516 Elise’s Cooperation, Team Competition Begins!

Lu Yan did not wait long in the restaurant before Elise returned and arrived in front of Lu Yan.

Elise looked at Lu Yan in front of her and whispered, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan smiled when he heard this and said, “It’s fine.”

Lu Yan was not too interested in Elise and Charles. This was not something he should get involved in.

Elise looked at Lu Yan and continued to introduce the food. The atmosphere softened again.

During the meal, Lu Yan and Elise chatted relatively happily and talked about the global university exchange competition.

Then, Lu Yan also shifted the topic to the abnormal movements of the Void Gate previously, wanting to know more.

Elise was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Yan’s question. “Mr. Lu Yan, don’t you know? We’ve already fought a huge battle with the creatures behind the Void Gate. Our future state might not be ideal.”

A huge battle?

Lu Yan frowned and looked at Elise. “Your Highness Elise, can you be more detailed?”

Elise nodded when she heard this. “I’m not too sure of the exact situation. I only know that the abnormal movements of the Void Gate this time and the appearance of spatial cracks everywhere are because of the dark-born behind the Void Gate.

“Other than strengthening our response to the cracks, the various countries have also sent a lot of forces into the Void Gate to fight. Now, the battle situation is basically stable.

“This news is all top-secret. Other than some top fourth-year students being involved, the news should be sealed. It’s normal for Mr. Lu Yan not to know. I just thought Uncle Lei Shuo would tell you.”

Hearing Elise’s words, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He did not expect humans to have already fought the creatures behind the Void Gate.

No wonder spatial cracks had rarely appeared recently and had stabilized. It turned out that they had already fought.

Thinking of Elise’s words just now, Lu Yan frowned and asked, “Your Highness Elise, do you mean that some fourth-year students also participated in this battle?”

Elise nodded. “That’s right. The fourth-year students of the various countries can basically be considered quasi combat strength. They’re also the future combat strength of the various countries. This is a good opportunity for them to test their skills.

“If they can survive on the battlefield, their growth will increase a lot.

“Of course, the mortality rate is also very high. I heard that the mortality rate of fourth-year students has reached about 30%.”

Lu Yan’s expression became solemn when he heard this. “A mortality rate of about 30%?”

Wasn’t this death rate a little too high? It was simply shocking.

Elise nodded. “That’s right. I was also shocked when I heard about it back then, but it’s helpless. That’s the situation. The combatants of the various countries are relatively lacking. Fourth-year students have to quickly shoulder the mission of fighting.

“Although the mortality rate is very high, the students who survive will become the pillars of the various countries.

Lu Yan nodded. This way, they would indeed grow very quickly. However, the price of growth was a little too heavy.

Elise continued, “Currently, although the dark-born have already been suppressed, no one knows when the next wave will erupt. Therefore, the various countries are strengthening their cooperation with some foreign races.”

“For example, the elemental elves who came to watch the competition this time and the dwarves. By the way, the five countries are also contacting the few foreign races now. I heard that the Tiger Country has already reached a cooperative relationship with the dragon race.”

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect the cooperation between the various countries and the foreign races to be to this extent. The Tiger Country had already reached a cooperative relationship with the dragon race.

This could not help but make Lu Yan somewhat worried. As the relationship between the various countries and the other foreign races deepened, the relationship between the five countries might change.

This change was very likely not positive.

However, this was not something Lu Yan could control now.

No matter what, the situation in the future would definitely become more and more complicated. It was best to increase his strength!

Lu Yan and Elise chatted for a while more. Then, Lu Yan shifted the topic to the purpose of the invitation this time.

Elise did not hide anything and directly revealed her goal.

“Cooperation?” Lu Yan was somewhat surprised when he heard Elise’s words.

He did not expect Elise to want to cooperate with him.

“Your Highness Elise, did you find the wrong person? I’m only a first-year student. How am I worthy of your cooperation?”

Elise smiled when she heard this. “Mr. Lu Yan, don’t undervalue yourself. I’m very good at judging people. It won’t be long before you become an influential figure in the Dragon Country.

“Mr. Lu Yan, you should know a little about the current situation. To be honest, the relationship between the various countries is still unknown in the future. I hope to promote the relationship between Eagle Country and Dragon Country through cooperation with Mr. Lu Yan.”

Looking at Lu Yan in front of her, Elise said very sincerely.

She was somewhat uncertain about the current situation. The various countries and the foreign races had begun to increase their cooperation. Although they had a common enemy, the relationship between them was still unknown.

Among the five countries, the country Elise wanted to be enemies with the least was the Dragon Country.

However, from the current situation, her father seemed to have some thoughts about the Dragon Country. Elise wanted to plan ahead.

She might not be able to change her father’s decision, but through her relationship with Lu Yan, Elise wanted to find a way to ease the tension.

In short, Elise had already placed Lu Yan on the national level.

The others might find it somewhat crazy, but Elise trusted her judgment very much.

Elise felt that Lu Yan would definitely be able to become a top figure of the Dragon Country. It was just a matter of time.

Moreover, from Lu Yan’s current performance, this time would not be long.

Lu Yan nodded and the two sides briefly talked about the cooperation.

Now that Lu Yan had yet to grow up and Elise was only the princess of Eagle Country, the cooperation between the two sides was destined to only be verbal.
