While waiting for the negotiation date, Yang Yu closed the door to visitors under the pretext of preparing seriously for the negotiations. He also refined the racial essence brought by Mindarak into sugar to break through his own level limit.
The racial essence that Mindarak brought this time came from orcs (otters).
The refined level cap increase sugar added the otter item to the bracket column of Yang Yu's orc race.
This time the options that pop up are all skills:
1. [Angry Fangs] Open your bloody mouth and bite the opponent. The angrier you are, the higher the damage.
2. [Perfect Swimming Style] - Passive skill, +20% speed when swimming in water.
3. [Fishing Master] - Passive skill, limited to fishing, luck +10.
Yang Yu didn't think too much and clicked three directly.
March 2, 415th year of the Laux calendar.
This day was the time for the first negotiation between Wansheng Kingdom and Luoze Empire.
Early in the morning, Yang Yu and his companions changed their clothes and reunited with Mingdarak and the envoys.
They did not take the carriage out of the city gate, but went deeper into the Lord's Mansion of Xiaoye City.
In a room with white walls on all sides, there stood a huge round stone, filling up most of the space.
Bai Jin and the others were a little surprised. The round boulder in front of them was extremely similar to the props used to move around the floors in the Library of All Things, and even their uses were exactly the same.
However, the boulders in Little Night City are a bit bigger than those in the Library of All Things.
The round stones in the Library of All Things can lead directly to the underground fairy kingdom. They are not ordinary creations... Are the dragons related to the fairies
Bai Jin and Iyas thought the same thing.
After obtaining Mingdarak's consent, Qingzhu walked to the side of the gray sphere and placed his hand on it.
A line of text immediately appeared on the gray ball:
"Are you ready to negotiate?"
"All personnel have arrived and are ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gray ball became illusory, Qingzhu's body went straight through the gray ball, and the other orc messengers also entered the gray ball one after another.
There was fog in front of them, but Yang Yu and the others could see each other clearly.
Suddenly, a strong male voice came from the void.
"[Are you sure that these people in front of you are all the messengers?]"
"exactly."
After receiving Qingzhu's affirmative answer, the voice spoke again:
"[We have arrived at the negotiation location. I wish you a pleasant negotiation.]"
After saying that, the fog in front of Yang Yu and the others slowly dissipated.
A grand conference hall appeared in front of Yang Yu and his companions. Six giant dragon statues of different shapes stood in six directions. The blue dome emitted a soft light. The white marble floor was carved with beautiful flowers and birds of various colors, and a thick layer of glass was laid on top.
A large, exquisite round table was placed in the center of the conference room, surrounded by similarly exquisite chairs.
Stepping on the thick glass, everyone in the envoy group suddenly felt that the paintings under their feet came alive, and they could even hear the birds singing.
This place does not belong to Wansheng Kingdom, nor does it belong to the Rose Empire.
This is the backup meeting hall of the Dragon Council Nation. It is a great honor for ordinary people to be able to come here.
After walking out of the teleportation device, Yang Yu noticed that there was an identical gray ball right in front of them. The negotiation team of the Rose Empire slowly walked out of another gray ball.
The leader was a woman with noble clothes and elegant manners. She looked at the envoys from Wansheng Kingdom from afar, and finally locked her eyes on Yang Yu.
The eyes of a dragon statue suddenly glowed red, and the voice just now echoed again in this huge conference hall:
"[Please take your seats]"
Representatives from Wansheng Kingdom and Rose Empire slowly approached the conference table.
At this moment, the two ordinary chairs emitted colorful light, becoming more gorgeous and different from the other chairs.
Yang Yu sat down on one of the chairs, and the pretty woman sat right opposite him.
This is where the chief negotiator in charge of the negotiations sits, and the others are spread out around this seat along the left and right sides of the table.
After entering a state of meditation, the two sides started negotiations after the giant dragon shouted "Start".
The first person to raise the question was Ryuusi, the head of the Rose Empire's intelligence department.
Her eyes were still fixed on Yang Yu.
"I have doubts about the exchange table drawn up by your country."
Liu Qi slowly lifted up the exchange table he had just received two days ago. He saw red crosses all over the table.
"We are required to give up all soldiers below B+, and officers are only allowed to be exchanged for officers of corresponding ranks. What does this mean?"
As soon as Liuqi finished speaking, the orc envoys all looked at Yang Yu. They all stared with their eyes wide open, not daring to believe that Yang Yu had made such an exchange chart.
"It's just like what it says. We will detain your soldiers. After half a year, you will have the right to exchange them for soldiers below B+."
Yang Yu also took out the Rose Empire's exchange table and pushed it forward.
"This is our request, and we cannot compromise. You don't need to listen to our request anymore."
"May I ask, what if I refuse?"
Liuqi's face did not reveal even the slightest emotion, he just observed Yang Yu carefully, intending to find some flaws in Yang Yu.
In front of everyone, Yang Yu gave a very disdainful smile.
“If you refuse, we will refuse to exchange.
This is completely within the rules of the dragon.
If one party does not want to exchange them, they can keep the prisoners for half a year.
After half a year, you can choose to force a one-to-one exchange."
Several orc envoys could no longer sit still.
The annual prisoner exchange is an important means of increasing combat power, as they hope that veterans who have experienced combat can come back to guide newcomers.
Officers are also very important. Due to years of war, Wansheng Kingdom’s high-end combat power has been greatly reduced. Without high-end combat power to maintain the balance on the battlefield, more orcs will likely die.
What if I can’t get the officer I want if I talk like that
The orc envoys were extremely nervous and observed Mindarak's expression, but found that Mindarak had no intention of stopping it at all.
“May I ask why your country made this choice?”
The expression on Liuqi's face remained unchanged.
"This is a crucial link. If we don't have enough soldiers on both sides... or, in other words, enough experienced soldiers to supplement the battlefield, our losses will increase rapidly."
"The only one who would think this way is the Rose Empire."
Yang Yu crossed his fingers and placed them on the conference table.
"In the past, you captured a large number of our soldiers. We wanted to exchange them for a few capable officers, but we didn't capture enough of your talents, which is why you kept asking for exorbitant amounts of money.
We won't let you do whatever you want this time.
You are nothing but a bunch of dogs who take advantage of others’ power.”
