At the Elven Palace, Queen Rachel and all the ministers were already waiting in the main hall. The Elven diplomatic group had already sent the news back. Everyone already knew that the Humans and the Beastmen had signed a truce agreement. The situation wasn't very optimistic. If it was only the Elves, then it would be very difficult to attack the Beastmen's territory. Therefore, Rachel was very anxious to see Li Huailin.
Soon, the guards reported that the Human Race's diplomatic mission had finally arrived. All the ministers in the palace looked towards the entrance. Soon, Li Huailin appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this the Duke of Aquitaine? He really is as young as the rumors say. "This was the first reaction of the elven ministers.
"Indeed, he is young and handsome." This was the first reaction of the female elves.
Li Huailin stood in the middle of the hall. He could feel the heated gazes from all around him. He couldn't help but facepalm.
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine." Vice Envoy Worthington quickly reminded him.
"Oh, good evening everyone. I am Bossy Ruolin, the human envoy." Li Huailin casually greeted.
"......" Worthington was sweating profusely. Didn't he already greet Li Huailin like this? Why didn't he follow the script at all?
"Duke of Aquitaine, I welcome you on behalf of the elves." Elven Queen Rachel didn't have any reaction. Her favorability didn't change either. Her voice was very calm as she replied.
"Huh? These two are? " Rachel suddenly pointed at Counter Front and Sleep In Dreams. The human guards were already waiting outside the door. The elves had already returned to the line of ministers. The few people standing in the middle should be the human envoy group. Among them, Counter Front and Sleep In Dreams were very conspicuous.
"Oh, these two are my friends. They said they've never been here before. They asked me to bring them in for a walk. Is there a problem?" Li Huailin said casually.
"…" Ni Feng, who was at the back, couldn't help but say something. You're being too direct. What kind of place does the Elven Palace look like in your eyes?
"Oh, I see." Rachel nodded and then didn't say anything else.
"Hey, hey, that works too!" This time, Ni Feng couldn't help but complain. However, before he could say anything, a series of system prompts suddenly appeared. All of them were notifications of an increase in Favorability. Ni Feng hurriedly looked at the surrounding ministers. According to the name above their heads, their Favorability towards him had increased. Surprisingly, this included the Elf Queen, Rachel, who was in the middle. Favorability increased by 1-10 points. It felt like his official rank had increased a lot. Queen Rachel only increased by 1 point, but this was extremely valuable.
Ni Feng hurriedly glanced at Mian Meng, who was beside him, and saw that Mian Meng also had a look of surprise on her face. She was also using her eyes to tell Ni Feng that the same thing had happened to her. Counter Front gently pressed down on Sleep In Dreams's hand, signaling her not to react. Sleep In Dreams also received the message, and immediately nodded.
Next, the other emissaries also greeted Rachel. Of course, unlike Li Huailin, they were very serious in carrying out diplomatic etiquette. After everyone finished greeting, the diplomatic negotiation officially began.
"Duke Aquitaine, I've heard about your intentions from the previous emissary group. I really want to know why the humans want to stop the war with the orcs. If the humans continue to attack, the orcs will be wiped out. If you're in my shoes, you should be able to see this, right?" Rachel asked sternly as she became serious during the negotiation. She became very serious. "Duke Aquitaine.
"Beastmen? Stop the war? "Counter Front was stunned. What was going on? Didn't Li Huailin say that he was here to collect his quest reward? However, in an instant, Counter Front thought of something.
Roughly ten days ago, a major incident had occurred on the Elven side. A large number of Beastmen had suddenly appeared in the Elven city of Sulina. As Sulina was a large city with a lot of players, everyone quickly learned about this incident and paid attention to it. Afterward, the Beastmen began to attack the city. Sulina City was completely sealed, and players couldn't leave the city. They could only use the Teleportation Point to leave. This was especially tragic because the Teleportation Point cost 10 Gold. If you could afford it, it was fine. However, if you didn't have enough money on you, someone would have to pick you up and send you money. If you couldn't even borrow money, you would have to wait until Sulina City was opened to the public.
Some players simply waited, and in the end, something happened. The Beastmen actually invaded the city and massacred the entire city. Naturally, the players were also in a miserable state. The Beastmen killed any Elves they saw, regardless of whether they were players or NPCs. Moreover, the players that resurrected were actually resurrected at the Rebirth Point in Sulina City. Then, they continued to be killed. Only after the City Lord's Mansion was occupied did the dead players teleport to the nearby Elven city. During this period, the smarter players had long since logged out of the game. As for the idiots who had died the most, they had died eight times and lost a level.
Naturally, the players began to protest. What was going on? They had been leveling up while doing nothing, yet they had encountered such a chaotic situation. How were they supposed to pay for their deaths? Immediately, someone filed a complaint. However, even until now, the game company had not responded. Aside from asking for forgiveness and stating that the data was normal, the game company did not offer any substantive answers. They also did not offer any compensation.
Just like that, the matter dragged on endlessly. Everyone felt that these players were truly unlucky. At this time, the same thing happened again. However, this time, it was the Beastmen, and this time, it was even more tragic. The Beastmen players were in their own city, yet they were inexplicably besieged by the Humans. The entire city was sealed off, and a massacre ensued. The Beastmen players died again and again before they could figure out what was going on. Then, the Humans took over the city, and they were teleported to a nearby city. Before they could react, the next day, the Humans came again, and the entire city was massacred …
Encountering such a depressing situation, the players quickly reflected their own experiences on the forums. Combining the two situations, it didn't take long for a godly post to analyze the situation. The conclusion was that during the NPC war, the Beastmen attacked the Elves, while the Humans, as allies, attacked the Beastmen's territory. The players here were unlucky and happened to be caught in this situation.
Of course, the Counter Front also paid attention to this situation. Their members didn't encounter such a thing. A few of them were unlucky enough to be in the city when the city was sealed off, but they were quickly teleported out. They didn't encounter the massacre that happened afterward. The Counter Front even specifically sent a few people into the city to see if they could trigger any quests. In the end, nothing happened, and the losses were very limited. However, the Counter Front was very concerned about this situation, so when Rachel mentioned it, the Counter Front immediately thought of it.
They glanced at Sleep In Dreams, and sure enough, Sleep In Dreams also had a confused look on his face. He must have thought of the same thing. The two immediately looked at Li Huailin. Just a moment ago, the Human NPC kept talking about the Deputy Ambassador. It turned out that Li Huailin was here as the Human Ambassador to discuss this matter. They didn't expect Li Huailin to be involved in such a big matter. It seemed that the Humans and the Orcs had stopped fighting. The Elf Queen was questioning this matter, so the two immediately paid attention to Li Huailin's answer.
"About this matter … I really don't want to talk about it," said Li Huailin after thinking for a moment.
"Eh?" Everyone present was stunned. Weren't you here to talk about this matter? You don't want to talk about the situation?
"As a matter of fact, we humans don't need anyone's permission to start a war or stop a war with anyone. I'm just here to inform you. You already know about it anyway. Even if I inform you, it sounds like you want us to explain. I can only tell you that we don't want to explain. Whether we have a reason to stop the war or not, that's our business. It's none of your business," said Li Huailin.
"Eh?" Worthington looked at Li Huailin in surprise. Before he set off, he had prepared a lot of excuses to explain the current situation to the Elves. He was even prepared to explain everything to the Elves one by one. Why didn't this Duke of Aquitaine play his cards? The Elves would definitely be angry.
As expected, Rachel's expression was a little worse. She said solemnly, "Duke of Aquitaine, the Elves are allies of the Humans. We fought together against the Orcs. Now, the Humans are abandoning us to stop fighting with the Orcs. Don't we need an explanation for this?"
"No need." Li Huailin replied with certainty. "I'll tell you one more time, very seriously. We humans don't need to explain anything to you. This is the last time I'll say it. You still don't understand. Next time, I'll use my actions to make you understand."
"Duke of Aquitaine, what do you mean?" Rachel asked angrily. She could tell what Li Huailin was implying.
"What I mean is …" Li Huailin wanted to say, "What I mean is for you to be obedient and help us bite the Orcs. If you keep bothering me, I'll destroy you." But when he thought about it again, he almost fell into a trap again. If he said that, the elves would definitely have a good impression of him … Fortunately, he was quick-witted and managed to stop himself. "What I mean is … let's not talk about this anymore … By the way, I heard that you have something to give me?"
"Eh?" Everyone couldn't figure out what was going on with Li Huailin. Why did he suddenly change his mind? However, Rachel nodded. "Yes … Although we're very angry that you came to our rescue, I don't know why I want to give you something."
Then Rachel said to the guard next to her, "Go and get that."
"Yes," the guard replied with a nod.
