After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

"Although the headquarters of the Astronomical Society has moved to the Kingdom of Gracia, some of the Astronomical Society's permanent institutions will remain in the Star Province."

This explanation made the imperial representative feel a little better.

Stevenson was nominally an imperial vassal, but Egelina was not.

She had already transferred all her territories to the Kingdom of Gracia through a series of operations such as fiefdom exchange.

The title of Duke of Star was inherited by Stevenson's young son, but the chief of the Stargazing Society was not hereditary, so the little guy temporarily stayed away from the power center of the Stargazing Society.

Although he did not want to accept the fact that the Stargazing Society's headquarters had been relocated, the imperial representative knew that this matter was beyond his control and could only report the matter to the country after the funeral.

Representatives from other countries also sensed something unusual in this change.

What is the purpose of the Astronomical Society? To study astrology and divination.

What they are best at is grasping the direction of the long river of destiny and never going against the wind.

Egilina's choice to deeply bind herself with the Kingdom of Gracia shows that she is very optimistic about Roland.

While those with short-sighted vision are still lamenting the change in the Stargazing Society’s style, those with long-term vision are already thinking about how to invest in advance and cooperate with Roland.

The Astronomical Society judged that Roland's luck was on the rise, so they decided to go all in.

Because they make judgments, other countries follow suit and invest.

Because everyone is optimistic that the Kingdom of Gracia will prosper.

It is difficult to say whether it is fate that guides the Astronomical Society to make decisions, or whether the Astronomical Society's decisions reflect the direction of the long river of luck.

Of course, they are the only ones who would worry about these things, and the astrologers of the Stargazing Society see this very clearly.

“It’s part of destiny.”

After Mr. Stevenson was buried, the representatives of various countries were not in a hurry to leave.

The relocation of the Stargazing Society's headquarters had a huge impact. These diplomatic envoys reported the situation to their families while doing their best to fight for the interests of their countries.

The representatives of the three major religious organizations were the first to leave. They had only a common cooperative relationship with the Astronomical Society, and even regarded each other as pagans because of their different beliefs, so naturally they would not stay for long.

Also leaving at the same time were representatives of the Holy Essen Empire.

Their high-profile departure was also an expression of their dissatisfaction.

But these actions are more like impotent rage.

As long as the Astronomical Society doesn't commit suicide on its own initiative, who would want to offend a group of guys who are proficient in astrology and divination?

They know how to avoid danger and seek good fortune. Even if an empire wants to organize a star-gazing party, they will not be able to touch their clothes.

By the time the imperial army had assembled, the Astronomical Society had already fled to a distant land.

Egilina made many important decisions, some of which she discussed with Roland in advance, and some of which she made on her own.

Roland fully supports this.

He would rather see an Egelina who had her own opinions and could think independently, rather than a subject who would only say "Yes, Your Majesty."

There are too many people under his command who only know how to execute.

After seeing off the plenipotentiary representative, Roland walked to the balcony with a smile, looking into the distance, feeling good.

He was probably the busiest person during this period. After being favored by fate (Stargazing Club), almost everyone knew that he had a promising future, so they naturally wanted to get close to him.

Roland welcomes anyone who is sincere in cooperating.

Even if the relationship was not good in the past, you can still sit down and talk slowly.

Just as he was admiring the scenery, the sound of footsteps hurriedly approached.

Standing behind him was the elf secretary of state. She saluted and reported to Roland, "Your Majesty, the representative of the Southern Cross tycoon wants to see you."

"The Southern Cross Financial Group? This name sounds a bit like a goblin."

"Your Majesty is wise. He is indeed a goblin."

Roland, who was walking out, stopped, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't they know that the goblins and I are mortal enemies?"

The Secretary of State has no personal opinion and is simply repeating the other party's words.

"They claim that they are not your enemy and will not cut down old trees. They hope to discuss cooperation with you in person."

"A goblin who doesn't chop down trees? Interesting."

Roland accepted the meeting request and met with the goblin envoy in the small study.

The moment he saw the goblin, Roland narrowed his eyes and felt something strange.

The goblin representative in front of him, although not tall and plain-looking, looked more like a short human than a crude goblin.

More importantly, their skin is neither green nor red, but closer to wheat color.

Looking at the goblin representative's lavender pupils, Roland asked casually, "What is your relationship with the goblins who dominated the world back then?"

"Your Majesty is wise. My clan is the descendant of the master of the plane back then."

"Dominate the goblins?"

Roland's face showed no expression, and he felt a slight chill in his heart.

It's back, it's all back.

The race that once dominated the ancient era has reappeared.

He motioned for the other party to sit down and said with a smile: "Southern Cross is not the name of a tycoon."

"Your knowledge is indeed profound."

After his identity was revealed, the Ancient Goblin representative was not surprised, but said calmly: "Jaylen Brown, the representative of the Southern Cross Family, greets His Majesty Roland. I am here for peace and cooperation."

Roland looked at Jaylen without comment and said calmly:

"If you are not too out of touch with the news, you should know that I have had conflicts with the seven chaebols. Do you think this hatred can be resolved?"

"No."

Jay Chou spread his hands frankly and smiled slightly.

His frankness won Roland's favor, but Roland still couldn't understand his proposal for cooperation.

Facing Roland's curiosity, Jaylen raised his head and said, "The Overlord Goblins have nothing to do with these damn green-skinned and red-skinned creatures. They are just usurping the title of the Great Goblins and are also our enemies."

Roland's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.

Homo habilis and Homo erectus are both human beings, but they are definitely not of the same species, and the same goes for the goblins.

He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "I have a question, who will take the lead in our cooperation?"

Jaylen laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty Roland, it seems that you don't understand annihilation and return at all."

Without waiting for Roland to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "You should know that the material plane will restart every 10 billion years. All conflicts will be completely settled during the Great Annihilation."

"These 10 billion years are not evenly distributed in each era. The first era lasted for more than 9 billion years, but there was no life in the early days. The races at that time were strong and stubborn."

"After that, many races participated in the struggle for hegemony, but most of them were just passing through."

"We dominated the goblin tribe and had the opportunity to become the overlord that continued to rule. In fact, we almost did it until we split into two major evolutionary directions: goblins and dwarves."

"You and the dwarves were once the same race?" Roland looked at Jaylen in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

"According to the information I gathered, your blood relationship is not close."

Jaylen said disapprovingly: "That was a mutation later. Do you think we are the same race as these dirty and despicable goblins now?"

Roland didn't answer.

These slimy goblins are indeed not worthy of the super race that once dominated the plane.

But the goblin in front of him, with wheat-colored skin and a face similar to that of a human, did look very dignified.

He said calmly, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Jaylen smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to be anxious. If we don't make some things clear, we can't prove our sincerity in cooperation."

"The history of seven eras is very long, and many dominant races have appeared. And our dominant goblins are one of them."

Recalling his past glory, his eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed.

His smile showed a hint of helplessness and melancholy.

"Unfortunately, these dominant races are not the protagonists of the times."

"Huh?" Roland was a little surprised. What was going on? He originally thought that these powerful races returned to compete for the position of hegemony, but he didn't expect that they were just foils?

Jaylen calmed down and said with a smile:

"I don't want to go into the details, but the race that laughs last is the ultimate winner. Dragons, Titans, elves, or dominant goblins, they don't stand a chance."

These famous names once dominated a certain era.

Although dragons and Titans have never ruled an era alone, they have shared the throne of the world for the longest time, for billions of years, and their dominance is much higher than that of later generations.

They once occupied the best resources in the material plane, but did not receive the ultimate favor of fate.

If you are given an opportunity but fail to make use of it, you should naturally step down.

Although they were once powerful enough to cover the sky and tear apart the continents, and although they once created an incomparably brilliant technological civilization, it all came to an end in the end.

Even if they returned from the rift in time and space, they would no longer be able to compete for the highest supreme position.

They can either choose to act as destroyers, and let no one who can't get me get it, and die with the entire plane, or they can refuse to accept their fate and fight again, or they can look for a big brother.

The dominant goblin chooses to cling to someone else's thighs.

And one of the big men they identified was Roland.

“This is a wise decision!”

Roland smiled and stretched out his right hand to Jaylen. Jaylen quickly stood up, held Roland's hand, and said softly:

"Your Majesty Roland, I cannot represent all the dominant goblins at the moment. I can only represent the Southern Cross family, but I will bring you more."

"I believe that your investment vision is very unique."

Roland praised with a smile.

The strength of the Southern Cross family is not top-notch among the dominant goblin groups, but they are high-quality targets worth a fortune.

None of the people who invested in Roland early on regretted it, and the Southern Cross family is no exception.

After finalizing the details of the cooperation, which was called cooperation but was actually a surrender, both the guests and the hosts were very happy. Roland even opened a bottle of champagne himself to celebrate the cooperation between the two parties.

Jay Chou didn't expect Roland to take it so seriously, and he was a little flattered.

In its heyday, the Southern Cross Family was one of the top ten super families dominating the goblin race, and would not look upon a new king of the human race any differently.

But this is a different time and the situation is stronger than people, and now the Southern Cross Family is in a weak position.

Although they are very unwilling, the wise goblins respect the facts and will never make futile struggles.

Time is running out.

The deadline for the mass annihilation is getting closer and closer, and the window for peaceful development has long passed.

The competition in the future will only become more brutal and direct.

If the Nanmen Cross Family does not make a choice sooner rather than later, they will not even have the chance to choose.

The cooperation intention between Roland and the Southern Cross Family is simple. The Southern Cross Family provides technology and ancient relics from the Goblin Era, and Roland provides them with safe shelter and living space.

Although it was an era when magic dominated the world, the goblins still relied on technology to rule an era, which shows the value of goblin technology.

This is definitely not comparable to the logging machines made by the goblins nowadays.

After seeing off Jay Chou, Roland came to the balcony with a pensive expression.

It's time to speed up.

He could clearly feel the approach of the great annihilation.

According to normal calculations, the Seventh Era would last about a hundred thousand years, but now it seems that it would be good if it could last about ten thousand years.

Roland doesn't have much time left.

Just as Roland was receiving the goblin representatives, a group of short guys also walked into the palaces of the Frank Empire, the Holy Essen Empire and the Lisenburg Empire.
