stopped beating, and her vest was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Kaya was able to master a small half of the dark elf race, just Rose's favor was not enough, among the ruthless dark elves, this supreme priestess who always had a smile on her face, also made the rebels frightened with bloody suppression, otherwise, how could the dark elves who were glorified by the rebellion in the next gram obey this nominal supreme leader.

"Then the gift is prepared by you, the Venerable Sphinx Lord Mother. Now we really need a trustworthy ally. ”

"Yes, that's my pleasure and I'll do it perfectly."

There's no time for the other housemothers to snicker, Rehina. The Sphinx only had the happiness of the rest of his life.

"So, let's determine the communication channels between them."

The alliance of the two major forces, even if it is an alliance with its own evil intentions, has too many details to discuss one by one, and this meeting is destined to be held for a long time.

And I don't really care, no, I should say that I don't have to.

As I said to Eliza, the negotiation between countries and forces is actually no different from buying vegetables in the market, it is nothing more than that if you give me two cents, I will give you an extra turnip and potato.

When the market level is fixed, no matter how skilled the negotiation is, it is a slight fluctuation on the price level.

To put it bluntly, the outcome of the negotiation is often determined before the negotiation, and what is not available on the battlefield is not available at the negotiating table, well, I know that there are exceptions, so let's not mention that uncomfortable history, if the ruler is mediocre to that point, how to talk and fight is meaningless.

The more urgent the party, the easier it is to lose the initiative in the negotiation, and the more chips the party has, the easier it is to exchange small for big and make big gains.

And thanks to our efforts during this time, the initiative in the negotiations is already in the hands of Brimstone Hill City, and Moriel and Tao have been moving continuously lately. As cunning and changeable as the devil behind him, Airul is clearly a duplicitous person who can't be relied on, and with the Dark Elf Housemothers who never know what a loyal Dark Elf Housemother is, the pressure on Kaya should be high.

I remember that in the original "history", in the epic battle of the underground Covenant counterattack on the ground ten years later, the supreme leader of the dark elves was the abdication of the dark elf master mother named Victoria, and he never made peace, let alone abdicated voluntarily, after all, it often represents a worse ending than death.

Well, whether it is her or the dark elf forces she represents, they are in need of allies right now.

As for Brimstone Mountain City, this negotiation and even the application to join the underground covenant can be completely negotiated and turned away, at least, before my inconvenient little jokes and small arrangements are exposed, Brimstone Mountain City really has no reason not to wade into this troubled waters.

Since the initiative of the negotiation is in hand, the other party has a request not to say anything to us, and has made up his mind to form an alliance with Brimstone Mountain City, then, the dark elves must negotiate, but we don't care about the outcome of the negotiation and there are many bargaining chips, no matter how this negotiation is negotiated, the winner will be us.

This is also the reason why I have been dragging my feet not to contact Kaya and Estner, I just want to make them anxious, worried that we will reach a reconciliation with Tao and Moriel, which will cause the balance within the covenant to be tilted again.

This is why I would say that the outcome of the negotiation was determined long before the negotiation, and after I was sure that Anne and Eliza's negotiation skills were above the level and that they were not timid, I left with peace of mind.

And at this moment, walking through the streets of Vitan, looking at this alternative prosperity, I am also going to start my own plan.

"I, Roland the Sleepless, am not a magnanimous man. Since you dare to attack Brimstone Mountain City, you should also think of the issue of retaliation, Tao, Moriel, it's time to pay back what you owe me. ”
