Chapter 545 Forming An Alliance Part 1
"You are Blake Harris, you said?" The man asked. He, too, was able to speak Blake\'s language, which made things much easier for Blake.
"I am. I am the ruler of Destiny City. I came across your island as we were passing by. It is not on any of our world maps, and after talking with your daughter and seeing the technology here, I knew it was not from this world. As I am sure you have heard already, you have come to a world under siege." Blake began. "The devils have taken over the land on the ground and are rounding up the other races to use as slaves or just killing them outright for fun. We have no way of stopping such a huge force at this time, so my people are biding our time. We are slowly creating new technology that is a mix of magic and science."
"I see. Your powers are great. To think that you would have an enemy that was stronger than the cyber beasts. You have done something that no one in my time or prior has ever done, and that is taking control of a cyber beast. Even our Armored Knights have trouble fighting them as they are. But you spent a few minutes and took over not just one but many. I can see them from the castle, and I am quite amazed." The king, whose name was Finaal was shocked seeing the cyber beasts so close to the city and so many at that. He almost ended up moving all his men to protect the civilians.
"I do apologize if I caused any unrest. It was not my intention to bother the citizens, but, I figured this was the best way to show you what me and my people are capable of. I came here to offer a trade and an alliance." Blake finally got to the point now that the pleasantries were over. "Wish to form an alliance in which my people will come to your defense and will also, take care of any cyber beast threats in exchange for knowledge on your cybernetics and armored knights. While we have many kinds of technology in my city that you probably do not have here, the world before magic was reintroduced that was built on science was not as advanced as yours."
"Hmmm… so in exchange for helping us when we need it, you wish to have our technology?" Finaal rubbed his chin and gave a long look at Blake. "What reassurances do we get that you will truly protect us? How do we know that you tell the truth about these devils as you call them? There are a lot of what ifs. While we are new to this world and you are indeed powerful from what I understand, but that does not mean I can just give up technology that might protect us from you."
Finaal was wary of Blake\'s power but at the same time, he had to stand his ground. As a king, he could not act weak when it came to negotiations.
"Then how about this…. If you have a video recording device, I can take Princess Danaphine with me to record the happenings on the mainland. She can even visit my city and record what my city is like. With not only a first hand experience from your daughter as well as a video on one of your own devices that I have never seen or touched before, but it should also give you some peace of mind or at least show that I am not lying." Blake could only prove what was going on.
"I guess that is true." Finaal thought for a moment then looked at his daughter. He felt a little conflicted sending his daughter with this man but she had already traveled with him for a few days so he could guess he was at least worthy of trust to protect his kin. "I will request that you keep one of your people here. As you taking my daughter it is only right that one of your people stay here."
"That is fine. Actually…." Blake thought for a moment before waving his hand, a purple screen appeared in front of him and Mina came into view. He had made a version of Ishtar\'s portal using astral energy.
"Hmmm? Blake!" Mina cried out excitedly. "You have been gone for days! Where are you?"
"I am in a sitting room within the castle on the island we discovered. Mina, I need you or one of the other girls to do me a favor and sit as a kind of insurance while I take the princess of this kingdom to see and record the devils and Destiny City." Blake only realized after he spoke that he made a big mistake contacting Mina. But out of his wives, she was the one with the most free time.
"Oh? A Princess?" Mina stuck her head through the purple window and looked around. She saw Princess Danaphine sitting next to Blake and clicked her tongue. She held her in mockery as she said: "Fine. I don\'t mind. But just know if they try anything funny I will destroy the city."
"I understand. And thank you." Blake was not thanking her just for being a kind of hostage for a little while, but thanking her for holding in her mocking so that he would not lose face in front of a leader of another kingdom. Luckily Mina still had some of her princess traits in her.
"Yeah, yeah. But just know you will get an earful later on."
