Lord of Arcane

Chapter 660 Four Treasures of Common Interest
"Yes!"

Xia Duo bluntly expressed his affirmation, and at the same time asked rhetorically, "Isn't the elf mage engaged in the field of planting?"

"no!"

Orepus immediately denied it, "Since you have magical talent, how can you waste it in the field of planting? Let those druids do this kind of thing!"

"..."

Having said that, why does Xia Duo feel that the other party is showing off his sense of superiority!The magic talents of elf mages are indeed different from those of humans, both in terms of choices and requirements.

In the world of elves, mage is a very noble profession, a real profession, similar to a full-time researcher. Those elves who are considered mages in the eyes of humans are actually not mages at all. It depends on what their essential work is. of.

In the human world, mage is more like a basic ability. People with this ability can engage in other professions, such as lord, researcher, warrior, guard, craftsman, etc.

This can be regarded as a semantic deviation between the two parties. Xia Duo did not delve into this issue, otherwise, two races were involved, with different concepts and languages, and it would not be enough to talk about it for days and nights.

He just said: "Some apprentices from the Tower of Time are willing to engage in planting. I plan to plant the Bonu tea tree in the Arcane Garden. It will be more convenient for human mages to take care of it."

In fact, his real plan is to use the new druids that are sprouting in the territory. Even if the apprentices of the Tower of Time are willing to engage in the field of planting, Xia Duo is still unwilling.

At this stage, whether it is to let them engage in education, or research, or just act as magic technicians, it is more appropriate than letting them farm!
This is like Xia Duo’s hometown. In Xia Duo’s era, there were many farmers with doctor’s degree and master’s degree, 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 to use mages to farm.

Although he rejected Oripus's idea of ​​providing druids, thinking that the condition he provided druids was to obtain seeds, Xia Duo proposed, "When the Bonu tea tree grows, I am willing to provide a batch of seeds for the Silver Leaf family, It is even negotiable to set aside an area in the Tower of Time Arcane Garden for the Silverleaf family to plant tea trees."

"This——" Orepus was moved instantly, but the elf's habit still made him a little uncomfortable with accepting gifts from humans.

"That `s a deal!"

Xia Duo saw that Orepus was moved, and that expression of wanting and embarrassment was indeed a bit funny, so he immediately made a decision to avoid embarrassing Orepus.

In fact, even if Orepus doesn't mention it, Xia Duo is ready to wait until the tea tree grows, provide seeds for Orepus, and establish a closer cooperative relationship.

The basis of the current cooperation between the two parties is that Orepus wants to stay and develop in the human world, and the Savile collar can provide certain convenience and protection, and there is no very close common interest.

Xia Duo would not be surprised if his face turned against him one day.

But co-planting Bonu tea is different. Comanso strictly forbids the "original leaves of Bonu" to flow into the human world, and it is very difficult for elves to obtain tea, let alone provide it to humans.

This is simply a crime!
First, the joint "crime" creates friendship, although it is not yet stable, but when the scale of the tea tree expands, smuggling tea is the common interest of stabilizing the friendship.

Xia Duo gave Orepus a little hint about the future smuggling plan between the two countries, and Orepus immediately understood, and his attitude and tone instantly became closer.

The two talked for a while before they began to distribute the "boat ticket income" this time. In addition to the "Bonu tea seed" that Xia Duo had already collected, there were four more things to gain.

They were all "bought" by the Yinye family with real resources. Even if Xia Duo wanted to get it, he had to pay an equal price, and of course he could use other gains to offset it.

"In addition to the Jinfeng family, there are four other families who choose to use treasures to obtain boarding quotas, covering all members of those families. However, in order to win over other families, I have also allocated some scattered quotas, allowing them to send a small number of important families Members are sent north."

"That's great! These scattered places aren't cheap, are they?"

"Of course, now that Zall has chased to Savile Town, the only way to get real safety is to go to the north. It's because they don't want to pay a high price."

Orepus had been notified by Xia Duo a long time ago, knowing that the drow assassin who killed Ryan had been caught, but he did not disclose it to the public. The elf family puts pressure.

The four treasures, which are usually impossible to buy, are now brought to their door on their own initiative. Although they still have to pay a certain price, the price is extremely low compared to the treasures themselves.

Not to mention, there are also gains from selling scattered quotas, which can almost be used to pay for these four treasures.

Orepus listed all the gains from operating the "business" of boat tickets, and finally said: "Lord Xiaduo, you can choose two of these four treasures!"

Xia Duo gave Orepus a deep look, but Orepus looked at him calmly. Xia Duo couldn't help laughing at himself. Since Orepus had such sincerity, he naturally wouldn't be afraid to accept it.

So he answered, "Okay!"

In fact, according to their original agreement, the "boat ticket income" was shared equally by both parties, but when Xia Duo had already obtained the Bonu tea plantation first, Oripus was willing to share equally, which was unexpected by Xia Duo.

However, with the previous tacit understanding, the Bonu tea plantation 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 from those scattered quotas can cover these four treasures, Xia Duo believes that they cannot. These four treasures can make elves so envious, obviously it can no longer be measured by money.

"Patriarch Orepus, introduce me!"

"Of course!"

Orepus first pointed to the only one among the four treasures that looked like a black gem, and introduced: "This is a [Wisdom Gem] from the [Stardust] family, also called [Inheritance Gem]. The wisdom and knowledge of the past members of the Stardust family can only be traded by them, and the valuable content should not be too much, but even so, the gem itself is a very precious treasure!"

As if to imprint his own words, Orepus added, "The Silver Leaf family doesn't have wisdom gem inheritance!"

Then, he introduced the other three treasures, which are——

A magic sword that can fly out to kill enemies by just chanting a spell. The attack range is only within the visual range. Once the attack time is over, or the target is killed, the magic sword will teleport back by itself;
A guardian puppet also inspired by the spell, it is said to come from the puppet country in the east, at least able to protect against any attacks issued by the elite mage itself;

The last one, the magic scroll made of dragon skin, is not only used as an information carrier to record detailed spell details that can be learned, but also can be used to inspire.

Once activated, the teleportation will be blocked immediately, the flight will be restricted, and a large-scale chain lightning will be summoned at the same time, and it will attack all living things within the range except the user indiscriminately.

After the introduction, Orepus took a sip of tea, fell silent, and quietly waited for Xia Duo to make a choice.
