Sure enough, when the welcome banquet was halfway through, the elf general with the title of commander and almost neutral appearance came to Luo Zhengdao with a crystal wine glass, and he said politely:

"The Supreme Commander of the Grand Commander, sincerely invites Earl Fulu to visit our country."

Hearing the sound, a trace of light flashed in Luo Zhengdao's eyes. He knew that the show was coming, so he immediately cheered up and said:

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I have some health problems recently and I can't visit your country for the time being."

Luo Zhengdao's words were both the truth and the shirk. Because of this, the other party was not going to say much. Now Luo Zhengdao's face was so bad that no one could tell that he was not blind. So, the elf general who was so handsome that he couldn't tell the difference between male and female was so handsome that he appeared on his face. Then he raised his glass to greet Luo Zhengdao and said:

"Hahaha, our doors are always open to friends. Earl, you can come to visit when you think it is appropriate. We are always waiting for your arrival. Cheers for your health and the friendship between humans and elves!"

"Okay, I will definitely take time to visit the Grand Commander, cheers!"

As the saying goes, "Wine a friend with a few glasses, and you don't have any speculations." The elves have clearly expressed the meaning of recruiting agents. It would be meaningless to continue to keep Luo Zhengdao and his party for a while. Soon they said goodbye and left the elves flagship.

On the way back in the boat, Vina Dubov was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask Luo Zhengdao on his own initiative:

"Will, why did you reject the invitation from the Elf Federation? Isn't this proposal good?"

Luo Zhengdao, who had always closed his eyes and said nothing at all when he got on the boat. He didn't even mean to open his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"No, you should ask me why I agreed."

Hearing this, Vina Dubov's eyes were filled with question marks. She tried to recall the details of the conversation between the two parties, and then said tentatively:

“…Is there any difference?”

Luo Zhengdao, who had a smile on his lips, opened his eyes and said slowly:

"Of course, I will not participate in a negotiation with an unequal status, nor will I sign a cheap contract for selling my body."

The facts are as Luo Zhengdao said. He now has the capital to refuse to trade with the elves. Under the pursuit of the Second Goblin Empire, few human nobles of the Light Dynasty survived. Luo Zhengdao, with the title of earl on his head, is also considered a rare item. What are the elves making? He is naturally as insightful as to what the elves are making.

These long ears who like to bet in a different way are nothing more than planning to bet early and exchange a little early assistance for future interest transfer conditions. To put it bluntly, the planning of the Elf Federation is the same as those of the old world's profiteers who play venture capital. Since Luo Zhengdao has the confidence of a time traveler and the trump card of a magic card, how could he agree to selling his future at a low price? Instead of being suppressed by the negotiating opponent because of his weak power, it is better to block the other party's golden mouth when the other party is offered as soon as possible, so that the party that has the initiative in negotiation will be replaced by Luo Zhengdao.

It is incredible that a future aristocratic tutor, who does not understand political science at all, is a very incredible thing. Even if he only has a deep understanding of the level of military talk on paper, Vina Dubov is definitely not an outsider who knows nothing about political operations.

After understanding what Luo Zhengdao said, the half-elf beauty still showed skepticism, and she whispered:

"Will, are you sure you will soon have the strength to negotiate with the Elf Federation? The Elf Federation is a big country, not a city-state!"

The Yaling Empire and the Elves Federation, which are located outside the seven seas and form a strife, have no smaller land area than the main continent. The problem is that the geographical location they occupy is too remote. Not only is it far away from the important trade routes with other civilized countries, it was once regarded as a wild country. How to promote its own economic development has become a difficult problem. This is like the old world. The industrial cities built by the former Soviet Union on the Siberian wastelands have been hard-working. After losing foreign blood transfusions, their overly remote geographical location and expensive living costs have quickly made them lose all their residents, and in a blink of an eye it became one desolate ghost town after another.

In the new world where hundreds of races compete for power, the Yaling and the Elves belong to the mesogenic species. Although unlike the immortal species represented by the pure-blooded dragon, the cycle of reproduction of offspring often takes a thousand years to produce new offspring. However, compared with the short-lived species such as humans and goblins that can reproduce a generation of people in more than ten years, everyone is obviously not on the same order of magnitude. Just a Yaling or Elf baby grows up and grows up is enough for the short-lived species to give birth to several generations. It is conceivable that with such a tragic speed of population appreciation, it is difficult to develop and utilize even if the land is occupied.

Influenced by racial characteristics, the prosperity and decline cycles of the Yaling Empire and the Elf Federation seem particularly long compared to the short-lived regime. Unless it is hard to fight an unprecedented world war or some black technology is exploded, it is unlikely that he will see significant changes in the national strength of these two families during his lifetime.

Luo Zhengdao, who clearly did not want to sign a city alliance with others, could not hide his tiredness. He immediately grinned at Vina Dubov, and said weakly:

"...No matter what, it will be better than the current situation!"

After hearing this, Vina was speechless and could only nod and agreed with Luo Zhengdao's point of view. The half-elf beauty said in a little discouraged moment:

"What are you going to do?"

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Luo Zhengdao's face, full of fatigue and pain, flushed unhealthy, as if he was looking forward to the future:

"I need more reliable personnel, especially those who can help me master the fleet, Vina, next we have to look for the main continent."

Hearing the sound, Vina Dubov's concave and delicate body trembled involuntarily, and then she waved her arms excitedly and said:

"No, it's too dangerous, are you crazy?"

At this time, Luo Zhengdao, who had not spoken before, covered his chest with his hands to avoid the sequelae of pain affecting his normal speech. He said word by word:

"This is no big deal. No matter where I am hiding, I can't escape the fate of being chased by goblins. Every day I live is very dangerous. Don't you understand?"

Hearing the sound, the half-elf-beautiful woman who was speechless was staring at Luo Zhengdao with her eyes. Her eyes showed pity and said:

"But, Will...you're pushing yourself too hard."

After sighing, Luo Zhengdao shrugged indifferently and said:

"Maybe it! I was the one who made this decision. Instead of consuming it like this, it would be better to take a risk."

There was a classic joke in the old world, peace-loving arms dealers, chaste prostitutes, liars who never lie, and politicians who combine the above three.

In politics, the world's most dirty and dark and evil elements have always been gathered. In order to fight for power and make personal gain, blood relatives will kill each other, and close friends will turn against each other. Everyone smiles kindly on the table and stabs each other with the other under the table. This is the case for those who engage in politics. In order to fight for power, all moral and legal norms in the world can be ruthlessly trampled on. This is the essence of politics. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, only cold and ruthless plots and naked interests and gains and losses covered with the blood of innocent people.

If a person believes that there is fairness and justice in the real world in which he lives, it is called innocence before he is thirty, and after he is thirty, it can only be called idiot.

There is a clear message in ancient times: I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Luo Zhengdao naturally could see that the enthusiasm and friendship that the elves and Yaling had for him were entirely based on his own value of use. In addition, he could not find any other reason to embellish the other party's motivation. Luo Zhengdao was unwilling to be a puppet to drive and shout for no reason, and worked for foreign races. After working hard, he was then killed by the donkey. This kind of thing was casually plucked the old paper pile in the history of the old world. It was really as numerous as a cow!

Whether it is based on rational judgment and analysis, or considering the problem based on personal emotional factors, Luo Zhengdao does not think that taking the initiative to run as a cover for alien races and puppets is a top choice strategy.

Since he is unwilling to be used, he must be prepared to take a path in a place without a road. What is the difference between time travelers and indigenous residents? The biggest difference is not the quality of personal qualifications. Before traveling, Luo Zhengdao was just an ordinary person who could not be found in the crowd. After traveling, he had a new identity as a magic card master, which is a double-edged sword. In his bones, Luo Zhengdao still has the intention of a grass-rooted citizen. What can a small grass-rooted citizen pursue? Thirty acres of land are a cow, and his wife and children are warm on the kang. Of course, this sentence is a little outdated. It is changed to having a car and a house and marrying a water-like girl, which is roughly in line with the ideal living conditions in reality. The pursuit of ordinary people is nothing more than this. So where is the fundamental difference?

A sense of mission! Everything has its inner rationality, and time travelers must also have a certain mission. This is an indisputable fact.

Luo Zhengdao has read countless time travel articles, and never found that any time traveler has lived a life of honest life. These predecessors are either actively or passively involved in the tide of the times. They are heroic and domineering, making a fortune in a low-key manner, and being more unlucky, and then they can only turn into a new generation of Tiansha lonely stars and wander around the world. If you have a little more bad luck, you will not have any masters who will go directly to get a box lunch. In short, this thing tests your character. In short, ordinary time travelers are the enemy of life and death of time travelers, and those time travelers who lack awareness will definitely die very ugly. Since you are a time traveler, you must be entangled in all kinds of troubles for the rest of your life.

If you don’t believe it, remember to watch the CCAV10 “Into Science” column, known as the supernatural burial mechanism, before traveling, look at the unlucky people who cry and shout that they are possessed by the xx people and various gods and demons. What will happen in the end!
