Chapter 405: Merron's Worries and Reassurance
"Don, you know, you've been gone for a long time." After the greetings, Mellen Watts looked at Tang Bai with a smile, meaning something, as if reminding Tang Bai of something.
"It's been almost a year, I know." Tang Bai nodded.
"Fountain of Youth." Mellen-Watts said crisply: "The Fountain of Youth, which you brought last time, is already a bit stretched. If you don't come back, Knott and I will probably have to think of another way. Although dragon's blood can last a little time, you know the characteristics of dragon's blood erosion and pollution. Even if those dragons can't reach the blood purity of Norway, but if they are used too much, it is difficult to say what kind of effect it will have on the quality and effect of the clover of life and death. While this may be a good effect, it is also likely to be undesirable. ”
Mellen Watts and Noether's relationship with Tang Bai has formed a strong alliance in the past decade. As long as the interests of the three are still the same, then they are the best partners. Therefore, when Mellen Watts and Tang Bai talked, or made any requests, they didn't need to hide anything, and the relationship between the three of them didn't need these at all.
"I'm sorry, Merron!" Tang Bai stretched out his hand helplessly.
"What's wrong? Could it be that something is wrong with you? You've been away for so long this time, and you just said that something had happened......" Mellen Watts immediately became nervous when he heard this, his originally red face turned pale at this moment, his lips opened and closed quickly, and a series of anxious words blurted out.
"No, no, no, I didn't go to the Fountain of Youth. There won't be any major changes on the Fountain of Youth. Don't worry! I'm out this time. I went to another place. Tang Bai hurriedly interrupted Mellen Watts's words and said comfortingly.
I have to say, Mellen Watts's ability to associate and speculate. It really made him a little embarrassed. But it's no wonder that Mellen Watts makes this association, after all, he didn't tell his whereabouts clearly, but only gave a vague answer.
According to the fact that every time Tang Bai traveled far in the past, he would bring a large amount of spring water from the Fountain of Immortality when he came back, whether it was Mellen Watts or Noether, they all thought that Tang Bai's long journey. It is to collect the spring water of these fountains of youth. Even Tang Bai never said this, but after a few years, it has left such a fixed impression on Mellen Watts and Knott.
Under this impression that has been formed. It's no wonder that Mellen Watts associated Tang Bai's previous saying that he had encountered some troubles with the fact that he had not brought back the Fountain of Youth.
For the current Mellen-Watts and Noether, in addition to the clover of life and death grass, Tang Bai provides the fountain of immortality. It's almost the most important thing in their hearts. Something that is indispensable even before a real replacement is found.
If something big happened to Tang Bai's side, it would soon affect their side. They have gambled all their worth and future on the clover of life and death. Over the years, they have put in countless efforts to make the Clover Grass form a little bit of scale, and in addition to adding some special potions to improve its quality, they can also take out some of them. Provide it to some of the best potions masters under your command for research.
Once there is a shortage of the Fountain of Youth, then they have spent countless financial resources and energy. A little scale and achievement that was created so easily will immediately wither away as if it had encountered a cold winter. Even if there is still dragon blood to be on top at that time, even if they don't lack gold gallons in their hands, how many dragons are there in this world for them to kill?
And how much of the quality of those dragon blood can maintain the three-leaf clover of life and death grass?
Mellen Watts doesn't want his future to be wasted with his own efforts. So he can't be insensitive and nervous.
Of course, Mellen Watts and Nott also hoped that Tang Bai would be able to bring back some more spring water from the Fountain of Youth, but according to Tang Bai's reply, the spring water of the Fountain of Youthless was not real spring water, but needed to be collected regularly and time-consuming.
It is undeniable that this point was nothing in the early days of the cultivation of the clover grass of life and death, but now it has become a restriction that restricts the proliferation of the clover grass of life and death. However, Tang Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Everything in the world is scarce and precious, no matter how precious things are, if they are more numerous and spread out, their value will inevitably depreciate.
As long as the amount of Clover Life and Death Grass can sustain the use of some of its own people, and it can also provide some for analysis and research by some excellent potion masters, as well as a small amount of making some potions, Tang Bai is already very satisfied.
In fact, except for the mother plant of the three-leaf clover grass of life and death, Tang Bai only occupies his own share of the other sub-plants, and the other use and ownership rights are divided into two, and they are all in the hands of Mellen-Watts and Noether.
After all, even if there were all kinds of harsh magic contracts between the three of them, Tang Bai couldn't be a hands-off shopkeeper at the same time, and he didn't give his collaborators the benefits of matching accordingly. Mellen Watts and Nott are not house-elves like Crickloode who are loyal to their masters, hard-working, and don't even want wages. Without enough benefits, why did they saddle up and help Tang Bai carefully? Or even bring him into his circle with his own hands, giving him all the help he can?
As for asking Tang Bai to tell the location of the Fountain of Youth, Mellen Watts and Nott had knocked on the side before, and after getting a tactful reply from Tang Bai, they never made this request in front of Tang Bai again.
The two are not the kind of people who are reckless. Although many things can be said directly to their face according to their relationship, it is not possible to say everything and say it unscrupulously.
For example, when your most important interests are involved?
For Mellen Watts and Nott, the clover is the most important and untouchable interest in their eyes. And Tang Bai, who delegated most of the affairs and power to the two of them, must have a means in their hands to balance and restrain the two of them.
Since contracts with legal effect in the human world can find loopholes, no matter how strict the magic contract is, it is natural that it will not be really perfect. Even if there is a spell of loyalty that seems unsolvable in this world, it is like a contract that plays with language and words, and it is not impossible to look for a point of omission.
The simplest, Mellen Watts and Noether are bound by various magic contracts, and it is impossible for them to do anything for Tang Bai's interests, they can completely slack off, or even pick a son for Tang Bai, or do something else.
Tang Bai may be able to get the final victory and spend some time and energy to re-stabilize the situation. But according to those magical contracts signed between the two parties, even if Mellen Watts and Noether quit, they should get what they deserved, and they can get it after paying some price.
It's just that Mellen Watts and Knott pay attention to the interests in this and are more willing to take care of it themselves. After all, part of the industry they manage is the property that they once belonged to.
Therefore, since Tang Bai delegated the power of the cultivation and use of the Trimrock Life and Death Grass to the two of them, then Tang Bai had no objection to the Fountain of Immortality as a means of restraint.
Their cooperation with Tang Bai is currently very comfortable and harmonious, and they also enjoy this comfort and harmony, similar to the somewhat sensitive topic where the Fountain of Youth, since they have already tested Tang Bai's intentions, then they naturally will not ask again.
Although there will be some slight embarrassment if there is no response, Mellen Watts and Knott also agree that Tang Bai has such a hole card in his hand. If they were in Tang Bai's position, they would have made the same choice.
As for the location of the Fountain of Youth, Tang Bai didn't really deliberately conceal it, in fact, if the Fountain of Immortality existed in this world, then when his strength reached a certain level, he wouldn't mind sharing such a so-called secret. After all, he needs to travel back and forth between the two worlds on a regular basis, and he will definitely get tired of it after a long time.
But for now, there is no one to replace him as a porter. And he is bound to not be able to easily reveal his biggest secret to others.
"Another place?"
Mellen Watts, who was interrupted, wanted to say something, but when he heard Tang Bai's answer, he suddenly stopped talking again, he looked at Tang Bai in a slight amazement, his face was a little pale and frightened by his own conjecture just now, and after his mind calmed down, he gradually returned to normal.
"Yes, another place." Tang Bai spread his hands, and then said to Mellen Watts: "If you expect me to bring back the spring water from the Fountain of Youth, then you will have to wait for a while. ”
"Okay, okay, as long as there are no accidents. Although the Fountain of Immortality water you brought back last time was already stretched thin, with some of the spring water we have accumulated over the years, it can still last a little longer. Mellen-Watts' tone was a little helpless.
That being said, Mellen-Watts is well aware that the fountains of immortality that were accumulated in the past when the original clover was not fully cultivated on a certain scale cannot be sustained for too long now.
Mellen Watts, who was already accustomed to careful planning in the use of spring water, saw that Tang Bai did not leave immediately, and began to carefully calculate the spring water in his hand with a bitter face, and how long he could use it if he tried to save it. (To be continued......)
