Su Han left, but other Dragon Country personnel remained.
The Elf Queen, thinking the negotiations were over and preparing to depart, was asked by a Dragon Country official, "Respected Elf Queen, please wait a moment. I have a document here regarding the rights and obligations of becoming a subordinate race to Dragon Country."
The Elf Queen replied, "There's such a document? Then let's review it. We still have plenty of time."
Following this, the Dragon Country staff member began to read the document aloud.
"Becoming a subordinate race of our Dragon Country brings many benefits. Firstly, the Elf race will immediately receive extensive technological assistance from Dragon Country. With Dragon Country's help, the Elves can leap into the technological age. The mechanical devices, hovercars, and skyscrapers you see in this city, the Elves will be able to acquire."
"Of course, as a subordinate race to Dragon Country, the Elf race will need to undergo significant reforms. First, Dragon Country's language and written script will be adopted as the common tongue. Every elf must learn it. Elvish will only be permitted as a dialect. Furthermore, Elvish script will no longer be used in public forums or official documents. To facilitate this linguistic and script reform, Dragon Country will establish schools for the Elves. The Elf race will also implement compulsory education, similar to Dragon Country."
The Dragon Country staff member continued reading.
"Concurrently, the monarchy system among the Elves will be abolished. This means you, the Elf Queen, will abdicate. The Elf race will subsequently be integrated into Dragon Country's political system. Moreover, the Elf race will participate in Dragon Country's external campaigns."
At this point, the Dragon Country staff member paused, anticipating the Elf Queen's questions.
The Elf Queen inquired, "External campaigns? The Orcs of the magic world have already been eliminated. Does Dragon Country's external campaigning extend to other worlds?"
The Dragon Country staff member nodded. "Precisely, it is campaigning in other worlds. After the Elves join Dragon Country and become a subordinate race, they will witness higher-level warfare. Naturally, joining Dragon Country ensures the Elves an assured victory. Very well, let us continue!"
The Dragon Country staff member resumed reading the document.
The general essence of the document was that upon becoming a subordinate race of Dragon Country, the Elf race would receive numerous advantages, but in return, they would undergo extensive reforms to align with Dragon Country.
After finishing the reading, the Dragon Country staff member stated, "The above outlines the bright future described in this document. To further illustrate the might of our Dragon Country, please watch our promotional video!"
A holographic projection immediately materialized in the meeting room, commencing its depiction of Dragon Country's power.
The projection began with a view from space.
"Dragon Country's sphere of influence is not confined to land. Space is also within Dragon Country's operational domain. Dragon Country possesses a vast fleet of starships..."
This promotional film used imagery of space to convey Dragon Country's might, allowing the Elves to understand that the realms beyond their planet were indeed space. It demonstrated that Dragon Country's technology had already ventured beyond their world.
Indeed, these numerous starships were the very vessels from the Dinosaur World.
After being repaired, the starships acquired from World 3 had naturally taken to flight in the vacuum of space beyond the planet.
Dragon Country had conducted preliminary explorations of the cosmos beyond the Dinosaur World's planet using starships.
In the star systems of the worlds connected by the teleportation gates, other planets were devoid of life. Only planets beyond the star system harbored life. Dragon Country had deployed a considerable number of astronomical instruments on the Dinosaur World, making its cosmic exploration efforts the most advanced. However, due to the extensive data obtained from the Taba Jiao province in World 3, information regarding the celestial bodies in World 3's technologically advanced space was the most comprehensive. This even included coordinates of alien planets in the vicinity of World 3's Taba Jiao province. The surrounding space of the Dinosaur World was still under exploration, with no alien civilizations yet discovered.
After two hours of viewing Dragon Country's promotional video, the Elf Queen and the rest of the elven delegation were even more profoundly impressed by Dragon Country's power.
The Dragon Country staff member announced, "Esteemed guests, today's meeting concludes here. You are free to arrange your subsequent activities. Simply inform our staff of your desired destinations. The next session will be held in three days."
...
The Elf Queen, maintaining a calm demeanor, departed the meeting room with her delegation and was escorted to the restaurant for lunch.
During lunch, even the Elf Queen marveled at the exquisite flavors of Dragon Country's cuisine.
After lunch, the elven delegation began touring the city.
This city, situated near the teleportation gate, had become the most prosperous city in the magic world. Despite the significant involvement of Dragon Country citizens in its development, it still teemed with people.
Within this city, the elven delegation once again witnessed the might of Dragon Country.
After their excursion, the Elf Queen and her entourage returned to their hotel.
The entire hotel had been booked for them. The Elf Queen did not immediately rest but instead summoned all members of the delegation to the conference room for a meeting.
The Elf Queen addressed them, "After watching the Dragon Country promotional film today, I finally understood that the space beyond our world is called 'space.' Without Dragon Country, perhaps our Elf race would never have learned of such things. Moreover, judging by this city, which is merely an ordinary city of Dragon Country, its prosperity is astonishing. The myriad of technological items spread throughout the city have opened our eyes."
Following this, the Elf Queen remained in deep thought for a considerable period before stating, "From all this, it is clear that Dragon Country is immensely powerful. Our Elf race has no choice but to become a subordinate race to Dragon Country."
The other elves in the delegation exchanged glances, remaining silent.
After a long pause, Annaci finally spoke, "So, Your Majesty, does this mean we agree to become a subordinate race to Dragon Country just like that?"
The Elf Queen nodded. "Yes, we will become a subordinate race to Dragon Country. However, before we do, we can still negotiate for more benefits. Let us thoroughly discuss how to secure greater advantages for the Elf race!"
...
In the subsequent meeting three days later, the Elf Queen's opening request was to board a starship and view outer space.
The Elf Queen expressed her desire to see the cosmic expanse and observe the magic world's planet from orbit. She stated that she would make her final decision after witnessing it firsthand.
Su Han readily agreed. "Such a minor request. In fact, you could have proposed it much earlier. Traveling to space in a starship is a very simple matter for us."
