Chapter 168 – New Team (8)

“Are you going to negotiate with your father?”

“Actually, negotiating with the district manager is Naria-sama’s choice. We are negotiating with Naria-sama, not the district commander.”

Liam shared his plan. All they want is for Naria to cooperate with them anyway. The aluminum ingot you brought is just a means to that end.

It is her role to convince her own father to use this vast fortune.

So far, the reason she hasn’t been able to do much in her confrontation with her father is because she literally doesn’t have much. If you give them these and negotiate with them not to push the residents any further, he will surely have no choice but to accept them.

“Your face has many questions.”

“Can’t you? I’m not a miner or artisan, but I know how valuable this is. To think such things were brought in large quantities by those who called themselves those who left.”

“If you are our full allies, there is no reason not to talk.”

Liam gently coaxed her to keep her eyes off her aluminum ingot. As she was in desperate need of her help, she had to seize this opportunity.

“Now that it has come to this point, I am very curious. Like what this kid said, and how confident you are. Above all, there is evidence like this.”

“A wise choice.”

“But give me a minute. With these things, I have to get a promise from my father.”

Eventually, Naria complied with Liam’s persuasion and asked him to take him to her Eden. She then said that she would take the ingot and go to her father to negotiate.

“Even if I bring my father half of these, it will be effective. My father has no choice but to listen to me. To get the other half.”

With a flushed expression, Naria took half of her aluminum ingot and stood up from her seat. For the first time in a power struggle with her father, she realized herself that she had the upper hand.

“Well, what if Naria-nim escapes like this and accuses us?”

“That is not the case. Of course, you better make sure.”

Liam didn’t stop Naria from heading to the city, she rather encouraged her. And then she nodded her head, not denying the words of her co-workers who said that she still had less trust with her.

“Everyone, prepare to escape immediately if the situation arises. After all, if Nari-nim arrives, she intends to leave immediately. Even if it leaves as it is… It won’t be a big loss.”

Aluminum is obviously a very precious metal. However, Liam said on a note from her Eden that the source of this aluminum was the sky.

Liam now knows what that means, so she doesn’t place too much value on aluminum.

“Looks like things went well?”

And fortunately, just before evening that evening, Ren found Naria walking back here with her light steps and smiled.

With her bright expression and light gait, it was easy to see that she got what she wanted.

“Father’s eyes widened. My father was a craftsman, so he recognized the value at once. I have no choice but to listen to my words because I know that even if the people in my village work hard for days and days, what they can get is less than that ingot.”

“We didn’t expect things to turn out this way, but it turned out well.”

Seeing her still agitated, Liam responded.

Indeed, Naria showed her aluminum ingots to her own father and offered to stop overtaxing the residents to meet her taxes, and her father said that with her simple calculations, it would be better to accept her offer. Realizing the benefits, he struck her deal.

The problem was solved at once by simply printing and pressing with overwhelming money, without serious quarrels or extreme wars. Everyone present was stunned.

“Now that I’m at this point, I’m more curious. What kind of place is the Eden you are talking about?”

“You will find out sooner or later.”

Of course, she also fulfilled her promise. Naria, who buried her half of the aluminum ingots in a well-kept place known only to herself, decided to leave the nest with her party and head to Eden.

She was planning to check and judge for herself what kind of place Eden is.

People from Eden, including Liam and Ren, were sure that she would not be able to escape once she stepped into it, but from her point of view, she agreed with their words that she just had to leave.

“Then can’t you tell me now? Little boy, why are you going through such hardships?”

The way we go together. Naria slaps Ren on the shoulder as she walks beside her.

“The Great Forest is… At war.”

After looking at the other party’s notice at her words, Ren finally opened her mouth. Anyway, since she’s on the same side now, I decided it wouldn’t matter if I opened up her information a bit more.

“The elves of the Great Grove are divided into two factions fighting? I can’t believe that such things are happening to other areas.”

Of course, that fact alone was a big shock to Naria. For her part, the plight of the Great Forest her Ren spoke of was her testimony to the continental chaos her father had so claimed.

“I’ve heard good news from the dwarves, but it’s not all good news.”

The news that Naria, who is a great power and can become Ren’s teacher, has successfully joined her party, reached Serenian. However, that is not the only news that has been delivered to her.

The Great Forest, Eden, and now the Great Mountains of the North, now the realm of the dwarves, her influence was absorbing information about everything that was going on there.

“I was shocked when I first heard the news.”

Aron sighed after giving the news to the dwarves. It was because the contents written on the paper in her hand were so shocking.

“Surely, Baru, who has been researching the information, sees with his own eyes that the snow mountain elves burned down and disappeared. He said he had only heard rumors that he had been taken away.”

“…It’s not an unfounded rumor. It is true that the village has disappeared and been destroyed.”

Aaron looked at her and said that he didn’t know yet, but Serenian shook her head.

Because I have already experienced firsthand that anything can happen. It was because the victim was the same elf that he reacted so violently, but in fact, it was common to plunder and kill through war now.

A small human kingdom somewhere is destroyed overnight, or a tribe of beastmen is slaughtered.

That’s why the continent’s mainstream powers obsessed over power and grew in size. Because they know the possibility that they can fall into delicious prey with plump flesh.

“This issue needs to be discussed among the elves. If something is decided there, let’s have a general meeting.”

Serenian withheld judgment.

The Great Forest has not stabilized yet, so I had to ask what others thought if I wanted to pay attention to a new place.

“I’m not sure if I should mention this at the meeting of the elves. Daesurim, which has enemies on both sides, is now in great danger.”

“That’s why you came to see me.”

However, Serenian went to Seonghyeon before informing others of this fact and convening a meeting.

“All I want is peace and prosperity. But the more we intervene in other things, the greater the chance of a quarrel. It takes a lot of strength to protect it, and when those forces collide, it becomes a war.”

“If the reason for hesitation is that it is burdensome, there is no need to do so.”

Seunghyeon shook his head at Serenian, who was wary of not being able to handle it. If it had been before, he might have hesitated to answer just in case, but things have changed since he found the system’s user manual and figured out what it was.

“Expand your will. That is the true way to repay Heaven’s grace.”

He now finds himself in a situation where he must encourage Serenian’s actions. The support from her and her Eden supporters soon became faith points and energy that could be used in the system.

Buy new land, provide supplies to help them, and in turn receive goods from them. All of that required active action.

‘I want to be satisfied with my own small potted plant, but on the other hand, I am more curious. How much bigger this world will become.’

Now there are only five flower pots. The more this number increases, the more the world will change. He, who was recording the history with the video, now wanted to see it too.
