Chapter 481: 157. Secret Negotiations_3
The meaty eye was located below the upper side of the door frame at the entrance of the Grand Hall.
Upon seeing Noland Lee and his companion, it quickly extended a long, thin strip of flesh in the air, transforming it into characters.
The flesh strip changed into several different languages one after another. When it transformed into the eighth character, Mabel and Noland Lee recognized the meaning of the character.
It was the word “one” in the ancient language of the Golden Dynasty.
Mabel had had experience communicating with extraterrestrial space pollution before, so she knew this was the other party trying to find a language to communicate with humans.
When the flesh strip changed into the character “one,” Mabel raised her right hand, summoning a water belt from the water sphere and likewise transforming it into the “one” of the Golden Dynasty language.
Both sides completed their language match and entered the communication stage.
The meaty eye’s “eyelashes” grew longer. It extended more flesh strips, quickly weaving characters in the air:
“I am the offspring of the Blood Sun Seal, descended upon this land in the 366th year of the Golden Dynasty…”
The meaty eye narrated its origin through characters.
Noland Lee compared it to the results of the deconstruction he had acquired earlier. The other party’s words were true and contained no lies for the time being.
Noland Lee was well aware that 90% truth, 10% lies were the most convincing and dangerous.
At this moment, facing the honest and forthcoming meaty eye, Noland Lee was full of caution in his heart, and he did not trust the other party with his few words.
Noland Lee subtly stole a glance at Mabel beside him.
This lady held her hands crossed over her abdomen, standing rock-solid, and she clearly didn’t believe the words of the meaty eye either.
She manipulated her water belt with her thoughts, occasionally interrupting the meaty eye’s weaving of characters, asking about details.
The questions she asked often verified previous answers, enough to identify possible traps in the characters.
Seeing her so cautious, Noland Lee secretly nodded in approval and felt more at ease.
Noland Lee focused on the characters woven by the meaty eye.
A line of characters woven by several flesh strips made Noland Lee sneer in his heart.
That meaty eye began to play tricks.
It had been speaking honestly and without problems. But when Mabel inquired about the origin of the “Winged Giant,” the meaty eye began to run away with the story.
In the eyes of Mabel and the others, the “Winged Giant” was clearly an Artificial Angel created by the Angel Enterprises Alliance. However, to the meaty eye, the “Winged Giant” had become a pet it had researched on its own.
These willful pets, due to losing control, had descended onto this world’s land without authorization. This led to the current extraterrestrial space pollution invasion.
Of course, “extraterrestrial space pollution invasion” was Mabel’s side’s description. In the mouth of the meaty eye, this was just a normal incident where the Blood Sun Seal had come to retrieve its lost control pets. The conflict it had with this world was all a misunderstanding.
In order to resolve the conflict between both sides, the meaty eye was willing to pay some price in exchange for the opportunity to return to outer space and merge with the Blood Sun Seal’s main body.
As for what the price was, considering its inevitable defeat, the meaty eye was willing to let Mabel set the terms. Its only request was to bring the out-of-control pets back to the Blood Sun Seal’s main body.
These were the meaty eye’s demands.
Should they accept its request?
Noland Lee personally did not intend to accept.
By directly killing the opponent, he could still use passive deconstruction to figure everything out.
In the last encounter with Shubick’s pollution zone, the Golden Commerce Guild’s armed alchemy ships had overwhelmingly taken the majority of the battles, and Noland Lee had no chance to snatch the final blow on the Tentacle Overlord.
Noland Lee was not willing to give up the opportunity to passively deconstruct the meaty eye.
But it was obvious that Mabel was a little swayed.
Not only her, but even the Combat Alchemist Commander who had flown in from the battle above was somewhat moved. The guy, uninvited, landed near Mabel and Noland Lee after discovering the enemy’s intention to surrender. He saw the characters that the meaty eye had woven with its flesh strips and was also somewhat moved.
Noland Lee sighed quietly, knowing that there was no helping it.
Not everyone was like him, who could gain knowledge by beating an enemy or being beaten by one.
Besides, what the Combat Alchemist Commander wanted was probably more than just knowledge of outer space.
