Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2617 Essence Trade Elemental Lord
After dinner, on the way back, Xia Duo mentioned the matter of the Void Warehouse again, "I will take care of the automation of the soul, and you should hurry up for the Void Warehouse, this matter is really very important!"

"Don't worry, I will start preparations tomorrow, do you have any suggestions?" Niya also became serious.

"There are only some ideas, and some prototypes of linking schemes have been made, but you still need to do the specifics, but if the automation is completed quickly enough, I will help!"

"If you say that, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

A relaxed smile appeared on Niya's face, but a trace of competitive fireworks ignited in her eyes.

……

On the second day, Niya called the team to start a new project in the void warehouse, while Xia Duo counted the elemental essences he currently possessed in the laboratory.

There are less than a hundred pieces, most of which come from the inventory in the Gale Fortress donated by the Calinthian Maired family, and a small part comes from the harvest when exploring the North Pole and cleaning up elemental creatures.

There are not a few elemental creatures in the Arctic Continent, but not every elemental creature can get an elemental soul after being killed. Using the analogy of human souls, it is almost like killing a human being, and the soul of the other party is directly separated out in a material form.

If you want to stably obtain the souls of normal creatures such as humans, you need to use the spell [Soul Binding]. Xia Duo also tried to use [Soul Binding] on elemental creatures when he was in the North Pole before, but he didn't get any. Elemental essence.

Obviously, the elemental spirit is similar to the soul of a normal creature, but not exactly the same. For the elemental spirit, there should be a method similar in nature to [Soul Binding Technique] to obtain it stably.

Of course, it is also possible that not all elemental creatures have elemental souls. This is temporarily doubtful, but Xia Duo guesses that when the elemental creatures are strong enough to a certain level, they must have souls.

It is a bit similar to the fruit that crops ripen, and it has a similar effect on normal creatures, that is, the fetus does not have obvious soul characteristics, and it needs to grow to a certain level to have a soul.

The more intelligent the creature is, the earlier the time to obtain the soul.

Therefore, if you want to obtain a stable supply of elemental essence, you still have to find a more professional person, that is, Calinthian.

Right now, there are less than a hundred elemental spirits, which may not be enough to carry out automated experiments, let alone be used purely as consumables to produce 28 node magic tools.

No matter how confident Xia Duo was, he would not have such delusional thoughts, so he contacted Talaf of the Maired family and mentioned the matter of purchasing the elemental essence.

Talaf agreed without any hesitation, "Recently, the family's elemental ranch has just been harvested. I don't know what level and attribute the lord Shaduo needs?"

"The research I'm doing now requires a lot of elemental spirits. If it's convenient, the higher the level, the better. Let's use a little bit of each attribute!"

Xia Duo wasn't sure what attributes and grades of elemental spirits needed to be used for spirit automation, but it would definitely be more convenient with higher levels and more types.

Even if it may be wasted this time, it is a necessary price.

"No problem. In addition to normal transactions, the Mai Ruide family is also willing to give you four elder-level elemental spirits for free. It is a small gesture."

Talaf's reply came a little later than Xia Duo expected, perhaps because he went to discuss with his father and grandfather, and the gift of elder-level elemental spirits he mentioned was a bit beyond Xia Duo's expectations.

Xia Duo did help the Maired family a lot when he was in Calimshan before, but at that time the other party had already given a lot of money in return. Among other things, the Storm Fortress on the Elemental Plane alone was not a big deal. General money can be measured.

This time again, Xia Duo felt inexplicably ashamed, but right now is the critical moment when there is a need for elemental spirits, he did not pretend to refuse generously, but agreed down.

Human relations, as long as there are exchanges, it is not living in a vacuum, how can everything be balanced, without any gain or loss?

After receiving the gift, Xia Duo expressed his gratitude to the Mered family and the friendship between the two parties, and he sent an invitation to Talaf to be a guest in Da Xialing.

And Talaf said——

"The previous turmoil has not completely passed. When the turmoil completely subsides, I will go to Netheril to disturb Lord Xiaduo."

This was considered a promise, so Xia Duo brought the topic back to the elemental spirit, and he asked Talaf: "I'm curious, what is the difference between the elder-level elemental spirit and the ordinary elemental spirit?"

"There is no essential difference, but elder-level elemental creatures can no longer be obtained through breeding, and each elder-level elemental creature has extraordinary wisdom. Elemental creatures of this level can only be obtained through war."

That's it!

Xia Duo was suddenly stunned, and at the same time, he finally confirmed that Calinshan had a mature elemental spirit industry. At least the elemental spirits below the elder level should be mass-produced for Calinshan.

However, at this moment, he did not mention the topic of introducing the elemental biological breeding industry to Tarafu. He must first confirm that the elemental essence can become a general automation solution.

Moreover, such a major project is not suitable for remote communication and discussion. It is best to find a formal opportunity for both parties to sit down and discuss on an equal footing.

……

Then, Xia Duo chatted with Tarafu for a while, mainly on the topic of elemental spirits, for example, the lord-level spirits that are higher than the elder level are even more rare and precious.

The core of the Gale Fortress is a lord-level spirit, which corresponds to a lord-level elemental creature, or an elemental lord.

Of course, there are strong and weak elemental lords, and the weak ones may not be as good as some powerful elemental elders, while the strong ones have almost no upper limit.

There is essentially no difference between the elemental creatures below the lord level. When they reach the lord level, they will have a natural control ability, which can control a large number of elemental creatures of the same kind, even if they are stronger than them.

Instead of a lord, you can only rely on violence to subdue other elements, not domination.

Although Talaf did not mention how the lord-level elemental creatures are produced, it is obvious that even lower-level elemental elders cannot be obtained through breeding, and the conditions for the production of elemental lords are definitely more stringent.

If you want to obtain a lord-level elemental spirit, I am afraid that it is impossible to conduct a general war. Unless you miss it, there is a high probability that you will have an all-out war with a large group of elemental creatures.

Previously, Xia Duo believed that the value of the Gale Fortress might lie in the elemental plane or the collection of the library in the fortress. Now it seems that the lord-level elemental spirit that maintains the fortress is not inferior to the other two!
