Chapter 518: Chapter 518: The Deal Is Finally Struck

These Elves don’t know if it’s a habit spoiled by their subordinate countries, but even when they were at an advantage, they always felt like they were being taken advantage of by humans, and they could never agree on a price.

Even though Fang Jie didn’t feel anything wrong with the Elves’ attitudes, he almost believed they were doing it on purpose.

One by one, the Elves, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, insisted on a final price that was only 80% of the initial offer.

If he agreed to this, it would amount to giving them a 20% discount. While it was based on market price, Fang Jie would earn much less, and some items would hardly turn a profit at all.

Similarly, Fang Jie neither hired nor sold any of the troop types he produced.

The negotiations between the Elves and Fang Jie had come to a complete standstill.

Three days of time passed, and even Emily started to get irritated, but Fang Jie simply wouldn’t agree.

"Mr. Fang Jie, this is already our final bottom line for the price, please don’t be too greedy."

"Your price is too low, only 80% of the market price, and the transaction price in the market often exceeds the normal market price. Trading at this rate would be a huge loss for us."

"But this is the trading price in our country."

"I don’t know about the Black Flame Empire, but please don’t use your prices to measure our market. Those countries under your control, they dare not demand too high a price from you, right?"

Fang Jie didn’t mince words; he had realized that one has to be direct when speaking with Elves, otherwise they might not understand.

"But if we continue to lower the prices, we won’t be able to explain it when we return."

Suddenly, Qin Lan tugged at Fang Jie and then spoke up, "We can accept your price, but we need some other form of compensation."

Hearing this, Emily’s eyes brightened—finally, they had conceded.

If it continued like this, they would only have to leave, and their mission would be a complete failure.

However, they were currently up against Demons and didn’t have the time to deal with the Humans in the South. The strength of the Southern Humans was not weak, and if they really got into a fight with them, plus a Beastman on their side, it would be hard for the Elves to parry.

If the internal balance within their country broke, the outcome would be very different.

Qin Lan spoke directly, "You control the Overseas Alliance, don’t you?"

Emily shook her head, "Not exactly, it’s just that there are subordinate races controlling it, we only provided some assistance, they haven’t joined our Alliance."

Mentioning their own alliance, the faces of the surrounding Elves reddened a bit.

The alliance was practically in name only, having few members join, and those who did were only small forces.

They had always wondered why, but after Fang Jie had laid it out clearly before, they now understood the reason. If the roles were reversed, they probably wouldn’t be willing either.

Only those who were truly unable to survive on their own would make such a choice.

"Well, our request is simple, we will not interfere in your overseas developments."

Fang Jie also spoke up, "The Sea Alliance must not interfere there, and tell me the method to advance to Demigod."

Before Fang Jie could agree, Qin Lan immediately interrupted, "If these conditions are met, we can give you this price, but only for two years." She was worried Fang Jie would immediately agree to an indefinite timeframe.

Although they could earn a little at this price, it was essentially working for free.

Fang Jie glanced at Qin Lan. Although it was working for free, they were still progressing. Even without setting a timeframe, once they had trained a Demigod Expert, they could replace them.

Upon hearing this, Emily pondered silently.

The method to advance to Demigod was not really a secret at their place in the world. Anyone who was earnest could find out, it was just too difficult a path, which is why there were so few Demigods.

Of course, there was a significant reason for this—as they were frequently lost in the battles in the North, leading to an overall scarcity.

"We can agree, but the timeframe cannot be just two years, that’s too short, at least thirty years are necessary."

Fang Jie immediately shook his head, "Thirty years is too long, as you know, we Humans do not live as long as you do."

After some bargaining, the duration was finally agreed upon to five years. It was the Humans who had the better negotiation skills, so the Elves had no choice.

Even though it was only five years, there would be other ways to continue signing contracts after that.

Emily continued, "We can avoid interfering with the Sea Alliance, but you cannot attack Moon Night Island."

Fang Jie’s eyes narrowed, "Very well, we Humans and Elves will not attack Moon Night Island." Fang Jie spoke of Humans and Elves but did not mention others—if it were the Undead, that would be none of his concern.

Emily hadn’t thought of this, but after the terms were set, they quickly drafted a Contract.

After verifying it was correct, Emily brought out a special Contract paper and wrote the terms on it. Then, she took out a Divine Statue and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Fang Jie was somewhat surprised, as he really didn’t know.

"This is the Divine Statue of the Contract God, overseeing all contracts in the world. Once a contract is signed, it cannot be violated; otherwise, the God will impose a Divine Punishment. Any powerful contracts you previously came across were likely bolstered by the Divine Power of the Contract God."

Using the Divine Statue, the effect would obviously be stronger and more secure.

However, Fang Jie had never intended to break the contract—every detail was written very clearly and thoroughly. After verifying there were no mistakes, Fang Jie wrote his name on it, and Emily did the same with hers.

This was with the backing of their respective powers, the contract was complete, encompassing the entire force.

In other words, if someone wanted to sacrifice themselves to break the contract, it was not possible. If anyone violated it, everyone behind them would be penalized.

Given the nature of the Contract God, the punishment would either be death or a loss of lifespan, which was undesirable for anyone.

"Alright, the contract has been signed, so will you proceed with fulfilling the contract?"

Emily nodded, "Of course, although I hope this information is not carelessly leaked. Although it’s not a secret, too much knowledge of it isn’t good, especially for those with weaker abilities as it could have repercussions."

In the Black Flame Empire too, only the upper echelons and strong knew—the main concern being to avoid affecting the growth of their own people.
