Nika felt helpless after hearing Ron's last words; the lord remained unchanged.
Well, it's rare for the lord to trust me so much. I'll go back tonight and refine all the details.
After all, it's just a short meeting. If we work together to improve things, there's still a lot to discuss tomorrow. And how will Nika deal with the difficult questions from the other countries?
It's hard to guarantee that no one will deliberately make things difficult for you!
Various contingency plans and countermeasures, etc.
As Nika pondered this, she gradually returned to her residence.
Early the next morning.
Nika began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
I didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning, but I woke up earlier than everyone else the next day.
She first sent her men to inform the lord: "Since the lord is not attending the meeting today, all countries may send representatives!"
This is a detail to avoid an awkward situation where Sera Legends arrives in person but Ron isn't there.
However, since Ron is the Pope, even if there is a chance of such a situation, it can be barely handled. Of course, it is best to avoid such a rude situation.
After giving the instructions, Nika called over a guard outside the door: "Go and inform the envoy from the capital that he hopes to attend today's meeting."
Lord Ron did not give any instructions, but Nika had to take care of the relationship with the capital and the agreements with the four great empires, and she must not leave the capital's envoys standing by.
All the formalities were observed, and Nika even added that she should ask the guard who sent the notification to be polite on the spot.
After finishing these tasks, Nika quickly ate breakfast and arrived at the meeting venue ahead of everyone else.
The venue was arranged as follows: the host Sandy Territory members sat here, the envoys from the Gir Kingdom were seated, and the possible guard arrangements for representatives from various countries were also arranged.
Okay, that's about it.
Nika asked the guard again: Has the magic crystal carriage arrived yet?
Once all of this was done, Nika finally sat down in the host's seat with an air of nonchalance.
She then took out the documents she had discussed with the lord the day before. What place should she talk about first?
By the way, Lord, you haven't explained the specific security arrangements for developing the floating city. Perhaps we could leave our suggestion to you on-site: we could build a church on the floating city. With the power of the Church there, the others should have fewer objections.
Okay, we can start with this, and there's more...
Nika, the fox spirit, was lost in thought... and time was slowly passing by.
Finally, as noon approached, each country had arranged its envoys of appropriate rank, and with the six parties seated, the conference officially began.
The six directions include the four great empires, the capital of Gil, and the territory of Sandy.
After everyone took their places, Nika looked around and, as expected, did not see Sera Legend. Instead, she saw a court lady.
The situation was different for the other three empires. Marquis Andrew, who was by the side of the prince, came to the Rich Dragon Rider Empire, but Prince Field of Rich did not come.
A male nobleman from the Baron Swordsman Empire arrived, looking rather young, while the Orc Empire sent an elderly tiger-clan member who, judging by his attire, was likely a shaman from the Orc Empire.
The ministers in the capital of Gil were middle-aged nobles of the kingdom, like Andrew. If the information is correct, this envoy from their own country should be Marquis Valentine Forney, and this envoy from the capital is a member of the prince's faction.
This time, the Orc Empire's response was somewhat unexpected. Nika had expected an Orc prophet, also known as a sage, to arrive. However, the most famous Orc sage was Lady Heloy of the Fox Clan, who belonged to the faction aligned with the Empire's Queen.
The Orc Empire must have been considering her own interests! Nika's fox tribe and its affiliated sub-tribes were driven away by the current fox queen.
As the tribe grew larger, conflicts arose between the former queen's faction and the current queen's faction. However, what remained the same was that the queens of the Orc Empire had always been of the fox clan, the imperial clan.
Nika still has to thank that fellow tribesman for now, but if she has the chance to embarrass the Queen of the Orc Empire, Nika will still do it.
Because the arrival of the Orc Empire's envoy was unexpected, Nika felt that her previous work had been somewhat wasted, and that the remaining countries should have little opposition now!
Nika was relieved to not have to face the legend of Sera.
She looked around, her mind settling into a jumble of thoughts.
Suddenly, Nika spoke up: "Everyone, let's begin!"
"..."
"..."
The discussion continues.
They talked from noon until evening.
In addition to fulfilling Ron's requests, Nika negotiated several more collaborations.
Additional collaborations include gifting a Magic Watch, along with a long-distance teleportation array and an advanced version of the Magic Scripture Book.
This was primarily a gift of a magical watch, intended to kick off the era of elven-made luxury goods.
What's free is often the most expensive. Nika explicitly stated that the magic watches she gave away were gifts for royal families from various countries.
To show her sincerity, Nika even took off her magic watch at the meeting.
After the incantation, a wondrous rhythm of tranquility pervades the mind.
After listening, the envoys were silent for a while, and when they looked at the elven artwork in their hands, they were all amazed!
The smaller the magical artifact, the higher the precision required. Everyone present was knowledgeable about this, and with Nika's guidance, they quickly understood the value of the magical watch.
And what's that included?! It's an advanced version of the Demonic Scripture and all that!
It subconsciously gives people the illusion of similar value.
Related magical reports and long-distance teleportation arrays are inherently difficult to measure in terms of the value of magic crystals alone.
Actually, that's not the case. Luxury goods are primarily about selling the brand, and the status, power, and so on that the brand represents.
Elf Products, manufactured by Gassandi, the brand is beginning to take shape.
At the meeting, Nika first stated that Sandy's Elf-made magic watch could be exchanged for a starting price of 100 high-grade magic crystals or even top-grade magic crystals, and that envoys from various countries could consider purchasing it later.
A hundred high-level magic crystals are equivalent to a million low-level magic crystals. A single magic watch starts at a million. The envoys looked at each other, as if these magic creations only had Tranquility Magic and nothing else.
However, the magical watches that were given as gifts will still end up in the hands of the royal family. It's just a matter of whether the royal family will buy them in the future.
This additional cooperation is just one aspect. Nika also requested that, if the other envoys run out of Phantom Legacy in their respective countries, the Phantom Stones could be left to Sandy Territory at a negotiable price. Sandy Territory also has some of its magic crystal vehicle production workshops outsourced...
Upon hearing about the Magic Crystal Car production project, these envoys became very enthusiastic.
In its past, the automotive industry was large enough to support millions of workers in related industries. A single car model, along with associated tires, parts, and so on, was incredibly diverse and extensive. When referring to a country, phrases like "a powerful automotive nation" were used. The flying magic crystal cars in the sky—what did they signify? As time passed, the envoys long ago understood!
It should be noted that the only areas where technology can be exchanged without many conditions are military applications, but what about civilian magic crystal cars?
The high-end civilian magic crystal vehicle, with its various exquisite aristocratic designs, is completely different from the magic crystal war vehicle.
Moreover, it's hard to guarantee that Sandy's side won't hold back, so deepening cooperation is still necessary. On the spot, these envoys expressed that they would keep an eye on the Phantom Legacy for Sandy's side.
I'll just keep an eye out for it; we'll talk about the specifics later.
In addition, Nika also secured additional collaborations in swordsmanship instruction and magic instruction.
Sandy Floating University City is in place, but the teaching must be top-notch on the continent. So Nika made a request on the spot, hoping that all the empires would provide more support.
If these empires simply follow the requirements, wouldn't Sandy Territory's divine magic, divine arts, divine numerology and script, papal secrets, magical theories, magical machine inheritance... all of these things then have a chance?
As long as you send your students to my Sandy territory, they will study!
It's also the first floating university city on the Oran Continent, so it definitely has the style. I don't believe the top students from all the empires won't come.
To prevent the Empire from intervening to prevent the flow of talent, Nika also explained that Sandy University City only provides education, and students are free to stay or leave after graduation.
...
...
Whether it was additional cooperation or the implementation of various details, the envoys from different countries witnessed Nika's capabilities after this meeting!
No wonder Sandy's understanding has developed so well; this fox-woman head steward definitely deserves some credit.
After the meeting, envoys from various empires extended invitations, but Nika declined them all.
What can compare to the great Sandy Territory? ＜(￣︶￣)＞
Nika smiled and declined, yet a unique pride clung to her; after all, she was the head steward of Sandy Territory!
The tiger-man shaman of the Orc Empire even said: If Nika returns to the country, he will advise the king to establish a new queen... Nika walked two steps faster in disgust.
However, the lady-in-waiting from the Carlo envoy did not extend an invitation to Nika. During the meeting, Lady-in-waiting Mathieu focused on taking notes and rarely spoke. Whenever Nika successfully negotiated cooperation with one of the other three great empires, she would politely say, "I will speak with the master. Please wait for me, Lady-in-waiting Nika..."
Perhaps it was because the female official's status was too low!
The female official's words and actions reminded Nika that she had told the others at the meeting that they could use the magic report to reconfirm their cooperation.
A preliminary record was made, and then reviewed by high-ranking officials from various countries…
They've reviewed it; perhaps there will be further cooperation.
I'm going to be busy from now on.
Nika sighed softly. That's enough for now. I need to clear my head; there's still work to do back home…
