Chapter 70: Good things are more grinding
()
"Really? I ......."
In Ace's imagination, after saying that I don't think so, the other party must choose to say something to argue with her, and then the two sides go back and forth, and there is a fierce verbal exchange.
However, the reality is that before she could say anything, she was blocked back by the gem that Vincent took out of his arms.
Magical natural gemstones are essential for all kinds of potions and magic items, and can be used on almost all items related to alchemy. The most crude and simple way to use it is to use it to inlay weapons or armor, once the inlay is successful, it has the effect of greatly improving the quality of equipment.
This is like the ruby in Vincent's hand, which has the effect of causing the enchanted weapon to generate fire damage when attacking the enemy, and the effect of the enchanted armor is to provide passive damage when attacked by the enemy, and provide fire damage to the enemy who is counterattacked.
However, the most prized reason for natural magic gemstones is because of their excellent conductivity. If the size of the gem is sufficient, not less than five centimeters in diameter, it is enough for the magician to carve a high-quality staff from it.
And a ruby staff like this can not only increase the lethality of fire magic, but also reduce the chanting time and casting interval of fire magic, but that is not the real reason why natural magic gems are highly sought after, its most terrifying thing is that it can reduce the mental power consumption of fire magic.
After all, the amount of mental power is the most critical factor in determining whether a mage can continue to fight.
As a result, the value of gemstones doubles with their size.
All in all, it's two words – it's valuable.
For example, the ruby in Vincent's hand, although it is only a small gem less than a centimeter in diameter, it is still a natural magic gem no matter how small.
Whoever you are, you can't want to miss out on the opportunity to buy it.
Ace was no exception, as the Elves returned to Nasta once again and agreed to sign an alliance with the Divine Empire. It was not out of their original wishes, but in the verdant jungle, there was a sudden disaster that was enough to subvert the rule of the Elven Court.
In addition, the new generation of elves is gradually decreasing over time. Therefore, the elven court felt that their control over the verdant jungle was becoming more and more inadequate, and for this reason, they had to change their previous living habits, otherwise, the day of the elven race's destruction might be in the near future.
In order to stabilize the current situation, the Elven Court sent all the royal court guards to search the entire verdant jungle, and brought all the elves who were accustomed to a small village of a dozen people and lived a quiet and stable life back to the area around the Elven Court.
In order to reduce the patrol pressure of the elven army and prevent them from dying tragically at the hands of monsters that have gradually become powerful due to mutations.
Because of this, the Elven Royal Court, which was in internal and external troubles, had to lower its arrogant head of the immortal seed and discuss the possibility of an alliance with the Divine Blessed Empire, even if there were people in the Divine Blessed Empire who tried to trade the Elven King as a slave.
Of course, that was the idea of the high-level of the Elven Royal Court before the incident in the True God Arena.
Because they need the help of the Terrans' wide variety of alchemy materials, as well as a large number of personnel.
Therefore, even if the Terrans were to step into the verdant jungle, a mysterious place where there had been no trace of human existence for countless years, they had to nod their heads and choose to agree.
......
Vincent saw that Ace quickly closed her mouth, so he laughed and said, "I guess this gem is enough to buy those two Rainbow Hearts, right?"
Although Vincent used interrogative sentences, from his tone, there was no doubt at all, but a very certain tone.
"Of course, and more than enough. ”
Ace had to suppress her inner thirst for the detection of Evensy's strength, and seriously answered Vincent's ridicule.
Since the potential of the natural magic gem was discovered, the human race has hardly flowed through such strange things on the ordinary market or the black market because of the war needs with the demon race for many years, let alone the elven race.
Unlike the Terrans, they are slightly proficient in everything, and they don't know what to do with dirty and tiring hard work like mining, and of course they don't want to do it. Even though there were many high-quality veins in the green jungle, they had never tried to dig them on their own.
Originally, the dwarves had never lived in seclusion in the cold mountains, and before they cut off contact with the elves, the elves were able to obtain some natural magic gems from the dwarves through trading.
However, something happened that caused the dwarves to stop the world at all, and live in peace and security in the underground beneath the cold mountains, living the life they love most - mining and blacksmithing.
Seeing Ace reluctantly answering herself as if pinching her nose, Vincent no longer had the intention of teasing her, but directly threw up the gem in his hand, until Ace subconsciously caught it and looked at him with surprise, then said seriously: "Forget the rest of the money." ”
A gemstone of this size costs at least 10,000 gold coins, and it is the kind that has no market value. Generally speaking, in order to ensure that the Tianqing Fortress is not breached, the Divine Blessing Empire has absolute control over such strange things, and for this reason, it has also issued a special decree prohibiting private hoarding of such strange things, otherwise they will be punished as treason.
And every gem vein that may excavate a natural magic gem is stationed with an imperial team equipped with magicians, ensuring that the first time the gem is excavated, it will be sent to the treasure trove of the empire.
And the reason why the Natural Magic Gem has an accurate gold coin price is the reward that the Empire gives to diggers based on the size of the gem.
During the days of talking with Duke Victor, Vincent vaguely guessed the reason why the elves would agree to an alliance with the Divine Blessed Empire.
After all, he had also saved the elves, and knew that when the elves developed to a certain extent, a disaster exclusive to the elves would inevitably follow. And he collated through bits and pieces of information, and was even more convinced that his guess was correct.
[I am a legendary elemental of the three elves who have saved different worlds.] ]
Ace clenched the jewel in her hand, her lips trembling, but she couldn't say anything, as if something was choked in her throat, and she couldn't open her mouth. She understood that someone like Vincent, who directly took the gem and paid for it with the fire gem they needed the most at the moment, must be someone who knew the predicament that the elves were currently facing.
However, what Ace didn't know was that Vincent's move was also to get the attention of the elves, even the elven garrison in Nasta City.
Vincent didn't have time to waste time doing quests to gain his reputation and gain prestige, what he wanted was to be invited into the Elven Court to see if the Elves were in a desperate situation that could destroy them, as he had suspected.
"Alright, you can always lead us to visit the elven residence now. ”
Seeing that Ace seemed to have a relationship brewing for a long time before he could speak, Vincent couldn't help but speak, for him, time was life.
"Well, I'll lead the way for the three of them right away," halfway through speaking, Ace picked out two more from the remaining Rainbow Hearts and handed them to Avella, and after doing this, she said with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, "I'm sorry, but there are many people in our clan who like to eat Rainbow Hearts, so I only have four free disposal, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, we're just trying to be fresh, it's not like you treat it as food. ”
Vincent waved his hand generously, he was not a snack, it didn't matter. However, between Vincent's words, the corner of his eye swept to Avella's happy little appearance, and he was speechless.
"Wait a minute. ”
Waiting for Avensie to put the Rainbow Heart into the space prop again, Ace bowed slightly to apologize as she spoke, and then she walked into the back of the fruit shop in a few steps to deal with some things.
After a while, Ace changed into a dark green cloak and walked up to the three Vincents, who were followed by an elf, presumably a spy who continued to do business for Ace.
As for the elf who came with Ace, he probably knew Vincent's generosity, and took the initiative to bow slightly to the three of them.
And before Ace went out, she said seriously: "Because there are many guard posts around the station, if there is no clerk in charge of the fruit shop as a guide, even if it is a member of the elven court as a guide, the elves in the station will still not allow the human race to step into it." ”
"So be sure to follow in my footsteps. ”
Vincent's brows jumped when he heard this, and then he relaxed: "Very cautious!"
"It has to be. ”
After speaking, Ai walked out of the fruit shop without hesitation, and Vincent and the three naturally followed immediately. Just kidding, wasn't Vincent's generosity just to get into the station? he really didn't want anything to happen on the way.
However, as soon as Vincent stepped out the door, he keenly sensed that there were a lot of eyes staring at him, as if he was guessing what he was all about.
As for Avessie and Avella, their eyes were much less, and for this reason, Vincent couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be because he realized that Evangel was a magician?
Vincent, who was a little confused, had no choice but to speed up and walk up to Ace and ask, of course, the distance between the two was more than eighty centimeters.
"Why are so many people looking at me, is it possible that very few people can be invited into the elven residence?"
Ace secretly felt very satisfied that Vincent had kept enough distance from her, but when she heard Vincent's question, she burst out laughing, and then felt that the joke Vincent was not very good, so she coughed lightly and said with a straight face: "Of course, since we re-established our garrison in Nasta City, we have only invited five Terran powerhouses into the garrison, so isn't it normal to pay attention to you?"
"Really?!Then why don't the two of them get as much attention as me?!Is it a matter of strength? But the snack is not as high as mine. ”
Barely answered, Vincent quickly threw out his second question.
"You should find the answer in yourself. ”
Ace spoke in a very meaningful tone, as if to tell Vincent that it was not the world that was wrong, it was you.
"It's just, it's obviously your own problem. Avella, whom Vincent called a snacker, stuck out her little tongue and grimaced at Vincent as if I was angry.
