Chapter 713 Meeting the Elven King(2/2)
Have we finally come to the point? Sherlock was certain in his heart and said firmly: "Mutual benefit and win-win situation!"
"Mutual benefit and win-win is a good word, but how to achieve it?"
How to achieve it, you know much better than me. Shylock directly copied the establishment process of Misdrannor in later generations.
The establishment of Mith Drannor was originally proposed by Eltargrim. Now that I hear it, I naturally feel that I am late to meet you.
After Sherlock finished speaking, Eltagrim couldn't help laughing and said: "I have also imagined such a future, but if I want to realize this dream, the first obstacle is the inter-racial conflict. So, I am prepared to
Sign a peace agreement with the humans of the valley."
"Peace agreement?" Sherlock pretended not to know.
"In exchange for a promise not to continue deforestation of the Cormanso forest, I would allow the Valelanders to settle on the edges of the forest where the giant trees grow.
But this is not an easy task. Whether it is elves or humans, and yes, you half-elves, there are different voices within the group.
Do you know how to make all sounds unified?"
"Uh... coercion or inducement?" Sherlock replied tentatively.
"Hahahaha, it can indeed be said that way, but I prefer the expression of giving both kindness and power." Eltagrim laughed and said, "And this is exactly what I need you to do."
"I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty." Although Sherlock didn't understand the situation yet, he would not lose anything if he took over the task first.
"I am going to send a mission to various valleys for exchanges, and I need you to provide some necessary assistance."
"Necessary assistance refers to..."
"What you did in Sembia yesterday was very good."
"You mean..." A gleam flashed in Sherlock's eyes: "I understand, Your Majesty!"
At present, the elves really urgently need to reach some kind of peace agreement with the human race, so they have been trying to avoid conflicts between the two races, and are even willing to pay some necessary prices for it.
But peace can never be obtained by groveling.
In addition to favors, a certain degree of coercion is also necessary.
Only if you show enough strength will others respect your ideas.
However, the elves clearly have a civilization and power that far exceeds that of humans, but they are so proud that they completely disdain to show this power to humans.
This also allows arrogant humans to breed more and more desires and ambitions.
The signing of the Valley Bottom Agreement also caused a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Originally, Eltagrim was prepared to make more compromises, but the commotion Shylock made in Sambia gave him hope of breaking the situation from another point.
"Sherlock, I will ask Silinxi to be the nominal leader of this mission, but secretly I will ask her to fully cooperate with your work, and your only task is to find ways to reduce the human resistance to the peace agreement in the valley.
Emotions, whether they are used with force or advantage." Eltagrim said seriously.
"Thank you for your trust, I will definitely let the reputation of the elves resound throughout the valley!" Sherlock said solemnly
