“How dare you flirt with our queen! Are you picking a fight?!”
One of the little elves could no longer hold back his anger. He was about to go up to Xu Hang and fight but was stopped by another elf that was beside him.
“Don’t stop me!”
“Calm down. Your queen is stunning. I’m captivated by her beauty. It’s a compliment,” said Xu Hang with a smile.
“You have a glib tongue. Anyway, that’s all to it!”
The queen waved her hand and was ready to leave.
“Don’t worry. We’ll keep you well-fed,” she added.
“Wait a moment. I want to talk to you,” said Xu Hang.
“Talk? Do you think you’re in the position to talk to me?”
The queen did not even turn around.
“Hill, untie me.”
Xu Hang ordered casually.
“Yes, Master!”
Hill raised his arm and easily broke the iron chain.
All the elves were shocked.
They watched as Hill walked towards Xu Hang and untied him.
The little elves immediately grabbed their spears and the atmosphere became tense.
“Do you want to be beaten again?” said the queen coldly.
“Previously, we did not harm you at all. We’re sincere. You can attack us, but don’t regret it when we retaliate!”
Xu Hang clapped his hands.
Hill walked to one of the stone pillars and gave it a punch!
The stone pillar broke into pieces!
Then, Hill grabbed a broken piece of the stone pillar and threw it at a stalactite on top of the cave, breaking it in an instant!
Broken pieces of stalactite fell down and dust filled the cave.
The Elven Queen was shocked.
This farmer could easily kill all the elves!
Xu Hang was giving her a chance!
Nonetheless, the Elven Queen was mentally strong. She quickly calmed down and said to Xu Hang, “What do you want to talk about?”
“About cooperating!”
Xu Hang deliberately raised his voice.
“Cooperate? An equal or a superior-subordinate relationship?”
“Equal!”
“Why? Our race is so weak. We have always been the plaything of other powerhouses. No one has ever been willing to be on equal terms with us. What are you trying to achieve?”
“Do you think that I’m strong?”
“With such a powerful servant, of course you are.”
“What if he’s not here?”
“You’re useless in terms of strength, but I don’t know if you have any other abilities.”
“It’s true that your race is physically weak, but you make it up with intelligence and unity. For example, like the “dragon” incident. You’ve managed to protect your people for such a long time.”
“That’s correct. Even those who were stronger got scared by us.”
“We’re similar. I’m nothing when I’m alone. I can only roam around with my car.”
Hill’s expression changed when he heard this, but he immediately calmed down.
“If we work together, we’ll be able to survive.”
“I’m not interested in the history of the elves. Although I’m a human, I’ve never done anything wrong to your race. Even though I’m ashamed of what my people have done, I’m not obliged to repay their debts!”
“I’m also considered a weak person in this world. I also yearn for peace. That’s why I need allies!”
Xu Hang got a little excited while delivering his speech.
“Just talk about the benefits.”
The queen persisted with her cold tone.
“I need to gather information and some labor force. In return, I can give you shelter, an army, weapons, and technical support.”
“My weapons and equipment are way more powerful than anything you have ever seen.”
“Indeed, we could make use of your weapons. You are a sensible person.”
The Elven Queen nodded.
“You flatter me. As a sign of goodwill, I will let you have this magic cannon and one magic crystal. In exchange, you have to tell me where I can find mineral veins,” Xu Hang offered.
“Exit the cave and head west. It’s about twenty miles away. What you wanted should be there. The place is guarded by a pack of demon wolves. However, with this person by your side, there should be no problems at all.”
“Thank you. Hill, give them the cannon!”
“Yes, Master!”
“Wait a moment. We want to test its power first. You might be lying to us.”
They went to a lakeside.
The queen waved her hand.
“Let’s give it a try!”
Hill took a magic crystal from Xu Hang’s hand and slotted it in the magic cannon. He adjusted the muzzle and aimed it at the lake.
The magic cannon slowly started up and began to vibrate violently.
Everyone held their breaths.
Bang!
A huge beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the magic cannon. It passed through the surface of the lake.
“Nothing happened?”
Just as everyone was about to relax, the place shook.
The lake’s water stirred up miles into the sky!
At the same time, a cave was created at the bottom of the lake. It stretched out for dozens of miles!
The water in the sky fell back down with a huge force.
Even the shape of the circular lake was changed. Now, there was a line right in the middle!
The Elven Queen took a deep breath.
She finally understood that if Xu Hang wanted to, he could have easily wiped them out.
Yet, he set aside his pride to make an equal trade with her.
“Not bad, human!”
Xu Hang had made quite an impression on the Elven Queen.
At the same time, Xu Hang was also taken aback by the power of the magic cannon.
However, that quickly turned into admiration.
“If this is what the magic cannon is capable of, then who knows how powerful the other magic weapons would be!”
The Elven Queen reminisced about the past.
Before her mother, the previous Elven Queen, died, she had told her that she would meet a person who would help the elven race become stronger.
‘No way. Could it be him?’
“Alright. I believe that you’re sincere. Then, let’s form an alliance.”
The Elven Queen wrote a contract in elven and human language.
Then, she bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
After that, she handed it to Xu Hang.
Xu Hang read the contract.
Since there were no problems, he followed what the queen did.
The contract shone with a golden light.
Suddenly, Xu Hang felt that there was an inexplicable connection between him and the Elven Queen.
He raised his head and looked at her with a puzzled gaze.
The Elven Queen blushed and turned her head away.
“Now leave and attend to your business. I know that you still have to fend off the Beast Tide. Once it’s over, we can talk about our alliance.”
Although Xu Hang was still confused, he agreed and prepared to set off.
“By the way, if you find a yellow pendant in the nest of those demon wolves, please bring it back to me. Thank you.”
“Alright.”
