Seeing that Ryan didn't speak and Latanilu didn't care, he continued: "I believe other kings have confirmed this matter, but I am also interested in enchantment. I can't figure out such a powerful artifact anyway, Mr. Ryan How did you design it to make that first request? It’s not like you can’t trust Mr. Lane.”
After saying this, Latanilu's tone changed, and he said to Ryan: "Since we have such a powerful artifact, it would be strange if we didn't take advantage of it, so for several kings to decide to join forces to attack the illithids. , the Grand Archon will not forcibly stop it, but we also hope not to exterminate the illithid family. I believe that it will be weakened to a certain extent to ensure that the illithids will no longer become an obstacle for several kings to dominate the other world. "
Such a request seemed a bit unkind, because Latanilu himself believed that Ryan's throwing of the artifact was a means to save himself and divert the target of hatred. How could he be convinced by himself with just a few words, so he added : "This is not what the Archon wants to show, but the reason why the other world is so powerful is closely related to the confrontation between the seven kings and seven powerful races of the other world. If one day the other world really If they are completely unified by a certain race, that may be the beginning of the weakening of the other world. Therefore, even if it is for our own consideration, it is better to maintain the current situation of hegemony among the powers as much as possible. If there is a confrontation between the two powers, it will It will greatly weaken the strength of the entire alien world."
Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but laugh. He responded to Latanilu and said, "Lalu, you are talking to the wrong person. I am just a small field powerhouse. The future development trend of this other world is It seems that this is a heavy and huge topic that should be discussed face to face with Mother Herest and Harim Van Sultan."
Latanilu shook his head and said: "No, our great consul does not regard you as an ordinary strong man in the field. Since the history of other worlds, all those who can use pseudo-divine power but are not true demigod kings are That kind of strong man who has been stuck at the bottleneck stage of his field for countless years. According to the statistics of our Titan clan, the number of such characters who are eventually promoted to demigod kings accounts for almost one-tenth of the total number. Mr. Ryan, don’t underestimate them. This number is much more astonishing than the ratio of ordinary people being promoted to legends when they are promoted to realms."
"Of course, these are things for the future after all." Latanilu's tone changed again. He looked at Ryan and said: "Let's bring the topic back to the matter we talked about before. The Grand Consul has already informed several kings. An envoy was sent. Survival of the fittest in the alien world is an inevitable law. We, the Titans, will never interfere and have no ability to change this plane law. We just hope to preserve a race with such a powerful talent like the illithids. We don’t want to Just kill it to death."
"Of course, I understand your position and interests very well, Mr. Lane. If Mr. Lane, as the initiator of the whole thing, can do his best in this regard, our Titan clan is willing to sign a contract with you. If Mr. Lane and you one day in the future Your tribe has also encountered a similar situation. We, the Titans, are willing to provide shelter for you and your tribe, just as we hope to protect the illithids from being exterminated." Ratanilu the Howler finally said the most important thing about his trip. An important thing. Then he looked at Ryan's expression carefully and waited until the latter gave him the answer.
Since these words were all spoken in the common human language of Ryan's hometown, Ryan and Faras could clearly understand what Latanilu meant without translation, but Aledia and Boyadi Nas and the others were sitting nearby and were confused. They didn’t know what Ryan was talking about. They wanted to ask Farasi, but after seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, they still made the same choice. fell into silence,
Faras has hardly expressed any personal opinions around Ryan recently. In the eyes of others, she is becoming more and more like Ryan's shadow. This is mainly because her Dark Elf language is proficient, and there is absolutely no problem in daily conversation and communication. But when it comes to important occasions like the meeting of kings, even a different pronunciation can hardly lead to two completely opposite results, so Faras very wisely chose to remain silent. Everything was done by Ryan, and at most she was behind the scenes. We will discuss some specific issues with Ryan in detail.
It's just that today Latanilu used the common language of mankind. Faras naturally had no problem using this native language that she had learned from novels. Therefore, after listening to the other party's proposal, an idea came to her mind almost instantly. , Ryan would rather give up the guardian of the earth to choose a free and unrestrained destiny. How could he succumb to the Titans' request today, which sounds very polite but actually controls everything, so she can be sure that Ryan will definitely refuse this. proposed,
However, Faras also knew very well that her current power was not strong enough, and it was far from enough to confront the king of the other world and his strength head-on. So when she saw Ryan's face change slightly and he opened his mouth to speak, she quickly gently She reached out and put her hand on the back of Ryan's hand, and then she said to Latanilu: "Lalu, it's impossible to give you an answer to this matter right away. Anyway, the exchange meeting will take some time, so please come to New Elmida now." You can stay in the city for a while so we can discuss it."
Latanilu nodded and said, "Okay, this third matter must wait until you give a clear answer before we can continue. In this case, I will wait for your answer. I hope it is the one I am looking forward to." .”
Having said that, there is no need to continue this meeting. The accommodation and other issues in Latani Road will naturally be troubled by subordinates. There is no need for Mr. and Mrs. Lane to worry about it. The two of them sent Aledia and Boyadi away. Nas returned to the meeting hall, and Ryan personally sealed the entire hall. After confirming that no one would eavesdrop, she said with some displeasure: "Fani, why did you stop me from rejecting him on the spot? I know You mean it, but this kind of principle issue cannot be compromised."
"I didn't say I agreed with him, I just delayed it a little." Faras replied: "Ryan, this behavior of the Titans is clearly to show their sense of existence. If they don't say these words, several kings will Will the entire illithid race really be completely destroyed? No, as long as the illithid mastermind is still the demigod king, this scene will not happen. Who would fight an opponent with similar strength for nothing, leaving the enemy with the opportunity to take advantage of the situation? Woolen cloth."
"Well, what do you mean?" Ryan didn't really accuse Faras. He was just venting his anger by speaking like this. However, because he was angry, he could no longer resonate with his wife's soul, so he naturally had no way of understanding. Faras's inner thoughts came to mind. Now Ryan had readjusted his emotions, so he quickly guessed what his wife meant without Faras continuing to speak. It was obvious that Faras planned to wait for other kings to jump out and confront the Titans tit for tat. There is no need for Ryan to become a target of the Titans for no reason.
"Take it slow, I don't believe other kings can bear this tone." Faras said with a smile: "But the Titans often stay out of things, I'm afraid their ambitions are not smaller than other races. It's just that occupying a seemingly aloof position allows them to move forward and retreat more freely. Well, I don't know what the third thing he wants to mention is. Listening to Latanilu's tone, it seems to be directly related to this second thing. Relationship, maybe they are also interested in your enchanting skills and hope you can make something."
"There's no need to worry about this kind of thing. He will tell you when the time comes." Ryan waved his arm and stopped talking about these things with Faras. He took a sip of water and said with some worry: "Teacher Jialib, on the other hand, he said he would be back soon after going to Dragon Island, but several months have passed. Why is there no news at all? There is also no news about the expeditionary legion for a long time. I don’t know how their fighting situation is over there. Speaking of our arrival in another world, it seems that the situation is not bad, but what we really need to do is just the beginning. The strength of the demigod lich is far greater than we imagined. It is even more powerful, and I don’t know when we will be able to break into the crazy lich tower where it is located and completely end the threat that hangs over mankind. But even these kings there are quite afraid of it. Does it mean that we must rush to the demigods? In order to complete this journey to another world, it is really far away."
Ryan was just talking casually. He knew very well that it was impossible to complete so many things in one day. There were too many things to do, but Ryan himself was too busy to do one thing, so he could only do one thing well. One thing, among so many things, the most important and simplest is naturally the ongoing exchange meeting. As the host, Ryan not only has to entertain exchange groups from different kings and forces, but also personally explains to these visiting enchantment masters. His design originally only required one day for a similar activity. However, due to the sudden appearance of Latanilu, Ryan consciously changed the process of the entire exchange meeting. Not only did he spend three days explaining in detail what item could be restrained, The magical items of the illithid take the initiative to communicate with the visiting enchantment master.
For such activities, various forces are secretly wary of each other. The content used for communication cannot reveal the most important secrets of the clan, nor can it be too superficial to cause others to laugh at themselves, so communication is still very energy-consuming. , but Ryan is not limited by this. With his strength and learning ability, he often masters the key points of the enchantment skills he is communicating with in just a few words. Therefore, after this exchange, Ryan gains the most among many enchantment masters. that one,
