The Sword Saint Lady from the original god

Whether it is Qin's earrings, the walkie-talkie in Eluta's hand, or even the surveillance equipment that can be seen in the reception room.

They are all very, very important props.

Apart from anything else, the eavesdropping function of these devices alone can play a very important role.

For example, if the Goethe Hotel is fully equipped with surveillance equipment, all the conspiracies of the Fatui will be exposed in broad daylight.

But as said before.

Although Eluta knows this world very well, he is not as good as ancient gods like Venti and Zhongli.

Therefore, the introduction of technology requires them to make judgments.

However, judging from Zhongli's attitude, this level of technology should not cause any problems.

Moreover, the continent of Teyvat, although having the same worldview as the world of Honkai, both grow on the World Tree.

But whether this world will be destroyed remains to be seen.

After all, the starry sky of Teyvat is fake...

of course.

Although Eluta has confirmed through Zhongli's attitude that the development of technology will not cause any special problems as long as the earth veins are not changed.

But you still need to be careful when talking to Diluk.

"Actually, Mond is also capable of making these things. I will ask Jean to ask Wendy later. If Wendy allows, I will pass the relevant knowledge to Mond."

"With Albedo's alchemy skills, it shouldn't be a problem to replicate similar items."

"So, let's talk about the equipment I brought later."

"Now let's focus on our diplomatic talks with the Fatui. If half of the conditions we put forward can be agreed to by Solstice, then Mondstadt will be able to get good help in developing technology in the future."

Eluta said, turning his gaze to the projection on the wall.

Diluk also nodded and did not continue the conversation. These things could be discussed later. What was important now was how much conditions Venti's Heart of God could bring to Mondstadt.

Ying and Paimon seemed very quiet from beginning to end. Although Paimon wanted to interrupt from time to time, Ying always stopped Paimon from speaking.

What is happening now is not something they can interrupt.

······

In the reception room of the Knights of Favonius.

Jean, Lisa, and Kaeya represented Mondstadt, and there were also some Knights of Favonius standing in the corner of the room.

As for the Winter Solstice, the leader is the lady, and the one talking to Jean and the others is Anastasia, in addition there are some firefly mages standing behind them as a sign of strength.

The atmosphere of the talks was tense yet peaceful.

The reason for the tension is that most of the conditions Mond proposed for Dongzhidong were conditions that Anastasia could not accept under normal circumstances.

The reason for peace was that even though Anastasia frowned after seeing these conditions, she did not raise any objections at the first time.

because.

After seeing these conditions, she knew one thing very clearly.

That is, Mond really grasped their needs and walked a delicate line between physical pain and extreme pain.

Many conditions will be very painful if you agree to them, but some conditions will only hurt if you agree to them.

If it wasn't something that the other party placed directly on the table.

Anastasia would definitely turn the table over and not negotiate anymore.

But for the sake of God's Heart and the Queen's mission, it doesn't matter if I feel a little pain...

After all, the Heart of God is worth the price.

Chapter 98: Smooth Meeting

Diplomatic talks are not just a verbal confrontation.

At least the peace talks between Zhidong and Mondstadt were not just a verbal exchange, but rather a discussion like a business cooperation.

Jean and Anastasia sat facing each other, each holding the conditions set by Mond in their hands.

Anastasia looked over the conditions offered by Mond.

I have to say that she is really talented. She can make decisions on many of the contents on the spot, and some of the things she cannot decide on can also be confirmed by the lady.

Even if all the conditions on the list are agreed to.

Although there will be certain losses for Zhidong, it will not be too much. Moreover, if these conditions are agreed to, the relationship with Mond can be eased. Although the commercial tariffs will increase, Mond will still be able to get help.

As the transaction time between the two parties gets longer, Zhidong will not lose money, but will make more money instead.

This is not a list of peace terms that Mond used to blackmail Winter through the Heart of God, but a list of cooperation to establish contact with Winter through the Heart of God.

In other words, in exchange for the Heart of God, Dongxiong would contribute money and manpower to create the conditions for Mondstadt's construction and development.

In the short term, Zhidong will definitely suffer a loss, but in the long run, Zhidong will also be able to benefit.

At the same time the most important point.

Through this list, Anastasia could determine Mond's attitude towards their winter.

Obviously, the other party did not want to be enemies with him and others. Mond wanted to develop himself better, so he put forward this list and exchanged it for the Heart of God.

Well, now that Mond's attitude towards herself and others has been confirmed, Anastasia can safely reduce the conditions on the list.

Although it doesn't matter if all the conditions on this list are agreed to, there are still some conditions that cannot be compromised.

for example....

"Although the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain is within Mondstadt's territory, it cannot be considered Mondstadt's territory. Covered by ice and snow for many years, the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain is not suitable for human habitation. Mondstadt has not done much exploration of the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain."

“It’s an undeveloped area.”

"At the same time, the Dragonspine Mountains not only border Mondstadt, but also have contact with Liyue. Therefore, we will not give up exploring the Dragonspine Mountains until winter. We will not evacuate the troops inside, but we can evacuate the Fatui near Mondstadt."

Anastasia placed the list on the table. The Fatui's exploration mission for the Dragonspine Snow Mountain has always existed.

There is very important information hidden in the snow-capped mountains for them.

Therefore, this item on the list is impossible to agree to.

When Qin was making the list, she had already predicted the conditions that the Fatui could and could not agree to.

Qin was very clear in her heart about the request made by Anastasia at this time. This was something the other party had to make, and she had no way to refuse it.

However, I know that the other party will not agree to this and I cannot refuse, but I still need to make some effort on the surface.

Qin frowned, pretended to think for a moment, and then pointed to the compensation on the list.

"The exploration of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain is not particularly important to us, but the Fatui army in the Dragonspine Snow Mountain is a threat to Mondstadt, so we will not allow the Fatui army to exist in Mondstadt."

Anastasia's eyes flashed when she heard this. Jean did not refute directly, but only brought up the threat posed by the Fatui soldiers to Mond.

Then, as long as Mond feels at ease and makes some compensation based on this, Qin will be able to let go.

"In that case, how about we make some concessions to each other?" Anastasia said with a smile on her face.

Qin raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Give in to each other? Don't you know how to give in?"

"How about we sign a peace treaty during this meeting? Mond will allow the Solstice Army to pass through Mond and enter the Dragonspine Snow Mountain without any hindrance. As long as Mond does this, the Solstice Army and the Fatui soldiers will not cause any damage to Mond."

"I believe that with the witness of the God of Contract, the peace treaty we signed will also make Mond feel at ease."

Anastasia made her proposal.

After they obtained the Heart of the God of Wind, the only important place in Mondstadt was the Dragon Back Snow Mountain.

The exploration of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain is a relatively long-term plan for Dongzhi. In addition, the Dragonspine Snow Mountain is very dangerous. All Anastasia needs is that the soldiers on her side who enter the snow mountain will not be hindered by Mond.

Qin thought about it and put forward the conditions that she had written down when communicating with Eluta before.

"Yes, if the soldiers of the Fatui only operate in the snowy mountains, then we will not hinder the Fatui."

"However, I believe that the counselor is also aware of the dangers of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Since you have chosen to enter the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, there is a great possibility that you will arouse the anger of the monsters in the snow mountain."

"If we encounter a powerful monster, Mondstadt can provide friendly assistance, but if there is a large-scale monster riot, then the Fatui must help Mondstadt repel the monsters."

“And this must be added to the peace treaty mentioned earlier.”

Anastasia narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this, and understood something.

Then, Anastasia pointed out the next point. "I see. Let's decide on this one. The next point is this. The tariffs on merchants in Winter Solstice must be reduced."

Qin responded, "Yes, but the reduction cannot be less than 50% of the conditions. At the same time, Mond's caravans heading to Winter Solstice must be tax-free."

"No problem." Anastasia nodded. This was the sacrifice that had to be made in order to obtain the Heart of God. Besides, Mondstadt's specialty was indeed in great demand in Winter.

The environment in Solstice is rather bad. Although it is not so bad that nothing grows, it is still much worse than Mondstadt. Although Mondstadt’s taxes have been waived, it can also stimulate the market in Solstice.

The increase in tariffs on Zhidong’s side is nothing special. After all, there are not many things that Zhidong can sell.

Next, Jean and Anastasia had a peaceful negotiation based on the conditions on the list, and both sides had a lively conversation.

Lisa and Kaia, sitting next to Qin, did not interrupt.

Lisa was too lazy to interrupt, and Kaia didn't know where to interrupt.

On Anastasia's side, the lady sat next to her with her eyes closed, showing no interest in the peace talks between the two sides.

soon.

The discussion between Qin and Anastasia has ended.

And when Anastasia and Qin both showed satisfied smiles.

The lady suddenly spoke.

"Now that we have finished talking nonsense, let's talk about why Mond handed over the Heart of God so easily?"

"Barbatos, what is his conspiracy? What is the purpose of the strength he just displayed? Is he trying to intimidate us or what else does he want to do?"

As the lady finished her words, the originally harmonious scene suddenly became cold.

"Also, peace talks and stuff. Do you really think we will agree to these conditions?"

There was a sneer on the lady's lips.

Qin and the others also looked very cold at this time.

Chapter 99: The Lady's Trouble

Anastasia opened her mouth in disbelief at the lady's sudden change.

Obviously, the peace talks have ended now, and all the lady needs to do after that is shake hands with Qin to complete the Queen's mission.

Why do you speak up at this time?

Moreover, he said he wanted to tear up the contract after both parties had discussed the terms.

Because of the lady's words, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense. Anastasia did not have the Eye of God, but she could feel the gradually growing stronger elemental power in the air.

Wind, thunder, ice, and even fire.

"Ms. Anastasia, we can pretend that we didn't hear what your executive said just now, but we need to double the compensation."

Lisa had a gentle smile on her face at this time, but Anastasia felt that the smile was not friendly. However, what she said was a good step.

"No problem, this is our problem." Anastasia agreed decisively.

Although Mondstadt Lion asked for compensation, money was nothing to Zhidong.

Mond proposed 500 million Mora, which would only be 1 billion if doubled.

It is indeed a huge compensation.

But as for Zhidong, it has the North Kingdom Bank spread all over the continent of Teyvat. Although 1 billion is expensive, it is nothing.

However, although Anastasia agreed to Lisa's conditions, the lady didn't think so.

"Anastasia, as a member of the Fatui, everything we have belongs to Her Majesty the Queen, am I right?" The lady's voice was very cold.

Anastasia heard this and sighed deeply, "Yes, my lady."

"With the strength of our Winter and our Fatui, such conditions are a complete humiliation to us. Mondstadt, weak Mondstadt!"

The lady then reached out and grabbed the Heart of God on the table.

Qin and others watched the lady's actions without any reaction. Eluta also anticipated the lady's actions at this time.
