After hearing that it was finally time for Diablo to take the stage, he said a respectful word directly to Rimuru, and then turned his attention to Luminas and others opposite.
"Then Master Luminas, let me, the 'Second Secretary' of Lord Rimuru, negotiate with you!"
Diablo narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Luminas with a smile.
Looking at the smiling Diablo, Luminas's eyes were full of vigilance, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
For some reason, she always had a bad premonition.
"Master Luminas, although Lord Rimuru has forgiven you, the compensation you deserve cannot be less."
"I believe you still remember how all the elite knights of Holy Knight Order and the other six saints, except 'Hinata Sakaguchi', were dealt with!"
Diablo squinted his eyes slightly, showed a slightly friendly smile, and asked Luminas and others.
"Of course, remember, don't worry about this, I will redeem them with sufficient ransom prepared!"
Luminas nodded, of course she still remembered, it was just a ransom, she Luminas didn't have much, just a lot of money!
She Luminas is different from a certain demon king who can only eat and drink as much as she can. As the only vampire True Ancestor, Luminas with the title of 'Nightmare Queen' can be said to be the most extravagant existence among the many demon kings.
If we talk about wealth alone, I am afraid that the wealth of all the devil kings in 'Nine Heavens Governing the World' combined is not as much as hers alone.
As the absolute controller of Holy Imperial Nation and Western Saint's Church, Luminas has accumulated endless wealth over the past thousands of years.
Almost any treasure can be found in her collections and treasury.
It's just some ransom. If she wants, she can even buy a small country for her own fun.
"That's good, as long as you haven't forgotten!"
Hearing Luminas's answer, the smile on Diablo's face grew stronger.
Diablo, who is Primordial Demon, knows the identity of Luminas. In the underworld, Diablo has observed the situation on this continent countless times.
Luminas True Ancestor, who is Vampire Clan, has an almost eternal lifespan. Vampire Clan is also known as the 'Noble of the Dark Night'.
So Diablo is going to give Luminas a good deal today, so that Lord Rimuru can know the excellence of his Diablo.
At this time, Si Zai was vaguely aware that something was wrong. She now seriously doubted whether it was a wrong decision to let Diablo preside over this negotiation!
Qi Yi, who was sitting next to Mo Li, looked at this scene and raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile.
Haha, Luminas, this guy is going to be in trouble!
Qi Yi knew very well how bad Diablo's character was. Plus, the two of them had known each other for more than ten thousand years, plus their days in the underworld.
In Seven Primordial Demon Ancestors, the other original Qi Yi will not take it lightly, but the Original Black Diablo is the only one that Qi Yi is somewhat afraid of.
I don't know how many fights the two of them had in the underworld, but most of them ended in a deadlock.
Even if Qi Yi's current strength is stronger than Diablo, he doesn't want to provoke Diablo, a 'dog skin plaster'.
It's not that he can't beat him, but it's unnecessary. This guy Diablo is a BUG. The other originals will return to the underworld for a while after death, but Diablo is different. He will be resurrected immediately after death, and his strength will also become stronger.
It's just so special and weird.
This is not what scares Qi Yi the most, although the current Diablo has just been exposed, and his strength is only Demon Duke.
But Qi Yi had a hunch that as long as Diablo wanted it, he would always have a way to become stronger. Even if it was Ultimate Skill, as long as Diablo wanted it, he would get it soon.
This is Guy's confidence in his old friend.
But based on his understanding of Diablo's character and strength, I'm afraid he won't be interested at all!
"But these ransoms only include the 'six saints' and the knights of Holy Knight Order, and do not include Hinata Sakaguchi. You should also know this!"
"Clear!"
At this time, Luminas couldn't help but frown. For some reason, her bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
"'Hinata Sakaguchi robbed and killed Lord Rimuru', 'Holy Knight Order invaded the Demon King's territory', you should not be able to deny these!"
Following the rhythm of Diablo, Luminas admitted them one by one. There was no way, what Diablo said was indeed the truth.
"Admit it, after all these are facts!"
"Then I'll start making conditions!"
After Diablo heard all the admissions from Luminas, his face was filled with a smile of joy.
"1. Holy Imperial Nation must acknowledge the existence of our Demon Country Federation. Without your recognition, it will be difficult for us to facilitate transactions among humans in the future. There is no problem with that!"
Diablo said with a smile.
"No, Master Luminas, this is not allowed. This is inconsistent with our teachings."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted opposition from other paladins.
There is no way Western Saint's Church's teaching is to protect human beings and expel monsters.
How can they admit that Demon Country Federation is composed of monsters? This is absolutely not allowed.
Not only the Paladin, but also Hinata Sakaguchi had a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
There is no way, it is indeed a bit... difficult for Holy Imperial Nation, who has been protecting mankind, to recognize a country composed of the Demon King, True Dragon and many monsters.
After all, in their church's list, the Demon King and True Dragon are both hostile to them.
Although their Goddess Luminas is also a demon king, only a few people in the entire Western Saint's Church know this.
Therefore, it will not have an excessive impact on Imperial Nation.
"Yes, I agree! I can make Holy Imperial Nation recognize the status of Demon Country Federation. I even hope to establish diplomatic relations with Demon Country Federation."
After hearing Diablo's first condition, Luminas directly agreed and even put forward further ideas.
For the current Luminas, this is actually not a disadvantage, and it is even a wish for her.
"War of Heavens and Demons" is around the corner. If she can get an ally from the Demon Country, she will feel a lot more relieved.
Although Luminas is not afraid of those angels, it would be much easier if he got help from the Demon Kingdom.
As for whether Tempest can survive the Angel's attack, Luminas has never thought about this issue!
With Tempest, the demon king Morax, 'Demon King' Rimuru, [Storm Dragon]Veldora, and Calamity-class and other rock dragons, these angels are not capable of defeating Tempest.
Even excluding these, even just one Morax can probably sweep away all the angels.
Demon Country Federation is so powerful. There are three top experts of the 'Calamity-class' class alone, and there are also three people with the combat power of 'Awakened Demon King'.
With this fighting strength, I am afraid that even if all the Western countries unite, they will not be able to defeat the Demonic Kingdom.
And not to mention that Rimuru and Morax have an unusual relationship with the monster Milim. Judging from Luminas, if something really happened to Demon Country Federation, I'm afraid Milim wouldn't stand idly by.
"Sir Luminas, it's okay to acknowledge the existence of Demon Country Federation, but if we conclude diplomatic relations, isn't it a bit..."
At this time, even Hinata Sakaguchi on the side could not help but give advice.
The fact that Holy Imperial Nation, which is the center of the Western countries, can establish diplomatic relations with the Demon Kingdom, which is composed of demon kings and monsters, has a great impact.
Not to mention that the purpose of Holy Imperial Nation is to defeat monsters. It can be said without hesitation that Holy Imperial Nation and Demon Country Federation are two forces that are naturally on opposite sides.
Now we have to conclude diplomatic relations, isn't this a bit...
"Okay, this is my own decision, don't say any more!"
Luminas crossed his arms and said something arrogantly to Hinata Sakaguchi and the others.
In Holy Imperial Nation, she is the one and only existence. Now that she has made her decision, she will not go back on it.
As for the subsequent impact, as Holy Imperial Nation is a political and religious institution, the word of God Lumina is the oracle that they must follow. It is nothing more than an oracle, simple.
"Yes! Master Luminas."
Seeing Luminas who was determined to have his own way, Hinata Sakaguchi stopped trying to persuade him because she knew that once Mr. Luminas made a decision, he would never change it.
Looking at Hinata Sakaguchi who voted in agreement, the other paladins also nodded in agreement with Luminas's idea.
Although it won't be a problem even if they don't agree.
Listening to Luminas's suggestion, Diablo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned his head directly to Rimuru who was sitting on the main seat to ask for his opinion.
"Yes, the Demon Kingdom is happy to establish diplomatic relations with Holy Imperial Nation!"
Rimuru certainly agrees with Luminas's proposal.
After all, multiple friends, multiple paths?!
The world doesn't just need fighting and killing, it also needs to be humane and sophisticated!
In addition, the current reputation of Demon Country Federation is indeed not very good, which has led to some merchants not daring to trade even if they like the products of the Demon Kingdom.
But with Holy Imperial Nation's recognition, I think I can relax a little!
Seeing that Rimuru agreed, how could Diablo, the "powerful brag", refute? Not agreeing with both hands and feet would be an insult to his loyalty.
"I'm very glad that Lord Luminas can establish diplomatic relations with our Demon Kingdom. Then Lord Luminas, let's start the next negotiations!"
Diplomatic relations return to diplomatic relations, and negotiations still need to be negotiated. After all, brothers should settle accounts openly!
"... Okay, go on."
Luminas The corners of his mouth twitched, but he still didn't say anything more.
In this way, thanks to Diablo's "top negotiation skills", "unkind mentality" and "thousands of strategies", Luminas was directly awarded a huge compensation.
Coupled with the previously promised ransom, this amount directly emptied one-third of Luminas's treasure house.
Lumina's heart was bleeding! But as a demon king, Luminas endured the pain in his heart and agreed to the conditions proposed by Diablo.
Rimuru, who was watching on the sidelines, was also shocked after hearing the huge amount of money.
Even Rimuru, who is the master of Diablo, feels that Diablo is so "cruel" and so shameless! She feels sorry for Luminas.
You must know that Tempest suffered almost no losses. No cadres were injured, and even the dispatched legions had no casualties.
But what did Diablo list?
The expenses that need to be compensated for the majesty of the Demon King, the compensation required for the unauthorized invasion of the Holy Knight Order Legion, the ransom of Hinata Sakaguchi... the list goes on and on, and she doesn't even know that they have lost so much.
The most important thing is that Luminas actually agreed, which made Rimuru very dreamy.
This compensation plus the previous ransoms from saints and knights, this amount is almost several times the amount of all the money in their Demon Country Federation treasury.
"Okay, that's it for Master Luminas's negotiation!"
"Thank you Luminas for your generous donation."
After the negotiation, Diablo stopped talking and directly asked Rigurd on the side to draft a contract.
After Luminas signed, this negotiation was completely over.
"You can only be worthy of being the ancestor of Black Demon in Primordial Demon? I'm afraid even your heart is black! This amount of money makes even me feel distressed?!"
Luminas said sarcastically to Diablo who was like a "dog leg" next to Rimuru.
With almost one-third of his savings, even Luminas, who is wealthy, can't help but feel a little distressed.
"Forget it, that's it! Just think of me as giving you the support of the Demon Kingdom."
Luminas waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Haha..."
Facing Luminas's sarcasm, Diablo didn't feel embarrassed. In his opinion, as long as it can benefit Rimuru, he didn't care about anything else.
"Okay, now that everything has been resolved, can I take Hinata and the others out of here?"
Looking at Diablo who was "laughing", Luminas didn't want to be angry here, so he asked Rimuru angrily.
"It's true, but are you in such a hurry?! Do you want to have a meal here before leaving?"
"After all, you have come to the Demon Country, and I want to entertain you well!"
Rimuru asked slightly hesitantly. To be honest, even she felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Diablo is indeed a bit... too much, but is it?! Now that the contract has been signed and it is in her hands, she has no idea of leaving it.
"Huh---"
Luminas snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. And now that she had settled her accounts with the Demon Country, it was time to settle her accounts with a certain Evil Dragon.
In this way, the so-called 'Holy Demon War' came to an end after Luminas and others signed the contract.
