This negotiation aimed at achieving cooperation between the two parties was not as easy as Aranza imagined.
Bethindu's tone was still deliberately elegant, but it sounded increasingly harsh to Aranza. He said: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Aranza, I personally am very willing to make friends and cooperate with you, but I
I cannot allow my race to take risks. As a king, I must protect the lives of my people."
Aranza only used a smile to cover up his disdain for these hypocritical words. He knew that there are generally two ways to promote cooperation between the two forces. One is to let the two forces have the same goal, and the other is to have one of the forces be able to
Provide bait that is attractive enough to another force.
Aranza was sure that he and Yvette had the same purpose, which was to overthrow the Lane family, or the word "overthrow" should mean "destruction" to Yvette, but at this moment, the two words had the same meaning.
As for Besaindu, Aranza knew nothing about his purpose. Therefore, the best way was to throw out the bait in his hand.
Aranza organized her thoughts and said with a smile: "Well, what is your Majesty's attitude towards the gods?"
Besain was slightly stunned and replied: "My people worship our ancestors, not the gods."
Hearing this, Aranza snorted coldly in her heart. Every word Bethany said had a premise, that is, the words must be concise and elegant, but this was a mistake, making it difficult for others to follow him.
I couldn't figure out what he was saying. But fortunately, the meaning of Bethindu's answer was quite obvious. It showed to Aranza that he, like all the snow elves, was not inclined to the gods.
What Aranza doesn't know, and perhaps even Yvette doesn't know, is that although Besain, like other snow elves, not only does not agree with the gods, but also hates them, he does not want to be the enemy of the gods.
In fact, Besaindu's biggest wish is to have the same handsome and elegant appearance as his ancestors, and this wish has been fulfilled.
If the price for realizing this wish was not for the Snow Elves to wage war against the humans, or to be precise, against the Lane family, Bethany might not be willing to start a war.
At this time, Aranza decisively threw out his bait and said, "Well, if our cooperation can give His Majesty the opportunity to contact the gods or things related to the gods, how would you feel?"
Yvette, who was sitting opposite Aranza, raised her eyebrows and said lazily to Besindu: "This is the reason why I cooperate with him, Bessindu, even if you don't cooperate with him, I will cooperate with him.
of."
Bethindu finally stopped maintaining his elegance, and anger spread across his face. He glared at Yvette and said, "Princess Yvette Yulia, are you going to betray me?!"
"betray?"
Yvette squinted at Besaindu and said: "I am not your subordinate, Besaindu, betrayal, haha, maybe it would be better to say it to you instead of me."
"you……!"
Besain opened his mouth and screamed, but could not speak.
Yvette was always sitting lazily, and she continued: "Don't forget, the purpose of my helping you is to deal with the Lane family, and if you refuse this cooperation, then I need to make a good judgment, or make a decision.
Already."
Bethindu's face immediately darkened and he said, "Even if we don't cooperate with him, we can still deal with the Lane family!"
"cut!"
Yvette said disdainfully: "I have no patience!"
At this time, Aranza hurriedly interjected: "Well, Your Majesty the King, in fact, there is no harm in our cooperation, right? Of course, if you don't want to involve the gods, I can also provide you with other conditions.
"
Yvette glanced at Aranza and said nothing.
Bethindu's mood calmed down, and when he looked at Aranza, he looked more favorably in the eyes and said: "What you said is true. Although I don't believe in the gods, I don't want to make them my enemies. What's more, I don't believe in the gods.
I don’t want to push our clan into the abyss again! If you really put forward other conditions that are beneficial to our clan, I will consider it.”
Aranza wondered: "For example?"
But there was a hint of confidence in the corner of Besaindu's mouth, and he said: "As you can see, we have plundered all the supplies we need."
In response to Besindu's words, Aranza was rarely flattering, but just smiled. He remembered that just above this cave, the defeated Snowman City, with the invasion method of the snow elves, could of course plunder all the supplies.
But with the treasury ring, Aranza still has something that the snow elves don't have. He stretched out his hand, and the treasury ring on his fingertips flashed, and a huge stone appeared on the table. The surface of this stone was
There are wisps of strange golden light. If you sense it carefully, you can find a small amount of light attribute magic elements attached to it. Surprisingly, these light attribute magic elements are not consumed, but reverberate repeatedly on the surface of the stone to create floodlight.
effect.
However, before Aranza could speak, Besaindu's eyes lit up and he said: "If you are willing to exchange the ring in your hand, I will do my best to cooperate with you!"
Aranza shook her head without any hesitation and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, for me, the most important thing about this ring is not its value, but its meaning. Therefore, this ring cannot be used as a condition for cooperation.
.”
"Yeah……"
Besaindu did not embarrass Aranza, but turned his attention to the stone on the table and asked: "What is this?"
"A building material."
Aranza shrugged and replied: "This thing comes from other dimensions. It was obtained by my father when he was young. Well, this is just a sample. I have two tons of such stones."
"But I don't plan to start any construction projects recently."
Aranza shook his head and said with a smile: "But it can make your palace more hesitant and brilliant. What I want to tell you is that this kind of stone will not appear in any corner of the thorn continent. In other words, it can also
Make your palace unique.”
"unique……"
Bessain was thinking about Aranza's words.
Yvette on the side could not hide the disdain on her face. In her opinion, a stone is a stone, no matter how unique it is, it is still a stone. Hesitating for a stone is simply an idiot.
However, what Yvette didn't expect was that after a short period of thinking, Bethindu actually agreed to cooperate with Aranza!
Aranza was not surprised by this result. It was a compulsory course for every leader to do what he wanted.
"But I have an additional condition."
Bethindu said hurriedly: "This condition is for Princess Yvette Yulia."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Yvette snorted, but still said: "What conditions?"
"I hope you can relax the number of qualifications for changing the outer membrane this time, from one snow elf to five snow elves."
"that's all?!"
Yvette was once again surprised by the idea of Bethin being bored.
Besaindu's face looked very certain, and he said forcefully: "Yes!"
"good."
Yvette agreed, this kind of thing was too simple, except that the Moon Bud Scepter could only be used once a day, so it would take a little more time.
After reaching a consensus, Aranza delivered the two tons of stones on the spot, which made Bessindu once again interested in Aranza's treasury ring, but was flatly rejected by Aranza again. In fact, the people in the palace
The magicians of the Holy Domain have already detected Aranza, but they seemed to have discovered something strange in Aranza, and warned Besindu not to take action against Aranza. Otherwise, Besindu might have robbed it long ago.
And Yvette still needs four days to complete another condition of Bethindu, which means that Aranza and others will have to stay in this underground thing for four days, because when they leave, Yvette will also go with them.
Besaindu sent snow elves to pick up Aranza's other companions from the abandoned mine, and everyone spent four days doing nothing in this underground kingdom.
Aranza did not intend to sit idle, there was one more thing that had always been on his mind.
The next day, I don’t know if it was night or day, Aranza walked into the floor where Yvette was. Yvette was using the power of the Moon Bud Staff on a female snow elf. Wisps of golden light surrounded the female snow elf.
As for the snow elf, all parts of its body were distorted, its gray skin gradually turned into crystal white, and its rickety body slowly became taller. Its facial features and long hair were then outlined. When the light dissipated
, the female snow elf suddenly turned into an ancient snow elf woman!
Aranza couldn't help but be amazed by such an effect.
After the conversion was completed, the "ancient snow elf woman" was sent to Bethindu's residence by Yvette's escorts. These guards were once from the Norland Army in Aranza. After following Yvette into the "Lighthouse", they naturally became
Yvette's Guard.
Using the Moon Bud Scepter seemed to consume a lot of Yvette's energy. She sat lazily on the large stone chair and ate several fruits one after another before finally regaining her breath. She looked at Aranza and said: "
Why did you come to me? Why, do you miss me?"
"I've been thinking about you."
Aranza raised her eyebrows and teased: "Well, you have forgotten about me."
"Oh."
Yvette laughed indifferently, looked at Aranza playfully, and said, "Tell me, what are you doing with me?"
"Ask someone."
Aranza stood in front of Yvette. He paused for a moment and then said: "His name is Hel Essoln. You have heard of this surname. He is Jessie's father."
"Hel Elsolon..."
Yvette silently recited the name, her face changed slightly, and her two golden eyebrows wrinkled together slightly, as if she was reminiscing and thinking.
At this time, Aranza's soul power had given Aranza an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, when Aranza began to regret her question, Yvette raised her head and said calmly: "I know this person, but he is already dead."
