Castle of the Dead, main hall.
The main hall is a place that Li Ziyu rarely uses. After all, he doesn't have any ministers under him. When he meets Zhang Peng, Liu Xingxing, Batubu and others, he can just find a place to go. They are not outsiders, so there is no need to open such a formal main hall.
This time, special arrangements were made specifically for the Orc Empire delegation.
The hall is more than ten meters high. Looking up, there seems to be a sea of skeletons above the head. Those are not relief murals, but real undead. They seem to be trapped in the wall, swimming constantly, and from time to time they use their jumping soul fire to look at the delegation walking in below.
More than a dozen extremely thick white bone columns support the ceiling, on which there are a large number of reliefs of various exotic beasts.
Flags hung from the ceiling, with images of various undead warriors on them.
The layout of the main hall highlights a sense of solemnity and grandeur.
At the entrance of the hall are elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors carrying sledgehammers. When you arrive at the main hall, these tall and fierce-looking guys can only act as gatekeepers, responsible for opening and guarding the door.
The ground was covered with a blood-red carpet that stretched all the way to the bottom of the platform. On both sides were four rows of black warriors and skeleton knights.
The black warrior stood in front, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing to the ground, silent, like a lifeless armor for display.
Behind them were the skeleton knights riding on soul warhorses. Their figures were half hidden in the darkness, and the soul fire in the soul warhorses' eye sockets was very faint. If you didn't pay attention, you would think they were blue lights.
At the foot of the platform, there stood the Skeleton Sword Guard, with red feathers fluttering on his head, his posture upright, and a heroic demeanor.
All of this has been rearranged in order to demonstrate the power of the undead and shock the Orc Empire's delegation.
Li Ziyu sat high on the throne, looking down at the orcs slowly approaching below.
The leaders of the orc delegation were still old acquaintances, Morimos and Moritia, but for some reason, today's orc delegation was different from the past. They all wore robes and hoods, covering their faces.
But it doesn’t matter. Li Ziyu is not worried that these guys have any bad intentions.
This is the Castle of the Undead. If he is successfully assassinated by the orcs in the Castle of the Undead, he will no longer be the Lord of the Undead.
"The great Lord of the Undead, the Orc Empire Morimos, Moritia, greets you."
During the traditional greetings, Li Ziyu nodded and said, "Molymos, Moritia, what is the matter with you bringing an envoy to my Castle of the Dead?"
Morimos said respectfully and humbly, "We come here with the goodwill of the Orc Emperor. The Emperor hopes that the Undead and the Orc Empire can live in peace and not harbor grudges over trivial matters."
Li Ziyu asked calmly, "Is the rift your emperor is referring to the fact that the Tiger Prince of the Orc Empire doesn't take the Lord of the Undead seriously and is calling for his destruction?"
Moritia quickly said, "Great Lord of the Undead, you are so virtuous and wise, and your heart is broader than the ocean. You will certainly not destroy this hard-earned peace because of a few words from some people."
Li Ziyu waved his hands and said impatiently, "Stop talking about such meaningless things. I don't want to waste my time with you. Tell me, what do you want to exchange for peace?"
It is not the undead but the Orc Empire that cannot afford the war, so the initiative is entirely on Li Ziyu's side.
He was waiting for the Orc Empire to make conditions.
Seeing that Li Ziyu was so direct, Morimus didn't waste any words. He took out a roll of animal skin paper and presented it to him with both hands. Li Ziyu waved his hand, and an undead came over to take the animal skin roll.
The undead opened the animal skin scroll in front of Morimus and checked if there was any problem.
If the animal skin scroll contains poison, hidden weapons, magic, curse or other things, it naturally cannot be delivered directly to Li Ziyu.
He unfolded the animal skin scroll, which was covered with densely packed characters of the Orc Empire. Everything seemed normal. The undead then rolled up the animal skin scroll again and turned to hand it to Li Ziyu.
And Morimus also began to introduce what was recorded on the animal skin scroll.
That is an extremely large amount of supplies. As long as Li Ziyu agrees that the Undead and the Orc Empire can live in peace, all the supplies on the animal skin scroll will be given to Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu pretended to glance at the animal skin scroll and signaled the undead to take it aside.
The writing on it was in orcish language, which he didn't recognize, so he might as well listen to Morimos.
There were a lot of things, and Morimos explained them in great detail. After listening for a while, Li Ziyu felt it was boring. He waved his hand and said to him, "Alright, no more. Are you hoping to get rid of me with these supplies? Do you think I'm just threatening you for a few supplies?"
Morimus quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, great Lord of the Undead. These supplies are for the peace between the Undead and our Orcs. They are our Orcs' sincerity."
The amount of supplies is indeed large, and there is no problem in supporting a fortress.
But this is a one-time deal, and Li Ziyu doesn't think that just giving some supplies is enough.
He said nothing, just looked at Morimos quietly, waiting for the other party's next words.
Seeing this, Moritia stepped forward and said in a delicate voice, "We have also prepared a large number of slaves for you, including serfs and maids, a total of 2,000."
This was also what they discussed.
The Lord of the Undead has set his sights on the White Tiger Empress. Although he says he wants her as a hostage, it is hard to say whether he is attracted by her beauty.
