The negotiation location with the Kraken was finally set at the barrier boundary line of the Dawn Territory.
Demi's explanation for changing the location did not surprise Lu Yu - most sea monsters believed that entering the Dawn Territory was full of risks.
The identity of Serra's former God's Chosen is no longer convincing. The escaped Siren described too many frightening scenes. The Dawn Collar is like a large flesh and blood factory. There are endless remarks about collecting "materials". As for Demi, after finally integrating most of the tribes, these leaders still suspected that Dawn would take the opportunity to launch a beheading operation.
Lulu, as always, did not want to participate in such an occasion, and it was not until Sigrid reminded her that she could take the opportunity to publicize her name that she showed up honestly.
In the temporary camp set up by Sigrid, dozens of Siren clan leaders brought by Demi formed a simple Siren Council to review the many terms drawn up by Lu Yu and Sera.
Demi has not fully mastered all the Kraken tribes. Although the Red Torrent is large, it still seems a bit weak in front of the huge migratory Kraken army. Now it is purely relying on her personal leadership support.
The leaders of the Kraken clans are not so willing to be completely affiliated with the red torrent. It is just a compromise under current circumstances. The fear of the combat power of Dawn forces them to unite closely to deal with more challenges from terrestrial species.
Demi, who was looking through the agreement, suddenly frowned, but read through it calmly.
She raised her head and stared at Lu Yu, Sera and Gulu who were enjoying tea not far away, and silently expressed doubts.
The browsing time ends and the speaking time begins.
Demi did not restrain these clan leaders and allowed them to ask questions. As expected, many clan leaders also saw the extremely harsh contents of the agreement.
"In exchange for the seventh-level sea monster, you need six-level or higher sea-monster scales, or the elemental essence of the corresponding level. Dawn Leader's appetite is really good."
Lu Yu was still drinking tea, Sierra was playing with the broken scales collected from Eunice, and Lulu yawned.
I am listening to what you are saying in this picture, but my indifferent attitude makes the leader of the Kraken clan feel deeply despised.
"Also, the sixth-level Siren also needs the essence of elements, or the materials on the corresponding list. The materials on this list include medicinal materials, stones, crop seeds, and even write down that you need to check it in person to confirm how many bits can be exchanged. Siren!"
The voice of the patriarch who spoke was trembling, and although several patriarchs beside him asked him to calm down, his eyes were still red.
"Our pricing is fair and honest. If you can come up with special materials that make our eyes shine, we can exchange a few more Krakens for you. The price is reasonable. What are you dissatisfied with?"
The one who spoke was not Lu Yu and the others, but Sigrid. She took a small notebook and carefully looked at the list she made after collecting what she needed, and felt that she was a little more conservative.
"If you think it's too cumbersome and expensive, the hard currency is the essence of elements and materials rich in elemental power. We have set up so many channels for redemption of prisoners of war. I really don't know what you have to be dissatisfied with."
"You who have been in contact with forest essences should know that elemental essences need to be maintained. Condensation and forming or injecting into containers for storage are not permanent. They are best used within more than forty days. Beyond this time limit, if they are not maintained, they will inevitably cause damage. Deterioration, this is the same as a magic scroll that has not been maintained for a long time will eventually lose its effectiveness." Some clan leaders said it was unreasonable, "Are the Dawn leaders asking for such a large amount of elemental essence as food, you are not an elemental species!"
Lu Yu just finished taking a sip of tea and sighed happily: "If it can be eaten, I would like to try it to taste."
This sentence made the Siren clan leaders speechless and choked. Others might be joking, but the man with the title of glutton in front of him might be able to do it... Isn't it really just for eating?
The negotiations were very stalemate. Although it was cumbersome, the Water Elemental Essence Siren could condense and extract with its back to the sea. However, they were completely unable to confirm the purpose of the Dawn Territory. The application scope of the Elemental Essence could be large or small, including refining medicine and alchemy. It can be used in both , and doll production, but it is not a necessary material.
But the Dawn Leader showed extremely diverse people in this battle.
Even the legion, the survivors alone witnessed no less than thirty kinds.
If the essence of these elements were used to make dolls...
The first day of negotiations did not last long. After confirming some of the other party's requirements, both parties left one after another to prepare for the next day's talks.
Back in the Dawn Territory, Demi sent a message as expected.
"The quota for redeeming the Kraken is different from what was agreed upon in advance."
Simple, direct and cold, everyone in the room could hear Demi's displeasure in just one sentence.
"Your appetite is much greater than we thought, Queen Demi." Sera complimented on the surface, but emphasized the word "Queen" with a hint of sarcasm.
"I admit that I did not inform you in advance that the Kraken who landed on the southwest coast of Dawn Territory also joined this alliance. This was my fault. However, everything happened suddenly. They only contacted us yesterday."
According to Huogu's observation, the southwest side of Dawn Territory, where the sea-shipping dolls originally came back and landed on the Gouzhi coast, has been completely occupied by sea monsters, and the native races in the area are being forced to flee.
This is a new change that was not discovered during the battle between the Dawn Territory and the invading Kraken.
"Demi, don't think you are the only one who is smart. I know what you want." Sera hammered, "You need the Dawn Territory as an external threat to unite the Siren tribe, shaping the Siren's crisis against the terrestrial species. Feelings, and even threaten ordinary sea monsters with the coming of magic tide... Don't let your hands shake when you hear these words I say, I am not afraid to tell you, this is how the Theocracy used to play a long time ago, Laurende taught me how to do it himself Operation to maintain internal and external balance, I am more familiar with this than you."
"The Kraken on the southwest and the Kraken on the east will avoid travelers led by the morning light, if you still need these turbulent routes."
"There will be a new redemption price list tomorrow. Just claim it is your credit."
The communication was interrupted, and Demi was in the communication circle, looking uncertain.
She had a strong premonition that the Dawn Territory had long known the information about the Kraken gradually occupying its habitat on the west side, but it had not been named yet. It was through this conversation that Sera took it out and beat herself up.
Demi clenched her fists: "It's almost like she's teaching me how to do things!"
"I still have to show my gratitude, right?"
Demi, who activated the soundproofing circle, roared a few times and stopped panting.
"Just wait, as long as I perfectly integrate these sea monsters under my rule, we who have adapted to the land will surely be able to level the Dawn Territory effortlessly."
Thinking of this, Demi smiled again.
Not long ago, the snow monster gave her a great gift - [Siren Tail Shaping Potion].
Although it is said to be a Siren Tail shaping, it actually allows the Siren to camouflage its own scales and achieve complete anthropomorphism that only higher-level Sirens can achieve after studying for a long time. Moreover, the effect of this peculiar potion is reversible. Just take a medicine with the opposite effect to restore it again.
"Even the ancient snow monsters are on the side of their own kind. Dawn Leader, the advantages of the land race that you are so proud of are running out."
"puff!"
Before a sip of warm tea entered his throat, Lu Yu couldn't help but become a water-spraying dragon king after hearing the snow monster's confession that he also gave the potion to Demi.
This snow monster, who once stood completely on the shore watching the tide, now behaves more like jumping left and right.
He saved Olga and his party, helped the Dawn Leader to repel a group of high-level sea monsters, and sent him a list of medicines. Then he turned around and gave some detailed rules for survival on land, as well as medicines that can strengthen walking on land. Demi.
Lu Yu didn't even have to think about how much public opinion Demi would use this list to create. This was the knowledge that some high-level sea monsters tightly held in their hands. The top secrets belonging to the high-level sea monsters' monopoly were now in her hands. Mi is equivalent to mastering another piece of capital that condenses the Kraken.
The point is, the snow monster just did it, so why do you have to explain it to yourself? It can't be that the sweetness of the tea received by Chenxi makes the snow monster linger and come here to have a cup, right?
Seeing that the snow monster had finished his drink, Lu Yu quickly called out to him in the evening.
Full.
At this point, neither Lu Yu nor Sera is afraid of the snow monster. It’s not that they have the courage to fight this monster that may have entered the ninth level under the tide of magic, but the snow monster. He is a person with too many rules.
Over a long period of time, he forged a code of conduct that was as steely as he would not easily violate. Putting aside his radical side in the soaked spirit, he had been so calm for hundreds of years, which made Lu Yu and Sera suspicious. Has he decayed into a puppet, acting only for a certain obsession?
"Do you think I'm conflicted?"
Although Lulu disliked snow monsters very much and even had the urge to throw fireballs every time they met, she had no choice but to endure it when Lu Yu and Sera both restrained themselves.
So the anger that had nowhere to vent, the flames that could only stay in the palms and could not be vented, became the most offensive words Lu Yu had ever heard from Lulu so far.
"That's right, why aren't you dead yet, snow monster?"
Sera's eyes widened, Lu Yu opened his mouth wide, and tea dripped from his lips...
The snow monster paused in his drinking of tea. He glanced at Lulu without making eye contact, then quickly moved away and continued drinking tea.
"If one day, I reach the end of my life, and the God of Death who exists somewhere will take away everything from me, I will not object to Miss Lulutis burning my remains personally."
Lulu couldn't wait to grab Vera who was watching: "The snow monster has lived for at least seven or eight hundred years. How old can the longest-lived siren be?"
As a siren, Vera was also deeply in awe of the snow monster. After hesitating for a while, she said hesitantly: "It depends on the tide of magic. We are a race born in magic, and we are an alternative elemental body. , but I accidentally possessed flesh and blood, so..."
"It's so long-winded, how long will it take?"
"Maybe more than a thousand..."
Afraid that Lulu would continue to be aggressive, Sera quickly brought the topic back to the right track: "I really don't understand why you want to assist Demi. Do you think she is the best siren leader?"
"I simply don't want my fellow tribesmen to suffer unknown disasters and die... I stand on the seashore, feeling far more uneasy than they do. Under the sparkling waves, there seems to be thousands of malicious intentions wandering around, like schools of fish swimming around, everywhere. All over the sea.”
"Is this a crisis that only the Siren feels? Is it the glimmer of life that "He" kindly gives? Or is it a door He will always leave for the family? All in all, I felt fear too. "
"Demi is indeed not the best leader, but her current ambition can temporarily unite a large tribe that unites for warmth, just like the terrestrial species in history had to unite to form a city-state to resist foreign enemies due to wars. For the loose people in the past For the Siren Tribe, this is a necessary institutional improvement."
Lu Yu immediately understood what the snow monster was doing: "You should know that we have some tricks up our sleeves, right?"
"The black scale species of the Silent Reef can indeed be the key to dismantling the Demi Siren Empire in your hands. I support you." The snow monster praised, "Power is fascinating. Once Demi obtains it, he will not give it up easily. , once the disaster is over, she will definitely use various means to maintain her rule. She has learned the thinking of the terrestrial species, and she will definitely learn their practices. "
Lu Yu asked: "Are you still standing on the shore watching the tide?"
The snow monster stared at Lu Yu, picked up the spear placed on the table and stood up slowly.
He did not answer the question and walked towards the outside of the castle step by step.
Sera looked at the snow monster's leaving figure: "He has changed a bit since coming into contact with Vanessa."
"It seems like he has regained some humanity?" Lu Yu was unsure.
…
…
"Eunice, put it on the plate, put it on the plate, hurry up, the guys from the civil engineering team have just repaired the damaged house, and they are hungry!"
"Eunice, you're too slow. You're struggling to divide the dishes...Who asked you to help in the kitchen?"
"Eunice, that's salt. I asked you to bring the sugar. Why did you bring the salt?"
"Lord Sigrid, you came just in time. Please let Eunice go.
Well, she has broken thirty dishes in the kitchen a day, mixed up the seasonings seven times, and the speed of dividing dishes is not as slow as that of Slime. Look, look, Slime can quickly put the dishes together. It's equal parts, but she has to aim for a long time! "
"Yes, Sigrid-sama, please transfer her. She will really only cause trouble...maybe the civil engineering team will need her?"
After the two chefs repeatedly begged, Sigrid had to take Eunice out of the kitchen.
Before leaving, Eunice could still hear the two chefs complaining about her uselessness.
"It's not that I can't do it well, it's just that I'm not used to not having magic power at all. If I could use magic power, I could do better than slime!"
Sigrid did not point out the wonderful idea that she was competing with slimes at all, but patted her shoulder earnestly: "Why don't you go follow Dusk and Dusk first and see if you can do some odd jobs? That job should be It’s easier than what slime can do... shall we proceed step by step?”
