Chapter 88: Pleasure Doing Business (Ten Chapters! Please Subscribe!)

The propulsion module of the Doom Ark did not remain in disarray for long, coming to a halt quite precisely in front of Sage Beach. Admiral Sipaike, meanwhile, was specifically invited as a guest to the Landing Site for a conversation.

As a veteran who had participated in many Elf wars, Sipaike considered himself well-informed. Not to say he had achieved any great feats, but at the very least, as the superintendent of a Doom Ark and an individual in command of a fleet, he could be considered a mid-to-high-ranking existence within the entire war hierarchy of the Dark Elves.

At the very least, he could even frequently obtain audiences with Witch King Malekith at certain times and had the right to participate in decision-making.

He was a standard Dark Elf, so standard that he was even somewhat boring.

He liked slaves, liked blood, liked backstabbing, and liked even more invading Ulthuan to then transform his own body and soul back into pure white. In the heart of every pervert, there will always be some soft spots.

And the softest spot of the Dark Elves was, without a doubt, Ulthuan. Their greatest hope was to lead their king, the now golden-armored Witch King Malekith, to become the leader of Ulthuan. Although they themselves knew they were already hopelessly filthy compared to the original Elves, they still remained this way.

Even if they were to die, they did not wish for the most beautiful place in their dreams to be defiled by ugly enemies.

With faith in his heart and persistence in his soul, he was impeccable as a Dark Elf.

Until he saw the full picture of the Landing Site.

"..."

Looking at the Psychic Torch that combined Stonehenge and Tartarus, Sipaike felt that his mental will was being burned away in an invisible manner.

And turning his head, he saw another pure, seemingly infinite Crystal Maze. Just by looking at the reflections of his infinite selves, he felt as if a part of his Soul had been split away. To prevent his mind from having problems, he forced himself to shift his gaze toward the canyon.

But deep within that canyon, the terrifying object that resembled rotting matter made Sipaike's pupils tremble.

If, if he had not seen wrong, that should be the power of several evil gods.

He had originally thought that the Dark Elves played wild enough, but what exactly was this gentleman playing at?

Is this wizard planning to collect and continuously extract energy to one day blow the whole world to pieces? Do these things combined look like anything a righteous person should be doing? You acted like a decent person while on the ship, and now that you've tricked me onto the shore to show me these things, are you trying to warn me that it's best not to have any other ideas? Heh, how stupid, how could this prevent that? The first thing a Dark Elf thinks of when seeing these things is to kneel! "Admiral Sipaike, what are you looking at?"

"I say, sir, your insight is profound."

"But I haven't said anything yet?"

"I had anticipated it long ago."

Looking at the bewildered Li Ang, Sipaike suppressed the fear in his heart and squeezed out a smile for this terrifying, insane wizard.

"You brought me here perhaps to discuss matters regarding peace and trade, right? Although I am not considered an outstanding individual in the world of the Dark Elves, I can still decide on some commercial matters."

"Hmm, that is indeed the case. I do indeed wish to make a deal with your side."

The thin wizard nodded, looking at Sipaike as if he were seeing him in a new light.

And Sipaike, who seemed to have everything under control, was already cursing internally.

You put on this display; besides business trade negotiations and non-aggression treaties, what else could you possibly talk about? Directly make us kneel and beg for mercy? Then why didn't you do that earlier instead of going through all this unnecessary trouble? But on the surface, Sipaike could not say anything else, only maintaining that amiable appearance, laughing and talking with Li Ang. The conversational skills of the Dark Elf soon coaxed Li Ang into a happy mood, digging out some relatively confidential information.

But Sipaike felt he would have been better off not digging.

"Heh, that's right, that mountain range was indeed created by me. Look at that statue over there, that's me. Looking at the technique now, it might still be a bit unrefined." "Hmm, I did indeed create a few rivers and their sources, but the consumption was relatively high."

"Within the range of this World Scar, basically, I am clear on everything. Otherwise, I couldn't have appeared on the bow of your ship, right? But it's only seeing and hearing; I can only sense the general thoughts in some people's hearts, and that's only for my own people."

"You mean those Sea Elves? I was once very friendly to them, yes, very friendly. I asked them many times if they needed help repairing their Souls, but they didn't believe me."

"..."

Fine, what is there to say about this? Looking at the massive, alien-like steel architectural complex presented before his eyes, Sipaike stopped his steps and took a deep breath.

He was afraid that if he kept walking, his faith might not be so firm anymore. After all, not everyone can have the courage to maintain their faith when facing a character of this level.

"Let's lay our cards on the table, sir. What can you provide us, and what can we do to help you, let's just say it directly."

"So straightforward?"

"Yes."

If I'm not straightforward, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back.

Looking at the terrifying individual who could be said to be no worse than Witch King Malekith, Sipaike revealed a very sincere expression.

"Actually, I am also an outlier among the Dark Elf group; you can rest assured in trading with me. I am quite adept at keeping secrets and maintaining relationships. If you don't believe me, you can feel my heart."

"No need, if I were to force a scan, your brain might just explode."

Saying this shocking remark with a chuckle, Li Ang looked at Sipaike and softly stated his request.

"Actually, it's like this: I want to purchase some slaves from your side. I know you Dark Elves have many slaves, but I need those slaves more than you do. So I hope to be able to purchase them."

"Slaves? We Dark Elves do indeed have many slaves, but they are all very necessary."

"I will pay an amount that satisfies you."

Looking at Sipaike, whose expression seemed somewhat displeased, Li Ang revealed a mysterious smile and reached out to toss a piece of gold into Sipaike's hand.

"A piece of gold like this, for one slave. What do you think?"

"..."

We Dark Elves use slaves as daily necessities; there are only those who become slaves from the Dark Elves, I've never heard of selling slaves! This is an insult to the tens of thousands of years of Dark Elf history, you must apologize immediately! Although he really wanted to say this, feeling the weight of the heavy gold, Sipaike still swallowed a mouthful of saliva and extended his palm.

"Pleasure doing business?"

"Pleasure doing business."

Both sides smiled and shook hands, feeling the infinite sincerity of the other.

Ten chapters delivered! If everyone doesn't like it, then from now on, I'll just deliver five or more chapters at once at six o'clock, how about that? A guaranteed ten thousand words a day, I beg everyone to promote and support more! I really beg you!
