Chapter 972: Interspecies relationship



When it was over, the two of them both had satisfied looks on their faces showing that they had gotten what they wanted.

Once we saw this, both the Merman King and I let out sighs of relief.

We had been sitting there listening to them the entire time, but there were just too many technical terms that it had been hard to understand what they were talking about.

The only thing that I really understood was the price that they settled on.

It was actually a bit lower than the one that I quoted in the first place, but that was only because there were other conditions that were added into this. Along with the Glowing Seaweed, there would now be other things sent by the Merman Empire.

These would be things that would be used to trade for the lube.

These were precious products from the Merman Empire such as pearls and such that normally wouldn't be seen above the ocean. That made them very precious and valuable among humans.

However, there were plenty of these things that were found under the ocean which meant that they had no value at all to the Merman Empire. They were things that were considered trash in the Merman Empire.

Of course, it wasn't as if the Merman King and Queen didn't know the value of these items in human society. They had their connection to the Tide Empire and had trades with them, so they knew how expensive these things could become.

It was just that it would take a lot of time and effort to turn these things into money.

It wasn't as if they were lacking in money, what they needed more of was the lube that they were trading for.

So instead of spending all that effort to turn their trash into money, it was easier for them to just take this cheaper price to exchange for the lube.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In their eyes, the lube was worth more.

It was all about what an item was worth to each party.

But at the same time, it wasn't as if they could just ignore what the Merman King was saying.

So there was another awkward silence that lingered in the air before Elsa said, "Forget it. It's not something that we can talk about here since neither of us has the authority to accept this. At the same time, this is something that happened a long time ago, so there's nothing that can be done now."

Moon just gave a simple nod to show her agreement.

The Merman King and Queen gave an awkward nod before falling silent again.

It seemed that something had happened between the mermaids, the dwarves, and the elves in

the past.

It seemed that it was related to the racial wars of ancient times.

Since they were all from other races, it was most likely that they had once been allies that had their alliance broken because of something.

Once they had finished with this, the Merman King and Queen turned to look at me as if they had a question to ask me, but they didn't know how to ask me.

But seeing the way that they looked at me, I could guess what they were thinking.

I introduced both Moon and Elsa as my wives.

The Merman King and Queen were surprised to hear this since they had never heard anything

like this before.

Elves and dwarves choosing to marry a human...this was just too rare.

Not to mention marrying the king of a human country.
