Chapter Eighty-Six: The Patriarch
"Is this a magic liquid crystal?"
In the dark space, only the lights were lit, and an old voice resounded.
On the semicircular table, six or seven figures sat down. Lilith and Sancho, standing at the round table, were asked about the successes and failures of Navarre's party.
On the round table, a triangular bottle containing a magic liquid crystal with many fingernails was quietly placed.
"Since the destruction of the Elven Empire, with the death of the last ancient druid on the Last Continent, this kind of craft has not been seen in hundreds of years. ”
The light was close, and the magic liquid crystal in the bottle looked a little cloudy.
"Unfortunately, the craft is a bit rougher. ”
"If you can dispatch the Chimera, then the opposing forces at least already have the Tree of Eternity. ”
"This time, the brotherhood made great efforts, and even invited the troops of the two legions of the Silver Helmet Knights, but it still failed, and I am afraid that the aftermath will be troublesome. ”
"Navarre's lion is not a simple character, he easily took over the rule of the three princely states, and I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future. ”
"That's not all, the magic liquid crystal in front of us is very rough, but we don't know how much the forces that cooperate with Rayso have mastered the process of refining the magic liquid crystal?"
"Refining an innocent magical liquid crystal is not an easy task, and it takes at least an eternal druid to do it. ”
The figure in the darkness, surrounding this bottle of magic liquid crystal, you and I said it sentence by sentence, without paying attention to Sancho, who was a crown prince in front of him.
"My lords, what is the origin of the magic liquid crystal, and why is it worth your attention?" asked Lilith beside Sancho, puzzled.
"Magical liquid crystal was a craft developed by an ancient druid at the height of the Elven Empire. In ancient times, there was a custom among the elves that every elf who became a druid would chew a leaf from the ancient tree of knowledge every day as a sign of respect for the spirit of nature. Later, the ancient druid discovered a secret from this custom. That is a class of substances contained in the leaves of the ancient tree of knowledge, a kind of substances that are more efficient than red salt. He named it Ena. After years of research, he extracted the purest enana from the leaves of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge and made it into a magic liquid crystal. ”
There was no shortage of learned men in the fraternity. The elven classics have died a lot since ancient times, and even though they have mastered the process of extracting magical liquid crystals, they don't know what the substance resembling red salt in the ancient tree of knowledge is, but a human being thousands of miles away, but they know their own history better than the elves themselves.
"But I see that this magic liquid crystal is not much different from red salt!"
A chuckle sounded, but it was more mocking for Lilith's words.
"It's true that the current magic liquid crystal is muddy and inefficient, not much different from ordinary red salt. For a magician below level 20, this is indeed enough. However, for high-ranking magicians, ordinary red salt was far from enough. Especially the legends, the Stigmata Mages, their bodies have been cultivated to the limit, and it is extremely difficult to improve by one point. Ordinary red salt could not meet their needs at all, and the refined magic liquid crystal, contained in it, was able to meet the needs of those high-ranking magicians. ”
"I see, so that kid has an amazing thing in his hands?"
"It's incredible. ”
"Then why don't we take it into our hands. As soon as he finished speaking, Sancho spoke. His voice was full of greed and a hint of bitter hatred.
"Presumably now, the Magic Alliance has also noticed the matter of the Magic Liquid Crystal. This matter is no longer something that can be solved in secret. ”
A sigh came, as if a treasure had been missed, and it spread faintly.
.......
"Who's that old man?"
When Will woke up from his bed and came to the square outside the lord's room to breathe in the fresh air, he found an old man in black robes, sitting upright on the loess outside the Naya barrier, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
The elven girl Arya stood beside Will, brought him breakfast, and said, "He said that he was an envoy from the Southern Magic Alliance, and he came to meet your lordship. ”
"Oh, let him in. Will muttered as he took a piece of white bread in his mouth.
The old man couldn't tell how old he was, and his gray beard and wrinkled skin had long exceeded the standard by which age could be judged by appearance.
"The elves have declined to this point, and I can't imagine that we will be able to see the Eternal Tree. What I didn't expect was that it was actually a human who mastered this elven city. Old man Smith, who came on behalf of the Southern Magic Alliance. ”
Will sat in his place and looked at the old man with an inexplicable look on his face.
Who the old man in front of him was, Will knew it. Fire Scythe Smith is a veteran of the Magic Alliance, a stigmata-level magician. Magicians of this level, they don't care about the power of the world at all, but their influence can penetrate every corner of the world.
"Magic Alliance, I don't know what's going on?"
The old man took the herbal tea handed by Arya, took a sip slightly, and said, "Good tea! Except for the elf place, it is difficult to find a place in the human world that can provide such pure herbal tea!"
The old man sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "The old man is a magician, not a businessman, so I'll just say it." Magic LCD, we old things care a lot. How far can you do it now?"
"You're welcome!" Will sighed slightly, then smiled, "I have mastered this craft, but it will take some time to refine it to the point where you high-ranking people can use it." ”
"None of us old fellows are proficient in natural magic, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so troublesome. The old man was very simple, so simple that Will listened to it with a hint of harshness.
The implication is that if they could, they would just grab it.
What it was like to be targeted by a group of Stigmata mages, Will now finally understood something.
"So now, what do you bigwigs want?"
"Time, what we have is. We can also dedicate resources to you and open up trade routes to the countries of the South. But there is one thing, we need to purify the magic liquid crystal, seventy percent. ”
"You're so dark!"
The old man smiled, as if he didn't bother to answer Will.
Will thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but I have one more request. ”
"What?"
"Brotherhood!"
