When the young elven king, Ridan III, pushed open the door to the palace hall, he saw a scene he had never imagined. All elves do not distinguish between themselves and enemies, they all look like mourners.

The ministers of the Kingdom of Ammelan, who were expelled from the government hall, of course they heard all the discussions between a certain human mage and the World Tree. They just didn't talk to the magician like Wydwalker Fu Teng did. But that desperation is the same as that of a fat elf.

Zhidan III, of course, did not know the psychological activity of this group of people, anyway, as the losing side. It's normal to have an ugly face. But the Wood Elf coalition has the same expression, what the hell is going on? The young king looked inexplicably wonderful.

Lin, who had been paying attention to the government affairs hall, saw the door open, and knew that there was a conclusion inside, so he stepped forward. Zhdan III quickly collected his confused expression and said to the people outside: "Your Excellency Ripwood, Your Majesty, and the Lords of the Kingdom of Ammelan, His Majesty Andrei has made a decision, and he will announce it to you publicly, please enter. ”

The old elven king sitting on the throne still had that solemn face. Even if he succumbs to a disadvantage, he is still respectful and does not have any wavering demeanor. The ministers of the Kingdom of Amellan stood in two rows with the wood elves holding the World Tree clones, on either side of the long table of the conference.

Hitan III stood on the side of the wood elves and accompanied the last seat. Even Liena Titov, who was holding Lahti's doppelganger, was one seat ahead of him, and whoever called this little king was an uninvited guest in the original plan. Lin sat directly across from the old king, on the bench that had been lifted from the high seat. Anyway, it is arrogant enough to lead troops to invade the door, so there is no need to continue to pretend to be a grandson.

Seeing that the two parties were seated, they were all waiting for their answers. André Prier said in a deep voice in his native language: 'Gentlemen, I have decided. In principle, I agree to liberate the shackles of the World Tree Chloy. But-'

A twist, an accent, temporarily suppressed the commotion that might have arisen on the minister's side,

'I have two conditions. If you cannot agree to these two conditions. Then I can only regret to refuse your request and continue the war. ’

The elves used their native language as a sign of caution. Although Lin will also say, he doesn't want to follow the trend on this occasion, and he will lose his momentum. So with a wave of his hand, he said in the lingua franca of the world, which is actually the language spoken by ,—— most human beings: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

You all know what the Kingdom's ban on the World Tree is all about. My first condition is that after the liberation of the World Tree, I want to maintain a minimum of friendship even if I cannot continue to coexist. I don't want you to support the World Tree Chloe in any retaliation against the Kingdom of Amerland. ’

With a flash of thought, Lin reached a consensus with the World Trees in the space of the high-seat meeting. "We can agree to this condition," he said. Peacekeeping also helps to reduce the variability of our plans, and there is no reason to disagree. ”

The old king raised his hand, and continued to suppress what his ministers wanted to say, and said the second condition he had proposed. In fact, the disposition of the World Tree Chloe is not something that I can decide alone. The elders of the Shenmu Guard, they will not obey my orders. So in the attitude of the kingdom of Ammelan, I agreed; But the group of Shenmu Guards, you have to convince yourself. ’

This condition is a bit like throwing the pot, and the trouble that can't be solved by yourself is left to the person who wants to take over to find a way to solve it by himself. However, if you don't ask clearly, it may cause other troubles. Therefore, Lin asked tentatively: "Your Majesty's will, can we use 'any method' to persuade us?" ”

'Rather than by any means, you have to be ready for battle. Those old stubborn people are not as good at talking as I am, and there is bound to be a battle between the two sides. ’

At this time, the corners of the old king's mouth rose slightly, as if he had lost his hand. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it. But that attitude of schadenfreude speaks for itself.

However, I am not afraid of fighting here, and I am most afraid of all kinds of conditions for tying my hands and feet, and I can't show my ability to do it. Therefore, for the conditions proposed by the old elf king, none of the world trees expressed superfluous opinions.

The attitude between the World Tree and the World Tree has always been to fight, and the winner devours the loser. As now, it is rare to come to all discussions. So being threatened to fight, the World Tree and the Wood Elves are not afraid. It can even be said that without a fight, it is not like the conquest and exchange between the world trees.

"Okay." Lin agreed: "Does His Majesty Andre have any other requests?" ”

No, that's all. Under the armies of the monarchs, it seems that you don't know what to do if you put forward too many conditions. In fact, if these two conditions were not met, the covenant between us would be equivalent to non-existence, and I really don't want to say that. ’

"Covenant." The corner of Lin's eyes skimmed to Ridan III. The little king was still a little squirming and dodging at first. Later, he simply sat up straight, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and looked straight ahead, but he didn't dare to look at others.

The discussion was completed in an instant in the space of the high-seat meeting. Lin said on behalf of the World Tree, "In order to protect the World Tree and allow me to wait for the project to go smoothly, it is imperative to form an alliance with your country. Therefore, on behalf of Your Majesty, I endorse this covenant and make a brotherly nation with your country. Your nation will have the same status as the kingdom of Pyathaime and all the Wood Elf tribes, but that also means that there is a necessary effort. In the spirit of mutual assistance of the Ikaruga Alliance, no one can ask for it unilaterally, and no one has the need to give unilaterally. This request, His Majesty Andrei is likely to accept? ”

I agree. And I will do my best to convince the elders of the Kingdom. Andrei Prier stood up, put his hand on his chest, and bowed.

This is the etiquette agreed upon by the elves. There are no hugs, no handshakes, kisses on the cheek, etc., because elves are more distant in interpersonal relationships, and they are reluctant to get too close to people who are not close enough. It is even offensive to touch the body of a king or a noble person.

Although someone is not familiar with the etiquette of elves, some taboos are still understood in advance. lest he commit the absurd tradition of 'if you take off your mask, you have to marry someone back, or be hunted down for thousands of miles'. As for what the ceremonial officials of the Elf Kingdom taught before, they have long been thrown out of the clouds. Therefore, Lin only responded with the etiquette of a magician, which was the most familiar and decent for himself.

After the salute, Lin returned to his usual relaxed posture and said, "Since we have decided to cooperate, then please let Your Majesty inform you of the location of the World Tree." We'll get things done as soon as possible. ”

The old king was a little puzzled by the anxious attitude of a certain magician, and said, "Your Excellency Tripwood, it will take several days to march from the royal city to the location of the World Tree Kloyi. Aren't you going to spend the whole day in my royal city, get ready, and set off early tomorrow morning? ”

Regardless of whether the other party plans to use delaying tactics or not, tomorrow dawn will surprise the resting Wood Elf coalition to solve their own big problems in one fell swoop. Lin could only scoff at the old king's words. How many days does the march take? Even if it takes a few years, it's just that.

However, the other party has behaved so cooperatively, and it is not reasonable to dismantle the stage in person. So Lin restrained his urge to complain about the other party, but in a flash, he appeared at the old king's side, and easily pulled out the box cut from under the small cloak.

The blade of the box-cut version of the Blue Wave Knife is not mirror-treated, but a stone-washed non-reflective knife surface, which is restrained and looks more threatening. Drawing a knife next to a king would have caused a lot of bad associations. Fortunately, the people who can enter the government affairs hall are all people with a certain status or above, and those impulsive guards or young people are still blocked out.

Andrei Prier was pondering the question of who would win and who would lose between him and the magician. Lin tossed the box in his hand, caught the blade, and handed out the hilt.

The hilt of the sword was brought to him, and the old elf king reached out and took it without thinking about it. It's just that what is the purpose behind this magician's actions? Is it to send a knife to represent the meaning of peace? Or is it......

Before Andre Prior could figure it out, Lin summoned in a flash, took the box back in his hand, and then plunged it back into the scabbard under the small cloak. At the same time, he turned to everyone and said, "I already know the location of the World Tree Kloy, I'll go over and establish the reference coordinates first, and you can follow later." ”

After speaking, someone who was about to leave suddenly turned his head to look at the old elf king. After thinking about it for a long time, he put his hand on the old king's shoulder and said, "Since this is your country's World Tree, I think Your Majesty will also go over and have a look." lest there be any problems in the future, so that Your Majesty and the people of your country mistakenly think that we have caused it, which is not good. ”

Without waiting for Andrei Prier's consent, Lin Jing took the old king and disappeared from the eyes of the elves.

In addition to the disappearance of the owner and the king, the allied forces of the Wood Elves and the Pyathaime Kingdom scattered throughout the palace were also in chaos. All of them worked in squadrons near the staff bearer holding the Staff of Transfer. As soon as the personnel of a team arrived, the staff bearer used the staff to pestle the ground, and instantly transferred a squadron and a hundred elves.

As they appeared out of nowhere, the palace returned to its original tranquility as the teams flashed and shifted. The elven ministers looked at each other. There are only traces of the battle, which proves that there was a wood elf invasion here.
