Chapter 171 Leon’s title has grown again.
As the queen of the elves, Alicia felt for the first time the overly explosive diplomatic methods of humans, or rather the Antolians.
The captured elves were eventually released by Leon.
After all, according to the young human lord, what he did was just to show kindness.
This made Alicia feel a little suspicious. She felt that the human brain circuit might be a little different from what she imagined.
Indeed, in a sense, rescuing the captured elves can indeed be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
But the problem is that those elves were originally captured by humans!
If humans hadn't captured them, there would have been no such thing as prisoners! Where is the goodwill expressed by first capturing the elf and then releasing it?
Are all human brain circuits so strange?
However, no matter what Alicia thought, Leon had already pressed the fast forward button on the contact between humans and elves.
Of course, even if Leon didn't do this, the elves could no longer sit still.
Because Elte, who was released, brought back a very clear message to the moon elves.
The land occupied by humans is expanding straight towards the Moon Shadow Forest at a rate of more than ten kilometers per week!
The speed at which the Antorians disperse the black mist depends on the production speed of the Shadow Manipulator.
The production speed of the Shadow Manipulator depends on the speed at which the gold diggers in the Sunken Wood Forest supply live wood to Antolia.
Although a dozen kilometers per week may not seem like much.
But what you need to know is that the Moon Shadow Forest occupied by the Moon Elves is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Bergoli Pass.
If the Antolian people continue to expand at this rate, then in less than half a month, it may even take only a week or two, the Moon Shadow Forest belonging to the moon elves will appear in the Antolian people within the field of vision!
So...
at the urgent meeting of elders, the Elf Queen had to state the reality they were facing now to the Moon Elf elders present.
"Humans have expressed their goodwill to the moon elves in their own unique way."
When she said this, the corners of Alicia's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
However...
since the moon elves' understanding of humans comes almost entirely from past history, no one knows whether there is anything wrong with this way of expressing goodwill.
In the final analysis, humans at least released the captured elves.
"So, I decided to have a brief meeting with the human lord...the guy named Leon Jimena."
After pondering for a moment, Alicia told her decision in public.
This is actually something that can't be helped.
The increasingly dense black mist has become the biggest threat currently facing the moon elves.
If we wait until humans expand to the doorstep of the Moon Elf clan before coming into contact with humans, then the Moon Elfs will undoubtedly fall into passivity.
Humans covet the fire in the hands of the elves, but why don't the elves covet the Antorians' instruments that can dispel the black mist?
You know, there is news about humans that came back with Elta.
According to Erte's description, in just a moment, the originally dense black mist was condensed into a wind column by the weird instrument, opening up a pure land in the world for human soldiers without the existence of black mist.
And this is exactly what the elves need now!
"Isn't this matter a little too hasty?"
Even though he understood the current predicament of the moon elves, some elders of the moon elves still put forward a different point of view: "We know too little about human beings. Who could have expected that this would not happen?" Could it be a trap set by humans?"
"The World Tree will protect me." Alicia said softly.
Alicia knows the current situation of World Tree better than anyone else.
If the concentration of the black mist continues to grow, then even the World Tree, which has protected the elves for thousands of years, may face the fate of premature aging.
What's more, different opinions are different opinions. As the Elf Queen, she is the only Elf tribesman who can communicate directly with the World Tree, so she naturally has arbitrary power.
So...
three days later.
Bergori Pass.
Leon Jimena, Marquis of Antolia, finally had his first historic meeting with Elf Queen Alicia.
"Lord Marquis, this is the noble leader of the Moon Elf clan, the master of the Moon Shadow Forest, and the guardian of the World Tree, Your Excellency Alicia."
As the elf who has the most contact with humans, Elte took the initiative to introduce it.
Such a long name?
Andrew, who was standing aside, seemed to feel a sense of provocation.
The name of your own lord must not be overshadowed by the elf queen in front of you!
Thinking of this, he immediately took a step forward and started his performance by analogy:
"In that case... standing in front of you is the only Marquis of the Kingdom of Andal, the head of the Jimena family, and the breaker of the siege of the royal capital. , the talker of the southern part of the kingdom, the destroyer of the plateau hounds, the pioneer of the southwestern highlands, the common lord of the Antorians and the Agares ancestors, the only leader of the southern mountain people, the explorer of the abandoned land, the dispeller of the black mist The most holy pioneer, the only inheritor of ancient magic, the noble and great Leon Ximena!"
Alicia: (#°Д°)
Elte:o((⊙﹏⊙))
oLeon: "..."
Unknowingly, it seems...that my name has become longer again?
The confrontation when they first met was only brief.
Leon also took advantage of Andrew's introduction of his name to observe the elf queen in front of him.
Well, I have a great figure and great skin.
And according to the information he got from Elte, the elf queen in front of him was definitely not young because of her race. She was really only in her early twenties.
So... it should be easier to fool than the old guys in the kingdom, right?
After realizing this, Leon couldn't help but think.
On one side is the human lord, on the other is the elf queen.
Since this is only the first contact between the two parties, it is destined that the meeting will not last too long.
Therefore, the two of them went straight to the topic as soon as they opened their mouths.
Even the final agreement was simple.
The elves used twenty fire seeds of the Eternal Fire in exchange for a World Tree sapling dug up by the Antolians.
The Antolians recognize the moon elves' sovereignty over Moonshade, and the moon elves are not allowed to interfere with the Antolians' expansion into the Forsaken Lands.
As for sensitive topics such as shadow manipulators and dispelling the black mist...
Even though Alicia wanted to talk about it, Leon always talked about other things.
the reason is simple.
Perhaps because they have lived in the abandoned land for a long time, the moon elves have very simple minds, and they can achieve unexpected results with a little deception.
So long before Alicia arrived, and even when Elte and others were first captured, Leon used his superb speaking skills honed among the veterans of the Kingdom of Andal to trick people into He got a lot of information he wanted to know.
From the situation of the Moon Elves to the distribution of forces in the Abandoned Land, from the Eternal Fire to the World Tree seedlings.
Leon touched them all!
And from this I learned a certain fact.
The longer you delay, the higher the price the elves can offer!
He has even thought about the cards he should play next!
"How about... each side sends an envoy?"
Finally, after careful consideration, Alicia couldn't help but suggest.
