The next day, Fiona was speaking frankly in the palace hall.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Tang En, Lola, and Rowling did not tell anyone about what happened in the game room. Therefore, the others did not know that the dark elves were now Tang En's subordinates.
Fiona still had to put on an act on the surface, which was why she continued to follow the original plan and took out the trade cooperation agreement that she had made previously.
Looking at Fiona who stood in front of the Queen without flinching, full of confidence and capable temperament, Tang En nodded in satisfaction. He felt that she was becoming more and more like a modern woman.
At first, Fiona was just an unconfident and even timid lost girl. But after Tang En's continuous influence, she finally regained her confidence. That was a good thing. If a person did not have confidence, even if they could do something well, they would still fail in the end.
"In summary, those are the goods that Ellington can provide. The trade goods that we need you to provide have been written in the agreement."
After a pause, Fiona suddenly said, "Apart from what is written in the agreement, I also hope that we can provide opportunities for talent exchange."
Lola, who had forcibly occupied Rowling's throne, looked at Fiona with interest. "Oh? What do you mean? "
Facing Lola's invasive gaze, Fiona, who had shrunk back, once again straightened her chest and said without hesitation, "It means exactly what it means. Both sides will have a talent exchange. We will send some talented people to learn combat or spellcasting skills from you, and you can also send people to us to learn magic technology."
Tang En thought for a moment and suddenly understood.
Fiona really put a lot of thought into it.
And it was really hard for her to be so ruthless.
The so-called talent exchange plan, to put it bluntly, was more like a hostage exchange. Using the weak Ellington warriors in exchange for the powerful dark elves in combat and stealth. No matter what the exchange was, Ellington would definitely profit.
The only thing that would lose was the reputation of Fiona, who had created this plan. She would be cursed by the families of the warriors.
Tang En was very touched. Fiona had suggested this because of Barod's hint, but she did it for Tang En's sake.
But she did not know that all the dark elves were now his followers.
Lola pretended to think for a moment and said, "Your suggestion is very tempting. Magic technology will also be of great help to us. I will seriously consider it."
Fiona sighed in relief, bowed, and left.
At this time, Captain Hayley came in from outside. After bowing, she threw a coquettish glance at Tang En, and said, "Your Majesty, the Dwarf King of the Dwarves of Redstone, Barod, has arrived outside the palace..
"Please."
"Yes."
Captain Hayley accepted the order and retreated. Moments later, Baruo's group appeared in the palace hall.
"My Lord! Big Sister Fiona! "
As soon as she saw them, Tina, who was following the team, could not help but run over.
Tang En nodded at Tina, and then said to Barod, "Was the journey smooth?"
"Of course!"
Barod threw down his warhammer, and then shook Tang En's hand heavily. He deliberately said loudly, "You've cleared the entire path to Blackstone Cave. Nothing has been smoother than this time."
Barod originally wanted to use this information to provoke Lola, but he did not know that all the dark elves were now Tang En's followers. Lola only sneered, and could not be bothered with him. Barod's plan fell through.
"But …"
Barod patted Tang En's leg, and said with admiration, "I didn't expect you to be able to get rid of all the polluters! You've really helped us solve a huge problem this time. I promised to give you the reward when we return to Redstone Cave. "
Then, Barod said to Fiona, "What about the previous contract?"
Fiona took out the trade contract, and Barod signed it without hesitation. He then laughed heartily and said, "I hope we'll have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"A pleasant cooperation."
After the contract with the dwarves was settled, Tang En and Fiona both sighed in relief. The main purpose of this underground trip was finally achieved.
"Then," Barod's sharp eyes stared at Lola, "What's the meaning of the abdicated queen sitting here again?"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but your mouth is still so annoying."
Lola pursed her lips, and said lazily, "My daughter Rowling is still too immature, so she still needs my help. Do you have any objections?"
Barod sneered, "Up to you, as long as you don't disturb us."
Lola waved her hand, looked down at Barod, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Since you're here, tell me. How will the winner of this competition be decided?"
Barod's expression changed slightly. Those Gargoyles used for the competition had already been killed by Twain, and the magical beasts he had brought this time were only those that had been captured after the previous competition and had yet to undergo strict training. Compared to the Dark Elves' side, the lineup for the competition was indescribably miserable.
"Same as last time, the side with the most points wins."
Barod had basically given up on the possibility of winning. After all, they had lost the threat of the fallen and obtained Tang En's trade contract. Next, even if they only focused on mining and hunting magical beasts, the food they obtained from Ellington was enough to feed the entire dwarven kingdom.
"Very good. This time, I'll make you go back crying," Lola said with a smile.
"Don't blame us for being a bully. We'll set off for the Demonic Abyss tomorrow."
"Hmph!"
Perhaps Barod knew that his side was bound to lose this time, so he did not say anything harsh. The more harsh he said now, the uglier it would be when he lost, so he might as well keep a low profile.
After Barod and Tang En said goodbye, they went to inform their own people to prepare for the competition. The things they discussed also aroused Tang En's curiosity.
"I've heard of the competition in the Demonic Abyss before, but I still don't know what it is. Can you explain?"
Tang En's words also attracted the approval of the others. They were also very curious about this.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a competition to decide the division of territory."
Lola shrugged, "The Demonic Abyss is a very special place. There, all magic and elements disappear. It's a rare magic vacuum."
Lola said with a sinister expression, "If someone who doesn't know goes in, they'll immediately explode and die due to the imbalance between the magic inside and outside. They'll explode into a pile of minced meat!"
Elijah was so scared that she subconsciously hugged Tang En and secretly peeked out half of her face, carefully peeking at Lola.
"Haha …"
Seeing that Lady Calamity was scared to this extent, Lola felt a lot happier. She waved her hand and said, "It's actually not that scary. As long as you're careful and control the magic balance in your body, you won't be in danger. However, it's true that you can't use magic in the Demonic Abyss."
Can't use magic? Mana vacuum zone?
Isn't that the characteristic of the Mana Dispelling Stone?
Tang En's heart skipped a beat as he remembered Abedon's request.
After the others left, Tang En found Lola and told her his request.
"Mana Dispelling Stone? I've never heard of it, but there is a special kind of ore in the Demonic Abyss that can dispel the magic around it. Because it's very annoying, we haven't deliberately collected it. "
Lola obviously hated the Mana Dispelling Stone. In other words, there was no spellcaster who did not hate the Mana Dispelling Stone.
Dark Elves, like Forest Elves, were very talented in magic. Collecting a pile of Mana Dispelling Stone at home was tantamount to asking for trouble.
Seeing Tang En's appearance, Lola smiled and lifted Tang En's chin, saying, "But since you've asked, I'll certainly fulfill your request. After all, you're the man chosen by the Goddess, right? But correspondingly, shouldn't you also fulfill my wish? "
Tang En, who was being teased by Lola, smiled bitterly. Didn't I say it before?
One of the reasons why the Dark Elves were so crazy about him was because of the natural attraction caused by the perfect bloodline in his perfect body. But the more important reason was the strong desire of the Goddess of Eternal Darkness.
After that crazy battle, they had already explained the reason. Tang En originally thought that after the misunderstanding was cleared up, they would not be so crazy anymore. Who would have thought that he would overreach himself. He used spells and items to defeat the Goddess of Eternal Darkness and Lola, but there were repercussions. Lola was obviously infatuated with him.
In order to persuade Tang En to stay, she even chased all of her male pets out that very day.
At this moment, Tang En finally understood what it felt like to "shoot yourself in the foot".
That night, Tang En had to sell himself out again with tears in his eyes. This time, he learned to be smart. He began to use "Angus' Partial Hardening" in the middle of the battle and directly used his secret weapon in the backfield to defeat Lola. In the end, he had to kneel down and beg for mercy, even begging Rowling to help.
Rowling was very angry at first. He was the man she had taken a fancy to, so how did it end up with only her mother monopolizing him?
So when Lola, who was paralyzed, begged her to help last night, Rowling could not wait to go into battle. She thought that she had accumulated a lot of experience in her previous studies and was completely comparable to Tang En.
It was the world of the young now!
The proud Rowling thought. Then, less than three minutes into the battle, she cried and knelt before Tang En.
After that, Lola promised Tang En that she would solve the problem of the Magic Dispelling Stone.
