Just a magical girl who picks up trash

In the minds of those arrogant tower masters, Jiuyue's words roughly mean: the ancestors of the current rulers of Tianyu City laid a barrier covering the entire Demon Realm thousands of years ago, and now their descendants have established the city of Tianyu City.

Tianyu City has been under the attack of such a powerful alliance for such a long time but has never been conquered. This will obviously make the top leaders of the Demon Realm think that the other party is using the same technology as the Demon Realm's barrier. In this case, their first thought is not to support Tianyu City to repay the kindness of the other party's "ancestors" who set up the barrier thousands of years ago, but to think about the other side.

That is... if we can obtain this technology from Tianyu City, wouldn't it be a major breakthrough and progress for the development of the Demon Realm?

Things like time travel and a thousand-year lifespan were something that even magicians would not think about due to their limited vision. Therefore, after Jiuyue explained this, naturally no one would believe that Jiuyue, this seemingly stunningly beautiful woman, was actually a thousand-year-old witch who had lived for thousands of years and survived the Silver Disaster in the Demon Realm a thousand years ago.

What is even more unbelievable is that the current young city lord of Tianyu City, Yu Huan, is actually a person who can travel through time and space, and even go back a thousand years to save the entire Demon Realm from the Silver Disaster.

Of course, even if they knew, there would be no gratitude. History is just something that can be forgotten after reading it. No one will really take the "stories" in it seriously. If they knew these two points, then they would most likely focus on the two people and conduct further research on "lifespan" and "time".

In view of this, under this strange and seemingly natural misunderstanding, the information received from the prophet became like this, and now she brought it up in this way, naturally not for casual chat, but for later purposes.

"Hmm~~"

He nodded noncommittally to indicate that he had heard what the other party said. This made the prophet glance at Yu Huan but still said nothing else. Instead, he continued:

"Just a few days ago, the Demon Realm sent a magician to discuss with me about the Orcs joining the alliance and cooperating in the campaign against Tianyu City."

When he said this, he glanced at Yu Huan and then at Xia Yu behind him. However, one of them had a blank expression, and the other had a pair of golden pupils that always gave people a feeling of inexplicable pressure that made it impossible to look directly at them. Naturally, the prophet could not see any information or emotional fluctuations that could be analyzed from their eyes.

In desperation, she was just about to continue speaking, but Yu Huan suddenly said:

"So... you're here to see me now because... you want to cooperate with us, Tianyu City?"

Yu Huan and others came from Tianyu City. This was not a secret and was not something that was intended to be kept secret from the beginning. After all, the reason why Yu Huan came to the Demon Realm before was more or less with the idea of ​​winning over the orcs.

However, facts proved that she was overthinking it. The "arrogance" of the orcs was obviously not enough to match their value of being won over. After seeing the various performances of the orcs along the way, from that saint to the current prophet, although the reason why they were so cunning might be because they were both from the fox tribe, this obviously subverted Yu Huan's impression of the orcs.

Wouldn't it be nice to be as cute as Xiao Miao or as loyal and trustworthy as Sister Xia Yu?

Why learn the cunning nature of humans when there are so many other things to learn? It's really...

He instantly lost interest in the Orcs. Now, talking to the prophet here was just to give Hu Churou a last bit of face, and to repay the other party for raising Hu Churou for so many years. However, the prophet's words of talking about the pros and cons first to create favorable conditions for himself... Although it was inevitable in negotiations, it was not very refreshing to listen to.

So you're ready to cooperate?

The simple and direct question left the prophet at a loss for words. After a long pause, he nodded gently. Regardless, this was indeed her goal. After acknowledging this, the next step was to discuss the distribution of the benefits of the cooperation...

"That's fine. If you want to cooperate, I can agree on behalf of Tianyu City. And then...is there anything else?"

He nodded slightly and agreed to the so-called cooperation nonchalantly. Although Yu Huan, the mayor of Tianyu City, said this in a joking manner, it was obvious that there would be absolutely no one in the entire Tianyu City who would object, and no one would even raise any opinions.

Even if Yu Huan's decision was just a joke... they would nod lovingly... and then turn around and take care of all of Yu Huan's worries.

There is no doubt that everyone in Tianyu City has no bottom line when it comes to Yu Huan's indulgence.

Any thing else?

When Yu Huan finished speaking, he had already made an obvious move to leave again. However, this question made the prophet confused for who knows how many times.

What does "Is there anything else?" mean? What about sincerity in cooperation? What are the specific contents of the cooperation? What are the terms of cooperation?

My orc tribe has decided to cooperate with Tianyu City. Shouldn't you offer some benefits or make some interest exchange codes with us?

The prophet kept refreshing these thoughts in his mind. Finally, he took a deep breath. In order to avoid being led into the rhythm by the other party, thinking that this was a deliberate move by the other party, he immediately took the initiative and spoke first:

"The Great Forest Orcs will block the 'reinforcements' sent by the Demon Realm to the Alliance for you, so you don't have to worry about the Alliance's strength increasing due to the Demon Realm's support. At the same time, the Orcs can also sign a mutual aid pact with Tianyu City, and from now on, we will help each other. However, in return..."

Although he didn't want to get into Yu Huan's rhythm, the prophet, having already spoken, naturally wouldn't be polite. He stretched out his dry fingers and made a three, then looked at Yu Huan and said:

"You have to agree to my three conditions on behalf of Tianyu City!"

Beneath these serious words, this is undoubtedly the prophet's true purpose.

61. Negotiations continue

Under the circumstance of cooperating with Tianyu City in the name of "allies" and showing sincerity by "delaying" the Demon Realm, if the current situation of Tianyu City is really that of being attacked as the prophet guessed, perhaps he would nod and agree without hesitation in the face of crisis.

However, the prophet was obviously wrong in this regard.

Does Tianyu City need support?

When the situation is so good, it is definitely not necessary. Even if it is needed... to put it bluntly, what help can the orcs do?

In terms of combat power, with the mass-produced knights and magic wand system, it can be produced almost continuously. In terms of population labor, there is unlimited production of Xumagia. As long as there are materials, there is no possibility of shortage.

As for other aspects...it seems that apart from being cute, they are really not of much use, right?

But even if it's just for cuteness, it would be fine if it was a "weak" race like cats and sheep, but few girls like those hard and ferocious lions, tigers, etc., so it seems that they are not very suitable to be mascots.

In conclusion, it seems that apart from the aspect of faith, the addition of the Orcs has no other extra use to Tianyu City, and can even be said to be a burden.

Because they are partners, they naturally cannot use contracts similar to those of the Tianyu Army. This means that it is not surprising that the other party will tear up the contract and betray them at any time.

So the question is... If it is such a force, and if the other party does not take the initiative to come to the door, and because of Hu Churou's relationship, Yu Huan doesn't want to pay any attention to this guy, and he has his own "conditions" when discussing cooperation, can Yu Huan agree?

The answer is of course...

"tell me the story."

Looking at the prophet in front of him with a smiling expression, Yu Huan's words immediately made the prophet nod slightly and then spoke decisively:

"First, our Orcs and Tianyu City have a win-win cooperation relationship. We will provide assistance to Tianyu City when it is in danger. At the same time, if the Great Forest encounters a disaster, Tianyu City must also provide assistance."

It was a very reasonable request. After all, cooperation was about mutual help between both parties. Even after Yu Huan agreed to cooperate, at least this was a basic requirement that she would do without the other party saying anything.

"Second, the Orcs must protect their own rights. Tianyu City is only a partner, not our 'boss,' so you cannot harass or enslave the Orcs for any reason."

This sentence was obviously not only said for the current orcs, but also for the cats, sheep and other races that were taken away by Yu Huan.

However, to be honest, Yu Huan really didn't want to attack the other party on this issue, let alone enslave those guys. Since they were sent to Tianyu City, their living standards of good food, drink and accommodation were completely different from here. Now, let alone Yu Huan, even they themselves probably didn't want to come back a long time ago, right?

For the orcs who came out of the backward forest and were used to living in tent forests, where even their food was limited to "roasting" and "boiling", life in Tianyu City was like heaven, which was hard to describe.

In this case…what constitutes slavery?

To put it bluntly, even places like the "prison cell" and "service room" in Tianyu City are better than where the prophet lives.

"The third point..."

Yu Huan did not give any response to the first two points, but from her expression it was obvious that the prophet could see that Yu Huan did not care about these conditions, which meant that it was okay for the other party to agree to them. This made the prophet feel a little relieved. After all, there was a prophecy hanging over his head, and he had made these requests after careful consideration.

Yuhuan can just pack up and leave at any time, but the prophet obviously can't do that. As long as the prophecy is still hanging on the other party, Yuhuan can't leave the Orcs no matter what. Therefore, the prophet is actually afraid that Yuhuan will terminate the cooperation if they disagree.

Although in her opinion this cooperation is undoubtedly beneficial to the other party (given the current "dangerous" situation of Tianyu City), but from her previous understanding of Yu Huan's character, she could not be sure when the other party would lose his temper?

It was completely like the behavior of a child, but no matter whether it was Sang, Xia Yu or even Hu Churou, they all listened to each other. This was obviously what really gave the prophet a headache.

The other party agreed to the first two requests without a care in the world, which obviously made the prophet breathe a sigh of relief. Then his mind gradually became active. He looked at Yu Huan for a while and slowly made his third request, which was also his final request and ultimate goal, which was...

"Lord Divine Envoy, you will be stationed among the Orcs as a cooperative 'ambassador'. Don't worry, this is not a threat. We will treat you with the utmost courtesy..."

"no!"

The prophet's target was only Yu Huan. After all, the prophecy pointed to the other party. Perhaps there was also the possibility of relying on the other party to contact Tianyu City. Therefore, the prophet chose to cooperate with Tianyu City. But in the final analysis, because the prophecy was about Yu Huan, it was natural to keep him, which was the focus of the prophet's current cognition.

The third requirement was undoubtedly to retain Yu Huan in exchange for Tianyu City's sincerity in "cooperation". However, the prophet never expected that before he could finish his words, an interrupting voice suddenly sounded, but it did not come from Yu Huan, but from... Xia Yu.

The cat girl had obviously forgotten the principle of hierarchy at this moment. After hearing the prophet's conditions, she unilaterally chose to refuse without waiting for Yu Huan to speak. At the same time, her beautiful eyes looked at the prophet. The cold light flashing in her eyes at that moment undoubtedly made the prophet feel a palpitation and a look of surprise.

To be honest, it might be understandable that Yu Huan was casual with him. After all, he was not only a messenger of God but also a human being, so he didn't know the significance of the prophet to the orcs.

However, you have to know that Xia Yu is a cat, and she was once a cat princess, a legitimate member of the Orcs. Logically, as an Orc who has been influenced by the Prophet since childhood, she should have a certain respect for him. However, now she shows coldness and even... hostility towards him just because of a word from him?

Is Yu Huan’s position in Tianyu City so important?

As the "envoy", although it is certain that Yu Huan has the ability and is the "leader" of this group, he is only an ambassador on a business trip after all. Obviously, no one would guess that Yu Huan would be the real ruler of Tianyu City and a city lord-like existence.

Firstly, it was because of Yu Huan's appearance and his 'willful' character. On the other hand, it was because of the current situation of Tianyu City... When the whole world was targeting it, it was unreasonable for the city lord to come to a place like the Great Forest at this time.

Based on the above speculations, the prophet had not thought about it in any other direction, and therefore did not know Yu Huan's identity. He just thought that the other party might be the offspring of a powerful family in Tianyu City or a young and promising "official". Therefore, he invited Yu Huan to live in the Orc tribe with the sincerity of cooperation.

However, judging from Xia Yu's reaction now, it is obvious that the facts... are a little bit wrong?

"Sister Xiaoyu, calm down and leave it to me!"

Xia Yu's sudden outburst made the prophet raise his eyebrows, and there was obvious displeasure in his eyes. This was not only because of Xia Yu's offense to him, but also because she came here with the intention of saving the orcs. In this situation, Xia Yu, who knew nothing about God, actually contradicted him and helped outsiders. This was obviously not something the prophet could accept.

What was even more unacceptable was that facing the prophet's dissatisfied expression, Xia Yu not only did not retreat at all, but instead walked towards him and glared at him again.

However, after hearing Yu Huan's words, this look disappeared without any hesitation, and even the original hostility disappeared in an instant.

This left the prophet speechless, very speechless...

As an orc, you have never shown me such respect!

Perhaps it was with this complex feeling that Yu Huan looked over at this moment, casually spreading his hands and saying:

"I'm sorry, as you've heard, my identity... probably doesn't make me a good 'envoy'. So if you need someone to stay behind, you can find someone else. I think Chu Rou is quite good."

After all, he was brought up by the prophet. Although he now obeys Yu Huan's words, at least the prophet can be assured of the other party's quality. If it were normal, the prophet would obviously agree to Yu Huan's proposal without thinking. After all, compared to Yu Huan, Hu Churou is obviously the most suitable one.

Unfortunately, this is not a normal situation. The two previous conditions are just ancillary. The prophet's real goal is not Tianyu City, but Yu Huan herself. This is the reason why she proposed cooperation. However, if Yu Huan does not stay, what impact will a Tianyu City that is "precarious" in the hands of the alliance have on her orc tribe?

Thinking this in his heart, however, after hearing Yu Huan's obvious rejection, the prophet obviously began to have a headache thinking about how to deal with this situation.

Yu Huan was not in a hurry about this. He just waited silently for the other party to think. At the same time, his eyes, which were filled with a faint white light, kept watching the ups and downs of the various lines on the other party's body.

This prophet...seems to have a very rich psychological life!

62. Yu Huan's Plan

In the end... the cooperation was of course not successful, because the last condition was obviously due to the prophet's miscalculation and miscalculation of Yu Huan's identity. Today's cooperation can only be temporarily terminated... Of course, this is also because the prophet is unwilling to give up the third condition.

Although Yu Huan explicitly refused in this regard, the result was not the prophet's concession. Instead, not long after the prophet left, Xia Yu directly reported that many ratmen had been hiding outside around the villa and were being monitored without getting close to it.

"It's only natural. After all, I don't know why, but it seems like that prophet cares more about my future than his cooperation with Tianyu City."

With such an obvious attitude and Yu Huan being able to see the other party's emotional changes, it was not difficult to discover this. The only thing that was clear was that the other party seemed to have some kind of obsession with him, but he did not know the reason for this obsession. Perhaps it was related to... the prophecy?

After all, this is easy to guess. The prophets of all generations have passed down their language abilities, and this prophet obviously pays too much attention to Yu Huan. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the other party must have seen a prophecy about himself and the orcs.

Of course, the prophet could not foresee much of this kind of obvious prophecy, which could be seen from the fact that the other party tried to suppress him when he first saw him.

If the situation really came to a point where the orcs' survival was at stake, the prophet would never have such thoughts.

Of course, another reason is that we must know that Yuhuan is Oma Zi-O, the king of time. Even the prophet's own tiny language ability is a part of Oma Zi-O's power that was inherited from Yuhuan thousands of years ago and was separated from his body.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible to deduce the source of such prophetic power: that is, the future of Yuhuan, the Demon King.

"So what should we do now? Should we leave?"

Listening to Yu Huan's analysis, Xia Yu immediately asked this question. Yu Huan nodded indifferently and said:

"It doesn't matter. Leaving or not doesn't make much difference to us. What I'm thinking about now is something else."

Speaking of this, Yu Huan's eyes flashed with interest as if she had thought of something interesting. Xia Yu on the side also looked at her at the right time, but at this moment there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Normally, when Yu Huan showed this kind of expression, it must be a reaction to new attention. Although this kind of reaction does not seem to be saying bad things about their boss, for them... it is definitely something worth worrying about.

"what?"

Of course, thinking this in his heart, Xia Yu looked at Yu Huan's 'quickly ask me' expression and expectant eyes, and finally asked. Yu Huan immediately smiled mysteriously and replied:

"I'm thinking... should I just stay here?"

It is obvious that since he is related to the future of the Orcs, the prophet will definitely not let Yu Huan be in any danger. Not only that, in order to keep Yu Huan and even win him over to the Orcs, the Orcs will definitely try every means to win him over and even please him.

Of course, we could also imprison her or something, but what if Yu Huan committed suicide?

The prophet definitely didn't want Yu Huan's corpse, otherwise he wouldn't have been so patient in talking to him. In view of this, if Yu Huan could stay, the treatment he would enjoy would definitely be unique.

even……

"If I stay, on the one hand, I can gradually 'control' the orcs, just like Chu Rou said before, and on the other hand, I can also harvest the orcs' faith... After all, I am a messenger of God, right? This is exactly my job!"

Thinking so in his mind, he even thought that Hu Churou had thought about becoming the next prophet of the Orcs before. If he helped the other party succeed, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking over the entire Orc forest?

As he thought this, a perfect plan seemed to be slowly taking shape at this moment. However, Xia Yu on the side not only did not support him, but even with her calm personality, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yu Huan and said helplessly:

"I understand the benefits of you staying, but have you ever thought about the downsides?"

She asked this, but Yu Huan was slightly stunned:

"Bad thing? What bad thing?"

After thinking about it, it seems that if I stay, it will only benefit both parties. How could there be any harm?

"Will those girls in your family be so angry that they will wipe the Great Forest off the map and 'rescue' you who are being held as a 'hostage'?"

"..."

This one sentence instantly made Yu Huan speechless. It went without saying that what Xia Yu said was not just something that might happen, but a 100% inevitable result. However, since Yu Huan had already spoken out about this plan, did he really not think of this?
