Chapter 232: Elven Forest's Cooperation
"Huh~"
In the interval between Garcia's statements, the black dragon felt a slight sound behind him, his vertical pupils with slits moved, and he let go of the claws that held the elven queen, and turned his head away without listening to her whispering.
Luna rubbed her eyes, propped up the scales like a solid wall, and turned out of Caesar's adjustable movable mezzanine, and said in a daze: "Caesar, are you fighting with people again, the movement is so big." ”
"Nope."
The Black Dragon Lord's voice was soft, and he said calmly, "Garcia is here, and I am talking to her about the Elven Forest. ”
"Your Majesty is here?"
The little guy flapped his wings, climbed on top of the head of the huge black dragon, and lay on it to greet the elf queen, and the picture was slightly joyful.
Luna was very sensible, and just said hello and retracted, knowing that Caesar might have something to talk about with Garcia, so she didn't waste time, and was ready to wait for them to finish talking before pulling Garcia to chat.
After all, after a while, Luna naturally cared about the situation of the Elven Forest and her parents.
The little guy woke up, Caesar's fierce momentum was suppressed a little, no longer so condescending, and after a pause, the Black Dragon Lord spoke again: "The reason why I came to you is to talk about two things, let me ask first, how many metal mines are there in the Elven Forest now?" ”
The Northland is remote and barren, and minerals have always been a major concern for Caesar, and now the black dragon in this situation has a real and realistic need for minerals, but even if he pockets all the countries of the Northland, it will only add three veins to him, and none of them have any magical deposits.
Not enough, it's not enough!
Before obtaining other ways to replenish energy, Caesar naturally hit the Elven Forest, which has huge mining value.
"In the deepest part of the Elven Lake, there is a Mithril mine, and in addition, there are two metal mines in the central region." Garcia replied accurately, as the leader, she was still very clear about this situation in the Elven Forest.
"Haven't moved?"
Caesar asked curiously, according to what he knew, it has been at least more than a thousand years since the Elven Forest was prepared, and those veins still exist.
"No, we don't have a demand for minerals."
Garcia said that many times, the elves could use magic to use wood instead of steel, so this was indeed the case.
However, this also revealed another message, what Luna told him before was purely hearsay, and there could be no metal dragon lurking in the Elven Forest.
Even in the good camp, the metal dragon cannot resist the endless greed for wealth.
"Good."
Caesar smiled with satisfaction, "After a while, I will send the Kobold Clan to the Elven Forest to be responsible for mining minerals and feeding them into the Black Wing's Lair." ”
Subconsciously, this guy has regarded the Elven Forest as his own mediocre subordinate.
But Garcia rejected him: "No. ”
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to the creatures of the Elven Forest, and I'll try my best to restrain the family and avoid damaging your environment."
"Nope."
Unexpectedly, Caesar's request was sternly rejected by Garcia for the second time: "I will never allow the evil aliens to enter the forest of elves." ”
“?”
Caesar narrowed his eyes, feeling his majesty provoked, and shook his body to his feet, bowing his huge head and looking down at Garcia.
According to the Black Dragon Lord's assumption, things shouldn't have developed like this, and it stands to reason that the Elven Queen Garcia Yufeng should be obedient to him.
Could it be that Garcia's temperament was broken back by the moon god?
This time, Garcia was not timid, his blue silver pupils were full of firm conviction, and he bravely looked directly at the powerful and hideous Black Dragon Emperor.
Caesar had a misjudgment, and Garcia's bottom line was never herself.
After a long period of reversing the corruption, Garcia did have an aberration, and also had a certain tendency towards the Black Dragon Lord, in this case, Caesar asked her to do anything, even if she became a slave girl, Garcia could accept it.
But when it comes to the Elven Forest, Garcia will not budge, and if she wants to hurt the Elven Forest by interfering herself, she would rather die.
That hasn't changed.
"You're rejecting the cooperation of the Black Wing's Lair."
Caesar pressed his head down, his fangs glinting, "The Forest of Elves will die for your ignorance." ”
The voice was not small, and Xiao Luna, who was concentrating on painting, also listened.
The little one's hand shook slightly, glanced in the direction where the black dragon was, and then muttered twice, and threw himself back into his own business, because he was very confident that Caesar would not do that.
- The stupid dragon is scaring His Majesty again.
"We have a mutually acceptable plan, Dragon King."
Garcia said softly, "Without your kobolds entering the Elven Forest, our tree shepherds can rebuild the environment, while the flower fairies are responsible for surveying the mines, and the Tiya elves know how to mine." ”
"Of course, this is cooperation, and you need to pay the people of the Elven Forest a gratuity."
Garcia added that the current concept of the Elven Forest has been reversed, and it is no longer the Elven Forest that advocates unpaid labor, and the consciousness of distribution according to work and ability is becoming prominent.
Due to the existence of the queen, of course, Caesar could not wipe out the elven forest, although the elves were not as good at doing this as the kobolds, and the efficiency was not much higher, but he could accept this proposal.
"Don't you have no need for material things?" The black dragon snorted twice.
"Yes."
Garcia did not shy away: "But the good race also has the need to eat." ”
"Both the Chimera and the Giant Eagle are actually omnivorous creatures, and although they are able to feed on branches and roots, I encourage them to swallow meat at the same time, and these meats ...... All need external input. ”
After all, it is impossible for the Elven Forest to produce and sell its own products and devour its own kind like the Nest of Black Wings.
"Okay, so be it."
Caesar nodded in agreement, and then brought up the second thing: "I ask if there are any iconic items that can represent you, or the Elven Forest, and the requirement is not to be rare and expensive." ”
The question of the black dragon is inexplicable, and Garcia's first thought was originally the moon dew, but the other party's request cannot be scarce, so it can only be ruled out.
She thought for a moment and said tentatively, "The Ancient Tree of Knowledge...... of leaves? ”
"Leaves? Is it a lot? ”
"There is a grove of ancient trees of knowledge in the Elven Forest."
The Ancient Tree of Knowledge is not the name of a single tree in the Elven Forest, but an entire tree species that has a rigid demand for growing conditions, and only appears and takes root in the soil where shepherds and unicorns are distributed.
Some special, blessed Ancient Trees of Knowledge have a very small chance of growing branches and sprouts with magical powers.
For example, the last time Caesar captured Garcia, the Luna Staff "Spring" destroyed by the Dustless Lands was a magical item created by the Tia elves through a unique enchantment using the branches of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge as materials.
"Then the leaves, the right size."
Caesar nodded with satisfaction: "Send a batch of well-preserved ones first, and at the same time I need to borrow the name of the Elven Forest, don't you mind?" ”
"Why?"
Garcia became vigilant, and at the same time slightly puzzled, not knowing what the Black Dragon Lord's main knowledge of the ancient tree leaves was doing.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."
Eladia does not yet have the concept of the right to reputation, as long as it is not used for evil, Garcia should not refuse, Caesar explained: "If the Northland countries want to develop a new industry and make a commodity, one of the specifications of the target group needs to be sold in the name of the Elven Forest, and it needs to be signed on it. ”
"Of course, whether you agree with it or not, I will use it."
Caesar raised his head: "I call this an authorization, and along with the leaves of the ancient tree, I will pay the Elven Forest a certain amount of payment." ”
After the matter was discussed, the Black Dragon Lord left the Emerald Palace, giving Luna and Garcia time to catch up.
He was going to go to the pastures of the manticore lion and the boar people to take a look, the Blackwing clan was gradually expanding, although there were many territories now, and they could also suck blood from the Northland countries to survive, but it would be best if they could always be self-sufficient.
