In fact, the old king wanted to blurt out, 'I hope this time is permanent'.
But how could it be permanent?
Aside from the limit of human life span, Luo Ning has no need, let alone reason, to guard their oil bottle for a long time.
The old king frowned anxiously, his already wrinkled forehead was twisted together, and his cloudy eyes were lost in thought.
He wanted to think more about it, and mentioned a time when Luo Ning would not feel dissatisfied and he would have enough energy to prepare for defense.
But if it continues like this, once Luo Ning's patience is exhausted, the gain will outweigh the loss.
So he had to answer quickly.
357 Winning is Numb
"One, one or two years...?"
The old king was trying to answer Luo Ning's question.
He dared not tell the time to death.
One was because he was afraid that Luo Ning would be unhappy, and the other was to give himself a little room to talk.
Luo Ning thought for a while, tilted his head and asked:
"One or two years won't consume much of the empire's energy... They can't get in now, and they can't do anything, so they can only choose to put your affairs aside, but once you lose the protection of the witch, the annihilation of the king's city will be against the angry empire. It’s just a matter of minutes.”
"Lord Luo Ning is right..." The old king nodded in agreement.
The aging hands clenched tightly into fists, and the old king lowered his gaze, making it difficult to raise his head.
"However, we can't come up with any terms of exchange to make a deal. We also know that nothing can be exchanged for Lord Luo Ning's favor... So, it is difficult to open your mouth."
"That's right," Luo Ning nodded, "Ilan King City owes me a lot."
He said it without hesitation.The old king also silently nodded in approval.
Although they would give Luo Ning some gold coins, those gold coins could not even buy a few luxury items, so how could it be compared with the fate of the entire Elan King City.
The old king and Maria knew very well in their hearts that they really owed Luo Ning too much.
So no one dared to open the mouth.
"How about this?" Luo Ning looked at the old king with a half-smile.
"I saved the Elan King City. In return, how about you give me the Elan King City?"
The old king's pale brows raised doubtfully.
For a moment, he couldn't understand what Luo Ning meant.
What kind of gift is the "send" in his mouth?
The Elan King City itself has no value. What is valuable is the citizens who are willing to live here, the happiness of the citizens, the goods in circulation, and the coins on everyone.
Putting these things aside, Elan King City is nothing more than a pile of stone buildings.
So when Luo Ning said 'send', which one was he referring to?
The old king didn't understand what Luo Ning would want.
If it is the status of a city lord, the old king will give up without saying a word in order to keep the city.
However, with Luo Ning's status, he doesn't even bother to be a city lord... The other party will not care about such a position at all.
"Is there a possibility?"
Luo Ning felt that he was about to start a tedious brainwashing speech.
"Do you think it is possible for the demons to coexist with a certain human city?"
Luo Ning said something that didn't match up.
The old king was in a fog.
But there should be a second half of Luo Ning's words, so the old king just listened quietly and didn't intend to interrupt Luo Ning.
Luo Ning continued: "Didn't I be abducted by the Demon Lord Lilulu to the depths of the Demon King's territory - 'Devil King City' a few days ago. I found that their Demon Race is actually quite hospitable, although I am nothing." Guests', but everyone received me normally. There are food to eat, clothes to wear, streets and city-states, and it looks like a human town, but it’s actually not that different.”
In order to convince them, Luo Ning was going to start making up things.
"Then I was thinking, just like there are good people and bad people among human beings, there are actually good demons and bad demons in the demon race... Most of the good demons are honest and kind, just like the good young people of today's human beings."
"So, if a good devil and a good person meet together, can they get along well?"
Luo Ning was observing their expressions while talking.
The old king was taken aback when he heard this.
Maria also tilted her head to listen and think hard.
This matter is unacceptable and unimaginable to the old king, Principal Maria, and to any ordinary person.
After all, for thousands of years, no one has tried to guess whether humans and demons can get along well.
Luo Ning's question was too new for them, and it was difficult to understand for a while.
But it doesn't matter if they don't understand.
Luo Ning was just trying.
For Luo Ning, whether or not he should try to make the demons and humans get along with each other is a later story, and everything is just his vision for the future.
There are many routes that could happen in the future.
The happy and friendly relationship between humans and demons is just one of them.
There is another, more likely future: life and death.
Either the empire is gone, or the Demon King City is gone.
The attitudes of these two sides have been established as early as thousands of years ago, and the hatred for the other race is almost engraved in the bones.
So Luo Ning asked this question, but it was just a casual talk.
He really wanted to use Elan King City.
It is true that some demons are stationed here.
Just like when the empire marched into the Demon Race, it needed to station camps on the border for military logistics, the Demon Race also needed such things.
However, the construction ability of the Demon Race is limited. Regarding this point, after the Demon Race spent hundreds of years and could barely build a Demon King City, it can be seen that the Demon Race knows nothing about building houses.
So it is most convenient to get some ready-made buildings.
Since the overall situation is that the demons will fight the human empire to the death, Luo Ning naturally has to anticipate in advance, and then pave the way for his wife.
"Actually, that's how it happened."
Looking at the solemn expression of the old king, Luo Ning let out a helpless breath.
"It's not that Demon King Lilulu let me go in a flash of her brain. I actually told her something and gave her some conditions."
"She let me go, and also let go of the 1000 people from Elan King City... The condition is that if one day the demon army is going to attack the Crotal Empire, I hope, oh no, I want you Elan King City to...betray own race."
Luo Ning thought for a moment and added.
"Well... it doesn't seem that serious. In fact, the only thing you betrayed is the empire. After all, the only enemy the demons are targeting is the empire."
Luo Ning has made it quite clear now.
After all, the old king is still a politician. He has ruled Elan King City for so many years, and he understands everything he can understand.
After he listened silently, his frowning brows gradually relaxed.
"We have long been at odds with the empire, and there is no betrayal..."
The old king already knew that Luo Ning was taken away by the demon king Lilulu, and Maria told him everything.
The right is for the lives of these 1000 people. If the demon king Lilulu stood in front of him and offered such a condition, the old king would make the same choice as Luo Ning.
"We are willing to betray the empire. You said, what do we need to do..."
The old king did not hesitate this time, and his tone was quite decisive.
Luo Ning nodded in satisfaction.
"It's impossible for you to expand the town in this state. I hope you can increase the height of the building, plan more rooms, and stockpile food... Well, it's better to divide it into a separate area."
Luo Ning's faint voice reached the ears of the old king and Maria at the same time.
Maria recovered from her daze.
"Lord Luo Ning..." She was still a little awkward with such a title, "The divisions are..."
"A station for the demons."
Luo Ning's answer was simple and straightforward.
Maria parted her lips slightly.
This matter, the matter of dividing the city area for the demons, she has never thought about it in her life...
However, she also knew that there was no room for rejection.
What's more, she basically believed in Luo Ning.
Luo Ning took another sip of the black tea, and he thought of some details.
"Remember to make that place a bit darker. It's best to build a shed to cover the sun. The demons don't like the sun... Then, in the center, reserve a room with the best view and the largest size, and put a bigger soft bed in it. , the soft bed is full of rabbit dolls."
He finished speaking in one breath, in a smooth manner, as if he had been in contact with the demons for a short day, and he completely understood the preferences of some demons.
"Okay, okay, I'll make a note." Maria nodded blankly.
What is a bunny doll?Do demons still like rabbit dolls?
"Is the rabbit... a live rabbit?"
Maria was still a little uncertain, and even wondered if she heard it wrong.
"A doll is the kind made of cloth and cotton..." Luo Ning explained patiently,
"Remember to make the rabbit ears longer, about [-] centimeters. There are demons who like to carry their ears and drag the rabbit doll around the room in the middle of the night."
"Oh, oh, good." Maria wrote it down.
"That's about it."
Luo Ning lay on the back of the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
They can barely accept it, their psychological quality is not bad, and it saves Luo Ning a lot of trouble.
"Is that all you need...Lord Luo Ning?"
The old king was somewhat surprised and also found it incredible.
He had already imagined what price the Elan King City would have to pay in exchange for peace.
However, after going back and forth, it seems that there is no need to do anything, just build a house... Then the Ilan King City, which is in dire straits, is saved?
"Hmm..." Luo Ning thought of something again, and decided to finish speaking at once.
"One more thing, I hope you can provide more currency, because after all, the currency of the demons and the currency of humans are not in circulation, you can roughly calculate the ratio between the coins based on the price, and the demons who live here can also Turn your own coins into purchasing power."
"Of course, the demons will provide items of equivalent value for trading. What I hope is long-term cooperation, not unilateral squeeze."
"I understand what you mean..."
The old king nodded slowly, no more doubts in his eyes.
"We will carry out the plan according to your wishes. We will make a plan for the renovation of the building today, and we will start construction within three days. Lord Luo Ning can rest assured."
The old king's tone was sincere, and what he said still had some weight.
Seeing that he was so energetic, Luo Ning felt relieved.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to worry about it... As for Elan King City, the original witch will leave with me after a while, but I will find a new way to defend here, you can rest assured about that."
At that moment, Luo Ning thought of several wage earners of the devil king. The devil dragon, devil wolf, or little fox seemed to be able to guard the city of Elan.
If it really doesn't work, Luo Ning can still go to the corners of the world to pick up artifacts, maybe he can pick up something to cover it.
"I understand, Lord Luo Ning, we will trust you unconditionally."
When the old king was speaking, Luo Ning had already stood up, and he stretched out a hand to the old old king.
