Chapter 109 Negotiations
According to Bai Ji's memory, there are three snake islands like this, each occupied by three snake gods, not far from each other.

Ye Ming took Baiji to another snake island.

It's just that I didn't see the snake god here.

"This year is the Baishen Festival, the other two will not appear."

Bai Ji explained.

Ye Ming was a little regretful, not showing up meant they were hiding in the dark sea, and there was nothing they could do if they didn't take the initiative to show up.

Fortunately, it will not affect anything.

But how to deal with Baiji is a problem.

There is no reference to distinguish the direction on this black sea, and Ye Ming did not find the way back from her memory.

Those who sent her to Snake Island must have a special way to tell the direction, but they will not tell the girl these things, after all, there is no need for this.

He really wanted to find the tribe where the girl was, but so far there was no hope.

"Do you want to get out of here with me?"

Ye Ming lowered his head and asked.

"leave here?"

Bai Ji was a little puzzled, hadn't she been following him?

"Yes, leave this dark world."

Ye Ming nodded. If he couldn't find the girl's tribe, he wouldn't be able to leave the girl alone on an island.

This place is not peaceful.

Leaving a girl on an island is tantamount to killing her.

So the only way is to take the girl out of the world of Dreamweaving Crown.

Bai Ji's eyes widened, a little surprised for a moment.

She didn't quite understand Ye Ming's words, but she still understood the meaning of these words, that is, they could leave this world.

Leave this dark world where she has lived for several years.

"Is there light outside?"

the girl asked curiously.

"some."

Ye Ming nodded, the light of the world here is the only thing they yearn for,
"Then I'm going."

Bai Ji nodded immediately upon hearing this.

She has nothing to miss about this world, Baishen is dead, and neither the tribe nor her family will be threatened anymore.

As for letting her go back to the tribe, she never thought about it.

Since she was sent to Snake Island, she has nothing to do with those people.

"Close your eyes and I'll take you away."

Ye Ming heard that he took Bai Ji away directly from the Crown of Weaving Dreams, and when he found Bai Ji's clansman, he might be able to send her back.

Let her stay here until then!
It happened that his house also lacked some popularity. Since the maids were dismissed, there was only him and a cat here.

And there is only one cat here when he is often away.

Leaving the dark sea, Bai Ji felt a light in front of her eyes, she slowly opened her eyes, the soft light made her unable to open her eyes.

Growing up in that dark world, it was the first time for her to see such a bright world, so bright that it would be sacrilege to miss a glance.

Her eyes were a little sour. After living in the dark sea for so long, she suddenly came to such a world. Even the ordinary light made her very uncomfortable for a while. Tears gushed out of her wide-open eyes, and she still couldn't bear to close them. Eye.

Ye Ming noticed her state and reached out to touch her head. The Holy Light technique helped the girl gradually adapt to this bright world.

Bai Ji finally got used to the light of this world, everything in this world is so novel in her eyes.

The bright and warm room, the wide and soft bed were all things she had never seen before.

"Meow!"

At some point, Amber pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing a strange girl in the room, her eyes suddenly became vigilant.

"It's amber."

Ye Ming grabbed Amber over, and Bai Ji stretched out his hand curiously.

Amber instinctively wanted to struggle, but under Ye Ming's gaze, she silently stopped, letting Bai Ji's hand rest on it.

"Hello, cat! I'm Bai Ji."

Bai Ji said cautiously.

Then she got Amber a supercilious look.

Ye Ming stuffed the amber into Bai Ji's arms and ignored them. He brought back a person from the Crown of Weaving Dreams. Give Bai Ji a reasonable identity.

Otherwise, a person appeared beside him out of thin air, no matter how you think about it, there will be some problems.

Although his current identity could stand the investigation, it would be better to save these unnecessary troubles.

As for Bai Ji's identity, he had already thought about it.

He contacted Alessa directly. No one is better at forging fake identities than them.

Alessa was a little surprised after connecting to the communication, "What? You already got the data of the Rebellion Project?"

"That will take some time."

Ye Ming shook his head and explained: "I'm looking for you this time for another matter..."

Ye Ming talked about the forged identity again.

Now Ye Ming's identity is the noble heir of a border planet, he wants to arrange a younger sister for Bai Ji, saying that his family sent him to Aurora and wanted her to go to school in Aurora.

This is the most reasonable identity.

"You picked up a child?"

Alessa was surprised after hearing this.

Ye Ming said:

"Let's just pick it up."

"It's up to you, as long as it doesn't affect your actions." Elissa was a little helpless, and this matter was not a big deal to her.

"Actually, I recently remembered some things from the past."

Ye Ming tentatively said.

"..."

Alessa was silent for a while, and reminded: "It may not be a good thing to think about it, so you can do it yourself."

Her reaction was more flat than Ye Ming imagined.

Ye Ming didn't say anything more.

Alessa continued: "Since you took the initiative to contact me, I happen to have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"There are some ancient relics found on an abandoned planet on the border between the Federation and the Empire. The two sides will conduct a negotiation to confirm the ownership of the relics. The above will ask you to find a way to disrupt this negotiation."

"This matter is a little difficult..."

"The higher-ups will ask Isa to assist you."

"I mean, I need to increase the venture capital."

"..."

"Can't you?"

"I'll apply for you."

……

Ye Ming smiled a little after cutting off the communication.

The news from Aretha's side is really well-informed. He doesn't know anything about the ruins, but they already know about it, and even know that the empire and the federation are going to negotiate because of this.

It is not an easy thing to say to prevent the two sides from negotiating.

Ye Ming didn't plan to do it on purpose, so he cheated the funds first.

Do it if you have the chance, forget it if you don't.

After all, he can do the tasks on the natural disaster side if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to do it, he won't do it, and no one can restrain him here.

Thinking of this, Ye Ming suddenly felt that he seemed to be becoming less and less principled.

When exactly did it start?
It doesn't seem to matter to worry about these.

On the second day, Aretha had already arranged for Bai Ji's identity.

Ye Ming found the girl who was teasing Amber, and said, "From today on, your identity is my younger sister, and your name is Xilin."

"Silly?"

The girl repeated the name carefully.

She was a little surprised, she finally had her own name, and she liked it very much!

Although she was young, she knew that she was a sacrifice since she was a child, and she was much more mature than ordinary children.

She knew that if she wanted to stay in this world, she had to adapt to a new identity, so forget about the previous things!
Ye Ming nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, you still have to learn the common language of this world, and I will send you to a school in this world in the future."

That's how her identity was set up, it would be a little strange if she wasn't allowed to go to school.

Anyway, he can't be here often, and putting girls in school is also a good choice.

"I... I will try my best!"

After getting the name, Sirin clenched her fists, ready to start her new life.

"Meow!"

Amber, lying on the window sill basking in the sun, opened her eyes and let out a cry.

Ye Ming went to the Law Enforcement Building after eating. Xia Lun sent a group message to everyone early in the morning, as if something important was going on.

"You're late again, Cesar."

Ye Ming heard Xia Lun's voice as soon as he entered the door.

"Sorry, I wasted time picking up my sister."

Ye Ming apologized.

"Do you have a sister?"

Hearing this, Jiu Ge leaned over with a curious expression on his face.

"Yes, the family wants her to go to school here."

Ye Ming nodded.

He was giving a vaccination for everyone in the ghost team, so as not to explain it in the future.

Xia Lun interrupted their conversation and said, "I called you here today not to chat, but to have something very important."

"Captain, what is so serious?"

Everyone looked serious.

After all, such a serious task as mentioned by the captain must not be an ordinary task.

"An ancient relic has appeared at the junction of the Empire and the Federation, and the two sides will hold a negotiation on the ownership of the relic."

Xia Lun said: "The negotiating team will start from Aurora tomorrow. We and several other teams are responsible for the security of the negotiating team to ensure that the negotiations can proceed smoothly."

"Ancient ruins?"

Ye Ming wondered, he was not surprised by other things, after all, he had heard it from Alessa before.

It's just too coincidental.

The natural disaster side asked him to find a way to sabotage the negotiations, and they directly received the task of escorting the negotiating team.

Things like sabotaging negotiations don't seem to be that hard anymore.

For example, if something happens to the person negotiating, the negotiation will naturally be impossible.

He didn't have time to ask about the ancient ruins before, and now he just got some information from the captain.

Xia Lun didn't hide anything, these were not secrets in the first place.

"Those relics are suspected to be left over from the last era of civilization. They are hidden in various parts of the universe, and they will emerge by chance. The relics that appeared on the border this time should be similar relics. There may be things from the last era inside." , both the Federation and the Empire are very concerned about this.”

Sharon explained:
"The arcane art we have now is actually something from the last era of civilization. You should have heard of these things."

"Isn't this a hypothesis?"

Jiu Ge asked curiously.

Although she is not an arcanist, she still has some understanding of these things. The second half of what the captain said is actually a hypothesis about the origin of arcane arts.

Human beings were the first to discover the ore of arcane energy, and then discovered arcane energy, thereby created arcane technology, and even researched the genetic plan.

Gene warriors were born.

But the appearance of arcanists has always been a mystery, as if a group of people who can manipulate arcane power suddenly appeared in this world.

So some people put forward a hypothesis that the arcane originated in the last era.

Sharon shook his head and said: "The existence of the Starry Sky Temple is enough to explain everything. That thing was not built by people in this era."

The Starry Sky Temple, where the Arcanists of God's Domain are located.

It has existed in the depths of the universe since ancient times, and no one knows when the temple appeared. Only God's Domain arcanists can reach there.

And there are only six God's Domain Arcanists in this era.

Ye Ming was also a little surprised. The origin of arcane art can be traced back to the last era of civilization, but why was the last era of civilization destroyed?

He couldn't help but think of the things about the Protoss Sect.

In that case, did the Protoss sect secretly master an ancient relic?

If this is the case, it is understandable that they believe in the existence of protoss. Maybe there were protoss in the last era.

……

The day of departure is fast approaching.

Before leaving, Ye Ming told Sirin: "You and Amber will stay at home, and I will arrange someone to take care of your daily life. During the time I go out, you should study the common language well, and I will send you to school when I come back."

Sirin said obediently: "I know!"

"Meow!"

Amber waved her paw impatiently.

Ye Ming left the house immediately. He had notified Melsis before and asked him to arrange someone to take care of the life of one person and one cat.

The main thing was Sirin, he had nothing to worry about Amber, and the cat had a good life when he was not at home.

After gathering with Xia Lun and others, everyone found the ship on which the negotiating team was on.

They were not the only team involved in this escort mission, and this was still a mandatory arrangement, otherwise no one would want to act with the ghost team.

What surprised Ye Ming was that the negotiating team was headed by Luvia, accompanied by two judges from the Law Enforcement Department.

This lineup can be said to be very luxurious, and it also shows that the empire attaches great importance to this negotiation.

"After all, it is desperation."

Xia Lun appeared next to Ye Ming at some point, and shook his head as he watched the negotiating team boarding the ship.

"Yes!"

Ye Ming felt the same way.

After all, the current empire is in decline, and the empire has been going downhill since Vera IV didn't care about the affairs of the country.

Otherwise, why would they have to negotiate with the federation for such a trivial matter.

During the period of King Vera IV, the Federation probably would not dare to get involved in that ancient relic, even if it was within the territory of the Federation, as long as the Empire opened its mouth, it would give it up.

It's a pity that the current empire is an old man on the verge of dying. The rulers of the empire know this, and the Federation of Radiance knows it even more.

The purpose of this negotiation is mostly a trial.

When the empire agreed to this negotiation, the goal of the federation had been achieved, and the result of the negotiation was no longer that important.

Sharon asked again:
"Cesar, what do you think of this negotiation?"

Ye Ming was taken aback for a moment, of course he was not optimistic.

He thought for a while, lowered his voice and said truthfully:
"I don't think there's a good chance that this negotiation will be successful."

And it's possible that I destroyed it myself, he added silently in his heart.

Xia Lun smiled, shook his head and said:
"You're wrong, this negotiation will be successful, but we just need to do our part and don't think about unnecessary things."
