Lucya's reasons and logic is reasonable, but according to the information Danica received from Philis, the Holy See of Light did not have any tendency to support Verus. However, Lucya could not speak nonsense at this time. Could this be Carl's personal thought? He has the courage to leave the Holy See behind and form an alliance with Verus?

Lucia's words made all the plans that Danica and Philis studied last night invalid, and she needed more information to support her in order to make a final decision.

Danica said in a slow tone: "This is really tricky. You know, the Holy See... the Holy See is not that easy to mess with."

Lucia inspired Danica and said, "As far as I know, you are not a timid person."

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not a person who is afraid of risks, but since I take such a big risk, I have to pay it back!"

Lucia said, "You will get my full support."

"Lucia, your sincerity is not very good!" Danica sneered, "If you plan to go against Virus, you must support me."

"Then what kind of sincerity do you want?"

Danica narrowed her eyes and said, "If you want to get my support, you can, but you must set Carl as the primary goal." This is a condition she thought of temporarily. As for whether it is the best condition, I don't know, but at least it is a condition that makes Lucya very embarrassed, which is enough. Danica is really afraid that if she says a condition, Lucya agrees in one go, she will not end.

Sure enough, Lucyya didn't speak, leaned on the sofa and pondered, weighing in her heart what kind of changes would bring to the situation if she agreed, and whether this change would be beneficial or harmful to herself.

After a while, Lucya spoke, "What kind of support do you plan to give if I agree?"

Danica smiled and said, "This is not an easy thing. We still need to discuss carefully what to do. Should you come here to have afternoon tea with me this afternoon?"

Lucia has heard that Danica often holds afternoon tea here, but the specific time is not clear. She asked, "Okay, when?"

Danica smiled and said, "It's about two o'clock in the afternoon!" This discussion may have lasted for a long time, so it's better to start early!

"Oh, OK," Lucia said with a smile, "But your afternoon tea started quite early!"

Danica said dismissively: "It's just a form. I just hope to have a good chat with my friends. There are not so many rules. Sometimes I arrange the so-called afternoon tea party in the morning."

Lucya stood up and nodded and said, "Okay, I will attend on time."

It is already past ten o'clock now, and these few hours are a critical moment for them to collect intelligence and prepare for negotiation chips. The afternoon will be a difficult negotiation.

After Lucia left, Phyllis walked down from the second floor and came to the living room and said, "Will Carl support Virus?" She clearly heard the conversation between Danica and Lucia through a simple alchemy equipment on the second floor. The key information Lucia gave was something she had never known before.

Danica's face was also a little serious and said, "This needs to be comprehensive. Aishue, you go and invite Tyran and Elizabeth to come to me for lunch. We need to get together."

"Elizabeth? Is she coming too?" Phyllis raised objections. If the negotiations with Lucya went well, they would discuss how to deal with Carl in the afternoon. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be a saint of the Holy See next to him?

Danica hesitated for a moment and said, "But if you don't call her over here, it's not conducive to the unity of our alliance. This way, Ai Xue, you go and invite Elizabeth in person and reveal to her the purpose of this party. It's best if she's willing to come. If she doesn't want to, it's fine. By the way, you can bring me something when you go out."

What Danica and Philis didn't expect was that Elizabeth did not avoid it, but agreed to come.

After a simple lunch, the four girls sat on the sofa. Danica said first: "Lucia came to me this morning. I believe everyone can guess what to do. The first formal confrontation of this trial should have appeared between the two representatives of the Beast Clan. To be honest, it was beyond my expectations for them to suppress them for so long before they took action, but now it seems that they have prepared almost."

Tyran asked, "Is Lucyya here to seek our support?" During this period, she also made up for common sense in international relations and could guess the purpose of Lucyya coming here.

Danica nodded and said, "Yes, she came to seek my support, or our support, but whether we want to support and what kind of rewards we will get if we support, these need to be discussed carefully."

Taylan took the initiative to say, "I don't understand these very well. I will support all the decisions you made." Taylan just added some common sense during this period. It is unclear how to operate it to win enough benefits. However, she believes in Danica. If Lucia doesn't pay enough price, Danica will never let it go.

Danica nodded and said, "It won't be a big problem if it's just a Virus, but today Lucia also revealed a key message to me. There are signs that Virus has reached an alliance with Carl, so things are complicated."

After pausing, Danica continued: "According to information, Verus did often go to and from the church where Carl is during this period, but we don't know what he talked about." As she said that, she also glanced at Elizabeth.

Seeing Danica come over, Elizabeth organized the words and said, "I have heard a little about this, but I remember Danica, you said that Carl is just a candidate to participate in the trial sent by the Holy See of Light. His purpose is to win the final victory, and for this he can do everything he thinks is necessary."

Elizabeth said this sentence a bit vague, but Danica must confirm this key message. She asked step by step: "Although we are all competitive in Kenst, in fact, I think everyone here has no intention to go against the Holy See, so I want to be clear, Carl does not represent the Holy See, right?"

Elizabeth still did not answer positively, just said: "Carl cannot fully represent the Holy See."

Danica wanted to ask something, but at this time Philis said: "Okay, I think I know it. To be honest, although the Elf Court and the Holy See of Light did not confront each other, the relationship was actually average, but this did not prevent Elizabeth, you, from becoming my friend."

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Philis to say this. She said carefully: "Yes, this does not prevent us from becoming friends. I have full trust and goodwill for His Highness Philis and the Elf King."

Tyran could not understand this large amount of diplomatic rhetoric, but Danica could still understand something. If she was right, the key to this situation was factional dispute. Danica had heard Philis talk about before that the Holy See was not as united as expected. Although it was not as close to civil war as the orcs, it was common for different factions in the Holy See to have different opinions in the Holy See. Now it is estimated that the faction behind Carl advocates cooperation with Verus, but the faction behind Elizabeth is more inclined to Lucia. Although it is a bit messy, this at least explains why Elizabeth appeared here. She came here to show her attitude, mainly showing Philis that the Holy See did not fully support Verus, and they are actually in the internal coordination stage.

"Okay." Danica said, "If that's the case, we can be sure that between Lucia and Virus we tend to support Lucia, no problem?"

Phyllis said: "There is no problem with this. The key is how we support it and what kind of rewards we can get."

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Danica laid a small round table on the balcony on the second floor of the Villa Eischer, the Kenste branch of the Kenstein Branch of the Eischer Chamber of Commerce. Danica, Phyllis, Tyran and Lucia sat down around the table - it was really inappropriate for Elizabeth to appear again at this time.

In this case, Ai Xue was still the maid. After serving tea and snacks, she stood beside her.

Danica, as the master, said first: "Lucia, I hope you can understand my difficulties. The risk of fighting against the Holy See of Light is too great, so I have to make some demands to convince my allies."

It was against Willus and Carl, not against the Holy See of Light, Lucy muttered in her heart, but she didn't say it. Danica just wanted some benefits, which was very obvious.

Lucyya nodded and said, "I understand, please tell me what you want."

Danica said: "First of all, I hope to increase the fur transactions between the Aishi Chamber of Commerce and the Beast Clan. My hope for the Beast Clan, I mean that 60% of the fur produced by the Beast Clan can be sold through the Aishi Chamber of Commerce."

"Sixty percent?" After hearing this, Lucia's little cat was furious. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I don't have that great ability, and the entire shaman faction does not have that great power."

Seeing Danica's disbelief, Lucia said with a wry smile: "I really didn't lie to you. The beast tribe is not like the Elf King's Court. The political structure is relatively loose. The chiefs of each tribe of the beast tribe have considerable power. Even the beast kings could not force them, let alone me. Furry is an important bulk export project of the beast tribe. Many beast tribe chiefs have fixed cooperation partners. I can only try to increase the share of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce as much as possible."

Danica thought for a while and said, "Okay, I hope you are not perfunctory. After all, this is related to whether we can cooperate in the future."

Lucya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a short-sighted person. Even if... I still maintain a cooperative relationship with the Aishi Chamber of Commerce?" There were a few words in Lucya that were very vague, probably because she was talking about Danica who was framed by her and almost died.

Danica smiled and said, "I believe in your credibility, and there is one more thing. I hope to reach a cooperation project with you through the Aishi Chamber of Commerce."

“What project?”

“The cultivation and breeding of military horses.”

"Military horse?" Lucyya was stunned. The representatives of these forces had only one or two thousand mercenaries in Kenster, and the city was the main battlefield. Do we need military horses?

Like Phyllis, Lucia quickly guessed Danica's purpose, and she was planning for the future: Danica could obtain precious military horses from Lucia; with her good relationship with Tyran, she could trade from the Druids to a large amount of food; and because she often deals with the Aishe Chamber of Commerce, Lucia also knew that the Aishe Chamber of Commerce had close minerals and steel transactions. Steel weapons were an important business of the Aishe Chamber of Commerce, so that weapons were also available. With these three aspects of support, anyone could easily establish a kingdom in the chaotic central region, let alone Danica.

To be honest, Lucia was a little envious. She also wanted to build her own kingdom like Danica, without having to get deeply involved in political struggles and work hard every day. However, Lucia was purely this mountain looking up to the high mountain, and establishing a kingdom independently was more troublesome and more complicated than she thought.

Lucia said cheerfully: "Okay, we can work together to carry out this project."

Danica said: "The specific details are discussed by the people below. I hope that the horse farm can provide 5,000 troops every year. In addition, the main management of the horse farm needs to be controlled by the Aishi Chamber of Commerce."

Lucya frowned and supplied 5,000 troops every year. This is already a large-scale horse farm. Danica will really have problems with herself.

Lucya rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I have two requirements. First, I need to decide the location of the horse farm. Such a large horse farm covers a wide area and cannot be established anywhere. It can only be built within my sphere of influence. In addition, the actual management of the horse farm must be jointly responsible by my people and the Aixue Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the horse farm belongs to me in name - it is difficult for me to explain to the beast tribe that a human commerce raising military horses in such a large area of ​​the grassland circle."

Danica thought about it and said, "Yes, there is no problem here."

After Danica finished speaking, it was Phyllis' turn: "I hope to know the political tendencies of the shaman faction."

Lucia adjusted her mentality. Danica and Philis have completely different interests. Danica only needs to satisfy her own interests, and Philis has to consider the entire elves.

Lucia said: "You can rest assured that the Great Shaman of the Beast Clan and the Chief Elder of your Elf Clan are good friends for many years, and their friendship has been tested for thousands of years." Although Lucia is talking about private friendship, in their position, private friendship will also greatly affect the relationship between the two forces.
