The Death List Novel - Chapter 676
Chapter 676 Mission Accomplished
“Are you leaving? Are you in such a hurry?” Elaszo reclined on a large chair and gently rubbed his swollen temples.
Ever since the assassination last night, she had been accompanying the Lords of the Alliance’s major city-states in the conference room. The meeting didn’t end until the afternoon of the next day. He had just eaten something and wanted to take a rest. He didn’t expect Qin Lun to come over to say goodbye.
The assassination had greatly stimulated the Silvermoon Lords. Although the intense discussions in the conference room had not yet touched on the specific aspects of federation establishment, such as military affairs, government affairs, taxation, production, and so on, there was no longer any objection from the Lords to the establishment of a unified federation.
In fact, all of the Silvermoon Lords, including the previous opponents, or the neutral city-states, knew that the Silvermoon Federation was unstoppable. They had been dragging their feet, all they wanted to do was to obtain better conditions on Elaszo’s side and gain more benefits for their city and their people.
However, this assassination was like a loud slap in the face that woke them up. Since Santalin would be able to cause trouble in Silvermoon City without any scruples, and even a divine elect like Elaszo would dare to assassinate him, then they were nothing.
If they dragged on, Santalin might try to use them to start a civil war with Silvermoon City next time. Regardless of whether Santalin would succeed or not, the gains and losses of the major city-states would outweigh the losses.
“Yes, City Lord. The crisis in Silvermoon City has been resolved. We should take our leave now.” Qin Lun said gently with a smile on his face. However, his tone was very firm, making it clear that he was not speaking politely.
Elaszo did not reply immediately and looked at him doubtfully. From Silvermoon City Lord’s point of view, Qin Lun’s current performance was somewhat abnormal. Silver-haired elf’s arrival at Silvermoon City to help the alliance was clearly not for impartiality, but for a specific purpose. He hoped that the Silvermoon Federation and Royal Court of Shining Moon would form an alliance in the future.
In fact, this point was also mentioned at the lord’s meeting last night. Although some Lords objected to the alliance, believing that helping Anke Fairy Court, which was currently expanding wildly, would arouse hostility from the human countries in the south-central continent and adversely affect the Silvermoon Alliance, most Lords still left the final decision to Elaszo.
Elaszo himself, both public and private, had basically approved of the alliance with Anke Fairy Court.
Silvermoon City Lord understood very well that the Silvermoon Alliance was located in the northern plains of the continent, while Royal Court of Shining Moon, which would integrate the various Southern Fairy Tribes in the future, was located in the middle and south of the continent, separated by several human kingdoms.
In the event of war between Anke Fairy Court and the human kingdoms of the south-central region, such as Kalinshan, Tyser, Shaya, and Jondas, the Silvermoon Alliance would not be able to help because there were still several human forces between them.
On the contrary, if the Silvermoon Alliance fought against Absolute Winter City, Deepwater City, and Santalin, the future Royal Court of Shining Moon wouldn’t be able to help either. Their alliance is about strategic deterrence, a moral support.
Of course, there were many times when such support would not necessarily be inferior to direct military support. It is always reassuring to have a strong ally on the same side, at least not to be blackmailed by the enemy’s diplomacy, unless the enemy insists on waging war regardless.
In this way, Qin Lun’s behavior would inevitably seem a little strange. At the very least, Elaszo felt that he should stay. The alliance between the two countries was no small matter. There were many details that needed to be discussed, so she couldn’t negotiate directly with the Tyrannical Elf King!
Then, Elaszo suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and he chuckled, “Ferrari, you’re not planning on Lorraine, are you?”
“Your Excellency is truly wise. I can’t hide anything from you. I really plan to leave with Prince Lorraine!” Qin Lun pretended to smile bitterly and bowed slightly to apologize.
Elaszo lazily changed his posture, his wrist supporting his chin as his gaze flickered. He looked at Silver-haired elf in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The alliance between the Silvermoon Federation and Royal Court of Shining Moon was temporarily limited to a more fake strategic level. However, if Elves could form an alliance with Shield Dwarf and reach an agreement between King Tynequilas and King Bruno Warhammer of Dwarves, it would be more significant.
Because there was a huge mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers north of Anke Elves Court-the Snow Peak Mountain Range, where Lorraine lived. Dwarves was the ruler of this mountain range. The Snow Peak Castle, which had almost dug through the entire crack peak, was inhabited by hundreds of thousands of Snow Peak Dwarves.
If Bruno Warhammer agreed to form an alliance with Moon Elves and obtain the strength and resources of Snow Peak Fort, Royal Court of Shining Moon would not have to worry about the invasion of the surrounding human kingdoms in the future.
The partnership between Shield Dwarf and the Silvermoon Alliance had been going on for a long time. The envoy sent by King Dwarves this time was only for the purpose of participating in the Silvermoon Celebration. Last night’s help was temporary. Now that the celebration was over and Elaszo was busy discussing the establishment of the country with the City-State Lords, it was naturally not convenient for them to stay any longer.
On the other hand, Qin Lun was secretly urging Lorraine to leave Silvermoon City and take him to the Dwarves camp at the southern foot of the World Ridge. After the plot to sabotage the Santalin Society, Qin Lun and the others had little time left in Toril World.
If we don’t receive any other major storylines, we’ll have to return in another two to three days. Although he had already gained quite a bit, it would be a waste to not work hard on such a walking plot clue like Lorraine.
“Since you’ve already thought about it, I won’t ask you to stay any longer.” Elaszo came back to his senses and said with a smile, “But as a friend, let me remind you one thing.”
Bruno’s bull was a good friend, a great adventurer and warrior, but as a king it looked very different. If you want to win his friendship, remember to be frank and sincere at all times, rather than dealing with interests at stake. ”
Elaszo’s goodwill was doomed to be useless, because Qin Lun himself did not plan to meet King Shield Dwarf. He was doing this for the epic mission, not really caring about the future of Moon Elves.
“Thank you for your advice. Before I leave, there is one more thing I would like to ask of Lord City Lord.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. He took out a letter from his chest and handed it to the guard captain beside him. After pondering for a while, he said, “King Tynequilas ordered me to join the Japanese Elves Diplomatic Corps. However, something happened to me at Bird’s Gate and I was unable to reach Deepwater City.”
“This letter is about my adventures behind the Bird Gate, and it also includes matters related to Silvermoon City. Please send someone to Anke Elves Court to hand it over to King Tynequilas.”
‘”Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to deliver the letter to Anke Fairy Court,” Elaszo smiled as he received the letter from the head guard.
Seeing that Elaszo had agreed to deliver the letter, Qin Lun glanced at the death list and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly hid his emotions and said with a smile, “Then … Lord Elaszo, I’ll take my leave first!”
Qin Lun took out this letter not because he wanted to get along with King Tyranquilas, but because of the interactive storyline “Star-Moon Alliance”.
Even though Qin Lun had successfully completed his mission in this assassination attempt. However, he didn’t have much time left to stay, and he had to leave immediately for the sake of Lorraine’s Mithril storyline. As a result, the Silvermoon Alliance’s alliance with Anke Fairy Court would lose a middleman.
This letter from Qin Lun was a substitute. If the Silvermoon Alliance finally decided to form an alliance with Anke Fairy Court, Elaszo would naturally send an envoy to discuss the alliance. If the Silvermoon Alliance did not have this intention, then they would only be helping deliver the letter.
As for Anke Fairy Court, with King Tynequilas’ brilliance, as long as he saw Qin Lun’s letter, he would probably immediately understand what Silver-haired elf meant, and it would be up to Elf King to make his own decision.
Qin Lun was a little disappointed just now because he was hoping that when Elaszo received the letter, he would be able to give a verbal promise to the Star-Moon Alliance. This way, the Star-Moon Alliance’s second phase goal would be directly accomplished.
…
“Qin Lun, the Star-Moon Alliance’s plot still doesn’t have any hints. What did Elaszo say?” As soon as Qin Lun returned to his room, Rand and Hill looked up.
“You guys guessed correctly. As the head of a country, Elaszo’s mouth is very tight. He won’t give a promise easily.” Qin Lun sighed and said helplessly.
Qin Lun and the others were currently on two storyline missions. One was a plot by the Santalin Society. This was one of the branches of the epic storyline, the Silvermoon Alliance’s nation-building mission.
This mission had been completed after last night’s assassination. Qin Lun and the others had reached a very high completion rate. The only flaw was that the Centaur Lord was unable to save them and had already turned into a vegetable.
Although they were both epic plots, the plot of the Santalin Society was only a branch after all. The exploration of the world that Qin Lun and the others had obtained was not as great as the epic plot of the past, the Ancient Road.
Because of Filal Moonlight’s storyline identity, Kieran’s contribution rate was much higher than Rand and Hill’s, accounting for about half of the total and obtaining 0.015% of the world exploration rate. However, because the difficulty of this mission was not easy to calculate, the three of them did not have a basic reward. The World Exploration Reward would only be settled when they returned.
The other mission of the three of them was an interactive plot that had never existed in history. It was called the Star-Moon Alliance.
The mission objective of the Star-Moon Alliance was divided into three phases. After Elaszo publicly revealed Kieran’s storyline identity at the celebration and welcomed him, the first phase of the mission had been successfully completed.
As for the third stage, it was impossible to accomplish. The Silvermoon Alliance needed to conclude a formal contract with Anke Fairy Court, and Qin Lun and the others simply did not have the time to witness this scene.
The only hope for them was that before they returned, Elaszo and King Tynequilas would reach an oral agreement and have a chance to negotiate further. In this way, the three of them would complete the second phase and obtain a large amount of world exploration.
Although this mission wasn’t an epic plot, the rewards were very generous. Every time he reached the goal, he would have to reach a maximum of 20 Longevity Soul Points. As the leader, Qin Lun had even reached a maximum of 30 Longevity Soul Points. Naturally, he had to fight hard for it.
In fact, part of the reason Qin Lun wanted to receive the epic plot from Lorraine was to increase his stay and wait for the progress of the alliance between the two countries.
