Arcane Lord

Soon, Toph made a condition——

"Any piece of information related to the high mage is valuable. Therefore, I need Lord Shado to support the Moon Crown family in the next spice sharing negotiation for an additional 20%, or to provide two designated high-grade spice live strains."

These two conditions don't seem strict, but in fact they are full of traps.

First of all, the three parties have already negotiated how to share the 20% spice share. Let alone raising the price in the next negotiation, it is impossible for Xia Duo to agree to this matter alone.

You must know that the source of the spices is not Chateau himself, but Lord Collins. Unless Chateau is willing to give up his share, he is betraying Collins' interests.

And if he gives up his share, it is almost equivalent to being completely out of the spice smuggling business. Even if Chateau agrees, Collins may not agree.

What's more, it's impossible for Shado to agree to Toph privately before discussing with Collins.

And the other condition is to take out the two designated live strains of high-grade spices. It is certain that they must be spices that have long been extinct in the Elf Kingdom and only exist in a few ancient ruins.

As an expert in ruins, Lord Collins might have it, but Shado definitely didn't.

Toft proposed this condition either because he wanted him to bleed out and exchange it with Collins, or because he wanted him to steal or rob it from Collins. Sha Duo was more inclined to the latter possibility.

Even if Xia Duo had the ability to do such a thing, he would not do it.

As for exchange, two high-grade spices that are currently extinct in elven society are almost priceless treasures until there are no other sources.

Obviously, these two conditions of Tofti are too overwhelming.

\\bXia Duo doesn't understand very well. Could it be that the relaxation and even enthusiasm shown by the other party before were just to force others into trouble at this moment?

"Ms. Toph, you should know that it is impossible for me to agree to these two conditions. Can you exchange for other conditions?"

"Unfortunately, unless you can provide mithril ore to the Moon Crown Family, you can only meet these two conditions. In fact, I have already told you the most important information. As long as Lord Xia Duo acts cautiously, he doesn't have to care about Jerry. Nice threat.”

Toph's original intention seemed to be to persuade Shado to agree to the conditions, but after thinking for a while, Shado proposed: "I think it can be changed to this condition -

"With the information provided by the Moon Crown Family, I will arrange an assassination to completely eliminate Jelinis. I think if the relationship between the Moon Crown Family and Jerinis is good, Ms. Toph will not remind me!"

"Can you kill Jelinis?" Toph opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to get to know Shado again.

But Xia Duo shook his head honestly, "No, but I can ask my teacher for help. As long as the plan is proper, even a high mage may die!"

Of course, this is still nonsense. Let's not say whether Iolum will agree. It is impossible for Shado himself to abandon the golden opportunity of peaceful development to carry out any assassination.

In addition, the Northland Alliance is facing the threat of drow and will not allow serious targeted deaths to occur in various countries at this stage.

However, Shado's answer made Toph look thoughtful, as if she was really considering the feasibility of this matter.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was really worried that the other party would agree. In that case, he would be a little passive and it would take a lot of brain cells to fool this farce.

"Ms. Toph, let's stop talking about Jelinis for now. No matter how we deal with it, you and I need to think carefully about it."

Here, Xia Duo leads this matter, which was originally only related to him, to the Yueguan family. Of course, Toph's identity has yet to be confirmed, and the other party's purpose is still unclear.

But at this moment, there seemed to be some tacit understanding between one person and one elf. Toph seemed to realize that such a secret topic was not suitable to be discussed here, so she responded to Shado's suggestion and said:

"Lord Shado, what else do you want to ask? Did I do something to those human mages? I can tell you clearly that I did not do anything to them."

Toph said this so firmly that Shado had the illusion that she had made a misjudgment, but the fact was——

Although Shado couldn't determine the specific details of Toph's spell at that time, he was at least certain that the other party had cast it.

However, with Toph's current attitude, Shado probably wouldn't be able to find out what's going on. If she continues to pester him, maybe the other party will fall out.

So Xia Duo changed the subject at the right time, "I understand, this matter ends here.

"'When I was in Severton a few days ago, I heard the teacher mention Master Quelselin of the Moon Crown family. The teacher praised him very much. I wonder what the relationship between Ms. Toph and him is-"

"He's my uncle!"

Toph only said this and then kept silent.

Sha Duo saw that the other party did not seem to want to talk about his family's situation, but he still continued to ask: "I heard that Master Quelselin once challenged the crowned king of Ilisel. Is this true?"

Previously in Severton, Shado and Iolum had talked about the various challengers in Ilisel, which was a topic extended from the challenger of the Uvelen remnants of Everesca.

One of them mentioned Quelselin of the Moon Crown Family. Because Shado was more interested in the Moon Crown Family, he asked a few more questions. This time he used it to test Toph.

At that time, the duel between Quelselin and the Crown Prince of Ilythel took place at a banquet. The junior was rude, but the Crown Prince accepted it very generously and taught Quelselin a good lesson.

Although Quelsselin lost, in Cormanthor, this matter was not shameful, but rather glorious.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Prince Mian. It was an experience that stood out in the limelight!

If Toph is really from the Moon Crown family, even if the family and Crown Prince have different political stances, the nature of the matter itself will not change. As long as a true Moon Crown family member is asked, they should all answer .

In fact, Iolum got the magical image of the banquet from somewhere, and because Shado asked about it, he showed it to Shado.

Now let’s see how Toph responds!

Should he continue to pretend to be dead, play it off casually, or show off to his fullest?

"It's true, but it can't be said that it was Uncle Quelsselin who challenged the crowned king, but that the crowned king gave uncle Quelsselin advice. It was at an autumn celebration banquet, but I was not present at the time and I don't know the specific situation. ”

Xia Duoming nodded with a clear look on his face, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Toph's answer seemed very unusual to him.

Most elves value their family and family members. Now they have an opportunity to brag in front of humans. How could they miss it, unless——

That's not my family!
