Positive things.

This sentence has a more popular translation: an advantage that cannot be refused.

Perhaps it was because the news about the doomsday crisis and the cloud of war in the first half of the journey brought too much pressure to everyone, or maybe everyone had heard enough of such deterrent and unpleasant topics, when Gao Wen finally decided to put away When the big stick took out the sweet dates, the representatives on the scene applauded unanimously, and with the heartfelt applause from many people, the elf affairs officers who provided services at the venue distributed documents to the representatives in front of.

This is a document that Gawain has prepared for a long time - he specifically told the elves to wait until now to bring it out.

"First of all, let's take a look at the draft of the "Charter of the Commonwealth of Mortal Civilizations"—if you think this name is too awkward, you can shorten it to the "Charter of the Commonwealth," after confirming that the representatives have obtained the document and started to read it Gao Wen said, "This is just a draft, which will be used to establish the order framework of the alliance, including the basic operation mode of the alliance, the responsibilities and obligations of member states, and the transaction execution process. Its core items cannot be modified for the time being. , but we still have the opportunity to discuss its details or modify its content in the event of future changes in the situation.”

Under a stone pillar somewhere in the meeting place, a flag with a black hammer as the main element is fluttering slightly. Paladin Huishanyan is sitting in his own seat. He opens the "Charter" in front of him, and the first part of it These are the tenets mentioned by Gawain Cecil just now - member states help each other, and all countries have the responsibility and obligation to ensure the interests of the entire alliance; openness and transparency, honesty and mutual trust; political status of all countries is equal, and member states respect each other And recognize the culture, tradition, and reasonable demands of all parties...

"This looks like a 'sage declaration'," Balamo Heigan, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help muttering softly, "It's hard to imagine that this is one of the most powerful empires in the Loren Continent. What came out... You must know that according to my understanding, even if these arrogant human countries show their fairness and justice in foreign exchanges, they must maintain a certain attitude-this is related to their 'dignity'. "

"Yes, they like to think of 'fairness' as some kind of external gift...not as mentioned in this document. But think about it the other way around, if both the human empire and the elf empire recognize and are willing to abide by This thing... this is indeed a good thing," Ambassador Paladin said in a low voice, "at least they are willing to make such a gesture."

"Yes, if the content on this thing can be complied with," Baramo muttered, flicking his fingers on the beautifully printed paper, "It's such a beautiful package... What should the next human emperor do?" Come up with something more substantial."

Around the two dwarven ambassadors, in the entire conference hall, representatives from various countries carefully read the items mentioned in the charter and exchanged their ideas, and Gawain gave everyone enough time—until more and more The representative put down the draft in his hand, and he opened his mouth to break the silence: "Let's put aside the discussion about the charter first, and then I hope you pay attention to our economic order-I brought the "Basic Act of World Trade", and special regulations on the circum-continental routes. China's Maritime Trade Promotion Act..."

Paladin Huishanyan couldn't help muttering: "Oh—man, something more solid is coming."

When his voice fell, Gao Wen's voice continued: "...and these bills are sent to you, and there are some real and reliable data, which will help you understand the significance of joining international trade , we can see from the data how the total amount of imports and exports between Moss Forest and Cecil has increased by 22 times in the past two years, and we can also see how the trade between Cecil and the Principality of Shenglong Increase the tax revenue of the port city by 400%..."

Paladin Huishanyan's expression suddenly froze, like a stone in his hometown, froze,

He felt his arm being poked hard, and Palamo's voice came from the side: "...Dude, have we discussed this before?"

"...I just want to know how much money those gray elves made!"

...

The first meeting lasted a whole day. Except for a limited break and meal in the middle, the representatives of all countries devoted all their energy to listening, thinking, speaking and summarizing. Until sunset, a melodious bell sounded from stronghold 112 It came from the depths of the oath, and a series of pleasant ringing sounded in the oath stone ring at the same time. This high-intensity mental activity that lasted for a whole day finally came to an end temporarily.

After returning to the resting place in the town, Gawain took a long breath to let his high-intensity brain cool down slowly. He glanced at the sunset sky outside the window, and the giant eagle knights who were patrolling between the sky and the earth. He whispered to himself softly: "The opening went well."

"I feel that the state of many people is very different when they enter and leave the arena," Amber's figure emerged from beside him, and the half-elf was quite emotional, "They all came in high spirits, but when they went back At this time, everyone's eyebrows are almost twisted into knots..."

"Because this meeting is somewhat different from what they imagined, no matter in terms of the form of the meeting or the long-term impact it exhibits," Gao Wen's tone was not surprising, "For more than half of the delegates, they I probably just thought it was an 'alliance meeting', just like the talks they had participated in to establish a covenant between kingdoms. Everyone came up with their own conditions, promised each other benefits, and made a solemn-looking oath , and became an ally for a while... This understanding is not entirely wrong, but it is too narrow after all. The Community Alliance is a longer-lasting, more solemn, and more meaningful organization than that. I tried to reflect this aspect at the meeting , which was unexpected by many people.”

Amber waved her hand: "But you can't blame them—it's hard for people to imagine things that they have never touched."

Gawain glanced at the half-elf with a half-smile, "It's rare to see you being so tolerant of 'big shots'."

"I'm not blind, I can still see how the 'big shots' at the venue are doing today, at least they're not stupid, aren't they?" Amber raised her eyebrows, "They all figured out the situation, so their performance is not bad. "

Gao Wen smiled, and did not continue on this topic, but said slowly after a little thought: "The most important votes will be held tomorrow... According to your judgment, what will happen?"

"...I think there is a high probability that unanimous votes will be passed, including the establishment of the alliance and the establishment of the joint sea and air security circle." Amber thought about it seriously this time, and gave her own answer, "You have shown them enough The crisis that made everyone wake up and unite, demonstrated the necessity of joining the alliance, and finally offered them an advantage that they could not refuse... I think except for fools who are too cautious to make any decisions, No one should reject these two most basic proposals."

"A benefit that can't be refused..." Gao Wen couldn't help muttering softly, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

In the first half of the meeting, he was basically creating a crisis atmosphere in the world, including Melita Purnia's speech afterwards, which was also helping him achieve this. This method was not very clever, but at this time he had to use—— Only by facing external pressure together can there be a chance for the forces of all parties to join together. Visible and persistent natural disasters are often an important part of promoting alliances. The performance of the representatives of all parties in the first half of the meeting has indeed proved this point .

But just having an external pressure is not enough—Gao Wen understands one thing from his past and present life, that is, there will always be some illogical things happening in this world. In the chaos, they fight on their own and even attack each other, that is, some people will maintain suspicion and isolate each other to protect their own one-acre three-point field. The alliance of mortal forces must face this "negative characteristic of human nature". Therefore, he not only needs an external pressure to "squeeze" the various forces together, but also needs enough internal interests to ensure that these forces can be stable. joint.

This includes a "Basic Act of World Trade" that is beneficial to everyone, a "Maritime Trade Promotion Plan" that is far-reaching to countries around the continent, many conventions designed to protect the basic interests of weaker member states, and A copy of the "Charter of the Alliance of Mortal Civilizations" (referred to as the "Charter of the Commonwealth"), these things were specially prepared by Gao Wen to attract those potential member states who had doubts about the future of the alliance and were in a swinging state, and from the second half of the meeting Judging by the reactions of the delegates...it worked out pretty well.

A power representative who can appear at today's meeting may lack understanding of the doomsday crisis, but he must have a keen sense of interests, even in the face of a lot of new and weird provisions and plans, smart people It is also bound to be able to smell the taste of long-term benefits.

The alliance relationship bound by interests is fragile. Gao Wen is actually very aware of this, but at this stage... it seems that there is no better solution.

At this moment, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Amber's voice: "We seem to have guests."

Before Amber opened her mouth, Gao Wen had already sensed that there was an approaching breath in the corridor, and shortly after Amber's voice fell, the sound of an attendant knocking on the door came from the direction of the door. After a brief announcement, the door of the lounge opened , a familiar figure appeared in front of Gao Wen.

Melita Purnia.

Miss Lan Long, who is now the ambassador of the Dragon Clan, straightened her expression immediately after entering the door, and bent down towards Gao Wen: "Salute to you, the great..."

Gao Wen hurriedly interrupted without waiting for the other party's voice to finish: "Stop, stop, there is no need to be so formal - we are friends in private, aren't we?"

"Your Majesty the great Emperor Cecil—it's even more uncomfortable to hold back when you have finished speaking," Melita ignored Gawain's interruption, and still quickly said the embarrassing honorific to the end, and then she said He raised his head and looked at Gao Wen with a relaxed and natural smile on his face, "I'm not a late-night disturbance, am I?"

Gao Wen subconsciously remembered the first meeting between Miss Blue Dragon and him. It seemed that it was really a late-night interruption, which made him laugh. Walking along the road, he raised his hand as an invitation gesture: "It's just evening, far from being late at night. Come in, I happen to be quite free."

Melita nodded in thanks, and was not polite afterwards, and went straight to the seat by the fireplace—although it is already spring, in this elf stronghold located in the north of the mainland and close to the border of the wasteland, the temperature at night can still be called In the cold, a small fire in the fireplace can bring comfortable warmth, and the elegant elf-style decorative bricks are also a good decoration in the room.

While Melita was seated, Gawain also sat down on the opposite chair, and Amber took refreshments from the side and put them on the small table in front of the fireplace, then sat down carelessly beside Gawain, and then used the pair of Amber The blue eyes looked up and down at the blue dragon sitting opposite: "Speaking of which, I really didn't see it before. You actually have the talent to be an ambassador—you seem more sophisticated than many professional diplomats when you speak."

"Actually, I was so nervous throughout the whole process that I almost forgot what to say several times." Melita sighed helplessly, "The sophistication in your eyes is just a little experience accumulated when introducing business to clients when you are an agent. .”

"The performance is already very good," Gao Wen said with a smile, "the news you brought has achieved the desired effect, and the appearance of the dragon group has successfully calmed down the whole situation. And there are giant dragons from Tarrond joining The representatives of various countries in the alliance will also dispel many doubts, and the original swing members will also be firm."

"Today's Tarrond is just an empty shell," Melita said, shaking her head, "but I'm not here to talk about that."

Hearing this, Gao Wen immediately stopped the conversation, and his expression became serious: "Given how busy you are now, I'm afraid it's unusual for you to come to me at this time, isn't it?"

Melita nodded slightly, her expression became very solemn: "Do you still remember that there is a tower on the sea northwest of Tarrond?"

Hearing Miss Lanlong's words, Gawain instantly became serious, and he frowned slightly: "'Against the Tide'?"

"Yes, it is the tower that was once polluted by the God Against the Tide," Melita said in a deep voice, "for more than a million years, the dragons of Tarrond have been watching over that dangerous tower , our god... He has been vigilantly watching the situation of the tower when he was still there, but now a war has changed everything, Tarrond is almost completely destroyed, and the god is no longer there, the tower is still there Standing at sea, but already in an unsupervised state."

Gao Wen subconsciously became nervous: "You mean...the tower has changed?"

"Not yet, but this matter must be alerted," Melita said solemnly, "Just now, a fellow of the same family flew from Tarrond and brought me a message from the leader of Heragor. Letter, in which the Chief mentioned his concerns about the Tower."

"What is he worried about?"

"He is worried that those out-of-control compatriots may not only come to harass Loren Continent," Melita said, "If they really lose their heads, they are more likely to be attracted by that tower first, and they will be attracted by the 'knowledge' in the tower." 'Fly to the Loren Continent after the pollution... At that time, their harm may not be as simple as plundering food and property."
