Chapter 777 Meeting (Part 2)
After exiting the canyon, the area between this side and the forest is basically an open space with a very wide view.
The wood elves, led by Locke, noticed it as soon as they left the canyon.
"Your Majesty, the wood elf holding a wooden staff is Locke, the chief of the wood elves."
Hearing Silk's reminder, Zhou Xu nodded. In order to show his sincerity in the conversation, he dismounted and rushed towards the other party. The elf knights led by Silk also dismounted and followed.
As he got closer, Zhou Xu's eyes naturally fell on the other person and he was sizing him up.
From Silk's previous description, he had a rough understanding of the state of the wood elves.
But after seeing it with my own eyes, the feeling was quite different.
There was basically nothing much to say about the elves' appearance. Silk had already told him about the differences in hair and eye color when he was reporting.
In addition, the skin color is also different.
This is probably because the wood elves live in the depths of the forest all year round. Therefore, unlike the grassland elves whose skin is wheat-colored, their skin color appears much whiter. Even in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is a little too pale, as if they have not been exposed to enough sun.
As for clothing, they basically wear coarse linen clothes, and some wood elves also wear simple light armor made of wood or vines.
From head to toe, Zhou Xu's gaze finally fell on the pairs of bare feet.
It was somewhat unexpected, but after the surprise, he was able to understand it.
For wood elves who live in the forest and have to climb trees from time to time, bare feet are probably more flexible and have better grip.
Without looking at it for long, Zhou Xu's eyes basically swept across and then quickly returned to the face of Patriarch Locke.
"I guess this is Patriarch Locke."
"Yes, I am Locke, the chief of the wood elves."
"I am Zhou Xu, the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou. Thank you for coming to this interview."
Zhou Xu spoke sincerely and showed his utmost sincerity for the conversation between the two sides.
"It's such a coincidence that we both arrived here at about the same time."
Hearing this, the wood elves, led by Locke, couldn't help but tap their toes on the ground at the same time.
Even though Locke was not young, his face turned red when he heard this, and he secretly swore in his heart that this matter must not be exposed.
Zhou Xu noticed something strange about the wood elves, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Chief Locke, let's go over there and talk."
While Zhou Xu was speaking, Silk and the others had already taken down the set of folding tables and chairs they had brought over and set them up over there.
At first the wood elves were wondering what they were busy with, until they saw them suddenly stretch out the wooden boards in their hands and turn them into ready-made tables and chairs, then they exclaimed in surprise.
Not to mention the wood elves who had never seen such utensils before, even within their own Great Zhou, when these folding furniture were first launched, they caused a sensation and attracted countless people to rush to buy them.
Especially those who still live in the dormitories, the grabbing was even more crazy.
Because their dormitory is small, these folding furniture can be folded up and put aside when not in use, making their limited living space much more spacious.
It is considered an important commodity that Zhou Xu has used in the near future to boost economic consumption within their Great Zhou.
"Please take a seat, Patriarch Locke."
Zhou Xu stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.
In addition to the folding mechanism, the design of this folding chair also has a unique curve when unfolded, which can effectively fit the body shape and improve comfort.
As soon as Locke sat down, the comfort he felt immediately made him like this chair.
But what they are talking about now is obviously not about this chair.
"Then let's get started now."
Without further ado, Zhou Xu got straight to the point and talked to Locke about their alliance.
The first thing to discuss is some basic agreements such as mutual help.
Zhou Xu has always been sincere in this type of agreement, and the terms of the agreement are basically reasonable, making this meeting between the two parties very pleasant.
After discussing the terms of the agreement, the next step is undoubtedly to discuss how to implement it specifically.
Regarding this point, Zhou Xu has obviously sorted out his thoughts.
"Exchange visit?"
“Yes, an exchange visit!”
Locke obviously did not understand the meaning of this unfamiliar word. Zhou Xu, noticing this, quickly explained it.
"To put it simply, both sides will send some people, or even ourselves, to live in each other's territory for a period of time to experience each other's lives and get to know each other more deeply. This way, we can better learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and help each other develop."
"I see."
As the patriarch of the clan, Locke was still somewhat smart. After Zhou Xu's explanation, he quickly figured out the matter and also understood Zhou Xu's thinking.
"Yes, I agree to this exchange and learning."
Later, Zhou Xu talked to Locke about some details of the agreement.
During the whole process, Zhou Xu and Locke were very engaged in the conversation about their cooperation.
During this period, as Zhou Xu's personal guards, the elven knights led by Silk continued to perform their duties conscientiously. Each of them stood in a scattered position and watched every move around them.
In contrast, the wood elves brought by Locke were in a much more casual situation.
Perhaps it was because they had always lived in the forest. After leaving the shelter of the forest, they were not able to adapt to the lack of lush bushes and towering trees around them, and they all felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Only Sean was staring at Silk standing there the whole time, his expression changing constantly, and his thoughts were basically written all over his face.
As the captain of the personal guard team, Silk, who had been paying attention to the surrounding situation, naturally noticed the other party's gaze, but he pretended not to see it.
Now that Chief Locke was willing to come out for a meeting and reach an alliance with their Great Zhou, his goal had been achieved and there was no need to create more trouble for himself.
But Sion had no intention of letting Silk go.
After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and walked up to Silk.
This action immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Fight me again."
Sean said this with a look of determination on his face.
Silk glanced at him but didn't respond.
“That’s not necessary.”
Sean became anxious when he heard this.
"I didn't use my full strength last time, let's fight with all our strength this time!"
“…”
