When Minos heard that level 100 woman talking about a partnership, he smiled because what she really meant was, "kindly give me your technologies in exchange for me not taking them from you.
Aurae wasn't there to make a deal with him but to get what she wanted and pretend to give him something in return!
There was no choice, and Minos' answer could only be one.
"Establishing a partnership between my state and the Elven Island would be an honor." He said as he looked into the green eyes of this beautiful woman who was a little smaller than he was.
"What do you need?" She asked him. "I already know about your advancements, so you don't have to list what you have to give me. I want you to give me everything your empire manages to develop over the next ten years concerning the models you brought here from the North Sea."
