Chapter 915: Water Elemental Plane (7)

When it came to her own life, Elizabeth immediately became shrewd: "Living in the water elemental plane, of course, you will believe a little more or less, even if you are not a devout person, you should maintain a sense of awe. ”

I said, "Before you came here, were you a follower of the god of the sea, Osuniel?" ”

Elizabeth's eyes darkened slightly, and she continued to stare at the water in the distance, and said, "Sort of, but this kind of thing is not much different to the gods, isn't it?" ”

I took a bite of the fruit sandwiched between two slices of fish.

A spicy smell rushes straight to the nostrils!

Then, the unusual sweetness of the fruit dilutes the spiciness.

My eyes widened, and Elizabeth gave me a sly smile.

"It's a liquor fish, and if you eat too much, you'll get drunk......," Elizabeth explained, "In the past, poor people who couldn't afford to buy wine used to go out to sea to catch it, but now it's more expensive than wine......

I took a few sharp bites, swallowed the mixture of liquor and sweetness, felt a hot breath in my stomach, and reached for the rest of the spirits fish on my plate—there were many types of dim sum, almost always one or two pieces of each.

"If you like the taste, we have a lot of stock," Elizabeth said, "but unfortunately the spirits are not suitable for farming ......"

I peeled aside the top slices of fish and twisted the fruit in the middle.

"What is this?" I asked.

Leo realized something and said, "Huh? Isn't it sweet? ”

Elizabeth was a little surprised, and seemed a little confused about my focus: "Fruit? It's just a very common coral fruit......"

"The sugar is high." I said to Leo.

At the same time, I asked Elizabeth: "Wild or grown?" Where is it made? ”

"Wild, no one can domesticate," said Elizabeth, "and it's on the reef over there, three days from here...... Excuse me, do you want to use it to make sake or sweets? ”

I said, "Pretty much ......."

Elizabeth shook her head: "Coral fruit is only delicious when combined with spirits fish, otherwise, it cannot be used to make wine or make sweets, especially when made sweets, the taste will become bitter......"

"I'll go, it's not sucrose, it's saccharin!" Leo said.

"And," said Elizabeth, who seemed to have guessed my intentions, "the coral fruit grows only there, and cannot be grown anywhere else." ”

"It doesn't matter," I said, "I think I can buy it with you." ”

"Business is not my forte," said Elizabeth, "but the opportunity to do business with such a powerful magician is a rare one, and I can't afford to miss it, and you can try something else, and perhaps, there will be more surprises." ”

"I've seen the rest," I said, "but it's good to have a taste, and by the way, we can continue the conversation, and I want to know more about the Sea Race." ”

Elizabeth fluttered her tail, stirred up a circle of water lines, and said: "There is not much difference from the races on land, they are all running for life, some people are high up, serving the god of the sea, well, no matter which god of the sea, someone needs to serve, these people who serve the gods, need people of lower rank to serve, and so on, until the lowest slave, not only to serve their superiors, but also to ensure that they can live......"

"You have a very good idea," I picked up a dessert that is very common in human society and tasted it, "if you were stronger, maybe you could do better, not a small gang leader, a part-time businessman, a pirate or something......

Elizabeth turned her head sharply to look at me with a very serious expression.

In the moonlight, her face was sinister and beautiful, even if it didn't fit my aesthetic - Leo admired it, after all.

"I love the look!" Leo almost didn't scream, "Although it's a kraken, it's a woman!" ”

"You...... Why? She asked cautiously.

I smiled meaningfully.

She suddenly understood what I meant, her face changed, and she waved at the group of maids.

The maid left, and the courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of water in the distance remained, and the faint sound of fighting, to be precise, the sound of being beaten......

Elizabeth stared at me with burning eyes, her eyes reflecting the faint moonlight.

This moonlight did not come from the sky, but from the pool, where the moon had just risen.

"Just curious," I said, "like a king who builds mansions all over the country, and it may take years before he passes by for a night......

Elizabeth smiled knowingly and helplessly: "I really can't guess what the magicians think...... However, if you wish, you have more power than the king. ”

"I have some worldly properties, and although the water elemental plane doesn't have much to sell and I don't want a lot of raw materials, I can have a subordinate who can take advantage of it," I said, "It's as simple as that." ”

Elizabeth obviously didn't believe me, but I couldn't say, "You're of little use, but I have a partner who thinks we need a female subordinate......"

"Well, it's really hard to choose......" Elizabeth turned her face and whispered, "I don't have any strong strength, and the gang can only show off among ordinary people here, and I am not taken seriously by the magicians at all, I didn't expect a powerful magician to want to recruit me...... Well, if I were to be the one guarding the mansion, I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to do it myself......"

"It's not something you should worry about," I smiled, "as long as you do your job, I, as an employer, will of course pay you accordingly, including the strength to protect the mansion." ”

"Sounds tempting," Elizabeth blinked, "but I haven't said yes yet......

When I heard this, I suddenly remembered D'Ambro.

"Well, it's not the same when it comes out of a woman's mouth," Leo said, "even if it's a Siren......

"You have no room to refuse." I had a somewhat overbearing expression.

"Hey, that expression was supposed to be ...... by me," Leo said.

"There's really no chance of refusing...... Elizabeth looked a little scared, leaned back, and looked around again, as if looking for protection.

"It's an opportunity, depending on how you take it," I said, "you know that there are several forces here, and I could have cooperated with the Lighthouse Society, but the magicians don't like these small businesses, so it's better to look for them than to look for you, and if you refuse me, I'll have to find another gang......"

"Not only can't you refuse, but you're going to lose some life?" Elizabeth was even more afraid.

"Make a choice," I said, "I know it's immoral to bully a weak person like this, but it's in your hands, isn't it?" ”

"I've never seen such a domineering approach!" Elizabeth clutched her chest in fright, "I've seen savage and brutal slaughter, I've seen powerful and weird magic, I've never seen a ...... like you so politely threaten people."

"You see it now," I said, "and make a decision." ”

Elizabeth looked at me, and then at Ricardo, who had been standing aside.

Ricardo's eyes were also exceptionally bright in the night, and the moonlight reflected in the pool reflected in Elizabeth's eyes.

"Alas......"

Elizabeth sighed.

I picked up another piece of snack that looked like a conch and bit into it.

It is a sweet and savory pastry wrapped in salted fish.

The salted fish is very crispy, there are no bones, the salty and fresh taste is just diluted by the pastry, and the taste is not bad, but there is no specialty.

Elizabeth had actually made a decision, but still made a hesitant and tangled expression.

Of course, I knew what she was waiting for, and I didn't debunk it, and tasted the rest of the snacks one by one.

By the time I finished eating, the time had only passed in five minutes.

"How?" I asked unhurriedly, "By the way, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is almost done fighting over there......"

Elizabeth's eyes measured for a moment, and then, as if she had made a decision, she still said with a face full of grievances: "Do I have the right to refuse?" ”

"Yes, yes," I said, "but with the consequences of that choice." ”

"You're the first magician I've ever seen who has such a grand reputation for bullying the weak."

"No way, I'm just a mage," I smiled and shrugged, "Who called me an orc?" ”

"Okay...... Elizabeth said with a helpless expression, "there is no other choice anyway." ”

I said, "That's fine, from now on you're my subordinate." ”

"Yes, my lordship!" Elizabeth said as if she was forced.

"Okay," I didn't mean to accompany her around the bend again, anyway, her weak woman's style, only Leo looked comfortable, so I said directly, "I need as much detail as possible about the Kraken and the merfolk, including population distribution, power resources...... Also, you don't have to call me an adult, just call me, well, since it's business, just call me boss. ”

Elizabeth's face was a little more serious: "Okay, boss, it seems that you seem to be interested in the ocean world of the main plane, but what I can provide you with is only the news from more than ten years ago, you might as well ask someone directly in the trading market or other planes." ”

I said, "I'll do that too, but I need your information to make a comparison ......."

"What a thoughtful superior," said Elizabeth, "and you're a high-ranking nobleman among the orcs, aren't you?" ”

I said, "I'm just a commoner, and you should know by the color of my coat and skin, though, I would have had a chance to become an upper-class nobleman." ”
