Kapitel 1248: Negotiating With The Natives (End)

Although Alexander's offer appeared very enticing to Metztil, at the last moment, he brought up the objection that even though he liked this, his people were very unlikely to accept.

They were expecting the full sovereignty of the place.

"Your people will reject free land?" Alexander sounded half stunned by this because he was unable to fathom how would the people reject free land.

He began to think Metztil was simply trying to make things hard for him and was haggling.

"We do not like interacting with you outsiders. There is even a law that calls for death to anyone who does," Metztil clenched through his teeth, his gaze turning very complicated.

Because up until now, he was one of the biggest defenders of that law. How could he have known it would come to come back to bite him like that?

As for changing it as Alexander quickly suggested next, well this was where Metztil's tenuous position came to play.
