Arcane Lord

Oripus sighed again and began to explain in detail: "This seed comes from a small family called 'Golden Wind', but their family origins can be traced back to the Crown War. They were once very prosperous, but The family experienced frequent turmoil and eventually became a small family huddled in a small border town.

"This Bonu Tea Tree Seed was obtained by them from a high-ranking family not long ago, and was planned to be used as a foundation for the family's revival. Unexpectedly, the small town where they were located was suddenly attacked by drow, and most of the family members lost. They had actually seen the drow with their own eyes. The elves have been frightened out of their courage by the ferocity of the drow!

"Before I even asked about Bonu Tea, they took the initiative to produce the tea seeds. As a deal, all the current members of their family can board the ship heading north tomorrow."

"That's the only condition?!"

After receiving Oripus's confirmation, Shado was shocked, because according to the previous plan, he actually paid for the information of other elf families, and boarding the ship was only an additional condition.

Unexpectedly, I exchanged my boarding quota directly for a Bonu tea seed!

This world is really incredible!

No wonder Oripus said he was lucky when he arrived! What good luck!

At the same time, he looked at Oripus with a closer look. After all, the other party could lie about the extra cost and then ask him to "reimburse" it.

If Oripus really did this, he might not be able to find it, but Oripus didn't do it. This kind of sincerity must be responded to by Shado.

Of course, this is not a lot of friendship, but at least there is a tacit understanding of cooperation.

…

Later, Xia Duo asked: "Chief Oripus, the Jinfeng family you just mentioned, do they provide methods for growing this kind of tea tree?"

He himself has a lot of planting experience, but at the same time he also knows that if the planting method is improper, it is easy to destroy a normal plant, especially when there is only one seed and trial and error is impossible, master the appropriate method. It seems particularly important.

In response to Shado's question, Oripus smiled slightly, and then said: "Lord Shado, although the Golden Wind family does not provide a planting method, this method is not a secret in Cormanthor. Many elven families lack it. It’s not the cultivation method, what they lack is this little tea tree seed! The restrictions imposed by the families who own the tea trees on the outflow of tea seeds are really too strict!”

"So, the Silver Leaf family also knows how to grow Bonu tea trees?"

"Yes!"

Oripus first responded, then took out a booklet, which was the same as the box containing tea seeds. He pushed it in front of Sha Duo and said to Sha Duo: "This is what I prepared for Lord Sha Duo. As long as I find a As a druid, you can easily cultivate a Bonu tea tree by following the above steps.”

"Druid?"

Hearing this word, Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned. He had never heard of druids being hired by others to help others with commercial planting. Those hard-headed people were only thinking about converting farmland and even villages. Transform into a forest, and then be completely integrated into the forest.

Now hearing Oripus mention the druids, Shado realized that maybe the elves' druids were different from the human druids, so he asked again: "Do the Cormanthor elves often hire druids for planting?" ?”

"Of course, if we don't use druids for cultivation, how can we feed so many elves without opening up farmland on a large scale!"

Obviously, Oripus was very surprised that Shado raised this question. Perhaps realizing that Shado did not know the Druid, he made another suggestion:

"If Lord Xia Duo agrees, I am willing to let a member of the Silver Leaf Family become a full-time druid. The condition is that after the Bonu tea tree grows, the seeds obtained must belong to the Silver Leaf Family."

Oripus was very reluctant to give up the seed from the Jinfeng family, but when he thought that he might still get the seed from Lord Shado in the future, it was not difficult for him to accept it.

He even thought of importing Bonu tea grown on the human side to Cormanso in order to get a huge boost to the family's growth, and this required him to have a more reliable ally on the human side.

If he is too strong, he may not be able to do anything; if he is too weak, it is impossible to support these undertakings. Lord Shado is just right, far away from the core area of ​​​​Nese, and at the same time, there is a mage tower as a planting base, which is very suitable for confidentiality and protection. .

…

Oripus' conditions were not excessive. He just asked for seeds in the future, and a full-time druid would be provided. In addition to taking care of the Bonu tea tree, it was not impossible to even ask this druid to cultivate some high-yielding crops.

There are indeed many benefits, but there is one thing that makes it almost impossible for Shado to accept an elf druid, and that is——

Elf druids are essentially priests of the elven god. If you keep an elven druid by your side, doesn't it mean that you are always exposed to the eyes of the elven god?

Although Sha Duo still has no way of knowing the difference between the Elf Lord and the Lord of Glory, at least the Lord of Glory will not take the initiative to interfere in mortal affairs and does an excellent job in "neutrality". If it weren't for the huge demand for the Lord of Glory by humans, The presence of the Lord of Radiance will be extremely low.

But the Elf Lord is different. Xia Duo received information from multiple channels - compared to the Lord of Glory, the Elf Lord seems to be a little too active.

So much so that he doesn't look like a god at all, but more like a mortal who has mastered the "power of god".

There are also some secrets that perhaps even the elves don't know about. For example, in the projection plane, the god of the elves is clearly the "Mother Goddess of Creation", but how come they become the so-called "Elf Lord God" when they reach the main plane.

Due to various reasons, Xia Duo does not want to have any substantial or non-substantive contact with this "Elf Lord". It is impossible to never have any intersection, but at least before he grows to a certain level, he should not attract too much attention. gaze.

But it's not good to refuse directly. Finally, we have some tacit understanding of cooperation, so it won't be wasted. After thinking about it, Xia Duo took out a few wheat seeds from his portable space, and then read a phrase in Elvish language - —

[Extreme life, flowers in full bloom]!

The strong life force suddenly emerged, covering these wheat seeds, and almost in the blink of an eye, these wheat seeds sprouted into tender seedlings. After doing this, Xia Duo looked at Oripus and asked:

"Chief Oripus, if you master the spell [Blooming Flowers], can you take good care of the Bonu tea tree?"

Oripus did not answer the question directly, but his face was full of surprise, "Lord Shado, do you want the mage to take care of the Bonu tea tree?"
