Chapter 660: Common Interests, Four Treasures
"Yes!"
Xia Duo expressed his affirmation very bluntly, and at the same time asked rhetorically, "Isn't the elven mage engaged in the cultivation field?" β
"Nope!"
Oreps immediately denied it, "If you have a magical talent, how can you waste it in the field of cultivation?" Just let those druids do it! β
ββ¦β¦β
Saying this, how does Xia Duo feel that the other party is showing superiority! Elven mages do have different magical talents from humans, both in terms of choice and in requirements.
In the elven world, mages are a very noble profession, a real profession, similar to off-duty researchers, those elves who are also mages in the eyes of humans, are actually not mages at all, depending on what their essential work does.
In the human world, a mage is more of a basic ability, and those who possess this ability can engage in other professions, such as lords, researchers, warriors, guards, craftsmen, and so on.
This is a semantic deviation between the two sides, and Xia Duo did not delve into this issue, otherwise, two races are involved, and the concepts and languages are different, and it will not be able to finish it for a few days and nights.
He just said, "There are some apprentices in the Tower of Time who are willing to work in the field of cultivation, and I am going to plant the Bonu tea tree in the Arcane Garden, and it will be more convenient for a human mage to take care of it." β
In fact, his real plan is to use the new druids that are sprouting in the territory, even if the apprentice of the Tower of Time is willing to engage in the cultivation field, Xia Duo is still unwilling.
At this stage, whether it is for them to engage in education, research, or just to work as a magic technician, it is more appropriate than letting them farm!
This is like Xia Duo's hometown, in Xia Duo's era, there were many people with doctors and masters who farmed, but if you go back a few decades, even high school students are not willing to farm.
The current Tower of Time really doesn't have the luxury of using a mage to farm.
Although he rejected Orepus's idea of providing a druid, thinking that the condition for him to provide a druid was to obtain seeds, Xia Duo proposed, "When the Bonu tea tree grows up, I am willing to provide a batch of seeds for the Silver Leaf family, and even dedicate an area in the Arcane Garden of the Tower of Time for the Silver Leaf family to plant tea trees." β
"Thisβ" Oreps was instantly moved, but the elves' habits still made him a little uncomfortable with accepting gifts from humans.
"That's it!"
Xia Duo saw that Orepus was moved, and the expression of wanting and being a little embarrassed was indeed a little funny, so he immediately made a decision to avoid Oreps being embarrassed.
In fact, even if Aureps doesn't mention it, Xia Duo is ready to wait until the tea tree grows to provide seeds for Aureps and establish a closer cooperative relationship.
At present, the basis of cooperation between the two sides is only that Oreps wants to stay in the human world to develop, and Savile can provide certain convenience and protection, and there is no very close common interest.
It's just that one day he turned his face, and Xia Duo is not strange at all.
The joint cultivation of Bonu tea is different, Comanso strictly prohibits the "Bonu original leaves" from flowing into the human world, and it is very difficult for even elves to obtain tea seeds, let alone provide them to humans.
It's a crime!
First of all, it is a common "crime" to create friendship, although it is not stable, but when the scale of tea plants expands, smuggling tea is the common interest of strengthening friendship.
Xia Duo gave Oreps a small hint of the future smuggling plan between the two countries, and Oreps immediately understood, and his attitude and tone instantly became more intimate.
The two talked for a while before they began to distribute the "ticket income" this time, in addition to the "Bonu Tea Seed" that had been pocketed by Xia Duo, there were four harvests.
It was all "bought" by the Silver Leaf family with real resources, even if Xia Duo wanted to get it, he had to pay the same price, and of course he could use other harvests to offset it.
"In addition to the Goldwind family, there are four other families who have chosen to use treasures to get boarding places, covering all members of those families, but in order to win over other families, I have also allocated some additional scattered places, so that they can send a small number of important family members to the north."
"That's good! These sporadic slots aren't cheap, are they? β
"Of course, now that Drow has chased down Savile Town, the only way to get real safety is to go north, and they are not willing to pay a high price."
Oreps had already received a notice from Shado that the Drow Assassin who had killed Ryan had been caught, but instead of revealing it, he used the news of Drow's arrival in Savile to keep pressure on other elven families.
Four treasures that are usually impossible to buy are now being sent to the door on their own initiative, although there is still a certain price to pay, but this price is extremely low compared to the treasure itself.
Not to mention, there is also the harvest from the sale of scattered places, which can almost be used to pay for these four treasures.
Aureps enumerated all the gains from the "business" of running the ticket, and finally said, "Lord Summer, you can choose two of these four treasures!" β
Xia Duo glanced at Aureps with a little deep meaning, but Orepus looked at each other calmly, Xia Duo couldn't help laughing at himself, since Orepus had this sincerity, he naturally wouldn't dare to accept it.
So he answered, "Okay! β
In fact, according to their original agreement, the "ticket income" was divided equally between the two sides, but when Xia Duo had already obtained the Bonu tea seed first, Oreps was willing to share it equally, which was what Xia Duo did not expect.
However, with the previous tacit understanding, the Bonu tea seed can be regarded as jointly owned by both parties, and it is not too much to divide it evenly now.
As for whether the income of those scattered places can be worth these four treasures, Xia Duo believes that they can't be worth it, these four treasures can make the elves so hot, it is obvious that they can no longer be measured by money.
"Patriarch Orips, introduce me!"
"Of course!"
Oreps first pointed to the only black gem-like treasure among the four treasures, and introduced: "This is a [Wisdom Gem] from the [Star Chip] family, also called the [Inheritance Gem], which contains the wisdom and knowledge of the past members of the Star Chip family, but it can be traded by them, and there should not be too much valuable content, but even so, the gem itself is a very precious treasure!" β
As if in order to imprint his own words, Orips added, "The Silver Leaf Family has no wisdom gem inheritance!" β
Then, he introduced the other three treasures, which were-
A magic sword that only needs to recite a spell to fly out of the enemy on its own, the attack range is only the visual range, once the attack time is over, or the target is killed, the magic sword will teleport back by itself;
A guardian golem also inspired by a spell, said to be a golem nation from the East, that at least protects against any attacks from the elite mages themselves;
Finally, the magic scroll made of dragon skin not only serves as an information vehicle to record the details of spells that can be learned in detail, but also stimulates their use.
Once activated, it immediately blocks teleportation and restricts flight, and at the same time summons a large area of chain lightning to indiscriminately attack living creatures other than the user in the range.
After the introduction, Oreps took a sip of tea and fell silent, quietly waiting for Xia Duo to make a choice.
