Chapter 10 Negotiations
Although Li Lin confirmed that she had found a suitable candidate, Maya's reaction to this was very fierce. She was unwilling to accept this condition and became the spokesperson for the Dark Girl underground. It was useless no matter what. It seemed that after the death of the Spider Goddess, the dark elf's view of the god world went from one extreme to another, and she was unwilling to become the helper of any gods.
This gave Li Lin a great headache, and the dark elves were quite persistent in this regard. Even if Anjiela tortured her, she could not change the will of the dark elves. Li Lin could not use spells, because if he had not believed in it from the bottom of his heart, he would not be able to accept the power of the gods. Then the spokesperson would not be considered. So Li Lin gave up this idea and planned to find another dark elves to take on this important task.
However, after searching along the way, not only did he not find a suitable candidate, but Li Lin was even more determined to ask Maya to be the spokesperson. Those dark elves were not as good as they agreed on the surface, but planned to engage in conspiracy behind their backs. They just shouted to take revenge, rushed over and attacked Li Lin, and then were directly torn to pieces by Angela. Half of the dark elves who were optimistic like Maya could never find any more. Although there were two or three situations that were very similar to Maya, Li Lin felt that they were too unreliable and were likely to become dangerous elements in the nest.
"I'll go and talk to Maya again."
After wandering around the ruins for two times, Li Lin did not find a suitable candidate. Although the dark elves did not try to escape because of his threat, they silently began to return to their place where they lived, waiting for the next instructions. However, this search also made Li Lin very depressed. He could not find a suitable person to take office, and in the end he could only helplessly continue to put his plans on the unique dark elves.
After the battle, Maya was taken care of by Angela. Her "non-violent and non-cooperating" attitude made the perpetrators have no interest. Therefore, when Li Lin returned to her original station, she found that Angela had thrown the task of guarding the dark elves to her sisters, and she didn't know where to go to play.
Li Lin walked to the dark elf and looked at her intently. Maya lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Miss Maya, I hope you can think about my proposal again."
Li Lin said, unable to hear the meaning of persuasion at all, but it was more like a suggestion.
"You should understand very well that without the assistance of the gods, the dark elves will completely disappear in this land."
“That’s how the underground world is.”
Ma Ya still had that tone that was neither fast nor slow.
"We have done so much before, and now it is our turn to be destroyed. I don't know what the world on the surface is like, but here, in the dark area, the death of those without strength is normal. I have no need to consider it."
"Do you think your race will be helpless?"
Li Lin stared at the dark elf and tried to see through the thoughts deep in the dark elf's heart.
"You should know better than me that there are other cities besides Casos. You must have discovered that after the gods you worship have died, you will no longer be as powerful as before. But do you think your fellow countrymen will really perish?"
His tone gradually became serious.
"Please think clearly, Miss, think about how you came underground. When the dark elves entered the underground, they were cursed by the elf goddess, and chased by human pursuers, and the dark earth was full of dangerous creatures. At that time, your situation was more than a hundred times more dangerous than now? Under such circumstances, were the dark elves extinct? No, no, not only did you not extinct, but you even found the help of new gods. So what now? Now your gods are dead, what will you become? Do you really think that these dark elves will perish underground?"
Maya's body trembled slightly, and she understood what Li Lin meant. Since the dark elves could find Spider Goddess as their backer when facing the crisis, it was not difficult to find another god as their backer when facing the current dilemma.
"Do you want to see the dark elves fall to this end? Tell you frankly, the Elf Goddess has handed over your spider-quench corpse to me, and this god will never be resurrected or reappeared in the world in the future. So, what choice do you think the dark elves have? Are you planning to worship those hell demon kings? You know, their classification and attitude towards class are completely different from that of the dark elves."
“…………………”
Maya didn't speak, but she obviously began to hesitate and think. Although Maya is now considered to be completely lost, the culture and life influence of the dark elves permeated her bones. Perhaps she doesn't mind talking to a powerful male human like Li Lin now, but as long as she thinks that when the dark elves defect to the gods, the class status of the entire dark elves society is likely to be subverted, Maya will naturally feel nervous. She doesn't like that kind of life, and even frankly speaking, even if the status of the male dark elves is raised to an equal position with the female dark elves, it will make Maya feel less comfortable.
On this point, although the elves' position of the goddess is different from that of the dark elves, the social and political systems of the two are different. The surface elves are also ruled by women, but the status of male elves there is not as low as that of the dark elves. They are voluntary choices to become warriors, rather than training them for killing. After all, the dark elves were originally a branch divided from the elves, and may be better than believing in the more weird gods.
Perhaps because he made a decision to weigh the pros and cons deep down, Maya took a deep breath and then raised her head.
"So, what exactly do I need to do?"
“It’s very simple.”
Seeing that the Dark Elf had the intention of agreeing, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could convince the Dark Elf, the next thing would be much easier.
"I need you to convince other dark elf cities to avoid large-scale commotion. With the dark girl supporting you, you should be able to easily deal with other mistresses who have no gods as their backing. And I will go back to the ground during this time to do something private. After I come back, I hope to see that everything has been done... I hate the incompetent, and you have this ability. If you can't do it well, then... I think you should understand the consequences."
"I see."
Maya nodded slightly. Although Li Lin's statement was equivalent to making her the ruler of all dark elves, even so, Maya did not smile. The power she had seized by her previous killing of her mother was lost in an instant, which made her understand the power of individuals in front of the gods. Therefore, even if she really relied on the power of the dark girl and became the ruler of all dark elves again, Maya would no longer be as excited as before. Perhaps, this is because she understands better than others how easy it is to grasp and lose power.
"I will leave someone by your side, responsible for monitoring your actions and also responsible for reporting messages. If you have anything to say, just leave it to her to do, and... to prevent some possible accidents, I will impose an instruction on you, rest assured that it will not have any impact on your daily life. However, if I realize that the actions you have made may undermine the agreement between the two of us, I am sorry."
As he said that, Li Lin looked at the dark cave as deep as the cave.
"I hope I will see what I want to see after I come back."
"As you wish, Mr. Mage."
Maya lowered her head slightly and agreed, but she quickly raised her head.
"But I have a condition."
"oh?"
Hearing the dark elf’s words, Li Lin stared at her in surprise. This dark elf should be very clear. She has not negotiated with others to ask for requirements at the moment, so the qualifications for the conditions are right.........What exactly is this dark elf girl who has such an idea?
"Tell me."
"If I complete the task successfully and achieve enough results to satisfy you..."
Maya stared at Li Lin, her eyes revealing a clearness that had never been seen before and unwavering enthusiasm.
"Can you agree to one of my requests?"
“……………………………”
Li Lin did not answer Maya's request immediately. He pondered for a moment, not knowing what the dark elf actually wanted. Moreover, such conditions were too dangerous. Who knows what the dark elf would make? You know, this is not an ordinary ally. Maya is a dark elf, and she once killed her mother with her own hands because she wanted power. Although this is not a guilty act in the culture of the dark elf, would the request she made really be just a simple and easy thing?
However, Li Lin nodded without thinking for too long. After all, he needed this ally, and since the conversation just now, he has a certain understanding of Maya. She cannot be called a broad kindness, but she has her own persistence and principles. She is firm in her will. Since she clearly knows that she is a powerful mage in front of her and knows that her current identity does not have the qualification, the only reason for her to make this choice is that she will not change her decision. Since that is the case, Li Lin doesn't mind making an adventure decision that can be controlled by him within the range of accidents that can tolerate.
