Chapter 1193 - 1193 195 Unlucky Duo Requesting Monthly Votes

1193: Chapter 195: Unlucky Duo (Requesting Monthly Votes) 1193: Chapter 195: Unlucky Duo (Requesting Monthly Votes) Without any knowledge, the Kingdom of Elf inadvertently helped Moxi Duchy out of a calamity.

With the news of the Inherited Artifacts, the Clergy no longer had the desire to seek bad fortune with the Moxi People.

It’s just taking the blame for others.

In the past years, they have been blamed more than once or twice.

Even natural disasters were attributed to the Clergy’s immorality, causing the Divine Spirit to descend with warnings.

Regardless of the relation between these natural disasters and the Divine Spirit, such rumors would spread every time a disaster occurred.

Of course, the Clergy wouldn’t just sit back and accept this.

Almost simultaneously, there would be rumors of the King’s and Lords’ immorality.

After every major disaster, the Clergy’s Redemption Bonds sold well, and religious donations came rolling in.

Not only would the small Nobility dig deep into their pockets, but even the starving Serfs would find ways to show their support.

At Palace Square, a group of elves descended from the sky and landed directly on top of the Royal Palace, making Hudson grimace with annoyance, and the high officials of Moxi Duchy were livid.

It was truly bullying them.

While everyone was waiting at the entrance, these elves went straight to the rooftop, overlooking everyone from a high position.

What kind of behavior was that?

“Beautiful Miss Derris, you’ve had enough wind up there, come down and catch up!”

Hudson said in a seemingly magnanimous tone.

It wasn’t that he wanted to take the lead, but he was here today to show support for Moxi Duchy on behalf of the Kingdom.

Behind Hudson were representatives from the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent.

Although the Five Nations Alliance was not officially established, mutual vigilance against Different Races had become a consensus among them.

Further behind were envoys from Human Alliance nations to Moxi Duchy; they may find it difficult to give substantial support, but political support in name was plentiful.

Without these powers as backup, Moxi Duchy would have cowered long ago.

Although they have developed well in recent years, converting population and economy into military strength still required time.

“Marshal Hudson, your words are as unpleasant as ever!”

Miss Derris, the Respected One, responded irritably.

Although she complained verbally, she still led the group of elves to leap down.

Intimidation was enough with one display; it wasn’t practical to stay on the palace roof to catch the wind.

Essentially, they were here to negotiate, not cause mayhem.

If things truly went awry, the Elf Race would also ponder about sending troops.

Hudson’s words gave them a way out.

As to whether the words were pleasant, that depended on who was speaking them.

If a common person dared to jest in such a way, Derris wouldn’t mind letting him understand the authority of a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

“Miss Derris, please!

We had prepared a welcome banquet, but knowing you wouldn’t enjoy it, I took the liberty to cancel it.

Maybe we should go straight to the conference room to discuss serious matters?”

Hudson said with a smile.

It was all true; a banquet prepared by Moxi People certainly wouldn’t appeal to these proud elves.

Just standing together with Human Race made these arrogant elves feel disgusted, let alone inviting them to dance, which would likely lead to an accident on site.

The inherent concepts of a Species do not change so easily.

The highest etiquette on Moxi’s side might be seen as an insult in the eyes of an elf.

The Elf Race had its own system and rarely interacted with humans; everyone’s understanding of their life habits was actually not much.

What is recorded in books, those are all old stories from hundreds of years ago.

Furthermore, they have been deliberately beautified, in the eyes of a Bard, elves are the epitome of perfection.

There’s no helping it, humans are creatures of aesthetics.

Fortunately, the appearance of elves fits human aesthetic standards, and their pride even adds to their allure.

Even the willful Hudson had to remind himself when seeing a beauty like Derris: she is my grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother…

If the Elf Race weren’t so powerful, they would have been domesticated by human nobility long ago.

Looking at the various Human Race representatives present, except for the people from Moxi Duchy who felt insulted, the others weren’t really angry.

This was the privilege of attractiveness; if it had been any other Species, such disrespect wouldn’t be tolerated, and they would soon understand the majesty of a Strongman.

Only succubuses were believed to rival the elves in beauty, but unfortunately, Hudson had never seen one, so he didn’t know the specifics.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Derris entered the great hall without a word.

Everyone wanted to point out she was going in the wrong direction, but seeing that she was not easy to provoke, no one dared to speak up.

Hudson was also very helpless about this.

Deep down, he couldn’t help wondering why the Elf Race sent such a person to negotiate.

The Sanctuary Powerhouses were indeed powerful, but personal strength didn’t mean negotiation skills were strong.

Could it be that if negotiations failed, one would just flip the table and resort to violence?

In an instant, Hudson came to an understanding; it seemed that for negotiating with Moxi Duchy, the Elf Race really didn’t need any technical prowess.

Essentially, it was about intimidation by force.

Letting Derris make a fuss might be more effective than haggling at the negotiation table.

At the very least, the Moxi People were indeed intimidated for the moment, and even before the negotiations had begun, they were already at a psychological disadvantage.

Had it not been for Hudson’s intervention, the situation would have been even worse.

It was not a matter of capability; the notion of the Strongman being supreme had long been ingrained in people’s hearts.
