After saying that he was still considering it, Ron realized that he had lost his composure.
Mang Shi said, "Your Majesty should indeed consider this carefully. However, Your Majesty's previous intention should have been to agree. Why did you change your mind when it came to cooperating with the major powers?"
Ron silently reminded himself, "Stay calm, stay calm!!"
The main issue is that the Elf Queen's tone changed abruptly earlier, giving the impression of being inconsistent.
But then the Empress revealed her hidden worries!
"It all comes down to strength!"
"To be honest, human lord, my elven race is short of legendary elders. Without a legendary elven elder to lead the cooperative delegations sent to various powers, how could I dare... especially..."
The way he looked at Ron was clearly a sign that Ron's previous remarks about how bad humans were had affected him.
"This... is indeed something we should consider."
Ron used rhetoric to cover up the stone he had lifted!
"How about this? There is a God of Contracts in the world. We can have the legends of various powers establish magical contracts to protect the Elven race for decades or even centuries. The level of cooperation will vary depending on the duration of the protection."
"I believe that this will make your elven envoys safer when they go out."
"That's true... just as the human lord said."
Ron was slightly taken aback.
That's settled!
It used to happen repeatedly.
"What's wrong, Lord Sandy..."
"No, it's nothing, let's move on to the next topic..."
"..."
"..."
Although Ron was the one who came up with most of the ideas, he always felt that he didn't actually have the initiative.
No matter how good the idea is, the Elf Queen can always find a flaw.
Later in the agenda, the Elf Queen's side came up with even more novel ideas.
Before Ron realized it, he felt that he had made the right decision to come.
The wisdom of the elves is indispensable.
As for his own lack of thorough consideration, isn't that normal? His years in this world.
Fifteen!
In the original world, it was already quite rare for someone of this age to be able to have a serious conversation with the Elf Queen.
Ron's years in the world of Guth were only a fraction of the Elf Queen's, mainly serving to offer slight guidance to those from different worlds with their wildly imaginative ideas.
After that, these professionals will do a better and more effective job than Ron!
That's fine too. I wasn't jealous of anyone's talent, it's just that... I can be lazy now.
The life of a lazy lord seems to be beckoning to Ron.
Hehe, secretly laughing... ヽ(??▽?)ノ
...
The meeting agenda eventually came to an end. Once outside, Ron simply gave a general direction, leaving the specific details to be studied by both sides, with most of the participants merely listening in.
That's a pity; I should have brought Nika along.
These days, Nika, the descendant of the fox clan, truly deserves the title of the orcish empire's national advisor clan.
For three days in a row!
With the last controversial issue resolved, it was time to begin implementing all the other issues.
Inside the main hall, Ron, who had been half-asleep, awoke.
"Young master, young master..."
It was that familiar maid's voice!
"Is it over?"
"Young Master, it's over."
"oh!"
"They're all watching!"
"Oh! I'm sorry, I agree to all your specific plans. As for the leader going to the Carlo Magic Empire? Some forces want Sandy's delegation to cooperate... I agree to all of that."
"By the way, Vivian, Rita, do you have any records?"
Unbeknownst to her, Rita's assistant had performed her duties exceptionally well, leaving no important tasks unattended, especially those that Sandy could do within her capabilities.
An angel, human in form and wielding feathers, connected with an elven assistant, exchanging documents and confirming backups—scene after scene that outsiders could hardly believe. This was an angel!
He smiled slightly.
"Alright, let's head back now."
Ron rose, while the Elf Queen had already risen and was leading her entourage. Ron said to the Queen, "If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, we will return now. Also, everything about your people is very good, and I will miss it."
"Lord Sandy, you will always be a friend of my people."
The empress actually bowed to him!
That's going too far.
Ron quickly lowered his head even further, and besides, he didn't seem to have put in much effort.
I always feel embarrassed.
The members of both sides stood up, and the Queen's smiling face was no longer directed at Vivian, but at Ron.
Ron smiled indifferently and turned away.
He left after accomplishing his task, concealing his merits... well, he probably still left his name behind.
Why would the various elven delegations travel all over the continent at that time? Ron had no choice but to become famous again.
People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat!
Lately, I absolutely must stay close to Rita or the legendary mentor. Hmm! My life is more important.
Goodbye, you should hurry back home.
Unbeknownst to me, my paranoia was starting to worsen.
If I don't leave the territory until I reach the Master level, then surely I can catch you with a Master-level spatial magic spell?
Great idea, not bad.
Inside the main hall.
Princess Hera felt a pang of sadness. They're all gone.
Disloyal! None of them took me, the princess, with them!!!
Afterwards, the Queen Mother might punish her!
"Little daughter, what are you looking at! Aren't you going to see off our clansmen?"
A moment later, the elven princess's voice came from outside: "Ron, why are you running so fast!"
"..."
It seems like things are getting a bit chaotic outside.
Inside the main hall, after the elven princess left, Elder Chris, who was still standing nearby, asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Ron...?"
"Indeed, they should be the ones to bless us, but why is it that my elven race is..."
Why are there so few people like this... that's my general thought.
Elder Chris, however, said, "No, these little people are all unreliable. In the future, our clan's Hera will surely be able to..."
"Alright, don't I know my daughter already?"
There was a brief silence inside the main hall.
A short while later, the Elf Queen Siri said, "Chris, you should go too!"
"Among the delegations, there must be a few with legendary elders. You can go to Sandy Territory with them. The selection of delegation members will be decided by you, Elder."
"By imperial decree, Your Majesty."
The real matter is that, as a legendary elder, Chris still respects the Elf Queen.
On the other hand, once humans entered the legendary realm, many small human kingdoms treated them like royalty.
Strength is everything, but not the only thing; at least in this respect, the Elven race has always been commendable.
Back at the Elf Academy, Ron received even more gifts, which he then placed into the small tower's spatial ring.
Ron was unusually patient as he watched this scene unfold.
Little elves, the art of the world, are mostly simple and beautiful, and it's hard to bear destroying them. And aren't the students of the elf academy behind us the same?
Looking back, when he enrolled in the Gus World... the white glove incident, the noble duels, even in the gifted class, the unspoken rules still existed in the first year...
Despite being from different tribes and living in a secluded barrier, there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.
It's a pity, Ron really doesn't want to get up early to go to school anymore!
Skipping class is too much of a priority!
"Tabitha, aren't we going back together?"
"Ron, do you remember? It's six months from now, the centennial birthday of the Magic Queen Carol!"
"Um, let me think about it!"
"His grand plan to survive until he reaches the Master level is needless to say! He did agree to it before, but things have changed, haven't they? The Elven race agreed too readily, so it's not good to hide their identity now."
I had initially thought that given the elves' slow and methodical approach, it was normal for them to take years to complete tasks, but...
This is truly recorded in various biographies. Elves are long-lived and meticulous in their work. Who would have thought that Ron was probably only doing this on one of the three days?
One sentence: 'The sooner the better!'
That's right...
Forget it, the situation has changed. Within six months, the whole mainland will know. If we don't compromise now, when will we?
"Ron, do you dare not go? Your invitation has already been sent. Do you want our two countries to go to war?"
"What, Tabitha, you..."
"What do you mean, 'what ...!"
Tabitha gave a playful, almost rude smile, and refrained from sticking out her tongue, whereas Princess Heila would have!
Just as she was thinking this, Sheila stuck out her tongue and smiled as she lowered her eyelids.
"Ron, you deserve to be in trouble!"
Both girls returned to the academy.
Ron was helpless.
His grand plan for survival has always been fraught with setbacks since his reincarnation. Why? Why?
Well, since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it. I'll just have to figure out how to keep a low profile...
My brain feels like it's going to explode.
"Young Master..."
"It's nothing, I'm going back."
Despite facing his little maid, Ron remained calm and smiled, as if nothing was wrong, and that even if the sky fell, the tall ones would still hold it up.
Because of Tabitha's last words, Ron was always in a bad mood when he returned home.
Fortunately, the environment within the Elven territory was quite nice, which improved my mood somewhat.
When they exited the barrier, Elder Chris returned.
Ron pretended not to see it and didn't ask why he was late. Anyway, the Elven race would have a legendary elder escort him back. In the treaty they came from, Elder Chris was still the one who escorted him back, so it was only natural.
After several transfers and months of separation, they finally returned to Sandi territory.
