Chapter 360: Forming A Plan To Get Elves

“So why do you need elves?” Runa asked as she turned my attention back to the problem the dwarves had brought up.

“We are working on many projects, but we need people who are more knowledgeable about runic inscriptions. But I can’t show you what it is unless you are willing to sign a blood seal contract to never disclose anything you see.” Runa was considered a friend, but business was still business.

“Okay!” Runa answered without hesitation. She even looked very excited to see what I was working on.

I sighed and waved my hand, creating a blood seal contract, I have created so many now that I can do it with my eyes closed. In seconds Runa had signed the contract and hurried me to show her the projects.

It was not until she saw with her own eyes the massive production happening underground did her mouth drop to the floor. “This…. Faith, where did you kidnap so many dwarves!?”

“Haha! Lass, she did not kidnap us. We all willingly followed her. We wanted to work on the project, but we need the help of the elves and their knowledge in runic inscription to help with the magical arrays that will need to be created in order to make replicas of the technology here. After all, even our teleporters were all worked on in a combined effort between our two races.” Thurul replied as he walked up. He looked slightly haggard from all his all nighters.

“Thurul, I keep telling you to get some sleep. You can’t keep pushing on like this. Even if I heal you, the mental fatigue will be too much for you.” I said with a sigh.

“I was just heading that way now that I was at a good stopping point. The airship is still a long way from being understood, but it is almost completely disassembled and organized in what needs to be pulled apart first.” Thurul replied as he yawned. “I will leave you two lasses to do your thing. I need my shut eye.”

“Okay. Have a good rest.” I said as I waved goodbye to Thurul before turning to Runa. “So, as you heard, we need the help of the elven race to be able to complete a lot of our reengineering of these ships and vehicles. I had planned to make a visit to the elven kingdom at some point, but I felt a little off from contacting you to ask for a favor since we had not talked for a long time.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Runa punched my shoulder as she said: “I would definitely help my bestest friend! Anyway, let’s do this. After your coronation, I will send a notice to my father to send a delegation here. We can then discuss the terms of an alliance between the two kingdoms. My father has been wanting to make firmer ties with your kingdom after everything that has happened. He is afraid of the demon queen of the battlefield. The one who says a single word to kill millions of soldiers.”

“Hmmm? But I have to say two words….” I replied, correcting Runa as I tilted my head to the side. How did ‘kill yourself’ turn into one word?

“One word, two words, they are the same thing!” Runa pursed her lips as she continued: “So, let’s do it like that. If we form an alliance with certain notations, the eleven kingdom will have a better chance of assisting you by lending you a few hundred magic researchers. The elven council is not like other kingdoms, and it runs like a parliament where things are discussed. If we were to send your request in now, it would only result in them ignoring it and moving on to other topics. But, if we form an alliance which can only be done by my father, the king…. Then we can push the topic in the parliament, and they will need to listen to my father’s opinion on the matter.

“By doing this, we are sure to be able to gain approval of sending over some researchers, even if they have to sign a blood seal as a show of faith that we are abiding by the alliance. Just make sure the alliance is formed with the notations that we have to help in any research your kingdom is undergoing as long as it is not used to attack the elven kingdom.” Runa made me very surprised at how knowledgeable she was.

“Faith, what is that dumb founded look that says, how can this elf who only has a one track mind know so much about her own governing system?” Runa questioned, bringing me out of my how does this elf who only has a one track mind know so much about her governing system, look.

“Because you are Runa…” I replied without much thought, causing Runa to yell out and stomp her feet.

“You! I am much smarter than you think!” Runa yelled in a huff.

I chuckled and apologized: “Sorry! Sorry! I was just surprised, is all. You make me feel like I might be a failure of a rule in the future as I have never undergone any training.”

I had to admit I knew absolutely nothing about ruling a kingdom and only had some lofty goals and visions. Whether they worked out or not is another story. But I did know one thing, and that was I wanted to protect this kingdom no matter what.

“I think you will be a fine leader. After all the things I have heard about you over the years, I can tell you love the people of this kingdom to the point that you are not afraid to single handedly cut the head off another kingdom’s king and claim the kingdom as your own. And then annex its vassal stats in the same way. So do not look down on yourself, Faith. You will do good.” Runa replied, but it only made me frown a bit more.

“You just made me sound like a mad tyrant….”
