The content of this meeting was very long, but for Inazuma, it went very smoothly.
After all, Inazuma's side had far too much [courtesy].
The Shura Anyakonsen-shou, representing the leader of Inazuma's administrative unit, came to conduct the exchange. According to the custom of king to king and general to general, the fact that the Grand Sage—the highest leader of Sumeru—did not come in person already counted as somewhat [discourteous].
Then Inazuma's side even sent the Electro Archon's familiar, Yae Miko, to represent the Electro Archon in the negotiations...
Sumeru had no Dendro Archon's familiar to dispatch...
This caused the balance called [gifts], meant to maintain friendly relations between Sumeru and Inazuma, to shift.
If [courtesy] isn't enough, then [goods] have to make up for it.
When the other side is so enthusiastic toward you, is it really okay to just send them away with so little?
Azar thought it was fortunate that Raiden Shogun had not come in person...
If Raiden Shogun had participated in this meeting...
He would probably have had to invite that overly immature god to join the meeting...
Sigh...
Azar sighed inwardly.
They're both gods—how can the difference be so vast?
Inazuma has the Electro Archon to guide them, while we in Sumeru still have to find our own way forward. It's really too difficult...
He even wanted to switch.
Fortunately, old uncle Cid didn't have the ability to read minds, or he would definitely have retorted.
Huh? Is it that Nahida doesn't want to lead?
Isn't it because you imprisoned the god and didn't give her any chance to demonstrate or grow at all?
But these are all digressions.
In short, this time Inazuma and Sumeru conducted friendly cooperative negotiations.
Sumeru provided friendly international aid to Inazuma, and Inazuma also approved Sumeru's friendly academic application for students to conduct research and study in Inazuma...
In terms of results, both sides felt they had profited.
Inazuma: Got all the needed knowledge and even received an extra surprise.
Sumeru: The things Inazuma wanted were actually less than expected, but for the next hundred years or so, the Spantamad school's academic materials probably won't be a concern.
Many times, a win-win is the best choice.
If someone wants a solo win, the probability of a double loss is actually greater.
This meeting didn't last too long, since everything had already been planned beforehand.
By noon, the meeting concluded successfully. Time to eat, pet cats, pet foxes.
Anyway, before leaving, the old uncle sadly rubbed Tighnari's ears and even left Tighnari a purple adventurer's handbook for fur care.
Sigh, after all, as a Sage of one of the six schools, Naphis couldn't stay away from Amurta for too long.
So the meeting was held in the morning, and people left in the afternoon.
The next time they meet will probably be when the old uncle goes to Sumeru for adventures.
But compared to that, it's now time for Inazuma to digest the knowledge.
Afterward, the Shura Anyakonsen-shou will probably have to get busy with Inazuma's education sector.
Then there's also obtaining the key item [Akasha Terminal].
Let Raiden Shogun connect to it, and subsequent calls with little Eula won't be a worry anymore.
And also...
"How to make a young god grow up? Simple—come to the Inazuma God Training Class, personally taught by Inazuma's Shura Anyakonsen-shou..."
Click send.
"Send failed. Your message involves sensitive topics and false advertising..."
Heh heh, no big deal. As long as the message flowed through the Akasha Terminal's information stream, it's fine.
