"We simply need to mind our interests," said the World Tree.
Hearing that, both Roland and Schuck put on a smile.
They were too familiar with the trick.
Everything could be negotiated if they wanted to fulfill interests.
Besides, they had already speculated that the elves were here for certain interests, probably the Meteorite Minerals.
Roland drank a mouthful of tea and said casually, "I wonder what you want us to pay, World Tree. We can talk about it as long as it's not too outrageous."
The World Tree's mood wasn't as great as the humans'. She thought that her opponents might have learned her requirement.
She glanced at them and eventually fixed her eyes on Roland. "You don't seem very interested in negotiating with us."
"Isn't it normal?" Roland opened his hands and said, "Nobody likes to talk gently to an invader."
