After seeing the man standing in front of her, Yue qianhua’s tall body trembled slightly.
It wasn’t for any other reason, but just from the looks of it, the Holy Dragon City Master in front of him was definitely a person with a strong will.
All of these people had extraordinary experiences, and they all had their own opinions and limits, not easily compromising.
According to the information he had gathered, this human city Lord Lou had an extremely mysterious background. His cultivation was profound, and it was very likely that there was an unknown powerful force behind him.
It was with the help of the mysterious force behind him that he was able to build a tower out of thin air in a short period of time, and then forcibly advance it to rank 5!
During this period, his Holy Dragon City had defeated a large number of monsters that attacked the city several times, killed intruders from other dimensions, and destroyed five or six towers of varying strength.
Now, within a radius of a thousand miles, there was no other power in the city that could compete with it!
After the experience of this legendary city Lord flashed through her mind, Yue qianhua slowly walked forward and bowed slightly.
“The daughter of the moon god count, the city Lord of the ninth city, Yue qianhua, greets the city Lord!”
The girl’s voice was like a clear spring in a secluded valley. It was pleasant to the ear, but her tone was a little strange. It was obviously a flute sound that the noble elves used.
The fairy clan revered a beautiful mythical beast called Cai Xiao. They then imitated this Cai Xiao and created a strange tone called Xun sound.
Although the other races were not used to this strange flute sound, the elves still stubbornly regarded it as a symbol of power and nobility. They would definitely use this flute sound to communicate during formal occasions.
Tang Zhen nodded. At the same time, he sized up the girl in front of him.
It had to be said that the elves ‘appearance was extremely outstanding, and the girl in front of him was one of the best.
Her facial features were extremely delicate, as if they were carved from a piece of peerless Jade, perfect and flawless.
Her body was slender and well-proportioned, and with the White leather armor, she looked extremely beautiful. However, the most eye-catching thing was her long legs.
Her legs, which were tightly wrapped in white fabric, were definitely the straightest and most well-proportioned pair of legs that Tang Zhen had ever seen. It looked extremely pleasing to the eye.
Although the girl did not avoid his gaze, Tang Zhen could clearly sense a trace of guilt in her eyes when their eyes met.
Tang Zhen quietly praised in his heart. He then softly opened his mouth and said, welcome to Holy Dragon City, miss Yue qianhua. I hope you have a good time here!
Although Tang Zhen wasn’t afraid of the elf clan that was thousands of miles away, he still had to show the necessary courtesy when facing a guest.
After inviting the other party to sit down, Tang Zhen looked at Yue qianhua and chuckled, ” “The surname Yue is one of the ten most ancient surnames in the fairy clan. It seems that miss Yue qianhua is a descendant of the fairy clan’s ancient bloodline, and her status is noble!
There’s an old saying in the human race that goes,”one doesn’t visit the temple without a reason.” So, would miss Yue qianhua please state your purpose for coming?”
Although Tang Zhen had a smile on his face when he said these words, his tone faintly carried a trace of unyielding intent.
How could Yue qianhua not understand the meaning in Tang Zhen’s words? it was obvious that Tang Zhen did not welcome their arrival.
However, Yue qianhua had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She would not retreat just because of a few words from Tang Zhen.
There were some things that had to be tried even if the chances of success were not high. After all, you had never done it before, so how could you know that it would not succeed?
As she thought about her teacher’s teachings, Yue qianhua chuckled and slowly spoke.
“You’re able to tell the origin of my surname in one breath. City Lord is indeed knowledgeable!
I’ve come to Holy Dragon City this time for three matters, and I may need your help with all of them.”
After saying this, Yue qianhua stared at Tang Zhen, waiting for his reaction.
Tang Zhen’s brows were slightly raised when he heard this. He swept his eyes over the other party and softly said,”I’d like to hear the details.”
Seeing that Tang Zhen did not reveal any emotions, Yue qianhua continued, ” the first thing is to ask my Lord to release the elf mercenaries you captured a while ago. They are all residents of my father’s city.
Tang Zhen pondered for a moment and said to Yue qianhua, ” “Up until now, there have been close to a hundred elves who have signed employment agreements to provide Holy Dragon City with services for ten years. The signed contracts can not be changed, so these contractors can not be handed over to you.
As for the other prisoners, I can return them to you, but according to the usual practice, you must pay the corresponding ransom!”
Yue qianhua nodded in agreement with Tang Zhen’s words.
The brain was not a problem for her at all. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the elven race was about to collapse, the heritage of the powerful and influential still existed.
It would not be a problem to take out a few hundred million brain beads, not to mention this small ransom, which was only ten million at most!
With the help of these people, she was more confident in getting the foundation stone of Cold Moon Tower.
The first matter was easily settled, which greatly boosted Yue qianhua’s confidence. This was her first time dealing with such a matter, and she quickly began to talk about the second matter.
as for the second matter, I hope that you can send out your elite cultivators to help us take the foundation stone of Cold Moon Tower.
Seeing that Tang Zhen’s expression still did not change, Yue qianhua secretly took a breath and continued, ” “Holy Dragon City has a geographical advantage and a strong Army. I believe that with your help, our chances of obtaining the building foundation will greatly increase!
As a reward, we can build you a level 5 tower in the rich land for free and give you the status of a servant of the elf race, receiving the protection of the elf race!”
Tang Zhen’s eyes slightly narrowed. When he looked at Yue qianhua, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps in the eyes of other weak races, becoming the servants of the elves and receiving their protection was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
Even if they were inferior to the elves, they were far nobler than the other weak races!
However, to Tang Zhen, there was no need to consider this kind of charity that carried a humiliating feeling.
No matter how one looked at it, the Holy Dragon City did not need the protection of other foreign tribes. On the contrary, as the Holy Dragon City continued to grow stronger, those foreign tribes would visit the Holy Dragon City and ask for its protection.
The alien Wanderers living in the commercial district and the swamp frogmen in Pearl Lake were the best proof!
Moreover, the development potential of a city built with the help of the elves could not be compared to that of the Holy Dragon City. At best, it was just an ordinary city.
If Tang Zhen were to agree to this, he would definitely have a problem with his head!
However, Tang Zhen did not directly reject him. Instead, he changed his method and cooperated with the fairy clan. He wanted to earn a sum of money from them first.
“I will never abandon Holy Dragon City. I’m not interested in being your servant!
I can help you kill the monsters and ice Imps, and I can even sell you some special weapons and equipment, but you have to pay the corresponding Commission.
We won’t get involved in snatching the foundation stone of the loucheng. Just rely on your own abilities!
As for the amount of Commission, we can slowly discuss this matter. What do you think?”
Tang Zhen picked up a cup of jade-green wine and gently took a sip as he spoke to Yue qianhua.
Yue qianhua’s crystal-like eyes flickered a few times and she slowly nodded.
The other party’s refusal to submit to the elf race was within Yue qianhua’s expectations. After all, the Holy Dragon City had great potential for development. Even though it was located in the wilderness, it was not affected too much.
It would be extremely unwise to give it up under such circumstances.
Yue qianhua’s original intention was to hope that the Holy Dragon City could help. As for asking them to submit to the elf race, it was just a means of negotiation. Even she did not believe that Tang Zhen would agree.
Now that the two matters were settled, it was time for the most important third matter.
Just as Yue qianhua mustered up her courage and was about to ask for the foundation stone of the mother tree tower, Tang Zhen’s expression turned cold. He stood up and spoke first, blocking Yue qianhua’s words.
