"We only have two demands."

Looking at Igabella and the elf elders opposite, Owen said slowly: "First, we hope to establish formal diplomatic relations with your country, so that the two sides can carry out cooperation in agriculture and other aspects. That is,

He said that you should change the current closed-door policy and implement an open-door policy."

"Please wait a moment."

After making the first request, Igabela couldn't help but interrupt loudly.

"This is related to our national policy. Please ask the King of Wells to give us some time to discuss it privately with the elders."

"No problem." Owen nodded.

The meeting was suspended, and Igabela and the elf elders exited the meeting room and discussed in other rooms whether to agree to each other's first request and change the current national policy.

Before long, Igabela and his party came back and sat down at their original seats.

The meeting continued, and Owen asked: "After the discussion, what is the conclusion you came to?"

"King of Wells." Igabela said in a serious tone, "You should all know that we elves have been persecuted by humans, so we don't trust humans very much."

At this point, she suddenly changed the subject.

"However, King Wells, you are an exception. We elves believe in you and are willing to change our national policy and establish diplomatic relations with your country at the national level."

Another diplomatic breakthrough was achieved and diplomatic relations were established with the second demihuman country. Owen couldn't help but smile with joy and extended his right hand to Igabella.

"That's great. I hope our two countries can always maintain good relations, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and jointly contribute to creating a world of racial equality."

"I hope the vision you mentioned can be realized as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Igabela smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and shook Owen's hand.

In this way, the two countries have determined to establish diplomatic relations, and relevant cooperation will be discussed in depth and launched one after another after the war.

"correct."

This is only the first request. Igabela did not forget what Owen just said. After letting go, he asked: "King of Wells, what is your second request?"

"Our second request is related to the city of Gutils."

Owen clasped his hands, put them on the table, and said slowly: "We hope that after you take over Gutiers, you will not discriminate or even violently expel the humans living here. Please treat them kindly. It is best to treat them equally.

Treat them differently."

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, some elf elders were immediately dissatisfied.

"The residents of Gutils are the descendants of the group of humans who invaded Venola Forest, cut down trees wantonly, and drove out the elves. This is the land of our elves, and all outsiders should be driven away..."

"Elder Sheehan!"

Before he finished speaking, Igabela gave the elf elder a fierce look.

The latter immediately closed his mouth, but his face was still a little unhappy.

Then, Igabela said to Owen apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Elder Sheehan is a more straightforward person, so please forgive me."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Elder Sheen is the one who hates humans the most among the elf elders present.

"I can understand."

Owen was not surprised that there was such a person among the top elf clan.

Later, he explained: "Humans in the past did not do something right, but the local residents have lived in Gutils for so long. If you suddenly drive them away, there will be a large number of homeless people. This will undoubtedly be a disaster."

Man-made disaster."

"And, in my opinion, if you really plan to do this, you will be no different from the humans who drove away the elves in the past."

"no the same!"

Hearing what Owen said, Elder Sheehan couldn't help but slap the table and retorted: "What humans did in the past was aggression, and we did it to regain the lost land and restore it to its original state. It is legitimate and just.

sex."

"This is indeed a good reason."

Owen calmly criticized this: "But what they did was to forcefully drive people away regardless of their life and death. They are essentially the same."

"you!"

Elder Sheehan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

"That's enough!" Igabela had to stop him, "Elder Sheehan, if you have anything to say, we can discuss it privately later. Don't speak now."

"Yes, Queen." Elder Sheen had no choice but to shut her mouth obediently.

"King of Wells."

Then, Igabela turned to look at Owen and said, "The meaning of your second request is that you want us to govern Ancient Tiers into a new type of human and elven race, no, a new type of demi-human race living in harmony.

A city, like Auroville, your country’s new royal capital?”

"That's right!" Owen's mouth raised slightly, "Queen Igabella, it seems you have heard about Dawn City."

"Well, I heard about it from Elle Renee and the others."

Igabela nodded and continued: "It is said that Dawn City has achieved peaceful coexistence between humans and demi-human races. I am personally very curious, what kind of city is there? Unfortunately, my people generally have a negative attitude toward humans.

With hatred and wanting to turn Gutiers into the second Auroville, this may be a bit difficult."

"This is indeed not an easy task." Owen nodded in agreement.

At that time, he and Lusha did a lot of work to successfully establish a basic trust relationship between humans and lizard people.

"We also encountered many difficulties in the early days, but with everyone's unremitting efforts, both parties finally put aside the hatred in the past and chose to move forward together. If you don't know what to do, you can visit Dawn City. We are happy to

Pass on past successes.”

After a pause, Irving added: "Finally, what I want to say is that blindly driving away the other party will only deepen the hatred between the two parties. Only by accepting the other party can the hatred be resolved."

"You have a point, King of Wells."

After hearing these words, Igabela thought for a long time and then made another request.

"Can you give us some more time so that I can discuss it with the elders and unify our opinions internally?"

"Of course, please do."

Owen smiled and nodded, agreeing to the other party's request.

The meeting was interrupted again, and Igabela and the elf elders exited the meeting room and started a discussion in the previous room.

This time, their discussion took longer than last time. Occasionally, Elder Sheehan's loud refutation could be heard, as if there was a dispute.

After an unknown amount of time, Igabela and his team finally finished their discussion and returned to the conference room to sit down.

It can be seen that Elder Sheehan has a reluctant look on his face, as if he has made a compromise.

"King of Wells."

As soon as he sat down, Igabera gave a clear answer.

"We agree to your second request and allow humans to continue to stay in Gutiers and live together with my people. At the same time, we also hope that you can provide some help."

"We will definitely help." Owen responded readily.
