Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2786 Visiting Elemental Ranch
At dusk, Shado mentioned the news that Tarafu had woken up, and by then the dinner party had been arranged in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time.

Considering that Taraf had already gone through several banquets before coming to Daxia, this dinner was kept as simple as possible, with Shadonia at the main seat, Aibok and Taraf sitting opposite each other.

The dishes are also what Xia Duo usually eats, and they are cooked by Cook, the territorial chef who was temporarily summoned to the Tower of Time.

During the banquet, Tarafu also commented on the characteristics of the cuisine of Daxialing, Yeerland and Kalishan. "Bactria food is full of color, flavor and flavor, and Yeerland food also has this feature, but compared to Daxia food, Yerlan's food is overly polished, and it no longer feels like food, but more like pieces of art deliberately displayed, losing the original taste of the food. In addition, the excessive pursuit of the original taste of the food is too bland.

"As for Calinshan cuisine, it is almost perfect in terms of sugar and dairy products, but in other aspects it is far inferior to Daxia and Erlan."

Ta Lafu's evaluation is fair, but he can't help but flatter him. Judging from Xia Duo's own experience, Daxia cuisine does have distinctive characteristics, using a variety of cooking methods, and is full of color, flavor and flavor. However, after all, it started late and has limited development. Compared with There are still certain gaps in Yeerlan cuisine.

But as Taraf said, Yeerlan cuisine places more emphasis on the original taste of food. When tasting Yeerland cuisine, basically as long as you recognize the ingredients, you can almost imagine what it will taste like when you eat it.

In addition, the most important point is that the dishes of Erlan and even all elven countries are more suitable for elves, and there will be almost no improvements specifically for humans.

There are physiological differences between humans and elves, and the same food experience will be different. The reason why Tarafu thinks that the elf food is okay may be largely because he tastes the top elf food.

Of course, the cooking methods of ordinary elves may be closer to Daxia cuisine, otherwise the restaurants opened by Easterners would not be so popular in the elven world.

Just like the ordinary Oriental restaurant in Cormanso that Chateau once went to, King Elisir even ate at it.

All in all, there is still a certain gap between the current Daxia cuisine and the top Yeerlan cuisine, but there is a lot of room for improvement, and the development prospects are broader, and it is easier to be accepted by the public.

……

After the dinner, it was still early, and Sha Duo and Tarafu had their first meeting in the reception room.

"What are the requirements of the Mairead family regarding the transfer of technology related to Element Ranch?"

Xia Duo was not going to beat around the bush and put forward conditions directly. When he was in Taivimansa before, Tarafu mentioned that the Mairead family was not opposed to technology transfer, but they just needed to put forward conditions. To make roundabout ways at this time would simply bring both parties together. All treated as fools.

And Tarafu was not surprised by Sha Duo's directness. In his impression, Sha Duo had always been so straightforward and sincere, "What the family wanted most was Mythra, but Lord Sha Duo had already rejected it last time. , so this time I will not challenge the friendship between our two families with such conditions.

"According to my grandfather's instructions, we only have two requirements. One is to increase the trade volume of arcane crystals, and the other is to increase the production of all the essences of the Element Ranch. The Tower of Time cannot be sold to outsiders. It can only be used for our own use or sold to the Mairead family. .”

There are indeed only two conditions, but how much the increase in trade volume will be, at what price, and at what price the output essence will be sold, we have only determined the basic framework of the negotiation, and further consultations are needed.

In addition, there are many details of Element Ranch, not only technology, but also finished products, production cycles, etc.

……

In the next few days, Sha Duo accompanied Tarafu in the floating city and the ground territory, while also discussing the details of the technology transfer related to Element Ranch.

After a week of negotiations, most of the key issues were confirmed, so Talaf invited Shado to Calimshan to visit the elemental ranch of the Maired family.

In fact, the Elemental Ranch is built in an alien plane, and there is no restriction on where to enter. However, only entering from Calimshan can ensure that Shado will not detect the coordinates of the plane during the process.This is not a matter of trust or distrust, but a necessary measure for a family to thrive for a long time. For example, Shado will definitely not take Tarafu to places that he considers to be sensitive.

Not testing human nature is often not only for others, but also for yourself.

Xia Duo accepted Tarafu's invitation. After all, he was now the buyer. But would the buyer really dare to sign the contract and pay without seeing the goods?
Even if he has a high degree of trust in the Mairead family, such a necessary process cannot be omitted, and he has long wanted to see what the so-called elemental ranch looks like.

During the negotiations, Tarafu had already reminded that even if the Tower of Time started building the Elemental Ranch now, there would be no results in a short time. If Shado wanted to see the Elemental Ranch with his own eyes, he would have to go to Calimshan.

This trip to Calimshan, in addition to visiting the Elemental Ranch, is also to sign a cooperation agreement. If nothing unexpected happens, the Tower of Time's own Elemental Ranch will be built in the [Wind Plane] this month.

[The Gale Plane] is the wind elemental plane where the Gale Fortress is located, which the Mairead family had previously given to thank Shado.

There used to be a small elemental ranch in that plane, but it was all removed when it was given to Xia Duo. This was also revealed by Tarafu during the negotiation.

……

Before leaving, Shado transferred the incarnation of the saint back from Evereska. He will use the incarnation for the next trip to Calimshan, and his body will still stay in the territory to conduct research related to the power of order.

In addition, with Shado accompanying him, Taraf did not have to fly back slowly this time. Instead, Shado opened a portal to the Shining Sea south of Calimshan.

The two of them passed through the portal and came directly to the vicinity of Calimshan, and it didn't take long to fly there.

……

Mairead family territory.

The package that Xia Duo used to receive Mairead before was now his turn to experience it. After a set of procedures including visiting the Mairead family territory, banquet, and meeting with Grandpa Mairead, it was time to visit the Element Ranch.

Next to the lake surrounded by three towers, Shaduo and Tarafu stood waiting. After a while, a strange whirlwind blew over this lake, which was rare in the desert.

As the cyclone grew larger and larger, it even caused circles of whirlpool ripples to form on the lake surface that was originally like a mirror.

When the ripples expanded to the entire lake surface, and even some of the lake water was attracted by the cyclone to spiral upward, Tarafu on the side promptly reminded:
"Okay, the plane passage has been opened, let's go there."

With that said, Tarafu took the lead and flew towards the eye of the wind above the lake, followed closely by Sha Duo.

After entering the eye of the storm, Xia Duo could clearly perceive the lake below at first, but as the two continued deeper, his perception gradually became blurred until only the boundless wind was left.

After a while, Tarafu reminded again: "Elemental Ranch has arrived."

At the same time, Xia Duo's perception gradually became clearer, but there was no longer any shadow of the lake around him, but a void.
A void filled with violent winds.
