Chapter 833: Chapter 833: New Cooperation Terms

After the modification was complete, it was already evening. Even though this auxiliary magic pattern was relatively simple, it still took a long time. Many magic users observed to learn, but could not grasp it.

After all, this thing has been encrypted by Zhao Guang; how could it be easily understood just from the surface?

Even teaching it hand by hand, the difficulty remains high, and it’s not easy to learn.

After everything was done, Zhao Guang returned to his laboratory but was stopped by Alya on the way.

“If there’s something you need to discuss, let’s talk in my office,” Zhao Guang said. His office was essentially a laboratory, but Zhao Guang had many laboratories, not just one.

Seeing that Sophie wasn’t with Alya, he knew she was there to discuss serious matters.

Sophie’s talent was high, but it was in cultivation, not in negotiations.

Alya nodded and followed Zhao Guang to the office, then sat opposite him.

Without speaking, Zhao Guang looked at Alya, and after a long while, Alya finally couldn’t help but say, “This request might be presumptuous, but could you teach us the method of creating the Thunder Warriors?”

Alya continued, “If you agree, I will remain in the Xuanwu Territory forever, and the Elf tribe and Xuanwu will forever be friends.”

To stay forever meant offering herself as leverage to Zhao Guang.

“So, how many quotas do you want each year? Speak up,” Zhao Guang directly said.

“It’s not the quota we seek; we want the method,” Alya said nervously, as this secret method was really too precious. Even a three-year-old child could see the importance of this secret method; directly asking for it was indeed a bit excessive.

But how could the Elf tribe place their powerful strength in the hands of others, especially when the other party is an untrustworthy human? Even though they’re friends, it doesn’t mean putting everything on the line.

Zhao Guang glanced at Alya and then said, “Not enough.”

Although Alya was good, compared to this secret method, the value was indeed insufficient.

Perhaps a mage might not value this secret method greatly, but for a faction, it was extremely significant, especially for a country or a race.

“Then, what are your conditions?” Alya asked nervously, because the Thunder Warrior’s secret method was really important.

Now the other side had the advantage, so no matter what demands they made, she could only comply.

Zhao Guang thought for a moment and then said, “Two conditions. First is mutual aid; the Elves must not initiate attacks on my people and must assist fully in times of my difficulty.”

“Impossible, even if you can be trusted, what about other humans?”

Alya got agitated, having spent some time in the Xuanwu Territory, Alya understood humans better.

Unlike their simple Elves, humans were complex, lacking a unified trait.

There were indeed good people, but plenty of bad ones, and even a single person could change through different life experiences. Such changes were hard for the Elves to adapt to.

Zhao Guang waved his hand, “It’s a contract with my family, not with Xuanwu.”

“If any of my descendants wrong the Elves, they can be singled out and excluded from the contract.” Indeed, Zhao Guang was considering his descendants.

Although he was young now and didn’t want children, it was an inevitable matter.

Eventually, when he wanted stable inheritance, he would naturally have his woman conceive.

Alya calmed down, realizing that since it was Zhao Guang’s descendants, and those who acted wrongly could be expelled from the contract, there wouldn’t be any worries, even though this contract break only applied to individuals.

But thinking about the terrifying reproductive ability of humans, Alya was a bit worried.

“Only a few of your main line; if your descendants grow too numerous, we can’t manage them all.”

Zhao Guang thought for a moment; he had indeed overlooked this point.

“Okay, but it counts for my direct descendants’ main line.” This main line wasn’t just one; it started from him. So, if he had several sons, there would be several main lines.

These were crucial details to be discussed, as a contract would be established thereafter.

Since it concerned the entire Elf tribe’s contract, it must be handled with care, and Alya dared not be complacent.

After contemplating for a few minutes and confirming no major issues, Alya nodded, “Okay, but we do not know how many descendants you will have in the future, so your main line of descendants will be limited to twelve, represented by tokens.”

Only twelve? These Elves weren’t easily fooled.

“Thirty-six.” Who knows if future descendants might have issues; twelve main line inheritances were unstable, so he simply tripled it to a heavenly number.

“I need to discuss this.” Alya conceded.

“Then, what about the second condition?” Alya asked again.

“The second is simple: I need to trade with the Elves. Though Elves have been reclusive, many of your things hold high value in our Human Empire, and you probably lack many things too.”

Trade? Unexpectedly, Zhao Guang proposed such a request.

The Elves weren’t completely isolated, but their exchanges weren’t commercial but rather gift exchanges. Direct trade was indeed unfamiliar to Elves, but the Beastmen should know.

“Okay, but not inside the Elf Forest. We must also arrange necessary protective measures. Moreover, this trading hub should be at a neutral central location, involving the Beastmen too.”

Zhao Guang didn’t refuse, nodding directly, “No problem, that’s entirely possible.”

Zhao Guang intended for real trade, not using trade as a guise for other matters. So assuring the Elves was necessary, and if needed, he’d even dispatch troops.

“Also, isn’t your secret method for Thunder Warriors incomplete?”

Zhao Guang nodded, “It’s indeed incomplete; I’ve just reached the advanced level, and I haven’t developed the Great Knight level yet. As you know, the Great Knight level and advanced warrior are two entirely different stages.”
