Chapter 211: Meeting (Part 1)
Freya, the goddess of the Kingdom of Autumn, is now standing opposite Richard.
Her bright eyes are like the moon, her rosy lips adorn her delicate face, her soft black hair flutters in the wind, and her beautiful red dress wraps her perfect figure. She is a gorgeous and peerless beauty. Her heroic figure, noble and beautiful make Richard's heart itchy. He has already made up his mind to ravage her and show this beauty in another form.
"Please forgive my subordinates' rudeness. I am Freya, the harvest goddess of the autumn moon."
Richard came back to his senses and responded with a smile without hearing what she just said. Diluka saw Richard's reaction out of the corner of her eye and replied, "Sister Freya, we don't mind what happened just now. I believe it was not your instruction."
"Diluka... It's been a long time since we last met. I feel relieved to see you like this."
Diluka pursed her lower lip: "Sister Freya... I'm sorry, I..."
Freya waved her hand and said, "Diluka, there's no need to say anything, because I will end this war as soon as possible, and then we will have a lot of time to chat together."
Confidence. But what kind of capital gives you this confidence? Richard looked at Freya with interest.
Freya turned her head and glanced at her soldiers. The soldiers looked nervous and held their weapons tightly in their hands. Freya smiled gently and looked at Richard: "The demons destroyed their homeland, so they are extremely hostile to you. I hope you don't mind, Richard."
"Oh? You know my name."
"Well, you are a celebrity in this land."
Richard smiled: "I don't care about the hostility of these soldiers, but you seem to have a different attitude from them."
Freya still had a gentle smile on her face and said: "I heard about what you did in the other three countries. I think your goal is to rule this continent rather than destroy it, so I think there is a possibility of reconciliation between us."
"Reconciliation?" Richard's expression became strange. "Reconciliation with a foreign invader who invaded your country?"
Freya's expression did not change, and her answer became more and more firm: "This has nothing to do with race. Whether it is the gods, the human race or your demon race, as long as the language is common, everything can be reconciled. Of course, if the negotiations fail, we Fluke are not afraid of any war."
War? We are even less afraid. Richard half-closed his eyes and asked: "I want to confirm that what you just said about reconciliation is true?"
"Yes, I don't like to joke."
Freya smiled and answered Richard calmly. Diluka nodded to prove that Freya's answer was true.
Richard felt a little unhappy in his heart. Is it the goddess's universal love? Kindness across races. This was extremely uncomfortable for Richard, who had always lived in a world of intrigue, lies and exploitation. This discomfort further stimulated Richard's desire to conquer.
While Richard was daydreaming, Freya clapped her hands on her chest and said, "I have a proposal here. How about we have a meeting?"
"Talks?"
"Yes, the reason why I want to meet you here today is for this. Because if there is no dialogue and the two sides go to war directly, it would be too sad. No matter what kind of opponent, what kind of hatred, they should sit down and talk on the West Coast."
Richard didn't know what to say. He sang praises of peace to the opponents who were about to destroy each other and took the initiative to propose communication. He deserved to be called a goddess.
Seeing that Richard did not answer, Freya pressed on, "So, Richard, do you want to agree to the meeting with the goddess, or do you want to cancel it?"
Richard thought for a moment and agreed to her request. On the one hand, he was trying to get information about Fluke from the meeting, and on the other hand, Richard wanted to hear what Freya would say. As for peace, Richard did not have this vision.
"Great."
Freya happily extended her hand, Richard shook it, and put forward a condition.
"I agree to your proposal, but we have to decide the venue for the negotiation. Although I believe in your desire for peace, your soldiers do not. They can disobey your orders here. If they run to your territory and carry out the river beach, who knows what will happen."
"No problem, you are right, are there any other conditions?"
Richard pinched his chin and thought for a while: "No for now, if there is, just tell me on the day of the meeting."
Freya nodded gently: "Okay, I will tell my subordinates that from now on until our talks break down, you are all my guests. As long as you do not violate Fluke's laws, our people will never take action against you. In addition, you can tell me if you need anything, because you are our important guest now."
Richard and Freya talked again, and the communication about other aspects made the people around them constantly praise. Even Primadis showed admiration in his eyes.
"Then goodbye. We'll see each other again on the day of the meeting. I'm really looking forward to that day."
Freya left, and she didn't stop smiling until the very end. She walked with graceful steps, and the golden rice under the setting sun was very beautiful.
On the way back, Richard was thinking about how to subdue Freya, while the others were in a daze.
Diluka was a little confused, so she flew over and passed her divine power to Richard. Richard was startled and regained consciousness. After a long while, Richard finally reacted to what happened before, and his expression became serious. Diluka passed the divine power to others, and the others gradually regained consciousness.
Primadis was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat: "What happened?"
Richard said slowly: "This is also a kind of charm...but this kind of charm is much more advanced than the Silver Wolf. This kind of charm affects your thinking and judgment when you are not aware of it, making you less vigilant against her and slowly agree with what she said. Fortunately, Diluka discovered our abnormality. If she hadn't discovered it, the consequences would be disastrous during the negotiation. Thank you very much today, Diluka."
Diluka shook her head: "I just did what I should do, but I don't think Sister Freya would do this deliberately. She has always been kind."
Richard did not comment, and Primadis asked: "Then will the negotiation proceed?"
"Of course."
"Where should we choose the location?"
Richard thought for a moment and said, "The empty canyon where Fluke and Gretz meet, close to our side."
