Who would've thought?
That old fossil Pixis actually lowered his head and pledged allegiance to the human race.
Just moments ago, Daniel received a message from Pixis himself.
In it, the elder gnome expressed his willingness to submit to the will of the Human Emperor and Daniel, fully accepting whatever arrangements they deemed necessary.
His only condition was that the younger members of the gnome race—those still in their youth—be given protection under the banner of humanity.
The Human Emperor barely even paused to consider the request.
He immediately accepted.
After all, the gnome race still possessed many valuable technologies—techniques and knowledge that humanity could learn from.
And now, with the gnome survivors numbering only in the tens of thousands, protecting twenty thousand or so posed no burden at all.
In fact, when weighed against what they stood to gain, this was a ridiculously favorable deal.
