To both Katreina and Lorenz, the meeting was a novel experience. The Queen of Sirens rarely left the oceans, and had never signed any form of contract with another civilization. Lorenz, on the other hand, had lived all his life on the ark, and had never seen aliens in the flesh — he was startled when he first saw Nangong Wuyue. Both of them were new to the role of representative of their people, but fortunately, they were mentally prepared to carry out the negotiations, even if it was their first time.
There was not much to say in the meeting. Everything went smoothly as planned. The Queen had already decided on most of the details with Hao Ren. Lorenz, on the other hand, was desperate to find a temporary place for his fleet to settle down and get started on reparation works. With the lives of his people at stake, he was willing to accept almost all the conditions.
The Queen wanted only an ark, a price that was far better than he had anticipated.
