I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 76: REPRESENTATIVE OF PEACE
It had been 2 months since Elos captured the entire territory of Marquis Nate, the inhabitants who previously looked very poor and hungry then they could now live well. At least they were no longer starving, even some of them started to grow with the amount of money they earned.
Today a young man wearing the clothes of a soldier came to the palace of Elos, the young man had a very worried face because Elos definitely called him not without reason. But he had no idea why Elos had called him, so he became worried.
This young man was none other than the one who threw Marquis Nate using a stone before, after that incident then he joined the Elos army and trained by Admiral Lumina for 2 months. More precisely Elos recruited 1000 soldiers in this city, among the soldiers then this young man was the one who joined.
When he reached the palace of Elos, Bare who became the head of the palace guard brought the young man to the workspace of Elos.
Bare only brought the young man to the front door of the most important palace before saying "I can only take you here, behind that door Lord Elos is waiting for you".
Then Bare went back to guard again while the young man opened the door carefully.
The door slowly opened, the young man could find Elos sitting at his desk and busy writing on the paper.
On the other hand there is Riona who helps Elos to do the task of managing this city and Kronev who is on guard, since his body became small then Kronev has no more obstacles to go to various small rooms.
The young man did not dare to raise his head, he walked to the front of Elos carefully before kneeling "My master, did you call me? As long as my master has a duty for me then I will do it without hesitation".
Elos, who was busy writing, stopped the movement of his hand, he put the stationery on the table and looked at the man "I've heard of you, you have the courage because you dare to throw stones at the Marquis even though he has become a prisoner, when no other city dwellers dare to do so. In addition, Lumina said that during this 2 months of military training, she considered myself an intelligent, loyal, and caring person for her colleagues. I appreciate all your talent, don't you mind telling me your name?".
Hearing Elos' question, the young man replied without hesitation "My master, my name is Ganfar".
"Alright Ganfar" said Elos who stood up from his seat before walking to the side of Ganfar who was still kneeling "Are you interested in becoming the mayor of this Novus City?".
"What?", Ganfar froze, never thinking that Elos was calling him here to be mayor.
"But don't be happy just yet, even if you're the mayor, that doesn't mean you're the most powerful person here. I will also choose the vice mayor who fights to observe you, you cannot dismiss the deputy mayor because only I can. After all I aim to build a labyrinth on Novus Island, how? Are you going to accept it? Didn't you hate Marquis Nate so much that he didn't use his powers properly, then why don't you become his mayor now. Show me, whether you are the same as Marquis Nate or you can really bring prosperity to this city" Elos said.
Ganfar who regained his senses knelt down without hesitation, there was firmness in his eyes "Ganfar must have always been loyal to the master and tried his best to manage this city".
Elos nodded before letting Ganfar go to select some of his comrades to help manage this city.
"I understand" Riona said nodding.
A knock on the door sounded, Elos said to the door "You can open the door".
The door slowly opened and a soldier stood there, saluting Elos "Report, the representative from the Ray Kingdom had already arrived at the waiting room and kept asking about when the master would meet him. Do I have to let him keep waiting or maybe make him get out of here?".
Elos waved his hand "No need, finally the representative of the Ray Kingdom came as well. Riona, Kronev, let's go see this representative".
the 2 people nodded before leaving their jobs, following and guarding Elos was much more important.
Elos and the others walked towards the waiting room, actually Elos had already gotten a letter from the Ray Kingdom some time ago that they were planning to reconcile. Therefore, they planned to send a representative here in order to resolve this matter without going through a war.
Elos opens the waiting room door to find a man with short blonde hair as well as the luxurious attire of a noble.
Seeing the arrival of Elos, the man immediately stood up "Master Elos, pleased to meet you. My name is Riste, Marquis of Ray Kingdom. I came here today to discuss peace with our Lord Elos and the Kingdom of Ray. Our Ray Kingdom argues that resolving this issue by peaceful means is much better".
This Marquis Riste bowed politely to Elos so that Elos slightly nodded "My name is Elos, the person who recently defeated Marquis Nate and the ruler of the Animal Man Kingdom. Let's sit down and say, what conditions does the Ray Kingdom need in order to make peace".
Marquis Riste sat down cautiously, based on the Marquis's polite demeanor then Elos felt the possibility of peace was quite high.
However, this Marquis was not as arrogant as the previous representatives of Marquis Nate, this showed that the Kingdom of Ray was determined to be at peace.
As they were already seated, Marquis Riste said again "Master Elos need not worry, the terms of the king of Ray Kingdom are very light. You only need to return all the territory that you have taken from Marquis Nate back to the Kingdom of Ray, then give money as payment for the death of Marquis Ray and the residents of the Kingdom of Ray when fighting. According to the calculations of our Ray Kingdom, the loss that master Elos had to pay was 100,000 gold coins. However our king was so good that he decided to eliminate half the cost of Lord Elos, therefore lord Elos only needed to pay 50,000 gold coins to our Ray Kingdom".
Elos who was previously convinced that the Ray Kingdom was determined to peacefully instantly change his face, this was a huge fraud!
Why did Elos have to return all the territory he controlled from the war against Marquis Ray? In addition, Elos still has to pay compensation. Elos will certainly not agree to this condition, although the Kingdom of Ray is strong but that does not mean Elos is afraid of them.
Elos's face had now turned cold, knowing that the war against the Ray Kingdom already had no chance for peace anymore.
