Chapter 1133: Fighting the Weak Against the Strong

The messenger's face was calm and his handsome face was expressionless. It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or thoughtful at the moment. But from his slightly clenched fists, I could tell that he must be very angry now and even wanted to punch me in the face. Call up.

But even so, there are some things I still want to say.

"Put aside the matter of allies. After all, the only way out for negotiations between the two countries is to be allies. You can also choose whether to cooperate based on the pros and cons." I said calmly: "Since we want to cooperate, let's first look at the relationship between you and me. Let’s look at the pros and cons. After your country cooperates with Moonlight City, what substantial help can you provide us?”

The envoy said: "We can sell grain and meat for all kinds of livestock to your country at low prices."

"How much do you mean by low price?" I asked again.

"This." The messenger hesitated for a second and said, "We will sell it to you at a price lower than the price of grain and meat exported from Dashai City."

"Do you know the price of the food and meat sold to us in Dashai City?" I continued to ask.

"Yes" the messenger said a set of numbers without hesitation.

I turned to Elder Jennifer, and she nodded at me, which showed that what the messenger said was true.

I thought about it and said, "Your proposal is very tempting, but I really want to know how long you will implement this principle. Is it just for a period of time, or until everyone joins forces to destroy Dashai City, or forever?"

After hearing this, the messenger frowned slightly and said, "This is not something I can decide. I need to explain it to the Lord of the City before making a decision."

"It turns out that you can't be the master and you have to make it clear to the Lord of the City." I sneered: "So, the fact that you just vowed to give us a price lower than the price of the export materials from Dashai City is just talk?"

"No, the city lord has mentioned this before."

"Since he mentioned it, didn't he tell you how long this decision can last?" I continued in an aggressive manner.

The messenger shook his head and said, "No, not really."

This time when he answered, he was already sweating from his temples.

"You just said that Moonlight City is the second most powerful country in the Zephyr Continent, second only to Fort Vicky. So if you, Airui City, want to cooperate with Moonlight City, it is considered a weak fight against a strong one. Since it is a weak fight against a strong one, Shouldn't we show some decent sincerity? Just hitting empty air cannons is totally ineffective."

"May I ask this elder?" the messenger pretended to be calm: "What do you mean by decent sincerity?"

"You shouldn't ask me this." I shook my head and said, "I'm not in charge of diplomacy."

As soon as I said this, I saw the Elf Queen winking at me. I immediately remembered my identity and meowed. I was really uncomfortable with the position of elder when I first became an elder. I always felt like I was just an ordinary person. adventurer.

"Ahem" I coughed lightly to cover up what I just said, and continued: "You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask yourself, and your dear City Lord, what do you need to pay if you want to cooperate with Moonlight City?" price."

After hearing this, the messenger shook his head: "Elder, although Airui City is vast and rich in resources, there is a limit to any price. I would like to hear what the maximum and minimum limits proposed by your country are."

"Well," I thought for a while and said, "I alone cannot make the decision on the price you need to pay, but I can tell you the range of prices I can accept."

"you say."

"The highest price must be endless. Let's skip this. Let's talk about the lowest range." I pondered for a moment and said: "My lowest range has the following points. First of all, during the cooperation period, Airui City must export food to Sai City. We will be provided with an unlimited supply of food and meat at half the price of meat, and the duration is permanent; secondly, residents of Moonlight City need to receive comprehensive safety guarantees when moving to Airui City, and Airui City will be fully responsible for any accidents; thirdly, Once a war is launched against Dashai City, Airui City will be responsible for any transportation and supplies. At the same time, if any adventurer sent to fight is killed, Airui City will need to pay gold coins equal to the volume of the adventurer as compensation."

Before I could finish speaking, the messenger became angry. He interrupted me and said: "Impossible, elder, you are not cooperating, but using force!"

I chuckled and said, "As I said, there is a price to pay for fighting a weak force against a strong one. Since I am the strong one, why shouldn't I be strong?"

"You" the messenger looked angry, but couldn't even say a word.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I'm sorry, elder, but I cannot accept the conditions you just proposed."

"Eh? Isn't this unacceptable?" I spread my hands and said, "That's really a pity. In fact, I still have a few unsaid conditions. Those conditions are really exciting."

After that, the envoy spent a lot of time talking, and the elders also expressed their opinions and opinions. However, most of the answers were similar, and they all told the envoy that it was impossible for Moonlight City to cooperate with the Airui City Alliance.

In the end, the messenger had no choice but to leave in anger.

After the messenger left, the meeting continued. Elder Sonoda Mai asked me a question: "Elder An Xiaoyi, I remember that you fled here from Airui City, right?"

The implication is that I am from Airui City. It is really strange that I did not speak for the Airui City envoy!

I chuckled and said, "I did come here after escaping from Airui City, but that doesn't mean that I am a native of Airui City."

"Are you from Hancheng, York?" Elder Mai Sonoda asked.

"No," I said, "The village where I was born is still some distance away from Airui City. Therefore, I am only from Zefeng Continent, not from any town."

"Hmm -" Elder Mai Sonoda nodded and asked, "What is the name of your village?"

"Huh?" I looked at her doubtfully.

"No, I'm just curious," Elder Mai Sonoda explained.

"Oh" I said: "I'm sorry, Elder Mai Sonoda, the village I live in has no name. It is just a small village. Compared with the smallest towns in several major countries, it is as different as an elephant from an ant. And , my village was completely destroyed due to a mysterious accident when I was still young. I was too late to play, so I just stayed in a cave for the night and survived."

"It turns out it was still such a twists and turns." Elder Mai Sonoda sighed: "I'm sorry to bring back bad memories for you."

"It doesn't matter," I said, "It's actually not a bad memory. When I returned to the village, the village had been turned into ruins, and not a single living person could be found."

My face was calm, my eyes were sincere, and I told lies every word.

Yes, all of the above are lies. They were all made up by me.

After all, I can't let them know that I traveled from the earth, let alone the secret of my left arm.
