As soon as these words were spoken, some people were happy and some were sad, but most people were more concerned about who the people were who persecuted the elves as Yang Yu had just mentioned.
And Queen Elena, as if she saw through their thoughts, continued:
“The reasons for going to war are quite simple.
It was the slave hunters from the Rose Empire who invaded the Elf Forest and threatened our safety. They did it on purpose.
This situation will continue in the future. If we do not unite and resist, more of our compatriots will be missing.
They have definitely affected our survival.
We can no longer turn a blind eye to this.”
Elena made an impassioned speech in the square. All these speeches were discussed by her and Yang Yu. It was a political show.
Putting all the blame on the Rose Empire for starting the war would make the elves hate the Rose Empire to the core and would also make them more willing to accept the decision to intervene in the war.
Afterwards, the Elf Queen naturally talked about giving assistance to Wansheng Kingdom, and Wansheng Kingdom would reciprocate and give them assistance.
Elena did not choose to avoid talking about the two humans, Bai Jin and Yang Yu, but once again acknowledged the achievements of Bai Jin and Yang Yu and acknowledged that there are good people among humans.
Many elves still have doubts about this and continue to raise questions.
Elena personally guaranteed the two people with her own reputation, and begged Yang Yu and others on the spot to help the elves again.
Yang Yu and his team possess magical powers that allow them to achieve long-distance communications. With them, they can get in touch with the top leaders of Wansheng Country and conduct face-to-face negotiations.
"I am not a good person like your queen said. We are adventurers, and we are here for profit.
To be honest, I want to borrow your secret treasure.
It was just your attitude towards humans at the beginning that made me give up this idea.
Now that I have the chance, I have to bring it up again.
Of course, I won’t borrow it for nothing.”
As Yang Yu spoke, in front of everyone, as if performing a magic trick, the bodies of the prey fell from the air one by one, forming a small hill in the square.
“This food is my rent to you.
The Elf Queen said that whether I can rent the elves' secret treasure is not something she can decide alone, so after going around in circles, I have to come back to ask for your opinions.
If you agree, I will pay you the rent in advance to help you through these difficult times.
If you don't agree, I will take back the rent. I'm not so kind as to provide you with food for free."
The temptation of a mountain of food was so great that the hesitant elf could hardly take his eyes away.
Even the elves who insisted that "humans cannot be trusted" began to be moved and would take a look from time to time.
“Just as Yang Yu said.
The importance of the Elf Secret Treasure is self-evident. We also have the choice of not giving it out. As long as you are willing to use perseverance and work with us to overcome the difficulties before the negotiation, I will choose to pay Mr. Yang Yu in other ways. I just don't know if he is willing.
Um, Mr. Yang Yu, considering that we elves are having a hard time, could you lend me some food to tide me over?"
"No. Food is hard to come by right now. If you guys don't want to, I can only see if I can go to the capital of Wansheng and exchange the food for something more valuable."
After saying that, Yang Yu nonchalantly took out another piece of red dried meat, put it in his mouth, and began to eat it with relish. At the same time, a red apple appeared in his hand, which he also put into his mouth, and began to eat it with a crunchy sound.
The elves present wanted to rush up, beat Yang Yu up, and then eat the food with relish, but because of the queen's face, they could only stand there, staring and swallowing.
If you don't agree to other people's conditions, all the food will be taken away by him.
Many elves know about the secret treasures of the elves, but only a few have actually seen them. The secret treasures of the elves are important, but they cannot be eaten at critical moments.
They thought that the Elf Queen would accept Yang Yu's conditions after careful consideration. A secret treasure in exchange for their lives was a good deal.
The elves all looked at Elena, hoping to see from her face what decision she would make.
Elena responded at the right time, leaving the choice to the public.
"Now, please make a choice with me and support renting out the treasure. Please raise your hands. If you don't want to, just leave it alone."
There was a child who raised his hand without hesitation. He didn't know what the secret treasure the queen was talking about. He just wanted to have a good meal.
A little child raised his hand, and other elf children who had the same idea also raised their arms timidly while observing their parents' expressions.
Soon after, many adult elves also raised their hands.
Before long, more than half of the elves raised their hands. After a while, more than three quarters of the elves raised their hands. Finally, the elves who were watching and did not raise their hands also raised their hands. Almost all the elves accepted the queen's offer to lend the elves' secret treasure to Yang Yu.
Using the word "borrow" makes it easier to accept than giving it directly.
If you borrow, you must return it, and it will not be difficult to borrow again.
Yang Yu made an agreement with the elves, left the food there, and immediately set off for the capital of Wansheng Kingdom to hand over the queen's handwritten letter to the prime minister of that country, Mingdarak.
The matter came to an end quickly. Before leaving, Yang Yu walked up to Bai Jin and Iyas and gave them some instructions.
"What you did just now was really heartbreaking. You ate with such gusto in front of everyone, aren't you afraid of being beaten?" Iyas said unhappily, and then stretched out her hand, "Do you have any dried meat left? Give me some as a reward for my hard work."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how you are doing with your studies."
Although he was harsh in his words, Yang Yu took out some dried meat and stuffed it into the mouths of Yias and Bai Jin.
"It is in the process of steady improvement, but there are still some minor flaws. Just wait for your surprise!"
As she spoke, Iyas stuffed a piece of jerky into her mouth, walked towards the crowd, found the short Hake among them, and stuffed all the remaining jerky into Hake's hands.
Bai Jin looked at the dried meat, not knowing what to do. After a long while, she managed to utter a word.
"Are you leaving now? We have just met for a short while."
"There's nothing we can do. The situation is urgent." Yang Yu put his hands on his hips. "I'll leave the contact to you. Adjust it from once a week to once a day. I don't know how long it will take to reach the capital of this country.
I will tell you when we get closer to the capital of this country. At that time, you can let the queen stay by your side to communicate with me.
After we set off, I will tell you my thoughts and what I will do in the future. Please help tell Iyas so that she can understand my intentions."
Bai Jin nodded and replied somewhat lonely:
"Um."
