Interspecies Training Manual

The revelry lasted all night.

When the flames of the sacred site were extinguished, the harvest day festival came to an end.

Various tribes began to leave the sacred site and return to their tribes, actively preparing for the war six months later.

The holy site has returned to silence.

Elsa was still sitting in the same spot in the vast valley.

She maintained this posture for a full day and night from the moment the final battle ended.

Her tribe dispersed and she became the subject of the new chieftain.

A cool breeze stirred, but Elsa's eyelashes didn't even flutter; she remained as still as a stone statue.

The long silence was broken by the sound of two footsteps approaching from afar.

Elsa looked up and saw two ordinary goblins walking towards her.

She didn't know which tribe's goblin he was, and paid him no attention.

Just as she was about to lower her head, the sight before her eyes caused a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

The two goblins suddenly glowed and transformed into a tall, handsome human male and a beautiful, delicate elven girl.

Humans and elves?!

Humans have actually trespassed into the sacred ground?!

Elsa instinctively drew two short blades from her waist, leaped to her feet, and assumed a fighting stance.

"How dare you trespass on the sacred grounds of goblins! Any alien species that offend these sacred grounds deserves to die!"

Luo An remained rooted to the spot, his eyes showing no sign of panic.

"I followed Carlisle all the way to this holy place."

"I witnessed it all, from the initial battle to the final showdown."

"I saw the devastating defeat that made you lose everything."

Elsa gripped the short blade in her hand even tighter.

The humiliation of defeat being exposed to her face made her feel terrible, and the murderous intent in her eyes intensified.

"My name is Luo An. I mean you no harm; I just want to discuss cooperation with you."

Luo An spread his hands out, indicating that he had no intention of making a move.

"Goblins and humans have nothing to talk about!"

Elsa's figure appeared, her short blade slicing through the air, aiming straight for the human's vitals.

Luo An was not surprised by her actions.

This goblin is indeed very fast, but before it arrived, it had already evenly distributed its 20 attribute points on strength and agility.

Things are very different now!

Luo An grabbed Elsa's wrist, twisted it, and with overwhelming force, slammed her to the ground.

Luo An pressed his knee against her back and restrained her hands with one hand, rendering her unable to move.

Elsa struggled frantically, never expecting this human to possess such superb skills.

Just as she was about to activate her bloodline power, Luo An's voice rang out.

"I really won't hurt you, please don't get agitated!"

Seeing that she was about to explode, Luo An simply let go.

He can easily suppress Elsa in her normal state now, but it's hard to say what will happen after she activates her bloodline power.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Elsa paused for a moment, then quickly stood up and concealed the runes.

This human seemed to have many secrets, and with an elf watching beside her, she didn't know how much chance she had of winning after activating her bloodline power, so she decided to stop for the time being.

"Didn't we say we'd discuss cooperation?"

"I'd like to ask you a question first: Do you harbor a deep hatred for humanity like Carlisle?"

Luo An spoke kindly, but his aura was firmly established, giving the other party the illusion of being unpredictable.

If she didn't know the details, she wouldn't dare to take action easily.

"Hatred?"

Elsa frowned, her eyes showing wariness and confusion.

"My former tribe lived deep in the southern forests and had little contact with humans."

"I am somewhat aware of the cruelty of you humans. Although I don't have a good impression of you, I wouldn't say I hate you."

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Luo An was certain that she wasn't lying.

"So, even if you become the Great Chieftain, you won't wage war against humanity?"

Elsa shook her head.

She participated in the Great Chieftainship contest only to prove herself, and had no other intentions whatsoever.

She looked at the human in front of her, not understanding what his purpose was.

"And you, why did you infiltrate the Holy Land?"

Seeing that she could communicate, Luo An revealed his true thoughts.

"I come from a farm on the border of the Empire. I infiltrated here simply to find out who will become the Great Chieftain."

"Carlisle hates humans and has launched several attacks. Now that he has become the Great Chieftain, he will wage war against the Empire again."

"I know how ferocious goblins are. Once war breaks out, everything in the way will be destroyed."

"I can't predict what the final outcome will be, but my farm will surely cease to exist."

Elsa knew he was telling the truth.

But saying these things to her was useless. Could she possibly change the decision of Carlisle, the new High Chief?

Roan said calmly, "I know that low-ranking goblins will only obey the orders of high-ranking goblins."

"Your bloodline purity is even higher than Carlisle's before he received new blood, enough to command those low-ranking goblins."

"I would like to ask you to prevent the goblins from attacking the farms in my area when war breaks out."

Elsa sneered at his words, but she sheathed the short blade in her hand back at her waist.

"I can indeed control them to some extent, but why should I help a human who trespassed into the holy land to gather information and just pinned me down?"

"Doing this is tantamount to disobeying the new High Chief's orders!"

Luo An's expression remained unchanged.

Although her tone was aggressive, her act of sheathing her knife indicated that she was open to negotiation.

Presumably because her bloodline was pure enough, she didn't seem to mind disobeying the order.

"Because I can give you what you need most."

Elsa raised an eyebrow.

"What's most needed?"

Luo An slowly walked up to her.

"You have lost your tribe and become all alone. Even if you want to rebuild a new tribe, it will take a long time."

"By the time you've gathered enough strength to challenge Carlisle again, I don't know how long it will take."

Luo An offered the terms he could.

"I can greatly shorten the time for you, help you rebuild your tribe, provide you with sufficient resources, and train your people so that the new tribe can quickly recover to its original size and grow bigger and bigger."

"I will do everything in my power to help you become the chief of a tribe of ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand."

It may sound a bit exaggerated, but we still have to make promises.

The uncertainty of the future does not affect the promises made now.

Luo An saw a fleeting glint of light in Elsa's eyes.

It's clear that these words had some effect.

After all, they are goblins living in the forest, and their minds are not as complicated as those of humans.

Why did you do that?

Elsa countered, "What good would rebuilding a goblin tribe do for you, a human?"

This was truly unbelievable; she had never heard of humans helping goblins develop their tribes.

"This is a choice I had no choice but to make in order to survive."

Luo An had anticipated this problem.

"Rebuilding the tribe wouldn't benefit me, but I'm more concerned about surviving the upcoming goblin attack."

"Since you desire to rebuild the tribe and I want to protect the farm, at least in the short term, our interests are not in conflict."

There was one more thing that Luo An didn't mention.

High-ranking goblins can be bound using the "Interspecies Handbook".

By establishing a friendly relationship with Elsa, you can earn rewards by increasing her trust level.

Survival is important, but this is equally important to him.

Seeing Elsa deep in thought, Roan gave her a warm smile.

"Chief Elsa, are you willing to cooperate this time?"
