Chapter 508: Communication (4000 words)
Crisis.
The biggest crisis Sheil's face since his birth.
His Majesty, King of the Land of Frost, gripped the leaves of the World Tree in his hand, the ashes of which were slowly expanding.
"What should I do?"
Shayl held the leaf to the sun in the sky, the erosion of the gray mist was too small to be mentioned, but Shayl had no way to purify it.
At this rate, within four or five days, the leaf will be completely ashed!
"Your Majesty, the expression on your face is terrible."
Marshal Amter, who was with him, followed Shayl after he left the Frostwolf Clan's priesthood.
He noticed the worried look on Shayle's face at this time.
"What happened to the Frostwolf family is really worrying."
The Frostwolf Family? Shayl was slightly stunned for a moment when she heard the marshal's words, but she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Marshal Amter." Shayl regained his composure, "Go and integrate your warriors, we may have to explore that ruin in a few days." ”
"Yes!"
Shayl watched the back of Marshal Amter's departure, and once again looked at the leaves of the World Tree in his hand.
"Now is not the time to dwell on this."
Shayl clearly knew that she had more to solve than the problem of leaf ashing, and that she was more concerned with the crisis encountered by the frostwolf family.
The monster in that ruins doesn't rule out the possibility of running to the outside world!
This is the most important thing for her to worry about at this stage.
But...
If the leaves were completely ashed, there would be no way for her to log into the net!
When you wake up in the morning, you can't see messages on the caster's forums, you can't chat with the fire-bearer on the text message, and even worse, you can't listen to the Nolan Voice radio when you sleep.
"Uh..."
Shayl couldn't help but cover his forehead when he thought of this, and let out a somewhat strange sigh.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The patriarch of the Frostwolf Clan, who walked out of the priest's hall, saw Shail's haggard appearance, and stepped forward to answer with some concern.
"It's fine." Shayl waved his hand to indicate that he had no problems.
"Your Majesty, the warriors of the Frostwolf Clan are ready to fight."
The patriarch was also very wary of the young king at first, after all, the new king of the land of frost was rumored to be an 'unkind monster'.
But after two days of getting along, in the eyes of this patriarch, he is just a young man who likes to have a cold face, and he is not as terrifying as he imagined, and... The occasional show of concern for his subjects suggests that he is not as difficult to get along with as he seems.
"I'm going to have a combat meeting in the evening, and you'd better not rush into that ruin during this time." The moment Shayl passed by the patriarch, he whispered in his ear, "If you don't want the young people of your clan to continue to become like your second son. ”
The words were still warnings, and Shail's voice did not contain a trace of emotion in the patriarch's ears, but it made him feel a chill that seeped into his bone marrow.
The patriarch instantly realized that this young man could sit in the position of king, in addition to his own bloodline, he also relied on undoubted strength.
The patriarch watched the back of Shail's departure and saluted slightly.
After Shail's words were said about this, he walked briskly towards his abode in Frostwolf City.
When Shayl returned to his residence, he immediately locked the door and waved his hand to open the interface of the magic net.
The signal on the magic network is still yellow.
What to do?
Shayl calmed himself down, and immediately opened the Spellcaster forum, posting a post in the Magical Research section looking for a way to repair the leaves of the World Tree.
The post was still in a bottom-up state as is customary, but it didn't take long for Shayl to get a few fresh replies.
'The leaves of the World Tree are such a rare alchemy material, and at present, only it can refine the potion formula. 'Respondent: Grey and White Owl.
'That old fellow above, what do you want to do with the leaves of the sacred tree?' 'Respondent: Catarian.
No... How to fix it? So what about buying a new one?
Shayl suddenly remembered the Magic Net shopping that the Magic Net had recently opened.
Shayl didn't visit the site much at the time, but he had the impression that it sold a lot of weird stuff.
Shayl immediately logged on to the Magic Net Shopping and searched for it.
"The eggs of crystalline lizards, the bark of the Tree of Evil Fire, the wings of cursed bats...... Didn't you? ”
It took Shayl a long time to search through all the stores on the Magic Net Shopping, and even some of the shops that sold women's clothing.
Unfortunately, none of the items sell the leaves of the World Tree.
It made her heart a little desperate.
Maybe I should ask for another slice from the Grey Coat's mentor? But the person who came to Shail's mind at this time was not the man in gray, but the person who had been chatting with her.
'Can Nolan buy the leaves of the World Tree?' ’
After a few words of greeting, Shayl directly sent out the question she was most concerned about, and waited for nearly ten seconds in a state of unease.
'Yes. ’
The moment Shayl saw the news of the fire-bearer, the surprise in her heart made her shake her fist excitedly.
'I can buy it for you, but where's it delivered?' ’
The news of the fire-bearer was like a harsh cold wind that dispelled the excitement in Shail's heart.
The Land of Frost is tens of thousands of miles away from Nolan, and it would take more than a month for even a flying griffon to ride.
For more than a month, there was no torment of the magic net......
Shayl chose an owl lying on the ground and sent it to the fire-bearer, who immediately replied in type.
'Frostwolf City in the north of the Frost Country, no... The capital of the Land of Frost. ’
Shayl hesitated for a moment, she should have returned to the capital of the Frost Nation in a month.
'Where are you now?' The fire-bearer's inquiry made her typing pause.
'Frostwolf City. ’
'It's a little far, but that's okay... How many leaves are you going to buy? ’
Can it really be delivered?
'How long will it take?' ’
Shayl tentatively asked the question.
'A week or so, if nothing else. ’
Shail's first reaction to the text message was astonishment, but soon doubt took over her.
'Nolan is so far away from the Land of Frost that Nolan's portal isn't open now...... ' Shayl gave an owl a tilted look at the end of the sentence.
'I know a friend who is proficient in teleportation magic, and if he walks from Phalosi, he can reach Frostwolf City in the north of the Frost Land in a week, so how many leaves would you like to buy?' ’
Mastery of teleportation magic? There are indeed some magic spells that can achieve the teleportation effect among the casters, but the magic that affects the space needs to consume a lot of mana, and the distance of teleportation is basically within 100 meters.
But here Shayl chooses to believe in the fire-bearers.
'As much as possible, and the protozoars that carry the terminal of the magic web. ’
With Shail's understanding of the magic net, he clearly understands that the strategic value of this thing is also very terrifying.
She had long had the idea of letting her soldiers use the net, but unfortunately the way to get the leaves of the World Tree was unknown, let alone on a large scale.
But the fire-bearers look like a lot?
If it could be delivered within a week, Shayl might be able to capture the ruin with the power of the leaves of the World Tree.
The gray mist is not only affected by the breath of life of the World Tree, but more importantly... And be affected by the song of that frost elf!
And Miss Tylene's record. Shayl thought of this and immediately added.
'Record? That's fine, but you'd better give me a specific number. Again, the fire-bearer replied.
This made Shayl fall into a short contemplation, the number of soldiers up and down Frostwolf City was about 10,000 in total, and it would definitely not take so many people to explore the ruins, and hundreds of people could be crowded enough to enter it at one time.
However, the leaves of the World Tree can also be damaged.
So Shayl tentatively gave a number.
'One... 1,000 pieces? If it's too much, a hundred pieces will do. Shayl was also very unsure of how many of the fire-bearers had in their hands, so she again attached an owl shy look.
'A thousand?' This is no problem, where is it sent to Frostwolf City? ’
Is there really one?!
'Just go to the west gate!' Your friend informed me with the magic web before he was about to arrive. Shail's message was edited here, and his feelings of gratitude began to gradually turn to doubt.
'These leaves must be expensive, right?' She asked.
It is said that just eating a piece can speed up the recovery of the wound, and the alchemy material is indeed very expensive, and as a medium to connect the magic net, the price must also be saved up a little bit, although the market has not yet flowed through, but it is said that the price in the Nolan black market is between two hundred gold coins and one thousand gold coins. ’
The fire-bearer gave a very detailed answer.
That... The amount of money needed for a thousand leaves is not a small number.
'I can't afford that much. ’
Shayl gave an owl an expression covering his cheek, realizing that he didn't have that much money on hand.
'So a little less?' By the way, give you a discount? Said the man who spread the fire.
'Two hundred and twenty-seven pieces. Shayl recalled the reserves in the treasury and gave a reasonably reasonable figure.
'No problem. ’
After negotiating the agreement, Shayl exhaled slightly, but she still had a lot of doubts.
That's it... Trust me? Shayl hesitated for a moment, but sent the message out anyway.
She could vaguely guess the identity of the person who spread the fire, and she was also curious about her identity.
And he ...... himself so much Friendly reasons.
But Shayl forced himself not to dwell on it.
Sort of, but my friend reassured me, and that's the point. ’
When Shayl saw this reply from the fire-bearer, the corners of his mouth didn't know when a smile had already appeared.
Then please. She ended up giving an owl a bowing expression.
…………………
"Please?"
Qiao Xiu stopped the editor of the newsletter and looked out the window, then put on his coat and left the study.
After the World Tree takes root in the center of Nolan, Josiu needs to go to the center of Nolan to get new leaves.
It took Joshua two hours to drive the magic guide car to the central region of Nolan, which was shrouded in a powerful magical barrier, and there was a thing like the 'Eye of Sauron' on top of the central tower.
The barrier was controlled by the man in white, and Qiao Xiu didn't have much contact with the sage, but after he saw Qiao Xiu, he still opened the entrance to the magic barrier.
Qiao Xiu came all the way to the big pit in the center of Nolan unimpeded.
"Grown a lot taller?"
Qiao Xiu looked at the World Tree, which was already two people tall.
"Watchman, what are you doing here?"
The ice dragon lying next to the World Tree was still the most eye-catching, its huge dragon head approaching Qiao Xiu, and its ice-blue vertical pupils were still full of vigilant looks.
"Plucking." Qiao Xiu said a word that was enough for the guardian of the World Tree to banish Qiao Xiu.
But the ice dragon's reaction was surprisingly calm, because the incarnation of the World Tree had already appeared on the ground in front of Qiao Xiu.
"You also saw the message of the text message just now." Qiao Xiu half-squatted down and said to the white cat.
At this moment, Qiao Xiu actually saw an expression called 'reluctance' on the white cat's face, but it was still very obedient and shook off the vines on his body, and a large pile of leaves fell like rain.
But the leaves were all on Qiao Xiu's hands, as if they were being pulled by something, and they were folded into two stacks.
This scene is enough to make all OCD laugh happily.
After more than two hundred leaves fell into Qiao Xiu's hands, the white cat also spit out a pale green crystal.
"New crystals?"
Qiao Xiu picked up the oval-shaped World Tree crystal, and the magic power contained in it was more than half less than the previous crystal.
At the moment when Qiao Xiu picked up the crystal, the ice dragon suddenly spoke.
"The Sacred Tree has just asked me to convey to you, 'This is the place I should be guarding, there were many incomprehensible mutations there before I was destroyed, and the magic web will be my eyes to figure out what happened to that frozen land!' ”
"Are you still haunted by your past hometown?"
Qiao Xiu looked at the white cat that was licking its paws, and stretched out his hand to rub its forehead.
"Don't worry, I'll deliver your token safely."
Qiao Xiu collected the leaves and crystals of the two hundred pieces of the World Tree, left the center of Nolan directly, and drove directly to the entrance of the underground dwarf city in the magic car.
