Chapter 639: Tea Seeds, Compradors
After being silent for a long time, Niya suddenly moved her shoulders and said to Xia Duo, "I am actually looking for you today for another matter. ”
"Oh?" Seeing that Nia seemed to be about to get down to business, Shado walked away from behind her, sat back down across from her, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Some time ago, there were a lot of merchants from Connefila City, and more and more elves have recently entered Savile Town, and they want us to send a ship to take them to the north."
When Nia said this, she took a cautious look at Shador, the territory cannot be unlimited ships, each ship has its own purpose, and at present, the only idle ship near the Savile territory is Shado's "Lucky Owen".
Xia Duo heard what Nia meant, and it was a good thing to send the group of unstable factors away, but the "Owen" had to carry food to Linshui Village often recently, and for a long time afterward, Xia Duo could not let this ship go for months.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo didn't refuse, but said, "Remember the fleet that I contacted Belera to transport the new consultes after the snowmelt race?" Counting the days, it should be in the near future, those guys won't be able to wait for a few days, right? ”
Hearing Xia Duo say this, Nia's eyes suddenly lit up, "Another ship is coming?!" There should be more than 2,000 people in the Great Xia Territory now, right? ”
"Almost, I don't know if the dragon plague will affect the transportation of the new people, if everything goes well, then there should be nearly 10,000 people in the Great Xia Territory this year."
"It's really good, I think when the ancestors came to the south to open up, they only brought a few thousand people." Nia was emotional.
"That's the current policy, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has provided a lot of support to the pioneers."
Speaking of this, Xia Duo is also very emotional, although there are reasons for the overpopulation of the mainland over the years, but whether people give it or not is not something he can say, only from this point of view, the princess is indeed a firm pioneer.
Feeling that the topic was a bit far away, Xia Duo went back to the ship, "The ship that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will send magic materials to the Tower of Time this quarter should be almost there!" I don't believe that in just a few days, Drow will be able to fight all the way to Connefila City, break through the five mage towers, and then hit us. ”
"It's unlikely."
Nia agreed with Xia Duo's words very much, but she had a headache when she thought of those messy inland merchants and elven refugees, "Forget it, let that Aurips patriarch have a headache, it's not that the Savile Leader doesn't provide ships, it's just that he has to wait a few more days." ”
"That's right, whether it's those mainland merchants or elven refugees, Patriarch Oreps is very useful."
Xia Duo smiled, took out the jar of "Bonu Original Leaf", and was about to show off it with Niya, of course, but also to share it, but he didn't expect Niya to recognize it at a glance, "It's 'Bonu Original Leaf', from that Aureps Patriarch?" ”
"Hmm."
"It seems that the Patriarch of Oreps really wants to stay in the human world!" Nia said suddenly, meaningfully.
"How?"
"Elves have always strictly forbidden the 'Bonu original leaf' to flow into the human world, it is said that long-term drinking, is conducive to improving the affinity with the magic net, which is very precious even in the elf country, any elf dares to sell the 'Bonu original leaf' to humans on the surface, will be punished."
Nia looked at the hollowed-out Mithril jar in Xia Duo's hand, and her mood was a little depressed, "My father spent a lot of money to buy some from the black market in Connefila City, and it was less than a quarter of what you had in this jar. ”
As if suddenly thinking of something, Nia leaned towards Xia Duo, and lowered her voice a lot, "Maybe you should ask the Aureps patriarch to see if you can find the tea tree seeds, there are so many elf refugees, maybe there are elves with the seeds!" ”
After listening to Nia's words, Xia Duo couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't drink this tea, and he was thinking about other people's tea tree seeds, but Nia's words also reminded him that not only tea tree seeds, but also elves are mostly rich (at least compared to humans), maybe they can really find some treasures!
It is definitely not possible for humans to come forward, after all, even if it is broken, most elves still have a kind of condescending attitude towards humans, but it is just right for the elves to come forward "their own people".
The only question now is whether the Patriarch of Orips is willing to be this "elven traitor comprador"!
Xia Duo had never seen an elf behave almost like the Patriarch of Aureps, almost the same as a human merchant, and I think he should be willing to do so as long as the conditions are right!
But elves are elves after all, and it's not easy to ask directly about this kind of thing, otherwise if it is rejected, this already relatively harmonious relationship may have to go back to its original shape.
Seeing Niya's expectant look, Xia Duo couldn't bear to break her cold water, but said, "I'll find a chance to talk to him." ”
"Then you have to hurry up, when the ship comes, they are gone, and it will be too late!"
"What's late, the supply point in the east, and the city of Connefila, there are so many elven refugees, it's not that only these elves who come to Savile can have tea tree seeds!"
But having said that, Xia Duo still wanted to talk to the Aureps patriarch as soon as possible, after all, these elves who could come to Savile were at least high-level mages in their families, but they were temporarily recruited away.
In terms of possibility, it is indeed true that these elves who came to Savile were the most likely to possess tea tree seeds.
……
After talking about the elven refugees, Xia Duo and Nia didn't talk about any other topics, but watched the development scene of the Great Xia Lords outside the window, while quietly drinking tea and enjoying this rare leisure time.
In the afternoon, Xia Duo was ready to return to Linshui Village, but this time he did not return alone, but invited an elf friend to come with him.
Waterfront Village, Altar Square.
Two figures standing side by side suddenly appeared in a corner of the square, it was Xia Duo who had just returned from the legend and the elf Aureps, looking at the familiar scene around him, Xia Duo introduced to Aureps:
"Patriarch Aurips, this is Linshui Village, welcome to the Great Xia Territory!"
"What a nice territory!" Orips looked around and gave a small compliment.
But this is not entirely commercial hype, as when he first teleported here, Oreps was first attracted by the neat, almost identical cluster of wooden houses on the north side of the square.
The path between the wooden houses, and the square at the foot, are also paved with the same bricks, and although the buildings and pavements are still rough and not very beautiful in the eyes of the elves, they also have another strange beauty of order.
When he put aside his prejudice and lowered his posture, Orepus found that many advantages of humans and the human world were worth learning from the elves, and thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Lord Xiado, can I visit the Great Xia Lord?" ”
"Of course, I'll let Priest Leiden show you around!"
As he spoke, Leyton arrived, and although he was a little puzzled why the lord had brought an elf to the territory, he still didn't have any rudeness in front of the elves, except for saluting the lord, and also slightly greeting Oreps.
Seeing Leiden coming, Xia Duo immediately ordered: "Leiden, you take this elf friend around the territory!" ”
After speaking, he said to Oreps, "Patriarch Oreps, you can ask Leyton if you have any questions, if he can't answer them, I will answer them for you later." ”
"Thank you, Lord Chardo."
……
Watching the two leave, Xia Duo summoned Leyton again, carefully admonished him, and then came to the cafeteria, where he was going to prepare some food for his elven friend.
