Soul Fusion Online-Chapter 204: Forming A Pact Between Humans And Demons
--AN: A big thank you to Darkwolf61101 for the castle!--
Ryu, Chi, Anames, and Arkin were now within the demon village, sitting at a large table in the meeting hall specially built for village meetings. They were currently waiting for a certain person to arrive. "Ryu, as the village elder, I can not thank you enough for arranging this meeting."
"It is what I should do," Ryu answered with a smile.
The two had small talk back and forth when the door to the meeting hall finally opened, and a human wearing armor walked in. This was the same commander that Ryu had spoken to when he first arrived at Harlin Heights. "Ryu." The commander bowed his head towards Ryu, acknowledging him first. He then turned to the village elder and greeted him. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My name is Zegre, and I am the commander of the Harlin Heights protection army. I am here on behalf of the town to form a pact between our two races."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Zegre. My name is Nole, the grand elder of this village." Nole returned Zegre's greeting. He was not offended at all by how he was greeted second.
"Alright, as everyone is here, I will be the mediator between the two races and hope that we can come to an agreement." Ryu said with a smile. "As I am the one proposing this pact, I will start off by saying that I think the two sides would benefit greatly with free trade between the two. With an influx of both humans and demons between the two villages, this could enable you and your people to coexist more effectively. While there still will be some prejudice, I think the guards of each side should deal with it in an orderly fashion. Arrests will be made, but no torture or mistreatment, and they will be exiled back to their respective territories if this happens in the town or village that is not their home village. If it is a person harassing a visitor, they should be jailed and dealt with by their own people. Now I can understand this can also lead to favoritism, but this is also what the pact will keep from happening. When you form the pact, you will be forced to push forward these new laws, or else you yourselves and your people will end up suffering. What I am saying is…. If you can not get along under this pact, you will be enslaved by the other race. And just so you understand that the pact will know if it was instigated or not. So no one should think about scheming against the other, or they will die instantly.
"You should make sure your people understand these new laws to the point that no one will dare break them. Because not only yourselves but for your families and your kin will be at stake if the laws are broken." Ryu was making harsh terms because of the incident with the idiots at the gate. She could tell they did not like humans one bit. "Now for the positives besides the ability to trade. This will also give your demon race the ability to flirt with some of the human girls. As I know it, Harlin Heights has an influx of female population, right?"
"Yes, it does. In fact, we have been troubled by this… If we could bring in more males or have girls give birth to more males, it would be a godsend. The lord of Harlin Heights has already said that he is in one hundred percent approval of forming a pact and was actually thinking of offering free trade in hopes that maybe a demon male or two would settle down in the town and help bolster the male population.
"The way I see it, as I see more males than females in your village, this would work out well for both our kinds. Although we will be mixing blood, and in the future, there will be nothing but mixed breeds running around, I still think it is better than watching our people die off." Zegre was one hundred percent in favor of this pact.
"I also think this is a grand idea. I have been worried about how my people would be able to keep on going down the road. The few girls we have are having to mate with many men a day, and this is not good for their health. Although we treat them as princesses and give them whatever they please, I still feel the fact that they are doing it with so many a day is unfair to them whether they volunteered for it or not." While there were some girls who were not helping with the rebuilding of the population plan to try to give birth to more girls, they were free to choose if they wanted to help or not. The elder respected their wishes.
"Then it is settled. Zegre, I suggest you have a meeting between the two races of girls who are willing to date demons and demons who are willing to date human girls and actually treat them well. I am sure once the girls see how handsome Demon men are, they will have no misgivings about becoming their wives. But we should split them up into two groups: those who will stay in Harlin Heights and those who will come back to this village to live. I think that is only fair." Ryu suggested.
"I agree to this." Zegre nodded his head.
"As do I." Nole also agreed this was for his race's survival after all.
"Then we should form the pact," Ryu said. He was given a quest item for this part of the quest to form pacts. It would be a blood pact between two races. Ryu would write down all the terms, and then the two sides would need to drip a drop of their blood on the pact.
After a few minutes, the pact parchment glowed, and every person in the two races had a small magic rune that represented the word pact to form on the top of their right hands. It did not disappear as it was to serve as a reminder that all citizens were bound by this pact. This of course, excluded Ryu and his group.
