Chapter 1453: Negotiation completed!
After listening to the Flame Elf King's story...
The high elf councilors around them started discussing it again.
Some people agree with the Flame Elf King's statement, while others raise doubts and remain worried.
I still don't think it's going to work.
The Dragon Empire already possesses a super weapon. If we allow it to annex other interstellar civilizations and universes, how can we be sure that this won't backfire?
I might believe that the Dragon Empire wouldn't be as brutal as the Civilization Devourer, but who can guarantee that the Dragon Empire won't become another kind of aggressor?
"I think that if what Lord Flame Elf King said is true, then the Dragon Emperor can do what he promised."
"Then I think we can allow them to expand outwards to a certain extent, after all, this is also to resist the encroachment on civilizations and order!"
"How about... we discuss this again?"
The Emerald Elf King opened its eyes at this moment, looking at the Flame Elf King with some impatience, and pursed its lips as if urging him on.
The Flame Elf King no longer held back.
She said, "This time, the Dragon Empire hopes that we will provide technological support related to space exploration."
They're even willing to give us some of the technology related to the Supernova Ultimate Bomb in exchange!
These words shocked the entire High Council.
After a few breaths of silence.
The explosion sparked another round of discussion!
"It's that supernova ultimate bomb! That super weapon that devoured the civilized universe and directly destroyed seven star systems!"
"However, this only provides a portion of the technology, not all of it..."
"Do you think people are stupid?"
Don't you even look at what this transaction entails?
What they want is space exploration technology, which they can develop and explore on their own in the future, and it doesn't count as military technology.
But what did they give us?
The Supernova Ultimate Bomb is capable of destroying a galaxy and unexpectedly eliminating military technology that devoured nearly ten million interstellar warships in a single battle.
"If I were the Dragon Empire, you think you could trade my entire supernova ultimate bomb technology for just a piece of space exploration technology? You're dreaming!"
"If that's the case... then this matter is not something we can't discuss."
The Flame Elf King looked at the high elf councilors around him.
When she first brought this up, only one-fifth of the people present supported her.
So after she proposed the idea of the Dragon Empire, nearly a third of the people present agreed and supported it.
Now, as she presented the price the Dragon Empire was willing to pay, more than half of those present had already agreed to it.
The Flame Elf King turned his head and looked at the Flame Elf King with the highest status.
She kept her promises, saying what she was supposed to say and creating the environment she was supposed to create.
She did it all.
Now it's time for them to fulfill their promises.
"Ahem...please be quiet." The Radiant Elf King spoke.
The high elf councilors present fell silent and looked at the Radiant Elf King.
The Radiant Elf King, with his eyes half-closed, said in a deep voice, "It seems that more than half of the people now agree with this matter."
Since that's the case, let's make some requests.
What everyone is worried about is the Dragon Empire's disorderly expansion abroad and its use of violence, which could affect our own reputation.
In that case, we can act as a supervisor in this process.
First, if the Dragon Empire were to launch a military operation against any interstellar civilization or universe, it must first inform us, its allies.
When engaging in any military action and using force, we have the right to dispatch a fleet to observe the situation on-site.
If any unwarranted killings or persecution of civilians are discovered, we have the right to demand that the Dragon Empire immediately cease such actions.
..."
The Radiant Elf King made a series of demands.
At the heart of these demands is nothing more than placing the Holy Elf Empire in a noble position. They do not want to see war break out, they do not want to see bloodshed, and they will maintain peace within their capabilities.
To describe it using the word that was currently in the Flame Elf King's mind, it would be 'hypocrisy'.
However, she had already anticipated these things and had negotiated with the Dragon Emperor before returning to the Holy Elf Empire.
Emperor Xiaolong agreed to all of them.
Anyway, this part is easy to handle.
At the same time, Emperor Xiaolong himself was confident that although he was not a benevolent ruler, he would not kill without reason.
At least, this has always been the principle he has adhered to, and the Dragon Empire Legion fleet he has built also has this kind of atmosphere.
Therefore, Emperor Xiaolong had absolutely no worries about these requirements!
After the negotiations between the Radiant Elf King and the Blazing Elf King, the situation became increasingly clear to everyone in the High Council.
Okay, that's about it.
"Now, everyone, please make your statement." The Radiant Elf King looked at the other Elf Kings.
This matter is quite important, as it concerns the honor of the entire Holy Elf Empire.
If this matter is decided solely by a few Elf Kings, the subsequent consequences will be something they cannot afford.
After all, these elves often value their reputation more than their lives.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that those in these high-level councils can also accept this.
The Emerald Elf King was the first to raise his watch and declare: "I think this deal is perfectly acceptable to us."
The reason is simple.
Our Holy Elf Empire has been dormant for so many years, it needs to introduce a new technology!
Moreover, we have already seen the effects of this supernova ultimate bomb.
This is something that no single weapon in our Holy Elf Empire can match at present.
Although the Dragon Emperor has only promised to give us a portion of its technology.
But this weapon, which only represents a portion of the technology, is enough for us to digest for a long time.
Furthermore, we are allies, and in the future, we can conduct similar technology transactions with the JF-17 Emperor. Once there's a first time, there will be a second, and a third.
As a renowned scientist and leader in plant technology within the Holy Elf Empire, the Emerald Elf King witnessed the destructive power of the Supernova Ultimate Bomb explosion.
But I've always been very interested in this thing.
If it weren't for the other Elf Kings stopping him, he would have wanted to go to the Dragon Empire with the Flame Elf King.
Unfortunately, the Emerald Elf King's status is special, and not only other Elf Kings, but even the High Council would not allow him to travel to other universes.
"Originally, I was against invading other universes."
But after hearing Sister Saloman's explanation just now, it seems to make sense.
"If the Dragon Emperor truly acts as he promised and refrains from wantonly slaughtering and ravaging those original inhabitants of the universe, then I agree to this deal," the Azure Water Elf King said softly.
This immediately earned the agreement of the three Elf Kings.
The Radiant Elf King looked at the last Elf King.
"Onynes, what's your opinion?" the Radiant Elf King asked.
The Elf King Kaguya grunted and said coldly, "Since you've all agreed, does my opinion still matter?"
With that, he crossed his arms, sat there indifferently, and said no more.
The Radiant Elf King didn't want to make a fool of himself. He looked at the members of the High Council present and said, "Several Elf Kings have already expressed their opinions."
The High Council will now vote. Those in favor, please raise your hands.
Old fox.
The Flame Elf King, seeing that the Radiant Elf King had been in charge of the matter but had just made a statement ignoring his own position, knew that this guy was up to no good again.
I never easily express my opinion or take a position on anything; I always act as if it's none of my business.
He seems to have a non-competitive personality, but in the eyes of the Flame Elf King, this guy is far more inferior than the Kaguya Elf King.
At least the Elf King Kaguya was visibly pleased.
The old man, the Radiant Elf King, is a hypocrite.
The vote in the High Council ended quickly.
The outcome of the vote was predictable.
The Flame Elf King had already convinced most of the high elf councilors, and now even the three Elf Kings have expressed their support.
This matter was naturally approved.
"Alright, I'll begin..." The Flame Elf King smiled as he spoke.
He was interrupted by the Elf King Kaguya, who said coldly, "I think Salamander is not responsible for this cooperation."
Having just finished a battle, our Holy Elf Legion fleets all need rest and recuperation. Marshal Saloman will be in charge of this matter.
Moreover, I've heard that Marshal Saloman and that Emperor Xiaolong have a good personal relationship.
Therefore, I think this matter should be handled by someone else.
The sudden words from the Kaguya Elf King made the Flame Elf King frown. She stared at the Kaguya Elf King, that annoying fellow.
"So, do you want to get involved in this matter?"
The Elf King Kaguya crossed her arms and shook her head, saying, "I don't want to communicate with those guys. I feel uncomfortable even being in the same space as them."
I'm just offering a suggestion; you can choose the candidates yourselves.
The Flame Elf King clenched his fists, really wanting to punch this guy in the face.
"Then I'll do it!" the Emerald Elf King volunteered, it was rare to see the Elf King so enthusiastic about something.
The Radiant Elf King thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, you, Mansfield, will be in charge of matters related to technology."
However, another person is needed to oversee the future actions of the Dragon Empire towards other interstellar civilizations and universes.
As we just mentioned, we must stop the Dragon Empire from overstepping its bounds in a timely manner.
Now, everyone's attention was focused on the Radiant Elf King and the Azure Water Elf King.
Such an important matter can only be undertaken by someone of the Elf King's status.
The Flame Elf King wanted to avoid suspicion, the Kaguya Elf King was unwilling to get involved, and the Emerald Elf King wanted to be in charge of technological matters.
The remaining candidates are naturally these two!
