After a brief exchange, Connelia left first.

To be honest, the overall atmosphere is quite pleasant. Conelia looks "informed" and is even very happy to give Jones a way, but the progress seems to be far away. It can even be described as having no clue.

"The first time I encountered such a negotiation," Belle said helplessly: "It's just that we beg them, and they don't want anything. This is a very bad negotiator. We not only need to find ways to eliminate their concerns, but also find ways to exchange what they need. It's simply... To be honest, I haven't done such a business. They are like a stone that doesn't even have a crack."

Everyone gathered in Jones' room. The small room looked extremely crowded, and there was no place to sit. Jones could only sit on his coffin, with a face full of melancholy.

Belle sat down with a chair left.

"It's impossible for them to want nothing, otherwise why should we let us do it? Wouldn't it be better to just reject us?" Jones said: "Maybe we're just not officially entering the process."

"Maybe they wanted to refuse?" Belle asked back.

When Belle said this, Jones was stunned for a moment: "What does it mean?"

"Um..." Belle hesitated and replied: "We talked for half a year before we met. And the reason was not because you wanted to negotiate with them to buy ore, but... it was because you released the elf slaves. Logically speaking, you are friends of the blood elves, and they should not refuse you to come to Luo Gexian. At least in the matter of liberating elf slaves, they need your cooperation. But it seems that that's all, they really don't have more ideas."

"Then let's continue to talk to them about the release of the elves slaves?"

"But you have almost freed all the elf slaves on the entire Colin Peninsula."

"So what you mean is that this negotiation is actually doomed to fail at the beginning?"

"I don't think... I can say it certainly, but the chance is indeed not low." Belle shrugged.

"Since the chance is so low, why do you still let us come?" Dora murmured in a low voice.

"There is always better chance than the lack of chance, right?" Belle turned her face and said to her, "And you heard it just now. Only here can this kind of ore be found here. No matter how difficult it is, we can only start from them."

"But the chance is still very low, we are just a waste of time when we come here." Dora was so angry.

“As long as there is a little hope, it cannot be called a waste of time.”

"In the end, I didn't talk about success, it was a waste of time."

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

"I've tried it now, but I can't get it done!"

Both of them were almost quarreling, and William stood aside with his wand as quiet as a decoration.

"Okay." Jones could only say helplessly: "We knew it was difficult before we came, but we just didn't know it was so difficult. But no matter what, we had to do it. Must, do you understand?"

Dora's brows were so furrowed that she could wrinkle out of water.

Belle looked proud: "I mean that too, I have to try it, right?"

...

At this moment, Connelia and Daliana were staggering on unicorns, riding through the streets of Cartier, intersecting passers-by.

"Mr. Connelia." Daliana asked softly, "How should we arrange it next? I think you didn't have a very smooth conversation."

"Yes." Connelia raised her chest slightly and looked at the end of the street: "He doesn't have what we want...or there is, but someone has already given us one step ahead, so his position has become less important. If he had come here a few years ago, the way of negotiations would definitely not be like this. Even if he was willing to talk at the time, we could have let the queen go. But now, everything is different."

As he said that, CNelia looked at Daliana with a smile.

"I... don't understand very much." Daliana shook her head in a daze.

"You don't need to understand, this matter is not yours. Anyway, as friends of the Blood Elf, we have no reason to stop them. But the rest are not guaranteed. Don't offend him, try to do what he can't find fault. Don't worry about the others."

"Yes." Daliana bowed slightly.

The two of them accelerated slightly.

Countless passers-by were interspersed with them.

Oh, there is also an Angel inside, who is on his way home. Compared to when he went out, the only thing that has not changed seems to be the longbow and the arrow basket.

In order to prevent himself from looking so embarrassed, he cleaned up a little in the toilet of the Magic Academy. So, he is now an elf with no hair or eyebrows. His clothes are also torn and charred, and it is particularly eye-catching when walking on the road.

When he was intertwined with him, Daliana couldn't help but look back at him for a few more times.

"What's wrong?" asked Conelia.

"No, nothing? I saw a bald elf. He seemed to have no eyebrows..."

"Can it be a wood elves? The wood elves' hair color is different from ours. He wants to cover up his identity." As he said that, Cronia also turned around and looked at Angel in the crowd from afar.

The devil was still following Angel, but no one could see it.

At this time, Angel had no idea that he had been targeted by others: "What should I do? How should I explain when I go back like this?"

"Uh..." The devil replied hesitantly, "Just say that the fireball technique accidentally exploded himself?"

"Are you crazy? My father and mother neither allow me to learn magic!"

"But you even have to go to the magic school to go to decades. Do you think it can be hidden?"

"If you can't hide it, you have to hide it. Let's talk about it when it will be discovered." Angel shrank his neck and continued to move forward quickly.

"Does Lord Cornelia think it's a spy of the wood elf?" Daliana asked Cornelia. One hand was pressed on the dagger around her waist.

"It shouldn't be." Slowly shook his head, Connelia rode the unicorn and continued to move forward, saying casually: "It's too obvious to walk on the street like this. If the spies of the wood elves are so stupid, we don't need to worry at all. It may be just some unlucky guy. There are traces of fire on his body, and it may be that he played with fire and burned himself."

Daliana then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rode the unicorn to chase after him.

...

Jones casually said: "If there is no demand, we will create some demand for them."

"Making demand?" William suddenly felt enlightened: "This is a good statement. We can drag them into the war."

"Drag into the war?" Everyone around was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, don't you think this is a good idea?" William rattled: "The function of those ores is to make weapons. I mean, the main function. What if we make weapons and counter-sell them? If they also face war, then there will be demand. They can trade ores for the weapons we have built for them."

Everyone else looked at him expressionlessly.

"Don't you think this is a good idea?" William looked back and forth.

Belle shook her head helplessly, and Dora turned her face helplessly.

Jones pursed his lips and said expressionlessly: "Uncle William, it is not what we should do to initiate unnecessary wars. We belong to the justice side."

"Uh...is it? Sorry, I suddenly forgot to convert to justice. You guys continue."

Everyone in the room looked at each other and could not help.

Indeed, if you give up justice and persist, there will be more methods. Whether it is grabbing, cheating, or threatening, you can get the ore. But if you don’t give up your justice position, then...

"Maybe...we should threaten them, or exaggerate them." After thinking for a long time, Belle opened her eyes and said seriously: "We are stronger than them, and there is no doubt that this is true. If we use force to coerce..."

"We can't do that." Jones shook his head.

"What about the angels and demons? Will the angels and demons let them go after eating humans? If they have never thought about it, we will remind them."

"Belle, have you not read any information about the first and second epochs?" Jones asked back.

"Uh... I really haven't seen it. What's wrong?"

Sighing, Jones whispered: "Elf is different from humans. After the end of the Quaternary, the human alliance completely collapsed. Even history was interrupted. The history of the elves has never been interrupted. They knew clearly what happened in the first, second, third, and fourth eras. When the demons pressed them, they turned to the angels. When the angels pressed them, they turned to the demons. They have always done this. If we put pressure on them, then they will undoubtedly introduce the power of heaven to fight us. Then we will not even get the only ore we have now."

"Okay, it seems that this is a standard fence-bearing man." Belle had no choice but to spread her hands: "If it was a fence-bearing man, then the strategy would definitely be to refuse any sidelines before the situation was completely clear."

"And..." Jones closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Belle, I need to correct you a concept. I'm not sure we have an absolute advantage over the Blood Elves."

"Why? Don't we have the support of the Lichs?" Belle was slightly surprised.

"More than one million ten thousand-year-old lichs, yes, very powerful." Jones said helplessly: "But that doesn't mean we can win. As far as I know, the status of the blood elves on the continent is not lower than that of the blood clan. We have not really defeated the Senate. Similarly, no one can guarantee that we will definitely defeat the blood elves by using force."

"But they are not immortal races, and their lifespan is very short."

"But they have the power of a tribe and inheritance, unlike the lich who has been in charge of their own affairs for a long time, and also from the blood clans who have lived in decadence. Although I have never been to Luo Gexian, I have talked to some blood elves who have become slaves. I have learned a preliminary understanding."

"Okay...this is something I didn't expect."

After a long silence, Jones whispered: "The Blood Elves Queen once sent a letter to her father about cooperating to open the ruins of Kree Martha. I think that's what they want. If I want this, I can help them."

"Why didn't you mention it just now?" Belle asked.

"Because she didn't mention it, she didn't mention a word. If we took the initiative, we would be very passive." Jones shook his head slowly and said, "Has they found any way to open the ruins of Kree Martha? Normally, they should know that I can help them. If they really want it, then at least they should ask."

"Maybe Nelia doesn't know about this? Maybe she will mention it when we meet the Elf Queen?"

"Hope. I hope they have not solved this problem. So, it is very important to see the Blood Elf Queen tonight."

It seems that at this moment, Jones can only hope so.

Standing on the balcony, Jones saw a bare head in the crowd at a glance, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Who is it?

Do you still need to guess? Of course it is Angel.

Not only Jones was watching him, but everyone in the market was watching him. There was no way, it was not that bald elves were uncommon, but that there was not a single one in Cartier at all.

Of course, now that there is, Angel becomes the only one. His face turned red and he could only try to cover his head with his hands. But obviously, he could not cover it. So he could only continue to speed up.

Finally, he finally slipped back to his home and hid in his room. Then... he began to try to remedy it.

I made a bunch of strips of cloth, pulled out threads, dyed them black, and then stuck them to the top of my head. The key was the position of my eyebrows.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he looked depressed. Although it was much better than not having eyebrows, it was still the same funny.

"What should I do? It seems that I can't hide it anymore. Maybe I should be honest." He looked at the devil.

The devil looked at him quietly.

After a while, the devil asked softly: "Will it be bad if you are honest?"

"I don't know, maybe." Angel replied anxiously: "My father and mother have been preventing me from learning magic. If I was honest, I had an accident in the Magic Academy exam, then they would know that I had always wanted to learn magic and never stopped learning magic in private. And they would notice my brother's notes... In short, it could be very bad."

"Okay, then we've determined the policy now." The devil gestured and said, "It must be hidden, so that they can't find out, right?"

"Yes." Angel nodded.

"Okay, I understand." Looking at Angel, the devil said: "If we want to hide something, the best way is to create a bigger trouble to cover it up. As long as the big trouble is big enough, no one will pay attention to the little trouble anymore. This is the devil's law. Now, let me teach you..."
