Broad World

The temporary meeting room at the back of the hall is a very simple study room, without too many exquisite decorations and sculptures, only a few tall bookshelves, which are full of books related to society, history, gods, poetry, etc., see It should be a place for the elf queen to relax and play. ↗ Vertex Fiction,

There is no table, and a few wicker chairs are placed in front of the window in a circular shape. Alison is sitting dignifiedly in the innermost position. On her left and right are four male elves in gorgeous clothes and wearing different family badges.

Obviously, they are all the most prominent nobles in this city, controlling more than half of the power just like the queen, and almost all of them are professionals hovering on the edge of legend, especially the slightly old guy in the robe , the body contains extremely powerful magic power, I am afraid that it is not far from a legendary mage.

It seems that the background of the elves is really not comparable to that of most human kingdoms. It is hard to imagine that after experiencing such a catastrophe, they can still have so many powerful high-end military forces, at least to deter those who are about to move in the Verdas Forest. There is absolutely nothing wrong with monsters.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the banquet you are attending, but I believe that these things are definitely more important than pleasure." Queen Alison stood up and gracefully raised her skirt, and the four nobles followed suit I bowed my body.

Henry returned the gift, then sat on the wicker chair and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not very interested in the banquet anyway, so I just took this time to talk about serious business."

As a soul who traveled from a world of highly developed civilian technology and entertainment facilities, he was really bored with this primitive way of communication. In his eyes, the ambiguities that are talked about by noble men and women may be better than finding a book of poetry to read. first read. The latter may also cultivate sentiment. The former is of no use other than wasting time.

certainly. Almost 90% of the entertainment activities in this world are almost the same in Henry's eyes. Even the noble hunting held every autumn is attended by his wife Shikodi, but he found a very good one. Excuse, that is druids can't kill wild animals for no reason.

"A freak."

All the elves present had this thought from the bottom of their hearts.

You must know that the style of the banquet in the kingdom of elves has always been talked about by the whole continent. With beautiful music, sumptuous food, fine wines that have been brewed for hundreds of years, and the beautiful and elegant elves themselves, almost everyone yearns to live in the elves in their lifetime. To be able to participate once in person, it is not hesitating to lose everything.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is the highest force here. It's not something anyone can come if they want.

But Henry is obviously different. Although he has a polite smile on his face, his eyes are as calm as water from the beginning to the end, as if nothing in this world can make waves in his heart. His calmness makes people feel fear.

After both parties were seated, Erhan, who was guarding the door, gently closed the door and stood silently outside. He was not qualified to participate in matters involving core secrets.

As the door was closed tightly, the noisy sound outside was completely isolated. The room fell silent instantly, and everyone was doing it quietly. As if meditating.

A few minutes later, Alison finally couldn't bear such silence, and coughed lightly to break the oppressive atmosphere: "Cough...I have heard Alhan talk about your conditions, alliances, trade, and half of this city. Wealth, the last one is absolutely fine, as long as you are willing to take half of the treasure from the treasury at any time, but we must be more cautious about the first two."

"Your Majesty is right, we must know what kind of covenant and trade you need, and who is the enemy that needs to be dealt with together. After all, Sodenisla has never had a precedent for forming an alliance with other forces, and recently suffered exile The elven kingdom of Verdas Forest needs to recuperate." An elf nobleman dressed as a warrior stood up and echoed.

After quietly listening to the speeches of the two, Henry smiled and shook his head: "You may be a little worried, I have no intention of starting a war against any country at the moment, I just want to be on the peninsula on the west side of the Virdas Forest Building two cities in the area, especially the entrance to the Underdark, the rich minerals and gems underground are what I urgently need, so the alliance is only for the monsters in the forest."

"You mean you want to occupy Velen?!" Another elf nobleman asked tentatively.

"That's right, it has been slaughtered by the dark elves' army, I just took it over." Henry made no secret of his intention to annex the peninsula.

Anyway, that area itself is not the traditional range of the elves, and coupled with the sharp drop in population this time, they can't even take care of the land around Sodanisla, let alone the remote coastal areas.

Upon hearing these two words, Queen Alison immediately frowned and asked, "According to what I know, it should be under the rule of Tethyr, won't you cause trouble if you do this?"

"Please don't worry about this, I will start to solve it soon, to ensure that there will be no accidents. Suodanisla only needs to ensure that reinforcements are sent when the monsters attack there, and I guarantee that the elf kingdom will be invaded by high-end force again lend a helping hand when the time comes.”

Regarding Tethyr's reaction, Henry wasn't worried at all. Leaving aside the battle for the killing throne that was about to break out in the south, those dukes with weird thoughts alone were enough to keep the royal family busy for a while. As long as he wants, he can use the intelligence network to provoke trouble at any time. Let alone Waylon, it is estimated that this country may fall into a long-term civil war again, and it will not be possible to reunify within a few years.

After receiving the guarantee, Alison's brows gradually relaxed: "In this case, then I agree to form an alliance."

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The four nobles present expressed their opinions one by one. After the last one also nodded, the queen stretched out her slender and beautiful hand and said: "On behalf of the elven kingdom of Virdas Forest, I agree to form an alliance. I hope Our friendship will last forever."

Without any hesitation, Henry shook each other's hand slightly: "May our friendship last forever."

Very simple ceremony. No flowers, no cheers, no vows. But both sides ratified the covenant. At least until the death of this generation of elf rulers, there will be no changes. A few hundred years is enough for the humans on the peninsula to multiply and grow, and they no longer have to fear the monsters in the forest.

"Since we are already allies, the trade matter is easy to solve. Please tell me what kind of goods you need from Suodanisla, magic items? Weapons? Armor? Carvings? Artworks? Exquisite jewelry?" Dressed as a mage The nobleman asked in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Although elves have many shortcomings, it is undeniable that they are quite good for allies. As long as the other party doesn't violate the covenant first, there is basically no need to worry about stabbing a knife in the back. In this respect, it is hundreds of times stronger than the human kingdom.

"All, I hope to be the sole agent of Suodanisla's products in the human world. You can get 40% of the profits from the sales. I believe this is definitely more profitable than selling directly to middlemen."

No one knows more about the huge profits that monopoly can bring than Henry, so he directly throws out a big cake - sharing the profits.

After all, even if the wood elves like to be isolated from the world, they always have to buy some daily necessities from the outside world, such as salt, sugar, spices, condiments, cloth, parchment or papyrus, various metals, etc., all of which have to be paid. Lots of gold coins.

The nobles and the queen here obviously didn't expect his appetite to be so big, and he actually wanted to swallow all the trade in the entire elf kingdom. They all got together and started discussing in low voices.

Not long after, Alison raised her head and asked: "Can you guarantee to provide daily necessities for the tens of thousands of elf people in the entire Vildas? If so. We can fully agree to your request."

Henry opened his arms and laughed and replied: "Of course no problem, please give me a list, as long as there is something on the main plane, I can get it all. And I believe you have also seen the huge load capacity of the airship, so transport it It is also very convenient, at that time, I will open the air route from Velen to Sodenisla, and all the goods can be transported here within three or four hours."

Since the successful construction of the "Giant", the airship has already surpassed the medium-sized sea-going ship in terms of transportation. If he hadn't mastered the two advanced technologies of giant iron ship and nuclear power, I am afraid that it would not be long before the territory will fully enter the air transport It's time.

After getting an affirmative answer, Queen Alison turned her head and glanced out the window, only to see three airships hovering over the city, the huge airbags looked so spectacular, and she also heard Elhan mention that these aircraft were used in the war The huge role played by the aircraft, immediately probing: "It is really a miraculous creation, I wonder if you are willing to sell this aircraft?"

"Sorry, the airship is not for sale at the moment. You can rent it if you need it, but the operators on it must be my people." Henry calmly rejected the other party's prying eyes on the airship technology.

After living in the continent of Faerun for so many years, he has fully realized the benefits of this kind of simple technology on earth, especially when the ground transportation is inconvenient, the airship is simply a magic weapon.

It is simple to manufacture, easy to maintain, has a huge load capacity, and is not slow to fly. Apart from being prone to explosions, it has almost no disadvantages. But in this world where supernatural power prevails, it is too easy to solve this small problem. It can be easily solved by permanently solidifying a few kang spells on the outer layer of the airbag.

How can such a technology be easily handed over to others, at least until the floating city can be copied, Henry will not let anyone get the airship technology. Even if someone snatches one or two by force, it is useless, because there is no electrolysis of water, the most critical technology, and even if it is manufactured, there will be no suitable gas to fill it.

Queen Alison obviously expected that she would be rejected, so she didn't show any displeasure, she just nodded with a smile.

In this way, a secret meeting ended with the satisfaction of both parties, and everyone returned to the hall to join the grand banquet. Except for Apodel, who possessed super perceptual power, the others didn't even notice these small actions at all.
