Arcane Lord

After several rounds of verbal exchanges without any fireworks, both Sha Duo and Jelenstad Mianwang had a basic understanding of each other's attitudes, and then came the dinner party.

It was a little different from what Xia Duo had thought when he came. He had thought that with the eager attitude of the other party, there was a high probability that he would put forward the terms of the transaction at the dinner.

But he didn't expect that during the entire banquet, neither Prince Mian nor the advisor even mentioned this matter. At most, they only introduced the dishes for the banquet to Xia Duo.

Fortunately, Xia Duo's acceptance of the diet of the upper elf is quite acceptable. Perhaps due to the report from the servants at the temporary residence, Xia Duo also specially prepared high-quality oriental tea for Xia Duo at the dinner.

After the dinner was over and the two parties returned to the previous reception room, they entered the real theme of the night. Sulis, the magic advisor of the crowned king, took the lead in setting the topic:

"Master Athos, Elder Anti once sent a message to my father about a young mage from the south who wanted to eliminate the natural disasters of the world, and asked my father to help bring them together. I'm sorry that my father didn't come due to some reasons. If Master Athos still doesn’t change his mind, then we can talk about a deal.”

"My point of view will not change. We must collect the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll as soon as possible to save the world. Although I really hope that I can be the final savior, it is not unacceptable if it is other elves, so I am here."

Shado has determined that a consensus has been reached within Jelenstad, and even the elders of the Elf Court must obey this decision.

Whether or not the middleman introduced by Elder Anti affects the final result. Xia Duo has long been aware of this, and he is not surprised by the current situation.

Now, both parties have shown a willingness to trade, and the remaining question is how to trade.

"I wonder which part of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll Master Athos possesses?" Sulis asked.

"Yan Ye documents numbered 11, 12, and 13 only have the content, not the original."

These are the three secret scrolls that Sha Duo obtained in the Kingdom of Akora on the main plane, but just as he finished speaking, Sulis and King Jelensta looked at each other, exchanged glances, and finally shook their heads in disappointment. He shook his head:

"Unfortunately, if there is no original but only the content, I'm afraid we can't exchange it with the original. Of course, Jelenstad has also collected the secret scroll information that lost the original in the past years. If you don't mind, We can trade this part."

Is that so? !

Xia Duo suddenly thought deeply. For the country, the first thing to ensure is the authenticity of treasures like the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll. If it turns out to be fake, at least it will be difficult to find it until most of the secret scrolls are collected.

In this case, only using the original transaction is a safer transaction method.

Xia Duo also realized that he had thought of this transaction too simply before. Although he would not cheat in the transaction, if the other party wanted to eliminate this risk, the transaction content alone would not be enough.

For him, it is not that important whether the transaction is the real Dragon Madness Secret Scroll. Anyway, the goods will be inspected before the transaction.

As long as it is related to the Mystery Lock and reaches a certain depth, even if it is not the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, he will not lose.

Change the projection plane and you can trade again.

But now, judging from Jelenstad's attitude, he probably wants to trade the original. In fact, this is not the best choice for him, and there are many more variables out of thin air.

Maybe the other party had already laid an ambush, and just waiting for him to take out the original secret scroll, they would swarm him and suppress him.

Then, placing the actual trading location in Jelenstad is a pure wrong choice.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly wanted to quit. It was not that he was worried that the other party would attack him now, but that in this situation, it was obvious that a real deal could not be reached.

It's nothing more than negotiating the terms first, and then agreeing on the place and method of the transaction.

In this case, it is better to leave first. After all, it is a bit uncomfortable to be in someone else's home court, and he can also see that Jelenstad's attitude towards the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll is not to say that he is bound to win it, but at least he should try his best to fight for it.

Then what else does he have to worry about? The worst he can do is find another company.

Therefore, Xia Duo also shook his head, "Master Sulis, as you said, content trading is limited to content, and there is also some original content, but I think this is not the best place to talk about these.

"If possible, I hope to see you again at the Elf Court tomorrow. I'm sorry."

After saying that, Xia Duo stood up and bowed to Prince Mian and Sulis, then turned and left. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he walked out of the palace.

If the other party really wants to break up with each other, he will definitely turn Jelenstad upside down.

…

Inner reception room.

After Xia Duo stood up, Prince Jelenstad subconsciously threw out the jewelry he was playing with. Fortunately, Sulis saw it and pocketed it with a move, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the generous gift!"

King Mian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but regret what he had just done. Fortunately, he was stopped by Sulis. However, when he thought that the jewelry was given to him by Master Prodi, it didn't take long for him to get it, and it was taken by Sulis. I feel a little sad when I think about leaving.

So he could only turn his anger to the southern mage who had just left. He stared into Sulis's eyes and said faintly: "I regret my previous decision now."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This is probably the first time that the other party has conducted such a transaction. The original transaction was too risky. If I were him, I would probably make a similar move."

"But I'm still angry! Even King Katemere wouldn't dare to be so rude in front of me!"

"cough--"

Sulis seemed to pretend not to hear what he just said, but he couldn't avoid the resentful look in the Crown Prince's eyes. He had no choice but to remind him in a low voice: "Your Majesty has never met the Crown Prince Katemir so far, and -"

As if he knew what Sulis wanted to say, King Mian immediately stopped him with his eyes and quickly changed the subject, "When you arrive at the Elf Court tomorrow, remember to visit some elders from Jelenstad for me."

"yes."

…

And on the other side.

After leaving the palace, Xia Duo did not return to the residence arranged for him by the envoy of King Mian. Instead, he walked around the city and then left directly for the Elf Court.

He still opened a temporary tree house and stayed in it as he did the day before. Since Sha Duo did not conceal his identity when traveling back and forth, the news that Master Lyle appeared again in the Elf Court quickly alarmed everyone.

Just as Xia Duo was thinking about how to perfect the transaction process, another group of visitors came outside the tree house, but this time he saw no one.

It doesn't make much sense to meet, at least wait until he and Jelenstad complete the transaction before considering anything else.

Of course, even if considered, Salvin must be excluded.

The fourteen Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls that Sha Duo planned to trade originally came from Sharvin. In addition, an Elf Court elder who was born in Sharvin gave him some copies of the secret scrolls. What's going on?

Just return to the main plane and go to the treasury guarded by Xilin and stuff a set of copies of all the secret scrolls you own, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.
