Chapter 2063 Cautious?
In a conference room of the Stuart family's imperial palace, Minos was talking with envoys from the Continent of Beast.
Among the six beings in their humanoid forms, two were from the Dragon Tribe, while the others were from the Phoenix Tribe and the Great Mammoth Tribe, which were among the six strongest races in those lands.
Minos had just welcomed them, having invited not only these tribes to his state some time ago but also other powers from the Spiritual World, such as the Marine Empire and the Sky Whale Tribe.
However, these were the first to respond to his invitation, as Minos was closer to them or even close partners.
After they had all chatted casually about how things were going in their respective powers, Minos got right to the point. "Well, I don't want to waste too much time with unnecessary conversations. I know everyone here has things to do and worry about. I want an agreement with your forces to share the discoveries our people have made regarding the items left behind by the aliens."
These mid-level Demigods looked at Minos in silence for a moment, not underestimating him.
They were in Dry City, but that didn't mean they had seen the progress Minos' people had made. To welcome these beings on this day, the local government kept their most locally developed items in secret locations.
However, even if they didn't know the true strength of this state, the representatives of the Continent of Beast tribes could guess that Minos wasn't there just to get something for himself.
Minos was already well known throughout the Spiritual World. And with his many high-level achievements, none of these people thought he would call them to negotiate without having anything to give in return.
If he wanted to exchange information, it was likely that he would be confident in the progress he had made concerning alien methods.
"What exactly can you offer us? And what do you want?" The main representative of the Great Mammoths asked, looking into Minos' eyes.
Minos revealed. "What I'm offering you is the same as what I already offer the elves—everything I have on alien technologies and what I would have for the next 8 years. In return, I want you to share with me what you understand differently from what my people have already understood and also what you have managed to develop so far and in the next 8 years.
I don't care how you arrived at your conclusions. I'm just interested in the conclusions."
That was exactly what Minos did with the elves. Neither the members of the Aurae tribe nor the people of the Black Plain Empire told each other how they had achieved their breakthroughs against enemy technologies. All they had done was to share the last of the knowledge each side had developed.
He wanted to do the same with these beasts, to use the things he had already delivered to the elves and would deliver in the future, and to get new things that could help the empire advance more quickly.
If Aurae hadn't pushed him before, he wouldn't have done it because he knew how fragile the relations between the continents still were.
Even though almost all high-ranking beings agreed that they had to face the aliens and that they had to learn the enemy's methods, there was still enough time for internal wars to break out in this world.
All it would take would be for one group to overstep certain boundaries or expose more wealth than they should, for others to feel that it was worth starting confrontations.
Because of this, Minos felt he still had to be careful with his neighbors in this world, for the enemy was not yet close enough for them to be united as they should be.
That was also the reason why he hadn't considered talking about or showing any of his Divine Medicines, as he was almost certain that he would be killed or at least brutally attacked if others knew what he had.
He was careful with what he had in his Spatial Kingdom but also with what he was developing in the empire.
Since he was already giving things to the elves, he wanted to arm other powers in the world with the same kind of technology to limit the elves. At the same time, he could get new things.
Aurae had made the mistake of not demanding exclusivity from him, so Minos was making the most of the loopholes in his agreement with her!
"Elves? You have such a deal with the elves?" One of the Phoenixes asked curiously, not knowing about it.
Rumors had been circulating in the world that the Black Plain Empire and the elves had been involved in something in recent months. Few, however, knew the truth about what was really going on.
When Minos told them what it was, four were surprised to hear it, while the Dragons heard something they already knew.
The Dragons hadn't approached Minos to make a similar deal because they didn't want to disrespect Aurae.
But from the looks of it, Minos didn't have the same level of respect for a God that the Dragon Tribe had!
Since he initiated this agreement, these Dragons were naturally less afraid of it being seen negatively by Aurae. That was Minos' doing, not necessarily theirs!
"Yes, we've been doing this for two years." Minos smiled as he confirmed it, while those who had just discovered the truth became more interested in his proposal.
'If the elves have made such an agreement, even though they are one of the most advanced with alien technologies, it means that the Black Plain Empire has also made good progress.' The strongest phoenix there thought before looking seriously into Minos' eyes.
"Very well, I'm willing to make this deal possible. I'll have to communicate with my tribe, but in six months at the most, we can start our joint efforts if everything goes well."
"The same for my tribe." The Great Mammoth said, thinking more or less along the same lines as the Dragons and the Phoenixes there.
Minos smiled when he heard that and got up from where he was to greet each of them.
"Haha, that's good. With an agreement between our groups, the Spiritual World will become a stronger and safer place. Maybe we can even work together to deal with the radicals better because of this agreement."
They agreed with Minos because even though they had fewer problems with radicals on their continent, the problem of rebels had arrived there as well.
