Arcane Lord

After a long silence, Niya suddenly moved her shoulders and said to Xia Duo, "Today I'm looking for you for another matter."

"Oh?" Seeing that Niya seemed to be talking about business, Xia Duo walked away from her, sat back opposite her, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, many merchants came from Conifila City, and more and more elves have entered Savile Town recently. They want us to send a ship to send them to the north."

When Niya said this, she looked at Xia Duo carefully. It is impossible for the territory to store ships without limit. Each ship has its own purpose. At present, the only idle ship near Savile Territory is Xia Duo's "Lucky Owen".

Xia Duo heard what Niya meant. It is also a good thing to send away those unstable factors, but the "Owen" will often transport food to Linshui Village recently and for a considerable period of time afterwards. Xia Duo can't let this ship go for several months.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo did not refuse, but said, "Remember the fleet I contacted Bellera to transport new people after the snow melting competition? Counting the days, it should be here soon. Those guys can't wait for a few days, right?"

Hearing Xia Duo say this, Niya's eyes suddenly lit up, "Another ship is coming?! Da Xia Territory should have more than 2,000 people now, right?"

"Almost. I don't know if the dragon disaster will affect the transportation of new people. If everything goes well, Da Xia Territory should have nearly 10,000 people this year."

"That's great. When my ancestors came to the southern border to open up, they only brought a few thousand people." Niya was quite emotional about this.

"That's because the current policy is good. Her Royal Highness the Princess has provided a lot of support for the pioneers."

Speaking of this, Xia Duo was also very emotional. Although there is a population surplus in the mainland in recent years, it is not up to him to decide whether others will give it or not. From this aspect alone, the princess is indeed a determined pioneer.

Feeling that the topic had gone a bit off topic, Xia Duo returned to the topic of the ship. "The ship that Mingshui Chamber of Commerce sent to the Tower of Time this quarter to deliver magic materials should be arriving soon! I don't believe that in just a few days, the drow can fight all the way to Conifila City, break through the five wizard towers, and then fight us here." "It's really unlikely." Niya agreed with Xia Duo's words, but she had a headache when she thought of those messy mainland merchants and elf refugees. "Forget it, let that Orips tribe leader have a headache. It's not that Savile County doesn't provide ships, but it takes a few more days." "That's right, whether it's those mainland merchants or elf refugees, Orips tribe leader is very useful." Xia Duo smiled and took out the can of "Bonu Yuanye", ready to show off to Niya, and of course share it. Unexpectedly, Niya recognized it at a glance, "It's 'Bonu Yuanye', from that Orips tribe leader?" "Yeah." "It seems that the Orips tribe leader really wants to stay in the human world!" Niya suddenly said meaningfully. "What do you mean?"

"The elves have always strictly prohibited the flow of 'Bonu Original Leaves' into the human world. It is said that long-term drinking is conducive to improving the affinity with the magic network. Even in the elf kingdom, it is very precious. Any elf who dares to sell 'Bonu Original Leaves' to humans in public will be punished."

Niya looked at the hollow mithril jar in Xiaduo's hand, and her mood was a little low. "My father spent a lot of money to buy some from the black market in Conifila City, but it's not even a quarter of the amount in your jar."

As if she suddenly thought of something, Niya leaned towards Xiaduo and lowered her voice a lot, "Maybe we should ask the chief of Orips to see if we can find tea tree seeds. With so many elf refugees, maybe some elves carry seeds with them!"

After listening to Niya's words, Xiaduo was stunned. He didn't even drink the tea, but he was thinking about other people's tea tree seeds. However, Niya's words also reminded him that it's not just tea tree seeds. Most elves are rich (at least compared to humans). Maybe he can really find some treasures!

It would definitely not work if humans came forward. After all, no matter how poor they are, most elves still look down on humans. But it is just right for the elves' own people to come forward.

The only question now is whether the chief of Orips is willing to be this "elf treacherous comprador"!

Shaduo has never seen an elf like the chief of Orips, who behaves almost the same as a human merchant. I think he should be willing as long as the conditions are right!

However, elves are elves after all, and it is not good to ask directly about this matter, otherwise if they are rejected, this relatively harmonious relationship may be reversed.

Seeing Nia's expectant look, Xia Duo didn't have the heart to disappoint her, and just said, "I'll find a chance to talk to him."

"Then you have to hurry up, it will be too late when the ship arrives and they leave!"

"What's too late? There are so many elf refugees in the supply point in the east and Conifila City. It's not possible that only the elves who come to Savile may have tea tree seeds!"

But having said that, Xia Duo still wants to talk to the chief of Orips as soon as possible. After all, the elves who can come to Savile have at least high-level wizards in their families, but they are temporarily recruited.

In terms of possibility, it is indeed the elves who come to Savile who are most likely to have tea tree seeds.

...

After talking about the elf refugees, Shaduo and Niya did not talk about any other topics. Instead, they drank tea quietly and enjoyed this rare leisure time while looking out the window at the pioneering scene of the people of Daxia Territory.

In the afternoon, Xia Duo was ready to return to Linshui Village, but this time he did not go back alone, but invited an elf friend to go with him.

Linshui Village, Altar Square.

Two figures standing side by side suddenly appeared in the corner of the square. It was Xia Duo and the elf Oripus who had just returned from the legend. Looking at the familiar scenes around them, Xia Duo introduced to Oripus:

"Chief Oripus, this is Linshui Village. Welcome to Daxia Territory!"

"What a nice territory!" Oripus looked around and praised a little.

But this is not entirely a commercial boast. When he was just teleported here, Oripus was attracted by the neat and almost identical group of wooden houses on the north side of the square at first sight.

The paths between the wooden houses and the square at their feet are also paved with bricks of the same size. Although these buildings and roads are still rough and not very exquisite in the eyes of the elves, they also have another strange sense of order and beauty.

When he put aside his prejudices and lowered his attitude, Oripus discovered that many advantages of humans and the human world are worth learning from elves. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "Lord Shado, can I visit the Great Xia Territory?"

"Of course, I'll ask Priest Leiden to show you around!"

Just as he was talking, Layton arrived. Although he was a little confused about why the lord brought an elf to the territory, he was still not rude in front of the elf. In addition to saluting the lord, he also gave a slight greeting to Oripus.

Seeing Leiden coming, Shado immediately ordered: "Leiden, take this elf friend around the territory!"

After that, he said to Oripus, "Chief Oripus, if you have any questions, you can ask Leiden. If he can't answer it, I will answer it for you later."

"Thank you Lord Shado."

…

Watching the two people leave, Shado summoned Leiden again and gave a few careful instructions before coming to the cafeteria, where he was going to prepare some food for his elf friends.
