Chapter 918: What to Do After the Battle
“…………”
“In short, that’s about it. Do you understand?”
Duanmu Huai finished telling what he knew, while Algard sat on the throne in a daze, looking stunned, as if he was dreaming.
“Sorry, Judge, I don’t quite understand… No, I should say I can understand… But…”
For a moment, Algard didn’t know what to say, but Euphilia seemed very calm.
“This is equivalent to us discovering an unknown village in the Kingdom of Paletia… Is that right?”
“Primitive village.”
Duanmu Huai corrected Euphilia’s words.
“To be honest, the strength of the Star Alliance is far beyond yours. Even the Demon King’s Army is not their opponent. Even if you want to resist, I guarantee that you will not have a good harvest.”
“But, maybe we can sign a non-aggression treaty, such as autonomy…”
“No.”
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"Why?"
"It's very simple. If the bandits from the Kingdom of Paletia attacked that primitive village and killed all the people inside, would you care or not?"
"……………………"
Now Algard understood.
"The barrier cast by the Demon King shielded this planet for a thousand years. Although the Star Alliance is generally pacifist, there are also bandits and criminals in the Star Alliance. And unfortunately, because the Star Alliance is much stronger than you, even a criminal organization is enough to bomb your Paletia Royal City over and over again. To put it another way, suppose there are wanted criminals from the Star Alliance hiding on this planet, threatening the Star Alliance with the lives of people in this world and saying that if you come here, I will kill everyone here. Do you think the Star Alliance will care or not?"
"………………It's really a headache."
Putting himself in their shoes, Algard also found that this is indeed a problem. Who told me that my planet is in someone else's territory? This is really unreasonable. As for the discussion... Well, it's not that we can't discuss it, but the bigger the fist, the more truth. Since the Inquisitor said that the Star Alliance is so powerful that they can't resist it, then to be honest, Algard really has no other choice.
"By the way, Mr. Inquisitor."
Thinking of this, Algard seemed to have thought of something and looked at Duanmu Huai, but he was interrupted by Duanmu Huai before he opened his mouth.
"The Tribunal does not intervene in human internal political disputes. This is not the situation of magic elves or demons. I will not come forward as your representative."
"Then... Since you came to inform us specifically, you should have some ideas."
"Indeed, at least we have fought side by side. Although the Tribunal will not intervene in the internal affairs of the Star Alliance, I can give you some suggestions... The transaction is the most important."
"Transaction?"
"Yes."
"But... "
Hearing this, Euphilia looked at Duanmu Huai in confusion.
"Mr. Inquisitor, didn't you say that the existence called Star Alliance is far more powerful and superior than us? Do we really have a basis for trade and cooperation?"
"Indeed, in most cases, you don't have any bargaining chips, but in fact, there is something in this world that is very suitable for trading."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai paused and looked at Algard.
"Human magic system."
"Huh? Human magic......?"
"Yes, in fact, there is a similar way of using it in the Star Alliance, but they call it superpowers, and it is quite difficult to train superpowers in the Star Alliance. A superpower user must undergo a lot of training and need to be implanted with a superpower amplifier before they can use superpowers. And because the scope of application of superpower amplifiers is very problematic, there will be a lot of problems and certain dangers. In comparison, human magic training is safer and more widely applicable. If you can use the human magic system as a trading condition, you should be able to reach a good agreement with the Star Alliance."
Duanmu Huai said this not without basis, because the Star Alliance is indeed very rough in the use of psychic energy. Take superpowers for example. These superpowers must first be exposed to a certain degree of zero-element radiation during the mother's pregnancy, and then stimulate their brain nerves to grow a tumor called zero-element tumor, and then stimulate the zero-element tumor through radio waves by implanting superpower implants and amplifiers, so that they can release psychic energy.
To be honest, this is simply... well, anyway, it looks very painful, and in fact it is a very painful way.
Not only that, for Duanmu Huai, this practice actually hides many dangers. After all, if the Chaos Demon contaminates the implant and amplifier, it will be troublesome. To be honest, most of the time, fanatically transforming yourself into the form of the machine soul Da Yue may not necessarily escape the capture of the demon.
And due to religious and ethical issues, psychics are not very popular in the Star Alliance. Many people regard them as monsters transformed by genes and science. And the life span of psychics themselves is also a problem.
After all, every time the superpower bursts out, the tumor is stimulated by electric current...
In comparison, the practice of the human magic system is much more convenient. Although Fulilian did not teach Duanmu Huai the basic knowledge before, if we only infer from theory, the human magic system should be very suitable for the Star Alliance.
"In short, this is all I can say."
"Is that so... But... We are not very familiar with the human magic system..."
Algard was also very depressed. Who told Paletia to choose the crooked tree of elven magic?
"This has nothing to do with me. In short, I have told you all the information. How to use this information next is your own business and has nothing to do with me."
The original history of this planet was that there was a unified kingdom, but later with the invasion of the demons, the unified kingdom was broken. At present, there are several countries together, and they are barely friendly with each other. So how to talk to the Star Alliance and who to talk to is their own problem. Duanmu Huai doesn't care.
Anyway, he has given the information to Algard. Next, it depends on his means as a king. Is he going to use this information to exchange for benefits, or intend to use it as a trump card to obtain the right to represent the negotiation... It depends on what Algard does.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.
After throwing this trouble to Algard, Duanmu Huai patted his butt and ran away, leaving Algard there with a bitter face. But this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai. The Tribunal does not intervene in the political disputes within the human race. It is enough to provide some intelligence for free. Duanmu Huai does not want to care too much about other things.
So in the next period of time, Duanmu Huai's main job is to lead the Dark Night Guards to run around the planet to hunt down the demons. It must be said that although the Demon King is dead, these demons are really unwilling to give up. Fortunately, their reproduction speed is still slower than that of cockroaches, otherwise they may not be able to kill them.
While Duanmu Huai led the Dark Night Guards to hunt down the demons, the Star Alliance also got news about this planet from Zhen Ji Ling. Sure enough, just as Duanmu Huai thought, facing this planet that appeared out of thin air, coupled with the relatively ancient civilization in it, the Star Alliance was also very troubled.
But it didn't work. In the end, the Star Alliance sent a delegation to this planet.
It can be imagined that when the Star Alliance fleet appeared, it brought great panic to the people of this world. Some people even thought that it was the army of the Demon King... and some people claimed that it was a messenger from the goddess...
Well, whatever they say is fine.
Next, the Star Alliance delegation held a closed-door consultation meeting with the kings of several countries, including Paletia. Duanmu Huai didn't care about what was discussed. Although Lumiel said that he could hack into the Star Alliance's communication line to see the situation, Duanmu Huai directly rejected it. He himself didn't like to get involved in political affairs. Besides, this was a matter between the Star Alliance and the people on this planet. Their Inquisition should continue to do the promising work of cleaning up the aliens.
Of course, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Duanmu Huai took a look and thought it was basically acceptable. The Star Alliance will build a space elevator near the equator of this planet and block the planet for 100 years. In these 100 years, the Star Alliance will try its best to guide the civilization of this world to gradually step into and accept the universe. If they can't do it, the blockade period will continue to be extended.
Well, it seems unreasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing unreasonable.
With the current level of civilization on this planet, it is impossible to fly into the sky, let alone fly into the universe.
The construction base of the space elevator will serve as a communication window between the Star Alliance and the civilization of this planet. At the same time, as a reward for providing this planet with a human magic system, the Star Alliance will gradually release some civilization technologies that will not destroy this world to them.
Of course, Duanmu Huai also guessed that the other party was mostly doing it for his face. After all, since the Star Alliance has obtained the human magic system, it means that they know that this planet is very clear about the situation inside the Star Alliance. In addition to the Star Alliance, the only one who can do this is the Tribunal.
So it is normal to give some face to the Tribunal.
By the way, this news has also caused a lot of enthusiasm within the Star Alliance. After all, the Star Alliance civilization belongs to technological civilization. As for magic and other things, they belong to fantasy literature. At first glance, there is actually a human civilization in a magical world, which makes many Star Alliance residents extremely excited, and even expresses the desire to open a tour group to visit it properly...
On the other side of the planet, the situation has also changed. As mentioned before, there was once a unified kingdom on this planet, which was later destroyed in the battle with the demon army. Originally, everyone thought that the current situation was good, but with the appearance of the Star Alliance representatives, the kings of various countries also found that it was not possible to continue to be scattered like this, so they also began to discuss the task of rebuilding the "unified kingdom".
After all, after contacting the representatives of the Star Alliance, those in power were surprised to find that the outside world was so vast, and it was not worth it for them to shrink in a corner of the planet and fight for trivial matters. So now the countries have also begun to discuss how to re-establish a unified country to deal with the negotiations of the Star Alliance.
In general, the communication between the two sides is still going smoothly.
What will happen next - that is none of Duanmu Huai's business.
And now he has other things to do.
"Come on, An, let me show you the destruction magic I learned on that planet."
Standing on the training ground, Duanmu Huai proudly hooked his finger at An, and the latter also looked very happy.
"Mr. Knight, I admit that you are better than me in fighting, but I am better at magic. Magic is not a hammer. You can't just smash it!"
"Haha, is that right? You will know after trying it."
"Okay, no problem!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, An also took out the magic book from his waist and opened it.
"Look, Mr. Knight, I will tell you that the power of magic is not the decisive factor in determining victory or defeat. This is the peace of peace! Watch this, fireball magic!"
Accompanied by An's call, a huge magic circle unfolded from An's head, and then a blazing fireball emerged.
"Come on, Mr. Knight, let me see your strength!"
Looking at An jumping up and down, Duanmu Huai also narrowed his eyes. Ha, little girl, you look pretty good on weekdays, but you jump like this when you encounter magic.
You are really a jerk if you don't fight for three days. I will not give you a good lesson!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his hand and clenched it tightly towards An.
Destruction magic!
"————!"
In just a moment, the huge fireball summoned by An shattered and disappeared without a trace, and the magic circle in her hand was completely broken.
"Hey? How is it possible?"
Looking blankly at the fireball that was just summoned and destroyed above her head, An was also stunned and shocked.
"Wait, why is this happening? How is it possible? My magic was actually... Huh, so cold, wait a minute, hey? Hey?"
At this moment, An suddenly felt cold all over, and when she lowered her head, her face turned pale instantly.
"Wow, what's going on!!!!"
While screaming, An protected her body and squatted on the ground, staring at Duanmu Huai with a red face. The latter showed a smug expression under An's angry eyes.
"How is it? This is my destruction magic. It can not only destroy magic, but also completely destroy your clothes. Not even a piece of cloth will be left! How about it? You are convinced! Hahahahaha!!"
"Mr. Knight, you big pervert————————!!"
