Chapter 771: Silk's Thoughts
"If it is really the elves, I hope that there will be no armed conflict between the two sides as much as possible."
Silk didn't say anything too absolute. Compared to the past, he is much more mature now, so naturally he wouldn't say anything too naive.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.
"Silk, you are now considered one of the elders of the Great Zhou. I have always valued and trusted you very much, so I can tell you my thoughts directly."
"I will go to the Basin Forest first to contact them. If they are willing to join our Great Zhou and become a member of our Great Zhou, that would be great."
"Of course, if they don't want to, I won't force them. You have been my personal guard captain for these years. You know me well. I always keep my word."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Silk's face was filled with gratitude.
I am grateful for their Majesty's trust in me and for the promises they have made.
Looking at Silk with an excited face, Zhou Xu gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"But Silk, I hope you can give me a definite answer. Accidents are inevitable when both parties are in contact and get along with each other for a long time. If a conflict occurs and a contradiction is triggered, I want to know your position and thoughts."
Faced with this question, Silk originally thought he would hesitate, but the facts were completely beyond his expectations.
Without even a second of hesitation, Silk's firm voice soon rang out.
"I will never forget that I am a citizen of the Great Zhou. I will naturally stand on the side of our Great Zhou!"
After all, other elves are of the same race to Silk, so he will have some emotional bias towards them, especially at a time when the population of their elven tribe is decreasing.
But does he have no feelings for the Great Zhou?
Of course not! It is no exaggeration to say that Silk's feelings towards the Great Zhou are far greater than those of the elves he has never met.
To give a simple example, those elves whom he has never met are like relatives whom he may not see once a year.
There is definitely some relationship between them, but it is unrealistic to say how deep the feelings are.
On the other hand, Da Zhou was like a close friend with whom he spent every day and night. It was obvious which side he had a better relationship with. Zhou Xu was very satisfied with Silk's answer.
Of course, Zhou Xu did not lie. If the people on the other side were really elves, and you wanted them to serve you sincerely, you must not resort to force.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed. It requires enough patience and taking it step by step.
After making some simple arrangements, Zhou Xu, along with his personal guards led by Silk, rushed to Green Forest City as quickly as possible and made subsequent arrangements.
After receiving the order, the team from Green Forest City took action again. Zhou Xu, Silk and others also followed the team and came to the outskirts of the basin forest.
This time they didn't get close to him easily and kept a safe distance. Silk took off his helmet and walked out of the crowd.
During this time, several figures hiding in the forest couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?" after seeing Silk.
Before they could think about it, Silk's voice rang out...
"Are the friends on the other side elves? I am Silk from the elf tribe. We have no ill intentions! We just want to talk to you!"
After he finished shouting, about five or six seconds later, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.
Looking at that figure, everyone had strange expressions on their faces.
That handsome face and pointed ears basically declared his identity as an elf.
However, the other party's appearance was not exactly the same as Silk's and the others'. The elf in front of him had dark green hair and brown eyes.
Zhou Xu was not too surprised by this. Humans also have various races, hair colors and eye colors. Now that this situation has happened to the elves, how can it be considered a surprise? At this moment, the identity of the other party was completely confirmed, and the guards headed by Silk were all excited.
Seeing that the other party was willing to talk, Silk took off the silver-steel sword at his waist without saying a word to show his sincerity, and then walked towards the other party with empty hands.
Seeing Silk's actions, the strange elf who walked out of the forest reduced his vigilance a little, but his tone was still not polite.
"Tell me your purpose!"
If only Silk and his group came, he might have a better attitude because they were of the same race.
But there were also many humans who came with them, which made the strange elf suspicious of their purpose.
Zhou Xu and his colleagues had actually thought about this problem.
However, the exploration team from Green Forest City had been exposed long before, and the other side was not stupid. It was impossible for them to only send Silk and others this time and think that there was no relationship between them. It would be better to be frank from the beginning.
Faced with this attitude, Silk was not angry. Instead, he looked sincere and explained what happened before.
"We come from a country called 'Da Zhou'. Our city is on the other side. Some time ago, our exploration team went out to explore and accidentally discovered this place."
Silk's attitude and those words made the strange elf on the opposite side relax a little. Silk seized the opportunity and asked the other party's name.
"My name is Silk, what's your name?"
"Sion, the wood elf Sion."
【Wood Elf】
Silk obviously had never heard of this term, but it was not surprising.
Just like they are prairie elves, this was not a name that existed at the beginning.
Originally, the elves were collectively known as "elves", but with the outbreak of the war and the destruction of the old civilization, the surviving elves scattered all over the world, and over time, various names were born.
To put it bluntly, the reason why they call themselves grassland elves is simply because their tribe has lived on the grassland all year round.
The other party's name "Wood Elf" is probably similar.
Anyway, being able to know each other's names is a good start.
"Sir Sean, I am here on behalf of our Great Zhou, hoping to make friends with you, and in the days to come, I hope that both sides can live in peace, help each other, and prosper together."
There are several statements here that were undoubtedly taught by their Majesty.
Silk is not a fool, it is impossible for him to ask the other party to join the Great Zhou right away.
The other party will definitely not agree, and once these words are spoken, there will be no more room for negotiation.
When Sean heard this, he said without thinking...
"As long as you stay away from here, we can live in peace."
