The makeshift conference room at the back of the hall was a modest study, without many elaborate decorations and carvings, only a few tall bookshelves filled with books related to society, history, gods, poetry, etc., which seemed to be a place for the elven queen to relax and have fun.

There were no tables, several rattan chairs were arranged in circles in front of the window, and Alixing was sitting in the innermost position in a dignified position, and to her right and left were four male elves dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing different family crests.

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

It seems that the background of the elves is really not comparable to most human kingdoms, it is hard to imagine that after such a catastrophe, they can still have so many high-end forces that can be used, at least there is absolutely no problem with the monsters that are about to move in the Wildas Forest in the shock.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the banquet you're attending, but I'm sure these things are definitely more important than pleasure." As she spoke, Queen Alistar stood up and gracefully bowed her skirt, and the four nobles also led her and bowed slightly.

Henry returned the salute, then sat on the wicker chair and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, I don't have much interest in banquets anyway, so I just took this time to talk about business." ”

As a soul who has crossed over from a world where civil technology and entertainment facilities are extremely developed, he is really extremely bored with this primitive way of communicating, and those ambiguities that are talked about by aristocratic men and women may be better than finding a poem to read in his eyes. The latter may also be able to cultivate sentiments. And the former is no longer of any use except to waste time.

Of course. Henry saw almost 90 percent of the world's entertainment in the same way, and even the aristocratic hunt that took place every autumn was attended by his wife, Sycodi, but he made a good excuse that the druids couldn't kill wild animals for no reason.

"A weirdo."

All the elves present invariably came up with this idea from the bottom of their hearts.

You must know that the style of the Elven Kingdom banquet has always been talked about by the whole continent, with beautiful music, sumptuous food, good wine that has been aged for hundreds of years, and the beautiful and elegant elves themselves, almost everyone yearns to be able to participate in person once in their lifetime, and they do not hesitate to break the bank.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is that the forced style here is the highest. It's not like anyone can come if they want to.

But Henry was clearly different, although he had a polite smile on his face, his eyes were as plain as water from beginning to end, as if nothing in this world could make waves in his heart, and it was calm and terrifying.

After both sides were seated, Erhan, who was guarding the door, gently closed the door and silently guarded outside, he was not qualified to participate in such a matter involving core secrets,

As the door was shut, the noise outside was completely cut off. The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone did it quietly. It's like contemplation.

After a few minutes, Alixing finally couldn't bear the silence and broke the oppressive atmosphere with a gentle cough: "Ahem...... I've heard Erhan say your terms, alliances, trade, and half of the city's wealth, the last one is perfectly fine, and you can always go to the treasury and take half of the treasure with you, but we have to be careful with the first two. ”

"Your Majesty is right, we must know what kind of covenant and trade you need, and who the enemy needs to be dealt with together. After all, Sodenisra has no precedent for forming alliances with other forces, and has recently suffered the heavy blow of the Exiles, and the elven realm of the Verdas Forest needs to recuperate. An elven nobleman dressed as a warrior stood up and chimed in.

Henry quietly listened to the speeches of the two and shook his head with a smile: "You may be a little worried, I don't want to start a war against any country at the moment, I just want to establish two cities in the peninsula on the west side of the Verdas Forest, especially the entrance to the dark region, the rich minerals and gems underground are what I urgently need, so the alliance is only against the monsters in the forest." ”

"You mean you want to take over Willen?!" Another elven nobleman asked tentatively.

"That's right, it's been slaughtered by the army of the Dark Elves, and I'm just taking it over." Henry made no secret of his intention to annex the peninsula.

Anyway, it wasn't the traditional realm of the elves itself, and with the sudden decline in population, they couldn't even take care of the land around Sodanisra, let alone the distant coastal areas.

As soon as she heard these two words, Queen Alistar immediately frowned and asked, "As far as I know, it should be under the rule of Tesser, won't you cause trouble if you do this?" ”

"Don't worry about that, I'll work on it soon and make sure there are no surprises. All I need to do is make sure to send reinforcements if the monsters attack there, and I'll make sure to help the Elven Realm if it is invaded by high-end forces again. ”

Henry was not worried about Thassel's reaction at all, not to mention the battle for the Killing Throne that was about to break out in the south, just those few weird-minded dukes were enough for the royal family to be busy for a while. As long as he wants, he can provoke trouble through the guò intelligence network at any time, not to mention Wei Lun, it is estimated that the country will have to fall into a long-term civil war again, and it will not be possible to be unified again without a few years.

After receiving the assurance, Alixing's brows gradually relaxed: "Since this is the case, then I agree to form an alliance." ”

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The four nobles present expressed their opinions one by one, and it was not until the last person nodded that the queen stretched out her slender and beautiful hand and said, "On behalf of the elven kingdom of the Verdas Forest, I agree to form an alliance, and I hope that our friendship will last forever." ”

Henry didn't hesitate, and shook the other party's hand slightly: "May our friendship last forever." ”

Very simple ritual. There were no flowers, no cheers, and no vows. But both sides endorsed the covenant. At least nothing will happen until the death of this generation of elven rulers, and a few hundred years will be enough time for the humans on the peninsula to thrive and grow, and they will no longer have to fear the monsters in the forest.

"Now that we are already allies, the trade matter is easy to solve, please say what kind of goods you need from Sodenisra, magic items? Weapons? Armour? Carve? Artwork? Fine jewelry? The nobleman dressed as a mage asked in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Although the elves have a lot of shortcomings, it is undeniable that they are quite good for their allies. As long as the other party doesn't break the covenant first, then there is basically no need to worry about stabbing in the back, and it is a hundred times stronger than the human kingdom in this regard.

"All, I hope to be the only agent of Sodenisra's goods in the human world, and you can get forty percent of the profits from the sale, and I believe that this will definitely be more profitable than selling directly to middlemen."

No one is more aware of the windfall profits that a monopoly can bring than Henry, so he directly threw out a big cake - let the profits be shared.

After all, even if the wood elves prefer 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 pay a lot of gold.

The nobles and queens present obviously didn't expect him to have such a big appetite, and he actually wanted to swallow all the trade of the entire elven kingdom in one gulp. They all got together and began to discuss in a low voice.

It didn't take long for Alixing to raise her head and ask, "Can you guarantee to provide living supplies for tens of thousands of elven people in the entire Verdath?" If you can. We can fully agree with 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'm sure you also see the huge load capacity of the airship, so it's very easy to transport, and then I'll open an air route from Wiren to Sodenisra, and all the cargo will be here in three or four hours. ”

Since the successful construction of the "Giant", the airship has surpassed the medium-sized sea ship in terms of transportation, and if it were not for the fact that he still has the two advanced technologies of giant iron ship and nuclear power, I am afraid that it will not be long before the territory will fully enter the era of air transportation.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Queen Alistar turned her head and looked out the window, only to see three airships staying above the city, the huge airbags looked so spectacular, and she also heard Erhan mention the huge role played by these flying machines in the war, and immediately said tentatively: "What a miraculous creation, I wonder if you would like to sell this kind of flying machine?" ”

"I'm sorry, the airship is not for sale for the time being, you can rent it if you need it, but the operator above must be mine." Henry quietly rejected the other party's snooping on airship technology.

After living in the continent of Faeron for so many years, he has fully realized the benefits of this kind of technology, which can be called rudimentary on Earth, especially when ground transportation is not convenient, the airship is simply an artifact.

It is easy to manufacture, easy to maintain, has a huge payload, does not fly slowly, and has almost no drawbacks other than the possibility of causing an explosion. But in this world where supernatural forces are prevalent, it is too easy to solve this small problem, and a few fire kang spells can be solved by permanently solidifying the outer layer of the air bag.

How could such a technique be handed over to someone else, at least until the Floating City could be copied, Henry would not let anyone get the airship technology. Even if someone forcibly took one or two, it would be useless, because without the most critical technology of electrolysis of water, there would be no suitable gas to fill it even if it was manufactured.

Queen Alistar had obviously expected her rejection, so she didn't show any displeasure, just smiled and nodded.

A secret meeting ended with both parties satisfied, and everyone returned to the hall to join the grand feast, and except for Apodell, who had super sentient powers, no one else even noticed these small movements.
