Now that both sides have agreed to cooperate, the next step is to discuss the specific details of the cooperation.
A lengthy negotiation was held in the Royal Palace of Lai Yin.
The negotiation lasted two full days, and it was only in the third afternoon of Su Yu’s arrival in the Lai Yin Empire that it finally ended.
However, it was worth celebrating that in the afternoon of the same day, both parties finally reached a mutually satisfactory cooperation intention, ready to officially sign a contract based on this intention.
Throughout the negotiation process, Su Yu had been communicating with Alyssa, who was still in the Imperial Capital of Goldfinch, using Lai Yin’s magic communication, explaining the negotiation process in detail.
Alyssa was quite satisfied with this cooperation intention, agreed to sign the contract, and authorized Su Yu to sign on her behalf.
Upon receiving Alyssa’s authorization, Su Yu signed the contract on behalf of the Goldfinch Empire.
The Emperor of Lai Yin also solemnly signed the contract, which officially took effect!
“Nemesis, glad to cooperate!” Anduin, who had been standing next to Su Yu the whole time, extended his hand to him.
He said this on behalf of the Emperor of Lai Yin, who sat tens of meters away because he was worried that Su Yu would blow himself up.
“Glad to cooperate!” Su Yu shook hands with Anduin with a smile.
…
Now that the contract was successfully signed, Su Yu was still thinking about the contents of the contract.
Overall, the constraints in this contract were not strong.
In terms of war, neither side intended to form a joint army, but they would independently attack the Kingdom of Wind Chime, with the land captured going to the first nation to occupy it.
However, the contract stipulated that both armies should cooperate, try to reduce contradictions, mediate differences, not hinder each other, and all work together for the victory of the war.
There was also a very important part at the end of the contract – food.
In view of the fact that the military strength of the Goldfinch Empire far exceeded that of the Lai Yin Empire, the Lai Yin Empire to granted 60,000 tons of food to the Goldfinch Empire, enough for the 500,000-strong army of Goldfinch to eat for four and a half months.
These were the main contents of the contract, overall, it was quite simple.
This was more or less what Su Yu had expected.
Actually, the simpler the contract was, the easier it was to execute. The more complex it became, the more difficult it would be to execute.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with this contract.
…
After the contract was signed, the Lai Yin Emperor, unable to support his aged body, left to rest at his sleeping palace.
As for Su Yu, he, along with Anduin, Khadgar, and Sylvanas, went to retrieve the grains from the largest grain store in the Lai Yin Empire.
The Grain Store was located in the seaside city of Golden Beach at the northeastern part of the Lai Yin Empire.
The Golden Beach City in the Lai Yin Principality is equivalent to the Pearl City in the Empire of Goldfinch, it is the largest coastal trade city in the country, with a rich city, densely populated, and a thriving industry and commerce.
The northeastern grain store was located at the southwestern part of Golden Beach City, it was a particularly important area of the empire, guarded by heavy troops all year round.
Outside the granary gate, a sudden flash of white light, a huge silver-white teleportation array formed on the ground.
Su Yu, Anduin, Khadgar, and Sylvanas appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
Actually, according to Su Yu’s strength, it’s impossible to teleport with so many high-ranking characters (the Grain Store is about 1100 kilometers away from Lai Yin Empire).
But this time, Khadgar was there to help, Khadgar input a large amount of magical power into the teleportation array, finally barely making the group teleportation possible.
However, after the teleportation, Su Yu’s mana was almost depleted, with only about 15% left.
He took out a bottle of [Master Level Mana Potion] and drained it at once, also throwing a bottle to Khadgar at the same time.
Khadgar accepted the potion, but he wasn’t willing to drink it.
Seeing Su Yu drink the potion in one gulp, he sighed, “Your Excellency Nemesis, this is a master-level healing potion, 2 million spiritual energy coins a bottle. Isn’t it a bit wasteful to drink it now?”
The [Master Level Mana Potion] can recover from 50% to 18% mana of a Sanctuary mage in 3 seconds (decreasing with the level increase), for mages whose lives depend on their mana, it’s totally worth the high price of 2 million.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu wasted 2 million in one gulp.
“It’s okay.” Su Yu laughed heartily, “The only thing I don’t lack is spiritual energy coins… how about I give you some potions, consider it my payback for your magic guidance during this time.”
After saying that, Su Yu directly took out 10 bottles of the exact same [Master Level Mana Potion] from his necklace and handed them to Khadgar.
During the two days of negotiation, Su Yu would cling to Khadgar every night to learn arcane magic. It was only fair to give him some rewards.
Plus, these [Master Level Mana Potions] were all crafted by Su Yu using his [Point Star Hand] talent, with a cost of only 1.11 million per bottle, not particularly expensive.
“Thank you so much!” Khadgar didn’t refuse, accepting Su Yu’s gift straight away.
By receiving a gift worth 20 million at once, Khadgar felt very pleased, his displeasure at wasting time teaching Su Yu in the past few days vanished in an instant.
“He’s a friend worth making!” Khadgar squinted, thinking in his heart.
At the same time, he took out a magic book from his storage space and handed it to Su Yu, “Your Excellency Nemesis, this is the findings from my many years of researching arcane magic, I’ll give it to you now.”
“Thank you!” Su Yu reached out with both hands to take the magic book.
He was naturally interested in this kind of magic book with the recorded findings of a legendary mage.
At the same time, he also used the [Insight] spell to check the properties of the magic book:
[Legendary Mage Kardega’s Magic Book]
Offhand equipment
Quality: Legendary
Item introduction: Legendary mage Kardega uses it to record his understanding of arcane magic, it is very valuable.
Item attributes:

2, Additional skill [Arcane Intelligence (Passive)]: When holding this magic book, your understanding of arcane spells +30%.
4, Additional skill [Summon Arcane Legion]: Summon 10 [Arcane Puppets] to fight for you, the attributes of the [Arcane Puppets] depend on the strength of the summoner, cooldown time 24 hours.
5, Additional skill [Greater Arcane Wisdom]: Increases the intelligence of all friendly characters within a 400-meter radius by 10%, the duration is 1 hour, the cooldown is 1 hour.
Khadgar’s magic book turned out to be a legendary weapon!
Although this weapon was not as powerful as Su Yu’s other equipment, such as the [Moon God Clan Badge], it was still a decent one.
Anduin was silently watching Su Yu and Khadgar exchange gifts, but didn’t say anything.
After the two of them had exchanged gifts, he smiled and said, “You guys wait here, I’ll go take care of the procedure for taking the grains.”
“Alright.” Su Yu nodded.
Anduin bid farewell to the three of them and headed to the military command center of the grain depot to show the command document from the Emperor of Lai Yin to General Mekron.
After General Mekron verified the document, he personally received Su Yu and others.
