"Humph, do you think my Snake-People Clan is as crafty and treacherous as you humans?"
Regarding this phrasing from Xiao Lin, Medusa was very dissatisfied.
But truth be told, after such an explanation from Xiao Lin, the entanglement within Medusa's heart swayed once again. After all, if everything was as Xiao Lin said, then for the Snake-People Clan, it was indeed a good thing.
Compared to a one-time business, this kind of sustainable harvest better suited the interests of the Snake-People Clan!
However, regarding this, Medusa still had one doubt in her heart.
"Giving up half of the profits just to borrow a path from my Snake-People Clan, human, what exactly are you after?"
At this time, Medusa had already stood up from her Imperial Throne, a pair of phoenix eyes tightly locking onto Xiao Lin just like that.
To put this sentence plainly, it was because Medusa felt that Xiao Lin was giving too much!
The reality was indeed exactly so.
Just borrowing a path, yet paying half of the profits, in Medusa's heart, humans had never been this kind-hearted. Moreover, on this matter, their Snake-People Clan did not pay any price at all!
This half of the profits obtained out of nowhere, could you say that Medusa, as the Queen of the Snake-People Clan, would not suspect there was a trick within it?
If Xiao Lin were standing in Medusa's perspective, he would also suspect there was a problem with this. If Xiao Lin knew what Medusa was worrying about at this moment, he would probably feel stuck between tears and laughter.
He merely regarded Medusa, this future granddaughter-in-law, as one of his own, which was why he gave up half of the caravan's profits, otherwise, his giving two or three tenths of the profits to the Snake-People Clan would already be the absolute ceiling!
It could only be said that the thoughts of Xiao Lin and Medusa were completely not on the same channel. Xiao Lin wanted to give this share of profits to his future granddaughter-in-law as a dowry.
While Medusa felt that humans could not be this kind-hearted.
Under this back-and-forth, it resulted in the current scene before them. Looking at Medusa's moved yet still doubtful attitude, Xiao Lin was also quite helpless. He treated his future granddaughter-in-law with sincerity, yet she suspected him of having a conspiracy!
After thinking about it, Xiao Lin felt that he still had to find something for the Snake-People Clan to do. Otherwise, with them swallowing such a large piece of cake, their hearts would clearly be suspicious and paranoid.
When the time came, it was not guaranteed that even a slight rustle of leaves in the wind would be suspected by them.
"Your Majesty, my Xiao Clan naturally doesn't just want to borrow a path from the Snake-People Clan! As for asking what my Xiao Clan is after, then I can only say it is for the friendship of the Snake-People Clan."
Xiao Lin said in a very serious manner.
Of course, these were completely lies!
What he was saying right now was actually not needed at all. Only, if he didn't say it like this, it was estimated that Medusa would keep suspecting him.
"Oh? After the friendship of my Snake-People Clan? How does this sentence sound so laughable to this Queen? Is there even friendship remaining between your human race and my Snake-People Clan?"
Hearing Xiao Lin say this, Medusa could not help but mock.
That's right, even Medusa felt that the deadpan Xiao Lin at this moment was too fake!
"Ai, Your Majesty, saying it like that is incorrect, our human race is very complex, there are good people, and there are also bad people, some people have dark hearts, while some people stay in the light, this cannot be generalized."
"In fact, because this caravan of my Xiao Clan has to cross the Tagore Desert, its strength is somewhat insufficient. Even without the Snake-People Clan, there are other fellows who might also target the caravan."
"Therefore, I hope the Snake-People Clan can provide a layer of protection for my Xiao Clan's caravan. This is precisely the reason why my Xiao Clan will yield half of the profits to the Snake-People Clan! Your Majesty, can you be at ease now?"
This could also be considered a phrasing that Xiao Lin came up with on the spot.
Excluding Xiao Lin, the strength of the Snake-People Clan surpassed the Xiao Clan by more than eighteen streets!
Moreover, the fierce reputation of the Snake-People Clan was renowned far and wide. If it was said that this caravan established by the Xiao Clan was guarded by the Snake-People Clan, Xiao Lin believed that the safety of this caravan would no longer have any hidden perils.
To put it simply, Xiao Lin just wanted the Snake-People Clan to dispatch experts to act as guards for the caravan, using this to exchange for the profit remuneration this time!
Didn't the Snake-People Clan suspect that zero output for high returns had a problem?
Well then, Xiao Lin just happened to find a matter for them to do, which was to act as the guards for this caravan of the Xiao Clan!
Sure enough, as the falling of Xiao Lin's voice occurred this time, the look of suspicion in Medusa's eyes was already nine-tenths gone.
"So that's how it is, you want my Snake-People Clan to dispatch people to act as guards for your caravan, is that right?"
"Exactly!"
The meaning of Xiao Lin was something Medusa naturally understood.
In this way, she was indeed much more at ease. She just said it, how could there be such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky?
Little did Medusa know, originally this pie was something she could have eaten for free. But unfortunately, she herself suspected it was poisoned!
Therefore, with no other choice, Xiao Lin had found a matter for the Snake-People Clan to do. At this time, Medusa had already swung her snake tail, slowly walking down from above the nine levels of stairs.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin still maintained his calm and composure.
Or rather, from the beginning until now, the expression of Xiao Lin had not really changed much!
Ultimately, Medusa stopped her figure at a distance of about four or five meters away from Xiao Lin. Then, she just stared straight into the eyes of Xiao Lin like that.
While Xiao Lin met the gaze of Medusa without the slightest fear. Finally, without both sides knowing how long they looked at each other, Medusa withdrew her gaze. From within the eyes of the human before her, she did not see any flavor of deception.
Therefore, within her heart at this moment, she had also already made a decision.
"Cooperation is fine, my Snake-People Clan can also dispatch manpower to act as guards for your caravan, but there is one condition!"
At this moment, a look of majesty was brought into the voice of Medusa.
Concerning the cooperation between both sides, she was the Queen of the Snake-People Clan, so she naturally had to strive for the maximum benefit for the tribe!
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Xiao Lin replied.
"Regarding the matters of the caravan, my Snake-People Clan must participate in it throughout the whole process! If you agree, we can cooperate, otherwise..."
"No problem! Your Majesty, since a cooperation is to unfold between our two sides, information naturally needs to be transparent!"
Over here, before the words of Medusa had even finished, Xiao Lin had already made a reply.
Medusa: "..."
The words that were originally at the tip of Medusa's tongue could only be swallowed back down at this time.
Why did she always feel that the person before her eyes was so easy to talk to? This almost caused her to somewhat overturn her perception regarding humans!
Originally, Medusa was only worried, fearing that the Xiao Clan would say they were giving up half of the profits when the time came, but in the middle of this process, shrink the numerical value of these obtained profits.
In this way, their Snake-People Clan would naturally be the one suffering a loss. Therefore, she would propose that the Snake-People Clan participate throughout the whole process. What this was for, was precisely to avoid the Xiao Clan practicing fraud.
But Xiao Lin didn't have this thought at all, so he naturally didn't need to worry about the Snake-People Clan discovering anything. To this point, the cooperation between both sides could basically be declared reached.
