Chapter IX Negotiations
Entering the cave, there is no seat like the palace as Zuo Congrong imagined, but it is simple like a farmhouse, there is only a small wooden table in the simple hut, and four wooden chairs, there is nothing else, looking at the traces around the house, it is obvious that no one has used it for a long time, and it has been cleaned temporarily. Come to think of it, the dragon clan is a dragon-incarnated body without outsiders, and they will definitely not use this house.
"The conditions are simple, there is no special place to receive people, and there is a lot of tolerance. ”
"We took the liberty of interrupting us. ”
"Are you the representatives of the Terrans?" asked the dragon patriarch.
"Yes. After all, he was a hardliner who had served as a military marshal and had experience in commanding the underworld, so it was reasonable to give Lei Guobang this negotiation task.
"More than 3,000 years ago, you human representatives also signed a contract with us in this hut. ”
"Ancestor...... Here?" The crowd was shocked.
"It's been more than 3,000 years, and you came here again, you don't want to break the contract, right?"
"This ......" I didn't expect the dragon clan patriarch to be on time with a single sentence, and it was difficult for Lei Guobang to say a word.
"Three thousand years ago, the dragon clan and the human race signed an agreement, and the human race did not set foot in the southern hemisphere, counting, do you break the agreement this time?" the dragon clan patriarch asked.
"Father's ......"
"Shut up!" Before Sharan could speak, the patriarch unceremoniously interrupted Shalan.
"As far as I know, the Terrans have been weak for a long time now, and with your strength, you should be grateful to Dade for not breaking the agreement and conquering the Northern Hemisphere, why did you break the agreement first and come to the territory of the Dragon Clan now. ”
"Weak? Seeing the patriarch of the dragon clan approaching step by step, Zuo Congrong couldn't help but stand up in the end.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zuo Congrong. ”
"Here is the ...... you talk to" Halfway through his words, the dragon clan patriarch suddenly closed his mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zuo Congrong, and then he dodged in front of Zuo Congrong at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to react to, and his right hand pressed on Zuo Congrong's shoulder.
"Dragons...... You have dragon blood in your veins?" asked the dragon patriarch with a solemn expression.
"Yes. ”
"Say, what's going on!" Seeing Zuo Congrong admitting, the patriarch of the dragon clan was immediately furious, his breath expanded violently, and the force on his right hand increased unconsciously, crushing Zuo Congrong's shoulder. The sound of bones shattering was unusually harsh in the small room.
“......”
“......”
No one would have thought that Zuo Congrong would have such a background, and he was disoriented by the reaction of the dragon clan patriarch for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"You don't need to be angry, Sharan raised me, I'm Shalan's child. ”
“......”
"Don't ask her, she doesn't know what's going on. Seeing that the patriarch turned his gaze to Shalan, Zuo Congrong continued.
"Can you take your hand off first, your shoulder is already crushed, and it's useless to hold on to it. It's in your territory now, and we can't run. Zuo Congrong glanced at the palm on his left shoulder and suggested.
"You say. I'd like to see what you say. "Keep saying that he is Shalan's child, but Shalan doesn't know that there is such a cheap son, and he is still lying here, the dragon patriarch said with a sneer.
"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this formation diagram, right?" As soon as the dragon clan patriarch took his hand away, Zuo Congrong opened the green water system repair formation diagram on his shoulder, and began to heal his injuries, and at the same time, he also schematically unfolded the rune diagram for the dragon clan patriarch and Sha Lan to see clearly.
These formations are unknown to Lei Guobang and others, but Sha Lan and the dragon clan patriarch are clear, and they are the magic seal of the dragon clan.
"This magic book was also given to me by Shalan, and it is a magic book that records the eight magic systems of the dragon clan. Zuo Congrong said.
Zuo Congrong is gambling. When he returned to the past, he said that the only thing he could restore was the material world, and the violators that originally existed in the world could not be repaired, which meant that ritual weapons such as magic books could not be repaired. Since the magic book is still on his body, it means that the existence of this item has not been deprived. Since there is no deprivation, it means that the contradiction caused by this item may not be eliminated. In the previous life, the magic book should still be on Shalan's body at this time, or rather, whether the magic book was on Shalan or not, at least this item was once in the dragon clan. The dragon clan's things now appear on Zuo Congrong's body, no matter whether or not Zuo Congrong's identity can be proved, at least it can be proved that Zuo Congrong is related to the dragon clan.
"Roar!"
Not knowing what the patriarch and Sha Lan were thinking, Zuo Congrong exhaled again. There will not be too much evidence, whether it is the Dragon Clan's magic book or the Dragon Language, it is an important evidence that can prove that he has a relationship with the Dragon Clan, as long as he can win the new trust of the Dragon Clan, the next negotiation will be much easier.
"You even know dragon language?"
"The big hat I wear is also made of Shalan's skin. ”
"What's going on?" asked the dragon patriarch, turning to Sharan.
"She doesn't know anything, it's all from the previous life, I'm the one who came back from the future. I was raised by her. ”
"Probably true, I know where my peeling skin goes, and it can't be passed on to him. Sharan added.
"Hmph, who knows if it's true or not, decades ago you said that there would be an end of the world in the future, let's work together with humanity, and now you bring people back, who knows which of your words is true. How did the dragon clan come up with such a rebel as you? The patriarch said angrily.
"Sharan wasn't lying. Every 5,000 years, civilization will usher in the end of the real ancient period, the environmental pollution in the true ancient period, and the bloody and evil brought about by the killing in the next era......"
"Blood and crime? Then tell me about the true ancient period, human beings stood on the apex of all things, regarded all things as playthings, wantonly tortured and slaughtered, slaughtered living beings, why did the true ancient not be destroyed?"
"It's not to put an end to killing, herbivores eat grass, carnivores eat meat, it's a matter of course, the so-called survival of the fittest is to keep all things in competition, survival of the fittest, and there is nothing wrong with killing. It's just that the invasion of Warcraft once every ten years in the next era regards the survival of natural selection as child's play, and systematically makes humans and Warcraft kill on a large scale, causing bloodshed and finally eroding the earth. If you don't change and experience two more Warcraft invasions, the world will come to an end. ”
"Alarmist. ”
"Isn't it alarmist that you know it yourself, the spiritual sense of Warcraft is far better than that of humans, and you know better than us whether there have been any changes in recent years, and the root cause is this. ”
“......”
"Can you tell me why you're here? ”
"We want to change the content of the agreement on the basis of the original agreement. ”
Do you know what was the basis for the agreement I signed with your ancestors three thousand years ago?"
"Speak, please. "No matter how detailed the historical record is, it is not as convincing as the person concerned, and Zuo Congrong is not very clear about this part of history.
"After the fall of the True Ancients, humanity shifted its stronghold to the northern hemisphere, and there was no trace of humans in the southern hemisphere. Without human intervention, you can't imagine how quickly the ecological recovery would be. Your human civilization began 5,000 years ago, and the appearance of magical elements in the human world was 5,000 years ago. But in fact, magic has been around for 10,000 years and has changed the genes of species. What does this mean, you must know better than me, Warcraft has been entrenched in the southern hemisphere for a long time, and the huge base of Warcraft will probably soon turn the entire world upside down if it is not contained. Three thousand years ago, Warcraft directly entered the Northern Hemisphere and grabbed territory with humans. It wasn't until your ancestors went to the southern hemisphere to negotiate with us that I discovered that human beings had such great power. So we reached a consensus to use human hands to destroy the surplus monsters in the southern hemisphere and maintain the stability of the southern hemisphere's ecology. ”
"Would you like to give me a suggestion, how to change the content of the agreement without disturbing the ecological balance of the southern hemisphere?" asked the patriarch.
"You don't have to worry about this, my suggestion is to keep the southern hemisphere from touching the northern hemisphere, and open the southern hemisphere to humans, when human adventurers will enter the southern hemisphere more to hunt demonic beasts, and divide the extermination once every decade into daily hunting operations, human beings also have a broader hunting ground, and the southern hemisphere has also solved the problem of species expansion, the best of both worlds, how?"
"It's really the mind of a young man. Do you know why your ancestors didn't make an agreement like you did three thousand years ago?"
"Because humans have no power. At most, your power allows you to defend the interests of the northern hemisphere. You simply don't have the strength to reach out to the southern hemisphere. Three thousand years ago, humanity was like this, and now that humanity is weak, you have the ability to reach out to the southern hemisphere?" asked the patriarch.
"It seems that you have a misunderstanding of the human camp. You don't seem to be telling the truth, when the eleventh master Dao Dragon Clan negotiated, you should know better than us how tough the posture was, why bother to deceive us juniors again. The reason why the agreement was signed back then is that the city is like this is, on the one hand, because the human camp has not yet established a perfect system, and it is difficult to form a unified deployment of scattered sand, and there is no way for the eleventh high-rise house to sign such an agreement. On the other hand, it is also because they did not consider that this agreement would have such a big impact on the future, even if the ancestors were powerful, it was impossible to foresee what would happen three thousand years later. ”
"Even if what you say is true, it is also true that human beings are weak now, if it weren't for my agreement, how could human beings still have the scenery they have today. Even if the northern hemisphere pushes another thirty dimensions to the north, it can't stop the pace of the invasion of demonic beasts. ”
"This time, that time. Although he has lost such a powerful figure as his ancestor, but now that the human camp is unprecedentedly united, the efficiency of scheduling and assignment has increased I don't know how many times, and these years can withstand the invasion of Warcraft is not a good example. What's more, now that I'm back, how can humanity still be weak. ”
"What a big breath. ”
"Since there are plans to change the agreement, it is natural that I have the confidence to change the agreement. ”
"That's fine. Now that you have the confidence to change the agreement and the ability to reach out to the southern hemisphere, show us how it is to use force? If you can't pass our test, don't blame me for not being merciful. Now that you're planning to tear up the agreement, I might as well learn from you humans. Now that I know the root of the apocalypse, why don't I take this opportunity to wipe out humanity completely and cut off the bloody events of this decade. ”
"Wait, patriarch, do you think about it again, do ...... do this" Hearing that the patriarch of the dragon clan was so decisive, Lei Guobang suddenly became anxious. It is not clear how this test will be, but if the test fails, the problems facing mankind are a matter of life and death for mankind, and how can we not be in a hurry.
"The opportunity has been given to you, whether you can grasp it is up to you, not me. Before Lei Guobang could finish speaking, the patriarch interrupted him rudely.
"You don't have to scare us, I should do my best to test me, as for whether you can pass the test, it also depends on your sincerity, if you don't want to cooperate, humans are not dolls to be played with by dragons, if you want to eat humans, you also have to see if you have the ability." Okay, what is the test, draw the line and try it. ”
"Wren, you go and prepare, let the clansmen clean up the martial arts arena, and then this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky will be handed over to you. The patriarch smiled contemptuously and handed over the task to Wren.
