The Dog Rider is the Demon King

The petite elves couldn't find a decent long negotiating table, so they hurriedly found a tree. This tree died of natural causes two days ago, and now it's lying on the ground.Two days ago, there was a moderate rain, and some small mushrooms sprouted under the thick trunk, and the fluffy-looking moss gradually spread from the grass, and gradually covered every uneven road on the trunk. protrusion.

There are even some light pink or light yellow wild flowers blooming sporadically, which are very beautiful.In the middle of the night, a few elves cut off some tangled branches from the trunk, and smoothed the cracks in the wood that had broken from the roots.It happened to be spring, and the roots of the trees that were still rooted in the ground even had slender branches that were still glowing with a faint turquoise.Small tender green leaves grow on the slender branches, as delicate as delicate jade ornaments, tremblingly shaking off the dew in the breeze.The dew fell to the ground, was instantly absorbed by the soft dark brown soil, and disappeared.

When the sun was high, Brent led a few people to the negotiating place on time. They did not advance or delay too much, leaving a little excuse for others.

Brent was sitting on the middle stump on their side, and Ron stood behind him, one hand on the hilt of his sword and the other on the scabbard.All eyes were on the strange elves around Brent, for fear that some elves would violently attack him.

Star was holding a wand in his hand, and he was wearing a magic robe issued by the Magician's Guild. The edges were embroidered with lightning-like patterns with silver threads and shiny purple threads.On his chest is a badge representing his status as an intermediate magician.Before they set off, Benjeta handed over the intermediate magician badge to Star, and patted him on the shoulder to express his expectations for him.

The badge of the intermediate magician was pulsating with the light of different magic elements, which looked much better than the gray badge of the junior magician on Wen Yi's chest.Brent did not accept the promotion test of the Magician's Union, so he was relatively idle and free.On Brent's chest was his blue crystal butterfly. Inside the butterfly was a stream of water that was constantly turning, with a faint silver brilliance flowing.

"Your Highness, let's get started." Seth cleared his throat, "About the cooperation between the two parties, do you have any other requests from Your Excellency?"

"The top priority at the moment must be your business. I don't know how long the elf mother tree's dormancy period will be?" Brent smiled slightly, and pushed the question back to Sass.

"But this may not be predictable in advance. According to the previous records, the shortest time is three to five years, and the longest time is several decades. There is really no fixed number, and I have no way to determine when I can get out of the dormant period."

"But if I can't get the exact time... I have no way to determine what to do, can I?" Brent spread his hands helplessly.

These overly blunt words really surprised Seth, and he kept thinking about the countermeasures in his heart. As a result, the scene became a little more embarrassing.However, in this embarrassing scene, Brent still looked calmly at the thick tree lying on the ground in front of him.The long eyelashes moved slightly, as if counting the criss-crossing wood grains on it.

If you look closely at Brent's eyes, you will find that his eyes are constantly focused on Seth. Now Seth is holding his hands together and constantly intertwined, frowning and looking at his fingers.Most of the other elves around looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Sass, waiting for Sass' response with hope.

Star and Wen Yi turned their heads to look at Brent. They didn't quite understand why Brent asked the soldiers to take the risk and go straight. Lost the trust of the elves on the opposite side and the idea of ​​wanting to cooperate.

But looking at the abnormally calm expression on Brent's face, it was difficult for Star to remind him, especially in such an embarrassing situation, it was even more difficult for him to directly say anything more damaging and angry, so he could only keep going. Remind him with eyes.It's a pity that Brent didn't notice Star's eyes at all, and all his attention was on Seth sitting directly opposite him.

It's not that Brent doesn't know that his behavior is very risky, but when he woke up from Ron's arms last night, he began to think about how to word it today.He knew very well that the rhythm of the whole thing was on their side, and they could control their steps to be bolder.What's more, if you speak out clearly, it will catch the Sas patriarch by surprise, and let them be led away by him in a panic.

I have to say that he is really like his father, the old King Berhot, in his insistence on going his own way.

"This……"

"The patriarch can rest assured that I have no other intentions. No matter how long the elf mother tree's dormancy period is, we will definitely do our best to protect the safety of the elves. Please don't doubt this, your Excellency the patriarch. We came to negotiate with real sincerity."

"Your Highness, please rest assured that the elves are not without the ability to protect themselves, and they will not use your country's defensive power too much. They only need to rely on your country's power when they are in danger, and they will never become Your country's burden." Seth twitched his eyebrows, and the expression on his face finally calmed down.

Brent raised his eyebrows and slandered: "Ha, the old man wants to get rid of us right now? Is it going too far? Don't you think you have the right to choose?"

"The patriarch is serious. How can the elves be a burden? I have already stated that we are full of sincerity. Naturally, we must protect the elves from the ground up. Ensuring the safety of the elves is the most important thing, isn't it? An elite squad is stationed near the forest to ensure that the forest of elves is impenetrable." Brent smiled and stretched out his hand to tap the tree trunk in front of him lightly, "It's not difficult to have a small squad. Please don't worry about it, Patriarch."

"This...then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient, and everything will be done according to His Highness's instructions." Seth seemed to be drained of strength, and raised his right wrist, but he did not touch his long eyebrows.

Then the two sides finalized some other details, but Sass has not spoken.Without a human being who had lived for hundreds of years to hold the battle, Brent kept talking more and more vigorously, and the final result was of course more beneficial to them.

They discussed until it was almost dusk, and the orange-red sunlight dyed the green leaves into a warm tone. Brent left the long negotiation table with his head up in satisfaction.But Seth was not in such a good mood, he reached out to stroke his long eyebrows from head to tail.

"Master Patriarch, look at this..." Bailey stood aside with an anxious expression on his face, the wings behind his back were waving quickly, even though he didn't know much about these twists and turns, he knew they had suffered a disadvantage this time.

"Is there any way, the little prince gave us a big blow when he came up, and told us clearly that we don't have any bargaining chips now, and it is simply impossible to snatch something from their hands. At least the other side gave us enough face , the stationed units are also far away from the forest of elves. At most, we just let us provide them with a piece of information. Even the most important part is involved. We can stay by ourselves. They will not participate in the intelligence collection work, which is already considered them The biggest concession. We have nothing, so we have to bow our heads if we want anything from others." Seth sighed, "Let's go, let's get through this period of time before we talk about it. The dormant period of the elf mother tree is the big deal. They also took it This is what makes you so unscrupulous.”

Brent on the other side was in a good mood, and his steps were much easier when he walked.

"We won today?" Ron was at a loss, completely unaware of what happened just now, so he asked Brent in a daze.

"Hmph, that old thing still wants to bully me when I'm young. There are several pitfalls waiting for me to jump in one sentence. My purpose is not their information, but to know where the elves they sent are, and by the way, know where they are. How to collect intelligence. By the way, I will take this opportunity to train a group of intelligence personnel. This is my purpose. Although we don’t have something like the elf mother tree that can be cheated, it is possible to collect information, hide ourselves, and organize information. It was acquired, so this has become my primary goal today."

"Aren't you afraid that the elves will attack us after the elf mother tree wakes up? This is too insidious." Ron swallowed.

"First of all, the elves have lost nearly half of their elves during this period of time, which can be said to be a serious injury. Now assuming that the elf mother tree can recover next year, it will take at least a few decades to return to its previous state. , even if our intelligence system had been formed at that time, its strength had improved a lot. Even if the elves wanted to counterattack, they had to weigh their best efforts. What's more, although the elves were constantly collecting information, they But I have almost never done information trafficking, so although my behavior seems excessive, the impact on the elves is not even as much as stationing a small team outside the forest of elves. After all, the stationed small team is actually a Surveillance and house arrest in a disguised form, but building our own intelligence network is not so excessive." Brent turned around, looked at Ron playfully and smiled, "If you say insidious and cunning, everyone is for themselves There is nothing that is incomprehensible for our future generations and our own people, and no one wants their country to be threatened too much. The so-called insidious and cunning are actually normal political methods, so don’t pay too much attention to them.”

"I……"

"Okay, don't worry about it, if you don't like it, don't touch it. It's nothing."

The pale orange sunlight gradually turned into a deep red, reflecting the surrounding trees as if they were burning.
