My Passive Skills are Invincible!

Timus knew very well that in the eyes of the elves, his teacher was the one who had assassinated the elf princess.

The odd thing now was that Ulysses Sabrina had just mentioned that the murderer had been caught?

Was it all really just a misunderstanding?

How could it be!

If the murderer had really been caught, then who was that guy outside the city? 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Timus immediately understood the situation. It was a complete cover-up to say that the murderer had been caught. The reason she said this was to convince them to quickly end the war.

In fact, Ulysses Sabrina herself could not find any other reason besides this one. She could not admit the fact that the elves could not defeat the humans, because this would mean that she would have to beg the humans to end the war!

If Timus spoke the truth, it mean that he would have her in the palms of his hands. Timus thought for a moment and nudged Gilroy under the table, indicating for him to answer.

Gilroy was still in a confused state. After all, he had just heard the cause of the war for the first time. After processing the new information, Gilroy’s ability to think decreased. So much so that Timus’s actions made Gilroy subconsciously panic. He jerked from the kick and immediately responded to the new queen.

“Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then…”

“Ahem!”

When Timus heard Gilroy’s words, he immediately coughed violently. Ulysses Sabrina and Gilroy looked at Timus at the same time. After all, his reaction was so obvious that it caught the attention of the other two. Obviously, Timus was not satisfied with Gilroy’s diplomatic phrasing and wanted to interrupt him.

The humans were the victors this time. How could they say things such as it being a misunderstanding, and everyone should just forget about it and end the war, right?

The humans would definitely have to get a lot of benefits from this!

Anyone with a brain could guess Timus’s thoughts. However, the overly nervous Gilroy could not realize Timus’s intentions. Seeing that Timus had stopped coughing, Gilroy looked at Ulysses and Sabrina and said, “War is cruel. No one is willing to fight. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then…”

“Cough cough cough!!! Cough cough cough!!!!”

Timus coughed violently again.

Ulysses Sabrina and Gilroy looked at Timus from the excessive coughing. Ulysses Sabrina could tell that Timus was the one who had the real say in this negotiation, not this young and stupid ‘Lord Gilroy’.

However, the other party kept saying that Gilroy was the human commander of this war. Ulysses Sabrina could not expose the other party’s lies in public, right?

As the loser of the war, she dared not to take a misstep in a direction that could potentially anger the humans. Therefore, she could only shut her mouth and play dumb.

She just pretended that she could not see it!

Gilroy, who was interrupted by Timus the second time, still did not see through his teacher’s thoughts. He even waited patiently for a while after Timus finished coughing. After confirming that his teacher’s throat was better, he continued on, “We humans are actually a peace-loving race. If we didn’t know about the preparations of the elf soldiers, we wouldn’t have started the war at all.

“Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then…”

“Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!”

“…”

Gilroy dared not to speak anymore and could only look at Timus in a daze.

Could it be that his teacher was injured in the previous battle?

This was Gilroy’s current hypothesis.

Timus looked helplessly at Gilroy’s innocent eyes and sighed, “Forget it, I’ll be in charge of the negotiations from now on.”

Gilroy was also slightly stunned when he heard this.

Did he say something wrong? After all, he was the one negotiating on behalf of the human race. It could not be that the human race was greedy and evil, right?

It should be known that the human race was a race that sought for peace. Moreover, if he wanted benefits from the elf race, what if the other party did not agree and decided to continue the war?

As a soldier, Gilroy’s considerations were inevitably childish. Luckily, Timus was a little more different. He was used to being a strong person, so he naturally knew what a strong person’s attitude should be.

“Hello, I’m Lord Gilroy’s staff officer. My name is Timus.”

Timus looked at the queen and told a lie. He had without the slightest bit of nervousness or uneasiness on him.

Ulysses Sabrina looked at Timus and nodded very cooperatively, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Timus. I think we can continue on with our negotiations.”

Ulysses Sabrina obviously knew that him being the staff officer was obviously a lie, but she still chose to pretend that she did not know. The reason she did that was the same as before. The current situation of the elves did not have the right to expose the lies of a human messenger. Even if this lie was extremely not well thought out at all.

Timus, who had obtained the right to negotiate, immediately put up three fingers.

“Let’s call it a misunderstanding. Although the misunderstanding has been resolved, it proves that we didn’t do what you thought we did.

“Of course, this is not something that we humans should consider. I really don’t care if you have any misunderstanding about us. You started the war on your own initiative, so I have three requests for you.”

This kind of aggressive negotiation method that Timus did made Gilroy cower in fear, but he wisely chose to shut up. He knew that it was the best choice to hand it over to his teacher right now. In fact, if it was not for Timus that made Gilroy the commander, he would have rather stayed outside the Ancient City of War and waited for the outcome of the negotiation.

Ulysses Sabrina was not unfazed by Timus’s words.

She had never thought that she would be able to escape unscathed after losing the war. It was normal for the other party to have demands.

What the human named Gilroy said before was abnormal. This was something that she was more in tune with and prepared for.

“Please state your demands.”

Ulysses Sabrina replied calmly.

This was the only answer she could provide.

Although Timus had received an answer, he did not show any joy on his face. In fact, he looked a little serious.

“First, we humans can stop the war, but we have lost so many soldiers and supplies in the war. We will definitely receive compensation. As for the exact amount of compensation, I’ll give you a list later.”

“Okay.”

Ulysses Sabrina nodded.

She knew very well that this list would definitely not be as simple as compensation for the loss. It would definitely ask for many additional things.

However, she had no choice but to agree. The price to end a war was supposed to be like this.

“Second, in addition to supplies, the elven race also needs to provide a certain amount of labor for the human race in the next 100 years to make up for some of the hidden losses of the human race in this war.”

The hidden losses were still just words. To put it bluntly, it was for the benefit.

Ulysses Sabrina nodded again.

“Thirdly, the elves must compensate the human race with a city!”
