Chapter 240 Purely Natural! A Deal with the Elves
Chapter 240. Purely Natural! A Deal with the Elves
Time passed quickly.
As the Warcraft Magic Plant Competition draws to a close.
Ellie brought an exceptionally tall elf to the reception hall outside Atlantis.
This welcoming hall is a special passage given to Croa by the mermaids. Only through here can one enter the interior of the Atlantis Sea.
It is considered the gateway to Hanjiao Island.
Its entire building material is made of various rocks, which have long been mottled after years of baptism and erosion. However, the reddish brown, grayish white, and navy blue rocks are colorful and gorgeous under the sun, like an ancient oil painting.
It is indeed quite beautiful.
But it was nothing like the luxurious and elegant appearance that Ellie had imagined. She didn't quite understand why Cloya would use this kind of stone commonly found on the seaside as building material, but she thought it was very pleasing to the eye.
After observing the welcoming hall for a while, Ai Li turned around and said loudly to the elf next to her:
"Come in quickly. Isn't it you who is required to sign the contract this time?"
"Sister Ellie."
The tall elf looked at the strange welcoming hall in front of him and hesitated a little: "Just give it to me directly. I haven't left Yongju Island for a hundred years!"
His expression was somewhat uneasy, his handsome features wrinkled, and he looked around cautiously, as if he was afraid that some magical beast would suddenly jump out.
It doesn't have the leisurely spirit of an elf at all, but rather looks like a nervous cat that has come to a strange place.
"..."
Ellie got angry when she saw him like this. Is he still an elf if he is so timid?
So, she simply grabbed him and pulled him inside.
While pulling him, he said, "Mylox, this is because you don't leave Yongju Island every day. In another year, you will go to travel around the mainland. With your condition, it will be lucky if you are not sold by the slave owner!"
The elf immediately looked sad: "Sister Ellie, I still have some potions to make. The elders won't let me travel outside, right?"
This is actually true. He is the natural pharmacist of Oak Garden and is extremely talented. The elven elders will not let him go easily.
However, Ellie felt that she still had to take care of this little brother, so she pulled him over.
This business is not only a transaction between Croa and the elves, but also the only new transaction with humans in hundreds of years.
The elders in the tribe are very concerned about whether this business can be completed successfully, and the elves are also trying to find a way to contact humans.
The two elves pulling and tugging in front of the reception hall had already attracted the attention of Ryan, the apprentice here.
After reporting to Croa and receiving the order to entertain them, he came out to greet them directly.
"For guests coming from afar, I have prepared honey tea and snacks."
Ryan had a perfect smile on his face and invited, "Why don't you come in and talk slowly?"
"You are the one who will receive us this time. I will take him in right away."
Ellie recognized Ryan.
Her face immediately turned red as she thought her little brother was really embarrassing, but she still did not forget to drag Malox inside.
Ryan kept a subtle smile on his face and didn't say much.
Honey tea and snacks had been prepared in the room of the club - the honey was of course the honey they came to purchase this time.
The gorgeous glow of the sky permeates the deep red tea soup, giving off a special sweet fragrance, as if the glow of the sky was really plucked.
When he saw the bowl of black tea, Malocks stopped struggling immediately, walked quickly to the front of the tea, and sniffed it intoxicatedly.
"This is!"
“It really smells like the glow of the sunset!”
He picked up the cup and took a sip carefully. The rich aroma, accompanied by the deep magic of the sunset, flowed into his throat, giving him a cool feeling.
He closed his eyes and sensed, muttering to himself: "The integrity of the magic power should be at the Brilliant Silver level... The provider is the third-level Brilliant Red Tulip, and the mixer should be the second-level grass elf butterfly fairy... and the magic of the banyan tree..."
As the natural pharmacist of the Oak Garden, he could of course immediately taste the magical changes in the tea, and could even imagine the growing environment of the honey.
Seeing this, Ryan said, "Lord Cloya has already told me that if you two have any needs, you can go to the Banyan Tree Honey Factory for a visit..."
Before he could finish his words, the tall elf came in front of him and said impatiently: "Let's go now!
I have a contract issued by the Oak Court in my hand. As long as the raw materials are good enough, we can sign a thousand-year order now!"
When it comes to his professional field, he suddenly becomes less socially anxious, his eyes sparkling, like a cat seeing fresh fish.
A thousand years of order!
Ryan swallowed imperceptibly.
According to the elves' concept of time, a thousand years is actually very short. It takes them seven or eight hundred years to reach adulthood, and for the elven royal family, it takes at least a thousand years.
But according to the human perspective on time, this thousand years can represent the passage of several generations - as long as this contract can be signed, it will mean a continuous exchange of resources.
Ryan was very excited when he thought about signing such a contract on behalf of Croa and recording it in the records of Hanjiao Island, but he still remained calm and restrained on the surface.
He extended his hand and invited, "I have prepared the magic circle, please follow me, my two guests!"
"Go, go, go!"
The one who was more anxious than him was Maloxus.
This guy was practically pushing Ryan forward—even though he was a very weak elf, he was still an elf after all.
In ancient times, they were called the Golden Race of Elves. Although their arms were very thin, they were very strong.
Ryan was half-pushed and half-forced to move forward, while Ellie watched helplessly from the side. The man and two elves soon arrived at the space magic circle.
After a short teleportation, we arrived at the Banyan Tree Factory.
The scent of tulips immediately filled the elf's keen sense of smell.
A cluster of flaming red tulips grows freely under the care of the banyan tree.
As soon as he arrived here, Malocks immediately ran towards the clusters of tulips growing on the ground, half squatted down, and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers with his nostrils flaring.
Looking at the flower that was almost overflowing with nectar, his expression became even more surprised.
He really didn't understand why these bright red tulips could have so much nectar, and even... could be drunk directly as honey water.
With the attitude of asking questions when you don't understand, he asked Ryan curiously: "Are these bright red tulips watered with the fountain of life? Or have they been transformed by the Beoril array?"
——In the Oak Garden, these two methods are the most effective in transforming the magic plants.
Of course, his question was not in vain. When he asked, he had already taken out an exquisite magic device that looked like a lotus leaf from his portable space magic device and threw it out gently.
The moment it was thrown out, countless small jade chips flew out from the lotus leaf, with the lotus leaf as the center, combined in mid-air, and merged into the tulip field.
At first glance, it looks like a lot of lotus leaves suddenly grew in the tulip field.
The magic power of the magic pattern was turbulent and changing, and finally water droplets were sprayed out in the flickering patterns. It was a light green spiritual dew, and every drop was filled with vitality.
The tulips are obviously more vibrant with the nourishment of these rain and dew, and their petals are more dazzling, even with a ruby-like luster.
"..."
Ryan looked at the tulips and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Ellie was about to speak in response, but suddenly she felt something and looked to the side.
"hehe."
A somewhat old voice sounded.
There was a hint of praise for the younger generation in his tone: "The Lotus Leaf Rain Dew Magic Device is well used. Which generation is this?"
"Teacher Oak!" Ryan felt relieved and saluted quickly because he really couldn't respond.
Although he admitted that his knowledge was insufficient, he couldn't embarrass Lord Croa like this!
Oak winked at him reassuringly.
When Malocks and Ellie saw the oak tree appear, they bowed their heads slightly in respect. They already felt the blessing of the Mother Goddess of Earth from the oak tree.
"Oak Sage, what Mylox uses is the fifth-generation Lotus Leaf Rain Dew magic device. Dozens of them will be shipped here along with the items in this transaction." Ellie said in a friendly manner.
To put it simply, this thing is a magic device version of cloud and rain magic, but it has some natural magic patterns added to it, which can more realistically imitate naturally falling raindrops and dew.
"You're welcome then." Oak nodded and introduced:
"The tulips here are only nourished by a simple magic array. They are cultivated by my friend Cloya himself." "You can take a closer look. There are not too many magic tools and magic patterns used to assist their growth."
In the civilization of the elves, there seems to be a little resistance to the excessive use of magic power to cultivate magical plants and beasts, and they prefer to pursue natural growth.
This is very strange, because the elves are famous for their ability to use magic to cultivate and improve magical plants, but now they are suddenly pursuing pure natural things, which is really weird.
But the elves are such a weird race.
"Ah? This has not been cultivated with magic patterns?" Mylox was surprised: "But I can feel the fluctuation of magic power here..."
He scratched his hair, pointed at the leaves in the sky and said, "The magic here is so evenly distributed. Could it really be formed naturally?"
To be honest, his doubts are indeed normal.
Because judging from the current magical environment, the magical fluctuations in each ray of sunlight shining through the leaves are almost consistent. Such a subtle magical environment could never be formed naturally.
And there seems to be traces of spiritual comfort for the magic plants and the combination and connection of magic.
Facing Mylox's doubts, Oak simply said: "You can go and have a look yourself. If you can find the magic circle here, I will promise to give you a batch of honey for free."
Malocks actually cast a spell and flew to the leaves of the banyan tree, observing and studying them carefully.
He used as many different magical instruments as possible to check, trying to find any traces of the magic circle from the leaves and branches.
However, it turns out that this was actually formed by the leaves themselves, or rather, the sunlight filtered through the leaves created such a perfect magical environment.
What kind of pure natural godsend is this!
It must be the gift and miracle of the Mother Goddess!
His eyes widened.
The elves have this quirk: in the absence of the influence of the magic circle, the closer the fruits and creations grown in the magic circle environment are, the better they think they are.
There is no doubt that this is the case now - the leaves of the banyan tree naturally form an environment similar to a magic circle, and the scattered sunlight and magic nourish and soothe the tulips.
The nectar grown in such an environment is pure natural nectar!
After realizing this, he took out the contract he had been carrying with him without hesitation: "Let's sign it now. I will give you three magic crystals for every milliliter of honey.
If Tulip gets older, three more magic crystals will be added for every twenty years, and the number will double after a hundred years, with no upper limit.
According to my authority, we can sign a 2,000-year contract, and I will come here again after 2,000 years."
He made this decision without even going to the upper floors to check. He was no longer socially anxious and his eyes were shining.
Such naturally formed treasures will definitely set off a trend among the elves. As long as they are transported back for secondary processing, their value is likely to double or triple.
In front of the huge amount of magic crystals, even he couldn't hold back. After all... research costs money!
How can we research and purchase equipment without magic crystals?
But Orpheus Oak said slowly: "We have no shortage of magic crystals. If you want to sign a contract, you can trade the magic plants and magic creations unique to the elves."
To spice things up, it took out another thing from its own space and showed it to Maloxus.
It was a crystal clear dewdrop.
Very symmetrical teardrop shape.
But inside it reflects the solemn and warm light of the morning sun.
There was still a bit of confusion in Malock's eyes, and he didn't recognize what it was for a moment.
"!!!" But Ellie beside him had already widened her eyes and asked anxiously: "Has Mr. Croix studied that plane thoroughly?"
There was no way she was mistaken.
This must be the "Drop of Morning Dew" that can only be produced in the dark plane.
The glow that appeared in the honey just now is probably the "Sunset Spirit Powder".
These two are the special materials mainly produced by the dark plane. They are pure light that can only be born in the extreme darkness. Although they are only third-level materials, they have special significance even in the Orpheus family.
"Yes." The Oak of Orpheus looked directly at the young Orpheus for the first time. "It is beautiful, isn't it?"
"...Do we have the minerals?" Ellie suppressed her excitement and asked.
Orpheus Oak shook his head: "Not yet."
"Let's focus on this contract first."
"Can you meet my request?"
The positions were instantly reversed. Originally, the elves were the ones who came to purchase and had the advantage, but after demonstrating the pure natural structure of the honey and seeing the drops of morning dew, they immediately became the suppliers with the advantage.
Now it is the elves who are in a hurry to buy, not them who are in a hurry to sell.
After all, Mylox had never done business before, so he agreed immediately: "Sure."
He took out a brand new piece of paper engraved with elven magic patterns, rewrote the contract on the spot, and asked Orpheus Oak what he wanted to trade.
Orpheus Oak was not polite either. The first request he made was the drawings and seeds of the elven moon well and moonlight moss.
A long time ago, it had described to Cloya the magic circle of the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass and the Sea Ganoderma Lucidum, and the advanced version of this thing requires the authentic Moon Well and Moonlight Moss to build.
If one could truly possess all the materials and components needed for this set of magic circles, it would be able to create true "Moonlight Blessing".
That thing can directly increase the efficiency of meditation.
It is more than ten times stronger than the Sea Moon Potion that Cloya is using now. With the Moonlight Dew, Cloya will be able to train his subordinates much faster.
Of course, such treasures, which are equivalent to strategic resources, will not be traded so easily.
The reason boils down to this: the components it needs are Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass, Pure Sea Ganoderma, Moon Well, Moonlight Moss and Magic Array Diagram.
They are almost indispensable. Without any one of them, it would be impossible to produce the moonlight bliss that can directly increase the efficiency of meditation.
Outsiders didn't know that Croa actually had Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass and Sea Ganoderma of such high purity - Ellie might know, but she didn't say it.
Malocks looked at Ellie with some embarrassment and said softly, "Sister Ellie..."
"I promise."
Ai Li agreed immediately, "But you have to add honey with morning dew drops, and the quantity for each transaction cannot be less than 30 milliliters.
The original price can be doubled from three magic crystals to six magic crystals, and the price will also double as the years go by."
Orpheus Oak nodded, "Okay."
Mylox rewrote the contract on the spot, and Ellie and Oak of Orpheus talked here to finalize the contents of the contract.
The final result is: the elves will provide a complete set of moon well blueprints and ten moonlight moss seeds, and the corresponding price is 10,000 magic crystals.
However, Hanjiao Island must provide honey with both magical properties of sunset glow and morning dew, and the monthly output must not be less than sixty milliliters - thirty milliliters of each.
After the transaction of the first batch of 10,000 magic crystals was completed, Hanjiao Island asked for more specialties belonging to the elves, and the transaction time was temporarily set at two thousand years.
If there are more special products during this period, the contract can be expanded and supplemented.
The transaction was a happy one for both the host and the guests, as both parties got the treasures they wanted.
When Ryan pressed down Kloya's seal, his heart was pounding - he actually signed a two thousand year contract!
This is Hanjiao Island, and it is considered a very long contract even among the ones signed between humans and elves.
This kind of exciting joy was beating in his heart, and it made him feel more excited than training.
An idea gradually emerged in his mind: he wanted to go out and do business and sign more business contracts that would be beneficial to Hanjiao Island.
Only in this way can his name remain forever in the history of Hanjiao Island and in the hearts of Croa.
That is something that can never be achieved by training hard!
"I will apply to Master Croix to do business outside!"
He made up his mind.
The Orpheus Oak tree nearby had no idea what the apprentice beside him was thinking. When it saw that the contract had been signed, its mind was completely on the Gray Desert.
As Croa's envoy, Miphien has gone to negotiate with Lord Graysand and inspect the results of the first batch of Ship City. I wonder how it goes?
